The T2 chips were a bold move and probably necessary for Apple as a transition plan. Imagine all the features it provides (Touch ID, secure boot, disk encryption) arriving only with the M1 Macs? Firmware and software needed to see the light of day and be put to test by the millions.

Thanks everyone that ever owned Intel Macs with T2 chips. I am so glad I never owned anything from that generation, and I appreciate your sacrifice. <3

That's only because they couldn't care less what you or I say most almost all of the time.

>The basic premise of the article is that : more data -> more surveillance. Certainly, this could be possible. However, is there a way to collect more data and yet not increase surveillance?

No. Surveillance is the collection of data by a third party.

What that third party does to the data (e.g. whether it sells them to advertisers or not) is irrelevant. Especially if others like governments can also get access to those.

So, anybody curious about bombs and explosions gets on the list at the FBI? I searched that on a number of occasions. Mostly when I was younger and had more spare time. Out of pure curiosity and intention to know everything, also be prepared for postapocalypse (which I, unlike crazy prepper guys, don't consider highly probable yet don't consider impossible either). Never ever meant to use such knowledge during peace time and hoped to never need to use that ever. Just curious. And I believe there are many such curious people and curiosity is not a crime.
I think this is clickbait. The future of tech is really scary and I fully empathise with that. These new societal problems around data tracking, and the ability to process that data do need to be solved, but trying to skirt around problematic technologies when solving user problems is not sustainable.

I think at least articles like this are good because they create a conversation. Many people who read HN are software engineers, and we all collectively bear at least a little responsibility to make good ethical choices around the tech we use and develop.

Lack of understanding by journalists is pretty common across many topics. Many times they oversimplify, don't show the whole picture, and get things wrong. I see it quite often in a variety of stories.
Well yes, but have you ever heard anyone who liked the notch on their phone?

I have one on mine and while I don’t particularly dislike it, I’d certainly rather not have it.

Which is sort of my point in Apple losing touch. They stopped changing things in ways that I ended up liking, and I use myself as a reference because I tend to be rather ordinary in my consumption.

Maybe my anecdotal experience is completely wrong, but I have never heard anyone who were happy about the notch on their phone.
The article is full of particular example of what Apple is doing, and explains how Apple is doing it (collecting more info) while touting "more pricacy".

Matrix bridges are rather complex. They rely on a combination of private APIs (WhatsApp), Chrome extension scraping (LINE), bots (Telegram), mobile clients (Android SMS), and jailbroken iPhones (iMessage).

Hardware synchronization has better properties than software locks: it can't deadlock, is reentrant, won't get screwed up by a process holding a lock dying, and is (supposedly) guaranteed to complete in bounded time. I don't think it's unreasonable that the definition of lock-free ("guaranteed system-wide progress") focuses on the high-level behavior of typical software locks even if it ends up calling things that are still locks in some sense "lock-free".

What if I then draw a triangle on the surface of a sphere with an angle sum of 270 degrees?

All you're saying here is that we've agreed on a principle that implies what you're saying is true. This is the exact same as what the other commenter is saying.
It annoys me a lot when people try to describe a community, specially a completely open one as programming language communities where literally anyone can come an go at any time, as having certain characteristics.

It's similar to when you try to generalize over nationalities. While there may be some small truth in it over very large numbers, there's always going to be plenty of exceptions so that making such generalizations should ALWAYS be considered inappropriate, be it "negative" or not. Even more so when there are large minorities within the community.

I do agree that the RIIR is likely to be one of these minorities, but that doesn't make them NOT part of the Rust community.

Another "minority" in the Rust community that I have noticed a lot in my projects/blog posts is made up of those who are never satisfied with any Rust code: there's always some better way to write something, or some more efficient implementation, and your code definitely sucks... Rust is a very large language with many features, so there's always a lot of ways to do things, but even two extremely highly skilled Rust developers are highly likely to disagree on which way is "the best" for a certain non-trivial design decision... the fear of not using the best alternative and being ridiculed by other Rust developers claiming my approach is bad makes me quite cautious about showing Rust code in any blog post I write.

