Phyphox allows you to measure and conduct experiments with a phone. That includes things like a sonar to estimate distances from the echo of a ping/frequency sweep that the app plays over the speaker, or measuring the magnetic field, acceleration or rotation of the phone. It can also display a spectrum (FFT) of many measured time series or a waterfall display to visualize changes in the spectrum.
It's not about caring for you, it's, in cynical terms, about building the future tax base to maintain the infrastructure you will utilize in your old age. Every Western society has the elderly using more resources than they contribute, esp. regarding healthcare. Some even use more resources than they ever earned in life.

I know it's horribly cynical, but if you don't have kids then go on Medicare then rack up a huge bill, you've basically burdened a smaller next generation with a higher tax bill and basically are setting up a Japan 2.0

Being rear ended (16 out of 23 serious accidents according to the article) is a pretty clear case of the car not doing anything wrong at all. It's the one case where collision avoidance is going to be useless because the car is waiting for e.g. a red light and is supposed to be stopped and has to blindly trust cars behind us will do the same thing.
And: measuring current can be done with any odd hall effect sensor, voltage not so much.

Remember, the desire here is simply to keep up with security updates from dependencies. There is no customer requirement to be using the latest dependencies, but this approach requires you to eventually adopt them and that creates a bunch of work throughout the entire lifecycle of the project.

I think the "safer" argument is moot because as a society a clear choice has been made where we preference convenience of the individual over the safety of the community.

If safety was the key concern for travelling by car, highways would have a 30mph limit, cars would require yearly inspection (common in Europe), and city centres would be car-free.

Making the "look how safe we are" argument in order to garner support seems like a fools errand.
We’re talking the kind of founders who are too young to be any sort of wise and pivot every time their VC coughs and whose only drive is to be fabulously rich.

If one wants to go along for the ride, they should really know what they’re getting into.
This is what the Web of Trust does but,

> This sort of trust is only as strong as it's weakest link but each individual can choose how far to extend their own trust.

is exactly why I prefer PKI to the WoT. If you try to extend the WoT to the whole Internet, you will eventually end up having to trust multiple people you never met with them properly managing their keys and correctly verifying the identity of other people. Identity verification is in particular an issue: how do you verify the identity of someone you don't know? How many of us know how to spot a fake ID card? Additionally, some of them will be people participating in the Web of Trust just because they heard that encryption is cool, but without really knowing what they are doing.

In the end, I prefer CAs. Sure, they're not perfect and there have been serious security incidents in the past. But at least they give me some confidence that they employ people with a Cyber Security background, not some random person that just read the PGP documentation (or similar).

PS: there's still some merit to your comment. I think that the WoT (but I don't know for sure) was based on the 7 degrees of separation theory. So, in theory, you would only have to certify the identity of people you already know, and be able to reach someone you don't know through a relatively short chain of people where each hop knows very well the next hop. But in practice, PGP ended up needing key signing parties, where people that never met before were signing each other's key. Maybe a reboot of the WoT with something more user friendly than PGP could have a chance, but I have some doubts.
Only somewhat related, but wasn't there a DIY biohacking[0] craze a few years ago, with people implanting rare earth magnets into the tips of their pinky fingers, waiting for the nerve endings to heal around the implant, and then supposedly gaining a 'sixth sense' of being able to detect the flow of current via their bionic pinky? Is that still a thing?

> do you think they're going to ship something that performs noticeably worse than its predecessor?

This happens all the time. Once the first gen devs are off, the releases tend to alternate. A decline from the existing version and then an improvement that mostly fixes what they made worse in the prior release. e.g. Windows XP -> Vista -> 7 -> 8 -> 10

The nature of AI though may make it more difficult to distinguish the failings immediately which could result in an irreversible inflection point.

Except we're talking about Covid. When all input costs were skyrocketing (according to the grocers themselves). Accordingly, there were no magical cost-saying measures or new efficiencies unleashed.

That tracks with their financial statements (no new efficiencies).

So, the only way to increase profit margin when input costs are rising is to raise prices more than your costs are rising.

As an aside... Loblaw's margin is upwards of 3.7% not 1%. Before Covid it was around 2% (give or take) for over a half century. The grocery industry may have low margins but they were remarkably stable. Until Covid.

It is, indeed, true that the dead-eyed psychotics who run the US view the world this way. As do many of the folks who have had that rule inflicted on them, inside the US and out.

Looking at the actual relations between, say, the Soviets and Korea or China or Vietnam and the picture of every state as a vassal of a larger state doesn't seem to hold- there are a lot of reasons the USSR was not as interventionist in various people in the US would like to believe. And there are a lot of reasons China and Iran are both viewed as monstrous threats by folks in the US (and their vassals) and thought of as benign (compared to the US) by much of the wider world: if you're not part of a multi-century colonialist project then "establishing world dominance" doesn't make sense.

