>but it’s not necessarily reasonable to spend decades building layers and layers of models that assume X at the most basic level.

If the only option for finding out better evidence for or against X is by building those models and watching them either keep matching observations or finding a contradiction that can lead to the downfall of X as the suspect, then it is if you want to progress science any further.

Maybe there is another area that will give results faster, but much of the easy and fast science has already been science. And if someone finds a better option we missed, which does happen from time to time, add some rigor to it, verify it with testing, and they'll likely have themselves a Nobel prize.
I want to make something similar but that works via bluetooth with any phone and that can dial a pre-programmed number, it could be small enough to make it a pendant or a wristband.
Whoa, No-Go: Evidence of model-based strategy use in horses in inhibitory task
We're talking about the ideal chapter length. Yes, chapter length is easy to quantify. But what about chapter idealness? If we want to discover the ideal chapter length using statistics, we need a way to quantify how effective (or "ideal") a chapter is, and we need ways to control for all the variables that might skew the ideal chapter length (genre, style, etc).

Of course, these ways don't exist. "What is an effective chapter" isn't even a question with a single answer—it depends on the author's goals (to inform, to entertain, to provoke a very specific feeling, etc). So anyone who tried to pull out a "chapter idealness in relation to word count" graph in an academic context would be laughed out of the room, and justifiably so.
I think that's fine, though. Maybe we should have different platforms. Maybe we have a platform just for people who post stuff out of love for their craft, and don't expect any sort of compensation. And then we have a platform for people who want to monetize, and the platform itself has a subscription fee that gets distributed to creators based on views, or... something. Anything, really.

Maybe this could all be YouTube, but creators decide on a per-video basis whether they're uploading publicly or only to paid viewers. I dunno, there are so many other models.

The current situation with YouTubers asking people to subscribe to their Patreon or whatever is so weird, since often they have to distribute patron perks outside of YouTube, or via unlisted links, or whatever. I assume Google hasn't built in paid subscriptions option for fear of anti-trust regulation, but an integrated solution like that would likely be better for both creators and viewers.
The keynote seems to only focus on the Pixel 9 software capabilities.

Honestly, why is this important? Aside from all the AI hype, I don't see why the event should be so focused on features that are purely software updates that will most likely propagate to other non Pixel devices.

It's just a bummer that the event focused so much on the AI features instead of the HW capabilities: probably they don't have much to show this year.

I just hope they fixed the numerous HW issues the previous Pixel devices had (e.g: overheating, radio, ...)
Even if you managed to charge people (or their SAR insurances) tens of thousands of dollars per rescue, I'm not sure that would entirely pay for running such a service.

But I suspect their actual business model will be to charge for non-emergency messaging, which might just be able to subsidize the emergency use case.

Tangentially related, but I will say that I was pleasantly surprised by how well Airpods (at least the original ones) worked with Android phones.

I got the original Airpods about a year before I switched to iPhone, and they worked pretty much flawlessly with my Galaxy S8+. I assume they missed Siri-specific features (which I don’t care for even after switching to iPhone), and the newer ones probably miss some other more advanced/iOS-specific features (like Apple’s implementation of spatial audio and speech awareness). But all the actual main functionality was there, and I never felt like I was missing out by not using Airpods with iOS.

Apple Watch is a different story though, but it kinda makes sense, given how tightly integrated into iOS it is with quite a bit of private health data (that I would never trust Android with managing properly).
« It’s too sweet » falls into the same measurable phenomenon, and yet remains highly subjective
Voice acting (dubbing) is acting, which is a "high form of labor". In some languages/countries, most of the dubbing is performed by a few extremely good voice actors.

Yeah, it was clearly insensitive of Gamow. He probably didn’t even consider how it would upset Alpher. And I bet Bethe was also surprised to later find out that it caused bad blood.

You're missing the point. Live DS/A interviews are not about whether or not you can solve that particular problem. They are about evaluating how you approach and work through a novel task. How do you handle ambiguity? Are you able to talk through and explain the decisions you make? How are you able to adapt if the parameters of the problem are changed slightly? Do you have a notion of how your code will consume resources (CPU, Memory, Disk, Network, Time) as the amount of input grows?

