The US has had stupidly overpriced cellular data, while unlimited texts have been a standard thing since like 2005 on even the cheapest plans.
My wife refuses to move to Canada for this reason. You can’t trust anybody.
Thanks! I actually haven't open sourced it yet. Would you be interested in contributing if I open sourced?
We can thank iOS and Android for the death of desktop/filesystem knowledge for people at large. Universities will need to start requiring a General Computing course to close that gap, if they aren't already.
My favourite e-ink application was in the Yotaphone II [1] some years ago, but sadly discontinued. I had one sent from the UK to Australia, where I was working for a few years. Reading books, docs or emails via the e-ink screen was a joy (no probs with bright sunshine), as was calling up your airline pass on the screen and turning off the phone, because the image on the back was retained. Even writing emails/docs was fine for me, despite the e-ink lag. I needed to charge it only every other day, and that still left plenty of margin. Best phone I ever had.

I think it has failed because the industry is moving way faster than most people can keep up.

Even your average developer isn’t going to be aware of security changes in the industry to know what’s important or not. It’s going to be even less likely they someone not in engineering to remotely know what’s important or not.

Security professionals know but do you seek out a cardiologist first before you ask your GP? Probably not because, being not at all trained, you have no clue about anything. And if your GP doesn’t know, you are kind of on your own.
Yes, I just got my Badger W few days ago and I'm pairing it with a temperature/humidity/CO2 sensor - I designed and 3D printed a bracket for it, I'm going to mount it on a wall in my kitchen. It's also going to show brief weather forecast and the current price of my energy tariff(it changes daily).

That's what it looks like(just assembled it today so I haven't written code for it yet):

This is very common in South America, although not as present in large cities. I spend some time in the Maghreb and they also have this trait.
It's a bit more challenging to get it up and running with Windows, and has fewer features, but VMWare Fusion Player is free and runs great.
Wasn't just t-mobile, some of the 3rd party connected services ran by other companies that tie into the mobile networks for most major carriers got hacked also.

Caller ID services and Iphone Provisioning.

Its way worse than the media/public even knows. Its networks built on networks, with api's everywhere.

Also, TMO allows you to enable 2FA but ignores it when enabled, still allows you to sign on with email/pass.
It's not a rare exception, there's a whole class of programming autodidacts, boot campers, physics majors and electrical engineers who pivoted to software. Often the argument against credentialism in the field is to protect such people.
National borders exist. Why?

The international Internet didn't exist 200 years ago, so there is no precedent on whether it should be permitted to exist.

Unless you are an anarchist, it's not at all clear what the legitimate functions of government are.
Problem and solution do not separate themselves across that boundary.

In the set of parents, we find problems and solutions.

Because of this reality, we can know that simply "having parents to talk to" cannot guarantee a solution.

The same pattern is present with breaking encryption: it gets us to a solution: allowing law enforcement to invade the communications of perpetrators. It also gets us to a problem: allowing perpetrators to invade the communications of children.

We can't simply choose the outcome we want and ignore the other. Both are strongly predictable. That means this strategy is not worthwhile.
I don't think it was so much a Apple getting it right in a technical sense, rather that when it debuted US carriers were still charging real money for texting and Apple stopped tip-toeing around the issue when they had enough partners. Recall the iPhone was originally exclusive to AT&T, then AT&T + Verizon, then Sprint, T-Mobile, etc. Sure, many people were on omnibus family plans for $X00s/month, but those people grew up to get their own plans, actual fast data was becoming a thing, and priorities just shifted. Why would you pay $$ just to text, if it's just text? I'm having a hard time looking up what the average costs were for Blackberry, but by the time they were in the hands of the masses, kids to adults, the iPhone and iMessage had too much momentum.
New Windows 11 update puts AI-powered Bing Chat directly in the taskbar
>I blame the Internet for another reason: we're spending so much time online no one has time for face-to-face communication, either with friends or strangers.

That said, meat space interactions are filled with implicit hierarchies, activates power posturing that only manifests online with specific triggers, social and xenophobic anxieties, etc. Just for example, as long as I type in a certain register, you wouldn't be able to premise your response on a set of learned and intuitive behaviors, which not only frees both of us from ourselves in a certain sense, but the conversation as well.

In real life, people implicitly respond to the fact that they're talking to a physically unable person, a Black person, a Trans person, a cis woman, a person they're attracted to, an ESL speaker, etc, and this changes the course of things.

