Ultimately science always terminates in so-called brute facts. I'm not sure it always makes sense to call these mysteries. In the end, some things appear to simply be without any sort of causal or even logical explanation. I try not to get too worked up about it.

On the other hand, one has to keep kicking over rocks to see what is underneath or life would get boring.
Neat idea and clean site!

Does a subscription model really make sense? How many domains does the average person need. I wonder if you could use affiliate links or something like that to monetize.
Per their own data, the DVLA are responsible for the records of 52 million drivers and 46 million vehicles. Those records are immensely complex, because they reflect decades of accumulated legislation, regulation and practice. Every edge case has an edge case.

There's someone, somewhere in the bowels of the DVLA who understands the rules for drivers with visual field defects who use a bioptic device. There's someone who knows which date code applies to a vehicle that has been built with a brand new kit chassis but an old engine and drive train. There's someone who understands the special rates of tax that apply to goods vehicles that are solely used by showmen, or are based on certain offshore islands. God help any outsider who has to condense all of that institutional knowledge into a working piece of software.

Government does not have a good track record of ground-up refactors of complex IT systems. The British government in particular does not have a good track record. Considering all that, the fact that most interactions with DVLA can be done entirely online is borderline miraculous.

If you just looked at all the undergrads trying to find ways to cheat on their homework, exams, and job interviews, it'd be easy to imagine that university lab science conducted by those same people is also full of cheating whenever they thought they could get away with it.

But I've wondered whether maybe some of the fabrications are just sloppy work tracking so many artifacts.

You might be experienced enough with computers to have filing conventions and workflow tools, around which you could figure out how to accurately keep track of numerous lab equipment artifacts, including those produced by multiple team members, and have traceability from publication figures all the way to original imaging or data. But is this something everyone involved in a university lab would be able to do reliably?

I'm sure there's a lot of dishonesty going on, because people going into the hard sciences can be just as shitty as your average Leetcode Cadet. But maybe some genuine scientists could use better computer tools and skills?

>you try to roll a million fair dice and get them to all come up six.

That is not a low probability event; that is an impossibility.

I think the problem here is that you think I am a digital electronic computer. I am not.

I am a human being.

I do not now, have never, and will never care about the technically possible I only care about the actually possible.

As a human, I know that six to the power of one million is impossible. Not to mention that rolling one million dice is absurd.

But as a human I also know that the chemical reaction needed to spark life isn't a six to the power of one million proposition.

I don't know what it is but it ain't that because it's been done, at least once.

edit: It's not absurd, rolling one million dice.

The heaviest verifiable weight ever lifted by a human being is 2422.18kg.

A 4mm die is 0.4g. Conceivably a contraption could be built by which a human could "roll" several million dice using the strength of their entire body.

Now I kinda want that to happen.

But street lights don't have to use harsh 3000 kelvin LEDs, there are warm light LEDs (2400-2700 kelvin). For example, these lights are widely available for home, yet most people just buy the 3000K LED bulbs because (IME) it doesn't occur to them that there is a strong aesthetic (and health) difference between these colors. i.e. They don't care.
Migrating to Palestine and living in that land is not an issue in itself. I wish them prosperity much like everyone else. The problem is the crimes that were committed by the Zionist militias such as Irgun who were viewed as terrorists orgs even under UK mandate, in additions to the settlements and establishing an apartheid state later:

1. Kicking millions of Palestinians out of their homes and villages and building illegal settlements

2. Massacres committed with no accountability (soldiers posing and documenting it, not fog of war)

Both of these practices are STILL ONGOING and have been for almost a century.

Then regular civilians come from all over the world to live in those illegal settlements and justify it or claim they have nothing to do with the atrocities when they're a major support for it and why the suffering continues.

Many more problems were results of Israel being built on ethno-religious foundations:

3. Giving refuge to pedophiles (wanted by US and INTERPOL) because they're Jewish? WTF? [1]

4. The recent rape and sexual harassment of prisoners [2]. Israeli protestors went to the streets and even rioted to defend the soldiers accused of it and were proud of their actions. Tell me how should I feel when I see them doing that?

5. The attack on World Central Kitchen convoy? [3] Killing 7 aid workers in multiple clearly marked vehicles on a coordinated mission with the IDF. What came of it? They just laid off a couple of people like the commander Nochi Mandel who oversaw the attack. The same commander signed an open letter to block humanitarian aid. So what is the punishment for killing 7 innocent aid workers? You move to the private sector it seems with higher pay grade.

Fuck me! Any group that commit such crimes and act proud with no shame are lunatics and should be held accountable but this doesn't seem to happen in Israel. Even the citizens seem to take pride in it. [4]

My problem isn't with specific group. I'm referring to Israel as a state. I don't care about the religion of its people or what land they live on as long it's lawful and they're no committing war crimes. I'd feel the same about crimes in Ukraine, Afghanistan, or Africa.

