Americans want looting and authoritarianism, so that’s what they’re getting. There’s no excuses here after a majority of people voted for Trump’s return, with his repeated promises that he wouldn’t be held back this time around.

We got exactly what we voted for — worldwide tariffs, sending the military to round up migrants, a military parade with tanks in DC, antivax boards — all of these things he talked about before election. Everything happening now with the dismantling of science programs and universities is exactly what Americans voted for.

I can see where you're coming from, but I still feel like you might be putting too much trust into how apple splits their revenue in documents as they're provided to the public.

I'm not saying that the numbers are false, but apple can ultimately freely choose how to categorize their revenue itself.

From my point of view, their advertising revenue inherently cannot be split from their app store revenue.

It's akin to me saying "I've only spent $50 on groceries yesterday", but omit that the actual cost was $100 because of added fees and taxes.

It's still technically correct, and a bookkeeper will categorize it as such, but it also incredibly misleading.

I hold that opinion because in the apple ecosystem, the customer journey doesn't end with the advertisement. Every successful capture inevitably ends with more revenue via their 30% cut.

And btw, I'm technically a shareholder too - though only in the low thousands (value, not #), so prolly a lot less then you ( • ‿ • )

It's beating Google Veo 3 in the model arena:

https://artificialanalysis.ai/text-to-video/arena?tab=leader...

They've been running tests for weeks under the covert name "Unicorn" and just renamed the model to Seedance a few days ago.

edit: I'm not sure why I'm being downvoted for this, except perhaps not liking the ByteDance angle.

China produces incredibly good video models and have been in the market lead for at least a year now. All of the top video models, save for Veo 3, are from China.

In fact, the only open source video models of note are all non-American (mostly Chinese, and one Israeli model).

> "there is a feedback loop like this: LLM <--> deterministic agent?"

More or less, though the agent doesn't have to be deterministic. There's a sliding scale of how much determinism you want in the "overseer" part of the system. This is a huge area of active development with not a lot of settled stances.

There's a lot of work being put into making the overseer/agent a LLM also. The neat thing is that it doesn't have to be the same LLM, it can be something fine-tuned to specifically oversee this task. For example, "After code generation and build/test has finished, send the output to CodeReviewerBot. Incorporate its feedback into the next round of code generation." - where CodeReviewerBot is a different probabilistic model trained for the task.

You could even put a human in as part of the agent: "do this stuff, then upload it for review, and continue only after the review has been approved" is a totally reasonable system where (part of) the agent is literal people.

> "And there's a asymmetry in strictness, i.e. LLM --> agent funnels probabilistic output into 1+ structured fields, whereas agent --> LLM can be more freeform (stderr plaintext). Is that right?"

Yes, though some flexibility exists here. If LLM --> deterministic agent, then you'd want to squeeze the output into structured fields. But if the agent is itself probabilistic/a LLM, then you can also just dump unstructured data at it.

It's kind of the wild west right now in this whole area. There's not a lot of common wisdom besides "it works better if I do it this way".

> "1) how does the LLM know where to put output tokens given more than one structured field options?"

Prompt engineering and a bit of praying. The trick is that there are methods for ensuring the LLM doesn't hallucinate things that break the schema (fields that don't exist for example), but output quality within the schema is highly variable!

For example, you can force the LLM to output a schema that references a previous commit ID... but it might hallucinate a non-existent ID. You can make it output a list of desired code reviewers, and it'll respect the format... but hallucinate non-existent reviewers.

Smart prompt engineering can reduce the chances of this kind of undesired behavior, but given that it's a giant ball of probabilities, performance is never truly guaranteed. Remember also that this is a language model - so it's sensitive to the schema itself. Obtuse naming within the schema itself will negatively impact reliability.

This is actually part of the role of the agent. "This code reviewer doesn't exist. Try again. The valid reviewers are: ..." is a big part of why these systems work at all.

> "2) Is this loop effective for projects from scratch? How good is it at proper design (understanding tradeoffs in algorithms, etc)?"

This is where the quality of the initial prompt and the structure of the agent comes into play. I don't have a great answer for here besides that making these agents better at decomposing higher-level tasks (including understanding tradeoffs) is a lot of what's at the bleeding edge.

> Even with a significant amount of time double checking and fixing the metadata, I consider it a good use of time. I was not simply ripping my CDs, I was helping maintain the historical record.

This is the spirit - I've started doing the same for releases that don't appear in MusicBrainz and it feels great knowing that I'm not just doing this for myself.

> graphene is a major player?

No. It is not. Lineage and a lot of others are major players.

They just have different focus. GrapheneOS cares about being secure. Others cares about being, well, custom, and "privacy", "privacy" as in "noooooooooo I don't want to install google stuff jfc", instead of being secure against random threat actors.

> Speaking of DoD, an additional thing to consider is the maintainability of the compiler codebase. Imagine that we swung our magic wand again, and rewrote everything over the night using DoD, SIMD vectorization, hand-rolled assembly, etc. It would (possibly) be way faster, yay! However, we do not only care about immediate performance, but also about our ability to make long-term improvements to it.

