Same, it looks awesome but I'm thinking I might hold out a year for a 12s Mini or whatever they will call it.

Maybe 5G will be more compelling in a year.
Curious how much market share this homepod line has. My gut feel is that Amazon has the lion's share, followed by Google and everyone else has crumbs at the bottom.
Believe it or not there was a real reason for bigger phones. They realized that most people still couldn't single handle the standard size smartphone, so if the majority of the population was going to have to use two hands the phone makers may as well jack the size up as much as possible to take advantage of the larger battery size and additional features.
Calculated to help them sell the fast chargers. Until now, every iPhone came with USB-A chargers so yes people have a lot of them, but they are allll USB-A.

I never use cases.

From the old indestructible Nokias, passing through a Sony Ericsson, a Nokia Windows Phone, and then the Moto G4. Until my previous phone.

My previous phone was a Moto G6, with glass in the back. In the second day, it fell from my lap and the back-glass broke completely, but stood in place with glass dust all over. I had to use a case (that is shipped with the phone, probably predicting this). I was pissed, always hated. All of that because of a useless aesthetic product decision.

Then I bought the latest iPhone SE, my first iPhone ever. I use it without a case and it fell, from various heights, probably more than 30 times now. The screen is intact, just a few scratches in the corners. I am pretty happy about it.

Edit: just in case anyone wants to know, I don’t like cases solely because it makes the phone larger. The “how easily and comfortably it fits in my pockets” is my main criteria. I don’t care about aesthetics much, consequently I also don’t care if my phone has scratches on its sides. That’s one reason I changed to the iPhone SE (small phone + great chip + privacy considerations). I would only ever consider buying the iPhone Mini out of these iPhone 12 line.
I would argue that the key element is extracting a useful key which appears to have been made possible by an earlier blog from another source (referenced by this blog entry): https://blog.netspi.com/stealing-unencrypted-ssh-agent-keys-...

No, it's more than a factor of 300 price difference for the big lidars currently used on cars versus what that thing'd cost. The big spinning mirrors in the car lidar really bring the price up.
What’s the RAM on the phone I tried looking at the tech specs page but I can’t seem to find it. Is it still 2GB?

I was expecting a refresh of the HomePod too, though rumors mentioned only the HomePod mini. I also thought that a price of $79 would’ve been quite attractive compared to the $99 price. Just have to wait for holiday sales, I guess.

I can’t wait for reviews and comparisons on the sound of HomePod vs. HomePod mini.
It's amusing that the web crowd redefines standard graphics terms. A "wireframe" in graphics is a 3D model where only the edges are shown. This use of "wireframe" means something else entirely. In publishing, that's usually called a "layout".

In graphics, "rendering" refers to the final steps which generate the actual pixel values to be displayed. The web crowd uses "rendering" to mean creating the DOM to be displayed, which is still a long way from the pixels. Graphics people would call that creating the scene graph. This appears to be a concept created by Google.[1] For scraping purposes, Google runs most pages in a headless browser to build the final DOM. Then they scrape that. Thus, the Javascript gets executed before scraping. Google refers to that as "rendering", even though they don't take the last steps to generate a pixel image.

Nobody has these chips in their hands, so I would treat any claims with skepticism at this point.
LTE already allows 150Mbps symmetrical on an iPhone 8 (real-world speed test in London), and probably more on the newer phones.

The problem with mobile data has never been the raw speed - that is already fast enough. The problem was always how it's being sold (whether data caps, the overall - terrible - customer experience and the BS the industry is constantly pulling like AT&T sharing data for marketing purposes), and switching to a different technology won't magically change that.
If the video had stated the fun stuff was in another video I'd have been fine watching ads for what I'd intended to see. 18 mins with ads even as part of the video makes this pure clickbait.

"Yoda speak" is actually object-subject-verb, not subject-object-verb. (And the sentence "In god we trust" is also OSV order). Subject-object-verb is not really present in English even in archaisms or other weirder contexts.

The price of all of the three above is rising very fast. Yes, there are other (different) factors for all 3, but too much monetary supply is one of them.
Nice illustration of deploying an application to an edge network, but for practical purposes if you want a hosted pihole, nextdns does a pretty good job of providing custom filtered dns with good latency.
I sure hope not. Unlike most people, I upgrade my phone in 3-4 years, so by that time even my adaptor is worn out. I would not wish to spend more for one if I don't get any reduction in phone price.
Wall-to-USB-C?
It changes... everything.
To be fair, the chargers are inferior compared to brands like Anker. GAN chargers are so much smaller. Apple took the easy way out instead of coming up with a decent charger.

