> I could tell you as a pretty ironclad matter of fact that they don't advocate for anything like you're claiming. In my state they're advocating for things like incentives and rebates to install heat pumps and solar panels, as well as regulations that help utilities more effectively accommodate renewable energy. Stuff like that.

Sorry, but what are we talking about? You cannot make even a tiny dent in climate change with rebate programs for solar panels. Yes, it's going to help at the margins, but it's the kind of small-fry change that doesn't change anything in any meaningful way.

This thread is about preventing 1.5C warming. According to climate scientists, we have ~250Gt left in our carbon budget before we lock-in that 1.5C warming. There are all manner of media stories beating people over the head over this.

You can ban all cars, all trucks, all electricity, all global aviation, do it tomorrow, and you've only delayed things by a few years.
Honestly, I hate the notion of downvotes but this response is mighty tempting. You haven't answered the question in the way you think you have.

The post that you're responding to doesn't make any claim about the law; it expresses that the defense that an AI company might be "unable to comply" with a command to remove user data is not an honest one.
We're talking about big tech employees. So you are saying they study computer science, spend decades studying machine learning, but they get night terrors based on what a English literature major who had never used a computer in his life banged out on a typewriter in the 1980s?

You use advanced mathematics to create LLM's and keep up with the latest published research but when you consider the risks of these models it's "the CGI in that Hollywood movie makes a very compelling argument?" Probably missing the point that the Hollywood movie robot baddie is probably a metaphor for communism or just a twist on slasher baddies, or whatever?

Apple hasn’t had any plastic devices for some time now.
That exists for a reason, and it's not nefarious at all.

Lot of people, especially of the older generation, forward all sorts of emails to their friends and family every day. If one person who received a forwarded email doesn't like it and clicks the unsubscribe link, the original recipient (who clearly likes the email enough to forward it around) gets unsubscribed. That's a bug. If you don't like the unfunny newsletter your uncle keeps forwarding you, that's a problem between you and your uncle, not between your uncle and his newsletter!

The email submission form exists to ensure that the person unsubscribing is the person who is actually on the mailing list. It will not prevent an annoyed nephew from deliberately unsubscribing the original recipient, but it will prevent most cases of mistake by third parties.

Similarly, many unsubscribe links require two clicks instead of one, because some email services used to automatically check out every link they found in the body of an email. A one-click link would unsubscribe everyone before they even saw the email. Nowadays we have better protocols and better email scanners, but old industry habits die hard.

Not so long ago we learned Google's toggle to turn off your history turned off your ability to see your history, not Google's collection of it, so you're right to be skeptical:

That document goes on to state: "Contrary to Mr Pichai's Congressional testimony, the founder of Google's Privacy and Data Protection Office testified in this case that he is 'not aware of any setting' that users can employ to prevent Google from collecting data related to their app activity."

Much of the issue, allegedly, is that WAA, rather than saving data when on and not saving it when off, simply saves data in a different place – not in the Google Account data set. Addressing the confusion about the bounds of Google Accounts, Hochman said, "So I'm aware that Google may save data in different locations, depending on where that WAA/sWAA switch is set. It is still collecting the same data and still saving it, but it may save it in different places."

Bond funds generate higher risk-adjusted returns than cash over most historical periods. You have to factor in income from coupon payments. You can cherry pick a few brief periods when this wasn't true but no one has the ability to reliably predict when that will happen in the future so it's a foolish approach to retirement planning. Most target date mutual funds do include some cash and equivalents in the portfolio as the target date approaches.
There are a lot of things people don’t need on average. But when you do need it, or you have a particular use case, well, then you need it.

These comparisons are always based on raw performance numbers or price. Which isn’t useful.
"flagrant violation of the law" heavily implies that OP has some strong feelings around this, and I want to know what law they think is potentially being flagrantly violated.
I really, really wish they would fix this silly display scan-out limitation. I gave them a (frustrating) pass on the M1 given it was the first evolution from iPhone/iPad where it wouldn't have mattered. But seems silly to have made it all the way to the M3. Wanting to dock onto two displays even at the low end doesn't seem like such a niche use-case.

I'm sure there is some kind of technical explanation but both Intel and NVIDIA seemed to managed 3+ scanouts even on low end parts for a long time.
It doesn't have to be "heavy": just running a browser in a different OS may need a minimal amount of RAM (even if the 1-2 assigned vCPU/cores are mostly idle).

