I mean my Apple Watch 3 is spot-on compared to the Fenix 5 which could be off by double-digit percentages. I found the Fenix 5 was pretty accurate on straight paths. But, yeah, tree cover, switchbacking up hills, etc. really threw it off.

I totally get all the arguments in favor of the Fenix 7 or related. It's really a question IMO of whether you want a mostly dedicated watch for relatively hardcore outdoor activities or if you want an Apple Watch and its ecosystem to do routine day-to-day smartwatch things while also doing a lot of outdoor activities better than prior Apple Watches though probably not overall as well as a dedicated device.

I was sort of on the fence prior to the latest announcement but, for me, the Ultra seems the pretty clear choice.
Many of my friends who regularly made trips to Europe pre-pandemic have been lured into making their first trips since 2019 due to the strength of the dollar against the Euro. Probably will be many similarly attracted to the UK by the weak Pound. Guess that's good news for the travel industry even if so much else is going wrong.

Sure there is: Tiling window managers. Available for every desktop OS in some form or another. I assume people who are power users enough to have large, multiple monitors can help themselves.
I am thinking instead of low price free would be great. They can stick on some extra ads on stuff they would be selling.
It's processed food! Thinking it's sugar, fat, or some other macro/micronutrient is reductionist "nutritionism".

Food processing and industrial cooking is the culprit. It took me about 20 years to understand this.

Michael Pollan wrote lucidly about it starting ~15 years ago, and he wrote about the marketing patterns that the food industry uses (to this day) to cast blame.

And this is being made rigorous, e.g. by the NIH. Great article with history and science: How ultra-processed food took over your shopping basket (includes recent Brazilian public health policy, and the NIH study)

https://www.theguardian.com/food/2020/feb/13/how-ultra-proce...

You can eat ANYTHING except processed food: traditional Asian, Italian, Mexican, Indian, etc. with the ingredients and recipes they used. Really! The problem is that this is quite difficult to get in many areas, because so much food is processed and enhanced to sell.

For a rough picture, processed food was probably 5% of the American diet in 1940, and when I grew up in the 80's and 90's it was maybe 50%. But now it's more like 80%.

> The original purpose of meditation is to become a monk? That's a bizarre hot take; how did you come to that conclusion?

https://vividness.live/theravada-reinvents-meditation

It was invented to disconnect you from your desires and sense pleasures - not just in a therapy way but so you won't accidentally enjoy food or sex or any of those non-monk things.

Milder forms and "mindfulness" are modern inventions and it's actually rather surprising they turned out to be beneficial.

If you just sit there and do vipassana cold for days it can easily make you depressed or in some people leads to psychotic breaks.
The same could be said about software. Broken from birth I guess. Music too. Movies?

The main difference with books is how easy they are to distribute. The other forms take up more space and are not as trivial to leave at an end point to be picked up. Music and movies also have big interested who might sue you. Software was easier to copy - you would rather have my .exe than my .zip of hacked up SaaS code that won't work next year.

To answer what the next framework would be like. I think it would be crappier than just selling the book, and support fewer people. It would be bad for the reader too. Often the act of paying for a book makes it more valuable - the emotional investment in it means you will finish it and make use of it.

Ahh, I'm so used to thinking of SM-2 IV as stone tablet-tier ancient history that it didn't even occur to me that there was a time when it was under development!

If you're talking low TRL dev shots where you dgaf about putting the real boom in since you're just measuring miss distance (presuming you're referring to the IVA's new steering/seeker/dorsals before uhh... 97 or whenever they shipped it?), that makes a great deal more sense.

I am still extremely skeptical that one could punch a missile that huge and that speedy through an airliner without it being blindingly obvious, but it certainly wouldn't have any standard frag bits flying around.

> what did they do in the rest of the 50 years?

There's a bit at the end about Coca Cola and candy companies continuing to manipulate research. I assume it's been a constant battle, not just a one-time $50k expenditure. But, it must have been worth the money for the sugar producers.

>Do journalists only look at review papers? ... Public discourse also completely ignored sugar, somehow.

It definitely did not ignore sugar. Artificial sweeteners have been a thing for a long time, for example. I'm sure there have been scientists and doctors screaming about this since the day the paper was published (as the article notes, there was already a ton of research speaking out against sugar). We knew sugar was bad, we just thought it was maybe a litttttle bit better than fat, which was exactly what the industry wanted.
> It's processed food!

This doesn't mean anything. It's a floating signifier.
No I'm saying anyone can register as whatever.

