Why does anyone choose to play any game instead of another? Catan has a chance element to it, isn't that gambling to try to win the game? Why not play something completely deterministic? For the record, we also do play Catan and other games.

We play poker because we enjoy the structure of the game and it is different to other things. Personally I'm uncomfortable with your insinuation that I, and the friends I play with, are somehow culturally brainwashed to be gamblers because we enjoy poker.

I'll end the conversation by repeating what I said above. If you look down on this type of activity then there's nothing I can do to change your mind.
Not sure what the folks at Epic are smoking, but Android devices without Google Play are failures, and it's how Google forced their other apps on device makers as well.

Google may have paid $8B to Samsung, but I wonder what the effects were, as I own multiple Samsung devices, and the Google apps are not defaults. Except for Google Play, I don't remember any others.

Was it something like "here's $8B so you don't feel bad about us coercing you?"
A bit surprised to see Jensen's stage appearance since clearly Microsoft's success with its own AI chips means less business for Nvidia's chips.

Because different than the ARM chip also announced in the same Ignite event, Microsoft doesn't exactly "need" nor can fully utilize an AI chip. Google trains its foundational models (e.g. Gemini) on its own TPU hardware but Microsoft's is heavily reliant on OpenAI for its generative AI serving needs.

Unless Microsoft is planning to acquire OpenAI fully and switch over from Nvidia hardware...
> We'll see how many of these kids plan on buying an iPhone when they are paying for it.

In their thirties?

I'm only half joking: between the Samsung Galaxy S-whatever my parents gave me as a graduation gift and a work provided iPhone, the first phone I paid for myself was in my thirties. Phones are only becoming more durable and expensive and wealth inequality isn't getting any better.
I actually chose Pixel because I thought it had a lot of cool features over the iPhone.
would they? most people who leave work to go to a medical facility tell work that they left work to go to a medical facility. it's not "most people" that need to worry about that, which means they don't. it's the times when it does matter, that it's an issue, and for people to care, they have to identify with the problem.
Or, in keeping with the theme of this comment thread, having the label imposed on them.

Maybe it will be a quaint, and ultimately solved, problem in that time but if the present is any indication, I can’t imagine how old and new might interact.

It is very easily storable, and in energy markets that are driven by free markets (rather than utility biases or legislative mandates), storage is one of the biggest investments on the grid:

It also demonstrates that they can be held liable.

"should be liable for their products" has an overarching implication that there's no liability. My own anecdata from the last few years is that the majority of anti-vax people parrot the line that "vaccine manufacturers are exempted from all liability"... which is patently false.

Good all be it brief summary.

The only part I disagree with is hybrid work.

For me, as I’ve gone through this journey - a key takeaway from understanding myself better is that commuting to and working from an office is far worse for my health than I thought and not something I could go back to doing.

An office is a place that’s very hostile to the majority of folks with ADHD and can have considerable health impacts. Its disruptions, lighting, heating, noises and work space disrupt my comfort, flow, mood and enthusiasm. It’s not something I’d go back to doing again - and because of that I’m healthier, happier, get considerably more work done, and want to engage socially more outside of work.

It’s great to see accessible articles like this become popular, I think it’s also important to make sure that all the mitigating strategies don’t end up falling solely with the individual, but we that we also work towards a healthier, more inclusive, working society.
We strongly believe in opening up the codebase to embrace transparency and show users that their code is being read, not stored.

That being said, we understand that many companies can't use OpenAI-powered products because of the lack of a data transfer agreement (ChatGPT Enterprise version aside).

Self-hosted tools aside, what vendors do you use that solve this problem well?
In the notebook context the main gripe is that notebooks have the "invisible" memory state that means that one can't deduce from the notebook code what it actually does. Or more concretely the order of execution of the cells affects what the notebook does. This leads to sort of higher level side-effects. With usual side effects you get spaghetti, with notebooks you get moving spaghetti in five dimensional space.

Immutability and idempotencency are good, and related, ideals too, although I think these can get too "unergonomic" if taken too dogmatically (like in Haskell or Redux), they should be used with almost goto-level discretion.

Of course there's the clear (short term) usability benefit of maintaining the memory state in that stuff doesn't have to be recomputed. But we can have that benefit and be stateless with pure functions and memoization. I quite often whip up a buggy and brittle ad-hoc solution to do so. There was also the IncPy project [1] that did this more rigorously, but it hasn't been updated in 13 years.

In general I'm a bit baffled why pure function memoization is so rarely used or proposed. Despite the old adage, cache invalidation is not actually half of the three hard problems in CS. With pure functions it's trivial.

Another baffle is why snapshotting/change tracking (and compressing) file systems haven't caught on. Instead these tend to get implemented badly in any sufficiently complicated application.

Mobile, desktop, laptop, edge, server. These are the domains of compute. 4 out of the 5 domains value power efficiency. Laptop that were once x86 are now coming round to Arm because it really does make a better product i.e battery life and thermals. For the server, savings in energy and cost of chip manufacturing, datacentres and users both benefit.
I don't think future vs past is a good distinction. There is really not a succinct rule of thumb (the common one, "just use UTC", can mean multiple things and can mislead juniors), which is a symptom of the conceptual complexity of distinguishing time as a physical measure vs time as a cultural construct.

