I think you are focusing on the wrong part of their argument. Whether or not a user has an iphone is pretty much irrelevant. The point is what they prioritize above or below interoperability.

For zero downside, everyone prefers more interoperability over less interoperability. But if you ask people to actually give something up for interoperability (usually by requiring them to pay for it, but sometimes it is less obvious) then you rapidly discover that most people don't care very much. The same thing is true for managers and "performance". Everyone will say they want more performance, but almost nobody is willing to sacrifice even a single tracking library for it.
I have watched many of his videos, including recent ones and I don't remember anything about crypto/web3.0. He kind of an Elon Musk fan, but far from the most obnoxious one.

The "start from scratch" part is annoying to many, including myself, but he explained his reasons. And a group took back the 2nd iteration (MMX), trying to fix it, and mostly agreed. The goal was to have a machine playable on stage, and there was too many problems with that.
i still think that at&t outage was a cyber attack.
thanks! i had the advantage (?) of writing that before cellphones had accelerometers so i had to think up something else. haven't implemented it yet, tho
I go to weather.gov often and have actually filled out one of their pop up surveys. I suspect thats the feedback.

This may be intentional, but I just want to note that the way you phrase the question is going to mean that the numbers will correlate better with the choices that people make for their own tech than with their opinions on whether companies should be required to interop.

For example: I personally value being able to install any software I want, use alternative clients, and having a choice of browsers.

However, I also recognize that a lot of the appeal of the Apple ecosystem is that apps have predictable behavior, integrate tightly with the underlying platform, and all use the same consumer-first interface for payments.

This means that I personally choose to have an Android phone and install almost all of my apps through F-Droid, but I do not support efforts to force Apple to open up their ecosystem. Consumers deserve to be able to choose tight integration over interop.
The SPX connector has been gone. Rev4 (Standard Kickstand) is compatible with normal RJ45 568B. You can slap it into any of the current Starlink PoE injectors on the market (like from Yaosheng) with general success.

Though if you find yourself stuck with an SPX model, Yaosheng also has a nice quality adapter cheap, too.
So that happened... Jesus. I've read a lot of articles about the way they implement stuff but this takes the cake. Hands down one of, if not the best write up of something wild I've ever read. Top shelf.
Thanks for the clarification on suicide vs assisted suicide. Yes, I do agree that the discussion in the book is about assisted suicide. It's been about a year since I've read it, so those details evaded me.

I do understand where the author was going with the discussion regarding assisted suicide, but the timing of the argument and the amount of time spent on it at the point in the story is the root of my main objection with presenting it.

Throughout most of the book, there's very little regarding ethics at least with the amount of painstaking detail that it's presented in, in comparison to the assisted suicide discussion. The discussion felt bolted on as it was presented around the fever pitch of the story just before a global nuclear war is about to break loose, we get bludgeoned over the head by a priest that's fervently against assisted suicide. The placement of the argument and the timing is just awkward in my opinion.

Again, this book touches on a lot of interesting ideas ahead of its time but the execution feels weak and confused. I would have preferred that each part remain completely separate honestly.

And of course, all of this is based on my taste. I recognize that this is considered a seminal piece of science fiction. In general I find myself fairly forgiving when attempting to read something I normally wouldn't, but this took the cake for me in regards to the amount of pain per page I suffered while trying to make it through.

It's far more chilling to me that people ascribe value to genetic lines outside that ascribed by living, breathing people.

What do you mean? Wikipedians can cite primary sources. AARoads is such a source.

Of course, the person who writes the Wikipedia article should preferably not be the same person who wrote the article being cited.
That's also a good point
Yes but you speak of it as if I can 'choose' to work at such company. Their interview processes are a mess and basically a random lottery. They don't test your engineering ability. They don't correspond to the job.

Personally I also have concerns about ethics which has hindered my ability to convey genuine enthusiasm when speaking with interviewers at such companies.

There is no theoretical difference between "bytecode" and "machine code", other than speed.

Bytecode is just "a machine code that is designed better than those stupid hardware engineers for the computer I'm using actually did".

Historically, it made a lot of sense on crappy 8 bit CPUs such as the 6502 and z80, if only for the ability to manipulate 16 or 32 bit quantities with a single instruction. Often you also got a bigger and more orthogonal register set, or stack orientation. Bytecode was also often better than the idiosyncratic instruction sets on early minicomputers and mainframes -- usually in size, but especially in being portable between the vast array of different ISAs we used to have before the world settled on just x86 and Arm.

But I don't think there's much of a place for it in the modern world. Perhaps a little for portability, with simpler and more well-defined semantics than C or other languages you compile into bytecode, with the intention to compile it to native code before running.

But not for size.

I've yet to see a bytecode that consistently beats a well-designed modern machine code for size, over an entire real world program, not just some set of cherry-picked toy examples. I include here primarily Arm Thumb2 and RISC-V with the C extension, but there are some other less well-known ones e.g. Renesas RX which is basically an improved M68K and the only example I know of a variable-length instruction encoding at byte granularity that is actually done right and has a significant usage of 1-byte instructions in real code.

