Yes, you do that... but many Average Joes and Aunt Marges don't... they buy a phone, click the default settings, and their data gets sent to the cloud... when the storage on the phone is used up, the phone recommends deleting old, backed up photos, and they click yes.

I don't know exactly how much of Imgtech is still in these GPUs, but the coprocessor/firmware interface is Apple's own design, the AGX2 shaders are a completely new design, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple only keep paying Imgtech because they have patents on TBDR, and there is otherwise none of their IP involved any more.
Good for you. This isn't open-source though. It's capital intensive product development and people want to be paid for their efforts.

The 3rd party mouse situation on Macs is totally out of control.

I recently bought a Logitech G Pro X Superlight to use as my daily driver on an M1 Mac. The mouse, it’s amazing. But Logitech’s software is a fucking car crash. A casual perusal of Reddit and customer forums will confirm. Runs as root, Sensor DPI won’t stay set, on-board mode flat out doesn’t work, requires manually setting permissions on a config file in order to save settings (!), etc.

After struggling with it for several days - including trying to set it up in on-board mode on a Windows PC before bringing it across - to no avail, I finally came across Steermouse (http://www.plentycom.jp/en/steermouse/index.html). Was then able to fine tune cursor and scroll wheel speed and acceleration, middle and back / forward button customisations, etc. Nuked Logitech’s crap from orbit and never looked back.

I’ve had similar experiences over the years with multiple Logitech mice on multiple Intel Macs - mostly using Logitech Options instead of GHub. You just can never get it quite right.

So, PSA: if you’re on a Mac (AS or Intel), own a Logitech mouse and fucking hate your life, try your luck with Logitech’s software. Otherwise, get Steermouse.

EDIT: Forgot to mention: if all you want is button customisation and you don’t want to pay for Steermouse, Karabiner-Elements is free and will have you covered. You may already be using it anyway to, eg, remap your Caps key. It can’t do cursor or scroll wheel adjustments, though.
In that case you'd be horrified to learn what some large listed companies spend on their historical museums.

> why don't they produce semiconductors themselves

Apart from the different field of expertise at play (think manufacturing cooking equipment vs running a full-scale canteen), there's also environmental concerns. Looks like ASML has outsourced much of the production of key components to 3rd-party countries.

Electronics manufacturing has a considerable environmental impact (see articles about chemical soil/water pollution in china) and global north countries are happy to have others exploit their population and damage their environment in their place. This is similar to how the "recycling" industry operates.
It's a marketing move that cost them $150k and will get them talked about, featured in many publications, and seen as "hip".
Is it universal though? I thought handshaking was an alien concept in many Asian cultures.

Much like how the two finger swear is a European thing (reportedly to demonstrate that one still has their bow fingers attached and thus can still attack their foe -- but that might just be an urban legend) and thus many Asians have accidentally sworn on social media due to doing the V sign backwards, not realising it means something totally different in the west.
Oh the horror, regular people are protected and the chances they end up on the street are lower.
What are you talking about? How did we help them by fighting a pointless war for 20 years and killing a quarter of a million people?

The Taliban were ready to negotiate in 2001 in 2002 and in 2003. The Taliban were ready to hand over Bin Laden after 2001 provided the US would work with them (because they were desperate for legitimacy on the world stage).

Rather than offer them that and use that influence to better the world for Afghan people in a gradual, lasting, meaningful way, we fought a 2 decade war, destroyed their economy, caused massive brain drain, kept literacy from rising (still only 30% of Afghans are literate, Iran, another pariah state managed to basically make its entire population educated and literate in 20 years), and forced a people who mostly can't read or write to mimic Western style society and "freedoms" without actually understanding what the reasons for them are, all but ensuring they would disappear when the Taliban eventually came back to rule.

We were never going to make Afghanistan a US colony. They are clinging to planes because we destroyed their country and are now escaping back to our nice, developed homeland. If we had never gone in the first place, it might have been a better place now (and it might not have but it certainly isn't better because we invaded).

Copyright law governs the right to generate and use copies of a work, whether they are for distribution or your own use. It’s right there in the name: “copy” right.

If you can figure out how to use software code that someone else wrote, without making your own copy of it first, I suppose that would not be in violation. I’m not aware of any way to do that, though.
Media is very difficult on the internet. It’s not enough to upload a video and share it, it needs to be transcoded into several different formats (h.264/mp4, vp-9/webm, h.265/hevc), multiple resolutions (from 2160p to 280p) and multiple bitrates (to support low/high bandwidth) as well as different framerates (60/30fps), all while retaining sync with an audio track that gets completely separate processing and compression.

