I think the move to Intel was critical for the revival of the Mac because it gave Windows users an off-ramp if they wanted to try out the Mac hardware without going all-in with OSX. Boot Camp made it safe for Windows users to switch, and many did.

It got me to buy my first Mac, at least (iMac). I figured if OSX didn’t work out I could just run Windows on it.

Maybe ironically, the new ARM Macs make me a little hesitant to buy a new MacBook because I’d be pretty much locked in to OSX (with all due respect to the Asahi folks who are doing great work - I fear Apple is going to pull the rug out from under them though.)
It's not so much the font as it is the lack of separators for me. There's no lines or anything separating one article from the rest, and when I click continue reading it takes me to the heading of that article in the page for that day rather than a separate page for the article. These two things are specifically what bother me.
No, it's like going after IG Farben for supplying Zyklon B.
You can directly attach SQLite databases into an Oracle instance via dg4odbc. At this point, you have a much more expansive SQL dialect that you can use to query your data (I've never tried this in the XE edition, and when it works it can be somewhat brittle and quick to throw errors).

Granted, most databases can do this. However, if you are specifically interested in SQL/PSM, you really can't do better than Oracle.

Fyi, Microsoft/Sybase do not implement SQL/PSM at all; they use Transact-SQL. I've read that IBM db2 is the best implementation outside Oracle, but EnterpriseDB is likely identical.

IBM db2 udb for Unix/Windows happens to have a community edition.

That's entirely up to you. It's your company. Startup life in general is probably going to be busier than working a corporate job, but the answer is: whatever the company needs. Sometimes that will be 80 hour weeks, and sometimes you can do 40 or take a vacation (which you should do from time-to-time anyways).

In my opinion, you should do everything you can to maximize your valuable time during the YC batch, so it'd make sense to work harder then. But even a startup is not everything in your life. If you have a family and kids, those need time also.

Although the laptops are thin, I think it’d be possible to use less glue when setting the internal parts and to use screws that have heads that provide more grip to screwdrivers.

Apple could also provide affordable batteries for sale in the event that a person wants a 3rd party professional to replace them.

Id claim that this was somewhat of a turning point when computers started becoming more disposable and that competing companies followed suit. At the time I owned a flat phone with replaceable battery.
See e.g. the British transition from Julian to Gregorian calendars, in which eleven days of September 1752 were not observed in England:

I wonder if that's a consequence of the "gig economy" working in the wrong direction. Perhaps the relationship should be between the delivery service "gig fleet" and the restaurants themselves. The ratings and feedback information would actually be more useful and would allow different restaurants to post different contract rates through the service based upon these ratings.

That would actually provide a service that doesn't dilute their brand. As it is, these restaurants have just found a way to counter this negative outcome by diluting this third party marketplace itself.
While it is cool and useful, it is unsound.

People have been noticing this a lot recently but what nobody seems to know is that this is a form of money laundering/“scamming.” I know because I used to be active on crime forums and talked to some of the people who engineered this scheme.

People will set up fake Spotify artist accounts with stolen identities and bank accounts, pay a musician for songs that pass as music, and then bot millions of streams on them. At this point there are so many of these fake profiles and songs that the music, which is simple “mood music” normally (which happens to be easy to make), is appearing on real playlists and being recommended to real listeners.
Bad phrasing. The "right" is that of generally being able to seek publishing, not publishing with any one specific publisher.
That's exactly what I mean, its the service that is getting sanctioned. The people that "knew and didn't do enough to stop it" will be arrested.

We're talking about whether Putin's character was something a country like Germany could bank its energy policy on starting in the 2010s. That's not a question of international law, of US policy in 1999, or US actions in Iraq.

Chechnya was evidence of what he's willing to do for political gain. Georgia was evidence of territorial ambition. Assassinations in UK and Europe showed us he saw those countries as no different than any other. Yet western leaders spent years trying to convince themselves and their people that Russia could be trusted as a partner.

I agree that there was little to nothing anyone could do about Chechnya, but that doesn't mean we couldn't learn from it.

This is incorrect, but it's principally incorrect because we all abuse the artist field to contain composer information. This is done, I surmise, because figuring out when to display the composer information (performances of composed works) and when not to (bands) is too hard while delivering consistent UX.

While we know that the current chips are ARM-based, Apple is very deliberately calling it "Apple Silicon," perhaps to avoid committing to any particular ISA. An interesting question is how far Apple Silicon will diverge from ARM64. We know there are extensions like AMX already.

The last few percentage points of performance take an insane amount of power. If you gave up 10% perf you'd probably halve power consumption.

