Yeah absolutely. Another huge thing I got some window into at Qualcomm is technical validation. So Apple is going to be looking for proof that the chips deliver and TSMC is going to be pushing back against high expectations on that front.

Many of these models aren't really falsifiable though - or at least, not falsifiable with any technology we can even conceive of today.

Supersymmetry has been ruled out twice already, but with a different choice of parameters, it is being proposed again - and, in fact, you can chose those parameters such that you would need the whole energy of the Sun, or more, to rule them out. String Theory and its few predictions are even worse in this regard.

Models of black hole evaporation would not only require extreme measurement precision, but also a good few billion years to collect any sort of data to confirm or deny.

Personally, I will note that I am hopeful some new insights into the measurement problem will come about from work on quantum computing, which is also eminently practical work.
I am currently programming a processor using C with 64 bytes of RAM. I use and reuse global variables because I can't risk the stack eating that up. Do I need Rust?

I read comments and articles all the time about the quality of Google's search dropping. I haven't noticed it much in practice, but I'm persistent, use copious ad blocking, and my Google-fu is strong, so I usually find what I'm looking for.

Image search is another story. I've been less and less satisfied with Google Image search results, and visual search has been totally neutered. It only returns low res results that rarely match the original as well as it used to. I used to be able to plug in a 400x400 image and find a dozen copies of it at a usable size. No more. Too many copyright complaints, I assume. I've started using Bing for image and visual search now. It's not as good as old Google Images, but marginally better in some cases than the current iteration.
Only if your customers are willing to pay that much.

While Apple chips are highly sought after in the West, that's still a minor part of the worldwide market altogether (and while I'd be happy to go back to M1 Max, I couldn't care less for their glossy displays, shallow keyboards and sharp edges — not to mention incomplete Linux support).
Ahh apple forced them to improve this experience after all eh? I remember Bluetooth pairing quite a bit slower and cumbersome on Android pre-airpods era.

And with it a large part of the western world is following suit, sadly. Britain for example is regressing to the Victorian era. And the rest of Europe is heading the same way. Not having any serious competitors for VISA/MasterCard doesn't help.

On one hand, yeah, you're totally right... but on the other hand, isn't that how all periodical/subscription-based entertainment works? TV shows, sporting games, magazines, music, magazines, news, podcasts, gardening, sex... we love our little doses of emotional manipulation, and will pay good money for it :D

I don't know that it's immoral unless it's pushed to the extreme with like pay-to-win gambling (and targeting kids, at that). And heavy-handed censorship (like how China limits game time) isn't great either.

Sometimes these artificial communities are the only meaningful social interactions for some of their players, and having them cooperate on challenges as a team can be good social training (compared to total isolation)...
Yes, through personal experience in the field and maintaining communication and friendships with those still in the industry.

Doesn't Apple already pay TSMC literally billions to build new fab & to get first access. This is outside the normal chip cost.

If so, seems like some hard bargaining happening on TSMC front.
This is a weird and easily disprovable objection. The numbers are not as high as the scammers for sure, but there are a not-insignificant amount of people using crypto to move real money for its exact intended purposes today.
Levels mixes location which kind of sucks - for example, Google’s non-negotiated pay bands for entry level are 220k - 157k depending on location. That’s an incredibly wide gap - > the standard US citizens salary. Levels takes the average of those numbers so the usefulness dwindles.
Exchanges already do a decent amount of KYC.

Some do not, but they typically have issues interfacing with the traditional banking environment.

6% rate hike is pretty high especially as I've read recently a lot of the inflation costs have actually gone back into corporate profits instead of inflated products costs / labor costs. Add in high cost of USD on global markets.

Interesting scenario with both parties squaring off.
I agree, but I’ve always wondered if flat UIs had a performance advantage. Like, if your GPU just rendered a bunch of rectangles of a single color instead of having to mask rounded corners or draw borders around things, could the UI run with less resources? Maybe it’s conspiratorial but it helps me sleep at night as a remember not finding buttons during the day…
I would imagine it's because classic family values are incompatible with "hookup culture" and unfettered access to sex for money, and it seems that society is sitting on the fence as to which they want for the long term.

