They will backport fixes for SOME issues for SOME phones. The further back you go, the more likely you will be ignored. I do have some sympathy for Apple on the difficulty of supporting old phones etc, but let's be realistic, too:

1. They leave you with a strong impression that all phones and all iOS versions are kept safe by dribbling out a few fixes from time to time for older devices. That's probably worse than on Android, because you think it's safe, but it's not.

2. The whole point of getting your hardware and software from the same place was precisely because then you knew they had a limited number of things they had to support, so it'd work better. If they have too many things to support, then maybe that argument starts to fall apart.
You frequently encounter software that doesn't let you reuse a password that's been used anywhere else? Or just in the same system? I've not seen the former.

ugly is an aesthetic and it communicates, when intentional, a focus on function or simplicity rather than looks. Now to your point, ugly in anything more than a css stylesheet is a little bit moot as it is an aesthetic that remains superficial and does not inform the implementation but only the consumption.
Very cool. Do you then further aggregate and load into a DB or vector store or something?
I hope someone investigates whether 23andMe adjusted user profile preferences or exposed this data through new features instead of assuming users chose to share the information now available in this leak.
At a former employer I hooked up a random Debian box to the corp network. Of course I ran fail2ban, in addition to a host of other lockdown measures. Without fail every morning at the same time some random corp scanner would start hammering on the ports, and fail2ban would kick in and block the scanner. After the default expiration time the rules blocking the scanner would expire, and it would happen again the next morning. This probably continued going on for several weeks or perhaps even months after I left the company.
Genuinely curious but why would people put 2 displays side by side so that your neck would always be bent to a side?

That totally looks like a tiring solution. I never do that but put the main display (which is an external monitor of my laptop) parallel to the keyboard and my laptop to the side so I will be facing forward naturally.
> GCs typically pay the price at the tail end (deallocation, compaction) but have absurdly fast allocators (a handful of instructions)

I don't know how GCs work. Don't they still need to find free memory somehow during allocation? I always thought of GCs as manual memory allocators + automatic deallocations

I've always assumed it is that the trends are damn scary and people don't want to think about them. Most people struggle with financial concepts like (earning >= spending -> good outcomes) and I assume at the root it is some combination of emotional responses that just don't want to tackle the uncertainty of the future.

If you look far enough out, the future is scary. If nothing else eventually we get hit by a meteor. So people generally don't look forward more than a week or few - because it is unpleasant and seems a little pointless. They live with whatever seems like a good idea right now. I just wish they'd let people who are a bit more math-oriented take on budgeting decisions. We're going to be eating consequences that we didn't have to because the US public can't sit down and agree that solvency is more important than whatever distraction came up this electoral cycle.
This apparently worked pretty well for him, as I still remember him primarily as "that guy who hacked PS3". Some people let someone else do the hard technical core, then do all the other easy but boring stuff and claim 100% credit.
The digital signature thing is an extension of the overall document culture prevalent at least in Germany and Eastern Europe (or maybe continental Europe overall?).

From what I saw, their legal and bureaucratic systems are geared to try to authenticate everything via physical means, be it signatures (that are supposed to be unique and not just an expression of intent), wet stamps, or (recently) digital signatures. On the contrary, UK works on trust and its legal systems, so you can (theoretically) sign a large money contract with a cross on a napkin, you can open a bank account with a letter from a "a person of good standing in their community" without ever holding a government issued ID, and you can sign contracts with a simple checkbox.

I really enjoy the latter. It's a bit messier, but also feels more humane.

Honestly the main thing I find killer about Kotlin over Java is its stricter null safety (types do not permit null values unless you mark the type as nullable with a "?" suffix). (I know Java does have the @Nonnull annotation but it's extremely verbose to use much and Java doesn't enforce its use on values that are expected to be non-null, which both greatly diminish its usefulness.) I've been spoiled by languages like Typescript and Rust which have great null safety like Kotlin, and it's very annoying going back to a language without it and questioning whether a null is expected or possible for every single value.
Trust me, my principle focus is on collective action. This is a systemic and regulatory problem, and needs to be addressed at that level. I ... get really tired ... of people who advocate only a personal-action response, or argue that that is sufficient. I disagree strongly with both views.

