AMD Reports Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results
I remember those early days of 3D accelerators...

When the 3dfx Voodoo came out, I really wanted one so I could run all the games written using the Glide API. I asked for one for Christmas, and my dad got me a Rendition 2200. I was actually pretty upset, because so many games were written using Glide, which was a 3dfx-proprietary API. GLQuake existed and used OpenGL, but OpenGL drivers were either non-existent or didn't work, I don't remember.

I ended up hating 3dfx for how they had ruled the 3D accelerator market for a short period of time. I was glad when the Voodoo 5 was a failure and AMD and NVIDIA ended up taking over.
>and no evidence that including it had anything to with making laptops expensive as a goal.

It is product differentiation. The MacBook Pro 2016 redesign was delayed by a year due to Intel's CPU problems. The touchbar Macbook also had higher ASP from the start. It was the Post PC era. Everyone was suppose to leave the PC ( including Mac ) platform to Tablet. It doesn't get any clearer than that. Even making an iPad ads "What's a Computer". Making an ASP increase is a typical move of a market where you want to milk it. Did I mention they completely neglect Mac Pro for years?

>Jony Ive was its patron

Despite media wants to claim otherwise at the time and had shills cover it up. He spend most of his time on Apple Retail redesign and Apple Park. But iPhone X and Macbook / MacBook Pro was his vision of how the ultimate MacBook Pro and iPhone would be as he said so himself. He was named CDO in 2015, along with some design team restructuring. The “Designed by Apple in California” chronicles 20 years of Apple design photo book came out in 2016. When he finally left in 2019, the media and shills were suggesting he hasn't actually been on product design for quite a few years. His earlier work on Apple in 2011+ was iOS 7 re-design. ( After Scott Forstall was out ) And we all know how that went as they spend the next 3 years to iterate out of it. To the point their old UX design head had to retire. And if you look at the changes to Apple Retail Store redesign, they were the same. Form over function. Partly Jony's fault, partly Angela.

>Nobody ever set out to make a “worse experience” or higher cost.

Apple filled many patents where they were looking at keyboard on a flat piece of glass with Force Touch and 3D Touch. These patents were specific to computer. Higher BOM cost are often used as moat in any luxury items.

>to design the best extremely thin keyboard they could...

If it wasn't for the butterfly keyboard. The internet would not have a group of people and product reviewer now talking about key travel distance. The thin keyboard has a similar typing experience as typing on glass......

>There are many suboptimal features...

No one fault them for trying. But the first report of keyboard problem came out in 2016 from MacBook users. Less than one year after its launch even before the MacBook Pro TouchBar. Apple constantly delete report of the problem on its support forum. The whole thing only gotten attention when an online press themselves decide to blog about it and went viral. That was 2018. They stopped reporting Mac user satisfactory in 2018, both in keynote and in investor meeting. It took nearly 3 years of ranting before Tim Cook even made a Keyboard Service Program.

Basically without Steve Jobs, no one had the gut to say, fuck this. This isn't working. Close it down. Work on a alternative or go back to where it was and we make a Service Programme. Instead they drag on it for years. Without product sensibility and direction.
Is there a FAQ or introduction to what this is about? I'm confused as to what this is.
Appreciate the links. They should include more factuals and vision in their fundraising copy.

All of those are great options for context, but I specifically would like to see logic/math/physics/code with functional context for symbology, usage, and derivation.
> It started off about as common as humans having green eyes.

Elephant poaching has been around since long before the Mozambique civil war. The number of tuskless elephants may have been at 2-4% prior to the war, but that doesn't mean that lower levels of poaching didn't push it up to that level from some much lower naturally-occurring level.

2-4% seems like a _very high_ rate for a trait that could negatively impact a female's chance of survival AND kills 100% of her male offspring.
It's insane how much worse med school is now. When my dad went in the 70s he got in straight out of undergrad, spent one year in an internship and 3 years in Ophthalmology residency before getting his first real paychecks around 30. Everything I hear about med school today makes me think he would have never made it nowadays.

I remember when compact discs came out, in a way it felt like a downgrade from cassette tapes. Tapes were smaller, more durable, cheaper, record-able (CDs fixed this later but it took a while), and didn't skip when you played them while moving or jogging. The sound was perhaps a bit lower quality but it didn't stand out significantly IMHO. CDs were definitely cool. But the gadget factor was pretty heavy in their value proposition. I guess the other part of the value prop with CDs was that they eventually also became useful as a digital storage medium for PCs. But it felt almost like the economics ended up forcing them on audiophiles.
You would be hard pressed to find any current-or-former Xorg developer who actually wants to work on Xorg anymore, regardless of their employer. The intersection between long-time core Xorg maintainers and people-who-started-the-Wayland project is nearly 100%.

