The development costs for Windows (as a common platform, stripped of any add-on that could be provided by other competitive players) are a footnote in the costs of the global software market for Windows. There is indeed a complex problem to be solved of how to organize an open platform so that the development costs are paid, but it's not fundamentally a question of resources. Multiple companies and open source teams have achieved roughly similar feats with many orders of magnitude less resources than what MS rent-extracted from the Windows OS consumers.

Ditto for hardware, you need a well defined and stable interface and the vendors will adhere to it once there is critical mass.

> Isn't that true for every industry?

In almost every such historic example that still exists in some fashion today (railways, energy, telco, utilities etc.), there was strong regulatory action to break up monopolies accompanied by rigorous standardization of the common interfaces.

I don't have a problem with competitive players inventing industries and new ways of doing things for the allure of monopoly profit. Just with the sluggish regulatory action in the particular case of computing tech, well past the point where it has become an established and essential resource for society.
Have you never sent a message with images just to later find out that the message wasn't sent and it wouldn't even show up on the chat so you could retry?

(and even more recently, messages without images suffer from this, albeit at a much less frequency)

Have you never tried to join a meeting where teams made you just sit there for a minute trying to connect until you decide to restart it?

Have you ever called someone at the same time as they call you, ending you with teams saying that they are calling you at the same time as you are calling them and no one can accept the call ?

Have you ever tried to click on an old message from a search result, just to end up nowhere near the message?

Have you never joined late to a meeting because teams didn't notify you that the meeting had started?

If you have an external calendar account linked to outlook, have you never noticed that the linked calendar events don't show up in teams calendar?

Have you ever clicked on a message notification, scrolled a bit up or down to a different message and have teams snap you back to the notification message for no good reason?

Have you never noticed your teams status showing that you are in a meeting when you are not, even without any scheduled meeting in the calendar?

Have you never had your teams randomly hanging and your fans spinning to the max for a few seconds, with teams either getting back to normal or crashing afterwords ?

In a meeting, have you never had to ask the person that is sharing the screen to re-share it, because you are not seeing their screen?

Also in a meeting, have you never had the issue where people's cameras and screen shares are not showing up, forcing you to rejoin the meeting to get a 50% chance of everything working properly?

If not... Well... Lucky you, I guess.
Go is not less wasteful than java, both are garbage collected and their memory pressure depend highly on the given workload, and the runtime of the program. But java allow more GC tuning and even different GCs for different use cases (ie: shenadoah and ZGC favor very low latency workloads, while the default G1GC favors throughout (not that simple, but you get the point))

Regardless, Java/Go tier of performance is good enough for this kind of thing.

Nothing most likely because the fact remains that the CEOs of these companies do never face the same existential crisis as many of their employees do when loosing their job.

They can (and many probably do) put a small amount of their income into conservative boring low yield investments and still be set for Life if everything else collapses. Maybe not with the yacht, prestige or power they hoped for but still more comfortable than most of the population.

The best a CEO can do is take responsibility by making a significant financial sacrifice and not bullshit their former employees on the way out. I think this letter does it as best as possible given the circumstances but it can't bridge the gap between them and most people.

CEOs chose to be in that position and I'm sure they can handle a little criticism from the internet

I've been observing the discussion on sprawl vs high density in the US from the safety of my commie block and my conclusion is that sprawl is silly, but cities the density of New York are dystopian.

It appears that the same induced demand that makes traffic eventually occupy all lanes, no matter how many you build, works to make dense cities unaffordable and impossible to maintain.

There's a middle ground to be achieved here, really, and it's better than both the extreme views I've been hearing over and over again.

SEC (or other agencies) are definitely not tasked to explain the laws and regulations, they're not offering consulting services either. Coinbase can pay lawyers to explain the laws to them, or get in court (which they will, eventually) to get a judge explain it for good.
That's not true at all, there's no discreet object recognition.

You would still need to create maps for colliders, navigation etc. As well as break the flat mesh this provides down into discreet objects if you wanted any more physics integration.

GPT 3.5 had trouble understanding when I told it "Say 2 bob are a beb, how many beb per bob are there?" and it wrote a goddamn essay about shoes.

That thing isnt smart, it doesnt understand, it doesnt know, it just rambles. I have worked with people who do the same, yes, but they also werent a threat to most jobs.

I said it before, and I will say it again: If ChatGPT 3,4,5,... can take your job, maybe youre not really providing that much value. Make of that what you will - not everyone has to provide huge value.
That's the current design trend mixed with microsoft's horrible design language.
The program charges market rates, so that part isn't a subsidy--they're effectively letting banks bleed out the loss over time instead of recognizing it all at once, hoping (probably correctly in most cases) that other parts of the bank's business will be profitable enough that they can slowly earn their way out of the hole.

