That's true, it does assume that. I have never seen a project where this common hypothetical actually became reality so until proven otherwise I'm OK with assuming that Bigfoot is a myth.

I have however seen many projects where management did understand their product and their market well enough to plan strategy more than 24 hours in advance. Their developers could then be reasonably confident about what they'd be working on for a while and act accordingly. If your organisation is functional on this basic level then getting the right people together early to gather information and consider alternatives and sketch out a design is useful for the same reasons that getting peer review when the code is done is useful or that having more than one person writing tests or doing QA is useful.

It's far more efficient to identify and correct problems early in software development. If you skip the up-front discussions and planning entirely then you miss several useful opportunities to do that. Typically in that scenario the problems are either identified and corrected during code review at the earliest or - worse - they are not identified and corrected at that stage either because the right people didn't have the right information to see the problem or because they did see it but it was judged too expensive to fix by then - and so the resulting bugs and tech debt make it through.
My point is that RCS exists essentially to “paper over the badness” of SMS. So does iMessage. And implementing support for RCS at this stage of the game is Apple investing resources in fixing their SMS problem, using an imperfect solution that was introduced to paper over the issues with SMS.

Maybe I misunderstood what you meant by papering over the badness.
Let's be honest, the average user will not do this. In fact, this comment reminds me of the infamous Dropbox one which suggested a similar failure of UX.
“We will not host content we don’t agree with on our servers.”

Boring Tunnel is already not what it was promised to be. Not so sure about the Solar city but that might revive.
The device itself will work in any old slot.

Unfortunately the protocols that run on top, and the filesystems that are typically stored on them, both have maximum size limits.

Generally, laptops/desktops will have no trouble. Your 2002 camera on the other hand probably won't work with it...
On the contrary, my experience with autism is interventions which simply treated me as if I had a mental age which was maybe 5+ years behind my actual age. Since about age 7, I was actively resisting my autism treatment, and by age 9 I started to do so in a more deliberate way where I tried to appeal to the bureaucracy, to no avail since the school had no legal right to deny me the treatment that I nominally needed. It was scaled back only by age 11, and never totally stopped until adulthood.

"Autism" as a diagnosis sort of prescribes people be treated in standardised discriminatory ways from early childhood for their nominal best interests, rather than simply giving you a set of advice you can pick and mix from. This is likely to result in homogenous and harmful treatment in practice.

I'm also DEEPLY sceptical of autism I.E. clinically significant differences in social behaviour all being caused by some unified biological cause, given the decades long failure to find this smoking gun, my conclusion is that DSM-V categorisations are a social construction which don't map 1:1 with what is going on biologically. The more I learn about the sheer variance autistics really have in symptoms, and how we see clusters of symptoms like insomnia or digestive issues which don't even appear on the DSM-V at all, the more convinced I get that autism is really more than 1 thing. We even know about things like fragile X syndrome, which most autistics don't have, but which reliably causes a high incidence of autism. The project which seems to have the most momentum in overhauling DSM-V taxonomy is the RDOC framework. I honestly think that autism is multiple overlapping conditions is downright obvious, and I think the main reason it isn't taken more seriously is that Autism has become a useful brand.
There’s a service to play vga planets over the Internet as well. Googling will find it.
We already have a 700mph metal tube in a partial vacuum transport solution: passenger jets.

Arguably, the main inefficiency there is that airports are located far from city centers and involve large amounts of time and financial friction. So where's the startup to make downtown SF -> SFO -> the door of the plane take 30 minutes instead of 2 hours?

> It is disconcerting to have the lane warning alarm go off five times in a 30 minute span.

These lane departure systems are trash, in my experience. They can’t distinguish between real lane markings, cracks filled with sealant, old lane markings that have been painted over, etc.

The worst thing is when they take over your steering wheel for these phantom departures. I hate it, and always disable these systems in rental cars.
Modern cameras often utilize CFexpress cards rather than microSD
It is wild to me that OEM's can straight up include tech to defeat emissions testing and be allowed to continue building engines after that is found. Like, all regulators should operate from the assumption that the entities they're regulating are working in good faith: but once it's been demonstrated they are not, how can you ever trust a product they produce again? They and every other company found to be doing this should be barred from producing engines for good. Or at the very fucking least, be subject to an INCREDIBLE level of scrutiny regarding their software for a solid many years to follow. Like, every single line audited for compliance.
People are going to think this stuff is serious and then make decisions based on machine hallucinations.

