All that tracking data will be sent back to the mothership. First, Apple will deny that there's data collection. Then they will say they're keeping the data private. Then they will say it's being only being used for "anonymous tracking". Then it will come out it's being sold for marketing purposes.

"It will even offer "All Day People Discovery," which will track the user's proximity to others, drawing distinctions between work colleagues and friends."

That could be really useful for tracking down illegal immigrants, gays, and politicians meeting with lobbyists.
Unfortunately it takes that kind of language to get some people to even notice men face issues.

The constant bombardment of "Men's advantages" by many groups has had the effect that empathy for men's issues non-existent unless it intersects with problems that matter to them.
The old Burroughs systems (up to at least the B7700) didn't really have MMUs in the traditional sense - their descriptors only reserved 20 bits for (word addresses) so they were limited to ~6Mb of addressing - not a big deal when we had paid over a US$ million for 1.5Mb of B6700 core, no one could have afforded more - they paged segments (much as a 432 would have) and also supported segments chunked into 256 word chunks for large arrays (at the cost of an extra memory access per lookup).

To your second point, this continues today: currently in the US, the more sprawl-friendly the local geography and politics, the lower the housing prices, because it's easier to build out than to replace old residential homes and apartments with new, denser versions.

Our culture is trying to destroy the masculine as fast as it can. Tate and the rise of Islam is a reaction to it.

You can look at all the Disney movies for kids: all men are stupid, liars, stealer, and when you hit them it’s funny. On the opposite the feminine is often perfect, manage it all on the first try.

Currently most men get soft and depressed, a few react in opposition to the current progressive narrative.

Thank you, I am collecting promtps creators.
Those look like interesting options, and they're surely be more reliable than relying on the phone's own SMS capabilities, but I wasn't able to find a public API for any of those services. As far as SMS rate limiting goes, I agree that multiple numbers would be good. Perhaps if there's a demand for it, I can create a feature that switches numbers from the database on the fly as it notices some are hung up.

>FYI most carriers consider Person to Person messaging to be below 1 message per minute and run between 40% inbound to 60% inbound messages.

Yep, I've read into that a little. I wasn't able to find anything explicitly forbidding a service like this in their terms, although there's a lot of legal documents that carriers have so I could have missed it. I read that you should expect about 1 SMS/second on consumer carriers, but it seems like I'm able to get about 2-3 SMS/second in my testing.

I didn't know about carriers having an unlimited SMS threshold... I'll have to look into that, thanks for the heads up!
Apparently, it’s reducing that individuals are what they are, because of the circumstances that created them (like root cause analysis).

This is in contrast to assigning some other factor that may be that might be too paternalistic, too taboo or too “blamey” to consider (like incompetence or a lack of spirituality/belief).

It’s a bit of a mindfuck for me, because how else are you going to explain a given situation without looking at the factors that created them.
I've read a lot of answers which suggest the usual things that are considered in the wider community, so it is a bit surprising that there are no AI type solutions put forth in this site for hackers.

Surely some way to detect and extinguish the beginnings - where these escape notice far from human eyes and noses - has a coding or robotics solution?
I don't know how to tell you that you can't jump to conclusions from 3 data points. I guess you don't understand that.

"I meant to discuss the original commenter's opinion that global warming was accelerating. It's not accelerating. It's slowing."

I don't think you can conclude this at this time, but even if you want to believe it, it's still increasing (GHGs in the atmosphere and temperatures), and that's very bad news.

"You can also see this in how the actual temperature of the earth (the only metric that matters) has not increased in the past few years"

Again, you can't draw conclusions from 3 data points. Not sure if you are arguing in bad faith here, or simply don't understand. Look back at either the temperature graph or the emissions graph and you can find several 3 year periods where it didn't increase, then it shot right back up again. In the case of the last few years of temperatures, that's due to the La Nina (link below) which lowers temperatures, when we switch back to the El Nino it's going to shoot up again, and likely start breaking records again. We are not on the right track, and all of the evidence shows this.

