> Why not keep an open mind and be scientific about evaluating it?

I am for keeping an open mind, scientifically speaking. Entertaining theories rooted in fictional fantasy is not that. There is zero scientific evidence of technologically advanced life outside of Earth. It is a hypothesis that is just as unsupported as anything anyone might make up on the spot. Just because it is a hypothesis people want to believe doesn't make it any more supported than a hypothesis that it is the flying spaghetti monster.
And the madness of WWII was in no small way related to the oddly inequitable treaty of Versailles formulated to reflect French and British demands.
it seems many services were down this morning.
Cloudflare had DNS outage (at least in Tampa/Sarasota area)
There was some note about work going on in Atlanta. Maybe something went wrong?

Frontier fiber also has systems down (we called and they confirmed it).
I don't think I ever update this addon... It must be automatic.
If you're a business with a consumer facing app, you don't want to exclude 5% or 10% of your users. Most of the client projects I've worked on had a requirement to support iOS(-4) which is super painful from a development standpoint and usually the number of users on a device with iOS four versions old are in the range of 2%. But I get that it's tough for a financial institution or a streaming media company or a telco to exclude potentially 2% of users.
Would love to see a list of such books.
My son's 10% employee discount at Target seems to work as you'd expect, as it stacks with any other discounts and sales on an item, including the 5% loyalty card discount they offer. The only real limitations are on certain heavily in demand items, and there's a per item limit so you cannot run a discount Target eBay store.
Different numbers, different stories.

https://www.factcheck.org/2019/06/are-wages-rising-or-flat/ shows "average weekly earnings for production and nonsupervisory employees" as being about the same now as 1970. (See also https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES0500000031 and expand the range starting from 1964.)

Note also that 1970 was a peak. Pick 1990 and things are going well.

Or as https://www.hamiltonproject.org/publication/economic-fact/th... puts it "After adjusting for inflation, wages are only 10 percent higher in 2017 than they were in 1973, with annual real wage growth just below 0.2 percent.1 The U.S. economy has experienced long-term real wage stagnation and a persistent lack of economic progress for many workers." with footnote 1 saying "Cumulative real wage growth is sensitive to the particular method of inflation adjustment. Some researchers use the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) deflator, which implies even lower real wage growth, or the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) deflator, which implies higher real wage growth (Bivens and Mishel 2015; Sacerdote 2017)."

Still, wages haven't matched productivity increases. https://www.epi.org/productivity-pay-gap/

> Starting in the late 1970s policymakers began dismantling all the policy bulwarks helping to ensure that typical workers’ wages grew with productivity. Excess unemployment was tolerated to keep any chance of inflation in check. Raises in the federal minimum wage became smaller and rarer. Labor law failed to keep pace with growing employer hostility toward unions. Tax rates on top incomes were lowered. And anti-worker deregulatory pushes—from the deregulation of the trucking and airline industries to the retreat of anti-trust policy to the dismantling of financial regulations and more—succeeded again and again.
I mean, that's basically it. Blue Apron was being evaluated purely based on revenue growth like a tech company. If you were buying their stock you were not actually looking at their product margins.
We had a similar sized project grow out of a 2-pizza-team and had the same problems. Kinda like how Java devs come to JavaScript and are shocked that this language doesn't have proper numerical types, I came to the Java ecosystem and was shocked that everything pivotally hinged on whether you had the right magic beans and especially if you had different beans vying to be the same sort of magic it was awful.

My favorite bug we ran into was a short little RedisConfig.java file that got copy-pasted into a bunch of our microservices in the test environment. It appeared on a very casual glance to connect to Redis. But our tests did not run a Redis instance, so the configuration should have failed. Instead if you looked carefully at this file you could determine that the connection string was all broken but that didn't matter because it never implemented the Redis Connection Bean logic anyway and in fact you could replace it with a purely empty class and tests still pass.

