NC headphones typically have multiple microphones, the more there are, the better the NC can be. This is because the first part of NC is detecting ambient noise, the second being generating soundwaves to cancel out what's picked up by the mics.

With more mics it's possible to get more accurate NC, especially for directional sounds.

However more mics won't necessarily mean better call quality, they may not even be used at all for voice.

For example my Jabra NC pair has really good microphone quality for calls, this is done by having a dedicated boom microphone, in this case nothing to do with the multiple NC microphones.
But sometimes gifts have a way of multiplying. There are tons of stories written about how someone wrote a famous person and got back a personalized reply and was so inspired by that that they ended up contributing themselves to something worthwhile.

Faux leather or synthetic leather seem honest enough.

I would argue rather that the amount of complexity that frontend web devs put up with is more of a Stockholm Syndrome situation. You can be much simpler than most mainstream frameworks, using only standard JS, CSS, and HTML, and acheive better results.

Using custom elements and shadow DOM like this post is a big part of that. Custom elements give you a built-in component module, shadow DOM gives you compositions and style scoping.

I think using proxies like this post is a challenging because proxies are very hard to get correct when dealing with methods, collections, object identity, privacy, etc. but it turns out that many applications do just fine with a simple Redux-like store / action / subscribe system for data.

I personally think the project I work on (https://lit.dev) hits a sweet-spot of simplicity vs complexity because it also gives component reactivity, declarative templates, embedded CSS, with standard syntax and no build tools required. In more than 400 LoC, but only by ~3x.

I think the major argument against this theory is the map, as the article states. Most of the theories for their use are actually invalid simply by looking at the map of finds.

Fishing, toys, music, games, things that were global in the roman empire.

What the map shows is that it was used in the colder parts of the empire.

Do you happen to know where Apple's integrated approach falls on this spectrum?

I was actually wondering about this the other day. A fully maxed out Mac Studio is about $6K, and it comes with a "64-core GPU" and "128GB integrated memory" (whatever any of that means). Would that be enough to run a decent Llama?
Thanks for your response. I want to continue the conversation on bats so I won't respond about the other stuff.

Take a look at this. The bats are walking on all fours: https://youtu.be/ewmydjekJnU?t=62 This is not a vulnerable position as they crawl on all fours on cave walls rather then the ground. On the ground they are vulnerable, on the wall or ceiling of some cavernous structure they are safe.
The issue is that the definition of “statistics” is anchored in a magnitude of frequency of glyphs. The “information” is fabricated in this regard, pulled up out of the ether, and by decree christened as “meaning”.

Numbers carry no meaning, nor do the magnitudes arbitrarily assigned to meaning. The map is not the territory.
Maybe you have the causation the wrong way around--about every time there is a lithium battery fire on a plane, someone has to buy a new phone, after all.
Have you tried Lit yet? It gives you a reactive base class and declarative templates. Plain JS and no build step (or you can use TypeScript).
I'm in the same boat. I got all the way to the checkout page before realizing that they won't ship to the US. Seriously considering buying these and asking a friend in the EU to ship them to me in hopes of them making spare parts available in the US before I break anything. Probably won't do it, but I've been waiting for years for a pair of bluetooth headphones that I don't have to constantly worry about breaking.
They work really well just look at the bags for racing drone batteries on YouTube.
In the west the state is controlled almost 100% by rentier capital. And economics functions as the state religion.

Yeah, sorry about that. I threw this together with the first terminal-like Hugo theme I could find, since I wanted to focus on getting the info out there. I'd probably either have to create a custom theme, or just rewrite the site from scratch. Your point is noted though--others have brought this up.
I read about this somewhere recently and now I remember - it was "User: Junnn11" on the front page of HN a few weeks ago for their arthropod illustrations (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35630423 )

Arthropod Head Problem is a really good name for a band
Mine isn’t at all. I’ve cloned all the C/C++ open source projects; Linux kernel, some distros, productivity apps… and am using AI to normalize it into a code monolith and manage it as I go.

I have no intention to open source it because at this point in life I find the public has a credibility problem; we’re cruising right along indifferent about the mess we’re making for the future; why give a shit about the people around now if future peoples job is clean up our mess?
The ending paragraphs:

> Perhaps this is not only the future of open-source software. No closed-source developer can match the pool of talent the Linux community can bring to bear on a problem. Very few could afford even to hire the more than 200 (1999: 600, 2000: 800) people who have contributed to fetchmail!

