What is even your metric for this? Apple CPUs perform well because they are specifically tuned for their use cases with software stacks designed to go hand-in-hand with them. Other than that, they are fairly generic fat cores with wide execution ports.

There are a plethora of benchmarks that fall apart for Apple processors, and they hardly compare to most x86 or Power processors when you change the TDP envelope.

As with any chip design, they're targeted for a specific use case and they shine in that realm. That hardly makes them "the best" and that claim does a disservice to a multitude of engineers at other firms with other design considerations.
It's different in that nobody expects anyone to implement their own copy of the LoC. This constant expansion of the character set puts an enormous burden on a very large collection of developers. The inevitable happens - they just don't bother - making full Unicode support a pipe dream.
As someone who is currently on a path to self-study maths I understand what you're saying and sympathise. This is my predicament at the moment to a certain extent. And of course it all depends heavily on context- In the context of \frac{\sum^n x_i}{n}, i isn't the imaginary unit, it's the looping variable over the elements of x so we can compute the average, and everyone just knows (or is expected to), just like r^2 means the square of some variable r, or the extent to which one variable is explained by another in a regression etc whereas R^2 means a two-dimensional space over the real numbers.

That said, I think and hope that I may in the future feel differently as my skills improve. My theory is that if everyone always added in that foundational knowledge to each paper etc it would make everything really verbose and make trying to get to the point of what you're saying a real slog for the author and the experienced practitioners. Being able to be consise means you get to the heart of the new stuff quickly without having to slog through a bunch of "C is the set of complex numbers a+bi where a and b are in R and i^2 = -1" first.

I’ve been experimenting recently with listening to my writing via a text-to-speech program as a part of the editing process. It’s great for noticing odd sentence patterns and overused words that are less obvious when reading.

This is different from merely reading it out loud by yourself, which doesn’t give you enough distance.

And this is the fundamental failure of Unicode post 16 bit code points. Unicode has set itself an absurdly impossible task.
On of the best editing tools in an editors toolbox is the reverse outline.

When you read a text try to make a way too detailed outline for it. In a good text this will still make sense, if you text has jumpy thoughts they will show up in that reverse outline and you can fix them by removing or reshuffling things or by reducing the interuption of the inserted text (by shortening the passage, by rephrasing the sentence, by moving it into a footnote, etc.)

The issue isn't as much as the realized damage, it's the way it's been handled. Ask the people in charge at the time and Jülich never had any issue: it's deny, deflect, deter all the way.

So we're dealing with an industry that cuts corners whenever it feels like it, and received unlimited backing of politics by sweeping incidents under the nearest rug, and trampling over communities at will (see how the Wentland region was chosen to become a permanent storage site for nuclear waste).

In such an environment at some point any statistics are meaningless, even harmful: they drive home the point that in face of the nuclear industry and its political handling, the people are just a statistic. Why should the people put up with that?

Nuclear power in Germany wasn't a technical failing (for the most part), it was politics colluding with the industry in a way that evaporated any trust.

Nuclear technology is highly regulated for good reason (enriched uranium 235 isn't simply available "over the counter", for example), which increases the amount of trust required. It wasn't any particular incident that killed nuclear power in Germany, it was the inability to act responsibly.

It's cheaper than having to deal with paper that gets dirty, torn apart by kids or outright stolen. And "daily special" doesn't need to be manually inserted into menus any more.

I've mentioned it in another thread about ice cream machines already: restaurants and hospitality in general are absurd cheapskates. Whenever a tiny avenue opens that saves them money, they'll do it, legal or not - the only thing that matters is that it looks acceptable to customers.

But you say that flamewars are not wanted, and yet they are allowed to be started by a small number of accounts.

All of the flamewar threads in this post were done by 4 accounts, which follow V posts and my comments, and start the flamewars:

1) https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=zamberzand (an account created to only spread a single message throughout the years)

2) ModernMech, about 20 flamewar posts. This thread is very telling, where I ask not to start another pointless flamewar, get flagged, and ModernMech goes on:

The comment by riku_iki is spot on: "You are stalking him with toxic attacks on the minor issues which were resolved long ago; I think language which these people are using (scam, outrageous and frequently false claims, lying) is hard to call "mildly critical", and given they appear in multiple posts and their claims are not directly relevant to post, and proactively initiate all these toxic exchanges, this is exactly stalking."

3) richbell, 11 posts.

4) and a couple of new accounts that were thankfully flagged.

I'm not saying that all criticism of V should be flagged, just posts by such accounts, whose only purpose is to start flame wars.
No, but verification engineers are cheaper in India.
Neither claim is substantiated. We're just imagining different futures. You can imagine what you like.
To add to that:

1. Technology and screen time aren't the problems; it's the lack of passion and interests that is the root problem. Cultivate passion in your child and expose them to new things. You'll immediately notice a positive change in how they use their screen time to pursue these interests. When they watch gaming videos or unboxing on youtube they do that because that's their current passion.

2. Your control over your children diminishes over time. Build trust early on and allow them to make mistakes; these are invaluable teaching tools. It's better to teach them good habits concerning technology while you still have influence, rather than later when your control is limited.

