Mini now makes several different models including SUVs, but the Mini Cooper remains a very small car (shorter than the original VW bug) with a wonderfully roomy front seat that is perfectly comfortable for my 6'2", 300-pound ass. I've read a 6'8" guy recommending it for people his size.

The trade-off is that the back seat might as well not exist. I keep mine folded down to make a two-seater with lots of legroom and cargo space.
Flex comes with the warning that it lacks a lot of the verified-boot stuff that Chromebooks have.

Even if some OS providers and computer makers are interested in verified boot for bad reasons, it remains true that verified boot provides a big chunk of the attack-resistance available to computer users.
That is assuming Smartphone is a computer. Not agreeing or disagreeing, but the point is people have different interpretation. Some think it is an Appliance.

Sad that it has to come to this messy stage where the law has to be enforced. But then Apple isn't the same Steve Jobs Apple.
I think you need to look at the system of incentives and alignment

If apple's billion dollar app distribution monopoly money hose results in security problems for people, then their billion dollar app distribution monopoly money hose will be in jeopardy since it's justification comes into question.

So what you see as a problem is what makes me feel the best about it. Apple is aligned with only secure apps on their store and apple is very unaligned with insecure apps.

To apple security is not just a cost center, but a pillar of the justification for their monopoly position.
What about when seaweed is added to the feed which reduces methane emmission by 70%?

The numbers that go into these approximations are not reliable and that's the problem with trying to have some exacting figure 20-28 and use that to create policy.

Which is why we can know that it is just about creating policy.
Unemployment numbers are among the most gamed in government, they are totally unreliable if you're trying to get a realistic view of anything. It's really hard to find work that pays above burger-flipping without a college degree or network in most areas, especially in tech fields. With the current downturn and layoffs combined with remote working craze, competition is higher than ever and it's much harder to get a foot in the door.
If you hate cookies you’re going to be posted when you find out what’s happening in native apps. It’s an order of magnitude worse they just don’t have to ask or inform you first
I have enough acquaintances from NZ in tech to know the drill, but just that low or no property taxes, in relation to other taxes, encourages property speculation (eg in china, which lacks them).
Ask HN: What’s the best TypeScript book in April 2023?
Most books I’ve come across tend to focus on React and friends. Is there something that’s like the Dive into Python or some of the rust books?
> It’s important to remember that solar installations aren’t an industrial concrete slab but leave space for secondary agricultural use.

As a data point, there is ongoing development of the "flat slab on the ground" type of approach too.

If I were being extremely charitable on the phrasing, I think they might mean, for example, if you pay Apple 30% (or whatever the going rate is) you might have to pay an external app store an additional number.

Or, it might mean Apple will charge higher rates for apps that are also available on other app stores? Not sure if that's entirely legal, but since when have pesky things like the law stopped companies as big as Apple?
While I didn’t personally experience this, my dad went through bankruptcy and fairly hard times after the ‘08 recession and I learned a lot.

Not all credit is made equally. Don’t mortgage your house to pay credit cards, you can default on them and keep your primary residence. Don’t pay off debt before you break into your 401k. 401k’s are off-limits to creditors. And if you can’t pay something CALL them sooner rather then later. Most creditors would rather let you miss a few payments than default. And lastly, prioritize keeping yourself healthy, fed, clothed, and housed if it comes down to it. Being honorable or maintaining a good credit score is 100% bullshit compared to your health and well being.
No, they are very different. LangChain is just a library that lets you use LLMs easily. It has many in-built feature like prompt templates and so on. ChatGPT plugins are like Chrome extensions. You can think it's like OpenAI's App Store.
It depends on the situation: some people may be able to move back in with their parents. Better off doing this than ruining their credit rating- in three years they might be employed and trying to get a loan.
Meh, no-one gives a shit. ;)
> they're raised on grassland that cannot sustain arable farming

Funny, neither can "regular" farmland sustain "arable farming" (or whatever that means). Mainstream food production has a massive input of chemical fertilizers produced from fossil fuels.
It’s always interesting to think about the exact technological analog for our biological sensors, but I believe that our vision would be way less than that in terms of raw data. We have a super high-res area at the center of vision (the fovea), but the rest is extremely low resolution (but with high movement and light sensitivity).

