Totally agree. The people saying "but now we're talking about the iPad, mission accomplished!" isn't even marketing 101 grade.

Like saying that using the color red makes people think of a stop sign, so they won't buy your product.
> The other CPU catch back after several months, the Apple Silicon is a good marketing prowess, the reality is that Apple CPUs wins because they are the first on to be produced on a new lithography node, because Apple can book a larger quantity than anyone else.

Uh, but M2 on TSMC's N5 node is faster and more efficient than AMD's products fabbed with TSMC's N4 node. Edit: more efficient in general, but I meant "faster" in comparison with AMD's latest laptop chips.

Let's see what he has to say:

> But instruction sets only matter a little bit - you can lose 10%, or 20%, [of performance] because you're missing instructions.

20% is quite a lot in the current competitive landscape. Jim Keller is stuck thinking like it's 10+ years ago.
That's insane! With the low margins and seasonality in the hospitality business, delayed booking income can threaten bankruptcy to a small business.

I also try to always give preference to small hotels by booking them directly, but most of them are foolish and give better rates and terms through booking, and hard headed about it. Doing the opposite of what they should do from a business sense.
> You either get the symbolism of "let's crush all remaining vestiges of creative culture" or you don't.

Correction: you either choose to believe that's the symbolism, or you don't.

I "get" it, intellectually, but I don't think that was the intent of the advertiser, nor do I think it's the obvious interpretation of the ad. The obvious interpretation, to me, was "hey, we can piggyback on this hydraulic press channel meme and sell iPads!"

Tellingly, few people care that the hydraulic press channel exists, despite actually crushing all sorts of stuff [1]. See also: the viral "does it blend?" ads [2], and any number of music videos or performances where instruments are destroyed [3] (practically a meme unto itself), etc.

Very nice! It's impressive how much can be squeezed out of these Thinkpads. I daily drove an X230 until earlier this year, it's only a bit faster than the X201 and I basically used it in the same capacity - a jump box to other machines.

Then the question we're asking is "Can AI apply knowledge learned in one topic to another topic" and if the answer is yes, then the answer to "Can AI lie to me" is yes.
Yes, but that's a system problem, not a user problem. The comment I replied to posited that a specific user would collect 5% less data. If you add ~5% to your grant proposal, you get the same amount of data.

As for the system problem, that is solved by building 5% more observing capacity. Or, more realistically, starting new telescope projects slightly earlier. This really isn't as complicated as you're trying make it out to be. Pot, meet kettle.

I don't think calling genuine fear racist or xenophobic is very fair. For someone who's lived long enough to compare life 30 years ago and now (for example in Germany or Sweden) there are some obvious changes visible with equally observable consequences. You just know by paying attention and staying informed.

I think name calling and gaslighting is the biggest problem here because it poisons the whole discourse.
infinite complexity and choice sure is incompatible with security, I sadly can not even comprehend how we could move toward a more secure software future
(I'm not the person you're responding to, just an internet butthead)

Agreed that there is a broader replication crisis across many fields, so using replication as a necessary condition for being scientific has troubling existential ramifications even for disciplines most people would consider hard science.

There's the hard definition of science as being anything that rigorously applies the scientific method, and the one that includes the scientific method plus other behaviors, like professional standards and ethics. But even that is problematic in a lot of fields these days.

Generally, I don't think of social science as being science in the same way as, for example, physics, because it's often trying to answer questions that I don't believe can be reduced to a predictive theory. Anything involving declarations about how people behave—especially individuals, but even in aggregate—doesn't feel like a productive use of science.

That's one thing, and not by itself a problem, because hey, you never know, maybe someday they'll crack the problem. But the fact that social science often dresses itself in the costume of science in order to project authority is the real reason that I, personally, tend rush to point out that it's not 'real' science.

Having said that, would you believe I have a postgraduate degree in a social science discipline? It's true! Maybe that's why I can't stand it putting on airs.
> that an engineer needs to be forced to set while creating a socket

Because there aren't enough steps in setting up sockets! Haha.

I suspect that what would happen is that many of the programming language run-times in the world which have easier-to-use socket abstractions would pick a default and hide it from the programmer, so as not to expose an extra step.

>There definitely is such a thing as bad publicity, I wish people would stop using that phrase

the phrase "there's no such thing as bad PR" is meant to make you realize that there's more to PR than you... realize. It's in the style of something like a Buddhist koan. it's not meant to be taken literally or to an extreme. It's not a proof but it does describe a real phenomenon. You can't reject the phrase without rejecting its wisdom.

I hope, on that hill, you don't die as you plan to. Because you are very literal, aren't you.

I think the solution suggested by drawks seems clearly the correct choice:

> I think the proper solution would probably be to package both a "-full" and "-minimal" version of the software and utilize Debian package meta-data fields to define a Conflicts relationship between the packages and tag them also both with a Provides for keepassxc and also add a tag Replaces: keepassxc to the -full build so that during a package upgrade an existing user would be provided the version that continues to provide the features of the package which is being upgraded/replaced while new users can choose for themselves which of the versions they'd like to install

https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/10725#iss...

Why would this _not_ be the obvious choice?