None of this is a simple task, and you also need to serve the correct files to the correct clients - fun!

Not necessarily; as a previous poster commented, it does depend on the ratio of vaccinated against unvaccinated as well.

If a population has 1000 vaccinated people and 100 unvaccinated, and ten of each end up in the hospital, it looks like the odds of ending up in the hospital are equal, since there's ten of each. However, in the vaccinated group it is only one out of every 100 that ends up in the hospital, while in the unvaccinated group it's one out of every 10.

This is why I was complaining about overview numbers being unavailable; typically you hear only one set of numbers but not the context that would let you interpret those.

Huh, interesting. I have an older Logitech G700s mouse, so it uses the older Logitech software. I never had any issue with it on a Mac. I only used it occasionally to adjust the onboard settings, and then forget about it for years on end.

I now have a G703 (so new G Hub software) and while I haven't tried that on the Mac, I can configure the onboard settings from Windows or from Linux [0] with no issues whatsoever (aside from setting a button to show the battery level, which, for some reason, doesn't work).

I agree with your sentiment there's political blackmail at work in big organizations, but you may be surprised to learn that it's not all/just anti-Trump. Trump is rightfully seen as a racist tyrant-to-be in liberal circles, but still has and had a lot of institutional/corporate support (which got him in power in the first place, and helped him attempt a coup early this year).

Just imagine what life is like as an anti-nationalist anti-capitalist worker. In most fields it's NOT an easy position to hold, because you've got both the good-thinking liberals and the hardcore fascists against you. And here we're just talking about ideas which are not written on your forehead, but the situation globally is really bad for women and people of color (for example) in a lot of industries/institutions.
Yes, but a lot also rarely changes. I wonder if they ever considered a hybrid approach that uses some of the more stable map data as a default which can be overridden by the computer vision system.

Hot take: there is no "bad" data.

It's a term we often hear, that implies there is "good" and "bad" data.

A dataset can have errors in labeling, be very small, be unbalanced, but all that can be managed with the proper methods.

THE biggest problem is when you training data does not correspond to the production use-case.

It's not that the dataset is "bad", it's just that the problem you're solving with your ML algorithm trained on that data does not correspond to the problem you're trying to solve.

The most "perfect" ML algorithm trained on the most "perfect" dataset for self-driving cars for example (for detection, segmentation of objects or whatever) made the US will have problems when the cars drive in an other country. Your MNIST-trained NN will have problems in a country where numbers are written slightly differently. Some people will put pictures of cats in your car model classification software. Pictures taken on a smartphone by your users will be different than your dataset scrapped on the web.

There is no bad data, just badly used data. And most of the work (and the most interesting part IMO) in ML is to identify, quantify and neutralize biases in models and differences between the data you have and the data the production system will work with.

'So society has accepted there will be accidents and fatalities? To quote you "Do you have a source?" '

Look at the laws and fatalities. It's clear that society accepts some fatalities. If they didn't, we would still be driving carriages or walking everywhere. Even the article on morality in this chain acknowledges that some fatalities are considered acceptable if the value derived is worth it.

"instead of saying that society has to normalize the scenario with the worst case negative externalities?"

How can you say it's the worst case to have larger vehicles like SUVs? One could view having only cars as having more negative externalities if it means preventing many people from doing the things they love? Especially if the pedestrian aspect can still be solved by other means, like reducing speed and safer city designs.

And then you'll eventually realize: having thousands of people getting intensive care at the same time until everyone either had it or died from it is moraly not acceptable. Why do you come up with the idea that it's better to increase capacity rather than using large scale vaccination efforts?

> vaccinated and unvaccinated are hospitalised are hospitalised with infections at similar rates (like is happening in the UK)

What makes you think that?

The sources that I have seen indicate very much otherwise. ZOE always includes these numbers, e.g.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94RYUr3wFJA&t=231s

Note that per capita it's much lower among fully vaccinated people.

Around 6:20 you can see the stark difference in hospitalisations and deaths between the (mostly unvaccinated) UK 2nd wave, and the (largely vaccinated) 3rd wave.

tl;dr: anti-vaxxers are not right. Again. Still.
Interesting. So far I've not encountered that effect.

I wonder if it's a result of applying the formula mechanically rather than actually listening to and empathizing with the person the NVCer is talking to.
