What I'd like is for a company like Apple to provide me (and others) the tools & APIs we need in order to take advantage of that integration, without locking us into their UI paradigms. I would like everything to Just Work™; I wouldn't mind a Macintosh laptop; I would hate to be stuck using the macOS UI.

A lot of what Apple really does is hardware integration. Let me use the hardware to run a free OS, and also take advantage of the excellent hardware integration. Let me use a free operating system, StumpWM, emacs and some nifty APIs which let me talk to the integrated hardware system.

Give me, in the words of Steve Jobs, a 'bicycle for the mind,' not a tram to nowhere.

I'm not saying that classical physics isn't deterministic. I'm saying that classical physics is provably not a fully accurate model even at macro scales. For most problems at the macro scale, our best model is deterministic, but it is also easy to construct scenarios where macro scale events are not deterministic unless quantum phenomena are also deterministic, so clearly our best model is one that acknowledges that macro scale events might not be fully deterministic.

This surprises me too, but I also must recognize my own inherent bias: The places I have worked in for the past five years all have "enterprise" laptops which are loaded down with all kinds of agents, clients, and background services which just put a silly load on just an idle system. A measly 4GB of RAM would not be enough to run MS Office alongside IE.

The screen issue does bug me though. Not just a haxxor feature anymore, all basic Windows users can leverage the split-screen capability to put two applications side by side - on a 720p screen, there really isn't enough screen space to practically do this. I think 1080x1920 or at least 900x1600 should be the standard for 2018.

I'm always baffled whenever someone comes up with these wacky Google Android replacement suggestions. It's as if they selectively choose to ignore history and the billions, that would be futilely squandered, pursuing something that has absolutely zero chance of ever succeeding or even being profitable. I'm not sure what fantasy world you reside in, but replacing Google's proprietary apps and services with Microsoft's proprietary apps is not only a significantly less value proposition for the consumer, but there's absolutely no incentive for the consumer or OEM to even remotely consider such a platform. You will never have the ecosystem and you will never have the developer support and whatever developers and OEM's you do manage to bribe over they'll quickly abandon the platform once the payola dries up.

>There is now a whole industry dedicated to installing hacked Google products on devices Google does not approve of.

I think you meant to say there was until Google closed that loophole.
Money is the only thing that consistently defies outcomes... Specifically liability that puts profit at risk. Unlike statutory engineers, programmers/AI experts/etc have no professional obligation to act ethically, and it’s a fools errand to assume that they will act to prevent unethical conduct. History has repeatedly proven this assertion out.

Nobody is going to call their friendly neighborhood ethicist until they are at risk of losing something. Rogue companies like Uber will only be checked when there’s a credible threat of being sued into oblivion. Employees of rogue companies will only act if they have exposure.
I'd agree that the outrage is fueled by the election, but I don't think that diminishes the significance of the shift. I think it was the force that was required. Previously, the trade of "all your personal information" in exchange for finding out which harry potter character you were most like seemed reasonable to people. They didn't see the value in their data, and they trusted random 3rd parties with it. Now people are seeing it.

It's like one of those 3d pictures. The "hidden" image was always there in plain sight. People just overlooked it until they stared at it hard enough.

>I would wager that the average CS professor at a top school is significantly more well-read in history, ethics, and many other subjects than the "AI Ethics major" being proposed.

Wait, what? To become a professor you have to spend the vast majority of your time teaching and/or studying/producing research in your specific discipline. How do you reach the conclusion that someone who doesn't exclusively focus on a topic would be more well-read on it than someone who does?

I confirm that; I did my own battery replacement on old iPhone4 that I bought cheaply on Amazon. Year later I changed the phone and never cared to sell this one. Fast forward this year to garage cleanup - same picture the battery inside expanded dramatically destroying the case. Little I know I left it outside for recycling to pick it up. Next morning all my trash is splattered everywhere and neighbor said he hear explosion. The battery got wet and exploded! I took tons of photos but it was on my previous iPhone so unable to upload any at the moment.