I include, especially, stack-oriented bytecodes. They look amazing for evaluating complex arithmetic expressions. But programs mostly do not consist of complex expressions, they do a lot of "a = a + 1" and "c = a + b" and using four instructions to implement these using 1-byte instructions is no better, size-wise, than a simple RISC with 4 byte 3-address instructions. It's worse than Thumb, which does both of these in 2 bytes (assuming the variables are in registers).

I think you make a good point. My argument was that Microsoft's security isn't that great, therefore the risk of the model ending up in the hands of the bad actors you mention isn't sufficiently low.

Who is responsible for the output of generative LLMs? Is it the person running the model, the person or group or company which trained the model, the creator of the initial parameters, the person who regurgitates what the model produced?
It’s not a great camera. Worse than my iPhone 8. Maybe somewhere around my iPhone 4 or 5S quality. So it's usable. I can upload a video later.
I feel like if there were to be a problem, it would be with the American AAA instead, which is probably more similar given that it offers roadside assistance and other road services.
Have several cameras that may be compatible but the lack of a clear installation guide and a community has always bothered me about this project.
True enough. I didn't want to complicate my message. I only meant the risk of the first exposure is much, much greater than subsequent ones.

It is unarguable that the risk of the first exposure to a novel virus is much greater than subsequent exposures. I say this because T-cells generalize across mutations. And T-cells stay tissue resident for years to decades (unfortunately sars-cov-2 IgG and IgA antibodies are gone by 6 months).

Your T-cells from the first sars-cov-2 exposure will start killing infected cells much faster once you've been exposed. This limits the replication earlier and reduces the viral load. This reduces damage done.

Weird side effects like the collection of things called long-covid have been shown in study after study not to be related to viral load. So whatever risk is associated with reinfection does not decrease in that sense. But in the dying sense? It decreases a lot.
I think that's one of the fairer ones due to weird timeskip in the introduction.

What about the people further down the chain getting less and less? Presumably that doesn't bother you either.

It seems like you weren't really asking an objective question of 'why this is happening' but rather a subjective one of 'why should I care, I'm doing fine'

It's a valid question, why should you care, if you are doing well in this moment. I can't answer it for you.
Four is not a small number?
I started following this guy making the MMX (second verison of this machine) around the same time I was designing and prototyping the most complicated project I've ever worked on.

Tuning in every week and seeing him make progress, or run into a failure and then eventually overcome it kept me motivated with my own personal project. In fact I was even racing him, trying to finish mine before the MMX was completed. The internet is full of b.s. influencers telling you to be motivated, but Martin and the Marble Machine definitely kept me going and kept it fun.
As someone that got a lot of value out of client side load balancers as a language neutral network library (e.g. we ran envoy under synapse for a while) From the start the Istio design choices tended to address problems we didn't have / felt like architectural dream states while making problems we did have harder to address. The messaging and overall focus seems to have improved and focused more on meat and potatoes features but there's still a number of things that are hard to tweak via the standard istio apis that we have to backdoor in there.
Something that I see on OpenStreetMap - someone gets motivated and maps a neighborhood in an incredible detail down to the last tree, bench and trashcan, but not motivated enough to actually update the changes over the years, leading to the map being wrong and untrustworthy.
Ah dang, you are right. Wasn't intentional, I wanted to hear more about the second way, that everything should open up, and not the personal way.
Interest is on its way to be the largest category of spending by 2051. This assumes rates never go above 4%. Every 1% increase is basically equivalent to adding another defense department.

People choosing to drive more expensive (and physically punishing in the event of a collision) vehicles is some part of it. But insurance companies like that, so they're not about to include that in their PR script.
The requirement isn't to avoid discrimination, it is to not get caught. That somewhat opaque "AI" layer is great for that.
I think you’re projecting a lot of things that onto me based on the one or two sentences I posted above. To clarify - I do drugs regularly (though I’m avoiding anything powdered until this fentanyl thing blows over), I have lost friends to drug overdoses, I have had friends choose to hide or open up about their problems to me (for whatever reason, people like to keep things a secret when it’s not going well, drugs or not), I live in a place where drugs have been decriminalized and recriminalized and I’m still nominally for decriminalizing them (mostly because I’m an accerationist). People die from taking drugs, they don’t die from video games or from not being handled with enough psychological care when it comes to harms reduction messaging. I was simply commenting that I don’t like the “dangerous ideas” thing and think that it’s very disingenuous to call verbal inclinations dangerous in comparison to methamphetamine or LSD (both of those are fun and dangerous). Different sports leagues, not ballparks.

Hard drugs are dangerous and I’ve seen a lot of people get burnt thinking they can abuse them freely. From time to time I burn myself as well, but have a penchant for stove touching, probably related to the accelerationism thing.
I think if a case reaches the Supreme Court it really only means that the person prosecuting it is able to bankroll appeals far enough to get there - they didn’t get the answer they wanted. Beyond that, the court can either hear it out or push it back down.
Not only is what you say true, but interoperability isn't even a nice linear spectrum to compare across. For instance, I own a PinePhone, which can run mainline GNU/Linux rather than Android. That ranks highly for 'interoperability': almost complete freedom to change any part of the software stack. Yet for the same reason, it has less interoperability with the very proprietary apps that are necessary to access banks, tickets and various communication services online - these deliberately or incidentally block you from accessing their services from such a 'free' device.

