I've contributed to linux for the Mac EFI myself, so that argument is moot. We clearly have different understandings of openness. I also wrote a savage driver for mplayer in the early 2000s but just because it was possible to write a driver for it, that doesn't mean the hardware was open in any reasonable sense of the word. Again, just because they decided to allow you to disable secure boot on those devices, probably mainly to drive adoption of their arch, doesn't mean it is any more open than a lock you can pick with your own lockpicking set.

The irony is that the jailbreaking crowd has spend so much time trying to break into apple devices that in comparison this now seems open.

EDIT: Also can we stop pretending that english isn't english and the opposite of locked isn't unlocked/open?
The Long Running notebooks is a feature that we would love to have, we have been using papermill (hacky scripts) and recently I saw a blog post where Google was recommending shipping notebooks to the AI Platform training product as a job which was a good option until something fails is really hard to have our Data scientist look into logs and the context switching between leaving the Jupyterlab UI and going to the Google Cloud console is not good, how you do it?

Yikes. What a nutjob.

> your 'loved ones'

Why is this in quotes? Are you suggesting that I'm incapable of love or something?

> Bad habit to use the word 'we' where you mean I

I do mean we. Even if you don't know you need it yet. Those of us that live in the bright future ahead won't even give this a second thought.

> Everyone who speaks this way [...] their needs are but a small fraction in that massively wide spectrum of human needs

I'm getting the impression you don't like my idea.
> It's intended to mollify any concerns of well-meaning whites that POC might actually really be upset with racial discrimination, and actually want significant change beyond superficial proposals.

First, you have no idea of my intent, because I didn't tell you. Second, what you allege to be my intent is not my intent. Third, conceding for the sake of argument that you were right about my intent, why is it that the measured facts totally contradict your narrative, i.e. those who want radical change appear to be overwhelmingly white and particularly non-black?

Are you one of those who think logic and data are tools of the white oppressor?
I think you’re underestimating how hard what you’re describing is. GPT-3 can mimic the language of reasoning but that doesn’t mean it’s capable of higher order reasoning.

This seems logical, but I've yet to experience a software shop of any complexity where you can just plug people in and out with this mercenary approach. A year or two is when I notice people actually start adding significant value, and the really high value work when you get in tune with an organization's DNA maybe still years later. Companies need veterans. If it seems like someone can't even pretend to get invested, it's a waste of time. Smart people who have a rap sheet of skills a mile long are cute, but I've personally found such peoples' dominant skill is marketing themselves...which I can't blame them for, but I think articles like this are the result of people being burned by the "mercenary" mentality.

Using a database is a partial answer at best. File formats don't just dictate the structure of data, they carry semantic info. Using sqlite gives you structure without semantics.
I've done this with presentations about web stuff - not even an iframe, just embed the demo straight into the slides.

Also, since it's just HTML, you can also dynamically generate content. I've done things like have a bunch of subslides that just mutate content when I'm trying to telling a technical story, with javascript stepping forward the changes. Works much better than copying and pasting and editing the same slide 25 times.

Honestly, I don't think I've made any presentations that didn't use reveal.js (except when forced to) in, what, a decade now? If it wasn't reveal.js back then it was something like it.
As far as I understand, AMD has come out and set it does not make sense for them to make wider than 4 instruction decoders. It seems the CISC architecture creates an upper limit for decoders, as complexity rapidly grows when you have no idea where the next instruction begins in a variable length ISA.

So Apple has twice as many decoders, eight, and may actually be able to keep adding to that number while AMD and Intel may get stuck on 4, thanks to the x86 CISC legacy.
This is incredibly naive. Another view is that enough engineers have been burnt enough by these founders that they got smarter. Not everyone is looking to tend their microbrew as you think.
No, it's a commentary on how much lifting is expected to be done by each side in a good faith discussion and the imbalance exhibited all over the current discussion. Everyone has the same tools - if you want to understand the perspective you asked for, you can absolutely do that!

More like you want users to be able to move their data around, send it, email it, etc, without thinking about 50 files in 10 directories that need to be placed in the right way. Rather just have 1 file with all the relevant data, and any structure you need for that data is embedded in the file itself
I have felt both the pros and cons of this choice. Identify how much responsibility you can bear with your actions. If you can handle it all then brand yourself. If not then lean on your invisible partners.
Sure, but if you had neighbors who immigrated to the US from Moscow in the late 80s, would you refer to them as "Soviet" or "Russian"?
> Carbon fibre frames are prohibitively expensive and the market for them serves very involved, often professional or semi-pro cyclists whose performance bottlenecks are imposed by the bike instead of themselves

This isn't true. Most $1000+ road bikes have carbon frames.

Wholesale, a good quality no-nme Al frame is about $100, while an equivalent quality CF frame is about $250.

If you are using Shimano 105 or above level quality, a CF frame is a reasonable upgrade.

