Does this approach end up causing you to keep around more state (or other resources, like connections or whatnot) than would be typical in the traditional approaches? That's kind of where my mind was wandering with my comment earlier—not expecting statelessness for every application, but wondering if it becomes any more difficult to manage state than it would be normally. (Part of why I thought this might be the case is that people naturally try to minimize resources when they have to keep it around explicitly, but when it's done implicitly, I'm not sure if that becomes more of a concern or not. I could see it going either way.)
Why is gatekeeping always considered to be a bad thing?

This of course can change any day, but for now SWIFT transfers still work with non-sanctioned banks (e.g. Tinkoff). So this may be a pretext.

Sure the iPad has its down sides. But it also does complicated things dummy easy. Example tossing a pixelated/blurred box onto a video. That's ridiculously complicated on windows and requires a hell of a steep learning curve. No problem if you have the time. But a blocker if time is and your video editing skillsets are short.
Different people have different annoyance levels with security restrictions. Personally, I'm all right if Apple's security model makes things I rarely do -- e.g., install privileged system extensions like Rogue Amoeba's Audio Capture Engine -- difficult but still possible. I understand why other people might make different choices.

Having said that, I do roll my eyes whenever I come across the phrase "walled garden" when applied to the Mac in particular, especially when people stridently insist that the Mac is just a year or two away from being locked down like iOS. (I've been hearing that prediction for over a decade, and find it less likely than ever in the era of Apple Silicon Macs.)
Seems to parse this as a back and forth without more fine-tuning. For me at least
The whole article is written like an ad. I wouldn’t take any of it at face value.
> The people at this company actually believe in the mission of bringing the world closer together.

I'm sure this is true, but that's not the point. Lots of people chose to do wrong things due to the belief in their mission.

The Russians believe they're doing the right thing in Ukraine right now, does that justify their actions, the death and destruction? People always believe they're doing the right thing, whether or not it's actually true. Corporations just make it really easy to convince yourself that what you're doing has a positive impact because they have entire teams of people whose job it is to create that messaging.

We all have the capacity to lie to ourselves, and I'm sure getting treated like a "rockstar" helps to avoid reality, as the author points out.

If you still wonder why people work at Facebook, here's your answer. They, like so many others out there, believe the lies they manufacture themselves to perpetuate this system. They're hooked on their own supply.
Thanks for explaining. I'm a native English speaker who grew up in a (fairly?) strongly guess culture, and I'm still really surprised that anyone would find this rude or threatening. It's interesting to see the very different interpretations.

> Around one in 11 children in the U.S. are prescribed stimulants like methylphenidate (also known by its brand name Ritalin)

Something is seriously wrong with the US. If 10% of children have a hard time concentrate in school, it’s not a child problem, it’s a school problem.

If 10% of children are diagnosed with a disorder, it’s not a psychological problem, it’s a problem with the disorder’s definition.

Also Jesus Jones’ album Perverse from 1993 (five years before Fatboy Slim’s release), which I highly recommend: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perverse_(album)

> Perverse [alledgedly] "enjoys the historical distinction of being the first album recorded entirely (except for Edwards' vocals) on computer." The band recorded the entire album onto floppy disks in Edwards' house, which were then used on his computer to turn the music into "zeroes and ones". […] Although the band were ridiculed at the time for the recording process, it later became an influential technique.

Agreed on PNGs, but the original poster that the parent was replying to was even complaining about designers who give them HTML and CSS, because the HTML/CSS is auto-generated and isn't production-ready. They expected to hire a frontend developer who is also a good designer. The parent's point is that this is unreasonable: they're separate jobs and completely separate skillsets. (Not that such people don't exist, it's just not the norm.)

Wormhole is a cool sci-fi word. A fun word that most people know and don't already associate with another brand. It's high tech, it's something at the frontiers of science, it's fast and futuristic. Easy to spell, easy to remember, and easy to build a new brand around.

"Galaxy.com" recently went for $1.8m, apparently, and that's like a better version of "wormhole".

Comparing to recent sales, I'd say Wormhole could easily go for $800k+. With the right buyer, maybe upwards of $1m.
"Just last week, Apple expanded its share buyback program by another $90 billion and increased its dividend. The company was asked on its earnings call if it will ever make a major acquisition—rather than continue to give money back to shareholders. Cook said the company is always on the lookout for a big deal. But perhaps those billions would be better spent on creating a new, much more global final assembly chain—and even a stronger push toward automated manufacturing."

Apple, one imagines, stays China-focused in their supply chain because they they're staying China-focused in their growth strategy. But the havoc wreaked upon supply chains and markets both by the invasion of Ukraine is a reminder of the reality of geopolitical risk and the danger of assuming any region is at the end of history. Hard to argue with Gurman that Apple is rich enough to buy themselves some insurance here.

