Long-term, correct and fast emulation of x86 and ARM on other platforms is going to be damn important, features and bugs especially, for investment utilization and for long-term archival and historical purposes.

Apple did an excellent job with Rosetta 2 in most cases. It has its limitations since it's not 100% or sufficiently general as to replicate a Windows PC.

One approach that didn't work so well was Transmeta with VLIW and pouring resource-costly optimizations into the compiler.

All-in-all, CISC/RISC debate is a mirage because it depends on the net performance of the macro ISA running on some particular micro ISA. We don't have single-cycle, non-pipelined RISC or low cycle efficiency, hyper deep, 6 GHz PC processors anymore for good reason... they've been supplanted by a series of incremental computer organizational design approaches due to healthy competition. Now we have low energy ARM, blinding-fast laptops from the top 3 vendors, and ridiculous server metal like the 9754 and the 9474F for 6 TiB 2P systems.

I enjoyed both GGS and WTWRFN, but in a mode where I basically ignored the thesis, reading instead for the factual information so clearly presented. Like the coverage of the Polynesian diaspora in GGS that has really stuck with me.

> From what I recall one of the few things that did change was raising of payment limits for these devices over contactless cards, because they are deemed more secure (can't be used by just anyone that happens to have stolen it).

The limits are the same, but what these wallets added is on-device cardholder verification.

In a nutshell, it lets Apple Pay tell the terminal "the cardholder already did Face ID/Touch ID/entered their passcode; it's fine", which can then skip PIN entry or signature collection.

Other wallets do it differently and only prompt for that on-device authentication if the amount exceeds that where a PIN or signature would normally be required; yet others don't support it at all and just make you enter the PIN on the terminal (if there is any).
I think there’s much more of a sliding scale than that. Yes, there are very rich people who will drive no matter what. And there are a very small number of poor people who won’t drive no matter what. But in the middle sit a large number of people who are much more likely to use park and ride schemes and the like.

Good news is the city wins either way: if people still drive, city gets money. If people don’t drive, city has reduced congestion.
The morning after Gore/Lieberman lost the 2000 election, Joe went to a local diner for breakfast. There was a huge line of supporters there to show their appreciation and offer support after the loss. This was on CSPAN and I became mesmerized watching him work the line. With no one whispering in his ear, he talked to family after family after family and clearly knew them all. Any sense of sympathy for his loss was quickly flipped to concern and interest for the person in front of him. He would ask about an ailing mother, a daughter in her first year of college, a son starting a new job, etc... He knew all the names and important milestones that were happening in their lives. It just went on and on. One can argue about policies or whatever, but this was a senator who was in touch with his constituents and had incredible recall and empathy. I've still never seen anything like it. RIP.
people who need to monitor a lot of channels are usually in senior/leadership layer, but one technique usually they follow is focus on a specific problem and consequently some set of specific channels for few weeks or a month and shift focus as the project/task changes

how are you thinking about capturing such dynamic decisions to choose focus area, happening outside the communication tool - like zoom or meetings etc,... algorithm can be real-time but even with data points from meetings etc,... can it be made in such a real-time?

instagram feed algo is pretty real-time but the number of unique behaviours or behaviours to people ratio is quite low. but I'm guessing in a work environment that ratio or the unique behaviours would be too high for the algo to react quickly, right?
Gas tax doesn't even begin to cover the externalities of burning that gas. Vehicle taxes go entirely towards the administrative costs of vehicles (i.e. DMV) and also don't cover externalities. Sure the road is already built but it was funded by all tax payers, not all of which drive cars. And roads require maintenance, also tax payer funded. Society at large subsidizes cars and drivers, giving them huge chunks of land while making most cities inhospitable to pedestrians, causing almost as many deaths as guns in the US. A giant, heavy, extremely dangerous machine is just about the worst way to transport people. Maybe we should stop subsidizing it entirely and taxing it to lower use like we did with cigarettes?

Anecdote. I saw him talk on stage ant Psychedelic Science '23 about his MDMA experiences and he recounted how in his 3-4th experience he did it alone and at home and he felt nothing but hours of anger and rage. He didn't go into more detail about it but it raised an a big eyebrow and left me confused how that could happen.

sudden anger seemed to be reflected in the witness accounts from ex girlfriends and a recent YouTube video of a reporter, Scott Carney, who recounted being befriended by Huberman, ghosted, ghosted again on a trip that involved learning to dive and swim with shark. The journalist had a scathing impression of Huberman.

> I believe there is a button you can press to have the number changed.

That's for the Apple Card's virtual card number, which is just a regular old PAN. There is no such button for the DPAN, to my knowledge.
That’s right, MCAS (originally) was fed by only one of the two AOA sensors (on the side of the pilot flying, if I’m not mistaken).
There is a demand for more luxurious aircraft travel, but at the moment it's too costly to provide.

