WWDC announces hardware (sometimes improvements, sometimes innovations) and incremental improvments to software.

Sometimes they royally screw the pooch, but it becomes a talking point/memeable (the $1000 monitor stand, "courage" to remove a socket etc)

I have the same "doesn't sleep" issue on Windows (works just fine on Linux). What happens is you will sometimes think you get a black screen, but what actually happens is the backlight turns off. If you shine a flashlight at the screen you'll see it's really a Windows crash screen with a qr code, but I could never get it clear enough to scan. Either way, at that point the power management is completely off, so all CPUs are running full speed.

Given that sleep works correctly 100% of the time on Linux, but I'm not sure it's entirely on Dell, but they sure could take more interest.
I tried it but like most note taking apps like this, I feel like that drawing with vectors just doesn't feel that great: The stroke changes a bit after being jotted down, the curves sometimes end up jagged, the erase experience sometimes leaves to be desired. And selection/lasso are either missing or underpar.

Mischief was the last app with this kind of features that felt right to me. I don't know if it's the use of ADF (Adaptively Sampled Distance Fields[1], think SDF but defined as quadtrees[2]) or what. Honestly if it wasn't for the lack of a lasso tool (which I was always hoping it would come until it died) I would still just use that.

In the case of text generation, we call this "Constrained Text Generation" and it is an active field of research. Without going into too many details (I have a paper out for review about this), it's pretty trivial to get "interactive control over how much or how little the AI generates" by a combination of filters on the LMs vocabulary, and effective selection of the various hyperparamaters in the decoder (top_p, top_k, temperature)...
It gets 10x the votes because it is 10x as interesting.
ehhh, at the time they had some pretty stellar spam filtering... Rest of the industry caught up quickly (both the good and bad)
The arrogance displayed in some of these comments is astounding. Never mind the fact that our very existence is evidence of the existence of a Creator.

It can be easily put the other way around: to a believer, if someone starts talking that we came into existence from nothingness, then they lose credibility to the former.

Point is, this is not the way to have a discussion.
I feel like texting was unlimited by the time iMessage became prominent. At least I do not recall text costs being a concern for domestic texts anytime in the 2010s.

I do remember international texting costs driving adoption of WhatsApp though. It was a killer app that everyone knew how to instantly use, not have spam, and the contacts/pics/video/group sharing just worked across all phone OSs.

Edit: In fact, the exact opposite is what I think happened. Texting was unlimited in the US, or effectively unlimited because it was so cheap, that people in the US did not bother to look into a non default SMS/MMS apps to message others, since Americans are mostly contacting other Americans.

All the people I knew who had international contacts jumped on WhatsApp, but a huge portion of Americans never contact anyone outside America, so they never cared about international messaging costs, and never bothered with WhatsApp/Viber/Tango/Skype/whatever other chat app was out there to bypass text costs.

This gave Apple an advantage because they can implement their own iMessage in the default SMS/MMS app, and ramp people up onto iMessage without people even choosing it.
Google killed Google Reader, which killed RSS.

I don't understand the argument of it not being a money-maker, since the publisher of the feed controls the content. In most cases they would just publish an excerpt or even just the title, which forces you to read the article on their website anyway.
It's very much a US-centric thing.

Rest of the world is bemused by the stories of bullied US teenagers who don't have 'the right' bubble colour on their SMS-ish app. Elsewhere we've all been using whatsapp/telegram/signal etc for years and we're never going back.

I think maybe the worst decision Apple made was not trying to push out their service (with maybe a few limitations to upsell the hardware) - although I guess blackberry tried to do that and it didn't work out.
Oh, that's disappointing that these seem to be org-level issues. If I were ever to apply to Meta, it would be to RL only, and they do have a few interesting openings. Thanks for replying, though!

It's very sad that some people were keen to lump the denialists, antimaskers, or the Chloroquine people, with valid concerns about lockdowns or school closures.

Sometimes. Sometimes they snipe you. But yes, I agree resellers have value. I'm just saying people who've never tried to sell a product rarely see it.

Just a guess: maybe it is designed to serve English only to specific English-speaking regions such as the UK and USA, and defaults to German otherwise.
The fact that you and I exist is sufficient evidence that the Creator exists.

It was designed by Miyazaki though, who also wrote and drew the manga (which is better than the movie, having space for more material, of course). You can see Miyazaki aesthetic throughout all his works, pre and with Ghibli.

Push notifications are useful in browsers in all the same places they are useful in mobile apps. Note that browser push notifications also work on mobile, so you don't need to install an app to get real time alerts.

For example:

- Sites with chat can send you messages even if you don't have the tab open (or even browser in some cases)

- Online game e.g. board game or chess can push to you when it's your move.

