I'm no expert, but I think that a lot of the GPU speedup has come through massively parallel execution rather than processor/bus/memory speed. NVidia's Quadro TRX 8000, for example, has 4,608 CUDA cores, 576 Tensor cores, and 72 RT cores. I don't know what all those do, but they are certainly doing a lot of it in parallel!
Doable, although annoying to configure correctly. Beneficial if you want to obscure your identity from the second VPN server (i.e. Twitter's, in this case, which ought to be logging connections)
Spotify pays independent artists (that aren't part of large negotiated artist pools from seriously major labels) poorly.

Indie artists are sinking more into getting their songs promoted on playlists than they gain in streaming revenue in return. It's literally "pay to be played"

(Remember "Pay to Play" in Sunset Strip clubs in the 80's? You would literally front the money for renting the club on a Tuesday or Thursday and then sell tickets and hope to pay off your "concert" (Friday/Saturday had music the club actually booked & paid, hence their "reputation" was solid)

Anyway, I severely resent the massive influence these relatively new corporate overlords have had in reducing the value of music significantly.

BANDCAMP is one suggested remedy, as they take their (relatively small, I think its' around 10%?) cut from your sales and allow you to have your bands page and sub-domain "yourband.bandcamp.com" etc... in other words: they treat you respectfully as humans should treat other humans.

This race to the bottom can only end in more Aututuned Pop, lol...

Ben gurion. Arthur Ruppin. Golda Meir. Kleizmer, eugenics and pathos. Israel did a fantastic job of milking the world’s empathy while committing horrible crimes. Also, nothing to do with Zionism. Hertzl, a proud ethnic Jew (Sephardi), despised the Eastern European mob that would eventually take Zionism over and Judaism and turn it into a farce.
FWIW I’ve been a python and javascript dev for a long time. I’ve spent this year learning Rust and I’m kind of in love with the whole “it’s just a struct and here are some associated functions” thing. It feels so simple and clear.

I also really liked C#’s “single inheritance plus interfaces”. That was also an eye opening moment.
Indeed, some of it is in banks in tax havens such as Ireland and Singapore. They are also in the form of US treasury bills bought through their offshore entities in the same havens. So I guess at least some money does make it back to the US ;-)
It's not clear what exactly they mean by cold start. I just ran a simple test with a worker returning hardcoded html without external requests (on a free plan):

1. First run: time_starttransfer: 0.507267s

2. Second run: time_starttransfer: 0.035244s

So it looks like at least some parts of the cold start taking much longer and aren't eliminated.
Should we make homeowners equally criminally liable when burglars break in? Certainly if the homeowner had been less lax or obtained more security, that burglary could have been prevented.
I don’t want to own physical media of anything, anymore. Just the thought of it feels constraining to my and other people’s lifestyles.
I'm with you 100%. This "the 40 hour work week is too long" stuff doesn't resonate with me at all. For some people, hustling is what makes them happy.

I wish it was easier to do intensive tracking of everything like that, but it's definitely a lot of work. Some supplements I have very clear before+after results, with the only probable cause being the supplement (e.g. vitamin D or magnesium), but a lot of others are hard to test, control for, find biomarkers for, etc.

I do know there are a few people in the area that log literally every substance they eat in terms of grams, and then correlate it with all of their blood metrics, and use that to try to optimize each blood metric for what correlates with the lowest mortality rate. It's interesting, but this stuff is unfortunately a lot of work for average people to attempt. Here's a great example: https://twitter.com/Nearcyan/status/1282042301980835842
Perpetual means they can indefinitely deliver as many designs as they want using the ISA they licensed. Not "perpetual for everything ARM present and future". It's similar to the perpetual multi-use license except the holder has more freedom with the modifications and customized designs. All other licenses are time limited.

And again, the terms of the license may vary. I have the impression that Apple has a far more permissive license than anyone else out there for example.
It seems that they mixed the stolen bitcoins with bitcoins that they withdrew from Coinbase. So law enforcement probably knew who they were from day 1. I feel that this is the time it took them to put together a case.

More appropriate analogy:

Let say Apple is BMW, and when you buy BMW your gas tank has a proprietary connector that will work only on BP gas stations.
You can choose different gas there (different octane number, etc.), but you can't tank at e.g. Statoil.
There's a lot of art out there in the world. A whole, whole lot.

If you want to make something artistically creative for people to watch, listen to, or read, you are competing with Mozart, the Beatles, Edgar Allen Poe, Tolkien, and countless other prodigies. Artistic creations made by individuals are a winner-takes-all market where a small fraction of the creators enjoy the majority of the revenue. Artistic creations made by large groups are somewhat fairer (but still often on the low end) in their compensation, if you manage to out compete other job applicants and get the job.

Regardless of whether you as an individual treat art as a commodity, you have to square your viewpoint as a artist with the fact that you have to put bread on the table. Society will very likely reward you very poorly for your artistic contributions.
Breaking and entering requires breaking.

