It depends what you want to do, but selling one piece of software (or a cloud service etc) online or via app stores etc is monumentally more efficient than doing lots of different software development for clients.

The trick with selling one app is finding a solid niche you can successfully build and productize an app/service for.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but:

- If you and your counterparty are both using Signal, nothing about the security of your communication changes.

- If your counterparty was not using Signal, your messages were over SMS/MMS and therefore not encrypted in the first place, and so once again, nothing about the security of your communication changes.

Are you seeing something I'm not?
I think the point GP was making is that it's to be expected, so don't be surprised when it happens.

I have a M1 and M2 (Pro and Air, and non-M Pro and Air) and have never done this, and never seen it. I do not even have an Apple ID logged into any Mac laptop I have ever owned.

You do not need an account or an iPhone, this makes no sense to me. Was this purchased new from a retail store?
tl;dr some wildlife surveys have very low n, so their results lack statistical power, although the overall picture remains gloomy.

This style of news reporting is odious. Certainly, the paper should put the findings in the context of statistical reliability, and should do so without assuming the reader has statistical knowledge. But this clickbaity 'explainer' fad needs to just disappear. It's like all the headlines are written by otherwise unemployed stand up comics in search of a cheap laugh, and journalists are revising their standards of writing downward to match. Every story now is like AAAAAAH! Why you should stop reacting to jump scares.
It's not a different standard for having a popular show. It's the same standard, scaled by the reach and impact of his show. It's like the difference between plowing into a crowd of people on a dirt bike and plowing into a crowd of people with a semi truck. And, I assure you, Alex Jones is culpable under US law for the harassment these parents endured, just as someone who destroys your professional reputation is culpable from the losses you endure when unrelated people incorrectly refuse to hire you.

The entire article uses some very odd grammatical conventions. The author is from the Netherlands, which I think might account for some of the oddness, but I can't tell if the capitalization is because of that or just because of the desire to be quirky.
> How much of this is just "AI is bad at everything"

"AI Language Models" are not touted as some general AI that is smart at everything, like a clever person with multiple intellectual skills integrated into one.

AI language models are for modeling language, not for math problem solving, or anything else. People good at language aren't always good at math.

DeepL produces very good, correct translations for "Alice has five more balls than Bob, who has two balls after he gives four to Charlie. How many balls does Alice have?" into numerous languages, even though it doesn't offer a solution.

I have little doubt that an AI system could be trained to translate word problems like this into systems of equations, which could be dumped into a some decades-old CAS to obtain a solution, which the AI could map back into the verbal domain through the identities between the math variables like x and Alice's apples.

"Hey look, that human who is supposedly good at math can't produce a painting of the Grand Canyon in the style of Monet, even if given eight months to do it, and is easily defeated in chess."
Careful. Think too hard about this and you'll question the concept of owning land in the first place. Then the whole thing falls apart.
Well over 50% of users of HN are from the USA, so what do you expect? Just because something is European doesn't naturally make it better.
The concept you're upset with here is "the rules of evidence". You'll find that in a variety of ways, your freedom of expression is intensely curtailed in a court of law, and you cannot in fact make any argument you'd like. In particular, when you've lost a trial by deliberately defaulting it, you cannot re-raise the issues the trial settled in the damages phase of the trial. You lost, and those issues are now off the table. That's how trials work.

People are Big Mad about the fact that Jones wasn't allowed to proclaim his ignorance on the stand. But I'm guessing that if you surveyed those people, fewer than 50% would be aware that he was tried and found liable already, and that the "trial" we're discussing is simply the damages phase of the trial he lost.
The sarcastic tone of your response is annoying, given that it misses the point.

Yes, I do, and I use them. But when I'm amongst a group of, say, 9 other iPhone users, who happily all already use iMessage (and already have existing chats among different subgroups of the members), telling everyone they need to switch over to a different, unfamiliar messaging app doesn't go over very well. It's difficult enough to attempt this among adults; it's not surprising that teenagers would laugh in the face of another kid who attempted a "Hey guys, let's all use Signal!!" request

I don’t know if it’s fair to say that revolutionary wealth redistribution movements, like Occupy, are failing because everybody is distracted with social justice movements. The Left is a coalition for social justice and also for wealth redistribution, to varying degrees. That’s why I’m saying that I’m not seeing a direct connection where a success in one area subtracts from progress in another.

> This sentiment sounds correct in theory, but it isn't based on any experience from any one of the people making such a claim.

Do you really think that there isn't a single person who claims that frameworks are good who has never written an application without one?

Well, now you know me. I've tried writing a website without React, and I ended up writing a buggy half-implementation of React. (In my defense, I didn't really know of React at the time.) You only really have to do that sort of thing once before you learn that frameworks have some advantages.
Are they hinting at a pihole with their "It’s a bit more robust and lower latency than that Pi of yours dangling off the shelf by your cable modem."

