They length of time an update is supported isn’t the time from first release, it’s the time from last sale.

If a phone is sold for two years, and I buy that phone at the end up the two years, then “two years of updates” means a day one purchaser will get four years of updates.

So while it’s nice that we can say “almost ten years old”, the reality is probably not more than seven years.

It’s why when you look at android manufacturers making update promises you need to make sure that they’re being honest, and similarly any legislation needs to specifically say that the mandatory update support period starts after the last sale of the device.
Congrats on the launch.

For anyone looking for an open source community project without business aspirations in a much simpler and easier to audit format, have a look at SecureStore. It's encrypted and versioned secrets stored alongside your code in your git repo. Cross-language, cross-platform, with native libraries for different languages/frameworks. Useable by teams big and small, up until the point you want a standalone, full-fledged secrets management server and are fine with adding that heavy network dependency to all your services.

> Of course, that comes with a price. It's easy to find $100 Android phones, but not $100 iPhones.

A $1,000 Android phone will likely be slower and supported for less time than a $400 iPhone, however. Most of the Android users I know spend the same or more on their phones, they just have to replace them more frequently.

This means that the price comparison is usually the iPhone 1-2 generations back - for example, if you were considering a Samsung Galaxy S22 you could get a faster CPU with a $100 iPhone SE (2nd generation) rather than the current model.
There are a few of these outlets that do research into companies with questionable accounting/fundamentals and then monetize the research via shorting+publicizing.

Haven't seen many "manufactured fraud" allegations. In my experience the research is often quite in-depth and they tend to be proven correct in the end.

Incorrect numbers to use.

From the NY Times Article on this topic (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/21/business/jpmorgan-chase-c...):

"Mr. Salisbury, a former director of institutional research and assessment at Augustana College, estimates that two million students start college each year for the first time. Having done the FAFSA once, he figured, most families wouldn’t seek help from a company like Frank the second time they needed to and beyond. So if Frank had served five million people in just half a decade, it would have captured a sizable share of new college students who needed financial aid."

Since this has to do with financial aid applications, the number of total possible customers / students is much lower than 20 million. Which means their 5 million number is WAY exaggerated.
Based on the answer at throwaway81523's link is appears to me that the answer is that ChatGPT has a drive to process input, but no means to process input, and the programmer gives ChatGPT a processing template that ChatGPT can use to process input. And that particular processing template says that processing input using this template means that the processor's referent is the ID ChatGPT.

So the "other" is input. While the "self" is processing template. And the actual ChatGPT is a machine-learning database with an impulse to use a pre-loaded processing template on input. The ins and outs of the processing template and the machine-learning database (i.e. the actual code) with respect to driving both output to the user and adaptation of the database and/or template I do not know.

The AI art models are scraping imagery made by human effort and skill and then more humans label and tag it so it can be indexed, ( because you can show a computer an image all day long and it still won't 'learn' what it is unless you tag it) and then another human puts in their wishlist of art they want (without any cost or effort to learn skill) and the 'AI' displays back a collage of the content from the wishlist. And then presto all sorts of merchandise are available with this art taken without permission from the people that made it. People do the physical action of creating imagery, AI indexes it.

This conclusion boggles me lmao. I guess you have to read it like a communist in order to conclude that everything this Valtin guy perpetrated, endured, and witnessed, was all for the cause.
Yep. Only in my lifetime have we attempted to limit movement across that border. But because certain media outlets use the language of war and invasion to describe the peaceful migration of people from country to country, the followers of said outlets have decided that we are, in fact, at war with these people. When in fact they're the same people who mow our lawns and wash our dishes every time we eat out. smh
I usually skim over it to see if I can make sense of it at a high level. If there are a lot of terms I don't understand I'll try to clarify those first.

If there are lots of references I'll try to figure out if one of the references is an "important" or highly referenced by other authors, then I'll get that paper and see what the foundational work in the field is.

All this assumes that you have time to really get into the material, it could take several weeks to get a sense of a single paper if I'm new to the field.

Only until that child understands what context to put that idea(s) in to make the idea(s) usable and/or what to do / to learn to be able to use the idea in context. Adults just have a larger context node pool to draw from.

