Sounds like marketing; if they call it a canal there's longer ones, if they call it a river it has its own definitions. Or something.
Well, they certainly did that. But how many billions of dollars in mobile revenue did they lose once Apple and Google dropped their game from the app stores? Pretty expensive PR exercise.
I believe the Vatican passport is also in contention for that title. And now that I think about it, I wonder how many North Korean passports have been issued?
If I understand it correctly, they are reaffirming the decision that Apple has to allow developers to link to other payment options? Which mostly mollifies the issue IMO no? I can just create a link to my site for payment?

It's been good. Very simple and reliable. Has barely changed in years of use and hasn't needed to.
So all the $0 that CentOS brought in wasn't replaced by the $0 charged for CentOS Stream?

I know people love the idea that CentOS was somehow bringing business to Red Hat and/or the change to CentOS Stream caused Red Hat to lose revenue but ... not so much.

If people moved from CentOS to Rocky or Alma, they weren't likely to hand money to Red Hat in any event. I have no idea whether or how many people were converted from CentOS 8 to RHEL, but I doubt that was a huge bump either.

(Full disclosure: Former Red Hatter, no longer there as of last year. Not directly or even peripherally involved in CentOS for a lot longer than that.)
Now at 140% of my usual brightness! #Betelgeuse
This is the brightest it's been in some time. Astronomers believe Betelgeuse could explode at any point within the next 100,000 years, which is actually very soon on a cosmic timescale. Betelgeuse is 642.5 lightyears from Earth, so if we see it go supernova in the immediate future, it would have actually happened in 1381.
Many believe there is a direct choice between best tool for a type of job, and a best tool for a type of person.

The right path is having tools the team is currently, or will be productive with, and isn't the markedly wrong tool for a type of job.
That wouldn't reassure me at all. Just because an application is phoning home at random intervals in no way means that the data wasn't being continuously collected.

What would reassure me is if the data were all in human-readable form and given to me to transmit myself.

You should call them representatives then. Leaders lead.
Unless they have a non-IP based communication system, then they'll fall afoul of the same thing all online analytics services do - they'll be collecting, at least ephemerally, personal data under the EU definition.

I wonder if this will effectively ban LLMs like the similar legislation in Europe?
Perhaps? I think they've raised something like 13B, Lyft is at ~3B or so. Its within the realm of reasonable at some price/structure, but I have no insight into that other than it seems like a decent partnership.

> This monarch was sworn in as king in the Majlis way before ’53. Kindly explain how he was “installed” in ’53 by the CIA.

Basically, the Shah assumed direct rule in an autocoup (after a first failed autcoup) in an effort he was threatened with being deposted by the CIA into participating in, with US- and UK- and their Iranian pawns both orchestrating pro-Mossadegh anti-Shah demonstrations and violence, then pro-Communist anti-Shah anti-Mossadegh demonstrations and violence, and, ultimately, the pro-Shah military moves directed against the waves of violence and lawlessness that they themselves had sponsored.
The closest thing to a universal approach would be a Kalman filter. It's usually where you start when you have noisy measurements coming in, and you need to maintain state such as value and derivative.

Since the original question was about computing the velocity of a car, and since I work in the automotive field, let's take a real example: you want to know the approximate position, acceleration, and velocity (linear and angular) of your car. Your inputs are driven wheel speed (noisy, affected by wheelspin), non-driven wheel speed (noisy), accelerometer output (inaccurate, only present for some axes), GPS position (updated occasionally, has errors), and steering angle (pretty accurate, can be put into a chassis dynamics model). Almost certainly, you would use a Kalman filter to estimate the state of the car. Naive approaches such as subtracting two wheel speed values to obtain acceleration will not work well.

My point is that we should remember that numerical algorithms are a developed field with a lot of knowledge, and we should take advantage of the proven approaches. Sometimes, programmers who are not specifically from the physics or numerical fields, and who need to perform some computation, reach for a very simple approach such as the rectangle-rule integrals, and get bad results.
I think I agree with what you said. That being said, for me when it comes to balance work (as in “working for company X for Z money/year) vs non-work, I put all the weight in non-work. That means:

- in-person is better for collaboration than Zoom? Of course, but if I have to commute 30 min each way to see you, then Zoom it is

- being around other office people at lunch time is cool sometimes? Yeah, but if I have to rent an expensive and small apartment in the city to being able to be at the office at lunch time, then Zoom it is
> Opt out is reasonable

I strongly disagree with this and think much less of companies who do it that way. That said, that battle is already lost anyway.
What are you referring to with Dropbox here?