This is an unfortunate hyperbole from the author. There's a lot of distance between DoD and "hand-rolled assembly" and thinking that it's fair to put them in the same bucket to justify the argument of maintainability is just going to hurt the Rust project's ability to make a better compiler for its users.

You know what helps a lot making software maintainable? A Faster development loop. Zig has invested years into this and both users and the core team itself have started enjoying the fruits of that labor.

https://ziglang.org/devlog/2025/#2025-06-08

Of course everybody is free to choose their own priorities, but I find the reasoning flawed and I think that it would ultimately be in the Rust project's best interest to prioritize compiler performance more.

As a lay reader, it sounds like they are assuming what they are trying to prove.

Yes, it produces a testable prediction, but seemingly based on a mathematical assumption derived from our observed cosmic radiation background.

> This lower bound follows from the requirement of χk≥χ∗≃15.9 Gpc to address the cosmic microwave background low quadrupole anomaly

As a lay reader, can I assume that no scientist would publish a theory with mathematical circularity (at the heart of the prediction)? I sure can't verify it myself.

TFA says that this story is relevant for USA because there exists an executive order which "prohibits federal government departments and agencies from acquiring commercial spyware that has been misused by foreign governments" and at this moment there are contracts between Paragon and DHS and other US government institutions.

So, in theory, these contracts with Paragon should be canceled, unless Trump decides to repeal that executive order, because it is a remnant of the previous administration.

I have one. I was very skeptical until I tried it in store.

This thing just needs to be lighter and cheaper.

The screens are top tier, the one handed navigation is intuitive, the windows that stay in place are useful, the Mac OS mirroring is easy and convenient.

For all the memes and naysaying, it’s a solid glimpse at what taking apps into every day spaces will look like in five years.

I recommend reflecting on this sooner rather than later.

You made the claim that apple didn't make any telemetry requests in response to someone pointing out the double standard for Apple.

Yes the person further up in this thread lists features other then telemetry, but that's literally the double standard. It's also did telemetry, just like windows does. Did you unironically think windows phones home only for telemetry, and not for various features too?

Because the article you're commenting on lists telemetry requests.

Your comment makes straight up no sense.

A major player amongst the tiny world of user-centric privacy-focussed third party Android based OSes I guess. Their major selling point — aside from privacy and maximal degoogling — is that you could take a Pixel, install GrapheneOS, and have it work with not too much trouble. No elaborate study of a plethora of devices needed, and the device is supported for a comparatively long time.

The Pixel 6 I have will be hitting its end of life in October 2026. I had wished to be able to simply get a newer Pixel and just carry on.

I wrote a sudoku solver, that will create 9x9 array of arrays filled with numbers 1-9 for "blank" fields and only the number in defined field. Then for each square with only one number, I removed the number in that square from all arrays in row, column and subsquare. That typically left me with a solved array, but will contain all possible results for "guessing" fields. It was written in php (the thing I leaned at the time) and ran too fast for me to bother measuring, less than a second. Since I've "solved all sudokus" they stopped being fun.

It's not even remotely helpful to keep parroting "this is what Americans wanted." Not only do Trump voters not represent a majority of Americans, the media landscape is so fractured that many people did not know what they were voting for and just wanted cheaper groceries. Is that stupid and naive? Yes. But it's also stupid and naive to generalize and say "Americans want this."

1/3 of the staff where I work are remote and it's a super conservative run factory. Most live within 20 minutes of the site.

Customer support, sales, accounting, HR, IT, etc., all don't need to go into the office most of the time. Why force them? It also opens up the job market to a larger pool, cuts health care and child care cost, insurance, etc.

Yeah, that is why I wrote:

> Personally I think striving to have a realistic model of the world is still the best long term strategy and that those little lies are like drugs that will help you in the short term but wreck havoc in the long term but who knows. It is complicated.

Though to be fair much of CBT can also be getting rid of false believes that hold you back.

Ultimately CBT has a lot of empirical research backing it up that shows that it is very effective for certain conditions. Though people should also be more aware that it works less well or can be harmful for certain people. It is not a silver bullet but nothing to sneer at.

Ultimately we all cope one way or another. If you believe that you have no delusions, you are more delusional than most of us.

You can run an ssh server in termux and run whatever programs you want from there.

There's several options for storage, as well: - connect an external drive via USB (The /Android/media directory on both the internal and external SD card is generally accessible from both termux and other apps on the phone) - if you're rooted you can mount a network storage in termux (or system-wide, but then you have to figure out sandboxing) - if you're not rooted, mount in reverse (mount your phone storage over the network)

Western state agencies and mid-tier bootleg spyware vendors are neutral at best and antagonists overall. At best, bootleg spyware vendors drop exploits which agencies can reverse and use for their own purposes. But in general, these vendors bring unwanted attention and burn exploits which the state agencies would like to use. These are not part of a global conspiracy, they are competing groups with the same goals.

