I went a slightly different route with similar reasoning:

- Recognized I'm increasingly helping new founders at an advisory level (tech around GPU/graph/cyber/fraud/data, business around b2b/go-to-market/fundraising), and am generally happy to help new founders with 1-2 calls, but limited time...

- Lucky enough to have some personal liquidity, where good to have X% be volatile, and some time to leverage my areas of market insights (e.g., light advisory for VCs/enterprises/...)...

- ... so I started lightly investing in early stage funds I like + offer to help the funds with a bit of dealflow + help the portfolio founders with light advisory. Wider portfolio, better due diligence, and I can provided more targeted help where everyone benefits.
Underwhelming. I guess I keep my Series 4 another year.
I agree we shouldn't listen to noise, but small effect size is not necessarily noise. (I agree it is highly correlated.) I mean, QED's effect size on g factor is 1.001. QED was very much worth finding out.
The camera bump on bump on bump design is really disappointing to see. There must have been a better way to deal with this surely? I can only imagine all the dust and grime build-up in all those ridges, especially in between the three cameras.
>> A&W failed with the third-pounder because they had bad marketing and because they failed to understand the marketplace to achieve product-market fit,

Right.

>> not because Americans are too dumb to understand fractions.

Wrong. They did research and found that to be a significant factor.

I'm sure there's /some people/ who don't understand fractions, but the vast majority of people I've met understand fractions and use them in their daily life...

That's what I thought years ago when I first heard about this, but you might need to get out into other parts of the world. I see at least 2 kinds of people who will make the mistake 1) People with no math ability (these really do exist) and 2) People who could easily see the difference if they thought about it even a little bit, but 3 vs 4 is smaller at first glance and they never bothered to "think" about it. There are a lot of the second kind of people too. Advertising doesn't usually need people to think, in fact they usually don't want you to do that.
Mods, might I suggest striking everything after "Apple unveils new iPad mini"?
> When 9/11 happened it united the country. COVID should have done the same thing, but it has been used as a political tool instead, bringing out the worst in people. It makes me quite depressed when I think about it for too long.

I've felt this way too. People have made this so incredibly, incredibly divisive. I'm not sure what blend of fear and tribalism is driving this either. When you talk to some people about covid, what comes out of their mouth is almost word salad--they are so incredibly fearful and panicked that almost none of what they say makes sense. The idea that society should completely alter everything for this one specific illness (aka "new normal") is pretty absurd, yet people will stop just short of spitting on your face when you express any skepticism at all.

Societies reaction to this is all just so freaking bizarre. None of what we are doing adds up or makes much sense when you really start asking questions.
Yes, as an American when I was driving across Alberta I was absolutely astounded by how many A&Ws there were and how nice they seemed. At least in my corner of the US, A&W has a thorough reputation as a cheap, lame has-been that's usually tandemed with other failed fast food brands. The only one I know of in the state regularly garners comments that "wow, that still exists?" when driving by.

In Canada, on the other hand, it seems to be a major and well-liked brand... As much as I found the slogan "American food" very funny given their reputation here.
These strategies are not mutually exclusive, are they?
I noticed that Azure is charging significantly less for Ice Lake even though the MSRP is the same.
A peculiar difference between the Pro and non-Pro versions is the A15 GPU: the Pro has a 5-core GPU, and non-Pro has a 4-core GPU.

Besides that, this is as rumored, except without the Always On Display.

You think Facebook specifically crafts algorithms to make teen girls self-conscious...?
Maybe you're just trying to catch them on wording, but if you're actually wanting them to make it completely bezel-less... I don't think you actually do

It's hard enough to grip the previous iPad minis from the side, an entirely bezel-less tablet would have nowhere to hold it without touching the screen
No desktop apps. Dead on arrival. I bet they barely even sell twice as many of these things as their laptops and desktops combined.
Is there a good reason that Touch ID can only be on the iPad Mini and must be replaced by Face ID on the iPad Pro? Face ID works terribly for students that use their iPad Pro face-up on a desk or table where the camera isn't directly pointed at the user's face.

It would be much easier to just place my finger onto the power button whenever it's time to transition from listening to a lecture to writing notes.
Every time. Every fucking time. And what if this post hadn't blown up on HN? This guy would just be screwed? If I want to use Stripe should my risk matrix include "fingers crossed HN picks up my story if I get shafted"?
It's a good point, but I was not thinking of using some other crypto currency instead, but just normal money (I don't have to make the amount on my account public to pay by credit card)
In general if you do it with a namespace you could probably have done it with a lightweight VRF instead. If VRFs hadn't taken nearly a decade to land in the kernel you'd probably see these much more commonly used.

