I know some people that lost a ton of money on this. It was definitely one of the weirdest things I've seen someone get absolutely convinced of. Any evidence that was contrary to what they already believed was more proof in their eyes to what they believed. Because it was just the "bad guy" trying to beat them.

These are seemingly intelligent people that would recognize this same problem in other peoples conspiracy theories and willingly ignorant beliefs.

At this point what is there to possibly do? It doesn't seem like a good idea to bring it up at this point and be like "I told you so" and just get them mad. I hope they have recognized their mistake by now on their own.
I would love to see a USB port that can withstand public transit use. Just as a design exercise that would be fascinating.
> IMO, this is also why we have "computer science"... as if computers were found in nature and we were trying to 'reverse engineer' how they are made; which is ridiculous!

"computer science" does not contain the words "computer" in many languages
Jonathan Haidt has done a great job advocating this problem and is writing a book coming out this next year called "The Anxious Generation":

This isn't something that can be solved with "better tech". It is something that is solved with "less tech" or "no tech" entirely.

I wrote a book on this topic too as a millennial who grew up as one of the first waves of smartphones and social media users. I firmly believe it contributed to mental health challenges. We need to find a point where we say we've had "enough".
Isn't this like saying how can we move something one millimeter if our fingers are bigger than one millimeter?
A lot of this is ideological difference, which is to be expected, but let's take one concrete thing we can check here:

> The transaction fee on the Bitcoin network is definitely not hundreds or thousands of dollars. Look up any fee estimator and the exchange rate.

From the chart you posted, the current fee is roughly 2 BTC, which maps to $54,000. So that's thousands of dollars. When the video was published in January 21, 2022, the transaction fee was about the same, but 2 BTC cost about $70,000. So that's thousands of dollars.

At its peak in April 2021, the transaction fee was ~60BTC, with a BTC selling for $60,000. So that's 60BTC * $60,000 = $3.6 million. So I guess Dan was wrong. Transaction fees on popular chains can range into the millions of dollars.
Agree, but there's no political will and even if there was, it would take decades.
In other words: sooner or later every bit of synthetic rubber that is part of the tire when it leaves the factory and that isn't part of the tire when it goes to wherever those things go at EOL will eventually be washed away by rain. And then it either becomes inland sediment or make its way into the oceans.
But that is absurd! The titles are arbitrarily given
This is the first thing I thought of too. Those travel pillows don't work for me at all because I never feel like I'm "reclining". Out of a sense of empathy (as a person tall enough to feel incredibly cramped in airplane seats), I only put my seat back if the flight is longer than 5 hours (i.e. international travel). The only way I'm able to sleep is by resting my arms/head on the tray table. A travel version of this would be a game changer. The only drawback is if you really pass out and start drooling :)

The point is that it allows something it is not designed for. I don't think anyone is against it because it hurt their political party, the cat is out of the bag on that front anyway.
> They have a stupid off-by-one bug in the middle of their bass enhancer AND NOBODY NOTICED NOR FIXED IT IN OVER A YEAR.

The mocking tone of this post is really not necessary. An engineer made probably one of the most common coding errors that nobody noticed because real world impact is minor to non existent. The devs should be trying to build a relationship with Apple, not mocking then each time they find a minor bug.
“Within the legal framework” is one of those qualifiers I mentioned. Like I said, I’m not familiar with the details in the SK case.

Is fairly common that, if you as an individual are doing something that poses a risk to other people, society will step in to attempt to change your behavior. You can argue that it is “wrong” for society to do that, of course.
> Was it really that laughable?

Perhaps laughable is a stretch. I remember aether as an example of the scientific method working in a high school class. We had a theory, it seemed reasonable, it fit observations, and then we disproved it. This is good.

The laughable part of my memory probably comes from being 15 when I learned about this and the whole class thinking “wow look at those fancy scientists, they didn’t even know basic things we all learn in middle school! ha ha”. Dumb kids be like that sometimes :)

BUT aether was also used as an example of failing Occam’s razor. It added weird unmeasurable just-so variables/explanations to existing theories so they could expand to fit new measurements. This rarely leads to a theory that stands the test of time.

In this way dark matter, in my lay-person view, feels similar. We don’t know what’s going on, so we say it’s gotta be some new “thing” that just happens to be invisible and undetectable except by how it just happens to make our existing models/math/explanations work. That seems fishy to me as a non-expert. Kinda like when an engineer says “i’ve tried everything, it’s gotta be a compiler bug” … it usually isn’t a compiler bug.

edit: Point is that when things don't fit together, just adding more <stuff> rarely works long-term. You need a new model. And personally I'm excited to see what we think about dark matter in 20 years.
> as a form of taxation to pay for roads

at least in the US, and i believe most countries, gas taxes haven't really paid for roads for a long time. Gas taxes go into the general fund, and road maintenance and construction comes out of the general fund, but gas taxes cover less than half the cost of roads.
As long as there is even a tiny patch of living stuff somewhere on the planet, things living on it will slowly evolve and take over everything else. Sure, it's a slow process and we will not live to see it, but I find it pretty arrogant to think that we are actually capable of completely ending all life on earth. We are not; only our own lives.

