Modular devices aren't free in terms of engineering tradeoffs. Those interconnects to support modularity add their own unreliability (connectors that can fail more easily), weight (connectors) & increased size. Additionally, the connectors themselves have obsolescence anyway & at some point really expensive components start to be bottlenecks (e.g. upgrading the display uses a new connector or requires processing power/bandwidth that the CPU/RAM/GPU don't have etc). You see this in desktops where modularity is still fairly limited in terms of extending the lifespan of your machine - most people will buy a new computer anyway after 5 years vs trying to upgrade some components piecemeal because the new computer is cheaper / unit of performance than doing piecemeal upgrades.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_smartphone, the modularity of the FairPhone helps it live 5-7 years. Notably that's not different from the 6-8 years that an iPhone is supported for.

It's easy to blame it as planned obsolescence on the part of a single party instead of viewing it as a consequence of natural marketplace dynamics. You may of course adjust those dynamics by having the government impose a different set of constraints to have a different outcome. Politically that can be difficult though, especially in America, & it's not primarily because of the GDP but because people here generally distrust the government.

Good question! Grafana is often reached for as a solution here, but it has some limitations (Note: most of these limitations are completely logical when you think of Grafana's target use case, server and software monitoring):

- advanced transformations are impossible or at a minimum unwieldy, especially for users who are not comfortable in e.g. SQL

- not optimized for advanced HMI for complex systems that move through multiple states. Software systems like to decompose into smaller, modular systems... the physical world does not cater to these abstractions

- It focuses on real-time and recent data. Our customers want to pore over and compare data for years after it is recorded.

- Lack of vertical integration with our customers data sources
It IS grid, lvl 3. You can achieve it with:

display: grid;

grid-template-rows: masonry;

This is however limited to webkit. I implemented it and ditched in October 2023 already for my private news feed in gallery mode.
My favorite is this comparison for checking whether an element is hidden:

$(el).is(':hidden')

vs.

!(el.offsetWidth || el.offsetHeight || el.getClientRects().length)

DOM API has other problems like lack of chaining which forces you into a very imperative style of programming, e.g.:

$(".alert").hide();

vs.

for (const el of document.querySelectorAll(".alert")) {
el.style.display = 'none';
}
This video constructs a GoL in APL (not one liner). It is quite understandable even if you don’t know APL (I had just started tinkering with APL when I first found it I think): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a9xAKttWgP4

From my experience I've never had a tranny fail that wasn't beat to death unmercifully.

Clutches wear out, and it is possible to wear out an automatic transmissions' clutches, but I've never had it happen.

In the context of American Christian hegemony, even if "damn" or "damned" isn't considered particularly strong by many, a lot of people object strongly to "goddamn." It's a superstition that has to do with one of the Ten Commandments: Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
I know that's what you're suggesting. I'm saying that's wrong and there's no reason to believe it.

If you have two people, one who wants to build a great product and the other who wants to climb the corporate ladder, the one climbing the ladder will always end up managing the one building great products.
No, you were arguing that general aviation is multiple orders of magnitude safer than ground vehicles. As noted in my citations it is, in fact, 3-5x more dangerous than ground vehicles per distance (the comparison metric most favorable to flying). Only commercial air transport, which is what all of your citations are about, are multiple orders of magnitude safer.

As you note, car owners are vastly less careful than certified plane owners and pilots, and yet the basically untrained car owners are 3-5x safer driving. As this thread was about enabling private flight vehicles for "everybody", it is clear that private flight vehicles are nowhere near safe enough for "everybody" if even the comparatively highly-trained certified plane owner is much less safe than a basically untrained car owner since private flight vehicles for "everybody" would undoubtedly be operated by basically untrained flying car owners making the danger even more pronounced than a mere 3-5x.
Concern why?

It's weird how well they hide their repository.

Github link on https://erpnext.com/ goes to https://github.com/erpnext which is pointless.

Actual repo seems to be https://github.com/frappe/erpnext and is GPL-3.0.
Doesn't solve them putting the phone in airplane mode or getting the camera coated in an opaque film, though. Also, every elderly family member with an iPhone has forgotten the iCloud password and asked me why they cannot install apps. But it's still better than the alternatives.
I'm so sick of search systems ignoring or changing my search string. LinkedIn is especially bad for this. If I search for "OpenGL", many of the results don't contain the one word I searched for. Many of the results are "promoted" jobs from Microsoft that have nothing to do with graphics.

On Apple’s job site, it will include OpenCL jobs in addition to OpenGL.

