Fully agree with this sentiment - if there is anything which becomes so common place like say a road, then I think there should be some kind of oversight.

Apple saying no to people being able to bring their own payment provider feels akin to saying the road provider only allows cars they vet, and then charge 30% car manufacturers 30% of the price of the car.
Instagram and TikTok have been found guilty on collecting an absurd amount of data against user's wishes. How did Apple's policy prevent that? Also I don't see Apple banning TikTok or Instagram.
It would be a lot like that. There's a mindset shift to thinking of arrays as geometric objects to manipulate in space instead of as boundaries on valid indices. One of my favorite examples is computing a moving average over some vector of input data. Instead of thinking about looping over each sub-range to find its average, and having that nested inside a loop over possible sub-ranges, you can build a 2D array whose rows are time-shifted versions of the original 1D array. Sum that column-wise and divide by the number of rows to get your answer.

Understanding how you can build that iteration space as reified data gives you a lot more expressive power than you get from remembering that `|.` means "rotate." It's easy to look up which symbol corresponds to a chosen operation (and you'll memorize the ones you use a lot anyhow).
True, in my country it is mostly forbidden. Essentially it is only allowed when living abroad and even then voting via the embassy is preferred.

Why? Because when you and you alone go into the voting booth, take that red pencil, and tick the box, it is guaranteed you and you alone who casts that vote. You can only be allowed by two other people to vote for them. We also have no voting computers so maybe my country is just old fashioned.

In any case, if something needs to chance in the USA it is far too late for that. The current elections cannot be allowed to be compromised so voting by mail should be facilitated.

As a Russian who generally thinks that both Russia and NATO need to back down from the pissing contests they engage in...

Yes, it was wrong. Ukraine was done wrong by it. It was not done legally. Even if it was done with respect to the doctrine of self-determinism (I generally approve of secessionist movements), it was not done correctly. There are correct means of going about secession, and the War in Donbass was not one of them. It was a thin pretense for other geopolitical ambitions.

This is a good article, I would add to the key takeaway is that methane production from animal husbandry is mostly a closed system, the greenhouse gases being produced by cows are being absorbed from the atmosphere. atmosphere -> photosynthesis in grass -> cows -> atmosphere -> grass etc. So reducing herd sizes doesn't reduce net carbon in the atmosphere.

I can only say I agree. I don't want more actors in the appstore market. I prefer quality over quantity.
It seems strategically stupid to cut off the company developing the engine that a lot of iOS games use to run from development tools. It's almost as if they want iOS to be the worst platform to develop for.

As an iOS user, I hope Apple's stranglehold on the platform gets destroyed. I didn't practically care for the longest time, but I'm starting to lose self-respect here.
While it's true that almost all computers these days use "general purpose computer hardware" (x86/ARM CPU, GPU of some kind, fast RAM, slower disk, networking, etc), that's not the same thing as being a "general purpose device".

A quick search for the term "general purpose device" gives me definitions such as the following:

Any computer-based device that accepts different applications.

With this definition in mind, I say that a general purpose device is one that you expect to be able to use for general computer tasks, factoring in the "out of the box" input and output methods included with that device. On a Roku, since I have only a simple remote, I do not expect to be able to write an email. However, on an iPhone, with it's touch screen keyboard, I do expect to be able to type out an email. Likewise, I don't expect to be able to edit pictures and video on a Nintendo switch (even though it can record pictures and video of games) since all you have are controllers, while on an iPhone I do expect to be able to edit videos and pictures. It is the breadth of tasks supported by the hardware and made easy by the input methods that make a device "general purpose".
Home schooling. We live in one of the better school districts in the region (and pay dearly for it), and we were pretty displeased with the public schools already.

Between politics being increasingly injected into public school curriculum, lack of ability to come up with a workable solution during COVID19, and just overall poor performance of the program we've had enough and have decided to opt out.

Luckily we're able to afford having my spouse be a stay at home parent, and we plan to move to get out of the high COL associated with the supposedly great schools.

> In particular, a blue-collar community's school does not have to be a "bad school".

There's little evidence that they generally are, is my point. Once you control for individual factors that contribute to student success outside of the school they go to, there's very little evidence that differences between schools have much effect.
Agree completely. I think Vanguard's UI is trying to send the message "if you're logging in you're doing it wrong".
You're not immortal, you still need to eat and stay warm and get medical care. In fact if anything now the stakes are even higher to achieve a certain sustainable dollar amount so that you can 'retire' (i.e. live sustainably off passive income for a million years).
People claim that burning biomass is a net-zero effect on the climate because whatever get burned had once collected the carbon from the air. Then we have people arguing that cows are one of the main contributor to global warming because we feed them grass. In cases with produce that get rejected for once reason or an other, it may either go into animal feed or biomass depending on who is paying the more, and thus the greenness of it changes drastically.

