I agree on both points.

From a still photos perspective, unless you're using very wide or very long lenses, and/or otherwise have relatively specific requirements that require burst shooting/a viewfinder/etc. phones can handle a lot. No-brainer ISO range is good enough for most things these days--and would have been unthinkable in the film era.

I increasingly think about whether I really need anything other than my phone traveling even given I have a couple of good cameras and a lot of glass. I'll still bring (mostly my mirrorless) camera if I'm doing a relatively photogenic "exotic" trip but often I don't.

And if the course costs say $100 then it would be $20M in revenue. Do you really think it is possible to run it profitably while employing 100s of people making and testing and distributing these pills ? Especially given that infants are involved ?

This is why this whole thing felt like a loss for Apple. They're 100% right, it was shot on an iPhone, but they also had 99% of the population believing something which seemed really cool, and then turned out to "appear" misleading.

Maybe this whole stunt was aimed at the 1%, and if so good for them, they succeeded. From a branding and PR perspective, I wouldn't be happy if that was how my company was perceived to the general public.
Nitpicky: for a lot of parts that would have actually been 70Hz (from the 320x200 VGA mode 13h), and having run the demo back in 1993 it definitely was not as smooth as in the video above on my 486/66MHz (and the Pentium had only been out for a few months at the time).

This post is really confusing. The "Standard Calorie Model" is not a thing. Are you using the term as a shorthand? If so, other people aren't going to know what it means. Regardless, nothing related to the use of calories to quantify energy intake from food or energy burned from exercise comes from Nazi Germany or Dr Kellogg.

Despite other ridiculous beliefs Kellogg was a big fan of vegetables which were a big part of his diets. The only study semi-related to food and Germany in the 30s/40s I can think of is the Warsaw Ghetto Hunger Study, but that was on the physical and psychological effects of starvation not how calories are calculated and was done by Jewish doctors in Poland not Germany.

The use of calorie to refer to energy in food and the first method for measuring the amount came from Atwater in the late 1890s and the first studies on the amount of calories people burned were done in the 1910s resulting in the Harris-Benedict equation, a modified version of which is still in use today for calculating metabolic rates.

Like yes theres still a lot of challenges in how calories in food and calories burned are calculated and a lot of values can end up being wrong on both sides, but thats only a problem of the equation having incorrect numbers and doesn't disprove CICO itself.

I'm seriously confused where you got the ideas you're putting forward here.
We want meritocracy, and in theory we reward merit with capital and power. But merit can change quickly - and power tends to corrupt and reduce merit - while power and capital remain.

From the article's description, CEOs like to flaunt their corruption and lack of merit these days.

I agree that a lot of the net wealth increase came from asset prices going up, but your original comment said "don't actually own the assets they utilize" which is not the case as evidenced by the data I linked.

You can also see that debt has fallen, p31 of the report I linked. So that's another mechanism through which median net wealth has increased, which is not asset price inflation.

As far as sources, I trust a technical Fed report more than an opinion analyst piece written by 'economists' in a private bank. I may be biased as a formal central bank economist :) That report is half speculation about the future ("looks set to end soon, with excess household savings likely to be depleted by year-end"), whereas what I linked is actual data from the past.
You can still buy them, but when they're gone, they're gone. After Ford stopped the Ranger in 2011, nobody has sold a US market regular cab compact pickup truck. (The more recent Ranger isn't available as a regular cab)

You can get a regular cab F-150, or similar, and you can get a smaller truck with a tiny bed and two rows of seats.

Thanks for providing a concrete example of

a) what a relatively mundane value-add via co-ordination looks like. Something like this is impossible to communicate without so much context but these stories are happening in every single pocket of a giant org.

b) What the artistry of it is. It's not easy and can take years to understand a single co-ordination problem well enough that you push single pebble and cause the right avalanche of change

c) Why anyone who is looking for impact inevitably gets drawn into it, independent of their feelings of whether they personally enjoy it or not (spoiler alert: I have never met anyone who has told me this was their true passion from birth. All of us wade into it reluctantly and eventually develop the internal motivation to make it satisfying).
So in this version of NYC / SF / LA, where do the service workers live? Who tends bar? who runs security at the door? who's sitting at the reception desk? Who cooks the food? Who delivers the food? who teaches the kids? who cleans the toilets? Who roasts the coffee? who delivers the Amazon packages?