It is probably more efficient for my time and sanity to create a web scraper and run my own searches offline. At least for searching for job postings.
The only step in your plan that matters at all, is the hours per day of 1:1 tutoring.
There was (is?) a time where if you replaced the tranny fluid with anything BUT the exact Chrysler one, it would kill it dead pretty quick. Some people would buy up minivans with dead transmissions at 80k miles or whenever the quick lube place told them to flush the tranny, then clean it out and put the right fluid in and it'd work fine again.
> there is demand for it. Well, so what?

Of course demand for something doesn't make it something that should be free.

On the other hand, your arguments against e-libraries are just as vague and lacking in implication.

Libraries promote literacy and/or learning with every book read. Even as a source of entertainment, it promotes a richer culture. All of which does have a total health of society benefit.

A lot of this debt is money we lent to the government via past social security surpluses. The other large debtee are other American organizations, only a small part of this debt is held overseas.

I think the counterpoint is it's turtles all the way down. At some point you're relying on human mind, logic or otherwise, which will always have possibility of misunderstandings and mistakes.

It seems like Mahematicians are interesring tools that maybe could help with proving, but ultimately will never be authorative itsel as a statement of proof.

Of course, this is ultimately a philosophical devate, which hinges on the fact to at while Mathematicians may be demonstrably correct in any number of known applications, there are no guarantees that they are and will remain correct. Such is the nature of wetware.

---

development of proof assistants is in noticable part fueled by the same fear - fear that wetware had a fault somewhere in the long ladder of math, causing all the layers above be a useless junk

and those things did happen, it isn't just an imagined threat

what proof assistants propose is a clever trick - write one, simple, kernel. Stare at those 100 lines of code. Stare at mathematical definitions of intended API. Conclude that those coincide. Then use that kernel on the text files with all the proof ladder

All mistrust of "whole mathematics" gets condensed in mistrust of 100 lines of code

And mistrust of wetware gets replaced with mistrust of hardware - something we already do since even before computers appeared
>Today we have a dozen frameworks to create a simple website, from React, T3, Blitz, Next, etc.

>In the past, php + mysql was enough for me, today I need postgres. But why?

Oracle bought sun/mysql. Which is by definition the death of mysql.

Yes Mariadb fork exists but everyone did the analysis. We're leaving mysql, we could easily move over to mariadb but postgresql is simply better a few ways. For me the biggest feature for postgresql is replication abilities. But performance is simply better as well.

>Let's create one web framework that will be perfect for everyone! Including fans of react, php, python, rust etc :D

Best of luck!
It’s common to have a mix where some trucks make 1 route per day and others do several. So you can optimize by rotating loading times, spare vehicles, and having some onsite batteries.

Solar > battery means DC fast charging gets to skip AC>DC losses which are significant. But you don’t need to use 100% of solar’s output to save a lot of money.
Still amazing that they would get to 400k.
Wasn't this also the case with the Apple Watch back in 2015? The hardware there was a 1st-generation dud too.
Without getting into the Palestine/Israel part, something I feel strongly about but cannot phrase nicely in a pithy internet comment - I really think that for someone griping about ignoring nuance or deep analysis you are grossly mischaracterizing trans rights.

Being trans is a huge hassle, and not something done as a lark to get into female spaces. You also ignore transmasc people who are equally oppressed by the new laws coming out of places like Florida and Texas.
aⁿ grows (a/b)ⁿ as quickly as bⁿ. The multiplicative difference still grows exponentially in n.
What happens when the community decides this one isn’t good enough and comes up with a replacement? The problem I’ve always had with these descriptive names is (a) they are often hard to google because they conflict with all sorts of documentation about the problem space and (b) when they’re deprecated, they become a trap for beginners. “Cute” project names are better for the same reason as we don’t name children and pets random English phrases describing them.
Huh interesting.

The language seems sort of complicated for the domain (gameplay scripting).
speculation: they care, they know the people involved, and think highly of them.

Larry & Sergey are only humans. They can get bamboozled by people just like anyone. And they are in a situation where the very best bamboozlers are trying to bamboozle them, all the time. The people "failing up" are, in some cases, the Lebron James's of bamboozlement.

It's quite strange to see very capable people fall for such types, but it happens, I've seen it - and everyone around saw it except the very capable person.

In our area, the teachers union straight up released a pro-Hamas, anti-Israeli resolution despite no one asking them for their opinion. And we're in a fairly dense Jewish area.
I agree with you. Having said that, TSMC’s ramp in Japan has gone much more smoothly than in Arizona, which indicates that all the issues can’t be attributed to language barriers. There is a work ethic/culture delta as well.

> The 2023 records, newly disclosed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, also show that injury rates at some SpaceX facilities grew worse than those the company had reported in 2022. At its manufacturing-and-launch facility in Brownsville, Texas, for instance, SpaceX reported 5.9 injuries per 100 workers, surpassing its rate of 4.8 injuries in 2022 and topping a space industry average of 0.8.