- Home alerts, e.g. that your garage door has been opened

Sure there are a lot of spammy notifications, e.g. sales alerts, news items, etc. that most people probably don't want, but there are genuinely useful use cases.
It would be nice if mobile browsers had push notifications in IOS because it would make it possible to have browser based mobile apps with some chance of feature parity.
Any powered aircraft large enough to carry a person is inherently noisy and dangerous. All serious vertiport proposals I have seen for quiet electric aircraft assume a dedicated facility at least as large as a city block. And even those are only feasible if there is no significant NIMBYism in the area.

Rooftop landing pads could work, at least in principle. They are however risky enough that Western cities often outright ban them in urban areas or limit their use to emergency situations.
I mean, why should regulations me more lenient on sci-fi chopper/plane crossovers than on regular choppers?
Rosetta's biggest flaw is lack of AVX support.

We had to put so much effort to just run things on Rosetta because all of our compiled code had AVX enabled. We also needed to chase down pre-compiled binaries and re-compile them without AVX, we still haven't finished this work.

Autorotations are regularly trained (and often taken all the way to touchdown during training). The checkride for private and commercial rotorcraft has a power failure at hover taken all the way to touchdown as part of the standard.

Autorotations are by no means a "gimme", but if every autorotation "likely" caused significant injuries, there wouldn't be enough helicopters or pilots to go around (no pun intended).
We live in a world where not long ago smoking was considered fine by doctors. Where fat is demonized on nutrition labels while obesity surges. Where leaded gasoline was banned in gas not that long ago. Where a dozen diseases are increasingly prevalent and we have no idea why. To suggest that medicine hasn't figured something out is completely sensible. It can be argued that mRNA vaccine breakthroughs might not have happened without COVID, before that we didn't have it figured out. How many ophthalmologists are doing research, and how many are doing their job and going home because research doesn't pay? In every age many are convinced we've reached the pinnacle of science and have everything figured out, and that is pants on head retarded.
"private right of action" -> means that private individuals can sue the corporations that break the rules, they don't have to rely on a government agency to bring charges. (I'm not against government agencies also bringing charges, but that shouldn't be the only enforcement mechanism)
Same question about why the US's navy marines fought in the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan far from any beaches, rather than leaving the land warfare to the US army.
I'm not sure it's meant to be political, and instead A-political in that they don't want to be involved in the "fight for free speech" that seems to attract the most racist and bigoted dregs of society to projects that wish to partake. In the author's desire to be apart from that, you've labeled them in a way that may or may not be accurate. Being anti-racist doesn't have to be a "leftist" ideology but complaining about their stance on it and labeling them leftists sounds like you're admitting right leaning people tend to be more racist. I'm not sure if that's the picture you intended to paint. I don't see any labels for this being "leftist" on the project webpage or on the GitHub readme.
I don’t think any amount of showmanship would make Google product and service announcements as interesting and impactful as Apple’s.

One problem is that Google doesn’t stick with or commit to most things, except Search and e-mail. So Google products just aren’t that interesting.

Another is time to release. Apple doesn’t generally announce things (with a few exceptions) unless they are close to release. It’s no fun to get excited about something and then wait a year or two.
Awesome!

If you could create a full workflow to create the plugin with only JS I'd actually be able to build one.

UUIDs (as GUIDs) in Windows predate RFC 4122, so I don't think it's that unreasonable that they're not compliant with the spec (since the exact contents of a UUID aren't typically that important, but consistency in how you produce them is).

The GUID implementation in Windows derives from the DCE RPC specification [1]. That's where the multibyte integers in the RFC 4122 specification come from (they're stated the same way in the DCE RPC spec), and it doesn't explicitly specify their endianness. It does call them "NDR integers", but NDR integers can be little endian or big endian depending on implementation. DCE specifies a mechanism by which you'd indicate which you're using in an RPC call, but that data's not included in the UUID format-- you get whatever byte order the system's decided to use, which, for Windows, is little-endian.

Apple invented the non-standard "viewport" meta tag and gave guidelines on how to use it [1]. The article that has popularized the term RWD mentions iPhone four times [2]. For me it is obvious that RWD started from the iPhone, but maybe our viewpoints (or viewports) differ.

My ML professor at the university I went to was also weirdly obsessed with MLP.

> But they all really have just one secret to getting rich quickly: aggressive investing.

Ramsey doesn't talk about getting rich quickly. He talks about getting out of debt as quickly as possible. That frees up money for investment, but he doesn't claim that it's easy to get rich quickly through investment or otherwise. The closest he comes is saying that you can't get rich at all if you're stuck in debt.

