I don't see anyone making this weirdly-specific claim. However, it's widely acknowledged that sufficient battery storage to guarantee national grid-wide power on-demand, sufficient for a modern industrial economy, is not currently feasible, in both economic and practical terms.

The requirement to either pay a lot for or learn how to do mastering always seemed unnecessary to me.

Stuff like mixing, equalizing, sidechaining and eternal sample hunts all take a lot of time as well... It's why making music is one of the hobbies I had to let go.

Can't wait to get my hands on an AI powered DAW that skips all the tedious stuff!

Am I still the one making the music? Well, I'd argue the 300+ hours I'll probably sink into finetuning all the other stuff will say yes.

Thanks. I hadn't dug into that link, but I did based on your comment. It is a Congressional investigation that is rooted on a report from The Markup [1] that, as you note isn't about an accidental breach by Google, but one where multiple companies send extensive PII to Google about site visitors. While not necessarily a "breach", I think this lead of personal data plays to Signal article's point though. The Markup article's git repo with HAR files of what was sent to Google was convincing.[2]

I found it a more practical alternative to the Arch AUR in many cases (especially the -bin packages which don't have any benefit of being a part of a "build" system anyways)

Similar (perhaps slightly lower given verification efforts) concerns about integrity/supply chain (who is maintaining this package really? Is it a clean build from the correct source?), but distro independent and often works good enough with some exceptions. Sandboxing is limited but better than nothing.

Once I somewhat understood the process and where everything is on GitHub (fairly transparent with CI stuff) I felt a bit more comfortable with things, but a lot of the store interfaces leave a lot of questions unanswered about the source (location) of the software.

If something is out of date I can usually make a GitHub issue and it'll get sorted soon enough.

Not the worst experience I've had.
Same here. And I put in my calendar to make it obvious to others that it's there. I used to put in in the issue-tracker, too, but lately our team manager started reducing the "normal" expected story points to a level that reflects the time left in the iteration after the average amount of "unplanned" work is considered, which also works.
It’s trivial to implement this in a legal and user friendly way, just make the save button make clear that it’ll persist, or even add a persistence checkbox. Demanding consent as an aggressive popup when it isn’t necessary for anything but ad tracking is not a good faith compliance effort, it’s an attempt to avoid real compliance by just having the user just sign off on whatever they were already doing.

I've been using vim (now neovim) for almost 20 years now.

In terms of efficiency/productivity/time saved, my guess is that it's not worth it.

In terms of happiness, I love it. I live in vim+tmux+bash. My setup is extremely personalized. If anything annoys me about my day-to-day activities, I can just change it. It can be a time sink, but I enjoy it.

What inflammatory rhetoric are you referring to?
Twilio has a public price sheet[1], I think they haven't actually updated this one lately, but it's a good representation of what ordinary pricing is like. This is not an endorsement (or non-endorsement) of Twilio, but having a public price sheet makes it easy to link to them.

In general, pricing varies widely by destination (country and sometimes carrier), US and some other places are < $0.01, up to $0.10/message isn't uncommon, and some places are $0.20-$0.30/message. Voice calling was usually mor expensive (Twilio should have a price list somewhere for that too; if you can get 6 or 1 second billing, assume a voice verification call is about 30 seconds, but you might have to pay for a whole minute even if you don't use a whole minute).

Those SMTP -> SMS gateways sometimes work in the US, but they don't work much in other countries, and they're not good enough to rely on if your product requires an SMS during the new user flow. SMS costs are real and it's frustrating, but if it costs too much, you need to use something other than phone numbers for ids; I don't think skirting by with email gateways is going to work. But, if you build dynamic routing, I guess you could try.

Also, you've got the use the right email gateway for the user's carrier, and a carrier lookup is on the order of $0.01, unless you have tons of volume, so for the US, you might as well pay for the SMS.

I illustrate this point to my students, who are great fans of Korean drama. These are near-hysterical operas of great excess: love unrequited, betrayal, jealously etc.

Perhaps this phenomenon can better be expressed as 'exaggeration', which is a form of excess. The fact that artists exaggerate upon nature is an observable fact. My own work on color contrast proves this fairly conclusively.

The Mona Lisa is an exaggeration of foreground/background contrast, of the-pose-at-rest vs dynamic tension, of feminine beauty juxtaposed with the beauty of nature etc.
Neat middleground between folded clothes heavily creased but stored compactly in drawers and entirely unfolded crease-free hanging clothes. I presume there'll be some creasing, but it's definitely saving space vs. conventional hangers.

I wonder, if creasing is still an issue, if it'll be clearly asymmetrical especially on the back... Since the fold in the hanger isn't centered.
There was a comic I've never been able to find about wikipedia asking for money, it basically had them being that one crazy dude yelling at you to donate, and getting worse as time passed and you tried to ignore them.

I just don't want to donate if I have 0 control of where my money goes. If it's straight to paying the bill for the infrastructure, then sure.

