At what cost. I'll bet your grandfather never tracked the cost of his workshop and time. Note too that the scenario is all hands on deck harvesting - skipping one day of harvest can (if there is worst case storm) cost your more in profit than a brand new combine.

If you have to pay someone labor the cost of keeping old machines running adds up a lot farther than most people realize. I know one construction company owner who in the 1990s worked it all out - all that 30 year old equipment that he was keeping running. Then he want to a dealer and signed a lease for $25,000/month, as he left the negotiations, reeling from the price tag, his account turned to him and said "you just saved yourself $30,000/month".

Google realised that the free podcast app won't cut it for them. So they push their userbase over to the YouTube universe, where a paid subscription is flashed in your face if you have one. Not too surprising
I recently purchased a 3090 off eBay for AI related work, and saw a listing for custom 22GB 2080 TIs.

Followed the user to their website and apparently this person upgrades the VRAM of the 2080 TIs from 11GB -> 22GB.

+1 - I moved to Pocket Casts when they shut down Google Listen (or at least, when it stopped functioning I didn’t bother with anything else until Pocket Cast). It was beautifully designed and very functional, and I’ve never needed anything else. I paid for it once, and it’s followed me from Android to iPhone and back without any issues.

Unfortunately the security defaults haven’t meaningfully changed since 2003!

The more advanced protections introduced over the last two decades are mostly off by default.

As a random example, a trust established between two AD forests using only Windows Server 2022 domain controllers will default to RC4 encryption instead of AES!

It takes a lot of thankless work to properly secure an AD domain, and often it’s a impossible task because of incompatibilities with - checks list - Microsoft software released as recently as 2020.

> Social cohesion seems to suffer as inequality rises.

I don't think there is any seems about it. I'm quite confident that social cohesion/solidarity is poorer in the UK now than it was fifty years ago and considerably worse than here in Norway where we have more compressed income and wealth ranges.
I have two counterpoints:

1. "does not work" is wildly subjective. Google Reader was tremendously awesome. It "worked" for a lot of people.

2. Even when something doesn't work, they don't just shut it; they shut down one project, and start two competing ones with slightly overlapping feature sets. And now you get to choose which one you want to eventually migrate away from when they inevitably shut it down, as well, in favor of another set of competing internal projects.

I think they shut things down when it doesn't work for Google, and that really doesn't give me an incentive to use any Google product. I'm still on gmail, and I'm betting that they won't dare shut that down - can you imagine? - but I absolutely will not invest any time or money into anything else they offer.
How do you expect to run Google Podcasts without the Google datacenter infrastructure it runs on?

> Obviously we aren't taking about some simple automation scripts here.

This is moving the goalpost, and also ignores the fact that software exists on a spectrum from "simple automation script" to "messaging app used by millions". It seems you have a very narrow view of what software is, or what it is used for, and the constrains that apply when building it.
From [2] “ All natural uranium today contains 0.720% of U-235. If you were to extract it from the Earth’s crust, or from rocks from the moon or in meteorites, that’s what you would find. But that bit of rock from Oklo contained only 0.717%.”

I find it interesting that the .003% difference in U-235 was a large enough deviation to attract attention to Oklo. Thanks for the link

> Outside of carbon chemistry your ability to create replicable life plummets. Biologists may speculate if non carbon life is possible, but there's no doubt it would be limited. Arsenic or silicon just don't have the chemical complexity carbon does.

Best argument for carbon I've seen so far is that despite carbon being just 0.02% of all elements on earth it became preferred engine of life.
Although I can't rule out that under different temperature, pressures and radiation some other element might be preferred if it's reasonably abundant somewhere. In my opinion if there's mostly stable, reasonable energy gradient somewhere life will find a way if possible.

I don’t think Google does it better. But switching from Chrome to Firefox makes much less sense if Mozilla still performs advertising. And, least be said, fires a CEO for having made a private political donation one day, so it is not politically agnostic either.

You are correct that Mozilla has implemented profile encryption and it is believable. However, NSA has backdoors at every level, so having an account online isn’t really a good practice.
Elan makes it actually quite easy. It's among the better package managers out there, comparable to cargo.

There's a single bash script to install both the runtime and the package manager on a variety of platforms, and the integrated build system and native module bundler is both powerful and isomorphic, so all you need to learn is Lean. Without any prior knowledge of Lean I was able to patch existing build scripts to support platform specific C extensions in less than half an hour.

While DNA is left behind, I have yet to see a waitress run to the back with a sample, and run it through DNA marker identification.

This also assumes it's a clean sample and not contaminated with all the other DNA present, simple dust, residue on the surface of whatever the DNA was pulled from and/or whatever.

I'm not saying it's not possible, I'm saying that it's very, very, very unlikely, at least for mortals.

Note: I'm IT, not science, so I was the person that setup the reporting triggers, output, input, etc. I do know something about taking samples and swiping them from a glass isn't the typical way, for many, many reasons.
Facts can also be FUD. The problem is gone, so why keep bringing it up?
Whatever the computer guesstimates as your nude body will always be an estimate. It cannot know what you actually look like under your clothes.

