I'm not sure I buy it. The sensor itself in the camera doesn't do mutual authentication with other components. If you have enough interest / access to mess with the hardware permanently, you'll be able to feed whatever image you want to the original camera chip.

My initial steam deck battery wasn’t lasting very long, reporting charge state strangley. After initially trying some things I contacted their support. We tried a bunch of things (reinstalling the OS even). Nothing worked so it was swapped out and got a new one.

Things go wrong sometimes but their support was excellent.

You still have the right to complain, you just don't have the right for anybody else to care about your complaint.

The ability to complain doesn't need to be earned, only the respect itself needs to be earned.
Not really. I like text as a platform because the barrier of entry is so low (literally every phone) and because it’s so constrained (fewer opportunities to over-engineer things).

I think an interesting next step here would be connecting your project to some chat gpt plugins, and create something akin to Magic/Magic Plus (tangent: is it still alive?). This way you could have a sort of low-tech AI concierge.

We need systems, processes, and technologies which ensures the authenticity (provenance) of a supply chain.

Art, food, electronics, materials, clothing, malware, root kits, ad nauseam.

I've been reading about counterfeit, black market, and gray market goods for decades. Do not want.

If I pay $1,000 for a Gucci handbag, I want an authentic $1,000 Gucci handbag. (I have zero issue with knockoffs clearly labeled as knockoffs.)

Anti-consumer, anti-labor, anti-customer, anti-fairuse and pro-monopoly bullshit regiments like DRM, DMCA, inability to repair, and price gouging are orthogonal issues. We can have provenance without these shackles if we choose to reign in corporate power.

As for Apple in particular, they're not the worst, and have been getting better. Their phones and laptops are the most reliable and are becoming easier to repair (design and logistics). The terms of their Apple Care have gotten more generous (forgiving).

Spitballing, I'd say Apple is ~1/3rd of the way towards a healthy cradle-to-grave product lifecycle. They can and should do much better with 3rd party repairs. Like making authentic parts available at cost. Certifying repairs shops. Certifying technicians. Etc.

Source: I was a tech at an Apple Dealer as a kid. Our leads were trained and certified. Our parts were all authentic. My notions are based on experience, not some utopian fantasy.
The US has seen an insane rise of child and adolescent mortality over the last years [1] - and a large part of this is due to the top death cause: homicide or other firearm incidents [2], a scale orders of magnitude worse than among other developed nations.

Add on top of that the rising drug epidemic, the removal of access to reproductive and mental health care...

That’s not a good reason to do this. If you really wanted to do it that much you could just modify the real parts and that isn’t really a thing that happens anyway. What’s a far bigger concern is giving one company complete control over whether you can repair your own phone or not, creating a monopoly where they can charge whatever they want, and they might not even do it at all because they’d prefer you to buy a new one. This is actually happening to the average person, these theoretical attacks that serialisation doesn’t really protect against aren’t

I think that is a misunderstanding of life expectancy. Death didn't clear out the old 100 years ago, it was infant and child mortality that pulled the average down.

You move to a big city when you are young. Enjoy the social activities, the night life etc. If at some point you get married, have kids etc - generally you don't get to make full use of the city anymore, though you're still paying full price.

What I see A LOT is when people have kids, if they originally came from somewhere else is that the city's shine really dulls. They move back to where they came from, especially if there's a family support structure there. At one place I worked we snatched several senior engineers leaving LA and SF for a more family oriented life.

They move back home, new young people take their place and cycle continues.

This is very common in the US justice system. There's a general institutional apathy or sometimes even vindictiveness that causes random delays to get to trial. If you don't have the money for bond, don't have someone to pay, or a bondsman wont cover you, you just stay in jail.

Every year multiple people die in prison from preventable causes without ever being sentenced.

This is why bail reform is important. A well-off person can pay-away the bond and prepare to defend themselves. A poor person will be stuck, lose their job, home, important documents, pets, etc all before being found guilty. If they're found not-guilty, its simply their fault for being poor or being in the wrong place at the wrong time and there's zero recourse for these people having their life basically lit ablaze. Please don't take the anti-bail reform propaganda at face value, for every terrible outlier case, there are hundreds of people who don't have their life grenaded over a small charge.

Making people desperate is an easy way to increase crime.
As the ideal employee in a 90's Dilbert strip (from the boss's perspective) said, "having a personal life is like stealing from the company". There's yet another headline on this site today about falling birthrates, and I can't help but wonder about the connection.
Hmm. I was slightly shocked. Or may be I am the spoilt and entitled one. Is it normal to demand that someone move for their job or be offended if they refuse? I mean yes it may be a great opportunity and all but moving is a huge huge disruption in ones life and if this economic period has shown there was never any loyalty (or even good faith) by the company and now the thin veil is also off.
Who cares though? The .00005% of the population that actually faces that threat vector can deal with it.

Could political polarization impact this? There are a lot of states or areas I wouldn’t consider relocating to.
I wish they would let me sign in to my account with my old last name, but even though I know the password and have had it for a decade, that's apparently just unacceptable.

The company trajectory and the fact that there doesn't seem to be any support for this sort of thing is why I'm ultimately un-googling my current accounts, documents, etc.

Edit: The kicker is that I get security notifications about the failed login attempt at the recovery email, so I know they could send recovery information to that address. I trusted them to use the "recovery email" for account recovery when issues like this occur and now that basic trust is gone. It's been said over and over, but this is all another reason not to build your online identity around Google.

That said, this policy change makes me really concerned about how difficult it is to run your own email solution that people trust. Today's email ecosystem feels very focused on Gmail and those accounts just became more ephemeral.
Hopefully valve having more money than god helps with this. Surely there's prior art about this.

