Prior to that they had an 'economic miracle' from WW2 till then which is probably more what people refer to. The lost decades are quite easy to understand with conventional economics - they had a property and stock bubble which got everyone left with huge debts when it collapsed.

You access your Apple TV+ subscription via the TV App lol.
I edited it to make it a little more clear, but I can see the confusion.

Apple sells media that others produce, but they also sell subscription only access to media that they themselves produce.

So movies and tv shows that you “buy” (really, rent for as long as Apple allows you to access it) can be accessed via the TV app. Basically, the stuff where Comcast or Disney or Sony or Warner Bros gets paid 70% and Apple gets a 30% commission.

But for things Apple directly produces (or buys and then re-sells), they require customers to pay an ongoing fee for Apple TV+.

Also, LeoPanthera is right that the TV app can also be your library for your own files that you import, and then you can synchronize that to your phone or iPad’s tv app.
Do they just not let marketing into the important meetings? Naming isn’t a solved problem but marketers are usually pretty good at knowing when to avoid confusing situations like these.
Dozens? Don't you mean, probably hundreds of trillions in the observable universe? Not that the number of planets really implies anything when we don't know the probability of life arising on one of them.
Wild speculation: video game engines. You want your model to understand what a car looks like from all angles, but it’s expensive to get photos of real cars from all angles, so instead you render a car model in UE5, generating hundreds of pictures of it, from many different angles, in many different colors and styles.
Oh I agree 100%. Open AI roll outs leave much to be desired. Sometimes there isn't even a clear difference like there is for this.
Entirely possible. Which is why Government services for 'chat' explicitly don't allow contacts to appear who aren't already in the government. You've also no doubt seen email as it appears in Government inboxes with the big red banner "Came from outside, don't trust this" kinds of things will all the links disabled.

Two things that are really troublesome. The first, as Josh Marshall of TPM points out, "No one on that chat asked 'Why are we doing this on Signal?'" which suggests that it isn't the first time Signal was used for 'off books' stuff and that perhaps there are many such conversations. The second is that the conversation was set up while one of the participants was in the Kremlin waiting to talk to Putin. So either 'Kremlin Free WiFi' or the local cell tower providing connectivity?

Most pundits feel like this administration is trying to keep things out of FOIA and discoverability reach which has its own problems.

So yes, tools for Government communications don't have this problem, hell even Microsoft Teams on their US cloud get better protection than this.
Fear of loss of motivation and focus (RIP uBlock Origin)
In the relentless storm of digital chaos, where vibrant ads scream for attention, Alex found himself drowning. Each flashing banner, each pop of color, pulled him further from his work, his passions, his peace. The internet, once a sanctuary of knowledge and connection, had become an overwhelming cacophony, leaving him anxious and fragmented.

Then, amidst the turmoil, Alex discovered GrayscaleAdz. With a simple click, the riot of colors softened into soothing shades of gray. The once-dominant ads now whispered in the background, allowing the content he sought to shine through. A profound calm washed over him, as if a weight had been lifted. His focus sharpened, his productivity soared, and for the first time in a long while, he felt in control.

GrayscaleAdz didn't just transform his browser; it transformed his life. It returned to him the serenity of a world untainted by relentless distractions, rekindling his love for the digital realm. In the grayscale simplicity, Alex rediscovered clarity, purpose, and a deep, abiding peace.
Of course. But the problem is that the more complicated you make your filtering logic, the harder it becomes to maintain. I was constantly discovering new exceptions to my ever-more-complicated rules, which is why I eventually gave up on that whole approach.
>If human procreation is immoral simply because it creates suffering for "sentient" beings, then it's this particular line of ethics that needs to go extinct

You're not accurately describing the argument the linked article is making, but even so, is the argument you're making that creating suffering for sentient beings is not morally wrong?

>"The rules we invented for ourselves say that we shouldn't continue existing" seems like a mindset that natural selection will handle by itself though.

This is completely orthogonal to whether the argument is correct. Natural selection isn't moral; it just is.

This is most definitely a viewpoint on life.

I've also worked with people with an entirely different viewpoint and I highly respected them and don't think they lived any less of a life, in fact they are greatly missed and leave behind a legacy.

The architype of those people, "I'm not slowing down, while I can still do my work I'll go on until they take me out of here feet first. That's why you guys are around me, I expect you to call me out when you see me slipping." And they really did get carried out feet first. Their memorials were attend by thousands willingly and they are still respected and an inspiration to those that worked with them.

