> Apple has asked suppliers to ensure that shipments from Taiwan to China strictly comply with Chinese customs regulations

Duh! it's to China! You're just going to piss off your contract manufacturers who have government officials overlooking their supply.
This looks absolutely fantastic. If you're interested in the technical details currently available, check out the about page[0] on the official MoonRay site, or this presentation from SIGGRAPH 2017[1]. I'm particularly excited for the HeatMap render pass, seems like a really practical way to identify what's bogging your scene down. Not to mention the gorgeous volumetric rendering this engine is capable of (see How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden Realm[2]).

Really impressed that Dreamworks is making this move. They've made some of my favorite films of all time (the Dragons franchise genuinely changed my life and is a major part of why I love filmmaking, film scores, and 3D rendering) and I'm glad to see they're doing this. I can't wait to try MoonRay in Blender once a community integration exists!

EDIT: I've also come across this excellent blog post written by an engineer who worked on MoonRay for 4 years: http://rendering-memo.blogspot.com/2019/

And this paper recommended by erichocean in their reply below: http://www.tabellion.org/et/paper17/MoonRay.pdf
There was a Chinese liberalization, they got tenfold higher GDP per capita and they relaxed about some stuff that were necessities during poverty. Like punishments.

In the Cultural Revolution I remember one story about a village thief, dedicated parasite with lies passing blame and finding people's precious last reserves. You guys don't know because generally the user on HN has never felt hunger. In particular the nuance, this is marathon hunger, at a national level, long-term malnutrition under difficult work conditions. Can't say anything about it, so doggerel (like sarcastic songs, sung collectively on the field like Negro spirituals). Millions did everything right and died anyway. These thieves were cold-blooded murderers most of the time. Attempted murder in the best light.

So. The village catches him one day, really catches him and it's bad[1]. And takes him to a giant of shit. He won't open his mouth unconditionally so they open it with tongs, they feed him that shit mmm nice and full that's what you get for stealing our food, why didn't you tell us you wanted to eat our food? This is our food! He died two weeks later.

Nowadays it would be much more lax, because he wouldn't be cheating and stealing from people who are barely hanging on from starvation so...a caning for instance.

Yeah like that American in Singapore who got caned, I knew a teacher who had taught at the international school he went to and he was just BEGGING for it not just ASKING for it like WRITING LETTERS TO SANTA like how can I fuck these locals off to the point they carry out corporal punishment like I don't need to follow any law country I live because the punishment is caning and they can't cane me because I'm an American, it will make news, no amount of any anything no matter how many cops tell me what. And he did, and they did, and it did. Petulant bitchvictim.

You know I've heard stereotypes and actually met Chinese and would say...many are strictly insulting of their poverty, and slandering their correct and successful approaches for getting out of it.

Nobody sympathizes with the concept of starvation. Too well-fed to understand.

[1] I've heard a similar story about a thief on an American submarine, hard to catch but when they do catch the thief oh man.
The fact that John Scher and the likes hired the most trending acts at the time just adds to the greed of the whole situation.
Yeah, I don't do cartridges for the same reason as others: I change the ink often, and the selection with cartridges is almost non-existent (and much more expensive per ml).

For a lot of pens, there is no "locking". You just remove the cartridge/converter, and add silicone, and you're good to go. You can always revert back.
In all likelihood, literally nobody would watch.
Speaking of shaming Apple for their dealings in China, does anyone remember the time Ricky Gervais ripped Apple (and Hollywood by association) over their sweatshops at the 2020 Golden Globes?
>It's also not large-scale with only 11 requests in 2022.

We should definitely take Amazon at their word here. Such a trustworthy company should be given the benefit of the doubt. We don't need to be able to audit these claims. Amazon said it, and therefore it is fact!
Real-time is a property of the whole system though (?) not individual functions. But even if you want to reframe it to be about functions, small input is neither necessary nor sufficient for it being "real time". Like your function might receive an arbitrarily large n-element array a[] and just return a[a[n-1]], and it would be constant time. Again, the size is the simply not the correct property to look at.
> In fact to hear him tell it those capabilities are simply not available elsewhere.

This is a huge overlooked factor in all of the debate regarding the supply chain.

