Strong reactions like yours to what should be a very mild and uncontroversal statement that you evidently don’t even disagree with are exactly why these things are increasingly viewed by many as having elements of dogma.

What I wrote needed to be said, despite evidently containing very little interesting content, precisely because of how severely it provokes certain people who claim not to even disagree with it. The degree of the provocation proves the value of the statement.

It's not like there are many viable competitors, at least for long form videos.
I have a Pixel 7 and the battery feels like it has gone down a bit. Hard to tell as it has never been great to begin with...

It was a good deal at the time with the free Pixel Buds Pro, but I surprisingly liked my previous phone better (One Plus 5).
ASL Fingerspelling Practice Tool
I prefer the raw promise syntax. It makes the promise chain look more like what it is, an asynchronous pipeline, and you don't need to litter async everywhere.

const myAsyncThing = async (init) => {
let value = await task1(init);
value = await task2(value);
return value;
}

const myPromiseThing = (init) => task1(init).then(task2)

I know this is a relatively simple and contrived example, but there are some times where async/await very much is bulky and gets in the way of just writing code.
> I really want a smaller/lighter phone next time.

The standard Pixel a line is relatively small, ~6", but perhaps you're talking about going back to the under-6" range.

I definitely find the move to larger phones somewhat perplexing because even as a 6'4" guy it's pretty difficult to navigate that much screen space with one hand.
Let's wait until it actually ships and if it'll work offline. Last few times Google sold Pixels on dedicated AI hardware it wasn't even used and instead offloaded to their cloud services, making them slow and often blocking app UI until it's either finished or timed out.
The Alpher–Bethe–Gamow Paper
I thought this was an amusing story (with a sad ending). Basically, the great physicist and polymath George Gamow was working with his grad student Ralph Alpher on what eventually became Alpher's Phd dissertation. Gamow, having a silly/absurd sense of humor, got the crazy idea of asking his buddy Hans Bethe (another all-time great physicist) to "contribute" to the paper just so he could make the stupid pun on the Greek letters "alpha, beta, gamma." Bethe was happy to oblige, so they did it.

As harmless and silly as it sounds, Alpher was totally crushed and upset by it because Bethe basically did nothing, but the presence of two great names in the authors list made people assume that Alpher's contributions were modest (at least that was his fear). Alpher was apparently bitter about it until his death. The paper is interesting, too!
Fortunately, Nietzsche was simply diagnosing a disease rather than expounding on the nature of health. Yes, many of us in the 20th and 21st centuries act like God is dead. But "right is right, even if nobody thinks it is" is something that people have recognized since ... oh, Socrates? And once you probe how something can be "right" even if "[everyone in society]" disagrees you find a law giver. That's when the rubber really meets the road.
This article is receiving a massive amount of silly backlash by gamers on social media as "The Verge are assholes by breaking the agreement!" but a) Valve is a big enough company to be able to require and enforce binding NDAs and they chose not to in this instance, and a popular new game by Valve is properly newsworthy to report upon and b) most don't realize that the and "Valve banned me" update is tongue-in-cheek and not the author being genuinely upset.

That is just mind-boggling
> Marketing for phones is probably more diverse and carefully balanced than for any other product category.

How can that be true when there's only 2 phone OSes of note and one single company sells half the phones in the US? There's not enough diversity in the market to create the conditions for diverse marketing.

If anything it's a race to the middle. When there are 2 shops in town, they tend to become more similar not more diverse.
No. You're relying on the OS's sandboxing features, which are much, much more granular than just "the same user running the browser."

With the original Wear OS, you could check your notifications at any time and even scroll through them, all without touching the watch. The gestures were amazing. They eventually took them away, for reasons that I cannot comprehend.
At https://www.youtube.com/live/N_y2tP9of8A?t=4119 in the Google Pixel 2024 keynote, the generative AI in Magic Editor still produces wacky objects - a hot air balloon that looks deflated?! The gen AI did produce two decent-looking hot air balloons.
Not having features like unlocking your Mac from your phone, Apple Pay etc. is the deal breaker.
Google is like 3%ish of the smartphone market in the US. Pixel phones are US-focused, so I can't imagine they're that high worldwide.

The two big phone giants in the US are Apple and Samsung. Of which Samsung isn't muddling the hardware, OS, software distribution. Maybe platform ecosystem, but generally a Samsung smartwatch or headphones will work with any other Android phone just fine.
This sounds quite a lot like my allergy to using floating point for doing anything critical at all. It's more difficult to force deterministic results on all platforms for float than it is for known-bitwidth-integers.

When you're in SOS mode, you can use the satellite connection to manually update your location—separate of the emergency response service—so anyone who you've chosen to share that with can see it, as well as in Find My. I'm often out of cell service in the mountains and will usually push the location once I'm in the general area I plan to be for a while.
I'm curious about those Samsung flip phones that, instead of flipping open like a book, flip shut into a square like a 90s flip phone. I don't really want to buy one, but I like the idea a lot.

