Despite being a young person in tech, I find myself totally at a loss when presented with an iPhone. I gave one a try a few weeks ago (went with a Galaxy instead) and my fiancée had to walk me through in baby steps.

Android apps tend to be decent about giving a little tutorial when they open, highlighting buttons with little blurbs explaining their use. Is this a trend with iOS?
Was it one of these?

I think he answers the second point of "not every company can be a Google" though. He says this will get you to the point where your company could be a Google, but makes no promises that it will be one.

I agree with the first point. I do think that the experience would nonetheless be valuable, though, to pilot a failed company.

Once a road hits a certain density of vehicles, the only way to fit more vehicles on the road is to close the gaps between the vehicles.

One cannot realistically expect urban regions to have drivers that leave large spaces of road empty, it wouldn’t back up the congestion even further onto other roads.

It’s especially exacerbated because all vehicles and drivers have different reaction times and acceleration, so it’s inevitable that gaps will increase and decrease. Taking advantage of the gaps actually increases the road’s throughput, and is a sufficient tradeoff to risk and energy efficiency for almost all drivers worldwide.

For those lamenting the loss of manual transmissions in cars, have you tried motorcycling? Motorcycling: for when you want to beat a Lambo on a $19k motorcycle in a quarter mile race :)

But seriously, they are a great second vehicle to have, or even main vehicle depending on where you live. They are simpler than cars and you can work on them using basic hand tools easily enough. They are cheap and good on gas. And they are just really really fun.
> (Honda's ICE as Generator approach leads to 100% ICE on the highways).

Well, it's 100% when load is between zero and a reasonable maximum torque at the fixed gear ratio. If you lift, the engine shuts off, and if you command significant acceleration, the engine will revert back to generator duties.

Honda's system has an advantage on the highway too -- because no motor ever spins faster than the output drive motor, there is no speed ceiling at which the engine must run to prevent either MGs from overspinning. You can take a Honda hybrid to the speed limiter, lift the throttle, and it will go into EV mode immediately. This is nice in areas where you might end up coasting a lot on the highway because you can get some time with the engine off, even at highway speeds.

If people are just selecting high IQ applicants for the sake of them being high IQ applicants, then I think we can all agree they're doing it wrong regardless of our other opinions about IQ.

Presumably, companies that value a high IQ do so because they think it's an indicator of ability. But perhaps I'm wrong here. What other reason could they have?

Most networked printers support Postscript, it's not a special feature like it used to be.

Sure, cheap USB inkjets usually don't, but with how cheap entry level networked lasers have been for the last decade or two there's no good reason to buy one of those things. They may be cheaper up front but within a few years the ink alone will make the difference.

It’s wildly pessimistic, Artemis 1 went just fine and Artemis 2 is basically the same except with people on board able to look at the moon. Having people flying around in space is something we've done constantly since the first moon landing and adding a big rocket and fuel to get to the moon isn't a huge leap.

Now 3 when they need to land is a bigger risk. It running into issues is slightly more believable, they could abort the landing while still flying etc.
Very Cool and interesting
FYSA, manuals can come in wet and dry clutch arrangements. Most manual cars/trucks use dry clutches outside the transmission but most modern motorcycles use a "wet" clutch with the entire transmission/clutch bathed in the engine oil. Doing so saves weight/complexity and keeps everything more rigid. This is also why you can smell a burning clutch plate on a car but not on a motorcycle. But if you ever hear a Ducati motorcycle that sounds odd at idle, sounding like it is broken, that sound may be because Ducati is one of the few major brands that used external "dry" clutches.

Why? More compute helps with fluid dynamics, particle physics, plasma control, and material science. Can't imagine it hurts.
There’s an argument that communication which is internal is still communication, and that a language of trajectories required for coordination is still linguistic in a meaningful sense. Most of the ways to differentiate thought from language are probably going to end up splitting hairs. It all comes back to Wittgenstein, and it’s arguable whether the POV is useful, but it’s certainly coherent and defensible.
It unfortunately is the ICE rpms fluctuating.

Have you ever actually tried that? I have. It's possible with some router, but IIRC I had to install some custom config file from some random site. Definitely wasn't easy. I think with most routers it isn't possible at all.

If you're imagining you just forward the port to your computers IP address... no that doesn't work. Because while your computer is asleep it doesn't have an IP address. What you need to do is configure the router to forward broadcast packets to the local subnet. Something like that anyway, I can't remember the exact details.
It's not that clear why they are downsampling and then upsampling again. Why not do all the work at the original resolution?

Bonus: No more dealing with the Apple cable to the MagSafe 1 plug that inevitably lost its sheathing and exposed wires within a year.

