> In particular I've definitely looked at AMDGPU.jl recently, but as the page says: "not all features (and especially performance) are up to par with CUDA.jl" - hence my impression of AMD being a second-class citizen.

That just takes developer time to fix. Currently it’s basically just a one-man show.
I started with x86 Asm and was exposed to C and Pascal at roughly the same time (as well as XPL0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XPL0 , which is described as a mix of the two but is really like "C with Pascal syntax"), and much prefer the brevity of the C syntax. I suspect that's the reason a lot of other languages also adopted it.
IANAL, but I think the strategy epic will use is called tying in anti-trust law. That means obtaining an unfair advantage for one line of business by requiring its use in another line of business. The android app market is big in numbers, even bigger than the number of iPhones, and therefore it may be difficult to call the App Store a monopoly. In Epic’s case, while the App Store may or may not be a monopoly, forcing anyone who uses the App Store to use Apple’s payment services as well may be the illegal part in the eyes of the court.
They can, and should, do both.

Curly braces designate scope in C like languages:

std::cout << i << std::endl;
if (1) {
int i = 200;

std::cout << i << std::endl;

They don't seem to serve such a purpose in Pytov. Eyeballing the source, it looks like you'd get this:

i = 100

i = 200

So what's the point?
Minecraft has arguably evolved into its own "platform" with people building and sharing their own worlds (some on Minecraft's own managed Realms, many not) and tons of third-party games built on top of Minecraft accessible to the public. Fortnite may evolve in this direction some day, but it hasn't yet.
How would Fortnite treat a user who violated their TOS — intentionally and with maliciousness aforethought?
Note that many experts have serious reservations about Savory's claims.

RFC 200, by Nathan Wiger: Revamp tie to support extensibility
As usual in these corporate pissing matches, those harmed are the customers. Neither Epic nor Apple come out looking particularly good. Epic's publicity stunt amounts to a marketing ploy and an attempt at hardball negotiation of app store terms. But it does put the negative aspects of Apple's tight-fisted control of iOS software into sharp focus and demonstrates why consumers should be wary of total platform control by a vendor.

Stuck in the middle is anyone who enjoys[1] playing Fortnite on their iPhone. I would love to see some kind of class action against both Apple and Epic if Fortnite becomes unusable on iOS as a result of this contract dispute.

[1] Disclaimer: I think Fortnite sucks, but customers don't deserve to be used as pawns in a contract negotiation.
How do you know Uber and Grab? (Grubhub?) were never rejected? You're assuming they passed every single review which I think it's highly unlikely.

Considering 40% of all submissions in the past week (shown on Apple's website) get rejected, it's entirely possible they were rejected using phone number input and after explaining to Apple their purpose, they were finally accepted. You're bound to get 1 or 2 apps erroneously rejected considering they go through 100k submissions every week.

It also says the app store team takes 1000 calls every week to discuss the rejections. It's not just you or small devs.
I'm not saying somebody should Rambo it or anything like that.

We need an equivalent of the Nuremberg Trials or the International Criminal Court but for these kinds of deliberate corporate crimes that result in mass death and destruction.
A message to the Scala OSS community
My interpretation of current ML solutions is that it's mostly brute force statistical models hoping to hit a satisfactory p-value (some implementations being more elegant in the brute force than others). The calculating power defines the limits of the finite domain you can apply the solution towards.

A simplified analogy that I believe is applicable is the application of flocking behavior in birds. Current ML implementations would demand a large dataset of groups of birds in flight, both flocking and non-flocking, and curating the correct p-value of brute-forced models that allege to predict whether behavior is flocking or not (and in the case of an individual bird whether it is appropriate flocking behavior given the individual behaviors of birds in the dataset and their circumstances). But flocking behavior is easily modeled right now, and has been for decades, using simple rules for individuals and depending upon emergent phenomena within a group.

I'm concerned that most of the ML efforts now are merely attaining the low-hanging fruits of brute force but will run into a wall that halts progress at the level of relatively "easy" things solved by worms and other comparable biological solutions since so many domains have a level of complexity that would exceed any realistically imaginable level of simple mathematical computing power.
Apple's workaround may work in US but don't think it will get very far in EU
>30% cut of a sale of a mature economy is just crazy.

That is why it isn't 30% after the first year. It is 15% for subscription based software starting year 2. As I pointed out earlier, Apple also eats credit card transaction costs (~2.5%) and the costs of collecting and paying sales tax in 50 states and 155 countries, app store personnel, servers, etc...
I moved to Pine Bluff AR a few months ago. Not going to lie, it's been quite an adventure, but the real estate was a deal I couldn't pass up.
> We have examples of this in modern society. Actual prisons where people can spend an entire lifetime.

> Most people don't commit suicide.

