At the macro level, I'm not advocating for tips at all. I think it's a bad system.

But the reality is a lot of people rely on those jobs and have very little bargaining power as individuals. Most don't have the luxury of refusing a job, unlike the highly in demand people here. I don't think it's my place to deny those people income they depend on out of a principal. It'll hurt the little guy and make very little if any difference to the big companies.
Exactly this. It's taken 14 iterations to get the iPhone to where it is. Apple Watch has taken 8 or so. Apple has taking a long time iterating to get to where we are today on this platforms. Baby steps really. Each version introduced things we totally take for granted today. I remember just getting the Retina screen on the iPhone 4 was a massively big deal.

Just think what Vision will be after 10 iterations and a decade of time.
huh? got an example? I've been to quite a few topical FOSS oriented subs and i'm happy for the no self-promotion rules.

What you seem to be after is scientific evidence. The problem is that these substances by nature cannot be double-blind trialed because blinding is impossible. So as individuals we all need to make a decision whether we would like to try them or not for ourselves and the best evidence we can ever hope to get is subjective and anecdotal. If you want to deny yourself the potential of these life changing experiences without scientific evidence then that’s your choice. In my opinion it’s your great loss too.

The majority of gold usage is in investment/central bank reserve. Technology applications are a fraction of the usage. Jewelry is a major usage, however part of the reason for its use in jewelry is a hybrid combination of its store of value properties (ex. in Indian culture afaik, gold jewelry plays a large part in passing down wealth, families gift gold jewelry at weddings etc.).

So you consume bitcoin the same way a central bank consumes gold: by sitting on it, selling it when you need to, or buying more in times of expected turmoil.

Bitcoin is far younger than gold (12 years vs thousands), so its obviously more volatile.

I’d like to point out that restaurants can customize the default pct amounts to tip, and it’s a hassle in the moment to click “custom” then type in either a dollar amount, or your own percentage, whichever the POS system is designed to show. (Lately some places set the options to 20% as the minimum, as the article says) You don’t know what you’re going to get. The server can tell if you’ve tapped “custom” because it’s 3 or 4 extra button presses, whereas the default amount is one tap.

Someone holds an opinion that this is the case, it has not been resolved as a matter of law yet. It could be, in my opinion, a commodity.

Time management. I don't know how anyone can build a system for juggling:

- Continual questions/mentoring/working sessions with Junior Devs

- Troubleshooting requests from other teams who never catch that the problem is always on their end

- Four status update meetings a day

- My own deliverables
The underlying crazy scenario is that they say you have to evaluate all of the above relative to the possibility of losing a glorious future where we colonize the galaxy with self-replicating machines and put Dyson spheres around all of the stars, and can then simulate millions of copies of all the people who had the foresight to be cryonically frozen or something…

And practically those folks are dismissive of climate change relative to the others and are generally not interested in technology relevant to their “long term” vision such as space industrialization, rather they spam us will trolley problems in an attempt to erase our moral sensibilities.

Overall there is a religious orientation to the problem and a complete indifference to the complex social and technical problems of, for instance, switching to a carbon neutral energy system and otherwise managing risks.
If you pay with cash you never get a tip prompt.
It's almost as if people don't actually want a multiple dollar transaction fee that can take an hour (or more) to process.

That may be acceptable when you use bitcoin (or more likely Monero) to buy whatever your heart desires, but is absolutely not usable for regular purchases.
I watched Jensen’s announcement for this.

He calls it the worlds largest GPU. It’s just one, giant compute unit.

Unlike super computers, which are highly distributed, Nvidia says this is 140 TERABYTES of UNIFIED MEMORY.

My mind still gets blown just thinking about it. My poor desktop GPU has 4 gigabytes of memory. Heck, it only has 2 terabytes of storage!
The sale is taxable obviously and of course. The same is true for gold and crypto.

