Good! They will not get 40 years into unpaidable loans! If university education is such a goldmine, any bank will loan them, it must be like 20% per annum profit!!!
I similarly found myself irritated that there was no mention of Zenith's prominent place in the advent of the ATSC digital television system and their subsequent role as technical shepherds of ATSC hardware and software development, which went with all the rest over to LG. My bad for not noticing the 1988 timeframe of the article.
To explain this easily I need to move down to Rock, Paper, Scissors. If you are up against a bot that always throws each 33% of the time with no strategy involved, that is called an un-exploitable strategy, but it's also an un-exploiting strategy. Even if I were to always throw Paper 100% of the time against this bot, we would always on average tie. This is the Nash Equilibrium point.

What you want to do is perhaps start with this random strategy, determine the realtive strength of your opponent, and only move to an exploiting strategy if they are weaker than you. If they throw Rock 40% of the time, you should throw Paper 40% of the time. If you were to enter a RPS tournament playing randomly, it is unlikely that you would reach the end. You need to exploit.

In Poker Cash Games, people just play the Nash and when opponents make flat-out mistakes they yield a little bit of profit. Do this enough with high enough stakes and it works out, even if its extremely boring. But this won't work in Poker Tournaments, where you only get payouts for top 10%, weighted heavily towards winning. So what happens in Poker is what happens in RPS - you attempt to find exploits, and your opponents attempt to find exploits in your play. In turn each of the players are attempting to move the environment of the play towards a position where they know it well and can find those mistakes.

If deviating from the Nash yields better results than the penalty of deviating because in that environment you are stronger than your opponent, you should take it. As this article points out, the same is true in Chess. And as you point out, this is also true of the Eephus pitch.
You are still paying to build the second lane though. In addition many people have not paid off their student loans but make to much money to qualify, they are being forced over the pothole
This has got to be one extremely expensive toolchain and supply chain redesign to do, but since they have done it a few times before (instead of incremental changes) I suppose the money department has worked out when it is feasible to do that kind of thing while keeping the people in charge happy.

I'm curious to see if this is a 'test' to see if this doesn't have too many downsides, I imagine ingress area increasing this much might be a point of worry (well, there are flexible seals for that now), and instead of having a one-way stack you now have a two-way stack so tooling and workstations around that (even if we just think in terms of assembly and rework) are going to be a PITA to convert or completely replace.

Either this will be a success and allow for the architectural change to be applied to other products, or it's a medium-success in which this only works for specific parts/antenna/power envelope configurations and we won't see this design in other form factors.

What does itch a little is iFixit whining about the parts needing be a signed set to work together. Nobody has come up with a better integrity protection method, and no-protection isn't an option either for the ecosystem. Besides, instead of having a 'safe' and 'unsafe' option for which practically no user will ever be able to make an informed decision, you can simply choose not to buy it if this is a feature you seriously despise.
Well, I hope those people don't end up homeless. I don't see how the housing market crashing is going to be good for them.
New loan issuances will fall overnight and university fee will fall probably by next year. They will end up discontinuing a lot of useless courses due to lack of students.
I simply do not want my computer sending signatures of anything on my disks to apple's servers. They can f*k right off. So glad I switched off Mac.
#1 - A latent sense of paranoia that drives the development of decentralized technology
Knocking off 25% of a loan with compounding interest is vastly different than "pay all expenses in perpetuity for a selection of people, ~40% of the population forever".

Conflating one with another is not arguing in good faith, IMO.

And frankly, that would be awesome. Did you know that about 40% of the population in the US is unemployed, voluntarily or involuntarily? The proposal is basically UBI, and that's perfectly fine by me.

EDIT: And why is it fine by me? Because I will eventually be one of those unemployed. Either intentionally or unintentionally, depending on how the die rolls. I'd love to know I won't be forced to panhandle or take up a menial job with a body destroyed by time just to put a roof over my head and food in my body.
Yeah, textual inversion is amazing paired with SD.

I recently trained it on NFTs to generate variants of bored ape and punk style art.

The only problem right now is the variants are not consistent and it's hard to tell stable diffusion to make only slight variant changes with some mask and editing.

You can mask out the top head of the NFT punk and stablediffusion can generate different heads but that's fairly limited in the end result.

