Some say that less than 120fps is literally unplayable.

I remember when CoD 4 being 60fps on Xbox 360 was a big deal.

Virtually unplayable is in the eye of the beholder.
It blows my mind to think of mathematics/logic almost like a huge cellular automaton. “axioms” don’t necessarily correspond to “truth”, to me they’re arbitrary constraints that can give rise to complexity. And sometimes the resulting systems can be useful
Two things, first, while I think monogamy is probably good for society in that it gives average men/women a chance to meet each other when all the most desirable mates are taken off the market, in actual fact I think it also causes a bunch of these problems. People in their 20's are told "find someone to spend the rest of your life with" so its this super risky high stress situation rather than being a "lets hang out until we are tired of each other". Partially forced by western civilization largely trying to make little atomic families rather than making child rearing a community/extended family effort where a parent can continue to fully participate even if they don't happen to be sleeping with the child's other parent. So, IMHO marriage as this big social function is really dumb, and unneeded for two people to shack up. These days its largely a "we are going to make a family party", except when it isn't. And given humans seem to be a serially monogamous species, it probably should take that into account.

Anyway, part two of this is sorta related, but the attitude of the lady in the wheelchair I find stunningly toxic and lacking any kind of self awareness. I have a feature that everyone always notes and asks about too, but long ago I realized that people rarely if ever were looking to be rude or prying or anything like that. Its largely a conversation point, but particularly around dating, it might seem a bit forward to ask if she is sexually functional, but no more so than questions like "do you want kids". Sure it might be better saved for some future date, but I'm guessing two things. First very very few people are going to be looking to date/etc someone who isn't sexually functional, and its probably a good idea to clear the air on something like that early, but also I suspect few people ask it in such a crass way. Which is suggested by the wording where the woman infers that is what they are asking and blocks them.

So, i'm guessing few people are trying to denigrate her, they just are touching on a subject without their brains fully engaged to the idea she might be sensitive to that topic. Or maybe some of them are just trying to get to know her and understand her situation in life from an empathetic stance. Which means the problem is really her sensitives. People are expressing interest in her despite her problems, and to block them because they dared ask a question is what is toxic. Unless your goal is to be single until you find someone who isn't a bit clumsy everyone needs to give potential partners a bit of slack. Even without the wheelchair its impossible to find that perfect person, people screw up, etc. Excluding people with negative traits they are unwilling/incapable of fixing is one thing, but that isn't displayed by a question that many people would consider one of the more important parts of dating.

No, god no, what, are they insane?? There is zero reason for work and personal lives to come into contact, it's just handing the company bullets to shoot you with later.
It doesn't mean they lift their entire body up 6 ft. They just have to be high enough to clear the belly while lifting their legs up. Just like steeplechase runners do. High jumpers never have their center of gravity above the bar, they just kinda fold themselves over it.
I would argue that offering your employees a massive loan that you might forgive but it depends if they like you, is incredibly predatory. Terrifying in fact. I guess less bad that giving $100k in cash and asking for it back out of nowhere. But only because it's in the contract.
> We're newborns in diapers drinking milk, thinking about what kind of inheritance we'll leave for our great grandkids.

I know, aren't humans awesome?

Most species just eat all the corn and die, or convert the atmosphere oxygen causing a mass extinction.

Humans are looking up and going "oh wait, we are causing a problem, how do we solve this?" and then they follow it up with "and even if we solve it, we need to do something about the whole carbon cycle thing ending, how do we get life off this rock?"

I don't know of any other species that has gotten anywhere close to this.

Humans are great.
This is exactly on point, but it has nothing to do with dating apps. The article claims dating apps are "soul-destorying" yet the first example it gives is of a woman solidly into her menopause who gave up on dating apps because she likes clubbing and one night stands instead of relationships.

There are low effort dating apps to get laid. To get laid, people don't want to put in a lot of effort. To get laid with a young guy, gramma Does have to put in a lot of effort, and it probably helps if her young lay is flipped out on E at an illegal underground club in London, as opposed to sitting in an office on his break between presentations.