But, tests break when you delete this unused file, the file needs to exist even if it is the empty `class RedisConfig {}`, because now tests are trying to connect to a nonexistent Redis and not succeeding. Same if you try to rename it to like `class RedisTestConfig {}`, suddenly tests want to reconnect to Redis and they all break!! So, everyone has more important things to do, it gets copied to everyone, nobody understands what on earth it is doing since the code inside the file is clearly broken.

Eventually, we start experimenting with Kotlin. When you copy this pattern over to the Kotlin repo, it starts to complain VERY loudly that you have two objects with the same name in the same namespace and it won't start because it is too confused. And that was the key hint. As far as Spring was concerned, this file, because it has the same class name in the same namespace, basically string-replaces that file. (Nondeterministically? Or maybe it was deterministic that "test" won over "main" because it was lexicographically larger?) So we were string-replacing to a RedisConfig that could never be used as a Redis configuration bean, which causes Spring's Redis Cache logic to say "oh I have no configuration, I should assume that I am unneeded", which disables Redis.

But if you rename it, then Spring Redis says "oh I see two things, I can't use that one but I can use this one, let's connect to Redis with that. oh no!! Redis is DOWN!~ crash all the tests!!"
For me, intention matters.
A multi kilowatt radar would literally cook things. Your microwave is a crappy 1kWh radar.
Yes, and they own their creative output, instead of the firm who trained them.

The proper analogy to ML is that the owners of the latter train a slave, and then use that training process as justification for owning everything[1] the slave ever produces.

How can freemen compete with that?

[1] Which also happens to be a perversion of copyright law, since AI can't enter into a contract that can assign rights to creative output to it's owner.
yea starting to notice that from the comments that get the down votes
The House Intel Committee is a bipartisan group of elected officials in a separate branch of government (legislative branch) from the intelligence agencies (executive branch).

I think it is more attributable to reformed alliances in the wake of Trump and conservative populism.

Neocon figures realized they couldn’t rely on popular Republican support for intervention, so they started making alliances with liberals who had shown willingness to be swayed.

On Mac, you have the "Dvorak - QWERTY ⌘" layout which retains QWERTY shortcuts.
Switched to dvorak ~10 years ago. The first 2 months were terrible: it took me 40 minutes to write a simple e-mail (no must not write the keys on the keyboard, but have a cheat sheet next to you to train your "muscle memory").

After some time though, in my case around a year, you start reaching your previous speed (in my case qwerty). I didn't gain speed but I gained a lot of muscular comfort. Indeed, you frequently do some weird gestures typing on a qwerty due to the dispositions of the keys. It's much rarer on dvorak and I'm really glad for that.
It's truly evil that aspiring artists go to museums, copying (^H^H learning from) the masters
For typing alphabetical characters, I'd expect a more significant impact from "adopt Dvorak instead of QWERTY" over "adopt a smaller keyboard".

For reducing strain to access keys like shift/backspace/escape/tab, I think that's where "use keyboard with multiple thumbkeys" would have a benefit, yeah.
> what have we learned?

Julian Assange should have come to Russia, not Sweden
When I was in the Air Force and had to take a typing class (on IBM Selectrics w/ blank keycaps), they had a couple set aside with Dvorak keyboard layouts --- everyone was offered the chance to "type out" on the first day, by typing 50 WPM or faster after adjusting for errors (I did 65).

The instructor noted that while folks often failed when testing on QWERTY, that he had never seen a formally trained Dvorak keyboard typist fail to type out, and that most were well above the average QWERTY speed.
His point is that there's no market for it, so honest question: If it came down to say $1,000, would any of your buy it, and what for?

Personally I think he's right, but then I also thought the iPad was a stupid product with no market.
What is wrong with Go?
Sure, the mission should always be: shipping fun profitable products. Doesn't hurt have solid code architecture from the get go though. From what I understand ECS are very flexible and probably your best bet. It's often hard to see where a game is headed, which can turn thoughtless code very ugly very fast. Still, many games get shipped like that, but if you're in for the long run you'll eventually have to maintain it. So why not consider the advice from industry veterans and read about a few proven design patterns.
I keep thinking about the Newton as a distant ancestor of the iPhone. The germ of the idea was there, but the use cases and tech (specifically networking) weren't even close.

