Sure, but some people suffer some small depression and recover and others more profound depression and need more extensive treatment. I think we can all recognize that these two situations are different.

So if there’s a pet ban for whatever reason it’s reasonable to extend an exception to help those with significant suffering while it would be unreasonable to extend the same to me.
They aren’t some kind of mystical magic talisman, just a bunch of wood and metal. Might as well say you need a seriously good argument to crush a dining room table.

People struggle to find someone to take their crappy upright pianos for free because they are worthless. Violin players refer to cheap student instruments as violin shaped objects. You can have a trumpet shipped to your door with same day delivery for $90 on Amazon.
Very few ads feel like art to me, but this one did.

The message to me is anti-tech, though.

All these wonderful things are taken away from us, and instead we just get an iPad.

I mean, I have an iPad, and it's a cool gadget, but it's obviously no replacement for any one of the instruments getting crushed.
Yes, you're wrong. The giant hydraulic press from the ad doesn't exist.
I think it's actually "What you should do in order for us to make
more rapid progress is to make the electron microscope
100 times better" and the state of art at the time was "it can only resolve about
10 angstroms" or I guess 1nm. So 100x better would be 0.1 angstrom / 0.01 nm.

We have made some progress it seems. Googling I see "up to 0.05 nm" for transmission electron microscopes and "less than 0.1 nanometers" for scanning. https://www.kentfaith.co.uk/blog/article_which-electron-micr...

For comparison the distance between hydrogen nuclei in H2 is 0.074 nm I think.

You can see the shape of molecules but it's still a bit fuzzy to see individual atoms https://cosmosmagazine.com/science/chemistry/molecular-model...
The clear meaning I got from the ad was: we want to destroy everything and make you buy our product instead.

I know that wasn't what they were going for (I'm pretty sure, anyway), but it's very hard for me to interpret it differently.

I never connected it to the hydraulic press channel at all for some reason.
Having watched a whole bunch of hydraulic press content, it didn't stand out as particularly unreal. Books for instance violently explode when compressed.
And these categories aren’t known until you check out? Come on…
Because then open-ai won't honor the licence, once content goes through the LLM information laundering machine.
>In an alternative world, would you like to lie so much that you begin cheating on your spouse? After all, it starts with one small lie. And that your kids never trust you when they are older because they know how much you lied to them?

And that job interviews go poorly because they already know the previous lies at your previous employer?

These are absolutely wild examples that share so little relation to the conversation that I am actually left a bit confused and unsure how to respond.
Apple blatantly rips off 2008 LG phone ad in latest iPad commercial
Hi! I work at Jam. We are 100% remote.
Wasn't the exploding emoji an obvious giveaway that this wasn't supposed to be taken that seriously and was partly in jest? I think we may just have a lot of pent-up anger.
Then forget Windows. There are lots of ARM-based Linux machines out there and I don't know of any that can match the performance / watt that Apple gets.
Exactly. Had this put this exact video into some dystopian sci fi, it might be a suitable way to portray some villain or cynical mega-corporation as nihilistic.

But when a company uses this in an ad, THEY are the ones that come off as nihilists, and not in a good way.

If they wanted to express that the ipad CONTAINED all of those older things within it, they could have created this as something like Dr Strange would have done. Like make those items fly into a portal shaped like a giant ipad, and then shrink the ipad with all those items still inside.

Or at the very least, they could have presented the items to be destroyed like they were worn out and broken (and no longer in use), and then presented their destruction as giving them new life through recycling as an Ipad.

This ad will definitely pop into my head the next time I consider buying an Apple device, and not in a good way.
Please reread.

Here it is explicitly from the Rochester one

>Surgical Services – Referrals and coordination of care (as medically necessary)

>Orchiectomy – Urology (adults only)

>Gender-affirming Top Surgery – Plastic Surgery or Breast Surgery

Are you suggesting a top SURGERY is not a surgery? Why would they say adults only for the orchirctomy but not for the top surgery?

Second, puberty blockers are not always reversible. Please do not spread medical misinformation.
> An iPad is a homogeneous blob

A homogeneous blob wouldn’t do anything. You’re discounting complexity because it’s not staring you in the face.

> History of consumer electronics goes back maybe a century

Ceramics go back 9,000+ years and people where making glass 4,000 years ago but that history doesn’t count because…

Capacitors, batteries, metals, etc each have their own long history of development without which you didn’t get an iPad.

