I used a stapler at home yesterday though I'm sure I have a great deal of redundant paper-related office stuff I rarely use.

I guess the purpose of a company-wide email is to signal "Tighten your belts." But it absolutely makes sense to cut back on supplies that aren't needed as much or don't need to be refreshed as much--or on services that aren't being utilized with fewer people in offices.
> Handing out multi-core full-blown laptops to non-technical roles that could just as easily get by with a Chromebook?

I have, over and over, seen companies burn the cost of a decent laptop at a rate between one per quarter and one per month per employee because they try to cheap out and the shitware they force on their workers runs like crap on anything that's not fairly powerful, wasting hours per week per employee.

Whole divisions at some larger companies lose incredible amounts of money every year over reluctance to give the mere worker-drones nice hardware.

Your expectations are unreasonable. This is not a problem that technology can solve. Large scale, long term human trials will always be expensive no matter how much technology we throw at the problem.

Really? Does CarPlay have access to my cars controls, cameras, climate, driving alerts, etc..

Nope, you constantly have to switch between CarPlay and the car's own software to do certain things.

In a Tesla it's all integrated together and works great, CarPlay is unnecessary. If I need to use my phone while driving, the phone's screen is perfectly visible from the charger/dock.
I'm with you on this. Maybe it speaks a bit to opinions on public schools in the US, but even free access to the best public school in the world doesn't (imo) give someone the right to force it on others.

Nickel and dimming would be requiring approvals and paperwork to buy a stapler. This is Google just not buying them. That seems reasonable at a tech company?
It’s sad that this non-event, which reeks of obvious and desperate attention seeking, is getting so many reposts and upvotes on here.

Firefly is absolutely underwhelming. Its been 10 months since Dalle 2, and it is just a slightly improved version of Dalle2 (With just as bad censorship filters). Adobe clearly only started their generative AI project only after Dalle 2 was released. Otherwise you would expect their internal team to have far more polished results.

Like, who exactly is a user of firefly at this point? You'd work far faster just copy pasting images from Midjourney into photoshop, than trying to wrangle firefly to produce good results. If you want strong control, SD is the answer. If you hate AI, you won't use it at all. Adobe will barely get feedback data.

1. GitPod doesn't officially support self-hosting anymore - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33907897. When they did, it was extremely hard to set up. In fact we tried to do it at my previous company several times and failed. Hocus is designed with self-hosting in mind, and we want to make deployment and management straightforward. And from an end user's perspective there are 2 main advantages:

- Hocus dev envs are VMs instead of containers, so you can run anything you want inside. For example Kubernetes or nested KVM.

- Workspaces start in <5 seconds, while Gitpod can take a minute or longer.

2. Actually we are exploring moving to Cloud Hypervisor or QEMU, so we may support GPUs sooner than later. If you have a specific use case in mind, feel free to contact me - contact info is in my profile. I'd be happy to hear why you need them.
> most implementations of malloc would write some kind of book-keeping header before the returned object (observe that on amd64 glibc, malloc(3) for large allocations returns pointers that are offset +0x10 from page alignment, that is where the two word allocated block header lives).

Hmm. You're right about glibc, but macOS for instance reliably returns page-aligned pointers for large allocations. I wonder how Windows behaves.
Since most of us don't design CPUs or micros, does it matter much whether it's RISC-V vs ARM? In other words, is there any way to contribute in the RISC-V space and gain an advantage? I can see how it could work out for Intel or Nvidia but for an end-user I can't see how I would jump away from the architecture I've spent the last 10 years on.
> The money they save from buying components from Intel is sunk into development of the processors

That doesn't sound right. The m series chips are literally copy pasted from their a series and they operate at a scale where they probably get nice economies of scale. I bet they increased their margins a substancial amount.
I agree with you 100% here.

This kind of convenience matters, and I acknowledge that as someone who drives to the local bank for a lot of my bank stuff; convenience may not matter to me personally, but I would be stupid if I didn't acknowledge that it matters most too most people.
Yup, when I said that I was half way there, I was trying to use ansible to deploy a nginx systemd unit on every node to load-balancing requests to API servers. Many other distributions can do this with a static pod managed by local kubelet, but that's not possible in k3s.

I know there are solutions to my problem, but I can either implement them by myself, or like you mentioned, I can just use a different distribution and not having these problems.
Choosing to spend money instead of spending time, when your time is worth a lot of money, is entirely reasonable.

Knowledge creation doesn’t seem hard enough. I think an a/b testing service that optimizes based on how users respond is doing science, and knowledge creation.

