Good point, it would not be the world. In short, the free countries of the world will come together to protect a democracy from tyranny. Yes, this is imperfect, lots of small countries were not protected, we protect the "good ones" which is unfairly decided.

The democratic countries will come together, the same ones that helped Ukraine; delete from that list authoritarian (democratic or not) countries, and democracies that are led by authoritarian dictator wanna-bes (so if Trump comes back he'd be conflicted, because he loves authoritarian power, but indicated his displeasure with China). Probably not Hungry. Russia doesn't matter if they aren't nuking you. India, there is the authoritarian bent the country it is on - non Hindu people aren't feeling so happy about their country. I'd think India will feel torn because they want to fight Pakistan freely but don't want to increase the power of China. Brazil is another partially fallen democratic country, wonder how that vote will turn out at the end of Oct.

There are two reasons those countries will help Taiwan - because they don't want authoritarian dictators to take over democracies, and because Ukraine reminded us all of the importance of stopping dictators - we can't wait for them to decide they have enough. It's over 80 years since the last time the world went through it, German and Japan were the original threats (with Italy and a few others), now it's China and Russia. The chip making part of Taiwan will all be decimated in the first few hours of a war (you thought that would be one of my reasons to intervene ;-)). It will be re-created bit after bombing it and damage and just losing power it will be hugely weakened, hurting both sides.

Ukraine showed how much more powerful the militaries of the western alliances are. I'm sure China will not be so weak and kleptocratically weakened as Russia was, but they haven't been in battles recently so they will need some ramping up to really organize. I'm sure China will be able to do major damage to navys trying to operate around Taiwan, sink a few us carriers. But the US and the other western countries are about a lot more and they can operate in countries around there.

China is a powerful country, they have brilliant engineers and scientists and that economy and a vast population. They are not to be under-estimated. The world must move forward to promote democracy and stop dictators.
I've done shoutboxes in some other projects and they've worked amazingly. But in those cases, they were manually built and a lot of effort to maintain.

The main issue with the survey is that it's incredibly one way too. The most frequent feedback is that outputs are conflicting. They're designed not to conflict. Some of it might be poorly explained (e.g. tsundere, mean on the outside, secretly nice when you get to know them). Most are edge cases, and it would be good to know more details.
I actually have one week break from my businesses so I am diving into some coding again.

Thinking of building a social media app focused on voice, but constrained in some way so people use it very less and only connect to people close to them.

Yeah agreed. I own all the affinity products and i tried really hard to use them.

They’re just not comparable on desktop to the Adobe equivalents. There’s so many basic features missing right now and their forums mention they’re not planning to add some of them.

Had to go back to Adobe
Well that is the benefit of cloud services.

When cash is tight you just shut them down. Had the businesses bought expensive servers and hired specialized personnel they would not be able to wind down that effectively.
That or he's now taken this as an excuse to climb out of the trashfire he found himself in... (Although he'd been there since 2015, so he should have known what he was getting himself into. Perhaps he just didn't understand before he took the coCEO role just how ineffectual edicts from the C suite were going to be in terms of effecting actual change?)
I distinctly recall my txt experience on the 2007 iphone being one where I could just type and not need to worry about predictive text not doing it's job. At the time I was working for a company who's product was a federated text client. And the results were good. I could type sentences without looking and when I looked down, most of the time what I expected was there--no correction needed. Perhaps this is where predicting sentence structure or personal idioms does not work as well when applied to too wide a scale.
This gets exacerbated if you are using a different language, like we Indians do. Type Hindi/Kannada/Tamil in English. Your autocorrect/predict word steers in the direction of most frequently used language and screws up all your pure english comms. Can still live with autocorrect but absolutely hate this ML based predictive nonsense, and I have completely disabled it.
Provocative choice, explicitly excluding Facebook/Meta filters.
To elaborate, the tube is tuned right below where in closed box the speaker would lose efficiency, so the frequency shift is 180 degrees, and as it takes air from behind it (which is shifted by 180 so it gets to 360 total). But that causes the frequency curve to drop steeper below that.

There is also variant of that where instead of pipe hole there is an extra passive membrane

This is a specific version of the more general "management doing something I think is sub-optimal, how do I change their mind...".
And then there's people like me.

I don't do it for fun and I don't do it for profit. I don't breathe code, most of my time is spent present in the moment in my real life.

I do it to create things simply because I want them to exist. Even when it isn't fun. Most often because I will find them useful, sometimes just because others might.
The training sets for AI systems comprise of millions of examples. There aren't that many programming languages and appropriate data cleansing and presentation are not obvious either. So, I doubt that AI could design any language.
Most libertarians believe some taxation is necessary.

