Maybe it's always been hit or miss but I remember the "old days" when I listened on the radio very engaged to the show while commuting and didn't have access to resources to instantly follow up and verify facts, and now I had to go after each episode to investigate further and ruin the experience myself or maybe I am over romanticizing a past that never existed. I think I wouldn't mind so much if the episodes were not so long no matter if they are good or bad in my judgement only, so the conundrum of having to screen each show didn't seem worth it for me. I agree with you on that low point, Lulu actively cheerleading the TedX speaker was distasteful at best, and it felt like Lulu was on every episode.
They exist, but they’re needles in a haystack. Especially if you exclude rural districts that aren’t cheap because they’re basically captured by the same folks who attend the country club the community’s centered around (there are a few of these, particularly in the Northeast)
The author seems to think the history of sex started with the novels from the Victorian era.

Men and women have been rejecting each other for sexual and other liaisons at least as long as there is been recorded history.
I would be very interested to read this. I found one comment in the abstract a little bit off-putting:

> Planck did not consider this a quantization, but merely a mathematical trick to be able to calculate the entropy of the oscillators.

My understanding was that Planck absolutely understood that his approach would have been a mathematical trick if he took the limit h → 0, but that in stopping at a nonzero small number he was explicitly aware that he was saying something peculiar about the energies in the system, and had strayed far away from that realm of pure mathematics into something that we would today effortlessly identify as quantum, even if that word did not exist at the time.
I mean, we do have solutions to this problem. You use them every day. The problem is that, unlike air travel or the military, nobody can say "everybody must do it this way". So, a lot of people do it their own way.
ISAs are smaller and less stateful and better documented and less buggy and most importantly they evolve much more slowly than software APIs. Much more feasible to clone. Especially back when AMD started.

> Board game rules fall under patents

Please supply evidence. All links in your comment relate to a patent to an invention where lasers are an essential part of the claims. I'm not convinced that rules alone would be patentable subject matter.

> we were required to give 10% of our tips to share with the back-of-house employees like bus boys

The places I worked

- busboys were not back-of-house employees; they were out on the floor helping take care of tables (bussing them, refilling coffee, making deserts, etc).

- the wait staff gave the 10% (or whatever it was) directly to the busboys. And some to the hostess, and some to the bartender; basically all the client facing staff.

I have no memory of the owners doing anything dishonest to the staff (at any of the places I worked), so either I was blind to things, or there _are_ (were) some good ones out there.

I mean Bay Area puts you near the big tech companies which is an interesting talent pool; their knowledge, experience and connections will have value beyond the skills needed for their day job.
One could easily adopt the idea that the history of science is "Some smart guy figured this out" over and over again.

The real history of science is: A lot of people became interested in problems and worked on theory and test apparatus and put their ideas into public discussion and eventually and sometimes suddenly we developed narratives and equations that explain observations. Along the way there was a lot of contention and conflict.
The argument about the App Store protecting users and being very helpful to developers would sound a lot better if not for the LassPass incident from last week and all the constant horror stories of app rejections.
My courthouse wedding over 20 years ago cost $75, had no showers, no attendants, no reception, and was memorialized only by a snapshot taken by one of the affable court clerks. I've never regretted it. The only way my spouse and I pulled it off was to keep our plans secret from our families. My mother-in-law resents me for that to this day.

Great to see that someone is being sane.

The "monopoly" arguments never made sense to me. I think, for the people who purchase phones, it's not like Apple put a gun to their head and forced them buy iDevice(s). They had complete freedom to choose between investing into alternative platforms.
I enjoyed Heinlein's "And He Built a Crooked House" which is a short story involving tesseracts and 4th dimensional geometry. It was published in the short stories collection "The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag".
you do not have beliefs about the one you love. seeing truth/reality is when you stop cheating on the one you love. so love becomes real when your hearts sees clear. and since this is not “fiction” but rather the Reality of your Subjective Experience that is the only thing you ‘know’ for a ‘near at hand, within sight, felt by heart’. Love always tames Reason. whether imaginal love, temporal love, or divine love. The former are shattered when they are subjected to ‘external reality’.

The acid test of true love for God is that Reality confirms it.
> The company is incentivizing that people move to areas with a high cost of living, but why exactly?

Is it? Are you better off if you earn more but live in a high cost of living area? I hear about people working in SF for the big tech companies but living from a car because they can't afford to live there.
This is extra silly because you can make what's effectively a checkbox look really nice and toggle-y. Although this is a bad example it shows that it doesn't have to be a square with a check mark in it: https://www.ranecommercial.com/legacy/hal/MobileHelp/Advance...

Apple used to see IBM as the bad guy but somehow they've become a thousand times worse than IBM ever was.
This is a great way to encourage developers to build the app that will show an essential use case for the Vision Pro.

It’s not like Vision Pro is a solution in need of a problem, desperately waiting for a killer app, or that apps built the iPhone ecosystem into the juggernaut it is now.

