Can we not do this? Being in a "ready mode" because you have a meeting in an hour is a common experience among those with ADHD. It's totally unrelated to a "fight or fight" response.

When someone relates an experience you don't understand, it's a natural reaction to assume it's actually a different experience that you do understand. I know because I catch myself doing this all the time, too. But let's understand that we have that cognitive bias and resist the temptation to "well, actually" people. (One technique that's helpful to me is to rephrase my comment as a question instead of a correction.)

As for different types of work, meetings are important and are work, but it still is frustrating when they make it difficult to get your other work done. That's not about whether certain kinds of work are legitimate. If you're late on something and you tell your manager that you had too many meetings and couldn't get into a productive flow on those tasks - that will not be seen as a legitimate reason not to have completed your assigned tasks. (Similarly, having your flow interrupted will not be seen as a legitimate reason to have fewer meetings. I've had a manager deny my request to skip a meeting - while I was fighting a production incident preventing a "must win" customer from using the product. This was something the CEO had directly told us was priority 0.) Thus, you end up working more hours, and you can't dedicate as much time to other parts of your life, like family and self care. Which can lead to burnout.
Epic lost to Apple, including on appeal. This will likely be decided by the Supreme Court.
OCR is pretty much a solved problem. Why not just print the url and have the phone read it? This minimizes the opportunities for havoc, since the url you read is the same as the url that your phone goes to. (Yes, I do recognize the opportunities for being tricky with characters that look like other characters.)

You could have a special symbol, indicating the presence of a url, special typeface etc., to make everything work even better.
The git object system is based on objects having types. There was a time when the "tag" object type did not exist. The only difference between then and now is the installed base.
There’s no visual indication of which number messages are going to and arriving from for an existing conversation, though. Messages to and from all numbers are just collapsed into one thread.

It gets even worse when iMessage and multiple devices come into the mix. It all kind of works for 95% of people I’m sure, but it completely falls apart in some cases with absolutely no way to be more explicit.
Yes, this is the key issue. It's too expensive to hire me or another experienced software engineer to do customization (except...). And doing anything significant takes me more than a few hours. There's just no market segment for me, an infrastructure engineer to help do something for even $1000.

But I do think there is a possibility of paying for a custom api or something that connects up pieces of other apps (an app build, phone or ui) - it's not that they are doing something less worthwhile, it's that I think integrating a few existing things in an existing way can with new ui elements, pics, style can yield something useful and pleasing with "just" a few hours of effort.

Back in the dawn of time, if you had a pc, you had a modem, and there were plenty of different terminal programs (that started up the modem for a call to a BBS usually), and implemented one or a variety of different terminals or bbs ui packages. I recall there were certain kind of enthusiast ones, where you could get a new feature added by paying the author $50. Maybe you wanted it to retry calls some number of times, or add somenew protocol to transfer something.
So does this mean they can go back after Apple and win, using this as precedent?
This is a few basic tools put into an api, not a replacement for Azure OpenAI services. I know because I built similar tools to help me run the ChatGPT apis locally and it was a day or two of coding at max, even including calculating accurate token counts and cost.
Looks like a wire frame and handle with a metal plate that sits flat at ground level. The wire frame (bit like a coathanger) holds the mouth of the bag open. A plastic bag gets sandwiched in so it's easy to sweep material into the bag, and then remove the bag from the mouth/handle contraption to tie up and dispose of.
Is this method faster?
This is not a strong argument as it doesn't consider all aspects.

1. Public drunkness is still a problem
2. Drunk driving still kills a lot of people. Legalization of alcohol doesn't help.
That belief is not supported by evidence[1] and must be weighed against the more typical scenarios where state-sponsored criminals obtain evidence unlawfully and then lie about it[2]. If they can't build a case against you, even with made-up sources and manufactured evidence, they'll just steal your stuff[3] or detain you indefinitely[4] anyway.

Can we start there instead - can we both agree that the legal system should obey the law?

Great question. I tried it and I got `elephantmouse`. I was surprised by this, but FWIW I've never encountered this edge case in actual usage.
The 21st century opioid crisis that’s being unraveled right now with the Sacklers and Purdue pharma would tell a different story. Of course it wasn’t over the counter.

