I personally fully expect Ally to continue being competitive as they have a history of matching rates competitively.

Sometimes there are gimmicky rates that are nice to take advantage of for a bit, but they usually have some annoying requirements to get the high rate and limit the amount you can get.

If Apple isn't losing money on a temporary rate to get some customers then Ally will have it's rate go up, as it's one of their main competitive advantages.

Also, the Chase cards are usually better to get as the opening bonuses are among the highest out there, making them far more advantageous to get for overall straight cash back. Ideally you get the less useful cards like target and Amazon after getting their line of cards. Discover and Chase often times will have Amazon and target for five percent on their quarterly cards as well.

Chase points on one of their Sapphire travel cards are also extremely valuable. Some of their travel partners can have offers that reduce the hotel prices down to fifty percent or more of the cash price. And the guaranteed increase in point value for plane tickets is also very nice. Never been able to justify the cost of their more expensive Sapphire, but the Sapphire preferred usually pays for itself after just one trip.

The one thing to be wary of is their 5/24 rule, but usually that only hits churners.
Yep. We ended the "intelligence" monopoly, so we are in an organics vs synthetics duality era.

The sad part might be that our culture had mostly optimized people's intelligence to not think about an immortal soul that uses (at least 1) organic body to manifest itself in the world but to reduce itself to the organic form explaining all the limits of its existence. And now comes AI, the algebraic parrots exponentially accelerated to steal its kingdom.

Tip: You need to have just 1 lucid out of body experience to understand that "organics" are infinitely more than carbon-based life forms.
I agree with everything you've said. I guess I'm just not invested in guessing whether Apple will make better or worse decisions in the future, or at least I don't have enough confidence in my ability to guess correctly to make any kind of purchasing decisions.

I'll buy Apple until there's something better for my utility function. And then I'll switch and I won't look back. I might read a book about how culture, durable advantages, and customer-first policies are intertwined, I suppose.

A different chip is a big job.

A different development board with a familiar architecture (e.g. ARM Cortex etc) is a matter of loading drivers for all the parts connected on the board. For that you create a 'device tree' which is a blob of text similar to javascript or json data definition, with many particular conventions for pins, addresses and busses. See any document on Device Tree formats e.g. from Freescale.

It gets compiled into a .dtb blob which is 'device tree binary' which is flashed into the board next to the os. The bootloader or uboot image expects it in a certain place, loads it into memory and provides it to the booting kernel.

Of course you need to know about the device tree, to use most devices. That's why you have to have an extra step to load - the bootloader is a flash image that has hardcoded a tiny subset of device information just for initial load.

That's all I can say without launching into chapters of details!

> It actually seems pretty amazing that what HN thinks is Google's failed side hustle is comparable to the entire business of what would have been considered tech giants a few years ago.

Because it all pales in comparison to what actually powers Google: ads. To the point that there are persistent and growing rumours that GCP may be if not on the chopping block, but greatly de-prioritised (it's part of the 26-billion Google Cloud).

It's also weird to me that people always look at revenue only. As if net income doesn't matter.

For example [1], non-ad business may have brought in 60 billion in revenue, but what it is I see: "The increase in other cost of revenues from 2021 to 2022 was primarily due to increases in data center costs and other operations costs as well as hardware costs." And that cost is 77 billion.

Guess what Google's the non-ad businesses are: "Google other revenues increased ... from 2021 to 2022 primarily driven by growth in YouTube non- advertising and hardware revenues", "Google Cloud's infrastructure and platform services were the largest drivers of growth in Google Cloud Platform."

So a large chunk of that revenue is eaten by the costs of generating that revenue. Google cloud lost 3 billion, other bets lost 6 billion etc.

Meanwhile all other costs of revenue are a 49 billion, compared to over 200 billion in revenue from ads.

So how do those businesses inderectly depend on ads? Ads business subsidises them. Despite the size of those other businesses very few, if any, are successful (as in: actually earn money).

https://www.iea.org/news/the-world-s-coal-consumption-is-set...

Global coal use is set to rise by 1.2% in 2022, surpassing 8 billion tonnes in a single year for the first time and eclipsing the previous record set in 2013, according to Coal 2022, the IEA’s latest annual market report on the sector. Based on current market trends, the report forecasts that coal consumption will then remain flat at that level through 2025 as declines in mature markets are offset by continued robust demand in emerging Asian economies

That was 2022, a year in which Europe had to increase coal usage for the first time in a long time due to exploding natural gas pipelines and Germany shutting down nuclear power. Even in that extreme and unprecedented situation, the world managed only a 1.2% increase in coal usage. In other years coal usage fell or was flat. A 500% increase is a fantasy and everyone who looks at it for even a split second knows it.

The complaint isn't the name of the worst case scenario. That's just an example. This scenario is routinely used as the basis for "climate crisis" claims, so it's not merely a naming issue either. The complaint is about the overall duplicity and manipulative nature of what this field produces.

