> Mastodon doesn't have any categorization/classification/tags tools

Huh? Mastodon certainly has hashtags. Likewise, there are posting groups. More implicitly, different social groups tend to cluster together and re-boost interesting things.

Like, to be clear, fedi isn't going to be the right solution for everybody (or necessarily even for most people), and it's totally valid to dislike it or prefer something else. But it certainly does have organizational tools; they are just differently shaped.
>infinite social loop requiring either superhuman willpower or outright sociopathy to escape

Or, you can just hang up if you have your suspicions. I don't see this kind of banning particularly useful. If it gets sufficiently popular, telemarketers will just work around it in their scripts.
In the past Apple has sent out early access dev kits that were quite different from the final consumer product.

When they switched from PowerPC to x86 in 2005, the dev kit was a Pentium 4 motherboard in a Power Mac G5 case:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developer_Transition_Kit

Apple never used any Pentium CPUs in Macs except for this loaner model. The first Intel Mac desktop was an iMac, so completely different form factor.
If you’re always accessing all the members then no. SoA shines when you want to access a different set of a few members of a struct in different contexts. Then there’s also the option of building temporary arrays of just the data you need then spinning through it which can be faster for some things. For example rendering pipelines. Even more so if you cache the results and can use them next frame due to temporal locality. There’s no silver bullet you’ve got to sit down and look at your access patterns and profile.
Maybe, but, by then, Apple will have had the marked for themselves for some time.

Also worth noting this is not a “headset” but a computer (“headtop”?) in a different format. Think of it not as buying a headset for your gaming rig but as a laptop replacement.
> Let parents and the actual experts in teaching at each individual school organize themselves how they see fit.

Parents seems to be extra in this statement. Decent parents can be evil and/or letting their kids too much, but a decent teacher can not.
Purchased a rog ally yesterday. The setup isn’t for the faint, as it’s basically a fresh windows install. Tinkered with it and got Diablo 4 running real nice.
I'd love to hear how exactly they'd pull that off.
>It seems unlikely that Harvard are secretly discriminating against minorities with their legacy admissions program

I agree, though it's also likely they protect and promote their legacy admissions because it drives a lot of alumni funding. I don't think there needs to be proven deliberate intent to discriminate for a lawsuit to succeed. Lots of ADA lawsuits, for example, aren't about intent.
I know some tattoo artists that use their smartphones a lot for discussing ideas with clients, sharing images of their work, etc, via Instagram.

I think in order for Threads to be successful and compete with Twitter, they will need to stop policing information so heavily as they do on Facebook. Most of my immediate circles left Facebook because of all the tyrannical fact checking notices, suspensions, and "misinfo" policing going on.

Whereas Twitter now prides itself in being the free speech absolutist social media app, and information flows freely there. While they do have Community Notes to add context to potential (real) misinformation, at least it's guided by Twitter users and doesn't prevent people from seeing the original post without jumping through hoops, and there's no risk of being suspended for angering the Ministry of Truth, brought to you by government officials looking to cover-up inconvenient facts.
> this won't alienate existing Instagram users like adding short form video did.

Also, some existing Twitter users might go "ugh, Instagram, don't want to deal with that" if it was integrated (personally, I never quite _got_ instagram, and might be more likely to try this if it was separate).
I remember about 10 years ago in the context of using neural network for image classification, they had a study of what the AI actually saw that justified its decision. This, by the way, is how we got "Deep Dream".

For "dumbbell", for the AI, no dumbbell was complete without a muscular arm holding it. That's because in most images in the training dataset have the dumbbells being held, so the system integrated the arm in the pattern. I guess it is the same idea here, most pictures of bananas show several of them, so for the AI, bananas are things that don't go alone.
You don't need to have free speech right to be paid for someone else's board though to protect that.

We can make it really tedious to advertise by forcing them to buy the land itself and deal with title transfer, without impacting free speech of people.
Having written even basic tools in native code for Linux and run into compatibility issues (glibc versions, ugh), I'm not surprised.

Wine is probably the best cross-distro Linux platform, especially for closed source products that don't get compiled for every specific repo. Flatpak/AppImage would also work but that lacks the raw system access that many games depend on (even if that system access is secretly emulated by Wine).