My wife and I met on a paid dating app. It took me a day's worth of hours to fill in my profile, and what my requirements are. For my match, I defined education level, minimal number of fluent languages and what they are, age requirements by race (some age faster, some slower), political views, religion, even the types of makeup they usually wear (none in my preference).

I got about 20 matches per week, and could only write my matches. There was no swipe, no "like" button. Only a text box. I went on a date with a phd student in english lit. I went on a date with a french-american doctor chick who graduated Stanford with an MD at 22. I messaged about 2 girls per week and always got conversation going, usually mutually deciding not to meet. I got messaged by about 2 girls per week, and always replied. I went on one date per week for 2 months and met my wife who speaks 4 languages, has a master's, and is 7 years younger than me. We did have some incompatible things, which were flagged in the match profile, but we decided those could be worked on and got married 6 years ago, 6 months after we met. The only photo she had on the app was the one she took for her passport.

But on this app I used, you would not only have to pay $25/month, it would be next to impossible to get a piece of ass and you'd have to invest hours in text and phone conversations before you met.

There are different tools for different things. This absolute crap article points out that you can't win a formula1 race in a uhaul, and calls automobiles bad. And it's blatantly obvious in their very first menopausal opening paragraph. The article is the bad app here, and that type of "reporting" is what is "soul-destroying" our society. Shame on them.
Not really:

With input-addressing you look things up in the store based on the input hash. You can determine the input hash yourself, but you have to trust the store to provide a response that corresponds to the sources. With Reproducible Builds you can have a third party confirm that output matches that input.

With content-addressing, you look things up in the store based on the output hash. You no longer need to trust the store here: you can check yourself the response matches the hash. However, you now have to trust who-ever told you that output hash corresponds to the input you're interested in. With Reproducible Builds you can now have a third party confirm that output hash matches that input.

I have not worked with content-addressed nix in depth yet, but my understanding is that this stores the mapping between the inputs and their output hashes in 'realizations' which are also placed in the store. Reproducible Builds will still be useful to validate this mapping is not tampered with.
Secrecy is not incompatible with authentication. Various implementations of blockchain demonstrate this.

It's a question of trusting the government to be open about their security measures and not implementing a backdoor.

Dare I say that this software could be open source and shared with other governments. If it's properly secure enough, opening the source shouldn't be a problem, and opens it to public audit.

I self studied from this book as an undergrad. I was an EE major and took linear algebra as part of the mandatory ODEs class but didn’t “get it.” At a certain point, it became clear that if I wanted to learn the more advanced applied math I was interested in studying, I needed to really understand linear algebra. I thought Axler was great at introducing both the material and teaching me how to prove things rigorously. The month or so I spent that summer reading that book made the rest of the math I took in undergrad trivial.
More so when the RAM remains limited on Macs as it too is integrated with the CPU and hence is non-upgradable. This is even worse than soldered SSD, as we can still make an attempt to replace the SSD chips with new ones with careful soldering, but nothing can be done about the RAM. These deliberately irreparable new Macs are just shitty products.

At the expense of undermining the quality of the rest of the kernel and burning kernel dev time.

> It is no coincidence that successful operating systems like Windows, Mac, and Android have stable ABIs that you can use to make drivers.

It's also no coincidence that drivers for previous versions of NT/Darwin regularly break with new releases, leaving users stranded while the Linux versions stay maintained in-tree. (I suspect the same is true of Android but I'm not familiar enough to say for sure)
I dunno about VCs/ tech companies, but there are many companies with custom typefaces they use for their marketing materials, not just logos. Many of them are close to existing fonts so you don't notice. Alaska Airlines has AS Circular[1], e.g., but only type nerds would see the difference from Circular. Domino's has one, BBC[2], CNN , Coca-Cola (not just the swirly logo)[3], National Park Service has some[4], and of course Disney has Waltograph.

