Reading this and related stories, seems to be related to activist investor pressure. Reading into that, seems that activist investors are pushing Twilio to divest from their Data & Applications business. How I understand it Twilio has moved into "customer engagement" from their initial core business and investors aren't happy with the direction or returns from that business unit.
> I don't understand what Ubuntu's competitive advantage is.

Historically, Linux has always had more distros than the open source community (and the closed-source-but-targeting-linux community I guess) can support to a high standard.

This has meant there is always one leading distro, which everyone packages for and documents for and guides newbie users towards. For a long time this was Red Hat Linux; they decided not to do that any more right about the time Ubuntu came out.

Ubuntu has held onto that position up to this day.

That's not how logic works.

The equivalent statement is "extraordinary evidence doesn't necessarily imply extraordinary claims".
Yes, BBEdit on the Mac has always done that, too. I often open a new tab and paste something in there to keep it around for some indeterminate time. BBEdit saves the temp content until I decide to close the tab or to formally save it and give it a name. It does that even when closing the app or rebooting.
Okay..what is the alternative?
And what if Z-Library or Anna's Archive (respectively 11 and 25 millions of books) were used as sources? Do you remember Recaptcha, which displayed words extracted from scanned material? Maybe the content of these books was extracted with Recaptcha?
>but it's OK to establish your entire business infrastructure on the idea that your young, energetic, engineers will not remain at the company for more than 18 months.

Yeah, it's a tough nut.

It's understandable that SV companies want ambitious strivers that move on every 2 years, for the same reason many of these CEOs consider the "job done" as soon as they get "an exit". The life of the company is measured in months.

But if you're building a company for the long term, you need smart, loyal people who build institutional knowlededge within the company. This isn't something you can fast track, I don't care if you're the brightest MIT AI grad.

You need both.
Dell Optiplex and HP Elitedesk both have lines of SFF boxes similar in size to the Mac Mini. You can get great deals on refurbed ones that have cycled out of business use. They’re also pretty easy to work on if you want to upgrade components.

It certainly has zero bearing on my life.
> Python is pre installed basically everywhere now

Perhaps, but every single Python tutorial I came across when I tried to learn it said to avoid the built-in version, and run it through a VM instead so there woouldn't be any conflicts between v2.7 and v3.

As a learner, this wasn't helpful, it made me think that there'd be bugs and error messages I'd have to troubleshoot before even getting to Hello World. Part of the reason I went with PHP, as I just wanted to build something for my needs, without having to worry about unpredictable behaviours.

Additionally, I can't run a Python web app locally on my phone.

Agree. The site is, to me, almost a parody of what commerce of the 21st Century has become. It is so heavily targeting the affluent, Tesla-driving crowd, they might as well have added, "Get one for your yacht(s) as well."

I miss the days when companies competed on quality and price.

Edit: Also, aren't we all a little jaded by "Reserve yours now, coming in Q4!" I wish companies would go back to shipping already, then putting up the flashy web site.
where are you located. i both do this kind of work and know a fair number of small fabrication shops in the bay area.

all you need to do is look for 'machinist' or 'tool and die' or 'metal fabricator' and make sure its a place that takes on small random work and not some high margin specialized manufacturer. probably call them and get used to rude dismissmals.

show up and shop and ask for the guy in charge. for this kind of work its often done under the table, so offer to pay cash. its very likely that the floor manager or a senior fabricator is going to do this in their spare time and not even put it on the books.

you're gonna pay too much. probably a couple to a few hundred depending on complexity.

you also sometimes ask a metal supplier. they have relationships with these kind of people. they often aren't that friendly though
Those same large corps shifted to hiring again.

One of the factors that they looked at were remote workers when they wanted local, office based workers.

We are also seeing a glut of over hiring to deal with changes in pandemic demands and productivity.

Finally, many companies run on borrowed cash. This means they need to make repayments and with the high interest rates they need to adjust to that.

Once they are meeting their payments comfortably we will see a surge in hiring.

I think there are different types of claims and they require different approaches.

For something purported to be factual and experienced personally (eg. did the accused assault the victim? did person experience alien abduction?), there's arguably no better way to handle these kinds of evidence except through witnesses and their testimony (and maybe cross examination).

Note that whether a single person experienced alien abduction is not a scientific question per se, it is simply a question of a person's subjective experience or memory. There's no hypothesis for this specific factual question, and no laws of nature are involved (yet).

