We all have abilities. Some of those abilities are anti-social and destructive. We use society, laws, regulations to set bounds on those abilities. Under these new regulations, it is clear that Apple would not be allowed to remove apps arbitrarily. That is why Apple is clarifying the conditions under which it might. You can through silly terms like “fanboy” around all you like but that is not the basis of why I said that Apple would not block apps outside the the reasons that they stated.

Edit: BTW - I’m not saying that I like all of the rules that Apple has proposed for handling alternate apps stores. Some of those rules are almost spiteful. They are clearly following the letter of the regulation more than the spirit and are stacking the deck in their favor.
The office used to also be a status symbol. Ever seen a waterfront tech office with glass walls and ping-pong tables?
Growing at the rate of inflation only matters if your market is capped out. Like, say Soda makers.

If you either create a brand new market, or are taking on a drastically undeserved market... you absolutely need to be growing faster than inflation. Or your brand new company would be worth $1 the first year, $1.03 the second year..
Life expectancy has historically been skewed downwards by terribly high infant mortality rates, not by masses of folks dying at say 40.

If half your population dies after 60, the lucky ones, and half before 2, your average "around 30 ish" life expectancy isn't particularly predictive.

I fairly strongly disagree, gaming on Linux has come a long way but you are still at a mercy of a compatibility tool like Proton.

So if a game updates breaks something or the dev just happens to add something that isn't compatible (which has happened enough to make it here) than you may not be able to play the game you want until it is fixed.

Also add in that if you are not on SteamOS and you want to play games outside of Steam it is more difficult for non technical people (or just people who are not as up to speed on that part of Linux).

It really isn't there for most people when you can run Windows (like the LTSC version that I do) and have no compatibility issues.
There's been lots written about this but this is my opinion.

Bulldozer seemed to be designed under the assumption heavy floating point work would be done on the GPU (APU) which all early construction cores had built in. But no one is going to rewrite all of their software to take advantage of the iGPU that isn't present in existing CPUs and isn't present in the majority of CPUs (Intel) so it sort of smelt like Intel's itantic moment, only worse.

I think they were desperate to see some near term return on the money they spent on buying ATI. ATI wasn't a bad idea for a purchase but they seemed to heavily overpay for it which probably really clouded management's judgement.
I don't remember how I uploaded the binary into the chip now - I might have used avrdude but I couldn't swear to it. But either way I don't remember it being much of an ordeal.

(In the past I've tended to shy away from python-based tooling - I don't know enough about the language or its infrastructure to interpret the error messages when a jenga tower of code and dependencies falls over with messages about wheels or somesuch. I'm too old to have much patience with that kind of side-quest! I'm sure it's all a lot more mature and dependable these days, though.)
Why do you need to "register" your address? Why do you need any of this?

I've found that's the question to ask with paperwork.

For instance, France is also extremely bad regarding paperwork and administrative red tape and people are so used to it that many can't imagine that many of it is not actually needed for society to function. I noticed when I moved to the UK: Suddenly all that was absolutely necessary to protect civilisation and the Republic (I only exaggerate a little bit) did not even exist and everything still ran smoothly.

Telling example: During the Covid lockdowns, the French administration decided that people had to fill and sign an official form to keep on them every time they left home. Basically "I swear that I am only doing my daily excercise. Date, signature" to be shown to any police officer who might ask, or "zut alors" you're nicked.
The units worked well in treating you to pay to their real owners. Now the devs are busy in different fields treating another silly useds to support capitalism.

