Products under patent would already be charging the monopoly price regardless of a shortage. That's what a patent is supposed to do -- cause prices for new drugs to be temporarily high to provide the incentive to develop new drugs. The limit for this is how much better the new thing is than the old thing, such that if you charge more than that people switch back to the old thing.

This obviously kind of sucks when the drug is the difference between life and death, but those are also the drugs we most want a large incentive to develop, and that's why the patents eventually expire.

> Consider the example of a Taylor Swift concert. Are scalpers creating more supply by raising the prices of tickets or is it pure rent seeking?

Scalpers are trading time for money. You want tickets that would otherwise sell out but you don't want to wait in line, so you pay someone to wait in line for you. It causes tickets to be available at the higher price instead of being sold out and unavailable at any price. The way to prevent the rent seeking is to auction off the tickets to begin with so the money goes to the artist instead of the scalpers.
The nRF connect app (bluetooth debugging tool, mostly) asks for reviews at the bottom of the changelog for app updates, along with an explanation for why they don't do it inside the app itself. Very glad they handle it that way, and I don't think I've seen any other app that does.
My DDR4 was C16, but my DDR5 at C30 makes up for that with sheer speed.

Currently sporting this -
G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB Black 64GB (2x32GB) PC5-48000 (6000MHz) with a 7800x3d.

Previous kit was G.Skill Trident Z Neo RGB 32GB (2x16GB), PC4-28800 (3600MHz) DDR4, 16-16-16-36 [X2, eventually, for 64 total] with, you guessed it, the 5800x3d, from the 3900xt - my son loves it.
None of which contradicts my point, that the output's flaws are things the users themselves don't notice.

Her left shoulder? I've seen real dresses where one of those slips off sideways for whatever reason. It's like the dress version of self-opening flies.

If you meant something else, I missed it.

I do see the seed pod; but (perhaps due to so many photographers using fill lighting or photoshop, I don't know) I see nothing wrong with the lighting.

I see nothing noteworthy about the lacework either, but I wouldn't expect to as a guy whose total knowledge of things like that is "they are often intricate and frilly".

There are oftentimes things I can indeed spot in GenAI images, when I make them I often find it best to make four at a time, pick the one that was closest to what I wanted, then highlight the errors and do img2img for another cycle, for a dozen repetitions, to get what I want.

But most people don't look that closely.

On the topic of interpolation, I wonder if other areas along the trail of the Yellowstone hotspot might be easier/better sources of lithium. I suspect Nevada makes access easier than areas in the Snake river plain. But some of those areas might be more amenable to Lithium mining with less of an impact.

I specifically went out of my way on a trip a couple years ago to check out Thacker Pass to see where this planned Lithium mine was going. Unfortunately there was thick smoke followed a significant thunderstorm as a front came through and I didn't get to explore much.

There's now AMD laptops certified for Thunderbolt 4 coming to the market, such as the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 [1], so it's no longer this clear cut.

[1] https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/coming-soon/lenovo-thinkpad-t...
I think I misread your tone, sorry.

It's a good article though, the explanation of how multiplies work is nicely written.
I have a Dell laptop with a Thunderbolt docking station. The docking station is great for staying connected to all the things you normally leave on your desk when you take the laptop somewhere: dual monitors, keyboard, mouse, ethernet connection, webcam, speakers, etc. It's not that great for plugging in, for instance, temporary USB devices like thumb drives or USB hard drives. (This docking station has some USB ports on the back, where they're hard to get to, and only a single one on the front.)

So I'm very happy that this laptop, though still quite thin, actually has two USB-A ports (USB 3.0), on the sides. It's also nice sometimes to be able to plug in an HDMI monitor if I'm not at my desk/home, without needing to carry a stupid dongle.
Oh, I was just wanting to clarify the "Apple co-founded".

They had the Newton project, found ARM did a better job than the other options, but there were a few missing pieces. They funded the spun out project so they could throw ARM a few new requirements for the CPU design.

