Thanks for sharing. Do you think it's doable without a CS background? I have a Math MS and do use some programming (mostly SQL, Python and some CLI) in my job but never had any formal CS education.
If Apple weren't constantly trying to increase their market share, I imagine their shareholders would like to have a word with them :-)

I get what you're saying though. I don't think they should go after the budget PC market. There's still lots of room for growth at the mid to high end. There's also servers.
Huawei ML Kit's Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) Service: Tongue Twisters
This 'school' was the final marker for me for the 'programmer bubble'.

I remember back in the aughts when the rhetoric wasn't 'l2code' it was 'learn graphic design' in a few weeks and be a highly paid graphic artist working for the biggest most famous companies making the best money!

Really there was never anything special about any of it, it just seemed a daunting task. The more people realized this the more the job market was flooded until the .com bubble burst. Which was a good thing, really.

Here we have the same thing again. The things I remember most from last bubble that match with this are for-profit 'technical colleges' with 'degrees' but they arent really because they're un-accredited. Now they just call them coding boot camps, but I see no difference.

It all smells like taking advantage of the most desperate of people in the worst spots who want nothing more than to genuinely improve their lives.

I believe ITT Tech and Hallmark eventually got sued over the same stuff- lying about job placement ratios, constant teacher turnover, constant ripoff and high pressure tactics stories.

Also fanny packs are back again, so why not for profit pretend schools?

All we do is visit the same crimes to each other.
Lol cry me a river.

I couldn't get a report to go forward for a guy who called me a f*cking n-word and threatened to rape my dead dog and their automated tools got me banned for a week for calling a rocking sofa the whitest thing ever. Great job guys, hope you are never ever given something actually important to do.

That said, why would someone even need to do this? Just how unprotected is a random worker over there?
Learning to play Minecraft seems like a meaningful activity. It's essentially digital Legos, not to different perhaps from the way you compose music on your digital canvas.

Is there something else you would rather your kids be doing?
Use macOS Recovery on a Mac with Apple silicon
In what sense thermal radiation is "random"? Normal thermal radiation is only random in the sense that it's very hard to compute all the photons given the initial states of all the electrons etc, but it's possible in principle. Does black hole have an internal state, that depends on the states of all the particles that fell into it? If so, the emanating radiation can be computed from that internal state, so information is preserved.
There's a cool GTK app called Giara that works well on mobile Linux.

Is this a contract freely entered by both parties? I got the impression that wasn't the case, that a company couldn't just politely decline.
There are few companies that have been as abusive and predatory to copyright law as Disney.

The Mickey Mouse Protection Act is only one example of just pure copyright evil.

> As a long-time OSM contributor (former editing software maintainer, former OSM Foundation board member yadda yadda) I like this piece, because it actually gets the "mutual aid" dynamic between corporate OSM and enthusiast OSM.

The phrase 'commoditize your complement' ( https://www.gwern.net/Complement ) is probably better known than 'mutual aid' as a description of why OSM gets all this corporate buyin from Facebook, Apple, etc.
The Only Cofounder Equity Calculator You’ll Ever Need
This actually has nothing to do with "Imaginary Property Laws". And everything to do with contractual agreement. They're obligated to follow the contractual agreement even if the underlying property is (or ought depending on your view) worthless. It seems like a big leap to go from IP isn't real to allowing a massive corporation to reneg its agreements.
Bezos clearly doesn't fall into this category. He literally built Amazon himself, on his knees, packing books with his bare hands.

If there's one billionaire with intimate knowledge of the "lower" levels of his business, it's Bezos.
Sorry! Wish I could edit but it's too late.
Ask HN: How to work for Neuralink etc. as an EU citizen?
It seems many of the more exciting opportunities are only available for people authorized to work in the US.

I've been doing some soul searching and I always come back to the idea that I want to work on "building the future of humanity" in some manner, and Neuralink would be one suitable avenue for that.

Lacking other opportunities at the moment, I get the feeling that the best bet for me is to achieve financial independence by any means necessary (even if it means doing useless widgets), and then just pursue the main goal afterwards, even if I have to do alone.

I don't like it though, and I'd ideally want to find a more direct path to get there.
The helicopter can fly in a straight line, the car must follow roads. The helicopter has no traffic to slow down for, no turns, and a relatively low risk of accidents.
He comes off that way because he is. He's a regular poster here on anything lambda related. His twitter was pretty vile as well.
so far it's ~6x faster than the previous implementation (and you can drop resolution in the config file to get it closer to 30fps than 1fps but that has a quality trade-off)
This would be huge because Safari is missing so many APIs and leaves users on an unusable browser when they stop getting OS updates.
Learning the basics of AWK (I can't admit to being a super-user) was probably the biggest boost to my productivity in NLP.
Interesting. I've never heard of a kepub before and I have a Kobo. The kepub format isn't even mentioned in the spec list for the [Forma].

