Yes, but it also sounds like VC necromancy. Investing in a startup undertaker gets them on the hyperscale train, preying on the death of other startups. Eventually, they need to find new and innovative ways to make startups die so they can feed off them. They become homicidal undead unicorns.
I was under the impression that Xiaomi did not target only the top end of the market as Apple tends to. I would expect an Apple card to start at $120k or more.

I suppose Apple could go after the Corolla or something if they really wanted to but that just doesn’t seem like an Apple move to me.
They absolutely did. Microsoft was late to web and now we have O365, Azure, etc.

I'd say, however, that this is less FOMO and more employee-retention. A team shifting from electric cars to generative AI sounds more like a directionless hype squad where you park flight risks who can still add value to other departments while they play with the newest shiny.

> The guys field testing took one look and knew it wouldn't work.

You have a hearsay, hindsight story (no offense to the author) that one person thought it wouldn't work.

And now we have a hindsight HN comment that they would have known it all along. I'm guessing the people who worked on it weren't idiots, though people seem to delight in supposing they are smarter than all the dumb people whose plans don't work out perfectly.

Look at a picture of what the top 10 smartphones looked like the day before iPhone launched and then again a few years later. That is what category defining means.

They didn't take whatever was out there in the market and copy it/make it incrementally better. They started from scratch and built something drastically different and better than the rest. Same for iPod (yes there were plenty of cheap MP3 players out there, but none of them were comparable), Airpods and all the rest.
I grew up duck hunting and learned intimately how ducks use their wings and the variations of shapes at different velocities as they slow down to land on the water. I also grew up boating and swimming and have a likewise similar understanding of paddling, tracking a canoe straight, and using boat motor trim to "get on the plane".

I guess I struggle with articles like this because it's already so intuitive as a mix of air and fluid dynamics. In fact, fixed airfoils are so boring when you see what a duck can do.

So for all the fancy physics talk, this duck is literally just paddling air with his wings. The same physiology I use to stay afloat when treading water while swimming.

Good advice overall, and definitely an improvement over the usual interview boilerplate that candidates have to trod through.

However, in some places it seems to be too cavalier -- in the sense that it suggests we now have a magic prism with which we can "diagnose" the candidate's shallowness or lack of candor. When really they're just saying something basically innocuous. Cause it's like, been a long and mostly boring interview process so far, has it not, and they're trying to slog their way through the canned / pre-programmed (if arguably necessary) part of the process like you are.

For example, under "Things to watch out for":

High standards: if they say there’s nothing they wish they’d done differently, this may also be lack of embarrassing honesty, or not holding themselves to a high standard

Or they had a genuinely shitty experience (with high costs to finances, relationships and/or health) that was 80 percent out of the blue and beyond their control. And they'd really rather just move on. Or if they did tell you the real context and their real reasons for doing X -- you'd very likely ding them (quite likely fatally) for doing so.

> Apple has a reputation to uphold, of being bleeding edge and having the best, latest, greatest tech.

Quite the opposite.

The iPod was panned by tech commentators; famously, "No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame."

The iPhone saw similar reactions; https://www.fastcompany.com/40436054/10-of-the-most-interest.... "There is nothing revolutionary or disruptive about any of the technologies."; "The real elephant in the room is the fact that I just spent $600 on my iPhone and it can’t do some crucial functions that even $50 handsets can."; "That virtual keyboard will be about as useful for tapping out emails and text messages as a rotary phone."

They could easily buy Volkswagen sized company from the reserve cash they have and still have quite a good amount of reserve left. I don't think car experience is something that is the limiting factor.
I was trying to pick brands that we’re both expensive and low volume. If I don’t think Apple could get the sales of some of those makers then I definitely don’t think they could target numbers like BMW.

Lamborghini may be a little small for that list, I don’t really know. But I would think they would stay pretty boutique due to output size.

Run 'emacs -q' (no add-ons loaded) and it should be a lot faster than VS Code. Which means that a library you loaded is the culprit. Things like Doom Emacs are notorious for unexpected slowness since they're not very well put together and load questionable libraries.

In the unlikely case where emacs -q is still slow, use Emacs Mac Port (https://github.com/railwaycat/homebrew-emacsmacport/releases...).

This is at least 2x perceivably faster than VS Code on Mac.
I think he was quite cynical of a totalitarian mindset of control and mastery that can rest in the background of the scientific "project." Many things that we would generally consider horrific by modern standards were considered completely reasonable in the past when done "in the name of science."

