Why is Apple getting singled out for this? I just checked, Dell and HP sell consumer-grade computers with 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSDs. The reason they do so is that for most users it's plenty.

My M1 Mac Mini with 8GB of RAM runs Xcode, the iOS Simulator, and a couple browser tabs on dual monitors without any hiccups. This is really a non-issue.

This interview on Fresh Air goes into why pagers have continued to be used in hospitals (tl;dr: cell-phone communication gives a faster turnaround, but the lower barrier to communication means that people will go to the on-call person more often than they would with the beeper where they’re more likely to find their own solution).

To reframe the problem with purely random "Tactics", some frequencies may be an inefficient way to get to desired states of the system. That is, it is useful to consider the correlation between random inputs across time.

This reminds me a lot of the problem space involving Perlin Noise. I'd hypothesize that by using a fractal noise pattern you can generate inputs with correlated values yet still remain random enough to get to any state. Have you tried using noise generators for random inputs?
Thank you.

“What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence” – Hitchen’s Razor
NEVER sacrifice your life for an artificial deadline.

How to determine if something is an artificial deadline? Because if it were a real deadline with significance to the business, they'd pull more hands on deck, remove roadblocks relentlessly day after day, and even offer to take portions of your work on themselves so that the deadlines can be met.

If they are not making such moves, rest assured that the deadline is not critical - but only required for some BS stack ranking, or for the management's own promotion. They WILL fire you after putting all the work if it fits their BS processes.

This is kind of true about all of Tech.

Much of the crowd here isn’t very smart.

They simply happened to be at the right place at the right time, ie a time where “software was eating the world” and also the iPhone/Android took over.

Finally, the success of the actual smart people in Tech (Google, Apple, Amazon, FB) who are largely pre-iPhone companies, meant that there was a lot of venture money flowing around, when the VCs discovered the Uber model. Spend a ton of money to establish monopolies (and break a bunch of laws along the way, which you could get away with because Tech still had a good reputation thanks again to the pre-iPhone pre Web 2.0 companies) and walk away with the money while exploiting customers, clients, governments and employees.
> This is a long-dead thread and we need not keep it alive.

Agreed.

You haven't outright admitted it, but your technique of repeatedly accusing those criticizing Israeli policies/atrocities as being racist while never addressing any of the Israeli atrocities is SOP for Zionists.

Good luck. Hopefully some day, you will consider the lives of the indigenous Palestinians of equal value to those of the brutal genocidal Israeli Jewish Zionist settler colonialists who stole the Palestinians homes, land, and the lives of their children, parents, brothers and sisters-- people who never had a quarrel with Jews before the Zionist Jews, of Europe, attacked them, and stole-- everything.
Aw man I wish I had this when I went in and converted mine to HDMI output.
I don't know the answer to that. But there's a pretty good chance the dust would get deflected in the boundary layer. The more problematic part is when you got to the orbit and there is no more air to form this boundary layer, and specks of dust will hit the balloon directly. I suspect that the microscopic holes that they form will let some of the gas out, but not enough to make a difference.
Sorry, not buying it. There's no way 20% of convictions are wrong. Even 1% is honestly pushing it, especially these days. Extrapolation from convictions overturned via the DNA evidence also results in about 0.5-1%.

I volunteered as an unpaid IT support at a non-profit working with ex-cons who were trying to get back to normal life. So I got to speak with lots of people who were actively trying to get away from the prison life. Some of _them_ were saying that _they_ met no innocent people in jail.

And this is not really an exaggeration. You can pull up a roster of prisoners in your local jail and try to do a search for their names. You'll find that pretty much everyone there has a loooong rap sheet, with jail time merely being the "crowning achievement".

And it's always the same pattern: a long list of crimes that result in no punishment (ignored fines, ignored community service, probation, ignored bench warrants, etc.) until they get unlucky and encounter a prosecutor or a judge who is not willing to tolerate bullshit. Or if they commit a grave crime that can't be ignored.

