There's something to be said for knowing you're using the best available app for something. Obviously, if that means keeping better apps out of the pool, that's a failure. However, one near-guarantee with 200,000 calculator apps is that whatever app you are using is suboptimal: you are definitely not using the one that would work best for your use cases, flow, comfort, or whatever. For some people, none of that matters. For others, the FOMO wears on them.

There are two (2) species of spider in the US that are "dangerous": Brown recluse and black widow.

And that's it. There is no number three. You only need to learn to identify those two, because no other spider's bite is medically significant in the US unless you happen to be allergic (which some fraction of people are, to be fair).

Half your work is done because you probably already know what a black widow looks like; they are quite distinctive. (They also tend not to hang out in human living spaces like brown recluses do. Black widows prefer garages and barns.)

Both species are quite shy and rarely bite people. Most bites happen when the spider gets trapped between clothing and skin and it bites because it thinks it's about to be crushed. Neither species will chase you or jump on you.

There are spiders that will jump on you. They're called jumping spiders. They are harmless, quite cute, and make good pets. Unlike most spiders, jumpers have excellent eyesight and they will chase a laser beam like a cat.
Probably a confluence of many things, but the list is:
* Ive been at the company for over 15 years
* The local job market (Bay Area) is (was?) quite hot, and the company is not a sexy silicon valley destination that attracts talent.
* The company could not match the FAANG companies, and some folks had already jumped ship
* The raise from my annual view was less than desired. When it was clear that more salary was not an option, a got creative and asked for an equally valuable asset... my own time.
* Top it off, my boss is fantastic
Same, I Parsec into my machine at the office using my dual screen 1440p monitor set up at home, the latency is incredibly good, so good sometimes I forget I'm using a remote machine. I was skeptical of it at first, but now I am a convert - it works very well for coding as well as gaming stuff.

Yup, 12 megapixel (x3 cameras).

The best (available to normal consumers) full-frame cameras are under 50 megapixel.

Makes me think the 200 megapixel camera in the phone is a bit of a scam. At best a completely ridiculous and mostly meaningless number.
> As someone working in AI research

Being in the tail end of my PhD, I want to second this sentiment. I'm not even bullish on AGI (more specifically HLI) in 50 years. Scale will only take you so far and we have to move past frequentism. Hell, causality research still isn't that popular but is quite important for intelligence.

I think people (especially tech enthusiasts) are getting caught in the gullibility gap.
But a submarine doing what a submarine does is a tautology. What people are really grasping at is can a machine be human? And pinning down what it means to be human seems very important to ruminate on. Can machines think? Cogito, ergo sum...
> housing and medicine have shown us are that wholly free markets

Both of these examples are some of the farthest things from free markets. Try to build an apartment complex and run a medical service on the ground floor. Them being so far from free markets is the reason they're so expensive.

We created https://www.glideapps.com/ for the niche apps that people want, but Apple doesn't!

Also powered by Google Sheets, as OP's app is.
I like my Picoscope, beware it has no display or physical controls, it’s entirely computer controlled. It’s very small physically if that’s what you meant.
The old problem of induction. It's interesting how many of the AI accelerationist crowd are (purposefully pretending to be) unaware of it.
I still don't understand. That presuposes that the AGI will just materialize out of thin air, and immediately have human level intelligence. That once day you just have a bunch of dumb computers, the next day you have an AGI hell-bent on escaping at all cost.

That's not going to happen - even Carmack believes so. The process to get AGI is going to take a long time, and we'll go through lots and lots of iterations of progressively more intelligent machines, starting with ones that are at toddler-level at best. And yes, toddlers are little monkeys when it comes to escaping, but they are not a global world ending threat.
Every developer does, but I doubt that's the case for users. They like the App Store, true, but few of them are aware of what kinds of barriers Apple places to new apps there.
The capability is there in Linux. I use it myself now and then.

