Smuggling will always be a job for those low on the totem pole. It's dangerous and needs to be inconspicuous.

No, this ship is meant for crazy parties and expeditions. Amusingly, just because it may happen to contain a ton of drugs for their personal consumption doesn't mean they're trying to smuggle anything.

That was my experience when I visited to California when traveling to the USA. I remember a nice town called Santa Cruz, with really nice parks in Google Maps, but once I took a walk in one of them an it was super scary, full of tents and homeless people that seemed either drug users or just bad in their head.
Wow, I remember when it was announced, to press materials gave the impression that it would be closely integrable with macOS. I was picturing using VS Code from within it. Which I guess I could do if I set up VNC... but I'm not paying thousands for that.

Is an AR productivity tool really so hard? Apple owns the whole stack here. Nintendo can do Mario Kart AR in your living room with an RC car, but I can't get unlimited AR desktops for software development etc?
If so they'd be wrong to think so.

In a weird way, I think as we're getting better access to information, keeping a clean image as a politician is way harder. Being openly dirty and overwhelming the audience with the dirt until the overtone window shifts becomes a more viable strategy than pushing for a cleaner agenda and have it burned through the ground with all the contradictions that emerge from being a politician in the first place.

I see a light at the end of the tunnel with people getting more engaged in the pressing issues and being more vocal in aggregate. Getting a better mix of sheer individual input and elected representatives could be a way out, we could accept that they're scumbags but genuinely act under our input, even if at times it will result in stuff like Brexit.

It seems like you think I'm trying to dunk on Apple. I am not. Apple Silicon is a great first showing for them. Performance simply isn't better than Ryzen APUs running in the same power envelope. And power usage is what you'd expect of silicon running on the latest node. Further, some of Apple's choices - bringing memory on package, only two display outputs - caused regressions for their users compared to the previous Intel offerings.

I wouldn't call what Apple did innovation - they followed predictable development trajectories - more integration. They licensed ARM's instruction set, Imagination's PowerVR GPU, most of the major system busses (PCIe, Thunderbolt, USB 3, Displayport, etc), they bonded chiplets together with TSMC's packaging and chip-to-chip communication technologies, and they made extensions (like optional x86 memory ordering for all ARM instructions which removes a lot of the work of emulation). Incidentally, Apple kicked off it's chip design efforts by purchasing PA Semi. Those folks had all the power management chip design expertise already.

But again, it's been a good first showing for Apple. I think they were smart to ship on-package DRAM in a consumer device. Now is about the right time for the CPU to be absorbing DRAM, as can be seen by AMD's 3D VCache in another form. And it's cool for Apple folks to have their own cool thing. Yay y'all. But I've run Linux for 20 years, I've run Linux on every computer I can get my hands on in that time, and through that lens, Apple silicon performs like any x86 APU in a midrange laptop or desktop. And as regards noise, I never hear the fans on my 7800x3D / 3090Ti, and it is very very noticeably faster than my M1 Mac. Apple Silicon's great, it's just for laptops and midrange desktops right now.
Also heard about shipfast on twitter and reddit. Twitter is big for promoting solopreneur stuff like this.

On a side note, LinkedIn has a lot of frequent posts if you follow certain projects. LlamaIndex is killing it on this front. Lots of great stuff and they even teamed up with Andrew Ng with advanced RAG techniques on deeplearning.ai

I think that says as much about those other companies as it does about Google. Namely, that despite Google's reputation for having become a bloated bureaucracy, there are in fact economies of scale happening at Google, and in fact it's those other companies that are bloated. 8,000 employees for collecting and searching logs? 5,000 employees for a data warehouse? Even accounting for the share of sales, marketing and G&A employees that contribute to Google's equivalent products, I'd be shocked if Google has anywhere near as many employees working on these things.

In fact it's even worse than that. A lot of Google's employees are dedicated to maintaining tools and infrastructure that Google built up over decades and hundreds of thousands of engineer-years because "the cloud" didn't exist when Google started. These other companies get all that "for free" (or rather, for nominal pay-as-you-go fees -- but certainly without the massive engineering investment that Google put in over the years) by building on AWS, GCP, or Azure. Without public clouds and the vast growth in open-source cloud infrastructure tooling, those other companies likely wouldn't be viable businesses.

For me, it was pretty simple: I packed up and moved to a walkable city (which meant leaving the US). The only way you're going to get a walkable city out of a non-walkable US city is to completely change the zoning laws, eliminate the free parking and making driving horribly inconvenient and expensive, then go through a cycle of death and rebirth as the city largely dies out and then gets revitalized a couple decades later. I don't want to wait for this process, and I don't even see any serious action this way anywhere yet; I'll be dead of old age before there's a decent number of walkable cities in the US.

