Funny, I just recently commented on a different post laying out what I think is a disagreement with the basic idea here.

The assertion that "metaphysics fits enterprise software development discovery and implementation needs perfectly" overlooks a critical distinction between philosophical inquiry and practical application. Metaphysics, which delves into the nature of reality and existence, often involves abstract categorization and the pursuit of understanding universal truths. However, enterprise software development is fundamentally a practical discipline aimed at solving specific business problems.

When software engineers model a domain, they are not engaging in an Aristotelian or Platonic exercise to capture the true essence of entities. Instead, they are creating representations that are useful for achieving particular business objectives. The primary goal is not to uncover ontological truths but to develop functional, efficient, and scalable solutions that meet the needs of users and stakeholders.

Theoretical unifications and abstractions, while intellectually stimulating, can often lead to over-engineered solutions that do not align with the practical demands of enterprise software. Software development requires pragmatism: the ability to prioritize utility and business value over philosophical purity. Abstractions in software are useful only insofar as they contribute to the effectiveness and maintainability of the system within the context of its intended use.

I'm not suggesting there aren't some situations where applying metaphysical thinking can be helpful. However, using this approach as a general, top-down strategy doesn't make much sense. Software engineering, by definition, is a practical discipline, involving concerns and objectives that differ fundamentally from those of metaphysics.
At this point I can only guess that it's an explicit decision by Facebook not to support iPad — that is, they have some reason for wanting their user base to preference their interactions with the app using their phones
Any idea if you can use the proprietary nvidia driver for better gaming performance while running sway via nouveau? I'm still on i3 on my desktop but sway everywhere I have amdgpu or intel.
Yeah the main problem is it doesn't do what it's supposed to do, hard to pinpoint any one thing, but they keep pretending they need more miles/users to fix things, hard to believe when there's so many basic things they should have fixed already with the billions of miles they've got.
I think it gets a particularly bad rap among software developers because in a lot of areas you can do actual work on an iPad, but programming is an area where it’s still absolute shit with no signs of ever changing.

It’s possible to do SwiftUI development on device now, but god forbid you’re doing anything other than that (or even SwiftUI but it’s a real Xcode project already) then the iPad is practicaly useless.
Notable to me is it uses Java’s nee vector API: https://openjdk.org/jeps/469
Receipt later had a $100 "clean fee - interior ACCEPTED" after renting a car for two weeks. what?

I called customer service and they quickly removed it, but it left a bad taste in my mouth.

To be clear, there was rain so maybe a smudge of dirt near pedals, but car was kept clean throughout.
Was going to say this, being raised in Burbank but was taught what the highway numbers meant at a young age. I know quite a few people who could not conceptualize why it changed for north/south to east/west for a short period.
>If an animal demonstrated genuine human-level intelligence, such that it was obvious to all and no one could deny it, I think the clear majority of people would be willing to extend human-level rights to that animal.

You're probably right.

Then again, recent history hasn't bode well for whales, or the 50M or so human beings that other human beings keep enslaved in 2024.

Maybe AI just needs its own Short Circuit 2 story. I'm just having a hard time seeing that play out as opposed to Johnny Five ending up as a SaaS product.
An 'animation' tick can be (and should be) disconnected from the physics 'tick'. Physics/game logic 'ticks' should use a constant time so the simulation is more predictable and stable, a 'animation tick' can be exactly what the monitor refresh rate is and thus doesnt need 'interpolation between ticks'.
I’ve heard that helps a lot but I know new driver versions/etc can trigger a recompile. And the less common your setup the less likely it’s an issue.

I don’t think it’s an issue on Apple Silicon Macs(not sure) because like the iPhone there is a very tiny list of variables so precompiling is easy.
This +1000. The whole billing / insurance system is intended to wear you down in a cascading swarm of bullshit.

You want to know if a doctor is in network? Good luck, because the insurance company clearly states that they only provide that information on a best effort basis. The doctor can’t answer, as they refer you back to your insurance company.

You want an outpatient surgery? Great! Make sure your doctor and facility is in network, right? Oops, wrong again! You forgot about the anesthesiologist who you can’t pick ahead of time and is rarely in network. Good luck figuring that out later!

It’s intended to wear you down until you’re afraid of your “rating” aka credit score tanking enough that you just pay up.
I'm really surprised the iPad Pro isn't the thing people want: a tablet-computer.

