Also keep in mind that you would also need realtime transcoding on the transmitter, as the device would need to mix whatever audio-codec is provided with other channels (Notification sounds, etc.) and encode it into Opus on-the-fly.
wouldn't that mean trying to fit it on one machine?
Interesting features of John Harrison's sea clocks
And yet there are tech apologists who claim that dark paint, sky size and AI filtering make this a non-issue.

I have much more primitive objections to this. I want an unobstructed view of the universe with the naked eye. I want to know that when I look up I won't have to wonder whether a bright object is an artificial satellite or an object in space. It's bad enough that light pollution has made it impossible to see the universe from cities. The tradeoff of losing visibility of space from anywhere on the planet for the convenience that these things provide is not worth it. Especially when many of them are used for spying and military purposes.
Watch out, most Jabra headphones with dongles are actually bluetooth as per the specs. Or does the dongle do something regular BT can't do?

This was driving me crazy when I was looking for one a few months ago. Ended going with a wired Poly (the DECT models were absurdly expensive for my needs).

I do have a DECT Jabra model (with a huge base) which is nice enough for conference calls, and the mic doesn't sound noticeably worse than the newer, wired model we have at work. The headphones do have a somewhat tinnier sound, bur for conferencing they're very good as long as nobody with a deep voice breaks out some Shure mic.

The killer feature for me is the very, very low latency. I'm a non-competitive non-hardcore gamer, but I'm happy to use it in FPS games.

It also wipes the floor with bluetooth range-wise. During covid I had it at my parents' thick-walled house and it allowed me to walk around the garden during calls with no interruptions. BT can't handle me going in the next room in my small apartment.

I've checked now and mine is set to normal. But it's still shit on mobile. I have the same song encoded by yours truly from flac to opus@160 kbps and the quality difference is audible. On the desktop I fail to see any difference at the normal setting, so it might downgrade to 48 kbps over LTE.

In my experience - using Linux since 1992, Debian since 1997 - "traditional" package management is quite capable at avoiding compatibility issues related to dynamically linked dependencies. Linux has had library versioning for a very long time - something which made it stand out compared to the 'DLL Hell' Windows users were used to - and it is quite common to have multiple versions of libraries installed and in use. Given these conditions I do not consider package management a "terrible fit" for "modern systems and apps" - whatever those might be. I do see a use for systems like AppImage which come in handy for applications which are only used occasionally (or even only once) where the increased start-up time and reduced integration do not matter.
I think his stance is pro-regulation, but not in the same way that AI doomers and OpenAi want.
Fortunately, they didn't drink the wireless kool-aid when purchasing these, so we have wired-only versions.
I was also very surprised at that line and I was wondering if I was the one who was out of touch or the Google team were. I haven't really looked into mobile development for a few years so it could very well be the case, but it stood out to me as unlikely considering the relative impopularity of Dart and the (to my estimation) very low hype profile of Flutter where developers hang out.

But maybe they're right. I think it would be exceedingly hard to actually get real numbers on it anyway.

Because doing the thing they do in sci-fi when science starts working on the real thing is a time-honored tradition.
Show HN: Reactive Resume v4 – A free and open-source resume builder
Flutter has three major problems:

- Performance: Even on Desktop, animations have jank. Last I compiled samples on Mac, the problem was visibly there.

- UX: Text editing immediately feels alien. If Mac for example, you have a text field in a native app and on the side you have a flutter app with a text field, you can tell the difference between the "feel" when you type in each. This isn't necessarily limited to text fields alone.

- Web: surely is possible but you have to dumb down your application so much. You cannot use libraries from JS ecosystem so lot is left on the table. Imagine High Charts, d3.js and such. Say goodbye to them when you're on Flutter Web.

Lastly, from the tone of it, seems like Flutter is on the way to join Google Reader and such. Gradually.
The internet. It connects the world and is an endless source of knowledge. Although it can definitely have negative impacts on people’s lives, it’s overall a benefit to humanity and I’m thankful to be around to see it!
As the parent pointed out, there's a simple way for Youtube to deal with me "feeling entitled to use their computer" -- either don't make your computers publicly available via a standard web api, or return the appropriate response via that standard web api, which would be an HTTP error code.

When the server returns a 200 and the video to my request of 'video for free please', that is them choosing to accept my request for the video. Just as the common refrain goes that 'if you don't like ads, you can just not use Youtube', the argument that 'if Youtube doesn't like me blocking ads on my computer, they can just not serve me the videos' applies equally.
Isn’t this the same idea behind unikernels?
It is not. Does not give you the statistical habilities to work and does not give you the propper introduction to start for yourself. Andrew NG's inhability to teach is very obvios when he starts to talk about back propagation. Also his tone is not the correct one to transmit information at all.

Everytime this course is suggested, a kitty dies. There are better books and courses about ML and DL in udemy, for example. Those courses usually focus on production or theory, not both at the same time like andrew does.
I live in Europe.

Germany, France and other large countries became virtual ghost towns overnight as it became illegal to leave your home for other than critical errands.

