I do not agree w/ this in relation to the Dark Crystal series. But I see parallels in the Star Wars series Andor. Many will skip it because 'it's star wars', but it's a great series in star wars costume. The three people I've pressed into watching it came away with very favorable reviews.

There are some kinda deep cut star wars references that non-fans will miss. Mon Mothma the political head of the rebellion is seen only sparingly in the original trilogy and in rogue one (scenes were shot for her in the prequels setting her up as politically aligned with Padme and Bail, but they were cut) is a main character here. Other characters like Saw Gererra only appear in the clone wars series and Rogue One (a film for which this series is a prequel). However this didn't seem to effect my friends much only one of whom had even seen rogue one and the prequels, the other two only having seen the original series.

I'm so glad that it got a second season and am very excited to see it play out.
Cool!

The limitations in the blog post apply for Garmin just as much as Pebble.
As a previous PTS2 backer, I knew I couldn't hesitate. I had to pre-order both watches at once.

But whenever July (and December) comes, I'm very much going to dread the import duty on these things.
No, I made a specific argument that the people of Afghanistan defeated the US military.

This absolutely did happen and their long fought victory has saddled the US with an tremendous monetary debt and social debt in the form of a fractured American society the consequences of which are an increasingly authoritarian America that is brutishly lashing out at their allies in that conflict.

America's loss in that conflict has cost America far more than we can imagine right now and the cost is only increasing by the day.
Georgism is orthogonal to cryptocurrency.

Like how is cryptocurrency even related to consolidating all taxes into one on the unimproved value of land, this seems like such a nonsequitur.

1) Yes, the hardest part of building a watch is getting a display. There is only 1 vendor and we have to use what they make. Custom displays cost $1m+ and take 18 months to build.

2) It's not a running watch. I'd recommend getting garmin if you're looking for that.
This is great. Thanks for this.

The only thing I'm missing is the automatic dark mode (respecting operating system's dark/light theme). If you want I could add that in a pull request.
I'm not sure why you are reading the docs sideways but just in case - C# has method overloading. Process API, while dated, simply offers multiple overloads suitable for different scenarios.

Launching a new process can be as easy as `Process.Start(path, args)`.

Although if you are doing this, I can recommend using CliWrap package instead which provides nicer UX. Anything is possible the second you stop looking for a strawman.

> you find out that .net is not included by any linux distribution

Would I? If it's a CLI or a GUI application, I'd distribute it as either a native binary or as the recipe the user will be easily able to build with the .NET SDK (which is a standard approach - you'd need Rustc and Cargo in the same way).

Lastly - no one wants to put up with the maintainers with such attitude and you know well enough that "not included in any linux distribution" is both provably false and a non-factor - in all the distributions that matter it is `sudo {package manager} install dotnet9` away :)
Is it actually open source though? The repository description may be outdated then, but it currently says this:

> This is the latest version of the internal repository from Pebble Technology providing the software to run on Pebble watches. Proprietary source code has been removed from this repository and it will not compile as-is. This is for information only.
My Fitbit died recently. Have been living without watch now and coping. I was thinking maybe they will do some test patches before going official, so I could jump on board already, but now I got stable release and just need to wait. Near perfect timing. Probably will go with Core Time 2.

Names are weird though, who cares :D
tbh, i wanted to see if this kind of app is needed in the first place so I made it free for now, if people will find a value in it, then I might put some minimal price
I think the extrapolation is that the "back and forth" process is what is being improved quickly now. The trade-off is that you don't get a function back but you define a project and AI, with a focused model, will understand and handle all the back and forth until the project works and meets the specifications reasonably well. So it really is looking like a vibe coding future.

I think where things get interesting is that obviously lots of businesses and products won't be built this way, but there will be a lot of reasons to shave off sections of a core business to be "vibe-able". So a new level of rapid MVP will be possible where you can spin up completely functional apps multiple times a day, maybe even dynamically generate them. Which leads to more modular app integrations as a default.
I'm not at Google, but the usual thinking is that the public product fixed a lot of the design warts of the internal one, but it's only 90% feature compatible, and the internal migration has an opportunity cost that's higher than the cost of maintaining two similar products.
I am annoyed at the name, core 2 duo. Could have changed it to core 2 duos, just so it doesn’t confuse people who search for it.

“EU privacy rights” is bold framing considering what’s been going on with Apple:
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/02/uks-demands-apple-brea...

Honestly the whole article except the “Wrapping up” section can be skipped and you’ll still end up with mostly the same technical takeaways.
I find it hard to believe (or maybe I don’t want to believe) that this could ever happen? Even if Wiz has T&C’s that allow full access to clients’ data, and even if the T&C allow some sort of “use” of that data that includes training an LLM, surely you can’t release an AI trained on private information to the public? You can’t have Gemini spitting out internal/private/confidential information?

Am I just naive?
Yes, thinking about it, just wanted to see if ppl would be interested in the first place
Aww really glad to hear it!

