>Best I could do a month ago was a stick figure in MS Paint

You're forgetting (or not knowinng?) NVIDIA Canvas that came out one year ago, give or take. Literally turns stick figure complexity drawing into photorealistic stuff.
This is a very bad take IMO.

The artist definition of stealing (say for a painter) isn't literally moving your brush the exact same way that somebody else did. Stealing refers to the concepts. Someone could look at how, say, Vincent van Gogh painted and steal some of his techniques, his style. And combine that with their own experience, making something unique and beautiful.

In the context of computer programming, that definition of stealing refers to, again, concepts and techniques. Maybe I saw someone else write a piece of functionality in a certain way and thought it's neat, so I stole it. But I don't literally go through her code and copy-paste everything. I learn from her technique and adapt it to my own style, possibly making something new by combining it with what I already know.

Arm's claim is that Nuvia's license was specifically for designing a CPU to be sold as a datacenter server CPU and the license fees have been calculated accordingly.

Each Arm ALA (Architecture License Agreement) grants the licensee only the right to design CPUs for a specific purpose.

If the licensee has a license for a server CPU and it attempts to sell the designed CPU as a laptop CPU, Arm claims that the original license is terminated and everything designed under that license must be destroyed, unless a new license is negotiated with Arm, allowing the licensee to design and sell laptop CPUs.

In the filing, Arm says: "Qualcomm’s Arm licenses do not cover products based on or incorporating Arm-based technologies developed by third parties under different Arm licenses, such as the now-terminated Nuvia licenses".

According to their website, this is the bio of the Exhibition Judge 2022 (they only show one judge but maybe there are more?): "Dagny McKinley is the Executive Director of the Colorado New Play Festival. Prior to that, she served for four years as Director of Development and Communications for Steamboat Creates. She is an author and photographer with five books to her credit. Her photography has been published across the United States. She earned an MFA in Creative Writing from Naropa University. Dagny currently serves on the Mineral Springs of Steamboat Springs Protection Committee with the Tread of Pioneers Museum, is on the Colorado Business Committee for the Arts advocacy committee, and is determined to see a performing art center in Steamboat Springs come to fruition. Dagny believes that anything can happen when you believe the impossible is possible."

> I'd be lucky if my windows laptop crosses the 4 year threshold without an issue.

Just one of my Apple laptops stayed fully functional after 4 years and it was the single non-"Pro" laptop: MacBook Air 2012, bought in a rush (so store-spec'd with 4GB RAM). And after 10 years it's still the most useful Apple laptop I possess and RAM size is its biggest issue.

I found that not expecting more than 2 years of lifetime from a laptop (any laptop) is the most reasonable and healthy approach for me nowadays. And I respect that you may have other view on the matter.

> Of course you can't but a brand new $500 Apple laptop, but for < $1000 you'd be hard pressed to find a better laptop than the M1 Air.

We may have different approach to what's "better". Specs? You're probably right regarding some (and majority thereof) usecases. Usability? Different thing. I expect my computer not to break and I expect my operating system not to change things that work over night. Not a case with Cook's Apple's hardware nor software in my experience.

> > the new hardware has quality of Chinese toys.

> I'm assuming you're being hyperbolic here but it kinda makes your whole response sound ridiculous

I'm talking about the utter trash made by Ivy&Cook in 2017, called MacBook Pro. This was the purchase which made want to stay away from Apple's computers and this feeling is strong 5 years later (see? Cook is influential after all).

Until Linux is reasonably stable and useful (I'm not even waiting for "fully functional") on M1/M2, I'll stay away from these to avoid ads and other marvels coming to the garbage called macOS which replaced OS X.

I don't despise Apple as a whole. Just the current state of Apple under the leadership of unimaginative pencil pusher Tim Cook.

You should look into the US's use of white phosphorus in Fallujah. It was pretty rough going there for a few years.
I am sure I experience synesthesia as I have associated shapes and images in my head associated with numbers, letters, words, basically anything that relates to language. These associations mostly appear to be things I experienced at the same time learning a word or an early association. Some are almost geometric colorful shapes, not solid colored but a rainbow gradient, and may move or be animated like a bursting color orb. Some are motion oriented and I cant describe them. It's almost as if the word is invisibly dancing in my mind with a shape I cannot see.

A silly example I have is the word shit. When I was a child curse words were not spoken at home but at my fathers shop were regular experiences. I was maybe 3 or 4 when an employee of my fathers was using some kind of wooden square frame with a lever on top and spring. It was some kind of press to stamp logos or something. I was playing on a portable staircase nearby when he squeezed the lever and then yelled "SHIT!". So now when I hear shit I see a vague image of this mans face and/or a square frame with a lever being pushed. If I think about the word I see my fathers early shop and remember that portable staircase.

The word fuck has a very odd animation in my head. I see what is a squarish human skull being held by the jaw and flipped upward 90 degrees by flicking the wrist holding it.
Being data-driven for the sake is being data-driven is indeed becoming an issue. The resources spent measuring and analysing data are overwhelmingly larger than they should in most cases. Cohorts of "data scientists" and "managers" dive head on into data without much (if any!) first-principles thinking. People tend to replicate metrics without much thought into their relevance to the specific situation. Thinking properly is a very hard skill to acquire (the hardest?), and most do everything they can to avoid it.

>at the very least, traditional religion is a stable belief system that won't destroy your life.

That might be true in liberal western democracies, but there are many parts of the world where your particular choice of religion may well destroy your life or straight up get you killed, if the people behind the next coup don't share your beliefs. Even in the west you might hinder your own success if you pick a non-majority system.
It's primarily because it wasn't launched with much support for non-apple systems and it is considered hard for many in the PLT domain to get changes in for support on alternative systems. It's improved somewhat in recent times but the launch very much stifled it's usage anywhere but on Apple systems so they are a little behind.