I think a cloud service which can automate the training and store textual inversion models would be a really cool startup. Ping me if you want to build this together.

I've been experimenting with it to spit out commercial style illustrations and stock photos. It's a lot of manual work with Google collab and frustrating to try.

A friend attempted to give his his family, his doctor and me the ability to institutionalize him in case he had a psychotic break. He had medical insurance.

Later, the psychotic break came, and he decided there was a complicated conspiracy involving doctors, and started fantisizing about shooting up the local synagogue (he did not and has never owned a gun). Despite this, the local mental hospital said they could not honor his wishes unless he voluntarily committed himself.

Ultimately, before he got care, he lost his job, wife, apartment, most of his stuff, life savings, medical coverage, and car.

If anything, this bill doesn't go far enough. For one thing, it only fines municipalities that ignore it $365K per year.
This is the right decision.
Very cool, thanks for the link! This context helps a ton :)
Yes but likewise, the motives and their future intent is unknown by a sub optimal move. So in a sense, it is similar to bluffing when you don't know the actions of the other person, deception is required to make yourself unpredictable.

This is why playing against a maniac (seemingly random and not respecting bluffs or equity) is very difficult because if they get lucky enough times, they are able to "break the game" by getting the opponent to be extremely risk averse OR take on more risks.

I believe this is what Magnus is referring to, its that making yourself unpredictable by questionable moves and no longer playing in a way that has been taught.

For example the common strategy is to go all in with strong pairs like AA, KK but someone beats it with a totally random garbage hand (52o, 37o) and does so repeatedly, no theory can help you win against somebody who is just repeatedly lucky and brash.
I mean I can take pictures underwater with a freakin phone. I guess you could call that "over engineering" but I also understand that means maintaining that type of device integrity would require some heavy lifting to service the device after it's been sealed up.

> I'm of the thought that there is only so much leisure a person can take before there is a drive to contribute toward the betterment of humanity.

I agree completely.

> If someone trusted you and you were trustable, would you take a large lump sum and work for work's sake? Would it make a difference if the sum was an equity stake in the work's environment?

I wouldn't, if it involved a long-term commitment. It's the long-term commitment that's the issue. It locks you into one thing and eliminates the ability to do something better -- or just different -- later on.

The money doesn't really enter into it.
It looks like they did this on purpose, otherwise they won't ignore such an important issue.
Highly disagree. I still replay No One Lives Forever (hilarious game) and the Max Payne 1 & 2 every few years. These games had great stories, game play, and characters; last time I replayed them was during the pandemic in 2020.
I don't want to pile on here but everyone who used Chromium while pretending they weren't supporting google's Chrome monopoly, pretending Chromium was something else, are getting the only outcome that was possible.

Would it be actually legal for the Figma owners to sell the company to Adobe, create the new company, say Figma2.0 and create similar(better) product from scratch, also advertise it as creators of original Figma come up with Figma2.0?

My Apple Watch with Cellular enabled is the only electronic doo-dad that I carry on my bike rides, even up to 100 miles. At the end of the night when it goes on the charger, I might have 20% left. That's good enough for me considering I seldom, if ever, leave the house with a phone.

And if one could ever get a cellular enabled watch without an iPhone, I'll be first in line.
I think your experience is typical... the best way to get a job is via a network referral because someone will actually look at your resume. It's not fair and almost corrupt in away - because if you're an outsider (not same region, alma mater, religion or class / cycles etc) then you end up in a pile.

It's shocking to know that recruiters / HR typically spend 6-7 seconds [0] reviewing resumes on the initial pass. This means that for you to get thier attention for a second look requires you crafting your cover letter and resume as a marketing piece to showcase your skills.

There are countless guides [0] on how to make your resume standout - something most enginners / developers think it's uncessary.

For me I look for; 1) Targeted Application - means the user actually read the job description and not simply spraying resume and generic cover letter to ANY open positions worldwide. 2) Resume format - sending a Word document is ok but please use PDF if possible - formatting and fonts are consitent for everyone and might indicate you don't care 3) Include GitHub/GitLab profile or personal site (extended resume link) - someone checking your profile means sunken cost in terms of time and always guarantees you a second / third look for sure! 4) Email address you use on your application (sexylegs@aol.com might be OG address to you but someone else might judge you for using it)

Lastly, there are things you cannot control; I saw someone mention on a video recently that putting the year you graduated can lead to age discrimination (ouch!). It's also well documented that the response rate is affected by your name [1] - which is truly heartbreaking [2]. I hope blind resumes becomes a thing.

