He says 80% will be repairable by customers or channel partners.

Apple is probably well above that already. They already offer repair service for their phones, tablets and laptops.

Also, when I stopped paying attention to thinkpads (due to them botching a warranty repair) ~100% were repairable. You could get schematic diagrams, etc.

Dropping that to 80% is a huge regression.
Sure, If you have bought something like this already, it can do you a good service.
> CS is sorta useful in writing business systems but really for CS level problems, you’re mostly using installed software, not writing your own RDBMS, or your own sorting algorithm.

There are many jobs for which CS is absolutely useless. Or mostly useless.

But I'm sure there are also many jobs, where having a foundation in CS could be very helpful in weighing the merits of different solutions to a problem. Big O (scaling), understanding existing implementations, their performance on particular hardware, the difficulty (or non-) of implementing a new technique that doesn't exist as ready-to-use library, language issues, etc, etc.

Sure maybe one can do well without diving into CS. But that doesn't take away its value.
A lot of people seem weirdly aggrieved by the limit of the speed of light. It's not really the reason we can't go to space -- if you had magic energy density you could go to the stars in as little time as you wish, due to relativity. (Weird stuff happens when you try to come back, but nobody ever seems to care about that anyway.)

I think people hear "Einstein said you can't go faster than the speed of light" and think, "Surely I can figure out how to be smarter than Einstein". It appears to be parallel to the ones who get cranky when being told that Newton says you can't make a perpetual motion machine.

I suspect that they don't spend as much time thinking about the brain-in-a-box version is that it opens up too many scenarios that are hard to think about. If you decouple consciousness from bodies, who are you? Why not make multiple copies? Why go anywhere at all, when you could just stick the sensors there?

People really want the cowboys in space, and get aggrieved that somebody told them they can't. So they focus on overcoming a limit that seems like it can be solved just by thinking really hard, and leave the engineering details to the peons with calculators.
> what is the control in these experiments?

What was the control in Eddington?

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddington_experiment

Einstein's models made a prediction, people tested/measured that prediction, it turned out true/accurate. General theory has made other predictions, and empirical observations have found them to be accurate as well.

A phenomena was going to happen (e.g., tax law changes): some economic models predicted X would happen, and some predicted Y would. We can see which were more accurate.

Plenty of "real" science is/was done outside of controlled experiments.
Why would you put an AI on another planet? It's easier to transfer images and other data back here for everyone and everything to perceive.

> construct bodies onsite at minimal cost

That requires a bit more than a receiver. You'd have to build a robot factory, which requires energy production which requires mining which requires heavy machinery, which etc.
I knew it was going to be that when I saw the headline.
I'll reiterate what others have said. It's unusual that your wife is sleeping 12 hours. I don't know the details of your situation, but my initial impression is that it's woefully unfair. If the baby needs tending in the middle of the night, whoever's slept the most recently should be the one getting up.

Antidepressants are serious business. If you're actually just exhausted, it seems like you would be better off changing your environment rather than your brain chemistry. My wife has been on antidepressants since suffering from postpartum depression from our first child. Her current prescription seems to have her leveled out, but has also suppressed important aspects of her personality and perhaps even memory. This past year we've been in a rut where she refuses to even discuss changing anything because it's easier for her than confronting her underlying trauma.

For what it's worth, if you're fly-crawling-suicidal tired, it's better for you and your family to let your baby scream in their crib for an hour or two while you go sleep in a car. It isn't going to traumatize your baby, and might even be healthy for them to learn how to self-soothe. If you can afford it, it's also ok for you to occasionally take off a night and stay alone in a hotel, and let your wife take care of the baby. It would be more effective than antidepressants, assuming exhaustion is truly the root issue.
I feel it could come down to not using statistics to infer a given conclusion.

For instance base probability accounted, if there was a 1 in a trillion chance someone was at the right place the right time, just straight assuming it couldn't happen by chance is still wrong. By definition that chance was not 0.

At some point a practical decision could be made to cut prosecution cost, but it should be understood that nothing was proven.
Many of the TRS connectors have a built-in switch to (originally) disconnect the internal speaker.

It would probably have been easy to extend that concept to isolate all contacts until the tip hits the bottom.
why make this iPhone specific though... locked in proprietary hardware is not nice.

Sometimes I wish I could go back to the 90s (or even early/mid 2000s) just for a day to remember what that vacuum of "stuff to do" in every day life was like.

I lived it, I remember "being bored" or having "nothing to do", but I truly can't access it in a meaningful way. I would love to go back to those days of playing games or engaging in my hobbies where I didn't feel that constant pressure of "but you better get stuff done, we don't have all day here".
I can flesh out my snarky comment.

Just embarrassing that Disney cuts costs for creating a poster instead of just contracting any talented artist that would like to work for them or any artist that currently does. But it doesnt matter.
Fair.

Having used both (from Python) I found NATS much better. ZeroMQ in particular caused a lot of problems around the HWM (High Water Mark) limit for me or around process starting order (who creates what channel). Having a separate server helps with the last problem.
Interesting. Most income graphs I've seen appear to be normally distributed -- could you explain what would cause them not to be, or provide any examples that demonstrate non-Gaussian distributions?