It is also one of the most heavily sought after physician specialities for PE roll-up. Consolidation of back office functions and technology really drives cost savings as there is little variation between treatments, consolidated purchasing power with supplies and, to your point, a lot of add-on opportunities to upsell patients.

My story is only about my doctor wanting to do additional x-rays because I had new insurance. She saw it as a way to get paid and I was already tired of getting offered another service at every visit. I told the practice I didn’t want another set of x-rays 6 months after my last when my insurance allows every year just because I had new insurance. You would have thought I had offended them, hygienist, front office and dentist all tried to change my mind.

Information density as we had it in the 90s and 2000s was far too dense, let's be real. We might have liked it, but most people essentially saw an insurmountable column of text and immediately keeled over, eyes glazed. The response to reduce information density in and of itself is reasonable.

What isn't reasonable is how low information density has gotten. Yes, information was too dense before, but now we have the opposite problem: It's not dense enough. There is a fine balance in density that designers seemingly can't seem to find.

But then you get all people who don’t care or are so technically inept that at first occasion will lock themselves out of password manager.

As myself and as a user I could use passwords, no problem.

As a service provider that is entirely different ball game. If I could skip sending out emails or smses it will be cheaper to have web authn, then not having to store passwords only public keys is such a great thing.

In the end if webauthn takes over as end user I will never have to see login screen ever again. I would beet to register once and then maybe rotate key once in a while.
I have disabled YouTube Watch history and I really enjoy seeing YouTube struggle to provide me anything meaningful in the Home feed. Most suggestions are just based on my subscriptions and I see a lot of repeated suggestions as it doesn't know what I have watched.

>If you don’t consider power price arbitration a “power plant” when even the US Department of Energy does, then I’m not sure how to bridge our gap.

Except they don't, they specifically call it out as a "virtual power plant" because it doesn't produce power, and isn't regulated by the rules of a power plant that actually generates power.

>Meanwhile, here is a Tesla subsidiary project https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2021-03-08/tesla-is-...

So again, a battery, not a power plant, not actually producing any power. And at a cost that will be dramatically undercut by the wave of cheap LifePo4 batteries that make significantly more sense for grid storage and are slowly trickling into the US now that patents have expired.

>Tesla is also constantly vertically integrating. The writing is on the wall. If you’d rather not see it, then ok, that is your prerogative.

The "constant vertical integration" the Tesla fanboys constantly screech about is just a lot of marketing around doing exactly what every other auto company has done in the past. The fact they're finding secondary uses for their battery tech is great. But across the board, outside of EV's, they produce a vastly inferior product. The powerwall is an inferior product to countless existing home battery solutions. Their "solar roof" was literally a bailout of his cousin and is vastly inferior to existing solar panel options, and grossly overpriced. What's their total install base? 1,000 houses? Have they even hit that with the "solar shingles", not the bait and switch overpriced solar panel options?

I can't even tie a Tesla charger into my utility provider's night and weekend plan, I have to use a chargepoint or enel charger. So tell me all about this massive lead they've got.

I have had mine since April 2022 so I have ~14 months of usage on it.

It has become the only way I play games now. The single USB-C is great, I plug it into the same dock [a Dell WD19TBS] I use for my work MBP and personal XPS which provides dual screen, keyboard, mouse, Ethernet, additional USB ports, power, etc over a single cable.

I use it any time I'm travelling which can be anything from 20 mins to 15 hours. Depending on which game I'm playing, I can still get ~6 hours of battery in a single charge and it still charges quick enough. It uses the USB Power Delivery 3.0 standard so any >=45 W charger from a phone or battery pack will work.

This is a bit like the original Switch adverts when it first came out. Where people are playing a game on their sofa at home, then take the console with them to a party on a roof somewhere.

I thought I would never use the trackpads but they are probably the killer input. I use them extensively, they've very sensitive which makes them perfect for fine input controls, and they have rumble motors in them so it feels like you're physically moving something.

The suspend-resume is fantastic, it's very quick and works even though games were not designed for this usecase like they are on consoles.

One complaint I've heard a few times if from people who have already spent a lot on a powerful PC to play games, and are then disappointed that games are less impressive on a device optimised to run at 10W. I was already used to running AAA games on low->medium graphics so in some cases the Steam Deck was actually an upgrade for me.

