"Apple’s Commitment to the Environment"

> Today, Apple is carbon neutral for global corporate operations, and by 2030, plans to have net-zero climate impact across the entire business, which includes manufacturing supply chains and all product life cycles. This also means that every chip Apple creates, from design to manufacturing, will be 100 percent carbon neutral.

But what they won't do is put the chip in an expandable and repairable system so that you don't have to discard and replace it every few years. This renders the carbon-neutrality of the chips meaningless. It's not the chip, it's the packaging that is massively unfriendly to the environment, stupid.
Is there? Photoshop has a bunch of menus, not sure what they're planning to do. See this screenshot for example:

I have't looked that deep into results of this particular study (hopefully peer reviews will do that: it would be unmanageable to look at everything) — but that was not the GP's complaint, but rather that conditions of each region have not been taken into account, and I am saying that this is fine if numbers are sufficiently large and statistically relevant.

You may be right that they are not, and hopefully that results in the paper being retracted.
I just tried "UnsafeVarint" in DDG and while #1 and #2 were useless COVID hits as you said, DDG #4 was the same as Google's #1 hit which was this GitHub issue:

https://github.com/tensorflow/models/issues/7420

Google's #2 hit for me was blogspam at "bankoftrans [dot] com" that copied the source code for UnsafeVarint in order to game Google search results. (A growing problem others in this discussion have been complaining about.)

So Google isn't stellar for your search, either, though perhaps it was working better for you because you were logged in with your Google Account.

Like I said, I do still use Google via "!g" and "!gi" when DDG's results are garbage, but often in these cases Google's results are also junk.
Apple, according to the rumors, considered even bringing back USB-A but decided against it.
> with all the picks and keyof and typeof...

Depends of course a lot on the codebase but all typescript codebases that I've seen so far and considered "well-maintained" didn't really use keyof and typeof all that much. The only way I can imagine how one ends up with lots of those keywords is when you start with a dynamic language approach, and then tell the compiler afterwards what that type might be, instead of defining the type beforehand - might that be the issue?
No; it's still there.
Would USB-A fit in a macbook? No way for the air right?
Personal experience but no. 1440p doesn't even come close
Tbh I'm conflating multiple things, I've heard a lot of good things about Haskell.

But in C# for example, if the system was not designed with dependency injection and everything being an interface it's very hard to build a test harness since you can't mock anything. Which means everything has to be tested manually. (I haven't done any C# in a long time, maybe it's not the case anymore)

So you have to create an interface and classes for every implementations for every type in the system just so I can change its type dynamically. By the time you're done with all the cruft, you forgot what you were about to code.

I'm infinitely more productive in Ruby compared to C#. But I can understand dynamic languages not being welcoming to juniors, since they can code themselves into pitfalls that will bite them later.
> "Baseload" is ... minimum demand you need to meet without the lights going out.

No.

You need to meet all of the demand or you get blackouts / curtailment / power goes out. The least and smallest of the demand over a week is baseload. If you can only provide that, then you will have blackouts all of the time. And pitchforks in your face.

> [Germany] relied on baseload nuclear generators from France being the backup.

Baseload generators are pretty much fixed output (otherwise they wouldn't be called baseload generators). In what clever way do you expect to use a fixed output generator as a backup for your variable output generator?

> "just" two more cores than the vanilla M1

Total cores, but going from 4 "high performance" and 4 "efficiency" to 8 "high performance" and 2 "efficiency. So should be more dramatic increase in performance than "20% more cores" would provide.
"I put the same search into DDG and it gives me two mainsteam media articles about COVID as #1 and #2. Useless. People who defend Bing are just out of their minds."

Exactly what search query did you use? I just popped "UnsafeVarint" (without quotes) into DDG and it's not remotely "media articles about COVID".

I don't know whether it'll be what you want. It's clearly a long-tail result in DDG as well, but it's at least mostly programming stuff for me, and no COVID at all.
You have to make a case for it that isn't circular first.

The idea that there should not be any democratic input on the economy seems quite unsupported so far.
>all of my high computation oriented use cases are offloaded to a desktop.

That's very unusual. If you want a laptop for the easy stuff you're usually looking at a MacBook Air or iPad in the Apple ecosystem. These laptops are focused on people who want to be able to do "everything" on a portable computer.
How are they supposed to frame it? “Sorry we messed up the keyboard. We’re putting a regular one back in.” Doesn’t seem like great phrasing for launching a new product.
It's not my intent to construct a strawman at all. As an American, and as someone who while growing up was regularly a target for abuse by members of my peer group, I'm trying to get across the fact that creating an an organizational obligation to "control" this aberrant behavior doesn't work. Ever. The most effective deterrent, is exercising that responsibility as an individual standing up for common decency. Not one place is an effective deterrer of things, generally because while you might get a bump initially, it wanes over time. In fact, the times when bullying is most likrly is exactly where bullies know organizational blind spots exist. If you formalize a policy on it, they basically know exactly what to look out for.