They just seem engineered to a different market, their own repair techs. Bulky doesn’t matter, expensive doesn’t matter. Being absolutely completely foolproof when used by non-expert techs with a few weeks training and having as little risk of damaging the device at possible does matter.
Runs well on Windows 10, looks decent. Single 7MB executable that can be copied around. A lot of handy tools for a self contained app.

A few initial observations: the list of languages in the Scratch Pad is not correctly sorted. Also the Powershell results for errors show the ANSI escape codes. It would be nice if those were interpreted and the output colored.

It would also be nice if each editor held on to its text when you switch apps. I could see putting some code together in the scratch pad or the markdown editor, then going over to a color or number convertor to get a result, then going back to what I already had in progress.

Altogether though, great start and very nice job!

Checks and balances will of course be implemented, in the same way they are to hold police officers accountable, or border patrol agents, or the TSA, and so on, with their powers. These of course all work flawlessly.
Ha yes, I see it more as a candidate for a maxwell's equations of software engineering than the metacircular interpreter.
I have been of the same opinion (and I guess I still am, albeit less strongly). However, user wants aside, easily repairable products are better ecology-wise.

I want Apple to be allowed to create any device they want, but I think iPhone and Mac repairability can be currently improved without noticably hurting features. Prioritizing it would be the right trade off to do. In that case they should go for it (as they apparently decided to do).

Even without fighting for regulation, we can still celebrate companies when they decide to create repairable products with long term software support and complain about them when they don't.

A regulation that I would like to see would be to perhaps force 'makers' to sell genuine spare parts to anyone (same goes for Tesla and others).

Yes. Having worked with designers many who use Adobe suite for everything aren't even aware that XD exists.

XD makes sense compared to Sketch -- build something in Illustrator and make it accessible to others -- and lacking compared to Figma -- Illustrator already in the cloud with multiplayer mode.
I am running quite a different browser setup from most regular web users.

I am using Firefox with multi-account containers and uBlock Origin enabled, and I also have an OpenVPN client running, the amount of captchas and distrust I receive from Cloudflare (and their customers, unknowingly I suppose) feels disproportionate.

It's funny to me that these companies most likely spends a lot of time and energy on how to optimize their websites and purchase flows, and they might not know how often Cloudflare puts up barriers and destroy their hard work.
IIRC they were random letters that do not occur naturally in English words, in order to serve as easily searchable annotation/footnote identifiers. He somewhat already knew they were extra details that would not make it to the main body. Later these get changed [1], [2], etc but you don't want to use these at the outset due to possible reordering/deleting.

I did actually think of that but decided it would be a net good.
People would learn to buy from trusted sources (which would probably work in Apple's favour) and also it would out the thieves in a rather unfortunate way for them, so they'd probably get the reputation they deserve rather quickly.
I have the strictly opposite advice to recommend. Ditch the cushioning completely. I had stress injuries every year until swapping to barefoot shoes, and have experienced none since. It changed my gait and allowed my stabiliser muscles to actually function. Could not recommend it enough.

This reminds me of my favorite chess quote, "You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.” - Tal.

He was notorious for doing just this. He would make what have now been engine analyzed as sub-optimal moves but which lead to such complex and dynamic positions that his opponent would eventually slip and he would exploit their error in dramatic fashion. This is one reason why he is considered one of the most creative attacking players ever.
In general, pre-ordering isn’t a great idea. Money is worth more now than in the future, and the quality and price of the game does not change significantly between the last day to preorder and the first day reviews drop.
3rd parties are very much not able to match. Just do a side by side of screen quality and battery life. That is what upsets a customer more than anything - but they never know exactly why.

There are substantial externalities to commercializing products that cannot be repaired. Fantastic amounts of non-biodegradable waste, overconsumption of nonrenewable material resources, and of course financial loss to consumers and opportunity cost to the secondary market. "Just choose not to buy the product" is only sensible if choosing not to buy the product fully insulates you from the effects of its existence.

Regulation places the cost of those externalities and/or the responsibility to prevent them back in the lap of the manufacturer.

