Many people choose to work on things with little impact even when presented with more impactful options. If you made even just a 5% improvement in how you select what to work on and you keep doing that every day, the compounding effect (one of the other points in the article) adds up over time.

I do wholeheartedly agree with your point of knowing when to quit. Need to know when to let go.
I don't know if you are making a joke, because the data says the exact opposite.

When the silent generation had 55% of the "total wealth" (and declining), boomers had 40% of the remainder, but now boomers have 55% (and climbing, instead of declining), and the younger generations only have 26% (combined).

It looks like they are still hoarding (for lack of a better term) wealth than relinquishing it.
Maybe, but I get it - the genres are different, and the tropes & conventions for them are different as well.

I like some fantasy, but I strongly prefer science fiction. It's not a value judgement, one isn't better than the other - I just like reading scifi more than I like reading fantasy, and I wouldn't particularly want a collection that combines the two semi-indiscriminately. (There are stories & novels that mix the two, and those can be very interesting, though.)

(Weirdly enough, I play D&D and other fantasy RPGs - but most games set in a sci-fi or modern setting don't interest me as much. Maybe it's harder to suspend my disbelief in Shadowrun when I'm vaguely aware of how hacking works, whereas magic is magic and I don't have to think about how a fireball works unless I want to.)
Is this relevant regarding consumer market importance for a brand?

If I recall correctly, in the matter of the Ukraine war, the US already folded no?
I found this difficult as well, so I ended up making this Google sheet to compare: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1belBpTKOPGaCC230l0ns...
The LKM post mentions binary size improvements.

One issues I have had with Rust applications is the huge binary size (yes, I know this has improved a bit lately). Is there a good comparison between kernel C and kernel Rust code in this regard?
You don't have to have a monopoly to be guilty of anticompetitive behavior, a monopoly simply means it's easier to be anticompetitive. Apple in the US has a roughly 50% market share.

I wonder if mapping index->directory would be the best match, that way you could at least hypothetically reclaim some of the SQL benefits, and the directory entries could have more natural names. You'd need to have slightly different structure for unique vs non-unique indices, but that seems like minor issue.
I loved The Calculating Stars.

Books do exist that are objectively bad, but consider that maybe this time - and other times - this is just a matter of taste. (And it's entirely possible that the folks who pick out Hugo winners don't match yours, and that's fine.)
Apple has non-monopolistic market share, but they bundle the Apple Music app on every iPhone (with nudges to subscribe, like the "For You" and "Browse" tabs), and they give Spotify a bad choice: either adopt IAP (with 30% cut) for subscriptions, or handle all subscriptions through the web, but they can't link to their website from their app. While you can subscribe to Apple Music directly in-app.

The "bundling" issue is about where the similarities to Microsoft begin and end (I can't recall if "bundling" was part of the problem with IE in the US too, or only in Europe, where it was definitely an issue and led to the "browser choice" screen).
If doing work involved with timestamps

Of course, any argument becomes much easier if you're allowed to just discard half the purpose of the thing you're arguing about. The Python datetime library doesn't just exist to record timestamps. From the actual documentation:

> The datetime module supplies classes for manipulating dates and times.

> [..] the focus of the implementation is on efficient attribute extraction for output formatting and manipulation.

Datetime manipulation is part of the explicit focus of the module. So why would you argue that we shouldn't expect said manipulations to be DST-aware?
I was also wondering what the heck that could possibly mean. I chalked it up to a journalist not being a true nerd.
Here's another - https://zerodha.tech/blog/working-with-postgresql/
I always thought so too, but I would say that they are merely relatively good products.
Although I don't like the UI, the UX, and the cost, I always thought that Apple products are objectively good, i.e. they are stable. However, I've recently learned from others that that's not/no longer the case.
> doesn't really seem relevant to me

Isn't this overly 'you' centric? Wouldn't this require access to your inner monologue? Doesn't seem like a referentially invariant supporting argument, to _me_.
My clever idea to explain this is:

It's a factory test script is getting triggered on the watch somehow.

It would normally be run near the end of the manufacturing process to ensure everything is working as expected. It automatically runs through a series of steps hitting a wide swath of watch functionality and would look a lot like someone rifling through a watch remotely. But a persons watch wouldn't have test data or factory password, so the script soon ends up getting the watch locked (or maybe that's just part of the test).

It could even conceivably type the message "We are in control" (though I have my doubts about that part of the story), because, as those of us who know some hardware verification folks, that's right where their sense of humor is.

