>Battery not replaceable

You might be able to blame Apple for starting this and continuing it on their phones, but I don't think Google is pushing Android handset makers to do this at all, just like I don't think Google is pushing Samsung (and maybe some others) to eliminate 3.5mm headphone jacks on their phones. Unfortunately, I think this is one of those things where the whole industry is just copying each other. Non-removable batteries are better for manufacturers for various reasons, but bad for consumers, and they've conned consumers into accepting it.

>Unfriendly to repairs

Same here. Nothing is keeping Android phone makers from being repair-friendly.

>Updates obsolete old hardware

This is Apple-only. The Android counterpoint is "Updates simply cease after 2-3 years, leaving you with security vulnerabilities that won't be fixed", but here again it's the fault of the handset makers, not Google: they're just too lazy, and Google is too stupid and short-sighted to force them to support their phones longer-term to improve the Android brand image.
That's awesome!

I don't think Han unification is as evil as people make it out to be: the characters that got unified do share the same semantic meaning across languages, whereas Latin vs Cyrillic there is no semantic equivalence since letters are purely orthographic glyphs. The thing that sucks is that there's no real inline way (variation selectors, kind of) to select the language for the CJK glyph.
Well if an adult was found to be a nuisance and was unable to care for themselves, they would be put into the mental hospital. Unfortunately, due to some issues, those did not work out too well.
That text (I have no idea who it comes from) could have been written by a conspiracy theorist. "Nobody knows anything, it's all a bunch of lies" sounds chic in a rebellious kind of way, until you consider where that belief ultimately leads.
People generally don’t ask you to clarify if they know what you’re talking about.
Best value is always an ebay Thinkpad. But if you insist on buying new, the Lenovo Ideapad 3 Chromebook is $100 and often discounted down to $80. It's a 4GB/64GB eMMC/Gemini Lake n4020 with a TN screen. But it does have a good keyboard relative to its price range, and feels pretty solid. Battery life is about 8 to 10 hours.

The codename for this Chromebook is "Lick" and MrChromebox has alternative firmware which will allow Linux to be installed. I haven't done it on mine yet, but the instructions aren't difficult. I've read that most things on Linux will work automatically but there's a problem with sound out-of-the-box. There's a script on Github that supposedly fixes that.

Speaking as someone who reads Chinese and Japanese, this is not as annoying a problem as when a font designed for, say, Chinese is used to display Japanese and does not have the native-Japanese character (say, 働). Europeans using a different Latin script than a subset of English will be intimately familiar with what I am talking about.

I don't think that Han unification itself is too problematic: every variant is attested to some extent in handwriting in all these societies. Furthermore, the web designer conscientious enough will

1. For applications meant to be displayed in a particular language, use a font for that language, in which case the lang-untagged content always appears right

2. For multilingual content ensure that lang tags and fonts are set up right.

If the owner fails to do this, fallback font usage is going to be just as great a problem as variant issues.
> The Libertarian Party and Austrian Economists fucked it up for the rest of us by convincing everyone that "no, actually, antitrust is just about prices and consumer welfare, not control".

This is not really what the courts said (and to my knowledge the people who said it weren't members of the Libertarian Party or Austrian Economists).

The actual quote from the Supreme Court is, "It is competition, not competitors, which the Act protects."

The idea here is that, for example, if Walmart can undercut you on price and you go out of business, that's harm to competitors but not competition, because Walmart is only able to do that by offering the same product for a lower price. They can only do it by competing, and only for as long as they continue to outcompete the alternatives. As soon as they tried to raise prices or reduce quality, competitors could spring up to take the market from them.

That isn't what Apple is doing. If you want to offer an app store for iOS that only takes a 5% cut, Apple will actively interfere with you -- and then they take a larger cut despite the existence of prospective competitors willing to take less. That's not consumers choosing the incumbent because they're the most competitive, it's the incumbent preventing consumers from having a choice. It's harm to competition.
I was surprised to learn that the production of stamping tools, used to shape panels from sheet stock, involves lots of manual passes to bring them to the quality and finish required by car manufacturers.

