There is a widely used standard, actually two, that solve this problem just fine over a single pure digital interface.

USB Audio Class has been almost universally supported in computing devices for literally decades at this point, as has USB HID Class which supports media controls.

I have no idea whether Apple allows it to work on iOS devices, but a car head unit could easily expose a USB audio class device and it'd "just work" with Android, Windows, MacOS, etc. devices. Add a USB HID "keyboard" that can send media/telephone inputs and you're good to go without any new tech required to be invented. Works with anything that doesn't go out of the way to prevent it from working. All you'd be missing compared to Bluetooth A2DP/AVRCP would be communicating media info back to the head unit, which is more of an optional nicety rather than a necessity.

Plug a USB cable in to whatever computing device you want to source audio from and it would work great.

Unfortunately the majority of the non-technical community, and a surprisingly large amount of the technical community, acts like they're allergic to wires. I honestly do not understand the demand for wireless charging, wireless AA/CP, etc. when a single cable works better for both. It's not that hard to plug a phone in when you sit down in your car.
Sure, and achieving only 1FA with 2FA primitives and hoping you never encounter a keylogger is also a trade off..
Anecdotally, I see some people in their 40s or early 50s who made very serious money and worked really hard (founders, CEOs, and the like) end up doing some of the on-the-side type of work that gets thrown at people in that position (boards, "advisors," and the like). But I don't actually see a huge number of late career regular employees (even fairly well-compensated ones) retiring way early.

let's talk about general terms, not the narrow hyper specialized sector that is tech.

many companies (I would argue most) would stop working if people are not reminded every day what their job is and asked what is the ETA for the task they were assigned to.

it's a real problem, people are usually not super smart, they are average, and tend to learn nothing on the job unless they are required to, trained regularly and their advancement measured in some way. They do not think about their work outside, they hardly do it while at work, they do not experiment, they do not hypothesize, they simply wait for the paycheck at the end of the month in exchange for a portion of their lifetime.

if WFH was really such a boon for productivity, while also costing less to both companies and workers, everyone would have jumped on board immediately and pieces like this one would not exist.
I think 16:10 strikes a nice balance, particularly on laptop displays. It's wide enough to handle a couple of side-by-side windows well without feeling particularly starved for vertical pixels.

For large monitors though (27"+) the need for width is reduced… I've never used a 4:3 or 5:4 monitor that large but I don't think it'd bother me nearly as much as those aspect ratios at small sizes do.

I noticed that while everyone here is discussing vegetarianism, you are discussing veganism -- which is different.

We keep talking past each other. This is the last reply I'm going to make, but hopefully it will add something: please consider that your experience is not opposite of mine, but instead, that you haven't run into the problems yet.

Maybe, for all of your success and advancement, you haven't yet reached the limits I'm talking about. Just consider it.
I dont think they could afford him. Most of them also have pending litigation from the voting machine companies as well.
The only thing I don’t like about make, is it feels like having a configure and make file sets the expectation that:

./configure

make all

Will actually have a good chance of working, which is not something my makefiles can live up to!
It’s like having a computer in every car, connected to the internet. And the police asking who was speeding yesterday.
Using `make` with `.PHONY` targets is what I'd call a "task runner". -- In NodeJS, a package.json's "scripts" serve a similar task.

I think the main/only reason to go out of your way to use `make` as a task runner is its ubiquity.

However, if you're already using nix, it's probably not much of an issue to use a better task runner.

I'd recommend 'just' instead https://github.com/casey/just -- It has a nicer UX, with a few significant quality-of-life improvements out-of-the-box compared to `make`. e.g.

- you can get a list of tasks, and select one using `fzf` with `just --choose`.

- can inline use of bash, or python, etc.

- `just` automatically searches up a directory tree for a `justfile`.
First Real-World Study Showed Generative AI Boosted Worker Productivity by 14%
They’re trying to explain that 1 farad at 1 volt is a watt second.

