I keep hearing this all the time. May be I am (and a whole generation of me) an aberration, but I have no plans to switch to a car on demand. Let me be clear that I love public transport, like a metro. Something about the small confined space of a car, when dirtied and not kept meticulously clean, is a no-go for me. I take an Uber occasionally and unless the driver is a clean freak, the car ride is not comfortable for me. Occasional ride is ok, but I would not make it my normal mode of transport.

The Moon Machines episode "The Navigation Computer" focuses a bit on Charles Draper's system based on gyroscopes and accelerometers. The show includes a segment on the software-development issues that led to Tindallgrams. I never thought to look them up. Thank you.

I liked cable, except for the price. Cut it by a factor of 3 and I'd probably subscribe again.

For movies pretty much everything I wanted to watch would eventually show up. Typically a movie would first be in theaters, then become available for purchase on disc or digital, rental, and be included in one paid streaming service. Sometime later, maybe two years after it was in theaters, it should show up on some non-premium cable channel.

The only time I couldn't wait for things to show up on non-premium cable was when "Avengers: Endgame" was coming soon. I knew that one would be hard to avoid major spoilers for once it was released in theaters so decided seeing it in theaters was a must. That meant I had to get get a month of Netflix, which had the Marvel movies then, to get caught up enough for "Endgame".

I also liked cable for rewatching TV series. I'm not sure why, but when some channel is showing "The Simpsons" or "South Park" reruns on a regular schedule I like watching much more than I do when I watch an episode on an on-demand streaming service (or on DVD).

I think it has something to do with the latter being more deliberate. I picked that episode, which somehow makes it so I feel like I need to take it more seriously. When it is just "This channel shows a couple episodes every night" then it seems a lot more casual, like listening to music on the radio. It is easier to just sit back and relax and watch.
I like my Garmin, but map updates are surprisingly expensive.
I just helped a coworker get his remote vscode working on RHEL7. If you compile glibc from source and install it in some local directory, you can run patchelf —set-interpreter —set-path on ~/.vscode-server/bin/*/node and write to a special “skip requirements file”

I am a motivated software engineer and recent Caltech graduate (2022) with a B.S. in Computer Science. I have full-time experience as an ML Software Engineer at Lyft on the Price Optimization Team and internship experience at a small ML startup. I bring a strong foundation in ML and software engineering.

Currently seeking new challenges, I am open to a diverse set of roles including but not limited to software engineering, machine learning, backend, data science, and full-stack roles. My adaptability and passion for innovation make me a valuable asset to any team and I am eager to discuss any role that is a potential fit.
The 4th group is important because they didn’t compete well throughout most of Cable’s tenure. Now, YouTube, TikTok, etc eat away at people’s video diet. Video games are now fully mainstream too. Normal social media (Twitter, Reddit, Meta) take even more.

I’m in group 4. I’ll pay for streaming services to avoid ads, but never linear TV. TV is largely superior content - it’s professionally made and generally high quality. But if I get sick of jumping through hoops, I have plenty of other things to do.
There are many making money using manipulation and I certainly don't condone that. Hopefully we can push for regulations where it makes sense.

Even still there will always be obstacles in life to overcome. CBT has been helpful for many so it may be a place to start. CBT can help one understand the underlying issue and replace the vice with a healthier coping mechanism.
Not OP, but this spawned from Woz mentioning this on a video ( https://www.gettyimages.in/detail/video/at-the-first-hackers... ) in the hackers conference.

Search for that phrase. It has a rather large number of hits, in filings from multiple streaming services. Wonder where that phrase was pirated from?
And whether this indicates a degree of coordination which suggests the need for antitrust action.

Mainland China has good movies now. There's been progress since "Sky Hunter" (2017), produced by the film unit of the People's Liberation Army Air Force.
(You can watch that for free. It's heavy-handed propaganda.) If you like period costume dramas, there are many from China, because the political levels don't care about those. The writers thus have more freedom. "Princess Agents" is probably the best of that genre.

