> For the average consumer this is great and encourages sustainable reuse of the core materials throughout the iPhone lifecycle and generally means there is no good reason for iPhones to bloat up landfills or anything.

But they do though.

A lot of this stuff is corporate PR. For example, recycling aluminum is the default -- it costs less than mining it. You don't get credit for that, it's saving you money and you were going to do it anyway. And the reason it's so cheap is that you can source it from things that are basically pure aluminum, like aluminum cans, even though they're then making something out of it that has to go through a complicated process to separate the diverse materials from each other again.

They have a recycling program for their old devices, but to use it you have to buy a new one. And there's a reason for that -- it's not otherwise cost effective to do it. It's a promotion to drive new sales, because the process is complicated and inefficient.

Because they're trying to turn the device back into raw materials after gluing and soldering them all together. Which is why they go into the landfill unless someone is subsidizing it.

Whereas the best way to "recycle" a piece of electronics is to continue using it as a piece of electronics. Allow the memory or storage to be upgraded to extend its usable life. Have modular parts to minimize the materials necessary to replace before it can go back into service after being damaged, and minimize the cost of such repairs to increase the number of repairs that are economical before a new device has to be manufactured.
It's a strange thing that purescript is not more prevalent than it is.

It's got lots of development activity, and a huge package library, not to mention interop with JavaScript as well.

My guess is that Haskell already takes all the air out of the (albeit small) FP room.
In Excel have you tried selecting a row and select the Text or the Number type from the ribbon "Types" drop-down (oddly named the "Number" section of the Home ribbon tab because it was classically the "Number" tab of the Format Cells dialog, which still exists if you click the expando button on the ribbon section)? (I find it easier to select columns and set types by columns, but I don't know what your spreadsheets look like.) It doesn't "lock" the type and an editor can still change the type for an individual cell, but you can still set (and save) better default expectations.

(Text is the safe string format that isn't as "magic" as General, the default. It's also the type you get if you use the " prefix in General.)

It's interesting to note here that the weird "magic" of Excel's default General "type" is pretty directly VisiCalc's fault because they had similar types but wanted to keep entry "simple" and decided to just guess types as people wrote cells with a handful of special character prefixes to override types. That legacy will likely forever live on. Excel could name General "VisiCalc Backward Compatibility" and it wouldn't entirely be wrong.

Just one now. Oregon just starting allowing it last month so New Jersey is the only one left.
This, to me, feels like the most important comment on the page! It is great to develop a sweet new offering, but if one of the main selling points of your product is longevity, repair-ability, and long-term support, then I don't want to hear about all the Fairphone fans jumping up to by the next gen. I want a phone that folks are happy to stick with for years!

As a side note, for years I used a Nexus 6. Great phone (the battery was getting sketchy, but the rest of the hardware held up well for 7 years of use)! With LineageOS, I was getting a steady stream of software updates. I was finally forced off of the phone when they killed the 3G networks here in the USA (and apparently the Nexus 6 did not support VoLTE....).
I briefly ran an IPFS node, I believe working towards the same project that you are discussing. It ate my home network: drove my packet loss into the 10% range and somehow convinced my core switch (a Brocade ICX6610) to send all traffic to every port. When I saw every port on my upstairs switch blinking like crazy and tcpdump showed traffic intended for a downstairs server arriving at my upstairs workstation, I pulled the plug and told free he was on his own.
I meant a BASIC interpreter for the Altair, but HN won't let me edit post. There's no doubt that Gates is a capable programmer.

Microsoft was successful for a reason. They were much faster, and better than other computers. They demolished the personal computer market for decades.
It's FREE during beta phase. Try it out and share your feedback.
Yeah, ordered one relatively early and have been waiting a long time. Wish these new platform schedules were better aligned to the school year. :-/

Been wanting to get away from Intel for a while but seeing how much better the gen 13 iCPUs battery life is, sort of reconsidering. Must have finally found a way to reduce power draw.

The reduction in port flexibility partially negates the whole idea, which was a bit of a gimmick in the first place. Oh well, at least the ports are protected from damage.

Linux support is often good but AFAIK they still don't ship it from the factory, making it second-class for regular folks.

2023 and still no mention of ECC RAM! Still not even an option!

All in all I like our Frameworks but the company and products still need to grow a bit.
Oh, it's strange to me too! I curse every time I accidentally hit that setting and my computer seems possessed :)

It appears there's a few keyboard layouts and language options:

French (Canada) - Canadian French

French (Canada) - Canadian Multilingual Standard

French (France)

etc

And then I think it intersects with what keyboard you actually have.

Some of these layouts maybe are designed to enable you to type in French characters on a non-French keyboard? Not sure.

For that price you also get 4x the storage of the cheapest iPhone SE. For comparable storage the iPhone is €749

Comparing the cheapest iPhone with the FP5, the latter is still cheaper per year, even if I never have to replace anything (such as the battery)

I also think the quirks/cheeky stuff is a little too much. But I will say I have no desire to go back to any other browser. The side bar, pinning, spaces, favorites have revolutionized the way I use the internet. I think this is the most well thought out product I've seen in years, I would be very sad to not see them survive.