That's why I think that we should absolutely make jail time one of the _first_ deterrents. And this also should absolutely apply to juveniles (yes, "jail our kids").

HOWEVER, the jail terms also need to go down. Especially for the first time offenders. Not years and months, but days or weeks.

And there is solid research backing that up. It's the _inevitability_ of punishment that is the best deterrent, not the strictness of it (that's also why the death penalty is useless, btw).
Never perfectly enough. We can never know true knowledge/wisdom which is reserved for Gods. We can at most be lovers of knowledge/wisdom.

Of course not, they literally just figured out how to make it in a lab through what sounds like a very labor intensive process. They haven't (presumably) figured out how to mass manufacture it. They've probably just begun to characterize it's actual properties. Engineers haven't had their hands on it at all yet.

It's a very cool advance in science IMO! It's not a "product" and won't be for awhile. That's normal. Science isn't about making products.

There's also Sparkel, which uses a baking soda + citric acid powder in a separate reaction chamber. The cost is pretty low per bottle if you buy the bulk powders and mix it yourself; has been a while but when I had a Sparkel, I think I worked out that the cost was somewhere under 10 cents per 750ml bottle.

NOW has unflavored protein produced in a GMP-certified facility. You can also buy protein powder directly from dairy farms, which is helpful when there's a shortage/price-spike - I've bought from Dana farms. It's also significantly more fresh and tasteless. Buying from Dana Farms you can either buy it with a small amount of emulsifier to help it dissolve in water or just single-ingredient pure without that.

If purity is particularly important to you I'd recommend "isolate" over "concentrate", it will have even lower amounts of lactose, which can benefit people who are severely lactose-intolerant.

I don't have a good analytical response to this. Your comment doesn't pass the smell test for the following reason: I am a fairly serious jazz guitarist, and it seems to me like most great guitarists can be quickly identified by ear after playing three notes: Charlie Christian, Joe Pass, Blind Willie Johnson, Mary Halvorson, Django Reinhardt, etc. In some cases just one note is enough: B.B. King, Wes Montgomery, T-Bone Walker, Jimi Hendrix. (60 years later and still nobody plays octaves as well as Wes did).

Obviously some of their sound is tied to specific guitar models, but their tone is still easily identified on other guitars. And although these players were creative improvisers, that's not what I mean. Simply put: if it's a great guitarist, you can hear their hands like you can hear a singer's mouth. (Though hands are clumsy compared to mouths, and guitars are clumsy compared to horns.)

I am not anti-synth or anti-electronic music. But I do not believe any existing synth controller provides the expressive possibilities of an electric guitar, even Allan Holdsworth's goofy breath controller. Maybe I'm wrong and there's a great example out there on YouTube. But it seems to me that for an individual to express their individuality with a synth, they need to play a longer musical fragment and color their expression with timing, volume, vibrato, etc. Three notes "with pizazz" will not really be enough.

I doubt I’ll ever use Neon again after they had our production database go down several times over just a couple of months Q4 last year. We got tired of the downtime during an incident and we were able to spin up a Supabase PG instance and switch over to it faster than Neon could resolve the incident. It wound up taking them days to resolve it fully. They then increased the prices significantly about a month later. Given that it’s only been four months since these issues, I don’t think that they are serious people in the slightest and don’t trust them with a production database.
Almost always outside of crypto, the market makers and exchanges are different entities. Exchanges maintain order books- who is willing to buy or sell what, at what prices, plus a lot of rules about tie breaking, order visibility, "implied" prices (e.g. sometimes the combination of two products is logically equivalent to a third), etc. When orders "cross"- that is, someone is offering to buy at a price at least as good as someone is willing to sell for, the exchanges matches those participants and they are considered to have traded (though for a mix of technical and regulatory reasons, the trade actually settles two days later)

Market makers generally maintain offers to both buy and sell a product, generally ~all the time the market is open. For example, they might offer to buy up to 30 X for $0.99 or sell up to 70 for $1.01. If small buy and sell orders come in more or less randomly, the market maker will sell about as many X as they buy, for (1.01 - 0.99) a profit of 2c for each set of orders. The trick for a market maker is to offer the best price, so that they get any orders at all, while accounting for the risk that the person buying or selling from them (the liquidity taker) isn't just a random order, but is either market moving or correctly predicting the market is about to move- e.g. a market maker offering to buy a million shares of a X at $0.99 will lose a lot of money to someone who correctly predicted X is about to go to $0.70, and took them up on the full offer.