Of course I could be totally wrong.
Media reporting certainly wasn't perfect (and probably wide range between outlets), but in reverse I've seen enough cases over the past years where things which were easily provable news suddenly are claimed to have been "suppressed" just because people don't remember it.

Not remembering is to be expected, especially during the phases where there was a few new things about COVID every week (and people quite reasonably were kind of overwhelmed with news - keeping up with everything COVID was hard if you even tried). But that doesn't mean it wasn't reported or that information isn't available if you want to look it up.

And that's not even touching the topic of people just don't liking what was reported, which you'll also find across the entire spectrum. And everyone of course wants their current pet cause to be the thing dominating all the headlines.

It's not obviously against.

IMO a stable currency is desirable, but how high it should be is a legitimate matter of dispute. A lower currency boosts some things (good or bad), a high others.

The hedge funds acted, basically, on their belief that she'd do what she had told Tody members around a month ago. They also acted on their belief that doing so would cause sterling to fall. I am sure that the Treasury believed the same, and had told Kwarteng.

If a low pound is bad, then IMO the guilt hits Truss and Kwarteng, and to a lesser degree the Tory voters who voted for this. Honest politicians told voters what they'd do, the voters voted for it, the politicians did it, and the result is bad. In this case I don't see any guilt left over for the hedge funds.

If a low pound is good (in e.g. Kwarteng's opinion), then there is nothing to be guilty of, so no guilt hits the hedge funds.

(I wrote above that my opinion is that a stable currency is good. If they wanted a lower pound they should have been much more gradual about it, and if they didn't they should have listened to the Treasury. But that's just my opinion.)

Bitcoin actually does play a big role in the online sex industry. Many sex workers and businsses online accept bitcoin and even prefer it. But then there's the problem that the US, and other, government are actively trying to regulate the Bitcoin to fiat gateways out of existence and make it too honerous for them to run their businesses the same way that sex worker businesses are attacked by the payment processors. So once you start working in cryptocurrency not only are the payment processors attacking you now you have the government attacking you too.
Having doctors in my family, the reports they hear from gynecologist colleagues are quite unambiguous. There are massive side effects from Covid vaccines.

Well who in the absolute fuck is going to the doctor to report “everything is fine, no change here”?
Yeah, exactly. Those built-in GPSes are just atrocious. I only use mine for the radio and have a car mount for my phone for all the rest of it.
There's no reason the MNT Reform cannot be used both on the go and in a docking station.

The parent likes to use an "old fashioned" (I disagree with that judgement, but fine) paradigm of portability, so what? Does that make it a less valid choice? "Portable" is a generic term that's not reserved for discussions of any specific kind of portability, so why not coin/use a specific term for "fits in your pocket and is usable on the train" if you need one, rather than silently assume?
>> "The entire stock photo industry is so bad at creativity you can basically instantly tell if a photo is a stock photo, making anyone using them look like a complete fool."

Only the bad, outdated stock photos. There is still a whole market for the "obviously corporate corporate website" corporate website, but that's falling out of fashion.

What you're thinking of are the bland, white backgrounded photos and photos shot in stale, generic office settings so they could be worked into any design. That's not really how it's done anymore. Modern stuff doesn't look posed and staged, and often isn't.
The majority of the west isn't 'following' the US. Sex workers and their consumers have always been seen as 'lesser' or 'tainted', across most cultures.

The act of going to HD, parking, and going to find that tape measure probably takes about 5-10, maybe 15 mins depending on how far off of your route home the store is. Do you consider the cumulative time spent performing those tasks to have been wasted if you leave empty-handed?

You're over-analyzing this. None of that matters in any way here. Humans are not homo-economicus - obsessively rational creatures who roam around minimax'ing every decision. At least I'm not.
If I am on my pc with a mouse getting to top is either a click or button combo away, so this popping up stuff is a net loss.

Its even worse on the phones where you sometimes get header plus some commercial and maybe a cookie banner, interacting with each other trying to figure out how to close them in order is a puzzle.

There have been maybe 1 or 2 sites out of all that i have visited, that I didn't immediately hate the banner.

To me it become a "site smell". So if I have an option I'll go elsewhere for my needs.
Welp - TIL.