One thing that’s missing in a lot of these discussions is strength and education. What strength was the Bayer drugs vs things available today, and how well informed was the average person that this was a product they could access recreationally.
I'm guessing it's because this was a jury trial and Apple's wasn't.
Were I Google I'd be appealling on the grounds Apple got away with it.
> You will only be able to use the gadget with its intended arguments, since other syscall types will be disallowed.

That makes sense, although "intended" arguments here means still being able to invoke `execve(2)`, etc., right? The gadget will still be able to mangle whatever it likes into the arguments for that syscall; it just won't be able to mangle a `wait(2)` into an `execve(2)`, I think.

Your points about JITs make sense, thanks.
There is definitely something to be said for the locality of the definition with the element. Tailwind has shown that many (myself included) see defining your styles directly in your elements as preferable to doing it externally.

JSX and templating in other frameworks gives you that desirable locality, which I think is why it can feel so painful to go back to vanilla js.

I still default to plain ol' vanilla JS on a lot of things, but having to add definitions to elements after first grabbing them with selectors is annoying, particular for singular elements.
Up to you mate. Just don't blame the society for your choices.
> people who write them $100,000 checks

Which law enforcement agency is writing $100k checks? There are no commercial interests in Section 702. In fact, if any, they would be against 702 (as Verizon doesn't like having to deal with it).
Things can still change, but strong headwinds.
Got it. Well that makes sense for older devices.
You can absolutely build a system that fetches a git remote whenever it updates, you just need some sort of a notification/subscription system to know when to trigger it.

You can absolutely build a system that pushes (some of?) your branches on every commit.

For me personally, that'd be annoying; every time I talk to the git server, I want to insist on a Yubikey touch.
So they will take this back to Apple and probably win then? To me this means Epic has unilaterally won. Android was the more open of the two.

We all know from the personal computer how it should be. Apple and Google are on borrowed time.
Google Google appeal using apple's case as precedent?
If at first you don't succeed, double down.
ray looks interesting, will check out

EDIT: so the main thing is technologies like Ray have a way to do these things, but I honestly just want an easy way to do this. Maybe means I will have to set up something with Ray and AWS myself and make a wrapper for that?

I've never had a chequing account and I'd never accept payments in the form of cheque.

Cheques won't be a thing in Australia soon enough either: https://ministers.treasury.gov.au/ministers/jim-chalmers-202...

Main thing I remember of cheques: seeing photos of the people who ripped a business off who then put them up on a wall of shame.

I saw it quite a bit more in the 90's. I guess back then it might have been handy to have them as a system to keep track of your big bills? Go through your checkbook tabs or something to sum up the months bill expenditure?

We've had online banking for quite a while now and that makes it real simple to export a transaction log to csv for accounting.
> Perhaps it's due to really bad red tape, but the treatment programs are not looking terribly cheap or effective.

The treatment programs implemented so far have been incredibly cheap, in the sense that we simply haven't spent any money on them.

M110 has been more expensive than expected, because by not spending money on treatment programs, we caused an assortment of other issues.

M110's effect on society is confounded by its coexistence with a statewide housing crisis that is pushing people into homelessness, and from there it's easy to fall into drug use.
I imagine Google will appeal, and the whole shebang will be decided by the Supreme Court, applying to everyone.
Practically I get that but legally I don't get it. Aren't we virtually dealing with the same evidence, arguments and laws?
It’s kind of an untold story, but I grew up near San Diego. My dad knew a bunch of early Qualcomm employees (in the first 50). Many of them had most of their equity clawed back through unethical legal agreements
Here's a talk that may interest you with former Director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center Bill Evanina and Special Agent Charles McGonigal (yes, that one). https://youtu.be/aZdJ6aDsB08?t=5712

They believe these powers are critical for counterintelligence and foreign influence investigations. I think that's not true, but I'm pretty sure they actually believe it.

From the article:

> But Epic v. Google turned out to be a very different case. It hinged on secret revenue sharing deals between Google, smartphone makers, and big game developers, ones that Google execs internally believed were designed to keep rival app stores down. It showed that Google was running scared of Epic specifically. And it was all decided by a jury, unlike the Apple ruling.

