> what a load of horse shit.

no, this is horseshit. don't call me horseshit.

> I willingly choose to be in Apple's ecosystem.

apple is the only "general purpose computing" system on the planet that allows apps but only their approved apps, approve connectivity. this this is, as you say, a load of horse shit. i reassert:

> it's a prison of thought/control imposed on most people

as I said I think freedom costs nothing. what you say offers no counter, no reposte, no reply to this.

you can defend the jailers but I'm not sure why you would? why benefit do you see in keeping such immense gates? why raise the drawbridge so high? why the desire to tell people to buzz off, get the frag out if they don't like it? i don't get any of this attitude, this corporate-punk anti-individual spirit. why must this be zero-sum, you and apple teaming up versus choice, freedom, & capability? you're not the only one- there's an active, hating, negative crowd, booing & downvoting capability & choice. in this one circumstance. it's a wild call, such a call to prevent. unfathomable to me.

everything about this yearn to control & reduce & assert authority feels like manufacturing consent. for control. for fascism. it's hard to figure out what genuine earnest positive intent it could have.
55%? The last I heard (admittedly a few years ago) Apple was less than 20%. Though, maybe that was worldwide.
What are the local rules where you were in Colorado? I thought it was pretty open here.
The Aloft app is good, too. It allows you to get automated approvals from LAANC when you are flying near certain airports.
True. The number of engineers is not linearly correlated with the number of customers, but the number of features. If you have a relatively simple product and you can somehow still compete (niche market, patents etc), you can get away with a very low head count. WhatsApp famously had only 35 engineers and ~450M users when Facebook acquired them.
> But that's not what I'm talking about.

Okay, but is there a reason you're not talking about that, other than that it is bad for your argument?

> Even if we get to the point that the world emits 18 billion tons of CO2 per year instead of the 36 billion we do at present, the climate will continue to warm, and so you'll have spent all this time, money, and effort and still be where we are today anyway.

Warming isn't binary. Dumping twice as much CO2 into the atmosphere isn't the same thing as half.

> So when we're talking about stopping all greenhouse gases and preventing further warming of the planet, you're going to necessarily cripple economic output

Is this just a feeling? Seems unmotivated by the rest.
My understanding is as long as you specify the QoS currently, GCD takes care of it (as it has done for Apple Ax SoCs on iPhone).

Meta has no plans to discontinue the use of facial recognition though: https://www.vox.com/recode/22761598/facebook-facial-recognit...

The story of how Facebook's facial recognition capabilities came to be is an interesting one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeepFace
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face.com

I had no idea that Face.com's algorithm was/is able to ID ~97% of all faces 'in the wild'. Nor did I know that Face.com had opened its API to use by dozens (hundreds?) of companies back in 2007. I wouldn't doubt if there are knock-offs / clones / reverse-engineered versions of the original Face.com API floating around. API security and design - in 200x - wasn't what it is today.
Do you notice any improvement from soaking them overnight to just cooking them slightly longer in the instant pot?
I'd take the perspective that most large company exploits occur because of under-visibility of risk, which ultimately leads to under-funding.

It's easy to say "Our systems are secure and follow all standards" when they aren't and they don't.

It's harder to explain why projects keep coming up with multiple successful pentests or security flags.

Increasing visibility of risk and aligning incentives, with a credible and independent validation party, is the solution.

The biggest gotcha: payment must be for a successful penetration, and must not be for some paperwork flagging of minutiae.
iSH is great on the iphone. Full alpine linux virtualized with x86 (and still somehow fast). Highly recommend
This was do-able in WoW 1.x (prior to 2.0 before TBC launch) in just 3 days, before TBC ever came out (not talking about WoW Classic).

A hunter in the guild I ran (we rolled onto a new server) did exactly that. 3 days. I felt bad for taking an entire week to hit 60, when fifteen members (incl warriors) hit 60 in the first five days.
That depends on how you read it. I read it as maybe we just barely manage to. Also don't EBITDA me, that can be 'adjusted' in many interesting ways.
Yowzers. I guess I’m not surprised. I shot one once just being curious. It felt like driving a Cadillac, but the owner seemed to be struggling to find an actual purpose for it that his film Hasselblad wasn’t a better fit for.
Mobile Safari doesn’t support Web Push notifications, which is a key stumbling block in the way of PWA usage and adoption on iOS.
How would this work? Your leader tells you that vaccines are bad, you are humble so you trust your leader. Outsiders tells you that your leader is wrong, but you are humble so you don't think much about it, others are smarter than you and have thought this through so surely your leader can't be that wrong, so why not trust him?

