I feel like the thing about Jordan Peterson is the advice he offers seems pretty obvious if it's stuff you've been exposed to.

The thing people miss is there are a lot of people out there who haven't been exposed to such ideas.

I do think he got too big too fast and wasn't really ready to be a cultural icon like he became.

I think him and NN Taleb are on similar footing when it comes to the quality of their thought though. Both are interesting, but the well isn't very deep and you'll have to move on to something new before long.

Where are the numbers on youth disengagement? Last I checked and from what they’ve said in investor calls, daily active users are still (!!) growing. If I were a streamer that gets $ from donations, I should really target 18+ anyway, who are old enough to have a credit card.

Also, it seems like FB Gaming numbers are really taking off, partly due to signing some big names from Twitch. [1]

Lastly, they actually do support gamertags, but I’m iffy on the anonymity concept being a negative here. Twitch has a problem with some toxic chats, users making throwaway accounts to get around ban, etc. If I were a streamer, this would be a great alternative for me to build a community with less overhead in managing the toxic parts.

All in all, it doesn’t have to be a “winner-take-all”; it’s nice to have some healthy competition in the market, even if the only folks that can do it are the biggest players (Amazon / Google / Facebook.) I’m just _really_ surprised that Microsoft couldn’t make Mixer work despite the tight Xbox integrations.

Apple's chips haven't supported that yet, so it's certainly something new.
I don't think it's possible without making development a nightmare. Apple have committed publicly to keeping macOS Unix like and iOS touch based.
Apple is known for charging a huge markup on hardware like RAM, GPU, SSD, etc. I really doubt that an ARM desktop is going to be significantly cheaper than an equivalent Intel machine (especially for use cases like gaming and ML)
Well, lots of streamers really don't like Twitch. But Mixer was a downgrade for most people in terms of features and functionality. Same situation with YouTube - a lot of content creators aren't happy with it, but everything else out there is just a worse version of YT. The bigger, older platforms have a lot of momentum.

How do you know it was for Intel?
Whatever it is, it's going to be insanely expensive. That's just guaranteed.

Honestly it's probably just better to use a larger conventional rocket. Yes in theory the nuclear engine might be more mass-efficient, but it won't be more cost-efficient, and that's really what engineering optimizes for.

This is something SpaceX is proving to be really good at that others, e.g. Robert Zubrin, just don't get. He keeps proposing alternatives to the Starship design that, while more physically efficient, would actually cost a lot more money overall to do the same job.
>>Legally speaking, if you find a bug and abuse it (to e.g. extract data), you're breaking the law; I know people don't want to hear it and want to protect whistleblowers, but it's factually illegal to steal data like this.

I dont think anyone is saying it was not illegal are they? but just because it is illegal does not resolve the security issue at the service provider

If I leave my home unlocked it is still illegal for you to steal my TV but you can bet my insurance company is going to give me crap (if not deny my claim out right) due to my negligence for not securing my property

>>That's what whistleblowing is all about though; purposefully breaking the law or a contract (like an NDA) to expose shit.

It can, but not always, and in the case of true whistleblowing there are laws in place that would provide an affirmative defense to otherwise illegal acts (like breaking an NDA). This is akin to self defense. Murder is always illegal but self defense is an affirmative legal defense one can use to justify their action making them "not guilty" of the law under those special circumstances. Whistle blowing as a few of these affirmative defenses as well

I think some of that stems from the fact that Steve Jobs was saying his own words, but everyone else is saying marketing's words. The best marketing could do to Steve was tell him that he's using a competing's brand name incorrectly. Everything else was his. So he could speak passionately in his own words.

Everyone else is acting, but they aren't actors.
I'm personally much more worried about the power Apple will gain from switching their hardware to ARM. This gives them such immense power, allowing them to create an even stronger walled garden environment. For all we know they could force the system to only run Mac OS?

Is this goodbye to choosing your own operating system now? Are the only people Apple cares about web and app developers? Are kernel engineers forgotten about?
What about low-level hackers who like to tinker with their hardware or poke around in UEFI?

I'm more worried than excited about this.
> power modern web experiences

So they're going to expect me to leave a major malware and privacy-invasion vector open so they can indulge in creating their 'web experiences'.

Nope. This sounds like kids playing around, not professionals working.
Few people seem to be able to cope with post 16 education. It’s amazing the number of children who try to shoe horn University into their lives. It’s not elitist, it’s just hard. It’s meant to be.
People in high crime neighborhoods rightly regard the police as the enemy, because the police treat them as the enemy. Giving the enemy better intel is never desirable.
> having a mobile browser that syncs your history and bookmarks over from your desktop browser of choice is arguably more important than having a choice in browser engines.