So why are counting the methane from cows in isolation, while biomass is the sum of carbon released minus carbon extracted?
I’d rather live somewhere where petty theft, homelessness, public drug use, and dirtiness are less of an issue and where COL is much lower if they’re both equally as boring.

And good for you! I admittedly don’t have many roots. Most people I know who are leaving are those who were renting and didn’t have kids.

Eh, I don't know. I think they've got a lot of positive momentum. I would bet generously on their future.

* I despise fortnite. I don't know if it has longevity. But it's pretty damn ambitious and is closer to the metaverse than anyone has gotten in a frustrating sort of way

* Unreal Engine is getting better by the day, is very dev friendly, and is likely going to grow in popularity as some of it's neat-o UE5 features take yet another chunk out of the pain of game dev for indies. Unity feels like takes one step forward, one step back every update.

* Their app store has been on a roll lately with lots of games for free that I actually want to play(Civ 6, Overcooked, Total War Troy, Killing Floor 2, Torchlight, 20xx, Remnant, Enter the Gungeon). I've basically switched all of my attention from Steam to Epic and would probably purchase from there over steam if a game were available on both for the same price. The UI is worse, the networking client is worse, and the store pages are less informative; however I find their library of games to feel relatively well curated whereas steam has pages of crap that you need to sift through to find anything.
I'm wondering how doable it would be to make such a mesh network but using LoRaWAN instead, and ensuring privacy using E2EE.

That'd be a nice project to work on.
Which NFC? Almost no laptop has nfc reader. I am not sure if the situation is different with PCs.
I cannot visit the site either so I ask it here. How does a wifi card work? Mounting of the file system is a host concept. How can a SD card let the host know its contents have been updated?
Isn't that extremely coincidental that they all just stumbled upon that same 30%? I'm sure there is no collusion whatsoever.
...just don't use other app stores?

Honest question, what do you lose by other people having the option?
You can run Xcode. Basically anyone can run Xcode. But distributing software on the Mac is another matter.

Epic could try distributing unsigned, giving users instructions on how to bypass Gatekeeper, which is possible.
The movies are probably watermarked, so they'd know who leaked them, and then sue the leakers for all they're worth.
> That's a misleading question, because on other platforms you can choose to avoid the store.

That's definitely not true. You cannot run unsigned code on most video game consoles.

And for PC game marketplaces, those platforms still have market power. Surely there's a big difference between being banned from Steam and being banned from the Discord Store.

I think the idea behind this ban (could be wrong) is that Apple wants to be the main (only?) app-based curator of apps. It lets them control the narrative and flow of money.

a senior IC role at $BIGCO pays $500-750K/yr starting

At age 30:

This is really only at Facebook and Netflix. Its more like 375-450k at Google/Amazon/MSFT/smaller tech companies.

Facebook and Netflix together definitely employ less than 40k engineers. Of which, no more than 10,000 are ICs with starting comp greater than 500k.

So youre really talking about 10k people between those two companies, throw in the other FAANG, and its less than 40k people.

Of those people, few have the well rounded ability to start a tech company and launch a product end to end, with the sales, product, design, tech etc.

Your post makes no sense and is talking about unicorns that dont really exist.
It's kind of like saying Redis is just an dict. The optimizations in the entire software/hardware stack is what makes these innovations possible. A C implementation would not work in reality for large models.
As a developer with interested in neural-net based ML, my eyes start to glaze over a bit when I see so much crazy-looking numpy operations even just to get a trivial representation of data.

I guess it's just something I have to get used to, but I wish there was an interface to do the same nd-array based logic that was designed more for developers like me rather than data scientists who perform surgery on 50d arrays all day long.

The Importance of Online Reviews: 50 Key Statistics to Know (2020)
> Online gambling is illegal but you can have an app to punt the market all day

That is an argument for making Online gambling legal. (I fully support it).
It's 410 GB/s peak for DDR5. The "up to 800 GB/s sustained" is for GDDR6 and POWER10 isn't slated to ship until Q4 2021 so it isn't really a direct comparison with hardware that was deployed in 2019.
I'd imagine there's a spectrum of "retaliation clauses" that includes acceptable things and unacceptable things, and that whatever is happening in the App Store is pretty different than withholding water from someone who would die without it.

