The typical American kitchen doesn't exhaust cooking fumes out of the house - the rangehood (typically part of the microwave) just sucks the fumes up and blows them over the head of the cooker, distributing food particles and steam around the entire house (perfect for mold growth!).

It blew my mind seeing this as an Australian, where externally venting fans are standard.
They've faced down several angry groups of shareholders that demonstrate you are incorrect. Apple as a company has a few values that reduce potential profits, and refuse to violate them.

They should probably have more such values, but they definitely "care" about some things other than printing money.

I'm all on board the Cynicism Express, but you've gotten on the wrong track here. Apple can be a monster for many, many reasons while still operating based on principles of user privacy.
First of all, the "speed of light" is usually referring to c, the maximum speed that matter or energy can move at.

Second of all, electrical signals in cables move at speeds slightly lower than c, but very close to it, so the speed of light is still a very good approximation of the possible upper bound.

Third of all, intercontinental cables are normally fiber optic, for several reasons. That is, they directly transmit light through the cable.

Fourth, it should be noted that electricity is actually the same thing as light, since photons are the carrier particles of the electric field (when two charged particles interact, they are actually exchanging a photon). It's of course not visible light, but satellite communication also uses radio waves normally, which are not visible light either.

Finally, either through cables or through satellite communication, the distance/c minimum theoretical one-way latency is usually a significant under-estimation of the actually possible minimal latency, since the straight-line distance is significantly shorter than the actual cable/satellite-and-back distance that the signals must travel - the difference in straight-line VS physical path distance is typically much larger than the difference between the theoretical speed of light and the actual speed of the electrical signal propagation.
> In case there's a major accident, the driver at presumed fault will have their license temporarily revoked right away.

> Of course the driver is innocent until proven/found[1] guilty.

those two statements read as incompatible to me, possibly that's where the confusion in this thread is coming from. having your license revoked is itself a serious penalty in the US.
> As I recall, the thread was filled with jokes, memes, and other disturbing comments made by the members of this "community" which seemed to support the shooter's actions in spirit, albeit perhaps only in jest.

i recall one new account that signed up that was unequivocally pro-terrorist which also called for a "10x worse" shooting to happen in the UK and it was immediately flagged down as a fedpost by other users, so i have my reservations about sentiment of the forum being pro-shooter.

the same account would become active 3 years later as one of the bomb threats earlier last week, just for reference.
That’s irrelevant as it’s not a goal of the project
I agree but not for the "otherwise" reasoning

I think it speaks to the complexity of the brain almost like every combination of numbers exists in pi
Right, and all digital computers are Turing Machines. See also Stephen Wolfram's Principle of Computational Equivalence[1].

There can be, and are theories that no one human brain can ever fully understand (like Quantum Mechanics) and yet we have developed them... no one person did, but they emerged from the combined work and brain power of many people and the tools they used, be those pure mathematics or (nowadays) Google, AI, computer proof assistants. That's why even Richard Feynman said no one ever really understands QM, one just kind of gets used to the way the math gives the right answers[2].

A single human brain could never have developed QM, but combine a large number of them and the right tools, and I don't see any reason why there should be "hard limits to knowledge" any more than there's a limit to what a turing machine can compute given enough time (and a long enough tape).

Ignorance isn't a real option.

If the truth is knowable, someone will find it eventually.

The best you can do is opt yourself into ignorance. You can't opt everyone around you into the same ignorance. And by opting yourself into ignorance, you potentially create a competitive advantage for those who don't have the same hangups for facing ugly truths as you do.
Sorry, but I disagree. Good critics can put into words your feelings about certain art works, that maybe oneself can only awkwardly describe as “good”; they can enhance your enjoyment by bringing to your eyes something that you missed; and of course perform a curation labor.

While I don’t think you should blindly follow the critics, I think is lazy to just dismiss the job of a good critic.
> people have forgotten how to go to the Theatre

I went to see Top Gun a couple weeks ago, it was my first time in a theater in years. There were five different ads, the gist of all of which were, "Don't forget you're in public, so don't talk or pull out your phone or get up if you don't have to". One of them literally said, "We know it's been a while since you've watched a movie in public, and maybe you've forgotten how that works".

