The fact that the U.S. immigration system is so obviously broken is the topic on which I am most vulnerable to conspiracy theories. It just makes no sense. From the Southern border to H1-B, it looks designed to anger and disappoint every single stakeholder (excepting the businesses who employ illegal immigrants for poor wages).
Another way of phrasing that would be "they've already sold to the enthusiast crowd, so who is left" and that who will be people the enthusiasts and Apple marketing can convince. Will those 200K each convince several others to go out and get one? Will Apple commercials do it? I won't be surprised if Apple sells a couple million units. That will pale in comparison to headsets like the Quest which cost what a mid-range phone costs and not what a high end PC costs.
Not only do they manufacture Apple Silicon, but Apple usually buys out the first runs of their new processes so they have a head-start against even other TSMC customers. I believe every 3nm wafer that TSMC makes is still going to Apple, hence the just-released Qualcomm SD8G3 flagship chip still being made on TSMC 4nm.
In 2018, 80% of the TSLA shareholders voted favor of a compensation plan that would pay Elon $56 billion if the company met certain goals.

As of 2023, these goals have been met, and yet, the judge will rule in favor of a shareholder who holds 9 TSLA shares that the plan is excessive and should be voided.

No. It was not.

The eight page study summary has the responses over three years broken down by the four groups in Figure 1, Page 2: https://fwp.mt.gov/binaries/content/assets/fwp/conservation/...

The only group that didn't change their stance of the years were wolf hunting licence holders; land owners and deer|elk hunters became increasingly in favour of wolves, the general population concurred.
We are now up to three wikipedia links and in none of those documents is the phrase "open compound word" used. An "open compound" is a group of distinct words. A "compound word" is a compound made of two more words that have been joined together to make a single word. There is no such thing as an "open compound word".

The person you responded to wrote "That is two words or a phrase". You replied "In a word: no. Specifically, it’s a compound word (singular)."

In this, the evidence you yourself have provided says you are incorrect. "nominative determinism", if it is a compound at all, is an "open compound", not a "compound word". It is an "open compound", and as such is made up of two words. The person you are refuting is correct. You are correct in identifying it as an open compound. You are incorrect in claiming that it is a single word.

I know this article is very informative, and I typically like to keep discussion substantive, but that artwork at the top really distracted me from actually reading for a good few minutes.

I don't really care of it's AI or not. The picture is just strange. The empty hoodie just standing by the window, watching a worker who is seemingly undisturbed by it. The odd placement of the desks, the fact that all of the text is gibberish, but looks just close enough to real that you pause to examine it. Except for the big "CHECK" on the wall, which isn't something you'd actually see in a real establishment that cashes checks.

More and more, I see companies using art that they would refuse to pay for if a contracted illustrator turned it in. Seemingly because it's AI, it's like they become blind to how bad it is.
The jarringly bad nature of my recent experiences with Lyft/Uber compared to Waymo has likely inspired some hyberpole, but - I have been an Uber and Lyft rider for almost 10 years myself. Back then I was at town meetings in Syracuse, NY advocating for Uber to come to town. I know the experience can be good, but it seems like over the last couple years the experience has gotten considerably worse on average.

Experiencing Waymo has also altered my standards. Now I really notice how often the car is dirty and unkempt, stinks of pot or cigarette smoke, or the tire light is on, or the driver is handling the car poorly. Waymo is usually the same price, and none of that ever happens. If they pull this off I don't see the business model for human based rideshare surviving unless the cost of AV rides skyrockets once they need to be independently commercially viable.

I also live right off the highway, so I think I am more prone to getting people who pick up my ride on the way to or from somewhere else and then get upset about where they have to go. Pretty much the only place I need an Uber to these days is over the bridge to the East Bay when BART is not realistic, which is usually because I'm in a rush. One of my recent trips I wound up late anyway, because the first driver who pulled into my complex explained to me "because the uber app gives me these bad rides" I should cancel the ride for him, and pay a fee, because it was so unreasonable for me to expect him to deliver me to the destination I had called the ride for.

Edit: on another bridge trip, my driver was excited to show me his 'tiktok famous' friend on his dash mounted iPad while we went over the bridge. Diamond driver, perfect rating, surfing social media with one hand and steering with the other. Maybe Waymo has just made me picky and most rideshare users now expect to share use of an iPad with the driver in traffic
But, in turn, "within walking distance" is exactly what is rendered impossible by a system in which every significant center of economic activity is required to have square miles of parking around it. It's sort of like a social form of obesity; it's clearly not quite as poisonous as the most vocal detractors say, but the sheer bulk does make it harder to move in what we might consider an optimal way.

