because that kind of transaction system isn't in high demand. People already suffer from choice-fatigue and if anything people are likely looking for bundles that give them access to more papers for a flat fee rather than the opposite.

It's why Spotify and Apple Music exist rather than people paying a fraction of a cent for each song.
So in other words, his case against the higher order of mathematics is:

- He doesn't have a high opinion of it

- He makes a vague allusion to some unspecified conflict of interest (?!)

- He argues that first-order skill development is most effective (which may be true, but misses the point).

- He says that higher order value of mathematics is "unsettled".

As he is defending a fundamentally anti-intellectual position, I'm going to need a little more than that.
Agreed. There were minor use cases were it was delightful to use (able to swipe & adjust brightness or volume). But overall it was just useless.

You weren't even able to skip to the next song, like you can on the old function keys. Play & skip to next song are probably my most used buttons, one of which never stand-alone existed on the Touch Bar.
Only major browser not to support it? Firefox doesn’t either and every other browser just does so because they all use the same engine. A better characterisation of the situation might be: “Web Bluetooth is a non-standard feature supported only by one of the three modern browser engines”.

I’m so tired of Google inventing arbitrary stuff for the web, implementing it, and everyone then expecting Mozilla and Apple to just follow suit.
If you don't trust Apple, why would you trust a third party auditor?

I can't think of any entity I would trust with securing truly sensitive information. For important stuff, do it yourself. For simple things, including bank accounts and such, I see no issue with trusting Apple.
Sadly, the sites that don't work on 12ft.io is growing. I keep running into this when trying to read NYT.
Please either support made-up arguments like this, with sources, or even better, don't post them to begin with. Don't waste our time.

Absolutely nobody wants to hear that you have magical oracular powers that enable you to tell us what the secret evil motives are behind Apple's CPU development iteration schedule and product release schedule.
M1 Pro is 35B transistors, M2 is 20B, fyi.
This seems to be an ongoing trend, and this article continues the trend by casting the Mongols as some kind of egalitarian society.

20 years ago-ish, a book came out about Chingis Khan that extolled the virtues of his multicultural, pantheistic regime and totally glossed over the many genocides the Mongols perpetrated. Not to mention the guy probably raped more women than anyone else in history.

Edit: To add to this, a lot of what is written about Mongols in Chingis Khan's time is conjecture. They were not a literate people, so there are almost no records. They were nomadic and buried their leaders in secret locations, leaving scant archeological evidence. Many conclusions that have been drawn about the Mongols are speculative. Fast forward to the Yuan dynasty where there are records in Chinese. That era and locality have better documentation.
> let me tell you that software documentation/support is worth so much more than features or power.

This is precisely why I left the RPi ecosystem for the Beaglebone ecosystem.

RPi is great for beginners. The moment you leave that level--the support is trash.

The BBB is tougher for beginners. However, everything is documented in datasheets like you expect. When you need to step up and out of the ecosystem, you can.
The author states:

>"Most sites block content with a simple JavaScript-generated facade, and bypassing them is as simple as disabling JavaScript. The Firefox Reader View is fantastic for bypassing paywalls of this type."

Is this also how "Reader View" on iOS works? Would using no-script or disabling JS in Chrome or Firefox produce the same result then?

>"The FT is the most interesing one. Many of their articles are blocked right away. But the trick here is to copy the title of the article, paste it into google.com, click on the link from Google and presto - the article is visible."

Can someone say how this works? Does this work on the HTTP Referer header?
144hz 4K is common yes. 5k upwards there is nothing above 60hz.
Piracy is a business problem. They'd happily sell you one article a year if you're willing to pay more to offset the lack of a predictable revenue stream. Feast or famine tends to be a big problem for sustainability though, and it's one reason companies like Adobe moved Photoshop to a subscription model.
I use archive.is or just close the tab.
The new M2 13" pro is in exactly the same unit as the old Intel 13" pro I guess, just with a different processor?

It's also the only "new" M1 or M2 machine with touchbar (seems to have been dropped elsewhere) and without the new magsafe.

It seems to be kind of a mistake, and a mistake to buy it.
Indeed, when someone argues against their own interests we should take them more seriously, not less. That Edwards thinks the main arguments for teaching advanced Math is garbage when that’s his livelihood should make us look at it closely.
Tech Preview is typically a preview of what's coming up for Safari on the current version of macOS. So Tech Preview doesn't 'spoil' the major OS releases and I imagine it's also not really technically possible given the integration between Safari and the OS. Most major OS releases come with things that Safari makes use of.
The no-street-parking thing goes hand in hand with another restriction: you have to prove you have an off-street parking space within a short distance (I seem to recall 800m when I was registering, but internet suggests 2km) of your residence. If you don't, you can't buy a white plate vehicle. Ownership of vehicles is much more regulated than north america
How about getting a MacBook Air and using your iPad Pro as a second display (using SideCar) on which you can also draw with your Apple Pencil? Possibly more flexible than a Wacom tablet.
I have explicitly and repeatedly pointed out that individual applicants each engaged with only a very small portion out of a very large test — the entirety of which had its questions printed across 40 pages.

