It's so intuitive he does it naturally

Not like that arrogant metric, for which he can find no useful representation...for some reason

A reason that is clearly about the utility of metric itself rather than one's constant use of imperial.
Counterpoint: it’s totally embarrassing that the US public had to learn about the serious issues of myocarditis amongst young men and blood clots from J&J from Israeli and European public health, and that it took several months, and arguably more than a year for US public health to fully acknowledge the myocarditis issue with US data from VSD [0] (let’s put to the side what a mess VAERS is).

European countries acted swiftly to increase the time between primary series doses for anyone under 40 (give or take depending on country), and also restricted Moderna for young men as it’s higher dose produced many more myocarditis cases than Pfizer. US regulators for some reason seem to have a parochial view of data provenance and didn’t take these common sense approaches.

The key difference is that anyone can install WhatsApp or Telegram. An Android user cannot use Apple messaging. It's the only scenario where the only solution is buying a $1000 device (versus downloading a free app to your existing device).
It depends on where in the world you are as to what "real clock time" means. UTC is an actual timezone ;)
Easy solution. Just don't read logs.

Speaking from my 26 years of experience never reading logs.
I think you’re discounting relatively cheap fixes like mindset and pushing your kids to succeed at home. There’s plenty you can do besides throwing money at a problem. A lot of first generation Indian and Chinese immigrants exclusively rely on those methods, and this is usually after a day of working long hours at intensive jobs.
I have over 1000 sites in my password management system. 250 keys doesn't seem like enough. What is the key size...? Is this even 1MB of storage?
It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me.
SMS sucks anyways. As a personal device, just remove phone and sms and give me data.

The fact that international calling and texting can cost a ton of money when I can message someone over the internet for free via wifi is nutty.

The problem with articles of this nature is that anecdotes are not data.

Clearly if you choose to take a vaccine there's risk. It's easy to get someone to have a story of "I did this. That happened".

Maybe the two things are related. Maybe they're not. Maybe the science data is fudged. Maybe there is short-term gain for long-term pain. Maybe this, maybe that.

Now sure, we have study protocols. We collect data, analyse statistics. All very dry, and easily dismissed ("that's what they -want- you to believe.)

You cannot logic someone out of a position they weren't logicd into. You cannot fight emotion with science. Ultimately we all just make a choice. Whatever choice we make, we live, or die, with the consequences.

At this point I choose to be vaccinated. It's not risk free. My mate chooses not to. That's not risk free either. Honestly right now I'm not interested in arguing about it anymore. We all gotta die of something.
The UK version doesn't work either. https://appgpandemic.org/news/yellow-card
iMessage and Facetime are a huge part of this. I don't want to have 5 different apps - Whatsapp, Telegraph, Google Allo, etc. to communicate with different groups of folks. The point of these devices is to make communication easier. Google really dropped the ball on not making an inclusive messaging and video chat solution.
> Is land tax really more propaganda resistent?

Yes. Capital interests have spent the last 50 years laying minefields around the concepts of socialism. "Socialism is when more taxes," "socialism is when unions stop your employer from paying you more than your lazy coworker," "socialism is when you own nothing (as in property, not just assets)." Focusing on small, concrete reforms allow you to navigate around the mines.

> Isn't class conflict a direct and inevitable result of private ownership of capital?

No, it depends on the terms of ownership. Finite terms and progressive taxation can prevent the exponential runaway that establishes and perpetuates class structures.

> What kind of arrangement makes companies pay more for labor than they have to?

Policy that makes labor less desperate and therefore have higher bargaining power. There are many levers to pull.
> blockchain is for securing data, not for storing it

Hmm that cuts to the core of it! The supply chain world thinks blockchain is a shared database, not knowing how old shared databases are.

Looking at OpenDSU now. Would be good to connect, there's a contact link on my site.
Impracticable would have been a better word. Audiologists typically aren't just around the corner, and even if they were, the high-pitched noise may no longer be audible in their office.
I think that’s part of the idea of the whole VAG group though. The A6/Passat/Superb are all the same platform tweaked slightly for people trying to achieve different things. I’d say it’s a great setup.
"With an average age just shy of 16, the respondents to this poll were nearly all born in a post-iPhone world."

Okay, it's 2023 [1], the iPhone came out in 2007 [2], that is 16 years [3] ago. A person born in the post-iPhone world is thus 16 years or younger[4]. While the average usually refers to the arithmetic mean and not the median [5], it is good statistical practice to prune extreme outliers [6], and thus have the mean and median relatively close together.

