We use coherent beaming.

The interval between relays largely depends on topographical, regulatory, and environmental conditions.

In any case, all our systems are designed to be absolutely safe for any organic life form.

Despite initial perception (mostly driven by the 5G frenzy I presume), if you do the research you'll realise that it is the most environmentally friendly solution out there. This is how EBDs can go green! No ELF, no people or animals immersed in RF or electrocuted, no carbon emission, no cutting through forests and rivers with huge pylons and no underwater cables disturbing marine life.

I hope this addressed your concerns?

While I think you're right, I think the OP is also right in that it might behoove Apple to have answers for at least a couple other market segments. The 16" MBP could be the laptop that has more ports besides USB-C, for instance, even if it adds a couple millimeters in thickness. And it'd be nice to see the Mac mini and the iMacs be made a little more user-modifiable: user-upgradable RAM and storage drives across all of them, for instance. (This is assuming it's possible to just plug in any internal SSD into a T2-enabled Mac, which I'm not 100% sure about, admittedly.)

I don't think Apple needs to go all in on competing with PC makers, by any stretch. But it would have been nice to see a lower-end version of the Mac Pro that started at, say, $2999. And that's not too crazy, given that the first Intel-based Mac Pro started at $2499. (Actually, you could get a build-to-order one with a slower CPU that started at $2199!)

I think in a way you are countering your first point that it's good that it's simple. I'm not big into the facial recognition space but I'd imagine that the tech is saving personalized feature vectors and not images. Thus making the definition already moot. Then again maybe that means the language isn't simple enough.
Oh sure.

I am at lecture 11 right now (volatility modeling). I guess the best thing I learned was value at risk models and how companies like Morgan Stanley use historical returns, covariance matrices, and monte carlo to estimate their maximum risk. That was fascinating.

Other than that, I dived here and there and found the portfolio optimization lectures to be good. To be honest, all lecture taught by people from the industry are damn good.

As for the strategies, eigen portfolio would be one. I started reading about it and digressed to another blog (https://srome.github.io) that had some excellent resources. From there, I had to read a few more papers to get to MSR. That makes three strategies -> Eigen portfolios, Minimum Variance, and Maximum Sharpe.

The last strategy is using a genetic algo to maximize sharpe ratio. That is a custom implementation as I've quite some experience with GAs.

Happy to talk more about the course and the strategies.

This has not been tested in court so far as I know.

(Please do not cite Artifex v. Hancom. Special conditions prevailed in that case that do not apply, in general, to all software under a nonexclusive open source license.)

Generally speaking, under common law, in order for an agreement to have the force of a contract, there must be an offer, acceptance, and consideration. Since most people acquire open source through a download, there is no consideration (monetary value) being remitted to the author of the software, and hence the license does not have the force of a contract binding on the author. The license is thus a bare license, and the author has the right to revoke it at any time. Unfortunately that's how contract law works in common-law jurisdictions, and we are in for some nasty surprises once this actually does get tested in court.

Civil-law jurisdictions, for example Germany, do not necessarily require consideration in order for a contract to be binding. Open source licenses such as the GPL can be binding contracts in Germany.
The comments and discussions are fascinating to observe. Here's the voices you can hear loudest and my thoughts on those.

> Epic broke Apple's ToS

Just because terms have been set, does not mean they are right or that they shouldn't be challenged. Remember, these terms were arbitrary when they were first set, why defend them as if it's written in the constitution?

> But Epic is a big greedy corp that only cares about its own profits

Yeah but Epic's win extends as a win to every small player in the ecosystem. In terms of size, Apple is a trillion-dollar company whereas Epic is multi billion-dollar company. The only people who can challenge Apple are companies like Epic, and not the small players and indie app & game developers.

> Apple's reactionary behaviour is just proving Epic's case

I know right! But that's the whole point that Epic started this saga with. Actually, it started before. Earlier this year HEY/Basecamp guys faced the same issue. Obviously they created a huge uproar, figured a path that works for them, and then shut up completely (instead of continuing the fight, as they promised they would). Epic here is fighting to make a change that will benefit everyone.

> But I'm an Apple user because I like the closed ecosystem

I get it, you want a platform to make decisions for you. In which case, you can continue using the App Store to get your dose of apps and games. But why does your indecision stand in the way of having alternative app stores where people who want to have a choice, get to make that choice.