IMO it needs to be something that can't change, like your basic DNA, or something to that effect. We definitely do need a better way to positively identify people.
Not a lawyer but I suspect unknowingly profiting from a criminal conspiracy doesn’t leave the receivers of the profit with much choice. Not a whole lot of threatening required.
> That's with the setting to compress images to save data turned off

I think that setting doesn’t even do anything for MMS.
Yes, it's a legitimate question. If you wanted to keep up with a friend from Japan, would you not install LINE to talk to them (or them installing Whatsapp or Discord, or whatever you are using)?

And it's not like there' some gigantic combinatorial explosion of apps you have to install. The vast majority of messaging around the world is about 5 apps. Facebook's Messager, Wechat, Instagram, Whatsapp, Discord. Between these, you'll reach the vast majority of the world's population somehow. And then you'll need one or two more locally-used ones like LINE or KakaoTalk depending who you're talking to.

> How many of those are without a weapon?

Whatever the current fraction is, it's in a world with a war on drugs, so it can't tell you anything useful about what a world without a war on drugs would be like.

> Is intent to distribute fentanyl a non violent possession?

As long as the distribution is done by voluntary transactions, sure.

> a store advertising date rape drugs should be allowed to sell all their legal products.

Date rape is not the only use for fentanyl. One might as well say that liquor stores should be closed down because liquor can be used for date rape.

The premise of the war on drugs is that if we make drugs illegal, people will stop using them, or at least use will be drastically curtailed. We already knew that was false because Prohibition did not stop people from using alcoholic beverages, or drastically curtail their use; it just created a lucrative black market in alcohol, plus an incentive to violence for the people who ran that market--since they were criminals already, adding violence to the mix wasn't a big step. The war on drugs has worked out the same way.

The only way to drastically reduce drug use is for people to stop wanting to use drugs. Unfortunately nobody has a really good way to do that. But we know that criminalizing their use and creating a lucrative and violent black market for them does not work.
Rubber hoses used to be a pretty good deterrent.
You're looking at the wrong company. TSMC has a margin of 40%.
The Sparse Mixture of Experts neural network architecture is actually an absolutely brilliant move here.

It scales fantastically, when you consider that (1) GPU RAM is way too expensive, in financial dollars, (2) SSD / CPU RAM are relatively cheap, and (3) you can have "experts" running on their own computers, i.e. it's a natural distributed computing partitioning strategy for neural networks.

I did my M.S. thesis on large-scale distributed deep neural networks in 2013 and can say that I'm delighted to point our where this came from.

In 2017, it emerged from a Geoffrey Hinton / Jeff Dean / Quoc Le publication called "Outrageously Large Neural Networks: The Sparsely-Gated Mixture-of-Experts Layer".

Here is the abstract:
"The capacity of a neural network to absorb information is limited by its number of parameters. Conditional computation, where parts of the network are active on a per-example basis, has been proposed in theory as a way of dramatically increasing model capacity without a proportional increase in computation. In practice, however, there are significant algorithmic and performance challenges. In this work, we address these challenges and finally realize the promise of conditional computation, achieving greater than 1000x improvements in model capacity with only minor losses in computational efficiency on modern GPU clusters. We introduce a Sparsely-Gated Mixture-of-Experts layer (MoE), consisting of up to thousands of feed-forward sub-networks. A trainable gating network determines a sparse combination of these experts to use for each example. We apply the MoE to the tasks of language modeling and machine translation, where model capacity is critical for absorbing the vast quantities of knowledge available in the training corpora. We present model architectures in which a MoE with up to 137 billion parameters is applied convolutionally between stacked LSTM layers. On large language modeling and machine translation benchmarks, these models achieve significantly better results than state-of-the-art at lower computational cost."

So, here's a big A.I. idea for you: what if we all get one of these sparse Mixture of Experts (MoEs) that's a 100 GB on our SSDs, contains all of the "outrageously large" neural network insights that would otherwise take specialized computers, and is designed to run effectively on a normal GPU or even smaller (e.g. smartphone)?

‘force’ and ‘farce’ are just a hamming distance away.
They're assumptions based on anecdotes.
It's absolutely untenable for there to be a law that applies to one company but not a competitor doing an identical thing.

