I disagree that something like this could have been an oversight. A designer spent time coming up with the new animation, it was approved by somebody in a project management role, and engineers had to spend time implementing the new feature.

Apple has an intense culture of dogfooding, so it would surprise me very much if someone in a leadership position didn't experience the new page-flipping animation, much less explicitly approve its design.
yah, the documentary is as much about david cope, the human composer, as it is about the algorithmic work. to me, the human is an integral part of AI creativity. that’s because it’s the human who evaluates the value of the work, and AI is far from being able to model the vast heterogeneity of human evaluation (for the foreseeable future).
Of course, right after I get locked out of the account I had since I was a teenager (and years of encryption advocacy) both gmail and icloud roll out changes that I wanted back in 2009.

Too little, too late, we will never regain what was lost.
I have calculated salary costs alone to be 30m a month at least. Could also be up to 80m, though, I have used the most conservative calculation I could reasonably come up with.

Then comes office infrastructure, if any and cloud assets.
The size of a team working on one product at a large company has nothing to do with the size of the company or its real estate budget.

Sure, they could put more people on any particular project, if they thought it was important. But that's not necessarily going to make a UI decision any better.

Nobody outside Apple is likely to know how these decisions were made. We just see the results.
For single-player games, I doubt it matters if there are unpatched vulnerabilities.
Like with politics. Everyone notices leader visiting places after disaster while no-one can notice if one was prevented.
This happens to me, too! If I read a physical book I can easily recall the author and the title months and even years later. But when I read digital books I often struggle to remember a book’s name and have to look it up if I want to recommend it to someone.
He's referring to marx belief in the "tendency for the rate of profit to fall" which is literally objectively wrong and the opposite of it is accepted within economics.

This is the accepted explanation, which implies that the rate of profit rises over time

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okishio%27s_theorem

Btw, marx predicted that capitalism is inevitably destroyed due to tendency for the rate of profit to fall. I believe capitalism is the strongest that it's ever been right now.
Sounds like Apple gave you a way to solve your problem. Personally, I like the animations, but I'm glad users have the option to turn them on and off as they wish.
As I understand it, N2 would have you quietly fall asleep before death, whereas CO2 would have you in pain and terror until your end, since our asphyxiation detection system only accounts for additional CO2, not the lack of oxygen. I expect you meant just CO there?
Italian health care costs 125B€ per year, defense costs about 26B, pensions about 300B. We already spend an insane amount of money, everything else is peanuts, including defense, which btw will have to be increased thanks to russian invasion.

I’ve also seen morale being slowly killed by people who _thought_ they were doing this, but were _actually_ just argumentative defeatists.

I don’t think Carmack - or the engineer you describe - is likely to be one of these - but anyone hoping to emulate them should be conscious of what they’re doing.
None of this stuff is hand-wavy. There is just no mandate to do structural change because voters vote for things that are directly opposed to each other, and there is no political leadership to actually push this through without voters. For example, healthcare...Javid did an interview the other day where he said explicitly...it is not possible to reform this, the public don't want it but the system is collapsing (and, ofc, this plays into Labour's hands...this is the only area they are strong on despite Streeting seeming to advocate for every position simultaneously).

You have quoted transport and local govt. Both relatively complex areas.

The main structural change in transport is linked to the planning system. All environmental assessments need to be removed, appeals processes need to be time-limited, lawyers removed totally, and (very likely) you need to remove all planning authority from local govt. This is probably the toughest area because central govt will fuck it up, but you could un-delegate it and then re-delegate to a new local body (but not like education pre-academies, it would be something like local infrastructure bodies that raised money from local taxes).

Local govt...where to begin. Social care needs to be moved out, likely some degree of tax devolution, planning needs to be moved out, massive levels of waste...I have not actually seen how this gets solved because unions and nepotism is so embedded (the Tories introduced new disclosure requirements, the media just don't seem to report this stuff...you can see massive levels of not only waste but what looks like graft...nothing), more powers for councils to create economic growth locally (the lobby group against this goes to the heart of govt, some councils like Warrington have created massive growth locally with so few powers...the Civil Service is violently opposed to this)...big picture is: remove powers that have externalities (healthcare, planning) and hand over economic powers (one idea would be local corporation tax).

