The "our" in "our adversary" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Adversary to who? The 0.01% who are CEOs, IP holders, and State Department goons for sure, but I don't think the average American has any reason to fear China over their own government.
This blog post is a really good argument. The kicker for me was that we all generally switch to rounding when asked for the hour (without minutes) but don't round when asked for the minute (without seconds). That's an inconsistency for which there doesn't seem to be a good reason.

However, this inconsistency only exists orally. When a device displays the time, it never rounds. Changing the convention would probably be very confusing for a lot of people, at least initially.

For now, I'm convinced that when communicating the minute orally, I should round to the nearest minute, just like I do with hours.
Exactly. The problem is not that corporations have free speech. Rather, it’s that we have effectively no bounds on their growth, allowing their voices to drown out the citizenry.
In addition to the already very thorough and well-considered comment replying to this, I just wanted to say that the iPod was one of the first MP3 players that was widely available with a full-blown hard-drive. The vast majority of MP3 players at the time had like 32-64MB of flash memory, if that (and still cost hundreds of dollars). The iPod had 5GB and 10GB models. Suddenly you could bring your entire CD collection with you anywhere. Yeah, there were a couple of competing models with similarly-sized hard drives, but the other comment covers why people spending >$400 on a fancy new gadget preferred the iPod at the time for its excellent UI/UX.
True crime is about real life. Of course true crime stories affect real life.

A more unexpected and interesting headline would be if fictional crime stories were affecting real life (which they do by giving people unrealistic expectations of detectives and crime labs and witness testimony etc).

This is liking saying that water affects moisture.
In my opinion, that’s the magic of programming languages. I type a few high level words and characters, then there is a deep stack of interpreting the strings into machine code and returning data and side effects. It is stupid simple as the end user and immensely complex chain of machinery.

SQL is an extreme example of strings parsed to make complex computer behavior. Shell scripting too.

For enforcing complete object correctness and interfaces as they are explicitly designed then low code no code seems like it has a better proposition.

Anyway, maybe structured editors fit a space between dumb strings and pointing and clicking blocks and connectors. I’m all for correct tool for the job and end user. I think that minimizing end user tooling with some LSP go-to definitions and linting in a text editor is my preference. Similar to how FIFA used to be against high tech slow mo replay for soccer matches to make the sport egalitarian / accessible for the whole world I think that analogously programming should focus on the simplicity and portability of authored documents.
WordPerfect's GUI releases were yuck. Late to the scene and lost the essence of WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS. I'm not surprised that Word won that battle.
You do not need an internet account to coordinate devices.
Used lunchmoney for years before moving to CoPilot couple of years ago. Can vouch for both of them to being great. I just moved to CoPilot because they got macos and ios apps unlike lunchmoney (web only back when I used it)
TikTok is indeed laden with pro-China propaganda. It also censors, outright or algorithmic demotion, content critical of the CCP. It also censors tons of other stuff unrelated to the CCP.

It doesn’t even need to be ideologically aligned; simple pursuit of engagement is sufficient motive for the observed behavior.
Exactly. Not having political battlegrounds makes companies better. Whereas, it sounds like you're saying having people to fight in the battleground is the goal.
If we hypothesis perfect performance, the philosophical question is if that's a distinction without (or with) a difference. Perfect performance would simulate semantic understanding, no? More relevant to the real world though, how do we rate imperfect performance? If a Chinese Room that I have access to can make some logical leaps but not others, how do we rate this artificial intelligence? We have words to describe humans with insufficient semantic understanding but they are not usually able to write/generate cromulent essays on basically every topic.
It's more about roll forward/backward and services with a master+replica or leader election. That PVCs are common in stateful sets is more a symptom than the cause
The government has yet not laid out a strong, unclassified case for that issue to the citizens. If it exists, should it be laid out as such, so these discussions become more meaningful?
i vote we move to the korean system where everyone gets a year older on January 1st
That’s impressive levels of cognitive dissonance that must be at play behind that comment.
There is the EU AI Act which heavily regulates the use of facial recognition, but I feel that we as “the people in tech who makes these things” should be a lot more conservative in creating frameworks, abstractions and generally advancing/facilitating facial rec use.

It’s even more shocking as this library also incorporates a great deal of cultural bias. e.g. gender, emotion are attributes which vary a lot more than what the models allow for.
It's fascinating because I came to a similar conclusion while working with very old IBM mainframe code editors (AS400 / IBM i "Source Entry Utility")

It's nearly impossible (if you read the docs) to write something with bad syntax on those machines. Columns are semantic in most of the languages (COBOL, RPG, DDL). When you write a program, if you don't know what you're doing, you can press "F4" and it will show you what each column means and when/how to use it [0]. It's not exactly a structured code editor, but it shares some similar concepts (see the link; you often write code in a "prompt" at the bottom of the screen, and the line won't insert until it's complete, though you can write it by hand if you wish).

