> The harder you make it for them to edit, the less volunteers you’ll get.

I'm not sure I like OSMs obsession with the data model. I guess this has to do with its business model, but then let's not pretend the product manager is tasked to optimize for end-users.

I'd like it to focus on the UI. The easier it is to input a geographic thingie and the easier it is to visualize the geographic thingie, the better OSM both for users and volunteers.

Two issues to strengthen my point:

1. The osm-tag mailing list regularly discusses how tags are visualized in various renderers when recommending which to choose.

2. Quick mobile-based correction are nearly impossible with OSMAnd. I'd love to take a picture and write a quick note like "speed limit changed", so that someone (perhaps a bot) can pick this up and update the data model. Same with restaurant opening hours. Or various POIs.

Modular laptops currently exist, and have existed in multiple incarnations over their entire existence. They always flop in the mass market.

People in the tech community want modularity and upgradability. But you must remember that tech forums are tiny bubbles. The mass market overwhelmingly DGAF.

If you want to be successful at selling laptops to a tiny market, it is possible. You will have a company that looks like Framework or System76.
They tried the classic strategy of making it invite-only (and iPhone-only) at first, and while this did work initially, I think it also established a culture of elitism that made me never want to install the app.

That and I'm busy. I don't have time for appointment listening.
What do you propose, then? Should they just not say anything at all? Or is your contention that the product should not even exist?
By that logic, allowing more than 2 byte allocations is a mistake.
If I were to call information we use (as humans) to become an adult "training data" it would be seeing the world, eating baby food, getting spanked, falling in love, etc... is, in my opinion, something else. It's not training data. It's a completely different kind of conditioning. I think for us to call "training data" and the complete social evolution of a single human mind the same thing is ridiculous - AT THIS TIME. I'm not saying NNs (or some future AI tech) is NOT capable of reaching this status - but that's General AI.

I haven't been reached out by OpenAI 5 in Gmail saying hey do you want to play a game of Dota 2 with me? It hasn't called me on the phone wanting to hang out. It's completely different.

When those things happen we can talk but the original poster and myself are predicating this on "CURRENT AI" not theoretical AI.
That's completely false. I've worked in both the media buying and inventory side of advertising and the large accounts definitely care about the quality of audience. Nike, Apple, Nestle etc have huge internal agencies that are tasked with finding brand safe platforms to advertise against.

The type of attribution based advertising you are talking about certainly also exists whereby the advertiser pays $x per (milli)impression, then a further $x for click-thru and then a final $x for a conversion. However the vast majority of twitter's revenue is in the first bucket (CPM) which is entirely valued based on the size and quality of the audience.
History shows that humanity has not gone extinct even without compensation.

So ROI is infinity, without comp.

It's finite with comp. And note that I'm not even saying the right level is zero.
They do support NVMe, but only 4 lanes at PCIe 1.0 speeds. Seems like a waste to spend $$$ on storage that will only be partially used by a $$ board.
Pro motion displays have only ever been available on devices with the “pro” moniker, there was never a chance of the MacBook Air getting it.
I live in Japan, I don’t really find most day to day architecture to be “stunning” but on the other hand I think it remains aesthetic thanks to the people and the integration of the whole urban form, not its individual buildings. Western cities usually do have nicer looking (but less functional) architecture.
It’s because Rosetta is able to do AOT compilation for the most part. So it actually converts the binary rather than emulating it at run time.
Surely it would be better to save one's passionate hatred for things that actually rise to that level, such as things that hurt people who can't just choose an alternative. I prefer to think of mere differences between operating systems as neither good nor bad, just different, and use whatever is most practical in any given circumstance, while trying not to get emotionally worked up about its downsides.
Why? Unofficial ports work OK. Besides, imagine how efficient Windows on ARM software would be if it was developed on a Rpi
It could be the case they want to keep at least one machine with touchbar on the market for some poor souls who have invested in it.

Same logic for how they keep the iPhone SE with a physical home button.
(1) Sometimes good notetaking apps get ruined over time. I was a fan of Microsoft's OneNote for a while until they stopped saving notes in a well-documented XML format and kept all the data in the cloud. Microsoft also worked hard to kill OneNote by shoving it up every orifice of the Windows 8 user: print something? the default it is to save the printout to one note? Look for an application on the taskbar? Microsoft shoved three icons for OneNote onto the taskbar?

Microsoft never seems to learn that this behavior is perceived as harassment and that if they push a product too hard, even a great product, people are going to be angry that OneNote is opening when they wanted to print something to the printer, all they are going to think is OneNote is crap and they want nothing to do with it.

