Now, that's a different matter—the post I was replying to posited that they were stably profitable (and I have no outside information either way).

If what you say is the case, then this is still a dumb move, because it's still acting as if the choices existing Unity developers have are "pay Unity whatever they want, or get out of the business", but it's at least not quite as directly related to Wall Street brainrot.
Thanks for the link. I came across this, but other devs complained that isn't production ready (yet).

Still, I am extremely grateful for all the work Ryan is putting into projects like this.
It's very much like a more primitive javascript. You can do things, but there is no (ubiquitous) package manager. It's a scripting language.
You can AirDrop data pretty fast to a Mac, but I don’t think I’ve ever done that, Apple Photos sync reasonably fast over a 5G connection. Downloading video from my phone to a computer is not anymore a thing that I do, it just happens.

We don’t understand heavier-than-air flight
I'm not arguing with an estimate.

My argument is simply to refute the claim that "people don't buy EVs as often"... Which is based on estimates and and gut feeling, not exactly backed by any statistics at this point.

Right now - we know for a fact that ICE vehicles can run for decades, we have only very limited data on Li-ion road use EVs. And even then, we will only have only a decade of a smaller number of older generation battery pack EVs.

There are plenty of decades old EVs that are specialized, but they aren't anywhere close to what a Tesla is. We can't compare electric golf carts and Tesla Model 3.
Somehow, none of the news outlets cared to ask if the Pentagon is ok with enabling Starlink coverage over Crimea, and Starlink terminals strapped on drones to bomb the Russia sea fleet.

This is probably an intentional move by Unity. Low revenue per install is typically a sign of adware/malware or trashy fad products ("punch %POLITICIAN% in the face" kind games). It makes sense why they would not want their engine to be associated with such titles.
Or glasses get small enough. Gesture and voice will continue to improve. Apple Vision Pro (and other AR devices) will continue to improve. It's not hard to see a path where today's phone format goes away and/or becomes used only for certain situations.

I read when I feel a desire to move on forward in something really important to me. I do not categorize anything because I am terrible at file storing: I have not enough computers, my HDDs are too small for my needs and they are almost never plugged in, because of too few SATA ports on my machines; also software just sucks.

But I have discovered a really working way of using kind of external device for learning goals - I have a student who desires to learn anything I know on programming, he is probably a best way possible to refresh and debug my knowledge.
This makes me very optimistic about Godot: lots of people will leave Unity because of this (even if they're not directly affected), and Godot is in a good enough place right now that most projects can be ported over without too many problems.

Eventually your challenge (assuming you win) will have any negatives removed from your FICO score, but it may remain for a time while the challenge is in process and during that time you don't have the high score. Worse the lower score may mean other changes to your behavior that affect your credit indirectly - if you don't take out a loan you would have for example.
Well if it was for the "cellular EM waves are bad" movement as you put it they would have a problem with most cellular phones and not specifically with the iPhone 12 don't you think?
to be actually honest, I tend to distrust anything that comes out of people who go out of their way to weasel their words like the maintainer of this project.
what I'm saying is that there are very few sources that don't publish lies or have bents, so we have to do with what we have. Use many sources and triangulate. Some sources are more believable in some areas, less believable in other areas. Some contributors are more believable/truthful than others. It's not all on or off.
Yessssss! I thought about MusicGAN and Markov chains last night thinking “Why can’t we just codify all chords and use a GAN to generate markov chains on chords of a key and have AI generate instruments and waveform from those chains?” IANA researcher but in my head, that sounded logical.
The Most Advanced yet Acceptable Products Win
Just like all examples of generative "AI" I've seen, there's always some bit of uncanny valley vibe present. In the audio examples, there's always this weird distortion like a really poorly compression sources were used as training data. The sounds are muddled together, and rarely do I hear clean musical voices. It's just a smear of sounds coming together that our brains try really hard to say "oh, that's a _____" situation. While the samples in the TFA are probably the closest I've heard to date, the issue is still present.

