I never got used to shorts/reels/etc, but it is troubling to see kids addicted to them. I have been thinking that by forcing some pause between videos it would remove some of their addictiveness.
Considering the impact all of this advertising has had on Tesla sales and stock, I'd be very worried if I worked for SpaceX right now.
I guess I don't see why Pebble, or any smart watch, should need a phone at all. The watch should be able to connect to wifi and/or cellular by itself. We should be able to run full apps on the watch itself.
The accelerometer? How can the accelerometer measure speed? It would drift to massive error very quickly.
Well it’s just that there was public shaming if found out, which is just as violent in a small group of people in which everything is based on reputation.
Haven't bought something from outside the EU in a while? They charge us at least VAT (maybe over a certain price, depending on your jurisdiction) :)

Large stores can afford to precalculate this and use a service that will handle taxes for you, small stores not so much so you may end paying it personally on receiving the package. But they can afford to precalculate it if the taxes are known in advance (usually starts at whatever your country's VAT rate is).

Now in this case, shipping to the US looks like it will be randomly taxed depending on the phase of the moon and how well Trump has slept last night, so this warning is fair. You can't expect them to absorb a 50% import tax if it's established tomorrow.
Do you care about self-serve analytics (i.e. allowing people that don't know SQL to explore your data)?

A semantic layer is the best way to enable self-serve analytics, but if you don't care about it, it's probably not worth the hassle.

We also use the semantic layer for other nice things like setting goals, column descriptions and other metadata.
Welcome to the world of crowded apps and busy professionals. In coming future real problem would be getting people's attention, building apps is the easy bit.

Yes? Imagine a bug where iMessages are leaked over Bluetooth when a user has installed an application that integrates with some watch brand. Bring this to an airport and you can steal hundreds/thousands of messages from a wide range of people. That’s widely different attack vector than targeting macOS.

That said, I don’t see why Apple can’t provide toolkit/certification that will make it safe to communicate over Bluetooth. They already have it in-place for Apple Watch.
You can still do that even without changing the timestamp. Back in the old days of the internet, people used to get famous by claiming they predicted all the results of the FIFA World Cup by posting every possible outcome and then deleting those where they were wrong. Then, they would publicize their account just before the final match, and people would go wild.
IME, most websites respond to the Accept-Encoding header, or at least send uncompressed data in the absence of it. I normally do not send this header and I almost always receive uncompressed data. Sometimes there are rare exceptions. (For these I excpetions usually test with Accept-Encoding: identity.) I am generally curious about these exceptions, hence the comment. At least once, the website operator responded indicating it was due to a configuration error.
I think an AI can help with a code review. I see tones for submitted CR requests for stuff that flat out doesn't compile or pass tests.

And I'll be the contra to your take: the iMessage ecosystem is so closed that everyone without iphones can barely even interact via sms with iphone users. This is overall such a huge problem that it makes the closed ecosystem security solution not a practical solution
> Your main problem is confidence.

Oh, I have confidence alright. I’m confident I can single-handedly cause a sev at work. Jokes aside, I think I know where I stand compared to my peers skills-wise. I try to make up for it in other ways though, and it hasn’t been a problem for my employer so far.
The problem with hacking is that it's far easier to patch a vulnerability than it is to redesign a currency note and reissue new batches of them across an entire printing press while removing the old ones (some real, some fake) from circulation very slowly.

Also, Bitcoin has never had the counterfeiting problem of currency notes, largely because there's no such capacity for bad actors to create or issue counterfeit Bitcoin, as Bitcoin backed by mathematical work that must be performed to in order to mine/"mint" new Bitcoin, unlike US Federal Reserve Notes, which are backed by nothing more than an Intaglio printing press, some engraving plates with publicly-available designs, and 3D security ribbons, ribbons featuring ink that is visible under a blacklight (you can find which chemicals exhibit this property on Wikipedia), some paper, and some linen. Oh, and every single one of those ingredients are are produced by a third party (NOT the US Bureau of Printing and Engraving), who all solemnly pinky promise they don't secretly keep and distribute any extras :)
I acknowledge this is a niche concern/complaint but this is a niche product for a niche base of folks, I'm simply curious about why. I want this to succeed and be sustainable so I asked about the utility of the sensor and provided a counter example since it's additional raises complexity.

