In these cases it's always good to think of extremes. For example for the Monte Hall problem imagine a million doors and all but one of them are opened, all empty, in any case. Then it's clear you originally had one in a million chances of picking the right door.

Two ways to think about this (same conclusion):

- Without loss of generality, take the case of just one red ball, rest are green. If you pick the one red ball on your first draw the chances are now 100% that the next ball is green (since there aren't any red ones left) whereas before you had picked the red one you had just a 99% chance of picking a green one.

Hence after picking a red ball you are slightly more likely to pick a green ball next.

- Another way to think of it, again without loss of generality consider if there was just one green ball and 99 red, then if you pick every one of them in some order there are a hundred different positions the green one could end up as. If you consider the one where it's last, after you have picked all but one (and they were all red), now you have a 100% chance to pick the green ball, even though you started out with 1% chance on the first draw: without loss of generality in the case of drawing until you reach the green ball when it is 1 in 100, each red ball you have drawn so far increases the chance of drawing the green ball next, up to a 100% chance when it is the only one left. Visualizing the chance going from 1% to 100% in this case as you draw more red balls should drive home the point that it becomes more and more likely you'll draw a green one next, in the cases that you've made it that far drawing red ones.)
Even with that FOV and the highest resolution display they could get, it still can only emulate a 15" display comfy 70cm from your eye at a whopping resolution of 940x540.

Amazon has multiple books with that title.
None of the above unless you bought them outright with cash. These are more likely to be levered transaction, which means it depends on your interest rate and term, among other things.
Maybe Google is getting us ready to a post-Search AI world? Why to use Search, you might find there something which is gonna make you political active. Use neural network instead, it will help you to obey.
And these designs are typically implemented with impediments and hazards to non-vehicular traffic. Instead of these control-freak, half-assed solutions they should adopt Dutch transit planning approaches that avoids hidden blocks of concrete in unexpected places.

FDA Devastation During the Pandemic
Loads of phones could side-load J2ME apps. I never owned a RAZR V3, but I imagine it would have supported J2ME apps as well as I ran them on even crappier phones. The first things I'd install on my dumbphones back in 2005 was Google Maps and Opera Mini. I'd grab all kinds of J2ME games off Zedge and other sites and copy them over back in the day.
Huge X reader, actually used it more since Elon took it over and even more after reading the bio. One of the best things to come out for American democracy. Very clear he is being targeted especially after the ridiculous Delaware ruling.

Can you link the PoC? I'm suprised someone hasn't built an app for this yet.
I wonder how this works exactly. RDP lets me connect to a single monitor Win 11 host and display it on my client's three monitors. Everything is super smooth including browsers (I am connecting via Ethernet). Is the host managing the three screens or does the RDC do it on the client's side?

> don't let your attorney make your business decisions, one of their jobs is to point out risks, one of your jobs (owner/ceo/leadership) is to figure out how to mitigate risk but that is not the same thing as avoiding all risks

Man I wish the leadership team at the last startup I did understood that. They were too chickenshit to do anything their lawyer cautioned them against, and as a result we took no risks and got nowhere.
Gold and silver also had celebi hidden in the game files and it could be hacked in with a gameshark!

TBH, I don't consider the glitch list that you shared to be a list of flaws. I played the original pokemon games a lot, and heard all of the rumours about the game. Very rarely if ever did I encounter a glitch without seeking it out. Honestly the existence of missingno and the rare candy duplication glitch were enhancements to the experience when I had already played the game exhaustively.

> This actually makes it a little fun to go back and play those games because some mons are just broken

I agree! I really don't consider lack of competitive balance to be a significant flaw for the first games, since the game design was based around the single player experience. If all of the pokemon were balanced, I would consider it a detriment to the game. Half of the joy of finding new pokemon and discovering evolutions was to find these imbalances and use them to destroy the elite four, or show off to your friends.

As far as flaws, I was mostly asking from a game design or implementation perspective, because hard to replicate glitches that reveal hidden secrets and 150 monsters to uncover with some being ultra powerful was literally exactly what I wanted as a kid. It's also good game design, even if not 100% of it was intentional.

