From that article it seems like it's the kid who assumed it was the WiFi that caused the leak.

'But I was using the data on my phone and they were using the Wi-Fi at Gatwick and so the message was picked up by the security people.'

As far as I know, it doesn't seem like anyone in the UK has said where they got the info from. And the Daily Mail may just be assuming the kid's right and is jumping to a conclusion.

> Doesn't mention whether he has insurance. surely you would buy insurance after your first car was stolen

With the observation that everyone in Canada is required to have insurance. But the kind of insurance that is required wouldn’t help in this case.
I think it's more like: when we're young, our unique personalities sieze onto particular strategies that work for us. Later, two things happen: we thoroughly master our default strategy and get bored with using it for everything (like you said, change is enjoyable); and, simultaneously with mastering and getting bored with our default strategy, we also begin to learn that there are nuances to life, so we can't just stick to one approach for everything.
I actually travel a lot (compared to the typical person, maybe not compared the typical internet commenter that wants to one up me), and I kind of agree with you.

Going and just seeing things is a fairly shallow experience imo and leads to dull trips. Theres a lot more nuance to this then Im prepared to write about. I do think sightseeing is one of the shallowest things you can do and travel for, I think you are right for questioning it. Alot of people want to travel, but don't know how to do it and sight seeing is an easy default. I wouldn't be surprised that instagram and related are making this worse, where people just travel to see things because they don't know what else to do.

I went and read a bunch of Paul Theroux's books and it changed my idea of what travel should be. Travel and the destination you pick should have a purpose that's important to you.

Personally I find the beautiful nature to be a nice bonus to where ever im going. I enjoy a good hike, new scenery is cool to be in to some extent. If you plan a trip to lisbon, everyone guide will tell you to go to sintra, look at the castles. I found that to be one of the most underwhelming places Ive been, from the lines, to paying for everything, and the only thing to do was look at things I had no connection to, while being bussed around or walking. I got a few cool photos, but im not a photographer and no one cares about my photos.
I just wanted to play my MP3s without dealing the crapton of bugs and UI disasters that is Apple Music.

I tried using Home Sharing yesterday. The iPhone app simply showed a spinner that eventually disappeared. No error messages, nothing. I’m logged in on the same account, same wifi, etc. I tried logging out and in, force quitting, turning off and on home sharing, nothing worked. Annoyed me so much I even lost the joy of listening to the song.

I don’t give a shit about spatial audio. I want basic functionality we had 20 years ago.
Hi, why the switch? Purely cost? Or admin overhead?
This is great. I am using WASM right now for a music training product I plan on launching in the next few months, and it has been so much nicer than doing it all in JS. I have an audio scheduler running in C++ in an audioworklet, an engine running in s7 Scheme (which runs in compiled C in WASM), and user interface code in JavaScript. The plumbing was a bit involved to figure out the architecture, but now that that's done, I wouldn't go back to plain JS or TypeScript for anything. I love that I can reuse my engine and scheduler/synthesis code from desktop contexts.

Not sure about Canada but in the US we call it “comprehensive” or “full coverage”.
not fakes (through I don't trust Musk to be non-deceptive)

but there is a huge difference between "active user who wants to use it" and "active user who wants to not use it but due to network effects can't"

It's kinda a similar situation like with Facebook (and just Facebook, not Meta in general).

- they have some loyal groups (e.g. Facebook people broadly around 60 and older)

- they lost any interest (and much goodwill) from many other groups

- but due the various network effects many of the "lost interest" people still have it and might still count as active users depending on definition of active (but in practice they are passive not active users, unwilling to spend money on it, unwilling to give it any information about themself and not necessary the best ad targets either as there is a risk of you company being associated with "that annoying thing they would which to just discard".

Just with the difference that with Twitter most of the "passive" users are still active because they haven't found an alternative to be active on YET
I am responding to the question as to why NASA is private about failures like this.

Certainly failing is fine and learning from failures is useful.

But you cannot honestly claim that the public perception of NASA agrees with what you wrote.

