I'm strongly believe sooner or rather later GPS/GNSS will be considered human right since the areas where their signals are mostly devoid of them are intentionally devoid by the prepetrators.

Currently I am working for a new wireless PHY technique that is more secure and robust against jamming, and also the first that able to propagate with limited non line of sight (NLoS). Hopefully soon we can overcome this anti human GPS/GNSS jamming shenanigans.

For an excellent example for anti jamming secure wireless network for GPS (not my work) please check this thesis by Cara Yang Kataria [1]. She is currently working at the infamous MIT Lincoln Laboratory.

But of course this approach has a downside - I could be teaching valuable programming skills to a person who will just use them to automate their scamming operation.

Exactly; I'm sure that in many cases the people who taught them English had similar hopes.

Agreed. I only tolerate reddit (for now) because it's always been better than Twitter/X and the alternatives haven't matured yet.
Come on. It's disingenuous to compare an obvious scam like cryptocurrency with a pension. The levels of risk are orders of magnitude different. And in the USA at least, most pensions are insured by the PBGC so they can't literally go to zero even if the sponsoring company fails.
Google's also being sued for their antitrust actions, so they're not above reproach here either.
>Sure RCS might make that better (I’m skeptical — standards support in the Android ecosystem is very inconsistent and varying in quality)

Maybe, but my old mom and her old Huawei phone works with zero problems with my brand new OnePlus and whatever mix of phones her friends have. All of them on RCS. The only one that has a problem is a friend with an iPhone that cannot receive images in the size everyone else shares them in. No-one here uses zuckerware - it is all SMS (IE. all RCS except for the few that likes old style Nokias so they get it as a SMS).

Tis how to grow your own food – with or without a garden
Because:

1) It's a poorly defined word that means different things to different people

2) The word "mechanism" perfectly describes what it is

At the end of the day it's just using the detection of food, to switch from "tumble" (try a random direction to find food) to "run" (assume we're near, or in, a patch of food, and move forward to consume more).
I think the problem is uniformity in social groups. Everyone who has an iPhone gets iMessage and it's a seamless experience because it's the messaging app you have on the phone. Google was so poorly organized over its messaging solution that it couldn't push anything by default. Even if your social group is made up of a bunch of Android users, they all have the messaging app they want to use: WhatsApp, Hangouts, Telegram, Signal, etc. Very few people are willing to change because they have their own network of people who have decided on their preference.

RCS is a good idea (sort of), but it's too late. I suspect that Apple moving to Support RCS will make very little difference in terms of messaging solutions, when all is said and done.

I remember thinking I’d like to pick up react for some changes we were planning at work. I spent a weekend with Road to React making a simple web app. I was amazed how overly complicated it seemed and that I was being told “there’s no DSL” but JSX sure seemed like one. I’m a moron and not some special coder so maybe that’s why. I was also using rails 6 at work at the time, but 7 seems to have eliminated any need we thought were were going to have for react so that’s been nice.

Each person that I’ve come across who likes react is super smart and I can’t follow what they are trying to say is so great. So maybe don’t listen to me anyway.
And I think that's a great idea, but I think there has been no sign the DoJ plans to do that.
The base plan for iCloud+ is 99 cents a month and the next tier is $2.99, they're pretty reasonable about these services.

Shameless plug: But these types of areas of research (what types of problems can quantum computers solve and when) has been a big focus of our open-source Q# effort lately. You can see our last two blog posts (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/qsharp/) are about the resource estimation features we've recently built for exactly this purpose. You can give them a try pretty easily in VS Code or just in the browser (https://aka.ms/AQ/RE/Docs)

Disclaimer: I work on the Q# project (https://github.com/microsoft/qsharp) in a team under Matthias Troyer (quoted in the article).

Entirely personal option: I do think tempering some of the hype of the past few years/decades and focusing on the areas of highest potential is in general a good thing. Progress hasn't been what some optimists had hoped for, but hardware has been progressing quite quickly & consistently for years now, and I'm confident we'll get there eventually.
I am pretty sure the bots are posting rage/echo chamber posts (not sure if it is for karma or a narrative). Look at a group like "fluentinfiance" where all the posts are the same. In groups like "AITAH" they posts are all so crazy they cannot be real.

