… limited and crazy overpriced. The first Mac was an awesome demo but not able to do much because it only had 128k; within a few years people had shoehorned that demo into much cheaper machines (even had something like Plan 9's UI for Os-9 on the TRS-80 Color Computer)

Meanwhile you had the Atari ST, Amiga, Sinclair QL on the low end with color graphics 68k machines against the still monochrome Mac. These were affordable, good for games and other media, and in principle more scalable than the PC and AT architectures of the time. A little later you got very powerful 68k machines running Unix from vendors like Sun Microsystems. I first saw a Mac 2 in college after I had used a Sun cluster with huge, mostly monochrome, monitors and was blown away by the refinement of the desktop (small monitor had something to do with it) but the price tag was insane.

Some people swore by mac for desktop publishing, but the Suns had great software for that too.
This. Fidelity has a rather nice BillPay service and can accept direct deposits for paychecks. The only thing one really loses is access to a human teller to obtain beyond-ATM levels of cash.
I'm sorry, it's not that simple.

Banks are run by people and they are private businesses. Humans don't follow laws like computers follow instruction, we are flawed creatures. Businesses will mitigate risks wherever possible, and refuse to work with customers who carry added risk all the time.

While in theory this shouldn't be causing people trouble and preventing people from getting locked out of the banking system or forcing them into unfair agreements, in reality, it is.

It turns out government regulation has unintended consequences. Just because it's "wrong" for them to interpret the regulation in this way, doesn't change the fact that many many established, legitimate banks are doing it "wrong." Nor does it help the people suffering the consequences to point your finger back at the wording of the regulation and say "Ackshually..."

While I can largely accept this criticism, the author of the blog post is not partaking in the discourse, but is instead reporting a summarized version of what Aristotle, maybe, said, presenting it as a definitive guide.

"Every (bad) thing we do, makes the next one so much easier."

For a more than just relevant part of people who would play with weights on a model to create anything that compensates for "child abuse" with "fake child abuse", the risk of lowering the threshold is extremely high. VR, AR, fake news and the scripted nature of some world events that are driven by common subgoals of interest groups are decrementing the opaqueness of the line between reality and delusion/illusion. Loss of reality & dissociation from humanity are things, especially among people with a fanbase & influence, money, power.

Games & TV and their influence are obvious and they do erode the threshold as well but it's reversible because the player is not the creator of his reality while with gen ai, prompts & weights, the player becomes more and more capable of simulating his own reality based on his derived preferences & idiosyncrasies. Games and TV have constraints that are set by the devs and show runners and all the crews involved in the process. Gen AI doesn't have that.

Also don’t forget the vast majority of genetic diversity in homo sapiens is found in subsaharan Africa

Much potentially vital genetic information can be found in the Congo, but also more “attack vectors” for novel pathogens

The DRC specifically is packed full of heterogeneous ethnic populations with varying levels of ethnic mixing, on the scale of 100-250+ distinct genetic groups

These groups often have higher genetic diversity between them than all “white” peoples globally

Diversity on the whole is a good thing, but can be dangerous in potentially hazardous environments (such as the close, effectively forced daily animal contact you’d find in the DRC)

————

This also applies to other mammals, eg why you see so so many Bat-bourne illnesses, as they have by far the most genetic diversity of any mammal group

We have these harmless fruit bats here in Australia, but friends and family are sometimes startled when I tell them off for approaching injured or dead bats. Alive or dead they’re extremely hazardous to humans - even placid ones

Unless he is schizophrenic, its still the same mind that keeps continuously lying to most important persons in his life and keeps pretending nothing is happening. This sort of hard character flaw/weakness never goes alone, there are more if you care/can take a deeper look.

If you are OK with serious liars as leaders, thats fine for you I guess. Definitely not OK for me. Albeit for purely work performance, most of us can turn off our moral radar temporarily, mortgages ain't gonna pay for themselves with just good honest heart.

Wouldn't this average out? You'd have more attack vectors but you'd also have more "reactor control rods" throughout in the population.
This is a quite underestimated point. Most people will be extremely destabilized if their monetary situation (either their net-worth or the money they are managing) changes violently in a very short period of time. Startup Founders are people who can cruise through that.

The distinction to make isn't between CDs and bonds. They're actually just-about identical instruments. The key issue is the duration of the bond or CD. Longer duration bonds (and CDs!) expose you to more interest rate risk. If you buy and then rates go up, then nobody will want to accept your bond/CD on the secondary market at the old face value; you'll need to sell it for less, so the rate they get from it is on par with the new prevailing one.