On the other hand, questions such as "what is the gravitational constant", or "why do people report alien abductions?" is a scientific question. For the latter, scientists could hypothesize that (a) aliens are real (b) there's some kind of mass hallucination going on (c) some other weird phenomenon, etc. I think it's actually arguable that we don't have enough evidence to provide a convincing hypothesis about the general phenomenon (of abduction reports), but people confuse this lack of scientific hypothesis with the phenomenon not being real.

If you actually think about it, there's no reason any scientist could authoritatively say whether a particular person actually experienced alien abduction or not, just like no scientist could say whether a particular person had been assaulted or not. We might not have theories to explain the phenomenon, but that doesn't mean the reports are not true.
To be honest I am incredibly disappointed that most of the app mockups I have seen from developers are just 2D windows floating in a 3D space with traditional simple point and click ux. I know that it's only possible to do so much in a simulator, and we'll have to wait to see what devs can really do with the tech, but if this is all we get I think this product is DOA.
Or an easily thawed frozen conflict. The root problems are spelled Saudi Arabia vs Iran and almost certainly somewhere in the curtains, some Russian cheer leading.
One cannot downvote submissions, only comments. This seems to be largely a non-sequitur as one can only not vote up something.

I have, for example, downvoted your comment as it is not useful and is a bit snide or condescending (inclusive “or” to be clear), whereas had you posted your comment as a post, I would not have been able to do so.
I was thinking of the internal Kernel tasks that might block, where it might be possible to have things happen in parallel, like bringing various hardware components online. See the sibling discussion on 200ms startup times.
You can do it right now, in Jellyfin.

And with Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Jellyseerr, Prowlarr, flaresolverr, VPN, and qbittorrent - you can automate a request->watch pipeline for your users.

And if you use distributed block storage, you can make this scale pretty damn big.

(Prowlarr scrapes torrent sites for viable torrents. Uses Flaresolverr to bypass cloudflare shit.

Sonarr Lidarr Radarr - categorizes and prepares downloads for movies, tv shows, and music and submits them to qbittorrent.

Jellyseerr is a request dashboard that works alongside Jellyfin that allows users to request stuff.

VPN/Qbittorrent is a combined tool thats used as a download-endpoint for the whole thing.)

People always make the mistake, year after year, product after product, of doing simple paper comparisons of features and drawing similarity conclusions between different products. They miss that implementation and ecosystem are things that you don’t see on paper.

The Quest 3 offers many of the same technical points on paper, but it’s also not capable of many of the things the Vision Pro can deliver.

Whether that’s multitasking, or having a massive media+App Library, or having a warp free passthrough.

The products aren’t comparable anymore than comparing a budget/subsidized Android phone with a high end Android/iOS phone. They do the same thing, but the details matter.
A business pays no tax on an OpEx. The specific tax on a CapEx depends on the jurisdiction.
I don't remember the catastrophic tones, but I would guess there was heavier coverage for the Ever Given incident because several hundred container ships were effectively stuck until that was resolved. In this case nothing is stuck, ships are just taking a slower route.

It's the difference between "Atlanta Airport shut down indefinitely, all flights cancelled until further notice" and "Bad weather in Atlanta, all flights delayed". Both are newsworthy, but the latter doesn't generate as many headlines. Not to downplay the violence in the Red Sea, obviously it's a lot more serious than bad weather, but I think the analogy is ok.
nonetheless, the point stands. The original phrase is "the plural of anecdote is data" and sometimes in the early aughts that got corrupted to "the plural of anecdote is not data".

It's important, because all of our evidence flows through subjective interpretation and a human reporting mechanism. Even if a computer mainlines some numbers to a data store, there's a subjective force: why did the experimenter choose to focus on those measurements?
This was my assumption as well, when I started this compiler. It just did not play out this way with most code that I have written for it. The native code optimizer is able to reduce 16bit arithmetic to 8bit in many cases, where it can prove that the value range is small, and also avoid many pointer/stack operations by global call chain analysis. Both benefit the native code path
I have yet to see a demonstration that it “learns like a human”. Even if it did, that’d be very shaky legal grounds for anything. Almost everything man-made “makes something like a human”, because we made the thing, and it is convenient for us to have things that are similar to us in some ways. That doesn’t mean that we have to start giving gloves special legal treatment, since they have 5 fingers, like humans do.

I mean, this link literally says he coined the term to mean “a fund that is hedged against market risk” so I have no idea what you two are even arguing?

I would just be aware that the format of your post here is very recognizable as a marketing tactic, even if you didn't intend it to be. If you have a novel method or idea to share, then share it. The fact that you built up a problem but said "let me know if you'd like to join our waitlist" without offering the slightest hint as to what the solution is a big red flag.