> you lose access to most of the standard library

That's simply not true. Only one of the algorithms in std.algorithm, for example, uses the GC.

The GC also enables much better compile time function execution.
Precisely. And when everyone knows that the commercial lifeblood of a town is so hinged on multiple factors outside people's control, well... Might as well get those underpants while they're still in town, right? If you don't steal them and then Walmart pulls up stakes next month anyway because it makes more sense to invest in Tallahassee than your poor neck of the woods, you'll just feel like a sucker.
I think most corps allows known bots. To allow all traffic to a major site is not possible.

The problem is bigger the other way around I would say. That Google, AWS, Azure and so on use the same AS numbers for private and public cloud. It is not easy to detect if it really is the Google bot or some low-lifes performing DOS-attacks from GCP. Many attacks, especially state sponsored attacks, comes from trusted clouds.
Thanks, looking forward to it
^ this is exactly how it works :)
> The first [caveat] is that lzbench isn’t able to compress an entire directory like tar , so I opted to use lib/npm.js for this test.

As opposed to... just using the npm-9.7.1.tar file that the other tests were just using (sorta barely internally to tar, but I don't think tar does any fancy streaming or anything if you're passing something via --use-compress-program, certainly nothing that would skew the results more than replacing all of npm.tar with just npm.js.)

In my local install, npm.tar is 25MB. npm.js is 16KB. It may not change the final outcome, but the data in the article do not support the conclusion. I would strongly suggest tarring up the npm directory and rerunning lzbench.
OK, that's cool, but those fonts are all terrible. The serifs are all different sizes and shapes, sometimes on the same letter. The kerning looks like a random walk. The stroke widths are all over the place, and/or the hinting is busted.

Now, that said, it's pretty amazing that this works at all, but it'll take some pretty specific training on a model to get something that can compete with a human made font that's curated for good usability _and_ aesthetics.

Sadly, we'll also probably see adoption of these kinds of fonts (along with graphic design, illustration, songwriting, screenwriting, etc)... because "meh, good enough" combined with some Dunning-Kruger.

TL;DR: Thanks, I hate it.

Hard to tell since there is zero documentation in regard to models.
Thanks for the reply. That clears up a lot!
I'd agree if last commit was 2 years ago.
considering the repo doesn't contain a cc_binary build rule, I'm inclined to believe there's no demo, the easiest way to get started (if you want to play around from scratch) would be to add a cc_binary, point that to a main.cpp file which depends on the library targets you want, e.g "//in_memory/clustering:graph" and ensure there's sufficient visibility from the targets.
That was pretty cool! Fascinating...

I thought most of the regulatory efforts were focused on training runs getting bigger and bigger rather than generation with existing models. Is there regulation you’re aware of around use of models?
last time I checked (several years ago), rbash is full of security holes, and while those may have been patched now I really would not trust it to lock down a privileged shell session.
My experience has been that teaching MBAs SQL just leads to MBAs desiring to execute Access-designed SQL statements (with horrifying execution plans) on Production database servers and expect to see the results in Access. That way lies its own madness.
When I apply for a job it takes me at least an hour if not more. I adopt my resumé, write the motivation letter. If I spend less then 15 minutes it means I'm doing it as a requirement from the social benefits agency, for a job that I don't want.

Exactly! The devcontainer-cli that can be installed using vscode contains a `open` utility that opens it as well. But the one available in package managers and npm does not have this, because they want this to be IDE-independent. It is also quite slow and requires node.
50%? I doubt that, unless your dictionary is literally the top NPM packages, in which case you're not saving much bandwidth by sending them all in advance...

Maybe a small dictionary would save you 20% though.
FWIW, as a Realtor: The NAR and related state / local associations should go pound sand for a lot of reasons. I am forced to pay them a lot of money each year, for almost no benefit to my business or my clients. The code of ethics is probably their single greatest contribution to the public, but without state and local agencies willing to punish bad agent behavior, it's toothless. Many of the recent lawsuits over commissions and agency where the NAR has been a party have not been to the benefit of the general public, and the NAR has been absolutely weak in its defense of both the public AND realtors.

All that said - Redfin can also go pound sand. They exploit information asymmetry where the public doesn't understand real estate services and think Redfin et al are somehow standing up to big bad exploitative realtors. Look man - the new boss is the same as the old boss and Redfin et al are not doing you any good. Find a good agent you trust in your local market, or go your own way if you think you can do better.
It's actually a very common class of techniques. Carbon-14 dating relies on the ratios of carbon atoms, and is widely used for dating younger stuff. However, its relatively short half life means that for older stuff archeologists need to rely on other elements rarely found in organic materials like the uranium-lead decay path or in this case strontium.
It looks like it's made of quality materials (because it is), if anyone looks it up they can see that it isn't a cheap device, if anyone asks you about it you can earn status points by telling them how much you care about the environment etc.
> Data from the National Science Foundation shows that only 20 percent of computer science undergraduate degrees in the U.S. are given to women

Using "given to" instead of "earned by" is an interesting word choice. Also interesting they don't discuss other demographic elements than male vs female. The reddit post they mentioned included discussion that the conference was largely made up of H1B candidates.
That's for the new stuff that isn't designed to be repaired.

