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.


What is a Nor'easter?


> What is a Nor'easter?

Literally: a cold hurricane.

Some people misuse the term to mean "a blizzard affecting New England and/or the Northeast", but it actually specifically refers to a storm that's been pushed inland by sea winds coming from the northeast, off the Atlantic Ocean. That specific pattern results in a particularly cold and brutal storm.

Nor'easters are technically cyclones, just like hurricanes, and the two are very similar in many regards. The difference is that a Nor'easter forms further north, in cold water, and it is actually strengthened by cold air, whereas hurricanes form further south and are diminished in strength as they cool off.

Weather nerds will get very confused by ‘a cold hurricane’ since hurricanes are tropical cyclones and tropical cyclones have a warm core by definition.

…but they’ll be fine with a ‘a big cold cyclone’ I guess ;)

Well, it's literally true: a hurricane is a tropical cyclone, and a nor'easter is an extratropical cyclone. A nor'easter is literally the "cold" counterpart of a hurricane!


So like, the Nor'easter is a cryo-cyclone and the regular hurricanes are pyro-cyclones!


It’s just a hurricane in the winter, no biggie. We would enjoy the snow and check out the surf (from a safe distance). I think you aren’t officially supposed to suggest the latter though.


I throw on a dry suit and go surfing. It's awesome.


I mean, it really isn't a huge deal, but the nor'easter that just came across us here in southern maine left about 350k people without power in a state of 1.6 million people.

That's not nothing.


its a lot of warm moisture that comes up the coast from the southeast and slams into cold air from canada and can drop a lot of snow/wind. It can cause bad storms in the ocean and high seas.




A lot of cold water and maybe snow.


you could just as easily make it pid 1 and call it a day


Well that's not a unikernel though, and is basically what firecracker-containerd does. You still have to traverse the syscall boundary which has a performance hit.


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.


Retiring is almost courageous


Retiring and helping out the next generation of politicians would be the right thing to do.


> 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.

Dodge v Ford Motor Co was a Michigan Supreme Court decision while I quoted SCOTUS. The very article you linked strongly suggests it's not a general law:

> Shareholder primacy is a theory

> The doctrine waned in later years