Your assertion is that there are <= 24 lawyers, in the entire United States, that are qualified to handle a hobbyist software developer receiving a C&D?

I’m sorry, that just doesn’t sound at all credible to me.

It almost cannot be accurate by definition. There is no legal service that a hobbyist could _ever_ afford if there are <= 24 qualified specialists in the United States.

I agree. I'm being ruled by an exploitive construct.

It's just, it always comes about. It's made of people, and whatever mechanism you are contemplating, it too will be subverted.

I haven't come up with any alternative. Just think reducing regulations would mean more pollution, more stealing. We've done less laws, less regulations, and the world was pretty awful. It's a balancing act. You need people to drive on the right side of the road, and obey traffic signs, but you also don't want government telling you how to set the dinner table. How much control do you give up?

In this specific case, P(redOnKthSample) = (numberOfRedSamples + 1) / (totalNumberOfSamples + 2) = (1+1)/(1+2) = 66% red.

On the second draw, if the ball is green, then you get P(redOnThirdSample) = (1 + 1) / ( 2 + 2) = 50%
The most important thing about this:

int x;

if (x < 42) { assert (x != 12345); }

isn't to have a checker is clever enough to know that the assert will not go off, but to be informed that the automatic variable x is being accessed without being initialized!!!

Just because I don't see a use case doesn't mean I'm unilaterally stating a use case doesn't exist.

I'm simply stating my opinion as to why this device doesn't suit me; to be more precise I'm stating why somebody else's use case is not my use case. Why do you assume my comment is supposed to generalize to everybody's use cases?
Define a type guard using a "type predicate"[1].

For example:

type UserId = `user_${string}`;
type GroupId = `group_${string}`;

const addUserId = (id: UserId) => {
// do something
}

const processId = (id: string) => {
if (id.startsWith('user_') {
// type error here:
addUserId(id);
} else if (otherCondition)
// do other things
}
}

Instead you define a function:

const isUserId = (some: string): some is UserId => some.startsWith('user_');

Now you can use it as follows:

const processId = (id: string) => {
if (isUserId(id)) {
// no more error:
addUserId(id);
} else if (otherCondition)
// do other things
}
}

I'm curious what aspect of the code generation you find clunky. When I used Dart, my issue with the code generation was that it didn't "just happen". With C#, anything that's being generated just happens without any involvement from me and it happens basically instantly. With Dart, I was left running their build_runner manually. Plus common things like json_serializable then require you to add methods to wire up the generated methods (partly because you can't have a factory constructors outside of the class definition, but I don't know why they don't just wire up toJson() as an extension method).

I guess I'm trying to figure out if you just dislike having generated files (where you can see the code) or if you dislike how Dart does it (where it's a bit of a clunky process).

this is a very old topic and also a very current, present day one.. Solutions exist that may not seem obvious in the modern context, because the world you and I live in, is so different than the past.

In my own experience I have negotiated sales or contracts with others for non-trivial sums. It feels like most modern people are just going along with systems that require an intermediary and working devices. I feel it is not only important, but crucial, to have the ability to negotiate directly with a peer or others. That means without electricity or cell phone coverage, too. YMMV

"Intel’s argument is that backside power will make chips much easier to design, since the power is separated from the communications layer, eliminating interference"

That makes a lot of sense to me: that's how and why PCBs are usually designed as they are. How true it that there is an actual advantage vs TSMC?
Intel stopped making good chips for the things Apple cared about: efficient, cool designs that can run well with great battery life in attractive consumer products.

Apple "sandbagging" was them desperately trying to get a poor Intel product to work in laptops they wanted to be thin and light.

Even today though their designs haven't really changed all that much--in fact the MacBook Air is actually just as thin and now even completely fan-less. It just has a chip in it that doesn't suck.

Check out narco submarines - they have people in the jungles of Columbia building submarines that they pack with tons of cocaine (literally), which are discarded after a single ocean crossing. In general, it seems to be more economical to ship illicit materials with cheap/disposable vessels and vulnerable/impoverished people, rather than risking an expensive yacht to government seizure.

Apple should've called this a dev kit to save face, hedge bets, explain the price tag, and most accurately represent what this is. It clearly does not belong in prime position on apple.com yet.
Just wait for them to get a little older and you'll probably have a wave of motherboards dying in the future like what happened with the MBPs from around 2011 - 2013 with apple denying it for years until the threats of class action lawsuits before offering replacements with other motherboards that also fail.
I remember when they did random stuff like the whole IoT push (frankly, their offerings made no sense to humble me .. Microsoft had a better IoT than Intel).

I strongly believe that developers should not ship across an array of distros. First because you probably don't test on them all.