I keep asking people to explain why they downvote posts like yours and nobody wants to. I guess they know the reasons aren't good, they just can't help giving in to the desire for control.

Beautiful list though and well said. I've been trying to think of a succinct way to summarize some of those concepts and I think you've broken them up well.
Another pound is a full third of that weight. That’s a big percentage.

Anecdotally, there was a step function between 3 lb ultraportable laptops with 12-13” displays and the 2.2 lb 11” MacBook Air. It was the most grabbable, portable computer I’ve ever owned with enough CPU power to handle my Computer Science coursework. It changed my relationship with my laptop. It no longer felt like a lump in my bag that needed to be handled carefully, like all the previous plastic bodied things I’d owned.

I have since used a 13” Air, Pixelbook, Samsung Galaxy Chromebook (until it died), and I’m typing this now on an iPad Pro, and I still miss that laptop.

The HP Dragonfly looks real nice, maybe if I put Linux on it. It’s also $2200 for decent specs though, whereas the 11” MacBook Air was a comparatively reasonable $899.
I don't think platforms (or governments) should ban content they disagree with, but I think platforms should be structured to emphasize compact social groups over viral content. It's irresponsible to have a UI like Twitter, with a "What’s happening" tab deliberately looking for the most controversial topics it thinks you'll like.
North Bend. It's in King County, but at the easternmost edge of it. The legislative district actually spans the Cascades, so it's generally bluer to the west and redder to the east of here; we're in the middle.
It is a low-paid job because it is easy to find someone to do it I assume. Unfortunately, salaries do not reflect how a job benefits society, or how hard it is, it is just a function of how hard it is to find someone to do it.
The burger joint did absolutely fine before ads and the internet. That's kind of my point. Nobody is inventing a micropayment solution because doing ads pays. (Like, maybe we can put our efforts towards updating payments to the 21st century instead of just outsourcing everything to VISA and paying their 30c tithe...? Maybe we can have some kind of publicly funded digital cash thing?)

What I'm getting at is that some things are better for giant tech companies and corporations and worse for regular people and some things are better for regular people but worse for giant corporations and tech companies.

I'm not even saying that I hate that this is the case, I understand our reality. The lack of creativity, the lack of imagination on this from anyone at all, but especially our best and brightest -- that is the worst part about all of this.

The absolute depth of monoculture on these issues is "oh for sure, it's messed up, but like, fixing it is too hard because of how messed up it is. Better double down before this whole thing implodes!"
>That player also has a history of tracking, fingerprinting and privacy violations that not everyone is comfortable with

Forcing Apple to change their financial incentives would likely make them look to the value of tracking, fingerprinting and privacy violations too.
How do these numbers work to be relevant in a phone?

Surely without throttling it never draws more than 1A, that's actually enough to cause significant sag like the 0.3V example?
Browsers (starting with apple) and regulations (ccpa etc) will give you a choice.

The area is ripe for disruption. But sadly, that's the world we have to live in. I am pretty sure google would have prefered if you paid for the services you get (i suggest you sign up for google one, if you use gmail/drive/etc). But until that's ubiquitous ads is what we have.

re: neighborhood burger joint - web search implies someone is providing you this for free. or through ads. or you pay.
On the other hand, you knew these restrictions before purchasing it and still continued with the transaction.

I understand both perspectives here but I don't think one is objectively right.
False dichotomy. Economic systems contain hundreds of sliders a country can adjust, from various tax rates to workers' rights. Adjusting one of these has nothing to do with Stalin's USSR or Mao's China, so I don't understand why you're bringing those up.
Because a well-timed twitter outrage mob that gets a company to voluntarily do the appropriate (and legal) thing is a far quicker and cheaper remedy than going through possibly multiple rounds of litigation.

Video and audio too risky. We're gonna have to go with a neural interface and implanted DRM chips. I bet Time-Warner Media has patents they can license. :)
> Apple has gone one step further, and now macOS on ARM Macs requires signed binaries, and it will not run unsigned ones.

Apple Silicon Macs will not run unsigned binaries, but the binaries can have any signature, so you can just generate one yourself and add it. There's no need for a developer account, or any other external party. And there are no issues with legacy support either, because ARM Mac binaries didn't exist until now (and the requirement does not apply to Intel apps being run via Rosetta).

This really isn't a big deal.

I was initially worried that mandatory code signing would prevent me from hex editing binaries (which is a thing I do sometimes), but I recently learned that codesign can replace a binary's existing signature. So even that shouldn't be a problem.
You have no sympathy for someone who was told "If you write us a book, we'll give you some money every time we sell one", and then no one gives him the money they promised?

