Thanks for working that out -- I had looked into using a JS x86 emulator of some sort to put up a demo when I wrote this, but ran out of time last Christmas :-) Happy to hear it works with that emulator!
Which specific one is it that you use?
A recent example. Even after it became apparent that Biden won the election you could still sell 10:1 bets on Trump to win, on betfair, to suckers which refused to accept reality or vastly overestimated the probability for Trump to sabotage the elections and/or stage a coup.

It's basically free money.
The primary benefit of high rate of fire is hitting a single moving target. Machine guns used to be particularly common in air to air combat. When you are a school shooter or bank robber you actually don't want to waste your ammo like that. The downsides of reloading are by far stacked against you. A soldier can just go back to base and reload his guns but a robber whose magazines have run out will just see his targets flee and his only opportunity slip away.
Systems theory is the rebrand of cybernetics IMHO. Cybernetics got diluted as a concept sure to its association with technology and scifi - AI, the Internet, and cyberpunk fiction devices like cyborgs and implants grew out of it and the original ideas got forgotten because they are more difficult to learn, being a very different (as in in addition, not in negation) perspective to the odd mix of scientific materialism and cartesian dualism we have in the West.

I can’t believe that was 6 years ago already. Time flies.
Also not an Apple engineer, but I have worked for a different FAANG. I've never used two monitors; I prefer one large monitor with the top edge of the screen as close to eye level as possible. Lots of people seem to jack up their monitors on a stack of O'Reilly books or whatever, but that makes my eyes tired from tilting my head up. I have enough screen real estate to do a typical engineering workflow and I've never missed not having a second monitor.

I used to be so excited when Apple released new updates that I would upgrade MacOS and iOS the day they came out. After a few catastrophes which negatively impacted my ability to use the product or do work I've been forced to take a difference approach. The wake up was after I believe either Lion or Leopard where I would get 5-10 blue screens of death a day making working incredibly frustrating (or impossible) for several months. These days I wait until at least the first dot one patch, most of the time I wait even longer. It's really too bad they can't get the QA under control. It feels like every major Apple software release these days is littered with issues. Many feel like table stakes use cases which should have been caught.

This doesn't seem bad at all to me.
A per-post bearer token either input or generated at post time is a pretty straightforward way of doing this. The former would be similar to a temporary password; imageboard-style tripcodes use a similar mechanism for a different purpose (having awkward-to-forge “same author” marks in otherwise-unauthenticated posts by showing a hash of the display name + tripcode).
I doubt it is a matter of needing a second monitor, nobody said that. I can also live and work through the summer without aircon, doesn't mean it's not a very nice thing to have that can help with productivity.

I never understand people who object that they don't see the point of having a bigger table to lay out all their papers because layering them one over the other and swapping paper sheets or notebook pages is enough for them.

GUI's. Plain and simple. It's gotta be as absurdly easy to use like iMovie but at least have the basic capabilities of a Sony Vegas Home version (the $30 kind). Cutting, scrubbing, aligning, have multiple tracks, and for gods sake a simple and easy way to understand what I'm encoding/rendering (see Shotcut). KDENLive and Shotcut are two OSS video editors I've used simply because they're open source, but by god do they still have a long ways to go in terms of stability and ease of use.

For me, 99/100 times all I want to do is trim, split, have multiple tracks, have some fades, add text (animation or not), and lastly read and output various codecs.

Update: I had a thought right after posting. Basically if you could take Shotcut, but make it look and feel more like Sony Vegas, I think you hit the nail on the casual/semi-pro you're looking for.

It kind of does. I mean,it's not like they are practicing what they are preaching. If they really believe that sharing the wealth is the right thing to do then why are they reserving their argument exclusively to other companies and organizations?
Sure, but if the direction you oppose is leaving the EU, Ireland or any other EU member seems a more logical destination.

Now I'm curious. How does DCS handle IFF? Does it just abstract it to some general concept of IFF, or do you actually have to deal with the various modes and such? How does it handle different incompatible countries/generations of IFF?

Yup, this is why I've been holding off of upgrading to Big Sur along with this other external monitor deal breaker - https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/651131 .

To be honest, as a new OSX user after a subpar experience with my XPS 15 9550, I was really looking forward to the "It just works" experience with my $3K+ MBP 16, but I have been sorely disappointed. I get regular kernel panic induced shutdowns that I can reproduce when plugging several different MBP compatible docks. Some days, Zoom plus web browser will bring the entire machine to its knees and make it behave like a netbook from years past. Multi monitor support is a giant crapshoot and there is a 50-50 chance all monitors get recognized properly or you keep unplugging and replugging till all your monitors get recognized correctly.

Opening new apps feels excruciatingly slow due to OSX sandboxing and I feel like I'm using a subpar laptop from 8 years ago. Finder is still an abomination in comparison to any sane file browser.

At this point, the experience definitely hasn't been smoother than with my last XPS15, and I am likely to move back to Windows with my next laptop upgrade at work. I just get the feeling that developers or users like me are an afterthought when it comes to Apple.

my first osx version ever was snow leopard

That explains a lot. Snow Leopard was also my first OSX version, and I guess I got spoiled by the stability. In fact after using it for years, I don't remember a single kernel panic or crash. The best OS Apple ever shipped IMO. Everything after that was more buggy.
You and I may be defining the word friend differently. It's a really broad term that means different things to different people.

An unexpected benefit is my hands and wrists are positioned in such a way that I don’t get much strain / carpal tunnel. My hands get more stressed from using the touchpad than typing.

There was a lot of enthusiasm for Linux on the PS3 around release due to the Cell processor.

Free Trade agreement with China sounds like a potentially ruinous idea for British industry?

