Author here - check that the revealed ships in your puzzle are keeping their particular shape. E.g. a revealed-at-start "D" shape ship-end can't be the middle of a ship, or an "O" submarine, or face a different way that it's initially facing. 99.9% of the time people report this, it's a confusion about that aspect (if you can think of a way I can make it clearer definitely let me know!).

We had shampoo before the widespread usage of plastic bottles, though you are right that they used to come in glass. Perhaps we could use that fancy unbreakable soviet glass.

This is an underrated take. Apple, especially, wants to leverage their excellent silicon to do “AI” locally in the name of privacy purely as a marketing advantage, but the tradeoffs there are major (burning my battery instead of data center AC power, plus, my phone will never be better or faster than some big metal GPU with fans), and the privacy issue could just as well be solved by doing a good job designing the server side architecture and educating people that unlike when talking to a person, it’s trivial for a model to “not learn anything from” a conversation, and that that’s in fact automatically how it works unless you’re logging the conversations and purposely feeding them back in.
I think things have accelerated over the last decade or two with the computer always connected to the internet that we call a phone and the advent of _influencer_ and algos that pray on people's FOMO. Not only food places are getting the treatment.
I need better speech to text. I have to repeat my text message 5+ times sometimes when sending it through carplay. I'm not talking about anything long either. A handful of words that my accent just doesn't work with. More than once per day I get fed up enough to pull over and text it.
I'd assume it would have been pretty similar but we'd be running on Motorola CPU's (or a descendant of them)

The platforms would have needed to be opened up to clone builders to reach critial mass.

Amiga was a lot like DOS/Classic Mac OS, single user, unprotected memory...we would have seen it added on to like Windows 3.x/9x, until a re-written version with the right stuff took over (like Windows NT/2000/XP did).

Someone like Linus would have still likely written a UNIX clone and open-sourced it.

The minicomputers and UNIX servers/workstations would have still hung around for a while. The real trick is the Amiga CPU and the rest of the hardware would need to keep getting improved, catch up in speed, reach 64 bits, SMP...
You mean like perfume and cosmetics? Sturdy glass with carpets near the bathroom sink and the shower will do the trick. I'll take a few cuts through my life over cancer and chronic diseases.
Funnily enough, I test code generation both on unpaid Claude and ChatGPT.

When working with Python, I've found Sonnet (pre 3.5) to be quite superior to ChatGPT (mostly 4, sometimes 3.5) with regards to verbosity, structure and prompt / instruct comprehension.

I've switched to a JavaScript project two weeks ago and the tables have turned.

Sonnet 3.5 is much more verbose and I need to make corrections a few times, whereas ChatGPTs output is shorter and on point.

I'll closely follow if this improves if Claude are focussing on JS themselves.
With discipline, it is both more expressive by having a better and more powerful type system, and faster by allowing much finer control over code execution, data layout and allocations as well as offering actual GC tuning options. .NET's compiler is much more capable too, and the rate of improvement is not slowing down. It also has much richer package for writing line-of-business applications productively. The main advantage of Go used to be and still is "culture". But once you apply such minimalism mentality to C#, it gives a much better end result.
Could you drive at all in a Waymo outside of a strictly geofenced area in a handful of US cities?

Absolutely not. But how many people want to hire a taxi to drive them cross country? Near zero.

They are approaching this from two fundamentally different directions.

Correct. One has a working robotaxi. The other has some marketing concepts.
That's an interesting question.

When you select and copy text, text data (typically UTF-8 encoded) is copied to a temporary area called the clipboard (except on X11, where the clipboard doesn't actually exist). When you select and copy an image, the pixel data (24bpp or 32bpp bitmap) is copied to the clipboard. This means you can copy text or image data from one application and paste it into another.

When you copy and paste files within a file manager, data isn't transferred across applications. The data copied is just text data with a special tag indicating it was copied from the file manager. When you paste it, the file manager performs the copy action from one filepath to another. Similarly, when you copy clips within a video-editing application or 3D models or anything more complex than just text and image, it's all done by copying a reference to the data within the application, so you can never paste it outside the application.

You can't, for example, copy a video from DaVinci Resolve and paste it in KDEnlive. You also can't copy and paste audio data.

For some reason, the clipboard is confined to text and image.

The same applies to drag and drop, by the way. If you drag and drop an image to a file manager, either it will pass a URL (text data) and the file manager handles downloading it from the source, or, on Windows, it gives the file manager the filepath of the image the browser already downloaded in cache so it copies without downloading anything.

