Most comments here rightfully touch on how Google will likely sunset this product after the teams that built it get hollowed out and they realize it generates no ad revenue. Almost definitely true.

I wish to add that the entire home automation landscape is a total clusterf**. It's an indecipherable mess of competing and overlapping standards, protocols, ecosystems amid a sea of players constantly joining and leaving the market, introducing and sunsetting their products. It's extremely difficult to find one solution that solves all your home automation and security needs. Then DIY'ers start adding things like Homeassistant into the mix to "tie it all together", which really is not practical for the average consumer.

Right now I have probably 8 to 10 different apps on my phone for remote controlling thermostats, security systems, and doorbell cams.

>changing people is so surprisingly hard—no matter how much you focus on the person in front of you, you’ll never appreciate the million tiny influences that made them who they are and that keep them that way. If you really want to make someone different, you might have to change the TV they watch, the music they listen to, the things they learn in school, the friends they hang out with, the role models they look up to, etc.

I'm a white guy who grew up in rural Pennsylvania in the 60s and 70s, so you can imagine what my implicit biases are like pretty reliably. What helps me get away from that is access to social media sites like X, reddit, and tumblr, where I follow people who are as different from me as possible. I have updated my influences. I listen. I pay attention to my internal dialogue and reactions and try to challenge myself.

>and if you do all that, congratulations, you’ve started what we call a cult.

Right. It's one thing to open myself to worlds I'm not aware of. It's something completely different to try to control what someone else experiences.

Another way of saying that is—as an atheist, I don't find religions interesting or useful. But I know that I'll never be able to sell atheism to anyone if their religion is a deeply meaningful part of their worldview and identity. Any attempt to do so has to start by destroying that world and that identity, and that kind of violence is anathema to anyone with the smallest bit of empathy. We are made of our influences and this essay covers that well.

It's a great essay that covers so much more than smoking (or drugs). Thanks for the link.
I had the displeasure of working with a Flow codebase that typed every string and int uniquely like this. I could see the benefit if you’re working on something mission critical where correctness is paramount, but in your average web app I think it just creates a lot of friction and busy work with no real benefit.

There are plenty of much cheaper telescopes in that 6" aperture range. My 152mm was only $1k. My polar mount was $1500. Even adding in a tracking scope/camera to attach is still a fraction of the price of single lens. Tack on a similar SBIG dedicated astro camera and cheap laptop to run the guiding and imaging would still come in under that price tag.

So, is there an advantage of having all of the lenses on the same tracking platform to justify the expense of the single mount? If you place individual 6" scopes in an area where humans could comfortably move between them all pointed at the same object or even slightly different areas to get the wider image, would that not be the same/similar result? Essentially, building the VLA but with commodity off-the-shelf visible scopes.

> The whole point of the entire thing was its affordability

No, not really. If it was just affordability you could buy a used ProLiant server for the same price on Facebook Marketplace and have 20x the computing power.

Raspi has been about the perfect balance of: power consumption, affordability, form factor, and computational capability all in one.

If you can manage your project with a unit that is roughly 2x the form factor, you can get the same power consumption (less?!) with an N100, at the same cost, but double the processing power: https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_cpu-raspberry_pi_5_b_b...

Aren't these two forms isomorphic:

type MyUnion = { type: "foo"; foo: string } | { type: "bar"; bar: string };

vs

type MyUnion = Foo of { foo: string } | Bar of { bar: string };

You still need some runtime encoding of which branch of the union your data is; otherwise, your code could not pick a branch at runtime.

There's a slight overhead to the TypeScript version (which uses strings instead of an int to represent the branch) but it allows discriminated unions to work without having to introduce them as a new data type into JavaScript. And if you really wanted to, you could use a literal int as the `type` field instead.

That's not the cost of the car. You here all these stories of "X" bought a Mazda 3 years ago for $42k and now it's out of warranty and the battery replacement is $28k? They're all shocked, but what they don't realize is THE CAR WAS NOT $42k. The US/Canadian/UK government likely subsidized $20k~$30k of the car: the battery.

End the subsidizes and people will quickly see the REAL cost of these cars.

A compiler that injects backdoors in targeted programs and self-propagates the meta-backdoor (to avoid detection in the source) is exactly the trusting trust attack and it can be mitigated by diverse double-compiling (paper linked above). It requires a second compiler and we have mrustc, a Rust compiler in C++ built specifically for circumventing the unverified bootstrap chain of rustc.

The process is: Compile mrustc with a C++ compiler. Compile rustc sources with untrusted rustc binary and compile rustc sourcs with mrustc (these have identical behavior, but different codegen). Compile rustc sources with rustc-by-rustc and compile rustc sources with rustc-by-mrustc (these will have identical behavior and codegen). Those will match. If you compile once more, they will match. Since mrustc is never compiled by rustc, such a backdoor would have to also exist in gcc/clang and propagate with exactly identical behavior in mrustc. The process could be repeated for gcc/clang.