Whatever you think of the terms Hamas just accepted, they were offered them on May 27, and they should have taken them then, because the intervening months have been just awful for them.

You can think those terms are dreadfully unfair; that's fine, that has nothing to do with the argument I made.
Even if you purge the history, the secret is compromised and you should stop using it. It's moot whether or not you're able to remove it from history.

Build tools to make it easy for people to assemble their own chronological feeds that have quality UI / UX. IMHO the algorithmic feed's principle benefit is how easy it is for a user to curate something close to both what they want, and what they didn't know they want. We too often view things in terms of technical implementations and such, and lose focus on the core problems the user is actually having. Algorithmic feeds are great, because:

- User installs app, opens it
- User begins scrolling
- Within a few minutes they have an endless feed of mostly interesting content

That is REALLY hard to do without an algorithmic feed, and there are a lot of problems when they subscribe. Not insurmountable, just easily underestimated. The motto I keep repeating to myself when I fall into a doomerism about the inevitability of the algorithm, I just say "Its time to build" and hope I can find something on the other side, if I keep digging. The principle weapon against the algorithm is, I think, not needing an infinite pool of profit. I.e. Facebook could build great apps that weren't algorithmic, but it is highly likely they would make much less money. So not only won't they, they literally _aren't realistically allowed to do it_. Its a crazy thing to think through.

It is clear that a lot of people commenting about this (here and in other threads) don't really get it. The iPhone mini wasn't (mainly) about the form factor, it was about pricing and market segmentation. They even say:

> Analyse what could be Apple’s next release of “iPhone mini” to mass market price points and plan counter-measures for it.

The only thing they got wrong was that it wasn't Apple that released this mass market priced smartphone, it was Android that filled the "iPhone mini" role. But for the purposes of this presentation, that's the same thing: a non-Nokia competitor dominating this niche.
The responses have not been enshittified _yet_.

This page on IMDB has all the "legitimate" versions I'm aware of, but I'm sure there are unauthorized cuts out there:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087182/alternateversions/

A non-theatrical "director's cut" is a Mandela Effect moment for me. I don't know what I watched. It wasn't the TV version, because that was the first version I watched. I can only guess that it was a common mistake to call some version "the director's cut" among viewers (or maybe just my friends) in the past.

The list I've linked to certainly wasn't illuminating for me, but maybe it will be for you.

To someone like me with hobby-level serving needs, the 90 day certificate life is pretty inconvenient, despite having automation set up. I run a tiny VPS that hosts basic household stuff like e-mail and a few tiny web sites for people, and letsencrypt/certbot automation around certificate renewal is the only thing that I seem to need to regularly babysit and log in to manually run/fix. Everything else just hums along, but I know it's been 90 days because I suddenly can't connect to my E-mail or one of the web virtual hosts went down again. And sure enough, I just need to run certbot renew manually or restart lighttpd or whatever.
If I'm saving changes that were done because of a arduous debugging journey and other people are likely to have to refer back to it, yes. In fact, forget little; the smaller the change is, the bigger the text. Some of my changes have 2-3 paragraphs for a 2-3 line change because of the impact.

I mean... it's a rebuttal. See my comment below: we already put out a report saying we thought through running was the right approach, and now we're responding to Amtrak's report on the topic.

Even if there were passenger circulation issues problems (and our passenger model was half-written when we did the first report), there are other solutions like decking over tracks to join adjacent platforms into a wider platform. We're happy that do not appear necessary, but if it did it doesn't fatally imperil through running as being the best option.

Finally, the number of outright errors and dubious claims in the Amtrak study makes us think they are doing their own reasoning. If you really don't believe my previous two paragraphs, just think ask yourself motivated reasoning seems less suspect! :)

Through-running, unlike 10s billions for a station expansion, is a cheap experiment. We can just try it! If there are more passengers than expected (yay! Though) and safe circulation does become and issue, that's great new info and very little money wasted.
They never said that about wallpaper. They did say that about Flash - my original comment.

And he was proven correct

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoughts_on_Flash

But back to wallpapers - while the jail breaking community didn’t care, between performance (lot easier to redraw a black background), memory and battery life, background images would have adverse affects on the iPhone. it wasn’t that it couldn’t be done.
It’s google’s job to return results when users search, not to verify the claims made in found content. If google search results show you someone else’s lie, thats the liar’s fault, not google’s, and they should not be held accountable. It’s ultimately up to the users themselves to distinguish truth from lies, surely, the onus must lay on the reader, not the indexing software.

You'd hope they benchmarked the old native iOS app and the RN app.

Since the blog post doesn't mention previous native-only perf, I'd assume they didn't compare or the RN version isn't close to native-only perf (leaning heavily towards the second reason).

Looking at a previous blog post, the first hunch seems to be correct - the second may also be true.

From 2024 March, https://shopify.engineering/improving-shopify-app-s-performa... talks about how their RN-ified app was loading screens in 1400ms (P75) and the steps they took to reduce that to 500ms.