> I’ve got an appointment with Apple to replace the battery in my iPhone 13 mini.

I literally was in the Apple store yesterday for the same purpose (with a 12 mini). I'd also love the new features and hardware, but after trying all the available sizes in the store, they're all too big.

My wife on the other hand(s), loves to have a phone she needs to hold with two hands to even be able to use, so obviously she has the Pro Max. I don't understand how people are OK with that, but to each and their own...
Where in the world did you get that 30% number? Even on Boeing's worst planes, the chances of any incident are still much more like 0.003% or something like that. "30%" is just fearmongering.

>Unless the other thing is asbestos or generally any kind of mineral/anorganic material - pneumoconiosis [1] is nasty in all its variants. There is no mechanism at all for your body to break down or expel anorganic contaminants in your lungs.

Yup. I was thinking of heading off comments like yours by mentioning silicosis or lead poisoning but didn't want to clutter up a simple clarification.

Anyway, still mostly safer than "happy to react with things" compounds which is why people like you get to make comments about it here and now vs it simply being a thing everyone has accepted is not good to breath for hundreds of years (like certain wood dusts)
> I'm all for pushing back on chemicals wherever possible, especially in food packaging, but let's be real.

The devil is that food that comes pre-packed under vacuum or inert atmosphere in plastics lasts much, much longer than food that gets stored in anything else - including tin cans by the way, they're all lined with plastics because acidic food would otherwise literally eat away the can.

With mixlayer, because the round trip time to the model is so short, you can alternate between appending known tokens of the JSON output and values you want the model to generate. I think this works better than constraining the sampling in a lot of cases.

We haven’t built a state machine over JSON schema that uses this approach yet but it’s on the way.

My Sonim XP3+ has a hard shell replaceable battery and lasts a week and a half on a charge. It's not even a very expensive device, it's under $150! ;) But it is a flip phone running Android Go with no apps...

That said, I think the tradeoffs being made right now are probably the right ones. Apple's latest devices have gone to an electrically released sort of adhesive (versus the older pull-strip removeable adhesive, which is a big step up from the "glue it in" approach many vendors take), and for a given volume, you get more battery if you can rely on the phone to protect it from damage - which is why almost everything with an internal battery uses some variety of pouch cell. They're quite a bit more fragile than the hard-cased batteries, but you get a lot more battery in the volume than you do with the hard cased ones.

As long as it's not incredibly irritating to replace the battery, I'm fine optimizing the daily use thing (battery life in a given phone size) over the once-every-few-years thing (replacing the battery).

The foldable phone thing later in the article is fun, because I actually do want a foldable phone. I'd love to have a smaller phone with a screen that gets bigger for things like watching movies while traveling.

But the thing is, before buying one I borrowed one from a friend and it was absolute shit! The software hardly worked, the hinges felt horrible to open and it was still too big even when folded up. I thought I was going to break it constantly while holding it.

Doctor salary is not the only or perhaps even the main factor in healthcare expensiveness, but taking on the overall cost disease in healthcare would broaden the scope too wide for this thread, I think.

Also, I admit that the balloon may in fact never pop, since one theory says that healthcare costs so much simply because it can. It just expands until it costs as much as possible but not more. I'm leaning towards accepting Robin Hanson's signaling-based logic to explain it.
Your link shows seniors making $241k, not sure where you got $332k from.

The point is, even people making $241k will feel a 6.5% decrease in pay astronomically more than someone going from $84m to $79m. At that level there is negligible drop in quality of life, and the concept of "cutting back" pretty much does not exist.

This is still a performative act, the intention is nice, but it's performative nonetheless.

> Based on the fact that easily 90+% of phones I see in the wild have cases on them, physical size and thickness isn't a big factor

Everyone says this, but I wonder if the sales data says otherwise, because device manufacturers, especially Apple, REALLY love to advertise how thin their devices are.

Personally, I don't want a super thin device because I feel like the slightest bending force is going to snap it in half. It's absolutely wild to me that people will store their phones in their back pocket.
Why the Insurance Industry Rationally Fails Its Social Purpose
I wonder what Waymo sees as the limiting factor to expanding to the top 24 US metropolitan areas in the next 12 months: affordable vehicle availability (e.g. tariffs on Zeekr), all-weather performance in northern climates, regulatory limitations?
Why is `f3` safe?