It is not common to wear watches for more than a few days at a time simply because there are not many whose battery will last that long. The effects of fatigue/pressure point from the sensor bump are less observed but not missing. With 30 days on wrist, I can extrapolate that fatigue will be more pronounced - so I am calling it out. I understand I am a small sample size but I have 2 watches whose battery lasts 7 days and the one without the bump is more pleasant to wear for a week between charges. To the point that I always reach for the comfort option and eventually sold off the other.

On a lighter note, I do hope I'm not providing a series of increasingly bizarre and nonsensical questions or scenarios ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YDpvMYk5jA

My thought is that this is not going to last. Law enforcement is completely different from a year ago, when they "couldn't find" who was ransacking Apple retail stores. There are many lawful forms of expressing your views.
my Chinese smartwatch can get imessages. It can't send messages, but it can use the AI voice (SIRI) to send messages. It can't delete messages either.

PebbleOS is asking for the ability to respond to messages with reply or user interactions. This is not a security breach. And it won't leak from encryption anymore than it is leaking now.
“Warrantless surveillance” was yesterday's concern, back when Snowden's revelations were in the news.

Today the concern is war, both economic and literal.

From that perspective, I'll gladly use Australian, or Canadian online services, while avoiding using US ones for as much as possible. Note, I don't think it will be long before services like Fastmail will start moving their servers. Again, yesterday the US was an ally, whereas today the writing is on the wall.
It would, but it would also decrease the video quality. I'm not opposed to letting my kids watch YouTube, there is a lot of good quality content there, but having some agency in what they pick would be a lot better than the current behavior of short after short after short. Just like snacking on fast food.

I think you just don't understand the point. I don't care for choosing between 15 different brands making differently colored RAM either when it's all the same standardized thing, but you bet we're in a lot of trouble when it's only one brand at all. Competition isn't always "technically pure" and "elegant" or meaningful.

Capital controls make the powerful accountable to democracy, because we're not letting them take their toys and go home. The obsolescence of such controls does not bring about more freedom for us. It just means the rich and powerful can play a shell game with the people.

Calls? Or just emergency texts?

The closest thing to what you probably want is the Garmin Forerunner 945 LTE:

https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/698632

Discontinued, but young for Garmin devices and still available if you're willing to pay irrational amounts of money. It doesn't make audio calls out, but can receive audio messages (to Bluetooth headphones) and send/receive "emergency" text messages either to the Garmin emergency response center (sends a helicopter to your location, if required) or by SMS with a few canned messages or tediously entered custom messages to to a predefined, pre-approved set of emergency contacts, as described here:

Some personal favorites:

- Your Money Or Your Life

Great book on financial independence and simple investing. Get the 2017 version since they made modifications to their investing recs to be less bond centric.

- I Will Teach You To Be Rich

The name is gaudy IMO, but the contents are very rational and cover pretty much all the foundations of personal finance, from investing to budgeting, to enjoying your life. The name feels like a get rich quick thing, but it's about what the other describes as "living your rich life" - essentially enjoying your money in addition to saving and investing for the future.

- The Simple Path To Wealth

Great simple investing book. Probably the best investing book for the average person, in my opinion. Well written, to the point, and rational.

There are some other great books out there, but those are three solid ones to start with. I Will Teach You To Be Rich is the most catch all based on what you're looking for.

Even if I can learn programming concepts in spanish or any other language, I will need to use english to communicate with my peers. Building a jargon for concepts that I cannot communicate is a lost of time. No one will understand me (maybe not even other spanish speakers) if I refer to a stack as a "pila". So yes, even with high quality content in other languagues, I stil be refering to english version.

That said, if in the future that status quo changes, and chinese dominate the programming world...well, then I'll be reading in chinese (and I will have a hard time doing so)

Rory Sutherland calls this the "doorman fallacy".

We look at a doorman and might naively think their function is to open doors so if we can replace their function, we can replace the person. Then we build an automation, fire the doorman and subsequently discover the doorman was responsible for a multitude of social tasks, like taking in the mail, co-ordinating services, providing small tasks for the residents etc. and that physically opening and closing doors was actually the least important part of their job.

Similarly, we think the purpose of code review must obviously be for reviewing code until we look deeper and understand the sociological purposes of code review.

