Isn't China known for crappy stuff like selling say, several tonnes of copper only to find out upon delivery that the purity is absolute shit?

My only personal experience with Chinese manufacturing is a company I worked for having a case for a product manufactured there, had our own industrial designer who came up with something beautiful, found a manufacturer and started getting sample cases in then eventually larger batches.

2 months later, we see our company's case listed all over Alibaba/Aliexpress.

Of course Apple gets good results from China, they have the $$$ to avoid the usual scams/corruption. But a smaller business/start-up will still be taken advantage of, imo.

And say you want to start a business there, doesn't Chinese law still stipulate that 51% of any business in China has to be owned by your Chinese partner? If I move to China right now and start a life there I don't believe I'd be allowed to start a business.

There are no axioms in philosophy, in math 1+1 = 2. That's an axiom.
Within philosophy however, there's not one type of philosophy that is right, it's subjective so no.

What part of the article has it wrong? It says:

>Unlike latex or rubber weather balloons which inflate and stretch as they rise into lower atmospheric pressures, these mylar balloons can't stretch, so their fully inflated ground size will be the same as their size at high altitudes, meaning the pico balloon won't get much bigger than 32".

The parts that mention expansion say they're referring to latex balloons.

>Factual correctness is not very important, you don't have to trust it.

If these chat bots are going to replace or compete with the traditional search interface, then correctness is absolutely key.

When a traditional search engine points you to some spammy site, you have far more context to decide for yourself how much credibility you ascribe to it. You may know the site from earlier visits. You can see whether it's completely ad infested and what the likely business model is. You can see what else is on the site. You can check who the publisher is, etc.

But when a chat bot delivers results in a conversational style, there is absolutely no indication as to whether a particular claim is fact or fiction. If the bot provides links to sources that's great, but then you're back to square one reading through 10 paragraphs of blog spam trying to filter out the one bit that may answer your question.

Also, the way in which these bots fail compared to traditional content farms and spammy blogs is very different. These sites tend to copy stuff from elsewhere. They may repeat falsehoods published by others. But they are unlikely to just make up numbers and present them as fact.

We have certain standards of language that may be inaccessible to someone who is not a native speaker and does not live in a native english speaking country, it shouldn't take away from the meaning of what people who use inappropriate words are trying to say.

I read the article, but not the paper. The article's quite popsci, I think.

No doubt I misunderstood, but it sounds like circular reasoning:

* Cosmic expansion of spacetime causes expansion of black holes

* An expanded black hole must have greater mass

* Increasing mass of black holes results in cosmic expansion of spacetime

I had also understood that cosmic expansion affects the empty space between galaxies, and doesn't affect concentrations of mass like galaxies and black holes. IOW, expansion causes galaxies to move further apart, but not stars in galaxies. If that's right (I assume it isn't), then cosmic expansion shouldn't be able to cause a black hole to expand.
Every area of human cognition is affected by philosophy. Mathematics certainly merits its own philosophic treatment.

A simple yet important example is treatment of integers vs. real numbers.

In reality, integers map to the counting of discrete entities. Reals map to measurement of the attributes of entities. 'Entity' and 'Attribute' are already in the philosophic realm because they're fundamental concepts. These are important and valid distinctions.

Far more can be said about these kind of philosophic classifications, and better understanding of them will lead to a better grasp of the connections between mathematics and the real world.

Yup. You run into that all the time in abstract algebra. Although people usually don’t like to touch the equality sign; the usual practice (based on my limited exposure) is to invent equivalent operator notations.
>That directly explains the hard problem of consciousness.

You seem to be conflating explaining why this problem is hard with explaining the solution to the problem. It is not a solved problem. Efforts to circumscribe discussion and base it on sound logic are laudable.

But by no means does this one article solve this open problem.
Being stirred by your last sentence, I have a lot of trouble reading some philosophy. I have read your comment several times, and I am still not sure what it is saying.

> I do have to note that the debate of "constructivism" vs. "platonism" doesn't really exist in Philosophy per se, because it relies on a kind of basic misunderstanding of Plato in general.

What is the misunderstanding, exactly? Did you end up addressing this? The next sentence is a long run-on, and I'm getting lost in what you're saying Plato actually said versus what you think people think he said. And I think I agree with another commenter that you are confusing Platonic and platonic.

And what does philosophy say about constructivism? If it doesn't address it versus some notion of idealized objects existing, then why does that matter to mathematics? It is a legitimate line of thinking and isn't an exclusively philosophical subject.