You can't "just move" manufacturing capabilities from one place to another, and debate the labor costs. Rather, probably more importantly, there's actually a _skills supply_ problem.
No, this issue of test practice being a confounder has been studied exhaustively for decades. There are many ways studies have been designed to determine its impact.

For example: Examining the predictive value of IQ tests between siblings in the same household (who generally have the same access to resources).

Answer: IQ remains very powerfully predictive even within a household.

A century of study and attempts at intervention have all pointed to an overwhelmingly clear result: It's not wealth that makes someone have high IQ. It's high IQ that makes people wealthy.

Children do inherit high IQ from their parents who had high IQ, but the mechanism of this isn't through wealth, it's genetic. About 80% of the variance in IQ is by genetic parentage.

Example study: Examining adoptees' IQ scores in relation to their genetic parents versus the parents who raised them. Answer: They inherit their measured IQ from their genetic parents; the adoptive parents have essentially no effect (the last 20% of variation is basically random).
I think this is a great idea and look forward to joining. I keep seeing others stumble on the "coding isn't all you need" kink in the carpet, and I'm personally trying to get all the help I can navigating a move to Big Tech Inc., where I'm having some challenges.

It seems like it will fill a niche that's left unfulfilled by communities like Blind which are... let's say "cynical".
Yeah DID is a dumpster fire. It's a consulting company's dream spec. Anything is possible but almost nothing is required. It smells a bit like SAML all over again, wherein they try to satisfy every stakeholder and end up satisfying none.
Glad to hear that we were able to help during your internship! And very cool that you were part of Codepath -- it's been so much fun for me to help out over the years. In fact, my YouTube channel started largely because I learned about recording + video editing from Codepath.

Regarding using the app, totally understandable you don't use Taro much on mobile. As an upskilling product for software engineers, we expect most of the usage to be on desktop, which is why we just released the web app.
A yearly membership to get access to a q/a database. This is a product from from ex facebook and ex robinhood employees which will selling everyone's data.

The value prop seems limited but might be good for facebook interns because outside of those types of companies 99% of companies operate differently.

The fact that past employment to questionable ethical companies is used as a selling point is a negative in my eyes.
No government interference at all! My phone, my choice!

Ukraine is a Sovereign Country, recognised by UN, Taiwan is not and technically it's still China.

In the case of Apple though, they should have put "made in China" on their iPhones, because that's where they were made (even in the case that the two Chinas situation is recognized by International institutions)

edit: apparently stating the obvious deserves downvotes here, I still don't know if it's Russians offended by the sovereignty of Ukraine or someone from Vatican State, one among the few to recognize Taiwan as a sovereign country.
This is a simplistic view of IP theft. The Chinese are much more advanced. Steal from Roomba at the beginning. Surpassed Roomba? Steal something from BMW that's secret Lidar navigation work. Steal something from Samsung for circuit design, steal something from Tesla, steal something from Mobileeye, etc.
I know some storys with relabeling some products in Switzerland to. A country would not deal with the EU. So stuff came to Switzerland, got a new label and got shipped.

International trading is a kind of funny place. I know a women who works on a company who make also things for large gas pipes (process industrie). She said, long before the war started, funny thing happened with a lot of involved companys.

Yep; you basically cannot fully enforce a moratorium on Windows without seriously pissing off finance (Excel on Mac is a joke, and Excel Online can't run macros, which is 98% of the value behind Excel)

There is a WaPo writer salivating over this take.

Good point in your second sentence, but hard see where you're coming from in the last one.

Surely the win for DreamWorks is the competitive advantage of having aspiring creators be familiar with their pipeline. If all animation studios use MoonRay, then that advantage gets erased, and the ultimate impact is null. (The only way this isn't true is if you subscribe to the belief that more MoonRay use → more MoonRay experts → more DreamWorks movies → more profit. That's probably not sound. This probably won't impact how many movies they put out, just how good they look (after benefiting from open source work) and how easy it is to hire for the movies that they put out.)
We're talking past each other. I understand your argument, and am saying that it's a poor one. You either do not understand why, which at this point must be my own fault, or do not care. I won't post further in this thread, as it's clearly not going anywhere.

> You apparently know the origin is from Yiddish Theater. That's clearly what I was referring to.