F = W * s / V²

AA batteries are around 4 watt hours so that’s somewhere around 6400 farads at 1.5V to do the same work. You need a 7f capacitor just to get within a factor of 1000 of the energy density of an alkaline cell. Ultra caps at present are in that neighborhood. So three orders of magnitude off.

Charcoal supercaps are limited to around 2.7 volts, and Maxwell Technologies made a huge deal out of getting their caps from 2.5V to 2.7V. That exponent makes that a 8% increase in voltage but a > 16% increase on power.

Nobody mentions the operating voltage of grapheme in this article.
Don't be fooled by the glamorous facade of such "influencers". It's as tough a grind as any corporate job. There is 24x7 demand for new content. You have to compete with a million others in the space, and it is next to impossible to set yourself apart. Only the top 0.1% have any real viewership and are making money. For the rest, the "living frugally" part you mention is likely not by choice.
Did these organizations do that?
There is nothing wrong with these people. Those in the power always want to have more power.

There will be no implications if encryption is banned. People have been using unencrypted wired phones and unencrypted bank cards for a long time and the world hasn't collapsed.

Also, there is no need to ban any encryption, client-server encryption protocols like HTTPS can stay, provided that the server would log all session keys for future lawful access.
There were people claiming his Twitter fiasco is part of some "5D chess" plan, and the only plan I've been able to identify that could make his behaviour somewhat rational, is this all being part of a big gambit where he alienates liberals to the point that conservatives start to love him so much that they will buy his electric cars out of team loyalty.

It sounds like a very long shot, though.
A major argument for income tax is that it's naturally countercyclical, which means that governments tax more when incomes are high and less when they are low. The 'progressive' — concave upwards — income tax is even more so. Per Keynesian theory, countercyclical fiscal policy acts to stabilize the economy, and the US has been more stable since the tax base shifted from property tax and tariffs towards income taxes. Tariffs, in particular, can be disastrously procyclical — a failure of a domestic manufacturer may lead to a decline in economic performance and an uptick in imports, which is then exacerbating. It might be possible for a land tax or property tax to be countercyclical, but this would likely depend on the centralized adjustment of valuations, since there is not so far any automatic technique for valuing real property other than immediately after a sale. History has taught us to be cautious about centralized economic micromanagement.

The temporal effects of income tax are often lost in colloquial debates among non-economists who have the impression that they exist primarily for moral reasons — however, the wealthy, in practice, are very good at avoiding them.

Why is this submission along with all the other submissions on this story flagged?
Conversely, I think it should make sense that the growthiest of growth areas, tech, would see the biggest pullback once money starts costing money again.

A lot of loss-making / future growth speculative tech business models make a lot less sense when you can make about 5% risk free.

It doesn't get discussed much, but during the boomiest tech hiring days of COVID.. interest rates weren't just 0%.. they were, in real terms, negative.

Circa 2021 the treasury/risk free rate was about 1.5% while inflation ended the year at about 7%.
So you were getting paid 5.5% to take risk. This incentives speculation as parking your money in a safe CD/bond/whatever loses real-money with time.

Now inflation & risk free rate are at about parity.
Are LLMs the Future of User Interfaces?
I explore the evolution of user interfaces, from early natural language interfaces to GUIs, and now to LLM-powered chat interfaces. I believe that while these interfaces show promise for end-user programming, they are not yet reliable enough for full autonomy. I also argue that language interfaces may struggle to serve both novice and power users, particularly for tasks requiring creativity. In my opinion, current interfaces should be designed to be guided or collaborative rather than entirely autonomous until the models are reliable enough to take over completely.
This is happening because owners are not trading in.

The people who buy new cars are different from folks who buy used cars. They are less price sensitive and are likely to trade in their car every few years.

They are the ones that keep the gravy train running.

And now they can't get the "Free Supercharging" option, and aren't buying. So telsa is trying to help them out, while ending the free supercharging.

Personally, I think one other thing telsa ended is individual controls for functions like turn signals, headlights, wipers, PRND - that sucks more than losing free supercharging. (I'm not talking about touch controls)
AI hype is the successor to crypto hype, which in 2022 flamed out. I think at least AI has more practical applications compared to crypto and is not nearly as scammy. Many investors lost huge money with crypto; I do not see the same for AI.
Very much yes to your first sentence, but I don’t think “just plug something into ChatGPT” is a fair summary of your (very interesting) post, so you’re fine with me.