PT used to be very energy dependent due to not having much local fossil fuel. They had to import most of it.
Simultaneously, they have a lot of sun, a lot of wind, and the tide. Also turns out it’s warm so they don’t need all that much power. So yeah, renewables are optimal for them in this specific scenario. That’s definitely a positive thing.

It’s good PR but I just find it relevant to point out that it’s not necessarily an “example” beyond that. But yeah, they are getting cheaper. They’re just particularly cheap for a country with great weather and wind with low consumption.
So do women with two uteruses have two menstrual cycles? Could she be menstruating and not at the same time?

I think it is completely worth it to learn the Vim editing commands. You can get a lot of the benefits from just turning on Vim-mode in VSCode or IntelliJ. Emacs with Evil mode is an improvement in my opinion as well. The quick line editing, moving around the file, etc etc smooth out your programming experience a lot.

If you're working a lot with text, Vim macros are great. I'll regularly go into Vim as kind of a text workbench.

What's an acceptable error rate for such a model? What's the human baseline?

I ask these questions[1][2] for nearly every model I'm requested to develop. It usually throws off PMs who aren't used to any acceptable errors.

It's always fun to get a request that's several orders of magnitude better than human performance. Sometimes it's actually possible to deliver, but often it shifts the conversation into feasibility and expectations.

Anyone developing a model like this will have errors and definitionally makes systemic. Regardless of performance it's important to address that.

1. In this order
2. Sometimes I study human baselines but ask before revealing because it prevents anchoring.
> Though few patients appeal coverage denials generally, when UnitedHealth members appeal denials based on nH Predict estimates—through internal appeals processes or through the federal Administrative Law Judge proceedings—over 90 percent of the denials are reversed, the lawsuit claims. This makes it obvious that the algorithm is wrongly denying coverage, it argues.

The '90% error rate' in the title sounded like a pretty serious twisting of some numbers so I scanned the article for where it's quoted from ^, which... makes a mockery of the title.

In case it's not obvious and to save parsing that, 'few people appeal' (which makes sense given the internal appeals process or Administrative Law Judge proceedings). Then, /of those cases/ 90% are overturned.

- If 50 / 10,000 cases and 45 were overturned or 500 / 100,000 cases appealed and 450 were overturned... would all meet this '90% error' mark.

- Similarly, 'overturned != error', because it may be as simple as a policy on United's side to not fight super hard and allow overturns (for any number of reasons, including just saving costs on the proceedings, it needn't be altruistic).

Did Ars used to be better than this, or were they always like this on some issues?

The /business/ side of medical insurance isn't really a topic that I know enough to weigh in on, but hopefully people can read the above sentence and parse what it's actually saying for themselves before reading the article.

Lack of maintenance suggests that stable working drivers were never there?

Or that means the interfaces are volatile?

The kernel developers are just making things worse if they want no compatibility across the kernel releases unless they have people meddling with the code periodically.

And they will be okay to support the driver for 10 more years as part of 6.1?

None of this put together makes sense. They do not have a good test infrastructure for lots of devices. Most drivers have no regression testbeds today.

That just tells me things will keep breaking more regularly.

It is good that the m68k enthusiasts care, and yet this development model isn't sustainable to begin with.
As someone who’s been on Linux on and off for close to a decade (full time last few years) I’ve noticed something interesting.

Now that so many apps have a browser version and prioritize the mobile version, the isolation caused by being on Linux keeps decreasing.

Between your phone and your browser, that’s not quite 100% coverage, but it’s very good and improving all the time.

You use your phone when you need a work app you can’t get on Linux, and if you can, the browser version of the app. And of course if it natively supports Linux there’s no problem at all.

A decade ago, being all Linux was basically untenable. Now I barely have to mention it to people. It’s been a dramatic change in a short time span.

I lived there six plus years, why don't you go there and report back what you learned?

This is akin to speaking lazily about hardware and software engineering lazily on this site contradicting many available resourced and not expecting to be called out. It is expected though by me here and elsewhere. Studying languages and regional politics is just as much a speciality as computer science, but many in the US write it off, especially for Arab studies. It's why I pivoted from that expertise into IT and security since people with that expertise especially are not in government influencing or implementing sound policy based on that discipline. So this year's news has not been a surprise to me or my colleagues at all.

US companies bring the plan, but the Chinese factories have unparalleled skills in actually manufacturing the product into reality.

Not sure how you are claiming that they both can and can’t deliver the required quality? Almost everything, high and low quality, can be manufactured in China. Spend the full $$$ value and you’ll get unbeatable quality. But pay peanuts, get cheap things.

> marketing at quality control. China can rip off a product

To continue my point above, they take that product and manufacture it with the best cost-value ratio for the mass consumer. You can always get various levels of quality in knockoffs.

> sell the products at a huge margin above the manufacturing cost

This is actually connected to my previous post. The West is able to do this solely due to economic and currency disparities, which are further perpetuated by the West. Hence, you get:

The West is completely dependent on the non-West for labor. It’s such a massive point of failure that the Western lifestyle would fall apart otherwise.
