I’m just trying to understand the context. I hope it is as you say and it would be my baseline assumption that it is as well. But it’s not unquestionably obvious given history and what relatively little context is present in this thread. The SEC used to think all crypto is a security to the point where honest miners are instructed to declare blockchain rewards as income (I have, and TurboTax even asks you if you acquired crypto in the last year with no nuance as to how you acquired it or which one you acquired). It may be obvious to you and me but my question was more about how far the SEC’s understanding has evolved.
Throughout all this, I'm struck by the epic credibility of Apple. Any other company would have seen a much larger share price slump after making an announcement like this, but Apple managed to pull it off with only a slight dip. This is truly a super power and may very well be enough for them to achieve breakaway network effects.
Wood is useless for sterile applications because it harbors bacteria and such. Think dentist, doctor, chemistry labs, industrial processes, food manufacturing and packaging, chemical storage, etc etc. All Plastic.
I'm trying to figure out what the basis for this decision is, interested in your thoughts on this...

It's not about paying fair wages because as others have noted, takeout is being handled by the same people on the same wages. It can't be about taking the order, because again, takeout. Is it about bringing the food to the table? Because boxing up takeout orders or bringing them out of the kitchen feels pretty much the same to me. Is it about serving drinks? Well those are also in takeout/fast food/etc. Is it about asking how your meal is going? That doesn't have a direct equivalent, but is it worth tens of dollars to be asked how your meal is and reply "it's great thanks".

I'm only familiar with US tipping culture from the internet, the UK doesn't have the same, or I'm oblivious to it and don't tip. I've always found the tipping reasons a bit arbitrary though. I understand using table service as a condition in order to reduce the situations in which you're tipping, but it feels like the tipping needs to be connected to an explicit service, and yet from the above I feel like it isn't, so it's still arbitrary.
I have an AMD Linux laptop I’ve been using for work.

It’s great. The battery life is great, it’s quite fast with a lot of cores, when I need to do my genetics runs (plugged in). Build quality isn’t bad, plus affordable and lots of ports. After my initial transition away, not missing my 2015 Mac book pro.

Linux is the way to go. I don’t blame people with apple hardware for wanting it. I just don’t feel the x86 side is as bad as the everyone makes it out to be. We’ve come along way since my first Linux laptop and it’s not so great battery life.

I would assume he’s advertising his own consulting availability as “an ex apple employee” by the verbiage he’s using.
Apple could also market their fast efficient chip to datacentres and servers if they were so inclined. They choose not to compete in certain areas, focusing on consumer products. I don't know why but it's their choice.

So it would be better for, say, another 5 cops to be killed trying to breach his hideout, rather than blowing him up with a robot - after he has already killed 5 cops and injured many more?

I'll admit I can't really understand that logic.
This is my read as well. I don't really understand the argument that Reddit wants to kill 3rd party apps, so makes an unaffordable API. If they want to kill 3rd party apps... why wouldn't they just kill them directly? Why leave any ability to purchase API access unless they have a customer in mind that can afford to buy it at that price?
>Or is that not how fabrication capacity works?

The basic of Supply Chain and Supply and Demand, as you should have all witness during COVID for toilet rolls are the same.

Fab capacity is not that different to any other manufacturing. You just need to book those capacity way ahead of time. ( 6 - 9 months ) And that is also why I said 99% of news, or rumours about TSMC Capacity are pure BS.

So to answer your question. Yes, Nvidia will likely go for the higher margin products. One of the reason why you see Nvidia working with Samsung and Intel.
We tried the whole plugin thing with NPAPI and ActiveX, and it was a never-ending source of security holes.

This is one of those things that sound nice, but there's a lot of practical caveats, and in reality it would all be pretty complex. Who would provide the "trusted certs"? How do you decide between a "good and safe plugin" and "not so good and unsafe plugin"? How do you update these decoders? etc.

> It's 'customary' to tip for takeout? since when?