Apple doesn’t need developers, right? Right?
I don't think it was, but could imagine that as a Black Mirror episode. A bit similar to the social rating one.
All versions of CUDA support PTX, which is an intermediate bytecode/compiler representation that can be finally-compiled by even CUDA 1.0.

So the contract is: as long as your future program does not touch any intrinsics etc that do not exist in CUDA 1.0, you can export the new program from CUDA 27.0 as PTX, and the GTX 6800 driver will read the PTX and let your gpu run it as CUDA 1.0 code… so it is quite literally just as they describe, unlimited forward and backward capability/support as long as you go through PTX in the middle.

Off the top of my head it was postulated to be diesel fumes, equivalent mixed use motor vehicle traffic was not enough.
Yes, but there's a critical difference now. Now, the tech industry breaks many things at an unprecedented pace, and largely doesn't offer a reasonable replacement for the things that have been broken.

People can only handle a limited amount of loss within a given period of time before they start pushing back hard against further loss and consider those causing them harm to be forces of evil.

There's also another factor that the tech industry is largely blind to: tech people tend to think that "we know best" and that pushing our ideas on the general public against their will is a Good Thing. But it's not a Good Thing, it's a Bad Thing.

Another thing we need to be doing is allying with the general public rather than dictating to them.
This is a classic appeal to nature.

The natural way of being a human for thousands of years was to hunt and gather, and then die before 40. But that didn't stop us from progressing past that point.
This event of release is however a result of AMD stopped funding it per "After two years of development and some deliberation, AMD decided that there is no business case for running CUDA applications on AMD GPUs. One of the terms of my contract with AMD was that if AMD did not find it fit for further development, I could release it. Which brings us to today." from https://github.com/vosen/ZLUDA?tab=readme-ov-file#faq

so, same mistake intel made before.
I agree with you entirely. It's hard not to imagine spending as much time with my son as I reasonably can. Even if he's a little challenging sometimes, it's really been one of the most amazing things I've ever been gifted in my life.
True.

It seems like an odd historical problem though. We could just render checkboxes bigger or with more white space around them, and make the touch area bigger in any case.
> Yup, FPGA recreating other hardware definitely fits the bill of emulation.

It really doesn't. The FPGA actually implements the target hardware, rather than using other hardware to produce equivalent behavior.

That's not to say that no emulation is involved, as not all of the functionality is actually achieved through the FPGA, but where it is, it's perfectly valid to distinguish it from emulation.

I know of no example in all of human history of a free market without a state, at least one of more than a short period -- so my position is very weak here, if you can show only one, i'd have to at least modify it. Yet, I bet you cannot.

Neutrally, using the term "anarchical market", i'd say that these markets are empheral. Everyone them has to act against rules which are not in their self-interest, it's highly unclear why a subgroup of market participants wouldnt immediately collectivise and outcompete everyone else.

Collectivisation is human's superpower, and the obvious an immediate thing basically everyone does (hence: mafia, warlords, cartels, etc.). It would be remarkable to see this anarchical market of yours remain free for very long, so I'd gladly hear of one case.

The main mechanism against collectivisation is that some biggest baddest collective decides to prohibit it (hence the state). There may be others, but I can think of none that would operate under anarchical conditions.
The Bay Area is not the USA, techbro.
This is a problem for forms where companies are legally required to follow the users instructions but may not want to. I find myself not trusting them to not pick deliberately unintuitive interpretations. Think the kind of designer that comes up with "check this box to receive transactional emails but not marketing emails", when an unchecked box leads to marketing and transactional emails.
Inventors only profit if and when they release — Patents allow you to cover the cost of research and development even if a profitable product does not materialise or is not profitable at the time of release. R&D is essential for economic growth, so the promise/higher-chance of a successful return at some point in the future, I think, this is a reasonable trade-off.
the hypocritical nature of companies that employ wage theft is something else too... companies like walmart, walgreens, cvs, etc are largely responsible for "organized retail crime" being showcased in the media... and they use this complaint when they close locations in poor neighborhoods and create pharmacy deserts (and to be clear, it seems to be a big lie)... but they'll try to get their outrageously larger wage theft settlements buried

many media outlets are complicit with this, and are either getting completely fooled by these PR tactics or simply don't care
Scams shouldn't be illegal as you're stupid if you get scammed, just get smarter idiots.
This is such a callous statement.

Maybe all their friends already died. Maybe they just were never social outside of their family.

Whatever the reason, nobody should have to go into a relative’s (or, really, anyone else’s) funeral and see it empty. That’s going to do nothing but twist the dagger of the death more.
Can confirm. There's no "no-hire lists" in the heavy construction, restaurant, and IT companies that I've seen.

However, in a small town, business owners may warn each other, and in a small bubble of companies, they may talk to each other.

