But I have to say I don’t understand how what Saagar is saying is supporting your (our?) point. Apple has ability to do a whole lot of things that will never make it to end-users — just because some flavor of Linux is being used in the CPU bringup process doesn’t mean anything for the final products.

As evidenced by the fact that M1 is far from the first chip they brought up in-house - and even then only on Macs, not on iPads which use the same chip.

I hear they even have some non-Apple hardware running macOS in data centers, the absolute horror ;P
Yup, as somebody who desperately wants great python integration in my suite of spreadsheets I'm not even going to consider trying this.
Someone who has never thought about off roading or 4x4s may be very surprised that the dirt matters so much because they have never thought about it. So it sounds like an important topic to address for the audience of the New Yorker.

First, you should take this quiz by telling "us" your mother's maiden name, the name of the street you grew up on, your elementary school's name, the name of your first grade teacher, the name of your first pet, the make/model of your first car, and to help make sure we know it's you, please enter your SSN# which also helps keep all of this info from being confused with someone else. After all of that, please, continue to avoid taking on any debt. We will relieve you of that burden
How do you lock down Excel - that is the issue we have where I work and the main reason excel is strongly discouraged.

There are two main issues my org has battled with:

1.People basically turn excel into their own mini databases which causes a support nightmare.

2. This is strongly related to 1) Data provenance is a nightmare because so many people were passing around excel spreadsheets it became very difficult to track down the source of the figures people were using. User A passed their spreadsheet to user B who modified it passed it to User C who further modified it, passed it to User d from there some figures ended up in front of a manager and now we have a problem...

It's not so much a problem with Power users those are the types of people using python (or R) it's the tier of users below that level that cause the damage with excel.

Now a marriage license and a marriage certificate are two different things, and some jurisdictions do make them optional because those jurisdictions recognize different types of marriage, such as by common law and cohabitation. But it is unimaginable to me to just shack up with a spouse without benefit of law or ceremony, and hope for the best. Because we are eventually going to get into a world of hurt, whether it is at the hospital when the HIPAA enforcers get to us, or in a criminal prosecution/incarceration for matters of spousal privilege and visiting rights, or ultimately in the event of incapacitation or death, when the next of kin swoops in, how you gonna prove that?

If I had a wife, I would ensure that she had all the rights and privileges of being my wife, and not have to jump through some ridiculous hoops made of red tape because some Sovereign Citizen told us it was optional to go see the JoP.
I don't understand how so many people can genuinely recommend Latex. I just spent the entire afternoon and evening debugging an issue that made nonsense errors pop up at random unrelated lines in my document, with only every second run somehow managing to spit out a mostly correct PDF (the rest produced nothing), despite me not touching any files between runs. I ended up deleting files one by one until I found the one causing the problem, then bisecting it to find the offending block. Removing the abstract from one of the bibliography items ended up fixing all of the 40 or so errors (none in that file!)

It's the most unreliable, poorly documented, full of footguns "tool" that I've ever had the misfortune of using.
IDK, I would argue it is better than your average driver in a lot of cases. Not just "drunk teenagers." On my daily commute I constantly see people on their phone while driving, eating, probably too tired, etc. A couple times it has even reacted faster then I probably could and saved me when other drivers suddenly veer off.

Nvidia is interesting on multiple fronts. For one, GPUs aren't just useful for ML. Secondly, ML isn't just LLMs. I also find their bet on USD to have been vindicated by other industry players, and their Omniverse/digital twin concepts are going to be important tools for media, robotics, research, among other things. I'm not so sure their P/E isn't absurd, because it probably is, but you're not betting on just one horse with their stock.
thanks for the reply but I don't think I understood what you said in the context of my question.

I'm stuck on why we care about surprisal as `log 1/p`.
There's just about zero similarity between MitID and REAL ID. It's more similar to login.gov, but still not super close.
log 1/p is just -log p
Of course you'll find countless HN users who use it or have set their family up with it, but in general, no, I don't think many people want locally managed files anymore. The whole point of documents is to share them, and cloud offerings do that better.

