With collisions and perhaps a few other things, couldn't it be used in a game to design machines? Seems fun.

Wouldn't you just be pushed into dressing the same way? Is it really problematic?

What new job will arise? The ones requiring more education? The barrier to enter the economy cannot indefinitely grow, do we want every single human to become an AI developer or a researcher? The problem is that humans aren't getting s

Ignoring study, that would be a more graphic example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meiU6TxysCg Or historically, if this wasn't true we would be the happiest humans to ever live on earth. Doesn't seem to be true

I do not believe that standard of living should be compared in a vacuum. Since I assume that this is what you are referring to, I am firmly convinced that happiness is relative. What this means is that improving the standard of living of th

The dog would say that it has more value, same for a tree, or an ant. If we had to fully protect everything categorized as intelligent/living, we wouldn't do much. Dogs may be a hard no for someone, and yes for someone else. It&#x

Possibly, but I do not believe that it only impact children. Is there a benefit aspect of smoking ads targeted at adults?

What we need is to have an app store as a public service. Why on hell would you want a for-profit company to decide what companies are allowed to exist?

You would likely prefer to be judged on what you are doing now than what happened 9 years ago. From what I am seeing they already apologized, what do you expect this thread to do?

While these optimizations make sense, I cannot hide my disappointment as to how easy they are to break. C-like branches/loops are definitely not designed for modern CPUs (at least not in an efficient manner) Do anyone perhaps know one&

by TheMode 4y ago
Private companies having a direct say in what products are allowed to exist is a big issue by itself. At the very least they should only charge what it costs them and run the app store as non-profit. Obviously this is wishful thinking, but

> I don’t use spotify so I can’t speak for their platform but don’t they charge outside of Apples ecosystem My point is that platforms cannot simply make their own phone/ecosystem to avoid clearly abusive behavior. Smartphones are a

Because what Apple is doing doesn't only affect Apple users. As said, phones aren't just phones.

Sure, and you can pay for App Store ads separately... The issue is not that Apple charge for exposure, but that you are forced to.

The whole purpose of Nalim is to be faster, Panama FFI currently perform similarly to JNI.

Looks great but the API itself doesn't seem very innovative (which is probably not the goal anyway). I'd personally be interested in a graphics API that do not try to render the whole buffer every frame, but update it given a list

Fact is that it already worked well, no point in trying to find unnecessary confusions

Only in the US? Why?

Until you discover that any new performance/efficiency discovery gets spent on more bloated software.

I know, my point was about how software developers could be forced to make more efficient software instead of relying on more and more powerful hardware. Also, how many CPU generations would be required to compare to our current hardware wi

I am personally much more annoyed at Apple preventing JIT compilation on iOS than the lack of browser competition. I do not really want to give chromium more market share, and it can already compete on macOS.

Agree that Discord & Slack alone are probably not the sole culprits. But if you expand this to all existing computers (including datacenters) and programs using unnecessary abstraction layers, I wouldn't be surprised if we heavily

Reusing instead of recycling will always be more environment friendly. No exception.

What alternate OS? The one where developers are still in the process of reverse engineering Apple's SoC?
