I think this is the strongest reason to avoid it, and I would have done the same. It's just going to lead the audience to weird places and confusion. And distract from all of the other things Dune has going for it. Replicating the EFFECT on the audience of a book written in 1965 is really a big undertaking.

Even if you ignore the rather blunt stereotyping and selective aspects of Islamic cultures that Herbert injected. Or carried over from another story, as was highlighted earlier.

Not sure if you read the last part:

"...internally developed and maintained for a fraction of that cost over the products lifecycle."

Now, imagining a lifecycle of this specific app in question of 5 years, are you suggesting that a total spend of $900k for the SaaS would be LESS than developing and maintaining this one tool internally?
So why are getting offended about call outs of actual racism if you aren't upset about the races of the characters?

The second part of your comment could have been anywhere in this thread, especially if you actually had specific complaints.

But you had to use the word woke and get angry, so you could pretend there haven't been racist comments about the show on the internet from the sci-fi community?

Pretending nobody is racist helps no one but actual racists from getting called out.

Plus, back then it wasn't as bimodal as today. A students tended to move on to good universities and then great jobs. B students would go to an OK state school and get a decent office job. C students could maybe go to community college or learn a trade and have a decent go at the middle class. D students could at least shape themselves up and learn a trade or join the military and have a remote shot at earning a living.

Now, there are pretty much two groups: 1. the top-top-top of both your class and your entire region, with above a 4.0GPA, with all the expected community service and extracurriculars, and so on, who end up in elite schools and prestigious careers, and 2. everyone else, who end up scrapping with each other over the lower-and-lower paying jobs and more tenuous future. There's no middle anymore.
If you don't, should you be using a highly directional (Starlink achieves the capacity it does through spatial reuse allowed by directional antennas on both ends, so the satellites do need to know where you are pretty precisely), proprietary-hardware-requiring, inherently authenticated (for billing purposes), and generally very civilian focused satellite service?

A military service would probably use wider beams coming from the satellite, as well as different encryption (making it impossible to distinguish which terminal is being transmitted to on which beam and not using correlatable identifiers on unencrypted protocol layers at all).

Using civilian communications technology like cell phones has been a bad idea, as evidenced in the same conflict.

It is not a big deal if a human person's website becomes inaccessible to huge bursts of traffic. Humans don't want huge bursts of traffic from non-interested people, only profit motivated incorporated persons do. What if you get featured on HN? The site becomes inaccessible for a few hours to a day. No big deal. Human person sites have no requirements for uptime.

All elements in a container floats to the top of the container and right or left (depending on the text direction ltr or rtl) of the previous element. If there is no space left it will move below the previous elements.

If an element has `display: block`, it will fill up all horizontal space so every element after it will float below that element.

That is why it is called `float`. It's how the position of elements is calculated.

If you use `float:left|right` it forces the float of that element to float left or right before all other elements in the same container.

That is what float means.

But of course this does not work anymore if your container uses flex or grid.
Scott Manley in the X thread said "So, is the turbine section driving a generator to make electricity to power the compressor" and Ian Brooke replied "Exactly that. ...

In this case, we understand the cause of the problem incredibly well. Advances in technology reduced the amount of work that needs to be done in an office building; and a once in a century pandemic caused the resulting shift away from office building to happen much faster then it otherwise would have.
So the article and study argue that millennials aren't actually lazy, because it's young people in general that are lazy (about work). Literally. It's a dystopian argument. They're saying that it's nothing specifically to do with a certain generation of people, it's just that young people on average are more lazy now. So millennials aren't lazy, definitely, only young people are, which millennials are, but millennials aren't lazy. It does your head in trying to follow their "logic".

My mom made a labor-intensive dessert she called "broken window cake." It had small cubes of different flavors of Jello suspended in a sweet, whitish sponge cake-like substance. I loved it.
I feel like the main difference is that my generation looks at the purpose of the work they do and realize that it doesn't improve the world. And when you are aware of the climate crisis we are living through, and have been our entire lives, how do you convince yourself to care about making someone else's line go up and to the right? Not like a majority of millennials will see any real benefits of making the stock market go so high, while the necessary actions to make a sustainable future are lagging behind where some of the brightest scientists say we should be.
Do you know what the author means by "Current visualization software, such as UCSF ChimeraX6 , can only render one or a few protein structures at the atomic level."