Really, that's the job of the distro/package maintainers. As a developer, you provide the sources of your project. If people want to use it on their respective distro, they write and maintain a package for it, or ask their distro maintainers to do it. That is the whole point of the distro!
The foreigners with special skills for which it's really hard to hire someone in the US, even for a lot of money. Maybe if you agree to pay $1M / mo, you'll have them leave their current jobs and flock to you, but will your business still stay profitable?

Hence the idea of prevailing wage, and paying somehow above that.

This of course creates an avenue to game the system, because prevailing wage for basically any work in SF or NYC is likely higher than on average over the entire US. You can undercut local markets a bit by bringing in smart people from abroad, and paying them less than they would make in SF or NYC if hired as locals, but more that the country-wide average.

(Smart, hard-working, educated people from underprivileged places get a chance of having a better life while working to improve the US economy! What's not to like?)
I learned Rust over the last year, to write some scientific simulations. Since, you can just call C++ libraries from Rust with minimal overhead, there is no real reason to not write in Rust.

Also, if you want a Python interface for your library, PyO3 allows you to call Rust from Python naturally. It definitely needs better documentation, but otherwise its quite good.

This a a great example of good work getting 'upstreamed.' The go-to solution for using requests and urllib3 in the browser had been Koen Vossen's 'pyodide-http' package, which you'd install in PyScript/Pyodide and then call 'pyodide_http.patch_all()`. It monkey-patched requests and urllib3 to use the browser API's. [1]

Then 'pyodide-http' got adopted into the Pyodide-included packages[2], so you didn't have to specify it for install, just import it and run patch_all().

And now a similar technique has been incorporated directly into urllib3. (Not a direct port - as far as I know Joe Marshall and others did a full reimplementation so that urllib3's API's would be maintained as much as possible). [2]

Very cool.

Edit: Looks like there's a note to this same effect on Seth Larson's post about urllib3's future. [3]

I have rarely had individuals who want to get paid in cash (off the books). But although some businesses like my furnace company are slowly switching over to having portable terminals, in my experience, checks are still the default around where I live in the US for service people and the like. (And, as I wrote elsewhere, even things like local tax payments can have outsourced third-party websites which charge a fee so it can be materially cheaper to pay by check.)
I thought this was obvious since the dawn of the Internet! I have had "my answers" to the password recovery questions fabricated to a pattern since the days of Hotmail.
Since any use of the variable is undefined behavior, that's what we want to be informed about.

The reasoning about nondeterministic values should be spared for situations when it's other than undefined behavior. For instance, accessing an uninitialized structure member that came from malloc isn't undefined behavior. It's (I think) unspecified behavior. In an implementation that has trap representations for some types, it could hit a trap.
Double data point here.

It works well enough. It's a bit of a hassle to set up and you have to always run the file watcher and add the `part "blah.g.dart"` imports. I wouldn't say it's held me back but I'd be happier if the language itself was flexible enough to eliminate the need for this. I'd also be defining my own macros if it was easier to do.
I'm afraid any cleanliness advantage is temporary. People are filthy enough in cars driven by actual humans, can you imagine what they'll get up to when there's nobody at the wheel?
Maybe it's not clear to everyone... hot transistors waste more power as heat. It's a feedback loop. And it doesn't require liquid nitrogen to nip in the bud. Running the chip hot benefits no one. Kicking on a fan, and racing to idle without throttling would use less battery power.

I'm not sure what's so upsetting about the assertion that chips composed of a similar number of transistors, on a similar process node, cooled similarly, might function similarly. Because when all variables are controlled for, that's what I see.
It has the exact same app review guidelines as iOS and iPadOS. If you can't put it on those, you can't put it on VisionOS.
Everyone acts as though Intel should have seen everything coming. Where was AMD? Was AMD really competitive before Ryzen? Nope. Core 2 series blew them out of the water. Was ARM really competitive until recently? Nope. Intel crushed them. The problem for Intel is the inertia of laziness due to a lack of competition. I wouldn’t count them out just yet, however. The company’s first true swing at modern GPU was actually good for a first attempt. Their recent CPUs while not quite as good as Ryzen aren’t exactly uncompetitive. Their foundry business faltered because they were trying a few things never before and not because they were incompetent. Also, 20A and 18A are coming along. I am not an Intel fan at all. I run AMD and ARM. My dislike isn’t technological though, it’s just that I hate their underhanded business practices.
not directly related but strikes a similar chord, here in my country a lot of kids take up nursing so they can eventually get a job overseas. Once they graduate they need work experience before they can apply for jobs overseas so they work at local hospitals that give meager pay. Factoring in commute and meal expenses, they earn less than their living expenses. In a way, they are "paying" for this privilege of getting the experience necessary to move on and take a shot at a better life outside the country.
