Considering that Apple has opened up third-party apps to do autofill for things like passwords (I autofill password fields from Bitwarden on iOS all the time), this seems a lot less like an advantage they're gating to their app and more like a potential feature they just haven't shipped yet because it has no use case at the moment (since right now nobody sends 2FA codes over any platform other than SMS). If it became widespread to use WhatsApp, Signal etc. for sending 2FA codes, I'm pretty sure Apple would add it.

There's not really much other system integration with iMessage either, other than some Siri stuff I doubt sees much use. It's surprisingly disconnected from the rest of the operating system.
> That being said, that's also a shitty situation for consumers, as having many or different app stores is confusing and just leads to the very fragmentation people have complain about on Android for a decade.

Are people confused because they can choose whether to buy things at Walmart, Target, Amazon or the local convenience store? Is this "fragmentation"? Should we get rid of these others and have only Amazon, so people aren't confused?

It's not really that confusing. You can go to any shady website on the internet and give them your credit card number and find out what happens, but people mostly just buy things from stores they trust -- even though there are many of them. Why is this different?

(Actual reason: Because the incumbents suppress the other stores so none of them gets popular enough to establish a reputation with the public at large.)
> Another way to put it is Wayland with a few years of development by a few Linux players (others were building alternatives, while yet others were seeing which one would win out, and yet others were hoping to stay on X11 forever) under its belt, is almost as solid as X11 with many decades of development by all the Linux players.

If Wayland is going to be caught up and have feature parity so soon, then why can't decisions to deprecate and remove X11 be 100% put on hold until then?

> The idea that X11 was a completely working option which had every capability it does today within years of its inception is wrong.

Nobody thinks that. But at the time X11 was missing all of those important features, there wasn't another full-featured option that everyone was rushing to deprecate and remove support for to force everyone onto the immature and incomplete X11, at the expense of things that already worked.

Yup, and until we get a truly general purpose compute GPU that can handle both styles of instruction with automated multi-threading and state management, this will continue.

What I've seen shows me that nVidia is working very hard to eliminate this gap though. General purpose computing on the GPU has never been easier, and it gets better every year.

In my opinion, it's only a matter of time before we can run anything we want on the GPU and realize various speed gains.

The point of armed citizens is not them winning a civil war, but making the restrictions politicians have to subject themselves to, to remain safe, sufficiently inconvenient.

No more cinema, golf, theater, water park, mountain hiking or yachting.

Not being able to take a walk within half a mile of your property's border, always waiting for security to check the cars you are about to use, often having them tell you that you cannot go to xyz, because they lack manpower (or whatever reason) to secure the routes.

Citizens having access to weapons is a deal with the politicians that their daily lifes will only be as great as those of their subjects.

Good fan art is neither sub-par nor copy - what it ultimately is is derivative, generally in the sense that relies on the audience’s prior experience with the source material. You don’t have to go to all the trouble to establish and introduce a world and characters, the audience is already familiar with all that - you can get right down to the alterations that characterize your spin on the story. Transformative works are not illegitimate.

Dismissing works like A Fox In Space (aka Starfox The Animated Series) as ‘a subpar copy’ is ridiculously ignorant.

For me the major story here is that progress is good enough that a car manufacturer is actually trying to tackle this problem:

> Only California and Nevada have approved the new light color. Those are the only states where Mercedes’ “conditionally autonomous” Drive Pilot technology is legal.

> Mercedes Drive Pilot can be used in traffic jams on selected major highways when vehicles are traveling at less than 40 miles an hour. Under those conditions, the driver can take their feet off the pedals, let go of the steering wheel and — this is where is it differs from any other driver assistance system — completely take their eyes off the road.

It's stuff like this that makes me excited that we really will have totally self-driving cars one day - in our lifetimes, and maybe not that far down the line.

Many years ago, I bought a bed/sleep sensor made by Withings. It worked fantastically, for about a year. Decent sleep measures, circadian aware alarm, all that.

Then it just stopped working. Contacting support thought it might be the pad, and they sent me a replacement. That worked for a while longer, until it didn't. At that point, Withings had been sold to Nokia, and wasn't interested in maintaining their system anymore.

I miss it. I'm sure that this system won't be able to do all the measurements the Withings one did, but thats OK. I've got a watch for that. Def. going to have to try this soon!
Definitely at least electrical standards in most countries, and probably USB also specifies that the voltage needs to be isolated from mains.

As a cyclist, I always want cars to have a blue flashing indicator opposite the yellow turning signal, such that if you're turning right the right side flashes yellow (amber) and the left side flashes blue.

If I'm biking on one side of the car, I can't often tell why it's slowing down suddenly like it's about to turn when its signals are hidden on the other side. It's 50/50 whether it's turning the other way, or about to turn right into me and didn't bother to signal.

On a related topic, why aren't turning signals standardized to be the outermost light? I hate it when signal are inside of the headlights, because, again, I get people turning into me and I can't see their signal.

Thanks for the thoughtful and clear explanation!

The analogy to drunk driving makes sense, but in the context of business is it so important to get ahead of the harms that we have to legislate against pre-harms? Innovation and merit and underhanded tactics are in the eye of the beholder, and it seems like we apply a LOT of preexisting notions of who is a good company and who sucks when we evaluate behaviors. That doesn't feel like a sustainable way to write and enforce laws.

> This is actually an example of the opposite. How much time does she spend going inside the bank, waiting in line, and asking a person for help over the course of her life? Is it really less than the amount of time it takes to learn to use an ATM?

One issue with these technologies is, they are not 100% reliable and there's a non-zero chance that you would need to fallback to a human in uncovered edge cases. Speaking of ATM, I personally experienced 20% or higher failure rate when depositing cash via ATMs. Sometimes a retry would work, sometimes not.