> But Apple isn't a monopoly

There's 2 major phone OSes in the world. If you're making any kind of mobile game or mobile application, you HAVE to be on either or both mobile OSes. iOS has 60% of US market share, which means it IS a monopoly. Apple exclusively owns iOS. Apple is a monopoly.

Closing thoughts

In the end, I feel that people who don't understand the stand Epic is taking are people who have never done something of their own and failed or faced undue stress on their venture due to a large gatekeeper who stamps on whoever it pleases.

I feel the people defending Apple here NEED to defend Apple to satisfy their internal narrative, which would reflect in their life's pursuit to be a 1 in 10,000 employee of a billion-dollar company.

I'm airing the dirty laundry in the hopes that everyone gains empathy and perspective.

As an example, the modern equivalent of its STM32F0 chip would probably be an STM32G0.

STM32F030F4 ($0.55@2500) -> STM32G030F6 ($0.49@2500):

* Clock speed: 48MHz -> 64MHz

* Flash memory: 16KiB -> 32KiB

* SRAM: 4KiB -> 8KiB

* CPU core: Cortex-M0 -> Cortex-M0+

The newer chips are also on a smaller process node, so they can run off of slightly lower voltages and use a bit less power.

They're incremental improvements, but time is starting to march on...

I had the impression that the Fremen were based on the middle Eastern stereotype male. This was a great use of the word Jihad to describe. The culture needed a focus point and the Atreides family provided one by manipulating their beliefs.

Jihad was also used to describe the past where thinking machines (AI) was destroyed in a tech smashing jihad which lead to the world of the books without AI.

While I liked the books 20 years ago .. I think that the previous Dune movies were really bad and I'm going to give the new movie a chance. Even without being true to the books and somewhat politically correct.

What exactly does Amazon offer today that sites like walmart, ebay, target, etc don't? Maybe amazon 8 years ago was better, but today the gap is nonexistent.

How would state coercion bear better fruit that the love of freedom?

I'm not yet a taxpayer, but I'm not looking forward to having my money be wasted on yet another "service" that neither I nor most people would choose to benefit from. I'll wager the postal service is an example of waste of public funds that translates well across borders.

Evidence that open source leads to better software abounds. I don't think one could say the same about state-funded anything unless one lives in that fictitious country called Finland.

Is it not much easier to just install the board support files in the Arduino IDE? Something like the ESP8266 R1 D1 from Aliexpress is like $3.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33059632653.html

I found that stupidly simple with many, many libraries to do things. WS2812 LED strips using FastLED is very popular and rightly so, great fun. Really quick and easy to start flashing lights in patterns. Then copy some wifi code so you can control it with your phone (or tablet or laptop). Mesh more than one. If you're just playing $3 is still very cheap.

And if you've just started learning C being arduino compatible with many step-by-step tutorials a search away is gold.
They do via clang, long part of Visual Studio installer (since 2015), Visual C++ as C++ compiler naturally not.

And they aren't the only ones, try to see how much of Apple or Google OS applications you manage to write with C11 alone.
I’ll be interested to see what effect, if any, the move to ARM has on their Mac Pro line. It may be the case that the baseline model is so expensive due to the cost of Xeons. I don’t know for sure, though, so it’s a bit of a wait and see.

There are also other language implementation styles that get roughly the same benefit without writing async and await all over the codebase. If the implied yield at defined synchronization points coupled with a decent scheduler like in Go would make this all a non-issue [1].

> If these hundred tasks make heavy use of the CPU, then the sync and async solutions would have similar performance, since the speed at which the CPU runs is fixed, Python's speed of executing code is always the same and the work to be done by the application is also equal.

I think one of the things the author has not discussed is that if you have high CPU then you are going to get starvation as async does not have a fairness mechanism - timesharing is co-operative and based on FIFO in all the implementations I've seen.

If you start to saturate CPU (even a bit) you get uneven distribution of cpu time between your various async threads. This translates into chronic timeouts. For async to be applicable you really need to have a) high io load and b) lowish cpu load.

> avoid the per-thread stack memory allocation of 8MB per thread or whatever it is, in order to be able to scale to an extremely large number of concurrent threads/coroutines. You can't do this with threads.

