Thanks for the long winded justification, but all of these are strictly worse than simply leaving my package at the doorstep. I'm 40 years old and in my entire life I have had exactly one package go missing after being delivered... that risk is not worth even considering "a 5 minute walk" to get every packages, nevermind having them delivered to random neighbors -- that's just beyond the pale, absolutely absurd.
Something else must have been wrong, because that's not the way QoS works IIUC. MVNO subscriber equipment receives the same signal strength as the carrier's own subscribers do, but packets are deprioritized, resulting in occasionally slower service with higher latency. But battery draining isn't supposed to result.

This is exactly why I am for a free for all. If we make it so only big license holders and big tech can create these models, you'll have to go through some proprietary subscription service that goes down every couple days, while the creators get paid a couple of cent.

Consider the impact of those things failing. Your chair breaking might injure you in a way that takes months or years to heal. The fridge failing might spoil an entire batch of food. A window failing at the wrong time could cause massive damage to the interior of the house.

Part of it is that UX/UI designers are hired based on their portfolio. This imposes a bias towards those who can wow their interviews with flashy mockups/workflows on figma.

If it comes down between someone whose design looks like it came out of Win98 but has the information density of a terminal, and someone whose design looks cool but has the information density of a picture book, most teams pick the latter. Those same people go on to design the applications that get shipped.

The OP is right in that we lost the ability to design something like mIRC - the people doing the hiring value form over function.

> if every time you have a cold, you get antibiotics and they make you feel better, it is placebo.

Not necessarily. Azithromycin, a common antibiotic used for upper respiratory infections, has anti-inflammatory effects separate from it's antibacterial effects[1]. So it may make patients feel better even if they have a viral infection. Thus perpetuating the patient's belief that they "needed" antibiotics.

I'm sure it's a good calculus for some. Personally I tried one of these and the service was fine the majority of the time, but that savings doesn't look nearly as good when you're traveling for work and can no longer access Slack because you're in a major metro and don't have wifi passwords.

The fact is you're more likely to want cellular data exactly when the MVNO is going to get you de-prioritized. If you never leave home, like a coworker of mine, it's a great deal. If you travel for work it's a recipe for frustration.
Life on earth is so specifically bound to Earth's conditions, I don't understand how anybody could really say this.

I've no doubt there's things like life in other places. I have no reason to assume they'll be that strictly similar what we call life here, and we may not even recognize them as such. To imagine they are similar to earth-life to me seems more anthropo/geocentric.

Arguably our obsession with looking for stuff similar to us is perhaps blinding us to the true diversity in the cosmos.

That’s not true at all; you can’t generally distinguish viral infections from bacterial infections by the length of illness. [charitably, this is somewhat a useful rule of thumb for many cold like illnesses, but the GP knew how long they were sick…and Covid is a good example of something some people are very sick from for a long time.]

Why do you think any real expertise is required for a situation like this? It’s a simple reality that medicine, like any field, is brimming with practitioners who do not follow best practices and even many that are not good at their job. Doctors make terrible decisions all the time. I can give you numerous anecdotes in my life where doctors were dangerously wrong even when presented with very clear evidence.
A psychiatrist I love to listen to on YouTube, Dr. K, says that what you are explaining is caused by not giving the brain enough rest time (overstimulation). He says rest time is necessary for the brain the kind of sort through/debug things.

Much like sleep, if you go without for long enough, you will randomly start sleeping whenever you get the chance. So, when your brain is constantly "on" and your brain finally gets a chance to calm down, it will start running through all the shit that was blocked out due to being overstimulated.

Not as a general rule, although it's common.

I'm using one that's only deprioritized after the first 50 GB per month, and even that only ever on low-rate 5G and LTE.
Network boot? I think this project is genius - considering it’s solving an interesting problem and not reinventing the wheel.

I was half-expecting a Go or Rust utility but so pleasantly surprised to find a bunch of configurations, and that’s it!

Never really fully understood what systemd does. It’s basically the star of the show here. Is it an alternative to init? I honestly thought it was a user level service designed to provide a lightweight abstraction around cgroups and init. I haven’t looked into it too deep - but I have a feeling my assumption is wrong.