I am going to say you are almost right. Yes, ADHD is a personality type, or a phenotype would be a better word. But this phenotype is not expressed the same 24x7 by people with ADHD. Sometimes their symptoms are easier or more difficult to manage. Why? This is because of the environment (diet, stress, etc).

It is when the phenotype encounters and unmatched environment for the genetics that we find there is an expression of disorder.

You have to make it more convenient and faster to cook at home. For me these were a set of Healthy Choice dinners that I enjoy. On the laziest of nights, I can literally chuck the entire thing into the microwave, set it for 5 minutes, and have dinner which is about 5g net carbs. 5 minutes in the microwave beats 30+ minutes waiting for a driver.
Why would they need to forgo the profit motive?

The goal would be to retain their present prime position, transported into the Metaverse.

They don't have to own the Internet and its protocols to generate $44b in operating income every year.

By helping to establish the Metaverse, they'll aim to lay down a system that makes monetization possible, which they can take advantage of with their resources. It's quite simple and straight-forward.

When you're integral to establishing a new system, you get to help form its inner workings, you get influence in setting the rules for how it works.

The current state of cyber security in industrial networks is quite scary. Many systems rely on legacy software and can not be upgraded. Also take into account the old people running the system are often hesitant to try new technologies and often do not have the wide ranging IT and cyber security knowledge to make the right decisions. Even getting isolated networks and changing default passwords can be difficult.

Vertical integration is great if it generates synergies. It’s really bad if the tie into the internal customer hinders the development of each part of the business.

Intel is not remotely robust as it’s almost completely dependent on x86 and needs to catch up with TSMC. It lost smartphones in part because of x86. Now it’s fallen behind AMD because of manufacturing weaknesses. Hence a P/E ratio of 9 vs c20 for TSMC.

TSMC on the other hand has a huge variety of customers at a wide variety of nodes.
I decided to chase "how are they measuring randomness?" down, and:

- the study mentions using the "acss" R package in the Methods section: https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/jo...

- acss's documentation directs you to another site for describing the metric: https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/acss/versions/0.2-5/...

- that site links to some other articles in its bibliography at the bottom, and mentions using "algorithmic probability" to approximate complexity: https://complexitycalculator.com/methodology.html

- the first of which is this, which describes algorithmic probability over halting 2-symbol 4-state Turing machines by exhaustive execution: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00963...

So assuming I followed all that correctly:

Your strings are more complex if there are fewer Turing machines that produce it, which is then normalized to the average of all strings to become "randomness". Too few or too many ways to create a string means less random, within this category of simple and very small Turing machines (otherwise it'd be impractical to compute).

I have no idea how broadly applicable that metric is though. It seems fairly niche to my complete amateur reading... but AFAICT all Kolmogorov complexity measures are extremely niche, as it's extremely sensitive to what the execution environment is.

But this was still an interesting rabbit hole. Figured I'd share:)

They have been warning about Apple requiring all Mac apps to come from the app store since 2011.
That's true, the decline in literacy was significant, but this is to large degree an outcome of the collapse of urban populations, even during Roman times there were relatively few literate people in the countryside. And "almost a millennium" is probably stretching it a bit, for example in Tuscany (and presumably other regions of Northern/Central Italy) most small towns or even villagers seemed to already have teachers by the 12th century and in richer cities like Florence at least the majority of boys attended a primary at least for some time (by the 14th century it's estimated that up to 30-35% of the people living in Florence could read, of course being one the richest and most developed cities in Western Europe this was probably an outlier, but then again even during the Roman times literacy probably varied significantly between Italy, the Greek cities in the east and places like Gaul or Britain).
Thanks for your comments. I don't understand much of it, but I will come back to it every now and then.

I'm generally very satisfied with my Rilatine. It helps immensely, I can actually get stuff done without my thoughts branching off in multiple directions and getting stuck in inaction. I am still surprised by my lack of awareness of the (lack of) symptoms. When it wears off I don't feel different, really. I can now recognize from experience that the symptoms return, but there's no concious switch happening. It's hard to put in to words, but for me it definitely shattered the illusion of free will.

Anyway, back to methylphenidate, thankfully the side effects are very minor for me. The only annoying thing is my cold hand & feet. And the fact that I have to take 2 pills, the 2nd dose is easy to forget.
I could switch to Concerta, but at twice the cost the switch is harder to justify. For some unexplicable reason ADHD medication is covered for children, but not for adults here.

Speaking of children, two different child psychiatrists recommended to try Omega 3 & 6 fatty accids (specifically "Eye q"), but I can't find much supporting evidence. IIRC one study showed an improvement in symptoms when combined with methylfenidate, but not without. Have you read anything about this?

