Thank you for the comments. WhatsApp is much better than SMS. I understand SMS is standard, but you are missing so many cool features like buttons, video, workflows, scheduling, and payments. Slowly but surely WhatsApp will take some market share. BTW, USA is the 3rd country by WhatsApp users worldwide!!
More than 90 million users.
A company with 450 employees doesn’t need 2 CEOs.

Happy to see that they plan to maintain their sponsorship for Tour de France avec Femmes.

Sad to hear about the discontinuation of the new hub trainer hardware. The Zwift cog was pretty awesome, especially for the price point. Since it’s made by Wahoo, hopefully we see this available directly through wahoo now since the R&D has already been done and they were the ones making and designing it anyway.
> There's almost never a situation where I need more than two things visible at once.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when I point out that OSes have had built-in support for virtual desktops for years now, and that using them to extend your monitor infinitely and switch between them with a single keypress is far more ergonomic than having to crane your neck to see a screen that's not directly in front of you at the perfect position.
My F750GS is such an easy bike to live with. It's one of those products that on paper seems boring compared to the competitors but when you actually use it every day you see why it's nice.
We regrettably have one app under apples scrutiny…we won’t make that mistake again.

Open web is the best place for us to invest our time.
I put all my files on a /data partition, including home. Very easy to back up to external disk.

Last time I bought a Thunderbolt4 cable, plugged them in directly and rsync copied everything in minutes. Rsync does block checksums; run it twice. Important files are in git, which can help. ext4 has metadata checksums as well.

I kept original files for a another week, but have external drive backup and old photos on bluray too.
He probably watched one of Apple's immersive videos (I think it was "Highlining") where for some idiotic reason there is some panning.
Offer still stands. Will stop checking in on this thread after this upcoming weekend.
If you want to harder your code against timing attacks, you need to actively work hard, instead of just relying on some operations taking O(1).

(I don't even know whether your processor does regular multiplication and division in O(1)?)
I sometimes give way to bicyclists at four-way stops because I can't be sure they didn't get there before I did and I didn't see them because they're small.

And of course, if a vehicle, be it a bicyclist or car, enters an intersection when I have right-of-way, it's not like I'm going to start crossing and intentionally run into them.

Where bicyclists really risk their lives if they start assuming cars will give way to them is when they blow through two-way stops, especially at night or at one of the many intersections with poor visibility.

Like how California leads the country on emission standards, you'd think the cars following the elevated CA emission standards across the country would also follow the Idaho standard too. Ignoring it is perilous... if a driver incorporates the Idaho Stop into their driving they will not be confused by bicyclists using the Idaho Stop. They might even be more prepared for other things like people running on the side of the road.

Drivers(Idaho included) by and far embrace the California Stop colloquialism if you ask me. The majority of traffic on roads is cars and the majority of traffic rolls through stop signs.
For many politicians and voters, mere cruelty is the entire point[1] of lawmaking. The government's purpose is to hurt one's opponents, which is more important than helping... anyone.

Yamaha Niken. Ducati also does some really cool stuff with their bike tech, but doesn't market it as much as the other brands, preferring their exotic brand image.
Sure, maybe. My broader point is that the tower would branch at some point.
I'm still pretty new myself, but I'm pretty sure adding card works but changing fields doesn't.
Have you tried GPT-4? What kind of interests do you have?
Yep. The actual answer is they believe the West is weak and easily bored. The Russian government has never cared about dead Russians, and believes just waiting us out will win them what they need at a cost they don't care about.

I mean, it's going to absolutely wreck Russia, but again: the Russian government for basically the last 1,000 years sees the citizen as a resource to be expended for it's greatness.
Enough rewriting history that January 6th was some sort of peaceful protest.

No political support except coordination between the Trump administration and the convicted leaders, dozens of these them, charged with seditious conspiracy of both the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, key planners behind the January 6th insurrection.

No political support except the march on the capitol beginning with Trump saying ""We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore," before telling his supporters to march to the capitol. The same crowd not standing down until Trump told them to "Go home, we love you".

No political support except some Republican members of Congress leading riot participants through the capitol in the days before the event.

An event that was literally designed in adanvce to pressure Congress and the Vice President with the threat of violence (gallows and a crowd chanting "Hang Mike Pence") into rejecting legitimate election results and accepting slates of false electors. A crowd running through the Capitol chanting "where are you Nancy?" - echoed in an attack on her husband Paul Pelosi not long after.