It's not just the direct cost of a branch, it's the downstream costs as well. Removing (or automatically folding branches in a compiler) can lead to optimizations after the branch.

E.g.

if (foo > 0) {
x = 3;
} else {
x = 7;
}
return x * 9;

If the compiler (or programmer) knows foo is greater than zero (even if we don't know what it actually is), then the whole thing folds into:

return 27;

That also means that foo is not even used, so it might get dead-code eliminated.

If that gets inlined, then the optimizations just keep stacking up.

(not that the article was about that, it's just one implication of removing branches: downstream code can be optimized knowing more).

So, in summary, compilers matter.

The details are a bit sparse, but sometimes it's possible to find the QoS class/level listed for a given MVNO and plan, and some of them are indeed identical to that of the network's first-party plans.
I moved off of AT&T when they stopped subsidizing phones (7-8 years back) and have been with Cricket Wireless since; works great, the only thing I'm missing is roaming in Europe (I usually pick up a cheap local SIM, but would prefer to keep my US number connected for the inevitable "fraud" calls from the credit cards when using them in Europe).
I see the same pithy stuff in woodworking and software too!

I'm a huge fan of a book called The Inner Game of Tennis. Something I picked up from that book: I think a lot of advice works not because it's correct, but because it causes craftsmen to observe a thing they weren't observing before. "Am I overusing commas?" is a useful but unanswerable question :)

EDIT: The book also makes a strong case against judgmental language, so "overusing" commas is probably not the best word. So instead, maybe, "What do commas make sentences feel like?"
If you work alone on a very complex project, the task can be so huge it discourages you. You will have to spend too much time on it before getting the slightest results. Coding is hard, bugs can be depressing, and when you are alone, you struggle alone. It can be daunting. The more complex the project is, the more daunting it is when things don't work. On the other hand, when you have another technical cofounder, first of all you can share the work and accomplish more. Second, having someone to bounce ideas with, and having to coordinate, actually helps you clarify your ideas and thus makes those ideas more robust. When you code alone, sometimes you get into a rabbit hole and you loose sight of what is important, you neglect some key details etc. A technical cofounder acts as an accountability partner, pushing you to always do your best because you know your work affects another person, motivating you when you are down and you motivate them when they are down. Having a non-technical cofounder can be nice too, but it really depends on the idea. If the idea needs more business sense than technical prouesse, then technical + non-technical is good. But if the idea implies a high level of technical prouesse, then you definitely need a technical cofounder, else you just won't make it. For example, nobody will try to train a 70B LLM alone, you need a team (and a lot of GPUs).
No international roaming (or crazy prices) is one of the big downsides of MVNOs. And no, I'm not interested in buying a local sim card. Roaming is quite affordable these days with the big three and the hassle is not worth it for me.

If you don't need that, I think trying some MVNOs make sense.

Another item is hotspot - typically MVNOs upsell that into a higher tier plan, although presumably not all of them.

That said, if aren't willing to bounce around, prepay months, etc... and are careful about buying new phones on decent promotions, I think the big three are not nearly as much more expensive as the article suggests.

EDIT: I should say, I do have to make phone calls with my existing number, and can't always use wifi or app calling, so I am more inclined to use roaming. I guess for many esim apps work well.
> one of the factors affecting whether the act of copying is fair use, according to Congress, is “the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work”. Today’s generative AI models can clearly be used to create works that compete with the copyrighted works they are trained on. So I don’t see how using copyrighted works to train generative AI models of this nature can be considered fair use.

Fair use's factors each weigh for or against a finding of fair use, as opposed to needing to strictly satisfy all four. In particular, what machine learning is likely heavily resting on is that "The more transformative the new work, the less will be the significance of other factors" (Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music).

For instance, Google Translate was trained on translator's works, and may in part compete with the market for translations, but I'd claim is transformative by nature of adding something new (instant on-demand translation of novel text) and not merely superseding the static works it was trained on.