That said, the systemic approach is going to be a long, slow, and frustrating road.

Keep in mind that all of the surveillance and advertising actually does subsidize the devices, though a key problem seems to be that there are no general market device options available at any price. This ... is a peculiar mode of market failure in the absence of regulation.

Good luck!

> A "double-standard held among the Western public at large" is the conspiracy I'm talking about. You don't need to have any evil puppeteers if your media are obedient to the sufficient extent and if self-proclaimed critical thinking experts are in fact mental gymnastics experts.

If you think the media is "obedient", then yes, you are alleging a conspiracy because it makes you feel smarter and more savvy than you are. A general double-standard is not a conspiracy.

> We only know about Iran's brutal crackdown of late from western NGOs and their thralls. Heck, most of Iranians themselves are likely getting these news from these sources, and not from direct or second order witnesses.

This is such an absurd and kind of morally off thing to say; you're basically acting like certain horrors that are being perpetrated against some people probably aren't happening, and are ignoring any real footage that comes out of Iran.

> Meanwhile, we never seem to hear anything about Saudi Arabia. No crackdowns, no police brutality, no dress code enforcement.

You can hear plenty of negative news about it, but has it occurred to you that the reason why we hear less is because there is less? No, you could not give that notion any credence, because it would rob of you of the superiority you feel from being contrarian and sophomorically cynical.

I don't think geography is subjective. I suggest you google Northern Europe, or read the wikipedia pages for Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, as they all say "a country located in Northern Europe".

Nordic is very different from Northern.
Not sure if this changed recently, but it does that for me. Search for a book (say xyz) and you can click on "Suggest me what to read after xyz" from that book page.
Lolll. That would be the final straw. I would even be motivated enough to move my mom off Windows and deal with that support burden just to get rid of it. #DontDoIt
A bit nitpicking. I do not think it is quite right to say that current large language models learn, we infuse them with knowledge. On the one hand it is almost just a technicality that the usage of large language models and the training process are two separate processes, on the other hand it is a really important limitation. If you tell a large language model something new, it will be forgotten once that information leaves the context window. Maybe to be added back later on during a training run using that conversation as training data.

Building an AI that can actually learn the way humans learn instead of slightly nudging the output in one direction with countless examples would be a major leap forward, I would guess. I have no good idea how far we are away from that, but it seems not the easiest thing to do with the way we currently build those systems. Or maybe the way we currently train these models turns out to be good enough and there is not much to be gained from a more human like learning process.
The '020 was earlier than the 80386 and the '030 better. But yes, by the time of the 80486 and m68040, Motorola was better, but quite late, plus Motorola never had the impetus to bring it to higher clocks, whereas the 80486 got to 100 MHz.

It's certainly not correct to say that the m68060 "pretty much never shipped at all". I have several m68060 systems that would disagree with you. The chip even went through six revisions, with the last two often overclocked to 200% of its official speed. It actually competed well with the Pentium on integer and mixed code, although the Pentium's FPU was faster. Considering the popularity of m68k and x86 at the time, that was pretty darned impressive.
On a related note, most software is over-engineered. I think it's partly because of centralization of the industry; it's pushing everyone towards a small number of tools for the benefit of a small number of people who control them and so many of these tools end up becoming 'everything tools' and cover more use cases than they should.

Companies want developers to all know the same tools; that way they are easily replaceable across projects and companies and have little bargaining power in the industry. This is why software has a single mainstream trunk and alternative approaches are shunned with no jobs available. The industry is not being allowed to decentralize despite the fact that it naturally 'wants' to.

On the bright side, I think that eventually, some new, far superior non-mainstream approaches are going to materialize and they will erode the mainstream approaches.

