Some context for Americans as a dual US/EU citizen: for many people, especially near cities, electric cars are already far more practical in the EU than gas cars. And they're far cheaper and more available than they are in the US. A lot of cities in the EU, even in Eastern Europe, have car sharing services that are 100% electric cars. Anytime I need a car in Europe, I just use an app and walk a couple minutes to the nearest electric car. They're pre-charged, have a range of 3-400 km, and are far faster and easier to drive than gas cars. When I spent some time in the US recently, and had to rent a gas car, I felt like I was using ancient technology. It was so sluggish and inconvenient and more expensive.

I say this because most Americans have the impression that the US on the cutting edge with technology, but in terms of electric cars, the US is really far behind.
Most of these things are one time investments (plus maintenance), which you need for non-renewable energies just as well (and one might argue that building oil rigs and refineries and transporting the fuel is more CO2 intensive than windmills and power cables).
installing chargers on light poles.

That seems like a reasonable idea. Almost...too reasonable.
As an aside, it is stunning to watch ChatGPT already incorporated into casual online discourse. That technology is truly earth shattering. It will change what it is to be human.

I suppose once the AI takes all the ops and dev jobs, we'll just have to seek employment doing the one thing AI can never seem to do - driving a vehicle.
Almost all founders are upper castes. Upper castes completely dominate most positions of power, from bureaucracy and judiciary to politics and entrepreneurship.

See this, for example:
Last 5 years, 79% of new HC judges upper caste, SC and minority 2% each [0]
https://indianexpress.com/article/india/last-5-years-79-of-n...

Indians will defend this by pointing out how Modi belongs to an "other backward castes" (OBC) category, conveniently skipping over the fact that this category was created as a political tool to gather votes and most OBCs face none of the discrimination the truly backward, lowest castes face (I also belong to OBC category fyi).

India's minorities, lower castes, and tribes - more than a third of the population - is heavily underrepresented in any position of power. In rural areas, caste discrimination is prevalent enough that lower caste people regularly get lynched for marrying someone from the upper caste.

I'm generally baffled and frustrated by the Indian unwillingness to acknowledge their privilege. It's turned into a meme at this point where everyone calls themselves middle class, from the finance minister, to Satya Nadella (whose father was the most powerful bureaucrat in his state of birth).

Anyhow, my ranting won't change things.
Yes, you can do that with the adb CLI.

Of course it's a viable solution only for an archivist/advanced users, not so for common users who just wish to keep their old device running smoothly.
Given that you’re “building the future AI cloud production studio”, it seems you have a business interest in this coming true.

Just get the battery replaced. You wrote this entire article without trying the cheap repair service they offer that normally restores it to 100% speed.

Try it then come back to us. 99% of the time its only slow because of battery throttling.
The latter is not causally connected to the former.
Apart from causing all kinds of undesirable side effects and incentives, isn’t this more effectively done with a carbon tax?
> The charging issue and grid use is a massively overblown problem. You only need to charge your car for a few hours every 300 miles.

As usual, everything's just fine for the wealthy, with a new top-end Tesla with its nice big range, and parking/charging space on your own land. The wealthy people will probably be able to demand at-work charging at their 6-figure-salary tech jobs too. Not likely for the more average worker.

Many people will be stuck with old/basic models of cars with smaller/degraded batteries. Many people are unable to charge at home due to living in apartments etc. And right now, many people are entirely priced out of the EV market, as the used EV market is still small.

Also consider that filling up a petrol car takes ~2mins. Charging an EV takes 10-20x that. It's a huge time cost to have to sit around near a public charger, let alone having to queue to charge. And then there's the near-certainty of public chargers price-gouging like crazy once the demand is sufficiently high.

For a large chunk of the population, this transition is going to be painful (If we survive another decade of 'omnicrisis' to even reach 2035 without world war, total collapse, or mass uprising of some kind, that is)
> Whether EU itself will be still a thing in 12+ years to enforce this bullshit ban is another question.

You are correct, the EU is going to break up, definitely before 2035, and probably sooner rather than later. We are at the beginning of a serious financial crisis, this time it's a sovereign debt crisis, caused by going to negative interest rates in 2014 (among other reasons).
>Or is happiness not permitted either?