How to decide "the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work" is also a bit of a gray area and one of the questions the US Copyright Office were seeking comments on. Should it be about the impact models have on the market for that general class class of works? Or, the extent to which training on a specific work impacted the market for that specific work compared to if the model was not trained on that work?
This all about the process of going from nobody agreeing to everybody agreeing. In HR policies, impact is all, intent nothing. However, you're kind of saying that once one person feels slurred, everybody must pivot. It can be addressed by the feeler changing how they feel, too.
I didn't know that. Respect!
I find that report itself a little strange. Most gp are not associated with hospitals (at least near me). So I wonder if that skews the statistics. I only go to the hospital when I'm having major surgery.
There are a few big MVNOs (like Straight Talk) that work across multiple carriers - I bet in the face of deprioritization the phone tried to switch to another network, and kept doing that as the new carrier also experienced congestion.
PST or UTC?
I've been impressed watching the crews meticulously replace each cable assembly of the George Washington Bridge over the past year or so. All the work that doesn't require disconnected cables is done in parallel, so you can get a sense of the whole process just driving across once (they've finished the north side so you want to drive into Manhattan for the current view).

It's more or less the same as code migrations we're doing on a regular basis, done far more diligently.
I try not to do it, but I’m absolutely guilty of this. When you start writing, it’s sort of the lowest common denominator topic to write about. You’ll be sitting there thinking what should I write about? So you start writing about writing itself.

DMCA defines copying as theft. Derivative artwork requires paying the owner of the original copyright.

> A "derivative work" is a work based upon one or more preexisting works, such as a translation, musical arrangement, dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture version, sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any other form in which a work may be recast, transformed, or adapted. A work consisting of editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications which, as a whole, represent an original work of authorship, is a "derivative work."

Let's tick all that apply:

- based upon one or more pre-existing works [yep]
- (...) any other form in which a work may be recast, transformed, or adapted. [yep]

"Sufficiently transformed" isn't enough to not consider it clearly derivative. The code takes in existing copyrighted art, transforms it, and shits out derivatives. Derivative artwork requires a license to the derivative rights to exist, otherwise it's in violation of existing copyright law. This is an incredibly simple case to argue. The derivatives literally cannot exist without that which they are derived from.

Every doctor I have had has recommend taking breaks if and when possible. I try to do it myself, and I think it makes a difference. The research on tolerance to medications is not well agreed upon. I am not expert, but I do not see any biological way that the human body would not gain a tolerance to some degree when constantly exposed to an exogenous substance that alters dopamine, GABA, etc..

Nicotine tolerance is real. So is caffeine, cocaine, meth, etc.. I do not see how our medications would be any different.

I'm kind of tired of the "programmer's take on craft that's been around for centuries longer than programming" genre. Writers have been using "pseudoprose" for eons, they are called "outlines" and "notes". Just like we don't necessarily need programming languages for recipes in the kitchen.

What's up with programmers and their urge to ignore the rich history of any given subject only to fart out a piece on "here's how we could suck all the life and art out of X and make it just like programming!"

No particular offense intended to the author. General ignorance of other art forms and desperate, half-baked, square-peg-in-round-hole attempts to understand everything in terms of programming is just a definite style of thinking that I find extremely frustrating, and it's not clear to me why programmers in particular seem to be so susceptible to such totalizing, reductive forms of thought. You don't see many writers going around writing pieces on "gerunds for code" and things like that. Jeez.
I've known and worked with and been friends with Randy since 1999 and agree with your assessment: cool, down to earth, and talented.

But also very modest, so he'd probably be flustered by these comments here so I will make a point of not making him aware of them ;-)

Anyways, I think you could probably make a go of the Kawari extensions in emulation yourself. And to be clear, the changes you'd want would be in VICE, not BMC64 -- which is just a fork of VICE. I have read the VICE source before and it's fairly straightforward what's going on there.

And in fact, I recall part of Randy's test harness for Kawari has been to run the same program through both VICE and Kawari and compare output. So by implementing in VICE you'd be helping extend the test harness.