Given all this, it seems to me quite likely about half of the poll respondents were "born in a post-iPhone world." Last time I checked, 'about half' and 'nearly all' are kinda different.

why are there such super-sloppy mistakes in "nearly all" (technical meaning) articles?

I'm in the UK, I don't know anyone that doesn't have WhatsApp.
I've been in open office plans where wearing earbuds/headphones was seen as hostile/negative towards others. This was many years ago, but... not that many (in the mid 2000s).
I’m familiar with this of course, but it’s conditioned on a chat program that actually tries to appear human, and the credulous reactions to ELIZA were mostly lay people who otherwise hadn’t used computers before. Likewise, some people — famously including some software engineers — believe that certain AI chatbots are sentient, which also doesn’t falsify the linked study. (This argument holds regardless of whether you consider AI chatbots to be sentient or not.)
What about having other extended family members live there? Or does it have to be the specific people on the original lease.
Perhaps they were talking about test subjects that haven't yet been exposed to computers.
The UK version has issues as well https://appgpandemic.org/news/yellow-card
if a phone is tied to a govt ID, and the phone is required for interaction with benefits or protections, then the phone is a place where the spy happens, including location basically all the time. "you can turn the phone off" or "you can not take it with you" sounds OK at first, but realize that the critical parts of your life, to sleep, purchase and go to places of social importance, will naturally be included in the location tracking.
Nah, why? Apple has delivered a lot of innovative features through iMessage. SMS texting used to be trash, until Apple iMessage forced them to improve the underlying protocol. It's STILL not as good as iMessage (memojis, extensions and games like Giphy, voice messages, etc)

Paying for SMS messages, when it costs phone companies literally nothing, is what should be illegal.
I don’t have a Thinkpad, but the plastic surface of the keyboard feels like a slight step down from other keyboards I’ve used (like my Logitech MX Keys). It’s not as smooth — the plastic of the key is rough, almost chalkboard-like.
I haven’t used it in-depth enough to determine any pet peeves about the layout. But overall, I like it.
If anyone ever offers an upgraded key cap set, I might go for it.
Janet Language
Janet is a functional and imperative programming language. It runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, BSDs, and should run on other systems with some porting. The entire language (core library, interpreter, compiler, assembler, PEG) is less than 1MB. You can also add Janet scripting to an application by embedding a single C source file and a single header.
Thanks, but that isn't really normalized to anything.. The average American should get food poisoning every 7 years (48 million a year) and I have an upset stomach I would associate with at least one food risk in the 12 hours prior more like yearly, but I rarely get flu level sick, even from a flu, certainly not in an average 7 year period.

I think most people simply haven't looked into food safety material enough to integrate a probability that they had a food related factor when they feel sick and therefore conclude that they have no food risks in their daily habits that would equate to a small risk of a major health incident in a centralized kitchen, etc.
Unix Commands Explained Interactively
That could be true and still not the whole story, because using an iPhone and having more money are correlated. If a kid is obviously rich and uses an Android, does the Android count as a mark against him?
Wow, that's fantastic. I have the 12th-gen board (bought it, along with the full Framework laptop, when they started offering it), and gaming perf is ok for what I play, but not great. There are a few other issues (like severe spurious thermal throttling) that make gaming even harder (not great to be playing a FPS and suddenly all 20 cores are locked to 400MHz and stay that way for 15 minutes for no reason).

I get shit battery life (~3 hours), probably because I have 30 Firefox windows open with a total of 2k tabs or so (my fault, I should clean it up), so at least one core is at 25% or so all the time, or worse. And of course compiling things or watching video drags that down real fast.

I can't justify another upgrade after having this one for only a year (especially since I'll need new RAM), but maybe I'll think about an AMD board in 2025 or so.
That exactly describes the groping towards 'a more correct model'. Which is towards the truth, surely? If not then what?
Yeah, some of the wifi drivers aren't available in the stock W11 image.
Well it's obvious, in the US at least. iMessage is like 99% of the reason. Everyone using iMessage to group chat, facetime, etc. Then there are some of the non obvious. Remember when Instagram and snapchat took a screenshot of the screen instead of using the camera? That was embarrassing. Then you've got Airpods and Apple watch, those speak for themselves. The only decent tablets, if you listed the top 5 would all be iPads.

