We archeological evidence of broken bones that healed. If you are alone in the woods fractures would be deadly, but humans generally exist in society, and society often (not always!) takes care of them own. Maybe you can't walk, but we will carry you around and hunt food and such until you heal. Clearly their rest of life was worse after the fracture, but it is also clear that many had a long life after the fracture.
> Certainly, compared to road cycling, I know more people with major injuries from being hit by cars than from crashing solo on a mountain bike.

Speed must be part of it. Low sun and going into the back of a parked car or other obstacle is a common mistake, and road bikes get up some good speed on most rides. Many riders pass 80kmh on a regular basis, which doesn’t leave a lot of room for error. I’m rather slower than that, but 50-60kmh would be a daily event.

It would probably involve a small physical adjustment to the device. Whether or nor Meta provides that option is a good question.

VR and AR devices so far always use a fixed focal plane for everything. Usually around 1 meter. So, if you are looking at a distant object in VR or through AR video passthrough, your eyes need to focus at around 1 meter.

I know some VR headsets that offer customizable lens. But, I don't know about this device in particular.

Yes, experience compression is absolutely possible without sacrificing an appendage. This is actually an expectation for military officers and corporate executives. The solution is just to stay continuously busy.

The counterpoint to this is alienation. Most people at the individual contributor level absolutely do not think about this.

backblaze(or any large storage provider) is never going to recover data from a failed storage drive. Their whole value proposition is that they are designed so they don't need to. In fact if I remember correctly, backblaze does not even try to replace failed drives, they wait until a rack unit ~ 60 drives degrades to given amount then replace the whole unit.

Fun fact, one of the surprising differences between consumer grade drives and enterprise grade drives is the firmware in the enterprise drives is designed to fail fast. The theory being a consumer drive is probably the sole unit and should probably give every effort to limp along, to give the user a chance to get the data off. While an enterprise drive is probably part of a redundant array and should die quickly so the rebuild process can start as soon as possible.

Queues Are Databases (1995)

Message-oriented-middleware (MOM) has become an small industry.
MOM offers queued transaction processing as an advance over pure
client-server transaction processing. This note makes four points:
Queued transaction processing is less general than direct transaction
processing. Queued systems are built on top of direct systems.
You cannot build a direct system atop a queued system.
It is difficult to build direct, conversational, or distributed
transactions atop a queued system. Queues are interesting databases
with interesting concurrency control. It is best to build these
mechanisms into a standard database system so other applications
can use these interesting features. Queue systems need DBMS functionality.
Queues need security, configuration, performance monitoring, recovery,
and reorganization utilities. Database systems already have these features.
A full-function MOM system duplicates these database features.
Queue managers are simple TP-monitors managing server pools driven by queues.
Database systems are encompassing many server pool features
as they evolve to TP-lite systems.

Just as the invention of writing degraded human memory (before that they memorized whole stories, poems), with the advent of AI, humans will degrade their thinking skills and knowledge in general.

I think the idea is that black holes can never shrink to a size small enough to emit a hawking radiation hotter than CMB as long as it receives photons from the CMB that that will balance the mass/energy of the black hole and keep it in equilibrium.

This obviously is not a problem if you create a new very small black hole from scratch as it only applies to pre-existing black holes that are massive enough so that their hawking radiation temperature is lower than the CMB

I don't doubt that a good GC can generally outperform a simple refcounting scheme, but when it comes to the aforementioned count-of-one optimization, Rust already gives you that out of the box by dint of the fact that owned values are moved by default and bumping the refcount is an explicit operation, which means that in any given scope you can simply pass the handle on if you're done with it and subsequent functions can access it without needing to touch the counter at all.

"Inside Apple’s Spectacular Failure to Build a Key Part for Its New iPhones"

>The 2018 marching orders from Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook to design and build a modem chip—a part that connects iPhones to wireless carriers—led to the hiring of thousands of engineers. The goal was to sever Apple’s grudging dependence on Qualcomm, a longtime chip supplier that dominates the modem market. The obstacles to finishing the chip were largely of Apple’s own making, according to former company engineers and executives familiar with the project. Apple had planned to have its modem chip ready to use in the new iPhone models. But tests late last year found the chip was too slow and prone to overheating. Its circuit board was so big it would take up half an iPhone, making it unusable.

