In both of your examples they're not saying they "cannot hide it behind a flag because people are already using it":

* With adoptedStyleSheets they're objecting to making backwards incompatible changes, which is reasonable: everyone hates browsers breaking sites. But there are ways to do this safely, like changing the name of the property (as rniwa suggested https://github.com/WICG/construct-stylesheets/issues/45#issu...) and if that were the only issue I think they'd have done something like that.

* With WebMIDI they're saying they want to do an announcement before making the change. (I do think it's nuts how long they're taking to fix this, and if you look on the blink-api-owners-discuss thread you linked you'll see I've been bugging them about it.)
This reminds me of Collaborative Diffusion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborative_diffusion

A classic example is programming the ghosts in pacman to trap the player, which seems to require a sophisticated, collaborative strategy. Instead, a much simpler solution is to make a "pacman smell" diffuse through the maze:

- The cell containing pacman has its "smell" clamped to 1

- Cells containing walls and ghosts have their "smell" clamped to 0

- The "smell" of an empty cell is the average of its neighbours

This way, dumb hill-climbing will move the ghosts along the fastest route to the player. "Collaborative" behaviour emerges from the "smell" being clamped to 0 by ghosts: if a route to the player is already blocked-off by a ghost, those behind will not get any "smell" from that direction, and will take other routes instead; effectively cutting-off all of the escape routes. (I implemented this in Pygame many years ago, and it was no fun to play, since the ghosts were way too smart!)

All these "your own GPT4" and the like should really not have "own" in the description. They are just someone else using another someone else's API. A better title might be, "Use our wrapper for openai's GPT4 service to summarize documents."

That's not how any of this works. You're assuming that every single person will spend their UBI payment in exactly the same fashion, and thus that all prices will go up in unison. That is an extremely basic model of the economy (i.e. it's not a good model). It doesn't take into account people saving, people paying off debt (another form of savings), or any sort of second-order effects (how will this effect how people operate in the labor market if they know they can leave a crappy job and not become homeless)?

"First order thinking" is not a euphemism for "I'm right because I said so".
IIRC it was 99 cents per year, and you could just keep "skipping" the payment. I don't think they ever cut anyone off from using it for not paying. A little bit like shareware (or nagware?).
I disagree as technologies like DirectStorage and equiv. mature and are adopted.

In addition, undersized vram amounts is one of the ways in which Nvidia limits the usable life of their video cards.
I was never into math until I discovered math comes bundled with proofs and that math is an actual coherent body of knowledge and not some ad-hoc collection of bullshit problems about trains leaving two points and optimizing chicken coops. I was terribly uneasy with math facts presented as self-evident at pre-college level. Most students never seemed to have this sense that something was off and didn't add up which made it all worse. Math proofs alleviated this feeling. To this day I am more interested in reading clever proofs than the statements they prove. Though, these days proving math statements to me is like going to a hardware store, picking up various tools, gadgets, potions and jerry-rigging a structure held together by a scotch tape.

tldr: I discovered math when I discovered a book on writing math proofs by Nancy Rodgers[0]

> People do want to do them. That's why they do them.

Incredibly naive. Very few people enjoy their jobs. I imagine job satisfaction of anything dealing with garbage is low. The only reason people stick to it is because it pays decently, plus maybe some sort of factor intrinsic to the job like not having to deal with people.

But generally, people do their job because they have to do them in order to put a roof over their head and food on the table.

I think many are not actually against usage of these kinds of ML models in general, but against what is done using them right now: Code laundering, violation of licenses, intransparency, training on personal data, no responsible person to talk to, no way of having data removed, that one does not want in the model or the model to train from, and more.

Any of these can lead to dystopia.

When we use computer vision to identify benign or malignant tumors, we might cost someone a job, but at least what that model was trained on can be known and we are not leaking personal data in the model and probably there is no violation of licenses or similar to the data that was used to train the model. The model is very limited in output. The consequences are kind of simple to monitor or predict, because the model can only be used in its specialized area of use.

With the new crop of ML models the situation is different. Lawmakers were asleep while these things became popular and there is no knowing, how it will all pan out, because the output is of a more general nature, that can touch any subject, any area of expertise. No one knows what they have been trained on and whether there is anything in that training data, that should not have been used, and there is no simple way (that I know of) to operate out any such data after training the model.

