In a lot of Apple's hardware, the fastest way to inference is to ignore the built-in Neural hardware and use Metal Compute Shaders. Suffice to say that simply shipping dedicated silicon is not equivalent to accelerating everything well, or supporting it upstream.

There are companies that specialize in buying up office furniture being liquidated. They buy it at a discount and sell it to the next company.

The thing is that sometimes they have leftovers that they can't really sell to another company and these will often be very cheap. I bought a used Steelcase Leap from one of these places that operated out of a nearby warehouse. A new Leap sells for $1000+. It was in near perfect condition, but it was a different color then the rest of the Leaps that they had, so no one buying in bulk was likely to purchase it. I bought it for about $200. They even steam cleaned it for free before I picked it up.

The Road is probably his most "accessible" book (it was recommended by Oprah after all), second being All the Pretty Horses, which is a modern and romantic western written in his style.

But you might just not like his stylistic tics. His lack of quotation marks is a stylistic move that repeats across all of his books.
You are talking past each other. They mean planted in the roadway.

Exactly. Like hiring managers, recruiters and their cousins do not lie to the candidate. It is a game, and one has to use the necessary tools, including lying (in a reasonable neighborhood of truth) about one's experience and the offers received, to achieve the goal, which is to earn as much as possible from the company we want to work for.

For the people in the back, being honest makes you, and me, and everyone else undesirable. We've all had moments, days, even weeks of frustration, anger, disillusionment, technical incompetence, days we'd rather spend fighting with a gorilla than showing up for work, but we certainly don't say that when asked, "How do you handle conflict at work?" So I usually lie and present myself as a saint, but in a pragmatic way. I don't want to be perceived as a weak person, after all.
If it weren’t for his extremism, none of this would be happening.

Maybe stop looking for reasons to hate on him simply because it’s popular to do so? His works speak for themselves.

It may be worth sending them a lawyer's letter threatening to sue for costs and damages (or whatever the lawyer says) unless they fix the issue.

True, but even the low-budget programs need crew, production companies, studio or locations, surprising amount of gear etc. Average influencer can run their setup so much more light weight.
I have no explanation for why Microsoft has started aggressively innovating again (with the introduction of Satya) than my theory that US DoD realized the country's tool of dominance in the future will be predominantly with tech superiority instead of military power. Microsoft's new strategy of running everything on the cloud aligns with this, even if it may have been also motivated by the fact that most people now only own a battery-constrained mobile device and laptops getting smaller and thinner.

Both drag and lift depend on the speed of the airplane relative to the wind, not relative to the ground. So, if the maximum efficiency dictates that the airplane should travel at speed X relative to the wind, and the wind is flowing at speed Y in the same direction as the airplane needs to travel, then the airplane, flying at maximum efficiency, will be travelling at speed X+Y relative to the ground.

This is all accurate. The comment in this article is specifically about the top 10 AI companies, so the usual big tech stocks. I'm no expert, but I can understand how a stock gaining $277 billion in a single day can be concerning from an investment perspective.

But it's hard to argue with the results of the progress in AI over the last few years. I have no idea how that will translate for investors, but I wouldn't be surprised if AI fundamentally changes the stock market into something fully automatic within the next decade.

Is it really so hard to imagine why they would hate the American and Israeli governments?

We’ve been all but pulling the trigger as we supported Saudis bombing them for years, kept them under famine, have American mercenaries doing political assassinations for the emirates in Yemen, the list goes on.

We had 9/11 happen and large chunks of society wanted to nuke Mecca. Imagine multiple 9/11s every year for a decade and think how you’d feel.
I agree with your entire comment but have some nuance about one point:

> It’s one thing to create a new [lower-margin business], it’s another to purposefully take it on as a business line when your existing business groups prints money and have 40%+ margins.

While I agree that this plan didn't fit with any of Apple's strengths, as a general principle good companies plan for margin erosion. In fact failure to do this is a classic failure described in The Innovator's Dilemma, where you're leaving room for a disruptor to grow. Or as Sun used to put it: "if someone's going to show up and eat our lunch, it should be us who does that"

This is simply not true [1]. Look under the section "Creating a developer account for personal use" -- No D-U-N-S number is required.