I think we could reasonably say that if an optical nerve has 1mm neurons on average, and they can fire at 250Hz at the most, that’s 250mbps or ~31mb/s per eye of uncompressed data as an upper bound.
> But I’m afraid that with sideloading allowed, most software vendors will go sideloading-only. That means, nobody will have any control over their app’s privilege requests, behavior and other security related things.

There is no reason why side-loading means "not sandboxed". Apps still need to use Apple SDKs to interface with the OS, so there is still an opportunity to request permissions and for the user to deny permissions and for the OS to honor the denied permissions.

Just like it works today on macOS.
I don't think so, I assume it's some more dated ML approach -- my point is moreso that it's not obvious that it's a good solution for this problem yet.
If your mom visits in person, then how does he behave?
Sure, but in order to fail, Google has to clearly identify what its goal is. As far as I can tell, it's "add a word salad to the bottom of every search." Sadly, I believe it has succeeded far beyond their wildest expectations.
I only use them for registration. I point the domains to my own name servers. So I can’t speak ti the rest of their services. But at least as a registrar they don’t play all the dirty tricks that Godaddy and 101domains and other registrars do.

Are the numbers actually comparable? The US does not calculate unemployment in a straightforward or honest fashion.
Unless it is some AAA game, the JVM is more than apt for writing games, especially that the rendering itself is OpenGL/Vulkan libcalls either way.

> LA is suburban sprawl which means everybody lives on a parcel of land and has a backyard.

Having lived in LA before (Westwood actually), I know that is false. While Shanghai is pretty dense, Beijing is much less so, although the notion of a city in China includes rural areas as well. Both are denser than LA, but I’m not sure Americans are ready to live in 30 story concrete boxes.

Yes, China has lots of people, but the infrastructure to support their density still isn’t that great. It has improved, driving still sucks but subway is a real option now vs in 2007.
I wonder if they considered an "iPhone Europe Edition" - USB-C, side loading, physical SIM cards. Sounds like a good phone!
But that's the European law. Nothing stopping them locking sideloading for US Apple IDs I think? I mean they can't require an EU apple ID in order to access the sideloading feature, but they could deny it to US apple IDs.
Or… there is a minimum amount of space required to park an SUV. Those who have enough space opt for SUVs, those who don’t buy compact cars.

Like try driving a huge SUV on narrow German village roads or parking in the tiny parking spaces there. Or try weaving though heavy NYC traffic or finding a new parking spot when you need to move for alternate side parking. It’s nearly impossible in an SUV, but an SUV is an objectively better car choice if you don’t care about efficiency or sporty handling.
Seagate - in this article is skank on parade. I don't think lou gerstner or Berkshire Hathaway guys ever had to go around giving themselves props for honestly.

At at the same time: why in the heck didn't the the prosecutors demand all $300 million upfront? Why take installments? Hell, if Seagate can't pay put them into chapter 11/13 and get a judgement to strip assets or cash or stock until paid. Good lord!

The US' (I'm American) biggest suckers have got to be shareholders. The amount of checks that moron ceo's write on shareholder profit without being fired or facing criminal consequences while defending themselves with more shareholder cash for corporate lawyers is insane.

Folks this is why we got rid of royalty.

Seagate isn't the only one. There's bigger but we've got to start somewhere.

Corporations are out of hand. It's the little things too. Wells Fargo "helped me" by sending out my new CC number (Cc was not working) to all known corps so they could charge me. Nah, they helped themselves and certainly never got my permission.
I love how "running out of data" implies that AI companies have access to all the text we ever wrote on all platforms out there. I mean it's probably true...

I think its even worse than that.
And how exactly the AppStore prevents it? By using the OSs sandbox, which will apply the exact same way to user installed programs — you won’t suddenly run as root.

AppStore checking is waaay overhyped as anything meaningful.

