I don't believe they're the same thing. I can connect to the 4G data networks with the Banana, but not make calls, and I'm not sure as to the details of why - going deep into cell network reverse engineering wasn't my goal here, I wanted to experiment with the state of non-iOS, non-Android cell phones in post-2020. I got a lot of data, but... well, I'm back to iOS, so I couldn't make it work.

There are KaiOS devices that support VoLTE and work on US carriers, but the Banana doesn't seem to be one of them. In addition to its many other pain points. Those keys suck to hit...
Given all this swirling cultural context, doesn’t it seem odd that the icon for the Messages app is still green?
So in the end, we end up with the same system of regulation, only enforced in code.
>Mocking your friends' resolution and frame rate is extremely fun.

I know you're probably joking, but I see this sentiment spoken seriously over on PCMR, and it's so cringe. Graphics quality between PC and console are so close now that the only people who care spend all their time pixel peeping at 4x zoom.
The US Justice Department could have done diddly squat to affect the outcome of the case to date.

If you actually read the questions presented in the petition for writ of certiorari (https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22/22-293/238740/2022...), it's more anodyne:

> The questions presented are:

> 1. Whether an officer is entitled to qualified immunity for arresting an individual based solely on speech parodying the government, so long as no case
has previously held the particular speech is protected.

> 2. Whether the Court should reconsider the doctrine of qualified immunity.

So, yay, it's basically a qualified immunity case, where the infringement in question is an unhappy local government office patently violating someone's First Amendment rights. (Sadly, not the first or last time this is going to happen.)
We couldn't intercept ʻOumuamua and it wasn't travelling at a high fraction of light speed.

Actually capturing an object with that much velocity would require a high level of sophistication, very fast reactions, and a big energy budget.
The second point is more concerning.

A related point is that it only works if the user already has a wallet installed that is listening on "openid:". "mailto:" and "tel:" work on a phone since there is an email and phone app on all phones by default.

This is a classic chicken and egg problem. Why would a developer use "openid:" if there are few, if any users, and why would a user install a wallet for "openid:" if there are no apps.

Thanks for your encouragement! ... would love any other feedback you have.

We believe Hellō is SSI (Self Sovereign Identity) -- decentralized approaches are one way to approach -- a distributed centralized approach like Hellō is another way that is more pragmatic.
Isn’t that just the definition of network effect? Meta is clearly betting that at a certain critical mass not owning a VR headset in a professional environment will be like not owning a webcam.
This reminded me of the episode of Silicon Valley where Gilfoye and Dinesh build chat bots to take their place for all the boring work chats. Then, the bots end up chatting with each other causing a feedback loop that overloads the building's power.

I find the idea of two bots having a conversation on Zoom while both people are doing actual work hilarious.
When did "planning" become synonymous with doing something "quietly," as though it's somehow underhanded, deceptive, or nefarious? Just because Apple didn't respond to Digiday's stupid request for comment doesn't mean they're up to no good. Companies very rarely make their roadmaps public or hold press conferences for initiatives they're working on.
I think much of it really comes down to how schools treat boys.

They prey on people with delusions of grandeur who need the identity of "entrepreneur", since "unemployed since you quit your first job out of college after two years" doesn't have quite the same prestige. "The others, you see, they just don't get it. This is about scale, Zero to One! I'm my own boss!" It's really sad to watch.
> [it] is just as applicable to situations where positive traits are assigned to men as it is when positive traits are assigned to women

Can you point out some examples of such usage for men? Any paper I've found so far defines it specifically in terms of women.
> It's a language model; why would we expect it do math or try to somehow shoehorn math into the model?

Language models can do math, or anyway arithmetic. That's because language models are trained to predict the next token in a sequence and an arithmetic operation can be represented as a sequence of tokens.

For example, see Figure 3.10 on page 22, here:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.14165

The only problem is that language models are crap at arithmetic because they can only predict the next token in a sequence. That's enough to guess at the answer of an arithmetic problem some of the time but not enough to solve any arithmetic problem all of the time.

