> It was the GPUs that evolved, not the CPUs.

That's not quite true. Every architecture iteration brought an increase in IPC, while every process improvement allowed for higher clocks and lower power dissipation. It's true that GPUs evolved a lot more - but that's mostly by getting bigger, wider, and having wider, faster pipes to its own RAM and the shared PCIe bus, as well as bigger heatsinks and fans.
Hey, I like the premise of the app, but I face one major problem when using it (on an IPad 2019): once I have selected a place from the map view (so that I can review it, get the route etc.), it is not possible to go back to the map view. Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

I find the defense of Apple in this case absolutely fascinating.

You know how I can tell that Apple made that change not with the user in mind?

By the fact that until a 3rd party proved Apple was throttling older phones, Apple never publicly stated they were doing this. I’m fact, they vehemently denied it.

I saw this on a personal level, where my mother who took 2 trips abroad about a year apart, with the same phone (and she had a lot of disk space in both trips and she hardly installs any apps) found the phone an absolute pleasure to take pictures during the first trip, kept missing shots while waiting for the camera app to load in the second one.

And on taking the phone to the Genius Bar multiple times, she was gaslighted each time as the Genius showed her their diagnostic results which showed that no, her phone was in perfect health (minus a slight degradation in battery life).

Of course, a few months later the entire world learnt that, in fact, her phone had slowed down, and Apple was lying. What’s interesting is that Apple diagnostics tools (which should probably have a speed test?) also reported everything as being just fine.
Cult of personality? Are we living on the same planet? As far as I know people talk about him a couple of time a year. No statue, no memorial.

Yeah people erase his flaws a bit, yes it's a bit annoying, but he actually tried to do something positive in his life instead of trying to get rich at any costs like that "genius" of Zuckerberg (genius for what?).

So people remember him, I doubt most people will care when Zuckerberg will die, he just didn't do anything to deserve it, your money doesn't make you a good person.
If someone answered every question the way the interviewer thought it should be answered that is probably an indicator of lack of diversity of thought, but I think it would actually be hard to spot because they would really look like the perfect candidate - unless the interviewer thought of themselves as a bad candidate / unoriginal thinker - which is unlikely.

On the other hand someone answers in a way that you have decided before hand is just the misguided answers of a particular tribe can be lack of diversity of thought, because you happen to be right about the preconceived ideas of said tribe, but pretty hard not to see that as the result of bias.

If on the other hand someone says some things you don't understand, espouses ideas completely alien - insane!

Litnerd (YC S21) Is Hiring a Children's Book Editor
you know, I've have had the exact same idea floating around my head for a while - why is everyone talking about react when JS isnt even a thing at majority of CS programmes. It's great that JS is everywhere but frontend has become a grey, amorphous blob that no one really knows. And modern JS web frameworks really do feel like a OOP framework - as if some companies had an excess of backend C#/Java/PHP devs and decided they should infact do frontend. When they got there, there were no types, no classes, everything is an object and the realization that frontend tooling is simple but crazy difficult to get good at.

But to be fair, there is some pushback to the complexity - libs like Alpinejs and Svelte are a joy to work with because they try to keep it as simple and magicless as possible. So there is hope.

Yup, you can also set up Steam to launch Big Picture mode at Windows boot, if you wanted to use the computer exclusively for gaming, and in addition, it's currently the best way to use a game controller on Windows, since when running in Big Picture it takes over all game controllers with its own input wrapper, which makes nearly any game controller work in a unified way with completely configurable controls. This is quite a big problem on Windows where a lot of controllers won't work without fiddly and often suspicious 3rd party driver packages and programs.

Additionally, Big Picture mode lets you remap controller buttons to basically anything you like (other buttons, keyboard keys, entire sequences of actions, mode shifting, overlay menus, different actions depending on if you press/double press/hold, etc). And, you can browse controller configurations that other people have made, too. Often there are lots of solutions for games that don't officially support controllers, and even in those that do, often there are improved mappings with added features like gyro aiming, or using a combination of gamepad and mouse input (all on the controller of course) to improve in game aiming.

I don't like how people downvoted this comment without even saying why.

