I always felt that mantra of Apple simplicity was a cop out for lack of desire or inability to write rich complex software at scale and not get subsumed by bugs and QA load. It is a matter of prioritization too, the non sexy stuff doesn’t sell nor lead to promotions so many fundamental things just stagnate it feels.

I joke with my wife that being in the Apple ecosystem is sometimes like being married to this inconsistent and erratic spouse who oscillates between a few extremes. They bring out all this high romance show off blingy stuff that elicits high emotions and surprise and delight. But when it comes to the more mundane stuff like cleaning up and daily chores and keeping the socks and underwear off the floor they become lazy bums sleeping on the couch who can’t be bothered. They then try to make it up to you with a “hey babe check this out I can now do fancy thing xyz, see?” all the while ignoring the honeydo list of 125 things that have made no progress in the last three years. The funny thing is I’m still on the fence for determining which ratio the behaviors skew and how it all rolls up in net.
I finally deleted Twitter a few days ago. I don't miss it at all. FB is going to be the next.

But now HN is the new hottie for me :D
Regarding the cold showers, do you do this anywhere you are, year round?

Where I live the water out of the pipes is < 4c and the air temperature in our shower area probably colder.

I like the idea of cold showers but I'm not really sure it would work in these conditions, I actually think it might send someone into shock.

> Or, in an extreme case, Twitter could go bankrupt.

The article doesn't really entertain the most logical answer: because that's part of the plan. Musk is trying to cause Twitter to declare bankruptcy so that it can be rebuilt. Musk is already on record as saying that the software stack needs a complete re-write. Maybe he thinks the company needs a complete reboot.

At the very least, a bankruptcy could wipe out a large chunk of the debt the company now holds post-acquisition.

Change jobs! Seriously. Nothing more invigorating than to face new challenges, tools and codebases and to get to know new people and new ways of working. It also costs energy but usually it makes you feel better at the end of a day rather than worse.
Maybe in another 30k years people think the cave stuff beats anything Michelangelo did. And the only reason today we might feel different is because Michelangelo did his artwork only 500 years ago.

You don't need to preserve everything to remember history. If we never destroy old buildings, we'd have to abandon all our cities and find new places to build new cities, because we can't just keep living like it's the middle ages (or whatever time period you feel we need to preserve).
I'll bet that happened more than once. I always wondered how that Prolog core got embedded in the Windows NT network stack.
Agreed, but it honestly still tastes kinda funny compared to a "real burger," having tried it before. If I was going to go full "vegan" I would personally avoid anything pretending to be a burger at a minimum, with the exception of maybe an "Impossible Burger" every now and then if I got a craving as it comes somewhat close. I honestly wouldn't even try going anything close to vegan as a whole until lab-grown meat becomes a real, mass produced, phenomenon. Even then, though, it's hard to say if that would still truly be considered "vegan."

I've literally been that engineer, manning that computer, in that room at White Sands, for that instrument on SDO. I was the telemetry/power systems engineer for one of their launches to do underflight calibration on the EVE instrument. It was an absolute nightmare of a job.

The PCs were Dolch lunchbox style single board computers. I had to scrounge the one together for the mission I worked in 2013 by assembling it from a couple of others that were broken. Then I got the joy of installing DOS, to run good old TDP502.exe to handle the telemetry stream coming in. Every fifteen seconds I had to hit "Print Screen" to make the tractor feed printer attached to the machine do a print out of my screen. Kind of insane given that the ground station was making a Chapter 10 format recording of the same data, but NASA allowed no deviation from the way they had always done things.

Worst job I ever had.
Suppose a young health person says they want to die, and stops eating or drinking. We'd label that a suicide attempt, and force them to get medical care.

If a terminally ill elderly person makes the same choice, we label it as "voluntary stopping eating or drinking", and consider it totally normal.

Which is to say, even with no assisted suicide program in place, frequent decisions about who we're allowing to kill themselves is happening.

Yep. I just updated my desktop from 10.14 to 10.15 only because I had to. Best to stay a couple of years behind. Not like the Apple of 15 years ago where their stuff just worked.
The U.S. successfully shot down a satellite at that altitude in 1985 with an F-15 and a specially designed missile. Are they all 35 years behind? I don't think that's a good assumption.

I had to give up alcohol (not a big drinker) and caffeine and sugar and wheat and dairy (those 4, regular consumer) due to a skin condition that they were triggering. Been a couple months now. It’s still hard (particularly coffee and sugar) but I feel very different. I feel a lot better, but the cravings are intense still. I plan to keep it up now for the duration.
Interesting, I wasn't aware of that, thank you for the correction. Incredible in a way, to be so far ahead and with such a regulatory tailwind to be able to squander the lead.