Another use case from the original network reason VRFs were made would be conflicting IP space or hanging a single physical device connected to multiple disparate local networks.
Apple macOS/iOS vulnerability CVE-2021-30860
Cool and that tens of billions that you claim they dumped into research has done absolutely almost nothing for anyone at all. We don't have Amazon wind farms we don't have any Amazon solar panels and battery packs hooked up to our houses we don't have any EV cars from Amazon. We have a richer centric billionaire making really crappy low earth orbit rockets and stealing everyone's money.

Congratulations! This is really well done!

Besides the eng feat of fitting everything in 13kb, this demo captures the essence Quake 1 gameplay and aesthetics really well. Everything is different - characters, textures, weapons, etc. - but somehow it still feels very much like Quake 1.
Its been a while since I have had to deal with one, but at the time the IDE didn't handle it well at all. I think it was because I was missing the Lombok plugin.

TBH, it was a lot of trouble so that someone could avoid generating a couple of getters and setters, and could use a annotation to setup the logger. I realize that there are more features available than that, but the ones that I've seen often used it in such mundane and boring ways that the setup wasn't worth the hassle for me.

But I guess we all get annoyed with minor hassles in different ways. I got annoyed with the hassle of setting up an IDE, they got annoyed with getters and setters more. :)
I was really impressed by the Cinematic Mode “whodunnit” video… In a different context, I’d never have guessed it was filmed on iPhone.
Not only do they have two connectors, they have two different Apple pencils too. Need to make sure you buy the right one.
Could have made the back flat and used the extra volume for batteries.
I've had one of those designs for several years now, less than you think, I clean my phone once every couple months, and I have never found a bunch of grime of build up there.
Looks like a bare minimum update.

I honestly don't know what else can be added to it.
Correct. People might have the expectations of successful open source projects requiring marketing and community outreach pushes. Maybe those things aren't remotely interesting to the author?

Maintaining a public road map for example, that seems like boring busy work to me. If a project is truly dead anyone is free to fork or create a new project and spend their free time putting in the never-ending work.

"If you have expectations (of others) that aren't being met, those expectations are your own responsibility. You are responsible for your own needs. If you want things, make them."
A lot of the user interfaces we use today are "better" than what we had in the old days. The old generic windows and buttons and whatnot don't work on a finger touch input. Switching apps via gestures, visual cues by animation, use of space, effects to bring things in and out of focus, a lot of things have been refined and evolved over the years.

Yes, things are not perfect but claiming that designers are making everything difficult while programmers would have just made everything better albeit not as pretty looking is really not a fair assessment. I mean, preference and general nostalgia, I get it, but it's a bit much.

Getting raw access to your data also wasn't a breeze in the past with program often having their own binary formats and not exposing any programmatic interface at all to get data in or out. Not sure how this relates to the cloud.
The article hit the pocket pretty exactly for how I felt I needed to explain it. (Actually I had the same experience where I thought I would be able to go over it quickly and then I felt like I was getting mired.) The graphs look great too - I've been able to explore it pretty well with JupyterLab but I can't export that into something super-interactive that is read-only. I've thought about creating an idyll page out of it to help others explore but that's a bit overkill for the work style our team has.

I think the weirdly-shaped long-tail graphs we come across are just sums of more naturally-distributed response times, for different types of responses. Another reason to limit variation I think.
“Some” as in dozens (for my apps, at least). It’s a solution, but not a great one. The projects I depend on will have to remove such usages eventually to avoid awful UX (and avoid punching holes in encapsulation).
Would you, as a company CEO go on stage and announce "this camera is pretty much on par with the one last year and the CPU is the same too and actually we kinda lost a bit of battery life"? :D
> Money is so easy to get these days, especially at the pre-seed level, that the highest-quality companies are not even running a formal process but instead just hitting up their network.

I very much agree with that. Seed rounds used to be, on average, a lot more formal and rigid in the past. Raising $10k-$100k today is far, far more trivial than it was twenty some years ago. The distribution of angels is far greater, there are simply a lot more of them all over the US than they were in eg the 1990s, everything is a lot more casual at that scale today. It was plain difficult to talk to small investors outside of a professional VC context back then (angel tech investors outside of SV in the 1990s were a bad experience overwhelmingly), the language didn't exist, the angel investors were more often very inexperienced, and the angels didn't tend to know squat about the technology industry or the Internet generally (again, outside of SV). Some combination of increased distribution, more real wealth nationally, tech spread (today it touches nearly everything at all times), and inflation debasing what $10k-$100k means now (you have to increase that by 77% (!) to adjust the 1996 dollar to 2021).
Speaking of PCEngines, about a month ago I read a blog post about a personal project involving a prototype APU with an optical port and other improvements, but I can't find anymore.