More generally, the answer to your question is in the same Figure 3.10 I've referenced above. OpenAI (and others) have claimed that their large language models can do arithmetic. So then people tested the claim and found it to be a bag of old cobblers.

Hence the article above. Nobody's trying to "shoehorn" anything anywhere. It's just something that language models can do, albeit badly.
> Lack of focus is a killer for productivity.

You're implying that the "lack of focus" is in the people attending the meeting not paying attention. The real place focus is lacking is in the things the meeting, which is not engaging to its attendees, is taking away from. Good meetings, whether remote or in person, have everyone engaged because the content is immediately relevant and pressing to all attendees. Personally I've found that short, small, highly focused meeting are easier to have than in person.

In an online environment it's not too bad if you invite more people than really need to be at the meeting precisely because if you need to be there "just in case", you can keep the tab open while you work on other stuff.

The equivalent of this in-person is just more painful, not more productive. It's the meeting where you consciously struggle to pay attention to something that doesn't really concern you because it would be rude to just walk out.
The contrast between your perception of the EU and their actual positions is pretty entertaining to me:

Unequal outcomes will produce unequal future opportunities. This fact undermines any of premise from that start. And compelled equalization will commence just the same.

So this is a distinction without much of a difference. Certainly rule of law and various good faith attempts to provide opportunity are understandable. But when the outcomes simply are not equal along various group identity lines or this or that interest group achieves less wealth and power than another, no one is going to give up that game and say "OK, fair play, we lost the outcome."

No, pursuit of human self interest does not ever stop. So there's no endgame to any of this.

Anecdotally... since that's all we have right now anyhow... my kids grew up in a similar situation, where I paid money for things and refused to pay money for ad-laden content, and they're almost oblivious to the ads. So far the only ads that have resulted in me being asked for things are things we would have ended up with anyhow. E.g., they both played and enjoyed Mario vs. Rabbids on the Switch, and they ended up seeing an ad for it and were interested. But I already knew about it and it was going to end up purchased anyhow. (Though I've told them I am likely to wait for it to go on sale.) I have not been bombarded with a laundry list of requests when they go to the grandparents (where they end up watching hours of TV, alas) or something.

(Note I set the bar at "I was asked for something." I'm not claiming they're 100% mathematically immune to ads, anymore than I or anyone else is. Just that it wasn't like a forest fire charging through rich ground for the first time.)

I think it's mainly because there are basically only two individuals who own a space company and have the money to do a project like this. And Bezos has not been very successful at getting things done, space-wise.
That does seem like Trump’s position - wrongdoing at the FBI means they shouldn’t investigate politicians like him.

At the time the green/blue distinction appeared in Messages, it was widely reported that the green color for SMS messages represented the fact that most cellular plans in the US at the time charged a fee for each SMS message sent, or had a higher monthly rate for "unlimited" texts. It would seem that very few people remember the days before "unlimited data/text/minutes".

(US currency is typically associated with the color green in a way that probably doesn't apply elsewhere in the world. Also, the actual color of green on US paper currency is quite different from the green bubbles... but I digress.)
They also flash "Android Sucks" in large Arial letters on the screen for 30ms once every 5 seconds when you have green bubbles.

Subliminal messaging work better than poor contrast.
The attack isn't unknown, neither you nor your manager were born yesterday, you should have some semblance of how your work meets/fails to meet the expectations for your role.

Writing also has a magical power, where people believe it more than spoken words. The reason it has this magical power is because it commits you to a particular story, as opposed to one that changes with the winds.

Also, just to clarify - are you making your claims from experience (I am, for promotion), or based on what you think takes place in perf/promotion meetings?
The in person experience shows “still too much”, which is nothing like in the video, and very usable. These are separate things.

