There's actually an industry, based on modding car software. I have a friend that does exactly that, as a hobby.

They mess with the firmware (usually by changing coefficients and thresholds), to make the car more performant (and probably fall foul of various environmental and safety laws).

And, then, there's VW's clever tweaking of their (completely legal) firmware...
There is no indication in that link, or any other links I have read on the topic that Apple is doing this via copyright.

Apple could be paying studio's to keep the products away from villain, Apple could be supplying devices or other services for free as a condition if they agree to those terms, Apple itself is a production company so directors and other people in the industry could be voluntary agreeing to it for their own professional reasons...

I have not read a single legal expert that claims Apple could successfully sue a studio for copyright or even trademark infringement if a bad guy was using an iPhone in a movie.
Fidelity and Vanguard have "core" positions (all money goes into these) that are yielding 4.4-4.7%. They're money market funds so are covered by SIPC insurance. If you're looking to open up something for your kid, might as well just open one up for yourself as well.
compose has no proper concept of service and its replicas. Deploying an update to a service in Compose can be problematic. Swarm also enables multi-node deployments, which you can't do with Compose.

k3s, as simple as it is compared to full k8s, still carries some of the complexity of k8s. Swarm just feels simpler and easier to manage.
Teacher, educator and father of three kids here. I strongly disagree that "there is not enough evidence based science in teaching" etc. If there is something really to highlight what's wrong with education systems all over the world, it's too much "evidence based science". Every educational psychologist and his dog has a novel theory how learning works, how something should be taught and have a ton of evidence why. And of course all generations of educators so far have been idiots. It's THE reason nobody wants to teach any more.

"Teachers are not only burnt out and undercompensated, they are also demoralized. They are being asked to do things in the name of teaching that they believe are mis-educational and harmful to students and the profession." (https://archive.ph/MEqrK)

The truth every teacher faces is that there is no single silver bullet. There is no any "method" in education that can replace simple things – time, effort, motivation, affiliation etc.
Got any actual evidence of this claim?
AWS’s market position is deteriorating rapidly. They’re now at just over 30% of market share compared to 50% in 2018. Meanwhile the trend right now is big companies pulling their core infra out of the cloud and into their own datacenters. They also haven’t managed to launch a game-changing best-in-class service or feature in 5 years outside of maybe custom lambda runtimes.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this AI wave pushes azure into the forefront.
For those outside the US. America went to war on people of color in the late 70s until 2014. It’s still the primary police handbook training guide for dealing with people of color. People of color is a racist way of saying Not White. We targeted the very social and economic policies we created for the poor and disenfranchised and then had the gall to be offended when they resorted to exactly what we created. This racism against black humans has been raging since 1776 in this country. With no signs of stopping. We would arrest people of color for drugs we put on the market and gave them ridiculous prison sentences where the white guy would walk with a fine, black people would get 10 years. Anyway, rant over, it’s fucked up.

EDIT: Down voted to suppress the truth.
I just took a double-look at the Betterment high-yield savings account they'd offered to me previously (I already have an account there for investments), which I'd dismissed because it seemed convenient to keep my savings and checking in the same place (Chase), and it's 4.2%! I've been getting 0.01% at Chase!

Needless to say I'm going to be trying it out! Thanks Apple!

Edit: It looks like they have a checking account too (https://www.betterment.com/checking), which also has better terms than Chase.

People who know more about this stuff than me: is there any reason not to just move over completely? Technically Betterment is not a bank, but it sounds like these cash accounts are backed by accounts at banks that Betterment manages for you, which means they're insured (and in fact, you can insure more than $250k because multiple banks are involved). Is there any downside I'm not seeing?

> Don't kids ask those things when you teach them to read with phonics?

Pronunciation rules are taught along with the words that follow them and then you learn the many exceptions. Just in Chemistry class you learn the ideal gas law and then you learn the deviations.

Phonics is a strategy to deal with unfamiliar words and it works pretty well as a starting point.

English spelling and pronunciation has to be memorized, fortunately young kids have an enormous capacity for memorization so it works ok.

Many school programs use the opposite strategy now. They don't teach phonics and they don't teach spelling. "Inventive spelling" where kids just make up spelling and they aren't corrected is used for the first two years. At the start of the third year they are suddenly judged on spelling. But they just spent two years practicing incorrect spelling!
Just to comment on the specific issue at hand:

The science of how kids learn to read (at least for English an phonetic languages like it) is pretty much settled. But how curricula are built on the theory is another question.

