It's funny to think about how they've kind of figured out self-driving (something many said would be impossible for decades) but they haven't figured out parking in their own lots without the self-driving cars honking at each other.

As a dev, I experience this sort of thing daily with bugs popping up. But I work on websites. It's just another ball game when we're talking about cars keeping people awake.
You may wish to work on your reading comprehension. "Does not have multiband GNSS" is not the same as "no GPS", and the watch specifications clearly state is supports the GPS, Galileo, and Glonass satellites.
This didn't sound right, so I did the math.

The volume of all water is 1,386,000,000 km^3, which is then 1.386e+21 liters, or right about the same number of kilograms.

The mass of Earth is about 5.972e+24 kg. So the percent fraction by mass is 0.0232%.

A "drop" is typically estimated at 1/20th of one mL, which is then 0.05 grams. We can estimate the mass of a small-ish bowling ball at 5kg, or 5000 grams. 0.05 / 5000 * 100 = 0.001%.

So it's an order of magnitude shy, but that's still closer than I expected! It's about 1 ml of beer on a bowling ball - a small splash. Or maybe a very large drop.
LLMs aren't going replace all actors or all voice actors just as they won't replace all illustrators or writers.

LLMs provide a certain level of mid/low quality content in nearly all mediums. And given that there many people producing such mid/low quality content today, LLMs will have an impact. LLMs affecting sales writers? Sure (not the best sales writers but the point is sales is mediocre but acceptable is a norm).

And say LLMs specifically. There's good evidence the technology has roughly peaked. That doesn't mean it's impact has peaked but it's indication that "all jobs at risk" might be an exaggeration.

They’re useful because they let you pass a slice or map to something built to handle the new func(func (…) bool) style iterators.

If I create a IterateOver(fn func(func (K, V any) bool)) function, you cannot pass a slice since that doesn’t match fn’s type, but if you wrap it with slices.All it’ll work.

Small display sizes used to mean "cheap phone" for so long that people still won't pay more money for a smaller device.

Not for lack of trying, since both Apple and Samsung tried in 2019 with their mini iPhones and Galaxy S10e respectively which were both smaller versions of their normal phones. Neither line continues today.

Apple has some precedent with their premium iPad Mini which costs more than their normal iPad and gets irregularly updated, but it might be hard to market an "iPhone Mini SE Pro".
> That might be exactly your point though? That Apple has multiple tools to leverage to make sure that it's impossible to compete with their payment processor if you're building an app?

Apple wants you to use their payment processor because it is more convenient than auditing/p and potentially suing companies for breaking their contractual agreement around revenue sharing. They force transactions where they collect a royalty through in-app payments, and actually forbid other transactions from using it (like booking an Uber).

It is also a better end user experience.

But you aren’t paying 30% for a particular end user experience feature. You are paying what Apple put into the agreement as what they think they are owed from the value their ecosystem provides.

So Apple split their “payment processing” to 3% and their “using our tools, platform, store and infrastructure” to 27%. It’s certainly possible to undercut 3% for payment processing.

The real problem is 27% of revenue excludes entire categories of services, but that isn’t something regulators can easily force - they can push for services to be unbundled, but not that a company otherwise charges too much for a nonessential product.
Note that there are different clearances with different restrictions and obligations. Lower level clearances are not much different than standard background checks to obtain an HSPF-12 credential (US Gov ID badge) while higher level clearances may require periodic polygraph tests and other additional restrictions.

Strongly agree, but the existence of platform-integrated DRM is a moral hazard that current incentives don't seem to have a mechanism for overcoming, and the only mechanisms that seem to work require open or at least regulated platforms
Highly recommended! And I do mean new. Because having an opinion is good, and validating it is even better. I find it to be mostly educational, humbling and fulfilling; but occasionally VERY frustrating because there's just no end of things to fix and improve.

The anecdote of walking into a flooded band room to unplug a submerged power bar is uhh.... "shocking" to say the least.

A device can't locate other devices via GPS (GNSS apparently, which includes GPS and other systems); it can only locate itself. GNSS is only a receiver; there's no way to transmit unless you have a satellite. [0]

Having located itself, the device has to transmit its location to other Totem Compasses via other means. It says it uses 2.4 GHz spectrum and some stripped down, low-latency protocol (why does low-latency matter here?).

