My cell phone has a 3.7v, 2018 mAh battery, for a total of 7.4 watt-hours.

That's enough power to drive a Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus a distance of... 55 meters.

Even if Qualcomm's code was solely responsible for completely draining my phone's battery every single day, it would still not be very much power.
No, you also gambled that they'd keep or increase in value, potentially to get even more out of them in the future.

Again, if you didn't want to accept that risk you could have just sold the stocks instead of taking a loan.

This isn't much different from taking a loan against a house, and then due to external circumstances the house drops in value, say a landfill next door. You're not getting back the property tax you paid.
I would add another axis to the graph. So x axis would be pace at which you work, and y axis would be novelty of work.

You can be burnt out doing fast paced repetitive work. It’s not always true the faster you go the more you learn.
Expanding the definition of the imaginary part, this says

(x - x∗) / 2i = 1

where x∗ denotes the complement. If you replace i with -i, the graph will be precisely the complement of the original graph.
It's absolutely complimentry. Pulse is an official Datadog partner and has an integration to Datadog. Pulse will send Datadog events and alerts it generates, enriching the Datadog experience.
The author never said you should spend most of the time at the “fast growth” stage. But you should spend most of your time at the “learning” stage and go back to the “comfort” stage as outside life events happen or just to take a mental break
This isn’t a forum of smart people. It’s a forum of asocial tech workers who write in authoritative prose but are just normal people at home staring blankly at a blue glow of a mental bug zapper

Quantum is just the next form of sampling the electromagnetic field. It’ll provide mesmerizing computational properties but not rewrite human DNA or beam our consciousness to another galaxy; it’ll fill up RAM and disk really fast with impenetrable amount of data it will take decades to analyze and build real experiments across contexts to verify. Tomorrow will still come and be a lot like yesterday for us.

All in all it’s more of the same

Even if it we do beam our minds it’s just a copy. These meat suits still gonna stop experiencing someday. Life for us isn’t going anywhere.
There is a big difference between 5 and 50 years driving. Your insurance has stats to back this up and will give lower premiums.

Now skills decline at 70 so that may offset some of it.

Based on previous conversations on this topic, I think the issue is that people don't actually prioritise the mini size above all else.

In other words whatever size the audience is for a mini phone they are further fragmented into people who want a flagship phone vs mid range phone vs budget phone.

And those market segments are too small to make it worth Apple or even most android manufacturers effort.
I believe hybrid in this context means, there is an office and some people come in as little or as much as they want/need, and some people are fully remote.
Last time I was laid off, I used my time to build a side project. While it hasn't grown to fully support me, it does provide a nice addition to my income.

If I worked in cybersec, I'd probably leverage my skills in bug bounty while I look for another position.
Notice the image which says “A pair of aces is a good start”, because two elderly people are sitting there. Think of it like each row being a pre-populated hand (which may be missing some cards) based on the people already sitting there. You pick it and then the “cards” change themselves between stations.

In other words, you pick immediately once the game starts. Look around to see which row you think has the best chance to develop into something good by the time you reach the designated station.
You do realise that Emacs runs in Windows?
This is great! Thanks! Founder of Pulse here. Happy to chat if you'd like to discuss further. I'm itamar at the pulse domain.
What I really want Apple to release is a foldable like Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy’s flagship models.

The idea of having a normal screen on the front but then a second foldable screen inside is a great tradeoff between form and function.

Unfortunately I can’t see Apple releasing this because it harms their tablet sales. Hopefully I’m proven wrong though.
Yep same here. AX102 crashes with almost no load, nothing in the logs, won't come on. Hetzner looked at it multiple times and found either nothing or replaced cpu paste or a PSU connector. I migrated to AX162 and so far so good
You would get deeper penetration from very high power leds driven intermittently though.

So there may be a very different grade of led in the pricy stuff.

Do you likewise idealize chattel slavers' plantations? Eichmann's bureaucracy?

What do you emulate from King Leopold's "colorful" subjugation of the Congo? How do you coach subordinates to follow the example of the conquistadors who plundered Latin America?

Are we so short of winning "good guys" that we must plumb the depths of evil for role models?

> The very structure of their thought has been conditioned by the contradictions of the concrete, existential situation by which they were shaped. Their ideal is to be men; but for them, to be men is to be oppressors. This is their model of humanity.

> use the crappiest SSDs they can buy

That might be a bad idea, from personal experience. I bought a cheap SSD from a reputable vendor (Crucial) to upgrade someone's old laptop. Sometimes (10-20% of the time?), the laptop boots about as slowly (or worse) as with a mechanical HDD. The SSD is a model entirely without RAM cache, which seems to cause some really bad performance cliffs.
It's in the hundreds of nodes.
Smoking is significantly worse for you and your family than obesity. It causes a greater reduction in life expectancy, and can impact the physical health of those who live or work with you via secondhand smoke.