Android has nothing to pull teenagers away from iPhones. But you can sideload and play emulators and customize the launcher! You might say, but in the end they want to have a group chat with friends and not be limited to 20 because one friend has an android. Or facetime and not use whatever Google decided to name their new messaging app 20 minutes ago. Blue vs Green is real and there's nothing Android can do about it other than lobby the government to open iMessage to android, and I don't see that happening in the US, maybe in the EU but there I think whatsapp took over and it's cross platform.
I tried out the Assistants API and noticed that similarly bad performance, but with a catch. Apparently if you combine all the files into one single text file, then the performance is amazing. But if it's spread across multiple files the performance is pretty bad.

in this particular case, most of the important/needle-moving work being done in climate modeling is done with a hell of a lot of context about prior work. PhDs have that, by necessity.

They're also good at prioritizing outcomes, rather than other stuff.
Fascinating write-up. I have some experience with log monitoring and alerting systems on cloud infrastructure, and there seem to be some fascinating parallels. Some of the issues described, including especially "Good at catching known-pattern issues, but not great for discovering novel issues."

Large distributed system logs, in the raw, are straight noise. None of the data has meaning until you add a layer of interpretation on top of it, and that interpretation often involves actual software creativity. Is a load spike indicative of a bug in your handler services or your key demographic all logging on at once (because you're, say, a football-focused service and Halftime at the Superbowl just started)? Are spikes in 400 queries on a Monday morning indicative of some kind of cyclical error in your infrastructure or did a client build a broken automated job that fires once a week and tries to feed your system copies of the old query schema? Oh no, a surge in 404s... Did a whole chunk of your site stop serving, or did someone kick off the world's most poorly-tuned web crawler and point an army of instances of it at your domain?

You can query the data for these things, but in general that is the flow of information: the data doesn't tell you anything, you ask it. You come up with queries against the aggregated data, identify and discard obvious noise, and decide whether the data supports a hypothesis that something is actually wrong in the world.
You can buy a new iPhone SE for $400 bucks.
I guess the question is whether that matters. The average internet user today looks a lot different from the average internet user 20 or 30 years ago. The internet looked different but the demographics looked different as well. The average internet user primarily uses Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok because that is the internet they enjoy.
For what it's worth, I had never heard of a rent-stabilized hotel room either. (American) From some other comments here, it sounds like the accommodations were more of an apartment than a hotel room.
> The weird power supply limitations for using the board standalone, requiring at least a 100W supply for still less than full performance unless any battery is attached, also limits the flexibility that makes these boards attractive outside of the laptop case, whether bought for that intent or as a post-upgrade reuse.

That's because Framework doesn't want to risk getting liable for damaged power supplies. With a battery, the power management circuitry can make sure that, bar an outright shortcut, the load on the PSU will not ever be more than the allowed power. Without it, there is no buffer.

How do they suck now?

How is an android phone a worse iPhone? Genuine questions, my opinions are entirely opposite and I would like to understand your perspective.
It doesn't refuse to work. It behaves differently and yields better results with politeness. Coming from a large language model, the occurence of this phenomena is intriguing for some of us.
I admittedly just got my Framework a couple of days ago, but I found scaling the text size to be sufficient in quite a lot of cases, at least for me, in XFCE.
> On an unrelated note: people often ask me my opinion about GPT / AI. I ask them if they've used it. "No". "You know it's free right?" "Yes". WTF? This mindset is bizarre to me! What is it?

Free in terms of money doesn't mean it doesn't come with a cost. Time, at least. To try ChatGPT you need to create an account, many people hate creating accounts, you have credentials to manage, you give out your email address to who knows who might spam you. And there are privacy concerns, justified in this cases as some users prompts have been known to leak, and who knows how secure it is.

Maybe it is obvious to you that ChatGPT is safer than offers from Nigerian princes, but it is not obvious to anyone, that's why they are asking. And I prefer my friends to ask me "stupid" questions than to ask no one and get scammed.

And you say "on an unrelated note". This is not unrelated. A nice UI lowers the cost in terms of time and effort. If you are using GPT professionally, it directly translates into money.
In the typical socialist divide of different kinds of property a sewing machine that you use yourself would not be considered privately owned capital (private property). In general "private property" are things that yield profits without the owner doing the work. If you rented out the sewing machine to somebody else to work for, the things get a bit blurrier. If you own a sweatshop with 100 sewing machines, it's clearly "private property".

