So, I own some Makita equipment. There's a big difference in what Makita is doing and what Apple is doing. Makita sells a baseline product with no battery for the reasons you mentioned at $2500, they sell a bundle with two 5 Ah batteries and a charger for an extra $100, and you can buy batteries and a charger separately for significantly more: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Makita-18V-LXT-Lithium-Ion-High-... (This is one battery with less amp hours)

Apple lets you buy the phone and charger separately; there is no bundle.

Thank you for writing 'Dignity.' I've read it, shared it, given it away.

You gave a tip during a panel in Chapel Hill about learning from others by switching where to get your morning coffee, e.g. from Starbucks to McDonalds, or more local places. I've added it to my list of tactics and am richer for it.

My inbox is flooded with cold marketing automations. What can I do?
I'm sure this campaign automation was useful in the early days, but now everyone is getting lost in their own noise. I've asked to be removed from ZoomInfo but saw no meaningful improvement. How do I get around this lazy sales tactic? What can I do to fight back?
How does this even get enforced? Does Shein have any assets in the US? Seems like it's a totally chinese/singapore based company that just mails stuff to other countries.
The US Air Force, for one, is responsible for tracking everything it sees. That generally means computing TLAs for each object. Whether they release this info, I don't know.

While it's true that firing or laying off people should be taken very seriously, there is a limit to that. Sometimes the real choice is between losing 10% of your workforce now vs. losing everything in a year or two. Not only direct employees but suppliers, partners, even customers who have built their own business on something they can no longer support or maintain. It's a trolley problem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_problem

While debates about the trolley problem will likely go on forever, the idea of sacrificing a few for the sake of the many is eminently defensible. Companies should do more to avoid this scenario, governments should (a bit more arguably) do what they can to blunt its effects, everyone should treat it with more solemnity, but it can and will and should happen sometimes.
Generally, heritability refers to genetics, not upbringing. Specifically: "amount of phenotypic (observable) variation in a population that is attributable to individual genetic differences"

It wouldn't make much sense to report things that were related to upbringing together with genotype, as those are specifically the two things you want to decompose.

I'd like to add a piece to this as well.

People who wield power over IC's but themselves have never been an IC are more willing to make decisions that harm others, but not themselves.

And this is the crux of the issue with the security industry. Too many of their decisions are made in a vacuum and everyone else has to deal with it.
Shameless plug of my mvSQLite [1] project here! It's basically another distributed SQLite (that is API-compatible with libsqlite3), but with support for everything expected from a proper distributed database: synchronous replication, strictly serializable transactions, + scalable reads and writes w/ multiple concurrent writers.

Then what is the required passband attenuation at 220 MHz away from the centre frequency as per the spec? What altimeters are not meeting this spec?

I find it weird that people are claiming that the altimeters are defective here. That would be a big deal if true.

Interestingly, I work in DoD IT where everyone is required to have certifications from ISC2, ISACA, CompTIA, etc. so we all get taught and tested on knowledge of this and many other controls, but I haven't actually heard of it formalized or enforced. In practice, we just rely on ad hoc high turnover as people change jobs every year or two, or get pulled away into unrelated projects, or sent away for exercises and deployments.

It was amazing actually. Intel's marketing was so spectacular. Blue man group. Bunny suit commercials. Pentium, what a name. Intel Inside, those two words start an uninitiated jingle in my head.

This is not looking through it with rose tinted glasses and nostalgia. It was objectively better, fun, straightforward and iconic. Not a single person knows what Intel's (or AMD, nVidia, Apple, etc.)'s advertisements after 2000's. Do you remember the last Apple ad? No. It is all generic, designer bullshit.

All of it has gone to toilet. Marketing people have lost it across the board.

Perhaps that was because the article clearly labeled which one was the original woman's voice and which one was modulated to sound like a man? There's an easy way to test this: gave the interviewer guess the candidate's gender and see if they can guess consistently correct.

"Why would an employee in the tech sector prefer an employer-managed pension?"

They might not, but that position presumes that the person has only experienced the 'upside' of the industry. Why would ANY employee in ANY industry prefer it in boom times? They wouldn't. But that in and of itself is very short-term opportunistic thinking. It may still not overall be the position one wants to take, but that also presumes that there is only a binary decision to be assessed, and policy/regulation is rarely lacking in granularity.