Thanks for the correction.

You have a cookie baking or massage business that covers enough to pay a modest mortgage and car. The rest you pay in cash. You give family members down payments to buy property or leases for you.
I just want a 200LX with a bit more RAM, wifi, and a new-ish CPU. As far as I'm concerned, it could run on a Raspberry 0 W. I haven't seen anything new with that Palmtop style of keyboard. It needs both good keys and a decent layout, but everything new I've seen seems to compromise on both.
From a rational perspective, this doesn't make sense.

Sure. But how is that relevant to anything?

But from an emotional and impulsive perspective, it makes perfect sense. People are not entirely driven by rational thinking especially when it comes to trivial tasks like going to the store to buy something, which people usually expect to go smoothly.

Exactly this. There's more to the "equation" so to speak than just minimax'ing around some naive notion of rationality.
Putin is acting rationally as someone staying in power at all costs to his country.
I recently renewed my 3 year subscription with them and I've been a customer since 2017, before that I was on GSuite and O365. I still remember coming form GSuite and noticing just how easy it was to set everything up, pretty sure I had everything migrated over in ~1hr.

Since then the best news about Fastmail is that their is no news: they just freaking work. Everything is stable and predictable and that's what I want from an email provider. I'm sure that GSuite and O365 have more features for collaboration and I still recommend that customers sign up for O365 since that's what everyone is most used to. But I'll say for personal email, nothing beats Fastmail.

But by far the killer feature that they offer is domain aliases. With filtering and aliases, I'm able to run something like 5 domains and 20 distinct email addresses out of one inbox.

You may be right but I wonder how such a market would compare to MacBooks? I wonder what the margins are? I think it's a big market and I don't see the so-called Big Four motorcycle manufacturers as being able to garner the public sentiment needed to tackle it. Apple could make it an extension of their environmental programs. Just a thought.
It's also not about thinking creatively all the time. When I did interviews at a FAANG, there were many interviewers whose questions ranged from understanding basic CS to inventing new algorithms in specific circumstances. Generally, the second set of questions rarely had optimal solutions that took longer than O(n), and the first set of questions had answers that come out of a CS textbook.

In other words, the first set of questions is about doing normal tasks in the normal way, and the second set of questions is about solving relatively simple problems in a way that scales up massively.

When you are doing something that has a well-known optimal solution, your colleagues will expect it to be done in the well-known way. They don't want to have to read through your "creative" code to determine that you are just doing a graph search in a different way than they are used to. Engineering at a place like Google isn't about doing cool things: it's about doing things that are kind of cool in a way that a mediocre CS grad from a high-ranked school can understand and extend your solutions.
I’ve been with Proton Mail for the past two years, but I recently switched to fastmail after switching from Android to iOS due to how locked down Proton Mail is.

I know being locked down is part of Proton’s schtick, and I could kind of put up with only using their app for email. However, being unable to use any app for my calendar and contacts was annoying. It would have made the switch to iOS much easier. Further, the proton mail app on android developed a bug related to alternative routing that I was unable to figure out that led to the app not working for me for over a month.

I began realizing that I value being able to freely use my email, contacts, and calendars with whatever app I choose. The fact that I can also sync notes and reminders to my custom domain on fastmail from my iPhone is just a plus.

For operating a custom domain and being able to freely move between front ends for those services, I’m really satisfied with fastmail so far, and I’m actually using their web UI for email and calendar because it works well enough for me.

My only small gripe is the fastmail app on iOS doesn’t support offline emails. The native Mail app does, but the reason I prefer the fastmail app is native integration with calendar invites. Perhaps if Mail ever supported the JMAP protocol being explained in the post, I could happily use the app, which has become much better with iOS 16.
Same here. My Thinkpad doesn't look as cool but it's so much better to work on. Amazing keyboard, matte screen that even has touch, no sharp edges. And it has PORTS!