Judge Holden is, after all, the main villain of Blood Meridian, and yet he says in a speech:

> Whatever exists, he said. Whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent. [...] The man who believes that the secrets of the world are forever hidden lives in mystery and fear. Superstition will drag him down. The rain will erode the deeds of his life. But that man who sets himself the task of singling out the thread of order from the tapestry will by the decision alone have taken charge of the world and it is only by such taking charge that he will effect a way to dictate the terms of his own fate.

I'm sure many people here would, without understanding the context of the quote and his character, identify with that quote nonetheless precisely because of what it offers --- control and mastery.

> the iPhone was far, very far better

It wasn't that far ahead when it first launched. Very basic functionality. But a few versions later it was the end of Nokia and Blackberry.

"No handset polarised opinions during 2007 more than the Apple iPhone. Although it has many good points, the list of bad points is equally impressive. The iPhone lacks 3G, the camera is only two megapixels and lacks autofocus and flash, you cannot send MMS messages, third party applications are not allowed, the battery is not replaceable and it is absurdly expensive."

The problem with Siri (and with Alexa) is that Apple was not able to provide enough value for people to make it mainstream. Alexa at least worked for home appliances but using Siri for Macbook or iPhone? Why? Not to mention Apple was not able to monetize it.
The market economy deserves not one iota of credit for the Free Software I have written (millions of downloads). It was produced and donated to the world in spite of the market economy, not because of it.
nativecomp is pretty much a gimmick and should make absolutely no difference in perceived Emacs slowness during actual usage and not stupid microbenchmarks.
> Team matching. This can take days or weeks, depending on how many teams you speak to and how many conversations you have with the people on each team

This is insane. This is literally months of work, just for the chance to maybe get a job, maybe with a team you'd like to work for, maybe with a salary that reflects the work you'll be doing.

Shien isn't doing anything. It's just a platform.

These kinds of platforms (Shien, Temu/PDD, Shoppee, Flipkart, etc) are very popular in Asia.
Siri being terrible is thrown around thoughtlessly, you should try it. It's actually pretty good these days. It's shocking how many things it can respond with actual answers.

Bullshit. I've been audited 3 times because of my inexperience with running a business. Every single time it was a professionally worded letter that told me exactly what I needed to do to fix it, and when I followed directions, the problem went away.
LSP is basically an open(-ish) source implementation of Google’s internal tool called Grok. Grok was made by Steve Yegge, a formerly famous tech blogger. Steve Yegge uses emacs, and half his motivation was to equalise editors by moving the language processing elements to an external place that’s shareable by all. He has a great talk on it: https://youtu.be/KTJs-0EInW8.

So it’s, like, not an accident that emacs can leverage this :-D. Though I never see anyone giving him credit.
In my mind Tesla is sort of special because they offered something no one else did. For a long time the only other electric cars were the volt/bolt and the leaf. None of those are performance cars in the slightest.

As other brands get more and more popular in the US I wonder if the CarPlay issue will really start to hurt them. But we won’t know for a while.

I’m certainly very curious to see what happens since GM was dumb enough to remove CarPlay. I expect that’s gonna hurt. But maybe I’m wrong.
I mean, I assume there's a reason Glasgow's stupid miniature subway (its tunnels are even a little smaller than the magic car tunnels, only 3.4m) is as it is. But the idea that there are _substantial_, tunnel-economics-changing savings seems dubious.

> Apple cancels work on electric car

Phew. Probably a good idea.

>... shifts team to generative AI

Actually, I think I would rather them work on an electric car.

I know a car was not a realistic idea, but I'll say it: Apple's software stinks. They used to take bold risks with hardware, but this is going to be another dollar-store ripoff of another popular product.
If P=NP, then its pretty much a matter of throwing enough compute at a neural network to essentially compress the representation of reality into an algorithm that can run faster than reality, which means that an all powerful all knowing AGI is actually possible, which then likely means we live in a simulation already.

I don't really know what I would personally do though.
along the same line of applying modern day to older shows, I recently re-watched Stargate Atlantis. I found it amusing that with all of the futuristic tech, McKay still carried around a bulky laptop. Even the original Star Trek minimized the computer to a hand held device. The prop team kind of failed in SG:Atlantis on this one to me. How much easier would their off world adventures been with a tablet or other smaller futuristic compute device?

[Scene: A mock-up of the Mars rover control room, with screens showing live feeds from the rover's cameras. Two scientists, Dr. Smith and Dr. Johnson, are seated at a desk, facing the audience.]

