Ireland and the UK have the worst planning processes in the world leading to worse housing crises than even California. Having zoning would imply that it's legal to do something somewhere, which it basically isn't.

In particular the Irish think their island is full of "nature" (when it's actually open fields because the British deforested all of it) and become ecofascists when you suggest any of it could be a building. (Or just regular ones since they think you'll want to put African immigrants in the building. Someone suggested this on Twitter last week and I've never seen so many replies afraid of "Somalis".)

This is why more Irish live in America than in Ireland and the population is lower than it was in the 1800s.
gcc also has some builtins to check pointer sizes when the compiler is able to figure it out.

Which is why I harp on the idea that the real problem is the gold bricks on WG14 who are intentionally blocking improvements to make C safer.

Also point out that if you can implement C on 16bit 0x86's segmented architecture you can certainly implement C with phat pointers too.

This applies to the Switch too. It’s touch screen but has external controls (they detach and you can use the kickstand). iOS supports gaming controllers so you could use it in the same way as the Switch (albeit it doesn’t have a built in kickstand).

Of course that's what's happening. How else would Apple reduce its microplastic footprint come 2035, if they didn't stealthily increase it in 2023? Perhaps they'll cut down on microplastic pollution with a return to 'natural' materials. I wonder if leather might fit the bill?
Yep just look at SGI and Sun and all that.
Ray tracing has been 100% software (as in, either entirely on the CPU or implemented in shader code or CUDA/OpenCL on the GPU) up until 2018, which is when the first hardware-accelerated ray tracing GPUs became widely available.
Finally an article that explains the grounds for his arrest: failure to register his vessel (and his "vessel" is unregisterable under the rules). OK, so far, legit.

But seriously, there should be an opt out for a device that's not a boat, the way offfroad vehicles that can't be on a road typically don't need to be registered.

Or, though you can't offer it for sail, you can make your own hang glider.

Etc.
The problem is apple actively working against the game developers, or they just ignore the market completely. See the example of vulkan, and deprecation of 32bit games. It doesn't matter how good the hardware is. If the platform is not supporting the games and all they have are the occasional courting of the some of the games, the games won't come to the apple platform for free.

Also they are already making the mobile gaming money which is already lucrative. Are they also committing enough to the 'conventional' gaming?

That and the lonesome father looking at photos of his (dead?) family in a dark apartment really left a bad impression from me on the headset that I can't shake. I will never "unsee" that. Sure, use it for work...but at home, no way. Baffled that Apple thought would jive well considering how much attention they put into those presos and makes me wonder how much of the headset marketing team is single & childless.

I also thought that was odd, with the 8fps on the left. Like, what iOS game are people playing with software raytracing at 8fps?
The COP for a heat pump drops as the temperature decreases. The climate should have a large impact on the choice of technology. Here in Florida it is a no brainer, everyone has a heat pump for the cool winter days. In Minnesota, it is a non starter.

I didn't see the announcement, but I saw this blurb on Engadget:

> The company noted that while leather is popular for things like watch straps, it has a serious impact on the environment, particularly at Apple's scale.

Is that actually true? I remember reading a few years ago that there was actually a big glut of leather: people still eat steak and hamburgers, and without a market for the cow hides then that material is wasted. That is, I thought the leather market was largely a byproduct of the beef market, and that reducing leather usage won't have a measurable impact on reducing the number of slaughtered cows.

I found a neat oddity. I was browsing through the code pages and saw a "P" with a horizontal bar through it, in the OEM Nordic cp=865 page at 0x9E. I wondered what it could be.

It is "₧", which is U+20A7. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_peseta comments:

> In the version 1.0 of Unicode the character ₧ U+20A7 PESETA SIGN had two reference glyphs: a "Pts" ligature glyph as in IBM code page 437 and an erroneous P with stroke. In Unicode 2.0 the reference glyph P with stroke was erroneously displayed as the only symbol for peseta[5] and was later corrected to the Pts ligature and a separate character code was added for the peso sign.

pointing to why the P-with-bar unification of the Spanish and Filipino peseta doesn't work, at https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2000/00013-n2156.pdf .

