We had 2K USD to run training on AWS. We weren’t sure which instance will do the job within that budget. So we put together a tool that helped us find the right balance training time and cost.

We kinda feel like this might be useful for others, but a bit confused about potential use cases. So we put together a simple app for others to play with.

For this to work you need to add our monitoring to your docker image and fill-in the gaps in launching .py script with proper AWS asset details.
Beware that the app is launching SageMaker jobs on YOUR infrastructure via IAM role that you also need to generate using our guide. The IAM role has no access to your code or data. All these steps are described in detail in the app.

At the end you are getting a summary of launches with $, time, logs and link to Grafana dashboard with metrics for each launch.

It’s free - we plan to make it an open source tool if it proves to be useful.

We’d love to hear your feedback - if that’s something that might be of any use?
Well, there's the display technology described in the article....
The analogy is fun, but I'm not sure I agree with the author's conclusion:

> a constexpr marker should be unnecessary, just like a hypothetical linux marker

In fact, I'd love to have a "linux" annotation for functions which can only be called on Linux! Using the type system to manage the context in which a function can be called is a good idea, and allows safer code.

The alternative is global type inference (which is slow) or runtime failures (which defeats the point).
It’s certainly not perpetual motion, because the vehicle would quickly come to a stop if the wind speed (relative to the ground) went to zero.
There has to be a legal angle to this and that's why Apple is doing it. Section 230 protects ISPs, but is Apple/iPhone an ISP? It seems to me that some legal position has forced Apple. This story is just starting, of that I'm certain.
Eep, sorry to hear that!

I haven't heard any other reports, and it's working on my fully-updated iPhone hoping this was just a hiccup.
This was the first compiler I paid for as a grad student circa 1986. It was wonderfully useful, well documented. Tech support always responded to my letters and emails. And they sent me updates for years. I loved Aztec C.
I'm not opposed to regulating the relationship between franchiser and franchisee, but anti trust does not strike me as a good fit.

The market here seems to be something like 'franchise rights to a fast service food brand'. McDonalds is far from the only company offering such a thing.

You need to meet the threshold, and they must add those photos to their iCloud Photos library. Remember iCloud Backups are E2E encrypted, iCloud Photo Library is not E2E.
Interesting, time for American teens to switch to WhatsApp, Telegram or Signal. Kids have sex life finds a way.

Has Apple thought this through?
> The CCP have already throughly demonstrated that they don’t need manufactures consent to build these systems.

It was obviously merely an example for illustration purposes by the parent. To get a point across it's often very helpful to use a stark, clear example.

Few governments will ever have the extraordinary capabilities and resources of the CCP in China.

For the other ~190 governments that will never reach that level of capability, what they might have now is a globe-spanning billion-device corporation like Apple more willing to assist them.
In our case elections work by having two "rounds", in the first one the top 2 candidates go to the second round, and then people vote for one or the other.

This means that the "vote division" thing is not really an issue... If you end in second place, you still get a shot to get all the votes of whoever doesn't want to vote for the first place.

Thus basically any candidate in second place trying to campaign saying the vote will be "divided" is basically bullshitting the voter base in an attempt to secure his second place.

The first place DO want to concentrate votes though, if you end with more than 50% of the votes (and Brazil has mandatory voting, so basically 50% of voters) then you win outright, so sometimes parties DO attempt to do this by pooling all their votes toward one candidate (for example several xxx-wing parties choosing only one candidate among them all and campaigning all of them for that same guy).
That's true, but trying to fix it by making more unnatural changes is bound to backfire.

Also, few of our changes to the environment have an impact as great as the greenhouse gases.
There’s a simple fix for that. Rename site to “this idea, but you can solve it better”.

So the idea exists, but maybe the person reading it can implement a better solution for the idea.

If you go for anything only because "passion" you have a huge risk.

Passion like any feeling has tendency to come & go, and is not always under our control.

But why make it a dilemma? Just start doing whatever you want to try in parallel with your job while you have no serious obligations, and just see where it goes.
I thought the author's conclusion was that constexpr annotations were necessary?
Oh, I agree with you that humanity probably won't go extinct in the next 100 or maybe even 200 years. We're pretty adaptable.

