There's a lot of this that I agree with wholeheartedly and aggressively. One of the worst modern impulses is techno-pessimism in my opinion, but some of it is somewhere between strange and frankly downright stupid.

Take the "patron saints of techno-optimism". It includes "BasedBeffJezos", a pseudonymous Twitter account that subscribes to NRx ideology, and Nick Land, the progenitor of elitist, bigoted NRx ideology. How exactly do these deserve to be on the same list as great Americans like John Von Neumann? Likewise Thomas Sowell, Mises, the fictional John Galt?

This isn't a serious manifesto, and I say this as someone that would love to see techno-optimism pushed further into the forefront of politics and culture. This is Twitter inside-baseball, not designed to convince anyone that isn't already following a smattering of e/acc accounts that spend 1/3 of their time posting racist memes.

Vector instruction sets expose too much about the size of the CPU.

I don't think it's an FU to them. You can get a much better rate than 4.15% right now, which means they are just using your money to buy those things to the maximum extent possible. Shop around.

If you don't want to deal with some random bank and their crazy password requirements, you can probably buy CDs through your ordinary brokerage account.

Finally, if you want to FU a bank, depositing your money there isn't the best way to do that. Start spreading rumors that Apple Card savings is about to be insolvent and get everyone to withdraw their money. That they hate. Ask Silicon Valley Bank.

> But it certainly reads like a "legal agreement" to me
> I'm not sure what difference that actually makes

Funny that. Almost as if by including a lot of "legal sounding words", normal people instinctively defer and back away because they don't understand it. Which is entirely intentional to make you think the rules go one way, when they in fact do not.
Apple most likely has a pre-OS firmware that pings a local update server and downloads/flashes the OS when an image is available. That way they don't have a ton of iPhones hanging out on the line waiting for GM.

I'm not sure how they would test for update failures in that situation. I suppose they could have a LOM or something that validates the software is installed, reports back to the mothership, then deletes itself. That would imply that it's part of Apple's secure chain.
> I would only like this "feature" if I explicitly opt-in by clicking an "email me if this product goes on sale" button.

Yes, this is how it works (which the article doesn't make especially clear). You add something to your 'steam wishlist' and steam e-mails you next time it goes on sale. As far as I'm aware, the wishlist has no other function.

Of course, part of the reason this works is that a lot of sales are like 70% off - you'll get e-mailed when that $25 game on your wishlist is available for $7.50. There would be much less benefit to the consumer if they insisted on e-mailing me to tell me that $25 game had been discounted to $23.
It is really nice once you give up trying to min/max rewards.

And some of the issues are kind of self inflicted - the "always monthly on the nose" isn't a feature I really need, and I would actually prefer to offset that by a few days, so if they offered that as a feature I'd take advantage of it.
but it also means that Apple is the new Goldman

In theory, we napalm and some F-16s laying around somewhere. It would be a very American solution to the problem. Doubly so if we avoid doing controlled burns in our territory.
What exactly is "garbage" about this? It's so tiring how systemd opponents insist on name-calling instead of substantiated criticism.

There is no reason every single application should manage network socket acquisition on its own - I'm not very fond of the times everyone and their mother wrote whacky shell scripts to start and stop their services, either. But somehow those seem to be the "good old times" you guys miss.

It's certainly adequate for the work I'm doing - which involves developing on/for linux, so I'm logging in to the development systems remotely. So locally I'm running things like a browser, IM, MS Outlook.

I'm looking forward to Snapdragon X, there's definitely occasions where it feels like I could use some more local perfomance.

One of the irritating things is that there's no native Chrome release for Windows-on-ARM. MS suggests that we use Edge but I'm quite comfortable with Chrome. So I use Chromium instead and it's great except it seems to be missing some DRM magic or something and therefore anything like gif files or webp and most videos on most websites can't be played back. However youtube does seem to be clever enough to see the browser's limitations and transcode/filter the content to something acceptable to Chromium. If I want to see those videos I switch to Edge.

> It believes that volatile storage is uniform in terms of latency and throughput.

