I make f.lux, models, and data to understand circadian and sleep behavior. Previously: Picasa co-Founder/CTO, Google, MetaCreations, CMU.

@EU_Commission @vestager What if all digital cameras had a background, high-speed, wireless way to interact with a phone - would have slowed the decline of standalone cameras dramatically over the last decade. Big difference between forced interoperability and "we want to make this amazing" though.

@partchlab @HHMINEWS Congrats Carrie!

@joshu @droqen @lorna Most people prefer the screen to match ambient lighting, so it could be more comfortable if that’s how your room looks.
OTOH, many good reasons to let lots of daylight in during the day as well.

@Jonathan_Blow Just do mW for the package already. Percent is nonsense with variable frequency.

@sreekotay I think the larger question is how much context you have to send up to do "interesting" things - million token context or "analyze my video" stuff that big models are good at. Or do they somehow persist all of this for you in the cloud?

[Michael Herf @herf]

@sreekotay The iMessage solution is to encrypt data for a list of endpoint devices, so it can't be MITM'd. But then, you have to trust the service that tells you the list of secure endpoints (and it could add an evil one someday).

@flyosity It's incredible, though I can't figure out why you need a sin() for a polynomial.

@MichaelSFuhrer @JPWeiland Depends if you are "S" or "R" in SEIR.

@dhh For SSD Apple gets 80-90% margin from commodity NAND... you can watch people with BGA soldering skills upgrade them for $50/TB:

@cmuratori I got the Gateron baby raccoons - despite the name, a huge improvement over stock.

[Michael Herf @herf]

@cmuratori @AzretDeljanin @Jonathan_Blow Also before that I used sandboxie for dangerous binaries - it seems to be open source now https://t.co/amav4tNimV

[Michael Herf @herf]

@cmuratori @AzretDeljanin @Jonathan_Blow Windows Centennial (first release of App Store) implemented a real sandbox. Several win APIs were blocked and registry was virtualized etc.

@dhh Apple-installed NAND chips are about 8x as expensive as when you put them in PCs.

@jdpereira Recent iPhones all have 240hz flicker too. Though not all eyestrain is flicker - minimizing glare can help too.

Regarding flicker: It’s mainly the older LED backlights that are free of it. There is a Reddit group if you think you may be affected: https://t.co/qlTrNsdEBo

@johnarnold Now do average new car payment. Cost of borrowing is the other inflation.

@JPWeiland A lot of the bounce is from the northeast which was the highest copies/mL

@heniek_htw @circadian247 1. We don't usually consider Noell damage in humans because it has only been shown in rats. This has been known since 1966.
2. "10 LEDs" should not be measured using irradiance (only large sources should), and standards have radiance limits for small sources instead...?

@NickCowern Do you know what the spectrum is? Total energy, visible radiation, some particular IR bands?
