>this incident could potentially disrupt the supply of semiconductors and impact GPU prices. The global chip shortage has already led to increased prices and limited availability of GPUs. A disruption at TSMC could exacerbate this issue, potentially leading to further price hikes in the market for GPUs.

This is a non-sequitr. Yes there was a cyberattack, but you presented no evidence as to how this could affect chip production besides giving a bunch of anecdotes to what a disruption would do. The rest of the article is informative but I just didn't understand this part.
Yes, I know. The crux of the case is that the cakeshop wanted to discriminate on basis of religious belief and attempted to argue this via a line of bullshit that the Supreme Court bought. The argument was that writing on said cake was a violation of their right to free expression.

Who would have to own the data centers for Yudkowsky to support "throwing money at profit-driven AI development"?

> Now that’s just blatantly bullshit. The OS takes up at least 9GB. There are many Linux distros that take half of that.

Don’t care about that.

> Not to mention the OS is preloaded with a lot of Apple’s proprietary apps, most of which are designed to pull you into some kind of sales pitch.
Fitness+, Apple Music, iCloud, the entire OS is an ad designed to sell you on their ecosystem.

I’ve been iOS user for almost two years now. The only sales pitch I saw, was at the start about 3 months of free Apple Music. The rest I haven’t saw, as I don’t use fitness app or any other things.

The only thing that I’ve bought so far, was €1 iCloud subscription to increase iCloud storage to 50GB. And I didn’t even see any “ad” for it.

> The most egregious statement, however, is that the OS “doesn’t change every year”. You say this right after the iOS 16 update completely changed a large portion of the OS, and in some very user unintuitive ways.

The only thing I noticed after upgrading to iOS 16 was a slightly degraded battery life and performance which was eventually fixed. The rest stayed majorly the same.

Compare that to mayhem that is Android where it’s Material 1 then Material 2 with apps still lagging behind on Material 1 then it’s material You, now it’s material 3 or whatever.

> Not to mention iOS is a glitchy mess even on the latest hardware. Frequently the OS stalls on wakeup, stalls when trying to swap apps, randomly drops wifi when my laptop doesn’t, the keyboard will get stuck on screen, it’ll even skip inputs entirely and freeze for a few seconds.

Haven’t seen any of the behavior that you’re mentioning.

I don't think it will be easier! But I don't think forgiving the loans is harmless, I think it makes the problem worse. So I don't support doing an easier thing that makes the problem both worse and also even harder politically to solve than it already was.

I think there are a number of policies to consider, all the way from beefing up the current programs - like income based repayment, public service forgiveness, and grants - to regulatory price controls, to your idea of nationalizing essentially the current system, to rethinking the whole concept of what college is for and who should go.

There are a bunch of different things I might support depending on the details, but just "I dunno, do a one time blanket forgiveness and nothing else I guess?" really ain't it.

I am used to being able to write code on my 'computer'. That's my standard definition of 'computer' -- or maybe let's call it 'personal computer'. I can't write code on my microwave for my microwave; I can't write code on my TV for my TV; and I can't write code for my iPad on my iPad -- this means all these devices are computer-powered 'devices'. They are NOT 'personal computers'.

At least, this is how I see it. And while I use my iPP all the time, with kbd & pencil, I would like to bang out a chunk of Python once in a while or write some lisp --- there are 'ways' to do this, they're just clunky.

I'd like to write apps for the iPP, too. But I don't have the required 'development system' (a Mac), and the Swift environment that was recently announced seems more like a playground than a dev environment.

As for moving files around -- I find using Google Drive is the easiest cross-platform way to do this; but yes, it's mainly into the iPP, except for pictures & videos.

> Hooks definitely build a complex data structure

But you don't. It is react that builds the datastructure in the background, not you that builds and controls it.
Hooks might be declarative, but this is actually orthogonal to being pfp or not.

