Between failing eyesight (+3.5 now) and unsteady hands this stuff is way out of my league right now and I don't think I have to hope for a reversal on either. Maybe I could train one of my kids ;) Of course I could design a board and order that but that sort of negates the whole advantage. I liked the SODIMM edge connector format much better (and at 0.6 mm pitch it too is probably outside of my comfort zone, but not nearly as far and with some tricks I can probably do that).

The real reason I think I'm a bit disappointed is that Raspberry Pi stuff tends to the end of the hobbyist market where a low barrier to entry is what gets people into the devices and this one breaks that pattern it is simply an industrial intermediary product, not something aimed at end users.
Every streaming app has the option to have outside subscriptions or not allow in app purchases at all.

Yep, D terms are needed in systems where there isn't a natural dampening or reversing force that will naturally bring the value away from what your output tries to do.

I appreciate your sincerity here.

It is indeed emotional! This multi-generational effort kind of view is key to many people. And to them, building wealth for their children is the most moral thing they can think of. You're right to point that out and you saying it reminds me of a friend who said something similar about the topic.

My critique on this side is that the receiver of the wealth seems often to not be happy with it. I'm sure that is not true up to a certain point but past that, the trope of the meaning crisis in some way seems to be accurate from those I've known. I think the giver does not follow the logic to the end that indeed the giving is a gift to themselves and not to their children. They are granting their own dream at the cost of their child's. This is where I think the moral failing is.

I certainly believe in contributing what you can to your community and that those whom have the wealth should indeed allocate it as they see fit. I guess my question is in the wisdom of some specific allocations.

The generational economic parasite is not happy to be so but is made into the unhappy abomination. It costs both them and society.

App makers (and often users!) want dedicated buttons for services or apps they use on their phone home screens or menus. Apple has put considerable effort into having a standardized workflow that most users understand when it comes to installing a mobile app on their device: you access it through their App Store.

I would love for Progressive Web Apps to be normalized, and PWAs can do a lot, and you can also get a button for a PWA on your home screen, but the process to do so is odd/cumbersome, requires explanation for inexperienced users, which is not something that most companies that want a well-positioned mobile app are willing to tolerate.

And while PWAs on iOS can access some sensors, the API support is limited[0] and in some cases not supported at all. Not being able to capture links to properly direct users into installed PWAs, not being able to provide install prompts, background sync, etc. are considered serious limitations to people who are used to those luxuries available to actual iOS apps.

This is certainly the pragmatic approach to GPU memory in 2024, but I don't think it's a fool's errand. It's a solved problem on the CPU side of things, and I don't see any reason why we can't solve it in the GPU domain too.

You would absolutely need to prove to companies - your customers - that your vetting process - your product - is valid. How are you going to get it going if your only argument is "look, it's been 3 days and I'm still in business ".

As a hiring manager,you would literally be taking value away from me since I would be reaching a smaller pool of candidates and still need to interview them.

Utterly predictable. AI will be weaponized and anybody working on it is going to have to live with that knowledge. Consider yourselves part of the MIC from now on, no more bs about doing this for the betterment of humanity.

And to add to that: once any party figures out how to do this it is a matter of time before the rest does too, there is no such thing as a secret. The atomic bomb leaked and so will the recipe for AGI. So not only are you working for the MIC of your own country you are also enabling your future enemies.
Some perspective: we sell on Amazon as a 3rd party seller. Amazon takes about 9% of the sale price of our products as their commission (it’s actually 12%, but includes credit card processing). To which you might be inclined to reply, “Ah, but 9% is a reasonable commission, so that’s okay.” But we sell physical goods, which cost money to produce. It’s typical for our products to have 20-25% gross margins. So as a share of what’s left after accounting for the cost to produce and transport our products, Amazon’s commission is similar to Apple’s App Store fee.

Just something to think about if you want to argue that a 30% commission is too much for facilitating a high trust purchasing environment with customers who are ready to spend money.

Oh yeah, and you’ll never guess what Amazon’s policy is about steering customers off of Amazon.

I agree. As much as I disagree with the ruling the courts made, they definitely decided Apple was allowed to ban Epic for their store permanently, and so Apple's fees no longer are Epic's problem, legally speaking. Someone else would have to be willing to invest the funding on the legal battle, with pockets as deep as Tim's and the same willingness to go up against a Goliath... one that already won against Epic, and won't be bought out a special deal. Tim Sweeney was uniquely concerned with getting fair treatment for everyone here and that is shockingly rare in billionaire CEOs.