Those outlets are usually low amp, slow charge. I mean a majority are still USB-A, and now you have to take an adapter with you. The whole thing is ludacris for a majority of people, they have other priorities for what they pack and how the hassle they are willing to accept for a movie. Parents are a non-starter, AVP is a selfish device for disappearing into your own world, parents have kids to keep an eye on. I personally would not want to be completely closed off from the cabin, first it's fucked up for the cabin crew to interact with, second I am now partially blind AND deaf to my surroundings. FOV is limited, and I doubt those cameras are very capable at low light.
Curious re Porkbun, what were the negative aspects of your experience?
Namecheap has gone downhill imho meaning it is no longer the best discount registrar. Meanwhile some more registrars have popped up in the past five years that have better service and are cheaper. Porkbun is one. I also had great experience with namesilo. The only reason I could see people going with nanecheap is they already have an account there or they listen to other people who haven’t evaluated the registrar situation lately.
Lmao, salty much. I literally pointed out the same issue for Android as well; there is a sandbox, can I trust it and if not then why not?

The discourse is on why we accept that browsers can sandbox websites but we can't place the same amount of trust in sandboxing of apps and historically Android has been better at that than Apple because they actually allow you to do it in the first place, the caveat being that it's not really made clear if this is "safe" or not.

Apple is one step behind Android on this but they're _both_ many steps behind making it transparent to the user that "installing any app from anywhere is as safe as visiting any random website".
Well, something can be functional only as long as the hypothesis made on the operating environment are relevant. After what it becomes broken by obsolescence.

If a device relies only on fundamental physical hypothesis, surely it can certainly go pretty far. Look how pyramids are still great landing facility to this days. Too bad that the hi-erratic art of building the matching spaceships was lost since then — but that’s how it goes when you run for the high sophistication in your design.
That’s the whole point of the lawsuit. The shareholders allege Musk came up with the proposal, controlled the process, then lied about it to shareholders. The judge found in their favor after a trial.

Maybe people have been gaslit into thinking that being an ""elite"" is somehow a word of shame rather than something one should be proud of?

Anyway, all this comes down to power, both in terms of market power and the social relations between manager and employee. The elite knowledge workers have something that is a critical factor of production for many businesses. Since this thing - knowledge, a form of fixed capital - exists inside the human mind and is extremely time-consuming to transfer, it has to be leased from the employees. Since it's in relatively short supply that commands a high price.

But that scarcity also converts into other forms of market power: the ability to set non-monetary conditions of sale on the knowledge.

This upsets the social relations of the office, because managers are used to being able to micromanage and physically surveil subordinates. The idea that an employee can set boundaries radically upsets American managers. Next people will be asking for holiday.

The reverse of this is of course at the very bottom end of the market: if your boss can change your shift pattern at the last minute, if you're on a so-called "zero hours" contract, then that's because you're deemed utterly replaceable and have no market power.

You bring up the concept of time.

But is there a proof that time exists?

I can "remember" something, but that act of "remembering" is happening in the now. I don't know if there really was a past.

When I look at "Hello", I don't remember something at the same time. The shape of the four "Hello" letters are all I can hold in my mind. So from that perspective, "Hello" might be all there is and all there has ever been.

> The truth is that almost all papers published across almost all fields cannot be replicated, full stop.

Isn't it ironic that we can't replicate your assessment?...

I personally have no idea how much papers can be replicated or not, but replicating an experiment would not guarantee that the idea/conclusion in the paper is sound (ex: paper extracting some data, observing a correlation and concluding it is an implication).

I do agree that it should be made easier to replicate for the fields where this is possible, but there are many other problems.

>Not sure what good that would do. I keep a few checks in a travel folder and have a couple pads of checks in different places around my house. I don't necessarily write checks in sequential order.

Yes, I understand that scenario where the checks are not written in exact sequential order by the account holder -- nor are they presented to the bank for clearing in exact sequential order by people trying to cash them.

However, when the last real check I wrote is sequence #3374 and the fake e-check hitting my account is sequence #1687557289469, that's an arithmetic difference of 168 billion checks!

We're not talking about a fudge factor difference of +/- 50 in check numbering because real people write paper checks out of sequence. We're talking about basic sanity checking for fraud. E.g. Do bank account holders typically write billions of checks such that the simple subtraction of 2 different check sequence numbers is billions apart?