I do think iPhone is often made more mythical than it was. Sure it was good and we could finally use our sausage fingers to navigate it. But I recently heard someone say on Radio that iPhone was the first phone with a touch screen. Meanwhile me an the guys (yeah all guys) we’re rocking Sony Ericsson P800’s and the like in 2003,4,5.

I had an HTC touch when iPhone came out and I was most envious that you could do two finger zooming in Google maps instead of tapping zoom buttons.
I mean, if you're transporting literally tons of cocaine at a go in disposable microsubs, you think the best thing is to attract a lot of attention by (a) stealing a rich, and therefore politically connected, person's submarine that (b) is trivially tracked by the USN?

I mean, size isn't stealthy. And it's not necessary for cocaine. It's the same reason that they smuggled coke on private planes instead of hihacking 747s.
Because I, along other shareholders, voted for the plan, which you can find here:

The reasons for voiding it are absurd. He did the almost impossible and met all milestones of the plan and brought TREMENDOUS value to all the shareholders.

I guess for the back-end it's a little more difficult to verify? But i'm guessing Signal's security architecture is such that with a verifiable client build it would be tricky to mess with the server?
Illusory? Perhaps.

Certainly 'self-sufficient' is inaccurate, given the reliance on external inputs.

If other nation states are also not self-sufficient for fissionable materials, and/or other fuel types, then I would also not call them self-sufficient on power generation.

Sure, there are degrees of reliance on providers of fuel types, but no need to muddy the waters about self-sufficiency. (f.e. Australia could be self-sufficient on solar, wind, coal, fission, I suspect - at least in terms of raw materials.)

A minor flaw: it is said in a way like it is 2 choices out of 4, which gives you 6 combinations. But it is more like two choices each for 2 independent “axes”, which gives you 4 combinations, exhausted in the elaboration that follows.

My favorite in this class was the Phoenix 1000 from US Submarines[1]. As I recall (and someone has worked VERY HARD to scrub nearly every bit of information about US Submarines from the web) they has a really nasty bankruptcy with some very wealthy people upset that they had put down big deposits and ended up with zilch.

Have we come to expect anything less from Google? Ugh.
i think so. I'm not a taoism expert by any means. From what I gathered, it's something like 'do not try to resolve things that will resolve itself'. An example is parents who speak to their baby a lot so that the baby might learn to speak. It's just not needed. If anything, baby talk might be harmful. And tiring. It leaves entitlement in the parent and foster bitterness later down the line. In reality a baby will learn to speak by themselves quite naturally. The parent can forget that and have a semblance of a life instead.

Also I really love the character of Mr.Shaibel in 'queen's gambit', who i thought is the embodiment of the taoist ideal in a person. Again, I'm not really learned in taoism.
Again, that’s not how academia actually works. Professors are hired based on research output and potential, not teaching ability.

That usage of “hate” needs to die.
The Chrome intent integration engine coupled with recent 'Bard' conversations as well as whatever Google 'Home and Meet' hardware has overheard you saying removes the need for any user interaction. All that's left is to tell you what to buy and where.
Pretty good and well balanced review that shows the limitations of the technology. Much more balanced than the initial hands-ons after apple's presentation where people like John Gruber were saying it's the best thing ever. I already doubted they were fair.

Only thing that annoys me about this review that he has to mention constantly that it messes up his precious hair :/
> My guess is not, because to me it is obvious you don't understand how this works and are just imagining things.

That's great! I'm glad to hear that your 8 years of music practice has given you some firm opinions, and I'm sure you'll continue learning over time. Speaking as a player and composer of 25 years, former music teacher, and maker of the instruments I play - for whatever such things are worth - I believe my ideas have some merit. But only time and technology will show whether-or-not such AR (and AI) musician overlaps eventuate.
That's usually the fallback method in case they can't find some way to do an electronic transfer.
You're right about the email client. I had IMAP email clients on mobile for a while before the iPhone supported it. Email on the OG iPhone was terrible.
Looks great in NetNewsWire. I can’t read Gruber’s site in a browser without reader mode. Too tiny, too little contrast.
Iphone was made from pretty much what was available to other manufacturers plus some secret software sauce, and was priced like a Blackberry of the time. There was immediately plenty of use cases that competitors kinda did, but not so well.