They are exactly the type of company that I hope to god never tries to innovate very much. They provide exactly the type of service many of us need- 100% reliable file syncing.

I don't need them to do anything else and I don't want them to do anything else. So I'm not really sure what AI has to do with them..
For suitable specialized cases thins can be quite efficient. For persistent H_0 of VR-complexes in low-dimensional space there is an O(N log(N)) algorithm for N data points; that's decently fast. If you want H_1 I believe (but cannot prove) that there exists an O(N^2 log(N)) algorithm. Beyond H_1 things get painful. Since most PH software is written for general cases they don't tend to avail themselves of these special case shortcuts. Given that H_0 and H_1 of VR-complexes of low dimensional data covers a vast amount of the use cases I think specialized code for this would be worthwhile.
It of course depends on where you live but in my area ticks are not a concern and just keeping weeds out of your lawn takes a lot of work, dandelions take over within a couple years if all you do is mow. Keeping things reasonably green and level requires filling, fertilizer, overseeding, etc, etc. We plan to gradually convert most of ours to native bushes and meadow.
General relativity doesn't really say forces don't exist, it just says that they're a secondary, and relative, effect caused by a more fundamental phenomenon, i.e. the curvature of spacetime due to the presence of mass/energy.

Just as centrifugal force is a relative effect that you only observe in a rotating (i.e. accelerated) reference frame, the force of gravity is also a relative effect that you only observe in an accelerated reference frame.

Standing on Earth, we're accelerating towards the center at 9.8 m/s^2, and we feel that as weight due to a force of gravity that we experience in our reference frame.

If you jump out of a plane, though, you feel weightless (especially if you can arrange to do so in a vacuum), because you're in "free fall" - you're following the curvature of spacetime. In your reference frame, you're not experiencing the force of gravity.

This demonstrates that gravity, like centrifugal force, is a "fictitious" force - which doesn't really mean that it's not real, but rather that it's a secondary effect that depends on your reference frame.

This is a hard bet to take because we also don't know what other changes will take effect by then.

Perhaps the government reclassifies full-time employment to mean 24 hours/week. Now everyone can stay employed full-time, but the same number of human hours of work are getting done.

In any event, I don't think this will happen by 2030, but by 2040, absolutely.

>> How can a country that is barely even 300 years old, have such a bloated ego.What deep rooted insecurity makes it necessary to toot ones horn, long after all neighbors have gone deaf?

I don't know what has caused you to lash out in that manner, but that was unnecessary. OP did not make a claim that the California aqueduct was the longest man-made river, merely that the aqueduct is longer than the Egyptian project, so the latter's claim to the longest man-made river might not be valid.

> This is true for rights, which don't get diluted through assembly

Calling it "assembly" is disingenuous (this is directed at the legal canon, not you). Generally companies aren't just mere assemblies of people, but rather are separate legal entities whose members have limited liability. Just as it's accepted for a company to say to an employee "if you want to get paid your 1st amendment rights are irrelevant", it would be reasonable for the government to say "if you want to have a statutory liability shield, your 1st amendment rights are irrelevant for activities facilitated by the shield".

> Not entirely true. See: EULA enforceability as it pertains to natural persons

I didn't say there weren't exceptions. Just overwhelmingly when a new regulation is created that requires "consent", the main result is for there to be a new piece of paper that people are forced to sign to "give consent". Rarely is there spelled out a path where the individual can refuse to give consent and still obtain a service that didn't intrinsically require it.

> Making information one's inalienable property that can only be revocably licensed sounds neat, but it doesn't add value over enumerating data rights.

The value is that trying to carve out new rights is an uphill battle, whereas dovetailing into the customs of commerce might just be possible. For example you had mentioned carve outs in the various state attempts at privacy laws due to the 1st amendment. Whereas those carve outs (unfortunately) don't exist for copyright!

But sure, I do support trying to carve out completely new rights to repudiate our burgeoning surveillance society. It's just that the way the legislative process works in this country, it will be an amazing feat if the drafting process doesn't end up gutting most individual rights while still creating a bunch of red tape to stifle competition. Hence the attraction to copying GDPR wholesale and letting the courts sort it out.
On the one hand it’s bad that apple can continue to gatekeep it’s ecosystem, on the other, it does prevent other companies from doing nefarious things.

We need to remember when Epic was engaged is scanning your computer for steam data. Leaving it up to individual companies, they’ll definitely try and do much more damage. And it gets especially worse when the devs are some obscure company in the corner of the world.

