It’s important to understand why we think the bones are over 6,000 years old, and especially consider what assumptions we make in determining that age. Most importantly, the time invariance of physics.

Really it boils down to whether you believe the laws of physics we observe now have been constant throughout time. If you do you’re called an evolutionist, if you don’t you’re called a creationist. Neither side has any proof, nor is any proof fundamentally possible.
Unfortunately, yes. A throw away quote at the bottom of one of the many articles during the API protest that was ignored by most:

“I would like subreddits to be able to be businesses if they choose,” Huffman said, adding that’s “another conversation, but I think that’s the next frontier of Reddit.”

Edit: here is the story. I changed "he" to "Huffman" since I took the quote out of context of the full story. It's way down almost at the end. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/reddit-protest-blacko...
> Interesting, I've had 2 Garmin Smart Watches and never felt like Apple was restricting them.

Apple block Garmin watches from replying to text messages as they do on Android for example.

Only Apple Watches are allowed to do that.

I also note that iOS regularly tries to nag me into blocking Garmin Connect from sending notifications to my watch.

Ostensibly that’s to preserve battery life but they don’t do that for their own watches either.
> what if we just generate all products from the set of numbers 2:n and exclude those as "not prime" from all the numbers up to n?

It's fun to translate terse APL to somewhat terse numpy. The result still can be very compact and you can parse it easily if you're used to looking at numpy:

s = arange(2, 50); p = outer(s, s).ravel(); sorted(set(s) - set(p))
Anybody else feel like you enjoy the feeling of "having had done a thing" more than doing the thing?
Yeah the new new UI makes the old new UI seem awesome in comparison. I didn't actually mind the old new UI too much.
You should always be aligned to the revenue mission of the company. The mission is to earn money AND enhance the reputation of the company.

Scenario 1:

My first job out of college was developing automated pretty HTML for emails for this marketing company in the hospitality industry. It was still start-upish at that time, so the business was centered around account management and business relations. I was hired to be a developer, so I found problems to solve. When those solutions saved business relationships I could walk on water. I got good at task lists and account management even though account management was handled elsewhere.

Scenario 2:

I once did cyber defense for the US Army back before Army cyber was a thing. I started getting pretty good at it until I was promoted out of that organization into a logistics organization. All that cyber expertise didn't matter so much anymore, I had to be a manager in a group that different things. I was basically a people manager of a help desk plus other stuff. In order to protect my staff I had to learn logistics. I had to know how to do other people's jobs so that I could push back with better answers when leadership made decisions or other managers tried to poach my people. I have now been in logistics long enough I know the management of logistics operations better than many of the logistics managers even though I am just the IT guy. This provides me a lot of pull.

Scenario 3:

I spent a lot of time as a developer in the online travel agency space. I learned a lot about the retail side of e-commerce and the behavior of travel planning. As a junior developer I was promoted to a senior in about 2 years because I the A/B test guy for this major .com brand. I learned to master DOM traversal without abstraction layers so I could write tests really fast that did amazing things and were often more durable than the actual real code later released to production. Because I had also learned the business of e-commerce and the travel industry I could also design better tests and than many of the business owners recommended. So long as velocity, durability, and quality of test remained high I could walk on water.
Have you tried Typst? It's like a modern version of LaTeX and allows to generate nice looking documents quickly. Can be called from the console and makes it easy to create templates and import resources like images, fonts and data (csv, json, toml, yaml, raw files, ...). Of course it is its own language instead of HTML/CSS but so far I found it quite pleasant to use.
Depends on how you use the devices. For many or most users, it's possible they are nearly equivalent. For some, iOS does offer things Android does not. Media creators get access to different kinds of software on iOS than on Android, similar to certain software that is only on macOS. It can make a difference to that sort of userbase. Similar to how if you are into gaming, other desktop platforms are better than macOS. There are also some aspects of the underlying technology that in practice can make a difference. CoreAudio on iOS blows Android out of the water, and the huge ecosystem of electronic music creation software for that platform is very different than what you get with Android.
Evil pays well in the short term. Reddit has been squeezing users and making their app unusable for quite some time. Lack of competent alternative and the difficulty of "porting" the data already there is all that's keeping it up. Still, they'll probably just try to buy any competition.

Note: they don't even let you escape the reddit app browser for external links anymore - no copying url (or any page content/links), no "open in external browser". Absolute pure evil UX.
Rather the same here.