The program is undercollateralized though, so if a bank fails with such a loan outstanding then the Fed loses money. That part is a subsidy.
Yes, most EU countries have free health services but health insurance is very common in both the Nordics and Southern Europe in my experience.
I think we agree on all points, then. It's difficult to communicate this to beginners in a way that paints an accurate picture. Laud it too highly and it gets overused, downplay it and you fail to communicate a core strength.
It won't matter at this stage.

The decisions are long made by now. The RISC-V migration efforts started, for most companies, as soon as they got a whiff of NVIDIA's ARM deal (irrespective of how that went).

Hardware takes time, but RISC-V has shown exponential growth every year since its inception, and as latest RISC-V summit made evident, everybody is on it now.

As for the ARM IPO, I feel bad for the suckers that'll buy a now worthless company.

It could be turned around if they abandoned the ISA and focused on RISC-V IP like MIPS did.

ARM management has demonstrated with their actions that are simply incapable of doing that, or anything else for that matter, to save the company.

The issue is that I am a premium product person…

I’m one of the guys that wants a washing machine that costs three times as much but never dies, who values the fact my iPhones can last upwards of 6 years in total when I pass them on to my partner and they continue getting security updates. I am happy to pay extra for quality when it feels justified.

The new watch band is a ripoff not because of its intrinsic price/quality proposition… but because I can no longer look at it think “sounds about right for a quality product”. This isn’t intrinsically Apple making a price point choice, this is the entire global economy shifting at a rate faster than my brain as a consumer can keep up. I can’t as a rational consumer be expected to do research into global fabric watch band production, long term elasticity and sweat resistance, and decide that $60 in AUD is a good price for the item in question, my brain has multiple decades of prior data built up into the kinds of simple heuristics that everyone develops, and these heuristics based on past economic data set off the “fuck off mate, that’s too much for that” thought in my brain and thus Apple loses a sale.

This sort of subconscious (sometimes conscious) thought process is going to be happening thousands of times a day in Apple stores... and it’s made worse because the more clued in customers know that Apple could sacrifice some of their ludicrously juicy profit margins to try and mitigate this feeling their customers are starting to experience… but we all know they won’t do that because that’s not good business, which just sharpens that feeling of “fuck off, that’s too much” because we know not only are they making a premium product that will cost us more, we know they are deliberately choosing to exploit the trust we have in them to make quality products, to overcharge for those quality products because we aren’t necessarily sure where else we will get sufficiently good quality.

When everyone in the world except the richest people and companies are making less money because of inflation related margin squeezing, the richer the company the more egregious it looks and this runs the risks of alienating customers from the brand, or more likely, driving down ancillary sales as customers can only justify the main device and buy fewer accessories, perhaps eventually even hurting Apple’s beloved “Customer SAT(isfaction)” metrics they are so proud of. I know I’ve been less satisfied with the products for years now based almost entirely on the price. Like I said, I don’t mind paying extra for quality, I resent being taken to the cleaners for it.

The website also calls the moderation API from the client side with the response returned from its conversation API. So if you simply block the request to the moderation endpoint in dev tools, do they still have additional built-in monitoring?
This product looks a little scary. The ensure mentions no address or names, just that it’s made in Australia and an email address for support.

It's not quite even that. The SEC has an interest in setting precedent that expands its regulatory authority as much as possible. They don't want to answer the question "what is a security" clearly because they want to keep their options open. They're likely to hamstring themselves if they do that. Theyre better off doing what theyre doing, saying "99% of cryptos are securities" and being vague beyond that. It gives them regulatory authority over the whole space without restricting their available interpretations, and allows them to selectively enforce.

The other side of that is, securities law is bullshit. Whether something is a security or not depends on how it's packaged. If you tell people what a security is clearly, they'll make sure to legalese the technicalities and not sell "securities." The whole concept needs to be rethought, not because of crypto, the problem has always been there, it's just becoming more obvious.

As far as them falling asleep at the wheel, they've always done that. Survivorship bias aside, the SEC almost never catches actual fraudulent violations in the wild before disaster. Now, the SEC doesn't prosecute fraud, it sues for civil violations, but it's stated reason for existence is to protect the public. They've successfully done very little of that.

What I think is going to happen is it's all going to blow up in their face. Theyre selectively enforcing so as to establish precedent in court favorable to their broadest interpretation of their regulatory authority, as is their prerogative. But I think theyre going to go through a cascade of failed lawsuits due to their public image as a failure and being unwilling to clarify, some of which will set precedent that neuters them in the crypto space. And that's where the securities markets are going, infrastructure wise. Theyre fucking up, and it's going to take a non polarized congress to regulate any of this stuff effectively.

Interesting. Where?

