This has to be taken in the context of electronics’ lifetimes.

A smartwatch that was supported for 8 years is pretty great. Who’s doing better?

But if competitors do better, that raises the bar for Apple and is a net benefit for customers. So yeah, Samsung, Google — here’s your opportunity to outshine Apple.

(Google’s already making noises about supporting newer Pixel phones for 8 years, and have committed to supporting some Chromebooks for 10 years. This is a good thing and I’d like to see more manufacturers get interested in offering longer periods of support.)

For now, I suspect Apple will say they’ll be recycle your watch so the materials are not “wasted”.

Naw, it's the tires.
Why two years? My phone is almost two years old, when will I be receiving this push? =)
I haven't played with any of Podman's Kubernetes YAML stuff yet, but we target Kubernetes.

Does it support higher-level declarations like Deployments and StatefulSets? I'm trying to understand how/if we could use this without having to write new manifests. A (very) quick search didn't clarify it for me.
looks great. the audio got me interested
To be frank, the donors likely think their donor money should go towards further development of Processing itself. That's why they're donating to THAT foundation
(Unaffected by this).

Found it the reverse chronological order (with timestamps being a smaller/lighter font, at least on mobile) to have caused extra thinking, which, for a status, seems undesireable.

I get wanting to expose the latest thing first, but the "top-posting" style seems intuitive. Perhaps, as a compromise, a status page would have a "Latest" block at the top, with the timestamp prominent, where the latest known status would be placed by whatever makes the updates, but the updates themselves are in the chronological order?
I puked inside my mouth. From ending every tweet with an emoticon to telling people to use another description to not spam. Also telling people to get users to your platform by making a (unpaid) job posting on LinkedIn for Beta tester. Then the overly positive reactions.

To add, firecracker is an alternative to qemu like katacontainers are an alternative to containerd or runc. But both focus of security by isolation, as you mentioned.
This comment has strong 1960s vibes.
We should have relationships but they’re entirely based on text and also the AIs text for us. When the AIs love each other enough the male AI forks the code of the female AI, injecting his code, to make a new hybrid model
This is probably fine for non-industrial wastewater tbh. Feces, urine and biodegradable toilet paper aren't putting anything in the ocean that isn't already there in vast quantities.

What exactly is the intended takeaway from your comment and the provided link w.r.t. the article?
Well played xD

I'll refrain from qualifying your comment, chains of bad puns are not very highly regarded here.
So how should a company that makes tech that people want while being as environmentally friendly as possible present itself? What other company is more environmentally conservative while making the tech that people want (for example Xiaomi, Huawei, etc) than Apple?

"Don't make it" is not a good answer. People buy it, so someone will make it.

And I'm happy that Apple educates their customers about the environmental impact.
Look up the history of guerilla warfare.
If you bought a $17k Rolex Submariner back in 2015, and they told you it could no longer be serviced, I think many people would be outraged.

Rolex's own recommended service timeline is every 10 years, so you would actually be told it's obsolete before the first recommended service.
As an electronics engineer in Australia I don’t quite get what you’re saying about proper engineering - can you elaborate?

Are you talking about the markup on parts or how expensive Australian labour is? I assume the former since the average salary isn’t massive and US engineers do better? (Although there are ways, like consulting which is what I do!)
I don't think that follows, it is easy to imagine an alternative history without all the hissyfits about nuclear fission or with real investment into nuclear fusion starting in the 70s.
Thirstbait is the default for these companies. I don't access YouTube with any Google cookies so their profiling is suppressed. They periodically load up their front page with T&A content despite never having a personal history of clicking on such content.
Gold isn't as expensive as you imagine. Can't find the weight of the gold one, but the regular watch is 31 grams. I assume most of that is glass/screen/batteries/strap/electronics, so perhaps just 8 grams is case? 8 grams of gold is worth about $500.
I'm not familiar with the Ford Foundation or its work. However, from reading their Wikipedia article, I get the sense that they are pretty independent from the Ford company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Foundation

Per Wikipedia: "Between 1955 and 1974, the foundation sold its Ford Motor Company holdings and now plays no role in the automobile company."
Not really. Godwin's law points to inadequate comparisons to Hitler and the "classic Nazis", whereas your parent points out that he supports real, alive Nazis today.