The wording may be harsh (not what I think, just attempting to guess) but I believe there is truth in it; although the idea of allowing free access to academic journals is laudable, the way he went about it was naive/wrong in my opinion and impulsive as you say.
A few major factors, in roughly decreasing order of subjective importance:

1. Console games are initially more expensive, but you can sell them used when you're done, which isn't possible on PC. I regularly buy games for $100 (Australian pricing) and sell them a month or two months later for $80. (I'd rent them, but rentals don't exist anymore. I keep the ones I really really loved, but sell on most.) On PC, the same game might launch for $10-20 less, but that doesn't make up for not being able to get $80 back from every purchase.

2. Many games are unfortunately exclusive to a particular console, including many of the most popular franchises, e.g. Mario, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, and The Legend of Zelda are only on Nintendo consoles. If those are your favorite games, then none of the other factors really matter. And it's much more common for games to be exclusive to a console than exclusive to PC; there's virtually nothing these days that doesn't end up on the consoles, there are usually a couple of major blockbusters every year that don't make it to PC.

3. PC graphics card prices have absolutely skyrocketed due to cryptocurrency mining. I paid $130 for my graphics card seven years ago; the same model regularly sells for $150 on eBay now and when I look at replacing it, I can't find anything that significantly beats it for under $300. I looked at spending my tax return on a multi-part PC upgrade, but to match the performance of the new PlayStation I'd have to spend nearly double its price, and most graphics cards would require me to join a waiting list. (As it is, I went with neither and I'm waiting to see what happens next year.)

4. Formerly, playing games together with friends in the same room. Sadly, this is less and less well-supported on consoles with every year that goes by, but it used to be practically exclusive to them, and not something PC games ever implemented. This was especially important for kids (who make up a huge portion of the market and often have siblings to share the console with) and students (who would hold multiplayer game nights in dorms etc). It matters even for online multiplayer, though. You want the system your best friends have so you can all play together. And that's more likely to be one of the major consoles, and you'll rarely get your whole friend group to switch, especially if it's to a more expensive (at least upfront) option.

True, all you need is to track debts. Gold is just a token that represents an implicit balance sheet. It's effectively security technology. The problem is that an implicit balance sheet is highly speculative. People owe each other products and services. The gold standard is still credit money.

However, no given individual has to accept the currency and has to owe anything to anyone. Because there aren't any explicit agreements or written contracts between parties anyone can back out at any instant. That is why gold is so highly speculative. Nobody really knows how much stuff you can get out of it if you were to trade it for products and services.

The non-PC answer would be ethnic nepotism and corrupting influence through AIPAC and ADL. Jews are heavily overrepresented throughout every circle of power and influence (media, academia, business, politics) and trying to reign in Israel would mean going against that entrenched jewish power block which any prospective US presidential candidate relies upon. Call it a 'deep state' if you will.

From Wikipedia it feels like maybe the court placed a guard on site to *prevent* IGR from collecting anything from the premises (there was an ongoing dispute on the property)

> The fate of the abandoned site was disputed in court between IGR and the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, then owner of the premises

My understanding is that this is how the court got involved, not because of any radioactive materials; IGR owner tried to make the court aware & let him retrieve the radioactive materials but had no luck.

It is admittedly unclear if the guard was posted to protect the radioactive materials or just the building in general. However, do note that guard is also not one of the named defendants (if it was his responsibility specifically to protect the capsule, I argue that he failed big time and should've been prosecuted for it; if he was just told "guard the building", it's a different issue in my mind).

> It's much easier to optimize for the known hardware configuration of a console than for "all PCs".

Sometimes with significant quality downgrades, I remember texture quality of early Skyrim being abyssal because the whole game was console optimized. On the other hand there is cyberpunk which apparently didn't even reliably run on some of the consoles it was released on, no idea if it was because of released date agreements or if it was just a shitty money grab.

