Where did Gruber say that “only Apple Pay does this”? The writer goes on to point out a few mistakes (or rather, didn’t quite get the details right) Gruber made, and that’s seems to be it.
> Among the technical issues the program never overcame was the ability to adequately recognize incoming missiles and guide anti-missile defenses to the target.

This is factually inaccurate, both of these were proven capabilities several decades ago. The biggest technical issue with ballistic missile intercept was getting the new hypersonic rocket motors they wanted to use to respond to guidance commands with sufficient precision. It was a materials science problem; if you put the same package on a normal rocket motor it (demonstrably) worked just fine.
Why a fixed cost? Should be proportional to income, or car, whichever is higher.

Funny to see people defending regressive taxations. And yes I think parking tickets and most other fines should also be proportional.

Many people naively think that liberal democracy, where human rights are respected is kind of the natural state, which can be distorted by some evil regimes. Nothing could be further from truth: natural state of mankind is slavery with a small elite exploiting the masses. Democracy is a product of European culture and it slowly evolved from: Ancient Greek philosophy, Ancient Roman law, and Christianity as a religion. Countries that do not share the same cultural background are simply not compatible with democracy.

Decision Weighting According to Kahneman

Well let’s see…we paid for the road already, we pay tax on the gas and we pay tax on the vehicle every year just for owning it.

Now onto the train…we didn’t pay for the track in most cases and we don’t pay property tax as we don’t own the vehicle.

It’s not that we’re overly car-centric. It’s that we’ve already been charged at least three ways to drive on that road and now they want to add another.
It's also a very "done" software component that sees very few changes, so there's not much downside. TinyMCE feels like a company pushing a v7 just to make you remember they exist.
I spent 3-years with Swift recently

Makes me want to ask: Why? Why do this?

It is a decent language for 2005. But it has some serious shortcomings (reference counting garbage collector? Really?)

The worst thing IMO is its dreadful support for threads. The "DispatchQueue" seems to be a wrapper around "fork/renice". There is no attempt at memory protection.

But it is full of little niggles that get very irritating in this day and age.

I never used Objective-C so it may be a vast improvement on that.

It is no longer 2005, and we deserve, and we have, better languages.

My time as an Apple developer left me with the overwhelming sensation that Apple hates its developers. So much cool looking stuff that mostly worked...
I don't think at that time biotech could be considered very impactful. After all, search engines were literally impacting billions of peoples' lives within a few years, but a new drug would take a decade to get to market, and impact "only" millions of people.
In fact, for a geography like Manhattan, prioritizing public transport and small transport (bikes and scooters) would go a long way in improving congestion and conditions in general.
Well it's good that the world has stopped changing and we can rest assured on our assumptions about how children will obviously follow their parents in most things.
Most of the things you mentioned only benefit the car owner, and they can choose to adjust them based on their need and budget.

This is about the cost to other people for your choices: if you buy an SUV, you get the positive effect of feeling more macho but the people whose health is at greater risk as a direct consequence of that decision aren’t consulted. This kind of thing allows those communities to provide the negative feedback required to keep a system stable.
Better/cheaper train solutions would seem to be the desired fix though not just raising prices to random high numbers.

I agree that this will likely have a good outcome in the end but something about it just seems wrong to me.
And isn't this problem then the opposite of what is described in the prior post?

A timestamp "repeats" to add a second (positive leap second). The subsequent timestamp sequence is delayed relative to its prior offset to TIA. The Google "smear" method works here to slow down the clock rather than repeat values.

To drop a second (negative leap second) we have a one second gap in the timestamp sequence. The subsequent timestamp sequence is advanced relative to its prior offset to TIA. This just requires a monotonic jump, as if the computer froze and did not perform any work for one second before resuming with the right clock values.
The video was way more amusing than I was expecting.
> It's the customers (i.e. "us") who are responsible for those emissions. And the cost is being passed on to those customers. The insurance system is working just fine.

The companies don't just get a pass. Especially not if those companies aren't working to reduce emissions from their processes. And let's not even get started on situations where a company has basically cornered a market and consumers who need their products don't have a choice.
Not just europe! It's quite unheard of here in the developing third world too.