All of that said, IBM's old SEU is still vastly inferior to modern text editors and IDEs, mostly because of the limited view window and the lack of syntax highlighting / basic modern features [1].

I think that, especially for enterprise code/development, there are some benefits to structured editing that are worth exploring. Not having a linter shout at a partially-complete line because you paused for a second or two would be nice, as well.

No they're not, at least not in Ottawa at 2AM. They might do a quick blip at an intersection but generally they run silent. There was a massive difference between the train horns and the sirens. The horns were continuous, sirens are very occasional and short.
If the arbitrary input is, say, a text box which takes a name and puts it into a database, it probably won't uncover any bugs.

It has some use if you build something like a complex pricing engine, numerical code or a parser for a mini DSL. I find that problems of this type don't crop up a lot though.
I don't think this applies to Elizabeth Tower/Big Ben, as it's an analogue clock and, from footage I can find[0], its minute hand appears to move continuously opposed to in steps. (or at least, not in full-minute steps)

Also, I believe it's wrong to say "the average error would be 0" if rounding to nearest minute. The average offset would be 0, but the average error would be 15, to my understanding.

I more meant untinkerable than unhackable. Oops, oh well.
Yes big money likes that concept very much.
> Hours: That's when mentally, I switch to rounding! At 15:48 I definitely feel like it's pretty much 16:00.

Disagree. I would never round to a full hour, only to nearest 5 minutes.

As far as minutes, for clocks that show discrete minutes, it'd be weird to see the minute-hand snap to the next number and think "oh, it's actually 29 seconds before that number". Seeing the snap motion means you're at :00 seconds.

Besides, for a clock that doesn't show seconds, it really doesn't matter. If you need more precision, you just use a timepiece with the extra precision.
I think the point of the man/woman version of the game is that it lets Turing propose his question in relative terms. He doesn't ask "can the machine fool somebody N% of the time?" (as several in this thread imagine), but rather "can the machine fool somebody as often as one person fools another under similar conditions?".

> Your interpretation of it hadn’t occurred to me before,

The idea of a Turing Test is pretty widely understood to mean a test where a person guesses which responses come from a machine, not where they guess someone's gender. So my interpretation here is just that the paper says what most people think it says.
Purely from a realpolitik perspective I can't see a Tiktok ban happening.

It has been a wildly successful propaganda machine for the ruling class, and ByteDance's extreme right-wing major shareholder Jeff Yaas[1] has enough money to buy the supreme court many times over with change from his couch cushions. The fact that the SC is already putting a pause on the shutdown should've made it clear that Tiktok won't be harmed.

> MacWrite was released in 1984. 7 years before comparable graphical, WYSIWYG competitors.

You realize there were other systems besides PC and Mac?

Signum for the Atari ST came out in 1986. It was a fully fledged WYSIWYG text processor with special printer drivers for regular dot matrix printers. Even with a 9-pin you could create great looking output, if you had the patience (a single page took minutes to print). Signum was way ahead of MacWrite and was very popular with people needing special fonts in science/math and the humanities (you could quite easily design your own fonts). Also, it allowed for Right-to-left text, and of course the Atari ST was way cheaper than the Mac.
By this logic, the author must also tell people it's "2024" until July 3, and that we're still in the 20th Century until 2051.
At this point, anyone calling AI a trend sounds like someone calling electricity a trend.

Believe it or not, there are paradigm shifts in technology every now and then. Not everything is 3D television.
Liberals did not "give up power" in the US. They lost power in the US. That's not the same thing.
A thought experiment:

Would US independence have been achieved if the internet existed and the British crown had the ability to use that money to influence Americans?

IMO it's at least contrary to the spirit of the constitution, which was about giving the People the power.
I was able to navigate the transit systems in Tokyo, Osaka, and Yokohama near-flawlessly with Apple Maps in 2018. I only recall encountering one correctness issue.
Oh, this is really cool, and exactly what I'm looking for, but uh, I really wish I could test it! Thing is, I probably can't. I use a screen reader, so I doubt the interface would work for me, but maybe I'll try it, just for fun.
Getting rid of the time side then, think of it as an orbit. If the universe was expanding then something could be orbiting slower than gravity would allow. Basically this question keeps bringing me back to the ties between mass and the expansion of the universe. No matter how you look at it mass must be special when it comes to expansion because it is either giving off 'free' energy in the form of slow orbits and acceleration between two objects or it -isn't- giving off that energy and something is canceling it out. Following this rabbit-hole is pretty interesting at a minimum.
Yes, understanding comes first and types come second. But being able to comfortably create types for your domain is a good sign you have sufficiently analyzed it.
I've been self hosting a .net email domain for decades.