How did it end? Was she worth an iPhone?
I think this is ahistorical. Progressives were pretty clear that they believed American policing was fundamentally, irredeemably, and universally racist--that was the whole crux of the BLM movement, and if you believe that, then you aren't going to content yourself with mere reform (if you think police are racist, then you probably aren't going to advocate for "requiring more training for dealing with mentally ill citizens" or similar reforms). Moreover, when moderate Democrats (fearing for the upcoming election cycle) tried to say "what progressives really mean is 'reform'", progressives responded with "no, we really mean defund/abolish".

I mean, Apple has put Lidar into a decent percentage of iPhones over the past few years. Wifi and cellular signals can be used in a similar way to generate low-resolution maps of the world around your phone. And there's of course cameras on the front and back.

All running on closed source Apple software, with no physical on/off switch for those data collection pathways... or even the phone itself, which never fully shuts down. So maybe Tim Cook really is Big Brother.
That's an interesting thought. However it's not cognitive limits that make humans bad at math, it's just a "hardware" issue: a human with a piece of paper is much better at math.
Which is a real shame. AI-powered restoration of poor-quality audio would be highly useful.
Do pacemakers not use ECC?

Not saying that makes 'em cosmic ray proof, but my understanding is it can harden you by an order of magnitude or more (and help guard against glitches from other sources).

If I was designing something this life-crucial from silicon up, every single bit of memory (including registers) would have extra bits for this, and checks would occur everywhere it's moved or used (even over buses inside IC's, regardless of whether they shift data, addresses, control logic, etc). My code would go to great lengths to verify it hasn't been corrupted. The culture of redundancy might be akin to that seen in the Space Shuttle control systems.

Silicon is so damn cheap nowadays it shouldn't be the constraint. That it's hard to source components of such pedigree is disheartening. Basic ECC should be an industry norm for all but the lowest-end chips, and as feature sizes shrink further I hope sound engineering will become a bigger product differentiator.
(Look at how HDD's have been getting more bits of ECC as platters become denser).

If more die for our buck doesn't equal less die for ourselves then we're doing something wrong.

Also, here's an interesting paper about radiation effects on pacemakers (from the perspective of cancer treatment) that I came across when searching whether radiation-hardening in this field is a thing:

I wonder what people are doing with Forth professionally these days. I see a lot of hobbyist projects such as porting Forth to a board which is definitely very fun and educational, but not sure what professional Forth looks like. Back in the day people used Forth for programming microprocessors. Are they still doing this?
It’s a free service with no advertising and people don’t like that it asked them for money a few weeks out of the year.

If they listen to the radio NPR pledge drives must irritate them to the point of flames coming out their ears.

Or if they read free newspapers like the guardian online they must loath it as much as Wikipedia, or more because it doesn’t just do ask a few weeks out of the year.

No one is forced to use Wikipedia. If Being occasionally asked to chip in is too much to bear then don’t use it.

I’ll confess I’m not totally enthused by the way they frame it, but I’ve used it for decades so I have donated one time. I mean it’s free and useful and I’d feel cheap if I use something for decades and never chip in

No, Irish people aren’t and will never be WASPs, because you have to be anglo-Saxon to be White Anglo-Saxon, Protestant.

Beyond that: being white and being accepted in America having little to do with each other. In every legal instance of discrimination on the basis of race (segregation, Jim Crow, etc), Irish people fell in the white category. Despite harsh miscegenation laws, Irish people could “intermarry” other white people without any issue - because it wasn’t intermarrying - they were all considered white.

This is the problem with the nonsense definition of white as “accepted in America and receiving zero discrimination”. Was JFK not white either because he was Catholic and Catholics dealt with discrimination through US history? Of course not.

Irish people have worse outcomes today vs the average for whites across incomes, wealth, interview rates, and so on. Are they still not white today?

White has a very simple meaning, like black or Asian does: it’s determined by your lineage and how you are perceived by other and yourself, with a few other factors. It’s complicated in some cases, but it has nothing to do with your level of discrimination. Do you think white people can’t receive discrimination by definition? If one is discriminated against, are they no longer white?