My circa 1990s freezer broke a couple years ago. First guy quoted us "not worth repairing". Second guy did the job for two hours of $100/hr labor and a $60 part. Told us that if it were a modern device it wouldn't have been worth it because of the labor, but the freezer was old enough that everything that can break was designed to be easily and quickly repaired.

What I mean with signal for the tether is that in the example of watching stuff on an iPad in the car, you'll probably be in places where there is no signal and then it doesn't matter if the chip is in the iPad or in your phone – you still can't get signal.

But I'm probably not the intended user for these self hosted media servers. I don't watch a ton of stuff, and what I watch is generally on YouTube.
This is great insight. Taking a more "technical" approach has its tradeoffs but so far, our customer discovery points to this being a tangible approach to try for enterprise use cases. We find that a lot of enterprises assign engineers to build in Superblocks but rather than a team of 100 engineers building out a DIY solution, they can reduce it to only a handful.

I am excited to experiment with in-product guidance and a/b test copy so that we can make things just as intuitive for those who may not be as technical.
AI Girlfriend platform slowly turning into AI Boyfriend platform
I starting driving in 1990 - back then there was no pay at the pump so the norm everywhere was to pump gas then go inside and wait in line to pay. You knew you were in a bad neighborhood if you had to pay for your gas before you pumped it (you probably already knew you were in a bad neighborhood, but this confirmed it). About 15 years ago stations started to realize that nearly everyone was paying at the pump even if they were going to come inside for something else - which made it much more likely anyone not paying at the pump was trying to steel gasoline and so they went to pay first as few were inconvenienced.

I do not miss at all standing in line behind someone who couldn't figure out which lottery ticket they wanted to buy.
To be fair, the way legal system works means if a lawyer isn’t trying to ‘win’ your case, they’re not being a good lawyer - the assumption your client is innocent and you need to defend them is kinda fundamental.

How morality informs the law and the ways lawyers should behave (i.e, should they phone it in/decline the case in if they disagree ethically) is interesting but more difficult as a topic

Certainly harder for NASA to build in space, but not any harder for this author to build in a computer :-D

Good point though:

> Regarding the dimensions, I wanted to make the structure as large as possible, while still getting a clear visual sense of the curvature in the interiors. That is how I ended up with the 450-meter radius and 1 RPM spin rate.

So it seems like he wanted to put specific constraints on the size/geometry and worked backwards from there.

Agree, sounds like some kind of poorly-protected function has been discovered that's putting the pump into a "maintenance" or "test" mode where it will dispense fuel without a prepay having been completed.

This is not true. Maybe a PhD student doesn't care much (or doesn't know), but we care deeply about software performance at CERN. I've worked myself on optimizations in detector simulation and data analysis software (Geant4 and ROOT) for a few years. Later in this decade, when HL-LHC comes online, the only way to be able to cope with the 10x increase in data rate from experiments and a matching increase in simulation requirements will be to optimize as much as we can the software we have, because we will not have the money to just buy 10x the hardware we have now.
2.5 is fine, but 10 feels incredibly long when half the time companies don't even both emailing back a rejection. Gives the thought "since they probably won't even see it, why don't I skip the 10 and apply to 4 2.5s?".

5ms is 200 cycles per second. 3600 seconds in an hour. 0.72 million writes per hour. Almost 40 million if I start it on Friday evening and stop it on Monday morning

10 million is 14 hours. It takes longer than that to prepare your documentation. Something is rotten in Denmark. A skeptic could very, very reasonably assume that cherry-picking is going on here, and that 10m to degradation isn't far off from the truth.
Usually I hate enshittification but this could actually be a good use for it.
Those scientific theories are moreso models. Models that get progressively less wrong.

Garbage collection is wrong to the degree that it leads to memory unsafety or memory leaks that are not caused by humans. But using more memory is not a “leak” because it has nothing to do with the guarantees.

> Google already knows how to make great search engine. It is just 'choosing' not to, so it can make more money from advertisers.

I would guess they are trying to do both. I'm assuming the search team is 1000s of people with many of them trying to improve it.

I think part of the reason search has gotten bad (once you get past the ads) is the SEO spammers. I use DuckDuckGo and it has pretty much the same problem of shitty websites with copied content clogging up the search engine. The more zeroed in I am on some of my searches the more duplicate websites with fucked urls comes into play.
They spend a lot on non special ed students with mediocre results. The only thing that matters is selection. Not money.

> I'm just talking about house flipping

Realtor here - if you are house flipping, you are in a unique category and not really a member of the general public. You should either get your real estate license (if you believe you are able and willing to market property yourself) or you should find a dedicated agent partner with whom you have a negotiated rate. But also consider that as an agent, my out of pocket costs to market your example property could easily be $1000, plus my brokerage (assuming I'm affiliated and it isn't my own brokerage) also is taking their 40%+ cut of my commission, so I'm not making nearly as much as you think -- which is why especially on a house priced at the lower end of the spectrum I need to keep my commission % higher.
