That's like saying companies you worked for couldn't exist without indoor plumbing (which is what OSS effectively is). Yet the earliest company was founded in the year 578 AD, and other massive organizations (like empires) existed much earlier than that. OSS is plumbing, cheaper plumbing makes for more tiny fruit-fly companies, yes, but there are always alternatives.

I did not do the math at all correct. (I'm on vacation and apparently left most of my brain cells at home.)

I stupidly counted:

9 planets total

2 "ocean" moons (Enceladus + Europa) + Earth = 3 bodies with water.
9 divided by 3 = 30%

So that is my half thinking.

I'm not a Big Company person or a Founder. From my perspective, it's the "continue to the next phase" that is the whole problem.

Not everything needs to be expanded to it's logical extreme. I've worked in a lot of places, and the ideal employer is probably one who is in the middle, and planning on staying there.

The concept of "grow until you've eaten everybody" is sickening, and tiring. Especially for your non-C-suite employees who don't give a fuck about the logo on their shirt. I'm talking of course about most people the second they are no longer within earshot of their boss.

That "momentum, oomph, pizzazz" is not normal all the time. In the words of Mark Meadows, "if everything is sacred; then nothing is sacred." Meaning if you don't prioritize what is truly important, and simply assume that everything is of equally critical importance, then chances are you will fail at many more things than if you focused on the one most important thing.

But companies don't think that way. They see missed anything as missed opportunity. That is rarely the case.

Here's an example; Imagine a machine shop that has 10 customers and 65% on-time delivery. The top 3 customers drive 75% of the businesses revenue. Now lets assume that they are in negotiations with a potential 11th customer who will be their new 5th largest customer.

The cut-throat capitalist would pull all their strings to get this customer. And then the rest of the customers will notice that their 65% on time delivery decreases to 55% as a result. Now the 3rd largest customer is quoting their parts elsewhere because they need a second supplier to cover how unreliable your deliveries are.

Do you believe that had the business not taken on the additional customer that they would have "missed a revenue opportunity"? Is that big picture stuff, small picture stuff, or just humans who live in a real world stuff?

EE263 – Introduction to Linear Dynamical Systems
I'd still pick RDP for remote managing any day, its server and client are so much better integrated (clipboard, peripherals, etc.) for this task than Sunshine/Moonlight. It also avoids the whole issue of setting up a virtual display output[1] as is required by Sunshine. I use both for different tasks.

On a related note, as of recent versions, Sunshine and Moonlight stable releases support 4:4:4 chroma subsampling and bitrates up to 500Mbit/s with HEVC, which results in almost indistinguishable image quality compared to native output[2]. Bitrates that high are unusual in normal content, but at least Apple's Media Engine (on M-series Macs) appears to be capable of decoding it.

[1] Here is a pretty good solution that piggybacks off of Parsec's driver, which is fully signed, though its EDID lacks HDR support. The project also includes a C header file for custom implementations: https://github.com/nomi-san/parsec-vdd

[2] Note: I found that I had to enable 10-bit color streaming (which is available when using Parsec's driver) to get rid of some gradient banding that isn't present in native 8-bit. I suspect it's some encoder and/or color space issue.
People taking such offense to something so absolutely inconsequential, on an internet forum no less, is ridiculous to me and I can't take anyone seriously who gets worked up about it.

> "appears to have found that that the AI/ML organization built at Apple struggled to manifest its work into successful product wins despite the massive financial investment"

I would contest this statement very vigorously. Siri has been a disappointment but nearly every single Apple product has a load-bearing reliance on an AI/ML feature.

I'm continually frustrated by the (relatively recent, since LLMs) tic where just because a ML model isn't conversing with you or otherwise making its presence impossible to ignore, that it isn't delivering a massive amount of value. It is frustrating from laypeople, it is extra frustrating from industry insiders.

Just a few examples off the top of my head:

- AirPods with ANC and spatial audio. Both headline features of these products that are 100% AI/ML.

- Watch with heart arrhythmia detection, automatic workout detection, fall detection, etc. All are headline features (some literally life-saving) and are 100% AI/ML.

- iPhones have high-profile features that are 100% AI/ML: automatic car crash detection. Others are more subtle but IMO substantial differentiators - such as automatic image enhancements out-of-camera.

Again, I know in the age of ChatGPT we seem to have twisted ideas of what ML is, but "AI/ML" is not synonymous with LLM.
The post you replied to is a reference to Bandit saying "it's just monkeys singing songs, mate", when he goes to the movies with Bluey.

That's basically what the Apple Vision Pro is designed to be, in terms of UX and software. It just turns out we're still a long way away from the hardware being small and light enough to make that work.
The values and viewpoints of the developer certainly matters.

One of the "eternal September" moments of web app development was in the late 1990s when Microsoft went "all-in" and Microsoft-oriented developers flooded forums with tearful laments about how "MY BOSS NEEDS TO ME TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS LOCAL FILES IN A WEB APPLICATION!"

From the viewpoint of a web-native developer though, you need local files about as much as Superman needs a Kryptonite sandwich. (You didn't lose local files, you gained the universe! Look at how multimedia software on CD-ROM was utterly destroyed by the world wide web!)