The problem, again, is that you weren't referring to it. You were labeling a character "Yiddish". This may seem to you like hair-splitting, but I assure you it's not. In English usage, the word Yiddish does not refer to a person. Full stop. The Yiddish Theater is so-called because it's the Yiddish-Language Theater, not because it's extra jew-ey.

But look, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that this isn't your coinage. Do you have a reference establishing "The Yiddish Brooklynite" as a common or accepted usage in the way you're deploying it? Maybe a book or article that uses the term to describe Bugs Bunny? Please post, I'm perfectly happy to be the schlimazel here.

> As far as Rosie goes, take it up with the scholarship. For example

Sure, fine. Considering she's a combo maid and maternal figure in a midcentury sitcom you can probably read aspects of Rosie that way. But again you're missing the point, which isn't that you were necessarily wrong. It's that your response to being challenged wasn't to engage with what the other poster was saying, or to argue your point, or even, as here, to type "jetsons mammy" into google scholar and link the first article that comes up. It was to dismiss the comment and continue bloviating in a different direction. This was also in substance the character of your response to me. It's an approach to discussion calibrated to earn points on HN, but not one, in my experience, that shows the interest or capacity to hear something from a different perspective.
Haha. Where are you living? :)
(I am in Romania, still EU)
I didn't read it as cost, but management overhead. It's easily possible to secure a Windows computer in an enterprise environment. They are fully remote and primarily a Mac shop, so they don't have that expertise or infrastructure. If you are running Linux on a Dell, then they assume you have the ability to manage that yourself.

I see this more as a function of them being fully remote more than anything else.
That is simply false, and displays a stunning ignorance of history and engineering. The low carbon source of electricity available in the 1920s was mainly just hydroelectric. It was only possible to build such power plants in a few limited locations, and the electricity generated couldn't be transmitted very far. Electricity also couldn't practically be used for most transportation, except a limited set of rail lines or short range vehicles.

The only way to rapidly industrialize and lift people out of dire poverty was to burn fossil fuels at an unsustainable rate. Now that we have built up a sufficient economic surplus we can gradually transition to a more sustainable future.

Honestly, Andreesen's understanding of the underlying cause for new housing is really poor, I'm not surprised that he is also a hypocrite, or his ignorance has lead him, perhaps unintentionally, to a hypocritical act.

This probably sounds harsh, but if anyone doubts me, I urge you to actually read Andreessen's “It’s Time to Build”. It's shockingly naive. An entire essay written to convince us of "the need to build", without the awareness that the obstacle to building is not the lack of a SV visionary pointing out the obvious, but the tangle of policy and political incentives. Read Ezra Klein's rebuttal for a more comprehensive review of why Andreesen's essay misses the mark completely[1].

I do want to highlight one positive attribute about him though. He actually had the courage, and intellectual sensibility to write out his argument and publish it in a public forum for others to read. That's the first step towards getting your ideas challenged, and, in the back-and-forth of criticism, strengthening your ideas. As far as I know he didn't engage with the more robust criticism of his ideas (i.e. Ezra Klein) and so that second step is missing, but I at least admire that he took the first step. It's frustrating to me how much society idolizes wealthy "visionaries" who don't actively publish or debate their ideas, like Musk, or Thiel (with regards to his political activity), giving them the benefit of doubt that there's nuance and intentionality behind their actions without any evidence of such.

so I guess HN is a good place.
>I'm sure that wasn't what they were looking for and their monthly bill is big ( perhaps too big ), but setting fire to the whole thing isn't the right move.

It's owned by Microsoft, a for-profit company with a long history of hostility toward open source anything.

Literally setting fire to the building and servers IS the right move if it's what brings the most money in the door and keeps as little as possible from going out.

