Right, it’s more of a configuration that is being changed. But my point was that this is all above the HCI layer, so at the end of the day it’s related to the specific host-stack implementation and not to do with Bluetooth in general.

> I don't disagree with you in the context of public [things], but [...] extensions to the standard make my work in [private] areas [...] happy to lock myself into [a non-standard].

This is the best argument I know in favour of not standardising, and the danger is not the direct consequences, but rather than our expertise in the standard atrophies when we do most of our work outside of it, which means our public work suffers too.

Also sometimes the private goes public and then who's gonna fund redesigning it in the standard? That rarely happens.

YouTube censors McGill researcher Jonathan Jarry's talk on pseudoscience studies
X thread by the Deception Research Society:

"This is totally unacceptable! YouTube has removed a video of one of our speakers. Jonathan Jarry's talk at this month's event addressed current trends in pseudoscience. The reason for YouTube's decision? Medical misinformation. This is absolutely ridiculous and once again, totally unacceptable!

The talk was extremely relevant to deception researchers, and gave the public a chance to find out what goes on in the world of misinformation, so that they would be better informed and less subject to the influence of misinformation! In other words, YouTube removed a video aimed at combating current trends in pseudoscience.

FYI, we appealed against this decision, which was rejected.

Please like, comment and share this post. Maybe if it gets some attention, YouTube will take notice and do something about it. Or if any of you have a contact at YouTube, any help would be most welcome.

For those of you who don't know us, the Deception Research Society is a group of over 500 researchers and practitioners whose aim is to foster the development of scientific knowledge about deception through dialogue between researchers from different disciplines and different countries. We believe that this dialogue is essential to better understand deception and to develop evidence-based practice."
I think he’s using that to show that there is a precedent with this company to make misleading announcements that at first sound exciting but under the surface turn out to be overstated.

It does seem a bit odd to make a grandiose, vague announcement about a breakthrough outside of a major Jobs-esque unveiling. If you had some amazing new capability, what’s the motivation to hint at it publicly versus unveil it with a major announcement/demo? It makes me wonder if it’s an attempt to keep the public in awe with a dangling carrot. I’m also skeptical when companies’ and founders’ reputations seem to greatly outpace actual product deliveries.

You'd think one could think of simpler & more intuitive naming of CSS properties for layouts.

I've used CSS for many years, but somehow I still have to look up basic property names & values from time to time. I don't really have this issue with programming languages. And I find it easier to memorize Tailwind classes for some reason.
Europe also needs some way to regulate US startups (and big tech a la Microsoft) price dumping “competitive” practices. Underpricing applications, SaaS and Cloud services for years is a sure way to kill EU startups. EU tech companies do not have the capital to play price wars. The customer, in the end, loses, once vendor-locked and forced to receive significant price increases.

On the flip side, coming from Darktable and trying out Lightroom felt like trying to do good old darkroom work with my hands tied behind my back.

Darktable offers a few really powerful, generic tools that you can use in different ways to get different effects – things like equaliser, parametric masks, LAB curves, etc. It makes little sense to use it without reading up on some of those more advanced tools first.

Lightroom, in contrast, focuses more on offering a small selection of pre-defined tools for specific purposes. But once you want to do something outside of that (parametric masking is one of those things I really missed) you're shit out of luck.
That's not the reality in my EU world. Almost nobody either single or with family in my wider circle of acquaintances spread across 5 countries owns EVs. One guy's mom I know has one but also has an ICE for longer trips.

Yes, statistically sales of EVS are increasing but growth is highly uneven, it's still mostly wealthy people and wealthy countries with chargers at home and businesses fleets with chargers at work. In my working class neighborhood of apartment buildings I see exactly zero EVs parked on the streets and zero chargers(could this be a connection? /s)

And cheaper EVs don't usually support fast charging. Also EVs with half decent range and fast charging are still quite very expensive for the purchasing power of the average European. The best selling cars in the EU were almost all ICE and very affordable models to boot like the Dacia Sandero, well below the price of an EV with decent range.

Biased feel good articles just saying "things are getting so much better" gloss over too many painful realities and don't really mean anything if that doesn't match the reality you're seeing with your own eyes.

Even Apple isn't satisfied with its own work on modems if rumors are to be believed. I'm sure Apple will gladly spend billions of dollars in research and own the modem rather than pay Qualcomm year after year.

Just some napkin math, Apple had 232M iPhone sales in 2022. If Apple paid USD 8 (low end estimate) per iPhone sold, that would be USD 1.8B just for 2022.
If I were Apple, I'd gladly spend USD 2B a year if that meant I would not have to pay Qualcomm USD 1.8B

My guess is this work is actually difficult

I know, I think you misread what I meant. I mean that even if it isn't unhackable due to bugs you can do in runtime, that it can guarantee stuff like no SQL Injection and possible no XSS if it compiles is pretty amazing.

But maybe that is pretty much the same as other frameworks in other languages provide also but the difference is that it's not guaranteed by the compiler.

Interesting philosophy, but just tried it with "bokeh" and well, the results are pretty bad? "Related keywords" are interesting, but many miss the last letter. The result list shows some reviews for old smartphones. Nothing relevant at all. Whereas if I type this into Google, results look way better.