I feel like compressing knowledge and being able to answer questions about the knowledge, with the ability to explore “what if” differences seems more like it suggests real understanding. And that’s what these LLMs can do.

I always figured that's why high-level power struggles were so constant and severely fought in totalitarian regimes.

If the downside is unlimited then you do whatever it takes to win, always.

And if there isn't currently a struggle then you prepare for the next one, constantly.

Or in other words, you only spend a small portion of your total ability and time on the job, because you have to constantly expend effort on protecting your back.
Based on Andrew's response, yes it looks like they'll be using external AI services. But since their target customer is most likely someone who uses GMail, I don't think privacy is really a heavy focus for this product.
Does it offer the same system-wide protection as the desktop VPN product; or, does it only use the VPN for socks-proxied traffic through the extension-created SOCKS port, and so those protections are applied within the browser; or, it doesn’t protect against temporary interruptions; or, orher?

I can’t experiment with this during my workday, and we’ve reached the limit of information available without running it and testing, so I can’t help resolve this further right now.
I don't know what that means. The JVM itself is at least as reliable as BEAM, and probably more so -- it's subject to both more development testing and field testing -- but what needs high reliability is applications. The JVM runs much more critical code than BEAM does, and on a far wider scale and more stressful workloads. The VM itself is the cause of neither Java's reliability nor Erlang's. It's the programming model that matters. The JVM can now support the Erlang model at least as well -- and, I claim, significantly better -- than BEAM ever could with its limited resources. BEAM's Achilles heel has always been performance. That has harmed Erlang application's reliability, as they need to depend on unsafe native code -- that can crash the entire process -- much more than JVM applications.

> Apple is a hardware company that develops an operating system and services to add value to their hardware. They make nearly all of their money from hardware.

It seems like Apple has largely forgotten that; a hardware company seeking to maximize value for their hardware would, for example, tolerate (if not outright encourage) alternative operating systems on said hardware instead of using "security" as an excuse to maintain a tighter and tighter grip on a walled garden of software. The App Store is lucrative enough that it's sucked in the rest of Apple; instead of making hardware for hardware's sake, Apple's hardware is increasingly a funnel into that App Store ecosystem.

Likewise...

> The biggest reason they’re trashing up their OS with advertising and other crap these days is that they now make a lot less money from Windows licenses than they used to.

You'd think a company whose bread and butter is software and services would understand that pissing off customers ain't exactly a winning strategy for making money off those software and services.

I'd also question the idea that they're making significantly less money on Windows licenses than before. Yeah, not very many people are buying retail copies of Windows like they were back in the day, but there's still plenty of volume from desktop/laptop OEMs (in spite of the perennial claims that mobile devices have killed the desktop) and plenty of volume from enterprise customers (which is arguably Microsoft's money tree, far more so than anything consumer-facing). Microsoft's probably perfectly fine with Windows Home Edition (and even, to an extent, Professional Edition) being a loss leader of sorts if it means maintaining mindshare such that enterprises instinctively pick Windows Enterprise Edition and Windows Server for their business needs, and especially if they instinctively pick those running on Azure. Shoving a bunch of ads and bloatware into their flagship OS is entirely unnecessary from that perspective.

The ads and bloatware are more likely from the other side of Microsoft's strategy: competing with Google on the ad delivery and search engine front. There's growing pressure from the Bing side of things to use the consumer versions of Windows as a funnel into Bing - as manifested in everything from the Start Menu to the incessant demands to use Edge as the default browser (which just so happens to use Bing as its default search engine).

There are countless other examples of this tendency of accidental goldmines sucking in the rest of a company's products and turning them into funnels. Valve is a notable case, with Steam evolving from a tool to support Valve's bread-and-butter of PC games to Valve's bread-and-butter in and of itself - and with Valve's software and (more recently) hardware projects serving primarily as funnels into the Steam ecosystem.
I’ve heard of this on twitter a lot lately - it sounds like you have to amortize some costs (like dev salary - or your own salary!) over 6 years )?!) instead of applying the full thing as a cost for the current tax year. Big yikes.
Yeah I agree. I completely disagree with all of Yudkowski's views.

>The money they save from buying components from Intel is sunk into development of the processors. They also have to pay for manufacturing and logistics.

I am not convinced. Most of the development cost for Apple Silicon is already covered by the iphone and ipad. They always had to pay for manufacturing and logistics so that's not a new thing, and I bet they paid AMD and Intel way more than they pay TSMC even now.