I don't really have the problem you're describing.

Depending on the recipient, I do sometimes reitterate the .net TLD, but that's it.

I would say a more significant issue would be having a custom domain name that's too long, as this increases the liklyhood that it will be misspelled.
How do you press Ctrl-Tab? At least for me that is a very common shortcut, among other things it cycles tabs in e.g. Firefox.
Ah ok, seeing it now - thanks!
They'd also need to bribe lawmakers to add an exception to the foreign agents law that allows the Chinese to donate to people running for US office without needing to register as foreign agents.
They actually have quite a few examples in the axum repo and linked from their docs. Something a bit more use-friendly and approachable like Bevy's website would be beneficial, though.
Oh gosh, just what I needed, another clicker game. This is excellent!

Tip: On Firefox at least, you can right-click the videos (slime, mukbang, etc) and mute them.
1% below Stephen Harper, which is bad, but not unprecedented bad.

I think if the liberals can delay the election until October, their results won't be so bad, especially if Trump keeps saying dumb things down in America (as he is prone to do), making alignment with the conservatives less popular (they will still win, just not the huge landslide that they can take now).
Here's the WSJ piece for folks without a subscription: https://archive.is/SwWn6
Problem is you have companies like Meta pushing for the ban, to remove competition. It's big money vs big money.
Besides the tariff on imported products the sibling talks about, you can also rebate the tax paid on exported products.

It's not simple to manage those adjustments, but governments deal with much more complex taxes everywhere. It's not a big deal.

And yeah, the UBI cancellation of the tax, the tariffs on imported products and the rebate on exported products deal with every single problem I've seen people post about a carbon tax, except for "expensive gasoline will destroy our economy!", that is almost always pushed by people that live in a place with some of the cheapest gasoline prices of the world.

There is an add-on that some people push where you don't cancel all of the tax in an UBI, but use a part of it to finance carbon capture projects. I do really like this one, but it's not something that is required for things to work.
I'm flagging this comment for bullying. OK, I'm not but you get the point, right?
I mean, feel free to send me all your worthless dollars and quarters if they bother you that much.
Grades determine what college you go to, which determines the connections you make, which determines the trajectory of your entire life.
This was clear from the beginning. There were reports already that, trump administration is thinking, we are going to cut taxes, where does the money come from? We are going to bully other countries pay for it. Most of the money will probably go to the top 3%, while the taxes are cut for the rest 97% just a little to have them keep voting. But they will pay for it through counter tariffs.

Trump said until and when the border is secured. Canada did propose plans for increased spending on the border security, even though it’s not really a concern. It would be interesting if US still imposes tariffs (which might very well do, according to the latest meeting between the trump and Trudeau teams).
> Upper management has effectively replaced real, meaningful work with a game where everybody tries to score points, and the people who don't participate in that game are eventually stackranked out of the company.

This. Got managed out of a previous employer as I didn't want to participate in the numbers game by focusing on the customer.

If you are senior enough, you can get away with it for a long time. Customers liked me, account managers too (as their customers increased spending), and my manager (at the director level) had my back. That was all good until the day they put another management layer between the director and me...
> The real issue is our adversary controlling the content the masses in the US see can sway opinions via propaganda

... but during the 2016 election we saw that Russian-funded interference efforts using FB and Twitter were pretty effective despite those being public, US-based companies. If you're concerned about propaganda, then policies should be concerned with stuff like "is this poster a real human", "does this post make factually untrue assertions", "is this poster paid to say this without it being marked as an ad", along with "is the platform doing view-point-based amplification or suppression".

Further, in Citizens United, the court effectively invited companies, including subsidiaries of foreign companies, to contribute to political campaigns as part of their free-speech rights. And there was press about foreign companies exercising those rights. So it seems inane to me to say that foreign companies have a first amendment right to pay for political ads and statements, but not to operate a service that lets users create and view posts.

The common wisdom is that Apple Maps works significantly better in the Bay Area than anywhere else on Earth, because the engineers file bugs they encounter on their commute.
Yes. I dont even use "For you". I dont even "follow" most people, just put them into a list and visit that list only. In hind sight I have been using X / Twitter like RSS for a very long time. I guess that is because coming from RSS and I dont know how Twitter work at first and I first thought why do I have all these random people on my feeds.

I have lists for Software, Hardware, Politics, VCs, Economy, Art, and some other wired stuff.