As far as I understand the great upside of consoles in the past was that the manufacturers strictly vetted the quality of games you could release for them. There have been a few "scandals" where they obviously rescinded those controls to get a game out in time for a specific season only to have it crash and burn. Not sure how strict the controls are now, do they still vet the games strictly or is it just an app store with minimal quality checks?
I am naive to the economics of it but I imagine they could also choose to act as publishers where they take a cut of sales on all platforms. I believe their objective is to entice people to buy the console on the basis that it has better games than the competition - not all together bad - but as someone who likes video games I would like them to find another way to compete.
Wow this is some harsh criticism.

I'd be curious to know why he deserves to be attacked for his technical know-how. Also I am curious to know why you think committing a crime out of conviction is inherently immoral. If we equate laws with morals we will never improve our ethical understanding of the world.

> Just buy a prebuilt and install Steam and you are done.

Once you buy a prebuilt machine you're losing a good chunk of the savings that people talk about when buying a PC. You also don't just install steam, you have to install drivers, and maintain an OS (which doesn't have a controller friendly input method) so you need a keyboard and mouse around for windows update time or driver update time.
This does not seems like a generous interpretation of what op said. The slight that op mentioned could have been surgical and precise, and just enough to kick off a conversation, and not enough to trample the interviewee.
That won't be for a very long time. There's a lot of Mac Pros out there. They're still supporting the 8-year old 2013 Mac Pro, the trashcan one. They sold a lot of the revised Mac Pro to animation studios and such. I wouldn't count on support for those being dropped for at least ten years.

Ya, the problem is legal challenges with a lot of locations, ie:
- some countries have no legal system, big risk to hire there.
- some countries are illegal to do business with depending on the companies location
- some countries/states/counties have local taxes and weird tax nexus issues. That can be a big problem.

Where are you based? Is your location one that falls into one of those?

> Of course, Valve can design and release their own console with fixed hardware and they could perhaps out-compete Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft. But a customizable PC, especially one where you can install any Linux-based OS you want, will never be able to destroy the console market.

I don't understand your argument either.

I think it's logical to assume when they already introduced "Steam Deck verified" (cf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL0NIhJpHg0 ) that Valve will release a fixed config, and that developers will be able to finetune their game to run great on it.

Where I follow you is that in theory Valve allows other manufacturers to build a Steam Deck compatible hardware, and hence there may be third party alternatives to their rumored console, which indeed could have perhaps different GPU / CPUs...

In that case first thing comes to mind, is when you hear of all those 30 FPS games on today's consoles.. what are we losing here? Some mythical "console experience"? When consoles today do have all kind of lags and stuttery gameplay since games engines nowadays are more complex than ever? There's basically no downsides.. I mean even Nintendo I was watching someone play a simple game like Animal Crossing and the loading times were so long... where is the mythical console experience? Seems like it's been gone for a long time. Now you get a polished experience, and a platform that (in theory) doesn't crash, and doesn't require you to figure out drivers and whatnot.

Next thing comes to mind is, for those people who are new to PC GAMING, they don't need to touch anything. They are not going to "install any Linux-based OS they want". Why would they do that? That scenario is strictly for the advanced users like us who would already have a capable "gaming PC" and are confident about hacking things.

The cheating part is partially addressed by Valve, they're working with anticheat developers.

Regarding cheating it seems like consoles are no longer a "pristine environment" due to crossplay:

This is dramatically more complicated than it actually is. It does come back to competencies and structures. For instance, at AWS, this boils down to wide technical competencies and leadership principles. Of the nearly 100 interviews I did at AWS, I probably never had two that were very close, just due to people’s resumes, prior experience, and breadth of interests.

>Can someone explain the strong ties between US and Israel, and why US stands behind Israel, no matter what?

Others have tried to explain this, but I want to note that this impression is a tiny bit exaggerated.

The US has a strong relationship with Israel, but there are countries which have better ties with the US, or at least get more from the US - South Korea has a direct defence alliance, Pakistan gets (read: extorts) more money, Britain has the 'special relationship', Australia just got nuke subs, etc.

Also, can you think of any US President which did not have a public fight with Israel since Carter? Excepting maybe Trump, all of them had some nasty public spat with an Israeli government.

I suspect the main source of this impression is that it's useful for both Israel and its enemies.
