Couldn't the owners just ...hoard the extra/throttle the delivery of the supefluous amount to keep prices up?
Making software for all those models was exhausting. It took an entire team just to profile phones and make configurations for compilers (what is the screen resolution? does it have feature x? is there a physical keyboard, and how many buttons does it have? where are the crucial buttons located? ...), and then you ended up with hundreds of targets taking days or weeks to make a build. I know many programmers that quit the industry altogether during those times.

> Do (educated) people in Nigeria see Norway as a role model for political development?

Corruption and incompetence are too rampant here, so the Norwegian model will never work—nobody thinks of it. We also have 40 times the population and fewer resources than Norway, making it impossible.

> Also, how is Botswana seen in Nigeria?

Almost no one thinks of it, lol. But it's arguably the best African country for the average citizen, owing to relatively low corruption and a high value for the rule of law. Compared to Europe, Bostwana is a backwater, but in Africa, it's currently our peak :(
4D Gaussian splatting will probably get us there, there are many research papers about it for example:

https://fudan-zvg.github.io/4d-gaussian-splatting/

But even with that, it would allow only limited movement because if you move to much in the reconstructed space then it would have to show you occluded areas that has been never recorded. But for that case generative AI could be used to fill in the the gaps, which means it wouldn't be true to life reconstruction anymore, but it could be still useful where that isn't that important.
Porn has always been banned from the App Store. Jobs specially said it years ago. The browser has been the one way to access it, which limits what can be done.

Generally grid backfeed capability for these systems is predicated on the presence of a stable voltage and frequency already on the grid - this is both a safety measure and a practical necessity, as the inverter needs to synchronize with the grid frequency.
Yes; mine does that too. Have you ever tried to use one of those TTS systems? They can just about read standard international English; anything more interesting, like someone's name, and they fall back to spelling-out the letters.
Playing the Long Game: Law Enforcement Recruitment
What is the vision over there at Microsoft?
I know the Kagi drumbeat is nonstop around here, but the AI slop problem is really not as pervasive as I feared it would be. Granted, since the advent of mass enslopification, most of my daily searching is in a fairly restricted space: computer vision, 3D geometry and a smattering of python tools. I've pinned all the official documentation, raised the high-signal sites, lowered the medium.coms, and blocked all those sites the mirror GitHub issues. The vast majority of my searches get me the thing I want on the first try as the first result.

I know slop is going to ruin everything else, but I've been able to carve out my little space well enough for my on-the-job need internet needs. Off the job, it's probably better to be IRL anyway.
This was happening long before corporations were even a thing.

At one point, roughly 90% of the human race worked in manual agriculture, generally as some form of unfree labor (serfs or slaves), with most of the other 10% as foot soldiers, then a thin veneer of nobles and priests at the top.

Replacing human labor with machinery is pretty much the only thing that has ever improved the general standard of living, whether they are shareholders or not.
iOS won’t send requests to it unless that node appears in the transparency log.

If it appears in the transparency log, the whole world will be able to see that a suspicious node has started serving requests.

If Apple changes iOS to remove that restriction, the whole world will be able to see that change because it’s client side.

If Apple tries to deliver a custom version of iOS to a single user, the iOS hardware will refuse to run it unless it has a valid signature.

If it has a valid signature, that copy of the firmware is irrefutable evidence that Apple is deliberately breaking its privacy promises and spying on people in a way they specifically said they wouldn’t, which would be extremely harmful to their business.

Apple seems to be going all-out in binding themselves in a way that makes it as difficult as possible to do what you are suggesting.

Social media sites can't charge to post. That sounds like a misunderstanding of who is providing the value here.

> Higher-end restaurants make their humans even more visible and push a hibachi/omakase model…

I agree with all of your points, but…

These Japanese words seem to have taken on vastly new meanings in the US.

1. Hibachi is a charcoal brazier/grill, not a griddle. I think you are referring to a teppan(yaki) (which is a flat griddle). Teppan for making food in front of customers can be found in places like okonomiyaki restaurants and higher end steak houses (subdued affairs minus the Benihana “tricks” by the chefs).

