> They just put their users ahead of developers

Users can go fuck themselves the day Apple decides to stop supporting hardware they bought but still prevent other vendors to provide alternative, up-to-date browsers on it.

I know, I inherited an iPad 2 that was lying around in a drawer. This machine is way less useful than what it could be because of its ancient Safari version.

This is the second time I read this sentence in this thread, it sounds like a cult.
Yes, as I said we have different definitions.

For me, it's matrix multiplications on data made to output things that are approximations to what a human has written before on that question or text you're prompting it.

I know how training a deep neural network works and there's no reading involved for me :)

It's just estimating what a person would write (being trained on a really large data set of what people wrote). If it's trained on gibberish, it will just output gibberish. If I ask you to read a book with gibberish words would you do it? ChatGPT would (according to you) "read it" and recite the gibberish I gave it without a problem.

The matrix multiplications used to build these models don't show any comprehension, agency, or consciousness. Their point is to estimate the next data point given the previous data point, they will perform the same task independent from which training data we give them. That's not reading.

I don't say this might not change in the future, yet treating ChatGPT like a human using words like "reading," "understanding" etc. or intelligence for that matter is just anthropomorphizing for me.
I’ve read the first chapter and the mosquito was… beautiful. Actually lol’ed at that.

Anyway very good material. Correctly identifies lack of mistrust in the data in most engineers. Doesn’t go far enough in saying that folks like to play with toys (models) instead of doing tireless and boring but important work.
LED and incandescent bulbs are artificial lighting like m&ms and avocado are food. Any incandescent bulb gives black body full spectrum, turn it down to get friendly fire-like yellow, and most LED (even visibly white) give a very spiky spectrum plus you choose between PWM or high brightness.
I can't speak for the Apple Watch, but the O2/BPM readings on some other watches are often dropped/delayed with the operating system taking priority. I was trying to use the heart rate data for a pet project and found its practically useless, on Samsung's watches its just enough data to show a few fancy numbers and thats about it.

On the contrary, the Apple Watch ECG is quite accurate, not quite enough to replace the system the doctor makes me wear, but enough that apple can get a general idea of any defects and tell you to go to the doctor. The "regular" hear rate sensor isn't anywhere near good enough to be taken seriously, but its leaps ahead my previous samsung.

I dream of the day where my Apple Watch can replace the myriad of annoying wires and sensors I have to wear to monitor myself. Even then, the Apple Watch has greatly helped me out when I've fallen and need assistance, and I've gifted several to my family just in case.
Mermaid's single biggest value prop for me is its ability to connect nodes "well enough" without me needing to fiddle with it. Sometimes I want to ("if I were doing it by hand, I'd put that over there", etc), but I love that it just works. Also that I can encode diagrams in text, so I get all of the tooling that we've developed around text. Feels so obvious in hindsight.

I'm also like this, very rarely do I have trouble falling asleep and usually it's because I can't stop thinking about something.

But I feel like it's really that I'm just that tired in the evenings, and feel like I always needed more sleep than the average person.

We'd need stats about the number of people reporting problems with falling asleep and quality of sleep over the decades I guess. This might very well just be something that manages to push people over the edge and thus makes a difference, just not for those of us who are at the more extreme ends of the spectrum.

Also even if it doesn't affect my sleep quality noticeably, I wonder about the cancer risk part; is that a direct result of worse sleep, or might that still affect me?
> Artificial lighting has existed for hundreds, if not tens of thousands, of years.

Yes, and the climate has always been changing too.

A large part of the post is about the exact reasons why this kind of artificial light is different.

You didn’t provide an argument. “I don’t want to” is not a reason, I mean in theory that’s an argument to anything in life, but it’s not a good one, just a childish response.

> Remember, even websites like HN and Pornhub would need to verify your age with your ID.

That’s not true. How do you know what legislators would come up with? It’s perfectly possible to have Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok to have implement ID and age verification but not HN.

There is another use case for async in client-side JavaScript that often gets overlooked: modeling the flow of UI.

So, let's say you need to show a "dialog" which, upon exit, should execute a piece of code (e.g. to show another piece of UI). Maybe that dialog can be invoked from multiple places, and the code to execute (after the dialog) changes accordingly.

You could do that via callbacks, but that is not very composable, and is generally messy.

Better solution: a Promise which gets resolved when the user exits the dialog! Composing multiple pieces of UI then becomes equivalent to composing multiple (async) function calls, you can pass output from one as the input to another, use exceptions to "circuit break" the UI flow, etc.

Well that was far less controversial than the comments here suggested.

I read a call for innovation, the general thrust of which is based on the (obvious?) argument that if you build every new system to be compatible with the old one you limit the capabilities of the new.

Of course, the customer requesting that compatibility gets what they want -- an easier time building/porting software.

Alternate reading: ~POSIX (or just having a standard) is so useful that everyone wants it everywhere all of the time and I want something better.
> the runtime handles synchronization of data for you.

The first implementation probably just synchronizes every single change in state of the worlds database.

I wonder if you can flag things that only the server should know, and somehow calculate what each client can see and know about.
Especially over the last few years around most of the east coast, for me Apple Maps has become far better than google maps for everything, except reviews. Especially for biking and public transport as you said.

It’s probably healthy to have some vitriol directed at Safari. I tried to imagine a similar piece written about Chrome to make sure I wasn’t disliking this piece just because I use Apple products, and I realized I don’t need to imagine - they exist, I’ve read them. Sure, the complaints are a little different, it’s about leading the standards body by the nose and trying to turn the browser into an operating system because then Google would have an operating system with deeply pervasive ad tracking built in and already accepted by most users. This is just what it looks like to hold the other perspective on the matter.
I'd wager most people use ChatGPT for things that GPT-3 does better. If you want a chatbot, then yes, use the chat version lol.

