No. A functional epistemological environment requires something much more along the lines of extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and JAQing is an abrogation of the latter duty implied by the former action.

"Agreeing to disagree" is the last redoubt of conspiracism because it's so bankrupt in the standing of a given claim that there's nothing else to lean on.

Because every app needs to be the dominant one or it can't possibly make enough money to make a VC happy, which is the answer to all three of your questions.

Apple has had P2P payments for a while. Yesterday's announcement was that now you can tap to pay for those. Before, you'd have to send money via iMessage.
Like the post above notes, currently:

Pay -> Android Pay -> Google Pay -> Google Wallet

Maybe:

Google Wallet -> Android Wallet -> Wallet -> Pay

For a nice ecological circle. With the large predator dying and decomposing back to Pay, and their skin being made into a Wallet, because of its monopolistic pointlessness, and lack of ability to implement even a credit card with a 400,000 customer waitlist.

Caveat: IANAL so there are sure to be things wrong/missed here.

So recognizances or peace bonds are issued frequently - even before this act.

"The purpose of a recognizance or peace bond is to prevent serious harm by imposing conditions upon a person, which may restrict their movement or behaviour to reduce the risk of them committing a future offence"

I know of instances where someone has verbally threatened harm on another person - and been subject to this. Generally, the impact is "stay away from the person or face consequences" but can have many additional conditions. Often a recognizance/peace bond is offered as an alterative to actual court proceedings - like a plea deal, but without the burden of a criminal record.

I think your employer has ADHD.

Edit: perhaps, that sounded flippant to those consuming my karma, but that walk through of all the disjointed, scattered and abortive efforts really resonated with me as someone diagnosed with ADHD. It's how I would probably run a company if lacking pressure to channel my distractions into coherent plans.

AI hype allows one to push "slop" about AI slop.

Just like simple template generated SEO, template-written "content", etc. before.

In fact, a lot of writing about AI slop could be considered just as much slop...
These kinds of illusions are something machines doing tracking & estimation already experience. The estimator is trying to fit a path that makes kinematic sense onto noisy measurements of position. When I see these all I can think is that your brain clearly feeds you "filtered" and "estimated" corrections for you to decide against.

This type of perception-before-decision is ubiquitous in robotics.

You can do capacitive touch with RP2040 just fine. Turn on, turn off, measure time. Plus I don't like modules as they seem pointless complexity when I just want to order a ready-assembled, self-designed PCB.
If its based on heart rate and breath rate you could probably do that sonically or ultrasonically. If it's using ultrasound, it's probable that it's just because of your sleeping position. The maternal/infant monitors that the hospital my wife gave birth in used were very sensitive to positioning to the degree that they would stop measuring my son's heartbeat whenever she changed positions whereupon the nurse would come in and reposition the sensor.
I used to use MAFF (Mozilla Archive Format)[1] a lot back in the day. I was very upset when they ended the support[2].

I'm pretty sure it was part of the wave that also included Solitare and Sudoku. They now want you to create an account and log in. There are ads before the game starts. The app is slow to start. All in all pretty terrible all around. Luckily this is on a PC and there are much better alternatives that will run just fine.

> but no-one in the comments here is even mentioning it

The post has an entire section discussing this.

The problem with text-to-sql is that, as the post elaborates, writing SQL is not the problem. It's understanding the context and the data:

> On the other hand, a technical person would notice that the question doesn't make sense, and they would ask for more context. They would ask for details about the business person's hypothesis and the problem at hand. Then, they would explain what type of data is available, and work with the business person to formulate a precise and useful question.

Text-to-sql in practice is a solution that nobody was asking for, despite the insane number of SV startups shipping GPT-text-to-sql wrappers as products.

There certainly is like places where LLMs can help (post touches on this briefly), and that is in semantically exploring databases/tables/etc and contexts around data, but this is a very different project and would require a lot of curation from data teams to make it happen.

I think this sentiment applies to a lot of facets of the energy transition/preventing climate collapse - perhaps sadly?

A lot of the cooler distributed solutions and demand-side solutions could have been our saviors had we started on them in earnest 10-15 years ago. They should still be pursued as part of a robust and resilient system (everything from re-insulating homes to V2G to cutting out dairy and meat from diets to dispatchable home heating/cooling-appliances etc etc) but the truth is that we are spiraling towards climate collapse and those sorts of solutions are simply put more difficult to implement and maintain, especially because they often involve massive social buy in; at the same time, those solutions don’t tend to address the source energy question in any meaningful way (besides rooftop PV which is not enough even for low energy homes in many climates), so supply-side solutions will always still be needed, and like you said, there are economies of scale in both thermodynamic/physics efficiencies and in management and planning. It would be awesome if everyone stopped eating steak, but the realist in me knows that expecting that to happen at a scale which moves the needle just does not seem realistic.