3. There are real costs associated with not allowing your child largely unrestricted access to technology. These costs include social drawbacks, a significantly reduced ability for them to explore their passions independently, and long-term tension between the child and the parents due to a lack of trust.
Those preload things are a scourge. Just charge me what I owe.
I want a safari private browsing mode equivalent for apps on iPhone. I would turn this on by default for all apps. And I would use Apple ID generated per-app user-id and iCloud private relay and private email for every app by default. I'm hopeful that Apple will do it as they are a privacy focused company. Basically iPhone should behave like TorBrowser for every single app. I also want the location service to feed an address based location or a previously saved location to the app. And I want to deny any attempts to fingerprint via device ids and names like wifi access point names or bluetooth devices etc. Someone at apple, if you are reading this, please get it done. Thanks!
I guess technically true, since the only screens we had back then were the computer and TV, and I didn't give a damn about the latter.
This is my feeling on the language. I like the creator and would love a language that professes to doing everything they mention. But, at this point, it all seems like a pipe dream as long as he silos off any actual review or use of it.
I won't talk for my entire generation, but I (40 years old) have 2 kids for absolutely selfish reasons - I feel love for them and having my kids makes me deeply happy[0] in a way that nothing else really did (not my career nor my hobbies or friends).

This would be especially amazing on mobile. I was not expecting to see an improvement to typing anytime soon, but I think I might actually be more productive with this.

Now I'm imagining building a keyboard that has it built in, with a little OLED right on the keyboard, and when you press space it types out the closest match to what's in the buffer, and you don't have to take your eyes away from the board to see what the autocorrect is doing.
The Stinging Fly is also a fantastic magazine of new short ficton and poetry that I highly reccomend. It's one of the few I've maintained a long-running subscription to. The quality of what they print, and their willingness to print challenging and unusual things, makes them well worth checking out.

Typically, people use it to create music, so the restrictions of the GPL are no concern.
The Search for Terrestrial Intelligence scores a positive signal.

Adding one further factor to your list: there's all but certainly a direct correlation between major Jupiter strikes and Earth strikes. Refining estimates of the former will help in establishing values of the latter.

Extreme brainstorming questions to trigger new, better ideas (2022)
I'm not talking about homonyms (but I wasn't clear enough about that, sorry). I'm talking about the exact alphabets describing pronunciations. Honestly I can't really differentiate [hɑt] and [hat] sounds, but their IPA renditions are clearly different and have to be differently encoded.
International travel and fine dining is absolutely not comparable to having kids in terms of the returns you get on these activities. I don't mean quantitatively, but qualitatively - you don't get the same kind of satisfaction from both.

The only thing I'd say is somewhat qualitatively comparable is being a in a loving relationship.
No need to be offended. I've clearly advocated Unicode16, which surely encompasses your spelling. Unicode16 is an achievable and implementable goal. I welcomed it as a great advance.

I do note that you use ASCII for your handle. Could that be because few will be able to figure out how to enter the code point for your name? If your handle includes code point 0x123456, how do you expect users to deal with it?
Or just actually learn the library.
> How would you say Supercollider is more modern?

Reasonable syntax, naming, errors, etc. Csound feels like programming assembler. Yeah, you can macro and it's powerful, but... it was far from fun for me.

Exactly. That is a restrictive license, and no one is going to use it (it being Supercollider) in anything resembling a commercial product. A lot of these programmatic audio systems make their way into things like installations and video games. Supercollider can't be used in commercial instances except when you're just releasing music.

My child is still too young but my policy is that it should learn to use a real PC first before switching to tablets and smartphones. The core concepts of how to use a mouse and keyboard, what are files and folders, how to use actual desktop software gets lost on smartphones.

I will also start with harsh restrictions and parental controls first and then allow more and more. It is easier to limit access right away than applying restrictions afterwards.
That's skipping right past the tension inherent in wanting, straight into believing.
That's a very neutral thing to say.
I'm almost 50 and could say the same except instead of phones and tablets it was console video games and a personal computer with internet access.

Kids definitely have a different(extreme.. worse..) experience today, I'm not going to argue with that. But I think I was 5 when I started going long stretches of the day with no parental involvement and large amounts of device time. When I was 12 I got a modem, and was suddenly exposed to porn, online socializing and trolling, underground culture, pirated games, etc. For large stretches of time it was basically all I did outside of poorly performing at school.

Yea, the Csound syntax does take some getting used to. But I just haven't found a demo of Supercollider that I feel sounds good. It all sounds pretty glitchy and digitally, for lack of a better word. But the interaction of Supercollider does seem nice.

They're certainly both very cool, as well as their other brethren like Pure Data, Max, Audiomulch, Faust, ChucK, etc.
I've been thinking about some code annotation tool recently, where you can quickly plaster a code base with (linked) notes. This could be used to outline a new feature for a junior to implement, but also when trying to understand a new code base.

There's a few tools similar, but not exactly how I imagine it to be.
Has anyone found a tool for the use-cases mentioned above?

> good search function

If there are 5 encodings for the glyph 'a', how are you going to know which one to search for? And there's no guarantee whatsoever which encoding the author used, or if he used them consistently. Your search function is going to be unreliable at best.

After all, if I was writing algebra, I'd use the ASCII 'a' not the math glyph. So will most everyone else but the most pedantic.
OpenCyc is already a thing and there's been very little interest in it. These days we also have general-purpose semantic KB's like Wikidata, that are available for free and go way beyond what Cyc or OpenCyc was trying to do.
But it does. The only reason people ever use it is because they think it's "my timezone", which works until it doesn't.

This whole process is ripe for "photoshop for writing" software that could help you assembly-line the process somewhat. Storyboarding – describing characteristics of the characters, planning the character evolution, who they meet when, how they change as a person etc, key plot elements – knowing all the well-known and famous plot "compositions" from greatest literature – and using them as templates to create your plot for your characters., checking for factual correctness within your universe, logical consistency etc. fixing your vocabulary – keeping your dictionary of words as small or as big as you want, writing style at a sentence/paragraph/chapter level – being descriptive, being easy to read from a paperback, being easy to listen as an audiobook etc. Software could help you do each of these steps – with AI – and just as a workflow that's split among many different specialized humans – and as process steps that's done in some sequential and iterative manner. I sure hope such a software already exists, if not, I wonder why nobody has already done it.