The customary thing now is to ask for a tip at every possible location, but preferably when you’re face to face to maximize the guilt factor. Digital payment devices in particular prey on peoples’ fear of social interaction.

Just don’t participate, or if you’re the kind of person who likes to call attention to stupidity in daily life, make a point of calling it out to the cashier, explain that you can’t figure out how to get past the screen, and ask them for help with putting a zero amount. Doing it loudly enough that the rest of the customers hear you is a must.
another way to look at it is, pretend tipping does not exist. if the item cost 20-30 percent more, would you still buy it?
This is basically the “if you have nothing to hide, what’s the problem if the police can read all your correspondence?” argument applied to an organization.
Under the Howey test, the rules are clear.

"The test is whether the scheme involves an investment of money in a common enterprise with profits to come solely from the efforts of others. If that test be satisfied, it is immaterial whether the enterprise is speculative or non-speculative or whether there is a sale of property with or without intrinsic value."

I think it is plausible that all pure staking initiatives will go. I don’t think you have much of an argument here but I could be wrong. It will definitely be an interesting case to watch.
Thanks!

> Did you hit token limits?

While i used TikToken to limit the message history (and keep below the token limit), generally I found that I didn't get better completions by putting a lot of data into the context. Usually the completions got more confusing. I put a limited amount of info into the context and have generally stayed below the token limit.

> Are you storing message/ chat histories between sessions

Right now, yes. It's pretty important to store everything (each request / response) to debug issues with prompt, context, and the agent call loop.

My biggest issue with Vision Pro is the extension of the App Store model to a new platform, where we could start from scratch and strike a new deal on the percentages.
Unfortunately Apple has the resources to seed the most prominent developers with any help they need and once the ball get’s rolling there’s no going back.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
Exactly. People can argue all day about how silly normalized middle-class tipping is (very silly, IMO), but the thing is that clicking a "20%" button isn't even tipping. The implementation of the buttons on the bottom of the screen is offensively out-of-touch with the actual tradition of tipping, making it even more transparent a cash-grab.

In addition to the fact that the POS button is often clicked before the service takes place and in the presence of the server, another key distinction of tipping is that it's off the books. It's a gift from me and a specific person providing service. If I pay through some POS machine it's a gift mediated through Visa and the IRS and the company payroll.
So the only option has 1/10th the hardware of an older iphone with shittier camera than that.. for me that’s not a good deal. Framework laptops are insanely expensive for again, worse hardware. Isn’t the point of linux to run on anything?

Also, every device needs battery replacements, like this is just the physics/chemistry of batteries and it has an absolutely doable price for any apple device.

What breaks easily on an iphone? They are quite sturdy phones with metal casing. They wouldn’t get sold after 5-7 years of active use if they weren’t sturdy. And glass will still be breaking when it meets with big enough force - I again don’t see your point.

> re hacker friendliness

The RAM has different architecture on the M series, so it can’t be replaced even theoretically. Also, every moving part is one more point of potential breaking, plus it takes up space. This is not a rasppi, different design goals/constraints.

You can put in a worse screen but one will be able to see that in the settings so they can’t be scammed.
I understand your logic, however while some officers try their best to know the law, and some are very familiar with the law, they are most definitely not accountable to knowing the law and they are most definitely not responsible for educating you on it. Further, they have authority to lie to you about the law. (At least in US.)
There was an NYT article about how restaurants are actually dropping QR code menus due to customers disliking them and spending less with QR menus.

I have no good answers.

I'd like a world with as much freedom and as few restrictions as possible; yet I also know that it's increasingly easy for someone working alone to cause enormous damage and loss of life.

I want a legal system simple enough that at least half the population know all their rights and responsibilities without any danger of unwittingly violating the law, because "ignorance of the law must not be a legitimate excuse" but it clearly is an excuse in a world where lawyers laugh in your face if you ask them if anyone knows all the laws.