I haven't used VMD for about 30 years, but even in the 1990s I was using it to visualize the full poliovirus structure (4 proteins in 2PLV * 60 copies, as I recall).

Interesting concepts, but dependency on Bazel is meh :(

Also, there are some passionate statements about other languages:

> As it's currently defined, there's nothing requiring the two arguments to actually have the same type. In this trivial example, that may be fine, but if I were to actually want to ensure that two arguments both implement an interface and they both actually have the same type, then I'm out of luck - there's no way to statically encode this constraint in Java!

This is simply not true:

static <T extends Stringify> void prettyPrintPair(T x, T y)

I personally really dislike when people talk about any kind of language feature with strong negativity, while providing their solution as the superior one. There is a high chance that they are wrong, since different features in the same area have different benefits, and usually no one thing is “better” than another, whatever this means.

Similar doesn't mean identical. Neurological systems in the brain have to take into account all sorts of things that we can discard in a simulated environment, energy just being one example.

While maybe "not too different" might be a bit of an exaggeration, to not make any kind of comparison would be a disservice in my mind. I see NNs as being closer to a mathematical model of neurons in a petri dish, it lacks the higher level framework that pieces everything together, but still accurately models a fundamental building block of the system to a certain extent.
When I was young, in college, I applied for a government job. I thought I could make some extra cash.

I went through the interview, was accepted as a candidate, and then ... nothing. So I:

* graduated

* started working on the field

* moved 1/2 way across the country

* worked for 2 more years

And, a total of 3+ years later, was called and told that "Congratulations, your name is now at the top of the list, and we have an opening. You're hired!"

I was completely baffled, and told them I had another job... naturally! (this confused person on the other end of the phone?!). And yet after asking around.. this was normal.

Governments do have a different role, being part of the public trust. But still, a very strange world.

I thought of that too. I think at this point most researches don't have much respect for him. If you listen to him or read his book, he sure likes to take credit for a lot stuff and make large claims about revolutionizing science and such. "I discovered this, I did that, etc...". So I can't blame others for avoiding mentioning him and just pretending he doesn't exist.

At the same time this comes from a math background while Wolfram sort of bases his theory on cellular automata with rules, cells, Turing Machines etc.

This +100. Sundar has been a competent "steward" but clearly he isn't the visionary the company needs nor shareholders expect.

Just look at Google's recent failures or inability to thwart competitors, despite its massive scale and resources:

- YouTube Short: took too long (4+ years) to launch against TikTok

- Meet: lacked feature parity to Zoom despite the perfect market condition

- Stadia: telegraphed its intention (Project Stream) 5 years early and lacked conviction

- ChatGPT: caught flat-footed and playing catch-up for 2+ years now

It's surprising that he hasn't been fired by the board already.

That gets to the clear difference between Japanese culture and US culture.

Given the restrictions on certain Chinese routers, it makes sense to consider the security implications of having millions of cars on the road, running software from state-affiliated foreign companies. This would apply no matter what country they're from, but is especially relevant where there are geopolitical tensions.

What we really need is to require all cars to have an "airplane mode" where it is running fully offline. No tracking, no voice assistant, nothing remote. I would use this all the time, and its presence would make me more likely to purchase a vehicle from that company.

I wonder if AI could help us with the problem of how life started. Either through simulation or some extension of existing programs like the ones used for drug discovery and protein folding.