I don't regret my purchase, as it's still an affordable, capable handset, but I have had to compromise and get an Android device as well. Interoperability can't exist in a vacuum and still be desirable. The EU's DMA should hopefully improve interoperability in addition to the existing conveniences of the Apple/Google duopoly - that's the exciting thing about it.
Thank you! I have been trying to find this from vague memory!

I'm really interested in this concept but the above link is vaporware.

None of these projects actually have a noun phrase I can search that unify them. I don't even know what to call this flavor of kinesthetic computing.

Why do you dislike that? The purpose of insurance is to help protect against losses. If you don't have a $100k car, you can't lose it.

And this is reflected in your insurance premium. The cost to insure your own car is lower if you have a less expensive car.

I do, however, think it's a bit unfair if you have to pay more for liability insurance because other people have chosen to buy more expensive cars.

Arguably the original iPod fits in alongside the original iPhone and Watch. It was significantly less of a finished, polished product than the commercially successful 3/4th gen models onward that people tend to think of when iPods are mentioned.
No backups? Never do major version upgrades? Neither of these things are covered by the Postgres defaults. And even without them, I don't think I can get Ansible to install Postgres in < 10 lines. Yet all of these are covered in my ~30 line YAML running Postgres on Kubernetes. Plus of course recovering from pod and node failure, load balancing and more.

I think for most places, most of the time Kubernetes is overkill. Cloud in general isn't great bang for the buck. But speaking to your anecdote, having actually deployed these things in the past 3-4 hours to deploy a custom application, AND Postgres AND Kafka is a pretty compelling use case FOR Kubernetes. It would certainly take me a lot longer doing a proper job of it managing the system directly or using something like Ansible.

A few thousand years of human history offers many potential answers.
And if it's actually systematically charging e.g. a specific minority more than other people, it will get caught in a hurry and end up being hugely costly for the company.

This kind of stuff is easy to catch. A single person typing some different parameters into an insurance quote webpage can catch it.
I've signed up and sent contributions to a few "let's build a phone!" projects (like, for example, the neo900). I've come to the conclusion that building a phone is just not something a small group of people can do on a small budget. They won't get access to good processors, etc, because their projected volumes are too small to interest suppliers. The project inevitably ends up being very, very late. They can't build many prototypes and test them extensively, so if something actually gets shipped, it will be buggy.
I love the aesthetic of phones like this, but I'm not sold on comments like this (from the reddit ama in the article):

> Its durability also means less frequent replacements, countering the disposable culture of modern electronics.

My starting point is that the most eco-friendly phone avilable to me is the one I already have. That comment reads to me as saying that if you have a fault you need a replacement instead of being able to opt for repair. I simply do not believe that a phone that isn't built to be repaired can be considered more eco-friendly than not buying a new phone.

The CEO has promised more information about repairability closer to launch and I hope they follow through; I would guess that compared to the average phone purchase the overlap of people who want a minimal phone and people who want a repairable phone is pretty high.

Insurance is usually regulated and prices (and increases) are set and approved by a governmental body, at least in the US.

That's the more likely reason for similar insurance prices from different providers.
That's most people's web 3.0 experience lol.
In 2022, the world bought 99.8 million barrels per day. In 2023, we bought 102.4. The IEA data says explicitly that demand is growing. There is no debate about that.

But I get your point re: the word "curbed". The word is mathematically vague and means effectively "restrained". Which doesn't tell us if that's a reduction of the metric itself or a simply a reduction in the rate of increase (the second derivative of the metric). Or the relative rate of increase per capita. So depending on your interpretation, you may or may not believe emissions are 'curbed'

My take is that the atmosphere doesn't give a shit about the rate, or which specific countries are curbing what. The only thing that matters from a climate perspective is the absolute global tonnage of greenhouse gas emissions. Unless we reduce that, we're losing the climate fight. I'm increasingly frustrated with our tendency to chase after irrelevant metrics and claim success. I'm not celebrating until we actually reduce emissions.
Here a visual illustration:

Do you pray for every major gods every day? Because even at 50% odds or whatever it could change everything
I haven't had auto insurance in nearly ten years (because I don't own a car myself), and I gotta say, this is increasingly saving me more and more money over time. Everything about cars in the US is just getting so expensive (including the cars themselves); I wonder when it will start collapsing?
The forth base I was thinking of is Freeforth, which is an STC Forth that assigns registers to the top two stack elements to avoid SWAP instructions.
I take your point about caches, but surely a Forth like this that optimises the words during compile (inlining etc) would help?

I guess that this hypothetical stc Forth would have to have abstracted I/O and registers- any spare ones outside the stack management could be used for data passing, maybe as the top of the data stack.

Of note, this cache friendliness would dictate the kernel wordset, so choosing it would be dependent on your cpu targets.

Really the OO is in support of vocabulary modules and data spaces. Freeforth has a cross compiler environment to MSP430 cpus - as a module this would make hygienically writing to new targets easy.
