I understand the point of view, but aside from the analogue vs. digital debate of passing double blind tests of final output, in my personal experience the real big difference is in real-time when the sound is being produced. The subtleties

The 12ax7 and ecc83 / el84s are still commonly used in guitar amps. It’s fascinating how different manufacturers versions of the 12ax7 affects tone and transients.

Tying your app to the fs isn’t that bad if the fs is flexible and portable enough such as zfs having the ability to use plain files. Doesn’t seem much worse than tying it to a particular database or API

Looking at the numbers, both iPad and Mac sales exceeded estimates, iPhone was inline. Seems likely a lot of this came from laptop and iPad sales for work-from-home, and home education respectively, as opposed to frivolous luxury consumer s

I didn’t realize nvidia had that much cash to play with. The only reason I can think of for Apple not to scoop them is to avoid attracting antitrust enforcement.

Agreed. In matrix/synapse, even with e2e enabled the server gets a ton of metadata, including presence info. Also the identity server exposes quite a bit.

By “non-cloud based email system” you mean anything that isn’t gmail via a web browser? I regularly access my “non-cloud based email systems” from 8 different devices.

I’ll happily accept any wireframes you may have that wouldn’t increase friction beyond the typical “choose your username and password”. You may be overestimating the typical non-hackernews user. It’s at least as challenging as getting users

Thank you. The systems approach does seem to be the only way to meaningful impact. “Simply” automating the existing systems doesn’t seem the right approach either.

Do you see any other areas in addition to mechanization that tech can be valuable? In other words, are there problems that software alone can help solve or is it simply down to replacing some of the manual labor with robotics and smarter ma

I wasn’t intending to imply that he or the new deal were good or bad, just how I interpreted the history. I’ve yet to find a US president that I would classify as benevolent, honest, or worthy of exaltation.