Neither is wrong. Life isn't binary either. If someone is happy who are we to judge their life.
donald knuth introduced the "literal programming". This paradigm, having documentation and code in one, make the code readable like a book. Also, one needs to put more thoughts into code structure, making the code not only readable, but also "good layouted" with clear separations of documentation and the code.
For basic diagnostics that is enough, but if you want to do more data-intensive stuff (including software updates) you need something more.
I'm afraid I just don't get Gatsby. The characters are all unpleasant people; I don't want to spend any time with them. None of the situations resonate with me. Its prose is a great evocation of a time period, but it's a time period I don't much care about.

I felt the same way about Jane Austen for a long time. It was a parody of manners, for a period I knew nothing about. I finally saw some really great filmed versions and I understood what the author was saying, and now I adore reading her work.

Maybe Gatsby will click for me some day. I reread it every decade or so, just to see if it happened. It hasn't yet.

I remember hearing around 2004 that from watson/microsoft telemetry Outlook was the most ran app in the world by the hours being up. Certainly made sense because it was always on for everyone, including myself. The things one could do in Outlook with rules, highlights, actions, views, and (for a while at least) custom forms was absolutely limitless. I did a bunch of MAPI coding too which gave me a lot of appreciation for the underlying API. The regression to the "dumber" client (and lack of support for offline PST!) is not great.

I think Trump and his administration are patriots. Clearly to a fault at times, but everyone has faults. I do not step back and see America on a course to fascism with Trump at the helm. If we drown in debt we don’t have a nation. Full stop. Someone has to look at how we spend our money, ask fundamentally whether it serves the taxpayer’s interest, and make calls. Illegal aliens are expensive. Corruption is expensive. Unfair trade is expensive. Dependence on other nations for strategic manufacturing is expensive. Exporting labor is expensive.

I mean what actually is the outrage here? I do not see it. I see patriots trying to defend taxpayer interests. Taxpayers are the in group. That’s not racist or ethnic. It’s nationalist. Defending its citizens is what nations do. Since when is that equal to fascism?

> How much stock collateralized debt does he have?

As of 2023 Musk had 238,441,261 "shares pledged as collateral to secure certain personal indebtedness [1].

I have not seen any great reporting around what prices he borrowed at (and thus when his margin calls may come).

> Is any of it tied to SpaceX?

Not directly. My point is if Tesla goes bankrupt he has to sell something to make good on those loans. (After, presumably, a year of court fights.) If Tesla is under there will be litigation around an xAI disposal. So that basically leaves Twitter and SpaceX, and one of those is more marketable than the other.

Generating an image of a completely full glass of wine has been one of the popular limitations of image generators, the reason being neural networks struggling to generalise outside of their training data (there are almost no pictures on the internet of a glass "full" of wine). It seems they implemented some reasoning over images to overcome that.

Even that analogy understates things because as far as we know, the rest of the known universe is lifeless rock. Personally I'll admit to being a chauvinist who favors life over non-life. If we find native life somewhere else, I'm all for leaving it alone, but until then, bringing life to a lifeless universe seems like possibly the most meaningful thing we can do as a civilization.
I have temporarily disabled my HTTP server for now. (I set up port knocking for a day, but I got rid of it due to a kernel panic.)

My issue is not to prevent anyone from obtaining a copy if they want to do, and I want to ensure that users can use curl, Lynx, and other programs; I do not want to require JavaScripts, CSS, Firefox, Google, etc.

My problem is that these LLM scraping bots are badly behaved, making many requests and repeating them even though there is no good reason to do so, and potentially overloading the servers. These things are mentioned in the article. Some bots are not so badly behaved, and those are not the problem.
AFAIK this is because it's not really an email client. If your company uses an email server instead of hosted Office 365 email, setting up New Outlook with it will send your server's IMAP details and login information to Microsoft's cloud. Their cloud then acts as an IMAP/SMTP client, and every email you send/receive gets proxied through Microsoft's servers. I'm not sure why they decided to do things this way, but it means I'm never going to switch to New Outlook.