It doesn't, I don't think it even mentions terms like latency and throughput.

Such as?

> It has no concept of parallelism.

C can function with instruction-level parallelism, CPU-level parallelism, process/thread-level parallelism just fine.

> C "imagines" a computer to have a CPU with a single core running a single thread, and that's where program is executed.

Given that a memory model was introduced in C11, and that there were other significant highly concurrent codebases before that, I'm having doubts how correct and/or meaningful that statement is.

For sure, when trying to understand the possible outcomes of running a piece of code is when running it in a single thread (doesn't matter on how many CPUs though, apart from performance). That is just the nature of multi-threading, it's hard to understand.

> This notion pushes hardware designers towards pretension that computers are single-threaded.

How do they pretend so? My computer is currently running thousands of threads just fine. It has a huge number of components, from memory to CPU to controllers to buses to I/O devices, that are executing in parallel.

I use Google Workspace and I'm pretty satisfied with it, it's on the pricier side at €6.50/user (for me, including VAT) but I'm the only user and I like the benefit of having all the google services.
Yes, but that’s not related in any way to using a private service without paying for it. You have that now and if YouTube shut down tomorrow you’d still have it.

Sure, it’s not a software emulator, but it’s still an emulator. And Analogue’s use of “No Emulation” is dishonest: it implies that it’s somehow inherently better than a software emulator, which it isn’t. E.g. you can have an inaccurate FPGA-based emulator, and a highly accurate software-based emulator.

Spending habits are mitigated by inflation though. For example, I buy significantly less beef than I did five years ago because it is now too expensive. Putting less weight on beef prices because of the reduction in consumption would indicate that inflation is less than it actually is.
Yeah, and GS is the perfectly wrong bank for them to buy as it's really just an investment bank.

But all this muttering sounds like we're going to see GS buy a tiny bank, saddle it with the consumer business (e.g, Apple Card and savings) and then sell that bank to Apple.

I wonder if "owns an Apple device" is enough to count as a group for a credit union ... :D
> It only does so for debug mode. In release mode, it uses modular arithmetic.

So it's still treated as an error, just one that has a predictable fallback. I'm really not sure how that's much different from `-fsanitize=undefined`. Broken code is broken, even if it breaks in a predictable manner.

Now if the modular arithmetic had been enshrined as the expected behavior without being treated like an error to be caught, it'd be another matter.

3D is one area where the FPGA model of emulation doesn't seem so good. The N64 is pretty low-resolution and low-FPS compared to modern devices, which is grating in 3D even though it has a nostalgic charm in 2D.

Maybe it's enough to be able to buy a "new" N64 for some, but I'm skeptical it will be able to overcome the N64's flaws.
I wonder if a GPT powered SO would be helpful to cut down on newbie questions. I've found a lot of success ingesting an internal FAQ/documentation and wrapping it up in a little chatbot. Then asking the bot questions about it. It works better than control-f or some sort of fuzzy searching, and allows you to ask more general questions but still get specific answers. If the bot doesn't know then you can safely assume the question hasn't been asked, or the question is different enough to warrant asking it on SO

Almost total absence of GUIs and proper documentation. A big part of why people pay for AWS and friends is not instant scalability or even the fancy features, but simply because clouds wrap a half-way decent GUI around high level server oriented tasks combined with an actual task focused user guide.

To compare, try comparing the docs and GUI help you get deploying a simple serverless app to Lambda+RDS vs configuring a Linux box with systemd, apache/nginx, SSL termination, postgres, borgbackup or whatever other stack you want to use. The difference is night and day. The systemd docs alone are classic Linux BS culture. UNIX sysadmin is complicated in very fundamental and deep ways for people who don't have a gray beard. I know how to do it but I don't enjoy it, and I had to recently teach a friend of mine how to do basic tasks. He's a pro software dev with years of experience incl at Google but sysadmin was never something he needed to do. Luckily now ChatGPT can help a lot with the missing usability.

No. NTLM is an ancient protocol that dates back to Windows NT 3.1 in 1993. That's thirty years ago.

