Yes they do. These are 406 MHz Emergency Distress Signal devices: "Distress alerts transmitted from ELTs, EPIRBs, SSAS, and PLBs are received and processed by the International Cospas-Sarsat Programme, the international satellite system for search and rescue (SAR). These beacons transmit a 406 MHz distress signal every 50 seconds, varying over a span of 2.5 seconds to avoid multiple beacons always transmitting at the same time." [0]

Sir, let me very calmly ask you to please behave better in discussions here.
Do people still get excited for these smartphone OS updates? I remember a couple of years ago I couldn't wait to see what the new features were. Now I don't think I've changed the way I use my phone for several years.

There's a companion movie "Chasing Ghosts" that I thought was much better for humanizing this particular group of oddballs.
I hate apple because of vendor lock in and nonsense with their walled garden. But seriously, GP is deluded.

Satellite emergency services has never been free, even if you buy an garmin device for this, they don't operate if you're not paying your monthly bill.
15 years ago? Wow! Seeing Google Maps came out 17 years ago, that’s really early in their lifetime!
As a non-iOS user it looks like a great update, but at the same time I thought that many of these were already features like in Android

I live in the UK and we have a similar system here. I have a tax code assigned that describes my personal circumstances. My employer reports everything to the government. Taxes, refunds, etc, are all handled automatically through my paycheques. The only reason I would need to file a self assessment is if I had self employment income etc.

It’s such a relief of stress every year. I hate the way the US (and Canada) does taxes.

Safari “getting snappier” with every OS update is a running gag in at least the MacRumors community. Or has been for quite a while. Maybe it’s retired now, much like the old gold “but will it run Crysis?” one.

By now, Safari should be so snappy it opens your pages and have their document tree ready two seconds before you think of doing it.
I've been writing a compiler, and I guess enough people have because it always knows exactly what my enums should be, what the name of my types should be, what I should parse next, etc.
You’re missing the point I was trying to make. What you’re trying to achieve is literally impossible without tyranny. You will not ever eject KF from the internet as we know it today. You will not ever succeed in this goal.

But what you may ultimately accomplish is ushering in tyranny and government regulation of the internet in the name of censoring objectionable content.
Amazing. I cannot believe it’s taken this long but that’s amazing. Upgrading first chance I get.

Little effect I think. Fusion power can do little that fission power can't do already, which is provide "free" power after you look past the cost to build and maintain the plant. The best advantage of fusion power is the public perception is presently better.
I think overall the IRS not providing the information is driven more by tax preparer lobbyists and anti-tax crusaders (like Grover Norquist). The tax preparers want the revenue and the crusaders want people to be irritated by the process.

I did have basically the same thought as you, that not showing you the info means you're tempted to hide it. However, even if somebody is late reporting the info to the IRS, you're still liable. And the opportunity to hide income is gradually being reduced: eBay is sending 1099s [0] if you sell enough there, so is Amazon [1] and even Facebook Marketplace [2] for sales through them (as opposed to meeting in person and using cash).

If people use Venmo or Zelle, that's trackable. Maybe the IRS isn't using it today but some day.

This is as credible as Ford doing a survey and finding out people got way more done with Ford trucks.

I found copilot to be nothing but a hinderance and additional cognitive load. Not only do you need to think about the code you want, you need to review the (usually wrong) code copilot produces and either reject it or edit it to make it right. This is a lot more mental overhead than just writing the code.
I’d like it if you could just have an ephemeral call list. I don’t want to add an estate agent or recruiter to my main contact list, but I’d like to see their name come up if they call back or I get another call from them.

Just make it a contact with like a 7 day TTL or something. If it’s longer term, save it proper.

I mention this because the old Caller ID setup doesn’t really work any more.
Download Airalo. Problem Solved.
I wondered about this too, how they’re budgeting $15 million to “look into” an e-filing system. With the right team of project, product, design, and engineering talent, couldn’t $15 million go a long ways towards building a working MVP, at least for simpler tax returns? But I’m sure that’s just wishful thinking in my naive developer mind…
The real issue is that the tax industry is a large employer. There are about 80k full time tax preparers in the US, and several times that are hired seasonally. H&R block alone hires about 80k for Jan->April. The lobbyists only have to go into senator's offices and say "We created 14,000 jobs in your district, and this bill puts those in jeopardy". Our tax payment system is, in part, a taxpayer funded private jobs creation program.