That image sorter, for instance, has a million images sampled from a practically infinite pool all available instantly to any device anywhere in the world that's attached to my TailNet -- though you'd better believe I keep RAWs from my Sony on local file systems. [1]

I had a boss who ran a web design company circa 2005 which had a great spiel about how with web applications small businesses could finally afford custom software, I had my own technical version of it which went something like. "Back in the Windows '95 age obsolete desktop applications kept their state as a disorganized graph of pointers that inevitably gets corrupted just like cheese goes bad and crash; modern web applications keep their state in a transaction-protected database (if you're smart enough to NOT GET SEDUCED BY SESSION VARIABLES PROVIDED BY YOUR RUNTIME) so your application state is refreshed with every page update"

[1] Adobe's relationship to the local filesystem drives me nuts even though I've talked w/ people there like Larry Masinter and deeply studied file formats enough to understand their point of view. My first instinct, having worked at a library, is that you want to associate metadata with an object, in fact I really want to "name" an object after a hash of the contents and have the object be immutable.

On the other hand, XMP which stuffs a metadata packet into a file, is a good fit for the way people use desktop apps. Still, my #1 complaint about Photoshop is thinks a file has a changed (some metadata has changed) when I do some operation that I don't think of as a mutation such as making a print or exporting a compressed and scaled JPG with the "Save to Web" Dialog. Since I do a lot of different things with my machine I am always forcing shutdowns which means Photoshop is always harassing me to recover files that I "didn't save" even though I didn't really change them. Sometimes I just save files that I don't really want to save but it feels icky because the source file might be a JPG which might not round trip perfectly, where I might feel compelled to save at a higher quality than the original file and all of that.

Fwiw my kids (9 - 12) watched every episode at least 4 times already by now. Especially my youngest thinks it's 10x better than anything else on offer. In terms of categories, there's basically Bluey, and everything else. Just to say, tastes differ.

I agree it's a great show for parents too but the idea that it doesn't stick out much for the kids doesn't resonate with me. There's so many details, so many layers, so much to discover.

Your response gives no refutation or engagement with substantive claims.

As I pointed out, HN are among some of the most likely people in the US to have direct personal experience with Chinese nationals. In addition, those same readers are also far more prone to engage with alternative media than the average US citizen. On top of that, they are also likely engaging the best of Chinese nationals as they both have the motivation and intelligence to learn English and operate outside of the country.

If the reality of interacting with these people contradicts Chinese propaganda like this article, well, that is its own message.

At this point, weakening any American tech company really is a matter of data sovereignty for Europe. That may not be the main reason all this started, but I think recent months have underscored Europe's need, and supercharged Europe's determination in this regard. I'd expect significant changes in EU policies regarding tech companies going forward. Mostly calibrated to decrease American dominance in the sector.

> If you had 0 education, and only experiences, you would only have the brutality of nature to refer to.

But such a person does not exist, as a big part of what it means to be a parent is to be the primary educator of one's children. You also grow up in a culture. What you're describing are feral human beings, in other words, people who are incredibly developmentally stunted as human beings.

> They believe religion[...] and live according to that.

This is quite a lazy and sloppy claim. What is religion, first of all? It isn't univocal. The best you can say univocally is something like "worldview". But everyone has some kind of worldview, so everyone is religious. So the question isn't "whether", but "how".

If by "religion", you mean a belief in God, then I urge you to look at the historically most important thinkers in history. Very few were atheists. And the atheists with the most intellectual heft didn't dismiss belief in God so casually. That kind of amateurish yucking it up is characteristic precisely of the intellectual halfwits you see among New Atheists. New Atheism is atheism for dummies.
Your last sentence makes me think we agree. In my experience employees perceive they have much more to lose from transparency. If they are low agency, not actively bad and defer when asked what they want, you may be surprised when they finally quit.

I would argue if you are actually good at reasoning, you can easily optimize and make the map lookup tasks efficient and automated. Unless the environment doesn't allow you to do so.
Wow, that's ... ambitious. I'd imagine the extra mass to make an energyia-size tank+engines able to land horizontally to be enormous. It's not just wings (plus folding mechanism, if you believe that's worth saving a bit of drag on the way up) but also landing gear plus all the structural strengthening required.

Sounds suspiciously like one of those projects you propose when you want something finer short term but assume that they never survive to the point where they actually need to deliver?

> Put simply, building more housing solves housing affordability just like building more roads solves traffic. It doesn't!

It does, in both cases. Induced demand is a garbage theory. It's basically the idea that if you increase supply by 50%, and then lower prices increase demand by 20%, you would then have to increase supply by another 20%. Which would increase demand by 5%. But that just means you should increase supply by 80% to begin with so you have enough for both the existing and additional demand. The latter is finite.

> Cheaper housing = more kids = just-as-expensive housing within a generation, in a vicious cycle.

More kids are good, actually? It prevents economic collapse as a result of an ageing population. The US fertility rate is already below the population replacement rate -- in significant part as a result of high housing costs.

> The planet, this human ant farm that we live in, frankly, is full.

You need to build more housing even for a given level of population because demand shifts around, e.g. Detroit has negative population growth so existing housing in Detroit doesn't satisfy demand in San Francisco.

> The Earth can't take more housing and more greenhouse gas emissions.

Greenhouse gas emissions are solvable independent of housing. You can heat a house using electric heat pumps and power heat pumps from renewable or nuclear energy without CO2 emissions. If you want to solve CO2 you use a carbon tax, not zoning laws.

If anything restricting the number of kids does the opposite because you get more childless retirees with little incentive to vote for preserving the future because they were deprived of the opportunity to have a family to care about the future of.