Like caprock says, e5 are the best tradeoff for model size/speed of embedding for the results you get, they will be great at semantic search etc in English.

Possibly consider cross-encoding for semantic search depending on your use case, but whenever cross-encoding is useful, generative embeddings like Ada are usually much better... There used to be embeddings useful for things like classifying sentences are entailing one another, whether a sentence was complete, but these are basically completely supplanted these days.

Do consider the all-mini type embeddings (default in sentence transformer) for speed or on-device use. They are half the size (and therefore less than half the computing for distance functions) so they are faster for large searches etc, which is useful if you run your own stuff with vector stores rather than a service.
I'd like to know why you think cars are not inherently better as it seems very obvious that they are. That is why people overwhelmingly prefer to use them.
30 years ago, I wasn't playing 100-hour games because they were shorter. Final Fantasy IV (or II as we called it back then) was 30-40 hours, and we thought that was huge.
The Windows task bar auto-hide feature has been broken (spontaneously decides to quit hiding, but doesn't adjust the desktop viewport accordingly, so the bottom of any app window is obscured by the errant taskbar), since its first beta in 1994.
I remember when we had a dedicated nap room at work, it was really nice and a ten min nap would greatly improve my productivity for the 2nd half of the day.

At one point the new VP of Eng, who was fairly old, joked that "I should be the only one taking naps."

They later put pingpong etc in the room and turned the lights back on.

Stupid.

Anyway always happy to see companies embracing naps. Much better than constant caffeine.
It's hard for me to understand how noticeable this actually is. In the video where he plays samples from an affected and unaffected machine, I can hear there's a difference, but I couldn't tell you which one is correct. It sounds like it could just be normal differences in speakers between the two models.

If that's the best example of the bug, then probably no one has caught it because it doesn't really matter.

Also, the tone of the post comes off as petty and immature, regardless.
What is KDE Connect? Which incidentally runs equally well on other desktops and even windows.

https://userbase.kde.org/KDEConnect

Also gsconnect can provide integration with gnome.

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1319/gsconnect/

KDE Connect is a project that enables all your devices to communicate with each other. Here are a few things KDE Connect can do:

Receive your phone notifications on your desktop computer and reply to messages

Control music playing on your desktop from your phone

Use your phone as a remote control for your desktop

Run predefined commands on your PC from connected devices. See the list of example commands for more details.

Check your phones battery level from the desktop

Ring your phone to help finding it

Share files and links between devices

Browse your phone from the desktop

Control the desktop's volume from the phone

Also you can read and reply to messages on your Android phone by navigating to messages.google.com without installing anything

Firefox and I presume chrome let you push tabs from one machine to the other or with forefox simply pull up a list of tabs currently open on the other device.

Unified remote also gives you a great remote for our multimedia pc.

Basically every email service abd chat app has good integration between desktop and phone.

Mpd and mafa lets me easily listen to my music

Calibre and calibre companion let's me easily sync my books

Why should Apple be forced to write software for competing platforms?
I've been hearing this a lot, and I actually think you have the company's logic backward. (For what it's worth, I'm pro-WFH, and I think a lot of circles don't square with the rhetoric from my company regarding RTO, but hear me out.)

The lease is locked in. From the company's perspective, the building is now free, except for marginal costs per employee that shows up. So the only remaining math for the company to consider is, are the benefits that the company gains from an onsite employee greater than the $2/day it costs to provide coffee and toilet paper? Remember, the company is happy to outsource the cost of commuting to employees, and only cares about the value of the building if they own it. And they have great institutional difficulty in weighing intangible employee satisfaction against other perceived gains for the company.

Under this logic, I think it's easy to see why management, acting in the company's best interest, is pushing RTO so hard. If it costs employees $10/day but makes the company $3, that's free money.
This seems like a needlessly aggressive and poor take. Its a cool bug that they discovered; but going into "Apple's audio engineering team is, at least on some level, incompetent (or incompetently run; I'm not blaming the employees here, but rather the organization)" is just unproductively mean.

"and obvious in a sine sweep frequency response test, which is the most basic test you can run end-to-end on a completed audio system to ensure it is performing properly. So they didn't even run that." The one conclusion you can draw, outside looking in, is: whatever tests they ran resulted in the creation of the best sounding speakers on any device in its class. That doesn't scream incompetence to me; it screams "We tested this against songs people will actually listen to, not 300hz sine waves."