It's a not a Nazi comparison, it's stating facts. Just two days ago he recommended voting for the German fascist party AfD, in the process regurgitating white supremacist conspiracy theories.
Many commercials works by saying stuff far from the reality. Can’t help thinking of those gigantic EV advertised everyday and everywhere as climate saving wands. « Change the world, by X or Y » (no pun intended).
> An influencer was also present on the panel

It should be clarified that she is also a newsreader and runs a book club. There's nothing wrong with being an influencer, but to not mention the rest is incomplete.
The most expensive bottle of vodka comes with refills (which is kinda funny in its own right)

I believe expensive mechanical watches comes with a service plan (or at least something to the effect of a note saying “send it in for service every x years or so”)

I’m similarly surprised that this one doesn’t come with hardware upgrades as part of its “service”, whether it be included in the purchase price or paid extra.

As someone born after the Cold War, that film opened my eyes to the fear of nuclear winter in a way I didn't grasp learning history. Fantastic piece of cinema, highly recommended.
> Can you predict crimes? Of course you can, the math is clear.

I don't follow—just because arrests were made doesn't imply crime happened, and it doesn't imply the police are arresting the people committing the actual crimes. All it shows is that the cops arrest the same people over and over again. How do you know they aren't just harassing innocent people?

> The solution to reduce crime is also logical and clear, but politically unfeasible: extended incarceration.

Sorry, what solutions are you comparing to and what are you basing this on? Sounds like reactionary fear... miss me with that ish. Anyway if long sentencing worked we wouldn't have the crime rate we do.

Then again, asking a reactionary to use their brain is like asking a worm to fly. Apologies for the request.
Doesn't the P in PTSD require climate change to be over before it can be classified as such? Shouldn't it be called Ongoing or Anticipatory rather than Post?

Circular-interactive AI's will consume all bandwidth in the blink of an eye. We need some AI to control it and to filter out the human from the AI. Maybe using some AI-in-the-middle attack vector to stall the bots a bit.

Man, it might get very messy.
This is just a fluff "article" that wraps the MIT publication: https://news.mit.edu/2023/desalination-system-could-produce-...
I find that one of the reasons is that creating a tradition is part of the larger Japanese culture itself. Similar to how the Anglosphere likes to create new words via contractions, just to have a word for a very specific meaning, in Japan everything is encouraged to connect to a tradition, or a cultural reason for it.
You're basically saying at no point can they ever make a joke, so yes.

Fooocus does quite a bit of prompt massaging for you - there are models that take a few words and turn them into “prompt engineer” level prompts. Makes a huge difference.
Yeah, applying some realization about learning instruments, I'm currently more or less forcing me to just do stuff in Godot. More focus on doing and learning, less focus on the result.

It's part struggle with other programming mindsets I have from backend servers for game and other web applications - "Oh, just shove all data into this system" is a valid answer, and "really, really just do what you need right now" is a good idea.

And having implemented some of this on straight up SDL, it's pretty impressive how something that would cost you like 1-2 days to make fall down to... 10 minutes of clicking around in a tileset editor.
Yes/no. There are sources of bias everywhere ranging from outright pay for play to more subtle types of influence that some companies are better able to exert or just are better at it. (For example, there are a lot of industry awards/Top 100 lists out there that are determined by random people on the Internet voting and who knows how many of those come from some big company PR department encouraging employees to vote for their company's best-place-to-work/product/podcast/etc.?
> I think many people would be outraged.

I think most people would make fun of the buyers.

It's also not a smart watch. You expect a regular watch to last.

