From where I sit, there's a general perception that driverless cars ("tech") will reduce traffic accidents and fatalities and be an overall significant positive improvement in transportation (source: partner is lifer at city DOT and is pro-driverless cars). There's a corresponding trust that companies/process/regulations wouldn't allow the deployment of driverless vehicles unless they're a safe and mature technology. And a similar lack of understanding of how mature the technology actually is (given mainstream hype from Musk etc). So a demonstration that extreme anti-social behavior will currently result, not from edge-case conditions that would be dangerous even for a human to be driving in, but from a simple hack that literally any miscreant could pull off in seconds and successfully run away from without any risk to themselves, might be sufficient to raise awareness that we can't trust creators of these vehicles or the larger system to do adequate testing before deployment, and that in fact the vehicles are already deployed widely enough to inflict transportation blockages with a minimum of miscreants and effort by same.
Thanks! Adding that to the things I've learned (or unforgotten, I guess is more accurate)
Yeah actually, that’s much better. Adults have consequences, feel shame when people glare at them, and can be kicked off the flight before take off.

I sit down on a flight, I roll with anything that goes wrong, and just focus on getting to where I’m going, like 80% of most adults on a plane. Babies on the other hand, I’m pretty sure that’s 0% of them with that sort of attitude.
They're pretty incremental changes year by year, but it should be a solid bump if your phone is a few years old.
We’re in the same boat. USB-C mandatory going forward.

I kinda hate that the new MacBook Air went back to a MagSafe charger for this reason.
Bird routers didn't have the problem, correct?
USB-C would be nice but it probably won't happen until Apple is forced to do it.

I have an iPhone 11 that is starting to fail so I guess its time to upgrade but honestly there's nothing feature-wise I can think that I need in newer models and it's been that way for years.

One thing I wish they'd do is have Touch ID as an option on all iPhones, iPads and the Apple Watch. I absolutely hate Face ID. In fact it's ableist, often failing for people who through lack of normal vision have to hold their phones closer to see them.

Just put a touch sensor on the back like the Samsung Galaxy phones used to (and still do?).

But that won't happen. Still, I ditched a perfectly good iPad Pro (with Face ID) to buy an iPad Air (with Touch ID) but that one and only reason.

Until we fully understand all of the processes in morphogenesis and hormone changes in prenatal development (hint: we don't), I see this pursuit as reckless at best. Furthermore why are we pursuing this in people when the "artificial womb" that happened with sheep was shaky?

Want an example of this type of end run being used in practice? Nearly a decade ago? Obama used banking access to do a similar end run around businesses deemed political enemies.

That sounds like the answer to my question is: that's what HCT is meant for, but no there aren't any such resources, because it’s supposed to be as simple as tweaking the numbers. Am I reading that right?

> It feels like private companies are de facto writing the laws about what's allowed online and in society right now, and that it's almost become a loophole for censoring free speech on a whim.

This is why monopoly power is dangerous as without it you could just move to a more tolerant competitor and be on with your business. The courts almost never consider the "secondary markets" that exist around these behemoths, and how all of our interests and independence are significantly damaged by allowing these monopolies to merge into existence.

Of course, even this feels like the conversation they would _like_ you to have, because the other side I never see considered is what does it take to buy an "indulgence" from these companies? Is it easy? Is it often done? How often are these "scions of social justice" actually just "turning a blind eye?"

I'm not dismissive of Elixir, I'm dismissive that Elixir magically solved this problem in a way other languages couldn't. If you have some supporting evidence or rationale as to why Elixir is uniquely able to solve this problem, I'm happy to hear it, but so far you've offered up "low latency GC" which isn't unique to Elixir and itself doesn't adequately explain the degree of improvement over Python (GC latency alone doesn't reduce from 200 servers to 4). Again, I'm happy to entertain arguments about why Elixir is uniquely able to improve performance, but I'm not going to take it on faith (which you interpret as 'dismissive of Elixir').