The fact that Red Hat doesn't see much future in Xorg reflects this, rather than the other way around.

The other historically important corporate sponsor of Xorg development is Intel, and they seem to have reached the same conclusion.

(I work for Red Hat, but not on anything graphics related)
Elizabeth Warren literally wrote the book on this. It's how she became prominent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Two-Income_Trap
> Almost any program the size of Xorg will likely already depend on Python anyway.

Last time I built X by hand, there was one... one single X element the building of which depended on Python amongst the many, many components of X: XCB. So I had to install Python just for that one module; let me tell you I wasn't happy at all with such choice. Icing on the cake, the Python scripts were not compatible with Python 3, and also mixed spaces and tabs for indentation, so I had to write patches to get the stuff to compile.
FaceID on a workstation enables concepts like Continuous Authorization, proactively lock the workstation if user does not have the correct face.

FaceID can also unlock the device by the time you finish opening the laptop and placing it on your desk for the day.

If you're not concerned with being forced to unlock your device by looking at it, FaceID is really quite nice.
> Capital gains taxes are lower for a specific reason: the capital that was initially invested was already taxed.

That is not a sensible reason for capital gains (which apply only to gains) to be taxed lower, since the gains have not already been taxed.

It also doesn't explain why the reduced rate (compared to “regular” income) applies to long-term gains, since the original capital was taxed regardless of whether the gain is long or short term.

The best fairness-grounded argument I’ve seen for reduced LTCG taxes is that, in a progressive annual income tax system treating gains earned over multiple years but realized at the end as single-year income at full tax rates overtaxes compared to what would have occurred if the income was spread out over the time it took to accumulate before realization, unless the recipient would already have been at the max marginal rate every year before the gains at issue were considered.

This is a valid point, but allowing free voluntary advance tax recognition of income and deferring tax recognition after realization for windfalls (say, spreading amounts above the middle actual realized income of the last three years over up to ten subsequent years) deals with that problem more comprehensively (not just for capital income) without undertaxing those who would be at the maximum marginal rate even without the particular long-term gain, or who are continuously rolling out long-term gains year after year repeatedly.

Favorable LTCG rates are a way to use a poor approximation of fairness for middle-class earners with occasional long-term gains to sneak in wildly favorable treatment forn the super-rich, instead of just treating income fairly all around.

(There's also a trickle-down economics argument for low capital gains rates, that is not fairness-grounded: “we want to encourage the already rich to invest and make more money, because positive side effects of this will trickle-down on the lower socioeconomic classes”.)

Dolby Cinema uses similar tech to IMAX Laser (Dolby is technically superior but arguably not at a level humans would notice in practice), both of which are superior to non-laser IMAX or any other theater type. The main difference is IMAX has a taller aspect ratio, which is probably worth it for movies shot in that format.

you know it is very easy to restrict internet access for printer if you have a wifi router. Go to your router admin page and:

1. Assign static IP to a printer by its MAC address, instead of dynamic IP in DHCP settings.

2. only allow LAN traffic and disable all WAN traffic for that static IP

3. Disable Bluetooth in a printer settings (you can do it by visiting http://192.168.1.{printer's IP addr}
Ease of being able to replace the battery has never been the reason stopping me from upgrading from a 2015 MacBook Pro. Anyone with the the intent of replacing a battery today will be able to make it after buying some readily available tools.

What I need is the ability to swap out my SSD in the laptop, either for data retrieval, backing up, or upgrades. Unfortunately good removeable storage seems to be a thing of the past. I say "good" because I don't want to boot the newest MBP off a slow SD card.

I could depend on Migration Assistant or Time Machine, but I don't trust anything other than a good raw "cat" or "dd" of a drive
It depends how much you "learn from it" and then write your own code vs how much you copy/paste.

Copilot is pretty commonly just copy/pasting. You can get it to spit out exact copied code, including comments.

p.s. "it's not as simple as you imagine" is pretty dickish. Why include that?

If by “CGT generally” you mean “short-term capital gains tax”. But, that's not true of long-term capital gains that kick in at a year and a day of holding the asset.

genetics is random. Each new generation combines genetic material from their ancestors, plus some new random mutations.

natural selection, i.e. the environment they're born in, is what picks winners and losers among those inherited characteristics and mutations.

Almost all individual mutations on a genetic level are benign. It's the combination of (selection of specific trait + compounding change) that is what we know as evolution.