The visual display seems to come from the use of Grotesk, see https://fonts.google.com/?preview.text=kl%E2%82%A7&preview.t... for a couple examples with that presentation.
But the site does allow squaring, and in fact also general exponentiation? Like you can write "fo{2}" to match "foo", where the {2} is squaring.
But if you know you won't need to charge them simultaneously, then you can only carry one cable.

For instance, I'm happy that my new laptop can charge on usb-c, so now I don't need you bring a charger for my switch and a different one for my laptop. I just take the smallest one and charge my laptop and switch with it (but not at the same time). I'm happy to know that I will be able to ditch the lightning cable for my next apple smartphone and only keep a single cable for my three devices.
> terrible decision

I think you meant brave decision.
The most interesting thing to me is that switching to a new SOC process node gives you the option of bumping up performance or reducing power draw, and it sounds like Apple has once again chosen to reduce power draw.

It seems like other vendors have been going the "push performance no matter what it does to power draw and heat" route for a long time now.
Yes, and at a minimum, this is evidence of a literal conspiracy.
I don't mind this type of achievement at all. They're nice and easy rewards for playing the game, a form of acknowledgement that you've at least scratched the surface of what the game has to offer. Having a few achievements to commemorate early stages of game mastery is just neat, and harms no one (except if the achievement notifications spam you during the game).
The same thing you did ten years ago when they got rid of the 30-pin cable?

Quick Guide to Pattern Matching in C#
AAA-like titles were previously tried at the beginning of the App Store, mostly ports of older titles. Most Indie Games would also run fine on most Smartphones, but never succeeded. Stuff that sold great on the Switch. I think the lack of "official" nice, high-quality, hasslefree Gamepad, continuing cooling-issues and especially the expectation of consumers for low prices on Apps results in the Market for "real" games on Phones remaining very small.

Apple tried to counteract it with Apple Arcade, but that hasn't worked out.
Not a country, but the City of Santa Monica, California, keeps a registry of rents for all rent-controlled units. Landlords are required to report an initial tenancy, which sets the starting rent. Each year after that, the City tells the landlord what the "Maximum Allowed Rent" is. All the documents relating to each property are publicly available and the city publishes an annual report.

Not all cities with rent control keep such a registry. (e.g., Los Angeles doesn't keep a registry, but does tell landlords the maximum they can raise the rent each year.)

I found it was an improvement over my wardrobe at the time but when my "evil twin" wanted to dress to impress more I (he?) found it fell flat.

One of the things that denies people a "system" approach to dressing is a constantly changing product line. You might find one thing that really works for you but when you want to replace it, it just isn't there anymore. Recently I got some praise for a shirt I bought at Target, I went and bought a whole bunch of that shirt with different prints because the chance wouldn't come back.

I think they're referring to plugging a usb cable into the phone to charge a device.
I bought an Android phone that transforms into a desktop computer when you plug in a USB-C monitor, and the entire experience is mind blowing. You can even connect a bluetooth keyboard and use the phone screen as a touchpad. Unfortunately I don't think Apple is going to go in that direction anytime soon.

The new-er leather cases are no where near the quality of the X, Xs series leather cases. My 5 year old Xs leather case was like a baseball glove from my youth. These newer ones, like the one on my iPhone 14 just doesn't wear the same.
oh nice. Hopefully a few iterations from now it'll be really good. I just chose a Surface as my personal laptop last year because of this making ipad less than a perfect all-rounder.
206g -> 187g for the Pro

240g -> 221g for the Pro Max
> How many leather cases do you go through per phone?

one every 3 to 6 months, depends on how long i'm travelling for (as that's when i usually drop/scratch/etc my case the most).
It's orthangonal until however you're charging it can't keep up with demand. A 14 Max on a standard USB-A -> Lightning connection is already really marginal. Like, I can drive for an hour with waze running and the phone plugging in (wired carplay) and it'll charge maybe 5%.
I have to go to Bing. BING to get better search results. How embarrassing.
Claim one: all 3 points lie on the edges. Proof: if one doesn't, one can enlarge the area of the triangle by moving it along one of the edges of the current triangle, away from the other point on that edge, until it hits a border of the square.

