Violent supernovae 'triggered at least two Earth extinctions'
'At least two mass extinction events in Earth's history were likely caused by the 'devastating' effects of nearby supernova explosions, a new study suggests. Researchers say these super-powerful blasts -- caused by the death of a massive star -- may have previously stripped our planet's atmosphere of its ozone, sparked acid rain and exposed life to harmful ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. They believe a supernova explosion close to Earth could be to blame for both the late Devonian and Ordovician extinction events, which occurred 372 and 445 million years ago respectively.'
How did you make whisper better? I used whisper large to transcribe 30 podcast episodes and it did an amazing job. The times it made mistakes were understandable like confusing “Macs” and “Max”, slurred speech or people just saying things in a weird way. I was able to correct these mistakes because I understood the context of what was being talked about.

Another thing I noticed is whisper did a better job of transcribing when I removed a lot of the silences in the audio.

It's an interesting read an hard to disagree with.

More interesting perhaps for the typical employee is how they would get to such a position, starting in a junior position.

One key advice here is to stop behaving like an employee. By that I mean to start reflecting on what it is you are doing, what you are being asked to do, why you are being asked to do, etc. Apply some critical thinking. Ask questions if you don't understand something. Not to be obnoxious but to educate yourself. What would you do if you were in charge? Try to come up with ideas on how to your work better. Try to do those things. Get feedback on how you are doing. This is not about seeking conflict but simply seeking understanding and more control over what it is you do. You can't hope to manage others if you can't manage yourself.

Once you are in control of what you do, the rest comes naturally. Whether that's via promotions, new jobs, or starting your own business. It all starts with challenging the notion that you are just there to do whatever it is you are told to do. That's what employees do.

Don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with being a good employee. Good, loyal employees are great to have. If you run a team, company or whatever, you need those to get stuff done. But they'll never run things for you. That's your job. And having too many captains on the ship is also not great. Good to reflect on the next time you have a work conflict. It's not always about being right.

Employees are mostly just reacting to inputs around them (from their boss, colleagues, whatever) but rarely act pro-actively. Reacting pro-actively, without being told, is the key difference. Some people do that naturally and can't stop themselves doing that, other people simply don't have that in them. Nothing wrong with that. Figure out which you are early and then act accordingly.
I disagree that in general it’s not useful to debate subjective matters.

What is being debated is not whether the given label applies, but whether the label should apply (which really means what the label means), which are subtly different things. The outcome of such a debate is an improved definition or at least an improved understanding of the sense in which others use the label.

I take it you don’t think it pointless to have an argument about whether or not something is ‘racist’, for example.
You said "China can't copy and lead at the same time." I'm saying leaders always have to be copying, or they don't stay leaders for long. Market leaders won't hesitate to copy (not "steal") the work of overall less advanced companies if they can benefit from it somehow.
rejecting people's claims when a doctor says it is required is a great example of a conflict of interest. The company is a judge in their own case against the patient. And there is an impartial doctor whose word is just ignored in this "court" case
Isn't the question then about the lesser evil? It's wrong to deny unions on the basis that some people are corrupt. Some people in companies are corrupt too and the US lies squarely in the middle of the corruption index https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_Perceptions_Index?w...
I don't see why America!=Norway is a relevant argument.

Well, that is the problem with them making Siri useful for everyone - it is made for discussers and deciders.

Summarise a meeting here.

While yes, there is some usefulness in having something summarise things for you, most people in their day to day lives don't handle a "100 emails from everyone" and "30 meetings with 40 different department heads" or whatever these people do.

Quite a big gap from the market they are targeting with Siri.

Agree that they can't start from scratch. But they could acknowledge their shortcomings wrt to software and start moving things in the right direction. I had never seen so many complaints about software quality at Apple than the last release of MacOS with their networking issues and many other.

They are in a decent position where they already set expectations that they will deprecate and retire old stuff on a regular basis compared to Microsoft which is trying to preserve backwards compatibility forever.

Giving it to OpenAI won't solve their problem with Siri (although some of that expertise could help). Part of it has to be engineered into their platform with better extensibility while also preserving privacy, security, etc. And that work could also enable their platform APIs, Shortcuts and such to have access to a much more powerful set of things.
Looks good. How do I share across devices?

Would I ever be able to see the source, or run whatever backend the above request requires myself? Maybe I've answered my first question and this thing is 100% client side.

I've been using https://www.usememos.com/ as of late, so the concept resonates with me. It's the first note taking app I've went all in on that seems to make time a first-class feature. Yours takes that even further by breaking it down per entry.

There's such an odd deference to the perpetrator's chosen language here.

If I go take someone's wallet, I don't get to get away with calling it a "seizure", "forfeiture", or "revenue". It'd be called theft or robbery, and I'd go to prison.

