No can do, and frankly is a _very_ reductive stock response.

Anyone working with Date Times more than even months into the future will have pain. Politics will mess you up. You've made a reservation for 16:00 at that fancy pants restaurant with a 6 month waiting list. But now the government have decided that Daylight Savings are too much hassle, and suddenly your 16:00 reservation is off by an hour (or whatever the DS shift is for your region.)

Then there is industry specific scenarios - logistics for example. They know the plane is landing at 18:00, but we haven't confirmed the TZ yet. Not because the airport doesn't know what timezone it is, but because the carrier hasn't confirmed which airport they are landing at. They just know it's at 18:00. DateTime is utterly terrible with "unknown"
> Being real for a minute: There is definitely a perspective among hiring companies that regular lay offs are sometimes packaged alongside bottom performers, but I think that is something they would just do diligence on during an interview process.

Not sure what you mean here. I know of companies that lay off entire teams, irrespective of performance. I suspect that it's the same everywhere.

Not everyone has a 16:9 monitor, so super wide views don’t work for me.

And that is the main problem, new designer shows up and doesn’t bother to implement the previous layout or workflow. Effectively hobbling the interface when all us real users wanted were bug fixes.

Hopefully won’t happen this time.
In some cultures, this is the way. You live by their side (or they with you) till their last moments. Where I am from, old people in the family are generally considered a blessing. Same is for parents. Taking care of parents/grand parents is part of process/life.

What I have understood of western culture is that independence has a very high value. Even when parents/grand parents are old and weak, they still want to stay independent or let their children remain independent. And children probably think that its best for old and weak parents/grand parents to get better care in dedicated places.

Where I am from, they would prefer being with their kids at that stage rather than being sent somewhere away from everyone they knew. There are care homes for people, but generally for different reasons (abandonment because of poverty or other domestic issues as I remember seeing an interview).
> Faster performance today means longer lasting tomorrow.

And more importantly to me, longer lasting tomorrow tends to mean longer official OS support. At least for Apple devices.
The whole experience the last few years has taught me a valuable lesson about how simple and reactive all of these tech companies are. No one really knows what they are doing. Other than a very few special people, most of the leaders at these major tech companies are not super-geniuses. They are human like the rest of us and subject to all that it means... Irrational, over-reactive, subject to the whims of the stock market, etc...

I was a young kid during the dotcom bubble and in highschool during the '08 downturn so I wasn't really aware of the macroenomocic trends in the industry then, but now that I am older and deeply invested in the tech economy it's so obvious.
Relevant legislation (say, GDPR) says nothing specific about cookies, just about using client-side state. Granted, relevant legislation also says privacy should be the default, and that you can't coerce people into accepting loss of privacy.

Anyways, that would then need to use a, say, "local storage banner" for most intrusive tracking and we're back to square one.
And if it doesn’t? I think the point that poster was making is that it’s likely their tool matches what they’re reporting. It’s their actually service that is different

You see, it's Microsoft's point of view that no longer we own a system and are the administrative users of it, but Microsoft by its ClippyAI uses us as a system for their needs and they are the administrative users of their lowly subjects.

The fact that you watch videos, open programs and earn a living and lay out files on the PC is merely collateral, they see it's a necessary accident to keep you on the line and plug into your essence to try to drain it.

Let's repurpose PC to mean either Piece of Crap or Post-Computers depending on how we react to the new establishment.

> Though insulin generally costs less than $10 per dose to produce, some versions of the drug have a list price above $200. This is in part because, in the US, a warped market has allowed three companies to dominate the insulin business.

> With California leading the way, a handful of states are considering trying to disrupt the market for essential medications, starting with insulin. The plan would be to manufacture and sell insulin themselves for a price that is roughly equivalent to the cost of production.

I feel like I'm missing something here. My understanding of why insulin is so expensive: laws are created and enforced by the government preventing people from competing in the space.

If you try to make your own insulin, and you take it to market with 3rd party analysis and certification of it being medical grade (and safe) insulin, you'll start seeing an escalation of the state against you. First angry letters from lawyers and eventually, if you continue head strong and ignore everyone telling you to stop, government officials (possibly with guns) will come and forcibly shut you down.

