> it was impossible to put more than a single AGP slot on a motherboard.

AGP is just PCI on steroids[0], so it's less than impossible and more like prohibitively expensive, because it would require an additional run to a dual-AGP-ported memory controller (which resided in the chipset in the times of AGP) which did not exist or additional system chipset, probably with it's own memory and all those SMP shenanigans from that.

BTW I think I heard about some motherboard which had two AGP slots, but the second one was AGP only physically/electrically, running over a standard PCI bus. But maybe my brain is just making things...

Nearly every N64 emulator will let you run at an unlimited frame rate.

There is almost no performance difference between an emulated and the recompiled version.

I wonder if this depends on the Hertz franchise location? I've rented EVs from Hertz at the Fort Lauderdale airport twice and had a great experience with things costing just what I expected. It was a great way to learn about EVs: my new car is a Volvo C40 mostly because I had such a good experience with a Polestar from Hertz.

> Perhaps disabling System Integrity Protection disables the malware scan too? I haven't checked this, but it's not really viable for me as a Mac software developer, because I need to test the same runtime environment as my users, otherwise I could write code that works for me but not for my users.

I'd be a bit careful here by the way. Disabling SIP results in other weird differences too, that may cause programs to run for you but not most of your users.

For example, LD_ and DYLD_ environment variables are no longer sanitized [1] for system processes.

Fun fact: the GitHub Actions Mac environment also disables SIP. So it might run for you and in CI, but not for your users.

Class action is often prohibited through terms that force you to act solely and also they require arbitration. This sort of thing should be banned and made retroactive.
> There are still costs for backhaul, interconnect, colocation space, dark fiber, network hardware, and transit to fill the gaps.

Genuine question - aren't those gaps essentially what make a video streaming service operate at scale though? It'd be like saying "ya this bus can get everyone from NYC to Philly at $10 but doesn't stop anywhere in between", or am I missing something about all of those gap filling components?
How about the gaslighting that happens from couriers around missed deliveries (we tried but you were not home) when no damn delivery attempt was made?
it's different at scale, and you mostly don't need SSDs since you have cache boxes, most your storage is videos that are very rarely used. You're looking at probably a rack of SSDs for every 5-10 racks of spinning disks X 3 datacentres. Even that would give you approx 50-90PB of usable storage (replicated so it's in all three sites) for a few tens of thousands a month.

Even if you just put it all on S3 infrequent, which would be one of the most expensive ways of doing it, it's still not really expensive compared to serving the content.
The healthcare industry in the US sometimes gets me to seriously consider seeing a shaman next time I get sick
I have MS and receive an Ocrevus infusion every six months. It's a labyrinth of a process. UHC (insurer) sub-contracts(?) to CVS Caremark to provide specialty drugs. CVS insists on calling me to confirm they can ship it to my house. F no! I'm not running an IV for myself. Sort it out with the hospital.

Last go around, the hospital coded the drug as coming from their supply instead of CVS so I got a surprise bill for $130,000+

Luckily, I've been through the process so there's records of the normal billing path. I fought the Hospital billing department and 5 months later I'm billed $700 which was about the expected amount.

It was still stressful and time consuming to figure out if I screwed up to the tune of 6 figures.

The piece I like about this is less the manual about how to do the things—although that's always helpful—but the information about parts and labor. I assume the cost of things is out of date, but it's nice to have some baseline for labor time. Most folks (with ICE vehicles anyway) aren't doing most maintenance or repairs, so reducing the information asymmetry with various repair shops is a welcome tool.
The point, which the author discusses at length, seems to be that different letter pairs match up in different ways, which needs to be accounted for.

Great read, thanks for sharing
This from the same company that insists on auto-deleting all old Slack and e-mail messages, to limit discoverability. And refuses to give you a larger e-mailbox than 4GB, for the same reason.

Hmm.
This isn't true for many makes and models. It's different than older models because troubleshooting or servicing starts with interrogating or commanding the car with specific software that isn't basic OBDII but with OBD adapters and cheap software both my 2010's Volkswagen and Jeeps can be diagnosed and serviced with an OBD reader.

Ironically my old Toyota is one of the hardest to really get at sensor and dealer-software changes.

