In Brazil it is still used as a photocopy term (much easier to say "tirar uma xerox" than "tirar uma fotocópia").
Other common terms that we use that came from brands:

shaving razor -> gilete (instead of "lâmina de barbear")

chewing gum -> chiclete (instead of "goma de mascar")

cotton swab -> cotonete (a J&J brand, instead of "haste flexível")

polystyrene -> isopor (a Knauf brand, instead of "esferovite" or "poliestireno expandido")
There's also the huge caveat of CUDA project compatibility. AMD/Intel seem to be a more promising in that regard, and thats not saying much.

Not that it isn't appealing... If the price is right.

Also, both AMD and Intel are both reportedly coming out with M Pro-like SoCs. AMD's "Strix Halo" is rumored for 2025. Less is known about Intel's Arrow Lake SKU at the moment.
Oh I meant over the last 2 years. But your point stands.
They've been around just over 100 years and did that once (in the US...I don't know about in the rest of the world).
But English is not fixed, at the domain-specific level. Domain-specific words are created, used, and forgotten all the time. This is to the benefit of communication/problem-solving and detriment to outsiders, juniors, longevity etc. (if the concept doesn't "stick")

Mathematics, finance, material science, etc. all have concepts and words in that conceptual space to define ways to solve and talk about problems. To pick one up and build upon it but have it be forgotten/not-understood has the same risk/reward as potentially choosing a short-lived technology. Sometimes choosing something complex is worth the risk, sometimes it's not.
> Would covering a desert in solar panels cause more thermal solar absorption in that area than would otherwise happen? Yes.

This depends on the efficiency of the PV modules. When it's greater than the albedo of the desert, it will cool the desert, not warm it. Remember, the electrical energy produced isn't heat. It's turned to heat at the consumer, but that's true of electrical energy from a nuclear plant too. Oh, and did you know that nuclear plants also add 2x as much heat energy in the exhaust of their cooling system?
Have you tried any Windows games on Apple Silicon? What kinds of Windows apps do you tend to run? I've used the macOS version of World of Warcraft on my '20 Mac Mini (16GB RAM) and even with utilities that adjust the mouse acceleration curve, I still find game play clunky. I was hoping I could run WoW under a VM and have it be somewhat performant.
Agreed. Unless that sentence contains a "not" somewhere :-)

Then what about letting me buy your content? No? What a surprise...
The fetish for materialistic explanations and Science (TM) in general in our culture has created a market for here-today-gone-tomorrow "discoveries" about how to live our lives in the most efficient and productive manner. So anyone willing to slog through the mountains of trash produced by the publish or perish model and summarize the latest "findings" can potentially make a lot of money from the chattering classes that buy this tripe. The mistake this person has made is being young and naive. The purpose of these books is to buy them to have something to talk about at social gatherings to make you sound smart and then throw them in the trash, not take them as prescriptions for how to live. The publishers of these books know what they are for, so no investigation is necessary.
They could have ported their user space to Linux or BSD though?

I never used A/UX, so I can't comment on its relative quality.

But it took half a decade for Apple to ship OS/X after the palace coup that brought Jobs back and killed off all their indigenous OS development. And what they ended up shipping with the first revision of OS X didn't really feel very "Mac" like, and ended up being this weird fusion of NeXT tech with a sort of pseudo-Mac UX.

I guess I wonder what was wrong with the A/UX tech that stopped them from utilizing that as a foundation for something new.

EDIT, answering my own question: from WP "cooperatively multitasks all Macintosh apps in a single address space by using a token-passing system for their access to the Toolbox."

Not sure if this would apply to "hybrid" apps that used the Toolbox but with Unix syscalls as well, but I'm guessing yes, and that sounds like a serious limitation. Pure (non-GUI) unix applications would be fully multitasking, but GUI apps would have the same kinds of limitations as on System 7 -- poor/no memory protection, cooperative multitasking, bad memory management.
Hey OP, I had the same issue (also in France), and I believe it’s just a settings change that you have to do for this.