I'm sure there are plenty of people who will be perfectly happy with an iPhone without an App Store or any third party apps, and there's nothing stopping them from using it in such a way today.

For others, it's important to have the ability to use their device in ways that aren't 100% controlled by a single company. It's about having a choice and having alternate options. Large platform providers going "we know what is good for you" has been a major setback for personal computing over the last decade or two, and it's sad that so many consumers are enthusiastically accepting it as the new norm.
I mean I’m sick of it and see that voiced often. It could end when people stop responding to it.
It statistically outputs the next probable value of text. There is a lot of math related text in the CommonCrawl (likely the biggest source of it's training). That is all the company who owns it claims that it does. There is no calculation, therefor no basic arithmetic being done correctly.
If you bless some app with private permissions that allow it to do what Apple's competing app can do wrt whole-OS tracking, you now need a contract, some level of source code access, and a lot of time dedicated to reviewing what goes into that software to ensure the company isn't beaming it (even accidentally) to a third-party like FB via the FB SDK, and then Apple needs to make the decision "do we allow them to store this in their servers, or do we force them to do it on-device?".

In every situation, it makes more sense to segment and triage private APIs for a promotion to a public API with user-friendly permission prompts and controls to protect the user's data.
Not if they are starving. Starve now for sure, or starve later after getting paid - pretty easy choice.

Assuming subvolumes work you could dual boot and avoid having to partition your disk, which would allow you share the space on a drive freely between multiple OSes. That would be especially nice in places where drives and space are a premium, like a Steam Deck.

Essentialism is the idea that there is a pure form of something tied to its classification. Basically it's allowing classification to supersede qualification.

Originally it was used by right-leaning schools of thought to justify racism and sexism. They viewed women and minorities as "essentially" inferior as an essential factor of their classification as such.

Now it is used by left-leaning centers to create narratives of human. They view differences in human attainment essentially the cause of certain social factors, individuals and institutions that are justifiably characterized as such because they are "essentially" evil.
Men are stronger and inherently more violent then women. We commit most of the crime especially violent crime. Brutal but it helps with resource and power accumulation

Seems like either I haven't properly implemented the dictionary, or the default compression level is already set to max.
In my experience, it's not worth discussing or even mentioning men’s issues with anyone that isn’t a man. And even then, the type of man matters, because a straight white male will have a totally different perspective than say, a gay black man.
The theory and the practice of CDS’ have always been wildly different.

In theory, a CDS is “insurance” if a bond issuer defaults.

In reality, CDS’ are used to go in and out of positions on companies because contracts are too difficult and expensive to cancel. The end result is big firms end up with huge, complicated CDS positions all over the place for 5-10 years until the contracts cancel.

A CDS on the United States is another stupid end result just like CDO2 vehicles were.

The CDS market is just so incredibly flawed when markets are stressed.

No, that is not what I am saying at all.

Nobody has to learn everything, and 99.9% of information being sold is not actionable for the average person. There's a world of difference between treating experts as priests and considering what experts have to say while not blindingly believing them.

I'm saying that they neither need to know very much nor offload all their reasoning to someone else.

Plenty of experts speak inappropriately on topics outside their realm of expertise. The culture should encourage people to recognize when this happens and choose whether to dismiss the expert. A perfect example is many doctors, in particular M.D.s, who profess often foolish or obsolete views on things like nutrition, something which is not within the expertise of an M.D. The same goes for scientists commenting on politics, or science outside their domain of research. Or 20-something journalists making predictions about fields in which they've never actually practiced in. A significant amount of misinformation would be inoculated against with the recognition of misplaced authority and abuse of power.

It's called not being so gullible, and it doesn't take that much general knowledge that the average human brain can't grasp it. I'm sorry if it comes off as the expectation that individuals be the experts in many fields themselves, because if that's where our imagination keeps taking us, then maybe there really is no hope.
It's entirely due to Microsoft's hubris.