A month or two after my main account was banned (see my other post in this thread), I logged into a second account which I'd not logged into for months.

Upon logging in, I discovered the account was "permanently suspended", and the reason for this was, and I quote;

"Your account has been permanently suspended for ."
I'm uninterested inasfar as her having a reddit profile and posting things. I'm much more interested as to why reddit inc refuses to answer the simple quandary that many people have as to if she was behind the account in question or not.

They more or less Streisand'd the conspiracy into plausibility by doing so, which is generally a bad idea. That's the reason I included it.
You seem to totally misunderstand the whole concept of what the competition law is about.

It's not about whether people can choose not to buy an iPhone, really at all. It's about once they do choose iPhone, is Apple unfairly using their control of the platform to influence whether they choose Apple's product vs a competitor for future things they buy.
It sounds like you can implement this by hosting your photos on a server with password access. You don't even need google for this.
Kudos to the developer for sharing this impressive personal knowledge base project! I love seeing the passion and technical creativity of this community. Experimenting with tools for surfacing serendipitous insights and connecting ideas is what moves us forward. Keep up the great work - I look forward to seeing how you evolve and refine this system further!

--word-diff-regex=<regex>

... A match that contains a newline is silently truncated(!) at the newline.

If I understand this correctly, if you use newlines inside a sentence (if you are writing a fixed width document, for example), this won't work.

An exceptional author, A Fire Upon the Deep was his very best IMHO, and chapter 4 its best: https://www.baen.com/Chapters/-0812515285/0812515285___4.htm

A sensational adventure story, with the particular science-fiction skill of communicating strangeness, effortlessly.
No, it's in the second book actually, (spoiler alert) which covers the time in which Paul's rule has been firmly developed following his enormously bloody jihad across the Empire, and the time after his death, after which his son Leto succeeds hims and lets himself be symbiotically covered in baby sandworms to turn into the eventual god emperor of the Imperium, ruling for 3000 years. (If I remember correctly)
Horseshoe theory, but it is actually a circle.
Most browsers don’t have a rendering engine unique to them. Apple made that a policy for iPhones and its derivatives, but a browser is more than its rendering engine.
This is objectively false. Evolution explains absolutely nothing creationism doesn’t, and creationism explains a whole lot that evolution cannot. For instance, universal origins and the formation of cells.

Interesting that while the arch linux the package weighs in a 7MB, it extracts to 80MB installed, and the `difft` binary is a whole 78MB. On a ZFS dataset with LZ4 compression du says it's 17MB. I wonder why not just compress whatever is so compressible in the binary? It would probably even load faster to decompress it in ram.

iOS apps to use on the iPhone. If you want an app on the iPhone, you have to go through the App Store unless you make it a PWA which is not suitable for a lot of use cases. You can’t run Android Apps on the iPhone and there’s no alternative App Store.
Well, the more serious decrees (such as demolition of churches to punish Christian groups) didn't happen[0], so by extension we can assume that the much more minor ones weren't likely enforced either.

But yeah to call it all rosy is definitely rewriting history. All Abrahamic faiths are hyper-aggressive and whenever we've seen politicization of one we see the suffering of other faiths. Of course on differing degrees as different leaderships and empires came and went.

[0] Almost all of these churches were eventually destroyed/taken over later, sometimes centuries later, but not during his lifetime.

Thanks. I've tried using Satori but I'm curious if you've used it to draw graphs specifically. E.g. Satori expects JSX / doesn't support HTML strings from d3-node with dangerouslySetInnerHTML.
Computer vs phone definitely changes the point.

The iPhone is a computer, but unlike past computers it introduced a walled-garden App Store.

Also, software on phones before the iPhone was also gate-kept by carriers. Apple was not maintaining the status quo. They were changing it for their benefit.
Yes.

These are the payments owed by plans.

As easy as downloading an app from the store and telling it which directory to work with.

If you need the AI features those require separate apps and depending on your deployment it might need some effort. I'm running a docker image and had to ensure I have some of the required libraries for the AI things to work. It isn't too hard to misconfigure though and I believe there's a decent amount of resources for this.