But your relatives didn't get a tax bill for 25% of the value of the oil the moment it was prospected, did they? Their land value went up but they weren’t taxed on the value increase either (that happens when the land is sold).
Yet, there's nothing in longtermism which tells us to donate to fight Malaria now, not really. Even though effective altruists might, a longtermist could argue we stop all malaria aid and donate it to SpaceX instead. Or enslave the poorest 1 billion people to work in Bezos asteroid mines. Or maybe we should execute the 10% most obese people.

These are all perfectly defensible positions in longtermism, and if one of these obviously morally dubious positions turn out to benefit 'our potential' the most it would even be immoral not to pursue them.
I was going to talk about the power consumption ranging from 450W to 1000W (expensive), but I guess with such price level it will not mind at all.
I'll tip for an espresso beverage, because there's skill involved in making a nice cappuccino - at a minimum you need to be sure to foam the milk without boiling it.

There was a place (in Berkeley of course) where I was pretty sure that if the barista didn't like your tip, they'd boil the milk for you.
Crypto people constantly point to this video as some kind of evidence that the SEC is clueless. Maybe it just doesn't make sense for them to give clear answers in that kind of hearings,or answers related to specific crypto token. Just normal for government officials to cover their own asses primarily and giving specific guidance related to a specific issue at a hearing doesn't just serve them well.

Thats still enormously less than the dot pitch of a good 4/5/6k monitor in meatspace/real life today - remember, a virtual monitor only ever uses a subset of the total pixels in a VR headset, which is why the pixel count has to be sky high to compete with real life.

If people would just finally realize that this especially applies to code!

It's imho a complete joke that we're still using plain text for source code, and convert it back and forth between it's actual structure (an AST) and some limited and quirky textual representation.

The text representation of code should be just that: A visual representation. Not "the real thing".

Having proper rich data structures for code instead of plain text would make so much more possible given some proper editors…
No, you said, "Is there any evidence that drug patents can actually enter the public domain productively at their end of their expiration period?"

How is it "disingenuous" to quote that? I'm not "accusing you of generalizing" -- you did it.

I don't care to engage with you about insulin or indeed drug patents in general. Just say what you actually mean.
That's one of those misguided deep sounding statements that are based in a fundamental lack of knowledge. What you, or this guy at the CS department, said is completely bullshit, evidenced by simple statistics of memory safety in languages. There is a reason many big companies are adopting Rust, and it's not just because "they feel like it" or they lack coders that "can program in C". E.g. take a look at: https://security.googleblog.com/2022/12/memory-safe-language...
Ok, the most important question, which one of the three invested in Sam Bankman-Fried?
This is very useful for large-format technical printouts like blueprints, for a drafting table, or for a table where various users can interact with multiple documents.

The old Microsoft Surface Coffee Table project was something like that but the whole screen was 1024x768.

It's not an "esoteric" use case. Every building in the world goes up based on large-format construction drawings. For a large building that's maybe 75 sheets printed at a cost of $3 a sheet.

So you have have a $225 set of prints for every project your company is working on and you have to roll all those prints up and store them in between uses. It doesn't take a lot of those prints before you've justified a very expensive display.

Showing these files on a digital monitor is like looking at an elephant through a magnifying glass and until now no digital standard has allowed showing these files at full size and resolution simultaneously. You must zoom to read the text.

This is just monitors catching up to the resolution that large-format printing has had since the 60s. It's also useful for restaurant menus, movie posters, mall map kiosks, transit maps, airline status displays, bulletin boards... anything you want to display to the public where they can't pan and zoom the way you would on a personal device.

There are plenty of uses for a 16k video standard. It just probably isn't going to be your home television.
Stoicism is the practice of vigilance in order to partition the world into things over which you have control vs no control. The goal is to shift your engagement with the world to only account for, but not fret over, the latter, while you spend your attention and time on the former.
Feel like those responding with a date are the ones responsible for tipping culture getting out of control.

At least a waiter interacts with you multiple times in some way. There's a variable level to that interaction. Same with your barber (which is even more 'personal').

Takeout, you either got my order right or you didn't. Delivery, I got my order or I didn't. Starbucks? I'm not even sure what the logic is there.

