I got a Bash-N-Scrape kitchen tool 20 yrs ago that I still use everyday and it always makes me think of the person who gave it to me.
That is everywhere. For that matter every interaction with someone with a little martial arts training (even what you can find on the internet, though you will also find bad training) can be potential deadly. Most people have the ability to kill another human, few attempt it.
I've tried a number of alternatives and keep coming back to Evernote's legacy apps (Windows and Android). The features I use are just right, and syncing just works, always.

A key feature for me is being able to (with the legacy desktop app) open multiple notes at once, something that I've not seen anywhere else. (I assume this is because the legacy app is a native Windows executable, whereas multiple windows are not supported in the cross-platform frameworks everyone uses nowadays. I may be wrong.)

On a new tablet I was forced to install their new app, and I find it just OK. I don't like it as much as the older one, but it's usable.

Once Evernote shuts off the legacy apps, I will be searching for an alternative once again.
This is (one of) the logical conclusions of suburban, car-enforced social alienation: if you don't know your neighbors and your neighbors don't know you, then everything that isn't immediately familiar to either party is treated with suspicion. And this holds for the entire "food chain": police who don't live in the areas they patrol, DAs and CPS employees who don't understand their communities, &c. It's civically and socially poisonous.

It would of course be ridiculous to claim that these things don't happen absent of car culture: it's a broader trend than that, and there are suburban areas that buck the trend. But the urban/suburban divide here is stark: I grew up walking to school and riding public transport alone, and it's normal to see kids running around my neighborhood without any supervision. That kind of freedom works because nobody is surprised to see a 6 year old running errands; they're seen doing the same thing every day.

Meh, you're quoting their own press release at that point. It's like someone telling you they are a genius. If it isn't obvious, such that someone feels a need to tell me, then I'm pretty skeptical about the truth of it.

> such as that intelligence can be grown to absurd levels (or even just majorly) just by adding hardware to allow for it

This has been the empirically validated trend. The more hardware, the more parallel lines of thought can be explored at once (like in chess).

> that intelligence can just be expanded by itself (thinking itself into being more intelligent)

Of course it can, because humans have already done this. What do you think language, writing, books, school, science and computers are? They are humans augmenting their own effective intelligence by various means. An AI will likely have further means at its disposal, such as access to its own source code (see Godel machines and AIXI for formal models of how this works).

> more importantly intelligence is some kind of superpower that transends very real limitations (like, physical access, or convincing people to do its bidding)

Intelligence is a power, not a superpower. However, money is a power too, and all of our money is digitized these days, and a digital superintelligence might arguably have an advantage in this domain. A superintelligence with lots of money can arguably convince a whole lot of people to do what it wants and get the physical access it needs.
The Rivian suv is even worse like this. I was waiting for the suv to come out and now that it finally did I guess I'll just get a 4runner.

It doesn't boggle my mind that there are people with no sense that think a car with just a big touch screen and nothing else is a fresh new and therefor better idea, but it does boggle my mind that there are so many of them that a whole car actually gets all the way to mass production like that, all the engineers and ergonomics people and managers and execs that all had to sign off on all of that... that does just plain flabbergast me.

You need to navigate screen menus to AIM THE AIR VENTS in the Rivian suv.
In terms of whether it’s poor/reliable design, I think the failure mode and dependency chain is much more important than capabilities. The glovebox example has two key features your windows example does not:

1. If the glovebox fails for any reason, there’s no workaround and it goes to closed. (I don’t know whether it’s true there’s no workaround, but that’s what we’ve got suggested here). This would be akin to the window failing, and reverting to full-open position with no way to physically pull it, or convince it to stay in current position.

2. If the infotainment system fails, the glovebox is taken out with it. Because of 1, the glovebox is taken out 100% — not just the convenient infotainment style of usage. This would be akin to, well, the same. The death of the infotainment system is the death of your windows.

3. There could also be the reverse dependency, not in play here (afaik) — the death of the glovebox mechanic may equate to the death of your infotainment system.

That is, the question isn’t whether the individual component is reliable in and of itself (which is less a statement about Tesla and more of their suppliers), but whether they’ve tied things together such that one failure creates a cascading effect — and done so unnecessarily. And in such scenarios, whether backup strategies exist.. (your tire shouldn’t blow, but if it does… there’s an extra tire in your trunk and shitty-but-enough tools to get by). And as I understand it, Tesla has produced a masterpiece of unnecessarily coupled components, particularly around the UX.