> Generalist scaling is stalling. This was the whole message behind the release of GPT-4.5: capacities are growing linearly while compute costs are on a geometric curve. Even with all the efficiency gains in training and infrastructure of the past two years, OpenAI can't deploy this giant model with a remotely affordable pricing.

Hard disagree.
1. "Capacities are growing linearly while compute costs are on a geometric curve" is the very definition of scaling. GPT4.5 continuing this trend is the opposite of stalling: it's the proof that scaling continues to work
2. "OpenAI can't deploy this giant model with a remotely affordable pricing"
WTF? Gpt-4.5 has the same price per token than GPT-4 at release. It seems high compared to other models, but is still dirt cheap compared to human labor. And this model's increased quality means it is the only viable option for some tasks. I have needed proofreading for my book: o1 or o3-mini were not up to the task, but gpt-4.5 really helps. GPT-4.5 is also a leap forward on agentic capabilities. So of course I'll pay for this, it saves me hours by enabling new use-cases

Some of the things in this article contribute to the very same polarization they complain about.

We will not get more or better jobs by closing our gates to immigrants.

Maybe there are some people who actually advocate shutting down all immigration. But discourse surrounding immigration over several decades has centered on the amount of immigration and how the immigration happens. Legal vs illegal. The various types of visas and which are good and not so good and which types should be increased or decreased.

But these people take this stuff and paint it as if their opponents (who would be Republicans in this case for these 2 people) want to end all immigration.

These types of arguments increase polarization. When you paint your opponents as the most extreme version of the opposite of your position.
> I do not believe Wiz uncovers new vulnerabilities

Oh they do. https://www.wiz.io/blog/tag/research

A few fun ones are the multiple cross-tenant security exploits they found in Azure (which is why, among the tons of other reasons, Azure is just the worst possible choice for a cloud vendor from the big 3 - their security is a joke, and none of the vulnerabilities below should have passed even a cursory security review, but they did, which means the whole org doesn't take security seriously. Add in the fact that it's slow as hell, and has the UX worthy of an Enterprise vendor, the only reason to choose it is because you're getting a good deal on the golf course for it):

> I'm just saying these issues aren't new.

I'm saying they are new, because the technology is different - like saying 'transportation isn't new' when comparing horses and airplanes. The technology is inseparable from the issue.

> One of the reasons the us had limited domestic intel services back in the day is that they were scared of this sort of thing.

Do you have evidence of that? Many people are scared of it now, and that does limit it to some degree, but not a lot.

> As an example the surveilence practised by soviets or east germany was much more invasive despite not having phones.

They were enabled by technology far more advanced than the colonial era. They did have phones and they tapped them, tapped rooms, etc., and used communication tech to centralize and disseminate the information, as well as using mass communication to implement propaganda.

The Synchrony Budget
Obviously this is going to be up for debate, but in your comment you acknowledge that "go build one for Android" is an option. This is an indication that your complaint is not in Apple's behavior, but your regret that the competition sucks and it's not Apple's fault. Apple is not a market on their own from the perspective of smart phones and watches, every person making a purchasing decision has options (This is different from an app developer's perspective. See the last line for the explanation of why that's different).

It's not like Apple started off letting third party watches work well and then suddenly locked them out (but you could argue from the article that they started off with minor handicaps and have increased the level of handicap over the years). Most people choose to buy iPhones knowing that only certain watch options work. It's not like anyone is suing Ford or Dodge for only making accessories that work on their own cars and trucks. It's not like anyone can legitimately complain that Ford is anticompetitive because they aren't making themselves compatible with Dodge oil filters.

If Apple did something anticompetitive to keep Android options from being good, then you probably have a winnable legal case. But it seems like Google, Samsung, and the other Android players are losing on their own merits.

Apple is its own market from the perspective of app developers. The app developers can only get to iPhone users through the Apple App Store, so restricting access and charging high fees is anti-trust.
This is an incredibly stupid take on the deal.

I don't know if it's true but I do know for sure America has killed at least 100x more civilians than Israel has in wars that were in no way needed or existential (Vietnam, Iraq x2) and yet no one on his right mind would demonize ordinary Americans and imply they are all bloodthirsty Nazis to be persecuted everywhere they step on earth.
When I try to play something on youtube that has the DRM bit turned on (or anything on netflix), my whole entire screen turns off. Not only can I not see the content, I also can't use half of my screen for other purposes while I play the content on the other half.

Meta: Posted by a 6 day old account that has made 18 submissions, only 1 of which is technology related, the other 17 are all political/social/economic propaganda stories.

I've been seeing this pattern a lot recently; 1-2 week old accounts that join and just immediately start submitting 2-3 political stories every single day, and they also never write a single comment.
The paper offers a counterpoint to a published work (Zhang et al., 2021) which together with their earlier unpublished Arxiv version from 2016 has over 7000 citations. If you disagree with this rebuttal, by all means formulate what you find lacking.

