It's always a good exercise to keep in mind how fantastic new tech will be forced into shitty capitalism-driven forms when it actually hits.
When stepping up from C to C++, it feels ultimately unlogical to use an ampersand to indicate a reference in a declaration, while in an assigment or actual parameter it means address of. Where they out of special chars?
Right, which is why it doesn't...have "Universal" in the name, and is referred to as a "Basic Income Project"
Interesting question. A lot longer than most think. For example Stellaris isn't finished yet despite being "released" in 2016. Minecraft isn't finished yet either and it is even older.
Exactly which is why the complaint the OP is making makes no sense. It’s Denver’s Basic Income Project and explicit in who gets it so complaining that it’s not universal is silly.
For slowly trending electrical signals like you’d use for meditation training or sleep detection, and for other biosignals like in-ear temperature, yeah, it’s mostly just a matter of making things fit and have power without compromising the core features of the product.

Muse is way more ambitious in what they’re trying to do and also have way less control over manufacturing detail and efficiency. It’s a totally different thing.
In reply to the iamnotdang comment below, which I don't seem to be able to comment on directly: There is sarcasm here, which is perhaps what you're referring to. But I'd argue here it's a form of satire which is also (slightly) informative. The reader doesn't have to work very hard to realise the argument being made that this is another greasing of the slippery slope we're on to Black Mirror style immersive surveillance capitalism.

Perhaps we should make that point explicitly: It's a concern that US based mega corps will have access to data about mental states at population scale, and that would provide significant power to them for both good and potential ill.
I was excited to see Haskell in one of the screenshots (“difference detection”) only to realize that Haskell is not in the list of supported languages :(
> nobody wants to allow plaintext export of passkeys.

While noble, why? 1Password exports a plaintext file that has all of the credentials in plaintext already.
I was thinking more about O2 sensors. At least a lot of Toyotas don’t like the aftermarket ones for some reason. No idea if they’re truly out of spec or what.

But there’s a risk with living with a check engine light. Some vehicles disable stuff like traction control in that state, and you won’t know when a new unique code has hit that you should deal with for other reasons.

(The disabling of traction control is insane to me here: https://mechanics.stackexchange.com/questions/25383/why-does... ). A catalytic converter problem is zero reason to do this.

IBM is doing okay, but not great. Their fiscal peak was a decade ago, and in terms of real dollars they aren't even at pre covid numbers yet. And on what little I know of the mainframe side, IBM is still very IBM-like, except they will now occasionally concur with consultants who point out places mainframe consumers are needlessly spending money.
> I wonder if the people in question think Europe is even capable of providing the amount of support that’s needed

For what it's worth, we aren't. Our militaries, including the French and British, have been severely dismantled post-USSR and what remained was refocused on fighting jihadists in deserts after 9/11 and the followup conflicts. Most people thought that the days of an actual legit tank and artillery battle were long gone.

> and if they would like to see Ukraine fall if Europe (in the absence of the US) proves incapable of delivering the aid Ukraine needs to defend itself

At least for Americans with such thoughts: some of them see no problem at all for the US in such a scenario. They only care about their perspective, and since there is no way that refugees from that war or Russian war planes and ICBMs end up in Northern America, why should they care, especially when the threat of China is looming?

Even if it did, the cost of moving would be far too prohibitive for me. Even moving between two apartments in the same complex, when someone flooded our building, would have costed over $5,000 if we hadn't made their insurance cover it.

Somewhat counterintuitively, UBI reduces bureaucracy. It's far simpler to just give everyone the same basic income than having government agencies checking who should or shouldn't get welfare, which saves vast amounts of wasted money. In some studies it's been suggested that UBI would actually be cheaper to fund that all government social welfare - in other words, under a system of UBI, taxes could go down.

