Interesting. I had similar symptoms like migraine/brain fog, stiff neck and muscle tension as soon as October (winter in Central Europe) came. Tested for Vitamin D deficiency and had super low levels. Since taking supplements I feel good in winter for the first time in probably 5 years. I'm also a very outdoorsy person, so getting enough sun is not always a sure way wo have high levels of Vitamin D.
We're all matter: it matters, antimatter, dark matter and the most important matter: doesn't matter.

Humor and being kind, become a Buddhist since it doesn't matter but that's important.
Even that balanced diet will consist of less and less minerals and vitamins as time goes on and growers optimize for vegetable, fruit VOLUME instead of vitamin/mineral contents.

>>>

The level of decline varied depending on the specific nutrients and the type of fruit or vegetable, but it generally ranged from 6 percent for protein to 38 percent for riboflavin. In particular, calcium dropped most dramatically in broccoli, kale, and mustard greens, while the iron content took a substantial hit in chard, cucumbers, and turnip greens. Asparagus, collard greens, mustard greens, and turnip greens lost considerable amounts of vitamin C.

Further studies since then have backed up the case that nutrient levels are dissipating. Research in the January 2022 issue of the journal Foods found that while most vegetables grown in Australia had relatively similar iron content between 1980 and 2010, there were noteworthy drops in certain veggies. Declines in iron content, ranging from 30 to 50 percent, occurred for sweet corn, red-skinned potatoes, cauliflower, green beans, green peas, and chickpeas. By contrast, Hass avocados, mushrooms, and silverbeet (another name for chard) actually gained in iron.

Grains have also experienced declines, experts say. A study in a 2020 issue of Scientific Reports found that protein content in wheat decreased by 23 percent from 1955 to 2016, and there were notable reductions in manganese, iron, zinc, and magnesium, as well.

You are in control. You attaching your account to it is what is bricking it for anyone else. You can always remove your account from it and hand it to another entity. The only thing Apple is doing in these cases is saying no to letting someone else remove your account/mdm association.
You'd be surprised at the amount of companies that cheap out on MDM solutions - it's easier to keep track of a bunch of outlook icloud accounts than it is to get a mac and set up MDM to some companies.

Not saying it's right, but it's been done before - likely because you have an IT department that's exclusively Windows-based and you have a creative department that wants all Apple products... Either ignorance, cheapness, or unwillingness to learn.

Can you sell it to a friend, give him a legitimate receipt (from you) and have him go to Apple? (seems like a hack, but it checks the ownership box for your friend)
I can’t believe the HN consensus on this one! A system that relies on the original owner to perform some incantation or the device is e-waste? Really, that’s the best Apple could do?

I sympathize with the resellers here. Often times the original owner cannot be contacted. Maybe they are dead and the machine came form an estate sale. Maybe it was sold on consignment or something. Maybe the original owner is just very difficult to find.

I bought a MacBook off an eBay seller, and had to deal with this shit. It took the seller forever but by some miracle he was able to track down and contact the original owner so he could unlock it. Without this hassle, a perfectly good computer would have been e-waste in a landfill somewhere.

Frustrating the legitimate second hand market and the ecological impact of all this waste is a high price to pay for mere anti-theft. Companies are very eager to kill the secondary market for their goods, and accepting this scheme plays into Apple’s hands.
Because most of the time, interest in a topic is a function of plausibility. Most nootropics have little or nothing to indicate they work — not even a hint of something plausible.

Of course, it’s possible the scientific community is overlooking something promising. This has happened before. But that’s a dangerous bet for a career scientist to take.

Practically, if you want nootropics that work, and if you want to consume something whose long term side-effects are actually known, get an adderall prescription. (Or, stop trying to neurotically optimize every detail of your life and go outside.)

This is what happens when Intel's momentum from the past starts to eventually fade. It takes a long time for a large ship like Intel to lose momentum, but it has started and it will likely continue to slow down from here as long as AMD, ARM, Apple and now RISC-V keep the pace of their chip innovations.

Moderation. The hard part is Moderation.

Especially the larger you scale, the less this becomes a technical problem, and more of a 'how will people abuse this' problem.

Second hardest part? Paying for it. Streaming 1080 streams can get expensive. especially if it's unpaid. Costs grow exponentially with video quality. 4k is significantly more bandwidth.

there's tons of ways to stream video to people. that's the easy part.
> what if the hypothesis is wrong or unimplementable?

yep. the febrile nature of this decade means many hypotheses will be wrong.
No, Apple is clearly in control by being the only possible provider of accounts.

For example I could run my own account/password system, and lock my own phone if it is stolen. Or transfer that right to another organization.

Saying that "vendor can remotely brick the phone" is the only way to have this functionality is not true.
Ah got it. Yes I acknowledge that my response wasn't related to your comment.
The single genuine inefficiency of working from home is that it exposes a person's lack of discipline. They become more productive when all distractions are removed so they're forced to focus on one task at the detriment of everything else.