How could it possibly have lower latency than something that's literally on your local network? Once it caches a request it's nearly instantaneous.

I think https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Gould is a good inspiration. Wayne Gould was a retired judge from Hong Kong and learned to program and eventually launch the modern Sudoku craze. My wife is an acquaintance of his ex-wife and it was amusing to hear about his progression - she was the tester for the puzzles he generated and he rated the difficulties of the auto-generated puzzles by timing how fast she solved them. :)
That relied on carrier infrastructure though - RCS doesn't require a cell connection.
Difference being you can now set IPv6 DNS servers. It's been a while since I tried but this wasn't possible or I did something wrong prior.

Using ipv4 NextDNS servers returned 'youre using NextDNS but without configuration'.
I'm not talking about the ability to put emojis in text messages. I'm specifically talking about the way virtually all messaging apps these days (iMessage, Android RCS messaging, Slack, etc.) have the ability to do emoji reactions to previous messages, e.g. long press and add a thumbs up, heart, barfing, whatever.
Why wouldn't you tell the manufacturer so that they can fix it? What you're proposing is kind of immoral and irresponsible as a member of society. Whatever you do, do not reveal your identity to the manufacturer, some are likely to sue you for disclosing such a vulnerability. Better to release it on the dark web forums that -all- security pros check out than on github where you are easily tracked and outted. Remember that corporations are amoral entities meant for only 1 real purpose, to make their owners money.
Kanye has made a lot of good points regarding BLM enriching its creators and ruining poor neighbourhoods (which is true despite it being considered ‘wrong think’ by some), but recently Kanye went on racist rants about Jews both on social media and in a Fox News interview which are less ‘wrongthink’ and just plain racist.

Is this a pilot of the universal basic income?

I’m conflicted, on one hand the lack of any income provides an urgency to work, giving the money could maybe hinder this and encouraging kicking the can down the road.

Alternatively, many times even to just pull your self up by the bootstraps, something is needed for day to day necessity. Even if you get into college, does the pell grant for instance cover enough? Maybe for ramen and some clothes, basic supplies, really cheap rent if you can find it, but beyond that, hard to fathom getting far and every penny helps.
Did anybody read the statement[0]? After the first section about Putin/Ukraine, they go on to mention Iran (no longer beholden to the non-proliferation deal), North Korea (continually improving their capabilities), a large Chinese expansion of missile silos, massive generational US overhaul of our arsenal, US/Russia/China all developing anti-satellite weaponry (Russia launched one that stalked a US government satelitte[1]) and hypersonic (cruise?) missiles, and the fact that Mike Pence had a 'nuclear football' somewhere near him in the (at the time being overrun by a crazed mob) Capitol on Jan 6.

Notably the biggest rollback of the clock during the Cold War was in Jan 1963, shortly after the Cuban Missile Crisis, during which Kennedy and Kruschev demonstrated that cooler heads could prevail during a nuclear standoff between the only nuclear powers with world-destroying arsenals at the time. No doubt this stayed in their minds for the next couple decades.

For the past couple of decades the clock has also considered: climate change (on which insufficient progress has been made or even really attempted); biohazard (a global inability to cooperatively contain or mitigate, along with the non-trivial possibility that Covid was actively bred in a biolab in an emerging country clearly incapable of handling biohazards safely, and rapid advancement in research techniques eg CRISPR, all whilst the Biological Weapons and Toxin Convention has yet to develop an effective enforcement regime); antibiotics resistance; the social media mass-brainf*ck with attendant negligence or impotence from the companies themselves; and cybersecurity (they mention the Colonial pipeline ransomware incident as a threat to infrastructure itself).

They didn't even mention the overly-brittle global supply chain. Sure, we can survive on last year's iPhone for a little longer but what about when we can't get replacement PLC or I/O cards to run our power plants or food processing facilities?

If this sounds like a breathless run-on sentence, that's because it is. The doomsday clock assesses existential threats to the human race, and there's a lot more of them - in a lot more player's hands - now than during the Cold War.

What is the difference between this and describing a human brain the same way? The brain is the model, you are "just" copying things from the memory of your brain to words that you speak or write?

I don't think it's pedantic to say that an argument is wrong because it's making an incorrect claim. The claim here is that there is something different or missing between a true "model" and LLMs, and that missing thing has something to do with "copying". But that's not true, the missing thing is the complexity of the table, or the size of the table. The fact that it's copying in some incredibly abstract sense doesn't matter.
GDPR-like regulations certainly come to mind. Which is a good thing - too much unprotected data in one place is a disaster for all involved.

IMO this is good. Blocking users from RCS, [while obviously no where near as good as signal, is still far better than SMS] has been a flaw in how signal has handled things

I wonder why the cost is so high, is it mainly electricity?

