What a disaster of a product. This isn’t a true Gen 1 product in the sense that the iPhone was. Apple waited an entire decade after the Rift was released, and released a headset that didn’t leapfrog the industry in any meaningful way. Steve Jobs would have shitcanned this months before the announcement and told his team to go back to the drawing board. Do I think that 5 years from now Apple will have a worthwhile product at a reasonable price point? Maybe. Maybe not. But to expend all that social capital on a device that sucks is really destructive to the brand, as is the insistence that it gets to collect tens of billions a year in rents because it owns the most popular computing platform for most people.
It seems to me that they’re criticising the AI-generated covers on the principle that all AI-art is terrible for human artists and human-art; and it shouldn’t have a place in the world.

Does their study define populism somewhere? Skimmed it and I have no idea what it really means. Would Wobblies be considered populist? If you think free trade should be extremely gated by Western style human rights standards (gender equality, free speech, free religion, if not representative government) is that populist? Or is the term just being repurposed as code for isolationism and xenophobia?

I heard about a test someone did, after wondering how their dog was always standing in the window at the end of each workday, anticipating their owners arrival home. After casting about, a theory was developed that the dog "smelled time". That is, as the day wore on, the scent of their owner, decreased in the air; at a low-enough concentration, the dog knew it was about time for the front door to open and their owner to arrive home.

To prove the theory, someone went to the owner's work at noon-time, and gave him a new shirt, collecting the one he'd been wearing for half a day. They took that worn shirt, and swirled it through the air back at the house; recharging the owner's scent in the air. The dog was asleep and away from the front door, and surprised when its owner arrived home at the normal time.

I think you are over reacting.
Windows is usually the side that causes problems, so if you stayed out of it or supervised the updates that could be why.

The most common killer combo is that Windows tries an update, reboots as part of it, and the reboot unexpectedly (from Windows point of view) goes into Linux. Some time later you log into Windows, it looks at the clock, realizes the reboot didn't go as planned, and flips its shit into some kind of hare-brained recovery process that winds up overwriting your bootloader with something that can't load Linux and can't load Windows either. It doesn't happen every time so clearly there are heuristics, but it definitely happens some of the time because the dead windows loader it leaves behind is distinctive and unmistakable. That said, I've seen both Ubuntu and Fedora updates that automatically fixed the bootloader until it was broken, so it's wrong to fingerpoint too hard here.

The upshot is that "leave bootloader on boot drive alone" isn't part of the implicit operating system social contract, but "leave bootloader on non-boot drive alone" is, so you can solve a big hairy software problem with a small hardware investment.

> changes in the Rust backend can take minutes to compile, and rust-analyzer is damn slow.

Do you find that if you run cargo build, then trigger RA - without even making any changes - then run cargo build again, it recompiles a bunch of dependencies?

If so, you might find that pinning anyhow to =1.0.77 fixes this! There's a bug somewhere in the interaction between RA, cargo and some crates including afaict mostly dtolnay's which leads to RA runs causing the crate build script to think that RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP is set and they should invalidate the fingerprint and recompile.

Perhaps totally unrelated :) but I ask because I just spent days chasing this down only to find, once in the possession of the important keywords, that some helpful fellow had already filed a PR with rust-analyzer that purports to fix it and so my efforts were probably pointless. But if I can save some random guy a few minutes of compile time before the fix is released then it's worth it, right?

Would be curious to hear more as I'm not sure I quite understand. I think the proposal seems like a more conventional proposal which seeks to maximize classical measures like overall global economic productivity and ignores the general domestic populace.

It seems like that using import tariff duties to subsidize more imports would encourage more importation of goods by lowering the final cost to the end user. It would also likely just directly benefit the domestic importers and the foreign exporters. It would also further exacerbate the differential over domestic producers and domestic alternatives and do nothing to prevent economic/labor regulation arbitrage.

This article is about automatic / enabled-by-default overclocking, which isn't actually specified by Intel but is done by the motherboard manufacturers anyway. At least the "GAMING GAMING GAMING" oriented ones like MSI and friends.

As an example of motherboard manufacturers going outside specifications, my MSI motherboard has a built-in option to change BCLK, which is the clock reference for the entire PCIe bus. Changing it not only overclocks the CPU, but also the GPU's connection (not the GPU itself), as well as the NVMe SSD.

This was so not-endorsed by Intel that they quickly pushed microcode that shuts the CPU down if it detects BCLK tampering.

In response, MSI added a dropdown that allows you to downgrade the microcode of the CPU.

So yeah. Very not within specifications.

I feel like the pejorative conotation is not just an american thing but a general historical thing.

The usual implication of populism is that you are appealing to the base masses, who lack the knowledge to understand the implications of the policies, and don't understand how they will likely be negatively effected by the more subtle (or even overt) implications.

Of course, that is very convinent to the aristrocrats whose power is threatened, but i still think there is a very clear implication with the word populism, that it implies something akin to letting a child eat as much candy as they want.

Monopoly is localised to the country in which it's sold. The UK version has London place names, including The Angel, Islington. It doesn't even say "UK version" or something in the box, that's just all that's ever been sold here. No doubt that's true of many other places. To be honest, I was pretty surprised when I found out there's a US one!

