If you give people a generator that produces "cheap and plentiful energy"? Absolutely. Total world power dissipation increases as fast as they can build the plants. If we never produce another molecule of CO2 again we might be okay in that situation, but things like that don't change overnight.

Sequoia Capitol did a “crucible moment” presentation on May 16, 2022.

Previously they did one on Mar 5, 2020 (as Covid numbers explode in the USA) and Oct 10, 2008 (acceleration of the Great Recession).

Pixel binning isn't about having 4 subpixels per pixel it's about multiplying the number of supixels per pixel by 4. On a typical Bayer arrangement with 4:1 binning that means 4 red, 4 blue, and 8 green subpixels per pixel (total of 16) instead of 4 pixels each with 1 red, 1 blue, and 2 green subpixels.

I've never really seen a good explanation for why this is anything special vs just making the image smaller post capture in a non-naive way (like when they are already running it through the AI offload engine) considering all the hype it gets.
A cycling peloton is just humans imitating birds. If Peloton, the company, did not want to lose lawsuits it should have used a word that wasn't already in use in the same neighborhood.

They could have called the company Wopat or something, and people still would have bought the things (given Covid, but still).
Adding some invented constraints on to the problem of nuclear fusion is the most bikesheddy thing I've ever read.
Isn't there some rule that any browser on iOS must use the native Safari engine? So if iOS Safari doesn't support something, there's no way for Firefox to add that support. It's basically just a skin.

this particular wording could be used to ban any criticism of contributions (regardless of the criticism's correctness):

"Fusion Reactor First Wall Cooling" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHJyoqDO0zw talks about the steady-state heat transfer out of a proposed tokamak design. Around 1:09:23 they show "1.5 GW" deposited as "0.3 GW from radiative photons -> surface heating" plus "1.2 GW from 14.1 MeV neutrons -> volumetric heating".

Designing the first wall and the volumetric blanket are, indeed, engineering challenges.
It only has i386, ppc, and arm64 slices. So, an Intel Mac running recent macOS won't be able to launch it as it does not have an x86_64 slice (32-bit x86 execution having been removed).

Whether an app containing code for 3 architectures qualifies as "true 5-arch universal" is in the eye of the beholder I guess.
Now I'm interested to see where this is going. The plutocracy do not tend to regularly take out student loans. Federal student loans, the one the federal government has the power to discharge, were paid out of the pockets of taxpayers, where it was then used to fund the beach vacations of university administrators, a decade or two ago. Meanwhile, in the present, the beneficiaries of loan forgiveness are the lower-middle class college-educated who were poor enough to need a loan, rich enough to consider college in the first place, and unlucky enough to not take the one major (computer science) that would allow them to pay back their loan in the modern economy. Say what you will about student loan forgiveness, but at no point is any facet of it an appreciable vector of plutocratic wealth concentration.
However, when it comes to contracts with european companies, it has more to do with fundraising. Energy and even margins are not hitting game studios and SaS products, but it is harder to close funding rounds.

Why? Because asset prices in europe are down hard, and the exiting holders are reluctant to accept dilution by taking adequate funding now. The new investors would get a better price than them and erode their share of the company excessively, so they'd rather push management to raise less, cut costs, and try to limp through to better times.

The other side of this is that venture firms / PE had an amazing 2021, so now they have loads of cash and not many opportunities. They can hold off for a while but the money needs to be committed before this dip is realistically over.
They are aligned, at least for those things where consumers are the purchaser.

Phew! I'm not sure about Rogers and Bell, but Telus doesn't seem to grasp what the "e" stands for in eSIM. You have to go to a store and buy a physical card with the eSIM QR code printed on it. Instant online-delivery? Naw, that's too hard. (I opted for an eSIM with my iPad Pro.)

This can be down to Settings. I traveled to Thailand and had similar issues with AT&Ts service. IIRC there may be 2 or even 3 separate 'roaming' type settings that need to be enabled for everything to work.
Talk about market realism. By that definition if everyone else died of starvation because there was one container food left and elon musk bought it there's no famine.
With respect to taking care of elders, or more specifically, people who need assistance due to aging, almost all cultures are “broken” simply due to demographic issues.

