Tell HN: Apple Is Still Throttling iPhones
Noticed my iPhone 12 mini was becoming annoyingly sluggish when searching, launching apps etc. Checked battery health and it was at 87%. Just received phone back from a battery replacement and device performance feels brand new.

The iPhone battery health screen (and the learn more page linked to from it) makes several mentions of how Apple's battery management system aims to reduce performance impact as the battery ages. See here: https://share.cleanshot.com/bp7PtvmZ

The way this reads it would lead you to think they are referring to processor performance but could they be referring to battery performance here?

My battery was at 87% and still displaying the Peak Performance Capability setting which clearly suggests my device should be operating at peak performance but after receiving a battery replacement it's clear the performance was being throttled.

Apple only recommends and offers a battery replacement to AppleCare+ customers when the battery capacity is below 80%.

How is this clearly misleading practice acceptable after the batterygate class action lawsuit? How many customers have been mislead to think their phone is old and slowing down when all it needs is a new battery? How many unnecessary new device purchases and extra electronic waste has this practice produced?

Whenever I've tried to search online to confirm the issue all that comes up are these useless articles and videos about little tricks and tips you can do to help here and there (clear your cache etc) but no mention that just replacing your battery solves the issue entirely.

Why is no one making a big fucking deal about this???
Bank accounts, phone numbers leaked online after attack on UK outsourcing giant
I hate to see the Nissan Leaf lose an incentive because I still think it's the most accessible name brand EV on the market. I imagine the Chinese part of the supply chain is what keeps Leaf's so cheap. And though I do mostly support efforts to grow the EV industry in the US, I care a lot more about ending the sale of new IC cars.
Onshape allows for versioning parts and assemblies, mate connectors to determine how parts should connect, assemblies and subassemblies to define the relationships between parts and allow for reuse, configurable parts (feature flags etc); it's extremely powerful and pleasant to use. Regrettably it's a closed source SaaS option but all of the open source CAD tools are grossly underpowered in comparison. There's nothing like KiCAD that'll let you get work done quickly effectively - at least in my experience.
I’d reconsider the “might as well just be as time consuming” thing. I see this argument about Copilot a lot, and it’s really wrong there, so it might be wrong here too.

Like, for most of the time I’m using it, Copilot saves me 30 seconds here and there and it takes me about a second to look at the line or two of code and go “yeah, that’s right”. It adds up, especially when I’m working with an unfamiliar language and forget which Collection type I’m going to need or something.

I think that tracks. He seems to have spent several hundred on the panel, frame, wiring to his board and a right-sized battery. You would have incurred those per-watt expenses two more times. Most of the other costs to invert, switch source, and store power are fixed.

He seems on track to build out his system even further, based on the intro, too, so he’ll probably catch up with you.
I'm a little paranoid about putting my cash in the Apple ecosystem. The easy-to-use functionality actually makes me uncomfortable when it comes to banking. Here in NYC there's been news stories of muggers/thieves using Face ID (by force or drugging the victim) to access banking and payment apps, siphoning off money in bulk. There's something useful about having a middle man with limited functionality managing payments and deposits. Given the risks, I'd rather not participate in the "whole-life-in-the-phone" lifestyle.

China Security Unit Targeted U.S. with Fake Social-Media Scheme
They had been warned by locals in both Burma and Sri Lanka for many months that violent rhetoric was spreading like wildfire through users in those countries, and did nothing about it -- seldom even responding to the people pleading for them to do something.

When Sri Lanka pulled the plug on Facebook as violence was starting to erupt, Facebook did then reach out...to ask why their Sri Lankan traffic had dropped off.

This is documented in a variety of places, but for an excellent write-up of these tragedies I'd recommend The Chaos Machine by Max Fisher.
But that's never been the case, why should it be now? If you forced every inventor to have to make their invention, it'd be a pro-industry burden that diminished the capacities of any smaller organizations or inventors.
I agree with you that this is important on a societal level, but making such a vague, contentious, and poorly defined input, which individual schools have a questionable ability to influence, 33% of a school's overall rating is nonsensical.

Imagine a school with a 10 for equity, but a 6 for test scores and 5 for college readiness. It will get the same 7 rating as Berkeley High. Which would you rather send your kids to?
What would a Google office for desktop do that the current Google docs doesn't?