Being able to differentiate real and fake isn't the point. An occasional nude is special. An occasional fake nude is special. An infinite number of fakes nudes might just stop having any real power to abuse.

Sexuality is mostly in the mind and a real nude image has a element of fantasy that a fake doesn't have. The fact that it's just a made up bunch of pixels that has no real meaning in real life is a factor that we haven't yet fully experienced.
There are methods to generate an interpreter but AFAICT there are no real implementations. Seems to be one of those pure research fields.

https://github.com/sillycross/PochiVM is the closest I've seen to an actual implementation but it looks mostly abandoned.

And I'm talking about generators on the same level as flex/bison and not something like pypy where they (used to?) use abstract interpretation/partial evaluation as you're really just transforming a handwritten interpreter with all the hard work that entails.

This is much more interesting.

I don't suppose you know where I can get their list of references without hitting a paywall? Specifically [16] and [24].

EDIT: [For anyone following along]

The linked paper is Measuring Complexity of Object Oriented Programs. Although, the paper isn't free. They reference several other papers which they assert talk about OO complexity metrics as well as procedural cognitive complexity, but unfortunately the references aren't included in the preview.

Apparently, there's also a list of Weyuker's 9 Properties which look easier to find information on. But these look like meta properties about what properties a complexity measurement system would need to have [interesting, but they don't really seem to comment on whether or not such measurement is even possible].

It looks like a lot of this research is coming out of Turkey, and has been maybe floating around since the early 2000s.

EDIT EDIT: References are included at the bottom of the preview.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: Kind of interesting, but I'm not sure this is going to yield anything different than cyclomatic complexity. Like, is this still an area of active research or did it all go by the wayside back in the early 2000s when it showed up? The fact that all the papers are showing up from Turkey makes me concerned it was a momentary fad and the reason it didn't spread to other countries was because it doesn't accomplish anything. Although, I suppose it could be a best kept secret of Turkey.

Renamed programs are defined to have identical complexity, which is pretty intuitively untrue, so I've got my concerns.

EDIT ^ 4: Doesn't seem to be able to take data complexity into account. So if you're dividing by input, some inputs are going to cause division by zero, etc. You might be able to jury rig it to handle the complexity of exceptions, but it looks like it can mostly handle static code. I'm not sure if it's really going to handle dynamically calling code that throws very well. I also don't think it handles complexity from mutable shared references.

Nice try, but unless there's a bunch of compelling research that no actually this is useful, I'm not sure this is going to cut it. And at the moment the only research I'm finding is more or less just defining functions that qualify as a cognitive measure under the Weyuker principles. I'm not seeing anyone even pointing it at existing code to see if it matches intuition or experience. Happy to be found wrong here, though.

The term fake implies that it is being passed off as real. No one thinks that the sculpture of Britney giving birth is the real thing and its not being displayed as such.
But you hardly need a DNA database for that? Usually the type of identities that are discriminated against are pretty clear from the outset.

Even the Nazis and their Rassenkunde bollocks was more post-hoc window-dressing rationale than anything else – they really didn't need that to tell who the Jews, Slavs, Roma, etc. were. This is usually the pattern: "I want to discriminate against $group for $emotional reasons, and I can't really articulate why, so let me find $facts to support my $case".

And look, if you want to keep it private then you should of course keep it private, and if 23andme promises to keep it private then you have every right to keep them to their promise. Privacy is fundamentally about choice, and those choices will be different for everyone and I'm not here to judge anyone's choices. But personally, I think the abuse for DNA data is actually quite small, almost non-existent.
That makes much more sense, thanks! I mixed something up there, or I just misunderstood the marketing material as a kid.

At least in theory, "OK Google resume Pocket Casts" is supposed to work.

In practice, I've had mixed results. But I've always found Google Assistant flaky.

Right now I can't add things to my shopping list via the assistant, which is a very handy feature since it usually happens while my hands are covered in food.)

> In this analogy peak pricing has a limit: it would very quickly make harvesting the crop unprofitable.

What? Equalizing or normalizing the costs over the entire year by price gouging on repairs during non-peak months doesn't suddenly make the total cost any different. Farmer's are absolutely bearing the cost having a service network that can satisfy peak demand no matter what kind of pricing scheme is backing it.

If a low priority repair costs $5 in the off season, but $55 for the same thing during the peak, farmers aren't better off getting charged $30 for both. It's still $60 at the end of the year. If anything, that penalizes the farmer that's doing preventative maintenance in the off-season and benefits the farmer that leaves their equipment to break down at critical times. The responsible person is subsidizing the irresponsible person in that case.
At least for cat5/6, wouldn't you be cutting and terminating once they're pulled? Never thought about pulling one of those with the connector on - for the reason you mentioned, but also just because you might not know how much cable you'll need until it's all finished.

I'd imagine HDMI would be mostly shorter runs (or using cat5/6 extenders) due to the limits/requirements of the cable.