In personal experience, VW manuals are atrocious to figure out while Toyota, at least around 2000 put out wonderful service manuals even if the ECU's are locked down.
So basically, the United States is incompetent and every other country in the world isn’t. Got it.
Any estimates on the mass yet? 100,800 mph and it didn't disintegrate immediately.. Wowzers.
Not even just first party. My partner uses Instagram on an iPad, and the app looks like trash. Just a zoomed in version of the phone UI. Facebook has infinite money, uses Instagram to drive further revenue, and even they cannot be bothered to give the app any TLC.
Side note: yes, and no (apparently!)

I am told if you use Stage Manager and you have the terminal app in the same stage as, say, your browser app or editor, it is not "in the background" as a process, even when it's occluded.

Though it seems to me that as soon as a window is taken full screen, it's on a new stage. So you have to use them windowed?

Or in Split View, which grants the same "both in the foreground" privileges.

Which is as bizarre and arbirary as much of the rest of iPadOS. Which as you suggest, needs to stop feeling so much like a 1980s co-operative multitasking system.

(Edit to add: I suppose it is not _ridiculous_ that multitasking is in some ways tied to visual presence: apps don't need to be quit, and that which is not on the screen is not running full time. Even if it does make it very difficult to use one for work. It's quite an iOS-ish thing, to make the relationship between what you can see and what is happening more concrete. The camera works this way after all.)
Why Innovator's Dilemma Doesn't Apply to AI
You can run a Terminal app in the background for 30s.

And an app could support Background App Refresh to get around this.
Does this follow the '{2|4} colors per 8x8 cell' limits?
Thing is, you can connect a keyboard and pointer device as you note, and it's still just as hard to "leverage the hardware capabilities".
It was definitely moving fast. After a quick browse, only 2 other fireballs were moving at least that fast in the CNEOS catalog (https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/fireballs/).

It would be interesting to know its velocity components. Hopefully NASA will have and report that data.
Great question and point. I was be surprised if there was not an incentive for the manager at each individual location to push up incidental charges.
Is it possible to use macOS and iOS without iCloud? I never tried.
There are some good points in here. However, it feels disingenuous with the author being a former surgeon general.

"the onus of the entire amount still fell on me due to my high-deductible health plan (HDHP)."

I mean, yeah, that's how HDHP works. Anyone in healthcare should understand that.
What I find interesting is how in OP's original tweet, more than half of the comments blame him for the cost. Shouldn't have gone to that hospital! (it was the closest one). Should've drunken more water! etc. pp.

Yep compensation for time must be required. Insurance companies, particularly in healthcare (Aetna especially), love subjecting customers to repeated calls with hour long wait times. They hope to just exhaust you from getting a claim honored.
Interesting.

Half the differences feel like optimizations, and the other half like game design.

And then you have the bugs. If you fall behind the slow computer players they travel at top speed forever and you can't win. That's either a bug, or it's intended to make losing feel more like losing just like winning feels more like a close contest, but I don't think games are designed to make losers feel like losers. They're supposed to be biased towards humans winning while feeling like there's real competition.

If you wrote a new racing game today from scratch you might not think about these things. Like keeping the same characters having the same relative skill levels throughout the tournament. You might not think of that and make all AI characters behave the same and they will feel less real.
If they're not significant, then why does youtube build ASICs for doing video encoding? See e.g., https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/04/youtube-is-now-build...

"The terminal gets killed after 30s in the background" and "you can't run a terminal app in the background" are functionally the same statement.
One of the problems here is that the patient can believe they're at an in-network provider — and be correct about that — and still get hit with "out of network" charges.

One of the linked articles[1] explains it slightly better:

> Surprise medical bills happen when a doctor or other provider who isn’t in a patient’s insurance network is unexpectedly involved in a patient’s care. Patients may go to a hospital that accepts their insurance, for example, but get treatment from emergency room physicians or anesthesiologists who don’t — and who then send patients big bills directly.

I've seen this in my own medical billing: often times, I will get bills (to the insurance) from "providers" I had no (direct) interaction with. And that's the thing: if a in-network provider contracts/vendors/(who knows, I don't know how their business is structured) to some other company, you get billed "randomly". Sometimes I can piece together exactly what action caused it (e.g., okay, that ultrasound is this random charge), but not all the time.

