If these are bad enough, they are sometimes fixed by a fresh install (which has the effect of reseting settings to High Sierra defaults).

Saving internal memory state to a file is such a terrible idea, who would do that! Proceeds to go write a program to manipulate memory-mapped files.

I believe this is what graphics tools do, for other reasons as well. Each operation creates a new layer and what you see is the dynamically rendered composition. This lets you do things like adjust the strength / intensity of the effec

At the cost of doubling the state size you can maintain an undo skip list to get log N performance for long undos. But that is useless for he common case of stepping back one at a time.

To clarify, since the edit window expired, I bet that Apple books a lot of their expenses as infrastructure investment or other things that don’t factor in as costs in those profitability calculations. Accounting wise they made a huge profi

The number quoted for profitability is typically “gross margin” which does not include the extra costs I mentioned.

DHTs are not fast (or secure, but that’s another story).

There’s two main formation pathways for black holes: ongoing stellar collapse and galaxy collapse in the early universe. The former makes stellar-mass black holes. The latter makes enormous million-stellar mass black holes or larger. That’s

Serious question: do any of these devices do local inference without streaming audio to some server somewhere?

How true is that? Apple hardware is expensive, yes. But Apple provides everything including research and design of every aspect of that product from the individual chips (designed in house) to the highest level software services. Unlike Ama

I would certainly not want my doctor or surgeon to be as “alert” as a new parent..

Because in principle peer review is the basis of scientific progress. Without peer review, poor incentives lead to scientific inquiry about as accurate or useful as Buzzfeed. Of course modern journals are a disgrace to the enlightenment. Bu

You can profoundly understand something because you understand the mechanism of its working and have deeply integrated it into your mental model of the world. Or you can "profoundly understand" something by having your brain remem

It permanently changes you by causing conditions by which your brain rewires itself. For psychiatric patients that is often a good thing because where they are at is not a good place. But why would you throw a spanner in the works if you&#x

Sure, but this comment was supposed to convince me do undergo hallucinogenic treatment because it can be profound experience, or something. I'm not really sure actually, but it does say that in the first sentence. The actual result cou

It caches them. Uses a ton of space though, so be careful.

Or psychoactive drugs don’t teach you anything new but rather modify brain functionality such that you feel different. Gaining new belief or believing you have new beliefs are typically indistinguishable from the inside.

Journals should not accept for publication articles which do not come with data and analysis source code for full replication of the results reported.

Yes, that’s my point. The BI proposal is flawed as it leads to hyperinflation.

> And with a warming globe overall, there will definitely be no new ice age. That's bullocks. That's not how "global warming" works, which is why scientists are typically careful to call it "climate change."

In economics "rational" has a very specific, technical meaning, specifically acting in the way that is most profitable. So I'm not 100% sure I understand what you mean when you say that free markets can be irrational by carin

A lot of economists are freaked out about the effect quantitative easing might have on our economy going forward. But even the highest, recklessly dangerous levels of QE3, that only amounted to about $1,500/yr for each US citizen. BI p

Well for example, T cannot be less than the temperature of the cosmic microwave background. You can make regions with lower T, but only by pumping heat out in some way, which is more energy to do. Being on mobile and not able to explore in