Humble people don't value themselves and instead refer to authority. That lets misinformation spread since there will always be a lot of badly informed leaders around. The only way to fix that is to stop being humble, start distrusting your leaders and make your own judgements. But of course that would mean some people make the wrong judgement and will still be wrong, but at least since they made their own judgements they can be reasoned with unlike the humble people who never thought about it properly in the first place.
So if a child infects their parent and parent dies but it was avoidable by child vaccination then was vaccinating the child an act of protection or not?

I used to think ruby devs were clowns as a Drupal dev, it was dumb, I have since used ruby a bunch just fine, same with X language vs Y language, it's just humans being humans.
If you want to know where racism comes from talk to a tabs guy about spaces (but only if he uses a Mac and says he does all his development in a text editor). Or a Mac guy vs a windows guy etc.. I used to fall for that junk but I just grew out of it. Give a dev enough time and he'll realize it's all the same just different words and delimiters, and then you can think about bigger things.
I wore contact lenses for 10 years, before getting lasik.

The first time, it took 30 minutes to get them in.

For the first few months, I really struggled. Eventually it got easier, and in a short time I could put them in first time, every time

We're taught from a young age to not put things in our eyes, and it does take time to overcome that. The thought of it might be extremely traumatic now, but if you did it every day, you'd find that disappearing quickly.
This will outlast us, beyond comprehension.

Proton decay, and the death of everything that we can know, is just the beginning.

One might argue that those are costs, not head count. By the same logic we can also assume that they use contractors who bake pizzas for Facebook employees when they order from Domino's.

I guess a somewhat better metric would be "profit per employee" instead of revenue.
As I understand it, it was never about developer's freedom at all. FSF puts user's freedom first and foremost. From that point of view, AGPL makes a lot of sense (even if in practice it is almost exclusively used as a poison pill to sell proprietary licenses).
I've used both. I prefer Vue for the continuity between other projects using CSS. Styled components is fine but it adds just a little more friction and ambiguity.

With Vue I know exactly where the CSS goes. With Styled components, Im still in JS land where things can be defined wherever whilly-nilly as a template string; imported, passed around, and manipulated. It's a small thing, but those add up.
No one cares about how you feel. I want to be able to have the freedom to install whatever I want on a device I have paid for.

As this does not infringe on your freedom in any way, I expect my government to legislate on my behalf to force Apple to do what I want.
I had heard about Shenzhen for some years and then ran across this video and it absolutely blew me away.

My dji mini 2 is one of my favorite gadgets I've ever bought.
In my opinion, the main issues are-

(1) "Competing with the house" - Apple should remove all iAP requirements for apps it competes with. Spotify, Fastmail (because iCloud+ Mail supports custom domains), Kindle/Audible, etc.

(2) Supra-competitive take rates - Google Play Store has moved to 15% across the board. Apple should do the same.

(3) Unnecessary restrictions that are not related to device performance or user safety, and solely related to Apple's revenue streams -- for example, cloud gaming.
I care about a 100W TDP difference in that a cheap cooler will sound like a jet engine, and a powerful cooler will cost more, in addition to a hot CPU making my room warmer.
I'm one of those people who, at any one time, is always dabbling in about 100 things. But as far as what is getting the bulk of my attention the past few weeks:

1. OpenCog[1]

2. SOAR[2][3]

3. Computational Linguistics[4][5]

why?

The unifying element to most of the things I'm learning / researching these days is my interest in AGI. The interest in linguistics is driven by a belief that I hold, that says that language and cognition are tightly coupled in interesting ways, to the point that it makes sense to work on language and other aspects of cognition "hand in hand".