Reading further on that page:

> If you’re in one of the regions that Dun and Bradstreet does not support, then you can apply to our support team for an alternative way to verify your organization.

So there ARE channels if you are unable to obtain the number.

After a quick search, EDP seems to stand for Enterprise Discount Program, and PPA means Private Pricing Addendum.
This take is wild to me. The USA is currently in the midst of discourse about:

Banning abortion, making it criminal/murder to drop IVF eggs, burning/banning books in election ads, making it an offense to even mention your sexuality or home life in some situations, coddling Russia as if they're the good guys, electing a guy who clearly tried to engineer a coup, making it impossible to even identify as a trans person because of the social stigma (again).

But generally the people for all of the above (or parts of it) are crying murder when Canada tries to say maybe it's an offense to advocate for genocide and other such things online. The cases that happen with these laws won't be Trudeau's cronies coming up and taking you away in a van, they will go before perfectly reasonable judges who will rule if you were doing enough harm to warrant jail time. If the courts were stacked in the way the USA's have been I might be worried, luckily we have a better system up here for such things.

Everybody is interesting if you get talking to them. You just think the guy who collects your trash is uninteresting and never talk to him (or do you?). Sure not everyone has the same background, and so they are interesting in different ways, but they are all interesting.
I think you're right, it'll be interesting to see whether the next AI winter brings a market crash with it. It would be one thing if it seemed like there was some commercial application beyond "neat nerd toy" but so far there just isn't that I'm aware of? That smells a lot like tulip bulbs.

The enslaved ants which grew up in the slave maker ant colony kill the slave maker ant queens (along with other pupae, but they kill the queens at higher rates) in their pupal stage. They're basically in rebellion. Researchers think that this behavior is selected for, as it reduces the effectiveness of the slave maker ants and increases the odds of survival of the enslaved ant species.
Very fun to see. Thanks for sharing!
I'd potentially reverse this: 'overt' political censorship didn't start until certain creators started to market their otherwise objectionable content as "political" as a way to bypass existing moderation policies.
There is a very valid argument in favor of treating ISPs and hosting providers the same as your electricity and water company, and prevent them from being able to ban users on a whim. However the companies that are currently being targeted are still a few levels removed from that. In fact the party advocating for this is also the one opposed to net neutrality.
>Furthermore Tesla has proven that for a lot of people a car is simply an appliance.

Interesting, it doesn't feel like this at all, to me. It seems that, relative to its market share, a lot of Tesla buyers make the brand part of their identity. Who "settles" on a Tesla when they don't care about what they drive?
Actually there is a reason for that, as described in this source code comment[0]

** 2006-10-31: The default prefix used to be "sqlite_". But then

Ehrlich's theories is intuitive and intuitive hypotheses often sound true without being so. It actually requires scientific education to think critically and logically about a hypothesis to judge its veracity. Physics, after all, is replete with non-intuitive explanations of physical phenomena.

> Of course today the new hotness is to panic over underpopulation and demographic collapse. That's got a huge undercurrent of racism too. Desirable countries can easily compensate for any concerns over population decline by importing population, but the depopulation zealots seem to freak out even more over that. We can't just let people immigrate... because... they never quite seem to finish the sentence but you know the reason.

Agreed. Brexit is the first step in an anti-immigration wave that's poised to all sweep Western countries over the next decade.

I love how Apple haters don’t understand the phenomenon. Look, I bought Sony headphones, some reference like xixikxixkklkxwx. I now have tinitus. Everyone tells me it’s because I didn’t buy the xixikxixkklkxwii, which were obviously better. The entire PC market is like this. Intel sells i7, but it’s not the same as the i7 of 20 years ago. LG sells screens where you have 90% chances of buying shit and get told “Well they do make good screens, you should have bought the other reference. What did you expect. You noob.” The entire Android market is like this. You buy Samsung and you get OEM preinstalled shit. “Yeah everyone knows you should gave bought the Pixel, not the Samsung.”