One of the things that has been at the back of my mind is this: when the CEO of a large company is selling large volumes of stock they know more than anybody what is at stake. A CEO that has an optimistic outlook about the company they run will buy stock, not sell it. Elon has been selling across a 50% drop as though it makes no difference.

Wow, I was unaware that Elon already brought that amount of equipment into space!

The claim is that a body is necessary for consciousness to emerge. Why? Because of perceptions.
I'm sorry but your counter-example of shutting down your senses doesn't work because you have already perceived. Don't forget that living organisms have memory (data storage. Besides, it's probably not shutting down all perceptions anyway...

The better question is would you think you would be conscious if you had never perceived the physical world?
> It would dramatically change where people live, where they work, and how they take vacation.

Sure, the street car revolution changed where people lived and where they worked and ultimately how cities were designed. But it has been a 100 years, and the public transit technology has gone through multiple iterations (including fully automatic [i.e. self-driving] systems and sleeper train cars). I honestly don’t see how self driving cars will change anything that public transit hasn’t changed already.

Ah I see. Ok, but the world has now seen 'reusable rockets with a low cost to orbit', if that advantage gets lost then ultimately someone else will duplicate it and own the market. Customers don't care about politics, they care about costs, and reliability. SpaceX has both of those, right now. Anything recycled or warmed over is not going to satisfy the demand that exists now.

In the absence of charges, Maxwell's equations reduce to `\nabla^2 F = d^2/dt^2 F`, (where F is the electromagnetic field tensor) which has solutions given by superpositions of traveling waves.

What I suspect you want, however, is some sort of substance or essential nature that makes the thing go. If that's the case, then the answer is that there are no such things. Not for light, not for ordinary classical mechanics, not for anything. Physical systems are what they do.
There are only two kinds of bags: carry-on and lost. I always travel as minimal as possible so I can stash my gear under the seat.
Here are the things that make the job less exhausting and more fun for me:

1. Knowing why I'm doing something.

2. Knowing what I'm going to do before doing it.

3. Having a plan before I start working on something.

4. Make sure the project you're working on has some structure and if you're working in a team, make sure everyone is on the same page.

Thinking about how your career should progress in the future also should make you enjoy work more, this is so it doesn't feel like what you're doing today is going to be what you're going to do forever, personally, not having that vision makes me depressed.

I personally believe most of the mental drain of knowledge work comes from the ambiguity and the fatigue that comes from not having good plans which in turn cause more mistakes, longer work hours and more stress.

Some people also talk about injecting new things into your work which is good, but I also think "mastery" is very fun and rewarding, mastering your test suite framework, your editor, your chosen programming language.

System Preferences was rewritten for Ventura in SwiftUI, which is absolutely not ready for production, especially on Mac. Speaking from personal experience, I recently wrote a simple macOS app using SwiftUI. I found the framework to be slow (why does it use so much cpu/memory when idle??), unintuitive, and awkward to use. Despite being in its 4th year, SwiftUI is still very much beta software, and I wouldn’t recommend using it for anything serious.
The most common thing we hear about aborigines is either "project delayed because ancient dump discovered" followed closely by "Aboriginal focused government program is expensive and ineffective". The most common attitude would be indifference, followed by a general irritation if something Aboriginal related "gets in the way".
Racism is hard to measure, it's fairly common, but most often taking the form of condescending paternalism, rather than actual negativity (not that this does not exist, but it's a tiny proportion).
"Culture" and "civilization" are different things. Chimpanzee tribes have culture, as do orcas and dolphins, but I don't see how you can call their societies "civilizations". The group of people here on HN have a "culture", but this is not a "civilization", it's just a website (though it's part of a civilization). Humans lived in hunter-gatherer tribes for hundreds of thousands of years or more before they invented agriculture and created what we now call "civilization". I really don't see how you could properly apply the term "civilization" to any group of people that live in tribes.
I don't enjoy vscode (any more) and don't enjoy IntelliJ, so I'd hope to be able to use this for IDE things.

I'd like to see an alternative to LSP created for editors like this, now that Visual Studio Code has shown not to be open. I think it could be built upon Jupyter Kernels, which really pioneered the client server architecture of LSP.

My ideal IDE would be something I would also want to use for one-off editing of config files. I did this with TextMate back in the day.

"The internet can also give us tools more narrowly to target specific demographics and to strengthen those assumptions that prevent acceptance of new ideas, nudging people towards algorithmically determined tastes or styles. Companies can use demographic models and track people’s search patterns to pander to their initial tastes and to strengthen those tastes, rather than broaden their horizons."

