Another vote for iStat Menus. It costs money, but it's my favorite and a bit superior to the open source alternatives like Stats, IMHO, which is somewhat influenced by iStat Menus' design. (though I like Stats's graph view more). iStat has a very flexible customization system and pulls in more data then all the alternatives I've found. Stats for example doesn't show you the per-process disk activity like iStat Menus.

Exactly this. People forget that most of hacking is social engineering.
This tweet is in reply to Musk's revelation that Apple has stopped advertising on Twitter[1] while making an assertion that it must be because "they hate free speech in America". This puts Apple in the same free speech hating category as Chevrolet, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc., Ford, Jeep and others.[2]

The screenshots of the app review don't corroborate the "disallowed almost anything related to Covid, especially vaccines or human origins of the virus", but the Pepe the Frog[3] images could certainly run afoul of Apple's "Defamatory, discriminatory, or mean-spirited content" restrictions[4]

The App Store Review's comment "We continue to find that your app or metadata includes content that some users may find upsetting, offensive, or otherwise objectionable" also makes it sound like they went around the block a couple of times with this and Odysee was either unwilling or unable to apply content restrictions.

Related, why does it seem like every time Musk rallies for free speech it's adjacent to some hateful dog whistle?

Unrelated, LBRY seems like a hot mess[5].

Sorry. That’s not convincing. How can a 10min limit suppress protests? You’re not answering the question, just telling a story.
Soon to be a major motion picture ?
On Instagram, when you create an account, you now need to submit a selfie picture while holding a code given to you while registering. For suspicious account, it can even be a video selfie. I know bots are an issue but they should ask for this only when posting/commenting, not for browsing. No way I'll send a picture or video to facebook linked to my email/phone number.
Ditto. COBOL and RPG aren’t sexy, but they pretty much run the world from healthcare to airlines.
I guess it works both ways though. If everyone had it on, you can't easily arrest every iPhone user. And people could spread information really quickly. Now you have to turn it on for 10 minutes at a time so you aren't organising that mass protest as fast.
You are right of course. But by definition of the law / "algorithm", it should be all shareholders
Ah, simple, I just remember that typing "droid48" will take me to the only calculator app I'll ever need :)
Instead of trying to frame the conversation, Space Karen should be focusing on fixing whatever issues Apple and others raise with his website. That would be the adult thing to do at least, which explains why he’s not doing it I guess.
Turns out the original patents on melatonin for sleep covered doses up to 1 mg, so all the manufacturers started dosing melatonin significantly higher.

Not in my experience - at least not entirely. There's almost certainly some weights/criteria that have nothing to do with what I want (in a previous thread someone suggested that YouTube may weigh videos by availability at the nearest CDN, for example). But these algorithms also interact with botting and SEO (for lack of a better term) in a way that surfaces stuff that I give no shits about but seems to be popular.
Not sure that’s particularly relevant. I think people take issue with it because it has impacts on the stability and reliability of the result
(to post again) Imagine if the people designing the Discord, Windows 10+, Telegram UI, and Amazon Prime cancellation UI to manipulate you into paying for services, were in charge of designing airliner cockpits and industrial plants. User interfaces can and should do better in preventing unintentional user error, and people should refuse to implement, use, or accept dark patterns.
“But many of those farmers are not a small family business anymore, they are very profitable businesses…”
My wife is a small business owner and it is rough as hell. Directing shit at the farmers who actually managed to be successful and grow their operations seems really stupid.
Imagine you want to invite a lot of people you don't know, to a protest. This is generally really difficult to do in China without being spotted for re-education. In contrast, Airdrop was previously a good way to do this discreetly. Now it's useless. That is censorship.
> Nothing is stopping people learning about computers.

Hell, it's easier and cheaper than ever. You can run Linux in your browser on an iPad, just by visiting a URL. Or shell into various free-tier VMs, for... free. Maybe a one-time cost for an SSH/Mosh client if you're on iOS I suppose. Swift Playgrounds and a hundred other learn-to-code apps and sites exist. And that's if you're "stuck" with a locked-down device running iOS—you can pick up cheap but pretty damn powerful second-hand x86 computers with money earned from a shift or two at McDonalds and do whatever you want with them. Practically all libraries have lots of computers now (and see again that you can run Linux in a browser, or remote into VMs from the browser, if you're concerned about how locked-down a library computer might be). I routinely end up with free or nearly-free surprisingly good computers (even Apple ones!) without even trying.