Under Settings -> Make and receive calls -> Ensure it’s set to Prefer Wi-Fi and mobile data.

If it’s set to use carrier, then you cannot make calls. Hope this work because this would scare the crap out of me!

"Gaslighting" has an old etymology, but its usage as a pop psychology term is recent and mostly a Zoomer phenomenon. Applying it to the history of television strikes me as presentism.
It isn't a device, it's a software tool. It doesn't make the monitor magically 2x the resolution; it can trick macos to render onto a 5k buffer and then downscale the output to the physical display so it looks not-broken.

https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay

I'm saying macOS is unusable on native resolutions - everything is either too small or too blurry, so a 4k display won't do me any good. 25x14 is the sweet spot for me, but I guess Apple decided I'm holding it wrong, because they want me to get a 5k display to get usable 25x14.

Netflix's secret starting in their DVD days was to provide a service that had way more variety than Blockbuster, so that no matter who you were, the movies you wanted to watch would be available.

Disney especially was arrogant enough to assume that they controlled all the IP that people actually want to watch, so they thought they could just pull out of Netflix and everyone would switch. But that's not how movie preferences work. There's no brand loyalty, there are movies (and shows) people like and movies they don't, and each person's set of preferred movies is unique and spread out across studios. Disney isn't Apple.
Of the latest generation Intel has a model you can grab new for $99, AMD $270, and Nvidia $280. I think that covers low and mid range pretty well, even filtering to only the absolute latest generation.

The big pinch on low/mid range for me was during the shortage period but that's long gone.
Manuals in the era were in general pretty good comparing to today’s open source software standard. Microsoft C++ has about 6-7 dictionary sized books as the manual.

Love that era. I’d definitely pay more if say Jetbrain has these kinds of manuals. But it doesn’t make sense nowadays to have printed manuals, not only because of the cost, but because nowadays people don’t need to read books about language specifications.
My guess, lots of user data + user corrections. When we correct what our phones mishear, that data helps train the speech recognition models to get more accurate over time.
I'm confused, GP didn't say anything about CO2 emissions specifically. GP said "emissions". Methane emissions are bad too.
The UMA itself actually isn't being used in AI, just the big memory pool for a GPU.

Intel canceled, and AMD sidelined, big APUs because they found the market didn't want them.
No, they were supposed to protect creators. Now they protect big corps and harm small ones and people.

> Pretty sure there is much more business that is in one form or another related to artificial scarcity of sorts.

That doesn't make it right. At least that's closer to a logical counterargument. Artificial scarcity, as a byproduct, could make sense if it's in the service of some greater good. Certification for doctors is probably a good example. For real estate agents, maybe not. Taxi medallion quotas definitely not. There are lots of cartel-like certifications that are not helping anyone.
Copyright, like government mandated certifications, is another form of scarcity, the supporting argument I'm aware of is that it spurs innovation and creativity, not the labor theory of value stuff I'm seeing discussed. I don't believe that copyright results in more creative work and so I don't see it as an acceptable tradeoff, especially given the way it gives advantages to bigger companies and wealthier people. I think it would be a valid argument to try and show that it really did result in a more creative and innovative society.
Aside from raw theory, the best thing you can do is try to translate a project you have, maybe a toy project of reasonable complexity, and rewrite it idiomatically in the new language. Use all the preferred methods, semantics, and modeling tools of the target language. Use the language's docs and X in Y Minutes page.
She's always struck me as a 'style over substance' kind of person, so in this light I guess she's doing a fabulous job, as others in this thread have said.
It's the same in WinForms, my example was bad as I was trying to do something "unsupported" by the base objects :)

Has perl "gone"? I'm certainly using on a regular basis at least 2 programs written in perl.
I don't know Erlang so take it with a grain of salt, but maybe take a look at the CouchDB code base?

It's a NoSQL DB written in Erlang. I looked at it a few years ago, its master to master replication seemed cool.
> not for the host computer, so "mtune=native" cannot be used.