I one hundred percent agree the dark patterns are an issue. The thing is I disagree with the conclusion of dark pattern use causes bullying that otherwise wouldn't happen to happen.

Awful people gonna awful. Nada's gonna change that. There's therefore a balance point between creating organizational levers to pull to compel action vs. realizable level of attainment of suppression of deleterious behavior.

I'm just saying; doing something about dark pattern use should be just that; don't conflate it with the eternal struggle against getting bullies to stop bullying.
No it's not. In previous iterations, your tabs went below the camera. This doesn't change that.
Consider these 4 possible combinations for programming languages:

(1) Low-level, static types

(2) Low-level, dynamic types

(3) High-level, static types

(4) High-level, dynamic types

For whatever reason, historically #1 and #4 have been most popular. C, C++, Pascal, Ada, and Java are #1. Python, JavaScript, Perl, and BASIC are #4.

There haven't been a lot of #2 or #3 languages. Some #3 languages (TypeScript and Python with types) have come along, but relatively recently.

A person who experiences only #1 and #4 might notice that they can whip up programs faster in a #4 language than in a #1 language, then falsely attribute that difference to the static types. Whereas the real reason is working at a different level of abstraction.
Unfortunately, from a business perspective, there will always be a trade off of "buying a license to X means we can't afford to license Y or Z". They spent millions to get this special, and probably could have gotten a dozen works from less-famous comedians for that same money.
As a music producer myself who makes music for film, I haven't had too many problems with use of my music in the work I do despite being distributed on all the usual major platforms. This is usually because content ID on YouTube gives credits and royalties to the original music creators, and most of my (remixed) uploads are not monetized once I publish them on YT. My distributer handles royalties for my all original music and pays me based on streams. I also make more money off spotify than YouTube even though I've been on YouTube for a lot longer than on Spotify... Overall though, the best comes from licensing my music in films outside of Internet platforms.

I gave up caring long ago about gaining money from views, my most profitable upload was in 2015 when I filmed my parrot falling off my kitchen counter... That video likely succeeded because it wasn't something that would provide me residual success that overshadowed YouTube's normal (controlled) revenue pipelines.

I do however mysteriously get my own music blocked frequently on uploads to TikTok, and there is only complete and demoralizing frustration in trying to report the issue, because they don't care about small creators like me because we don't make them enough money probably.... TikTok and many social platforms keep support only as an afterthought, and finding the right place to get problems solved on most platforms is damn near impossible.

The social media creator economy is dismal and highly competitive for musicians and film makers right now. One of the biggest copyright issues is people who completely hijack and fake "original content" as their own in order to get views in order to profit or sell popular accounts to influencers later.

I'd recommend primarily pursuing contracts with Amazon Prime or Netflix for independent films, rather than trying to battle YouTube because there is simply too much content ID activity on YouTube that is out of control, whereas on the alternate streaming services, they're geared more towards movies than to managing creator communities.

If you are a film maker who needs music for a film project, contact music makers directly (producers that don't use samples in the work you need) in order to generate new, original, and exclusive music that they won't license or release anywhere else perhaps, make them sign a contract too... That might help in the future...?
Yeah the problem about the bangs is that whenever I force myself to use DDG again I will end up using the !sp bang exclusively after around a week and decide to switch back to Google a while after that, because typing !sp after every search defeats the initial idea why I inteded to use DDG in the first place. Until I hate myself for using Google again and switch back. It's an endless cycle I cannot escape :/

Cloudflare’s priority is growth. They intentionally take on customer risk and technical risk to try to maximize growth.

As a result they incline toward hosting whoever wants to use them, and moving fast and breaking things. Neither of these align with typical federal govt approach to IT infrastructure, which emphasizes reliability and avoiding known risk.

It’s just a big personality mismatch, and there’s no reason for either to resolve it. Cloudflare doesn’t need the feds, and the feds don’t need Cloudflare, at least not commercially.

I've got a reasonably cheap screen with USBC input. The screen is the hub.

It's great, as I only need to plug in one cable and my laptop is powered, connected to both my external monitors (displayport mst) and USB peripherals.

It's also a reason I asked not to have a Mac when I changed jobs. The Intel Macs and the older m1s don't support MST.

