> TF2 ships its own malloc() implementation, but the graphics driver code ends up using it inconsistently and so blows up) then you're going to have problems. I don't think there's anything about Windows that would fundamentally change things here.

Yes, there is: on Windows, due to the way DLL linking works there, the graphics driver wouldn't use the malloc() implementation from TF2. The flat linking namespace in which you can globally replace the memory allocator for every dynamic library does not exist on Windows; if the graphics driver is linked to the memory allocator from the C library, it will get the memory allocator from that C library, not from some other DLL in the same process.

That's not to say Windows is free of dynamic linking problems. While on Linux it's mostly only NSS and the graphics driver (and only when explicitly requested), on Windows it's common for unrelated third party software to inject DLLs and threads all over every process on the system. And it's not uncommon for these injected DLLs to do things like hooking into system DLLs (by overwriting the entry point of exported functions, or even internal functions), leading to hard-to-diagnose crashes when things are not like they expected.
Very on point and I can truly relate to all of this. I'm so frustrated by the whole process that I've started to decline live coding interviews and any take-home exercises that take more than half a day to complete. Although I have over a decade experience in my field, have been a tech-lead at some of the largest corps, contributed to open source, mentored many Engineers, and really enjoy software, this whole experience is pushing me away from the field. I kind of don't care to prove anything to anyone anymore over a 45min interview... will probably start a small biz and move far away from "silicon valley" types of people/mindsets.

Well the web is a much more open platform that surely promotes innovation and benefits everyone. In aggregate, the web and it's myriad of open and free protocols is indeed running circles around Apple. So much so, Apple cannot exist without them.
To be pedantic, 100km/h is the arithmetic mean. Of course this is the wrong tool to use (which is your point) but 100km/h is the correct answer if by mean you intend to say arithmetic mean.

From the article: Apple introduced high-yield savings accounts. This is interesting, what would be the motivation for somebody to use this? Is return noticeably better than other institutions? Why Apple is doing it at all?

I’ll believe it if we survive the AI ”arms race”.

Also clearly capitalism has made “some people” rich, not those mining cobalt for your Teslas though, they’re still ruined. Then there the anxiety around the fact that it wouldn’t be sustainable if we all lived like wealthy Americans. So it’s really a limited system.

I had an experience where I believe a single bed bug somehow made its home in my home. I was getting occasional bumps on my skin that looked like bites. At first I got worried and threw a bunch of my possessions out and inspected my bed area but then I just wrote it off to mosquitos.

A few months later I was outside my house and felt something on my neck. After slapping it I came to the conclusion it was most likely a lone bed bug.

Not everyone reacts to the bites severely so some just write it off as mosquito bites or a rash like me. Also in order to get an infestation from a hitch hiking bedbug one of the following conditions must be met:

1. A male and female bedbug must both hitch a ride together and later successfully reproduce. OR

2. A pregnant female must hitch a ride. OR

3. There must already be a single bedbug present at your address and the hitchhiking bedbug must be of the opposite sex. These two bedbugs must go on to successfully reproduce.

Keep in mind also that the hitchhiker must make it all the way home to the residence and not wander off somewhere before hand.

Hotels and people who travel to decent hotels are quite aware of bedbugs too so the chance of encountering bedbugs and taking them home from there is quite low. e.g doing simple stuff like not leaving your luggage on or near your bed mitigates a lot of risk.
Downloading some sketchy binaries is one thing. Using generated license key is another thing. Many users would avoid first thing because of fear of download a virus (and for a good reason!). But using some online keygen or running keygen in VM once is not a big deal.

IMO best way to implement license check is: using asymmetric crypto (so it's impossible to write keygen) and online activation (so it's impossible to share key).
... That involve cookware?
Yeah, using Apple Pay isn't a slam dunk if you have one card you use for everything, and always have with you. Where it shines is that it can relieve you from having to carry around three credit cards (gas, grocery, everything else), a warehouse membership card, retail club card, etc.
Yeah, despite how hard bed bugs are to get rid of once you have them, that Airbnbs aren't constantly plagued with bed bugs shows that spreading them probably isn't as simple as just moving luggage through a place that has them.