Opioids keep the top spot of addictiveness. The second place firmly belongs to nicotine. It's way more addictive than. say, cocaine.

Why not ban nicotine, by the same logic as heroin?

The key difference is that nicotine is a mere stimulant, while heroin alters your perception, it literally changes the way you see good and bad, because it's the ultimate feel-good substance. I have zero qualms about legalizing LSD, psilocybin, ketamine, etc. Likely even cocaine. But legalization of opioids would require a lot of preliminary work, to somehow allow the addicts function in a socially compatible way when badly wanting a dose.

It must be noted that a physiological addiction to opiates does not form from a first dose, and not even from the first ten doses, so infrequent recreational use is possible, given a right psychological preparation. This is similar to alcohol.
Yes, breach of contract, especially when you’re circumventing controls specifically designed to prevent the thing you’re doing.
I wonder what the remedies will be -- sideloading is already allowed, so allowing third party in-app billing? That seems to be the actual thing the juries said -- that Google used their dominant position to do anticompetitive things, among which is taking their 30% cut on everything.

Hope that this happens to Apple eventually too.
What models in particular do you think it should have been compared to? It seems like they chose some of the most understood / cited models at around 1 B parameters.
Tesla is to cars what Apple was to cellphones.

Shockes me how they're so many dense comments here just because people personally dislike Elon.
For anyone curious why Google lost:

>Epic v. Google [...] hinged on secret revenue sharing deals between Google, smartphone makers, and big game developers, ones that Google execs internally believed were designed to keep rival app stores down.

Without finding the same thing in Apple, I doubt this will affect Apple's case much, but of course I should mention I'm not a lawyer; I'm perfectly happy to be schooled if someone more knowledgeable comes along!
Yeah - but give the same case to 10 different juries, and you'll get different decisions.

Probably will get at least one outlier with different 10 judges, too.
Cases in US district courts don't create binding precedent.
Absolutely. There’s no secret here.
What option is there besides give people housing, let them lived unhoused, or jail them for not acquiring housing?
But those effects are not universal.

Not everyone is locked into iMessage.

Of course you’ve hardly been forced into hard labor in the gulag.

Can we use government for something more universal than saving you from your social groups choices?
Sure, still a WIP but it's getting there [1]

>> The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all, and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done.

Ah yes, and it is politicians (you know, the people who oversee all of this) obligation to govern according to "the will of the people"...just like we see in movies, on TV, in the trustworthy and totally independent news, in various simulcast professionally written PR pieces after an incident occurs, etc. (Consensus across the board is how you know it's true. That, and: this is a democracy.)

What do you think is the PineTime's biggest strength when compared with a mainstream smartwatch?

Have you found the watch to be hackable? Is there any sort of customization that you've done to it?
But heroin is not. In gp comment, they are trying to get heroin and getting fentanyl instead.
The shape and construction of the gates and transistors changed. Minimum feature size ceased to correlate with density/performance in some senses. This scheme has been somewhat arbitrary since about 20nm or so afaik, but expectations are set around what the number communicates, so here we are.
It's not fairy tales. Its human need for attachment to something greater. America has not filled that with anything else. The previous flag waving civic nationalism has become demonized so now there's nothing.
Indeed! I think the point is that "legalization" and "regulation" can take pretty different forms, not necessarily the for of the substance being generally available.
How valid the comparison is between Tequila and Heroine is irrelevant. What is relevant here is harm reduction for the addict. In both cases legalization result in harm reduction. Yes legalized and regulated heroine is still very harmful for an addict, but unregulated and illegal heroine has the potential to be way more harmful then a regulated legal one, potentially deadly. The same logic also applies to illegal and unregulated gin (just to a lesser extent).
Bigger question is, why, after so many years of massive development around internet and payments & cryptocurrencies/blockchain etc we still have a 'pull' based payment system instead of a push based one. just because I wanna pay somebody $100 why does that gives them the ability drain my account just because they knew some information about my account. this is a easy problem to solve especially with the new Fednow clearinghouse in picture, but you can be guaranteed banks will drag their feet on any moderization effort that takes revenue away from BS like overdraft fees.