It is simply wild how many ways nicotine can find to kill humans. All kinds of stuff stems from the lowly cigarette. Obesity impacts many more people (that is to say, we have more fat people than smokers/tobacco users), but it's far from as significant a health risk. I'm not sure we know enough to quantify vapes and chew vs. obesity.
The charitable interpretation is that they wanted to assure buyers that they would still be able to show off the laser projector to their friends :)

But no, I wouldn't be able to write that sentence myself without wanting to find the closest hole to hide out of embarrassment.
Most local police forces will provide a free escort service for someone who has to retrieve belongings in a domestic violence situation. Just call the non-emergency line and ask; they'd rather handle it that way than respond to an emergency call later. (This service might not be available in some cities where law enforcement is stretched thin due to government failures.)
Might be a question of cause and effect. My neurologist theorized my migraines were triggered by microemboli leaking through a PFO (leak between left and right side of the heart: normally the lungs filter this stuff out)

PFO closed, migraines basically gone.

PFO can lead to stroke too for the same reason, and that's when it's usually closed, after a stroke. Not all migraines are caused by PFO. I went on blood thinners first for a year as a test.

Here's the long story version:

I agree. This is a helpful take. The book Prediction Machines [1] is a longer version, and longer view explanation, of what Ben Evan's shares in the post you link to.

There are some enormous issues regarding hydrogen storage that will need to be resolved before it will be usable on aircraft.

Pressure vessels are heavy, hydrogen is explosive, both of those are incompatible with aircraft.
But what's the play?

It seems you don't have any control over the hand, no control over the evaluation, and there is no betting either.

Something more akin to bingo, where you call out when a winning combination is found, would be a lot more engaging.

Or maybe keep your chosen hand a secret, so you can do the normal betting/bluffing/folding of Poker? With the added fun that your hand might change over the course of the game.
do we really still train model for EACH airport?
We fully support both Elasticsearch and OpenSearch, each with their own specifics. For OpenSearch we support Ultrawarm / searchable snapshots, kNN vector search, and so on.
these seem to be more about archival after the fact. I would like to see a commercial certification & commitment right from the start, similar to OU for food, UL / ECE for electronics
But you need to align it perfectly.
> extremely difficult for Apple to cut out Qualcomm

it was extremely difficult, they have been working on this since at least ~6 years, maybe longer and involved buying intel 5G modem business

it also is lacking UWB which either Apple has given up on or is bringing back with future revisions of their modem
It is obvious that scientists are afraid for their job, that mere lab technicians will now be sufficient.
AFAIK Samsung doesn’t offer any mini devices either. If that’s true, it’s probably for the same reasons Apple doesn’t.
Being able to detect a single electron among billions sounds more like a good way to get entropy rather than something that can help with quantum measurements. At least that's my initial intuition being completely ignorant in Quantum Computing.

Yes and no.

The Mini didn't sell well...for an iPhone.

I have a 13 mini and will use it until it dies...just like the SE before it.
No, because it's enabled by the tech industry and tech figures. It's not big pharma or big oil that has anywhere near as much lobbying power or money.
Even better, it was already public. Like basically everything on DOGE's fake savings site listing the things they've 'found'. Literally already published on a US government site: https://www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_IDV_70CMSD22A00000008...
David Brin's Earth also posits an experiment that drops a micro black hole into orbit of the Earth's core that goes undetected for some time until it accumulates enough mass to cause problems. Notably, it also predicted glassholes.

My preschooler enjoyed Du Iz Tak? by Carson Ellis. The characters are insects who talk in an unintelligible language.

On the less weird, but still interesting side there's what's known to English speakers as Adventure Box - it's a translated version of the French monthly magazine J'aime lire which is published since 1977.
Because it isn't big. It's massive. Those are not the same thing. Our everyday intuitions deal with solids with densities within a couple of orders of magnitude (from very light foamy solids at perhaps 0.1 g/cm^3 to very dense metals around 20 g/cm^3), so the two can never be that far apart in everyday experience. But small black holes are many, many, many, many orders of magnitude denser than that.

When a big solid object (where "big" is "macroscopic") strikes your body at a low speed (where "low" is "a few km/s"), it interacts with the atoms in your body. It applies pressure to your body, primarily the degeneracy pressure[1] that pushes back when electron clouds push up against one another. The interaction tine is long (on the order of milliseconds to seconds), so not only is the applied force high, the force has time to do its work. The push overcomes the mechanical strength of the structures in your body, like the walls of your blood vessels or the membranes of your cells, shattering them and causing the secondary damage of bleeding, organ dysfunction, inflammation, vulnerability to infection, etc.