Even MS is moving office to being cloud based, so it's not clear business users value local document availability that much - rather the opposite, I've worked in places that like cloud services because locking out their data from a disgruntled or departed employee is one button away.
About the video: This is the same guy that was crimping his cables with a vice and soldering them, with awful results. I bought a decent ‘crimping device’ for $30. I’ve seen his videos but I’m not buying it. Maybe OPzV stuff lasts 20 years but then you sacrifice a bedroom worth of floor space for a potentially dangerous maintenance burden that requires reinforcements of the floor. I’m exaggerating but still.
Looking at his post history, seems like he was shadowbanned.
"Snark or flamebait" as determined by tech bros that own the car?

On any given day there are 30 fresh topics getting lambasted by the terminally online nerds that populate this site but the second someone brings up Tesla-- Mods show up to enforce "civility" and pass out bans to anybody with 'wrong' opinions.

Hacker News being pointlessly negative is such a meme that people blackhole links coming from HN just to avoid the "free condescending advice", seems fitting these same reply guys can't handle the lightest of criticisms against their god-king or his ewaste cars.

We get called "the orange site" because name dropping Hacker News on social media causes a swarm of scavengers to attack you like a dead fish hitting the ocean floor.

I understand you have a difficult job making sense of the above + trying to prevent it from getting worse but genuinely this interaction leaves me feeling like getting my main account banned from HN would be a badge of honor.
You wouldn't print a car! :-)
Here are some implementations in different constraint languages on this puzzle (which I call the "Einav puzzle"): http://www.hakank.org/common_cp_models/#einavpuzzle
I never heard "woke" from a white leftist. I'm sure there must have been a brief period where it was used that way, but I never heard the term except as a pejorative. (I would not have heard it as it was used by the African American community.)

It seems to have had much the same arc as "politically correct", which I never heard as a live usage. As with "woke", I know it had some live usages, but it was never widespread. (Or at least, not widespread enough to reach me -- not the most "with it" guy, to be sure, but you'd certainly expect me as a lefty to have heard of it if it really were a movement big enough to oppose.)
Machine learning is actually premised on being “simple” to implement. The more priors you hardcode with clever algorithms, the closer you get to what we already have. The point is to automate the process of learning. We do this now with relatively simple loss functions and models containing relatively simple parameters. The main stipulation is that they are all defined to be continuous so that you can use the chain rule from calculus to calculate the error with respect to every parameter without taking so long that it would never finish.

I agree that your suggested approach of applying cleverness to what we have now will probably produce better results. But that’s not going to stop better architectures, hardware and even entire regimes from being developed until we approach AGI.

My suspicion is that there’s still a few breakthroughs waiting to be made. I also suspect that sufficiently advanced models will make such breakthroughs easier to discover.
Non-valve? Yes. Non-VAC? Very very few that I know of. Nobody wants to deal with a horde of hackers and bots, not even community servers.
Is this really a problem?

What could be more 2020s than a post-truth search engine?
That's funny - I primarily have used Azure but whenever I drop into AWS I feel like it's actively punishing me for trying to use the UI.
This is, in practice, the utility of the widespread use of CAD. Many manufacturers of parts distribute CAD models of those parts.

For example, McMaster-Carr have CAD models (in various formats) for nearly every single part in their catalog.

A designer/engineer can import those parts and then either create drawings referenced off of those parts, or mate/join those part using reference geometry. That is to say, the API is the geometry, and the CAD software provides good tools for interacting wit that API.

Where do you see that? I'm seeing 5.05 for penalty cds.

How do I know what? That it won't bother me?
Indeed, Go needs a batteries-included framework. Hoping for Pushup to fill the gap.
I've already seen that several times with image generation. Most recently was an article commenting on how the American smile was polluting generated photos. People can't decide what they want. Do they want licensed, curated commercial photos in the database or do they want search engine style neutrality? You really can't have both.
You can use fiber for hft through AWS as well, but you lose a lot of the benefits of cloud when you have a sustained workload that doesn’t benefit from being fault tolerant because the system would be down anyway.
No we haven't. the title is misleading. there's plenty of scale room left. part of it might just not be economical (parameter sie) but there's data. If you take this to mean, "we're at a dead end" you'd be very wrong
I think you're comparing apples to oranges. Even Crypto's most ardent supporters would not disagree that prices are volatile - which means that it doesn't suit my stated requirement that there's never a bad time to liquidate the investment (if my roof springs a leak right as WhateverCoin takes a nosedive, I'm shit out of luck). I will admit that I've never invested in gold, but if you're talking buying actual literal physical gold then I can't imagine that it can be liquidated as quickly as would be necessary; and, whether you're talking about buying literal gold or an abstract investment tied to Gold, I'd be very surprised to hear that it has an appreciation rate that beats HYSAs - and hey, if it does, I'm extremely grateful to you for pointing out an alternative investment strategy to diversify with!

