There is a difference or Recall would be redundant, and you and they wouldn't care about it so much. It wouldn't exist. Your insistent advocacy and what you are demanding people accept, in Recall's supposed relative insignificance, are incongruent.

Second, this situation doesn't fall under the definition of hypocrisy. It's more like date rapist's logic: "She didn't reject me when I kissed her while she was passed out, and so she's a hypocrite if she denies me sex". TF is your problem, honestly.

Third, again see "boundaries" and people's right to them without needing to tolerate browbeating. Only weirdos and abuser types ignore firmly stated boundaries, and try to move past them via abuse tactics.

> None of you have yet managed to answer what differences, if any, exist between Recall and All The Other Tracking Siphoning Things(tm) most of us either accept or tolerate.

I wasn't aware that an answer to your nonsense question was required in order to justify Recall's popular rejection. It isn't. However, the answer is that nothing else in the base OS is creating a word for word, second to second, record of what is on one's screen to include passwords. And if it is, that should be made widely known so that it also has a chance to be broadly rejected.

>I am asking you all a question and so far noone has managed to answer it. If none of you can answer what exactly about Recall makes it unacceptable unlike All The Others(tm), your logic is flawed.

Your "flawed logic" premise is rejected.

The assertion that your question is not sufficiently answered is rejected, but irrelevant regardless.

You need people to accept Recall, for some bizarre reason. Beyond the already presented logic, they simply don't have to.

To state that your logic is flawed would be polite. More accurately, its nonexistent. You resort to browbeating as a replacement for it.

> Whether I can persuade you is irrelevant, the commons still do not fucking care about digital privacy. Seriously. That's the reality. It's like how the Earth will spin and keep spinning no matter what any of us do.

And yet here you are.

>One of Recall's biggest marketing spiels is that it's all stored and processed locally.

Few if any who comment on either side of this fake argument trust MS or those who are above it, if they are being honest. MS spent its trust currency long ago, and no one owes it to them.

Even if they're focused on theoretical CS they should still be using git to upload their tex files somewhere in 2024. And from an undergrad degree I'd expect both an OS class and an algorithm or datastructurs course that would use some kind of VCS.

Ask HN: How to navigate co-founder model with ambiguous roles?
It's an early stage bootstrapped startup with two co-founders and an advisor (48/48/4 split). I met the co-founder through work, we worked together for nearly 1.5 years before he was laid-off. We both come from technical background, and have both good experience in building 0 to 1 products.

I had always talked about how I want to start my own startup. After layoffs we were casually talking, and about a month ago we decided to start exploring what we could do.

Initially we explored couple of ideas in industries which both of us were somewhat familiar with. But nothing really stuck. Co-founder found this niche in healthcare which seems promising, so we decided to explore further. Since neither of us were SMEs, we agreed to set aside 4% equity for an advisor (contingent on revenue goals), who can help us gain more exposure & industry contacts.

Since the co-founder is more familiar with the industry (it was their minor during college) and has free 9-5, he took the lead on discovery work around user interviews. Since I'm good with arts & tech, I helped with some creative stuff and setting up some dev basics. I'm good at finance stuff, so I took a lead on creating a cap table and accounting spreadsheets.

Recently we experienced some friction, mostly because I felt a certain lack of collaboration. We never really discussed the insights from user interviews or path ahead. Co-founder started writing down PRD and designing wireframes. Some of the scheduled interviews were flaky, which frustrated the co-founder, so he decided to cancel them and decided he has enough information to move forward.

Again, I don't know much about the industry, I am still trying to catch up on industry jargon and understanding the problem space. To my co-founder the problem space is very obvious to get started. I have lot of questions about the vision, the product, the approach etc. If he had product or design experience, maybe I would have more faith. In past he has mocked PMs couple of times (jokingly). I critiqued wireframes he shared, which he brushed off saying these are very early stage and I don't understand design process. I asked how come these wireframes had so much styling if they were early wireframes. He replied, it can't be helped if they become high fidelity more he organizes the diagrams.

Co-founder blames this on me having a 9-5 as he has more time to explore and move fast. But that seems tad unfair because I try to set aside weekends and 5-9 to this venture, while he's only available 9-5 on weekdays.

My first question is, should I keep letting him forge ahead while I lack clarity around vision & product decisions?