It's 8 K B per thread, so you can scale a thousand times further than you thought. One dark secret of the async movement is that if your goal is C10K (10,000 concurrent clients) then actually bog standard threading will handle that fine these days.

> The better async code and interfaces become, the more it looks like regular old multithreaded code, except there aren't actual threads underlying it. You still need to make sure you serialise access to shared resources, don't share data that shouldn't be shared, etc. All the same considerations as multithreaded code.

Depends what approach you're using. I prefer making an explicit distinction between sync and async functions ( https://glyph.twistedmatrix.com/2014/02/unyielding.html ), so you effectively invert the notion of a "critical section" - instead of marking which sections can't yield, you mark which sections can yield, so your code is safe by default and you can introduce concurrency explicitly as and when you need it for performance, rather than your code being fast-but-unsafe by default and you're expected to fix a bunch of rare nondeterministic bugs with minimal support from your tools, which is how it works in a multithreading world.
This is something I asked about a few years ago when it was first introduced, and the vague answer I got is that the warning exists because the Gmail API is not as optimized as IMAP for some common email client tasks. (Indeed, for better performance, I would like to switch a few tasks to use IMAP instead of the Gmail API someday).

Google did vet Mimestream as a general-purpose email client before approving API access, and on the paperwork for that process "general purpose email client" was the app category that I selected, so I'm hoping all will be OK, or else I will be really scrambling to implement new protocols :P

Probably because for whatever reason it is not costing them revenue to not have the best coffee. I imagine because there are other benefit so starbucks, such as I am guessing familiarity, brand, has a nice "living room" feel about it, etc. If they made their coffee better, would they do better?

I think in Australia they have upped their game on the coffee front to survive (many Starbucks closed here years ago), but at the same time it is probably easier to hire baristas due to the coffee culture. They are not the best but I think a Starbucks in Australia would be a lot better than a UK one for example in terms of the coffee quality.
This doesn't work unless you have a choice. We've already gone from "free, but we collect your data" to "paid, but we also collect your data and didn't decrease the price." Just look at TVs or ISPs.

Before you say "well that's user's rights" I think we're all aware that most people are tech illiterate. They are starting to become aware of the problem but everyone feels completely helpless because they don't even know the first steps (and quite frankly it isn't just laziness, they don't have the literacy rate).

> Yes they have the fift worst mortality per capita in Europe excluding microstates (Andorra, San Marino).

If you count excess mortality instead of registered deaths then Neatherlands is also worse than Sweden. And if you also consider that the countries that are above Sweden are on average larger than the countries below then there are about as many who lives in countries with worse results than Sweden as there are people living in countries with better results. So it is fair to say that they have pretty average resullts for Europe. If you also add USA and Canada and talk about the west then there is no contest since you add 340 million people living in a country with worse results.

The SEC supported the validity of LTSEs Voting Rights Policy [0]. Eric Reis has clarified time-phase voting won't be mandatory [1], however the LTSE is facilitating technological / legal support for the implementation of such voting structures without directly endorsing them (presumably for legal reasons) [2].

>Also, would this apply only to securities actually listed on LTSE or also, somehow, to non-LTSE listed securities bought on LTSE (which apparently is the only thing possible to do so far(.

Their rulebook disallows unfair dilution of other classes of shares.

>the Council of Institutional Investors (“CII”) advised that it could not support LTSE’s Form 1 application for two reasons. First, CII stated that the corporate governance requirements in LTSE’s Form 1 application (specifically, its “Voting Rights Policy”176) would “permit newly public companies to have multi-class structures with unequal
voting rights in conflict with [CII’s] membership approved policies supporting a one share, one vote structure” with “no sunsets on such structures.”177 Second, CII stated that LTSE’s Form 1 application “does not include any information about LTSE’s reported plans to update its application to include time-phased voting rights as a core element of its proposed corporate governance listing standards.”178 In addition, CII set forth its concerns about time-phased voting rights, including disproportionate empowerment of long-term stakeholders and challenges in tracking ownership of those with super-voting rights.

>The issues raised in the CII Letter do not provide a basis for the Commission to reject LTSE’s Form 1 application. Commission rules do not mandate that the rules of a national securities exchange must provide for a “one share, one vote” requirement for listed issuers.
