> You mean like no one wants to log in with Steam, or their console? You realize that everyone on mobile is already logged in to an account where there game data can be saved an automatically synced right?

Do you not realize that people use consoles offline? Or that every single platform that you're talking about has options to disable online saves? Or that there are multiple platforms like the Switch which straight-up don't sync every game's data and keep a number of games purely clientside?

Yes, people care about offline storage. They just do, I guess congratulations if you're one of the people who magically don't have to care about that, but lots of people do.

Syncing is nice, but it does not get rid of the need for reliable offline storage. Every single platform -- literally every single one, including iOS, understands this and has mechanisms to allow users to keep data local. Literally every single one. Did you know that consoles like the base PS5 don't even require an Internet connection at all in order to play games? Not only do you not have to sync your saves, you don't have to use the Internet at all.

Because some (not all, but enough) users care about this, and every single major games platform from iOS to Android to Steam to GoG to Itch to Windows to Mac all understand this and have all put resources into making sure that their platforms and distribution services work without requiring background sync or cloud storage.

I will of course note that we have entirely moved away from the privacy argument. Your earlier claims about web privacy sound extra-nonsensical when viewed through the light that your solution to storage is to upload literally all of everyone's data to the cloud. But whatever.

> Since most people play on mobile, King didn’t need a separate online account, between saving in Game Center and just saving locally and letting iCloud taking care of the backups and online sync they didn’t have to.

Which is not available to PWAs.

If you keep saying the same things over and over again, I'm going to keep giving you the same replies. PWAs can not save in Game Center, Game Center is irrelevant to any conversation about what King can and can't store in a PWA.

If you want to store data in PWA, that does require a separate online account. And as I've said elsewhere, even that is not really a solution and you're still going to need to worry about data loss.
Depends on what you do. Best bet is to find benchmarks from the various M3 reviews and see if any are similar to your workflow. For Geekbench 6, the M1 Max is about 2400/12700 while the M3 is about 3100/12000, so for CPU constrained tasks they be almost the same, with the Air perhaps throttling a bit if you run at full power for longer periods of time. But an M3 Max gets you a multicore score of 19600, which could be a nice improvement if you do a lot of parallel work.

No, I'm actually including two separate time periods where they were busted for price fixing. They were doing it in the late '90s too.
There's a clear difference between "omniscient" debugging and "time travel" debugging. The latter almost always refers to debuggers that let you move backwards in time but only let you access state at the "current point in time", and moving forward or backward has a noticeable cost. Omniscient debuggers (e.g. Pernosco or Lewis' work) give you approximately instant access to states at different points in time.
A start, but not far enough: anything a driver might be reasonably expected to do while driving should have a physical control.

Zero-force, zero-feedback, zero-travel controls should be illegal for such functions.
I've been surprised by how many random devices experience terrible wifi interference. I just bought a new Mac Mini that experiences a ton of interference, sometimes going offline completely. I can browse the web fine but I can't screen share on Zoom or even speak in Discord without noticeable lag multiple times a minute. It's not in some Faraday cage or anything, it's just sitting on my desk not 3 feet from my Ubiquiti access point. But I do have a USB dongle plugged into it which I have heard can cause a lot of interference. My phone, even when sitting on top of the Mac, gets a solid 800 mbits down. It's silly to need an ethernet cable for 3 feet of distance from my switch but here we are.
Maybe I'm too corporate-pilled, but if the 'taped up heuristics' provide noticeably better performance for real-world problems, then I don't really care that there is a facade layer around the model itself. In fact, I would pay for that difference in intentional design/optimization if one vendor does it much better than another for my use case.
I haven't looked at new cars in a while. Do most USA or European cars use touchscreens now, or do they still have physical controls?

Around 10 years ago, I started looking into buying a new car. I couldn't believe the number of cars that switched to touch controls even 10 years ago. It boggles my mind just how car makers thought it was safer/easier to have touch in a car while one is driving. I refused to buy any car that replaced physical buttons with touch controls 10 years ago and I still have this rule today.

Then again, it also boggles my mind how car makers in the US continue to use flashing red lights as the turn signal instead of yellow lights. You can barely see the red light in sunlight and it's harder to tell the red light from brake lights. Furthermore, the same car will have yellow signal lights in the front and side. So yellow signal lights in front and side, red in the back. Just make it all yellow for turn signal!

Yeah, a lot of people who developed important technologies (TCP/IP: Vinton Cerf and Bob Kahn; Unix: Dennis Ritchie, Ken Thompson) were born in the 1940s. My grandmother is in the same age range, but barely knows how to use a cell phone. Many young people nowadays are apparently the same way. It seems like there's always been different groups of people with varying levels of familiarity with technology; it was never a generational divide.
Consistent power demand from a nuclear reactor is a much more cost-effective way for a reactor to run - I imagine a datacenter is a good client because they're basically optimized to sit at a consistent level of power consumption.
As someone who has spent much of their working life doing low-paying software development contracts, I have to say excessive hours and other unpleasant conditions are not in any way restricted to high paying jobs.

Right now I feel trapped in an Upwork contract. Not because it's too much money to pass up, far from it, it's near the federal poverty line, but because my bank account is still close to red. The low paying contracts came because I spent too much time trying to "launch my own startup" and became somewhat desperate and had to start taking any contract I could get. The last few times I didn't wait so long and was able to be more careful and had nice clients. This time the clients have been problematic.

