> Was ARM really competitive until recently?

The writing was on the wall 6 years ago; Intel was not doing well in mobile and it was only a matter of time until that tech improved. Same as Intel unseating the datacenter chips before it. Ryzen I will give you is a surprise, but in a healthy competive market, "the competition outengineered us this time" _should_ be a potential outcome.

IMO the interesting question is basically whether Intel could have done anything differently. Clay Christianson's sustaining vs disrupting innovation model is well known in industry, and ARM slowly moving up the value chain is obvious in that framework. Stratechery says they should have opened up their fabs to competitors, but how does that work?
> They watch the middle one whilst the other 2 are stale and only get the occasional peek. This super-multitasking idea is a myth and not how people work.

But.. that's the point. Of course 90% of the time you look right in front of you. Everything else would be tiring.

The advantage of a multi-monitor setup, or spatial computing with Vision Pro, is that for those 10% of times when you need to do something else, that other window is right there. No need to alt-tab through a bunch of apps to find your log file viewer. It's always there, just a glance away, and you can cross-reference multiple windows without them overlapping another.

The technology of what we see with Meta/Vive/etc VR headsets, as well as what with see with Apple Vision, will be nothing more than a pair of glasses so light you will hardly notice it

This is what it will be like in 10 years. The current generation (teens and adulets) wondering around the streets with their head sinked to their phones, will be replaced wearing "specs" 24/7.

In the next 20-25, I would not be surprised if it becomes no more than contact lenses.

Monitors will likely be a thing of the past.. even giant TVs in the living room. Same for (physical) keyboard and mouse, being replaced by IR equiverlants being as good/responsive.

The technology is not there, yet. This is a glimpse of what our everyday will be, and in the working office.

Interesting to see where it goes.

A new generated code alone is 4000 lines long [1]. The actual code added is just 2000 lines, and some are used to pay debts, I mean, to make a proper code generator. It is debatable whether that generator should count in the number of lines, since you can always write a generator in a simpler scripting language (for example, Rust uses Python to generate the `unicode-xid` crate). In any case however it is far less complex and, in my opinion, much smaller than the entire C parser proper.

> Did it have a material change on the outcome of the vote?

Potentially, yes. Stockholders did complain about the proposed grant even with their incomplete information; who knows what they might have said if the disclosure were more complete. From the opinion:

> The two largest proxy advisors, ISS and Glass Lewis, both recommended voting against the 2018 Grant.

> [Specific details about the objections from ISS/Glass Lewis]

> Stockholders also criticized the Grant, noting that Musk’s Tesla equity provided sufficient motivation for Musk to perform, the Grant’s size and dilutive effects were excessive, the EBITDA milestones were too low, and that linear milestones were inappropriate for an “exponential company” like Tesla.

If the stockholders knew that the directors were not independent and/or that there wasn't a substantial negotiation and/or that (some of?) the planned targets were not that ambitious, then they may reasonably say no to the grant.

> the board went alon[g] with it

The board was not independent. There were nine directors on the board, but one left early, so that leaves 8. Elon is one and his brother another. Antonio Gracias and James Murdoch have close personal ties to Elon, and the former is also very heavily invested in Elon's businesses. Ira Ehrenpreis also has a "weighty" relationship with Elon and is also invested in Elon and Kimball's business ventures other than Tesla, though not to the same extent as Gracias.

The first 3 (Kimball, Gracias, and Murdoch) were determined to lack independence from Musk due to their close personal relatioship - 4 out of 8, and that doesn't include Ehrenpreis' personal ties.

In addition, the judge found that the board didn't act independently either. Some of the members themselves testified that they were working together with Musk during the negotiations - hardly a sign of acting independently of their personal ties.

> and the shareholder approved

That was determined to be irrelevant due to Tesla making material omissions in the proxy statement before the vote.

> The fact that a judge can come in and completely reverse such a decision is mind blowing and seems more like a judicial activism.

That's the law. If you break the rules it's not unreasonable to be prevented from reaping the rewards of doing so.

It does for apps running on the goggles themselves, but the Mac integration feature just shows the Mac's screen as one window, kinda like Remote Desktop on Windows.

And this is a quite hard limitation, since the Mac has to actually render those windows and then stream them to the goggles over radio. So, without quite a bit of magic, you have a limited amount of pixels the Mac can draw and send.
I guess it depend on what model we talk about. I considered the M3 the "base" model so we're talking $1600. Then M3 pro is $2000 for the 14" and $2400 for the (which I include because there is no M3 14"}

The Max prices do start to hit $3500 but by that point these are essentially top of the line builds instead of the bare minimum cost of entry.
I don’t think the 3% was an annual metric; instead they simply looked retrospectively at cohorts of subjects whose VO2 max was down by 3% or worse, stable, or increased by 3% or better. The outcome measure over a mean of 6.7 years was incident prostate Ca.

Importantly, the study says nothing about how the subjects achieved this result or whether it was an active process at all. The author’s comments and the first sentence in The Guardian overstate the actual findings. It’s reasonable to assume that purposefully pursuing a cardiovascular fitness regimen aimed at improving VO2max will reduce your prostate Ca risk but the study doesn’t address that.

Well, it's no Retina screen. I'd say it's bit like reading text on a 1080p CRT at 96 dpi.

It's perfectly doable, but there's still a hint of fuzziness and we're still a couple generations away from crisp LCD text.