My thought (which is apparently wrong) is that the `const int& x` refers to memory that might be freed during `vector::push_back`. Then, when we go to construct the new element that is a copy of `x`, it might be invalid to read `x`. No?

Is this related to how a reference-to-const on the stack can extend the lifetime of a temporary to which it's bound? I didn't think that function parameters had this property (i.e. an implicit copy).
I'd love it if CarPlay/Siri just could read out stuff it finds on the Internet. Currently, all I can get out of it is "Sorry, I cannot show this to you right now" for basically everything except trying to control multimedia.

At one point, I had ChatGPT working via voice in CarPlay mode (via Shortcuts I think?), but seems like Apple disabled that at one point, for some stupid reason probably.
> But it's inescapable, for example, that education rates are now strongly negatively correlated with fertility. While "level of education" is obviously not inherited genetically, I don't think it's too much of a stretch to hypothesize that genetic factors play a role in someone's educational attainment. And, currently, the more education you get, the less likely you are to reproduce (statistically, of course).

Far from inescapable, this is just a phantom of noisy data.

It's easy to find statistically communicative population slices where family size is quite high and so is level of education (ignoring that "level of education" is a culturally specific and disputable measure in the first place).

What we really see is that integration into the modern US/EU-inspired "universal middle class" urban culture, which now spans the globe, seems to correlate with lower birth rates and family sizes. But there are countless factors contributing to what makes that culture unique and that could easily be playing a role in the birth rates and family sizes.

That said, it does suggest that the this "modern" culture needs to induct outsiders in order to maintain its scale since its proving relatively poor at growing its own population among insiders. What that means for the future is unclear, and if you're personally all in the on the "modern", it can easily look concerning or even bleak in the way you describe.
Researchers have long known about the positive correlation between how much red meat a person eats and that person's chance of developing colorectal cancer. There are plenty of large behavioral health surveys that show this. So the audience for this article will understand the context. Heck, they might even find this article by searching "red meat colorectal cancer" in a database.
What are you supposed to look at? The center red dot?
The problem is, vast majority of smartphone usage is done for entertainment and social networking purposes (IG, TikTok, Twitter, HN, gaming, Netflix and etc.). If you’re mostly scrolling and consuming, I can’t imagine how current AI tooling can help you other than some summarization of texts. Sure, for productivity cases it might be legitimate, but that’s not what supermajority of people use a phone for.
There's a lot of (warranted imo) skepticism there too. Im sorry I can't find the citation but there was a Japanese paper out this year that claimed the ml post processing of the EHT data produces a qualitatively similar image given random data.
Apple has always sucked in AI and they have never formed the culture necessary to enable and attract top ML talent. They developed Siri years ago and have stagnated since.

As far as the future of compute goes, Meta seems like it has a much more compelling argument with the Orion glasses and their investment in AI.

Are 55% happy to pay a monthly fee?

>34% have privacy concerns.

66% have no privacy concerns?

I said "Hey Google instead of reminding me about the bananas on Tuesday, remind me on Wednesday" and that worked. It's quite possible these things only work on Android 15 QPR 1, or only on a Pixel Pro, or who knows. Its capabilities have noticeably expanded in the last few months. One thing I know it still can't do, that the old Assistant did, is control a Sonos.

Something I would like to know is how much lifetime annotation you can infer (recursively) from the function implementation itself. Compiler driven, IDE integrated, automatic annotation would be a good tool to have.

Some amount of non-local inference might also be possible for templated C++ code that already lack a proper separate compilation story.

I've used both systems. Each have annoyances. The Dexcom system can't be silenced and has an insane unstoppable firm "your sensor will expire in 6 hours", so unless you reset your sensor in the afternoon or evening this will wake you up and has woken me up at 4AM. I had to hide the Dexcom sensor in a watertight cigarette case to silennce the alarms. Both brands mobile apps hold you hostage and will not allow going do not disturb. I'm currently on Freestyle 2 with their own reader, which is silencible and I use a third party app Juggluco from some Dutch Diabetic. That app is quiet and gets realtime readings via bluetooth, it flakes out some times but it is great to have a second reader. Juggluco also gives me a bonus extra 12 hours at the end of the sensor life, so I'm slowly building up a reserve in days and eventually will have an extra sensor in que. https://www.juggluco.nl/Juggluco/index.html

the math is

m^2 c^4 = E^2 - p^2 c^2

where m is mass, E is the total energy in the decay products and p is the 3-vector sum of the momentum.