The whole landscape has shifted from underneath LO and I'm not sure they have the capacity to adapt. Especially since they still haven't made a decision about what the toolbar UI should be, something that should have been settled a decade ago.
You're not describing semver, you're describing traditional feature-based versioning, which I agree is nice.

This is semver:

> Remove some obscure feature which almost nobody ever used? Backward incompatible change, must increment major version.

> Add some major new feature which is a massive quantity of code, visible and likely important to all users–but 100% backward compatible? Increment minor version instead.
If I had to go back to Linux, and if it were an option (which it’s not), I’d pay $300 without hesitation, to have all Apple’s office-like and other “bonus” apps on it. They’re my top choice in practically every category, when outside factors aren’t deciding for me (it’s usually MS or Google crap, when that happens—man, I hate Google Docs)

I ran several Qmail systems. Daemontools worked rather well. They had a habit of delivering email reliably. "Life with Qmail" was a very decent primer.

I also ran several other mail systems at the same time (and still do). Exchange's smtpd is still a bit of a pain and I never put it on the internet directly.

Nowadays (last 15 years) I use Exim for a MTA/proxy - at home and at work.
I say that every time. As a web developer I have yet to find a tool that lets me write apps as fast as the flash ide and as3 allowed me to do. And only now, 14 years later are the standards getting to a point that the features and be compared.
100% agree. I went through a similar phase of being infatuated with work ethic, and all I got were the following three lessons learned:

1. Trying to "put more effort" into artifacts (e.g. note taking) while learning something the first time is counterproductive. Write something lightweight and put your focus on paying attention.

2. Do one intensive review session while you still remember the content. Either teach someone else or write a document that could teach someone else. It's an ineffective use of time to do that more than once, for later review of the material just skim what you wrote on your first review.

3. Everyone who offers advice is just telling you their life story, dressed up as a simple directive. "Work harder" often means they wished they worked harder in some part of their life. Treat it like any other life story: learn the lessons they did, but don't let it become baggage that you irrationally follow.

Back on topic of Polya's How to Solve It, I took a no-credit uni course where the professor taught in Socratic style that expected us to (loosely) follow Polya's process. It was a great experience, and I've always been fond of Polya's steps because of it.

I've owned several Apple laptops over the last 20 years for both personal and work use and they've all had reduced battery life over time. I've suffered one recall, another one which failed 1 month past the warranty and which the Apple Store said was quite normal(!), and several had degraded to the point I had to ensure they didn't drop down to below 20% (or some other magic number). After the first few I took into the Apple Store only for them to say "oh that's to be expected" I stopped going in. Not sure why people think Apple laptops are magically immune, they're not. They suffer battery issues just the same as other brands do.
I did not follow parent’s reasoning either. They did something without any documentation at all.

Pocketbase seems like fun; I had not heard of it before. Separate, but related: whenever I contemplate transitioning from a relational DB to something like CouchDB, or a similar option, to simplify the initial setup and SQL-related hassles, I inevitably realize that, as appealing as it sounds and as much as I'd love to, the challenges and limitations down the road become more apparent and I stick with SQL. I know this is obvious, but the choice really does heavily depend on your specific use case. SQL makes some simple things hard, but the reverse is also true :( I wonder if we'll reach a stage where we can get the advantages of both ¯ \ _ ( ツ ) _ / ¯
They could all be right. 2005 Google can be a much better place to work than 2015 Google, which can also be a much better place to work than 2023 Google, which can still be better than many other large companies out there. When your starting point is as good as Google's early days was there's a lot of room to get steadily worse over the years.

That was exactly the approach I was doing.

That is the opposite of meditation, I've never heard of that being described anywhere as meditation, that sounds like daily rumination / churn.

>Probably because most users of excel don't have any experience installing and running Python which is even a pain in the ass for people that know Python lol.

An embedded Python is about 10 MiB. I just checked. Excel could easily have its own separate copy.