>> An example could be that you show the prognosticated change in temperature, and show that current data falls completely out of it.

https://i0.wp.com/judithcurry.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04...

But bear in mind that even this sort of graph can be misleading, because it assumes the relation between temperature and the effect on the climate is understood. It actually isn't.

BTW, you say "it's actually not really relevant to what I asked" but you originally said "we're on track for the more pessimistic paths" and it was meant to show that although this claim is often made, it's not really right. The more pessimistic path is implausible and has been for a long time.
> That’s the current theory and it fails

I do not see such evidence, maybe it fails in san francisco but that can have thousands of reasons. Everything I've read here points me to the fact that the public education is not good/comprehensive enough and too inflexible. I am honestly a bit shocked what i've read here, this is definitely not my experience with public education, like not at all. San francisco is rich, people make a lot of money there. There is no excuse why public education should not excel. I bet every major politician has his kids on a private school and also every other decision maker.

> There is no way for you to create a public system that overcomes the success that comes out of parents who are involved and invested in their child’s education

This is not exactly what I said. It is probably impossible in practice to eliminate this advantage. But while impossible to eliminate, you can try to minimise it and you should. It's the only fair thing to do because kids can't choose their parents. I would go further, it's the only ethical thing to do.

Metaverse can and probably will eventually pan out when tech is ready for it. I'm really happy Meta is subsidzing Oculus head sets, and I hope they keep cranking out new versions. That is one piece of hardware I can't live without, though I don't do metaverse or even game with it.

I am not sure what you mean by "just an electrical current". The CPU is typically kept in reset until the clock is stable, so it has a valid clock signal on startup. It is therefore able to start executing the microcode which performs the power-on-reset sequence, i.e. start reading instructions from the reset vector and so on.
Shortest meta-circular description of a universal computational structure?
To quell AGI hysteria I've posed a simple Algorithmic Information Theoretic IQ Test question:
What is the shortest program you can come up with that outputs this string:
0000000001000100001100100001010011000111010000100101010010110110001101011100111110000100011001010011101001010110110101111100011001110101101111100111011111011111

Yann LeCun responded:
"I can construct a computer for which the shortest program that generates this bit string has length 1."

To which I posed this question:
"Why do mathematicians spend centuries asking for their minimum set of axioms but, not even Wolfram's acolytes ask for the shortest meta-circular description of a universal computational structure?"

In my youth, I participated in "kite fighting," a popular activity in my home country. During these battles, opponents maneuver their kites, attempting to cut each other's kite string through tricky aerial tactics. We used special kite strings coated in thin glass. The victor's prize was getting to keep their opponents kite. Around January, during the kite festival, there would be hundreds of kites in the air all dancing or playing with each other. A magnificent sight.
I haven't thought too long about the article, but to me one perspective seems missing:

Psychologist Robert Jay Lifton wrote an extremely impressive and surprisingly sober book "Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism" on the torture methods used in mainland China. He interviewed victims that had just escaped to Hong Kong (then still a safe harbor for civic freedom).

This book has much more detailed, personal impressions of what "struggle" means. Struggle in torture prisons is a sequence of absolute physical and psychological destruction, followed by the attempt of the tortured to break and destroy their old selves, to denounce what they identified with, loved and fought for, to try and re-model themselves into model citizens. Only, what exactly the party demands model citizens to be is often left vague.

I was left with the impression that the extreme violence exerted on individuals cannot be left out of any high-level analysis of what totalitarianism does.
To some degree, yes. But note that Twain's arguably-adult brother Henry (1838–1858) died in a steam boiler explosion. And his father John (1798-1847) of infectious disease.

>The first has almost 0% chance of happening. Apple will never bail out its customers for insured deposits, as that money is guaranteed by the FDIC. Why would they effectively "donate" money for free to the FDIC?

Yes, this was a hypothetical based on a situation in which these accounts weren't protected by FDIC, either by design or some problem with the FDIC. Apple isn't going to donate money to the federal government. But I could see it donating money to its customers as an attempt to retain the value of its brand.

>The only universe in which that happens is the one in which the FDIC somehow is insolvent and the federal government abandons the FDIC and the cascading effects of the latter (which would almost certainly create a national if not global financial crisis that makes 2008 look quaint) somehow don't affect Apple enough that they could use their additional cash on hand to pay their entire banking liabilities. Which is pretty unlikely, given that most non-banking companies don't have cash reserves that large that they can dip into at a moment's notice. Even Apple, the world's biggest company, has "only" $50B in cash on hand as of last quarter, which sounds like a lot but would not be enough to weather that kind of a crisis and still be able to make depositors whole even if they felt that it was their responsibility.

