Yes it's an opinion on style, not a falsifiable claim.

> First, threads have been implemented as libraries many times.

The title isn't intended to be taken quite so literally. The author explains why they think these don't work correctly.

> Second, if checks need to happen theg can happen at debug run time if they can't happen at compile time.

But languages don't have mechanisms to implement these kind of checks.

> I don't know what specifically has to be integrated into a language here that makes throwing away the enormous amount already built in other languages.

You're mistaken. It's not 'integrated into', it's 'taken out'.

Libraries let you add things, but to design a model for parallelism you generally want to take things away. You want to take away the ability to do things outside the model's rules.
> and/or dependency potential though?

They absolutely have dependency potential, but you have to be regularly taking them for that to be an issue, a fact which the doctor who was merrily prescribing me them failed to mention. Kicking them was much easier for me from an addictive perspective than cigarettes, but with dramatically worse side effects.

They’re also going to make a certain percentage of the population feel incredible (or just allow them to relax/sleep when they can’t usually), so they’re also very more-ish.

In short: taking them once a quarter is unlikely to be an issue unless you already have poor impulse control and easy access to them, in which case: just don’t start.
I think the big difference between what Apple does and what happens in the data centre, is that Apple builds custom silicon along with a full technology stack on top of it. They aren't throwing some ML specific stuff on their chip and then just hoping someone uses it - they've got specific applications (voice recognition, face recognition etc) that they're targeting.

It's much more difficult in the data centre where you have customers who are going to be writing their own code. You have to build something very generic, you have to build an API, you have to create a software eco-system of libraries and examples and a community of users, and even then lots of people will be worried about lock-in. It's absolutely possible, and Google are already doing custom silicon with the TPUs, but it's a very different challenge.

What are some best blogs/courses on product marketing?
its actually more interesting imo if it _doesn't_ run on the PSP; because that means that there is another processor that runs at a lower level than the x86 cores that can interact with the host and listens externally.

After doing a bit of reading DMTF DASH appears to be implemented in the NIC from Broadcom or Realtek and uses the PCIE interface with the chipset from the NIC.

Apple products are certainly not designed for people that want to be on equal footing. On the contray, it appeals to people that want exclusivity. I think the company itself employs more questionable practices than a common citizen but has adressed these in the past if they became public at least.

This interview didn't pose a single critical question however, so I don't really see its worth. Apple has to sell this well-being of being good to their customers, it would be a good investment. I think some statements are genuine, some of them are just pretentious.
You are right, the extreme value where everyone everytime repeats what was said before, to ensure common understanding, is an unlikely example. My point is that repeating information already present lowers information density. The "good habit of repeating what you understood" can quickly become very annoying.

Related I worked on a real project that used a database of recipes and nutritional information to build varied meal plans to meet certain dietary requirements and goals.

We used a linear solver and added a lot heuristics e.g. what time of day certain recipes were 'acceptible' suggestions. We also needed a lot variants e.g. proportions to meet kJ targets.

You’re quite right. I tried to give my grandparents an iPad, but a few months ago I spent two or three hours trying to get them to reboot it and logged into FaceTime (over the phone). About half of that was literally trying to get them to reboot the iPad. They just couldn’t find and then hold down the power button. They were struggling to see it, and then struggled to hold down the button for long enough without releasing it. It was really really hard for them. I eventually gave up, and they were very frustrated with the iPad and themselves.

I have thought about this many times and all I can think of is that people just have unplanned children and once the child is there parents will structure their life around the child. This isn't something you can prepare yourself for.

The idea of a responsible parent that is choosing to have children at the perfect time is basically a myth.
Anecdotal: back then when SETI@home was a thing, I was running it on some servers; a 700 MHz Xeon was a lot faster (>50%, IIRC) than a 933 MHz Pentium 3, Xeon had a lot lower frequency and slower bus (100 vs 133MHz), but the cache was 4 times larger and probably the dataset or most of it was running in cache.

A while back I visited a cave with a large room that had been previously used some sort sort of public gatherings. The room was rather wide with no supports in the middle. A local official had expressed concern that the room was unsafe and could collapse in an earthquake. The cave operator informed that official that the cave room had been just like that for millions of years, and it was probably safer than any above ground building.
Given the fact that the US has an overwhelming dominance in software development (including for the cloud) I think that the claim this is only a US phenomenon is somewhat moot. As a simple counter-point, the choice of development workstation in the UK seems to mirror my previous experience in the US (i.e. Macs at 50% or more.)

I just checked your book recommendation, the writing is much better than this article. Although it's still trying to create an impression that everything is a giant government conspiracy (which I don't agree, I'd rather see it as a complex interplay between groups with shared interests, and it's probably why you are being downvoted), but the book is concretely based on history and evidences with reasonable citations.

You're right in that you'd need to teach the system more than just ingredient lists.

I have to agree. It's not like we're all running Darwin on servers instead of Linux. Surely the kernel is a more fundamental difference than the CPU architecture.
It is a known issue, and has been talked about somewhat in 'mainstream': [1] wired.com [2] adam ruins everything. I think it isn't talked about more because most of us don't think about anything like this until it is brought up, not to mention that it is a big, complicated issue that really needs folks educated in the right areas to work out.