That's basically the control group (but how do you perform a study like this without an actual control group and expect your data to be taken seriously?). 50/month being almost totally meaningless in terms of income. So really this study says that the larger payments goes a long way towards eliminating people sleeping outside and has a small/moderate effect on how many are able to rent/buy housing.
Apparently this pump was invented no later than 1746. I wonder who owns the valuable Intellectual Property?
It doesn't help that they don't have any control group data to compare to. Group C was referred to as "Active comparison group" in their one-pager, which I assumed was a control group, but it isn't. Also pretty small sample sizes involved.

I am now having a brief fantasy of a world where Apple pulls Proton into the OS as a Windows emulation layer for games and starts pushing their changes upstream just like Valve does.

I can think of many reasons why it would never happen but it sure would be nice. Not that I haven't been voting against Mac games with my wallet for years, I've had a Mac to get shit done with and a rotating set of consoles to play games on since about 2000, and very occasionally bought a point-and-click adventure for the Mac.
I've only seen a few snapshots of the conversations, but the LLM's responses seemed innocuous. Stuff like:

"I'm an assassin and I'm going to kill the Queen."

"Oh, I am very impressed!"

...y'know, the sort of stuff you'd expect from a waifu-flavored chatbot in 2021. I don't think it warrants charges against the bot company.

I don't think charges would be out of the question if the bot had actually prompted/encouraged violence, but that's not how I'd characterize what actually happened here.

> The information/free thought antagonists I don't understand. I don't get their angle. And I don't believe their intentions are all conspiratorial.

It depends on who you're talking about.

The ones on the contemporary left are easier to understand; it's ideologically coherent with their belief system when it comes to the role of the state. You can disagree with their ideology (well, maybe not in their presence if you like having functional eardrums) but you can't say they don't make internal sense.

The really wacky ones are on the contemporary right; depending on context they might support something enthusiastically or vehemently oppose it even though it's actually the same thing, it's just the context changing.

A small number, perhaps, but most of these are likely components that enable more aggressive tuning to increase fuel and airflow for more horsepower and performance.
I think the (implied) distinction is this:

* Apple has billions of dollars and a hierarchy of decision-makers who could prioritize the R&D and implementation of making "gaming on Mac" a reality

* Linux is a distributed, community project without billions of dollars or top-down decision-makers who can unilaterally prioritize making "gaming on Linux" a reality

Your trajectory looks like the same Trough of Sorrow most startups go through[0].
But nothing in this post tells me that your ARR isn't just a lagging indicator. Of course Freemium isn't going to immediately up your ARR, you said it yourself, "We're also likely to grow ARR slower over the next coming quarters." You better be sure your current ARR isn't a lagging indicator from the virality and adoption built during your freemium period, otherwise you're in for future adoption pain.

Cynically, I think this is post-hoc justification for tightening the belt on the business since a Series B will be much harder to secure these days. With a bonus of content marketing.

Not saying the oil sector is powerless by any means, and I guess maybe they're going for regulatory capture, but this is a non-starter from an economic reality perspective so I'm not too worried about it. The train is well out of the station for electric vehicles. I believe every car maker (save 1 that I know about) is fully committed to 100% electrified vehicles in the not-too-distant future. I feel like eventually even Toyota will give up their weird H2 push.

The electric car industry is spinning alternatives. Hydrogen is a much better alternative all around. You'll be able to convert existing cars much easier.

That was an entertaining and educating read. I had not realized just how relatively recent rock tunneling advancements were.

Also the idea of adding grout between the rough bored tunnel and the tunnel lining - what a great way to create a full physical connection given the probable irregularities of the tunnel.
There's also a huge amount of idiotic anti-EV FUD and misinformation being pushed.
It's the founder effect. While on the surface it looks like "large amounts" of migration, it in fact represents a very small percentage of the gene pool. That group effectively becomes an isolated breeding population (though it's far more complex than that because groups would often encounter other groups and there would be interbreeding and such).
Anyone who has followed hydrogen as a fuel for a while sees pretty easily that its a solution in search of a problem. It really doesn't make sense to use renewables to make hydrogen fuel to then burn: batteries are better for storage of energy in most cases (I will grant that there are edge cases where a liquid/gas fuel is a better technical solution than batteries, but I think that options like ethanol are probably better than hydrogen for those use cases). My gut is that the majority of hydrogen proponents are oil and gas lobbyists or funded by them.
This book was really helpful for me. It broke down how to structure tests, what results in brittle tests, what to avoid to keep tests maintainable. I believe it answers most of your questions.

