The same goes for Google. They have higher market share in many categories and cover many more of them. Near-monopoly on search, ads, online video, email, and at least half of the smartphone OS market...
I don't think it's that black and white.

As you surely understood from my previous comments, in the eyes of many both Trump and Cuomo are simply disqualified men. This is so fundamental that one must stop supporting them and find the next best option within your party, taking any compromises on policy or electoral disadvantages for granted.

For Cuomo this was done swiftly; for Trump there would have been plenty of time since the 2016 election, but it just hasn't happened.

For many this is unforgivable, and I am afraid it is nearly impossible to change such a viewpoint.

The App store fees are pretty atrocious but I fail to see how Apple Silicon is anything but a net positive for the industry.

bottomline, you get progressively closer to speed of light and time slows for you so you can cover larger and larger distance in local frame. problem is finding this 1G drive.
Uncountably many will that differ from you by random degree on uncountably many dimensions. How much like you do they have to be, to actually be you?

Everybody reading this differs from you by only small degree. You differ from yourself-of-yesterday by a typically smaller amount, and -of-last-year by a less-small amount.
What throws me off about even the short description you gave is that your claims are... off.

As a hiring manager, I don't care that you filled a 42U rack - I care about why. What did it accomplish? Did you do it with cost efficiency? What impact did it have on the business? What was the ROI on filling that stack? Why do you feel it is better to have filled a rack than to have scaled in the cloud?

Same with LOC and number of repos. Those simply are not meaningful numbers. I could go put 20K lines of code in 20 repos here in the next hour, that doesn't mean I accomplished anything. Tell us what that code does.

You say you need a larger staff, but you don't say what tasks they would do. What is not getting done? How are you managing to keep things running without staff? What more could you do with more staff, and again... what would the impact be on the business and at what ROI?

In short, if you want to tell a story that sells who you are, you need that story to be about how the business is a better place for your being in it. Less facts, more impact.
A person very close to me is pretty darn senior at The French Laundry.

Arguably the best restaurant in the world for a long time (yes it spawned a whole bunch of other restaurants...)

But I have some pretty intimate knowledge about their business, and let me tell you - even though TFL knows a ton about cooking. Their payment to the employees and whatnot is not so great.

For example, one of the things they do is put "Service is included" on their menus and such, which gives the customer the impression that tip is include.

So imagine serving a table that spends $50,000 (yes this is common) on dinner -- and they dont leave a tip, and the servers are making $12 per hour.

Seriously - this happens all the time.
Using their enormous lead on cellphones and their incredible negotiation power and playing that into mobile business computing and supply chain / process monopoly.
It's not a matter of cost, there's no political desire for a national HVDC grid so that a breeze in Texas might power a toaster in Connecticut - Texas has explicitly refused connecting to the rest of the country for many years.
It's interesting to me that (apparently) we consider organic views to be what the algorithm disseminates, and not what humans share to each other.
Then don’t. There’s a big internet out there.

Apple Silicon is the most exiting thing to happen in the field in decades. Apple handles platform transitions really well so it may seem less of a tectonic shift than it actually is.

It’s normal for people to be enthusiastic amongst such facts.
Looks like you simply gave a favour to privately owned wine importers who's shares you couldn't buy?

My T-18 used them as well, in the ailerons and on the horizontal tail.

Edit: the aluminum variety. That link takes me back to years of EAA membership, and flying my T-18 to the annual Rockford flyin (before they moved to Oskosh)
Sure, but that's an example of measuring something that's happening now. It's not quite in the same category as measuring something that happened 13.7 billion years ago.
I keep wondering, did people always use the word ‘silicon’ when talking about CPUs & SoCs? Somehow I never noticed it before Apple released their ‘Apple Silicon’.

Yikes, here's hoping you mean "after a year" or something, because having to make a fake new thread just to comment on an existing locked thread would make me rage quit
> did the creator come to be..

Time, and causuality, is a construct inside of our universe. Asking who created the creator is like asking which way is down when you are in outer space..
Nope, it's possible to control the notifications to a much better degree than any of the other options allows.

I could see Discord as made for power users where Slack and Teams would be aimed at casuals. But I do think that Discord does a pretty good job at being intuitive.
I was baffled by those Q&As on Amazon, particularly the ones that just said something like “Sorry, I haven’t used that feature” until I received an email from Amazon saying something like “Someone has asked this question about a product you bought, can you answer?”

I did what I assume the product managers expected to happen and just ignored it because I didn’t know, but presumably some significant proportion of people will throw some nonsense answer in, and no one at Amazon then checks the question was answered.
...it's running Linux. It will be supported until the sun dies.