Honestly, this is the perfect tool for both many people in tech as well as the average person. I have a macbook air, why not a pro? Because I need a glorified ssh machine that can do word processing, I can carry around light weight, has long battery life, and I can do some basic coding on. Everything else is done upstream on a compute platform. For the average person, they're doing the same non-compute tasks as me: browsing the internet and some word processing or slide making.

So why don't I have a device that I can basically run MacOS on and have a detachable keyboard (yes, I know these are sold). Apple should be able to corner this market, but they continually seem to fall flat on their face. Why did it take so long for the fucking iPad to have a natively supported app to markup PDFs. And why is it still terrible? Isn't that one of the most common use cases? I swear, tablet makers don't seem to actually understand how people use tablets nor laptops and it is really hindering their ability to innovate.

The iPad's greatest weakness is that its developers are trying to stuff a phone into a computer while being neither.

Ah, I missed that. Thank you.
Yeah, and he does. But as he is arguing, the cost is exhorbitant, and if he had known what the cost would be, he would have chosen to do it himself at home. Even if you have an HDHP (especially if you have an HDHP) this is how it should be.
> I like overkill in this case, its makes it a transparent device that completely gets out of the way.

I would agree but it only stays out of the way of a single app at a time.

Well I believe the technical limitation is Electron uses v8 which uses a jit which is not allowed due to not being able to modify executable pages.

This is a valid security decision IMO, but not everyone agrees including the EU.

What would I have to learn to understand all the maths in this post?
The US needs to adopt the healthcare model of Singapore. Universal coverage for everyone along with a strong private insurance market as well.

The problem is the current system is basically a giant jobs program. Healthcare spending is approximately 17% of US GDP. Politicians are terrified of rocking the boat on this, so the system will always remain broken.
You can get up to, I think, half a thousand cores in a single server, with multiple terabytes of RAM. You could run the entirety of Wikipedia's or Stack Overflow's o Hacker News's business logic in RAM on one server, though you'd still want replicas for bandwidth scaling and failover. Vertical scaling should certainly get back in vogue.

Not to mention that individual servers, no matter how expensive, cost a tiny fraction of the equivalent cloud.

Remember the LMAX Disruptor hype? Their pattern was essentially to funnel all the data for the entire business logic onto one core, and make sure that core doesn't take any bullshit - write the fastest L1-cacheable nonblocking serial code with input and output in ring buffers. Pipelined business processes can use one core per pipeline stage. They benchmarked 20 million transactions per second with this pattern - in 2011. They ran a stock exchange on it.
Greetings from Australia. My brother has MS and gets a monthly infusion of Tysabri. All he does is show his Medicare card and it doesn't cost him anything.
The premiums go to subsidize other people's even more expensive care, like $80k helicopter rides, or $100k heart surgeries.
I have that Magic Keyboard and would love to have the option to run real Linux via https://getutm.app/. The iPad is fully capable of this, but it is a pain because you have to jailbreak it. Ugh.
Obviously title is clickbait - OP basically deployed a whole set of pods including a db and api layer, basically the entire stack, for each new customer. This is difficulty level "nightmare" and not how most people probably use k8s.

This design has its place and I've built variation of this before, the challenges of doing it this way have nothing to do with k8s IMO. In fact k8s makes it considerably easier to implement which I think is true challenge here - it gives you just enough rope to hang yourself.
This is the recommended height for bluegrass.
You definitely can't run nouveau at the same time as the propriety drivers. You can just use the proprietary drivers though. I don't know my exact stack, but I have definitely run CUDA and ROCm software while using Sway.

In all these cases, there is one constant: the patients get treated, and treated well. That's not the issue. It operates for the good of the patients (whereas for example, the NHS often gets criticized ...)

It's the billing afterwards that's the issue.
I think you are ignoring the most fundamental fact of the Tech Industry. Regardless of what they may say, they break laws, regulations and societal norms in the name of disruption, and have a tendency to lobby to have their abhorrent behavior legalized after the fact.

If one is honest about it, one can plainly see the outcomes this kind of behavior has for tech is hardly ever negative. “Suicidal” though it may seem the just outcome, is hardly in alignment with reality.

That material is glass. However... replacing panes with glass isn't a straight swap of one material for another. The glass has to be protected around the edges, it can't be drilled for screw holes, etc. The re-design involves not just the window material but the window system.