So now, instead of buying things twice because the one was shit, I just buy Apple. I don’t buy “the iPhone”. I buy “iPhone”. It could be 99% more expensive, it’s still less than buying things twice.
The issue is really that they bought used, worn out airframes just because they weren't as old as ours. From another Airforce that basically deemed them to be too old and worthy of replacement by the f-35... the same f-35 that we chose to not buy instead! It's such a Canadian thing but we just basically swept the problem away for the couple of years that we can get from the airframes, but we had to basically go through all of the procurement again not even half a decade after that decision.

So there was no point at all, we could've just bought actual replacements (f-35 or not) that would last for an entire generation back in 2p15. But hey, problem solved for the current government so who cares about what happens in 10 years! But then the issue got too big and we ended up circling back to buying the exact same f-35 that we wanted to have for the past 20 years. Just with a worse deal and even more clapped out f18 and pilot accidents.
Do you mean SQL Server? If that's the case, ingestr is already able to connect to Microsoft SQL Server and use it both as a source and a destination.
There's premature optimization and there's mature optimization...

Searching with something other than linear scan when searches happen often over meaningfully large search spaces is a mature optimization.

Avoiding network requests by using a cache is a mature optimization (with all of the pitfalls that come with caching)
Cloudflare is a weird example to pick here, since kicking i.e. stormfront or kiwifarms off CF doesn't deprive them of the ability to host a website, it just deprives them of obfuscation and a free CDN - effectively, the service CF is offering to them is not hosting but cost reduction and insulation from the consequences of their speech.

It's reasonable in an abstract sense to think that it's a good thing if CF offers those Bad People services like that based on philosophical goals or political alignment, but it's very distinct from 'having a public website'.

AFAIK it's still possible for anybody to put up a linux box with nginx on it and put any content they want there, other than the fact that a lot of consumer ISPs don't allow you to run servers anymore. But that's a different problem and cloudflare can't fix it.
For my own projects I do Terraform/Pulumi + Ansible. I use Hetzner & DigitalOcean and this setup works great with both.

I don't use docker for my projects, as I deploy on RHEL like systems which I'm intimately familiar how to configure (and have snippets I mix and match).
> home owners were far more reliable voters then renters

As far as I can tell, while this may be the assumption that politicians have been using, it doesn't seem necessarily accurate beyond a correlation with age and wealth. It may or may not be, but I'm not aware of public data that reliably makes such a direct association in Canada, and I wonder if the numbers would look similar to likelihood of having developed heart disease.

But I agree with the rest of the sentiment

This is the approach I take. I don't think of it as "fighting back", though, as my goal isn't to change the bad behavior of companies. That's largely impossible.

Instead, it's just a stance of pure self-protection. The only way I can protect myself against bad companies is to not engage with them at all.
> This is simply not true

Here is the email I received that states otherwise:

Your account verification deadline for developer account **

Your confirmed deadline: Dec 2, 2024
You'll be able to start account verification in Play Console on Oct 3, 2024, which is 60 days before your deadline.

What you'll need to provide when you verify:

- a D-U-N-S number for your organization
If you don't have a D-U-N-S number, you can request one at no cost from Dun & Bradstreet. This process can take up to 30 days, so we recommend requesting a D-U-N-S number well in advance of account verification being available in Play Console. Learn more about requesting a D-U-N-S number

- a contact phone number and email address for Google Play users to contact you

- a contact phone number and email address for Google to contact you

- an official document to verify your identity

- an official document to verify your organization

If you earn money on Google Play using Google Play billing, you'll also need to verify your merchant payment details.

So, maybe they haven't updated their documentation yet or don't even realize that it is only free for us orgs?
Breaking changes in requests would be a disaster.

The problem is that they're not just a library people use directly: they're a library that is often used by other libraries.

The worst possible form of dependency hell is when you want to use libraryA - which depends on requests<3.0 - and libraryB, which depends on requests>=3.0, at the same time.

At that point, you're simply stuck. You cannot use both libraryA and libraryB at the same time until they both upgrade to the same underlying requests dependency.

Python projects are affected by this because it isn't currently possible to have two versions of the same library installed at the same time, because they clash with each other in the sys.modules global namespace.

This isn't true of all modern programming languages - I've been meaning to dig around and figure out which ones are affected by this problem and which are not - I think Node.js and Rust have mechanisms for this, but I don't think Go or Java do.
