Driven to Abstraction: the inside story of a $60m art forgery hoax
Or it exactly understands how it works and Google doesn't much like how it works.
Sounds like a similar situation to buying a house that belongs to a HOA. You pay extra to give up freedoms, but have the peace of mind that you won't have obnoxious neighbors that make your house difficult to sell.
Yes, they should make the ads platform free, and fill the newsfeed with free ads.
surely you jest. Has samsung been able to get a flagship phone sold without android?
Enjoyed this - a lot resonated. I’ve become interested in chess in the past few months (nothing crazy - just going from “knowing the rules and not being 4-move checkmated” to “above the 50th percentile on Lichess”).

A good move in chess is _elegant_. It’s impressive when you’re playing a game and have to give your opponent credit for trapping you in a way that you didn’t see coming. Conversely, there is no better feeling than when your opponent makes a move you _knew_ they would make, and you have a better move to counter.

It's a good one! You helping out with the ML at Neuralink at all? Maybe someday Autopilot could learn something from recordings of people's brains while driving :)
As a community we don't have to resort to automatically criticising Facebook even when they are morally in the right

If Facebook squares off against Apple in a PR war they'll lose every time.

Should have kept this in the boardroom.
I said pretty much to underscore I was generalizing and that there are many nuances there. But that is how conservatives self identify. You will find that in their music and their art and their culture in general. I'm not inventing hateful terms to turn you against them as OP was.
The first results I find talk about this specific study, which measured electricity usage. It found that DST increased energy consumption by about 1%. https://www.nber.org/papers/w14429
What are the advantages of normal business hours, in an era when most office work can be done asynchronously, and most retail stores have extended or 24 hour schedules? "Normal business hours" meant that when I was living in SF, nearly everything in my neighborhood closed by 3PM.
The kwown argument that <<you're already a cyborg>> seems to fit nicely with the current status of humanity. The problem I see lies when you decide to integrate these machine learning models (not "sentient" AIs) as part of neural substrate at a convinient broader bandwidth. We are already seen the disasters of biases, filter bubbles and many more to come. There is a huge gap between a cyborg (or Augmented human) and an AGI. The latter doesn't exist yet but we are slowly building it through the links of our mind. That is both the real summoning the demon and quantum leap of faith in evolution.
Yes, I completely agree with you! I think being able to read through the actual code of the software you use, in order to fully understand it, what it does, and how it works is a priceless tool. On top of that, most open source tools also provide live examples of implementations, which can be extremely helpful.

However, what do you say to those who will argue that it's actually the other way around? They'll say that private companies have full developments teams paid and dedicated towards maintaining the security of their products... meaning that more work and research gets done, making them more secure, and trustworthy in the end. Or those who say that open sourcing the code makes it easier to find vulnerabilities?
So... it's dumb for 999/1000 people.
> Content creators don't have a legal right to demand to distribute to a specific smartphone.

That is the exact scope of the anti-trust case here, and unless you're the most preeminent expert in the field I'm not inclined to take your word in whether they have the legal right or not.
The phrase "destroy the company" seems like an emotional appeal. If the company can restructure its debt, that leaves more of the pie for everyone else. Employees who didn't get a say in taking on the debt shouldn't have moral compunctions about creditors being stiffed. It's just business.

NumPy binary wheels on PyPI (i.e. from pip) are built with OpenBLAS. NumPy from the official Anaconda, Inc. conda channel defaults to MKL. The conda-forge channel defaults to OpenBLAS.

This is what I used to do. It was glorious.

Unfortunately with a partner, and being a light sleeper, it's simply not possible anymore. My bedtime is up to me, but my wake up time now has a hard ceiling.
Finally it’s easy for anyone to make “echo as a service”.
Store forwarding is slower, it is usually as fast a reading from L1 directly in the best case (4-5 cycles).

This optimization has a latency of 0-1 cycles.
This was by design. Didn't the dems do this in '96?
I immediately thought of music software as something I find intrinsically rewarding, but of course it produces music. Then again, games produce let's plays :)
Perhaps in 100-200 years, some neuroscientist will make the same remark about a painter’s brain — “it’s just math, I can model it!”
FB, etc get the use of Apple's infrastructure, they get the benefits of apple providing updates to hardware for 5 years without charging consumers.

That shit costs money, whether it costs 30% I don't know, but given that seems to be in the order of the charges of every other store (what % of sale price do companies get on retail sales?).