Gevent takes over, often making advanced asyncio not work on gevent programs. Patching things globally should obviously be seen as dangerous in itself.

FWIW, the Flash IDE (now called Animate) and ActionScript 3 never went away, they just became irrelevant.

Indeed. Logging a map-like object seems like a pretty basic expectation. Separate keys and values as parameters seem very C-like.
> but protectionist populist economics are mostly a phenomenon of large developed countries, not fledgeling economies

This simply isn’t true. To the extent that fledgling economies eschew protectionism it is generally a condition of trade agreements and “aid” imposed by rich countries. That some rich countries are returning to protectionism for critical sectors shows the dire consequences of deindustrialization, both politically and materially (as the pandemic laid bare).
When my son was about 5 I started taking him to monster truck shows. I don’t know why, exactly. He’s always loved cars and spectacle, I suppose. We went to about a dozen all told, driving yearly to Maple Leaf Monster Jam in Vancouver, BC.

I always wondered, “Who goes to monster truck shows?” In my experience, it’s mostly that — guys taking their young kids. There were many young girls at the shows we attended, and some female drivers.

They do _really well_ at fan service. All the drivers know their job is to give people a thrill, and that the trucks are ultimately disposable. It’s a lot more engaging than sitting and watching a couple hundred laps of F1 or stock cars.
I'd note that the 2013 MBP also has an SSD that hasn't experienced any problems so far.

Thanks for that. I didn't realize there was such a definition of expansion rate and was going off the intuitive meaning of the terms. Thank you for the clarifications.

I don't think the newer MESA drivers can interact with the OSX UAPI. That was just a stopgap until the Linux Kernel driver was far enough along.
You could also get fired even with salary income.
I think the bigger problem here was inappropriate expectations: "two tests a day". That's not a reasonable way to increase test coverage. And so the developers quite reasonably just tried to minimise the time spent on it.
Generally I don't think that's necessarily a good idea. It's hard for there to be real competition in transmission markets, so trying to apply free market principles to an inherently monopolistic market is probably not going to yield good results. Maybe for a narrow part like connecting HVDC lines between the hubs, but traditional transmission lines and actual lines to consumers should definitely be well regulated utilities. There aren't multiple sewer lines or multiple water lines running to my house, and it doesn't make sense for there to be multiple power lines to my house.

Plus, those transmission companies are probably going to have a lot of eminient domain which I'm not a huge fan of the government using eminent domain to benefit a small slice of private corporations which theoretically operate in a "free market" and less refulated. I'm overall more accepting of eminent domain for a regulated utility compared to a far less regulated free market corporation.

I'm just acknowledging that such organizations tend to move a lot slower, and it's those slow movements that are leading to the bottlenecks of attachments. But theoretically one could push those utilities to be faster at doing so and allowing them to better position themselves financially to respond to these market forces faster. But if they're going to have to come up with billions today that they have not already budgeted for, it's hard to convince them to expand rapidly when their payoff is in decades.
This summary really undersells the book IMO. It's one of the more interesting books I've read in that it is not structured linearly. He introduces a few ideas which have very particular language he defines in the remainder of the book which is essentially a dictionary. If you don't come from a math-y background and you are trying to get into serious mathematics, this definitely helps to 'lift the veil' on how you might think about math. Most of the criticism I've heard about the book comes from

Paraphrased from memory:
"I'm not claiming to have discovered anything special here. What I think I'm doing is describing the mental operations that lots of people perform, consciously or unconsciously, to solve different sorts of problems. You probably already do some or all of what I'm describing."

I found that he was describing some thought patterns that I am extremely familiar with because I use them so often. Making them explicit was pretty cool. I haven't gotten around to his follow-up works yet, but I look forward to them.
That seems like a problem that should be solved. Logging structured data is a very basic expectation.
While I don't know about the details of what all the other EVs have, most of the legacy auto EVs model year 2020 and earlier were basically built on ICE platforms, and mostly have the same features except having an EV drivetrain.