With regards to the Mac, MacOS is BSD-based. BSD UNIX has had that capability and the required software for decades. So ... the capability is there. The software 'app' probably isn't. It would probably only need the installation of several packages.

MacOS is a downgrade from the underlying BSD UNIX that is its foundation.
Ratings and reviews are localised. I see different ratings and reviews than you.
Especially now that you can add a website as an icon to the home screen and it largely feels like a real app.

Hope they're getting a good compression ratio or coming out with TB sized hard drives.
Ah, so Reddit for example should not be allowed an app?
Not necessarily. I have one child in college and one entering college next year. Things get expensive real fast in this life stage.
People have career and ego incentives to overestimate the constraints of the environment they're working in, and will use lazy heuristics like rounding some number to "a lot" and assuming that it justifies pulling out all the stops. Computers are fast. One or a few of them can accomplish quite a lot. Some people really do exceed those limits, and godspeed to them, but even in the companies they work at, the vast majority of applications do not.
Getting someone to invest in your idea is also a good way to demonstrate to others that your idea is worth investing in, a signal that isn't nearly as strong as when you invest in it yourself.
It's not hard to comprehend. Apple has a huge pool of apps to deal with. Enforcement is inconsistent. There are apps that are being overpoliced while bait-and-switch scams are floating to the top of the ratings.

Hmm, interesting! I might be remembering wrong, but I remember within the last decade being told by a coworker that it was required for proper Windows support, but maybe that was just an old version of Visual Studio from XP or something that no longer needs to be supported.
I mean, you can look for network traffic between giving it a file and closing the tab…
Zoho works fine for me, and the free tier is all I currently need.
I mean, clearly not, the app is now published. And who are you to say, in any case? If Apple had a bar, it's up to them to know what it is and enforce it.

Parent comment never said Apple had a problem with the concept, but that the execution was "too simple". Once enough functionality was added, the app seemed to be approved.
It’s a beta, this is not shocking in any era of Apple, just access and expectations have jumped ahead.
International English. I like the L shaped return key. To type, for instance, ö, ó or whatever, I just press and hold the o key and select the adequate version with a number.
OK thanks for the advice. Dad is that you?
I agree. I’m surprised Safari of all browsers doesn’t at least provide an option to obscure this.
This is inevitable for all coins with published public keys, which all the early coins are. So, e.g. all of Satoshi's coins. For coins where the public key is hashed, perhaps not inevitable.

Depending on how you look at it, it's either the built-in doomsday for Bitcoin, or it's a built-in multi-billion dollar bounty for exposing the existence of a quantum computer capable of cracking the private key given a Secp256k1 public key (that's the EC curve bitcoin uses).
>Has he ever been drastically wrong

Has he ever made a prediction with as drastic a consequence and transformative potential as the one he is currently making about AGI?
Actually, is there any track record of predictions he has made and how they have panned out?
Unlike the other two, Google used to be good about avoiding walled gardens and simply monetizing services provided on open platforms. Buzz was federated. Gchat was federated. Android lets you run what you want. Chrome never stagnates and actively builds new features to make the web more useful. Then Google+ (instead of Buzz on pubsubhubbub), Hangouts Chat (instead of XMPP) and now Google Chat (instead of Matrix) came along with the Facebook and Apple style walled garbage dump lock-in.
I did the same, originally planned on UniFi but since i couldn’t get any i tried Omada. It’s very nice, the only issue i’ve had is my mesh not connecting, but i solved that by reorienting the target AP and boosting the source APs radio. I think i have some tuning left though because my devices don’t switch APs as fast as i’d like.
Does that mean 200MB sized image files?
Yes we are going back to symbolism, , ontologies and causality. Which is a good and healthy sign. It was abandonned the same way neural networks were at some point. Now that it becomes practical at scale, we can combine them all.
My friend, it's possible you are about to get Apple'd. That is to say, Apple may steal your idea and publish an app just like this, because it really is a great idea.
I have a relevant story here. The inventor of the Shazam algorithm, Avery Wang, gave me a demo of it within a couple weeks of it being created. Here is the backstory (partly from personal knowledge, partly relayed by Avery).

