Object recognition requires you to see an insane amount of detail. You can reconstruct a lot, but you still have to see a lot before you can recognize an entire object.

That puts the threshold for basic perception much higher; you may not be able to see the details of the objects flashed at you for 1/500 of a second, but you can tell that something was flashed. If a bright light is strobing at 500Hz, you can tell it's strobing, not just on.

> One heuristic for distinguishing stuff that matters is to ask yourself whether you'll care about it in the future. Fake stuff that matters usually has a sharp peak of seeming to matter. That's how it tricks you. The area under the curve is small, but its shape jabs into your consciousness like a pin.

I think MKL actually fixed Zen performance. That is, the workaround no longer makes any difference because it is no longer needed.

Small matrix multiply benchmarks on a Zen2 (Ryzen 7 4700U), featuring MKL 2020.1.216+0, OpenBLAS, and Eigen:
https://gist.github.com/stillyslalom/bd916e3d26b4531364676ac...

MKL's benchmark performance requires AVX + FMA.
3.5 GHz * (4 add + 4 multiply) * 2 fma/cycle = 56 peak GFLOPS.
To exceed 50 GFLOPS without them would imply the CPU ran at 12.5 GHz.

OpenBLAS, on the other hand, actually performed poorly because it was limited to SSE thanks to a bug preventing the CPU from being recognized as Zen2.
I wonder what the logistical challenges would be to adding an hour of actual daylight to a medium-sized U.S. city around dusk by means of orbital mirrors?

Sunlight irradiance is about 1000 watts per square meter if the sun is straight up. We'll say that a city center is about 10 square km, and that 300 watts per square meter is an acceptable afternoon-evening light level. So, if I did the math right, that's 3 billion watts if we wanted to illuminate electrically with 100% efficient bulbs, or 3 million kwhs to provide one evening of light, which would be $300,000 per night at 10 cents per kwh.

On the other hand, a giant sheet of mylar in space, correctly positioned, might have a similar effect with no recurring energy cost. I imagine the orbital mechanics and optics situation would be challenging, but could at least be fun and interesting to talk about.
This is an excellent point. I am a teacher and my students have school-issued iPads which they are not able to just add their own apps. Even I can't control what apps they have loaded, I have to go through the school's processes to get apps loaded. This rules out switching to a different platform for the day just because e.g. Zoom is not working today.

You mean like the $1000 android phones?

> As the paper states, the biggest problem is with the transition.

It does? I only read the abstract because trying to download the PDF says it's embargoed.

The abstract says that (1) the transition creates "significant" risks and (2) "remaining in daylight saving time year-round ... could result in circadian misalignment ... [and] increased cardiovascular disease risk, metabolic syndrome and other health risks".

I don't see anything in there that says 1 or 2 is a bigger or smaller problem.

I think there are other cases. An auto-update that goes wrong could still cause wide ranging issues for non-365 Excel users.

And if updates are disabled (or MS goes away), we can add yet-to-be-discovered security flaws to the mix.

Neither of these would impact all (or maybe even most) users, but I think it'd impact enough to make a dent. In contrast, Office 365 is probably less susceptible to such flaws, trading them for others.

You're citing EU law but this case between Apple and Epic is happening in a US court, which has historically held higher requirements for the finding of monopoly power (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24312856). For what it's worth I do agree that Epic would be more likely to prevail if this case was under EU jurisdiction.

No. At the time that cpu family was only one that had a gpu with support for necessary drm schemes and 10bit HEVC decode.
Profits have been stagnant on iOS and Android for some time. Too much churn and competition. For $10.99 a month the webapp is growing 10% a month with much less CPA and less churn and no 30% cut.
That certainly makes it more attractive to make deals that involve taking on debt. But note that it's a deduction, so the amount you pay to service the debt will always be more than the taxes you save. If you could simply not have the debt anymore, you would be better off. You still don't want the debt itself.

