The benefits are obvious to anyone who has used such a program. Consider for example a technique like the cloze deletion: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloze_test

The question side of the card may be directly copied from the textbook, and read something like "An increase in the supply of a complementary good Y typically causes the price of good X to [...]." You can then correctly answer "decrease" or "lower" or "go down". You don't need exact phrasing, because you are grading the card yourself; and actually forming the cloze deletion is in most SRS programs a single keyboard shortcut away. This 10 second loop of copy, cloze delete, create gets you a huge amount of the benefit of learning and remembering the reasoning embedded within the sentence. Imagine trying to create a cloze deletion by hand - you'll be there for 2 minutes just copying the sentence.

The next level up is an image occlusion, where you actually screenshot an entire diagram, math equation, section of code, etc. and then selectively hide parts of it, asking yourself to fill in the blank. https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1374772155

Image occlusions are close to trivial in a program like Anki once you've made a few. But they are, for all intents and purposes, impossible to make flashcards of unless you feel like drawing e.g. an anatomically correct human brain the same way 17 times in a row.
They're not communication-averse. They're just not stupid.

The human on the other end is an experienced, well-paid, highly incentivized sales specialist, whose job is, to put it bluntly, to screw you over as much as they possibly can. Talking to them means entering negotiations on their terms. Unless you're well-versed in dealing with salespeople, they will play you like a fiddle. The business of their company relies on clients clueless enough, or big enough to not be sensitive to losses at this scale. It's plain stupid to engage from a severely disadvantaged position if you have any alternative available.

This applies doubly if they're cold-calling you. They are the hunter searching for easy marks. You are caught by surprise and entirely unprepared for the confrontation. The right thing to do is to stay quiet and let them go chase someone else.
I touch on this at the end of the post. It's a short 15m 'discovery call', not a sales call. It's essentially a formality to intro each other, make sure we're human, and move onto email for any further discussion. Essentially, not all enterprises will shoot you a cold email to start the conversation, so this call is to capture those leads, with the end-goal of having all real discussion in email.

tl;dr: some enterprises will bounce if they don't see a 'book a call' button.

Something like that might plausibly be correct, though you've exaggerated it to a level where it's clearly false.

If we steelman it to its most defensible essence, I think what you're saying is that the cost of the human effort needed to provide these higher uptimes exceeds the consumer benefit (the value of being able to buy a camera on Saturday), say. You could imagine, for example, that each incremental improvement in uptime wins over a proportion of the customer base providing a value that vastly exceeds its cost — but only until your competitors improve their own offering to match, so all the surplus from all this uptime improvement ultimately goes to the consumers, not the producers.

There are two related holes in this idea.

The first is that producing consumer surplus is what the economy is for, in a moral sense. The reason producing goods and services is a good thing to do is so that someone will benefit from using them! So if all the effort that sysadmins make goes into making services better for users, that's a good thing, not a bad thing.

The second is that nothing is stopping a new entrant from offering a new, low-cost service that isn't as reliable. If the cost of providing all that extra reliability (bundled into the incumbents' pricing scheme) is higher than the actual benefit to users, the users will switch to the lower-cost, less-reliable service. This has happened many times, in fact: less-reliable minicomputers stole business from mainframes, less-reliable VoIP stole business from ATM and SONET and SDH, all kinds of less-reliable plastic goods have stolen business from all-metal versions, and now solar panels are stealing business from coal power plants even though solar panel "uptime" is like 30%.

So the particular market dynamics we're talking about actually sensitively optimize the amount of effort given to uptime to the economic optimum. There do exist lots of market failures, but the particular dynamic we're discussing is the opposite extreme from something like a dollar auction.
Unless you’re in fashion, you likely won’t.

In fashion (and a lot of other fields), the style IS the message.
Sometimes there is no clear path from A to B. There is some weird fallacy where people tend to think every single company can make every single product if they simply hired the right engineers and throw money at it.

I think it comes from underestimating the role of process, structure, and competency, which are the DNA and codebase of a company.
Is the source code hosted somewhere in something like GitHub?
None of those popups are required by European lawmakers. Websites don’t need to ask for permission for the essential cookies like what’s necessary to log into an online account or add items to a shopping cart - indeed, many compliant EU cookie popups have “only essential cookies” as the least permissive option.