Excessive? Better no.

>I'd better not drive 10 minutes down to the beach to walk my dog tomorrow in case the carbon police catch me, lol.

"drive to walk" is this even real?
second step, raise cost of public transport :). Already happening where I live.
I would expect that people just link to 3rd party polls.
How do you even tell that some apps got faster. Apple probably just put in faster animations and the user thinks the app is fast because things move quicker while they wait for the app do to something.

This is the way.

It’s perfectly acceptable to bounce off a book after five pages. Off a podcast with poor production quality. Off a song after the first measure.

Tastes differ, so don’t feel bad if you dislike something the zeitgeist adores.
Not really, rich people don't care about carbon taxes.
I found when I got an iPad (I never had a laptop at home), that I stopped using my phone much but when I do use it, I still need all the main features of a smartphone, like a decent camera, apps to manage everything (maps, public transport tickets, apps to order food/drinks etc), sadly everything is in a very app world these days.

I wish there would be more effort put into making more basic smartphones, less running full blown OS and just have a few basic functions, like a decent camera, internet access, messaging and maps, but because they are mini computers they are bloated as hell.
While private horse transport did exist for hundreds of years before that. Yes, it was slow and going longer distances was expensive. Yet the idea of personal transit is very natural.
Not to mention that driving at 200km/h instead of 100km/h uses about 10 times the energy.
> I genuinely believe that C++ is just a toxic wasteland of time. It's not even that productive, fun to work with or secure. I would take C, Rust, Golang, Python anywhere, anytime.

Specifically compared to C, there's a reason so many people switched to C++. They weren't sheep. They weren't just following marketing. If you don't understand what was better about C++, then you're criticizing from a place of ignorance, which is not likely to provide valid criticism.

Now Rust, Go, Python... there are reasons at least some people switch from C++ to those languages.
> you can't do a silent application launch when logging in on macOS from what I can tell - sole exception being iTunesHelper on older versions

You absolutely can, there's ways for apps to launch without adding a dock icon or windows, this is typically done by menu bar apps, but can also be done by daemon-style services, or by apps meant to do global-style UIs (like a lot of the spotlight replacement apps)
It's impossible to eliminate state, but the goal of functional programming is to have as little as possible. The original article does a great job of explaining how to do it and why that's an advantage in this case.
Uhh. The facts are off the map for media companies and the government media.

Society alternates between 3 functions. Hiding away facts, milking good times and taking valuable resources off the map.

We're just the weird people who remember the old-school world, where the public knowing the facts was a point of order and the science would settle it all.

Conspiracies theories appear to sound the alarm on it all, but they have no unique, private facts to share with the public, just like everyone else.
While I think it’s a positive thing for people in positions of power to speak up for the environment, I do not personally consider any of these people environmentalists. I think there is a huge difference between supporting a cause and living it.

Nevertheless, after rereading your original comment, I fully agree with you. These world leaders should be leading. It is disgusting and hypocritical that they flew 400 private jets to the COP conference.
> What you're suggesting is messing with a spam filter designed to handle illegitimate email

No, I'm teaching my spam filter about which emails I consider spam, so it knows to automatically filter them out in future. Which is exactly what I want my spam filter to do. That's its job. That's why I installed it.

> You're [...] actively harming the system instead.

Lol.
I would think an electric car would pair really well with off-grid solar - you can charge the car with excess energy during the day, and pull from the cars battery for power at night.

Sure it's a big power draw, but you can significantly downsize your battery system, which is presumably also a big power draw.

Or do you not have a big battery system now, and only run the high energy appliances like the oven during the day when you have lots of power?
update in case anyone stumbles across this later: the software that caused the issue has been identified and was related to one of my clients product code, no browser extension, mentioned mac utility application or phishing attack was the cause.

my takeaways:

- non sms 2FA is obligatory everywhere no exception

- password expiration after one year makes sense and can help finding breaches much faster

- applications should have an enforceable field to attach a note to a new session for finding possible breach source or remembering legitimate access that is further in the past

- passwords are stupid and should be replaced in general

I dont hate politicians.

