The sort of behavior we've come to expect from Apple.

Incompetent and scummy is what Apple is these days, in a nutshell.
Being a native Dutch person and using English a lot, I see some weird differences in these languages. In Dutch we have a weird (but nice) construct that we can make something smaller by using a postfix "tje". So in Dutch we can express "a small house" as "een klein huis" or "huisje" but it is also allowed to combine it as "een klein huisje". All are correct but have different nuances. You can not translate this into English. English does have several words for houses; like cottage that also convey other emotions linked to the word house but we have a broader spectrum of expressing emotion, in my humble opinion.
This is weird and refreshing idea in the same time
Extend that deluxe interior to accommodate many of life's other joys and activities -- say a home gym, a theatre system, pool, study -- and folks can enjoy these things at home and thus not need neighborhood gyms, cinemas, recreation centers, libraries.

It's my opinion that the increased availability of such robust interior living has lessened the demand for many local services or public goods, leading to inevitable underinvestment (don't fund libraries! no one* uses them anyway) or otherwise lacking places (why add grills in the park if everyone* has their own patio with a grill anyway), creating further incentive to retreat into the perfect home with everything one can need, rinse and repeat.
I recollect a typing class (which did exist) where we were admonished never to just grip the paper and yank, but to pull the release lever and ease the sheet out. But people never did that in the movies, so it was a hard sell.

Which is to say there were movies where writers worked typewriters, generally just yanking a sheet, balling it up, and throwing it toward a wastebasket, and missing. Actual writing was too boring, even then, to film.
Well "biased" means that you are not doing an independent impartial assessment of the facts. So admittedly, you're saying your opinion is based off something other than pure facts?

I believe I do know how facebook operates to a good approximation, how ranking system operate, and how users data is used for ads targeting and content ranking. Based off my knowledge I think what you write here is a gross misrepresentation of the situation, I do try to be unbiased.
The manufacturers no doubt. Musk, and by extension Tesla, has been seriously focused on ease of manufacturing. Probably since the huge problems Tesla faced in the late 2010s.

The market will be divided. You will have he Direct to consumer (DTC) native EV carmakers taking a software eating the world approach vs the legacy car makers ( franchise dealer model is 100 years old ) this is a classic case of "software IS eating the world". There WILL be blood in the water and not all legacy carmakers will survive the Tsunami. This is exactly what happ with the Apple iphone. Do you see anyone walking around with a nokia, ericsson / motorola / blackeberry? the game in the auto market is changing and it changing fast.

The duality of Apple is rather remarkable. They are among the most brilliant organizations of the modern world, and simultaneously one of the most incompetent (speaking both of this event and other times working with Apple teams).
To be clear, they cannot build robotaxis 5 years ahead since there already are Waymo ones in limited capacity. As for not limited capacity, that is not happening for a long time.

Also it is not as clear as you think, who washes the cars used for robotaxis etc?

Totally agree with you that it’s practical to think of apples and horses as more or less alike. We evolved this mental tendency because it works.

But it is a style of thinking that is adopted because it is useful to human lives on human timescales, not because it is true.

The truth is there are no apples, no people, no objects even. There is just an immense swarm of subatomic particles interacting woth one another across the universe.

If you could observe the particles in that “apple” over a billion years instead of a more human timescale, it won’t make any sense to think of it as an object anymore. The particles started out in stars far and wide, are briefly frozen together in a fruit on earth, and will soon be spread apart widely again.

Some of the particles in the universal soup have combined into a chemical reaction that thinks it is you, and has evolved useful ways of perceiving patterns in other particles (for instance, object permanence). Because this phenomenon (you) is able to perpetuate itself by thinking in this way (perhaps by, among other things, finding and eating apples?), these
thought patterns are sticky. Or in your words, practical. But not the whole picture.

Resonance would be a key factor as well, various sized rocks all at irregular angles would help greatly to prevent any overall resonance shaking and amplifying across the structure.

Now in contrast to standard sized bricks and regimental formations - like a row of pitchforks just awaiting the right note in many ways.

Then buildings of old had less engineering and material science to lean onto. That combined with a shift of building things to last forever towards a lifetime and even that lifetime gets shorter. We see things built with just enough materials to do the job and know more with a life of 100 years at best in so many cases (often half that with some housing).

Sadly it gets down to the numbers and odds as well - if there is say 1 in 100 years chance of a quake that would be over 6 on the scale and 1 in 500 of a 7 and the cost to build is 1m for upto level 5 survivability and 5 million for level 6 and 50m for level 7. You see how the insurance can push it towards going for the cheaper option on the bases that if you went for a level 5 - you could rebuild it 5 times in that 100 years. So money does play a huge part as always.