I was hoping that my phrasing made it obvious that I don't believe in the most extreme interpretation of that slogan. But I do believe there's truth in it.

Back to the infrastructure cost problem. I painted an insidious picture. Of course suburbanites are not mustache-twirling villains. They're just asking the government to maintain the infrastructure they use.

The problem is they're not willing to (vote for politicians who make them) pay for the true cost. When the cost is borne by other people, how is this not robbery with majority votes (and thus state power)?
I’d wondered if it was still possible to taste a Gros Michel or if it was lost to time, glad I’ve just been traveling to the wrong places!
Ugh this happens to me all the time. Earlier I typed pre-sale and it put pré-salé for some reason, and it’s in English keyboard. Why have separate ones if you’re just gonna mush the auto together anyway?
I think men admit to it more often especially in anonymous situations.
are you just harvesting prompts?
Apple devices last a long time and get software updates for many years. You really don't need to upgrade unless either (A) the new device has features you want, or (B) your current device stops getting software updates, or potentially (C) you have some new use case that would be more performant on a newer device.
ntfy is beautiful, I use it to remind myself of exercise, reading, paying bills and what not :)
I feel the same, but also got lucky that my oldest son and I both like climbing. So even if he, as a typical teenager, wants to spend time with friends or simply wants to be left alone in his room we spend 2-3 evenings per week together at the climbing gym.
This is something true for major roads. However, also in the Netherlands you cannot have a separate road door to door for everyone. But I guess if cars are below 30 kmh statistical risks are less. However, I flew mid air a bit hit by a car at approximately 15 kmh .
You’re assuming they already have a bank account, but if they don’t they automatically lose $10 a month to evil corporate bank fees. Or you assume they won’t waste the money on hookers and blow if we don’t see what the poors spend it on. Good idea, but both parties would reject it.

We’ve been talking about starting a state bank in California. Besides a service like this, it would allow marijuana businesses access to banks, thus preventing crimes around the all-cash business.
> no, planes spend most of their time in populated areas. specifically near major airports, and the WiFi needs to work on the ground as well.

Except most of a passenger's time in an aircraft isn't spent sitting on the ground (if it is, something's gone wrong) and they can use cell phones and wifi hotspots in such locations anyway.

Further, major airports aren't _populated_. People don't live there and airports are large enough they fill up a significant fraction of a starlink cell.
Yes!

I'm not alone in thinking this!

I'm not crazy! (well at least not for this particular reason)
You might be more interested in Moravian Lovefeast (but it is not decaf).
Same. Firefox on Android.
I thought it would be funny if they took the Netflix approach and started embedding ads in their pages for free tier users.

Like if aws put an ad on their SSO page. Lol
It's an unpleasant place. Very isolated in character and practical terms from even the closest neighbours. Suspicious and dismissive of anything other than their own very local way of thinking, even within the country. People are angrier and ruder than in most other places you know, based on your list.

Let's not get started on daily life in Rome and other filthy, permanently badly managed Italian cities -- of which Milan might be an exception at times.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/10/opinion/the-filthy-metaph...

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/10/rome-rubbish-c...

https://www.smh.com.au/world/europe/in-rome-the-exploding-bu...

Etc. I could add links in other languages from Le Monde ( France ), El País ( Spain ), and pretty much any other country bordering or nearby for you to see what they say. Ask a Swiss, an Austrian, or a Slovene how it feels entering Italian roads when crossing the border. If I add my own life long experiences and expand on character and moral compass, or pride in one own's work, I'd be downvoted to oblivion and accused of making things up.

Services, transportation, infrastructure, business, food scene, daily life, safety, everything is lacking, everything's generally uncomfortable, unsettling, aggressive, and I suppose tourists don't stay long enough to see the worst, dazzled by art and ancient culture on display everywhere.

Edit : What Tucci ( or Clooney, who famously owns a house in Como and is so proud of his children speaking Italian ) say or show about Italy is not relevant or true to life. They literally make up stories for a living, act to make you feel what they want viewers to feel. They also live in a rich person's bubble and see what they want to see only. My family is in the same bubble, and good grief, is it mind-blowing when you peek out of it into real Italy.
Presumably it could be useful in that context. I don't know what the alternative is; probably direct radio links to other planes and/or ground stations.

