From my own experience as an Estonian, if we both get together in a pub and get drunk, even if neither of us speak each others languages, we'll have no problem communicating. Drunk spoken Estonian and Finnish sort of blend together and the use of vocabulary gets limited to the more common words.
You mean do the right thing by shareholders. Apple spends on the order of a 100 billion a year lining shareholder pockets through buybacks and dividends. That is three times what they spend on r&d.

This company is making obscene amounts of profit only to hand most of it over to people whose contribution to apple’s success is zero, instead of spending it on improving the products or customers actually responsible for that success. If this isn’t a condemnation of what’s wrong with capitalism, I don’t know what is. Tim Cook may have no other choice, but it is despicable that he doesn’t.

Does anyone else read articles backwards? It seems to be the best way for me to read articles since most of the are padded. The last part was that it needs to be done by March 2024, if the was the relevant info you care about.
Seriously. People make Kubernetes out to be this wildly complicated technology, but if your environment is more complex than just "Here's a glorified VM running on a couple EC2 instances behind a load balancer," it has a lot of benefits and is really not that difficult to set up in this day and age.
Not only is it off-topic, but I don't think anyone is likely to learn anything interesting from a reply, and the most likely outcome is an abortion-related flamewar.

I don't agree with Jeff's 2009 views on abortion, but it's not really relevant to the work he's done here, and neither is whether or not he's changed his mind in any way about it.

"Without advertising, the world would be filled with large companies with no incentive to innovate because it would be impossible to discover their competitors."

There is nothing in that sentence that makes sense historically, and certainly doesn't now. Larger firms can leverage advertising usually better than small players just on budget terms, so it isn't just advertising itself, but how its deployed.

Adtech favors larger players that are platforms (e.g. Doubleclick) and just scrapes marketing dollars from everyone it can, and then benefits the platform itself if its product family has competing products (Google, Amazon, etc)

Advertising doesn't provide any fairness in a playing field. It's simply a parallel arena of competition with a more opaque set of operating rules.
It sounds like you are saying that businesses should only be able to sell services that they publicly advertise with prices. For example, if Coca Cola wanted to have a product placement idk the eventual Jok3r movie, would Warner Brothers would need to advertise that service somewhere on the website? Would you see Coca Cola's advertising department calling WB and being "yo, what do we have to do to get poison ivy to have a fridge full of Coca Cola?" be sneaky?

It certainly seems strange. But maybe the demand from a relatively few Japanophiles doesn't outweigh the adminstrative costs of maintaining a much larger number of SKUs (including regulatory requirements) and they'd send boxes of green tea chocolate to go out of date on shelves. I'd have thought a big corporate would have pretty scalable product range management but maybe it's just cheaper to hand that off to importers. Some calculation must presumably be involved.

Though I like to think the Nestlé/Hershey executives have been threatened by immaculately-suited Pocky-toting enforcers of the importers making profits on the novelty arbitrage.
If you’re going to play with Amiga, I’d recommend buying a legal copy, just to support the community, and it’s so cheap, it’s really worth it for the nostalgia alone.

I had a play with it last weekend, and it wasn’t very easy to setup, but after some faffing about and manually compiling the latest qemu, I was able to get it booting in a VM on my Linux desktop.

It’s nice to feel the nostalgia for the early machines, and then after 10 minutes of actually using it, feeling the gratitude for how much better my current desktop is, not just in compute power but usability too.
There's store-within-a-store, but it's not really the same thing as a marketplace, and not the type of thing where any provider dominates the market enough to have a monopolistic power on it.
If you base your project off of one of the examples, the project file has relative paths back to the SDK. For example:

<file file_name="../../../../../../components/libraries/log/src/nrf_log_backend_rtt.c" />

No amount of symlinking can fix this, and there's a lot of these files. Maybe copying an example project is not the right way to do things.

The link issue was, I think, the result of what Nordic does with weak symbols. I don't recall the symbol name, but it was something which caused very unusual results.

I'm not sure I follow.

It's pretty widely recognized that Apple was circling the drain in the '90s, and things didn't turn around until they bought NeXT and put Steve in the CEO chair. Since that point, they haven't needed "saving". All these different stories you see are about the changes Steve made to the company that probably contributed to the turnaround.

Gotta say, in 20+ years of branching and merging using CVS, SVN and then Mercurial, I've never had an issue tracking down nasty bugs. Maybe git bisect on a linear history would hypothetically be a few minutes faster in some cases, but doesn't make it worth all of the extra work and the dangers of overwriting other people's work.

I think the Fossil devs also make a good case that the problem is really a limitation in the tools like git bisect.
I'm referring to the inverse of this, though. I'm looking for the number of children per family who do survive childhood.

I totally agree with this article, it's actually not that complicated to build your own toolchain, you can use one of the many open models, and if you're building it for profit make sure you read the ToS.

Who is "everyone", in "it would make everyone's lives worse"? Worse in what way, exactly? What quantifiable metric are you using to judge "worse"?

I agree that some feature branches can be developer diaries, but I'm not sure why throwing away the diary is a good thing, and why the repo should only contain "releasable products". Sounds like an aesthetic preference rather than something concrete.
It's also hard to understand just how popular KitKats are in Japan and how their products and limited time offers cater uniquely to the Japanese audience.