The reason NASA hides failures is because the public demands perfection.

Anything less results in cut funding. (Failures leading to less money is a great way to succeed...)
Many small businesses do it by using family members as labor (or themselves) and not paying minimum wage.
Ah yes, the repair score. Where something practically disposable like a Samsung foldable device (where you just can't do anything without destroying the main screen) scores a whopping 8/10 ( https://cdn.woopic.com/c10f167280f2414abb346a5347e1ecd9/prod... ) , while something like the Fairphone scores just one extra point at 9/10.

For comparison, iFixit gave the Fold a 2/10, and the Fairphone a 10/10.
No. It’s boring. The appreciation of the external was never something that was cultivated in me.

It’s all just stuff. It’s all static. People are dynamic. They’re stimulating. They’re people.

Perhaps it’s due to upbringing. Depending on adolescent socioeconomic status, people may be more inclined to get their emotional “fill” from certain things.
The author's subjective take is objectively pure subjection of his own experience.

And though I say this not as judgement, rather as speculation - the experiences read from a person who hasn't known life prior to the inception of the internet, and all that came forth from it, after it.
Maybe instead of speculating based on Apple's marketing and based on articles from other people speculating, we can make some guesses from actual data.

Here's an obviously-incomplete list of source files part of the R1 firmware, probably referenced from asserts or other logging messages, thus present as strings in the firmware binary:

It seems it's handling data from cameras (CImageSensor*), LIDAR (SensorMgr/Tof = time of flight?), and display (DCP). I also see mentions of accel, gyro, bmi284 (IMU from Bosch?).
There was a pretty good CCC talk on this a couple years ago:

The reason it exists is because of the products they haven't released yet. Spatial audio is part of the AR experience they want to release in the future, and it just so happens they can release it before that is ubiquitous so now they have a testbed for it with existing devices.
This was expected and foreseen.

Devices and appliances are manufactured with huge economies of scale and are, all in all, cheap.

Spare parts are going to cost and, especially, professional labour is going to cost. It's never going to make much financial sense to repair cheap-ish devices.
I actually started trying to port it to Android after your first post. Only managed to get a compass prototype working though... might revisit the project soon!

I hope you don't use a Linux distribution then. 99% of packages of 99% of distros are built by the distro (or a parent, e.g., using Debian repos) and not the upstream source. In fact, getting builds directly from upstream is the exception rather than the norm, usually used for more niche software that isn't shipped by distros (although it is getting more prevalent with Flatpak).
I haven't seen this key/buzzword mentioned yet, so I think part of it is the fact that we're now working on complex systems. This was already true (a social network is a complex system), but now we have the impenetrability of a complex system within the scope of a single process. It's hard to figure out generalizable principles about this kind of thing!
Most astronomers really don’t care. It’s a very specific kinds of observation that get impacted quite a bit, while
many others have minimal to zero impact.

Starlink could directly fund some projects and completely offset their impact, but that doesn’t seem likely at this point.
The picture doesn’t change markedly. Not everyone in a metro area has access to a city subway system.

Most Americans can’t walk from their door to train station to the airport. However you want to count it, it’s unlikely to be even a double digit percent.
Google translate gives "ludus mortuus est". 'Ludum' (vs 'ludus') possibly comes from the game jam 'ludum dare' (where 'ludum' is okay because it's meant to be in the accusative - the object of 'dare' - 'to give/make').
That's definitely the case for omnidirectional ground stations, i.e. most cell phones (beamforming/MIMO as used in 4G/5G and Wi-Fi nonwithstanding, since that mostly leverages heavy multipath propagation which is presumably not a thing for line-of-sight communication to satellites).

The only reason there is even a point for Starlink to have more than one satellite covering the same geographic footprint simultaneously is that both the satellites and the ground stations use phased array antennas and are largely stationary (or at least are moving somewhat predictably/rotating in space fairly slowly), which allows reusing the same frequency for customers in the same ground cell at the same time from two different satellites.

Highly mobile ground stations will likely continue to be served by a single satellite per ground location for the foreseeable future, which makes spectrum the scarce resource.