Resources, including entire books, available for free and on demand—and almost any information relating to computers is free if you're willing to sail the high seas and hoist the Jolly Roger, which is exactly what learners did back in the "good old days", too (but we pirated software, not books, mainly because the books were rarely available in digital form and we had worse ways to read them than we do now, even if they had been available).
Oooh anecdata time; I can’t tell you how many times software engineers have just put libs in a dep file to avoid recreating the wheel.

Reusing existing software is not equivalent to expecting users who want share pics to learn from 8088 on up. In fact it’s quite the opposite; it’s good engineering to not waste time recreating the wheel.
There's a "running out" concern for phosphate.

Technically it can be extracted from the same seawater it's running off into, but IIRC that hasn't been demonstrated in a cheap enough way yet.
Customization? On an Apple device? Are you out of your mind?
Your point is also true. Though I still insist in pre-pandemic, most of US companies who hire remote hired a lots of non-american. Now americans are very good at remote working, they just choose american which is kinda good decision.

Apple explicitly advertise that their computers are locked down. It’s part of their marketing. If people didn’t want it, this wouldn’t work.
i thought the reason they wanted to fuse them off was for all cores being completely compatible (just slower), without the need for the OS to force scheduling on specific cores (I'd guess what would have to happen is if an instruction not available on efficiency core was called, it trap, the OS would see it and then mark the process to only be executable on performance core?)
At the same time, almost everyone in my family over the age of 60 who uses a non-Apple device has their devices completely sodden with crapware (and probably worse), to the point where they periodically have to taken them in to some sort of computer "repair" person to have them serviced (i.e., the garbage removed).

Some people apparently need help making judgment calls about what is and is not safe to install on their devices. I feel like Mac OS might strike the right balance here: you can install anything you want, but the OS throws up speedbumps if the app doesn't have the right signature, is not from the App Store, etc. These protections can be easily circumvented, but they send a signal that you should think twice about doing so if you don't really know what you're doing.
> I have little patience with vegans who refuse to differentiate between these two types of meat production on ethical grounds. However if everything moves to the latter ethical and healthy production system, meat will be more expensive and less of a 'daily staple' - and there's nothing wrong with that dietary switch, it's better for everyone.

As a vegan, myself and most/all of my friends would agree that some hunting is good. For example, where I am deer need to be hunted, b/c humans replaced their natural predators and they are overpopulated, causing issues such as disease etc..

Personally I do not want to be the one hunting deer, but I have no issue with it.

Factory farming is a completely other level from hunting.

If we were only allowed to eat meat we personally caught from wild animals... well, yeah, that'd probably be pretty solid...

The problem is even "ethical" farming is pretty rough on animals and rough on the environment. It isn't "natural" at all, even if you are putting them in a field outside rather than crammed into a barn.
Obsolete Sounds: collection of disappearing and extinct sounds
And how damn hard it is for CEOs to have to do layoffs.
Especially more in rather small companies, where you do know very well the people you are taking the job away from. Zuck for ex certainly didn't hire himself, know the kids of, etc the thousands he laid off.

And still, your duty as CEO, starting with your duty to your teammates, is to maximize the chances that most people keep their job. The best way to do that is to build a healthy and enduring business & economics.
At least as long as people still want to be paid with $$. And this is no bad joke: the pioneers of any industry, like were those joining tech startups in the 70s, were in it for the cause, the dream, the revenge, etc. Today this is not the case anymore: tech is a 'job' for most. Which is absolutely fine. A victory actually: it means tech has become a 'normal' industry.

Unfortunately, the recent cycle was not about 'health'. so as in all excesses, the body needs to rebalance.
There's absolutely nothing hypocritical about e.g. "defending peace". It's realistic. between Karl Popper's well-known writings on the subject, and one accusatory sentence from someone on the internet, I'll take Karl Popper.
The fact that the fee exists, no. But app developers aren't allowed to tell users that they can avoid the fee by making their purchase outside the app instead.
Show HN: Slack bot to monitor/stop/restart ML model training remotely
I created this personal project for myself to be able to monitor, stop and restart my ML model training using Slack. A lot of my GPU hours have been wasted running training with wrong hyperparameters, or the training being stuck due to random reason only to realize after a long time. So I thought a tool like this might come handy to monitor it using my phone.