There's something infantile about how we go along with the state's fictions and pretenses rather than just calling their wording of "civil forfeiture" by its natural wording of "robbery".

I think the origin of this the formation of "district attorneys", followed by only allowing them to prosecute, as well as professional police forces. This is a sharp deviation from and degradation of common law, which used to allow anyone to initiate a prosecution against anyone, and which levied the responsibility of law enforcement on everyone.
The 1980s were not a particularly enlightened time for programming language design; and Dijkstra's opinions seem to carry extra weight mainly because his name has a certain shock and awe factor.

It isn't usual for me to agree with the mathematical convention for notations, but the 1st element of a sequence being denoted with a "1" just seems obviously superior. I'm sure there is a culture that counts their first finger as 0 and I expect they're mocked mercilessly for it by all their neighbours. I've been programming for too long to appreciate it myself, but always assumed it traces back to memory offsets in an array rather than any principled stance because 0-counting sequences represents a crazy choice.
Hi guys, original creator of the emulator here. I am shocked by how much attention my little hobby project is getting. Thanks for the support.

The answer is a very obvious "no" in any society that claims to be free.

Frankly it's terrifying that these sorts of questions are being posed as real dilemmas in western societies in 2025.
When I said "in line" I didn't mean 1:1 or 100%. I may have picked a bad phrase there, I was intending to say that there would be a strong correlation between the two and that a majority of the extra Monet would go towards price increases.

I forget the general rule when it comes to companies, but there's a general percentage that is often how much a price increase on a company is passed on to consumers. If a company's tax rate goes up by 10% something like 8% of that is passed on to the consumer through price increases. I'd expect something similar with a UBI.
Yeah for some jobs you don’t need a lot of fluff. Some markets do. Carpentry is an honest job. You do your job well and people will find you.
Conflicting motivations sounds like a very reasonable thing in large populations, in fact. But I have a hard time believing why workers wouldn't unanimously want better pay, better conditions, and more power. I would be curious to see any counter examples!
The fact that webdevs believe it is shit UI is a big indicator that it is quite good.
Yeah, I worked on things geared towards the general public so we had to support, say, a senior citizen who was using old computers at the underfunded library or senior center. They weren’t a high percentage of total traffic but it was still millions of people.

It was definitely frustrating knowing that a better world was possible but not quite there.
Yeah I'm aware that it works. I'm just saying it's a bad choice. It's slower than most other languages, the language itself is just plain bad, the standard library is poor, npm isn't great, there's really just no good reason to use it other than "our devs don't know anything else".
It's like a Bizarro World Dr. Bronner's label.
I'd talk to an attorney who specializes in copyright law before I took this idea too far.

While I know it is both easy and a common act to copy HTML, learn from it, tweak it, etc... it also probably violates copyright law. IANAL, so don't take my word for it - ask.

First of all please let me point out that I have very little knowledge about all this, I'm just a fan of physics.

But the thing I don't understand about all this is that if the many-worlds interpretation accepts quantum immortality then wouldn't that collide with the second law of thermodynamics?
This whole process sucks, but I'm not betting against Apple. I believe that the best AI integration happens at the OS level, and Apple has all the components to do it, they need to find a path to execute. No chance I'm going to let an external LLM have access to certain parts of my data/OS.

I agree someone has to pay - but as I said, it should be in proportion to who is causing the cost.

In places where it is totally flat, or even close to flat, cool, charge everyone (EV, non-EV).
In places where it is not, charge everyone differently.
I haven't tested this yet but kepub imbeds progress data, which means this can probably be synced with Calibre. This is very nice for those of us which keep a larger library and change readers over time. Prior to this, we had to use a very janky workaround to sync this data. Most of us just didn't bother, so when moving books around, the progress data would reset.
So kind of a chief test officer? We need more CEOs to have that kind of responsibility.

If you have a government that runs a balanced budget, those services aren't free.

> Would it "increase prices" if healthcare was free?

That depends, who's ultimately footing the bill? If its paid for with taxes on businesses, yes most of that would be passed on to consumers in the form of price increases. If its paid for by consumer taxes, ultimately you will find consumers demanding higher wages and prices would again go up. If its paid for with tariffs, well we'll fins out soon but prices should go up there as well.
Yeah I see no benefit here. The benefit they're referring to is pointing to a separate library location, but that can be done using the normal app.
Agreed.

But wouldn't it be nice to have a choice?
No. Cradle to grave is a common term in life cycle analysis for products.

Windows Vista happened and Microsoft still exists. And many other products from huge companies failed hard. I think these things are quite common for large companies. The fact that it's Apple just makes it more interesting.

> Imagine having a Linux terminal right in your pocket, available on your Android device.