So it’s not surprise to me that they see higher UX failure rates — they seem to design the car intentionally to have no degraded experience allowed; either everything works, or nothing does

> My point is: something can be truly bad and something can be truly good EVEN when considering all possible contexts.

No, that's impossible. "Truly good" or "truly bad" are moral categories. Something closely related to religion, BTW…

> You can't know whether someones "side" is a cargo cult […]

Of course I can.

If it objectively makes no sense (in some context), and is only blindly copied from somewhere else without understanding why there things were done the way they were done, this is called "cargo cult". That's the definition of this term.

How can I tell whether there is no understanding behind something? If the cultists would understand what they are actually copying they wouldn't copy it at all. ;-)

Replacing methods with free standing functions is for example on of such things: In Haskell there are no methods. So free standing functions are all you have. But imitating this style in a language with methods makes no sense at all! It complicates things for no reason. This is obviously something where someone does not understand why Haskell is like it is. They just copy on the syntax level something that they think is "functional programming". But surface syntax should not be missed for the actual concepts! Even it's easy to copy the syntax instead of actually adapting the ideas behind it (only where it makes sense of course!).
I suggest that eventually it would make sense to move from octet-based ISAs to 64-bit word based ISAs. One such sizeof(int, long, float, double, char) is 1.

Absolutely. He has the freedom to abuse; they have the freedom to walk away. Americans seem to think this leads to a virtuous circle instead of a vicious one.

As for what it does in this case... we'll see. Will he get a bunch of superhero 10x programmers sleeping under their desks? Or will all the superheroes leave, reducing him to the ones who are afraid of finding a new job and being bad at it until he fires them?

Thus far he seems all stick and no carrot, but perhaps he's got something up his sleeve.

Voice as an interface sucks for almost everything where choices exist. As a purely serial communications method you are forced to wait for enumerated choices.

As a primary interface voice was very widely used in the 80s and 90s in the form of IVRs and the industry was immediately destroyed by web browsers as fast as was possible. Nothing makes people angrier than having to go through a phone menu system and that’s just an organized version of your more general voice interface.

“Alexa set a timer” defines the kinds of interactions that are sensible to do with voice and it is very, very narrow.

It was never, ever going to be big.

I wonder if it is still impossible to toggle checkboxes on/off in rapid succession without crashing the page. We discontinued using Confluence partly because of this issue in 2019, and just out of curiosity I just checked the ticket again now - closed in 2021 not because it was fixed, but because "we are closing this bug to focus on our upcoming roadmap for all Confluence users."[0]

That seems to be endorsing the exact behavior some users are complaining about with regards to Notion in this thread, leaving so many bugs unresolved while pushing new features.

It is not just ok, but it is necessary. The prices are artificially high due to partially FED insistence on stupidly low rates for much longer period than it was reasonable.

My personal anecdata, our house practically doubled in value since we bought it over 5 years. That is not normal. That price needs to go down. The liquidity here is imaginary just like liquidity in just about anything else. It is worth what people are willing to pay for it.

Finally, the change in rate will mean that they will be willing to pay less, because it will be harder to borrow more.
I think collaborative editing was a mistake. According to Libin circa 2010, Evernote was supposed to be your second brain. Letting other people edit my notes doesn't fit the second brain model (IMHO). I wish Evernote had stayed small and tightly focused on a personal product.

Unfortunately, it's hard to sell to individuals compared to businesses, and so that's where their focus went once they had VC money driving the ship.

So far our farthest stations are about 5 km away from our base station. The RSSI is around -111 dB, this is using ~20 dBm transmit power and 8 dBi omni antennas on both sides (plus of course a few dB of cable loss). Yes, this is in the 915 MHz band.

We tested our LTE network out to about 9 km and it worked, and LoRa should have a better link budget. The frequency is roughly the same.
From what I read online (and I can be very wrong) people are trained for 3 to 6 months in the US and then they are cops. It’s a least 2.5 years, 3 years, or 5 years (depending on your career choice) for police officers in Germany.

There is no other press about this individual so it's hard to take this at face value without further context.

Nonetheless, I'm struggling to see how the case got as far as it did with her taking a plea deal. In particular, I'd expect that if this went to court and got more press, the DA or whomever is pushing this would drop everything immediately.
Or even before any of that happened, somebody just sort of said 'oh, huh, kids probablyh should be able to walk in a neighborhood on their own, and the police shouldn't arrest a parent for permitting it'

Interesting, that doesn't read as "equating" to me.
This is not what the article concludes at all. Every item in this list is met with alternatives or justifications for careful considerations and nuance. If anything it celebrates psychology as a rich field while issuing a warning about specific problematic terms in use. This is no different from most other fields. Cosmology also has problematic terms such as Grand Unifying Theory, even the word planet has issues within the field of astronomy. This is not a damning indictment of respective fields, but a sign of maturity, growth, and healthy debate within the field.