This turns into a form of self torture though, since the office is ripe with distractions that they have to power through to get their tasks done. But because they're not afforded the luxury of getting distracted by things they'd like, and they hate the office distractions, they'd rather be doing work. The overall experience is shitty in the end but at least they're getting some work done.

It sucks for the rest of us though, because now the self flagellation needs to be extended and we're all victims of presumption. "Since I can't get work done at home, then surely others can't as well! They're just sitting at home doing nothing, like I would be doing! Everyone needs to come back to the office now!"

Other than that, WFH was genuinely sucky for people with small children, because daycares were also closed during peak covid.

God Emperor is a slog, but it's IMHO brilliant in its own way. And along with the two books after it, it creates a whole new philosophical universe than the first three, which were a story about Paul. It's best to kind of treat it almost as two different series with God Emperor the bridge.

God Emperor and beyond are far more cerebral and philosophical, expressing some more far more abstract ideas Herbert had about man vs machine, liberty/freedom vs tyranny, etc. etc.

Unfortunately the second series was not completed. Herbert clearly had a direction he was going after Chapterhouse, but he wasn't able to follow through.
Strategy for a multibillion dollar behemoth is not the same as a strategy for a nimble startup.

For years Intel provided just enough cpu power and cultivated a broad ecosystem of software developers such that any new hardware solution had to compete against the enormously more fun and flexible general purpose software solutions running on windows (and before that, dos).

Custom closed source Hardware was a dead end. It either worked or it didn’t. Software could be infinitely flexible and was fast to iterate on. And every kid could train themselves to write software almost for free. This is why software ate the world.

Closed source and complex compiler toolchains with hardware interfaces that require closed source drivers are practically just as inflexible as hardware. They should be avoided at all costs.
I've liked Organic Maps for anchoring while sailing. Drop anchor, set a marker in OM, and have it as a backup source if I can't see the shore anymore during a storm (I've got other instruments).

Just been checking out OSMAnd+ from FDroid for one reason: depth contours for the Great Lakes. Seems reasonable from a quick check of some of my anchorages. Again, I have a back-up source for these as well: https://activecaptain.garmin.com/en-US/Map as well as paper & chartplotter. I'd love to see this depth layer in Organic Maps.
The main corrolarry is your user account.

One could convincingly argue that dead accounts are e-waste.

The main reason I guess we don't say that is because we have expiration policies.

But if you lose access to your, say, facebook account with 100GiB of uploaded content, then that content is going to be sitting consuming at least 300GiB of media (replication, backups etc;).

Thus: is that a problem?

I see a device like this as an extension of my self, having it "open for all" is not desirable; I want to knowingly give it to someone.

If someone takes it, or I do not unlock it, then I don't want the possibility for it to unlock. I paid for it, it's mine, in perpetuity until I say otherwise, even if I'm dead: since as I mentioned it's an extension of me... it is dead too.
I think the argument is, AI generated content is less crappy crap than the current crop.
Read Grammarly's privacy policy and then check with your legal team if installing a keylogger with very few assurances is something you're prepared to do. LanguageTool (with you running the server) is the more private/secure alternative, and it also supports ngrams (the "AI" part).

It's not really clear to me if this article is directed at scientists and engineers getting carried away or the general public. If the former, yes they should know better, but the general public is mostly not rational, contrary to what I used to think about the reasoning person. Many people attribute thoughts and feeling to their pets that they don't have. They think crystals have special powers. It's only natural that they will think AI have consciousness. I think as scientists and engineers we have a responsibility to prevent our AI creations from telling people to drink the poisoned Kool Aid or eat glass. Yann LeCun said they shut down Meta's chat AI because it told people that suicide had advantages and one can eat glass. Google is similarly cautious. OpenAI came along and let the cat out of the bag. I wonder if Microsoft has thought through what might happen if they hook it to Bing and it starts telling people crazy things. All it took was a couple of posts on 4chan to get the Q Anon movement off the ground.

anthropomorphize
attribute human characteristics or behavior to (a god, animal, or object).
"people's tendency to anthropomorphize their dogs"

numinous
having a strong religious or spiritual quality; indicating or suggesting the presence of a divinity.
"the strange, numinous beauty of this ancient landmark"

What is an example of numinous?
Something numinous has a strong religious quality, suggesting the presence of a divine power. When you enter a temple, church, or mosque, you might feel as though you've entered a numinous space.

Nothing about this article indicates that anyone thinks apes are “less evolved” than humans. Finding similarities between branches of the evolutionary tree is a common way to build knowledge about shared ancestors. We do the same within our species as well.

But if you want to be precise, I wouldn’t say our evolutionary pressures are the “exact same” at this point. There are indications that human evolution has accelerated as a consequence of our spread and technology, while other apes have remained relatively undisturbed in their EEAs up until the last few centuries.

