Apple has controlled the podcast industry through the iTunes podcast directory since day one.

They’ve been benevolent and haven’t cracked down on things. They let basically any podcast in for free. They let 3rd party clients use their directory for free.

They ARE the podcast industry. And they’ve been open.

I see this purely as a reaction to Spotify and Google and others trying to grab and control the industry with private “podcasts” that can only be listened to in their custom app.

They’re trying not to be shoved out. And they’re big enough to be able to hold it.

It would be great if 3rd party apps on iOS could access your podcast subscriptions.

But this is way better to me than standing by and letting Spotify or whoever destroy the industry.

(I subscribe to podcasts, but not through Apple since I can’t use my preferred app, Overcast).

This is impossible to respond to without a point to argue against. IM-not-so-HO, I have fantastic understanding of the political system.
It's wild how low quality so many of the comments are on reddit, to the point that it makes me wonder "Why did this person comment something so empty and non-contributing to a post that already had 3000 comments?"

I don't know whether to believe people are so wasteful of their own time or whether this is just low-effort bot posting to build consensus. Combined with how harshly and instantly main subreddits like /r/politics and /r/news shadow ban accounts, it's basically impossible to dissent
At the end of the day, the so-called AI generated art is a result of millions of artworks which were consumed by the AI model while training. I always like to draw parallels between AI copyrights and NFTs in the Web3 world. While minting NFT == having a digital copyright on the art piece, you pay a gas fees for doing so which gets distributed to the community as a reward to enabling it. I would love to see similar mechanisms in the AI world where the community get rewards for someone using Stable Diffusion (and not just Stability AI).

Yeah, I think the wiki statement might be poorly worded, but the way I interpret it is something like:

- they learned base 20 counting verbally at home, possibly simple additions, multiplications, and such too

- they learned base 10 english counting as well, and eventually written arithmetic with Arabic numerals

- but there was a missing link in having to translate bases that made it harder for them to understand the underlying patterns of written arithmetic or even algebra

- having the new written numerals provided that missing bridge, allowing them to round out their understanding

To be clear that's just armchair speculation on my part, but that's how I interpreted it. They went from having a challenge of a missing mental connection, to having the advantage of two perspectives.

But certainly there's confounders, like perhaps the new numeral system motivated more interest and family support in math.
Yep, I use it for all my projects now. It's nice to know that there's basically no way for me to accidently mess up access control other than messing up the roles. Got a loose SQL command running? Or even maybe SQL injection? No problem at all.
Thank you for this. That's exactly what I was getting at; you illustrated it far better.

While this is not one of the 7200 scanners claimed by VueScan[1], it might be worth talking to those folks. With their experience they might be able to reverse-engineer the protocol.

If not (and I'm sure this is not an acceptable idea to a purist like OP) I would consider using a good consumer-grade scanner and post-process with Topaz AI[2], which produces absolutely astonishing results in my experience. Yes, maybe it is inventing the pixels it adds, but they look like the right pixels nonetheless.

I thought I read somewhere that HTTP/3 can use UDP now. Thought I'm not sure if it can purely use UDP or if it needs to be bootstrapped by a TCP connection first.

It would be handy if the HTTP standard had some support for a minimal UDP connection for resource constrained webservers.
I was being charitable and assuming absolute worst case scenario. But I agree.
Yandex reverse image search is very good. I use it more than tineye, bing, or goog. It either gives you the exact matches if it can find them, or else it can infer what is desired and show many similar matches.
IIRC MIPS does the reverse of x86 and ARM too.
The article says "Total employment in hospitals in 2021 was 9% higher than in the year before the pandemic in the six OECD countries we surveyed" but then doesn't really follow up, calling it a productivity loss and saying "Hospitals are, in other words, doing less with more".

What it doesn't look into is the staff turnover. The burnout it mentions means many experienced providers shifted to other work, either in the field or out, that isn't patient care. If hospitals have hired more to fill openings, they are younger, inexperienced providers fresh out of school. That translates to worse care.

