> In the absence of evidence that something else is causing the redshift, the assumption should be that it is a result of things moving away from us.

But that is not what our best current model of the universe actually says. Our best current model of the universe says that the observed redshift of a distant object tells us by what factor the universe expanded between the time the light was emitted and now (when we see the light). Viewing it as a Doppler shift is an approximation that only works for small redshifts (much less than 1).

Ahem. Cough.

Given Google's ties to Go, of course it was NOT opt-in when originally announced.

After, shall we say, a "lively" discussion on the relevant Github topic[1], it was changed to opt-in. :D

Opt-in is the correct stance.

That's fine, but it's also entirely different from saying that the phones are objectively unstable and bad for everyday use.

Thanks for your interest.

Not presently, but it's definitely something I can look into adding. I haven't used Godot much, but I see the momentum it has behind it (especially since the Unity scandal a few months ago) and it seems like Godot integration will become a more and more coveted feature.

For the time being, I welcome you to drop a comment about it in the feedback section at the bottom of the store page or to submit a feature request here: https://github.com/jbunke/stipple-effect/issues/new/choose
USB-C is the best. When I had to trade my Intel MacBook pro back into IT for a new M1 with a MagSafe connector, I told them I wanted to keep the USB-C charger. I didn't want another damn charger to carry around with me. They thought it was super weird that I would prefer USB-C, but it charges everything I carry with me.

Also I replaced a few receptacles in my house with ones that have USB-C ports on them. Then I never have to worry about them walking off...
> It blows me away that people will spend $1k for a phone when there are good options for $500 or less

Wait till you see how people spend $60k on a car when there are perfectly good options for $30k.

And people also spend much more time with their phones than in their cars.
I used an iPhone from launch to the iPhone SE3 and I can't recall there ever being a feature printed on the box or hyped by Steve Jobs on stage that did not work out of the box, or that later stopped working.
Good luck with that. Sure it's data, it's the worst possible data you could choose to make an informed decision. If you want to gain insight by selectively reported, highly biased reports of a tiny sample size, go for it.
I remember that my Dad wrote himself a clone of at least the wordstar functions that he used, he called it starword and ran it on his BBC micro.
The point is that's fine, and it is perfectly sustainable for people to do things they enjoy for free. It'd perhaps not be sustainable for someone to play video games as a full-time job, but maybe that's okay (or even desirable from a societal resource allocation standpoint)?
> The only known X that’s ever been discovered that can encompass all aspects of that Y at all energy levels is string theory.

This is not correct; string theory is not the only candidate we have for a theory of quantum gravity.
I call that the curse of examples. Often conflated with "being in the weeds." Is frustrating, as people will jump on you with the X-Y problem style discussions. Which, fair that that is sometimes apt. Probably more often than makes sense, honestly.

Still, I did the callout that I did not mean that as an argument on if they really wanted it because I think it is fair to explore the intent as stated. And I appreciate how hard it is to make examples.
>We literally exchanged callback hell to async hell, and said it was better, but I'm not strictly convinced of this.

It's obviously better. It's a bit unfortunate how much the history of the design decision shines through in the current solution, but it's unequivocally an improvement.

I would prefer an approach where calls to "async" functions are implicitly awaited unless a keyword turns then into a promise, and all functions are implictly treated as async as needed, unless a keyword specifies that they return a promise, which should be awaited instead. This would make the majority case clearer, and force you to make the minority case explicit where it's currently implicit.

I don't think this would help your coworkers who don't understand promises very much though.

My current phone, a Pixel 6 Pro, is becoming unusable due to screen flickering.* I have an unopened Pixel 8 Pro on my desk that I got for ~$700 after cashback during Prime Day last month, and I've been waiting for this launch so I could consider the possibility of returning it and getting the new model.

So far, looking at this, I can't find any differences between the 8 Pro and the 9 Pro XL that I think I'd actually notice. It would be kind of nice to get the smaller 9 Pro for the sake of my wrists, but not enough to pay an extra $400 for.

Am I missing anything? Or is this just a heavily hyped release of a tiny incremental upgrade?

*I'd be more inclined to hold this against Google and not get another Pixel if my previous phone, a Samsung flagship, hadn't died in approximately the same way after approximately the same lifespan.
OP here- my last two phones have been Moto G Power. I think the first one only cost $200! I value battery life and simplicity. As an Apple shareholder I prefer you buy an iPhone.
To be fair we do already know that energy is not globally conserved over cosmological timescales. (Energy conservation is a consequence of time invariance, but cosmological expansion breaks that symmetry.)