One has to distinguish between management and upper management. I have met plenty of middle managers (e.g., Engineer managers) who love working from home, but have to sell the “go back to the office “ idea because it’s coming from upper management.

In the US, the biggest issue with meadows is legislative: In my entire county, my ordinance, I have to have a lawn, not dirt, and it has to be no greater than 8 inches tall. I couldn't avoid it by moving my property closer to the road either: Minimum setback is 15 feet. This standards can, and often are, raised by further municipal codes and home owner associations.

Therefore, getting a meadow here starts with changing multiple layers of regulations. Much better for the environment, but a significant amount of work, arguing with people that just don't want anything to change.
Dasher is really fun!

I’m shocked that people worked in an office together and the junior person never got mentored.

It seems like if that was your goal that you’d have to go well out of your way to avoid accidentally mentoring someone. “Oh, here’s the trick I just used in the debugger.” “I’ll sketch the architecture change I’m proposing on the whiteboard.” “Why don’t you shadow me in this meeting or interview or presentation?”

I can’t imagine how I’d setup an in-person work arrangement to avoid mentoring.

It's possible for it to be useless now, while being incredibly useful in the future. Prompting chat GPT manually can be very time consuming, especially with how long it takes to spit out a result. If something like AutoGPT can make it so I only need to write one or two prompts to get what I want, then it's already become useful. For reference, When I've used gpt to work on simple websites I generally end up using 10+ prompts.There is a trade off where it will definitely use more tokens than I would while prompting, though.

One interesting benefit of projects like AutoGPT is that it will be able to immediately benefit from improved models, assuming access is granted.

The best way to formulate an accurate mental model is to actually use ChatGPT.
A funny thing that made the rounds on social media over here a few years ago was somebody buying a translated copy of Moby Dick. Turned out it was evidently translated by Google translate or some similar service, and it was atrocious.

Literally the first sentence "Call me Ishmael" was translated as if the meaning was to tell Ishmael to call the story teller on the phone.

This makes sense. How would they regulate, for example, sales of ad targeting information (which might be very exact) based on said personal data?
I'm not sure of the answer, but it's generally the case that things affect us much more negatively when we have no control over them and feel at their mercy. I haven't read TFA to see if they controlled for this, but it wouldn't surprise me if that was actually the majority of the problem.

Edit:

It would be great to do a study where people learn a technique like meditation to be less "bothered" by noise and see how that affects their biomarkers.

"Many different standards" means "no standard".

Apple ignored them because none of them were standards until very, very late
In the context of the UK you are wrong. Here's what the RHS has to say about growing a meadow: https://www.rhs.org.uk/lawns/wildflower-meadow-maintenance You will notice that maintenance for an established meadow consists of three cuts a year, two of which are not needed in certain circumstances.

Yup, I'd rather pay Bitwarden a nominal fee and be able to authenticate everywhere, than deal with the incredible amount of unnecessary friction google has imposed since forever. Never going back.
Same. When I started using 1p, the vault was stored locally, and it was possible to decrypt it at the command line using openssl. They prided themselves on this. They moved to cloud-based, and at one point I went to check if data export worked, and it did not. I opened a support ticket, and before even offering any actual help they wanted to know why I wanted to export my data anyway. Then they wanted me to download and run some telemetry binary to collect info about my system. I figured out the problem myself without them, and told them why I felt this meant they now had a value set that meant I could not rely on them going forward. They offered me a discount code.

Bitwarden is great.
Cloudflare doesn't really cache your data, it requests a lot your upstreams, doesn't act as a private cache. If you send any authenticated requests it won't serve cached content even if it could store and serve the cached response.

Lightning was introduced in 2012. So you're trying to say that it was competitive for just a year?

Of course that's bullshit.

> High power charging standards were around since 2012 at least.

And those standards (multiple) are? You're probably referring to Power Delivery which was finalised the year Lightning was released? Or the finally upgraded versions of Power Delivery that only appeared with USB-C (that mess of a standard where you don't even know if a cable is capable of doing anything)?

I used to live in an apartment where the upstairs neighbour would just randomly start trampling super hard. If it had been a constant noise - like the cars driving outside - my brain would probably have gotten accustomed to it. It seemed to me like it was agitating because it was at random times, when I wasn't expecting it.

When I turn on the bass, I am in control. I can turn it on when I don't have anything important going on and I can always turn it off. That makes the bass enjoyable. If it's somebody else's bass, then I don't know when it starts, when it ends and whether it will interrupt me. That's the source of frustration for me.

I'm generally fine with monotonous background noise, as long as it's not too loud. There's probably still some subtle passive effect on my health, but I can live with that.
