The audio quality of what we watch is all over the place. YouTube shot on a phone, and a 4 million dollar per-installment miniseries go back-to-back.

We use subtitles because adjusting the audio all the time is crazy. We’ve even disconnected the sub and sound bar because the low audio quality on YouTube causes all kinds of booms and stuff that’s kinda shocking.

Nobody ever talks about the insanely bad quality of audio in amateur productions, but that’s why we always have the subtitles on.

Also, we have a much more multigenerational presence than ever before and the older folks really like being able to see what they can’t always hear.
Not just you.

Doing geophysical air surveys back in the day we'd record distance to ground, temp, humidity, and air pressure in order to have a running estimated mass between craft and ground to correctly scale readings such as radiometric spectrums from ground decay which weaken with mass between source (ground) and detector (craft).

> The evidence suggests that abuse is actually a cross-cutting problem. It arises whenever you put adults in proximity to children. Why focus only on the religious organizations?

Focus should not be exclusively on religious organizations. But focus should be disproportionately on them because of their track record of using moral superiority to explain away and stop abusers.

It makes sense from Apple's image that want to create: being associated with trust and stability, even if means less freedom at some extent.

If I ("I" as the potential customer) can buy an iPad where I can trust Apple because they are taking many measures to make my iPad non-stealable (by practically removing many incentives to steal) it would create a trustworthy image and I'd feel safer, and Apple would have reached its goal of that image.
From my own memory, trans topics had hardly any coverage in the news (= my best indicator for popularity/acceptance) 7 years ago in 2016[0]. I think widespread acceptance is a very recent thing and it somewhat seems like the T in LGBT is somewhat in its nascency. I'm willing to bet many of the people there have developed different views with the societal shifts in what's accepted as moral in the past 7 years.

All of the events that first come to mind when I think of the movement are very recent, after 2016. Like a UK teacher refusing to use a student's preferred pronouns in 2022, JK Rowling catching heat for her views in September 2019 and Canada judging a lawsuit by a trans person) when that person's identity is relevant) in 2019 too.

There wasn't any mainstream news coverage about them (whether positive or negative) in 2016, and I think the increasing news coverage since then (whether positive or negative) is a sign that they've started to gain acceptance. Negative news about a movement would only be published if those part of the movement are relevant.

I just think we can try to be more understanding of the recent past. We didn't always have the same views we do now...

Isn't stevia non controversial? It's essentially a plant extract.

Personally my problem with sweeteners is twofold. First, they are massively overused (especially in drinks). Second sugar adds more than just sweetness. It thickens the texture a little. I've never encountered this being replicated properly in products that use sweeteners instead.

You do realize that this grace period is intended precisely to make it easier for libdevs to adapt, yes? 3rd item in the list in the linked article, quote:

"We also need to bring along the rest of the Python community as we gain those insights and make sure the changes we want to make, and the changes we want them to make, are palatable."

End quote.

Yes, library developers have to keep up with developments in the underlying language as well as changes in usage patterns by the community. That is true for all programming languages.

And as I have pointed out numerous times before, this change is on the wishlist of many libdevs in the python community.
Yes - and it's rich to me that veterans of sophistry as a game are complaining about new tactics. Granted, I don't think highly of most of these kritik-hijackings either, but they only exposed the shallowness (or "nihilism" in the author's words) at the core.

I belive it's that syrupy thickness people that prefer sugary version like, more than just the sweetness.

Personally, after a long brake from drinking coke/pepsi I can't stand either the original or the zero. I seem to crave the taste sometimes, then I buy one(zero) and it's like "what is this? Why sweetness is literally the only thing that I can taste here?" It feels like they are doubling the sugar in comparison to how I remember it. Most likely it's the same drink, I was just used to the massive sweetener/sugar content before.
I understand the temptation to comment on the character of OP (against HN guidelines) but we don’t know anything about OP and should assume good faith and it’s entirely possible OP is new to the field. At face value, OP might think the right thing to do is “report it.” I have trust in the system that at worst, whoever they report it to will just say “ok, thanks for reporting” and the world simply shrugs and moves on.