Longer life expectancies, more medical treatments to keep people around, but not fully functional, and declining birthrates inevitably lead to a situation where sacrifices have to be made.
> Is this just me, or do others feel similar?

Same feeling here, but in my case I'm blaming it on me getting slightly older (passed the 40-year mark recently).

I'm also looking at past TV series that I definitely liked back in the day (and which I still do) with different eyes. For example, when watching The Office (the US version) I've started to take Dwight's side more and more, while hating on almost any common action taken by Jim and Pam. Also, the more I re-watch Seinfeld the more I feel as one with George Costanza, and even with his dad (played by Jerry Stiller).
That rabbit hole led me to learning about GSB.
It's amazing that any hobby, however trivial, when interrogated and pursued to its deepest extremity, contains a microcosm of the human condition.
I was going to suggest the same. World building is fun to read and might be interesting to post on if you’re a writer.
It was also sly of the author to put the word at the beginning of the title so that it should be capitalized.
> The advantage of CRLs isn't that they can be used offline, it's that it allows your security team to burn certificates rather than waiting for the CA to do so. You should always subscribe to your CA's CRL too, but you should have a CRL for your own internal use, too.

This is incorrect conventionally

CRLs are signed by the Originating CA in the conventional trust model.

Most CAs won't give you a certificate with the ability to generate your own CRL sharing the same trust, because it can be weaponized to cause a denial of service.

This then brings up non-conventional trust models, and Validation Authority as Co-equal to CA situations for validity which can be significantly more challenging, and requiring VA certificate insertion into every Relying Party, just to name a few things, not to mention all the security concerns.

People said the same thing about TV (and before that, newspapers/radio).

With any new technology, societies will overdo it when it's new and then eventually find some happy-medium. You're seeing this happen now with more awareness around social media overuse or digital detoxes being more in vogue. People are slowly finding their happy medium.

Fear not, it's all a part of the natural course of things.
I always thought they were German, but apparently the origin has not been conclusively tracked. They are called Speculaas in Dutch and Spekulatius in German
> Thanks, that makes sense. I did remember that sensors have "sub-pixels" that are grouped, and that you can access the sub-pixel to get "4 times" more pixels.

It's sort of backwards. You can get access to sub pixels to get '4 times' more data, but pixel binning is actually the other direction -> grouping pixels together.

A lot of camera performance is related to photosite size - larger photosites for light to hit, better performance/more sensitivity. The problem is that if you have a camera sensor in a DSLR, you have room for big pixels, but when you have the small sensors in phones you don't have the room for large pixels and giant MP count for marketing.

So pixel binning treats groups of pixels like one large pixel to try and improve sensor performance while still maintaining large megapixel counts for marketing.

In terms of innovation we haven't heard anything. There are already smartphones with pixel binning on the market. This is apple just saying Us Too unless they've released information on a new unique binning technique I haven't seen.
I agree it is profound. I think the key is whether the workload is meaningful or purposeful; motivation being a proxy for how meaningful the work is. That meaning is both intrinsic (something someone finds personally meaningful) and extrinsic (something that contributes meaningfully to a greater whole).

You can still kill yourself on onerous yet meaningful work, but you'll also die fufilled and self-actualized.
Or continue SGU. It just got started being interesting before it was cancelled!

Apple also has support for 3rd party apps as text spam blockers. I use one called VeroSMS which is decent and configurable enough
> The medical industry is squarely in the crosshairs of "most broken and fucked up industry in the country" pretty much constantly.

The problem is that you speak for others when they hold the opposing view - our medical industry is evidence of the free market working at its best, and providing care for dollars with no hidden or extraneous fees.
Does this open the door to potential IMEI randomization? That could prove to be a privacy improvement for American travelers to countries who are much more aggressive with tracking people around with their phones
Can you spell that out?

We are still able to have two-way communication with both Voyagers.

Google’s Lyra codec can already get down to 3Kb/s and be reasonably audible. It’s not a stretch to imagine within a few years we’ll be able to push that to below 1Kb/s.

