There are plenty of free mac apps, most just aren’t on the official Mac App Store because it requires a paid license. I use mac exclusively and I pretty much only use free productivity and development apps.
Humans can't really compete with vertical. Moreover Gen Z already knows they're worse off than their parents, who were worse off than their respective parents. The real world is looking less appealing, which is probably why so many people are dropping out of it.
Retailers make a significant return on interest? Can you help me identify what keywords I would look for in a P&L to see this?
> It's interesting that Tokyo is used by people all the time after just quick googling. Probably because it's an "exotic" location.

Also, if GP wants to make a point that housing prices can be stable somewhere, they probably shouldn’t pick a spot in a nation with a legendarily stagnant economy. 23Q3 even showed a contraction.
The mishmash of systems and the 50+ years of rules is not something to be proud of, it's a cancer that speaks of incompetence and regulatory capture.

Neither the government nor the banks can compete with tech startups in, well, tech, so they do so with overwrought legislation, nonsense rules, horribly outdated and absurd security practices, and more.

God, everything about the banking industry in the US is such shit. From a complete misunderstanding of the very fundamentals of security to forming a sort of moat with regulation to the government's incompetent inability to actually push FedNow to completion and adoption.

It's just a shameful, massive clusterfuck that describes everything wrong with the government's and the banks' approach to technology.
Just do nuclear until they have proper infrastructure for US ffs. Nuclear power is cheap in the long run, and relatively safe.
My approach to an AI for MTG would be to not even pretend to play by the same rules, just make a series of challenges the player can face with their deck, Slay the Spire style. Like, one challenge the Computer adds 2 "Zombies" each turn and attacks, next challenge the Computer plays a random arc-bound card and each card on the table has a 50% chance to attack, etc, etc.

Players can build their decks and then see how far they can get through the challenges.
I think there was a lot of research to use other kind of materials beside silicon for making chips. One of them was carbon. I even heard about optical chips, using light instead of electricity.
Do you really own media on a Blu-ray Disc though? As I understand it, the media is encrypted with advanced DRM and can only be decrypted with a “secure” player+tv chain.
All the functionality of the current app will remain free, so you can try it without worrying about a bait-and-switch. Note also that the app has full task import/export to CSV, so there is no lock-in. Your todo app should not cause you stress.

To pay the bills we plan to offer a paid service that will provide cloud backup and cross-device synchronization, but that's a few months away. I'd appreciate any feedback on this as a revenue stream.
"...leaving the platform virtually unusable for those who remained."

Sorry, but what? I use it everyday and it's fine. Oh I'm sure some of the author's favorite people decided to switch to mastadon or blue sky or something, but to claim the platform is wildly destabilized is hilariously hyperbolic.

I’m sure this question has been asked plenty of times but what is the best place to start with LLMs (no theory, just installing them locally, fine tuning them, etc)

You should definitely try the default reminders app because it looks similar to yours. It’s very simple and easy to use, it’s one of my productivity tools. I don’t think I ever even open the actual app, I just ask Siri to make a reminder for me and then complete the reminder in the widget or from the notification. The only advantage I see from yours (based on the website link) is that it’s keyboard-navigable, so maybe you could emphasize that more.
So going from 65nm to 3nm only gave us 2.5x speed? If by speed we only understand frequency, then it might be true. But speed depends also on IPC and having more transistors means higher IPC.
I use Shopify to accept recurring payments for my B2B SaaS, highly recommend and very easy to integrate.

They tagged this bird almost 70 years ago, and the tag is still attached? What do they use for the tag?

No doubt manufacturers will us this as an excuse to force users into buying a new model, blaming Microsoft in the process.
There are also surely Triad members loading cash onto junks. But since China already cracks down on these illegal things they arent worth talking about in the same breath as the real money flows.
It is?

A factory makes transistors ,and if you increase a 'node', you make twice as much. If you do an amazing job, you might reduce cost 10%.

So by far the best way to maximize value in semiconductors is to enable shrink.

But you also just don't hear it in the popular or even engineering press. Most manufacturers and designers look at a PPAC curve (power, performance, area, cost) and find optimal design points.

As for spreading it out: the unit of production isn't a wafer, it is a lithographic field, which is roughly 25*35mm. You cant practically 'speead out' much more (ok, you sort of can with field stitching, but that is really expensive).
MAUI doesn't count if "supports GNU/Linux" is part of being considered FOSS proper, and on macOS they took the shortcut of using Mac Catalyst instead of macOS UI APIs.
There is this super cool phenomenon where pairs of matter and antimatter will spontaneously come into existence in a vacuum and then neutralize itself. I always liked to intuitively connect that with an equation that looks really complicated, but just comes out to 0 = 0 when you simplify it. Add to that cellular automata that based on extremely simple rules can show mindblowing outcomes. I feel these things together give an intuitive feeling about a possible origin of this something we are looking at. I think Steven Wolfram voiced similar thoughts. Of course one might go further and ask why laws of physics exist at all...
… Eh? SEPA Instant is based on, er, SEPA Non-Instant, which itself is based on a bunch of predecessor systems.

