The issue with CLI is it's crap for editing the code. It's rare that your data analysis will just be one-liners, it'll be some mess of steps and you want to go edit one in the middle (but not re-run the whole script). That's the first thing that the notebooks give you that you don't tend to get elsewhere.

The second thing is the presentation of the plots: it's really handy to have multiple interactive plots laid out right next to the code block that produced them.

There's nothing that requires that this is done in a web interface, but no-one seems interested in making a non-web version (IIRC there was a QT version in the very very early days of ipython notebook but it's long dead). One big thing that any replacement will need is the easy ability for the code to actually be running on a remote machine, something that's trivial for a web interface but requires active effort for a native client (and makes a lot of interactive chart work more difficult: certainly there's currently no other matplotlib backend which can do it).

I'm fairly sure a better interface than jupyter is possible for data exploration, but I haven't found one yet since there's not really anything else that gives you the two features above.

(one thing people often miss about notebooks and the kind of work that go into them is that the code itself isn't actually really hard code. It's 100% about interacting with the data and the algorithms running on it. Working in one isn't much like software engineering)

You're basing that off of one of their highest profit quarters ever. 3X the average profit last year.

Also, once you remove the profit incentive and kill the dividend (which goes into the world's pension funds via the public market), investors will no longer invest in the company. Being a capital starved business with insanely high COGS is a recipe for collapse the minute you have a downturn.

And you'll probably say, "good! then the mom-and-pop stores will come back!" But the mom-and-pop stores, while aesthetically more pleasing to the elite, are in fact a far less efficient way to distribute food product so that would actually dramatically raise prices for consumers and decrease salaries & quality of life in many rural areas.

Turns out things are the way they are for a reason, and there's no grand conspiracy keeping people down.

then live to your own standards and give it away. This all just virtue signaling until you actually so something with your (not very strongly held) values.

Luck is part of part -- in economics we call it risk. And without risk there is no economic development.

Somebody in your past took a risk and passed profits from that risk down to you. Trying to take the ability to pass that down is both immoral and bad economics.
> The whole idea of extortion is premises that people can exist somehow outside of society which is disconnected from reality.

Or people can agree to collaborate (like a church or workers union) without extortion of citizens. There’s plenty of examples where extortion isn’t necessary.

I’m also not suggesting taxes shouldn’t be levied at all, I’m saying land and income taxes are particularly gross, as they misalign incentives. Like I said, the more civilized a civilization is, presumably the less protection people need, so we should pay less taxes. Similarly, the more civilized a civilization the more services can be provided by the private sector. The reverse trend is true for taxes, they charge more for less.
I for one used to hire people outside Germany for smaller projects, doing data analysis, writing interfaces, migrating data. With all the new tools I don't do this anymore. I can come up with solutions that are good enough, and I don't have the overhead with back and forth emailing, writing requirements, getting a result, giving feedback, etc. This is me, n=1.
I work for a Fortune 250 that is literally withering on the vine because they chose to focus on DEI before it was even a publicly-recognized thing. A VP of HR once told a former boss -- who had a resume of a good, local choice for a role he needed to fill -- that he was not allowed to hire his guy because "that's not our focus," and was forced to fill the spot with a random H1-B with the right keywords on his CV.

As a company, we're not making the turn on a critical changes that need to happen in order to remain competitive. I expect that the product lines will falter within a few years, because of our inability to meet customer requirements and a complete miss in engaging with emerging technology in the space. As our stock takes hit after hit, the remains of the company will be subsumed by an even larger company within 10 years, and all the execs will make out like bandits.

I posit that the natural state of any corporation over 1000 employees is a giant game of politics, where the only thing that REALLY matters in hiring is getting more warm bodies, because that means budget, and budget means "power" amongst managerial peers. Fighting THIS driver towards mediocrity is the key to standout success.
Thank God it is virtual signaling and not done by physical means
I live in a country with generous maternity leave. I have a family, and we're grateful we could access it. But maternity leave is tricky for businesses.

My anecdote: I worked for a company whose long-time CEO retired. After an involved search, the company found a replacement. She was onboarded and started getting in a groove, then 6 months in it was announced she would be leaving for a year of maternity leave. So we had to find another CEO. 10 months later the original hire decided she would not be returning to the role (she's under no obligation to). No problem, except the replacement CEO assumed this was a temporary position, so she already had another job lined up after her term. Once again, we were searching for a new CEO...

All of a sudden you're working for a company that's had 5 CEOs in 3 years. That's a hard thing for a company to deal with. People will say, "that can happen anyway!". Sure, but the strange thing here is nobody did anything wrong, and yet an incredibly destabilizing environment resulted and the business suffered.
Or they skip EUV all together and go straight to xray.

IMO that is the real threat to both ASML and the current Western supply chain. By forcing China out you make it very likely they will choose to leap-frog instead of try play catch-up. They did it with EVs there is a very good chance they do it with semiconductors also.
The scale of tire tread that just gets washed down into waterways seems staggering. It's probably no more egregious than other pollution sources though.