There is a nice little rabbit hole to go in to: psychoacoustics of church bells.

https://www.hibberts.co.uk/what-note-do-we-hear-when-a-bell-...

Almost all musical instruments (such as pianos, organs, orchestral instruments and the human voice) have sounds that contain a range of frequencies f, 2f, 3f, 4f and so on where f is the lowest frequency in the sound. The pitch or note we asssign to the sound corresponds to the frequency f. Frequencies with this regular arrangement are called harmonic. The frequencies in the sound of bells, on the other hand, are not harmonic, and the pitch we assign to the sound of a bell is roughly an octave below the fifth partial up ordered by frequency. This partial is called the nominal, because it provides the note name of the bell. There often isn’t a frequency in the bell’s sound corresponding to the pitch we hear.

Don't forget escheat as well!

This is a lawful process in the US where a state government claims your stuff if you haven't touched or looked at it in a long time.

California gets a large percentage of it's revenue from escheat - just literally taking people's stuff (usually stock), without notice.

There are historical reasons that kinda/sorta makes sense, but this has transformed into a monster over time.

It would have to have some intrinsic mechanism to encourage people to store and interact with the system though..maybe people could prove they worked on it and then trade it for other things of value?
That's certainly a good point. I once picked up a manual on my car so that I could fix small things myself and wouldn't be helpless, but I defer to professionals for complex problems because it's not worth my time to learn how to do it myself if I'll only do it once or twice in a lifetime, and if the time it takes to do it is nearly as much as the time it takes to have someone else do it.

I guess the ATM example caught me because I feel ATMs are such a big time-saver!
If the NYC <> Boston bullet train ever happens, Boston will be such an ideal place to live. I already prefer it to NYC personally, but it's true there are "tier 1 global city" things it can't offer.

Like much of the advice "it depends" and "measure it".

Basically hyper-threading shares a whole load of resources between threads. If your code ends up contending on those resources you probably run slower. If your code is blocked due to lack of instruction-level parallelism, it probably runs faster. Generally an expert-optimized numerical code (e.g. machine learning) is going to fall into the first camp as it's pretty easy to kill the ILP bottlenecks in that sort of code.

Before Covid, anti-vax referred to someone who rejected all vaccines. Today, the term is also used to describe people who reject only Covid shots.

I speculate the majority of people who rejected Covid shots didn't do so because of the needle.

These things would be processed faster if we had sane laws and/or procedures around lawsuit discovery requests and motions. Still a problem with the legislature, but also a little with the courts.

We simply do not have enough judges to handle caseloads in a timely fashion. But also, whenever a major company is sued you end up with 8 billion motions that the court has to rule on before you even get close to a trial date.

A major problem is there's no real penalty for wasting the court's time. Companies are incentivized to make longshot motions because in the worst case, the court will just say no. For lawfirms, the more motions you make the bigger their paycheck so they not only go unpunished, they are rewarded for making as many motions as possible.

Nearly every second post on /r/movies for a few years was "Checkout this amazing old classic that's way better than I remembered, it's streaming on Netflix now!"

Also really hilarious when a new movie drops and you read the comments in /r/movies. It's so, so simple to spot the generated "I found this refreshingly hilarious and fresh" comments. "I found the character development very engaging" or "the Director did such a great job on this".

These are always in among the real comments where people sound like actual people, and often say the movie was crap.
> Tesla's Autopilot and its Autosteer feature could be why Tesla is so crash-prone.

It isn't obvious that the mortality rate in a crash involving an autopilot is similar to that without one. It could be considerably higher or lower, something you need to know to make good policy or a smart purchase. If there's enough data for a mortality per crash comparison it didn't make it into the article.
I meant for the ATC to provide a descent estimate of when Lufthansa should be expected to enter the AERODROME TRAFFIC CIRCUIT (since you want tolink the FAA glossary) in order to land (they had them on a hold pattern for 35+ minutes). This is independent of whether the approach is IFR or VFR. A TOWER controller has all the information necessary to calculate that estimate, and should be expected to do so, the same way a stock trader is expected to calculate PnL of their positions on the fly given the current stock price.
Tesla will not need it in the near future.

I appreciate that. Energy could be like 8 cents/kwh though, probably less. I generally consider societies ready access to cheap energy to be the engine that creates wealth, I think we probably agree on that; maybe I havent said enough to convince you that energy could be cheaper, but given that it seems clear to me that any policy which doesnt provide cheaper energy fails categorically.

I dont have a great read on why you are so committed to arguing that the green energy policy has not failed; considering we certainly agree divesting from nuclear was the wrong choice, that the energy wouldnt fit the connotation of green energy, and that we probably (I assume) agree that cheap energy is a critical aspect of developed nations, I am having trouble understanding where you are coming from.

If running a tool like pry (which is not a traditional debugger, for that we have rdbg) slows you down, then that is a tooling problem. Instead of just reading the code, you can read it and explore the API live. To me that's usually far faster beyond a couple of pages worth of code, because you see how the code actually works rather than how you imagine it should.
Also worth observing BLAS is an even weirder case as odds are the CPU architecture designed to ensure they could hit a high % of peak FMA throughput for that kernel, so there's a lot of SW/HW co-design going on there too.
The cloud didn't make anyone over-engineer things. The same folks who overused all the patterns mentioned would have overused other patterns in other contexts if those were the dominant paradigms instead.

Microservices are great when you have different workloads with vastly different performance needs. They're not great when you essentially have a single function running on an entire service. Many things will always be over-engineered because simplicity is hard.