Your example of “neyrodivergent” is a really bad example for your case. This term is a laypeople term that captures the notion that there is a variety in the way people think and behave, and as a society we tend to accommodate only a subset of this variety, leaving the rest (the neurodiverce individuals) in a harder then necessary situations. You don’t need to falsify it because it is not a scientific term. But if you wanted to disproof it, you would need to show that cognitive behavior doesn’t vary nearly as much as observable behavior, the very fact that autism exists should be evidence enough to justify this term.

I think you might be misunderstanding what falsifiability means for psychology or other social science (or any science that uses probability or population statistics in its theories for that matter). When you have a term that distinguishes a subgroup from a population, you don’t try to disprove it by looking at an individual, you look at the variance and compare it with the greater population. If there is no difference in the variance, then most likely you are using an unhelpful term.
Of the high school and jr high kids I know, for most of them their life is on their phone. It doesn't cover that age group but I thought this graph was pretty interesting:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1310218/time-spent-using...

Generally the younger you are the more likely you are to be a heavy user of your phone. There is no data for it but I would expect that high school and jr high kids are probably even higher users than 18 - 34.

Finder behaviour is technically consistent, all things being equal, but it's inconsistent in practice as a knock-on effect of other limitations: the root of this is the (inability) to quit Finder*. If you never quit any apps you ever use, you could probably get consistent behaviour across them, but broadly speaking if you do quit apps you're not using, opening those apps will tend to bring up a new window. Since Finder can't be quit, "opening" it afresh constitutes switching to it in its windowless state. Technically consistent (same as switching to any windowless app) but inconsistent in practice (switching to any other app you have quit will bring a window to the fore).

I suspect this is one of those engineers-vs-ux things where engineers will close this as "works as intented" without considering that the "way it's supposed to be used" isn't necessarily a good model for actual user behaviour. The other potential excuse is "but Desktop icons", which is just rooted in the leaky abstraction of devs tending to DRY-ify desktop rendering by hard-linking it to the app that provides file mgmt. windows.

*: You can work around this with the `com.apple.finder QuitMenuItem` setting at the cost of Desktop icons, but we're talking default settings here.
Nationalizing all banks seems like the worst option of them all. There is no precedent in history of a society built around government owned banks that doesn’t include oppression and failure.

One take away from functional programming that I have incorporated into my Java (and C#) code: If/When possible, never (ever ever!!!) re-assign a local variable. (Rare exception: Classic C-style for-loop iteration with mutable `i` integer variable.) Really, really, I am not trolling / not a joke. How / Why? How? All primative parameter value must be final, e.g., `final iint level`, and local variables must always be final. Why? Final vars are significantly easier to "reason about" when reading code, as compared to non-final (mutable) vars. If you are using containers, always, always, always use immutable containers from Google Guava unless you have an exceptionally good reason. Yes, the memory overhead will be higher, but big enterprise corps do not care about adding 4/8/16 extra GB RAM to host your Java / C# app. Yes, I know that any `Object` in Java is potentially mutable. As a work-around, try to make all `Object`s immutable where possible. On the surface, the whole thing / exercise feels like a terrible Computer Science nitemare. In practice, it becomes trivial to convert code from single-threaded to multi-threaded because most of your data classes are already "truly" final.

Richard Branson, in his autobiography, tells a story about his mother asking him one day while she was driving, if he thought he could find his way home from where they were, which was miles away. He got out of the car, his mother drove off, and he walked home. He was four years old.

It's worth noting that there have been reports of performance degradation running VMWare alongside Hyper-V[0].

In the beginning everyone thought COVID is only droplet transmission and in that case regular masks work really well because it prevents someone carrying the virus from spreading dropdlets. It doesn't even have to be very tightly fitting because droplets will get attached to the fabric. Later there were some evidence that it can become aeresol in some high concentration situations like hospitals, but for all practical purposes in everyday life its droplet.

The problem is not that they are ineffective but that people followed them poorly. I've seen countless people wearing them super ineffectively like leaving their nose completely out, and many people when they wear surgical masks they don't bend the metal bar to fit to their nose and instead basically have like a canopy instead of a mask which of course doesn't do much.