I wonder what happens to the electrons when/if they interact with the black hole. There's already weird stuff going on there with electrons being particles and waves. So, I wonder what happens when you introduce something like a black hole to the equation. Does it have a charge? I'm assuming it'd break through the electron shell; would it absorb the electron/s upon interacting with the shell?

If they can standardize their whole lineup around two sizes, regular and max, then I think it will be a very hard sell to add extra work and complexity for the production lines for a smaller size that sells both lower volumes and lower price. Don't get me wrong, I love the Mini and have one right now, but from a business management perspective I can totally see how getting rid of it makes sense.

Another aspect that I think is often missed is that the Mini physically cannot offer the same battery life as other iPhones. Many say they don't mind this, but over time as the battery life deteriorates, it becomes a pain point all the same. I think that is another aspect of why they don't like the small form factor.
I do sometimes think this about the info I get from his blog. He’s a fun writer and so I think, like lots of us, I probably over-value his takedowns.

But, we should keep in mind the stakes, right? He provides a compelling argument that, actually, Sparta was not even that great at marshaling up a bunch of guys with big spears. That’s a nice beachhead in the conversation as to whether Spartan values are valuable, if you think they aren’t.

But even if he is wrong, what does it mean? Big groups of guys with spears don’t win wars nowadays anyway so even if we think a value system’s ability to win wars is very important (pretty questionable!) spartan-ism is obviously much worse than something like liberal democracy, which produced nukes and stealth bombers which could kill, like, endless numbers of spear guys (however good they are at lining up).

60hz refresh is totally fine, there's no reason to be salty about it.
The mismatch between AI’s actual utility and its hype reminded me of Prediction Machines[1], which frames technological change as progressing from point solutions → platform solutions → system solutions.

We’re still in the “what the heck is the point solution here” phase, with a lot of anticipation for platform and system-level shifts. There are some point solutions—like coding assistants—that make existing workflows more efficient and higher quality, but they haven’t translated easily to other domains. Platform solutions require completely rethinking workflows holistically, and system solutions demand restructuring everything that depends on those workflows. That’s going to be slow and messy. Including financially messy.

The book likens this to the introduction of electricity. Initially, electrification meant new individual machines in factories organized around steam power. Steam power was hard to turn on and off and not at all portable. Actually getting the full benefit of electricity meant redesigning factories around electricity use as-needed (not just when the steam engine was running) and spatially organize around task efficiency (not proximity to the steam energy production). All that was not a quick shift.

I very much sympathize with the author's frustration over hype that fails to understand the underlying technology and puts unwarranted faith in a small collection of corporate leaders. But I do think that this technology does have a high degree systems change potential and possibly the momentum to see it through this time. Not that we know how that will play out of which actors or forces will bring it to fruition. It really doesn't feel the same as the other tech crazes of the last two decades.

Okay, maybe I spoke to strongly, it is very widely used and does have some nice ideas (Spring Boot is awesome). But it's just my opinion that Spring does give a lot of new devs the idea that Java is overly complex. And for me at least, I've only needed to use dependency injection once throughout my years as a dev (worked in many companies, large to small). Had to rename a class in a large microservice and didn't have to do a search and replace to rename all the places it was used.

But, in my opinion, the cons outweigh the benefits. It adds a lot of complexity for a feature that is rarely used. Am sure if used in a major refactor it'd be nice, but some search and replace is much better than adding an entire layer to your system that in many ways is not strongly typed (auto-wiring), and also adds an entire set of steps to the debugging process. Am actually pretty good at debugging Spring wiring problems, but still don't think you should have to have learned the art of Spring wiring just to debug something relatively simple - how your components are linked together - and all done at runtime.

To me, if tool builders want to support dependency injection, it should be done at the compiler level, along with the rest of the linking of objects. Yeah, don't think dynamically wiring objects is all that useful for a very large majority of builds...
... thought it over, I think I'd like this actually. A new, dedicated component type where the Java compiler checks your DI. That might be very nice. Yeah, also because having a component type will support using DI where it should be, at the component level, not on every class like it tends to be used.

The parent article is better at describing the engineering challenges. Amazing approach:

"MZMs are the building blocks of our qubits, storing quantum information through ‘parity’—whether the wire contains an even or odd number of electrons...How can we distinguish between, say, 1,000,000,000 and 1,000,000,001 electrons?..."
I wouldn't trust HN one bit (or one qubit) to comment usefully on this question, but presumably hundreds of people are already bugging Scott Aaronson to blog about it. He'll probably have a post in the next couple days saying whether we have permission to be excited.
