I'd argue strongly against your premise: people specifically do want to note their established vendor relationships (subscription services, doctors' offices, schools, government services, utilities) if only so that they can distinguish legitimate from illegitimate contact attempts, but also to manage different groups of known contacts differently.

This presumes a few advances, such as reliable caller-ID systems (this is presently not the case for North Amercian dialing systems). Friends who are innundated with robocalls noted that they'd received a call spoofing an entity with whom they do have a relationship, however it was clear from the call characteristics that it was not a legitimate call --- among other factors, the caller identified themselves as being from a different entity, which is a pretty low bar.

The problem of mega-services (financial, comms, federal government, etc.) being subject to spoofing simply because so many people have interactions / relationships with them is an extant problem. But odds are pretty good that your local water / sewer / trash / gas / electric service will be less universal, and knowing that they're calling when they do in fact call is useful.

It seems you're associating a contacts list with a friends list. That's not the case. Your contacts are, well, your contacts, and different contacts have different roles. Among other factors, you might set, say, different contact rules, priorities, and ringtones for, say, immediate family, work, casual social contacts, and business entities. The latter would generally not be permitted to call outside regular business hours, and you might specifically restrict them around mealtimes or other inconvenient times of day (redirecting to voicemail or another messaging service, say).
> If you want to keep your phone’s battery health in the best possible condition it possibly could be in, you must use the Google charger and cable and keep them all plugged in around the clock.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the best state of charge for long term storage (not use) is around 60%.

While modern Apple devices (and probably Pixels too?) cap their charge at 80% if permanently plugged in, a. this indicates that 80% is better than 100%; and b. this partially matches with what I've heard of users with permanently plugged in devices/iPads in meeting rooms ending up with swollen batteries. Heck, my Framework has an option in the bios to limit max charge, and recommends that to be used if kept plugged in very often.

There is the counter-fact that if your system doesn't support a lower state of max charge, you may need to unplug the device and use it, ideally draining it from 80%-40% and back (as per Apple).

However, I rarely find swollen batteries in phones used in everyday life but have heard about it in the cases of permanently plugged devices. I think I'd rather just use the charge cycles of the device.

> Popular advice going around has been to slow charge with an older and slower charger rated for less current, to reduce the heat on the battery.

> If the battery’s getting too hot or the battery’s own conditions aren’t ideal for fast charging, the phone will slow down to preserve the health of the battery.

I'm sorry but this doesn't make too much sense. Heat is generally acknowledged as bad for batteries. Saying "the system will throttle charging if it gets too warm" doesn't mean it's necessarily good to hit that throttle temp in the first place. If 25 degrees is good, 30 degrees is not bad and 40 degrees is bad, it's great that it's not going to hit 40, but if I can restrict it to 25 that's even better.

Additionally, anecdotally the possible cause of "wireless chargers degrade batteries" is due to thermal degradation (again, what I saw probably on reddit). I have a 5w ikea wireless charger. It takes time to charge my Pixel 5, but my phone doesn't get too hot.

I'll be very happy to hear from the more experienced members of their views.
> this article doesn't explicitly justify is whether the ten-byte zlib string is truly the shortest possible

I know the DEFLATE standard intimately and implemented a decoder and encoder (open source on my website/GitHub).

We know that the smallest image requires 2 bytes - 1 for the row filter and 1 for the pixel(s). For simplicitly, we'll assume the data is (hex) 00 00.

A DEFLATE compressed stream must have at least one block. There are three choices for each block's type - uncompressed, fixed Huffman code, and custom Huffman code. Uncompressed requires 1 byte for {type (2 bits), finality (1 bit), padding (5 bits)} and 4 bytes for the length. So that uses 5 bytes already. Using a fixed Huffman code block lets us encode those 2 bytes as 4 bytes. Using a custom Huffman code requires many, many bytes just to specify the Huffman table. Hence, the OP article's approach is justified.
No, it's not the entire reason. If a store doesn't accept customers' preferred payment methods some of them will switch to competing retailers who do.
I think this would theoretically work in the optimistic case. But it doesn't make a lot of practical sense: if the puck has the battery, you need to physically connect it to the headset anyway. Even if you used wifi for the data transfer, you're subject to any interference (retransmission of packets for a real-time OS sounds like a nightmare) and people leaving the puck on their desk and getting too far away. In a way, the cable is a feature and not a limitation.

> Vitamin D supplements don't appear to do anything to me, even though my doc prescribed it.

Vitamin D shouldn't do anything noticeable, unless you have a severe deficit. Health influencers have been trying to exaggerate the effects of Vitamin D and exaggerate how many people might be deficient for a long time. Too many people taking too high of a dose without ever even trying to test their blood levels.