That's great to hear. With Six Flags being such a polar opposite to the kind of care Dollywood represents, especially.

I'm still sad that Cedar Fair sold out to Six Flags, because they had at least a modestly better reputation. Six Flags in my opinion has long been run in a fashion that makes private equity proud: Reduce cap-ex to the minimum level, minimize cleaning, maintenance, staffing, etc. while extracting every last dollar possible for short-term gain.

You're ignoring the massive elephant in the room. The previous administration let millions and millions of completely unvetted and undocumented immigrants into our county, creating an unprecedented crisis. I view Trump's actions as reclaiming our country from the brink. All of the instances you mentioned are simply fallout from the crises Trump was handed, and it astonishes me how liberals cannot see this simple fact.

You're focusing only on "Marie", whereas the greater emphasis should arguably be on "Skłodowska".

AFAIK, in 19th century France, a woman's legal name did not change after she married. She adopted her husband's name as a matter of usage, however. FWIW, I, too, have heard that Marie Skłodowska-Curie wished to make prominent her maiden name, perhaps in the double barrelled form (which is the way I've seen it many times in other languages).

I don't think they are underrated. They are heavily used where they work really well and bugs have a very high cost (e.g. hardware design).

For the vast majority of software though they don't really make much sense because formally verifying the software is 10-100x more work than writing it and testing it with normal methods. And formal verification of software generally requires faaaaar more expertise than most people have. (The situation is much better for hardware design because it tends to be way simpler.)

It's a very powerful tool but also extremely difficult to use.

From another of Mori's articles [1], where he quotes another source:

Something IS indeed rotten in the State of Cupertino, but that rot is not new. To me, it feels like the Apple Intelligence fiasco is the accumulation of Apple’s software failures over the past 10–15 years finally coming to a head. They are just not very good at making software anymore.

Just not good at making software any more. There is ample evidence over the last several years that makes this conclusion inescapable.

You ~cannot~ don't want to "bail just before impact"

A plane at takeoff is pressurized, and that pressure holds the doors closed, as well as the physical locks. You cannot open it.

Don't believe random reddit comments. Average people know less than nothing about planes.

Speaking of random people knowing less than nothing: I believed that at takeoff and landing, planes were slightly overpressurized to increase airframe rigidity. I think I got that impression from a very old pilot, so either it used to be true or it was never true and I'm just wrong.

This person probably did not bail out of the plane in order to survive, but maybe you COULD open the doors at takeoff and landing, not that you want to.

Additional edit: I've actually flown a few times while running the barometer on my phone for funzies. I might be able to find a log of data to confirm or deny my mistaken belief! It's fun to do because you can see the pressurization increase signalling that the pilots are preparing for descent even before they tell you!

By this logic anything could become government run but never transition from government run to privately run, creating a ratcheting mechanism that would eventually lead to ~everything being government run!

The pro case for privatisation (that I happen to believe in) is: you were paying for it anyway, via your tax dollars, having it private leads to competition and stronger incentives to improve/cut costs meaning it will net cost you less.

>I don't know why it rankles me to think that generated power should be fed into a dump load just to make the storage owners extra money. Even though it's inefficient at the system level, it shouldn't be harmful releasing energy that would have been eventually dissipated as heat anyways. And yet it still just feel wasteful to me.

This is one of those efficient market things where you need to manage the market in order that wasteful things happen sometimes... but that waste is an opportunity.

If you and your competitor are both in the business of dumping energy into heat, you're going to compete with each other for access to that money.

Then one of you is going to try to find a way to make _more_ money with that energy and find something quickly scalable with not-too-high idle overhead costs to do with that energy besides just flowing through a resistor.

Negative prices are a sign of an inefficient market or just the lag time between a changing landscape of resources and someone to utilize them.

If there's a free resource someone's going to figure out how to use it, just let it hang out for a while and the problem fixes itself.

Especially with solar energy, this is just going to be a thing. There's a certain balance where overprovisioning is cheaper than storage and so you just do that. Then you wait for industry (or consumers) to figure out how to take advantage of the intermittent cheap energy.

Lets rewrite this in the way the media would report if it was russian (or chinese) software:

"Russia continues to undermine western democracies and infiltrate our media and public institutions. In the latest development, Putin is using russian hacking software to spy on our citizens. This shows that Russia and Chinese software continue to be a threat to civil liberties everywhere.

In other news, 20 hamas-linked students were arrested for organizing a protest against peaceful israeli intervention in the Middle East..."

do you let it generate lots of code before review? i find this feeling you describe if i let it run wild and then have to sit there and figure out what it did and slog through every line.

the happy medium for me is either giving it very defined small tasks that i can review (think small edits or refactors over a few files). or i baby sit it and review every change its about to make. doesn't always pan out but it's basically a super powered auto-complete and i can "steer" it the direction i want. i can validate chunks much faster and it's typically of good quality.

that or i make mental notes of what i want it to fix after the first pass and run it thru again with the edits. in that way it does feel more collaborative and less like reviewing some unknown piece of code from someone else.