I want punishments that have no vengeance, punishments which only serve to be deterrence for the sane, and where the insane are humanely kept out of harm's way; for these to be effective, I suspect (but don't know for sure) that the best way is to have near 100% accurate fines almost immediately upon detection, which in turn have to be small — framing example: you drop litter, 30 seconds later a notification of a fine for $1.00 appears on your phone, which you can also make go away by picking up what you dropped.

I don't know how to prevent that from becoming a totalitarian nightmare thanks to the apparent popularity of ever-escalating punishments for all offences.

I don't know how to watch the watchers. "State secrets" may be an excuse for the powerful to hide behind, but it's also, not only.

I don't know how to square that with the embarrassment that people have over so many aspects of themselves, that makes the right to privacy an absolute necessity.

And this kind of privacy issue is "easy mode" compared to what happens if we get mind uploads.
Indeed, so you have a worse experience, I still think that they could have the avatars for other devices so that folks can use them if they have their camera off it would be nice.

Whereas with an iPad I can use it as a second display with my Mac anyway and put the chat on it. It might be better, but it doesn't sound to me to be quite the slam dunk that it sounds like to you.

I am happy to be proved wrong though so I'll be waiting for reviews of how it actually works with groups
One significant difference between this new point-of-sale prompt for a tip, compared to previous customs is that this is now asking for the tip before you receive the product or service on offer. This means that you do not yet know how your service will be, but you are being asked to tip. Also, you now worry that if you do not tip, you risk a negative response - like slower service, or worse.

When we tipped for table service at a restaurant, or a haircut, cab ride, etc, we already had received the service and could tip based on our level of appreciation, without fear of retaliation.

If he was saying "it depends" he had a lot of words to say that. His sentences were like my talking to the kids when I ask "did you do your homework?" It was painful.

And note that some things can be both a security while wrapped around a commodity. Just look at brokered CDs. Such that, even if you agreed that ETH is a commodity, you can still have financial instruments on ETH that are securities.
That's not how for example newspapers work. They will publish opinion pieces from people and with opinions that they themselves strongly disagree with, because they see it as their duty to promote freedom of speech and a healthy public debate.

Or parliament debates, where representatives for smaller parties get to have their say on equal terms as the big dogs.

Some countries even force radio and TV stations to air a certain amount of time to each candidate for their propaganda before an election (which can be hundreds of people).
The fact that they've shipped two devices says otherwise? What are you trying to prove by being contrarian? They've shipped products that people are using.

It means that Apple isn't radically changing the internals of the SOC every year.

>Apple’s first iPhones ran on Samsung SoCs, and even as Apple famously announced that they were switching to their own designs, the underlying reality is that there was a slower transition away from Samsung over multiple chip generations. “Apple Silicon” chips, like any other SoC, contain IP cores licensed from many other companies; for example, the USB controller in the M1 is by Synopsys, and the same exact hardware is also in chips by Rockchip, TI, and NXP. Even as Apple switched their manufacturing from Samsung to TSMC, some Samsung-isms stayed in their chips… and the UART design remains to this day.

>I don't even understand why they bought Alien Blue;

I'm pretty sure they bought the audience. Reddit did not have an app before this, and Alien Blue was by far the most popular one. It was subsequently abandoned and that's how Apollo was born. Even Apollo doesn't have some of the features that Alien Blue had.
Are you really comparing the rate of progress from hundreds of years ago to the 21st century?

For the entirety of the life of the cryptocurrency space we've had:

- The internet

- Smartphones

- Social media

- On, and on, and on...

Needless to say adoption rates for EVERYTHING (including finance) have accelerated by many orders of magnitude. I was around for the (brief) five year period on the web from 1993-1998 when people thought you were out of your mind doing any financial transactions on the internet. By 1998 grandmothers were listing knick-knacks on eBay.

If you want a more direct (recent and somewhat relevant) comparison from the world of finance look at credit cards. American Express launched the first "charge card" in 1958. The magnetic strip wasn't patented until 1960. But by 1970 51% of US families had at least one[0].

Credit card adoption rates within their first 12 years were also one-two orders of magnitude greater than crypto (after 14 years). In the 1960s!