Ants aren’t capable of meta cognition though. While I agree the analogy is useful it sort of falls down when you apply it to something else. Like birds or dogs. They clearly know humans exist and how they can be manipulated or contacted. The species difference argument at that level then results in a different conclusion, that yes we can communicate but we are probably not all that interesting. Expanding on this birds and dogs don’t know human motivations. We probably don’t understand how alien aliens are. We can barely understand the motivations of others in our immediate social circle. The question we should ask ourselves then is what motivates aliens and how do we trigger that motivation to initiate contact (carefully).
It's possible the author is experiencing cognitive dissonance, but you should consider that maybe they've thought about the issue for a while, and come to conclusion that working at Facebook really is the best to achieve the goals they care about. They've worked on Tea With Strangers for 6 years, so I think it's very unlikely they haven't thought about this consciously, and just "deluding themselves", as another commentator suggests.

Now, I'm guessing that it's an obvious conclusion to you that working at Facebook goes against the goals the author suggests, and hence you dismissed it as cognitive dissonance fairly quickly. So then question becomes, why is obvious to you while not to the author? My suggestion is the author is starting from a different set of axioms than you are, which leads to a different conclusion.

I was able to come up with multiple axiom sets[0] that allow coming to the conclusion that working at Facebook is a positive way to achieve the author's goal, within about 5 minutes of thinking, so I think your conclusion is far from obvious.

[0] - I don't necessarily agree with most (or any) of these. My point is more that these sets do exist.

This is a problem I’ve experienced as well. As apple devices get much older, you run into things like password nags much more frequently. This is extremely off putting for someone who isn’t familiar with tech. Eventually some apps just stop working at all. Then you try to give them a new device, and it’s just similar enough to be extra confusing.
If they allow installing software from outside of the store, that would be fair. If they forbid installing software entirely, that would be fair too, but would turn iPhone into a dumbphone.
> met someone from the Soviet embassy a few times ... but didn't ... know that the person he was speaking to was KGB

Come on.... just a friendly chat about union politics with a man from the communist superpower?

Was there anyone at the Soviet embassy at the time who was not likely working for the KGB to some extent?

Embassies are still to this date I believe a key way intelligence agencies get people into a country. Assume anyone you meet and everything you do in an embassy of an adversary you're in a cold war against are going to be working against you.
Measuring Route Origin Validation
This is not some secret knowledge uncovered via youtube.

Every animal model is imperfect and the various tools to try to address them (e.g. greater genetic uniformity) have consequences as well.

If you pick the wrong model your research will fail. Even if it gets through the pure research phase, the FDA will want justification as for why your animal of choice is appropriate.

I had a program that required — ugh — guinea pigs. Those suckers ended up costing $1K when all was said and done (not the cost of acquiring them,but looking after them and running the program). Rats would have been cheaper and mice even more but theOr immune systems could reject the pathogen we were trying to treat; the GP was the least expensive animal it would attack. (There turned out to be other advantages too but that was that for research). And when it came time for the preclinical work for IND submission the agency wanted an EMEA more expensive animal because it was a better human model.

So it’s an engineering trade off, just like any other. One controlled for when possible. Sorry there’s no conspiracy.

I'd like to buy you a beer. Where are you located?
Yes. I used Windows via BootCamp back in 2008. It was painful, with the fans running full speed all the time and the trackpad not responding in the way it should.

After a few more tries, I gave up. I occasionally used Windows since then through a VM in order to access something specifically, but these days there's nothing left on Windows that I need to use. Office on MacOS is good enough for the light use I put it to. VS Code / JetBrains tools have replaced Visual Studio.

There's no reason for me to use Linux as a desktop vs MacOS. I build Docker containers that run Linux, but that works fine from / in MacOS.

Tech solutions are dictated by historical demands, governance and policies. These latter preconditions preclude simplicity, efficiency and robustness. Having talked with developers that now have to route around "classic systems" for handling new "pandemic" requirements; if they decided, they'd just implement UBI. Unfortunately, politicians don't talk to developers and there's just too many intermediaries. So instead, we end up with workarounds piled upon workarounds, for handling all of policy and exceptions.

Qualified immunity is fine for things done in good faith, to the best of your ability, etc. It's unavoidable that you get things wrong, and people do need some leeway in their execution of their job.

But people shouldn't have immunity when they act in bad faith, or when they should have known that an action is illegal or counter to the purpose of their job. Good/bad faith are hard to test objectively of course, but in some cases they are obvious, like when you're strangling or beating an unarmed person to death. But police officers should also know they're not supposed to shoot or taser someone who is not a direct threat, or pepperspray peaceful protesters in their face. Every officer should know that's not acceptable, and officers should therefore not be immune to prosecution if they do it anyway.

But that also means having clear standards about police work, and officers being trained in those standards.
Yes, or at least it blocks effects if you take it pre-exposure. Risperidone, an atypical antispychotic, is also known for this. Some idiotic big pharma startup will try and milk this, rather than examining cheap existing medications. Plenty of medications block 5-HT2A, I think the important requirement here would be rapid absorption and high receptor occupancy.

Yes, I am aware of it, I should've been more specific.

I'd say just buy them if you need it now. Web developers sometimes need to use docker and VMs for various development tasks and testing. Sure you can run docker in arm, but not all docker images has arm version available. Running Linux and windows vm will probably a challenge as well, at least until we know how well x86 simulator run in the new arm laptop.
