iCloud? The only answer you’re ever going to get anywhere is - “No, your data is getting synced”. “Why don’t you enable and disable it”. Or “restart it”. My favourite is when Apple Support asks you to reinstall or reset the iOS or reinstall macOS entirely even if something as tiny as some sync problem occurs, with such confidence and matter of fact tone that you are forced to debate whether you are talking to some kafkasque and sadist bot.

This is the Apple playbook. Naming and shaming them on social media doesn't work. Emails don’t get answered. Your customer request gets stonewalled. Sometimes you feel maybe it’s Apple paying you to use their products and not the other way round.

An ex manager was thought to be crazy by us freshers when he would say that the moment he gets a Mac, for personal or work usage, the first thing he does is install Linux on that. We used to think he was some GNU/FOSS nut. He would smile and say - give it time, you’ll understand.

And I understand now how helplessly hostile the Apple ecosystem is. You literally feel like a hostage — you can use it with such stonewalling and infuriating limits and you start feeling this is the only way!

At this point I don’t think it’s anything other than self sabotage if anyone still says

- but I use Time Machine (or any XYZ Apple thing that involves data integrity and reliability) - it works, or is “good enough”

- or relies on something like iCloud for something like “data backup and integrity” in anyway.

Can’t wait for the day when file access is easier on iOS (of course aft explicit permissions - which is the case even today actually) etc, or Android sucks less - in this glorious duopoly. I meant when they’re forced to open up their platform, because they’re not going to do it themselves!
I saw some product get made that uses the flapping light hologram tech which I'm not sure if he created it first but yeah, pretty cool.

The product is some Tomogachi/Pokemon type thing.
I only see a way to get embeddings out. How do I put embeddings into an OpenAI API?
> Who's to say that men are incapable of dealing with their emotions through sombre silence?

The argument generally being made isn't that teaching boys stoicism is wrong. The argument is that it's wrong to teach boys that somber silence is the only acceptable way of dealing with their problems, and that anything else is a sign of weakness (for which they'll face social consequences).

I'd also separately argue that the way we go about teaching this has a tendency to lead to a behavior that more closely resembles avoidance than stoicism.
Hm, I don't entirely know how this works, but for RC planes we use slower motors and higher prop pitch for efficiency, faster motors and lower prop pitch for acceleration.
Once again, almost everyone has underestimated Meta's Fundamental AI Research lab (FAIR) and now they are on full throttle on open-sourcing their AI projects (non-commercial) before O̶p̶e̶n̶AI.com could move on from ChatGPT.

Meta is the one that has the moat and is already at the finish line in the race to zero, beyond LLMs.

This is why O̶p̶e̶n̶AI.com is panicking to governments for regulatory capture to wipe out open-source AI projects to the point where it will be licensed as they know that they cannot win the race to zero without releasing a somewhat licensed open-source LLM or AI project themselves.
I would like there to be more resources to go around in general. I'd like a bigger house so I can raise a family; food to feed that family with; consumer goods and time off to go on holiday and have a fun life.

Economic growth is basically shorthand for producing more of those things so we can enjoy more of them.
Tate has a following because anybody more mild or less delusional will just get shouted down by vocal radicals who have no concept of why lost men gravitate toward people like Tate in the first place. Anybody that exists in the space he does will be called an incel-adjacent far-right radical regardless of how reasonable what they're saying is, and the only winning move there is to just say that detractors are agents of the NWO that want to destroy them for telling the truth.

If the terminally online people that lose sleep over Tate could stop equating somebody disagreeing with them with that person being a piece of irredeemable human dogshit, he would be a nobody.
Is there any indication that the processes this post is concerned about actually do anything when Siri is disabled in the usual way?

I have no wireless interfaces enabled on my Mac, yet several Wi-Fi services are running.

My Mac doesn't support Universal Control, yet UniversalControl.app is running.

And so on.

One could certainly argue that the fact that unnecessary background processes run unconditionally is sloppy system design, but in the absence of some evidence that they materially affect system operation, I'd just as soon leave them alone.

If one's goal is to run a minimalist system, I can hardly think of a worse starting point than macOS, compared to which even Windows is at least somewhat amenable, given that both WinPE and Server Core exist as vendor-supplied examples.

I say this as a near full-time Mac user since the early '90s.

If you're going to cite sources like that at least get it remotely close to right.

"For aircraft, or just generally, you want to move a large mass of air slowly. So you can reduce the velocity component of kinetic energy, which goes as the square. You want to move a large amount of mass slowly, not a small amount of mass fast... So, the way you make aircraft engines more efficient is you move a lot of air slowly. Like big fans, basically, big slow fans work great. Small, tiny. fast-moving jets, are very inefficient." - your favorite billionaire, in the exact interview you're inversely misquoting.