The ambition is that this will be addressed by supporting RFC8657[0], which would allow domain owners to restrict HTTP-01 issuance by declaring an issuance policy through DNS records. It's been live at staging for years and still waiting to make it to prod[1].

DNS-01 attacks are by default similarly vulnerable to MitM between the issuer and your DNS server, which can be mitigated by setting up DNSSEC.

I've clocked over 100 hours of playtime on mine since buying one in January. It's great. I've especially used it for reading visual novels.

(Unfortunately Valve broke the per-platform playtime reporting that SteamDB had, so I can only say that I've played for at least 105 hours.)

As a counterpoint to the other comments here - I’ve been quite disappointed with mine.

It’s a wonderfully flexible device, and extremely fun to tinker with - but the ergonomics are shockingly bad. I don’t know if it’s the size, weight or shape to blame, but it quite reliably gives me the worst hand/wrist pain I’ve ever experienced from a device like it. I’ve tried plenty of purported solutions - adjusting my grip to various positions, attaching grip tape to the handles, etc - and none of them have made any difference.

I played it for two hours last week and it gave me such severe hand cramp that I wasn’t able to fully close my fingers without pain for three days. The only way to fix the pain is to simply not use the console.

There are scattered accounts along these lines on places like /r/SteamDeck - I gather I’m not really unique in this respect.

It’s tremendously unfortunate, really - it’s excellent at what it does, but I expect I’ll have to just sell mine and hope that a future revision to the hardware makes it a little less painful to use.

It’s good, however, it’ll be able to run macOS and iOS apps on virtual flat panels.

I haven’t looked into the SDK and what it offers, but I read it’s not full room immersive as some gaming sets are.
It is for me, personally. I moved over in 2022 to PopOS and haven't looked back once. Gaming is good (even better than Windows for some titles, like Elden Ring). Coding is better. Web-browsing is identical. OS annoyances are vastly better. I can stream myself playing Cyberpunk on Twitch, I can edit images in Krita.

There's nothing I want to do on desktop Linux that I can't anymore. That's really kind of insane for me to accept, but it's real. Well done guys, it took like thirty years but you made a good OS.

The caveat is I don't do anything highly specialised like high-end video-editing, which is where I hear the big gaps still are.

I tried two cards by two different banks on three different ticketing sites. Without VPN all my payment attempts were rejected.
It's incredible.

I've barely played games the last 5 years or so, but the Steam Deck has been much better than I ever thought it would be and it has brought back gaming for me.

The instant standby/resume from inside any game, from anywhere, is a true game changer. If I have 5-10 min somewhere I can jump into a game and be back in a second.

Another use-case is playing some mouse/keyboard games in the bed or sofa. I've been playing tons of FTL and the trackpads work exceptionality well (for slower games or games you can pause).

Or just emulate almost any older game (and many newer switch games).

In the same way that you want the source code of your software to be accessible to you to edit, it seems reasonable to want your AI to be accessible to you. In a world where models are open, that means having the data to train them that is open.

> I've noticed this trend of changing the meaning of words in recent decades.

I think you're referring to words with political meaning, so I won't rant about the word "literally".

There are people who insist that some words must change their meanings, and that other words must be entirely abandoned, because they see language as shaping how people think, and so by changing language, they hope to steer the way that people think. Steering the way that people think is indistinguishable from political campaigning, as far as I can see; so I see the blacklisting etc. of words as a kind of political campaigning by the back door.

I find these word-games offensive. I don't want to offend people, so I try not to use terms that are considered offensive. But they don't give up; "negroe" became "black" became "african-american" and so on. I've lost patience.

And I have a strong sense that these word-games are a substitute for persuading people; like, persuasion seems to have failed, so let's manipulate them by changing the language. I hate the sense that I'm being manipulated.

First, you need to find your people. Then you need to understand their pain.

To find them, find professional organizations, newsletters, chamber of commerce members, whatever where they go and attend. Learn how they describe their space and what problems they talk about. If the problem you're solving comes up regularly, that's great!

Then you need to understand their pain. Ask them about it. Ask them what happened & what they did last time. Ask them what the consequences, costs, and results were.

Do NOT ask them to predict the future.