People, broadly, take to things pretty quickly and easily as long as they actually have value, utility, and offer some improvement in their lives.

I really wish the crypto community could stop arguing, stop pumping, stop making excuses, study the (ample) data, and look inward to figure out why almost no one sees any value or utility in it. The first step to addressing an issue is acknowledging you have one.

Which is still a bit over half (adjusted for inflation) of what minimum wage was when I was in high school, and even then minimum wage was widely considered too low. But that's an entirely different discussion.
On the flip side, if they wanted to kill the popular apps, why wouldn't they just block them directly instead of doing so indirectly through crazy API pricing?

> Novel applications are patentable.

If they're non-obvious. Remember, the challenge was: show me the strongest, most defensible examples of software patents you can. GP did a great job coming up with 3 very strong examples of patents (taking his word that the SVM patent he meant to show is much stronger). And yet even in those top examples, there are (IMO) reasonable arguments that they still do not deserve protection. I'm not convinced either way, but there are arguments.

My point is that "novel applications" are most of what software engineers do, every day. I contend that there are 10,000+ ideas equally as novel as PageRank invented every day. Senior software engineers probably come up with one every few weeks. This strongly challenges the idea that these are "non-obvious".
They didn’t have the metallurgy to make a reliable steam engine. However I think they could’ve industrialized a lot of things using a bronze turbine or waterwheel and a ton of belt systems like old factories once did with line shafts.[1]

I would like to see the volunteer pool grow, but I suspect a lot of things in the Linux kernel are maintained by a small pool of volunteers--it's not like all volunteers (or paid developers) work across the whole kernel, after all.

Also, which are the virtuous hardware companies and what's stopping them from making compelling products? And since I'm already a Mac user, I've already supported this evil company, so what does it matter if I change out the operating system?
The app icon has been shown in WWDC presentations before but I think this was the first time it was mentioned by name. They do record these before (weeks?) the event but they could have cut it out if they did not want it there.

"Where a user looks stays private while navigating Apple Vision Pro, and eye tracking information is not shared with Apple, third-party apps, or websites.

I’ve kept in touch with some childhood friends digitally. And I’ve worked while in coffee shops and offices.

I have much more authentic interactions with my friends over Discord than I do with strangers or pseudo-strangers in public. In public then interaction is intentionally inauthentic (which feels emotionally isolating to me, at least); the person wants to be nice to me to get a better tip, I want to be nice to my boss to get a better review. The online interactions with my friends are somewhat hampered by our inability to read body language over a mostly audio medium. The former will require deep societal changes to make into honest interactions. The latter can be fixed by Apple & co using cameras and gyroscopes, which they are already pretty good at. I’m much more optimistic about the latter.

The "decades of caselaw" specifically includes instruments that "failed" the test but were still judged to be non-securities. So, it makes sense to push for a legislative/regulatory judgement.
My viewing experience has improved so much since committing to subtitles that I just assume people who are "against it" are missing a decent chunk of the dialog.

I went to a ROMCOM in theaters and still couldn't make out the lines -- it's the mumbling and sound mixing. Without subtitles on an action movie...how do you hear anything the actors say?
Same - I hate how the dataloader documentation is so centered around the idea that your dataloader just reaches out directly into your Ecto layer. I always ended up building my own KV implementation of dataloader.

I disagree, I consider the iPhone to be a gaming device. By many metrics it might even be the most popular gaming device ever. It's not only a gaming device, but it can be more than one thing. That said, I suspect that the price tag on this generation of the Vision is probably gonna shut out most casual users; maybe we will see marquee, platform-selling games on it in later generations but I have a hard time imagining many people buying it for that until they become more affordable. I suspect that this will be a hard sell to the crowd that has $3K to spend on a gaming device (which granted, lots of people who play PC games spend that much), so it may be a chicken-and-egg problem.

That said, having used Hololens 2 and Magic Leap I saw the potential for AR to be something really cool. I'm certainly rooting for Apple to finally deliver something polished and compelling, both for professional and consumer users.
