From Ben Thompson (stratechery):

"The first thing to note is that no one — including Apple — knows if this plan abides by the DMA. This is, unfortunately, par for the course for the European Union. Regulations are passed that insist on certain outcomes, with various carve-outs and definitions, and it is up to the companies impacted to figure out how to meet them; only then do the powers-that-be decide whether or not said company is in compliance. This is, needless to say, an insane way to write regulations, but when you consider the E.U.’s insistence on contradictory end goals — increasing competition while insisting on an absolutist approach to user privacy, for example — you can understand how the burden ends up falling on companies to come up with their own solutions. This also, needless to say, opens up the door to massive loopholes (like the fact that Apple believes it can still enforce App Tracking Transparency restrictions on apps not in the App Store)."

Except the performance sailing cat is a nicer experience than any sub because you get to stay on deck, even if only for watch and work.

Performance craft = stripped down to weight as little as possible, adjustable bunks, no showers, no kitchen, the toilet is usually a bucket.

It's definitely not a given that a binary protocol + etc. will yield a "massive gain in performance" versus naive e.g. gzipped JSON over HTTP.
Well, you're wrong.

"A recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle, equipment, car seat, or tire creates an unreasonable safety risk or fails to meet minimum safety standards. Most decisions to conduct a recall and remedy a safety defect are made voluntarily by manufacturers prior to any involvement by NHTSA.

Manufacturers are required to fix the problem by repairing it, replacing it, offering a refund, or in rare cases repurchasing the vehicle."

The maintenance costs on this would be enormous! I sail regular old boring wind powered boats, and I have to admit, if I could afford this I'd probably buy it!

Saying that though, I have no idea how it would work legally in ports. I'm guessing you'd have to stay on surface in most territorial waters without some kind of crazy custom private clearance.

I live in Australia and I don't reckon authorities would be very happy if you decided to submerge in the middle of Sydney Harbour!
Great movie though. The Norton/Pitt combination worked really well.

You completely leave out that the trans-Canada highway has a six lane bridge, and a train bridge less than 5 miles east of the downtown peninsula, and there was a conscious decision to not route the freeway through the peninsula.

Any freeway through Vancouver would have to cut through all of east Vancouver and then the downtown core then Stanley park, and they would have to completely rebuild the lionsgate bridge since it is only three lanes total, and then tear out a huge portion of the residential neighborhood on the other side of the bridge.

Why in the world would Vancouver, which is on a much narrower strip of land want to do what Seattle did and divide their city in half so people can get to Whistler 15 minutes faster.
Can someone ELI5 what Broadcom hoped to do with VMware? And ideally non-snarkily.

What remaining product are they trying to save?

Intuitively, anything that blocks off a noticeable amount of sunlight will act as a light sail and need propellant to counter that effect if you want it to stay in place.
Depot [0] founder here. Thanks for the mention. We're also planning on bringing a bit of a different take to GitHub Action runners that's not tied to Hetzner directly. It will be entirely open-source as well, so you can take it and run it on your own instances if you'd like. Similar to how Depot supports self-hosted builders in your own AWS account [1].

Given that this has an M2 and a dedicated sensor processing chip the size of an M2 I have a feeling the power draw and heat generated would be unusable with a phone in a pocket. I bet they'll go in this direction with a non-Pro version in four years or so when chips catch up.

This is a perfect example of what I’ve been saying for a few years: Artists’ value is almost entirely in their ability to figure out exactly what should be in a piece to visually communicate an idea— not in their ability to make the pieces themselves. And it’s not even like this ill-conceived generated graphic is better than no graphic at all… Even in a blog post, the author’s lack of visual vocabulary makes the whole piece worse. Is not just AI— you can certainly buy the wrong stock photo, for example, but the photographer’s skill and the service’s curation makes mini golf out of a golf-sized task.
You can not innovate without competition. AMD will stagnate too without Intel or another company competing.

