Trouble with auditors is that they're paid for by the company. You try hard not to bite the hand that feeds you.
CMBS (commercial mortgage-backed securities) are usually structured by banks, but held by:

- Insurance Companies

- Pension Funds

- Mutual Funds

- Hedge Funds

- Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)

- Sovereign Wealth Funds

As the servicer, Wells Fargo will be figuring out how to repossess or whatever.

CMBS are usually (always?) non-recourse, i.e. they're secured only on the property. So if the property is worth less than the amount of the loan, the owner is not on the hook for the shortfall.
I mean, I'd love to just for the space savings alone. Multiple monitors take up quite a bit of space. If I could repurpose the space for other things without losing functionality that'd be great.

I don't think this is there yet. I'd need to see performance data, and I'd really prefer SteamVR integration (though I could probably reduce a PC+headset to a pretty small if necessary). But it's a step in that direction, and even if it's not necessarily Apple that gets there I think we will see that kind of device in the future.
it was kinda in the name
At the risk of sounding snarky... is this a joke? It's advertising. Advertising is pretty much always filled with over-the-top language. If they could legally say that this device might cure cancer and make you rich, they would!

My biggest problem after blogging regularly for 15 years is that I continue to have more ideas and interesting things to write about than I have time to write.

And the more I write the more ideas I get.

edit: This has especially been a problem for the past year because I’m also under a book contract. Most days writing the book takes priority, but then my mind is exploding with blog ideas that don’t fit in book. But I don’t have energy to do both.
So maybe after few years of recycling and reusing the same generated data as in input for the new shiny AI, we can come to the conclusion that AI isn’t really smart and you still need humans, and the new generation after will realize that and will have the intrinsic motive to not use the AI to answer in the new shiny StackOverflow..
You say this

>A corporate income tax would not generate meaningful revenue for most countries.

Then you say this

> And such that it does, it only generates revenue by cannibalizing other taxes (income, sales, capital gains, etc) at the cost of a deadweight loss of investments.

If it's not meaningful revenue, how is it a meaningful loss of investments? This also seems to ignore if it's a minimum among a wide swath of nations, what investment loss would it incur?

Nopia – musical chord building hardware
> I don't how/why/where these myths have been perpetuated from that Apple Silicon Macs magically needs less RAM or magically Apple Silicon Macs are better at memory management.

It depends. For the Intel macbook pros, the GPUs had their own separate memory. For the intel macbook airs, the graphics could use up to 1.5GB of the system memory (so your 8GB MBA could have as little as 6.5GB of system memory)

The unified memory model in M1 means the graphics can hopefully eat up less RAM since data from the system memory can be read directly by the graphics chip (no need to copy from system memory into graphics-reserved memory)

Hey Steve! One more thing re: drawing attention: you're drawing the attention of people interested in the same topic, and often thinking along similar lines as you. And that's a fun community to connect with, even if you're not saying anything new or benefitting from your writing in other ways.
It always amuses me to see how left and right differ between nations.

US conservatives are protesting and restricting immigration when in New Zealand, the conservatives are wildly pro immigration. Their argument is that it drives house prices up and wages down when you've got more people flooding in. If you're a land and/or business owner, that's what you vote for. The left wants less immigration so workers and renters have more negotiating power.
The original iPhone cost so much people mocked it

Some did criticize the launch price, $499(8GB)/$599(8GB), even though it was right in line with the other smartphones of the day (e.g., Treo). But Apple discontinued the 4GB, and lowered the 8GB price by $200 to $399 just two months after launch. At that point it was not mocked, and that price really helped drive it into the mainstream. I'd say Vision needs that level of price slash to even be niche successful.
Yep. Have I conducted any kind of scientific survey? Nope. But do you really think there are more people torrenting music than Apple, Spotify, and Amazon subscribers combined?

That's all the validation I need. When John Carmack and Tim Sweeney said the PS5 was "so good" it was the same thing for me. You can geek out all you want on the specs but you're wasting your time. Let the experts weigh in and shut the f*ck up.

One More Screen for Your Face
The main issue could be the passthrough quality. In the marketing material it's touted as "magic", we'll need to wait a year to see how it pans out in practice (especially with mixed lighting, darker environments etc).

In particular, the speed and quality of the feedback loop between the camera capturing your surroundings and the rendering to your eyes could be enough to kill the experience.

If it's not up to the task, we're back to the full shutdown VR experience, and this device will have to compete with the other next-gen devices (especially up to 3500 bucks)

At this point it's still vaporware, but I'll be excited to read the first actual impressions of the device in real world settings.