Yeah you'd use CLion for C/C++ development (tho AppCode includes C/C++ support as well), although haven't used that variant myself, but they're all built from the same high-quality core platform and share many components so I'd expect it to provide a quality experience for C/C++ as well.

Maybe I’m missing something but does this blog post conclude with a service to do inference off device? Why explain all of the steps to inference on device if you’re offering an API to do cloud inference?
I don't. I'm not on it.
It's what people think the "RESF" does, but as is consistently mentioned whenever it is brought up, there seems to be more people replying to any comment about Rust with complaints of "RESF" (even if the original comment is just "trying to raise some awareness", etc.) than people actually proposing rewriting anything/everything in Rust.

In any case, I think being a core developer on something means a much higher bar for accuracy/relevance/general public behaviour when discussing it and its competitors: everything one says about the project is a semi-official representation of it. Certainly the Rust core developers try to be careful about conveying an accurate picture of costs as well as benefits when answering questions or correcting misconceptions[1]. That is certainly something I found weighed on my mind a lot when I was on the Rust teams: anything I said about it could become part of "the Rust project" (as an idea people have) itself.

[1]: One extra point is that, IME, this is often how Rust team members interact with social media: they won't be the first person to bring up Rust in a thread. Of course, it's fair to say that Rust has a bigger mindshare and more people outside the project team members will bring it up/compare to it than Nim, but one possible alternative approach to awareness is more whole threads (i.e. submitted articles) about Nim rather than just comments within threads about other technologies.

(To be clear, this is just a reply to the parent comment, I'm not trying to say the original Nim comment was "NESF"-ish or "RiiN".)
>This "Trump is playing 4d hyperchess and can see externalities

Whether or not Trump's behavior is intentional or accidental, the outcome is the same.

>And yet you're seemingly unwilling to quote, engage, or even acknowledge that side of the conversation?

As I acknowledged multiple times in this thread, I'm not even arguing my own position. I'm pointing out that there are other ways of seeing the world, other axioms that can be accepted which make the mainstream media look very biased. I don't need to engage in an argument about whether neo-Nazis are worse than Antifa because it's irrelevant to our conversation. The topics I brought up were pretty mainstream things like abortion, gun rights, etc. You have brought the conversation to the fringe. But this isn't about the fringe. It's about the middle. Of course the bias is expressed in how the media talks about the fringe too, but again that's irrelevant. We probably agree on many if not most of these issues, but conservatives are not crazy in seeing that the mass media doesn't represent them fairly, or in many cases doesn't represent them at all.

The same reason a lot of very expensive land is sitting undeveloped. Whoever owns it, is betting they can get a higher payment for the usage tomorrow than today.
Also has to do with tech folk reinventing things that work perfectly fine such as buses, hyperloops, etc.
It's an interesting point but it's worth remembering that Uranium is far more valuable than oil by weight. Many people wouldn't mind sitting on vast amounts of Uranium.

Also, keep in the various oil disasters. Dealing in oil also comes with it's own risks. No need to switch from that analogy. In this light, likening data to radioactive materials seems to me like spreading fud...

> Apple's CPUs are already faster in single-core benchmarks than the Intel competition

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. "But Geekbench..." is not extraordinary evidence. Give me a board where I can do an Apple to apples comparison, booting both under the same revision of the same OS, and running industry standard benchmarks (read: plural), and then we can come to that conclusion.
I think that would be amazing if true.

Nothing will focus the mind of Facebook more than a declining stock price (and personal fortunes).

Until today you could leak users data and nothing would happen to the stock price.
Few times I reported hate speech on Facebook, but every time it was rejected. It seems like hatred towards certain groups of people is allowed on Facebook.
If you contacted them, you just opened yourself to potential persecution, even if it would not be you who actually pastebined it later.