I hope they benchmark their load-screen time with every release/CD to stay on top of any regressions, otherwise, there'll be more mad scrambles when the perf debt piles up too high.
Palestinians go back not because the Israeli+Egyptian+Hamas siege has turned the Strip in to Switzerland, but because they are steadfast in their resistance to ethnic cleansing & cultural erasure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumud

Kind of similar to how the Polish Jews setup schools, orphanages, religious institutions that in the Warsaw Ghetto as a form of resistance.
You're going to fall behind eventually, if you continue to treat LLMs with this level of skepticism, as others won't, and the output is accurate enough that it can be useful to improve the efficiency of work in a great many situations.

Rarely are day-to-day written documents (e.g. an email asking for clarification on an issue or to schedule an appointment) of such importance that the occasional error is unforgivable. In situations where a mistake is fatal, yes I would not trust GenAI. But how many of us really work in that kind of a field?

Besides, AI shines when used for creative purposes. Coming up with new ideas or rewording a paragraph for clarity isn't something one does blindly. GenAI is a coworker, not an authority. It'll generate a draft, I may edit that draft or rewrite it significantly, but to preclude it because it could error will eventually slow you down in your field.
Maybe it's wrecking a site they maintain or care about.

Yes: until yesterday, Hamas has consistently rejected these terms. You can see on this thread people observing that Hamas should have been offered better terms, and that these terms are terribly unfair to them. Stipulate that, sure. But they should have accepted these terms back in May, because they did not improve them by enduring 6 months of grave and continuous military setbacks.

It's really hard to get out from under the fact that they ultimately had to accept the same terms they were offered 6 months ago.

> Having your app burn battery for half a second doing absolutely nothing is bad UX.

Why are you assuming the app is either burning much battery or even doing more than waiting on current data from the server? For an app that I would assume isn't much use without up-to-date data from the server?

I consider UNIX/POSIX becoming niche, including GNU/Linux, for the so called cloud native workloads.

The large majority of managed languages being used in such scenarios, compiled to native or VM based, have rich ecosystems that abstract the underlying platform.

Moreso, if going deep into serverless, chiseled containers, unikernel style, or similar technologies.

Naturally there is still plenty of room for traditional UNIX style workloads.
Do you think there are many religious parents who choose homeschooling because it lets them reinforce their worldview? GP says he was raised in such a household, I have friends who were homeschooled for that reason. There are probably many religious people who just find public schools uncouth, but I think there are more who homeschool primarily for easier indoctrination. I don't think GP is automatically assuming anything about individuals, they're just pointing out that a significant fraction of the homeschooling population will come from Evangelical Young Earth Creationists.

Based on your comment, I would assume you are religious. Quite frankly, religious doctrines are anti-science, or more accurately anti-epistemology. The Young Earth Creationists are a dim example of this, but even your generic Christian believes in lichs based on two-thousand-year-old hearsay. You say this

> is a very outdated and frankly wrong stereotype

but why? It seems more true than any religion. I think you could make an argument that it's impossible to convince people they're wrong, so to avoid fighting you should avoid making such comments, but that's empirically not true.
What's your opinion of "architect" as a verb? I was in a workshop once wherein the instructor paused everything to beratingly correct someone for 5 minutes on how you can't "architect" something because, he insisted, that word must only ever be a noun.
That was my initial thought as well. Anyone know what native screen loads typically are? I’m sure it varies wildly between apps, but 500ms seems like it would be on the slower end of a “fast” app.
I'm fine with disputing the logic of Israel's military goals here as long as we're all on the same page about what those goals are. When we start talking about how many new terrorists have been recruited because of the Gaza invasion, we're no longer on that same page.

I'm loathe to reveal too much about what I think about this situation personally, because it immediately poisons the rest of the thread, but my take on the situation is not as far from yours as you may think it is.
It would also allow for planned relocation so that residents who are being disrupted could be guaranteed housing without cost increases, since it would cost essentially nothing relative to overall cost to provide them replacement homes in the higher density neighborhood just rebuilt. I believe Rohnert Park, which borders Santa Rosa, is already doing this (not with pie slices though). Definitely this is a known SimCity tactic to build a high density high wealth city! You just have to get the feeder road layout right.
The courts will make that decision in 5 years or so, but it doesn't help people who need their stuff working today.

For a while Nintendo didn't have a competition in handheld market. If you wanted a handheld gaming device you only had Switch.

Now Steam deck easily competes on fun with Nintendo, because a lot of people have massive decades old steam libraries and constant supply of newest and greatest indie games, and quite a lot of power to play fairly modern titles.

This is hard to compete with because Nintendo likes you to pay for games you've already bought on their platform in past, including old NES and SNES roms (which are super embarassing to ask money for imo).

The only drawback of Steam Deck is that it's a fairly big and bulky.

Buying Switch 2 just for a odd once in every 5 years exclusive Zelda game is a pretty hard sell.