Google Faces Major AI Challenge
It’s not a monopoly position by any legal (or really even useful) definition. In the EU they are 24% or so of phone shipments… This is more a “we want money from those users because they’re mostly rich” situations…
Neat to see this!

As the technology improves, I am skeptical of the necessity of sacrificing resolution. I can think of a half-dozen ways to improve on this as it moves from V0 to V1 to V2.

The video mentions post-machining, but aside from that, we have:

- More sophisticated media than uniform glass pallets. In particular, an outline could be preplaced, so it is more like casting. For example, one could have large glass pieces, smaller glass pieces, etc. arranged prior.

- Combined methods, where this prints the coarse shape, and slower techniques fill in details. This could even be the same technique but with successively smaller nozzles.

And simple process improvements (esp. refining nozzle design, temperature, and flow rate, so in some ways). I suspect moving from liquid to something more like extrusion, could help as well. Extrusion can be quite precise. Better process control, with some form of feedback loop, would help too. Imaging aluminum in realtime through the glass pallets in realtime should not be fundamentally hard.

By "not hard," I mean "known engineering process with known technologies" (e.g. solvable, but a serious multiyear engineering effort).

First press release + video I've seen from MIT which doesn't oversell / overhype results or grossly exaggerate potential impact. That's refreshing too.

Injection molding molds have precision requirements well beyond any 3d printing.

They're very expensive for that reason. It's hard even for precision machining.
The number of times very smart people seem to think having to alter a pile of UTC times because their associated region has changed their DST behavior is better than having local zoneless and just changing TZDB always weirds me out.
> orders of magnitude more demanding than selecting another operating system

Having switched from Apple to Microsoft Phone to Android and back to Apple ... I disagree. In that time, I've moved states and even countries. Moving is far less demanding than switching operating systems. Moving is pretty simple: you pack, move, then unpack; and you even get to keep all your stuff! Switching operating systems requires researching for similar apps, purchasing them again, potentially copying music/photo libraries using sketchy tools, hunting down tutorials for how to do things you don't know how to do, etc.
Just a random thought - maybe Musk was/is so hell bent on removing censorship because he wants more robust data, covering a larger array of thoughts, for his AI plans.
That's all only a problem when supply of housing is constricted, which it has been for generations in all urban spaces. Otherwise it's just wealth generation. It's also a problem when economic activity is limited to a handful of key urban spaces, but that isn't true. There are plenty of places to go make a good living. There just isn't anywhere to live.

There should be plenty of different levels of density for people to choose to live in as everyone has different preferences. What's not sustainable in any way is exclusive single family zoning. If, as so many backers of exclusionary zoning claim, people only want to live in SFH, why would we need a law to force that to be the only built form? Surely every single unit built of any other type would fail to find a resident.
I've implemented both in the last 6 months and the only reason I would expect anyone to use NFS over FUSE is for MacOS without macfuse/fuse-t. fuse-t is a cool project that provides (iirc) the high level fuse interface (libfuse) via NFS on MacOS. Compare to macfuse, which implements the low level interface (/dev/fuse) via a kext.

FUSE is much, much easier to work with. The protocol (even v4) should also be less chatty, and if performance is your goal there are projects like ExtFuse that can move some caching into the kernel via eBPF which I don't think would be possible with NFS.

If you poke around other user space file systems (sshfs, cephfs, objectivefs, etc) they're all FUSE.
Lots of excuses are possible. How about, folks use the web on other platforms right now.

Further, they publish all sorts of apps that other people make without inserting 600 APIs. So, no issue, almost by construction.
In the couple holding hands videos you see the people walking in front duck into a wall and disappear, the girl in front walks into the fence and disappears, another girl walks straight through that fence. These aren't just issues with forgetting, it completely doesn't understand how things works. It draws a fence but then doesn't understand that people can't walk through it.

Or the video with the dog, that dog phases straight through those window shutters as if they weren't there and were rendered in layers rather than 3d. It doesn't understand the scenes it draws at all, it had shadows from those shutters so they were drawn to have depth, but that dog then were rendered on top of those shutters anyway and moved straight through them. You even see their shadows overlap since the shadow part is treated differently apparently, so it "knows" they overlap but also renders the dog on top, telling me that it doesn't really know any of that at all and is just based on guessing based on similar looking data samples.