It looks like the costs to Apple are:

1. Whatever fees the satellite network charges them.

2. The cost to maintain the call centers they're routing your contact with the nearby emergency services through. (They say they'll put you in direct text contact if the emergency department supports it, but otherwise they'll be intermediaries.)

This suggests to me that how much this costs in an ongoing way is going to be heavily dependent on how much it's used, such that locking themselves in to a pricing structure before they have any idea how much use it'll see is a bad idea for them.

> I hope this supports location report to closed friends like how Garmin did

They mentioned in the presentation that you can make a non-emergency use of this system to ping your location to their Find My network. So it's at least a way to keep your Apple-ecosystem friends updated on where you are when you're out of cell range.
I've used it routinely for many years now. I also used it for VA which had similar free fillable forms. It seemed like an exact copy UI-wise but on a different domain.

However, this past year VA dropped free fillable forms due to lack of funding. Had to go back to mailing forms :/
Same with Rust. Sometimes I just have to write a comment saying "display implementation for X" and it will autocomplete with the trait implementation. This is extra magical because I don't need to remember the exact detail of the trait.
I wish HN had a "Launch" link at the top in which YC companies (and maybe other companies) could do launch posts.

@dang ?
Right now Copilot is just given the surrounding code, which is obviously limited. I suspect the next big jump will be a model that is given:

1. The surrounding code

2. The type/intellisense information of all the identifiers in the surrounding code

3. The class/function definition of any identifiers in the surrounding code

I think #3 will be huge. There is a huge difference in Copilot's performance when dealing with types defined right above where you are writing code, and types defined in some far-away module or library. Right now if you use a class you defined in another file or adjacent project, Copilot can't see it. But your IDE has jump-to-definition functionality that could trivially be wired in to something like Copilot.

The team behind Stable Diffusion (the image synthesis model that's been all over HN recently) have said they are working on stuff like Copilot as well, so I expect we will see a huge transformation in this space in the next year or two.

If this is true it may sway me to getting an iPhone 13, I want to do some travelling in the future so being able to have multiple e-sims saved would be beneficial. I thought that it seemed a bit odd that you could only have two of something that was completely digital but makes much more sense if it's only two active SIMs at once.
Chess was such a good example to use in this lame dichotomy that we are now pivoting to Bobby Fischer chess and completely different games.
In Algol 68, you can do that; it's part of the standard prelude. I think that some people who'd worked on Algol 68 in the Netherlands also worked on the ABC language, where it's "1" ^^ 4301, and Guido worked on ABC before Python.
Yep, similar value is found on other technically inept solutions that are mostly kept around to keep the license to operate active (since some of those require active use to retain them).

It's also very expensive engineering. That's how a coal plant works, and the last coal plant that the US built cost $2B for a 600MW plant. Given how much cheaper solar & wind are, fusion will be dead in the water if it doesn't come up with a cheaper way of extracting energy from the reaction.
Holy cow, I'm impressed that you bothered to respond here and yet did not respond to the part where I very carefully opted out of this when it was offered. My coworker was already confused how this happened to her, so I knew what to look for and yet this still happened.

When I opened Otter there was a large splash screen that said "Enable Otter Assistant" in a big blue button - I looked around and found "Skip" in gray in the upper right. My settings show Otter Assistant is off, and I never touched them.

> But then my calls will come from the random area code too

Nobody will care. Everybody's cell number is just a record of where they lived when they got their first phone; people you call will have you in their contact list most likely.
The best camera is the one you have with you, and no-one[*] carries around an SLR camera these days.

Similarly, the best emergency-alert system is the one you have with you. Apple is playing the long game, getting their feet wet in a new area, and providing some value. They will iterate, it's what they do.