Gnomes can help us solve the Sorites paradox [pdf]
"The problem is that it's nearly impossible to convey to a childless person how meaningful parenthood will be to their life."

It is also hard to convey, how hard it can be, making the transition from only taking care of yourself, to also being 100% responsible for someone else. Combine that with little sleep and relationships that were not working very good before and it is no wonder so many children end up in foster homes, or with traumatic experiences of neverending fights of their parents.

So no, the conditions don't need to be perfect, they never will be. But you have to have some stable base. And consensus with the partner on how to raise a child. Otherwise parenting won't be meaningful, but hell on earth for everyone involved.

Cliff Stoll told all of the adults in my life constantly on television that home computers were creating criminals and that you should be suspect of anyone in life that isn't professional that seems to know too much about computers. This rhetoric is apparent in this clip:
https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2gujnjLrQG/
His premise was that only those who were working for the government or working on real computers at big companies should be trusted with their immense power. And this was sort of a second act to try to keep being invited on to TV shows or something.
I'm glad he is inspiring but I just can't forgive him for this. My school system talked about getting rid of all of our computers pretty much solely because of the fear of hackers he spread.

> I highly doubt any banks or credit card issuers would do this themselves if given access to NFC tap-to-pay.

Birchler points out that the banks did do this.

And Gruber has acknowledged his mistake.

Gruber is an open fanboi but for the most part he would at least get his facts straight and would be open about what he didn’t understand and would link to experts in the field.

However, since the EU DMA actions on Apple he seems to have completely lost his objectivity. First by pretending to understand the legalese better than apparently the EC does, then by applying American lawmaking approaches to European ones which are very different and then finally by taking Apple’s bad faith statements at face value (Gruber’s turn has coincided with Apple’s very weird bad faith approach to the EU so maybe the fundamental issue is his trust in Apple).

And he seems to be carrying over that to the U.S. govt’s antitrust action as well.

Also, to be fair, social media is absolutely filled with Apple people pretending to be legal experts but being completely wrong about almost everything. So it might be hard for him to even see opposing viewpoints from legitimate folks.
This is a great way of putting it, and I think about this a lot.

My wife's ancestors had kids at younger ages, and my ancestors had kids at later ages. Her grandparents are all still alive, mine have all been gone for more than ten years.

My spouse and I are on track to have kids in our mid/late 30s. My wife's parents are both in their mid 50s, and realistically they'll probably have 20 years of overlap with our children.

My parents, though, are in their mid 70s. I have to hope they have at least another 10 years of good health so that they can forge a bond with our children. Even with good health, though, the way a 75-year old interacts with a young kid is going to be very different from the way a 55-year old does.

I made the same choice as my parents and will likely face the same future, where I may have little or no overlap with my grandchildren. Since my generation has delayed childbearing for so long, I think this is something we'll see largely as a mistake in about 20-30 years.

The problem with doing that is it would require significantly more space in that spec. At a minimum, one offset for each possible mip level. That data needs to be moved around the GPU internally quite a bit, crossing clock domains and everything else, and would require a ton of extra registers to keep track of. Putting it in a ROM is basically free - a pair of BRAM versus a ton of registers (and the associated timing considerations), the BRAM wins almost every time.

I think hospitals should charge a $600 an hour fee for stepping inside their multimillion dollar buildings staffed with multimillion dollar salaried people, and charge market rate for products. That would make more sense to people. We somehow expect access to their facilities for free 24/7, yet get annoyed when they pass the billing through items we know the price of. They should charge an entrance fee like Disney land or a hotel room per hour and then be more reasonable on the Tylenol.

Honestly, just a matter of having the time to clean everything up and get it out. The ancillary code, model cards, etc. take a surprising amount of time.

> The peter principle assumes that competence in one role automatically translates to less competence in a higher role.

No it doesn't. It just says that if you're good at your job, you'll get promoted. If you're not, you'll stay where you are. So you either are good at your job and can be promoted or you're bad at your job. You can be good at your current job and other forces outside of competence are preventing that advancement.