Not that I think Elan gives a crap about his employees...but could we see some "injuries per orbital launch" numbers? Because if SpaceX padded its headcount with enough couch-surfers and do-nothings to hit the same "workers per annual launch" metrics as their competition, then SpaceX might easily be (statistically) the safest space industry company to work for, by 10X or more.
Google literally testified before Congress that they wouldn't link their user data with advertising profiles when they bought DoubleClick. That didn't stop them from doing it anyway.

The thing I love about this story is that it demonstrates that even in a global mega-organization, a single person can make a huge difference, for better (Gomes) or for worse (Raghavan).
Yeah, all of those architectures are _themselves_ hacks to get around having insufficient compute! They absolutely were encoding inductive biases into the network to get around not being able to train enough, and transformers (handwaving hard enough to levitate, the currently-trainable model family with the least inductive bias) have eaten the world in all domains.

This is evidence _for_ the Bitter Lesson, not against it.
Why do you think this discussion should be shut down?

It seems like there's a significant topic worth exploring here: a tech company with "liberal activism" as a core value is now terminating employees for being political.

As a Xoogler from 2007-2013 it saddens me to hear how it's changed since I was there. At the time it was definitely one of the best places to work in tech for me at least.

I would say that there is very little danger of a proof in Lean being incorrect.

There is a serious danger, which has nothing to do with bugs in Lean, which is a known problem for software verification and also applies in math: one must read the conclusions carefully to make sure that the right thing is actually proved.

I read Wilshaw's final conclusions carefully, and she did indeed prove what needed to be proved.
We already have your idea at the college level, and it created the student loan crisis. Paying $400K to a professional sales organization based on a sales pitch that won't show results for a decade, is begging for disaster.
Also, a substantial portion of that $1T is money that the government owes to itself. For example, the Fed purchased a large amount when it was doing QE.

It seems silly to count money that moves from one pocket to another within the Federal government.

$1B in AVP sales.

I wonder what Apple's sales expectations were for AVP.

$1B in revenue for a brand new product that's only been out for 2.5 months seems a massive success to me [0].

But then again, at Apple's scale - $1B isn't much.

As long as the US government can afford to run with trillion dollar deficits. Once the budget cuts take place and the defense budget gets cut by half, all bets are off.
I would imagine it's a pretty short timespan, relatively speaking. Technology can progress exponentially in a way that biology does not. Once a society gets to the point where they can create existential risks faster than they can manage them, in an accelerating fashion, things are likely to collapse in pretty short order.

Our own society has created a number of serious risks for ourselves that our evolved minds aren't great at mitigating in just the last century. Now think about how tech is accelerating and what might be developed in the next 1000 years. We're either going to figure out a new structure for managing existential risks or die trying.
This forces borrowers to communicate higher quality information indicating their actual highest priority books.

Which helps the library improve the economics and provide the best service for the resources they have to work with.

Having each reader's hold list interpreted as an ordered prioritized list would add even more information. People with similar lists but differing priorities would be served even better, more cheaply.

It's not a consent problem. Even if you have consent, or some other legal justification for what you are doing with user data, users need to contact you if they want to exercise some of their GDPR rights such as the right to have their data deleted.

Article 27 is about requiring that you at least support one specific method of contact: a representative in the Union. It applies if your site is covered by GDPR and is not in the Union.

There's an exception for sites whose processing of personal data is occasional, does not include certain particularly sensitive kinds of data (e.g., genetic data, health data, criminal conviction records), and is unlikely to pose a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

There's some commentary here [1] about Article 27. It says that

> The aim of Article 27 GDPR is to ensure that the level of protection afforded to EU-based data subjects is not reduced where non-EU based controllers or processors process their data. It aims to both provide a contact point for data subjects and ensure that there is legal accountability for processing activities by mandating the appointment of a representative.

I see that page also has something to say about what "occasional" mean:

> The term "occasional" has been interpreted by the WP29 to mean processing that is not carried out regularly and that falls outside of the scope of the regular activities of the controller or processor. Similarly, Millard and Kamarinou have interpreted the term "occasional" to mean "non-systematic" processing, or in other words, processing that happens on an ad hoc and infrequent basis and not in a regular way

It sounds like automatically logging all visits to your web server in the Apache logs would not be "occasional".

Agreed. I struggled to keep going after "computer scientist class traitor". A very juvenile take that reflects poorly on the author, IMO.
Imho, the problem is scale.

At certain company sizes, the direct output of entire divisions ceases to be visible to leadership.

What they receive instead are reports that filter up through management.

Consequently, when they promote people, they're doing so on the basis of what they've seen.

Invariably, this selects for shitty business types who can spend the majority of their time ensuring their name is first on successful initiatives and scrubbed off failed ones.
