Growth is awesome. We're incredibly fortunate to live in this high growth era!

What Apple may be guilty of here is focusing on short term growth at the expense of the long term. If you make an extra buck today, at the expense of losing user loyalty, that's not what any shareholder wants.

This could be a case of short term growth being rewarded inside the company. It could also be any number of other reasons.

I disagree, consider someone who is rich enough to afford a heroin addiction without ending up dead, in jail or institutionalized. They may never have a rock bottom that makes them question their use and try to stop. Their quality of life might drop, they may lose friends, family, business, etc, but they are insulated from the kinds of real pressures that force people without means to stop.

I would not say that person does not have an addiction. They are just as much of an addict as the person who shoots heroin and can't stop despite being broke, arrested for stealing, etc.

Addiction and mental illness tend to be defined by their impacts on people's quality of life and impact on functioning, whether that is just functioning basically, maintaining long-term healthy relationships or just being happy without substances.

Stop spreading misinformation.

> You still need a stateful server to assign IPv6 addresses for most use cases, through DHCPv6. SLAAC doesn't even give you a DNS server yet.

DNS now comes in Router Advertisement per RFC 8106. No need for DHCPv6 anymore.

> And even if it did, many ISPs assign too small address spaces for SLAAC, or your networks isn't so simple that you can just auto-negotiate some address.

Most residential ISPs allocate in /48, /52, /56, or /60. Even if they allocate in the smallest /64, it's still perfectly fine for SLAAC for most home users utilizing a single subnet.

I can't comment on specific actions, but it would definitely mean the destruction of hamas and islamic jihad as well as systematically removing all weapons from the gaza strip and the destruction of all tunnels and terror infrastructure. If they surrender the process can happen without loss of life (even the death of all militants can be avoided with a negotiated surrender)

Gaza was a pretty enormous threat, so neutralising it takes an enormous amount of effort. If you cared about the death and destruction of gaza you would be calling for the end of Hamas. It's not like Israel wants to be stuck in an endless conflict in Gaza i think it has shown many times in the recent past that it is prefers peace to war.

The word surrender is carrying quite a lot of meaning but it's still good faith on my part.
NeuroShellOS: A Concept for AI-Native Linux with Deep LLM Integration
by hejhdiss | 2025-06-29 17:15:17+00:00
: NeuroShellOS is a conceptual design for a Linux OS that integrates AI directly into system architecture, rather than as an external app. It focuses on user sovereignty, context-aware assistance, and transparent AI operations.

Not sure how you don't see the difference between an LLM f'ing up how a single piece moves vs forgetting to hit the clock, accidentally touching two pieces or forgetting to call check. At least we agree and recognize that a mouse slip as different. Seems like some serious apologizing/rationalizing for LLMs on the other "moves". Anyway, have a good day, buddy.

> I’d want more control over what’s remembered and when. Curious if anyone here has used this yet

I use the "memory" feature of ChatGPT, and taking a look right now, it seems to have about ~30 items saved from me, some of them are like "Is using egui for a UI task, particularly related to configuring smooth automatic scrolling in a scrollarea." which is useful for maybe the ~3 chats I had about it, and also other things like "Prefers more accuracy in terminology and is looking to represent LLMs in a detailed and structured way." that are more broadly applicable.

Then you can obviously remove any of them, and also manually add by telling it explicitly you want something added.

I'm not sure of its usefulness, I guess it's nice that it correctly "knows" I'm mostly on Arch Linux most of the time but have my servers with NixOS, so if I ask it to create new unix commands I usually get something that works on both, or two versions. But sometimes it also incorrectly infers something because I didn't specify otherwise in the prompt and didn't think of it, but it could see something from the memories.

I am confused whether the point being made is

(a) that no human being can multiply two random five digit integers without a calculator, or;

(b) that no human being can do it in our heads because we need external working storage such as paper, or;

(c) that the post is satire.

The comment above embodies everything we need be aware of, and fight against.

10% something factual, 90% repetition of provably disconnected from reality, yet appealing sounding soundbites/memes sent from on high. Zero policy recommendations, one-hundred percent vibes.

And since the facts are lacking in the argument, the ad hominem style attack is included for good measure.

