Right, I know about the JIT compiler in the user mode half of GPU drivers. It’s just much faster than the source code compiler.

It’s possible the DXBC byte code generation might work fast enough for their application without the overhead of the ubershader, or the complexity of their hybrid approach.

We don't know if the rules of physics will ever change, so I'd say "apple moving downwards" is a prediction, and also an experiment that could falsify the theory.
There’s no guarantee that Tim’s going to use his money for “good” causes, we’re entirely dependent on his good will.

He may go down the evangelical Christian path and fund a war of sex, abortions, gays, trans and people’s reproductive rights. That’s not even a hypothetical outcome, there’s plenty of millionaires and billionaires (like David Green) already funding that war.

Most state lotteries “fund education” but that’s usually a marketing gimmick. When there are shortfalls they find the money elsewhere and when there’s a surplus it finds it’s way to other things.

You could just as well say the lottery funds bond debt payments and general revenues fund education.

Turkey would be the best option because of the current exchange rates and inflation. I used to live in Izmir (most beautiful and "liberal" city in Turkey) before I move to UK. Here is a broad overview of our monthly cost for my family of three. If you are single, you can slash in half most of these.

- Rent: $430 A secure and modern 3 bedroom flat in Karsiyaka (the most popular neighbourhood)

- Utilities: $50 (electricity, gas, water etc.)

- Internet: $13 for 100Mbps

- Food: For $500 per month, you can eat like kings in Turkey.

- Transport: It costs $0.5 to get to the airport by train from Karsiyaka.

- Eating out: For $50, you can have a great dinner for two.

Moving money for ruthless violent people is profitable if done right, but value destroying for society.

Value, whether measured in safety, shelter, nourishment, entertainment, ownership, infrastructure, sense of belonging or whatever you wish, is best built when you can trust the people around you and thus focus your efforts on what is valuable rather than trying to prevent being hurt or robbed.

Note that above I didn’t count money as valuable, since it isn’t intrinsically.

I have 3 years old degoogled Lineage phone, because you can't really buy new phone with good camera and normal size, I am using phones without gapps since I lived in China and not really missing Google apps, onyl Google apps in my phone are GBoard (with no internet access) and GTRanslate which I don't really use

I'm running 10 year old thinkpad with SSD and more RAM and hooked external dispaly/mouse/kbd

I don't use features of my smart TV, because smart TCL was unbearably dumb, coudln't sideload anything, didn't have app store, so I bought Android TV stick (some cheap Xiaomi for 40USD) just so my kids can watch Youtube (dummy account, not that I woud use Google services anyway even on computer) since the one built in was constantly freezing and when they were away for vacation I enjoyed playing old games through emulators with gamepad

I have camera in kid's room, so I can check them in night, while watching torrented TV shows/movies from USB flashdrive plugged in my TV in living room (I've had Netflix for year and only thing I used it for was show Peppa pig to kids, still rather downloaded all my stuff through USB stick or hooked laptop with HDMI cable)

besides these, no smart devices in my household, no speakers, kids not using phones or tablets at all, while older is starting primary school, though they read a lot books, play with real toys and draw, not sure when I will introduce them to phones, not rushing

only social networks I use are Twitter and Reddit, ofc not with real name, I'm not backing up my photos anywhere online, only physical backups
Aha! Excellent, thank you.

For me refinements are a bit like meta-programming; I'm glad they exist but I think there's other ways to get the same result which are easier to live with.
I guess my point is that the leadership within Apple is a lot more diffuse than typical;

I believe most of Apple's value is from delivering a high degree of consistency and polish; owing to its culture of relentlessly developing the UX of their products.

Therefore the CEO's primary roles at Apple would be to maintain that culture, steer the ship into new segments, and discern when the public will care about those segments.

I think Cook has done a decent job of that.

Making it all possible with RnD and supply chain is another story, but also where Cook is known to excel so maybe I'm underselling him. Jobs had Cook so presumably Cook would find a Cook if he weren't Cook.

I don't know much about Microsoft but Balmer was definitely taking over a different beast than Cook.

This seems like an unusual “on call” experience. When I’m on call and something is wrong, there’s no negotiating if it’s a good time since the system is broken and needs to be fixed before it impacts (more) customers.

I have to be available anytime day or night to get online and solve an unknown problem and have to put my own life on hold to accommodate this need.

It sounds like you just occasionally get called by your boss who asks you to do work outside of normal business hours, not that you’re on call in the traditional sense.
San Francisco is not what I would describe as a "dense city".

It does appear to be true that grocery store availability in San Francisco is just a straight downgrade from what you can find in e.g. much of the rest of the Bay Area. But that's a choice by San Francisco, not some truth about cities.

