Part of what all that infrastructure addresses is the inherent insecurity of credit cards online. After trying out crypto, it kinda boggles my mind that we mostly do online purchases by giving merchants all the information they need to take whatever amount of money they want. If that information gets loose, we have no choice but to cancel the card and start over. That's a sad state of affairs, given that's it's been half a century since public key crypto was invented.

There are of course other issues that would still need to be addressed, like merchants sending fraudulent goods, but if we could build stuff to handle that on top of a foundation that's actually secure, we might be better off.
I agree and have never crated any of my animal friends. I hate those crates. So terrible!

> "We believe the best technology for our customers and for the planet is technology that lasts, which is why we design our products to be durable and rarely require maintenance or repair,” said Jeff Williams, Apple’s chief operating officer. “But when a repair is needed, we want customers to have many options for safe, reliable, and secure repair. That’s why we’re excited to launch Self Service Repair in Europe, giving our customers direct access to genuine Apple parts, tools, and manuals.”

Corporate PR doublespeak at its finest. My eyes rolled back into my head reading this.

"Technology that lasts" from a company who perfected planned obsolescence.

"Rarely require maintenance or repair" might've been their ethos decades ago, but nowadays there are plenty of dumb design and hardware issues. See Louis Rossman for examples.

"We want customers to have many options for safe, reliable, and secure repair" translates to "we were happy gouging customers for an AppleCare subscription, and fighting 3rd party repair shops, until governments introduced pesky consumer rights and anti-competitive laws".

But great, let's celebrate all mighty Apple finally doing what they should've been doing all along, _in one region of the world where they're legally obligated to do so_.
But also, one of Ethereum's biggest risks is having a leader.

Vitalik and the Ethereum Foundation are a dangerous point of centralization that at least expose it to risk of harsher regulation in the near future for years operating as an unregistered security. The SEC has already hinted at this, while the CFTC has indicated that only bitcoin is likely to be regulated as a commodity.

Beyond the governmental risk of Ethereum having a clear head with a throat to choke, there's the simple "hit by a bus" risk. Vitalik is just a single human, and his unexpected death could lead to a massive collapse of confidence from both investors and developers who have other options. It wouldn't completely die with him, but it would be a major setback, because the cult of Vitalik is a not insignificant part of Ethereum.

"For the last several decades society put massive pressure on kids to conform to heteronormativity. With these pressures lessening more and more people are feeling empowered to explore their sexuality."

Yes, you can accuse me of what-about-ism. I still think and have always thought that while one's very allowed to gaze back at themselves, it is better done in private or amongst friends. Doing so in public never elegant, IMO.

> Human attention spans on symbols, the more succinct the code is, the more meaning it can encompass in the same number of characters.

I could make it even more succinct by LZW compressing it. That would not improve comprehension, though...
> Research assumes a lot of things, like how the future will go.

The current expectations are based on many decades of data, when humanity did nothing to stop the climate change. Even starting to act right now will not have quick consequences, and even this is not really happening. Act of God could indeed change that, but I would not rely on it for my plans.

> climate change that won't happen anytime soon

For you it won't, but for your kids it will happen soon enough and may be devastating. Many other kids are already born and lack parental care. What forces you to care for your own kids only? Instincts? From the logic, all genes are already present in sufficient quantities, so it's not necessary to preserve your own ones.

> Nothing I do will change the fact that life will change and they'll need to adapt in various ways.

Do you believe that you actions do not affect the future? Sounds a bit like learned helplessness.
The exact same ambiguity happens when you take your car to a mechanic, and yet that industry is perfectly capable of giving estimates, posting shop rates, having deterministic markup on parts that come from a more efficient market, etc - ie "time and materials".

The only "Chesterton's Fence" here is the cancer of medical billing fake jobs. For every non-urgent service, if there is no up-front contract with well-defined consideration, there should be absolutely zero legal basis for a provider to demand payment. Something tells me the healthcare industry would magically find the ability to discuss prices ahead of time real quick.

Each of those condo forests house more people than the mile of suburban housing surrounding them.

What are you even saying? If you have some personal vendetta against Vitalik maybe you should go hash it out with him instead of putting it on other people?
Yeah seriously. Remote work is nothing new. It's been picking up steam, the pandemic just accelerated the shit out of it. The people/investors/whatever that bought these buildings for commercial purposes made a gamble and didn't prepare for the future. That's on them, not remote work. If I go buy a gas-guzzling Porsche today and its price depreciates to nothing because a sudden influx of more efficient and performant electric cars are released, that's on me for making a bad investment and not observing the trends.