Stuff set in the present day will have clear signs of being forced to follow the party line. There are lots of cop shows. They're about as good, or bad, as American cop shows. There's a good version of "The Three Body Problem", but it's rather slow-paced, following the books closely. There's also a genre we don't see much in the US - business drama.

The US film industry has been eaten by superhero sequels. Just not much worth watching. There's a Hunger Games prequel out, if anybody cares. If you're willing to look outside the heavily promoted stuff, there's plenty to watch.
They outsource manufacturing so they have no tech there. Given Apple was the Tesla reject bin I'm sure we will see a lot of interesting things come out of this.

And yeah with AI, have a look at what companies they buy out. They won't be creating anything themselves. I'd be more interested to see if they make the mistake of relying on Lidar.

Chances are they're just trying to make something they can sell to existing car manufacturers. Like CarPlay just at a larger scale.
I’m not sure what your point is here. The adult thing to do if you’re an addict is to move as far away from your addiction as possible. That is what self discipline looks like.

Right, it's not like piracy is literally free. There are still monetary costs, software maintenance work that needs to be done, and risks involved.

In that 'golden age' of Netflix, getting a Netflix subscription was a much better choice for loads of people. But now it seems to be swinging back the other way again. It's just so frustrating, because all these content owners actually had a good-enough solution to most piracy, and they ruined it with their own greed.
Saying “Windows 10 is from 2015” is like saying “Ubuntu is from 2004”.

Those “big updates” in Win 10 that you mention even use more or less the same versioning scheme as Ubuntu using the year and part of the year to identify the release. Windows 10 “22H2” is essentially the same name scheme as Ubuntu “22.10” don’t you think.

Ubuntu 18.04 is contemporary with Windows 10 version 1803. Hmm, I wonder if that came out in March 2018. Oh, it was April 2018 actually? Coincidence? If so, I guess it is also a coincidence that the next version came out in October 2018 ( version 1809 ). What was the next “Windows 10”? Oh look, it was 1903. It did not come out until May. I guess MS has a harder time keeping a schedule than Canonical does.

The real lesson here though is that you should not ship new software as native packages for older distros. If the distro is not updating it, you should not either.

If you want to ship VS Code for older distributions, do it as a Flatpak. If you do not think that is fair, I am sure you must be enjoying the version of VS Code that ships specifically for Windows 10 1803. Or are you using a VS Code installer that ships independently of the OS which targets multiple releases of the OS?
And what do you do if you run out of batteries? Or lose the phone? Or it gets wet and won't turn on?

Doubtful, I'm sure it's related to the constant attacks against their infrastructure they must defend against (let's be honest, I'm sure Caesars is not defending successfully). The juice just ain't worth the squeeze. They have a business to run, and the risk of having a bunch of drunken and high hackers who happen to be the best in the world running amuck is not their idea of a good corporate event.

No matter how skilled a physician you consult, most of the damage to one’s health (or improvements) happens on the other 364 days you don’t see them. This include individual factors like diet and exercise, taking needed meds regularly. Also “social determinants” like sanitation, ability to afford said meds, working and living conditions.
I think we agree that things are addictive. Perhaps we disagree on the practical approach to resolving that. You aren't going to rid the world of fentanyl or cell phones. So now what?
Asking the IRS to pre-fill your taxes is totally reasonable. What's crazy is that they have all this information and have already computed how much tax I owe, but won't tell me what that is, and if I get it wrong or forget something then I'm both legally and financially liable.

You can still get a second opinion with pre-filled taxes.

We can make certain assumptions guided by game theory and ideas about evolution to speculate what aliens might or might not do.

See also how for us earthlings the moon is considered the common property of all mankind or something like that. And that's all well and good as long as no one can actually reach it well enough to make use of it; but I predict as soon as we have useful moonbases, we will move to a conception that's closer to 'possession is nine tenth of the law', if not outright 'might makes right'.

