That's all indeed valid.

> One of the best features of Android is that even built-in default applications like the keyboard, browser, launcher, etc can be replaced by alternative implementations.

When sideloading is barred all that can easily change. If you are forced to install everything from the Google Play Store, Google can easily bar such things, again in the name of "security" - alternate keyboards can steal your password, alternate browsers can have adware / malware, alternate launcher can do many naughty things etc. etc.

And note that if indeed giving apps access to SMS / RCS data is really such a desirable feature, Google could have introduced gate-keeping on that to make it more secure, rather than gate-keeping sideloading. For example, their current proposal says that they will allow sideloading with special Google Accounts. Instead of that, why not make it so that an app can access SMS / RCS only when that option is allowed when you have a special Google Account?

The point is that they want to avoid adding any barriers where a user's private data can't be easily accessed.

waymo, and e-scooters for sure in LA

ive chatted up a lot of women who just feel safer with no driver and will pay more to get in the waymo. (which uber has tried to respond to by giving them a preference in driver gender.)

and some of them.. who dont really have waymo money.. really like getting on an escooter to up and get out of certain neighborhoods to do their errands or get to a job safely without being hassled on a 1-2 mile walk out of neighborhoods that rideshare drivers routinely cancel on.

now I dont take uber just because i resent how shitty they started treating me as a driver after about 7 years in with a 5.0. punishing me for stuff like prescriptions or food not being ready. i wont drive or ride with that company again. a lot of their problems stem from being left with people who are so desperate for a job theyll put up with anything that company does.

The author is clearly a novice who has just tinkered with array languages a little. Extrapolating from that to absolute properties of a tool seem a bit overeager, don't you think? For example, do you think you could design a legible analog circuit without significant time learning the craft?

My experience is with APL, but I think it is capable of producing some of the most readable and maintainable codebases out there. I've worked for years in various projects using Python, Java, C, Scheme, and a smattering of many other languages. However, it's really hard to overstate the clarity that comes from data-oriented design and dogged elimination of API boundaries.

It just takes a long time to learn to write good software in good APL style. In many ways all the in vogue best practices these days around declarative and functional programming tend to work antithetically to writing good array code. This means that the learning curve for experienced programmers is, perhaps paradoxically, higher than that of a totally naive beginning coder.

I really wish I knew some way to directly convey the experience of working with APL at a high level. There's really nothing else much like it.

I feel this, but in reverse. My son could be dead, but he’s not. He was born on the floor of a trailer park apartment, not breathing. His birth mother’s partner called 911, who dispatched an ambulance. All rescue units for his zone were already busy. An ambulance returning from the nearby hospital to another zone heard the call over the radio and happened to be passing by. The hospital was expecting a DOA, but the paramedics (HEROES) managed to get him breathing again on the way. He’s 11 now, and he is the source of all kinds of trouble and joy. Our home would be very different without him.

The people gullible enough to fall for a scam like that are also gullible enough to follow more instructions 24 hours later. I think if you could force a call to the phone and have an agent or even AI that talks to user and makes sure no scam is involved then gives an unlock code based on deviceID or something. But that would cost money and scammers would work around it anyway.

We actually do have a VSCode plugin we built a couple of months ago. It's a sort of a gnarly install if you run our dev-server from a docker container (which we do), so we shelved it. We dog food everything before putting it out. There's some cleanup we need to do before we publish it but it's coming.

> I'm just curious, why didn't you make this as a VS Code plugin to benefit from all the features of an IDE?

What I was trying to articulate is that I want is to write code in my dev-panel. I don't want to switch panes to an IDE for frontend tweaking. Of course there are times that I do want to switch to my IDE, which is why we developed the VSCode extension that is coming.

> I'd imagine you could do something similar to the Live Server plugin. That way you could support any browser and not worry about maintaining the IDE features.

This may turn out to be the right approach in the end. I've just explored the one avenue that you see today but I could be totally wrong and you might be right that the embedded browser in the IDE approach is the way to go.

There are many real-world sideloading abuse cases in China. Attackers often trick victims with plausible stories—e.g., claiming a flight is delayed—and ask them to sideload an app (a remote‑meeting or remote‑control tool) to share their screen. Once installed, the attacker can view the victim’s screen and intercept SMS 2FA codes for online banking or other sensitive accounts.

Other schemes include impersonating sex workers to lure victims into nude video chats, then persuading them to install an app that harvests private content and contacts for blackmail.

Those reasons are simple. People they trust are lying to them for monetary and political gain about a subject they personally know nothing about.

That's it. That's all there is to it.

> But to do that is to admit that MAYBE the US govt didn't handle COVID perfectly.