> The fact that other people publish crap is irrelevant

You argued that this work is not something that can be seriously be considered to be submitted for publication and cannot be counted as a preprint. It has been pointed out that many works do get submitted to academic venues that aren't up to this quality. You're shifting goalposts.

You are making dismissive remarks without having to state your own view. Do you think Zhang et al's view is correct and deep learning shows novel effects that existing tools can't describe? Do you think the current manuscript does not effectively address those points? You have to argue if you think you have arguments. Labeling something a manifesto or a hot take is just low effort jab. Why do you think that the paper has no chance of acceptance? You are rehashing the same non-argument in different words.

A useful comment would state something like: the authors still do not explain effect X and Y that appears only in deep learning and not in classic ML. Or: the authors' point regarding effect X is incorrect and does not actually show what they claim to show. Etc. Simply saying "it's unserious" can be just turned back at your comment the same way.
Oh, wow, I’ve been loving Common Side Effects. Didn’t realize it was the same people.

Common Side Effects has great characters IMO, it really captures this tension where the alternative to selling out is to accomplish nothing, maybe.
I liked the old feature of the alarm clock vibrating when the wearer was in the good phase of sleep to wake up in, please make sure the new watches also have that.

I preordered.

Would have been nice to see a model without a microphone. I understand I'm a minoritiy (workplace doesn't allow devices with mics), but being severely hamstrung with smartwatch choices that don't have a microphone is tough.

simple script kiddie attacks that stopped working in the mid 2000's will suddenly work again for awhile until the Gen AI's "learn" how to write secure code.

> Many interpreted languages use an intermediate representation and/or JIT compilation internally, like for example Python with its .pyc files.

Yes, but Python, Ruby, Lua, etc. are also all dynamically typed, which places them in level 4.

> And Java as a level-2 language only compiles to bytecode (class files) which by default is then interpreted, and typically only JIT-compiled for “hot” code.

Yes, but Java is generally only run in the JVM and is not often compiled ahead-of-time to a static executable. There are AOT compilers for Java, but the performance isn't great. Java was designed to run in a VM. Classloaders, static initializers, reflection, every-method-is-virtual all make it quite difficult to compile Java to a static executable and get decent performance.

Dart was designed to be a decent AOT target.

Trump's SOTU for reference:

> Your CHIPS Act is a horrible, horrible thing. We give hundreds of billions of dollars and it doesn’t mean a thing. They take our money and they don’t spend it. All that meant to them. We’re giving them no money. All that was important to them was they didn’t want to pay the tariffs. So they came and they’re building. And many other companies are coming. We don’t have to give them money, we just want to protect our businesses and our people, and they will come because they won’t have to pay tariffs if they build in America. So it’s very amazing. You should get rid of the CHIPS Act and whatever’s left over, Mr. Speaker, you should use it to reduce debt or any other reason you want to.

A former mentor gave me some valuable advice once about this that didn't make sense til years later. Basically, I got a computer science degree while working full time minimum wage - in a very competitive program and high cost of living area. It was extraordinarily hard, orders of magnitude harder than anything else I've ever done, just trying to survive and not starve and somehow find the time to do well in my studies.

He said something like "if you keep burning the candle at 110% like you have been for long, you'll find that you often can find something deep within you to keep going, but eventually, this can run dry, and it doesn't really regenerate. It takes something from you that you aren't going to get back."

I don't mean minor stuff like, "oh I'm really tired today and I don't want to go to school." I'm talking like, very difficult coursework + stressful job + major life calamities and personal loss all compiling at the same time in a way that you just want to crawl into a pit and die, yet, you keep going - that kind of willpower/stamina whatever you want to call it.

He was right. I think he was alluding somewhat to burnout, which I think is related but somehow different - I am not the same person I was before that endeavor, and don't feel I really ever "healed" from it. It's very difficult to describe. feels a little like anhedonia, like a part of me has been missing since then. When I get in similar circumstances now, I find it harder to summon whatever it was inside of me that "kept going."

I expect I'm still healing because I'm only ~10 years removed from this, but, sometimes I'm not sure.

people from more urbanized cultures aren't usually as acclimatized to dealing with animals and don't recognize it as a competence or skill. everyone can learn, but chances are if you have been in a city for generations, it's not as normal. if you didn't learn, and see them mainly as symbols and objects instead of beings, you're going to be a crappy dog owner who ends up in a study like this.

living with animals as pets, especially indoors, and barring some of the asian horse cultures, is pretty western-coded.

Probably not if you care about accuracy. Really good sleep tracking requires more sensors than these devices have.
I don't think this is true. Apple could drop smart watch support entirely and I still wouldn't use an Android phone. I personally find the user experience infinitely better on iOS than on Android, and Apple would have to drop the ball very bad to get me to switch.

(Note: This isn't because Apple is without faults. iOS and macOS are both a mess right now, and iPadOS is even worse. I just think that Android is worse than that, and I know many, many Apple users are in the same boat)