Parts of California produce more solar power than can be used at that time during parts of the day - could that extra electricity be used for desalination?
"Frameworks are designed to take your project hostage" Wow, that is some enterprise level FUD, and with zero citations to back up that assertion.

While one could possibly see 3rd party external dependencies pose a variable cost, service risk, or security issue... a standalone/maintainable site should not have 25 domains for every lame js widget a designer thought looked cool.

Those who do not use a good framework, are simply doomed to rewrite a buggier implementation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvVPdyYeaQU
If the judgement holds, all his liquidatable assets will be seized and his wages will be garnished perpetually until the total amount is paid or he is put in the ground. Not super complicated, I don't think?
nonsense. This is relevant to the authors thesis: If frameworks are bad and everything should be done manually or in a decoupled way - the quality of the work product of the author, should be subject to discussion. Are they hand weaving beautiful prose? or deluding themselves that they can do a better job?

I find it highlights a key discrepancy: if the author had relied on a framework for this, the quality could be far greater at less effort.
I wonder what would happen if we did this with laws. There are so many laws that get passed that are literally no longer applicable (funding to build a bridge in the US is done as a law), but also I wonder if this would engage everyone a bit more in how the country runs.

To be fair I understand where the college board is coming from. Any effort to be able to add custom software is also a way to add software not approved by the college board, which is obviously an easy way to cheat on tests. And a light that goes on if you enter "exam mode" isn't enough, because if the calculator has the ability to replace the firmware (as the mathworks calculator had) you can disable the exam mode light.

The only possible thing I can think of is a light that comes on when the user tries to access the part of flash memory that custom programs are stored in. If you implemented this in hardware then it would not be possible to disable that exam light, even with a firmware update.

That being said, there was no reason to continue to use those same shitty screens for decades; I'm glad they've moved away from those now. They do still use a Z80 CPU but it's a modernized version that runs at a much higher clock speed, so that's also not too much of a downside.

Not quite the same. A lot of “give money away” programs look the same. But the incentive design is important. This program is over 3 years and is monthly. This means a few things:
1) if you make a mistake a blow 1k on stupid things, you have a chance to learn next month
2) it is over a 3 year period, which allows the recipient to make decisions like try go to school to improve their overall productivity in society in the long run

When you do cash relief in lump sums and without any long term reliability, the above effects are diminished.
I'm still getting strong buy indicators for toys.

I use Django with and without HTTP.

All a Django View is is a function (or in the case of a class-based view, a method of the class) that takes a request object and returns a response object... this is pretty fundamental to HTTP, so any HTTP app will do this. Its not Django dictating it, its the nature of HTTP.

You don't have to use any of those parts of Django if you don't want to.

I often opt to use Jinja2 instead of the Django Template Engine. I happen to like the Django ORM, so I usually do use it, but you certainly don't have to, I have certainly used Django without models before. Your views don't do anything with models unless you tell them to.
The key mistake many people make in trying to handle the depression/burn out thing is the attitude.

They go about it just like about another purchase to make — just give me a solution, be it a pill, therapist, magic technique, enlightened guru or teaching to follow...

I noticed one thing — people with genuine faith tend to overcome such major global downtimes much better.
If the change were say the introduction of child labor at factories during the industrial revolution, would teaching acceptance and self esteem produce the best outcome for those workers?

People have no shame creating a copycat article with zero references or original sources.
Much of the clear low-hanging fruit are in automating or aggregating fragmented data in tech-neglected industries, and that often involves handling PII or payments data - which quickly exposes you to GDPR and equivalents in every country, for which there isn’t a obvious path to compliance (especially when considering that web tech trends go the opposite direction, like the trend toward edge computing = how do you satisfy data residency requirements? It gets complex fast).
I don't think the CPI will change much with 300 people receiving $1k monthly.
The money is also being given to people who are enrolled in the "General Relief Opportunities for Work, or GROW, program, which provides employment and training services for young adults who face employment and educational barriers and often come from vulnerable backgrounds, including being unhoused or unsheltered."

So, it might be the case that these are exactly the people who are motivated and can realize huge benefits from a little extra cash as they're trying to start their career. The obvious negative alternative is that they're coming from vulnerable backgrounds, and having easy cash in their pocket might lead them back to the same troubles that they are trying to escape from. Well, I guess that's the reason for the pilot program!
Intel has the legend of a corporate turnaround after a huge layoff in its history.

I'm not sure if I can take this as a harbinger of things to come, and I'm saying this while generally being pessimistic of the economy, I think Intel is a deeply troubled business and some deep layoffs were long time coming because Intel was spread real thin across so many businesses.

Studies of UBI never fail to indicate the lives of people given UBI are better than before. What they don't seem to ever do is try to compare the improvement caused by UBI to alternative ways of spending the same money. Personally I find it unlikely that non-targeted financial assistance is or can ever be as efficient a way to spend funds as targeted assistance.