This is compounded severely by the insistence of many languages, libraries, and platforms of calling absolute times "Dates" and reinforcing that lie by silently picking arbitrary tz offsets to add to your absolute times at API edges - perhaps the single most destructive cutesy convenience in the history of software.

The only real rule of thumb is: If the clock time, calendar date, or tz offset matter in your use case, store them. Otherwise, use absolute time. Learn how your platform stores time and then you will see where your tools are doing the conversion for you, and STOP them from doing it.

The amount of downtime required to deploy a change which renames the column and changes the code which accesses said column, is marginally more than "almost immediately".
Yep. This phenomena isn't generally true outside of the US and it is 100% because of the abuse that is iMessage aka Blue Bubble Bullying. Having a phone that doesn't open iMessage is basically a guarantee in the US that you will be excluded and ridiculed if you're a teen, and tbh even as an adult, not having iMessage can result in being excluded in the workplace as well as socially.

To be honest, Apple should be ashamed of themselves for literally inventing whole-cloth a new form of Discrimination. "Intersection of Humanities and Technology" sure does take on a whole new meaning in that light.
and then they become a separate problem all of their own

I struggle with it too.

There are an infinite number of possible todo systems and different systems will work for different individuals at different times. But, I do feel there are two immutable truths w.r.t. successful todo list tasking.

1. You have to aggressively prioritize and prune them.

2. You should have separate daily/weekly/monthly/"someday" lists. Or some variation on this them. Maybe you do weekly/monthly/someday. Or today/tomorrow/someday. Whatever.

Point is it can't be a single infinitely expanding list or multiple infinitely expanding lists. Otherwise it's just a giant guilt pile that is 50% full of crap you don't even care about any more.

I still struggle but I think embracing those two principles is table stakes

That makes sense.

My assumption prior to purchasing these devices was that AMD support would be the main reason for me returning them.

I was quite surprised to see just how well everything worked, and, in fact, these devices have given me much less trouble than my i7-1165G7 Dell XPS 13".

In fact, these devices has worked so well that it's really made me more excited about consumer technology and new laptops and portables than I have been in a long time!

I am worried that I may be mistakenly generalising this to all AMD devices. I have even been considering ditching Intel for my next laptop upgrade…

This is a very specific technology that has serious scaling issues, and the neural networks coming out today are huge in comparison to YOLOv5 and ResNet. The company has already failed once. This will probably have its niche in some computer vision stuff for a little while, but models have already outgrown it.
When some of the key decision makers are poor communicators and/or underperformers it’s not in their personal best interest to allow remote work. Perhaps that’s why some companies push RTO despite the workers hating it.
> You are very misinformed if you think vaccine manufacturers are not liable for their products. They are exempt from normal civil suits because of their mandatory nature (nobody would make a mandatory medical product at the usual rate of medical malpractice suits), but the FDA is authorized to withdraw products and levy fines for defective/harmful vaccines, and has done so many times in the past.

I must be severely misinformed as well, because I remember signing a waiver that prevents me from filing a civil suit. I don’t see how such things as negligence and/or willful misrepresentation of benefits and risks can be remedied simply by having the FDA say “whoops, actually you can’t inject this in people anymore.” That’s wildly different from being a able to provide restitution, let alone punish bad behavior.

The extremely paltry claims paid out by the VICP are funded by an excise tax on all vaccines, it's not any kind of scenario where a manufacturer is on the hook in proportion to their responsibility for causing damages.
I wonder if part of it is that under performing companies feel that they need to RTO to try to fix things...which of course does not work but...
Whenever there's a large financial incentive to cheat and low consequence for getting caught, it's safe to assume that there will be sophisticated attempts to do so.

I think both these preconditions are met (in spades) when it comes to online poker.

As far as I can tell, there's no way to stop collusion in the following form:

- Create a large remote team of cheaters

- Have them all multi-table PLO at the same online casino

- Each participant randomly chooses tables to avoid anti-collusion tracking

- With a large enough pool of cheaters, you will inevitably have multiple colluders at the same table

- Sharing knowledge of your whole cards with other colluding table participants will give you all a huge winning edge

Since there's no way to stop the above, and there's a large incentive with low consequences if caught, I assume cheating is a huge problem in online poker. Wondering if anyone can confirm/deny this?

The reasons are obvious - it's not always possible to rent a Tesla, and in fact, it's usually not. Teslas are expensive compared to other electrics. Rental companies, and the world, are diversifying from Teslas, as we should.

>iPhones last a long time – making them easy for parents to hand down to kids. iPhones are reliable – meaning kids don't have bad experiences with them. iPhones work – meaning kids don't have to spend hours learning how to root their devices to create a better Android experience.

iOS is a nice unified experience. Contrast that with your run-of-the-mill mid-range Verizon-branded Samsung, which has 4 phone dialers, 3 app stores, and insists you log in with 3 different accounts to get the "full experience."

I find UTC painful from a West Coast perspective, too. -8 is 1/3 of a day, and it puts the UTC date rollover at either 4pm or 5pm depending on DST. It genuinely makes solving problems using logs twice as difficult, as a lot of problems strangely tend to happen around that time.