I love Magic Maze dearly, but I would be hard-pressed to name a co-op that causes more anger. It features my favorite individual token from any board game, the comically oversized "Do Something Pawn," whose entire purpose is to be slammed in front of someone when you want them to do something. Do what? You can't tell them due to the rules, but what you can do is continue to slam the pawn with increasing ferocity.

I suppose this isn't the only way to play Magic Maze. But why settle for less? :)
If the Seinfeld episode about rental cars was made nowadays, it would be in a Hertz office (or tactically renamed version like Hearts or Hurts).
Thats all I need, I have my MacBook Pro for daily work with dual monitors and mouse keyboard etc.

I think the iPad fills a somewhat small gap very well, I would like to see it do more, but am happy with it as is as well. I also like its longevity, this is my 3rd iPad, the original, the 2nd gen pro and now the M4, 6-7 years between each with OS support for the whole time and the massive batteries last as well, and transparent backup restore with each carrying forward my settings. Almost as good as a Subaru.
Another "fun way to lose money" is for example to get bitten by a wild animal. I am originally from a country where rabies shots are free. But here in an ER they could easily charge you $15k for that, which I was truly shocked about.

...or even $100k:

Because people also want a faster horse, not a car.

The iPad has been developing its own identity and language as a product category. Yes, it takes a while to iterate on the features. But Apple clearly sees the iPad as a chance to develop a language for how to interact with a tabula rasa. The easy thing would be to just slap a desktop OS on it. How do we get any better as a species if we do that? The iPad does need something, yes. It does not need a desktop OS.
This archive has a paywall making it impossible to read the content.
I prefer desktop, if only for one reason- no app store lock-in. iPadOS will always be second fiddle until the app gatekeeping comes down.
If you check what rental companies charge for gas when you pick up a car, they typically list something like $12/gallon here if you don't prepay, and something like $5-7/gallon if you "buy the tank". This vs maybe $3-4/gal at the nearest station.
FFMpeg really helped me out not too long ago. I tried KDenLive and ShotCut to edit some videos, which I rarely do, only to be overwhelmed and then discover that ffmpeg command can do everything from timelapses to trimming and brightness/contrast adjustments. And you can "preview" the result too, using ffplay.
I am an amateur mechanic, but have done a great deal of very technical work. My only formal training is three years of high school shop classes, everything else I learned under or in a car. The newest thing I have worked on is a 2022 GMC Sierra. Seemed to be pretty much the same as my 2003 Chevy Silverado.

You are definitely correct about foreign (non-USA) makes. My wife had an Audi when we got married. I own a small toolbox of tools specific to her Audi S4 that I will never use again, but that was a 2006, so this issue predates 2013 for the makes that it is true about.

Admittedly, I try to avoid fuel injected vehicles. So I don't go out of my way to work on new things.
That’s what motivated me to pick one up.

I acknowledge that I’m delusional for hoping they will make files easier to use on iPad OS at wwdc… but every year I hope.

If I could get vs code and sync thing on the iPad, I’d do it in a heartbeat and ditch my aging xps 13.
It didn't for me.

Now that M4 has outshone tomorrow's Qualcomm SDXE (Nuvia/Oryon) Computex launch on performance, we must wait for WWDC/iOS18 to find out if Apple wants to compete with Microsoft/Lenovo/HP/Dell Arm devices on software flexibility, since SDXE devices will run both Windows and Linux (EL2).

https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/gaming-laptops/leaked-dell-...

> [SDXE] processors are cheaper and less energy-hungry than all of Intel's recent chips, including Meteor Lake. So much so, that in some cases, battery life in equivalent laptops is extended by as much as 98%. And all that's done with chips that are half the price ... While I'm ambivalent about 2024 being the year of the AI PC, I'm becoming increasingly sold on it being the year of the Arm PC. With MediaTek and Nvidia rumoured to be joining the party, it's clear that I'm not the only one.

If Apple lacks the imagination or creative leadership to square the circle of iPad pro-fessional use cases, starting with a Terminal (which could be an iOS CLI in an isolated VM), perhaps they can open up the iPad to boot Asahi Linux, to compete with SDXE devices that will run both Windows and Linux.
UV exposure can certainly cause this, but what about their train washing systems? They commonly have large rotating plastic brushes and if grit gets caught up in the brush it's going to sand anything with a lower Mohs hardness.