As a "cofounder" of ARM, they didn't contribute technical experience and the architecture did already exist.
We have exactly this set up at work and I've never had a single issue with it. One usb c cable from one monitor to my laptop, which provides power and gets me two 24 inch monitors. I take video calls all day and never have any lag across the 3 screens (including tbe laptop screen).

If I wanted to I could plug my headphones (3.5mm or usb) into the monitor which is also a USB hub.
Your view even of human languages is simplistic. Forgive me, I don't mean to be rude, I'm just trying to explain.

You might think that languages are just have different words for the same things.

In reality the problems are where the same things don't exist. People don't view the world the same way and don't have an equivalent word. In Turkish it's very important whether your aunt is on your mother's side or your father's side so there are different words for each....but there's no words for "he" or "she" as they don't bother with gender in sentences.

So for example every conversation converted from Turkish to English loses an important bit of meaning about relationships and the sex of a person has to be inferred from context which is not easy to do automatically.

Similarly computer software....and there's a lot of it.

It will, because that is the fate of every guest language since the dawn of times.

The "systems" language of the platform, evolves with the platform, is designed alongside the platform.

The guest languages might be better than the platform's "systems" language, on the day of the release, eventually it is bound to diverge with its own library ecosystem built on top (because "ugh" we're not using the platform libraries directly), its own IDE tooling, its additional debugging layer due to platform interop, its own abstractions not native to the platform,.....

Eventually it naturally diverges as the platform takes incompatible decisions,...

C and C++ on UNIX, JavaScript and anything compiles to JS, Java vs Groovy/Scala/Clojure/Kotlin/jTCL/Beanshell/jython/...., C# vs VB.NET/F#/C++/CLI/IronPython/IronRuby,...

The guest languages that are survive, are those that move beyond the platform that gave them birth and create a platform of their own.

In Kotlin's case that is definitely Android, because Android team is doing everything at their disposal to make Java a 2nd class language on Android, rewriting Jetpack libraries in Kotlin, requiring Kotlin for Compose, showing off Kotlin code samples against Java 8 examples(!), I bet they only starting updating Java support, because Android was starting to lose too many Java libraries as the Java ecosystem adopts new versions.

Still, Android 15 being released one year later from Java 21 LTS, is still catching up with Java 17 LTS, introduced in Android 13 and not yet fully implemented, kind of proves the point of them not being in a hurry for proper Java support on the platform.

I appreciate Comic Sans. It's fun and whimsical, in a sea of overly serious fonts.

Thank you. I'll watch them. It's incredible that Hardy gave Ramanujan a perfect 100, no reserves at all. I guess that only comes due to the close interactions with him.

Another marvelous mathematician story is that of Yitang Zhang. The Newyorker had a good article about him if you haven't seen it yet.

Apart from esthetic considerations which are more or less personal taste Comic Sans is very readable.

Things like wobly lines or non symmetric letters (p q) help readability a lot.

Many fonts for the dyslexic use similar styling techniques to avoid letters flipping for example.

Programmer fonts are usually made for readability and I would assume the same holds true there.
Sorry - it was tongue in cheek, but reflecting what university seems to be for these days rather than what it should be for.
>>Qualcomm moves to RISC-V and ARM

That is a HUGE cost!
I've not done a lot of Go, but a former employer used it for all the back-end stuff, and they weren't using the standard modules for web stuff either (and it was at a time who didn't have a proper dependency management tooling so it was very tedious compares to modern languages).
> The -o models are "just" stronger versions of their non-suffixed predecessors.