But if you think the global oceans being completely empty of fish--I mean, nothing larger than your hand is alive--entire continents reverting to first savannah, then desert, and parts currently desert literally becoming uninhabitable, then yeah, sure, it's some economic damage and a small war.

This isn't "adapting to a changing planet". It's more like "adapting to life without the leg I am currently hacking at with a dull rusty blade--oh look, bone! can't quit now...".
I have a 15 month old and I’m not so sure about that lol. Our pediatrician seems to mostly be on the lookout for serious illnesses, which is fair enough I guess? Maybe if we got concierge or lived in another country.
> I've grown used to picking the phone from my bed at 100% battery in the morning on days where I had to do a lot of stuff outside, be out and about for 4-5 hours and only pick up the phone once or twice, and then get back home and find the phone at 98% battery.

Is this true when the device is a year or two old? I've always found iPhone battery life impressive... but only until its about a year old or so. My iPhone 11 plus now requires nightly charging, or I will inevitably hit a Low Battery situation
The spike protein is part of COVID-19's infection mechanism.

The thinking (if I understand correctly) in targeting the spike protein was that mutations to the spike protein may render the vaccine less effective, but would also render COVID-19 less infectious.

It's a clever hack to rely not on whether the spike is mutation-prone, but instead on the odds that a mutation would result in a less effective virus that the vaccine wouldn't be necessary for.

Even if Apple decides to roll this back they've made it clear to me that I can't afford to be too locked into their ecosystem. With more open platforms you have options if you disagree with decisions made by any one vendor. With Apple you have no other options.
I think you are aware that 4G radio can draw a lot of energy so that might be an unfair comparison with the iPhone.

A more objective test would be for both to have SIM, or both to not have a SIM. Then again, iPhones have objectively weaker batteries compared to a lot of Androids (as in, less mAh).

I am not claiming that there are no better Android devices nowadays btw; not at all. I'd be happy if the OEMs finally caught up with this nasty problem! I am only saying that back in 2017 -- when I finally lost patience with Android -- things were looking pretty bad for it and for me that was the tipping point that made go for iPhones.
>Both are equally invasive and both can only be avoided by refusing to use the cloud.

Technically Apple can do a scan regardless of wether or not you posted it to iCloud if they so desired to, or were ordered to.
On the other hand, Google can run arbitrary queries over your data (published to their cloud) while Apple uses the same algorithm and hash database for everyone (which probably will get reverse engineered and audited by next BlackHat).
If you look at the data that the MyDrive smartphone app shows for each device, you'll notice that the "lifetime subscription" has a fixed expiry date. It appeared to be ~10 years for the devices I looked at. I could not see this information any other way except via the MyDrive app.
Lots of true-blue Mac partisans were crazy salty about the loss of the spatial finder, but I never gave a damn.

I want my file-browsing window to maintain a consistent presentation as I navigate. I don’t need each folder to open another window; that makes me crazy, and was one of the things I hated about OS 9 when I moved to the Mac in the late 90s. To me, the shifts under OS X — mostly, the unixy (BSD-y) underpinnings but also changes like the abandonment of the spatial Finder — made it WAY better.
My opinion and advice. If:

1. You can sustain yourself financially for the next 2 years

2. You feel confident in your skills

3. You want to try work on your own thing for a year

Then: Do it!

You likely won't be on your deathbed wishing you'd made more money in that one year.

If you can't satisfy 1. and 2. yet, just work towards that for now.
Anyone can imagine a hypothetical future feature and oppose it. What if Apple one day replaces all my music with Best of ABBA? That would be terrible, but they haven't done or proposed it, so why argue about it?

FYI, all Chinese phones have a mandatory app installed for years, which scans everything on device for these "problems" (as well as CSAM).
The most annoying thing is that everyone denouncing Apple's action still agree that "CSAM" is a problem that needs action by technology companies (and thus decentralized stuff should be illegal). While "CSAM" is a problem, just like any crime, it's completely overblown and much more rare than they pretend it is. NO. The internet doesn't need regulation. Never.

