What 10+ year old existing commerical OS should Microsoft move their users to?

You aren't really addressing the point. To users, OS X was the next version of Mac OS. Apple took NeXTStep and added a pile of classic MacOS UI and added APIs so developers could easily port their classic applications. It wasn't 100% new even to the users. Familiar UI. Same apps.

If Apple has just thrown BeOS on their machines and it turned out be a success then there might be some argument for users and developers loving a 100% new OS. But, as it turns out, even an OS as advanced as BeOS is not what users and developers really want. Users want to be able to run their same applications in familiar environment and developers want to make use of their existing code and existing skills.

Another way to look at it is Apple moved their users to their own "Windows NT" -- something that Microsoft also did around the same time frame with Windows XP.
But that doesn't have anything to do with what UX designers typically do

He did an interview about this book on the podcast “The Rest Is History” which has become one of my favorite podcasts of all time. This particular episode was really funny. They ask him a few tough questions too:

Interviewer: “Ok but your family wasn’t really great to the people of Peru”

Habsburg: “We were learning.”
It doesn’t recreate anything outside of edge cases you really have to go looking for. It will ingest and spit out the style though and I see nothing wrong with that. It’s basically what people do right now.
If you look at share price sure. But if only they could actually build their cars to meet demand and not have them constantly fall apart.
My grip on reality is so tight that I can't fathom anything you'd be unwilling to speak about.
I don't recall the specifics of macsec but it's possible to build a link encryptor that adds essentially zero latency. (like... no more latency than the gate delay of a single xor gate... plus some once-an-hour packet-length delay of some rekeying traffic).
Yeah, but you could at least elif is mac then ... else unsupported end.

I’m curious. How useful is Powershell outside of a windows environment? I use it on Windows since much of the admin side of things requires it.
Same here - I'm biking to work every day (in LA) and am feeling much more at ease when passing by a Waymo vs. average human driver.

Performance is a key metric of course, but reliability would seem to be an even bigger consideration. I imagine it's similar to the challenge faced by designers of equipment designed to go into space.

I think I have lost half a dozen hard drives (and a couple DVD-RW drives) over the decades because they sat in a box for a couple years on a shelf (I recall that one recovered working with a higher amperage 12V supply, but only long enough to copy off most of the data)

I’m not saying the should be valued higher. But it is at least notable that a Toyota has been the best selling car every year for the last 20 or so, until last year when it was the Model Y.

Meanwhile Toyota has been caught unsure of if they should build gas, electric, or hydrogen cars. Fortunately, as a fan of Toyota’s cars, it seems like they’ve figured out a good strategy forward. But for every Toyota there is a BlackBerry, IBM, Reebok, or Blockbuster who doesn’t figure out how to adapt to a changing market in time.

people are legitimately buying farming land in the US and currently suing farmers for "anti-trust" for refusing to sell them their land so that they can quite literally create a crypto based sovereign micro-nation of wealthy tech VC's. [1] and I think that is a selfish, vile and delusional thing to do. It has nothing to do with "thought police" its as simple as looking at the impact of their actions and beliefs and making the decision to reject that way of thinking and way of life.

> Moreover, the military wants parts for decades

nothing wrong with this. Government pays for the product. The product should be serviceable whether the company becomes defunct or business shifts. At this point, military or consumer should be able to give blueprints of the parts to different manufacturer or manufacturer it themselves.

> What's the point of the shell, if not to manage your databases, your REST APIs, files, and mail? Is it something you use for playing games on, or just for fun?

It's for communicating with the operating system, launching commands and viewing their output. And some scripting for repetitive workflows. If I'd want a full programming environment, I'd take a Lisp machine or Smalltalk (a programmable programming environment).

Any other systems that want to be interactive should have their own REPL.

> This kind of thing is a challenge with UNIX tools, and then is fragile forever. Any change to the output format of netstat breaks scripts in fun and create ways. Silently. In production.

The thing is if you're using this kind of scripts in production, then not testing it after updating the system, that's on you. In your story, they'd be better of writing a proper program. IMO, scripts are automating workflows (human guided), not for fire and forget process. Bash and the others deals in text because that's all we can see and write. Objects are for programming languages.

Thanks, and all good - it was my fault for not following the link in this story to your post about the actual build, before starting on my mini-rant.

I'd heard the original ZFS memory estimations were somewhat exuberant, and recommendations had come down a lot since the early days, but I'd imagine given your usage pattern - powered on periodically - a performance hit for whatever operations you're doing during that time wouldn't be problematic.