I don't believe this is shipping yet.
Some notable reasons:

- Ruby was 4 years younger than Python on the day it was introduced and cites Python as one of it's influences.
- It's a fine language but besides rails it wasn't adopted for other uses like Python was.
- In the UK at least Django is way more prevalent than rails for web-dev. And if Django doesn't float your boat, there is Flask, FastAPI and others.
- Python's 3rd party libs are incredibly wide and many.
- It was boosted by Google early on which gave it a stamp of authority.
- Schools in the UK teach it to secondary students (high school).
- Devices like Raspberry Pi came out with full micro Python support.
- There is micro Python.
- There is Python in Python (pypy).
- There is full windows support
- The AI/ML/Data Crowd's darling
- It's fast enough for most things and getting faster still.

As someone else mentioned - "win" is not the right term here. Win what? A TShirt? a toaster oven? It's just a matter of adoption in specific geographical areas

Julia is much younger.

Matlab is closed source. I haven’t touched it since I had a uni license.
we need to decriminalize, legalize, and regulate this industry.
I really wanted to love Python. As a Ruby programmer I thought Python would be like Ruby, but with a prettier syntax because of the syntactic white space.

Unfortunately this turned out not to be the case. Here's my gripes with Python as a Ruby developer that really wanted to love Python:

There's a bunch of global functions that should have been methods on objects, like `len()`. OO in general seems slapped on later, as evidenced by the weird double underscores, and the explicit this object as first arguments for methods. (OO is core to Ruby and very elegantly implemented imo).

Higher order functional programming is a lot more awkward than you would expect from a scripting language that's generally praised for its data processing qualities. It's nice that function definitions are closures but you can't make them anonymously as function arguments, the reason apparently being that Guido didn't want to complicate the parser. This is a contrast with Ruby's most interesting and unique feature, the do syntax which is a syntactic trick making it really easy to use higher order functions that take a single function as their last argument.

Sort of an aside, but from an interview I read with Guido I understand that he actually regrets making Python have semantic whitespace, he actually doesn't like it. To me the semantic whitespace is one of Python's few redeeming qualities and I just wish Ruby would have adopted it as well. Maybe if it had we'd all be unanimously using Ruby.
> It feels like it's pretty much gameover for free speech in any context.

And it's going to go the opposite way that people are expecting. For some reason, the Democratic base has been trained to think that it will be possible for them to impose an authoritarian meritocracy of kind middle-class people using a police force and army largely made up of working-class reactionary quasi-theocrats. When the shit goes down, the neocons will forget that they spent a year or two pretending to care about misgendering while liberals helped them build the Stasi's dream. Instead we'll end up with dictatorship run by a mashup of Reagan, Trump, and Thiel.

Wouldn't it depend on port speed and whatever protocol the AR glasses need to use? Here's what rumors say about the port:

https://www.macrumors.com/2023/05/17/iphone-15-usb-c-rumor-r...

"While all iPhone 15 models are expected to have a USB-C port, only the Pro models will support at least USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3 for faster data transfer speeds up to 40 Gbps, according to Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. He expects the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus to remain limited to USB 2.0 speeds of up to 480 Mbps like Lightning."

The process of evolution "from scratch", i.e. from single-celled organisms took billions of years.

This is all relevant because humans aren't born as random chemical soup. We come with pre-trained weights from billions of years of evolution, and fine-tune that with enormous amounts of sensory data for years. Only after that incredibly complex and time-consuming process does a person have the ability to learn from a few examples.

An LLM can generalize from a few examples on a new language that you invent yourself and isn't in the training set. Go ahead and try it.
Yes the Crissy Field one. Didn't realize there was another marina one.
rails was popular but a very high tower of nominally unique abstractions; coming from perl or PHP and jumping on rails it felt as if rails essentially popularised the generative approach to web infrastructure that is now considered standard (though it existed elsewhere previous and since). For that reason many took it up, but were locked in to its way of doing things, and its problem domain. That is to say, rails programmers were often more interested in CSS and matters of web frontend than backend programming, and thus the surge of programmers it attracted probably did less to bolster the language than they could have. Other groups of programmers who also lept on ruby, such as security enthusiasts, also tended to stick to their corner. In many cases, they were later in the piece - early ruby had many problems with unicode long since solved in PHP, for instance. Ruby felt to me as if it simply never became a cross-pollinating community in the same way other language communities did.