Epic may be smaller than Apple, but they are by no means a "little guy".
Internet Explorer didn't have dominant market share; Windows did. You say the problem wasn't that a program came bundled with software, but that was literally the heart of the antitrust action: the government contended that Microsoft was using their defacto operating system monopoly of Windows to give IE a leg up on non-bundled competitors.

> An iPhone without apps just doesn't work.

Sure, but an iPhone without an App Store works fine -- that was literally the way the first iPhone shipped, remember? -- so I'm not quite sure your analogy is a slam dunk here. :)

That's a really interesting idea. Could you go into detail about how you're searching for similar texts using GPT?

It's true that the probability distribution is a sort of "edit distance". And GPT has already been used for text compression: https://bellard.org/nncp/gpt2tc.html so it seems not too far of a stretch to use it for similarity matching.

(Sure, perhaps there are more efficient or more effective techniques than using GPT for this, but I like the idea and am curious how it works.)

They can still build and test on-device, they just won't be able to publish anything to the app store.

> I grew up in an exburb of what, at the time, was a 3rd rate city so I sort of understand what you went through. That said, it wasn't hard for my family to expose me to big cities via travel. I definitely missed out on college prep, but that was a failure of my family's culture and not something I would blame on my location. I was actually able to rise to the top(state electronics competition) thanks to being a big fish in a small pond. In most major cities I never would have gotten that far.

Your kids will be living a lonely lifestyle. People don't live in rural areas and still manage to do lots of travel, have a great education, and so forth. Your kids will be the exception... I grew up in smaller towns (4,000 7+ years, 5,000 6+ years, 20,000 3 years) that were 3+ hours from a major city. I had never even visited the city before I was 18 because my parents couldn't afford traveling. I don't think my experience was too uncommon.

And education? Eh - real bad. At least in a major city you have a choice between a few schools and you could theoretically find a nice private school too.

> But what I realize that I missed was the knowledge of how big the world was. I thought going to the local state college was "making it." I didn't understand how the world worked or what was possible. I missed out on opportunities because I didn't realize that I should be looking for them.

This hits it on the head. If you grow up in a region without opportunity, you just don't know that it exists elsewhere.

The biggest problem I had with living in rural areas was the lack of opportunity. I was always taking the most "advanced" classes - but at schools in cities - I found out I was barely keeping up. Even then, many classes weren't offered at my schools because there just wasn't the demand and/or sufficient funding (I went to an unusually poor school district - we only went to school 4 days a week because it was so poor). This translated to a very poor transition to entering a very competitive college and a very competitive city life. I grew up not having to work as hard to compete and then suddenly being wildly underprepared for the global market I was entering where most of the people I was working with were from wealthy families, grew up in major cities, and had a world class education at every stage of their life. It's not like all those people had horrible anxiety either... A lot of them were happy at all stages of their life. The ones with the anxiety I think were like me - ones who had never had this much competition and were feeling so far behind.

Now I'm trying to make it but without all the background built up that would help me succeed. It's a lonely path that I don't know any doing on their own. I know one person from a similar background as mine and in the bay area but if they weren't married to an incredible human being - I don't know if they'd be here. Even then, they struggle and they feel it comes back to their more rural roots.

You’re certainly not speaking for me and the many many devs that were harmed by Apple’s arbitrary application of rules. I also want so see people get wild and creative with apps. This doesn’t happen if you’re pre-censoring because you’re unsure if Apple would allow the app.

State-of-the-art NLP models for text classification without annotated data
Investing presumes you already have money. This may not even be feasible for the majority of Americans; according to [0], 69% of Americans have less than $1,000 in savings.

Let's say that I can save $1200/year for 10 years with an interest rate of 8%... After 10 years, it would have grown by about $5k. Some CEOs make that much in a day or week off of the exploitation of their workers.

I would spend ten years, a whole decade!! And this assumes that it goes smoothly with no emergencies, no medical expenses, and wage growth keeps up with cost of living.. All these things that don't happen in real life. After all, everything that's required to live (the bare necessities) costs money, which eats away at my savings while making someone with already a lot of money even richer.

If you take reality into account, I think it's a pipedream for people of lower socioeconomic statuses to be able to climb the economic ladder into a higher class.

Again, I'm trying to illustrate how there's very little positive vertical movement for the majority of people.