I’ve been building this in my spare time over the past few days. mod_muse-ai is an Apache module written in C that lets you serve HTML pages generated by an AI model (local or remote). It reads `.ai` files, merges in a system prompt and a layout prompt, and sends the request to either a local Ollama instance or any OpenAI API-compatible endpoint (like LM Studio, Mistral, etc.), then streams the HTML response back to the browser.

The goal is to eliminate the need for a separate backend for AI-generated content. All feedback welcome—especially on the architecture and config design.

UBI seems inevitable with the progress of AI and automation -- but transitioning to it will need a catalyst to break through the wall of resistance to make that happen. Covid was such a catalyst, and at least in the US it was so poorly managed on the distribution of funds it did not help shift the mindset to support UBI.

That's a pity, because it could have done so brilliantly. The catch is that we need a government that is not corrupt and incompetent to administer that process and that's exactly what was in charge at the time.

So while it can't happen now it would be worth exploring what that tipping point might be and how to make sure it serves the people its supposed to.

> destructive of the shared pool of trust

Will there actually be any short, mediumm, or long term consequences for Apple? What real, tangible trust has Apple lost that could lead to meaningful harm to them?

The only thing I can come up with is people who hold Apple to some kind of high-minded ideal, that they constantly run foul of for other reasons already.

FWIW, Grok answers this when asked "what do you know about me?" (I do have an account):

I don’t have any personal information about you, as I don’t have access to user data unless it’s explicitly shared in the conversation. If you’ve posted publicly on X, I could potentially look up your profile or posts to learn more, but I’d need your X handle to do that. Alternatively, if you want to share something about yourself—like your interests, location, or what you’re curious about—I can tailor my responses based on that. What would you like me to know or explore about you?

"Integrous" is a rarely used adjective meaning "having or characterized by integrity". It's derived from the Latin word "integer," meaning whole or complete, and the suffix "-ous" indicating fullness or possession. While technically correct, it's more common to use synonyms like "honest," "decent," or "virtuous" to convey the concept of integrity.

Now, take a guess where this comes from..
by dreamcompiler | 2025-06-29 17:22:07+00:00
Precisely this. There needs to be an API that all apps have to use not only for notifications but also for getting your contacts, your phone's location, etc. that is spoofable by the user. Or better yet, an AI program that runs entirely on the phone and does the spoofing automatically and entirely on behalf of the user.

Let the enshittified apps' ads interact with your AI agent and steal your fake "data" in the background without bothering the user.

Also important: It must be IMPOSSIBLE for any app to detect that its requests are being intercepted by your agent. (If they can tell, they'll refuse to work until you give them direct access.)

This is a real killer app for AI but you'll never get VC funding to build it.

I just wrote a reply to a comment talking about the AI tells this writing has, but it got flagged so my comment disappeared when I hit post. I'll rephrase out of spite:

My first thought upon reading this was that an LLM had been instructed to add a pithy meme joke to each paragraph. They don't make sense in context, and while some terminally online people do speak in memes, those people aren't quoting doge in 2025.

There's also a sense of incoherence in the whole piece. For instance, this section:

"- after: 22 million videos + 1 million images (now we're talking)

they basically hoovered up everything: something-something v2, kinetics, howto100m, and a billion youtube videos"

Was it a billion vids or 22m? It turns out the latter sentence is just rephrasing the list of sources in a cool casual way, and the last one is called YT-Temporal-1B. That's a billion frames of video, not a billion videos.

How about offering cheaper healthcare, cheaper child care, sensible maternity/paternity leave/benefits, not tying healthcare to jobs, providing better work life balance, better wages... and on and on?

Babies are not like buying clothing, that you try it on for a few days and return if you don't like. Primary reason most people don't have more kids is the economic stress and affordability. Of course there are people who genuinely do not want children, no matter how much they earn. Those are the minority though.

And yes, not all countries face all problems listed above, it is just a collection of problems that countries face at different levels. But in general, social safety nets are disappearing everywhere. We can't expect responsible people to have more kids in this situation. Of course irresponsible/gullible people will still have kids even if they can't afford, which will only add to the problems

> A lot simpler to run pokemon than test an app

Yes and no, I'd say. On one hand, apps tend to be used by even the most dumb person (they are "users" after all ;) ) and I'm sure there are more people out there who can use most apps enough than people who can beat Pokemon, even if one might generally be easier than the other.

