I'm not so sure. Even in these threads we see specious distinctions between "natural" and "man-made" EMF.

But even then, it's impossible to discuss without talking about relative strengths. Wi-Fi transmits at about 100mW at full strength. For math purposes, let's assume it's a point source broadcasting in all directions. (That's not that much of a wild assumption, either.) The surface area of a sphere with a radius of 1m is about 12.5 m^2. On average, then, the Wi-Fi RF strength at 1m away is about 0.008W/m^2.

The sun above us delivers about 1360W/m^2 of RF radiation, or approximately 170,000 times the radiation of standing a meter from a Wi-Fi router. If it's across the room, 4m away, the ratio is closer to 3,000,000:1.

Even if our bodies responded to "man-made" radiation differently than the "good, natural" kind, there's so very little of it relatively that it can't make much of a difference. I mean, ever look at a 100W lightbulb? If Wi-Fi were at 400THz instead of 2.4GHz so that you could see it, it would be one thousandth as bright. There's just not enough power there to do anything meaningful to us.
Nothing is ever just pure CRUD, though. What would you say is the minimum level of business logic where one should consider Django the wrong tool for the job?

One of the problems I find is gradually complexity creep from the business. It starts off as a little clean method here, a signal there etc. Before you know it you've got a domain model tightly coupled to CRUD primitives.
It still might - that is an ongoing debate at the top of the chess world.

The number of people buying Apple devices for privacy suggests that quite a few people do not trust them, and while the rumors have flown around for years they’ve never been confirmed. That’s a contrast with, say, smart TV content recognition so it seems unlikely that Android phones are secretly monitoring what you say without anyone noticing the data being transmitted or the battery drain.

Ask HN: Why don't mobile apps use pure black for dark mode?
I know I probably shouldn't read on my smartphone before going to sleep, but I do. My phone (a recent Pixel) has an OLED screen, so black pixels emit no light at all.

I would have hoped that dark mode would mean mobile apps for reading (e.g. Substack) would use a black background, but many of them use something almost black. But I don't want my phone to act as a flashlight.

Readwise Reader works well, except:

- Sometimes I decide I must read the original page (due to some formatting or features that don't work in the Reader view).

- (Sometimes only?) articles I sent to reader via email don't show up in Dark Mode, even if I manually select it

Firefox with the Dark Reader extension works well, except that the top and bottom bars aren't quite black (even though Dark Reader can make the page background black).

Am I doing something wrong? Or is my preference (pure black) unusual?

Can you explain why you think user fees are a conflict of interest?

Yes, my point was that that person having a position where they are able to do that is already wrong. If a car salesman was telling every woman that came in they should get an abortion, there are places that person should be, and none of them are a car dealer's.
It's worth noting that the "user fees" component of the FDA's budget isn't growing primarily because the FDA has increased those fees, but because Congress have consistently authorized new categories of feeds corresponding to changes in the medical environment. That paints a very different (although incomplete) picture than the FDA raking in cash: they're collecting fees to compensate for a larger regulatory picture, including new drug classes and categories developed over the last 30 years.

This is broken down on the FDA's website[1].

I 100% know what you mean. I went through a phase where I'd measure out 3 ounces of cashews and have that as a lunch because it was fast, and measuring meant I wasn't taking in too many calories. Always irritated my gut though, anything high in fat did it.

I don't do that on GLP-1s, partially because fat doesn't immediately send me to the bathroom anymore, but also partially because I'm not drawn to high fat meals anymore. Except when thc is involved and then some ice cream might happen.

Luckily, it's entirely irrelevant. Simply not latching on assuages people's "creep" factor and besides, the idea is to get YOU to accept chatting not the other way around.

From my view:

/Ok ready? uhhhh ooooo here goes!/
Me: "Hey nice shoes."
You: "... thanks?"
/OMG I DID IT/
Me: "this is my stop, have a great day!"
/OMGEXCELLENTFINISHSOHAPPY/

From your view:

Me: "Hey nice shoes!"
You: "Thanks" (weirdo)...?
Me: "this is my stop, have a great day!"
You: /wow, ... i think he genuinely just wanted to give a compliment. didn't even try to bum money off me. huh./

...

point is - doesn't matter if they're confused or surprised you spoke to them. there's an assumption that if you speak up you must be out to manipulate them (sell something, convert someone, beg, etc.) and when you prove youre not, you help normalize ambient conversation AND fix your own sense of isolation.
It just feels a closed collaboration between Samsung and Google at this time. And there is too much unknown.

Meta apparently isn't onboard, and they don't need to. Meta knows they can't rely on Google or trust Google, so they built their own Android based platform.

There really are just a few big players in the VR world, most of which build their own platform. Meta focuses on the lower end, Apple and a few others focuses on the higher end (I am still not sure that's a real market where there is money), and Sony has just about abandoned their platform. That's it.
Well yeah, to an extent. But i think the elders here are also relying on their experience in the before world to calibrate their "is this socially acceptible" meters. Young people have never seen a world where strangers spoke on public transport. They have seen media where young people think it's weird that random old's try to talk to them. They went to high school where every break between class was at least as much phone checking as speaking to any other person. They've been raised to think this is normal, so to them it's simply an obvious conclusion that speaking to other people is weird.