> you understand why this would be an immensely unappealing thing for a prospective teacher

Does how it is experienced depend on which “tribe” the teacher is more aligned with? I imagine a teacher who feels closer to the “blue tribe” is going to experience this as an attack on them and their profession, while a “red tribe” teacher is more likely to feel that the target is someone other than them, and may even agree with the law (or at least the intention behind it).

I know US teachers (and public school especially) tend to skew more “blue” than “red”, but I think the latter group are likely a larger percentage of them than many would think, especially in “red states”.

Is it fair to say that these people can buy a different product? Otherwise it sounds like you want iOS, and want Apple to put in the effort to make a product for you regardless of how that affects their margins, scope, public image, security, etc. If enough people are on your side, Apple will sell fewer iPhones, and the competitor that has these desired features will come out on top.
This is cool, but why does it require a login? I would guess it uses an LLM under the hood with a single-shot prompt to refine a given prompt.

> This was known in the trials used to gain emergency use, though reduction of transmission specifically was not part of the studies, it was understood that because infection rates were reduced they would reduce transmission.

Pfizer's press release very specifically did not say that. They correctly distinguished between SARS-CoV-2 (the virus) and COVID-19 (the disease caused by the virus), only claiming a reduction with the second and making no claims about the first. They avoided making any claims there because they did not test for the virus until after symptoms developed, making it impossible to make any claims about infection/transmission.

It was well-known for a month or two after the announcement, after which it got memory-holed hard:

I'm not sure why it's a "remember when". Every android phone you could buy at Best Buy today will have preinstalled, unremovable apps.
In theory, you could adapt this approach to whatever needs you have. I have heard people suggest implementing IP over SMS, setup as a local VPN. I would say the sky is the limit, but I think with how brittle, unreliable, and slow SMS is, IP over SMS would definitely be out of scope. If you wanted to make a quick jank solution to your problem, this app works with all HTTP GET requests. So, simply host a local webserver on your PC, have your server phone connected to the same Wi-Fi, and provide a text input box that will accept any command and append it to the url with a basic <form> tag. Then the server can generate the output, and send the result back to you.

Just to be clear, Lake Mead is an artificial lake that has always been expected to run out of water. Without human intervention to continuously refill the "lake" (really a reservoir), all of its water would eventually evaporate, even if we were to stop using it as a water source. It's a puddle in the middle of a desert. Its emptiness is not evidence of climate change nor of any trend of changing sea levels.
100%, somehow iOS/MacOS do exactly the wrong thing when it comes to handling audio streams. Two more:

1. when you turn on your car and it connects to iPhone via BT, it just starts playing what was last played in Apple Music, even if you were most recently listening to an Audible book and had paused it before.

2. Another is when you're playing music and then open a YouTube video. The pause button on the keyboard should pause the music (in the background) not the video (in the foreground), yet Apple insists on a simple foreground=control rule.

Apple OSes just have no mental model for what we want to be playing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ironic.

SO content is user generated. It is a bit rich for them to put a wall around it and claim that it is chargeable for use as an AI training set by other companies (unless they also have a plan to share the income with their users).

Especially so given their stance on cash bounties for answers/sponsored questions etc.,

The mods on SO and StackExchange family of sites frown upon cash bounties for answers. But when SO itself wants to erect a paywall around the Question-Answer set for AI training, it is somehow clean and moral.

I totally hear you, been down a similar path.

As for the "huge chinese" databases, not to sound like a conspiracy, but CockroachDB has outperformed them in my server load testing (stress test with very basic "SELECT FROM users" and "INSERT INTO users" on KC3000 + Ryzen 7950x)- so I'm beginning to seriously question all of the self-published benchmarks from mainland china.

That, and when one considers they have a similarly rough deployment story compared to ScyllaDB, is it maybe worth just going directly to ScyllaDB in the first place?

One other damming thing: I've also observed that all Spanner (Big Table) inspired databases have lower throughput compared to Postgres when under 5-ish servers: Aka you only begin to see throughput benefits after you have a sizeable cluster.

ScyllaDB / Cassandra is a different architecture, though.

Heck even Vitess, pretty rough deploy story as well (they really push k8s on you), but that's why PlanetScale exists, IMO.