I hate the kind of people it attracts.

We dont need politicians.
We do need statemen.

I think you live fantayland if you think restricting their investment options will result in less politicians. Whats simply going to happen is that they will shift their activities to other income avenues.
Less stock trading. More board jobs and speaking fees. The river of corruption keeps flowing even if in a different direction.

Instead, id like less incentives to corruption. That means eat what you kill. Id like more lincolns that take tremendous personal risk to themselves and their families, and declare wars against global superpowers, to then "close shop" and go back to their farm to retire.

Instead we have pelosis, mccains advancing the war lobby, or obamas making bank on "speaking fees"

Stock prohibition wont do a thing. You need to cut the incentive to sell favors. You need to re-introduce risk.
I have think you have defined the terms of battle. An improvisational jazz solo from a master vs one that is AI generated. I don't know this but I suspect that Monk had no idea where his solos were going when he started to play them. I like where they went, I'm just saying there were no directions.
I think these points are fair, and we are just following market forces. If a new phone OS suddenly popped up with a ~20-30% market share we would obviously need to support it; we are in the business of building apps and not smart phones or their OS.

Begin rambling rant / feel free to not respond to any of this:

Imagine for a moment that you are trying to build and distribute something as big as an OS: How would you fund it? Would it be non-profit, state driven, or open-source? Or would it be a for-profit company with for-profit incentives? If it's the latter, market forces will likely dictate lock-in and closed-source development. This isn't necessarily meant to be nefarious to users: it's just how it has to work if it's going to work at all.

On the topic of free software / open OS's and user habits in general: Most users don't want to toil in the fields of setting up a custom OS for the sake of privacy or software freedom: The vast majority of users just want a convenient way to check their messages, find restaurants, hotels, and flights, engage with social media, play a casual game, maybe use a niche app or two, and check the news. Users get complacent when they build habits, so if you want users to switch they need a 10x better reason to switch to consider breaking their habit.

I don't know how something like /e/OS is going to become popular enough to actually pull it off without government intervention, and then we're just trading one market bully for another. Sure we have examples of privacy focused companies seeing success like Duck Duck Go, but think about how much easier it is for the average user to switch to a new search engine over a phone.
True, but there has been a big startup-led divide betwen the "offshorting IT engineer" and the "product engineer" salaries. The gap between the two can be 400-1000%.
We used to think we could reliably use lie detectors, bite marks and finger prints to solve crime. We have learned these aren’t reliable. Why are we blindly trying to do the same with facial recognition? I am not convinced it is any better.
Apple and Google now both require that you keep your app up to date with the new SDKs, even if your app works perfectly fine on the old version. As you upgrade to fix changes for that, it gets harder and hard to maintain support for older OSes. I'm not at all surprised that most app developers don't spend the time to ensure that their app continues to work on older devices, especially those that have a tiny marketshare now.

You can blame it on the developer for not supporting that, but it's in response to things that Apple and Google are doing, and I'd argue that they're really the ones at fault.

> Apple does not give you the freedom to use old versions of software

This is not true and hasn’t been true since around the time that iOS 7 came out.

About two years ago, I dusted off an old first gen iPad (circa 2010). I reset it and I was able to download “the last compatible version”. It’s option given to you by the App Store. I was able to use Netflix, Hulu, Crackle, Spotify, Google Drive to read PDFs.
Fun fact: as iPad batteries are glued[0], when requested Apple won't renew the battery alone and do full machine exchanges (but charge for the price of the battery only). So if you ever update your iPad 3 battery you'll probably need to do local backups to keep your apps if they got removed from the Store or you need a specific version.

Otherwise that's 50+ steps of fun to change the battery yourself: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPad+3+Wi-Fi+Battery+Replacemen...

Size, not specs.

If I want a mini with cell, it's 800 eur, which might be 600 moneys where you live, but VAT is included here.

Actually, 64GB mini with Wifi+Cellular is 869 eur in Ireland, just checked there. When I bought my original mini, it was the cheapest new iOS device with a cell radio.
Conversely, I haven't found a (paid, public) toilet which wasn't disgusting in the UK or Germany.