You would have gotten a better response if you simply explained your idea and asked for feedback on it.
Yeah, the NUC form factor is going to be closest to what OP is looking for. My only concern is the desire for games, I don't think there are very many tiny PCs that are also capable of excellent gaming—if it's just steam library history, I bet these will still do okay with their integrated graphics.
I've only heard the term used by introverts, neurodivergent folk, etc to describe limited capacity/stamina for being in social situations before they become fatigued and overwhelmed.

There is an advantage of using pie charts when you have lots of categories, especially when some are tiny slivers. It's that you can see which items are negligible in terms of their relative contributions. A world GDP pie chart gives a good representation of how international GDP is distributed, and which countries represent only a sliver of the total.

EDIT: Typo
Politicians absolutely do not get the benefit of the doubt by default. We must assume they are corrupt and mendacious all the time and put mechanisms into place to force them to not be by punishing them when they don't comply. They have to earn trust, and we always have to keep verifying.
I agree that this is not a move I am happy to see. I hope I am proven wrong. I have been struggling with my love of Twilio. For years they have been one of my favorite tech companies, but I have been really struggling with them and their products lately. It feels like they have lost their core mission.

It was an entertaining story that could be followed minute-by-minute.

It was funny that a single ship could get stuck with such a huge impact on the global shipping industry, so people were tuned in. And you could follow day by day with the plans and attempts made to dig out the ship. Great, simple fodder for the 24-hour news cycle, and memes probably made people more engaged with the story.

With the Houthis it's a big, complex geopolitical mess, and all the oxygen in the room is being taken up by the war in Gaza. No big countermoves have been made so all there is to be done is report on the strikes when they happen, the threats made by various powers, and speculate if the US is going to intervene in some significant way.

The Ever Given was an acute issue, and acute issues are attention grabbing. The attacks in the Red Sea are a progression of a war that the average person in the west doesn't really understand that's been going on for 9 years.
If this keeps escalating, the US might get more involved

> Scientific evidence needs to be repeatable

This isn't even true. Suppose a supernova happens and you gather a bunch of data. That's not really repeatable.

Same goes for lots of things in evobio. Clinical reports of one-off events, etc.
I don't doubt that the banal question in question, is in the original paper. My point was how banal the question was, and how easily answered it is, not where it was.

Many inventions in humanity were "simple modifications" of other things. Why didn't we invent them sooner? The answer is in the post you replied to: because it's totally normal for "obvious" inventions to not be invented for a long time, even when somebody thinks, after the fact, that it's a "simple modification". Indeed, what percentage of humanity is currently searching for Yet Another Eviction Algorithm, and what percentage of that percentage is looking in this direction, instead of one of the hundreds of other directions?

So yes, the question is indeed equivalent to "why didn't we invent [X] sooner", replacing X with any invention that at least 1 person out of billions in the world finds "obvious" or a "simple modification".
> > true evidence needs to be verifiable

> Scientific evidence needs to be repeatable.

I think the GP comment had it right.

Consider I make some cosmological prediction based on Bob’ observational data (“stars with this spectrum mostly contain elements X and Y”). It does little good to repeat my analysis, which is entirely done on a piece of paper or in a computer program.

But Alice could say, “Well if that’s true, then this other thing would have to be true too” and go check that.

That’s the difference between “verifiable” and “repeatable”.

Sometimes “repeatable” is a sensible form of verification. Last year we spent 9 months trying to reproduce results from an important (to us) paper. Eventually we came up with a reliable process to reproduce the results of the paper — the hypothesis was correct — but it looks like the author just saw some signal a few times, and didn’t really demonstrate the principle they were trying to validate. We couldn’t use the same process described in the paper.

Since we can now get the result whenever we want we consider the theory valid.

I don't have one any more, but mine did that; I never found it an issue - unless you're cooking with copper (solid, not the pointless/aesthetically clad stuff) or really thin aluminium I can't see that it's going to appreciably lose heat between cycles. Maybe mine just had much shorter periods than those that people complain about, I don't know.
I mainly use Chicken Scheme for these projects. It is small, lean, yet has everything I need. On the GUI front things are a bit dire though, but I'm hoping to soon finish some bindings to QML.

Tolkien essentially said this in "On Translating Beowulf". That it is essentially impossible to capture the artistry and effect of poetry by translating it, not only because of the flow and meter but also the specific choice of vocabulary.