I showed it to a few people and they liked the idea, hence open-sourced it and posting it here.
Well no, you can just get the battery replaced.

But that doesn't change anything - the point is, they could have just limited the CPU power draw to below the minimum threshold at all times so performance was constant, but low. That would in my opinion be strictly worse.

[edit] To be clear, I also want replaceable batteries but that conversation is totally orthogonal.
Oh come now. I constantly hear this concern from my friends (almost exclusively left-of-center).

And they aren't totally wrong? I have a qanon-er in my family; she's carefully curated her media sources to guarantee a pure, steady stream of nutjob garbage. The thing is, censoring twitter/facebook/youtube makes no difference - these people will find their fringe no matter how hard they have to look. At least on youtube there's a chance the algorithm will show some non-bullshit.

I don't know what "the answer" to any of this is, but I suspect we all need to be a bit more tolerant of online stupidity.

Also: If your social media feeds are showing you crappy content, you are to blame. It's incredibly easy to like/dislike/hide-like-this content. My feeds are fantastic. I suspect the people complaining about their feeds actually like garbage and even more so like to complain.

This is over simplifying matters. The technologies used to be optional, but in many cases is now mandatory to use an OS.

Windows 11 mandates a TPM, for example - Windows 10 did not and works fine on any system without. There has been a huge amount of discussion here and elsewhere about the Windows 11 mandatory security changes, which themselves are similar to the changes Apple have made to how their own systems boot over the years.

I don't find that claim dubious at all. We have an Android phone which has been in continuous use for probably around 10 years (I don't know exactly how many years, but it came with Android 2.x); I don't see why it would be any harder for an Apple phone to live as long.

Interestingly a RAV4 Hybrid with about 2500 lb total cargo including trailer gets around 28-30 mpg. The newer hybrid transaxles (P710 etc) are mechanically surprisingly simple and I could see a future where they become the preferred replacement for an all-mechanical system.
In WW2, Germany had the most advanced weapons technology.

Meanwhile, both the US and the Soviets had 'good-enough' weapons technology that they out-produced by many times the small numbers of the high-tech weaponry of the Germans.

It's no good having a weapon that has a 100:1 kill ratio, if the enemy can throw 101 of its own weapons against it.

It's the same situation at present in the 'semiconductor war' between the US and China. The US has the high-tech stuff, but they can/will be swamped by the much cheaper and numerous 'good-enough' chips from China. Later on the Chinese companies, due to that higher income from sales, will 'out-tech' the US companies that don't have enough ready cash to throw at research into higher tech stuff. The US companies will fall behind, the Chinese companies will take over.

And all this because when the Chinese companies were perfectly content to purchase several hundred billion dollars
worth of 'buy-built' semiconductors every year, the US in its wisdom decided to ban those sales and force the Chinese to 'roll their own'.

Mistake, big mistake, HUGE.

You are conflating protection from violence with protection of free speech. Paradox of tolerance is a hypocritical concept used by people to excuse their own intolerance.

Restrictions on free speech are much more dangerous than any hate speech. You won't get a new Hitler by blocking speech you don't like. It's the opposite: new Hitler will start with blocking free speech. That's what every authoritarian regime does first.
Which isn't backed up by actual studies of pedestrian-vehicle fatalities.
Best not to conflate ethics and privacy.

The most private digital world — one in which everything is e2e encrypted — is arguably totally ethical (impossible for anybody to infringe on your personal rights) or the least ethical state of affairs imaginable (free for all for criminals, terrorists, etc…).

Does that work consistently for anyone else? I don't have a Twitter account but there are a couple of Twitter posters I occasionally check on - and I'm still seeing the "See more Tweets from ..." modal at times (I just verified it now).
This is cyclical - sites lock down access and push popups/nonsense etc, new sites are created "designed to make reading content easier", those sites gradually decay until they are locking down access, a new wave begins.

Substack and Medium are clear poster children for this.

