Likely (can’t find the test code) tested on coefficients selected from the IEEE doubles in [-1, +1], so from a subset of numbers of the form m/2^n with m and n integers and m between 0 and 2^53 or thereabouts.

For this problem, I don’t see how that would give different results as picking any number in [-1, +1], but that’s not a priori guaranteed. Mathematicians are well-trained as nitpickers.
It's a good clip because people are here talking about it.
I agree that there's two things: doing something about it, which is hard, and complaining about it, which is easy. What I'm saying is, if you're going to complain about something, might as well complain about the real problem rather than a harmless symbolic representation of the problem.
I am not commenting on the part where they attributed the current court makeup to Bush.
The point is that it is the internal recording that is being touted. It captures log. It captures ProRes. Even without the special lens, it still does all of that. To show that off, they put a really nice piece of glass in front of it. Even if they disable all of the AI processing, it's still really clean video.

Today, what is a normal camera body? BlackMagic's cinema cameras are not much larger than an iPhone Pro Max Ultra+ model. I have seen the BMD 16mm format camera with giant Angénieux lenses attached to them. The camera is barely noticeable. Not really sure what you're point about the camera size is, and why you're so focused on it. The fact that a small device like a phone can create the clean log ProRes file is the point.
Not to complain about voting, but interestingly, I've advanced this theory multiple times on multiple venues and it gets downvoted without comment each time. Can't anyone actually come up with a counterargument, just for discussion's sake? Or simply ask a question that the proposal doesn't answer adequately?

I can't think of such a question, and apparently neither can anyone else. The only admissible conclusion is that Putin wants to turn Russia into North Korea.

Couldn't the higher-end / more expensive places just put their prices up by x% the same as a low-end place?

Is the fear that if both cheap and expensive places moved tipping to higher prices (as an example let's say every single restaurant just raised menu prices by 15%) then more people would choose to go cheaper than do in the current situation of not thinking about accurate total cost until it comes to paying the tip after the meal?

I know we all have cognitive biases so it's possible something like that would be the case, but from a purely logical point of view it seems that if people are happy to pay $500 per person for a meal and to tip $100 on top of that, then they should also be happy to pay $600 for a meal that doesn't need tipping, just the same as for meals that cost $15, and I feel that if it were a universal change (ie not just a single restaurant announcing "no tipping here" but a national or at least state-wide law) then there wouldn't be a huge amount of people chenging from visiting expensive to cheap places.

> "winners and losers if we switched systems, as with any change"

With many, even most, changes that's literally a requirement of the change - with tax changes that keep the total tax revenue the same you have to have some paying more in order to have others paying less. Or if the change is to raise more total tax revenue to fund more social benefits, some tax payers need to pay more in order for some people to get more help. Etc.

But in this case the only losers would come from other people acting on illogical cognitive biases (with the exception of people who currently choose not to tip, or to undertip, who would then be forced to pay the real amount - but surely those people aren't a significant lobbying group, not a sympathetic group that others feel need protecting). Unless I'm missing some part of the equation and there is actually a reason higher-end place for necessarily do worse under a system where tips are included in the sticker price?

If you're implying OpenBSD is fast, it certainly is not.

It's actually one of the slowest "main stream" OS around.
If you record it raw, and make some post-processing, you'd get very close.

The lenses are the most relevant part of a camera. Outside of that, the next most relevant part of the iPhone camera is software. (And I'm sure there's post-processing on that video too.)
I still don't think there's any significant difference. You can create popover elements without JavaScript, but you can also create divs with a high z-index without JavaScript. You can toggle popover visibility via CSS or click without JavaScript, but you can also do that with divs and a checkbox.

So you're fully on board with the idea that Tsai Ing-wen is the President of China, and anyone who thinks they see some important distinctions is just making a weird mistake?

Neither your first paragraph nor your second one manages to distinguish modern China from ancient Rome.

An important distinction is that this isn’t like swapping lenses on a DSLR or mirrorless camera. This was an additive optical path in front of the phone’s internal sensor and lenses.

It’s getting a lot of criticism, but I don’t see this as being all that different than the myriad of other things they used: From expensive lighting to special mounts, nothing about this was like handheld shooting and we knew that from the start. This add on was just one of many.
> But I genuinely don't think I've seen an attempt at a sum/union/enumerant/whatever syntax in a programming language that wasn't horrifyingly confusing.

Inheritance is something that needs to have some concrete implementation affordance. Baby in the bathwater? I don’t see how you bolt this onto the struct model in a way that gets out of the way for people who don’t want to use it (the zero-cost-abstraction (in the if you don’t use it sense) is important to some low-level languages).[1]

Maybe the designers of hypothetical language X thinks that algebraic data types is enough. What baby are you missing then?

