Honestly? I'm a fan of this company. It seems like they just make phones that break the universal "palm-sized glass rectangle" meta that's completely subsumed all designs. I remember when I was a kid, there was so much diversity in phone designs! Sliding keyboards, folding screens, the little trackball on blackberries, etc. Now, it feels like the only variation available is size/OS/camera/CPU.

I'm currently using their Jelly 2, which is a smartphone that's just exactly tiny enough to do all the things I need and no more. The screen is 3", and the tiny form factor is still enough for what I want to use my phone for: messaging, calls, all my music apps, all my podcast/audiobook apps, maps/transit schedules, checking email. What the tiny screen is NOT enough for is content consumption - and that's the point. Such a simple idea, but it's worked wonders for my phone addiction. I just do all that on an actual computer now, where it's much more manageable and not constantly in my pocket.

Anyways, the 22,000 mAh phone looks like a miss to me, but I really respect that they're trying to do something different.

Okay, so it does that now. But now how do you tell if it's frozen?
QE generally, pandemic stimulus (in the dumbest, most grift-ridden, and least effective way possible), and fed blundering are all absolutely drivers, so to Saudi attempts to aid the GOP in the elections,

but under such cover the key story of the last 18 months + has been almost entirely been profit-taking.

As with layoffs in the tech industry, those with few morals and a lot of greed duly exploit opportunities as they are presented.

The striking thing about the profiteering going on is how shameless it is, which I personally correlate with the general post-pandemic breakdown of civility, self-restraint, and concern for the common good.
The most apt analogy (to my experience) is that in general, suicidal people don't want to die, but it's like they're trapped on the 20th story of a burning building and sometimes the fire seems to be under control but right now they're nearly overwhelmed with smoke and the heat is bearing down, and they're at a point where jumping seems like the best alternative.

And how relieved they could be if a fireman could put out the fire, or pluck them from that ledge to safety.

In the same analogy, there is still a time when jumping really is understandable; there are situations (Robin Williams comes to mind) when suicide really is a rational option.
It's not mentioned in his intro post, but I would expect Russell Beattie's proposal for an HTML-based document format to tackle this at some point.

Can not what you are convicted of also be biased?

Statistically the gender bias in sentencing is very established / clear cut. There is a lot of academic literature on it.

It seems strange to expect this bias to not have influenced this case too.
Some ISPs have v6 enabled but it's just broken or sub optimal. I imagine the logic is that v4 always works and the user could only see a benefit from having v6 off by default.
Part of it is complying to building codes, and part of it is a tactic to get through design review boards. "This is a design you've approved a dozen times before and appears in cities all over the country" is an effective argument against all kinds of design nitpicks, and complaints about the buildings looking too similar can be addressed by letting the board slap on some random facades and whatnot until they feel invested.
Forgive me for being glib, but if the candidate jumps off because they don't want to answer a very quick, simple, efficient question, that they should fully know is because it is beneficial to filter out complete duds, I'm not sure I want to continue with them anyway?

I wouldn't even know how that happened in an in-person or video interview, or even phone screen. "I'm sorry, I do not want to answer your simple upfront question, because it is beneath me"? Well, good luck to your future endeavors then.

To be clear, as I explained in my first post, my filter questions are not FizzBuzz, they are much more domain specific. At least if it's past the phone screen stage and for more than an internship. But they are still identifiable as trivial filter question for any serious applicant.
I was thinking the same thing. But then it occurred to me that she was behaving like a version of Steve Jobs. How would then the "adult supervision" of Steve Jobs look like? Fired on the spot? I don't think it's easy or even possible to provide adult supervision in that environment.
Outside of actually understanding, in detail and not just in rough strokes, what they are going on about, are there more educated layman's interpretations possible other than the polar opposites of "why do java people insist on making everything that complicated when others have so much simpler FFI" and "wow, it seems like they are addressing nuances that others haven't even thought of (or chose to knowingly ignore)"?
This is perhaps a naive question, but are there many machines that need more than 64bits of address space?

One of the things that jumped out to me about that changes, was that I assume that this will allow for unsafe pointer math. I suppose this is a low level api, but I thought that was an interesting choice.
> seriously, anyone at this point advocating for any other phone/os/service out there besides apple is really going out of their way to swim up river.

This is a little hyperbolic. E2EE backups are fantastic; Apple seriously deserves a ton of praise for this. And iPhones have been getting a ton of security/privacy features that I really love, I am not going to dismiss their contributions to privacy. And while I wish some of their services like the Apple VPN/masked emails were better done, they are still fantastic features that I encourage iPhone users to enable, and that I am thrilled to see rolled out to a mass audience.