Dr. Smith: Good evening, folks. Tonight, we've got a bit of news from our Martian friend.

Dr. Johnson: That's right, Dr. Smith. It seems our rover encountered a little hiccup.

Dr. Smith: Just a wee one. The rotor snapped off.

Dr. Johnson: The rotor?

Dr. Smith: Yes, the rotor. It's now orbiting Mars on its own.

Dr. Johnson: How did that happen?

Dr. Smith: Well, it seems the rover stumbled upon a Martian pothole.

Dr. Johnson: Potholes on Mars?

Dr. Smith: Indeed, very Martian-esque potholes. Anyway, one of these craters snagged the rotor, and snap! Off it went.

Dr. Johnson: So, what's the plan now?

Dr. Smith: Well, first, we panic.

Dr. Johnson: Panic?

Dr. Smith: Yes, it's customary in these situations. Adds a touch of drama.

[Both scientists start faux-panicking, flailing their arms and looking alarmed.]

Dr. Johnson: Alright, panic mode complete. Now what?

Dr. Smith: Now, we get creative. We've got some of the brightest minds back at mission control.

Dr. Johnson: But they're light-years away!

Dr. Smith: True, but they're also light-years ahead when it comes to problem-solving.

Dr. Johnson: So, we sit tight and wait for a solution?

Dr. Smith: Bingo. In the meantime, we can enjoy the Martian views on these screens.

[They both turn to observe the screens showing the Martian landscape.]

Dr. Johnson: You know, even with a snapped-off rotor, Mars still has its charm.

Dr. Smith: Absolutely, Dr. Johnson. It's moments like these that remind us why we explore the great unknown.

[They share a nod of agreement as they continue to monitor the screens, signaling the end of the skit.]

Nope you’re not off. I chose McCarthy’s earliest novel because it is him at his most “impressionistic” and indeed many sentences require multiple read through to determine what’s being said. But that’s the artistic pleasure in it: a scene is painted slowly in my mind’s eyes that, once fully formed/comprehended, is hard to find elsewhere in literature. This being art, you are completely free to find it off putting and completely ignore it. But I’ve found beauty in McCarthy that is, well, hard to put into words. His writing, much like technical documentation, can require many readings to get the picture.
"woke" isn't a great qualifier. But you could re-frame the question as
how do "AI" models encode and search within a political sentiment

dimensional variants [0..2] There are also personality axes, again
with high or low dimensional nuance. Unlike "real" signals there's no
component analysis to prove that these are orthogonal. If the training
data carries-in any salient features you can get an NN to tell you
where "woke" or "fascist" or whatever is within these for some task,
then minimise or maximise it for some quality.

Yeah, I really don’t get what the plan was. Unless they are expecting to be able to completely annex Ukraine, I don’t know what Russia hopes to gain that it didn’t already get with the annexation of Crimea and continuing the War in Donbas stalemate conflict.

Just maintaining those conflicts indefinitely would prevent Ukraine from joining NATO and would have attracted a lot less international attention to Ukraine. It also would have been a lot cheaper in terms of economic sanctions and military losses.

Demo (Light Base Map):

This is a modernized version of a base map (used to overlay topical maps over it) that they have been working on for the past few years. Available as vector tile. It's very clean and crisp, and IMHO much more readable than e.g. the Google Maps style, or OSM.

Performance is a bit choppy, and navigation feels somewhat clunky. But you can overlay any of the hundreds of topical maps (pick from geocatalog menu, or search via search bar).

I'm not sure if you flagged my comment too, but I'm a real person with a posting history. psnehanshu also has a posting history and contact information on their profile, so I doubt this person is a bot or a person who wrote an AI-generated comment.

I manually highlighted the key parts of the article in my comment to encourage discussion, for people who read the comments first. I'm not sure what psnehanshu posted as it's flagged, but making claims that early comments are AI-generated (especially when they are likely not the case) cuts down on discussion.

The parent to the comment you linked to also disclosed that it was AI-generated. My comment was not, and I'm willing to bet that psnehanshu's comment was not either.

The hubris of those hiring tips & tricks posts never cease to amaze me.

Hubris in the sense that they really think that they are doing something right, so much so that they blog/post about it.

Motion data (especially in the context of an SDK, which I assume means they're talking about in-app environments rather than browser environments) usually refers to gyroscope readouts on a phone or tablet.

A device that stays rock-steady throughout an entire browsing session isn't necessarily suspicious on its own—for example, you could have your phone laid flat on the table while your browse with your pointer finger—but it can be a useful tell in combination with other suspicious factors.
