Google has truly tarnished their brand for some people. I don’t trust them at this point and am moving off their services periodically. Several products I’ve used, Google created or Google bought, were shut down unexpectedly and now I expect anything they touch to burn.
On Android, you can open the app switcher, and there you can select text via OCR.
Technofeudalism is super catchy but is poorly differentiated from Capitalism proper.

It seems the geist is about the monopolistic abusesses of large tech companies, which reminds us back to the Gilded Age's trusts. Both then and now are products and manifestation of the same Capitalism.
I remember back in the day Howtogeek used to be a small site ran by a guy who wrote his own How-to tutorials because he was frustrated with the ones out there.

My guess is he probably sold the site at some point
There's nothing quite as fast as keyboard navigating a text input screen, tab key going from field to field. Learning the order that the tab key takes you through the screen. Pure muscle memory, flow from entering information. Web pages have different navigation paths, or none at all, for each web page. That's one big thing that's lost.
> Apple as Monopoly argument

> competition is what's supposed to protect us from rentier nobility

Google and Apple won smartphones, and now they get to tax everyone forever. Innovation in that space is dead, as both companies leech off of their earlier success.

That's so fucked.

An enormous amount of innovation capital is going straight into Apple and Google's pockets for what amounts to a distribution racket.

For so many things, you have to do mobile. Web apps are truly second class citizens, and most people do computing on smartphones instead of laptops and desktops.

So you adopt the app distribution model: then you're faced with the App Store and and all its toxic warts. Paid ad placement against your trademark. Draconian rules. Forced tech upgrade cycles. Inability to deploy on your own company's cadence. Break the rules, and you're out. No runtimes, fat taxes, no customer relationship.

Tech didn't used to be this authoritarian. We had a twenty year period of nearly unfettered freedom.

Apple and Google can't be both the hardware and the software of phones. That's wholly unfair to every other class of business.

We need four or more options for phones. Not two. And they shouldn't be able to unilaterally act as gods to block your access to millions of Americans. These aren't gaming consoles.
That's quite a destructive action by Google.
> I feel I'm being trolled

Fair, but I definitely wasn't trolling, and I really appreciate your comment. 2 days ago I told myself I'd set up gitea actions after experimenting with drone, buildbot, earthly, and Jenkins and not being fully satisfied with any (Jenkins feels old and runners were annoying to set up, buildbot was too involved and didnt have a ui, and I couldn't find an execution environment for earthly to run in on git push).

Personally, I put more weight in real-world complaints than issue trackers. For example, everyone I know that uses OBS has never had a single complaint, yet there are 400 open issues. I was looking for an example of what real users run into and I just couldn't find that looking at the 11-month old hn article or reddit. Based on your comment, I will keep that in mind and bail at the first sign of frustrating behavior.

I guess I'll give my opinion here for anyone who's looking for CI or CD. Earthly is a really cool CI tool, but as far as I know, it doesn't have an actual run component. Think of it like make for the docker era, and it does that very well. Drone is cool, but it runs in docker, so trying to build docker images with earthly (also runs in docker) is a pain unless you mount your docker sock, which I don't want to do. Jenkins is the most functional and handles all use cases. There's a reason it's still so huge in the self-hosted world.
I can't really tell what conclusion OP's trying to get to, but I think it's that the price/perf of his (already purchased, devaluing) 7402 CPUs are still holding strong against newer EPYC chips, thus it doesn't make sense for his use case to upgrade to a newer platform, especially since it requires buying a whole new motherboard as well.
>Eh, I mean it's hard to say if there's any correlation between bad movies and progressive movies.

>but there are also people who can't enjoy great movies if they can find any progressive meaning in them and make a career about ranting about it.

the problem is that being 'progressive', whatever that means today, shouldn't come before making a good movie when the goal is.. to make a movie.

No one would have cared about any of Kubrick's social messages if they hadn't been wrapped in spectacular cinema.

the 'life and times' are inexorably twisted into the cinema, but some people want to just sit back and watch robots shooting lasers at each other without being reminded constantly that the world is an unjust and uncivilized place outside of the silver-screen.