Just a guess: all of those competitive athletes are in the far, far upper-right quadrant of the performance graph, where the curve flattens out. Their distribution will approximate to a normal curve, whereas zooming out to include everyone reveals a gaussian distribution.

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion without sufficient evidence. They've implemented partial DNSSEC. I think there is a configuration problem with their NS servers flapping with their registrar because their domains will disappear for hours at a time as evidenced myself and http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com shows that it's also "down".

PS: When there's a DNS problem, I try different resolvers amongst Cloudflare, Google, and various dnscrypt ones.
I think Apple’s blue ocean strategy is unique in the sense that it’s not when you feel they should release something but more so when they feel it’s the right time to release something and doing so in an Apple fashion way by being late. Because they make it refined to their standards.

In terms of blue oceans it’s where they see a lack of innovation because you can have many blue oceans within in anything you do if you see the problems that exist in a way that your competitors don’t and then you apply great engineering with great marketing (although sometimes it’s just marketing) to reach the numbers you need.
It is a big legacy business. A lot of the workday is actually nice because of the low performance expectations, but it sure grates on you if you want to do anything good.

How is blocking ads not a moral issue? Video creators also get hurt by ad blockers, not just YT, which does have costs associated with serving you video.

> So on those you never see ads?

I think they started showing ads on them, just fewer. They do cost storage and bandwidth, so what's wrong with that?

> Well, I can't speak for anyone else but I'm a middle-aged historian, so starting a video hosting platform is far beyond my expertise. Though in general asking someone "why don't you just go build it yourself" in response to a complaint about a service, software, or hardware item is a bit trite

Popular web sites are typically co-founded by non-tech folks. Anyway, what I meant that if you looked into starting one, you'd understand the immense scale of storage and bandwidth costs.
If you want to go totally crazy, you can use a black hole as a power source. The laws of physics don't give you a minimum size for them either. However for black holes the smaller they are, the more power they emit in terms of hawking radiation.
I use a MacBook Pro and my iPad Pro. I think these two are my powerhouse for coding, designing and doing all I need because I brainstorm on my iPad and research and use it to Disney/aappletv+ etc. and my Mac is for hardcore stuff.
> The brain is supremely efficient at what the brain has evolved to do. It is almost tautological! Because if it wasn't, it wouldn't have evolved to that.

This echoes an extremely naive view of evolution.

There are many phenotypes in the living world which have evolved but for which there is no reason to believe that the phenotype is either (a) supremely efficient and/or (b) under selection pressure (the two are obviously related).

Evolution has no tautology. Brains do not evolve to be supremely efficient, just like humans do not evolve to be supremely efficient.

What exists today is that which has survived, for whatever reason. It's not even possible to say something as apparently simplistic as "the only purpose evolution respects is leaving behind more copies" because that ignores (a) group selection (b) changing ecosystems that favor plasticity in the long run.

>To access MAID, an individual must have a serious illness, disease or disability which causes irreversible decline and unbearable suffering that "cannot be relieved under conditions [the patient considers] acceptable," says the federal government.

>"We should be ensuring that we never get to that point because we have better care available," Vachon said.

This seems like wishful thinking. Ultimately until we have regenerative medicine (SENS etc.) people are gonna get old and die. Trying to keep them alive even when they have terrible quality of life is not necessarily a humane option: https://slatestarcodex.com/2013/07/17/who-by-very-slow-decay...

Sometimes I fantasize about replacing end-of-life care with a cryopreservation option. Given how expensive medicine is, with economies of scale, I could imagine cryonics being cheaper than current end-of-life care. And it actually delivers on the promise of possibly giving people a meaningful extension on life, depending how medical technology develops in the future.