A pop-psychology and pseudoscientific explanation of how dreaming MAY reveal brain disorders.
Usually it appears and I click it gets stuck waiting, it never appears on the other device to be accepted, or something like that.

Sometimes the other device never appears despite having proper settings configured. Usually I’m trying to move a large video file.
It is gibberish. The expression means:

(1 + (x * 2)) - (3 % x)

So the correct S-exp (let's use mod for modulo rather than %):

(+ 1
(* x 2)
(- (mod 3 x)))

It's a sum of three terms, which are 1, (* x 2) and something negated (- ...),
which is (mod 3 x): remainder of 3 modulo x.

The expression (% (- (+ (* x 2) 1) 3) x) corresponds to the parse

((x * 2 + 1) - 3) % x

I would simplify that before anything by folding the + 1 - 3:

(x * 2 - 2) % x

Thus:

(% (- (* 2 x) 2) x).

Also, in Lisps, numeric constants include the sign. This is different from C and similar languages where -2 is a unary expression which negates 2: two tokens.

So you never need this: (- (+ a b) 3). You'd convert that to (+ a b -3).

Trailing onstant terms in formulas written in Lisp need extra brackets around a - function call.

They understand a lot about Digg's history and they want to make sure that this time both the managers and the investors will reach the most profitable pay day possible. Either by selling the site or getting an IPO. That's the only target.

Personally for me, Reddit lost the human touch several years ago and with the cancelling of Secret Santa that was one of the most fun activities on the internet, I've stopped using the site almost completely.
See if you can find numbers for food irradiation. Depending on country o ly a small number of foods is permitted to get that treatment but they're usually the large volume ones like wheat or flour.
>if it's facing that they're not worth our money that gets us to break our habit of settling for them as time wasters, that's cool too.

Let's be honest: even if we agree it's a waste of time and it then becomes financially unviable; you just find another time waster. Tiktok, Instagram, Youtube, 4chan, etc. Heck, some would just go and watch porn. There's no end of sites (new and old) with oodles of user generated content to waste time on.

People aren't brainwashed and magically become productive when the brainwashing stops. Or you can interpret it less generously and say that they are so brainwashed that they will see other means if one of them stops.
Well then, I encourage you to rip out all the copper cables from your house and replace them with hydrogen safe alloy pipes. Put a hydrogen generator and compressor on the curb to feed the whole thing and replace each wall socket with a fuel cell to generate electricity to run your appliances.

I'm sure you'll save thousands.
> Additionally, why is it framed in a way that makes it seem like white people having more of an impact is a bad thing?

Is it really? This is definitely not the point of the article, which talk about the bias that people grow more conservative when that is at least partially explained by a survivor bias.
You decide to read this as "white people bad", when the article simply highlights some democratic bias that isn't talked about that often, and I think your reaction says more about your own obsidional way of thinking than the author's.

> And it doesn't even stop there - the article implies that more diversity (i.e less white people) is an ontological good. How does this stuff even get published?

Can you please for the love of god point to me where in this article it's said that more diversity is an ontological good? Are we reading a different article altogether?
Apple could announce a cure for cancer for which they are the only owners of the patent and for which every world health organization has committed to 40 years of purchases and their stock price would still go down. The best time to buy Apple stock is almost always right after a product announcement.
aye - the top line number seems indicative of something else at work. Perhaps the City budgeted the tools/services/equipment needs of these employees on a per employee basis? I could easily imagine a city employee in SF cleaning poop needs a not insubstantial amount of budget for waste disposal, cleaning equipment, hazard insurance etc.
I bet they absolutely will. If I could afford business/first, I'd absolutely buy something like this just to be able to watch content or work on a bigger screen and without the constant interruptions you get on in-flight entertainment.

Then in economy, not having to cram a laptop where it can get crushed by the seat in front, or craning your neck, etc - that'd be fantastic.
>As a mirrorless photographer who wants to publish photos on the web that look like they came out of a mirrorless camera I want JPEG XL.

As if people would have the screen to properly watch them? Perhaps a handful of high-end laptop owners... Except if those are the intended audience.

>image codecs are definitely a userspace thing and as a Windows or Linux user I never wait for my OS to support an image format, I just install the codec and code away.

That's how you get half the apps supporting them (if you're lucky) and others not, and generally a hell of a time...
I hope this actually turns out to be a win. The idea, in my mind, being that comfort is a priority & swapping batteries should be low effort.

I didn't see real info on the battery (no surprise), but I'm hoping it's like a 40Wh/10Ah pocketable little thing that isnt very noticeable.

