I find that day-based medication organizers don't work when I have a non-24-hour sleep schedule. I ended up writing down dates and times of doses on a paper notebook, because pill planner apps aren't built for non-24 schedules either, the one I found on F-Droid didn't record times which are useful for optimally spacing medication, and I kept forgetting to either take or record medications in my locked phone.
"The future" and "the past" have very useful and well defined meanings in SR. The key insight is that they are only meaningful locally, not at the level of the entire universe as it is assumed in Newtonian mechanics.

Every possible observer has a clear view of their own past and their own future. As long as two observers are a long distance from each other, they may disagree on the order in which events that happen far away from each of them happen.

But, they will never disagree on the order in which events that are close to either of them happened. And, if they ever meet, they will have a shared notion of what is in the past and what is in the future compared to the moment of their meeting (that is, any event that is in the future compared to their meeting for one of them is also in the future after their meeting for the other).

There was a story from the book Skunk Works that the system was sensitive enough that it occasionally locked onto tiny holes in the roofs of hangars.

The crazy thing about this system too is that, like everything on the SR-71, it was done on a shoestring budget (relatively) and crazy fast. So a navigation system like this was done as a necessary workaround to traditional navigation of the time.

Carmack's interview with Lex Fridman was one of the things that got me excided about programming again after a deep burnout. But the part where he suddenly gets itritated at a mere mention of AI safety sent chills down my spine. I hope he changed his attitude since. And if not, I hope he fails.

Not exactly. The SR-71 system had an expected position of the star, and then it would mechanically scan the telescope in a rectangular spiral scan pattern with a single pixel photodetector until it found a star with the expected brightness. This could take up to 22 minutes from a semi-cold start (roughly, you know your heading within 3 degrees, and your position within 1 degree lat/lon). [1] Once the system had shot a couple of stars and the IMU was dialed in, it could do an update in about 30 sec.

The Trident I used a Vidicon tube (what they used to use for TV cameras before CCDs were invented) [2] The Trident approach was to shoot a single star once in the flight.

The Trident II uses a CCD. The first version of the guidance system for that missile (The Draper Mark 6) used a 90x90 CCD [3]. That has been replaced with the Mark 6 Mod 1, which they say has increased resolution but they don't give a figure [4]

In all the times I've been forced to use Kafka, I have never seen single digit millisecond latency.

If you need fast response Kafka is a bad choice.

If you are okay going to multiple digits of milliseconds then there are simpler solutions.

The only reason to use Kafka is the ability to guarantee order. For everything else it's second place at best.

I never bring my smartphone outside. It stops location tracking. It prevents me from losing or getting it stolen.
It really is that bad now.

I recently got a new phone to replace my Pixel 3 that's no longer receiving updates, and it took days to sort out all the "you must verify this device from your old device" bullshit. These apps are essential to banking, and also to my workplace (I had to call the IT department from one of my devices that thankfully didn't yet have an expired session).

And this is when I HAVE my old device. Imagine the chaos if my old device were lost or broken? Or if google suddenly decided to lock my account?

What do I use my phone for? Communication (Signal, Threema), 2fa, and work, and nothing else. And it's a disaster waiting to happen.

Because I prefer a seperate client instead of every messaging protocol to rely on a browser or Electron.

Because it's faster to have it auto-open on desktop than to log in (with 2FA) via a browser every time I reboot.

Because I like having a local copy of my email.

Because it's more pleasant to use multiple accounts with a single, consistant UI.

Because I have money for more RAM and compute, but Thunderbird (or other clients) are typically lighter in my experience, so I'll use my RAM or cash for something else.

I believe we are at a juncture in human history where technological progress is so fast that it will eclipse any natural evolution that would normally occur. On a 250-million-year scale, we're nearing breakthroughs in halting aging, manipulating DNA on demand, printing body parts, and potentially even achieving mind uploading. Natural selection will soon have run its course for our species. We will keep evolving but it won't be driven by random DNA replication errors: it will be driven by technology and culture. I agree however that "they" will be completely unrecognizable to the modern us.

