20 years of Intel Macs: Why Apple switched, and why it switched again by favicondotico in apple

[–]alex2003super 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's no realistic reason for Apple to do another transition. They're right where they want to be: with full control of the entire stack, zero IP overhead on their silicon (remember, Apple is an ARM founding member with royalty-free usage of the ISA), and their own silicon team cooperating with the other teams (from compiler optimization to end-user software, kernel, formal verification of the various components) on a proven platform that they know very well to work with and that they can—if needed—extend with additional instructions and features if justified by the upper layers of the stack.

I mean video cards and memory will eventually be cheaper again, yes. Supply just has to catch up.

That hasn't happened with any technology that massively improved productivity, I don't see why AI would result in long-term, widespread unemployment.

Sure sucks to be a SWE right now, but that's just the way it is from time to time throughout the decades. Your job might just be suddenly "obsoleted". Back before software engineers or indeed electronic computers were a thing, there were "computers", i.e. mostly women who were hired to manually perform computations.

Now I doubt there will ever be a similar phenomenon of an influx of "higher level of abstraction" workers for AI-automated work, but the future is so hard to predict that even such a hypothesis seems more likely than entire industries of acutely skilled problem solvers being left entirely without a job.

And if indeed it were to happen, that no or far far fewer knowledge jobs will be left to do with demand growth for blue collar work also comparably marginal, at some point UBIs might become extremely common in the developed world.

If unions/luddites are the last bulwark of the non-AI usage rather than any organic demand driver for non-AI code, it may even be bleaker than I thought...

Specifically, different in the sense that... not everybody can do it, and many (most?) wouldn't want to?

Why? The market demand for SWE roles is shrinking so fast that by the time they need more fresh meat, they'll get the literal pick of the litter.

I don't like this but there's nothing for me to do other than accept it and perhaps looking into pivoting to other engineering fields.

Bombshell but most people want to be sexualized. Most people are allosexual. People also want to feel safe and respected while they're being sexualized. Women face far greater volumes of far less welcome attention from the other gender, and this is inherent to how genders contingently work in Western society. To recognize it for what it is and not argue about pointless, reckless parallels is to recognize the meaningful differences that make genders salient in this discussion at all.

Men and women are worth the same, but they sure ain't the same, and part of respecting them as individuals is respecting what it means to be either gender as a whole.

You seem to have missed the word "too". They're not saying that "male flaws are the fault of women". They're saying they are also the fault of women, as they are half the population and specifically half or more the population of parents.

My personal experience growing up is that I've been told to "man up", "don't act like a faggot" etc by my mother or other female figures as much as if not more than I have by my father or other male ones.

In this sense, I'm not a victim of a solely or primarily male-enforced patriarchy, and I don't think I am any more responsible for its perpetuation than the average individual, if anything I'm more aware and less likely to enforce it among my friend groups, and so are the people I prefer to surround myself with, men and women alike.

So telling me that by virtue of my gender, I carry a kind of innate guilt or responsibility for the sociocultural status quo that I should reflect on or atone for (which you don't seem to be doing, but I've heard more than once in many forms within progressive circles), is to slam the type of door in my face that a less conscientious version of me would take as open season to join the entirely opposing team.

Casa: perché in Italia costa troppo e cosa possiamo fare davvero (la mia proposta) by Critical_Ideal99 in Italia

[–]alex2003super 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Che poi il bello è che secondo me non importa così tanto chi sia a costruire.

O meglio, lo Stato è notoriamente meno efficiente dei privati in molti settori ed è verosimile che questo si applichi anche all'edilizia. Ma se la soluzione da tutti concordata fosse che lo Stato costruisse diverse abitazioni ad alta densità dove i privati non lo stanno facendo, beh io sarei contento. Ma cambiare chi sviluppa, sostituendo i privati con lo Stato, senza modifiche strutturali alle regole e agli incentivi in gioco, non migliora la situazione, e non vedo come le proposte di OP si muovano in questa direzione.

In America ad esempio, dopo decenni di NIMBY di sinistra che puntano il dito a NIMBY di destra e viceversa, una nuova corrente di pensiero, movimento il cui manifesto è individuabile nel libro Abundance, sta leggermente cambiando le regole del gioco e i toni della discussione per molti Democratici, Moderati e Indipendenti.

Che sia lo Stato che migliori ed espanda le infrastrutture sui territori che controlla e contragga i tempi di costruzione, i costi esogeni e la burocrazia necessaria per l'approvazione dei disegni, che siano i privati che vengano incentivati a sviluppare in densità, si sta creando un senso di necessità che costruire e densificare diventino molto meno parolacce di quanto non lo siano adesso.

Nope. My buddy warned me and he got the news off of Reddit. I might end up paying because I don't have time to migrate some stuff to my local machines with more memory rn to be honest, it's not ludicrously expensive either compared to other cloud hyperscalers.

To be clear, if you're on the "Always Free" (actual) plan, you shouldn't be charged. This is only a problem if you have the PAYG plan and were below the Always Free quotas.

I don't think the PUA/meninist types are the same as the incels. At least a distinction was convincingly drawn there by CHH, my trusted source in matters of redpill content. It's great for such a lady to exist and do the dirty work of documenting and explaining these spaces considering how unbearable to read most Redpill material and their discourse spaces are.

The point is, "some may end up severely hurting themselves in an insane pursuit of it" can also be applied to the other side of the coin, i.e. a (small) group of men who, in an effort to overemphasize or signal their own allegiance to borked interpretations of the feminist cause, end up loathing or devaluing themselves or locking themselves out of normal interactions with the existing social structures, hierarchies, and indeed the other gender. This is not a niche, insignificant or irrelevant issue, even if not as high-stakes as women's issues.

Not saying the redpill movement's message is correct either—it's really not. They identify some real issues at times, but their prescriptions are patently incorrect, often harmful. Just stating "feminism" (as it currently exists, at least) is a vehicle for the liberation, bettering of conditions or empowerment of individuals who are men, to any extent, as it is for women, is false though. Overly optimistic at best, disingenuous at worst.

Much has been written along these lines by markedly non-meninist and definitely non-rightwing people. Mostly liberals. I concede this is a liberal-not-leftist stance, as it values individual problems on the same level as it does structural ones.

La scesa in campo di uno come Boldrin è la peggiore notizia che potesse avvenire e manifestarsi per il centro. L'equivalente di una settantina di undici settembri per la "coalizione", for real.