Ruby absolutely has awesome features: lovely syntax, introspection, etc. however people do not use programming languages because of the features but more so the inertia (see: C, FORTRAN, Java...)

Meanwhile, python became popular in universities and the bog standard mechanism by which the publication of a library could be ensured with forward compatibility on many platforms. It was boring, and perfect for boring uses. Most software is boring. To my mind it's really a Java replacement, more so than a ruby/php/perl replacement, or at least spans with confidence enough of Java's traditional market to have a foot in the door for general business deployment of arbitrary projects.

Very much like @NeckbeardHacker's quotable "CentOS in the streets, Gentoo in the sheets." I think python is a business language but few multilingual programmers would really write it just for fun. Experienced programmers seem to get their fun from things like lua, ruby, and whatnot. I don't know why, but syntax is part of it.
That would be by choice, though. My mom's 110 year old house still has some circuits with cloth wiring. But it has a number of new (40-50 year old) circuits that are normal, grounded 5-15 120V. And the kitchen, basement, and garage have 240V receptacles. This is pretty much the same setup as any modern house.
Point it out?
Having the MagSafe and the Thunderbolt 3/4 ports is a great combination. it's a welcome change on the road to have magsafe but I use TB3 at home with a dock.
Not a single picture of an actual working area.
The best language seldom wins. External factors have a greater influence. Such as JavaScript being the only language available in the browser during the explosion of the web. It was not the best language but in ran in the best place.
both ruby and python had 1.0 releases in the mid 90s.
You still charge through the USB-C / Thunderbolt ports (and use a USB-C to USB-C cable with the provided power brick to do so). The MagSafe plug is just for convenience (and perhaps slightly higher wattage than is normally specced for USB-C on the beefier MBPs).
Rails is probably going to keep Ruby relevant for a lot longer than Perl. I might go as far as to predict that Ruby will be the new COBOL or FORTRAN - widely used but neither cheap nor easy to find someone to modify it.
If you think you can jump up, then you can also jump forward by jumping "up". it's just a matter of what angle the swing is at when you execute the jump.

It's clearly trickier than a standing long jump, but mostly the same.

One way to think about it is that it's similar to jumping from a stationary platform situated on the ground that's continually tilting between 45° backwards and forwards.

The major difference is that even if the stationary platform is at 0° you can still get traction, but a swing will just be pushed back unless you're at the optimal angle, as you correctly point out.

But if you time that jump exactly right the swing will behave like a rigid platform tilted 45° forward.

At which point the proposed Olympic sport is just a standing long jump on a 45° elevated platform, with the added requirement of exquisite timing.
That's right. Authoritarian censors found an exploit. They couldn't use the government to clamp down on civil liberties because of the pesky constitution, so they invaded the administrative layer of big tech. It's not the engineers who built the web and these companies with Silicon Valley ideals. They were never intended to be used this way and are secretly horrified.

Are you not able use the USB-C port to charge on the Air (or is it more that there's less ports available if you do that)? I'm able to for my M2 Macbook Pro and it has a magsafe port.
ShellGPT https://github.com/TheR1D/shell_gpt does pretty well for a lot of use cases. I mostly use it in REPL mode, switching topics as needed. I have wrappers around the `sgpt` command to, say, start a REPL with a particular topic, say, Python, which loads my previous history on that topic as part of the prompt.

I also have an alias to save existing chats as text files so I can go back and review history.

Finally, there is an alias to load a question up in an editor if I need to enter multiline text, e.g. to discuss code fragments, etc.

I expect command-line workflows to be pretty individualized and I'm curious what others do. For me (old programmer), using a command line REPL feels much more natural (and blissfully noise-free) than going to a Web page to talk to, say, ChatGPT.
The process of setting out regulatory rules including ones on what the criteria are that need to be met for human testing to be allowed?

Seems to me that you've actually pointed to the reasons that, given that the technology is being pursued by industry, rulemaking is necessary, not premature.