And studies show that the "cueing" approach is not effective or even counter-productive. Yet how those curricula are laid out with "leveled books" allows children to appear like they know how to read at advancing levels. Actually they're just memorizing and using context clues to "read", without being able to read the words in isolation.

That's what makes the "whole language" approach so insidious: it can be years before parents and teachers recognize that the kids can't really read. And in some cases, breaking the bad habits of guessing and using context instead of decoding makes it take even longer to properly teach the kids to read.
I love languages, but "little" doesn't fit. The reason is that once you pull the thread, you create a boundary and things love to cross boundaries.

My Adama language/platform ( https://www.adama-platform.com/ ) , for example, started as a simple way to manage state within a document and now I've turned it into a distributed system among other things. I'm very happy with it, and I've decided to have a real go at building a company around it.
I've found that it is reasonably competent at most coding tasks; especially on Expert mode.

Open AI still hasn't exactly reached the level of gpt3.5. GPT-4 is way ahead of anything.

> I think traveler01 does have a valid question. Essentially, with all of their engineers, why is Google so limited? [...] They just don't seem to be able to monetize beyond ads.

Google's non-ads businesses are about $60 billion / year revenue. That seems like quite a lot!

To put it in context, that non-ads business would be in the top 20 for all tech companies by revenue. More than e.g. Oracle or Cisco. Roughly the same as IBM or HP. A bit smaller than Intel. Those are not small or unsuccessful companies (e.g. Oracle has 140k employees).

It actually seems pretty amazing that what HN thinks is Google's failed side hustle is comparable to the entire business of what would have been considered tech giants a few years ago.
Google has spent the last 10 years ago making Google worse. They achieved this in large part by making the whole Internet worse [0], but a search engine with results of the quality of Google 10 years ago would be a serious competitor.

[0] For example, Google used to have a fairly strictly enforced rule that indexable content had to actually be visible to an unauthenticated user. The current crop of sites that have apparently useful content in snippets but that hide it when loaded would have been penalized, possibly severely.

Microsoft does this stuff. Like forcing Minecraft accounts to migrate onto MSFT accounts, which locked out a lot of older players by requiring the original email address used to be verified. There's no use in complaining about it; you should just anticipate that MSFT ruins everything it touches and get ready to switch.
Wealthfront offers real 2FA (TOTP) and their Cash account pays 4.3%. Don't think there is direct Yubikey support yet.

They are not a bank, but spread your deposits over multiple banks if needed in order to achieve high FDIC insurance limits.

They also issue revocable unique login codes for some 3rd party app authentication, which I appreciate a lot. Some other 3rd party connections just use Plaid or similar.
> It's almost as if Samsung is a lot more dependent on Google than the other way around.

in a pinch, Samsung could just fork the AOSP project and continue forward without Google, it would be trivial for app makers to re-publish their apps in a Samsung app store (and many already do)
They used to ship a Google Drive app for Windows that adds it to Explorer similar to OneDrive. They killed it, as with everything else.

Best $0.85 they ever spent.
This makes me a little uncomfortable. Google started integrating AI into their search engine in 2015 and it's my opinion that in the same timeline their search results have progressively gotten worse. There may not be a connection, but I know that I preferred the results I used to get, and sort of blame their downturn on AI. A search engine is an index, so I find it really important that it functions like one instead of a recommendation engine.
> I always thought that Google made a big blunder by not encroaching upon Microsoft's turf more aggressively.

I've always been shocked that Google didn't face antitrust action over using their internet video monopoly to kill Windows Phone. They wouldn't create a Youtube app for Windows Phone, nor would they allow Microsoft to create one themselves.
They are still going to be sandboxes, regular permissioned, apps. Nothing changes for most apps except they get a 100% cut of in-app sales.
Exactly this. When Apple tried "Premium Advertising" without sharing any Personas 10 years ago, it failed as it was expensive and didn't allow targeted marketing.

In the meantime Meta learnt that they can't allow others to extract their precious userdata and need to protect their position by clustering data into Personas for advertisers to select from.

Now Apple reenters the ad-business, using the very same scheme as Google/Meta (maintaining Personas based on userdata they safeguard) but with an unprecedented set of profiling data of its users, as they collect data on the Apple-ID level, spanning from positioning data over types of apps used and stocks you're watching to actual purchases in the physical world.