Tried the reverse: One related keyword for "bokeh" is "out-of-focus". I typed "out of focus" into both Google and Chantal. Google: first result mentions bokeh. Chantal: Also mentioned somewhere, but not as a related keyword.

> cart abandonment

Isn't that just a self-inflicted problem, that boils down to a combination of 1) not showing full price + shipping until the user is a click away from making a purchase, and 2) not having a way to bookmark items that's equivalent but distinct from "adding to cart" and does not express intent to purchase? I bet that accounts for 90%+ of the cases.

Kudos to the Journal of Functional Programming for making its articles available freely online in such easy to read form.

Note that this article presents a translation for the simply typed lambda calculus, which is strongly normalizing and doesn't allow for general recursion. But it still allows you to compute things like the factorial function

As someone who develops for a large tech company and would like to join the effort to defeat aging, where should I start?
You can create a preset for the exposure module and define rules when it kicks in. For example based on the camera manufacturer, focal length, iso, etc. I use that to increase the default exposure compensation with my Fuji. I deliberately underexposes to prevent highlights from clipping. So I usually want a +1.25 exposure compensation. Likewise, you might want denoising on for high iso files.

You can organize modules into profiles and simply hide all the ones you don't use. The default profile hides some of the deprecated or display referred modules. You can change this.

White balance indeed has a deprecated variant for display referred and a scene referred one that works completely different that you typically use together with color calibration (which is where you should do most of your color correction, including color temperature changes). The reasons are mathematical and beyond me to explain properly (Aurelian does a great job on his Youtube channel). It boils down to not throwing away the baby with the bath water in terms of rounding errors accumulating and switching color model (to the one used by your display) too early in the pipeline. It might look pleasing but then it bites you when you want to tweak tone or do other things. This is the whole point of working with the scene referred modules.

Having all the legacy modules around is indeed somewhat confusing and Aurelian solves this in Ansel by hiding all the deprecated modules now. They are there for legacy files still.

Emulation is never perfect and, if you are running your database on a “seven nines” platform, you really want it thoroughly tested on the real thing.

Frankly just the standard practice of over-promise and underdeliver, for marketing purposes.

Flutter would be far from being the first framework to do this.
The web target is not completely useless, if you want to add some kind of app demo on your website, it's pretty good for that purpose.

It's not ready as a full platform though like mobile & desktop, that's for sure.
Tim was a director on Flutter until a few months ago and now works at Apple.

That is, he has first hand knowledge of Flutter's numbers and now that he works for a competitor, no motivation to inflate Flutter's stats.

The catch here is Ocaml. You can design your unikernel "bare metal" in any way you want and make it do nothing but the essentials you need ... and design it in any language you want as long as that language is OCaml.

You should give Dart a try, it's a lovely language. and very easy to pick up. In fact, it's become my favorite of the modern languages. For perspective, I come from a primarily Java/C# background, with large smatterings of Python, JS/TS, and Go, not to mention other less popular languages.

I would describe it as C#-lite. It's got all the features of a modern C-derived language with very little of the accumulated complexity. It's got pattern matching, tuple-syntax, a very strong constructor syntax, first class functions (this has become table stakes in the past decade but not so long ago it wasn't)... It's just a well balanced and very pleasant language.

Nobody is forcing EU companies to use AWS/GCP/MS/Oracle, the developers and managers are eating their architecture evangelism like crackheads and listening to platform and framework influencers as if they were prophets. We have dedicated positions for managing AWS permissions and user models. Short research will easily reveal a range of EU based service providers with APIs and SDKs.
So then, if you want to have a really cross-platform app, ditching Flutter and using web tech for mobile too sounds like the better bet? Or, otherwise said: if Flutter is only relevant for apps, that's a pretty small niche.
I prefer it. Why waste screen space on words? Icons are easier to see and use less space.

The only time you need the word is the one time when you don't yet know what it does. I would much prefer to RTFM one time then save that screen space.

In my favourite UIs I don't have any buttons on screen at all, but I do have an array of buttons on my desk (all labelled with letters, but their functions change depending on context). That's not really possible with a portable device, though.
Executioner? I'm no fan of excessive speeding, but the death penalty is a bit harsh.

Here is the thing with that. Technically every individual instance of a problem is decidable. It's only in the universal case that they become undecidable.

Take the halting problem for example. Imagine two algorithms for determining if a program halts. One always returns true, the other always returns false. For every single program, one of them will be the correct solver, but clearly neither of them is the correct solver for every single program.

Therefore the counter-example necessarily has to depend on the specific details of the algorithm that claims to be the universal halting decider.

Strictly speaking, there isn't an universal counter-example, since it changes depending on what the algorithm is. There are just instructions on how you can always make one, no matter what the algorithm is.
Running recursively on a task sounds a lot like executing code.

Let’s say we instead evaluate infiniteMonkeyBot. infiniteMonkeyBot simply issues random commands to a Unix prompt. Hypothetically this system is horrendously bad - it could potentially launch atomic weapons if we happen to connect those to the same system.

However, both infiniteMonkeyBot and our scary LLM are unlikely to be connected in this way and lack any desire or understanding necessary for nefarious behavior.
