Tried googling for "ML model capacity" - only found informal handwaving. The closest to a formal definition is VC dimension: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapnik%E2%80%93Chervonenkis_di...

Is that what you mean when you say "capacity"? Does not seem very relevant in the context of our discussion. If it's not what you have in mind, I'd appreciate a link to the Wikipedia article on "ML model capacity" or whatever specific term experts use to represent the concept.
I'm surprised they kept the cheese grater case for the new Pro. It is one of my least favorite case designs of any high end mac. I'm really surprised they didn't go with something simpler and more like a tall, scaled up Mac Studio. It's strange that given it is such a big architecture change on the inside isn't mirrored with a physical change on the outside.

Mostly I hate the juxtaposition of the chrome legs/handles with the aluminum case. It's very mixed-material. The chrome reminds me of the early iPhones with the chrome bezels.

Meanwhile the Mac Studio design is clean and monolithic in comparison.

$7k starting price. High but compared to? Just glancing at the new HP Z6 G5, which may be a fair comparison, with a 16-core CPU, 8x16GB of memory (the lowest configuration that populates all 8 channels of that CPU), minimal storage, and a parts bin GPU that nobody wants, $6k. To get 8 thunderbolt ports like the mac pro you'd have to fill each and every one of its add-in card slots with a HP dual TB4 card.

Edit: The HP 340L1AA TBT4 card is only compatible with one expansion slot in that machine, so what I suggested is not even possible. Perhaps the Mac Pro is the only workstation you can get with 8 Thunderbolt4 ports.

The Job Guarantee proposal is much better [1]. At its essence is to guarantee a federally funded job to anyone that wants one with a living wage and full benefits. This would tighten the labor market, put a floor on it, and lift society from the ground up. Firms would then have to provide better jobs than the guarantee if they want labor.

I do not believe this would get any traction and would just lead to endless legal battles. Only lawyers and firearm stores benefit from this. Firearm stores because people scramble to stock up on everything to get grandfathered in.

I would much rather see our governments both state and federal provide

- more health services for people. Physical health first and then mental health to shore up any gaps as the two are very tightly related. This must include testing of the endocrine system and finding root causes of imbalances rather than throwing pills at the symptoms.

- higher taxes on unhealthy foods and other habits including dangerous prescription drugs especially those prescribed off-label as many SSRI's are off-label. Higher taxes on companies that make the unhealthy food components.

- significantly higher scrutiny on prescription drugs, especially anything that affects the brain and anything off-label. This should include more health programs to get people off these drugs via healthier lifestyle choices. Medical professionals get awarded tax rebates for every person they successfully remove from all the SSRI's.

- removal of financial incentives for medical professionals to prescribe any drugs. Conversely, tax rebates for medical professionals that observably and provably via lab results make patients healthier without using drugs.

- better security where firearms are not permitted thus preventing groups of soft targets. e.g. approach a mall, school, theater, etc... and security already know if you are armed

- better legal protection for people that lawfully conceal carry and better protection for those that defend others against unstable people whether that be a security guard or a random citizen.

- mandatory advanced training and psychological testing of those that conceal carry to include scenario based active-shooter training. Training must be renewed every five years and this becomes an endorsement on the state-ID or drivers license. This endorsement would replace all CCW's. Endorsement not required in states that are constitutional carry.
This is one of the problems with 'Corporations are people' and 'Money is free speech'.

Once a revenue source is generated, there are now 'persons (corporations)' with very loud 'speech (money for lobbying)' that start attempting to influence law.

JS has first class functions that you can pass around. The different colors debate was just a confusion - there where only one type of function, just that some functions took a function as an argument, althgough JS has no async functions. All async functions in JS comes from the runtime, like addEventListener for web DOM events. The "solution" to the non existing problem the committie came up with was to introduce 3 new types of function. So JS went from one type of function, to four types of functions.

Exactly. Government preferences should be given to people raising children, regardless of race, sexuality, or gender. Much of the social services network is about supporting children. If parents were given job preference over other identity categories it would be a) fair and b) protect children without creating social service costs.

It's a bit of a roundabout article, given that it's ostensibly talking about the Web version of Photoshop. Basically, Adobe already solved the problem (for decades, now) with a traditional non-web application by using the filesystem. And the new bit here is that Chrome offers a filesystem for web apps to use [1], so from the web app's point of view, it can still use the same essential solution that the native app would.

It doesn't really go into the guts of how PS actually manages all that data in much detail. Just "it goes to the filesystem in a smart way."

I've had columns filled with a formula and intentionally replaced one cell with a static value. You immediately get a warning on that cell that can be ignored/cleared but takes a handful of clicks to do so. Granted, there's no overall place to view the warnings (that I am aware of) so if you have 100k lines and one cell replaced you can't easily see it without inspecting everything. Is this no longer the case?

I strongly agree with almost everything I've read here, but I agree less-so that screen size doesn't matter.

We don't build computers to be used socially. I've seen... demos? Someone makes a table with touch input recognizing the entire space and installs an app that encourages collaborative investigation. This is a far cry from an app. If I were to go through a list of all tech developments in the last 10 years, I can't imagine more than 2 or 3 that did something to improve IO-level collaboration. We have LOTS of collaboration software, but none of it is on the human-interface level. You start with everyone having their own device.

Big screens are good IMO. The bigger the better, take the entire wall. One room should have 1 screen. It should be so big and unignorable that people stop taking the personal screen they carry in their pocket.

