I thought Big Tobacco is buying up the vape companies? Some cursory searching seems to indicate this is their preferred move.

> giant reduction in bad health outcomes is alarming

We are separating cigarette use from vapes. My "alarming statistics" is only for vaping. Cigarettes were down before vapes gained popularity. So since their introduction, health outcomes are becoming worse, would you not agree? In other words, it is not substitution at play, rather there was a reduction and now a new increase from vaping.

I've heard that at least in Baltimore, politics has demanded 2 things:

1. Due to years of redlining and unequal treatment, a google fiber rollout requires a plan to guarantee delivery to the entire city.

2. They must work with unions for the installation.

For those reasons, Google, Verizon and many other telcos have mostly entirely skipped the area, check this map out: https://broadbandnow.com/mapshot/provider/lg/Verizon-Fios.jp...

I completely agree with your analysis. Understanding the complexities of achieving convergence with basic auto-increment counters without advanced CRDT types is 101 IMO. Those familiar with these issues inherently comprehend the challenges involved. While it's plausible for someone to leverage a library atop Marmot to construct and synchronize such types, it's important to note that this tool isn't tailored for junior developers grappling with transactional intricacies. I've witnessed instances where inexperienced developers initiate transactions and make HTTP calls while holding locks, resulting in system outages. Marmot isn't intended for individuals lacking a solid understanding of distributed systems. My recommendation aligns with advising entry-level individuals to explore these tools only when they reach a scale where such complexities become pertinent.
Supposing they offered this at my house, what could I do with it that I already can't do with gigabit fiber?

Google Fiber already offers 2Gbps to a friend of mine, but he hasn't upgraded because he doesn't see the point. Most of his bulk transfers (Steam, etc.) seem to be throttled at the source, and upgrading from Gigabit to 2.5GbE or 10GbE gear isn't cheap.

I could see this being useful for an office building or an apartment building, but what would a single family home do with it?

If they ask for credentials, absolutely. Google has both an OAuth flow and the ability to generate app-specific passwords (which correctly have very limited abilities) so I never have to pass over the real creds.

I have never given my Gmail credentials to Apple, but I get my mail just fine.

While I understand the sentiment (BTDT and thoroughly enjoyed it!) it is very important to see this as a management failure. If something is vital (or even mildly important) to the success of a project, it must be accounted for in the timeline and properly resourced.

Anything else leads to deathmarch projects where the extra free work after hours becomes more and more expected and required, no longer a fun diversion.

This already veers straight back into the marketing territory that everyone in this thread remarks was an eye opener when they actually got a mechanical watch.

I have a mild prepper tendency and I had to eventually kill my romantic views of mechanicals when I realized it just time drift and wouldn't last long without regular maintenance from someone with the tools and knowledge/skill, not to mention someone in this very comment section mentions a mechanical watch suffering a death from drop onto carpeted floor.

Mechanical watches are cool, but I easily spend less time without my PineTime (which I'm surprised nobody else in these comments has even mentioned) working than my friend spends manually syncing his seiko back to time/maintaining it.
Honestly, I see it as accidentally good design. Take the "laser turret pointer" mentioned earlier. If you're not doing an optics simulation, but engage in the magical thinking (usual in storytelling) and treat the impact point as the entity of interest, then... making the impact point another actor on the scene suddenly makes perfect sense. Between the article and the comments, a lot of things bunnies/spectral cats/minions are known to be used for make perfect sense, and I'd consider explicitly planning for it when designing a new game.

Still:

> But they still made lots of money this flawed system, though, which is a good reminder, that the most important thing for any product is usually, does it work?

That is a very good point, especially in videogames/entertainment. Reminds me of the "first law of 3D game graphics" I read somewhere - "if it looks good, it's good - no matter the amount of cheating going on".
You keep straw manning me.

I never said Palestinians did not emigrate to the area.

I'm refuting the fact that you're saying Jews are indigenous to the land there. That's completely false.

It's so ironic that you tell me to learn history and claim these are basic facts when the paper your OWN paper that you linked refutes you. It literally says Palestinians and Jews come Caananites. Which is true. Because the Jews and other folks mixed with Caananites. That's what I'm saying mate. Abraham emigrated from Iraq to the land of Canaan. He had Isaac who had Israel and then that's how the 12 tribes of Israel conquered the land of Judea. They spread their seed early on. But they were not indigenous.

You literally have no clue about what you're talking about.

We do have reference optimizers implemented for use on our system and available in the `cerebras_pytorch` package, but this isn't because those are the only ones supported; instead, no vanilla pytorch optimizer is currently `torch.compile()` compatible. The main difference is that we pre-initialize the optimizer state instead of doing it lazily in the first `step()`

I just fail to see why we are going above 1 or 2 Gig, considering even 1 Gig is fairly uncommon for people to have.