You probably have to not just get some passengers in your luggage but also park the luggage in a place in the infected location where they actual fester, sleep, and lay eggs.

It's somewhat reassuring.

I guess more precisely I should say it doesn’t take “much” money to be an Android ODM/OEM and ship with AOSP.

I’m referring to the millions and of course cost per unit go down depending on how many units you commit to.

The hardest part is dealing with manufacturers and suppliers. In the US, building phones this way is not as popular as building vertical market hardware for kiosks and special putouse devices.

You choose your screen size. memory, SOC etc. It’s been awhile. But I spent a few years working in field services during the transition from companies using Windows CE to Android for industrial ruggedized devices.
Right, it’s much more difficult to generalize than to specialize.

Between the face ID part, the awkward interaction for selecting the card, and the inconsistency for loading the wallet app, I disagree in my personal experience. Plus, how often do you have your phone in your hand when you’re checking out somewhere? Realistically, I’m either taking my phone out of one pocket or my wallet out of a different pocket, there’s not a huge difference in time or effort. And one of them I know will work quickly and seamlessly, the other one works most of the time with a few extra steps.
I think it has a lot to do with costly signalling - Apple has focused on being the luxury option. That's what a lot of people really want; the closed ecosystem and UX are secondary concerns.
Thanks -- I have a iPhone but don't use Apple Pay. No way do I want to connect my phone to my bank account, and in any other respect I have not been able to imagine how it's better than a credit card.

I've seen people fiddling with their phones trying to pay for stuff, reminds me of the days when you'd get behind someone trying to write out a check.

> Sometimes new technology is really just overcomplicating things.

Wholeheartedly agree. There's nothing about paying for something at a point of sale that needs fixing with additional technology.
The courts are going to always be obsessed with one practical scenario. I take e.g. Harry Potter, put it through an LLM with the prompting of essentially writing the exact same thing with slightly different characters, locations, and phrasings. And then put it up for sale (or free download), making no secret of the fact that it's essentially the same book.

If an LLM reaches a sufficient capability that this can be achieved while maintaining a roughly comparable level of readability, then you'd have just completely legalized 'piracy by proxy'. And the same would come to every single medium from movies to software. This is going to make it an extremely difficult question to answer.

I expect what it come down to is determinism. LLMs are completely deterministic - same model + same input + same seed = same output. And so any seller will be obligated to retain any model composition/data, and any copyright holder of an input training item will have a copyright claim on any output item. In other words, you can only train on stuff you already have the copyright to, or rights to.
Yes, I understood, but "mmap a file" that should be a database is not "easy", because now you can deal with segfaults and other weird things that are out the normal playbook.

Of course, depending on the other things of the list this is or not a major issue. Is more about how combining several ideas leads to a easy or complex implementation.
Yes. It's significantly better than the average interest rate of savings accounts in general. Most of the big banks have abysmal interest rates for savings accounts. That said there definitely are options that provide a bit higher rate than Apple. The other reason would likely just be convenience.
It’s so hard to get rid of an infestation of the wealthy.
Hum, no.

I had this belief before, that it helps makes the product better.

But I realized that telemetry is used against us. It helps the company push their own agenda, and manipulate the user.

For example, I'm used to update my Android apps manually. Google made it more and more difficult, version by version, to access the corresponding screen in the Google play app, in order to push for auto-update. They analyzed this through telemetry.
The author is playing with fire.

I also have used ChatGPT for coding and it hallucinated APIs, twice now, that sent me researching down a rabbit hole.

When I have asked it to do things I know how to do and how to evaluate, it has sometimes given very good answers. Other times it misunderstood the problem in a subtle way— and if I hadn’t known enough I would have accepted a program that performed the wrong analysis.

If you have to accept the quality of the solution on faith you are playing russian roullette with your reputation.