Cheaper and faster, but not notably "stronger" at real-world use.
I recently switched to it for coding and surprisingly I love it. It's readability is very high.
Unlikely. It's easy to find out where federal spending goes as it is all public. The biggest outlays are for health care, education, and social security and other pensions. I don't hear much call for less spending in any of those areas from people who actually want to be elected.
But you can never be sure if a dock will work for your device I am below 40% succes rate. Though I do not really care much about it, luckily it worked at home on first try but it was expensive.
I tend to cycle between Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, HBO Max, Apple TV+. We usually have 1-2 of the services at a time for a couple of months, where we watch everything new interesting on that platform, and then cancel the subscription and move to a different platform (depending on what series we’ve excited for).
Completely agreed, it’s very frustrating when a once useful app becomes sidelined and is difficult to migrate off of.

Speaking of shortcuts, that’s actually been on my list of things to implement, so if you’re interested check back at the end of next week for the next app update.

My own anecdote: I have a bunch of friends talking about piracy once again.
>Can every system that’s solving something that’s NP-complete solve every other NP-complete problem?

Yes, by definition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NP-completeness , point 4).
> I just don’t think Qualcomm seriously wants to invest in RISC-V unless ARM forces them to.

That makes a lot of sense. RISC-V is really not at all close to being at parity with ARM. ARM has existed for a long time, and we are only now seeing it enter into the server space, and into the Microsoft ecosystem. These things take a lot of time.

> I still think the scope of work would be relatively small

I'm not so sure about this. Remember that an ISA is not just a set of instructions: it defines how virtual memory works, what the memory model is like, how security works, etc. Changes in those things percolate through the entire design.

Also, I'm going to go out on a limb and claim that verification of a very high-powered RISC-V core that is going to be manufactured in high-volume is probably much more expensive and time-consuming than the case for an ARM design.

edit: I also forgot about the case with Qualcomm's failed attempt to get code size extensions. Using RVC to approach parity on code density is expensive, and you're going to make the front-end of the machine more complicated. Going out on another limb: this is probably not unrelated to the reason why THUMB is missing from AArch64.
This isn't about copyright law. Who is responsible for content served on the internet? In pretty much all jurisdictions I'm aware of, it defaults to the one hosting the content. In this case, the Wikimedia foundation.

In the case of US law, Section 230 exempts Wikimedia Foundation from being responsible for the content of Wikipedia, which is probably the basis for your intuition, but there is not to my knowledge any analogue to Section 230 in Indian law.
Thanks, I think. But no, I didn't mean to pick on California as a bad state, I thought for some reason most people thought it was a nice state. I do, at least, despite its warts.

All I meant to say is that we can find many reasons every state is bad. But we shouldn't post them every time it's mentioned.

If Meta declared they were opening a huge new office in the bay, we'd get interesting discussion. If they announced they're opening it in Little Rock, we get little more than how awful AR is.

>> I even saw one laptop that only had 2 USB-C ports, with 1 of them to use for charging. (Dell XPS 13 for example)

There are dongles with e.g. HDMI + Eth + USB-C, so you gain 2 ports, and still have the USB-C for charging.
I run USB-C with one cable to a Thunderbolt4 dock station (ThinkPad Hybrid USB-C with USB-A Dock) running two high-res screens from my Macbook Air M2 + all other accessories.

Plug in one cable and I'm done.

Note: Most docking hubs only support a feature of DisplayPort called MST to run two monitors off a single connection. The USB-C connection to the hub is using something called Alt Mode to carry the video signal using DisplayPort protocol. MacOS only supports MST in mirror mode over USB. It needs to be Thunderbolt for full MST support with dual, unique displays.
Beautiful personal site!
> blind deference to the status quo

Because unchecked corporate interests / you don't vote for the President but for electors are hot takes?

(Also, "your vote is at the very least supposed to be proportionally significant to the general population" doesn't technically make sense. I think I know what you're getting at. But even ignoring the political structure and just focussing on voting, you're assuming by statement values for parameters which lie on a spectrum.)
you're confusing minesweeper with nuclear disarmament.
I survived with a 12" Macbook and a solitary USB-C port. The one difference is that I did have an audio jack as well.