Not to suggest you're advocating for abolition and severe restriction, I take it you're advocating for finding some balance or other. But maybe just to attenuate that search, there's something of value to exclusively online discoursing that is enabling of things that're more difficult to access than in real-life. Obviously the downsides here are trolls/committal toxic behavior.
Technically you could start an electrical company, licensed under a qualifying employee. Basically you need to find a low level employee that has the work experience to show and enough study skills to pass the test. Then they can be your means to a license. Aka, how random business men can sometimes own have construction companies without ever having worked in the field.
its not open source? I don't see the code on the github link.
> This makes MRSK really fast. Our sophisticated, Kubernetes backed deployment pipeline for HEY often takes minutes to deploy a new version. <....> With MRSK, we can deploy a new version of HEY in as little as 20 seconds.

When someone makes a claim like this without explaining what exactly is the thing which takes minutes to deploy in k8s but can be avoided in MRSK to deploy in only 20 seconds then I'm thinking they either don't know or they just badly removed resiliency in their new (immature) product until one day when all the layers get added back in again it will likely perform even worse than k8s did in the first place.
The Sun Continues Its Journey to Solar Maximum, Releasing X-Class Flares
I am always tripping over my feet when I use Dask. Definitely due to inexperience (I only reach for it when my usual Pandas tricks fail me), but I never have a good time there. Pandas idiom X will still blow up memory, you have to know Dask idiom Y, etc.

I am glad Dask exists, but it is not a seamless solution where you can just swap in a Dask dataframe.
Except for companies who do not want to deal with the infrastructure management. The last thing I want to do is deal with disk failures etc.
You are not getting the point of either my comment or the original article. You are thinking from an engineering point of view, where if you look through all the layers of abstraction you see mutexes and shared mutable memory. That's not my point; my point is about building up those abstractions so they are sufficiently hidden. Functional programmers routinely operate on a higher level of abstraction, and they have shorter, more maintainable code. In such code, it would be a code smell if you continue to use mutexes, because that should've been an implementation detail. It should've been clear from the outset that the kind of complexity the article is talking about is cognitive complexity.
That is nice, but the browser storage limit is more arbitrary, cache size is limited by hardware.
not sure if a yubikey or similar would help here because they would probably just steal that as well, no?
> TikTok is not banned for the public.

Never said it was -- if you follow the thread you'll see I was replying to someone pointing out that China has banned US social networks. The implication being that true US banning TikTok would only be fair, or something like that.

> We already ban a ton of stuff.

We do... and those bans do limit freedom, by definition. We've accepted that in a lot of cases -- few are arguing that child porn should be anything but banned, for example -- but I doubt we'd accept a government ban or restriction on, say, League of Legends simply because kids spend too much time on it (China places restrictions on time of day and duration).
To be fair, received videos from iPhone are extremely low resolution and blocky. Pictures are better, but still downscaled.

Google Messages has worked around this issue a bit by allowing links to videos in Google Photos to be sent instead of some sort of pixelated MMS garble.

It will be interesting to see if the day eventually comes when legislation is introduced to mandate an open messaging standard. They did it for USB-C chargers.
Only use real content for langauge learning
I definitely don't think in terms of recursion (and I don't think I've seen it explicitly in a recipe!), but I'm not sure loops and interation are necessarily that intuitive, either. I learned programming at an early age and I still distinctly remember the period when loop constructs "made sense".

I can believe that recursion is even less easy to teach than iteration, but it may be that this is a pedagological issue, or that we have yet to work out the best way to convey or document computation.
I don't know if I can say it has no merit, but I also find this type of writing annoying.

You can be verbose and interesting without so much padding and flowery speech. When you have this much to say about something, you have this much to say about everything, and I don't care to read long-winded analogies that the writer thinks are cute or wait for them to paint the picture in much more words than necessary.

Maybe people who enjoy this get some sort of energy thinking about well-developed, stylish prose, and it's easy for them to see the scene or this character's anguish but for me it's distracting and takes me out of the moment to focus on the writers "poetry".
The rules of Chess aren't that hard. The rules of Go are even easier. You can literally spend your whole life unpacking the implications of the rules of either of those games.

Ultimately both are 'too simple', resulting in a combinatorial explosion of states, and at least a quadratic expansion of consequences.