I do wonder, what would it cost today to build Machu Picchu as it is - a huge amount and can bet the modern approach would involve concrete and reinforced steel. Just can't beat natural stone still in many ways.
It's a matter of language and logic. "another" is a contraction of "one other", and "other" means "distinct".

So, given you have "one (element) and one different (element)", at that point, you have, ipso facto, 2 elements.

This is also where Windows CRLF for a new line comes from.

CR is Carriage Return, which on a typewriter you could do by moving the carriage back to the start of the line. Often there was a lever for this.

LF is Line Feed, accomplished by turning the platen. The horizontal position on the page stayed the same, just one line down vertically.

Having these separate made it possible to easily fill in tabular data and printed forms of various sorts. It also made it possible to type some (rather messy) accented characters by using CR and hitting space until you reached the character to accent, then typing an appropriate punctuation mark. A number of modern Compose Key sequences follow the same patterns, eg o" for ö.

Later typewriters added ways to do this automatically; eg the IBM Selectric had a "RETURN" key. This both returned the carriage to the start of the line and fed down one line. It was still possible to perform either action separately to fill in tables and other forms.
> There’s no substitute for the point to point on demand fast transportation that cars offer.

If you design cities to not have alternatives to cars then of course there's no substitute. All my day-to-day trips are currently faster using a bike+train, significantly less stressful, cheaper and also much healthier. People don't generally prefer specific modes of transportation, they just want to travel quickly and conveniently. That can be achieved with any mode of transportation, yet cars are the most expensive, most polluting, loudest, lowest density and most stressful.

I just took a look at a picture of Seattle from 2011 and it looks like half the area is dedicated to car parking with huge stroads everywhere. Having to take a car to go to the shops 300m away sounds like a total nightmare. And it's not even the suburbs! If those roads had little traffic on them then that was clearly just due to the population not having caught up. Once it did of course those roads weren't going to be enough. At that point you can either bulldoze more of the city for the car and still get awful traffic or provide better alternatives...

For reference this is the photo I found: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8b/Downtown...
Crabs in a bucket effect, Harrison Bergeron, Ressentiment -- different names, same thing. Its always been there, but when we give into it and allow the sentiment to guide legislation, we go nowhere good.
Totally agree with the sentiment. It has gotten a lot better in the last 10 years. Very frustrating to have your name blacklisted by that. It does seem most system have a very US focused design.

I still find it funny that even in my home country you can't use a lot of local special characters in names. Also most airlines won't accept it so technically I'm not giving them my true name!

> Communism did not resolve the Great Depression

Not be belabor an outrageously belabored point, but no one is talking about anything that anyone ever called "communism".

We're talking about things like progressive income taxation, medicare, social security, welfare, the WPA, etc... The people who implemented those policies weren't communists. Communists themselves were spending the whole time working toward revolution in a proletarian struggle against the governments who did that stuff.

I know it's en vogue in some modern circles to rebrand New Deal economics as "communism". But... sorry, it's really fucking stupid. Don't do that. This site strives for a higher level of discourse.
> perceivable speedup in M1 Macs

Perception is key here.

Of course M1's are perceived as being faster because:

- video camera encoding/decoding is offloaded to a dedicated processor;

- disk encryption is offloaded to a dedicated processor;

- rendering is offloaded to dedicated GPU's;

- matrix multiplication is offloaded to dedicated matrix multiplication processors (neural engines);

- no wasteful memory transfers (even though the memory bus is 2048 bit wide anyway) across dedicated processors.

Kind of like channel processors running channel programs in IBM mainframes, brought to a mainstream ultraportable laptop.

And, on top of that, the screen that drops the refresh rate by a factor of 6 when there is no need to refresh the picture too often.

Ironically, the CPU is left with pretty much one job to do: to compute. It is possible to get fast compilation times whilst doing all of the above at once. Or have an app that does all of the above at once, too (no, it won't save Microsoft Teams). And be power efficient, too; hence a long battery life and an Apple marketing team brouhaha: «We can do this all day». They are right – they can actually do all of that, and they can brag about it now because they have a full list from the above fulfilled.

System performance is a holistic matter, not just single/multicore comparisons oftetimes taken out of the context.

Maya is notable because a region that once supported a large population quickly underwent large scale depopulation for reasons that are not clear to us today. This wasn't a matter of one nation collapsing only to absorbed by another. We're talking about a population in the millions to 10s of millions that just faded away. All of this occurred pre-Columbian.

>That's like saying the Roman and Carthaginian empires both fell around the same time, and thus were part of the same event.

Not trying to say they were caused by the same event but it does seem to be a trend that Native America had issues sustaining permanent population centers like you saw in other parts of the world.