All of that is totally fine btw., there is no need for everything to follow a pfp style. It's a tradeoff. But we shouldn't call something pfp that isn't, even if it is closely related.
I agree there is a difference between abuse that comes from trying to escape negative feelings, and occasional recreation use "for fun" which is mostly self limiting for overuse- once you develop tolerance, health symptoms, hangovers, etc. the appeal wanes.

> You know what rich college students don't have a lot of? "fear, social anxiety, and trauma".

However, I strongly disagree with this. They might even tell you they don't have these issues, but they are unconscious. Hard partying "rich college students" are largely practicing binge drinking, and it is to escape negative emotions. It's not true at all that being rich and privileged protects you from these things. A very common thing is wealthy kids having neglectful or emotionally unavailable parents, and being very afraid of being "unlovable," or being rejected. This is exactly what pushes kids to participate in degrading hazing rituals, binge drinking, drug use, and generally being afraid to enforce boundaries around their own health and well being for fear of being rejected or excluded.

Psychologists are starting to notice that wealthy children often have behavioral issues that look a lot like PTSD, despite being privileged [1]. These symptoms can look like those in refugee children, or war torn areas, and were previously seen as totally impossible with wealthy and privileged children [2]. But kids don't care how much is in their parents bank account: emotional abuse and trauma is what causes this, and wealth doesn't protect you from abuse.

> I've yet to met anybody who knows Python/Ruby/C#/Java/Rujst/Go and JS to chose JS outside of the web. Because there, we have the choice.

I would. Typescript is easily the best language for anything from app development to small projects and has been for years now. If you're bringing up Go/Rust, then TS has been incredibly good in that timeframe. Before that there was Pythong+Django and Ruby/RoR back when we did SSR, and Java applets or flash before that.

Stock Android phone free of bloatware?

I've not seen any. There are growing collections of debloat scripts that use adb and do not require rooting the phone but it's hit and miss per model as to completeness and not breaking the OS startup. Some vendors lock down their bloat so that rooting is required and in my opinion those should get returned / refunded and the product reviews on sites such as Amazon should warn others rather than rooting the phone. I've returned a few. My uleFone had the least cruft on it and the least lockdown but still uses upwards of 4GB ram after my first pass so I still have a long way to go.

Does the clothing you wear sport a logo? That's an advertisement, right?

Does your computer have an Intel Inside sticker on it? An Apple maybe? Perhaps it's emblazoned with Lenovo.

How about the car you drive? Does it not proudly display the manufacturer's logo? Did you ask the dealer to remove their stickers and plate surround?

As I look around my house, all I see are ads! For things I paid for!
The cited reason in statute for the ability to waive or modify student loan provisions was to provide relief for hardship during a national emergency. Just because the emergency was technically near completion doesn't mean that there wasn't broad hardship that could be given relief.

Just like, say, the official national emergency of katrina ended waaaayyy before many of those affected no longer faced hardship from the emergency.

Until adults who own guns are held legally responsible when they negligently store them (by existing laws), juvenile thefts will continue. With no consequences, gun laws are useless. We don't need more gun laws; we need to enforce the ones we already have.

The juveniles in this story should also face consequences for stealing and possessing and likely selling firearms (beyond being expelled from school). Again, without consequences, the law is toothless and ineffective and things won't change.

Well, clang actually uses LLVM.

As I see it: LLVM is like a universal remote. It is a quasi-assembly representation that can then be further compiled to multiple architectures. If you target LLVM, then you can compile to anything that LLVM can compile to. To support additional architectures, then all that needs to happen is for that architecture to work with LLVM, and then every project that uses LLVM will now support that architecture.

C, on the other hand, relies on a compiler. Because a compiler may be specifically designed for one architecture, then it may (although it is not guaranteed) generate better binaries than LLVM.

Because C can be compiled using clang, which uses LLVM, then there is nothing that C can do that LLVM cannot.

