> Apple announced Mantle(sic)

Announced, didn't release.

In the same presentation as you linked, on slide 9, you can see Apple was a part of the Vulkan effort. The subsequently withdrew from Vulkan, before releasing Metal.

It's not as straightforward a distinction as you imply, and certainly not grounds for attributing a lower value.

In Europe (Germany in particular), you have to do a 2-year Masters degree which tends to be ~1.3 years of coursework and ~0.7 years of research culminating in a thesis.

Judged by the quality of your thesis, you then try to get accepted into a group for a PhD which takes 3 years on average.

In the US you go straight to a 5-year PhD program and within that, the coursework-research duration split is similar to what you find in Europe.
That does look like it would be extremely difficult to remove.
Consider, though, that people who can't function outside would be more likely to use the web (because they have little else to do). So it's not necessarily representative.
I think that basic income should be temporary though. Like I'm having a hard time imagining a functioning society where a significant portion of the population is on basic income.
Karpathy has the benefit of being one of the best known bloggers/teachers in the most popular graduate-level course in possibly the most financially successful subfields ever while graduating at the peak of industry spending (so far). He's almost certainly the student described in http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/26/technology/the-race-is-on-... His experiences and successes are not generalizable.

But he's probably my favorite blogger too and its at the very least interesting to hear his take on his experiences.
This is important because there exists a trade-off in statistical learning models: in general, the more flexible your models are, the less understandable they become[0]. Modern machine learning techniques are typically very flexible.

To gain intuition and reasoning of a model is to have understanding and trust--transparency. When you strike a nail with a hammer, it's pretty predictable what might happen: the nail could get hit, the hammer could miss, or very rarely, the hammer's head may fly off of the handle. When you replace the hammer with a black box that works correctly 99.999% of the time, but for 0.001%, something completely unpredictable happens, then there's a problem with volatility because that unpredictable event may have unacceptable consequences. I think explainable AI could help with intuitive and more fine-grained risk analysis, and that's certainly a good thing in high-stakes applications such as defense.

Real men use PowerShell to edit their Excel files. :j

edit: I did do this once, but it didn't scale to larger files. Also, it was the only option on those Windows RT Surface tablets.
The multiverse part of the mathematical universe doesn't click with me, but the idea that the universe is mathematics, does.
Is it specifically the [, *, \, " symbols on the left that you're calling out, the presence of numbers on the right side, the presence of multiple periods on the right side, the lack of letters on the right side, or just the lack of non-numerics on the right side? I don't think most of those rules are needed technically; I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of those rules matches someone reading this comment thread. Any one of those individually seems like a strange minor reason to pre-emptively ban a customer if it doesn't necesarrily cause technical problems.

If it's only people hitting multiple of those conditions, then maybe you could use a scoring function that only rejects users that meet multiple conditions? If the reason for the validation is a character judgment instead of a technical limit, then you could add more conditions too. People with email addresses that contain accented characters probably don't even speak the same language as you, so you could save yourself some headaches by marking those invalid. If you don't like leetspeak, then I think banning the letter "x" could be a good move too on average. "+" is used by a lot of people who want to trace whoever you might be selling your email lists to, so you could ban them before they blow the whistle on anything. Email addresses containing references to political candidates probably aren't owned by savory characters, so you could mark those as invalid too... Now that I think about it, since it's not for technical reasons, then none of this is really specific to emails. You could run passwords and other user content through this validation too.

If the restrictions aren't for technical reasons, then they're just arbitrary tools for blocking users.

Sorry for ranting a bit. I'm just tired of how often I get mystery validation errors from services because something stupid like that it turned out they thought that english works that happen to be sql keywords like "insert" shouldn't be allowed in the subject field, or my friend with an apostrophe in his name repeatedly being turned away from software telling him his name is invalid, and the idea that these rules could be in place just to cause people like us this annoyance ticked me off.
> My Android does everything I want out of a pocket computer, and the iPhone doesn't.

That's very reasonable. Conversely, my iPhone does everything I want out of a pocket phone, and the Androids I've tried have not.

