No, the device consists of the hardware and firmware required to make the hardware operate.

There is no reason to consider the OS and the App Store part of the device, other than marketing.
I think the author's point is, there is another way to interpret this behavior.

Basically, proposing an alternate theory and seeing if it fits the data.

And, it is reasonable to argue that *the motivation of the behavior is irrelevant* if said behavior also produces said effect.

That said I have to read the article ; )
Cheaper and cleaner energy has never in the history of enery lead to global reduction of pollution, actually pretty much the opposite. Plus, nuclear power is already virtually free and has been available since the 1970s. If stopping climate change was an energy source problem, it would have already been solved then.
To people reading this: please never ever do that, unless it was agreed upon with your client/employer beforehand (and compensated accordingly).

If you know the code may break in 5 years, why don't you fix it now? Because your employer doesn't want to pay you to do that (probably for good reason, surely there's higher priorities).

Then why would you do it for free years later?

I don't really mind this. I don't believe it's appropriate for the government to prohibit the use of a psychoactive substance, but this law doesn't do that. It just bans a particular delivery mechanism which is known to be particularly harmful. That seems reasonable.

I'm happy for their success. However, I'm dismayed that it was their inability to pay for healthcare that landed them in this (albeit good) situation. It's not a situation that should be forced on citizens in a modern country, for which this particular example is a feel-good ending, but there are many more (orders of magnitude more) feel-bad endings, so to speak.
Some interesting aspects reading the bill[0] is that it defines social networks are susceptible to this bill if they're at least 10% owned (or at least have 10% voting power) by...

1. A country of concern: Any country defined as foreign adversaries (currently named are China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela)

2. A company of concern: These are explicitly defined as Bytedance, TikTok, or any subsidiary of them.

I find it interesting that this bill explicitly calls out Bytedance and Tiktok, rather than making a broader bill that's purely targeted at foreign interference. To add to this, Senator Rubio's statements [1] make things very clear that this bill is almost entirely related to TikTok. Has there ever been legislation that bans an explicitly named piece of software or social network?

Not necessarily, it depends on how the reaction scales. If the reaction does not scale linearly (as is claimed) you don’t necessarily have to get more efficient, you just have to up the power until the output curve has increased past the input scaling. How big that is is determined by the efficiency of the input device itself, but it isn’t a question of if it will ever happen.
If Apple's value add is as great as you're saying, then they should have absolutely no problem competing on fair terms with other companies instead of dictating what users are allowed to do, and what competitors are allowed to exist, on their own hardware.
Keep in mind that in most GC languages every reference between data objects is inherently managed by GC. That's where much of the overhead comes from, needing to repeatedly trace the full set of program references. Whereas it's absolutely not the case that most references in a real-world program will even be relevant to object lifecycle, let alone be involved in a case where such lifecycle is "dynamically" being extended by multiple objects.

The idea that you can own a device and can't do whatever you want with it is asinine. If you can't do what you want, you don't own it.
Honestly surprising to me that any application owned by Meta is even allowed in Europe at this point.
Donning my armchair psychologist hat, I feel a lot of it is denialism and knee-jerk "Stupid government!" reaction to governments "lecturing" (in their view) about climate change. Maybe the left-vs-right political question is too simplistic, I wonder what it would look like if the pollsters asked "Do you trust or distrust the current government?".

Even with something that could kill you within 2 weeks, there were a lot of denialism. Something that could kill you in 50 years? A lot of people are probably thinking "If it's making my life harder now (higher prices for more climate-friendly options) for something 'they say' will kill us in the future, I'd rather focus on making my life more bearable now rather than save the future."
> > How reading of different type of content should be handled,as some posts are just media, some are comments?

> It may be helpful if community apps include various metadata in the feeds they provide, so reader apps can distinguish different types of posts (e.g. perhaps include a "in reply to" field for replies).

Fun Fact: The Activity Streams JSON-LD Vocabulary, which is used in ActivityPub, started, a long time ago, as a metadata extension for Atom (and RSS) feeds.

https://activitystrea.ms/specs/atom/1.0/

Additional Atom back in 2005 provided a minimal mechanism for copying feed items from one feed into a new feed – the "social feed" in your proposal – by specifying an element which references the original source feed.

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4287#section-4.2.11

Over the years people have put a lot of time and thought into distributed social media APIs and related specs and are still doing it. Current efforts like ActivityPub and the Indiewebcamp stuff are a direct descendant of some of these specs.

(If I were you, my first thought would be to simply read, what has happened in the last 20 years. At the very least it can never hurt to know, what other people found worth doing.)

I never think of POPCNT because it's not a language primitive in any languages I use.

