A reference time describes what standard of time we use. On Earth, for most human use cases, the reference time is UTC. UTC is measured by using International Atomic Time (TAI, from the French "temps atomique international") and adding or subtracting a prescribed number of leap seconds to account for the rotation of the Earth.

We don't use TAI in everyday use because it's constantly and continuously changing in small ways to account for the tiny accelerations or decelerations in Earth's rotation, and that's annoying for computers. So instead we use UTC.

A time zone is a different thing entirely. A time zone is a set of rules that describes how to convert from a reference time to a local time.

Most people think of a time zone as being a fixed offset, like "I use Eastern Time; that means UTC-5". This is wrong. A time zone is a _set_ of offsets, each of which applies to a _range_ of reference times. For example, we have a time zone called "America/New York". This describes, for any current or future datetime in reference time, what the correct _local_ time would be.

Here the scientists are doing two things: deciding what the UTC equivalent for the Moon should be (the reference time) and deciding what (if any) offsets should be applied to compute "local" time somewhere on the Moon (the time zone).
This does not match my experience in science publishing. Scientific journals usually have at least a few paid full-time and part-time editors. They also do their own copy editing and typesetting of the manuscripts. The differences between the arXiv versions and the published versions are usually quite noticeable.
Ah it would've been good to know that, I also tried a couple different prompts but they all had the same vocals. A small note indicating as such would've helped.

Also tried a couple prompts to get just ambient music, but vocals are always included? An option to include vocals would be nice to have.
That's what I was thinking but no, that was never the case with apple.

If iMessage was as good on Android as it is on iOS, why would Android users switch? Or why would people buy iPhones in the first place?

Internal documents from Apple prove that they had builds of iMessage ready for Android but never released them because Apple knew iMessage was one moat that kept the userbase loyal and annoyed Android users enough through the bubble color discrimination to make them switch to iphone. Like parents heading down cheaper iPhones to kids instead of buying them android phones so they can all use iMessage.

FaceTime is currently available for Android users as well but the experience is shit to prove Android is poor and that iOS is the only way to go for the full experience.

I'm not making all this UB but tech YouTubers extensively covered Apple's iMessage moat with proof and arguments and how this works in their favor so I won't go into all the details.
Yes, Obsidian seemed quite good, but after trying it for a while, I found the text formatting too clumsy for handy use. I'm trying out Trilium now, and really like it. Especially good is really easy text/table/formula formatting, that it really is local, and local encryption, with cloud services optional (which Obsidian also has).
You don't need papers anymore, just a number to allow the authorities to pull your "car file" which will contain enough information to identify the car which will be linked to your own file.

Those files will contain enough information to identify the car and yourself.

Why this level of efficacy is kind of scary?
Not working for me on an iPad sadly.
Young people have parents and grandparents. Pitting age groups against each other is mistaken, short-sighted, and self-destructive. We're all in this together. This isn't Logan's Run. It would be psychopathic for young people to not care about the fate of their elders. Also, they're going to become elders themselves someday.
Looks cool and efficient!
I'm actually very afraid of precisely that, because knowing the EU, they will want administrator access, to "combat misinformation and disinformation" and "monitor for extremism" of course. Nothing nefarious.
Great. Let that one app be the all mighty Yahoo Messenger!

The companies who bent over backwards to give them all of those benefits are not public services or non-profit altruists. They're ruthless capitalists and if they could get the same value by paying developers $20k with no benefits, they would. Hell, they keep trying to (and mostly failing).

Despite that, they're still comfortably making billions when not trillions. So I'm not very inclined to weep for the abuse they suffer from their entitled workforce.

The pay, the hours, the benefits, that's simply what work can look like when the power balance between labour and capital moves a little bit in favour of the former. If you're part of the 0.000001%, sure, ask yourself how to put a stop to such "entitlement". For everybody else, the question should be "hey, can we figure out a way to get there too?".
When it specifically comes to sewer automation that’s teething pains. Infrastructure built in X years is going to be built with this kind of automation in mind and everything before that point will eventually be replaced.

