I think we've largely forgotten what live over-the-air television was like for quite a few decades: TV shows and movies split up by blocks of 5-6 30 second ads, including ads for other shows later in the week. We'd either sit through them, bored, or find something else to do. (Or pause recording on the VCR. Heh.)

Hell, they'd even show a bumper with the title of the show sometimes just to break up the large chunk of ads.

Once we got a taste of what it was like to NOT have ads, and have more control over what/when we watch... boy did they screw themselves. I can't enjoy OTA television anymore. Both the nearly nonstop ads, and the "appointment television" necessity if you don't have a DVR.

But at least on OTA television, the ads at least had some kind of quality control (at least back in the day). All the ads (or 'sponsored content') I see on YouTube and friends are some of the most disgusting garbage.

And now ATSC 3.0 is introducing paid paywalls for BROADCAST TELEVISION. So even OTA television is about to pass the enshitification red line.

Add in the decline of physical media sales, and... well, there's some dark days ahead, and you can thank shortsighted greed for it.
“Live” experience through VR is going to be big.

There will be a point at which the VR experience will be better than the “nosebleeds” (they may already be).

At that point this really expands the audience for live shows.

Webcam experiences (eg having a chat with a celebrity) are going to be in huge demand once VR gets good latency and resolution.
Piracy is alive and well, has been since the late 90s and early 00s. Never seen an ad in my life.
The most powerful chip in the list (Cypress CYPD4126) has 30x general purpose I/O pins.[1]

AFAIK, this is typical of USB controller chips, which generally have about 20-30 I/O pins, but I’m sure there are outliers.

The AGC seems to have four 16-bit input registers, and five 16-bit output registers[2], for a total of 144 I/O pins total.

SpaceX perde il suo Iconico Booster Falcon 9: Dettagli sul Perdita del B1058 a Natale

SpaceX ha subito una perdita significativa il giorno di Natale con il danneggiamento irreparabile del suo famoso booster Falcon 9, noto come B1058, durante il trasporto dalla sua ultima missione. Il primo stadio è caduto sul ponte della piattaforma autonoma Just Read the Instructions a causa delle avverse condizioni meteorologiche nei pressi di Port Canaveral, a meno di 100 miglia di distanza.

Questo booster, protagonista di 19 lanci e atterraggi di successo, è stato il capoflotta di SpaceX, partecipando anche alla storica missione Demo-2 che ha segnato il ritorno degli astronauti statunitensi dal suolo americano dopo l'era dello Space Shuttle.

La perdita è stata attribuita a una combinazione sfortunata di fattori, compresi i venti forti e le onde, oltre all'età del razzo stesso, mancante di parti aggiornate. I dirigenti di SpaceX hanno sottolineato il valore residuo del B1058, pianificando di recuperare dati preziosi e motori per ulteriori ispezioni.

Sebbene il suo destino sia stato compromesso, c'è ancora la speranza di raccogliere dati utili dal booster danneggiato, mentre SpaceX continua la sua ricerca spaziale, nonostante questa perdita significativa, con altri lanci previsti entro la fine del 2023.
I’m not disputing that it’s a problem. Only pointing out that there is now a workable solution that can be used after you get rid of an iPhone.
I don't see why selling at a loss would warrant exclusion. If anything, that just grants these companies the power to undercut incentives for competition that would allow fair competition.

Apple treats their iPhones like Microsoft and Sony treat their consoles: some kind of brand experience that makes you part of a distinguished group of Brand Name customers who enjoy their Brand Name lifestyle. If we're preventing Apple and Google from pulling this bullshit, we should take on consoles too.

It doesn't really matter what functionality consoles offer or not. These things could run Windows if it weren't for the DRM that locks them down, and some Chinese stores will sell you boards using the same CPU/GPU but running Windows instead. They have HDMI, USB ports, ethernet, and all the hardware to be used as a serious device. Their OS and APIs are a bit weird but I can't see a reason why you couldn't used them as a basic home PC if you install a browser and an office suite, other than that their vendors won't let you download software outside of their walled gardens.

This finding could be quite useful (LLM 1 refers to GPT-3.5 and LLM 2, GPT-4):

"Reproducibility analyses revealed that highly reproducible answers were more likely to be answered correctly than inconsistent answers by LLM 1 (66 of 88 [75.0%] vs 5 of 13 [38.5%]; P = .02), potentially indicating another marker of confidence of LLMs that might be leveraged to filter out invalid responses. The same observation was made with LLM 2, with 78 of 96 correct answers (81.3%) in those with high reproducibility vs 1 of 4 (25.0%) in answers with low reproducibility (P = .04)."

The paper submitted 50 independent queries to assess self-consistency. Exploring the trade-off graph between the number of queries and the effectiveness to filter likely invalid responses would be interesting.
I've worked in automotive where literally everything except the infotainment systems are in C.

Almost all, if not all, firmware is in C.

Also, not to mention every operating system.