An event that was proceeded by pipe bombs planted at the GOP and Democratic headquarters.

An event that involved the beating of Capitol police officers to force their way into the inner chambers of Congress.

And you're lying about insurrectionist Ashlii Babbit. She was not shot in the back, she was forcing herself into a shattered window, into a hallway where Congress was evacuating, along with other rioters.

Tell me, what was the end game of the rioters there? What do you think would have happened had they managed to get into the chamber while Congress was still present?
The display is good enough to use for a monitor replacement. It's not the same quality as my 4k or 5k monitors, but it's good enough to use, which is different than the Quest 2.
> I wonder what need they're fulfilling here.

The need to fill more seats on the AI hype train.

most states require you to stop as long as a pedestrian is in the cross-walk (one of the many traffic rules that most drivers disregard).
You should rename your project.
Yes there is a hostility between drivers and bikers and bikers and cars, where they both build up resentment and settled for this hostile middle ground where they both treat the others poorly.

Not to mention plenty of people in both are just dumb or ignorant of their surroundings
I daily commuted on a 300cc for a long time and yeah, the extra power is very handy on US highways. I find at least 70hp is a nice sweet spot, and everything above that is mostly for putting a grin on your face for a solo rider.
If he's bright and does well with pressure, almost any high paying high pressure job would be a place he could succeed. He likes biology, he could be an ER doctor. If he likes tech, he could be a world class SRE. If he's a people person, sales or law would love someone like him. Trading or quant would probably be a fun game for him and make him gobs of money.

Just encourage him to study a wide variety of topics so he can pursue his passion.

It's thinkpieces like this that make me believe that IT professionals specifically and white collar workers generally would benefit greatly from a mandatory 24 month stint on a construction crew. One of the most important lessons any job foreman can learn is that every crew needs at least one lame duck.

A single talented carpenter with an energetic but otherwise totally unskilled helper can accomplish more in a shift than two talented carpenters together. If you don't have someone to run to the truck for nails, hold shit, move ladders, etc. productivity suffers because your talent is wasting time on menial tasks.

Same thing applies to IT departments. The folks the author is busy sneering at are at least as valuable as the engineers they're actively trying to retain because (among other things) they soak menial tasks that would otherwise cut into their rockstar's productivity.
I went through a progression, where I was first accepted to Google (genuinely one of the most exciting moments of my life), and I gradually fell into a deeper and deeper cynicism as I saw all my fantasies about how the world should work evaporate. Maybe it was just growing up. Even the "best company in the world that does no evil" is really just a bunch of profit-mongering assholes.

That said, so is the rest of the world, at least in my experience. So long as you go into it with open eyes about what it really is, Google is a pretty solid experience. You should never identify with it or sympathize with it, but if you approach it as a parasite hoping to extract as much value from you as it can, it offers a pretty great personal opportunity. You've just got to keep in mind that it is not your friend, it is not looking out for your best interests, and it is definitely not not evil.
> That's been a thing for millenia.

Somehow, the world changes day to day, year to year, generation to generation; somehow we change the world; and all despite the fact that, as people now copypasta everywhere, 'it's always been that way'. Do people say that at work meetings? Talking to investors? One wonders what all these entrepeneurs and engineers do? No wonder funding is drying up (I think that might be a literal problem - the despair, pessimism and cynicism reaching the executive suite).

We've always had carbon in the atmosphere, warfare, poverty, oppression, ... and people saying that _____ has always been that way.
Since I came across it in its very early days, for nearly three decades the fourmilab.ch site has been the one constant in my weblife. Treasure trove of projects and ideas and book suggestions. Eclectic is the word which pops up in my head right now and insists on being used.

Had a few email exchanges with the man himself. On randomness, on English grammar, on Swedish adventures in The Thirty Years' War, on certain politics (where we didn't necessarily see eye to eye but where there was plenty of room for civilised discussion). Unfailingly polite, informative, entertaining, and of course with cognitive ressources most of us can only dream of.