But I still don't want to claim this is a characteristic of "the Rust community", just like I would hesitate to say "the Rust community is very welcoming".

We probably just need to stop the human impulse to generalize about groups of people, that's all.
I am surprised that at ~100 comments the likes of Notion, Coda, TiddlyWiki haven't come up.

The reason why most artists highly prefer gpus is it gets their cycle time down. Farms often use CPU’s still because of cost and less pressure on a single image render time.

Usually what one does is break the shots down into individual elements rather than render everything as once and then composite it in. Rendering it all in one go can prevent touchups to individual elements. But I am much more VFX than pure animation - I think animation does more one shot one render work.

Funny thing I mostly know what I am talking about.

The first half of your argument makes sense.

Justifying the use of proof-of-work appears to be a fallacy of relevance though
100% agree. One of my neighbors is a big Ham radio guy and it’s reassuring to know that.
I strongly disagree - I'd rather all my users filed their bugs directly on the upstream issue tracker for my projects so that I can get a proper view of what bugs are being encountered. If there are steps to reproduce then most of the time it will be a lot easier for you as the developer to just check if the bug still happens with the latest version than having the user or packager build it themselves. Don't expect users just have a build environment laying around or can quickly set one up. Don't expect that building the latest version is always easy on every distribution.

If its not easy to reproduce or if there are no reproduction steps then sure, ask for more information. It's also OK to refer to a distribution bug tracker if the user is not able to produce a useful report or if you suspect there is a packaging issue, but doing that for all reports of problemsx with distro builds, especially when using automation, is disrespectful of the time the user has spent on reporting the bug. So sure, you can do that (you don't owe users anything after all) but I think its rude and will only turn potental future contributors away. I'm definitely glad that that is not how most projects handle user reports.

If you are being overwhelmed by user reports then maybe you can find some dedicated people from your userbase that would be willing to help with bug triage?

Exactly what so many people are missing. Unlike other car companies, Tesla run almost the whole value chain themselves, from software to hardware. In a way, they're an amalgamation of Blackberry and GM and Exxon and whatever in between. And they're also going into AI robots and home solar.

While these may be hits or misses, they underline the immense market penetration of Tesla. They're not just cars, which is why many investors project a much higher valuation for them in the coming years.

> I don't think there is something inherently bad about social media

Good that that's your opinion, just I hope you have not understood that is the position of the parent post, which wrote «over ten years of "bad school" social networks helped [the decline ... of the concept of "reflection"]». It meant that people have been encouraged to "fast respond", which boosts the diffusion of low quality. Lack of depth, cheap processing...

> the first time people here is when people shape their perception of the event

And duly reflection, the point, is there so that the new informational members in the Weltaufbau are well criticized before getting entrenched.

Why should have «speed [in the time from an event to when people hear about it] ... meant it's harder to get a considered reaction»? One's reaction to information is not really a function of the distance in time of the event in the information. The problem noted is with those ethological drives against «considered reaction».
I was one of those. The bigger - and hidden - advantage to me was that my homebrew power setup (16 solar panels + a 2 KW windmill with a backup generator, and 48 KWh of batteries) was much more reliable than what Ontario Hydro & Power sold.

The fees are one thing, having your freezer contents spoiled a couple of times per year gets old really quickly, and in rural Ontario having a well stocked freezer is not optional. Especially in the winter the power would go out so frequently it was a serious limitation. Coming from NL, where powerfailures are so rare that they make the news when they happen this was one of those little things that I found it hard to adapt to. When the power in Canada fails you are in immediate trouble, your heater and sump pump no longer work, you risk all kinds of follow on damage.

So reliable power wasn't a luxury and it was relatively easy to get that sorted out to a degree that cutting the cord was a logical next step (because a grid connected system is supposed to shut down when the power fails, the only way out is to stop being grid connected).

Apropos high fees: the power company wanted some exorbitant fee for disconnecting us (the opposite of a connection fee), I asked them quite friendly what would happen if I shorted out the wires, 15 minutes later a truck came and someone pulled the road side fuses for free ;)

Tesla clearly deserves a lot of credit but I think the EV space is a lot more fluid than some Tesla proponents would have you believe.