I think that there is a general fatigue among spectators in the cinemasphere for the burden -- which isn't to say that 'crusading in popular media' isn't an important concept, but rather to say that a fatigued audience will be less likely to lend an ear.
This is really good information, thank you.
oh yes preference for a diamond ring is definitely a dealbreaker
Thanks for following up, I've had ideas for something in the same light, but need to be careful not going bankrupt!

Samsung and apple make most of their money from selling hardware. Google makes most of its money from selling advertising. In fact, google makes more money from youtube ads than from all its hardware combined. That changes the motivation of how hard each company is willing to try to sell you hardware. Ironically google should really be trying harder because they need to diversify from the ads game.
Here is another perspective:

I have been making money through bug bounties for the past 5 years (I'm a researcher on the major bug bounty sites and multiple private ones).

More times than I can count, I have found major, non-low effort bugs, and the company will spend time deflecting, and I just won't end up getting paid. Luckily, this is less than 10% of the valid bugs I've found. I've learned to just move on after a certain point.

This behavior from these companies nearly made me quit 2 years ago. I was so frustrated that I completely stopped for 6 months.

I found 50 bugs in a week for one major company and they spend 2 months trying to tell me that they don't own the site anymore, and weren't going to pay me. It was in scope at the time I found the bugs. These weren't just minor bugs either. It allowed me to break into all private rooms on the service in multiple ways, get access to back-end network settings, and even takeover accounts.

I pushed back and they were in violation of their SLA. I got a nice payout a few weeks later.

No, there has to be a secondary market somewhere because professional diamond theft is a thing. So they have to be able to fence the diamonds somewhere. And this isn't a small time thing, either; there have been a few diamond heists in the past couple of decades in the tens of millions of dollars/pounds/euros each, involving serious professional criminals.
Done is not always "better than perfect". A bridge that is done isn't better if it collapses due to poor engineering and kills people.

All software is not life or death. But software can be something people come to rely on.

If I choose (unknowingly) to rely on software not done well and it bites me, I personally would rather not have relied on it at all.
No it's not. This does nothing to minimize the size of the models which inference on being run on. It's cool for edge applications, kind of. And Rust is already a go to tool for edge.
They literally paying to go to the clink. Nothing that a marriage license permits you to do that you can’t do without one. Except you can be liable to get sued when the relationship ends. Literally the only differentiator of significance.
We need a little more institutional oversight for the benefit of everyone else. But it seems government is in the clutches of big tech and special interest groups with big money. So I wont hold my breath on that.
Feel like recording intimate moments like that should just about be a crime at this point. Sick of every dicknose with an iPhone trying to "remember" a group dinner
Diamond and gold are far from useless. Quite the contrary, they're way both too expensive to use in applications where they'd be ideal.

Copper is used as cheap gold

Mica is used as cheap diamond.
Didn't downvote, but online forums are rarely a good place for relationship advice.

In particular, if you're marrying someone, getting a grip on what she might appreciate for years is a good first step, especially as the premise is the discussion has already been started in the couple and she voices her own opinions.

How it goes down from there is probably a microcosm of how they'll deal with their future decisions.
> uh, yes, he does.

I clarify, I meant in the linked article; not an interview from years ago.
ML has extremely predictable and heavily optimized routines. Languages that can target hardware ISA all tend to have comparable perf and there’s no reason to think Rust would offer much.

It's been a rough couple years as a Fitbit user; ever since the acquisition, Google's been slowly but surely shuttering the service piece by piece, and pretty much everyone can see that Google's only interested in pushing their own devices.

What a waste.
The same could be said for any bit of courtroom procedure. Why forbid a prosecutor from making an illegal inference, or entering illegal evidence, when you can just instruct the jury after-the-fact to disregard it?

The jury doesn't just live in a vaccum. There are rules for what kind of evidence is admissible to them, and we don't just leave it to the jury to yolo it.