Your hn bio says you are a former Microsoft engineer. This is equivalent to microsoft hiring you, you doing some work for them, and them deciding that they don't need to pay you.

Somehow, I don't think you would stand for that.
You are taking "you" as literal you. Not everyone is literal you.
IAP revenue probably is on par with or more than ads. But ads is on top of that. There's a difference.
Remember when America had Unions? It lifted everyone up. Now its a race to the bottom.
I'm pretty sure the main "value" those services "add" is resume padding.... :/
When you put a barrier of entry on top of an activity, you will usually find that a large portion of the people who still take part in that activity are doing so because they have strong, even illegal reasons to take part in it.

If you outlawed general-purpose computing, a large majority of the people who still wrote code afterwards would be black-hat hackers. If you outlawed car repair, the majority of the people who took apart their cars anyway would be installing illegal, unsafe mods. If you were able to successfully outlaw encryption, such that there were genuine barriers to encrypting a message, then the majority of people who used encryption under the table would be people who were communicating about breaking the law.

The only people who are willing to jump through the significant hoops required to sideload on consoles are people who are either strongly motivated to write their own code and fix their own problems (ie, the almost ideological, morally driven homebrew community) and pirates. But part of the reason that's the case is because more legitimate actors can't enter the space.

There is no modding scene on consoles. There are no 7th graders making Xbox games using kits that they can distribute to their friends. There are no widely popular homebrew kits that almost everyone accepts as improvements over the default experience. There is no competition between distribution channels. There are no custom stores with specialized filters and moderation for niche content.

There are a lot of reasons why we might want to have dedicated, single-purpose hardware that can still be modified by normal people, but calls to say, "show me the community for this, and then I will allow the community to exist" are just backwards. I can't show that the majority of people hacking consoles are just writing mods for Zelda games and releasing custom 3DS themes, because the majority of people are not allowed to do that. It's not surprising that the people who buy specialized vulnerable games or modchips to reflash their expensive hardware at the risk of being permanently banned by the companies who make that hardware -- that the majority of those people are already used to breaking rules, and that many of them then look at piracy and say, "eh, I've already gone this far, what on earth do I have to lose?"

Of course pirates are common among sideloaders, you can have your accounts banned and your legal games taken away if you make a mistake. Who the heck other than most dedicated people are going to take that risk? What is surprising is that there's any homebrew community on these consoles at all -- that even with all of the stupid risks involved, that people are still willing to follow the law and engage with hacked hardware in a legal way that fosters a creative ecosystem of mods and custom software.
Why doesn't ADF sell the royalty rights at a discount to a third party who then will fund the lawsuit against Disney with the aim of recovering the full amount? It's like accounts receivable factoring.
It may be a fact that the Google spokeperson said that, but parroting it without any context does seem to imply you have trust in Google. I don’t think that’s an unfair take on what you posted. Google has eroded a ton of trust over the years so to emphasize (with your italics) a public statement does seem to brush over the lack of credibility of the source you’re repeating.

Like I heard someone say, Julius Cesar was a bad guy, but we probably don't wanna change the name of the month of July.
They have unions and they actually get paid quite well.
I've just had one session, so it's too early to tell. I was in the same boat as you - I don't quite believe in alternative therapies, but when you're driven to desperation, you don't mind giving anything a shot.

One reason I actually tried it is because it's helped my mom a lot with her frozen shoulder. She couldn't lift her hands over her head for months, and after 8-10 acupuncture sessions, she is 80% better. I don't know if it helps with permanent recovery, but anything resembling normalcy is better than the alternative.
The other side is the question "is this news?"

Everyone thinks their circumstance is "precedent setting" and something to pay more attention to than other things, but the question here being is it?

You can buy assets without liabilities. There isn't something to find out... or is there? Yes, you and them just noticed that this could undermine all royalties by just shuffling them off to a shell company that has no ability to pay. But are you sure it hasn't always been like that?

For example, many jurisdictions require a tax when a car is sold. But you can always buy the LLC that happens to own a car and no tax event occurred. The only point of this example - not as an analogy to this case - is that the feature was always present and it avoids a transaction. Could this deprive the state of revenue? Yes, yes it could, astute observation, moving on.

This article and complaint makes it seem like it is groundshaking, but did the earthquake really come decades ago and nobody used their platform to notice?

I am reserving judgement on the legal side for that purpose. Can we shame Disney for taking that approach, sure. But attempting to get a reputable legal advocacy foundation involved for a reality that already has existed for an unknown amount of time seems like misdirection.
Amoral is the word you're looking for and Joel Bakan is clearly mistaken -- corporations are tabula rasa with a single directive, "grow" they then go on to embody the qualities of the leadership and the regulatory climate under which they exist.