They might not be just naked. It's porn on the internet, they could be made to do literally anything in them. Agree with the sentiment, but the reality is much much harsher than just prudishness of society about nudity.
This was my take when people suggest older cars as an alternative. Safety has improved dramatically in the past 20-30 years, especially with side impacts where fatalities or serious injury can be common. It's one of the few reservations I have when driving my '91 BMW.
I think Up nailed how dogs would behave if they could talk.
At the time Graviton 1 deployed in AWS (November 2018) there were only two RISC-V ASICs in the world (SiFive FE-310 and FU-540) and both were low-volume test chips with just CPU cores and some RAM and GPIO. No PCIe, no USB. Proof of concept only.

The base instruction set (RV64GC + priv 1.10) was only set in stone in July 2019.

And of course the Graviton project will have started in more like 2015 when RISC-V was a rapidly-iterating draft spec with no chips, just starting to transition from being a university research project to being managed by the RISC-V Foundation.

A lot has changed in the last 4 1/2 years. There are now RISC-V server chips that are better than Graviton 1 (A72-class, 64 cores vs 16), with much better ones in the pipeline.
> Musk isn't correct though, or maybe you misunderstood or misquoted him. Higher speed is only more efficient if the craft itself moves at a higher speed.

He's got it completely backwards from what Musk said in that interview, see my reply.
I don't know if it's true, but in another comment thread, it was mentioned that if you truly are the owner of the copyright, filing a DMCA takedown against someone who didn't actually have a violation is not perjury and thus have no real consequences (cept perhaps to say 'sorry bro').

So it's apparently not going to be effective to counterclaim as it cost you more to do this than they lose.
Thanks so much for your kind words and feedback. Apologize for the issue on Firefox. I only tested it on Chrome and have missed it on Firefox. I just created an issue to keep track of this: https://github.com/xitanggg/open-resume/issues/15. Would you mind sharing the OS you are in, is it Mac or Windows?
Yeah I felt like UP started strong and then after the start was pretty generic and totally disconnected from the opening.

This seems to be all the rage right now but there is a significant risk of CTE with BJJ. Concussions are normalized to an alarming degree among all BJJ practitioners I’ve spoken with.
What they probably meant is that elderly people often stay in their large, 5-bedroom family houses once their children have grown up and left. This takes family-sized housing off the market, making it harder for young families to buy big-enough houses.
No, it hasn't failed; OP is begging the question. The registry is still an intrinsic part of Windows and the canonical place to deploy all configuration and settings. It's part of the Windows standard: if you go outside the registry then your app is non-compliant.
Isn't that definition adapt (realize your mind is blocked) and overcome (go for a walk to change your environment)? I think we are saying the same thing. Recognizing your anger has hijacked your reason is exercising resilience over emotion.
> Time Machine works fine until it doesn’t

I have been backing up to Time Machine for years without issues. Recently I started using pnpm (Nodejs package manager) and the backup process hangs on Mui material icons files (@mui/icons-material). Using "sudo fs_usage -f filesys backupd" I see that it is looping over the same files over and over.
It's lots of minor things:

* CVs are generally longer - 2-4 sides. Resumes are more of a one page and done thing.

* Resumes often include a mission statement or similar. CVs don't - you'd put that stuff on a 'cover letter', if at all

* CVs are generally not adjusted per job - it's everything, with only the older stuff abbreviated. Whereas resumes are tailored.
Air quality is not a weather measurement like temperature or humidity, far from it. Air quality is greatly influenced by human activity and is an extremely contentious issue in many countries.
Tintin and Asterix are pretty popular in the UK and India. Easily found in most bookshops. Beyond those series, it’s much harder to find other Franco-Belgian comics. Even the Adventures of Jo and Zette isn’t that well known.

But Tintin and Asterix are very easily available. India has local language translations of Tintin and Asterix as well, example[1].

Anecdotally the quality of the Asterix translations are pretty good, too, complete with the funny character names.

my complaint isn't about the realism. the image of the balloon house was great and the core of the story about moving on is great.

but it feels like they buried that potentially great story under a bunch of efforts to make sure it came off as sufficiently "kid friendly" (e.g., dug constantly shouting squirrel, that other dog with the high pitched voice). the magic of the best pixar movies has been telling stories that kids like without having to pander to them.

