I strongly disagree with the word usually.

Usually can be applied to any used car category. Usually the bad owners dont maintain their cars. Usually the bad drivers dont care for the car. Usually the bad car manufacturers make bad cars.

I personally whenever rent a car, I try to keep it safe so that I don't incur any damage costs.

Drivera who drive bad, will not go out and rent a car to practice their bad driving thrills. They will do that in any car, rented, yours, mine, their own.

A good driver will drive like a sane person, or reasonable person. Rental or not.
>that they will happily charge 30% once they have more marketshare.

I don't know. They haven't done as much with UE or any other tools, outside of actually charging for non-games (I'm honestly surprised that the Mandelorian was able to be made with no kick back to Epic at all).

Historically Epic has been relatively lenient for how it taxes developers. Say what you want about Sweeny and Fortnite and the Games Store, but I can definitely tell he still takes pride and empathizes with being in the gamedev trenches once upon a time. Can't say that about too many other gaming execs of today.
I do not think it is possible to guess model behavior by just looking at the weights. My feeling is that this may even have a mathematical proof.

Your thought experiment is not really the same: it would require the model to be self-conscious, to understand when it expresses a behavior contradicting the expectations and to measure those patterns in vivo (what btw is neuron activation in case of AI model?)

They found a 2nd, different clipart, from the same original artist, with a different Y with the same Axe.

That proves that the original (Chinese) artist actually thought that the image is associable with Y, and they were paired before going on the ball, not someone (other than the original artist) picking the wrong image to go with a letter.

A good read. If I had to sum it up, it would be: don't let the search for knowledge/happiness/wisdom get in the way of being able to experience it in the moment.

"It took me a long time and am not finished learning this yet, oh Govinda: that there is nothing to be learned! There is indeed no such thing, so I believe, as what we refer to as ‘learning’. There is, oh my friend, just one knowledge, this is everywhere, this is Atman, this is within me and within you and within every creature. And so I’m starting to believe that this knowledge has no worser enemy than the desire to know it, than learning.”
There isn't a public market for iOS app distribution, and I don't see how you can force a business to create a public market inside its own products, or call it a monopoly when it doesn't. Does Disneyworld have a monopoly on food carts within its park?

That seems like a false dichotomy. Anyway, it's unprovable either true or false, because no evidence exists.

Let's just assert that it's false, then. Let's say 30% is unreasonable, and that iPhones would be as successful even with yet more unreasonable developer fees.

"In 2022 alone, the South Korean company sold almost 260 million smartphones worldwide."

Say there's a model that sold 10m total. I think it's fair to say Samsung could reasonably increase the price by $1 (~0.75c minus tax) for 10 years of support instead of ~3 years.

That's $7.5m. I used to flash Cyanogenmod on my phones (motorola defy etc.), IIRC it was often a single guy making the roms, I guess part time, doing a decent job of it. $1m/year for years 4-10 should cover a team of 5.

I think difficulties arose when newer kernals wouldn't work with the older hardware drivers that were available. But there's fewer SOCs than smartphone models.. I guess maybe $0.10 to Qualcomm for every SOC sale should cover updating drivers.

Not sure I'd want to be using a 10yo (2013) phone now, but a 5yo (2018) phone with fresh software would be fine. Todays higher-end phones should still be usuable beyond 5 years.

> How is it not subject to market forces? That doesn't make sense.

65% of domestic App Store revenue is on iOS, and the Apple app store is the only distribution channel. What market forces affect Apple's pricing power on commissions?

> Can you provide a legal document or explicit law that states "vertical integration is illegal"?

No, because like all things, it's about how you use it. Per the FTC - Exclusive dealing and exclusive distribution arrangements may be anticompetitive, however, if they are used to raise rivals' costs, exclude (or foreclose) competition, or facilitate tacit collusion. Exclusive dealing contracts may raise rivals' costs when the contracts are made with so many retailers, and lock up so much capacity at the retail level, that competing manufacturers are unable to attain minimum efficient scale in either the production or the distribution functions.

Apple is dealing with itself - maybe that argument holds in court (certainly has a shot with the current junta). It would certainly help if Congress would update the law for the 21st century. It's close enough to the line that it can be argued, and they are clearly nervous about it.

> How about this: Apple can charge Epic the same outrageous* 12% that Epic charges game developers. Do you think that would alleviate Epic's concerns?

Be mad at someone else. I don't know or care about Epic and I don't play Fortnite. I just know that private companies should not be able levy a tax or unreasonable tolls in restraint of commerce. It's hard to justify a 30% toll on 65% of a $100B+ market without at least knowing if a third-party marketplace would offer better rates and service.

As a hacker, I want those, too, but I’m not 100% sure I want that as a developer or user. It also has disadvantages.

Part of what Apple sell app developers is that piracy is hard on the App Store.

