That’s a rather Euro-centric view of things (you’ll find the corresponding articles for the american continents are very different), but even still it’s missing the point. The question is whether this “critical mass” you speak of seeks to be a disciple of Christ (the group of people first ever referred to as “Christians”), not whether they have a particular interpretation of “God as depicted in the bible”.

It is, for instance, rather common to believe Genesis 1 is more of an allegory than an explicit recounting of God’s work, but that does not preclude someone from accepting Christ as their Lord and choosing to live as His disciple.
Congrats on the launch, Joshua! Super impressive work. I built a management app for T1D kids+parents, so I know how much work goes into a project like this. Happy to chat and share what I learned from my own attempt at this if that might be helpful.
> it reboots to re-enter "Before First Unlock" state for security. Why can't it just go into this state without rebooting?

I think the reason is to make sure anything from RAM is wiped completely clean. Things like the password should be stored in the Secure Enclave (which encryption keys stored in RAM are derived from) but a reboot would wipe that too + any other sensitive data that might be still in memory.

As an extra bonus, I suppose iOS does integrity checks on boot too, so could be a way to trigger that also. Seems to me like a reboot is a "better safe than sorry" approach which isn't that bad approach.

I beat doctors at diagnosing family members. It’s not hard, many doctors are terrible at diagnosis.
But they don't reboot them every time they fuel.

Commercial aircraft need continual software updates to operate. They are, in a sense, living, breathing machines. Things like navigation and terrain databases are updated inside of 30 days.

Adding a scheduled reboot is one more item on a checklist that was already being run through.

It's counterintuitive, but performing a reboot as a scheduled maintenance item is far more risk averse than going in and touching code that has been otherwise thoroughly tested and signed off by regulatory authorities.

The chances of introducing a new bug when attempting to repair the former presents additional risk to what amounts to a convenience issue.
I agree, the range has rarely been a problem for me. The battery runs out of juice about the time my butt needs a break, my bladder needs emptying, and my stomach needs filling. By the time I'm done with lunch, I'm good for another 250-300 miles, and I'm going to stop for the night at that point anyway. People doing >500 miles per day on a roadtrip are the outliers. Way, way outliers.

Devs trying out Devin and that kind of stuff have no excuse.
Tale as old as time sadly, although it takes a lot of skill to sift through all patient history to get the nuggets.

> Imagine devices that don't have built-in obsolescence, or licensing that expires, [...]

You can buy long lasting stuff just fine, if you are willing to pay. You can get eternal licenses (or an outright sale of rights), if you are willing to pay.

It's all about trade-offs, and many people have priorities that are different from 'last as long as possible'. Eg many computers from the 1980s are still perfectly usable today, but who would want to use them? I'm sure you can probably also still use your old rugged Nokia phone today, especially since they had easily replaceable batteries. But who would want to use a 25 year old dumb phone?

There are some enthusiasts which do use these old devices. And it's great that they can do so! Never say corporations don't deliver!

But by and large people have different priorities than wanting their obsolete tech to live forever.
And if they can't find the person who made the call to charge them for door repairs, then they shouldn't have busted down the door (and should pay for the repairs).

It depends on your user group, what are their needs? If they are novel writers, they should hope to have a tool that can use AI tools to generate images or videos of their works, so that their novels can be displayed to readers in more ways. If they are directors, they should hope to have an AI tool that can generate storyboard scripts or storyboard images and videos with one click. Unfortunately, there are already websites that I know of that can achieve this, such as PopShort.AI.
So how is it the company can “refuse to let them quit” or “force” an employee to go to a temple? What is the actual enforcement mechanism other than guilt?

While the acab is kind of rough, I'm absolutely with you on police accountability.

If there was open and honest accountability, I don't think people would have as many problems with the police.

The issue is that police operate in extremely high pressure novel situations all the time. Training only goes so far. After that, you're investigating mistakes versus violent intent.

I'm not sure that's easy to do, and I'm certain the public would never accept the finding that a police officer made an honest mistake, and won't be punished, but somebody got killed.
I was going to disagree with this because I thought "but what about the tests!", but in the linked video of Rob Pike's talk he says (paraphrased) "but then of course there's a test, so that every time it is tested, it guarantees that the library and the copied code agree on their definition. The test has a library dependency but the copied code doesn't".

That's actually a really clever way to do things and I think I'll adopt it.
Yes.