They do ride better than anything but the best Al frames since that can put more stiffness where required and less where bump absorbing is needed.

The rest of your comments just shows misunderstanding of the luxury market. BMWs sell when Toyota makes fine cars.

Ruby "wordy" compared with PHP? You have to be joking. PHP is pseudo-Java in terms of verbosity. It's even worse than Java with its culture of space-wasting blank lines and fanfold doc comments.
I tend to agree with this assessment. As the author demonstrates, classic Macintosh computers are/were much simpler than modern Macs and also easier to use.

They typically also sported a tiny black and white display (vs. 27" or larger 5K or 4K full/wide color and HDR displays), extremely primitive multimedia capabilities (Macromedia director vs. the web, iMovie, Unity...), much slower storage (slow floppy disks and hard drives vs. modern flash storage), and was more likely to crash or freeze due to lack of memory protection and preemptive multitasking (though it didn't have the problem of breaking when you lose internet connectivity like modern macOS.)

Modern IP networking is powerful and connects you to the world, but AppleTalk was largely plug-and-play and had nice dynamic resource discovery (which influenced the design of Bonjour/mDNS.) Note classic Macs could be connected to the IP internet, but they lacked web browsers until ~1992. ;-)

As far as Apple is concerned, I think iOS may be the inheritor of much of the simplicity of the classic Macintosh: one app at a time, simplified multitasking, hood welded shut with minimal user-serviceable components inside. But an iPhone also does much more than a typical Macintosh of the 1980s or early 1990s, notably full wireless, mobile internet access with modern web support, streaming video, television, and music, wireless/mobile voice and video calls, multimedia messaging and email, full speech recognition and automatic dictation, Siri/digital assistant, full voice control of the device, automatic language translation, accelerated 3D graphics with augmented reality support, automatic computational photography, high-resolution, color digital painting and photo editing with dozens of layers, video editing, CD-quality sampling, music synthesis, and multitrack recording, millions of downloadable apps, etc.. And it runs all day on batteries and fits in your pocket.
> Did you come up with it yourself?

Yes, although I assume others somewhere must be thinking similarly. It seems self evident to me.

I post this idea on HN every now and then when I see the subjects of cancer, aging, or death come up.

> Would you know how difficult it would be to do right now?

Incredibly difficult. This is an Apollo project.

You'd need egg donors, good embryo yields, a protocol that sustains life throughout development, womb surrogates, decephalization that doesn't kill, life support systems at every stage, birthing, machines to keep them alive after birth, ...

Once you've worked out the kinks though, this thing prints money. But that's not what's exciting to me - this gets us one step closer to ending death.

I don't think we've taken a single step in that direction yet, so it'd be nice to finally get started.
Germans would tell you no, but as a person who worked in German healthcare I'd say that the reason you never hear about leaks in Germany is because they wouldn't even know if it happened. Approvals are all done in paper form and are extremely easy to forge and the IT systems in place similarly to the US equivalents are so antiquated that they wouldn't even notice if there was a large leak happening.

In the UK you can walk into a lot of hospitals IT room and just plug stuff in without noticing.

So no, basically nobody will protect your privacy other than yourself(which oftentimes is not possible).

The main difference is that it's a little bit harder for private big tech to get access to your data, so if that is your concern you will have a little bit better protection there.

However it's worth noting that even though German is considered one of the countries with the toughest data protection laws, they're not actually enforced for public institutions and that the current health ministry has been pushing hard to make unanonymized data available to insurance companies.
So the white guy also had bad encounters with the police? Maybe they're just dicks to everyone?

Don't know about rhe US, but in my country, unions abs their members get special rights (afaik). So it wouldn't simply be a matter of rejecting the contract if Amazon doesn't like it. It's a back door for government intervention.

Otherwise, "union busting" wouldn't make much sense, you can't prevent people from acting as a group.
> The reality is that the reasons these chips are fast are either unknown or boring. I suspect that these will one out as we play around with them more, but we don’t have the details right now.

I disagree, I think we have plenty of information. This is what happens when a huge proportion of your die isn't doing instruction decoding. x86/amd64 are old and crufty. Lessons have been learned, and had been learned for some time, but people (AMD/Intel) were not brave enough to fix them because they didn't have adequate control of their software ecosystem to say, "Your software from your old computer will not run/will not run as well on your new computer." (For emphasis, let me just put it clearly what I'm claiming: x86 was designed in the 1970s. This is what happens when you use an ISA that was not designed in the 1970s.)

Apple, however, does have control of their ecosystem, and they're allowed to be brave, provided they can support their ecosystem.

Here's my hot take: Intel tried to be brave with Itanium, but failed because compilers weren't up to the job at the time. That's changed. First things first, we're going to see mainstream desktop-class/laptop-class ARM being extended to linux and Windows. But I also believe that sometime in the next ten years, after all this newfangled high-performance ARM stuff is sorted out, we're also going to see someone give VLIW another shot, and they're going to succeed this time.