Thank you for responding. Assuaged my curiosity :)
+1, great feedback
I think it's correct for the default package to be the safest-possible one. It's a password manager not an mp3 player.

Yes it's annoying that an existing behavior will change, but that problem is not more impportant than the problem of what should be the default behavior of a security app.

keepassxc should have always been like that by default and all the added conveniences that also add bug-surface and attack-surface should have always been things you have to go out of your way to add.

It wasn't and so now to fix that error requires a disrupting change, but that is not enough excuse for not fixing the error.

I think Veritasium made a really good video talking about some of the differential equations governing option pricing [1] which I found really fascinating. Patrick Boyle's video about Jim Simons' history is really interesting too [2].

Also just reading about Jim Simons' being an already-very-successful mathematician dropping everything to start a hedge fund and ending up extremely successful at the end of it was a bit of a wakeup call. Clearly this was an extremely smart dude (he was the chair of the math department at Stony Brook!), and so if this is interesting enough for someone like him, then it's probably something worth looking into.

I read through a book on basic trading strategies and I thought it was pretty interesting [3], though I've gone in a pretty different direction from what they taught.

If by “public place” you mean “place providing services to the public”, sure. Most such places have at least the right to refuse service and no one generally objects to that excluding non-service pets. If you mean publicly owned spaces, I think it’s reasonable to discuss indoor restrictions. Outdoor? Probably not beyond certain specific circumstances and accommodations.
Yes, an expensive mistake.

A big dividing line is between those who think people are a burden vs those who think they're an asset.

That depends entirely on the hotel. They can use one of the many booking systems that integrate with booking.com through XML or they can choose not to. If they choose not to, then they will have to manually sync availability and receive their bookings by e-mail. A nightmare, but their own fault for not running their business properly.

Hi, I work at Replay.io. There's a very good reason for that "custom browser" requirement.

Session replay tools like LogRocket or Jam do capture a lot of information, but they can only capture what's _in_ the page, and are thus limited by the JS execution environment and permissions. This is still very useful for seeing what the user did in the page, and you do get a good amount of detail (video, DOM, network).

Replay.io works by capturing the browser's calls into the operating system. (This is really complicated! Our fork of Chromium has thousands of lines of custom C++ and JS modifications in order to capture the runtime information and make it queryable.) That enables actually _debugging_ any line of code that ran at any time. That's something that session replay tools _can't_ do.

So, yes, both Replay.io and session replay tools let you _see_ what happened, but only Replay.io lets you _debug_ the code _as it ran originally_. And that's only possible because we do capture the _entire_ browser's execution.

We've got some sections in our docs that dive into this in more detail:

- https://docs.replay.io/time-travel-intro/what-is-time-travel...

- https://blog.replay.io/how-replay-works

- https://docs.replay.io/comparison/session-replay

Not only does Replay.io let you _debug_ recordings of bugs, we've got a Test Suites dashboard that lets you record Playwright or Cypress E2E tests _as they ran in CI_. This is possible because we can run your E2E tests with our own browser, and thus record them as they're running.

Finally, a sneak peak: we're currently prototyping some new advanced functionality that would actually _diff_ passing and failing E2E tests to figure out where a failing test went wrong, surface that info to developers, and help them identify common failure reasons in their tests ("27% of your failures in the last month were due to Apollo Client failing to connect"). Still very early, but we've got the core functionality working! Again, this is only possible because we've recorded the _entire_ browser's execution, and can then replay that browser at will and query for every bit of JS execution that happened.
It's cold and harsh, but yes that's just an anecdote. What do you mean extreme weather caused by technology?
The irony is not lost on me but you can get productive if you spend a weekend configuring stuff and then you upgrade as you go :)
I wondered about this too. One thing that did make sense to me was that these are for supporting features as-is on older devices by offloading on-device workloads to the cloud.

If you're releasing a bunch of new ML-powered features that are setup to run on-device, you have to have a cutoff for what generation of device is required. Apple has indicated with recent OpenELM model releases that they're targeting different levels of device capability. But you can only go so far.

For older devices, you can offload those tasks to the cloud, but then you have to maintain 2 different software stacks and there are potential compatibility issues.

If you have a bunch of M2Us in the cloud though, you have the exact same hardware that you're developing on-device for. If you package up the core software components as frameworks, you can run on device or in the cloud, and it MAYBE simplifies keeping the results and output in sync between the two.

Otherwise, it makes no sense from a pure performance perspective vs. just deploying racks of H100s...

I get your sentiment, but I feel like your view on iPads and there being no musicianship to it is just wrong. The instruments in garage band have velocity sensitivity and can be played expressively by tapping the screen just as you can tap the keys on a piano or hit the marimba with some mallets.

In fact on some of the synthesizers you gain an additional mode of expressiveness because you can adjust your input as you're playing notes, similar to MPE synthesizers like the Osmose.

An iPad is more than sufficient for making music.

I say this as someone that really enjoys playing my instruments (mostly guitars) and wouldn't trade the experience for an iPad ever.

Luckily, I can have both.

They didn't "gut what upstream built". He published it without plugins and made a -full version that include plugins. If plugins are plugged in as default it isn't a plugin but a built-in feature. This is the correct way.

I can't comprehend the hubris it took to conceive the idea that an iPad could replace an acoustic piano.