The problem here is a bunch of companies have decided that they want special rules for themselves that don't include paying for services that they benefit from.

Any iOS device apple sells has 5 years of ongoing costs - software support, service upkeep, etc.

Google's store doesn't have the update and software maintenance costs, and the actual hardware sellers have demonstrate no interest in taking them on, so it's clearly not free. In fact google charges 30% on everything as well, but also makes money from all of the surveillance they have on the platform (after all, spying is how google makes its money).

Put very simply. Apple makes a profit from a sale of hardware when the user buys a new device. That's it. They continue to support that hardware for 5 years.

Google makes profit from every android device as long as that device is being used. If you buy a second hand android device then that device continues to generate revenue for google.

Despite this google charges the same commission/rent as apple.
That's what WeChat is already. It's an entire ecosystem with its own mini-apps, payments and community. Many users in China only use WeChat as the OS on top of iOS.

Apple is still trying to deal with that and doesn't really have a solution, and it only adds to the numerous inconsistent practices with the App Store.
Really? It's not okay to say it's censorship when it is? I'll admit I'm wrong iff the apps are reinstated without having to impose additional restrictions.
One of the reasons I had to leave SF was because the sleepable window was just too squeezed. Between people making noise in the evening, cars and motorcycles racing at night, and sunlight, cars, and construction in the morning, there just wasn't enough time to wind down (this can take a long time depending on chronotype) and get enough sleep.
Recovered for/from what?

I've had my account disabled in the past (I created it while I was underage, with an adult representing me. Once they changed their terms to no longer allow this, they temporarily banned my account). But, once I turned 18, and was eligible again, all I did was send them one email and they immediately restored/recovered the account for me. So yes, I have been able to get my Coinbase account recovered before.
You'll be relieved to know that being allowed to use another app store on the hardware you own wouldn't hinder your relationship with Apple at all.

There are plenty of Apple customers who do want to control what runs on their devices, which is why some people are excited about these developments.
IMHO creativity isn't really as conscious as people seem to think. I have had a handful of hyper productive songwriting sessions and by the end it always felt more like I was the horse than the rider. Neither was anything made so much as it was found.[1]

There are constraints and limits and rules: rhyme scheme, meter, key, chord progression, genre, structure, and whether or not those things will support the consistency and coherence of the content... that's barely scratching the surface. The "choices" and the "thinking" are highly constrained. Few things are going to work. It's often either "this way" or "wo, back it up".

Even in something like Jazz there are still intricate rules at play and the true greats were eccentrics and/or taking loads of drugs in order to push the boundaries where they could.

[1] And then that one time where I finally cracked the melody at 3am, only to realize in the morning that it was Neil Young's "Heart of Gold". Even my creation was not my creation!
Here's a tour of the application bar control (which follows this pattern) from the Windows Phone 8 days: https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/1e050f/application-...

Windows 10 introduced the navigation bar, which is essentially a vertical version of the Windows Phone application bar, just using a "three lines" icon as the "show labels" button instead of an ellipsis. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/design/controls...
The start menu and inbox mail app use this control, for example.
I feel the text might have been better if they said "the business will receive 70%, Facebook doesn't take a cut"
There is literally no downside to Apple allowing alternative app stores on their platforms.

They could even do it in such a way that they waive all responsibility should you choose to use one.
How big is each FB update? I recall they used to be hundreds of mbs, multiple times a week, times a hundred million or whatever users. I don't think that's free.
In the winter, though, in more northern latitudes that would mean going to work or school while it is still very dark out.

If you can only have one of morning and evening in light, morning is probably more important for a couple reasons even ignoring the circadian rhythm considerations.

1. We are more synchronized in morning. In morning you have adults going to work and kids going to school. We are much less synchronized in the evening--young kids come home earliest, then middle and high school kids, then adults. Furthermore, more people stay late at work than go in early to work, so you get further spreading out of the commute home.

With the morning getting heavier, more concentrated traffic, it makes sense to prioritize giving it the light.

2. The morning before the sun comes up tends to be the coldest time of the day. You are much more likely to have icy roads during a predawn commute than during a postdusk commute, further bolstering the case for prioritizing standard time over daylight savings time during winter.
Seems very strange to leave out any discussion of auction models for pricing, like Google and Spotify used.
So Apple wants a 30% cut on the money that could easily go to small business owners and artists. A $2T company that makes tens of billions in profit every year can't help being as extractive as it can in the middle of pandemic when everyone is struggling.

