How is the actual phone (not computing device) hardware on the Pixel?

The last time I had a Google phone was the 2012 Nexus, and I said never again. It had absolutely trash speakers and microphone. I couldn't be talking to someone when it was windy, I couldn't hear them. And when I tried recording a video at a sports stadium, the audio was completely distorted from the noise because the mic couldn't keep up with the noise.

Is the Pixel a good choice for people who spend the majority of their time on the road and not in a quiet office or home?
Would you say the common, accurate usage of the term "cultural genocide" to refer to what the term refers to, is a bigger or smaller problem than the actual cultural genocide itself?

Welcome to the wonderful world of A/B testing and/or gradual rollouts!

I have had the "continue playing from another device" feature for a good couple months at least, and it is clearly labeled as a "Premium" benefit.

Whenever I pause a video on one device, and open Youtube on another (Confirmed web desktop -> mobile app or mobile app -> web desktop, but I don't have a TV to test), the video that was playing on the other device shows up paused, as the given platform's miniplayer. Below you can see a desktop screenshot.

My main concern is risks to the construction workers and those involved in supply chain. I doubt such asphalt would pose a problem for the general public.

While such a road would emanate toxic radon gas, would that be any more harmful than the average home crawlspace exhausting radon into the atmosphere? At least the radon would not be trapped inside of homes where people live.

In context he's responding to the negative views that his fellow English expressed at the time (1920) towards people who were aggressively selling their services as tour guides in Jerusalem. He's pointing out that they put up with equivalently aggressive sales tactics in London, with the only difference being that it's the rich asking for more money rather than poor people trying to scrape by.

> Can you convince the chicken to do anything you wish it to, using only words?

Well if a chicken is incapable of being convinced[1]of arbitrary things, why would it matter whether OP can convince it? It's like asking "Can you convince this brick that the world is flat, using only words?"

[1] No doubt that chickens are trainable using conditioning, but I'd argue that you cannot train a chicken to do anything that it is physically capable of doing, you can only train it to run towards you or run from you. Source - me, family raised chickens when I was growing up.
I agree; that's insightful. There are many 8 and 16 bit inspired games for modern platforms but they are just not the same.

Emulation is also awesome if you have kids. I don't know anything about modern consoles, but several years back I had a roommate with a 7-8 year old son who was just amazed at my ability to conjure hundreds of video games from their laptop. Sadly he'd go to school and try to talk to other kids about Alex Kidd in Miracle World and they had absolutely no idea what he was talking about.
Non-logged in users are useless to advertisers. There is no information to target an ad to them besides extremely rudimentary IP-based location.
Discontinuity rather than continuity as the fundamental principle of spacetime would certainly align nicely with the experience that whenever the maths yields infinity, the corresponding physics become meaningless. It also meshes with the impossibility of moving a mass by an infinitesimal distance and the inherent lower limit of energy needed to record one bit of information... so, yeah.

If student loan forgiveness is to be done, they should also do something to prevent universities from charging ridiculous prices in the first place. The only reason they started doing so is because they know the government is willing to issue loans to pay for crazy high tuition costs.

If loans are to be forgiven, steps have to be taken to prevent us from reaching this point again, or else history will just repeat itself in the future.
There's already been riots in 2020 and 2021. The thing is, the elite in this country are PHENOMENAL at playing the sides off against each other. They're terrified of a OWS redux and will stop at nothing to prevent it.
Having loan forgiveness policy is an investment in education. One time loan forgiving of people who already gotten education is not.

A thought upon budget allotment and condition for loan forgiveness every year is significantly better than spending it in one go for publicity.
I wish this was better, but honestly, I'm just hard coding them right into the BUY loop. So, I need to restart the app anytime I want to change something. That's why I build this logic to dump and reload the state into a gob file (go memory dump essentially). Ideally, you'd have some type of format to write out your algorithm, and then have a way of hot loading it or something. But, I don't change these enough to really do that yet.

For back testing, I download all raw trades and quotes, and put them into 1 file sorted by time (1 file per day). Then, I compress them using lz4. This allows me to sort of replay the entire market and build up all my intraday backtesting from the source. This took me a long time to figure out and build but has been so worth it. So, I have an off-line script that basically, loops through these files, and replays the market, and makes simulated trades, and then spits out what would have happened. There is a GUI for that too so you can go in an explore the trades and see what triggered the buy and sell. I have seen nothing that goes backtesting for intraday like this.

This is super inefficient but I'm just building the aggregates on the fly. I could probably cache them somewhere but it takes maybe 4-5 minutes to replay a days worth of trades/quotes and build all this so I haven't bothered yet.
>He had just chased after three shoplifters who had taken off with several packages of laundry soap.

