>I guess it was plastics companies like Dow that convince us that recycling was just as good. I have frequently encountered the attitude of "these single use plastics are ok to use since we can just recycle them".

That's funny because I've never heard anyone saying this, yet every time there's a discussion about recycling comments like this inevitably show up.
Not they haven’t this phone isn’t anymore repairable than an iPhone it might be just a bit more serviceable.

Users can’t do board or component level repairs, and Nokia isn’t making schematics, diagnostic software and access to low level firmware that will be needed to independently repair this phone available.

User replaceable battery is nice, however every other component is reliant on a supply on parts being made available for the long run which is unlikely to happen since there will never be a healthy supply chain for niche devices.

I’ve serviced multiple iPhones replacing a battery and broken screens with no equipment other than what came in the kit (and an hair dryer) and not the Apple one.

Yes it’s a PITA but honestly they open easily with a hair dryer and a suction cup.

What is far more important on the “right to repair” front is long term software support which the lack of bricks far more devices than any hardware failures, a healthy supply chain and not DRMing components.

The former 2 is something that iFixIt always seems to ignore especially the first one the latter is something I that should be the focus of RtR legislation together with a guarantee for parts being made available for a period of X years from when the devices officially stop being sold just in the same way that car manufacturers and in the past appliance manufacturers were forced to.

Shame no compass or gyroscope, both of which I value. I hope the idea catches on though the toolkit looks suspiciously like ever other mobiles. Lift screen with sucker while prying with pick. Then unscrew battery and admittedly wrestle with glue... Still a way from the old fashioned, pop off the plastic back and lift the battery straight out in 20 seconds.
If GrapheneOS could support this phone that would be a killer combo.
Perhaps wrap it in gift-paper then :)

While the author's prediction may or may not come true, this text has a weird conspiracy vibe in my opinion. Especially parts trying to imply that by some mysterious way NN are trained on GPUs and manufacturers are pushing AI to sell more cards, not unlike the rush to get GPUs for crypto. It's almost as if GPUs have been specifically built to handle massive parallelism with specialized models offering machine learning optimizations! However, the cards used for these vocations are different: while you used to be able to mine cryptocurrencies with consumer GPUs, training AI models is done on professional hardware with more emphasis on VRAM. Training something serious like ChatGPT is far from easy (if at all possible) for a startup. And AI projects have arguably become more useful to the everyday consumer than crypto currency ever was. Either way, AI is certainly a huge buzzword, but for now, it's living up to the hype. Who knows what'll happen three years into the future.

Which rule exactly? There are a number of rules interacting which make buybacks in the US better right now, it's not just a rule that says "buybacks will have better tax treatment than dividends". The dividend tax rate could be changed to zero tomorrow (or the tax treatment on dividends could become like other countries who don't double tax) and buybacks would be less favorable. Taxes are complicated, there will always be one choice which is better than another from a tax perspective.
My college's CS program did the same, but with Scheme back in the day.

I can't complain, since I was introduced to Emacs along the way, which I still use heavily to this day. And while I don't really use Scheme anymore, it made Elisp trivial to figure out.

Read it again, but this time turn off your preconception. I asked a question I wanted to hear a legitimate answer for. I am very interested to hear where this is headed (to the best of our ability to predict). The results we can get with sufficient computing power is quite interesting, but is it reaching the point of rapidly diminishing returns? What's the next step in this evolution, beyond making the training faster or adding more parameters to the model?
Agreed! Here you are more a patron or sponsor who's disinterestedly giving spare money for something you think is good for the rest of the people.

Within the next five years or so there will be a completely new hardware paradigm based on something like "crossbar arrays" or memristors that is orders of magnitude more efficient for ML tasks. This provides an opportunity for new startups. They will eventually probably be acquired by Nvidia, Intel or AMD though.
Russia is a mostly flat country with very few natural barriers to invasion, such as mountains or large bodies of water. It has nine gaps through which other countries can invade. For Russia, this entire conflict is about halting NATO expansion and closing those gaps. For the United States, this conflict is about sticking to a long-held neoliberal/neoconservative plan to replace all governments with Western-style democracies. Other goals include sending a message to China that any invasion of Taiwan would be repelled militarily. If this war goes well for Nuland, Sullivan, Biden, Tapper and company, the hope is to carve Russia up and make efficient use of its natural resources in the world's first truly global empire.

The primary concern that I and many others have is that things will not go to plan. If the American public does not start paying attention to what's going on, it is possible that the conflict there will escalate to a hot war that will engulf all of eastern Europe. If the West manages to win to the point of overpowering the Russians, they are likely to use nuclear weapons to rescue the situation. The likely response from the United States at that point will be to pull the plug on the entire war effort because the alternative then will be global thermonuclear ominicide. The result of this path is a total restructuring of Europe on an economic, political and military level. (Needless to say, this is not a desired outcome for comfortable elites who stand to lose a great deal from changes they have not anticipated.)

