A:

1. Kids are either great, or are terrible but interacting with them is great, or it's terrible but interacting with them makes you a better person.

2. Use earplugs

3. You're lucky to be in an airplane at all, so shut up and deal with it

Ted Nelson’s “intertwingularity” isn’t far off from the data entry problem described. He argues for universal data access where duplication is obsolete. Imagine form data as a single, linkable object across the web, editable in one place, reflected everywhere—no re-typing, just seamless auto-fill. That’s the unrealized potential of hypertext.

Thanks for the thesis; looks interesting, will have a close look at it. Actually, I'm not really sure whether "Lisp has always been an elegant and productive way to represent and build music"; from my point of view the optimal way to represent music incorporating all relevant dimensions and relations has yet to be found; actually Dannenberg himself switched to SAL, away from Lisp (see his algorithmic composition book).

The only problem with this is the advent of streaming original content. Netflix, for example, has some really good stuff among the dross that they have produced, and I doubt it'll ever see a physical distribution.
Yeah, not showing the tedious 'Accept cookies' button that numbs you into clicking 'Accept' on any website for something that you could easily and more thoroughly opt-out of by using an appropriate browser extension instead. Privacy nightmare!
They accept this because cord cutting pioneers pronounced streaming as a nirvana for all the problems with cable. They did this without ever having the slightest doubt or thought on how things will play out in near future once traditional and streaming companies learn about consumers such heavy dependence on streaming.

Normal consumers who are not obsessed with things behind the scene took the glorious streaming future at its face value.
Of course that's true, but it is also a tautology. Lada existed because there was demand for cars in the Soviet Union and they met some of that demand. With more efficient production and advertising to juice demand, it could have been as big as GM. However, it also functioned with its lower production level.

Patagonia existed when they made mostly pitons and they existed when they were a niche brand and they exist as a major brand. It's hard sometimes, especially with financing schemes, to shrink after growth, but many businesses function fine with a satisfactory market size to keep operations running.

As an investor, I might not put money in a company that declared it wanted to slow down replacement of its products because of the environment by building longer-lasting products. But as a consumer, I would definitely consider buying them.

Yes, that’s true. That’s where infoleaks come in. Plus a lot of crashes are likely not even noticed, or blamed on the software just being buggy. Repeatedly crashing a fork()‘ing server might just give you enough information to reconstruct its memory layout (which doesn’t vary between parent and child processes after a fork(), which is why OpenSSH does an execve() of itself after fork()’ing).

To play devil's advocate, there was a potentially legitimate complaint about increased weight/size and potential loss of features (Waterproofing, durability, etc) during the earlier stages of these consumer products' existences when requiring these sophisticated features would represent a relatively larger burden on their creating entities.

However now that we've seen the establishment of these consumer systems, I think it's quite fair to begin requiring the corporations making these gadgets to respect the environments in which they were able to flourish while incurring/leveraging many externalized costs. These corporations won't begin to reduce their rate of externalized environmental debts without government regulation until it begins to damage their profit and forecasts, by which point it will be far too late...

Unfortunately, this marketplace has only the illusion of consumer choice because the flagship mobile devices are unilaterally designed by entrenched trillion-dollar companies. Beginning the modularization of these ubiquitous tools through their most environmentally-impactful components seems like an encouraging start to creating a 'real' marketplace for mobile phone technology. As others in this thread have pointed out, this regulation will require infrastructure to be most effectively and can most certainly be screwed up/sabotaged to the point of tragic ineffectiveness but I believe that if there is a place to begin this struggle for consumer freedoms, it is clearly with batteries.

No... TBW scales with the size of the disk. The 870 EVO is not uniformly rated for 2400TBW. Different technologies will have different TBW per GB of storage, but for a line of SSDs with the same technology, it almost always scales linearly by the amount of storage.

The 250GB model of the 870 EVO is warrantied for 150TBW. Many of the laptops Apple sells with 8GB of RAM only come with a 256GB SSD. Surely nobody is buying an Apple laptop with 8GB of RAM and a 4TB SSD.

Is 5 months a good enough lifespan for a computer?

I am personally skeptical that most people would be seeing 1TBW per day, but I firmly believe that 8GB is unjustifiably low. Apple offers 24GB as an option, so they could (and should) offer 12GB as the base spec if they're unwilling to make 16GB the base spec.

"Warrantied TBW for 870 EVO: 150 TBW for 250 GB model, 300 TBW for 500 GB model, 600 TBW for 1 TB model, 1,200 TBW for 2 TB model and 2,400 TBW for 4 TB model"[0]

"And even if the battery would be the problem you can go to a phone repair shop and get it replaced there. There's no need for me to easily be able to do it."