Moravec's Paradox was coined in the 1980’s, today’s systems can do vision from cameras fairly well and are only improving over time. Which is really the point I was going for. Even without AGI, it looks like we are going to start building special purpose hardware with very human like capabilities.

On top of this physics has limits on how much physical devices can be improved. If the hypothetical iPhone 732 is eventually the last iPhone ever, then the R&D costs about automating construction fall to zero. Thus robots that build robots which maintain robots etc. A fully lights out factory across potentially geologic timescales. But, that same automation could be applied to everything from recycling, construction, and farming to healthcare.
It would be fun if the social credit score could be manipulated by the chat.

I like that it was more generous than Microsoft in that I was able to continue to ask questions from the list rather than being excluded from the service once the credits ran out.

With Bing chat, one of the first questions I asked it was how to turn off Microsoft Rewards. The answer was correct and the procedure worked. Unfortunately it failed to warn me that doing so would disable chat and I would have to join the waiting list again. I should have kept to the approved activities and products.

I really love the concept of ebikes, for an urban/suburban area it's a viable alternative to a car. This issue as I see is that the regulations just aren't there and people are ebikes ride like complete idiots. Pre-ebike if you were riding at 25mph chances were you were a pretty good cyclist and had good control over your bike, now anybody that can find an ebike is zipping along at 25mph. This wouldn't be a problem if they followed the rules of the road and rode like they were driving a motorcycle (which is what an ebike really is) or a car, but that isn't the case, they ride like an 8 year old on their first bike, on the sidewalks, going the wrong way in traffic, not stopping for stop signs and traffic signal basically a free for all at 25mph not 8mph. Going back, you used to only see this from riders or messengers, so it was really limited, and even then riders/messengers got doored and put through windshields as a matter of course. I think it's just a matter of time before we see these ebike guys getting killed in significant numbers, enough that there's going to laws put in place.
Oh that's interesting! I'm using HomePods, how odd that iPhone Siri doesn't do multiple timers... It can work headlessly, so my guess is they've not bothered to write a UI for multiple timers on iOS... weird move
Villa Tugendhat by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe is pretty iconic, probably in different circles though.
That was fast...

This is very useful! I'm surprised by how it seems an improvement over ChatGPT+ in many ways. Effectively instant responses for one thing.

Do you have any further plans for this? Is a light mode on the cards?
In total agreement with this, the mobile app is another buggy victim of React Native. Plus I've had data loss on sync at least once, which has shattered my faith that their sync backend is reliable. It might have happened many more times and I'd have no way of knowing. I'm only subscribed at this point because I got an 80% discount a couple years ago. Do not use them if you value your data.
Meanwhile WhatsApp installs only on one device (phone OR tablet, not both).

You can use the web version, but it sucks on a tablet.
I agree with this.

Having had the experience of being dowmvoted when asking an honest question in a comment, and receiving a downvote instead, makes me a bit apprenhensive to ask questions at all.

If someone doesn't agree with something and wants to display their authority status of "I do not agree," a response would be better.

Plus, I have heard of people downvoting by accident.

Perhaps a compromise solution would be a downvote could happen if the downvoter actually made a comment, at which point, subjecting that response to being able to be downvoted as well, if necessary.
Would this be a good fit for shipping containers?

I assume that most of the shipping process is already tracked, but if the error rate is anything like airports and checked luggage, I can see why someone might want this.

Although, I suppose if the actual ships have internet service, then airtags may be good enough even in this case.
> I see we're rebranding SOA/microservices again.

The rebrandings will continue until morale improves.
Let's say I'm not using microservices and I'm not interested in using microservices, but the idea of event-driven architecture appeals to me. Let's also say that I'm using Python or C# or Ruby or Go. Should I be seeking out some kind of EDA framework? Or do I just need some kind of task queue/cache and a pool of workers looping over its contents processing events?
That's absurd. Having to work to earn a living is not the same as slavery. If you don't think there are enough good jobs where you live then you should be agitating for onshoring and more investment in local manufacturing and production. Fundamental wealth in a society comes from producing and improving physical things that make our lives better.
Honestly, I hope we will do the obvious thing and adopt a "calendar second" that has a different size everywhere you go on the Solar System.

