Have you read "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism"? I would say that your observations - tho they frustrate you - are very much inline with what the book proposes.

In short, and paraphrased a bit to speak to your context, you're no longer buying impressions / clicks in the traditional transactional sense. Instead you're buying the influence on behavior within the broader context of what these networks know about the individuals within a market, but also what other influence these networks have accrued on the individuals.

It's a blackbox be because it's no longer a simple transaction, but also because the AI (?) is in a broader sense exerting proactive influences. Nudges on behavior that add up and ideally can not only be predicted but also created.

The book is long and deep, but it will also change how you view the world and Big Tech.

Those are not the only two options available. A locally produced yogurt would cost more than in Costco, but not that much more. Maybe $20 a pack, with a deposit for the glass, and you would get it at your door with your milk.
Oh. Definitely having lists even if it's for a project I shouldn't forget about though it will hopefully solve itself if I drag it out long enough. Essentially everyone forgets about things that are some months hence if they're not captured somehow.

Latency.

It doesn't matter how fast your emulator is, throughput-wise. Your operating system (and other stuff) sits between it and output and input devices. And usually adds multiple frames worth of latency. There's ways to improve this, certainly, but you won't get that experience "out of the box."

Now, it's also possible to accomplish this by running emulators "bare metal" or "close to the metal" like my friend Randy did with his BMC64 project: https://github.com/randyrossi/bmc64
Fun indeed. And you're right -- because those triangles were used to expand folder contents.

Upvoting, hmm... well together with downvoting, you could appropriate the number spinner/stepper widget [1], the tiny little up and down buttons attached to the right side of a number field? I'm not sure that was ever native to the Platinum design language [2], but IIRC Microsoft Office at least used it at the time.

No, I think you misunderstand me. I don't just mean that the browser contains an email client. I'm replying to a comment pointing out that the browser doesn't support identity and contacts. Email has that and it's an open protocol.

To give you a very narrow example of what it might mean to integrate email into the browser better: Right now, even subscribing to a newsletter is kind of annoying. Type in your email, verify an email you get. If it was integrated better, it might be one click.

Ah. If you're working with QEMU/Libvirt, Redhat's documentation is excellent for it.

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterp...

I recommend using either Debian or another Linux that's not RedHat based though, as the Nvidia drivers will disable themselves if they think they're running inside of a VM against a GeForce card, and Redhat patched out the components necessary to hide the flags from the Guest OS. Probably under pressure by Nvidia.

You'll also have to double check that both the CPU and motherboard supports either Intel VT-d or AMD-Vi. CPU flags are easy enough, they'll be listed in /proc/cpuinfo, you'd have to look up your motherboard to see if it supports it or not though.

Technically, advertising business basically solves a market optimization problem, which means you can keep improving revenue/profit while your business structure remaining transparent to customers. This gives you a definite control on your business as well as removing lots of uncertainties. I have no doubt Apple or MS want to get their hands into the advertising business; how to do that is a different question though.
It certainly diminishes the usefulness of the rule of thumb if you add “and you’re still the product anyway even if you’re paying” to the end of it.
It was a reaction to SunVeiw failing in the marketplace. Sun wanted to give Gosling a new project to keep him around so they had him write Oak, a language for set-top devices. That eventually became Java. Andreesen was so jealous of the marketing money Sun was throwing at it he named his language JavaScript to get a free ride on that.

And not just sound engineers! So many TV shows these days are filmed in nearly pitch black. If there are any lights on in the room (or it's still bright on a northern summer night and the living room doesn't have blackout curtains), I can't see the action. At first I thought I was just being cranky and old, but then we watched The Neverending Story with my kid and lo and behold, they film in "dark scenes" with torches etc so you can still see the actors well enough to read their lips! I'm sure it would be fine if I was watching it in a proper theater, but it's a frikkin TV show and who even goes to the cinema anymore?

what, can you elaborate more on why we should:

1) empathize

2) in that specific way

this is a far cry from my initial thought of “don't tell me what to do” so I’m really curious if you can articulate in a way more of us can relate to
I have given up on Google AdWords due to the exact issue you describe.

