I'm mostly agreeing with you. Steam definitely has a monopoly of PC gaming, but it's also true that having a single place with all your games and friends is far more convenient. I'm not sure where the right balance is. Are we

Right, I think the solution to this, which already exists, is other preinstalled stores, like Samsung or Amazon stores, by OEMs. What should probably be illegal is making deals forcing OEMs to have exclusive app store deals? That being said

I agree that right now, most people shouldn't give this a try. But at some point it will reach a steady state. Either Beeper manages to make a client that is truly indistinguishable from old iPhones, and gets to exist for a few years,

I believe that reverse engineering for the purpose of interop is different and has been found to be fair use by the courts.

So by enabling dozens of hardware companies to literally exist and make a ton of money, they are a monopoly? So they're being punished for being open and sharing their OS with others?

> because it was all totally above board What do you mean by above board? What they claimed is that there is no way of telling Beeper Mini clients from an old iPhone, therefore Apple wouldn't be able to block one without blocking th

app stores do a lot more than payment processors though. Maybe not 30% worth, but definitely mote than 1-2%. The real issue though is that there isn't a good way to handle every app. In a normal world, every app would cost money to buy

mRNA isn't necessarily. The custom made cancer ones are, but that's different.

And AlphaFold! Which is a game changer for drug development.

wouldn't some IR go through clouds? I thought that was the point of using IR. That being said, the more important question is, how's the temporal resolution.

Hmm, I don't see which part of the theory requires the board to not have known. It just may have taken them a week to decide who's head to cut for the mess

Hmm curious why the two syllable "jury" Why not jam, jaw, jail, junk, join, jerk, jest, jazz, jade, etc.

I agree, but so is the start up cost of so many other tools people use such as emacs/vim, dvorak/colemak, chorded keyboards, etc. That being said, I think the biggest limiter is the fact that you can only really use this if you wo

Sure, but it doesn't change the fact that no public traded company would ever do this, or spend this much resources in things such as repairability or Linux layer improvements. It's nice that Valve is still a private company and c

My guess is: 1. SBF's crimes hurt rich powerful people 2. Trump has a third of the voting population in a cult-like trance 3. Prosecuting political figures is a lot harder, especially presidents

It depends what you define as a "test". It's like how for Covid vaccines, antivaxxers were claiming that vaccines were still being tested on people despite it getting past phase 1, 2 and 3. At what point do you consider somet

If you're comparing to other accidents in the same (geofenced) zipcode, then why is it not an accurate comparison?

Not really. Oharmaceuticals have many different tiers of trials, but even with that, there are still new discoveries and surprises once they reach the full population. Waymo has been testing their tech for over a decade in much smaller and

It's a lose lose situation. I've been reading conversation about self driving cars for years and what you always heard back in the days is that they were way too conservative on these kinds of turns and blocked traffic. Hell even

Absolutely. Glad California DMV is taking the more level headed approach here and evaluating them case by case based on merit.

Same with Minecraft. It's a perfect example of how gameplay > visuals. The "secret" for both those cases is likely that they were lazy and just used some low effort placeholder at first, then the game blew up and the style

Always a bit confusing since reddit has admins and moderators, and they are very different. Admins are reddit employees, moderators are just random people who run a specific subreddit. So if I understand correctly, this was a site level fea

Hands have definitely gotten much better in the latest version of Midjourney. Text is the one everyone struggles at, but early samples of Dall-E 3 had some promising examples.

Is there any in depth comparison of mypy, pytype, pyright and pyre yet? They all seem to have slightly different approaches and features, but it's hard to decide which is best for the job.
