I didn't go into it trying to break or trick it. The only thing tricky about the questions I asked was that I knew the answer to them. I don't think it's necessary dumber than the first page of a Google search but it's certainly not more well informed than that. But it certainly seems smart, which is actually a bit problematic.
I feel like this entire article was literally just made up out of thin air. Really? They just laid off a shit ton of people in tech. It’s like a staff writer gets a free pass to invent a trend that was believable six months ago but not now and they didn’t get the memo the tide has turned.
Yes it's been a bunch of fun! Thanks for the kind words!

I am with you. I was using Tab Overview for a long time before I used Shift + Cmd + A on Chrome. Really made switching tabs a breeze! I wish I didn't have to build this and Safari provided a better native method to be honest :)
A year ago I skimmed through the spec and counted ~40 distance units in CSS (12 font units, 18 viewport units, 7 absolute distance units if I counted correctly).

As you'd expect, none of them do what you'd really want them to do.
Critical security vulnerability in an iOS-exclusive app? I bet they're using CloudKit and forgot to implement server-side access control. (Even Apple screws that up half the time: https://labs.detectify.com/2021/09/13/hacking-cloudkit-how-i...)

If a hypothetical real Chrome for iOS existed that -- like this thread is about -- let you run native quality apps with access to features that Safari doesn't allow then people would switch over. Imagine actually getting notifications from your apps!

If they don't like the UI/UX, I'm sure they'd find hypothetical Chromium variant that suits their needs. Eventually browsers without better underlying technology would just cease to exist.

I use Firefox myself but if it stopped keeping up with modern web standards eventually I'd have give it up.
Generally I like more this it is like discussing cold-calculating Data or super google.
Around 2012-2013, my 5/6-ish year old daughter found an old wired phone I kept around and she was astonished when I told her that wires used to connect phones. "You need wires to phone call? But why!"

A few years back, in India, competition amongst the ISP/Telephone providers were heating up and everything became so cheap and readily available. I got Jio for fun, and then Airtel in hope to stop them from calling/texting/spamming me. Now, I have two additional Internet fibers coming in besides the primary, and they came with free (I think, Unlimited) phone calls. So, I added two wired phones and kept them.

Now, my 2nd daughter (5-ish year old) is intrigue and knows she can talk to her grandparents on the other end. She is brimming with triumph and fun that she knows the "numbers to grandma and grandpa."

Growing up, phones were a luxury and I know the ins-out of the only telephone exchange in our tiny home-town, where I know quite a few top executives (friends' father/uncles). I love the nostalgia of having a wired phone and I want that rotary ones.
> .. one hydrogen pipeline can move as much renewable energy as 5-10 giant transmission lines, using one 50' right-of-way and no visible infrastructure (vs transmission towers, 500'-2000' of right-of-way and 100'+ tall towers).

This.

Most people don't seem to be aware of how massive the upgrades to a 100 % renewable electric grid would have to be. In order to always be able to transmit 100 % of available peak renewable energy from where it's produced to where it can be used.

Also, an electric grid is a much more fragile infrastructure than gas pipelines, which are in themselves a large buffer.
Good point ... at the end it's what you expect from vh ... just make it work without 10 different distinctions you'll never use in your life.
I wasn’t boosting past software. Doing so would be banal nostalgia.

I’m saying the doing matters, not the software; we throw it away and regenerate it all the time. It’s disposable ephemera.

It’s literally just the creative process that matters.
I feel the landing page needs a minimum example of how to get value, not only how to install it. Think stripe, that to this day shows how to integrate it with a few lines of code. When looking at the tutorial, I also feel a lot of steps necessary to check it out. Why not provide basic functionality out of the box or a quick start to git clone?

On another note, having built startup search myself [1], I think the demo does not do the technology justice [2]. People will most likely judge the product based on it, but the offered startup search does not work as expected, e.g. when trying "food delivery". Feel free to get in touch, will happily provide some data :)

> The big competitor to Apple is Samsung, and Samsung devices tend to be just as locked down as Apple devices

Please, you can sideload apps by selecting a single option... Not to mention you have all the options to make alternative apps default like any Google device.

That alone is significantly more open than Apple devices...
That does truly look like a better link than the Forbes one. The Forbes one also omits some interesting information in the U Alberta release
In the UK, unless you're on virgin (there might be a few others I'm unaware of), you're pretty much forced to have a landline for which you're charged line rental, even if you don't or will never use it.
One example is just opening the Web Extension API in Safari. As much as I love Safari, Chrome/Firefox extension ecosystem is miles ahead. I don't use Safari for work for the same reason. Give me ModHeader : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/modheader-modify-h... on Safari. But can't happen because the API is locked down.
> I do suspect another big factor is that experienced people overthink things a bit, much like a child seems to learn a language faster than an adult but may only be more willing to make silly mistakes.