Here's the crazy part... The Bank of America website UI for online banking already visually warns you when it detects a out-of-sequence check # gap! It just doesn't use that existing logic to stop payment on an obviously counterfeit echeck.
Where all of today's Lorentzes and Poincares?
I agree in the abstract, but not with the specifics. You can be tricked or misinterpreted a couple of times and deserve the benefit of the doubt, but you no longer have an excuse when your company has this long of a pattern of being user-hostile.

Microsoft has been criticised (and even sued) for these practices for years. At a certain point you have to accept they are doing it on purpose. Anyone inside the company who decides on or implements these features and is genuinely surprised by the backlash is either unbelievably naive or unbearably incompetent. It’s been going on for too long for plausible deniability.
The 5.1 GHz Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 185H is the replacement for the 5.4 GHz Intel Core i9-13900H Processor of previous year. Both are 45-W CPUs with big integrated GPUs and almost identical features in the SoC.

No liquid cooling needed for either of them, just standard 14" or 15" laptops without special cooling, or NUC-like small cases, because they do not need discrete GPUs.

Both CPUs have the same microarchitecture of the big cores.

If Intel had been able to match the clock frequencies of their previous generation, they would have done that, because it is embarrassing that Meteor Lake wins only the multi-threaded benchmarks, due to the improved energy efficiency, but loses in the single-threaded benchmarks, due to lower turbo clock frequency, when compared to the last year's products.

Moreover, Intel could easily have launched a Raptor Lake Refresh variant of i9-13900H, with a clock frequency increased to 5.6 GHz. They have not done this only to avoid an internal competition for Meteor Lake, so they have launched only HX models of Raptor Lake Refresh, which do not compete directly with Meteor Lake (because they need a discrete GPU).

During the last decade, the products made at TSMC with successive generations of their processes had a continuous increase of their clock frequencies.

On the other hand Intel had a drop in clock frequency at all switches in the manufacturing processes, at 14-nm with the first Broadwell models, then at 10-nm with Cannon Lake and Ice Lake (and even Tiger Lake could not reach clock frequencies high enough for desktops), and now with Meteor Lake in the new Intel 4 process.

With the 14-nm and 10-nm (now rebranded as Intel 7), Intel has succeeded to greatly increase the maximum clock frequencies after many years of tuning and tweaking. Now, with Meteor Lake, this will not happen, because they will pass immediately to different better manufacturing processes.

According to rumors, the desktop variant of Arrow Lake, i.e. Arrow Lake S, will be manufactured at TSMC in order to ensure high-enough clock frequencies, and not with the Intel 20A, which will be used only for the laptop products.

Intel 18A is supposed to be the process that Intel will be able to use for several years, like their previous processes. It remains to be seen how much time will pass until Intel will become able to reach again 6.0 GHz in the Intel 18A process.
the domain i was looking at is $1.80/yr so im not upset at the price, and its just for silly personal stuff so if they increase price i could just switch to something else.

good to know about the risks of price hikes though!
Heh that sounds like the workers worked from home while management had to go in.
Thanks for the explanation! (edit - this was meant genuinely, not sarcastically)

Academic papers often include an introduction which summarises the context in which the paper is written. Consider https://arxiv.org/pdf/2201.03545v2.pdf where the paper says "For many decades, this has been the default use of ConvNets, generally on limited object categories such as digits [43], faces [58, 76] and pedestrians [19, 63]. Entering the 2010s, the region-based detectors [23, 24, 27, 57] further elevated ConvNets to the position of being the fundamental building block in a visual recognition system."

This shows the authors are familiar with the field, avoids inadvertent plagiarism, allows them to make it clear precisely how their contribution contributes to knowledge, shows people from funding bodies that this is a cutting edge and important field of research, and points readers in the right direction if they want to see earlier ideas, or ideas in a more applied context.

If among those 92 citations should be a few papers from your boss and your colleagues, nobody will see that as unusual - as long as they're at least marginally relevant.
I think you’re giving the editors too much credit.
There literally is.