Sometimes, those rules don't make 100% sense. That's the case with any set of rules (Especially ones surrounding legal procedure!). We set rules, because we think that they are a good idea most of the time.

And most of the time, for most crimes, the tradeoff between trying a decades-old case, and of preventing the harassment of an innocent person over a decades-old-case leans towards the latter.
Some clues in my comments. But for the most part, I can’t share. We’ve built some cool stuff, but not enough to be “moaty” at the moment.
Tangentially related, there's also the Rapid Dragon system for launching palletized cruise JASSM cruise missiles from cargo planes. They roll the disposable launcher packs off the back, which deploy a chute and drop missiles. You can fit 12 missiles in a C-130, 45 in a C-17.
MLPerf does not test hardware. Companies submit results from their own hardware. This is what each company chose to submit.
> wires are passed through magnetic cores to indicate a 1 or bypass a magnetic core to indicate a 0

So that's how the core rope memory works. I've always wondered about it.
Google's revenue in 2022 was $280 billion. 1% of that would be $2.8 billion, and Google had 190000 employees at the time. I'm pretty sure the average wage of those employees is not $14,736, so Varoufakis would appear to be off by at least a factor of 10x.

On the other hand, if Google did pay out 80% of revenues, the average Google paycheck would be a cool $1,178,947.
In 2023, the diamond mining industry in South Africa and Botswana is pretty clean, treats workers well, and pays good wages. I cannot answer for other countries in Africa, but you can be very specific about the origin of your diamond when buying it.
Oh the pain
> That's where laws and overwatch come in.

When someone breaks the law and you get killed as a result, you don't come back to life even if the perpetrators get arrested.

> That's where separation of powers and checks and balances come in.

That has a history of not working in this context.

> That's where taking security seriously comes in.

It's not your security which is the problem, it's their security, which you have no control over.

> No, you don't. You click that you want to access, site redirects you to a government portal, you authenticate, government portal sends back a token and no personal information.

You just described "giving your name to someone in order to access the site." The someone is the government portal. In many cases the government is the entity you need to have your privacy protected against. In other cases the government is innocent but incompetent and the portal gets compromised by someone malicious. This is not a solved problem; it keeps happening.
Of course that is possible, but wouldn't that make the project more complex again?

I'll chime in and say that OpenXR integration is a good suggestion, just not something I had the time/effort to implement (this is a university project, after all, and was focused more on the core tracking tech). I think people just took issue with the way you phrased your original comment.

I was a bit surprised when I read "4x USB, HDMI and 2x Mini DisplayPort". It looks like it doesn't have 2 actual Mini DisplayPorts, but instead the 2 USB-C ports support DisplayPort 1.4.

It's been a while since I was tempted to buy a laptop (granted I don't really look), but this configuration and price seems pretty great.

Like how a serf could move their crops to a more generous lord.

It’s a false dichotomy that you either have one monopolistic company or perfect competition. Like almost everything, it’s a spectrum.

Apple and Google aren’t monopolies, they’re oligopolies. That’s better but a far cry from efficient competition. Compare their 30% App Store cut to online stock brokers which charge single-digit percentage fees and also require significant infrastructure and compliance overhead. They’d love to charge more but they’re in a sea of competitors who would eagerly steal away their customers.
Shipping silicon changes takes 3 years minimum, though usually 4 to 5 years depending on where a chip is at in its design cycle.

Asking silicon manufacturers to be nimble and respin chips already in the pipeline is not realistic given the huge lead times these vendors have to change their chips.

The whole diamond market absolutely is a scam, you'd think it would violate some anti-trust laws of some sort but apparently no, everything is "legal"... go figure.
it's both actually.

it is each partners responsibility to make the other happy.

so thinking that it is not your responsibility to make your partner happy is the harmful part.
It's not about a diamond ring but what is behind that preference. Could be different things but some of them are a huge red flags. It's a lot better to marry someone that do not have that preference.
Your friend dodged a bullet, a big one.

