My first impressions (5 minutes use) are similar - they seem to have stuffed a lot of Potter stuff into the Pokemon app. One of the nice things with Pokemon was its simplicity - you throw augmented reality balls at AR creatures to catch them. The potter app seems to need walls of text to explain what's going on.
Hmm...everything?

IANAM but for me the significance and meaning is to do with being able to reason about problems at a higher level of abstraction.

I read somewhere: "Marurity is answering more a more often with a 'it depends ...'"

This resonates me a lot. Ageing has made me very alergic to strong opinions, black and white approaches and naive enthusiasm.

(As someone who buys Apple since 25+ years) Apple pricing has never been cost driven, but value and brand driven.
You can’t really avoid it anyway. How do you know a contributor isn’t secretly working for the NSA (or a foreign equivalent). The only way to prevent backdoors is to inspect the code and keep it small and simple.
I stopped working on that for a number of years, and others maintained it, but the original test suite was just mine. Look at the ILC 2005 paper in the doc/ directory there.

One of the biggest advantages of the function API is the flexibility it gives for the library authors, making them more powerful and much easier to maintain, so instead of fighting against the API they will be able to focus on new fancy features, better documentation or community support.

This gain will be visible for all Vue developers regardless of which API they use because we all want to have the best quality libraries in our ecosystem.
Depends on your risk profile.

I use Windows 10 strictly for gaming, all applications are installed via Steam, Epic or Origin, patches are installed via windows and I use fully patched ever green browsers.

I don't have an office suite installed nor do I use email.

All serious work/tasks are done on Fedora not Windows.

So on that system I don't use anti-virus as I've decided there is simply no reason (the risk is sufficiently low and I'm an experience user who doesn't do risky things).

If I was installing Windows for my mum I'd look at it completely differently, so really what you have to consider is the risk/reward in your favour.
"CYBERPUNK: Outlaws and Hackers on the Computer Frontier"[1] was pretty interesting related reading, as it covers the same story from from the other side. (DISCLAIMER: I read the book quite many years ago..)

I see. Well I'll stick to other emulators.
> I do believe you can change yourself.

I don't believe you can change much. You can force yourself to behave differently, but at a cost of extra effort and suffering.

Instead of personality change, I think the environment changes, and we express different psychological features depending on the situation. There are people/situations that bring out the best in us, and the opposite. Who we are depends on where we are, and with who we are interacting.

And of course with more experience comes less over-confidence. We change our values in light of our past experience.

Another thing is risk. The more you have to lose the less you want to risk it. When you have invested a lot in a family or career, you change your values in order to minimise risk.

So I think we are not changing our personality but it reflects differently because our situation has changed.

This realisation helped me forgive myself of the torture of changing my personality, instead I seek a situation where the better characteristics of my personality shine. I have always been myself even though externally I changed.
It's going to be a long, long time - at least a decade. I'd go as far as to say "never" is plausible, depending on how ARM penetration plays out.

If the consoles go ARM before AVX-512 has been standard on new PCs for years, it may just not be worth it.

> anyone who can organize enough violence is instantly legitimate, which leads to recognizing some rather unsavory groups.

I'm not sure that this is the case. Perhaps instead of "monopoly on violence", we should rather talk about a "property right on violence" - the key is not so much organizing enough of it, but keeping it in check from others. Note that just "organizing enough violence" doesn't tell us much of anything about this while OTOH, not defending one's claim from opportunistic outsiders is meaningful evidence that one probably wouldn't be providing effective security even if some sort of conflict were to flare up entirely on its own.
In hope of you still reading this:

No, I don't work in frequency regulation. If you want to hire me into it however, I might be interested.

I don't know what sort of concepts you mean, and as I said earlier, the main issue is how you get the grid as a whole to do large-distance load-balancing/load-shifting. These decisions can't be made local for lack of insight into how loaded long-distance transmission lines are and how throttled different regions are, and therefore which regions you want the power to come from. There are certain industrial loads that can be time-shifted, and some that are only worthwhile to operate at lower prices, where reduced utilization (and thus increased capex) has to be hedged against higher energy prices (and thus increased opex).
If you get fine-grained surge pricing for consumers combined with some forecasting and automatic decision making to e.g. shut devices off during surges or incentivize people to use the electric shower/kettle at a different point in time, you should get by without any fossil fuels at all.
Think like adjusting clock speeds/power targets of servers depending on momentary prices, to best balance capex and opex (batch jobs only), or adjust the energy you expend on video encoding for live streams to balance perceived quality and costs.

Obviously adjust EV charging. With e.g. minimal range targets for different points in time, or user-friendly ways of expressing the trade-off between higher range for the next day (and thus more freedom) and higher costs (kWh required during the EV's stay at the charger).
It could even go to distribute charging stops based on forecasts for energy prices/availability, so you use the flexibility in when exactly to stop on a long trip for load-shaping the power grid.
> I applaud moving away from UEFI, to something simpler and more transparent, and something not hostile from the start to open source.

Coreboot is not an alternative to UEFI. You can make TianoCore builds that use Coreboot, even!
Mmm, there were electric car companies in the US before Tesla, started within a decade of Tesla.