That's heartening to hear... but I'm still afraid of it happening to me.
Indeed, and I already use Transparency Mode on my AirPods Pro when I need to hear something better or eavesdrop on a conversation.

They only boost clarity maybe 5-10% but that's quite a boost.
Then they should demand higher wages.
And if that's too high a cost for the restaurant - they should raise their prices or close their business.
Tipping does not make sense, and makes even less sense for takeout.
This is a weird fear. I worked in restaurants in college and a terrible cafe in grad school in a wealthy/old money-ish neighborhood. The cafe had terrible tips despite there being made to order food and tons of regular customers. We just made fun of stingy customers behind their backs. No one I've ever known in food service of the bar industry HAS EVER tampered with or spit in a drink/food. First and foremost, you'd be fired on the spot if anyone saw it. Also, food service people, and this may surprise you, also eat in restaurants.
I don't know if Chrome has a feature like that, but if it does it doesn't seem to have been used for the libjxl integration.

Lots of things are possible in principle; it's also possible to write rs-libjxl which would significantly reduce the problem. But there's a difference between "what's possible" and "what the reality is today", and in the context of what the situation is today it seems to me the concerns are valid.

> This was not common until relatively recently.

Well, it was common when I was a housekeeper back in the mid-late '80s. The customary tip was $1 per day the room got cleaned. About 3/4 of guests would tip that. Ironically, the ones who didn't tip were almost always the ones who left the room trashed, which was completely backward. Leaving a room in good shape was considered as good as a tip by my fellow housekeepers.
Funny enough i've been getting multiple daily notifications of people following me on reddit.. Never used that feature.. nor does anyone I know use it. All the names are clearly generated too. Is it a 3rd party? Is it Reddit trying to create user metrics as a social platform? It's all suspect at this point.
Carrying a lot of plates that are open is a bit of a skill as opposed to boxes; most people would struggle without a tray.

There’s also bussing the table and cleaning up afterwards.
I'm just waiting for an alternative to reddit to pop. It'll go the way digg did then. I was hopping that Facebook would go this way, but groups on Facebook haven't really evolved and aren't really ergonomics for discussions like Reddit is. It's really a shame because they have a massive userbase but haven't managed to spin off new successful apps from that besides Marketplace...
I'd say tip is also needed for restaurant owners, building owner where restaurant is located, meat suppliers, greens supplier, cardboard box suppliers drivers of delivery trucks and so on. When it comes to restaurant everyone associated works for free.

Yep I actually remember standing on the sidewalk on my lunch break outside of a cafe, and I pulled up the Reddit website.

It sounds so incredibly unrelatable in 2023, but you have to put yourself in that time. Web browsing was just something you did at work, or at home. Period. Visiting that website while on the sidewalk was really one of the major game-changers in my life.

Wait staff when there's table service are usually exempt from minimum wage. So they're paid a pitence, and tipping is how they get a reasonable wage.

Counter help at starbucks or whatnot are paid normal wages, and don't need tips to make more than $2.50/hr
There is one place where Learned Helplessness is super prevalent due to loss of control: The behavioral treatment of autism in children.

Applied Behavioral Analysis uses operant conditioning theory and techniques used to coerce behavior and compliance in autistic children. It turns out though, that this “therapy” results in Learned Helplessness and PTSD/cPTSD in 46% of autistic people who later seek further therapy for trauma resulting from the practice.

Autistic people see ABA as torture and abuse. Help me end it.

Unless they are entirely delusional (which is possible), they have to had priced it with a specific few customers in mind. If they think they can get a cut of ChatGPT money going forward, I think they would be entirely willing to sacrifice all 3rd party apps and a decent chunk of their mobile users.
Apple positioning this for “Work” addresses that. It also conveniently diminishes concerns about things like the battery (if you’re at a desk, plugging in is no problem) and controls (if the gestures bother you, use a keyboard and trackpad).

The work scenario could just mean using it for meetings and collaboration, or it could just mean working with large virtual screens. In any case, if you’re working from your bedroom or from your drab office, a virtual environment could be, I dunno, refreshing?