This one is easy to counter. For the majority of low and medium end phones, by the time you need your first battery replacement, the cost of having it done in a shop will generally be close to, or exceed, the value of the phone itself. The last time I had a phone with replaceable batteries, I was able to purchase several spare batteries for a fraction of the cost of a shop replacement.
What do you use for a capture device? I'm currently using a Tivo Roamio (with lifetime subscription) and love it, but it's at least 7-8 years old so thinking about what's next. Only real complaint is remote viewing needs a really solid connection and sometimes just doesn't work.

I see fairies, but they aren't supernatural spirits or something like that. It's similar in nature to deja vu, so if you don't interpret deja vu as prediction of future, fairies are similar. The Predator's optical camouflage is inspired by this phenomenon, fairies look similar to that, just smaller.
You can be amazed of its density, but that is safer to do with the lighter, but much cheaper, tungsten.

Most chemical elements with atomic numbers equal or greater than that of lutetium are very slightly radioactive (with a few exceptions like iridium, gold, mercury and lead). Rhenium is one of the most radioactive of them, but it is several orders of magnitude less radioactive than thorium and uranium.

Nevertheless, its radioactivity is so weak that it can be handled safely with bare hands. Even so, making some jewelry kept permanently on the skin is unlikely to be a good idea.
Very interesting and basically confirms that GPT-4 turbo is a faster but dumber model. When a task doesn't rely on memorization of the training set, it reasons similarly well to GPT-4. Where memorization is helpful, it performs worse (due to quantization-induced "memory loss").

This also makes me look at GPT-4 as a "weak reasoner with a lot of knowledge". That really aligns with my experience where it is immensely helpful and has a superhuman knowledge base but still needs handholding to solve real problems.
Thanks for the info, I'll check these out.

Interesting! I like your triangle square pattern as well. I haven't seen that before. You may already know that in the landscape architecture world your versaille-like tilings are frequently called ashlar patterns. I think they typically use periodic tilings. "AutoCAD ashlar drafting patterns" are available all over the place.
I'm confused what this means. Are patterns of light and shadow not also light, and bound by the speed of light (on the upper end)? How can patterns consisting of light (or the absence of it) move faster than light?
This is a little further away IMO, as it doesn't have the `v1 or v2` construction.

What you are describing isn’t how any functional capitalist system has worked.

Predatory pricing is illegal, and the first sale doctrine is core to how capitalism works. Similarly, current copyright terms are laughably long.

The problem here is not capitalism, it is corruption: The US has laws that will not be enforced, or that have been modified via regulatory capture / bribery.

By the same standard that is used for evaluating the situation in Gaza, namely the equation of civil administrations with an affiliated military whose reputation is marred by attacks against civilians for allegedly political purposes (the definition of terrorism), all public hospitals in Israel are operated by a terrorist organization.

But of course, that's because it's a very stupid standard.

I think you’ve got it backwards: “Piracy is a service problem, not a pricing problem.” is the thing that people on this forum say.

When I was a teenager in the late 00’s, I could totally rent “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” from Blockbuster, but I didn’t have any money. Once I got a job and had money, I started paying for streaming services because they were more convenient, and I’ll likely keep doing so.

But my friends outside of tech who make less money are pissed off about the unbundling and rising prices of streaming services, and I won’t be surprised if some of them switch from paying multiple expensive streaming services to paying for one of the VPNs that advertise on every YouTube video everywhere.

You wouldn't exist if your parents hadn't met and reproduced, and if their parents hadn't met and reproduced, and so on until you get to our monocellular ancestor.

Years ago I read some theory that part of the social pressure to create early states with centralized power and militaries in places with grain-centric agriculture was about the ease of stealing harvested grain. By comparison, places that had root-crops which could be left in the ground and harvested as needed, thieves could not quickly/easily take a lot of value, so there was less need to guard resources.

The current article is kind of a reminder that the safety of crops / the difficulty of theft is variable with context; it's not just an attribute of the crop-type. If this continues, I wonder if we'd see tree-owners engage in something like tree-spiking, so it's literally unsafe to cut their trees.

Netflix was started with streaming in mind from the outset. It's in the name, for one thing. They didn't pivot, (they only stopped their DVD mailing service this year, I believe,) they just started streaming as soon as the hardware, software, and network could be built up to a point where it was feasible financially.

The social union happened anyway via the backdoor (as always), when the ECB decided it would do "whatever it takes" to stop bond rates rising on Eurozone countries. That opened the door to arbitrarily large wealth transfers from richer to poorer countries, which were then ploughed directly into the benefits system (Greece is an example of this).