How can anyone be okay with this blatant abuse of power? How does it matter if the event is online or offline. If it's happening on a Zoom call or in a coffee shop. Apple isn't just harming big companies like Fortnite, it's harming individual creators. If this isn't case for anti-trust, I don't know what is.
If you want that, it is in your best interest that Apple reduces their cut. Content creators shouldn't have to put up with Apple's obscene 30% cut. On the PC market, Epic has been indisputably a boon for game developers. Its cut is much lower and their exclusivity contracts pumped millions into development. Steam could've been in a much stronger position if they took a more reasonable cut.
Vague policies are very useful when those making them wish to engage in arbitrary and capricious enforcement.
To the end user who only uses Apple's app store, there is no functional difference between an app not being available in Apple's app store, and an app being available in a different App Store.

If Apple's app store was truly competitive, then Apple would have no problem keeping developers within their walled garden.
Facebook was setting up a marketplace for paid digital events:

> On Friday, the social media giant claimed that Apple rejected the inclusion of a warning that the latter company would take 30% of sales in a paid-online events feature Facebook is rolling out in an update of its app.

Do you really think Apple provided 30% of the value of the event -- created and hosted by someone else, organized by Facebook?

There's a point at which Apple is not responsible for creating the entire economy, even if parts of it incidentally touch OSX. Like, this is functionally no different than the web browser OSX is providing -- but Apple has decided that because it touches the App store, they deserve a ton of flesh.
> they get the benefits of apple providing updates to hardware for 5 years without charging consumers.

Apple's updates included things like intentionally slowing down old phones without notifying users of what was going on, instead of encouraging a cheap battery replacement.
We've been making artificial cells for quite some time, but they're purpose is more of a model than anything else. A way for us to study what happens when you take away everything and just start from the very basics.

What you're talking about sounds more like artificial tissues and organs, which is an active area of study, although I don't immediately see how we might "engineer-out" cancer. There exists a world in which we develop tissues that age slower, but the more likely (not that it's happening anytime soon) scenario is very cheap organs that we can swap out for ours.
Boeing has a really interesting strategy right now, essentially, they want to do DaaS —- Design as a Service — and leave that icky business of manufacturing to contractors. It’s a bold move; for decades Boeing has been doing design and build, pretty solidly verticalized. But now, they seem to want to outsource manufacturing entirely, and leave their core competency to be design, supply chain, regulatory logistics, and sales. A huge shift. And one that is not going super well. But perhaps there’s wisdom to it.
The problem is there is no alternative to the App Store on iPhones. Epic Games couldn't open their own Epic Games App Store and sell their games there because Apple has a complete control over how apps can be used and sold on iPhones.
You can use volatile as part of a suite of compiler specific tricks to implement higher level load acquire/store release operations on x86 (and load consume everywere else), but portably you can't do much.
I work on Dark (https://darklang.com), which uses a similar concept about holes to Hazel. I've looked at Hazel but amn't totally familiar, so take this answer in that context.

In the first case, the hole has a type. I believe this type is inferred by the compiler/editor/type-checker, and I believe it will tell you if they type is wrong (in Dark, we'll tell you if the type is wrong, though we'll still let you put that variable in that hole to support the transition from one valid state to another).

In the configuration file example, you can't change the type: these are statically typed functional languages, and they don't permit "later-time" type changes.
Making DST permanent can be done from a single point of control with a big cost to people who don't get on board.

Expecting every institution to change will never happen. Else the US would be using the metric system by now.

Permanent DST is a good idea but either way would be better than the status quo.
Of course even with insurance you might end up owing huge amounts. A friend of mine was in a terrible accident, had insurance, and still racked up massive bills. The last number I heard from him was $800k and he was wondering if it would get over a million.

I have insurance now but have gone without it at times and really don't know what the best route is. If I get injured badly with insurance I know there's still a decent chance I'm ruined financially.
Oh, no! She just doesn't use any software that makes the fan come on. Zoom doesn't, teams doesn't, jitsi somehow does.

You can't claim slippery slope if it already happened. Payment processors, domain name registrars, hosting providers, and anti-DDoS services already ban people they dislike. If we slide any further down this slope, the deplatformed will have to lay their own optic fibre.
Of course it doesn't matter for home consumers because real target audience for MKL isn't desktop user applications or games. Try using VASP or COMSOL or Mathematica on an AMD CPU. Both MKL and CUDA are major "issues" in HPC that limit decisions in purchasing clusters.