I'm willing to concede that perhaps I only know the smartest, most informed people on this planet, but I don't know a single person who is likely to do this. In fact, I've noticed a negative correlation between "uneducated Luddite" and "trusts what the computer says".

"Dr. Google" has been around for quite a while now, with much of the same criticism. Notably, the whole ivermectin debate took place without the help of AI. On the other hand, patient education is a big part of improving outcomes.

Anecdotally, "improve access to information" and "improve literacy" seem to appear far more frequently than calls to ban Google from displaying results about healthcare or restricting access to only licensed professionals - at least in content from healthcare professionals and organizations.

An important thing you can do to help is to identify these people in your life and tell them not to blindly trust what the computer tells them, because sometimes the computer is wrong. You'll be doing them an invaluable service, even if they think you're being a condescending jerk.

A dictionary would suffice.

"Plastic" is a general term that covers any polymer-based material. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic

Tires are made of synthetic elastomers which are all polymers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_rubber

Elasticity has no bearing on whether something is a plastic or not, and any attempt to use it as a distinction would be pointlessly arbitrary. Silicone is certainly a polymer...
I’m pretty sure this violates Apple’s App Store policies, but they seem to not care. Apple even sometimes abuses their notifications to promote new App Store releases and other Apple services.
Sorry, this is incorrect. Non-repudiation is undesirable for email senders. It is desirable in some other systems, such as notarization and the signing of contracts.

... Except for the times when it makes things worse.
My kid (soon to be 11 years old) has this problem and is (almost) driving me nuts. There are three causes of this:

1) He's dumb. Will click and install on any crap he comes by.

2) He doesn't know to operate his phone. Every now and then I take his phone and turn off notifications for the apps I saw that popped them.

#3: This one's mysterious to me as well. Somehow they (the notifications) get re-enabled back. I'm disabling notifications (to the best of my knowledge, navigating arcane settings paths), they disappear for some time then after a while, start popping again. No app ever asked me "I noticed you turned off notifications ... ahem, do you want them turned back on?". No, they just turn it back automatically ... when I navigate back to the arcane settings path hidden under some 3 to 7 unintuitive menu layers.. the setting's back on. Think "Settings .. Privacy protection .. special permissions ... notification access" ... each of these steps hidden among 10 to 20 other menu options. What chances does a kid have to fight this crap?

I dunno, just using the apps seems to enable them after a while. And it's not just "Malware Disguised As Game XYZ". YouTube, Netflix, Facebook... all these bounce back, on my phone as well. Just seems that not so often as on my kid's and also I disable them back promptly when it happens so it's a manageable level of annoyance.

My kid's phone though ... I call him and he doesn't reply. Why? Coze he turns the sound volume off, just so he can have some peace of mind. Otherwise it's "ping ping ping ping", relentlessly throughout the day and night.

>> From the article: "Half of 11- to 17-year-olds get at least 237 notifications a day" .

That seems about right. It's maddening. Barely manageable as a tech-aware adult, in the hands of a kid, today's phone technology and it's inability to stop this crap it's the incarnation of evil.
Even Google "can't" follow their own rules, and mix transactional and marketing notifications in same channels.
It's been asking me about these and from what it tells me on my phone I don't understand what they are getting at.

But more importantly, how does it differentiate between "Your delivery has arrived" and "this weekend, 10% off all deliveries paid with mastercard from chase banks"
> is it hard for an advanced AI model to differentiate the intention of the prompt and then if it's mature content may be not generate the image?

Or, better, if the prompt has nothing NSFW in it and the generated image triggers a detector for NSFW content, dump and then regen the image with a new seed. Displaying an error message that is basically “We generated something that we think is objectionable, even though your prompt called for nothing like that, so you get no photo” is an idiotic design.

> How long does it take Android manufacturers

Way way too long, but to be fair a huge part of the issue are carriers and their insistence to pack the phones full of bloatware that needs to be tested against each update.

Windows device manufacturers tend to do what Microsoft demands of them.

> How are those Android updates working out compared to iPhones?

Samsung is fairly decent, although I'd be happier if they'd ... consolidate their lineup a bit and instead offer longer availability for spare parts.
Seems like it from a couple studies, for example: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004896972....

Vehicle weight is also a significant factor, so EVs will make this particular problem worse. Still worth the tradeoff, but obviously not using a car at all is the best option.
I use Uber irregularly (when I travel). Every one of those notifications has resulted in me uninstalling the app as it reminds me I still have it on my phone since the last time I travelled.

It may juice their stats, but I've definitely installed competitors apps when I need a taxi in a new place as opposed to just using the app I already have installed.

There's no way to flag spam / marketing.
Uber for example occasionally sends marketing. But you can't really disable notifications.
Instead, they (large companies) should just pay x cent per notification to Apple (not the user, because that would be seen as credit, eliminating the purpose)