> Let's hope nuclear rockets become a commercial reality before they become a military tool

I realize this is a very touchy subject, but military tools are not necessarily bad. GPS, for example, has been a great boon to society, despite being developed by and for military use.

Even weapons are not necessarily bad just because their purpose is to kill people. If we didn't develop newer and more precise weapons, we would still be using B-52s to carpet bomb cities hoping to take out the half dozen targets we care about instead of precisely excising the one bridge with a PGM with minimal casualties.

WMDs on the other hand... I don't see what good can come of those since we already have nuclear MAD.

No way. This is literally exactly what Microsoft just did, and here we have the results. Facebook can try it, and they'll fail too.

There is absolutely _zero_ chance of younger demographics moving to facebook. I'm in my 20s and know many gamers in their 20s/teens and we all avoid facebook like the plague. There's no chance.

We've seen it again and again and again-- you can't just steal away a successful business by throwing money at the problem and copying it. Look at zune, look at tidal, look at google+, look at bing, look at mixer. All either outright failed or stole at best a tiny fraction of market share.

There's so many examples of corporations trying and failing at this strategy that it's just a comic act by now.
And if they accurately predict where crime will occur, they will reduce crime in those neighborhoods. It's likely that they would be able to get good results.
Except this is not how it works. We are not accurately predicting where crimes will occur, but maximizing the amounts of arrests.

Indeed, sending a police patrol will only catch the kind of crime that happens in socio-economically disadvantaged communities, which in turn contributes to skewing the data to suggest that more crimes there, which leads to more policing, which leads to more crime, and so on.

Meanwhile, wage theft, over twice the size of all other kinds of theft put together, keeps growing year after year.

Police patrols should be entirely reactive, and not proactive. Proactive policing does not work.
There is no question that the advancement of science has been good for humanity as a whole.

Using math to improve the effectiveness of the police is a good thing. This effort - however well intended maybe - would throw out the baby with the bathwater.
Most of these look like apps, not OS enhancements.
They could have done all of that on Intel too.
Probabilistically speaking, this isn't really surprising given the number of locales, the number of reports, and the fact that there are only 1000 combinations of digits between 0 and 1000.
It's not like Apple can't change what connectors are available on the back of the mac Mini. The form factor may not have changed, but the ports available have in the past releases.

Don't be surprised if there is no Thunderbolt 3 at all, but just USB-C.
But given the amount of time they talked about how large a part native apps play into the transitions, an extremely strategically important segment for them.

Additionally, there's the Android/iOS crowd in the same boat, where emulation of non x86 in Android dev is pretty limited (but I can see that being rectified with the newer virtualization extensions).
What if you're not a partner on the other platforms, can you still stream to Facebook, Youtube, Twitch, all at the same time? Smaller streams rely heavily on chat and interactions, but 1000+ viewer streams generally don't so you don't need to read 3 different chats. You can still receive donations and maybe ad money?
AMD is tiny compared to intel, the fact that they are besting them goes to show how they have been stuck for ~5 years.

The real problem though, is that apple is actually designing a core 100% focused on the target market. Unlike intel, for whatever reason, and AMD which didn't have the funds to run a dedicated design team for laptop/desktops.

So, I would expect the engineering tradeoffs for said laptop/desktop processor to show. AKA, things like hyperthreading are quite a win for servers, but at best are a wash for a desktop use case focused on extremely high single thread perf at the expense of throughput.
The only thing iPad Pro users were hoping for was real external display support, no sign of that unfortunately.

To be honest, this entire plan looks like copy-Paste, kinda like how Star Wars Episode 7 is kinda a remake of A New hope?

Rosetta 2, Universal 2, The DTK Program demo on ARM,, it's the same plan.
good point, I wonder will they eventually open up a dev/pro mode on iPadOS and give terminal access (as it is with macOS) but protect system folders...
There are very good reasons why proactive policing leads to bad outcomes. You could read up on that before.

Predicting where you will need to send patrols is proactive policing.

I'm not sure why I continue to look forward to new Mac OS announcements every year when Apple continues to focus on consumer apps/features and not pro/developer features. Literally nothing in that preview page excites me as someone that uses Mac OS mainly for developing software. I wish they would use WWDC to announce developer and pro features and not consumer OS features.

I don't really care for the UI changes, but I spend such little time in the UI that I guess it doesn't matter much. The iOS-ification of Mac OS is an unfortunate change. I don't use any of the built-in apps with the exception of terminal.app and finder. Meh.