Also in case of emergency, eg after a power loss or whatever, you might have to do a reboot anyway. So you might as well make sure that this code path is well exercised.

I'd rather deal with a ground hog day of the system being for the millionth time in its first day of operation, than dealing for the first time with the system being in its millionth day of operation.
> I suspect a whole segment of people would be willing to consider a no-frills EV at a comparable price point.

GM made that play with the Bolt. It was routinely available for just over $20K. Still sat on lots, not getting a lot of love. People shopping for new cars want nicer toys, people who cannot afford new shop used and enjoy getting those nice toys at a discount. I bet the subset of buyers looking for a bare bones no frills brand-new car is quite small.
The Small Internet Has Succeeded
The answer is still Absolutely Not, especially since all food can involve a treatment decision for people with type 1 diabetes.

Pizza is a good example of why not. Slices come in very different sizes, sauces have very different carb content, so do crusts, and toppings.

Edit: for example this pizza(1) is 31g per slice and this pizza(2) is 73g per slice. The difference is very meaningful and the “general idea” given by photo recognition would likely be wrong to the point of dangerous for a diabetic in both cases.

If you’re looking for software that can make a guess simply for the sake of generating a number to write down and not be used in any way, a random number generator would be safer since the risk of output being misconstrued as actual information is much lower.

I see your point. You assume though that the taking on of the debt will lead to the solution. I disagree. Its extremely unclear.

The transition away from CO₂-emitting technologies is already underway, driven by market forces alone—solar power, for example, is now cheaper than oil. Proposing a substantial increase in global debt to further accelerate climate initiatives would need to demonstrate the following:

1. Spending Wisely: Invest in technologies that work and also do not introduce more problems.

2. Trusting Who Spends: Governments or others must use funds on solving the issue (not just giving money to cronies).

3. Global Cooperation: Countries working together (does Russia who sees warming as helpful comply).

4. Dealing With Inflation: The plan should address the inflation it causes, as it will raise living costs for people already struggling.

5. Better Use of Funds: Proving this use of funds is better than spending on other global issues.

This isn't really for sleep tracking. It's for sleep retraining. Basic premise is that falling asleep is a skill you can practice like any other, but it's hard to do that because you... well... fall asleep.

So this device is meant to ask you whether you're awake every minute (you say yes by tapping your finger) and once you stop responding, it triggers an alarm to wake you up. By waking up and falling asleep again repeatedly, you learn to fall asleep better.
Yeah, you can try this on the ChatGPT app. Take a picture and ask ChatGPT to give you the nutrition info, then do your own calculations based on weight and the USDA database and see how it compares.

"Dear Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE),

Here's a proposal on how to solve a $1.73 trillion problem aka the world's most inefficient government-backed market.

I'm talking about college student debt.

Today:
* Sellers (colleges) face zero consequences for failure
* Buyers (students) can't discharge debt through bankruptcy
* Taxpayers foot the bill for defaults

Two simple market reforms would fix this:
* Make student loans dischargeable in bankruptcy
* Require universities to underwrite 80% of student loans and eat losses

This would instantly:
→ Force colleges to care about graduate outcomes
→ Kill predatory programs that create no value
→ Drive down tuition costs naturally
→ Protect low-income students from exploitation
→ Create real accountability without complex regulations

When drug companies sell ineffective treatments, they face consequences.

Why do we let universities keep selling $200,000 "treatments" that don't work?

Time to bring market discipline to higher education."

It still works, as evidenced by the very active prank calls my neighbor's son plays on my wife and I.

Fear of retribution/not wanting to get involved is a real thing. Also are you proposing that 911 operators confirm people's real identities before accepting their call and dispatching someone?
Not the endgame by far. Maybe the endgame for LLMs, and I am not even convinced.

Maths is detached from reality. An AI capable of doing math better than humans may not be able do drive a car, as driving a car requires a good understanding of the world, it has to recognize object and understand their behavior, for example, understanding that a tree won't move but a person might, but it will move slower than another car. It has to understand the physics of the car: inertia, grip, control,... It may even have to understand human psychology and make ethical choices.

Fully autonomous robots would be the endgame.

None of what you mentioned backs up the idea that swatting used to exist in the past as it does now.
I wish I could become lucid during a recurring dream I've had since I was a teenager. I'm driving on a bridge over water. I look out the window and realize the bridge is either under construction or the draw bridge is coming up. Either way, I drive off. I've had this dream so often that I feel terrified driving over any bridge over water. Often I get the feeling “I've been here before” and the terror of the dream takes over. I've probably had that same dream a few thousand times.