It's kind of hard to judge though I guess, I played Pokemon (Red) last time when it launched in my country and I was like 8 or something, maybe I underestimate the average person but I feel like I overestimate people generally.

Most databases aren't running a business. It isn't 01973 anymore. My web browser on my phone has a bunch of SQL databases.

I was talking about horizontal scalability, not failover. You don't need horizontal scalability, or for that matter any special software features, for failover. (Though PITR is nice, especially if your database is running a business.) With cloud computing vendors, you may not even need a second server to fail over to; you can bring it up when the failure happens and pay for it by the hour.

The features you're talking about made a lot of sense 30 years ago, maybe even 20 years ago. They still make a lot of sense if you need to handle hundreds of millions of queries per second or if you have hundreds of terabytes of data. But, for everything else, you can get by with vertical scaling, which is a lot less work. Unlike backups or rearchitecting your database, it's literally a product you can just buy.

(A lot of the open-source relational databases I listed also support clustering for both HA and scalability; I just think those features are a lot less important when you can buy an off-the-shelf server with tebibytes of RAM.)

You’d think he would have learned after that U2 album disaster 11 years ago, clearly not. He’s been doing this kind of stuff since he took over.

It seemed like Jobs used the products and was trying to make stuff that he would want to use. Cook seems like he doesn’t use any of these products, and is willing to sacrifice the user experience to try and make a few extra bucks.

It seems time for some new blood leading Apple. A product person who can get the company back to the core of trying to make insanely great products that people want to use, without compromise.

This is why i have ALL notifications disabled, no matter the app. Companies, including apple, cannot help themselves but abuse it. Which is insane because it's a useful part of the phone functionality that I have to entirely disable because of greedy disrespectful companies. And there are no controls given to put us back in control.

Apple has lost their taste and lost their respect for users.

People who reject in-group socio-economic norms and isolate themselves from their previous in-group may or may not be mentally ill. If they were in one of those cults that programs their members behaviors incessantly, then it's entirely plausible that they became sane and escaped from a community of insane people.

For example, I've met several people who reported the set of symptoms and behaviors you describe - but in their case, 'the game' involved the fact they came from a wealthy extended family whose entire existence revolved around hanging onto their pool of capital and ensuring some rogue family member didn't gain control of the capital, which funded all their connected lives (including this guy, who was able to travel the country and go to music shows solely because of his family-linked trust fund). The game they all played was keeping the family members that controlled the capital happy, rather than going out into the world and finding jobs, making their own money, and being self-sufficient.

There's just not enough information in your post to evaluate whether the example was escaping from a cult or being indoctrinated into another cult, who is sane and who is crazy, etc.

I don't think you have it right here.

Was this a targeted ad? Apple doesn't openly attack Ads - they are actively hostile to privacy invasive technology, which I don't think this runs foul of.

The problem isn't that Apple has ads, it's that Apple pushed an ad through Wallet. And in the Settings app. And in all the other untasteful places they spam with these ads.

IIRC slices aren't updated atomically in Go so you can get data races on their components, resulting in potential UB.

For what it's worth, from what I've read on here (e.g., [0]) this has yet to be exploited in a non-demonstration setting, but who knows if/when the first such exploit will appear.

Well, I do mean in the context of the article. I'm not suggesting no one ever played in an orchestra. I'm saying that are vanishingly few middle class touring and recording rock, hip hop, pop and country artists and this has largely always been the case. In this domain you either hit it out of the park or go on to do something else.

I don't really know what the table of Berklee grads is pointing toward. Are you suggesting that this says it is now harder to become a middle class recording / touring artist today than it was in the past? If so, how?

Is that lack of competence, or lack of motive? Is it a problem from their point of view.

Apple's main user base is not like HN users - not even like the Apple users/advocates here. I have come across many who are too deeply convinced that Apple is hugely ahead of other OSes (often because they assume other OSes capabilities are what they were years ago), and they do not want to adjust to anything that is different from what they are familiar with. They will stay will Apple almost whatever Apple do. Some examples of things Apple users I know have said were advantages of their products:

1. I can copy and paste between my phone and my desktop!

2. There is a terminal app that is so amazing you will want to buy a Mac just to use it. It was roughly similar to terminal apps I have used over many years.