(2) Personalized full-text search is a tough problem, since Google came out nobody has been satisfied with the results they get from other full-text search products.
No, not falling into "Be afraid! Be very afraid! Pray they don't alter the agreement any further!" is not how we slip. That's how we keep from collecting our own urine in jars on a shelf. I mean, live how you wish, but there's got to be a lot of shit falling to place quickly before I'd worry about a potential employer somehow getting my heart data.

It's also in poor form, when someone gives an honest answer to an honest question, to reply with "yeah, well, you're doing it wrong".
Do you have suspend to ram with working audio when it comes back? That's my final hurdle.
While I doubt there's a lot more Twitter could be doing to combat bots, it would be great to see more transparency. I hope the government (either state legislatures, congress, or the FCC) is able to drive some progress there.
This article was amazing! I struggled through learning to use ffmepg as a C++ library, and then I found out how restrictive their licensing was and about mpeg patent laws which was a huge bummer. I'm building a video editor for mathematical animations, it's open source and I wanted to distribute a single executable as a paid option if you don't want to compile it yourself. Unfortunately this is borderline impossible with ffmpegs restrictive licensing.

It looks like AV1 will be a great replacement, and seems like it will be widely supported in the future. The BSD-3 license also seems way more permissive, which is a huge plus. Does anyone have any experience using it as a library? I'll definitely be experimenting with it, but I wanted to see if anyone else had a good experience with it as opposed to ffmpeg or something :)

Edit: I just wanted to add that my mis-capitalization of ffmpeg is completely intentional ;)
If you start by assuming people only spend a small fraction of their workdays actually doing work, it seems very reasonable that the same amount of work could be achieved in shorter times.
Whoever supplies your news. I hope they pay your health insurance.

I don’t know where you live or what goes on around you. But people are probably not as evil or greedy as you think.

Though if you believe the headlines, everybody probably should be hanged, and the planet would be better off without all of us.

It’s almost funny that this philosophy sells as well as it does. People rather will the “nothing” than give up willing, said Nietzsche. Like the kids in kindergarten rather destroying the toy than letting the other have it.

I believe it’s not greed we need to look out for. It’s envy. The ability to not waste your time focusing on things you hate, and to rather apply your intelligence and your humanness where it mashes a difference, and does good for others.

Though that’s a lot more difficult than passing judgement. Especially when there is an entire industry supplying you with bite sized pieces that allow you to pass judgment, around the world, across social boundaries, and from the comfort of your bathroom even. Make you feel all special and important... while they FEAST on your SOUL.
> For me, its enviromentally insane to buy such a device that is nearly unrepairable.

I would generally feel the same, the only reason I don't is that Apple laptops tend to last a very long time for me and get replaced due to becoming obsolete, not due to becoming nonfunctioning. My 2011 MBA was in use until 2016, my 2015 MBP is still in use and due to be replaced soon. The lifespan of one of these devices is roughly 5 years in my use case, and I usually hand them down to someone else that needs a decent computer but where my use cases have outgrown it. I know one I handed off is still being used 10 years after it was purchased and it still works "fine" for some value of fine.

That's not an argument against repairability, but to say that a well-made product often has a longer lifespan than a useful lifespan for its original owner.
The browser and the OS credentials managers essentially obsolete the third party password manger so that part is sort of 'solved'. Integration between the browser and OS one (with sync) is quite a bit trickier but the real blocker is that Apple and Google aren't much interested in solving it. The terawatts of brain power that went into the anonymized COVID tracker phone thing which turned out to be largely pointless could be applied to this, it just doesn't feel very likely.

If you look at their ROC-AUC, performance increases dramatically as resolution increases. Do you really think it's impossible to encode any information in 16 pixels?
This is true, but that one display can be a 49" 5120x1440 ultra wide and it will drive that with no problems.
It runs perfectly. It may not be fair to criticize for lack of major updates. I don’t much like Python but I have bought both versions of Pythonista-really a nice product.
Counterpoint: Many American parents spend a large portion of their time simply shuttling their kids between home, school, and other activities, because none are within walking distance and buses are all but absent in most places.