If people consider Meta/Google's practice as spying, I don't know what they expect Apple's Ads to be. Their T&C already describe that they create a persona from your data to display "Ads relevant to you", just like Meta/Google does...
> The number of folks who would have purchased the game, but didn't because their favorite streamer(s) didn't play it on-camera is guaranteed to be insignificant in the first year, and drop to effectively zero as the years wear on.

This seems completely and obviously wrong to me.

As long as Nintendo spends even a cent on ads (they DO spend in fact more than 500M USD/year on marketing), it is very obvious that media presence has a very significant, non-zero effect on their sales.

Is one view on a youtube stream for breath of the wild worth as much to them as an average ad-impression they paid for? Probably not. But it's MOST CERTAINLY not worth 0. Thats just not how advertising works, and pushing that argument seems misleading and dishonest to me.

People don't even need to CONSUME the content-- just having it pop up on some feed might be enough to sway 1/10000 towards buying a Nintendo game the next time they're bored. Or need a gift.
OpenBSD begrudgingly made an exception for LLVM/Clang, after vocal opposition to the re-licencing. It currently uses LLVM/Clang 13 and has been making progress towards 15. Licensing is not the problem here. Most of the sanitizers are simply not enabled in the version shipped in base, and require runtime libraries that have not been ported to OpenBSD.

Valgrind exists in ports, but it is ancient and broken. It does not play well with various security mitigations.
Being given rewards for hitting specific targets is the opposite of wages. Wages come more or less regardless of what you do, as long as you don't get fired. This would be more like bonuses or self-employment. Also it's not much different to rewarding kids with pocket money for doing household chores. This doesn't mess kids up, more like the opposite: it teaches them that work leads to rewards.
I got the 1T GPT-4 number from here - this is the video that goes with the Microsoft "Sparks of AGI" paper, by a Microsoft researcher that had early access to GPT-4 as part of their relationship with OpenAI.

Would you say that this satisfies the spirit of the company policy? Or is it a bit of a hack to get around it?

I ask because we are about to produce a similar policy at work. We can see the advantages of it, but likewise, we can't have company data held in their systems.
Cannot stress enough how much you should run, not walk, from Wells Fargo. When I was foolish enough to seek a mortgage with them, they instructed me to sign documents stating that a) my partner was my spouse (and doubled-down on that when I highlighted the error), and b) a loan from my uncle to provide necessary "buffer funds" was in fact a gift that would not be repaid (it wasn't, and they knew that). Any bank that knowingly instructs a client to sign a single fraudulent document should be viewed with caution; twice is unconscionable.

I'm currently very happy with the Vanguard Cash Plus account for savings (https://investor.vanguard.com/investment-products/cash-inves...), though I think it's invite-only. I see you've got plenty of good suggestions in replies, though - you'll do fine. Good luck! :)
It would be nice for nintendo to actually come out and SAY what they have a problem with instead of this kabuki theater of trying to find commonalities between a bunch of takedowns. However they aren't answering pointcrows emails to their legal department.
> OSS is already "right to repair" ... yet how many people actually contribute something when they find an issue?

It doesn't matter. It just takes one, and then it's fixed for everyone.

I generally do contribute. Now I'm employed to do so, but I still do the same when working on some hobby thing.
Is your argument that because Apple's review process has a lot of false positives, that it must be good? Consider a "review" process that consists of rolling two dice, and rejecting the app if you rolled snake eyes.
> Wrong.

Correct. [0] "Monthly Active Users"

That does NOT say "Daily". Surely you can read that.

> Moreover, you're still attempting to pass off 50,000 as something you just didn't make up out of thin air.

Even it is wrong, There are no sources out there that is verifiable and you haven't provided one after I debunked your figures (which is actually the MAUs).

So as long as the exact DAUs is unknown, the figures can be estimated to be as low as 100,000 DAUs and even worst case 50,000 DAUs.

Good reliable text to speak on mobile is quite seemless and pleasant. For instance to "type" messages or thoughts as you're biking. I used a proprietary offline one from Vivo and it was great (unfortunately the keyboard had other issues)

I'm not a native speaker but Microsoft's pinyin on windows and Google's pinyin input system on Linux both give much better results than the few open source alternatives I've tried .. so the situation is only marginally better at the desktop (I haven't tried text to speak on the desktop)

It's one of those weird areas where theyre both supposedly old solved problems - but for some reason nobody has bothered to make open source solutions
Still complex compared to Polish, which has a ratio of letters-to-phonemes much closer to 1 (five digraphs in total). While it's a hard language to learn overall, its orthography is one of the parts that are pretty simple compared to English. Only three homophone pairs are present throughout the language (H/CH, Ż/RZ, Ó/U); voicing and devoicing is a thing (PRZ... almost always sounds like PSZ...); Ą and Ę have a rule where they are fully nasalized depending on context; palatalization is everywhere, and it's probably the most complex part. Foreign words are very often polonized ("onomatopeja" from your example).