My second question is, how should I set & enforce boundaries around finances? Till now he hasn't spent that much money but there's been no discussion on any of the expenses. I'm concerned that if we get credit cards, I might just end up seeing larger line items we never talked about.
But how do you know that code do what it is pretend to do without reading it. The article make me think over trusted the other
It works out pretty well in theory. Even at minimum wage the cost of the driver is a lot of the cost of the taxi ride. It does all hinge on the cost of the vehicles + the cost of monitoring + the cost of maintenance being low enough to offset this though. Cost of vehicle is higher in the case of waymo but even 3x the cost is still useful, cost of monitoring is probably still a bit high at the moment but is the main thrust of improving the tech, and maintenance is not necessarily much worse than a normal taxi.
us vs them has an ad cross section too! … read the article?

Think about the last time you used someone else’s device in your family, or watch them use it… listen to the “news” they get and ask if they get different news than you. Ask why they believe what they believe, unjudgementally and with curiosity. This fact finding mission will surprise you.

It might be true certain people are less discerning than you, but I can guarantee that the small difference in discerning is not a linear effect in the distortion they see the world with.

The car tires thing is proportionally an absurdly huge part!

> In Switzerland, tire wear accounts for an estimated 90 percent of the microplastics released into the environment.

https://www.admin.ch/gov/en/start/documentation/media-releas...

90% (!) of microplastics in Switzerland’s environment are from tire abrasion.

If we hypothetically radically banned cars, we would not only reduce landscape fragmentation, space requirements in public spaces, accidents and risks, damages to humans and animals, costs that are borne by the public, noise pollution and particulate matter air pollution, but also we would cut down microplastic emissions by 10:1!

Buldak 2x is a regular (~1.5x a month) go to of mine. It's strongly spicy sure but I definitely felt like the thread above was heralding it in as some great destroyer of mouths and that hot praise was over the top too me. Selling the premise too hard. I would never have guessed it's so worthy of note, much less controversial/bannable.

I have not tried the 3x, did not know it existed.
Way back in my matriculation, I saw the same behavior but written in terms of CVS, even. As some other posters have written, CS, as it is purely taught, doesn't often touch on the realities of software engineering and delivery.

IMO, it should. An education without any relation to practical skills just makes it that much harder to leverage what you learn.

It could be they are working at a level higher than you understand.

Not being snarky, but the elite schools are significantly advanced.

Imagine learning algorithms from Knuth (yes, I know he hasn't taught undergraduates in 50 years). Looking at the results after being taught by Dr. Smith at Generic State University, you might be unable to recognize the genius.
You edit using ProRes or some other kind of RAW proxy, which is then either high enough quality to be used directly, or at the end of the process what is basically a list of instructions can be issued by the software to perform all the operations required on the uncompressed file, offline/non-realtime. Then it doesn’t matter so much about the power of the machine because it just crunches the data, albeit for hours on end.
I don't think there are any off the shelf drones that would be useful in a long range setting, e.g. the naval settings described in the article.
Everyone understands a queen is worth more than a pawn. Even if you don't know the exact value of one piece relative to another, the rough estimate "a queen is worth five to ten pawns" is a lot better than not assigning value at all. I highly doubt even 20 year old chess engines or beginner projects value a queen and pawn the same.

After that, just adding up the material on both sides, without taking into account the position of the pieces at all, is a heuristic that will correctly predict the winning player on the vast majority of all possible board positions.

One of the early assignments for an introduction to scientific computing course I teach has a Rickroll link -- I added it as a light-hearted way to see who's actually working through the materials in a detailed way.
I disagree completely.

First of all, the Economist has correspondents all over the globe for their foreign reporting. Virtually every piece about a country is written by a reporter in that country. And reporters covering a country are often foreigners as well. So of course it was written in Shenzhen, this is how all their articles are written. But the Economist is a British publication.

And second, there is nothing propagandistic whatsoever about the article. It's simply reporting the facts of how Huawei has responded to America's sanctions -- at length and in great factual detail.

Here are the concluding paragraphs:

> America’s policymakers are also learning from their mistakes. The gradual ratcheting-up of sanctions on Huawei, and especially the 28-month gap between the announcement of the most severe measures in 2018 and their implementation in 2020, gave the firm lots of time to prepare, China hawks lament. But the bigger lesson from Huawei’s torment has not yet sunk in: that cutting the firm off from Western technology did not stifle it, but instead increased its incentives to innovate.

> China is still years behind the West in chipmaking. Sanctions on high-powered semiconductors have raised costs and slowed the uptake of ai for thousands of firms, as intended. Hubble’s investments are still far from replacing Western lithography machines and other components. But if Huawei was a worry when America first declared war, it is a bigger one now.

This isn't pro-CCP at all. Rather it's pointing out the flaws in how America implemented its policy, and the risk that it's actually backfired in the long term -- and that America might need new and better thinking here for containing China's technological progress.