If you see yourself as "the big dog" and you view a "dog-eat-dog world" as a historical necessity, then if you have enough resources you can create that reality.

"Waymo estimates that human drivers fail to report 32 percent of injury crashes;"

That seems insanely high to me. Maybe this is just a SF thing?

These articles seem to be pushing the safety aspect and saying they can do just as good as a human driver. This is progress and could be better than relying on a taxi or Uber human. But if you want to convince me to use it, it needs to be better than me, not the average. The average is human driver terrible. I would love to hear (and see!) more about how good these systems are at defensive driving. Ok, so you got rear-ended or another car ran the light - not your fault, but what steps did the car take to try to avoid it?

I've long envisioned a glue architecture around a scalable SmallTalk core. The ST bytecode can be run on various size compute cores from 8-bits to 64-bits. All the ST does is handle code flow. All compute is handed off to co-processors (Integer, floating-point, matrix, GPU, etc). The compute functions can be correspondingly scaled based on family design. The general goal is to allow thousands of cooperating compute processors with edge processors for communication.

That's not ironic. Governments and private companies are not the same kind of entities. They have different roles, different roots of legitimacy, different forms of accountability, different operational objectives, and carry different expectations.
How can it be the outcome of what we did right when it is leading to shrinking, aging populations struggling to pay for less and less used infrastructure? The only way we are avoiding becoming Japan 2.0 in the West is by immigration, and that's leading to the resurgence of far right politicians in Europe, which turned out very well the first time around.

I don't think we should grow the population forever. I also don't think we should shrink so smaller and smaller generations are burdened to pay for the life of older and larger ones.

The saving grace of JS is that the ecosystem had a reset when React came out; there's plenty of horrifying JQuery code littering the StackOverflow (and Experts Exchange!) landscape, but by the time React came around, Backbone and other projects had already started to shift the ecosystem away from "you're writing a script" to "you're writing an application," so someone searching "how do I do X react" was already a huge step up in best practices for new learners. I don't think PHP and its largest frameworks ever had a similar singular branding reset.

> File encoding is just ONE of the reasons I hate PowerShell and why it’s so obviously clear people who were not qualified to design a shell, designed a shell.

I find that unfair towards their creators. They invented a truly innovational shell, whereas everybody else continued the text-based approach. The object-oriented approach is so much simpler when it comes to process results of Get-ChildItem (ls) or Get-Process (ps) when you get objects with properties, instead of just text. Especially when in text-based shells it matters how you call e.g., ps (aux or -efH or whatever).

Now, I find your statement unfair, because in Linux world, you just create a new shell and whoever wants to use it, can.

At Microsoft, a successor to cmd.exe had to be shipped with Microsoft, otherwise it would never have been adopted. Most big companies would never allow a third-party open-source shell on their Windows servers. Therefore, you must navigate a big ocean of politics and powers, guarantee nackwards-compatibility and meet expectations of thousands of companies. This inevitably leads to behaviour like encoding that is frustrating to use. Until you read the docs, which state quite comprehensively what you have to expect - as you discovered yourself.
Yeah I used to work for the navy. Pay was standardized under the GS pay schedule and anybody could have looked that up. I was fine with that.

In the private sector, your comp is determined by a negotiation undermined by an asymmetric information disparity. HR at a hiring company has way more information around market comp as it is without having your exact current comp when they make an offer.

What I find particularly egregious about this is that management at this company had admonished me that my comp was 'confidential' and that I shouldn't discuss it, while simultaneously selling it to equifax.

The reasoning I heard is that it's explained by differences in personality across the two populations. One group is, on average, more assertive, and as a result more likely to negotiate higher salary.
If you take a higher perspective on your own arguments, you can sense what I meant earlier, that being pro-abortion (or pro-choice if you want to call it that), is attractive to intellectuals more for the thrills and challenges of finding arguments for something so wrong.

If a pregnant woman that you know in real life would come to you and say that she's deciding to abort her baby because she thinks it has no right to use her body to live, how would you feel in that situation? My guess is that your first instinct would be to think she's a psychopath or going through a nervous-psychotic breakdown.

But it is normalized, just with other arguments than are used in these online debates. The arguments are probably not even verbalized, because people doing abortions would rather not think about what they are truly doing and just get over with it.

Now think if a person you know in real life would come to you and say that they're going to start killing people of a certain group. My strong guess is that you would think they are a psychopath or going through psychosis. Probably you'd call the police.

Yet, this is also normalized whenever the rulers want war. Look at how both sides are dehumanizing each other in the Ukraine conflict, in the most disgusting ways imaginable.

I'm torn about this, actually. If a site is using an unusual font, I think it should be self-hosted.