It’s sad to me in that the “distributed” solutions tend to actually address root causes of climate catastrophe - addiction to energy consumption, “capitalism” writ large, being good denizens of the planet, etc etc in one way or another - and would entail a real improvement to how we understand the fabric of society and modern civilization (I’m speaking broadly here of course, but I think it holds water), whereas the centralized solutions feel in some sense like bandaids that obfuscate our collective responsibility and engagement with the issue (besides tax dollars and utility rates going towards the solutions I guess), but at the timescale of the crisis we are dealing with the size of that lever and its effectiveness is kind of unarguable I think.

Build big solar and wind farms, lots of batteries, start using cleaner steel and cement manufacturing processes, hope that super deep geothermal or micro-reactors progress, hope that we find a better way to sequester carbon coming from either direct air capture or post-combustion carbon capture.

Everything else is just (important) gravy. And I say this as someone mostly focused on the demand side, not supply side! (I’m a building scientist)
Is the license still relevant if the company has shut down?
I think you're spot on.

As soon as social media went from this really cool place to connect with communities and people into a cesspool of partisan politics, overbearing ads and massive echo chambers and horrific abuse of people's private information - the sheen of the internet had worn off for me.

Maybe I'm just being a pessimist and am only seeing the negative stuff, but it just feels overwhelmingly bad. this AI spam is just another nail in the coffin for me. I've already been pulling back from the internet for a while now, and nothing has given me any encouragement to engage any more than I absolutely have to at this point.
My personal experience is that food is overpackaged. I find a lot of produce are unnecessarily bagged in plastic containers (mushrooms, cucumbers, corn, asparagus, berries etc. in my local grocery store). I always feel weird not just about low quality plastic films touching the food, but also that I am constantly throwing out plastic that cannot be recycled.

If it’s any consolation, even old wood floors will typically shed plastic particles when worn as they get refinished/sealed with polyurethane. Some really old school folks will use boiled linseed oil, which isn’t a man made plastic - but does polymerize into a type of plastic when it dries.

Because companies want you to be locked in their ecosystem. The industry keeps saying they can self regulate, but until lawmakers step in, expect that the consumers will continue to be harmed because companies are chasing profits, not actually improving the user experiences.

We demand therefore:

11. The abolition of incomes unearned by work.

The breaking of the slavery of interest

12. In view of the enormous sacrifices of life and property demanded of a nation by any war, personal enrichment from war must be regarded as a crime against the nation. We demand therefore the ruthless confiscation of all war profits.

13. We demand the nationalization of all businesses which have been formed into corporations (trusts).

14. We demand profit-sharing in large industrial enterprises.

15. We demand the extensive development of insurance for old age.

16. We demand the creation and maintenance of a healthy middle class, the immediate communalizing of big department stores, and their lease at a cheap rate to small traders, and that the utmost consideration shall be shown to all small traders in the placing of State and municipal orders.

17. We demand a land reform suitable to our national requirements, the passing of a law for the expropriation of land for communal purposes without compensation; the abolition of ground rent, and the prohibition of all speculation in land.

18. We demand the ruthless prosecution of those whose activities are injurious to the common interest. Common criminals, usurers, profiteers, etc., must be punished with death, whatever their creed or race.
The post office idea makes a lot of sense to me. There are a lots of people with no bank account but could use a pay app that isn't going to screw them.
I agree with all that and would add that the documentation is fantastic, and the software tooling and SDK is well-done. That's a big advantage that vastly outweighs small differences in cost (unless you're selling millions of something).
> quasi-totalitarian government

I think it's very very likely that Trudeau steps down as PM with little fuss when his party loses the next election (as polls very strongly suggest will be the case) and power is transferred to the opposition without drama. The previous election he lost his majority and there was no 'totalitarian' attempt to keep it.

People will then also claim the next government is 'quasi-totalitarian' and eventually they lose an election as well and step aside.

I'm not sure what you want the 'passive' Canadians to do given they already going to vote out a 'bad faith as gets' government - doesn't that seem like the proper course of action?

This is the important part.

My advisor said new means old method applied to new data or new method on old data.

Maybe that's iterative, but maybe not. Either way, once the opportunity presents, time is of the essence.
Doesn’t rust’s static linking also have to do with the strategy of aggressive minimization?

Depending on the renewables mix the grid settles on, selling some back during the night might make sense. Both solar (obviously) and wind (less obviously, at least to me) decrease during the night so we may find we need to supplement the generation with battery reserves during the night for demand peaks.

Nuclear and traditional dammed hydro prefer to be setup to provide extremely consistent power too so there's a gap in the power generation if we completely eliminate fossil fuels. Even if we don't completely eliminate them, peaker plants are extremely expensive to operate because their base costs and ideally low usage means their cost per megawatt is pretty high.