Here's an example of the same issue in Rust:

(with bounds checks) "Telling the Rust allocator to avoid zeroing the memory when allocating for Brotli improves the speed to 224 MB/s."

(without bounds checks) "Activating unsafe mode results in another gain, bringing the total speed up to 249MB/s, bringing Brotli to within 82% of the C code."

224MB/s -> 249MB/s (11% Brotli compression perf difference just by eliminating bounds checks)

I would probably have gone to school, gone into a different field entirely. Later on if I decided I hated it I could always shift over to software, but the opposite is not as feasible. It would have also probably helped my social life as well. I got independence young, but it came at the cost of isolation.

> There’s a reason they’re able to charge 30%, have a dominant market position in the US, and people continue to release apps for iOS (and prioritize launching there over Android).

I keep seeing this line of thinking in the comments (some may say these comments are conforming to a specific line of thought). When is the last time you used a modern android (Galaxy, Pixel, etc)? And really used it, not just tried to use your friend’s Android for a few minutes and then gave up?

I kept reading all these comments about how superior iPhones are on Hacker News. So after having used a MacBook (and being very happy with it over the past year) I bought an iPhone 14 to see if the iPhone also lived up to the hype. It doesn’t. It’s literally the same as an Android. There are no significant differences.

The gestures are a difference, but I kind of hate that about iPhones. You’re just supposed to somehow know these from tribal knowledge or reading something from some random thread (just violently shake the phone to undo typing, very intuitive!). After a couple months of use, I’m finally almost as good at using an iPhone as I was at using my Android. And once again, there are no significant differences. Of course, there’s a learning curve when you switch. But that should be expected. Give it 2 months, and then the devices will feel identical. They’re different, but in the end, they’re pretty much the same.

Edit: and btw, the same exact line of thinking can be used for Android. There’s a reason Google sets their App Store fee at 30%, and Android leads the market globally, and people continue to launch apps on Android.

I just don't have faith in US political and cultural stability anymore, and as such I don't have faith that the constitution will be upheld, or even that the US will remain allied to Europe, where I live(though I wouldn't go as far as saying it's unlikely. Just wouldn't bet on it).

Also, the US constitution clearly has very little direct say on the actions of the US military abroad, as history has demonstrated.
Reputation is a mechanism to escape the 'market for lemons'. Eg I know that Miele sells good stuff, and they are defending that reputation by continuing to produce good stuff, because it allows them to charge more.

Gresham's law only applies when someone forces you to accept both moneys at par. Historically, people would require discounts for the bad coins, when they could.

That's also why coins meant for an international audience where consistently of high quality, even when the domestic coins of the same issuer where being debased. (The Spanish dollar was a very good example of this. That's what the Americans used to use.)

And that's exactly because while you can force your own subjects to accept your coins, you have to convince the foreigners. Reputation is key. No 'bad money drives out good money' here. Just the opposite.

Arguably the U.S. courts are in the wrong here. We can only hope first sale doctrine is extended to digital goods in the U.S. in the future, as it has been in the EU for over a decade.

The estate tax is extremely avoidable through trusts and gifts before death. I've not seen any stats but I doubt many pay that 40% in any significant number - it would just be poor planning.

I am suggesting a 100% inheritance tax. As impossible to enforce as it would be. Why should someone have wealth by accident of birth? Children of the wealthy already have advantage from the upbringing bought by the wealth.

I only make this argument as a point of philosophy. It's completely infeasible because the values of society are warped here. Inheritance is virtue. Maybe the overtone window could shift a bit, though?

Fluorite lenses are incredible, but not a critical win until you get to high mag or up against the speed limits of your system. When it really becomes apparent is when coupled with VR stabilization, which can get you 4+ EV stops of speed. When the subject is that crisp, the chromatic aberration is significant, or, with fluorite, not. Interestingly, modern photography suites offer both correction of effects of lenses (e.g vignetting and pincushion) and chromatic aberration in silicon. Compared to where I started with a circa 1989 Nikkor 70-210 f/4 and film, the pictures I can take today are incredible. The real problem, for me, is editing down to a digestible number of eye-poppingly good shots. I imagine kids these days are thoroughly unimpressed, but I'm humbled by the incredible amount of engineering that has gone into photography.
If there is no fundamental difference, then did you just define the market as all phones, tablets, and pcs? If so the the iPhone is a small minority and can’t possibly be forced to change anything, right? You can just replace your iPhone with a pc if you want to install things?

And grocery stores are not even considered a monopoly!