2. Omakase is just chef’s choice. It is not related to whether the preparation can be seen or not. I’m guessing you mean simply sitting at the “sushi bar”/counter seat rather than at a table. One can watch their food being made at a classic diner counter seat as well. Note that one of the best sushi experiences I’ve had in the US (outside of LA in a converted house) was omakase sushi in which we never saw the chef.

All that said, “open kitchens” will almost certainly become signs of a premium dining experience.

Everything had tradeoffs, but the composability of the state machines built by the compiler's async support allows you to easily build multi-tasking bare-metal systems with thousands of "tasks" and no RTOS (or SRAM-wasting threads). I highly recommend playing with Embassy for a week before discounting this approach for embedded software.

If you care about RAM consumption, you need to share the stack between tasks, forcing you to write event-driven code. Rust async makes this easy, and a bit of function coloring is no big deal compared to converting blocking code into event-driven code the traditional way...
It’s also because they have a twelve month release cycle.
The form factor here is cool, but as someone whose been resin printing a bunch lately, the pitch to carry it around in your pocket sounds questionable.

1. Where are you going to store the resin? It isn't good to touch it. Are they also expecting people to carry around somewhat toxic resin in their other pocket and then make a little puddle on the ground to print? Resin printing is messy and cleaning is hard. Make sure to carry isopropyl alcohol in your other pocket.

2. It produces toxic fumes while printing that you need to exhaust. So you at least need a mask.

3. It takes hours to print on a large machine: you need a model file, to edit the model to print in resin well and then the actual print can be multiple hours long. Not to mention multiple print failures which is often the case.

Everything mentioned about the surgical application sounds possible today, but it's still not fast enough or reliable enough in that scenario. Also... Resin isn't that strong, you want to graft it to a bone, what?

I have never entered the US, but have been to many of the larger European cities. None of them came close to what Americans on /r/fuckcars are fantasizing about, when they talk about Europe.

If they post pictures it is almost always of the few square kilometers of the city where millionaires and shops for millionaires are located. The rest of the city is full of streets and cars are everywhere. The one difference is that there are trains, which usually are awful places but get you from A to B.

I researched this a bit earlier this week but didn't save the links. Its not just that China could produce rare earth minerals at lower costs but western countries starting tightening their laws on mining (due to uranium byproducts) but also environments laws. Then they willingly shared the production techniques to China to do all the dirty work.

However US restarted its rare earth mining a few years back and now it ranks second in production through far behind China. I'm guess the main concern was the need of these rare earth minerals for military equipment.

You are presupposing that it's not possible for GPT to write a well researched essay, which shows a limited understanding of how to use it well for research. For targeted essays, the audience is a single person, and so there is no reason for someone to iterate on GPT's work; it is sufficient to review it.
You still have to pay blockchain fees on crypto transactions.
The location in Sweden is not particularly bad. The logistics to shipping is very well established through the all season harbor Narvik (in Norway) because of the iron ore mines.

The culprit is the Sami people that just happened to live there before the more powerful swedish government annexed it. Who is right? The people who were here first herding reindeer or the government? Not a trivial question to answer if you take a step back.
This is one of those weird narratives where you see stories about rare earth minerals are thought to be rare like gold, not rare as in practically everywhere but in very small quantities.

They used to mine rare earth metals in California. It's terrible for the environment and labor costs are high. But in an emergency you could do it there and many other places.
There is also the point that people fooled by app1e.com will also be fooled by some similarily creative company name hack. And that's even before realizing that there are legit companies whose name has little to do with the brands customers know.

Great, just great. I went relatively low-tech and outfitted the mattress I sleep on with an Angel Care sensor pad, connected to some custom homemade datalogging stuff. This is to convince me that what felt like a restless night actually did have significant sleep spells. So I'm just imagining feeling tired and having been awake most of the night, right? Have some coffee and get on with things. And now they're saying that sleep was, in fact, no good?