> Only thing left is complain why they didn’t think of him when he wasn’t around

Which is a totally valid complaint man. That’s what the whole fuckin article is about. That’s what all this is about. A man is allowed to feel disappointed people didn’t think of him when he wasn’t around, and he’s allowed to express that disappointment out loud. You’re literally perpetuating the cycle by enforcing toxic ideas of masculinity, this idea that you either fix your own problems or shut the fuck up about them.

It’s a self-defeating way to live.

Edit: your comment is god-tier irony because “not being thought of when you’re not around” is like the core of a lot of men’s emotional wounds. As in, a child’s experience of emotional neglect is the caregiver not thinking of the child when they’re not around, so the fact you are holding up the idea of complaining about that for ridicule is so on-the-nose it is actually hurting my soul on your behalf.
Then it should be no big deal for a few concerned folks to opt out.
Right, that's why the question sounded odd to me. "Have you always been sensitive about X" sounds very similar (to me) as "Have you always been a whiny little bitch about X". Apparently it was perceived different back then.

For those wondering about the lines of Catullus that the NYT found unfit to print:

> sunscreen has not been shown to cause any population wide reduction in skin cancer prevalence

Have you accounted for all variables? The moral hazard where people stay out in the sun longer when they're wearing sunscreen, the fact that testing shows there are manufacturers with poor quality control leading to significant differences between claimed SPF and actual SPF, have there been any changes in patterns of time spent outdoors over the years, and how about the fact that different cohorts have different rates and trends?

We know that aging increases the risk of cancer, we also know that repeated instances of UV skin damage make skin cancer more likely.

So, have a look at this graph (Figure 2).

https://www.stats.govt.nz/indicators/occurrence-of-melanoma

The rates in the 25-44 cohort, who grew up when health initiatives about "being sun smart" were introduced to school curricula and promoted in the media are lower and trending slowly downwards.

Whereas the rates for boomers with a lifetime of accumulated UV damage are trending upwards as aging leaves them vulnerable to cancer if all kind.

Endemic vitamin D deficiency is going to need a citation, I think. In my country at least, it's only been noted in children who have very high melanin already, and then dress in our local "tough gangsta" style with baseball caps and hoodies with the hood pulled up over the cap, thus drastically reducing the area of skin exposed.
I think they are banking on size. Like some companies have so many customers and there isn't a readily available alternative that it really doesn't matter how they abuse their customers. They will be turbo-fucked if an alternative pops up, but until then, they can do what they want with minor ablative loss.
This misunderstanding comes up because it is not basic grammar. It's ambiguous grammar. In English, [adjective] + [noun] can be used both to specify a subset of [noun]s that are [adjective], but also it can be used to state that [noun] is categorically [adjective]. Both usages are common. If I say "don't eat poisonous plants", it's understood that I'm referring to the subset of plants that are poisonous. But for example, if I say "thank you for the delicious food", it's understood that I am both thanking you and also saying that (all of) the food is delicious. It would be very unusual to interpret the sentence as me thanking you for only a subset of the food that was delicious.

A sentence like "beware of toxic masculinity" can easily be understood in two ways; first, to beware of the subset of masculinity that is toxic, and second, to beware of masculinity because it is toxic. Even if the former meaning is intended, the latter will be an easy mixup, even for native English speakers.
Painting what as an emotional needs problem -- the issue of boys not being raised with sufficient regard to their emotional needs?

How are they (the boys?) being characterised as women?

At first I thought this was maybe clickbait and the article would provide some additional details. But it’s pretty much as dumb as it sounds.

Basically any radio station owner with a felony is automatically placed into a hearing, and this tax fraud felony from 2008 was made available to the FCC now (from not paying taxes on some cigarette stamps, seems a trifle).

Still seems dumb on the FCCs part. It’s not like you’re guessing about the station. It’s been on the air for a decade. No hearing necessary.
Yet another sad (but unsurprising) reflection of Apple's patronising and contemptuous attitude towards its users. This is the number one reason why I don't use Apple products - because Apple consistently says (via its deeds over a long history): "we could make thing xyz opt-out or configurable, but we won't, it's our way or the highway, resistance is futile, f*** you".

I'm not a fan of Microsoft either (and they ain't no saints either - anyway, I primarily use Linux), but if I have to choose between Microsoft-land and Apple-land, I choose the former, because they, at least, are and always have been way better at giving their users choice, and at making everything configurable.

For me, it's not even so much about privacy, or opaqueness, or interoperability (although Apple is abysmal in those ways too, and they matter too). It's about respect, of which Apple demonstrates none.

