Three ways to stop helping Elon Musk erode truth
What are your thoughts on Oakland now?
Some of the earth is made from space rocks; early planet forming and moon forming collisions, and later impact crater scale chunks.

Some of the earth is decayed earlier material - radon gas formed here on earth as a daughter product from uranium in granite.

Some of the earth has been created by man on earth in the atomic age ... all those extra elements tacked to the end of the periodic table.
True. Next, don't forget that airplanes cover about 3x the distance as cars per hour. So, per mile they are on par with bad cars, and about 2x normal cars.

Apple has also been hard at work developing new ways to gatekeep users from running their own software. [3] macOS updates are also widely known to be small, quick to install, and never leave the computer unbootable. [4] /s

I, like the author, have had Chromebooks for many years. They are, bar none, the most easy to use and secure by default computer I have ever used.

Chromebooks are cheap and are supported for longer than any Windows/macOS release and the update process is utterly seamless and without issue.

It has all but removed IT support requests from my elderly relatives. The worst thing they can do is install a sketchy Chrome extension, but that's painless to remove compared to malware.

Not at all surprising considering how much larger the bus is. Bus F9-2 is the regular V2-mini, 4.1 m by 2.7 m, and Bus F9-3 is the one with D2C and it's 7.4 m long.
Are these numbers that important when you're privately owned and slashing costs? I guess the motivators are different to a VC backed or publicly traded company.

Completely agree. JPEG-only is insufficient. PNG-only is insufficient. An adaptive codec would apply a right algorithm to an area depending on its properties.

I suppose than the more modern video compression algorithms apply such image analysis already, to an extent. I don't know how e.g. VNC or RDP work, but it would be naural for them to have provisions like that co save bandwidth / latency, which is often in a shorter supply than computing power.

Of existing still image codecs, JPEG XL seems to have the right properties[1]: the ability to split image to areas and / or layers, and the ability to encode different areas either with DCT or losslessly. But these are capabilities of the format; I don't know how well existing encoder implementations can use them.

I should clarify, bad wording on my end.

I don’t think Apple made the T2 chip specifically to make Linux harder to install, just that they changed a bunch of stuff that made it harder to install another OS. Linux being hard to install was incidental, but I don’t think it was an explicit goal at Apple to make it difficult.
I glossed over the "Apple" dimension of elevating plastic stuff to luxury goods by being amazingly careful about injection molding marks etc, but I don't know a lot about it. I think the daring fireball guy is the recognized expert on the consumer experience side of it.

But if you haven't gone into things like statistical theory (more than ISLR), probability, metric theory, optimization, and so on, it is quite difficult to see how these help you in the same way it's hard to see what's on a shelf above you. It can also be difficult to explain how these help if you lack the language.

ChromeOS is Linux, as it's running the Linux kernel. As is Android for that matter. But anyway, Google doesn't let you run random binaries you download on ChromeOS, outside of a limited sandbox, making it more secure than a distro that lets you run curl | sudo sh outside of a VM.

There are some other security shaped things they do as well.

That's what a lot of people don't get about introverts. Yes, I interact with people, and yes, I leave the house. I just interact with certain smaller set of people which I am not eager to extend on each opportunity (it may happen, but slower), and I leave the house when I feel like it - which may happen less frequently than some other people, so what.
Oh man, I tried to use WARP for a project and it was the most confused, hard to understand product I've seen for a while. After a couple of hours of reading unhelpful support pages and trying increasingly random settings I simply gave up and used tailscale instead, which worked instantly.

I mean it makes lots of sense. I'm in South Bay and the amount of vacant corporate buildings around here is ridiculous. The property prices have to be falling through the floor. Lots of companies substantially downsized their footprint during covid as they're now either partially or completely work from home places now, meaning they need a lot fewer seats in the office.
why not?

Good here doesn't mean the music is to your tastes, or has some subjective level of sophistication or technical prowess.

The objective measure of how good it is can only be compared using commercial successfullness. If sufficient people are willing to shell out for the music, then it must mean it's good.

A pencil eraser is a well-known remedy in all kinds of circles.

A friend brings me his crashy scratch-built computer. I take the lid off, use a pencil eraser on the DIMMs, and reassemble it. It's fine after that, minus a couple of atoms or so of gold plating thickness.

As long as it's a good pencil eraser, anyway -- some leave a smeary mess.

25 years or so ago, I was reading that the cart socket on the Nintendo used repurposed regular card-edge parts; parts that were never meant to work at multiple angles. I don't know the validity of this, since I haven't yet restored either of the two NESs that I have here (both of which I should have sold -- even broken and dirty -- during the NES Mini craze).

I've thus never had a good, stern look at that socket.

(But back in the 1980s, between us young kids and our electronics-luddite dad and a phone call to Nintendo, isopropyl was the answer.)
Maybe read the article?

This phenomenon should have a high rate of anecdotal evidence induced by confirmation bias: You are in a group, a crowd, and suddenly the thought that you're being watched crosses your mind; you look around and, sure enough, that one person is staring at you, quickly averting their eyes like they're being caught in the act. The explanation being, of course, that that other person's attention got caught by your movement, and they don't want to 'be that guy' who stares at other people, so they quickly look elsewhere.