As for mobile app, there isn't an explicit one but the webapp interface is mobile friendly and works pretty well. I also use NC photos and it still works with the tags and face recognition things. That app doesn't require "Memories" as far as I know.
It's worse, everyone jumped from Angular to the React bandwagon. I use these types of things as litmus tests for if I want to join a new company/team. No sense in cussing under my breath all day every day. It's really hard to smile after you just invented a new vulgar phrase to describe mangled tech.
I will take whatever is the most stable. I don't need a lot of feature, just a timeline and gallery with albums. Immich fits it for now, but it is way too focused on piling features and is bleeding edge. I hope memories has stability as its goal.
It most certainly is. Evolutionists believe in the time invariance of the laws of physics with no proof, creationists believe the processes by why things have changed in the universe (“physics”, broadly) have changed over time, also with no proof. That there is some external influence that we cannot directly observe that has some massive impact on the development of the universe in ways we cannot explain.

(Funnily, physics have come to acknowledge the same, but they call it dark matter and say it’s all very scientific, whatever it is. But this is unknown enough to be not worth much discussion.)

Regarding the evolution we see around us all the time, I and many creationists besides me have full confidence in the idea that micro-evolution does occur. That there is a stochastic gradient decent process that hones in on time-varying local maxima over generations cannot really be denied. But that provides absolutely no answer to the questions of abiogenesis and speciation en-masse.

No, you get a boatload of money and other semi-liquid wealth.

>I would gladly work on a farm

Good for you, many would not and still be forced to. How do you think feudalism operated, just taking the people who would have gladly worked?

> I would gladly give up my

Again, good for you. Many would not, and guess what? they would be force to anyway. What about something you would not be glad to give up?

> My aim is to abolish most factories and just live off the land.

Sure, as long as you can't force everyone to follow you.
Let's say that a movie theatre chain becomes very successful by selling high-quality food instead of stale popcorn laden with artificial butter flavoring. They also curate movies and refuse to screen low-brow garbage pushed out by the studios. The customers love the good movies and good food, so this chain slowly takes over the market, nearly, but not quite, to a level of monopoly. You can still go to competing theatres, but the seats will be sticky, the food will clog your arteries, and you won't enjoy the movie.

So you're saying in this situation the government should step in and force the successful chain with standards to allow competing movie theatres, junk food sellers, and low-budget movie producers to sell their wares in their theatres?

That's literally what's happening with these moves against Apple.

The peddlers of crap are upset that they're locked out of a well-managed market frequented by discerning customers.

That's it.
> But... you don't get the new precision finding features.

https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10165/ appears to suggest differently.
The complex patchwork of regulations, languages and governments makes it harder for companies like ASML to attract global talent and expand seamlessly compared to the US or China. Perhaps Europe's diversity is a liability in the global competition for cutting-edge semiconductor technology.
> it was unclear how it could withstand the journey through the gut

Boy do I have great news for them about a group of people with a proclivity of putting their mouths where they shouldn't.
If the current trade-off is considered anticompetitive, there may be enough incentive to create a new model. Bell telephone offered free long distance calls on their network, the happiness of their customers didn't protect them when regulators started questioning how competitive Bell's strategy was.

Maybe it will negatively affect those who are happy with the status quo. That has no bearing on the righteousness of a person or company's actions, especially if they're in a position to deny competitors market access.
Appreciate this change. The ESM stuff is nightmarishly esoteric. Most recently I ran into ERR_REQUIRE_ESM while trying to write Playwright E2E tests that import from other packages in our monorepo.

I really think the way ESM was handled hurt Node.js a lot. Couple this with the introduction of TypeScript and complexity in the Node.js ecosystem skyrocketed. I've lost so many hours on this.

Thankfully libraries like esbuild exist (and by extension `tsx` which uses esbuild under the hood). https://github.com/privatenumber/tsx
RCS doesn't work well in practice. Android group chats happen on WhatsApp, not on RCS.
RFID just means radio frequency identification. It does not imply any particular standard. NFC can be a type of RFID system. Even saying NFC isn't necessarily implying any particular system of protection, basic NFC has no real protection out of the box and would require the higher-level protocols to actually provide any kind of encryption or relay protection or the like. An NFC-based system of RFID can also be incredibly insecure.

Saying "RFID is insecure, use NFC" is like saying "radio is insecure, use WiFi." NFC is a subset of the concept of RFID, much the same way WiFi is a subset of digital radio protocols.
It's so popular I've never seen anyone actually use the original.
> I don't feel smartphones are inherently problematic.