My first job was in Ada and by then our customer put a clause allowing C to be introduced where it Ada was difficult to introduced. In our case the Issues with Ada was the poor support of the Ada compiler vendor. The kind of granularity on type definitions in Ada is superb. The type checking was slow. A type can be defined with the number of bits and the range during declaration which makes compilation slow.
Standard results omitting tedious derivations is a standard practice in all educational material of upper level physics. "Derivation left to reader", etc. I personally greatly enjoy the fact that i get to decide how much detail i want. I can get the gist, a moderate exploration, or a deep dive if i have the time. Keep in mind, this person did not have to make this resource, and if you don't like it you don't have to read it. I greatly appreciate a breadth of resources when learning a topic and this is an amazing addition to my learning resources. If you absolutelyneed every single detail of every single assertion then look it up, but i can never expect a human doing this in their free time as a free gift to write dozens of textbooks about every facet of physics. Keeping every single detail in would make these prohibitively time consuming to create in a way that i don't think a free resource could support

It's actually many, many genes that are overexpressed and result in the Down syndrome phenotype. My work is with adults with DS and Alzheimer disease--in this case, triplication of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene on chromosome 21 nearly guarantees accelerated development of cerebral amyloid deposition compared to typically developing people. But that's just a miniscule part of the Down syndrome phenotype.
Turbocharging CRISPR to understand how the immune system fights cancer
Ah that explains a lot. Especially the feel I've always had about it being "change for the sake of change". There was a time when I actually tried to use it for real, I bought a used Surface Pro 3 and traveled with it, so the touch-based UI actually made sense. I wonder if that fear was realistic though. Though I have to admit MS at that time (under Ballmer) was really hostile to Linux.

Edit: The point made in that article seems to be disproven though: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39493246 . Even Miguel de Icaza said it's nonsense. Can't get more authoritative on Gnome than that.

But it was just too weird with the workspaces on the fly, the huge window decorations (despite touch I would mainly use the pen anyway) and the lack of a real launcher. I used it for about 3 months and got rid of it. It just rubbed me the wrong way constantly and I really couldn't stand the designers' attitude, every time I wanted to change something I ended up googling it and finding some excuse from the devs on why they wouldn't account for it (usually along the lines of "you shouldn't want/need that").

What didn't help was that Linux on the Surface Pro 3 was a huge PITA also. Often the keyboard wouldn't work after having been disconnected, or the pen would stop working, or it would turn on in my bag for some weird reason and be boiling hot, or it would fail to pick up the ethernet of the dock etc. Most of these issues were solved by a reboot but I ended up rebooting a lot to solve all these stupid random problems and I really got sick of that.

But the "Weirdness" of Gnome 3 didn't help. I have a lot of opinions on how stuff must work and tried modifying gnome with plugins to make it work that way, and that led to a lot of issues when updates came out and the plugins weren't updated. Opinionated software just isn't for me. I want options. Lots and lots of options :)

Eventually I moved back to a desktop and gave KDE another try (the last time was in the KDE 4 period and I didn't like it) and it felt like a breath of fresh air. Everything I wanted to change about the default UI had an option in there somewhere to do it. It felt like the developers were reading my mind and pre-empted every wish :3 I've always cherished software packages like that.

And it only kept getting better and better with things like accent colours in the anniversary update. I use a lot of my own theming as well for both my DE and web apps and KDE is really great for that. I was actually planning to make a real theme myself but it's so configurable now that I can really make it pretty much like I want with just some configuration clicks.

I donate monthly to KDE now just because I want them to continue this great work and philosophy.

|If it ever came to market, an Apple car was likely to cost at least $100,000 and still generate razor-thin profit compared with smartphones and earbuds.

I simply dont get this point. i believe they tried to go with a traditional automaker to get over the traditional design issues and manufacturing issues, even with that, a $100000 car would be a lot harder to chew without a steering.

I knew Tesaa went this way because , they didn't have the bank to break, but Apple had like $150 billion. even if they are just scratching the surface of ultra premium market, Did they tried to do all at once and failed?

Cant they simply buy a EV maker (like rivian as munster suggested) and do what they do best?!

It’s super easy actually. You can just send the warrant (via a pdf) to apples security portal. That’s it, they verify and then email back the info encrypted. They then email a decryption key a few days later.

This process is used all the time. Facebook/ Meta has an easy law enforcement portal that does the same thing (same for Snapchat, etc).

If anything they would use parallel construction and setup pretend documentation on old school investigation… they would want to hide that all these crimes are essentially solved via easy to access phone data.

You can speculate about such factors, but the House popular vote tends to line up pretty well with opinion polling of the "generic Congressional ballot"--which is a nationwide measure that isn't affected by gerrymandering.