Does anyone know more?
The main advantage is that Optional is inconvenient and forces you to consider the null case. It's easy to forget that values can be null and assume they're not, e.g. auto-unboxing

Long getSomeValue();

int max = Math.max(0, obj.getSomeValue());

The Optional value forces you to type some text basically acknowledging that the value can be null.

Optional<Long> getSomeValue();
... obj.getSomeValue().get());

I'm not saying Optional is a great solution. It's essentially a notification that a value is nullable.
> Businesses don't owe you a product (before you pay for it) any more than you owe them loyalty after you pay for something.

This is itself a moral claim. You may choose to base your morals on capitalism, but capitalism itself doesn't force that moral choice.

> That's the point of markets and competition.

And the point of landmines is to blow people's legs off, but the existence of landmines does not morally justify blowing people up. Markets are a technology and our moral framework should determine how we employ technologies and not the other way around.
I'm actually glad this came up into my feed, because I see Elite Force had a new release this summer. My tactical gaming group would love to do another playthrough.
You can thank the ACA for that.
Doesn't seem like a big enough improvement over the 12 to warrant the price difference? I'm on the iPhone X and will likely get the 12.
The notch works pretty well tbh. It disappears after like 2 minutes of using it and on iOS was just dead space anyway.
Very happy to see ProMotion is there, and the camera advances are impressive/useful.
You can leave out the second part of the title, it doesn't provide anything useful.
It is so frustrating that there is not a single mention of improving battery life, which is the one feature that I want.

I really like the idea of the apple watch, but I have a Garmin now that requires weekly charging. I can't imagine going back to daily charging. The older smart watches and bands that I had before required charging every 24-48 hours and I often had a dead watch at just the wrong time (like just before a workout).
I do pay for iPhone and Safari comes preinstalled on iPhone. Maybe either Apple should be liable for Safari or Safari should not be preinstalled on iPhone. You can't have it both ways.
Kia has cheap to expensive cars and Rolls Royce has exclusively expensive cars.
May be Rolls Royce was a stretch. But I definitely clarified it in that comment itself by saying 50-Anything. Apple may or may not be called luxury items. But they’re viewed as premium items by general public around the world.
People look towards iPhone in awe than a samsung galaxy s21 ultra.
Worst Apple event in years. Even for incremental updates, these are weak.
Well I would use my personal account for my baguette :)

> Now what does the nuclear power house France do to counter this change in demand? Hint: it is (to 99%) not to regulate nuclear power.

Nukes are baseload, you don't vary those plants' output when you don't have to, especially when you can use the consumption downtime to refill the pumped hydro.

However french nukes are built for load following, and they can absolutely shed and recover quickly when that's useful: https://energy-charts.info/charts/power/chart.htm?l=en&c=FR&... https://energy-charts.info/charts/power/chart.htm?l=en&c=FR&... https://energy-charts.info/charts/power/chart.htm?l=en&c=FR&...

> Nuclear is very bad as a variable energy source and therefore, aside for nuclear carriers, nowhere the only source of power. It would be nice if it were, but it is not.

Literally nobody but you even hinted that nukes could (let alone should) be the sole power source.
You can hold the phone with one hand, with fingers on one side and thumb on the other.

You're going to need to be able to grip an edge of the iPad—even the mini—so it needs a little more space for that.
I love when people complain about how Tesla receives tons of government subsidies, ALWAYS neglecting to mention that they're dropping the bucket compared to what the other gasoline car manufacturers get in subsidies every year...
That’s not really a reason to restrict its installation to users that have a US iCloud account only. People travel, move, or have interests in other areas than their home country.
So... exactly what the iPhone 14 is rumored to be?
I don't think fashionable is the right word since doomers really don't care about what's popular.

For me personally, I just watch society and i think we are on our last chapter as a species.

> Apple does not support webRTC technology for video calls in this browser. Please switch to Safari.

Despite visiting the website from Safari, the above message is shown for some reason.

WebRTC has been supported by WebKit since the past few years, so your information is outdated &/or the library being used for abstraction is not up-to-date.

