This is false. Created account just to rebut.

While it may have been true that it was technically possible to assemble a PC for $500... good luck. In the real world people were spending $1500-$2500+ for PCs, and that price point held remarkably constant. By the time you were done buying a monitor, external drives, printer etc $3000+ was likely.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Personal_Computer#:~:tex....

Or see Apple Mac 512 introduced at approx $2800? One reason this was interesting (if you could afford it) was the physical integration and elimination of "PC" cable spaghetti.

But again having worked my way thru college with an 8 MB external hard drive... which was a huge improvement over having to swap and preload floppies in twin external disk drives just to play stupid (awesome) early video games, all of this stuff cost a lot more than youre saying. And continued to well into the 90s.

Of course there are examples of computers that cost less. I got a TI-99/4a for Christmas which cost my uncle about $500-600. But then you needed a TV to hook it up to, and a bunch of tapes too. And unless you were a nerd and wanted to program, it didn't really DO anything. I spent months manually recreating arcade video games for myself on that. Good times. Conversely, if you bought an IBM or Apple computer, odds were you were also going to spend another $1000 or more buying shrinkwrap software to run on it. Rather than writing your own.

Why does Apple even care? They don't add chargers with their phones anyway.
And overcharging for a regular usb-c charger with a Apple logo on it seems to be quite in their wheelhouse.
Their usage of word "On-Premise" instead of "on prem" or "on premises"!!!
The irony at the heart of this essay is that it doesn’t give any examples. It doesn’t make it possible to make any solid criticisms. I wonder whether the author is really seeking the truth, or whether they are just an example of the twisted faith they complain about.

For example:

> However, reality is much more sombre. The language explosion is more cancerous in nature. Each new language is a malformed confirmation of someones belief system.

Which languages? Name them, and state how they’re “a malformed confirmation of someones belief system”.

Wouldn't need one... He obviously eats a lot of fish.
I may be recalling it incorrectly, but wasn't the EU's stance on chargers the reason phones stopped shipping with proprietary chargers and started using USB? Accessories were big money for phone manufacturers so I don't think they would have done it without regulatory intervention. I think the adoption of Micro USB (and now USB C) was a huge improvement for consumers and the environment.
"Make this supply-limited good available" is a problem that markets love to solve; in fact we do quite a lot of work to place constraints on many markets so that their solutions take forms with specific properties. In principle, we can relax constraints. USA baby formula at the time had very strong constraints ("nutritional labelling must take this precise form", https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cms_ia/importalert_116.html) which could be relaxed.
Wireless data transfer isn’t tenable for people taking hi-res photos or videos with their phones. According to Apple a one-minute 10-bit ProRes video is approximately 1.7GB in 1080p and approximately 6GB in 4K.

If Apple ever revives AirPower then I could see them removing the charging port on lower tier models but Pros would definitely need it.
Not a great answer for the GP though.

Last ten years? Maybe something in deep learning.
I’m not sure that the point can be made much more succinctly, although I agree the original wasn’t written very understandably. I’ve reformulated my point at greater length in response to the sibling.

I’ve tried GPT on some topics in philosophy of language, and it hasn’t really done particularly well. I don’t have any strong reason to think that such limitations will either persist or be overcome, however.
I'd argue it semi-intentional in the sense there's liitle error to fit it. Why? Because when the DOJ comes knocking with charges of monopoly Google can say, "Does this history and dumpster fire look like a monopoly to you?"

Their dysfunction is a form of self-defense (while search + ads keeps printing money).
If the party truly be over, I'd call the first sign of taking away the punch bowl as having been way back when they kicked programmers out of offices and into cubicles. (it should be needless to say that I don't see why anyone would put up with open plan)
What else is in the backend transaction data?
They just don't communicate using JSON.

I once reported a leak on a government website to the National Cyber Security Centre, hoping to get a cool t-shirt out of it ("I hacked the Dutch government and all I got was this lousy t-shirt").

Turns out that system wasn't government but contracted out to the private sector. That got me into a lot of trouble since I reported a leak on a private company. Luckily I didn't get arrested or sued after explaining my intentions.

I have since not disclosed anything I find. Too much of a risk.
For low-speed (USB 2.0) devices, there are exactly three cables. One supports up to 60W, one supports up to 100W, and one supports up to 100W.