It was sort of condescending but at the same time I totally get the need.
Food and medical supplies, fuel for non-electric heating, etc. We'll help the Ukrainians survive. The people of Europe are strong and will endure.

Yes, Russia will be able to enact a lot of pain of Europe through natural gas, but the reality is that Europe is fully capable of transitioning away from Russia, while Russia has absolutely zero plan for their economy after losing their biggest export and biggest customer.

Honestly, the oligarchs, the Russian generals, the Russian people, when they realize that their main source of money is being replaced permanently it's not hard to imagine regime change leading to the end of the invasion and re-opening of supplies. Putin might not care, but his people do. This is how out of control dictators fail... they cut off their nose to spite their face.
It's pretty rare that patent law makes a big difference in slowing down a field of software innovation. The main examples I can think of are eFax suing fax machine software companies, and Blackboard suing education companies.

In particular the large tech companies simply ignore all existing patents, develop what they want, and defend themselves in court if need be. Google is never going to say "well someone else got a key patent, let's give up development in the AI space".
Profit-makers look for short-term profits, but the people in the system paying the profits are focused on driving lots and lots, having everything they possibly can as conveniently as possible. We have met the enemy and they is us.

It's just a wallet with a bubble on the outside shell that holds the air-tag in it ... doesn't stick out too far and fits fine in my pocket
Doesn’t the AirTag start making beeping sounds to alert someone they’re being tracked because Apple doesn’t want it to be used by stalkers? Even if a third-party makes a tag which is silent, would the thief’s iPhone notify them there’s an unknown tracker moving with them? It would defeat the whole point of using them on bikes, etc to catch thieves and recover stolen goods.
> They don't actually care about user privacy, but rather want exclusive rights to all of your data so that they can sell it for a markup

So Google was evil from the start, back when they were just selling ads based on your search terms and not yet spying on your entire life online and offline?
It is heavily unlikely that there is exactly one route to intelligence: to take a card from biology, look at octopuses versus humans. Since only relatively specific architectures can be patented, I expect that one would have no issue circumventing any patent that could claimed.
> I would never trust a corporation to put me above shareholder value.

Normally I'd agree with you, but I think Steve Jobs has a long history of not giving a shit about what shareholders say because he was more concerned with delivering the perfect product to customers, so I'd like to think that Tim Cook has also carried this torch too.

Yes they are a for-profit company, I still get that... But everyone has been shouting "Just wait, Apple will become just like Google once they realize how juicy that data is to their bottom line!!" for literally decades, yet... Nothing.
I wanted to disagree with you and say that is simply not a hereditary monarchy, but after a moment I think you are right.

Monarchy connotes the existence of some sort of elite class and even in cases the monarch was elected it was always from the aristocracy, founding families, or royal family.

The idea that a leader chosen randomly from the general population is a monarch feels like it would muddy the meaning of monarchy to the point of uselessness.

This is likely because you don't understand what a bank is, or that you don't understand what bitcoin is, or a combination.

EDI is a standardized data format with some blessed transport protocols that ensure disparate systems can communicate without needing custom integrations.

I've never heard someone try to make the case that it's an API per-say. More like a data format, such as JSON, with prescribed elements, etc. What the other end-system does with that data is up to them... and not all data is intended for pure automated programatic consumption (ie. invoices, etc).

The main issue with EDI is your industry either has embraced EDI or it hasn't... making it really difficult to use EDI if only a small subset of your manufacturers/vendors also support EDI. Typically organizations these days will support a REST API instead of EDI, which obviously requires quite a lot of custom integration work (even if using generation tools like swagger/openapi).
Then why do they pretend to ban a specific art type?