I agree, and outside of Fly.io the thing I work hardest on is advocating for more density here; we're slowly transforming into Winnetka (if you're not a Chicago person, Winnetka is the John Hughes suburb you have in your head when people say things like "suburbs are nothing like the city"). Thankfully, we have a board consensus that has us pointed in the general direction of eliminating single-family zoning, allowing as-of-right 3- and 4-flats everywhere in the Village.
The only way to use any Apple settings app now, IMHO is to search for what you want. Even if it's something you have visited countless times before it's faster than squinting at the long, long column of tiny icons. I miss the big friendly grid of icons so much.
> It was an intentional leak

I don't see how this would work. If you're the leaker, do you just add the journalist to the group yourself? How are you going to explain that? I think there are more anonymous ways to leak stuff than adding someone else to the group chat. Or does signal not show who added someone?
The example you give is about control - he wanted control over everyone else's inputs but trusted himself. Not a great look as a leader.
That's the point. With the old models they all failed to produce a wine glass that is completley to the brim full. Because you can't find that a lot in the data they used for training.
That touches on a long-running very complicated debate around quantum mechanics, hidden variables, spooky action at a distance, no-communication, etc.

For various quantum effects that seem to be paradoxes by classical physics what is happening "under the covers"? Does the delayed choice experiment really send information backwards in time? Even if it appears to do so if we can't at least send information back in time with that mechanism isn't it just sophist philosophy at that point?

For my part I'm not smart enough to claim to have answers to anything but my intuition is there are no quantum paradoxes. Delayed choice does not send anything back in time. We don't experience quantum phenomena at the macro scale so our intuition and reasoning are ill-suited to thinking about it. That easily leads us to incorrect conclusions.

I'd also argue that even if all else is equal, a flashy visualization is worse than a conventional one, as you generally do not want to draw attention to the presentation if your aim is to convey information.
I'm a little unsure I believe the scale of this. I certainly think there will be less accurate, less confident numbers. I don't believe this is going to be 30% class errors. I'm thinking China, India and most large economies have other reasons for knowing the population and while Paraguay and some African states may undercount, this isn't going to be as big at scale as they suggest.

I think this is going to take quite a few years to settle down. I'd like to see real demographers talk this one out. There are mechanistic ways to assess populations which are less obvious like registered birth and death rates checks across the interval and school registration checks, which were used to validate the claims about deaths in China during the Mao era, and significantly revised the initial claims down. Likewise the holomodor, and Robert Conquests claims about aggregate deaths in the USSR. Post hoc analysis of initial claims made massive reductions in the assertions.

So, a new technique like satellite mapping/image processing comes to the table with some population estimate models which drift from the current figures? OK, but that doesn't mean every worldwide economies counts are off, or that the model is right. It has to be a little more robustly tested.

Trump has already been president and already demonstrated to us that he will not leave power peacefully. He's openly discussing serving a third term. I think it's highly unlikely that the transfer of power will happen peacefully unless

1) he dies in office (of natural causes)

Or

2) the republicans win in 2028 and a different republican president is sworn in.

I don't think using Signal is the biggest problem in terms of security, though it's against the rules to use something not explicitly approved.

The bigger security problem is that it was being run on devices that evidently weren't limited to secure communication tasks (such devices wouldn't have a journalist in their contacts). That suggests at least some people were using personal phones, which seems like a terrible idea.
I’m a software engineer who went from an F-1 student visa to an EB-1A green card without an RFE or employer sponsor—approved in one go under Trump-era rules. In this Medium post, I break down the exact steps: judging hackathons, leveraging startup contributions (e.g., my food tech venture raised $6M), and nailing evidence like recommendation letters. No PhD, no fame—just consistent impact in AI/cloud tech. Curious how others tackled EB-1A or similar visas? What’s your take on self-petitioning vs. traditional routes?
Part of it is politics. Totally correct about everything in common, and yet in the multicultural fabric we call society, politics could be vastly different:

Neighbour 1 cares about Trump, neighbour 2 about Ukraine, neighbour 3 is focused on Palestine, neighbour 5 about public transit, while I might not care about any of those. All of them are going to seek like-minded people who are unlikely to be their next door neighbours. It wasn't like this in the past, where economic mobility was relatively limited.

Multiculturalism coupled with economic mobility means often neighbours and you don't really have much in common. As an example my next door neighbour: He's a major, I'm in the sciences. We travel in different circles. I have a dog, he doesn't like pets. We both have kids but they are of different ages, don't go to the same schools and basically don't know each other. We met a few times then realized that we have very little in common and stopped interacting. There's nothing binding us beyond a shared geography.
If i'm not wrong, Chatgpt states clearly that they don't use user data anymore by default.