John Walker, thanks for all the effort and the inspiration. I shall miss your presence.
In my experience, Five Guys provides $7 burgers at $20 prices. They're fine, but very overpriced for what they are.
Some states have a half rule. Or a rule that as long as the pedestrian hasn’t passed your car yet, you need to stop. I’m not even clear what my state (Washington) follows ATM:

> (1) The operator of an approaching vehicle shall stop and remain stopped to allow a pedestrian, bicycle, or personal delivery device to cross the roadway within an unmarked or marked crosswalk when the pedestrian, bicycle, or personal delivery device is upon or within one lane of the half of the roadway upon which the vehicle is traveling or onto which it is turning. For purposes of this section “half of the roadway” means all traffic lanes carrying traffic in one direction of travel, and includes the entire width of a one-way roadway.
At this point, I think the burden of proof is on anybody who thinks a serious saturation attack on a carrier group (hundreds of missiles and/or decoys per wave, multiplied by multiple waves) from a peer adversary wouldn't work.

If a conflict with Russia or China breaks out, I think the first thing that happens is aircraft carriers are going to immediately become obsoleted by antiship missiles as quickly as battleships were obsoleted by air attacks in WWII. Probably even more quickly.

I sure hope I'm wrong. And even more than that I hope we never find out.
Maybe - although I watched that one and was ok.
Yeah, Cloud is definitely a money maker.

If someone has a microcenter nearby, they could build an 8 core ddr4 system with 128gb of ram for maybe $800.

$3200+ could build a 64 core/128gb ddr5 rig.

> CICO is hard to maintain. Eventually willpower fails and gradual overeating begins, leading to surprisingly large and abrupt weight regain.

The key difference, for nerd hackers, is the floater/sinker graph and the average. Some apps do this these days, though it seems to be less common than it was a few years ago (e.g. Withings and Apple no longer present their data that way).

So as long as the sinker is below the trend you will lose, at some rate. You don’t have to be starving yourself unless you have a fetish, just stay below the trend line. When you have a spurt of enthusiasm you can drive yourself lower; when you are finding it hard, just try to stay below trend.

It’s a manual form of gamification.
"> I live adjacent to a four-way stop and there's an incident where a cyclist fails to yield nearly hourly.

You can blame the cyclist or perhaps a four-way stop with a nearly hourly cyclist incident needs to be redesigned."

Or, bear with me here, just maybe the cyclists failing to yield is kind of the big issue here?

Back when those came out I used a dozen of them on a serial network to run a custom robot. As part of that project I designed a floppy disk controller, paged memory expansion boards, motor control and encoder interface boards, control panel interface and more.

In case the context isn’t clear to some, no Internet, no Arduino…you couldn’t buy a bunch of little boards to solve problems. The entire project consisted of a couple dozen wire-wrapped STD-44 boards. Like these:

https://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1801376.pdf

I also wrote my own file manager and code editor.

All in Forth.
There was always something I liked about Forth when I didn't have to do much stack-thinking. One of the things that felt forth-y to me when I first encountered it was threaded code in Clojure (or any other point-free kind of idiom for that matter).

https://santhoshkris.medium.com/threading-macros-in-clojure-...

I'll sometimes abuse Python's compose to do similar things I won't send out for code review. Maybe I really should just try to live in Coconut instead of silly stuff like:

import chess
import chess.svg
from IPython.display import SVG, display
from functools import reduce

def rcompose(*fs):
return reduce(lambda f, g: lambda *xs, **ys: g(f(*xs, **ys)), fs)

inline_board = rcompose(
chess.Board,
chess.svg.board,
SVG,
display)

Factor's quotations dealing with stack management weirdness is super nice, too.

https://concatenative.org/wiki/view/Concatenative%20language...

It still has a bit more stack juggling than I like, though. That could just be a "me" problem. Props to that whole community for their effort.

> It's stealing in the cultural appropriation sense, not the copyright sense.

Well, I agree with that. But very likely not for the same reasons you do.
The verge very briefly mentioned it in the “magic till not” video.
I understand your post now. My point (which doesn't have to be your point) is, why are people motivated to argue for that?
Floats seem to be pretty good for running graphics processing. (I would also say AI training and inference, but the machine learning people are constantly experimenting with weird new number formats.)

The 'daily computations' you mention only need a tiny amount of computational power. So it's fair for our CPUs to simulate them via library code.

You should however complain about a programming language that makes it unnecessarily hard to use those 'daily computation' numbers. As a positive example, Python automatically gives you unlimited size integers by default, and only gives you size limited integers, if you explicitly ask for them.
It’s really hard to swallow the “lack of purpose” argument.

