I don’t think all that many of it is unnecessarily complicated — we quite literally has no other ways of managing all that complexity. Mathematics is the same way — complexity is infinite, and abstraction is the only thing that can make it remotely tameable.
Maybe depends on the industry? Let's say there's a huge need for actually talented software devs -- then, among them, no jobs gone, 5x productivity.

There's a circumstantial argument for Russia partly wanting to take Ukraine in order to bolster the "ethnically Russian" population of the Russian Federation.

You sure can. You can ban pretty much anything, you know, if you get enough people to agree. Sure, there will be some outlaws, but who cares, ostracize them, fine them, exile them, send them to jail. Really, the lesson learnt from prohibition should be that the PR campaign wasn't good enough.

Life in Warsaw Pact countries was not bad.

Nobody lacked a roof or job or something to eat post ww2. Social stability was huge, criminality insanely low, lack of market economy didn't made people obsessed to work themselves to buy useless things one after the other.

The situation really got bad by the mid 70s when the gap with western neighbors started increasing and a wind of social and political change hit most of the countries in the pact.

But comments like yours make it sound as if people were sleeping in tents or trailers on Moscow's roads.

I see a lot of the pricey functionality they packed into this thing as about making it less onerous to put on. People need to actually decide to put it on to do stuff that they could do with their existing devices.

There's one unavoidable obstacle to people wanting to put on the headset: you're going to look really weird and isolated to other people in your environment. The tech to solve this problem doesn't exist, and maybe it's too high a barrier and this product category just isn't going to work. But Apple is betting that if they chip away at all the other reasons to not put on the headset, it'll cross the threshold where it wearing it becomes a regular routine for most people who buy one.

If they can bootstrap that into an ecosystem so that there's things you'll want to do with the device that you couldn't do with your other devices, at that point they can start selling a cheaper device that doesn't try to solve the onerousness problem through sheer luxury.
The Soviet Union was still a union of different countries.

Plenty of engineers, MDs, and other people with credentials from a 'hard' science don't know the scientific process. Just because two people you know also fall into that category doesn't mean we have some sort crisis in academia.

I'd assume features below the sea floor have a much bigger impact than surface features. Large iron deposits, volcanic activity, natural gas deposits, whatever the LLSVPs are, etc. But you could use ships to correlate gravity measurements with GPS locations and make an accurate map that way. You don't need to map the entire ocean, just enough locations to allow subs to occasionally recalibrate their position.

> a huge number of those android users would have an iPhone if they could afford it.

I don't think that's true. Samsung flagship phones cost the same as iphones (at least in the UK) and they sell very well here.
Huh, why are you saying Apple could develop D3DMetal much faster because DXVK was MIT-licensed? Literally nothing would've changed up until now if DXVK had been GPL-licensed, the only difference is that now that they've made it publicly available, they'd have had to license D3DMetal under a GPL-compatible license. Where does the extra delay come in?
I said, appearing transparent. Presumably, it’s been tested and Apple has found it’s not a repeat of the glasshole experience. Clearly they’ve put a lot of time and effort to make it so that interacting with someone wearing the headset isn’t too weird or unpleasant. They may have missed the mark. We’ll see.

As with the Carthaginians, it was also long-fashionable to downplay or even deny Mesoamerican human sacrifice, until the weight of the archeological evidence corroborating the scale of the Conquistadors' accounts became too great: https://www.science.org/content/article/feeding-gods-hundred...

> A lot of things are claimed by researchers in the soft sciences, and I take all of it with a grain of salt

The "soft sciences" have a strong left-wing bias in general (c.f. Haidt), and if anything, the tendency would be to want to downplay the atrocities perpetrated by non-whites, so your skepticism seems misdirected.
Quoting from the actual paper:

"As the relationships between scientific practice and social, archaeological and historical interpretations continue to be debated in the discipline at large (McGovern 1995; Jones 2001; Knapp 2002), it should perhaps not come as a surprise that we insist that it is critical that all types or ‘genres’ of evidence be taken into account in relation to the tophets as both a historical phenomenon and a series of archaeological contexts. We all have to work within the limits of our own expertise, whether as scientists, archaeologists, philologists or epigraphers, but we should also strive in the humanities as much as in the sciences to apply the highest standards of academic rigour, without preconceptions, in order to formulate falsifiable hypotheses and interpretations that take into account the full range of available sources—however strange we may find the results..."