They only need to ask for permission if they want consent for the kind of invasive tracking that the GDPR and related regulations were intended to discourage anyway. And they aren’t required to use popups or banners to get any consent they might need.

The popups, and especially the quite probably legally invalid common implementation where granting consent is made easier than refusing it, are a frequently bad-faith attempt by the industry to continue tracking-centric business as fully as possible contrary to the policy intention of the GDPR. They are not a requirement of the law.

Thanks so much for the congratulations. Coming up some more sign in methods, I just had setup Twitter as it was the easiest to setup at that time.

About your suggestion, hiding votes until users cast their own is a really smart way. I will look at the possibility of implementing something like that.
"singularity" isn't AGI, that's ASI. AGI would be more than enough for the rich to enslave/eradicate the rest of us from their world and halt further development that doesn't align with their interests.

I also was discussing this with my colleague. This looks more like an ULA stream than a SpaceX stream. Bad telemetry, imperial instead of metric units, almost no cameras and the cameras that were shown were potato quality, planned holds, almost no reactions from the presenters or any audience.

Good to have some competition in this space though. That is what truly matters. The livestream is just marketing and a bit of fun/showing off.
You don't need to directly tap that information from the phone if you have enough variety of video and an algorithm that will identify and converge on micro-genres of video based on watch time, likes, and shares.

Aside from that, Tik-Tok Shop is also a thing. So elements of the application exist where you volunteer data like location.
Something is missing here, why do batch jobs take 13 hours? If this thing was started on an old mainframe why isn't the downtime just 5 minutes at 3:39 AM?

Exactly how much data is getting processed?

Edit: Why does rebuilding take a decade or more? This is not a complex system. It doesn't need to solve any novel engineering challenges to operate efficiently. Article does not give much insight into why this particular task couldn't be fixed in 3 months.

> MS killed the whole division shortly after Satya Nadella took over and was sorting out the mess left by Steve Ballmer.

These have always been the real crimes in my mind.

Ballmer wasn't an idea guy, he was a top-tier salesman / cheerleader, and he definitely "understood" what actually made Microsoft successful (put out a product, then allow third-party developers and support to extend it / support / learn it inside out and be a VAR).

Ballmer made the same mistake a lot of people in that era made, which is that they didn't realize the software was the most important component. The era of "killer hardware" never actually existed in the smartphone space, because you had a limited form factor to begin with. You couldn't cram an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra in your phone, so your software had to be useful and on-point.

I think Satya saw the entire Windows Phone debacle as a failed experiment and probably looked at Apple / Google and just threw his hands up in frustration.

Getting developers onboard for Windows Phone was critical and not enough time, money, and attention was spent doing that. I think there was a degree of Microsoft arrogance there, along the lines of, "We're Microsoft, of course they're going to develop for our platform..." Meanwhile, in 2024, the Windows App Store is still a barren hellscape compared to even the App Store for OS X and you don't even want to talk about Google Play Store and iOS App Store vs Windows Store.

The prophecy was fulfilled - software will eat the world.
Yes, but that's why we find it important to limit the number of places you can access it. There's a reason nearly every state in the US restricts offline gambling to specific gambling houses (if even that) and nowhere else.
> ... they even fubared the thrust:weight ration a bit ...

Fubared, or carefully nerfed? With so tiny a payload, I can see both engineering data collection and range safety reasons to barely crawl their first launch off the pad.
Storage stack layers and players going into 2025
This would be extremely welcome news. Local multiplayer has always been Nintendo's bread and butter, so being able to keep using controllers from the previous system is a huge boon. Also means not having to invest in a new 'Pro' controller hopefully.
The power could come from anything (solar, wind, wave) other than the dominant current source for all ammonia, the Haber Process. TFA mentions this in the headline? Could this be done before by just using water+air+solar, yes it could. Frankly, this is just a proof of concept and any commercial solution would be different for scaling reasons.

Professor Aldo Rossa started popularizing a lot of this in the 80s.
https://patents.google.com/patent/US4107277A/en

Having something other than a fossil fuel source for the most common fertilizer in the world seems useful. Also, it's easier, cheaper and safer to ship ammonia around than Hydrogen since it's a low pressure liquid and more energy dense. People have been talking about using it as a shipping fuel for decades.
If you are selling to a non-technical user, phone calls give them a hint of your support. Email support is horrible. Turn around times are too slow. This is the reason I wont buy another framework laptop.
I've played Smash Ultimate probably more than any other game in my life.
I think that's more your interpretation/experience rather than the intention of the tools. Those constants and coefficients are there because the math is describing the shape of the solution based on logic, mathematical object rules, and symmetry/conservation laws and needs to be "grounded" to make them physical.