> The complexity of a harpsichord or piano was insane in a time before supply chains

They don’t use glass, ceramics, etc. It only seems complicated because you have some idea of all the steps involved. Meanwhile you can’t conceive of everything involved in making just the machines required for a single component.
Whenever Korean factories opened in Poland, that was the same conclusion. Workers were treated like shit.
Very cool project. Thanks for sharing it!
This was what I understood it to be as well, they let it split out by accident/enough group think. I’ve worked in tech long enough to firmly believe this sentiment exists.
Why are you tolerant to fine print being in absolutely everything, and people needing to do math to know how much a candy bar costs before reaching the checkout counter?

Regulation that protects the consumer while simply asking that the final price is displayed anywhere shouldn't really be controversial, it just seems that in the US these tricks by retailers have been so widespread that it's now normalized.
To each their own indeed. I was never a fan of linear games.

In Skyrim it took me multiple years to finally complete the main story line. I would always look for books, store potion ingredients, walk in the forest...

There's a big role play component in this. The game could learn from the players RP and improve.
Why not show all of these objects being put into a magicians top-hat and then pulling out the iPad at the end?
if it makes you feel better i’ve been using it ~20 years and still learning…
I never claimed the sites are bad. I specifically said ad tech is bad. I block ads, not web sites. You're trying to make my comment into something it is not.

Why do you need a precedent to pass a law that improves the situation for every consumer and doesn't harm anyone dishonest?
Amazon one-ups Apple in this regard.
Probably.

People forget that it's something like 5% of people who participate in online discussions, and it tends to be the most vocal outrage prone people.

I would guess the average person will see the headline, watch the ad, and think "Meh, it was kinda neat....anyway let me check out what the new iPad offers."
Most linux distributions include a package manager. The simplest way to install applications is to use the package manager.

For applications without a package manager, they usually have some way to install them. Traditionally that's untar; ./configure; make; make install

Do things by hand (write down your steps) and then decide if you need a tool for it.
Better to get rid of pet ban :) most are impractical. Animals are our friends and often family
Both things are true. Popups are more disruptive because they remain even after the page that spawned them is closed and often obscure their origin.
They got more attention with this apology than they would have gotten with any ad, at least from this crew.
Some filmmaker just ran the video backwards and it worked so much better
A took us a bit to want this:

We added a heterogeneous dataframe auto vectorizer to our oss lib last year for a few reasons. Imagine writing: `graphistry.nodes(cudf.read_parquet("logs/")).featurize(**optional_cfg).umap().plot()`

We like using UMAP, GNNs, etc for understanding heterogeneous data like logs and other event & entity data, so needed a way to easily handle date, string, JSON, etc columns. So automatic feature engineering that we could tweak later is important. Feature engineering is a bottleneck on bigger datasets, like working with 100K+ log lines or webpages, so we later added an optional GPU mode. The rest of our library can already run (opt-in) on GPUs, so that completed our flow of raw data => viz/AI/etc end-to-end on GPUs.

To your point... Most of our users need just numbers, dates, text, etc. We do occasionally hit the need for images... but it was easy to do externally and just append those columns. A one-size-fits-most is not obvious to me for embedding images when I think of our projects here. So this library is interesting to me if they can pick good encodings...
Payment policy is set by the individual hotels on booking.com, so sometimes it's pay on the spot, sometimes pay in advance. The same with cancellation.
They might make beautiful music but not beautiful piano music. The piano must exist in order to be recorded into the ipad, and recording isn't unique to ipads. You could play the piano samples via midi from the ipad but hundreds of other devices can also do that and that still wouldn't replicate from the player's perspective, actually playing a piano or and audiences experience of actually hearing a piano.
Yes, the web of 3 decades ago. The pre-advertising web. When there were barriers to entry. When there weren't bots, driven by profit motives.

I don't know why you continue to debate my lived experiences and personal preferences.
I'm amazed that in 2024 html/css doesn't have a tooltip attribute like there is for title
Tensorflow and PyTorch have been ported to use the accelerators on the M series of chips and they could just be deploying Mac Pros that are rack mounted. So Python.
Fairly certain a lot more western “technologist” types are looking up to them.

