I don't understand how it makes sense to bind the OS or GUI to desktop UI behaviour, but I've been a happy X11 user since 1994 so what do I know?

I believe that they constrain it because they have no respect for their users.
Perhaps to prevent (or at least make it harder for) someone shorting around the security it is supposed to provide, i.e. by emulating or modifying the replacement part - not that that'd really stop the determined ones
I would actually chip in fairly seriously for this!
Haven't you seen the various mental gymnastics people use to value electric car mfgs? Sprinkle some technology on an otherwise low-margin industry and suddenly people think you have the next Google or Facebook. Nevermind that the big tech companies became so profitable because they make money off easily scaled SW. No, this time it's different!

>However it is obvious why this is all happening. And that is Intel and Qualcomm inhibited growth and squeezed too much profit from the market.

Or, it's just the regular old way capitalism works. Any sufficiently large company will start to vertically integrate to maximize their profits. If not Apple / Google, it could have been Intel / Qualcomm who started vertically integrating by offering their own laptops, phones, OSes and App Stores.

The big fish eats the small ones. That's capitalism 101.
Yes I have read the same.

My AMD build machine is sold by MSI for gaming. I don't remember having seen such option, there are options for overclocking... Cannot double check now, the machine is in the office and I won't be there before it crashes (knocking on wood) or there is some high priority kernel update.
This post doesn’t seem at all appropriate to me. Those scams are the most bottom of the barrel, low effort, have existed forever, and have nothing to do with Coinbase at all. I worry that pinging founders direct with this nonsense will keep them out of one of the few forums where I ever get to see them contribute.
So does this automatically fetch every feed URL at intervals in the background as long as you have the browser open?

Pretty simple solution for getting updates if so. No need to overcomplicate it with a dedicated server.
In many instances, long distance lines have more than one platform track per line track. So dwell could happen in parallel. It's still an issue, but could be mitigated.

My guess is that outside of the peak, these kind of trains are not necessary. And the peak can apparently be accommodated without them. So there may be some times where they would be economically advantageous, but not always - meaning it could make sense to have some double deckers.

But for train services, it makes sense to have uniform fleets, both to reduce maintenance costs and increase dispatching flexibility. Trains should also have the same performance profiles and dwell times (as mentioned before). So any small peak time advantage is undone by the bad economics of having a non uniform fleet.
hmm...weird. They could have provided a rate-limited API endpoint as a service...
Why do you think it is? I feel like investors are pretty smart and surely understand that these companies are not worth all this.

I see what you mean about money floating around. But does it ever reach a point where there is a common sense counter-weight that maybe the latest pets.com is not worth the GDP of a small country.
I don't understand, why are you so eager to nitpick the exact manner in which some anonymous Treehouse employee gets to critique his fucking asshole of a CEO?

I'm not sure your understanding of MMT is quite right but aside from that the basic process of creating hyper inflation in Zim, Venez etc is roughly:

Government destroys production by confiscating farms etc from the rich/ the white and giving them to poor locals.

The farm which used to produce hundreds of tons of food for everyone now has has few subsistence farmers feeding themselves.

The people who used to get the food say we're hungry.

a: The govt prints money and gives it to them to buy food.

But more money chasing not enough food causes food prices to go up. People say they are hungry.

GOTO a:

The whole process is fairly dumb which is why you only get it in a few places with dictators like Mugabe or Maduro who threaten to shoot anyone who tries to stop them.
Reduced from 14% to 7% risk. Would be nice to see how it compares to other off-label treatments such as Ivermectin which has had great success in India.
It's a safety issue to replace some, but not all of the cells in a Li-ion battery with cells that are not the same age and condition. Since smartphone batteries are almost always a single cell, it's a non-issue.

Another scenario I can imagine is a charge controller reducing the maximum charging current as the battery ages based on information stored in the controller's memory, which would be incorrect if the cell is replaced. Of course, it would be unusual to replace a cell with one in worse condition, so it would also be surprising for that to be a safety concern.

Gauss far exceeded von neuman in mathematical impact and pushing math forward. So did many other mathematicians that were contemporaries of von neuman. The same for physics. Von Neuman would not even be in the list of top 10 mathematicians in the 20th Century, let alone of all time. The twentieth century had giants like Kolmogorov, Hilbert, Grothendieck, none of whom were smarter than von neumann, but they made far greater discoveries.

But this just shows that when you are talking about impact as opposed to intelligence, a lot of things other than IQ come into play. I am certain von neumann was much smarter than Gauss, but Gauss had an instinct for discovery that was remarkable. Newton is another example -- someone not nearly as brilliant as Von Neuman (my impression) but had an incredibly deep insight and much bigger impact. They say that Feynman's IQ was ~120, which would certainly be lower than von neuman, but he made a much bigger impact as well.
TSO support at the hardware level is a cool feature but it's a bit oversold here. Most emulated x86 code doesn't require it and usually not at every memory instruction when it does. For instance the default settings in Window's translation implementation do not do anything to guarantee TSO.