Taking those two things together, I think it’s fairly reasonable to assume at least text and voice are within reach.
> All for a minor convenience during first setup.

I think it is a huge inconvenience. When I was with my stepdad, trying to port a SIM to an eSIM took over 20 minutes. Since my mom wasn't there, we attempted to call her because they needed at least the last four of her SSN and the account password (which she couldn't remember).

In the end, we found out that we could simply just pop out the old SIM and put it in the new phone. That took us all of 30 seconds.
Yes, this highlights several points:

1. Different companies have different focus and strategies. I would say Google likes to experiment, but sometimes has poor follow-through. Apple often waits a few generations before committing to new technology, so they often are not innovation leaders, but they execute well.

2. Roll-outs often do not occur all at once. There might be blockers which are not immediately visible, such as regulational, financial, cultural. A regulational example would be how Apple Watch's ECG was not rolled out world-wide at first, and was spread slowly as various countries gave approval for this feature.
I used to suffer depression, and the biggest advice I got was to diversify my sources of self-esteem. It's fragile to only have one source of ego, you want to have hobbies, work, friends and family, all to support you when things go badly. Because we all have off days, it becomes a spiral when we don't have things to help us through.

We know this already, but I wonder what the remedies are.

My SO can barely watch a movie or tv show before she gets back to infinite scrolling socials, it's a disaster. 5 minutes is the most she can do. Going out with me or friends is the same, few minutes and she's back checking emails and socials.

I decided to lead by example and delete all socials, even reddit or linkedin, but it's impossible.
What about including the free market of tax helper systems and services? You'll be wiping out an entire industry - doesn't seem very conservative to me.
Why would you do this in a time of high inflation?
This is absolutely not true. My day job is designing control systems for renewable generation so I certainly don't have a bias against renewables - the opposite in fact.

The fact remains that the physics of a grid powered only by distributed non-dispatchable wind and solar resources simply does.not.work. full stop without massive investments in storage and transmission upgrades. The physics isn't even debatable - it's simple. You only have to look at the very limited transmission infrastructure that currently exists and understand the simple fact that the power grid is a zero sum game. Power in = Power out or very bad things happen that lead to power out = 0. Zero sum generation + aging transmission = not enough power where you need it, when you need it if you get rid of traditional baseload sources.

It's good to champion renewable generation, storage, and transmission upgrades. It's necessary infrastructure for the economic and actual health of our nation. It is not going to be inexpensive by any definition of the term. It's going to be monumentally expensive even if it's completely necessary.
B5 was one of the first non soaps to have a continuous narrative. Stargate followed, and later seasons of ds9 copied it too. Was a great time

Later shows went for a single narrative spread over a season — 24 pioneered that, but before that Buffy had championed the “big bad” each season, although with Buffy you didn’t have to watch every episode in order for it to make sense.

Even in the 2010s the new Star Trek series (Picard, Discovery), and especially the CW arrowverse are prime examples of how poor that structure is.

Well, it's just another of our favorite converters - kinetic <-> electric energy.

electric <-> kinetic - spinning magnets

kinetic <-> pressure - turbine / pump

pressure <- heat - boiler

heat <- chemical potential - furnace
Synchronizing with a bike computer, connecting to sensors (speed, power, cadence, some hrms), triathlon features, battery life (although the ultra here is OK, but nothing like a fenix), strava live segments are a few that come to mind.
Merkle Hash Trees are the well-known solution for this, whenever they decide to update the protocols (was software patent encumbered til 2017)
What invented constraints? We've been chasing nuclear fusion since long before we really cared about greenhouse gas emissions. We want 'cheap and plentiful power'. Greenhouse gas intensity is a recent addition to the set of goals. It doesn't replace the existing motives, and to claim otherwise is greenwashing.
Fair question. Easy answer. If it's some random HN user, then maybe it's rule lawyering. If it's 'dang, it's not.
I predict it will get easier following this announcement. Also there are services like Airalo with travel eSims for most countries in a single account and app.