I am hoping Intel rights its wrongs so they can stay competitive. It takes a good amount of competition to keep businesses honest.
I think Qt's is "better", in that GTK's just streams pixel data to a HTML canvas. Looks like Qt actually streams the WebGL drawing commands to the browser, which does the rendering itself. Certainly that's still not super fast, as the drawing commands are sent over a socket, vs. directly to the GPU's GL driver... but presumably more performant than rendering in the app (even if using the GPU to do so), and then copying the pixel data into network buffers.

Either way, it's a cool feature in both toolkits. (Not trying to belittle GTK here.)
2x iPad Pro 11 inch cost 2x$800 = $1600 - and they also have big profit margin on those. A lot of tech and sensors are similar if not the same, like: Lidar, TrueDepth, Cameras, IMU, wifi, bluetooth, M2 chip. The only obvious thing not available in iPad Pro is much smaller and higher quality screen.

Hopefully they can reduce price to $1500 in next few generations and increase functionality:

- macOS support (We can only probably dream about it)

- usb-c / hdmi out so this can replace desktop iMac when connected to external monitor (still probably unlikely)

- 3rd party access to cameras stream if given permission - hard to make any innovation with this hardware if you cannot even detect QRCodes because Apple doesn't provide any API and you don't have access to camera feed.
Except when the iPhone came out all the reviewers were like "holy shit, this is mind blowing" while with this one everyone is like "it's a shittier oculus quest with some apple polish"
I think we should wait 1-3 years to judge.

If Tesla doesn't live up to the hype it created - and I believe there is virtually 0% chance it does - and the stock inevitably crashes - say 90% from here, will your judgement be the same ?
Look at all of the apologists here. Unconstructive, unprofessional, bully behavior is unnecessary, but the cult defers to Herr Leader.
Clarifying my first point: it's often possible to select amongst a range of quality/refresh options for a given display, either globally or for a given app (as with an Android e-ink tablet).

In which case, higher display quality (more pixels, sharper boundaries, deeper blacks, whiter whites, and less ghosting) tends to come with slower display response.

When you're reading static text, page-by-page, that's an acceptable trade-off. If you want to scroll, zoom, or pan through content, or are looking at animations or video, you'll want lower definition & sharpness but higher refresh.

And remember that once an image is displayed, it will persist indefinitely without further power to the display.
I assume Friction Stir Welding is getting more popular in aircraft partly due to easier verification.
It’s not just JS-oriented it’s React-oriented. So those JS-oriented folks that know Svelte, Vue, etc instead would benefit from clearly stating that.

Still, it looks cool despite not knowing React myself. I might take it for a spin when I have some free time :) thanks for building this

Not surprising given how the political class is connected to the capitalist class, at some points basically interests of the capitalist class determine the value of a labor in the current system. So labor that naively maximizes the corporations profits is more and more the only labor that has better than disgustingly low value in capitalist society. That's the magic of "free market" for you - the game is fundamentally rigged because of structural, systemic reasons.
A couple of tents is a camp. More so if there's a fire and a bit of a sing a long.

The implication being pressed in social media by anti-vaxxers was that it was equivilent to a Boer War internment camp, a German work camp, a Nazi death camp, etc.

That was, of course, just silly.
You are technically correct.

To interpret the observation a bit more meaningfully:

It's surprising how many problems can be formulated as continuous (!) linear optimisation.

And it is surprising how many problems can be formulated somewhat naturally as mixed-integer linear optimisation. And 'many of them can be solved or well-approximated quickly', exactly as you say.

---

I seem to remember that continuous linear optimisation is to P what integer linear optimisation is to NP. In the sense that there's some natural reduction of many problems in P to continuous linear optimisation.

(I don't remember if that's just an informal observation, or whether there's some formal way to reduce problems in P in eg linear time to linear optimisation? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-complete#P-complete_problems mentions Linear Optimisation as being P-complete, but I haven't vetted all the fine-print, eg about what specific reduction they are using.)
Macrotrends is a spam site which is full of completely erroneous data on almost every topic. Just look up their China demographic data - it's just laughable.

Russia has lower fertility rate than EU average, at 1.50 vs 1.53. And a higher and faster growing share of Muslim population than Europe.