Sending packets is peaceful speech.
Prank hacking would fit with the monetization when combined with statements of "who would be dumb enough" that underestimates stupidity like the whole charge your iPhone in the microwave or Soupy Sales' "send in all of the green paper in your parents wallets" not thinking people would actually do it. Plenty of precedent but easy to see why they would feel no responsibility for anyone mindbogglingly stupid enough to do so.
It is free market not dictatorship.
The guys have a very long history of scams, with $700 000 seized before this twitter thing it seems.

That money is very much destroyed for the people whom it was stolen from.
Correctamundo! This is an argument between a government sanctioned "artist association"(it's really record label manager association) and Google. No artist is part of this at all.

But Danish musicians are still free to host their own music on YouTube, this argument affects only the unlicensed use of music in third party videos.
> And when developers are forced to support all 5 big ones?

That is a big assumption. Who is the forcing agent here you are positing? The whole point of making app stores a multiagent game is to reduce the leverage of one to force things on developers and consumers.

> If the remedy for Apple picking winners is more stores, then it just means all of the big players will get to pick winners.

For this to happen as bad as today a) they all will need to see a benefit in picking winners b) they all will need to pick precisely the same winners.

The whole point of competition is giving power back to the end users (both app consumers and developers) in the form of choice. Any downside you mention is a competitive advantage first and app stores will have to synchronize hard and tight to forgo that to build a cartel against the users and developers (mind you they would also need to build precisely the same products with nothing to differentiate). And at its worst they still wouldn’t be worse than today’s single monopoly.
That's not how it works, apps follow what customers want - Android exists and apps go trough play store and Google payment.
Yeah back in the day the pursuit of happiness used to be a vice, hedonism almost. Now it's seen as the ultimate life purpose, wtf.

While the toolkit certainly has an influence on all core apps that are part of GNOME, the shell is entirely independent of GTK. So, highly unlikely there will be a GNOME 4 any time soon.
As long as this is disclosed to the customer up-front and as long as you can buy a different car to a BMW, then I do not have any moral objection to this.

I admit I probably wouldn't buy such a car myself as I don't see any advantages. I do see advantages to the Apple model - simplicity and cleanliness. If you disagree then you should probably do as I would with the BMW - buy something else instead.

I'm a iOS tweak developer and the way the App Store is ran is fantastic as it prevents people like me from posting our tweaks to the main store as in my opinion a regular person shouldn't be installing tweaks or jailbreaking their device as if they install a bad tweak or fuck up their device they should know how to navigate the command line to fix it. Jailbreaking is cool but if you don't know what you are doing you shouldn't do it.

There are plenty of 3rd party app stores for the iPhone/iPad that anyone can access with out jailbreaking, Ignition (https://ignition.fun), TuTuApp (https://tutuapp-app.org), TweakBox (https://www.tweakboxapp.com), I'm probably missing more but they do exist. But they're sketchy and ad filled. They do how ever allow anyone to install semi-untethered jailbreaking software like Unc0ver and Electra.

That being said Apple taking 30% cut in revenue is way too much in my view and the way it's set up could be better.
>but Tiktok is known for being a whole other level spyware.

Somehow grabbing your IMEI is "whole other level of spyware" than Facebook, who had an app that was analyzing all the traffic sent through your phone.

It depends on how many laws with felony consequences each broke.

> But given the topic, I'm guessing he was stalked and harassed by people for whom this topic is a survival issue. So they did their best to make it a survival issue for him.

There's a problem with this approach. If research that produces the "wrong" results gets silenced, it's little more than a sockpuppet for the ruling ideology, and people will justifiably ignore it when they realize this.

I say "if", but it's already the case. When a study gives results that agree with whatever is being pushed, it's publicized in the strongest of terms, it "shows" or "proves" or "confirms" something. If it disagrees, it's rarely mentioned, and downplayed to a mere "oh it's complicated, more research needs to be done, many questions still open...". That is if the study even gets funded in the first place, for fear it might give results we don't want.

They'd still have to pay 21% on it. They're probably waiting for a tax holiday like the one in 2004 where companies could bring back cash at a 5.25% tax rate.
Bands toured like crazy in the 70's. Led Zeppelin II was written and recorded on the road. (technically that was the 60s, tho)

I think you have the causality backwards. Because CDs were a longer format, they enabled bands to take longer tours before having to release another album.
Terminal with transparent or even blurred background is very doable. I've done it on my i3-gaps and urxvt setup both with urxvt's "fake" transparency and by using a compositor.
"Don't ask your family to be the _source_ of happiness."

I think investing in a family means seeing their happiness and successes and flourishing as one of the sources of your happiness.

And working a job to make money to give them an environment where they can grow and thrive and flourish can be part of that happiness, even if the job itself is kind of "meh".

(And if that's not something that motivates you, then, yeah, probably best not to start a family.)
ARM doesn't manufacture chips, they license ARM Processor 'designs'.

ARM is more of a household name for their use in mobile phones but that is just the tip of the iceberg.

I think you underestimate how many ARM chips you have in a single car or delivery truck.