We’ve always just struck trade agreements with these countries until now. E.g. we export petrol and medicines to China and import electrical gizmos.

Australia’s a perfect trading partner in a lot of ways but it’s just too far away in a world that cares about reducing carbon footprints.

Post-Solarwinds, hopefully people will wake up to your point - any online device using components and softwares from complex supply chains isn't good enough. Heck, Intel, Microsoft and Cisco were breached through that, and that covers a very significant portion of the supply chain of the devices and software people use today (though admittedly not for the one example of an iPad).

Even if they want to use them for ML, this shouldn't be reason to reduce the perceived sensitivity of the data to let them sit on an online device, as the harm hasn't reduced. Hopefully we'll see more threat models based on the impact of harm, not on the convenience to business.

Not really. It's taking a feature that he paid for, and it was really cool to have access to that processor. At least it would have been. I wasn't really into machines at that point, but it would have been cool.
Visa/MC have several advantages over a federal regulator:

- they have a more regular feedback mechanism (if someone's db gets leaked, they get more fraudulent charges from that company's customers, so they can figure out whose security was bad, and this happens often)

- they have a more credible enforcement mechanism: they can and will turn off your ability to process CC transactions, while a federal regulator in many cases faces a lot of political pushback if they try to actually shut down a medical facility

- the intended (and actual) purpose of PCI was to reduce the number of operators actually storing CC data; if a federal regulator tried to make things onerous enough to force most medical facilities to not store medical data, there would be enormous pushback and they would be forced by Congress to back down

In the book, Gladwell examined how police officers made decisions. He looked at multiple scenarios and broke them down into thin slice moments. I’ve been pulled over seven times since reading that book. I know better about what the police officer may be anticipating , and more about their training. So when they approached my vehicle I watch their body language very carefully, and I remain “as calm as a Hindu cow.” For whatever reason, being extremely calm, and saying nothing unless I’m asked the question, throws them off so much that you can see this doubt come across their face. Like, did I pull the right car over? Did I read that wrong? Basically, teaching me to be extremely aware of the police officers behavior and body language has helped me positively navigate seven traffic stops

- Tesla Autopilot

- Facial recognition (photo sorting on iphones, better photos)

- Better graphical performance on Nvidia cards (https://developer.nvidia.com/dlss), also better compression for streaming.

- Much better translation

- Colorizing and repairing old photos

- Visual recognition allowing better search of images

I’m sure there are some I left out. I think we’ll see a lot more interesting applications (particularly around tooling) in the next few years.

Outside of the consumer space, there are also things that hint at more generalizable intelligence.

Check out GPT-3’s performance on arithmetic tasks in the original paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.14165)

Pages: 21-23, 63

Which shows some generality, the best way to accurately predict an arithmetic answer is to deduce how the mathematical rules work. That paper shows some evidence of that and that’s just from a relatively dumb predict what comes next model.

It’s hard to predict timelines for this kind of thing, and people are notoriously bad at it. Nobody would have predicted the results we’re seeing today in 2010. What would you expect to see in the years leading up to AGI? Does what we’re seeing look like failure?

> I continue to be disappointed with Apple's desktop
> experience.

Agree! I switched to MacOS during Tiger, and the experience has gotten steadily worse since then, double if you're not into the iOS-ification of their desktop OS. I know iOS is driving their +1T market cap, but come on.

So I pick up a beefy Windows machine for gaming and video editing. And Windows is just awful. They're trying, but it's still an inconsistent mess, UX all over the place depending on what first-party program you're in. I get some folks like it, but it isn't for me.

But I've also got various Linux distros running, and Gnome is actually really usable. And honestly I don't have a lot of bugs or missing functionality -- new Lenovo laptop, Arch or Ubuntu, everything just works out of the box, including external displays that don't even require an adapter because I have HDMI out! But there are definitely bugs and issues, and there's no software support. I'm lucky I get MS Teams so I can work with my coworkers, but I don't get virtual backgrounds. I'd kill for some first-class support from vendors, but I know why it doesn't happen.

Moral of this story: apparently, as we approach the year of the Common Era Two Thousand Twenty One, desktop computing is still a mess.

You should probably rethink what your industry is :).
Usually means labels, safety, privacy, worker rights, quotas, etc. The EU has a vast amount of regulations that protect consummers but make business harder/more expensive. The UK should retain most of those independently, will probably fudge some of them.
Yeah haha, it's particularly funny because the C++ STL supports:

- vectors: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/vector/vector/

- maps (dictionaries): http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/map/map/

right out of the box since the very first ISO C++ standard.
The personal side of this story is quite touching too. Two brothers, Bill and Ray, develop a microprocessor together. One brother Bill, dies. The remaining brother and those who formed the wedding party are the pallbearers at Bill's funeral. Bill's wife remarries, giving birth to the author. an amazing story and so personally written.
This one really opened my eyes between those who do/produce/create, and those that don’t.
Not to disagree with you as I agree with the sentiment, but as a counter data point, I've seen a number of quite serious beaches in the past where PCI/DSS clearly wasn't being followed, as CVV2 was compromised along with payment details. Often the merchants were too naive to even understand what was going on.

Clearly having straightforward gateways to handle payments can help retailers and raise the bar, but I never cease to be amazed at how many sites run third party scripts on pages processing sensitive information! Bonus marks for using third parties that let other third parties place code on the page!

I think we have 2 orthogonal aspects here - the presence or absence of a straightforward commodity solution, versus the presence of clear security guidelines. The former seems to be what drives better practices, whereas the latter is more guidance people ignore, due to lack of personnel and skills.
The point isn't a guiding rule for you, so it's not limiting on your actions. It's where I see red flags. And yes, but judgement is a good thing.