"Get"? Apple forces all iOS apps to use that infrastructure. Google has a much better case because the Play Store is optional, but Apple dug their own grave here.
What a gut punch.

It's hard to overstate the cultural impact a movie like Black Panther had. It maybe seems silly, seeing that it's a comic book movie, but it truly showed what can happen when you give a bunch of excellent folks a real summer blockbuster budget, who historically don't get carte blanche.

And to think of Boseman's artistic output while battling this awful disease. Truly a gift to the world.
This is possibly so Zoom can show other Zoom meetings you have been invited to. This is a useful feature as it means I can directly join a Zoom meeting without having to go through the Calendar.
In the case of game consoles though, they're essentially general purpose PCs that are sold to under cost with the expectation that they'll make their money back on game sales. I think that's a fair assumption, and of course if game consoles weren't locked down it would open the doors for people to get x compute power for less than it would be worth otherwise.

Whether you agree with that model or not, it's definitely different than the iPhone model where you are paying full price for the hardware, but are limited in what software you can run on it.
Correct, apple can either release a phone with perfect software with no bugs, or continue to provide bug fixes (security vulnerabilities are bugs). This is totally orthogonal to letting the owner of the phone run whatever software he wants. As windows has shown, it is quite possible.
Max 9?! Zoom can do 25 without breaking a sweat.
The relevant geographic market for this court case will be the entire United States, yes. It is possible, but rather unlikely given existing historical precedent, that Apple's current US market share will be considered a monopoly.

It's nothing but exploitive to keep online events in the same category as in-app purchases. There is a cost to conducting an event—offline or online. Secondly, Apple is well-aware that creators can't conduct offline events that easily because of the pandemic. Hiding behind "it's-rules" is just a trademark of an Evil Corp.
A Soviet Russia joke goes:

A toy factory worker wanted to get his son a nice toy for Christmas, but couldn't afford it. So he sneaks out a single component from the factory every day. When he assembled it, it turned out to be a machine gun.

We used to have that, and it was dreadful. Every municipality had its own local time. Railroads made that untenable, and led to the creation of timezones.
the vast majority of that 3% is the CC company rate, and that's not going to stripe.

Which means that stripe is making 30c + maybe some tiny additional amount per transaction.

Their hardware PoS devices cost money and/or rent, so they make a profit there.

The distribution cost for their app is covered by amazon.

Which means that their remaining per transaction cost is the cost of the payment details which is presumably in the order of 1kb, which I'm fairly sure is in the fraction of cents realm.
If you think of transistors as analog computational devices, 100 is not that small. There are animals with ~200-300 neurons, so it's at least within the range of possibility to have a fairly autonomous robot with only 100.
One could make the argument that this is purposefully deceptive.

The phrasing makes it sound like external conditions, outside of Netflix's control are the reason 4K may not be available.

The reality is they sell two subscription levels: 4K and a HD-only one, but then after you've given them your money, they outright block access to 4K streams on a device that is physically capable of playing the stream.

I can play 3D games in 4K 60fps. I can stream YouTube at 8K. I can watch blu-ray at 4K with 2% CPU utilisation. For crying out loud, I have an NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti and gigabit fibre!

But no. Sorry sir, your CPU is the wrong model, and Netflix cannot trust it. No 4K for you.
Change the guidelines? Defending a company with "they are following the rules they themselves have written" is so bizarrely common.

And cancer impacts a large percentage of us at some point in our lives. It's fucking awful. It's a failure mode of multicellular organisms, and each of us have lots of cells nearing that state continually.

I have some extremely controversial ideas to accelerate progress on beating the disease, but I get downvoted and called a monster every time I suggest them.

We need to create decephalized monoclonal humans. If we can grow humans that lack brains just like plants, we can vastly accelerate research in real human models.

Research is the rate limiting step. Let's give researchers the best model, orders of magnitude better than what they've got currently. It's like we're asking them to develop cutting edge graphics on pen, paper, and punch cards.

