Companies don't have to buy from the lowest bidder. Apple could choose to support manufacturing in countries with better labor/environmental protections without any new laws.

I think border adjustments are also a good idea, but I won't give Apple a free pass for choosing to support such poor manufacturing conditions just to make more profit.

Sure, but it is still free, and even if you wanted to avoid them, you could go with Alma or Rocky, or even Ubuntu Server, all of which are also free.

> Adding an extra box to that is easier than adding a single Linux box.

Sure, managing both Windows and Linux servers is more difficult than managing just one OS is. That doesn't make Windows easier to manage than Linux, though.
This is unreasonably snarky and rude, but I'll bite because I'm curious: Why is this knowledge so useful it should be explained in the title?
Of course they want their intellectual property cake and to eat it too. Companies want to be treated like people if they are creating campaign and advocacy content that is protected by the first amendment, but they don't want AI systems, created by companies, to be treated like people if they are creating content that is protected by intellectual property laws. Interesting how to split that hair.
You're misunderstanding what corporate personhood means. The concept itself is over 2000 years old, and is baked into the laws of most countries in some form or another. It basically means that companies that are not sole proprietorships can enter into contracts, be sued in court, and have some other rights and responsibilities like a literal person under the law.

To quote the supreme court from Pembina Consolidated Silver Mining Co. v. Pennsylvania (1888):

> "Under the designation of 'person' there is no doubt that a private corporation is included [in the Fourteenth Amendment]. Such corporations are merely associations of individuals united for a special purpose and permitted to do business under a particular name and have a succession of members without dissolution."

Clearly an associations of individuals should have more or less the same rights they have individually when they come together. The right to association is at the beginning of the bill of rights.
Just a note, but anytime someone writes “there aught to be a law…” there almost always definitely should not.

Edge equipment should not be multi-purpose, "maximizing hardware" or not.

This pursuit of saving money has given us weak boundaries that are relatively easy to cross, which will ultimately cost substantially more given any successful attack. The risk of an attack is an existential threat to the business itself. Do you really want to risk your entire business because you are trying to save a few hundred for a separate device?

There are places to try to save money and consolidate workloads, but edge routers are not it.

I, too, was disappointed using Leightturm notebooks with fountain pens. They're nice notebooks, but you're right; the paper isn't very good.

I'm no expert, but my understanding is that more denser of paper (80 g/m^2 and up) take much better to fountain pen inks.

I swear by Clairefontaine and Rhodia notebooks and paper.
As “funny” as it sounds, legal personhood and literal personhood are not the same thing.

Legal personhood means that a corporation can sue, be sued, and enter into contracts. That is all.
> There is a magic in general availability. I think, if all Apple devices had it, it could have been possible to rely on its existence and build the UI with that assumption in mind. With just some devices having it, you need to have few versions of the UI to handle each case.

The way you get there is by putting it into everything for several years.

Cutting it after three is the opposite of working for that greater cause.
Pedantic if you ask me.
The target user persona currently is an engineer in a medium/large tech company -- that's where we've seen the most impact for members, since there's more structure and predictability at these companies.

Why should we suddenly make a distinction when we haven't for literally the entire run of the statistic?

All I know is that minimum wage was $4.25 an hour when I started working and the best I was able to do in a full time job with no experience was $4.60, in the mid 90s. Compare that to today where minimum wage is $7.25 (lower than it should be, I know) but most places are having trouble filling entry-level, unskilled positions for under $13.
Partially agree, but over a lifetime, many of us need only open a few doors. Picking an area of study that opens the doors you will want to open at some unknown time in the future is still hard. More is not necessarily better for everyone.
I'm sure there's some correlation between wealth/space and lack of clutter. But my observation is that some people are just much more inclined not to leave a lot of loose things either on floors or table. I'm pretty sure I could have a house that was twice the size and it would still look very lived in.

Quotes "not working" is because we search for things in quotes that definitely exist (and may even be possible to induce to appear on a search page, by other means) and get "no results, have some trash instead" in response.

It may be true that quotes are working the way we expect, but the data set to which they apply is very obviously restricted before they get a crack at it.