Im the same way with my keratoconus. Tired of seeing two balls in tennis, two red lights at night, etc.
The classic cars destroyed in movies are, quite often, not worth restoring, The Ferrari in Ferris Bueller's Day Off was a kit car, vehicles are often insurance write offs...there was a time when you could see cars in-frame were suddently 10 years older and tell that there was some destruction going to happen. I'm sure you can find some Italian Supercar destroyed for real in some Fast and the Furious type movie, but it's often not what it seems.

Is there also outcry when a Musician destroys a guitar on-stage?

My feeling at the ad wasn't particularly emotional, more curiosity at how much of it was real and how much wasnt. Speakers and art supplies aren't particularly expensive, and the Arcade machine wasn't recognizeably a machine worth keeping. There are plenty of used up pianos out there. The emoji was kinda funny...I don't know what that says about me.
I am quite confident that a skilled musician with an iPad (or, even more obviously, an electric keyboard with a MIDI cable to the iPad) can create music that is indistinguishable from a human playing a piano. The synthesizer will be able to replicate the sound of the best concert grand in the best auditorium, direct to your studio headphones.

I'm also quite sure even unskilled musicians will prefer the feel of practicing and playing on a slightly out-of-tune old upright to a cheap electric synth-action keyboard or (ugh) a glass touchscreen.

It's just a tool.
And yet my Google Wallet data going back 10 years is still around with no way for me to mass delete it.

There are 10^18 voxels in that cubic mm, so a petabyte (10^15 bytes) is not too bad. Must be a lot of empty space in there.

Put another way: this is pretty close to a football-field-sized cube, filled with sand. Each grain of sand is a voxel. The central bodies (soma) of neurons are about a yard wide at that scale.
Yep. Fortunately it’s far from standard practice around here. There are a few restaurants I know doing this. Most don’t. The restaurants who aren’t doing this nonsense have to be thrilled that the others have to compete honestly now.

> Peak-anything is just shorthand for "the first peak on record" because our culture and ability to record-keep has only really existed in a population and resource boom period.

Humans are presumably always going to want babies. There's nothing to really replace them.

On the other hand, coal/oil/pollution all seem highly likely to be a transient phase of industrialization. There's no reason to think we should ever go back to burning coal or oil once we have renewables.

Oil is tricky in that we do like plastic and there's no obvious alternate material, but the amount of oil needed for plastic will be minuscule compared to the amount of oil burned as we bootstrap to renewable energy sources.
This is the type of software that is "finished". I would expect the code to be pretty frozen.

That is the thing. USA people can do a lot to reduce their emissions. But when this anti-meat bullshit comes up, all it does is screw people from other countries that rely on meat due to their environment.

I am not from the USA, and got tired of whenever USA people do heavy anti-meat campaign people go bother me about it, but when I ask them what I am supposed to eat, then it is not their problem.
1. Conveys the idea that the ipad has all these creative / cultural digital services on it

2. Conveys the idea that it's thinner than ever

3. Seeing stuff get destroyed by a hydraulic press is attention grabbing, and gets you to look at the TV during that commercial break.

I get why they did it, it's striking. They just didn't understand just how massive the freakout in the creative arts industry is right now over technology companies, and why it would cause a backlash.
This closure syntax, with the vertical bars around the parameter:

peach {|h| ssh root@$h[name] $h[cmd] } $hosts

Does it harken back to some popular language? I first encountered it in nushell but now that I've seen it in elvish I'm wondering where it came from.
I don't know what figures you're seeing, and I suspect restrictions and taxes Switzerland imposes on its labor relative to SF are very different. But in addition, Basel is like 2-3 miles wide and well connected. It should be highly possible for lower wage workers (from 3 possible countries! It borders France and Germany) to commute there. Mulhouse average salary is ~50% of Basel and right next door and has very cheap rental prices. The SF Peninsula has slightly higher difficulties importing cheap labor.
The author makes some interesting points, but when I read this…

> But I’ve had patients with ADHD ask me to certify their snake. Sorry, I refuse to believe a snake can help you with ADHD

… I have more confidence in their class analysis than their clinical understanding of their own patients. I mean, I don’t personally have a snake, but I don’t see why it’s far fetched that having one would be helpful for managing my ADHD. It seems so obviously plausible that I don’t even know where I’d start trying to chip away at the refusal to believe it.
> By the same logic, two pro gamers play the same video game should always achieve the exact same score.

Both of those comparisons you've made have the human element included in them. The gamers don't follow the exact same path in a speedrun. The authors don't have the exact same instructions on what book to write.