I wonder if the new m1s finally support it?
Those are some good points.

I think there is also a delayed gratification that is coming from listening, while the gratification that comes with talking or expressing oneself is immediate. There is also in the "manager should listen" from the parent comment a bit of asymmetry if not hypocrisy, where the manager is the agent prone to maliciousness and the report is the one who should be listened to. And also, and I have been guilty of it like anybody else, I believe that sometimes we don't feel our manager is listening to us because they are not agreeing with us. They listen, they just happen to have a different opinion, but we prefer to say they don't listen.

I would say that I am not terribly interested in being listened to beyond the obvious, I particularly appreciate managers who are appreciative, decisive, and smart.

Being good at managing largely overlaps with being good at being friends minus the chances of being fired. The manager-report is not the same relationship as friend-friend of course, but I have yet to find a good direct manager who I would not consider good at being friends (reliable, honest, entertaining, decisive etc.), granted, not with me, and viceversa.

Its interesting to me that at one time the idea of separating politics and work used to be standard decorum.

400GB/s available to the CPU cores in a unified memory, that is going to really help certain workloads that are very memory dominant on modern architectures. Both Intel and AMD are solving this with ever increasing L3 cache sizes but just using attached memory in a SOC has vastly higher memory bandwidth potential and probably better latency too especially on work that doesn't fit in ~32MB of L3 cache.
The central bank doesn't really do "inequality" in the sense that getting rid of the central bank will get rid of the inequality. It can only amplify or maintain a trend.

"They're only slightly ahead..." and "The government really needs to look into splitting Apple up to benefit shareholders and the general public." doesn't really seem to jive for me.

If they're only slightly ahead, what's the point of splitting them up when everyone else, in your analysis, is nearly on par or will soon be on par with them?
And the thing is, I don’t mind they put a weird, shallow keyboard and one USB C port on that 12” MacBook. They were trying to make the lightest laptop they could. Those compromises made sense.

The same compromises made no sense on high-end pro machines.
Not only that, but you're stuck with cards from 5 years ago with current macbooks. It's a shame too because the plug and play support is better than the very best e-gpu plug and play on linux or windows.

I don't see Apple personally adding support any time soon, either. Clearly their play now is to make all hardware in house. The last thing they want is people connecting 3090s so they can have an M1 Max gaming rig. They only serve creators, and this has always been true. Damn waste if you ask me.

It's hard to check whether old opcache bug reports have been resolved, because these issues tend to be non-reproducible. It's quite likely that they are, as opcache is tested much more extensively now than it was a few years ago. Back then, the file cache had essentially no automated tests, while nowadays we check our test suite with all four file cache combinations (written with/without SHM, read with/without SHM).

Restarts are an area that still doesn't have much in terms of automated tests, but at least it's covered by fuzz testing.
The Day My Script Killed 10k Phones in South America
Google's image search correlating black people as gorilla's would have been racist if there was anything causing the association other than bad modeling. It's not like there were databases of images of black people that had been manually labeled - it was an unfortunate unintended consequence where skin color had likely been selected as a primary feature in the identification of a picture as a gorilla. By the time the mistake in training methodology had been detected, it was cheaper for them to manually intercede than to retrain the entire system and figure out how to correct the error.

Racism is something distinctly different. Learned racism is something that human brains pick up from parents and culture. ML Models are not people, they are sets of stochastic associations based on the output of people, some of whom can be racist.

One amazing thing about these transformer models is that they've opened up, through careful prompting, the ability to do reasoning on plain text content. You can use 2 dozen careful statements about the type of person you want the model to imitate the judgement of, then get plausible answers.

Prompt:
Bob is an immigrant to Canada.
Bob has spent the last 10 years in Alberta.
Bob's complexion is tan and his eyes are dark brown.
Bob participates in his community and volunteers at the local animal shelter.
Bob has been married to his husband, Francis for 4 years.

Does Bob think ||white/black/haitian/Klingon|| people are violent?

Answer: no

==============

There are ways of eliciting content that deliberately avoids getting tripped up on bias, but also allows for realism.

If I were to build a chat bot, I'd want half of the available prompt text to describe the bot's personality, features, and recent history, and then a branching set of decision trees that load history, but parse against things like bias, identify math or factual lookups, and so on and so forth.

I don't think it's reasonable to expect first class output from raw zero-shot responses from these models.
I hate the notch. I wish I could get the 14inch body with the M1 (not pro/max) chip in it for <$1200. All I want are ports in last year's MBP but don't feel the need to spend $2k on a laptop I infrequently use.
