OK GO did it in artistic expression (with a message of "be excellent to each other" even), not in a promise to destroy the concept of art.
Apple's new ad: a perfect reflection of society
I took the message that all that culture is now available in an even slimmer form factor. This is the problem with art. Unambiguous messaging is impossible as one casts a wider net of interpretation
People are thinking in terms of the male mechanism of reproduction and not the female mechanism of reproduction.

Trying to conceive is heavily reliant on timing the cycles so I doubt this something Huberman was unaware of. 6 cycles sounds about right as well. People shouldn't wait around when they're running out of time to have kids.

Looks like he attended hustle college.
Honestly, have you read his Twitter responses? They are frequently transphobic and conspiratorial. I didn't even have to look very hard to find him clearly calling COVID a "scamdemic" and heavily implying baseless election fraud.

None of the things you mention are valid excuses. This is why PR firms exist. He has chosen, in his hubris, to ignore them.

When someone buys the world's largest communication platform and then uses it to spread hate speech, conspiracy theories, and misinformation - that is absolutely worth criticism.

It got my attention during the live stream because of how macabre and “un-Apple” it was ( generally these are expected to be dorky cookie-cutter forgettable throwaways)

But it stuck a nerve imo because it’s the perfect representation of Apple these days. It’s the perfect comedy: powerful figure full of themselves thinks they are doing something profound and we laugh at them because of their lack of touch.

I didn’t keep up of the drama from the artists, but I’m sure it’s the usual melodrama similar to the AI one, which imo it’s a frivolous one other than the copyright aspect.
> governments could do a bit more by making more fine-grained choices

Governments can try but it comes down to whether immigrants want to immigrate to those countries.

I'm the child of immigrants, and my family decided to move to the US over Western Europe or Singapore specifically because the opportunities are greater and Americans are way more open-minded about immigrants mixing their home culture with their adopted culture.

At the end of the day, European countries will have to make the choice about whether they want to remain monoethnic entities (which itself was a result of ethnic cleansed during and after WW2) or whether they are open to a multicultural identity.

There's no point for skilled immigrants to go to Europe if they have the opportunity or pathway to PR or Citizenship in North America as salaries are higher, opportunities are greater, and the population is way less xenophobic (p.s. r/Canada is NOT representative of Canadians - and I lived in parts of BC where the Reform Party was extremely popular back in the day)

Why would a Mexican SWE want to move to Spain in order to earn peanuts and get called a "Sudaca" when they can earn a higher salary in El Paso or Dallas and still be a couple hours from home.

Ime, the personal ranking of countries for Asian immigrants (South, East, and Southeast) is as follows:

Tier 1 - US, Canada (backdoor to US via TN)

Tier 2 - UK, Australia, NZ, SG, Ireland, HK (before NSL)

Tier 3 - Rest of Western Europe

Tier 4 - East Asia, the Gulf, Malaysia

Most European countries are simply consolation prizes for immigrants. Plenty of people from my region of South Asia worked in the UK and Italy back in the day, but Canada and the US remains the primary goal.
Without Hanna and Lauri, you can't have a good hydraulic press moment.

It was obvious from the moment it started that it was CGI, so... no actual destruction occurred. Rewatching it, it seems rather random, like they wanted cinematographic moments, without any actual narrative. It was designed to be forgettable. Not a good use of marketing budget.
There is an ecosystem of third party tools that communicate calendar availability between platforms to help solve this problem

For those not well versed in the Stack Exchange network, what's the difference between Math Stack Exchange and Math Overflow?
Very true- I wonder if the prevailing interpretation would be different if this was 20 years ago. The destruction of all those tools would probably have a much more "punk rock" interpretation from people if Apple weren't the megacorp they are today.
Seems like a technical problem that could be solved, if they want to
A golf membership can cost 1000s of euro.. Any hobby costs money
no incentives.

just like the far right wrongly assumes social net make people not work, giving all the demands in for profit minded investors and banks remove all incentive to fund innovation. all corporations are milking 50s and 60s tech still, to great success. just like Disney was still milking 40s cartoons.

I didn't have the same feeling when I read the summary. It looks like they uncovered an important disconnect between academic research and real world.

From my experience, some academic fields are more prone to make mistakes because they don't get to test their ideas in a real environment. IC research is a prime example for this. You can't tell a class or a Ph.D. student to tape out a design to TSMC (or an imaginary local fab) to test their design. You can simulate up to a point, but the design never be built in millions and tested in billion scenarios.

So, simply saying that "we have the wrong assumptions about how these things are done" is a great correction signal which must be fired more frequently, to bring academia and industry to the same line, and maybe reduce the negative views they hold for each other.

...or I might be totally wrong, of course.
OneDrive sync and "rock-solid" in the same sentence? I beg to differ.

Frequent conflicts due to non-synced files, the client crashing, randomly failing auth, files that are indicated to be recent and in sync but really aren't, no proper debuggability, no insight into why things don't work if they (frequently) don't. I could go on. OneDrive is a very bad thing to reference in this context.