When our black hole here passes through you, though, it is both extremely small (smaller than an atom, if by "size" we mean its event horizon) and moving extremely fast (about ten times Earth's orbital velocity, or about a hundred times faster than a bullet).

It's too small to directly "eat" your tissues, and it isn't "pushing them out of the way" by much, either. It interacts with your body by tugging on it. That tugging would be enough to tear your body's structures apart if it were sustained (the tidal forces here are very extreme), but the hole is moving so quickly that while the force is very large, the impulse (force times time) is not. It does devastating damage along the very narrow corridor where it's munching up an atom or three as it goes and where it's applying ultra-extreme forces that matter even over these millisecond timescales, but the corridor of damage is so narrow that it doesn't disrupt the function of your body. (The paper establishes the mass cutoff where this would no longer be so, and where the gravitational shockwave would indeed be enough to start tearing at your body's structures.)

It's kind of like how you can snuff out a candle with your fingers, even though a typical candle flame is not much cooler than the surface of the Sun. The heat flux from the flame to your skin is extreme, but it's applied for such a short period of time that the total energy delivery is tiny and does not deal meaningful damage to the skin.

[1] Electrostatic repulsion plays a role, but degeneracy pressure is the primary thing that makes matter take up space.
Apple should just start a preorder site for a small iPhone 17 and wait until enough are collected to make it.

(Or do what I always thought they should do and have a small iPhone and a normal sized one with identical internals, only the case, battery, and screen would be different.)
I had an iPhone 5 until AT&T completely stopped supporting it. Would buy an SE, but I'm too skeptical of used phones.
But that wider range by itself means nothing. It only matters in the context of what it enables and how well it enables it.
This article has a strong ChatGPT smell. Things like "in the world of", "let's dive into", the bullet points, "conclusion" section, etc. Anyone else have the same feeling?
AFAICT his only response in that thread:

> Right now the rules is Linus can force you whatever he wants (it's his project obviously) and I think he needs to spell that out including the expectations for contributors very clearly.

> For myself I can and do deal with Rust itself fine, I'd love bringing the kernel into a more memory safe world, but dealing with an uncontrolled multi-language codebase is a pretty sure way to get me to spend my spare time on something else. I've heard a few other folks mumble something similar, but not everyone is quite as outspoken.

He gets villianized and I don't think all his interactions were great, but this seems pretty reasonable and more or less in line with what other people were asking for (clearer direction from Linus).

That said, I don't know, maybe Linus's position was already clear...
Auto-shutdown for inactive dev environments–no idle GPUs
Multiply that by 100 million phones and you'll understand what I'm saying.
I'm not sure I agree. I can almost guarantee that if you give a common task to a driver who's driven five years and 30 years - there's virtually no difference.

Lower premiums might just be because they've been in less accidents for that long, so they've sustained consistent level of safe driving and it doesn't translate to the idea that they necessarily are more skilled drivers.

Doing a task consistently is what insurance companies are rewarding, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they're more skilled at it, they've just been at it longer.
> the first cellular modem designed by Apple

Whoah! Maybe Apple can now figure out how to put a cellular modem in a MacBook Pro.
I watched a Demuro video where he visited Nikola's factory. Yes, the founder defrauded investors, but it's clear the engineers were building real things. They just were nowhere near where the founder claimed. So there is probably some value there, as it's not complete vaporware. But clearly they couldn't turn it around.
Great thing about the Lexington Ave subway in New York is that you can legally gamble with your own money just by setting foot on it!
> but the reduced bill of materials on smaller phones should allow a better profit margin?

Is there a significantly reduced bill of materials? At best, the correlation between size and cost is very small. Most of the costs are in software, manufacturing, etc, not in materials.

Also, would there be a better profit margin? I bet customers won’t want to pay the same for a smaller phone, certainly not give that it will have lower battery life (power usage will, at best, go up with screen area, and battery volume will go up faster than phone volume because parts such as CPUs will not be smaller in smaller phones)
Not in danger now, but have got laid off in the past.

- Make yourself as valuable as possible at your current job. Solve business problems and raise your profile so your managers and other managers see you as too important to lay off.

- Start making as many new professional friends/contacts as you can. If you do get laid off you want to have plenty of people to call who can give you leads and inside tracks.

- Look into freelancing.