This reminds of when I worked for Hollywood Video Corporate (video rental business) in 2010 and the VP was telling us that brick and mortar video rental would eventually beat back streaming media. Every indicator was suggesting a different path and they chose to ignore it. They're gone now, streaming media is here to stay. Remote work is here to stay.

If the argument here is that they should be allowed to violate research ethics in order to get 10% faster at letting paralyzed people walk, I think it's fair to point out that they way they're conducting research seems to be fairly sloppy and probably isn't actually giving them the productivity/efficiency boost that their defenders claim.

thefounder here argues that running experiments in parallel is a moral obligation because we need to get Neuralink out the door as quickly as possible. capableweb responds by arguing that Neuralink's current strategy isn't the fastest way to get that research done. I don't see that as an isolated demand for rigor, I think that's a reasonable objection to the idea that the need to be perfectly efficient outweighs animal ethics.
I don't know all of the details of what's cause and effect, unfortunately.
> The flaw isn't that it's biased, it's just that its creators say that it is unbiased

Where, precisely, does OpenAI claim that ChatGPT is unbiased?

ChatGPT obviously has biases from its training data, and a separate set of biases from the filters OpenAI has (not at all secretly) placed over it to avoid content that OpenAI doesn’t want it to return.
Yeah apps for pilots also came to mind, though I took a look and ForeFlight was $400/year on the iOS store, not a one-time fee.
AI will definitely eventually allow one person to perform the work that would take 100 today, and more. It's pretty easy to see the path there by extrapolating from what's happening in image/video diffusion models right now, and the language models have shown that they can task generalize well into basic problem solving, to the extent that a problem is similar to something that has been solved many times before. Simple tools built using the models of today could easily double the productivity of an artist or writer, so we're somewhere between 1 and 2 orders of magnitude off, which seems very achievable to me given the progress of the last 50 years.
My kid really took to Scratch last year when he was 6. We got a Raspberry Pi 400 and reading the manual he saw a full chapter on Python. Now when I'm working, he'll come by and say "hey! that's Python!"

Conveniently, the [turtle module](https://docs.python.org/3/library/turtle.html) comes built-in and he also got to draw some fun patterns after reading the "Secret Coders" comic book series. It's really fascinating to see him develop his mental models.
Give me an option to search for "no ads" in an app, or give me nothing. I've simply stopped buying iOS apps because I'm done with the ad loads.
It would be cheaper to just desalinate it.

Of course Arizona doesn't really have that option. But California does, and Arizona already sources water from the Colorado River, which California does too.

Anyways. I think moving California off the Colorado River would do a lot to ease the water problems in the southwest.
Active noise cancelling earphones.

It's actually not a gimmick at all and perfectly safe and healthy.
Passive earphones that have strong isolation like the Etymotics are just not comfortable for me and the isolation doesn't work as well with bass which can be incredibly irritating in some situations.

I'm just annoyed at the disposable aspect of the object. Theses rarely last longer than a couple of years from what I understood.
As someone who was on the R&D Infotainment team on the US side of one of the big Japanese manufacturers, I had many heated debates with management over these "features," which became a big enough deal for me that it was one of the main reasons I left the company. The executive suite on the American side R&D were always pushing these dubious features for the underlying data underneath. This was masked as "value" for the customer, but it's mostly a smokescreen so that the manufacturer can sell the data on the open market. There is a large Silicon Valley/MBA influence when it comes to data and how to monetize it.

One may or may not be surprised of the philosophies here - the idea is to monetize the vehicle and data every step of the way. The data doesn't belong to the customer even though they bought the car. Given the pervasiveness I saw at this specific company and it's software suppliers, I would assume every supplier and manufacturer for newer model vehicles are doing this now.

I'm a little old-ish school. At this point just give me a bluetooth connection that always works with my phone and I'm good. These newer vehicles are basically just another mobile phone on wheels, riddled with bugs and data collection services. No thanks.
I would imagine any medical app/ERP/etc. would have creative ways to get users to not make a one-time purchase via the App Store. Although certain interpretations of the rules might mean they have to offer App Store signup as an option.
I haven't used C++ pass-by-reference in years, but I'd recognize the syntax. Perhaps the interviewer just wasn't very good.
"This becomes magnified if the founder doesn’t have the skill to produce and operate the automation their business depends on"

While that's true, I think it also pushes the profile of the ideal founder much more to the technical side than where it is now.

