...which is exactly what the featured article is about. But 2032 > 2027, so I have to assume the person you replied to already knew that and was providing additional advice.
The GamersNexus documentary (https://youtu.be/1H3xQaf7BFI) on the semi-underground GPU trade in China, while a little amateurish in terms of depth and general atmosphere, is an interesting watch and may answer some of your questions.
Basically, those export controls make GPUs more expensive for affected parties in China, but don't effectively stop them from being acquired or used over there.
> Your apps are now available via focused waffle menu for centralized access to all your apps. It reduces distraction and uses the interface space efficiently as your your library grows.
"your your" typo aside, I remember when Nextcloud moved from a drop-down menu for the apps to listing them all out separately on the header bar, to make them more visible and reduce the clicks to switch apps. I guess they've changed their minds again; I look forward to when they change them back.
Of course, "If you want to have children, you can find a way to afford them." is a very nuanced statement for you to have made.
4 kids on a lower-middle-class income in the US makes me picture poverty, as someone on a lower-middle-class income whose girlfriend is legally in poverty (and with that being the primary reason we haven't gotten married and had kids yet). If you disagree, feel free to describe your circumstances in more nuanced detail. I wonder if it will really end up being a description of lower-middle-class.
Sounds more like it's a matter of attitudes about personal economics than attitudes about having children. If you want to wallow in poverty (and don't mind if your children do as well), then of course you can "find a way."
Use cases besides software development exist. Even relatively simple video editing can easily run past 16GB, and so can photo editing if you're working with more than a few high-resolution images at once. On the consumer side, YouTube in any Chromium-based browser with an ad blocker runs its memory usage up to 5GB+ if the tab's open too long. Add a couple of these use cases together, and you just need more RAM.
You quoted the very first sentence. They acknowledged your point later:
> Sure, I could switch to a different mail client and never see any of these language model features, but my experience these past months has left such a bad taste that all I’m looking for now is a clean break.
The brand/trust is ruined for OP even if there are workarounds to not directly see what Google's doing anymore.
Heck, I order pizzas online regularly (one of the only types of account I haven't migrated off to other email addresses, because it's not very important), and my ASAP pick-up orders usually get an "Arriving tomorrow" banner in the Gmail interface.
> Consumption has risen, inflation adjusted wages have risen for blue collar and white collar alike.
My wages haven't risen for nearly 5 years, while inflation has occurred over the past 5 years. Why the blanket statements?
> The main thing holding people back is the housing crisis. This is orthogonal to the value creation of businesses.
Are you suggesting a "housing crisis," in your words, wouldn't impact consumption? I'm watching my spending (and living like a child in his parent's house, except it's not my parent and I have to pay for it) in the hopes that in about a decade, I'll have saved up enough of a down payment for a home somewhere in my state that I could actually afford the mortgage on the remaining amount. There are plenty of things I'd potentially spend money on but won't as long as I feel like I'm economically stuck and have a chance in hell of saving my way out of it. So this feeling translates to fact.
If you think my personal experience is just an anecdote and doesn't count because it's not being told through the lens of large-scale numbers, fine. But I really agree with the person you replied to that you're gonna have to be a whole lot more specific than "value creation" if you want people to spend money on your AI products "in this economy," whether it's because they're actually strapped for cash or just pretending like you seem to think they are.
I've had several usernames/emails more similar to the `last[:5]initials#` example at universities and large companies. It's more secure (harder to guess based on the name alone), more private (harder for outsiders to tie back to a person from email alone), and reduces or removes the possibility of duplication (especially important for schools that let alumni keep their emails). It actually surprised me when a school gave me first.last once.
> Indian tribal casinos are only legal because they are in a separate country as far as the state is concerned. (they don't bother, but each reservation has a good case to join the UN if they wanted to)
A case for it, maybe, but I think the way you've worded this is a bit of an exaggeration. As you said, they're separate as far as the state is concerned, in some respects (even that's somewhat case-by-case and debatable). Comparatively, it's much more generally recognized that federal law does apply to tribes. The US calls tribes "domestic dependent nations," which is short of independent sovereignty, and the UN would generally only admit members who are recognized as independent and sovereign. Native American tribes are "separate countries" like states are separate countries-- in principle, kind of, but in practice, not really anymore. Individual states can work with UN bodies on projects (like California recently joining the UN health network), but they can't be admitted as members.
All of that said, gambling is, of course, a very well-known thing that's allowed to happen on tribal lands.
They're asking the nature of the third party's discovery/publishing. Someone on the inside who decided to leak it anonymously? Someone else who was able to access some private communication they shouldn't have been able to see? Or a third party who happened to discover the same vulnerability (which seems less unlikely than normal since this is so similar to Copy Fail), but didn't follow disclosure procedures?
I really liked the G2 as well. It was the first phone (at least that I saw) to put the power and volume buttons on the back of the phone, where a ton of later phones would eventually start putting the fingerprint sensor.
I replaced LG's ROM with CyanogenMod back in the day, and it was such a smooth experience. The main reason I moved on from it was because I cracked the screen and the replacement screen I got (installed by a local repair shop) had a touch sensitivity issue along the top edge.
Also, Microsoft has attempted to reign in and standardize app developers on numerous occasions over the past couple of decades, and their failure to do so doesn't impact my statement regarding the direction of app development in general (or the weaknesses of people doing whatever they want on Windows).
The person you replied to said mostly-obsolete. They were speaking in the same context as the earlier commenter claiming it's a normal practice because everyone used to have to update their hosts files all the time before DNS existed at all.
Your shadow IT example is perfectly valid, and also isn't a 1:1 comparison with a company doing it automatically for a much larger number of external users.
> Cannot any website use the same trick Adobe does to check whether you have Creative Cloud installed?
That is specifically what I was talking about.
> (Because it seems Adobe's server serving the analytics image checks the request origin and only serves the image if the origin is Adobe's own website.)
It's additional complexity on the server side, per a Reddit comment on the topic: https://old.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/1sb6hzk/adobe_wrote... The example curl commands given seemed convincing to me, although they also demonstrate that you can fake the origin pretty easily on the client side.
> 3. After the change, any external caller can dial a certain sequence to get a message of "Yes, this office was serviced by Adobe Janitorial!"
Theoretically, it's not "any external caller." Only the janitor's department calling in can dial that sequence and get "Yes, you serviced this office!" If anyone else tries to dial the extension, the desk-phone pretends it doesn't know what it means. (Because it seems Adobe's server serving the analytics image checks the request origin and only serves the image if the origin is Adobe's own website.)
The origin "security" doesn't excuse the complexity and the potential for both exploits and human-error breakage in the future.