These googles are as bespoke as it gets, are priced at 7x the competition and more than a flagship laptop, steer clear of the most popular existing use case, which is games, and offers... what exactly again?

That's quite some difference.
https://www.nostrapps.com/ has quite a few non-twitter clones to offer.
Your personal one is the correct one from my perspective (as someone that knows a lot of math and is familiar with statistical mechanics as math and not physics). The ODEs that we get from classical mechanics are typically reversible: we can write down an ODE that does the same thing but backwards.

You cannot do that for the PDEs that arise in statistical mechanics and the result is the second law. These PDEs arise from approximating many copies of deterministic systems as continuous distributions of states. Entropy is not a concept that makes sense when discussing single trajectories of systems — only the macroscopic view of many copies of that system evolving according to the same dynamics.

> Yeah. A 1980s era Microsoft DOS computer capability running on a $1.75 microcontroller is exactly what I want, on one hand. I'm not greedy or needy, after all. A microcontroller with WiFi connectivity built in (or easily attached, imported, or included) for building a networked system of these smart little computers and hardware part controllers too. Like, a washing machine that sends a "done washing" message to a headless server sitting in the home.

OK, that's an ESP8266, then. Here's a module for $2.11.

They're far more capable than you're describing-- capable of emulating an PC-XT at close to 80% speed. For throwaway stuff you could use micropython.

They're cheaper than thinking about how to use random micros you find.
I kind of find that hard to believe but maybe there were government/enterprise purchases boosting it or something? As far as I'm concerned Blackberry died with the Blackberry Storm 2 in 2009, which was a huge piece of junk.

I used to go back and forth to Shenzhen all the time trading refurbs and by 2010 I straight up would not buy anything other than Android devices because 1) iPhone was actually more expensive in mainland China due to it being a grey market item back then and 2) demand for everything else fell off a cliff.
So this is why I couldn't find it...bummer. Which means another downgrade.
I take that to mean you haven't tried any recent (zen3/4 U series) AMD laptops then, or for that matter the M1/2/3's. I've heard this from a number of people who are comparing the x13s or new mac's with their 14nm intel that has a discrete nvidia gpu (which is eating another 10W+) from 2017/8 or so.

I have a pile of laptops including the x13s, and that part burns a good ~30W for a couple minutes, while running ~30% (or worse) slower, then thermally throttles and drops another ~30% in performance.

For light browsing it manages to stay under 5W and gets 10h from its 50Wh battery. This is also doable on just about any AMD or Mac laptop. The AMD machine I'm typing this on tells me I have more than 12 hours remaining and i'm sitting at 81% battery (67Wh). And this machine is a good 3x faster compiling code, or running simple benchmarks like speedometer when its plugged in or allowed to burn 35W. Except it also has a fan that turns on when its under heavy load to keep it from thermally throttling.

Yes the x13s is cute, it is a thin/light laptop and is probably the first windows on arm machine that isn't completely unusable. But, its going to take another leap or two to catch-up with current top of the line machines.

Everyone loves geekbench so, here is an obviously unthrottled x13s vs a similarly rated 28W AMD 7840U.

https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/21596449
https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/amd-ryzen-7-7840u

That Amd is 2x the single threaded perf, and 50% faster multithreaded, and anything graphics related is going to look even worse.
this isn't true of all gc languages some (C# and Julia for example) are pretty good at preventing lots of allocations through optimizations.
>In a practical sense, the only way for people to get better lives is to work better jobs. If people get more money, they just fight to change the distribution of presently available stuff. To cause sustainable improvements, people need to have the skills, knowhow and opportunity to produce more/higher quality stuff.

Now do inflation and people who already have skills and are forced to work multiple jobs to afford to live somewhere to do the first job, i.e., NHS workers in the UK. And yet we have council housing here, but the waiting lists are long, and we have plenty of unoccupied and unused properties under private ownership. These are complex issues and it starts with property being treated as an "investment" or a revenue stream rather than what it is—shelter.
> Sometimes you just have bad managers, or bad team members, and no buzzword methodology is going to dig you out of that hole.

