I would go the exact opposite route for this exact reason: something like 24Kbit ADPCM or 16Kbit G728 can provide an absolutely decent quality with only a 5 ms delay. This kind of bandwidth is now available in the vast majority of VoIP scenarios, an 100ms 3Kbps codec is only relevant for the extreme niches.

> Does it build infrastructure, feed people, and heal wounds?

The answer to all these is yes.

> Build infrastructure

Maybe not build but affects design. Civil engineers often use models from cognitive psychologists during the planing phase. E.g. how tall and how luminescent should the traffic lights be to optimize energy savings without risking safety? Or close to a dense population center can we build an airport before the sound pollution starts posing public health risks? Or even: “Is it wise to build water pipes with lead?’

> Feed people

To the same extent that quantum mechanics feeds people, by granting jobs and building models, maybe optimize some aspects of food distribution. A psychologist certainly can affect what food people choose. Food companies have a bunch of psychologists working in their marketing. And governments might hire psychologists to help persuade people to eat healthier food.

> heal wounds

This one is easy. Depression is a deadly disease. Psychotherapy is our best way to treat mild to moderate depression. And even sever depression is best treated with drugs and psychotherapy. Psychologists are saving lives every day. You asked about feeding people above, many people have been cured of anorexia because of psychologists. Behavior therapy is the best way we know of to treat many phobias and obsessive compulsive behavior. PTSD can develop into deadly depression if left untreated. This is also prevented with psychotherapy.

Note that none of the above examples have anything to do with IQ. If IQ goes away, psychologists will still continue their work in improving and saving peoples lives with better infrastructure, better public health policies, and by literally healing (or at least treating) peoples wounds.
> That's not exactly what happened. "they give you a credit at purchase time"

That would still be a refund on the Apple Card. "amount of the credit [...] to my Apple Card balance." means Apple refunded a portion of the balance.

> Anyway, the important point you're missing is that if Apple was dealing with a Chase card, Apple would not be out any money

They sure would if they accidentally credited your Chase card. Apple's site says

"Once we receive it, we’ll inspect it and verify its condition. If everything checks out, we’ll credit your original purchase method and send you any remaining balance on an Apple Gift Card by Email."

If they erroneously "credit your original purchase method", they would, in fact, be out of money. Dustin was erroneously credited. I don't see how it would be any different, other than it seems Dustin got his credit instantly, if his tweets were accurate.

If they instantly credited me and I sent them a lump of coal in the trade in, they would be, in effect, out of money, regardless if it was an Apple Card or a Chase card.

I wonder if the same flow applies to text messages, since as I understand it - they're all integrated.

The thing I'm thinking of it:

1. Find the number of $AppleEmployee

2. Spoof a text message from $AppleEmployee to yourself.

3. Report that as spam.

Would 3 even work, and if so - would it have any impact on that employee's Apple account.
Pretty much that’s the case. US is #1 buyer.

That's a bit reductive as many mental health disorders rarely exist in isolation and are often "symptoms" of other issues. OCD, for example, may certainly have a high correlation with autism, but its manifestation has also been observed in victims of trauma and those with severe, untreated generalized anxiety disorder.
The post simply does not have enough information to distinguish between:

Apple Retail in mid-February decided to authorize a charge for the difference and reached out to me when the charge did not post.

and

Apple Retail decided to force me to resolve my credit card balance because I was revolving.

In both cases, Dustin would see a transaction appear on his card transaction history before the merchant learns that the payment won’t post. In your terminology, pending and posted transactions can both be “billed” but they are very different for the merchant in terms of liability.

Furthermore, credit cards aren’t an unregulated Wild West. A minimum payment must be delinquent for 90 days before banks can start moving towards collections. Goldman Sachs is not cavalier enough to risk having the state of New York investigating their bank over a very creative definition of what isn’t collections. In addition, Apple Card offered extremely generous payment terms during the pandemic - there is no reason to believe they’d start aggressively collecting now.

In addition, if the email from Apple was about collections on a credit card, it is required to have a host of disclosures before the contents which are not present in the complete excerpt posted on the blog. Even more evidence that this action had nothing to do with the credit card balance.

Finally, a poster reported the same experience with a PayPal payment method gone bad.

There is no reason to believe this issue stemmed from Apple strong-arming people into paying off their Apple Card revolving credit balance.

I think our impressions are colored about by our different observations of those around us, and this conversation is probably colored by our definitions of success.

This thread kicked off with someone who escaped poverty and made it to the middle class. I am not talking about the fetishization of the hyper-rich.

I do think that with persistence, hard work, and an average allocation of luck most people are capable of achieving a comfortable job and a happy middle class life.

In my observations, a lack of personal responsibility for improving your situation is much more harmful than idealizing the successful. For every person I know held back by some sense of inferiority, blaming themselves, I know 10 stuck in a shitty situation by complacency. I see skilled people in miserable jobs who could be interviewing, people lonely or shitty marriages they should change. I see people who are unhappy with their heath but make no change. Many of these people think, "I am just unlucky" and resign themselves to their situation.

While you don't think people will ever stop struggling, I'm not convinced. People can become disillusion and hopeless if you tell them their effort has no correlation with their success in life.