Reform and SDP are specific. But what people don't understand is that "reduce wasteful spending" is specific...everyone knows the area in which money is wasted. But what they don't say is quite simple: you try to reduce spending, the civil service unions will stop all work across all departments immediately, they are militant. If you look at what is happening at Home Office or Justice, no-one is explicit about that because, frankly, voters don't want to hear it. That is what "structural change" means...the Home Office needs to be burned to the ground (and btw, the Tories have been trying this, the Border Force is still failing...the public doesn't realise that their senior management has been put on measures multiple times, they have brought people in from the MoD, the army...nothing works, they literally restructured the whole thing to get it away from the Home Office MULTIPLE times...it still doesn't work).

But there is masses of very specific policies in every area that can change things. The problem isn't politicians but that there is no mandate (largely due to Labour successfully selling the public repeatedly on bags of magic beans).

> "Eh, just let Google have a monopoly. Competing is too much work."

You're acting like it's somehow cowardly not to take on one of the most powerful and infinitely-resourced companies on Earth in an area that they would be happy to lose money on.

And without that competition, google has no real reason to improve maps, and no reason not to degrade maps in support of their other products (if a strategy to do that occurs to them.)

The reason people aren't competing with maps is because they don't want to flush money down the toilet.
It doesn’t sound as cliche as you think — in my opinion the problem is prioritizing yourself over your productivity.

I’m a geneticist with a unique set of analytical skills that keeps me tied up in dozens of projects at a time, and my health is always the thing I let slide.

Whenever I finally decide to workout, I tell myself, “I’ll never let that much time go by between workouts again.” Then invariably, I don’t have time.

How did you overcome that?
Maybe it would be better if you worked alone then. The advice you are responding to is much better.
University of Toronto has a huge network of these, however after a series of tunnel exploration exploits they pretty much created a gated access system.

These dumb things emerge because of two forces: first, the promotion game of people trying to get theirs. Second, price's law.

Price's law is what constrains scope, and the boundary between engineers can often be the luck of having the right opportunity. As such, all the stupid things emerge trying to invent scope. I'm guilty of this, but that was the game.

There is no solution except accept that big companies kind of suck and are slow.
There is no way that the change was due to performance. The old page flipping animation was delightful, but in no way computationally significant on iPhones even 5 years ago.
But if you accept a bit of carbon emission from the peaker plants it can play reasonably well with solar in warm climates.

You can also make some uses of renewables demand-dependent. Consider desalinization--uses a lot of power. Let's redesign our desalinization plant a bit: Put in a big seawater holding pond, it must be several hundred feet above the actual plant. Now, make the pumps considerably bigger than you need. When the grid has extra energy you use that energy to run the pumps and fill up the pond. When the grid doesn't have extra energy the pumps turn off.

The actual plant works on pressure, not power (it's a glorified version of the reverse osmosis system a lot of us have under our kitchen sink--and note that the kitchen sink systems don't even plug in at all.) So long as there's water in the pond it's happy, power use is low. Thus you can run your plant 24/7 off an intermittent supply of power.

This isn't the only heavy use situation where intermittent supply isn't a big handicap. What you need is a power grid that broadcasts (probably down it's wires) realtime information as to what the electric rate is and the users set their machinery up to optimize for that.
Free speech is not a legal concept. The most cited example of speech being used to harm others is shouting "Fire" in crowded theatre and people dying in the stampede to leave. There is no legal protection for doing so. Speech has consequences, sometimes benign, sometimes not.
There are several places to go where I live and it's hilariously fun. I equate it to sorta like bowling: a social sport you don't have to be really good at to try and enjoy... but with a slight bit more danger ;)
Hopefully. (I heard this in the early 2000s, from someone who'd worked at Apollo.)

For awhile after then, I could imagine some HP account manager for Boeing being able to pull some strings to get the patch, even if it was from another division. And since HP got DomainOS onto an HP 9000/4xx post-Apollo-acquisition, I'd guess that HP probably retained the code and know-how for awhile.