Those people (clearly you are not one of them) need to live somewhere. They don't need to live in a luxury condo in downtown, but they do need to live somewhere, and if they all need to live in Yonkers / Fresno / Riverside to afford rent, they're not going to commute into your city of aristocrats.

we're seeing this in sf, with restaurants unable to hire, so self-sevice kisoks aren't a choice for the restaurant to use, they're sometimes the only option available. which is neat if you have a technology fetish, but sometimes we want a human person to talk to who understands something that hasn't been programmed into the computer.
I think you could say that about our own genes as well. They don't physically pull the levers and whatnot to make their own copies. They rely on external cell machinery to pull the strands apart and start transcription and so on.

A gene "self-replicates" in an "emergent property" kind of way, in that it encodes the information necessary for its own future proliferation. A viral strand of DNA/RNA does the same thing, encoding the behaviors and structure of the virus such that it'll proliferate.

You know, like a spicy meme :)
I commented a few weeks ago on something saying this was exactly what generated video was going to really take off in. Now you don't even need to pay the minimum wage for a struggling actor to endorse whatever thing you're trying to make: now you can just generate someone doing it. Or you know, a famous person.

Personally, going forward, this is going to be an automatic disqualification for me for any product or service. If you can't even be fucked to hire an actor, I'd imagine you can't be fucked to build whatever it is correctly either. No sale. I don't assume this will be a tectonic shift in my consumption habits anyway. I don't buy shit from instagram ads and the like and I have a feeling that's where this is going to really take off, but still.
I know you're trolling and I even found your comments somewhat humorous, but I hope you're not misleading yourself (or others) into thinking that you have a valid point here or that your "third layer" scenario is in any way comparable to Lightning in anything except the most superficial ways...

I'm not. If there was, their data wouldn't be lumped in with everyone else when it's leaked/hacked from all these large different organizations.

One thing I'm curious about is how they avoided lens flair from small bright lights - the iPhone's lenses in my experience produce multiple very pronounced lens flares when shooting bright lights (and older iPhones used to produce one large green flare as well, but I think that's been reduced in the 14 and 15 - I'm sure other phones do as well, I'm just only familiar with iPhones these days).

Very large light sources likely helped (as did the matte boxes), but maybe they carefully chose the camera angles as well to minimise this?
On the other hand, they also didn't anticipate the negative reaction to that, so I doubt they'd do the same thing again knowingly.
Sure there is (if you use that drone as a weapon). It would be the same investigation as someone putting a bomb at your front door. They’d analyze the components and narrow down the people with the motive and figure out which one bought them.
There have been people shooting terrific pictures and great movies on phones for years now. Nobody is under the illusion that your holiday pictures will be great as well just because you used the same camera phone as a famous hip videographer.

It does not appear misleading unless you really want it to.

> The other is "If you have an iPhone you too can make such a video". Which is what anyone who isn't affiliated with the film industry (aka 99% of the population) might think, especially if they didn't see the behind the scenes.

I honestly don't think it's a reasonable takeaway for anyone who is at all interested in creating highly produced video with their iPhone. Even if you're an absolute beginner, it's abundantly clear that these Apple videos are serious productions.

It's not significantly different than hearing that an accomplished journalist wrote a column on their iPad, or a successful entrepreneur manages their schedule with their iPhone calendar, or a famous musician uses GarageBand for songwriting (or even full production).

The point in all of these examples is never that you can accomplish these things with an iPhone and don't need talent, creativity, years of practice, other gear, etc. The only point is that the iPhone is not a significant limiting factor on the quality of results you can achieve.