I guess the thing that strikes me so odd about the generative thing is all of the press releases on people presenting things like it's a final product, yet it's clearly pre-release beta at best but more likely alpha versions of code in the results in quality. If a non-AI product released something that was so clearly not finished, it would be panned to no end for not working.

But, 14 Pro has these over the 15:

- ProMotion (120hz)

- Always-On Display

- TelePhoto lens

- 3x zoom

- 3 hours more video playback on battery

- 35 grams more weight
yeah, that's the thing. The AI/ML is something I'd like to play with / learn / experiment on, but it's only tangential to my current paying job at this point in time (I'm basically a freelancer).

"Expense" in my context means that I'll deduce about 50% off of the invoice come taxes time. I'm OK paying $400 of my own money for an AMD card, I'd think twice, but probably accept coughing up $800 for a 4090, but $2k is definitely over the budget at this stage.

The library reminds me a bit of a page I threw together to browse the EmojiOne set:

https://stime.tech/emoji-explorer/index.html

Give it a minute to load the JS, and then you'll get a dialog for each icon/character you click. My favorite part was using XSLT over the original SVG data to generate black and white "coloring sheets". Most of them turned out pretty decent. E.g., https://stime.tech/emoji-explorer/assets/coloring/emoji-snai...
Yeah my plan has always been to call them and demand proof of the debt if it ever appears on my credit, it just hasn't happened yet.
Well, people can be denied jobs for almost every reason (except a couple explicitly listed taboo reasons i.e. protected classes), so if any employer believes that defaulting on your debt correlates with e.g. trustworthiness of a candidate, they are free to use credit rating as (dis)qualifying criteria - no matter if that belief is true or not.

You’ve been conspicuously silent about several questions I haven’t been asking you too.

Yeah, the author has committed to a stance without explaining why or how, beyond kind of provocatively suggesting that it's the only stance intellectually consistent with ruling out family punishment as a policy... as if he didn't outline his stance in several bullet points, and only 1 of those bullet points is sufficient to rule out family punishment.

> How bizarre and ivory-tower.

I agree in general, but knowing that the author is a professor of Economics at George Mason University, I am less surprised.

My perception is that Econ department seems to have a lot of room for unusual ideas within the field and rather a lot of professors who hold forth or publish on topics that overlap to a variable degree with economics-- like how this post addresses questions of punishment and moral philosophy with what appear to be the tools of economics.
In the NE corridor, Amtrak (as bad as it is) is the fastest means of transport from city center to city center. A car is close but just getting into NYC is so slow that Amtrak will win in almost every case.

If for some reason you wanted to go from the DC suburbs of Virginia to Queens a plane might be okay, but realistically planes waste so much time on security and boarding that it’s not worth it.
I don't think I've ever plugged my iPhone in. I've always used Qi charging. Should I still complain?
Isn't that what the second line in the JavaScript snippet does: delete itself while the script is still in use (i.e. running?)

In any case, I am not sure the Unix way is the best API design here. Sure, it does help in these scenarios, but now you can have hidden files lying around in the filesystem being used that I can't easily tell are even there.

Is it not possible to do finetuning on a 24GB 4090? I'm thinking about the best bang for the buck below $2k and the options are 2x3090 or 1x4090.
It's a nice thought, but most distros poop all over FHS anyway.

When was the last time you hopped between distros Ubuntu->OpenSUSE->Fedora and had packages be in the same spot? Because I distro hop a LOT and they almost NEVER are.

Even if it's just /bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local/bin, where is the consistency, not to mention controlling access. Remember when Debian took the sbins out of the path and everybody claimed Debian sucked?

When was the last time you saw /usr mounted as read-only? Because it's supposed to be.

With tech like snaps and flatpaks, containers, NixOS, etc, to call FHS anything more than a suggestion in 2023 is extreme wishful thinking.

Nothing impressive about locking "meeting standards of the previous decade" behind an upsell.