Because it’s better for gaming.

I say this as someone that doesn’t care in the slightest about gaming OR Windows. I just fail to see what this “pretend that a vendor that you don’t like isn’t offering anything of value” attitude ever does for anyone. It certainly doesn’t add to the conversation in any meaningful way.

Yeah and it seems to have that one flaw that ultimately kills it's biggest benefactors at least over generational scales, the money always flows uphill until the end (revolution) unless some countermeasures like progressive taxes, democracy, and social programs are put into place. That's why I respect capitalism as a part of society but not as the sole determiner of someone's status as a human being that should at least have a chance of a decent existence. I would counter that systems like anarchism (they will always be crushed by forces from within or without) and communism fall flat on their face every time except on small scales not bigger than a modern small town or less modern village.
No PDF invoices at that time.

Qualifications of truth are often written into the paper too tho, so e.g. in biology paper people will cite studies, but then explain their mitigating circumstances and context and how they need to be balanced with other studies.

So while I agree that generally citations are a statement of claim and the reference given allows people to see if that statement of claim is actually supported, within the paper itself good authors also explicitly weigh the "truth value of a proposition".
In the previous H-1B registration system, employers could submit multiple registrations for the same beneficiary (employee). This increased the chances of selection for that beneficiary but potentially reduced the fairness of the process. So, this makes things fairer to an extent.

CloudFlare domains is a bit of an underbaked product, it's not bad but you should be aware that you cannot change your root nameservers . They must be CloudFlare. The only way to change them is to switch registrars.

Check tld-list.com and porkbun.com when looking for a domain to register, you'll often find cheaper than elsewhere

That said, I wouldn't use a registrar that didn't have good reviews, and I'd look at security policy, privacy policy, renew price, features list, and support options. Sometimes it's worth paying more.

After you have the domain, if it's important to you, try to get support to change it for you or recover your account without a valid email address. You'd be amazed how easy it is to compromise many registrars through support.

And set up auto renew... Once it's gone, you'll regret it.
Maybe not definitive proof, but interacting with other agents in your universe (I.E the rest of us) and sharing experiences could prove that the universe is bigger than just you and the words on your screen.

Then you slowly start to realise that all of this activity on Earth could be happening on other planets elsewhere too.

Then you observe the stars, and combined with the mental models/theories from our brightest physicists, you might conclude that the universe is really fucking big, and there must be a shitload of other Earths out there.

But again, we can't really prove it concretely can we? For all you know, i'm an NPC and so is everyone else. You could the subject of an alien crackintro - where they try to simulate whole worlds in 100 bits or less.
What about taking them with a grain of salt? Just because something is approximate that does not mean it is not useful.

I never got this obsession with detailed rankings. Sure "above average" and "under average" makes sense, but position x or x + 1 out of 10k does not make much sense anymore (and by similarity if you are 1 or in the first 1k out of 10k could be similar)
> 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?

Lots of things if people thought about it for more than 10 seconds. Why do you think the US has such uniquely bad work life balance even in white collar sectors? And those educated people are in the top 1-2% of their home countries. What’s it going to your country to import a bunch of foreign elites with chips on their shoulder?

If what you care about is maximizing profits for Fortune 500 companies, then yeah, maybe it’s a good thing.
Is there no way to have the best of both via some specified revisitation of the spec, or sunsetting of the original provision? It seems like a sunset period of 5 years would enforce the global switch without a permanent lock-in. Potential downside is that it might hamper development of alternatives, but that’s also the point.
> Is that because people want to adopt it, or is it being mandated or encouraged as "best practice"

Its because its the simplest, fastest way to get compute for non realtime bits of code. Its much less hard to deploy stuff to, and its really simple to trigger it from other services.

A lot of things in FB are communicated by RPC, so its not really "web" fucntions that run on there, its more generic ETL type stuff. (as in system x has updated y, this triggers a function to update paths to use the latest version)