Then take one vertex that is not in a square corner yet. The area of the triangle is 1/2 * (length of opposite edge) * (distance from opposite edge to this vertex). This can be written as a linear function of the position of this vertex along the square edge it is on. Thus over all positions of the vertex on this square-edge, the area either is always the same (if the opposite triangle edge is parallel to this square-edge), or the area is maximised by putting this vertex in a square corner.

Repeat this process three times. Conclusion: the obvious half-square triangle has maximal area (even if it is not unique with that property), so the maximal area is half the square's area.
Didn't an infamous CEO say similar about the 'missing' physical keyboard and not being a good business device?

I doubt they would sneak in such a feature without at least mentioning it. I expect this to be even more limited, perhaps just tethered airplay for better resolution.
"It takes several acres of farm to feed one person."

I think this may be a bit high, my math may be wrong.

an acre of lentils for instance should yield about 5-8 quintals (say 500-800kg) of lentils a year. I imagine if you really care about that one acre, you may get higher yields still.

800kg of lentils would be about 2600 kcal/day for a year.

Rice would yield substantially more (but not everyone lives where rice paddies can thrive)

Corn: 1 acre yields 170 bushes / 5000kg, about 50,000 kcal/day.

Now, you need to eat other stuff as well to avoid malnutrition, but if you don't have meat, 1 acre seems to be more than enough per person. If you have to (zombie apocalypse, not because it would be convenient).

Caveat: IANAF, cannot provide any agricultural advice.
COOL! It looks exactly like my iPhone 14 Pro!

Gutted that the iPhone mini is essentially dead. I don't want a phone any bigger.

I'll hang onto my 13 Mini for as long as I can, hopefully they will update the SE to basically be the new Mini.
That only works if both clocks are wrong in opposite directions and so confidence wouldn't be appropriate. Taking the average might work if you've got a whole bunch of clocks and they show a distribution such as a bell curve - that's what's required to become more confident than the single clock owner.
I'm going to use the Personal / Plus pricing instead of Pro, on a f2p mobile game, but let's say you made 200k$ on the first 200k install, but only 20k$ on the next 200k installs (for whatever reason, different market, whale spending 10's of thousands $ skewing the data, etc.), you owe Unity 40k$ and are now in the negative for those new installs when you could've still turned a profit, albeit less.

Of course Unity deserve to be paid and receive revenue, I'm absolutely not against that and if you are on the Pro subscription, it is only a concerned once you reach 1M$ which at this point means the project should be profitable and manage to pay that tax (otherwise maybe that project isn't commercially viable).

But it just feel very harsh for the mega popular indie hit that have very low revenue per user you know... A % of revenue would be better or at the very least only count install that generated revenue or whatever...
I’d agree most people can happily just use WiFi speeds for most tasks, but I’m just shocked that apple would aim to save money or force a product differentiation by using usb2. It’s fairly ancient now.
The "mother nature" sketch was... interesting. And throughout the presentation I thought well it seems this new generation iPhone doesn't bring anything new, it seems like a finished product. So not creating a new one every year would probably be better for the environment than whatever efforts and greenwashing they do engage in.

There exist leather alternatives that use no plastic. ;P
Super weird. I've had iPhones since day 1, but never gotten such an invite. They must know that demand will be weak. I was thinking I'd upgrade my 13 mini, but after seeing this lineup I may stay on the sidelines for now. I expect there will be some sales coming in a couple months, at least through carriers.
Floppies to CDs is more like a comparison of 3.5mm and 6.3mm, because they both do the same thing but with different form factors and different advantages. Wireless audio performs the same base task as wired but it doesn't do the same thing.