Avery had gotten his PhD from CCRMA at Stanford under Julius O Smith. His PhD had been on the topic of automatically ("blind") recovery of individual vocal/instrument tracks from a final mix. From there he joined a startup, Chromatic Research, where I was also at. He created lots of code and patented some algorithms related to resampling and MIDI synthesis, stuff like that. Avery was (and is) a super nice guy, humble but incredibly smart -- he could work not only with the high level mathematics but was also equally excited to fine tune assembly code.

After Chromatic folded, Avery had been struggling to get his own startup off the ground. About the same time, the Shazam guys had the idea for the product but didn't know how to create the algorithm. They approached Smith at CCRMA looking for someone capable of creating something that worked. Smith suggested they try Avery Wang.

At first Avery said, "Hmm, that seems difficult, but let me think about it." Within a week he had a demo running on a few thousand songs he had gathered from CDs. I'm sure a lot of refinements went into it after that, but the core idea took him a weekend.

[ All factual mistakes above are due to me and 20 year old memories -- if I misrepresented something it certainly wasn't due to Avery telling me something that wasn't true ]

It's an interesting difference of opinion. There are those who believe natural rights are naturally conferred to the individual, and others that believe rights are conferred by society.

These two personality types often clash harshly, because one sees society as having no right to interfere with his rights and the social rights person sees the dissenting individual as having no right to abstain from the "social contract" that they at best agreed to merely by being born and remaining in the boundary of many members of that society.

In the earlier days, the US was far more individualistic, at least in the Western territories. There was some hope for the more individualistic rights leaning individual. Now I'm not sure what our last bastion of hope is from persons who don't recognize us as having any rights without dear government.
That’s a bit alarmist.
Relatively few companies have the scale or the efficiency for it to be profitable to hire engineers at Silicon Valley wages.
Can someone please explain like we are fifteen why AGI is impossible, at least right now? Or if not AGI, then something similar to a cat/etc mind?

As far as I am imagining it, current models are pipelines of various trained networks (and more traditional filters in the mix) that operate like request-reply. Why can’t you just connect few different pipelines in a loop/graph and make an autonomous self-feeding entity? By different I mean not looping gpt to itself, but different like object detection from camera vs emotion from a picture based on some training data. Is it because you don’t have data what is scary or not, or for a completely different reason?
The term AGI means "artificial general intelligence", it does not mean human-like intelligence. So it being incomprehensible to us does not preclude it from being an AGI.
I do expect it if we want AGI to have appropriate emotions. We know emotions are sometimes created by cognition, and often created by chemical processes. This will have to be incorporated into the model somehow if we want to have human-like intelligence.

However, AGI doesn't need embodiment in order to be useful. In fact, it might be detrimental. I believe AGI will happen much sooner than embodied AGI.

We're assuming here that the site owner wants to push the image.; Having the client request a different image as a follow-up based on the user's preferences is a different solution, and there are lots of specific ways to do that.
> Biology is not necessarily the only path to intelligence.

True.

> Modern ML has diverged very far from biomimetic approaches at this point.

I agree but my take on this is different: it just lays bare how simplistic modern "ML" is. And I put "ML" in quotations because most "ML" is really just statistics.

If you accept the premise that ML is a highly simplified version of the one model of sentience we have that works (and you might disagree with that) then that just puts us even further from AGI. Why? The information/entropy in the system.
If there were no iDevices, the developers would make their apps for more open platforms instead. Don't pretend the apps just wouldn't exist at all.

I have a pixel 5 that did this accidentally once while charging at night. I got a call with a blaring ring tone from 911 asking if everything was OK.

Cannot speak for the environmental but DWR is usually contains either wax, silicone or fluorocarbon. The latter is I think the more durable of the three.