The FDIC might not have the money to cover a failure as big as Goldman Sachs and the cascading effects (a quick Google search says the FDIC has $128b in the insurance fund and GS has $110b in consumer deposits, so it seems close at the moment). The big question is what would the US government do in response to a failure this big. Would a polarized and split Congress want to or even be able to compromise on a rescue plan? What if the issue is specifically at Goldman Sachs due to corruption or some other crime rather than an issue with the overall economic environment? Like I said, the odds of this situation are extremely low, but so are the odds of Apple accepting the destruction of their brand.

what you’re seeing in the iPhone sideloading space is a product of a lot of hard work by many different people over many years. AltServer and the like (what I assume you’re referring to) are the best solutions we have, but come with significant downsides - iOS updates breaking the software, limits on how many apps you can install (last time i checked, you could only install 3), time constraints (need to ”re-sign” apps every week), software constraints (still can’t use JIT or other private APIs without Apple’s blessing), and - relative to using the App Store or Android sideloading - the setup procedure is pretty complicated. on both Macs and PCs, AltServer can be kind of difficult to set up.

all of this has prevented a legitimate sideloading scene from truly emerging on the iPhone - which, depending on where you ideologically stand on this, could be considered monopolistic.

i think there’s definitely room to make the process a lot easier - even if it’s just for power users.
There's no model yet, only a dataset.
Most of what they're describing is bypass which is the shunting of high frequency noise to ground via capacitors. The capacitors appear as a lower impedance path for the HF noise to ground, rather than return thru the power supply, whatever that may be.

I am from a rural region where IIT-JEE is not that popular, and I liked working these physics and maths problems initially.

Unfortunately the competition has become so intense you practically need coaching (which is expensive) and dedicate lot of time, at that point it becomes grunt work. There are many "tricks" and "shortcuts" taught in these coachings which doesn't exists in normal NCERT syllabus. Needless to say I didn't do very well.

You had the knowledge to discern whether the info given to you was legitimate. The average user doesn't have that. What if I need to look into something that I have zero knowledge about? When I get a list of sources, I can look through those sources and at least partially determine whether they're reliable. If an AI just spits an answer out, do I always just trust it?

Search engines are getting bad enough about throwing crap information at me. I think AI will just increase that. I prefer that I have the power to sift through the sources. I'm not willing to hand that completely off to AI.

I have the same problem. I thought it was me.. The HTML Page sadly has no image search I could find.
I can believe half of them did, or maybe 2/3, but that still leaves hundreds of original Googlers who could speak up.
I don't see a reality where companies like Facebook or Snapchat start distributing their applications outside the App Store. Maybe we see something where e.g. Facebook tries to spin up their own App Store, for them and anyone else who wants to join, but I would bet every dollar I have that this would simply be a failed venture. Because ultimately most people think, intentionally or not, like you do: Apps come from the App Store. Leaving would be suicide.

The company to watch is Epic Games. If they have the opportunity to bring a new gaming-focused App Store to iOS, to get Fortnite and other games back on the platform: I think they'll take it, and its possible it will do rather well. Giving game devs a distribution channel with a far lower cut of revenue is tempting, and may open the door to higher quality games on mobile. That could pivot to companies like Facebook distributing Instagram through something like the EGS for iOS; but again, I wouldn't bet on it.

Three industries will be massively benefited by this change: Gaming, Gambling, and Porn.
> But then, firmware is weirder than we give it credit for. It's even hard to say exactly what it is. That used to be easy – firmware was software built into hardware (don't mention microcode.)

Maybe this is just my bias as a low-level MCU programmer, but I wonder if this isn't a definition problem more than anything else. To my mind, if your code has problems like this:

> We notice the old devices piling up in a desk drawer, hardware perfectly fine but with ancient firmware that just won't play with modern services.

Then it's not firmware, it's full-fledged software, and ought to be treated as such. Calling a smartphone OS "firmware" is particularly odd to me -- it runs on a general-purposes computer! It takes up gigabytes of storage space! It updates itself over an internet connection that it also manages! -- and I think it gives the wrong idea about the system it's installed on and the nature of the software itself. In particular, anything that needs regular updates is not "firm" in any sense.

It is hard to draw a firm line somewhere between the code in a tiny microcontroller running a battery charger and the operating system running on a general-purpose application processor. Motherboard BIOSes are a bit of a marginal case. But I think there is a useful distinction between "acts like part of the hardware and never needs to be changed" vs. "is the core of the product and when it stops being updated the product quickly becomes useless". Very few people are clamoring to hack on the firmware for their PC's power supply or their car's air conditioner.
this is might be a great example of the difference between what people think they want being completely at odds with how they actually behave

Ah got it! We're in agreement, then. And I also can't live without those tools.
Here's two things to consider about people leaving college;
- These days people are educated with standards in mind. PostgreSQL is the tool of choice in college teaching those standards.
- People are joining the industry as developers, they are more concerned about the DEV tools than they are of the backend. PostgreSQL can keep up with those screwy ORMS no matter how obscure the SQL statements turn out to be. All these people want is to create their project and then move on to the next job. They don't want to deal with the database.
They still have plenty of time to cripple their UI though