You'd think a company of that size would have lawyers who know about protected regional product names. It's EU thing and you might disagree with it, but you have to comply with laws if you want to do business.
What utter tripe. Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen and we know their chemical properties exceedingly well. Endlessly splitting hairs that it's not "settled" when someone puts another digit of accuracy at the end of the accepted mass of a proton isn't being pedantic, it's just being pompous.
Said another way, an instantaneous change in gain causes a step change in the audio signal. A step change isn't physically possible, but is equivalent to the summation of harmonic frequencies up to infinity. Your speakers try their best, and end up playing all the harmonic frequencies within their range of 20Hz-20Khz or so. This happens to produce a similar sound as a percussion instrument.
Effectively. US universities work on a growth model, expanding their student body and capital investment for tax purposes and to increase profits. There is always some school that will accept a student for the sake of those unforgivable government supplied student loans
If you own a mac, run a specific software at least once a week, and limited to like 3 apps. For all practical purposes, this means “you can’t”.
This line jumps out at me right away:

RUN git clone https://github.com/oobabooga/GPTQ-for-LLaMa /build

This makes this Dockerfile completely non-reproducible. I know how to work around it, but seriously, is this how Python users in the AI/ML space do things regularly!? Just make something work "once" on "my machine" with the "current commit" and then call it a day?

It's a really shocking experience coming form the Rust and C# ecosystems where everything is strongly versioned, packages have "lock" files, and there's even SHA hashes to really pin things down. Meanwhile in this world it's just: "Get the latest version of this thing. It won't work, of course, because it only worked for a week in 2023 when I did it, but good luck!"
I'm surprised the article and comments haven't mentioned the axial twist hypothesis [0], which IMO is the best explanation I've seen so far for contralateral wiring. The axial twist hypothesis has experimental evidence and is also predicted from physical first principles of what is known about embryonic development. It explains the central decussation, which is a stronger prediction than the existence of some decussation (from what I understand of the article). I still don't quite understand how one gets from the existence of a decussation between two distinct body-cortex paths to contralateral organization, but maybe after reading the paper I will get it.

That said, wonderful and simple result.

The articles seem materially identical to me; is there something I missed that's in the WaPo article that's missing from the WSJ article?
The models are quite good at this already, so while (of course) they will be getting better, the (much) larger gain in performance will be from users giving up more and more privacy ultimately (or allowing local models more access).
Writing better prompts is not as big of a deal people keep making it, and exposes how lazy people really have gotten in light of these new tools. If you ask your friend to make a website and then are mad that they used python on the backend instead of Rust... well - you didn't specify, so it's not really your friends fault. The fact that specifications are needed to fulfill tasks, or that information of what your availability is when you're planning to do something, etc should not be heralded as some sort of amazing "engineering". The term is sickeningly stupid.

Having domain knowledge and expertise helps with communication and how to correctly identify good design - there is nothing interesting really going on here.
Thanks! s/learnings/lessons learnt/
Give Duolingo a try. Even if it doesn't work out in the end, it will at least get you started. The hiragana and katakana practice is nice.
The downsides are the obvious; security and privacy are better protected, malware is much harder to distribute and easier to shut down, fraud is more difficult.

You can absolutely disagree with the trade off, but pretending like it’s purely greed is obviously disingenuous.
Ah yes I forgot that’s how things work- if anyone writes a report on something trivial, all non-trivial issues cease to be.

Really we should be thanking journalists, we wouldn’t have world peace if they didn’t write articles like this.

the o. s. isn’t a hammer. it’s a service

i’m sure you can find an o. s. that lets you do whatever you want. but will it be updated regularly with security fixes? will it support the latest connectivity technology like 5g? will it have built in support for the latest compression formats to take high res pics and videos? will it work anywhere in the world?

if it does sure. go use it. i don’t think this exists and i’m happy to pay apple for a new phone that does this and upgrade every 5 years
Sure. But I also suspect in a week he's going to start saying he didn't gift people checkmarks and that everybody bought one. How are we going to verify that?
I don't believe so; color charge isn't a scalar like mass is.
Wishing something about technology seems like a mis fit. I expect it to be problematic, yes. But as a reactionary decision (reactive to perceived market expectations rather than evidenced need) "failures" in this deployment may be more about "who has to go" at board level than expectations of technology outcome.

It's a really stupid, unnecessary move. It deserves derision.
If I pay the fee and/or use something like altstore?
Are you perhaps in energy saving mode? I get 60fps on a M1 laptop.
We focus too much on criticizing language instead of ideas. IMHO, this just leads to tiresome and hollow debates. So, I’ll call that out here.

Also, your proposed rewording isn’t correct either because installing applications is already allowed. You can debate the App Store all you want, but it definitely does let you install apps.