Anyway, the napkin math is 20 million tons of tires manufactured per year. If 1% of that is lost as worn down tread (or sidewalls depending on the driver), then that is 200,000 tons of tire compound particles dispersed into the environment per year.

That is not the intention, it obviously isn't. But oddly enough, this is one of the areas there are some real force behind labor law in the US. If a manager or spokesperson at the company ever said something that contradicted what the IKEA spokesperson said, they could quickly be forced to backtrack and issue a statement like what they actually said.

Former NLRB employee and lawyer Matt Bruenig loves trolling people with this on social media. If anyone with employment responsibility is blustering against unions in social media, he'll send an NLRB complaint about "threatening retalitation for protected activity". You don't need "standing" to do this, by design. The targets are quickly told by their laywers to back down, because the law really is amazingly strict on this.

I think it's more of an issue of availability. My smartphone is incredibly useful, but I spend too much time on it. Sometimes I just have to leave the phone at home, or put it on charger in a drawer somewhere and try to forget about it. Once I'm away from my phone for a little bit, my brain finds other things that are interesting.
Because not everyone has access to those sorts of plans.

In addition such plans, when they are available, invariably lock you in for a set period committing you to regular payments. Either that or the “free phone” is paid back out of the term of the contract thus still requiring you to pay full price at the get go.

This is how it goes, at least here in the USA.

If you have saved projects by coming in and micromanaging the devs... are you sure that was the only way to incentivize them to stay focused? And are you sure that they appreciated being micro-managed and did not think it rude and toxic? Because the success of a project and the toxicity of its leadership are orthogonal to each other. It sounds like you are coming from a perspective that if the business succeeds, the environment must not be toxic, which is sadly not at all true.
> Property taxes and property ownership are fundamentally at odds with each other.

This makes absolutely no sense.

> Fundamental rights should never be taxed and the government should never be able to take them away from us.

Property is not a fundamental right and never has been. Firstly, a huge number of people do not own land (which an LTV would apply to) so in declaring it a fundamental right, you'd need to start thinking about how to get land to those people. Good luck doing that without violating the "fundamental right" of the existing property owners.

Secondly, many cultures (past and present) simply don't recognise property rights in the way outlined in the legal codes of western governments. Traveller communities & nomadic tribes, for example, have far fuzzier concepts of property ownership than you or I understand.
It's not about running an LLM on a device, it's about the hardware - which is quite good and long lasting. In both cases, the hardware is good. But apple has been caught to slow down their phones so the incentive to buy a new one is higher (like the scandal slow down because of the battery usage of new features.. etc..)

The OG just stated to keep his Mi 11 ultra until it degrades, because he/she/it is happy with it and there won't be such games like making it slow or bring you somehow into situation that you need to buy a new iPhone, like now apple does - buy a new if you want to have LLM..

Also, what LLMs are running on your apple device that is not within the 100-90%=10% of all iPhones and other iDevices?

OG can use android apps for that, if he needs LLM or other features of AI. It's even possible to side load them. Which is not possible and not sure for Apple. You can ask a question:

If a feature is built in into iOS, is it possible to write an app for iOS and having this accepted for AppStore? Look up the terms for developers. It's written: no.

So having apple introduce their AI solution, which is built in and sitting on top of openAI... No other app will be accepted that's doing the same . Nor will the apps have deep integration into the OS, because Apple doesn't want it. They also won't change their minds on it.

So this is the point of OP. It's not to be answered with in a sense "so? Then tell me what LLMs are running on your Mi11... Because there aren't and Apple now introduced local LLMs.." are you an Apple fanboy/fan girl?
This article reminded me that many years ago I used to make PDF compilations of related Wikipedia articles using some tooling developed by PediaPress, and then read those offline on my laptop or iPad. I recently encountered one such compilation of cryptography & security related articles in my EBooks folder, and noticed the PediaPress metadata on the PDF. Apparently PediaPress is still around, and its tooling is still open source:

https://pediapress.com/code/

I also Google'd around a bit on this topic and it looks like there is an alternative set of tooling, wiki2book, focused on doing the same thing, but generating EPUBs that look good on e-reader devices. It also smartly doesn't require a modified/extended MediaWiki server, handling the quirks of the live Wikipedia instance specifically. Here is the info on that:

If there was a pill that provided all the scientifically proven health benefits of exercise - from life extension to mental health improvements to being more physically attractive to improved immune system and on and on - every single person would take it, and it would be the discovery of the century.

But require physical exertion and effort to do actual exercise, and alas, suddenly people choose to ignore this amazing drug.

As someone in a very similar scenario who just started taking sleeping pills, they don’t work like that … IME they helped me not wake up in the middle of the night, but I still wake up feeling groggy.

You should talk to your doctor and try them if you want but don’t expect them to be a magic loop-bucking silver bullet.
I think it would absolutely improve safety. Except for some very contrived scenarios, deceleration in a crash approaches infinity (mitigated only by the elasticity of the fuselage and whatever it impacts). Better to experience that spread out across a soft seat cushion than concentrated into an inelastic lap and shoulder belt.

