Yeah. Have you seen Waymo? Even with 12.5, you have to keep your eyes on the road, and at least once or twice a week, it’s going to do something that would likely cause an accident. If it does, Tesla will blame you for not paying attention.

In a Waymo, you sit in the back seat and scroll your phone and it gets you safely to your destination every time. These are not even remotely comparable products.

It’s slightly misleading to say it’s time rather than space, though, because of course the subjects are moving and so each column does correspond to a different position (with respect to each one). With respect to the track, however, moving horizontally is obviously just moving in time.

Steam is both a store and a promotional system, but the fee for the promotion is built into their cut for selling your product in their store.

If people are willingly paying this because the promotion is worth it, that's not necessarily a monopoly. And you can tell if they're willingly paying it because they have the option to distribute to the same customers by other viable means, without paying the fee but also without getting the promotion. And then as we can see, some people pay and other people don't.

You could make the different argument that they have a monopoly on games promotion by itself. I don't know if you'd win that one or not, but regardless it's distinct from what Apple is doing.

No it isn't; under the GPLv2, the source code must be available to those to whom compiled code has been redistributed. Whether they are users doesn't matter.

The restrictions are that if you violate the license, your use of the program is infringing.

It's literally true that it is being marketed to consumers. GP was being somewhat poetic. Marketing to consumers is an instrumental goal in service of marketing to investors. The aim is to sell more stock to investors rather than more product to consumers.

That being said, GP has made the implicit assumption that they can't market it to investors as AI and to consumers as something else, and if investor interest in AI doesn't ebb, then I expect they will find a way to do just that.

> I'm not sure how the Tropics of Cancer/Capricorn got in this discussion, they are latitudes of the earth.

They are latitudes of the Earth (although the obliquity of the ecliptic can change over time, so they are not always the same latitudes of the Earth). Specifically, they are the latitudes of the Earth that the Sun will be directly above if the ecliptic longitude of the Sun is 0 Cancer and 0 Capricorn (when the Sun is at 0 Aries and 0 Libra, it is directly above the equator).

> your sign is the constellation the sun was "in" when you were born

It is not. "Your sign" usually means your Sun sign (at the time you were born; this can be any time of day or night), and it is not the same as a constellation, even if it has the same name as that sign. If your Sun sign is Aries, that means that the ecliptic longitude of the Sun at the time you were born was greater than or equal to zero degrees and less than thirty degrees, counting from the spring equinox as zero. That is what it means. It does not have to do with the constellation named Aries, although people who are not familiar with astrology often confuse it with that.

Astrological signs are a measurement of ecliptic longitude. One sign = 30 degrees, therefore 12 signs = 360 degrees.

You can also determine the sign of the Moon and planets, which would be their ecliptic longitude, like you would with the Sun. For example, if Moon is in the sign Libra then the ecliptic longitude of the Moon is greater than or equal to 180 degrees and less than 210 degrees. Libra is the opposite direction from Aries, so if Sun is Aries during a full moon, then the Moon will be Libra, since the opposite directions are 180 degrees apart. This is not having to do with the constellations named Aries and Libra, which is different.
Back in 1987 I started my first job at the Australian DoD. Our group's remit was explosives testing and instrumentation. One of my jobs was to program a hardware controller/sequencer[0] that would trigger numerous equipment: detonators, accelerometer recorders and high-speed analogue cameras. At our facility, we had two bunkers (for in-situ explosives testing), that had a very small window (maybe 15x15cm that was about a foot deep), behind which sat a very big, very expensive, and very fast high-speed camera. That thing could do 10^6 FPS for very short bursts. It had a relatively long lead time to spin up to speed (hence the need for sequencers to precisely kick of the camera and then detonate the subject device at the right moment). I vaguely remember being told that it cost several million dollars (pretty expensive back in 1987). The team that were in charge of that thing also had a couple of Silicon Graphics IRIS workstations, while I was stuck button punching codes on a vertical, rack-mounted keyboard for the sequencer. That camera and the graphics workstations felt like we were living in the future.
I've tried to find out more about the camera but honestly all I can recall is how fast it was, how expensive it was, and that the whole rig took about a square meter or two of floor space. But to eventually be able to see an explosion evolving frame by frame was pretty cool. I fully expect given the pace of change, that by the time 40 years has passed, what was once DoD specced "secret" tech, will be consumer level tech - shrunk from m^3 to several mm^3, and cost down by a factor of 10^5. Amazing.