That shouldn't necessarily stop you from exploring it though. Maybe you can help boost it outside of the Apple ecosystem.
I think it’s a bit of a dodge to say ‘the US followed the rules!’ when the entire premise for the Iraq war was willfully fabricated.
These are state laws. Alabama, for example, does not share enemies with Israel nor is it involved in any geopolitics. So it's extremely unusual to have such laws even in one state and in this case there are dozens of such states. Do you know of any other state laws concerning other US allies, say KSA?
Not making any judgements on right or wrong but having a political view and expressing/promoting/pushing it at work are different things.

> art has been pushed towards things that are "simpler" in all areas

This can't be true for still images. Not only the quantity of art being produced by digital means but the variation and quality has exploded since the democratization of digital painting. Certain styles are in vogue but there are countless examples of wild experimentation. Technical ability also seems greatly enhanced by these tools. Add to that all of the forms that weren't even possible 30 years ago and I strongly doubt we are in any way losing variety or quality in art. Maybe the sheer quantity is the problem, it's harder to find the really great art amongst the ever expanding ocean of generic art.
Left unanswered: Did they hang a copy on the IoT fridge?
TL;DR

YKK makes incredibly dependable zippers, ships them on time without fail, offers a wide range of colors, materials, and styles, and never gets badly undercut on price. The feeling in the apparel industry is that you can’t go wrong with YKK.
They have an incredibly strong incentive which is to buy as many 28nm lithography machines as possible before the US forces ASML not to sell those as well! So they wanted to keep 7nm production secret for as long as possible, because the US operated on the incorrect assumption that blocking EUV sales was enough to stop SMIC from moving forwards.

If you look at the SMIC earnings report, you'll notice they added a new category called "28nm or less". That's their way of telling investors they have a money factory without telling the US to sanction them even more! Also, a very large part of SMIC >32% is owned by the Chinese state, and their profits have been skyrocketing in recent years.

> It's not just gmail that does this, dots are almost always ignored before the @.

That's not my experience. Which non-gmail email software ignores dots before the @?

Thinking about this, I guess the sending MTA doesn't care about dots; it goes RCPT TO: <address.with.dots@example.com>. The receiving MTA then has to validate that address; it does that using some account database that isn't typically part of the MTA - it could be a unix account (no dots!), a database table, or an LDAP user. Finally it passes the mail off to a delivery agent, which hopefully relies on the same account database.

So the elision of dots appears to be a feature of certain account databases. So which account databases elide dots?
Is any amount of regulation too much? If so, how do you tell when it's too much?
Apparently having approval be a requirement is standard for ARM ISA licenses, it would probably not seem strange to them. Besides, Nuvia would have been their own company at the time of signing this contract.

Could be for a number of reasons: Nuvia got the license because it was small, maybe slightly favorable terms that Qualcomm may want to subsume. Could be that ARM doesn't want to set a precedent of not enforcing assignment. Maybe they want something from Qualcomm and this is an excuse to get them to negotiate.

Confusing framing for casual readers not in the field.

But even a casual might wonder, if matrices are still The Way and tensors the underestimated and unsung challenger, why is the framework called TensorFlow and not MatrixFlow? (There’s also a TensorFlow Graphics since 2019, that’s not heretical either.)

Perhaps the journalist shouldn’t have framed this as a present tense “fifth dentist” scenario, but should have set the evangelism a decade ago and mentioned she achieved her goal as tensors are well accepted across the field, where she’s worked with many leaders:

Anandkumar certainly knows, so presumably journalist’s mis-framing for a “hook” and click-bait headline.
Doing magic with the internal string format was considered by the .net team and rejected.

There are multiple operations that right now are O(1) no-allocation, that would become sometimes O(n) allocating if they did that sort of magic.

This includes: PINVOKEing windows APIs that are expecting WCHARS, converting a string to a ReadOnlySpan<char>, and using `unsafe` to pin a string and access its contents as a `char*`.

Making code that users may have been relying on being O(1) and non-allocating into possibly O(n) and allocating was deemed too disruptive.

Plus because strings store their contents within themselves, the on-demand conversion of a string to UTF-16 would require allocating a new object, and updating all pointers to the old object to refer to the new one. Which currently is an operation only done by the garbage collector. If expanding the string on-demand required running a full garbage collection to handle this... yeah, going from O(1) non-allocating, to o(n)+Full Garbage Collection is a total non-starter.

I think Java on the other hand did not expose very many places where a string could be observed to be a utf-16 character array under the hood (perhaps only as part of JNI marshaling?) making the ascii-only string optimization more feasible. Javascript never made the strings internal encoding visible, simply requiring that the indexer be able to return a UTF-16 value in O(1), so the ASCII optimization is simple there.

I thought bitcoin was incredible un that it allowed anonymous transactions. That turned out to be false. Well it is anonymous, but you still need on and off ramps for crypto to fiat and fiat to crypto which is basically impossible to get because somewhere you need a bank account to transfer the money that has your name on it. Not enough vendors accept bitcoin where you can survive within the ecosystem without converting back to cash, and typically losing a large percentage of your money in the process. I think there are a few tokens that at least have anonymized transactions, like Tornado, but again you can’t get money out still, and it might be illegal to use those cryptos. Basically the use case is dead in my eyes. Sure darknet is still a thing because they are doing illegal things already and don’t care about the on and off ramps being legal either, so it works, but if the potential to go mainstream disappears then bitcoins price could drop to practically nothing again as well.