I don't think there's any reason X86 has to use more power than ARM - it's simply not the focus of most implementations, however. As I understand it, most processors at this point are an interpreter on top of a bespoke core. Intel used to get quite a lot of praise for low power consumption back in 2012-2015 with Ivy Bridge and so on - rather coincidentally, that was also when they had a process advantage (rather like AMD and Apple today enjoy).
> But even in 2005, Intel wasn't necessarily good - they just happened to be the least bad right then.

I don't think it's a coincidence that Intel Macs coincided with the release of Core/Core 2 Duo cpus. At the time there was nothing close to them by any metric. Remember Intel enjoyed a generational lead in foundry tech for decades.

Yes, but how are adult toy sellers "high risk"?
I mean, technically what's going on is that satellites move at relativistic speed.

"Relativistic speed" doesn't mean some particular speed, like 0.1c or something, it just means any speed where your measurements don't make sense without accounting for relativity, if your measurements were good enough this just doesn't have to be that fast really.

However, do you remember simple school spring balance experiments which show Newtonian mechanics? Greg Egan's "Incandescence" is a novel about some people who live somewhere where those type of experiments need relativity to explain them, so, when they develop physics they go from "I dunno, it just always does that" straight to relativity because Newtonian mechanics don't explain what they already know about the world.
Yes, executive dysfunction makes it more difficult. But it's really not out of the realm of possibility that a person with ADHD can eat a side of salad and go for a jog. Or would you disagree with that? There are extreme cases but we're clearly not dealing with that here.

Furthermore, at least we I live (and I hear even more so in the US), it's well known that psychiatrists readily hand out stimulant medication with zero therapy. They give you a questionnaire (which is easy to bluff), and if you answer yes to enough they'll hand you a prescription. They don't ask about your diet, sleep, exercise, etc.

I'm not doubting the effectiveness of stimulant medication. As I said, I take them! But let's not pretend there are zero side-effects, and that it's not a big decision to make.

Particularly when oftentimes it's lifestyle choices that are the main driver of OP's symptoms. It seems pretty reasonable to me to suggest taking a look at those first, before rushing to stimulants. Is that wrong?

I'd also like to reiterate my advice to seek therapy, as if you are struggling they can give excellent, tailored advice for dealing with many of these issues.

And once again - I'm not against stimulants. I'm just suggesting a reasonable amount of caution before seeking them out. I'd say that's pretty sensible?

> even a nominal fee of a few dollars a month would preclude most of the third world from accessing the best index of humanity's collective knowledge

So you seem to be referring to Google (annual revenue ~$250 billion.)

But Wikipedia (annual revenue $160 million) also qualifies.

Also The Library of Congress (annual budget $800 million.)

Another interesting data point is the USPS $77 billion annual revenue.

So there are definitely proven business models that provide services basically at-cost and without all the negative externalities. And Wikipedia's budget is so small that even relatively poor countries could fund it with less than 1/5th of their education budget. (e.g. Uganda's education budget in 2020 was roughly $700 million.) And that would let them pay globally competitive salaries to hire software engineers to build indexes that are actually optimized first and foremost for knowledge that's focused on their culture rather than the US.
Yeah no. Pakistan has always used terror as a weapon, in various ways, from the moment it was split from India.

Headway was designed more for consumer use-cases than anything else. There's been some talk of adding the ability to customize it in the future but I don't have time for that because I need to focus on the basics first. You could fork it though, or just use some of the data automation (respecting the Apache 2.0 license). I replied to a child comment here but my recommendations for geocoding would be Pelias or Photon, and I like maplibre-gl-js. You can (should!) use planetiler for generating your mbtiles files and I've had generally good experiences with tileserver-gl-light, but many people recommend using PMTiles instead. It kind of just depends what your requirements are. For privacy-first stuff like Headway I can't require that people make requests out to S3 or Cloudflare, it has to be self-hostable which means a traditional tileserver is the only way to go.
Also, it was until 2015 where Intel was on a great streak with their processors and didn't show signs of stagnation until around 2017/2018

Honest question, why does it have “legitimate educational use”? For me that’s not a given. You could teach how to build a bomb or how to cook meth. I’m sure there are a lot of students who would benefit from that kind of knowledge and would use it for good. I’m also sure that we would have a bunch of Walter White wanna bes. How is this different?
It was mandated in response to the Firestone scandal/disaster. Over 200 people died because Ford intentionally under-inflated Firestone tires on the Explorer. Also, the tires weren’t very good in the first place.