- Most instances of "child abuse" involve something that matches the legal term, but involves teenagers and is almost certainly not abuse

- Lots of conservatives want to punish said teens and anyone involved for sexuality and go along with the sophistry of calling people abuse victims when they have consensual sex or post their nude photos online

- Naturally, there is no incentive to look at naked 5 year olds, because that's not how the human body works. This is an edge case and is what the media makes out to be the norm

Stop pretending to have a "mature perspective". Companies should literally never touch your data unless there is a search warrant. Now that I read this article I'm concerned about what WhatsApp is doing.
Scummy as it may be, they have that right.
Might as well make it legal for police to search our houses at will, as long as they are looking for child abuse images. Doesn’t sound much like the US any more at that point.
Why would you consider those two scenarios analogous? In one scenario, the wind is “giving it a push” constantly, and in the other scenario, you’re giving it a push for only a brief moment.

Nixpkgs recently added support for cross-compilation to M68K[0], so if you want to cross-compile programs to run on this emulator such as GNU Hello, for instance, run

nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A pkgsCross.m68k.hello

You may have to update your Nixpkgs channel for this to work. For larger packages it'll handle cross-compilation of dependencies and linking. See [1].

They are indeed overreaches, but even a valuable child protection law or service might presumably be pushed with an appeal to emotion. It’s better to familiarize yourself with the situation before dismissing it out of hand. While preserving a healthy dose of skepticism, of course.
Do you work with PHI or PII? Should there be a webcam in the home of software developers with much more efficient access to that data? They can dump the entire customer database and sell it to spammers, can call center employees do that?
Interactive Brokers already offers this, so I'm wondering what the actual innovation is here.
I think the trick of this trickle up is that giving money from the 90th percentile (read: affords saving for retirement) to the <50th percentile (read: doesn't afford saving for retirement) effectively gives money to the >99th percentile (read: affords saving into the blackhole of offshore accounts)
So you would be in favor of installing cameras in all homes that detects child abuse, murder, and rape in an automated fashion? It can use microphones to detect people in distress. This would prevent many more heinous crimes than what apple is proposing we do and it will only be used for detecting horrible acts.

By your logic this would be acceptable and we could all still claim to value privacy.

When I saw that - 20.3 million reports - I was like... hold on. Apple's smaller reported numbers are probably almost completely accurate, whereas that 20 million number is almost guaranteed to be mostly wrong.

Who really made the mistake? The one reporting cases that are almost definitely true? Or the one reporting so many false cases that authorities are buried in false reports?
There is no company on Earth who is going to take the side of child pornographers.

Most of the arguments against this ignore the fact there is a legitimate chance that this type of technology will only be used to combat child abuse and not more nefarious purposes.
The whole bill of work is as follows:

* Full external-wall-insulation (180mm thick) with brick slip dressing so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb amidst all the brick houses in the road.

* Triple-glazed windows and doors throughout, replacing single-glazed original units which are at end-of-life.

* 300mm deep loft insulation, replacing poor-quality and patchy 80-100mm insulation.

* Full airtightness sealing (i.e. the house should leak almost no warm air to the outside world), ...with heat-recovering mechanical ventilation so we don't all suffocate.

* Air-source heat pump to replace the gas boiler, driving underfloor heating in place of the wet-circuit radiators.

* 12-panel solar photovoltaic install on the roof (plus batteries etc).

Fully agreed on decarbonizing heating, but it's not an either/or thing, both approaches work and are to some extent necessary. Any heat you're not losing to the outside world doesn't need to be replaced by the heating system, is the theory. Here in the UK, I'm working to AECB (Association of Eco-Conscious Builders) standards: we cant quite hit PassiveHaus without knocking the whole thing down and rebuilding, but we can get pretty close.

There's a whole separate argument to be had about subsidy of electric heating vs subsidy of gas heating, if I recall correctly. A good electric heating system should be just as effective as a gas system, but in the UK it can cost up to four times as much to run because of the current mess of subsidies. That needs sorting out, as well, as telling people they have to pay much more for a somewhat more eco-conscious system isn't going to fly with the general population.
This idea is a breath of fresh air. It reminds me of the discussion of AI: "Will it ever be as smart as humans? Can it ever be AGI?", it's hilarious. We are so stupid, in such specific ways, that AI/AGI will easily be objectively "smarter" than us, it's just that we'll never recognize it as such, because, we're so stupid.