> Perhaps in the end the open-source culture will triumph not because cooperation is morally right or software ``hoarding'' is morally wrong (assuming you believe the latter, which neither Linus nor I do), but simply because the closed-source world cannot win an evolutionary arms race with open-source communities that can put orders of magnitude more skilled time into a problem.

Problematically I don't really see anywhere discussion where that large amount of skilled time originates; the economics of the situation. Even developers need to put food on the table.
It is very wrong.
Yep.

The "sustainable" and "environment friendly" choice for headphones are wired headphones that are built like a brick. A good pair will last basically forever.

Of course that isn't the market these headphones are in, but that's also the problem. New bluetooth standard? New advances in noise-cancellation? You won't get them. Even if these headphones are great (which I doubt) they're still destined for the garbage heap.

Wireless headphones last a couple of years, where wired headphones last decades. These products won't be the exception, and the marketing angle (fair! environmentally friendly! repairable!) annoys me.

For me, something about having the muscles near my problem areas be stronger put me in a mode where I was suddenly more conscious of my posture. It was like I couldn't even remember what normal felt like, so consciously guiding myself to a more healthy normal was easy because there was no habitual state to fall back to.

Parachutes would barely save any lives.

First, commercial air travel is incredibly safe.

Second, parachuting requires extensive training which a negligible number of passengers have. It's not like you just jump out of a plane and it works automatically. Not to mention dealing with cold, oxygen deprivation, landing in the middle of the ocean, etc.

Third, it's going to take at least a half hour for everyone to put parachutes on and jump out in an orderly fashion. How many aviation accidents have had a half hour of extra time where they already knew they would fatally crash?
Perhaps those specific details are just a few heavily reinforced data points. Perhaps they become more and more statistically likely to be true the more they are reinforced?
> lose everything your family worked for

You're assuming your family is entitled to keep forever everything that it happens to have received in its economic activities.

Elizabeth Warren famously said in her first Senate campaign, "There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there—good for you! But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn’t have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory, and hire someone to protect against this, because of the work the rest of us did." [0]

In his book The Economists' Hour, NY Times economics columnist Binyamin Appelbaum argues that free-market icon Milton Friedman "celebrated drivers and took roads [and cars and gasoline and ....] for granted." [1]

Some would doubtless argue that the "free market" takes care of all this via pricing. But the "free market" really isn't; companies strive mightily, and often successfully, to seize pricing power and use it to extract rents.

I remember going over every page and every Ad when magazines like this were the news pipeline for what was going on. Before Usenet, Internet etc, that was pretty much it. Dial-up BBS systems were more local than anything.

One thing really hit home with this magazine - the sheer vibrancy of the industry back then. Just about everyone was out there and trying to claim a niche in a corner somewhere. It ranged from somebody with a side project buying ads in Byte or the local users group, through small businesses, and some big ones.

And then came the IBM PC. And then the internet. Sameness happened. There doesn't seem to be anything left that remotely resembles the nascent computer "industry" of the early-mid 80s (except perhaps the tech hubs in China).

Another thing that struck me: writers freely provided their home address for mail replies. Imagine that today?

Well, how do you tell the difference between a truly leaked internal document that reflects the opinion of one person, and a "leaked" document that just so happens to put forth a position that's beneficial to Google given its current standing in the LLM space?

While not exactly related a significant contribution has recently been published- https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37094905/ in a journal. Tools like this help tease out what things "really" are, as they give a hypothetical context (as opposed to claiming one-true-truth) to help one think about things. Evolution has repeatedly converged on what people would say are the "same" thing many times, this is well understood. Deeply understanding the vastness of biologically diversity, as others have alluded to in the comments, is still relegated to such a tiny minority of human minds that finding a common language to express the nuances discovered with the rest of humanity remains a challenge.

When discussing this problem with ChatGPT it indeed said the best solution for this is for frameworks to be designed in a way that encourages extensibility: so a framework should stick to its core principles but allow “plugins” to extend its functionality for very specific use-cases. But I understand there’s always a trade off here, as simplicity in the framework shifts the complexity to the application.

Yeah not as bad as I thought. It is Model 3 sized. I'd heard people reviewing it say they were quite surprised just how big it was.

The total % of solar seems quite impressive to me. The elongated teardrop looks of anything to do quite a good job exposing surface for solar. There is some loss of "fill factor" with cells having some space between them rather than being totally dense.