You can ignore 99% of Spam, bait etc and only focus on the signal.
> Contrary to this, I'd like to see 3blue1brown actually get two more strikes and get deleted per YouTube "3 strikes" policy.

Does the "3 strikes" policy apply to large channels that bring in a lot of views and ad revenue?
When I get cash from the bank teller, as rare as that is nowadays, it is regularly brand new and uncirculated. I bet you could just withdraw cash and ask for uncirculated and they would oblige. They’re hard to count because they stick together.
I didn't look at the competition. I knew the Dexcom brand because my friends have had good experiences with the G series, so the Stelo was an easy impulse purchase. I'm neither diabetic nor prediabetic, so I'm not a good representative of those audiences.

For someone glucose-curious like me, the Stelo is just right. The app provides a slightly laggy real-time graph of measurements (collected every 5 minutes and reported every 15 minutes). It uses some heuristics to identify rising/falling events, and it'll notify you for the steeper cases (but I'm not sure about hypoglycemic event notifications, as I had a couple of those while sleeping and found out only when I woke up). On Android, it uses the Health Connect hub to sync some health data with other apps. It provides a rudimentary event-log function to add meal, exercise, and FYI notations. You'll also get a daily time-in-range wrap-up.

The more interesting analytics are in clarity.dexcom.com, which is a website that visualizes data that the app is constantly pushing, with a couple-hour lag. There you will find more graphs, tables that group measurements by day and hour, and various expected calculations (average, standard deviation, CV, calculated GMI). And you'll also find the all-important export to CSV button, which gives you all the sensor data. Using that I was able to import everything to Google Sheets, where I did a linear regression with finger-prick measurements to ascertain the sensor's (mild) deviation.

The Stelo feature set is clearly designed to provide all the data eventually, but not quickly enough to be useful for diabetics who need real-time info for glucose management. That's how they'll continue segmenting the Stelo and G7 audiences. I have no problem with that; if OTC GCM cost continues to drop, and they become as prevalent as annual lipid/metabolic labs, I could see the incidence of lifestyle-attributable T2D dropping, which would obviously have massive benefits to society.
The problem of modern society that we want one solution that scales.

What we need is 1000s of solutions that don’t.

Every case is a special case if you treat enough variables, nothing is close in high dimensional space.
I don't think rounding clocks would be any more useful in the scenario about mentally calculating how many minutes until the meeting at noon, because a rounding clock would show noon 30 seconds earlier, so the average difference between 11:55 and noon in a rounded clock vs a floor clock is still 4.5 minutes.
AFAIK the US government doesn't take anything from your retirement unless you give up citizenship, which you don't need to do in order to expatriate. One can be a US citizen and live his life in any country one sees fit.
I read that book as well and it was pretty clear they wanted people to take it without exactly knowing what they were getting into; at least, it escalated to that point. They being Ken Kesey and his group more so than the Dead. One of the core bus riders eventually quit because he saw it as non consensual dosing. That was my takeaway anyway - there is a good amount of ambiguity in the way the book is written.
That's a very fair nitpick, but even with a more rigorous error function the point still stands, I think.
Strange that we received two very different summaries. There was a part in the article where the author mentioned that Apple's private cloud compute claims were "literally impossible", but that was hardly the general takeaway of the article.

Mine basically said Apple has fallen short of their vision because of the inherent limitations in relying on web services.
It wouldn't be a conspiracy, just strategic thinking.

It wouldn't be the first time in history where one party/group/individual decides to relinquish power anticipating some crisis:

- Sulla was a dictator who retired before the collapse of the Roman republic.
- The British handed over power to India before the communal violence escalated.
- Nixon resigned to avoid the spectacle of impeachment.

Someone in power may be able to better see some things inevitably coming and bail out sooner to avoid the worse.

You said Trudeau was unpopular for years and yet only now he's leaving.
Whoa, I knew about them uninviting DHH (a move I disagreed with), but I didn't know about all these events that followed.

If I was deciding to attend a conference, I would 100% prefer to attend one where DHH and other pioneers are organizing/speaking. And also one that had more meat rather than the "softer" topics as you suggested.

And I 100% agreed with their "No politics at work" stance.

I had a policy in our company against discussing politics. I used to say some variation of "We provide products & services to our clients, and they pay us money to do so. Our politics or our clients' politics don't matter." (And it was easy to make this statement because there was no chance of our product being used by authoritarians or something, we were building software for COVID response).

So we had a hard rule that there would be no political discussions on company "property" (company slack, company emails, etc), exactly what 37signals had. If you want to text each other personally, go right ahead.

Nobody seemed to have an issue with it.

So in a nutshell, sounds like the personal political views (and attitude of partisanship) of the organizers ruined the conference.