> Of course, many have attempted to answer the question of the psychological/biological explanation for how humans have shared concepts like this and shared, intelligible language. The most prominent thinkers of the 20th century, on both "sides" if you will, were Lacan on the "continental" end, and Chomsky on the "analytic" side. (Even though most Anglo-American--i.e. Analytic--philosophers would not accept Chomsky's logic as valid, and Lacan often referenced Anglo-American philosophy in his work...the categories are basically meaningless at this point.)

It is definitely the case. I guess that MFi does not prevent third-party chargers to work with a lightning cable, but it certainly does require authentication for data transfer.

Now, iOS supports ethernet-over-lightning, so you can plug an ethernet adapter and have it connect to your router. But it is illegal to make an accessory that would "integrate" an ethernet adapter. If you make an accessory, it has to go through the MFi protocol.

Here is an example: if you take a DJI drone and connect the remote controller to your iOS (lightning) device, it goes over MFi. It would be illegal (as per the Apple ToS) for DJI to use ethernet over lightning there.

They are already selling the Vindriktning for a long time. It doesn't have a screen, just a traffic lights style indicator, and the thresholds are quite high. However it costs like $10 and if you buy a $3 esp module and spend few minutes soldering you can get it integrated into home assistant.

This new device looks nice but due to the display I expect the price to be much higher.

Yeah, this is the downside of AI: while it might make some kinds of work more efficient, it makes other kinds of work less efficient by enabling the construction of lots of "fake" inputs which have to be discarded.

It's probably going to further the destruction of text-based social media and force a retreat of people back into their social, political, and geographical circles. You will have to stay in the "bubble" because almost everything you encounter outside the bubble will be fraudulent AI content.
It will depend on your use case.

For an average site, that just wants basic CDN facilities (cache assets; maybe do some rule processing to control cache of "dynamic" pages etc) there are dozens.

The issue comes in a few of the niche uses.

A client of mine has been using CF for the public site for several years, but until recently used S3 + Cloudfront for content that users download (essentially purchased digital files). That content is now also served via Cloudflare, using tokens (similar to pre-signed URLs for Cloudfront, so the cache can validate that a user should have access to a file).

CF don't cache all the downloadable content (anything over 512MB is excluded from caching unless you pay for Enterpri$e level plan) but they also don't have per-{m,g,t}byte transfer pricing either.

This is obviously not a problem for a lot of use-cases, but for anyone offering downloadable content, or large volumes of network traffic, it's going to be hard to find a CDN that can compete on price with Cloudflare.
Then why delay any response by invoking the reporter->public->politics loop?

Captain Obvious checking in: the name (which Engadget classified as "tongue-twisting") literally means "wind strength", or "wind speed" as its called in actual English. It's two words: "vind" is (surprise) "wind" and "styrka" is "strength". The latter can be pronounced decently by pretending the "y" is perhaps a double "e", or something.

It is, admittedly, is a bit weird of a name for a sensor that measures air quality but on the other hand it's Ikea and they name things after their own mind.

> there's really no way to keep anything secure unless you use a machine that's over 20 years old.

This is nonsense. Security isnt a binary thing, and even if it was, you're still vulnerable to wrench-ops. If your threat model is that you suspect your procedure manufacture have backdoored your CPU, you better be running your own fab, air gapping your machines, and desoldering input ports.

Meanwhile for probably 95% of people and businesses out there, keeping windows up to date, 2FA required, encryption in transit and at rest, and regular tested backups is enough.
I'm finding it hard to parse your argument. Are you saying that large organizations would rather have cheap-but-mediocre programmers than good-but-expensive programmers? Why would this be a benefit to them, surely they want good programmers?
What does it take to produce cheap CO2 sensors? Ikea would be my best bet to provide a large enough market for good-enough sensors to bring prices down. A CO2 sensor should be in every classroom and every office, but it's not affordable enough yet.

Actually, USB is generally a security concern (some corporations disable the USB ports in their computers). So there is a case to make for security by having more control on the data that goes over USB.

But I don't think that it is about authenticating the cable. Rather it's about authenticating the accessory. Which I believe makes sense in terms of security (well Android doesn't do it with AOAP and nobody cares, but that's a design decision).

Aha, no! Downscaling *into a discrete space by an arbitrary amount* is absolutely filling in missing information.

Take the naive case where you downscale a line of four pixels to two pixels - you can simply discard two of them so you go from `0,1,2,3` to `0,2`. It looks okay.

But what happens if you want to scale four pixels to three? You could simply throw one away but then things will look wobbly and lumpy. So you need to take your four pixels, and fill in a missing value that lands slap bang between 1 and 2. Worse, you actually need to treat 0 and 3 as missing values too because they will be somewhat affected by spreading them into the middle pixel.

So yes, downscaling does have to compute missing values even in your naive linear interpolation!