Alongside that praise, I am though going to point out that the adblocking on the iPhone is sub-par[0] because mobile Safari lacks Firefox's extension APIs, and I'll point out that their app store model blocks some privacy apps like Newpipe, which forces people into using more invasive alternatives that require stricter privacy controls. I'll point out that it is harder in some ways to get away from the default tracking that happens in Apple's apps than it is to root an Android phone and disable/swap Google services.

Threat model and personal expertise matters here; I like a lot of what iPhone do, but I also dislike a lot of what they do. Personally, I feel more confident in my ability to secure a rooted Android device than I do to secure an iPhone against the majority of privacy attacks I'm worried about. That doesn't mean that iPhones aren't the correct choice for a lot of people. I feel much less confident in a family member's ability to secure an Android phone if I can't give them advice or help them through the process.

And all of this is ignoring that privacy is one aspect of consumer freedom and rights. I think we can praise Apple for what is objectively a great move for privacy without being this over-the-top.

----

[0] Before someone complains, I'm not saying that iPhones don't have adblocking. They do have adblocking and I encourage you to use it, it's great. But that adblocking is objectively not as powerful or comprehensive as it would be to use a tool like Ublock Origin.
You just say things but provide zero evidence.

I can simply go look what that account posts and I did exactly that and it is in fact re-posts of stupid tiktoks form deranged people. No one questions that they have a bias or push a narrative by selecting what they re-post. That is literally what every person on the internet does. Yet they are not in any way responsible legally or ethically for any threats someone else sends out "because" of them.
Just like if someone would send a threats to libsoftiktok because of what you wrote here. Clearly you would not be responsible for that.

>Pretending libsoftiktok is not an anti-lgbtq hate account is weird. Supporting hatred is weird.

I never said any of that. You seem so emotional bout it you make up stuff.

I could not care less what they are anti about. My whole point was that they are not responsible for the action of others. There is no incitement for such actions.
I dont support hatred I support logic. Blaming someone for the action of others is illogical and probably a result of your emotional involvement rather than rational thought. You can only blame that account for what that account actually did. I highly doubt it is sending out threats because then it would have been deleted.

That's both amazing and disturbing. If you ask me to write FizzBuzz, I can do that with my eyes closed. If you asked me to write FizzBuzz using a B-Tree, I wouldn't have the faintest idea how to do it.

By the way, after they write FizzBuzz, ask them to modify it so that it prints "Rawr" or something if it's divisible by 7. If they printed "FizzBuzz" if it was divisible by 15, do they change their approach? If not, keep adding more strings for more prime factors until they do, or until they melt.

I love how I, as a lowly middle-class person, can invest money in a company and if they were pulling the wool over my eyes and I lost my investment, it’s all “oh well, buyer beware”. But let it be some big wigs investing in a disruptive tech (that makes the status quo oh so nervous) then it’s all pitchforks and fire — those devils be damned.

The level of anti-science vitriol here is really astounding.

Thanks to this experiment I got to learn about ER=EPR which is just fascinating even if totally theoretical.
The difference I was aiming at is that the offline events are widely understood, relatable and recognized.

When you do well in a sport, I may not care one bit about this sport myself, but I understand what a sport is, that it's played in the real world, is competitive, and that you had success in it. Hence, every possible demographic recognizes your accomplishment without question.

This is not the same thing as streaming a game nobody ever heard of and having 20 spectators nobody knows. It's not or poorly understood, not seen as a relatable achievement, also not in an absolute sense, and at times may even be seen as an anti-accomplishment: do something useful with your life.

You can try to intellectually smudge these two things together as being the same, but that's nothing but semantics. My point stands that online accomplishments are not accomplishments unless they are extreme (I made a 100K from Youtube).
I'd argue that this is a misuse of flagging. This isn't spam or an endorsement of their worldview in any way. In fact, it goes out of their way to make the person seem somewhat pathetic.

It wasn't just a single commenter. Many people over the years commented here at HN that the Theranos folks were outright delusional and batshit crazy. Unfortunately, the investors and patients who ultimately joined in that collective delusion weren't really aware of HN back in the day.

Although you shouldn't need to do any special handling for v4-only sites on v4-only networks. Your DNS results should be sorted to put v4 at the top in that case, so it should be tried first.

I think the best publicly available model that can follow instructions right now is https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloomz.

It has 176 billion trainable parameters, but I think it uses up terabytes of memory, so there is a trade off between model size and the ability of the model.

On most GPUs, you should be able to run https://huggingface.co/google/flan-t5-large. It is pretty good and is trained to follow instructions.
> music is "bad these days"

Exactly, music is absolutely incredible these days. In any genre you pick, you will find very inspired, innovative and beautiful examples.