Many models coming out now are on new dedicated EV platforms, so you'd really have to check them to see what connectivity features they might have.

Nothing about EVs require connectivity though, it's just Tesla that have caused a shift in direction in many other automakers.
I feel like C4 tries to be a common language for back-of-the-envelope sketches, which is a laudable goal. UML tried to be a formal standard for back-of-the-envelope sketching, which was lunacy. But if we can all agree on basically what we're drawing, that'd help, surely.

But C4 seems almost too lightweight to merit a name. Its drawing toolbox is just boxes, arrows, stick figures and datastore, with 'boxes' meaning one of four different things depending on the diagram level (Context, container, component, code). But the boxes are the easy part! The only thing I want a diagramming standard to settle on is 'what do the arrows mean, and which direction do they go in', and C4 fails on that front - the arrows mean 'whatever you label them to mean' - they are literally just 'relationships', so on one C4 diagram you might have one arrow that means 'writes data to' and another one that means 'is written to by', and that's fine.

The C4 docs say little of relationships, apart from, 'Try to be as specific as possible with the label, ideally avoiding single words like, "Uses".'

The C4 examples contain lots of relationships labelled as 'Uses'.

So I'm sorry, but I just don't see the value C4 brings to the table. Do I need to pay for the training?
"Disposable" lithium batteries are increasingly common. Mostly vapes and single-use phone charge packs. Even though these use rechargeable cells, they often don't include a means to recharge them, so people just chuck them in the bin
> Apple's problem was not with Flash itself as a technology but with the half-assed player implementation form Macromedia/Adobe — the only one that existed at the time.

Having been there at the time, this is the real answer. The Flash runtime had the distinction of being the #1 cause of crashes for Mac OS users, and Steve had f#@king had enough.
> My nephew is now 20. When he was 5...

So that was 15 years ago when these mortgages were taken out in his name? Placing it between 2007 and 2008.

That's basically right at the inflection point when the housing market had gotten out of control and started crashing down. This was caused because anyone could get a mortgage, regardless of whether they could afford it or who they were. The banks were accused of doing zero due diligence. In some cases no income verification, no identity verification, no job verification, etc.. You could take a mortgage out in your dogs name, and also apparently a 5 year old's name too.

I like to think that the system is better now, but that's probably a fantasy.
Maybe it will force missile-gap thinking to get Western firms to compete directly. I could see Western governments dangling big contracts or research grants to firms like ST and Microchip, just to make sure they have a RISC-V product line that crowds THead or WCH parts out of the market.

If they ruined their legitimacy by getting caught lying, they are an opinion outlet not a news outlet. So ask yourself two simple questions. "Did this outlet call the BLM riots 'Peaceful Protests?" and "Did this outlet assure the public that vaccines were safe?" if you answered yes to either of those questions than your source is fake news, no better than taking what some youtube commenter is saying as fact.
The one issue I’ve found is that most services seem to retain _much_ less precision for participant video versus screen sharing. Text can often become really blocky and blurry.

I did something similar, but used OBS. There are a few ways to feed video from a cell phone into it. Gives you the chance to do any zooming/cropping/etc to account for limitations in where you can place the phone. As well as adjust brightness/contrast/white balance if you’re really anal about that kind of stuff.

From there I open the feed in a “projector” window and screen share that.
Thank you for sharing your story with us.
> Convincing people that liberalism still works basically only means pointing them to how the world factually really looks.

You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time.

As just one example: "works", as in "liberalism works", is not a true/false binary, and there's little genuine reason to think our current designs are anywhere near optimal on an absolute scale.

Convincing people something is true can often be done simply by using language skilfully.

I agree with the argument about reducing lines of code. Whenever I write code, I spend quite a bit of time thinking about different ways of implementing it before I start coding and the most important characteristic I look for in a solution is succinctness.

Correct code is easy to read because it's close to its theoretical minimum size. It reminds me of the quote "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