Eh, not so much. Most solitary confinement in modern prisons is temporary and prisons have polices to prevent suicide (that are not perfect, but are still effective to some degree). Solitary confinement, even as it exists, definitely increases suicidal ideation.
What it seems like they're saying is that Apple should operate like a car manufacturer, wherein if you put some aftermarket shite in your engine, you can't get a warranty service, and likewise if you don't do your due diligence with what you put on your PC, Apple should be able to deny service.
>> Is Nike so far ahead of every other shoe manufacturer?

From personal experience, yes. Easily. It's like comparing a Wal-Mart 'First Act' electric guitar to a Fender Stratocaster, or one of those awful Crosley turntables to a pair of Technics SL-1200s.

I have particularly sensitive feet, and ride a push scooter everywhere so cheap soles will wear quickly. I'll go through 4 pairs of $30 knockoff shoes a year instead of buying a pair of Nikes for $100 and enjoying them for three or more years. I live in Toronto and make my pilgramage to the actual Nike retail outlet in the Eaton's centre once a year to see what's new, try things on, and buy just one pair of shoes between $100-200. As a result, my closet is full of stylish, comfortable shoes that have lasted years and years. :)

YMMV, but honestly the same goes for Apple for me. I'm still using a G5 tower from 2005 with 16GB RAM and 2x1TB SSD's on the daily. I paid a couple grand for that back in the day (with about 4GB RAM originally and a 120GB HDD, I believe)...I don't have a single PC tower or laptop left except a hackintoshed Lenovo that's only a couple years old, despite buying a bunch.

Nike is not 'so far ahead' of every other shoe manufacturer, but, similar to Apple, they are only comparable in any way to similarly-priced manufacturers of their tier - Adidas, Reebok, or Microsoft Surface, Alienware.

The Surface is probably the only portable I've had the pleasure to use that is comparable to the build quality and feel of Apple's manufacturing.

Gucci, for example; is a company that represents true excess for the sake of excess. (What's that Lil' Pump line? 'Spent 10k on my Gucci bed sheets'?)

As an iOS dev for a living, I think the 30% is bullshit. But from what I've read/heard, it's based off something similar to retail margins.
Plenty of people deserve to die. Problem is we are awful at accurately knowing who those people are.

Always be wary of FBI assertions without evidence. They are fabulous liars with an agenda to make themselves more powerful and scary.
Another way to understand it is that the universe is truly "objectless" because "objects" are merely concepts in the mind of the "subject."

Non-human subjective experiencers also imagine meaningful objects in their own minds. There's nothing special about humans other than their ability to communicate with other humans.
Unfortunately 'only replace' does seem to be workable for many devices, like TVs. At most you will be replacing entire boards.
Use over US soil had been surprisingly limited, the only vendor really pushing for it is PSS and they proved to not be especially effective in selling the system after the Baltimore demonstration. It is possible that military equivalents (e.g. GORGON STARE) are being used over the US just recently but there's not a lot of evidence to that effect---but it's completely possible, the right kind of aircraft (MQ-9) has been used, it's just that the vast majority of MQ-9s are not so equipped so there's no smoking gun.

The TARS system is somewhat similar and has been used over the US but relies on a tethered balloon so it's not very mobile, I believe there are two of them, one in the DC area and one in southern NM. For a long time they were sort of infamously inoperational most of the time due to technical issues, and ten the DC one came loose and briefly terrorized Delaware, so I'm not sure how much of the time they're actually active right now. Every time I've gone by the southern NM TARS (not that often but probably several times a year) it's been down.

These overhead persistent surveillance systems are both technically interesting and extremely alarming from a privacy and civil liberties perspective, but it is surprising how little use they've seen in the US. Part of that owes to controversy over their use but honestly a larger part of it seems to just be ongoing technical difficulties in getting them to perform well. Also to be a little snarky I wonder if PSS's weirdly geocities-era website is a factor... when I was doing research papers on these a year or two ago I had a solid ten minutes of disbelief that that was really their actual website. It seems to actually be a very small company.
It's funny that this choice wasn't "offered" to console users who got the 20% discount even as 30% still went to Sony/Microsoft. The two-tier pricing on iOS was purely a stunt and had nothing to do with Epic's costs.
Lots of PR moves going on recently with the Royal Family...
Eh...they don't really.

Dell doesn't sell most parts to the public.

HP and Lenovo theoretically do, but you've got probably 50%+ odds of the part you want either being perpetually unavailable/OOS or priced insanely if you try to buy direct.
Fixed pricing 24/7 is going to wind up costing everyone much more due to the mismatch between supply & demand.
I'm forcibly reminded of how one jackass forgetting to renew a certificate stripped almost every Firefox installation on earth of all its extensions, resulting in probably thousands of malware infections and possible identity theft.

I didn't say that to ask for help. I said it to indicate that the author is speaking to people who already understand the subject, and is not speaking to people who do not understand the subject, despite the appearance that the article is indeed trying to teach the subject.

I've read 1491 and enjoyed it immensely. And I understand Jared's cherry picking which is not unlike that of Malcom Gladwell.