I found a monitor that had a USB-C connection with charging, a USB hub, ethernet etc. (of which there were very few back in 2015). When I was somewhere other than my own desk, the Apple HDMI dongle was more than good enough.

The only "this sucks" scenario was when I had the opportunity to use multiple external models, but couldn't. Aside from that, I don't regret getting that laptop.
No, you're talking about Thunderbolt. USB-C is the shape of the port, but Displayport over USB-C is called Thunderbolt.

I have had laptops that had USB-C ports that didn't support video.
This looked incredibly non-obvious until I looked at the page in a much smaller window and the numbers became very easy to spot. Cool idea. Not how I imagined it from the description.
One of the many beauties of Framework laptops is that you don't have to take that decision and can mount the ports you want at anytime.

Check them out. It's probably the best decision I have taken in terms of technology in years.
Wait...why is the OriginalException shown? The try catch already handled it, and the second exception doesn't "use" it and instead create a new one...it shouldn't be shown.

Is python automatically chaining the exceptions itself in a non-explicit manner?

People keep trying to sell the speed of such solutions as a killer feature for uv, but I think I must not be anywhere near the target audience. The constraint-solving required for the sorts of projects I would typically work on is not even remotely as complex, while I'm bottlenecked by a slow, unreliable Internet connection (and the lack of a good way to tell Pip not to check PyPI for new versions and only consider what's currently in the wheel cache).

That’s an interesting take. I’ve heard it before but I believe the opposite. For me, Rust is much easier to refactor.

Zuckerberg and Musk are not just ordinary citzens.

Zuckerberg bought an entire island just to have his own private playground. Elon Musk brags about being the world's richest man and randomly ruins thousands of peoples' lives just because someone on the internet made him feel bad that morning. They're not ordinary people; they're people who made money by exploiting others.

I don't think that the richest lawyers deserve my deference just because we're in the same they're also in tech.
These companies exist as capitalist organizations, they don’t build planes and chips out of patriotic noblesse, they do it to turn a profit. In such a system, failed companies go out of business. It really is that simple, anything else leads to bailouts that socialize losses for companies that privatize profits.

If they’re so important, then they should be nationalized.
That's not how legal responsibility is assigned in nearly all jurisdictions. It doesn't matter who wrote some speech. It matters who _hosted_ the speech. I'm not a solicitor in India so I can't say for certain how things are handled here, but this is not surprising for any commonwealth jurisdiction.

> The main use case for LLMs remains blithering.

And in a close second-place, to cheaply/easily counterfeit signals that we are/were treating as indicators of human things like "intelligence", "time-investment", "emotional involvement", "distinct identity", etc.

I wonder how many traditional cover-letters / essays will vanish because the format has been so debased it doesn't mean anything, and people will say: "Just give me the core bullet-points."
I don't think this snapshot image/vision model is going to be the best solution. I think CLI is a much better interface for llms.
I agree it is a hassle, BUT, in my use-case I use them very little. I try to get everything BT (Head-phones (-set), mouse, keyboard). And also have a docking station in places where I'm lot of time.

So for example, at home and work have a docking with all cable (headset, keyboard, mouse). If I'm "outside" I will typically NOT take calls, and NOT use keyboard or other peripherals....

Last but not least, for many laptops there are "dongles" without cable, that act like a little extension of the housing of the laptop. They are pretty convenient.
Yeah, it's useless.

> Audio is probably fine... the standards there don't change as much.

As long as you don't care about latency.

For example, if you wind up with your 4K monitor sharing the same PCI-E lanes as your low latency audio device, you're in for a world of hurt.

Note: the problem here isn't USB-C, per se, as much as the fact that a device over USB-C can request so much data that it can hog the backend bus enough to cause issues with latency.
Isn't writing to it except by a branch instruction undefined behaviour?

If you can use it as an operand, it has a register number, so you can use it as a result, unless you special-case one or the other, which ARM didn't do because it was supposed to be simple. They could have ignored it by omitting some write decode circuitry, but why?