Add to that:

- farming machinery

- construction machinery

- factory line automation

- elevators, escalators

- EV chargers

- fridges, washing machines, ovens

- medical devices such as drug-infusion pumps, ventilators, surgical machinery, etc.

- Auxiliary modules in aeroplanes and shipping containers.

- Infrastructure for Road, Rail, Power Grid with ARM processors running headless embedded systems

- Anything the size of a pebble with bluetooth connectivity uses nordic's nRF chip (which is yet again an ARM chip)

ARM processors are hiding in plain sight in the world all around you.

I understand the point you make, from a business standpoint, on how Tiktok might scale. The thing that is bizarre for me and I agree with the parent's sentiment, is how disconnected the valuation is from the real-world impact and objective _usefulness_ of ARM versus Tiktok.

Edit: bullet points
You can do already do whatever you want with your phone from the point you receive it in the condition Apple sell it to you.

But you cannot require that Apple do work to build support for third-party app stores. Property rights do not extend to forcing other people to do labour for you.

If your phone doesn't come with support for third-party stores when you buy it then I don't see how it would be your right to have that feature added.
Based on the Spotify revenue model my favourite artist might make a few dollars off me over our entire lifetimes. This is not enough to sustain all but the biggest artists. I am happy to contribute more to smaller artists I appreciate. Seeing them on tour, buying CDs, buying merch, patreon type models and even straight up contributions on paypal and venmo. I've been buying a couple hundred bucks worth every bandcamp Friday since the start of covid. It is not just Spotify, none of the streaming fremium music subscription services provide me an effective way to support the artists I like.

Cory Doctorow points the way in Information Doesn’t Want to Be Free talking about future models for artists to make a living. It might superficially seem like the Spotify CEO is saying the same things but this is just cover for the gatekeepers to keep an unconscionable share for themselves.
More than any of the others, Apple at least tries to have values. Not everyone agrees with them. But I challenge anyone to identify a positive value mainstream America would associate with Microsoft, Google or Facebook.

The people arguing that gender is a social construct are arguing about a completely different field from human biology per se. Even his remarks about biology per se look ill informed to me. On top of that, he seems to make zero effort to make any distinction between sex and gender.

Him insisting he's right is sort of like someone dismissing Freud's theories based on "I have a PhD in physics, damn it!"

Good for you. And irrelevant.
Thank you for a great job! Keep doing it! By the way, organic economy already starts growing around Runaroo. E.g. I'm already spending thousands dollars (and I'm going to spend much more over time, and this takes place in Europe where normal salaries are not as high as in the US) on things and services I order from local non-IT companies whose web sites I've found with Runnaroo. I hope we can break the Google's monopoly and sort of divert some cash flow from bullshit SEO and spyware marketers to real people.
There are many complaints but there doesn't seem to be a real movement to make/use/cultivate small and fast software for all purposes.

Glucosamine concentrations in plasma and synovial fluid increased significantly from baseline levels […] but the levels are still ten- to a hundredfold lower than required to positively affect the cartilage (chondrocytes) to build new tissue”

Depends on how you define the victim.

One could argue that the victims in this case are the people whose profiles had been hacked.

As for having full blown security getting in the way of getting stuff done, try replacing "Twitter" with "Equifax", a company that handles arguably more sensitive data and should have the "full blown security" you mentioned.

You're not taking into account any of the strategic value to Microsoft. Like how they can integrate LI Sales Navigator into Dynamics to compete with Salesforce, etc.
> It's simply not runway at this point

Not saying it is.

The last time Apple’s culture was re-forged, runway was an existential priority for Steve. It remained a priority for the rest of his life. As such, it remains one today. Call it a ritual, if you like; an act once practical, now maintained for being part of a culture.

The limitless alternative to amassing cash piles is returning it to shareholders. Apple does that, but it is averse to accelerating its pace.
The market already takes care of all of these things:

1. Society does see value in arts and rewards them commensurately. But democratic access to the arts means that those who are regarded good by the many are rewarded by many and those who are regarded good by the few are rewarded by few. Nothing seems wrong about this to me. Free people give Kanye more money than Killswitch Engage. And as for the liberal arts, if you're Karl Popper you'll live a productive life. If you're Joe Schmoe the Philosopher-Barista then maybe you're not going to reach his heady heights but that's because you're not as useful to me.

2. Each person has a concept of what you value. If you would go into lifelong debt to know about Kierkegaard, then so be it. Good for you! You have that option.

3. You shouldn't expect anything but the same fair shot anyone should be given at life. If we have surplus money and we wish to spend money on people who want to paint, then we will. If we don't, we won't. And we will be fickle. Adapt or die. Your business model is not my problem.
This a little misleading, as it's hard to imagine Apple making zero revenue well, ever. They could possibly be losing money, but there is no plausible scenario where they lose that much money. It's hard to imagine a scenario where they lose even an order of magnitude less money than that.
They technically also violated every single person they hacked, which includes the previous president of the united states, large company such as apple, and the upcoming presidential candidate.

Now imagine not only the 17yo stole 100k from the bank, but also entered the houses of people such as Obama and Biden, and potentially stole documents from their desks.
