It's great news to see competition to Macs. However, we need independent tests on it's efficiency. It doesn't matter if they're faster than Macs if they drain more battery. Also, at the end of the day, these chips will be inside Windows laptops. Windows OEM's ain't stealing Apple customers.
I was trying to remember this exact show to comment on... fantastic show, exciting and fairly accurate (to fiction terms) depiction of rise of PC & internet.
FWIW, I'm happy to see the "Yeah" there. But regarding the "and", it gets to the sincerity of the discussion. In a world where literally millions of people are texting from the drivers seat of a moving vehicle every day, freaking out on the internet about a handful of robots doing less dangerous stuff seems maybe a little performative.

It's inevitable that people with power will use that power to their advantage. But the degree and the ways in which this is possible permit a vast spectrum of degrees, and adjusting this is a feasible problem of mechanism design. Limited liability in its present form is not an inevitability

Direction requires UWB, which is unfortunately still scarcely supported by Android devices. I believe the only ones which have it are the Pixel Pro models (but not the base Pixels or A-series) and Samsungs S+/SU/Z models (but not the base S models or anything lower end) while the entire iPhone stack has had it since the iPhone 11.

When will we get precise positioning using UWB? UWB has been in three generations of Pixel phones now and I haven't been able to use it a single time. Not even once.

I want a direction finding arrow that points to my lost headphones case or my wife's phone. I want a smart door lock that unlocks automatically when I approach from the outside but not the inside. I want to stop relying on flaky Bluetooth for Tesla's car key. Why are there literally zero products on the market that support UWB on Android as far as I can tell?
If you're comparing a mechanical key switch with 4mm travel to a low-profile rubber dome with 2mm or less of travel, the rubber dome will probably feel like it actuates sooner—especially if the mechanical switch is one of the varieties that doesn't provide a distinct bump at the actuation point.
You are incentivized to user higher abstractions, sometimes for good reasons (portability, productivity, etc...).

But the higher you go, the more magic there is. On a DOS machine when x86 processors actually ended with "86", or on home computers like C64s and Amigas, everything was simple. No concurrency, no security, no networking, you had a processor and it ran instructions. You go from a character displayed on screen and with a little research, have a good idea about everything that happened down to the transistor. Now, it is impossible, most of the hardware components of a modern computer are made of little computers, each one orders of magnitude more complex than these early systems, many of them run encrypted software.

It means that now, software development is more about trying to get an idea of what the people who made the layer under yours were thinking about. It is becoming harder to go with first principles, too complex, it is therefore discouraged, as it is more likely to hurt productivity.

Sure and people fearful of horseless carriages in the 1890s are rightfully fearful of dying since:

* horseless carriages won't avoid running into things whereas horses can see and instinctively won't run into a wall

* the greater speed of horseless carriages in the 1890s without modern safety infrastructure like signs and traffic lights does greatly increase the risk of injury

For me it was realizing what autorun.inf is for, from that realizing some programs load texts and images off the same CD they came with and I can change those and change the program that way, then I discovered a few programs built around displaying unbundled HTML files and that I could change those in Notepad leading to the discovery of HTML and later JavaScript and by that point I was too far gone. So not exactly games, but these CDs and programs I was messing with were shareware CDs and their launchers so still kind of a +1 for games.

Sorry no, that's why you have a trial/probation period even in Europe, ranging from a month to a couple of years when you can fire them without any cause or severance.

It's precisely so you can gauge their performance on the job without any risk to the employer.

So what's the issue here?

But companies are being needlessly pedantic about only wanting to hire "the best of the best" and nothing else will suffice as if they're all working on problems the scale of Google or Astra Zeneca.

Here's a recent article saying that "EU jobs crisis as employers say applicants don't have the right skills"[1].

Well then, train them or be more flexible since people can also learn and train themselves if you give them the chance. No candidate will have 100% math to the skills you want.

Ooooh yeah, from experience, even the usual (thorough) suspects who over-over-over-spec cooling and power (as anyone here has heard an HPE Apollo 6500 at full fan speed can attest) have a hard time getting all the interconnects, pcie, firmware stuff up to snuff and running H24. Once it's setup it's amazing but the bringup can be rocky.

And I'm not even talking 100/400G network, wonderful wonderful hardware, good luck debugging and getting all the RoCE/RDMA/GPUDirect/StorageDirect/NCCL working (already a bit of pain on nvidia, with a large installed base...).

Either you want to learn all this stuff (for reasons) or you're dumping a lot of money on fast-evolving tech.

No, that‘s very common. I‘m peripherally involved in such a greenfield project, too. And my employer is (very) slowly switching existing WinForms applications to WPF. It‘s the new thing.

Got it. I think import/export is a solved problem, assuming you're OK with (at least temporarily) having your secrets unencrypted. Password managers already do this.

It's not a technical issue that's preventing Apple or Google from making their passkeys importable/exportable.

AirTags are not better in one very important way: they don't prevent theft. They will notify thieves that they are hidden in a valuable item that they are stealing if the thief carries an iPhone.

Tile has a feature where you can submit your info and sign some sort of extra contract stating that you won't use your Tile for stalking/illegal activity, and you can actually hide a Tile in your bike frame and it can be used to find your bike if it goes missing. AirTags are useless for this because Apple doesn't want them used for stalking.