How close to prime time is AR?

It's hard to judge that without hands on experience.

Close or not, unlike the mid-90s, Apple can likely afford to burn money for a while on a big gamble. Trying to open up a new product category that plays to Apple's strengths is probably the correct strategy, so long as there isn't a better viable product.

I doubt this will storm the world the same way the iPhone did, so it'll likely be a while before it can be judged as a success or failure.

The thing you're claiming as the biggest problem is dependent on the thing I'm claiming is the biggest problem.
Game designers really like Excel —for good reason.

I’ve set up the tech for many games over the decades where we had designers write tiny snippets of code in the cells of Excel spreadsheets. First in a custom assembly-like language (for an N64 game) then in SmallC, actual C++ and mostly in Lua.

The general theme was to use the grids to define state machines. Rows are states. Columns represent events. Cells define what to do at the intersection of an event in a certain state.

Later games also used Lua code cells as active spreadsheets in the game. The Lua statements would calculate results when queried. The charts didn’t just know about raw numbers and strings. They also could load and manipulate assets in the game. So, a designer could describe which UI asset to put next to the health bar based on the player’s current health stat without bothering a programmer or artist.

In the last case, we shipped two very different 3D mobile games using the same executable but different assets. Live hot-reloading of the Lua charts, the UI XML and all the other assets meant that we didn’t even need to bother making an editor for our custom engine. A good text editor window next to the game window was productive enough.

This took me a long time to accept in my career, but I do believe you've summarized this in a way that rings true for me as well.
Especially since you can setup a catch-all on some domain you own so "creation" of the email address is as simple as typing it into the registration form on the site you want to use it on.
For me, being spied on by "my" government matters. Do you really not care about that?
You are incredibly optimistic, in my view. There were hardly any calls for Manning to be pardoned (in large media scale) and the general american public has never even heard of “collateral murder.” And now public opinion has cooled post-Hillary Clinton leaks. Assange is likely facing significant jail time simply for helping Manning by googling a md5 hash and saying he didn’t get anything, you think Snowden would get less than a decade in jail?

If these are the standards you hold for someone to be a legitimate whistleblower, …good luck. I think you are being overly influenced by national sentiment.

That's what a lot people said about COVID but my family still wore masks and got the vaccine. I'm not going to send them to school in kevlar vests but I want them to have access to high precision GPS, bluetooth, hd video and a high speed data connection during a crisis.
The new Apple Vision Pro arguably has a better set of cameras, sensors and signal processing than a Tesla... not sure what to take from that. Makes me think what an Apple Car would be like.

My argument on autonomous driving is that it can't just match the safety of the average human driver. It needs to be 100-1000x better, unquestionably better for everyone, always. Until that happens it's a dead end. I think that's probably only achievable with LIDAR, which will come down in price as volumes ramp up.

The thing that surprises me is that Tesla has invested so much into various hardware technology (even their own silicon), but completely ignored LIDAR. With their resources, volume and investment, they could have reduced the cost to a tenth of what it is now. They go for big challenges, but decided not to try on that one.
There is a humongous gap between stars we can't reach and not putting every little detail of your life on the internet for all to see. Keeping information to yourself isn't something locked away behind extensive technical prowess.

Heck, if we are playing this game: most still make fun of their 'weird tech relative/friend' who can do this rather than ask them to help for what they will probably do for free. The people have spoken and continue to speak very clearly.
Another favorite of mine is "up to X% off". Of course, "up to" includes "0%".

Even funnier is "save up to X% or more!" as if "up to" doesn't mean "no more than".
He was actually trying to reach Ecuador; the US canceled his passport, trapping him in Russia (which was an excellent move from a PR perspective; the US is second-to-none in PR/propaganda).