Wasn't it the same in big parts of the US? I remember seeing videos of a helicopter flying over LA without cars or people out on the streets.

Fake leaks
Can we guarantee the same thing about you? What stops you from hiring Russian contractors and paying them in crypto? Of course, you can say: 'Well, he is Russian, so it is more likely that he does that, so it is fair to treat him with more suspicion.'

And you know what? Some other people might say: 'Well, this guy is black, and black guys are more likely to commit crimes, so it makes sense if we follow him around the store to make sure that he doesn't steal anything.' And some other people might say: 'Well, he looks like he might be a Muslim, and radical Islamists are more likely to be terrorists, so it is fair that we select him for some additional screening at the airport.'

Would you agree with all those people as well? And if not, what do you think is the difference between you and them?

> Build, operate, and maintain wastewater treatment plants

You'd be surprised at how difficult this is in shitty countries.

First, wastewater plants are rather expensive. Maintaining them is also both expensive and required. And you don't get bonus points for doing the right thing.

My home city of Chişinău, Moldova has a population of about 800 000. The whole city stank of feces for almost two years (and districts close to the sewage treatment facility for much longer than that) because no one cared to maintain the old Soviet-built facility.

Only when you could smell (and almost taste) shit over 20km away, did they scramble to do something (ask for more money from IMF/EU, steal most of it, ask for more money, implement a patchwork solution that barely holds)
> Isn't it funny that the least funny people always complain about their inability to make jokes anymore?

Maybe you really don't know, but John Cleese is considered extremely funny, and has been for decades: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2022/oct/10/john-cleese-...

Bill Burr is also widely regarded as a good comedian, making funny jokes: https://actorsareidiots.com/bill-burr-people-taking-offense-...

Dave Chappelle made a similar complaint (that he will not be changing his material to bend to some people's demands) and is also widely regarded as funny: https://www.npr.org/2021/10/25/1049113893/dave-chappelle-res...

How about someone who is not widely known, but still considered quite highly as a funny person? Here's what she literally said: "Jokes used to be accepted as jokes [...] Morality police now dictate what we can and can’t say. " - https://www.chortle.co.uk/correspondents/2023/02/10/52508/go...

Yup, the actual funny people are complaining that they can't make actual jokes anymore: https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/comedians-online-censorship-...

I feel you should think long and hard before making a statement as orthogonal to reality as "The least funny people complain about their inability to make jokes".
Is Flutter free software? If so, I'm sure other companies will continue to fund it's development, especially those that have products developed in it.
On a solo project, I write a journal, and start finding patterns in it. For e.g. if some parts are front-end related. i add some emoji, or colored text for this and it becomes a "topic". Over time I add Lists for TODO and TODO-later, where I move these items between. The simple act of having colors and graphics helps me keep a high level overview.

For teams, I am experimenting with Github issues. I have added labels for topics and urgency. I chose github, because (i) as a developer I spend a lot of my time there. (ii) I find its editor "quiet". google docs etc take time to load, I want a place to quickly jot down an idea to get it out of my head (iii) It keeps the project management alongside the code.

Except huge amounts of drive space and upload bandwidth. Considering most (to an overwhelming degree) people consume videos on phones, tablets or laptops with relatively tiny drives it’s not realistic.

Maybe some decentralized system with content providers hosting themselves might work.

However all that is irrelevant even if it were technically feasible because it doesn’t align with the incentives many/most content creators have (they actually want to be paid either through ads or subscriptions..)
I came here to complain about the old version often not showing street names, forcing me to scroll a few miles down some streets to see the name. Amazing that they managed to make that worse.
Of course I do, but at least I kind of chose a path that I kind of like. You are assuming that with a powerful AGI, we won't work 40h a week, but what if you'd still work as much, just to other positions that you don't like ? Do you think people in charge will give everyone leisure time, or do you think they'll want to keep extracting as much value as possible from people ? I think the latter ;).

Your comment couldn't be more off-base.

Hickson left Google for his own personal reasons. Not because Flutter is losing resources or that he was asked/assigned to work on something else.

Google has not lowered the amount resources dedicated to Flutter.

Ian started the Flutter project and it's hard to point to someone more important to Flutter's success than him.

He continues to work on Flutter as does the entire Flutter and Dart teams.

How do I know this? I've been working on Flutter (off and on, currently on) for seven years and was present when Ian announced his departure from Google (not Flutter).

Investors don't care where you are as long as they're confident you match a certain risk/reward profile. If they're piling money into US and US-acquired companies it implies expectations are lower for the European counterparts. The most emblematic trend in recent times to signal this is how Europe has had to focus on legislating ai to seem remotely relevant while the US and China dominate actual innovation in the field. If that's not admittance that the industry is uncompetitive I don't know what is.
Unless you're pulling up to meet someone and need to tell them where you are, or calling 911 and need to tell them where you are. In those situations I want a street name fast and these issues can be quite frustrating.
Not sure why you are getting downvoted, maybe due to wording, anybody old enough knew/knows some people around him who are stuck in this and suffer. My wife is a doctor here in Switzerland, and yes the idea of having nice easy retirement health wise is mostly a pipe dream. But its oftne families themselves, ie here its typical that Italian families will always ask for prolonging life of a patient as much as possible even if its clear there is no way back and its just constant coma decline. Subtle evils of religions in the real world.