Frankly, for all of the hand wringing over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it pales in comparison to Japanese atrocities in China and many other places.

In stark contrast to Germany where every school kid learns about the millions killed in the Holocaust, the rape of Nanking and many, many more atrocities by Imperial Japan are routinely denied altogether in Japan.

When it comes to the U.S., I can say that I certainly learned about the bombings, it was presented as extremely morally ambiguous, our class held a debate over it, and I was shown pictures of atomic bomb victims in the textbooks I was given.

When we started with the monitor development we looked at several temp/humidity sensors and some had pressure included.

The Python repl isn't really anything like a Lisp is it? Like you can run the interpreter interactively, but every language has that. That's not a Lisp REPL where you can edit and save code while it's running and then just commit it. Unless I am missing some awesome features of the python repl :)

anecdata of one, but I was pretty far ahead of my class early on and as a result, I learned to behave like an idiot as a way to gain social acceptance. This culminated in resentment and general failure to socialize properly. It wasn't until 11th/12th grade that it clicked with me that I really ought to stop expending so much energy trying to maintain early childhood relationships and should instead try to make better friendships with my peers in advanced classes.

"too good" is elitist language, but I was clearly differently minded from my peers in early grade school and I think it harmed a lot more than it helped.

From problems that require recognition of patters, whether in images or sounds, a non-linear function represented through neural networks and trained through gradient descent just suffices to produce smoothly distributed fuzzy classification that just works.

at the end of the day Apple (and thus we as customers) always pay.

Doesn't matter if Apple pays only for 'good' chips (and hence TSMC will increase overall prices) or if Apple pays for all chips (and throws away a bunch, hence increasing overall prices). TSMC won't just eat up the cost completely either and wafer prices have been going up steadily.
I like Eric Meijer's take on this. He said that the important property of interface are not the actual method signatures, but rather laws that the methods follow when being called.

I think it follows that with bigger interface, there are more laws to follow (for example, read() must be called after open() but not after close()), and as a consequence, utility of that abstraction gets more limited.
This is also how I interpreted it, which I take it is probably incorrect and would like to know why.
Ideally, their profile(1) should allow them to quickly admit they were wrong on such a simple issue.

Academia doesn't have a culture of admitting mistakes. Retracting a paper is typically seen as something shameful rather than progress (by scrutinizing results).

Combined with pressure to publish and sometimes limited engineering skills it leads to a volatile mix. There are a lot of published results that are not reproducible when you'd try (not saying anything new here, see replication crisis).
Samsung Galaxy Tabs have OLED screens and fresh Snapdragons. While I don't have a tablet (yet? let's see the S9) both my laptop and phone have OLED screens and I am never going back.

So yeah, budget tablets are not great but there's certainly some improvement on the higher end.
Libreboot/Coreboot/etc are themselves projects which try to replace what many would consider a "binary blob" with open source code.

It's not surprising that the inclusion of (smaller) binary blobs in those projects is an issue which elicits strong feelings both ways since it goes to the core of the projects' purposes.
To use your own analogy, you would like the folding phone from 20 years in the future (reliable and inexpensive). It sounds like you didn't want the camera phone of today in its infancy.

This seems pretty counter intuitive but this is often the other way around. The safest streets in Europe are where cars, bikes and pedestrian mix together.

Good point! The formula indeed assumes a base probability of zero. That's actually why I put "The best cafe ever" in there and that it is called an "exceptionally awesome cafe". I got a bit lax later in the text just calling it "awesome".

For a cafe aficionado, who spends most of their time in cafes, reading HN and thinking about formulas, the probability that some random cafe becomes their new favorite is virtually zero.

In other words: The more cafes you already know, the closer to zero the chance that a random one will be the best of them all.

So yeah, it is a formula for cafe lovers. Not for the casual person who is happy with a random filtered coffee swill from the vending machine. Those would have to add a base probability, turning the formula into something like b+n/(n+x)*(1-b).