I asked a student to analyze the randomness of set of data. He got a program from ChatGPT without knowing anything about how statistical testing for randomness works. He thus accepted a program from the bot that was hilariously unreliable.

I cannot say I have ever encountered any of the problems you describe and I use Apple Pay daily to pay for everything. Just double tap the power button before paying and hold it to the terminal, it takes like 2 seconds.
Haiku uses the System V ABI (mostly.) So, we're doing the same things Linux and the BSDs are here, simply by using GCC or Clang without any special tuning here.

> I reckon that before trying to claim you've innovated here it might be a good sense check to compare baseline.

The baseline is "what are other operating systems' kernel- and userland-level condition variables APIs?" And none of the ones I looked at had anything like what Haiku has here, they all have something which is the more classical "lock-switched condvars" just like POSIX has.

The API itself does not depend on what memory ordering semantics are any more than a "mutex_lock()" API does. The implementation will be somewhat contingent on it, of course, but those are two separate matters.

> What exactly are the Haiku atomic operations, in terms of the C++ 11 Memory Model?

The atomic_() functions are (on most architectures, x86 included) implemented using GCC/Clang's __atomic_* functions, with various __ATOMIC_* orderings chosen as appropriate. You can see them defined in the system header here: https://github.com/haiku/haiku/blob/master/headers/os/suppor...

> because you're innovating before 2011, you're inventing the model

No, not really? GCC has had atomic builtins since at least 4.1.0 in 2006. The documentation (https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.1.0/gcc/Atomic-Builtins...) says: "In most cases, these builtins are considered a full barrier. That is, no memory operand will be moved across the operation, either forward or backward." -- which is basically equivalent to today's __ATOMIC_SEQ_CST.

> so Haiku is off in the jungle on its own and everybody else has a map now, figure out where you are on that map first.

We already did that years ago. The atomic_*() functions linked above in SupportDefs.h have been implemented using the C++11-standard GCC builtins since 2014, and the older __sync_* builtins for years before that.

Anyway, the algorithm described in this article, even if Haiku's atomic functions were not 1:1 with C++11-standard definitions (which they are, as noted above), is clearly portable to other OS kernels. So I am not sure what basis your comment has, regardless.
Yeah, the only reason I use it at all is for my less frequently used cards for special purposes. Cards I wouldn’t normally carry with me in my wallet, but it’s nice to have in case I randomly need them. So it’s nice to have the option, I just don’t understand how anyone would expect Apple Pay to replace the simplicity of credit cards for normal high-volume transactions.
No, you can't do an exhaustive search.

Say you're a library author. You distribute pre-built library files.

You've already lost because the compiler does not know your clients' code when it compiles your library.

I am not kidding when I say it's provably impossible.
By contrast, I do not carry a wallet typically, and Apple Pay on my watch is my standard approach. Places that don’t accept it just don’t get my business, and it is vastly quicker than searching through a wallet for the card I want.
> True but I await the day that happens! The Brits don’t go in for revolution but there’d be all hell to pay if this occurred.

Probably not if, as was the case the last time it happened (in 1708), it was because of what was perceived as a radical change of relevant circumstance in between the law being passed and the expected date of royal assent.

(Of course, refusal of royal assent to colonial laws in North America did happen after that, without that reason, and did cause, or at least contribute to, a revolution in those colonies.)
I'd have to look amongst some old bookmarks on a backup to prompt my memory of the older sites that could still exist - but the problem is the big search engines don't go near them to even spider them in the first place, so little discovery by potential readers.

I guess they did not apply the SSNIP test to define the relevant market:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_but_significant_and_non-...

If apple raised their prices for apps by 5%, clearly most users would not jump ship to android, since they have a large library of apps on iOS and significant other platform lock-in (messages, photos, subscriptions etc). So according to this test, the relevant product market would be "providing apps for iOS devices", which apple clearly has a monopoly on at the moment. I wonder if this argument came up.
No, over here they're making sure that everyone has enough handguns to carry around concealed and without a license. You can never have enough handguns.
Is that a bias? or do those images just look more like those categories at the pixel level?