We often write software to deal with consequences of something else. It's possible and not that uncommon for the new consequences to be every bit or more onerous than the originals. I call this role a 'sin eater' because you're just transferring suffering from one individual to another and it sounds cooler and more HR appropriate than 'whipping boy'.
Not sure but these serif fonts need to breathe more. This is an iPhone 14.
Yeah sometimes you have to do the complicated thing, the saying "you can't build a ladder to the moon" comes to mind

I do think that many people make the wrong tradeoff in terms of complexity to features ratio though.
In my experience, it's extremely common for the operator to select the wrong lane when they're talking to me over the speaker, because I can see my order pop up on the other speaker while my screen stays blank. It seems that the speaker system is totally independent of the screens, probably for redundancy so that they can still take orders if the screens malfunction.
They're keeping the discussion "on read".
From what I recall when you switch to Android best practice is to disable Imessage. You shouldn't ever get messages on your IPAD after doing that.
> when people would yell at people for failures

How does this solve problems more effectively, aside from making a few people feel bad?

> there was far more accountability

Do you have a source or any kind of metric for this, or is this based on gut feel?

> you're not allowed to talk about someone making a colossal mistake even if everyone knows who made the mistake

IME why are mistakes allowed to get through the codebase in the first place? The whole idea is that we should now have processes to catch and deal with these mistakes (code reviews, pull requests, automated tests, different environments). If your co-workers are cowboy coding and committing, then sure, have at them.
The Surprisingly Scientific Roots of Monkey Bars
AI will be used for population control and censorship. WW1 introduced new inhumane ways to mass murder tens of millions of people. AI in WW3 will be used in the same way - to thin the herd.
I would argue that intelligence is the ability to survive in your environment. Homeostasis meaning sleeping, eating, drinking, reproducing and avoiding pain. Most of that does require prediction.
The optimizer removes that.
There is not only a difference in the data source but pre-trained tasks as well.
But you are right, a fine-tuned models on human-annotated data are way better than zero-shot (just pre-trained) on Image retrieval.
And it is correct for CLIP, ALBEF, VICHA, and UFORM.
Probably SMS as a 2FA option on Gmail, which is the real problem. Once you add your Yubikey and set up TOTP as a backup, you need to go back and delete SMS as a 2FA option. Had gmail been configured correctly, the SIM swap would have far less serious.
I am not writing a web app, I'm writing an embedded system. Catching an exception is nice, but I still need my code to keep working, which memory leaks do allow, generally for a long time. yes we have had some 'memory scribbler' bugs that were a pain to track down, but they are very rare compared to changing python code and missing to make the right change to an error handling path and now Python unwinds to main instead of handling the error correctly. Note that I'm saying Python errors of that nature are more common despite comparing 50k Lines of Python to 15m lines of C++.

For short programs Python works great, but it doesn't scale to large programs.
You are right, I will rectify that. The statement still holds but I need to provide a justification.
Sure, Windows is using an API designed for cars rather than reverse engineering the protocol.

It's still true that Apple do not want iMessage on competitor platforms. There's a non-zero chance they lock down this API further in response.
Or perhaps we are simply seeing the emergence of the Eloi and the Merlocks.
This is so helpful, nice work!
Charles Dickens, a foundational pillar of of English Literature, was writing ceaselessly about class struggle well over century ago.

Hamlet deals with class struggle.

Jack and the fucking Beanstalk is, along with the vast majority of fables derived from oral history, about class struggle as are vast swaths of the Bible.

The round table of King Arthur's court? Literally all of Robin Hood?

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn? To Kill a Mockingbird?

Someone is politicizing English literature and it ain't university professors.

Gender studies is just "class stuggle from a gender perspective".
Then comes the engineering maxim, that you can only componentize things that have standard features and quality.

Software engineering gets the shorter straw, because there's a strong force stopping standardization and pushing components into a single implementation. It then becomes a judgement of trust, not of requirements satisfaction.

It’ll still do all the annoying things like disable the air con or make an annoying noise.

The full self repossession thing is just another use case for full self drive, which is complete fantasy land on the part of automakers.
The cool thing about T-Mobile is they don't ask for your SSN or care about what name you give if you do pre-paid in cash. This anonymity means that if the bad guys call up T-Mobile and know all your details and they even have a compromised employee with full access, the bad guys still can't find out your real IMEI or phone number and do a sim swap. Another benefit is that, with all the cell phone location selling going on, they can't find your true location either!
I prefer just a verbal "thank you".

Small monetary bonuses don't impact me one way or another -- I am paid well enough that $50 isn't a thing I find compelling. But I don't find it insulting at all, either -- just largely meaningless.

I HATE gift cards, though. If you're giving me money, give me money and don't force me to spend it in a particular way or at a particular business. Whenever I get a gift card, I just pass it along to someone else who would make better use of it than I.