If you were pro-CCP, you wouldn't want to publish an article like this at all, because you wouldn't want people in the US to even become aware that the sanctions had actually increased innovation within Huawei. As they say, never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.

> emotional reaction -> rationalized argument -> action

This reminds me of a trap that I myself am mindful to avoid, and to be gracious of when done by others - motivated reasoning.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motivated_reasoning

Ironically/paradoxically, a graceless or haughty (over)correction can undermine our own efforts to correct this in ourselves and especially in others, so I would agree that meditation and general mindfulness practice as well as empathy are helpful in understanding and empowering us to overcome these hurdles in interpersonal dynamics.

Wouldn't it be easier that the whole part which holds the seats would be modular. So you get in your seat and the whole seat part with 300 or so seats is pushed into the plane on a rail. Fastened with whatever at X points and the plane is ready to go.

My understanding is that the Hale cycle is just a complete "360° flip" of 2 "180° flips". I.e. the 11 year cycle is essentially going from "mostly dipole" (but say with north magnetic direction going one way) to irregular and then back to mostly dipole, but this time with magnetic north pointing in the opposite direction. The next 11 year cycle gets magnetic north pointing back "up" again.
>>Your views on Musk changed precisely when everyone else's did

NO they did not. If I was like you, I'd over-generalize and say that "you are just like every other right-wing nutter who only believes a limited view of the world and must slam any other view, regardless of how disconneced from the facts..."

But I won't. I'll explain that my view changed when Musk went from delivering as much or more than he claimed, as was the case with early SpaceX and Tesla. to massively over-promising and under-delivering, e.g., now nearly a decade late on his FSD, so late on Starship that his first cricumlunar customer already bailed, making inflated promises about AI, lying about OpenAI, delivering Cybertruck a half-decade late and with crappy quality, etc., etc., etc. One particular turning point was when he argued about software engineering in public with one of Twitter's lead engineers, and it was obvious to me (with some background in commercial software) that Musk was nothing but bluster and bullshit; it became clear he is not a master engineer, he's a master manipulator. I have far less respect for the latter.

As you can see, it has absolutely zero to do with whatever 'anti-establishment' carp you are ranting on about. But you seem to enjoy your fact-free life more, so carry on.
It teaches you how to build practically functional and maintainable software instead of the prototypes that are enough to pass other classes. It's one step beyond just programming.
The types of "neurotargeting" describes in the article - using data from emojis, personality tests, OCEAN models, fMRI studies - are all very noisy compared to what actually does work in advertising. You perturb the ad shown, measure conversions, and then just directly optimize for conversions. It's a variant of A/B testing described in the article, but you aren't comparing just two variants and having a human decide based on metrics, you're comparing thousands of variants and then training a machine learning model to predict conversion events.

All of the major online ad networks - Google, Facebook, etc - actually function like this, and have for the past 15 years. And it is effective to the tune of about $300B/year, looking at Google's ad revenue.
I think that it's equally the opposite: we undervalue true journalism, and have instead spent money on the diet version that is reduced to simply being propaganda.
My theory on Trump supporters is that it's confirmation bias and sunk cost fallacy.

Centrist Republicans and independents supported Donald Trump in 2016 because Hillary Clinton was a weak candidate. They may not have agreed or liked Trump as a person, but they voted for him.

But then, as Trump said and did increasingly extreme things, they had to create a narrative that post-hoc justified their support.

And he made 'The world is out to get him. He's been treated unfairly. Everyone else is lying' easier than 'I was taken in by a con man, who turned out to be even worse than I thought.'

Which is how 'I don't like the man, but I support his policies' voters became 'Everything about Jan 6 was fine' voters.

And why I try to inculcate a 'I am not a member of any political team or identity' in myself. Politics should be about policy, not brand.
Not initially, and indeed that was one of the major early criticisms of his theory. But he learned of Mendel's work after publishing his own - The Gene has a nice history of this.

Edit: I think you're focusing on the gene part too much. What's important is that inheritance is discrete, regardless of what actually carries it, rather than continuous. Mendel proved that part.

It’s true. Decoupling leads to the fragility before open trade.

By forcibly severing that you create a decoupling, which leads to more unilateralism, which leads to more war.

That is a lot more complicated for something that isn’t needed. These VTOL are for medium drones that currently operate from fields or ships. But not for full sized aircraft which are going to take off from runways. Which would be easier to work like F-35B.

There is advantage to take off vertically close to troops. I’ve been following V-BAT which is tail lander, and competing to replace recon drone that takes off from field. And only needs a couple people to operate.