It may, however, be possible to produce opcode sequences using LLVM that is not possible in C, since C imposes semantics and structure on a program (syntax).

Lastly, it may be a simple question of resources. Is it easier to find people who know C, or people who know LLVM? Is it easier to set up a toolchain that compiles C, or one that compiles LLVM? Historically speaking, which one has been around longer? (C, of course.) Do the semantics of the source language closely match the available C paradigms? Which is more stable?
New Jersey had such a law for a while but no production gun with that functionality is available for sale to the public so they removed it.
There are so many guns sloshing around America, something like this is not surprising at all. So now we have to get used to a world where every kid could have a gun, every homeless lunatic raving to himself in a corner can have a gun, the asshole that cuts in line in front of you probably has a gun, the guy that cuts you off on the freeway has a gun, etc.

People are complaining about police killing citizens, and it is a valid complaint, but on the other hand the police have a valid worry that every two bit criminal they stop for a minor misdemeanor can be armed. Even if it is a child.

The gun rights advocate solution to this is simple -- buy more guns. In the confused mind of a gun rights advocate if you have a gun in your pocket, you will be totally protected when some maniac pulls a gun and shoots you in the chest. Alas, the laws of physics do not work that way.

4:3 does happen, just coincidentally, to damn-near match the aspect ratio of a 2-page spread on a comic, too (~1.3 width/height on an open comic book, 1.333... for 4:3, 1.6 for 16:10) which means a larger screen in a wider ratio might not actually be any benefit (or not enough to justify the extra weight/unweildiness, perhaps) for that particular narrow use case.

Which, it's a very niche and specific thing, but still, if we're talking "what's the very best device for that exact thing, disregarding all other concerns", having a 4:3 screen ratio's an advantage over all the other common ones.

Only some drive-managed SMR drives hide the need to do writes in large blocks. Of course, they hide it the only way they know how: buffer writes as much as possible, but eventually do the slow thing and hope nobody notices the performance fell off a cliff.

+this ... AMD was just weird and clunky to use in practice... CJS bundlers were much easier to grasp by comparison, and when browserify (and those that followed) came out, it was kind of a no-brainer at the time. If ESM were finalized maybe even 2 years earlier, we'd probably be using that already for everything. I think the Node team choosing to make esm/cjs interop more difficult than what babel had been doing slowed down the switch. I get the reasons why, I just don't agree with the approach in the end. I think if they made the interop good, and declared after Node v#, it would be esm only, that would have worked out better for everyone. The risk being a kind of Python 2->3 paralysis. If the interop was good for a few versions, I don't think the friction would have been that bad. Then after 2-3 years, the switch could have been much cleaner.

To be fair, nobody said it would. But getting into the habit of being paranoid about hooking a proto-AI up to the internet now would be good, instead of what we're doing, which is happily gathering lots of experience with enabling AI agency as much as humanly possible.

On mobile it's really a hassle now. I was in an app that wouldn't let me decide how to open a tweet link. So it kept opening the tweet in a web view, where I'm not logged in. The usual "open in twitter" banner with button kept showing, but when I tapped it it would open the twitter app and immediately bring me to a new user registration page. Closing that just brought me back to the feed. No way to open the tweet except, I suppose, logging in again through the web view. Great UX.
It is very much a thing. Most (fit) human beings are somewhat concave at points around their waist, have some level of squishiness in their sides and lower back, and don't particularly enjoy embedding a drawstring as far into their flesh as it will go. Not to mention the leg holes, which don't give you nearly the same purchase, but don't have drawstrings and wrap around relatively soft flesh. If you want to grab someone by the speedo, you can grab someone by the speedo, with the best grab going through the waist and a leg hole, give you complete control over your victim's waist.

It's why there are different suits for water polo vs swimming. The water polo ones can be put through a lot more abuse than the swimming ones, which put under the same conditions have a tendency to tear in half, and they have less stretchy waistbands to make grabbing harder (but far from impossible).