I'd be especially excited about replacing my current health insurance with a cheaper health insurance option that aggressively cryopreserves me (instead of taking care of me 'til the end) if I get a terminal illness.
relatively completely off topic but everything I understand about pi has come from 3D gif models I never saw in school they should be a core part of the learning curve much further to the start of it than 3B1B
Throwing up your hands in the air and giving up is easy. I’m not going to say there aren’t any crooks out there, but generally speaking The System is in favor of justice. Most people aren’t crooks. When going about your life you can’t expect things to be fair and rely solely on your moral high ground or goodwill when things aren’t fair, you need to fight back. Game The System as hard as you can and be prepared when things go south.

No one disagrees we might be able to discern insights if we understand how our brain is wired. The problem is the current state of neuroscience is so flawed in its approach it’s not looking like they’re of any use. They don’t even understand how a 900 neuron worms system works but are more than happy to tap half a billion dollars from unsuspecting politicians saying they’ll map the human connectome. Go read the brain initiative proposal [1] to see how out of touch with reality the scientists in this field are. I agree with OP that sharp criticism of the entire field is fully warranted.

Artificial neural networks are the closest working model of a brain we have today.

Lots of graph nodes, with weighted connections, performing distributed computation (mainly hierarchical pattern matching), learning from data by gradually updating weights, using selective attention (and/or recurrence, and/or convolutional filters).

Which of the above is not happening in our brains? Which of the above is not biologically inspired?

In fact this description equally applies to both a brain and GPT4.
Neural networks are absolutely based on a very simplified model of how brains work. Specific NN architectures are in turn based on specific parts of the brain (e.g. Convolution Neural Networks are based on the visual cortices of cats/frogs).
Well, looks like Pythagoras was common knowledge by that time.

> There's no incentive for anyone involved and consumers have gotten used to replacing devices every few years.

If anything, I would have thought that devices are good enough know that people don't exchange them quite so often? Especially laptops.

I can still reasonably comfortably use my 2016 laptop today. In 1993 using computer from 1986 would have been a much bigger downgrade.
phoenix/liveview
For me initially for the last 2 years was working on hardware as software people and we struggled to really find what we’re building and how to build it until recently when we realised that what we’re creating was evolutionary not revolutionary and it would cost way too much for us to even build a prototype. So we ditched it. Learnt a lot.

Now we’re working on an another software startup focused on creativity. Once again I think funding is the biggest issue and finding the right idea to grow beyond the idea alone which those two things take time. So hopefully we have an MVE in early new years and we can start getting some alpha testers onboard before we go full out waitlist and start raising funds.
With a large 4K screen, I'm not seeing any benefit for MST, and studies have shown it decreases productivity after 2 screens. The other problems are simply fixed with using iCloud and treating your laptop as a disposable, which many laptops have been designed as. If you use the MacBook add intended and invest in apple care it's unbeatable.

Scientists who had been exposed to Form II in the past seemingly contaminated entire manufacturing plants by their presence, probably because they carried over microscopic seed crystals of the new polymorph.

If someone told me this entire article was fabricated I would believe them. I would never have thought that such trace amounts of… everything one has ever shared a room with, essentially follow them everywhere dispersing as they go. Chemistry is wild.
> even using a utility that allows you to set a limited maximum charge level to preserve the battery

Please tell me what that utility is--I've long wanted something like that but have yet to find anything like it.

FWIW, I've been doing something similar with my phone, but manually. I found an unusually low current charger that charges the phone at a rate of ~5% per hour, and I almost always keep the battery level between 25% and 75%. So far the phone is 4 years old and iOS claims that the maximum capacity of the battery is still 92%.
I wrote a bit about this a few years ago in case people want to know more about this: https://evertpot.com/ecmascript-4-the-missing-version/

I mean we are all cogs in a machine. And I found that a smart effective team who works in unison can develop novel things. Combined with a visionary who sits above the team pointing the brainpower into interesting directions you get quite interesting results.

I think the power of teams is not in individual contribution, but when the team is significantly greater than the sum of its parts.
That’s true for a lot of people. Which I used to hate then now I’m like it’s fine because not everyone wants to do all the work to make something happen or it fails.