Right, I am sure they intended it to be absurd in an amusing way.
If all they ever have access to is phones then their world consists solely of software they have been allowed to install by their platform overlords. Even if they had the urge to try and create something themselves, they would be forbidden from doing so.

Just keep consuming those ads and don't think about it.
If you want to go back further, Netflix's streaming service was worse than the DVD mail service (during its life span, of course) in terms of selection and cost. A good business finds ways to extract more value out of less capital over time.
This might be a bit contrarian, but don’t read engineering oriented books. Read up on selling, marketing, and product design. These are the things that will help you make better decisions about what you will build. My bet is that you got the technology parts covered, and the management things will start to matter once you have a team of 8+.
Foreigner living and working in Korea. Racism isn't a problem in Seoul, but as a courtesy I would strongly recommend signing up for Korean lessons while here.

The biggest complaint foreigners have is foreigners tend to only stay for a few years, so you're always losing your close friends. My recommendation is to make sure your friends aren't other foreigners, but it can be hard to find English speakers (especially outside major cities)

There are multiple parts to the braking system, and all play a part in deceleration.

1) Main slowing effect is braking system converting kinetic energy to heat dissipated by the brakes, and maybe back to chemical energy in the battery in the case of an EV with regenerative braking.

2) As the vehicle slows due to braking effect there's likely to be a mismatch between cars forward speed due to momentum and the rotational speed of the slowing wheels, and the role of tires is to try to maintain a grip on the road and prevent this from turning into a skid. Presumably there's energy being dissipated in the tires (and road) in the form of heat too, but only so much the tires can do if braking is too aggressive.

3) Either the driver, or anti-lock braking system, can pump the brakes to prevent the wheels from locking up since that's not the quickest way to stop.

So, tire contact area with road, and tread pattern, and tire material/construction will all play a role, but overall deceleration of the vehicle is based on a combination of all three of the above factors.
Possibly you're using hyper-specific definitions of accuracy and correctness.

How does the scientific process factor in, according to you?

You should be paid the accurate value of the labor. The pay should not scale more when no additional labor takes place.

This is how art worked for millenia; someone commissions a chapel roof painting, someone commissions a concerto, someone commissions a statue, someone buys a chair, etc.

Artists still do this today, and there is no issue determining value beforehand. Artists list their commission prices, or their hourly costs, etc. This is a perfectly normal thing that happens everyday.
It is currently so pro-big business, I would not be surprised if a modern 'free' market economy Republican, would think the original arguments to create copywrite, sound socialist.

I use the small iPad Pro, even the MacBook Air doesn’t come close in terms of weight and form factor. I did use the tiny MacBook Air, and I’d love a 12” MacBook, but they no longer exist.

On top of that, the combination of iPad, pen and paperlike screen protector is really nice for taking notes. The option to undock from the keyboard and just take the tablet is also nice.

I agree that it’s worse on pretty much every other metric and that it’s an optimization for one specific metric, but it’s workable.

And plugged into a decent screen, it’s pretty ok for most office tasks.

You don't want it too close, but it can be closer than that if you have normal eyesight. The line should be where your eyes have trouble focusing and add a small buffer. For me that's about a foot. So wherever you're comfortable looking at a smartphone (or really any object) is a good point of reference.

Otherwise this is a commonly propagated myth related to radiation from early TV sets.

That's the basics. The next level is, what if you want one process dying to interrupt and trigger killing another process that is associated with it -- perhaps it's the parent in an rpc -- that's the easiest case (and trigger the correct exception message in the logs of both nodes)

Oh. And it's on the other side of a cluster.

Sure, you could do it in Python or rust. It won't be zero lines of code. You're probably gonna get it wrong.
People build manufacturing capacity to come online when they predict demand will be high enough. So there isn’t lag involved with building capacity just viability.