The pro upsell option would be TB3/TB4/USB4 which itself is old tech now - like on the iPad Pro.
Windows without backwards compatibility is a dead end because the only reason why Windows exists is backwards compatibility and the existing user base. As an OS it is decades behind all its competitors, with a 30yo filesystem, file locking ridiculousness (which is why uninstallers and updates end up being so complex and require reboots), an antiquated central registry for settings that ends up slowing the system down over time, and a security framework so broken that you need anti-malware software running and inspecting every little thing happening on your system or you're easily compromised (everything is executable by default).

The security situation is so bad at this point that you can't trust any Windows benchmarks anymore. The benchmark suite will run on a "bare" Windows system; probably with updates and Windows Defender disabled and many other system services stopped to maximize performance and prevent background services from slowing everything down. The reality though is that on a regular user desktop all these things and a whole lot more will be enabled, resulting in vastly degraded performance compared to the benchmarks. The end user experience sucks.

Now they're forcing ads down your throat and pestering you at every turn to use more Microsoft software (e.g. trying to get you to use Edge). They've also recently included UI changes in "essential" system updates that can't easily be reverted or undone, breaking people's workflows. It's anti-user insanity and it's all because Microsoft can't actually go back to the drawing board with Windows anymore because the alternatives are just too good.

After using a Linux desktop full-time for a while, going back to Windows feels like going from having modern plumbing to pooping in the woods.
Agreed, now that I know the question you were answering was about the market as a whole, I see the source of disagreement. We weren't interpreting the GP question the same way.

The question:

> Why are you using a broken toy computer not under your control that effectively acts only to hurt you?

The question to me was about a person's personal motive for choosing iPhone or Google Android, etc, not a macro argument about market demand, but I think it's reasonable that "you" could be interpreted as either micro or macro level
According to the official comparator (https://www.apple.com/iphone/compare/?modelList=iphone-14-pr...)

- macro photo

- night mode portraits

- macro video

- proraw / prores
...but it's not exploitation. Your head is thinking about bad debt, but bad debt is only a tiny fraction of total debt. It certainly makes for excellent highly memorable emotionally charged stories, which is why we are here, but the fact of that matter is that overwhelming majority of debt is paid off and bears actual fruit.

Even debt like student loans, which gets almost universally panned, is still good debt. The ROI on a collage education is ~1000% (amount borrowed/paid off vs. increased lifetime earnings). On paper your are still dumb to not take out student loans to get a degree.

Is this pay more now for a lower interest rate?

To compare it to bonds, imagining I can sell my own bonds: To raise the same amount of money issuing a bond with a 3% coupon now vs. issuing one with a 7% coupon now, I'd have to issue more of the 3% coupon bond.

This seems an obscure bet on perceptions of house prices, house purchase heuristics and mentality, and a lot of imagination. I can imagine why lenders are 'cool to the idea'.

Please correct me if the above understanding's incorrect.
Why would Musk even be in the loop for a military operation taking place in Ukraine?

This is the actual reason why people treat Meduza as parent poster does.

The job of a news source it not to criticize, or not criticize, the annexation of Crimea. They're not a political party. Nobody but their mom really wants to know their private opinion.

The job of a news source is to provide news. All the news and articles Meduza produces follows the same pattern, where they would arrive at a predetermined conclusion regardless of the facts they are discussing, and the train of thought would go from A to B in a reasonably short route. If it's hard to derive the conclusion from some facts, they will be skipping reporting these where possible. If it's very convenient to derive the conclusion for unproven facts, they will be using these eagerly.

Propaganda is annoying to read, especially if you know you will disagree with their conclusion, which you obviously know in advance.
> I don't think the statistics about journey times on public transit anywhere are true.

Journey times everywhere should come with variance data. Often times people will say you can get to Manhattan within x minutes from a certain location, except 1 standard deviation from the mean could be 30min+, and 2 standard deviations might be 60min+.