It's also sad that you think I can't play games I own on this. As if I'm going to rip my mint copy of FFVII open when I can play it upscaled. It's just a sad backwards way to think about it.
I own ODROID hardware that I bought 7 years ago that still has official support and maintenance.

Each of the trillion dollar tech companies could be split in half and still be trillion dollar tech companies.

It would be a healthier ecosystem for startups and competitors and make for faster total sector growth.
> I desperately just want a "no cloud kitchens" option

Me too. I'm simply allergic to the whole idea of it. I've actually stopped using online food delivery services to avoid it, and have gone back to just calling the restaurants directly and picking the food up myself.
This is just about the most shallow critique of the article you can make, and it's unfortunate it got so much attention.
Used the N1 for about a year, and while I enjoyed the experience with it as a decent Linux machine, the video acceleration left a sour taste, especially the atrociously basic kplayer which is the only video player that had it.
Maybe we'll need co-processors in the future again?

Although when you think about it, TPUs / VPUs etc. being pluggable to a PCIe slot is mostly getting us there?
People think about space travel exactly in the same terms as the History of European Colonialism. Like exactly. Every first contact movie "take me to your leader" is right out of the letters to the king written by Hernán Cortez and Francisco Pizarro, looting the Aztec and by far the most gigantic, the Kechwa fortune after taking the Inca hostage. That's like 200 years of Chile's current gold production, and this is a mining country with modern technology to the point it exports eg explosives for mining. Just an insane amount of gold whose accounting was not possible to do correctly. Like doing the accounting of a casino from the movie Casino. Gold like it was iron ingots. Fucking stupid stupid amounts of wealth, all for going overseas.

So people think, OK, who plays the Europeans? Some movies say Earthlings do, other movies say aliens do. Either way, plunder and pillage. Like one movie, very enlightened, said the aliens just wanted our gold. That's wantable. But like think of it in terms of apes, like a primatologist. Aliens would be going somewhere with shit technology right? Well the real reason would be to get our nice biosphere, before we wreck it long-term ourselves. That they could want. So, for a rough handle for alien's interest in humans, look at primatology or study of cetaceans. Yeah we spend trillions on space travels, rockets, telescopes. I doubt we've even spent a billion on primatology. Cetaceans I think has cost more than a billion. There's just way more money and brains in whales than apes.

I think space colonization will be similar to European Colonialism but only for the Solar System. After that, it sucks. And it doesn't stop sucking for at least 700 light-years.
I didn't know about the last option! They didn't exactly notify us about the option...

I have now selected it, thanks!
> When the arguments on all sides are fully aired, the group is most likely to come to a wise decision.

This assumes both sides are acting in good faith and share some common goals. If one side has (say) convinced itself that the the other side is evil and duplicitous then this no longer works because 1) everything the other side says is viewed through the lens of evil and duplicity and 2) this evil and duplicity needs to be combated by any means necessary, up to and including presenting arguments that the first side knows are wrong but which it believes in good faith could allow it to prevail against evil and duplicity.

And then there is the meta problem, which is that as soon as one side falls into this hole it typically drags the other side down with it.
Vector Space Biosciences is hiring Backend Engineer and UX Engineer!
Is there any evidence of that actually happening?

To me the simplest explanation is Hunter Biden was selling the perception of proximity to Joe Biden. Which is skeevy but IMO doesn’t reflect on Joe Biden as anything except a shitty father.
You're probably missing thermal mass in the house. Comes with bio-sourced insulating material, but usually not with rock/glass whool or polystyrene & the like.
Modern Alternatives to BEM
It's an ARM SoC, those can't run vanilla Linux images and require someone, usually manufacturers or enthusiasts, to maintain SoC-specific Linux builds for the boards.
I can very well imagine that Apple will offer this service only for the Pro models for the time being. Apple has been trying to differentiate the expensive Pro models from the normal iPhones for some time now. And perhaps you only get if for free with iCloud+
Exactly. I hate Apple with a passion.

EDIT: F this downvoting, people seem to not get the obvious fruit pun.
YouTube premium is perfect, just waaay over-priced. I usually sign up for a month when I’m traveling and want to download stuff locally, but I otherwise cancel the subscription as I don’t think the ability to download is worth $16/month
Right, but the point of the article is that it would be expensive to do that. VHDL, although not difficult to learn is a specialized skill that many technical people do not have. It’s very dissimilar to something like CPP for that reason. You can build a team to do it, but the market is smaller. Then you have FPGAs themselves, which are expensive chips, then you have tool chains, which are proprietary and closed down. This does not help costs and it does not help security.