We're hitting diminishing returns in manufacturing, irrespective of consumer vs enterprise markets. The biggest datacenter SSD today is 100TB, up from 60TB in 2016. That's just 67% growth over 7 years. And the price per TB has risen significantly for these high end drives since then, so it is a lot more economical to just buy more smaller drives.
I believe it needed the efficiency gains to meet MPG (L/100km) requirements.

So it really couldn't meet both. At least not at the same time.

Will ChatGPT Make Programmers Obsolete? (Matthew Berman) [video]
I found this video, where I disagree violently with the notion that AI will eventually replace programmers. While AI can certainly assist in coding tasks, as demonstrated by tools like GitHub's CoPilot, CodeLLaMA or other similar local offline capable code AI models, I believe it's unlikely to fully replace human programmers. Programming involves not just writing code, but also problem-solving, understanding complex systems, keeping the overview of the whole codebase, and making nuanced decisions. These are areas where AI currently falls short and may always struggle due to the inherent complexity and variability of these tasks. And AIs aren't free from errors, in other words, one still has to check everything oneself anyway. Therefore, I see AI as a tool that can aid programmers, making their work more efficient and accurate, rather than a threat that could replace them. Therefore, in my opinion, they will never replace human programmers, they are and will always remain just another tool for software development. At least for the foreseeable future.
Imagine storing whole internet text from November/December 2023 on 5 such microSD cards (CommonCrawl.org WET files for this crawl are 9.30 TiB)...

"The upcoming 2TB card, dubbed the 'EXCERIA PLUS G2' is said to have read speeds of up to 100 MB a second and write speeds of up to 90 MB a second. This 2TB size now hits the upper storage capacity of the defined SDXC standard."

Meta: I hope in the near future every book will come with its own tuned LLM that can answer questions specific about a particular section/problem of the book.

The Commodore machines at least had a fairly extensive set of graphics symbols to create basic [pun not intended] graphics. For sound, though, there indeed wasn't really anything in Commodore BASIC V2.

IMO this is very wrong. Most real applications of quantum computers will need thousands of error correct qbits (aka millions of real qbits). At the current growth rate in qbits of <100 qbits per year, if the growth was linear, it would be about 10000 years before we had quantum computers solving real problems.
you guys can find another way to say this, but one way is to convince people is that somehow vegan poon is worse.

because right now, the younger generation considers it better, and their pescatarian and vegan girlfriends are more fit and health conscious in other regards than the "pick me" omnivores. there was a time when people found the non-meat eaters to be burdensome, this is less the case now and the health conscious crowd is superior in other ways, and lean and attractive.

again, I understand that some people won't like how this phrasing makes them feel, thats a you problem.
Neato Robotics, what a shame. I LOVE my Neato botvacs. I'm going to have to preserve them in a 90% saline solution and freeze them at -24C now, along with my Nokia Communicator with a working installation of Doom on it.

This article tackles a fascinating topic around protein and healthspan, and the author's investigation is commendable. However, despite a well-laid-out data process, the specifics of the protein-carb ratios aren't clear, and the abstract doesn't offer much clarity either. Even ChatGPT couldn't unravel the specifics. It seems there's a clarity issue - is the key point subtly hidden, or am I overlooking something in the data details?
That emerge has a second phase - as one side is 2nd order and the other side is first order, time and space are not of the equal footing. To be compatible with special relativity where time and space are on equal footing one has to … this line of thinking generate the quantum field theory. Still, if I remember correctly he is more onto differential equation.

Later a physics PhD wants deeper or via different path or many lathes. Instead of light know the shortest time, light just goes all paths and we integrate the result.

Philosophically it is the integration first approach of Leibniz vs the differentiation first of newton. Or that in his theology God see all paths and find the best for us. Except it is not God. And all pathes are going (except due to phase only some will be observed.

Btw, these two line of thinking is so different one can easily see - if you see tangent line/plane etc you see it is possibly Newtonian approach. See general relativity or certain formation of the Qft. If you see integration and many paths, you use Leibniz approach. See Qft in its current form.
HOAs were never originally a good thing. From their very beginnings in the early 1900s, they served to exclude racial and religious minorities from buying homes.

These racial/religious covenants were only struck down in 1968 with the Fair Housing Act. But because HOAs still get to investigate, interview, and reject prospective buyers, many of them still discriminate unofficially. As a consequence, some minorities (e.g., Black people) are underrepresented in HOA neighborhoods.
I've read the second edition together with the student manual (https://learningtheartofelectronics.com/) which has additional explanations for some tricky concepts plus extra exercises.

I can really recommend it as a starting point from no/minimal knowledge to having a good overview of the key concepts.

It doesn't cover (at least the 2nd ed didn't) fancy digital stuff (modern microcontrollers, USB, FPGAs, etc) but there are great free online resources for that.
You're right, it is not a given.