And so, there is no logic to reverse and make that assumption. Also, for your reversal, Steve Jobs would've needs to start as a data entry clerk. Reversing this doesn't mean any job below you is where you came from.
> Never said as much. OP asked why all planes since the 70s look about the same. It’s because there isn’t a sustained budget for experimentation.

Bullshit. There is tons of money for innovation, every single manufacturer is trying to squeeze 1-2% efficient improvements across the board. To say there is no funding for innovation is hilariously ignorant.

The ones who drive nowadays on weekday regularly into Manhattan are mostly those who need to do a job in the city with a vehicle, which likely why you can get the goods you want in the city. This toll won't stop them from entering the city and will only make what people pay more expensive.

It is just another way to grab funds from private section into public ones, which usually operates at extremely low efficiency and high corruption level.

First, I don't have a dog in the fight between parent and GP. Secondly, you're balking at a foundational commonplace in Western music.

Musical perception shares pathways with speech and it is believed this is also why certain timbres seem more expressive or interesting to us than others (that's over my head, but I first encountered that claim in the teaching company lecture series on mathematics and music). Let's consider that the first music must have been vocal or percussive, and that music making is innate to humans. Let's also consider that our hearing has to be able to finely distinguish sounds in the frequency range our voices can produce. This is why we don't make musical instruments only cats and dogs can hear at the very least -- our musical instruments have significant overlap with not only the sounds we can hear, but especially those we can produce vocally.

In terms of Western music, earliest polyphony was vocal. Contrapuntal technique likewise arose from vocal music (and this yielded our common practice harmonic tradition). I think every counterpoint manual since the renaissance (at least the ones I've read from Zarlino to Fux) begins with a discussion of the idiophone to establish the concepts of consonances and disonances based on proportions and then abruptly gets on with the business of counterpoint, where the ideal of the voice is mentioned whenever instrumental music is brought up. Additionally, there are special cases in counterpoint that arise from (or are explained as having arisen from) the sort of embellishments vocalist were fond of making (e.g. nota cambiata for one example). Not to beat a dead horse, but I even recall reading a fugue manual from the 1700s discussing an instrumental fugue and pointing out that the first note of the subject is longer, being a mannerism from vocal fugue writing (singers felt more secure if they could sit on the note a little at the beginning of an entrance).

Every single manual I've read on instrumental performance has stressed achieving a vocal quality. This is really deeply baked into Western music.
I'm not sure what that has to do with what we're discussing. Did you think it was a video on arrests and not a video on prohibition?
No. It will descend into scamming sweatshop bot offices in the dusty reaches of the world thinking they can make a faster buck by using fewer employees than when before ai (think along the lines of (peopleperhour, mechanical turk, call centres, help centres, it software support).
> Come back when hardware designed for ML training and/or interference with proper pytorch compatibility becomes readily available for hobbyists.

In a way it's already here: regular cpu (and/or gpu) with enough RAM & storage can do it. But what specialized hardware could do:

Bring whole classes of AI uses that don't need that much processing power, into reach of "roll your own, run locally & cut Google/MS/Amazon etc out of the loop". In a power-efficient manner.

That could be a game changer for sure.

I'm happy to see the weird & wonderful AI powered gadgets that will flood the market. But buy any? Will depend a lot on "does it enable company X to look over your shoulder 24/7, yes or no?".

We need to transform Personal Computing into Interpersonal Computing-and your NeXT computer was designed to do exactly this. At NeXT, we think that Interpersonal Computing will be the most important and exciting contribution of desktop computing in the 1990s.

The idea of networked technology & connected computing was & is so cool. I'm not sure what exactly here offers that though?

And alas alas alas: yes interconnectedness has defined the new age of computing. But where we've landed is vast cloud neo-mainframes and war-against-general-purpose-computing devices that don't even expose file systems to the users.

I'd love to see a re-personalization of computing. But somehow that also has to be connected too at the same time, if it's going to get anywhere.

Matt Birchler, who works in the payments industry, has a great explainer about how this works, and it turns out major banks and credit cards do generate per-merchant “DPAN” numbers for tap-to-pay transactions. I stand by my argument that Apple Wallet is at least as, if not more secure than, any digital payment app provided by a card issuer.]