Trying to restrict my advertising budget to just one city and do a hard geographic restriction to just US IP addresses did not work. I filed 5 tickets over two weeks with Google trying to get this resolved, only to have over half my budget spent in another continent making impressions with people that will literally never buy the local specific product advertised.

I love my Macbook too, and am hoping it revitalizes the dead OSX games industry. But its lack of backward compatibility further hurts its gaming capabilities vs the already-limited x86 OSX games. It's nice when it does work and you have some M1-native titles (Baldur's Gate, etc.) but those are far and few in between. Sure, it's a great business machine, it's just not a gamer's laptop (even though its hardware is fully capable). I use my M1 for most things, but still have to use Windows x86 for actual gaming.

Yes, Windows's backward compatibility carries a high cost. Nobody doubts that. But as a gamer, I would rather to be able to play games on a shitty OS than to have the latest, most vertically integrated all-in-one chip and stellar OS and be limited to a library of like 15 five-year-old titles.

As for the "right choice", eh, maybe from a business angle... but as a gamer, iOS games suck. They probably have that revenue mostly from lootboxes, not actual gameplay. I don't know that Apple should be applauded for turning video gaming into online gambling. That's not really a hardware/OS stack question anyway though, but a business decision. And to be fair, many of the actually curated titles (like the ones on Apple Arcade) are pretty decent -- though nothing close to the thriving indie scene on Steam/x86 Windows.

iOS is more like a console in that they're creating a new market segment, not necessarily competing with traditional PC gaming (which has taken a turn for the worse by adopting mobile lootboxes and such). On the other hand, OSX and Linux both tried the purist gaming route with their own APIs and got nowhere. It took WINE and Proton to really make the Steam Deck a viable platform (and barely that).

Do I like this situation? No, I'd rather just have games be properly cross-platform to begin with. I don't really understand how cross-platform works in Unreal and Unity, but if those engines can add native Apple Silicon support and make it easy for publishers to cross-publish, hopefully we'll see Macs on future titles alongside PC/PS/Xbox/Switch. Till then...

Depending on your needs, there is also Pixelmator Pro and (I just found it, haven’t used) Affinity Designer. Pixelmator Pro has all the features I missed from Photoshop and more. Both apps are not subscription based.
Seconded. The approach is very readable and also happens to be from an academic perspective, as BJ Fogg is a Stanford professor of psychology. I also liked the list of suggested potentially useful habits at the back of the book.

Seems author didn't even read the article linked.

Arguably this is a form of notes.

So not used for keeping notes but more like assembling notes or various thoughts in coherent format.

Because of the way it was introduced (in the financial system), there was inflation, it created an asset bubble. Asset managers, hedge fund managers, VC investors got rich, and the cost base of this population (prime real estate, restaurants in city centres, tuition fees) inflated too. That's not captured in CPI indices. Part of it was also neutralised through massive liquidity requirements imposed on banks, and the multiplier effect of banks was also killed with capital ratios / forcing banks to deleverage. But that's done now and the said requirements aren't increasing anymore.

What changed with the covid money printing is that it was distributed directly in people's pockets. Also its scale and pace dwarfed the previous 10 years of QE.

I have no good explanation for Powell to have kept printing money like there was no tomorrow after Feb 2021, after the first >7% inflation prints. I suspect he must have made a deal with Biden to let the inflation go (helped Biden's policies) in exchange for renewing his mandate. The ECB is run by a lawyer who probably had to look up on wikipedia the definition of inflation.
It's not hyperinflation by any means, but it is interesting to me that when federal reserve notes were first issued, there was a $100 bill. That would be roughly $3000 today, and yet many places to this day won't accept bills larger than a $20 and the US has declined to print larger bills due to a worry of large denominations utility in crime.
On the medium term I see another problem for search ads - the raise of AI powered question answering engines. They are accessible through voice on mobile, but probably have much less opportunity for ad revenue. The research grade models are amazing, but deployed models like Google Assistant very far behind. I bet Google is dragging its feet with the deployment of QA technology because the shift is not in their interest. Site publishers won't like it either because they lose a part of the search traffic.