I used to use mdadm for software RAID, but for several years now my home boxes are all hardware RAID. LVM2 provides the other features I need, so I haven't really ever explored zfs as a replacement for both - though everyone I know that uses it, loves it.

Why OR? Usually when you travel by air you are all three at once when you go through border control at the destination. That's fun! Coincidentally, for automated passport control you are asked not to smile.
If you're going to make a 4 letter comment, at least be correct. Tesla in no way could be thought of as "short-term popularity." Every year, they've had increasing sales, about +20% between 2022 to 2023, and their latest quarter is still the highest sales of any quarter, on track to make $100 billion annual.
Fei-Fei Li's World Labs comes out of stealth with $230M in funding
Interesting , his ashes were scattered at Grey Creek Pass, the highest point on the trans-canada trail, between Nelson and Kimberly in the lower mainland of BC. I completed a 10-day tour from Vancouver to Edmonton 2 weeks ago, and we got absolutely slammed with rain, hail, sleet and subzero temps up on that pass.

My partner and I rode 1671 km total over the 10 days, and on Day 9 we pushed ourselves and logged 290 Km between the Mosquito Creek Hostel on the icefields parkway and the town of Lodgepole. It was a personal daily distance record for me, but an average day for Lael on her round-the-world tour.

She passed through Vancouver on the 19th, which was 2 days before I landed in Van to begin my ride. She had about 100 Vancouver cyclists riding with her a ways through the city.

As someone who remembers that time very well I disagree.

Smartphones followed a similar path to the internet i.e. completely new paradigm, that had immediate benefit but needed technology to improve to become widely adopted. But where the roadmaps to improve these technologies were clear and well defined.

AI is far more akin to nuclear fusion where each step along the way will require major scientific breakthroughs. And where it's not clear how to get this grand AGI end-game. Especially as OpenAI has said advancements depend on compute capacity that we simply don't have.

There used to be a Wendy’s overlooking Fredericksted harbor on St. Croix. Best deal going on the island with breath taking scenery.

Similarly, St. Thomas had a Taco Bell in Charlotte Amelia. It didn’t last long. The Hard Rock Cafe lasted a bit longer.

That’s the problem. You can’t just eliminate pre-college and hope everything works out fine.

> Useful for what purpose?

Replacing other processes. If something can be done for very cheap, we find new uses for it. Any economic activity can be done 100 different ways. If something becomes absurdly cheap, we start using that for a LOT of things it wasn't used for before.

For example, construction used to have great problems securing suitable building materials, but had great quantities of labor available. Hence, everything was custom. The name of the game was to use every piece of wood, every stone, every last bit of building material that was available in construction.

An extreme example is that in order to keep medieval staircases clean and maintained, they were taken apart twice yearly, the individual pieces of wood cleaned, and the stairs reassembled after cleaning. Labor was worthless, so why not?

Today, building materials are very cheap compared to labor. So we have extremes like prefab homes, but generally we use large amounts of building materials just to avoid even small amounts of labor.

Today, we replace stairs entirely to avoid maintaining the wood they're made of. Especially if it doesn't have to look good. Just buy a premade stair and throw the old one out.
Indeed. I'd started to add an aside to the effect of 'ten years ago it was probably easier to go ECC'. I'll add it here instead.

A decade ago if you wanted ECC your choice was basically Xeon, and all() Xeon motherboards would accept ECC.

I agree that these days it's much more complex, since you are ineluctably going get sucked into the despair-spiral of trying to work out what combination of Ryzen + motherboard + ECC RAM will give you actual, demonstrable* ECC (with correction, not just detection).
Free software is a mirage. It's an illusion.

I am committed to developing all of my projects as AGPLv3 free software. However, the fact that I even get to do this at all is something of a miracle. Governments don't generally allow non-engineers to erect big buildings. So why is it that we get to make software at home?

Individuals developing software is a deeply subversive action. It heavily contributed to the democratization of cryptography. The publication of PGP source code as a book defeated the US government's attempt to keep the cryptography to itself. Someone writes a little software called bittorrent and it threatens to wipe out entire industries, wipe out entire classes of business model. Somebody invents a bitcoin thing and now US presidential candidates speak of strategic bitcoin reserves. Somebody invents stable diffusion... We're all living to see the aftermath of that. It's hard to describe just how powerful and subversive computers are. Computers can literally reshape society.