I guess it got everyone thinking about how dangerous under-inflated tires are on the highway. My guess (and it is a guess) is that radial-velocity pressure estimation wouldn’t have been precise enough and would have either tolerated dangerous under inflation or annoyed with false-positives.
do you need to store them away from the vehicle when you park? i could imagine parking a car next to your stacked up winter tires in a garage would cause issues
I can see the difficulty of integrating with Anki if you're trying to implement a sophisticated system for tracking a user's progress, however I would definitely want some way of studying vocabulary with spaced-repetition flashcards I could have on my phone for something like this, Anki or otherwise. I've personally found traditional flashcards and (even more so) writing words with pen on paper to be the most effective ways of absorbing vocabulary. I've found that I don't ultimately absorb vocab as well using other self-quiz methods like multiple-choice / fill-in-the-blank / matching / etc. in Duolingo and similar apps (though I've had the false impression of learning from these methods). Just my personal experience.

It seems we're on the same page regarding specific word-meanings, comprehensive linguistic information provided along with a word, and using good dictionaries.

I would suggest including at least the option of viewing the full conjugation / declension / etc. associated with a word, and not just that used in the context of the text. I don't know any Japanese (though I recognize the example character you provided from the little Chinese I've studied), but something like this full conjugation of that verb is roughly what I'd want to see for any conjugated/declined language: http://www.japaneseverbconjugator.com/VerbDetails.asp?txtVer....

I understand parsing and matching up parallel texts is difficult, but I thought NLP would help with that, and if the software fails at matching up individual words, you could default to matching up clauses or sentences, which the user could study (with flashcards or something similar) alongside the individual words taken from the dictionary.

I took a look at the app, but I see the currently-available demo is only English-Japanese, and I'm also consistently getting "API Error: Request failed with status code 412" in multiple browsers.

Exactly what parts of the app are you looking for someone else to work on?
Streisanding Khan is to me an extremely bad way of putting this.
What? Hotel restaurants have always convincingly appeared to people as 20 different restaurants while operating at the same physical location? A place serving a lot of different types of food is not the same thing, it's still one restaurant and they're not making any effort to hide that from the hotel guests.

The multitudes of different places at Disneyworld that all operate out of the same massive underground/hidden kitchen complex might be a better example.

While not without caveats, but I started experimenting this, and it is quite useful.

I am a systems programmer with very little experience writing html, but I have written some very basic frontends for a blog and a startup website. What real web developers can do with the tooling they have is amazing. There is a gigantic mountain of abstractions here, and they almost feel arbitrary, but when you read about them, you learn that each absurdly general tool was put into a standard or a framework to do a specific thing.

To me, web development feels about the same as the time I made a processor in minecraft: you have so many weird and arbitrary constraints placed on you by the framework of HTML + CSS (let alone adding a JS framework), and then on top of that you have n + 1 different tools and methodologies to do the same thing, each of which has subtle tradeoffs. It amazes me that anyone can actually develop code in that environment!
Why is this considered suitable material for The New York Times? If e.g. PricewaterhouseCoopers told their auditors they were only getting half their annual bonus because of the slowing economy, nobody outside maybe a trade publication would care.

Here is an analysis of the playlist:

Interesting to notice that even when there are only little variations on the same song, the analysis (which is powered by the Spotify API) shows very different indicators for each of the songs in danceability, accousticness, valence, etc. This makes rather unexpected that all those songs could come together in a recomendation system.

Yes, there will be some mild violence underground if the cable fails. Probably more because of the liquid nitrogen than the electricity itself. Electricity stops almost instantly, as superconductors tend to be very bad conductors above their operational temperature.

If that happens, you pull the cable out, and fix the broken part (probably replacing some of the cable). You may need to patch some pavement too, if the cable is superficial.

Assuming you have 100K, just pay 500 a month would clear it even if interest is at 5% after 36 years. Interest is fixed for student loan so it wont go up and down like current fed rates. And that is extreme. Most have loan around 30K which can pay down in 6 years at 500 per month. Most students coming out to work can easily earn 2K a month. But nearly all has no discipline. They need netflix. They need clubbing. The need vacations. They need broadband. They need the latest iPhone Samsung. Just suffer like a monk for 5 years. Eat like a monk. No sex. No clubbing. Every dollar earned is used to pay down the debt. Dont rent expensive. Rent as cheap as possible. Even if you work in Walmart for 5 years you can pay it off. Most students cant because they prioritize life indulgences over debt. And now we must reward them by paying off their debt because they cant.

> Except Georgists determine your unimproved land value by looking at the improved land value of everyone around you.

How, exactly, do you get from improved land value to unimproved land value?

It's arguably possible to approximate the value of a hotel+land across the street from Disneyland. How, exactly, do you determine what fraction is hotel (improvements) and what fraction is land?

Looking at other hotels in the area just tells you (an approximation of) the difference between the hotel values. That's not enough to determine the absolute value of any hotel.