Is California just going to ignore these laws? How will the state not be liable for damages when individuals are?

I'm all in favor of revoking the legal structures that pick the winners in this market. It seems like there are plenty of people passionate in this space that would/could make insulin at near-cost if permitted to.

It's just that, by my understanding, it's the government that doesn't permit them to. It's weird that people in the government (at the state level) are stepping in to do what people in the government (at the federal, but possibly also the state level?) won't let people in the market do.

Edit: substituting “intellectual property laws” with “laws” as it seems there’s more to it than just IP.

I am responding again today, one day after I left my other post under this response that I made to you.

Today, the House voted UNANIMOUSLY, 419-0, to condemn China's balloon surveillance program as a “brazen violation” of U.S. sovereignty, a rare and swift bipartisan rebuke of Beijing as questions mount about the craft the U.S. says was part of a vast aerial spy program.

“This resolution, I believe, sends a clear bipartisan signal to the CCP and our adversaries around the world that this action will not be tolerated,” said Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, referring to the Chinese Communist Party.

Are every single one of the House, D and R, wrong and you are right? I'm pretty sure the Senate would vote the same way.

"In a Congress riven by partisan splits, the shared anxiety over China's stealthy balloon surveillance program and the reach of the Beijing's global military and economic force provided an unusual opening for bipartisan agreement in the debate."

I am extremely interested in your response.

This. Keep up the good work.
What OS are you using and where are you seeing this?
The S23 Ultra has a Qualcomm CPU (Snapdragon 8 gen 2), which is manufactured on TSMC 4 nm. The iPhone 12 uses an Apple A14, manufactured on TSMC 5 nm.

This is more about Qualcomm being uncompetitive performance-wise, which has been true pretty much since the start of the smartphone wars.
The roots aren't "doubling their capacity". They're not doing anything resembling doubling their capacity. The only thing that "doubled" is a line on a graph. If your conception of the root servers is that they're generally redlining and we're just scraping by with the capacity we need for current load: no. If we don't have a shared understanding of the facts here, we can't have a productive discussion about this topic.

> getting frustrated at your bugged technology because the parent company decides it can save some money

It doesn't even save money - the cost is just shifted from subscription expenses to lower dev team productivity. Management can't measure the latter as easily as the former, and arguing against switching is a much more complex argument to understand than "this number is bigger than that one".
Will be interesting to see what happens when the market starts lifting again and all these companies who are scoring people at a discount suddenly are struggling to keep them. 33% drop is significant in an economy that is squeezing the rank and file with higher interest rates.

(this is all presuming the profession isn't in the process of downgrading to a trade level as a result of constant pressure to remove humans from high value work)

Depends on what 'wealth' means here, but you can get a 1% salary in England in your late 20s by contracting in tech and save several grand a month. Put that in shares & buy-to-lets and you'll be very well off by 40 compared to the average person. With the lower cost of living I don't see any issues here... If that's what drives you of course.

I'm not an accounting nor a forecasting expert, but I'm comfortable theorizing that the current quarter's financials of a company doesn't necessarily dictate its next moves.

Indeed, not allowing for remote work is a considerable blocker for many candidates.
With subscription models for their apis depending on the use scenario. That could be one reason they opened the service, to see what people are using it for in order to later build services around those use cases.

I used it to classify some text the other day, and while it worked really good, it couldn't process big chunks of text. If they offered a pricing model per million characters I'd gladly pay it.
It's rare to start "engineering" non-trivial projects right out of college. Experience is very important to software engineering. So while one may be able to get a "software engineering" degree, typically one starts out working as a programmer, UI designer, help-desk, tech writer/documenter, and/or tester. Thus, education for the first step of this journey should be planned out also.
what choice is that? firefox or chrome based skins? a duopoly is not a choice.

however silly it is, apple's silly browser rule is the only thing standing in full on chrome monoculture.

chrome is the new ie.
I agree that they are stuck in a bind, for sure, and they are definitely causing a recession in order to stave off the larger dragon/danger of inflation.

Also agree it's largely due to QE! I think the only thing I find weird enough to pause and think "huh, that's weird" is the timing. Labor gets market power and oh wow, we better fight inflation.