> which certainly makes a lot more sense than just leaving it in a car.

Why? I am a Waymo customer. I left it in the car, and so the service has a policy to collect the item and return it to their customer. Some random store where I don't go, all bets are off.

I was able to contact Waymo and discuss the lost item and they were able to recover it because it was left in the car. That is a success. I was also able to retrieve the item from their Depot because their Lost & Found process works. That is a 100% success.

It was unclear in my original comment, but the passenger's offer to leave it at a pharmacy was in a text message to my emergency contact, who didn't reply. I heard about that bit after-the-fact. All I told the passenger, repeatedly, was, "please leave it where you found it in the car" because Waymo would be able to work that out with me, a customer.

A few months ago, I lost the front door key to my apartment. The leasing office was closing in 5 minutes. I needed a loaner key, and I had no ID. I offered to leave my phone (one in the same) as collateral. They were extremely reluctant to be holding on to that instead of an ID. They said they'd make a one-time exception.

Phones are not really things that strangers like to hold on to, in case you've not noticed. If you are admitted to a hospital or jail or something, they get really jumpy about putting your electronics in a locker. Partly having to do with the likelihood of fire or explosion, the volume and value of personal data on those things, and their trackability. The best course of action for a lost device is you leave it where you found it, because that's the owner's best hope of retracing their path and finding it again.
QANTAS have had 14 fatal accidents over their history.

The most common claim is that they have never suffered a jet hull loss, which is technically correct as they paid over $100 million to repair 747 VH-OJH instead of letting it be written-off:

Really exciting. The games I've played that had RT added despite their age were pretty awesome to visit again.

I'm particularly hopeful for Deus Ex.
Out of curiosity, is Postgres usually able to use a b-tree index's representation of the columnar data for its (set of) columns to calculate a derived value for those column(s), then scan through that in-memory derived data? Certainly not as fast as the index lookup itself, but avoids needing to have the entire table in memory, I would hope?

The documentation under https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/indexes-types.html implies that it can be used to access the sorted values - but does that feed through the query planner?
yeah, this logic makes sense to me

i just have no idea how you begin to create a global system of "generic parts" beyond screws and bolts in a world of globalized supply chains, with specialized production in every country.

but i also have no experience in manufacturing or repair. i'd love to hear if there are any successful case studies on the subject
If history is an indicator ( see: automation), it will make our jobs more efficient.

The biggest advances have already been made, ChatGPT wise.

I'm actually excited that it will broaden to robots ( at home) and home domotics. And improve the virtual assistants ( which are already virtual).

For the rest, I don't know yet what impact it will actually have.

I think call centers could be greatly reduced ( trained on documentation and active tickets). But not many jobs in the west depend on that...

> It has practically infinite space & resources.

Not true for most of Canada on the Shield, the vast majority of land is close to barren rock, very hard rock at that, and way too cold & remote for economically viable anything (without huge subsidies from Ottawa), any mining/farming/etc. only happens in unusual pockets, like Sudbury where a big asteroid hit relatively recently in the geological past.

Why do I think you've never had a job involving writing code?

Python, Java, C++: it's all code, not "high-level instructions indicating what we want them to do"

"feed their instructions into interpreters instead" : that's what "writing code" has meant, since the invention of COBOL and FORTRAN. If that weren't true, then liberal arts majors wouldn't need a code school to learn to do it.
It's always the same answer: managers who pay attention to the details. People familiar with your work should be able to tell if you're gaming the system or not.
My saddest observation is that I don't even have control over what comes out next, especially when talking/typing fast. "I" observe myself speaking, more than anything. Sometimes, as I'm talking, I think "that's a good point!" because I didn't consciously make it, it was just part of this "magic stream" that I'm listening to as much as the person I'm speaking to is listening. I also find letting that stream flow is when I'm at my sharpest. Same with problem solving. I point my intention at something and answers come out, through "intuition" and "creativity" which are almost entirely autonomous/subconscious.