SQL is an absolutely amazing domain specific language, but people keep building ORMs & other SQL abstractors. I get building one as a learning or resume project. I don't see how it's useful in most scenarios. Like, there's some difficulty breaking up the queries in a logical way (which leads to duplication), so the solution is another library that you need to write or install and learn how to use?

Even if it's easy to use, I can't imagine it'd take less time to read the documentation than to write some SQL. And then there's another dependency; Another thing to check if there's performance issues, another attack vector.

> Is there a visualization that tells the story that deaths due to covid weren't a big issue?

Yes, sort of. There was a great paper in CHI this year discussing how heterodox communities use visualizations (https://dl.acm.org/doi/fullHtml/10.1145/3411764.3445211). The rough conclusion is that visualizations do not just empower people to express the truth but are also used in skilled ways by heterodox communities.
Stuff like that sucks, absolutely, but again it's not a huge factor to the UK economically. That money passed through, it didn't land in the UK. The impact on us economically was probably in the 10s of millions. Total Russian investment into the UK is only about 1% of all foreign investment, which itself is 20% of GDP. So 0.2% of our economy is linked to Russia at all.
That however goes both ways.

Some days you will quickly burn through six tasks on your list because they turn out to domino or all be easy or something else. Sometimes, a single item will take three days even with honest effort and deep work.

If "tasks done" is your metrics, you will get just as burned here.

As with all long-term habit building, I think the key here is identity forming. Be convinced that you are a person that (for example) cares about exploring their field with side projects and then ask yourself: "What would this person do?"

If you believe yourself, you will then both fight through your tasklist or do X hours of honest works and find that the actual system does not even matter that much.
His concern is that there could be long term side effects. You claim that if there were, they would already have shown up. Why do you think that? And why doesn't he accept your reasoning for that belief? You are wasting your time reading papers that don't find anything in my opinion. That wouldn't convince me.

The things that I would have an issue with are:

1. Is there an effective treatment that's less risky than the vaccine (e.g. Ivermectin)?
2. Can we safely assume that adverse effects of the vaccines have been properly tracked and investigated since vaccinations began?
3. Is there any historical precedent for vaccine side effects becoming known after this time period (since Covid vaccinations began)?

A rational person will get vaccinated if you can settle these questions in favor of the vaccines. Note, I'm assuming that the person takes the threat of getting covid seriously. There's a common misconception that everyone who doesn't want to get vaccinated thinks that it's all a big joke and covid is no worse than the flu. This is not true. Lots of vaccine-hesitant people take covid seriously.
Relevant (to me): This is due to the deal Apple made with Tim a decade ago. I took a screenshot of HN the day Jobs died. I also have the WSJ from that day, but it's buried in a box somewhere.

Answering as a thinking exercise: probably not, or, only if you change your life drastically.

E.g. if you own a car there must be parts in it made in China, even things like screws or connectors. Are you allowed to take public transport for this self-imposed "embargo"?

I guess even your power company has components made in China. Hey, let's buy solar panels and go off-grid, oh wait...
You haven’t read my other replies in this thread (You’re wrong: I have addressed co-morbidity) and you refuse to disclose your vaccination status. I have nothing more to say to you; productive discussion at this point is not possible.
"Long term effects of vaccines would already show up"

Well, the FDA's site for Comitarny says they don't know the potential longterm outcomes associated some side effects and are requiring Pfizer to perform post marketing studies on it. So it's reasonable to question that. Some autoimmune conditions can take years to manifest too. Like you said, you have to weigh the known/unknown risks of covid with the known/unknown risks of the vaccine. Different people will weigh those differently.

The real thing to look at is moral principle rooted in the natural law. This is why tradition is important. It is a dialogue occurring through history done in humble acknowledgment that we cannot "start from scratch" and do better just like that.
- Because the people that already found a way to display the scarcity of their talent or abilities don't need to subject themselves to a system that measures them by their productivity.

- Because it is not on "us" to try to change this at an universal scale. I am all for people that believe in communist ideals and go to live on their own with like-minded people. The problem is those that take this to totalitarianism and think something like "communism can only work if it everyone does it"

- Because history has witnessed already many people that tried to change this reality without ignoring scale, and ended up causing more problems that solutions, destroyed more wealth and made the world worse than they started off.

The context of this is that proponents of string theory say it predicts gravity and hence is a successful theory of quantum gravity. However it also can predict many other things that wouldn't make sense in our universe depending on what parameters you use. The key point is that it doesn't really make any new predictions we can currently test at energy scales we can reach (from what I understand).
I think if we go heavy handed against wealth inequality then we should also legislate conservative spending by governments. This money can’t go to the fund next Afghanistan or to Israel to fund another settlement.