I don't have to imagine, I've been able to do that for many years thanks to Termux, and many many years prior to that, thanks to root and chroot.

> containerized Linux environment

It's virtalised, not containerised. Containerised implies that you're running on top of the same base Linux kernel and providing isolation using features like namespaces and cgroups, which this isn't. This is basically a full-fledged Linux distro, which uses it's own kernel, running via a hypervisor (pKVM).

All the example use cases listed in the article can already be done via Termux, or even other apps (eg Terminus is great for SSH, and Servers Ultimate has a collection of server apps which is easy to configure and run).

So, at least as per what the author has written so far, there's no compelling reason to use this new Android 15 feature over other, well-established alternatives.

Feature requests:

- Origin country listed for all tools, especially closed source.

- Information whether a tool can work offline and with a local model or does it rely on an external server.
I assumed you were doing offline support yeah. I've heard a lot about local first development lately, so I guessed this what what you guys are tackling too.

Without offline support AND you're doing real time updating of data, then conflict resolution is not a real world practical concern. Users will be looking at the same data at the same time anyways, so they generally see what data won out in case of a conflict, as they are looking at real time data as they are editing.

IF you had offline support, and for other sync engines that do: There is a real and meaningful difference between a backend dev and an end user of the application choosing what to do in case of a conflict. A backend dev cannot make a general case algorithm that knows that two end users want to keep or throw away in a conflict, because this is completely situational - users could be doing whatever. And if you push the conflict resolution to the end users, then you are asking a lot of those users. They need to be technically inclined and motivated people in order to take the time to understand and resolve the conflict. Like with git users.
Incorrect. It was worded as "the last era of humanity doing X". It parses as "the last era of {humanity doing X}" and not "{the last era of humanity} doing X" (which isn't something that makes sense anyway).

109 murder in over 30 years is not "regularly" either, more people die from falling of stairs in a single year.

Meanwhile there where over 750 group rapes/attempts in 2023 alone of which 50% of the perpetrators where foreigners. But I guess that one wouldn't count as "regularly" for you....

The effort to replace US tech is not anything similar to the European tech industry.

US technology has a hegemony because we were first to the party, our economy is larger, and our laws are hostile to newcomers (lack of interoperability requirements, lack of enforcement of anti-trust laws, strong defense of DMCA laws, non-competes, and trade secret laws).

I've worked in the EU tech sector. They have tons of startups that operate just like US startups: VC funded, hockey-stick growth, and hiring like crazy. Their stricter labor laws don't get in the way of that.

The hyper-growth, VC-funded startup model is itself quite exploitative, but if it's still possible with stricter labor laws, then fears about them impacting growth are unfounded.
The most consequential one for slowing adoption was 128-bit addresses, because they are long and thus hard to remember or type. A 16-bit 4-tuple would be workable.

Also the post leaves something out that I think is equally bad: that hideous user hostile :-separated ASCII form. Just fixing this could really help adoption. What were they thinking? Using a character that requires a shift? And conflicts with the URL format?

“Use DNS” is the usual answer, and is a quick way to tell someone has never done IT or networking in the real world. DNS is a fragile inflexible protocol that requires standing up servers. It works for what it does but it does not eliminate the need for engineers to schlep IPs around.
Calling Win32 directly was already old fashion when Windows 95 came out in 1994, let alone 2005 when .NET was four years old.

The only folks already doing Win16 development with pure C code, instead of a C++ framework (OWL, MFC, VCL), VB or Delphi, were stuck in jurassic park.

The only valid reason for raw Win32 applications are games.
It's relevant because someone implied that Amazon is not almost completely useless. I find it almost completely useless.

I think that what you are missing is that "what must I do to make L10" and "what is valuable to the company" are typically somewhat orthogonal. A prototypical example is that almost every career ladder out there mentions things like "impact" and architect/systems design work rather than often more valuable maintenance work that keeps current systems running. In addition, measuring the contribution of any individual to a team effort is always difficult, in some cases pretty much impossible until years later. This means that it is always possible to game such career frameworks by focusing only on the things the framework rewards and skipping everything else.

In short, encouraging people to get to the next career level in a well-defined framework is exactly the type of "situation where people are rewarded for being bolshy and savvy rather than being valuable to the company" that you mention as being undesirable.
> treat RDBMS as an application framework and have application itself be a thin UI layer on top?

Stored procedures have been a thing. I've seen countless apps that had a thin VB UI and a MSSQL backend where most of the logic is implemented. Or, y'know, Access. Or spreadsheets even!

And before that AS/400&al.

But ORMs came in and the impedance mismatch is then too great. Splitting data wrangling across two completely differing points of views makes it extremely hard to reason about.
