Release notes: https://github.com/localstack/localstack/releases/tag/v2.0.0

The new version is a follow-up of the company’s first version, which generally became available last year. With version 2.0, the company added several new features and improvements, such as entirely new Lambda and S3 providers, a significant reduction in LocalStack image size through the separation of LocalStack Community and Pro Docker images, a new Snapshot persistence mechanism, community cloud pods, and cloud pods launchpad.

Furthermore, version 2.0 includes enhancements for developers like improved LocalStack toolings for local cloud development, new LocalStack Developer Hub and Tutorials, and Improved LocalStack Coverage Docs Overview.
English is context-sensitive phonetic, Spanish and other Latin languages are regular phonetic. Just look at "are"; its pronunciation of "a" depends on a following consonant and following vowel. Otherwise the "a" would be pronounced like "add". There are over a dozen context-sensitive rules like that, and thousands of common words that are purely exceptions, e.g. "read" and "learning" having different pronunciations of "ea", and hence are not phonetic. They are whole-word pronunciations learned by rote or immersion.

You seem to be leaning on the virtue of free market interaction, but copyright/patents/etc are severe market distortions that makes such reasoning specious.

IMO if a company wants to benefit from copyright regulations, then they should have to escrow the buildable source code (the original creative work), to be released into the public domain when the copyright term is up.
No, your intentions are very clear (and naive), you're just wrong.
Stop installing "evil apps" and stop believing Apple actually cares about you. Cheering for a corporation to control what you can and can't install on your phone is gross.
Is any of the Open Assistant stuff based on LLaMA? I thought they release (at least some version) before LLaMA even dropped?
> Pointcrow is not really their customer. He's their free marketing service.

That angle actually pushed me closer to Nintendo's reasoning. If people buy games because they see them on these streams, what's the likely buying decision from seeing a super cool new feature for Breath of the Wild that only works on emulator? I'd wager that it increases the likelihood of getting a Steamdeck instead of a Switch and playing the emulated version instead. That seems like an occurrence that Nintendo wants less of.

Why do you assume that?
> I’m moving a bunch of cash over once I set it up

US 3-month Treasuries are paying 5.125% and are State tax free so if you're not planning on touching the money in the near term that's an even better position. They're about as liquid as securities get so if you do need to sell them for cash there's not going to be any meaningful hit to their valuation. At most it'll be a couple bucks of transaction fees (if that) which would easily be made up by the additional interest and tax savings.
Not every kid learns it automatically, though. My oldest could read before he went to kindergarten (and skipped a grade later), my youngest needed extra help learning to talk. Most kids are somewhere in between those two extremes.
The phonetic value of [h] is /h/. In English spelling, many phonetic units are digraphs, not monographs (unsurprising when you consider that English has ~40 phonemes but only 26 letters in its alphabet).

The core phonetic rules of English are actually quite simple:

* Map consonant digraphs to phonemes where appropriate (e.g., [ch] goes to /tʃ/, [ph] goes to /f/).

* Map remaining consonants to a single phoneme, although note that [c] and [g] will map to /k/ or /s/ and /g/ or /dʒ/ respectively depending on the following letter.

* Map vowel digraphs to their monophthongs or diphthongs (e.g., [ai] goes to /ei/).

* Map vowel monographs to their "short" or "long" form depending on the following letters (e.g., [bet] is /bɛt/ while [bete] is /bit/, same as [beat]). Basic rule is vowel-consonant-vowel gets the "long" form, otherwise you get the "short" form. Doubling a consonant forces the "short" form without implying a doubled (geminate) consonant in pronunciation.

Those rules predict a large fraction of English pronunciation. You can get better by adding in rules on schwa reduction (unstressed vowels become /ə/) or rules to reflect the systematic sound changes of the past few centuries (e.g., how [-tion] becomes /ʃun/). There are still irregularities beyond that ("English" isn't justifiable by any spelling rules), and then you have the frustrating tendency of English to insist on using foreign spellings and foreign pronunciations of foreign words (e.g., "coup" is French and should be pronounced as in French and "onomatopoeia" is Greek and should be pronounced as in Greek).
Hmm...

>40% of Samsung's net revenue is mobile devices.

Only ~56% of Google's revenue is from Search ads - <50% of that comes from Android - and <35% of that comes from Samsung.

<10% of Google's total revenue comes from Samsung devices >40% of Samsung's NET REVENUE comes from selling Android devices.

It's almost as if Samsung is a lot more dependent on Google than the other way around.

At the end of the day - the majority of people you default to Bing search are going to switch back to Google. Samsung will be lucky to get a meaningful amount of money.

MSFT can't outbid Google because they can't make as much money from the searches as Google.
I thought Microsoft was well dead, but hey…here we are.
Yeah, and I'm still completely lost as to why resolution is such a limiting factor. If you know you're drawing a soccer ball why is a 512x512 soccer ball so much easier than a 1024x1024 soccer ball?
I'm sorry about that last quip. Don't know why I said that. Probably reminded me of some people I don't like IRL.