Unfortunately, the psyche of the average passenger can't handle riding backwards. I've never understood it. Remove visual stimuli and it's impossible to tell the difference. Maybe we just need to close the window shades on takeoff and landing?

> Do you think that if there were no property taxes, all these speculators would suddenly decide to build things on the property?

I'm a bit confused by this. Do you mean to say if there were land taxes instead of building taxes? Assuming that is what you meant, I think realistically an lvt would be implemented by slowly changing tax rates over time. Large landowners would likely sell part of their portfolio to get the capital required to improve the most profitable lots. So there would be a gradual mix of selling and building.

> Hiring on merit will be a permanent policy at Scale.

> It’s a big deal whenever we invite someone to join our mission, and those decisions have never been swayed by orthodoxy or virtue signaling or whatever the current thing is. I think of our guiding principle as MEI: merit, excellence, and intelligence.

This isn’t about “hiring on merit”. This is a dogwhistle, saying to people “we are
an anti-“woke” workplace”, specifically rejecting the concept of DEI principles.

It’s an attempt to differentiate, probably to attempt to attract stereotypical programmers who are “tired of politics in the workplace” (as if working for a salary, paying taxes, and building technological tools were somehow apolitical). A less charitable interpretation is that they are attempting specifically to recruit people who would prefer to work exclusively amongst people very similar to themselves.

There are a lot of good and reasonable arguments against this, even if you aren’t all-in on the modern concept of DEI (which is a whole ideology, separate and distinct from the basic non-jargon usages of the words “diversity”, “equity”, and “inclusion”).
There's always something to complain about. If the AI runs on servers then oh no there's no privacy. If it runs locally then oh no it won't run on my old hardware.

Given Apple's general emphasis on privacy and selling hardware, this seems like the right path for them. Personally I'm all for it.

> False premise

So "the human mind is a computer" is a false premise, but "a computer must be able to compute 358729358 x 5648759845 in less than 10 ns" isn't? Do you know what a computer is? The human mind has a very different architecture than the Turing machines you are used to, so its performance characteristics are also different.

> invalid conclusion

My conclusion doesn't require the premise that the human mind is a computer. That is just an analogy to help you to understand my actual argument, which is as follows: there are certain things that happen in the brain which take time and energy (scientifically proven), reading Forth requires you to do more of those things than reading lisp (trivially true). Therefore it is harder, if hardness is a metric of how much effort (time and engery) something takes.

> mainly a coding editor that auto-indents, re-indents, and shows matching parenthesis. I think you're being a bit over-optimistic there.

Even Nano does this. Far from being optimistic, I struggle to think of a situation where you wouldn't have this. Unless your computer is hooked up to a teletype printer, you will have these features. People have edited lisp code on deep space missions and had these features. How? Because you can write the forms in an editor and then send them over the wire afterwards. This is a technical problem that was solved before it even existed, and it is just a sad coincidence that many people decide to edit and run code through a dumb terminal connected to a REPL instead of in an actual editor connected to that same REPL session.

> Forth doesn't need a complex editor to be comfortable

Neither does lisp. Matching brackets and auto-indenting lisp code is so simple its braindead. It would be the simplest feature of any editor that supports it. Quite frankly, this is a stupid argument anyway. Even if text editors as "advanced" and "complex" as GNU Nano were a total rarity, I would rather code in a language that's easier for my editor installed on my computer than one which caters to someone else doing everything on an embedded device which only connects to a physical printer. That's like saying we should all use Fortran because it works much better on punch-cards.

> It's not the device, it's the users' choice in how they use it.

This right here. But I take it in a different way. That tool is mine. I get to chose how it is used. Advertisers seem to think they own some of my time to get 'free things'. Application makers seem to think they own some of my time to try to get more money out of me thru the use of dark patterns. The phone companies seem to think they own some of my time and sell my data because I pay them. Other people seem to think they own my time because I have the thing and should be on call 24/7 whenever they want to get ahold of me.

When they first came up with the idea of the current smart phone. It was really cool. Then I have realized that everyone is using it to grab my time from me. All of them seem to get mad when I set the thing down on a table somewhere and ignore it and enjoy the things I want to do.

The chain of argument is longish, but nevertheless it feels well connected. Its an important new conversation, maybe critically important.

The past of the open source movement does not limit the role it will play in the future. What started as a personal computing freedom project is growing into the reference platform for keeping track of the state of the world.

The transparency and trust afforded can simplify a lot of frictions plaguing a world competing over scarce resources where actors will try to hide their negative impacts etc.

In essence the mode of distributing and operating code substitutes for armies of auditors, controllers and accountants etc.

There are blockchainy echoes here, which points to a real challenge: this new conversation is still at a nascent stage. There arent yet systems in advanced stages that exemplify what this new future for open source looks like, but it doesnt take too long to find promising areas, look e.g into the energy related initiatives.