A sysadmin buddy of mine thinks it's awesome that, when a process spins out of control and pegs his phone's CPU, he can drop right into a root shell and kill it from top. I think it's awesome that in five years and two iPhone models, that's not something I've ever needed to think about doing. Different strokes.
Is that a software restriction or a hardware restriction?
This is happening to me on Android (Chrome); the page completely freezes and can't be scrolled for 3-5 seconds. I assumed it was my phone reflowing or something, but I feel like it shouldn't be that bad, and if it's also happening on MBA, it really shouldn't be that bad
Thanks. Branding is hard.
I'd use github pages.
I keep mine in my pocket, I never saw a reason to go back to the 4.7" Android phones that I used for 5 years prior to moving to iOS. 4" is the right size for a phone IMO. I only have notifications enabled for calls and texts, I'm not the type to be into my phone like a fool and look at it while driving, and I only use it for useful purposes. Random Teamviewer access, checking Google News, Feedly, check personal/work email, check deposits/banking. I also have smaller hands, and need to hold onto metal rails as I ride the train and bus. I almost fumble 4.7"+ phones when using them 1-handed.

She usually has her purse and uses her phone more than me, essentially as a tablet. Playing games often such as something I've become accustomed to, Cookie Run. It's really preference. She doesn't mind the larger phone and doesn't mind the inconvenient size for day to day use.

I'm very letdown the 7(Plus) doesn't have a Lightning port pass-through port on the new charging cables. I can let go of 3.5mm, as I don't have any particularly great investment in headphones, but I can't accept inability to charge and use a wired headset at the same time.

I think they will bring in Lightning port pass-through cables with the iPhone7S, but right now want to rake in expensive, more quickly obsolescent (batteries) wireless Beats headphones before they do that.

Wireless stuff to me just means 1 more thing that needs charging, and while I do like those LG around-the-neck Bluetooth headsets, I dislike being forced into it if I want to charge my phone and use a headset.
> I can't sue Home Depot for giving up my credit card info to hackers unless I can prove that it led to someone running up my credit card bill.

It's funny how personal data is so clearly valuable - if it weren't companies wouldn't spend resources to hang on to it - and yet that value is so hard to define.

I wonder if it would be helpful if personal information were treated like some kind of intellectual property which could be licensed out, and there were some kind of market for doing so. If a company leaked my data I could sue them like a record company suing individuals who share music files.

Of course, any one individual might not be able to make much money by selling access to their data. It's just a thought.
It appears that all of the Enterprise Security Products division, including ArcSight, Fortify, Voltage, and Atalla, are being spun out.
Of course it matters: it determines who is the aggressor in this. Whatever argument you could make for "making others uncomfortable", it goes orders of magnitude more for the shit they pulled and the lukewarm reaction to it. That people don't want the tribunal, and inform others of the execution after the fact is the problem not the solution, and "I cannot judge this" to me just reads like code for washing your hands of not even trying. Plenty of variations of that to be had, all cloaking cowardice as intelligence or morality. SSDD.
This is untrue for CloudFlare as well. Individual sites may choose to require JavaScript but you can use the service just fine without it.
Super extreme nitpick, it's listed at $9.00 on Apple's store:

http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MMX62AM/A/lightning-to-35-...

I must say, I'm a bit shocked at the price. I wouldn't have expected Apple to sell a paperclip for under $19. Their Lightning to USB cable, which seems like it must be strictly simpler than this adapter (no DAC!) costs $19.
Why is this a problem? What's wrong with living a reclusive life, if that's what you want to do?

I live alone and don't go outside unless I have to buy food. I work online, and make electronic music and play video games when I'm not working. It's how I choose to live my life and don't see anything wrong with it.
> It costs a little bit more than buying the phone outright on day 1, but you get to pay over time.

And the cost difference is the same as the cost for Apple Care, which is included. So if you were going to sign up for that (which I have to do) you're already breaking even.

What about bang addressing!?
This. When you're in a store, a thin phone feels nice in your hand. It feels new and sleek. You can't judge battery life in the store -- you need to research that separately.
talking about the importance of variable input cells in minute 43 smh. working in finance this is not very impressive. also excel on a mac is inferior.

I think only about 1% of excel users actually build models with it so the need for advanced skills in using the program just aren't necessary, such as for storing data and maybe making pivot tables...
The other answer as robryan mentioned is that there's one codebase and apple engineers develop on the latest devices, which from apple's benchmarks are at least 50% faster than the previous generation, so if you're on a 4S, that's 4 generations behind the 6S, which apple engineers are probably testing iOS 10 on.

Geekgench puts the 4S at 282 and the 6S at 2389 on single core performance.