Minor nitpick:

>The demo is particularly interesting because it doesn't use a font. Typefaces that look like handwriting have been around for over 80 years, but each letter comes out as a duplicate no matter how many times you use it.

Not really-really, there are simple systems that use (randomly) one among several very similar, yet slightly different, handwritten-like fonts characters.

The result is rather convincing, a couple examples:

Is that really true though? How many of the 2.7 million developers in the US are just your generic enterprise CRUD developer writing apps using Java, C#, etc?

On the other side, how many jobs are (were?) available to the generic software engineer who could do the DS&A monkey dance (junior/mid) and “design Twitter” and talk about “scope” and “impact@ in STAR format (senior).

Don’t they have satellites that pick up these readings? I’m always interested how top-secret technologies could filter into local law-enforcement or civil safety efforts, but are prevented from doing so because of the security classification. Like how many times, do you think a murder or something pertinent to solving that has been captured on some sort of satellite or surveillance feed, but it’s never released to that local jurisdictional investigation because The technologies involved are classified or some such.

At some point Intel has to face up to a wrong vision and the fact that "the chips suck".

Ever since the iPhone came out Intel has been distracted by phone envy and they won't stop until the average PC has worse performance than the cheapest Android "smartphone".

One consequence of Clayton Christensen's work is that companies like Intel are too concerned about being "disrupted" so instead of serving their existing customers they throw them under the bus in the name of customers and applications that aren't a sure thing. The effect of it is to make it even easier for disrupters to eat their lunch because incumbents fail even defending their home turf -- just trying to compete with disrupters does nothing to overcome the factors that Christensen points out that make it difficult or impossible for incumbents to compete with disrupters on their level.

The whole branding around bodies of water has been a disaster since their product roadmap went off the rails. You hear about some chip like "Shit Creek" years before it is planned to come out, it is delayed a few more years, by the time you can buy it, you have been hearing about it for so long that it sounds obsolete like the IBM 360 or the PDP-11. They should try something very simple such as having a different name for a chip when it is in development and has been released.

The layoff Intel needs is the management team and board of directors. They need to put some randos who actually use computers in charge. They might start to realize that when your Windows laptop crashes four times a day and says it has something to do with power management, that customers don't want Rube Goldberg schemes that might save power, they want machines that don't crash.
I love OsmAnd for all outdoors related activities. The trails are well defined, navigation is good and gives a good estimate, maps are configurable with all you need, recording works well and spits out a gpx.

There are some quirks, and elevation in both tracking and planning is often off (I think it might try to use a too fine granularity).

But usability wise I didn't find anything that compares, even Gaia - which I still use when I need precise terrain (their 3d mode is just incredible) or some much more obscure trail that's not in OsmAnd
Morally? Yes. Strategically? Not optimal. :/
No, google docs is not just text entry, it is much more complicated than that due to synchronization and they did not try to optimize it well IMO. Text entry, even with highlighting and rich text, can be fast with web app, see VSCode and markdown applications for example.

As an example, see Atom vs VSCode. We thought building a code editor with electron will lead to something slow like Atom, but m$ later proved that it is possible to build something fast. Perhaps not as simple as native, but it can be done.
I'm not an expert either, but my understanding is that it's actually the opposite. From what I've seen, geocoders can find an address great when there's an exact match whether it's a point or area/shape. But they struggle to extrapolate or interpolate to find a spot along a road. ("Range")
Not to negate your point, but a related pondering : I would assume that the Venn diagram of companies that make claim on property created on their laptops ; vs companies that let you install fresh OS and software from image and repository of your choice and access work network / store proprietary data ; is practically zero.

(If you did not install fresh OS from image of your choice, then you did not install software from scratch and should not be confident what's in your work laptop and what it's doing / monitoring)

This triple dash thingy (≡) is in this case "identical to" Unicode character, so this is what you'd most probably hear from the screen reader. Other pages (mis)use similar characters, for example "Trigram for heaven". Not very helpful.

Truly accessible active elements must communicate their function through meaningful text, not cryptic astral Unicode from exotic blocks.

Indeed. The receipt should serve as proof of purchase from the purchaser to the vendor. I'm sure Apple does have proof on their side, likely even tied to the serial number, credit card, Apple ID, etc., but going to an Apple Store and asking them to verify your identity and connect the dots... that's probably out of scope for their everyday support. OP would need to work with a higher tier of support to reestablish ownership and receipt, which maybe isn't unreasonable to do.
Lol.

TLDR is that you seem to be right (with the caveat that "a doctor who doesn't really care" seems to describe the majority of doctors)... but that still doesn't really explain why someone would fake autism to get access to amphetamines.
Maybe I am missing a point, but both Amazon and Microsoft have devices that they manufacture and distribute. While they may not be profitable at the price they are sold they provide value to customers that isn't conjured from air. Additionally they also sell access to data services, while the data may not by physical, the data centers are physical objects that are designed and built by both AWS and Microsoft.