That may be the bigger problem - listening to feedback is a great way to improve. If receiving that feedback makes you feel bad about your work, fix that response. Embrace the feedback as mentoring towards being a better developer, and be thankful for it. Easier said than done, but if you can adopt a positive attitude towards receiving feedback, odds are you'll be more comfortable taking the advice from your manager and get to a place where you both are happy with your work.
Has Apple said this is what they are going to do, or are people just guessing?
I held on to my 8 Plus for little over two years and it remained excellent most of the time -- although I had to replace the battery before reselling it because it was at 83% capacity.

I also always charge my phone overnight even if it's at 70% (which it routinely is) because I've been bitten by going out and about with 60% charge and having to spend 12h outside and my phone died. So I just started conservatively charging it each night no matter what I expected for the next day.

But yes, for most people an iPhone can easily last two full days and still be at 15-20% when you finally plug it in on the second day's end.

> as if it was a plane wing.

This is how nearly all sailing works. Excepting the case of sailing directly downwind, the curve of the sail works like a wing, and the keel provides something to "push" against - the effective "lift" (if it were a wing) drives you forward.

This is why you can sail into the wind at all...
You’re mocking a useful data point: governments operate by the consent of the governed - if you put too much pressure on people, they will replace you democratically or otherwise.
A Franchisor’s job is to mandate things exactly like this. A McFlurry tastes the same everywhere because it’s the same ingredients prepared the same way on the same machine. There may be some issue, and there may even be fraud as you seem confident of, but this isn’t an anti-trust issue. The fast food biz is incredibly competitive, and franchisees have a number of other options.
Serious question: why did Apple bother making that announcement at all? I can't imagine they're naive enough to think it would be good press for them?

They could have done this quietly without telling anyone, maybe with a vaguely-worded update to the terms of service for the next mandatory iOS update that nobody reads anyways.

Tech Interviews: process, preparation and hacks
In reality, these devices are so complex, we really have no clue what they're already doing, and we've only found out about some of the more recent absurd things they're doing due to flaws with their implementations, such as MacBooks calling out to Apple before you can login after wake causing abnormally long wake times when network conditions are less than ideal or you're connected over international VPN, or calling out to their servers every time you launch an app.

They could have not told us this at all, and we wouldn't have found out until some hacker playing around with network interfaces noticed unusual traffic going to Apple's iCloud servers from the bird daemon.

What Apple is doing is distasteful to me, but I'm afraid the market is so poor in comparison, I don't know what else you could purchase besides Dell XPS systems running Ubuntu.

But there's no phone version of that, to my knowledge.
I was at the beginning of my highschool years and being a poker nerd I heard about Andrew Beal, an amateur mathematician and poker player. He offered a prize for a proof of Beal's conjecture, I was learning Pascal and decided to write a program to find a counterexample. Searching different optimization techniques I found a blog where a guy was trying to win the prize for his little girl. After some years, in college (CS) I learned that the guy was Peter Norvig. Great rabbithole.
That's going to be a very long list, but of the top of my head:

1. Much easier repairs since all schematics are known in advance.

2. Price. A lot of the price of the modems comes from licensing fees as others have already noted.

3. Integration. Directly embedding the pcb into your project will be much, much easier.

4. Collaboration. Working together in projects that utilize 4G becomes easier too. Many use cases might get revealed without the original creators intending for them.

5. Security. "More eyeballs on a line of code make bugs run away" and all that jazz.

Only disadvantage might be reverse engineer people might get bored not having enough things to RE :-)
Even without a requirement to proactively scan, Apple is surely expanding its ML stack on photos to categorize and describe photos and persons in them.

I blasted through this video pretty quickly, but it appears to explain things well, including how it's possible for a sailboat to exceed wind speed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJtvGF8vZbE

The cart adds some moving parts, but I am pretty sure that all they're doing is ensuring that the blades' angle of attack is about the same as it would be for a sailboat's sail when it's sailing into the wind, by turning the propeller at an appropriate speed.
All the devices I am aware of offer the ability to turn them off, or even simple, quick options to turn off all notifications. You can even turn off all notifications except phone calls, or even restrict phone call notifications from only certain people.

Nobody is proposing we "not interact with the environment anymore." That is a straw man.

The idea is to mitigate our impact on ourselves and the environment by reducing consumption. We already have widespread understanding that reduction of resource usage is the most environmentally beneficial change we can make.