The last time I worked for a company that started laying people off I volunteered to work on some key projects outside of my team, including stuff no one else wanted to do. I kept in touch with people I had worked with at previous jobs, and then people laid off from the current employer because they went out looking for jobs. And I started taking on freelance work.
Well it's 11% longer, wider, and thicker than the 13 mini, which has better everything than the SE.

Yeah but how much of the insurance rate is just down to age though vs driving experience.

The average person at 66 is much more risk averse than they were at 21.
The should have designed two phones, normal size and small, where the internals are the same and the only difference is the case/battery/screen.
Have 6-12 months of living expenses, apply for unemployment when dismissed, negotiate the best severance agreement you can (if applicable), start looking for your next gig.
Yea, follow the money. Funny, it was the left who where blindly simping for the World Economic Forum over the last decade or so.
True but the alignment magnets of MagSafe and Qi2 were a huge quality of life improvement. You are probably better off just using USB to charge this one
It’s all fun and games until the seat in your car—or spaceship—says, “Moisturize me!”
I mean if you look at the leveling guidelines of every single tech company that I’m
aware of, “senior” is defined by “scope”, “impact” and “dealing with ambiguity”. They may state it different ways. But it all boils down to this.

You are not a “senior” if you spent 3 years pulling tickets off the board with well defined business goals.

Ahh, of course, custom hw with custom software, everything is wireless connected on the home network, but for some reason you must connect to third party cloud, allowing them to brick your system with such a speed, like it was some future technology.
Semi-related: I had a Remarkable 2 and the best part of it for me was the texture writing. I decided to use a Surface Book 3 but the writing isn't the same... probably will try one of those textured surface cover things.

E-ink is interesting as it's nice wrt long battery life but the slowness sucks too and this is not about the Android devices with an e-ink screen. RM2 you could program so that was cool.
> Now you’re just being obtuse. Most of my comments were on a par with your own comments.

I strongly disagree.

> In fact some of the comments you’ve just shared are literally just repackaging similar remarks I made about 2000!

Except, the context matters, because 7 was a continue refinement of those things whereas things took a downturn other than that, meaing 7 was the peak, which is what is part of the justfiication.

> I’m honestly surprised you can’t see the irony in your comments.

Because I think it only exists in your perception.

> You’re literally applying a double standard where its “objective” it’s your judgement but anyone else’s judgement that disagrees with your own is subjective.

Not at all, I have repeatedly stressed that objective criteria should be fined and used.

I’ve got a fair amount more I’d love to discuss, but it’s probably better we just agree to disagree.

Entirely up to you. I'll probably keep replying every time I see a reply. If you think we can have productive discussion, then I hope you would continue, if you think we are seeing things too differently and the discussion will devolve and not be productive, then I would hope you don't.

I will note that in a recent, separate discussion you resorted to insults and vulgarity. If you think the same would occur in this discussion with me, knowing we disagree, then I would definitely ask that we just leave it here - but again, I will continue to reply to any messages received that I feel are misrepresenting anything or need what I consider correction.
Maybe now they can put a cellular modem in a MacBook Pro.
It's likely not tested very well, but in principle you can build and run Dolphin on Windows.
No they're lucky, all the best medical discoveries are for them.
Mastodon is great, but non-algorithmic, so it only gets good after you explore and follow more people who are interesting. Garbage in-garbage out. I find it very high signal to noise and full of interesting people. Bluesky is where people go to talk to an audience, mastodon or fediverse people tend to be more conversational.
This is one thing I've been wondering about AI: will its broad training enable it to uncover previously covered connections between areas the way multi-disciplinary people tend to, or will it still miss them because it's still limited to its training corpus and can't really infer.

If it ends up being more the case that AI can help us discover new stuff, that's very optimistic.
Looks cool.
A subscription to use it? Hard pass.
It's funny how iPads are marketed as laptop replacements, but everyone with an iPad has a laptop too. Especially the Apple fans who tell you it's a laptop replacement.
Have you used one? Is it really better?

Putting aside the biggest issue which is a creased and more fragile screen, I’m not really convinced it’s a better experience. Having more real estate for movies seems useful, but it’s otherwise difficult to type/hold/tap on such a large screen without a full commitment to tablet usage (which often includes a stand). I’m also not really sure how often I’d use the larger format.
I don't see people speaking up disagreeing with W7 being the best, one guy said 10 was objectively better, but he didn't respond for us to be able to discuss.

If you search best versions of windows, pretty much every single result is giving it to win7. I think that's sufficiently convincing evidence for my point.

Also, in response to comment being downvoted as though that indicated something, your comment disagreeing with my first comment is more downvoted than my own, indicating more people disagree with your contention than with my ranking.
Hopefully one they do a Pro Mini, fingers crossed.