If not de-jure, then definitely at least de-facto.
Others use it differently, but I think he was using "GP" to mean "grandparent", as in the comment you would get to if you clicked on "parent" twice starting at his comment. In that system, you would be the "OP", not the "GP", although this too is not fully standardized.

In Canada this is an issue. The 'reusable' bags aren't cloth -- they're still a weave made from plastic. And it can be tied to culture and availability. It's much easier to 'remember' your bags if you're making a dedicated trip to the grocery store from home. But, if you want to spontaneously stop in after work, for example, you would have had to remembered a bag before you left home or had one on you at all times. We should be encouraging the type of city design that allows for (and encourages!) this type of spontaneous shopping. We should figure out the bagging system to match. Recyclable/compostable paper bags seem like a good thing.

GEB is my personal bible. It looks like I'll need to write a post just like this when I have a chance as it impacted me for all of those reasons, but my most significant take-aways(abstraction, the significance of analogies, and the meaning-of-meaning) are not even on OP's list.
What do you mean you doubt that. Thats obnoxious. this is simply a fact. Ive got a bike downstairs I could go ride it, one handed, no handed, pop a wheelie just like 15 years ago. My dad is in his fifties and i bet the same applies for him but hed complain about his wrists.

If the skill level takes ten seconds to reachieve I dont really consider that skill loss. Same for driving. Americans spend an insane amount of time driving, tens of thousands of hours from a young age. This is just not a skill that obviously weakens in any meaningful way if you dont do it for a year.

I need hard evidence, not just your unreasonable contrarianism.
Let’s not forget that “music solved this” ignores the fact that Spotify is not profitable, and may never be due to the record labels cut. Apple Music, Amazon Music and YouTube Music may or may not be profitable but are undoubtedly subsidized by their corporate parents.

Not sure if Tidal is profitable but they aren’t popular and are much more expensive than people are generally willing to spend. It’s also potentially subsidized by a corporate parent.

There’s also a trail of unprofitable or tiny businesses like SoundCloud and Bandcamp that may or may not survive quarter to quarter.

It’s not a solved problem.
The IRS already "does" your taxes.

They internally compute what you owe, and if what you submit doesn't add up, they dig deeper.
Wouldn’t you think that canceling and angering that community would be an even worse idea then?

I am so glad to see this backlash. It's been a long time coming.

We've tried smartphones out for the past... oh, decade and change. They've been around longer, but were niche enough that they didn't dominate society, and even around the start of the iPhone era, "Crackberry" and such were common enough terms (with "Put all your devices in the center, whoever picks theirs up first buys the next round" being a fun game to play in certain company).

The results are solidly in: They're an utter disaster for most people, and for society at large. In no particular order, they ruin social interactions in public situations (think "talking to people in the grocery line" - though I've seen fewer people on their phones lately and can get some conversations going), they're utterly toxic for teenagers (especially teenage girls - studies vary on just how bad it is, but "awful" is a good start), and on through the ages.

I think it's important for the "techie sorts" to very actively reject that which smartphones (and most of consumer tech, really...) has become, and that's one reason I carry a flip phone instead of a defanged smartphone - it's visually different and stands out as a "... wait, you carry one of those?" conversation starter.

I've been trying very hard to get back to an offline-first life. And dumping the smartphone is a key step there.
To remind you of the goalpost:

>to clarify, in the US, "I will kill you" may or may not be considered a threat

This is all I'm responding to. I'm not a lawyer so I'm not going to assert that you absolutely can or cannot consider it a threat. But it's not black and white like you're implied, and are currently implying.

Please don't accuse someone of derailing a discussion if you forgot the context. I've been patient but you've been incindiary in every response. That's not illegal but it is not in the spirit of HN rules.

>As I said before, you're not the first to try and curb someone's freedom of expression using the law.