> But NAC (for example) is not commonly prescribed even though many people have reported a reduction of OCD behaviour.

NAC is actually routinely used as medicine: It's used to great effect in cases of Tylenol overdose.

However, NAC is another compound for which the effects have become greatly exaggerated and the potential downsides ignored. You can find scattered reports on Reddit about NAC having life-changing properties on the first dose, it's hard to untangle that from placebo effect. It's much harder to find people who have continued taking it for a long time with great effect.

It has actually been studied multiple times over for OCD, but the studies haven't been great quality and haven't revealed the same miraculous effects reported by health influencers: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4423164/

> L Tyrosine can be almost as effective as ADHD medication for some, yet even though it is well known in nootropic circles the doctor will rather prescribe a medical stimulant.

This is just false. L-Tyrosine on an empty stomach can have a minor modulating effect on dopamine, but the effect is nowhere near as potent as stimulant medication, fades quickly, is prone to rapid tolerance, and can't be repeated unless the person has an empty stomach (~2 hours since last meal).

If you don't believe me, look up the L-Tyrosine content of some common meat and dairy products. You can get nearly 1 gram of L-Tyrosine from a glass of milk or 2 grams from a chicken breast.

This is another one where people miss the fine print about empty stomach, take 1000mg (2 pills, commonly) with a meal, and then report glowing experiences only because they've been primed to expect them. Once you explain that they've been consuming grams of L-Tyrosine every day for their entire lives, the placebo effect starts to make sense.

Taking it on an empty stomach can produce certain effects, but they're minimal.

> current prescriptions are years to decades behind current medical research. (I can expand more if you'd like.)

Given the examples you provided, I think you're overestimating your own knowledge of supplements. You're also underestimating the effects of prescription medication if you think L-Tyrosine is on the same level as Schedule II prescription stimulants.

It is just unavoidably creepy, and yet it was excitably launched with a video that was the most dystopian, unsettling portrayal of the target consumer's life.

It so profoundly undermines what Apple is; no other Apple product has ever been remotely "hell is other people", especially not "hell is other people who are in the room with you".

I think there's a lot more than just the airpods comparison that i've seen elsewhere, too. Because the people with the Apple eyes are using fake eyes; it is not filtered attention, it is actual misdirection.

Though I personally find having a conversation with people who won't take their airpods out is a sign that I am having a conversation with someone who devalues interacting with humans.

Perhaps we could learn the lesson from Google's Glass that people didn't like the notion of being recorded without knowing it was happening.

> The main critique of Google Glass wasn’t really that they looked stupid (although, to be clear, they did). People were kicked out of bars for wearing Glass because the device represented a form of ubiquitous recording. Glass was outfitted with a camera that the user could activate at any time

Apple decided to give people an indication of whether the people using this device could see them or not, in addition to adding a big button on the top of the device you have to press to take a picture or video.
I assume there would be concerns about latency and throughput.
Yes, the PNG chunk ordering constraints ( https://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-PNG-20031110/#5ChunkOrdering ) were crafted to streamline streaming.

Having read the source code of libpng and several others, I see that as chunks come in, their data is parsed and put into a fixed-size structure that contains all the possible relevant metadata. By the time image decoding starts, all the critical information like bit depth, palette, transparency, etc. have been handled.

Likewise, the CRC-32 is at the end of the block and not at the beginning because you can save an epsilon of memory. When the checksum is at the end, all you have to do when reading is to keep a running checksum in one variable, then allocate a second variable after the block is ended to check that the actual checksum matches the declared checksum. If the checksum is at the beginning, then you first have to store that in a variable, then have a second variable to compute a running checksum.

(Actually, there's an even sneakier way to handle a postfix checksum with only one variable, where you incorporate it into the checksum calculation and then confirm that it matches some fixed reference value.)
It would add too much latency (even if it would be only a few milliseconds.)
Eh, c6a is also an AMD Rome which has worse memory bandwidth at the tails and weaker per thread performance than Cascadelake (c5). I don't understand anything about this particular benchmark, but I wouldn't compare them simply as "older vs newer".
Curcumin, the compound, seems to do a lot of little things in studies when injected into rats at high doses. You can find reports of everything from anti-inflammatory to anti-depressant like effects in mouse/rat models.

Curcumin, the substance you can buy on Amazon and take orally, seems to do very little. Not much of it gets into your blood so there isn't much comparison to the mouser/rat studies. There are formulations that try to get more into your system (piperine or various lipid encapsulations) but little real-world evidence.