(Though I couldn't guess how long they kept their Domain lab systems around, especially if there were business reasons to push customers to HP-UX on HP-PA, rather than gouge a handful of people who'd still pay support contracts for Domain. I've seen companies run sustaining engineering labs for a while, but then eventually discard key tooling, like the test rigs for a product, which irreversibly marks the end of that, even if the engineers are still on-staff.)

I wonder whether HPE now has the Apollo/Domain IP, or who has it?
I recently started getting hugs and kisses from my 2 year old daughter when I pick her up from daycare. She still likes her mother more than me but at least she started tolerating me instead of crying as she did before. :D

I had the same "issue" with my son which is older. The issues went away after some time after we started to communicate (using words).

Kids are great.
I would think the fact that annual bonuses are often paid early in the new year is a big factor in this as well.

Well, thank you for exposing for me the fact that there's a difference between abstract insight, and an insight as a definite object. I hadn't noticed that before, and now I think about it, it's not obvious to me that the two are closely-related.

So sure: an insight can be conveyed in writing. And I suppose that if that's true, it doesn't matter where the writing came from.

Worm: What is the secret of enlightenment, Master?

At that moment, Worm gained insight.
> Walk people towards the decision you want using a Socratic method and then let them take the credit for the decision making.

I've been trying really hard to do this. It is an impressive hack when you can pull it off.

If you have gigantic egos on your team, then getting everyone in agreement can often be expedited with a little bit of inception. My own ego is the biggest reason I have difficulty engaging in the socratic technique. And, as you note there are definitely cases where you kind of have to beat the sense into everyone else.

I am at a point where I kind of don't give a shit about the intermediate decisions and exact correctness anymore. I am far more interested in getting further down the product roadmap and seeing my entire vision unfold. Money has almost become a secondary concern to me. As long as the appropriate steps are taken, I don't even care if my name is on it anymore.

It is a lot easier to move an elephant when it performs of its own volition. The most advanced and effective forms of people management seem to involve manipulation of egos.
yeah. this was disappointing. I hope to get used to it, but for the moment it really detracts from my very enjoyable little stolen dad moments here and there reading Ian McKuen on my phone at a bar. feels like I'm reading a xeroxed copy of a book.
Fun thing I came up with with my daughter. Our own secret communication. She could hold my hand and squeeze once for yes, twice for no. So for example, if her mom and I were discussing where to eat lunch, she could squeeze once on the place she wanted, twice on places she didn't. She expanded on it in time.
The books have notoriously rich plots, which is why they were deemed unfilmable.

There was a lot left unsaid in the film to keep it concise and uncomplicated for a viewer like you who hasn't read the books. (Perhaps it was an overcorrection.) The director would occasionally reduce a long meandering sideplot to a quick distrustful glance from one of the characters. Someone who's read the book would pick up on it and feel like it did the book justice by acknowledging those events rather than cutting them out entirely, and the film doesn't burden viewers who haven't read the book with an impossibly hard to follow plot crammed into 2 hours.
Nothing to do with crypto and TFA:

I disliked working with Deloitte at my first real job, i thought they were asking too much details and putting some useless constraints that had nothing to do with opsec in real life, and that we (me and the manager) had to lightly bullshit through.

Then I worked at a big bank, with an internal audit team, and tbh, I think retrospectively working with Deloitte was the best experience I could have, they are really professional and their price is less surprising to me now. Looking back, i just didn't know better.
> But it is also the lack of legit opportunities to invest

I think you mean lack of legit opportunities to get rich quick, which is not a new phenomenon. Getting rich quick requires a lot of luck.
As good as apple hardware devs are its software devs are the same in the other direction.
There would be an actual miscalculation, yes. which is a really annoying kind of bug, also because these jit bugs tend to go away if you turn the debugger on, making them even more frustrating to track down.

The ones we found so far are all extremely unlikely to occur in 'regular' Python code, because they require the use of internal pypy specific numerical operations.
A democratic or consensus-based approach to making decisions can be even slower though, which is when it’s handy to have a dictator.
>..and instead of commenting on the project, you complain that it doesn't have the libraries you need for your job.
>Brilliant!