Overall, death rate is about 1.37x more than birth rate in Russia (999.14 vs 728.02 per 100K in first 10 months of 2023 - link to official stats https://statprivat.ru/demo2020?r=3). In EU it's 10.7 vs 9.5 per 1000 (in a full year), so only 1.12x the difference. Births are 8% lower per 1000 and deaths, 12% higher. Plus, Russia has a higher proportion of Muslim population than any EU country and it grows faster too, so for white population situation is beyond dire: in ethnic Russian majority regions apart from Moscow and St. Petersburg, death rate at 2.5-3x the birth rate is the norm.

If you've been under impression that Russia somehow has some sound demographic policy and/or family culture and is doing better in this respect than any European country, you're just a victim of Putin's propaganda. Compared to EU states, Russia is only better than Bulgaria in this respect.
As others pointed out, TypeScript sometimes reasons `string & object` or similar as an impossible type and can turn it into `never` at any time. I don't exactly recall whether `infer` triggered that or it was a separate issue, but that was a major problem in my experience.
That would be true if we were actually aggressively targeting vital skills shortages but we aren't doing a very effective job of that and are instead bringing in people with less obvious reason to be here, that earn less money and exacerbate the shortage area problems.

I also have a philosophical issue with that line of thinking in that we should probably be figuring out how to solve our birthrate issue before we invite more people here because after a generation or two those immigrants also have lower than replacement birthrates unless they are in a strongly religious community (which is not really that exciting to an atheist who really enjoys civil liberties). There's no point in being an ecological sink for the third world, we should have policy and system in place that support the current population in maintaining itself and immigration should be extra to help fill in our underpopulated country.
I'm certain this is oversimplified and not really how nutrition works, but I always liked to think maybe eating more fat was fortifying the myelin sheaths around our neurons and preventing signal "arcs"
There’s the trans Canada highway that skirts around Vancouver. It’s the fastest route by far whether you are going into the city or through it.

The I5 meanwhile turns into the 99 on the Canadian side of the border, and goes right through the city. It’s a nightmare since it is officially a highway, but in reality just a surface street in the city.
It'll probably get get there, but it'll probably be a slow migration. After all, no point in tossing out all the Xeon that still have a few years left in them. But I believe Google is now also talking about or is already working on their own custom chip similar to Graviton now. [1]

Yep, my typical experience with flutter apps is having way more frame drops, and occasional bugs which lock up the entire UI and require an app restart. Thankfully I think google is moving towards just using the platform UI for most apps, though I can't remember where I read that so take it with a grain of salt.
> Can you elaborate a bit on “by default there’s more freedom on Windows” part?

1) You can download and install binaries without using an appstore and without going to some settings.

2) You can install offline and create a login that's not tied to a Microsoft account (but this requires typing special commands).

3) You can then download binaries from their store without a login (ex: to get Windows Terminal)

4) You don't have to pay microsoft money if you want to make programs that run on Windows (ex: crosscompiling to a win32 target)

5) You can run Linux in WSL2 after typing a few commands on a default Windows install

6) If you don't like Linux, Microsoft gives away most of what you need to write code (but I guess XCode is like VSCode)

It's not much, but I enjoyed that freedom when I was using Windows (and I couldn't understand why people could accept to use a Mac!)
One fun thing to do with a swarm of bug near a light is to take out your keys and shake them.

Keys will often ring in the ultrasonic and poorly mimic the frequencies that a lot of bats use.

If you have a population of bats that hunt near you, the bugs will typically just drop. Like, just drop to the ground as fast as they can.

They know the sound of hunting bats and your keys may be just close enough to that sound that they think they're being hunted. So they do the best that they can to get out of the way and go with gravity. At least, that's my theory.

Fun little thing to do as a bet or with the kiddos.
Those Ponzi schemes include practically everyone's retirement plans. Whether it's a tax-funded benefit or a private fund levered to the market it needs growth.