[1] For some definition of "no-one". Obviously some people do carry around SLR's but it's a tiny minority.
If you're content to work within your network or and only care about the craft rather than the overall purpose of your company and tasks, then sure. Jobs your friends and colleagues get you don't require a cover letter.
The article makes the mistake assuming that companies are using these tests to maximize for performance, when in fact they are trying to maximize internal culture fit.
For those of you that want to learn more about this feature, Apple has a page describing how it works as well as how calls get through.

It’s a simple read and worth the minute or so if you use the feature.

To be fair I barely trust my InReach either. Overcast days, canyons, and any kind of tree cover consistently result in delayed or failed messages. And even if they report as "sent" on the device sometimes the recipient doesn't get them.

And for a dedicated device, the tracking feature is laughably bad with worse accuracy than my friend's watch.

Better than nothing in case of emergency but the reliability leaves a lot to be desired.
You have to think about it like auto complete. You don't blindly accept what auto complete tells you, your code would never compile otherwise, you read what it proposes to you and you modify what you don't like.

It's curmudgeonly of me, but he got mugged by MIT; which operated very much like the consultancy he went to work for. Promise everything, give the client what they want, ignore the obvious problems in the proposal and let the client take the hit if that's what they want so desperately.. just give them the rubber stamp.

So, he took his MIT rubber stamp out into the real world and found out how much "double class load" was NOT like "actual paid work."

Yes, exactly! There are two problems here:

1. What's the most efficient way to boil water?

2. How do we generate electricity on a population scale without having to boil water?

Question 1 is, apparently, much more tractable. We are still pretty much building the world's most sophisticated tea kettle.
Judging a headphone by specific codec support just doesn't make sense. Support for acoustically transparent codecs is good enough. Nobody has every demonstrated an ability to reliably distinguish high bitrate mp3 or AAC from lossless.

There are still benefits to lossless from a preservation perspective, but for actually listening to music it really doesn't matter.
> For example, if I have a `Point` object with `x` and `y` fields, and I make a function called `lowest_point`, it knows I want to the point with the minimum `y` value. Because it knows the name `y` is most typically used for vertical direction, and the word `lowest` also implies vertical direction.

Unless, as in many systems, y=0 is the top and y increases downward.
Oh that’s a bonus for me, I want her to use it basically for phone, imessage, and find my!
that might be with a higher queue depth though, like 4K Random QD=4 or something, I don't see it says "QD=1" or similar anywhere there and that's a fairly high result if it was really QD=1.

It's true that NVMe does better with a higher queue depth though, but, consumer workloads tend to be QD=1 (you don't start the next access until this one has been finished) and that's the pathological case due to the inherent latency of flash access. Flash is pretty bad at those scenarios whether SATA or NVMe.

https://images.anandtech.com/graphs/graph11953/burst-rr.png

https://www.anandtech.com/show/11953/the-intel-optane-ssd-90...

So eh, I suppose it's true that NVMe is at least a little better in random 4K QD=1, a 960 Pro is 59.8 MB/s vs 38.8 for the 850 Pro (although note that's only a 256GB drive, which often don't have all their flash lanes populated and a 1TB or 2TB might be faster). But it's not really night-and-day better, they're still both quite slow. In contrast Optane can push 420-510 MB/s in pure 4K Random QD=1.
If the coup was an inevitability then the CIA and MI6 got their hands dirty for nothing. Personally, I'll err on the side of giving them credit for the things they did, rather than absolving them of blame because of the way things might have gone.
The way technology is headed there is a 110% chance that the phased array tech gets miniaturized and put into a phone. And once the constellation is filled in, you’ll be able to find any tiny slice of sky and talk to a starlink sat that’s flying through it. Indoors is still a problem but who knows, things are always evolving.
I'm always surprised at how quickly people will dismiss something just because of a name. I once wrote a bug tracking system/wiki for my company to replace the terrible one that we had been using. It did everything we needed and was much nicer to work with, but the reason people gave me for why we never used it was that the name sounded funny. It was a made-up word, totally an afterthought. sigh
Which is fine, if you want the number to be front and center then do that, have the pain be in the sticker shock not the process of paying it.
I know you can output the audio to 'other' devices, but I only want to output it from the iPhone or iPad. Strangely, in the link above, we can see there being an iPhone option but I don't see that as of the latest iOS. Is this feature in the unreleased iOS 16?
My understanding was they would stop after today!
This doesn't answer the "Why" in the headline "Why Companies Are So Interested in Your Myers-Briggs Type".