It'll be interesting to see how the fate of the IBattery goes. Will it charge fast? I hope so. Will it be easy to pocket? Will price be reasonable enough for people to pack a few? Hope so.

Apple didn't talk about it but they shipped a presumably usb-c battery this WWDC. That's interesting for sure.
PS5 is pretty good
AFAICT, it's neither open source software, nor open data.
FaceTime on Apple Vision Pro makes it easy to connect and collaborate. It's just a shame that you can't see their face while wearing apple-vision.
In addition Apple puts in a lot of effort towards educating users. And before they release a technology in the wild they make sure they build a lot of useful demonstrations for it.

So a user learns about the feature because Apple educated them well, and then immediately gets to practice it and commit it to their long term memory because they have some immediate actual uses for it.

The Android approach is to release a technology, do a bunch of non functional demos and/or PoCs demonstrating how it can be used, and by the time actual useful implementations of the technology have been created users have forgotten the technology ever existed.
I have been patiently waiting for a feature for versions but now I don't think they are going to do it - ability to control the notification (alert/ringing) settings of both the SIMs separately.

I mean how dense or arrogant people at Apple have to be grok that by design if someone is using two different SIMs on a phone the use cases and needs might be different. Android has given this feature since a century by now. Or I think it's just their incompetence. Seeing how Apple is at software I won't put past them that they might have implemented this whole thing in such a way that just adding this feature might mean a major rewrite.

I mean for heaven's sake I might have a SIM that attracts a lot of spam call/etc and I might just want to keep it perpetually on silent or sometimes silent - yeah just silent not entirely disable it (but just that SIM, not my other important SIM).

By the way they have mentioned filtering on the Messages app based on SIM but even their they have not mentioned anything about notifications. Yup they mentioned it twice (at least to me it seems the same):

> Dual SIM message filtering
> Filter conversations in Messages by individual SIM.

and then right next to it:

>SIM-based filtering
>Messages now allows users with a dual SIM iPhone to filter messages based on their SIMs.

So maybe I will still not be using the dual SIM of the dual SIM phone.

How many years will it take it to get to Apple's head that these are two different SIMs!
Why would they mention their weakness? Have you heard of Siri lately? What do they have to offer in the AI space? Nothing. At best they can contribute to ML by hardware. With that said. ML != AI. ML is a means to AI. Google, Facebook can talk about AI. They have Bard, Llama to show off. I'm sure Apple is furiously working behind the scene trying to catch up and if they do, they will be sure to be noisy about it.
>but I just can't see myself in any of the situations they keep showing in VR/AR demos.

We said the same thing about fingering our way through endless content on a handheld slab of glass we now call smartphones. Innovation doesn't happen without some thinking outside of the box; most of them will be flops, but you'll never succeed if you never even try.

>Would I want to be in a group call with generated avatars of people rather than their actual faces?

Speaking as a gamer who reminisces the good old days of MMORPGs, I don't care for peoples' mugs. Speaking as a Japanese, the insistence on seeing peoples' mugs everywhere seems distinctly like a western thing that I can't really relate to. Besides, I see them all the time in person (or the rare video call) anyway.

>Would I rather work on this all day instead of a laptop?

If it turns out the work flows better there, you'll probably say yes. Won't know until we try, though.

>And the one thing I could maybe see this being useful for – gaming – was barely even mentioned in their keynote.

Apple has given negatives damns to games since time immemorial. iOS being a great mobile gaming platform is an outlier, not the norm.
I’m not mocking it, I’m pointing out that the price tag is high-enough that there might be a very slow uptick in adoption. Slow enough, that they don’t have enough people trying it and creating a newish market segment.

Maybe I’m wrong, we’ll see.
Windows 11 remembers my window positions. MacOS forgets my monitor configuration and also requires resetting my dock weekly for some reason to recognize my monitors.

I wonder how intentional Apple was about picking a name that can’t be turned into a schoolyard insult like “Glasshole”?
Yes, if you don't care for loading speed, battery life, and the fans blazing...
Personally, I can’t imagine using VR/AR headsets for development because of eventual eye strain and the sweatiness factor. But I’m willing to entertain that there are specific dev activities that could benefit from the enhanced immersion. Maybe a debugger that’s built from the ground up to support gestures and provide all of my breakpoints, watchpoints, stack frames, variables, etc in a visually intuitive AR display. That could be amazing, even a killer app, but would be ridiculously difficult I think to get right. How cool would it be to single step through a function with a snap of the fingers, wave downward to jump to the return, and then jump over to an adjacent thread with a glance to the left?
> I can’t wrap my head around it

Pun intended?
I distinctly remember getting the first iPhone and, having come from some random Nokia, just staring at the vibrant iPhone screen. It seemed impossible. Similar reaction with the first iPads as well.
6 years old and it still performs pretty well, I’m really sensitive to slow tech but I don’t have major complains with my iPhone X in 2023. This is the longest I’ve ever owned a phone definitely buying the 15.
You're right, I meant google.com

However, using their own .google TLD makes sense the closer I looked at this link after you brought my attention to it.