Not to suggest that I think that use of natural language is required for (some forms of) intelligence... but rather I just think language (in terms of internal dialogue / sub-vocalization) is used for some really important parts of human intelligence... Couple that with my notion that - if you want to "exercise" an (purportedly) artificially intelligent system, it makes sense to do it by attempting to converse with it - and you can see how it all leads me to a place where working on language understanding in parallel with other aspects of intelligence makes a lot of sense.

I make no real claim that this is a novel insight, that it is in fact an "insight" at all, or even that any of this is actually correct. It's just where I personally am at with things these days.

doesn't this disrupt normal bluetooth communication? for BT to work, the central and peripheral have to agree to a frequency hopping sequence and a time interval.
Oh bullshit. Next you’re going to say we need genetically-engineered dragons that go around frying cities and devouring maidens! Just out of some delusional idea that the fundamental problem with the world now is that one species has escaped normal population biology due to lack of effective predators and is sending the world off-kilter like the Azolla fern!

How do you idiots come up with these completely unrealistic, historically ungrounded, unphysical unprincipled delusional fantastical notions!?!
You know, the funny thing is; phones got better. Apple's most of all. Batteries got bigger, processors got more powerful. Flash would have sucked on the iPhone 3G; I'd bet it'd be a perfectly pleasant experience on the iPhone 13.

Flash was a fantastic technology. It gave birth to an entire generation of game developers, software engineers, and content creators, and certainly gave many young people plenty of hours of entertainment.

Are we actually better off because Apple killed Flash? Or, is it just that Apple is better off, having killed literally the only web-based gaming technology to ever see mainstream success and secured the gate for the App Store to remain the single source for gaming content on iOS?
i am not an expert, so correct me if i'm wrong..

but not all virus research is "gain of function" right?

what is the advantage of "gain of function" specifically, aside from biowarfare? are we trying to anticipate nature? are there any successful examples?
Holy moly, this set you off.

I don’t know anything about the Mavic 3, but their products overall are actually pretty good and for $1000-2500 you get some pretty amazing capability. Their cameras and optics (Hasselblad clout abuse notwithstanding) are decent for the size, the flight controls and automation are good, the stabilization is unbelievable and the overall quality and fit and finish is really good.

I think if you tried one out for a month you would find use for it.

When you use a site, you’re using servers and they have logs. This is unrelated to the browser itself, although ideally it shouldn’t have telemetry. But even so the servers of sites you use will and you can’t control the data collection.
I had the same procedure on a lower eyelid, but the stye made the eyelid too thick to flip.

An attendant had to force the eyelid down while the stye was lanced with a scalpel.

For some reason, the anaesthetic didn't take effect.

Pain.
I dislike this, trend it seems, of putting the language in the URL -- the Accept-Language HTTP header should be used which can express weighted preferences. Mozilla does use the header but redirects to the language (and product) specific URL which is usually okay for me but bad for sharing (IMO, obviously). But, https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/downthemall/ "works".

For Linux, I believe it will dispatch based on the niceness level and overall CPU utilization - past a certain threshold, it will start putting work at default or higher priority onto the performance cores.

For the Mac, I believe you have equivalent access for scheduling between posix and GCD, but the scheduling configuration is likely way more approachable in GCD.

Also: On M1, there is an added capability to run in a stricter memory model to speed up x86_64 emulation. This only is available on the performance cores, which is one of the reasons people observe non-native code draining the battery quicker.
>You're here, aren't you?

As are you, and you've got way more more failure points than I do. And neither of us is accomplishing a thing here.

The same exact arguments have been had here before, the same exact arguments will be had again tomorrow.

>But also, it doesn't have to be everyone in order to work.

Great. You go right ahead, then, let us know how you do.

>I tried doing all forms of science in the entire world personally but it turns out I didn't have time, so some of it had to be handed off to quite a large number of other people and now we have to have a debate and evaluate each others hypotheses.

But you just said you believed censored information is more likely true than not, simply by virtue of being censored. What's the point in referring to science if you're not going to trust it as authoritative? On what basis are you evaluating hypotheses? Moh's scale of edginess?

>Science is a process, not a result.

Arguing on the internet is not science, at best it's politics. The scientists are already doing the science. The internet has rejected the science and is drinking horse piss and bleach instead because a Facebook meme told them to.