It's all enabled by free computers. General purpose processors which run the code you input into them, no questions asked. And what we are witnessing here is the destruction of those free computers. For the sake of corporate interests. The computer is not free anymore. It only runs the code the corporation allows it to run. Because if it could run the set of all programs, it means it could run code that negatively impacts the corporation's profits. Their solution is to allow execution of the programs the corporations like and nothing else. Could be worse I guess. It might have been the government making that decision. Perhaps one day it will be.

Software freedom is not the same thing as computing freedom. There cannot be free and open source software without free computers. Focusing on free software as a solution to this is missing the forest for the trees. There is no point whatsoever to free software which we can't run, free software which can't interface with the services we need, free software which gets us ostracized. Our free computers are being increasingly labeled as "untrusted" and excluded from networks and services.

We need home computer fabrication technology so that we can make the computers themselves in our homes. Our own free hardware designs, one hundred percent free from their control, fabricated by ourselves.

But more than anything, we need to enshrine computing freedom into actual law. It should be illegal for them to lock our computers down. It should be illegal for them to refuse to interoperate with non-locked down computers. Anything short of this means free software has no future.
True. I've updated my post to include some of the scores.
You are using a pretty deceptive number when looking at the highest selling car. What is the biggest seller for Toyota? the RAV4, which helpfully counts as "not a car".
That seems like a very reasonable cost of business.

Doesn't it also increase the influence of existing shareholders? People have to decide to sell. It's really no different (to them) that they sell on the open market or to the company.

I'm not defending share buybacks, for the record. They're only one piece of the puzzle however. The real issue is what companies should do with profits and that includes share buybacks and dividends. You can't really be against share buybacks without being against dividends. And tit's fine to be against both. Being against one but not the other is kinda silly though.

TL;DR (direct quote):

“In summary, o1 represents a paradigm shift from "memorize the answers" to "memorize the reasoning" but is not a departure from the broader paradigm of fitting a curve to a distribution in order to boost performance by making everything in-distribution.”

I do see a possible downside of being able to re-use parts from a broken iPhone. So parts that were never able to be unlinked while the phone worked.

Unless since it sounds like this is a remote database (and not something stored on the parts themselves) that maybe there could be a way to address this problem but that runs the risk of making a loophole to get around this.

Outside of that, I think doing this is great. Making a stolen device less and less valuable obviously won't stop everyone from stealing iPhones it should cut down on it happening.

I am curious about Apple's incentive to do this outside of just the above. Technically they would get less sales from people replacing their phones, but would also possibly reduce the cost of operating the "theft and loss" iPhone AppleCare+.

You can salvage dead phones for parts. You can use the icloud web ui to unlink the phone. If you can't coordinate with the owner to unlink it, it does bring up the question of how you obtained the phone you are stripping for parts.
College wont be needed because of AI, the entirety of liberal arts is already obsolete.

Engineering disciplines can be split into blue collar (like operating CNC) learned at vocational schools, and deep tech (research focused) - these really only need “elite” colleges like top1%. The rest of 99% of colleges might as well disappear

The pyramid scheme of raising money each year to avoid self-bankruptcy of billions of dollars worth of inference and training costs a year now must expand to investors in the middle east. (As US investors are almost out of cash and averaging themselves up.)

This scheme will soon become unsustainable like the last time the tech industry corrected in 2022.

Hopefully the participants don't experience any down-rounds or devaluations along the way. (It happened to many over-valued startups like Klarna, and Stripe and OpenSea.)
Apple also fixed this a while back. If your GPS location is away from home, starting a wipe actually sets a timer where you have to Face ID and enter the password in an hour to actually do the wipe.

If you're trying to write a full fledged program in it, it's going to be a pain as there are only strings (and arrays, I think). Bash is for scripting. If you have complex logic to be done, use another programming language like perl, ruby, python, $YOUR_PREFERRED_ONE,...

How do they try to convince you?

Like when they're taking it from you, or do they contact you later somehow?

If it's when they are taking it, why do they try to convince you instead of forcing you since they are already using force to take it?

If it's the latter, how do they contact you if you don't have a phone?
Intelligence is something that gets monotone easier as compute increases and trivial at the large compute limit (for instance can brute force simulate a human at large enough compute). So increasing compute is the most sure way to ensure success at reaching above human level intelligence (agi)

Tesla sells like 1% of the cars and has like 50% of the market cap, and it’s not because their margins are so high.

All the market correctly predicted is that the market would continue to incorrectly predict their value.

As a mental exercise, imagine there’s a bubble that went on for 5 years. They sometimes go that long or longer. Do you not think 3 years in people would think they were seeing the market just having been correct the prior few? It would look exactly the way you view this.