The earliest Web Archive snapshot of this website is from 2020, and back then it looked almost the same, so it is not a "new era" AI generated garbo.

However in 2020 it the same `/download` link returned some executable. Probably it still does the same (because there is no point to make such links, when you can make a direct link), but it returns different content based on geography/cookies/etc.
I don't see why UWB should have anything to do with the Find My network. It's something the tag manufacturer would add separately. Since UWB range is lower than BLE range, the Find My network would get you close enough and then the manufacturer's app would enable you to use UWB.

So the answer is, whenever a manufacturer thinks it's worth including in the tag.

It’s so much worse on a Mac. Wrong OS, wrong CPU architecture. Never had any issue with it in deployment.

The other problem for me is, let’s say you’re in a hotel with crappy wifi and docker wants to download a large quantity of images, you’re in for a rough time.

There’s a very sharp downwards trajectory of user experience once you leave the happy path.
Curious to know about the home devices. I'd never allow any google hardware a permanent place in my home even if it's amazing, but it's hard to see another major tech co coming up with something better than Apple TV.

The Homepod is amazing too. It's stuck with Siri (is this what you mean?) but has fantastic sound that integrates with the TV for movies and Mac when playing music.
To my understanding, Pantheon is built from scratch, but it is still GTK. So it has a lot of similar fundamentals as GNOME.
Asking here, in the hope that someone can explain to me the following. I genuinely want to understand it.

What is the historical reason for having the OS manage the keyboard layout instead of the keyboard itself? If I tap on the key Z, it should, no matter what the OS wants, send Z, and the OS should receive and "print" Z. Why should the OS decide that sometimes Z becomes Y and other times Z (obviously depending on the layout)?

The same question applies to missing F keys (F19..?). Why should the OS limit itself to what keys it receives? I believe USB can transmit enough keycodes to include all available keys on all platforms.

The same applies to capital letters. Why is there only one keycode for "a" and "A"? The keyboard should send KC_SHFT+KC_A to let the OS know it is a capitalized A. Couldn't there just be another keycode for that? Why the OS should care if I pressed the shift or not? It should receive capital A. Isn't it the keyboard job to send the right keycode for whatever combination I tap?

We can run through USB gigabytes of 4K videos, but somehow we cannot have a separate keycode for each available letter in the world? Heck, QMK can send MIDI Notes through your keyboard, but somehow we cannot have a separate key for each letter in the world? I don't believe that nowadays it is a problem of memory or processing power.

I seriously believe that I'm missing something behind this architecture. Hope someone can explain the drawback in my way of thinking.
This is further afield, but it reminded me of the novel A Town Like Alice by Nevil Shute. The protagonist is an Englishwoman who inherits a legacy and uses it to open businesses that employ the women of an Australian outpost.
As one of the compounds that have a NFPA 704 (fire diamond) rating of 4 for every category, it is naturally extremely dangerous. Above 30 °C it can form explosive concentration of vapors with air. Its vapors are heavier than air. It is pyrophoric—can ignite spontaneously in contact with air, when even slightly impure. It can also readily form shock sensitive explosive compounds, and reacts violently with some fire suppressants, notably with halocarbons and water. It is highly toxic and symptoms of lower-level exposure may occur with up to 48 hours delay. Its acute toxicity is comparable to some nerve agents.

CVD, liquidations, funding, basis, and volume are all key factors to look at when evaluating the market. Aggr is a tool that makes it easy to gather all this information in one place. Aggr allows you to see and hear what's going on in the market in real time. With the Aggr tool you can visually see which exchanges are leading with buying volume and which exchanges lead with selling volume. When trading on a low time frame, Aggr is an excellent tool to give you context on the market. Aggr also works on a high time frame when you look and spot/perp volume and which exchanges are currently leading the market.

My 80s era BBC Micro came with a 6502 assembler as part of BASIC built into ROM.

It was a little quirky in that it was a two-pass assembler only if you put it inside a FOR loop and turned off unknown-identifier errors on the first pass. I was told you could write rudimentary assembler macros with judicious use of PROC but I could never get it working.
Is the styling of the paper really a barrier to understanding? Like, sure, this _could_ benefit outsiders, but I don't think most technical papers are written with the purpose of being accessible or aesthetic. And that's absolutely not a fault of academia.
Seems like an obvious case of "shades of grey" vs a binary thing.

Most people don't blatantly lie and claim they were the CEO of Apple. But does a random mid-level engineer at Apple slightly exaggerate their role on a team during an interview? Subjective, but likely very common.

Plus, many jobs are almost intractable to appropriately assign value to. If you were one of 5 people pitching a deal to a company, and it works, who's to say which person was the key to success? All 5 people might truly believe that they were the reason the deal closed and take credit for it in future interviews.

I'm sorry but the article employs the "Star Trek" method of wrapping complex phenomena into simple metaphors ("explosive decompression is like putting too much air into a balloon") But any truthful explanations of well known behavior, like self-sabotage for example, do not manifest. I'd rather see some guesses at an evolutionary cause of such things than attempts at poetry. It also seems like a cold reading with a cutesy innocence that belies feelings of superiority of having figured it all out. I think the writer is very talented though, so maybe something great will develop.