It's up to the government and the people to limit their scope, or not if they choose. The mistake America made was legalizing corporate lobbying of the government which enabled regulatory capture, but that is an old mistake and there is no real will to change that other than the normal handwaving and guffawing.

> Vista[0] (the VA's EMR) is pretty scary. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

why do you say that? From a doctor's perspective, Vista is one of the more user friendly EMRs.
Thank you, yes, I didn't know that. It's a shame, because it's such a nice phrase.
So we just decided to give up on Medium I guess? When does Substack’s replacement come in.
Right but you understand that this is just raising the temperature of the pot the frog is in.
I had never heard of this abbreviation, so in case someone else is similarly curious, it appears "SAD" in this context stands for "standard American diet": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_pattern_diet
Except "porn" is by definition related to porn, whereas "hub" is completely generic? Why would a word cease to be OK because a porn website has been using it?
>The reason is technical, so it's hard to communicate this in a way that all consumers can understand

"The battery in your iphone has degraded. Phone performance will be lowered to ensure stability. See an apple store or visit apple.com/battery to have a replacement battery installed"

It would have been so easy.
Why did they call them Plex? Come on Google! Plex is already a trademark.
In a warped sort of way, I can think it would be useful to have it the other way around. A small developer doesn't have the resources to build and maintain their own billing system, promotion, etc, so 30% is probably reasonable. A larger developer, however, can, or already has those things, so to being forced to pay 30% is not reasonable. That's before we consider margins rather than takings.
Not exactly a case, but an example: it's the same reason why MS Windows will have, on "cover", "copyright Microsoft", not a complete list of licensed components for some of which they might still be paying royalties. Similarly in other works.

In this case, the book as a whole would be copyright Star Wars Corporation, probably a holding entity specially to handle multiple involved copyrights (the copyright to Star Wars itself, etc.), and unlike a Windows install media you won't find a page listing "this work contains parts copyright X, Y, Z". But the contractual obligations still exist.
A carrier can pre-install whatsapp, it still won't show up with normal text messages in the messages app but iMessage will.
What’s funny is that this article doesn’t even load on my T-Mobile connection here in the US without a VPN. I’m not accusing anyone of impropriety, but it’s certainly a funny coincidence.
still less than what they made on "oh yeah your phone is old and slow, but totally not broken!!1. Let me upgrade you for only $499.95" bullshit up-sell

Like many shady businesses they thought by changing the definitions of words they could get away with blatantly illegal shenanigans.

These are very much unpaid internships that are obviously intended to be a free trial for labor. An internship is learning, not being thrust into a role as a trial. All to bump their bullshit placement numbers.

I've often wondered how far a company would have to.go before YC officially distanced themselves, I guess I'll have to keep waiting.

Internships period should be abolished. Is there a name for a law where 'anything a company can get away with it will'. Or even 'never attribute to malice that which can be attributed to profit-seeking'
Advertisers don't give a damn what advertising is "most relevant" to me. -> They certainly do, indirectly - that'd mean they get better ROI on their investment.

But think of it this way. You are getting a service, you are paying either directly or indirectly through ads.

Facebook wouldn't be a thing if it were a paid product from get go. It'd probably even lose a major part of its user base if it became a paid product overnight.

Like i said, i would love if i can pay for a product i am benefiting from, but it's not always possible.
That was subtle for most people to pick up on. Congrats!
Why don’t you have sympathy for the author? Regardless of how you feel about the flagrant breach of contract, the fact that he needs the money to pay the cost of his cancer treatment certainly elicits sympathy from me.
So then why not take Mussolini's own words on what fascism is and isn't? His definition required it to be totalitarian: "Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state".
I don’t know about the neural engine, but the GPU on the M1 has 128 EUs in each of the 8 cores, making for 1024 EUs total. It’s not quite in the same league as a 1660 Ti but it’s close: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16252/mac-mini-apple-m1-teste...
I do not want to lease a car. I want to own a car. I don't want to be paying monthly for something unless I absolutely have to.

> That can make an enormous difference to their affordability, and should also inject a large pool of electric cars into the second hand market over the next few years.

Still too expensive. My current vehicle cost me £4000. It has been paid for (I got a bank loan, I didn't lease or hire purchase) for many years now. It cost me next to nothing to repair, run, tax and MOT. It has next to no fancy electronics and it just works. I can to take it to any garage in the UK and they can repair it, with Teslas, BMWs, Mercs etc you can't really do that.

There is no benefit to me in owning an electric vehicle.