As EV adoption increases into more markets, buyers are going to be more price conscious, and plenty of makers (most of the big companies?) already have a foot in this space. Add missteps with safety or reliability in the long term (see: defrauding the Dutch government and the public about safety) and I think things might change quickly. Tesla isn't going anywhere but the idea that Tesla is the future EV market seems dishonest, naive, or both.
C was a terrible language from day 1. But cheap high-performance compilers were rare until fairly recently, and language ergonomics or expressiveness are hard to measure objectively, whereas "my language is faster on these unrepresentative microbenchmarks" is easy to measure. If unix culture had cared about safety or quality or really anything other than microbenchmarks and the feeling of superiority you get from doing something gratuitously difficult they'd have rewritten everything in OCaml back in the '90s, sure. But kernel developers love the macho culture of being a hardcore elite even more than regular developers, and once you've framed the question "how fast a language should we use?" it's very hard to answer anything other than "the fastest language possible".

Rust is the first decent language that can match C on the silly microbenchmarks. D doesn't, Ada doesn't, and Zig is far less mature than Rust. That's the real reason it's succeeding where previous alternatives failed.
Somebody stealing your phone will likely be able to retrieve fingerprints from it?
Maybe it is too much for a random thief. But what if there are "factories" for treating stolen phones, and random thieves just sell the phones to those factories? (Not saying that happens, but it seems likely to me that such things will eventually exist - down to trying to retrieve bank codes from stolen computers and phones and trying to exploit them).
> Why, if C is so bad, wasnt one of the alternatives introduced to slowly replace C in the kernel years ago?

There are very few alternatives, and even fewer of them gained much popularity, so Rust is an exception here. Being better than C technically is not enough, you need something that other people want to use (and ideally already use). Kernel is more of a social than technical thing.

> if its not Rust it must be broken

That's simply true, especially for operating systems. The amount of safety bugs they have is staggering, even after decades of work, and Rust largely fixes that.
The kernel IMHO needs to be consistent and the tools to build it need to be widely available. Many distributions have everything you need to build the kernel already installed. I think Rust will be a good choice for the kernel when people start talking about Rust software with some new language "X".
>Macs need to cut the Bs and give us upgradable RAM back

PayPal's bug costed me 200$. Have you been affected?
I recently bought some goods on PayPal for around 5000$. And I had configured the PayPal settings to charge my card in the currency of the seller invoice. But PayPal changed the currency of the transaction to CHF(my account currency). That enabled PayPal to take 184$ as currency conversion charges. My card currency is USD. My bank converted the CHF amount back to USD leading to additional charges of 200$. So in the end, I payed around 5400$ for a transaction that should have costed me 5000$.
PayPal accepted that they have a bug in system and refunded me 184$(PayPal conversion charges) back. But the banks additional charges, they don't take any responsibility. I think they should pay me any additional costs that arise due to the PayPal bug.
And the customer service, always asks me to contact the bank. I have atleast spend the last week trying to send email, messages to PayPal customer support without any success.
What do you guys think? Shouldn't they pay me any costs including the bank charges?

A previous thread on an article about stale bots: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25821092

Closing issues automatically is bad enough—I’ve long complained about the stale bot, seeking for it to be discontinued with prejudice as it’s only harmful, literally never helpful (as an issue tracker, that is—it may possibly help maintainers’ mental state because it can facilitate more effective ostrich imitation than just ignoring the issues as they pile up).

Then there’s the GitHub action that has largely supplanted it (and which is what’s actually in the screenshot), which doesn’t just close, but locks (no idea if it’s configurable). A bot to close issues I can understand, people have been copying this misfeature from other sorts of trackers (… where it’s also normally a misfeature) for a long time. But making it lock issues is an even stupider idea than closing, amplifying the problems of closing even further for no reason that I can imagine, and I am baffled that that ever got implemented at all. I think it’s indefensible, but I’m rather curious to hear a defence of it.