Creating and maintaining automations is inherently difficult-to-impossible to fully automate, and will likely always require some level of engineering skill.

Conversely, many of the most important skills a "business founder" brings to the table are also the most ripe for automation. Marketing, sales, administrative tasks, investor pitches, support, accounting: all have the potential to be automated to a large degree by AI.
> you need look no further than the comment I criticized. It doesn't say, heterosexuality is prevalent; it says, heterosexuality is total

That comment actually said "heterosexuality is normal", which is of course ambiguous - it could mean either of "prevalent" or "not merely prevalent but standard, with deviations from it being seen as undesirable". Heteronormativity might be a description of the latter claim, but to deny that heterosexuality is especially common would be mere wishful thinking.

The claim that gender and sexual orientation are linked would've been quite recognizable to ancient cultures including classical Greece and Rome, where heterosexual behavior was not normative and other sexual arrangements were often celebrated (though their dark, exploitive side, linked to the ubiquity of rape culture as purposeful male domination, was not unrecognized either; and this later fed into Christian condemnation of such practices). So it makes little sense to view that as "heteronormative" either.
Let’s not pretend that the App Store is full of Indy “makers”. It came out in the Epic trial that 85% of App Store revenue came from slimy pay to win games and loot boxes.
> deep cloning of data with simple assignment a = b;

Errr, wat? We seem to have very different understandings of "deep" in this context. Neither of the above are "deep" in the sense that pointers within the struct will not be followed with their referenced data copied/compared. These are shallow operations.
This is completely wrong.

IAP is fine when I as a user am not sure.

To install, try and pay is as easy as to pay, install, and try

To install, try and uninstall is much easier then to pay, install, try, uninstall, and ask for the money back, if the latter us even supported.

What's really bothersome is no option to pay and remove ads. A subscription may be more costly but it's at least honest, and UX is not annoying.
How can it be that anyone in the world falls for this anymore? My daughter recognized this obvious pattern when she was 7 years old: "It's $5, dad, why don't they just say $5?" I wonder if pricing something at $4.99 have anything more than a vague subliminal effect these days?
It sounds like you're saying that early employees and founders have a similar level of rush, but vastly different levels of reward.

Sure, that makes sense.

We should also acknowledge that it costs money to deliver and we live in a resource constrained world.
It started out as every 12 months in the original 1965 article which lasted for about a decade before being updated to 18 months, and relatively recently people started talking 24 months.

Maybe it's licensing? I can imagine copyright holders being squeamish about Apple processing, permanently storing, and serving heavily altered versions of their music. The difference is silly and pedantic, but by processing it in real-time during playback, one might argue it's just a filter effect like EQ.
I find Apple devices have outlasted similar caliber devices from Google or Samsung. Obviously, they all can suffer from battery issues over time, but everything from physical build quality to software updates seems to last.

Who pays for the infrastructure?

I can drive 10 times faster with good roads because a public sector maintain and build road infrastructure. If that enables me to earn 100 times more am I then entitles to the entire profits? Or should I pay some of it forward to the infrastructure.

I like the idea that innovation advantages should spill over to the rest of the society with the speed of inflation. Given an inflation of ~2% it should take me roughly 50 years to not gain any profits from my innovation (given no competition).

Who would you like to appoint as an arbiter for what "valuable work is"? If certain people enjoy and pay women to fart in their faces - would you like to ban that? How about other "useless" activities that humans enjoy like video games or massages or fashion or fancy restaurants - would you like to ban those as well?
> There's a reason Apple's preferring on-device processing: user privacy.

Is that the actual reason though? My personal impression has been that it's a combination of reasons that benefit Apple. The increased user privacy being a nice bonus for users, but not the primary reason:

1. Producing phones powerful enough for on-device ML both justifies the high price point to the general public and is a good marketing point (along with increased user privacy)

2. Avoid backend infrastructure costs. Why spend extra money on servers, maintenance, and compliance when they can just offload the work to the devices themselves since they're capable?

3. Bonus: The unplanned obsolescence for new features like the one announced is also a side effect that benefits Apple.

I do not get the impression that Apple's primary focus is to benefit users and their privacy.