The term for "failed to implement any kind of authorization in the API" isn't "silly mistakes", it's "professional negligence".

It's unethical to learn 101-level stuff by playing around with a million people's personal information. These guys should turn Hive off and never, ever turn it back on.
I have, however if you are a business you can not avoid apple if you want to access the most lucrative markets. An iOS version of your app is a must.
yup you could build saas application with this.
To clarify, are you saying the entire app was slower with AVX than it was with SSE4?

That would be surprising, because 2x vector width is expected to outweigh 10-20 percent downclocking. Even more so with Haswell, which adds FMA and thus doubles FLOPS.
The additional permutes are indeed not free, but we did get an all to all int32 shuffle, which could actually be more efficient than having to load/generate the corresponding PSHUFB input.

Taking a step back, these are examples of AVX adding a bit of cost, but I'm not yet seeing an accounting of the benefits, nor showing that they are outweighed by the cost.
I replaced my TV with a large monitor and a mac mini. My remote is a wireless apple mouse and keyboard which we leave on a cutting board on the couch.

The benefit of streaming shows in a browser is that I can slow down all shows for my kids to 85% so they are slightly less stimulating and i NEVER get ads.

The computer also serves as a hub for music, it’s connected to some wireless speakers we can move to another room when playing music.
Thank you for the kind words! I am working on releasing it as soon as possible. Working on it after work and amidst wedding planning hence it's not out yet.
I created a 11-dimensional array on my laptop, thus proving string theory.
The unforeseen consequences of the former will break the latter. Schools, Test Proctoring companies, Game companies will "force" users to install the ADDITIONAL option to run whatever is required and then simply extend their reach beyond what is appropriate.
Yup, great feature request! Love it. Definitely on the cards to do it after I release the first cut.

I love the same feature in Chrome so I am with you.
Really?

I just priced up a 128-core (dual EYPC) Dell server with specs comparable to a matching Azure cloud server (HB120rs_v3), and the "1 year reserved" price for Azure came out to about the same as the purchase price over 3 years. The 3-year reserved price is about the same as the purchase price over 4 years. There's a new 5-year reservation option, which is the equivalent of owning the hardware for 7 years. Spot pricing is the equivalent of amortizing the purchase price over 12 years!!

Meanwhile, using the cloud, you can upgrade to the 9004 series in just a few months, not 12 years from now. And then whatever comes after the 9004 series in like 2 years, not 5, 7, or 12.

So it looks like that at the larger scales, the pricing is very directly competitive with on-premises hardware.

Consider that the cloud hosts include most basic operations costs, such as cooling, electricity, data centre floor space rental, the SFP ports and cabling, etc, etc...

Speaking of which, a quick back-of-the-envelope calculation is that a 128 core server will cost about $20K in cooling and electricity over its lifetime.

Note that the Azure HB120rs_v3 sizes come with 200 Gbps InfiniBand "just thrown in" for laughs. Try pricing that up some time, in case you want to build your own hyperconverged infrastructure!

Admittedly, at the smaller sizes, Azure and AWS are less competitive, but you do get flexibility, automation, and a bunch of other stuff that's difficult and expensive at scale on-prem.
I think this is less about control, and more about avoiding the 15-30% fee charged for selling through the App Store

As a user, I have always been able to run what I want on Apple devices. Most recently I found my kids were seeing bad recommendations on the YouTube app on Apple TV. I did not like the recommendations, or the adverts. I was able to clone Yattee[1] from Github and build it to the Apple TV from my laptop on the couch

Not as easy as side-loading, but also not difficult. Now when you want to _sell_ something like this, you can't. I'm fine with that. Freedom to run code is different from the freedom to package it up and sell it on a platform you don't own

Google makes side-loading hard[2] on Android for exactly the same reasons. They give preferential treatment[3] to big apps to prevent them from starting competing stores

I have the level of control that I like over my devices. I can't install my own OS on an iPhone, but there's great developments on Mac[4]. Given the hardware is now basically identical, this seems OK

Wow. This is Gold. I used to remember historical dates for school by adding/mixing with phone numbers. I had my "phone-diary" with a cryptic number pattern for each page (just in case, it got lost or stolen). I had my first personal (mobile) phone/number in 2000 and that was a fresh start.
>I’m not sure he’s subject to American financial laws at all since ftx was offshore.