I’ve seen several statements recently, including one in a talk by a Microsoft researcher working with OpenAI, that claim that all the RLHF safety training introduces human biases and makes the models worse at abstract reasoning. I really wonder why a relatively small amount of human feedback has that effect, while training on this gigantic human-written corpus doesn’t seem to introduce the same biases. That hints at something interesting going on.
> they build a big ball of little balls of mud

Nah, they make a lot of sturdy, well structured rocky balls.

And let them move around a big mud soup that is outside of their sight. So they don't even see mud.
Screw that indeed, but in reality, here in the US/Canada, if you are dealing with a group of people who are 100% iPhone/iMessage, you have a pretty low chance of getting them all to switch to WhatsApp to accommodate you, the one lonely Android user who must be poor or stubborn or something.

Caveat: I successfully did it with one group of friends. Have completely failed in all other attempts.
> frankly is coming off like some kind of attempt to gaslight the thread down a path of "this was never a concern and no one was suggesting this".

I mean, I literally quoted an MP saying "The debate on key escrow raged for some time" and linked to the full debate in which it was spoken; hardly a sensible "escrow was never a concern" move. The Telepolis link backs this up with detail - escrow was proposed by the Tories, pledged against yet initially retained by Labour, and eventually withdrawn.

The comment to which I was replying said that an entire bill was junked. I think it's much more interesting, and indeed important, to note that in actuality the act passed with an explicit prohibition of escrow. If the bill was dropped then it would likely have been a case of the govt going, oh, damn, we got embarrassed - kill it for now, we'll come back to it later, but bury it under something else. But no - there was public debate, and democracy functioned as we would all hope - a terrible idea was proposed, defeated, and legislated against.
Fair enough, but these N billion humans also comprise the "unimaginable super-intelligence" that fails to solve basic collective action problems like climate change and overfishing, and which fights immensely destructive wars with itself every generation. It's exactly what it says on the tin, the common greatness and stupidity of humanity that we are all familiar with from every day experience; there's no need to dress it up as a superintelligence to claim that AI will never be able to rival it. AI can certainly beat Kasparov at chess, and another N billion humans won't change that by producing a Magnus Carlsen. With our collective efforts we might produce a better Stockfish, but that rebuttal would be begging the question.
Agree that income tax is a problem, but do not agree with your solution using property tax.

I believe consumption tax is a better approach, in my opinion.

Consumption tax is immediate, indiscriminate at the time we spend the money, while property tax tends to be applied at various times throughout the life of the property.
Snapchat continues its nearly decade-long habit of forcing changes on users that they hate. Remember the massive UI redesign that saw them lose millions of users ? https://www.theverge.com/2018/8/7/17661878/snapchat-earnings... or when they turned on everyone's location sharing and made it opt-out?
I use almost all of minad's packages: Vertico, Consult, Marginalia, Corfu, and now Jinx. I have `jinx-correct` bound to `C-;` (previously bound to `flyspell-correct` for when I used to use flyspell) and I find myself hitting that key when typing in a web form. (Like now!)

The UX is so nice: no need to reach for a mouse to correct a word.
> It's not about being niche, bikeshedding, or yak shaving. It's just about getting as close as possible to perfection.

Did you mean to write "getting as close as reasonably possible to perfection"? Because getting as close as possible to perfection absolutely does involve bikeshedding and yak-shaving; that's why the saying "perfect is the enemy of good" exists and why people are generally advised to avoid gold-plating.
IIRC, "spaces in file paths breaks programs" is explicitly why Windows uses "Program Files" as its default installation path; so that programs would be written with robustness to that.
There is no need to ban encryption in client-server protocols like HTTPS. Just require that servers logs all session keys for future lawful access.

I appreciate the idea, but it's also a border line crime if you end up bringing down the requester (not that I would shed any tears).
At least in the U.S., it's already covered:

1A: "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press."