From watching forums on and off for years, I can say that nobody seems impressed with it for depression or anxiety (beyond some short placebo periods). I have seen some people claim that certain formulations reduce inflammation for them, but they've come with caveats that it can also reduce things like libido at those doses.

Just to play devil's advocate: the first algae were extremely damaging to the environment by releasing toxic oxygen. Of course, that took millions of years to take effect.

So beavers could in principle also be damaging, but taking a long time to kill. (And, of course, nowadays a lot of organisms have come to depend on the once-toxic emissions of algae. Beavers might have a similar effect on the ecosystem.)

> I think it's pretty crummy to throw in a proprietary battery plug when there isn't some power profile requirement to do so

I'm not one to defend Apple, but what else would they use? USB? Folks would just use whatever cord they have lying around, and it probably wouldn't work. USB, for how incredibly amazing it is, has so many incompatible cables that aren't labeled in any way that it's almost a certainty that folks would get it wrong. And with the number of noncompliant cables and chargers out there, you'd already be reading about people frying their brand new Vision Pro devices by plugging them into the wrong thing.

At the very least, if you use a knock off Vision Pro battery cable and it fries your device, it's because the cable is manufactured in a grossly negligent way and not because the wrong combination of items were innocently chosen.

My impression of typescript is that if you do:

a = 1;

and elsewhere:

a = 2;

The ultimate value of 'a' will depend on the order in which those statements are executed, right?

A configuration language should surface that as an error and tell you where all of the conflicting references are.
The solutions I've seen adjust for head rotation on the headset (they render and transmit slightly more than the FOV), so latency only affects translation (which happens less frequently and less quickly) and actual scene updates (which are less latency sensitive than head rotation).

> The downside is one of redistributionary effect of having a flat tax. IE it negatively effects poor people more.

To affect poor people more it would have to be affecting people. I thought it was free money because it doesn't put a disincentive on productive work?

They might keep using the land in the same way, but that doesn't tell you anything about how they were using the money.

They could intend to donate it to a charity or use it for some economically productive activity and the government may or may not be able to put it to a more productive use. US legislators' track record on monetary efficiency is rather humiliating.
Have been using Sapling for a year and also used Meta's internal Mercurial fork before that - the interop with Github PRs and familiarity with branchless development is one of the huge benefits of Sapling.

Being able to just "sl clone <github_url>" and then use sapling CLI commands is nice, but also Sapling's interactive smartlog in VSCode https://sapling-scm.com/docs/addons/vscode/ makes it easy to learn commands as well while giving a UI to commit, amend, and move diffs.

I think the only thing Sapling's really missing is git-lfs support which would make repos with binary assets easier to manage.

If a platform completely ignores Linux as the first-class target for its GUI library (MAUI) -- how can we trust it with anything else it does on Linux. We must never forget that MAUI is targeting Windows, MacOS, Android, and Ios --- but not Linux. It's not like you can't do Linux -- if humble FOSS projects like Avalonia and Uno can do it -- a tech giant can sure as hell do it. But no, they specifically not covered Linux in MAUI. Is cross platform client a big deal ? ... maybe , maybe not .. but that's not the issue. The issue is discrimination and the terrible terrible message it sends to the developer.

Wireless streaming VR seems like a non-starter, just an optional bullet point for marketing material. Shorter latency is always better in VR.
That's one of the weaker study outcomes I've seen. The Vitamin D arm just baaarely reached their definition of being significant. If the numbers had differed by only a single patient they would have had to call it "not significant"

Whenever studies test multiple things in parallel and single in on one of them as significant with a p-value of 0.05, it's not really a bulletproof conclusion.

Just one of dozens of amazing passages in this book (page 48):

> "... its density was a little better than that of the other acid, and it was magnificently hypergolic with many fuels. (I used to take advantage of this property when somebody came into my lab looking for a job. At an inconspicuous signal, one of my henchmen would drop the finger of an old rubber glove into a flask containing about 100 cc of mixed acid -and then stand back. The rubber would swell and squirm for a moment, and then a magnificent rocket-like jet of flame would rise from the flask, with appropriate hissing noises. I could usually tell from the candidate's demeanor whether he had the sort of nervous system desirable in a propellant chemist.)"

Not surprised about the proprietary battery plug. This isn't a charger, it's the devices only power supply. If the power sags or glitches, you get a crash, and the other side has to deal with a lot of variation in the current pulled. Letting people use random power banks wouldn't work well, and constraining yourself to USB-C for what is essentially the connection between your device's battery and the device itself sounds painful.
I think the distribution requirement is specifically for private foundations, not public charities.
Grace and Insurance really don't belong in the same sentence. They are stingy enough to deal with as is, even when you have photo evidence of no fault in the crash.