AC Propulsion (1997) tried producing the t0. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_Propulsion_tzero

In January 1996, Corbin Motors began work on developing an electric vehicle. The Sparrow passed final testing for Department of Transportation certification in April 1999. In September of that year, the Sparrow production line began manufacturing multiple vehicles in Hollister, California. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers_Motors

They weren't successful, but that's different than your point about "nobody has started a new car company in the USA in many decades".
I fail to see how this isn’t a step forward, though. Given that there will always be a subset of people who drink at bars who will drive themselves home, then the availability of things like Autopilot can only help to reduce overall the number of accidents that occur as a result.

That is the brilliance of Chiplet strategy. Those 74nm 7nm Die are extremely cost effective. ( For reference they are even smaller than the SoC used in iPhone ) The 14nm I/O die ( 400mm2 ) seems to be most expensive part. I wonder what cost improvement could be done in that area.

And Note: That 5K CPU has 256MB of L3 Cache. May be I could Run the OS not in RAM, but in Cache.
I'm still not sure what to think about cryptocurrency[0]. I just don't get the price fluctuations. They seem to be random and not based on any relevant real-world event. Granted, they list the announcement of Libra as a reason in the article, but how would that be good for Bitcoin?

[0]and that's coming from someone who owned several bitcoins a few years back but stupidly used them for buying stuff. It's not as bad as the guy who ordered a pizza for I think 1 million bucks, but still I'd rather have the money now...
That you can think these networks have left-leaning narratives just goes to show how much right-wing politics have become the norm.

As another commenter pointed out, the only thing that can be tought of as "left-wing" with them is that they are to the left of Fox News.

To go back to basics, left means distributing profits more equally, having built-in methods of solidarity, and giving power to the people (all of them).
Except it dosent because there are 4+ mutually incompatible versions of AVX instruction sets.

Gotta love the price segmentation.
But why would Libra increase rather than decrease interest in Bitcoin? Is there any actual rationale?
It's a military agency whose stated mission goal (among others) is to be able to compromise any military or civil information processing system used by non-US citizens.

You're a bit gullible if you think that the nice folks from the NSA you meet have any say in what their agency does with the technology and projects they are involved in. I'm sure this aspect of it is one of the more frustrating parts of working for the NSA, especially right now, but it's also fair to say that they probably know what they signed up for.
Bitcoin rises above $10k for the first time in a year
If Windows implements a nice CLI to install apps and tools, *well, it's almost there, but not really), something a la Chocolatey, but 100% free, and standard, and actively developed and supported, then it hands down becomes the best OS for developers. You have almost a real Linux, a real Windows, and a modern Desktop unlike the dated macOS.
The irony of billionaires who made their money through fracking saying they have a 'responsibility to the land' is I hope not lost on anyone.

In either case, we're seeing a lot of previously public property essentially turn private and the results never seem to work out that well.

>Does anyone have a graph of recent $/transistor progress?

It wouldn't matter. You can't look at cost / transistor without factoring in Die Size and yield. Not to mention the cost of Higher Performance and Low Power Transistor are different. And the wafer price ( Cost / Transistor ) also exclude all the design cost and tooling around the node.
In a word: Apple.

They keep releasing updates to IOS that don't work and that break existing functionality without fixing old bugs. This means continuous work to update apps without any benefit.

They restrict access to essential services (MAC addresses on the network, forced to use Webkit etc.) that severely limit functionality without meaningfully improving privacy or security.

They are locked in an eternal quest for "thinner" that means I can't run background processes because battery life. No, you morons, I want functionality over style. I want my VOIP app to work reliably in the background. Give me a bigger battery!

There has been no innovation in the hardware for years. How about an IR port so I can make a TV-Be-Gone type app to stop that idiot box from blaring ads in my face? How about access to the radio receiver so I can write an SDR app?

The iPad Pro has great hardware, but I can't do a damn thing with it because everything is so restricted. No point buying the stupid thing, let alone writing apps for it.

And the documentation is laughably horrible. Generated automagically, useless garbage. And any hope I have of figuring out how to do something in Swift is torpedoed by all the irrelevant answers about previous incompatible versions. It's a nightmare.

"Move fast and break things" is the worst idea, ever. Apple should spend a year or two doing absolutely nothing but bug fixes and documentation. Instead, the assholes keep announcing new effing emojis and shit.

I suppose that they are catering to a vast population of increasingly stupid and useless people who don't do anything and certainly don't make anything, not counting crappy art, movies and music.

I want to use my Apple hardware to actually do something that doesn't involve chatting with my moron friends on Facebook and taking fucking pictures of my slaveringly stupid family that I will never look at. I want a functional device, not a goddam fashion accessory.

Everyone thinks that everyone else thinks that Libra is positive news and will buy more bitcoin. Then when everyone sees these news articles on top of their feeds, they will get FOMO, and everything becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Fundamentals dont matter.
Because Libra is going to attract more people into the crypto industry and it doesn't compete with Bitcoin but rather complement it.