At no point did I say the entire history it has happened.

Are you saying it's impossible for someone to lie about their party affiliation?

Are you saying that worse hasn't been done by an an agency? (NSA spying, Project Ultra, IRS scandal, etc.)

I believe most people at the agencies have the best intentions, which is why you commonly get leaking, but I do believe there are some people who abuse their powers.

But I am also very very skeptical given the past actions of agencies.
No, they obviously use the modern definition based on cesium clocks, or some equivalent. In fact, they set up long–term interplanetary communication systems so that any civilization which had fallen and rediscovered radio could learn their language and units, so customer civilizations mostly used the same definition of a second even though their day/night cycle might be completely different.

Wow, finally someone that I find on a web forum also willing to utter the words "dollar shortage" during this time.

Big props to Jeff and Emil for their generous freely available teachings. I further recommend their paid subscription too. It's well worth it.

These times are easy to see coming if you had the right monetary lens on.
Honestly fuck Canadian tech companies. The pay is literally half or even a third of what we can earn in the states. The rise of remote work has been such an amazing development for Canadian software developer. Really there isn’t much point in living in a Canadian tech city like Vancouver or Toronto since it makes no sense to work for a Canadian company anymore. Even taking a remote job at any run of the mill non flashy firm in the states will pay more than anyone pays in Canada, so may as well just move out to Winnipeg or Halifax.
why don't you find people who are in a group that don't subscribe to this approach?
I don't know how you got that.

He's saying that a devaluation won't kill the country because the debt is denominated in Pounds.

That seems like a strange clarification. If he's predicting the Pound wouldn't decline - he'd say that.

Not say that if it does decline, it won't be a problem...

That implies it's a possibility. It just won't cause a crisis if it happens.
Somehow it strikes me as mean spirited to look forward benefiting from the troubles of a nation.

It is and will always be wrong to focus upon a singel ingrediens in food and blame it for health problems.

Just eat a balanced diet based upon non processed food and do so in moderation.
Then move around a bit

I had a teacher a long time ago who frequently told us to make sure we ate
Apples or Bananas or whatever it was, now while it was still healthy / good for you.

She had observed a lot of twists and turns in what science decided was healthy
or not over her lifetime.

All hype and fads that has laser focus on a single issue to avoid or pig out on are unhealthy.

I remember having co-workers who were dieting by eating big cubes of (Highly processed) cheese and packets of (highly processed) lunch meat.

Just 4 to 5 packages of plastic wrapped pseudo ham and whatever.

I dont care what it was called or who endorsed it but there is no way in
hell that was a healthy idea.
i’m ashamed to admit how much that error bothered me and how relieved i am to know there are others perturbed by such minutiae.
Yes, but that is going to take a long time for the systems to catch up to the point that a rural community has the tech in every last nook so as to not need cash. Maybe decades.

Some people will still want to deal in cash, so if the government doesn't provide it there will be some other kind of barter. Gift cards, those printed Bitcoin notes, foreign cash, gold or something else.
I mean, I know a bunch of rich people that have set up huge trusts for their children. They also have a significant power I don't have either, so what.

Obviously with royalty and nobility it is difficult to separate the personal from the public, but honestly I think the UK royal family probably does that separation better than most. And to be honest, you have lots of rich families in the US who are of the "born on third base and think they hit a home run" type. At least with the monarchy in the UK, they know that 100% of their position is due to pure hereditary luck, so at least they throw in some concept of "duty" to make the bargain palatable.
Here's an example (of complexity or difficulty, or .. whatever your preferred defs/vocab) that arose for me today (but on any day I do any Rust programming or reading I could find a similar example).

This is an answer on the forums to a fairly beginnery-looking question: https://users.rust-lang.org/t/what-does-borrow-mean/81794/3

In what language ecosystem other than Rust would that answer arise as an answer to a beginner's question? Haskell, or a research language perhaps. I can't make head or tail of the Rust Playground example there. In fact if I look through most of recent questions on the Rust forum, there's probably 1 in 10 where I even grok the question, let alone the answer. I haven't experienced this elsewhere. Rust has a culture of complexity, and its community is in a state of denial about it (for I think a fairly obvious reason). Furious denunciations ensue even if anyone dare suggest such a thing!
My hobby is to look for a physics theory of everything (ToE). I have virtually no chance at succeeding at this, but it's fun reading through random junk on ArXiV.

I noticed something similar: You can find papers by clearly crazy people that have nuggets of good ideas in them. Odd bits of mathematics they reference might be an interesting rabbithole to go down, even if it ultimately leads nowhere.