Apple solved these issues somewhat with the new MBP but the keyboard and screen still sucks for me. Their new SoCs are great though.
Kinda crazy to not pay up to 6% for these up to gains.
I don't disagree but I wish Python had builtin support for runtime type checking. I've thought about switching to Go or Rust for certain projects but Python's rich ecosystem makes it hard for me to switch, so for now I long for runtime type checking without needing an external library (e.g typeguard).
Guy Steele's talk came up here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30462835 with an APL solution of:

Politicians generally have almost no influence in scientific spending other than "here is a big block of R&D money". Those who dish out the money are not elected officials, at least not elected by the public.
> No, primitives are immutable but still passed by reference

For immutable values the pass-by-reference vs pass-by-value distinction isn't really important. Unless the language provides some way to get the identity of the object there isn't a way to tell a difference.

> Can you imagine if we'd copied strings every time they were passed into a function?

IIUC most Javascript interpreters optimize copying strings anyways, so this wouldn't be a big deal. For example even though `s.slice(1)` is a "copy" most engines (I believe V8 included) will use the same backing string for both. So the difference would be a pointer on the stack vs a pointer+length on the stack and copying an extra word is not a huge difference.

But maybe this is just being nitpicky, since the article is focused on performance the lower level details do mater not the semantics. However for strings I don't think the difference between their model and reality is very significant.

If we frame the idea a bit more precisely:

1) Pornography studies can be an aspect of sociology, and it's not uncommon for sociologists to specialize in a narrow area.

2) The study of pornography isn't all that narrow to begin with. It's something that has driven technology to a great extent, in particular media and web functionalities. It's something with thousands of years of history and with literally billions of people involved as producers or consumers. There are probably very few people reading this thread who have never viewed a form of it.

3) A job can have a poor financial outlook even if its subject matter is worthwhile.

Locked bootloaders, for one. Even if you can unlock it, there's a disincentive to do so thanks to losing the SafetyNet status - which will brick a whole range of apps that refuse to run if it's not intact.
>Is there sometihng about doctors and ideology that goes so closely together?

Have you met many doctors? Some are amazing, hard-working people really doing their best to help humanity, but a non-trivial number are just arrogant jerks who only went into the profession for money and social status. It's natural that a profession seen as particularly "high status" will attract a lot of soulless status seekers.

If you ask it means having strong opinions came back to bite you and you don't want it to happen again. Keep this situation in mind, it's an excellent starting point to understand how you could react differently.

In most cases, strong opinions are only problematic if there is miscommunication around. You may have good reasons behind your opinion, but you need to make your case to the other people. They don't live in your head or share your knowledge. Explaining is the most difficult part: you have to put yourself in the shoes of the other person. What's their background, what do they know about the problem, where does their opinion come from,... It's essentially an endless list but the better you understand the other person, the better you will communicate. Never attack the person or be condescending, you are the teacher and they are the student.

... So, that was the case where you were right, but you will be wrong sometimes and you have to know. It's also a communication problem: you need to find the information you were missing when you made up your opinion. If someone comes to you and says "we have a new project coming, it's on an embedded chip and we'll do it in Python". You may want to reply that Python is slow and we should do it in Rust otherwise there's no point of even doing it on embedded. And you'd be right for certain cases, but this project was meant be as an introduction to robotic for children. Without all the info, you reach the wrong conclusion. Here, you have two choices to not be perceived as an asshat: seek the information/explanation first "oh Python on embedded, is there a particular reason (for not using Rust/C)?" or admit you were wrong right away "yeah, teaching children about ownership models seems like a stretch..." (if you're not in the mood for jokes: "ok, makes sense"). Do this and people won't blame you for having strong opinions.

If you are just holding strongly to your opinions without explanation, all the other person will hear is "I won't listen to you", "I don't want to change" and/or "I want to win". And I'm sure that's now how you want to appear.

Another poster talked about "Strong opinions, loosely held." and that's pretty much the summary of my rant.
> I wonder how prices are discovered in situations like these?

You are reading about it! If a deal is met, the supply and demand curves presumably intersect, and a price is discovered.

Of course, with extremely low volume of deals and extremely high complexity, the risk of miscalculation and loss for either party is high. Apple overpaying and their customers not willing to pay, or TSMC underpricing and not being able to cover their costs of production to deliver the goods qt the agreed upon specifications. This is also a loss for Apple, since having a functional TSMC is the ideal, not forcing them to go out of business.