DWR on outer clothing layers such as shell works in tandem with inner PU or PTFE membrane that has pores ranging that are large enough to allow water vapor out but small enough to block non vaporized water.

So why do we need the DWR layer at all?

I haven't mention it so far, but this combination of DWR layer + Membrane is the basic setup for WP/B (Water Proof Breathable) garments, but the membrane layer by itself in most case should provide the most breathability and water protection, however it's such a flimsy layer that it'll be anything but durable. That's one reason why we need at least an external protection layer. Okay, but why should it be DWR? Imagine that we had a cotton layer on the outside. why, it could provide good protection to the membrane and could wick vapors too. The problem of course starts when the outside becomes wet, either by rain or by over sweating. Then the membrane could be as good as it can get, starts to buffer vapor, that vapor soon accumulate as sweat and everything breaks.
The idea with DWR is to remove the "queue" of vapor as efficiently as possible - let it bead and drop, making room for more vapor to go out.

That sounds great, however, DWR finishes break down, mostly due to abrasion and if not renewed (and DWR renewal only works to some degree), it end up being regular waterproof shell at best.
Why do I say "at best"? because the problems do not end here — the membrane itself, in this setup, comes in direct contact with your body, it absorbs fats, salts, sun screen and who knows what, which clogs it, and over time, if not cleaned properly, makes gradually less effective in transferring vapor outside.
What's more, the fine membrane structure over time, not only get clogged but will lose some of its structural integrity due to abrasion and will allow water in.

So, like in that Simpsons episode, we had lizards, then we got snakes to eat them, so now the gorillas that eat the snakes* are for example, internal layer that sandwiches the membrane and protects it. That comes at some breathability cost and weight.

Another solution which is simpler than WP/B is to embrace completely waterproof shell with good ventilation, depending on the kind of activity but I find that completely waterproof (non-breathable) fabric with pit zips works great in variety of situations. Some people would prefer a poncho which also provide excellent ventilation (but is less suitable for high exposure or bushwhaking).

* And then just simply freeze to death when winter comes, problem solved, except that there are other inherent problems with the premise of WP/B (Andrew Skurka has a great take on it in his book)

IIRC there were two reasons for this. One was an information-leak concern whose details I don't fully remember.

The other is flow control. A server push doesn't automatically send the entire object. It opens a new stream and fills the window, but the client must actively read / ack the stream for the remainder to be sent. To do otherwise would allow the server to de-facto violate the client's stated flow control settings and potentially DoS their network link.
Fair point, though I think VR is going to be solid for games once hardware properly catches up in a decade or so.

How frustrating. I wonder how common it is for devs to dump significant effort into an iOS app / passion project only to be told "No" by the App Store review process.

Is there any way around this? The prospect of building a functional piece of software that cannot be deployed is kind of tragic :/

A larger number of qubits allows us to do effective quantum error correction. The idea is to group multiple physical qubits into one logical qubit, think of it as redundancy.
The problem here is that transformers aren't always the best tool. They are powerful because they can capture large receptive fields but ConvNext even shows that a convolution can still out perform Transformers on some tasks. There's plenty of modern CNNs that have both small and large receptive fields that perform better than transformers. But of course there is no one size fits all architecture and it is fairly naive to think so. I think what was more surprising with transformers is that you could scale them well and perform complex tasks with them alone.

But I think a big part you're ignoring here is how training has changed in the last 5 years. You look back at something like VGG where we go depthwise with CNNs vs something like Swin and there's a ton more complexity in the latter (and difficulties in reproduction of results likely due to this). There's vastly more uses of data augmentation, different types of normalization (see ConvNext), better learning rate schedules, and massive compute allows for a much better hyper-parameter search (I do also want to note that there are problems in this area as many are HP searching over the test set and not a validation or training set).

Yeah, the field has come a long way and I fully expect it to continue to grow like crazy but AGI/HLI is a vastly more complex problem that we have a lot of evidence that the current methods won't get us there.