> Higher scores are better, with double the score indicating double the performance.

https://browser.primatelabs.com/ios-benchmarks

That would imply that the 4S is running at least 8x slower than the latest hardware.
The concept of the Technium sounds similar to this 4th layer.

I think its fuzzy -- and perhaps because its so different, or perhaps because (as you suggest) it may not be realistic. But were it realistic, I'd assume hobbies would be a big part of a well functioning society. I think we'd see at least some blossoming of hobbyists where, free to pursue their highest interests, you'd see some truly spectacular music and art, some people becoming nearly professional at their sport of choice (and more esports). I think there's at least one (and perhaps many) hobbies for everyone, and that many people working and parenting never get around to discovering them. Having only more recently discovered mine, I can tell you I wish i had more time to pursue them!
Right, the latter fact is equivalent to considering exp the solution of a differential equation, which is a much bigger fact. Treating the approximation as an innocent brute fact is what I considered begging the question, because why should this differential equation be valid for complex values?
OnboardIQ (YC S15) Is Hiring Ruby Engs. And Data Scientists
OnboardIQ (https://onboardiq.com/) is a hiring automation platform for companies employing lots of hourly workers — think delivery companies, retail, call centers, and service marketplaces.
We went through Y Combinator’s batch last summer (S15), raised a $3.3m seed round, and we’ve grown tremendously over the past year. We are still a small and scrappy team looking to build out our engineering team, and we’d like to work with you.

On the surface, we're a b2b software tool. Underneath the hood, we've collected tons of applicants by serving as the backend that processes every single one of our customer's hourly-workforce applicants, and we've started to build algorithms that can predict hire rates and retention of applicants in a service economy that is characterized by unpredictable labor.

Our stack is Ruby on Rails on the backend, and React on the front.

That's basically apple's keynote style, going all the way back to Steve. I always find the design videos interesting (the ones with Ive narrating).
I see it as a ploy to move people up the ladder to the airpods. Though it's an expensive proposition, I for one will happily ditch the wired headphones for the wireless counterpart. However, what I really dread is losing the airpods and, I can't even imagine what my 3 YO will turn them into :).
> Titanfall 2 it's in MP beta for quite some time now ;)

Either way you are complaining about a game, which has not been released.

>Usually on the PS4 it's either 1080p or 60fps take your pick

Yes. And there are not many 60 fps games so most games are 1080p.

> but for the many people if it's not running at 60 it might as well not run at all

Which is a valid point you probably should have disclosed before saying that there are no 4k and 1080p games, because much more people don't really care about 60 fps.
I agree, but in that case, you should be validating the e-mail address (which was my original point).

Failure to do so means:

- The user who actually owns that e-mail can't login

- The user who signs up can potentially impersonate the real user (depending on what your app does)

- The user who signs up can't reset their password

- The user who actually owns the e-mail can take ownership of the account (by resetting password)
That's unfortunate. I was able to go to a subsidized private school for ethnic minorities, which cost about USD 300/month. Same local curriculum, all English.
This probably comes from Ubisoft's French roots. It sounds like a very French attitude to take towards being called after hours (which is illegal there).

I like that they do this for you; good on them!
I guess it depends on your definition of "functioning". People spend 1/3 of their lives at jobs they hate, assuming they are lucky enough to be part of the shrinking group who have employable skills, making barely enough to survive, while the majority of excess value created gets funneled to a smaller and smaller subset of society. That doesn't sound functioning to me (well, it's functioning to the small number of benefactors, I suppose).
Your comment implies they are replacing the jack with wireless earbuds, but that's not what happened. They are doing two things:

1. Switching to a proprietary connector for wired headphones.

2. Releasing improved wireless headphones as an optional add-on.

So you still get "convenient and dependable" wired headphones supplied with the phone. And you get an adapter for using 3rd party wired headphones, so you are not "stuck with the crappy lightning headphones." Wired headphones, whether existing ones from 3rd parties or the upcoming ones from Apple, are unaffected.

As for whether Apple is Really Wrong This Time in requiring an adapter for 3rd party wired headphones... Putting aside how utterly vindicated they've been every time they've done this in history... According to Apple this was to enable major iPhone 7 features like the improved camera.[1] Was that worth requiring an adapter for certain cases, cases which will probably diminish over time as more 3rd party headphones go wireless? I'd say it seems in the ballpark of the sorts of tradeoff decisions they've made in the past.