(4) read from wildy different sources. During wars and elections, many news outlets are going to pick a side. So very few can be trusted as a sole source. You might get the facts, but which facts, and how are they worded.
I'd maybe agree with the news if we didn't live in a market economy. If you are investing anything in the stock market, you must know what's going on, and business news is linked to politics. Anyone who uses money should know what's going on at least in their own country to make wise decisions with their money.

Another example would be not going out if there is a riot or hurricane outside of my house. News can also bring safety.

I can agree with not reading every single piece of news and becoming paranoid/too unnecessarily informed about every possible thing out there.
You can install and run apps from Aurora store without having Google Services installed? Did Aurora store replace Google Services somehow? Many apps depend on those services.
They mean near-0 marginal cost of goods sold (software service), presumably.
Rolf Dobelli's "Avoid News" [1] reads a bit more flesh out, while striking similar notes. My key takeaway from it, is from the closing paragraph:

QR codes aren't just for URLs, there is a large array of common formats, but really it is up to the device reading it, and how it processes it.

To me, QR codes are fine, and actually have a lot of good uses, what is the problem is camera software parsing them.

I use a program called binary eye on android, it decodes the whole QR code and displays its value before attempting to do anything. I was this was the standard action.
Hopefully historians rely on more than the various rags throughout time!
If you've never seen it, watch "Master Hands".[1] This is a very good movie of auto manufacturing in the 1930s.

Those workers went on strike a few years after that, in 1939, and won.

It's the other way around. They've lost their jobs and their homes -- and their friends -- and their families, because of drugs.
I really don’t think you’ve thought through your curt response.

1. Clearly the array of cameras on these phones is along two axes, so the pedantic definition of two points on a line is irrelevant

2. You’d be shooting everything at a Dutch angle to maintain stereo if they weren’t aligned horizontally or vertically.

3. The sensors are rectangles and need to be aligned along their longest axes to maximize the most field of view.

Hate to be that guy, but this literally happened to friends of mine in the apt complex I live in. Completely disengaged from local news, had no idea that the building was losing power and being flooded in 2 days. Lost shedloads in the basement carpark.

"oh, I am sure it will be ok" right until it wasn't.

But your point is good otherwise. It's a continuum. How far down the slider you dial it, is up to you. I dialled to "completely disengaged" but there's "keep an ear open" further up to "read obsessively every day"
> The page goes on to list iMessage as always E2E

It does no such thing. I'm sorry, Apple's wording is precise but quite confusing. The link again is: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102651

You are likely being misled by Apple's confusing naming. In the "Data categories and encryption" table, "Messages in iCloud" is listed as always end-to-end encrypted, with a footnote. However this is not telling you that all iMessage messages are always stored end-to-end encrypted. In fact "Messages in iCloud" refers to an optional feature of iMessage. The table is telling you that if you enable the "Messages in iCloud" feature, your messages are end-to-end encrypted. But wait, remember that footnote! Follow the footnote reference to find out that in fact, as I said, the end-to-end encryption is broken by iCloud backup unless the optional ADP is enabled. This line of the table is extremely misleading to say the least.

But what if you don't enable the "Messages in iCloud" feature? Then your iCloud backup simply includes your messages, which again are not end-to-end encrypted unless you enable the optional ADP. That's covered under the "iCloud Backup (including device and Messages backup)" line in the "Data categories and encryption" table. Note that in this table "In transit & on server" means "not end-to-end".

The other page you link states that messages are "encrypted" in iCloud backups; it does not state that they are end-to-end encrypted in iCloud backups, in contrast to the following sentence which specifically calls out end-to-end encryption. The page seems designed to mislead, but it is technically not incorrect because it does not specifically claim end-to-end encryption of iCloud backups. The iCloud documentation I linked, on the other hand, is confusing but definitive and unambiguous if carefully read.
Illusion of choice creates a stronger buy-in from participants, even if they don't have a choice at all.
Right - using undo/redo for quick or ephemeral changes, before solidifying into something (more) permanent feels very similar to me to making a bunch of small commits while working on/exploring something before cleaning them up into semantic chunks with a rebase.