The upcoming 9a is where Google has to make some tough business decisions whether it's going to have all the AI features of the main line, at half the price.

It's rumored that Apple's new SE will have the full suite of Apple AI features, and that might put some pressure on Google to match.
This is a really broad topic. I began studying it about 5 years ago.

Can you start by suggesting what you task you want to do? I'll throw out some suggestions, but you can say something different. Also you are welcome to email me (email in HN profile):

* Voice conversion / singing voice conversion

* Transcription of audio to MIDI

* Classification / tagging of audio scene

* Applying some effect / cleanup to audio

* Separating audio into different instruments

etc

The really quick summary of audio ML as a topic is:

* Often people treat it audio ML as vision ML, by using spectrogram representations of audio. Nonetheless, 1D models are sometimes just as good if not better, but they require very specific familiarity with the audio domain.

* Audio distance measures (loss functions) are pretty crappy and not well-correlated with human perception. You can say the same thing about vision distance measures, but a lot more research has gone into vision models so we have better heuristics around vision stuff. With that said, multi-scale log mel spectrogram isn't that terrible.

* Audio has a handful of little gotches around padding, windowing, etc.

* DSP is a black art and DSP knowledge has high ROI versus just being dumb and black boxy about everything.
Ok, so they are mandating data collection:

>Each State Party shall adopt such legislative and other measures as may be
necessary to empower its competent authorities to:
(a) Collect or record, through the application of technical means in the
territory of that State Party; and
(b) Compel a service provider, within its existing technical capability:
(i) To collect or record, through the application of technical means in the
territory of that State Party; or
(ii) To cooperate and assist the competent authorities in the collection or
recording of;
traffic data, in real time, associated with specified communications in its territory
transmitted by means of an information and communications technology system.

That is pretty bad. Some parts of this draft actually seemed pretty reasonable - eg. Article 14 making CSAM illegal. I guess that is part of the trick.
If you’re into sport, I recommend Garmin. It shows notifications properly. Bonus, charge it once or twice in a week. It doesn’t try to be a smartwatch.

No sport?
I recommend a classy automatic wristwatch. Your movement winds it up. No charging. No apps. No updates. No battery. The spring is wind up by wearing, eight hours of wearing usually last for 24 hours. So sleeping without isn’t an issue and in worst case you can wind up manually. Best purchase of my life.

PS: Teached me also other things. Mine has an “old” acrylic glass which I considered first as drawback. It isn’t. It doesn’t break up easily like gorilla glass. And no notifications.
Why Macron's use of the French swear word 'emmerder' is so hard to transl
The _conclusion_ that the Universe is expanding is based on the long accepted premise that the Universe is _flat_. And this premise can not be proven or disproved unless we travel great distances to actually _observe_ if the Universe does, in fact, look the same from any point you look.

The Copernican principle is, indeed, attractive to the modern mind because its neutrality. But it's not neutral. It's just as loaded as any other principle, no matter how crazy it may sound today, philosophical, religious, or merely personal.
> If you are trying to make a scientific argument, you should bring data since that's the cornerstone of science.

He is making an epistemic argument, and epistemology is a part of proper science, though not of scientism, which is what you are bringing.

Binary is not the only form of logic available, but it is the most popular in discussions of the unknown.

> Your original point says very little.

You are literally mixing up subjective and objective.

> Yes, science acknowledges that you can never 100% say "X causes Y".

Careful though: science also does the opposite. Do you know why? Because science is composed of scientists, and scientists are Humans, and Humans are famously unable to distinguish between facts and their opinion of what is a fact. In fact, doing so is almost always inappropriate, and socially punished.

> Science is about...

It may intend to aspire to that, but what it is, is what it is. And what that is, comprehensively, is unknown, because it is unknowable. But we do know portions of what it is: there's the part you said, but there is also deceit, hyperbole, delusion, etc...again, because it is composed of Humans, and this is how Humans are. In my experience, all Humans oppose extreme correctness, I have never met a single one who does not.
Light sparkles probably contain randomness yes, if your image processing doesn't remove it. So for example, perhaps find a way to not discard location in the image, timing from image to image, intensity - all of which will contain some randomness. Subject to someone learning that you are doing this and shining a light into your camera. And I don't think you need to go to any effort at all to remove the non-random part - as long as you actually do collect the random aspect.

An issue with randomness is how much you are collecting. Ideally your system generates both the random numbers and an estimate of how much randomness it is collecting. Some uses require a lot, some very little.

If possible, I'd say it's best to just stay at 12:00.

Let them be "hard coded" in ~/.config/myapp/config.py or such so that it's very clear which edits should only be done by a wizard and which ones are suitable for a user.

This way all your users are suitably placed on a slippery slope where one edit in the same language but to another file will transition them from user to contributor.

Jail them in a separate language and they'll stay users forever.