There was obviously no “sadistic 40 page handwritten essay”; individuals engaged with whatever individual questions they wanted to, and would normally write their answers into the bits of blank space left in between the questions. I’d estimate that a normal applicant who answered ten to twenty questions would normally write substantially less than what would constitute a single page of text in total.

Again, I’m not a monster. I’d really appreciate it if you’d assume positive intent and ask for clarification rather than jumping to the worst possible interpretation you can invent and then stridently declaring that you’d take legal action on the basis of the fictional “sadistic” thing you’ve chosen to believe I was making people do.

The linked article mentions $80, which would give a little more room:

> The console will cost 9,980 yen before tax; at just under $80, this is in line with the pricing of earlier mini-consoles.

At the same time, on eBay the analogue pocket routinely sells for $700 - $1000, so it seems there's quite a gap in supply for this

Did I miss the thesis? He concludes with a statement that isn’t even true.

Higher mathematics should be offered and taken by those who need it, or want it; but never required of all students.

I studied economics and computer science at a top-20 university. I did a grand total of one course in the math department (1st semester calculus). Everything else was specific to my areas of study. I don’t recall anybody being forced to take high level mathematics outside of engineering programs. Even within the hard sciences, the requirement was usually something like “take 2 semesters of math, plus statistics.” Or something like that.

Would the author also argue that since I don’t use history at my job I should never have taken government, architectural history, or a survey of western religions? Those all contribute to my understanding of the world around me. As does math.

If his point is we need more generalists with a broad understanding of the world, including social sciences and history, that could be a valid point, but it’s not the one he made.
What even is "used memory" anyway?

I'm sitting here on an M1 MacBook Pro with 64GB of memory. I'm running Chrome with a few dozen tabs open, Slack, VS Code, and Terminal. Apparently 32GB of memory is being "used".

Do you believe I would experience noticeable performance loss if I was running 16GB of memory?

I would happily pay for well researched information and that is not on a website overencumbered with advertisements. And has a useable blog like experience.

Is this the collective action problem? We cannot have nice news websites due to the profit from subscriptions is too low to afford business so they add adverts everywhere.

I think microtransactions could work. But people need to be willing to pay and people aren't willing to pay the same as me. I don't want to subscribe to one newspaper I want a mixture of information available.
This is so cool! Impressive use of ZK proofs.
>That’s a willful misinterpretation of the 2nd amendment that has been specifically rejected by the Supreme Court.

It was the correct interpretation of the 2nd Amendment as supported by the Supreme Court for two centuries until they changed their mind in 2008, and even then four justices dissented.

What the Constitution says and what Constitutional rights exist and in what form comes down to the subjective interpretation of the court, and as history has shown, even recently, that interpretation can turn on a dime.

>It’s also contrary to many state constitutions, which provide an even more definitive individual, affirmative right to bear arms.

Those constitutions were either updated after Heller or else were unconstitutional prior to 2008.

"High fidelity lossy" would be an honest name.

Well, even my phone feels about a million times faster than the desktop machine with an old pentium chip (that was in the mid megahertz range) that I was still using 20 years ago.
No, "civilized" here is supposed to allow the speaker to ignore all of the countries where gun control doesn't help. Do not pay any attention to the racism of calling those countries "uncivilized".
I understand that the author is "an intellectual", but he is nonetheless defending a fundamentally anti-intellectualist idea.

This is not compatible with an inquisitive, academic or intellectual mindset, no matter that he is a professor or that he holds a PhD. He's free to advance arguments in support of this position, but he should be met with extreme skepticism, as he is defending a difficult position.
I have a new M1 14" MBP, and an old 2015(!) Intel 13" MBP.

They are pretty much exactly the same height/width, if you put one on top of the other they line up close to perfectly. The 14" just has less bezel.

The M1 14" is thicker and heavier though.
Agreed, which is why I found the link to apple.com surprising.
I point the finger directly at regulations.

Who has the time to track lightning transactions for IRS capital gains reporting.