How would admitting someone to a gifted program affect their nutrition, or domestic situation? Many of the testimonials from commenters read as children who were under-stimulated, not malnourished. In this case there would be no reason to expect they wouldn't be able to meet the criteria (pass the test) of these programs.

Indeed placing smart kids into gifted programs does help them, that's why these programs should not be abolished. However IQ doesn't fluctuate that much over one's lifespan, so at worst we're missing some children on the edges, which is inevitable in any human system.

The fact that there exist other reason to use a 3P insurance company doesn't really matter.

At the end of the day, if the existence of a Tesla insurance removes a portion (not all) of low risk drivers from the insurance market, the remaining drivers would be higher risk. The insurance company doesn't care about the mechanism that causes it, at the end of the day the collision rate will stabilize into a new higher rate, together with the associated insurance rate.

Yanking was just to get the whole sheet out so you could ball it up and hurl it. The Carriage Return lever was there from earliest times.

It was decades later that they got a RETURN key (what they call Enter nowadays) that would do the LF/CR for you. Eventually there was a tape with white ink so when you backspaced, you could white out what you had mis-typed by mistyping it again! Before that, you would overtype a "/" and bull ahead. Or stop and (literally!) paint it over with a little brush.

The inventor of the little brush and the fast-drying paint became one of the first female business tycoons. (There were tycoons then, too. And impresarios. Dunno what happened to those.)

also bear in mind that AMD's standards for these "challenges" have always involved some "funny math", like their previous 25x20 goal, where they considered a 5.02x average gain in performance (10x in CB R15 and 2.5x in 3D Mark 11) at iso-power (same TDP) to be a "32x efficiency gain" because they divided it by idle power or some shit like that.

But 5x average performance gain at the same TDP doesn't mean you do 32x as much computation for the same amount of power. Except in AMD marketing world. But it sounds good!

https://www.anandtech.com/show/15881/amd-succeeds-in-its-25x...

Like, even bearing in mind that that's coming from a Bulldozer derivative on GF 32nm (which is probably more like Intel 40nm) 5x gain in actual computation efficiency is still a lot, and it's actually even more in CPU-based workloads, but AMD marketing can't help but stretch the truth with these "challenges".
The city around him is only built for driving, doubly so his completely car-dependent neighbourhood. He'll be doing this until he either cannot possibly pull it off, or gets in a serious accident. This is a fact of life for millions of seniors in North America, and saying "oh no they shouldn't" won't change squat.
> But I don't think it's obvious at all that competitors can catch up

They are catching up as evidenced by Tesla losing market share. It's not a very surprising result. As other manufacturers ramp up EV production they will gain EV market share because not everyone wants the same car.

Tesla is no longer a leader in EV technology. Lucid's and Hyundai's EV platforms, for example, offer options that Tesla doesn't.

Have a look at Europe. In 2019 Tesla had 30.8% market share: https://eu-evs.com/bestSellers/ALL/Groups/Year/2019

> Not just with campuses, but cities too. We generally need to import good aesthetics from the past, which should be a sign that the current system is broken. Good things should be possible to create in the present.

I suspect that there is considerable survivor bias going into that. There were plenty of bad aesthetic choices in the past, too; we just recognise and remember the good ones.

Similarly, there surely are good aesthetic choices being made today—it's just that, as in any age, there are many more bad ones, and those are the ones that are easier to call to mind. A lot of good modern aesthetic choices borrow from the past, but that, too, is true of any age; the choices of the past we admire were not born ab novo, but were themselves inspired by still older design.

This is not to make the ridiculous claim that nothing is changing, only that "we look to the past for cues to good design" is not in and of itself an indictment of some fallen modern age.
I actually take a hint of offense that you say "Ł still is the same letter, a direct counterpart to L". By what measure? It was always a separate phoneme. Just because it shifted to w doesn't mean it wasn't distinct to poles to begin with - just now clearly distinct to everyone as the sound has only become more distinct! Pointing to ways we poles live with the situation doesn't mean it's ideal
As long as the notch is handled by the OS and software I doubt it will be a real issue. I've got a circle in the corner on my moto phone screen for the camera and I literally don't care. That circle buys me extra pixels the height of that camera for the full width of the screen. Doesn't impact movies or anything. Nice.

Personally, this is the least of Apple's "problems" if you want to call them that. Having seen how easily serviceable Framework's laptops are, I think Apple need to rethink their designs.

While I fully get the whole at-scale limitation that Apple operates in, I no longer see non-removeable batteries or other parts, eg ssd, as a necessary aspect of laptop manufacture. Its now going to be an indicator of just poor design. If Framework can make something that is serviceable then Apple should be able to innovate much better.

I don't even think this is actually an engineering decision or problem. Its a business/design one.