But most of the time I want search built into my command prompt or something dumb like an idea for an emoji or powerpoint slide title. Then raw GPT is a lot better. Or, say, things like writing code based on my existing code.

There's some benefit to chat, like iterative design. Say, asking it to write a story, then asking it to change parts of the story or tweak it to have different morals. But this can also be fixed with better prompt engineering, idk.

Huh? H. Sapiens is a recent species, and has in its short career already brought most ecosystems worldwide to near collapse. It is 'successful' in the way a wastrel scion of a wealthy family appears at the height of his spending, just before penury, destitution, and syphilis hits.

"Deep down we all know it's bad"

Really? I have never felt that way about social media (esp. Fb), it's only the studies demonstrating the harmful effects that have convinced me that, at least in their current incarnations, at a population level the cons of social media outweigh the pros. That there's still no good alternative to FB for taking advantage of its "pros" is my biggest concern.
Same applies to Rust, with the difference that there isn't a story for shipping binary libraries, that is why OSes like Haiku care about keeping the ABI consistent, those BeOS applications aren't going to be recompiled.
In Photos, yes. I just AirDropped one onto my phone and it showed up in Photos just fine.

Safari support is another matter, and runs on its own schedule. I think Safari, in some configurations, supported WebP before macOS did.
When I’ve talked to professional writers, they say the best way to become a good writer is reading the work of writers you admire. And not just reading their work but analysing and dissecting it. Find sentences and paragraphs you admire and study them. Pull them apart to see how they work. Try to understand the syntax and the rhythm and the rhetoric underlying them. Write variations until you remember them. Eventually you’ll have a mental catalogue you can call on while you’re writing.

I think there's a real opportunity here, if done well. It should be feasible to get initial load times down to single digit seconds, https://venge.io style, but then with progressive enhancement to AAA level graphics assets. I think that could be disruptive.

Load times on most games are ridiculously huge especially if you include download/install times, which you should, and not just initially but for patches too. There's no fundamental reason it needs to be so slow, and I think the industry is underestimating how much it's collectively costing them.

I think it is simpler. It used to be MBUX and that was hard to communicate to people on the street. MB.OS is a lit closer to iOS which helps.
And this time the better format won right? Unlike Betamax which I hadn’t realised was actually invented 2 years before VHS and it’s fizzle-out was basically because of Sony patents.

That covers pretty much everything.
> But what if developers see behind the veil? What if they begin to reflect and internalise Apple's abandonment of web apps after iOS 1.0 as an (eventual) exercise of monopolistic power that held the web back for more than a decade?

Uh… I think I and every other developer has been saying this for many years. The number of developers who hadn’t “seen behind the veil” must be vanishingly small. Follow the Money was so obviously the reason. Don’t update Safari, reap that sweet sweet app money.

> One approach is value-based contracts: "we'll work with you and charge X% of the value we deliver."

Which still loses to the other bidders who say "$X in $Y months for $Z dollars".
Anecdata, however: project-based learning is powerful because getting something to work brings pleasure and failing to make it work brings pain. Being able to manage cycles of pain-pleasure from various stages of building and refactoring a project (hardware can also be refactored) is the basis of learning.

Schools don't teach project-based learning because schools are not interested in learning; they are interested in child-rearing, not letting them kill each other while the parents are at work, and offering employment for teachers and administrators. In schools, generally, learning is an epiphenomenon, not even an afterthought, simply an accidental side effect.
so can you confirm it does not work in safari? I don't actually have an ios 16 device, but it's been green on caniuse.com for a while, so I just assumed it worked.

How do you invalidate the cache / do a clean build? I've previously seen errors sneak in to docker builds due to cache - where perhaps an upstream docker image was gone, or other dependencies had changed (most likely to happen if a license is changed, or something is yanked due to a security issue).

Blurays were more hardy and required less scratch fix buffing. I think they had an extra layer on it.

No it's because the web was designed for web pages.

It was not designed for highly dynamic, fluid, responsive experiences.
I remember that when the Starlink satellites first went up and people complained they were too visible, Starlink agreed to make future ones less so. I don't know why they didn't do that to begin with, maybe the metal is shiny by default and it's an extra cost to make it matte? Maybe it's about heat, since a matte object will absorb more from light? At any rate we're in dire need of some regulation around satellite visibility before we lose more of our night sky... oh, and flying drone billboards need to be banned before they catch on.
> It says he must, among other things, “immediately refrain from using your university position or university resources in connection with your outside engagement and activities for the personal gain of yourself or others”

How does this work? Isn't it very normal in US universities that professors are engaged in research with other (private and government) research institutions, use their university position and university resources, and are even funded by them? How/why is this "outside engagement" different? There must have been some basis on which the university put out this argument? What is the basis of this argument by the university?
Steering with just vertical motion alone won't work unpowered as well? At that size the pump has quite something to do, and needs to be temperated.

Power is needed for the pump to go up and down, eventual rudder/rotors, to keep hardware warm enough (!), and also large array because in contrast to Loon no transparent material but very reflective one, which has advantages but comes with more self-shading (counter with larger array).

Can't say Blu-Ray won with a resounding success neither… possibly because of Sony patents.

DVDs were still heavily used as compared to Blu-Ray, because people buying Blue-Rays were mostly people who had a PlayStation that could read them.

And a few years later, streaming services probably pushed the idea of buying a movie on a physical media a bit out of the window anyway.