> because there is an infinite quantity of irrational numbers between any two given rational numbers

Indeed, you've grasped the core of it. There's no rule you can write for irrational numbers such that "b is the next number after a", because there are infinitely many numbers between a and b that you'd be missing. You can't count them, i.e. you can't map them to integers.

Yes. I am not an expert but from what I understand, the reason is because governments are inefficient and cough (sometimes get corrupt). Therefor the government funds the healthcare insurance companies to take care of the citizens. They do profit from other aspects so that always clashes with the non-profit side. As usual, everything in Israel is a mishmash of interests but it works for the most part. For example, they provide additional insurance (like the premiums I mentioned in the previous post) and pseudo care like acupuncture, horse riding etc... That is also subsidized if a doctor prescribe it. For example, horse riding for autisim or ADHD etc...

Not to mention the they document everything digitally and I mean everything. That gave Israel the advantage to be the first to get the immunization in COVID since Israel made a deal to provide that health digital histories for the pharmaceutical companies for further research. That was a calculated risk, but seems like it payed off...

> You either need to hire a patent lawyer or be prepared to pay plaintiff's attorney and court costs in the worst case that a patent owner sues you and doesn't want to make a licensing deal.

That isn't what I saw...

Being sued by a patent owner, if they are a non-practicing entity, is par for the course, that is often their opening negotiation move. (How do I know you ask? I got sued by one.). The suit is a negotiating tactic to ensure that if you don't settle via negotiation (which is preferred, it is cheaper for the patent owner), the case will force you to. In the case I saw, the non-practicing entity only went after companies that were large enough to get some meaty licensing revenue and they ignored all the small fry.

No patent owner that I can think of "doesn't want to make a licensing deal." In fact, it is a legal requirement that patent owners license their tech for a "reasonable fee", although that can mean many different things.

> Moderate funding of this risk would be sufficient. If you don't have this initial money but you're confident that you will find certain profit, maybe take a loan?

If he has no money now, why invest in patent advice? The patent owner likely won't sue him because you can not get blood from a stone.

Making a new company is a crap shoot. His success isn't assured at all. Why pay money now because of a remote possibility in the future? When instead he could just deal with that risk in the future?
This is one of the various reasons why I dislike the encroaching mandatory 2FA.

Mind you, I have no plans of spending days without a smartphone, and maybe I'll never want to do that, but I don't like the way in which 2FA is making it outright impossible. It should be my own business whether I want a phone or not, and now it's becoming outright mandatory to interact with society (I can't even log into my workplace without 2FA). Another freedom that vanishes.

If you slip 4 or 5 years around now the tech barely changes. You can't really tell much the difference between a game delivered in 2018 and 2023, especially if some polish is later added.

Whereas back in 1998, there is absolute night and day between 1994 tech (DOOM) and 1998 tech (Quake 2), to the point where the latter makes the former look ancient and almost unplayable in comparison.

Keeping in mind also that tech moved so fast that "serious" PC gamers would look to upgrade their PC on a much quicker cycle, every couple of years was a game-changing upgrade such as Pentium chips or DDR RAM, or some other new tech that just blew away the previous PC generation.

Games companies didn't have the luxury to slip years and still deliver on what they started, and any "engine change" would have been far more impactful against that background, and also keep in mind that "changing engine" back then meant from scratch engines not swapping, say, between Unity and Unreal or some other off the shelf stuff.

I think you are partly right. Quantum mechanics and general relativity are incomplete rather than wrong. I don’t think either has been falsified, it’s more that they are just useless in specific cases.

This is in contrast with Newtonian mechanics, which implies Galilean transformation when changing reference frames, which looks right at our usual scales, but is plainly wrong in the general case.

However, the things you mention are not even wrong. As in, they are not falsifiable so you cannot say whether they are right or wrong in theory.