In this case, the "change to the genetic code" produces elephants without tusks. That happened by change. But now, the elephants without tusks are the ones who get to live, because they're not poached. That specific mutation allows them to live/thrive. In the same way better hearing might allow a bird to evade its predators.

"no change to genetic code" ignores the fact that there are elephants wandering around who don't have (and will never have) tusks. (also: evolution is quite slow. this by any right is a huge, "forced" evolution. not in that we forced a change in the genetic code through editing it, but we are changing the course of genetics in a species through our collective behaviour).
Evolution doesn't necessarily imply "new species" (species is actually a pretty vague term) and dictionary definitions are limited.

>I think that in the case of Agile, there is a set of principles and values clearly defining what it is. For a project to be Agile it needs to follow these.

Yep, these islanders build airstrip and related infrastructure following good engineering practices, yet no cargo comes. Instead comes a consultant with his "No cargo because you're doing it wrong", and now they build the airstrip under his guidance following Agile principles. Still no cargo. The consultant continues with his "No cargo means what you're still doing it wrong" ...

The Agile is the epitome of a cargo-cult.
Not sure about the linked article, but the paper was also mentioned in last week The Economist, and it said that the number of tusk-less elephants was already dropping (it peaked 50% and now is 33%) due to conservation efforts.
My first impression is that this data can’t be accurate if just about everyone is marrying a school teacher.
I see, the interoperability issue makes sense, and now I'm starting to remember it. (I never did THAT much with SOAP).

But you really think the specs-writers (being some of the same people as the tool-makers?) intentionally made the specs overly-verbose and burdensome to implement, to protect their tools businesses? That's different from what you said in your original comment, about spec-makers "believing toolmakers were on their side" -- now you're saying the spec-makers were the tool-makers and not actually on the end-developer-user's side!

I'm still inclined to believe a lot of it was people (both spec-makers and tool-makers) doing their best with a challenging problem, rather than intentionally sabotaging it for profit. But you think I'm too optimistic?

>> seems pretty cheap in comparison to other stories you hear about groups

I remember hearing stories about how Nirvana recorded "Bleach" for $600. The story goes Chris Novoselic went to the founder of Sub Pop records and demanded they be under contract. The founder basically took a stock contract that he copied at the local library for .10 and had them sign it - giving them royalties on Bleach and Nevermind.

Turns out when all the grunge bands were going to the big labels, those Nirvana royalties effectively allowed them to stay in business during their lean times.

But you're right. I heard many, many stories of the hair bands getting signed, then going on a drug and spending binge and then never being able to complete their contractual obligations to the label.

The light version of this would be closer to a light field camera [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_field_camera]

The major difference between a microphone array and an imaging sensor is the availability of phase information for the received wave. A microphone oscillates with the sound pressure wave, and that oscillation is translated directly to a voltage. Your software can see the full time series of that wave, so the information about it is 'complete'.

An optical image sensor, essentially, turns photons into electrons. The optical wave is too fast to turn into a voltage time series, so you only see the wave's amplitude at a given sample in time. Therefore, in order to turn it into an image, you need to recover some fraction of the phase information in some way.

A pinhole is one way to do that. One way to think of a pinhole is that it maps every source point to a distinct imaging plane point, so the phase of the wave doesn't matter as much to the final image. It acts as a filter that cuts out ambiguous information that phase would have disambiguated.

A lens performs a similar operation by interacting with the light wave's phase to bend wavefronts in a way that maps points on the object to an imaging plane.

Those approaches don't recover 100% of the phase information, but they recover or filter enough to form the image you care about. Light field cameras attempt to recover more complete phase information through various ways better explored in the wikipedia link.

Could you create a sound blocking plane with a pinhole that makes an acoustic camera that follows similar principles to an optical camera obscura? I bet at some level you could, but I also bet it would not be very advantageous. You still need a microphone array to act as the imagine plane. The size of the pinhole is probably very constrained by sound wave diffraction (it's a pretty long wave after all, compared to light). Using the directly available acoustic phase information is more compact and efficient.

Formally rigorous methods have almost always lost out in the market against slop like JavaScript.

I think the reasons are completely pragmatic and boil down to two things.

The first is that rigorous systems usually take longer to build and meanwhile the slop ships first and gains mindshare.

The second is that rigorous systems are usually built by academics or specialists in some specific vertical and lack the easy installation, easy onboarding, and integration with other platforms that more pragmatic sloppy platforms tend to prioritize first. Those things get prioritized first because sloppy languages and systems tend to evolve from makeshift "shop jigs" used to get stuff done, not from research.