Maybe I'm biased as a Polish native but I do not think the above is comparable to the mess of exceptions that is English.
And if I want to respond to it, the "create account" button doesn't work.
I don't use the Facebook app. I hardly ever use FB, anyway (I am an admin on a user group for an OSS project I authored), but their app is a well-known nightmare.

I use their Web interface, which, I suspect, they deliberately cripple, in order to try forcing me to use their app.
As someone used Android and Apple co-currently, this is it. Android apps I supported (camera and photo apps, some music) all went down in some form and were gone in some time. Furthermore, the quality was always lower than any iOS counterparts.

Apple apps almost never have these problems and are higher quality.
This is a dumb question, but how does an individual buy those? Through any regular brokerage?
Is this really about AI and ChatGPT? Google search just sucks now. I actually get better results from Bing and Duck Duck Go.

With their inferior products? Not a chance. Google's apps are so far away from even competing with Microsoft's it's not even funny. Google Sheets doesn't even have proper tables. I wouldn't even be surprised if they cancelled it.

Lack a source but for many this will be the first generation in a long time where today's new parents will be unable to provide an equal or better quality of life to their children - especially in big urban centers which have seen the full effects of stratification.

What you wrote about the Wikipedia page is not consistent with what I read on the Wikipedia page:

>While working as a marketing director in the early 1960s, Engelmann became interested with how children learn.

>[...]

>In 1964, he left his job in advertising and became a research associate

>[...]

>In 1970, he moved from the University of Illinois to the University of Oregon in Eugene, becoming a Professor in the University's College of Education.[2][3]

He was never a public school teacher, although he may have taught students as a research associate. He was apparently teaching as a hobbyist, including homeschooling.

The kerfuffle about whether he was "actually teaching", however, actually misses the point. While you can, at least in principle, understand the experience of a student by experimenting on students, you will never understand the experience of a teacher by experimenting on students. Whatever method you come up with or promote must ultimately be implemented by real flesh-and-blood humans working under real constraints (including the limits of their own abilities and emotions) with realistic organizational and community dynamics. This is what I interpreted the original complaint about researchers versus engineers as analogized to software development to mean.
> I don't think this reasoning makes any sense. The company can just declare that replacing or altering the firmware voids the warranty.

It's still a cost, though. People are still going to file tickets for warranty replacements, it won't be until the company receives the broken item that they'll detect the firmware replacement (if they even can, what if the hardware damage broke the ability to check?), people return items to the store they bought them from where they can't even check...

It's honestly a whole mess that will absolutely wind up costing the company money in support and returns. You can argue that it's still worth the cost, but just declaring that altering the firmware voids the warranty doesn't stop people from trying, which costs money.
They lost literally billions of impressions by removing the non-consensual stuff?

You're saying "e.g. pirated" but let's be real it's "e.g. Amateur porn where the women didn't know she'd be filmed/shared, upskirt videos, revenge porn, sleeping assault videos etc"
They could allow side loaded apps with the same notarization requirements as Mac apps. This could prevent the proliferation of outright malware. Even side loaded apps are still subject to the iOS app sandbox. The permissions APIs could still be enforced too. Done correctly, this could be like current side loading but without the need for a developer certificate to make apps last more than 7 days.
Copyright is about DISTRIBUTION to others. If you never distribute a copyrighted work to another person there is zero violation of copyright

This is why I am not aware of anyone ever being sue or otherwise held to account for DOWNLOADING copyrighted works. They always Sue over DISTRIBUTION. BitTorrent got the tag of "Sued for downloading" but in reality people were sued for seeding, ie distributing. I am not aware of any leecher that was sued.

Similar of Usenet, Uploaders, and usenet providers get sued, but downloaders?

The entire point of copyright is about preventing unauthorized distribution,
If it was not phonetic, what "idea" would the letter "r" represent? That it can represent different phonetics depending on other rules doesn't change that it represents phonetics.
A book I bought (its name escapes me ATM) said, make word-only flash cards (no pix needed) of things your kid can directly relate to. Like body parts. Then colors and numbers.

It seemed to work. We could play a "body parts game" where I shuffle the deck and we go thru it one at a time: he points to the part I name... and gradually he took over reading them.