This predates the modern very local ones (e.g. in the UK you can now get Reading monopoly).

> "societies without grim economic insecurity" are public goods and hence governments should provide them.

The question is how to do that.

Some people argue that it's by providing competitive free markets. And that's often true, when the markets are actually competitive and free, but you can also have concentrated markets where the incumbents have captured the regulators, and that doesn't work.

Some argue that transfer payments can reduce inequality, and that can also be true (e.g. UBI), but then many of the implementations try to provide specific services or limit what you can buy with them instead of providing fungible currency. Especially when those services are provided by a captured industry, and then they just end up as a subsidy for that industry, which can absorb the subsidies by raising prices.

The problem is, when you have one of the degenerate situations as the status quo, people know that something is wrong and start clamoring for change without inherently understanding what change is necessary. And then it's easy for the exact forces that create problems and increase concentration of wealth to propose solutions that enrich themselves rather than addressing the issues. Which often makes it worse as those "solutions" accumulate, increasing overhead, inefficiency and the complexity that allows it to remain opaque and intractable.

I think this is worrying too, but if I wouldn't say it's something that's happening "these days", I would've say it's something that is happening "still".

These ideas have always been present in the USA and around the world. But specifically in the USA, it's one of the reasons states decide their own voting laws. Nowadays it's relatively small rules like early voting and vote by mail, but historically it allowed the states a lot of power to limit suffrage to their linking. Even after women and PoC were given the right to vote, there was poll taxes and literacy tests in some states [1][2].

> We can already improve ourselves without identifying as disordered.

The purpose of the "disorder" is to group common pathologies and their respective treatments (methods to improve).

Let's take high functioning autism as an example of a "expanding disorder". The "treatment" for high functioning autism is largely behavioural. Preparing for known stressful events, methods to stay focused on a task you don't like, practicing identifying and displaying emotions appropriately, etc.

> We could already improve ourselves without identifying as disordered.

Many people with high functioning autism don't see it as a disorder and view it as a "different thinking style".

We can (and I think should) "embrace" that, but that does nothing to improve difficulties such as dealing with a new situation, making friends, communicating with their boss, etc.

Similarly I've heard "everyone says that have trouble focusing, you don't have adhd".

Whether you have adhd or not, the ways to improve your behaviour are the same. Methods to stay organized, prepare your environment to focus, prioritizing, etc. apply regardless of whether "you really have adhd or not"

I did this with my Aussie as well. I'd hide all of her toys throughout the house then instruct her "go get your hamburger!" and in a few minutes, she'd come back with her hamburger. It was wild that she'd remember what toy she was looking for during that time. More impressive still, was she would be able to learn new toy names through inference. I'd come home with a new toy turtle, hide all her toys, say "go get your Turtle!", and she'd come back with the new toy. And from then on she'd know which one was Turtle. She had an insatiable appetite for training and learning!

It's become labeled as far right because anything that doesn't fit a narrative is lumped in with far-right activity. You want border security = far right. Want eVerify enforced = far-right. Would rather devote taxes to homeless and US citizen poor people rather than immigrants entering illegally = far right.

So it's not only neo-nazis and the kkk and the like who are classified as "far-right" it's just about any one who on social issues does not align with a progressive agenda is labeled far right. Basically Biden of the early 2000s would be classified as far-right today. Clinton's presidency would be labeled far right, if he ran today as he ran in the late 90s.

That said, both the actual far lefts and the actual far rights do love authoritarianism and censorship --no question.

She sounds like my dog, who has sneezing fits a lot. The shelter said she was a shepherd/boxer mix when I adopted her, but I believe she's a mountain cur.

Either way, she's wonderful, and learned every trick I taught her in the first couple of months. She still knows them all 9 years later. She's learned a lot about me without my instruction, we just fit like a glove.

I don't have an exact count, but she knows at least 30 commands (some are for the same thing, like "wait for me" and "slow down"). I use natural language. I'm not sure how many other things she's picked up. I always tell her "be right back" if it's true, but I'm not sure if she understands it or not, because she's not an anxious dog.

She's never been that interested in food or toys. She's a farm dog. The best.

I wish they'd speed up that research on dog longevity. She's 9.

At the highest of levels, if two parties are at war the one with the most resources wins. That is obviously a gross oversimplification as millennia of tactics demonstrate, but for the sake of argument just hold the thought for a moment.

If the US supply chain isn't cost effective, then it'll have to commit multiple times the resources of the adversary to win. If the US supply chain becomes inefficient enough, at some point the US becomes unable to win. The US doesn't have multiple times the resources of China when it comes to overall manufacturing, so under that oversimplified model the US just loses any direct war - and apparently their military budgets are similarly sized right now [0], so if China is much more efficient at manufacturing (more than about 2x) they might have an edge even at present spending without being on war footing.

Ok, so now we snap back to reality where there are other factors than just manufacturing efficiency and the US military is presumably in better shape than China's. But you can hopefully see now how without overwhelming manufacturing the US needs to maintain big strategic, organisational and technological advantages over the Chinese military to compete with them. They can't outresource someone with similar resources (for which we have GDP and manufacturing output as proxies) and much more efficient processes.