As to solar it’s only 2.8% of total supply right now but it’s growing fast. That can ramp to ~20-40% without significant storage depending on how cheap solar becomes and how expensive storage stays and how much transmission capacity is available. The tipping point where daily rates are cheaper than nighttime rates will shift a lot of nighttime demand.

Assuming we want li-ion for grid storage. I feel we don't have a choice but hardly optimal.

The worst case is an unbalanced grid that leads to blackouts and/or disruptions. Not that we waste energy.
Housing prices (in economically productive regions) are completely decupled from the birth/death driven demographics.

I'm from a country with a demographics falling off the cliff, like Germany but worse, and just like Germany, housing prices (where jobs are) have went nowhere but up at a steep rate beyond wage growth, because housing is not a fixed pie for whom now less people are competing due to increased deaths vs births, because for a few decades now, it's no longer just people competing for housing against the other people, but piles of money competing against other piles of money, and the bigger piles are winning(aka investors).

If you expect housing to get cheaper because less babys will be born, you'll be in a rude awakening. If you want housing to go down you need to decouple it from investments because otherwise, all the levers will be pulled by the governments and banks to make sure that line only goes up regardless of demographics. "Too few babies are being born? No problem, we'll just market those houses to foreign investors. Problem solved. Line goes up now."
I guess I will have to disagree. My cars have been lasting longer and longer, and the cost per mile keeps going down.

My appliances have also been working fine for 5+ years. LG inverter motor is dead silent in my fridge, and I get the benefits of having a French door fridge on top and freezer drawer on the bottom. Same for all the other appliances I have too. I don’t expect them to last 20 years, but as long as I get 5 to 10, I’m ok with it considering the price I paid.

My brother printers have been working fine for many years, and at least as of 2021, the MFC printers did not need a subscription.

Maybe things have changed and I haven’t needed to buy anything in the last couple years.

> Under the Energy Act 2008 operators of new nuclear power stations are required to have secure financing arrangements in place to meet the full costs of decommissioning and their full share of waste management and disposal costs. These arrangements are set out in a FDP.

I do my work on Apple Silicon laptops since the first M1 came out.

I use Docker Desktop that can run for me amd64 images as well.

I do run Splunk in it (which is a very enterprise product, written mostly in C++), I was so shocked to see that I was able to run it on Rosetta pretty much from day 1. Splunk worked on macOS with Rosetta from day 1, but had some issues in Docker running under QEMU, now Docker uses Rosetta for Linux, which allows me to run Splunk for Linux in Docker as well.

I use RedHat CodeReady Containers (local OpenShift), which works great as well.

And I use Parallels to run mostly headless Linux to run Kubernetes. And sometimes Windows just to look at it.

In a first two years of Apple Silicon architecture I definitely had to find some workaround to make things work. Right now I am 100% rely only on Apple Silicon, and deliver my software to large enterprise companies who use it on amd64/arm64 architectures.
Nor in wind turbines, if you don't use permanent magnet generators.

If you can afford a max specced M3 you can also afford 2 RTX 4090 which should theoretically be faster.
I think the two videos from Velcro really hit the right spot between fun and educational.

I started watching the first video with a large amount of skepticism (soulless company paying millions to create viral video about something I couldn't care less about), but I really couldn't help but like both the videos and the company itself more now. Well done, I guess.
Public support for nuclear is a pure function of time since last disaster. The last one was in 2011 so in the public's mind we are back in "probably will never happen again" territory. However, we will still see more Fukushimas in the future (according to [1]). A 100X improvement in safety would really help the cause.

Did you know that the Five Eyes alliance (which the US is apart of), has been noted to spy on foreigners and pass the data to their governments to bypass laws around spying on their own citizens? These things cut both ways, foucault's boomerang and all that.

Also, why do you think it's ok to spy on people without oversight just because they are foreign? Everyone is deserving of privacy. If there is legitimate reason to spy, then obtain a warrant.
Yeah, I see this problem. And I found some solution for this issue. We need to promote coaching relationships between starters and experienced engineers.