The boss is in eastern europe and has extremely high expectations for work output and seems to inevitably find deficits in my work on a daily basis.

I actually had someone contact me from HN about a potential contract, but had to put them off due to the critical bank account level and daily demands of the current contract. There is no room for error really.
The touchbar got shit on and it was probably expensive at the same time. Worthy innovation perhaps, but the customers didn't value it. I think that was the reason it faded out. I actually used it for audio adjustments, but I didn't need it.

Fine, take that as your reference. It still shows that growth in memory was 1000% faster not too long ago.
It's not well-explained in the article but there's a separate artist "playing" the haptic vests via programming, not unlike how a lighting engineer programs the synchronized light shows for a big touring act.

Instead of a DMX controller choosing entire scenes that control banks of lights in unison, or narrowing down to individual banks of lights to fine-tune things on the fly with faders, the haptic vests use similar commands and controllers to program different intensities and patterns of vibrations across the sub-regions within the vest.

The haptic engineer/artist usually has packs of go-to scenes that work well and provide distinct but complimentary effects from each other scene (just like the lighting engineer), and may have an entire effect chain pre-programmed for a song or mix, or may be choosing and mixing the haptic scenes on-the-fly as they listen to the audio.

If the encoders know what model the decoders will be running, they can improve accuracy. You could pretty easily make a codec that doesn't encode high resolution detail if the decoder NN will interpolate it correctly.
Only correct if you choose the extremes.

Regardless, open fields and under bridges in, e.g., San Francisco are lousy places to live. Without the improvements, you do not have a home.

So most people choose to pay for the "places" with improvements.

The primary value of a property is therefore not the place.

Location is sometimes the most significant variable in the value of a property. But that is not the same thing.

I would the main driver was economics. It would be easier and cheaper to manufacture one big screen in the middle compared to a bunch of physical controls with wiring.

Also makes it easier to change things later in the design if you do not have a bunch of physical controls to move.
I dunno if they have or not, but they must have had a nice little sum stashed away to buy a boat and then retire on it, spending their days coding whatever they want. To me that alone is a luxury and they are in a very enviable position.

I'm not sure what point you think you are making by arguing with the worst possible interpretations of our comments. Clearly intelligence refers to more than just being able to put unicode to paper in this context.

I agree with you that we don't know if will take 10x or 1 million. We don't know if current LLM will scale at all. It might not be the way to AGI.

But while we can delegate the math to the calculator, it's essentially sweeping the problem under the rug. It actually tells you your neural net is not very smart. We know for a fact that it was exposed to tons of math during training, and it still can't do even the most basic addition reliably, let alone multiplication or division.

What we want is an actually smart network, not a dumb search engine that knows a billion factoids and quotes, and that hallucinates randomly.

> you still sound to me like a guy suggesting 20, and now 12 wheels on a Jeep instead of 4

No - on a lunar lander, not on a jeep. It makes a difference (I'm really not sure why you started talking about Jeeps).

The difference is the cost to test a lunar lander (on the moon) vs cost to test a jeep, and the fact that we're only going to build one lunar lander vs a production run of millions for the jeep.

For the Jeep it's cheap enough to iterate and test (on earth), and end up with an optimized design that has 4 wheels and not 12 or 20. Not only is this relatively cheap to do, but there's a huge incentive to do so since we're going to mass produce the Jeep and would therefore like to reduce build cost and maximize profit.

In contrast, the lunar lander is very expensive to "test" since that means a failed mission to the moon. Maybe that mission costs $5M, so if we fail twice before getting it right we've added $10M to the cost. If we can avoid those failed tests by instead adding $1M of redundant hardware that makes it work first time, then we've saved a lot of money. We're only building one lunar lander, so there's no multiplier in front of that $1M we added to the hardware cost.

Good. My Tesla doesn't have a stalk for wiper control and it's just awful UX. The auto function is erratic (often triggers on a sunny day, doesn't pick the right level in the rain). Might be fine for sunny California infrequent use, but terrible for England.

That's the price you pay for living in a continental society where you're outvoted by people who (broadly) prefer SF and NYC to SLC.

That does not bode well. When HR is the problem then you’ve got a serious problem. Very hard to get rid of problematic HR people because they obviously know all the tricks. And any sort of attempt at changing culture can also get derailed by them.

> It boggles my mind just how car makers thought it was safer/easier to have touch in a car while one is driving.

Does anyone actually think that though? Or was it considered “good enough” in light of its other benefits like reducing costs, reducing BOM, eliminating part design work, reducing wiring complexity, adding flexibility and customizability, (potentially) increased reliability, making it easier to jam the multitudes of controls and options a modern car has into a more usable and understandable interface, etc.

Don’t get me wrong, when I bought a new car, one of the selling points was the manufacturer was one of the few to still offer physical control and navigation of the touch screens (in fact the touch functionality is completely disabled at any speed faster than 5 mph). But I don’t think “safer and easier to use while driving” has ever been the driver for touch interfaces in cars.
Couldn't agree more. Tesla is the biggest violator. In new Teslas, they are removing physical stalks, so if you want to reverse the car, you have to use on-screen controls!