Rosetta is also a long way from 1:1 performance, even you're own link says ~70% the speed. That's closer to half speed than it is to full speed.

The M1's main trick to being so good at running x86 code is it's just so god damn fast for the power budget it doesn't matter if there is overhead for emulated code it's still going to be fast. This is why running Windows for ARM in parallels is fast too, it knows basically none of the "tricks" available but the emulation speed isn't much slower than the Rosetta 2 emulation ratio even though it's all happening in a VM.

In a fun twist of fate 32 bit x86 apps also work under Windows on the M1 even though the M1 doesn't support 32 bit code.
Because it's distributed and the larger the spread, the smaller the obvious scale.

For example, let's say I'm a murderer and kill ever resident of a single street, one household a day. That's way too much of a coincidence to ignore. But if I did the same number across a larger area, maybe you get different police forces that haven't thought to talk to each other and no one spots the connection until much later.

The same applies here. If you personally have faulty software, it's not great, but you probably move on. If your employer buys the same software for all of its employees, then the scale of the problem is much more obvious and the actual cost of the problem is a lot larger to a single entity.
> For instance, the serialization of batteries (they’re not only serialized, they have a symmetric key pair) is a key safety feature.

That’s the messaging from the manufacturers which is a big lie IMO. You can validate keys or signatures and give a warning for non-genuine parts. The only reasons to disable features are to prevent competition and, ultimately, to cheat the customer.
It keeps prospering under them. Imagine Oracle buying it or something like that.
How does data get off my smartphone?

Move along then, the blogpost is meant for regular humans who might actually feel outraged when their seemingly-stable employer (at least through Nov 2022) suddenly decides they don't feel like running the company anymore and burns it to the ground
It sounds like they are talking about third parties making such a change, not an official Apple repair.

You don't trust hardware that a bad guy got their hands on. Picture a black-hat iPhone repair shop, they're installing replacement screens that appear legit but aren't--now they can defeat the face ID and get into your locked phone.

Low probability? What if it's a government doing it? Seem more likely?
This is a layered problem; Apple and Google (for better and worse) are best positioned to deal with the app ecosystem.

But there's the mobile provider piece of this -- the tower knows where you are because currently it has to, and the network providers are part of this location data market, selling location data for everyone, whether they use leaky apps or not. This is worse with 5G due to smaller cells and thus finer-grained location data.

With a colleague I've founded a startup, Invisv, to provide location privacy -- and more. FWIW, Wired wrote up our work on this several weeks back: https://www.wired.com/story/pretty-good-phone-privacy-imsi-w...

Oh I absolutely think the primary reason for this is an amoral technical reason (please note I said amoral not immoral). But I also think given Apple's aggressive history of trying to fuck with 3rd parties. It would be naive to think that wasn't an important factor in this design decision. Even with the most charitable interpretation, someone knew that this would fuck with third parties, and instead of trying to avoid it. They're going with the solution, again with the most charitable interpretation, appears to look like they're obstructing 3rd party repair.

I pretend to be a security expert on TV; and I fully support the decision to disable face id when there might be a hardware mitm attack. But there's options available to Apple that allow you to have security and 3rd party support.

But they're clearly still making decisions that obviously obstruct user choice. And it's dishonest to pretend otherwise.

ps. I don't think you're being dishonest, you're clearly explaining the rational. My issue generally is the apologists who use these arguments without context, and pretend there's no other options.
It sounds like it's pretty far from "perfectly" capable according to your needs.
Can we manufacture designs for larger/older process nodes on newer ones? I understand it's a little bit like the DPI on a printer. I imagine there are many other changes, and expense, but would it work?
Thank you, that is really nice to hear.

I'm not sure about an inline mode because that would kind of defeat the initial purpose of this app. But, I did write it down and will see if there are others who would like this.

I've heard that a typical reading speed for math papers is a page per day. In extreme cases, you might organize a semester-long graduate seminar so the participants can help one another understand a 30-page paper that has a result they think is important.

Math notation isn't designed to be as fast as possible to read—not even as fast as possible to read a given idea, much less a given page. It's designed to be fast enough to write that you can write down several forms of the same formula as you go through a calculation or other proof, or that while arguing with someone about something you can write down a formula on a blackboard without losing their attention. Also, it's designed to be compact enough that subtle errors of logic have no place to hide (though often it achieves its compactness by being ambiguous, which provides them with a different place to hide: in what is not stated).

— ⁂ —

My favorite example of the benefits of math notation is the derivation of the one-pass formula for population standard deviation.

Because the average is defined as the ratio of the sum of the data items to the number of data items, the canonical definition of the population standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the squares of the differences between the individual data items and the ratio of the sum of the data items to the number of data items. Now, aside from the fact that this definition is pretty confusing, computing it that way requires two passes over the data: once to compute the sum of the data items, and a second time to compute the differences. That means you need memory enough for all the data, which can be a problem, and it also means that incrementally updating the result for a new data item requires you to recalculate the deviations of all the previous data items.