If you work with Gen Z people, you start to notice it:

• They don’t want to be on cam

• When they are on cam, they either show their forehead or they have a $500+ studio setup with background LEDs, props and other new ways to show status.

• They go out of their way to be hyper-courteous with regards to eating into the mic, flash bangs (bright white screens), and looking like shit on a video call.

As the world goes more WFH, upcoming generations are going to find their own way to validate physical existence in the workplace. After using AVP for a weekend, I feel confident Apple gets it.
Mearsheimer is literally on Russian payroll. His works have received financial support from Russian government through the so-called Valdai club.

Andrei Kozyrev, the minister of foreign affairs of the Russian Federation (1990-1996), had this to say about the purpose of the club and people like Mearsheimer:

I ask Kozyrev about a debate that has roiled the American foreign policy establishment in the leadup to this war. Did NATO go too far? On the contrary, he thinks it didn’t go far enough.

“One thing among many I admire about the American character is your ability to look into what you did and to be very, very critical of your mistakes,” Kozyrev says, in what I’m right to assume is a slightly philosophical preliminary to an incoming polemic. “Like when Congress unanimously passed a ban on any kind of lynching. It’s a little late, but it’s important because it’s a form of national repentance. That’s what Russia doesn’t do. Russia doesn’t repent. It hasn’t really for Stalinism or for cutting a deal with Hitler. Instead, it blames Ukraine for Nazism, which is ridiculous.”

As to the pundits and policy mandarins who think the West sleepwalked into this crisis, which now threatens to bleed out beyond the borders of Russia and Belarus and Ukraine, Kozyrev thinks that’s simply nonsense. “Unfortunately, there are many wishful thinkers especially in academia here and intellectuals who have ties to Russia. They go to Valdai [a Russian think tank forum]. They consume caviar and vodka and are treated like kings by those who exist solely to manipulate them. This argument about NATO is just propaganda fed to Americans who then regurgitate it in their opinion and journal essays. The only real analysts who come here from Russia are dissidents. The rest are front people, just like in the Soviet Union, and they manufacture Western champions of the Putin regime, chumps and useful idiots.”

I recommend reading it in full: https://newlinesmag.com/reportage/russias-ex-foreign-ministe...

His longer account of Russia-NATO relations is also quite a bit different from how Russian lapdogs try to depict the history in 2024: https://transatlanticrelations.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/0...

The iPhone 1 is perhaps a stretch, but how have things meaningfully changed since the iPhone 4? (which in 2010 introduced the front-facing camera, something that radically changed how many people use their phone.)

That was over 13 years ago, and while SOCs have become faster (though OS's, apps, and websites have become more bloated), the devices have become larger (which makes it easier to type and fit a larger battery), and the cameras have definitely improved, but I can't think of anything I regularly do on my current phone that the iPhone 4's hardware wasn't capable of supporting.

The iPhone 4 already replaced many people's dedicated flashlights, watches, cameras, and GPS navigators back then. Sure, software has changed. Online dating is far more prevalent, but the iPhone 4 definitely could run dating apps, even if it was less common. Likewise, paying people through digital apps is much more common now, but it's not like Venmo or PayPal didn't use to run on the iPhone 4.

The way we use our phones since the iPhone 4 released has changed, but not because of hardware changes. I mean modders have gotten Android 14 running on the Galaxy S3, which released nearly 12 years ago.
Banks provide the interface, FedNow will provide the rails. Alias support is on the roadmap, and the service is intended to support peer to peer as well as consumer payments per their documentation.
No it’s not. AB122 passed the legislature to legalize the California roll for cyclists, because coming to a full stop at a stop sign makes no sense for riders with high visibility. Newsom vetoed it for stupid culture war reasons. It’s a law that doesn’t make sense so it’s not a big issue if it isn’t followed.
What kinds of applications do you have in mind that are (a) CPU bound (or GPU bound), and (b) would benefit from your 'saner' numbers?

Eg graphics in general or video decoding specifically is definitely something that does a lot of processing; but I don't see how it would benefit from eg base-10 numbers?

Spreadsheets might benefit from base-10 numbers by default; but they are not CPU bound at all. Mostly they just sit around and wait for user input.
