You probably don't know or don't care, but there is more to running a company than producing a new hardware product line (which is important of course too).

Under Tim Cook, Apple's business functions (procurement, manufacturing, operations, financing, retail) had an incredible change in efficiency and cash generating capability. Also, you may notice that Apple Services are an incredibly large and profitable business in their own right, having grown from nothing about a decade ago.

Ya but the word used was best
Interesting point about AI... that really could be a game changer, although to me it doesn't feel like it's as precise as we often ask code to be. Yet.
The $226M is over the next 3 years, so it's approximately $75M/yr. For comparison, this is a decrease from his last grant of $281M in 2019, or $94M/yr. It's a 20% cut in salary for the next three years in a row.

For comparison, Tim Cook made $99M in 2022, and was cut to $49M "target compensation" in 2023 (but he can actually make more, e.g. his 2022 wound up 18% higher than target), and the following 2 years remain to be decided.

So sure Googlers can be angry, but it seems like the message is getting lost that this is compensation for 3 years (not 1) and a meaningful decrease (not increase). It could well wind up being an even bigger decrease than Tim Cook's over the next 3 years, yet Tim is getting praise for taking a cut while people are angry at Sundar?

Seems like the real problem might be that Google makes 3-year CEO grants that people then totally misunderstand.
renting from a big company is way preferable to having a landlord who is renting you their only property and is picky about every little thing you do to their house.

the big business only cares about getting their rent in time. if there is something damaged, the maintenance department takes care of it. at least in germany responsibilities and rights are regulated by law, and the businesses know what they can and can't do. a small landlord takes every issue personal, and you have to negotiate.

i don't live in the same city as my parents, and i'd have no use for any property i would inherit from them.

so yeah, your future is my preferred reality.
Certainly, I don't think React is a trivial library. It's an absolute beast given its narrow scope of application. I suppose my point was that React's narrower scope means it's easier to keep a stable API compared to Angular which has a much broader scope. But maybe you weren't suggesting that's incorrect, and just wanted to point out that React is a rat's nest now (which is totally fair, haha).
It already is built seamlessly into a lot of Google products.

Russia has been the one wanting all the pipelines open this whole time and the US has been the one demanding they stop existing. Your argument is fooy.
This article is a little misleading and makes vague allusions to water getting shipped from the great lakes to places like California but the agreement we have with Canada prohibits sending the water outside of the watershed (or was it basin?) of the great lakes. Lake Michigan could possibly be tapped for California, it might not be a part of the agreement with Canada since it is completely in the US boundaries (but is still an important part of the system so might be included in the agreement with Canada) but it would be a difficult thing to accomplish since it would take four states and the Federal government coming to an agreement on how to share those profits and expenses.
People can make a case for the developer productivity benefits of rails to a startup or business, but it’s hard to see it as worth the cost to the Mastodon community as a whole. But maybe it’s won the Fediverse market because of the depth of features which is a benefit of that productivity.
I don't really understand the point you are trying to make.
I'm a bit sceptical of the "no moat" proposition because (a) ChatGPT 4.0 really does seem in a different league and (b) it's clearly very hard to run. I haven't seen anything from the explosion of open source / community efforts that comes close for general applications.

The take in the post rings of the classic trademark Google arrogance where they assume that if somebody else can do it they can do it better if they just try - where the challenge of "just trying" is discounted to zero. In reality, "Just trying" is massively important and sometimes all that is important. The gap between unrefined model output and the level of polish and refinement that is apparent with ChatGPT 4 may appear technically small but it's the whole difference between a widely applicable and usable product and something that can't be more than a toy. I'm not sure Google has it in it any more to really fight for something they want to achieve that level of polish.
Agree a little different approaches, we found many developers wanted to stick with a 100% code approach and avoid the constraints of using an online drag and drop builder like retool/anvil etc. Instead opting to stick a traditional code tech stack that provides benefits like easier version control with ui and reviews with larger teams. Where as with a low code tool you are now forced to develop on the ui platform and locked in by the vendor.

We have also had some users build some fairly large Pynecone apps including our whole website built in our own framework.
I haven't watched 'TV' in any traditional sense for over 20 years.

I either pirate (proudly; piracy is a net good for society and will eventually be normalized), or pay for nor DRM digital media, see stuff in theaters, or buy physical discs.

Not to mention gaming and browsing has taken a lot more of my time than simply watching something because it happens to be on.
People who havent found a relationship are just people. People that base their identity on being an incel, in which celibacy is a status that is inflicted on them, tend to hold a cluster of beliefs that express as anger towards women as a class (for withholding sex from them) and an unwillingness to engage in honest self reflection and growth.

It is common to see some one with that mindset to see outcomes as inevitable or as a function of things wholly out of their control such as looks or a perceived social dynamic involving 'chads' and 'staceys' that they are ineluctably locked out of.

Just some real bad vibes.

> Once your fingers have learned to speak Vim, they don't want to speak anything else!

My experience is that this definitely isn't true. Not only have I happily used all sorts of text editors in my life; I use emacs keybindings in Unix shells.

> Search in your browser with ctrl/cmd + f.

