Being cleared by the FDA means that they have demonstrated evidence, which is linked in the original Apple page: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36305584/

Like others have said, it's likely prescription only because being FDA approved as a treatment for a specific disease allows it to be paid by VA or other health insurances.

FDA approval processes and guidelines are notoriously rigid and increasingly antiquated, and likely ended up requiring "the whole system - i.e. watch + app + phone" to be approved together, making the package pretty pricey - and in awesome circular logic now basically require insurance to pick up the tab.

There are some efforts to make "digiceuticals" more streamlined to approve but... the FDA is unfortunately very necessary but painfully in need of reform.

I get the distinct impression that Netflix leadership vastly over-estimated the value of their in-house technical IP to delivering streaming content.
It depends on the workload. You absolutely can parallelize many processes using tools like Sidekiq. My single threaded ruby app might take hours to query data sequentially from an API. But with sidekiq suddenly you have to throttle your concurrent processes because the API is breaking under the stress.

I know it's not Disney / Netflix, but am I the only one surprised by how good and unappreciated Prime Video is? I find there's some good stuff on there and it's all bundled in with my Prime subscription so as a long-term Prime subscriber I feel like I basically get it for free. The Boys is amazing for example, probably the best superhero show I've ever watched. Amazon Music got a nice upgrade recently as well with more albums included with the standard Prime subscription.

> I spent years writing code using Spring/Hibernate, and I can state with certainty that both of those statements are demonstrably false.

> Every application starts with good intentions, a simple CRUD webapp, and an ORM, then at some point the business requirements yield an N+1 problem in ORMs or several non-trivial left joins into records that don't map the shape of the entities. At that point it's far easier to write the query in straight SQL and produce a straightforward mapping into the record structure, which doesn't play well with the ORM because that bypasses its entity cache, which causes another huge set of problems on its own. So now not only is there ORM maintenance and SQL maintenance, there is now a problem with the conjunction of the two technologies.

I agree that that's often the end result, but in my experience 100% of cases are due to SQL fanboys who are unwilling to spend 5 minutes actually reading the ORM documentation and finding out how to do their N+1 query or complex join properly, which is actually easier than doing it in SQL if you try.

And don't get me started on "Hibernate is slow. The entity cache? Oh, our unnecessary custom SQL query made that inconsistent so we've disabled all caching".

They tried. They failed so horribly that the RIAA basically granted Apple a monopoly on digital music for the next half a decade. Steve Jobs had to basically slap the labels around a lot just so that they wouldn't limit how many iPods you could sync your music to or make you buy a subscription. Music streaming was tried by basically every other player in the business and failed until Spotify pushed for ad-supported free streams.

Interestingly enough, the record labels - or at least Sony and Universal - actually do have minority ownership in Spotify. I would not be surprised if that was specifically pushed to get those labels on-board with Spotify's really low royalty rates.

As for why they don't do it today... my guess is that the exclusive content model just isn't as much of a draw for music as it is for movies and TV shows. Or, more specifically, we don't listen to music like we watch TV shows. Imagine if someone just made a list of episodes of Netflix shows they liked and watched them in a random order - that'd be insane. But that's how we handle music all the time. Pulling your music off Spotify means you lose out on radio and playlist royalties, because nobody can make playlists across streaming apps. You'd have to switch into the one streaming service that has the latest Taylor Swift album, then switch back to the one that has the Sony BMG catalog, and so on. Nobody would do this.

When people say democratized anything, it comes across as meaningless marketing speak. I don't mean the traditional non-political use of the word (i.e., simply making something easily accessible to a lot of people).

It's basically trying to claim some good, without having to quantify or justify that in any way.

The US dollar is ultimately controlled by democratic institutions even if you don't count individuals using it as having any control. Therefore it is democratized money by the same vague handwaving.

Functions satisfy the laws of a vector space (well, certain classes of functions, such as L^2 anyway -- I'm certainly no expert here). I.e., functions are vectors. And the derivative is a linear operator on that space: d/dx(af + bg) = ad/dx(f) + bd/dx(g). Therefore d/dx has eigenvalues, one of which you properly identified as e^x (and more generally, e^ax, as others have pointed out).

I can't really judge them for doing this. Sanctions that target the ability to use the global financial system are overly broad and harm basic human rights; For instance, Iran experienced major medication shortages during the pandemic. If a country is going to place sanctions on another country, they should be more specifically targeted.
I think this the main reason -- it really just comes down to the number of unique pieces of content a user will stream in a session.

For video a session is generally one movie or a bunch of episodes of the same TV show, so you can sit in one service for a long time.

But for music, you'd either spend lot of time hopping between services OR you are forced into making compromises (e.g., do you listen to the classic rock radio station on the service that has rights to rolling stones, or the app that has rights to led zeppelin)?
It certainly appears that the purchase has been horribly mismanaged - I say this as someone who generally likes the idea of Musk buying it.

That said (the "cue the fanboys" troll below called it I guess), I like the idea of a platform like this not being beholden to advertisers. A platform that's making choices to appease a squeamish advertiser is basically bad for everyone but that advertiser. This pull-out seems like it's just silly virtue signaling, but to the extent it's not, I'm happy to see Twitter being editorially independent. Hopefully it won't completely destroy them.