You are conflating too many things and casting a wide net. You are right in that there's too many specialists, but again, they are behaving like rational actors in a game that is rigged against them. Why not understand how the rigged game came to be instead ?

Do you know the history of why hospitals are nonprofits ?
Do you know the history of socialized medicine ? Hint: its not pretty, at all.
What other industries you see outpacing inflation ? Hint: its not cell phones, cars, or airplane tickets.

I'd recommend looking deeper into those 3 if you really want to understand the causes and the philosophy that is driving spending in lamborghini healthcare. Because what you are advocating is going to literally break patient service. We are already seeing a version of that disaster in the UK, and more recently, in CAN.

Its lovely to waive the "they are too greedy" index finger. Its simple. It is comforting because it is binary and assigns blame. Yet the world is more complicated than that.

But who's not greedy ? Are you not greedy as a dev with 250K ? Who are these angels that are not greedy? Where do these angels live ? Its funny that its always the other person that is greedy, its never the one saying the word.
If you are wealthy enough to throw parties with security, guest lists, 200+ people, it's a rounding error. Extremely cost effective and useful. People purchase palatial estates primarily to throw huge parties and events, to impress the elites. It's not usually to walk around a mansion for your own private enjoyment (at least for those with penthouses in major cities).
Well yeah, mostly that it has a ton of actors and setpieces (and a horse!) for what AFAICT is a joke product. I mean, it's perhaps not a joke, but... surely anyone who actually wanted to be a touring musician with this kind of music would just load up sounds onto a regular board? Is "musicians who don't even know the genre they'll use professionally yet" a valid market in the first place?

And it consists of short, highly composed shots, which is how non-professional (read: non-Sora) AI videos are these days. They create the individual images then animate them into 2-4 second clips with slight, predictable movement.
There’s an interesting discrepancy here.

Human users are charged by the number of messages, so longer responses are preferable because follow up questions use up your message allowance.

We have two battery chainsaws and a pole saw at home and ~ 30+ battery tools, from a garden vacuum (fail), 3 blowers, augers, battery ride on mower etc

Also do commercial gardening work, battery is not fit for purpose in a business. If you want a leafy city, it's not electric at this stage.

So much so I find this hard to believe "California ban on certain gas-powered tools", but too lazy to Google.

Random trivia, of the battery tools we have battery chainsaws do pretty good for length time. Don't really have a good mental model why? I guess cutting wood is not "work", moving air like in a blower is "work"
In previous incidents I’ve seen cases of customers who had contracted with their customers to giving them 90 days notice of any changes to certificates.

Oakland is more affordable for artists now than San Francisco but not even close to what San Francisco was in the 80s. But it's a very different time. I find myself occasionally trying to relive that and having to remind myself it's gone.

Oakland has crime now but 80s San Francisco had the drug wars with actual machine gun battles between the now gone high rise projects on Army (now Caesar Chavez).
I did not say exceptions could be resumed (correctly 'restarted'); I said conditions could. Most languages with which I'm familiar do not have the latter.

One typically available restart is to ignore the condition and resume execution immediately after, as you describe. Another is to re-evaluate the form in which the condition was signaled. In that case, the conditional may well be itself re-evaluated with a different result, executing a different branch.

This is not the correct way to evaluate policies; if I get a law passed that specifies that you may not date, marry, or reproduce, by definition you have no legitimate claim to those things, but I hope you'll agree that the law is harming you anyway.

You’re not totally wrong, just mostly. I use Apple stuff. I bought an EP-133 at launch. That part was true.

I also spent thousands of hours with a MIDI setup on my Amiga when I was in high school, teaching myself how to program the little FM synth my parents bought me for Christmas, and learning the theory of what makes a drum pattern sound good.

I don’t have thousands of hours available anymore. I still want to dabble sometimes though. Those are skills I worked very hard to learn, I enjoy exercising them, and I don’t want them to atrophy. That specific Teenage Engineering device has all the things I want to play with in a single portable box that also manages to be dirt cheap for what all it does.

Some people drive BMWs because they want to be seen driving them. Others drive them because — get this — turns out they’re nice cars to drive. At $300, my EP-133 isn’t exactly the BMW of musical instruments. It still does a hell of a job of scratching my musical itch. I couldn’t care less if anyone else ever sees me playing with it. I hope they never do. I got it for me, to enjoy, to make (bad) music with so I can get songs out of my head and into my ears. Sorry-not-sorry if that’s not “real musician” enough for some. I don’t care. I’m still having fun.

> Why would I care about whether something is a "human thing" or not?

I can't say why "you" care. That's part of the human element itself, the awareness and ability to reject what may have been thousands of years of evolution. e.g. that cooked meat tastes better to suggest that it's better to cook meat than eat it raw. That salting meat acts a preservative that happens to taste good, while rotting meat smells putrid.

Now as for why "I" care: Culture is identity, and identity is one of the key factors of sentience. Otherwise what makes us different from a beast or a robot?

Food is one of the oldest cultural values and can say a lot about personal, familial, and societal values at that place and time. It gives legacy and a sense of identity. An identity of optimized bland food with all nutrional substenance speaks to a world in ruin, a world with so little leisure that cooking is an extreme luxury, if not a thing of the past for that society.

Unless we're exploring the cosmos, that's not really a message I'd want to send of my time.