This is what narcissist enablers say: that some people are more equal than others.
Looks interesting. I use a similar stack. What made things a lot simpler for me was packaging the python app inside a nginx unit docker image. CI/CD was highly simplified...
Definitely. Advances in numerics in general, matrix multiplication in particular, and solving of systems of (continuous) linear equation and continuous linear programming are to computing what advances in basic material science are to engineering.

Modern concrete and steel (and plastics etc) allow you to build so much more advanced, but also simpler, than the kinds of wacky shenanigans people had to pull off in eg the 19th century just to get high pressure steam engines to work (if they could do that at all).
Just now I moved the mouse to hover over "Reply" while I was still reading the comment. It was close enough to where my eyes were focusing that I could put the pointer over it, but I never looked at it directly. I've noticed this kind of cueing behavior in screen recordings many, many times over the years. I'm sure most people do it without thinking.
Signal do some interesting stuff with SGX and remote attestation.

https://signal.org/blog/private-contact-discovery/

"Originally designed for DRM applications, most SGX examples imagine an SGX enclave running on a client. This would allow a server to stream media content to a client enclave with the assurance that the client software requesting the media is the “authentic” software that will play the media only once, instead of custom software that reverse engineered the network API call and will publish the media as a torrent instead.

However, we can invert the traditional SGX relationship to run a secure enclave on the server. An SGX enclave on the server-side would enable a service to perform computations on encrypted client data without learning the content of the data or the result of the computation."
US immigration is an absolute nightmare especially for Indians.

In Europe its simple. Job offer above minimum salary? Apply and get a blue card yourself. Has been in the country for over 5 years and speak the language? You get citizenship.

In the US its nearly impossible to get a Green Card. Forget how difficult it is to get an H1B visa in the first place because of the lottery system.

This has the advantage of having correct data for my location (84741) as well.
Sure.

Mandatory quarantine is still serious business though, and deserves to be seen as such. Two weeks can be a long time, even over a life time.

Some of these camps also facilitated spread among the denizens (particularly the ones set up in hotels). That's worth remembering.
Granted, sometimes you'll find an interesting article that even may send you on the hyperlinks journey across the wiki but there are accounts who just pump karma on Wikipedia.

This sounds like Google. Some bean counter is firing people left and right and somehow they think that's going to save them from the fact that AI answers destroy their business model. They need more people finding solutions, not less.

I maintain that the Vision Pro/its battery pack should have at least one displayport input. It wouldn't support keyboard+mouse sharing, true, but latency would be improved and you'd sidestep all the problems with accounts and locked-down work devices.

It seems like such a device _could_ be amazing for skiing.

Pilots use AR and skiing is a lot like flying. I hope this sort of technology gets so common in my lifetime that companies can bother to build it into legit ski goggles.
I think this would happen more often with people with many accounts and many checkbooks accidently using the wrong book after closing an account, by accident.
> it's not true, it's the opposite, demonstrated black on white in the financial documents

Which financial documents? Twitter is a private company now. How did you get access to their private financial statements?

Also, revenue != profit, and those numbers are estimated, as explained in the articles that you linked to. Those sources do not have access to the financial statements.

Net income for Twitter before it went private was -$221 million. That's a $221 million loss in 2021 before Musk bought it (public information, since it was a public company). 80% of the employees were fired and the system is still running. Why should those people have stayed employed and continued to lose $200M+ per year? Do you believe a company can continue to pay staff if it has no money?

This is something frustrating. When a mouse is connected to a MBP, there is a separate system preference for the mouse and trackpad. However, the natural scrolling switch from each one follows the other, yet the tracking speed is able to be set separately. It is yet another sign of the cluster fuck that Apple's OS teams are
The fact that they do is what makes them a safe bet to use. Better expensive and available than unavailable. One the most annoying features of hardware work is that whatever you base your product on tends to disappear in smoke just when you hit production.
AFAIU for 'heavy' 3D applications like AAA games the BW over the PCIe bus to the GPU can be a lot higher than what comes out of the cable to the screen. So just sending (compressed) pixels is not necessarily a bad remoting strategy.

Though for something simple like just rendering GUI widgets the opposite may very well be true.
And they probably have