[0] I can setup a local cellular transmitter; has anyone tried setting up a GPS transmitter and hack it to send other useful information besides PNT? Yes, I know you can send misleading PNT info; I'm talking about doing something useful.
>Either data collection mandates are left to individual states

What is wrong with this? This seems extremely obvious. The fact that you do not mention this option in your original post seems almost disingenuous. Unless you meant to address it in the 'unless we want to end up forming regionalized "internets"' line? Although leaving the entire meat of your argument to one unexplained line isn't great either. And even then I don't see how the lack of mandating data collection would result in regionalized internets. So far I can access websites in Russia or South Korea just fine despite this point. And in any case you can create a regionalized internet even if all these rules are followed. See China and north korea.

>you're left with the status quo that every nation that isn't a party of the Budapest Convention can use 3rd party groups to hack a rival, which leads to chaos.

US, China, Russia and North Korea will continue to hack each other, no matter the outcome of this UN Convention. Even ignoring that point it is still strictly much better to have hacking than have globally mandated data collection

That's actually the policy as I understood it, though, it was being enforced starting in an OS cycle, and I was only there for a month of it. When I think of institutionalized maladaptive dysfunction, I think of the lock screen.
Yes but you need additional processing to turn it into a high quality random stream. There are other alternatives based on solid state electronics that are more affordable, easier to implement, and far more amenable to scale-up
Don't most Rust crates solve this by running MSRV builds/tests?

Or is the goal to catch it eg. in precommit hook?
Pretty sure the honks are meant at human drivers. I guess what must be happening is that when navigating a parking lot and seeing another car that it thinks may be in its way or not aware of it, it honks to make its presence known.

This is generally a good idea when interacting with human drivers and in the outside world where the probability of encountering another self-driving car in such a situation is extremely low. It only breaks in this specific edge-case where there's seemingly nothing but self-driving cars in the entire lot.

It's actually quite a difficult problem to solve. The honk reflex is there for safety - if something that might be a car (based on limited/occluded camera & sensor data) you want to honk just in case, as early as possible. Waiting for the presumed car to get into better view so you can identify it is dangerous as it will delay the honk reaction to a time where it might be too late.

The only way I see to solve that is that all the cars need to communicate and be aware of each other in 3D space, and then be able to predict their upcoming position in the visual/radar field very precisely, so that as soon as it comes into view you need to be able to confidently say that this is indeed another Waymo car and thus inhibit the (now unnecessary) honk reaction. This needs to be very precise as you wouldn't want to accidentally inhibit it in case a human driver (or just cyclist/pedestrian) also happens to be there and broadly matches the location/angle you expect your other Waymo car to be at.
Oof, even phones have 16GB RAM nowadays
Dogfooding is so important, but so is competitive awareness. There has to be a good balance, where enough people are using your own product to find (and document) all of its flaws, but enough people are using competitive products to see bigger picture gaps.
This is similar to the idea that if you scaled the Earth to the size of a standard size 5 football and dried it off, you would barely be able to feel the mountains or trenches on the surface. The water is therefore a very thin film over the land in those terms.

The solution is so fiendishly simple I am astonished not to see it suggested elsewhere yet.

Back when I were a lad, there was this thing called the world wide web...

Apps as a crappy, less capable front-end for what is just a webpage anyway is not a new trend, but it has gotten crappier and stupider over time. Patreon should just pull their app entirely from platforms that behave as predatory rent-seekers and work on making their mobile web interface top-notch. It's not that hard.
How's DuckDB better than using SQLite on an in-memory DB?
The only thing they did on purpose was run too close to the limits of the battery.

The battery degraded because it was a battery, and the performance had to degrade along with it because of physics.

Apple didn't decide remotely to weaken performance. That performance was on borrowed time. What Apple did wrong was not making it clear upfront that the performance was on borrowed time and wasn't sustainable.
They often do so poorly. I think it'd be better to be upfront about their location and discuss how they support other locations instead of trying to pretend to be US based when they aren't able to fake it well.
If you're unlucky enough to be bilingual, it's a complet joke.
It's a real shame, because it makes this function useless for the people who need it most, those who can't type easily on a phone (visual challenges), or have difficulty transcribing names in a foreign language.

