I'm honestly surprised this has led to charges. I eagerly await the qualified immunity argument against this.

Before we get too excited, there's lots of ways this can go wrong. People don't understand just how rigged the justice system is not to prosecute authority figures including the police. For example:

1. Manu jurisdictions require felony charges to first be approved by a grand jury. This is meant to protect citizens from spurious felony charges. The grand jury proces empanels a group of people, just like a jury, but they'll only hear evidence that the prosecutor presents. There is no defense counsel. The defendant is not present. Anyone interesting in pursuing a prosecution is not present.

So what can go wrong? A prosecutor can intentionally bring a weak case and then hang their hat on the grand jury denying to pursue charges. It happens all the time.

Why would a prosecutor do this? Because they rely on the police for prosecutions. If a prosecutor gets a reputation for locking up the police then their police witnesses start getting sick and missing court dates. And that prosecutor's conviction rate goes down, which ultimately is the only thing they care about.

2. Judges often either have a prosecution bias or they outright work for the benefit of the prosecution. There can be multiple reasons for this. Many judges are former prosecutors. Depending on your state, judges may be politicians effectively as they have to campaign for their position or their name is on the ballot to extend their term so narratives like "tough on crime" start appearing.

There are three big recent examples of this:

1. The YSL trial in Georgia. The judge had ex-parte meetings with witnesses and the prosecution with no defense cousel present during which a witness was coerced to testify for the prosecution by the judge. That judge was ultimately forced to recuse themselves because thsi was such an egregious breach of the rules;

2. The Karen Reed trial in Massachussetts. This wasn't on the news much but was covered heavily on social media, particularly Tiktok. The list of sins by the prosecutors and judges are really too great to enumerate.

3. Alec Baldwin's trial for the death of a crew member on the set of Rust. The prosecution withheld exculpatory evidence from the defense. They hid bullets in a file of another case so the defense would never see it. This led to the case being dismissed with prejudice, rightly so. This is what's called a Brady violation [1]. Now because that was a high-profile case that happened. But sometimes the Brady violation is ignored. In a famous Supreme Court case (Connick v. Thomson [2]), the Supreme Court ruled that if just one prosecutor in an office does a Brady violation then it's fine. It's not a systemic problem. Crazy.

Now we have had high profile cases where the police have been successfuly prosecuted, most notably Derek Chauvin. But those really are the exception. We're a long way from a conviction.

I speculate you’ve taken something you don’t want to see personally and dressed it up as “the problem” when you could instead just find a way to be okay with it.

But maybe there’s something genuinely problematic with that behavior which I don’t know about.

If you switch to Sleep focus (side button, moon, Sleep) it'll switch to a more minimalistic face and turn off the Always On Display. A quick tap on the screen would still show the time.

I bought AutoSleep [1] back when in the day when watchOS still didn't have sleep tracking, and still use it daily. It's fabulous for automatically tracking naps.

> On-device inference improves not just its latency

this is a nuanced thing. sure you save the network hop, but you are running inference on a much more underpowered model on an underpowered device. at the end of the day you want to get the lowest time to first token and highest tokens per second. on-device optimizes TTFT at the expense of Tok/s. i think there are many usecases where Tok/s dominates in overall latency considerations.

The name “big bang” was a pejorative epithet coined by Fred Hoyle, who believed in a steady-state universe that was expanding (as Hubble had argued convincingly) but had some hypothetical mechanism for creating galaxies, such that the universe could have an unbounded past and future.

> And I'd do the same with Meta, Apple, etc.

I agree re Meta, but I am not sure Apple should be in the same category. I think Google and Meta use a small subset of golden goose businesses to subsidize perpetual money losers that prevent competition and actual self sufficient business models from emerging, all for the sake of preventing the emergence of another conglomerate that might come for the original golden goose. Apple doesn’t seem to fit this model - all of its businesses more than 3-5 years old seem to be wildly profitable. It isn’t like the iPhone is subsidizing the Watch, or Services. They are all successful, self sufficient businesses.

I made the switch a few years ago, but I recall the Apple watch taking much longer than 30 mins to charge. The current iteration of the Apple Watch SE (which is what I had) claims that the battery lasts 18 hours and can charge from 0-80% in 90 minutes: https://www.apple.com/apple-watch-se/specs/

I'm much happier with a watch that does fewer things but does them well. Only having to charge it for ~30 minutes once every few weeks means that I can just leave it on all the time like the non-smart watches I used to wear.
> they'd have to start charging those 2 billion users

Why couldn’t they simply show ads like any third party site? Ads can still be a business model for them, but those separate businesses couldn’t be subsidized by ads shown on other sites as the case currently is.
> Would you see them getting 10 Nobel prizes and 5 Turing awards?

Meh, we give Nobel prizes to anyone these days - they're more symbolic of certain politics than anything else sadly.

Turing Awards? Yes, many things Google has contributed to the world are probably worthy of such an award. Http/2/quic/3 were driven by Google if I'm not mistaken, and there is no other browser core like Chromium today that facilitates so much of the world's internet access (a significant amount of which does not use Chrome itself). Tensorflow and early "AI Revolution" tech came largely out of Google as well.