I'm now raising my kids in the Bay Area, and I'm fortunate because the kids' schools are within walking distance, but that's a luxury not enjoyed by most people around here.
I mean I wouldn't want to splurge for an expensive display with such an underpowered device, so people with unused VGA monitors seems like a good target market for this device.
Apple probably could support 10 displays off of M1 Ultra, but I guess they decided to leave some displays for the rest of us.
I prefer my dual displays--I think. But there are definitely a ton of "power users" of various kinds these days who prefer a single large (often curved) display. I really thought about it a bit back and decided to stick with dual displays but I see the arguments for not having to deal with moving windows between monitors, etc.
I write C# code by remoting to a $2k machine, however, iPadOS 16 got me hyped for the fact that I can take my old Mac Mini give it to my mom and just use my M1 iPad on my 43 inch 4k monitor to do mundane stuff as logging into work via VPN, run RDP, run Teams and use it as my "desktop".

All I need now is a decent terminal for iPad OS AND some kind of USB-C hub to allow charging AND display out the same time.
Do any hypervisors support this yet? (i.e. can I try it out right now?)

> Safari 16 introduces a re-architecture of WebKit’s accessibility support on macOS that delivers improved performance and increased responsiveness

This is a magnitudes more important improvement and pushing the web forward than pretending that whateverworkers are a thing that is usable beyond very few convoluted examples (even if those examples end up running in production somewhere)
This actually I do agree, USA food are almost tasteless on everything.
I for one love charging with USB-C. By now I have USB-C cables laying around a few different places in the house, and can charge almost anything at any one of them. No going to the other room to get the cable.

That’s what the MBP 14/16 are for. Unless you’re editing video though, it’s unlikely you’ll notice a difference.
That's a lot of anger you're packing around there for an operating system lol
Ya but it's the same amount. Wew my files load marginally faster, but I can only have 5 of them for the same money that I used to be able to have 10. That's like telling someone who can't get a new van with similar features for the same price to instead get a one wheel
MacBook Air is that.
"Sign in with Apple" does have a very bare-bones OIDC flow in the browser on non-Apple devices/browsers. That flow takes you through a typical Apple Cloud login flow with Apple ID email and password and usual 2FA if it's the first time on that browser/device.

To meet bare minimum requirements sites like Calm.com often only show the "Sign In with Apple" button for iOS and iPadOS user agents. You can sometimes fake an iOS/iPadOS user agent and get the buttons to show up and then switch the User Agent back to get the boring in-browser OIDC flow.

As an iOS/iPadOS but Windows PC user I find it frustrating how many websites intentionally hide that button in other browsers, just when dealing with my own accounts.

I feel like Apple could maybe do a better job of education here: "please don't hide the button on non-iOS/iPadOS user agents". I hope Apple has strong developer education plans for Passkey.
According to StatCounter, macOS only has 15% of the global desktop market share.

The Touchbar in the 13" MBP counts as a display. So the Pro already runs 2 displays and can add a third. The same GPU+CPU is in the MBA which only runs 1 + 1 external display. It't not a limitation of GPU or whatever they want you to believe. This is pure market segmentation.
If you've got external users, I'd go cloud.

Hardware dies unpredictably. The cloud providers have figured out how to be highly resilient to it.

If you use your own hardware, there's a XX% chance you're going to have a really bad day sometime in the next year.
How does this impact 1Password going forward?
It's useful for "native" web-based apps, both on mobile devices and things like Electron. But for regular browsers: yeah nah. Although, for some things like Telegram web or email it could be useful; the problem here is (as always): how do you allow the useful uses without the twats moving in to engage in their twattery?

I never heard of this before though, but turns out it's been in Firefox since 2016. I did set "always deny" for notifications a few years ago as I got so tired of all the sites whining about it, so I guess that includes these push things too(?) Sites still whine about it with in-site popups of course if they see that permission is denied... Sigh...

When looking it up a bit for this comment I found this description that I found somewhat amusing:

"Web push notifications allow users to opt-in to timely updates from sites they love and allow you to effectively re-engage them with customized, relevant content."

Lotsa words for "allows you to spam them ads".
Yeah, they seem to treat their desktop machine differently.
Confounding why this is continuing. Is there that much remaining inventory?

Internet connectivity brings opportunity to remote Colombian region
This is great news.

One of the biggest advantages native apps have had over websites is the ability to send notifications.

This difference has disadvantaged individuals and companies that find themselves needing to invest in both having a website and a mobile app, and discouraged investment into good web experiences. As websites can finally provide experiences and leverage notifications as well as apps have been able to, I think we’ll see the quality of the web improve considerably.
Damn, that's the single feature I want them to add most.

Literally only for porn—I doubt I'd ever have noticed the feature was missing, otherwise—but still.