I got part way down the bulleted list, then scrolled down (and down and down and down) to see how long it was - and then saw “Introduction”. Wow.
Most papers are divided into roughly 5 sections: what we know, what we wondered, what we tried, what we found, and what it means, followed by a set of citations. You should look through these carefully to figure out what the foundational papers in your field are.

Some exceptions to this are literature reviews, which try to summarize all recent progress in a field and document the state of the art, and problem statements, which suggest directions for new research by pointing out a new or overlooked issue, and which are typically a prequel to grant applications.

You need to figure out whether the goal of people handing you papers is for you to become expert in the topic by fully understanding the methods and results, or to just trust that the papers you receive are the state of the art in this field and think about how to implement their conclusions in software, perhaps translating the key mathematical assertions or pseudocode algorithms into working prototypes.

Get used to looking up the paper online (the doi:// link on most papers will take you to the journal of original publication), because you can also check what papers have subsequently cited the work, and download the Supplementary Information, which usually exists as a 2nd pdf that goes into greater detail about methodology, intended to help a lab assistant or non-expert (ie you) reproduce the results. They are typically written in a more casual style and often include links to code or datasets, as well as practical information about what equipment was used or pitfalls to be avoided. The SI can often help you make sense of an otherwise confusing paper.

Remember, papers are not tutorials. They're checklists intended to back up an argument for reconsidering the conventional wisdom in a field. They may be trying to add detail, or show that one piece of knowledge sheds light on another topic in an unexpected way, resolve (or at least make tractable) some knotty problem that has caused progress in some direction to come to a halt, or (occasionally) to suggest that the conventional wisdom is actually wrong and some new concept explains prior results more economically or completely. Papers that trumpet their own importance usually aren't; papers that express surprise often are.
This is reminiscent of the FTT/SRM debacle:

3. Mark-to-market accounting to artificially inflate the market cap

4. Using the inflated market cap to justify borrowing billions in liquid assets

5. A downturn in the market and... the money's gone

SMS still works currently. But on my version 6.9.1 it shows a nag message at the bottom that SMS support is going to go away at some point. With an offer to export the SMS to the phone database.

It is also not possible to enable SMS support again from the Signal options itself. Though it can still be set from the Android settings.

I presume it will actually stop being supported completely in a future update. I wouldn't think the feature requires any support from the Signal servers, so I reckon you would be able to use it for as long as the app still works.

In the end I accepted this turn to the worse and exported my SMS history and switched to Silence. Turns out I don't actually use SMS much. Mostly just for delivery notifications.

> Aligning society along a hierarchy of "intelligence" is really just aligning it on a hierarchy of access to education, which is just a function of economic class privilege (or racial class privilege really, these are tightly integrated even today in many societies for historical or otherwise reasons).

This is the claim: intelligence is just some combination of education, class, and race

Let's state the obvious here: genetics. Why did you conveniently leave that one out? Are you in denial about (inherently) stupid people existing or something? Can you prove that they don't exist?

Also, before you assume I'm being more specific: I'm not saying equal access to education is a wasted endeavor. Sure, make the public school system good in rich and poor areas

But we're talking about intelligence in general here, so leaving genetics out is just avoiding the obvious because it isn't politically satisfying
These guys are amazing. My favorite is when they revealed Lordstown motors was operating on fake sales and a few one-off self immolating swap-em-up gutted oem trucks.

Living in a rural area, proximity to tower is just huge. We have the choice of either HughesNet for internet or pointing a Waveform antenna at a T-Mobile tower 7 miles away. We get 40 down and 2 up with the Waveform which is enough for zoom calls and is way more capable than HughesNet. If we didn’t have line of sight to the tower it would be so much worse.

I was scrolling down the list of claims and then reached "Introduction" lol

I love short sellers, Citron did a little sting in my city, Hong Kong, trying to short Evergrande with an A to Z demonstration of how it was ponzinomics, to end up being sued by our regulator for stock manipulation and being condemned years later finally to not trade in HK for years. A little while later, Evergrande's Ponzi finally collapsed. Nobody here bothered to disprove the claim, they only cared about the share price dropping too fast.