Is it actually $10K more expensive? The F150 Lightning I just bought was cheaper than the hybrid version I was looking at buying. The Tesla Model 3 & Y seem to be priced pretty competitively, as well.
The most hilarious level is that 99% of bachelors that I know spend 99% of their time in 1 room.

So they don't really need more than a studio anyway. Nor would they clean/maintain it anyway.
Around 1000 people per year, which I absolutely agree is terrible - but at the same time, the population is over 300,000,000 so it stretches the meaning of the word to call it ‘regular’.

I agree. Voyager happened because of what you say. But then we cannot compare apples to orangutans by pointing out how Voyager rocked but all these for-profit endeavours sucked.
> I have a hard time feeling complainy about stuff like this because if engineers are doing their jobs properly, they’re implementing the defined requirements. Requirements are guided by business decisions on what matters and what doesn’t matter for a project.

Well, it's a bit of back and forth between business and engineering.

> So ultimately this means that if the argument is that the business is making the wrong decisions, then that means there’s an opportunity for someone to profit by proving them wrong.

Generally yes, but sometimes it's hard because of double-sided network effects. The classic example being expensive but prestigious scientific journals:

All the scientists and funding agencies would benefit from moving to cheaper journals, but an individual scientist will try to publish their best work in the most prestigious journal they can get.

(And often the complainers mix in some good old paternalism, too: 'oh, those customers are ill-informed and the companies are exploiting them by tricking them into buying inferior products and getting trapped.' or some story like that.)

> I love Voyager but it also cost something like a billion dollars. So it’s a bit unsurprising that it is such a resilient system.

The money was necessary, but not sufficient. Compare the great performance of the Voyagers with the disaster that was the Space Shuttle program or the ongoing farce that is the International Space Station.

This is just basic email deliverability 101 stuff.

Gmail's algorithm has really tightened up this year. Open your spam folder right now and you'll probably see more than a few legit businesses in there.

Basically if your engagement (opens, clicks, unsubscribes, complaints, etc as a percentage of total sends) is poor enough, Gmail will dump you in spam by default. They don't just "trust" that you have permission to email the people you're emailing. So many businesses abuse this, and they're incentivized to keep your inbox clean so you keep visiting your inbox (and click those Gmail ads!).

If you're getting low/declining engagement over time the algo just assumes you have poor sending practices, which to be honest, if that's happening, you probably do.
Thanks for posting that link. It's a must-read followup.
I don't think EVs are any worse than any other car. My F150 Lightning has precisely as much telemetry as the ICE version. Which is to say, more than I'd like. But I realize most buyers don't care.
This was my experience as well except even worse. When my employer was acquired by evil mega corp ISP, they took away our mediawiki and replaced it with confluence. But they also didn't give us write access and instead had a new technical documentation team doing it except they were just uploading Word docs to Confluence. We couldn't search for anything in the docs but even searching for article titles failed so we all just had to keep bookmarks to what we needed.

We have been using various tools to complete an AI short film in the first half of this year, from storyboard scripts - storyboard images - video - lip shapes - voice, which requires the help of many tools. But now we've brought these features together.We hope to help content creators, directors, online novel writers, designers, etc. generate images and videos with one click. Whether they just have an inspiration or a good script, they no longer need to switch between various tools, but use PopShort.AI to complete the process from idea or inspiration to script, from text to image, from image to video, and then to There are various tedious steps such as lip shaping and dubbing.

That's also observably not a thing. Castle Rock is a rather famous scotus case where the cops failed to do squat about a guy with a restraining order kidnapping his kids despite a law specifically saying that they shall act on said restraining orders and there was no allowable section 1983 claim against the cops just failing to act.
Blogging Through the Decades
If this were the case, I don't see why we'd need to wait for an AI company to make a breakthrough in math research. The key issue instead is how to encode 'real-life' statements in a formal language - which to me seems like a ludicrous problem, just complete magical thinking.

For example, how might an arbitrary statement like "Scholars believe that professional competence of a teacher is a prerequisite for improving the quality of the educational process in preschools" be put in a lean-like language? What about "The theoretical basis of the October Revolution lay in a development of Marxism, but this development occurred through three successive rounds of theoretical debate"?

Or have I totally misunderstood what people mean when they say that developments in automatic theorem proving will solve LLM's hallucination problem?