My guess is just different displays selected for products at different stages in their hardware lifecycle. The MBP shares a case dating to before M-series processors. The M2 Air is new hardware.
> Users opt into notifications by first indicating interest through a user gesture — such as clicking a button. Then, they’ll be prompted to give permission for your site or app to send notifications. Users will be able to view and manage notifications in Notifications Center, and customize styles and turn notifications off per website in Notifications Settings.

Looks like there will be some interaction required to prompt it.

That being said, hoping there's a browser-level option to just turn it off.
Yes thank you I know that the federal government was reimbursing local schools during the pandemic. That's the entire point of this article.

However, education is at the state level, not the federal level. Individual states should fund their own school lunches as needed.
> I'd love to take a picture and write a quick note like "speed limit changed"

This can be done with StreetComplete (Android app) - long press on map to create note, photo can be added.

> Same with restaurant opening hours. Or various POIs.

You can also outright survey this with StreetComplete. See https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete

Note: speed limit needs to be enabled, it is disabled by default. It is also unavailable in USA due to horrific default speed limit system which requires massive work to support.

> I'm not sure I like OSMs obsession with the data model.

Given effort that went into various parts - fundamental data model has not received any changes for a long time. I would not describe it as obsession.

OSM do not really have business model, it is not a business
> I think it's a great feature that let's apps like ProtonMail not require a desktop app.

For many users, being forced into web-only non-native cloud “apps” is not actually feature.

Especially for something like end-to-end ostensibly client-side encrypted e-mail.
Those solutions don't "exist". Not in the sense of practical, proven and implemented technology...

You can say those solutions exist in a similar way warp engines exist.
>Apple’s big advantage in the early days was its color display, but this advantage was shattered with the appearance of the Atari computers, whose graphics far outshone that of the Apple.

I have a recent direct comparison between the two, Prince of Persia. The Atari port is recent:

Speech is not "a technology", it is a natural human ability. Our ability to form thoughts in the form of language and then communicate them (through speech or other ways, such as sign languages) is very likely of the same nature as our ability to see and interpret the world as objects.

Note that children do need interaction to learn to speak, but it is not taught to them in the sense that writing is, it is a natural instinct that they need social interaction to exercise (and they of course need to learn a particular firm of speech, i.e. one or more spoken or signed languages).

Though such experiments can't be carried out because they would risk being monstrous, it's quite possible that a group of babies growing up together with no spoken or signed interactions from their parents would still create a language of their own.
I've been trying to live with KDE 5 on Debian 11 and Fedora for about half a year. I don't know if the signatories had this in mind, but on both OSes the GUI experience is a sad, bug-ridden quagmire that would make a your stereotypical Windows Power User from the early 00s OS wars die of laughter. Just a different sampling of bugs on each.

I hope there exists a stable release of KDE and the OS vendors learn to ship it.

But maybe I'll just resurrect my .fvwmrc from the 1990s while I wait.
Software video code/decode is extremely expensive.

It's actually a serious issue for sales these days, we have a compute expensive product that can't be demo'd effectively over zoom.
Am I the only one who just ignored the touchbar and didn't take it as a personal affront?
That is a very fair reason for structuring it that way. I agree that there is, to some extent, more overhead for the developer who normally works on and maintains the code base. However, I feel like it is easier as a reader to understand what a service does and how to integrate with it having all of the paths in a centralized location.

How do you normally think about making that information discoverable in your webapps?
I can really agree on the first point but know too little about the second one. It is indeed a problem but i think in most cases keywords or tags should be enough to implement. Im not sure but even full text search should not take that long for plaintext/md notes.
When I grew up, we didn't have food market close, except for breakfast. Grocerying was constant pain when the weather was not perfect, like too hot, too cold, or raining, snowing etc.
Despite these improvements, it's not enough to replace M1 Pro when considering the price/performance
My X1 Yoga from 5 years ago still answers all the above, IMHO. I replaced the battery (myself) about a year ago. Build quality is great, and I think you can even get it preinstalled with Ubuntu. If you're not into the touchscreen-yoga thing, the X1 Carbon is pretty similar.
I strongly suspect it isn't standards conforming USB-PD
> You're not in the minority for thinking this, there was some serious journalistic miscarriage there. To a lot of people, Intel and AMD are the whole world and if it doesn't affect AMD then it's Intel-only. Even people in journalism.

As I recall, the initial investigation focused on Intel, AMD, and some ARM implementations, so that was what was reported; I personally didn't attempt to follow up on any subsequent investigations on other architectures, so I was unaware of any specific results on SPARC et al, good or bad.

The federal government isn't directly involved with local education. States should be in charge of this, as they always have been. We need not bloat the federal budget further. Individual states are more than capable of funding themselves, as they always have.