Please don't downvote me; I am not a propagandist for any side. I am merely concerned about very real and immediate risks that the media is failing to report. I might be wrong, but the least you can do is to hear out an alternative view.

I'm excited to share my latest project - an Android app that lets you create customized stories for kids with the help of AI technology. With just a few taps, you can choose characters and categories, and the app will generate a unique and engaging story that's tailored to your child's interests. As a parent myself, I know how important it is to encourage children to read and foster their imaginations. This app does just that, all while making story time more fun and interactive. So if you're looking for a new way to engage your child's creativity, give my app a try! And as always, I welcome any feedback or suggestions you may have

Do they seriously lock the bootloader of a "repairable" phone? That's the most important feature for me, which has prolonged the life of all my Android devices by several years.
That's because it actually doesn't make sense. They're confused, not you. Source: college physics.
I very rarely see my desktop, since I almost always have a full-size terminal window with a split running, along with a browser window, Finder, VSCode, Preview, Pages, and other apps open. I think the use case this is designed for is people like that who are rotating between browser tabs a lot and not minimizing everything to see their desktop.
Yeah my wife’s old iPhone 8 Plus still gets updates, still runs. Many of my android devices from that time are dead, no more updates, and/or borderline unusable due to random android slowdown performance issues.

In fact running across that old phone is what convinced me to switch.
> Michael Jordan is an interesting example because he eventually did stop playing for the Bulls (because he retired) and then it took the Bulls six years before they made the playoffs again.

I don’t see how this is a counterpoint. 100/100 NBA fans, players, and executives would take paying MJ and winning six in a row if the trade off was not making the playoffs for six years after. Are you saying it would have been better for the Bulls to not pay MJ, not win any championships, but consistently make the playoffs for 12 years instead?
From my recollection (I haven't re-read it recently), it's pretty easy to skip the raw chem stuff if you're not interested.

Though that may be a skill I acquired from my youth misspent reading Alexandre Dumas and Jules Vernes (as writers of serials, padding chapters was a very common occurrence which makes for frustrating reads when you hit 5 pages of fishes in 20000 leagues under, the ability to quickly skim and skip is necessary to reach the end).
I'm happy about this! But, while repairability is always great, a major (maybe the biggest) part of phone obsolescence is due to software. 2 or 3 years of updates are a joke, Apple does up to 8.

The best hope here is that this phone's repairability will attract a software hacking community to provide inofficial updates, but what a terrible thing to have to rely on. Besides: Phones by other brands like Pocophone are plenty repairable, being made for the indian market, and have good community software support.

The real next innovation for an Android device maker will be providing at least 5 years of updates (I'm well aware of the challenges involved, but these are not that hard, make it so).
I'm confused by the tone of your post.

You sound like you are disparaging what I said as being "semantic games", but then you go on to agree with me with.

> C. There is a method of determining which work "generates income" and "needs to be performed"

To me this reads almost exactly with what I said:

"At best they are planning about how to do the work, or what the build with the work"

It seems we both agree there is a clear distinction between "The method of determining which work [to do]" and the work itself.

Glad we agree!

Right but the eventual discussion is that we need to be able to understand and control the generated bytecode, if possible at all.

> number of unelected PMs

All PMs are "unelected", or at least not elected via a general election, beyond their election as an MP. There's a reason they're called a Prime Minister, not a president or similar. The UK doesn't directly elect the head of the UK government, and it never has. The PM is elected is the leader of the party that gains enough seats in parliament to form a government. Enough seats is determined by the simple question of "would the formed government have a reasonable ability to pass legislation in parliament, as is needed to conduct the business of government", nothing else.

This is the UK chosen form of democracy, the US may prefer a more direct form of democracy, but that's not without its issues either.
You have plenty to hide. Fortunately, nobody cares about you, at least not at the moment.

Put another way: the question of whether or not you have "something to hide" isn't yours to answer. Your user name is German; you should understand this better than anyone.
> If you’d have presented anybody reading this with ChatGPT two years ago, they simply would not have believed it was possible.

I'm having a hard time believing it now, it's just an amazing amount of progress in a short amount of time.

> I despise this kind of writing

Me too. It's suggesting that there's some kind of cabal that somehow decided it was time to crash crypto and get everyone to go after AI. Are there bandwagons? Definitely and they eventually go too far as with crypto - and quite possibly AI will experience something similar if it doesn't deliver on it's promises. But it's not like there's a bunch of guys in a smoke filled room somewhere who are driving this. Crypto was largely driven by cheap money (0% interest rates for several years) and artificially low electricity prices. Investment in AI now with much higher interest rates means that some people think they're going to get a better return on their money. It seems less bubbly in this kind of monetary environment.
Nowadays with email, slack, etc meetings really should be reserved to must-have rare scenarios, most of the stuff can be done (better) asynchronously I think.

meetings are still useful for: brainstorms, 1:1 discussions, vote for resolutions, that's about it.

I have mixed feeling about agile's daily stand-up meeting, I think it could be resolved via slack discussion? or just zoom call with fixed time length, e.g. 15 minutes.