That said, cherry picked or not, the conjectures they come up with (both of them), are often thought provoking and lead to additional research for me.

In relation to the reference I made to the Gate's article that crop storage is a performance enhancer for agronomic cultures, is strongly supported by 1491 as well. Mann's discussion of the development of Maize as a food crop, with its ability to be stored for long periods, gave those cultures such as the Olmec greater resiliency against drought and famine. Two conditions which ravage south Saharan Africa today.

That's very similar to Ashildr in Dr. Who. The character was an immortal who did not have perfect memory.

She survives to the end of the universe and then a bit more, in the show at least.

Trump is scary. I am not of the US but:

I'd argue there is a third competitor in the form of Huawei/Xiaomi. Despite fears of spying by the Chinese, which might be justified, their phones tend to have better prices all the way to the ultra market, and due to the fact that they want to allow you to sideload GsmCore and Play Services, will never be locked down.
That looks pretty interesting. Even though I usually like native-widget-type GUI libraries, this one looks pretty special. Also I like that all rendering is actually done with low level GPU calls and doesn't depend on other common toolkits like SDL.

If it is flexible enough to support non-obvious not builtin functionality will show.

It uses quite a lot of cpu cycles in idle though. That seems to be a huge drawback of immediate mode GUIs. At least for mostly static interfaces.
> "Who is fighting for the consumer?" Epic. It doesn't matter their motives.

Epic is using their customers as pawns in a contract dispute with a platform vendor (Apple). How else do you explain that console customers got the full 20% discount on "V-bucks" despite Sony/Microsoft still taking their 30% cut? Epic is basically selling V-bucks at a premium on iOS if you choose not to give Epic your credit card information. This is not a pro-consumer stance, it's a pro-Epic stance.
You shouldn't require a business relationship in order to publish software on a general purpose computing platform.

macOS was always a general purpose computing platform, anyone could publish software for it.

iOS has not been seen as a general purpose computing platform, merely "a phone", and hence Apple's tight control has been seen as justifiable.

Apple added notarization of software to macOS last year, and in response to fears that this was another step on the path of "iOS-ification" of macOS, promised that it was not going to be used for anything but to stop bona-fide malware.

This stunt shows that that was bullshit, and the iOS-ification of macOS is complete. macOS is no longer a general purpose computing platform, it is now also a software console, with Apple as a gatekeeper.
I believe RH's revenue is mostly from payment for order flow (as opposed to, say, interest on AUM), so on top of what gets them more users, higher trading activity is what gets them more dollars.
If they could bring the same sidebar that is in Gmail, Gcal etc to Google Meet that'd make my life way easier for taking notes into Keep.

And having a system to automatically export a chat from a Meet (ie: to email or as a Gdoc file) would also help. Right now, almost no one I know uses the text chat feature of a meeting except to share a link or something unimportant because it will be lost once the meeting is over.

My bet is that this is also why they abandoned their EU plans as most of these practices are illegal / more strictly regulated.
They just have to make it so dev builds are self signed but allow installing that certificate on a machine. Complicated enough to keep out normal users while still allowing developers to do their jobs.

This would be horrific of course, but I could totally see them doing this.
To the extent that they're advertising - or even just increasing the availability of - derivatives trading to unsophisticated retail investors, I agree with you. But taking unlevered long positions in individual stocks is not that much worse than investing in ETFs, and saving money to take unlevered long positions in individual stocks, for someone who would otherwise not be saving much money (and who might otherwise be literally playing the lottery with that money) is often a drastic improvement. After all, it's just as hard to underperform the market by picking stocks as it is to outperform it; while the risk-adjusted expected return is worse due to the lack of diversification, the non-risk-adjusted expected return those traders will get will equal the market return, with some degenerate exceptions like Hertz.

Error correcting codes are one of the coolest things you can do with math. In general learning math is important for the knowledge buzz moments and the general "tooling for thought" but all of these are a little abstract and hard to "sell." With coding theory, we have much more practical selling points: learn math so you can understant GSM, 3G, LTE, 5G, 6G,... Wifi, ..., satellite comms, storage like CDs, DVDs, BlueRay, HDs, etc.

- your cabin is treated like a packet on the transport network

Coding theory was a required class in my computer engineering program, I don't think it's super esoteric. This looks like a pretty nice, thorough document.
Because that requires new permits and new permits require impact studies and approval which must go through the public. Which makes it impossible in areas like that.

Just replacement to exactly what was there does not require that approval.
The claims of "unlawful monopoly maintenance" in particular. But you're right, I think their best chance of success is the tying claim between "iOS App Distribution" and "iOS In-App Payment Processing" which only requires market power.

I don't think Epic cares to settle here though, they have more than enough money to keep this suit going for the next decade.
This is the counterintuitive result. You succeed by unplanning. You fail by committing to planning and then hoping the plan that succeeds is your plan.