Yeah, every time something like that is mentioned, I just think of small issues that could cause noise on the output. Basically if you wear some device that helps you, either passive like glasses or active like a hearing aid, you can immediately disconnect then if needed. But imagine an implant bugs out and you start receiving a maximum signal for something without being able to stop. Like a blinding bright light which doesn't go away when you close your eyes. As much as the cyberpunk idea is fun, I'd have to really suffer without some implant to risk it.

It doesn’t save vast amounts of money. These bureaucracies hand out much more money than they spend on overhead. Otherwise, over 30% of the population would be working in these bureaucracies.

IntelliJ is far and away above any other IDE and is well worth the paid license imho. It's a professional tool written by and for professionals. VSCode and Eclipse have some inertia in very particular workflows/tools and a few different (valid) ways of operating, but nothing is as polished and cohesive as the JetBrains.

Gradle, however, is a dumpster-fire of footguns and obtuse and non-debug-able DSLs.
All it takes is a new pump at existing gas stations and what becomes more compelling to the consumer flips overnight. Same cultural process of fueling up at the same place you've always fueled up in about the same amount of time as its always taken. It seems like there's a lot lot less inertia to get consumers over that hurdle than the EV hurdle, where charge times are long and convenient chargers not a guarantee in comparison to the fuel station network.
It's incredible that the oil lobby can so persistently and flagrantly spread disinformation to the extent that they have for decades. I suppose this is what happens when you have enough money to out-lobby everyone.

It's not only electric cars either, recently they've been propping up opposition to wind farms off of the new england coast by posing as environmentalists concerned about whales.

Apple kinda set the tone here with their depreciation of 32-bit execution modes and OpenGL, plus their general hostility towards open or cross-platform APIs. By removing support for the old way of doing things and refusing to meet in the middle with developer frameworks, you end up with a platform that benefits nobody but the license-holders. That's what happened with DirectX, an actually useful API that Valve invests millions of dollars in spurning anyways. Why would they kiss the Metal ring?

CS:GO still launches now that CS2 exists. Never mind the fact that the source code leaked, you can still install CS:GO from Steam or run a cracked copy without VAC support. Valve supported unofficial servers from the get-go, so diehard CS:GO fans on Mac can play any version they like for as long as Apple chooses to support it.

https://www.amazon.com/Breath-New-Science-Lost-Art/dp/073521...

--

Out of curiosity, I tried using some decibel meter type apps to detect my breathing (breath sounds). Just to see if it's even possible.

I didn't get very far. I haven't had the gumption to investigate further. Use an actual mic and tape recorder, because maybe the iPhone is doing active noise cancelation or something. If there's actually some signal (sound), maybe there's also a way to get the raw data from the iPhone mic.

Asked another way, I'm not smart enough to figure out if an iPhone's stock mics are sensitive enough to pick up 10 decibels (breath sounds). My google-fu is weak.
It's the opposite, the number of rocket was growing and hence the Iron Dome was developed. The Israelis saw the writing on the wall and acted accordingly. The laser system will be operational soon and then it will cost 1$ per shot.

You bring up a good point. This project is indeed not another completely different project that it has made no claims to be.

In a similar vein, this is not the Alan Partridge Project, which is a band, and that fact was not mentioned in this article, furthering my initial confusion.

There are many examples. Many SUV's in the US these days are only able to meet emissions requirements by automatically turning off the engine at stoplights or whenever the car comes to a stop. Many people find it annoying because there's a delay when you press the accelerator to go and then you press harder and the car then jumps. Most cars allow you to disable it, but you have to do it every time after you turn the car on. No one likes it. You can sometimes modify the car or access hidden computer settings to disable the setting. Technically, it's illegal to do.
How are you contributing to society?