To be clear, my requirements are:

* Near-instantly liquidatable (a day is maybe ok, hours is better).

* Value is not volatile - explicitly, extremely high likelihood that, whenever I need to extract value from it, the value will not have significantly lowered (I assume there's some economic theorem which states that this puts an upper bound on the interest I can expect to earn).

* A distant third is "combats inflation as much as possible", but I recognize that a lower interest rate will be earned because of the first two requirements.

EDIT:

> the only way to protect yourself is by holding cash and taking the loss as some sort of convenience cost. I'd say that there are other ways to hold liquid funds that try to combat inflation beyond just gambling in the stock market.

I suspect we may have our priorities crossed. I'm not trying to hold liquid funds that try to combat inflation - I'm trying to hold liquid funds that have a strong guarantee of non-volatility. I agree with you that if the constraint of volatility is relaxed, then there are many better (higher-rate-of-return) options than a HYSA.

Now if only they'd spend time optimizing their management APIs and SDKs so they were more coherent.

I do not like using the console or having to login to the web portal, but there are things you just can't do from the SDK, or at least, I haven't figured out the right way to do them yet. Entirely Byzantine.

I wonder if they'll ever get around to addressing the mountain of complaints folks have about local dev and emulators too.
I'm confused. Reading many of the comments it sounds like preventing evaporation is the major reason for this. Given that it hasn't been done yet, evaporation must not be a major issue, so we shouldn't bother.

I was under the impression that building more solar into the grid was the reason for putting up solar panels and preventing evaporation was a side benefit of their placement.

Did I read this wrong?
" Imagine a place where no one had to be scared of living on the street, could get decent food, has access to free education and health care. What a wonderful world. "

This wonderful world already exists in the US. Poor people have access to Medicaid / Emergency Rooms. The debate about food insecurity is whether or not poor people can afford fresh vegetables (because living on rice, cheap meats and canned peas/beans is not nutritious enough). About living in the street - if you are living on the street when you can get a job as a limo driver for $30 / hour just by walking in then maybe is your fault???
I am less concerned about the NYPD and other de jure police and sheriff departments having this, and more concerned when they get into the hands of civilians that are creepy men stalking ex-wives and underage women.

There was a rumor that they were going to use Whisper to transcribe YouTube videos and use that for training. Since it's multimodal, incorporating video frames alongside the transcriptions could significantly enhance its performance.
The Wil Wheaton example is actually something that absolutely could have happened in the IRC days - a big mob flooding another channel to ban user X could lead an oper to decide the same thing (this was in fact the source of much drama back in my EFNet days).

There's nothing stopping a moderator/operator from simply blocking accounts on-instance who are erroneously flagging/reporting people.

There's also nothing stopping Wil Wheaton from finding a more sympathetic server admin or starting his own Fediverse server instances and ignoring people reporting his accounts (see also: Kevin Beaumont).
I am a little concerned that they have only about 60% of the code tokens (GitHub and stackexchange). Given that so far the only concrete use case I have for LLMs is coding assistance I wouldn't want this open source model to be and less quality in that area.

In your opinion do you think this will hamper the model at all? Or is it still more than enough to get good coding assistance?
Exactly. After all, the PRC doesn't do it today. Nor did the later USSR. Not quite like they did back in the day. There was/is the whole thought control and censorship apparatus, and perceived enemies and threats were/are dispatched, secretly and sometimes not so secretly, but millions of random innocent citizens were/are not systematically tortured in the later USSR or China. Because it's not /necessary/. The ruling clique does not really expect mass, loving-terrified worship, just compliance.

One analogy that keeps coming to mind is the religious rapture of a medieval or early modern crowd as a witch is burned, an act they sincerely believe is good and necessary to save the soul of the person they're burning.