The problem we have today is tech is very complicated and requires many organizations working together to really advance groundbreaking technology. When the day finally comes that FSD Vehicles are possible, would we say the first company to market "invented" the technology or would it be the compound experiences of dozens of companies? Gone are the days 5 people can get into a room and 3 months later turn out world-changing technology...
> RP2354 has Flash finally

The flash is QSPI, so its not really on die flash with a real flash controller. There is some QSPI cache but it’s really a band-aid solution to not having the real thing. People around the net don't seem to understand the difference and it can be very misleading.
The fundamental problem with complex phenomena is in defining the domain(s) of interest.

If we want to talk about the total amount of H2O around, on, or in the Earth then inclusion makes sense.

If we want to talk about water interacting with the surface environment (atmospheric, sea, ice cap, fresh, and subsurface aquifers and tectonic water), then splitting those into distinct categories probably also makes sense. In which case we can also show the subsurface water.

How much mantle water does make it to the surface over time is a good question. I've no idea though I'd suspect that some does through geothermal and tectonic activity. The more interesting question might be how we'd determine this (all but certainly through isotopic composition), and if a net flux could be determined.

Over geological time, additional reservoirs of water are significant simply because surface water boils off into space over time, with estimates I've seen of up to 25% of Earth's original allotment having done so over 4.5 billion years or so. As the Sun eventually grows warmer, this rate will increase. At the same time, tectonic activity will slow.

Note that there's a fair bit of water transport through the lower crust / upper mantle as oceanic plates subduct under continental plates, with the water absorbed into the oceanic plates playing a major role in volcanism at those plate boundaries, e.g., along the "Rim of Fire" surrounding the Pacific basin.

Double agent isn't a color that appears on the card. A card has 7 white spaces, 1 black space, 9 spaces of one color, and 8 spaces of the other color. If you think that white and black are separate colors, you can't make a rotationally symmetric 5x5 board.

From the perspective of a player who is memorizing boards, it's beneficial to know which square is black, so as the memorizer's adversary it's probably best to put the black square in all 8 non-blue non-red squares for a given layout of blue and red squares.
Speaking of Twitter, it would be very neat to be able to see a graph of sentiment over time if you select a term.

I think this approach works for the newer and more expensive models but not for the SE (which is what I had). The SE's battery is only rated to last 18 hours and does not offer fast charging, so taking it off and sticking it on the charger when you go to bed made sense; otherwise, you need to charge it at alternating times of day or leave it off for 6 hours in the middle of the day.

> I have negative desire to get a phone billing itself around AI and LLM features

Google has been tastefully integrating AI into phones for a while now using opt-ins. The now-many-years old phone screening feature ensures the fear of spam won't lead to unintentionally missing calls from the doctor/dentist who call from unknown numbers. Screening suspicious calls instead of declining them is a massive quality of life improvement, and having an AI assistant answer your phone and do a live transcription is straight from the Jetsons.

I'd suggest you consider reading the laws that Congress has passed to create agencies. Congress already does this.

Congress does not simply write "This bill establishes the Department of Slinky Tossing" and lets the Executive define, without any restriction, what this agency should do.

Congress would at least define this agency as responsible for launching Slinkies in a manner that is at least partially airborne for some of it's trajectory.

Now here's where things get tricky, Congress must write in immutable words that must withstand decades of scrutiny on their definition. Let's say "airborne" was used because they did not want this agency merely cradling Slinkies into the ocean, nor did Congress want the Slinkies to remain in boxes.

So in a few years of tossing Slinkies around on earth, this "Department of Slinky Tossing" partners with NASA to throw Slinkies around on Mars.

A new opportunity arises for the true linguo-contrarian looking for a gladitorial match entrenched in establishing meaning: Congress used the term "airborne". Airborne requires an object being in air. But how does one define "air"?

Did Congress intend for air to refer to the atmosphere on Earth? The gaseous atmosphere around any planet? And really, what is a planet? Could this definition of "air" be restricted to gaseous mixtures consumable by humans? Who knows!

Now we must defer to a court to decide if the breathability of air impacts the definition of the term "airborne", and if the "Department of Slinky Tossing" is allowed to toss Slinkies on Mars simply because "airborne" has been ambiguously defined in both common usage and law.

Unfortunately, the Department of Slinky Tossing is unable to defend itself by claiming that Congress continued to fund their wiggly experiments, which to the agency, suggests the agency was still within permissible bounds.

Congress' appropriations process ensures there is an opportunity every year to refuse the "Department of Slinky Tossing"'s space aspirations if inter-planetary slinky tossing is a leap too far. The Court seems to disapprove of the notion that the appropriations process is Congress allowing an agency to continue to operate as it's been running.

Ultimately, I think this ruling simply cements that language-pedants ought to spend their energy finding a fufilling hobby.
I think Go is pretty OK as a language for building data pipelines (I’m assuming you meant statistical ones, but the same argument applies to more data transform-y ones). What it is not good for is doing exploratory analysis (which is where Python shines).

Manual loops are pretty annoying when the focus is on figuring out which loops to write (exploratory phase). However, they are pretty nice once you’ve figured it out and need write a durable bit of code where your prioritise readability over conciseness (productionisation).

Going from Python to <any language> between the exploratory phase and the productionised pipeline is going to be a pain, I don’t think Go is particularly worse than others. At that point it’s all about the classic software tradeoffs (performance vs velocity vs maintainability) and I didn’t think Go is a good choice in many situations.
Yet apple device batteries last longer than any other brand. My Apple Watch is 5 years old and lasts at least a day and a half. It feels as fast as the day I bought it and still gets major upgrades.