EDIT: After reading the other comments, extra PTO is something that I would value a great deal. I've just never experienced that and so didn't think of it.
That is a very reasonable stance, and I appreciate it being articulated. Baked into it is an appreciation and respect for life and consciousness, which I respect.

Author is NOT the victim. They have a lack of people skills that could be remedied by taking some proper coursework, or seeking professional help. The companies author is working for are the victims.
Everything in this post matches up 100% with my experiences too. Artificial time gates on multiple levels before you can do anything even if you're actually competent.

Like that for a lot of licensed work, not just trades or union jobs. Getting a license to cut hair and do other salon work requires more of an official time commitment than dropping everything and getting into programming.
Thank you for the assent.

The pandemic happening in the same city as WIV isn't really that much of a coincidence. The virus needed a large densely packed city to really take off. Wuhan is the biggest city in central China. The catchment area around Wuhan for where a virus would follow the animal trade to the city is probably large. Wuhan is also a good candidate for a centrally located lab. That only seems like a 5-10% low probability chance, which happens (it is also the second time it happened in China and the first time looked like this one, only it hit Guangzhou where there was no lab).

The infected lab worker causing exactly one massive superspreading event in the wet market without infecting anyone else, making it look exactly like zoonotic spillover, without leaving any other contacts around Wuhan is much less believable to me. That sounds like a thousand to one odds or much worse.
I don’t think humans will ever populate mars so why don’t we just shoot a seed of bacteria and simple organisms into the surface and give something time to develop millions of years down the line?
Eh, my mid 2000s cell phone was pretty cheap and could do live streaming video, internet, email, "apps" including facebook etc, it's just that nobody used any of these features in the US because it was at least 100$ a month to do ANYTHING that used the internet.
That is more akin to a lease.
You can find an answer in their profitability in spite of repeated negligence.
I love fuzzy searching, it should be an option in all text search boxes everywhere (and rg is also great), but this is just not a properly scoped search workflow, it's just too valuable to be able to limit search to document/project/... before reaching for everything

2FA on everything. No password reused. Only similarity is both had the T-Mobile number attached to them.

I initially thought only Amazon was compromised. I thought it was due to us throwing away a FireTV device (assumption: we didn't log out and de-register) that was then used to order items.

And then I found they added filters to my Gmail account to hide the Amazon orders, and went into full panic mode.
The idea that loneliness can be solved with even more loneliness is an idea so patently American it's hilarious. I know you're being facetious, but part of the hilarity stems from how many others genuinely believe a shed in the woods is the answer to their problems.

Which is part of the problem, people would rather sit idle and do nothing except dream of the ideal isolated state, than to bake some cupcakes and give them to a neighbor, join a book club, participate in more sports, the list goes on and on it's truly endless.

I've found that the loneliness epidemic is not one of loneliness, but of comfort. People do not want to experience discomfort and the inconveniences that are a natural part of social life. It's so much easier to open HN than to message one of your friends from the net and hang out. Why join a class to learn to cook when you can just download an app to order? These conveniences are the source of your loneliness.

Side note, the best people being jerkwads online only stems from two roots: misunderstanding (as text is difficult to grasp), or people wanting to hurt. Yes it's true, even the best of people can want to hurt others, but it's not due to them truly being evil or not knowing the person they're replying to is a real person - it's because they want to share their pain (in unhealthy ways :P). Bullies IRL operate the exact same way.

Also I would like to push back on the idea that online communication does not activate "that part of the brain". There are numerous studies regarding the positive impact of elderly people utilizing the internet, this being used to prevent age related cognitive decline. Games too, widely demonized, have the same positive effect. Switching to a negative light, younger people are drastically more likely to be suicidal the more they use the internet (5+ hours/day). Sources for all of these found here [1].

How can the above paragraph be true if the brain "knows" it's just talking to pixels on a screen? The answer is, our brain doesn't (to some degree, rituals play a big role in why we understand watching a movie = fiction, but hanging out with a friend in a video call = good feelings). This is why it feels good to talk to friends online, but we're missing the externalities involved with in person talk - mobile activity, deeply sharing your interest, gossiping, etc. None of these things have been replicated online beyond superficial methods through VR. These things, while uncomfortable, are crucial to actually reaping the benefits of community.

So get a little uncomfortable!

Ukraine became independent in 1991 and has a per capita GDP PPP of less than $15,000 as of 2021 compared to over $57,000 in Germany and over $69,000 in USA, so it is a young country with seemingly little ability to afford material luxury.