And this in videos handpicked because they were especially good. We should expect the videos we are able to generate to be way worse than the demo in general. They didn't even manage to make a dog that moves between windows without such bugs, that was the best they got and even that was had a very egregious error for a very short clip.
Nix is probably the best IT DevOps tool right now.

It’s cool for personal devices until you realise you’d rather be productive rather than hop into a terminal and text editor to edit a Nix file just to install an app.
Signed integers exist. What is hairy about using them?
It is an issue, there is not enough choice. I don't want apple so I buy an android but android is also flawed in major ways. There is just no winning as a consumer.

A 3d-printed mold could actually do that. It'd just be a destructive process -- the mold would not survive.

Ceramic is cheap enough that this might be okay.

Removal would be a pain. Probably some chemical which melts ceramic but not metal. Perhaps something mechanical which relies on ceramic being brittle to break it up. Dunno.
I mean, every business is anti-competitive. The only time the authorities step in is when they dominate markets to a degree where competition no longer functions. iOS market share is strongest in the states I believe at 57%, which is certainly high but not even remotely approaching a monopoly.
...and measurable IMO :) We need a way to know how much something understands.

Sand is cheap, and should be easy to 3d print, even for one-offs.

One, stock ownership, not total wealth.

Two, boomer share is declining after peaking around 2020. It’s flat-ish as they begin retiring. Gen X got screwed, but the pick-up among Millenials looks like a return to the norm. (Look at the Boomer/Silent share in the 1990s.)

Three, the generation on the precipice of dying, the Silents, are not the chief stockholders. Boomers still have decades to live. They’re not looking to eke out another year or two of growth at the long-term expense of anything, they need that decades-on value to bank on.

You may be forced to participate in it if you stay, conscription.

What would that be? You contribute to their economy meaning you are helping with all the bad things your government does
Correct :) it’s definitely a matter of preference. If your preference is shallow enough that you can switch depending on which of the two companies is being more evil today, that’s fine - but for the majority of people, which OS works best for them is a very deeply ingrained preference that’s not so easily tossed aside.
With the benefit of hindsight lots of things could have been done differently/better in many areas of life, especially war (and especially ww2).

I personally give a lot of latitude to the people who had to make those difficult decisions, with terribly incomplete information, that were literally life and death for hundreds of thousands of people at the time.

I can assure you now it is totally possible to create the same standalone UX on iPhone from the web more securely than using a native app... if Apple is forced to allow at least other browser engines to use web capabilities securely (just like they could do this on macOS or any OS is capable)

is it easy to create good web UX, not... most web desgners are not real programmers and most websites are terrible, I do not really use many web apps but plenty of them might be terrible now, too

but it all comes down to the developer behind the product... if you get less native offerings in the future (there are areas where native is better, it is actually also a good bot protection to require native apps) then your good programmers simply deliver good web apps to you and it actually will be the same UX only cheaper

interestingly enough, if everybody has to pay the apple tax and it is the user who pays it in the end, developers may just stay by native, no competitive pressure

one area is that smaller innovative apps from even sole developers may never come to realisation because it is expensive to pay android and ios developers...

I just checked lichess... it is a mixed website that is not responsive (on smaller screens terrible) but uses webassembly for stockfish, that is a plus

still one of the biggest expense is 1 or 2 app developers, if they did not get 500k donations they might not even exist because of app store restrictions... that would be a loss

actually they should have just invest that money to create a responsive design and maybe some offline functionality and they could deploy "apps" on iPhones and Android and actually on all desktops... but you might just want to use lichess as tabs there, one tab for analysis, one for broadcasts etc...

that is a good example how we might lose great small projects like lichess... and why we only have 2 greats chess sites, one getting 100 million dollar from subscriptions... it is simply difficult to create a cross platform solution even if the stockfish ai is free and open source

one monopoly creates others...

> it only talks about access to SDKs, specs of device ports, ability to make the same system calls

The Apple App store uses SDKs + system calls to install other apps, right? So, if you're allowed to sideload your own app store it should be able to do the same freely. So, the question then becomes about sideloading which I think you're supposed to be able to do freely as well.

Multiplying them together certainly magnifies the effect, but it would magnify it the other way if the likelihoods were larger than one. (Easy to get, just tweak the variance of the normal distributions to be smaller). Likelihoods are more like infinitesimal fractions of a probability, that need to be integrated over some set of events to get back a probability. In the case of the joint distribution of 50 Gaussian, you can think of the likelihood having "units" of epsilon^50.