My initial motivation was to point out the authors likely weren't native in English.

I meandered onwards to waffle about the nature of what they were describing, which to my mind at least begins with a notion of stability, in pursuit of a better succint opening line (which I don't have).

You've said:

Fragility and antifragility aren't about stability (returning to equilibria), but gains or losses after perturbation, which is related to convexity/concavity.

I've said:

Reading further, they want more; that repeated perturbations should deliver benefit, that systems in an warped egg carton configuration can be annealed to reveal an optimal point by vigorous shaking slowly reduced in degree.

We likely both agree that an anti-fragile system should not spiral out of control. I assume when you refer to "convexity/concavity" you mean at a scale greater than local, at the scale of the warp in an egg carton as I made reference.

My principal gripe with such discussion, as I said, was I don't see much that is new other than language over what was discussed in the mid 1980s .. but perhaps I've not read enough.

The downvoting of your comment is poor form.
Heh. I didn't even know there was a Patreon app. There is an issue though. A lot of people (not me) use phone as their main computing device. And Apple is well known for keeping web app experience subpar compared to native app experience. Safari is lagging behind all the other browsers regarding modern APIs support. Bugs are not getting patched for years. At the same time other web rendering engines are not allowed on the main official app store. The other app stores are hard to get to and I consider them non-existent for regular users.

So, platform developers have to take iOS support very seriously or miss a lot of profit.

After using gitlab for a year I can boldly claim that it is inferior to github in every feature with subtle things being better in github which add up to a far better experience.

Gitlab tries to do a lot and never did anything that well. It's just perpetually catching up to github.

I think merge vs pull is a different development workflow, which might appeal different organizations, tbh I never liked much the need of forking the entire repository to be able to contribute. Gerrit also doesn't require you to fork the repo first. Anyway, from my perspective that's s feature that GL provides vs GH, not just marketing.
I've seen this and it's very silly. Every step where the machine makes an automated decision, it displays a message like, "using AI to xyz." I have to imagine the "AI" to determine how long the cycle should be is a linear function of some metric like weight.

But I suppose you could view that as a neural network with a single neuron.
"pull request" isn't really native to git. "pull" is. A pull request is literally sending somebody a message and requesting that they pull a branch from your fork and merge it. A "pull request" in GitHub doesn't really do a pull under the covers at all.

"pull request" is a more recognizable term, but "merge request" is more technically accurate for what GitHub and GitLab do.

And is it really jumping through hoops to just name it something different? I usually think of that phrase as implying something more arduous.

Very much this. I’ve overseen this process for one of my clients and we’ve seen build + deploy times go from 5-10 minutes down to around 1-2m. This was down to increased performance, improved caching, and being about to cut out some minor workflow setup steps.

So 10x cheaper and 5x the performance.

>> For example, ALGOL68 replaced “integer” with “int”, for reasons I have never understood;

It's helpful to understand the context which evolved this desire for terseness.

A) in the 60s through to the early 90s, to communicate with the "computer" you used a terminal. They used a serial connection which started out life very slow. Sending 7 chars (integer) was measurably longer than 3 (int). Commands used a lot (ls) benefited from being short.

B) CPUs were slow. It's hard to fathom now but not only were the CPUs slow they were shared (in many cases) by multiple terminals. Simply processing extra letters, matching strings to known commands, goes up the longer the command.

C) storage costs would make your eyes water. Source code was terse partly for compiling performance, but also to lower storage cost. "Huge" storage meant "a few mega bytes". Most storage was measured in kilo bytes.

D) same for ram. Storing the word "integer" in ram (in your text editor) took up ram that could be used elsewhere.

Of course none of this applies now. But unfortunately habits learned early are hard to break.

They have exactly three advantages over Github:

2) Open Source core (if you carefully avoid all the proprietary features).