Aaai I guess the my tone got lost via the internet :/
That is why I made sure to compliment the author/project twice in the beginning and in the end.

1)>>Very cool... and congrats.... I know its still early...,

2)>> Again congratulations on getting this far, been keeping an eye on it every now and again.

I am assuming, at some point the authors would want their project to be used by some people ? If I were one of those people, the above is what I would need.

I guess the internet and my 2nd-lang-english, might have made me came out "rude" ? But I assure you it was really just "positive-feedback" and my honest opinion !

These types of executions are why I have great fear for the future and AI. You are taking data from a "confident idiot" and parsing as truth. The output of GTP-3 or any of these models is not clean data or truth, but in many cases appears to be truthy. Systems built on this foundation are (at least given current state of the art models) inherently built on bad data (and many times hard to identify as bad, bad data).

explain why 2+2+1-2+1=5 as a math teacher
Sure! When we perform arithmetic operations, we follow a set of rules known as the order of operations. These rules dictate the order in which we should perform the operations in an arithmetic expression in order to obtain the correct result.

The order of operations is as follows:

Perform all operations inside parentheses or other grouping symbols first.
Perform all multiplications and divisions (starting from left to right).
Perform all additions and subtractions (also starting from left to right).
Now, let's apply these rules to the expression 2+2+1-2+1. First, there are no parentheses or other grouping symbols, so we move on to the next step.

Next, we perform all multiplications and divisions, but there are none.

Finally, we perform all additions and subtractions, also starting from left to right. This gives us the following:

2 + 2 + 1 - 2 + 1
4 - 2 + 1
2 + 1
3

Therefore, the result of the expression 2+2+1-2+1 is 3.

I hope this helps to clarify the matter. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Yeah, that's my current project, already found a bunch of missing small features in the optimizers.

I've hoped for a while that LLVM's support for such targets would improve, but maybe the ubiquity of ARM microcontrollers makes that more unlikely now. There is an AVR target for example, but in my attempt to use Rust on an AVR I ran into several incorrectness bugs - and newer versions of LLVM are plain broken [0]. There is also an MSP430 backend but I've never had an excuse to play around with that...

Maybe the libgccjit backend for Rust will solve the specific scenario I was interested in, but it doesn't improve anything for LLVM itself.

There's a lot wrapped in it: discomfort, uneasiness, and determination. It's made impact from the day-to-day life level (trying new things I wouldn't have before) to the large life-scale (quitting my job to pursue my startup).

Ultimately, you just gotta go for it.

sustained, organized indentured servitude was a fact of work life in many populated parts of the world for more than a thousand years, and is found today in most military structures, hotels and casinos, for example. Here, a working definition of "far-Right" is, descendants of those that enable hierarchical work structures parallel to indentured work, with control & reward structures associated with that.
> It doesn’t make sense for them to leave such a basic feature behind, especially since iBooks is a front end to a revenue stream.

The basic features they butchered/implemented for the "front end to revenue stream":

- jarring animation that cannot be turned off

- scrolling is now relegated to a weird small control in settings that has no relation to the actual book you're reading

- "lock orientation" locks orientation in portrait mode

- accessing table of contents is now three taps

- accessing font settings is now three taps

- table of contents + scrolling + searchig + themes + scroll lock + bookmarks ... all of that is accessed through a tiny gray icon that is nearly indistinguishable from surrounding text. Also, this icon is unique, and has never been used anywhere in iOS or MacOS

- closing a book is now a tiny gray x that is almost indistinguishable from the text

All this passed design -> design approval -> engineering managers -> programmers -> qa -> launch check lists.

By the way, when it launched in iOS 16, the close icon and the "kitchen sink" icon would always pe present, they only fixed it a month or two later.

Yup. This is the state of a "frontend to the revenue stream". Done and approved by people who have never read a single book on iOS (and MacOS where it was also butchered), or perhaps have never read a single book in their life, period.

Edit: their animation is also "least effort" attempt: they hide page numbers when animation, then it takes up to two seconds for them to reappear.