Pensions carry their own benefits and detriments. As someone whose been in tech for 25 years, I'm largely ambivalent at this stage, but I suspect many aren't, and are asking more pointed questions to themselves.
Starlink follows the common solution of having them deorbit and burn up in the atmosphere at EOL. Competitors likely will do the same.

pro-tip: Traveling light/backpacking is far simpler in a fasted state.

Now whenever I go on a multi-day trip I'll deliberately pack on a few extra pounds before departing while in keto mode. From there it's a painless transition to simply not eating, and after 48hrs it feels like a potentially infinite modus operandi. No need for pooping in random foreign places and less demand for bathing daily, no need to carry bulky/heavy food... These problems are effectively reduced to just drinking water and finding places to pee.

I believe every person who is allowed to work in a quantum field (heh) should have been able to run at least a trivial quantum experiment.

That is, Scott Aaronson should go sit in some collaborator's lab and set up all the apparatus and analyze all the data, before he gets to spew about "quantum" to the general public. This should also apply to any theoretical physicist- I would love to see String Theorists in a lab setting up a michaelson morley experiment.
Yeah the USA seems to have problems when the entire internet seems to head nod at statements of its impending demise. On the internet, birthed and still largely dominated by firms, tech, and research based and US funded.

People in past decades said Japan was going to overrun the US. Didn’t happen. China and India are themselves floundering in their own ways - but I suspect it’s simply their population having been out moved by their governments. Further, I don’t see people in foreign nations clamoring to mirror the Chinese systems nor to immigrate there. Theirs isn’t a system with widespread appeal. Corporations are learning doing business in China is more likely to get your business nationalized by the CCP than enriched. And of course Russia would be a laughing stock if it didn’t look like a monkey that had just picked up a fully loaded automatic rifle in a filled room.

I think it’s more that the internet has brought a wide recognition of where humanity really is nowadays. And the autocrats are attacking the world with the internet.

I guess it depends on your definition of "taught". Only about 50% of US adults agree on the crux of the issue, that human emissions contribute a great deal to global heating, while 20% say human emissions are not important [1]. Some large percentage of the population, I would guess at least 30%, have received the hoax message repeatedly from popular conservative sources such as Fox News, Donald Trump's former Twitter account, and the TV show Tucker Carlson Tonight.

Now, I tend to think that all these sources don't care in the slightest whether what they're saying is true, and would happily say (and even believe) the exact opposite seconds later if it suited them. And their audiences may at some level understand this. It's not really about what is being said, it's about the way it affirms the coalition and its alignment with truth and goodness.

There is perhaps room for genuine teaching - but I'm not sure what it would take to dig out of where we are today.

cost of living in US metros is extremely high. and you need to pay for the cost of being self employed.
Exactly. Of course GCP/Azure/AWS have great development kits, of course they make it easy to get a Docker application running for the first time within 1 minute. That is the sales model.

However, to be cost effective, you need to adapt your application to be more cloud native using their propietary SDKs. Azure Functions/Lambdna, CosmosDB, Blob Storage/S3, etc. The application gets cheaper, but you've now also bought yourself into the ecosystem and you're never migrating anywhere else.

And now the pricing increases. Or the cloud provider decides you shouldn't be a client anymore. Too bad. No easy way back.

There is still not much wrong with a webapp on a VM. You still need sysops, except classic sysops instead of cloud certified sysops.
Plus human societies has survived and thrived for a long time and it has always had a fringe group of conspiracy theorists nipping at the heels of the mainstream.

There's really no justification for extreme measures to deal with this problem, especially when the potential side-effects largely outweigh any potential gains.

People try to say that things are different now with tech, that conspiracies are spreading faster. But what is also spreading faster and is 10x more popular than conspiracy theories is alarmist news and pearl clutching that society won't be able to deal with it without widespread censorship.

People need to step away from Twitter and take a deep breath. We can handle it.
> I suspect the technical term for that is a "catastrophic lack of strategic thinking".

If I had used the word "should" instead of "could", I may agree with you (or at at least agree with you more).

> That approach is the fast path to poverty. It is more likely to lock in generations of families starving to death than any approach except total war.