Even after a concerted effort, the best that the author - someone who appears to have decent technical know-how - could come up with, was a "whack-a-mole" script that kills Siri whenever it rears its ugly head again. Says it all.
Whether this is real or not, people so dead wrong but REALLY confident are some of the most annoying creatures on the planet
Carbon Copy Cloner has a mode to periodically check backup integrity, and will alert you on mismatch. Given that unlike ZFS, APFS doesn't actually checksum user data, it's worth it for that feature alone. If you use ZFS for your backup destination, then this effectively ends up giving you verification of your non-ZFS source as well. And even if you don't backup to ZFS, then you still get notified that corruption was detected, allowing you to triage and take action.

I think it's CCC5 or CCC6 that actually exposed the list of file mismatches to the user UI, but the diffs were greppable in the diagnostic logs all the way back to CCC3.
Even better. Managers under a director are stack ranked. The lowest ranked manager is asked to "improve soon or else...".

What does this manager do? Finds a scapegoat in his own team as the fall guy for poor performance. Sets the fall guy up for failure. Tells the director, that the team is suffering because of this guy. Fired the fall guy, buys more time for himself from the director.

Don't ask me how I know.

Why though
Speaking of which, I felt [1] was a rather interesting article on that. Multiple people are interviewed and their experiences differ, but stuff like this really stands out, and especially that last paragraph is pretty relevant here:

Prior to my transition, I was an outspoken radical feminist. I spoke up often, loudly and with confidence. I was encouraged to speak up. I was given awards for my efforts, literally — it was like, “Oh, yeah, speak up, speak out.” When I speak up now, I am often given the direct or indirect message that I am “mansplaining,” “taking up too much space” or “asserting my white male heterosexual privilege.” Never mind that I am a first-generation Mexican American, a transsexual man, and married to the same woman I was with prior to my transition.

I find the assertion that I am now unable to speak out on issues I find important offensive and I refuse to allow anyone to silence me. My ability to empathize has grown exponentially, because I now factor men into my thinking and feeling about situations. Prior to my transition, I rarely considered how men experienced life or what they thought, wanted or liked about their lives. I have learned so much about the lives of men through my friendships with men

What continues to strike me is the significant reduction in friendliness and kindness now extended to me in public spaces. It now feels as though I am on my own: No one, outside of family and close friends, is paying any attention to my well-being.

I can recall a moment where this difference hit home. A couple of years into my medical gender transition, I was traveling on a public bus early one weekend morning. There were six people on the bus, including me. One was a woman. She was talking on a mobile phone very loudly and remarked that “men are such a–holes.” I immediately looked up at her and then around at the other men. Not one had lifted his head to look at the woman or anyone else. The woman saw me look at her and then commented to the person she was speaking with about “some a–hole on the bus right now looking at me.” I was stunned, because I recall being in similar situations, but in the reverse, many times: A man would say or do something deemed obnoxious or offensive, and I would find solidarity with the women around me as we made eye contact, rolled our eyes and maybe even commented out loud on the situation. I’m not sure I understand why the men did not respond, but it made a lasting impression on me.

What the person said was "SOME risc-v chips can execute in order".

In fact the vast vast majority of RISC-V chips shipped to date are in-order, including the JH7110 SoC in this year's VisionFive 2, Star64 and PineTab-V, and Milk-V Mars. The only shipping OoO RISC-V chips are the TH1520 and SG2042 with C910 cores, as used in the Sipeed LicheePi4A and Milk-V Pioneer boards.

BOOM was (and is) an experimental university project, not a product. But as Jim Keller said in a recent interview "with RISC-V a couple of university students created an OoO core that was better than the first Intel i7s which hundreds of engineers worked on".
Zanzibar is a system described in a public paper, not a product; it can't be killed. Indeed, it has been implemented as a service by numerous other companies.
As someone who runs a .0 on a public /24 and who uses net.inet.ip.hostzerobroadcast to not waste IPs needlessly, I thought it was hilarious when someone emailed me to tell me that I shouldn't do it, and that it'll break all sorts of things.

Then how did he see my web site? How did he send me an email? I asked him these questions and he said there apparently are hidden breakages that I can't possibly know that'll magically come out when I'm least expecting them. Naw - we don't need evidence here! Evidence just confuses people.
Yeah, this resonates. I don't need maximum comfort in my vehicle, and I don't think the electronic and technology features are necessary. But I do think about safety and I do have reservations when driving, depending on where I'm going and how I need to drive to get there. I do know that if I was t-boned I'd be toast, and I often think about buying a new car just for the upgrades with airbags, materials, construction, etc. But the joy of driving the car, the familiarity and feel of the car on the road in all weather, the intuition behind the wheel...I just really love it.
Thanks for your kind words and for sharing about the turbo repo. I will look more into it next
