Now this is amazing, well done.
Startups do not have to worry about such issues until they themselves become incumbents, which they do after the previous incumbents were brought low by antitrust action.
Especially with companies like Motorola.
The 2022 Edge cost $400 on release. A bit over a year later it was on sale for $140.

Because reality is imperfect, and our perception of reality is even less perfect than that. And reality is full of "good enough" things, so if nature is "ok" with "good enough" things, why not artificial things?
Yes but there has to be a limit. Legislators western countries have agreed that this was around 14/18 with some caveats regarding age gaps. It seems most countries are ok with teenagers having sex lives between themselves but try to avoid relationships where an older man has a position of authority over the teenager. It seems sensible enough.

But I notice that he hasn't written at length about how teenagers should be able to vote before they are 18 that I know of. The fact that he is weirdly fixated over this issue reminds us of Gabriel Matzneff and others who were basically men who wanted to be able to have sex with teenagers because they enjoy it and had no issue with having power over their younger partner.

Teenagers are already allowed to have a rich sex life, what they need is more protection from older men not less.

I mean it is enough to read the report and the quotes to understand that that man is a militant and wants better acess to teenagers for sexual purposes. The report also does a good job of explaining what's wrong with it if you care about those issues.

Iterate on designs quickly in development. Build lots of the same thing in production. Smaller hardware helps for both phases.
Minecraft has a lot of bugs or otherwise surprising behaviours that parts of the community have come to rely upon. This means that most non-vanilla minecraft servers aren't 100% drop in replacements. You have to make a decision what behaviours you want vs the performance and simplicity gains you will gain.

For example there there are tricks that allow you to delete bedrock blocks. Which then lets you either get onto the roof of the nether, or drop below the bottom of the world. Not all of these tricks will then work depending upon the specific minecraft server.

Another example is that in vanilla you can "bomb" people with experience orbs, the sheer number of orbs on the screen will grind their game to a halt since there are too many objects to track and render. Some minecraft servers work around this by grouping up experience orbs into a single bigger orb. That way you have fewer orbs on screen at once.
120hz would’ve been nice… since they likely won’t make pro modal in this size.
Mathematicians don't care about utility, they care about whether a problem is on the boundary of solvability.
To me "light loses energy" is as absurd as scientists making up "Dark matter". This really tells me they are like math researchers solving problems by assuming a "constant" and solving it.
I don't think the problem is that people don't know what is making them gain weight. If it were, I don't think the rates of obesity would be as high as they are. I'm not saying it's impossible; you've done it, I've done it. I'm saying that at some point you have to have reasonable expectations about what you can expect from people at large .

I was curious, and looked in my paperback Merriam Webster american english dictionary that I used through out school and received about the time I first read HHGTTG. Conker is not present.

The big honking dictionary on a pedestal at the high school library probably would have had it, and if that was not enlightening then the library in the closest city that we visited monthly would have good encyclopedias that probably would have described it. But I don't remember the conkers reference catching my imagination, and probably wrote it off as a silly made-up sci-fi word.
I can’t find any mention of Stage Manager being supported on this device - so either it doesn’t, or the help pages haven’t been updated yet.

I will say though the criticism of the A-series getting hot doesn’t make sense. If the A-series gets hot, the M-series is going to be boiling in that tiny chassis.
I hope you enjoy it! I sure did. If you enjoy it, you might also enjoy jq (https://github.com/jqlang/jq), which is also a sort of logic programming language (in that it has pervasive generators and backtracking). Icon has an Algol family syntax, while jq is more... Haskell-ish? in a way if you squint hard? Whereas Prolog is a pile of rules. These differences are very interesting. Verse is another language in this vein, and it seems very interesting as well.

Unicode proves again that it went too far with fringe cultural things and left many landmines for us to step on. It’s a necessity solved at the completely wrong level.

Dark energy is a label for "whatever it is that causes the expansion of the universe which we have hard observations of."

Dark matter is a label for "whatever it is that causes the extra gravitation observed across multiple scales in the universe without also causing other indications of matter interaction like photon emission."

These are easy-to-hold handles for the collection of observations for phenomena we know to exist. We don't know the cause, but we know these things are occurring in the universe because we have demonstrated their existence through repeated observation.
We have 45M+ immigrants in the US. This does not count children of immigrants, only people who were born in another country and now live in the US.

That is 5x the total population of Switzerland.

> Meetups that are nothing more than an excuse to go drink at a bar (low quality engagements and conversations)

My favorite kind of networking meetups are those held at bars, and when you try to discuss work, the common answer is, "Let's not get into shop talk; I'm here to relax."

> "Let's meet this week" ... and then nothing, ghosted

The responsibility to follow up is also you.
I've been looking for a fun project to start and I'm already thoroughly enjoying this book. Kudos for making the writing particularly engaging.