Scroll down to "Power and Battery", about halfway down the page.
E cores are ~30% faster and P about 15%. So the question would be how much the Es assist when Ps are maxed on each chip. In any other situation, more/better E cores should outperform and extend battery. I’m not saying that means you should want to spend the money.
I didn't care much about the battery life but not having to be tethered to the nearest wall wart is unexpectedly convenient even when working from home. I also appreciate the laptop not being a hot air blower.
I just hope they stop selling 8GB variants entirely. All those do is make job security for tech support people.
I think what you describe is the ambition of every oncall team. But even when this works really well, so the calls are few and far between, just being scheduled to work oncall means you're more limited in what you can do. You've got to be reachable by phone. You have to be within a few minutes of accessing a computer with good networking. There'll be no road trip drives or flights to see the in-laws while you're the one on oncall duty.
Do you think people prefer to avoid just being on oncall duty over big holidays, even if there aren't many calls? Perhaps that preference only shows up in a small portion of oncall teams.

Could be, but I'd like to hear more information about what it actually entails.

My gut feeling is that it's kind of like Z compression, but using the high amount of privileged software (basically a whole RTOS) they run on the GPU to dynamically allocate pages so that scare quotes "vram" allocations don't require giant arenas.

If that's the case, I'm not sure that ML will benefit. Most ML models are pretty good about actually touching everything they allocate, in which case, lazy allocations won't help you much and may actually get in the way startup latency.
You can always turn on low power mode. I do this for extra long days.
> This is a fantasy. It seems very likely to me that, sans regulation, the market utopia you describe will never appear.

I strongly disagree. I heard the same arguments about how Google needs regulation because nobody could possibly compete. A few years later we have DDG, Brave Search, Searx, etc.
And still starting at 8GB of RAM… Disappointed.
Most java only apps will Just Work as you just add another compiler option.
Failing to actively say "no" is not the same thing as saying "yes". If your point is that the law means nothing unless someone is willing to file lawsuits, your point is taken.
Yes, except here I meant that people are being taken advantage of too. Perhaps a better way of putting this is: they found a way to take an important and good principle, and use it against the very people it should be benefiting.

Individually, all trades seem to be fair, even advantageous to the seller. However, taken together, they end up screwing the sellers and everyone around them, while massively benefiting the buyer.

And the insidious part is, there is no single transaction you can point at to tell the seller they're doing the Wrong Thing. Individually, they're all exemplary cases of benefits from voluntary trade. It's only when you group a bunch of them together, that things suddenly go south.
In the same way that Nvidia is going with it's 'founders edition', slowly squeeze out 'partner's.
Some of the time it’s because the rules can’t be said.

“I want you to do this thing which is illegal to knowingly do but if I don’t explicitly say it then it’s permissible”

I don't think it has affected xim or cronus at all. They use official first party Xbox controllers to handle authentication, and MITM them to inject inputs.

Instead the big one affected has been Brooks, who make very popular boards for custom fighting game controllers.

You're right to be skeptical of companies that "believe in an ad supported Internet".

Why would you assume that I assume a tabula rasa person assumes that consciousness ceases to continue with on death? I assume that they wouldn’t know what happens and have some baseline level of feelings about death.
You could also say that open source has basically no (direct) effect on end users, because the majority of end users are not coders, and even those that are rarely look at the code of the apps they use.

The indirect effects are the point.
The iPhone chip was seriously competitive with laptops 2-3 years before the M1, it's just that due to the software environment few people noticed what was going on.

The real question is why Apple left it so long. They clearly wanted the first generation to be a clear success, but they could have probably pulled this off faster had they wanted to.
> What are the first amendment issues? Attribution clearly can be required for some forms of speech, it's why every political ad on TV carries an attribution blurb.

I'm not sure this is the best comparison. The government can regulate the speech of government employees. Presumably it can do so for candidates working in capacity to get a government role.
I wouldn’t worry too much about it. With more and more investors having the opportunity to get 5% almost risk free from US treasuries, PE will slowly fade back. The roll up strategy of medical clinics is especially risky now that many of these are trading at 11% interest rates. When ebitda margins are usually 30% when perfect, it doesn’t give you a lot of breathing room.

I've been looking into Mauritius as well. My gut feel told me it's kinda a "sleepy island" rather than a bustling destination for expats.

> It's not like they're tying one good to another, or leveraging market power in one to gain market power in the other.

That's absolutely what's happening!

> So if we want to say that you can't run a company that makes consumer electronic devices and a movie studio (see also, Sony, Amazon), then what's the limit?

There are a lot of possible litmus tests for this.

