Individually, perhaps not. In aggregate, there definitely could be more resources made available for critical services if you could make the org 20% more efficient just by getting rid of people who think they're entitled to a huge paycheck for chilling.
I don't work much with extensible records myself, but maybe an easier solution is to invert it so the item variants are contained in a field:

| Shoes { size: Float }

That is so true, at least as far as an exaggregated picturesque example goes. Already 20 years ago, stories started to pop up about farms offering holidays for kids from cities with immunological health problems. The explanation was, and it just feels like a logical thing to happen, that overly clean environments lead to all sorts of health issues, and putting kids in contact with a bunch of dirt and around animals can improve things. Presented by mainstream media, in ya face. And then there came covid-19, and suddenly there "we" were, spraying everything with disinfectant, and overall worsening the immune system of everyone by artifical separation and even mandated house arrest. And if you remembered the past, and happened to utter something about that making the immune system even worse, you were outcast as a lunatic. And what happened? We had a big wave of infections of small children after the pandemic, with overfilled hospitals and everything, as a result of avoiding certain infections you always happen to get. Postponing these almost created yet another crisis. Ah, but meddling is always a good thing I guess, and pointing at people with different opinions, thats also very important for apes. When it comes to "how to life your live" we are such a pathetic species blinded by materialism and systematically stupified by the media. And, everyone writing such a statement is automatically sort of cast aside as crazy. Its a lovely place.

Argument: AI has a possibility of destroying everyone's jobs so they can no longer make a living and the world is extremely uncaring toward people with no income and so they will die penniless on the street and those that don't will be heavily exploited by the rich.

Counter-argument: But they can still sit around playing music if they want!

No, not if they're indentured servants. I'm not saying AI will destroy most jobs, but I am saying that if it does, the fact that we can still pursue our own creative desires independent of what the AI is doing is missing the point. We've created a world where an explosion of AI capabilities would allow the rich to no longer need the poor, and they will 100% exploit that. It's not AI's fault, it's the worship of the rich and the false equivalence that wealth == human value.

If someone is lamenting that there's now no chance they can make money by being a musician, telling them "whatever, just do what you love for free instead, and wait tables for 80 hours per week for an absolute pittance to make money" is not comforting.
Same here.i also want the upload feature, which MY ChatGPT Plus lacks.
That depends. The US is really cheap if your factory is fully automated, and Apple makes enough phones that full automation seems like it should be a win. For smaller production runs cheap labor is cheaper than the cost of building automation. Optimizing these curves is hard. (Note that China is really a lot cost of labor country anymore, and so production is moving away, but this is a long slow process, not to mention China is investing in automation and reportedly doing well)
Yeah, inferencing capabilities is small-fries. If you have an ARMv8 multicore system, you can leverage ARMNN acceleration for a variety of AI tasks. Intel CPUs have OpenVINO and AVX2, and Ryzen systems can at least get some of the SIMD optimizations. I can run Stable Diffusion and LLaMA on my Broadcom SOC, if I wanted.

The biggest issues (imo) are centered around the runtime and compute capabilities. CUDA is a software juggernaut, and simply stepping up to the plate would require an unprecedented investment on Apple's part. It might be impossible anyways, CUDA supports more CPU arches than MacOS does and goes all-in on containerization tech that the current XNU kernel simply doesn't work with. And then there's the performance problem - datacenters won't want to invest in top-end consumer SOCs when Nvidia hardware scales better and offers better power efficiency.

These posts just leave me baffled. Nvidia owns the AI development game because they own the datacenter. Apple gave up on the datacenter with Xserve. There is a market for consumer inferencing acceleration, but Apple doesn't seem any better positioned here than Intel is. Nvidia has the better reputation for not depreciating their hardware features too...

The value of a "good man" must be set by the parents. It can change based on who those parents are. If parents don't define what it means then the kid will figure it out based on other influences. The negative of this is often seen when there is an absent father. In that case unfortunately the mother has to work twice as hard with no support.

For me, (athiest as well) I'm slightly right of center or probably right smack in the middle of what used to be the center a decade ago. I don't think there is such a thing as toxic masculinity.

I teach my kids that to be a man means:
being kind to those less fortunate than you or even to those that you disagree with. I teach them that if someone puts a hand on you or someone you care about then all bets are off, fight until they can't continue or you can't. To lose is to risk death when not in a controlled environment (boxing ring, etc).
Don't be a bully either physically or emotionally.
No one is better than you. Never let anyone shame you for what you are.
Always try your best.
Look after the people that rely on you.
You live the life that you earn.