Maybe there’s some implicit idea here like treating a commit as an aggregate of a bunch of atomic actions (i.e what undo/redo act on)
Doesn't Gboard on Android already do that? On my phone, it has a setting that says "Next-word suggestions: Use previous words in making suggestions", and I can sometimes tell that it's obviously doing that.
They can stop allowing customized builds, except from forks of the old open source code with no gmail, no google maps, no play services, no play store, no youtube.
The letter “a” has a frequency of ~8%, and it would indead be anoying, but lets say the letter “q” is rendered incorrectly which has a frequency of ~0.1% then thats just some minor issue.
I haven't used Android since Nokia 7 Plus (back in 2019) but the variant that I had back then (TA-1062) doesn't have Japanese locale settings, despite being Android One and all that. I had to install MoreLocale2 and modify the settings via adb to make it work.

Every phone that was sold in the region I used to live (SEA) also lacks Japanese locale out-of-the-box. I had assumed this was still the case (locale availability tie to region being sold).

Are you seriously attributing public sector bureaucratic dysfunction to some sort of subversive public sector conservative operatives, or vague regulatory poison pills that you cannot actually point to here?

It seems a lot more intuitive to believe that you cannot just legislate that all government employees act selflessly towards the Greater Good, and the Homeless Industrial complex is a real thing that is not necessarily working in the interests of the public. Observing waste, fraud, and abuse and reflexively saying "this must be the fault of conservatives somehow" is just sorta sad.
What about the obvious punishment:
Taking their drugs away.

Doing so improves the addicts life in the medium-long term, and provides an immediate consequence. Its something that many addicts actually want, that society wants, yet no one has the balls to actually do it.
But if you have eyes 50mm apart, and source material from cameras 15mm apart (plus other depth information), you'll need to in-paint a small amount where your eyes could see "around" something and the cameras can't.
I think the answer is reading more varied sources of news, not less. But for sanity's sake, reading less might be good.

In order to have the "winter blues" you must know that it is winter. And in all my questions to ChatGPT I never had positive feedback that it knows what time it is, what date it is, and what the current season is.

My theory is that someone left a DEBUG=1 flag somewhere in the code and that the debug.log is filling up to 4 GB. I'm only joking a bit, I've been bitten enough times by these type of issues to know that they must happen all over the place.

It is absolutely apples to apples. The SG2042 is the first RISC-V server chip, with much the same goals as the first Graviton.

It's not going to take 4-5 years for RISC-V server chips to match x86 (and Arm). They'll be there three years from now, by the end of 2026.

Those designs are already in the pipeline, made by many of the same people who previously designed the fastest chips at AMD, Intel, and Apple.

The package I built is like a provider for 10+ different evaluation metrics that run both locally on your machine using models from hugging-face but also on the cloud IF you want more functionality.

If you want to evaluate a fine-tuned model, we have integrations with LM Harness and Stanford HELM coming out. If you want to evaluate a RAG application, we have 7+ metrics available for that.

You can also create your custom metrics using our interface!
I think it's just a matter of 'if you stop innovating, others will catch up quicker than you expect'. It's a continual r&d March, and you don't want to end up like Intel and get stuck on 14nm forever

And Intel was a company that was still shoving billions into r&d, yet still got stuck

So much of the tech industry has Moore's law baked into the supply chain forecasts, so lots of incentive to deliver on it.
Dude that is pretty dismissive. Your not even trying to validate their claims, just shut it down.

Everyone knows there is problems with the media, particularly with attention seeking (read click bait), and bias (read telling you what you want to hear).

The news is a contributing factor in the current political climate, it is mostly unhealthy. Why is it unfounded?
Two points are always on a single axis, but the two image sensors will still be rectangles at an odd angle relative to that axis.
There is a bijection between a + bi numbers and a + b√3 numbers, where a, b are integers*. In addition, with the operation of addition this is an isomorphism. Simply because from a + bi you can extract a and b, and you can also do this for a + b√3.

Proof:

Given a + b√3 = c + d√3, I will show that a = c and b = d:

a + b√3 = c + d√3

=> a - c = (d - b)√3

For purpose of contradiction, assume a != c,

Then b != d otherwise it is clearly not equal.