I don't think so. You can have a wave function in physical 3-D space as a (very common) special case and you still have the wave-particle dichotomy.

Why do you think configuration space explains WPD?
It hasn't flopped; It just won't be available to the majority of people on the planet for a very long time.

An earlier entry (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24768220) to a Windows 10 specific blog post linked to this blog post from 2014 which appears to have never been posted here. So I did so.
Apple resisted phablets for years. When they finally released their first “plus” sized phone sales were through the roof.

In absolute numbers there’s a good market for “mini” (or smaller) phones. But relatively speaking it’s a niche.

The market has spoken! But fortunately the market is literally billions of smartphone users so there’s a lot of room for variety.
you're an extreme outlier.
Even the iPhone 6 is too big to use one-handed, and I have giant sasquatch hands. I got one from work when they first came out, and ended up sticking with my iPhone 5. I also really dislike the protruding camera lens, and now all phones do that. The phone can't even lie flat on a surface. Bigger is not better. I use a Pixel 2 right now, and it's the perfect size for my hand. It also has a protruding lens, but with a slim cover, it's fine.

Here's an even easier one, Apple had them as early as 2006! But then pulled them, even though everyone loved them... and now are reintroducing it as new
Totally agree. Apple has often been one to change things in a way that makes the tech crowd moan. The winning situation is dump lightning and switch the iPhone to usb C - just like they did with the iPad.
Published under de Zwart's medium, but "Written by Reinier Kist."

I had the misfortune of charging my iPhone via usb connected to my laptop while working. This triggered the 4G tethering, so i spent an afternoon working on my cellular data plan... schlepping multi-gb csv files around. I didn't even notice anything, until my data plan ran out.

I honestly wouldn't mind slower than 4G speeds. With 4G it's already bordering on ridiculous how quickly you can burn up a data plan.
A few days ago I downloaded a 4.8GB MacOS update over a 4G connection. That took 25 minutes, which is an average of 3.2 MB/s. My provider claims 30 Mbit/s, so that is pretty reasonable.

unfortunately one of the best ways to make a mark and functional programming is to contribute to open source projects supported by companies that use functional programming. you can also focus on Research companies. there are a lot of research contractors that have strong functional programming communities like Galois, MSR, and Charles River analytics. companies that focus on programming languages and formal methods. finally becoming proficient in a language like F# or Elm scala has a lot of application and supportive industry market.

I would suggest following conferences like strange loop, for some reason a lot of speakers for strange loop work with functional programming languages
Actually, the Case-Shiller index itself is not adjusted for inflation, unless the graph you're looking at explicitly mentions that.
In a way, yeah, definitely. Perhaps it's a bad sign for Apple, but good for consumers. It's a solid (and imho beautiful) design that works really well mechanically (iirc).

Once we see them we can investigate them and adjust our understanding of RF's health effects and modify the technology to make sure it's safe.

So far nobody has proven that the RF frequencies & transmit powers used in 5G (or any other wireless networking technology, for that matter) are harmful.
I was just talking about the minimal viable product. Yeah, metal foam is something you can make in space but not on Earth and it might be valuable to send metal down for that reason. Using a glider will increase uncertainty about where the results end up, though, compared to a simpler measure of decent. I think accepting some ablation as the price of accuracy is probably the way to go.
Thanks for the correction, Chris! I must have misremembered the process for GPLv2.
I think “actively engaged” here means “curated”, where a human had to provide labels or guidance.

Obviously the rise of big data and deep models that can induce probabilities is the source of pretty much all advancement in AI since heavy reliance on curation and logic were abandoned. As such, AI really is as much a technology now as it has ever been. It seems that the central revelation in the field since the demise of symbolic AI (aka GOFAI) has been that so much useful pattern matching can be achieved by 1) the inducing of sufficient probability from large data to enable high levels of (narrow) intelligent behavior and 2) doing it using so little human curation.