This appears to be a branded and hosted version of a third party learning platform that might be simpler to deliver a whitelabeled expereince.

The login experience (either to use your google credentials or create your own account) seems to be the confusing piece.

I would not be surprised if this is not a third party piece of software in which case the login screen makes sense.
Apple marketing uses weasel words all the time.
We do more manual labor than whites.
> I am sure that plenty of "real ones" own iphones.

I think they've either been trained to not care so deeply about their phone, or they're jailbroken.

Unfortunately it's really a shame. We need more choices.
Wow thanks, wasn't gonna buy one of these but I forgot about my Apple Card and now I'm tempted...
I don't think this is for 'us' yet - which is why its labelled Pro.

I think this is definitely going to be like the Watch - they can see the segment could do with a high quality platform, but they don't know what the killer app will be.

This is about getting it into the hands of the developers and people with strong ideas on how it can be used.

Also, Apple is rumoured to have been spending lots of energy and money on relationships with high quality game developers lately. I think this shows how seriously they are taking gaming, and area they are really not done well at.

Hopefully, they can make this an Apple Watch hardware-wise, and Apple TV content-wise.

I excited to see what the clever 3rd parties come up with!
Not the experience of many.

Done can mean I'm done my first pass but this is untested.

Done can mean I think I did what you asked but I never checked or verified my assumptions, nor were there enough input.
The demos were verryyy minimal.

I think one of the biggest risks is overselling the product, is creating expectations they can't live up to.

They probably could have gotten some AR iOS apps ported & being neat. But are those things people would really use day in day out? Do they set the right expectation, or are they wow & hype? Apple showed the intended mainline usecases: boring regular everyday stuff. Watching videos, browsing the web. And notably all experiences they & not app devs are in tight tight control over.

So, setting realistic expectations. And remaining in absolute control of the experience.
>You want to have a little hobby of moderating a community. Fair enough, pay for your hobby.

not sure I agree with this angle. If anything it's the opposite. just like how software dev is a job, so is community management. Reddit already has what amounts to free custodial labor, growing and fostering the site for them. They should be paying people to moderate that if they don't want their admins/internal Community Managers to bother with anything more than legally threatening content.
Agreed. I tried to report a porn video reply to an Oreo ad today. Twitter basically told me that it wasn’t against the rules to tweet adult content, so I should change my profile settings if I don’t want to see such content rather than report it. Okay, but for some reason it routed me through signing in again even though I was using the app, and I couldn’t be bothered with looking up my password in that moment.

I’m not a prude, but I go to Twitter for news, not porn. And I can’t imagine that the Oreo people are excited to have porn next to their ads! I won’t bother ever trying to report such a thing again even if they change the rules.

Twitter (or should I say Elon) is shooting itself/himself in the foot here.

I remember hardly any significant negative criticism of the iphone, watch, or airpods.

Someone below brought up "when the iphone first came out it was 2G, was only on AT&T" - well, yeah, and those were very valid initial shortcomings that Apple pretty quickly rectified.

With the Vision Pro, I see very few comments putting down the actual technological achievements here. Comments seem to be pretty universal in thinking this is the best VR device there is. But the valid question is people are still having a difficult time imagining real, extended use cases where it doesn't feel like a novelty.

Personally, I think it's great Apple took a swing at this. I wouldn't be willing to bet one way or the other on its success, I think there are lots of unknowns, but I don't really have anything but high praise for the folks that built this.
Damn, the Asahi team has done God's work
Glad the Studio is sticking around.

For many tasks the M1 Max base Mac Studio became an incredible value.

For other than 3d Rendering, the performance bump isn't that huge between M1 Max and M2 Max from the graphic on Apple's screen.
I think Apple is afraid of the AI people switching to CUDA and neglecting Apple's own accelerators. Whatever the case is, it's entirely petty - Nvidia still ships FreeBSD drivers and would probably gladly pick up Apple support again (at least for CUDA drivers).

If it was as simple as "Nvidia was an unreliable hardware partner", they wouldn't go out of their way to arbitrarily limit the drivers you can run.
The existence of a Secret Santa used to be a pretty good gauge for the health of a community.