The Lagrangian is just "conservation of energy" (L = T[kinetic] - V[potential]). There isn't some magic, it's a statement that the energy needs to go somewhere.

Your straw-man belies the underlying issue you are experiencing, you don't just come up with a PDE, you see nature and then you describe ways to conserve counts of things, "energy", "population", whatever. The PDEs describe the exchange between these counts. The accuracy and additional terms are about more accurately representing the counts and conservation of things.

I was at Palm when the iPhone launched, and one note from this analysis summed up Apple's new power in the market and how they really changed the landscape.

"Cingular has allowed Apple to launch a device with WLAN and inbuilt services"

At that time, the carriers controlled so much of the cell phone experience. We certainly would have loved to have launched Palm Treo phones with WiFi radios, but our carrier partners wanted the only way to get data in and out of the devices to be through their monetized data plans. They also wanted to control what you did with that data so they could charge for their own email or messaging systems or web portals. The same applied to app stores. Palm OS didn't have a unified app store at that time, just sideloading and some third-party methods, and some carriers had started making their own stores where you could buy apps billed through your cell phone bill. They hated the idea of a platform owning that, and I expect that was part of the reason Apple originally released it with no app store. They needed the phone to be a massive hit in order to gain the power to also bypass that wall that the cell companies put up.

Palm did benefit from the iPhone launch -- it had us uplevel our efforts away from the post-Palm OS phones that we were in the middle of developing that were aimed at the RIM market and instead try something radical with webOS, and when the Pre launched, it actually had WiFi on board, although the Sprint-exclusive Pixi phone lacked WiFi due to carrier request. There was some momentum there for a while, but then HP bought us, hit its own set of brick walls with carriers, and ditched the hardware business shortly after Apple started launching on other carriers.
Maybe EU is big mad at Apple because that "Hide Distracting Items" feature of iOS Safari makes those popups go "boom" when they disappear. No need to click through N different popup paths. One method and a satisfactory animation.
I understand the financial part of it. I'm not sure it's a W for gamers like us. Obviously, I don't know the spec and detail so I'm happy to be corrected. From the video, they could've released this 4 years ago and I would've still gotten it back then. Since I view switch as a console system rather mobile system, the gain we are getting just seem a bit disappointing after 8 years.
> Also, the new controllers look more "freedom friendly", if you pardon the pun. IOW, they iterated them so that they're more useful when they are detached.

I am a little concerned about that connector for the controls. I hope they have designed it to be sturdy. After working on broken Switch 1s a lot of USB C ports were abused by users.

> So the narrative that "the US is choking itself with silly regulations and can't compete as a result" is a pure fiction afaict.

No its not fiction, you just said China did this, China did that…
Well USA is a country too, why cant it shape policies to advantage the US industrial base ? It can, it chooses not to, out of apathy for the masses.

> not polluting the water or forcing your workers into 40 hours a week of unpaid overtime

Has nothing to do with that, USA has the largest tech ecosystem with silicon valley being at the top, its a huge software ecosystem base, and from end to end, from the beginning to the end, united states governments have carefully co-ordinated to make sure America stays at the top in Software, and it has done so successfully by making one of the most robust and risk-taking investment ecosystem on planet earth.

It could do the same for Manufacturing, polluting water or slave labour taunts are just the boogeyman, the problem is it taking 10 yrs to get enough permits or land allocation for building anything serious industrial, ill-conceived regulations, etc.

People keep mentioning Water Pollution or 40 hour slave labours, yet no one ever mentions the after-math of america’s de-industrialization, the countless rural towns and families in rust-belt who were decimated and completely broken in this process. They resort to drugs just to keep themselves alive, and even that now kills them with overdose with stuff like fetanyl.