Some say that the "American Dream" of getting ahead with hard work is a lie, but I think the idea that your efforts have no impact on outcomes is an even bigger lie, and a more dangerous one.
My guess is that because in most common x86_64 calling conventions the caller is responsible for destructing the parameters, it has to run the unique_ptr parameter destructor which needs to check if it was moved from in the callee or not. Additionally, because this destructor is not a trivial one (i.e. it does something), unique_ptr cannot be passed directly through a register but must be spilled on the stack.
What if other people exploit your platform in order to direct culture, though? If you run a bar and after a year or two you realize that all of your patrons are nazis, presumably because their passionate discussions drove away anyone who overheard them, then any action you take to promote your bar is effectively promoting that ideology and directing culture in a rather unsavory direction. What do you do then?

You don't need to actually own a platform to leverage it for your side in a culture war, you only need to know how to exploit it. If you want your platform to be neutral, you need to monitor and moderate it carefully: if you don't choose what culture permeates your platform, others will be glad to choose for you, and I think it's foolish to think it'll be any better.

I don’t believe that Open Source == Less Secure. See also: Linux, Ngix, Postgres... Many many open source projects are secure. They’re not perfect but an argument could be made that they’re more secure BECAUSE they’re open.

Software with crosshairs on its back practicing garbage security practices will be pwnd the same regardless of it’s open-ness.

Honestly. With a lot of the tools out there these days. I question if it’s even faster to hunt security bugs by reading the source rather than just attempting common exploits via tooling.
The fundamental being in or out of the set is less interesting to me than the (useful, to me in my day to day) distinction between overtones and harmonics.

But that is the thing, what if it isn't a codec? What if it is simply a set of model parameters, a generative model, and a stream of fiducial bits which trigger the model? We have already seen some of this with generative models that let you generate voices that sound like speaker data used to train the model right? What if, instead of say "i-frames" (or what ever their equivalent would be in an audio codec) you sent "m-frames" which were tweaks to the generative model for the next few bits of data.

Thank you for this explanation.

I think part of the reason people end up in these situations is because they don't think about things from the systems perspective. And in most cases, they don't need to, so long as everything stays on the happy path. But I think knowing the general nature and structure of a system, whom it ultimately serves and why can help one avoid situations where things will go sideways, or if they do, give one a better chance at remedying things.

> its manifestation has also been observed in victims of trauma and those with severe, untreated generalized anxiety disorder

Makes sense, OCD rituals are a way to take control for people who feel the world is uncontrollable and scary and might hurt them.

There might be some genetic predisposition but I imagine environment/society is a huge factor. Make people feel safe and loved and they'll realize it doesn't really matter if their faucets drip a little or their books are skew. Conversely, if you live in a crime ridden area, it totally makes sense to worry about whether your door is locked.
Before taking "constitutional" free speech for a concept, we have to understand that free speech is a prescriptive social norm.

It happens to have a constitutional instantiation. That instantiation happens to be expressed as a restriction on the government's chartered power; this is an artifact of the process by which it was drafted, i.e. as part of a collection of proposed restraints on the powers federal government.

No reasonable person should confuse the very limited constitutional guarantee given to free speech with the norm itself.
It's still the same division as always. Linux and other UNIXes on x86 and x86_64 generally use AT&T syntax. The rest of the x86 world uses Intel syntax. And of course *nix has always been a minority on x86.

> I've coded in a dozen other assembly languages for various processors, but Intel chips seem to be the only ones with two different assembly language syntaxes,

It's a historical quirk. Generally, today if there is a widely used and accepted assembler syntax targeting the architecture, UNIX porters would use that assembler's syntax. GAS accepts normal ARM style syntax, for example.

But that's today. x86 is ancient. And so is UNIX on the x86. Going all the way back to the late 1970s, the 8086 was one of the first microprocessors that could host a decent UNIX environment. The rush was on as soon as the chip was released. (Most of the porting fervour would shift to the 68000 about 18 months later when that came out.)

There was no established assembler aside from the one from Intel. MASM wouldn't be written for another couple years. UNIX at this point already had a full quasi-portable toolchain, which of course was familiar to the porters. And they planned to live in an all-UNIX world anyway. The only assembly anyone would ever write would, hopefully, be a dozen lines in the kernel. So they just adapted what they had and what worked. The old PDP-11 UNIX assembler, backwards syntax and prefixes and all. And here we are 40 years later.
I see little reason to believe that a first party payment method is anything more than a red herring. It seems like Apple Retail has a policy in general to shut down Apple IDs for customers with negative balances, and it just so happened that this negative balance was due to payment issues with a first party card. Others have reported similar outcomes when paying with PayPal.

Yes, this is a frequent and somewhat well-founded critique of FB, which has been accused on multiple occasions of knowingly/negligently facilitating violations of human rights at scale, despite repeated warnings about the risks. Facebook PR has tended to oscillate between happy-sounding blurb about upholding free speech, building communities etc., and zapping large numbers of problematic accounts and groups after the company has been embarrassed, though without any semblance of external accountability.

It's certainly not FB's raison d'etre but it has been an ongoing problem that the firm has been reluctant to confront.