Now, you're correct that if they just fucking did it, it'd _probably_ be fine. But what happens when they try to speak to their peers who scoff and ignore them? Or when every person they try to talk to simply can't hear them. Or when there simply isn't a place to go after school and chat, and all social interaction stands on phone organizing as a prerequisite.

Yes, if they broke the seal on interpersonal interaction they'd see that almost everyone is actually positive and happy to speak and make friends. But that seal is getting harder and harder to break every day

I largely agree, especially when focused on consumer devices. Professionally I'm building a product built on top of AOSP, and it's been really nice to have a standard target and all the tooling that Android brings. It could be better but the base AOSP does have a lot of value as a general purpose OS.

I'm in the midst of debating moving us to just Linux or sticking with Android, and the list of things to replace isn't insignificant.

On reflecting on all you have said in this thread here, I have come to see that there is an argument to settle this issue once and for all. It goes like this:

1: If there is no way to distinguish true thoughts from false ones, all thoughts become meaningless.

2: Not all thoughts are meaningless.

3: There is a way to distinguish true thoughts from false ones (from 1 and 2.)

4: The only way to distinguish true thoughts from all others is if there is a correspondence between the thought and the reality.

5: There is a correspondence between true thoughts and reality (from 3 and 4.)

6. Nothing immaterial corresponds to reality.

7. Anything not immaterial is material (from the law of the excluded middle.)

Conclusion: True thoughts must be material (from 5, 6 and 7.)

- So there you have it!

I see. Well, I believe AI will really be useful for programming (as opposed to gluing libraries together until it passes the tests) when it will acquire the ability to reason properly enough with new concepts. But then, they will also benefit from better languages, exactly like ourselves.

Absolutely, it's fair to say there's a cost to dedicating huge amounts of time to anything, including work and school. I'd argue that people waste more time than they appreciate with inane things like scrolling Instagram/Tiktok, commuting. Everyone need to be somewhat aware of the microeconomy of their life, and there's some sweet spot where you're making decent money, not spending too much time working, not spending too much time getting to work, spending as much time as reasonable with your kid(s) when they're young if you have them and with your partner if you have one, engaging your own interests, and ideally taking care of yourself physically. It's all quite a lot.

When it comes to that category of your own interests, I don't really think one can afford not to spend time on them, lest you hollow yourself out. Whether any one thing is worth the time over another, like grinding papers vs travel, they're not always mutually exclusive; although trying to do both in parallel might be silly, I personally like to shift my attention periodically. I'll go and spend a few months learning, and then go adventure. I don't that much, but I'm happy to meet up with friends and do that too, and it means taking time away from video games or learning, and that's important too.

Even gaming 8 hours a day, the difference between a B580 and a more efficient card multiplied by the cost of the electricity over ~3-4 years is...next to nothing.

I'm not saying Intel shouldn't improve that aspect, they should. But to me it's kinda silly to focus on.

As for using B580's for compute, I don't really see the appeal when so much more powerful options exist.
> it is also due to things just being worse and more difficult.

Is it more difficult, or do we have greater expectations?

I look to my grandparents' generation and they "settled" for their neighbours as friends. I seriously doubt they were perfect soulmates, but they put in the effort to make it work and ended up quite close as a result. Whereas people in my generation seem to want that instant spark. If that isn't felt, they keep looking instead of working on building a relationship with who is there. Nowadays, becoming anything more than an acquaintance with your neighbour is almost unheard of.

I have an FCC certification vouching that I know what those words mean. Your linked diatribe says, quote, "All types of man-made EMFs/EMR". All. Antennas are polarized because that's the easiest way to build them, and the polarization has nice properties.

A standard incandescent lightbulb creates about 100W of unpolarized RF from around 400THz to 750THz. It is manmade, it's an RF emitter, it is not polarized, and it's something everyone older than the age of around 10 has spent their entire lives around.

So either the author is completely wrong in sentence number 2, or they're implying that visible light isn't RF. Either way, they're wrong, and you can ignore the rest of their claims.
The US tech industry will still be in a recession. The war against Chinese offshoring will work, but at the cost of thousands of jobs in the American tech labor industry. American businesses will become more frugal as a result and invest heavily in lobbying and future defense against the DOJ. Software startups will become more popular and less successful, hardware startups will begin waning as investors lose appetite for high-margin, high-risk entrepreneurship. ZIRP will make a return as the US realizes this, but investors will fuel a liquidity crisis that dissolves most struggling businesses.

2027 will be a more concentrated tech market with fewer small players and more money going toward "sure thing" investments in businesses with a clean track record that are too big to fail. This would be great for established high-risk brands like Tesla, provide plausible deniability for economists that only wanted to put America first, and likely crush most chances for small businesses to compete. Assuming the Trump administration intentionally gimps the DOJ (I mean, why wouldn't they?), America will be at the whims of it's own wily market.