You're not the first person to pretend you can threaten to end lives and "be oppressed" when the authorities come.

I'll remind you once more that we're talking about a theory here, since Tan did not literally say "I will kill you". Is Tan's literal words a threat? My mind hasn't changed in this discussion so I'll repeat my point and end it here before it devolves into a flame war:

>it will depend on the interpretation of the judge in question who is reading the quotes.

Reflect on this conversation for next time, others would be less hesitant to flag your comments.

Caesar's apparently explicitly said it wasn't related to anything the community did. It's possible that they're lying for some reason, but it's also possible that they're telling the truth.

Good summary. Examples of GEB’s “fluff” are missing from this comment section, so I wanted to jump in and add one of my favorite. Bach encoded his own name in music notes in a piece, and when discussing that, Hofstadter encodes a sentence in the first letter of each paragraph in that chapter.
> It is also a misconception that no religious people acknowledge that they might be wrong.

Right but very few I assume. I don't think preachers ordained by the Church ever tell you in public they actually might be wrong.

If they did that, surely someone would then ask: "Why do you think you might be wrong?" And they would have to answer: Because there is no evidence that what I'm saying is true.

The next logical question then would be: If you have no evidence, why are you telling us it is true? Why?

People of course have the right to believe what they want. I am sure people who attend church do so because it makes them feel better, more connected, more worthy of God's love, etc.

But I find it morally questionable to try to make other people believe in something for which there is no evidence at all. Wouldn't you?
I’m so surprised that more companies aren’t offering full-time positions as 20-30 hours a week and a corresponding drop in salary. “My current job will eventually kill me” is on the minds of some of the best people out there and I see many subconsciously (and consciously) avoiding positions that have a risk of that.

This is totally true for some models of computation (including some studied in academic computer science), but it's not true for the models of computation that the halting problem applies to, like the Turing machine, which explicitly has an infinite tape and therefore has the potential for an unbounded number of machine states.

In fact, this unboundedness is a core part of what makes these models of computation so expressive. In the Gödel's incompleteness theorem analogy, you can say "there is an integer such that ..." or "there is no integer such that ...". In the Turing machine model, you can write programs that search for counterexamples to mathematical claims. Because these programs are written to try every integer, you can only tell if they eventually halt by yourself resolving the mathematical claim.

For example, we can write a program that tests the Goldbach conjecture or the 3n+1 conjecture by brute force. Determining if these programs' search through all integers will halt or not is equivalent to resolving the status of these conjectures!
check out How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy (Odell, Jenny) ... the punchline is that it is always there, you just have to find a reason to not want it.

Also, going through the feature checklist on https://www.dumbphones.org/ made me realize how many of these things are so helpful. I checked all the ones I would want, and there were no dumbphones that supported them. GPS Navigation, Group Text, Hotspot, WiFi Calling, Rideshare, Camera, Calendar Sync. And, if it can do all those things, its not that dumb.
Just curious, ignore me if I'm annoying, but are you navigating the internet entirely without any ability to click a mouse pointer in any way?
My best guess is that this reduced litter, but increased actual plastic use (via increased plastic in 'reusable' plastic-weave bags, and increased use of dedicated garbage bags for trash).

It's weird because TV is also culture. Game of Thrones isn't just some random piece of personal, single-player entertainment: it was, and is, an important cultural phenomenon for at least half of the planet.

That's what makes the dynamics so weird: it's not just, or even primarily, about your personal entertainment - there are social aspects involved, from wanting to belong with your peer group (e.g. talk about latest GoT episode with your cow-orkers at the water cooler), to all kinds of rituals (e.g. watching romantic comedies with a date/spouse).

Same applies to books and musics, to a lesser degree to magazines/news media. For some reason, it mostly doesn't apply to videogames; I used to think it was because they're a new thing, but these days, I think it's rather because the experience is much more individualized and requires much more effort (and time), making it a poor social object.