There is more but that's the gist. Essentially boys look at their father to learn what a man is. If he is absent or does not give them attention they will seek validation else where.

> And somehow people defend this system

The defenders of the system are entirely medical workers and owners.

The various medical lobbies/cartels are incredibly strong.
.htaccess doesn't have to affect performance; this is more of a historical artifact. With an HTTP server expecting a read-only site root, you could only read every .htaccess once, when you replaced the site root filesystem with a new version. A user could still see a read-write filesystem, only with a "save" button (command, etc.) that created and mounted a new read-only site root.

While it is a performance and security burden, people reject .htaccess is too readily. It has enabled users who aren't quite programmers to assemble sites out of web applications and components that live in different subdirectories. It has clear value. (Not that I think nginx should implement it.)

Are you one of those people that love the ACA but hate obamacare?
A huge reason hospitals lose money is due to the amount of charity care they provide. There is a saying that "Reagan instituted universal healthcare in the US, he just didn't institute a way to pay for it." That is, during Reagan's time, laws were passed that required hospitals to provide emergency care regardless of an individual's ability to pay. But no laws were passed then that actually funded that mandate.

So in rural areas where you have more people in poverty, if they had health insurance hospitals would be better able to actually collect payment for the legally required services they provide.
Yeah, we do a lot of those and they do take a lot longer, and with much wider variance. On the order of 500ms-5s. These are all done async so it’s not a problem but we have begun dual writing to clickhouse to get us out of the aggregations business.

Caddy cannot be found in the default repositories of Debian or RHEL. This raises the question of why one would use such a server. Personally, I am hesitant to download a random pre-built executable from Github, even if it is open source. I would much rather use the apt or dnf version, as anything else seems like just another toy server.

I'd add to that, because I think this sometimes isn't obvious for Linux users:

Getting things to work as well on a variety of Linuxes is something that would take us as long as implementing a new feature that a bunch of our users care about. But the former helps some subset of 1% of our users, whereas the latter helps the majority of 99% of our users.

It's not about not caring about Linux; both of us on the project come from a Linux multimedia background (we're both former KDE developers). But at some point in a business you have to decide which place of focusing our effort leaves more users happy.
They definitely come from the hardware, I'm talking about profits from the sale of hardware alone.

In April 2023, Apple has a 30% market share of smartphones worldwide [1]. And in the first 3 months of 2023, Apple accounted for 50% of global smartphone revenue... and 80 percent of the industry's profits [2]. These is smartphone revenue, not services revenue. (Apple makes money from the App Store too but that's separate.)

80% of industry profit from 30% market share is certainly not a commodity. Cheap Android phones are a commodity. iPhones are the polar opposite.

I still love nginx, but it's a damn shame they gate some really useful features behind their nginx plus license, namely service discovery via DNS SRV records, cache purge requests and request queueing for upstreams.
goda[0] is excellent. You do do things like:

# show the impact of cutting any package
goda cut ./...:all

which prints a sorted ASCII table with stats like 'size:4.4MB loc:134171' for each package, which is an estimate the savings you'd get if you eliminated that package from your binary. That is a great way to see what is unexpectedly large compared to its value.

goda has a bunch of other capabilities around dependency analysis, and was written by long-time Go contributor Egon Elbre. The examples in the README are the best way to get started after 'go install github.com/loov/goda@latest'.

I'd have expected that other-Sean-Carroll, in the other world that split off at the point of the observation, observed down, didn't he? (Since Carroll is a many-worlds fundamentalist and insists that the unitary evolution of the Schrodinger equation is the underlying truth, with the apparent existence of this or that particular branch of the many worlds tree being some kind of epiphenomenon. Unless I misunderstood his claims.)

In any case, I think many-worlders like Carroll would fall into the "perspectival" camp in the terms of the linked article:

> A counterexample that allows for nonabsoluteness of observed events is the “many worlds” interpretation of quantum mechanics. In this view, our example wave function will branch into multiple contemporaneous realities, such that in one “world,” the system will come up heads, while in another, it’ll be tails. In this conception, there is no collapse. “So the question of what happens is not absolute; it’s relative to a world,” Ormrod says. Of course, in trying to avoid the collapse-induced measurement problem, the many worlds interpretation introduces the mind-numbing branching of wave functions and runaway proliferation of worlds at each and every fork in the quantum road—an unpalatable scenario for many.