This is kind of hilarious since a lot of places where I've used Atlassian products seem to have more or less hated them but still put up with them for the sole reason that they are on-prem, and the competition available for the entire "suite" or whatever is pretty sparse. I'd be curious to see what kind of market share is estimated to be "on-prem, won't switch" because it sure isn't zero.

> Can I use AI to get on the global leaderboard? Please don't use AI / LLMs (like GPT) to automatically solve a day's puzzles until that day's global leaderboards are full. By "automatically", I mean using AI to do most or all of the puzzle solving, like handing the puzzle text directly to an LLM. The leaderboards are for human competitors; if you want to compare the speed of your AI solver with others, please do so elsewhere. (If you want to use AI to help you solve puzzles, I can't really stop you, but I feel like it's harder to get better at programming if you ask an AI to do the programming for you.)

I think VPNs for general use are just increasingly popular as many people have privacy concerns, many governments are interested in or actively regulating internet speech, getting around geoblocking and copyright restrictions, etc. (not to mention, very aggressive advertising by commercial VPN providers). Remote working has probably increased use as well.
Knowing that the account will be handed off to another unknown party once Goldman ends the contract is definitely not a selling point.
The UI and the repayment scheme for that cards' promotions and servicing is ridiculously confusing. I ended up in arrears due to Goldmans shitty servicing methods and had no idea how until I contacted customer service. I had been making larger than required payments and could not fathom why my card was being disabled.

These guys should have brought people in who know what they are doing. Instead it looks like they clumsily let Apple dictate some requirements and were not able to guide product development properly due to their own inexperience.

Blind leading the blind.

I have familiarity with another payment product Apple launched with another shaky partner. The problems there were mostly technical though, since the company had vast servicing experience and could competently guide that part of product development.

Apple really should create a consumer Fintech division that can do implementation. They might be steering clear of that due to the GE case study. They don't need to be or own a bank but their presence and size would likely be an outsized portion of the business in most banks that would take them on as a partner.

Setting up a bank and running a consumer facing product (Fintech) are two different projects altogether. Two different modules, if you will.

I also witnessed MasterCard falter when entering a consumer market they had not played in before. Very ugly.

I think Apple keeps approaching perceived industry leaders and keeps getting bad advice. A better choice might be to recruit talent from smaller Fintechs where the people are intimate with the real world challenges and turn them loose.

Funny that you compare recommendation algorithms to a human being who knows you well. My purely anecdotal feeling is that today, recommending media (let alone a book, as fewer people today read) to a friend or relative is viewed as less appropriate than in the past. When people are facing a glut of content, and are well empowered to find on their own content that would appeal to them, someone saying “You really ought to check this out, I think you’d like it!” might be just as bothersome as friends or relatives trying to evangelize their religion or draft you into their MLM scheme.
No need to wonder, here are some benchmarks: https://www.phoronix.com/review/bsd-linux-eo2021

OpenBSD fares far worse in performance than Linux and its BSD cousins because they actively avoid supporting CPU, memory, and other features that increase performance via some shared resource because these are often vectors for information leakage and attack.

Everyone else has taken the approach of utilizing these features and getting the performance, but mitigating attacks (or class of attacks) as they are are discovered. Which is not a worse approach per se, especially if your project places a higher value on raw performance (or performance per dollar spent) and you can strengthen security at other layers.

Brain Drain, it's a real phenomena that has real economic impact on a surrounding locality, local economy, and state economies.

Brain Drain affects companies as well, but by the time they notice Brain Drain has occurred, it's too late to rectify.

Depends on what you mean by "portable assembler". It is exactly that in a lot of ways, but exactly not that in others.

I think it's more useful to say that C is a portable assembler, than it is to say that it isn't, considering how it's used in practice and the sort of nasty things C compilers do in order to make that possible.

In typical server applications you can use signalfd to handle signals like receiving data from a client instead of polling. I think on older versions of Linux you could use a trick where you write a single byte to a pipe in the signal handler to achieve a similar effect.