Some people who say "music is bad these days" try to contrast pop music with 18th/19th century Western classical music. But that makes absolutely no sense because there are heaps over heaps of beautiful classical music composed in 21st century. You just need to go out there and find them. E.g. there are Unsuk Chin, Jennifer Higdon, Fred Lerdahl, Michael Torke, James Yannatos etc... There is no shortage of beautiful classical music produced today, if you care to look outside of household names.

Similarly, when people contrast pop music with classic rock (e.g. mid-to-late 20th century Rock and Hard Rock), I think they're once again failing to find the right kind of aesthetics. There are Greta Van Fleet, Heart, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club etc... All kinds of artists who make great Rock music. But since they're not mainstream anymore, they're not exposed to masses as much as Rolling Stones, Queen, Led Zeppelin etc...
You realize that your citation actually reinforces the idea that the only reason this law was passed was because the government was against them to enforce “secularism”?

No one claimed that they were being “forced” to be part of a religion. What next? Forcing people to eat pork even if it is against their religion to enforce “secularism”?

This was nothing more than discrimination.

In the US, we had to have laws that allowed Black girls to wear their hair the way they wanted and schools were forcing black girls to straighten their hair to fit in.

> clean separation of single-sex spaces, and are mostly unnecessary

Sexual assaults are vastly more often committed by males than females, and vastly more often on females and children. Until you replace single-sex spaces with something equally easy and effective you can't claim they aren't needed.

> single-sex spaces are problematic AF

Sexual attacks are problematic AF, single-sex spaces are the best way (cost vs effectiveness) we've come up with to prevent them.

What other single, easily inspectable, and enforceable rule would you replace it with? If you have only one bit of data to predict someone's sexual criminality you'd want to know their sex. If you have only one bit of data to predict someone's likelihood of being sexually attacked you'd want to know their sex. We know this from thousands of years of human history and from simply thinking about the male biological imperative versus the female.

> They were never as black-and-white-biology-based

There's no biology more black and white than male vs female, birth giver vs impregnator.

> What about intersex individuals?

Despite all the chromosome combinations and mobile genes there are only two gametes, sperm and egg. All intersex people are male or female. DSDs are disorders of sexual development, not whole new sexes.

> What about gay or lesbian individuals? What about masculine-presenting individuals?

They use the washroom that matches their sex.

> Anecdotally, [...] butch women now report more harassment in bathrooms

Yeah, since males started trying to use female spaces people have been on guard. Not only is their suffering not yours to use for emotional weight but you are part of the group which caused this.

> Women should feel comfortable in [rape counseling] without men present.

Magnanimous, to give them that. How about prisons?

> But those women also need to understand that even if trans people didn't exist, they need to share that space [...] lesbians

Do you feel that straight women weren't sharing with lesbians and that lesbians needed you, a male, to point this out?

> Adding transgender women to the list does not meaningfully destroy the validity of these spaces

As soon as a single male enters a female space it stops being a single-sex space.

> or ruin them for CIS women.

It destroys the value for all females.

> Are there men attempting to infiltrate these spaces? Sure. They are bad faith actors,

Bad faith rapists, go figure.

Is there a test that want us to perform to tell one of them from a justified male?

> and they are exceptions.

They're likely vastly more common than males who think they have gender dysphoria.

> as the hateful anti-trans bigots claim they are today.

How does a woman earn the right to declare herself different and politically distinct from you, and deserving of physical separation, without you calling her hateful?

>Right, but that hardly mattered as long as it applied only to iCloud-uploaded files

There were some practical differences. e.g. Some programs have a permissive default of always marking as 'save to iCloud', and avoiding this can be nonintuitive. Also certain difficulties with deleted images which I am not sure how Apple had wanted to resolve but could lead to unfortunate differences from the other scenario.

More importantly, the moment the client-side capability was there, legal pressure to use it in all cases was bound to come. Normalizing client-side scanning was also bound to legitimize and encourage doing the same on Android, and I can easily think of certain brands which are way less scrupulous than Apple.

All in all, I didn't see the benefit given that server-side scanning was accepted as legitimate and sufficiently effective by just about everyone, but without the risks of client-side scanning.
What's the functional difference between "remotely deleting" and "remotely rendering inoperable"?

Remotely deleting probably just exposes them to all kinds of legal issues, since it would wipe user data too (which you can otherwise possibly still extract, e.g. through the "Files" app).

Online signup and then forced phone cancellation is an infuriating pattern
I just got off the phone with the Wall Street Journal. They have no option to cancel online, even though I signed up online. Forcing me to call a phone number to cancel my subscription so you can put me through a sales pipeline will turn me off your service forever.