But if wages are non-Gaussian, how would trimming the top and bottom 5% off of your sample be any better than using standard deviation ranges to control for outliers? The assumption that outliers are to be found on the top and bottom of your range is one that seems to apply to Gaussian distributions, and doesn't necessarily hold for others, regardless of whether you are using fixed percentage values or standard deviation thresholds. For example, in a bimodal distribution, outliers might be found in the center.
Why did they think it would have negative gravitational attraction? I always thought it would be attractive mass and didn't realize that was to be proven.

EDIT: now that I think about it, what are the implications for the "arrow of time" arguments?

The problem is that it’s hard to get the articles resolver make one query to fetch all the recent articles. So you’ll end up with n+1 fetches from the db.

In the articles resolver, you have to:

Select from articles order by created where article.user_id = X limit 5.

And you’ll have to run this statement n times - once for each user.

Not sure how a data-fetching cache layer at the app server layer will help here.

The malware problem used to be bad on Windows because everything had admin access. And the later "we don't have this program in our database, do you still want to execute it?" dialog wasn't too bad (especially when paired with an integrated blacklist of known malware !).

And why do you assume that other software distributors than OS makers aren't going to do due diligence ?
Not sure that it makes sense to compare NATS to gRPC. Maybe the thinking is because gRPC supports bi-directional streaming? The integrations are wildly different, though.
Let's call your 90s example what we now know it was: a bubble.

Software engineering salaries are substantially above the US mean and those that receive them are on track to be solidly upper middle class. They're not so high that you are free to make irresponsible financial decisions with no consequences.
I'm left handed, but I very early on (ie. like around age 5-6) I switched to using my right hand with a mouse. Since getting wrist pain in my right hand, I've purchased a magic trackpad which I keep to the left of my keyboard and I alternate between left w/ touchpad and right w/ mouse. It's worked very well for me!

Blackmagic's software is extremely powerful and totally overkill for casual users. But the target audience is advanced/pro users, so that's not an issue.
That kind of is the purpose of corporations. They're given special fictional person status because they're thought to be a net benefit for society. If they weren't, it wouldn't make sense to give them these privileges. The duty to maximize profit thing was made up in the '80s and is mostly not true except in cases of fraud or gross negligence.

Agree about watching less Netflix, though.

Car still good etc etc but this one, let's undo it. Founder Vision overruling practicality, many such cases

The argument to only use vision for driving makes sense: humans only use vision, so should the car. But, humans are awful at parking. So why should a car be good? I guess elite humans are amazing at it... And since self driving is meant to work at elite level, we still hold out for vision only?
It will hardly be surprising to see the burning of wood made illegal in my lifetime in many countries.

It is just an easy, visible target. It will be the easiest thing to demonize too. "What are you a caveman still? You need to burn wood?".

On top of that it is just not going to be a defensible position based on the amount of carbon released.

We are hardly headed towards a future that you have more choice in these matters than you do now.

Skilling African developers through All In Africa
How is that implemented? If a particular machine is 2x oversubscribed and everyone selects “unlimited,” I doubt AWS has special hardware that can run twice as fast by sticking a bit of money in the machine. I assume some customer workloads get migrated, which has its own performance cost.
It seems like it would be trivial to correct for these moving objects.

>use my shoulders and elbows to move my hands as much as I use my wrists

Yes, that is what I do. In particular, no muscle ever needs to stretch to anything close to the limit of its range of motion the way I type because the shoulders and the elbows can move over a much larger range than what is needed for moving the hand around its half of the keyboard.

Note that there is a third alternative, namely to keep the palm of the hand stationary and use the tiny muscles that move the finger left or right relative to the palm, which strikes me as even worse than bending the wrist left or right, and there is a keyboard called the DataHand that encourages, nay, requires, that:

https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?t=16008

This DataHand keyboard has very bad ergonomics, IMHO, and my guess is that switching to it causes more RSI than it prevents.

I mean the survey tried to be "equal" across the board, but as a gay man it wasn't really...

There were plenty of questions specifically directed at "enjoy doing this to a woman" but no "enjoy doing this to a man" equivalent.

Ie "Assume you're answering for scenarios that involve your preferred gender;" doesn't really work when one of the answers involves "into a vagina". Perhaps it would've been better to generically phrase it as "into your partner's vagina/anus" or something.

Plus I find it interesting that most of the "kinksters" I know (from the furry/pup/gay community) will often loudly & proudly claim to be into something when it's really only something they may have tried once before, or only do on occasion. I think there's definitely a lot of posturing involved.

score is 67.09 aka "The Joker" (90th percentile). Hmmm, I suppose most people do find cat boys/furry stuff weird, then...
I suspect most video game developers would suggest otherwise.

The engines are really good. In fact, I think that a couple of movies have been made, using Unreal.

Those are coming together with AR.

