This is the sort of thing that apple (used to?) take pride in doing well. e.g. new hires in orientation would be asked if there was anything 'special' about their offer letter and it was a thicker more premium kind of paper. Emphasizing the magical 'feel' that differentiated apple products.
I think apple is a red herring here, it's the amount of legal power granted to the enforcement of money laundering laws and the lack of ability to push back against this
Musk/Jobs archetypes, though unpalatable at a personal level, are valuable in their willingness to burn themselves up to fight the "system" vs bureaucratic types who just fall in line and elevate what is a political issue into a Sacred Value
maybe what has happened is that the team needed some experts to measure improvements and tapped ppl with a career in optimizing for "User Engagement" so the more we fight the keyboard the more they cheer and grow the team
Games around who does the grunt work requiring maintenance of a status hierarchy or a constant inflow of interns do affect quality and time to delivery though.
The current problems are oversupply of who does the creative work as well as no longer requiring interns.
There is both less of a need for new inflow and a problem with existing overproduction.
what are some good alternatives to mac os? there some features like image/text copy-paste being cross device that are insanely useful that make it hard to switch
There are three main choices and they are all compromised in their own way. You just need to figure out what is important to you and what isn't.
What you shouldn't do is take too much notice of posts like these, I've read through the whole thing and haven't had any of the issues mentioned. I've also not seen a mention of the issues I do have. HN has a negative tone, it seems we like to whinge.
The romanization of these names is always confusing b/c stripped of the character and tone it's just gibberish. "Hunyuan" or 混元 in chinese means "Primordial Chaos" or "Original Unity".
This helps as more chinese products and services hit the market and makes it easier to remember. The naming is similar to the popularity of greek mythology in western products. (e.g. all the products named "Apollo")
I think it's particularly egregious that they use such a lossy encoding. I can't read the hanzi, but at least "Hùn yuán" would have been more helpful, or even "Hu4n yua1n" would have enabled me to pronounce it or look it up without having the context to guess which characters it was representing.
Yes, this is very annoying, because how Pinyin works. There were a lot mistakes made when using Pinyin in English content. Pinyin suppose to break at character level, Pinyin = Pin Yin, you can easily write it as Pin-Yin, or Pin Yin, but Pinyin is just wrong.
Hun Yuan is a lot better. I agree, with unicode, we can easily incorporate the tone.
Agreed. We all have a duty to respect languages and their official transcription. Pinyin with tones does not look much different from French with accents. In both cases, most people aren’t likely to pronounce it correctly, though.
The irony is not lost on me that Tencent themselves did that.

Popular? So you’re saying that all the VPs who have come up with the mind bendingly unique and creative name Prometheus didn’t do so out of level 10 vision?
The cost of this increased healing rate would be the tail risk of compounding injury though. It's not something a doctor could recommend even if it were true for everyone consistently.
Even if the outcome distribution is the same for everyone and the expected outcome is better healing, you can increase the risk of much worse outcomes if the distribution has the right shape.