It might be a problem for SpaceX if their satellite network were to be deemed a military asset -- a foreign government might consider them a legitimate military target and destroy the satellites if they have the means to do so.
This is a 2000-page monograph on those topics in the title. I was hoping that the monograph goes deeper into optimization theory, but it seems that, while the monograph builds up to optimization, it only covers select topics in optimization. The title says it is "for computer science and machine learning." As such, deeper mathematical works in optimization theory understandably do not seem to be the intent behind the monograph.
Except at some point those books end up in some storage box in the basement, or potentially tossed out. Digital notes are forever with iCloud/Dropbox/etc and can be searched anytime.
The wafers seem so cheap and weird to me… Why don’t they just use bread? Even for large congregations bread would be pretty cheap - and tasty too.

They wouldn’t use Grape soda for wine so why do use carb pellets for bread?
I'm wondering if it's XCheck that locked-out my later account when it decided by zombie account (I don't have the email address anymore) was a "duplicate". The check condition it fired on was visiting the 2FA settings page. Some nice wf on-call fixed it from an oops task and I don't touch that page anymore. :)
Are you talking about autocorrect or predictive text?
I’ve seen way too many companies with the attitude “don’t worry about cloud spending.”

Being frugal with cloud resources forces you to consider your tech choices. That’s a good thing!
I can't remember where I read the following but I recall that women are a lot more careful when they are going to cheat than men are. I think this was from a private investigator and basically like women will employ a lot more operational security and tradecraft so to speak in order to preserve their secrecy whereas men will basically sort of make 'stupid mistakes' and get caught more easily.

I guess you could imagine from evolutionary perspective that's maybe it's a biologically higher perceived risk for women... While perhaps biologically the gains from cheating are probably the same.
I get this angle, but I just bring good headphones and random-ass strangers aren't the most uncomfortable part of flying. At least not the noise they make.
There is no such thing as "men" or "women". There are only individuals. Once you attribute anything to "men" or to "women", you are creating a pathological fallacy which smears all members of the group with the attribute. Even when the attribute is conditioned with "some", "most" or whatever all members of the group are smeared in spite of the best of intentions. It's human nature. What possible utility would this information provide except to deliberately smear a group?

I am not x% more or less likely to cheat. I either cheat or I don't. I should not carry the burden of x% on account of my gender.
I'm messing around a bit with my soundboard: https://such.press/

FYI, since people seem to be actually playing with this, some of the sounds are very loud, others contain profanity, and the best ones meet both of the aforementioned criteria.

Sound suggestions and other feedback welcome. PRs also more or less welcome, although I have a pretty picky vision for the site (aka whatever makes me and my friends laugh). https://github.com/hfuller/omg.such.press
Which should balance out, leaving the fact that he is still providing an invaluable service to the paying customer
Yup, and that is how ultrasonic heat pumps work!

JWST has one

https://webb.nasa.gov/content/about/innovations/cryocooler.h...

basically, make a standing wave of gas in a pipe and the peak of pressure will be hotter than the valley. Put the thing you want to cool in the valley, radiator in the peak, and voila, a heat pump.
It’s true that the use cases for that tablet has shrunk as it has stopped receiving updates and access to the newest apps.

And while the interface has become quite sluggish once you open a book or play a video it runs great and the screen is still absolutely amazing.

I don’t think a decade old iPad is necessarily trash, but I will concede that a decade old Linux desktop loses fewer of its use cases.
Before Java, Bill Joy proposed "C++++-=":

>Bill Joy’s Law: 2^(Year-1984) Million Instructions per Second

>The peak computer speed doubles each year and thus is given by a simple function of time. Specifically, S = 2^(Year-1984), in which S is the peak computer speed attained during each year, expressed in MIPS. -Wikipedia, Joy’s law (computing)

>C++++-=

>“C++++-= is the new language that is a little more than C++ and a lot less.”
-Bill Joy

>In this talk from 1991, Bill Joy predicts a new hypothetical language that he calls “C++++-=”, which adds some things to C++, and takes away some other things.

I have a home in an area without an HOA and I have had a 100% resolution rate by just talking and explaining. Being decent and pragmatic goes a long way.
I am not going to hold my breath on extending their hobbyist offerings.

I own a copy of IDA (legally). It was an absolute pain to purchase and it seems that a large portion of their margins are dedicated to piracy control. I won't detail the process...but it seems unusually personal.

If I had to guess they will expand their decompilers (the actual flagship project). It will be years before Ghidra + a community catch up to them and Binary Ninja (I also own a copy of it) may never. The disassembler is just a familiar tool. Their decompilers are way, way far ahead.
Edit: When this post was written, the majority of the popular posts were unrelated complaints and general criticisms of Musk and/or his companies. Most of them now appear to have no been deleted/flagged/significantly downvoted.