This makes me fear getting old, where this magic machine probably fades, almost certainly leaving me pointing my intention, and starting up sentences, without much happening after. I'm afraid I'll be left with my conscious self, which I don't find as entertaining.
I think the best way to find repairable and long lived products is to buy commercial grade when possible or look at what gets used by contractors. The types of things that get used in commercial settings or pro use tend to be a lot more repairable and durable than the consumer equivalents. Definitely more expensive though.

Pulumi is fantastic, just wish it was more popular honestly. That and how you have to handle async stuff with it feels kinda weird in the era of async await in JS.

But it's wild, our tech stack at the company I'm working at is Typescript all the way down. Frontend, Backend, Infrastructure is all typescript. Our team loves it. We also use serverless. Given the perspective in this thread I'm expecting downvotes but we love that too.

I think serverless is just like everything else. If you implement it poorly it can be slow, expensive, and pointless. If you implement it well it can be cheap, fast, and keep your team lean.
This is not the effect that "Spatial Audio" in Apple Music is referring to.
It is indeed super weird... every time for me. Not bad just like "wait... is this playing in my ears?". This happens with iPad and AppleTV.

What the article is referring to is more like music recorded in Atmos (not actually Atmos??, but same idea).
You can hear where instruments or vocals, or whatever are coming from in relation to each other (or technically whatever position they want you to hear them at).
There’s definitely a science to it. To complicate matters, the way you explore those connections, take backups, identify owners, and perform restores is different across pretty much every cloud service.

For many products there seems to be a thriving ecosystem on ebay of people taking genuine manufacturer parts, subdividing them, and reselling the smaller individual parts for consumers to use.
The purpose of repair is to reduce waste and guarantee a consumer's right to do with his things as he pleases.

Saving some money by repairing is certainly nice, but that is a side effect and not the primary objective.

>The internet and cell phones obviate so much of what was once done at the office, which is, after all, largely an artifact of the 20th century thanks to the rise of mass transportation, the ability to build tall office buildings and the previous immovability of the “work” telephone, which was stuck to a desk. All this, thankfully, is going the way of the dodo.

This seems to me to have been forgotten as technology evolved over the last 2-3 decades. There was a time when you HAD to be in the office, because that was where your desk phone was, your desktop PC (including local software) was, the physical access point for your corporate network/applications was, etc. With laptops, smartphones, the internet, VPNs, SaaS applications, that hasn't been the case for a long time, Covid was just the CATALYST that forced people and companies to actually utilize the capabilities they already had.

Yes, but this should be only possible by way of commands that make it abundantly clear what you are doing, e.g. `git delete <whatever>` with extra confirmation “Do you really want to permanently and irrevocably delete <whatever> in the master repository?”, or a more obvious “recycle bin” that presents deleted branches/commits in familiar ways and with explicit expiration dates. But the Git architecture doesn’t lend itself to that level of user-friendlyness.
Overhiring should be punished. But it isn't. A shitty CEO can tell his company to overhire and then when that becomes a problem, he can tell his company to do layoffs and never pay a price.
It can also just be for preservation purposes. A lot of old game consoles are dying, and so are CRT televisions (which just aren't manufactured anymore). Enthusiasts would want both of these to be repairable so that old games can be played forever (but AFAIK, only CRTs are actually repairable). The supply of both of them are shrinking, so only repairability would help their longevity.

I guess that also ties into how long the guarantee of repairability should last. Nothing lasts forever; at some point, the parts to make the technology may stop being manufactured and sold.
Dyson is just the worst and probably what the author of this article had in mind. A replacement AC adapter for the battery charger is already 1/4 of the price of the entire vacuum cleaner set (which includes vacuum, battery, charger, and AC adapter).

I agree it seems to be dying monetary wise, the way Musk bought it put too much of a profit burden on a company which already had issues with profitability.

It also seem to be dying user wise outside of some communities, but I think it's will be like the death of Facebook. Slow, and due to network effects never complete. Through it has much less network effects then Facebook had (no family main communication, old now distant friend main communication etc.).