This is half accurate. CarPlay doesn't control anything directly, true. However, CarPlay is providing information that users need to drive safely, and that can probably fail spectacularly. So your claim that the car isn't going to crash because Apple Music is flaky is false.
> Story time: either a huge challenge they overcame to become the great success they are today, or trying to make the most basic common sense sound like some insightful breakthrough.

Just sounds like LinkedIn. But I always see this kind of garbage on places that aren't pseudonymous, if there's any degree of anonymity they (rightly) get shit flung at them.

That's what's nice about HN imo. Fewer bullshitters stinking up the room
Suddenly everyone is an expert on the logistics of running an empire! Is it so hard to believe that women were in positions of real power there, especially when men were overwhelmingly occupied with warfare? If you read the article you find she later ran the whole shop. It's not dishonest at all, quite the opposite, as the scholar in the article notes, it is dishonest to _downplay_ the role women had in running and expanding the empire. They just weren't riding to battle.
It wouldn’t even need crypto, you just need a company with a ledger that has some big partners in news and entertainment. Apple could do it with their existing Apple Pay system. It makes me think the real difficulty might be regulatory.
I know they came later, so I'm still confused why RTSP and SIP weren't implemented atop HTTP. I realize that RTSP and SIP can push server to client, but there's ways around that, though perhaps long polling and Websockets weren't conceivable when RTSP and SIP were invented. I mean, in a pinch, I have an HTTP server serving a folder where SDP files are generated, and I've written clients that just look for a well-known SDP file and use that to consume an RDP stream. It's a ghetto form of "signaling" that I love using when doing experiments (not suitable for production for various reasons obvious to you I imagine.)

I'm not saying WebRTC had poor design decisions or anything. I think it was very smart for WebRTC to reuse SDP, RDP, etc so the same libraries and pipelines could keep working with minimal changes. It also means very little new learning for folks familiar with the rest of the stack.

> For realtime media, if we are able combine “locator:identifier” issue, we will be able to make media and signaling work inband.

+1000. I think RTSP+TCP is a decent way to do in-band signaling and media, and RTMP defines strict ways to send both anyway.
Is it really the teaching which makes the difference though? I struggled with math through all levels of school. As an adult, I struggled with with programming, but I was self taught. After putting in the hours, I eventually learned enough to make a living from it. I then realized, that maybe the students who did well with math put the same effort as I did in learning programming. The difference between math and programming for me is that I immediately saw the utility of learning programming.
They did have it in Safari, and they took it out. There was a webkit bug open since 2015 asking them to put it back in, finally closed earlier this year.

Economists describe this kind of filter (requiring higher math) in terms of separating equilibria for skills. The conceptual idea is that the separation is too costly for the low skilled group, and even a portion of the high skilled group cannot afford to pay the costly achievement.

This is very much in line with Caplan's prior views. It holds true to a degree, but probably isn't universal.
Same issue with power here on my 9570! In fact I just checked after one month of plugged-in non-use, turning it on resulted in dead battery in < 3 minutes. What's crazy is that if I let it charge now, I will get 3 solid hours of battery life. The battery health indicates 2/4, it's definitely not a fully spent battery.

The other thing that has driven me crazy is the wide-gamut 4K screen. The text is nice and crisp, but good luck with sRGB content. Basically all content for non Adobe professionals is fubar'd. I eventually made the situation tolerable by finding an old version of Dell PremierColor and using its sRGB profile (newer versions of the software on Microsoft Store quit working on the 9570 and the color profiles do nothing - imagine that). Still get terrible color banding and crushed blacks, and I'm not even sure investing in a colorimeter would fix it.

Overall I've come to the same conclusion as you. In 2018 this was a $2000 machine (Costco price below retail), and I also can't justify giving Dell another chance.
And that is why Spotify exists and has been successful.

Maybe is worth to try something different than digitalizing paper press and make people pay yearly subscriptions for one publication.
As the next step in our everlasting quest to transform people into dehumanized drones, we should start modeling them as machines minimizing a cost function, doing away with such outdated notions as "making mistakes". To err is human, as they say.
> discussions over kidnapping or killing Assange occurred "at the highest levels" of the Trump administration, with senior officials requesting "sketches" or "options" for assassinating him. "They were seeing blood," one former Trump national security official told the reporters. "There seemed to be no barriers," said another.

Even if the UK government believed and cared about these allegations, I think that the change in presidential administration makes this information moot in terms of the extradition decision that the home secretary will make (presumably later this year). It might possibly be enough to persuade the High Court to intervene, though, especially if Trump looks likely to win a second term in 2024.
This is a great point. You have to consider directed versus serendipitous need. Most advanced careers are being invented at a rapid pace, and also roles change. We have no idea what math an engineer in 2030 will need to know every day. I have no idea what title I’ll have in 5 years.