Progress only looks like a straight shot in hindsight. Yes, we can take any invention today and trace every step back to the previous to make a single unbroken chain to the invention of the wheel.

I learned programming in BASIC. One nice thing about BASIC is that it allowed for a mechanistic model of what the computer was doing at each line. Being able to work through a program on paper was especially useful when lack of access to a physical computer for more than a few minutes a day discouraged trial-and-error programming.

I think the idea of learning one bad thing and being ruined for life is a misconception about learning.

Every single US developer maybe.

In Mexico DST started in 1994 so developers who started before that (hello!) did need some adjustment and operating system support was not a given.

There are also countries where DST is not observed or differs from the US yet developers from those countries might be working remotely for a US company, with US developers or needing to accommodate a significant US clientele.

It's a typical corporate effect. Management, with no expertise or even competency, creates absurd schedules and goals and thinks that somehow, just by fiat and edict, they can bend physics and make it so.
Holy shit that’s a great way of putting it.

No, I'm not going to play that game. The validity of my argument does not rest on my ability to draft a specific content policy for a website. I'm not an expert in that field and I assume the process of doing so to standard would require far more time and effort than this conversation is worth.

Substack's actual content policy is here[0], and as you can read it already contains prohibitions of various kinds of content. Feel free to substitute "Nazi ideology" with "material that advocates, threatens, or shows you causing harm to yourself, other people, or animals" or "sexually exploitative content" if you like.

We're just arguing about where to draw the lines in the sand, but clearly drawing those lines is possible.

I had a similar experience using Organic Maps for hiking. I was hiking on a forested hill near an urban center. Both Google and Apple Maps only had a couple of the biggest trails while organic maps showed an extensive network. This was really helpful for exploring but I ended up having to take a pretty long detour to get back since the trail I had planned to take didn’t exist. I also encountered a trail marked on the map that had obviously been closed for years and was extremely overgrown. I really like the app but I wouldn’t trust the data for backcountry navigation at all.

A lot. POS taggers used to be linear classifiers + features. In 2018 they switched to BERT and similar encoder-only models. In 2023, POS tagging is largely irrelevant, because it was used as a part of a larger pipeline, but now you can have everything end-to-end with better accuracy by fine-tuning a sufficienly large pretrained model (LLM or encoder-decoder like T5)
(daytime + clear weather + reasonable road conditions + vehicle in front) AND (mapped freeways + CA/NV + below 40mph)

So... That rules out nearly all driving, probably usable for 0.1% of driving.

* There is microSD from 1999, max capacity is 2GB.

* Then there is the 2006 update microSDHC, max capacity was 32GB.

* And since 2009 we use microSDXC, max capacity is 2TB.

* In 2019, the next update came out, microSDUC, max capacity is 128TB. As far as I know there are no actual products yet.

You need a reader of the same type of your card or higher. Otherwise, it might not work at all, or you can only read the first x gb of your larger card.

"I don't think we discussed this topic. What kind of restrain you are talking about now? "

Well, it surely is possible you did not read it, but just look above in the thread:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38746724

"Israel's defense minister said he has "released all restraints" on the Israel Defense Forces' troops in their fight "

Militray restrain means watching where you are shooting - and not shooting if the danger of civilian deaths are too high. The IDF officially given up on using restraint - and the number of civilian deaths and among them many, many children show it.

So fighting terror with terror? That's what it seems to me. And being called a puppet for one side, because I critize both sides - is just a very typical thing for this whole debate.

This book was pivotal for me.

In grad school, my advisor recommended this book, saying, "it will be right up your alley." I bought the second edition, and it was. It is truly a graduate level course in circuit design. I started reading this book (2nd edition) front-to-back, and when I finished it, I started again. It helped me innumerable times when I quit grad school and entered industry.

When the third edition came out, I was at Google in Cambridge, and Horowitz came to talk. I had bought a counterfeit copy from Amazon (by accident), and while he didn't sign it then, he did sign it later (when I got a real copy).

Personally, I think it's worth owning both the second and third editions of this book. It is truly one of the best books about electrical engineering out there.
Thank fuck science is not “based on elected individuals” (or in other words “whoever my Facebook memes agree with”). What an utterly baffling position to have that “the pursuit of knowledge should be limited to preconceived ramblings of the uneducated”.

If it was a “form of protest”, they wouldn’t pull right in front of cyclists and roll coal on them. They are doing that purely based on preconceived notions that all cyclists are leftists, and they just want to make that cyclist angry.

If you want an example of “groupthink”, a perfect one is “climate science is wrong cause my Facebook memes say so”.