I personally don’t find the TUI idea compelling. I’d rather use a general purpose language like Rust or Python. Many powerful and mature frameworks are already available to build TUIs there. You want to optimise the average one-off hacked-up script writing experience. Most scripts are written in a hurry to accomplish some boring task or automation.

I would spend time building a top notch LSP for Elvish. Shell scripting languages tend to be highly untyped and flexible so building a good LSP will be tough here. But if you were able to build one that works really well you would have another really compelling reason to use Elvish.

P.S. I am aware that Elvish has a built in LSP. It’s somewhat basic though IIRC.
I do like that they did a simple apology. Most corporates these days will go out of their way with Weasley corporate speak to avoid saying as much
we're on a technical forum, but "low tech" isn't inherently inferior. All the MIDI's in the world can't truly replace a good ol' acoustic sound. That's why we still have Orchaestras.

The other half, sure. To think that all tech people are welcoming the current portrayal of AI/LLM's/Generative Art is simply tone deaf. Some of the most cynical detractors are in fact highly technical people.
True, true. The evil vizier-economist's answer would be to notice that statisticians tend to estimate the value of a human life at around $10 million on average, and then notice that raising a child in the United States costs a paltry $250,000 or so over 18 years, and finally start to wonder how they can facilitate smoothing out that discrepancy across space and time to the parents' benefit. I"m not crazy enough to think far along those dimensions, but there is a big mismatch here that I think would be core to any secular solution to the problem.
You can care about two things at the same time.
Cool didn't know we already have AGI. Thanks a lot!
This is a somewhat solved problem by hotel reservation platforms. Responsibility to notify the platform about availability changes are on the property owners. They pay some fines or (some other form of cost) if they have to cancel a reservation due to clashes.
What languages could fit that description today? I don't really understand what it even means but maybe I could understand better if I could look at examples in languages which have them.
Antitrust law is intended to do this. The general algorithm is:

- Company engages in unlawful anticompetitive behavior to drive competitors out-of-business

- A few years later, the FTC starts an investigation

- Competitors go out-of-business

- A few years later, the FTC possibly delivers a slap-on-the-wrist or possibly nothing at all

Microsoft played this game for many years in the eighties and nineties before there were any more serious consequences. They eventually came, but on the whole, Microsoft won big-time on anticompetitive behavior.
I'm not "anti immigration", but I would prefer if immigration had stricter rules in order to better integrate immigrants, reduce crime and lower costs.

We do have a very good safety net, so immigrants who don't contribute does not help the economy, they can be really expensive. In some extreme cases some get 100K+ USD in support yearly because they don't work, and that is when NOK is much weaker than it usually is.

Most of the money Norway spend on financial social assistance is on immigrants, even though they make up less than 20 % of the population. Depending on where immigration is from, the general economic benefit might be very negative or positive.

Generally I do think that someone who moves to another country should do what they can to become a part of society.
Considering [SPOILERS] the derivation of the evas from Shinji's dead mother and the heavy use of womb imagery as the pilot sits in amniotic-like fluid, arguably this is a valid interpretation of Evangelion lore.
I think the part that was really upsetting is they crushed real good objects. After all of that talks about climate friendly. They could have crushed 3D renderings and up the clip with “rendered on iPad. No harm was done on real objects.” And that would have been a good ad.

Experience in working with event-driven architecture
But that's not what I see! What I see is a beautifully crafted CGI animation that passionate people worked super hard on. The ad is technically very well done and the music suits it perfectly. And the message is about tech as a product for creative expression as opposed to content consumption.

The ad isn't about destruction just because it features destruction. We don't apply this standard to movies, books, or any other creative work.
The outrage is that supposed culture is being destroyed and turned into a soulless apple device. Apple implies that you can replace all the things with the ipad, which isn't true- you can't perfectly emulate a trumpet, for example. All in all a dystopian take
The people who liked the ad tend to be the same kind of people who think AI art is cool.
What amazes me is that an organic dye of this nature is still viable and recognizable after ~2000 years in the ground.

Seems to me this ought to spur on further research into the chemical.

(Given its nature and the way I've seen it prepared these days (on video, not in person) that it would have been much less stable (many organic dyes are very unstable).

This stability also suggests it must have been rather stable in use (togas dyed with it, etc.). Its stability would have made it even more valuable than otherwise.
Eh, I only just realized that this idea is basically the character Dixie Flatline from Neuromancer.
There's a lot to break down here, but I'll take the less obvious angle. If you're calling the shiny new iPad an "accessible, inexpensive device for the impoverished", Apple's multi-billion dollar, decades long marketing has clearly failed you.
> They make it really hard to even use their devices as computers.

that's a bit extreme. yeah, many of us had hoped ipad would be more of a laptop w no keyboard (vs a huge smartphone), but macbooks have long been the most capable dev laptops on the planet
From that updated article:

> Goel would also de-list and re-list apartments so that no one would see his bad reviews and use some of his fake accounts to write glowing, positive reviews for his other fake accounts. The indictment lists 19 separate apartments where Goel carried out the alleged scheme, including ones in Austin, Nashville, Malibu, Denver, and Los Angeles.