I don't know, that sounds like a pretty good "understanding of the scientific process". (Admittedly, I'm just an astrophysicist, so maybe I don't understand "the scientific process".)

> Metal itself is the parallel stack, no?

Ah perhaps I interpreted the quote in the wrong way then. At first it read to me as if Apple did their own bespoke compatibility work, but it's a comment about the mostly artificial Apple Silicon GPU / Metal stack that is only available on Apple devices.
Engagement they were always great at. Not forced like on other platforms but organic, because they stepped out of the way and let users do their thing.

But everything they do now is to try and force arbitrary engagement metrics and this will only drive users away. Contrary to popular belief users don't like bubbles.
> Hitler didn’t invade/occupy Russia but the Soviet Union

You seem to be really straining to split hairs here.

Russia was part of the USSR as the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic [0].

In any case, people in the West commonly referred to the USSR colloquially as simply "Russia." Example: Churchill famously said in October 1939 (just after Nazi Germany's invasion of Poland) that "I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest." [1]

There are two obvious limits:

- this may be true in the long run, this does not mean people will magically adapt in one day. Luddites were skilled workers whose jobs were replaced by much less skilled jobs because of mechanisation.

- People work much, much less than in the past: working hours for those who work were almost cut in half in 150 years [0], and there are relatively way less people who work (much longer studies, much longer retirement than a century ago) - if you count time spent on domestic work.

Slight jitter + strong and complex selection functions, like "is it useful?", "is it more useful than what came before?", "is it appreciated by the audience?", etc.

The creative generation part - adding some randomness to the process - is trivial with machines. Much easier than with humans adults, who often have to learn to allow more randomness and in their thinking/feeling, in order to make some creative work. But the selection functions are deeply social, which is something we're instinctively good at, and had little luck teaching the machines so far.

Well, with the possible exception of GPT-4, which may have learned just enough about what humans like, that it could do a passing job at discriminating art/innovation from noise. I say may - it feels possible, but we won't know until someone properly tests for it.
I imagine eventually your phone will be also able to do these spatial video recordings so the functionally on the headset will fade into the background as a fringe use for passively capturing something while you happened to have the headset on (and enjoying the spatial videos you captured with your phone)

No. When friends are over we play board games or hangout. If the device becomes as ubiquitous as phones or laptops then people will likely watch movies together apart. The concept of hanging out could possibly change. The idea of being present will evolve to a slightly different notion with the headsets.

Of course the headset could be a huge flop. But I think having a personal, portable holodeck is a hot idea.

It’s weirdly written, maybe to mimic conditional machine instructions. It’s also unusual in that it seems to assume that each input array contains each number only once, as it outputs numbers contained in both input arrays only once, but only under that prior assumption.
Aren't those same people now voting directly, with their wallets, to let an industry die? Why do you want to add a middleman politician to the process? Do people not know what's good for them? Why would they then know what's good for them when voting for those politicians?
Surely the influence of some of these sources of noise can be modeled and filtered out. A University of Vienna currently conducts experiments to measure the gravitational force at very small sales, and they already have to do this with things like crowds moving about the city during rush hours.
So I have a bank who does this too. It’s not a dark pattern. They are just incompetent.

>Like how does all this Metal, compile-your-shaders, port-your-games stuff even get budgeted, when it's eventually dead on arrival?

iOS gaming is the biggest and most profitable in the world. In fact, iOS is bigger than PS5, Xbox, and PC gaming.

iOS uses Metal. Apple Silicon is mostly just a scaled up iPhone SoC. Macs basically get most things funded by iOS.

The Game Porting Toolkit is the first Mac-only gaming tool Apple made in a long time. It shows that Apple wants AAA games on Macs.

>But then Apple doesn't ship devices with actually powerful GPUs, so it can never compete with the gaming PCs which are far less expensive and far more powerfull graphics-wise.

But Apple does ship powerful GPUs. In fact, the M2 Max is probably the most or second most powerful GPU on laptops. But games aren't optimized for Metal nor ARM, so they run slower than Nvidia laptop GPUs.

The Next Crisis Will Start with Empty Office Buildings
I don't think it realistically did - it included a system of authorisation that implied a demand that was intentionally denied, however there are multiple other old postal systems which definitely did (e.g. the Imperial Mail of the Holy Roman Empire [1] being one of the significant ones, but that itself built on older systems). A more defensible claim would be the strictly limited claim that the idea of attempting to create a global postal system with global addressability is a new idea. But even long before the UPU, a lot of countries had treaties to allow for forwarding of post, so I think it's unlikely that this idea was new as well, just previously impractical.