Couldn’t it be said that any of an AI’s “creations” are actually creations made by the creators of the AI, who are simply using it as a tool? Why should the AI be assigned ownership and not the AI’s owner?

Likewise, does a hammer build a house, or its wielder?
I don't agree with the 10k hours bullshit popularized by Gladwell, google a bit about him and you will see he admitted that all his "non-fiction" books were actually insight porn more than teaching you anything useful. I liked his books too until I realized he just made up nice pop-culture stories and pretended to tell you the truth.

That said of course you have to have some level of practice and knowledge about whatever you want to create before you can be inspired to create something new. That doesn't mean you can be creative just because you've had practice. I remember Huberman and others talking about circadian rythms and how people are more creative at night, can't remember the exact reasons, might've been something about cortisol being lower then. I do believe cortisol levels are a hint as usually you are less creative on "uppers" like caffeine or adderall than you are without them because you always want to do things while on them and not actually think deeply about your problem.

Coming from him, that's a surprisingly flawed conflation of "playing" and "believing in".

This is definitely something I have noticed of late. A lot of people are convinced, or at least in their public persona are constantly saying that nothing positive can happen.

I don't think it's any one thing but here are a few ideas I've come up with:

Politics is a big one that can't be ignored. The numbers about the incredibly high levels of political polarization speak for themselves. People have convinced themselves that nothing good can happen when the other party is in power. Post Trump I think that has gotten even worse and people are now openly wishing ill on the whole country so that their party may benefit in the next election.

Related to politics is that a lot of pundits have become very wedded to their positions. Maybe this is just an economics twitter thing but the amount of obsession over what the FED is doing and the dissection of every report isn't healthy. It's hard enough to change your mind (and your trading positions) when things go against you. It's even harder when you are doing it in public and have taken a public position that the sky is always falling.

Moralizing. This is a hard one to describe but basically a lot of the more hard money, milton friedman, perma-bear types, are obsessed with the bill coming due. We sent out a few thousand dollars in stimulus checks to individuals (true), the debt is historically high (true), and now we deserve to have a recession. We deserve the pain, and not only do we deserve it we should welcome it. There is no free lunch!

Finally, though not the last idea but this is already too long... The current situation in the employment market hurts employers the most. The taco bell right down the street from me has had a sign outside for a year advertising starting wages of $17.50 and they still are drive through only because there are not enough employees. The grocery store right across the street from me has been having "on the spot interview" events for more than a year and it is still notably understaffed. The car washing place down the street has had a sign advertising starting wages of $19 an hour for months now. We have had multiple developer and manager positions at my office open for more than a year, but few bites.
Employers absolutely hate this and they have a huge pull in the media/government. They would love to undermine worker power in any way.
Eh, literally anywhere, because if you indeed love to learn, the topic isn't really important. The learning is what matters, and you can learn on any topic.
The estimate would be that their tooling investment is no longer a major competitive advantage, compared to other studios. But, if other studios or new studios switch to their tooling or start using it, then functionally they're subsidizing skilling up animators who they can later hire as contractors or full-time onto their projects.

They're in the movie business after all - speed of production saves a lot of money.
you're still in the SPA. You generally need some sort of painters algorithm to repaint the canvas anyway. When the canvas comes back you would just repaint it from JS memory.

Canvas in particular has issues web devs have to deal with beyond their "normal" duties. Accessibility is simply not even a thing in canvas. Google Docs had to implement an entire parallel invisible DOM structure to emulate what they draw on the canvas when they were switching over to the canvas. And, of course, that DOM structure has to be in sync with canvas.
That’s a wild misuse of language. It’s semantic nonsense to say there’s something you must do but should not do.
Well, in all fairness, it is a powerful way to change the topic while also getting people to sow doubt in a major source of your criticism in the first place, in political contexts.

Plus it comes across as a bit of a juvenile debate tactic, IMO. I certainly became a bit of a "whataboutist" when I was younger and coming to terms of realizing that the U.S. is not "the land of the free" and that they, too, can lie.