I really don't know where the "bugs are horrible" argument grounds itself on. I've worked on large C, rust, go, python and even Haskell codebases. Everyone of them had their share of super corner case bugs.

The systems which use the simplest concepts and tools tend to have the least bugs cause they are more readable and hence fixable.
You're probably missing the fact that SimCity and SimCity 2000 are different games. In particular the original was a 2D overhead view (like TFA), but 2000 was a 3D isometric view.

Surprisingly only 4 years apart though.
Korean language is highly flexive and position dependent, like Classical Latin. If anything, dyslexia will manifest more severly in Korean than in English since there's more free variables to mess up.

I feel like I/O would be the real pain point there. I suppose if you throw out performance you could forward X/VNC/whatever over serial (possibly with TCP/IP in the middle; SLIP is ugly but so flexible), but that's unlikely to be playable.

For anyone that has worked at "large global companies" they will know that Infosys and TechM are some of the worst things about working at said companies.

The best Indian engineers aren't working at these body shops, instead it's the bottom of the barrel and all of them are looking to either get promoted quickly or get out just as fast. As a result it's a revolving door of "resources" (urgh corp speak) that have to constantly be brought up to speed.

This is largely why most large enterprises operate on a bit of a seesaw w.r.t outsourcing.

They have in-house people do the thing, it's expensive and some new exec that just got hired or promoted tries to score a quick win outsourcing stuff.

So that continues for 2 years until exec gets their bonuses and leaves but now everything is a huge mess, business functions are paralyzed by outsourcing etc.
Some new exec that was brought in to take the fall gets thrown out despite none of this being their fault.

New expensive exec is hired to fix everything, they hire a new in-house team, usually at inflated rates because you need to offer a premium to clean up Infosys/TechM messes. Everything starts looking good again after 18-24 months but the exec that fought for and protected the in-house team is now surplus to requirements and on the way out.

Cycle then repeats ad infinitum.

It is a hard problem to solve. Switching usernames doesn't fix the issue but could be more noise. Even disappearing messages is only noise, but stronger than the former. Probably pretty helpful because I don't think people are scraping every day but that could change.

A line has to clearly be drawn somewhere, otherwise as per my previous comment you could also consider that ad/malware blocking is unauthorized access to websites/malware developers' servers (since you download the ads/malware but then your security solution blocks them).

The typical cases of unauthorized access are quite different in the sense that a private system is being accessed and private data may be exposed. It doesn't really apply to iMessage though - alternative clients don't exceed their authorization (the use the same auth flow as a real device and are granted the exact same privileges) and no private data is being disclosed (just like a real device, the user only has access to their own Apple IDs/phone number's messages).

The only argument that could be made is that allowing non-iOS devices access effectively freeloads off Apple's server resources, but Beeper did offer to support payment of a reasonable fee and yet Apple never took them up on this offer nor ever raised this issue, which confirms the (expected) fact that server resource usage (which is minimal btw) is the least of their worries.
How do they inject the ads? It might be worth running your own little dns like adguard home or pi hole (or paying for nextdns)
Depends on the kid. Don't you think?

100% of insulin-dependent diabetics who don’t get enough insulin will die. Most people in unskilled entry-level jobs which pay less than a bureaucrat’s notion of what’s required to survive will not die, at least in the short term. Unskilled entry-level jobs have never really been a viable career, but they do serve a valuable function. Eliminating them by setting the price higher than the value seems like a backward step (e.g. if you’re a teenager or student trying to make a bit of extra cash).

EE details relevant to electronics board designers are kinda important and interesting, and I have a lot of sympathy for "technically correct". But that veritasium video was a trick question, and a misleading video. It subtly shifted between ideal model to real-world effects to smugly show how most skilled EEs are wrong about electricity, but Derek knows the truth.

In a simplified circuit model it would work like a circuit, in a as-real-world-as-possible model it would always be dominated by interference. In a carefully-segregated-semi-real model, it would be less than 1% on after 1/c seconds, would you really call that on? If it was, then 100% on would be way too much current!

So many minutes spent without explaining that the real world is very complicated and EEs apply different models to different situations as appropriate, and it's silly to say that only the field matters not the electrons because of course the electrons cause the field while the field moves the electrons, and the original question is a trick because it's an idealized thought experiment which tries to trick you into applying the wrong model but that's silly because it's an idealized thought experiment which wouldn't work in the real world so it's only purpose is to exercise a simplified model ...

Hah, that video really ticked me off at the time. Technically true, but only in the least meaningful way possible.
I'm intrigued as well. Here's my Q&A with GPT-4 itself:

"Q: What was the data cutoff date when GPT-4 was first released?

