But shouldn’t increased sales numbers be something Walgreens measures? On the other hand, this was probably some mid-level exec’s chance at growing in the company, so maybe there was some internal incentive to massage the numbers (e.g. maybe 5% is much smaller than the per-store standard deviation).

I dunno, just guessing.

I didn't mean that Nintendo was in trouble, I just meant what I said: the best way to play Nintendo's games isn't on Nintendo platforms. For me, I'm not going to be playing games away from the ability to plug in or dock for 5 hours. I don't put expensive electronics in my pocket, and yeah I've docked my Deck to a TV... it's great. As for physical media, why would I want to use that?

> Having educated them doesn't help if you've also pounded them into submission.

Pounding them into submission also makes their consent legally invalid in many cases, at least by the standard which the GDPR requires. Example GDPR complaint about this problem: https://noyb.eu/en/bereal-app-wont-take-no-answer

This aspect of the law is more an enforcement issue (including national Data Protection Authorities which have effectively been captured by the companies they are supposed to regulate) than a legislation issue.

I'm glad that noyb recently got approved to file something broadly similar to what in the US would be called a class action lawsuit, so that they can do some of the enforcement that the governments won't.

Consider donating to them if you want to see proper compliance. They're doing most of the useful enforcement these days. I have no affiliation myself besides also considering making my own donation.

There is no real malice behind all the fraud in science publications. The authors aren't usually out to specifically harm others.

However, in the long run it is stupid because of two and a half reasons:

- it reduces people's trust in science because it is obvious we cannot trust the scientists which in the long run will reduce public funding for The grift

- it causes misallocation of funds by people misled by the grift and this may lead you actual harm (e.g., what if you catch Alzheimer's but there is no cure because you lied about the causes 20 years ago?)

1/2- there is a chance that you will get caught, and like the former president of Stanford, not be allowed to continue bilking the gullible. This only gets half a point because the repercussions are generally not immediate and definitely not devastating to those who do it skillfully.

I currently have a small program on the RPi NAS which polls my AWS server showing a few metrics, uptime, load, traffic and latest sessionID, but it was off at the time of the video as it is pretty static.

Serious question: what motivation was there?

AFAIK points aren't worth anything and don't unlock anything after the first few, probably to help block spam/bots.

It's exceedingly rare that I even click a profile here, and even then it's usually to see what a person works on not how many points they've accumulated.

In fact, there are many cases where the most knowledgeable person on a subject comments, I click to see who they are, and realize they've only ever commented a few times. I imagine they either mostly lurk, or have an idle account they just use when friends drag them into the conversation.

I am aware that some of this is coming to the Business Starter plan, but where do you see that the legacy free edition always gets the features which the Business Starter plan gets? And do you know the answer to the question of which Terms of Service will apply to legacy free edition Gemini features?

Interesting that the Business Starter plan isn't getting Gemini Advanced according to that table. That omission isn't clear at all from their Google Workspace blog post about the announcement: https://workspace.google.com/blog/product-announcements/empo...

But Rockchip is no longer selling to SBC folk & no longer participating at all in mainlining.

Theres almost no one left to buy chips from, basically. Hope everyone's happy using rpi forever, cause that's where 2025 has left us. :/

MediaTek has some Genio chips they're starting to make available but explorer boards are quite expensive. These new Cix people have an incredible looking 8x A720, which Radxa is using on an upcoming Orion O6 board. But man it is just so sad to see company after company after company collapse & disappear from making chips usable by SBC.

Did I say X was bad?

Truth is, I think X was bad long before it was X, along with pretty much all social media. I killed my Twitter account, Facebook account, etc. nearly a decade ago after being an early adopter... as well I continue to avoid Blue-what-ever-it-is, tiktok, Insta, Mastodon, etc. They're all bad and I don't see anything in society at large that would make any of them worth a shit. Your mileage may vary.

So no, this isn't some commentary on Musk, or Musk's ownership of X, etc. Truth is I don't have any strong opinions about it anymore because I'm not a customer or consumer of the service: I don't care about it.

However, I have seen people here talking about how the SpaceX stream was trying to sell them bitcoin, etc. Naturally, they were on YouTube and fell for the scam and YouTube themselves don't seem to be worried enough about it to do something about. So for those of us that do use YouTube (there's more than a couple of us, you know) I'm trying to point out a more legitimate source for viewing there.

Now you tell me... what's so bad about that?
I wouldn't be surprised if Adani just asked "How much money will you make in your life time?" And just offered the same to close the firm.

I am not sure how you’re defining “militarily active”. China forcefully took over Tibet in 1950. Xinjiang was even earlier. But they’ve had many other acts of aggression since then. Encroachment on territory of Bhutan. Encroachment on territory of India. Disputes with Japan. Violation of treaties surrounding Hong Kong. Do these not count as militarily active?

But even if it were true, I don’t see what it would change in terms of geopolitical strategy. The US stands up for free speech, civil liberties, and other values that are compatible with free liberal societies. China is literally a dictatorship and practices dystopian authoritarian tactics like social credit scores, censorship, labor camps, and all of that. A number of areas (Tibet, Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Bhutan, Taiwan) need to be freed and protected from their control or threats. China threatens even more areas in the future, with the new dam they’re proposing in Tibet that will cut off water to countries like Bangladesh or India.