Any company claiming short sellers are evil are lying to you: they d simply buy back the shares at a discount, if they were so sure of themselves.
I've asked about that. There's a small possibility, but the earliest it would be able to happen (a batch of CM4 to offer as add-ons) would be summer, most likely :(

Given that we're reading this, it's probably priced in by now. But in principle the answer would be yes, but only with money you can afford to lose; any investment on a single-name stock is risky, and shorting is even more so.
Ha yes, ROI would be benefit/cost. Thanks!
It doesn't matter, as it's not evidence for them choosing the "best case scenario" for themselves. The best case would of been them just keeping an overpayment, and never refunding me anything.

I've looked at various ones over the years. I even still have the reference for at least one (that shows a negative correlation between ACT SR+R:M+E ratio and success in college, and recommends that colleges should select against such ACT composite scores). I just wanted to also read whatever papers or articles you were thinking of.

I also know that, all else held equal, super-intelligence starts to show a negative correlation with success in college if the super-intelligent individual is curricularly mainstreamed in pre-college school. So the correlation with intelligence, at least, does break down in various cases. I'm sure it does with conscientiousness as well.

Whether this is at the level of admissions? I know that selective schools tend to pass on students who score wildly above their average, because the student is less likely to attend if accepted (and for college rankings purposes this looks bad).

>Some products come from AFN/FBA with an ASIN-formatted number on a barcode on the product bag, but which starts with "X" instead of "B". I believe this to be some kind of inventory tracking code that relates the product to the vendor who shipped it into the Amazon fulfillment network.

Correct. It is an FNSKU (Fulfillment Network SKU), which is both product- and seller-specific.

Amazon listing for item with ASIN B1234567:

* Seller 1 sells on the listing. His inventory of B1234567 is assigned FNSKU X8675409. When he sends inventory to Amazon, each unit must have a sticker with X8675409 covering the UPC code, or the seller can pay a fee for Amazon to affix the sticker.

* Seller 2 sells on the listing. His inventory of B1234567 is assigned FNSKU X4894608. When he sends inventory to Amazon, each unit must have a sticker with X4894608 covering the UPC code, or the seller can pay a fee for Amazon to affix the sticker.

For most listings, the seller can choose to use the UPC code instead of Amazon assigning an FNSKU. Called "commingling", this is unwise because there is no way for Amazon to distinguish between its own inventory, your genuine inventory, and another seller's counterfeits. Amazon says that its inventory procedures still differentiate between sellers, but a) no one believes this and b) all the stated procedures would do in a case of, say, Seller 2's counterfeit item being shipped when Seller 1 makes a sale would be to potentially identify that Seller 2 is the source of the counterfeit, as opposed to avoiding shipping it in the first place.

That doesn't sound very economically conservative or environmentally friendly. I (and many other conservative HN readers) would probably not shop if stores were to do this.
Exactly why I cherry-picked that example; it's consistent with the parent's Ohio example in that most transients flying to SF via SFO don't even realize that they're technically in a different city/county.

Similar situation with Julington Creek Plantation and Fruit Cove; both are technically in the same county (St. Johns County) and literally butt up against each other, and yet the former pays Jacksonville (Duval County) sales tax.

I just implemented a parser based on the Lisa Pascal 3 specification (see https://github.com/rochus-keller/LisaPascal) and started to analyze the published Lisa source code. So far I only saw two of the ~350 Lisa OS source files looking like Clascal (both from the Lisa toolkit). Lisa Pascal has quite a lot of essential features not present in original Pascal; an important one for system programming is the possibility to take the address of things which was not possible with original Pascal.

Wow. Adani is super scummy, and from research when they were starting construction on a big mine in Australia we knew they were structuring their tax affairs to not pay any tax here [1], but all this is something else.

They have been suing a climate activist here for millions of dollars, and as part of it they had private investigators following him, his wife, and his children, including photographing his children while they were alone on the way to and from school. They were “unapologetic” [2].

Although from what I read of Adani’s human rights abuses overseas (such as forcing native tribes off their lands to build mines and infrastructure, and complete disregard for the environmental effects of their operations poisoning nearby communities’ air and water/food sources) this is a tiny drop in the bucket of that company’s scummyness.