Maybe, but how do you know who they are? Judging talent, especially executive talent at the outset is extremely hard.

It sure seems like whatever Tim Cook is doing is working. Remember when Apple went through three CEOs in a decade and nearly went bankrupt? Mismanagement of a company for even a few years can put a company in a tailspin for a decade. For a mature successful company Tim Cook is exactly what you want. Why mess with success?

A better swimming pool analogy would be if you hired a lifeguard for a swimming pool but only paid them if they had to rescue someone.
Ah yes, that is quite a problem.

I would consider carefully if it is really worth it for you. Making tables responsive is utterly hellish.

But what you can do is make the table horizontally scrollable. This isn't too complex but, of course, it creates a new problem which is: what do you do if the user needs to look at one col at the start of the table and one col at the end? In the cases where I have added scrolling, I froze the first col (which gets a little involved when you have to freeze the first col and then scroll all the others). It is tricky, afaik there are no library impls of this, but there are no other options if you have a really data-heavy website and mobile users.

A strong implementation of horizontal scrolling with first col freezing is the NBA's stats website - https://www.nba.com/stats/player/201566/

Doing cards is a definitely an option in some circumstances but if you are building an application where the user needs to scroll through rows then it becomes problematic. For example, if you have a website like the NBA...it makes sense (I think) to do cards for a team's upcoming matches...you don't need to display a whole lot of information (the opponent, the date, the venue), users aren't going to scroll through 20 rows. But if you are doing a player's stats with lots of columns and users might want to go back 10 years and compare AST today with AST 10 years ago...then cards aren't a good solution.

> Reason over authority should be prior enough, shouldn't it? If the author makes a compelling argument then according to the authority of your own faculty of reason this should be afforded as much trust as you put into anything.

Certainly one shouldn't believe everything an expert says uncritically, and anyone is entitled to investigate even the most authoritative pronouncement, but I think believing that pure reason, without the benefit of specialist training, is the equal if not the better of expertise and experience can lead one all too quickly down the wrong path.

(For example, pure reason definitely rebels at first against quantum mechanics--at least, mine does, and I'm a mathematician!)
You sure it wasn't Jobs? Looks to me like Cook just kept things going about the same as Jobs would have (at least the last version of him).

I do wonder how long it's gonna last.
Yes. I guess you want to live in a world where taxes are optional and we hope people like Tim Cook would charitably repair failing bridges and provide healthcare to communities.
Absolutely, refinements are the most legit way of monkeypatching. I could almost bet the author doesnt know about it, had he known there is no way anyone would forego mentioning it when it was specifically introduced to address the title of the post.
That's so discorrect.
Go to some country like the United States, where we have nice things like weekends and 40-hour work weeks because we had a rather successful labor movement in the early 20th century because of discussions like this. We used to have children working in coal mines, and now we don't largely because people spoke out. Thank god for them.
And then, a few years down the line, “adding a simple button” takes a month because the foundation is rotten, the architecture is garbage, and spending any time refactoring or writing tests is “gold polishing” and “unnecessary work”. Never mind that everyone is afraid of changing anything in the application because ten other seemingly unrelated things will break. Fun times.
That people should only have what they “need” as determined by [you?] is a political/moral philosophy that is quite controversial.
What has been the remarkably great move from Apple in the last 10 years?
Develop their iTunes store to provide more media and bring in-house productions to have a more of a moat?
Develop their own silicon to decrease reliance on others?
Develop products that can take advantage of their strengths, a la Tags?
Move into services as most of the world is getting more Apple-product saturated?
Extend ownership of their product lifecycles, by being hostile towards 3rd party repairs?
Offer financial services to allow the less fortunate to obtain your products?
I don't want to detract from the respect that's due for these moves, but they are not that far off the beaten path for a market leader looking to solidify it's position in it's place. Most other improvements to their products and services have been incremental. Of course, there is something to be said about not straying from the light, as other companies have done. However, I do think that Apple's valuation is somewhat tied to the buying power of the world, and on the timescale's we're looking at, more and more people are gaining access to Apples products as the world economy improves. All of these are great things, and of course I'm talking with hindsight, but to me these all feel like strategies that seem somewhat obvious and will generally work wonders when executed from the position of a market leader.
Not really, you can use any real (fiat) or virtual (cryptocoin) unit you want, conversion at a given time is always possible, my question was whether the "collection" was sold as a whole (be it 80 Ether or US $ 255,000 or whatever) and bought by a single buyer, or if each whale was sold separately (and then we would have 3,350 buyers) or what?