I dunno about a dongle, but yes that's fundamentally reasonable sounding. I would do it by taking a Raspberry Pi equivalent and setting it up with automatic Ethernet configuration, wireguard for the VPN, and hostapd+dnsmasq for the WiFi. I've never actually done the step of bridging the Wi-Fi access point to a VPN, but I can't imagine that it's terribly hard.

i don't have a strong opinion either way on usb speeds because i don't understand what difference it makes anyway? i don't think there's even a way to access the file system directly. genuine question: who is transferring data to or from an iphone using a lightning cable on current iphones? what kind of data? i've used only iphone since 2015 and the only time since then when i've connected my phone to a computer was when i was playing with jailbreaking iOS 9 and none of that stuff involved transferring significant amounts of data one way or the other.
Well, yes and no, even people who are strongly anti-Russian-regime-oriented told me that they stopped reading Meduza because it's giving info which is extremely one sided and not objective, like it's propaganda but opposite to a Russian-state one
> This is not in line with consequentialist thinking, so there is no logical fallacy.

Ok, but then what's the point of a consequentialist take, if that's so removed from past experiences?

> These are the questions consequentialism wants answered to judge the morality of such a policy.

Correct. The problem/flaw is deep in the roots of consequentialism itself: if you wait only for the outcomes to judge whether something is moral or not, you can only be a spectator, not an actor. You can't act without a principle. If you want to take action, you've got to act after principles, from memory and/or reasoning (or you may act irrationally - but then you may only invoke amorality, which defeats the consequentialist definition as well).
But you can fine tune gpt 3.5 turbo, so your comparison is not clear.
Even without that philosophical angle, local backup is the only way for backup and restore a phone or tablet 1:1 (except Secure Enclave) as some bits are not backed up on iCloud.

They had announced that USB-C would be limited to USB2 speeds over a year ago. I don't know when I've ever felt the need to move data to or from my phone any faster over a wire. Unless backups are for some reason backups are wired, non-incremental and you have a 256+ gig drive filled up, in which case it could take just over an hour.
I’m pretty sure it’s not pocket lint in my case. The loosening happens even on laptops and tablets. The problem is the male part of the connector is inside the device. And it’s quite thin compared to lightning. You move the device around while it’s plugged in and it puts strain on that thin male part of the connector. Next thing you know, the cable visibly can wiggle up and down when plugged in.
Yeah, the last couple of years were really eye-opening for credulous idiots like myself.

Having music editable for human post production is necessary for most professional adoption. Generating MIDIs would make much more sense than generating raw audio.

This is what we do with AI images: you can fix them in Photoshop, etc. You cannot do this for raw audio due to how music is produced.
Artifact’s new Links feature makes it much more than a news app
It’s annoying but pretty clearly about differentiating the Pro model, at least at first. This has been Apple’s strategy at least since the XS/XR: the high end model gets a better camera and higher performance SoC to entice consumers who want the best as well as the actual professional users. And recently they’ve apparently moved to having the base iPhone lag a year on the chip. USB3 requires a specific chip so the Pro gets it first. The question is, does the base iPhone get USB3 with the A17 series SoC next year, or does it join the camera as something to differentiate the Pro series? It would make sense to keep it in the pro model since fast USB transfers is something few consumers care about but pros care a lot about.
I just airdrop all my photos/videos/notes to local storage and upload encrypted bundles to backblaze so I guess to answer the GPs question the port doesn’t make much difference to me. I do make local backups but skip the photos/videos because I dislike the large single photo library bundle file it generates that has become corrupted more than once so it hasn’t taken all that long.

Thats how it is for every job though the seller make more money the close they are to the end user. The baker makes more for his bread than the millar makes for his flour but he makes more than the farmer does for his grain. Each step adds value and makes a larger share.

> This is wrong though.

Nothing's wrong there and you're just playing with semantics to not admit your misunderstanding. All hubs have an in-band control interface available that can be used by them to implement port power control, period.

> The Github link is about how to control a USB hub via I2C.

No, it points to a hardware design for a very specific hub that implemented its port power control via I2C. Usually hubs don't have any I2C interface at all as they don't need one, regardless of whether they do port control or not.