IMO, documentary film should be consumed as entertainment and not as an actual document. Almost any documentary that can be entertaining enough to draw any kind of significant viewership in has to have a narrative. And narrative is often in contention with reality.

I joined a VC-backed company a few months ago. Back then there was an air of confidence in the team. Now I'm getting mixed signals from management and they seem low key insecure. Turnover is slowly but noticeably increasing.

I will apply Occam's razor here - investors don't want to gamble their money on crappy software. SaaS vendors were playing on easy mode before 2022, but it's over for obvious reasons.

If you want to succeed, it's time to increase that engineering budget and let your sales people sell something that actually works.
Yes it does. The use of the word plunge is very much not matter of fact, and connotes that the decrease is faster and/or greater than would normally be expected. Again, nuclear fireball is a perfectly accurate description of the sun, but what matters is the first thing that pops into someone's mind when they hear it described that way. The title could have easily been rephrased to be mundane and matter of fact, for example as "Shipping rates decreased 60% year over year as industry moves past pandemic"

That you might be able to make it even more clickbait-y does not make the current headline not-clickbait.
Battlestar Galactica’s reboot was very well received.

Personally as a fan of the original supermarination Thunderbirds, I loved the CGI reboot too.

SNW wasn’t release in the U.K. so I only saw the first episode. My understanding is it’s much more episodic, unlike Picard and Discovery which are a single 10 hour episode each season.
Indeed, and look how effective they’ve been.
If the phone detects you're away from the network, they could prompt you to update your location every once in a while.
Tmobile Starlink is text only. It definitely does not support 3G data speeds.
I hope you're right, because that world is probably coming, but to play devil's advocate:

The biggest difference is that I believe we would all be more honest with one another if we had perfect memory.

This reminds me of Mark Zuckerberg believing the world would be a better place if we couldn't have multiple identities, because multiple identities showed a lack of integrity.

It would prevent more marital strife than it would create.

It depends on which way the causality goes in "forgive and forget"!
But even the iPhone 8 doesn’t support all of the features of iOS 16:

* Live Text

* can’t send emojis in iMessage using Siri

* can’t ask Siri about apps

* offline Siri support for HomeKit, Intercom, Voicemail

* being able to smoothly switch between voice and typing when using dictation

* adding medications using the camera

* Door Detection in Magnifier

* Image search in more apps
It’s pretty common for European carriers to offer pay as you go plans via eSIM and an app. Pay with your card and can add it to your phone ahead of your trip.

So no, not “literally no one”. Things are changing, eSIM is increasingly common. Apple’s being Apple and just propels that change.
The vulnerability list is open source and you can get a list of public projects that use each dependency from pkg.go.dev - if you really want a list, there are at least a few ways that are more efficient than scanning GitHub! (As you pointed out above)

It might be worth giving the Apple Store or online support another shot.

I was in basically the exact same position a month ago (pros bought launch week, very out of warranty, known crackling issue) and they replaced the ear pieces (but not the case) without question or hesitation.
I too found this troubling.

Mainly because we are not talking about validation performance, and OCSP stapling is an excellent performance fix.

Not to mention all the privacy issues that OCSP stapling really fixes.
Allow lists are still great for "secure lines" where the number isn't given out, where only "paired" devices should be able to reach the line. (Coincidentally, phones given to children also fit this description.)

For everything else, the call-screening apps do work. Most of them have e.g. a "no neighbour prefix" filter, to block all calls that (are faked to) come from your own phone number's same area code + first 5 digits.

An IVR isn't something Apple (or any cellular equipment manufacturer) can really offer. For it to work right with sending-to-voicemail etc, it'd need to be something that happens before the call reaches the handset, rather than something the handset itself does. In other words, it'd need to be a feature of a cellular phone plan. But cellular providers have absolutely no incentive to innovate in this space. (I'm still surprised they ever bothered to support visual voicemail — and even now, many of them still charge extra for that!)
It also complicates backups. I have another process that .backups the database but even when opening it in read-only it creates a .wal file. My first version of the backup script didn't delete it afterwards and the normal process didn't have the right to overwrite the backup's wal file so opening the db failed