The problem itself is simply the medium by which the interviewer tries to understand these things about you.

The fact that most FAANG companies don't even have you run your code during the interview should clue you into this.
Good. Anyone saying otherwise has likely not read the details of the case.
Where is liquid fresh water besides lakes and rivers?
I think the biggest thing is that programmers can safely assume that a floating point `x-y` is nonzero if `x != y`. You can actually go farther and know that it's an exact computation (with no error) if the two are close [1]. But both results only hold if subnormals don't flush to or behave like zero.

It's not too hard to imagine how an algorithm might depend upon that — there could be a branch for the case where `x == y` and then a branch that relies upon dividing by `(x-y)` and assumes that it's not a division by zero.

That number of children surviving to adulthood* has not been our experience for the last few millennia — we had far more births, but most died before they grew up and became parents themselves, leading to the estimated population of the world only doubling from 200 million in 1 AD to 400 million in 1000 AD, which would be 2.035 children per woman (assuming 25 year generational gap).

If it had been 2.4 children per woman* over that time frame, the current world population would have been 200e6 * (2.4/2)^(1000/25) = about 300 billion in 1000 AD, and 200e6 * (2.4/2)^(2024/25) = 514 trillion today.

> elderly don't only consume resources but also directly compete for them with the youth (the other class of people who consume without producing) which makes the fertility economics even worse.

Only if the elderly continue to consume pensions. If the economy collapses, pensioners protesting or voting for the other party in a democracy stops being an interesting threat, for the same reason they weren't much of a threat in 1889 when people were first taking ideas like "state pension" (in their modern usage and not e.g. medieval almshouses, and universal not e.g. what the Romans did for the military) seriously.

* I know I didn't mention "surviving to reproductive age" before, but that distinction is more of relevance to historical comparisons than future ones. I have no reason to think infant mortality will go up, after all.
Yes. This process is also known as "thinking about it," and it often proves useful when data-driven approaches fail.

What's even worse for me is that it regularly "forgets" how to respond to queries that it could serve perfectly well before, especially related to smart home things.

"Play <local radio station x> on living room stereo" has been hit and miss for my parents to the point where I regret setting them up with a Chromecast-supporting AV receiver and Google Nest speaker. They now just use the regular remote and listen to the station via FM.

I’m sure there are many out there like me, but I used to prefer smaller phones until I used a larger phone for one generation; after trying to move back to a smaller phone, I just missed the real estate of a larger screen.

I abhor all these phones with a glass back, that look great in the store and then everyone puts an ugly back cover on.

I'm still rocking a Pixel 5, which is actually my second Pixel 5. I really like using it without a case. It's light, small, can handle a fall without the back shattering, and I like the matte finish.

All I want is a version with more modern specs, but every manufacturer keeps optimizing for the advertising shots, and people keep falling for this. Right now the camera is the only thing tempting me to upgrade, but I'll probably wait another year.
Agreed; I don't get the GP's aversion here. To me, ads -- especially ads embedded in the regular flow of a video -- are one of the most disrespectful things you can do to your audience. Asking for voluntary subscription payments (perhaps with some added perks beyond what you'd get as a free viewer) sounds like the best model possible. People will pay if they find your content valuable and can afford the expense. Sure, there are a lot of people who will freeload, but that's just life. If you don't find that acceptable, then you need to put more of your content behind a paywall.

If you can't make enough money to be satisfied with the Patreon model, and that makes you want to create less, maybe that's the correct outcome.

Historically I have never used carrier commitments and paid for phones outright but did it for the first time earlier this year with a targeted offer to get a iPhone 15 Pro from Verizon for basically a couple hundred bucks in taxes. Mostly because it felt like I was getting worst of both worlds paying for a single line Verizon post paid plan without taking advantage of any upgrade offers after my BYOD deal expired.

But I'm now regretting it especially because I'm getting tired of constantly missing notifications on my iPhone being so used to persistent notification indicators on Android. Planning to use T-Mobile to buy me out of my device payment plan once I get around to 800 dollars owned on my 15 Pro because being I hate how I'm locked in to a premium plan I don't come close to making full use of. I still have an unlocked S23 Ultra I can switch back to as my main phone if I decide to.
Alright I will do it because I don't like seeing needless toxicity at the first comment on a thread. I wasn't even aware of this drama until I read your comment.