Not sure how reddit is going to deal with this or if they even have to but main groups of reddit are impossible to trust.
It is absolutely a tax. The "cost" you pay upfront, the hundred dollar annual membership cost. Though even that could be considered a tax and not a "cost", because without it you can't even write software and deploy it on your own devices.
Hell yeah, thank you for your support!
With the advent of AI agents, I expect my taxes to be completely automated with only pictures of my W-2 and other input documents. Taxes are so tedious but also extremely rule-driven, a perfect match for AI systems.
This works well, although there is a few seconds delay of freezing and black screen.

One of the most popular issues is when the user is using the app (text editing) and then they toggle dark mode from the status bar, not necessarily leaving the app, causing the app to lose context in native or restart in Flutter.

This isn't an issue on all other platforms including iOS, and it's heavily used by many users.

I guess one of the solutions is to add a dark mode button that is visible all the time inside the app.

Android delays dark mode if enabled automatically after locking the screen.

I try some LLM on my notes and well... They was unable to give me insights that are hard to spot, like follow the flaw of notes identifying patterns, find similar notes from the past and so on. In ALL cases classic tags/riprgrep full-text search was far quicker and equally or more effective.

Long story short: LLMs might be useful on hyper big mass of information, like a new kind of search engine that try do achieve a semantic goal mimicking it. But not more than that IMVHO. Marginally LLMs might help computer-illiterate to manage their files, seen https://www.theverge.com/22684730/students-file-folder-direc... but I doubt they can go any further for the next 5+ years at least.

This seems to have more to do with population growth projections over the very long run rather than anything that's actually going on in Congress right now.

Bottom line, our taxes need to go up modestly in the coming decades... but only if these assumptions actually prove to be true:

> Inflation slows through 2026 to a rate that is consistent with the Federal Reserve’s long-term goal of 2 percent and then remains at rates that are consistent with that goal from 2026 to 2054.

> Interest rates generally rise over the next three decades, largely as a result of projected increases in federal borrowing and in capital income as a share of total income.

... I doubt it! Look what happens to interest rates in graying countries like Japan.
The reason we believe in time invariance of the laws of physics is based on observation of old structures in the universe (at least we only have to look back about 4 billion years to the beginning of evolution on earth). So far we have not found any convincing evidence that the laws have changed (either new or different interactions, or the strength of the interactions).

I will say all of science is based on faith- the faith that the human mind can perceive the universe as it truly is, using rational thought and experimental data collection. For some reason this really bothers some scientists and they like to treat science as an unquestionable objective truth, but realistically, we can't exclude any number of hypotheses, but merely state them as improbable based on our understanding.
I wonder if a fine for not paying an entry fee counts as a debt...
There's another reason, too. It's not at all rare for a position to have multiple applicants that are all pretty much equally good, and yet only one will get the job.

What can you honestly say to the others that doesn't sound like BS? In that sort of situation, the honest answer for why one person got the job and not the others is that one person just got lucky.
It's still true. You might be able to get decent performance on a Macbook 3000 (doubtful even) but anything less than that, nope. That's why many grid components use canvas rendering. It would have been a lot easier for all these grid devs to work with DOM nodes if they could.

Could you show us an experiment that would demonstrate creationism is a better explanation than evolution (and random chance) for the formation of cells? If you can't come up with an actual experiment, there's really no way to say that creationism "explains" something.

Antirez is the same guy that used to claim he was NEVER going to set foot in the US as a form of protest against imperialism, death penalty and stuff like that… when he was no one and had little to lose from that.

Then came redis, and that position on setting foot in the US changed, with some adequate mental gymnastics, now that money was on the table.

Then “redis will remain bsd licensed”.

Now the money on the table is seriously at risk, and redis is not bsd anymore.

I don’t really blame antirez for his hypocrisy, i would have probably done the same.

I just dislike this shallow virtue signalling, so bland and so easily bought.
Thank you so much! We computed TAM the best way: bottom's up! We estimated the number of current musicians, the number of people we could convert into musicians, and the annual subscription price, and then we used this to compute our total TAM.

The vast majority of PR/commit messages I see (approaching 100%) are basically a JIRA ticket number and the name of the ticket, and that message is used over and over again for multiple commits under that same ticket. I'm not sure Copilot could do any worse.

Debates on the nature of artificial general intelligence
No, you're just confusing macroscopic level of degradation (the whole structure degrades) and microscopic degradation (molecules are being degraded).