It also benefits developers and users that tweaking apps to cheat in games is as good as impossible.

A cloned or patched iOS that allowed users to install anything could change that by no longer checking app signatures.
Game consoles should be considered appliances, phones as general purpose computing devices.

I've had to fire people before. One time it was performance, but performance can be very hard to measure sometimes, so all I had was a vague "making too many mistakes" etc. This person had been on a PIP for a while, and had over a year to get it, but it just didn't work out. But I didn't have anything more concrete. The other one was literally just "our boss told us we had to fire one person, and it's you. Sorry. No better reason."

I feel like companies should just be more upfront about things like "hey, we over hired. This sucks. But you're fired. Here's a generous severance."
Very nicely done. Thank you!

Why do you say that? I like it and would recommend it to anyone.

Since I’m asking you to critique it I’ll go ahead and critique it myself, even though I’m overall positive on it. It’s aimed mainly at middle-aged business owners who are used to getting what they want and are, well, assholes. As such, its main message is to be nice and try to see things from the other person’s perspective. That’s good advice for the target audience, but if an already-nice 16-year-old picks it up I fear they run the risk of thinking the advice is “be a doormat,” which is not a good idea. (I read one review by a young woman who said she read the book and became a doormat. Yikes. Don’t do that).

That one pitfall aside, the book is chock full of good advice and imo deserves its place as a highly recommended guide to better people skills.

Google is terrible at doing UX and Samsung has had a chance to actually built a quality alternative app store. However all they have managed to do is to churn out unusable bloated apps like SHealth, SmartThings and Samsung Note.
One advantage of China's late industrialization was that they were able to snatch the best of both worlds. Since it was not standardized very well in the imperial era, the "Chinese inch" (寸) was simply defined as 1/30 of a meter, and the "Chinese mile" (市里) at 1.5 kilometers. The "Chinese pound" (市斤) is 500 grams, though the mainland divides this into ten ounces and Hong Kong sixteen. But American measurements are so ingrained that attempts to define the inch as 2.5 centimeters or the ounce at 30 grams — even though we'd all lose weight and get taller — would probably be as hard as simply converting to metric.

A law requiring hardware manufacturers to allow owners to run any software on their device would solve a lot of these Apple problems over time.

Thats the root of the problem. Apple has a monopoly on the social status associated with their devices, and leverages the monopoly in many unscrupulous and toxic ways. I consider Apple the most cynical and toxic of all the tech giants.

That is the correct answer to a different question
They're developer friendly because they're trying to get marketshare. They're competing with market leader in Steam which charges 30%.

Don't think for a second that they wouldn't charge 30% once they get enough market power. In fact, in the Apple lawsuit, it was revealed that the Epic Game Store was operating on a $300-$400m loss in order to acquire marketshare. Epic has to increase commission fees in order to break even and make a profit eventually. Epic isn't a non-profit.

Here's a preview how they might treat customers of their own app store if they have market power:

Epic Games, the company responsible for Fortnite, agreed to pay $245 million to settle FTC allegations related to in-game purchases. According to the FTC, the company charged parents and gamers of all ages for unwanted items and locked the accounts of customers who disputed wrongful charges with their credit card companies.

It can be in certain cases if it is in restraint of trade.

> if vertical integration is illegal in the USA, somebody should tell Musk he should split up Tesla and SpaceX.

How are those companies related in terms of market power? I don't see it. Plus, space is so capital intensive and reliant on government contracts that pursuing it would be pointless.
I think the parent is saying something along the lines of "if you can look at your problem and determine there's no need for an integrator, or you can take the need out using feed forward, then you can remove the integrator" (or set your integral gain to zero). Keep in mind though the integral gain isn't simply acting to take out constant error, it changes the transfer function of the loop.

If you have a mathematical model for the thing you're controlling you can derive the PID parameters using that model. That's very rarely the case though and even with a model reality almost always differs.

The PID controller doesn't "care" about your knowledge. What it does "care" about is how the system responds to the control signal, specifically with linear systems the gain and phase for the different frequencies. If you're tuning a PID using some heuristics then the process of tuning includes the response of the system you're controlling. So at least intuitively I don't see an easy way to take some partial knowledge of the system and incorporate it into the tuning process. Maybe someone with experience can say something like "using less proportional gain and more integral gain results in better <something> for temperature control systems where there's a lot of energy loss due to gradient" but otherwise there's no easy way to tell IMO. If the integrator doesn't help you're probably going to discover that in the process of tuning anyways.

I think this knowledge is more useful in the context of a feed forward, i.e. if you have a good model of how your system behaves and you incorporate it into the feed forward part of your control loop then the residual error is going to be much smaller and you'll get better performance.

my favorite part of the whole writeup was fairly banal: the breakout board used for the experiment contains a resistor that is used to maintain the board at a constant temperature (through PID) because the ESP32's behavior is temperature sensitive.