In addition, the article doesn't look at how much of the increased staff is administrative or other non-care positions. I know from personal experience that ICU nurses are in extremely short supply. Many of the ones working in hospitals are traveling nurses, not employees of the hospital. The nurses make more money that way, they get a great deal more flexibility in where and when they work, and, like software contractors, they don't appear on the same side of the hospital's ledger as full time employees.
All of those, assuming there's nothing malicious in the code. Google see if any of their code had been stolen, not like they can do much right now.
If corps are people, then it's men with multiple personalities disorder, with the number of personalities sometimes reaching tens.

Probably Yandex will start watching their infrastructure very closely, and go through all known attack vectors that haven't been prioritized before to fix them ASAP.

Won't be a boon for OSS, any author would be idiotic to read stolen source code and then decide to create a OSS library/project based on what they learn from it.
For an early stage company (first two or three funding rounds), it's probably a good way to get mocked, on either side. As a founder asking a VC to sign an NDA you look like an inexperienced idiot, and as a VC you look like a pompous idiot.

For later rounds with high investor demand to be the last private money before IPO, I could see the justification for founders asking to sign an NDA. And investors don't really have any leverage in that situation. They don't have to sign the NDA but the founders don't need their money, either.

will there come a time when computers are strong enough to read in the images, then re-create a virtual game world from them, and then reverse-engineer from seeing feet poking out of the box, that a human must be inside. Right now Tesla cars can take in the images and decide turn left, turn right etc... but they don't reconstruct, say, a Unity-3D game world on the fly.
> it actually seems to be getting worse compared to 5 years ago.

You pretty clearly don't know what you're talking about.

> Apparently Cruise and Waymo are doing much more impressive things, but they only get a fraction of the press.

They are doing objectively much less impressive things by relying on sensors that require much less intelligent analysis and will lead them to dead ends at the higher end of abilities that Tesla's approach won't.
Have you considered... Asking? Asking why you are doing something? All of these changes are going to have a purpose behind them, and at least in these examples those reasons are likely to be things a dev is in a position to metric the results of themselves. How much throughput did you add by switching to Flume? How much did you reduce bandwidth with that binary format? Even if you don't have access to the production metrics (and most places you will) you could estimate based on synthetic data.

Even for product work I've yet to meet the product person who isn't eager to talk about how a new feature was received when a dev asks.

> Plausible Analytics being a prime example.

I would say that in the case of analytics, there are more things to consider than price and ease of installation when considering self-hosting. By not self-hosting you are sending your users data to a 3rd party, which might have impact on their privacy or on the law compliance.
It applies to applications as well. My general beliefs on the topic: most improvements that people come up with don't move the needle for the business. Doing the same thing but a little better will sometimes have an impact, generally not. The exception to this is speed. Speed improvements deliver more consistently than anything else, and they keep delivering as you improve. Improving speed is the surest bet you can make.
What a bizarre choice. Why 2 years? to guarantee one election cycle without Trump trying to void the election and lead a army to ransack the Capitol ?

The Chinese made ones are even cheaper, open up a TP-Link "desktop 8 port Gigabit Switch" and you will find the current "leader" in that market. Those datasheets though will be in Chinese so it helps to be able to read Chinese. (various translate apps are not well suited to datasheets in my experience)
this is one of the reasons I would highly recommend digitizing any analog film media you might have lying around that has any value whatsoever. Technology like this, that greatly assists in “crossing over“ the old media to the forever-digital media, is disappearing in accessibility due to lack of utility – once everyone goes digital-native (which has already occurred), there is less and less of a reason to have high quality analog to digital converters.

Why on earth would you execute anything from the dump?
I'm not so sure about this. I support things and I've supported them over absurd growth periods for years. I've lost track of how many zeros are on the number of things per thing; it doesn't matter.