Ask HN: Are Google IT Support Certificates Worth Doing?
A bit of background first: I've got a friend asking me for career advice. I'm a software dev living in NZ and she is a lab tech in the US. I don't know a huge amount about either the IT Support career track or the US IT job market.

So with that out of the way, are the Google IT qualifications [1] a good choice for someone looking to change their career and get a foot in the door at entry level?

In my circles the IT support career starts with several years of help desk support at various levels. Then followed by a promotion/job move into an IT Admin / Sys Admin style role. Then maybe a move into a devops team (what exactly that means is different each time). Some people have short cut that process with a university CompSci/Software Engineering degree but I don't think anyone I know has short cut that with just CompTIA style qualifications.

Would someone in the US (New York state, not city if that makes a difference) expect a similar career track? Would doing the Google IT qualifications allow them to step into a Sys Admin role, would hiring managers hire them for that?

I would like to make sure I'm not going to steer her wrong, that any advice is given with the US context in mind.

Thanks heaps in advance.

The CRT TVs back in the 70s and 80s were pigs. Not 150W, more like 300W and sometimes more. It would take some work to make a modern LCD with similar consumption. Even when plasma was all the rage, it wasn't that bad.
I'm still on my iPhone 11 too.

Yeah, starting to feel that for sure.
Of course. I'm just seeing that this is a sign of where we are headed.
Something was wrong with their design of the last MacBook Airs with USB-C charging port. I'm very gentle with my electronics and yet the charging port broke two times in a row (fixed under warranty). My daughter's MacBook Air had the same internal break as well (fixed under warranty).

I suspect they didn't properly support the internals so the force of inserting a USB-C plug caused a crack or break over time (and a short time!).

I went out and bought cheap "MagSafe" like USB-C connectors for my machines and my kids (in college) machines. I personally WELCOME the return to MagSafe!
Also if you happen to trip over the magsafe cord, the possibility of snapping the connector is non-existent compared to the risk of using a USB-C cable.
You can still charge through the USB-C ports, fwiw.
Neutrinos from cosmic sources are incredibly rare. If you want any real chance of detecting them you need large detectors. The neutrinos from this CERN experiment are much more concentrated. That allows them to use much smaller detectors.
If the population is growing you would expect the number of suicides to also grow. It takes a long time for the article to talk about suicide rates, which are the important stats:

"U.S. suicides steadily rose from the early 2000s until 2018, when the national rate hit its highest level since 1941. That year saw about 48,300 suicide deaths — or 14.2 for every 100,000 Americans.

The rate fell slightly in 2019. It dropped again in 2020, during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Some experts tied that to a phenomenon seen in the early stages of wars and natural disasters, when people pull together and support each other.

But in 2021, suicides rose 4%. Last year, according to the new data, the number jumped by more than 1,000, to 49,449 — about a 3% increase vs. the year before. The provisional data comes from U.S. death certificates and is considered almost complete, but it may change slightly as death information is reviewed in the months ahead.

The largest increases were seen in older adults. Deaths rose nearly 7% in people ages 45 to 64, and more than 8% in people 65 and older. White men, in particular, have very high rates, the CDC said."
The office has become a real hot potato. The crux of it is that demand is down and staying there, and cities, companies and individuals are all winners or losers, but the losers can try to lose less by passing the cost on to someone else.

And big tech has the cash to absorb the blow of forcing everyone back to the office, but it marks them permanently as a dinosaur firm, a place where there used to be A-rank people but they all left for somewhere more flexible.

In the previous era it was hard to avoid pursuing a high capitalization play - either building or merging into a more consolidated firm - because the low interest rates meant that if you didn't do it, someone else would borrow up to do it and weaponize that against the little guys. And real estate was part of that, it was an added-value benefit to build out a bespoke campus with a huge parking lot and to bus in your employees. This is more of a "tide's going out, see who is swimming naked" environment where marginal cost structure dominates and you can opt to have only a small office in a downtown core and get the fire-sale prices and the benefits of public infrastructure, or just go all remote.