Technologists have a bad habit of entering into a field they don't know, observing but not talking to any of the people they're trying to automate and assuming only the most legible parts of anyone's job are important to grok. It's important to understand that the value any job or function brings can often be totally opaque to an outsider and it requires actually talking to people and understanding total value chains to fully understand where technology can be used to improve things.

Well in europe letting me know what the real price is only at the cash register and not when I check out the product in the store is as unusual as your problem with import duties :)

Modern readers seem to misinterpret writings by virtue ethicists as self help, perhaps because much of modern "philosophical" discourse is just disguised therapy books.
These are descriptive, not prescriptive, when Aquinas says what perseverence means he doesn't tell you what to do to be virtuous, but what the virtue in itself is.
Although there are some prescriptions in the Summa (see Ia IIae Q38 as a prime example), Aquinas mostly left the study of the building of virtue to other writers, as it is a secondary matter.

Your variable names must be horrible ;-)

I do get your point about visualizing software relationships in the design phase, though. I'd still say, as a 40+ year programmer, that we can never escape the concept-words that are the foundation of programming, e.g. types, variables, functions, classes, encapsulation, pipeline, executable, etc.

Even if we are not consciously thinking of the terms, my guess is that, at a certain level of proficiency, we are using them at a kindof subconscious level.

It's an interesting meta-topic, and I won't say you're wrong, but we've certainly stumbled into a mostly unexplored land where no map yet exists. That's why programming is so challenging, difficult, and fascinating.

Peace be with you, friend.

Gah! Why did they name their installer Anaconda? That name is already totally overloaded by the python Anaconda, which I notice now bills itself as "The Operating System for AI".

That's like naming your programming language "JIT", or "Compiler" or..."Hack".

> ...people being upset about reddit using their posts for AI training,...

I'm one of these people, and I'm not visiting or contributing to Reddit anymore. My logic is simple: "Ask me first". I may say yes, I may say no, but ask me first.

I'm bullish about ethics and transparency. I work on FAIR Data at work, as a side quest. Transparency, consent and licenses are a big part of it. Honoring it is important at every level. Both ethically, and both for integrity reasons.

As a result, when someone does something behind me, and if they didn't ask me first, I leave when I find out. I was this close to abandoning Go when they first declared that the telemetry will be opt-out. Now it's opt-in, and so I still use Go.

It's not that I don't send usage data, either. Some applications and parties I trust get telemetry from me, but all of them were opt-in and asked me first.

In short, a bit of decency and agency goes a long way in my eyes.

Motion-First vs. Cognition-First: China's Unitree challenges Western humanoid robotics paradigm

While Boston Dynamics spent 10+ years perfecting Atlas without commercialization, and Tesla's Optimus remains in prototype phase after 4+ years, China's Unitree brought humanoid robots to market in just 6 months at 1/50th of competitors' prices. This represents not just a cost difference but fundamentally divergent engineering philosophies—prioritizing physical capability and immediate market feedback versus sophisticated AI systems. Which model proves more successful could reshape robotics development trajectories globally.
Once, long ago, I wrote some pithy, earth-shattering thoughts onto the wall while extremely high, and was self-satisfied at the gift I'd bestowed upon the world. The next day I had no idea or recollection of what it meant, and on reflection I wish it had been on a white board and not wallpaper.
For voice integration, you can just provide a bluetooth microphone on you device and have it access Siri. Garmin have tried the same strategy on some of their watches.

What you can't do is reply to a text without using voice, which is what I'd like.
I don't understand why Alexa/Siri etc don't just keep their hardcoded rules for things like "set an alarm" and only ship things to a cloud LLM if they don't match a rule.

I haven't owned a Pebble but have long heard how nice they are. That said, this is wrong:

>It’s impossible for a 3rd party smartwatch to send text messages, or perform actions on notifications (like dismissing, muting, replying) and many, many other things.

My Amazfit Balance lets me dismiss iOS notifications. I don't know how Amazfit's Zepp app enables this functionality; all I know is that it works.

Its integration with iOS is not ideal or complete; for example, although I can take and make phone calls with its mic and speaker, I can't talk to Siri through it despite my ancient $20 running headset being able to do so. But Balance's other advantages are more than enough for me to go with it over an Apple Watch.