Considering all the devices you listed need less than 60W, they should charge with all cables. If they do not, the manufacturer gave you a broken cable which does not follow the USB-C specification. Blame the manufacturer, not USB-C.

You can expose Home Assistant to the internet (preferably using a reverse proxy like Traefik or Nginx, which is basically what your $6 gets you anyway) to make Google Assistant work properly with it.

> but intuitively it would seem a bit weird to me if they just happened to be restricted to exactly the same part of the spectrum as our eyes as a hardware limitation

being restricted to ~visible spectrum is a design goal for a camera, since we expect it to produce images that look like what we see. Your usual camera sensor will see a bit further into infrared than humans do (hence why cameras usually contain a filter filtering that out), but not so far that it is in any way useful for things that aren't burning hot. E.g. with cheap digital cameras with bad filters you might see the coals of campfire being slightly tinted wrong, because those get hot enough to be visible, but everything else is not affected, and you'd think a camera was bad if it were
It's not just the iPhone/smartphone. If you showed me just the device in 2005, I'd probably have been "OK. Cool. But how well does it work without a keyboard?" And, in fact, I had a Treo in 2006 and didn't buy an iPhone until around 2010 or so. What was really game changing was the whole app ecosystem and universality of mobile. And that wasn't really in place until maybe close to ten years ago.

LLMs/generative AI could be game changing although I'm somewhere on the fence between this year's hype and this will change everything. Autonomous driving could be pretty radical as well but it would have to be pretty general purpose and that doesn't seem close to reality.
I am mostly fine with Marco but he introduces so much fluff and nonsense that I subconsciously avoid listening to ATP.
The big difference here is that prestige has nothing to do with cost, unlike your Louis Voutton comparison. Prestige is entirely based on the perception of the journals among scientists and on the prestige of the papers themselves that are published in them.

And the scientists individually don't have a choice unless they are closer to the end of their career. Intentionally publishing in less prestigious journals will sabotage your career, period.

And there are certainly aspect here that people without any more in-depth knowledge can criticize, e.g. the overall issue that publicly-funded research is put behind paywalls or that a very large part of the work gets done by reviewers that are not even paid by the publishers but mostly by the public.

I did this migration on my phone and it broke reminder creation on my Google smart speakers. Only works on my phone now.
It's otherwise good, but the Fastmail calendar sadly doesn't have an Android widget, nor can you create reminders like in Google Calendar. You can only create events.

I migrated emails to Fastmail a few years ago, but have been holding on to Google Calendar.
I'm just experimenting with this. Is there a way to make the week view scroll a week at a time instead of a day? Is there a way to duplicate an event?
This isnt necessarily true. There is some study out there where subjects were either given saline, or a moderate dose of LSD, and it was only like 60% of subjects were able to tell which was which.
Serverless isn't "cheap". It's rightsized. If you aren't serving 24/7, it makes sense to move to an on-demand model. However if you compare the unit of compute pricing, Lambda is comparable to other services, and likely more expensive than buying compute wholesale. You can just buy it in smaller portions.
Why spend time undermining people's preferences?
I try to use it as often as possible as a rubber duck. It feels sort of like pair programming with someone who has a pretty good idea of how most common libraries work, but where the details are fuzzy and a bit outdated.

The HR team uses it all the time to generate initial drafts for job descriptions and the like.

A member of the product team pointed our API documentation at it and asked it to write a simple query. 99% of the code was correct, except it used the wrong header for authentication. Lo and behold, that was something we hadn't documented very well!

We did an employee survey a few months ago on who was using AI tools and how, and I'm confident that usage has gone up significantly since then. I know mine has.
Thanks for the link that is informative.
Maybe they should pay more. That's usually the way to attract workers.
NPD is largely defined by the inability to experience empathy. They don’t know they are assholes, or worse, feed of a high they get when people think they are assholes when they think they are right.
Oh wow, that sounds incredibly frustrating. It seems wise to consider that it might be a fermentation problem, perhaps a serious imbalance of microbes or something.

Good luck. I dealt with GI issues that lead to both physical and psychological misery once (after repeated courses of antibiotics), and my advice is to hang in there — you could find something that works for you, even it takes a while.

The Google specific issues aside I wonder if the average smart-home enthusiast will ever make 10% of the money and time back they apparently invest into their smart homes.