With CDs some of these dynamics are more hidden, because most people cannot access a secondary market for their CDs and do not see what they are worth on a given day. They just hold to maturity. But --

-- you can also just hold a bond to maturity, and

-- if you buy your bank CD through a brokerage account (e.g. Fidelity, Schwab), then you can sell it early on the secondary market, for whatever a buyer will accept.

So there's less difference between bonds and CDs than people suppose.

(There is also the issue of default risk when the issuer of the bond is a private company or untrustworthy government. But I would say that US Treasuries and FDIC-backed CDs have similar low default risk, and you can make an argument that the T-bill is actually safer.)

But Tik Tok functionality is not the impetus for its banning. The issue is that it's controlled by a foreign adversary. (In fact, there is no pending ban, it's a forced sale to a non-adversary.)
I think most people just weren't sure what you're talking about.

Communications between such a thingamajig capture card and a laptop has nothing to do with DP Alt mode or USB HID, it's whatever custom USB packet types that capture card manufacturer comes up with. That technically wouldn't be an answer to your original comment in strict sense.

The most likely heuristic paraphrasing for your original query is something like "are there ways to multiplex DP _source_ and HID _peripheral_ on a single USB3+DP Alt connection". That made no sense at multiple levels on top of being unlikely to be possible. That lead to people hallucinating wildly.

The alternate question "are there ways to plug an SBC into laptop somehow for remote control, over a single USB-C cable" has that dongle as an answer as we now know in hindsight. But that is not a straightforward interpretation and response for your original comment, especially with your follow-up replies about DP Alt mode specs that would not be used by such a device.

Don’t read too much into this. Tiny stake that’s not material in terms of Intel’s finances.

Bought at the time of Arm’s float to show confidence in Arm and that Intel is a key partner - which it wants to be in the shape of Intel Foundry.

Or, the challenge will be convincing anyone to take it now that distrust of vaccines is at an all time high, due to the reckless speed at which we implemented the covid vaccines; and admittedly the very real myocarditis and autoimmune disorders it causes. Combined with increased political polarization.

And, the misinformation surrounding the link to autism that turned out to be fabricated by a scientist who just wanted to be famous. Or, that time a company 'accidentally' sent the hpv vaccines to South America that included the highly undesirable side effect of sterilization that had already caused the vaccine to be banned from use state-side. Or, that time we weaponized the distribution of vaccines in Pakistan to find Bin Laden more quickly.

Note: I'm not a vaccine denier or avoider, but I think we need to be honest with ourselves with what the actual challenges are and why they exist.

We’ve taking it for granted that every company has a web site. But what purpose to web sites serve for companies?

There’s marketing, obviously, advertising what the company does. There’s e-commerce, directly selling the company’s products. They should ideally have a sort of encyclopedia of information about the company and its products and services past and present. And of course, they should offer a directory of ways that people can interact with the company, their customer support, etc.

For a company like cartoon network, there’s no e-commerce. There’s no customer support. There’s no documentation. There are no products.

They should make cartoon network into an encyclopedia of all the information about the network, past and present. All the programming schedules, all the shows, and their credits, etc. But doing that is a big project that costs money to build and maintain perpetually. Does it make money? No, it’s just the right thing to do. And its a job that’s already done by wikipedia, imdb, and so many fan sites. Even if they succeed and become the best source for that information with the top search result, what’s the benefit? How much revenue will they be rewarded with for stealing that traffic back from wikipedia?

That leaves marketing. What purpose is cartoonnetwork.com as an advertisement for cartoon network? It doesn’t show up high in search results. Anyone who visits it already knows about it. Social media platforms serve the purposes of the marketing department. The web site is largely a waste of time and money for them.

So this sort of company that has no ecommerce, no products, no reason to directly interact with customers, doesn’t have much reason to have a web site in 2024. I think we’ll see a lot of companies in the same position delete their web sites as well going forward.

Kinda sad.
OK, I get it now. Thanks for the explanation. I would just never in a lifetime call it a "filter". That's extremely poor naming.

If they called it a choice of basis or influence function, it would've been so much clearer.

> But China is on borrowed time due to population collapse. China will run out of young engineers far more quickly than the US will.