The best public toilets I've ever used were free, actually, and can be found at the waterfront in Vancouver, Washington, just north of Portland[0]. They're called the Portland Loo.

You need a charging port literally every two meters on all residential streets in all cities in all of Europe, because most people park outside and have no driveway/garage available.

Also you charge ever 300 miles if you have an expensive luxury EV with a huge battery, which is definitely way beyond what the vast majority can afford, especially on EU salaries.
I don’t think it’s about green gurus. It’s about politicians. They know how big the problems are, but like most people, they don’t want to change their behaviour or privileges.
I wouldn't call myself a classical music fan, but if we're looking at Spotify stream numbers I wouldn't be surprised if a big chunk of classical is background noise too. Whenever I'm trying to get work done in a noisy environment I go for classical playlists - unless I'm doing something mindless like cleaning I find it very hard to focus with most music. Might just be that lyrics (especially in English) distract me, but classical is an easy go to for studying time IMO.
There is a large gulf between “LLM’s making my skills less valuable” (which I don’t even think is the case) and being jobless, not able to make a living.

The OP is not going to be jobless anytime soon if they have the skills that they say they do. Hell. Someone with less knowledge who just leans on a LLM isn’t as capable. HUMAN experience is valuable.
> If you think your code is special then you're wrong

Your code is not special, but customers data may be. Also, some companies needs to comply to various certifications, and proven leak of source code that was put into some third party tool may be a reason to revoke such certification. Which can cause a serious financial harm to a given company, as it can lead to ex. losing government clients.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Linus refuses to use C++ because he literally believes us C++ programmers are subhumans.

It is well known that the anti-meat and anti-animal-fat propaganda was funded by the sugar industry in the 1960s. Although I'm currently on a carnivore diet and finally seeing some health benefits after a long time experimenting and battling with debilitating health issues, I would not promote it either. The bottom line is that with the intense lobbying from both sides of the discourse, we've drifted really far from the original intention of nutritional science – to understand how our body processes foods and what nutrition will lead to best health outcomes. Fundamentally, I just want to do the best for my body and will gladly switch my diet at any point given enough data and consensus.

This is tough to do when certain groups are directly benefiting from you not being in an optimal health. At this point I've resorted to experimenting on myself and trusting my gut, body and instincts when it comes to food. Also, reading smaller, hopefully-independent studies looking at certain micronutrients and their utilization – it's quite interesting to look at Vitamin A vs beta-carotene, ALA to DHA and EPA conversion, anti-nutrients and many more.
A carnivore diet isn't relevant. The point is that excessive consumption of meat is a relevant part of many people's unhealthy diet, which ALSO includes excessive sugar and flour. It's not attributing the health harm solely to meat, but saying that it IS a relevant part of it.

The automakers did put up initial resistance, some Japanese brands still are. But this particular political compromise is just a libertarian party needing a workaround to avoid to be seen banning something that everyone knows will be obsolete by that time anyway.

Europol warns ChatGPT already helping folks commit crimes
There's no such thing as a free market, regulations are everywhere. One such regulation that I think is perfectly reasonable is that if you want to sell us things we need to be able to sell you things. This is largely true with hardware (e.g. Apple, Tesla sell into China just fine) but most software companies and especially social media have been outlawed.

Just because we are a democracy with different values to the CCP does not mean we should be taken for fools.
>Clearly my house can do that as my kettle is currently boiling and drawing 3kW alone.

Indeed. When people's kettle usage was much more synchronised (ie, when TV advert breaks were a shared experience by most people), they had to build a power station just to cover this scenario (Dinorwic pumped storage). "Power station" is also quite generous, as it is only storage, and therefore is a net loss to the power grid.

Even the most optimistic person has to admit that there's a limit to what can be done spread the additional load of 40 million EVs each needing to charge ~10kWh per day without grid upgrades and investment.
I'm generally baffled by the obliviousness of so many people I know who work in the IT industry and are either unaware of GPT or have only used it a couple of times as a toy.

I have a lot of rap music which has the same problems today and would be solved by the metadata management in the Classical Music app. I dearly hope Apple will bring back some of the management from that app into the regular app, or allow non-classical music into the new app.