To me this isn't really about a single company, it's about shoving so much tech into your home that barely does anything it's no wonder something always breaks. How many years of uninterrupted light switch pressing do you need to do before this actually pays off?
No. But ubiquity and smartphones being just part of the fabric of everyday life comes pretty close to squeezing into the last decade. I didn't have one until probably 2011 (iPhone 3GS) and I'm not really a technology laggard.
The third note of a major a scale is also the sixth.
I'm saying that requirement is no longer relevant because of a shift in how I use the device. It still does have a wired charging port though. Why not both?
Yes, my manager is aware of what I’m dealing with in my personal life. However, it doesn’t seem like that has any bearing on performance reviews. I can easily see how people dealing with situations like this can face burnout.
Modern C++ is one such example.
It has a track record of adopting paradigms that are then rejected by consensus (strong OO).
It adopts modern practices because other people like them. Not because it has practical evidence that they are worthwhile.
Who says IE had poor standards support?
Meh. IMO it’s not particularly great at impersonating things convincingly without fine tuning or thorough prompting.

Example, ask it to be an air traffic controller. You will need to spend a lot of time making it sound reasonably accurate.
They also are very slowly "injecting" shorts everywhere. I'm randomly browsing the feed, not shorts, click on something and before I know it, I'm watching shorts. And yeah, they also recently added a shorts "pane" on the side of normal videos.
Because USB-C does not have a defined "upstream" and "downstream" side of the cable, a user could connect two chargers together. This is obviously a bad idea.

To prevent this, a USB-C charger is only allowed to provide power on the cable once it senses a downstream device on the other side. A legacy USB-A to USB-C cable always applies power, though, as this does not provide any danger.

Some low-quality brands think they are smart and leave out the two $0.001 resistors needed for the device to advertise itself. This means it will only work with a USB-A to USB-C cable, and not a real USB-C charger.
I should have said ‘conflict of intuitions’, not ‘interest’; it’s too late to edit now.
> Apple did it twice!

Thrice, in fact! 68000 -> PowerPC, PowerPC -> Intel, Intel -> ARM/Apple Silicon
On Android you can install https://newpipe.net and turn off a lot of things: no more trending/start screen recommendations if you don't want them, you can turn off comments, or "watch next" recommendations.. the shorts show up in the search results like other normal videos, with a slider so you can still navigate it.
Even better than voting is writing and calling. Those are a much stronger signal than voting, which is a binary sort of blunt instrument.

Imagine you just got voted in to office. How do you have any idea which of the ideas on your campaign platform were the ones that got you elected? How do you know what people want you to do -- be it because you actually care, or are purely self-interested and want to get re-elected? Was it abortion rights, or school vouchers, or tax policy, or what? Remember that people run on a big basket of policy positions, of which environment is only part, and within environmental policy there are lots of different specific options.

If you get a hundred letters and calls about people all asking specifically for carbon taxes and/or a transition to nuclear power, THAT is a much clearer signal. Maybe you are a diehard anti-nuclear kind of person, but if you see that your constituents are mostly for it, you realize you may need to re-evaluate your beliefs, or perhaps just grit your teeth and compromise a bit if you want to stay in power. Maybe you are really anti-tax, but when a debate comes up for carbon taxes, you don't speak up against them. Maybe you mention to one of your colleagues "Gee, I've been getting a lot of push for carbon taxes in my district. What about you?" and they say they have too, and the Overton window for carbon taxes shifts just a bit more.

Maybe you're already for nuclear power, but you just want to make sure that if you support the next bill to make it more feasible by reducing over-regulation on it or by providing subsidies, you won't get voted out! You need people to show their support for the policies you already want!

So you don't really know what each vote actually means, unless people tell you.

I use ChatGPT sometimes outside of work too, for hobby projects.

In what way does it generate more e-waste than any other cable? Unless you switch back and forth between iPhone and Android regularly, you’ll need roughly the same number of cables regardless of the platform.
In theory, yes. The specification mandates that all USB-C cables must have 2.0 wires, but in practice some cheap brands have invented "charge-only" cables which lack them.

Very interesting. The increase in Coeliac disease will mostly be due to the advent of a useful blood test to detect it. The lack of association between other autoimmune diseases and multiple sclerosis fits with the recent identification of Epstein-Barr virus as a probable causative agent. The reduction in pernicious anaemia could be explained by reductions in the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (due to effective treatment and improvements in food handling).