Insurers refuse to help: they claim it's not their problem, as they're not billing you. Providers will claim they know nothing; after all, it isn't them that billed you.

I’ve always been curious about how many different manuals there seem to be for every car. I know that the manufacturers create one for dealers and that there are/were companies that tear cars down to make their own, but it feels like when I’ve needed to go find instructions for things there’s a staggering variety of manuals of varying levels of helpfulness.

Even when I manage to find what I think is an FSM it seems a little hard to follow what’s really going on in a given section without reading the section for every other assembly involved.
For $700, I'll start my own IV.
A judge can still approve a class in those conditions.
It doesn’t matter which is a bigger target, it’s whether trains are a target at all. Vandalism definitely impacts cars; there are lots of issues with broken glass in cities around the world. Sometimes from a random person just smashing every car on the block, or for theft.

But trains are definitely a big target, given you’ll find them all sitting outside overnight in a remote lot which might not be protected very well.
I don’t think you can unfortunately, and arbitration should be banned. I’m not sure how a system overriding the legal system is allowed.
They’ve always been overkill for what most do with them. Lots of folks with iPad pros just want the really big screen and would otherwise be ok with midrange iPad power, but you can only get it with supercomputer internals.

I write that as an iPad Pro owner who really loves the device.
I would bet that they displayed high competence at discovering under-charge or forgot-to-charge incidents and swiftly remedied them.
Peer review. Those words mean something, your bias is showing
Russia is playing the game of “I have nukes, so I’m gonna do whatever I want. I got tons of oil and customers flush with money. Smuggle rings to get whatever parts I need.”

Ukraine is likely to lose. They’ve figured out precision destruction for less than a price of a car.

Iran is likely to follow. Western weapons are better but too expensive. This is a war of attrition.

Russia will keep on playing until Ukraine is bled dry.

The counter strategy is to strike hot but they got nukes and not directly at war with NATO.
Yeah, it's also missing a lot of the information for the 2004 325xit sports wagon. No info on the rear hatch wipers, glass, etc.
I think you have to go to forced arbitration instead of small claims. That process usually starts with paying a roughly $1000 fee to open the arbitration.
As a general rule, people stealing or otherwise breaking the law via companies get cut way more slack than random individuals.

Like, Wells Fargo set up millions of fraudulent accounts for its customers, and zero people went to jail.

Even if you accept the premise that upper level management somehow didn't know, a certain level of negligence should absolutely lead to prison time when the impact is this is large.
I don't know. Termius doesn't do that does it? (Background App Refresh I mean)

The workaround Termius apparently uses is absurd (and rather amusing): it adds location tracking it doesn't really need. Because apps that have location tracking enabled don't lose their connections:

This is a clever solution but it does have a Kafkaesque quality.

I expected that because I didn't just read "network routing", I read "homelab network routing", I don't 100% agree with the title but nowadays a homelab means docker containers and a reverse proxy to expose them all. Also Zoraxy sounds a lot like "proxy", so there's that.

Big trucks are subsidized for the reason that they bring products to market that would otherwise be unable to be economically transported.

So, you’d need a separate tariff for the big trucks, but you should tax them based on weight per axle.

Smaller vehicles could easily be taxed by weight per axle, which is the important factor for road damage. Just make sure that you’re fairly taxing all smaller vehicles equally, and not intentionally making it harder for EVs.
Sorry for now responding for now, and sorry for responding so briefly, but I just wanted to say thank you for your earnest and thoughtful response. You rock! I don't have the freetime to properly articulate my rebuttal, but I will say we are on the same page in many regards. I think the power of story is very important in the process of technological development, but I think 1) All stories, not just sci-fi are important for developers and 2) stories are the least important and most pre-determined aspect of the process. Humans tell and learn from stories and act has purpose and use everywhere, but they are also easily misinterpetted and used as inspiration for badness. Most of the billionaire pet projects fit under this umbrella. IMO Great sci-fi inspiration should be the sprinkles on top of a layer cake of development prowess, experience, thoughtfullness, and continued education in the craft.