Is the company using the new market to put eyeballs on its existing product offering, making itself stronger at the expense of players in the new market (Amazon Prime Movies, Apple TV)?

Is the company undercutting the costs of existing incumbents by offering products and services below cost (Apple TV)?

Is the company hiring away talent from the other market or building exclusive partnerships (Apple Automotive)?

Do consumer choices get made due to benefits of bundling with an unrelated market segment (Amazon Prime)?

Does it help the company streamline delivery of their platform into the new market and collect taxes or information in a new way (Apple and Google Pay)?
Regarding updating the lineup, I would guess that it is completely intentional to keep the carrot just out of reach across the lineup. Each new chip release rotates the product categories in just the right way to keep the consumers consuming.

> What the hell? Preventing prison rape is 100% the responsibility of the guards, and absolutely, emphatically, 0% the responsibility of the inmates.

Some of what's described in the video is more like grooming/pressure-tactics, as opposed to outwardly-visible violence.

I wouldn't expect guards to be the front-line that subset. Psychologists, maybe.
You mean the same Gmail that is responsible for >50% of all spam to other providers? They may be good at filtering mail from other providers to Gmail accounts, but they are lousy when it comes to the other direction i.e., mail out of Gmail to other providers. Unless they're prepared to block their own users from sending spam to other providers (or even other Gmail users) this initiative won't be of much use.

>the personal, as everyone’s so fucking fond of saying, is political. So if some idiot politician, some power player, tries to execute policies that harm you or those you care about, take it personally. Get angry. The Machinery of Justice will not serve you here – it is slow and cold, and it is theirs, hardware and soft-. Only the little people suffer at the hands of Justice; the creatures of power slide from under it with a wink and a grin. If you want justice, you will have to claw it from them. Make it personal. Do as much damage as you can. Get your message across. That way, you stand a better chance of being taken seriously next time. Of being considered dangerous. And make no mistake about this: being taken seriously, being considered dangerous marks the difference - the only difference in their eyes - between players and little people. Players they will make deals with. Little people they liquidate. And time and again they cream your liquidation, your displacement, your torture and brutal execution with the ultimate insult that it’s just business, it’s politics, it’s the way of the world, it’s a tough life and that it’s nothing personal. Well, fuck them. Make it personal.

NOTE: "Make it personal" but this is business not war. Kinda feel I need to clarify that last line.
Many people think they are sustainable. What fuels do you think are sustainable?
Functionally its the same stuff.

Both have boxes of stuff and the stuff talks to other stuff.

Logistically its a bit easier to scale the one where the boxes are married to closer to the hardware abstraction (microservices on instances) versus the one where boxes are married to the software abstraction (threads with memory), for the same reason one (monolith) is a lot faster (dev/process/latency) (at small scales) than the other (microservice).

You can scale both, really its mostly about fights about the tooling, process, and where your sec-ops decided to screw you over the most (did they lock down your environments or did they make it impossible to debug ports/get logs).

Practically, AWS is expensive, and they're bloated. Cluster environments that let you merge 1000 computers into 1 big supercomputer and have 1 million cores/terabytes of ram, come with different technical challenges that not as many people know how to overcome, or expensive hardware bills.

So I'd say if someone tells you it "has to be" one or the other they are blowing smoke. Micro-services were recently the hip-new-thing so it makes sense some really really bad nonsense has been written in them so people are rediscovering monoliths (and realizing the microservice people were snake-oil salesmen). In 10 years we'll realize again that some monoliths are really badly written and some people without a clue will re-write them as microservices...
Your disagreement is meaningless because it's not grounded in any real understanding of US Constitutional law and you clearly haven't thought things through. What is generative AI? Please provide a strict legal definition which complies with the vagueness doctrine. Is an if/then statement with a random number generator generative AI? How about the ELIZA AI psychology program from 1964? And you'll also have to explain how your proposal squares with centuries of Supreme Court decisions on compelled speech.
With the right hardware combinations, the only break you'd theoretically have in the System/MacOS/macOS history from 1984's System 1 to 2023's macOS Sonoma 14.1 is from MacOS 9 to MacOS X 10.0. OS X was actually a completely new operating system and oftentimes you had both OSes side-by-side on the same disk to either dual boot or to run OS 9 stuff in Classic mode under OS X.

(With full disk encryption, T2 chips and other various low-level hardware changes this might not actually be feasible under Apple Silicon chips, but at least through the Intel days you could have upgraded a system with hardware changes in the same way.)