Valve is a weird company, and gamers can be weird people. DotA had a culture where doxxing icefrog is really looked down upon. Valve games tend to have these sorts of cultures and quirks.

Needless to say, valve created a relatively accessible way to play their game under development. Most companies don't do this. All Valve requested was to not publicize the game. If you are a gaming journalist, and you break this sort of online etiquette, which is very well established thing for Valve, then you get to be called out for being a dick.

> they chose not to in this instance

because as you said it is kinda silly and the game is an open secret. Doing this is not part of their culture, but the openness accessibility of their betas is.

> a popular new game by Valve is properly newsworthy to report upon

sure, verge has good traffic reasons to do this. gamers also have a reason to criticize this because they want to keep the way Valve does things. It is very unique.

> most don't realize that the and "Valve banned me" update is tongue-in-cheek and not the author being genuinely upset

What makes you say this? I think most people are just using this line to mock the author because they are angry nerds lol. Doesn't really matter what the intent of the author was.

So much of online gaming culture would be understood with just this line:

"If you don't wanna get flamed, don't break the ritual"

I think that's an artifact of the problem statement. For example, "length check while receiving or in the process of decompressing" eliminates things like websockets from the equation entirely.

>but it does mean we should refrain from assuming it must be true

A good scientist will tell you that we don't assume it is truth. Instead, it is the closest thing to truth we can get at this time, but we are always seek better. But like a limit, we can only ever approach closer and never arrive at truth. As the other poster mentioned, we don't have a way to open up the source code of the universe.

Some scientists get a bit too attached to theories and can move them from "closest we currently have to truth" to "truth", but I think the bigger issue is that the non-scientists involve in transmitting science too often present it as truth, instead of the best approximation we currently have. Often because fake confidence beats out measured modesty, and the one claiming to have truth is more convincing than the one saying we can't know truth and only better approximate it.

A scientist will say science is true for the sake of simplifying the philosophy of science to those unfamiliar with it, but any scientist who thinks they have captured objective truth has lost the philosophical foundations of science.

Seconding the Garmin rec - though stay away from new 265/965/Epic, which have the same OLED screen and resultant "shake it all about" and then wait a blink to see the time issue as Pixels and Apple watches, and stick to Fenix/Forerunner x55 MIPS displays for weeks-long battery life with always-on display. And no need to update every 2 years.

It's the other way around for me. I refuse to get a phone from my carrier.

Phones "free" with a contract are just disguised loans. The loan is hidden in your monthly sub, which is why you have to be locked from anywhere from 1 to 2 years.

Also I don't want to have carrier bloatware on my phones, and I don't want my phones to be locked to a carrier.

I pay my carrier only for the network. I pay for my phones.

Definitely looks like a great idea, fuel cells with something that doesn't outright explode if you look at it wrong. The shortcoming would be the energy density I would expect. But even so if there's something that can maybe be half as good as lithium but can be refuelled in seconds by just filling up a tank there's definitely a market for it.
> Presumably you sign the emails rather than encrypt them?

That's correct, encrypted and signed. Replaying wouldn't be easy because the payload contains a timestamp. The main purpose was to limit the networks which can attempt to connect to ssh and still allow me to have a fallback if I'd happen to be outside of the "usual" network ranges.
Waymo does not have cherry picked routes - it has a defined ODD inside which is ANY route can be driven fully unsupervised.

This necessarily involves some kind of generalized driving algorithm but more usefully, it gives you a clear goal and distribution to measure against.

Oddly enough there is an official Android app for Beats headphones, which use the exact same Apple SoCs as AirPods ever since Apple acquired them. They surely could extend that app to work with AirPods too but they've seemingly made the arbitrary decision not to.
Note that's not always the case: eSIMs I got from Nomad and Airalo in Europe/UK last year were routing things via Hong Kong, so things like DDG and google search using the SIM geolocated me to Hong Kong all the time, and the latency was noticeably bad.

If you read the reviews of some of the eSIMs there are quite a few mentions of this happening.