Once he was stuck there he applied for asylum and ultimately citizenship. But it wasn't his original plan.

I find it really easy to switch layouts though (either on linux with a `loadkeys dvorak`, or by quickly going to the menus).
TL;DR: Damn capitalism.
As someone who dug deep into the rabbit hole, yes, this is the "in-lore" explanation of it.

Apparently a secretive clique in the air force take a group of scientists every few decades to see if any headway can be made into reverse engineering the technology.

See "The day before Roswell" from US Colonel Corso Phillip. Epistemic note: the book has been dramatized by the publisher for effect and diverges from Corso's personal notes, and there is some disagreement with the way the story is told from Corso's son.

Still, it paints a certain picture of who the major players are behind this alleged once-cover-up and how it apparently played out.

Not too sure what to make it but it's a fun sci-fi story nevertheless :)

I wonder how well SQLite would just handle this whole thing.

Seriously.

Compile a bunch of prepared statements at load time to take the parsing and execution planning out of it, keep it all in memory... On the surface it seems like it would work.

So that's very curious, not really the private exchange between 2 high level executive, but rather how that exchange ended up at the SEC... The SEC doesn't tell how they acquired this quote, nor even whether it's a legitimate quote at all. We all believe the SEC is not gonna lie, right? Well, then that let us with 2 options: the executive cooperated with the SEC (huh, how and why? was he threatened or was he offered a better paycheck?), or they have some spying tools (also weird..). Any other option?
this protest was very disruptive. Yes, protests can be non-disruptive. They are much more effective that way.
This isn't raw data. The raw data is a gigantic pile of satellite measurements. This is all of that data collapsed down into a single figure via a model (itself derived from yet more data), and the scope of that figure isn't as easy to characterize as "Antarctica did X".

So I'd cautioned you against the belief that you really have any data here. You have a single number, flagged for your attention by somebody who (presumably) believes that they can influence your conclusion in a particular direction. You can't really draw conclusions from data without gathering as much data as possible, and this single number is nowhere near complete. If this data strengthens your confidence that you understand the whole situation, then it is worse than having no data at all.
Agreed. This week began the first decade of modern AR.

I think all the optimism is confidence that Apple will be developing this product on the way to achieving high volume sales. Then they own yet another new major platform.

10 years may not be too long a slog if you OWN another major platform on the other side.
I agree that truthfully we're not talking about excluding those users, but only preventing those users from upgrading to the latest version of the app. But for lots of businesses those two things are viewed as effectively the same, because they believe they are adding value to the new version of the app that will result in greater user stickiness and direct or indirect revenue opportunities.

Honestly I'm thrilled anytime I'm working for a client that has a iOS(-2) rule versus an iOS(-4) rule.
kWh is not a measure of power used it's the model of the car. The "hyundai kona 64 kwh" is the model of car the module came out of.

The 30% faster hardware is running Linux. The main reason I'm disappointed with steam on MacOS is that only a third of my library works at all, and that the stuff that does run is hit or miss, performance wise (especially the indie / casual games, which this hardware should laugh at).

Also, another 25% of my library actually was ported to MacOS, but it is 32 bit only, so it won't run on an M2. (Also, typing that sentence was painful.)

I guess if I want to run the vast majority of the MacOS software that I have ever purchased on an M2, my best bet is to install Asahi, and use the Windows ports under proton. Lame.

Anyone over 65 should seriously consider not driving, at least at night. Reaction times slow, night vision is poor/glare from oncoming headlights is worse.

I couldn't take you seriously, anyway. 2.7 million illegal border crossings have zero to do with 1.6 million housing units, but you're trying to imply that each of those illegal border crossings took a housing unit or something like that. Perhaps people on Facebook are that dumb.
They're making an enlightened- altruist argument within the framework of radical libertarian values, so they need to motivate it in terms of personal benefit.