The DMCA lets google crowdsource “upload disney’s catalog to youtube, slap ads on them, and profit while cementing our monopoly”. It also let’s them arbitrarily hobble open source web browsers and android forks with DRM.

As other have noted, the lack of updates and locked boot loader make this a no go, but the state of fully open-source, non-Android phones OSs is likewise abysmal. As such, leaving the iPhone isn’t going to happen for me. I’m still using my iPhone 11, and it’s still nice and speedy, the battery is fine, it gets updates quickly, and generally doesn’t annoy me too much. If the PinePhone or PinePhone Pro had a solid, fully functional, open source, non-Android operating system that was also good with power management… I would switch without hesitation. That’s just a super high bar, and I don’t expect anyone to actually pull it off any time soon.
I have a G20, and it's pretty vanilla Android stock.

I'm actually excited for this. My family tends to shop in this price range, and you've got a lot of fairly interchangeable phones out there. It ends up being sort of frustrating because there's no obvious right choice.

Now you have a simple argument. You don't have to deep dive explain to Mom the difference between CPUs or manufacturer update policies, just "If this one breaks, it can be fixed without a huge production number."

There was a time when one of the (admittedly secondary) arguments for buying an iPhone or Galaxy S (as opposed to a cheaper alternative) was that the local fix shops had a lot of dead scrap units and could arrange for a cheap quick fix, while if you bought a Nokia or Umidigi, you were waiting weeks for them to get parts and it was probably twice the cost because they didn't want to work on a phone they weren't wildly familiar with.

As someone who struggles mightily with anxiety and a mood disorder, breathing does help and I practice it regularly. However, CBT and mindfulness have provided so much more in terms of calming and reducing anxious thoughts. Yes, it takes a long time to internalize the thought patterns necessary, but once you do, nothing can rattle you unless you allow it. It provides a level of self control that no breathing technique I've ever tried can match. Do the work, meditate, and self assess as much as you can and you will see the benefits.

> I am not familiar with Python Object Model enough but, if your Python example still allocates an object with slots for all 47 other fields besides the three selected, then you may still find yourself under circumstances you would rather have a "slim" version of the model and reduce memory allocation. This may be needed when you need to load dozens of thousands of entries into memory for processing or similar.

Alternatively you can also tell the ORM to return a dictionary rather than a model instance: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/ref/models/querysets/#...

For example, you may get a list of dictionaries with only "field1", "field2" and "field3" from a model like this:

SomeModel.objects.filter(...).values("field1", "field2", "field3")

[{"field1": "foo", "field2": "bar", "field3": "baz"}]
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

I have 5+ year old Android phones that have no issue with banking apps. I'm not sure where this rhetoric is coming from, but it doesn't align with my experience on Android.

Capital one/wells fargo requires android 8+. Citi bank 7.1+. (I stopped looking it up at this point). 8 was released in 2017. So assuming 2 years of major OS updates, that means roughly phones from 2015 can still work with it.

Also... even if the app stops working, you can use a web browser still.

Phone batteries die off long before this becomes a reality.
welcome to the world of Forth/Lisp

It is somewhat sadly ironic that to preserve software one has to actually create software that other people care about preserving. And, as we've seen with emulators, if you have software people care about then there are no roadblocks that will stand in the way of someone figuring out how to get your ancient code to run. I take the whole 100R thing as more an interesting art project than a serious goal. More of a "what if".

With that said, I feel most devs are the same. How often do you come across a lead or senior dev that becomes passive aggressive over people modifying "their" code? Quite often, in my experience. Any code that I didn't write sucks and any code I have to touch that I didn't write is the worst code ever written. Code that I didn't write is old obsolete dog turds and code I wrote is "modern". Every dev slaps "modern" on their open source project today.
What we do in my fully remote, heavily async business is we first attempt to solve all problems in an async way e.g. email or Slack (most of us have Slack notifications turned off or heavily limited). In the 15% of cases where an issue can't be solved in this way we do a video meeting. Like Bezos' approach this has the effect of informing all the participants about the key issues before we ever meet, so little time is wasted. I also limit my meeting attendees to people who are directly impacted by possible changes - if someone doesn't have skin in the game on a particular issue I don't really care about their opinion, I mean maybe they will have a perspective none of us have thought of, but things are well documented and they can always send an email, they don't need to be in the meeting.

There was yet another gripe thread about daily standup meetings that passed through HN a few days ago. They are another waste of time that you can't afford to mess with with when you're async. We just have a Slack channel where everyone posts a bullet summary of what they completed yesterday, what their plan is today, and their availability. These summaries take less than 10 minutes to write and 30 seconds to read. If you want more info on what someone's doing it's very easy to just DM them and ask. I probably get more positive feedback on that process from new employees than anything else we do.
How do things in space end up pulled into each other?

If big object A pulls small object B with gravity, wouldn't B just speed up and then miss, ending up in some kind of orbit? Like, if you are in space and throw a rock at the Sun, it won't hit unless you perfectly counteract the relative speed, right?