3. If you buy a ticket on your laptop instead of your phone you will have to bring your laptop out to scan at the gate. When I explained my phone syncs selected folders with my laptop the reply was "that is so complicated".

Only the first comment came from a person who is not comfortable with technology - obviously in the case of the second comment!

If I did understand your point then Octelium actually tries to do what you want to see, at least to a certain extent via managed containers. For example, Octelium can deploy, scale and manage your containerized applications (e.g. web apps, APIs, databases or even PiHole DNS servers) and automatically serve and protect them as Octelium Services. Once you're done with the Service with whatever reason, all the underlying managed container infrastructe is automatically cleaned up. You can see some examples from the docs here:

Every network is different (though common themes exist).

Firstly yes, they’re probably there and not revealing themselves (which is most typical.) They will either reveal themselves for some purpose or not at all (I had caused a stir, and a “hooligan army” went ahead and “recruited” me.)

Well after full immersion I looked back through my life and saw I was not really alone. Little things, some hypnogogia here and there, odd games they play, and other nonsense suppressed or blown off. Most are never aware or comprehend any of it. Those that do, what would they say to you? Look at these responses. And I know what is going on. Most others are desperate.

The noisy networks are usually those of prisons. You will hear very similar accounts among many who have done small stints. Enough for a network to take an interest, not long enough to be coerced into eternal silence. I have never been to prison though you can guess what city I’m from if I say “the most controversial prison system in America up to a decade ago.”

Prisons full of slave (coerced) networks is no doubt how the humanity level horrors began. The streets (and all humanity) are saturated with these various networks. Plenty of accounts by others throughout time, you have ignored them. The prisons and the black ops military power cults are the worst. Don’t worry, those are busy in Ukraine and Gaza. What do you think these would do for fun?

Power extorts ordinary power infrastructures of humanity. No one is going to talk about it.

There is a “you don’t talk about it” element. I don’t care. You cannot make me care. I so don’t care I take pains to be a contrarian. I make people f-off. I do not capitulate. It doesn’t make me “special”, I’m of the few who talk about it, even if it does no good. Let it then be for an account. To remain silent in the face of a tyranny of evil is to be complicit. Complicity be damned. These want to play God among you, and they extort each other for this ends.

And I suppose I should risk a flaggable wall of text to say there are “families” who have protected and guided us throughout our generations. Like all of modernity these are falling apart and cannot compete with the devastating industrialized efficiency of prison networks.

It's rampant unregulated capitalism that feeds the whole lifecycle:

- company started in garage

- makes first sales

- gets popular

- gets investors

- becomes huge, changing the world of computing

- enshittifies

- gets replaced by the next company that was started in a garage somewhere

A good system is not one that preserves Apple or IBM or Xerox.

A good system is one that allows these companies to come and go, because in the end we want the consumer to keep winning.

Apple enshittifying is bad for everyone in the short term, but it opens the door for whatever comes next.

If that's the way you put it, I can say the exact same for your comments. Your pervasive attitude against open discourse, advocating only for "fight against" without having a discussion, is what leads to the animosity of people making them vote right. People are tired of not having a voice and just being censored by liberal keyboard warriors who think they're protecting democracy by implementing speech censorship laws the Nazis and Soviets would dream of, but of course in the name of good.

My argument, if you cared to read it, were that EU voters care more about having a well paying job and affording rent than what hand gestures a billionaire does in his own country outside the EU. If you think Elon is bad, you have no idea on what other wealthy and powerful people are like.

What arguments did you bring other than advocating towards violence because you didn't like my PoV?

This is exactly the part I got hung up on, too.

The exact reasons aren’t important for this blog post, but neither the reference implementation [...] nor the other open source Go Lua intepreters I could find were a good fit for my needs.

I'm intrigued because presumably the shortcomings of the other implementations are important to how they chose to implement Lua here.

I love art and I also love making art, but I have to work so I don’t get to spend as much time on it as I’d like.

Yet that doesn’t mean I want to see other people making less art. On the contrary: I wish other people could create more great stuff that makes me happy, and I’m also happy if my tax euros (and my private consumption) help pay for that.

What I’m trying to say is that this idea of “I don’t get to do it, so nobody else should either” seems completely foreign to creativity. It’s not a zero-sum game.