Warfare (as someone who worked in the industry of war) has a lot more to do with things other than weapons.
I think it is sensible to keep a few hundred dollars at home. Our infrastructure, while reliable, it is not absolutely impervious to failure. While very improbable, scenarios of a multi-day payments system outage due to ciber attacks or maybe planned downtime in preparation for a major solar flare are possible. And if you think about local outages they are a bit more probable.
But this precaution goes down the drain if no business is ready to accept cash anymore.
Also, having some spare cash with you is useful if you want to help someone who has been robbed or a homeless person.
The Sewing Machine as Personal Computer?

Can you explain this joke? pugworthy didn't suggest that Oregon is in Europe.

He's right by the way. Presumably he's downvoted because people only read the headline and assumed the sandals are the same age as the baskets? TFA clearly states that the sandals "could" be as old as 6,200 years. Second sentence.

Yes, but that's Rolex. Apple doesn't have that level of trust or reliability.

It is ridiculous of course that these overpriced toys have such a limited lifespan, but that's a problem with every gadget these days. Stuff used to be good for decades, sometimes even centuries. All our modern high tech is only good for years. If that. Our economy is all about disposable luxuries.

Even so, if I was Apple, I'd probably still go out of my way to make sure these $17k watches will remain repairable for as long as it takes. The comparison with other golden watch brands really drives home the problem with these disposable business models.
The difference here is that katacontainers are OCI and CRI complaint - meaning that it can immediately be used with K8s, Nomad and possibly others. You get all the features of these orchestration platforms. LXC doesn't have that (it actually predates OCI and CRI).

There are other orchestration systems that can use LXC - LXD, libvirt, Proxmox, and may be others. Also, LXC doesn't have traditional virtualization - that's a feature of LXD using KVM. (Do you mean system containers, as opposed to regular app containers?)

Eagle wingspans isn't something I've seen used, but the football fields unit does make sense when talking about something which is relatively long (can be measured in 1/2 to 3x the length of such a field).

If you tell the average (US) person 1000 feet, they won't be able to envision it. But if you say "a little more than three football fields", they can visualize that.

The point of strange units of measure is just to make a quantity relatable.

Read Firestar as a teenager and liked it, so I went to a meet-the-author event at a local bookshop where he was promoting the next book in that series. When he opened up for questions, he responded to mine by mocking my speech (I guess I had a nerdy voice like probably many of us here) and didn't even answer the question.

Really turned me off the author. And that was before I grew older and wiser and came to realize how that series was largely libertarian agitprop and stereotypes of various demographics -- like Poul Anderson's Harvest of Stars series from the same era, maybe it is something that only adolescents can really love.

I agree with you - but I think both the ZX Spectrum Next and the Fenix256 both comply with your last statement .. but with the added advantage that backwards compatibility (in the case of the Next) provides a plethora of existing titles - whereas the Fenix256 is just too damned cool not to write code for, from the get-go ..
I dont think I have ever encountered this in my adult life honestly. A more common occasion is encountering a business that is cash only (usually small market stalls) and is infinitely more annoying as I have to go and take out a amount of money greater than the product I want to buy, leaving me with a rather annoying amount of loose change.
Yea this is kinda funny. Not like they’ve massively changed the shape of the thing
Right, but then there are also industry awards like the crypto ones which are literally just pay to win.

I trust awards like I trust video game analytics... if the biggest argument they got (in video games) is that you can "walk XXXXX miles" and "XXXXX hours of dialogue" and "XXXXXXX planets you can land on" I immediately assume the game will suck. Because if analytics is what gets people excited about it, anyone can manipulate a turd with good analytics. Same with awards. I can make a crypto tomorrow with an award for "most innovative in X space" within a day. I can even get a celebrity tell everyone how it changed their lives.

This is why advertising sucks, and awards are advertising. Its all about trying to pretend like anything you say has merit.
No no, it hallucinated. It didn't get the OCR wrong.
So why isn't this considered and treated as fraud?
There are different customer expectations in the luxury watch market and tech market. Apple didn't respect those expectations.