Pretty prescient for 2008.
I honestly don't get it. They can't be that stupid, and with the hybrid era pretty much over they have lost what was once a pretty good lead. They already had the drive train pretty much all they need to do at this point is to replace the mass of the ICE with a much larger battery pack and they're set to compete. That would still require a redesign of the vehicle but they have done that so many times I don't see that as an obstacle.

..And the one thing that might have saved Southwest in the past, its ferocious employee loyalty and willingness to go several extra miles when the shit hit the fan because they knew they were being taken care of, has been utterly destroyed by the new management.

If you change the setting from the top right it should stick the setting in the url and this will be used for follow up searches. For instance this uses the `us` preset with imperial units:

https://merrysky.net/forecast/poughkeepsie/us

If no setting is chosen it currently defaults to SI units. It's not ideal even from my perspective, wind speed in m/s is hard to grasp compared to km/h. In a near update I'd like to have it default to the unit of measurement culturally used at the location of the forecast and allow to save it to user local storage settings for more consistency.
He resigned from Trump’s appointment in protest and stated many times that he’s a centrist and wants to rid Twitter of the far left and far right.

Pontius Pilatus did exist and is a key player in the Christ story. There are records of his appointment as governor and coinage with his likeness. There’s also historical accounts that his administration was often at odds with the Jewish population.

90 years isn’t a long time and many contemporary primary and secondary sources no doubt existed. If I was speaking about US history, I could mention Gov Al Smith of New York contemporaneously and many people with context would understand me immediately. Tacitus wasn’t writing for an audience a millennia in the future.

It can be both.

If your business is predicting and anticipating moves, and you find that you cannot predict or identify a clear likelihood, often your best bet is to sit out. Warren Buffett has rather famously sat out several rounds of tech bubbles because he couldn't make sense of them.

In the case of Margin Call however another clear interpretation is that Irons is seeing that "the music stops playing", e.g., the game is over.
That is a tremendously fun fact! The little background things that keep society running. May I never be cursed enough I would ever have to directly work with such a system.
You may not see one as a subset of the other but there is no shortage of nested diagrams like [1], showing machine learning as a sub-field of artificial intelligence.

Further, the canonical Russell and Norvig AI textbook [2] only mentions machine learning briefly, as one of several skills that a computer would need in order to pass the Turing Test:

> machine learning to adapt to new circumstances and to draw new conclusions

And the Wikipedia page (which also contains a similar nested diagram) describes ML as a “part of” artificial intelligence.

So it is pretty clear to me that ML is treated as a sub-field of AI. However I still believe the AI field dances around the definition of Intelligence, preferring a practical task-oriented definition instead.

>No, my OP and this thread's link is about government intervention, which then lead to social media action.

I don't see a problem with private and public sector collaboration, it happens all the time. Not all communications between Twitter and the government resulted in Twitter taking action, and even when Twitter took action it does not mean they did so outside their own community guidelines.

>Whilst I do think social media platforms should have additional regulation once they are big enough to become the new public square, there's no need to go that far yet and I'm uncertain of the appropriate balance.

So which is it? You want regulation or you don't? Stop speaking out of both sides of your mouth.

>However when it comes to the government's own response, they should have higher bar for taking action due to the oppressive influence it can have backed by it's monopoly on force. And again I state that this should be serious scientific study as the minimum prerequisite for this bar.

No, governments are expected to lead and provide information to their citizens on urgent matters. In a situation like COVID you can't wait 12 - 24 months for comprehensive scientific meta-analysis studies to confirm things. It seems you want a very hands off approach during a national crisis. I assure you this would not go over well, and is just as reprehensible(e.g. lackadaisical responses to Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana or Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico), as an overly heavy handed approach(e.g. China welding people's doors shut).

Also my original reply was regarding your claim that it's not possible to disprove misinformation without serious scientific study. That statement in and of itself is misinformation. You do not need exhaustive proof to show an in-vitro study does not mean a drug is a cure for COVID, or to show confounding variables, or that there were zero cited sources for claims being made in a post.

>Just like you cannot ignore the horror of slipping into a tyrannical police state like China.

You also cannot ignore a million+ dead people, many of whom were likely duped by charlatans into believing something that eventually lead to their demise. As you note later, you're fine with this harm, it's the cost of "freedom", except you don't actually want a private company to do as it pleases it sounds like, yet you also seem to lack any tangible action items or regulations you want applied. It seems like you just want to put your hands in your pockets. I dunno?