Maybe it just all happened at the same time and COVID caused it to bubble over. Just seems weird timing to me.
Of course, if they leaked the model weight’s and a local inference binary for it they would lose the ability to charge for it. Clones with the weights would crop up all over the place.
> 40x more every year

Am I reading this right? Are you saying that each decade, the California freeway department multiplies their budget by a quadrillion? If their budget was $1 in 2013, they would now be spending more money than there exists in the world? I'm going to request a source for that.
The explosive success of VSCode reveals that this is not true.
Interesting! I assumed it was the annual Exynos rag, but I guess I thought wrong. Definitely seems like the onus falls on Qualcomm this time.
> Sad to hear it's gone all bloatware since those days.

If they're basically stacked on top of 90% of firefox (which is how I understand it to work), then it's not necessarily TB's fault. It's like writing a tiny app on top of a framework that gets bloated.
It is biased towards passively cooled CPUs. It's dev once stated in an interview that they tried to recreate the typical bursty usage patterns of mobile phones, and therefore the added little pauses between the tasks.
Yes, and today, to render mails, you need a web engine. Unless you only want to deal with text email but that comes from with its fair share of tradeoffs, including the occasional unreadable email in text… which you'll open in a web browser.

And as a mail client you'd better follow the security fixes of the web engine you are using.

I guess not everyone is willing to use an old web engine derived from an old version of Word and maintain this thing for the eternity.

> "accurate information" is their highest expectation

The point is, "accurate information" is hard. Google's solution is snippets and while it might be fine for some cases, it fails terribly for others. There is zero guarantee an AI-based solution would be more precise, but for sure it will be way more confident - just like ChatGPT is.
If you're interested, I explained my argument in more detail in a sibling to this comment.

> As far as I'm concerned, the LLMs can't just hide the needle in the haystack and then say "well we aren't infringing so long as you don't find the needle".

I think that GPT 3.5 is capable of significantly more creativity than you're claiming here. Not consistently, and certainly not in the realm of legal writing. But it can compose cute little original stories in mostly grammatical Latin, stories that exist nowhere on the Internet. And the related model used by Copilot can write code using newly-created, unpublished APIs.

> To be more clear, when a human goes to a museum and looks at art, or lets say, studies it in university, I don't think what happens in the brain is in any way analogous to what happens when these models are "trained".

As I argue in the sibling comment, I strongly suspect that GPT models have stumbled across a weaker cousin of one of the major tricks underlying raw human creativity. Current LLMs can't "think", nor can they edit, introspect, persist, or have any non-trivial goals. They can't even grasp the difference between truth and confabulation. But I do think that they can create. And that the processes by which they do so are not entirely alien to what our brains do.

> However, single-core performance is generally considered more important when it comes to overall speed for everyday usage, as most tasks are unable to scale efficiently across multiple cores.

Thank you for acknowledging this. I think few people actually appreciate the need for better single-core performance. It's, in comparison, easy to just add more cores and use more power, but what is hard is making one core faster and faster and use less power.
They didn't say they'd never work somewhere with MS tools, just that that was part of the reason for leaving. I totally get it. If your employer is telling you a major part of your job is communication and giving you bad communication tools it's like if you got hired to be a chef and were given a camping stove.

There's certainly folks who enjoy the challenge or adaptation, but it does show a certain attitude towards the work and workers if your management doesn't think you need good tools to do the job well.

I'd stick around in a bad job if I thought I couldn't get something better, but it definitely means I'm looking to leave when things recover.
For SEO purpose i think ?
It's a single core benchmark, so not surprising. The single core performance has always been a lot better on the iPhones, and you can't fix this in software.
You can produce a multi-core benchmark that makes an Android look just as good as an iPhone, and some apps will be just as snappy. But when using the web browser the difference in performance was noticeable for me so I upgraded to a used iPhone.
Thanks for that. I'm curious if you have any resources you would recommend for improving one's literacy for corporate finance?
As a parent, you have little say in what your kids will end up finding valuable. Prepare to be disappointed.
Let me help you--that's the joke.
JPEG relies of the limitations of human vision to make an image largely indistinguishable from the original. It specifically throws information away that we are less unlikely to notice. So yes, a good JPEG should be indistinguishable (to humans) from the original. Obviously the more you turn up the compression the harder that is.