A: The data cutoff for GPT-4, which means the point at which it stopped being trained on new data, was September 2021. This cutoff date is significant as it means GPT-4's training did not include information or events that occurred after this time."
Ninjafiles are not designed to be edited by hand, it expects more sane, language-aware tooling to generate the dependency graph, for ninja to execute. https://ninja-build.org/manual.html#_design_goals

Though you could also argue that writing makefiles by hand is equally foolish. Use a tool designed for the job and not some duct tape that “works” everywhere but barely keeps things together. The example in the OP is missing handling of headers #including other headers, just to give one obvious example.
Yet, anywhere I have a choice between old and new, I choose the new, and do ignore the old. Except println(), hard pass.
> There is no need to accept demographic decline as the price of prosperity.

For a very questionable definition of prosperity. (and decline as a value proposition instead of a simple numeric one is also a bit of a prejudgement)

My recommendation for a prosperity which would extend to the XX portion of the population: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38651927

A way around the fundamental unfairness of this proposal would be to follow the principle of "one cuts, the other chooses". If men propose the economic pie must be unequally portioned, women should get to decide whether they get the small or the big piece.
“it's unethical/immoral to offer a fraction of a livable wage to desperate people who have no other options”

The lack of other options or desperation of the applicant are not the responsibility of the individual business making the offer. In a socialised economy, on the other hand, you might have a point.
But do they account for people like me who after seeing too many ads just say "Fuck it, I'm out of here"? Cable TV companies also tried to show bunch of ads to already paying customers who then started leaving in droves as soon as there was a way out[0].

General Purpose Analog Computer
One limitation I see to the marginal cost model is the lack of information about how many of the part-time drivers got a more expensive car because they expected the extra income from driving to pay for itself.

For example, Uber requires a 4-door car that can carry 4 passengers. Someone may waver between buying a 2-door and more expensive 4-door model, and justify buying the latter to work for Uber part-time.

Similarly, it assumes one-person = one-car but there are one-car families. If one of the families decides to become a two-car family with the new vehicle used 50% for Uber, with the Uber work helping to pay for the car, then the marginal cost model also becomes more like the pro-rata model.

Without driver survey information, it's hard to say how this affects the marginal cost model is.

Uber also says the vehicle "cannot have any cosmetic damage, missing pieces, commercial branding or taxi paint jobs", so while plenty of people are willing to drive their own beat-up car, they need extra repair work to drive for Uber. This additional cost cannot be described as a marginal cost.

Again, I don't know how big an effect this might be, only observe I couldn't find where the authors mention this point.

I'm also a bit put off by this sentence: "The highest possible cost would be a driver renting a car ($290.66) and getting private personal insurance ($19.25) for
$309.91 per week."

The $19.25/week is based on: "We have also included additional personal insurance. Such insurance costs vary widely, but in downtown Seattle an average seems to be $77 per month or $19.25 a week, which is considerably cheaper than buying insurance through the rental car company."

That number seems to be from 2021, at https://web.archive.org/web/20210613171346/https://quotewiza... which says:

> In Seattle, insurance rates vary based on which neighborhood you live in. The Seattle neighborhood with the most expensive insurance rates is Columbia City, where average rates cost $90 per month. Compare that to Seattle’s cheapest neighborhood, downtown, where average rates are only $77 per month.

Thing is, at the top of the page it says "On average, your neighbors pay $129 a month". This may be because "It's not a great idea to buy only legal minimum coverage. While it costs less, minimum coverage becomes more expensive if you file a claim."

Thus, the sentence is wrong, as that's choosing the lowest possible private personal insurance, rather than the average for the city.

Which means the $309.91/month does not reflect "the highest possible cost" because it's choosing the lowest possible location cost for the lowest possible insurance - and most Uber drivers don't live in downtown Seattle, I assume. Do they also all opt for the minimum insurance? I don't know, but surely that number is relevant.

Do people who opt to drive part-time for Uber keep their existing insurance coverage, or do they get higher insurance coverage? I don't know, and I didn't see the report consider this non-marginal cost.

Everything was in ROM: 16k BASIC, 16k operating system, optional 16k disk operating system. The 464 (“646” is a typo) shipped with a cassette deck, not a floppy disk drive, so there was no possibility of loading the OS from volatile storage.
> Judging them against the competition seems fair but that's not the goal post they set for themselves.

Honest question, why does it seem fair to judge them against the goal they set for themselves rather than what they've achieved? To take the reverse example it means you should judge people really highly when they set really simple goals and then exceed the very simple goal. That doesn't seem very reasonable.

And to be clear, that goal you're talking about is the goal of SpaceX overall, not Falcon 9 specifically. The goal for Falcon 9 this year was 100 launches. They're on track to reach 96 or 97 this year, they're at 94 so far. I don't remember any plans to give Falcon 9 airline operations, unless you go back really far (around a decade ago) when there was still plans for Falcon 9 upper stage reusability.

The creators of the web site specifically mention SimCity 2000 flavor for their inspiration. But regardless, let's assume that they wanted to imitate the original SimCity: having a 2D street map doesn't make something automatically SimCity style. Otherwise, every map app would be SimCity style. Again, great site. I see some icons from SimCity, but I don't see a web page in SimCity style, hence my objection to mentioning "SimCity style" in the title.