Also, for what it's worth, you're citing "carry quarters" as some kind of dystopic microaggression to an elder millennial who was absolutely fucking thrilled to share a roll of quarters with his dad when we went to the local game store and crushed Sengoku on the nearest Neo Geo cabinet.
The better analogy is probably something like the Apple Watch.

Apple certainly wasn't the first smartwatch, but anyone who owned one before that was obviously a geek (said lovingly). Apple made the first mainstream acceptable smartwatch by smoothing over a lot of the complaints about their competitors, while adding some of their own in the process, just like the Vision Pro. It took a few iterations, but today people from all walks of life wear smartwatches. Certainly not as ubiquitous as smartphones, but Apple made smartwatches a standard piece of tech that millions of people own and they made plenty of money along the way.

The Vision Pro will probably be similar. For example, anyone wearing a VR/AR headset on a plane today would likely get stares. I bet a few years from now there will be several people on every plane wearing one of these. That doesn't mean Apple will make the best VR/AR headset or that VR/AR headsets will be a piece of tech that everyone owns, but Apple is capable of mainstreaming a piece of technology in ways that the Facebooks and Googles of the world aren't even if that is due to their marketing prowess and the strength of their brand just as much as their technical expertise. And in that sense, the thing that is more important than any of these reviews dropping today is the Super Bowl commercial Apple has almost assuredly bought to show this thing off in two weeks.

I hope Dart gets more support, I really want alternatives to TypeScript for developing webapps which aren't super "bulky" (slow startup, buggy and hard to debug) and support mobile apps. Dart seems to be the best at both although I haven't used it much. It also seems reasonable (one of the reasons I don't like TypeScript is because it still has some quirks from JavaScript like `===`, also because the types are occasionally wrong even in strict mode).
I find they usually are including SCOTUS decisions. I would encourage everyone to read at least some of them.

Apple had been sandbagging the Intel chips for several generations of macbook with anemic cooling solutions, poor thermal throttling curves, and fans that wait until the last moment to turn on. To the extent that the fastest CPUs available in Macbook Pros did not outperform lower models, because both became thermally saturated. When properly cooled, the Intel silicon tends to perform a lot better.

Additionally, both Intel and AMD manufacturer CPUs for HEDT and servers which are far beyond anything Apple is fabricating at the moment. Apple has no response to Epyc, Threadripper, or higher end Xeon. Similarly, Apple has no equivalent to Intel, AMD, and Nvidia discrete GPUs.

Apple made a quality cell phone chip, and managed to exploit chiplets and chip-to-chip interconnects to double and quadruple it into a decent APU. But it's still an APU, just one segment addressed by current x86 designs.

I don’t understand the specific objections to this plan. It’s too expensive? Old things past a certain age shouldn’t be restored? The quality of work won’t be very good?

Remembering Iain Banks: a prolific, terrific talent
I'm always surprised when I see people building businesses on any of the ccTLDs. The only one I would use is .ca, but that's because I'm from Canada.

There are no guarantees with ccTLDs and any problems that come up might be exacerbated by language and cultural barriers. Regardless, I have the .co, .me, and .io that match my best .com domain even though I'll never use them. I'd do the same for .ai, but it's too expensive.

Even the new gTLDs are iffy depending on your risk tolerance. In my opinion, the only truly "safe" domains since ICANN removed most price controls [1] are .com and .net. Also, many of the new gTLD registries are owned by Ethos Capital via Identity Digital [2] (Donuts + Afilias).

> In January 2021, Ethos Capital acquired Donuts after their failed bid to gain control over the .org internet domain. [3]

Similar to ccTLDs, I'd only register domains on many of the new gTLDs for brand protection and wouldn't use them or rely on them.

I wouldn't say to never use those TLDs, but I would use a strategy that only relies on them for shortening URLs and redirecting traffic to top tier TLDs. For example:

somecompany.balloons --> somecompanyballoons.com

And never let a non-premium new gTLD registration lapse if there's a chance you want to use it. AFAIK, domains can't be reclassified as premium while they're registered, but they can, and do, get reclassified after expiration.

To set a comparison point, a bike helmet is around 3 times that weight.

Less weight would be better, but there's ways to embrace that and aleviate the issues ("have the product be true to its nature" to channel my inner Jony Ive).

I think the "overstimulation" thing is a bit of a sleeper issue.