Very true, but the common theme among bad managers at shit companies is that they always try and fix that problem by buying a new methodology with a buzzword attached to it, reward themselves for having done so, and never reflect on whether anyone's done anything effectively by the time they get a new one.

The lone-developer and the self-directed team mythos' share the common element that they've figured out how to tangle with any real logistical problems they actually have by analyzing them, reflecting on how to do better, and using communication, rather than imagining what problems they have, externalizing the solution with an off-the-shelf template, and identifying how much praise they'll get from anyone but those doing the work regardless of whether the non-plan works.
You are entitled to sue to get a court to state that you have the legal right to do something. Probably overkill, but I bet it would get a surprised pikachu face from the C&D sending company.

Now whether it's a good idea to sue without an attorney, I have no idea. I genuinely don't.
I hear you, and you make a logical point, if better jobs were out there.

Ultimately though there are shortages of lots of things, housing and jobs being but two of them.

In an ideal world, an increase in rent would increase the value of housing, which would make building housing more valuable and thus more houses eould be built, thus reducing the cost of housing, thus balancing the equation. Land ownership, zoning, and the cost of commuting to low-paid jobs works against that.

One could argue that the homeless of say california move to the unoccupied housing of say detroit, but that presumes there are jobs in detriot.

In reality of course there are sufficient resources (food, housing etc) for everyone. But distributing that for the common good, rather than individual gain is a sticky problem.
I think it's pretty great already tbh. I use it almost daily.
Not really. I had a cheaper unlimited AT&T unlimited data plan than the original iPhone data plan, and that included 3G data!

The trick was to just buy the smartphone outside of the plan. Then you get unlimited data at half the price. I'd pull gigs of data a month on my "dumbphone".
Now do Microsoft and the HoloLens.
Makes sense, CPUs and memory sizes aren’t growing that fast anymore. But I’m sure they are spending a ton on TPUs/GPUs, the article is clear on very high capex
> Both load balancers and backend servers can juggle millions of concurrent connections nowadays.

Maybe with SO_REUSEPORT, but not in general.

A TCP connection is identified by a 5-tuple that requires a unique port for both the client and server. TCP represents ports as uint16s, which means the max number of possible ports per address is 65536.

tl;dr: 1 server IP address = no more than 64k incoming connections

It’s a first gen product. It’ll get better with software updates and better hardware. The original iPhone was a barely useful soap shaped thing that didn’t even have copy and paste. Of course this thing is supposed to be the future of computing but it is still very much a first iteration. It’ll get better.
Just the crew to operate the oxygen system 24/7 with burning oxygen candles and co2 scrubbers is going to be intense.
Despite thinking that those were generally good ideas, I'd still call that a camp.

Neither of these statements is remotely true.
I used to use it on some sites that would show different results to Google vs people. LinkedIn cache was disabled years ago, I guess it was just time until the rest would be.
on a similar topic, does anyone know how to view LinkedIn without an account?
To a German, where checks never were a thing, because we moved to wire transfer at the beginning of the 20th century, this is amazing.

I don’t think it was Itanium that killed SPARC. On workstations it was improved reliability of Windows and to some extent Linux. Sun tried to combat this with lower cost systems like the Ultra 5, Ultra 10, and Blade 100. Sun fanatics dismissed these systems because they were to PC like. PC fanatics saw them as overpriced and unfamiliar. With academic pricing, a $3500 Ultra 10 with 512 MB of RAM and an awful IDE drive ran circles around a $10000 HP C180 with 128 MB of RAM and an OK SCSI drive because the Sun never had to hit swap. I think Dell and HP x86 PC workstations with similar specs as the Ultra 10 were a bit cheaper.

On servers, 32 bit x86 was doing wonders for small workloads. AMD64 quickly chipped away at the places where 1-4 processor SPARC would have previously been used.
Call me crazy, but I can't imagine the Taliban regime would be cool with English-speaking entities using their ccTLD for the "AF" meme.
Wow, really neat idea! Even if you're just using two monitors close to each other (a laptop and a monitor for example), I could see scenarios where it would help a ton to have fast access on one or the other.