The process is: You're in charge of a thing, it grows, it breaks, you fix it, it grows, it breaks, you refactor it, it grows, it breaks, you fix it, it grows you replace it and shard it into N things, they grow, they break, etc. The metrics matter, but after a while it's just bigger and bigger but gotta work, so you just make it work.

Oh -- obviously I'm not an engineer -- I don't wear a striped hat and drive a train or sign blue prints.
Hilariously enough, Kojima is enough of a technothriller fabulist that DARPA is explicitly part of that franchise's lore - too bad they didn't live up to his depiction.

> Nobody needs to read 8 bullet points on an internship you had 7 gigs ago which has no relevance to the job you're applying for. Contractors are particularly bad offenders here in my experience. No hiring manager will read through a 13 page resume for somebody with 6 years experience.

The first bullet point for each one of those is:

* Followed the Software Development Lifecycle

The second bullet point is:

* Attended all required meetings and ceremonies for agile scrum

At the end of each contract is two lines of technologies used in the environment (though not necessarily by the candidate). For example, kuberentes will certainly be on that list. When asked about helm or kustomize or kubectl: "Oh, the build put an image out on docker hub and then the operations team did all the work to deploy it."
I think you're on to something, but I don't think it has as much to do with China as you think. What data are you using to suggest that China will surpass US wealth and power by 2024-2025?
> If you’re going into podcasting as a business, don’t skimp on having a lawyer review the things you’ll be signing up and paying for, and if you skimp on that and get unlucky, expect to be doing the work required to move providers if what you signed up for isn’t satisfactory. It’s really that simple.

There’s a comedic version of this in I Think You Should Leave where a party planner hires an impersonator but fails to read the fine print that says the impersonator can hit anyone he wants to.

The issue is that people who get into podcasting don’t know ahead of time that it will become a business. That’s not “skimping” on hiring a lawyer, that’s just going about life as any reasonable person does. I’m sure even Jesus himself wouldn’t have read all of the terms and conditions for every service he used.
To be fair upscaling with videos isn't necessarily making information up, but depending on the method used may use information from other frames, wich I think isn't the same as speculative reconstruction for photos.
For increasing the frame rate for videos this depends on the model used, but in general most of them don't add any new information, but instead calculate how something looked in-between two frames. https://medium.com/axinc-ai/flavr-a-machine-learning-model-t...
I get your skepticism. I honestly don't know what the traditional medicine did to my body other than that it took away the physical suffering I was feeling. Did it mask some symptoms? Maybe. The thing is, the mainstream medical system failed to find any problem. They didn't diagnose me with anything or offer me any treatment despite the fact that I felt like I was dying every day. They refused to investigate any possible causes and told me I was not sick.

A few mainstream doctors prescribed medicines to relieve my symptoms without addressing the underlying root causes. You seem to think that's a feature of traditional medicine, but it's actually quite common in mainstream medicine as well.
Partly orchestration, but mostly in the design of those proprietary parts. There's decades of institutional knowledge and engineering iterations involved here. IP is a huge concern because if a Chinese competitor got their hands on the engineering drawings, there would not be a whole lot to stop them from producing copies.

Patents are viewed somewhat skeptically, since if they are not actually enforceable against a likely offender, they simply serve as a disclosure mechanism.
Well, OK, and I certainly can't refute personal experience even if I don't totally understand it.

I played with C parsers (using my own parser generator ... written in Modula-2 as it happens) back in '82 and never found the grammar overly intimidating. Of course you're familiar, but just do a quick scroll up and down to remind yourself of the length (or lack of it):

https://cs.wmich.edu/~gupta/teaching/cs4850/sumII06/The%20sy...

And it seems 25% of that is the expression syntax which really would be better (more efficiently) handled outside of the grammar via precedence climbing (which would also neatly handle Algol's user-defined precedence), and which would result in a smaller parser as well as faster one.

