If you are using a first order approximation, then yes, this is the correct strategy. But when you consider the elements of time or consider that there are other players in the field (incorporating either will do, both is better), then this strategy becomes far from optimal. In fact, it will lead you down the wrong direction, making your own life harder. The thing is, bullshit compounds. Builds up slowly, but we all know that's how you boil a frog.

Your explanation is reason enough to cancel. I have experienced enough hardware fails the day after the warranty to avoid purchasing anything that I do not consider disposable. I still have my Vector watch which suffered the same fate as Pebble. I am curious about the risk of a "at cost" replacement. I have avoided buying a FitBit to replace my existing FitBit because their warranty is also limited to "one year" which is basically Wearable as a Service.

> I drive Lyft/Uber full-time

Stop driving Lyft/Uber. It's for those who don't have any skills beyond driving a car.

Sit down and determine what are the skills that you currently possess that are the most valuable on the market right now. Then sell those to the highest bidder.

My two cents, that isn't a job.

> I know I can earn 3-4x more doing freelance tech, but I can’t do that from a car.

Yes, you can. That's a limiting belief; it's just holding you back. All you need is a laptop. Need to make a meeting? Go to a local cafe. Nobody will even notice. More importantly, if you're doing remote contract work, perfectly acceptable to ask a percentage of the total upfront. That will go a long way to get you out of a car and into an apartment quickly.

> What would YOU do in my situation to break the cycle?

1. Stop driving Uber, stop renting motels, stop paying any bills, bring my costs down to near zero.

2. Start taking on as much contract work doing "freelance tech" that I can find, with as much paid upfront as possible.

3. Once I have 10k in the bank, rent an apartment and start cleaning up whatever mess is left.

4. Start making quality of life decisions. Maybe you don't want contract, but want a job? Maybe a nicer laptop? Closer to your kids? Live your life.

#1 is the hardest, because you're risking everything on your ability to deliver. You have to believe in yourself.
My understanding is they are plenty pipelined, though the GPU is working on a more predictable workload so the order is more likely to be rewritten by the compiler than by the silicon -- that is, the CPU tries as hard as it can to maximize single threaded performance for branchy workload and "wastes" transistors and power on that, the GPU expects branches and memory access to be more predictable and spends the transistors and power it saves to add more cores.
Yeah the flexible shafts were terrible. I'd get highly variable movement even when making movements in only one direction (IE, home to Y 0, then only move positive ). They were so bad I tried to find ways to mount the steppers directly on each axis, which means the Y stepper is hanging out in air putting a lot of weight directly on the Y stage.

Instead, i switched to cloning stages like this: https://www.asiimaging.com/products/stages/xy-inverted-stage... but I used off-the-shelf (well, amazon) linear rails, off-the-shelf (stepperonline) steppers, and 3d printed (or machined aluminum) frames. Works much better.

You have to figure out when do to that 110% or more.

Not only for whether it's ever worthwhile in your role and how you benefit, but also for pacing.

For example, if you're a startup cofounder, in a good team, and you win big if the startup wins big, then you might put in that 110% frequently -- but you save your superhuman 200% bursts for emergencies, so that you can reliably put in close to 100% every day, not start making fatigued huge mess-ups.

For another example, if you're a series B startup hire, being paid below-market, with 0.01% stock options that will never be worth exercising, and the founding team turns out to be bad at everything except raising ZIRP money and beer-pong-- then you should still do right by your good teammates, and also be professional in general, but don't spend years burning yourself out at 110% while watching the dysfunctional company just urinate away everyone's contributions. Spend that extra 10% energy of yours in searching for a better situation.

As potent and productive as the combined perspective sketched out by the author might be, it makes me wonder whether this might also point to the root of certain problems with research publishing in machine learning / artificial intelligence.

Ahh, maybe I’m mistaken or maybe iOS works differently. I believe you can enroll it in MDM and then you have 30 or 60 days to kick it out at any time and then it becomes fully locked in. Or perhaps I have my terminology wrong. I only scratch the surface of MDM at my company.
So that you can run an AI company, churn out enough material to flood a particular market, and leverage copyright protection to cash in. Like say you call it the Kittenator, and then do automated keyword search for anything involving kittens - kitten in a box, kitten wearing socks, kittens on the rocks, kitten versus fox - and generate 25 different images for any given keyword combination, and push them out to major image-sharing platforms. The stock imagery market is pretty large but if you have the copyright enforcement in your pocket you can go after it in chunks.

That's non-obvious to me. Even if the prompt is extremely long and precise, if it is somehow purely functional, it seems possible for it to not be (although in practice, I agree that most prompts could be).

I also find Bluesky's underlying tech interesting. The more i looked into Mastodon the less interesting it felt. I especially didn't like that as a small Mastodon instance i'd struggle to get my updates fed into the larger instances and struggle to get updates as quickly. Instances prioritized updates to/from larger instances.

This was all quite early though and i'm sure i misunderstood things. Just answering the question as i personally perceived Mastodon.

On the non-tech side, i find Bluesky's model for moderation to be really neat. I hope it continues to expand in features/implementations.

Not any anticompetitive practice, just the ones that allow in competitors who have different security models for human/computer interaction.