Are you handling users behind a NAT using a TURN server too?
Haven't been to Scotland then.
Video recording features look really nice, not that most of us need that.

I was mostly interested in A15 chip data, as a hint on what can I expect from the new laptops. But as usual, they just provide some random percentages comparing the chip to "leading competitor" or something. So we still need to wait and see.
I feel like this would be mentioned in a typical undergraduate wave mechanics course taught in a typical American university, but I have not been to enough undergraduate wave mechanics courses in enough American universities to know, really.
I cannot believe that 4 years latter they still have the notch.

> Every single company that sells things does this.

Software companies moving from update releases to subscription models are a great counter-example. There's plenty of bad sides to a subscription model, but at least PR and marketing departments can be much more honest about slow and incremental updates.
Can you go into more detail of why you think we need to be critical of designers? The GP makes no effort to justify their criticism of designers, perhaps you can provide some reasons for it, and thereby allow people to respond to actual arguments.
Nothing was going to get scanned on iOS either, unless you had "upload to Apple servers" enabled...
I am pretty sure that the best course of action for those of us in this situation is to hide who we are and submit to other's will, or starve to death.

You're right it's going to be the industrial level where we're actually going to feel the effects, so i think I will still go with the person who's making a giant electric gigafactory to make electric cars not polluting entirely everything.
Still lightning not USB-C. I long for the day I only need a USB-C charger/cable.

> For a small country like Taiwan it may be enough to make the attack painful enough that it's not worth it to larger power. This essentially was(and is) Switzerland's defence strategy.

It's worth noting that China isn't just "a larger power," it has a particular fixation on Taiwan. It may not be deterred as easily as you think. IIRC, Taiwan acquiring nuclear weapons is one of their stated red lines that would trigger a war.

If Taiwan managed to nuke a Chinese city when it's invaded, it would probably just make the Chinese madder.
Same. 14 looks like it’s the next gen design.

I have had an X since the day it shipped and the fact that its still a decent phone for daily use is a testament to how much of a leap it was at the time.
You are right that it's just sales language, but people, tech folks in particular, don't have to like it and it's nothing wrong to voice their complaints. In fact it would be quite freshing today if some company start talking down to earth languages, like "hey we are giving you basically the same phone as last year with slightly better camera etc. It's useful though."
Would you be down to write a blog post about how a "degoogled phone" still scans your data and sends it to Google? Let's say a Pixel 5 with CalyxOS? I didn't know thats the case.

Tbh, I'd even love to see a current blog post on how much and what data a "semi-degoogled" random OEM phone with the shipped Android sends.

Or maybe there is one that I don't know of, would love to see it.
Nah, Android 12 makes opting out of data collection for ads pretty straightforward. I'll take server scans instead of device scans any day of the week.
What a disappointing event: a bunch of iterative updates. I also find it absolutely incredible that Apple decided to mention privacy during the event.

I think we're progressing into Apple's Ballmer era, if we weren't there already.
> OTOH these innovations in creating artificial scarcity is what enabled the games to be funded in the first place.

Maybe I haven't had enough coffee, but I don't think I understand.

This would be the first evidence of a single "series" of Apple Silicon with variant GPU cores.

With a new M-series expected in an updated set of MBPs, presumably they are based on A15 and have even more cores?
I've got a XS and I think I'll finally upgrade, the 10-120hz honestly excites me the most, especially for scrolling content.
The notch is such a travesty. The fact that they removed landscape mode on the home screen after the iPhone 6S Plus is an affront to any good design principles.

I think it is deliberate so you have to buy an iPad if you want to use it like a mini computer. Beyond disappointing.
I’m also on the X and am considering the 13 pro. Mostly because I want it to feel faster for longer.

I think it’s a pretty subjective call.
What do people use devices like iPad mini for?
I imagine that in some ways Don Quixote would be far more entertaining to you if it were read to you by an entertaining reader, like a smiling old grandparent reading to you by candlelight while you were tucking into bed, or read on a teenage fall weekend afternoon leaned up against an apple tree.

Headspace is important. 50% of all communication is on the receiver after all, so if you are reading a story that is 100% the greatest book of all time but you can barely attention to it you're only gonna get a fraction out of what the book has to offer.
In my personal uses, It's actually not too bad once put on a case.
This is pretty much a camera ad. Interesting how this one use case eclipses anything else.
Oh I see, didn't know that. Thanks for explaining! That being said, the government could also give the doses back to the manufacturers for a small fee who could then sell it abroad themselves, because right now it seems to me that their production capacities are maxed out and they produce less than they could sell.