What if we could /all/ work in a beautiful space with lots of natural material surfaces and huge windows with views of beautiful forests? Sure, it’s all fake, but maybe fake nature is better than real offices?

“Work” also gives you reason to pick it up every day, unlike my neglected Oculus and Vive. If it’s useful for work and easy to slap on, I might bother to keep it charged and handy on my desk.

And then it won’t really matter what I’m wearing when I get on a Teams call…
"He cleared the subreddits with a whiff of grapeshot."
See, here's where the undefined nature of things comes in. "Comparably spec'd" needs to be conditioned on what task you're aiming for.

A "pure gold hammer" is a terrible idea and would also be terribly expensive. But asking for a "comparably spec'd" hammer presumes the absurd premise that the material of the hammer must be kept consistent regardless of its intended use just for the purpose of being comparable.

To preface, I totally understand the value proposition of Apple devices for some use cases, but it is important to recognize that they are aiming for certain workloads.

As examples:

I have one friend that runs virtualization workloads that require a lot of memory, a lot of storage, a lot of cores, but they don't really care about memory bandwidth, "having a display", or even the noise of the device. An older server with 192G of RAM, 24 cores and >8TB of storage can easily be had and upgraded within $1k, whereas a "comparable" Mac Pro costs upwards of $10k! (Of course nobody would use a Mac Pro for this workload, so the comparison is moot)

I also have friends that are digital artists. They care about having a high brightness and color accuracy display but otherwise don't do anything that taxes the computer. They also appreciate having high quality speakers and long battery life. Some of them run M1 Macbook Airs at the lowest 8G memory configuration for ~$800 (discounted new from other retailers) + a digitizer for ~$100, while the closest comparable non-Apple laptops are all premium devices upwards of $1.5k and even then they are still worse in the battery department!

As for myself, I do light dev work, virtualization, gaming, but also travel a lot and present at conferences. I use a GPD Win Max 2 for a little over $1k (early Indiegogo pricing). The closest Apple offering would be a 14" MBP, and configured as needed (32GB/2T) would be about $3800 and still be short a 4G modem and a couple of extra devices like a digitizer, game controller, and dongle for USB-A. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Can't win 'em all.
Agreed and thank you. The Transphobe badge is the easiest one to earn at the moment, and I've earned it multiple times in Star Trek subs, even though I have no problem with the existence of trans people in theory, in sci fi stories, or in my daily life.

For instance, I recently earned the badge by saying the Dax character on DS9 isn't "a trans person"... she's an alien with a symbiote, that has lived 7 lives and doesn't much care which gender of body it inhabits per se, or whom its host is going around kissing.

I'm providing plenty of content here in my comments based on which to either denounce me as an asshole or to agree that I'm not one.
My rule there is that there will be no tipping until after a service is performed. It makes no sense to provide a range of tipping options for the predicted service that may be provided.

I suspect a notable overlap between the people here characterizing unions as such that are also temporarily embarrassed unicorns.
Doesn't this potentially open them to serious securities fraud? They're making financial statements about the revenue they receive per user. By flooding with fake users, their trying to make their top-line numbers seem high while pretending like the revenue / user is staying constant. It's one thing if it's the initial seed to a two-sided marketplace, but if this gambit doesn't pan out that seems like a problem. The SEC failing to enforce securities fraud like this is a separate matter.
There are some really cool apps, but likely not ones that you and I would use on a daily basis. Most of it is like seeing furniture in your living room in AR, or products on amazon, etc. There's also some cool ones for scanning objects, generating blueprints of a house, and more. Even if the apps themselves aren't that useful right now, they've been working on the software & hardware to do this work for years and iterating on it. So when they finally launch Vision Pro they're not starting from scratch and a lot of the code is tested in the real world.
I agree that “computational advantage” is probably too strong a conclusion. However, it is intriguing to think about how this general effect (increasing the time span over which data are integrated) could extend to more abstract reasoning. Subjectively it certainly feels like when on these substances I am aware of more at once but perhaps with the loss of some focus.