The problem with plastic is that while the macroscopic structure can be altered in just a few years (depending on the conditions), the resulting parts aren't being metabolized away by micro-organisms and they remain as small plastic chunks, and then micro-plastic, then nano plastic, until they eventually break down entirely after decades, which is very unlike what happens with what we call biodegradable materials.
Thanks for the summary. My "Open Apple" wishlist includes:

• Allowing alternate web browser implementations, including alternate Javascript and WebAssembly implementations.

• Which would include third party developer access to the memory allocation/permissions API used for JIT compilers. Make iOS a first class ARM development OS. Please.

Perhaps removing restrictions to general APIs for competitive apps and "Super apps" would implicitly include those changes?

Interesting that this doesn't address Apple's iOS "taxation" of tangential non-web transactions, or the lack of App Store alternatives. If Apple has monopoly power, those seem like suitable concerns.

Fair enough. But why quibble over a couple of years? The point is that the amount of division we have going on now isn't unprecedented. Lots of people have the last time in their living memory.
> Hardware limitations that were told at launch.

Sure, but still silly that even an 8 year old Dell can drive 3 monitors without issue. And clearly, the hardware CAN do it since attaching it to a DisplayLink dock and adding a driver works. Fundamentally, the GPU is capable of doing it.

> It works fine with my old Dell FHD and my current 4k LG.

Oh it definitely works, but using Chrome on Windows, everything is super crisp on the same exact monitor whereas there is a noticeable softness on macOS

> Different windows management model. You tab cycle through applications, and you backquote cycle through open windows. Minimized windows go to the dock.

Yeah, an inferior one. The minimized windows go to the dock and are inaccessible by keyboard. This is clearly a flaw.

> I understand the OS not wanting to interfere much with that.

I'd argue that, you know, the purpose of the graphical user interface system in an OS in the context of UX at a very fundamental level is managing windowing.

> I've not seen your code so I can't say much. But most people who complain about Safari really want Chrome's non-standard API to exists in Safari too.

Works fine in Firefox and it's just using Vite PWA; really basic, standard PWA templates. Nothing special.

It should also be banned from AI training data sets. Good luck to anyone trying to train an AI!

As far as I can tell, GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 are extremely aggressive about making up features of widely used software that don’t actually exist. I lost count of how many tables and columns in MySQL’s INFORMATION_SCHEMA they made up for me yesterday, often complete with elaborate SQL commands to query them.

The next generation of models will train on this crap.

There’s probably some organizational theory math formula out there for this kind of thing right?

Like given a certain size company one can assume number of direct reports per mgr, number of mgrs per Director, etc. I think Google is known to run pretty flat compared to other types of organizations but those numbers sound about right. I would imagine there are varying titles like junior, senior and maybe principal Manager/Director/VP too.

Edit to add: is this like an interview question like how many manhole covers are in Seattle type of thing?
Shouldn't that be other way around? Keycard only holding the simple numeric id, which is burned into silicone chip on it and impossible to modify, and the reader at the door, connected to hotel central system checks what privileges that particular keycard grants?

What Is Webb Observing?
Typically, formatting plain text documents that aren't source code. I also want to use the tab key to make a tab character, though. I suppose that I could reprogram the tab key so that holding it down repeats spaces, but that's straying too far afield for my tastes.

I can see how this scheme would be excellent for some, but for me, I'm pretty sure that I'd be happier making the fn key something else.
The security implications would be interesting, unless you tainted the canvas (which makes it instantly less useful).
This is some EU-smelling shite.
Is it implied anywhere? That's a feature I'd love and also why I haven't bothered delving into LLMs very much; I didn't know there were any that could locally index your library and train on that data. I'd love to ask it a question and have it reference my local ebook library.
I’m all for your device = your control, and I mean your.

But allowing software vendors to ignore AppStore will eventually lead to my bank apps, local maps apps, delivery apps etc to go non-AppStore-only route and do whatever they want on my phone, because I have no alternative (except for not using my phone). The first thing one of my bank apps did on my android phone was to install some sort of an “antivirus firewall” which abused every access and semi-exploit to make sure I’m “safe”.

Your ideas will affect me, and I can’t see why your (and my) inconvenience is more important than my security. It’s not just “better”. I’m asking to consider this perspective as well.