> “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

This question has been covered quite a bit since the pandemic, and it's not unique to San Francisco.

In short, orgs need less office space than they did in the past, and commercial real estate is not easy to convert to residential. Plumbing, electrical, fire codes, and so on.

Plus, commercial landlords are used to sitting on vacant properties waiting for "whale" clients who will sign 10+yr leases.
“30 day SEC yield: 4.68%”

The fund will lag Fed hikes by a few months, but otherwise will yield the same as buying T-Bills directly.

Using trailing distribution data to compute yields will not work for a T-Bill fund in the middle of a Fed hiking cycle.
Oh, in a heartbeat, baby!

They're good for tasks where generation is hard but verification is easy. Things like "here I gesture at a vague concept that I don't know the name of, please tell me what the industry-standard term for this thing is" where figuring out the term is hard but looking up a term to see what it means is easy. "Create an accurate summary of this article" is another example - reading the article and the summary and verifying that they match may be easier than writing the summary yourself.
So how do I use this? As someone new to the domain.

No in this case the Pico part comes from its use of the Pi Foundation's Pico microcontroller. There are projects[1] that are working on porting PICO-8 to the Picosystem. Unfortunately it will never be fully compatible with the PICO-8 standards as it isn't powerful enough but some games work.

> Schools should endeavour to soberly, objectively teach children about the world, and leave defining right and wrong to parents as much as possible.

They are certainly trying, but the sober, objective reality is "Some people dress using gender signifiers counter to the traditional ones for myriad reasons, and almost all of those reasons are harmless."

The political friction is coming from the people who think that lesson is, somehow, already too politically charged to share.

> you should be entitled to raise your child with a racist or homophobic worldview. Trying to correct for this is not the government's job.

That's very thorny "we live in a society" territory because in point of fact, the entire underpinning of public education as an institution is that a democratic society requires a populace educated in the practice of citizenry because they have the collective responsibility / burden / obligation to be citizens. "I have indeed two great measures at heart, without which no republic can maintain itself in strength. 1. that of general education to enable every man to judge for himself what will secure or endanger his freedom..." [Thomas Jefferson]. That obligation ties into the relatively-new concept of "nations" (as opposed to previous structures of clan / tribe / subject of a king / etc.). And in that context: no, it would not be okay for the public education system to just teach racism, because racism is caustic to the national constitution.

When this became apparent during the mid-20th century, the racists in some states temporarily suspended public education. As a useful rule of thumb: always be deeply suspect of those who would claim that topic X is not appropriate to teach at all or, when faced with choosing conservation of what they know vs. allowing public education, would torch the education.

Well shoot, think imma have to sign up to Kagi for a while. Seems a good trial, just like GPT.

I already wanted to support them, additional features just sweetens the deal.
Agreed. I'm also newish

I think for standard formats you start with STEP encoding and then there are various ISO semantic specs that encode to this, eg IFC for buildings (a standard BIM data format)

So i don't think STEP handles this explicitly, and while IFC does via URL-comptible file imports, it's rarely used in the wild.

Proprietary vendors use the standard formats for import/export but typically have poor support/wrong incentives for good interop.

There is interest in it tho, and I've talked with the OSARCH folks about it for BIM, and we're planning to work on it this year for bldrs.ai (open-source, links there to our discord and a #cad channel).

Ideally you import parts at the file level and have a compile step, like with code, where you load on lots of automatic integration tests

> I usually use remote servers anyway

Sorry for the OT question - do you use slime-tramp? And if so, do you have a way to use M-. (slime-edit-definition) without having to re-compile files using the remote paths?
I should have noted that "patentable" as you're raising it is a 101 issue. It IS important, but not part of this article:

==============
There are four main sections of the U.S. statute governing patentability, and you only ever read about the first and third:

101: Patentable subject matter (what you can patent)

102: Anticipation (someone else invented or described it)

103: Obviousness (two or more references, taken together, describe it)

112: Specification (here’s the statute)

Most of what you read is about 101: is software a “thing” or is it a “mathematical formula” and thus not patentable?
Absolutely right, and I salute the impulse to educate folks that taking financial responsibility and autonomy is something that is possible and profitable!

(While still disagreeing with you that crypto fits the requirement-profile of an emergency fund :P )