Most interesting: This appears to be the end of "OS X" as version was listed as "11.0" in the keynote.

Will Big Sur and Mac OS (beyond OS X) continue to be certified UNIX?
MS already did that by paying Ninja ~30M to stream on mixer originally. He averaged like 2K viewers. They did the same with shroud with the same result. Now Ninja and shroud are supposedly being paid out in full for their contracts and are free to sign with any platform.

Why offer them a second massive truckload of money when the first truckload fundamentally did not work.
Where did it say x86?

Tell me: if a business owner has put all their life's savings into running a business, and comes one day to find it burned down by a mob, what is the likelihood that person will ever be able to return to any semblance of a normal life? What is the likelihood of despair, suicide, turning to drugs or alcohol?

It is very much a harm, as real and as tangible as those who receive physical injury, and just as much a threat to their lives.

EDIT: I've not reported your posts. I'd rather have a frank discussion regarding these and similar claims than to try to have them removed for perceived offensiveness.
Oh, I see.

So blocking still executes asynchronously (perhaps spawning a thread or something, so the program can continue on), but setting eventing will use an event-based mechanism?
Mac is not currently a closed platform however and making it closed would be a gamble on Apple's part - far from certain they will succeed like they did with iOS. Your logic implies they are closing it down and that will lead to more monetization. That's not a given. We don't know that they will take that gamble yet - assuming they won't, the only way to make more money on the Macs is selling more of them - sales have been fairly stagnant on the Mac side btw.
This site and its scroll-hijacking are unusably choppy on my 2018 Macbook Air. It seems like a total departure from Apple's attention to detail, but maybe that's a gentle reminder that Apple considers this computer to be EOL hardware.

Tech specs on the DTK webpage don’t mention Thunderbolt at all, just USB-C (2 ports) and USB-A (2 ports), plus a HDMI 2.0 port.

Makes me wonder how the Pro Display used in the demos was being driven. DisplayPort with USB-C alternate mode?
That's exactly my point though. For me personally, the more relatable celebrities are, the less they are able to create the distance and mystique that is in my opinion the foundation of what celebrity is.

I think most people want to continue to be able to pretend that their favorite celeb doesn't have bad breath in the morning, binge watches bad TV or leaves their dirty towel on the floor in the bathroom.
Using math to improve the effectiveness of police is not necessarily a good thing, because this kind of works really works to perpetuate proactive policing and over-policing, as well as encodes bias.

Not a one of the rest of us could figure out how to do it quickly. The stress of needing to be quick might have also played a part. I’m sure I could figure it out without the pressure, but in the moment, it was impossible to figure out what button did what.

iOS 14 Will Let Users Set Third-Party Browser and Mail Apps as Default
>> As to why it never really went mainstream, it's a matter of wrong place, wrong time. It didn't help that the language needed a checkpointing mechanism (referred to as 'cuts', and represented by '!') because the unification mechanism could get confused and do much more work than it needed to, so developers needed to put cuts in place to tell the interpreter where it could avoid backtracking to try more solutions within a Horn clause.

Prolog backtracks when there are more solutions to a goal (think of a goal as a query). Not because "unification gets confused". Unification doesn't have anything to do with backtracking, rather backtracking is a mechanism to represent the natural nondeterminism of logic theories, where multiple variable instantiations ("bindings") might satisfy a formula.

So, when you enter a query at the Prolgo top-level (the console) Prolog will try to find a set of variable bindings that refute your query in the context of your loaded program. If it can, it will report "false", i.e. the query cannot be satisfied in the context of the program. If it can't, it will report "true", i.e. the query can be satisfied in the context of the program and it will also report the variable bindings that make the query true. If there are more than one sets of bindings that make the query true, you can ask for more solutions. At that point Prolog will backtrack and give you more solutions.

However, there is nothing forcing your program to be written so as to produce multiple solutions to a query. It's entirely up to you and how you write your program. You can write a program so that it's deterministic (succeeds or fails exactly once) or not. The cut (!/0) is one way to force a program to become deterministic, but again that's not because anything gets confused. It's because sometimes it's hard to write a program so as for it to be deterministic. And sometimes you just have no idea why your program backtracks and you pepper your code with cuts, hoping it will stop.

Which of course happens less and less as you get to understand how the language works (and why it's a bad idea to put cuts everywhere in the first place).

(It's a bad idea because it means you don't understand how your own program works. Nine times out of ten you don't need to use it when you think you do).

(But I still use the cut all the bloody time because it's convenient).