My friend, antivax bullshit has been swelling long before COVID. Turns out there's way more money and power in peddling these people snake oil than something that will help their health.

And secondly, whatever complaints you have about handling COVID, the vaccines for it were and are safe and effective, but no amount of evidence will ever convince them.

> we are building a new advanced flow that allows experienced users to accept the risks of installing software that isn't verified. We are designing this flow specifically to resist coercion, ensuring that users aren't tricked into bypassing these safety checks while under pressure from a scammer. It will also include clear warnings to ensure users fully understand the risks involved, but ultimately, it puts the choice in their hands.

As long as this is a one-time flow: Good, great, yes, I'll gladly scroll through as many prompts as you want to enable sideloading. I understand the risks!

But I fear this will be no better than Apple's flow for installing unsigned binaries in macOS.

Please do better.

> Most consoles are sold at a loss

You're thinking of 'back in the day.' The original XBox's video card was worth more than they sold the entire system for, and the PS3 was a complete beast of computation (even if not entirely inappropriate for games...)! But in modern times (PS4 gen onward) consoles have become relatively vanilla midrange computers designed with the intent of turning profit on the hardware as quickly as possible.

The hardware cost of the PS4 was less than it's retail price from day 0 [1], and they began making a profit per unit shortly thereafter. Similarly the PS5 also reached profit per unit in less than a year. [2] XBox models from the PS4 gen onward are conspicuously similar as well.

Immutable images provide many benefits that are unrelated to DRM. The main one being that the entire fleet of Steam Decks/Machines are all in a known state. Updates are a matter of pushing a new OS image, you don't have to worry about migrating files, conflicting configurations, strange user changes. And if an update fails, the bootloader shows a screen where you can boot a previous OS image that worked.

It's like docker images for the whole OS. As far as I can tell, the Steam Deck does not have secure boot or any kind of attestation enabled. They have been very forward in marketing it as an open and free system you can do anything on. The hardware does have a TPM that is seemingly unused currently, not sure if it supports some form of secure boot.

Do those computers play games competently? I doubt they play them as well as the PS5 or Series X. We aren't in the days where integrated graphics instantly meant sub 20 FPS on any game no matter how simple, but I still wouldn't throw any recent triple A game at even new-ish computers with integrated graphics and expect them to perform all that well. They'll play Rocket League, Stardew Valley and Minecraft just fine, and maybe that's all they need to do, but a Steam Machine that can't play tomorrow's title roughly on par with current gen consoles seems like a losing bet unless the price is equivalently lower.

Medicine is a team activity. There is no amount of money which could ever make it feasible to have multiple physicians working simultaneously on routine cases, but they do delegate some tasks to lower licensed providers such as nurses and technicians.

For really complex cases there is the Mayo Clinic model (also used in a few other health systems). A patient can come for a day and be seen by an integrated team of specialists to get a diagnosis and treatment plan. But this isn't really scalable.

Google still hasn't changed anything but took the opportunity to again insult their customers within the first headline, titled "Why verification is important".

Google goes on to say how taking away one of your last remaining rights is good for you, if you like it or not.

It is clear to everyone why Google is partnering with governments around the world to remove our rights to installing apps. Laws are not on your side and must be reevaluated on an individual level to move forward. You decide your own terms, you have the power.

Only we can stop this together.

Splitting storage from retrieval is a powerful abstraction. You can then build retrieval indexes based on whatever property you desire by indexing it to amortize O(N) over many queries.

Concretely, you could search by metadata (timestamp, geotag, which camera device, etc) or by content (all photos of Joe, or photos with Eiffel tower in the background, or boating at dusk...). For the latter, you just need to process your corpus with a vision language model (VLM) and generate embeddings. Btw, this is not outlandish; there are already photos apps with this such capability if you search a bit online.

Shrug. I think Minecraft qualifies as basic, and it runs just fine on a five year old M1 Air.

It can also depend on how much effort the developer has put into a particular platform. Macs have not historically had a reputation as being a big market for games, not even in a relative sense, so some developers may not much effort into a Mac port.

Similar for us in magnitude of sized company, maybe a bit bigger. Lots of services are F# (internal and main services), but we don't advertise it that much nor want to. Every time we consider switching (even to C#) the developers want to switch back even though C# is a fine language. Its not perfect, but its enjoyable to code in all the same. At this point the stack is battle tested.

On the LTT video he also said that Valve had claimed to have tested with a small number of devices in the same room, but hadn’t tried out larger scenarios like tens of devices.

My guess based on that is you likely dont need to totally clear 6GHz in the room the Frame is in, but rather just make sure its relatively clear.

We’ll know more once it ships and we can see people try it out and try and abuse the radio a bit.