And science does reach results. Relativity is a result. The earth being more round than flat is a result. Germ theory winning out over miasma theory is a result. Science as a process moves in a direction that validates some claims and invalidates others. It doesn't move in an endless circle.

>Who decides this? What happens when they get it wrong?

This is one of the most insufferable thought terminating cliches I've ever seen on this site. It gets applied to everything but it doesn't mean anything. Must there always be a singular, authoritative and objective source of truth for anything to be decidable? The universe is fundamentally uncertain.

I decide. You decide. The owner of the venue decides. Society decides. The law decides. Whomever wants to decide decides because opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, and most are full of shit. And what if they get it wrong? What if they do? People get things wrong all the time, but eventually the truth will out, we move on.
This product page is phenomenal. Kudos to the frontend engineers, designers, and artists.
A point that is not immediately front of mind in these discussions is that Gzip/brotli makes these comparisons moot. Similar strings will be referenced with a pointer and take basically zero extra bits down the wire. That's one place where tailwind get's a huge boost. It's a ton of repetitive code that compresses extremely well.

If you use a plugin to sort your class names like Headwind[0] then it can be optimized even further.

I have a Mavic Pro from a few years ago. Still runs like a champ.

The biggest draw for me to get a new one at some point would be the flight time per battery. My Mavic Pro gets ~20 minutes and the newer ones seem to get ~30 or more.

Not a huge deal with a bank of batteries, but it will be nice ones my drone eventually kicks the bucket.
Especially sobering when those 5 million dead preempted death by other causes! Meaning that people weren't surviving long enough to die by influenza or motorcycle accident.
That’s awfully optimistic. Humans evolved out of nature and into culture— and culture is only a millisecond old on the evolutionary timeline. All evidence points against a Star Trek future and instead a future of perpetual dismal decline. As climate change shows, humans may be clever as individuals but they can’t even compare to ants as an intelligent collective species

> and averaging both sides of the same issue together will always yield 50%.

This is a strong assertion you keep making that doesn't hold water. The flat earth hypothesis, for example, doesn't become true simply because someone has banned discussion of it.

Your assertion, unless I'm misunderstanding it, implies that any topic dang steps in to say "please stop posting about this" is true. And since he steps in to stop people discussing both sides of flamewar topics, your assertion implies that the positions held by both sides must be true, even when they are factually opposed, which is obviously impossible.

There's definitely a flaw in your reasoning, sorry. :(
I actually don’t think this is an inflammatory comment, for humans, though I appreciate the sibling poster’s guidance about better engagement. I think it’s totally reasonable to assume that a Chinese company is anti-human by default and I think you’re concern trolling. $0.02.
Extinction is permanent.

There are also lots of spirals like this that lead to rapid population collapse.

The thing that scares people about climate change is that we don't know when humans will be caught in one of those collapses, but we know that it will happen eventually. There are lots and lots of species that we need to sustain billions of humans.
Same. They just jeep the hammer down and push the envelope. Skydio is the only challenger I’m aware of and they have a lot of work to do to catch up.

With that said, there is a huge M1 hype on HN. It reminds me of the 64-bit ARM hype when someone benchmaked encryption (because ARMv8 has AES instructions) and everyone were made to belive that the new iPhone would be 3-4 times faster.
And if its anything like my regular M1, it does that while remaining cold. I used a 2019 macbook pro and the thing would be roasting hot if you had docker running.
Or is it is the right thing to do regardless the inevitable political cost?

This is a virus new to the human biome. We know nothing about its long-term effects on the human body. We know that the CCP took political and economic risks in trying to shut it down in the big cities in early 2020–actions that indicate this virus is a phenomenal threat. We know that in a fair few countries, the virus is chewing through the population and overwhelming hospitals and morgues.

All signs point to this novel virus being some really bad news for human lifespans. It…fucks the body up in quite a few ways, in quite a few people. It’s not a harmless new virus.

So maybe it’s just me, but I can see a POV where it’s not about “power and control”, it’s about preventing a staggeringly huge number of people from being incapacitated or impaired or relatively short-lived.