Who? TFA:

"Comcast; Anheuser-Busch, the company behind Budweiser and Beck’s beer; wine company La Crema; and Diageo, the beverage company that produces Guinness, Smirnoff and other alcoholic drink brands"

That's not what I expected. I expected it to be a bunch of banks and tech firms. The explanation for that would have been easy. (Meta did already skip out, presumably for the obvious reasons. I'd be willing to bet Comcast is the same.)

For the liquor companies, I don't buy that it's a lack of funds, but an alternative explanation doesn't leap to mind.

How many vectors is that? If under 100K then keep it all in memory. Hell probably in the low millions would be OK. You can literally write them to a flat file and load into memory and do a full scan for every lookup and it will be fast enough. If not then use faiss with hnsw indexing and it will be screaming fast.
If they did a hot hatch version I'd consider breaking my vow to never have a new car or payment again.

This is a false dichotomy. You can build a system that is secure by default but allows you to opt out with sufficient technical knowledge.
Methanol is indeed quite toxic but it is not the only denaturant. There are many others [0]. When methanol is used as a denaturant, special labeling is required [1]. Most of the denatured ethyl alcohol I've seen in pharmacies in recent years has not contained methanol but merely bittering agents, because methanol is so dangerous.

Graphite is incredible and has absolutely improved my team’s velocity. Highly recommend!
There's a big difference: it's 2025 and there are no shortage of competitors that look better and have more features than a $150 Pebble 2 or $225 Time 2. Unlike 2015 the market already has a $200 Apple Watch, $60 Amazfit Bip, $55 CMF Watch Pro, and a $220 Coros Pace which will track an ultramarathon. All these devices are made by mature companies and have multiple revisions.

I liked my Pebbles, but I won't spend $300 on one because the chance of failure (again) is so great.
It’s not API. That’s the whole complaint of the post. Just because it’s implemented internally does not mean it’s ready for framework support. Have you ever built an API before?

I'm unsure how this got flipped turned upside-down, but this was Mom asserting boundaries to Dad's work-life balance.

The central controversy of on-call duty is that it leaves the household and family short-staffed, contributing to burnout and "workaholism". We were accustomed to Dad being at work M-F, 9-5, and being available and supporting us at all other times.

While a boiler explosion is certainly exceptional circumstances, it can be the "camel's nose in the tent" and eventually, Dad is potentially driving up there every Saturday night that a lab worker spilled 1 gram of mercury. Then he's not eating dinner with us, resting, mowing the lawn, helping Mom to shop or do errands.

I'm trying to recall any times Dad responded to a family emergency by leaving work, but it was nearly never necessary, since preparedness and response plans defined his career.

This is clearly a case where we need new legislation. The US Copyright Act needed to be amended to cover photography. Prior to that photos were not copyrightable. It seems like we are on the same trajectory now.

The real problem is that Congress is institutionally incapable of making simple amendments to law. Everything gets delegated to agency rule making regardless of whether anyone likes the outcome.

We’re rapidly approaching the point where having a smartphone is becoming a necessity for being a functional part of the society. You could argue that is some countries we’re already past that point. A device of this social importance that’s also locked into one of the two American megacorps absolutely needs as much scrutiny as possible, since the interests of those megacorps are not aligned with the interests of the society.

To give one example, Apple has removed an option for Airdrop file sharing between iPhones that are not on one another’s contact lists after the pressure from the Chinese government to stop it from being used for protests coordination. And yet this change was silently rolled out globally as a part of an iOS update.

So, no, “Good enough for most people” is not actually good enough.

> It is capital intensive, so that is a hurdle, but capital isn't that hard to come by if you are doing something compelling. It was downright easy a few years ago.

Part of the issue is that it isn't just capital intensive, it's capital intensive across a vertically integrated market. If all you had to do was make a phone chip competitive with Apple's, or reimplement the proprietary Google APIs, or convince other phone OEMs and third party developers to use your competing app store, you might be able to pull it off. But when you have to do all of those things and more? At some point the hill is just a sheer cliff.

> Regulation is the biggest problem. It is straight up illegal to become a direct competitor in the computing space.

Oh, that's definitely a major issue. In theory DMCA 1201 has an interoperability exception, but the exception is narrower than it ought to be and then you would have to be willing to stand up for it in court against a megacorp with unlimited lawyers. There is no sensible argument for not fixing things like that.

Would be nice to see improvements there, but since it's from a laptop vendor, I don't have high expectations.
I'm super excited to hear this announcement!

For those of us interested in health metrics - can we expect the precision of the heart rate sensor to be sufficient for calculating HRV (heart rate variability)? It doesn't have to be natively supported, but I'd love to see a third party app offer this some day... In fact I may work on it myself, provided the data from HR sensor is good enough.
I like Apple. But this is exactly why regulation is needed. I often meet people (including knowledgeable engineers etc) who think companies will do the best thing. Just like Flint did the best thing by poisoning their own people. Apple is a for profit company, and it will debilitate any 3rd party device. That is because by killing its market, profit is to be made by buying it for cheap. It's that simple folks. The end user can go and screw themselves, as far as they are concerned.
Unlike Microsoft of the 90s, there are alternative mobile operating systems that are actually competing with iOS and Apple, so the argument isn't the same. In fact, people point out that iOS doesn't have majority share when you look at global usage, and only has a small majority when you look at the US. Microsoft's next nearest OS competitor didn't make a browser, and a lot more than half of computer users were using Windows.