A luxury watch, certainly above the $15k range, is expected to receive lifetime servicing. It is a very clear principle that practically all luxury watchmakers respect.

It's not so much something to outrage about, as it is Apple harming themselves in this market a lot.
Thanks for the tip! Sorry to hear you gave up on it, it'd be really appreciated if you could email me with some info as to what problems you hit. We're improving our Electron support at the moment (adding ASAR support and so on), so if there's low hanging fruit it'd be good to know where to look.

The bug you linked to is a bit confusing, it seems to be a bug in electron-builder (or node-gyp), not Conveyor?
Perhaps, but there are languages that obviously differ from the "general" paradigm, such as stack programming. I guess if you only ever do stack programming, "stack programming" is just programming, but obviously stands out over all languages.

The article distinguishes between prog-lang specific puzzles and "programming in general is a puzzle", but without a universal paradigm it's not clear what that is - for example, stateless functional programming might be a puzzle, but the "norm" requires memory/state management as a puzzle; imperative/declarative is the same - which imperative is the norm, it's not clear to me it's less of a puzzle to have to explicitly think about sequence and state change.

I've used ChatGPT 3.5 (not 4, too expensive) to translate most of the Latin writings of Jerome, Ambrose, and Ambrosiaster (from Migne's Patrologia Latina) - the translations have been put in this repo in the public domain:

https://github.com/HistoricalChristianFaith/Writings-Databas...

Some takeaways:

- ChatGPT did excellent with about 3 sentences max at a time. Exceeding 3 sentences would cause it to often truncate the response (e.g. translating 3ish of 5 sentences, or hallucinating more).

- ChatGPT would originally return the translation, sometimes randomly prefixed with a variant of "The translation is" and sometimes wrapped in quotes, othertimes not. Using the function interface to ChatGPT eliminated this problem.

- When it comes to quotations from Bible verses, ChatGPT sometimes "embellished" (not sure what else to call it). E.g. if part of Ephesians 2:7 is quoted in Latin, in the English ChatGPT would sometimes insert Ephesians 2:7-8 in full.
It's not just oil, it's also coal and other integral resources that are now difficult to extract because we are at the upper level of the S-curve and efficiency has dropped.
All studies, huh?

[1] "Daily precipitation records for 219 surface observing stations in the United States for the 42-year period 1951–1992 are investigated for weekly cycles in precipitation. Results indicate that neither the occurrence nor amount of precipitation significantly depends upon the day of the week"

[2] is a highly cited paper, has a good overview of the field, lots of papers, and certainly points out that the claims you're making are not considered statistically valid. They present ~2 dozen papers, show that some claim effect, some do not, rank them by statistical quality, and most interestingly, have a good summary table (Table 2). Use Sci Hub to read the paper. Table 2 makes it completely clear your claims are simply not warranted by the science. The rest of the paper reaches the same conclusion....

"The idea that it rains more on weekends because of weekday pollution is a myth." [3]

If you care to read the literature, you'd find these are not outlier papers. The effects are far more subtle, and much weaker statistically and evidentially, than you are claiming.

The goat is without sin insofar as the humans are concerned, the sins in question are unambiguously those committed by the people, not the goat. If the goat committed his own goaty sins, that's irrelevant. Those hypothetical goat sins are unknown to the humans and don't factor into the goat's execution.

In the figurative or colloquial sense of the expression, a scapegoat is a person being punished for something other people did. They might also be a bad person in other unrelated ways, but what makes them a scapegoat is the part where they're punished for something they didn't do, for something other people did. You cannot be a scapegoat if you actually did the thing you're being punished for.

In both cases, the scapegoat is punished for something somebody else did. The biblical meaning and the colloquial meaning align neatly, there is no meaningful distinction here. SBF is to be punished for his own crimes, not for the crimes of other cryptobros, so he is not in any sense a scapegoat. Not in the biblical sense, nor in the colloquial sense.