What a thread, full of people complaining about unrelated things rather than what the actual link talks about.

I think it'll be interesting as this rolls out to more airline customers even though this specific product is more aimed at corporate jets and similiar aircraft.

From the FAQ:

Which aircraft types are supported for Starlink Aviation?

Supplemental type certificate (STCs) are in development for the following aircraft: ERJ-135, ERJ-145, G650, G550, Falcon 2000, G450, Challenger 300, Challenger 350, Global Express, Global 5000, Global 6000, and Global 7500. The Starlink engineering team will update this list as development begins on additional aircraft.
Being frugal with cloud resources can also put a dent on your velocity.
Sure! Don't get me wrong: they an extremely off-putting company. I just think I get where they're coming from.
Yup - I've turned off slide and predictive and it seems to be exactly how it used to be - infinitely easier to get the words in to the point where you don't even need to look at the keyboard!
I'm familiar with a different C-- developed by Peter Cellik which appeared before the language in the article (1997). But the article has no mention of it. The discussion page of the article does mention there used to be many languages called C-- with similar ideas and the article only talks about a specific one
I'm not going to argue about this. go look up flight aware data. when a given airline has a dozen or so planes in the same beam because of a hub, it creates massive congestion. people use the internet whether they're on the ground or not. it certainly uses up a giant portion of a starlink cell if they were ever to land an airline.
I think everyone who uses Jira gets paid to do so and their employer pays both atlassian and the user …
I'd guess that does not mean that 29% moved all of their services to the competition. They might just buy a tiny bit from the competition compared to earlier just buying everything from their (expensive) main provider for convenience.
You will know exactly how competent and how robust as well as exactly what their limitations and weaknesses are. You'll also know all their internal procedures, what decisions they'll make in a given situation before they make them (because you taught them what to do), the exact capabilities of their weapons, where they deploy their forces, it's information the military would literally kill for against any enemy.

Maybe they would have otherwise been bungling and inept, but that is pretty poor planning to to just hope that your enemy is incompetent. The more likely scenario is they would be competent and you just wouldn't know anything about them.

A competent enemy you can predict is probably better than an incompetent one you can't. Better to know in advance exactly what competent thing they will do so you can anticipate it. Incompetent people can still get lucky and can hurt you when they act in ways you don't expect.
Right, but it was never meant to specialize in user-directed filtering and discovery to the level you are describing.

To your second point, every social context that gets 'cool' eventually gets LCDed into mediocrity (even HN). You have to outrun the noise, as you described in your #gothgothgoth example
It's a shame I have such a revulsion to that click bait technique I didn't bother reading what is apparently a good article.
Starlink Premium is still for fixed service, not mobile. Even Starlink RV is not for use while in motion. Starlink's mobile offerings are Starlink Maritime for $5k/mo and Starlink Aviation for $12-25k/mo. $4500/mo seems totally justifiable given the military use. By the normal standards of military contracting, it's a veritable bargain. SpaceX is continuously defending against Russian hackers now that Ukraine is relying on them so heavily, and also developing methods to resist jamming. Probably a significant fraction of all people working on Starlink are dealing with this stuff in one way or another.
I chose to use Firefox because I wanted to regain control over my browsing experience. I did not choose it because I wanted this crap.

- Arbitrary Add-ons on Firefox for Android when?

- Dev tools on Android when?

Note that I switched to using a Chromium-based browser on Android because it actually cared enough to supports both these things.

Mozilla, listen to your existing users (what few remain of them). You will never get the userbase you're gunning for by mimicking your competitors.

>We should just wholesale copy a system that is working like in Finland and scrap what we have, as it's not working.

That's impossible. Americas have a pathological amount of NIH syndrome: they are utterly and completely unable, as a society, to look at anything outside their borders and learn from it.
Probably. Allowing people to stay connected on a plane is likely important, but now that "connected" can be "able to send WhatsApp messages" then the need for a phone is much reduced.
I'll add one to your facebook/linkedin example: Hallmark cards.
Any organization that's too big to fail should be too big to privatize.
In moment to moment work, I am starting to think focus is more about _not_ keeping busy when you need to wait for something.

Yeah, it isn't illegal to be a monopoly, but being one can restrict practices like bundling.
There are tangible problems with a low birth rate though, which western economies are experiencing now.
Oh this is nice. Demo seems a bit slow, but I'll try it out.
Instead of spending the money on unqualified teachers, provide some vouchers so that students can attend a private school.