The alternative is just crazy.

98,1% of the heat is reflected... to where ?

It's nice to have a room "not too warm"... unless it's a lot warmer in the street and you cant go outside!

Let's imagine a "totally white" town (white on walls, streets, roofs): the air will be quite hot, or am I misunderstanding something ?
So it look to me that we will trade one problem (warm outside and inside) for another one (cooler inside and warmer outside)

Technically yes - but the difference amounts to 2 seconds per century. Your lunar clone would be younger than you, but the difference would be less time than you spent calculating the difference.
Where do you get the idea that women are miserable due to being able to choose not to have kids early in life? That they're still miserable without kids and that they'd be more satisfied if they had children and no freedom?

There's not exactly a lot of women clambering to go back to having no rights, no choice, and no freedom because it's better than not being able to have kids at 18.

Still sounds like your opinion vs his.

That's not "failing" that's at most "it doesn't work for me", but without explaining why it doesn't work for you, it really is little more than a wild claim.

I've had great success with "Clean code" practices. Though I implement it more according to Alistair Cockburns' "Hexagonal Architecture", it's overall very similar and strives for the same goals using the same methods. So in that sense, N=1 it hasn't failed. It has helped at least one person.

A part of the problem is that social media is at a point where being the 1 person to drop it as a teenager could have significant worsening effects purely because you now have absolutely no way to talk with friends outside of school (because they are all on social media)
Maybe it doesn't have a measurable effect but the other day there was an economist on Bloomberg saying that "we need a recession" that it would be "good thing", I was a bit surprised to hear this sentiment being expressed so explicitly.

Edit: I can't find the video now but I found another recent video expressing a similar idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63aDL326IFA
Wouldn't savings rate dropping in a low unemployment environment mean increased demand? I guess if it is just servicing higher interest debt demand could still be going down.
I assume the dev number is higher because the version bump is mixed in with other changes and discovering the CVE in the new version means investigating compatibility with the feature work you just did.

Agree that you have to be skeptical about studies like this.
Do they enforce "WXBOO connector for Apple iPad" ?
> If you’re in a group and talking about something factual like when a movie came out or a directors name

Funny, in most my friends groups someone checks their phone and I'm glad they do. Why would we be talking about this if we didn't care about the truth of it?

> we can talk around ideas without knowing exactly who or when what happened

Sure. Then perhaps talk about the ideas and don't mention who/when or just say you're not sure, and then of course people shouldn't check :)

Assuming you are referring to covid lockdowns, you are mis-using the term "livelihood", which is the "means of securing the basic necessities (food, water, shelter and clothing) of life". Young people were not deprived of food, water, shelter, and clothing due to covid lockdowns.

Tracking of shipping containers does sound like a reasonable fit, yes. Oceanic buoys for scientific research, where satellite cover applies, would be another good example.
Not sure why this is being downvoted.

Used to be a bartender and there were several times I watched a woman get a drink and take a fake sip, and then wait until the gentlemen is away and ask for a different one. Like she was bought a rum and coke and then moseyed up to the bar and asked for a replacement one -- "I'm not sure I trust his drink" -- fair enough.

We also had a sign in the ladies room: "ask a bartender / waiter / bouncer if their friend Trudy is doing okay, that means you or someone with you is being creeped on and are concerned for safety". Only had that chat 2-3 times, but it did happen.
ChatGPT changes everything. Normally with the high rates and the continued inflation we'd head to recession. But ChatGPT is our get-out-of-jail-free card. In the next few years there will be a burst of economic activity driven by new GPT bots. We have already started seeing it. But this stuff is exponential, like Covid. By the end of this year we'll see GPT applied to countless things. By next year we'll see lots of companies establishing GPT departments.

We are not heading to a recession, we are heading to 4% growth. Sustained over a few years.
It sounds like you'd be incredibly useful for the spirit of accessibility, but need to work on your knowledge of the rules of accessibility. When we build accessible applications at our company, we have to comply with every rule of "WCAG AA 2.1" to satisfy our clients.

