What would actually make the Apple Watch better?
For the past five quarters, Apple Watch sales have declined due to a lack of exciting updates and new models. So what does Apple need to do to get back on track?Victoria Song (The Verge)

The image depicts a serene pastoral scene with a brown cow grazing on a lush green hillside. The cow is positioned in the foreground, with its head lowered to the ground, indicating it is eating grass. The hillside is enclosed by a simple white electric fence, which is visible in the foreground. In the background, a majestic mountain range is partially obscured by clouds, with some peaks capped with snow, suggesting a high-altitude location. The sky is partly cloudy, with patches of blue visible, and the overall atmosphere is peaceful and idyllic. The landscape includes a small structure, possibly a barn or shed, nestled among the trees, adding to the rural charm of the scene.

Einfach ist mal gar nichts mit Linux.
Das war vor 20 Jahren so und ist es bis heute.
Einfach ist Windows, weil jede direkt Hardware läuft und falls nicht, jeder Hersteller Treiber bereitstellt die dann auch problemlos funktionieren.
Linux ist nach wie vor kein Desktop Betriebsystem.
Ja, inzwischen ist es akzeptabel und vieles geht heute, wo man früher bereits bei der Installation scheiterte.
Aber einfach ist es meistens nur, bis etwas nicht "out of the box" funktioniert.

Support for S. 2198, The Military in Law Enforcement Accountability Act
Dear Congressman,
I am writing to you to express my strong support of SB 2198 the Military in Law Enforcement Accountability Act. This bill aims to limit the use of the armed forces and federal law enforcement in civilian activities and establish a clear separation between the military and domestic policing. It will establish congressional oversight which will serve to be a check against unlawful use of the military against American citizens. And it will prohibit dual service which will reduce or eliminate conflict of interests among those who serve both in the military and in domestic law enforcement.
While not expressly mentioned in the Constitution there is historical precedent for keeping domestic policing and the military separate. One of the grievances that was listed in the Declaration of Independence was King George III’s use of military forces against the colonists. The Declaration states that the king had “He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.”. And the modern day use of the National Guard in domestic policing mirrors this historical injustice and is a violation of the foundational principles of our republic.
This bill is essential for ensuring that the military remains distinct from domestic law enforcement. We must uphold the principle that the military’s role is for national defense, and not the policing of its own citizens. This clear separation is crucial for protecting the constitutional rights of free assembly and protest. And this bill’s emphasis on democratic oversight will also help hold the executive branch accountable and prevent the unilateral deployment of armed forces against civilians.
I urge you to vote in favor of this bill. And I encourage you to actively champion this bill and speak out in support of its passage. This bill will help to protect American citizens from a major abuse of power from an executive branch that would try to use fear and intimidation to silence their voices.
Thank you for reading this letter, and I look forward to your response.

Today in Labor History September 5, 1936: Photographer Robert Capa captured the death of 24-year-old anarchist Federico "Taino" Borrell in the iconic photo The Falling Soldier. Borell was an antifascist fighter, killed during the Spanish Civil War. Capa is considered by many to be the greatest war photojournalist ever. He was the only civilian photographer who landed on Omaha Beach during D-Day. He co-founded Magnum Photos collective, which included David "Chim" Seymour, Maria Eisner, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger, William Vandivert, and Rita Vandivert. He died after stepping on a landmine in Vietnam in 1954

Pick 2 points P, Q, uniformly at random in the interior of a sphere.
The line containing P and Q intersects the surface of the sphere at 2 other points, A, B.
What is the probability that the angle ∠ACB, where C is the centre of the sphere, is greater than 120°?

- 37/64 (10%, 1 vote)
- 1/3 + (1/π)√(3/5) (50%, 5 votes)

#JustChecking #maths #probability
The correct answer is 37/64.
Congratulations to the voter who got it right!
Yes, an explanation it you have time please.
I think I was able to figure out the geometry of the portion of the sphere that would contain valid A and B points. But got stuck yesterday figuring out valid P and Q to match.
@gregeganSF
The short answer is that the CDF for the angle between A and B, call it γ, is:
CDF(γ) = (1/8)(1 - cos γ)^3
So the result is:
CDF(π) - CDF(2π/3) = 1 - 27/64 = 37/64
I'm not sure what the nicest way is to prove the CDF. You can express the dot product between A and B in terms of the coordinates of P and Q, rotate P to lie on the +ve z-axis (while weighting the result with 4π z_P^2) and rotate Q to lie in the xz plane with +ve x (while weighting the result by 2π x_Q), so after dividing by the volumes of both unit balls you end up with the integral of:
(9/2) z_P^2 x_Q
over the range:
0 < z_P < 1
-1 < z_Q < 1
0 < x_Q < sqrt(1 - z_Q^2)
with a further inequality on the dot product between A and B:
2 x_Q^2 z_P^2 / (x_Q^2 + (z_P - z_Q)^2) - 1
This can be turned into another inequality on x_Q that only applies for part of the domain of z_P, and then it's a matter of splitting all the domains into individual pieces where one or the other applies, which can then be integrated analytically.

I'd already concluded that I was off track in my reasoning, especially after seeing @FenTiger 's reply.
My maths skills are out of practice but I loosely follow the proof. Not knowing how to fix P and Q was what I decided was wrong and hadn't figured out how to correct.
@bytebro
Here is an alternative proof for people who are comfortable with Jacobian matrices and determinants.
Though I did this in Mathematica and it involves a 6 x 6 determinant, there are a lot of zeroes in that matrix and it could probably be done with pen and paper without too much trouble.
The Mathematica code here defines a point on a sphere in standard polar coordinates θ, φ, defines two points A and B with their individual pairs of polar coordinates, then two points P and Q on the line segment between A and B, with parameters λ, μ for how far each of them is along the line segment.
We then compute the Jacobian matrix of partial derivatives for the pair (P,Q) with respect to the six parameters, set A and B to lie on the equator at θ=π/2, while A is at φ=0 and B is at φ = γ.
The determinant of the Jacobian matrix is:
(λ-μ)^2 (cos(γ)-1)^2
We find the probability density function for γ by integrating over λ and μ from 0 to 1, multiplying by 4π (for A moving over the whole sphere), 2π sin(γ) (for B rotating around A while staying at an angle of γ), 1/2 (to avoid double counting configurations where A and B are just swapped), and dividing by (4π/3)^2, for the total volumes P and Q are selected from.
The result is the probability density function:
PDF(γ) = (3/8) (cos(γ)-1)^2 sin(γ)
which corresponds to the cumulative distribution function:
CDF(γ) = (1/8) (1-cos(γ))^3
from which we obtain the result:
CDF(π) - CDF(2π/3) = 37/64

Das Bild zeigt eine ruhige Straße in einer Stadt, vermutlich in Deutschland, mit einer Fahrbahn für Radfahrer und einigen Parkplätzen für Autos. Auf der rechten Seite der Straße steht ein Straßenschild mit der Aufschrift "Hochschulstr." und ein weiteres Schild mit der Aufschrift "Straßen-schäden" und einer Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung von 30 km/h. Ein Radfahrer in einem weißen T-Shirt und dunklen Hosen fährt auf der rechten Fahrbahnseite entlang. Die Straße ist von Bäumen gesäumt, die im Herbst ihre Blätter verlieren, was auf den Herbst hinweist. Ein weiteres Fahrrad mit einem schwarzen Rucksack lehnt an einem Schildpfosten. Im Hintergrund sind mehrere Gebäude zu sehen, darunter ein Mehrgeschossgebäude. Die Szene wirkt ruhig und friedlich, mit einem gepflegten Grünflächenbereich auf der linken Seite.