On topic: This is silly and Apple should allow sideloading. I don’t buy the security argument because the security comes from the sandbox, not Apple’s poorly-run approval process.
Ask HN: What is the best way to integrate ChatGPT inside Mind mapping software?
Almost every software is now coming out with new versions that embed chatGPT functionality. If mind mapping and chatGPT are combined, from which aspects is it good to combine them? What advantages does each play?
I wish the terms "Free Software" and "Open Source" were legally protected to the same extent that "Champagne" is.
I've recently deployed this trick on my company's confluence instance (with an HTML macro) to create a "poor man's" link shortener that allows me to change the link target after the fact.

Also recently deployed it as a very simple server side denounce: when the client first accesses page X a long running operation is dispatched. Subsequent requests for the same resource before it's done processing return a plain HTML response that says "Still thinking about it" and meta refresh after 1 second.
As a further separate but distinct response:

You are justifying why a monopoly app store is bad by showing a hack that resulted from downloading an app (xcode) from a source other than the app store.

Security firm Palo Alto Networks surmised that because network speeds
were slower in China, developers in the country looked for local
copies of the Apple Xcode development environment, and encountered
altered versions that had been posted on domestic web sites. This
opened the door for the malware to be inserted into high profile apps
used on iOS devices.

I think you are also ignoring that apples app store position made it possible to authoritatively reach out to all who were effected as well as enact other remediation efforts.
Sounds like you have missed the "programming in XML" phase that triggered Crockford to do JSON: huge configuration languages, usually with almost good schemas. And nothing in there could ever fail before runtime. It was driven by a deep fear of programming, a desperate hope that maybe you could build something so configurable that you would reach a state of done after which you would never ever have to send the source through a compiler again.

In reality however, often the best way to understand a problem in those configuration monsters (or the only way...) was to recompile the non-xml part with some tailored ad-hoc diagnostics. But the idea that the configuration was supposed to change a lot while the code is immutable proved surprisingly robust against ongoing demonstrations of exactly the opposite happening.
What’s good about physical SIMs? I do like apple for daring to improve the status quo there, so I want my European Edition with only e-simsz
I am always using Garmin devices locally as an USB drive. You can access all your workouts, planned structured workouts, routes, calender via the USB drive. This is why I am still with Garmin. I did not find any other manufacturer providing this. In fact I always upload my executed workout .fit files directly from the watch into Tredict. The planning and analysis software I am using.
We should probably get rid of Safari / web browsers too in that case!
> If you have strong scientific arguments, it does not matter even if the whole world is against you.

That’s a nice idealistic thing to say.

Academia has shown this to be false again and again.

Most groundbreaking ideas or arguments which go against the current wisdom get buried in the best case, and the proponents scorned and driven out of research in the worst case.

It has been like this since the beginning of organized scientific communities, which is understandable. Scientists are humans with the usual shortcomings like ego and pride.
I agree. As a dev, if I list my $3/mo subscription app on the Apple App store and they take 30% and I have 100k customers and I double-list the app in the 3rd party store + the Apple app store and gain 20k customers from the 3rd party store and the 3rd party store charges 10%, I have saved (30% - 10%) x 20k x $3/mo = $12k/mo on the new customers.

If I release my next version update and post it to just the 3rd party app store, I could then theoretically move the 120k customers to download the update from the 3rd party store and then save $72k/mo.

That is what Apple is afraid of. I think.
That would just give them a huge fine.
i always remember the difference by thinking, "(eg)sample" and "(i)n (e)other words"

Clearly no as Midjourney is working on a web UI that'll be out this year. Personally, I'm turned off by Discord's UX and one of the main reasons I don't use midjourney.
AppStore pretty much only does a “grep -r porn” on every app, hardly meaningful “security”. If anything, it’s best at mysteriously flagging competitor apps.
That would require a re-formulation of conservation of color charge. You could probably come up with an alternative formulation where everything is consistent, but all of the formulas would almost certainly be more complicated. The most obvious way would end up replacing color by the sign of mass times color everywhere, but then you've just renamed ant-red, anti-blue, and anti-green, with no obvious benefit.
Yeah, all of these computers are manufactured in limited runs, and sometimes they go out of stock and all you can do is pre-order the next run and wait (this is currently the case for the ZX Spectrum Next for example).

However in the case of THEC64, you can still find it at certain international sellers, so you can have it now if you're willing to pay a premium for international shipping.