Fritz Zwicky attempted to propose a mechanism of tired light that was caused by Compton scattering off of the intergalactic medium. But these kinds of scattering mechanisms produce far too much blurring in the expected images of distant galaxies and galaxy clusters.
Thanks for this- lots of people on here are misunderstanding the concept of anti-fragility as the same as robustness, e.g. in a control system. They are not at all the same- anti-fragility is a system progressively improving in a lasting way in response to an appropriate stressor, e.g. like a weight lifter getting stronger from weight training, or getting weaker from skipping training. It is not robustiness but literally a negative fragility: a system whose function is impaired by lack of stress (e.g. fragile to lack of stress), and improved by stressors.
It doesn't matter how clever the AI is: the problem is mathematically impossible. The behaviour of some programs depends on Goldbach's conjecture. The behaviour of some programs depends on properties that have been proven independent of our mathematical systems of axioms (and it really doesn't take many bits: https://github.com/CatsAreFluffy/metamath-turing-machines). The notion of "algorithmic similarity" cannot be described by an algorithm: the best we can get is heuristics, and heuristics aren't good enough to get TDT acausal cooperation (a high-dimensional unstable equilibrium).

In practice, we can still analyse programs, because the really gnarly examples are things like program-analysis programs (see e.g. the usual proof of the undecidability of the Halting problem), and those don't tend to come up all that often. Except, TDT thought experiments posit program-analysis programs – and worse, they're analysing each other…

Maybe there's some neat mathematics to attack large swathes of the solution space, but I have no reason to believe such a trick exists, and we have many reasons to believe it doesn't. (I'm pretty sure I could prove that no such trick exists, if I cared to – but I find low-level proofs like that unusually difficult, so that wouldn't be a good use of my time).

> Remember that infinite precision is an infinity too and does not really exist.

For finite discrete systems, infinite precision does exist. The bytestring representing this sentence is "infinitely-precise". (Infinitely-accurate still doesn't exist.)
> And since then I've known to not build any new software that uses NI software[sic] and instead move towards anything else...

Do you mean "not to build any new software that uses NI hardware", or are you specifically averse to Emerson's software dev practices even though you trust them to produce good hardware?

On that note, who is your new preferred vendor for DAQ hardware? Some of the stuff that NI allowed you to build with cRIO or PC-based multifunction DAQ hardware like their PCIe-6321 etc. was pretty unique. There's not a lot of off-the-shelf gear for on the order of $1000 that can do 100 kHz digital/analog signal acquisition.

I like Delta Tau PMAC gear for electronic servo control (though their recent acquisition by Omron seems to be having a similar impact as I expect Emerson is having at NI) and Delta Motion for hydraulics (not yet bought out by anyone, they seem to successfully transition to employee-owned after Natchwey retired last year, but time will tell)... but neither is a true multifunction DAQ system like NI.

Whoah. Easy there cowboy.

It was not opt-in when originally announced.

After an extended, shall we say, "lively" discussion on Github[1], they did the right thing and made it opt-in.

> There is at least one known mechanism that cause Doppler WITHOUT moving: when the observer is in a gravity well

This is gravitational redshift, not Doppler shift. Doppler shift specifically means redshift due to an object moving away--but to really be correct that definition has to be limited to flat spacetime, or to a small enough region in a curved spacetime that the curvature can be ignored.
Personally I find notifications on a watch to be exceptionally annoying so I almost always have my watch set to sleep mode. The only thing I use the watch for is to tell the time, track my sleep, heart rate, and steps. I'm not sure if sleep mode affects the accuracy of the tracking but it does make my battery life last for a good 2-3 days.
I could realistically see myself replacing my phone with a 5g smartwatch. The hardware seems good enough, but tere's a few use cases that make me hesitant. If the ecosystem and support continues to improve I'll probably do that in a couple years.

I don't want to read through 11 years of comments, but what does observable effects does corrupting mxcsr have? Surely it's just enabling FTZ/DAZ mode for the FPU which could harm bit-exactness in floating point math... but in code that cares about it, it's not uncommon to see RAII guards to configure the behavior you want (and usually, it's desirable to not comply with IEEE754 w.r.t subnormal numbers).

Like it's a quirk that floating point math can be non-deterministic but how bad is it, and is it actually a bug?
> I did Apple development during those days as well, but I didn't use Borland tools for that, I used CodeWarrior.

Are you sure “those days” were the same days? Turbo Pascal for Mac was released in 1986 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_Pascal#Turbo_Pascal_for_...), CodeWarrior in 1994 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CodeWarrior#Release). By that time, I think Borland already had left the Mac market.
That's what I've gotten used to from my Garmin. It has a claimed 2 weeks of life, and I charge it once a week.

I pointed out the 48hr life because I loved the MS Band, and I can't think of anything it didn't do that any modern smart watch does for me that I actually care about. And it got the same or better battery life as is typical in the market today. And on much worse hardware.
my garmin is currently low and i have 4 days of battery life or 2-3 long runs with gps and bluetooth enable left. with physical shortcuts to payment and timers, i haven't worn my apple watch in weeks
I have to log in with a google account to view the product in their store? Kthxbye.
>I do worry that if this takes off it will just result in those sponsors pulling their budgets for this type of advertising, and it’ll be another nail in the coffin for creators.