The way you phrase that makes it sound like you had a negative experience, was that your intention? For all we know he didn't even see it, there's thousands of issues and PRs and it's not like this is his full time job, so missing a message sounds like a pretty expected and neutral interaction to me. There's a reason they used the word "shockingly" to describe his response time, it's because it's amazing that Wez can respond to even a fraction of all the messages as quickly as he does.

Also in case you wanted to bump up the priority of that bug, he does have github sponsors enabled.

>under the assumption that users jailbreak their devices

if that didn't void warranty, I'd accept it as a reasonable workaround. But on top of that I'm pretty sure Apple acively fights with jailbreaking and jailbreakers in particular.

>In my mind Apple has zero obligation to enable it maximum leeway to obstruct it.

They might soon, given DMA. In my mind, Microsoft got dinged for antitrust decades ago and Apple has gone so beyond that line that I'm surprised Europe had to step in before the US. Even Mac OS isn't locked down this hard (helps that it started fundamentally as a BSD fork) so it just tells me this is exploiting its monopoly.

>The people don't want they locked down single function phone, they shouldn't buy one.

opposite argument works as well. An open world does not stop you from staying in the walled garden. If you really don't want to use anything other than the App store, that's fine. You just miss out on a few apps like you have for 16 years with Android stuff that Apple banned.

You are right but didn't go deep enough: you need interactive data. Not just static data. Environments.
> Why is the term "Open Source" used to refer to publicly available information?

Well, why not?

"Source" has long referred to available information. In fact, you probably won't have to read HN long before you encounter a "source plz"-type meme, intended to mean something akin to: "Please point me to the available information that supports your claim."

"Open" has long referred to available information that is accessible to users. "Open source[code]" uses "open" in the same way.

PAT works too but I'm not sure it communicates anything meaningfully different. As far as I can tell, they are trying to communicate the very same thing. Is your reaction, perhaps, because you are accustomed to "open source" being used in the software sense?

> Do we refer to street dogs as open source dogs?

Dogs haven't typically been seen as information, so, for all practical purposes, probably not. But if we want to change that, sure, why not? Language doesn't have feelings. It doesn't care.

I've been using eSIMs for a few years, and my experience is similar to yours. I'm an expat living abroad, and I want to keep my old phone number (from my home country) and my new phone number (from the country I currently live in).

After two days, my first phone with an eSIM died, so I had to go to a telecommunication provider's physical store to install a new eSIM on the replacement phone.

Now, I try to keep my main SIM physical and the secondary (less important) one as an eSIM. In my case, my native country's phone number is now an eSIM.

You can ask your provider for a blank physical SIM, and in case you lose your eSIM, you can usually call them, go through the identification process, and they can move your number back to the physical SIM you have as a backup based on the serial number on the SIM. I do have blank physical SIMs for my eSIM. I never had to use them, but my girlfriend did (she's using the same setup). Once you're back to physical SIM, you can usually change to eSIM via the app. Be aware that some companies charge this switch between SIM and eSIM.

Having the secondary number as an eSIM makes it easier to use virtual SIM providers like Airolo when travelling since I don't have an issue disconnecting that number for the duration of the holidays.

If you have just one number, I'll suggest to keep it as a physical SIM.

I would be shocked if nvidia didn’t use optical interconnects in their next iteration. My understanding is that the big power loss in these racks comes from having to bus the data around.

The article only seems to mention the power savings and speed, both of which are obvious benefits over traditional electrical circuits. Optical computing isnt constrained by the speed of light or the efficiency of a fiber, it’s that components are orders of magnitude larger and have low to no manufacturing support.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m hyped for the eventual PIC revolution, i just don’t think this is it.
You're right that I got the two confused. The 3800 Series II was descended from the 1960 aluminum "Fireball" V6 and used a block derived from it's successors, but if I'm remembering correctly was part of the engine family that started in 1978 and was part of GM's downsizing to combat gas prices. The Fireball and 235 used a 90° bank and was 3.8L but with the switch to FWD in 1982 the new LK9 used a 3.0L (I was wrong about the 3.6L displacement, I apologize) 60° layout that grew in displacement until the late 1990s.