Something like this happened to me - I'd rented one of their cars with no return date because I hadn't fully planned out a multi-week trip in the eastern USA. The staff member said this was fine; they'd put in a return date of a week or two and then keep pushing it back.

Five weeks later I returned the car and flew back home to Australia. Found letters that had been posted saying that the car hadn't been returned and was considered stolen.

> I think it is worth it for some games.

What types of games are you thinking?

Extrapolation isnt worth the chance of misprediction if it's a player movement based game.

The 'input latency' introduced by interpolating between frames is far different than typical 'input latency'. It's less than a single frame, and the game still renders movement at the same frame, just less movement. Most 'input latency' tests only test for _any_ movement, so those kinds of tests would detect 0 difference between 'interpolation', 'extrapolation' and 'render the exact game state'.

I'm a fast paced gamer, and I make fast paced games, I've never once 'felt' the input latency from interpolating the players position between simulation frames.
I had to look it up but if anyone is curious, Sway is a Wayland-based drop in replacement for i3, a tiling window manager.

I always wanted to get in to i3, but traditional window managers seem to work better with my brain.
This article really got into some specific complaints of the software. No advanced background processes, poor windowing, no permission to use JIT in apps, a better file browser, better audio/video streams handling...

You absolutely can.

Now the company has to pay one of their lawyers ($$$) to show up, or the claim is a default judgement, which they have to pay.

So the lawyer shows up and says blah blah mandatory binding arbitration. The judge can interrupt and say "don't care, judgement against, pay the man". Or the opposite, in which case at least you cost them more than they cost you.

Which is why they probably take the default judgement and pay you.
Because when you are Youtube, even relatively marginal cost improvements can be huge in absolute. There is also the UX of having to wait X minutes for an uploaded video to be ready that is improved by this.
> What happens to the other 73% of people?

Does a baby own a car? Half of all people are children or are in a care home! Huge misuse of statistics!

What about a wife using a husband's car? What about people who lease a car? They don't own it, so won't show up in your number. What about a taxi or rental car?

Again, when transformational technology appeared for transport - car - the government organised public transport. When books and educations became important, we organised public libraries. The idea that it's either UBI or we leave people to the wolves betrays a lack of thought.
Doing so wouldn’t hurt and would make a sizable impact at the scale of Google?
I dealt with this by switching to mosh which made sense anyways since, when I did use an iPad + terminal a lot, I was traveling a lot and consequently changing networks regularly. Conveniently, this also survives rebooting the device and OS upgrades (minor only? I think it survived the last major OS update as well).
Because significance varies, as does optimisation. At YouTube scale it might matter more, or the benefits might be bigger, even if just to save some energy or carbon footprint (and even that might be just for a compliance or marketing line).
> To find the chances of twelve guilty votes if each vote has an 86% chance of guilty, you need to raise 0.86 to the power of 12. This is 16.36%.

It’s a zoomed in version of the phone UI because it’s literally the iPhone app. Apple lets you run iPhone apps on iPad and that’s how they look.

Probably better off adding a shortcut to the website in this case, since Instagram is so determined to not have an iPad app.
Technically, 'yes', but with huge caveats. You will still show player movement at the same 'latency', just _less than a full simulation frames worth_.

The benefits _far_ outweigh the costs of the other options. Games look _horrible_ if you render the physics at a different frame rate than the rest of the game. Like, horridly bad.
Meanwhile, it's entirely possible to be out of 3000 dollars after an animal bite with a regular insurance plan. Nothing more than an x-ray and a couple stitches, and the out-of-pocket cost was 3000 dollars. One wonders where the premium goes.
Aside from charging to put gas in an EV, the amounts they are charging seem really high. How could filling a sedan with gas cost $200 to $400? That’s like 10x what the actual gas costs retail at the pump.
A bit of a mind-f*ck I hadn't considered before, but what if UBI isn't distributed by the government?
macOS yes, though it breaks a lot of the “just works” style integration. On iOS I don’t know how you’d install anything beyond the apps included out of the box so it would be very limited.
Infusion medicine isn't given in the normal gravity-fed IV route, they're precisely controlled for flow rate and time. It's a whole other ball game.