The irony is not lost that this doesn't say to search in my browser using slash. (-:

The page is also unconsciously right that it should be talking about VIM, not vi. VIM happily recognizes the [Insert] key on my keyboard. Original Joy vi would not have. Even today, nvi ends up swapping the case of a character when I press the [Insert] key in one terminal emulator.
not feudalism, because these corporations can be well regulated and renters rights protected by law.
I believe they had a sales office in Moscow, which was enough for the rumor mill. "Had" being key, as around the same time they pulled out of Russia.
Questions:

1. If you are using this to authenticate a non-Google service, can Google cut off your access to that service?

2. If your Google account is terminated, do you still have access to non-Google services?

3. Does Google possess sufficient information to log into non-Google services as you?

4. In the event that any of the above happen, do you still have the right to sue Google?

If the Concorde went FTL, it would definitely still be in service, no matter the cost. Still, I've done a bit of math, and it seems to say the energy required would make it prohibitively expensive for everyone, billionaires included. So maybe it wouldn't still be in service. But hey, you never know.

Anyway, given that the Concorde actually flew Heathrow to Barbados, which is further than Hawaii to Tokyo *; that says to me it had enough range to get from Hawaii to Tokyo, at least on paper. Regardless, there have been significant improvements to airplane technology since the 1970's when the Concorde was built. The four engine 747 isn't even being manufactured, in part because engines are so much better Boeing doesn't need four of em like that. (The fact that the large Airbus planes have four is not lost on me, but that doesn't change the fact that we've progressed since the 70's). If they'd managed to hang on until there was a third generation Concorde, I think they'd still be flying.

The part I'm interested in is the why of super sonic travel (SST) being dead. It clearly is, no denying that. But saying people just weren't willing to pay what it costs is an oversimplification that doesn't capture any of the business-side issues, or other parts of the story that took it down. The fuel crisis in the 70's is another thing that didn't help. The airshow crash was another nail in its coffin.

As far as the Blackbird, that first flew in 1964.

This is a cut throat game of capitalism, you do know that right? He's going to be rewarded for making these cuts. There is no downside for the winners.

Hope.....unfortunately that's not how the game is played. Unions, worker protections, and taxes on the wealthy those are real actionable goals.
No, there are much worse. They are just stupid, at least on mine.
Yeah agree with sibling comment: both. Never trust a machine, an algorithm, a piece of software. Maybe unless it has been built to extremely stringent specifications that are publicly available and verifiable -- which is blatantly not the case for proprietary closed-source search engines.
The relevant question is what you own when you purchase a car.

If I own something, nobody else should have the right to disable features of it remotely unless I pay them indefinitely.

If I've bought a car with an engine in it of some specific number of HP, it shouldn't be up to anyone else to tell me I can't actually use all the HP because I'm not paying them forever. That's some real mafia-type of arrangement.
Not saying you think this, just adding to the conversation.. the pin is to unlock that factor and passkeys should not be taken to mean that MFA for accounts is not needed.
Since there is yet to be a single positive top-level comment (at the time I’m posting), I’ll make one. This is effing amazing. I am so happy to hear this. It is the best news I’ve read in a month. Maybe in several.
> Mind share and being dramatically better than the competition is indeed a moat.

That's literally the opposite of what "moat" means, so no. You can't just make up different definitions for accepted terms if you want to have a productive conversation with anyone.
What makes you think it isn't an actual memo?
Absolutely not. When I was single and looking but not finding I was not 'involuntarily celibate', thats a designation you self select into.

Being an incel is something you choose. Everyone else just isn't having sex.
How is battery tech failure inevitable?

One of my close friends did this. Moved a few hours out of town to the countryside. Bought a nice house (still with a mortgage, but at a fraction of the price of houses in the city). His company went 100% remote during covid, so he had full job flexibility.

Then a few months ago they mandated return to work, with no exceptions. He tried to negotiate, but just got an ultimatum – move back or get fired. He has had his resume out for months but in the current job market fully remote jobs have all but dried up.

So, the situation you mention is all pleasant until it isn't. Our lives are still tied to our corporate overlords, and very few have the luxury to pack up and get away from the grind.
I have not seen anything in this trailer hinting at that.
To be fair, underage sex is not quite equivalent to underage people having social media.

The other poster's "discrimination" argument is kind of stretching it, but I feel like the core of the issue is that social media has a lot of positive aspects, and we should at least consider the relative significance of positive and negative effects of social media before banning it altogether.

How much do kids lose by not being able to communicate through social media? Is it more or less than how much they gain from such protection?
Yes I'd say that you're wrong with that.

To start, it wasn't that short sellers were ruining the market. If you spent any time there, you'd see that they, too, short stocks.

Second, it definitely wasn't made up. GME was tremendously shorted. And there were more shares shorted than existed. This is not a unique phenomenon and is possible due to a concept called "naked shorting".

It also didn't stop going up because people pumping it stopped. They literally disabled the ability for people to buy more. That is what killed the momentum. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/28/robinhood-interactive-broker...
Didn't the PRC buy 4 AP1000s and then start building their own knockoff? (not pirated so much as that was one of their demands and Westinghouse accepted)?
> Ban at the source.