The point I was making is you can get the bits of smartphone functionality you want without the temptation of an actual smartphone. GPS and the web access exist on phones that are completely unable to interrupt your day with algorithmic feeds.

People still buy ancient phones like a Nokia 6300 because they do enough to be useful ie GPS. You can even swap to such a phone on your current cellphone plan for a camping trip without becoming totally unreachable.

That said, installing apps on a smartphones are almost required in some situations like cruse ships. Great web browsing, top of the line cameras, etc are just hard to beat as long as you can deal with the algorithmic time sinks.
From all the social medias, Reddit is the biggest echo chamber.

The voting system that glorifies posts that are voted by the community and hides posts that don't go with majority's opinion creates that one-sided effect.

I don't spend a lot of time on Reddit but whenever I do, I always see the most left-leaning naive takes being upvoted massively.
Reaction I: Given how many workers died during the construction of the Empire State Building, Hoover Dam, etc. - I'm thinking they probably have tailored their definition of "nuclear reactor accident" somewhat carefully, to push the first death all the way out to 1961.

> The Atomic Energy Commission instantly realized that the triple fatality could be enough to undermine the entire commercial nuclear enterprise [...] As part of the reactor’s startup procedure, they found, one of the operators had to manually lift the 48-pound central control rod about four inches so it could be connected to a mechanical driver which raised and lowered it into the core to control the nuclear chain reaction. For some reason, though, it looked as if Byrne had lifted the rod some twenty inches–almost all the way out of its channel. Without the control rod [...] the water coolant inside instantly flashed into steam, and the immense pressure tore apart the reactor. The steam explosion blasted Byrnes and McKinley against the cement walls, ejected the reactor head, and blew Legg, who had been doing some work atop the core, all the way up to the roof and impaled him there, while at the same time flooding the room with a lethal dose of radiation.

Reaction II: Whatever the CYA reactions of the AEC's bureaucrats, to me this sounds closely analogous to an old-fashioned steam boiler explosion. Which would have been an all-too-familiar type of industrial accident in 1961. So why not downplay it, with "wood-fired, coal-fired, oil-fired, or nuclear-fired - when the steam can reach over 1,000 degrees, a major mistake can result in fatal tragedy...". Appropriate to the mindset of the period, and only a Marketing Dept. idiot would imagine that "nuclear" could mean "never have any accidents".

>> in decades there will a vocal contingent of people lamenting the fact that we all run immutable Microsoft Kubernetes Ubuntu (MSKU) instead of using the more refined NixOS approach.

You are, unfortunately, correct. Some of us still run illumos Unix (SmartOS), but we are a tiny minority. I hope that things can work out so that something other than the lowest common denominator is accessible enough to also have a pervasive footprint.

A lot of very crummy ideas are popular in ways that would not have been imaginable 15 years ago.

>> or even an unsophisticated approach like a Dockerfile

In a handful of "higher end" on the salary side of DevOps/SRE roles I have done, I managed to quietly do things with flake.nix -- next time around I'll do them with Guix. I can get Guix container images going, that's not hard for me.

But yeah, doing things non-Docker isn't too hard for us DevOps ninjas (what DevOps was in 2012, not the watered down thing today).

After doing flake.nix, I managed to get written company policy ratified by our legal team that all container images must be binary reproducible. That probably fell apart since I left, unless the high quality CTO I was serving is still there.
That's another £30/month where I live (cheapest option). I get that they (the gov't) want to know where we live, but surely people downloading an app have no business knowing this? Or is it either pay £30/month or risk being murdered in your sleep? Is this the result of the mailbox industry lobbying the EU or something? I am being sarcastic of course, just a bit upset tbh
Is this a fork of "LM Studio"? The UI is suspiciously similar, even down to the layout of the labels.
That sounds like asking for trouble. Someone coming from any other programming language could easily forget that expression evaluation is stateful. Better to be explicit and create an object representing a expression. Tell me, at least, that the variable is immutable in that context?
Difftastic is great, but when I need to create patches I need to go back to good ol' diff...

I use https://www.typingmind.com/. It is paid, but I've found it to be a reliable front end to OpenAI/Claude/Google, supporting everything you mention. I haven't done any hyper detailed security audit but after watching network requests I'm pretty confident it's not sending my chats anywhere except to the relevant provider endpoints.

Considering how much I use it, I've found it to be well worth the cost. The creator is pretty on top of model/API changes.