Americans tend to equate wealth with ability and set aside luck, everyone is a temporarily embarrassed millionaire.

Musk certainly used to have decent business accuumin - he hit it big several times, that’s not just luck. From all accounts he’s a half decent engineer too, which is rare in many CEO levels.

However his behaviour over the last 3 years has been very surprising. He seems to be less interested in the tech and more in the politics, which is a shame.

I suggest UBI because I believe it's the most cost-effective way to allow people to get those things. Targeted intervention have often high overhead and undesirable side effects. For example, demand-side interventions to support limited goods and services drive up the price of these things while cost controls frequently lead to prices going actually up, due to the regulatory overhead.

I haven't had a problem so far, but I just want to plug rtings.com for this -- when I've looked at monitors, I see that they have a specific review for MacBook compatibility for every monitor. That's really helpful, and their reviews are otherwise top notch quality as well. At least one monitor got axed from my recent search based solely on the review that said it was finicky to get working without compromising on the performance.

> non-replaceable ram and ssd

This is what kills it for me. When the M1 macs came out I was quite enthusiastic to use them, but just wasn't ready to drop that kind of money on an unknown OS. So I brought a cheaper, refurbished MBA (8gb ram, 256gb ssd) and loved it. The trouble is, 256gb ssd would be too small for me as a daily driver, ideally I'd want at least 1tb, but my only option to get that is to buy a whole new mac. Its hard to justify spending ~£3000 on what is effectively for me just a bigger ssd.
No, DRM is Not IBOC.

The Twitter purchase really just shows how rich and apathetic Elon Musk is. A Ferrari is a difficult to impossible purchase for almost all of us, but rappers buy them for no reason and then trash them all the time. Twitter is that on a much larger scale, and Musk is treating it the same way because he doesn’t care.

You don’t build the first successful auto startup in 70 years and revitalize the space industry by being a moron. Everything Elon Musk has ever done with Twitter (including the 2018 SEC debacle) has been the dumbest shit possible, however
I must be missing something, everytime I try to do something I end up wasting a day to get something to work unreliably. Seemingly simple apps that ought to only require the most common dependencies (such as dotnet/ie) are a nightmare to setup for me.

Every other time I try to do something the dependencies fails to download or there are bugs preventing stuff from installing.

What am I missing? Maybe games happens to bundle most they need themselves?
What I find interesting is there were 2 cuts of that movie. One to show investors and the gov, and the one he released into theaters. He wanted to show that space is wildly dangerous, empty and lonely. However, the people paying the bill which he needed wanted a different movie and more upbeat and hopeful about space travel. I just recently learned about that interesting bit of trivia about the movie.

You speak in general terms but you’re in a bubble. Here in my bubble, a tech valley in the South of France, developers have to be convinced to switch to Mac. “Sounds awesome but will I be able to get used to the new shortcuts?” is the general question.

Is it known what proportion of mac sales are B2B?

I wonder with all the talk of layoffs, cost-cutting, and chasing short-term cashflow if we're seeing most businesses say to themselves 'let's just get one more year out of the laptops we have'. A lot of companies have a 2-3 year turnover on laptops and pushing things out a bit for most people wouldn't be an issue.

In the short term that kind of change would have a severe impact on sales, but will smooth out a bit over the long term.
There are adapters that let you use multiple and bypass that limit. Kensington has a few.

They have some cheaper, more basic models too.

edit: for the record I think this limit is stupid and the biggest flaw of the Air. You're right that other than that, it's a damn near perfect daily driver.
To be consistent, at least they should actively promote remote work... Unusually, I don't see them eating their own dog food on this one. I'm not optimist on this whole product.
In the past i've done the hackintosh thing with NUCs over mac minis. They are generally cheaper, faster and you can actually replace the ram/storage. With the advent of M1/2 though that will no longer be an option.
I didn't downvote you, but I'd imagine you're being downvoted for arguing in favor of that laptop being economical.

At the risk of sounding like a dead meme, "a laptop going strong for over 9 years" is already the default for the kinds of folks who would opt for Linux and who would replace their laptops HDD with an SSD.

My $800 laptop from 2015 has been 16GiB RAM and 512TB SSD and it still works perfectly (save for an Ethernet port which I regrettably damaged). It's running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, which is supported for three more years as of this comment.