In the meantime a new crop of semantic search + question answering engines appear (like DeepSet.ai's Haystack). It's time to ditch link based results. They are primitive and actually don't work well today.
It was https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0768WQ989 but it cost significantly less than that at the time - there's a whole bunch of compatible devices. Basically anything that has a UART at one end and a USB adapter at the other end would work, but we chose something in the 915MHz range because the 2.4GHz spectrum on location is just lousy and it's not in the range that most teams run controllers so it wasn't likely to interfere with that either.
It's almost as if the reason C++ can suck is actually because most developers write code that's incomprehensible.

In general this makes sense, but I think you need to be careful in some cases where the lowest latency between two logical "cores" is likely to be between those which are SMT siblings on the same physical core (assuming you have an SMT-enabled system). These logical "cores" will be sharing much of the same physical core's resources (such as the low-latency L1/L2 and micro-op caches), so depending on the particular workload, pinning two threads to these two logical "cores" could very well result in worse performance overall.
I think it's the other way around.

It makes the bike's base-model cheaper (and KTM hopes that everyone checks all the upgrade boxes or they make the upgrade sales in the aftermarket e.g. 2nd or 3rd owner onwards). Counter example: the KTM 790 Duke for example was too cheap (had most upgrades already built-in), and subsequently was replaced by the 890. You can see it with used-790's prices - the used motorcycle market is nuts anyway at the moment (with all the emission requirements, compulsory ABS etc adding weight and reducing power on current models. While i dont disagree with those regulations, the market makes a statement via used motorcycle prices for older models).

dont worry about performance bonuses, since they are either random in a few thousand dollar range, or formalized at 7-40% of your base salary with the lower bound being organization wide, and the upper bound being bearable by normal or even subpar performance at a second parallel job that also requires <8 hours daily max in parallel

The only reason you want this is because tax payers subsidize your mortgage (assuming standard fixed-rate US mortgage). No other country offers this, and it’s clearly a handout to the upper middle class. In a free market your mortgage rate would rise with inflation, or to get a fixed rate (for 30 years!) you would have to agree to a rate far above current inflation.

> Those were sovereign countries under communist single party rule and allied with the USSR.

They were countries conquered and occupied by USSR troops, with USSR military bases in them to guarantee obedience. There were local rulers, sure, but major decisions were consulted with Moscow. Many decisions just were out of question, because it was obvious that Moscow would not approve and it may end in a military intervention (as in happened in Hungary and Czech Republic). So no, I would not describe them as "sovereign countries". The proper term is something like "puppet state".

It was technically before the US was officially founded (counting from the adoption of the Constitution), but the Continental currency printed by the Continental Congress during the Revolutionary War was inflated to such a degree that a banknote in 1781 had only 1/40 of its original value in 1776, and was finally redeemable at only 1% of its face value in the 1790s, thus leading to the expression "Not worth a Continental".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_American_currency#Contin...

Edit: tried to clarify wording. In 1781, a banknote of a specific denomination was worth only 1/40th of what the same banknote was worth in 1776.
> Do you have any examples of specific ideas that are actually strange and shouted-down?

The OP said 'ignored'. Here's one idea that gets ignored or dismissed without thought:

Fiction, apart from make-believe, is a net negative for society.

It's not classic either because we're supposed to be in an enlightened era and more advanced than our primitive ancestors yet it seems people, now more than ever, look to fiction for answers (and often it's not even shared at the group level). Ironically, probably the same people who dismiss religious texts as fiction are its biggest fans.
"Allied" in the sense of having a USSR-installed puppet government propped up by the massive presence of Soviet troops. This was a part of the concessions made by the West to Stalin, not an expression of the will of Polish or German people.

Oh I am aware, from Indonesia where they have Gojek.

Here in the West I just see it have the same trajectory as Uber. Investors pump in massive amounts of money which allows the service to be sold at a loss, then investors realize they’re not gonna have unicorn returns, at which point the companies jack their rates. And whereas Uber is still a better alternative to what it replaced (the fucked up taxi industry), flash order companies don’t really have that same “I’d rather still use them” boon.

Just be sure that you are actually taking a break and not, as someone once put it, merely jumping back on to the productivity treadmill by replacing one type of work for another. That's not to say you should be spending all of your time watching streaming video, but don't devote all of your time to study or side projects. Add a lot of relaxation to the mix – perhaps a 75/25 split of relaxation and other stuff? Or maybe more.