To their credit housing has become a big issue in the UK over the last few months, probably thanks to increasing interest rates making mortgage holders feel the pain of high prices. Labour is doing a big push to allow more housing, and they actually have the power to do it with a gerneral election, thanks to the local elections.
They should, but they do not.

Whenever I see "should" in a sentence I think: why is this not how things are? What are the incentives? In this case: who is the person deciding what gets built? What are the consequences for being over budget? (Calatrava I am looking at you).
They’re all doing things like this, yes. That doesn’t make Apple any less bad though, it just means we need to fix it everywhere

Interestingly Microsoft actually seems to be supporting right to repair but it could be some kind of PR stunt, still though that’s a good step forward

"Couldn't just", might be, probably not. Face-ID is a pretty complex and very highly integrated system. The dot pattern can't be changed, because each dot in the pattern (~100 dots or so) is actually a VCSEL laser. The large constellation (>30k dots) is created by a diffractive beamsplitter. The sensor is probably custom, so I'd wager the CMOS IR sensor is actually physically the thing that's paired to the Secure Enclave. I doubt there's just an unencrypted MIPI link running from some random 1/6" OmniVision sensor to the CPU.
It looks pretty clear that it only applies in England - though you are correct that all MPs (including those from outside of England) could vote on it. Meanwhile, the equivalent legislation in Scotland (which has been in place for a while) couldn't be voted on by English MPs because it was decided by the Scottish parliament in Edinburgh. Which of course, is pretty weird - but its the UK :-)

The thing that keeps me coming back to Julia is the ability to pipe (or whatever you want to call it). It makes DataFrame operations a lot cleaner since I don't need to modify in place or create new DFs at intermediate steps in a process. Here's a video showing this sort of workflow in R:

> Whilst this is purely speculation on my part, I have always assumed the reason they settle rather than go to court is because they don't actually want the patents invalidated. The patents serve as a barrier to entry into the market. Had Microsoft - for instance - gone to court, and had the patents invalidated, Valve would not have been sued now.

And importantly, they don't want their own patents invalidated. They don't want legal precedents that weaken their own IP rights.
Undetermined, but it was "the only liquid" she had. Heroes are made, not born.
Here is a better solution: the countries foreign workers are coming from should do a better job of retaining them. When countries lose their talent, they are brain-drained and this stunts the growth of their own tech-sectors. Ideally, foreign workers won't want to leave their own countries because they should have high-wages and good opportunities at home.
Me indicating the buyers aren't well off is me indicating they aren't buying luxury brands. Past that I rarely recall what a newer model is as I can't tell modern cars apart. I guess I also can't get past modern price tags.

It sounds like you routinely see new cars that can be taken home after paying 15k-25k. What's an example of a sub 20k 4-door?
The hiring process is basically a stochastic process with time wasting theatrical performances on both sides.

Unless you are currently 75 years old, there isn't much chance of that. The solar cells and the ESP module probably have a lifespan measured in years, not decades.

Not even electronics built in the "good old days" of low component count circuits and hand-wired cabinets lasted more than a few decades.

Cheap flash memory, material diffusion effects, etc, will kill modern stuff much quicker. Not to mention WiFi becoming obsolete. And unlike your family's old mechanical clocks, once a part becomes unavailable, you can't make your own replacement.

Take pictures and print them instead!
It'll be interesting to see how this is accepted by the community at large. I think explicit opt-in, combined with having the discussion about which metrics to collect in public, would be enough assurance for most that this isn't a bad idea - but doesn't neccesarily mean that most will opt-in as a result.
I think this is a common but ultimately incorrect interpretation of scrum, which leads to unnecessary pressure, stress, and corner-cutting. Standup is for coordination and sprints are to avoid committing too much time before validating.

Yes, that is exactly why the mortgagee would want to get rid of the 2.5% mortgage. It's worth maybe half of its par value.

So if the mortgager wants to get rid of the mortgage so they can move, and the mortgagee wants to get rid of the mortgage because it's worth only half of its par value, there should be a massive incentive for a fair deal to happen.

Instead, the only option is for the mortgager to pay off the par value, which is a huge windfall for the mortgagee and a rip-off for the mortgager. So the mortgager decides not to move and everybody loses.
A habit is something you’ve done so often that you don’t need to think about it. Your brain can shut down into zombie mode and it’ll still happen. This is different from a deadline at midnight which is about ramping up stress to get your brain into a hyper-aware mode, opposite of zombie mode!
"Having any dedication outside your company is stealing from your company. Now here's an advertisement showing you the excitement of cheating on your partner for some quick fun." May not be causation, but they sure are eager to not let a good crisis go to waste.

Funny thing is, at least a few decades ago companies realized having a good employee's kid come work for them was a boon. Now they complain about the lack of good workers without thinking about the consequences of their good workers not reproducing in stable families.
I can’t think of how one would replicate a board book with resources typically available at home. Not just the binding, but also the printing would be difficult if not impossible without essentially building your own four color press. I imagine that there are printers out there that can print on thick cardboard, but most people don’t have one of those either.

If I were making DIY children’s books meant to be durable I’d probably print folio on Tyvek printer paper and use some suitably durable thread to sew a booklet binding.
The lack of an ability to take in new information is maybe the crux of my issues with the LLM to AGI evolution. To my understanding the only way to have it even kind of learn something is to include it in a preamble it reprocesses every time which is maybe workable for small facts but breaks down for updating it from the 202X corpus it was trained on.

No, storage costs aren't plummeting. They've been largely stagnant the past 3-4 years. I don't think the reduction in the number of drives for the same amount of storage is as significant as the cost of the drives themselves.

It's a real shame libraries like OpenTelemetry encourage using the context to pass information around. In my programs I prefer to be explicit.