They don't and never will care about customer goodwill for something like their paid service, they'd stop offering it tomorrow if it made money for them.
Is that even a serious question? Because the answer is (a fairly obvious) "Yes."
>This is kind of like looking at a race car and wondering how anything else can compete

Sorry I have nothing else to add to your comment, but I just wanted to say I love your analogy. I am stealing this one.
This is a packaging and assembly plant, so it probably isn't poaching the sort of talent that the EU would need to, say, implement a new process node if they were going to try to do something like that.
I wonder if this drives a schism in Google's Chrome implementation of W3C recommendations, given Google's objections to the spec. I feel like they already have shown a willingness to diverge from the specs and do what they feel is best, with a large number of experimental chrome features not included in w3c.
"Work on what you think is important" is a fantastic policy with the right people, especially if your developers are also users of the product. Where it falls down is when the team grows and the "not right people" get added to the team.

I've seen developers work on just completely the wrong stuff, and their entire salaries was 100% pissed away, or in some cases, even more than 100% because they added net-negative value.

You really need to optimize hiring the right people with the right mindset and have a good team lead/manager which balances developer autonomy with business interest. I have thus far not seen it work outside of fairly small teams, although I agree that in principle it's the best way to make a good product and keep your developers happy.
This doesn’t sound like a realistic way to live your life.

For me, I have realized that I need to do many things that are hard/boring, and the key to motivating this action is by focusing on the completed product (“looking forward to where I’m going”) as opposed to enjoying every second of the activity (“moment by moment satisfaction”).

I will read the article, but I must say first. As a UI developer, modals have many good purposes, and make it a lot simpler to develop flows where you just need to briefly redirect focus or make a confirmation. Generating new layouts where you can correctly and efficiently draw user attention & find screen space is not always easy, so I will be interested what recommendations are given in such situations.
Larry Brilliant Says Covid Rapid Tests Are Bad for Public Health
It's for wealthy people who have large homes with large open spaces. People who have enough storage that they don't have clutter on the floor.

I grew up next to a neighborhood of 5000sf+ homes, and I never saw clutter in any of them. Some of them had house cleaners, but even the ones that didn't, they had storage everywhere, so everything got put away. A Roomba on every floor would be perfect for them.

I moved away before Roomba existed, but I imagine a lot of them have it.

https://github.com/GorillaStack/gorillas/blob/master/gorilla...

The syntax is more Ruby/Lua like but with the improvements that Python is making in typing, it looks like it could get there in three minor releases.
It's really not about housing preferences.

When cities ban apartments from entire neighbourhoods, they're banning people from living there. It ensures only the very wealthy can. This means people have to go somewhere else. This could mean longer commutes for the poor and worse living conditions.

There's nothing stopping someone who wants to have a SFH from buying a lot and building a SFH. The problem is when cities impose housing bans that limit people's ability to live in these communities.
> Since when, sorry? When were we ever seen as normal people.

I said LGBQT people were happy to be seen as normal people (as their goal/ultimate achievement), and nothing more than that. Which is somewhat different than to what's happening now where it seems like special status and attention is demanded.

> with the things queer people experience on a daily basis.

I'm not denying these things happen.

> - deny my right to marry my partner - deny my right to adopt kids - deny my friends' right to start HRT, so that she can stop feeling gender dysphoria every single day - stop laws that would protect me from being publicly berated in public for my sexuality - push homophobic and transphobic rethoric on their children, so that LGBTQ+ teens go through hell

Well, shit, gays have had these worries for a long time, but on a bigger timeframe everything is shifting more and more towards acceptance and integration. Just look at how much the LGBQT movement has achieved the last few years. Absolutely unthinkable 20 years ago. Getting HRT is as easy as never before, marriage equality has been fully achieved with the Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015.

Sure, you have concerns because of the recent abortion issues, I understand and as would I if I lived in the US, but these are initially concerns, and nothing else.

> I'd wager that "marriage", "family", "not feeling like shit", "being respected" are pretty basic rights... aren't they?

They are, and aside of feeling like shit, which unfortunately is largely based on your own psychological issues and markup, everything of this is readily available and achievable.

You know what I'm pissed about? Pushing it further and further and hurting your own cause. I can only reiterate again, I am not transphobic or anything else, I am myself bisexual, and I have no tolerance for actual hate rhetoric and propaganda in these directions. But raising valid concerns isn't any of that. I have literally been attacked for stating that I am bisexual and don't have neopronouns. The (radicalized) LGBQT movement is discriminating against races and their own peers, spreading hate, and using violent methodology to force their own political beliefs. And when you start calling people that simply raise concerns transphobic..