> First of all, firmware bugs can physically damage some hardware, some might even be dangerous to use (e.g. overheat and catch on fire).

Doing random crap to my car's engine when I have no clue what I'm doing poses all of the same risks if not more, I can still do that. It doesn't mean it's covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

> It just increases support costs and liability for the manufacturer for little or no gain.

You got a device sent in from a customer that bootloops because they flashed some garbage? They can get it back for a service fee of 20$ or you'll dispose of it for them.

The case deforms where the camera is mounted and dust and water can get in (hello Pixel 4)? Replace it since this has nothing to do with firmware but is a plain old manufacturing defect.

> On the security front, having the source code leaked makes it much easier to develop APTs and deep implants.

See article. Normal users get firmware through official channels anyways, and targeted (supply chain) attacks are run by people who either already have access to the source code or got the resources to do the reverse engineering, so it doesn't really matter whether it gets easier.
Running a "safety check" is not the same thing as the (admittedly opaque) Apple App Store review process. Based on the challenges developers have had with Apple getting certain apps approved, the Apple App Store review process is significantly more involved than Google's.
Thunderbird also has a calendar view like this called Multiweek, though I do like Fastmail's smoother scrolling.
Google is optimized for shopping and commercial sites at all other costs.

It's really become an impossibly frustrating tool. They've sucked for years and this was bound to happen.

Because licensing costs less and is risk-reduced?
Is this an anglosaxon thing? Here in Germany, I have never heard of anyone telling a child they had to "learn x words". We teach letters and common diphthongs, and then make the kids understand that these glyphs can form words with meanings. When I look at my father's schoolbooks, that already was the common way to teach reading in the 1950s.

That's interesting because in the 1960 novel To Kill a Mockingbird (widely taught in the US and well-known in other countries), there's a scene where the character Scout is criticized in school by her teacher, when it's discovered that Scout learned to read ahead of the curriculum, from her father at home. The teacher expressed the concern that Scout might end up learning how to read incorrectly. If I remember correctly, the end result was that Atticus (Scout's father) told his daughter that she could secretly continue to read at home, just without telling her teacher, to avoid conflicts in class.

~~

Except from the novel (where "I" is the character Scout):

“Teach me?” I said in surprise. “He hasn’t taught me anything, Miss Caroline. Atticus ain’t got time to teach me anything,” I added, when Miss Caroline smiled and shook her head. “Why, he’s so tired at night he just sits in the livingroom and reads.”

“If he didn’t teach you, who did?” Miss Caroline asked good-naturedly. “Somebody did. You weren’t born reading The Mobile Register.”

“Jem says I was. He read in a book where I was a Bullfinch instead of a Finch. Jem says my name’s really Jean Louise Bullfinch, that I got swapped when I was born and I’m really a-”

Miss Caroline apparently thought I was lying. “Let’s not let our imaginations run away with us, dear,” she said. “Now you tell your father not to teach you any more. It’s best to begin reading with a fresh mind. You tell him I’ll take over from here and try to undo the damage-”

“Ma’am?”

“Your father does not know how to teach. You can have a seat now.”

I mumbled that I was sorry and retired meditating upon my crime. [...] I knew I had annoyed Miss Caroline, so I let well enough alone and stared out the window until recess when Jem [Scout's older brother] cut me from the covey of first-graders in the schoolyard. He asked how I was getting along. I told him.

“If I didn’t have to stay I’d leave. Jem, that damn lady says Atticus’s been teaching me to read and for him to stop it-”
“Don’t worry, Scout,” Jem comforted me. “Our teacher says Miss Caroline’s introducing a new way of teaching. She learned about it in college. It’ll be in all the grades soon. You don’t have to learn much out of books that way—it’s like if you wanta learn about cows, you go milk one, see?”

~~

Contrary to this approach in teaching, in my university courses, my professors in math and the Spanish language always encouraged additional reading and study outside of class (oftentimes, this was written directly in the syllabus or part of class discussions). So, I haven't heard much about professors being concerned about students learning the "wrong way"—I suspect that many educators are happy in general when students seek to learn from additional materials outside of what's presented in class.

You are getting quite delusional. You do not possess the monopoly on deciding what is ‘the common good’. And once you see that you might also see why your armchair lawyering looks so ridiculous. Just rehashing some shallow, obvious and tired ideas that don’t work in the real world, have never went anywhere and will never go anywhere doesn’t actually improve the world.

Why do we even bother? Ai will cause mass unemployment among software engineers, some of whom have built the free software that ai companies now monetise, and none of this will matter.
ATCs are a government entity so innovation and disruption are not realistic options. Change in bureaucracies generally comes from operational failure or systemic breakdown which leads to a full replacement with a better system.