They are not acting like capitalists because they don't have to. They offer a low value product for a high price, and the government foots the bill through guaranteed student loans. If they had to take risk on the loans, then they would act like capitalists, which means limiting expenses, and pricing the product where it provides economic value to the customers. If not, they cease to exist, like any other capitalist.
Yeah I think a lot of people are acting like the system is static and not dynamic. Tuition increases over year in unexpected amounts. Interest rates do too. Student loan costs are similar to a 30 year mortgage cost. If you're expecting 18 year olds to accurately know what 30 years (or even 10 years) is, then you're fooling yourself. They just don't have that experience. They're just relying on what their parents and society told them: "go to college". But this is exacerbated by everyone acting like what worked in the past works today. You can't go in thinking that school can be paid off by working over the summer (like my dad did) as that just isn't going to happen. Schooling is also more difficult now because intelligence has progressed and what students need to learn to stay up to date is a higher bar. This makes working during schooling harder too. The ecosystem is moving at a rapid pace and ignoring this just increases the problems.
Bobby Fischer attempted to solve the rote memorization problem by creating Fischer Random Chess: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer_random_chess

With 960 possible starting positions, opening line memorization is far beyond current human capacity.

There have been some recent Random Chess tournaments with high level GMs like Magnus and they’re pretty fun and entertaining. Chess.com has some great live coverage and analysis of these events as well as classical chess tournaments.
Their replacements were far less reliable because the ICs were socketed, not soldered onto the board. My old man regularly opened the back of his 1980 RCA to “crack knuckles”…firmly seat ICs that had lifted up from the DIP sockets.

The unreliable nature of tube NTSC color TVs was entirely the fault of tubes being pushed to their limits and the need for 600 volt plate supplies.

> As I understand it, those are mainly concerned with reduction in labor costs.

Where does your understanding derive from? Reducing macroeconomics to "reducing labor costs" is akin to reducing classical mechanics to "computing projectile trajectories". I don't know Christensen but I take it that he's a business school professor and I guess that was the target audience he was speaking to there.

You're not wrong that economics is a discipline that is not free from ideological biases, but I guess you're going a bit far in reducing the discipline to that. People still want to answer questions with data, like "what happens to unemployment (and exchange rates, and investment,...) if we raise interest rates?". Labor economics might ask more narrow questions like "what happens if we raise the minimum wage?". That's the sort of questions that economics deals with, not musing over the semantics of creation vs discovery.
Stop printing.

Also some of the effects are temporary or one time. For instance the supply chain problems are still going on. Different things are out of stock from what were out of stock a year ago, but the effects are severe. Most notably a person who can’t get the $40,000 car they want is not going to spend that $40,000 on something else.

The Trump administration also slapped a 20% tariff on imports from China which obviously makes many things more expensive.

If people try to get around this by wage increases they could transform an 8% one time price increase to an 8% price increase every year. We’ve got the current advantage that people haven’t complete acquiesced to inflationary psychology. When you go to McDonalds and see a Big Mac meal costs more than $10 you might think ‘crap I can’t afford that!’, an attitude that will drive prices back down. If you'd lived with high inflation for 10 years you might not slow down your consumption faced with high prices and worse, think ‘I better buy that now because it will be more expensive later’, which accelerates inflation.
An executive order that Biden has no legal right to enact. This is what we get from the party that values "democracy." Bypass all legislation if you can't get what you want and if a law is passed democratically that you don't like then tie it up by using the legal system and activist judges forever. There is very little "democracy" happening in our system currently.
I disagree that integrity protection is necessary across many components of the phone.

There should be integrity protection on the SoC, and then all other components should be untrusted.

Sure, that means someone can proxy the fingerprint sensor or put on a fake screen that shows a fake consent dialogue. But I think that is an acceptable risk - after all, you can never protect against someone making an entirely new device that just happens to look like an iPhone.
Arcane with Alex Yee and Christian Linke [audio]
I blame the whole "American Dream" thing, this silly notion that anybody can become rich with enough hard work. It's led to a lot of poor people thinking they're not poor, just a temporarily embarrassed millionaire. Or people that work hard but aren't gathering wealth blame other people for their lack of success.

The result is that when someone proposes raising taxes on the uber-wealthy, people making $40,000/year go into a panic thinking it'll ever affect them.