>Mr. Mackenzie adds one or two new faces every week, he said, mainly people who steal diapers, groceries, pet supplies and other low-cost goods.

I feel like this especially highlights how dystopian this is. This isn't a tool being used to prevent organized theft rings[1], this is ratting out people who can't afford diapers.

I agree fully with the need for regulation here. The solution here isn't "allow grocery stores to ban desperate poor people from being able to use grocery stores", it's to fix the problems leading to the desperation.

(And maybe the path to that involves giving these still-wildly-profitable retail stores incentive to turn their considerable lobbying sway in that direction)

[1] I personally encountered a few organized theft rings while working retail. They overwhelmingly steal small, high-value/margin things like makeup, perfume, and skin care. Not bulky, low value things list here.
> This is huge issue. Many people (like myself) left college during covid and haven't budgeted at all for the monthly payments after entering the workforce. There's going to thousands of deferments. It honestly feels like a debt trap of sorts.

Sorry, but that was totally your own mistake. Maybe an understandable one, but not something that requires collective action to solve.

Fixing your own mistakes often isn't easy and convenient. So you've got two months to figure out how to work your debt payments into your budget.
30 days on a first offense is excessive I think, but, you have the right idea.

First offense == warning (with police response, handcuffs, etc).

Second offense == 24 hours in jail.

You need to not wreck someone's life for a first offense because if you put a relatively poor but otherwise law abiding person in jail for 30 days after the first offense you're going to destroy their life to the point where the only path for them in the future is crime. Scare them enough to the point where they realize "I don't want this life" but put them in a position where they can avoid it.
LLMs and GenAI are already useful at scale but the current hype that they will lead to infinitely generalizable models, myriad groundbreaking applications in all fields and industries, or even AGI could be overblown - let's at least admit that as a possibility.

[GPT-4 generated summary]

The case: The Supreme Court ruled that the Secretary of Education exceeded his authority under the HEROES Act when he canceled $430 billion of student loan debt in 2022. The Court held that the Act only allowed the Secretary to make minor changes to existing provisions, not to create a new loan forgiveness program.

The standing: The Court found that Missouri had standing to challenge the Secretary’s plan because it harmed MOHELA, a public corporation created and controlled by the State to provide student loans. The Court said that the harm to MOHELA in its public function was a direct injury to Missouri itself.

The reasoning: The Court relied on the text and purpose of the HEROES Act, as well as its precedents on major questions and separation of powers. The Court said that the Act did not authorize the Secretary to rewrite the Education Act, which specified limited circumstances for loan discharge. The Court also said that Congress would not have intended to delegate such sweeping authority to the Secretary through a subtle device like permission to “waive or modify”.

If you think we should increase housing supply, allow people to build cheaper housing and relax building codes.

As it stands, home builders will extract all possible value from building a house and take it for themselves, building homes exactly as expensive as the current ones in the market.

There's no incentive to lower the price.
Agreed. My anxiety is already so high I should probably talk to a doctor about it. I just do all my cooking with glass or steel or wood just so I can have 1 less thing to be worried about.

The SCOTUS feels that there should continue to be enforcement of the idea of separation of powers between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches.

The SCOTUS believes, in this very specific instance, that the executive should not have the power to forgive student loans and it should be left to, what I assume, is the legislative branch to deal with it instead.
It really depends on your approach, and your flexibility on your content
What is written on paper and what is being done are two totally different things, and we only live in reality. At least one of the justices is bought and paid for, getting gifts you aren't legally allowed to receive as a DMV employee, but because they like the outcome, millions are against any impeachment.
Very nice. This should get rid of a lot of clunky webpack/esbuild/etc junk I have lying around to inline various constants or otherwise one-time configure the runtime.

Nothing. Linux isn't a web browser.

It will still work just fine with your modern web browsers though, as a server.
As a corollary, it's not possible to read a single byte from a file (with regular usermode I/O). When you call e.g. `read(fd, buf, 1)` the Linux kernel will read an entire 4096 page into the page table cache, and then copy 1 byte from that into your buffer.

This might sound inefficient but in practice consecutive reads are so much more efficient than random reads that the difference between reading 1 byte and 4096 bytes is negligible when the data is stored consecutively.

Consequently, when designing on-disk data structures that are accessed randomly (like Btree pages in a database, for example), it usually doesn't make sense to make them smaller than 4 KB.

(It is possible to bypass the page table cache using O_DIRECT, at least for some filesystems, but that has its own size and alignment restrictions; typically you can only read 512 byte blocks.)
Makes sense! I'll try it out.
It's supposedly a mere slip slope from there to every restaurant and grocer in town refusing to sell food to members of $Disadvantaged_Group, causing them to die of starvation.

Isn't the trend detection equally applicable to shorting as well, with swapped signals?