I don't think I've ever purchased a product that I have seen advertised by a creator on YT that I hadn't already purchased before seeing it in a sponsored ad. That last bit I added because I used to use ExpressVPN and now I'm seeing some sponsored ads for it.

The deal has been made between the creator and the company already, it's been added to their video, so there should not need to be any noticeable affect from running sponsor block for people like myself who don't jump to buy advertised products when seeing them advertised by a creator I follow. Unless there is some kind of feedback that YT is giving the companies about who is viewing their sponsored ads, I guess, but I doubt that's happening. So my use of sponsor block (which I don't actually use - the right arrow button exists) shouldn't have any affect on sponsor finances that I can see.

I'm not against creators making money, but I don't want to see ads in videos placed by YT and I don't want to see them in videos by creators, but I understand they would like to make some money. I've given through Patreon to some creators, but I'm not going to do that for all of the dozens of creators I follow. If I could just press a button and tip a small amount to the creator when watching a video I really liked, using a payment method I've already set up, I'd start doing that in a heartbeat. But I don't know if such an animal exists.

It did; it caused the expansion to decelerate. That was true until a few billion years ago, when the matter density became smaller than the dark energy density and dark energy started to dominate the dynamics.

I didn’t say it’s the only theory of quantum gravity. You can get a theory of quantum gravity by taking standard QFT — it just won’t work at extremely high energies. Other options like loop quantum gravity do not reproduce the rest of our models about everything else.

I said it’s the only theory of gravity and everything else at all energy levels, and that’s true. In fact, you’ll notice I did not even use the term “quantum gravity” to avoid the exact confusion you fell into anyway.

It's crazy that I'm the first person in this sub-thread to mention Samsung, when they are by far the market leader in Android phones. They have decent options at pretty much every price point.

For some reason, HN and Reddit just hates this company, and I don't understand why. People talk about "bloat", because Samsung ships with their own apps for things like phone, clock, calculator, etc. But it's trivial to uninstall those, and/or set the Google stock Android counterparts as your system defaults.

People get all weird about One UI, but my son has a Pixel and I have a Galaxy and I honestly don't see much meaningful difference between the two (other than his phone getting hot as hell because Google's own Tensor silicon sucks). I just recently switched back to Android from Apple, perhaps these UI skins were further apart in the past?

I think a lot of contrarians just hate Samsung because it's the market leader, simple as that.

"Till We Have Faces" may have some influences from his grief, but the primary subject was theological in nature, dealing with a character whose life is filled with questions and complaints against divinity and how those seem to go unanswered. The conclusion underscores this:

> I ended my first book with the words no answer. I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You are the answer. Before your face the questions die away. What other answer would suffice?

("Till We Have Faces", pt 2. ch. 4)

It is a novel that is more an apologetic that deals with philosophic quandaries than anything relating to personal loss.
I've hit this point a few times, and I always advocate for cutting the losses and switching to embedding an existing interpreter. Lua and Lisp both have embeddings for most popular languages, Starlark is Python-y and embeddable, many languages can embed a Javascript engine.

Imo, users asking for stuff like loops is a signal that they want a real language and not a bolted-on DSL. I've seen far too many cases of "extending a DSL until it's a full-flegdged but awkward and horrible language".

Ansible's YAML and Terraform's are my prime examples. Both have grown into basically full languages featuring imports, for loops, etc, and both suck to use because of how awkward reaching for them is. I don't want to have to remember Ansible's bastardized, YAML-encoded for loop syntax, just let me use a Python for loop.

TBF that’s what Apple did, basically.

It wasn’t in the initial release. Needed a software update 2 months later or so.

You were only supposed to get 1 year (?) of service. But they extended that by a year.

Because of that everyone with a qualifying phone is still in the “free” stage so we still don’t know what it will cost. Or when that will start.

If ever.

I’ve never used it but I like that my iPhone has it. I would never carry a Garmin (city/suburb life, no point) but I know the satellite is there if needed.

I think Apple is expanding it to iMessage this year (text only) though for all we know that will cost extra.
Front Camera though, so mostly for video chats.
Apologies, I somehow missed the memo three years ago that Audible turned on in-app purchases(1). I was thinking of the pre-2021 policy.

I’m still pretty sure that if an app has zero financial interactions at all in the App Store that Apple has no limitations on how the app’s financials work outside of the app. But I can understand that once you want to do anything in app, Apple might have restrictions on hybrid models.

Correct. Globalstar is a "bent pipe analog repeater" network. They have ground gateway stations that provide connectivity from their satellites to the public switched telephone network and internet. In order for your handheld to work, you need a satellite in view and that satellite must have a ground gateway station in view. Iridium doesn't have that latter requirement. I won't be getting rid of my InReach Mini anytime soon.
