Eh, I don’t think it’s the same thing. The gulf between “photos user” and “pixelmator” user is quite high, much more so than “weather app” and “weather app but better”.

In particular, if you have the average user Pixelmator, they’d be worse off. The same isn’t really true with weather or darksky - they really just do the same thing.

We still have iMovie and FinalCut, GarageBand and Logic. Apple has kept two different product lines before.

No. If you’re that kind of power user, the iMac isn’t for you. Get a Mac mini or studio.

Many of these are customer service desks which are visible from the side.

When was the last time you saw a GPU with slottable memory?

For transfer speeds, look at the data sheets for the M series. Much faster than DDR4 or DDR5 RAM. In the ballpark of GPU memory.

The ram is on the package for more than portability. It’s necessary for fast enough transfer speeds for the iGPU.

First, there's an official position: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_Official_White_House_Pho...

Secondly, why would it be a coincidence? You don't think... the people in the situation room knew something, perhaps a situation, was happening at the time?

Otherwise, why would they _be_ in the situation room? There's usually a situation going on.

It doesn't. A loss is a loss.

I think being into NFTs and crypto makes you a fool.

But I do not think fools should suffer vision damage, or that they deserve harm on them.

RAW video isn’t like RAW photography. The sheer size of raw footage is insane - it’s normal for cameras to be unable to record RAW footage natively without an external recorder.

Thats not to say processing isn’t part of it, but even $2k mirrorless cameras don’t record RAW video internally.

That depends on what the goal is. It's worthless if you're trying to convince the other side. But in many cases, you're actually trying to convince the audience, and certainly for something like a blogpost here, I'd argue that it is not only the case, but successful, since at minimum we know it got posted to hackernews and has traction.

To not be too pedantic about "ever", the current prosumer camera market is not shrinking, is growing, and the main manufacturers are increasing the pace of production, as models like the Fujifilm X100v have become highly sought after, but new, cameras that Fuji can't make enough of. Sales of the main full frame shooters Sony, Canon, Nikon, etc. are selling well, and we're getting active R&D on them. And the x100v is a "point and shoot", of course, but far more expensive (the real price for one is >$2k), far better image quality, and far better build quality.

Past the ~2000s these weren't really ever the cameras that laypeople bought anyway. Back when they were DLSRs, the cost and size were always prohibitive once cheap point and shoots were around. Cheap point and shoots are dead (but again, cameras like the x100v or ricoh gr are selling so well they can't make enough of them), but the interchangeable lens camera market is by no means in decline relative to the near past.

I mean, you'd also probably want to shoot at something other than 26mm. The image quality from the "telephoto" lens and wide lens on the iPhone (and any other flagship) is so bad it's distinctly noticeable even on an iPhone sized screen, compared to just the iPhone's main shooter, let alone a discrete camera.

Traditionally, the "default" focal length, for being close to the amount of distortion the human eye has, is 50mm - so quite a lot tighter than the iPhone's main shooter.

The iPhone look is a combination of extremely deep depth of field, not particularly pleasing bokeh, and digital sharpening and smoothing. Image stacking can make up for the lack of light on a tiny sensor with a slow lens, but it can't make up for the depth of field.

I don't think that's a fair characterization of the market. $300 point and shoots are indeed dead, but the prosumer photography market is as alive as ever, especially since the pandemic, during which every white collar worker seems to have decided to get a hobby of some kind.

Analog film photography, famously, had a huge resurgence the last 5 or so years, and is quite popular.

Sure, and that's the merchant's issue? There are no lack of merchants that take credit cards without any further measures like that. And because you used a credit card, you can, and probably should, just file a chargeback and be done with it.

What part of Zelle isn't safe, fast, and convenient, that is actually scoped under Zelle's responsibilities? Zelle is for moving money from bank account A to bank account B - that's where its responsibilities end.

Are they getting a cut of every dollar I spend?

They aren't.

What part of that is the fault of using a credit card? I'm extra confused since Amazon came into this, where you distinctly are able to use credit cards?

With a credit card, you have the fallback of chargebacking. That's the benefit. You haven't gotten to that stage, although you certainly could have escalated to there by now.

Idk, BART generally is considered to be dangerous and/or dirty but I don’t think the muni rails are considered as such when I lived there. They were generally pretty clean and not particularly janky.

I'm pretty sure it would detect the flat tire, alert a technician, and refuse to move.

Disagree on what? What angle is this from? Their bosses? The police? As a reader of journalism, I appreciate that they tested this edge case. I am not responsible for their safety, and as autonomous adults I trust they know what they're getting themselves into.

Muni is actually fairly clean and safe, it just goes nowhere.

It only recently went from “closed beta for free” to “charges anyone who wants to get on”. SF just cleared them to take fares.

It’s a good thing to test as a reporter. There are too many people for at least one person not to do something dumb, or fall onto while doing something dumb, so it’s good to know nothing would happen.

Or stop developing Terraform, cut expenditures, and move on with life.

How would that be an improvement to anyone in any way? If you want, you can just pretend that Terraform is dead and Hashicorp will never push another commit for it. The people who can make the compromises BSL has can continue to use it.

If the viability of your business is predicated on being the only one able to provide your project as a service and earn that service revenue gravy, just leave it closed source and proprietary. Sure, you won't get adoption at anywhere near the rate, but that's the tradeoff you make.

I don’t understand why this is a binary. If the conditions of the BSL are unacceptable to YOU that’s fine, just pretend it’s closed source if you wish. For others, that the BSL isn’t completely proprietary is useful for them - let it be useful. Your wishes need not dictate everyone else’s.

That’s pretty much how all payment processors work. The issue for them is that letting fraudsters continue making payments will lead to big Ls for the payment processors, since they end up being on the hook for the money that card networks will clawback or liability from regulations and money laundering laws.

The rise of SaaS has made piracy much less of a threat to revenue. Can’t pirate it if you need a server to do anything.

So they negotiated a license? Meta partnered with Azure for the Llama 2 launch, there’s no reason to think that they’re antagonistic towards each other.

Nope. Raw models are purely trained on their corpus of text in an autoregressive manor. No chat fine tuning or rlhf.

The community fine tunes. I doubt Facebook used chatgpt.

That's not how it works. Llama and Llama 2's raw model is not "censored". Their fine tunes often are, either explicitly, like Facebook's own chat fine tune of llama 2, or inadvertently, because they trained with data derived from chatGPT, and chatGPT is "censored".

When models are "uncensored", people are just tweaking the data used for fine tuning and training the raw models on it again.

I don’t see why there’s outrage. Facebook released both the raw models and a few fine tuned on chat prompts for a reason. In many commercial cases, safer is better.

But you don’t want that? No problem. That’s why the raw model weights are there. It’s easy to fine tune it to your needs, like the blogpost shows.