The Democratic establishment is particularly adept at own-goals, unfortunately. It feels like Congressional Democrats got one whiff of a "blue wave" from the elections, and we're right back to 2024 or 2016 where they think they can just phone it in with milquetoast compromise and people will "have to" show up and vote Democrat.

Choosing to focus on healthcare subsidies instead of Congressional Republicans' lack of oversight of the President while most of the government is shut down by fiat and the President deputizes fundamentalist militias to attack and ransack blue states and cities was its own sort of own-goal as well. Turmp has shown that people want politicians that will stand up for something, even if that something is utterly horrible and self-destructive policy. Democrats must wake up to their pressing need for some spine transplants, ideally sooner rather than later.

Every time I give this opinion I’m labeled as an a to science/anti vaxxer. Hopefully this context will help: I have virus induced asthma where even a simple cold can have me gasping for breath. I took every precaution imaginable before the vaccines were available, stayed home, got groceries delivered, masked up when I did have to go somewhere, asked my wife to retire from working in the school system as a special needs bus driver, etc. I got in early when the J and J vaccine was available and I got an mRNA booster before it was recommended in the US when I saw other countries health departments recommended.

But let’s not pretend that many of the precautions and policies weren’t performative. Mask mandates were always dumb. Most people didn’t wear effective masks and many didn’t cover their noses. You had to wear a mask on airlines long after the vaccines were available and everyone took them off at the same time to eat or drink.

The US government down played that immunity wore off within six months and that the vaccine was much less effective than they publicized at first even when there were credible studies and evidence from other countries health departments and domestically.

Again, I have every recommended vaccine imaginable. I get a flu shot every year and Covid shots at the recommended times

I wasn't trying to frame it that way. I have never had to deal with this personally, so that's just how I see it.

It's not a big deal, and people have been ignoring it for years with gas. It's just going to be more obvious in some cases now for us in the US. I'll be curious to read the psychology behind how things are priced in response to this. Will $9.99 fade in favor of $9.95 more.

All and all, the upsides of stopping wasting resources on pennies outweighs all the minuscule downsides, but it's still curious.

>Fire crews here in BC are dispatched to severe medical incidents (like heart attacks) and most of the time can even beat ambulance crews to a scene

according to the blog post, the father was talking (said "be careful" about a left hand turn) and apparently ambulatory (collapsed on his way into the hospital), so perhaps it wasn't yet considered a severe medical incident yet.

in the post she was told by her mother that father was in the hospital and she could visit him in the morning. This was at 11:30pm, hours after the arrival at the hospital which was within an hour "after dinner"

seems to me the father's condition was not known to be that severe, and well after the "late" arrival at the hospital he was thought to be in good condition. (tho always possible the hospital staff was not keeping the mother informed)

This exactly where the confusion came from for me. I was doing bit shifts in C to fix some DMA’d I2S output data on an ESP32, and then you have the two concepts: individual integers shifted left/right and the bytes themselves. Was very confusing back then, because I was thinking „individual bits l-r vs r-l“, which is incorrect.

Interesting work. Some thoughts:

First, your business model isn't really clear, as what you've described so far sounds more like a research project than a go-to-market premise. Computational pathology is a crowded market, and the main players all have two things in common: access to huge numbers of labeled whole-slide images, and workflows designed to handle such images. Without the former, your project sounds like a non-starter, and given the latter, the idea you've pitched doesn't seem like an advantage. Notably, some of the existing models even have open weights (e.g. Prov-GigaPath, CTransPath).

Second, you've talked about using this approach to make diagnoses, but it's not clear exactly how this would be pitched as a market solution. The range of possible diagnoses is almost unlimited, so a useful model would need training data for everything (not possible). My understanding is that foundation models solve this problem by focusing on one or a few diagnoses in a restricted scope, e.g. prostate cancer in prostate core biopsies. The other approach is to screen for normal in clearly-defined settings, e.g. Pap smears, so that anything that isn't "normal" is flagged for manual review. Either approach, as you can see, demands a very different training and market positioning strategy.

Finally, do you have pathologists advising you, and have you done any sort of market analysis? Unless you're already a pathologist (and probably even if you were), I suspect that having both would be of immense value in deciding a go-forward plan.

All the best!

I'm glad that you still like it, but it's strange to me that someone would buy a mechanical keyboard because of its reliability and immaculately accurate and fast typing experience caused by precise and unmistakable feedback mechanism of a mechanical switch, and then they are suddenly okay with occasional random ghost keypresses? That's like buying a Breitling SuperQuartz watch that just lags behind a minute a day, isn't it?

You might like it for other reasons of course, but registering keypresses accurately is the minimum I expect from a keyboard, let alone a mechnical one.