Perhaps the author is suggesting that recent advances in AI are not really based in intelligence or cognition, and thus is only a trivially small subset of the greater endeavor of building machines that can think. If so, then the misnomer she objects to isn't “AI”, it's “intelligence”.
Well, Magsafe was not wireless but you do raise an existing point. That the iPhone could have magnets and pogo pins and have fast charging without needing it to be wireless, thus saving the weight of the charging coil and saving the energy lost as heat.

Kik Gets Poured Out V SEC
Mine sit in the box for years until I accidentally run the old one over with the hoover or something. Apple will ditch Lightning long before I run out of cables.

Of course, the right thing to do here would be to drop the price of the phone by some token amount, like £10. Sure the environment benefit is real, but the real driving force is that Apple makes an extra 1% margin on every phone.

The political picture painted in the article is really biased and dishonest.
The inhuman thing about the internet is that interacting with people has been replaced with interacting with organizations. Organizations that want to ignore you, and if you can't be ignored than to fit you neatly into a database schema where they can exact the actionable information necessary to continue making money, and then ignore you.

I'm sure your software is great at searching for help in a knowledgebase and falling back to soliciting bug reports.

I'm not so sure about your messaging.

I'm sorry, that is flat out incorrect. They are printing asset and liability money this time around. Observe:

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2

The is (give or take money market funds) the total sum of money in US bank accounts. Compare and contrast with 2008 for example, where the asset money creation was restricted to the asset side because it was used to take dodgy loans out of the banking system and put them into runoff.

As to why there isn't much inflation yet, well there is. The stock market is considerably inflated due to this, and inflation will creep into the rest of the financial system over time, as this works its way into regulatory capital.

but tldr: it is absolutely printing money - arguably it was the only thing they could do at the time, and the European Central Bank has done similar although less dramatic things, but the longer term consequences will definitely be interesting.

Now, whether or not you, personally, do, is entirely up to you and what you want your career trajectory to go. (Both are equally valid because internally, AWS will always needs ops people that understand computers.) However, a cottage industry of AWS Certified Solutions Architects has already sprung up, and some have been getting lucrative consulting gigs based on knowing the mismash of Amazon names and how best to mash them up.

Serverless (specifically AWS Lambda) plays a part in the cloud, but most of your objections are true of the cloud and/or AWS more broadly, and have little to do with, specifically, serverless. (Despite whatever the webdev convention was trying to sell you.) There's a whole world of EC2 instances which are mostly VPSes, to know about that definitively aren't serverless (though there are some really neat cattle-level features that serverless learns from)

If the computer is a bicycle for the mind, then the cloud is a car for the programmer's mind. You can definitely build your own stack with your own team that manages to avoids the cloud, but at some point it becomes more than one person can handle. As you scale, there's a points where the cloud does, and does not make sense, but the cloud gets you access to far more resources as a tiny team than would otherwise be available to you.

Fascinating take on a different, darker side of tech innovation. Makes complete sense that criminal gangs use the same agile approaches to innovation that a start-up would use. Of course this is thegruqg writing here, so I expected nothing less.

No, of course, I'd just previously assumed it was the sort of thing only a couple thousand dollars worth of.

Looking at specs, the 12 (and 12 Pro) has the same 6.1" screen size as the XR/11 did, but body length and width are both about 4mm smaller. So that's ~2mm less bezel all around presumably.
The Big Vitamin D Mistake (2017)

> Jaron doesn't provide a meaningful way to engage with his critique and it seems the logical conclusion of his view is that we abandon technology all together.

While it may appear that way, I wonder whether he might be speaking past many people involved in applying ML on human data.

As a starting point for establishing clarity, do you recognize/understand that one of the core ideas of his theme is human agency? And what he means by “humanity” (our sense of purpose/meaning tied closely with competence & judgement) and why he fears it might be overwhelmed by AI? Since human nature is “reflexive”, being infantilized or treated with certain biases by algorithms will push humans to become like that. The technical way to phrase this is that statistical modeling assumes static distributions, but the actual distribution of human behavior responds/adapts to these assumed models (“distribution shifts”). Pause and think about that for a moment.

Eg, the question he discusses in the talk you link to: if AI could (someday) do everything (some very broad range of things), then what is the point of human life?

If your answers are going to emphasize convenience & improvements and opportunities for better consumption, then you are ignoring the fundamental premise of the question. He’s pointing out a perspective that is deeply at odds with the assumptions which drive today’s computing/ML related industry. Are you saying you’d prefer he stops asking inconvenient questions?