"Significant sleep spells" - sometimes the data, sampled in 1-minute binning intervals, is a flat line - no difference, minute-to-minute, in motion (however significantly above baseline of an unoccupied mattress - I guess that's what the angel care sensors monitor - just the motion energy of breathing. Other times the data is really, really noisy. Is that different sleep or just different body position? Never figured it out. But "awake" is clearly visible - that's noise that never goes down to the "just breathing" baseline at all.

> “We’re trying to engage in a dialog with Apple to implement these changes,” she said Monday. “They don’t feel like these are necessary actions.”

I'm trying my hardest to not assume this person is an industry plant, but... didn't we all arrive at the consensus that local iCloud scanning is a dangerous political Rubicon to cross?

It doesn't make sense why someone would advocate for this feature without also addressing the security and privacy concerns that (supposedly) made Apple drop it entirely. Their demands are just bringing us back to square-one and repeating the same tautology that failed to prove the feature's worth in the first place.
Is that dialog genuine? It looks like one of those "Your PC has a virus" dialogs found on some dirty websites.

Also a Kagi user, and I've done the same. It is frustrating and ironic that generative AI is forcing me to do extra work like this.
So they'll just move the goalposts, not remove them entirely? Isn't it a bit difficult to make accurate projections when the current state of things is totally unprecedented? In any case, thanks for giving me hope. Hope helps me cope. I really shouldn't doubt our political class. They always do right in the end. God bless America.

How did that end up working out for the mcflurry machine robot they already have installed?
I guess you could say that syntactically it's like lisp, only backwards and without the parens. But the deeper truth is that concatenative programming and procedural programming (or functional, I suppose, depending on your preferred lisp flavor) are very different paradigms that lead to fundamental differences in how you structure your code.

I haven't used Forth in anger for over two decades now, but in some ways I do miss how the language felt even more hackable than a good lisp, while simultaneously being easy to reason about at a low level. That said, the RPN and stack manipulation definitely make it a bit of a brain teaser, especially at first. In that sense it reminds me of Prolog and APL and, for that matter, Lisp: they're languages where the greatest joy of learning them is the way they force you to think in very different ways, and how that can promote epiphanies about computation.

I would need to spend more time grokking this language to really understand, but it appears that the author has effectively achieved something that's semantically equivalent to Forth, but has a lot of syntactic commonality with Lisp. That's rather compelling to me from a "eliminates the first and most noticeable stumbling block for newcomers" perspective. That said, I'm having to repress a bit of a desire to react the same way parts of the Racket community did when Matthew Flatt announced his infix syntax project. Is a key part of Forth's concatenative nature lost when the syntax itself is no longer concatenative? I don't know, and I'll admit it's very doubtful that I'll spend enough time with Forsp to find out. But it's an interesting thought, all the same.

I've built an app for sharing files with other people. You don't need to send them via email or upload them through time-consuming apps but in a very simple way with few clicks!
Files are in your dashboard in lists, pick those that you want to send and create a link for the page with files with title and description. You will have always access to this link and the files in it.

All best.

OpenBSD Extreme Privacy Setup
I built a custom RP2040-based board by designing it KiCad and then sending it off to JLCPCB to be fabbed and they assembled the SMT components. I didn't do a direct comparison, but it was cheap - cheap enough that it's possible that getting the board pre-assembled from JLC was cheaper than buying the raw parts in low quantities from Digikey and assembling it myself (which, given my experience level, would be pushing the edge of my capabilities). I made a second run recently and even added some through-hole to the assembly and the board cost was still single digit dollars per board. The major problem was that shipping prices from JLC seem to have gone up significantly in the past year.

Keep in mind that it's not just the RP2040 that is difficult to solder. To do a decent PCB layout you'll need to use very small passives in order to get the placement right. I did my layout with mostly 0402 resistors and capacitors - I know plenty of people are capable of hand-soldering those but I think it would be difficult for most. Perhaps easier if you had a decent microscope, which I do not have yet. I don't think my magnifying visor would be nearly enough.
I'm going to need some independent confirmation. If this is true it's beyond parody.

Edit: welp.