If a musician plucks the iPad violin strings to make an A note, it will sound the same across all iPads, across all artists, every time without fail. But if that same musician plucks an A note on a violin, it will sound different every time, across different musicians, different violins, different pressures, different techniques, etc.

Ask a music lover which they'd prefer. An orchestra consisting of pre-recorded music from 80 iPads played over loudspeakers or a live symphony orchestra?
Ruby did it first, but it goes farther back at least to Smalltalk if not further.
Will they be using the ports that have been painstakingly made by open-source enthusiasts without having access to official Apple documentation?
I honestly don’t know all of them. Those are 2 examples I’m aware of.
Their Apple vision ad was very dystopian feeling and to me looks like the same team did this one. They seem really out of touch. Very negative vibes in these recent ads.
I believe the technology we are looking for is called "trees"
The topic has not been "hijacked by right-wing firebrands". It's just that they are the only ones still raising the issue openly.

Somehow the mainstream parties and especially the left have shifted from anti-racism to a blanket and absolute "immigration is good" and "all refugees welcome" consensus (and not only that but in some cases a stance that more diveristy should actually be encouraged) and anyone raising concerns is indeed labelled as "right-wing" or "far-right", which is not helpful at all.
Yes, totally.
Especially emotional responses.
I really like this idea. Are you doing anything to mitigate abuse (e.g. Base64-encoded binaries), or are there file size limits for text file uploads?
Like with cable or how streaming services are headed?
Back at you! I appreciate your points, and agree with your take on Dick, generally on Spielberg, and Scott; all well said.

I guess I believe film is an independent art form, but I'm generally a reader first, so I don't mind your proposed flow book -> film for analysis. In reality, we have directors/producers/studios/actors who may or may not want a lot to do with any given book; Dune's history stands out to me here.

If I think about films that have tried to do more than the source book, Bladerunner is the only one that's even a candidate to me. I guess I just really like it!
I don't personally play an instrument, but I can also understand that the physicality of keys, strings and pedals is innately different from tapping on a glass screen. A digital piano aims to replicate the sound a specific piano, and provide a piano-inspired interface for playing it.

A real piano is a big single use device, in theory yeah, but I imagine for the people playing it the direct control over the things making the sound that is irreplaceable. There's things that will always be impossible on a VST instrument because it's construction (Prepared Piano [0]), and vice versa [1]. They seem like two different avenues of artistic expression to me.

What a fantastic point. Well put, and it rings true for so many systems I interact with in life.
Despite what I may have made it seem, I actually quite like Go as a language, I just wouldn't call it elegant or pretty (though certainly not as ugly as some other languages out there), but it's very pragmatic.

It's been a long time since I've written any Perl, but I can say I don't care for it as much as I do Lisps in general.
It's not the good pet owners that are the problem, it's the bad ones.

The local hardware store used to allow pets in (mainly dogs) because they have a relatively large pet section.

They've stopped this after too many incidents with the dogs relieving themselves on the merchandise.
New York is really the only exception in the US to this - world class public transportation system both within downtown areas and out to the suburbs and beyond (Acella is what all of AmTrak should have been like).

Even here in San Francisco you need a car to get around efficiently (or use Uber which comes to a point where you might as well pay for a car), plus it's impossible to fully enjoy the natural beauty further afield without a car.

Some people just like to get offended by literally everything, even an ad with objects crushing. Sigh.
Economics. It's way cheaper to buy a few old instruments (buy extra in case you want to do multiple takes) and just record them being crushed than to pay a team computer artists for weeks to simulate the physics and draw this all in photorealistic CG.
How do you attack the actual thing? Some are trying with copyright lawsuits and potential gov't policy proposals I guess but it's much easier to attack a single company and get an army of outraged allies over something easily digestible (an advertisement).
You just have to watch Exodus: Gods and Kings and that'll tell you everything you need to know about how skilled Ridley Scott is at exploring religion.
Capillaries are around the same width as the central bodies (soma) of neurons
From what I had read from some of the upset people was that what’s wrong with the ad was in the realm of waste = bad. But I’m when I bring up the Hollywood example for waste, it goes out the window.
If this ad was part of a longer movie, would it be ok to crush them all?
If it was say a scene in a dictatorship story where people are not allowed to make new music or something, would someone talk about the waste of a perfectly good piano for the scene?
If there’s anything worse than paying tax, is having to waste my time paying tax when someone else could have done that for me, and more efficiently too.