I could have generated variations of a human created digital piece in less time than these AI (currently) since the creation of this platform but they didn't seem to feel threatened by this up until now... so there is clearly an other problem.
I downloaded the report referenced in the article, and it is really bad in quality. Among other complaints, it never defines paycheck-to-paycheck. It does have this nugget:

> Job loss and income-related disruptions are the most common fi nancially stressful situa-tion, for instance, with 16% of respondents experiencing this in the last three years . Among paycheck-to-paycheck consumers with issues paying their bills, 30% experienced a job loss and income-related disruption in the last three years compared to 17% of paycheck-to-paycheck consumers without diff i culties and 10% of those not living paycheck to paycheck . Also 26% of paycheck-to-paycheck consumers with issues paying their bills and 15% of paycheck-to- paycheck consumers without diff i culties faced an illness or disability in the household in the past three years . One can conclude that these life-altering events have forced consumers to live paycheck to paycheck .

There is a population of paycheck to paycheck people who have lost income, but do not have issues paying their bills.

Add to that interactivity with Twitch stream viewers who can visit and order and even pay with tangible money, adding another twist and a layer of appeal to viewers and especially streamers. That fundamentally changes the game IMO, turning a game to play with friends into a game to stream and participate in.
While it's true that gas stoves are a significant source of kitchen fumes, they are not the only source, just the act of cooking food produces fumes. As an example, when searing meats, significant amounts of fumes are released, as is also the case when bringing anything beyond the boiling point, steam is given off, and steam can contain other particulates. Just using an electric stove (which I use currently in my rental) alone does not solve the issue, and is not even that large of a reduction. Most of the fumes from cooking are from the act of cooking, not from the heat source.
Building an Efficient Marketing Machine
Carmack did leave gaming and is now working on AI and VR. George Romero is a filmmaker so I think you are thinking of John Romero, who was never a stunningly good programmer but instead was focused on game design and level design. Jonathon Blow made two games, neither of which are known for particularly impressive engines, and is now spending most of his time developing a language and compiler.

Odd examples to choose.
When you want to make legal arguments, you do it when you have good facts, and this is not that time.

The facts about Tornado cash are terrible: pretty much everyone using it is either doing something provably illegal or trying to avoid being found, you have to go out of your way to use it (and pay an extra fee), and it's been part of a large number of bad news stories about crypto theft. A minimum of 10% of its throughput is provably due to frauds and thefts, and probably a lot more. It is not an exaggeration to say that many people's life savings have been funneled through Tornado cash into the wallets of criminals. In comparison, numbered Swiss bank accounts likely had more legitimate use than Tornado cash.

In comparison, the facts about Monero, Zcash, and the Wasabi BTC wallet (another mixer, but attached to a wallet) are a lot better. Privacy is free and/or the default option with those services, and they are a little more like cash: lots of victimless crimes (darknet sales, etc.), some use by ransomware attacks, but also a lot of legitimate use.

This lawsuit has a nonzero chance of throwing out the baby (privacy on blockchains) with the bathwater (tornado cash).
This book came highly recommended by several people. I am only about 20% through it, but so far I have found it very underwhelming and full of unsupported claims.

The author keeps insisting that the "end is coming", but the only arguments given in support of this are the demographic collapse and the US withdraw from the world Order leading to de-globalization.

The demographic collapse is real, however it has been known for decades and many countries are taking real steps to mitigate it in the form of strong government support for raising children (netherlands for example) or looser restrictions to immigration. There is also no mention in this book that better standards of living and the shift away from manual labor are enabling many people to continue to be productive well into their retirement years.

The argument for the US withdraw from the world Order is even more puzzling as it flies in the face of all the events of 2022 which has seen the US reinforce its alliances and increase its participation in the world stage.
In my view, the argument is a reaction to the Trump presidency, but I believe the Trump presidency is an aberration and not a trend for the future of US foreign policy.
The US will always promote peace and world order, because ultimately peace is far more profitable than war.

Just my impressions so far. I'll keep reading it in the hope that it gets better.
They already have. Most new malls (at least in my area) are a sort of fake downtown with retail on the first level and apartments above. They are more restaurant heavy and have lawns and such for events.
They are not using Qt in Serenity, only on Linux in order to hook up painting and events.

Also, they are making a new programming language (Jakt) to replace a lot of the C++
> First, you're assuming that users have favorite websites, and that those sites wouldn't work.