Better to know the math and not use it for your particular role, than be unqualified because you can’t

Hmm thanks for the challenge. I tested it and on resume, audio did not play. I had to restart pipewire and then it worked again.
And if the finance minister works for Putin, and it reveals that Putin is about to attack the Baltic states?

Trying to take moral reasoning as it applies to individuals and apply it to states just doesn't work.
Lots! On my base model Mac Mini ($700, M1, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) I've played League of Legends, Factorio, Stelaris, Civilization 6. All of them have native offerings for macOS, and the experience isn't too different from Windows.

It's not a great choice for gamers, but for people that only play games casually/occasionally it's a surprisingly good choice.
Some people still own things, just not you.
Bryan Caplan didn't even write the article, Caplan just posted it. The article is by David Edwards, who is a mathematics professor. This is literally the first line of the posted link.

EDIT: I would add that Caplan is a working researcher who has made significant and original contributions to economics, where Gladwell is a journalist who interprets the work of scholars like Caplan. If anything, Gladwell is a Caplan wannabe (although I wouldn't characterize either of them in that fashion, I think they have different goals and methods)
I think Robert Moses is a good modern example of an unelected bureacrat who accumulated lots of power and used it in pretty sinister ways when he all but ran New York City.
Not necessarily the middle.

It's gravity (approximately an inverse square law) operating across the probabilistic distribution of the locations of the system.
Microsoft has a version of Windows (and even Visual Studio Pro) that runs on aarch64, specifically for Qualcomm SOCs, so it wouldn't be completely outside of possible. But I suspect they won't do it because they're probably be more interested in pushing Windows on ARM enthusiasts to Microsoft's and their partners' own hardware.
I think the OP is attempting to point out the abysmal record of gay rights in communist systems. Be it communism of the 60's, or modern communism like that practiced in China, gay's are second class citizens...tragically denied the rights enjoyed by heterosexuals.

2FA is as strong as the strongest link, not the weakest. You need both factors, not either factor.

In this case, it's just that one of the factors has a weak backup option.
That’s just school, nothing special about Math. The High School Study of Student Engagement has 17% of students bored in every class and 66% bored every day. Most people spend a large part of every day in school suffering. That’s what school is.
Plus 95% of shootings in WaPo's police database were armed people.

The bigger problem is no-knock warrants which created dangerous situations for legal firearm owners and the police themselves, with the only rationalization being flushing drugs.
It's true, you could also interpret the first amendment to mean that you have freedom of picking any religion you want, but you still have to pick a religion.

That wouldn't make it reasonable, but you could.
Yeah adding a CD-ROM onto those early 16-bit consoles was doomed from the start. The megadrive and similar consoles had just a few kilobytes of RAM so they had no hope of really loading or taking advantage of any high quality assets on the disc. You ended up with the same kinds of games and graphics but with a few full motion videos or CD audio tracks playing at times. Nintendo was planning to do a similar thing with the SNES and a CD-ROM addon but canned the whole project to instead build a new console with more memory.
Caplan is fantastic at identifying mathurbation in academic navel gazing. His (and the cited author's) opinions are well informed, even if not universal. In economics the concept is called a separating equolibrium
They smoked a fat joint when writing this, didn't they?

> First communication became digitized and free to everyone.

Arguably nothing is free, and nothing will ever be free, as long as private organizations want to make a profit. This article is hiding the downsides between the lines. Yes, social media is "free" but you pay in data, attention and effort of creating content. I wonder what the parallels to "free" energy and "free" transportation would be. In this future dystopia, you probably don't even own yourself, or your time.

I know this is a few years old, but the current WEF isn't backing away from their dystopian nightmare recommendations. They're already promoting the metaverse for ALL education, effectively creating the typical sci-fi dystopia. The lack of self-awareness is astounding (unless I'm cynical and then conspiracy theories look plausible, how can they not with these ideas).
So maybe I don't get it, but I always understood that 2FA means something you know and something physical you have. Now if I can get they keychain using something I know, does that not somewhat defeat the purpose of 2FA?

Regular 4k@120hz is totally doable on M1 Max MBP, can confirm that myself.

Hard to answer the question regarding 4k+ ultrawides @120hz though, primarily because i dont think there is a display like that in existence yet (googling didn't net much success there for me). The only ultrawide 4k+ display i found that is above 60hz is the LG 5k ultrawide with thunderbolt 4 support, and it maxes out at 70hz (and M1 Max MBP supports it at that refresh rate just fine, that's my current setup).
That's not what anti-intellectualism means.