> Nevertheless, the many worlds interpretation is an example of what are called perspectival theories, wherein the outcome of a measurement depends on the observer’s perspective.

The claim referenced in the article is that those who, unlike "perspectivists", prefer to think of the world we live in as objectively real, or in the article's terms believe in "absoluteness" of observations, will have to give up one of three widely held assumptions: 1) Bell nonlocality, which brings with it the assumption of free will on the part of experimentalists (Gerard t'Hooft can get off the bus at this point), 2) information preservation (information is never really destroyed, it just gets harder and harder to retrieve) and 3) local dynamics: "the transformation of the full system can be decomposed into transformations of its individual parts".

I don't pretend to fully understand any of these three, but where the article looks at local dynamics as the weak sister my (uninformed) instinct would be to look harder at information preservation: if "wavefunction collapse" is objectively real, for example, why should the details of the pre-collapse superposed state be in-principle-retrievable after the collapse?
You're reading way more emotion into that statement than I meant to write. I meant it strictly literally and apathetically: both creators have fans who will jump in to reassure onlookers that things are actually moving forward.
This will remain to be seen for a decent amount of time. Generative AI is pretty far from making games as good as the new Zelda without a lot of human work involved (hopefully in the short term we see an indie renaissance).

The article is arguing that private payers don't reimburse rural hospitals enough, not that lack of medicaid or obamacare is an issue. Perhaps your premise is correct but it is at odds with the article, I would be interested in hearing more about why you disagree with the article.

From the article "The biggest problem facing small rural hospitals is inadequate
payments from private health plans. Most “solutions” for rural hospitals have focused on increasing Medicare or Medicaid payments or expanding Medicaid eligibility due to a mistaken belief that most rural patients are insured by Medicare and Medicaid or are uninsured. In reality, about half of the services at the average rural hospital are delivered to patients with private insurance (both employer-sponsored insurance and Medicare Advantage plans). In most cases, the amounts these private plans pay, not Medicare or Medicaid payments, determine whether a rural hospital will have to close".

The affordable care act and medicade are programs to pay hospital bills for people. Hospital income comes from someone paying hospital bills sent to people who get medical care. Since those programs pay the bills for the people who get treatment, the hospital gets its income.

I do have ADHD. The idea that people are out there just raw-dogging the internet with no ad-blockers makes me deeply uncomfortable.
One other factor triggering closures in the article: private equity companies have been on a buying spree for hospitals. The strategy is to buy the hospital, sell the land to a real estate co, and have the hospital pay exorbitant rates to lease the land. After they’ve extracted maximal value, the hospitals that can’t afford the lease are forced to close.

Hospital execs get paid large bonuses for agreeing to deals like this.
You need to do more than just claim 'government caused this', when the hospitals are private and the governments are the ones with the least regulation, while the states with 'more government' are going quantitatively better on all margins. If 'more government' was such the bane as you claim it is, why are the places with 'more government' (that isn't fixated on only enforcing christian norms) doing so much better?
There are recordings going back at least to the early 1970s.
It's hardly extraordinary. This has been a major problem for decades, and it's only gotten worse. I'm sorry it disagrees with your politics, but illegal immigration is bankrupting hospitals. Here is a previous attempt to shore up some of the financial losses:

Business advice rather than legal but… your customers are working with a company, not a person: the number of people at your company is immaterial. Lots of well-funded startups send everyone on vacation at Christmas for 2 weeks, and in some parts of the world it’s very normal for people to take 4+ weeks off work in a row. Your focus should be on building a business that can operate while you’re on vacation, or when something unexpected happens like hospitalisation: putting vacations into a contract is the wrong solution (and people will think you’re bananas).

I feel like any company which has chatbots as a "core" part of their systems (like Siri is often advertised to be) would be looking very heavily into generative AI. It makes way too much sense and would clearly make Siri way more useful. Imagine if Siri was current ChatGPT with plugins for interacting with the OS -- this immediately solves basically all the complaints about Siri. Plus Apple has efficient local AI acceleration already, which could make it even better.

It feels so obvious it'd be weird if they weren't trying to make a better Siri with gen AI! I have a feeling we'll hear about it either at WWDC or the iPhone event in the fall.