Counterpoint: Not everything deserves thoughtful discussion, even here. Sometimes people get (or try to get) a boat-load of money to do a thing that's bad from first principles, because they lack experience in the relevant field. In my mind at least, that's perfectly fine to make fun of, because it's funny.

In the case of TFA: The airships as proposed solve none of the problems the author claims unless they just bypass customs and border control, which is, you know, a crime. And if your startup is hinged on the idea of committing nation-tier crimes at scale to succeed, that doesn't merit rebuttal. It merits mockery.

Hence why I mentioned the Satoshi, because that's also really funny, for similar reasons: because people who get really good at one complicated thing, in our cases here, programming; suddenly think that everything else is less complicated, and therefore easily handled "in the roadmap" and they go out and make fools of themselves for not doing literally a few minutes of solid research beforehand.

That said I will absolutely cop to the downvote comment. My bad there.
It's attracting a lot of investment not only from the Americans but also from outside investors. Even if most of those companies do not end up profitable, the workers that participated in the effort will have already gotten paid and the money will be absorbed by the economy.

And if it pays off some day, well there you go.

There are also foreign companies which will fill the market need. Also, there are other types of new businesses besides VC-funded startups. We will shop at boutiques and lifestyle businesses.

> being able to project their 2D apps if they want, right

That's how they want to kickstart the app ecosystem by not doing anything.

Any non-ported app with any non-trivial functionality is likely to break in both obvious and subtle ways especially around UX. Who's gonna support the app on the platform and deal with customer complaints? Apple? You? Or the dev who might not even have the device to debug it on?
I agree! I think people are used to comparing to a single threaded execution of non-vectorized code, which is using .1% of a modern CPU's compute power.

Where the balance slants all the way towards gpus again is the tensor units using reduced precision...
Right, but the license attached to a file doesn't make it clear whose diffs are whose. You don't think it would be a reasonable defensive measure to include a license so it's obvious who committed which changes on exactly which date? (Barring someone rewriting commit history, which they could do with licenses in code comments too.)
If you believe Darwin, there's no distinction between primary, "extra", or "real" purposes. All of these forces are in play all the time.
Once, if you're just talking about nuclear reactors. The reactor vessel didn't explode at Fukushima, just the outer building due to accumulated hydrogen. TMI didn't explode at all, the fuel melted but didn't breach containment.
Apple doesn’t have a reputation for letting engineers slack. I have to guess they are working like dogs to meet some standard before they are willing to release.
> they themselves become incumbents […] after the previous incumbents were brought low by antitrust action

Haha, you’ve never built a startup have you? Try it and let me know how easy it is to become incumbent. :)

“Oh no we have too much power, what are we going to do with it” is a much better problem to have than “the sun and wind are going down at the same time and we don’t have enough power, what are we going to do about it”.
Yeah, this is pretty cool and they can fuck off.
I went into Safari Settings and, under Feature Flags, turned on "Allow WebGL in Web Workers" and the site now works. I don't recall ever turning that off or messing with any other feature flags, so I'm guessing that this necessary feature is off by default in at least some versions of Safari. Web development must be so fun, I feel for you.
Ugh, my batteries need recharging.

Will nuclear powered phones with built-in fusion reactors that never need recharging ever be a thing?

You’re not missing anything. This is an easy problem aimed at people who are not familiar with basic combinatorics.
What does it matter what it was designed for? What matters is what they can do. We still don't know what this new class of computing substrate is capable of. It is premature to definitively say what they can't do.
Regarding variants, it continue to be more complex to buy a Microsoft Windows notebook.
This is 100% the kind of thing I was hoping for when daydreaming "what will the internet be like 20 years from now" growing up. Cool design, hilariously overpowered backend to do something basic (but do it so well), and 0 of the corporate feeling or ad apocalypse. Awesome stuff!
I wonder if that was their attempt to make the iPhone SE have a legitimate place with the other iPhones? Not sure, but it is interesting that no matter what, they always sell the SE.
> and not being able to properly dock it at a monitor is a real hinderance

Can you expand on that? It seems to support DisplayPort over USB-C, and there are a number of 1st and 3rd party adapters that have DP out, power in, and a USB2.0 plug for your other devices. What does “properly” docking it look like?
But search is a functional term, while consciousness is experiential. Deep philosophical problems exist because there are very puzzling things about existence. Changing terms doesn't make that puzzlement go away.

> Comical to suggest that AirBnB "ruined communities"

it has absolutely done so in the same way that a bunch of motels springing up in your neighborhood would completely change it and not necessarily for the better

it also greatly constrained the availability of housing for locals, therefore pushing up prices, so that people not living in the city could visit for cheaper; probably ok if you're in the tourism business, otherwise not
Global EV sales up 30.5% in September as China shines, Europe recuperates
And the way publicly traded companies are so beholden to shareholders.

What, have a profitable, efficient business with happy customers and workers? Well, we NEED to see growth, so better find a way to cut the operating costs - no matter how much worse it makes the product, how unhappy the workers are, etc. Better try to capture more of the market even if it makes 0 sense in context and will end up being a massive waste of resources.