And the US can attract foreign engineers far better than China ever will. For many, many reasons, whether it is the language (English is far more common as a second language than Chinese, even though Chinese is among the top spoken as a first. And Chinese is ridiculously hard to learn, it's not just the writing system, the spoken language being a tonal language is not helpful either.), the capital - US corporations pay better, the higher quality of life/work environment etc.

This is what happens when people foreign to Chinese corporate culture have to deal with it (the first link is about Taiwan but they're not too dissimilar when it comes down to this):

https://restofworld.org/2024/tsmc-arizona-expansion/

> Chang, speaking last year about Taiwan’s competitiveness compared to the U.S., said that “if [a machine] breaks down at one in the morning, in the U.S. it will be fixed in the next morning. But in Taiwan, it will be fixed at 2 a.m.” And, he added, the wife of a Taiwanese engineer would “go back to sleep without saying another word.”

No, I don't want to work for this kind of asshole.

Oof.

The US can afford a population decline more than many other nations of the earth, and it is continously draining brain power from the rest of the world. Many of the more talented programmers I've known as a French living in France moved to the US for greener pasture. Americans should not have too many worries about the future: if it ever gets bad for them, it means the rest of the world will suffer even harder.

It's interesting, I'm building a startup accelerator type thinger in Canada, very specifically for Canada (long story) - after about 6 months I noticed a really interesting early stage phenomena where: Canadians are primarily being funded by Americans and Canadian Funds are primarily backing Americans. In closed doors, over lunches and dinners, over time, it finally came out, Canadian vc's don't believe Canadians are ambitious enough, they "don't even imagine moonshots".

I wondered originally if it was a small thing, but as I've dug in over month and months, I've noticed it's both a very real thing and a very wide spread thing.
Can you point to any good research to back up your claim that this is a good treatment?
Not to be overly pedantic, but Ground lists them on average as "Lean Left", with that rating coming from two "Lean Left" and one "Center" rating from three 3rd party media bias rating orgs. Their factuality is also High, so while there may be editorial subjectivity in what they choose to publish, the stuff they do publish is generally high quality and truthful.

For some other examples, Pink News is listed as Left with Mixed factuality. Fox News holds Right and also Mixed.

There are nearly no reputable media outlets with no amount of bias at all. I certainly wouldn't stop consuming NPR for having a slight lean to the left.

One important note with mpox is that there are two distinct lineages of the virus at play: the outbreak in the US in 2022 was clade IIb, which seems to be difficult to spread - hence the “close physical contact” attribution. It also had a low observed CFR.

Clade I mpox is the current outbreak under discussion. It spreads far easier - most pathways are likely not sexual contact - and has an observed CFR 10x higher than IIb.

In other words: this is a very different virus than what we saw in 2022.

> VCs have perfected legal Ponzi schemes.

Exactly. They know it is a giant ponzi scheme as we have seen with SVB collapsing right in front of their faces, throwing millions on unprofitable startups which 90% of them will never make it to the finish line and it was never sustainable and they knew it. A perfect example of a ZIRP (zero interest rate phenomenon) with decades long cheap money fuelling it.

To them, they see your startup as a vehicle for an IPO to dump all over retail investors at an inflated price, which is why they need to keep raising money every month.

If it works out, on to the next one. If it doesn't then either they force you out of your own company an drive an acquisition to prevent the loss of their own money or accept the loss and never to meet the founders again.

But you’re also missing the forest for the trees. There are easy wins in public transit that can reduce car usage but we refuse to fund them. Bike lanes and street cars in urban areas for example can reduce car usage (and reduce congestion for drivers) and allow us to do more with less. I’d prefer riding a bike a mile down the road to grab groceries (or just walking) but our infrastructure makes that impossible and so I have to drive a car, taking up a limited parking spot and slowing your driving down too.

Most Americans actually live in urban environments as well. We aren’t that spread out actually.

Oh hey, I've experimented a bit recently with the similar scale 1, 24:23, 12:11, ... 24:13, 2. Essentially a 12-tone version of yours. I've been calling it the "utonal" scale as it is a utonal [1] series. Complements what I call the "otonal" scale of 1, 13:12, 7:6, etc.

The trouble is, while intervals with the root are very consonant, arbitrary intervals don't sound great.

I've noticed though, that a utonal scale is very similar to the scale of harmonics [2], which is traditionally used relative to a moveable root note. So I intend to experiment in that direction.