Although I'm generally happy with Apple's walled garden model, IMHO sideloading is getting much more important than ever for a few reasons:

1) Apple engaging in rent seeking may stifle progress and create another Nokia catastrophe. When a device is locked down, Apple can make you purchase inferior services and if they can do it for long enough they can end up irrelevant. Big things are happening in China, not good idea to milk customers instead of head on competition just because there's a political pressure on China and locked down devices in users hands.

2) Political instabilities all over the world. Apple services might not be available all the time and they might be limited due to political reasons.

3) Huge appetite by the governments to control user's devices and make vendors act as the police. Maybe you support this if you feel like the power is on your side but don't forget that your enemies can take over at any time. Locked devices are extremely risky for any kind of resistance.

It's also very interesting if Apple can manage to make this EU exclusive. If Europeans manage to come up with actually popular use cases, can Apple deny this to US users? For how long? AFAIK in China WeChat can do a lot of stuff that it's not allowed in the West, can Apple pull this in EU-USA context? IMHO it would be much harder.

I don't think it's a boner over withholding flavors.

It's likely a profit boner. Margins on obscure flavors aren't projected to be high enough in whatever market, so they don't offer it. But in some other market, projections look good, so they offer it.

To be honest after factoring in contracting vs being full time, living in a country with much less taxes than the US, low cost of life, higher quality of life, better food I don't think fangs are worth it unless paying 500k+

I wish that I were good enough at communicating why I think that large language models are AI, but I just can't really argue against blanket statements like "it doesn't matter how it is implemented if it still appears intelligent".

People give me arguments like, it doesn't matter that LLMs don't really have any internal "thoughts" or ambitions, because each token is calculated solely from the previous tokens - that can be added on. You can chain LLMs together and do a bunch of this other stuff in order to implement that. "Internal thought and deliberation is just a feature you can implement on top of existing LLMs!"

Just... I get that AI won't necessarily have to work like how biological brains do, because intelligence is achievable in many different ways, but LLMs just... aren't it.

You seem to be conflating a "boring" product with using OpenAI models, but the two have nothing to do with each other. 99% of users don't care what models you're using underneath. They only care how well the product works.

"What stops them from making the same feat again?"

Hopefully nothing, for their sake, because they're going to have to do it again and again to keep up.

Look, I'm not saying this specific product was wrong to build their own models for certain tasks. If it works for their product and they're getting users, then bully for them. I just don't think it's great general advice. I also think it provides a lot less long-term differentiation and competitive edge than the author of the post seems to think.

> some kind of internet dystopia where data for each service is treated and billed differently

I feel like this particular topic (while important) distracts from a much more disturbing possibility: blocking or throttling legal content for political purposes.

It has been pretty rare, but it's not unheard of. Given the number of companies that can block your access to a given site (DNS, ISP, backbone, webhost, etc), I think having some regulatory or statutory protections for online speech is in order. Net Neutrality (in it's 2015 FCC formulation among others) is basically that.
I don’t have a drivers license. The only ID I have is my passport. I never carry my passport except when I know that I need it. I don’t expect needing to bring my passport to go to a restaurant. Imagine I saved up money for a special restaurant visit, got the reservation and paid the $200 deposit but didn’t notice I would have to bring my ID. I show up and.. the night is ruined and my $200 is lost because I can’t prove my identity to the staff at the restaurant with a valid ID, since that one is still at home.

There are ideological reasons to prefer an open source model. I also think the nokia analogy is pretty thin, but I would never get an iPhone. I don't know what the app store equivalent for Altman's company is though. I also don't know if it's worth perpetuating a monopoly for it.

If you don't need an llm at all though, I agree don't use one.
They're going after both companies for discrimination on the basis of national origin.
Don't get me wrong, please. I'm not absolving the responsibility by blaming Soviets for Russian problems. I'm just mentioning one of the potential factors, saying that Soviets had contributed to this.

Not a worry, I appreciate the nuance and I actually agree for the most part with your argument. Historical conditioning is 100% a burden and I agree that system has broken trust across the board in russian society but at some point a combination of living in a low trust/no trust society combined with a horrifying mutation of that system mixed with unrestricted capitalism has to have taken a toll even before being pariah'd and sanctioned to hell and back.

I also know there are Russians that are against this and have put their lives on the line (and lost them) trying to expose putin for what he is and does, I just wish more would follow in their spirit and maybe we can, at least in one section of the world, have a little peace and quiet.

Cynical take is that Google is a monopoly. They could probably easily double net income margins from ~25% to ~50% while still growing at a similar rate. Instead, they waste hundreds of billions to satisfy employees and placate regulators.
Yep, deep geothermal would be cool, but not as mature. Was specifically advocating nuclear as it is basically a drop in replacement for fossil fuel in existing CHP plants.

> std::deque will never beat your hand-rolled ring buffer.

std::deque may never beat a hand-rolled ring buffer of fixed size that maintains cursors, but it will beat a hand-rolled linked-list implementation.

The typical implementation will generally exhibit better cache locality than a linked list, and will outperform it for random access as required by the specification (amortized constant, vs linear).

(The typical implementation per cppreference, although I don't think this is formally required by the spec, is a sequence of fixed-length arrays.)
Is the strange part that they used the (politically designated) country name rather than the (geographically oriented) island name? This seems normal to me, as journalists frequently describe locations by political names.

Who calls the area West Papua? The Indonesians seem to refer to it as "Western New Guinea", and "Papua" seems to be an antiquated term used to refer to some part(s) of the island of New Guinea.