And literally none of it would be allowed on the app store, just like it isn't now. Again, it would change absolutely nothing. Scammers would sooner convince his 80+ year old mother to tell them her bank details than they would walk her through the process of installing a dodgy app through sideloading.
I like it, I find it limits myself tremendously if I browse said sites not logged in or a browser that disables cookies. That login wall/prompt is easy to bypass but when I see it, I capture myself and quit the tab.
Not grokking this knee-jerk reaction to freedom a slightest bit. Freedom to do whatever you want with your own device (which is something companies like Apple and manufacturers of ie household appliances will contest more and more) doesn't mean everybody wants immediately hack the hell out of it.

Installing app from any source is not outrageous, I use it for my Pioneer receiver who would otherwise have no remote, I use it for my paragliding variometer. And I could use it for anything else I chose to, since I am free to decide. The list of what I can do with similar other devices but can't do with the most expensive of them is quite long. This is not expert level, experienced beginner at best (not for Apple products obviously since jailbreaking is advanced topic).

Due to above also being 100% stuck with only Apple payment system which takes 30% all the time vs having the freedom to choose. This can't be more un-american (at least to ideal, reality is another topic).

Life for others does not need to conform to your ideal - that goes both ways. Closed vs open systems to 'hackers' have a special meaning to many people here on this forum. And yes these topics are exhausting to us all, explaining ad nauseum why more freedom is better for users especially long term, and why Apple et al desperately don't want users to have it.
> You are conflating protection from violence with protection of free speech.

No, I am saying that they are "like" each other. It's a comparison not a conflation. Mr Popper is absolutely not conflating anything - his original formulation is very much about speech.

> blocking free speech. That's what every authoritarian regime does first.

You mean, after they become the regime, and get a lock on the power to block free speech; which in turn is after using the free speech ability to emit the divisive populist rhetoric that propels them to that power? There is no regime ever, that blocks free speech before it is voted into power. At that stage they're only to happy to use it. The shutting it down comes later.

So, not first at all then. That was Popper's point.
That depends a lot on the issuing university. At some of the medieval university, e.g. Cambridge, the only undergraduate degree is a BA, regardless of subject. Likely because the naming of the degree predates the modern usage of the word science.

Few would argue that a BA in physics (which would actually be in Natural Sciences) from Cambridge is "less rigorous"

> There is nothing terrible about Apple making devices my 80+ year old mother can safely and easily use.

This - this line is the part of your argument I find fairly bullshit.

There is nothing stopping Apple from making the same device, but giving you the keys to install your own software on it. Hell - They can even bury it in the settings, or lock it down through a provisioned profile so you can help your mom by turning it off if you're worried.

Instead - you're arguing that apple should abuse their position to keep other competition locked out. Because you think it makes you "safer". I don't think it makes you safer. I think it makes life easy for you, at the expense of everyone in the long term.

You have fallen - hook, line, and sinker - for the marketing of the richest company in the world, telling you "trust us - we'll keep you safe". You should ask more questions about why they need to do it this way. Why keeping you safe involves abusing their power.

That's the same safety China promises with their great firewall. Trust us - we'll keep you safe, happy, and ignorant.

Maybe that's a good deal to you - I think it's a shitty trade.
I think one must keep in mind that the conceptual idea of eating cultured meat is one thing, and the practical economic reality is another.

If a cultured meat "chik'n nugget" is cheaper than a mechanically-reconstituted-real-chicken-meat nugget, and the quality is the same, lots of people will buy the cheaper cultured option.

The same logic applies for basically every fast food product, and also every Costco-bulk meat product.

There are some people that care deeply about the quality and sourcing of the meat they consume, and cultured meat is probably not for them. For most other meat eaters, price (assuming parity on quality with the equivalent low-cost option) is going to be the prime determinant.
Okay. Let's make it more concrete. Imagine theres a bus full of people and you want to invite them to a protest, discreetly.

Before state: some of them have airdrop set to open always and you can just airdrop to them. Move on to the next bus.

New state: some of them may have had airdrop set to open always, but it timed out. You cannot airdrop it to them. Protest quashed.

I'm still telling the same story but perhaps this makes the mechanism more obvious to you. The fact that you genuinely don't seem to see the censorship shows how effective this strategy is.
If they rolled it out to China first, that's a pretty huge region to start with if you want to test something isn't broken.
Yeah same - there is definitely a practical cause & effect practical correlation, but also a lot of effect without obvious cause in an environment that should be relatively stable. (one person, small apt, no co2 sources)