This is definitely one of the reasons I wrote this article. To be able to see the cause/effect when a problem is very convoluted is something difficult to learn and difficult to teach. You just have to consume a lot of second hand stories and experience a few yourself.

Why will LLMs make things more efficient?

As I see it, LLMs have the potential to either reduce the amount of "bullshit jobs/tasks", reduce the amount of time programmers spend on boilerplate, etc.

But those inefficiencies are 95% human made, on purpose. Bullshit tasks are made up because middle managers want more underlings. Languages/frameworks with lots of boilerplate exist because companies would rather hire fifty average programmers rather than ten brilliant ones.

Even if LLMs have the potential to make these things more efficient, the people holding the money bags don't want the inefficiencies removed.

Consider influencers. What they post on social media could 100% be replaced by the outputs of LLMs and diffusion models. It would be vastly more efficient for companies to advertise their products by creating text and images about a pretty person using their products in an exotic location, than to pay for airplane tickets and hotels and salary for an influencer. Yet we don't see even a hint of the "influencer revenue crisis" that this would cause.

I did something similar recently.

I wanted to wake my laptop via wifi. There's no way to do it using WoL with the laptop's wifi card.

For some reason the laptop's wifi card won't be powered during sleep or never responds to WoL packets, but the USB port is powered during sleep.

I got an ESP32-S3 which has built-in USB. I cobbled together the examples from the ESP-IDF framework. Using one wifi example I got the ESP32 to detect WoL packets sent to it, and the other example was the USB HID example that acts like a mouse and moves the cursor around.

So now I can send a WoL request to the ESP32, and it will then "move the mouse" and wake the laptop. It worked like a charm and only took me about 2 evenings to put together.
Mostly agreed - I think the one difference is that to disable the pin, you have to modify and sideload the APK, which a non-rooted phone may not permit you to do. (Or your modified apk might not have access to the app's local data, security keys, etc).

In contrast, with a non-pinned app, you can monitor traffic of that app as it is installed right now.

I didn't downvote (I don't think I even have the reputation to do that), but it's probably because you're advocating something that takes more energy but doesn't make the situation any better.

Getting into open source work or working for a startup for free means doing more work for absolutely 0 compensation, some percentage of which will still be drudgery and annoying tech debt, while still wasting 40 hours a week doing something the OP hates. The chances are almost 0 that this helps the OP in any way.

Putting that same energy towards getting a new job or learning - which could involve some amount of open source work but isn't pointlessly pouring time down the drain for someone else's benefit - or therapy or exercise or almost anything else, is more likely to be beneficial.

Just like the article, you really have to correct for outliers to make PPP work. It's more of a "rule of thumb" that you can use to determine if something is, as you said, a bargain worth getting even if it is outside your main area.

Bricklink's "part out" tool is more accurate, but some pieces get priced "wrong" and you have to know enough to determine that.

The 10R80 in the F-150 has known problems, while the ZF8 is one of the best transmissions currently made. It's also used in BMWs, the Toyota Supra, and the new Ineos Grenadier. Having driven it, my only issue was that it was slow to switch from deceleration/engine braking mode to acceleration mode. That programming allows it to feel more like a manual when you let off the gas, but it takes a good fraction of a second to switch between them.

And yet they clearly don't, since a quarter of high schoolers were consistently failing to graduate before this trend of lowering standards started.

We've structured a large part of society to care about whether you have a diploma and not whether you've actually learned something, so it's no surprise that education systems are prioritizing the former over the latter.

Seriously, what else do you do when withholding a low-performing student's high school diploma will very likely kneecap their professional career? They don't learn a lesson when they fail out of high school, they just go get a dead-end job and stay in it forever (obviously I am generalizing a lot here, and there are plenty of exceptions). Giving them their diploma anyway at least gives a better shot of success to students who were academically failed by the education system or don't learn well in such an environment but would still be decent employees if given a chance. The rest aren't going to be materially impacted by it.
Thanks for the honest reply, rewriting a lot and missing the tone might come across weird is definitely a plausible explanation. And I really am glad you avoided the bad supervisor: I've chosen thesis advisor based on what seemed the coolest rather than carefully vetting them for capability and it cost me more than a year to recover after the crash and do a completely new thesis. That said I also chose a supervisor based on the "well, they offer" principle and it's worked out ok so far.

I get what you say about particle physicists viewing applied fields as lesser, that's a zoom in on xkcd:435, which especially in a school with emphasis on "fundamental research" will also mirror the allocation of resources.

But globally particle physics isn't the dominant actor budget wise: there was a fight in the US in the late 80's early 90's and they lost, which is why the Superconducting Super Colliders was cancelled. It's just not so obvious because applied fields usually don't need to build as big things as HEP and so don't need to concentrate the entire field in one experiment.
