We are all starting to better understand the ethos of their engineering teams more generally.

They have tons of computer vision, NN inference and natural language processing in their products. It's reductive to say Apple products don't have much AI.

Also: Do yourself a favor and (dont? er do?) read/listen to his brother's books! Particularly The Phoney Victory. He writes polemics as good as Christopher. Truly a yin to the yang. I like the way they argue, although I don't necessarily agree with everything they argue.

Yes, but on my napkin, all of this will create significantly more power which more than offsets those costs.

Back in 2020 I once accidentally kept my personal k8s api open and got hit by a drive-by k8s-in-k8s bitcoin miner attack, it deployed an operator and it failed to run correctly but it created a ton of pods in my default namespace.

> Shareholder primacy was famously established in the decision of Dodge v. Ford Motor Co. in 1919. In Dodge v. Ford Motor Co.'s court opinion, it stated that "there should be no confusion" that "a business corporation is organized and carried on primarily for the profit of the stockholders." Because of this opinion, a precedent was set that managers had to maximize shareholder profit.

I want to join Palantir just to disrupt their business because Peter Thiel is a scum sucker and deserves the absolute worst workforce. Palantir should be liquidated and the proceeds returned to tax payers.

It's actually not better than Blizzard or EA's client at this point. I will agree it is better than Epic and Bethesda launchers.

Valve figured out how to print money by hooking teenagers with gambling on loot boxes. They stopped having to create AAA titles, they stopped having to do anything remotely creative, and now they are a giant cancer with no value left to add. Their client is an insecure, slow, instable piece of shit and has been this way for well over a decade. I regret being a customer of theirs.

If only we had thousands of bodies donated to educational institutions for decades with the capability to reproduce these works in better fidelity with modern technology. Oh well, I guess we will just rely on this Nazi book instead.

First off, Louis Rossman has made his fair share of stupid mistakes on camera and I am sure he's had his own work returned to his shop in the past. It is important to note is that he is cherry picking the worst cases of incompetence from across the country since he has many fans willing to send their Macs to him. Apple's Genius Bar services over 18 million users per year. There are bound to be some stinkers. https://www.cultofmac.com/185762/did-you-know-apples-genius-...

Why in the hell would you want vector graphics in GIF ever?

Is it a photograph? No

Is it vector? Yes

For a Website? No

Does it have a gradient? No

Gif

Wat? Once you get to "Is it vector?" it should just point to SVG