I don’t think the US _did_ digitise its financial industry first, did it? That’d be the UK, with Girobank, and BACS; the US ACH system showed up a few years later. Spoiler: the UK has instant payments (FPS is about 15 years old). Eurocheque, a sort of spiritual predecessor to SEPA, showed up the same year as Nacha (though most European countries had their own national systems until the early noughties, when they were largely replaced by SEPA).
> a trivial side-by-side comparison glance makes it clear they don't match

A "trivial, side-by-side comparison glance" would lead me to believe the two number strings are the same. If I'm just glancing I'm not going to take care to read each and every character out and compare them, that's not what glancing means.
This is a pretty aggressive stance. The US is rather large and not particularly uniform. In my experience, small banks are better adapted for the needs of these different communities.

I used to bank with large national banks. Their fees were higher, account balance minimums were higher, loans were harder to get (often with higher rates), and their response to customer service issues were to raise their hands and say “sorry, it’s corporate policy.” Their big benefit was that branches were easier to access and they have ATMs everywhere.

I moved to a local credit union and have no interest in ever switching back. They invest in the community. It’s easier to get a loan. It’s easier to appeal to a human. And they simply work with you more. Nowadays they provide essentially everything larger banks do with better service. The only thing I can think where they lack are international wire transfers, where they need to route through a bigger bank. I think I’ve needed to do that once in the past decade.

Regional banks could possibly fill the role small banks do, but we used to have regional banks and they all consolidated throughout the 90s and 00s, presumably to be more profitable, or they sold off to larger banks. Small banks and credit unions do the job regional banks used to but without the mandate to increase profits year over year.

There are plenty examples of American exceptionalism. Providing more customer choices and better service by having more choices in banking is not a stellar example, IMHO. It may complicate rollout like of things like FedNow, but if that’s the cost of having access to a banking system that enhances their communities, I’ll live with the trade-off. On the other hand, I have friends in other countries that despise their bank but have maybe two other options, with essentially no difference between them, so they’re stuck with it.
Over geologic timescales, almost all rocks on earth are pushed down far enough that they melt, mix, and are churned back up as new rock.

My understanding is that it's not a technology problem, but a regulation problem. The FAA does not make it easy to get approval for unleaded fuel.
If you are along time GNU user (meaning GNU grep, sed, less, awk, find, tar, etc., etc.) this will be way more frustrating than you realize to use. Having lived in the UNIX days, I can still remember the subtle differences in all the command-line tools driving me nuts. This is actually how the GNU tools became popular even before Linux was a thing, you could install them on irix, hpux, sun, any UNIX, and you wouldn't have to deal with the quirky differences between hpux grep and irix grep (for example).
The biggest 4 banks ... do support near-instant transfers? Probably in at least three forms each pairwise? I'm not sure why we're pretending the US doesn't have infrastructure for instant transfers, there are like at least four directly supported systems, a couple accidental ones, and a whole host of third-parties in the space, each with a different set of tradeoffs and spotty support.

Over 60% of homes in America are single family homes so it sounds like carmakers can sell plenty of EVs.

There are 1.88 vehicles per household in the US so it seems like many American households could have one of those vehicles be an EV while the other is gasoline for longer trips if they need that functionality so badly.

The range anxiety thing is so overblown, too. Driving 300 miles at 60mph average is 5 full hours of driving. That’s so much.

If you assume that EVs are barely doing 200 miles of real condition range that’s still over 3 hours of driving before you need to stop at all.

And then if you are going much longer than 500 miles it starts to make more sense to fly in the US. For a family of four you can’t make a trip from Ohio to Orlando make financial sense in a car, like, at all. The airfare is too low and the car travel time is too high.

AMD stacked cache is a significant increase and gives a huge boost in certain gaming scenarios, to the point that it's a 100% increase in certain games that rely on huge caches
Japan has some of the creakiest banking systems dating from the 70's (they used to shut down ATMs for a week over new year not too many years ago, and most people still maintain a paper bank book that gets printed inside the ATM using a dot matrix printer) but they still managed to move over 1000 financial institutions to 24/7 instant payments like 4 years ago once they started getting competition from fintech services.

Well, so instead of giving money to Intel, you go get infected by your virus of choice. You still have to manage heat, though.

I wonder how can you install software, or does it come in ROM?

I remember collecting these beetles as a kid every Christmas, they're easy to catch but when you do they'll often try to hide or escape by trying to part one's closed fingers. They are remarkably strong for their size.

20 rules for formulating knowledge [1] are also very useful. They were written by the creator of SuperMemo, which to my knowledge developed a lot of the spaced repetition algorithms.

For example Anki, the software talked about in the article, uses the SM-2 algorithm by default which was developed by SuperMemo.

They did! At least twice! Politics happened!
Not only did Western Europe digitized banking about the same time as US, but each country had its own proprietary system of payment, financial regulation, account format etc. Before SEPA Europe was a single market in name only, with expensive SWIFT payments being the most common way to settle cross border transactions.

US has a simpler task by any conceivable yard stick, but there is absolutely no political will to get it done.