This article is describing operational failure which is encouraging but unfortunately instead of upgrades the chosen solution is limiting functionality until the world routes around the damage. There's still hope that AI can help somehow in the future but it's slim at best and we're likely going to need an alternative less regulated transportation system like point to point transportation via airborne drones.
It's true, masked-language-modelling has been hugely successful in natural language processing. So a priori I wouldn't have guessed it would work so poorly for humans and that phonics-based teaching is so much better. But the evidence is clear.

Just because MLM can work doesn't mean it does work in all contexts. We get to change the software (and hardware although that has been less relevant IMHO) behind ML models as much as we want, for humans we need to adapt the training methods.
What about SCCS and CVS? We still good?
Agreed. Government has a habit of diverting our effort, time, and money to others.

There's some internal matrix of "Supported" clean movement, mostly between languages with an extensive shared vocabulary. You can enable Multilingual Typing theoretically anywhere, but it only really "works" among languages that share a layout and character dictionary.

But if you need to loanword a non-common word from English into another language (e.g. Hebrew), Gboard just can't do it. If you change character sets, you change entire dictionaries. SwiftKey has a unified dictionary among all languages and makes a best guess approximation based on the current language selected and then tries the other languages you have configured.

This means that if you're going along in, say, French, but then need to reference a word in Hebrew, you can swipe over to Hebrew, bang out a word, then swap back to French, type words in English (which get autocorrected in english) and then continue in French. This isn't really feasible in Gboard without a lot of back and forth.

This is the painful part about working jobs where you receive the bulk of your income in relatively few paychecks. You end up grossly overpaying on your taxes because they are essentially assuming that's the amount you receive every paycheck and withhold taxes accordingly. So if you work a boat load of OT every other pay period, and receive like $3k for the first half of a month, and $7k the next pay period, those $7k paychecks are taxed assuming you make $7k * 24 =168k each year, when, in reality you make $120k a year.

There's no good way around this either (to my knowledge). Other than maybe jacking up the number of dependents you have.

Yea I don’t think “any bank” will give you 4%. Just checked CIBC and there are a number of conditions and also the bonus interest only applies for the first 4 months on your first account: https://www.cibc.com/en/special-offers/smart-savings-bonus-i...

TD is not even close to offering 4% https://www.td.com/ca/en/personal-banking/products/bank-acco...

You are not wrong in idea, but you are wrong in specifics. Does English use a 1:1 phonetic language? No. Of course not. Just like most "functional programming" languages have a lot of differences between them. The colloquial use of the term is not nearly as precise as many think it is.

Even looking up the definition of "alphabetic" shows that that is often for phonetic languages. :D
As long as there's an off switch, this doesn't bother me.

I'm interested to see how this scales cost effectively, at all the search engines.

DuckDuckGo is less profitable I think than Google/Bing, and are paying for API access. Bing appears to be running the models directly on hardware rather than paying for marked-up API access, but it's still expensive. Google seems to be in a good place with their custom chips, but who knows. It'll all be fascinating to see evolve.
One of the screenshots shows an "Add Money" button, so at first glance it seems like you can add funds. Also from the linked page:

> To build on their savings even further, users can deposit additional funds into their Savings account through a linked bank account, or from their Apple Cash balance.
There is a very simple answer to this. The people that were leaving Twitter went to Mastodon and found it unsuitable. It's not that people who were cheerleading Mastodon turned coat or went away, they just got outnumbered.
No, you can add money directly to it from another bank account - such as the one you pay your apple card bill with.

You can also transfer your current rewards balance to the savings account.
Curious, do you have any examples of monitors like that? Less light and lower brightness reducing power consumption is intuitive, the inverse less so.

You're probably right that for pedagogical purposes, English reading can be taught the same way as Spanish because they are both based on phonetic alphabets. I don't disagree that knowing English (and knowing things in general, along with vocabulary) are essential to learning to read.

Big picture, irregular pronunciation in English might encourage educators to use different strategies for learning the outlier words or for reinforcement. It could still be optimal to learn with this additional instruction, even if it's a secondary concern for rudimentary learners.
I know it's not your point, but learning to write by tracing at age 3 doesn't sound anything like the actual teachings of Maria Montessori. The whole point is child directed learning, and having kids at 3 trace things sounds pretty anti-ethical towards that.

Most of this stuff is parent directed because they want little Johnny to be brilliant, but afaik goes against pretty much all early childhood development research.

Tetris: The Grand Master, a '90s arcade game that's been out of print for twenty years, was just rereleased for Switch more or less entirely because of its speedrunning community.

It works well enough over a reasonably short duration, it doesn't work very well near sunrise/sunset. During the middle part of the day (say 10a-2p) I can be confident that if I'm walking into my shadow that I'm heading approximately north--not perfect but good enough that for gross navigation I'm not going to bother to pull out my phone and look at the map. (I would never be out in the wilderness without *having* map/GPS/satellite texting/headlamp, but that doesn't mean I always *use* them.)
So no lessons learned.