I've been having mechanical problems with M.2. Not only does it specify very thin PCBs for no good reason, but variable length, width, and different fasteners make M.2 a rather annoying form factor for me personally. In addition to problems caused by thermal characteristics or vertical depth used up by heatsinks. It's not always possible to locate a fastener that will work in a given board, or even remove it from the top side without completely disassembling a machine. Not all boards are x86 PCs or servers either, M.2 is now used in embedded devices and some assumptions can't be taken for granted there.

If you look at PCI or PCI Express there is a mechanical component to the case and socket which holds on to the card so that it's not just floating there. However M.2 capable boards seem to have a wide variety of fasteners, and that's the only thing holding it in. There is no standard part for this, and good luck if you need a replacement or it wasn't included in the stock machine.

I've also watched an employee of a computer store install an M.2 card in a bent position because the included fasteners were not even capable of correctly holding the card. Why is it so easy to mis-install in the first place?
I don't know about ActiveRecord or Django specifically, but: the obvious way in their query builder? Adding a joined collection, doing an aggregation on it, and sorting by it, are all easy in any ORM worth bothering with. What did you try and where did you get stuck?

That's kind of ridiculous. It's quite unwieldy and leads to many spoiled ballots. And I don't think forcing ordering past the point of caring really changes anything.

I don't think it helps generalising either platform. There's no way you can say all of Netflix content is bad. There's really good content coming out like Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Arcane, Dark, Enola Holmes, All Quiet on the Western Front, The Sandman and so on. No other platform invests in anime in my region like Netflix does and considering Crunchyroll doesn't operate here, it's a blessing to finally have a legal way to watch a bunch of them

At an abstract level this is true for all capital assets to some extent. The price level correlated with the velocity of exchange for the asset class, if everyone in Boston tried to sell their house tomorrow the market would crash, even though on paper the real estate value of Boston is around 100 billion. On the other end, you can sell 100 billion in treasuries without a problem (fingers-crossed). On a day to day basis the trading volume relative to the size of the asset is minuscule.

Economists track money locked into different tiers of static assets as different money supply tiers. M0 is the money that gets used to buy your morning coffee, M4 is things like government bonds and housing. There are different tiers in between for things like your car, an assembly line, or a stock.

The reason the rampant money printing of the last decade didn’t effect inflation was due to the money being locked up in the low velocity tiers which have ballooned in size over the last decade. Any event which causes people to liquidate these assets such as war, supply disruption, energy crises, or disease moves inflation higher as the asset battery gets deployed to fight the crises.

Biggest historical example of this was the WW2 where all sides had to adopt measures to counter inflation.

A pure query builder is just writing SQL on syntax tree level, more or less. This makes sense for the same reason why you want your macros to operate on ASTs and not raw text. But I would argue that it's still much closer to plain text SQL in the code than to any ORM.
Some thoughts:

- Reminds me of a GitHub commentor saying they left tech to build furniture out of wood ("I no longer build software" [0]).

- AI art might eat your lunch, especially in the concept art world. The main guy on Twitter who put out the thread about Stable Diffusion was a concept artist [1], and I think concept artists, graphic designers and generally non-fine-art artists will be hit the hardest.

- The part about a more diverse player roster was interesting given that ATVI use a tool for it, although not for Overwatch apparently [2]. Some people were outraged online (on both sides of the political spectrum) but personally I don't see a problem with it. People may not necessarily remember the various axes on which others operate (race, class, gender, sexuality, etc), so there's nothing wrong with a tool that can help people analyze that and create characters for that. It reminds me of the outrage doctors first had over needing checklists for tasks, but they actually do work when studied. They're just tools, nothing more, nothing less.

TRAMP is generally performant enough with vanilla Emacs, but there are plenty of popular packages that utterly tank TRAMP performance. The big culprit I’ve personally found was helm. It made TRAMP unusable. You may also need to deal with some finnicky settings both in Emacs and in your remote shell to get it running satisfactorily.

I totally agree though that VS Code has a way better out or the box remote coding experience.
Took a quick look at sleep.io and seems like it might just be CBT-I. There's a free app from the VA (ironically, given the subject of this thread) - https://mobile.va.gov/app/cbt-i-coach. It's a little rough around the edges, but if you have the general idea of CBT-i it's probably good enough.

In case you don't have the general idea, here it is -
1. Decide your desired wake time. Figure out how much sleep you are currently getting.

2. Go to bed late enough that there's only enough time to sleep the amount you are currently sleeping before your desired wake time. When the wake time arrives (or before, if you wake up too early), get out of bed. E.g., If you want to wake up at 7am and you are currently only getting 5h of sleep each night, you should go to bed at 2am.

3. (Be really really tired for a couple of days, oh my god)

4. Once you are finding it easy to fall asleep and stay asleep until your desired wake time, start backing up the bedtime gradually. (* this is where the app will help, can tell you when to do it and by how much)

5. [follow a bunch of other rules about when to go to bed and when to get out of bed and when to exercise, drink alcohol, and coffee]

Not defending sleep.io or your experience here, which does sound very frustrating - just hopefully some help from a fellow insomniac. CBT-i did help me, albeit temporarily. I have to re-do it periodically.