> But comments like yours make it sound as if people were sleeping in tents or trailers on Moscow's roads.

That's not the type of misery I thinks of when the USSR comes up — the gulags, the secret police, the inability to leave, the propaganda, not the housing.

(Also the pre-war disasters like the Holomodor, as while you did exclude that by saying post-war and Warsaw Pact, the preceding comment said "Soviet").
Eh? The UK's problems are pretty typical of a developed country; aging population. The Russian problem is something else entirely. You'd definitely want to have the UK's population challenges over Russia's.

That was for the M1 ultra, while TFA is on a standard M1.
I mean, for the work I do that’s probably true. My work is 99% CPU/RAM/disk dependent.

GPU obviously not, but maybe that claim would hold water at some arbitrary wattage limit.

My takeaway is that the GPU “doesn’t completely suck” and that Apple are dedicating continuing resources to making their platform actually usable, which I was worried about. I mean, it seems difficult just to intentionally use the Apple Neural Engine, and impossible to explicitly use it, which makes testing aggravating. Any continued focus on improving developer experience for the coprocessors (GPU, ANE, R1, etc) is a good signal.

It amazes me the lengths older generations will go to convince themselves the problems of this world are somehow the fault of their progeny when these poor kids are only just becoming adults. It is such a common, boring trope these days. Honestly, do older people really believe this nonsense? I am genuinely curious because it is so often I see these types of articles and someone has to be paying for them.
To be fair, the M1 is now approaching 3 years of age. And the game is being emulated.
It's usually to promote the academics, their paper, and their institutions. Is there a goal I am missing here?

I'm in the demographic they're doing this study on - based in the UK where drinking culture far exceeds the like of most Western nations - and go to gigs at least once a week.

If the option to have 5 or 6 pints was there, most of my demographic would take it. Drinks are just too expensive though; people get buzzed by other means. Most of the people I meet and go to concerts with consume Ketamine. It gives the same feeling as alcohol in small doses, and might cost £10 for a night while leaving you with no hangover. MDMA and Cannabis is just as prolific, depending on the genre of music. The alternative is that everyone sneaks in hip flasks of cheap spirit, and buys mixers inside which cost a fraction of the price.

This study would have been better done by measure the sobriety of those at the concert, rather than drinks sold by the bar. I think it would tell a very different story.
Why do you think the Carthaginians didn't sacrifice children? One one hand you have various accounts from different people claiming they did; maybe they were all mistaken or lying or repeating rumors.. nothing solid but claims nonetheless. There's a little bit of archeological evidence to back it up too.

On the other hand you have... what? Are there any surviving ancient claims of the Carthaginians being wrongly slandered with this claim? What is your reason for assuming they did not? Innocent until proven guilty? It's not a court, and by that standard you might as well declare any infamous ancient person innocent since the hard evidence is long gone and none of the claimed witnesses can be cross examined. A modern court couldn't convict Genghis Khan of mass murder and war crimes in absentia, all the remaining evidence against that man is hearsay at best, but I don't think that's a reason to assume he was innocent.

Maybe it's an appeal to the fundamental goodness of human nature? That the Carthaginians are assumed to be innocent because what they're accused of goes against intrinsic human nature? Surely not; human nature includes the capacity for all manner of brutality; proven in the modern era.
Isn't it when anchored to energy consumption? Sure you can put a powerful GPU in a laptop and make it effectively anchored to wall plug...

> . But now with the market share they have… Hard to ignore as a busines

That is not true at all. Ignoring Mac as a gamedev is one of the easiest decisions we've ever made at every studio I worked at. Even the studio where the boss used a Mac! The market share is minuscule and lacks even the Steamdeck and proton pushing linux support into Steam games.

That Apple saw fit to half-effort this tooling then lock it behind a license which prevents gamedevs shipping with it, and steam from packaging it, means Apple has yet again demonstrated their time tested poor support for games.
There wasn't much money in miniaturizing them so far. Cooling down tiny amounts of matter is much easier than cooling down larger amounts, so maybe there's hope for a microchip sized BEC in 20 years.
Yeah, but that's the first attempt. The game porting toolkit is designed to shorten the time it takes to launch the game on macOS for the first time by allowing you to take the ready Windows version and just running it directly on macOS with translation. A finished macOS port would have additional work after this step.

of course, Lain has an unfair advantage in not really needing any kind of interface to live in the Wired.
