I guess that's also kinda my poorly made point -- I imagine that these earbuds are like any other electronic device in the fact that they'll break in a handful of years and end up being irreparable in some way that results in just replacing them.

> I don't get it.

My iPad Pro has no 3.5mm jack, so I must use the flimsy USB dongle to use my Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro headphones (great open-back headphones).

Why doesn't a "pro" iPad have a 3.5mm jack? It makes no sense. When the iPad battery gets low, I can't charge the iPad while using the headphones. There is nothing "pro" about this.

Sometimes I like to connect my phone to my powered studio monitors with a 3.5mm cable. Again, the phone can't be charged while I do this. It's why I keep an old iPhone 6s around because it has the 3.5mm.

Learning any language more or less starts with learning a subset of it.

Asking a new hire to "learn awk" vs "learn perl" have two very different time investments attached to them.

Tasking someone with "learning a subset of perl" begets the question "what subset?", and a very exhausting conversation with someone(s) routinely asking "so?" follows. After spending a large amount of time re-litigating which subsets of perl features we want that awk already supplies.
I never assume a 2% inflation rate. I live in India, so I add/subtract 2% from the government's declared inflation numbers. If the government says inflation is 4%, I will use 6% for assets and 2% for EMIs.

In developed countries, maybe I would add 1-1.5%

1,500 cases, and only 80 in this (supposedly the largest) study? Released just after an intelligence agency report said "nothing to see here?" Are we really so naive as to be trusting intelligence agencies at their word now? :-\

Smells a lot like counter-intel. It's a common tactic to use "friendly" scientists to release dismissive reports that shut down public debate on certain topics. People trust scientists ("studies have found" is all you need say), so this can be a very effective technique.

Closing the NIH studies only strengthens the smell. Why study something (and risk the 'wrong' information getting out) when you can commit misconduct and then use your own misconduct as an excuse to shut down the investigation?
Really interesting response. So if hiring from the outside isn't ideal and promoting from within isn't ideal, what is the solution? Going back 3 years ago, what would you have done instead?

this has nothing to do with LLMs at all.. you are uninformed about the old feud between mathematics and statistics so you claim this is not true.

anyway, on reflection, the word "is" does not fit here.. statistics and mathematics are not disjoint, but no, statistics is not a field of mathematics.. ask around among people with serious graduate studies in mathematics and they will fill you in.. Maybe it overlaps into the academic practice and their department structure too.

Bezos delegated, but he also followed up aggressively, and the whole company reporting structure was designed to enable that.

When I worked there, Bezos held a weekly S-team meeting where the execs all came fully briefed to answer any questions about ongoing issues in their departments. That flowed on down the chain: Andy Jassy had an AWS-wide meeting the day before to gather the relevant data from each of his teams, and that meant that every major AWS team had an internal rollup meeting on Mondays to prepare for Jassy's meeting...

Most of the question mark emails seemed to target more specific issues (mostly customer pain points). The fixers were more for big organisational or tech problems. If your division was significantly behind schedule on a product launch, or your production system had significant failure rates, you were liable to have a Senior Principal engineer and/or a new VP airdropped into your org, with significant leeway to get shit done

It is trivial to prove otherwise - AlphaZero move 37. After 4,000 years of gameplay (yes, it is that old!) we still didn't get this level of insight in its strategy.

The core ability of humans might not be learning but search. Creativity is just an aspect of search. AlphaZero was both searching and learning. It's what we do as well, we search and learn. Science advances by (re)search. Art searches for meaningful expression. Even attention is search. Even walking is - where will I place my next foot?

Why is search a better concept that creativity? Because it specifies both the search space and the goal. Creativity, intelligence, understanding and consciousness - all of them - specify only the subjective part, omitting the external, objective part. Search covers both, it is better defined, even scientifically studied.
Interesting, I'm always calling what other people call "green" blue. But I suspect this test is very dependent on the viewer's monitor.
I had used Gnome for years, even with extensions often breaking between releases. And then they decided to remove the ability to have files on the desktop. I can't remember what Ubuntu release that was, and while Canonical at least hacked up a partial fix so the icons would at least show up, but you couldn't drag and drop them to or from the file manager.

It was a basic feature I had used since my family got their very first computer in 1992, a Mac that ran System 7. Gnome just decided they didn't like the way I used a computer for twenty-five years. It actually kind of shocked me. Been using KDE ever since.

> A society that encourages folks to marry, and to bear children, is a well-functioning society with a bright future

That works in the long term only if you regularly have massive wars, famines and plagues, since Earth can't sustain exponential growth forever. As far as I'm concerned, this fertility crisis is a last-minute bail-out. Having an aging (and slowly decreasing) population is preferable to an overpopulation and ots consequences.
Yeah, the key bit here is that you would remain under the microscope till you could demonstrate to the entire management chain that the problem was actually solved - and with the Bezos question mark came an implicit guarantee that the resources/authority to actually solve issue would be made available.
> The goal of the state (and the church) in promoting and supporting good marriages has historically and traditionally been to foster stable societies, strong homes, and obviously, population growth and replacement for the aging, infirm and dying.

The goal for whom? When the benefits of a vast pool of human labor are concentrated to a teeny group of people on top of the pyramid (whether they be kings, aristocrats, bishops, or billionaires), it's not surprising that leaders want to foster "strong societies". Leaders want to foster systems that maintain their power.

But it's appropriate to look at history for cases where this hasn't happened. Many historians argue that the Black Death, while obviously horrible in human terms, lead to a fundamental (and I'd argue beneficial) restructuring of European society. Labor was tight with fewer people, so peasant income went up in real terms. The power of the church went down drastically as people questioned why the church wasn't able to protect them from so much death.