Note that Ramsey does talk about how to earn more money to help get out of debt.

As far as credit scores goes, Ramsey doesn't talk about improving them. His whole thing is about living a life where your credit score is irrelevant because you're not borrowing money.

My main takeaway from the article is that the author didn't read Ramsey.
My hot take - project management is about co-ordination with other teams

If you are co-ordinating through the code, you hardly need a common methodology let alone a common tool. If you are co-ordinations outside of the code (ie by having a project manager send their updates up a chain) then yes common methodologies matter

So this is a problem of software literacy - a company that cannot introspect itself cannot see where it is.
Sibling post by Moru has it mostly right

Additionally, I have it in my head that not bothering to fix menus shows a certain admirable pragmatism. "Frind pok" is not correct but it is correct enough.
The very fact that you're implying that being smart and believing in God are somehow contradictory reeks of condescension. Not to mention that you're grouping all religious doctrine for all religions into a "fairy tale" bucket shows that you did not spend time or effort understanding at least the existing major religions on Earth.
You cannot be a Dem or a Repub pol and survive a primary reliably without hewing to certain ideological precepts - there are notable exceptions, Cuellar of Texas and Collins (to a lesser extent) for example - Even with them, hewing too far outside of the ideological precepts your voters have will find you losing a primary.

The real root of most issues with our system is the primary, This could be remedied by either getting rid of primaries entirely - or introducing fusion voting, either solution would solve the drive to ideological purity during the primary cycle.
> literally zero impact outside of the Apple echo chamber

I expected this to be the case 2 years ago, but since then it seems like Apple Silicon is legitimate competition. I don't think it's irrelevant. If they continue to pull forward, it will have an effect on the market outside of where Apple currently does business.

> products based on the Apple chips are underwhelming, considering that Apple has full control of the hardware and software

I can't speak for anyone else. I find them to be very impressive though, and it looks like they've started on an impressive trajectory. The hardware is exceeding my expectations by a wide margin.

I agree that the software could be better, but it could have been with or without their move to their own silicon. It's been in gradual decline for a while, I think.

Iirc, the manga was started shortly before or even during actual production of the movie, but completed and published much later. So it's not a straightforward "based on", in many ways - it's a bit like the latter part of Game of Thrones. But I agree that the manga is better, simply because it has time to fleshen out every aspect of the story.
I don't think anyone antitrust is relevant at all in this discussion. Nobody would think that Google Talk/Chat/Whatever is remotely close to being scrutinized by government agencies.
Basically all our taxes go to military. The military can’t even say no, we’ve got everything we need to Congress, so sure why not.
The author seems to focus on one story out of dozens (with the important moral of ‘don’t be a snowflake, it might backfire’) and calls it a “death sentence”.

They ignore that in the very next story Henry is given the chance to redeem himself by coming out of the tunnel and being useful again. This happens when Gordon, making fun of Henry, causes himself to break down and is forced to accept help from Henry to pull his train.

it gets substantially more complicated than this very rapidly, i’m sorry to say.

I appreciate the intent, and I understand that many people will do the wrong thing so this was probably an attempt to get such folks to actually read and adhere to the TOS, but the obnoxious consent dialog with a mandatory countdown turned me off. It’s probably not effective, either.

On desktop, maybe I’d open dev tools and remove it. On mobile, I won’t be bothered. I hate that this is what the web has become and I choose to simply miss out on websites that behave this way.
Exactly, and Apple has done the inverse. It is a little surprising when they sunset something. I don't think they should be pilloried, but the general reaction isn't that surprising.
Which religions?

The major monotheistic religions state that God created and initiated our universe, which does not contradict that a Big Bang happened.

Bigger potential gains, the market is controlled by competitors (FB's Whatsapp in Europe, Apple's iMessage in the US), easiest to convince an exec to greenlight it.

> That is a fantasy that almost never works out in real life.

Can you quantify this?

> Most helicopter crashes happen outside that narrow zone of survivability.

AFAIK the majority of helicopter crashes are not caused by a loss of engine power, but autorotation is relevant specifically in that context. It's not relevant to helicopters crashing into hills during storms, or hitting wires with the rotor, or anything like that. We're discussing what happens if the engine stops, not all accident scenarios.

> Even if an autorotation is semi-pulled off it's likely to be a hard landing that causes significant injuries.

Yes, but it's better than being dead.

It's fascinating that we have simple primitives or notions of analysis, deduction, causation, yet no artificial system where those features of intelligence emerge on their own.

Also probably more complete in the sense an interview is likely to be edited (to establish or reflect a particular narrative). Along the same lives the interviewer and questions are often set up in advance to accomplish the same.