There's really no good reason to use Google for anything where there's competition. I use Google for Youtube (no competition), Search and Maps (not very competitive offers by MSFT and AAPL yet getting better every day while Google is getting worse). Have switched from Gmail to Hosted Exchange a decade ago and using iCloud for files, pictures and calendar/notes etc synching. Safari and Firefox for ad-less browsing.
Indeed, and it’s one of the most powerful tools in propaganda: slather on additional context so that it become indiscussible (as there is no common language anymore).

Capitalism is a power system where capital and not creation dictates ownership. If you define it like this, people are often more inclined to see it as unethical. Which is exactly what the ruling class (aka the owners of capital) doesn’t want.
The happiest relationships result from both partners putting the other first. This forum is predominantly men. As a woman, I see variations on that "keep the hubby happy" phrase all over womens' spaces. So yeah. Some equality here is a little refreshing.

There's this eletrical circuit schematic from a very old arcade game. The circuit literally encoded the graphics of the game. It was a 2D grid of wires with connections meaning 1 and bypasses meaning 0. You could see the shape of the thing on the circuit.

I wish I could find it again. I've searched the internet many times but to no avail. Perhaps someone here will know.
well, goodbye Microsoft Maps. I use you exclusively in offline mode as I as often in areas with no connection. Time to find another solution. From my point of view if find it very hard to come up with any valid reasons why to remove this feature. Maybe its just a change for the sake of changing, which is stupid
If you want to get into Android, a safer bet for high-end devices would be Samsung. It helps if you have other Samsung devices, like TVs or Galaxy Watch.

I have an S21 Ultra (2021). It's big and somewhat heavy, but it has 16 GB of RAM, 512 GB of storage, a good camera, it will get 4-5 years of updates in total, and it's easily the best Android I had thus far.

My last Google device was Nexus 6 and it was shit. The first device I got had screen issues. Changed it in warranty, and the replacement died just after the warranty was over. Pixels are not as appalling as Nexuses were back then, but from reviews on the web, it's not far either. Also, the default Google experience is shit too.
Not at all! All in good fun.
One has to read between the lines. What they really said is "We sell not enough Fitbit products in these countries and need to cut costs. So we'll sell only in countries, where we sell other products and selling Fitbit products costs us nothing".
Unfortunately there are few options if you want a more “vanilla style” Android experience like the Pixel has, without significant OS customizations or pushing of me-too ecosystem apps/features. To my knowledge it’s mainly just Fairphone if you’re ok with not getting flagship specs and Sony if you’re ok with paying a bit more (but getting excellent camera controls in exchange).
Google Maps crashes all the time on my Pixel phone, and I hear similar complaints from friends of mine on Samsung and Motorola phones. Note that this is without using Android Auto.

Count yourself lucky if you have a stable, crash free Google Maps experience!

It’s so bizarre that every time I upload something to S3 I have to jump through a hoop to make it publicly readable and Amazon displays a massive warning sign.

Like the only thing I use S3 for is hosting open source software binaries. Maybe there’s a use case for restricting access, but I don’t even know what that would be.
I have listened a lot of Varoufakis's speeches some years back, in Greek as well as in English, when i had no idea of economics. Varoufakis was always very critical of the tendency of capitalism and market forces to create powerful companies and wealthy individuals. Lately he is all about Amazon, Google etc.

In my opinion, it is a mistake to try and understand what's the purpose of money, by focusing on the consumption, rather than the production. Varoufakis falls into this trap. I have written in the past a relevant comment [1].

A recent example to illustrate what's the importance of money, is the production of CPUs, GPUs, TPUs, QubitPUs and so on. What's the more important processing unit, in the year of 2023? GPUs of course! How do we know? The price of Nvidia is going up and up. The consumers send a signal to the company which produces the most important processing unit, to increase production.

So, money is an automation. It automates the answer to the question: "Which one of the processing units do we need to increase the production of?"