But at a certain point you realize that things aren't great but that things elsewhere can be even less great.

And then hearing the same stuff I spouted in that whataboutist phase just kinda makes me want to hit the eject button. It's just going nowhere fast.

Frankly, I consider stuff like that to basically fall under the umbrella of "useful idiot" plays. You don't need to be a jingoistic McCarthy to feel like this kind of aimless undermining of the US government helps keep things like voter turnout and trust low, both of which are easily exploited.

Not that there isn't interesting comparisons to make, but "oh, and like the US follows the rules?" when talking about a country with Skynet and maps claiming disputed territory in this day and age, just feels a little disingenuous.

If you're interested in web dev take a look at FastAPI. In many respects it's a better Flask and leverages schemas for your requests and responses (Pydantic models), async processing and dependency injection. I wouldn't call it advanced but it incorporates features of what some refer to as "modern" Python. As someone who's been using Python for coming up 20 years I learned a lot.
I can concur - the stated position is that GDScript should only be used for non-performance-critical tasks, but even with a hundred objects running a simple script every frame, performance absolutely tanks in 3.x. The performance wall is so easy to hit that GDNative is almost a requirement to get good performance in non-trivial projects.

Yeah, cost of living is a serious issue. We've been under-building housing for nearly 30 years.

Technically, wouldn't mainland China/PRC be the secessionist. The ROC was the legitimate government of China until the civil war and now considers itself a government in exile with the PRC illegally occupying the country.

Of course, the entire situation is vastly more complicated because, you know, the Taiwanese natives have their own ideas. And also the various factions have evolved their stances so I think there are like 4 or 5 different possibilities being tossed around.

> No, HR takes the allegation seriously, does an investigation, and if the facts support the allegation, then ruins the guilty party's life.
> And the allegation was found to be baseless and, instead, was some sort of a ploy - ruins the false accuser's life.

The obvious problem is that HR lacks any oversight, and is not a legal, moral, or investigative authority. They are woefully unsuited to perform an investigation or to enforce punishments. An obvious issue is that they cannot compel testimony; how meaningful is an investigation where the only info they can get is that which is voluntarily provided, and it's perfectly legal to lie to them?

That sword cuts both ways; the insufficiency of the investigation and lack of due process can penalize both legitimate accusers and the guilty party.

We have a whole justice system designed to handle situations like this. They have due process to ensure the fairness of a trial. They can compel testimony, even from third parties if they want to look at text messages or whatever. They have the authority and mandate to hand out punishments.

People refusing to use that justice system, for whatever reason, is not a problem Apple needs to solve. That's a problem society needs to solve. I really don't want to privatize the enforcement of legal issues, lest we bring the Pinkertons back.

That’s a big “if” if I’ve ever seen one. What are your criteria for sentience? Or life, for that matter?
Well, one difference is the US is a lot more beholden to China (PRC) than to Russia. The loss of Russian energy supplies would be far less damaging to the US economy than the loss of Chinese manufacturing, for which there really is not substitute right now. China has more leverage vis a vis the US and the west than Russia does, in other words.

Scroll bars are Web 1.0 garbage.
The zoning/nimby issues are derived from cost/sale price of land being driven ever further up. This is partly due to a spillover from historic levels of wealth inequality but its also due to land untaxing (e.g. prop 13).

Were land made into more of a liability the lobbying to inhibit development to keep land values up (zoning/nimbyism) would end up being pointless and would probably dry up.

Those SF homeowners who want to keep their area "single family homes only to preserve the feel of the area" are simply trying to inhibit development to keep the value of their leveraged investment stable.

Flip the switch to turn land into a financial liability and all that ends along with the land hoarding that has inhibited property development for decades.

It would have to be done nationally, though - and that would mean, among other things, deliberately crashing Bill Gates' agricultural land investments.
Apple is always in a win situation for themselves. They win from cheap labor (China labor, low US prices). They win from large markets (China). They win from keeping unions out of their sweatshops. They win by imposing their large will on dependent suppliers. In what way is Apple NOT winning? There's nothing no-win about this for Apple. they know exactly how to win, whether or not anyone else does.