We would also get an unlimited supply of organ, tissue, and blood transplants and can potentially remove all the immune markers / reactive HLA groups. The whole process becomes a new industry that self-sustains itself.

We could even make in roads on simply replacing parts of ourselves as we age. Bone marrow and immune system replacements.

Everyone calls me evil, but it's the most moral thing we could do.

It is nonsensical to claim social media destroyed the news media. It was already dying before the internet let alone social media. To put blame on it is a blatant lie from the losers of the old era who got regularly dunked on by bloggers and forum posters in basic fact checking.

Early wikipedia "not suitable for reports" clearly did a better job. They didn't catch up with the internet until it got basic enough for them to follow it with Twitter.

Before declaring something legacy, a fair evaluation of the future business requirement and fitment of current solution is a must.

12 Years back I worked with an org who had an AS400 which they considered legacy. System is still running and serves the business need perfectly well. All plans to replace just wasted money.

Another company decided to implement a new centralized ERP without realizing that company's highly federated businesses which can also be considered a conglomerate of very small independent businesses doesn't need it and won't use it.

Black Panther was the movie that made me realize how important minority representation can be in movies.

Money he had but like his other action sometimes ill conceived due to scale.
We do this in software engineering too. People need to find something that works, and then insert themselves in there to extract some value and get money. Service A talks to Service B? Put a message queue in there! You can monitor it, you can buffer it. Oh, it doesn't work? Just pay us and we'll fix it. Now some of the value your software creates is going to some middleman.

Healthcare is just like that. Patient pays doctor? That's fine, but what if we got some finance dudes in there? Maybe they could smooth out the costs for everyone -- fall out of the sky in your airplane, break every bone in your body, costs you $0. Just keep paying your monthly fee and you're covered. Sounds good, right? (Nobody really pays for healthcare, though; so they sold it to employers to use as a perk. "As long as you work for us, we'll cover the costs of any catastrophic health problem!" Kind of nice peace of mind.)

Ultimately, this is how people make money in capitalism. Find money, and insert themselves in the middle. When it gets to be too much, people push back. Amazon doesn't want to pay for UPS employees to have nice uniforms, a consistent route, and health insurance... so they found some randos on the Internet that will deliver packages out of the back of their sedan. The money saved is sucked out of giving people a decent life and into the coffers of one of the richest people in the world. No doubt, healthcare is going in this direction too. People are noticing the inefficiency, and stand to make a lot of money by eliminating it. (We'll all probably suffer, of course, because that's how it always goes.)
A 30% cut isn’t really out of line with the markup most stores or distributors put on nearly everything you buy, nor are secret business details.

Is the quality sufficent for classroom teaching? I use both for work as a teacher and I find Zoom much better than Hangouts. Zoom (when it works) is nearly flawless. Hangouts on the other hand has poor video, limited faciliation functions, limited grid/gallery view (and none at all on the iPad which is what my students use), random problems popping up, etc. Zoom is just much better for educaitonal use.

Apple has improved the experience of phone and software for elderly folks and kids by giving them the Apple choice, where before if you wanted to use Microsoft Office, you either did it Microsoft's way or you don't use Microsoft Office (!).

Facebook can still communicate anything they want to customers through the channels <they> pay for. Facebook is also free to pursue any kind of financial arrangement they want with customers via channels which they can maintain and pay for.

But now through Apple's way, folks can have a one-stop shop to manage any runaway subscriptions, which is an unprecedented consumer benefit. Now folks don't need to maintain 10 different financial relationships... merely because they have 10 apps.

Before consumers only had one choice. Now they have two — Microsoft's way, or Apple's way. I'm still struggling to see how this hurts <consumers>, as opposed to the overarching story that Apple takes Very Good care of their customers. Without Apple in the middle, the Microsoft and Adobe's of the world each already have enough power to force customers to do things their way.
No. Just in the private industry, there is at least hope of change.