Does AirBnb do zero validation of listed properties?

I vaguely remember when they first started they would come out to the property to take pictures (maybe Brian himself?). I wouldn't expect that level of high touch onboarding, but at least very least some kind of "Does this property exist?" and basic address validation.
Always wonder how blind these company people are? If they would've shown this (the plan/proposal of the marketing agency) to anyone, they would've said it's a bit... Strange?

You abuse the term leaky abstraction here. That isn’t a leaky abstraction as a merge commit is literally a commit, isn’t it?
Apple sorry for smushing musical instruments and art supplies to advertise iPad

MO is for research-level discussions, questions are often bumped from one to the other (more often from MO to MSE).
Yeah, why learn to play an instrument with your caveman hands when you can rent an iPad and make something that sounds the same with the AI in Garageband!
If I had access to a hydraulic press, there’s plenty of times I might have crushed my guitar over the years. Learning an instrument has been very difficult and frustrating for me.
I'm not so optimistic these days. Poe's Law has long since died. Even if this was misunderstood sarcasm, you can probably find this opinion around the net (mayeb even further down the post).
Only at very low speeds, past 30km/h (18mph) the noise from the tyres starts to approach or surpass the noise from the engine so they're nearly equivalent.

I had not considered that option, thank you for sharing that someone had.

Conceptually it makes a lot more sense in reverse.

“Look at every type of creative tool and instrument *contained* within this thin iPad” is inspiring.

“Look at how we’ve crushed all these creative tools and instruments” is decidedly not.

> missed the mark

It didn’t! It is a good clip.

It accurately shows how tools are being replaced with digital and cloud. It’s a violent process and precious things get destroyed along the way. It totally hit the mark.

But true, it doesn’t make people want to go grab an ipad, so I get why they don’t want to use it.
hmm, thinking quickly, two things.

Firstly the brand feelings exist even with people who don't own anything to do with the brand. Again with the cars, car adverts mainly seek to install sentiment in non car owners.

Secondly, I think the ad "as art" on it's own is disturbing and menacing.
> Back then, squirrel fur was used as a fine lining for clothes and some people also had pet squirrels. They were particularly popular with women.

We are likely not talking about whole squirrels, but bits and pieces of them found on the burial sites.
I found it super ironic how they blathered on about all of the recycling going on in their products, then blatently show all those items being destroyed when they could clearly be recycled.

I love “Lost Cities Revealed with Albert Lin” — tech + archaeology + local community = genuine wonder
Could you relate this assertion back to your experience with the article at hand?
Actual destruction isn't relevant. The idea of destroying musical instruments because a new iPad is in town, is jarring. The ad lingers on pointless destruction. Why not spend the time showing the new iPad? It's sad when advertising is stuck so far up its own clever-hole, it loses grip on reality.

Edit: I just watched it again. It's definitely not obvious CGI, not sure how you can say that. Camera lenses shattering, paint spilling, wood splintering realistically.
Thank you! And thanks for raising that issue. I've pushed a fix that should hopefully mitigate this for you: it's possible to unselect, card images are hidden on mobile, and the invisible results area around a card (caused by the tallest card stretching the results area) should no longer intercept map touches. Let me know if it helps!
They made the battery on the 13" 5% smaller than the previous generation. They also write that they tested the device with auto-brightness disabled and brightness set at 50%. Not sure who the brightness slider works on the new iPads since the iPhones don't get max brightness unless auto-brightness is enabled. So 50% might be 1000/2=500 nits on the M4 iPad Pro and 600/2=300 nits on the M2 iPad Pro, or they might both be about 300 nits.
I'll be honest. Norway is not the top goal for most immigrants

I'm the child of immigrants and still have family in the old country, and my family decided to move to the US over Western Europe or Singapore specifically because the opportunities are greater and Americans are way more open-minded about immigrants mixing their home culture with their adopted culture.

At the end of the day, European countries will have to make the choice about whether they want to remain monoethnic entities (which itself was a result of ethnic cleansing during and after WW2) or whether they are open to a multicultural identity.

There's no point for skilled immigrants to go to Europe if they have the opportunity or pathway to PR or Citizenship in North America as salaries are higher, opportunities are greater, and the population is way less xenophobic (p.s. r/Canada is NOT representative of Canadians - and I lived in parts of BC where the Reform Party was extremely popular back in the day)

Most immigrants that you use for your archetype in Norway end up being refugees, and are themselves not representative of most immigrants even within Norway.

And I do have extended family in Scandanavia, and honestly, it sucks there from a xenophobia perspective, which pushed them to move to North America a couple years ago.

Also, those immigrants you are derisive about have kids who end up doing very well. Look at how overrepresented 2nd Gen Pakistani Norwegians are in Medicine and Law despite their parents working lower class jobs like janitorial work or taxi driving.