I think we need a stricter regulatory mechanism for proving the safety of products that can pose a substantial risk to health or the environment, akin to that of the FDA.

Right now, it seems like you can put something relatively unproven on the market, and by the time we realize it’s unsafe, everyone has become dependent on it.

In response, companies cook up an analog that does the same thing, and the market switches to that.

Eventually, we discover that the analog suffers from very similar issues, and the entire process starts over again.

Being alive at the time, I remember there was a lot of demonizing one's opponents, much like today in fact. I remember anti-war protestors being thought of as free love fornicating, pot smoking, communists and police and soldiers being called pigs and baby killers.

Once your opponent is dehumanized in this way, the violence that follows is easily justified, certainly in the heat of the moment. It becomes easy to throw rocks at police and burn ROTC buildings. It becomes easy to shoot protestors who are enemies of the state.
Microsoft will probably eventually integrate it into their Xbox services, and possibly games via their own first-party studios.

In my opinion Microsoft has equal or more reach/subsidy advantage than Google for AI, at least toward general consumers.
Location data seems like a better fit for maps, which would tie in to searches for X, and maybe include some sort of coupon that when used also gave a small kickback to the route which the customer got it via.

n=1, in high school I was smoking a lot of weed, and started having what I discovered years later are called "ideas of reference," where you start getting the sense that the people around you are talking about you, but secretly. At face value, there's nothing you can point to as evidence of this, because it all appears to be normal conversation, but there's a secret meaning that only you can hear. You're basically projecting your unconscious onto random stimuli, like the conversations of bystanders.

If you start believing that this is reality, then it becomes "delusions of reference."

I later learned this can be related to low folate or B12, and suspect that was also a cause.

Interestingly enough, I'm also fairly confident I'm autistic.
I'm currently driving a car from 2007 because of how much I do not want the "connected" features that have become standard since the advent of smartphones.

I can't even find anyone who will sell me one with those features disabled. My only option is just to buy cars from before those features existed, and it gets harder every year.
I think you might want to give my comment another read. It doesn’t seem we disagree as much as you believe.
Good thing nobody uses bluesky, this would be really awkward otherwise.
Inside or out, it sounds like someone with an agenda to convince Google to release its model in the wild. I feel that all the more so because it is never stated explicitly but it's the obvious conclusion from reading between the lines. Things like hinting that Meta is a huge winner from LLaMa getting released (this isn't obvious to me at all).

The pitch being that if Google makes its models public it can race back to the forefront of "owning" the AI space and then capture the value of owning the underlying platform, like Android and Chrome.

The kind of scenario I imagine is that this is an insider who wants out but a huge amount of their work / investment / value is tied up with models they can't take with them.
The top finance firms like Citadel, Jane Street, Two Sigma, and the like have the best paying tech roles, but also comparatively much fewer of them than FAANG and the top tech companies. They're also extremely difficult to get into. I don't remember where but I read someone saying it's easier to get an offer from all letters of the FAANG pantheon than it is to get an offer from Jane Street.

Also different banks pay better or worse. Goldman is the top of the hierarchy and pays competitively with a mid tier tech company depending on your team and role. JP Morgan is second place.

The rest of the pack (BoA, Citi, UBS, WF, others) probably can't compete with most tech companies.
This is probably the best argument I've seen here. Everyone else is just saying "well, we always just did it that way".

I wonder however: would it be possible to combine lexers and parsers into a single logical construct, but rely on caching to get the same effect?

Good advice in here. The focus on assertion-oriented programming is interesting. Erlang doesn't have assertions available in application code directly, but I think structure-enforced assignments are really similar in practice.
Just picking and choosing the best features from my favorite apps:

- TaskPaper tags are nice, but isn't multi-platform.

- I like search+creation UX of nvAlt (explained well on: https://notational.net/), but no decent non-mac clients. Also non-plaintext richtext gets in the way.

- I use SimpleNote because it's multiplatform, but the tags are hard to use. Also somethings like inter-note tags are just a distraction for me (I prefer just being able to type brackets []).

- Drafts probably has the best plaintext editing experience, especially on mobile. Also the actions are very powerful.

My app will combine tasks + notes + bookmarks. I've been making prototypes of subsets of the features, like:

no, they need to compete with other companies for the talent pool of CEOs. There is a market for such leaders, and if they drop the pay too low they will not get the same quality CEO, and they won't incentivize the CEO they have to the same extent.
I won't say this is the explicit reason recursive descent parsers have separate lexers, but there is a major downside to folding the lexer into a recursive descent parser, which would occur when/if you make the leap to packrat parsing. If the parsed language develops far enough you'll often run into edge cases where backtracking can become pathological. One benefit to recursive descent is that you can often just fix this by memoizing the parser functions (called a packrat parser).

However, you really don't want to memoize calls to lexer-y parser functions because it's almost always faster and less memory-intensive to simply re-lex the source string. This gets more complicated if you're parsing a stream (but if your language is being parsed from a stream you should definitely be giving strong preference to language constructs which don't require backtracking).