This is kind of a standard experience for people in Linux land. So by comparison, a $1600 laptop with 8GiB RAM and a 256GB HDD which is no longer receiving security updates does not sound like a good deal.
> Dick Cavett vs. Lex Friedman, the regression in interview style is horrible.

I really don't like Friedman's interview style, it tends to sound like he's been smoking weed prior to the interview.

Cavett was at a completely different level. I think the closest living interviewer (OK, I see Cavett is still alive, but I don't think he's been doing interviews lately) to that level might be Terry Gross but she doesn't do the kind of open-ended interviews that Cavett did that could go on for hours.
I suspect this is exactly how it is going to go as higher density Li-Ion comes out around 900 Wh/L.
> I don't see how this would be much different from a non-native English speaker getting a colleague to help with the English phrasing of a paper (this is very, very common).

It's as different as ChatGPT is from an English-speaking scientist colleague.

For example, a colleague will probably ask if they're not sure which is the intended meaning of a phrase. ChatGPT will generate one of the possible meanings.
My $0.02: in my world nobody gives a #### about status, but while I agree with your list, I feel it misses the single biggest feature:

* the power efficiency of the M1 means you can _actually_ use it an entire day on a charge _without_ having to compromise on performance. That is a huge issue.

I'd amend your last point with: at least in North America, getting service for the Apple products is very streamlined and that has enabled me to keep even a 2008 MBP alive until today. For me that is a huge deal as I hate donating to the landfill.

Well, yes. I also have online-only friendships, too. using VR in the way you do makes sense.

What I'm responding to is the idea (mostly from the likes of Meta and various hard-core advocates) that VR will become ubiquitous. That means it replacing actual in-person communication.

Reducing everyone to a datastream is an antisocial tendency. If that's done as an alternative to not interacting with someone at all, it's the more social alternative. If that's done as an alternative to interacting with people in the real world, that's antisocial.

It's a bit like using video conferencing. Many workplaces are continuing to use video conferencing in the office even when everyone is in the office. That's an antisocial use. Using it to bring people together who cannot be physically together is a pro-social use.

AR/VR is designed to separate you from the physical world and reduce everything to a datastream. That's what I meant by "antisocial". But I did ignore a couple of tons of nuance in saying that.

It doesn't matter to them. They're content spending 5 hours tweaking their Mac setup for every 60 minutes they spend improving production. Do I envy that naivete? I'm not sure anymore.

At one point my commute was 78 miles each way. It would take me about an hour depending on traffic and speed traps. The shortest commute I’ve ever had is 15 miles. I live in one of the largest cities in America. We have no public transportation. A bike is simply unworkable. A motorcycle isn’t even particularly great here. I drive a mid size SUV and I’ve had people not see me and merge into me. Multiple people I know have been rammed full speed while stopped at a traffic light.

Bicycles are neither safe nor efficient enough for a daily commute in the US.

It's pathetic how we're clinging onto this inferior technology. Frequency Modulation was invented to keep the "intelligence" in the signal. I think we forgot that. FM is the solution for EMI and therefore the perfect radio tech for future vehicles (EVs).

It's 2 different takes on Power.

The US ensures its continuation and longevity via the small group of Elite families and new wealth that is continuously being generated.

Redundancy is not a good use of focus for most people (except SREs and the like). The whole point of redundancy is to remove something from focus. I'm guessing you checked everything by hand for the sole purpose of not having to focus on these calculations mid-flight. I'm sure most commercial pilots rely on a larger organization to make these checks for them and their organization probably employs its own system of checks and redundancies at scale. Putting that all on the pilot is not going to give you a sustainable transportation business.

>I'm having a very hard time seeing what could be done (in the possible future we're talking about).

Easy. While industrial automation has largely eliminated repetitive mechanical tasks robotics has not yet advanced to the point where it can replicate the versatility of the human form. The gap is partly closing with 3D printing but this is not moving nearly as fast as AI. Additionally there's just multitudes of construction jobs, maintenance jobs, physical jobs that can't be replaced.

I wouldn't go so far as to call jobs involving physical movement "menial". Think of the machinist and the carpenter.

This is one path. The other path is regulation or resistance. Ban AI usage like how the government bans your right to copy things you own (aka money).