The fastest speeds I have ever realistically seen is on my Xbox capping out at about 650, maybe 700. I think steam caps out at about 150.

I don't say this as "how could you need that much speed" but more, realistically is anything going to be able to even return those speeds especially taking into account the bottlenecks between you and those servers.

Edit: Maybe if you have several Xbox's but even so, with 2 heavy gamers we have never had to have a situation where the other was impacted by what one was doing.

Live in a European city, I got off a tram and I and 2 other people wanted to cross a small 2-lane street (both lanes going the same direction). The near lane is free, but the far lane is busy with cars coming (but at a slow speed) because they're coming up to a red light. So I and another pedestrian took a step back off the near lane to stand on the sidewalk of the tram stop, meanwhile the 3rd pedestrian, glued to her phone, is standing in the middle of the near lane waiting for the cars of the far lane to come to a stop. I was totally bemused, she didn't seem to realize at all she was in the middle of the road, luckily there were no cars coming. Then again the level of driver attention where I live is very good, they would've spotted her.

On Instagram I see a lot of car crashes, mostly from the US and China. It seems like a lot of drivers go at a very high speed and are distracted...

Gluing pieces of C together was literally the reason I started using Python back in the 1990s.

My other two main options were Tcl and Perl. Tcl was excellent at gluing, but worse at scaling, with no namespaces (then) and OO only as third-party add-ons.

Perl extensions were not so easy (better with Perl 5), and much as I enjoyed the language, handling complex data structures, was not for the faint-hearted.

Gluing pieces of C together is why we have NumPy, PyQt, pywin32, wxPython, and tens of thousands of other packages that work with C/C++/Fortran libraries.

And on top of this, other voice apps are merged with the list of incoming calls, e.g. discord calls show up in the same list as phone calls.

This really highlights the intentional degradation of chat behavior. From a pure user experience standpoint, Apple’s own product does not meet their own philosophy and guidelines applied to other categories of app.

> I wonder what new use-case (like video streaming) will emerge that will push utilization beyond 1Gbps.

AR/VR are subject to latency. You'll be able to download the 2-3 digit gig files for the worlds quickly, though!

Serving files isn't _quite_ so latency sensitive, though. I can see "backup EVERYTHING to your home NAS AND our cloud!" being a more common scenario though. To be clear, we already have this but it's usually a single appliance limited to less than 10 disks/100TB and there is no "offsite" mirror; when you remotely access a file on your synology/wd...etc appliance, you're pulling it from the NAS on your LAN over your ISP.
For the same reason that we prefer typing on a physical keyboard instead of a flat touchscreen. When you need to type for more than a few minutes, screens can be exhausting. This device is aimed at people who use them for hours every day.

Also, unlike a phone, the advantage of a single-purpose device is that it doesn't need to be switched back to the right app, is unlikely to crash, and isn't something you depend on for a whole load of other things in your life.

If you're cheap/privacy/FOSS focused like myself, I find the "PineTime" is largely the modern day Pebble watch.

It may not literally watch every breath you take while you sleep, but I haven't wanted that personally anyways.

Only real drawbacks are battery life is only OK (about a week or so depending), the IPS screen can be bright in the dark (though it's a nice flashlight) and it only has 1 meter of water resistance, though it seems well sealed enough to trust it if I fall into water momentarily. (And really, swimming/showering with watches is kind of niche anyways)

My project at the moment is to try to make a mechanical watch.

The concept is that it will only have one hand (the hour hand), and the mainspring barrel will encircle the entire movement, you'll wind it up by rotating the bezel (and therefore the outer part of the barrel) clockwise, and the mainspring will drive the inner barrel clockwise. The hour hand is mounted directly on the inner barrel (which therefore completes 1 revolution per 12 hours), and the rest of the movement only exists to regulate the speed at which the inner barrel rotates. So the rest of the movement will be a series of gearings-down, with an escapement at the end.

And to set the time, the movement will be mounted into the case with a ratchet, such that when you turn the bezel anticlockwise, the entire movement (and therefore the hand) rotates anticlockwise allowing you to set the hand. You'll only be able to set it as precisely as the ratchet (i.e. you'd need 720 positions of the ratchet to set it to 1-minute precision), but the watch will never keep particularly good time anyway so I don't think this is a problem.

Yesterday I got an escapement at almost-watch-scale ticking for the first time, albeit erratically and requiring enormous drive torque: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvNODOp6uBc (3d printed for expediency, the real one will all be machined; and I say "almost-watch-scale" because although it fits inside the 50mm diameter that I am aiming for, it is obviously too thick to go inside a sensible watch).