Then you need to attach the fpga to peripherals, like the display, so you need to build a board, solder components to it.

There’s a lot of supply chain complexity in building a simple device. That’s the point, and that’s why we don’t see it.
Perhaps, if there is a God, he does not desire us to learn about him by knowledge or by science, but by love for him and seeking him out.

For who is man to say, that man must only learn about God through objectively verifiable facts, because man said so? Perhaps this God wants seeking. If we were born without eyes, color would still exist, but we would never perceive it, and how would we believe it if someone said it did exist?

I'm afraid Europe bought a one-way ticket. Dependence on Russian energy is no longer a hypothetical issue, but a demonstrated concern. Freezing is not great, but giving the thermostat back to Putin is worse.
at 13M ops/s I could care less, this is not something that will be called that often in any real application

the size difference is negligible as well, and the only reason it is there is because you turned it into a function. Don't use the function at all, just use builtin array operations inline...

my code doesn't need tests, types, or docs because it is builtin and known to work

the point is that we have another, unnecessary npm dependency

>verbs of motion analysed as transitive just because they can take を

I think it's fine to call 移動動詞 transitive because they take a direct object. The reason why a lot of people call them intransitive is because they are 自動詞. It's appealing to want to be able to interchange transitive / intransitive and 他動詞 / 自動詞.

>that's nowhere near a "complete introduction"

I agree. There wasn't anything complete other than defining what a particle is. The article didn't even define a single particle that is classified as a 終助詞 (か, よ, な, ね, ...) despite even using them in the example sentences.

Edit:

>"genitive case"... in a language that doesn't have cases, also it's not like the article is at least consistent in calling を an "accusative case" marker

格助詞 is in JMDict as "case-marking particle (e.g. "ga", "no", "wo", "ni")." I can't be bothered to look up what cases actually are and verify this since I find applying western linguistics to Japanese to not be very useful.
Soma drinkers, lotus eaters, born-again mushroom enthusiasts.. We know how the universe began, trillions of different ways. Creativity and imagination are as much part of fundamental physics as quarks and entropy.
In the USA we have sport-utes, which was the original term for SUVs. Don’t know why that was forgotten and replaced with MORE syllables, but there you go.

Now we have no small trucks, and a continued parade of bloated, impractical junk that manufacturers are pushing as “small.” The new Ford Ranger and Chevy Colorado stand out as regressions from their former incarnations, and the Maverick is another joke. They all force giant four-door cabs and puny beds on all buyers.

Thus they lack the usefulness of a proper truck, and the safety of the “utes” you describe.
This is just a big bag of bad logic. It's going from their may be other factors beyond our present understanding of physics to their must be a being with volition. It's like seeing the massive complexity of a hurricane and from that deducing that Zeus must exist and demands a goat on a certain Thursday every year to avoid him blowing your crops away.

There is every reason to believe our present theories are presently insufficient because this is a very hard topic and no reason to believe that the universe is caused by something immaterial or timeless much less something with volition and purpose. There are multiple theories that you could read about if you wish that require neither cause nor volition.
The Big Bang theory is still very much the de facto theory. The JWST findings while interesting are just one data point and they'll be further investigated. But it's way too early to say that BBT is dead.

Scientists are constantly finding better theories for explaining things and I think the population in general understands and accepts that.
No comment on the other stuff, but the “silicon” part of this argument boils down to “anyone who makes something way better than the competition must be shut down because that’s unfair”.

We’d still be in the Stone Age if everybody had that mentality
More people do get it from multiple infections but it is still a minority and it seems to be the same genetic predispositions. I have hEDS which comes with ME/CFS, probably the best way to explain it is that it feels like burnout that doesn’t go away.

LongCovid has become an overloaded term with multiple PASC and acute organ damage being added. That’s slowly being fixed with PEM being the defining characteristic. Basically if you exercise as hard as you can a normal person can repeat in two days, a LongCovid/ME/CFS person cannot get close.
Correction, about 175 times further away.

I was also disappointed it didn't work.
Well, first of all these gravitational wave-creating events happened billions of light years away and thus are already a way to view the universe billions of years ago. Going back and looking even further into the past is just an example of what seems impossible to us right now. But in the grand scheme of things, we have no clue what's possible as evidenced by the history of physics. On top of that, there are actually pathways towards understanding things like string theory or the big bang. Einstein by comparison was not disingenuous when he made that statement, since the theoretical and experimental work didn't even show a possible path to imagine the future. Of course that doesn't mean that these other things will pan out in the future (e.g. stuff like astronomically-sized colliders or mathematical bottom-up/top-down proof approaches), but saying that anything we do today definitely won't ever work out, no matter what, is either incredibly naive, misinformed or outright slanderous towards these areas of research.
Cosign, and thank you: any CPU discussion past "Apple ARM great" has been impossible to have since launch.