WWDC 2014 in June had the 'Zen Garden' demo running Unreal 4 on the Metal API [1], and it was released to the app store in September [2]. In a different session, CryEngine was shown running Metal on an iPad [3]. That's two high-profile game engines already using the API. A limited release perhaps, but I count that as a significant head-start, all the while Khronos was just organizing glNext.

I think if half a million young people are doing it, it's worth at least studying right? No need to call it bad or good just yet.
I wonder if the introduction of plastics, bpa, or other chemicals have something to do with this and other issues we see growing over time. Likely we will not know for 50-80 years (see: Smoking, asbestos).
Why worry about obsoleting tons of headphones when this (and every new phone) obsoletes a whole phone? Isn't that a much greater cost?
How do architects get away with vague details when lives can be on the line? If they design the building correctly, they should be pushing to make things as explicit as possible so that when contractors make a mistake it is clear where the fault is. It seems unprofessional that they'd be pushing in the other direction.
There's another problem with basic income: being able to earn an income is a signal of mate quality, and that norm might take a long time to unlearn.

While it's better than letting people starve or get food stamps, you might find a large class of young, unemployed males who have trouble getting interest from potential mates. Historically, that's always been recipe for political unrest.

And even if there's not, if basic income becomes a thing, I'll bet there is large positive status attached to someone demanding your labor. People on basic will be second-class citizens, and there will always be political pressure from the 'working class' to reduce the drain on the tax base.
One was a proprietary technology with a myriad of security and portability issues.

This is odd. Clearly anyone can make a lighting fast page by making a single page since then you can have css inlined versus needing to link to css style sheets with multiple pages, and of course not having javascript would make it faster, but thats a requirement for most all typical sites these days, and loading images that way is nice for hackers but not for real people using cms's by common people and clients. Also paying $25-35 for hosting is not very bright since you can get a $5 digital ocean server ssd, not shared, that would load this particular page just as fast if not faster.

The schools don't offer them, as they aren't a part of the public curriculum. People are still campaigning for it.

Apart from that there are free Chinese classes at some churches, that's about it.

Outside classes are simply not enough though, there's no way a foreign child could catch up to local children who've been immersed in Chinese since birth. And the public Chinese curriculum is a challenge even for locals.

Lastly, Hong Kong people speak Cantonese which is considerably more difficult that Putonghua which most of China speaks. (More complex characters, more than double the tones)
I have a MBP that I bought in 2014, 6 years after I bought my first MBP. I only got the new one because I messed up the main board while installing a new batter on the old one.

I am hoping that I am satisfied with my current one for the next couple of years at least, especially now that we are in the in-between. Sadly, I think that the OLED bar is going to be a deal breaker for me.

As much as I don't want to, I am also considering a Windows laptop. The Gigabyte Aero 14 looks really good due to the long battery life that I've come to expect from the MacBook Pro.

This is fantastic. DARPA gets it. I look forward to whatever fruits come from this labor. Maybe one day I won't have to look at stack traces and reverse engineer 3rd-party dependencies to figure out why things are breaking. Maybe one day error messages will have explanatory power. Maybe one day IDEs will understand abstractions other than ASTs and types and instead will understand things that convey human intent that is not so closely tied to rigid constructs like type systems. What a wonderful world that will be.
Electrically it'll work, but mechanically it'll suck. Right now you hold the phone in one hand and swipe the card with the other. With this adapter, you'd need three hands: phone, reader, card. Or find a place to put the phone down while you run the operation.

For something like a card reader, you really want a device that plugs straight into the phone. If Square isn't able to build a Lightning reader just because Apple controls the port, that would be kind of irritating.
Japan however has a low unemployment rate.
> when I flick through my Tumblr feed I feel like I see a lot of people who state outright that they just can't function outside.

I'm going to sound rude and this is out of anecdotal experience (and I know some people actually can't function outside) but you should be careful when people on Tumblr say that. I've found most are just bored or lonely teenagers who self-diagnose themselves random things like Aspergers, ADHD, depression, etc. for whatever reason (sometimes for a valid reason related to family/household dysfunction, other times just to appear more interesting and to fit in online). When I used Tumblr five or so years ago I remember following these people and the ones I kept in touch with well, to sound rude again, grew out of it.