For extensions which primarily add functionality to a target site, you can usually run the exact same extension code in Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

The latter two have API differences from Chrome - e.g. using the `browser` namespace for extension APIs instead of `chrome`, and Promises instead of callbacks for async functionality - but for the sake of compatibility they also implement Chrome's version of these APIs [1][2], so if you just use the Chrome APIs and don't venture into the more browser-internal APIs such as bookmarks, the same extension code will likely run everywhere, with some specific differences/incompatibilities noted in the docs below.

If you were to create a new cross-browser extension today, one of the main issues would be that Chrome Web Store no longer accepts new MV2 extensions so you have to use MV3 for it, but MV3 in Firefox currently has some serious usability issues around permissions which are being addressed in upcoming releases [3] so you'll want to use MV2 for it, however this likely just means you'd need to have separate MV2 and MV3 manifest.json files which get bundled into different zip files for submission to the different browser extension stores. I had to do this recently for one of my extensions [4]

I am not a linguist, but I don't think that many linguists would agree with your assessment that dialects, leet speak, short form writing, slang, creoles, or vernaculars are necessarily ungrammatical.

From what I understand, the modern understanding is that these point to the failure of grammar as a prescriptive exercise ("This is how thou shalt speak"). Human speech is too complex for simple grammar rules to fully capture its variety. Strict grammar and lexical rules were always fantasies of the grammar teacher anyway.

See, for example, the following article on double negatives and African American Vernacular English: https://daily.jstor.org/black-english-matters/.
I think it will be a good thing to get rid of the people using Raspberry Pi as cheap desktops. It was always a compromise before cheap little computers were available. Now that they are, the Pi can go back to being hobby computer.

There are lots of projects that need a small cheap computer that doesn't really need display.
Exoplanet detection is a very precise measurement. The two main methods we have (doppler shift of host star from the planet's orbit and the transit of the planet across the star) are not exhaustive by any means and biased towards discovering large planets that have short orbital periods. The fact that more Earth sized planets are being discovered and could serve as targets of analysis by JWST is an exciting prospect and I can't wait to see its development!
>(e) "Model Derivatives" means all (i) modifications to Gemma, (ii) works based on Gemma, or (iii) any other machine learning model which is created by transfer of patterns of the weights, parameters, operations, or Output of Gemma, to that model in order to cause that model to perform similarly to Gemma, including distillation methods that use intermediate data representations or methods based on the generation of synthetic data Outputs by Gemma for training that model. For clarity, Outputs are not deemed Model Derivatives.

Provenance is a serious problem for a language which has pointers and optimisation.

It's interesting to me that serious people propose "bag of bits" semantics (basically "What is provenance, lets just say pointers are raw addresses") for C++ which seems like a terrible idea and I can't tell whether they really mean that.

Not everyone is well off in Switzerland, the country is relatively rich and lots of rich people moved there but the wealth isn’t distributed equally among the population. It’s not necessarily as visible as other countries due to the low density.

The lower-end, power-efficient market is being rapidly devoured by the ESP32. A $20 Pi will still use much more power than an ESP32 while also being less reliable and still 3x the price.

The RPi company looked into the future and saw microcontrollers eating the lower end of the market, which is why they are now chasing performance.

Unfortunately IMO they are not executing on this well. The RPi 5 requires 5V at 5 amps to run properly. It's now near-impossible to run via the 5V header pins, no existing power supplies can support it, and at 25W of power consumption the Intel systems you mention are now serious competition.

EDIT: actually it's worse than that. Here's a $99 Intel system that claims 6W power consumption: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKXL2MPM?ref=product_details&th=...

Aside from GPIO headers it's hard to justify a Pi 5 over that on any grounds.

28 to 32 is negligible aero wise for most people, I don't disagree. 30 mph (or slower into the headwind for an air speed of 30 mph) will start to matter a little bit though, math doesn't lie.

But saying wider tires are better as a blanket statement implies that you can run like 45c gravel tires and still have the same aero drag, which is by far not the case.

> Factory reset upgrade prevents a reset by a thief. For some criminals, the goal is to quickly reset your stolen device and resell it. We’re making it more difficult to do that with an upgrade to Android’s factory reset protection. With this upgrade, if a thief forces a reset of the stolen device, they’re not able to set it up again without knowing your device or Google account credentials. This renders a stolen device unsellable, reducing incentives for phone theft.

Can I turn this off ?
At least on iOS, I can't imagine that happening - apps are not allowed to demand you grant permissions unrelated to the actual functionality. From App Review Guidelines (5.1.1) Data Collection and Storage, (ii) Access:

> Apps must respect the user’s permission settings and not attempt to manipulate, trick, or force people to consent to unnecessary data access. For example, apps that include the ability to post photos to a social network must not also require microphone access before allowing the user to upload photos.

Lots of iOS apps today really want to mine your address book, and constantly spam you with dialogs to enable it, but they don't go as far as disabling other features until you grant them access, because they'd get rejected once someone noticed.
Your usage of the term "doppelgänger" and your claim that they have agency and rights... is extremely bizarre.