IANAL but it seems like whoever is running Bitfinex should endeavour to make all the creditors whole in whatever medium their debt was denominated, according to seniority. So if they owe users X BTC and other creditors Y USD, and the BTC debts are senior, they should hand out the BTC to users regardless of its dollar value and, if there is any left, auction it off for the benefit of the (junior, in this scenario) USD creditors.

You glossed over the one killer feature of the original iPhone: It had a fully functional web browser and enough compute power to just barely run it.

It didn't completely trash the layout of every other page. It was an actually useful web browser.
IMO, the switch from sodium lamps to LED lamps (one of the article's gripes) was for a good reason: lower use of electricity. I also happen to think that the light from sodium lamps looked ugly--much worse than a properly working LED lamp--but maybe that's a personal opinion. (I would also question the study that "showed" white light reduced melatonin production, but that's a different issue.)

(Re "properly working LED": apparently many street lamps in the US were built by a single company, and that company's bulbs are prone to turning purple over time. But that wasn't a reason not to make the switch back when, because at the time no one knew this would happen. It's being fixed now by replacing the purple bulbs with better quality LED bulbs.)
> best predictor of human behavior is still what they have done in the past

I do not agree.

I’m not sure in which context you are saying that. But that implies people never change, never learn, never get better. Specially that phrase is used in HR, what is terrible.

There are traits that are hard to change, and things that hardly change, as there are lots of things that do change.

That all being said, I’m totally with you, that the question has to be asked, but not to put the people in a box and never move them. Just to have a reference point in a changing curve.

> Now the Mac market share is above 20%, because eventually the people using it in schools start using it somewhere else

Absolutely no kid says “I love these shitty Chrome OS laptops that I have to use in schools. Can I have one at home!” When they get to choose a computer for college at least in the US, they overwhelmingly choose Macs.

And Dell overtook Apple in schools in 1999.

Even back in 2010, 70% of students were choosing to buy Macs for college

https://www.asymco.com/2010/08/04/70-percent-of-college-fres...

That trend has continued at least through 2020.

And saying that Linux grew from 1% to 5% in 10 years means it’s going to grow to 25% reads like every startup pitch. “We doubled from 1% to 2% in a year. At this rate we will have almost 70% of the market in 6 years!”

I agree these objects (just like colourised photos) help bridge the distance to the past. But I've had the same experience purely with text. If you read Cicero's letters and diaries, and then just imagine him - suffering writer's block, wracked with anxiety and self-doubt, desperate for his friends to cheer him up - as a neurotic, terminally-online Twitter user, it fits perfectly and breathes life into his every word.

>I could just keep reading a single newspaper

Completely unrelated, but this is the strategy I use. I try to keep out of the news but about once a week I go to the newspaper site to read what happened.

The obvious downside is that I get an extremely biased view on reality, so I try to account for that when reading the news.

But this gives me the advantage of consistency. I know how they generally report things and this makes spotting 'anomalies' a little easier.

Mentoring requires a significant amount of effort when done effectively. I find it hard to believe that anyone would willingly offer to mentor in such a broad manner. It makes me quite suspicious that the author has a genuine understanding of what mentoring entails.

In my opinion, mentoring has become a trend and a status symbol. The current definition of mentoring does not genuinely benefit anyone except the egos of those offering it.

To be honest, this entire post reeks of that.

I do research in a subfield of optics called nonimaging optics (optics for energy transfer, e.g. solar concentrators or lighting systems). We typically use these optical design applications, and your observations are absolutely correct. Make some optical design software that uses GPUs for raytracing, reverse-mode autodiff for optimization, sprinkle in some other modern techniques you may blow these older tools out of the water.

I am hoping to be able to get some projects going in this direction (feel free to reach out if anyone are interested).

PS: I help organize an academic conference my subfield of optics. We run a design competition this year [1,2]. Would be super cool if someone submits a design that they made by drawing inspiration from modern computer graphics tools (maybe using Mitsuba 3, by one of the authors of this book?), instead of using our classical applications in the field.

Not only does AI have no chance of threatening my job security, it makes my job easier the better it gets.

A larger task that usually takes me 3 hours I can shave off 2 with chatgpt. A task that takes me 1 hour, it can perform instantly. It can do 80% of a project for me with high rate of success but it can't do the last 20% - but neither can 99% of the ppl in my industry do it either.

I also asked chatgpt how long it'd take to take over my job:

"With your extensive experience across "insert my field", it would take a while for me to match the depth of your real-world knowledge and decision-making skills. However, I'm already here to assist with tasks like data analysis, generating reports, drafting documents, and providing insights, which can make your work more efficient. While I can handle many technical aspects, the nuanced judgment, leadership, and human connection inherent to your roles are unique to you and require a human touch that I'm not designed to replicate fully."

I then asked it to estimate how long it'd take to do 80% of my job: Chatgpt said maybe 5-10 years.

Can't wait.

> It absolutely is hurtful to users to have to make a choice dozens of times every day.

I'd argue that what is hurting the users, are the companies who insist that they need to track individuals in those ways. If they didn't, they wouldn't have to show the banners in the first place, and no user would have to confirm/reject anything.

Maybe I'm alone, but I prefer a choice every day of the week, as then I can at least chose for myself. The alternative is just unchecked privacy-violations, and that sounds worse to me, but we're all different, luckily.