My point is that societies favor systems that maintain existing power structures, but that doesn't mean those power structures are inherently good (or, for that matter, bad).

It seems like forth, with a lot of chopping to get the size down, and greatly simplify parsing.

However... it doesn't have stack manipulation, a dictionary, or the ability to handle strings in any fashion.

It's a cute little language, you can solve a lot of problems with it, but it's not the Forth you're looking for. ;-)
"lowest score" would be self explanatory. "Best score" still made me think I was doing better with a higher score

on the other hand, it might be better to change the scoring system. Calculate the worst score using the current system. Then reverse so the score goes up as in displayScore = worstScore - oldWayOfCalculatingScore
I'm not the GP commenter, but I'm supposing there would be some way of announcing the git repo where you can find the source -- similar to the `<link...>` tag used for RSS, you could have a

<link rel="alternate" type="application/x-git" title="my blog as a git repo" href="..." />

..and tooling could take care of all the things you like in an RSS reader. I could see this working really well for static site generators like vitepress or Jekyll or what have you, but going beyond what's in the source is kind of project-specific, but maybe I'm interested in just a summary of commits/PRs

Anyway, there isn't an official IANA-defined type for a git repo (the application/x-git is my closest guess until one became official) but my point is it isn't too far beyond what auto-discovery of RSS is.

I think the GP's comment is from the point of view of making it easy to retrieve the contents of the blog archive, easier than the hoops mentioned (bulk archive retrieval and generating WordPress page sequences, etc.) as well as solving the problem in TFA (partial feeds, partial blog contents in the feed).

Why I built this: I occasionally find the need to build CLI scripts. Whether it be for resetting variables, performing some mundane task, it seemed to involve the same process of trial and error. I wondered if it would be possible to create some sort of reusable blocks and design my CLI program with a web UI. This way, anyone on my team could modify it who weren't comfortable touching bash scripts or just wanted something where they could clone and tinker for their own needs easily.

Be happy to answer any questions!

Then the scenario becomes:

"Sir, the results are in: this weapon causes mild headaches and sleep difficulties lasting a few months."

"Excellent! Deploy it against American embassies immediately. Surely this will absolutely cripple their espionage efforts."

The idea that it's a side-effect of directed- energy _surveillance_ seems a vastly more sensible hypothesis in every way.
Yup, but defining that subset isn't free! Perhaps some people did the work already, but I'd still be cautious as to how much Perl one actually need to know to use those comfortably.
all this implies trust in the management team, right? to tell Bezos that it's really solved. The opposite of what the essay is arguing, that these managers tend to be fakers and can't be trusted.
I think it's more likely that someone at Intel thought, "You know what would be cool? A rug that looked like the Pentium die." Note that unlike Fairchild, Intel's plant is not on Navajo land so there are no tribal agreements.
On the flip side of this, if your kernel + initramfs is being loaded slowly (either the previous boot stage and is not using the hardware at its full capacity or the image is large enough that it would be better to do something else in parallel with loading the image), then having the smallest practical image that can load the remaining software after userspace starts can be faster.
Why don't more people use Linux?
There was an early report that claimed abnormalities, but by the standards they were using just about everybody would have shown abnormalities - and they consequently did not even have a control group. Contemporary studies from 2024+ onward, using control groups, have found no physical effects or differences whatsoever. [1]

I also think it's noteworthy that claimed incidents have been reported just about everywhere, including Western nations. After the scare started, every "enemy" state individual, embassy, and other such facility would have been even more intense than usual surveillance. And absolutely no evidence of any attack of any sort whatsoever has been found.

By contrast mass psychogenic illnesses [2] have a lengthy history and their typical effects correlate identically with the typical reported effects of 'Havana Syndrome.' Actually I just noticed Havana Syndrome is now already listed as one of the examples of mass psychogenic illness. Somewhat surprising from Wiki, but accurate nonetheless.

Similar goal, different approach. I wrote RSS reader, that captures link meta from various RSS sources. The meta data are exported every day. I have different repositories for bookmarks, different for daily links, different for 'known domains'.

I can always go back, parse saved data. If web page is not available, I fall back to Internet Archive.

- https://github.com/rumca-js/RSS-Link-Database - bookmarks I found interesting

- https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database - internet domains found on the internet

This discussion is on the brink of doom, but I'll try to contribute anyway.

It may be that personality and attention disorders are over-diagnosed because we select those away when creating psychologists / psychiatrists, but it does not mean that the attention and behavior disorders are somehow good, either.

This really vexes me:

> The very characteristics of Einstein that upset authorities so much were exactly the ones that allowed him to excel.

Really? Which exactly?

You can certainly get a good job and become successful in today's society while harboring a deep-set suspicion of everyone who is in authority. But I do think that it's just harder to succeed in a workplace if you are constantly bucking instructions and only bucking them, based only on principle. If this drive motivates you to learn more and discover why things are the way they are, and come up with better things, you're not necessarily exhibiting those behavioral disorders at all! But the implication all over this article that anti-authoritarianism is by definition a good thing is suspect. (except, I guess, to those who self-identify as anti-authoritarians, usually politically)
Z stack strength and rigidity is a huge driver because it reduces charge back. Margins are super tight for a lot of OEMs and the PMs eliminate any non-profit features.

Off the top of my head, there are savings in:
Pick and place
Stack Assembly
Testing
Improved phones/hour and therefore shorter/cheaper factory runs
Packaging, especially if you eliminate the shitty wired earpieces in the box
Less weight/volume and cheaper shipping
Reduced warranty / chargeback because things that don’t exist can’t fail

All of these savings are small. But remember that the goal is to make/sell 500K+ units. And, this is an industry where the bean counters will kill their mothers to shave a penny off of the BOM.

So, yeah, for the OEM eliminating headphone jacks is a complete no brainer.