It could help millions of elderly people stay independent a little longer. But no instead, they were trying to sell us generative AI and photo filter.
I think that turns off the skip to highlight everywhere, right? I still want to see skip to highlight in non music videos. Also, looking at the use cases on the wiki for highlight, musics should not be allowed

> Skipping to the point/most important part of the video
Skipping to the part of the video referred to by the title
Skipping to the part of the video referred to by the thumbnail
Skipping to the part of the video referenced from a preview/teaser at the start of the video

There is no "most important part" of a piece of music. And the last three don't apply at all.
Most of the demo fails they had during today's keynote felt more like beta supporting software and bad network kinds of failures. The only failure I saw that felt more like a generative AI-level failure was one of the hot air balloon image gens they tried which generated a circle of garbage in the sky; which was one variation presented among five or six which the AI spat out in seconds.
For strict textualists it is ambiguous whether the supremacy clause puts treaties above the constitution, or was referring to state constitutions:

> This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

And there is no explicit ordering of priority between them and the Constitution.

FWIW the Android and Apple smartwatches will all charge nearly completely during a 15 minute shower. It's very possible to wear them for sleep tracking and only charge a bit a day.

I don't think anyone is claiming that science isn't biased because it's conducted by humans. Just like I don't think anyone is really claiming that the OP is incorrect in their statement. The comments I've read are merely pointing out "X causes Y does not mean that Y implies X" is a given in the context of a scientific discussion. It reads as if you and the OP are getting wrapped around the axle by treating science as an outcome rather than a process and, in doing so, fighting a claim that was never made, and one where the counterclaim is generally well understood in the scientific community. So well understood that it doesn't really need to be said.

I don't buy it. Even allowing counting iron as separate from what rocks can be composed of (and using mass instead of volume) you still have 30.1%+15.1%=45.2% of the Earth as oxygen and silicon (which are most certainly part of what makes a rock) at which point you've already disproved the claim Earth is more a ball of iron than a ball of rock.

A ball of iron covered with a ball of rocks is a more fair statement though, and I'd agree with that. It's just that center ball isn't most of what makes up the Earth (by any measure).
I still hope to make one, but a combination of ADHD, depression and so many things to do and learn keep getting in the way.

At my current rate I'll know everything and be ready to get started on the day I die.

But my feature wishlist is

First class functions,
Garbage collection,
Transparent parallelism,
Explicit parallelism,
Type inference with strong type consistency,
Dynamicly typed by annotation,
Operator overloading (every language should either have vector/matrix operators or the ability to build them)

And a few more that I can't recall just now. I've made it hard for myself.

Failing that maybe just a hacked JavaScript without implicit type conversion between objects/strings etc. (the source of most "Wat?"), frozen array tuples, operator overloading. Implied "this." on identifiers defined and used inside class definitions.
Nice, I really want to see a Clojure equivalent on .NET where its a Lisp language, but it fits in with its ecosystem.
It would make Mars warmer. It would melt all the ice and CO2. It would give Mars an ocean. Of liquid rock. This is assuming that it doesn't destroy Mars completely. There might be enough fragments to make Solar System dangerous place and destroy life on Earth.

Europa is the size of our Moon. Colliding it with Mars would be similar to the collision that formed our Moon.

I think that for the rank and file, not needing to use the device is fine. But if you are a manager/product owner/etc (especially over teams in charge of said devices) then YOU specifically should have to use google devices like 24/7 as part of your job.

I don't understand why they say

"Future-Proof: Thanks to the copyleft provision, cloud vendors cannot easily resell our project without our consent. This gives us confidence in our ability to monetize without fear of predatory competition. ParadeDB just turned one year old, and we’ve already been contacted by four cloud providers who, had we not chosen the AGPL license, may have privately forked and distributed ParadeDB."

Nothing in the license requires cloud vendors from reselling the project. They just need to make the source available?

> I also don't like how async/await ends up taking over a whole codebase. Often making one function async will cause you to update other functions to be async so you can do proper awaiting.

This is basically the function coloring problem. There was some ardent discussion about this a few weeks ago on HN [1], where the top comment positioned function coloring as a feature, because it highlights where expensive operations like IO might potentially be happening in your application.

I saw a comment recently where someone pointed out an old API in Java where comparing two URLs for equality initiates a DNS request, and so something as simple as putting a URL in a hash table could end up involving a network request [2]. So maybe it's reasonable to color functions that connect to the network at the very least. If I used a URL comparison library and it returned a promise it would immediately set off alarms in my mind.

It’s not just phlogiston, it’s the lifecycle of all scientific theories that they’re used for as long as they make accurate predictions, then we start seeing things they mis-predict, then they’re revised or replaced. You seem to think the expanding universe theory can still be saved by some data artifact or parameter tweaking, but that’s been hunted for years and we’re still at “we just can’t make it match everything we’re seeing”. Historically, that’s what precedes significant revision or replacement.