The one-pass, online method is to calculate the square root of the reciprocal ratio between the number of data items and the difference between the sum of the squares of the data items and the ratio between the square of the sums of the data items and the number of data items. That's not just hard to derive, it's hard to even understand.

That is to say, √((Σᵢ(xᵢ²) - (Σᵢxᵢ)²/n)/n). If you're unfamiliar with math this will seem like Greek to you (partly because it is in fact part Greek), but it's actually not that much harder to understand than the plain English definition in the previous paragraph; in standard two-dimensional math notation it's a little easier. With a pencil or a piece of chalk it's also immensely easier to write than the English definition.

But the real advantage is that, in about four or five lines of fairly transparent formulas, you can derive it from the other definition, in such a way that mistakes are, if not trivial, at least reasonably feasible to spot. Doing this without a computer algebra system requires writing out the whole formula in different forms four or five times, which puts brevity at a real premium.

And that, pace Iverson, is the power of notation as a tool of thought.

Chinese policy seems cool and calculated. They are going to continue these soft provocations until incursions are expected, and happen, weekly or even daily. What can the US do? Eventually Taiwanese opinion may even be majority pro-unification.

US intervention would require a flashpoint. China seems intent on a slow boil. The way to undermine China is to offer full US citizenship to Taiwanese and assist in their relocation...after all, Taiwan is a story of human capital, not natural resources. Let China take the land but lose the people.

That's because these tuning systems have been out of favor since about 1700. You might encounter some organists who know about it, but even then, there are only a handful of organs tuned this way in North America.

It was Werckmeister who popularized and advocated systems which don't have wolf intervals (so-called "well temperament", as in "Bach's well-tempered clavier". The composers who cared about wolf intervals generally predate Bach, to give you an idea.

Nowadays (since the 1980s) I can press a button and put my synthesizer or electronic piano in whatever tuning I want, so I can play with quarter-comma meantone temperament without finding one of the organs on the list, and experience it myself.
CalTrain revenue service consists of exclusively double decker trains. It may be the fact that it reduces maximum frequency. But maximum throughput? I’m skeptical.

> The first version of these CPUs will be very Arm compatible, as they are trying to drive adoption to of their silicon.

All these CPUs will be Arm compatible, otherwise they will be breaking their license.

> Once there get a leg up they will start adding patented operation to their stuff. And then we'll end up with a fragmented CPU field driven by corporate greed.

Maybe they will add accelerators as Apple has done but Arm compatible code will still run on all these CPUs.

> And because they are not OEMing this hardware, they really have no incentive to be cooperative with the others.

Yes they do because they need Arm code to run on them.

There are thousands and thousands of Arm designs in use and they _all_ run Arm code as specified by Arm Ltd.

(And yes I know that there is fragmentation in other things that go on the SoC but that is a different point).
> Apple and AMD using TSMCs fabs have proven this to be extremely true taking the top CPU spots from Intel the past ~3 years.

Absolutely not. The proved you can beat intel at lower transistor counts, at more or less similar frequencies.
That just tells you how little faith everyone has in the existing players launching a competitive, modern EV. The Model S has been on the market for almost 10 years now and there is still zero competition from the large OEMs.

I actually do think that in most cases it should be for-profit -- I just think that the profit can't be derived from your audience. For instance, a cafe that does online and in person orders and ALSO has an online social media hub, where people gather and interact and are also able to purchase goods from the cafe, I think would work because it's a social hub where the users are truly customers.

I think some institutions might work -- a forward-thinking library whose website isn't just an announcements and catalog site, but an actual social media hub -- but I think that'd be rare.

I don't think, by and large, private individual sites as social hubs would really work, as there's not enough draw to bring in a sufficiently large userbase to become a social hub.

> "Guilt by association" is a bad way to run companies

It's frighteningly common in big tech. Amazon is known for banning people for life because someone else with the same address returned too many items. Pick your roommates carefully I guess.
Because it cheapens the argument. Complain all you want on the fact you have an absentee CEO where the employees are struggling with the decisions that were made while said CEO is galavanting around. Absolutely, complain away. The CEO does not owe the company money to fund severance packages. To comment about that is just lowering the signal to noise ratio.
I think one of the hallmarks of a good leader is good communication internally. Can't speculate on what he was going through or the validity of said claims, but if he indeed did go radio silent in the midst of layoffs... yeah.
That sounds like a useful mental model. But it can't be quite right, can it? There aren't enough cores to do _all_ pixels in parallel, so how is that handled? Does it render tiles and compute all edges several times for this?

Yes, it is rigged. I've had Android, WP (which I liked the most because of the tiles) and now I'm on iOS. I don't have social media on my phone. I use it for banking and maps mostly, but I also communicate with family through WhatsApp :/ I wish I could just get rid of it, but it's not possible for me to just use e-mail... At least not yet.