I'm at roughly 2 years, and I totally agree. If you make the friction to create a note high, you won't write anything down. I find tags sometimes helpful, but the only structure I really stick to is to create a daily note every day and start writing down what I need to do. It replaces a previous habit of creating a YYYYMMDD.txt file in Vim.

I sometimes organize book/paper notes in a specific folder, mostly to keep things separated out from the daily notes.

> Llama 7B wasn't up to the task fyi, producing very poor translations.

From what I've read and personally experimented with, none of the Llama 2 models are well-suited to translation in particular (they were mainly trained on English data). Still, there are a number of tasks that they're really good at if fine-tuned correctly, such as classification and data extraction.

> I believe that OpenAI priced GPT-3.5 aggressively cheap in order to make it a non-brainer to rely on them rather than relying on other vendors (even open source models).

I think you're definitely right about that, and in most cases just using GPT 3.5 for one-off tasks makes the most sense. I think when you get into production workflows that scale, that's when using a small fine-tuned models starts making more sense. You can drop the system prompt and get data in the format you'd expect it in, and train on GPT-4's output to sometimes get better accuracy than 3.5 would give you right off the bat. And keep in mind, while you can do the same thing with a fine-tuned 3.5 model, it's going to cost 8x the base 3.5 price per token.

As someone who's been using Django for the past 12 years in apps big and small, it blows my mind the trends towards microframeworks and minimalist frameworks that are objectively less productive in pretty much every metric.

Sometimes it feel like a minor superpower in just how much more productive it is over pretty much everything, especially in the early stages of development.

Even later on things like working auth and permission systems and API frameworks are huge timesavers.

Proof that we are a fad-driven industry.
USB-C support was the worst kept secret in the world, so I hope you were anticipating it when you made your purchase.
As far as I know, laws exist because there are people in the world who are so clueless or twisted they need to be prevented from doing blatantly stupid things that harm others by force, and apparently Apple is so stupid they can't just play fair and respect your right to repair (take it to us so we can overcharge you, you damn well aint fixin it yourself or else youll break it you idiot lol!!!!), or right to own one charger for all your technology (please invest in our outdated charging standard that only made sense back when our competitors used those god-awful micro USB cables with the two teeth of death), or your right to own the headphones you'd like (buy our $150 wireless earbuds that are even more difficult to repair than our phones because headphones that didn't need batteries and were powered by two wires that worked on anything made after the 80's were ACTUALLY polluting the Earth, you could technically use those if you buy our overpriced adapter, but you're literally polluting the planet you psycho!). Their excuses for doing these things make no sense, and either go back to greenwashing, planned obsolescence or walled garden locking.

I don't blame folks for buying Apple, the software is great I'm sure (I personally hate it, but I use Windows XP with the classic theme and oldschool WinAmp almost every day so to each their own) and I respect the people who enjoy it, but everybody needs to play by the rules, and when Apple is clearly not with their hardware, f*cking people over and lying about it, maybe we do need laws to keep them in check, because Timmy Apple isn't making me buy an iPhone for my whole family because they won't implement RCS.
I get your perspective, but everybody has their own risk assessment and comfort, and yours is no more necessarily right than his :).

Some people still wear masks, some people still take booster shots, some people people still wash their hands, some people sneeze into elbows, some people stay inside, etc. Others may not do some or any of those things.

"Accept new risk" and "this is the new normal" is as validly executed by him as by yourself. (Also, honestly, wearing a mask in public may not be as life changing/limiting as it seems. I know people who haven't stopped complaining about seatbelts for 3 decades now, but it's a habit that doesn't bother me :).

Removal of the jack dramatically downgraded the quality if you care about it, wireless protocols are simply no match for high end audio. Suddenly ultra cheap phones sounded properly better.

Of course marketing sold it as benefit, which for some it was since they are ok with average quality. Considering thick brick that current iphones are for quite some time, space taken by port was never the issue, unlike stated originally as reason for removal.