It's not FUD it's the truth, they OBVIOUSLY want to control everything and remove privacy and enable government surveillance. They have just proven that by trying over and over again. They just know they can not blatantly outlaw Linux or things like that, that is why they try to sneak in shit like this with some buried text on the legislation. If they could at the flip of a finger outlaw Linux and things like that and impose total control, they would for sure do it instantly. It's just that it's too established, too common so there would be too much outrage, so they try to break encryption this way instead. If they had their way, they would have a total control!
I previously had a rudimentary understanding of log, but the author's other recent piece devoted to it in the context of the iPhone 15 pro (https://prolost.com/blog/applelog) gave me a much better appreciation of its importance to professional-looking video. From that article:

> But with this iPhone 15 Pro Max footage shot in Apple Log, I can recover all the detail — or just let it overexpose gracefully into this ACES output transform, for a smooth, film-like look. This soft highlight rolloff in the log-to-video conversion is called a “shoulder” in film, describing the upper part of the classic s-curve. A nice shoulder for your highlights is a big part of what makes footage look “pro” — especially when your grading happens underneath it.

> How would it play out if the Treasury decided to ignore the debt-ceiling outright, and continue to service the national debt?

As the article notes, the Treasury already does things to circumvent the debt ceiling, and nobody cares. The article is just discussing further things that the Fed could do to help the Treasury circumvent the debt ceiling if necessary.

In other words, I don't think the debt ceiling issue will ever trigger a Constitutional crisis. (Unless, of course, you think, not unreasonably, that all this circumventing of laws passed by Congress already is such a crisis, but that's a whole other discussion.)

There was an ongoing trial, "Joseph Granger v. Peter Avery in 1874, a case related to the Passamaquoddy Tribe’s 1794 Treaty with Massachusetts. The case began over a dispute whether the Tribe or Calais lawyer Joseph Granger owned Grass Island in the St. Croix River." - https://www.mainememory.net/sitebuilder/site/3283/page/5208/...

Granger has been trying to get the courts to recognize his claim since 1855. https://legislature.maine.gov/backend/app/services/getDocume...

Several of the people involved in the redaction were in a position to know about the lawsuit (see "Mocikuwin mawi (Passamaquoddy for: Old Boys Club Decisions)" at https://www.mainememory.net/sitebuilder/site/3283/page/5208/... )

As https://mainemorningstar.com/2023/10/09/a-matter-of-not-hidi... says, "The reason officials had for redacting sections of the Constitution are still being debated due to sparse historical evidence", but there are enough connections that surely people were talking about it then.
> Most teams I've been in are incapable of handling such behavior (i.e. recognizing that X is the problem and not Y).

This is true. On the best team I was ever on, the team leader was respected by everyone and he also mediated conflicts. At the same time, he was incredibly open to new ideas and points of view, and would gladly spent days thinking about what people said to him before coming to a conclusion.

On multiple occasions I made proposals that were in direct conflict with what he had proposed, and he took the time to think my ideas over and give thoughtful feedback, and also on many occasions we came to either compromise, or he changed his mind based on the technical evidence presented.

I guess what I'm saying is, if you have someone in the team that everyone looks up to, and who everyone respects both technically and personally, then that one single person can define the culture for the team.
No, that doesn't measure that they are doing what we want them to do. That measures how effectively they can convince us that the other candidate would be worse, so you should vote for the lesser evil.

On most topics, there is NO candidate who is for doing things outside of the current Overton window. If, for example, you don't like our AML laws, you probably don't have a viable candidate on the ballot who wants to change our AML laws. Therefore your vote can't show your support for changing AML laws.

Or you could broadly tranche into 4 categories - 1) pure hunches, 2) pure quant ML stuff (I don't know what this signal even means, but computer say number go up), 3) hunches that you validate with data (kind of like the scientific process), and 4) the reverse - quant ML/data that you validate with logic/hunches (computer says number go up, but why would this pattern exist, who is on other side of this, what are the tail risks, etc).

How do you compare the results? Most of the time you can’t know the actual probability of events being predicted even after they happen, and so it’s apples and oranges.

If you predict that it will rain on Friday, and I predict an alien invasion before Christmas, and both actually happen… Does that mean I was smarter because my event was vastly more unlikely? How would you score these two successful predictions and what possible value could those scores have? Where was intelligence applied here?