A professional audit of our product would result in a report of exactly which rules we need to address, along with suggestions for possible changes. I would use this to satisfy the accessibility portion of our contracts. So an accessibility expert is, among other things, a compliance officer who provides credible proof that a company is actively respecting the ADA.
Pfft.

AngularJS 1.0 was the first time I felt I could try to build a real quality app with web tech without going crazy.

Then I hit the wall with its crusty 2-way binding system, learned react, and never looked back.

Now I can do state manipulation tricks that would make past me's eyes pop out. Like wiring up undo/redo to a complex tree manipulation app by replacing a useState call with a useUndoableState, and describing every mutation in my app as a mix of data and lambdas, which can be reversed automatically without any custom code.

The building blocks are here:

React has done so much for the web, people don't even know how shitty it used to be.

If all you're doing is building the same old websites, with the same old form-based interactions, instead of trying to put desktop-quality software on the web, then yeah it's overkill.

But don't tell me you're upset because you don't understand what this stuff is for and you've just been cargoculting for years. That's a you problem.
Because they papered over the landing with newly created dollars — which isn’t really happening this time because they beat that horse to near death.

The fundamental problem is that it's not the engineers making the technology decisions, at least not in software development, how is it like in other industries!?

The second problem is that rather then writing fast software, you are incentivized to write the software as fast as possible.

The third problem is that the ones buying/paying the software are not the ones using the software.

The fourth problem is that software engineering is highly fashion driven.

The software layers though, they are there for a reason. Although I'm not a fan of stacking frameworks. I think the optimal is 2-3 layers between the hardware and the developer. The problem is leaking abstraction layers.
The risk is commercial real estate and corporate debt. I believe this was mentioned during the last Fed minutes.
RAS used to have all articles available to everyone for free after 1 year (immediately if one wanted to pay for open access). I thought this was a reasonable compromise. The new policy will damage early career researchers and groups at less established institutions that will not be able to publish their own research. I have published a number of papers on MNRAS, but now I will move to other journals. In principle, I can charge the publication costs to my NSF grant, in practice that means I would not be able to send my students to conferences, because research support funding is very stretched (no more than few thousand dollars per year per student). This would damage their career prospects. Theory grants are already very small and adding several thousand dollars extra to the budget can make the difference between the grant being awarded or rejected (it should not be, but this is how it works). Moreover, even at R1 institutions, a lot of theory research is actually not funded by federal grants.

Journals were created to support the scientific community and provide a platform for scientists to discuss. Charging exorbitant publication fees damages the very mission of these journals.
Would love to see a write up with more detail on this! I love Ableton but it does not play nice with Linux.
Except EU is not a single market: there's 27 countries, speaking multiple languages, having different laws, so to serve the EU you need at least a dozen versions of your app.

Also, EU has just decided that this half billion of consumers will be downgraded to the third world standard of living (google "Fit for 55"), so they won't really have much money to spend on tech toys anyway...

I wonder what is the shortest adress that works in Germany. Central Mannheim has streets (or rather squares) which are identified by a combination of a single letter and a single digit. This is then followed by the number of the house. But sometimes a building occupies a whole square. So for example

E5
68159 Mannheim

is the address of the city hall.

One should get away with using the number plate abbriviation "MA" for "Mannheim". So something like

H5
68159 MA

should work too. And since the zip code identifies the city

H5
68159

might work as well.

And perhaps even

H5
MA

or simply

H5

if you post the letter in Mannheim itself.

Another possibility for short addresses is that some companies or agencies in Germany have their own postal code. So just writing their five-digit-code on the envelope should suffice.

> I think the point is you're not doing anything with the event immediately, just setting the key state so it can be polled later.

Which is event-driven architecture. A component signals that something happened and other components take in that information and update their local state as appropriate.
I wonder what languages it support for language libraries or is it just limited to linux packages? Say java, js etc. ?

Is it marking something active on access or actually checking execution? On execution doesn't work for at least js payload on the other hand on access would add to noise say for an ls.