Nobody brought "open" into this discussion other than you. The claim was that this hardware is not locked down, and it is not. I don't think there is much more to say because this computer is literally the definition of not locked down because they give you the key to the lock.
Think of it as more like Comcast shouldn't be allowed to charge you 100x per GB (in addition to being your only choice in internet) if your traffic is to/from any streaming provider while providing their own streaming service for free, or throttle your usage of "other streaming traffic" to sub-144p quality. [OK, in reality, every mobile carrier does this in the US]

In an international, developing country context, outside of some places like India with Jio's cheap plans, it is incredibly frequent that you are paying per MB or similar at rates that would be unaffordable otherwise. Facebook funds these things so that your usage of Facebook's apps, Whatsapp, Instagram do not count against quota and are free to use. Thus local competitors get no visits and don't run their own sites because users do not want to pay a day's wages to browse your menu when they could browse your menu for free on their FB page.

It has pros and cons, one thing being that they don't have to pay for data and they get access to some portions of the internet, which is good? But it also makes it completely impossible for a local player funded locally without the billions acquired elsewhere to start, because people quite literally cannot afford to use your service unless you can afford to pay for all of them to; you can't compete. And since it's their only choice, now they monopolize and capture an entire country's worth of communications from start to finish. You'll see whatsapp numbers in many countries in place of a phone number or website.

Several black employees claim to have experienced racism at a noteworthy tech company. It’s been posted to HN for the same reason all the other stories, discussion. Do these employees need to ask you for permission before they can go to the press to talk about what they experienced?

I find it amusing that the same people writing ad tech and tracking software object to this. (I don't presume to say you do this, just that this demographic objects so strongly.)

Humanity needs to mean something, but let's shove some ads for Gillette down their throats.

It really makes me wonder what goes on in the minds of other people.

My proposed tech doesn't make life any less meaningful. In fact, it has a greater appreciation for life since it knows how important persons are and seeks to better their lives.

Lots of people use the bittorrent protocol for legally downloading stuff too. But we know what it is mainly used/throttled for.
The Swiss watch industry isn't what it was. Most people I know don't wear a watch.
The proper response to helping those people is to create more jobs, so that they have alternative choices.

Amazon should be applauded for giving low skilled people job opportunities, not be attacked for it.

Yes, the worst aspect of PHP is how a lot of library code uses fully-qualified namespaces inline instead of a "use" declaration at the top of the file. I've never understood why.

That’s not what being forcibly shut down means. Somebody disagreeing with you isn’t oppression.
I've seen many, many people (myself included) burned by putting in many extra hours (in terms of burnout, in terms of the effort going to waste because higher ups decided to change the schedule, in terms of not being appreciated when the situation reversed), while the number of times where people, in hindsight, said it was worth it has been quite few.

Its not that people aren't willing to dedicate themselves to their work, in my experience, most people do go above and beyond; its that more often than not, they get nothing for it or even suffer negative consequences long term while spending their precious time and energy to enrich someone else and end up feeling exploited.

We need to stop glorifying exploitation.
You are missing the part about being fastidious about the truth. Nobody cares about people who are "unconventional" in a way that is at odds with reality. Conventions are merely cognitive shortcuts we use to apply previously determined knowledge. Sometimes that knowledge grows out of sync with the world, or there is a newer, better understanding of the world that represents an improvement, and we need to replace or update the convention. This is where we need unconventional thinkers to question assumptions and test new ways of doing things. Yes, even in fields like surgery and plumbing.

Do you think the current state of knowledge in surgery is perfect and cannot be improved? If not, you are depending on people to question the current conventions.

I promise you the first plumber who proposed the waterless urinal was met with a lot of resistance from other plumbers "That's not how we do things", "That will never work" etc. etc. It doesn't mean he's also going to design your house so that shit has to flow uphill. Nobody is proposing that you just throw out conventions at random for the sake of calling yourself unconventional.

At some point in your career after you get sick of the treadmill that is trying to "keep up" and maybe have experienced or been close to burnout at least once and have gone through really asking yourself "why am I doing this?", it's the projects like these that actually help you reconnect with what it is you love about the craft in the first place.
People who 'give a shit' want to do it long term. They want to work on something that will stand the test of time, that they can make meaningful contributions to.

They want to be resourced enough with other workmates that they can be effective at their job without sacrificing their personal life.

The first half of the article is right - but it takes a complete nose dive when the true intent comes out. It's not people who 'give a shit' the writer want. It's people who will chase money as points, and do anything to increase their points. That's who the writer truly wants.
Abstracts are important (and clearly key in generating these TLDRs), but when it comes to ranking and recommending other papers (not to mention noting whether a new paper has content that can actually push a field forward) an abstract just isn't enough.