4A: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
These guys aren't so much selling shovels as selling advice on which shovel to buy despite the fact they've never dug a hole before.
Wut? You can share databases and simply not write to the shared database because it’s a read only replica. Saves a bunch of overhead…

There’s a dozen reasons to share a db.
Yes, it is. And their items are status symbols that people in developing countries who come across wealth tend to chase, preventing money from flowing within their own communities. Europe doesn't hold any sort of exclusivity on clothing, bags, etc. There are plenty of artisans outside the region who could meet the same quality standards if new brands arise in these regions.
I think the issue is way simpler. I don't think its a backlash against AI as the article makes it out to be. The "My AI" 'user' is pinned to the top of your chat list. You can not remove it. If they simply gave users an option to turn it on or off the problem would be solved.
This makes the assumption that people will respond on Slack in a timely manner.

Absolutely.

Actively disqualifying people that are not a good fit is a vital part of any business. The people that get easily annoyed are going to be a huge pain at every step, while the real customers buy silently.

Also, when people have a true need, the pop-up is not an annoyance. I do agree that "subscribe to our newsletter" is not a great pitch, but it's a problem of content, not of method. If you get a pop-up on a website offering you a solution of a pressing problem you have, that pop-up is not an annoyance, but an opportunity.

And finally, even if one would be interested in measuring how many of these annoyed visitors there are, that's not really something you can measure. Conversions, instead, are a concrete metric.
No doubt you've dispassionately gone out of your way to assesss that evidence and after detailed examination decided it's invalid. Which would be a perfectl reasonable step to make - if that's what you did. Did you?
A high power DC charger (50-350kW) puts higher peak load on the grid, and therefore the infrastructure needs to be sized to meet that peak load. A lower power 240V home charger (5-6kW) doesn't demand nearly as much real time power from the grid, and so doesn't require as much infrastructure, especially if it can be charged during off-peak hours.
I'm confused, are you suggesting that malnourished kids should pay for their own lunch (or for that matter, education?). There are some services we have to collectively pay for to live in a stable society.
That’s quite possible, but the stock price rose along with increased revenue. Revenue is used to pay salaries, and it‘s also spent on taxes at a higher rate than in the U.S.

So in this case, consumption by a wealthy customer base benefits a broader population as well. The wealth actually does “trickle down” to an extent.
Again, Angele Merkel is a pretty convincing counterexample.

Would anybody disagree that LVMH's success is majority (50%+) driven by "cognitive dissonance"?

> One of the key drivers for people from modest financial backgrounds to spend on luxury goods is aspirational buying. Owning an item from a prestigious brand like LVMH is perceived as a status symbol, and it allows individuals to feel like they belong to a higher social class.

If you come from a modest financial background (aka, probably behind the curve on retirement/investment/emergency savings/debt/net worth goals), then dream of an expensive item you can't really afford so that it will make you feel richer than you are, while the cost of the item sets you back FURTHER on a goal you were already behind on...

What % of LVMH buyers have a less than $10k net worth? What's the breakdown of their revenue/sales from "people who are ultra-wealthy and can actually afford a $100k Birkin bag" versus "people who shouldn't be buying any Gucci/LV $300-$1.2k products whatsoever from a financial well-being perspective"

This is a quote from the Cyber Essentials requirements (https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/files/Cyber-Essentials-Requirements-...):

"""
The Applicant must be active in its management of computers and network devices. It must routinely

...

remove or disable unnecessary software (including applications, system utilities and network services)

So, based on the quote above, curl.exe must be removed if it is not used, no matter whether it is vulnerable or not (yes I know it is a misreading, but it's frightening that the most literal interpretation is a misreading).

I read this as “The government’s role is to nudge people into what the government determines is better than the people’s natural inclination.”

Did I understand that correctly? If I did, I don’t think anyone would disagree… in theory. The problem is there’s no standard way to measure and certainly no agreement on what that collective equilibrium should be.

Until we figure that out—no thanks. I’ll take my naturally not-as-optimized freedom without the government’s input.