Besides, config languages never have the level of polish (re: tab completion and static analysis) that the main language does. Why deny your users the niceties that you set up for yourself?
>I think it's funny how many people really don't want to just wear glasses.

I paid for college working in the glasses business. Glasses are just not comfortable to wear all day. You can have them adjusted up the wazoo, but after a few hours, they're just annoying. Then the lenses are easily smudged. Or they're easy to bump. The reasons are long.
I would suggest Robert Harper's "Practical Foundations for Programming Language". [1] This take a relatively thorough approach to the development of language semantics, with particular emphasis on Type Theory. Addition work on Type Theory is scattered throughout academic work, but Harper is good place to start. The implementation of 'normal' type systems in mainstream languages are for the most part just semi-performant straight forward instances of the more formal algorithms presented in the literature. Searching for lectures by Neel Krishnaswami on YouTube will yield some decent results on developing Type Systems as well.

Probably just need a fitting with a different brand.

A lot of times your local distributor doesn't carry many of the astigmatic lenses because they can sit on the shelf for a while (it can 100x the available combinations) so they special order. I doubt they're specially manufactured per order for soft lenses.

Nope. That's the small (not barely visible tiny) ball.
> In principle, this watch has no built-in GPS.

Please don't post false information. The specs are readily available.
When I initially watched the demo video, I was wondering how the devices might locate each other. I thought it was using ultra wide band (UWB) like iPhones but now I see it’s just GPS. I’m not sure how many of these events are indoors vs outdoors, but it definitely won’t work indoors. Wonder how they might try to make it work indoors if there’s no additional hardware onboard.
Using yt-dlp to download video files is great too because it has support for sponsorblock[1] which will then automatically remove the segments you choose from the file.

What part of that do you interpret as trusting the client?
The density of water at the bottom of the ocean is actually quite similar to the density on the surface; it differs by only a few percent. Gases compress proportionally to pressure, but liquids act more similar to solids and compress very little even under enormous pressures.

The oceans are only about 3.5% salt by weight, so that doesn't make a huge difference, either.

For years, Google has been promising me a high-performance voice assistant. I find that in 2024 it still can't understand "call mom" and "call my wife's name" unless I'm in a perfectly silent environment. And it usually takes several tries.

Can you define “ban them”?

If you mean “promulgate a prohibition about them” then sure. You can ban them.

If you mean “successfully ban them”, ie “eliminate them to nearly zero occurrences” as I meant it, then no, you can’t.

Show me an example where naturally emergent GROUP phenomena that were constantly emerging from widely distributed natural behavior, were successfully banned.

The only way it has ever been reduced is by introducing alternatives that were just as good. Such as making the Impossible Burger widely available rather than banning meat. Or making electric cars instead of banning fossil fuel usage in vehicles.
It could be worse, it could be TV where back rarely seen and only gimmick after maximum bezel thinness is display thinness until samsung decided to add a frame.

It's just an anecdote, but from my one-time experience the 90 days restriction isn't a hard restriction with TMobile. Service worked fine for 5 months for a family member abroad (in a single country) with no issues or messaging from TMobile about an overstay - although this was on a family plan with other phones in the US for the majority of that time.
> I wanted to analyze books, not editions, so I selected one edition for each book. I ended up with around 9 million unique books.

How did you select which was the true book? In some cases it appears that you picked the non-english language version of a book where the english language version would have been the more widely read one.
I absolutely hate advertising in all forms, and will aggressively block ads whenever I can.

Advertising is psychological manipulation. I get that there aren't many ways for independent creators to get paid for their work, only a selection of sub-optimal choices, but ads are gross.
you seem to be discussing what does or doesn't support multiple threads, but what we were talking about is what does or doesn't support multiple simultaneously existing hash tables, which hcreate() doesn't. i've edited my comment upthread to clarify

(it's also true, as kimixa points out, that a single-threaded process with signal handlers isn't really single-threaded, but i don't think that's really the important consideration in this context)

for what it's worth, it's not very difficult to use alarm() to invoke a context-switching subroutine to get preemptive user-space multithreading on unix without any kernel support. in theory you have to write the context-switching subroutine in assembly language, which isn't difficult at all; here's one i wrote in arm assembly for the arm eabi, for cooperative multithreading:

.thumb_func
.globl einyield
einyield:
push {r0, r4-r11, lr} @ save all callee-saved regs plus r0
ldr r0, =current_task_pointer
ldr r1, [r0]
str sp, [r1] @ save stack pointer in current eintask
ldr r1, [r1, #4] @ load pointer to next eintask
str r1, [r0]
ldr sp, [r1] @ switch to next eintask's stack
pop {r0, r4-r11, pc} @ return into einyielded context there

(from http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/einkornix.S)

but in practice you can usually just use longjmp()

preemptive multithreading requires you to save all the registers, not just the callee-saved registers, but so does signal handling, so you can usually just use the signal-handling machinery and use the above code (or its equivalent on your vax or 68000 or whatever) to context-switch between signal-handler stack frames