Edit: which is not say that there should be an "is" vs. "ought" conflation. Just that it's unlikely that this situation is going to be changed through courts. Other routes: legislation and regulation to establish a new social norm, or as Jacquesm has been advocating here, collective bargaining. But as an App Store consumer, and a developer of other sorts of tools, I don't really care at all about the developer-Apple split and am not the least bit excited by whatever might happen should that switch to, say, 99% going to the developer. Even if developers dropped prices 30%, I would have a hard time caring!
> They're charging what the market will bear for a _vastly_ better product (iOS vs. Android).

I wonder how you see Qualcomm, being the crushing leader of mobile modem chips.
Perhaps you should discuss with this prospective client why she believes that she needs a website at all. Most services in this class do much better with a social media presence and someone to manage it: e.g., Facebook, Instagram, X, etc.

With a Facebook presence alone, she could reach most of her customers, and FB would provide access to help her build content such as multimedia posts, image collections, event announcements, and links out to such things as "Set an Appointment" or whatever.

A website these days is mostly static, passive, and not really on customers' critical path. It is much better for a business's reach if you can get customers to like/follow a social media account or three, especially if you have a savvy manager who will keep it alive, making regular posts, and hopefully even responding to DMs.
> a monopoly abusing its dominate market position

this is what happens when the company controls their platform. In the technical sense, it's not monopoly, but surely if you squint a bit, it looks like it.

This is why i am only ever going to produce web based apps. I will not buy into a platform - even android has the same issue, albeit less severe (only because google does not completely control the android ecosystem).
My understanding is PIDs are vastly preferred in situations where very often real world measurements have a degree of error in them. Like having the wheels of your car slip extra distance when you put your foot on the paddle for a specific amount of time. It's a feedback system of sorts.

If there's no error in measurements, sure, a mix of IK and blending seems to be a lot easier to implement.

> Is it just me or does this argument seem insanely flimsy?

I'm not sure if it is just you, but both the district court and appellate court are on board with it. And honestly, I can see why.

Apple argued that they provide a bunch of services and access to their IP in exchange for $99/year and a commission over the sales.

The courts have deemed that an acceptable business model.

The district court was hemming and hawing a bit over the actual commission rate being set at 30% (15% for small devs) and at the fact that some developers essentially subsidize others but ultimately didn’t make a ruling on any of that in part because Epic didn’t bring it up as an argument.

The appellate court, however, went a step further and stated in no uncertain terms that it was kosher.

If you think about it, it makes sense. We see similar business models with differential pricing all over in commerce for various reasons.

Sometimes, it’s for goodwill, sometimes, to reach customers that would otherwise be harder to convert into a sale, sometimes, it’s based on usage and who puts the most strain on a system and sometimes, it’s for more egalitarian reasons.

Military discounts, student discounts or even free usage, senior discounts, teacher discounts, first responders, etc. These are all examples of differential pricing.

In particular, the student stuff is interesting because the philosophy there seems to be that as long as you don’t make revenue from it (commercial use), “we” don’t need to make a profit from you.

> It’s like a toll road arguing "no, driving on the road is free of course, we just charge at the entrance and exit for the privilege of looking at the toll road".

I don’t think the analogy is apt, but we see similar stuff on toll bridges.
I’ve got a bridge near me where toll rates are based on vehicle type and axles.

While the pricing is slightly higher for commercial vehicles (e.g., trucks), it’s not proportional to the increased cost of upkeep those vehicles cause.

Edit: Also realized that only one direction is burdened with tolls. The other way isn't.

> What does it take for the legal system to be able to call BS on a claim like that?

A very carefully crafted legislative change, I suppose, if possible at all.

Currently, with SCOTUS’ refusal to take up the case, this is standing law, and it’s challenging to craft legislation that wouldn’t have reverberating effects across all of commerce while simultaneously only hitting Apple.
Hey, yeah the bar for adding finetunes will probably be that they're being hosted by ~3 supported hosting providers. Very much open to it!
Possibly, but it's not as abrupt and obvious as with JetBlue/Spirit, who both compete in the exact same market in modestly different ways. Alaska and Hawaiian have limited regional overlap with flights from certain west coast cities to certain islands, but beyond that, Alaska would be getting Hawaii's entire international route network and tying it in with their entire CONUS domestic route network.

The more interesting transaction that arguably should've been stopped was Alaska purchasing Virgin America as they were both largely west coast airlines. But amazingly enough (as someone who held status on VA and later Alaska), my flights actually got cheaper after that merger, and I was consistently upgraded too. So if that merger hadn't happened, my experience would've been worse.