It may run the business into the ground, but as long as there's a quarter of growth they can't see anything else.
Opinion seems divided on whether that’s the sole reason but it’s very probable it’s a major contributor.
Few points about India

1. Anyone claiming to know India well is either foolish or lying? (This includes Indians). India is diverse on all counts imaginable (color, language, wealth, urbanization, etc). Every permutation will throw up large number of people.

2. India consistently disappoints the pessimistic and the optimistic. If you see the bad side (poverty, chaos, etc) it is easy to bet that this country is going nowhere but this is just few scenes of long movie. There are other scenes and its easy to be absolutely bullish.

3. Think in absolute numbers as well and not just percentages. 3% in India translates to lot of people. It is more than the adult population of many countries. Apply this to any metric you will get large numbers on either side of the bell curve. So in India you will find 3% of the smartest and also the dumbest (in IQ terms) both in huge numbers. You will see these (only a subset of) 3% migrating to western countries and be hugely successful.

As per me the only way to deal with India is to accept its all hues and colors.
> Retro computer enthusiasts tend to use the "real" MsDOS or other era correct DOSses, so this isn't really a market where FreeDOS is used much.

As a retro enthusiast (and a FOSS supporter - full disclosure), I disagree. Whatever the project calls for, is what I would use - if a real era-correct DOS is called for, then I use that. If I want to use FreeDOS and it works well for that project, then I use that. I’m sure I’m not alone on this one.
You can get it in the public betas, but it’s very underwhelming and not useful. I’m surprised they’re talking this up so much to be honest.

Plaintiff is a lawyer. She's been using the service for close to a decade. Uber matched her with a guy who ran a red light. The only reason they are fighting this is because Uber has $$$$$. The drivers auto insurance should be sufficient
You are right of course: accessing and leveraging networks of power is not striving to become part of the power apparatus.

It is de facto evidence of being a part of the power apparatus, regardless of your intent in using it.
Yes, if you're lucky you'll pass out or go into shock or dissociate. But you might not get lucky.

I also wasn't focused only on predators. Actually being shaken around and ripped apart by a lion is probably not the worst way to go. You could die of a skin infection being attacked by maggots, or thirst, or drowning, or be picked at by scavengers while you are in the process of dying from something else. There are lots of ways to suffer on your way out.

Moreover, there are lots of ways to suffer tremendously and not die for a very long time, remaining fully conscious and aware of your suffering the whole time.

That’s a good point. I’m unsure how to frame my observation in a way that makes vets look like they are intentionally doing something wrong. I guess what I’m saying is when I work with a vet it’s hard to know if the vet is going overboard with diagnostics and tests because me, the owner, want to “do everything I can” for my pet.

It’s a tricky subject to phrase correctly and way to early in the morning to come up with a good example.
Does anyone here have insight as to the differences between the various versions of Apple's "Smart HDR" feature? Interesting to see it took the leap from Smart HDR3 (previous model) to Smart HDR 4 (new model), and yet the latest iPhones released last month apparently use Smart HDR 5.
Absolutely correct: You never had issues. Other people have built other software that does not use modern CSV libraries. They work just fine today and don't need to update, wouldn't even be possible for most cases in either case.

Please do consider that many software products will not change and they will still be actively used on production environments that you will never have interest about.

Emergent phenomena are just as real as fundamental phenomena in the plain spoken-language sense. A wall's existence is only subjective if you are prevented from walking through it but the cat passes right on through because it feels there's no wall.

Yours is not a common case. That was the original dream of AirBNB and the appeal of staying with a family in some far away place made it cool.

The vast majority of AirBNBs are the entire house or some separate guest cottage. Many are owned and managed by larger companies. Or by people who own multiple houses.

The individual home owner renting out a room so they can cover their mortgage has become more of an outlier.
Of course it does. LLMs are only good for small scale tasks

Incumbents by definition. Besides, crushing your local businesses in favor of foreign competition is not a very smart strategy.

Which are also obeying startups laws and thus are simply not started under an onerous regulatory regime.
You should try Directus! I'm using it for a project right now and it's very nice. It has the plugin folder you mention too.
Wouldn't delivery be done by quadcopter drones? There have already been pilots projects where Amazon does delivery by drone in a couple of places. I don't think they were a success, but an airship adds some constraints that might make the more viable. Downside is the copters needs to return to whatever altitude the ship is currently cruising at, which might be close to their ceiling.

But on a side note my first reaction to the headline of this article was "no they are not". Airships have a number of fundamental drawbacks that I don't think we are any closer to solving. Ultimately they're as slow as a cargo ship, can only carry a relatively small and light payload like an airplane, require specialized ports like ships and airplanes, and are expensive to build and operate. They just don't have a viable niche.
The US has been successfully producing small modular reactors since the 1950’s. We just happen to install virtually all of them inside of submarines and aircraft carriers.