And you mentioned starving in the Irish Potato Famine. That was a failure of government policy and farmers breeding the same strain. The prevailing British policy was that you only received welfare benefits if you didn’t own land, and so many Irish farmers and others who needed it weren’t willing to give up their land for it. That has nothing to do with race
I found it especially funny that it still uses that icon for Linux machines with Samba shares.
I understand _why_ people post things like this. In my experience very few people follow through with the projects because accountability and internet points are not a very strong force.

Love the progress in brain imaging. Similar to fMRI, this seems to be focused on identifying blood flow to different areas which seems useful for a lot of diagnostic/medical purposes. I’m personally doubtful that the use cases at the end of the article like brain-computer interfaces are well-suited to the technology though, since it can’t measure neural activity as directly as electrodes.

One thing it doesn’t discuss is the latency of the observed signals relative to brain activity — in MRI there is a 5-6 second delay due to the time it takes for brain activity to translate into blood flow and oxygen signals, whereas electrical activity is in real time.
your statement has way too many relative references, you speak of the latter, and the former, and the alliances between the opposition of the former against the alleged plans of the latter in a scenario where one invades a soon to be allied 3rd party

my point being is that in trying to sound serious and formal you've imposed on your reader an extra layer of unacking your point which you also had to needlessly pack so you'd sound like I already said (see: I did it again, put in a reference instead of repeating cuz it makes me sound more serious and 'deep')
Ask HN: Does Dvorak keyboard offer anything to the phone typist?
A native Dvorak keyboard has finally become available on iOS. Does it offer any of its supposed ease-of-use advantages when used in the one/two finger/thumb patterns that we usually use on our phones?

I've always thought it would be cool to learn Dvorak, but was too lazy to print new stickers for my keys on my normal full keyboard. I've turned Dvorak on on my iPhone and I appreciate that all of the vowels are on the center line. With time, I could see how I'd learn this. But I'm not sure if the "reduced reach/movement" translates from full handed keyboarding to just thumb keyboarding.
I agree with you and feel that younger employees lose sight of this more easily as their entire world revolves around their employment and those they work with.

Lack of a 'life' outside of work makes one myopic to the cold nature of employment and changes the dynamic so losing a job is an enormous emotional hit.

Start a family, go to church, cultivate friendships outside of your work. Your life will be better off for it and it will help keep this employee/employer relationship in its proper focus.

Firstly, you asked how they strayed far from their goal of being a "neutral historian of world events", at least in idealistic terms. Those grants are specifically funding activism which many would argue is not neutral, so your question has been answered.

Secondly, Exxon is not a charitable organization so you're drawing a false equivalency. Wikimedia is asking for donations with ads that suggest donating is about keeping Wikipedia running. Most people donating then arguably think they're keeping Wikipedia running and/or expanding its usefulness, such as with translations. I think most people would be quite surprised to see some of that money going to activist DEI initiatives that many would consider to be far from the goal of increasing Wikipedia's utility.
...which suggests that the notion that some designer at Apple subtly decreased the contrast on green bubbles to make them look "gross" is ridiculous -- if they really wanted to make SMS messages look bad, they could be much less subtle about it...

Using natural gas introduces carbon. After the DRI stage, further treatments would be required to remove the carbon as it oxidizes. With less carbon there should be more consistent oxidizing of the iron, especially since it looks like carbon monoxide(from the natural gas) is not required which would introduce unwanted oxygen. I wish there were more details as well.

The Disintegration Loops is lovely and I found it very thought-provoking. The concept of hearing the medium being destroyed, in this sort of breathing / heartbeat / day and night cycle, is a very powerful way to think about mortality.

One of the tracks still sounds like you're hearing someone drowning over the course of 17 minutes and it's terrifying. It's the first track here, though I believe they are named / ordered incorrectly. Just comparing 2 minutes in vs 15 minutes.. it still creeps me out.

You just don't. Their adoption of Whatsapp(at least in Spain), seems to have been driven by a period in time when WhatsApp was coming up that the plans sold by cell service providers were near unlimited data, but only X amount of calls/texts allowed to be sent per month.

In the USA we had opposite plans during this time. Unlimited talk/text, but strict data caps.