Both are true almost in my case. Browsers based on older Firefox versions such as Palemoon and Seamonkey don't work with GitLab and Github - which are not my "favorite" websites but rather, are hard to avoid.

> I don't think many users would even notice if their browser stopped supporting things that browser developers consider edge cases that eat up dev time

That's not the issue. The issue is that some websites use the shiny new features - probably through some new shiny framework - that older browsers don't support.

And this is a loser's game for browsers done from scratch, because by the time they implement one missing features, two others have been standardized. That will probably kill Firefox too.
Have you tried A2 or Raw milk? I’m sensitive and those changed things. I like A2 since I can get it at Target, and I have no problems with Raw milk. Consuming those before say cheese or ice cream or pizza helps massively.
As a non-artist whose compensation is, so far, unaffected by ML-generated images,
I'm more interested in the effects the technology has on people.

Over the past 150 years it became possible to compute cube roots in milliseconds, instead of minutes. Slide rules became obsolete, and the things we learn to do do arithmetic changed.

Over the past 20 years, the way we look up arbitrary facts changed. We learned to construct Web search engine queries and we learned to evaluate the quality of results. Other library skills are still relevant, but certain kinds of rote memorization become obsolete.

Now people are rapidly learning a new "prompt language" which uses English words but combines them in a way which is for now something like computer programming (given an input string, compile it to an output image). Will "prompt languages" for text / image / video generation systems turn into a full-fledged, non-English language that you can learn?

What will be the social effects of people learning and using this language to communicate?
There is a map (Global Solar Potential) which suggests that much of China and the Philippines has the 'potential' of the UK (ie negligible).

What fascinates me is how this is measured. I mean Jakarta gets as much sunlight falling on it as anything else pretty much on the equator.

Has anyone read the book and might be able to explain - I am guessing something like jungle vegetation blocks sunlight down at ground level, or lots of cloud cover.

But interested.
my timeline is exactly like yours and i only got up to speed because of my manager/mentor. if he left me to my own devices i would do very little even today. manager's need to change their approach, simple as. if they can't adapt than it really just hurts them to have under-performers underneath them.
Presumably, they'd fix it up so it's not a dying building -- and it wouldn't symbolize the cons of modern life anymore. It would symbolize building a future in more ways than one.
> Are you blaming Americans for China's environmental destruction because we buy their products? Americans have created systems that protect the environment that China could take advantage of

Some of the systems may make products expensive, and the whole point of offshoring production to China (from the US and other places), so to make them inexpensively. Are consumers willing to start paying the externalities of climate change in their products (regardless of where they are produced)?

And as Kurzgesagt points out in "Who Is Responsible For Climate Change? – Who Needs To Fix It?", while China as a whole releases the most, per capita each citizen is relatively low(er) emissions (especially compared to the US). Further, the country with highest cumulatively/historically released carbon to date—which has led us to the climate change problem in the first place—is the US:

I agree.

A dramatic example, but I imagine a solid state battery (and the following generations) will be harder to design if half of the research team has to care for their senile mothers.

That's even worse because it implies that the Vietnamese problem mattered so little, that they were backdrop details.
How would you power it? Do batteries that thin exist?
It would also be the Principal Engineer job title at various companies
And yet some of the audience ignored all that entirely.
You're not going to fit a batter of any useful size, along with enough protection for said batter inside a .76mm thick device today. A .4mm liPo (which I'm not sure I'd want bending 100x a day in my back pocket) has maybe 30Mah of capacity - that's just over 10% of a cr2032 (what AirTags use). 1 month battery life is not what I'd consider useful in such a device.

Just because you can get a chip that fits in there, does't mean you can build a product...
It's problematic because it presumes people using a credit card are doing so because they have to, when there are other valid reasons.

E.g. I often use credit cards for purchases I have cash for (and them pay them off), because there are dramatically better protections for credit card purchases than debit card purchases. I also get benefits like cash back or miles which I do not get on my debit card.

Using a credit card != couldn't pay with cash.
Well it probably was, among other things. But we're censoring a network here, not just a tool. Nobody is making the cryptography behind Tornado illegal.