Personally, I would like to try vyvanse, but like you said it's not prescribed in Europe. My doctor looked it up and would be willing to, but no pharmacy has it.
Technically they can order it, but they would have to buy in bulk, which they understandably don't want to do for one patient.
It's good to know that the patents will expire soon. The arrival of generics could make them an option, hopefully.
4f-mph means 4 fluorine-methylphenidate.
So it is a variant of methylphenidate that is similar in effect, except it is both more potent (careful dose measurement needs a gemini milligram scale) and has a much much longer half life (once early in the morning)
the fluorine is toxic in theory except its supposedly not toxic because the bond that bind fluorine to methylphenidate is one of the strongest bond in chemistry. That's why ~40% of new FDA allowed drugs use fluorine.
But it can slighly alterate the binding ratio of dopa vs noradrenaline vs sert.
You can buy it e.g. here https://rarechems.com + /4f-mph-hcl it has been tested by third party labs cf https://rc-scene.com/
the legal status depend of the country
but yeah there is a cardiotoxic risk. I would combine with Cialis 2-5mg daily since it is a potent cardioprotector and cancel vasocontriction
also I advise you to take your stim 5 day per week max, otherwise you risk building tolerance.
5 days per week might be too frequent for 4f mph, I don't know. And it's too potent to be mixed with selegiline or moclobemide.
Sure and in a way we ended up doing some of that bar-lowering.
However we could have done the same on the old niche stack which is what I used to do elsewhere. Instead of generic python devs 2-3 years out of school with 0 domain knowledge getting 50% more than starting grad salary.. you just hire new grads, teach them the niche tech & domain knowledge at once. Plus side is they are trained in "your way" and there's less retraining.

But either way, grunts depend on the lifecycle of the product.
You bring in grunts to run the plant once you've built it.
When you are in the process of building the plant you have a lot of dev work you want experienced (domain & tech) seniors doing. Foundational decisions and implementations that come from having some scar tissue in the tech & domain. Throwing grunts at the problem early will just allow you to re-implement your previous mistakes in similar ways.

And yes Python doesn't feel like a great system building language, it will probably be tucked away into the same corner as Perl in a decade or so.
He started quite a bit of other reimplementations, see https://github.com/lucidrains . Before Deepmind open sourced AlpahFold2, his implementation was one of only two available.
As a counterpoint, I recently had to use Inkscape for a few non-trivial tasks after not having used it for years, and I was pleasantly surprised that all the tools and functionalities were still in the same place as they were all those years ago. I was extremely glad that I did not have to struggle with and decipher a newfangled UX but could instead just do what I wanted in a quick and easy fashion without having to relearn it.
They were most likely looking for internal threats to infrastructure by capable people.
I agree GPT as a whole generates variable length outputs, but the model isn't generating them in a single pass, is it? I thought there was some sampling process implemented in traditional code outside the model that made it do that, and it wasn't learned. Have forgotten the details.

If Dall-E took variable length sequences as inputs, its execution time would still be O(N) on the length of the sequence and it would still have a fixed amount of memory to work with. Whereas a computer program of length N can do pretty much anything, and a human given a description can go off and think about it.

DDC actually.

And if this is the case, maybe many ADHD cases are caused by a B6 deficiency since B6 is the cofactor for DDC. Studies have pointed to this already:

Kudos for them calling a track "Zeroes and ones" back in 1993. Wonder how many non-geek people knew about zeros and ones then!
I did something analogous?/similar-ish recently.

I tried to pay my parents' credit card balance (let's say it was $1000).

I went through the process and received an automated email saying, "Thank you for paying $1000 on the credit card."

Got a call from my father a few hours later telling me he spent another $300 and could I please pay the extra $300...?

So, I signed in again and paid another $300.

Only thing is, unbeknownst to me, the $300 payment canceled the $1000 payment -- because they both were scheduled for the same day.

I only found out when I signed in a few weeks later and saw a $40 interest charge for not paying the full balance on the credit card.

<grumble>...

Definitely my fault for not paying closer attention, but still annoying.
I don't disagree with anything you've said however I think if apple were to name a new chief then that person would have to be as good or better than his/her predecessor.
That's a lot of pressure from the public on day 0.
I agree.

With that out of the way, there's a huge "but".

My personal experience after having worked in a number of different fields, is that many people who consider themselves to be super-prioritizers are basically borderline a***s who "delegate", "know when to say no", and "follow the pareto principle".

When any one of these is used sparingly and in isolation, it can help and make a positive difference. But when all 3 are present at the same time, it's a huge red flag.

It leads to people who readily dump work on others, while systematically refusing to take off other people's load when possible, and half-ass their job, effectively achieving "efficiency" by not doing stuff, secure in the knowledge that someone else will sacrifice their own efficiency to pick up the slack. And all this while feeling good about themselves on how efficient they're being.

And unfortunately, because of silly metrics that tend to favour such people, this creates a vicious cycle, with dysfunctional teams, and inefficiencies becoming externalised all over the place.
Having experimented a bit in the space i think constraint solvers are actually a little overhyped for 2d drawing. I find just being able to do math and rendering the drawing from text to be enough.