I would do it by storing the product of the counts; divide by the outgoing count before decrementing, multiply by the incoming count after incrementing. If the product is one they're all unique. Scaling should be comparable to POPCNT.

>If you want to stay in the playpen, that's fine, but there's no reason why users who want to use the full potential of their devices shouldn't be able to in order to keep you happy.

This is just flat out not true with networked devices. I want my tech illiterate mother on a platform with no malware. That includes no malware on other devices that can contact hers and trick her into installing the same malware on her device. Apple’s iOS is the only computing platform that she has ever used on which she has avoided being tricked into malware installation. I’m skeptical that that will continue with third party app stores becoming a thing.

USDN is unpegged and below $0.70 [1] I don't believe they have a chance of recovery.

USDD dipped under $0.97 (the "official peg") both yesterday and today [2]. The reserves are being poured in to keep it propped up till confidence returns. Hmmmmm...

UST (Luna/Terra) is, as is well known, finally stable ;)

In the famous thread that brought down FTX, CZ accused SBF of trying to crash Tether with a paltry $250M. While I don't see how that could be, CZ knows much more than me about what is really propping up Tether, and that is a scary thought.

And now Circle is under pressure. OK, they are big, and somewhat audited, so they probably can hold up unless a LOT of customers wanted out.

Of course, if any of these exchanges or stablecoins were honest, they would have 100% of customer's funds available or close to available, and a run wouldn't be a risk. But, let's not kid ourselves - No one in this space is honest.

I can totally imagine a crash of USDN leading to a run and crash of USDD, than a bigger run on Binance and Tether. I wonder which of those two has a larger hole?

I also wonder whether a crash of a $20bn fund could cause less scrutiny on SBF? And what would happen to BTC without Tether's magical beans to prop it up?

Probably familiarity more than anything. But it's Open Source and it "just works" so I don't feel compelled to spend a lot of time evaluating alternatives. And of the alternatives I've been compelled to use at one time or another (mainly Jira) I was not impressed.
That sounds like illegal anticompetitive behavior to me.
Breaking is only part of the problem. The pages that rely on the referer header take it for granted and do not implement any meaningful error handling. They just die a horrible death, instead of responding with an error message stating that they need a referer.

One bad example is relying on the referer only for log-out, everything else works. That site also runs massive js on log-out, as if it really needs to rely on explicit log-out, and not just the user disappearing.

This is very Figma specific :)

I used to use .base components before, but IMHO with the latest Figma updates they are not needed anymore. Editing variants is superfast with the layer multiselect tool.

I created and maintained a fairly large design system that I did entirely using .base and it brought more pains than gains, so I redid the design system using a more modern approach and with component properties and some js magic and superhappy :)
It's a combination where both parts play a key role. Much like a jam needs both fruit and sugar, or a bar of chocolate needs both cocoa powder and cocoa butter; neither component is a small addition, and neither can be omitted.
The purpose of NIF is primarily to study the effects of age on our nuclear weapons stockpile by simulating the x-ray blast of the primary nuclear device on the secondary fusion stage within an h-bomb in a controlled environment.

Then we can tell how the hydrogen stage will be affected by age, and probably how we can optimize the contents and casing of that to be smaller and last longer.

Any benefits to the future of power generation is a secondary goal.
For sure, and I'm assuming the parents were great in every other respect. Assuming the best — that they didn't understand the harm of secondhand smoke — wouldn't a ban have been helpful to them in the same way that a ban on lead paint is helpful?

You were the one who brought up the idea of "but you pay [it for] their R&D from the hardware, to the UI design, to the APIs".

If you want to back to take back that argument, great.

So, the whole idea of "Well you are paying for all this other stuff" is completely off the table, and you can't use it, because people pay 1400$ for the phone.

So lets all just completely ignore that idea, and lets stop pretending like Apple is "owed" anything for the phone that belongs to the user.

The phone belongs to the user, and they paid a fair price for it, so no Apple is not owed money for any of other stuff.

> at what point is it "you cannot make money off your software on the backend"?

Apple can keep doing that if they want. By competing in the free market.

They just can't force people onto that anymore. They will have to actually make a better product, and hope users go to that store, instead of alternatives.
The article linked in this thread mentions the strengths of plaster—the tech that preceded drywall. Plaster has some nice aesthetic properties, good fire resistance, good sound isolation, can be shaped into organic contours. All those things make it great, though I hate the mess of working with old work.
It’s still not the same as selling your data to third parties, with all the many very considerable additional privacy and accountability problems that entails. It’s also not using your data to provision ads on third party sites and apps. I’ve seen people claim Apple does both of those things here before, and the fact is they don’t.

