Whoa! I've been so annoyed by this for years, so interesting that you figured it out. It's the kind of inelegance in design that would have had Steve Jobs yelling at everyone to fix, just ruins immersion in music and had no obvious way to fix.

That sounds like an app issue, it might be doing non-realtime-safe operations on a realtime thread. But generally speaking, if you have an issue, use feedback assistant.

It happens in Safari and Music.app. I find that Airpods exacerbate the issue too.

Well, no. It codified roughly what the public thought was appropriate at the time - the stable achievable policy equilibrium. And in the past 50 years, public sentiment has remained mostly unchanged; it's just trended a tiny bit towards more permissiveness around abortion.

See the graph displaying Gallup's public polling results here: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/how-has-public-opinion-a....

> Two years after the court’s decision, 54 percent of U.S. adults said they supported abortion under certain circumstances and another 21 percent said abortion always should be legal, according to Gallup polling from 1975, while 22 percent of Americans said it should be illegal.

> By 2018, Gallup pollsters found little change [...]


Yeah - in the past two weeks, shipping to a major metro area, not one, not two, but three orders ended up "Running Late". One of the items was a $180 AirPods Pro, which I ended up never receiving and getting a refund for. The other two are several days beyond the estimate. This is totally new - I've only had this happen once before, and it makes me wonder whether there's been a rapid rise in Amazon supply chain theft going on.

(Grabbed the AirPods for the same price from Costco while Amazon figures out what on earth is going on...)


There's a "progressive web app" - if you're in Chrome on chat.google.com, there's a new icon on the right hand side of the URL bar which permits you to download it. Not discoverable at all - this was mentioned in the help pages [https://support.google.com/chat/answer/9455386]


What kinds of technical skills do you see as particularly specialized/uncommon and necessary for high-performance data infrastructure work? Curious for some detail there


Naive question: Are you able to use MKL on an AMD chip without jumping through too many hoops?


Yes, just pip install ..., but it's 2x slower than on Intel for Zen/Zen+. Only Zen 2 is close to Intel.


Intel makes rather pessimistic assumptions about AMD and uses the model name to pick which code path to use and ignores the CPU flags for floating point, etc.

So if you want to compare performance fairly I'd use gcc (or at least a non-intel compiler) and one of the MKL like libraries (ACML, gotoblas, openblas, etc). AMD has been directly contributing to various projects to optimize for AMD CPUs. They used to have their own compiler (that went from SGI -> cray -> pathscale or similar), but since then I believe have been contributing to GCC, LLVM, and various libraries.


Yeah, still, Zen 2 is much faster in OpenBLAS and is faster in MKL than Zen/+ as well.


Also - his recent book "Click Here to Kill Everybody" discusses the problem of IoT security in depth (ie. that the lack of it will risk increasingly dire consequences). One of his solutions is regulatory: a new federal agency for consumer cybersecurity. One of the particular things he would want mandated is that IoT devices be patchable, at a minimum.