There are heuristic predictions of reality ("is", "is more likely", when referencing the future or counterfactual reality), and then there is reality itself (which is unknown, but cloaked and thus not realizable as such). And then there is also a culture unnecessarily stuck in a state where they rarely make a distinction between the two - now that, to my mind, is a real catastrophic lack of strategic/etc thinking.

> The plan there is literally to identify the person in the best position to help and then start hindering/antagonising them.

You're "not wrong", but technically, it should be only a very small part of a well thought out (and thus much more complex) plan.

Not to mention: hindering and antagonism goes both ways.

> You've even managed to envision a scenario worse than just stealing stuff, which is already pretty bad as plans go.

Why is this worse than stealing stuff? Stealing stuff has relatively minor causal effects - it's become normal, "baked into the system", it has been skilfully accommodated as a "cost of doing business". Accommodating random, chaotic, and anomalous events that cannot easily be predicted in advance has much more potential for broad causal influence, at least as I see things (at least: it is plausible). As an example, consider how successful the immensely powerful US military does when fighting vastly under-powered "enemies".

Additionally: explaining on TV why people are stealing stuff is easy - explaining that someone's pool house got burned down and a "Your move." note was left at the scene of the crime is....not so easy. Or desirable, I suspect (the silly masses often have a tendency to get caught up in trends - best for everyone to keep their attention focused on Facebook, TikTok, the political outrage du jour, The Facts, etc).

> Can you come up with a worse path to prosperity if you try?

Easily. And I can also come up with hundreds of better variations - the advantage of this approach though is that it is simple (to understand, and execute), and it (as a singular discrete action) does not require coordination of large numbers of people (subsequent steps would though, of course).

All this is getting a bit beyond the level of colloquial reality we've become "accustomed" to though, so no need to take it very seriously - probably best to just file it under "far right conspiracy theorist" or something like that (choose your preferred meme) for peace of mind, as we do. It's not like the very system we live in deserves the same level of thorough analysis that we devote to the computer systems we work in at our days jobs.
the radars collecting the information
My GPU - an Intel 4600 integrated GPU in a 2014 laptop - kicked up to about 95% utilization while playing with the site. I suspect I was getting fewer details than you - mine was not silky smooth but still perfectly usable, at what I'd estimate to be about 20 FPS.

That your powerful GPU was putting in some effort while my poky GPU [edit: and my 2018 low-end Android phone, admittedly at ~4FPS] are still able to render the scene at all indicates to me that they put in some impressive effort to make the graphics scale for different configurations!

Go further than that. The law should be about personal information. It really isn't anyone's business how much we make or who we're working for or with. Laws should be all about destroying this surveillance capitalism in general instead of pontual remedies like stopping some especific practice.

The law should make this data a liability. Companies like Equifax should not even want to have access to this data. It should cost them money every day to know this information. They should be trying to forget everything they know about us, not amassing even more data.

Maybe the inherent overhead of synchronous replication is more on latency rather than throughput.
This is a fundamental shift from years past where perf per dollar scaled up every generation. Now they are trying to scale performance while also scaling up price. Only time will tell if the demand is inelastic or not.
> Do you know any good resources to get into that mode of thinking, including common patterns, for sombody who is used to malloc everything? I could easily come up with lots of examples in my current project where "it isn't that easy" and "you cannot know this up-front", even when re-designing the whole architecture, and trying to solve those problems feels like re-inventing a hundred wheels that have been invented before.

At some point you have to accept you will have hard limits in place. You have to signal back to whoever is sending you data that you cannot receive any more, they need to chunk it up smaller.

But, key lesson, you should already be doing that, but 99.999% of the time we get away without doing that because memory on modern systems is so large.

Drop down to embedded, and now your bit of code gets a 512 byte buffer to work with, and your paycheck depends on making it work, well, you will figure out a way to make it work.

For data coming in over the wire, generally it consists of packet size fields. It also means waiting for data to be processed until you accept more.

For data being passed around locally, well someone somewhere has a buffer. Careful tracking of ownership means you reduce unnecessary copying of data, especially if data is going to be processed and then discarded.

Strings are a separate problem, typically you will have some sort of string allocator dedicated just to strings because strings suck. But even then you will have a max length, but string sizes vary so much just using max length for every string on a screen will blow your memory budget away.

It took me awhile to get into the proper headspace, and it hurt my heart a little bit when I went back to GC'd languages where memory is thrown away willy nilly!