The basic argument that you are presenting here would also oppose unions fighting for better pay and conditions for workers.
They listened, and they valued the employee's opinions as not worth paying a salary for.
The idea is to stand up for the weaker party and that's it. It doesn't matter that Palestine is led by a terrorist group with a genocidal agenda with overwhelming popular support. They are weaker and therefore they can't be wrong, by virtue of being weaker they are automatically classified as oppressed and deserving of pity, whilst Israel being the stronger party makes it automatically the bad oppressive party in cartoon style. See also how no one doubts the obviously cooked numbers on Palestinian deaths. You can see this rationale mirrored exactly in the disproportionate criticism of Western states and specifically white settlers.
To the same end, when you hire human beings anticipate them standing up for what they believe in and occasionally inconveniencing your immoral business practices. Humans on both sides, opinions and your right to voice them on both sides.

What a soulless perspective.

Most people are not fully free to quit, having rent to pay, a work visa to maintain, or other circumstances.

Most software jobs are not paying their workers a salary for them to become soulless robots. They are paying you to produce code, and to have expertise on the matters at hand.

In a sense, you're getting paid so that you can tell your employer "No, this feature isn't quite right, it's easier to code this way".

This black-and-white "if you accept a salary to code, you also must turn off your brain and become a mindless automaton for your owners, or else quit" is ridiculous, and reality will always have more complexity.

You're of course welcome to willingly turn yourself into a robot slave in exchange for money, but I will remain a free opinionated human, regardless of whether I am taking a paycheck or not, and if the company does not want a human, they can fire me and try to replace me with someone like you, or with an AI.
It's not "abandoned"; it's just that most money today goes into curve fitting; but there are features which can be better realized with production systems, e.g. things like explainability or causality.

Unions work on the other end of that balance.

By enforcing a policy you have to accept that you can't hire from the unions that disqualify you as an employer based on it.
Occasionally but pretty rarely. By the time a trade has become actually risk free, as in "I can instantly buy X here and sell X there and make a profit", someone will have realized that and done the trade when it was almost risk free- the that the price is likely but not guaranteed to go up there- and made the trade first.

> This is just Apple marketing, defending a pricing and specification that is essentially robbery.

as someone more into the DIY PC space, this was my opinion for a long time. almost by reflex, I mentally tally up what it would cost to build a PC with similar specs or buy a windows laptop off the shelf and laugh at the suckers who buy apple. before "apple silicon" was a thing, they would often sell macbook pros for $2-3k that were multiple generations behind what windows OEMs were putting in their laptops.

but one day a very obvious realization hit me. apple has never competed on perf/$, and none of their customers care. their customers are very willing to pay extra or sacrifice on specs to get a well-integrated product with an OS that does not track their every move, does not shove ads down their throat, and reliably boots after an update. it's hard to put a dollar value on that or call certain SKUs "robbery" when nothing similar exists. if you want macOS or a chassis that doesn't look like it was designed by either a 14yo gamer or a 50yo corporate drone, there isn't much in the way of competition.

Yep, the “self-made” is absurd. We’re all so intertwined and the amount of people who help build a billionaires empire is never ever just the billionaire.

How many times have we seen a billionaire declare “look what I did!?” when something works, and then when something doesn’t work, suddenly they have a team behind them who messed up.

For so many of these people they take credit for the “self-made” wins and distribute blame amongst others when something goes wrong.