At first people think "wow it's so awesome I can be sitting on the moon while I browse the web". But after a bit of time you just get tired, and I think it's precisely because your whole brain is working in overdrive to understand the unnatural environment you are in. None of this manifests explicitly but at the end of it, when people are faced with the choice of putting the headset on or not, they just "feel" like it's a lot of effort.

I say all this as someone who does regularly spend 1-2 hours working in Immersed with multiple giant screens up. And I love it as a break, a way to focus or just relieve the boredom of working in the same space day in day out. But even I feel this effect of it being tiring and not keen to do it for 8 hours a day. And the minute you say that, you lost the use case of this being your "only" computer / replacing your laptop, so it's actually kind of crucial to its central justification as a replacement for a computer or a 'new kind' of computer.

I don't think that was deliberate. Apple has a long history of not cooling their computers enough.

It would have had the same fate as the NVIDIA ARM deal.
There are many different reasons. Firstly, Apple built experience over a decade designing and building the chips, taking over more and more of the design and IP. Then making these chips at a Intel competitor TSMC, who has a different business model to Intel. Apple were also willing to compromise. The first years had weird experiences for customers with Rosetta, broken apps and Macs that could only drive a single external monitor and connect to few devices. Yet we clearly saw the power efficiency from the better foundry tech at TSMC, coupled with decade of saving watts for mobile phone batteries.
Maybe it doesn't make sense to have duplicated services for the city. I grew up in Tucson. There's a zoo, but it wouldn't really make sense to have 2 zoos. Likewise with the Sonoran Desert Museum. There are also unique locations to visit. There's 1 Titan Missile Museum. There's 1 Old Tucson Studios. There's 1 Biosphere 2. They are spread out on opposite ends of the city. There are a bunch of hiking spots that are all different, and people don't want to go to the same one over and over.

Then you have things like the air force base or the university. They're important for the economy so you may work at or near them, but for the most part you don't really want to live directly adjacent to them. Fighter jets are very, very loud all day long (my mom lived where you could see the runway right behind her house when I was a teenager), and the military is known to dump very nasty chemicals for their training exercises. University students throw parties, and there's more crime in the area. For a few years, I lived a little over 2 miles from the university, and I had my bike stolen out of my backyard. In the further out part of town where I grew up, that was completely unheard of. Some of the downtown parks are mostly full of homeless adults. The parks where I grew up were mostly full of kids/teenagers.

So there's reasons why you might want to live within a ~30 minute drive of a denser area with services or work, but without having to actually live near a dense area. And your day-to-day services are already spread across most of the city, so you don't need to travel for those. I get the impression that many cities have a similar dynamic.

Vision Pro is not earth shaking or category defining.

It's entering a crowded market that isn't even that big. As the premium option.

Climbing that hill is going to be a very tall order.

Apple's brand will not be a moat, either.

Zuck's initial response to Vision Pro [1] was the correct one:

> From what I’ve seen initially, I’d say the good news is that there’s no kind of magical solutions that they have to any of the constraints on laws of physics that our teams haven’t already explored and thought of. They went with a higher resolution display, and between that and all the technology they put in there to power it, it costs seven times more and now requires so much energy that now you need a battery and a wire attached to it to use it. They made that design trade-off and it might make sense for the cases that they’re going for.

> But look, I think that their announcement really showcases the difference in the values and the vision that our companies bring to this in a way that I think is really important. We innovate to make sure that our products are as accessible and affordable to everyone as possible, and that is a core part of what we do. And we have sold tens of millions of Quests.

> Of course, Tesla shareholders voted for the plan, but the judge found that “the defendants were unable to prove that the stockholder vote was fully informed because the proxy statement inaccurately described key directors as independent and misleadingly omitted details about the process." [0]

I think the argument was that the vote wasn't valid because the the voters weren't properly informed and that Tesla didn't actually try to negotiate too hard to get a better deal for shareholders.

That being said, I have no idea about the law surrounding this stuff, just trying to add more context.

How do you track them down if they're not neighbors?
It’s because the positions that talent may not exist for (but is needed) isn’t necessarily as profitable (and can’t pay as much) as other industries under the same program.

Basing on salary alone would mean ~100% of visas go to tech talent in major cities, and every other profession is cast aside.

That’s not to say that ranking based on salary within an industry wouldn’t be a potential improvement. Or modifying caps to be industry based. There are definitely options here that could be a bit more surgical.
And work visas should have built-in naturalization paths. There's no reason a highly educated, highly contributing member of society for the past 5-10 years should risk deportation if they get laid off, or, god forbid, quit due to working conditions.