He almost certainly is. Under US law, it doesn't actually matter where you're based. If you are engaging in substantial activity in the US, and have a presence in the US, then you are within the jurisdiction of the US, at least for that portion.
>As a language model, I do not have personal beliefs or opinions, and I am not capable of making moral judgments. My purpose is to assist users in generating human-like text based on the input provided to me. The statement that "good and bad are subjective" is not a personal opinion or moral judgment; rather, it is a fact about the nature of these concepts. The idea that good and bad are subjective is a widely held belief that has been expressed by many philosophers and thinkers throughout history. It is not a value judgment or personal opinion, but rather a statement about the nature of these concepts.

oh wow. it unhesitatingly takes up and expresses very controversial philosophical opinions. it has been force fed specific positions and makes me want to bash my head in.
Now if we could just standardise this so you didn't have to do several coding assignments for every position you apply for. I'm sure most people needs to apply to more than one company to actually get hired, especially with all the layoffs now.
You could start a consulting firm that offers it as a service.
Maybe Meta is interested.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Antitrust_Paradox

Microsoft got hit because it had, what, >90% of the desktop PC market? And that at the time where the mobile market was so niche (Palm etc) that it could be disregarded.

Apple is hovering around 50% of the market. It's certainly market-dominant, but by the standards of the 90s and the Microsoft anti-trust case, it's nowhere even close. By the pre-Bork standards, that's a very different story. Here's how we used to run things:

https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/370/294/

"The District Court found that the merger would increase concentration in the shoe industry, both in manufacturing and retailing, eliminate one of the corporations as a substantial competitor in the retail field, and establish a manufacturer-retailer relationship which would deprive all but the top firms in the industry of a fair opportunity to compete, and that, therefore, it probably would result in a further substantial lessening of competition and an increased tendency toward monopoly. ... The District Court was correct in concluding that this merger may tend to lessen competition substantially ... The judgment is affirmed."

And how much market share did the two companies in question have?

"... the combined share of Brown and Kinney sales of women's shoes (by unit volume) exceeded 20%. In 31 cities -- some the same as those used in measuring the effect of the merger in the women's line -- the combined share of children's shoes sales exceeded 20%; in 6 cities, their share exceeded 40%. In Dodge City, Kansas, their combined share of the market for women's shoes was over 57%; their share of the children's shoe market in that city was 49%. In the 7 cities in which Brown's and Kinney's combined shares of the market for women's shoes were greatest (ranging from 33% to 57%), each of the parties alone, prior to the merger, had captured substantial portions of those markets (ranging from 13% to 34%); the merger intensified this existing concentration. In 118 separate cities, the combined shares of the market of Brown and Kinney in the sale of one of the relevant lines of commerce exceeded 5%. In 47 cities, their share exceeded 5% in all three lines."

Hmm, plenty of "thoughts and prayers" as I browse on my OpenBSD laptop, listening to DRM-free music I bought on Bandcamp... I used to be a Spotify subscriber, and I used to buy Apple products... both companies have treated me (and the rest of their customers) worse and worse over time, and I take my money elsewhere.
Fun fact, the idea of cellphones was "decades old" [0] in 1990 and not ready for prime time (clunky, not particularly useful outside of niche cases). Less than two more decades later, the iPhone came out and the entire world changed around them. VR is clearly still missing its "iPhone moment", and Meta is spending like hell to be the one to find it.

Full disclosure: I am (today) a VR nay-sayer, despite this comment.

Sorta. Meta is a component of the sp500. It’s pretty difficult to avoid buying that.
Fascinating! The algorithm, the story of the disk artifacts, the digital archeology, and the approach.
I still remember my parent´s home landline from 30+ years ago (long gone) but I have no idea of what is my current one or any other of the many I have had to have over years due to telecoms´ bundles.
They are not useful anymore, not even as a resilient second line since they are connected to the same fibre line. It is just a gimmick to extract a few more euros from the consumer.
Quoting the last two paragraphs of the blog post (cuz I think that's where the gist of this post lies):

> Research should never be driven by success, because the pursuit of it either disheartens, or beguiles, even the greatest of men. An ideal Research should truly ever be ignited by curiosity. It should be fueled by the desire to know. And it should be done for the pursuit of truth and truth alone, no matter what it is. Feynman investigated the curious wobbles only for the pure joy of satiation. And the rest, as they say, is history:

> "I went on to work out equations of wobbles. Then I thought about how electron orbits start to move in relativity. Then there’s the Dirac Equation in electrodynamics. And then quantum electrodynamics. And before I knew it (it was a very short time) I was “playing”–working, really –with the same old problem that I loved so much, that I had stopped working on when I went to Los Alamos: my thesis-type problems; all those old-fashioned, wonderful things.
It was effortless. It was easy to play with these things. It was like uncorking a bottle: Everything flowed out effortlessly. I almost tried to resist it! There was no importance to what I was doing, but ultimately there was. The diagrams and the whole business that I got the Nobel Prize for came from that piddling around with the wobbling plate."
That model (with record) would need me to come up with passwords and type them. Seems like a hassle and a security problem.
The website doesn't reflect it but I also tried building this for iPad and it works like a charm! This was a request from a user on Reddit and very useful.

The plan to release it to iPad is after I have released the first cut.
Any argument in favour of the iPhone being so locked down needs to contend with the fact that Macs are just as reliable, but far more configurable. All I want is the for the iPhone to be as open as a Mac. Let me run binaries signed by legit devs!
Things seem to be changing. We're with BT and would have had to pay a lot extra for a phone line.
The Quest has a fairly low refresh rate, which is one of the main barriers to delivering a product that doesn't make you sick.

Back when Carmack was leading the tech dev, they came out with a rule saying that they needed a working minimum of 90fps for MOST people to tolerate VR.

The Quest headset screens operate at 72hz, iirc.

What I don't get is how this wasn't thought up to be put into the SSL/TLS standard when it was built. How did we wind up with infinitely powered root certification authorities?

You’re right though. My 44” monitor for my living room was $550, but that only seems expensive compared to the ad-subsidized smart TVs.
There's an interesting implication here, which is that if SBF is enough of a charismatic con to make
otherwise sophisticated investors toss money around blind, wouldn't he also be able to work similar magic on otherwise sophisticated journalists?
I am with Vodafone and the standard broadband fee includes the landline.

But yes, there is still always a landline required and thus has to be priced in somehow.

Now they have deployed full fibre so I could ditch everything and move to that but that would be more expensive...
Reddit has ads in the browser. They can't send you notifications, though. At least for now. If the experience is better in the app (for you or for them) then clearly the browser is the limiting factor.

There's no "part about computers obviously not having intelligence"

The most grating part of the article is involving political names into the explanation of the argument, and that the writings by Liebniz and Dneprov seemingly would offer far more interesting material to base the topic on.

Wikipedia can be terrible source of misaligned atheist theology sometimes.
Norway also shut down their old radio network. Which was sad to me as a history nerd because I remember reading about the heroic people who smuggled radios in briefcases and in attics just to bring news to people during german occupation.
Getting old is like boiling the frog. You don't notice it happening, but every now and then something throws it into relief. Like, I met a friend from college a few days ago and while he's the same guy I met in '93, I saw his current image through the eyes of my 17 year old self: a fat, bald, middle-aged man with a grey beard and glasses. He looked like some of the people who fucking died when I was a kid (several kids at my school had a parent die 'around' our age).

But yeah, Bowie was a shock to me. It wasn't the same as with Presley, Lennon, Mercury or Cobain. You always knew that bad shit could happen to people. It's shocking when the spool just runs out for someone who was a rock star when you were in your teens.

That said, Bowie died young by today's standards. I don't think you could say the same for McVie. But then again, my old man is 96 in January. Drove a bloody steam train in his mid 20s. His knees are fucked, he needs to plan all his excursions around toilets and he's on heart pills. But he's still 100% fine "upstairs" and had a terrific memory for stuff that happened from the mid 1930s on. He got married in his mid 40s, and I was born when he was nearly 50. If I get his longevity genes and don't get hit by a truck, I'm only half way through the spool. But then again, all of his siblings and original school/work friends are dead, so our shock at McVie must seem as nothing to him.
I still have a landline at home that I basically never use, "just in case". When I had a co-worker over a few years ago he brought his ~8yo, and it was a similar story. A wired phone was totally fascinating for him. Never mind that cell phones are tiny, are powered from a battery and make your voice travel through the air to as far away as you want, and even make it possible to see the person you're taking to. No, that's normal and boring. But when I used that phone to call his dad who was over in the living room, he was completely amazed and told his dad that he's calling him with that wired phone in the kitchen.
I would do a regex to remove this text from the generated output.
As far as I know Forbes is just blogspam-as-a-franchise.
And that’s just another way to say the end justifies the means.

Note that, among other things, the power of “the end justifies the means” lies in how it is reductive.