Because when you make it denser, you can cut the CPU into smaller parts, which decreases costs

when you make it less dense, it can clock up higher, but you will have fewer cores per mm^2

AMD went with both approaches, where their hybrid CPU will have densely packed low speed Zen 4C cores and some high speed Zen 4 cores to boost at the highest frequency

My ultimate technical writing tip is to be like Mike and "just do it". The more you write, the easier it gets. If you write enough to reframe your perspective around the user's problems, and come to a point where you question your technical decisions as a result, then you're definitely headed in the right direction. Documenting something is simply the best way to put yourself in your user's shoes.
This is typically referred to as a handle rather than a pointer. Handles can permit more flexibility than pointers.

The wording is a bit confusing. They mean that as income increases, the number of republicans increases, while democrats remain more or less constant across income levels.

In other words, poor people tend to be D and rich people are more like to be R (but there are still many Ds) - *according to this graph*
I completely agree, finger counting makes much more sense, smaller times-tables, etc, but I don't like the naming, using existing numbers, or 1000 groupings.

One problem with all these alternative base number systems is they reuse our base-10 digits.
To me '10' instinctively means 'ten', '13' is automatically read as thriteen, and so on. They need to use a completely different set of digits (and names) so that you 'feel' the new base, and avoid confusion.

There are already proposed names for exponents; "nil", "un", "bi", "tri", "quad", and "pent" - those should be the names of the numbers too, and the exponents should be direct rather than x3, ie "unex" is sixes, bi-ex is 6x6s, tri-ex is 6x6x6s, etc.
I doubt that. Putting batteries into appliances sounds extremely awkward.
Great answer that addresses the business incentives. Scaling is hard (perhaps impossible in some markets) and possibly expensive, while cutting labor costs has an immediate benefit to the bottom line.

Any thoughts on State Space Models?

Preach. TEL is awful and studies have shown elevated lead levels in children near RHV. Where 1x0LL has been banned, the tendency has been to go to UL94 (STC & MoGas). The main barrier to another option, G100UL, that complies with ASTM D910 100LL, is that it hasn't been deployed anywhere, there's no fuel supplier (Chevron or GAMI), and it requires an STC for owners. Honestly, I don't see them ever deploying it.

100LL for the entire west coast is made only by Chevron and only in Richmond, CA. California's legislature may decide to ban TEL's use in fuel manufacturing, which would end LL in the western half of the US.

PS: My cousin owns a bunch of helicopters, airports, hangars, heliports, and fuel bunkers.
I'd switch to FSRS, but the short-term workload increase is too much for me. I know it can be avpided by only enabling FARS for new decks and then gradually shifting over the entire collection, but that I don't think I'd like my collection fragmented over multiple spacing algorithms.

For now, Anki's v3 algorithm is good enough for me. The only thing I didn't like about v2 was the lack of buzz factor which meant that a lot of closely related flashcards showed up in the same reviewing session, making review of such cards slightly ineffective.
Hammond did spare some expense it seems.
Whenever you need just one of something (job, relationship etc), it's going to look hopeless, right up to the moment that you get that one thing, and then you'd wonder why you ever worried.

You have the experience. There is demand for your experience. You're going to be fine. Just keep applying. Try not to waste your energy on worrying, and redirect it towards sending out applications etc. Easier said than done, I know.
I like how users talk about hundreds of millions or billions like it's just small change for them.
Sort-of untrue now. There have been obstacles and there are now mostly supplier problems. There's presently UL94 available and G100UL that no one can get because no one makes it outside of GAMI in Oklahoma.
Nobody seems to bother but why anybody who use a cloud object storage will care about latency?

AFAICT they are all carrier locked and they want you to buy overpriced subscriptions from them. That seems in poor taste.

The author is describing a randomized search method, and not an evolutionary method. Stochastic optimization like this includes evolutionary algorithms but also other methods. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_optimization

"Evolution is the change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations", says https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution . The key part is populations.

That's why https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_computation also described evolutionary computation as "a family of population-based trial and error problem solvers with a metaheuristic or stochastic optimization character".

Hacking away at a single code base is not working with a population of code bases, and certainly does not match the description at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_programming .

Even those hacking away at a single code base are not making random changes, and we only have second-hand evidence that the interviewee "started mutating random parts of his code, and rerunning, just to see if that somehow fixed things".

It's a junior programmer trying to build up an understanding of what the system is doing, but without the experience to know to go and re-examine the test input for validity.
You mean like MPesa, the exploitative pseudo banking system popular in African countries where mobile phones are more likely to be available than electricity and running water?
i had the same thoughts, but one usecase was to quickly create GPU calculations. i wanted to allow users to create GPU kernels but without having to write a kernel.

Data has to get transferred from the GPU eventually, so breaking it up into steps back and forth does seem like over (under?) kill. Hopefully, since they're pipes in memory it won't be so bad as going to disk.
The whole point of fingerprinting is to produce something that's feasible to manually verify, as described in the article. If you're comparing in software there's no need to hash first (unless it's part of a certificate chain etc.)
Replication && untested backups != tested backups. Tested backups that exist in isolation from primary systems and sites are the only kind that matter.
