Let's assume that Microsoft continues their path, and eventually makes it impossible to disable ads (or at least plays whack a mole as a game of attrition, increasing the necessary effort to the point the commjnity gives up). Would you

I got hit by this fact hard on the first (and only) device I upgraded, a Surface Pro 6. Second(s) lag on just opening the Start menu with nothing else running, long delays when loading the file Explorer, I suffered through it for a bit just

Aside from a physics simulation, I'm curious as to what you think would be a positive cost benefit from that level of multithreading for the majority of game engines. Graphical pipelines take advantage of the concept but offload as muc

Not yet. But rest assured, they are just getting started. I know of one theory that suggests ATT was really just Apple preparing to launch its own Ads network. https://www.wired.com/story/apple-is-an-ad-company-now&#x2F

To be fair, that's only in part because Apple doesn't seem to have the level of device management Windows offers. Many of the solutions I've seen in the corp environment try to make up for this with some frankly janky solutio

Some folks stream VR games with a second camera on a green screen, which provides a 3rd person perspective for the audience. It's pretty incredible. I can easily see less tech savvy consumers being confused.

This is ultimately what they want: their owned walled garden, where they get to be the decider, hold the power, track the user's as first party data, etc. It makes perfect sense. They want this to be the next Android OS (with Play Stor

Steam does something similar for indie publishers. Unless you reach $100 in sales, you will not receive a check.

I agree. I recall the first time I used an Apple device after the "corner swipes" became the norm. I was shocked at how challenging it was to get right, then puzzled by the lack of any labels on what I saw. I recall thinking, &quo

Are you saying you are OK with Apple themselves being privy to this information? Honestly, I'm not sure I find their access to it any less terrifying.

If it's a game, I think the old phrase "everything is made up and the points don't matter" applies well here. It's really hard to score a phrase for truthfulness. Even among humans often it's ambiguous; we have

Yup, this is basically the best starting point. It is just a different kind of monopoly, which also often gives the illusion of achieving an elite, illustrious lifestyle when the reality is that many physicians start in serious debt.

Appreciate the effort to keep HN in a good place, but I'm not sure the rules above apply here. While related, tropes and memes are technically distinct concepts. https://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2020/01&#x2F

This works when you have automated setup of the services, configuration, etc. I can't speak for you, but my home machines don't have the same love and care for that step as parts of my kubernetes cluster.

The arguments I've heard are basically increased cognitive load and the ability to make spaghetti logic. There may also be some concern, depending on the language, that problems are more likely if you can arbitrarily exit a scope/

Who says it was Boeing? They're a publicly traded company; many would stand to lose a great deal of money should they go under. Then there are those that stand to gain from added chaos. Time may never tell, but let's not pretend p

What moat exactly? Much of the user data they have access to is drying up due to new regulations, some of which prohibit IIRC direct use on models as well. I'm not even sure they can use historical data. Meta certainly has an edge in e

I suspect you might be surprised. They keep almost everything in the same monorepo: every service, Facebook itself, the backend tools, many of the 'spinoff' experiences, the user data processing pipeline, the list goes on. All in

FWIW, whether you use Turbo or an accelerator (i.e. Nvidia's TensorRT), there is plenty of guesswork in the prompt you want. Iterating quickly with low steps in Euler A, finding a great prompt that works, then switching to higher fidel

That's a bold statement. Videos, music, photos, all of these add up fast. I have encountered plenty of family and friends needing help when their storage is exhausted. Then there is the ever increasong bloat of software, web apps, etc.

Mmm, remains to be seen. Apple hasn't won anything yet. Data gathering is clearly the goal here, with those whom own the platform being the victors. A few headsets have been sold, sure, but market penetration is the key. I think Meta i

Not fair. He has been doing his part, and demonstrably so. It's up to the public whether to act on this knowledge. Would you have preferred they start screaming at the top of his lungs that they're all going to die?

Chilling stuff. What surprised me more is how much of the trouble predated the global pandemic.

This space is growing by leaps and bounds. It's not so much the passage of time as it is the number of notable advancements that is dictating the pace.

There are a lot of issues with this whole process. Never mind the thawing part; unless you can guarantee a timeframe, there is always the ongoing maintenance costs, what happens with a seismic event (frozen lattice + kinetic energy), scarci