I care about my eyes, so I use a 4k screen at 2x scaling for coding, and will not use the Quest 3 for work, unless that involves playing games and watching videos.
> You're at limits of TB4 _very quickly_.

You don't need to send every pixel for every frame uncompressed.

It would be more like VLC, not sending pixels that aren't changing. And you don't really need 100Hz either. You can't read that fast anyway, the content could refresh lower than that as long as the actual window is moved at 100Hz to avoid nausea.

I really doubt the Mac display functionality as-is is refreshed at 100Hz with full pixel fidelity without compression. WiFi can't handle those kinds of speeds reliably.

> In a walkable city you go by a store every time you go outside

I'm all for designing for walkability, but this is a case study in failing to understand audiences. If you make this not just a possibility but a requirement of walkable cities, many people won't want to live in your "walkable" cities at all.

There are much better arguments possible here. For instance, you could promote CSAs for regularly delivered farm-fresh produce, or establish efficient grocery delivery services that use one vehicle to deliver to many many customers, or other potential options that don't involve regular car trips for grocery shopping and don't involve spending an appreciable fraction of your day shopping.

Hah - I recently built a USB - ADB adapter around a RISC-V MCU (CH32X035) in Rust. The design of the 'rtos' borrows quite a bit from Oxide's Hubris, but I haven't spent much time implementing supervisor functionality, memory protection works though.

One thing that's nice about the CH32X035 is that it can run at 5V so it's trivial to interface over ADB - you just need the pull-up. It has some internal level translation for the USB data pins.
As it seems to me, it's highly depends on the kind of material you're trying to memorize and the cause you're trying to memorize this.

What usually works for me when I'm trying to learn something new:

- I write down or retell what I have just read. From my experience the ability to reproduce what you have just read with your own words extremely increase probability that you will be able to do this later.

- I try to build some kind of system from the new information: A depends on B, B depends on C etc. Sometimes I draw it with diagrams, but most of the time explicit conclusion of what types of things and connections between them was mentioned in an article is more than enough.

- I try to connect the new knowledge to my experience. I realize that this may not work if you need to memorize something like Maxwell's equations, but it's still possible to build links to what you already know OR ask right questions and learn the missing pieces that help you to build a bridge to what you already know.

So, you may improve your habits of how you consume new information to improve your memory.

If I need to remember something like shopping list I just write it down in notes and don't worry.

> It's interesting to see the heavily growing demand graph. Is that because people want to adopt it, or is it being mandated or encouraged as "best practice" etc?

FaaS is well justified from the point of view of an infrastructure provider. You get far better utilization from your hardware with a tradeoff of a convoluted software architecture and development model.

In theory you also get systems that are easier to manage as you don't have teams owning deployments from the OS and up, nor do they have to bother with managing their scaling needs.

It also makes sense in the technical side because when a team launches a service, 90% of the thing is just infrastructure code that needs to be in place to ultimately implement request handlers.

If that's all your team needs, why not get that redundancy out of the way?

Nevertheless we need to keep things in perspective, and avoid this FANG-focused cargo cult idiocy of mindlessly imitating any arbitrary decision regardless of making sense. FaaS makes sense if you are the infrastructure provider, and only if you have a pressing need to squeeze every single drop of utilization from your hardware. If your company does not fit this pattern, odds are you will be making a huge mistake by mimicking this decision.
"Je" in slovene also translates to "is" in English. Since adverbs are written before verbs in slovene, it's a nice hack to use http://okusno.je (a recipe website), which translates to "[It] is tasty".
> To reduce latency, a common approach is to keep a VM idle for 10 minutes or longer after a function invocation to allow for potential reuse [45]. In contrast, if a FaaS platform is optimized for hardware utilization and throughput, this waiting time should be reduced by a factor of 10 or more, because starting a VM consumes significantly fewer resources than having a VM idle for 10 minutes

This seems somewhat surprising in such controlled environment. Why does idle function consume so many resources? If I think a normal Linux system, an idle process doesn't really consume much resources at all

I mean it's been over ten years since the new generation of VR headsets (I'm thinking of the Oculus Rift) came out; if at this point in modern VR development it wouldn't be better than existing offerings, I'd be deeply disappointed in Apple's R&D.

Anyway, I bring that up because when the iphone came out, it really did do something different than the locked-in feature phones of the time; I did have to look it up to refresh my memory (https://www.cnet.com/pictures/original-apple-iphone-competit...), but its competition in that year was a lot of Blackberry-style physical keyboard and resistive touch screens running Windows Mobile. I do want to highlight the LG Prada, the first capacitive touch screen smartphone - came out in the same year the iPhone was announced, and it along with the HTC Touch on that page had a similar screen focused form factor.

It also reminded me of another piece of evidence for the difficulty in computing to name things:

Keyboard have had the keys F1, F2, and so on since at least the 80s. They are called "function keys", and modern PCs have 12 of them.

Then some time during the 90s (I guess?) laptop manufacturers decided they needed to squeeze more functionality into ordinary letter keys, and invented the a new key to enable the alternate functions. Obviously, then, they had to name that key "Fn", for "function".

On my work Dell machine I can press "function function 1" to mute or unmute the audio, for instance. Fantastic.
Because I don't care about the technical limitations. I care about if it's a useful gadget for me or not. It doesn't matter why a feature isn't there, that just becomes a "you're holding it wrong" thing.