[1] For algebraic data types: structs are straightforward enough. While the “sum type” can be implemented by leaving enough space for the largest variant. That one-size-fits-all strategy isn’t perfect for all use-cases but it seems to have been good enough for Rust which has a lot, a lot of design discussions over minutiae.

> You could say “shot on Sony A7iv,” and you’d still need very expensive lenses, lighting, and other gear

Not really. A very cinematic look is fairly achievable on any recent DSLR with a pretty run-of-the-mill 'holy trinity' set of lenses—14-24 ƒ/2.8, 24-70mm ƒ/2.8, 70-200mm ƒ/2.8—and a cloudy day.

Of course, each of these lenses are still a couple thousand each (less so if bought used), but they're workhorses and nearly every semi-pro photographer probably has at least one. I own a 70-200 ƒ/2.8 myself.

But compared to real cine gear, they're about an order of magnitude less costly.
The big difference is that there are very few valid use cases for popups, but many useful ones for popovers.

The problem with pushing opinionated changes on users that some people like is that many people will hate it. It sucks to wake up to a worse product that you use regularly. I personally dislike all of the fancy crap that Google regularly adds or changes in Photos.

For me a photo app is a utility tool. All it needs to do is let me view and share photos; the less I have to think about the UX beyond that the better. At some point I got fed up with Photos and now pay for a third party app primarily for the features that it doesn't have.
I am not getting such horrible vibes from the ad.

Maybe the strongest sense is that the iPad comes from the island of broken toys?

Slightly less emphatic but more sinister is that an iPad cannot help but involve itself in the destruction of the arts.

I do agree that the ad does not have any observable moral upside, and it was a mistake to run it.

But then again, if Apple did have a YouTube collection of ads that they chose not to run and discussion of why, it might be easier to trust them. They are so opaque at the moment that trust is a very big ask.

> You can make a very good living as a physician in the US without being a whore. Not worth my moral sense to make a few more dollars that won’t go to me directly anyway.

Certainly, but I was mostly referring here not to doctors who actually make more money due to pharma companies; but rather to doctors who are "lobbied" / "direct marketed" to by pharma companies, using steak dinners, free samples (implicitly, to dispense directly to patients without insurance coverage — big in e.g. psychiatry), exclusivity arrangements with HMO boards, and so forth.

There's also the propaganda level: full-page ads in industry publications, biased (but technically unaffiliated) guest speakers presenting at industry conferences as a condition of sponsorship of said conferences, etc.

(My own wife is an optician. If you ignore frames and just focus [heh] on lenses, the optical industry is essentially a specific instance of the "medical device" industry. The number of people from the lens companies who come in to "educate" staff on "relevant use-cases for" their new technologies, but who end up instead trying to feed them specific marketing spiels, is ridiculous. The quantity of submarine product pitches I see disguised as factual content when I flip through her trade magazines is also ridiculous. And the industry-sponsored content that she had to wade through as part of her degree was downright abominable.)

> So if you have a legal, generic drug here, it might be a 120% one, and your next refill might be an 80% one - you just got a 1/3 reduction in dose without warning.

I think you're speaking here of cases where a generic medicine is prescribed directly, which can get resolved to any old (white-label, store-brand?) formulation of the drug on each refill, or especially if you switch pharmacy.

But I was (clumsily) trying to motion at the idea of doctors prescribing an on-patent drug (that can only be manufactured by one company) vs. prescribing any specific brand of a sufficiently-effective, off-patent drug (where the lack of patent creates competition as many major pharma companies release their own formulations, which then lowers the price for all brands' versions of the drug, not just for the generic / white-label ones.)

This is specifically relevant in the case of patent lifetime extension — i.e. the classic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0VIOQ4OpD8 — though also then see https://www.reddit.com/r/patentlaw/comments/16dyvfi/drug_pat.... Regardless of who's responsibility this phenomenon is, it does happen — doctors prescribing (expensive) X+1 rather than (now-cheap) X, because X+1 is now the standard of care... even though X was fine last week.

The difference is in who they are selling the product to. The iPhone has a very broad audience, some of whom may want to do photography with very little understanding of the field. They see the product. They see the results. They don't see the context. Someone buying an A7iv probably has a stronger understanding of the field to start with. They are likely looking for a specific product for a specific reason. If they don't or aren't, they almost certainly would have a better idea of what they are getting into by the time they actually make the purchase. (Perhaps through their own research, if not the up-sell would clue them in).