I don't think it is linked to Libra. The price if Bitcoin has been slowly rising for a while now.

Libra is better than the dollar but still not as censorship-resistant as Bitcoin.

Regulation in Libra will eventually push people to Bitcoin, or atleast that is the expectation.

> Among the nation’s top landowners are Mr. Malone, with 2.2 million acres in New Mexico, Colorado and other states;

To give a sense of perspective, 2.2 million acres is a 94 km by 94 km square (or 59 by 59 miles). Approximately equivalent to a single person owning all of Cyprus or Puerto Rico.

Add two more people from that paragraph, and between the three of them, they own more land than all of Israel.
> but how would that be good for Bitcoin?

It generates hype for cryptocurrencies generally and bitcoin is the most well known of those.

I mean long term Libra is a potential competitor (if it ever gets that far, I have my doubts).

That said I've maintained crypto is insane from the start, the technology is interesting but it seems like a classic solution looking for a problem (and it suffers from the "if it is better, is it so much better to overcome inertia).
Acne is a symptom and treating the symptom may have some effect... but of course it is a far better idea to find the cause and treat the cause.

> but value and brand driven

What value?
Sometimes sample size of one can be enough.

If you have just one white lab rat (N=1) and it weighs 50 kg after the treatment, you can just skip all statistical analysis an publish the result. The importance of the discovery is self evident due to the effect size alone.

The discovery that H. pylori causes peptic ulcers was first submitted to Lancet as a two papers, 25 patients study and 100-patient study. Lancet was slow to publish and there was resistance from the medical establishment. It was hard to find reviewers who would agree on the importance of the paper. Barry Marshall decided to do experiment with himself and it was very convincing. Marshall and Warren received a Nobel price for their discovery.
You can be conservative in some directions and progressive in others.

Is that true though? As far as I know the Spec has been donated to USB and will be included / published as USB4 by the end of this year.

So until USB4 is out, it is not Open "yet". And even if USB4 is out, there is no guarantee USB won't mess up with only USB4 4x4 that support Thunderbolt 3 40Gbps.

You don't think there is a problem with it being that easy to convincingly refute articles in the most prestigious science journals? I think that encouraging those refutations would be good, both to force the reviewers to do a better job and as you said encourage opportunists to poke hole in existing papers. It would be good if a significant amount of scientists built their entire career around poking hole in bad papers like this.

Correct, the built-in drivers only cover the "Kepler" architecture, as that was the last one that Apple used in a Mac. The 3rd party Nvidia drivers which support more modern GPUs are only offered up to macOS 10.13 High Sierra.

The technical background for this is that Metal and OpenGL acceleration requires the GPU driver bundle to be loaded into a process's address space. (effectively a dynamic library) With 10.14, Apple has enabled the "library-validation" codesigning flag just about everywhere, which means that only libraries signed by the same developer as the process's main executable or by Apple can be loaded into a process. Hence, 3rd party GPU drivers won't load in WindowServer for example, which makes them dead in the water.

Apple could of course implement an exception or sign Nvidia's driver, but so far it looks like they're not interested. Perhaps there will be a solution to coincide with release of the new Mac Pro which once again contains PCIe slots you conceivably might want to fill with Nvidia cards, but I wouldn't count on it.

(FWIW, my company maintains the macOS driver for one of 2(?) manufacturers of USB graphics adapter chips, so I have a pretty good idea of how the macOS graphics stack works.)
Bitcoin is a very good store of wealth when compared to, say, gold. If I was in a country like Turkey or China I would be moving my wealth into it any way I could. The government inflates their currencies and locks or seizes bank accounts. When you want to escape the dictator, you can memorize 24 words and take your wealth with you over the border. Very hard to keep your gold safe from guards.

Ignoring all of the other uses of Bitcoin, the “digital gold” argument is the strongest IMO.
That is the problem. Land owners don't pay property tax on land that they have placed a conservation easement on.

The people gaming the system to increase its "value" have slowly brought the price up - and they will keep working together (indirectly and directly) to convince/manipulate/trick consumers into buying into this global, decentralized Ponzi-Pyramid scheme to further their wealth through unreasonably redistributing wealth towards earlier adopters - while increasing the "army of HODLers" who now have vested interested in pushing these crypto-"currencies." Everyone who's lost money to the earlier adopters are heavily incentivized to talk positively and promote them so they can attempt to at minimum break even from their losses - which is the main mechanism as to why these are so dangerous for society, the incentive and alignment of working together - to adopt something that has shown little to no value to society; blockchain is a separate conversation as to its value for society. The "killer app" that no one seems to have been able to create for society yet seems to actually be that its structure allows for a Pyramid-Ponzi scheme - and the people selling the shovels during this modern gold rush seem to be the ones best capitalizing on the hype and frenzy.
> Working a lot, especially on one thing, makes us stupid, I think.

Quite the opposite: working a lot on one thing, usually, means deep focus and, as a result, getting deep specialized knowledge and skills. That is smart, not stupid.

But I understand why it is tempting to think that hard work is making us stupid: it is an excuse for not doing the hard work.