=> √3 = (a - c) / (d - b)

=> √3 = rational number

Which is a contradiction

You can do the same to show b != d is false too.

*conjecture: works with rational numbers too.
Not to take anything away from your post but Seattle has roughly half the GDP of Paris with less than a third of the population. The past is the past, if you wanted to place a bet on the future, I wouldn’t take Paris over Seattle. Seattle isn’t just tech, it is one of the major deepwater ports on the Pacific Rim and with a famously diversified industry. It is still on the upward part of its trajectory.

Seattle is not a cosmopolitan global city, this is true, but Paris wishes it had Seattle’s economic dynamism by almost any measure. Like many European cities, its status is the accumulated capital of a prior era that is not being replenished at replacement rate. I have my qualms about Seattle but European cities are largely worse when looking forward.
Whenever Apple tries to add significant new functionality to an already existing app, they screw it up. The combination of SMS/MMS and iMessage never made sense. Neither did the combination of purchased music and Apple Music. Or the traditional phone call with FaceTime.
That’s even worse, yeah, at least this site fails early by not reacting at all ;)
Wasn't there a version with self winding but no surplus return to battery. It had no health sensors though as a extrem low energy device.

If I recall correctly the winding energy was directly used up for operations to spare the battery. Someone help me out, the core was some SOC from TI..
Well, I don’t watch news, or any social network.

My friends tell me about the « big » happenings like Ukraine or Israel big.

The rest, I don’t get and I don’t care. I don’t miss anything regarding the local situation. Yes, if I’m going to see some stand up, maybe I’ll miss on some references, that’s the price I pay for the peace of mind I get by not subjecting myself to demotivating content on the daily.
Funnily, about your locus of control argument, focusing on things you can’t control (like inflation, some disease in a land far away or another murder in the USA) is not going to help you deal with things in a better way. Quite the contrary.
You have much, much less control than the info you can take in generally.

I don’t know, I think one should be more mindful of their mental diet whenever they engage with a piece of content they can access for free. Especially in our ad driven economy, always being aware of what’s being said and why is it said that way helped me understand a lot, more sometimes than the message in itself.
I got rid of mine because of the battery as well. The benefits didn't outweigh the extra mental overhead of having one more thing to manage daily.

Except for times when I want to capture health data, or when I'm exercising, I wear nothing. After all, I always have my phone with me, so I always know what time it is.

But when I want to wear a watch, my Garmin Venu SQ2 provides nearly as good activity and health tracking as the Apple watch, plus more sports tracking features... and its battery lasts days. It's also lighter and cheaper, so if I break it I won't be as upset.
This is good feedback, thanks!

Ok, we'll try to think of another visually interesting way to tell a non-visual story, to see if we can replace the 3D transforms.

I just hate the trend that most tech landing pages have these days of random graphics that don't mean anything. I want our content to be substantial.

You're right there's a lot of content. I'm not best sure how to organize it, except maybe to break it into other pages. There's a LOT to cover and convey. I just didn't have time to break it up for this iteration but maybe we will later!

_> Related to my previous point, if I wouldn’t know Caddy previously, I might get the impression that Caddy is mainly about certificates/TLS, just because that’s featured very prominently. Maybe my mental model wasn’t right, though, because I always thought Caddy was a general-purpose web server primarily, that also happens to provide some nifty convenience features around certificate auto-renewal._

Caddy's flagship feature is TLS -- most people discover it because of its exceptional offering here. But you are right, it is a general purpose server and proxy. But our TLS features is one major thing that sets us apart.

I'll also see what we can do about the green background, maybe to darken it a bit.

Dark mode does have an effect on some pages, like the Features page. And the up-and-coming docs pages that aren't published yet. The theme makes a big difference on those, and it will on the homepage someday too.

Really appreciate your consideration! We'll work on improvements.
The probabilities aren't independent. The person jumping through the first hoop is probably more able than average. Therefore, any additional hoop - if it doesn't require a completely orthogonal skill - is less selective.