In most of Europe, wire transfers are really easy to do, and where I live, most banks now support instant wire transfers (10 seconds) under some limit (in my case, 15 000 Eur). Doing them using QR codes and smart banking apps is really straightforward and user-friendly, so people do them routinely even for small sums.
That just means the homeless thrive.
See https://tailscale.com/kb/1232/derp-servers/

They use those relay servers for handling NAT issues, and figuring out which one has the lowest latency requires them to ping them all.

That said you can run your own one if you need to.
This is the allure of AI, and this is also why OpenAI chose Micro$oft, the flame extinguisher par excellence. They have struck gold, they can now monopolize the very act of writing software, nevermind if it was based on a bait-and-switch and trained on code that wasn't legally open for usage in this manner. Pretty soon, this will lead to microsoft using their black box defense to make copycats of every service possible for their own windows platform, and then put it all around a paywall.

My advice to fellow fountain pen users is to get one of those syringes. It’s just so much easier and so little mess, a rare object that is both cheap and effective. No more angling your ink bottle, no more rotating or squeezing converters, no more wiping down the pen, no more accidental palm discoloration. Just one pull, one push, rinse, and done.
Hot take: average trader isn't actually a master of all systems, just good at game theory.
Maybe if we compared the market size of the Pokemon cards trading with the crypto trading, and also the risks of one compared to the other, we might get a hint why one is in the spotlights while the other not. Not all problems can and have to be addressed at once, so having a priority list to apply your limited resources makes only sense.
useEffect is absolutely core to doing to react development with hooks. Saying "you might not need an effect" is like saying "you might not need the + operator", like yeah, sure, if you're not trying to add two numbers or concatenate a string or whatever you won't need that operator, but in like 99.999% of all applications you will need it.
There you go. I thought `key` was something you just needed when creating child elements, so react knows which ones are which. I didn't realize it could be used to create a new sandbox for state. But actually it makes sense! Because if you have a list of child items each with it's own state then React needs to manage that using the key. I never made this connection.

The cost of Heroku was 50 USD / mo for 1GB of application RAM. I can't imagine that a GKE cluster, plus nodes, plus cloud SQL (and you refer to AWS S3 too?), plus bandwidth all adds up to less than 50 USD / mo.

The release of BeOS in 1995 pretty much marked the end of desktop operating systems diversity for nearly two decades. Windows 95 had already been released and quickly cornered the market. Although we perhaps have fewer options today than in the 80s and early 90s things are pretty healthy. No one operating system is dominant in the same way. Alongside Windows, ChromeOS and macOS both have significant shares on desktop and for consumers iOS and Android are just as important.
No word about maybe giving some love to community servers :(
Haven't apps always been the way to circumvent privacy features offered by the (mobile) browser?

My take may be historically inaccurate, but I think Apple's app eco system is rooted in the limited capabilities of the iPhone browser, at the time. Apple only reluctantly allowed other companies to target the phone's guts and then much later discovered the app store revenue model they are now addicted to.

With modern browsers and Web apps, "native" apps have since become mostly obsolete. The perspective has shifted in that contemporary Android/iOS apps are no longer a kludge to work around browser capabilities, but instead a market place for selling user privacy to third parties.

Security comes in only when it's absolutely obvious that app developers are way-overstepping the boundaries of what the app is supposed to do. Like back grounding and monitoring the clipboard for no good reason whatsoever.

For some definition of "far far away".

CPU-wise, there are cores that match or beat popular ARM designs extensively used in SoCs driving the current generation of smartphones.

The Android RISC-V port is now upstream, and it is considered a priority by Google[0]. The JIT support was merged a few weeks after.

Their current intent, as I understand it, is to influence RVA23 to ensure it is in good shape, and to make it a requirement for official support (e.g. google play services).

The Chinese might, however, jump the gun and release something earlier than that, without google play services, possibly as soon as this year.

As for most of the world, based on past latency from spec to hardware, we'll have some phones by 2025 at the earliest, 2026 for sure.

By 2027, I expect the majority of phones will have SoCs based on RISC-V, including most flagships.

In parallel with the phones, Windows-based laptops with RISC-V CPU will displace the ARM-based ones, with Microsoft also apparently intending RVA23 as requirement, as per RISC-V Summit, RISC-V's CTO talks.

My pet theory, not fully fleshed out yet, is that it's a consequence of "job creation" being a fundamental task of government. Or at least one we assign to it by virtue of constantly holding it accountable for "the unemployment rate" and other such statistics.
Having durable goods that really are durable does not prevent you from deciding you want to upgrade. You simply pass on the still working item to someone else.

It used to be pretty common for young couples starting out to be gifted an older washer and dryer (for example) from a relative and the relative would upgrade to something with more modern features without feeling wasteful.