If BWBs become a thing, maybe the value of cabin space will decrease to the point where paying for a business class - or even premium economy - seat for long-haul travel is attractive for more people.

I did some Googling and apparently the base price ratio for business class to economy class is about 3.6 to 1. Some of that is all the other frippery - lounge access, priority baggage, better food, more personal service etc. etc. So at a rough guess providing just the bigger seat would attract a premium of maybe 3x economy class.

At the moment, New York-London with United is about $600 and business maybe $1800-$2000 (so perhaps a little bit under the expected premium, but in the ballpark). For most people, an extra $1400 is a big ask.

But imagine a world where the economy flight is $200 and business class $700. I suspect a lot more people would choose business class in those circumstances.

As siblings noted, there are some sprinkled through, particularly as the ages advance.

The out of universe answer is probably that Tolkien probably very much enjoyed making up these names, as an exercise in playing with and building his languages and world. He likely would have only fallen back to numbers either when truly and deeply stumped (I don't think this really would have happened often), or to signal something.

I also believe you can also see some of the Old English influence on Tolkien here. If you look at the Anglo-Saxon Kings, you see relatively little re-use of names. Instead (going off the top) you get Egbert, Ethelwulf, Ethelbald, Ethelbert.

- No ability to use secrets as environment variables, and no plans to change this

- Cannot use `network_mode` to specify a service to use for network connections a la Docker Compose

There were a few other minor issues which resulted in ditching Docker Swarm completely and moving to a Nomad + Consul stack instead.

Are you aware how Macs present memory? Their 'unified' memory approach means you could run an 80GB model on a 128GB machine.

Nah. Those tolls go to new york. The people being taxed are predominantly from NJ. Our gov just raised the gas tax to help fund the transit system here, and he’s also suing NY over these tolls. Feel however you want about this, it’s a complicated issue because of our patchworks of states vs federal control.
A couple of times that lack of signature verification tripped up a cashier, they’re obviously used to always needing it with however their terminal was configured, but with Apple Pay the receipt got printed with no signature line and after looking at it funny they’re like, “oh, well here’s you’re receipt I guess you don’t need to sign!”
Are you sure you're not mixing up phone and watch payments? And is this with a Mastercard or Visa card, or something region-specific?

The DPAN has always been constant in many years of using Apple Pay for me, which is useful to e.g. check which card I've actually used on by comparing the last four digits printed on a receipt to those I can see on my phone or watch (the card details show both the funding and the DPAN last four digits).

Generated complaint about Hacker News

"My complaint about Hacker News:

Allow me the honor of giving you a brief lesson in Hacker News’s many inconsiderate attributes. Without going into all the gory details, let’s just say that if you’re like me, you thought that Hacker News’s confederacy of aggressive, unmannerly utopians couldn’t get any more sanguinary. Then in strutted one of Hacker News’s proselytizers to prove me wrong. This nitpicky, treasonous pseudologist was so disagreeable as to insist that Hacker News’s blessing is the equivalent of a papal imprimatur. That is the most despicable lie I have ever heard in my entire life. As a parenthetical note, Hacker News is a serial hypocrite who preaches morality and virtue while simultaneously putting some hebetudinous, irrational makebate up on a pedestal. I explained the reason for that just a moment ago. If you don’t mind, though, I’ll go ahead and explain it again. To begin with, Hacker News is causing all sorts of problems for us. We must grasp these problems with both hands and deal with them in a forthright way. All this leaves one wondering just what’s going on in Hacker News’s self-seeking, exploitative head. The answer, of course, is that if you are not smart enough to realize this, then you become the victim of your own ignorance. That’s all I have to say. Thanks for letting me express my feelings."
But who exactly are these people living in transit starved outer boroughs that drive into Manhattan for work every day? Bearing in mind that these people will also need to pay for parking in the city.

I don’t doubt that some exist but they have something of a mythical quality to them. Frequently invoked, rarely seen.
Sure, Boeing’s desperate attempts to “grandfather” in this plane under the original type certificate constituted the root cause for all this.

My question here though was specifically whether, as the article alleges, MAX-specific simulator training (whether required or not) would have exposed this problem in time to prevent the accidents. And I don’t think it would.

Most successful occupiers seem to intermarry into the society they are occupying. Without this, there is always a clear distinction between occupier and occupied, that even shared culture, language, and religion will not smooth over.

Fair point.

You're right that total complexity across the system fundamentally doesn't change (it's up to the devs and the problems at hand). Local complexity in each part of the system can vary, but the whole will probably always be least as complex as it needs to be.
I guess it could vary by location. My local Walmart is the only place I go to regularly where I have to insert my card instead of tapping.
The last paragraph gets to this, but the ways engineers and scientists imagine the mind works are nothing like how it actually works.