The whole thing reminds me of the passtime of the hyper-intelligent Minds in the Culture series. They play in Infinite Fun Space, which is vaguely like coming up with new rules of physics and "seeing what happens". The rules don't have to be realistic, just fun.

I've found that practising physicists seem allergic to any such notion, too quick to dismiss unorthodox approaches. So what if they're wrong? They're fun, and maybe not that wrong in some rare cases.
I have an Apple Watch 3. I will probably buy an Ultra. And I plan to continue using the Apple Watch 3 for a lot of routine wear indefinitely. Probably won't use a lot of apps beyond a watchface and random local walks though.

Not sure about dividing the force compressing the bushings into Fuseful and Fwasted. I may be misunderstanding, but it seems the Fwasted vector component just gets some mechanical advantage in compressing the bushing, and disadvantage on the restoring force.

But that actually balances out fine. Is the claim that some of the work in compressing the bushing is never given back in energy restoring the truck to neutral?
I started using PhotoPrism a couple months ago. My only gripe with it is that you can't drag-and-drop files directly into folders or any page. You have to manually go to the upload page, change/add the folder then use the file picker to choose the files. Other than that it does the job well and even has face scanning.

I disagree. What we need less of is endless caveats and hedges in writing that make it impenetrable for no added value. Leave it to the reader to exercise common sense. It's extremely obvious he didn't mean it as an absolute assertion.
The issue isn't group membership. It's what's being prioritized.

If you prioritize truth over group membership, you are more likely to see your own flaws, the flaws in others, and prevent yourself from making catastrophic errors in your inevitable ignorance.

If you prioritize group membership over truth, you are more likely to fall prey to lies that have only short term benefits for one or more members of the group and eventually lead to catastrophic errors.

The best groups are the groups of people who are legitimately pursuing the truth, even if they are temporarily ignorant, which again, is inevitable due to information constraints.

We've become so saturated with power dynamical thinking we've forgotten that it is possible to be motivated to try to see the world accurately so as to best cooperate with it regardless of power differentials.
Sure, none the less,

if you're looking for someone (any age, any gender, any etc.) for a long term position who will stick through the good, the bad, and the ugly that might occur during a five to ten year time frame

then you're looking for any signs and indications that people have some past experience of sticking through things, are willing to stick through things in the future, and have an understanding of how things can go sour and what steps can be taken to mediate.

There are many indications of the ability to make a long term commitment and survive a rocky path, not all of them traditional and conventional, with the least common factor being some time at the pump.
> - Per my knowledge US is the only country which stubbornly (and illogically) considers Sunday to be the first day of the week;

Even though I've only had it since Friday morning, I love the Ultra so far and see a lot of potential for it.

I think that there's a big enough market where the Garmin devices and the Apple Watch Ultra will both coexist and fill their own niches. I'm looking forward to what we see on the Ultra here in the future.

The Hebrew calendar kept changing as they moved and adapted the calendar designed by the ruler of the lands.

Hebrew words for the week came from Akkadian and sabbath itself can be traced back to the Babylonian loan word for fifteen..mistaken as seven. šabattu is the 15th day of the month, the time of the full moon Vs “sebūtu“ was the 7th day of the lunar quarter.

The Akkadians had no concept of ‘week’. They simply followed the moon. Starting with the new moon, first quarter, second quarter and third quarter. Their festivals were based on the 1, 7 etc and 15 day with the 15th day being observed as the bright full moon.

It must have been from the Babylonians that the Hebrews adopted the 7 day week because they had seen them celebrate the 7th day, “sebūtu“. Altho they probably chose the word for the 15th day/full moon of Babylonian šabattu as it’s closer to Hebrew ‘sabbot’ and their word for ‘rest’. Post exile Hebrews took this to create the Hebrew calender and created sabbot as the 7th day of rest.

The Babylonians celebrated 1, 7, 21 and 28th day after new moon as the beginning of each quarter. Hebrews simply took each quarter to be a slice of time instead of differentiating between the four quarters between two new moons.

My recollections from before 2016 re sugar were
1. Calories, so people wanted artificial sweetener to lose weight
2. Diabetes
3. Artificial sweeteners may cause cancer

But, like cholesterol coating arteries, these studies I _think_ suggest that sugar is bad beyond the weight gain issue. Like even if you don't gain weight, just replacing other carbs with sugar may have disproportionate health risks. At least, that's my reading.