I'm sure the Apple use case is different from a web api, but it was more for illustrative purposes. I imagine most developers know how to wrap data in JSON and how to do a HTTP call over TLS. When using that as a point of reference, having such a transmission take a long time might show how little bandwidth some M2M networks have (or need).

I wouldn't be surprised if the current Globalstar network is so limited it wouldn't even do voice.
I have proof otherwise that can probably be replicated if need be. I can DM you the details. Granted this was a few years ago so hopefully they've matured since then.
What do you mean by left leaning areas?
This works until you get calls from DC.
Yeah, that was one of the reasons I said "just about". But minuscule compared to millisecond seek latencies on a spinning disk.

So the problem getting orders of magnitude smaller while the costs of the cure increasing a lot swung the equation away from defragging being a good thing overall.
Yeah but their satellites are basically oversized analogue relays. So bandwidth is bugger all with little capacity to increase it. So Leo or not it's like having CDMA speeds as your cap. Pretty much useless for anything other than a GPS location ping for emergency use.
It is not even remotely usable with languages like Haskell, the code it generates almost never typechecks, IME. I think the primary reasons being lack of training data (there is far more Python code on GitHub than the entirety of Hackage) and that Copilot is essentially a language model that does not consider AST and type information at all.
Ehh, I've used these without fail almost every day I've owned them, just shy of 3 years, for often 4+ hours a day. They feel magical, they work really well, and I love always having them in my pocket (and they never get tangled). So for me they were a really good return on investment. I tried to go back to wired after I lost my original AirPods (not pro) years ago and bought new AirPods within a week after going crazy dealing with the wires (getting caught on things, getting tangled, having to run them up my shirt and even then having them sometimes pull on my ears, etc).

At the end of the day it comes down to what your time/enjoyment is worth, for myself $250/3 years is an easy choice but I get that it's not for everyone. Also I've never had wired headphones last more than a year or 2 (at least the ones I carried with me everywhere), 10's of years seems like a stretch unless we are talking about over the ear headphones or similar and those have a ton of downsides compared to something that can fit in your pocket.
In Europe I've never seen these tests as an entrance exam; just yesterday I watched Persona and was surprised that McDonalds of all companies seems to require such testing.

What's the deal here? Companies are so desperate for any criterion to reduce the pile of applicants? Do they believe it helps? Do they look for a few of these profiles and never the others?

Hiring is hard, I know, but I only know of these models in the context of understanding existing teams, not hiring for individual positions.
Is the safety profile any better? Or is it just public perception?
YC companies can do launch posts coordinated through dang AFAIK (which both ensures that there's not to many and that someone tells them if their pitch style isn't going to work for the audience)
Long term, yes. But much of the climate change problem is decided in the next 25 years. Even if this reactor would work right now, building enough of them in that time frame everywhere, switching all industry and factories to electric, switching all transportation and cars and heating systems in all the houses to electric is very tough.

So it's still very challenging.
Yes, I'm not denying that.

The question was why "opex is the part that tethers on-chain security to reality", and opex specifically.
> TaskTiger only processes one

Generally yes, though it also supports "batching" tasks where tasks are `.delay`'d normally but the task is given batches of N sets of args at a time and the task's code has to understand batching logic.

:+1: I'd definitely believe the task handling code is slower than celery. Honestly I haven't personally done too much optimization work on it (though perhaps previous maintainers have, I'm not sure). Performance of TaskTiger itself hasn't really been problematic at all for us in production with hundreds of workers. Usually it's been external things (like databases, third party API's, etc) that impact our task throughput the most. Or wanting to shift the architecture entirely to avoid using memory-bound Redis as a queue with an overflow risk.
And a lot more attractive. An addition subscription for a hard to use SOS vs 3G data speeds for "free" for many T-Mobile customers.

I will also say one is vaporware at this point and one is coming out next week.