The socialist terminology around the different forms of property is really bad and causes a lot of confusion.
Cops and prison guards aren't workers in the sense that labor unions are based on. They are part of the infrastructure that determines who works, where & how, under what conditions, and to whose benefit. I don't mean to dehumanize them but in the mechanism of labor relations their role is more related to coordination and coercion than it is to production.

Like if everyone's bosses organized, what they would have isn't a labor union but something else. Police unions use the nomenclature of labor unions but they are actually a different thing.
It doesn't make it "Silicon Valley's worldview", though.
iPhones had headphone jacks initially, too, BTW.
You're absolutely right, just one correction in that Methylphenidate is not an amphetamine (derivate).
Our Vision for the Rust Specification
Indeed. There are zero reports in VAERS of people who took no vaccine and died of a preventable disease. There are plenty of reports of people who took a vaccine against a respiratory disease and then caught a different respiratory disease soon after. If one evaluates risk only from the VAERS dataset, vaccines will look quite risky.

As someone in grad school for related topics, this stuff will undoubtedly surpass physical weather models (climate change is a different story). As I chart my own research direction, I wonder what kinds of problems meteorology will still be working on in a few decades? AI models like this will render many physical models obsolete. And with the leaps made recently by cube satellites and other remote sensing tech, direct observations may soon no longer be sparse. So what does that leave? Understanding the physical principles? Yes, and doing so will augment these advances. But what else? And what kind of applied problems could the physical principles solve? At some point, AI weather forecasts may cross the threshold of being "good enough" for 99% of use cases. I don't doubt that there is much more important science to be done (I recall someone famously claiming science was "done" in the 1800s), but admittedly it takes some creative thought to imagine. The field will have to evolve. I don't know if it is possible to know how it will evolve before it does. Just something I wonder about.

Also, I certainly don't mean to detract from this achievement . This is great work and it is truly awesome to see these kinds of leaps. There is plenty of vanity in science and the urge for self-preservation, but such advances in weather forecasting will save so many lives and do a lot of good in the world. I wholeheartedly cheer on the scientists behind this work and am excited to see what is around the corner.
Also the new MX datatypes (https://www.opencompute.org/blog/amd-arm-intel-meta-microsof...), from the article:

"Manufactured on a 5-nanometer TSMC process, Maia has 105 billion transistors — around 30 percent fewer than the 153 billion found on AMD’s own Nvidia competitor, the MI300X AI GPU. “Maia supports our first implementation of the sub 8-bit data types, MX data types, in order to co-design hardware and software,” says Borkar. “This helps us support faster model training and inference times.”"
The "now playing" on the always on display is a game changer for me. I love it.

Does any other phone has this?
Hmm

This chip is said to perform 25 TOPS.
A A100 80GB SXM is said to perform 1248 TOPS.
Which is an entire card not a single CPU.

You could theoretically achieve the same with
50 M1076 processors.

Would the benefit be any of:

* a lot cheaper
* more energy efficient.
* small size
* easier to mass produce?
iPhones start at $400, new. Not exactly a budget buster. Pretty much the same as a Pixel Xa.

'teach a kid in their youth, and they will not stray' or something like that.
I don't think it is relevant to complain about lack of a headphone jack in a discussion of young people. Young people want wireless earbuds, those are very fashionable now, so the lack of a jack hardly matters. Generally people complaining about the headphone jack are comparative oldies.
SMS is completely interoperable.

What you want is for Apple to be forced to extend its proprietary system to non-Apple systems, but when you say it like that it's obvious what an unfair nonstarter it is.
I'm just saying that rolling leases have a very real incentive problem compared to other approaches. So ongoing taxation (i.e. LVT) may be a better all-around solution. Policymakers can also monetize future tax revenues, by taking on more government debt; but this tends to be a lot more visible and make bond investors more upset compared to the obscurity of land sales.

40 years ago news organizations (news papers, radio, and TV) had strict policies that the ad department (which was always in house - never outsourced to doubleclick/google) was not allowed to talk to the news department. You bought an ad because you wanted to reach people who wanted news from orginizations would "bite the hand that fed them". Internet ads don't seem to have that. They could, the culture existed before in other forms and wouldn't be hard.
It seems you might like GNU/Linux phones even more.
I am a strong believer in not storing logs, as they tend not to be useful after a few minutes, other than security logs. But I do find real time logs to be useful information for incident response.