Domestic manufacturing stuff does not need slave labour, it needs fair level playing field, which begins with not letting goods made with slave labour or as you said goods made by skirting corners like polluting local water. Americans can perfectly figure out how to scale and optimize things without resorting to slave labour. But they need atleast a level playing field to even be able to survive initially.
My cousin says the same thing... 25 year IT veteran. Early adopter for almost all new tech. He says his 1000-whatever Lumia phone was one of the best phones he ever owned. I know it ran Windows Phone OS, and I remember playing with it a bit.
indeed. this will spur research on how to distinguish BS from legit content. which is the fundamental hallucination problem in llms.

and all of us will benefit from this.
Blablabla.

1/ doesn't scale. If every good developer does that, like on every freelance catalog website/service, the noise overcomes the signal.

2/ good developers^Wpeople do not need to advertise their so-called brand online. The offline market works much faster, and pays better.

When I loook on this [recent] history, the business and technical strategies Apple and Google employed in mobile were truly amazing. In my view, Apple and Google managed to reinvent themselves (organically or otherwise), while Nokia and Microsoft were weighed down by their attachments to the past. Blackberry is in the same ship. In hindsight it seems they should have embraced Android as early as possible (thinking in the success of the Samsung S II (2011)).
Follow the money, I guess
No, I watch these kind of videos expecting them to be fake. Why would I expect otherwise when I have every reason to expect them to be non-genuine? If people's expectations are not right, that is on them.
Let me genuinely ask you something because you seem to be all over this thread with a strong different opinion, and I'm not so arrogant as to believe it's impossible that I'm wrong.

Do you really think, in real world terms, that China could not accomplish the types of infiltrations / surveillance it would deem strategically important without tiktok? Considering that they already compromise government systems on a regular basis (which I can provide links for if you're curious)

Do you genuinely think that corruption / lobbying has nothing to do with this ban? What is your primary concern that makes you in favor of this?

Do you look at things like facebook and instagram and either not see the blatant propaganda on there or not see a problem with it?

I'm just wondering if we are disagreeing on the facts or if we have fundamentally incompatable values, I want to understand.
Openshift is Kubernetes+.

Openshift Virtualization Engine is kubevirt (aka kvm/libvirt).
One aspect to this IMO is the difference in maturity between pencils and paper + books and chromebooks/ipads with software.

Pencil/Paper/Book is extremely mature and the teaching system knows how to use it extremely well. The tools just work and don't distract from learning.

My kid has a Chromebook + Google classroom and it's just a distracting mess of poor hardware and horrific software. Just bad all around the teachers even say it wastes a ton of their time.

Anyone working in tech has a skewed view because we always have excellent hardware and software because of the amount of money the industry has and the way the industry knows that spending on tools pays back in a huge way. None of that applies to schools.

It blows me away that my son got a 2024 Chromebook and the screen is about what I had on my work laptop 20 years ago. But 20 years ago all the software was designed to work on a screen that was sub-1080p, today all the Google software seems to be designed for a 27" 4k screen.
The BSD license is available to the general public, so everyone you could redistribute to already has a license.

In the linked post, they say, "the original BSD3 license did not mention patents at all, creating an ambiguity that the BSD3-clear version resolves", which has an additional clause beginning, "NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED LICENSES TO ANY PARTY'S PATENT RIGHTS ARE GRANTED BY THIS LICENSE." Presumably if Metacarta's lawyers really did believe that BSD doesn't grant patent rights as they claim, they wouldn't have gone to the trouble to edit it to remove that implicit grant. And if Concrete's lawyers really did believe it, they probably would have gone with the actual open-source license everyone recognizes.
I have a PhD in physics, which does not say much apart from the fact that I had to think about this a lot. My PhD was in particle physics.

What I learned over the years is that, unfortunately, at some point you rely on maths. You solve equations, make predictions, and compare this to measurements. Uf they match your model (conveyed through equations) is "good for now"

The problem is that a lot of what you mathematically witness, then measure at macro scales (you do not get to measure quantum effects at their scale, only their effects on the apparatus) does not make sense at our scale.

A particle appearing for a shirt moment from nothing, interacting with another particle and vanishing, WTF?

A particle with energy X hitting a "wall" with energy Y > X and going through? WTF?

Single particles interacting with each other? Another WTF

QM is full of surprises that sound cool when presented with enthusiasm and simple words, or used in MARVEL movies but they are as intuitive for typical people as cosmic travel for Neanderthals . Sure you can handwave your way through them but how does that work with a cave and wall paintings - which is what they would witness on an everyday basis.
Thank you! Glad to have your project onboard. Wishing you the best with your launch!