I don't see a way in which Apple is abusing its monopolistic threshold within its competition. Apple slides in at 45% of phone purchases in the US market. That's 122 million people choosing something else. Now, that's not marketshare, but Apple has convinced consumers that their product is worth the markup - clearly evident by the increased marketshare.

I don't understand the desire to regulate a business that has clearly demonstrated value in a highly competitive market - if you don't want an iPhone, join the other 122 million Americans or 2.3 Billion people with an android.

_You_ may believe

> Q.E.D. Apple has monopolistic power in the U.S. and needs to be dealt with.

but by and large, monopolistic control and anti-trust cases are only brought to court if they are used to negatively impact consumers. In Apple's position, they believe they are doing the better thing for the consumer. If their argument holds water in court, then who is the US government to tell Apple if that business strategy is sound? If the market wants something different or better, then it will decide.

Things would be different if Apple were attacking other platforms, but instead, they're simply moderating their own.
There are complex developed pseudo-sciences filled with serious people too deep and stubborn and too invested and too old to start over - so they continue, creating a masterpiece of fiction that carries too many fools to ever end. Religions, pseudo-sciences, short sighted and impossible political ideologies are rampant today and have been throughout human history. Of course I believe it is a sham.

Is it just me or is SSL completely broken on this site?

First I get this:

Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for paulgraham.com. The certificate is only valid for the following names: .store.yahoo.com, .store.yahoo.net, store.yahoo.com, store.yahoo.net, .stores.yahoo.net, stores.yahoo.net, .csell.store.yahoo.net, .us-dc1-edit.store.yahoo.net, .us-dc2-edit.store.yahoo.net, .us-dc1.csell.store.yahoo.net, .us-dc2.csell.store.yahoo.net

OK, I guess that's close enough, but when I "Accept the risk and continue," I get this, which can't be bypassed:

Everybody knows the cliched arguments about why job security leads to inefficiency, but have you ever thought that job security leads to efficiency in that people don't resist automation and labor saving innovation as much when it doesn't threaten them?

When someone figures out how to do your job better (or tries) at a private company, then you may need to pretend it's a great thing, everybody goes around pretending, but it's a mortal threat and there are tons of ways to passively sabotage a project.

But when someone figures out how to do your job better at a government agency, either the automation makes it easier for you, or you are (nearly always) guaranteed a transfer to another position. People generally accept that work is a bad thing in itself so if you want to eliminate it, they like you. Laziness has its merits.

I've had some first hand experience in both types of environments.
Nothing I said has anything to do with price fixing and collusion, so I am not sure why you are bringing it up.

> Facepalm.

This kind of snark is really unnecessary.
A lot of these types of arguments are just kind of absurd and flat. We are developer the rules are what we make them. Apple can allow other software stores while still having effective parental controls. None of these things are mutually exclusive.
How does it trap employees? If I’m considering switching jobs, wouldn’t my new employer offer the benefit also?
“We have been subordinate to our limitations until now. The time has come to cast aside these bonds and to elevate our consciousness to a higher plane. It is time to become a part of all things.”

-Puppet Master
You are absolutely right. I work in the field of information security, where this seemingly backwards approach of thinking can quickly crumble optimistic projects! If you're not implementing security through the mindset of someone looking to break that implementation in every, single way possible, you're going to be in for a nasty surprise... and I'm sorry to say that I've seen it happen all too often.

To be fair, I think it's important for people to promote their ideas, projects, accomplishments, etc. However, I think your point intersects with that in two major areas:

1.) After-Thought: It's important to reflect upon what didn't go as expected, what doesn't look right, and what went wrong, and learn from it (very cliche, I know)

2.) Forward-Thinking: I love to see project that layout a roadmap. Not just a roadmap of "here's what we want to do", but a roadmap of "here's what we want to change", and "here's what we want to fix." This adds an important level of transparency to the project, and can really garner user trust and involvement.
Censorship is much worse.

Apparently it has two meanings. I've only heard it in terms of implying bodily harm, and I'm also in the US. Probably a phrase to be avoided if you don't mean bodily harm because there's a high risk of misinterpretation.
Well maybe they should
The problem is more complicated than that IMO. For any of this stuff to make sense at all, our life and work patterns need to be able to adjust to the fluctuation in circadian rhythm throughout the year. I do not see how this could be done if we insist on 9-5 workday (and rigid scheduling for schools, childcare, etc).