List of places I tried taking conversation over that time, but it was ignored or read as complaints about Apple. (see Disclaimers in footer if you read these and think 'Wow, he just wanted to talk about why Apple was bad')

- M1 was the first processor on a particular node; so there was a short term opportunity to do an apples to apples comparison by taking down M1 numbers and waiting for upcoming launches

- it wasn't as trivial as "manufacturing on the improved node" for AMD, but it was for Qualcomm

- performance of ARM vs. X86 could be teased out by tracking tuple of node x manufactor of chips and being patient; projections and tracking of Qualcomm & AMD chips performance

- the initial M1 was beaten by Tiger Lake in desktop & sustained performance cases, which was two(!) nodes behind

- performance and noise issues from Apple optimizing for absolute fan silence always, leading to them only kicking on at extremely high speeds far into the performance workload, that had already been throttled

== DISCLAIMERS ==

1. I am a happy M2 MBP owner and think its the best chip.

2. My more nuanced view, summarized is that it is almost restrained in that the hardware got bigger, somehow, and in software there are growing pains as drivers adopt from iPhone use case to mostly-plugged-in use case. To wit, throttling seems optimized for ad copy around fan noise at low workloads than the user.

3. If you feel these discussions were focused on denigrating Apple, please recommend curious thoughts to have about chips that aren't denigrating Apple
I didn't know Zulip or what they did prior to reading this, so I guess it's also contextual. I understand why they would advertize that they didn't change their plan even though Slack did and they are indeed free to post whatever they want on their corporate blog. I would just take it with a grain of salt given the underlying interests.
"NULL only has one meaning: NULL. This is roughly analogous to unknown."

From the re-published version of "Much ado about nothing, part 2" (re-published in "Database Dreaming, Vol II) :

"An outer join produces nulls because we ask the DBMS to show us data from one table even when no matching data can be found in another table. Such nulls have no meaning, no semantic content."

Personally I'd add to that : and even if it's the case that they do, that meaning is patently not "simply unknown" but rather a very clear indication of non-existence.

But I have no doubt the apologists will obviously always apologize no matter what and handwave arguments such as these away with "So what ? What's the difference." Well, it's the difference between knowing of non-existence and not knowing at all.
You are confused about what the Overton window describes. It's not "picking and choosing what to talk about due to limited airtime". Look it up.
Thanks for pointing that out, we just shipped the docs "playground" system and it appears there's a few bugs — you'll need to use something like cURL in the meantime.

Algorithmic amplification is an entirely different kind of distribution dynamic that isn't covered by your analysis. Algorithmic amplification is inherently non-neutral, so AA is already biasing distribution. Neutrality towards some content is to not algorithmically amplify it. At best you can say Facebook was neutral towards this story. But that doesn't have the same ring to it.

Do they have a duty to be neutral with the application of their algorithm? Obviously not: such an algorithm must discriminate on content in some manner. There is no such thing as "neutral amplification" in this context. Do they have a moral duty to not consider political content in the application of their algorithm? Obviously not, as a private company they are free to bias their algorithm in whatever manner they see fit.

Can we presume there is some kind of social contract that should constrain the manner in which they bias their amplification? Perhaps one could argue for this. But this social contract does not extend to foreign actors attempting to sway an election. If Facebook had reason to believe that this story was a part of an intelligence operation--and they did given the FBI warning--being neutral towards this story is not breaking any social contract. Facebook has no duty to allow their product to be the vehicle of a foreign psyops campaign (or a local one for that matter).
Genetic Study of Ancient Eurasians Reveals Thousands of Years of History
Potatoes are a lot more nutritious than rice though. Plus being easier to grow and in far more places. You also have to include things like maize, sweet potato, squash, etc.
Consumers believe what we tell them to believe.
Yes, of course there are no cheaper alternatives to turn to. The European electricity market is dominated by a small number of giants which essentially have no competition and does not compete with each other. It's not different from the housing market. Housing isn't freakishly expensive because it has become too expensive to build houses. It is because those who control the market have figured out how to screw over people who need a home to live in (which is almost everyone).

It was the European Commission that designed the integrated electricity market because it was believed that a free market would guarantee low electricity prices for everyone. It seems very naive to believe that this system will function better in the future. For the energy giants it is more profitable to limit supply and jack up prices than to build more capacity.