There is a reason those words are the ones chosen by racists in the first place. Not just because they're hurtful, but because there is an objective similarity that makes the rest of the comparison seem, however shallowly, to validate their views.

Removing bias with censorship at the training set level is silly, and will likely hamper the AI's performance. Better to train the AI to not produce problematic output at the higher level, and ensure class membership in the training data is representative.
Most businesses are not very good at figuring out if they are hiring the right people.

While I agree about the awkwardness of the phone, I’ve found my Apple Watch to be extremely convenient as a way to pay. Simply double click the side button without needing to look and tap it on the reader. Doesn’t get easier than that. And like someone else said, it makes having many payment options available without fattening your wallet. Costco for example, only takes Mastercards in canada and I don’t use the master card anywhere else
Even in my experience of doing all of the wiring for the studio, it only took a couple of weeks. By the end of it, I had started to get the hang of what type of bend the conduit would need, and how to measure so the bend would be exactly where it was supposed to be without having to cut some straight pieces to couple the "oops". So the speed would have come naturally just like with any other newbie gaining experience. Doing it "right" doesn't mean doing it slowly, nor does going slow guarantee correctness.
Update on this: We do now include Turbo by default and the "Cable Collections" feature in the linked video has been completely reimplemented by the CableReady team in a feature called "Updatable", which we now use in Bullet Train. You can learn more about it at https://cableready.stimulusreflex.com/guide/updatable.html . Very grateful for the work they did on this and grateful to not have to maintain a proprietary reactivity library going forward!
I love Apple Pay. Being able to simply tap my watch to get through just about any MTA (New York City transit) turnstile makes every other public transit experience practically unbearable by comparison. The execution is flawless.
Interestingly enough, there's a bit of a forced/easier savings as well for some folks. You can set your 'Daily Cash' (cashback you earn from an Apple Card) to deposit directly into the Savings account. It makes 'saving' a bit more seamless, and, indirectly, encourages spending on their Apple Card, I assume.
Do remember that card with tap functionality are pretty new in the US, Apple Pay (and similar) came several years earlier. If you live in a place where tap cards came first, use of Apple Pay is much lower for obvious reasons.

Since I got tap on my latest credit card I'm actually using it more than Apple Pay. Not because of convenience, but because there's zero reason for me to hand over my purchase information to Apple for free.

All that said, when I do use Apple Pay, I double-click the phone first to unlock the card and then tap the phone to the terminal. That sequence makes the whole thing much less awkward, because you don't have to click and make sure the phone can faceid-unlock while you're holding it in a weird angle on the terminal.
> There’s no need to speculate, the reason we say Parliament is sovereign is that Parliament ordered Charles I executed for defying them.

Refusal of Royal Assent has happened since then, and not caused similar responses, though (in England; parts of British North America are…a different story; no regicide of course, but the monarchy itself was replaced.)
I didn't say that. I said that at the school that I worked at, those are the rough numbers. While this is not the norm, it is not unusual in rural American schools.'

The national average, however, is obviously not close at all. There are probably many entire districts where the number is 0

How is something a “luxury” that is owned by over 50% of the American market?

Since it is easy to pay for a phone on an installment plan, anyone making $15-$20 a hour can pay for one with two hours a month. Even your typical fast food restaurant has to pay that much these days to attract workers.
I occasionally have those frustrations but for me, leaving without my wallet is worth it. Most places I go I don’t need it unless I need my ID for booze or something (technically could pull that up on my phone but not sure who accepts it even when it’s actually valid legal ID)
I just switched from a Google Pixel 5 and while I still use Apple Pay, I've gotta say that fingerprint + scan is way faster than {double tap + faceid + scan}. The friction of Apple's approach is _almost_ enough to make me pull out my card instead depending on how well FaceID is working that day for me.
Thank you for pointing this out! Fixing now!
I also downsized camera gear and much, much prefer it. A version of the old saying, the best camera is the one you'll actually take out.