What they are just starting to do is no different from Amazon using your past purchases to place ads on their own site. I have no problem with that either.

If your going to criticise them and think what they are doing is wrong, fine. That’s fair, but could people at least get what they're complaining about factually correct.
Competition between marketplaces is good.

Epic is offering free games and discounts to lure players in all the time. this is excellent for consumers.

The problem with goat simulator is 100% on the developer and not some dark pattern imposed by steam. If you have an xbox or ps controller it will work out of the box without steam (provided you have installed the drivers). Steam has a gamepad emulation layer and that's why the dev recommended using it as a launcher for the non-steam game, because any controller will work with it.

No, I'm saying that Apple's restrictions on third-party developers are one of the most significant distinguishing characteristics of their smartphones versus their competitors, and that if you wanted an alternative you could easily and almost certainly already have decided to use a competitor's product instead.
Similar for MySQL.

300 megajoules is 83 kilowatt hours

a typical power price at trading hubs is US$40 per megawatt hour, though this varies considerably depending on many factors and is sometimes actually negative

a typical retail price is US$120 per megawatt hour

so this is about US$10 worth of electrical energy

How exactly would the US enforce any such regulation? It seems obvious that Bytedance simply would ignore it.

Just tell her not to enable developer mode. This is FUD: Apple would clearly have the right to determine the side-loading process as they see fit, and they can put in all sorts of protections to prevent novice users from accessing it easily. Think parental mode type protections. Apple is the master of UX; surely they can figure out a way to keep things secure for users who need it to be?

Yes but, as far as I know, research into achieving laser induced fusion hasn't itself run into many classification hurdles. I suspect that may not be the case with the scaling phase.
Now we've reached a deadlock, since as far as I can tell, your interpretation and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33976153 are incompatible.
Still is. The French got that right.

To me the term "Engineer" means that someone holds an Engineering degree. And that degree allows me to make certain assumptions about what the Engineer knows.

For instance, I expect anyone holding such a degree (wherever they studied) and claiming to be a software engineer to have:

- A solid background in mathematics, at least applied.
- A solid background in Computer Science (algorithm, data-structures, discreet math)
- A solid background in Applied Computer Science (networking, operating system, build system, electronics, databases). I expect them to have built a few non-trivial projects.
- A knowledge of project management (what's a Gant chart, waterfall, agile methodologies) and economics (able to read financial statements and understand basic accounting and corporate structure) not CFA level of course.
- Communication abilities (I expect them to have written papers and technical reports as part of their degree).

Two out of these five elements are domain-specific; the rest is universal across engineering disciplines.

Note that you don't need an engineering degree to know all that; John Carmack would tick all these boxes. But he's an exception.
Remember the last sentence: "Or they could mean something else, depending on which traditions you are used to."

Yes it is different but it doesn’t seem to give you anything that is better than what DT and refinement types give you. So why not simply use DT or refinement types? I know that in research you have to come up with something new to write papers about. Even if it isn’t actually better in practice. However this seems to be aimed at being a practical non-ivory tower language?

What irked me the most in that post is that dude clearly knew he didn't pay $12 initially but tried to hide this fact.

As for forex, at least he's actually from Turkey. People around the world have been abusing Turkey currency exchange rate for these online service fees for years (Google and Steam are notable ones, but there are quite a few others like Spotify, Netflix..).

I don't know the technicality about this, but most, if not all, of these non-financial companies seem can only update their exchange rate once in a while (not to mention there is also regional pricing involved). So as soon as some violent exchange rate change happens, there are often days or even months to grab some sweet discounts by simply switching currency.
What security features are you talking about? Third party stores will only have the API features as Apple adds them, and the law only forces the same feature access as their own first party store. Does Apple's own App Store allow you to turn off security features?
I have been a HN user for a long time. Honestly, I disagree. Most HN users commenting here with smart stuff about fusion, just read it on another page a day or a week ago, from a bite-sized article or a reddit comment.

Anything you read on the internet, explaining any advanced scientific concepts like fusion etc... take it with a huge grain of salt.

Wouldn't that unevenness only affect 2^31 - 2 and 2^31 - 1, so a negligible fraction of the integers? Was that tiny discrepancy enough to make your calculations?

In other words, what do you mean that it was done by doing mod 3 of a signed int32? If it was a monotonically increasing or random int32, I don't see how that unevenness would manifest in a meaningful way.

Nice notes, I’ve also been using Zig for AoC. Instead of that queue, I prefer to use std.fifo.LinearFifo, which instead of being backed by a linked list, is backed by a simple ring buffer.

This buffer can either be statically allocated, dynamically allocated, or passed in if you have a preexisting buffer.