As far as I/O, not sure that Pascal had too much to crow about there ... you could open files, but not close them, no way to associate a filename with a file, a need to put any non-temporary file as a program parameter, the odd file buffer variable concept, with an equally odd syntax treating file types as if they were pointers to the element type...

A language that fascinated me at the time, but I never got to play with was Occam - designed specifically for the Transputer which was really way ahead of it's time and never caught on.

Not exactly.

Apple has been basically been providing a public service with their free podcast directory since 2012.

There is nothing comparable in the case of the Safari on iOS situation.
> They absolutely host the source material. I signed up for it myself to test!

Technically you're right, which everyone knows is the best kind — the transcoded and DRM encrypted audio has to live somewhere.

If you want to call that "hosting" that's fine, but "podcast hosting" usually means what you presumably do — RSS feeds pointing to standards-based, unencrypted audio (and even video) files.

What Apple "hosts" is a transformed, proprietary distribution format, which enables the kinds of use cases that Apple Podcasters Program unlocks.
Sign bits of NaN is one of the dumbest parts of the 754 standard. 6.3 specifies that "the standard does not interpret the sign bit of a NaN" and then the very next sentence lists four cases where the sign bit of NaN has semantic meaning.

I just decided to focus on getting through life as comfortably as possible. Chasing after extra money I don't need doing things I don't want to just means subsidizing less hard-working people at the expense of my own well being.

If I were in the US and could make $500k for being a typical employee then I may have been more motivated. It's not that I don't have my own business plans, but I'm generally taking it easy outside of a corporate career.
Hmm, didn't know they had one, but I'm let down by Google's 90% of the time so I'll try it next time.

I believe you! But intent doesn't express yourself, and often gets more obscure the shorter/more generic a comment is.

When it comes to moderation, we have to go by effects, not intent. Specifically, we have to by "effects in the general statistical case", if that makes sense.

Just something I observed in researching a certain specialty on Yelp:

at least 1/2, and maybe 2/3 of the negative reviews of doctors had to do with their billing staff, not the care they received from the doctor:

Hey HN nice job on shadow banning of this article
They are still the most popular search engine in Russia, they have the best brand, etc. Intangible stuff like that is hard to copy. Running a search engine on the scale of Yandex is very expensive so I don't think that they are going to be replaced by some startup that copies their code and adds a few features. Probably a bunch of bugs will be found but that's not the end of the world. Apparently they handle images pretty well so parts of that may be (illegally) copied in some places.
Did you actually read the blog? The very first sentence is:

Realistically, besides the enterprise customers, it's mostly gamers still buying Windows PCs (most of them build it themselves out of parts and likely reusing an upgrade-able Windows 8+ key, instead of buying a prebuilt with OEM Windows). I guess they were trying to get into education as well (Chromebook compete), but with kids back in person that boat has sailed.
Definitely! I was explicitly talking about things like "AI upscaling". Not simple interpolation (which keeps the image spectrum the same and is effectively just anti-aliasing), for example.

To be honest though, the method you linked does seem to fall in the bucket I am warning against: It does make information up, it does add that made up information. Those frames in between are not simply interpolated, or you would not need an ML model.

Case in point, individual droplets in that example animation may not have existed in reality, or moved the way they did here. But hopefully that's fixed by just dropping the interpolated frames, at least.

Joshua should have hired his own lawyer.

IANAL, but, my argument here is that the defendant is proceeding pro se (representing themselves), and utilizing a _tool_ to assist in researching their defense.

Joshua and DoNotPay are _not_ practicing law nor providing a legal service (make sure to have plenty of disclaimers to this effect), but are merely providing a resource and a tool for individuals who are proceeding pro se.

Of course, the failure of the legal system is that being right doesn't guarantee you win, and even if you win, you can wind up bankrupt from the expense of defending yourself.

It is truly sad when violence is used to stifle progress.
For them to relicense it, they would need to hold the copyright to all the code. Do the Signal authors actually have it?