Not even once.
So sad to hear :(
With touch bar i agree, it hate it. But the thunderbolt dock thingie totally rocks. It's really nice to only plug in one cable to connect the complete hardware on your desk (multiple screens, ethernet, power, etc).
StumpWM & a full GNU userland just like the machines we deploy on are killer.
There's only a small amount in the pulp. Not an issue unless you totally gorge on them. (Similar to the Cyanide in Almonds.)
My only complaint is that if the mac were truly a developer-centric device, I wouldn't need homebrew to install software. It should just be in the apple store for me to download.
Valid point about crooked, but why the hate for lucky/foolish people? A lot of people owe their success in life (at least partially) to luck, being at the correct place at the correct time. Not just financially, but in relationships/politics etc.

A lot of deserving/smart/hard working people don't get what they deserve, but a lot of dumb/lazy people get more than what they worked for. That's how life works, isn't it?
You will likely go through life with many jobs. You will only ever have one father. Lots of people would kill for the opportunity to have worked alongside their father for years, even exploited. It's special.

I think you have to decide how much your relationship with your father is worth to you. If you can put a price on it, make darn sure whatever you do next is 100% going to result in that price, or more, and you won't lose any sleep.

Consider for a moment that maybe your father did more to keep the business alive than you think he did, and that maybe you did less to keep it alive than you think you did. You're not crazy to think you're a 50/50 cofounder, but you're probably wrong to think it.

I think you should consider opening your own warehouse across town, doing the exact same thing your current business is doing. Build a better engine, and skim the cream your current business is getting (for the 90% of inventory that generates 10% of the revenues, simply send them the business to keep your new venture and cash burn optimally-sized). Don't clue your family into what you're doing. If your father is essential and irreplaceable to the business model, then your venture could fail. If you're the essential one, then you can gift your family some nonvoting stock after your business takes off and theirs tanks (assuming Amazon doesn't eat both your lunches in the meantime).

But consider this all with the backdrop of only having one family. You can't put a price on that, or at least I can't.
Origin Protocol (https://www.originprotocol.com) is a blockchain project focused on building the sharing economy without intermediaries. We're creating protocols to allow buyers and sellers of fractional usage assets and services (think Airbnb, Getaround, Fiverr, Taskrabbit) to transact without paying middlemen 20-30%. We're excited by the opportunity to build censorship resistant marketplaces and redistribute value to the contributors to the network instead of just the founders and VCs. We believe the open source protocols we're developing could ultimately replace dozens of existing multimillion or multibillion dollar businesses.

We're experienced founders who have built and sold multiple businesses in the past. Origin is the most ambitious idea we've tackled to date (hopefully on the right side of crazy). We currently have a working MVP built on Ethereum and IPFS. We're looking for all sorts of people to join our team, whether you code in react, python or solidity. We're a distributed team and open to remote.

Ping us at founders@originprotocol.com if you're interested.

But China already has far higher tariffs on many goods, so the deal isn't equal already. To extend your point, I think we need to go further.

Higher oil prices in 2008 did what? Increased domestic oil production, massively.
We'll see this in steel, and we should take measures to do the same for other industries by equalizing tariffs vs China.

But back to my point about globalization leading to massive outsourcing of jobs to China, then leading to massive economic dissolution to large swaths of the country. We can't all be "coders".. So what's the solution?

We "buy local" by spending a little bit higher prices on food and hipster coffee & craft beer and restaurants etc. Why can't we do the same, at the margins for all sorts of industries. Is that "more expensive" than dealing with epidemic levels of Opioid addictions and corresponding healthcare and other costs? The current situation is not working.. or more specifically, it is not working for a particular group of people in any way whatsoever.
...in one benchmark, from a heavily Apple-favoring company.

I'm sorry, we need better evidence.

No, training in CS is not sufficient. However it is necessary.

If an attempt is made by people with only a lay understanding of the subject, the work will be done poorly for a different reason. And the poorness of the work will be something more readily apparent to those in the field than not.

Of the two necessary skills to intelligently comment on the subject, CS is the harder one to acquire. Which is why I believe that the best work will come from those who studied CS as a primary, rather than those who studied it as a secondary.
Interesting, okay thanks! I'll give it a try.