Tech is not like math and not even like science; it can support MANY different branches solving any given problem in many different ways.
> We can’t say, by assumption we used up all the primes, so the new number must be a new prime - this doesn’t make sense.

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you simply pointing out that it's a contradiction? Because, indeed, it is a contradiction, and that's the point. It's a proof by contradiction!

The contradiction you state in step 4 is precisely equivalent to the contradiction "the new number must be a new prime." Stating "N has non-zero remainder when divided by each prime less than N" is equivalent to stating "N is prime." However this is not equivalent to the statement "any first N primary + 1 is prime" which is indeed a misconception.
To me Kotlin is different enough to be annoying to learn, but not different enough to matter that I use it over Java. So it just kinda feels like a waste of time.

I think most devs understand indexing at this point, if only because ORMs generally include it as a keyword. What they don't understand is why an index might fail to be used, which to be fair, is a massive subject on its own. MySQL is one thing, since it pretty much only has B+tree (plus FTS). It's also case-insensitive by default, so foot guns like "smith" != "Smith" go away. But of course, MySQL isn't cool anymore, and dear lord does Postgres have some gotchas.

Wrong collation? No index. Wrong case? No index. You didn't explicitly cast something and the result technically works, but isn't exactly correct? No index. Used a partial index with `WHERE foo` and then queried with `WHERE foo IS NOT FALSE`? No index. Table stats are wrong because you haven't adjusted autovacuum/autoanalyze daemons? Believe or not, no index.

As for normalization, yeah, that's right out. Unless you had a unicorn design your schema, 0% chance dev teams know or care about it until it bites them, and then it's a massive undertaking to fix it.

> A thinking style that relies less on visualization and more on other sense modalities or other imaginative processes to perceive and understand the world.

I agree with this assessment. I had no idea that I was near one end of this scale. I can only focus on characteristics of the imagined thing rather than its image--like conceptual fragments. I can focus on a specific thing, like a specific facial proportion and can conjure up an estimate but it's not much more than a couple blobs with relative size/spacing.

An interesting thing that I had noticed earlier in life is that I can often recognize things instantly from such a fragment, like the gait of a person off in the distance, or even the make/model of cars by the shape of headlamps at dusk.

An opposing/complementary thing is that I have on occasion experienced lucid dreaming where I had loose control of the scene.

I don't understand what you guys are purchasing and how the experience is so different if this is a real probability. I've had an Amazon account at this point since the late 90s, been a Prime member I think since 2004, wouldn't be surprised if I've exceeded six figures in total purchases after a quarter century considering several degrees worth of textbooks, furniture, appliances, clothing, the fact that both my family and my wife's family have been putting kids birthday and Christmas wish lists on there for close to a decade now. I have never once been bribed to leave a review. Obviously, this does actually happen, but it buggers belief that 1 in 10 is a real expectation and yet it never happens over the course of thousands of purchases in over 20 years. Unless there is something special about Great Britain in particular.

I'm not saying I trust the reviews on Amazon, but why even read them? I'm trying to think of purchases I made recently of stuff that actually mattered. I got all of my Minisforum Ryzen small-form factor PCs for my homelab cluster. Le Creuset cookware to stock my kitchen. I think I probably got the Dyson v7 Fluffy that's sitting in the corner of my room staring at me right now. My wife got our Litter Robot boxes from Amazon. When a bunch of my DeWalt power tools got stolen, I actually tried to restock from Home Depot, but they were out of a bunch of shit and Amazon wasn't. All of my Aruba Instant-On access points came from Amazon. Clearly, not everything is reputable and you should avoid certain categories of things. I know my wife was trying to get skin care products from there at some point and says it was all obvious knock offs that were watered down and she could get the same stuff but actually real from department stores and just started doing that. But best I can tell, high quality durable goods from well-known brands sold by the actual brand with pre-existing reputations are perfectly fine. Go to Gamer's Nexus or L1 Techs if you want honest word on the best PC parts. My dad was a plumber for 45 years. If I want to know what brand of tools to get, I ask him.