And if you need a reference, better pick a fellow employee. Other than that, ignore the boogeyman!
No; in a 2 hour wake, there were probably 150 or more people in total. The awkwardness was mostly having to explain "yeah, you've never met me and he hasn't worked with us for almost a decade, but hey, here we are..."
"Approximate same cost of living" is incorrect: https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/rankings.jsp
And much lower incomes. We can go back and forth like this all day.

The point you seem to be missing is that it has never been the norm in the US for a 25 year old to own their own home. The closest we ever got to that would be the Silent Generation returning home from WWII and the veterans benefits we were handing out.

My parents (Boomers) rented a dumpy townhouse in their 20s and early 30s while raising two kids. They finally bought their first home at ages 33 and 29 with a 19% interest rate. Money was really tight for the next 5 years or so until my dad's career progressed. This was with a college degree and a management position. Life has always been a challenge for the youngest generation just starting out. Today's 25 year olds look at their parents and forget that their parents have had decades of wealth accumulation and career progression. They didn't start out taking trips to Hawaii every year.
I think something missed when these issues are discussed on sites like this is just how ignorant of computing the average user is. What would be obvious for us "oh it's not from official app store, so I know to apply extra scrutiny" isn't even describable in most people's mental model of computers/smartphones.

I don't want my loved ones getting scammed or hacked by people utilizing these new "freedoms". Why can't all of you sideloader/sdk/open source people just stick to android? why do you have to open the enshittification gates to every single platform?
Lol, the audacity of a for profit company with a proprietary and closed source stack
No, they haven't. Again, that's just you saying that because of their disagreement they should have their political rights removed. You are misunderstanding me, in thinking I'm misunderstanding him. I'm understanding him exactly, and I'm saying that saying you "don't really care about the preservation of the human species" is an opinion and that you and GP are bizarrely claiming that those with that opinion should have their political rights removed.

They may have read this article written by Near arguing that FPGA-based products are still (hardware-based) emulation: https://archive.is/fWosI

It's a well-written article, and presents a balanced view. Its stance is against the idea that FPGA-based emulation is always better than CPU-based emulation.

The price of bitcoin should generally not be considered newsworthy. There is no underlying value there, and engaging in this weird distributed Ponzi scheme is harmful to society. We can all do our part to help make it irrelevant by ignoring it completely, or maybe engaging in thoughtful conversations with the people who have been misled into thinking that this is a reasonable "investment".
Fascinating. As I read this, I was mostly wondering about how much time the students were spending on the admissions process for new students.

This guy was just one applicant, and he spent a whole week there by himself, and all of the students reportedly spent time dissecting and discussing his 50+ pages of essays and participating in his four-hour interview. How does that scale? It seems like this would be an all-consuming thing for a whole admissions cycle. Does the whole academic program just revolve around these essays? Or are the assigned essay topics directly related to what the students are studying?
How much do you understand about US state involvement with cartels? That’s a lot of optimism placed in bombs
"and nobody considers staying home to save that."

Some choose to stay home for other reasons.

I find it interesting how income tends to segregate with marriage, and how that exasperates some inequalities.

Having kids for those highly compensated dual income homes seems narcissistic when you get to the root of it. Like why have kids if we're outsourcing their raising to daycare and schools. The we only care about their accomplishments and leaving them with a large inheritance or paying for a fancy school. Then they go off to live mostly separate lives. Look at how well my kid is doing because I set them up in life, even though I barely raised them and rarely see them now. I don't know?

Per your last point, I worked at a very very very large Korean company for a while (In Korea), and when they had a meeting with the EU they would make sure they had some "흰 가구" (white furniture) - I found it quite amusing personally, others not so much.

So, one thing that surprises me about this article is the lack of mention of the tax authorities. At least in this country, hell hath no fury like a tax authority which thinks it isn't getting all the payroll tax it's entitled to, and it's one of the easier types of evasion for them to go after. Why isn't the IRS chasing these employers?
>Are there any rules prescribing (say) that a tour de France bike must use a normal (double triangle) design?

Yes. The UCI is the international governing body for most forms of cycle sport. UCI regulation 1.3.020 states:

For road, track and for cyclo-cross competitions, the frame of the bicycle shall be of a traditional pattern, i.e. built around a main triangle.

A complex set of rules govern the permissible shape and construction of a bicycle used in UCI-sanctioned competition, similar to the rules governing Formula 1 or NASCAR. These rules are shaped by competing and often contrary aims of many stakeholders - to ensure safety, to maintain the traditional aesthetics of cycling, to allow fair competition for less well-funded nations and teams, to allow equipment manufacturers to showcase innovative new products etc. The design of a modern racing bicycle is guided as much by politics as engineering.

I think it's worth emphasizing that, while Bartender does solve this egregious oversight from Apple - it also makes a number of enhancements to the top bar that are hard to write off as "bad Apple design". Even if the notch has never bothered you it may be worth your money.
That is unfortunately a risk that one has to balance when adopting new products.

It is also a reason that a product needs to be substantially better to get traction rather than just an incremental improvement.