AI/ML Engineers will be our modern day variant of the Mystic. They'll whisper sweet nothings into the ears of their models, looking at the goat entrails of what their models output and tell us of their predictions.

The right way to leverage AI is to use it to do ye olde engineering, faster. Actually, most AI use cases are in fact that! Ye olde engineering - data pipelines, automation. Stuff we've been doing since before I was born.

Everything else - transformative tech, will hit the open domain fairly quickly, is my bet. Similar to databases.

What the paper clip maximiser is doing is generating harmful unintended instrumental goals, such as killing the humans so that they can’t stop it making more Paperclips.
I agree, you are right. I would do that, with maybe 30 days and multiplying for the third offense onward because there has to be a point where the consequences get severe (third strike). But that's just my opinion - my point is more that there has to be something, significant, consistently enforced and stores wouldn't feel the need to do things like this.

> It has become a disturbing feature of some recent opinions to criticize the decisions with which they disagree as going beyond the proper role of the judiciary. Today, we have concluded that an instrumentality created by Missouri, governed by Missouri, and answerable to Missouri is indeed part of Missouri; that the words “waive or modify” do not mean “completely rewrite”; and that our precedent—old and new—requires that Congress speak clearly before a Department Secretary can unilaterally alter large sections of the American economy. We have employed the traditional tools of judicial decisionmaking in doing so. Reasonable minds may disagree with our analysis—in fact, at least three do.

> We do not mistake this plainly heartfelt disagreement for disparagement. It is important that the public not be misled either. Any such misperception would be harmful to this institution and our country. The judgment of the District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri is reversed, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. The Government’s application to vacate the Eighth Circuit’s injunction is denied as moot.
> Remove some of the burden from students? Whoa whoa whoa.

Yeah, this is a little disappointing...it's an investment in your own people.

I can't really complain. The government is already very generous with grants and scholarships. Student loans gave me access to money I never would have seen otherwise, and with lenient repayment terms.

Loan relief really would help all the people who shot their feet off going to for-profit colleges though; those debts should be relieved-- and the institutions dissolved.
Being fundamentally different doesn't necessarily mean there's room for the old thing. Sometimes, tastes just change and people move on to the next big thing.
Congress should have sued biden. That's the problem here.

Instead, here we have a bank suing because of government spending? How does that work? How was the bank harmed by loan forgiveness away from the bank?

Congress can sue and if they feel like the president is misinterpreting the law it's their job to sue. Letting something like this get decided via an uninterested 3rd party is what's dangerous.

What's next, can military contractors sue if we cut military spending? Can insurance agencies sue if we pass universal healthcare? Can they sue now over medicaid?

What's happened here is you hired a plumber to fix your toilet. He did just that, but then when it came time for the bill he said "You know what, nm, I'm not going to charge you for that". However, karen next door got charged for her plumbing so obviously she took the plumber to court for not forgiving her plumbing bill.

How does that make sense? The plumbing company has the power to fire the plumber or sue him and recover the cost of that bill. But they chose not to because forgiving bills looks good.

> One time loan forgiving of people who already gotten education is not.

The one time forgiveness was adopted roughly simultaneously with reforms to lending and, particularly, repayment programs designed to ameliorate the creation of the same debt problem, it wasn’t a policy adopted by itself in a vacuum.
Disappointed by the outcome, but not surprised. IMO SCOTUS is no longer trustworthy when it comes to impartiality. Polarization has infected every branch of government including SCOTUS. This judgement simply falls along US political party lines. Perhaps, it has never been the case. However, I think we have seen an increase of conservative policy and interpretations of law become the standard due to a Republican super majority.
I agree should have been; and agree that the Justices can be blind to their own contradictions, or that at times they start with the conclusion they want and seek a means to justify reaching it. Unfortunate. I tend to think that there are two justices who do that in particular most of all. That would be Alito and Thomas, who are, I believe, "movement judges". I haven't had enough time to evaluate the newest Democratic justices. Gorsuch has surprised on a few issues, for example. So has Kavaugnah in fact.

Facebook isn't going to deploy malware to my phone using Whatsapp, MS isn't going to do that using Outlook, Google isn't going to do that through Google Maps. Everything I used is either by a reputable developer, or open-source from F-Droid.

The only way I'm getting malware is if they manage to: 1) exploit a bug in my up-to-date web browser, 2) bug #1 is used to exploit a bug in the hardware driver. Oh, and of course, since I only visit reputable sites, I'm never exposed to malware. I'd have better odds of winning the lottery.

It makes sense and I intellectually understand the premise, but emotionally it fell flat for me. This could be due to a number of reasons, e.g. the writing, the animation, the voice acting, my headspace at the time of watching… I had to pause the movie to stop bawling after that first 10 minutes, so it’s possible that the bar for emotional connection was simply set too high after that.