Yes, that is still true – AmEx own their own payment processing network, and they do not allow outsiders into it, even banks they have the brand sharing agreements with, hence a separate retailer relationship.
> If we do offer a subscription, it will only ever be as an option alongside the perpetual model, for those who prefer it

Canva is into AI.

They will most certainly add AI features in affinity.

You cannot run proprietary AI models (ie. the secret sauce) locally or people will steal them.

So… the models will run in the cloud.

Running cloud services costs money.

You cannot have a perpetual model (ie. pay once, use forever) for an AI enabled cloud product. Especially very expensive cloud GPUs. It’s just basic economic fact.

So, we can expect a future where there are different tiers of affinity products for subscription and non subscription users, maybe with a credits model, like photoshop.

Canva knows this.

Everyone knows this.

So… you know. It’s bit of a laugh really.

I think Hamas in its curent form is finished. It may appear it is receiving international support but it’s probably a reaction towards Israel’s indiscriminate harm to civilian Gazans. Lots of children dead, lots and lots. An act of terrorism met with a tenfold response in terrorism and violence is needless and cannot be condoned. Not that Israel doesn’t have a right to defent itself, it surely does but the current right wing leadership doesn’t shy away from seizing as much land and kicking out palestinians away from their lands, many times simply in a retaliatory fashion. No amount of excuses justify that. If the Palestinians stop defending themselves with terrorism would Israel play nice? I’d love to see that scenario. If something changes with Palestinians something must also change with Israelis too.
The examples in the article are rather cherry-picked. Failures in Vietnam can hardly be blamed on an IBM 360 only. The Hamas attack might have surprised Israel but the Iron Dome has been tech working well in recent years. The US warned anybody who wanted to listen (not many) that Russia was about to attack Ukraine. And it was a bunch of rather theoretical physicists who built the atomic bomb.
I'm glad the cashiers in your country took it that well!

I've heard of a few cases of surprised employees getting suspicious or outright hostile in the early Apple Pay days (when it wasn't available to domestic cardholders yet and only tourists would use it)

This might be largely due to a strong culture of cashiers expecting to be handed over your card and them being the ones to insert it into the terminal (which is quite ridiculous – it causes the terminal to be pivoted between cashier and customer twice for each transaction for the mandatory PIN entry).
Exactly. That's the distinction. While you can chose other people in most roles for your kids, you cannot pick their grandparents.
I’m part of the engineering team and I wanted to share a little bit about the engineering bit of it. We’ve used LLMs extensively across the product. Our general approach has been to use GPT-4 for the higher order stuff and then using 3.5 for the actual execution of the individual actions.
We’re using vocode for audio, and playwright + webrtc for the video part.
I've heard this and been meaning to try it out. Linq-to-SQL really bit me a decade ago and pushed me to Dapper but I have always liked the way EF did migrations.
The assumption here is that being good at a job is what 'earns' a promotion.

In fact, it can be the opposite; why risk promoting someone to a new role, when they are doing great at the current one?

What actually marks someone for promotion is clear potential for the target role, sometimes despite a not-so-good current performance, indeed sometimes because of it.
You should pay more because you aren't covering the actual costs.
> included Math Blasters

This type of practice has been shown to be harmful compared to conventional math practice.

> Oregon Trail

Oregon Trail was great. The dozens of hours I spent playing Big Top, One on One, Lode Runner, Pipe Dream, Test Drive I, etc, in schools--- less so.

And even for Oregon Trail, you got most of the value out of a couple of playthroughs. And mostly it's to learn "life on the frontier was hard" and "it's fun to shoot buffalo." You could have basically the same fun and more learning with a classroom-scale simulation.

(Rocky's Boots was fantastic, too).

> things like Duo Lingo.

Things like Duolingo, MathCounts Trainer, etc-- they have limited educational value but there's a huge subpopulation of students who will become addicted to them and use them in amounts that are well past the point of diminishing returns and a distraction to their learning overall.

> Where do you think it went wrong and what kinds of products are you talking about?

There's also a big tendency as instructors to pick up things like Kahoot/Quizizz/Khan and just give them to your class instead of actively instructing. It's easy. It takes little prep.

Small amounts of these things with adequate supervision can absolutely enrich the educational environment and provide feedback on how things are going. But they are overused and harm is readily observable. Not to mention that you need to be vigilant as a hawk to prevent cyberbullying, gaming, and abuse in alternate tabs.

There's a zillion edtech vendors who tell you they can sell you something to make your classroom run better. But in the end, the way a school really works is based on a social relationship between the students and the instructor, and excessive use of technology gets in the way of this. And when I say "excessive", I really mean "more than a little bit."