Its rather a constant management of ever increasing problems ranging from small to massive ones, and eventually losing either gradually or suddenly. Absolutely no dignity from the system.

Switzerland at least has enough sanity to allow assisted suicide so all world rich and powerful come here to die. As rather strict christian country that's what showing actual respect looks like.

Bluetooth HFP 1.9 includes support for LC3 codec for Super Wideband Speech (SWB) in Handsfree mode [1], with 32kbps bitrate.

Quality is significantly better than SBC. ETSI has tested this extensively and came to the conclusion that LC3 is better than Opus in some common conditions [2]

Quote: LC3 at 32 kbps (LC3 32) provides significantly better audio quality than Opus-CELT at 32 kbps and complexity level 0 (OPUS_v114_c0 and COPUS_v114_c0)

So there IS a solution for higher quality, which is LC3-SWB. It's just that both devices need to support HFP 1.9 to make use of better codecs, which will take a while especially on the headset side.

Are you in a big city? For me speed limits appear the moment I cross the border to Italy or get off the plane in UK, but never in Switzerland (or Germany where I have also checked it). I have the setting enabled and everything.
> that is fraud.

I don’t think that true. Users have no have signed no contract and/or have any obligations to watch those ads.

Of course it would still be fraud if ad buyers were paying for ads which were never displaying it, except Google would be committing it. In most cases on a significant scale to warrant legal action.
> thereby making it worse, with no option for a user to even revert back to the old design

This makes me wonder if Slack hired a bunch of PMs from Google recently.
My concern would be around the baked in Google services (e.g. maps, firebase, etc) no longer being supported.
zsh is not officially supported, but you can force shellcheck to check zsh regardless via `--shell=bash`.

This makes shellcheck treat the file as bash script, so there are some false positives for zsh-specific syntax, but 99% of the rules work pretty much the same.
In the world of hardware:

S-100 was going to be replaced by VMEbus, then the PC came along, then the ISA bus was going to be replaced by the PS/2 bus, but it was too much lock-in, so we got EISA instead.

Laptops had expansion ports, using the PCMCIA interface, we called it People Can't Memorize, Computer Industry Acronyms

Bubble memory was supposed to make rotating disk obsolete.
WORM (write once, read many) drives were supposed to revolutionize backups

Back in the early days of transistors they weren't as reliable as tubes, Magnetic Logic used ferrite cores to do logic, and computers were built out of it.

MMIC logic, where a cantilever is etched in free space, and static voltage is used to move it between contacts, could have been amazing fast, low power logic, but it didn't work out

ISDN - Integrated Services Digital Network, as going to be the ultimate connectivity, until the phone networks decided it meant "I Smell Dollars Now", and eventually it became "I Still Don't kNow"

ATM - Asynchronous Transfer Mode was going to revolutionize the phone networks, but eventually it was replaced by IP.

In the world of software:

P-code was the first cross platform interpreter, then Oak/Java, then .NET/Mono, now WASM

In leu of actual capability based security, we got VMs then Containers, now we're getting WASM

The Semantic Web was going to have all of us manually give context and labels to our web pages.

Fuzzy logic was a thing way before neural nets

As were "expert systems", which were going to automate away most professional jobs

Git commits always have a parent. Applying git patches to a repository without the parent is not going to work. The repository must have the parent commit. You might force it to work without that but it's going to create conflicts, complicate merging, etc.

The reason is that a git patch is not merely a diff but an export of the actual commit objects and referred content (trees, blob diffs, hashes, etc.). Applying the patch recreates the exact commit objects on the other side. The end state is exactly the same as if you would have merged the commits from some branch. There is no difference.

Git diff, shows you a normal diff. It's not the same thing. You can indeed apply such diffs to your local work copy. But that's not the same thing as a git patch.

The commands you need are git format-patch (exports the patch) and git apply (applies it).

I vividly recall my parents' mounting anxiety as three of our neighborhood kids were stricken and put in iron lungs. One died (age 4), two recovered (ages 5 & 6) after around 6 months in hospital. I've kept track of one - she's 74. In her 50s, she developed muscle degeneration as part of post-polio syndrome. Wrecked her ability to live independently.

I got both the Salk and the later Sabin vaccine. That took a huge weight from my parents' spirit, improved our family dynamics.

I'll track this story. I deeply hope for polio to follow smallpox into oblivion.

That's why I asked you what's a "reasonable" salary. I'm wondering what your POV here is in terms of compensation.
You're right, I just always wonder since that trolley or whatever problem like "kill 1" vs "kill 5" but even "kill 2" is already a perfect microcosm of the inherent difficulty, philosophically speaking, in terms of the way or the standards on which we prioritize and enumerate the "value" of individual human beings.