I know all the shows that my other family members watch. I don't love 'em, but I can have a conversation about a character (and we do!).

But there's no opportunity to say "hey, that's false".

Recessions/depressions seem like more of a potential indictment of capitalism than currency. Crypto would certainly not eliminate those in any scenario.

Here's how all these experiments should work: first participants volunteer, then everyone who volunteers will pay a special tax to pay benefits for the duration of the program.

Taking outside money and funneling into a closed system is guaranteed to produce distorted results, likely to be made worse because anyone running such an experiment is extremely likely to have a strong pre-existing pro-UBI bias that makes the result even more of a foregone conclusion.
> If UBI was universal, nobody would work

If you take a literal definition of "nobody", this is 100% wrong.

UBI should only give you a bare minimum. Cheap food. Cheap housing. Cheap clothes. The bare essentials, with very little discretionary income.

There are a lot of people where this is all they want. They have no ambitions. No life goals. These people would take UBI and not work.

But most people want more. They want better food. Better housing. More entertainment options. Funds to fuel a hobby. Money to travel. These people will still work. And they'll be happier about it, knowing that they don't have to work.

Minimum wage jobs are filled with people that can't get anything better and are just taking what they can get. You could swap them out with people that are there because they want to be.
I guess you're right. Not much.
Obviously not. It would be an instant scandal if they tried that.

> I'm not really sure I love the idea of making it "easier" for someone to leave the goggles on while interacting with me.

I think the big thing here is being able to go up and talk to someone real quick. If Im working and someone just wants to talk for 10 seconds, its much easier to just look over at them instead of slipping the whole headset off.
There are other issues like astigmatism for example.
One thing I don't understand: I only spend about 25-30 a year, despite making a devs salary. I think 45-50 ubi is the point where I'd just leave the workforce.
That's fair, but on the other hand I can imagine situations where it would be okay. Like maybe one person is working on something and another person is advising their interactions within the AR. It'd be nice to be able to interact a bit while still leaving the person mostly in the virtual world.

I'm thinking about an interaction kind of like the scene in Minority Report where one character is controlling the displays while the other is giving information and interacting with them, but it's not always a face-to-face interaction (https://youtu.be/7SFeCgoep1c). In that sort of situation, this kind of feature seems useful.

It showed someone participating in a group video call. But it only showed what the other people (who were not wearing headsets) look like. What does the Vision Pro user look like? Does it just use animoji or something?

EDIT: sounds like they render a realistic animated image of you, if I caught that correctly?
Yep. Just like how microscopes work where you don't need glasses and can just adjust the focus.
>>> But also, has ar-15 violence fine up significantly? I believe most deaths are still from pistols.

I don't think it means much either way. I expect an increase in the use of AR-15s in crime for the same reason I expect an increase in the use of white cars in bank robberies: there are more of them now. In Ireland we used to see news stories a lot about how "the Glock" was "the gangsters weapon on choice", "favored by criminals" etc. Why? That's what was available to criminals. Why? Because that's what gun owners preferred generally, so there were more of them around.

So yes we might see an increase in the use of ARs in crime but that doesn't mean that there's any meaningful link between the choice of guns and the crime. And while they have advantages over pistols in terms of firepower, that rarely matters in the kind of incidents that most people are worried about (like a shooter being locked in a classroom full of children for example).

If having a tethered battery reduces the weight of the headset, then I imagine it may be preferable that way. The weight of the Quest can make it uncomfortable to wear for long periods.
Its gorgeous for some. My own experiences in the Ozarks made it a non-starter for me. Its hard to calculate the exact impact it had on me, but I do wonder if I would've worked harder in grad school if I wasn't actively dreading actually getting the most prestigious research positions in my field (I was studying material science of optical and electronic materials at the time).

Granted, a lot of academia is repeating "just keep going, the end is in sight" until you die, but it is frustrating that it has to be that way.

>For every single researcher, there are 10 other graduates and staff who would be willing to do their job for a fraction of the cost.

@alex - we don't meter usage, environments, services, users, etc. for our paid plan so you have free reign over all of that. We have customers who pay a variety of price points depending on what they can afford/makes sense.

My understanding is that the profits are accumulated in a cash/low-risk investment reserve, which serves several purposes: hedging against the ~100B of debt they apparently hold, ensuring smooth operation in a downturn, and also enabling the acquisition of valuable companies or talent, such as P.A. Semi in 2008.

Let's put it this way: it would be a lot harder for Apple to do what it wants if it didn't have a stupendous amount of cash to fund it. That money pile means that they can shoulder the risks of their own plans, and the fact that they just pile on more and more profit every year just means these plans are largely successful.

I've always thought the killer feature to get people to start using AR/VR wasn't games or social experiences, but just a bigger screen for web browsing, Excel, dashboards and a bunch of other boring software.

Honestly, I'm not sure how Vision Pro product stacks up to what Apple says, but the marketing shows that Apple has clearly figured this out.

> I was initially a skeptic of widespread adoption of VR. I'm not sure that it's going to be the next smartphone. However, if it gets more comfortable and the price point goes down, I could see it being a replacement for traditional desktop monitors. Instead of paying $1k for a 27-inch display you get as many large screens as you want. That seems probable to me.

>

> I know that sounds awfully boring and mundane, but that probably comes way before other applications. After all the original iPhone was just an iPod you could make calls with.