That said, advertisers could easily kill this, and there's so much money in ads, that I don't know if there's any way to prevent that.
I don't know, but isn't it likely to become for USB-C what USB 2 has become for USB-A after (I would guess?) the wild west of the USB 1 days ?

Now I’m curious about the ratio of houses numbered 13 and 12a (then 14 with no 13) across the UK.
I actually have the opposite feeling. I like the non-sized type names like float extended as float4 or float4x4.

My brain wants to read f32x4 as a 32 by 4 matrix of floats.

(That being said I'd definitely be interested in trying your convention in the context of something like Rust.)
There's a restaurant I've given up on for one of those fees. It's not on their PDF menus at all, nor the HTML ones. Just a nice little surprise when you go there. Fuck you. Pay your employees out of my bill, or go out of business, but don't tell me I owe 4% more for "kitchen support".

Much like restaurants that want to charge the customer for credit-card fees. Oh, you want to do that? I'll show you why restaurants were among the first to adopt credit payments even with merchant fees: because when you pay cash, some employees steal. And they steal a lot.
I think this looks really good, but I think I'd have trouble telling orange and red apart, especially if they were text colors next to each other.
According to a podcast I recently listened to this is not entirely accurate. Herzl did consider Uganda, but not too seriously and it is assumed that he used it to raise support for the idea of a national jewish home and not to actually go there.
> 1. Demographic changes means more retirees, and smaller workforce. Literally less people to go around.

A small point, but I think what you meant to say here is that there's a greater ratio of retired to employed people than there used to be, which is somewhat different than what you stated.

That said, I think this idea that we necessarily need some incredible amount of low-skill immigration to cover some drastic understaffing is bullshit propaganda put out to achieve bad wages and treatment of workers through basic supply and demand (drastically increasing the supply of labor). Technical innovations such as self-checkout lines and great security cameras and other tools of the modern age mean that you need fewer workers to do the same work.

As I think others have pointed out, the unemployment rate figures can be massaged in a lot of ways to be misleading. Actual wages should be the stat that tells you whether or not the workforce is too small. If wages are dropping or stagnant versus inflation, then claims of low unemployment should be considered laughable because otherwise wages would be increasing.
Airlines already have to disclose all fees. I don’t pay a cent more than the price listed on google travel.

Every time the Federal Reserve makes a policy change there are people running their models on what will happen, and if their models are right they make a lot of money, and if they're wrong they lose a lot of money:

> But why was Gross betting so heavily against Treasuries? Brad DeLong tries to rationalize[1] Gross’s behavior in terms of a coherent story about an impending U.S. recovery, which would lift us out of the liquidity trap. But Gross wasn’t saying anything like that. Instead, he was claiming that the Fed’s asset purchases — QE2 — were holding rates down, and warned that the impending spike in rates when QE2 ended would derail recovery.

> So why did he believe all that? It all comes down, I’d argue, to liquidity trap denial.

> Since 2008 the basic logic of the economic situation has been that the private sector is trying to run a huge surplus, and the public sector isn’t willing to run a corresponding deficit. The result is an economy awash in desired savings with nowhere to go. This in turn means that budget deficits aren’t competing with private borrowing, and therefore need not drive up interest rates. This isn’t hindsight; it’s what I and others have been saying since the very beginning[2].

If people don't want to bother accepting the results of these experiments and continue following models for reason other than accuracy, that's hardly the fault of the field of study. See the movie Behind the Curve on folks doing perfectly valid experiments and completely ignoring the results:

How do you deal with the same in Photoshop?
My personal take on precision medicine is that before we can truly scale it up, we need to properly understand and treat organisms as _systems_. Thus, no precision medicine without systems medicine.

Systems medicine too is a thing, so the thought is not unique as such. But I just feel there is way too little focus on systems level understanding.

I'm sure there are some counter cases to this, like some examples in the video, where there were some very "simple" treatment solution to a problem. But I think this will not always be the case, and probably in many situations one might need to turn more than one knob in the system to make it "just right" again. At the same time, the knowledge based approach he took to help his son of course kind of embedded a lot of systems understanding in the knowledge bases, so it is perhaps not a complete counter case either.
You decide everything is either good or bad with no shades of grey, declare yourself a free speech absolutist and tell everyone that however bad that is, censorship is worse.
It is indeed used quite a lot in France, and it's great but... For extra confusion my parent's street starts with straight numbers (1, 2, 3...), _then_ switches to distance-based count! So that on one side of the road, we get houses 43, 45, 47, then suddenly 947, and on the other side 64, 66, 68... then 920.
Context: I'm in the middle of adding Apple Log support to my photo/video processing app.

The iPhone has incredible video quality, but you're right that the default Camera app botches it (or requires you to shoot ProRes HQ which is objectively overkill). I've been using Blackmagic Camera to shoot 4K Apple Log into a 10bit HEVC file, and it works really well. The files are easy to grade, and the bitrate is enough for everyday use. Footage from the Blackmagic app is clean, clear and not over sharpened. I really hope Apple adds an HEVC Log option!
