Preach!

To be actually fair, Mac Preferences has worked fine for decades.

Control panel has sucked since windows 2.0

The software has languished severely. It's been incredibly downhill since Snow Leopard (2009).

None of those things have a material effect on anyone by JP Morgan.

The “service” Carta is selling here is your company to other people.

Given 99% of private companies have specific limitations on not being able to do this with a company’s securities, this almost certainly runs afoul of SEC, FINRA, and other fraud regulations.

From this data it seems the Year of the Unix desktop is 2023 with macOS at 21.38%...

I mean sure. But Gisele's ads were specifically calling her an "ESG Advisor" to FTX.

If you're going to tell me you're any kind of "governance" advisor to a company that defrauded people to the tune of billions, I am not going to pretend you are somehow not partially liable.

Otellini is far more responsible for the colossal screw up in culture and products at Intel than anyone else.

Other than multiple times doing things largely considered impossible as a tech entrepreneur?

There’s literally no one who has done more for decarbonization and reliance on fossil fuels in the world.

God I wish he’d shut up and get off twitter.

You don't seem to understand the basic concepts of free speech, securities laws, or what Elon Musk is actually doing. Your question is irrelevant. Accusing me of being intentionally stupid isn't helping your argument.

We have a free market, multiple social platforms exist. Ones that moderate certain content lose certain users. You can chose what level of moderation you want as a customer and platforms can choose what level of moderation they want a business. Moderation technology as a service exists already.

Elon is trying to short-circuit the basic principles of free speech because he lied in a way c-suite executives and directors are not legally allowed to lie as it runs afoul of anti-fraud laws. You may not yell fire in a crowded theatre and you may not use free speech to commit fraud or when you are subject to disclosure laws you may not use free speech as a defense for breaking them.

When you are a corporate officer or director of publicly traded company you agree to following securities laws, specifically not making false statements that may impact stock prices.

Elon's antics got him a twitter-sitter and now he wants to own twitter in some sort of byzantine strategy to get around rules he agreed to (and their consequences necessitating a twitter-sitter) and have helped make him incredibly wealthy.

His arguments about open-sourcing algorithms and protecting free speech are not the actual reasons for his bid to take over twitter, he has simply amassed enough money to try to own a media outlet for the influence he could wield with it. He probably also thinks he can skirt SEC/Judicial rulings about his behavior on twitter if he owns it outright. At Elon's level of wealth, the only thing left to buy is more influence.

It’s not a government-run system, so it’s irrelevant.

A guy who got a court-ordered twitter-sitter should probably not be in charge of Twitter as he doesn’t seem to understand what protected speech is.

You don’t get to say whatever you want as the CEO of a publicly traded company without consequences — especially as it relates to stock prices and shareholder information.

You don’t get to argue that a company is infringing on your right to free speech — that’s not how free speech works.

As a long-time Musk fan, I find this unhealthy obsession with Twitter to really be the final straw. The man is unhinged and may be completely undermining all the good SpaceX and Tesla are capable of.

It would be so nice if Apple reverted whatever regression they introduced in their Bluetooth stack 2 OS releases ago.

My AirPods don’t connect correctly about 20% of the time (at minimum) and switch connections for absolutely no reason to my Mac or iPhone despite those devices having no audio activity (in the middle of an active audio call on the active device, no less).

I turn off Bluetooth on the device I’m not using when I need to do a work call as a precaution.

Every headset I had before AirPods worked better than this.

You’re an engineer. And engineering programs will continue to use engineering focused tools. The goals of engineering program projects are vastly different than other areas of academia. Developing the tool is the project for engineering.

Bioscience / environmental science programs will find micropython good enough for their needs. The tool itself is just the means to the end if real science. Micropython let’s you deploy in lower power applications without having to learn much beyond what you already know from Jupyter notebooks.

I really don’t know any PhD students or post-docs in microbiology/environmental sciences who have the time to learn embedded C or similar languages.

A lot of the sub 50 GFLOP stuff were low-end Laptop chips with regular M-suffixes.

These are mobile Ivybridge chips, they were not snappy, and as late as 2013 release dates for sub 50 GFLOPs.

Literally can't add anything to this.

You nailed it.

I suspect MicroPython is going to do the same thing to Arduino/C as Python just did here in Academia as well.

Energy per transaction is the fundamental metric of efficiency in market systems.

Literally every single product and service boils down an exchange of currency for some embodied (goods, services) or pure energy (electricity).

Banking services are an exchange of currency for the energy embodied in protecting the accounting system and providing secure access to money.

Crypto mining uses several orders of magnitude more energy per serviced individual than the entirety of the global banking system combined.