Los Angeles Metro wash system - note that they use glass and don't have this problem.

Yeah fair enough. I actually found the massive navigation history annoying too, I'd just forgotten about it until now. I think I have a solution to replace the navigation history with local state so we should still be able to navigate between board versions, will see. Appreciate the feedback :)
An example of "Keychain" abuse is how Facebook so disgustingly tracks you even after you delete all apps, and can track you even after you restore an iCloud Backup ON A NEW PHONE!

• It shows my previous accounts even after I delete the app.

• Clearing Safari's cache does not work.

• Disabling iCloud Drive and iCloud Keychain does not work.

• Even completely signing out of iCloud does not work!

----

WHY can't the user see this data?

WHY can't the user delete this data without going through the app?

WHAT ELSE do apps store on our devices that we aren't even aware of? (This is just what we can see: The list of saved accounts for "quick login")

HOW MANY other apps are secretly doing this?

WHY does Apple even allow this in the first place??

Worst of all, WHY aren't more people raising more of a ruckus about this extremely appalling practice?!
How about Car How-tos and Repair Manuals for the Multitudes, CHARMM?
There will never unfortunately be an open-source car. The nearest you will get is by getting a well-documented one with good OEM parts availability and converting it to an EV which eliminates a lot of the proprietary computers that seem to cause issues. EV drivetrain and battery parts are mostly well documented and interchangeable and can even be open-source, and Air bag and ABS computers in older cars also mostly work stand-alone (ie they will work properly if the cars computer is not there)

Newer cars have much better safety systems but have unfortunately gone all in for making things difficult.
I think it’s probably because photos posted there are too low resolution and/or compressed to look good filling up the majority of a tablet screen.
> 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.

iCloud and App Store are independent. You can sign in to the App Store but not iCloud. In fact I've never used iCloud on my iPhone.

> Do you mean, for example, that AI can help us make new vaccines really fast, so even synthetic pandemics are not a huge risk?

I'm sure they can, if they can also help someone make a disease or virus, but more that I this the setup required to make something like that successfully, even with an AI, likely is more than what the average home lab has. Can someone create something? Sure. Can they iteratively test is and see how it works to iron out the bugs? I think that's likely much more complicated, requires some additional infrastructure, and is something that can be looked for an tracked, and AI will probably excel at finding the signal in the noise for things like that.

> So, for the sake of a thought experiment ... are nevertheless harming artist commissions.

For the record, I meant to say "Even the autistic savant type versions we have now seem to be causing some level of this." and I don't really disagree with what you're saying here, so I think we're in almost complete agreement on this.

> The counterpoint is, this took billions of years of parallel development, and even then might have been a fluke.

The counterargument to that is that natural selection seems to work on much larger timescales for any sort of species with intelligence. Intelligence seems to be a trait most useful for long lived organisms, since it's costly and requires a long time for organisms to learn from their environment enough to make it worth while, so seems mostly limited to larger and longer lived organisms, causing adaptations to take relatively longer. Intelligence is just one tool in the toolbox.

AI and increases in AI are not a natural process, but directed action, and on a scale where the time between generations seems to be shortening. That shortening for now might be because we're still tapping the low-hanging fruit of advances to make, but it's also limited by business needs because of the systems in which it operates. The "rogue AI decides to advance itself" may not necessarily need to operate within that system in some respects, either because it's beyond that system already or (more likely, in my opinion) it can just take a few percentages of resources lost to the black market every year to hide itself until it's too late. Just cybercrime is $10 billion annually, and that's up with 14% jump. Would anyone really know by who if that grew by another billion or two? That would be a lot of resources.
The machines take care of that. You just need to plug the numbers in.
It's not just some ER, it looks like he went to the Mayo Clinic which is one of the top hospitals in the world. It's the kind of institution that world leaders from around the world travel to for complex treatments.
How it isn't a scam?
If they made a Mini Pro, I'd be lining up for one. I want a sleek, high end 8" or less tablet that is top tier. I guess the last one that matched that spec was the Nvidia Shield, and sadly nobody else made one as insanely brilliant as that tablet.
The incentives in US health care are so upside-down that Americans pay significantly more for the same results as many of the other western nations. While the public systems of the UK and former colonies aren't perfect, they are still significantly cheaper to run for approximately the same outcomes. Ditto for other European countries.

I don't understand why this hasn't become a boil-over issue for Americans yet.
