Thank you for this!

Next up: make "side loading" apps a thing.

Do it with these stipulations:

1. Make it easy, part of the normal flow. Not hidden in an obscure panel or behind three or four dialogues.

2. Make it non-scary (no negs from Apple saying you'll destroy your device or safety)

3. Make it so it isn't called something negative like "side loading", but a part of normal user behavior: "download app", "web install", etc.

4. Make it so that Apple can't degrade the app experience for these apps.

If y'all can accomplish that, all will be right with the world again.
Apple is the only one who should be concerned about its 'luxury' brand status, we users have completely different priorities then tax-evading mega corporations milking its users base with high margins.

And Apple a luxury in 2023, really? Competition phones are more expensive and loaded with better hardware, some look significantly better (cough notch cough), Apple also has budget phones... I don't think you understand the term luxury if you include current Apple into it. Louis Vuitton is an example of luxury brand. Apple is alternative to Android or Windows for laptops, thats it.
I use Google devices with my HA setup just fine (although I want to move away). HA just added integrated assistant support, so I'm keen to try that out when I get back from vacation.
I'm going through the list at random (I'm on the market for such a service) and none of them appear offline so far.
Throw in better handling of network shares for non-KIO apps and finally fixing that bug where the text cursor randomly decides to jump forward or back on Wayland sometimes and their work is done as far as I'm concerned.
The people who need to evaluate academics (both individuals and institutions) for purposes of funding, promotions, tracking goals, etc, can't really do it well on their own (you need to have domain-specific knowledge to be able to pass independent judgement, you can't have domain-specific knowledge in all the disciplines you need to manage, and you can't/don't trust self-evaluations) so they need some independents oracle that gives any metrics that are at least roughly correlated with output and quality even if they inevitably get gamed; and it needs to be something that can be independently evaluated cheaply and simply, so that it can be written into some formal criteria and there won't be a legal dispute whether a research outcome is "sufficiently good" or not, or whether applicant A has "more points" than applicant B on some objective scale that doesn't put the burden of personally proving that on some official who realistically can't do that anyway.

Publishers, prestige of publication venue (including their ranking in citation metrics), indexes like Web of Science/Scopus/etc all provide this function to the administrators of scientific funding, who want (and need) to evaluate academic prestige.

The other need is for a filter to allow a researcher to not access most of what is published. There is generally a problem of too much "research-like work" that is impossible to read all of what gets written, so researchers want a filter system where someone else throws out at least some of the crap (or forces the crap to be re-written to be better) so that there's a better signal-to-noise ratio. In the current system where there's motivation to publish in "better places", if something is published in a "worse place" that's some evidence that the paper is weak (because if the authors could have published it in a better place, why didn't they?) and thus perhaps can be discarded without reading, or deprioritized to read only after you've read all of the better-ranked stuff.
> why it changed in the past 30 years?

In my former university, the people in power hasn't changed in the past 30 years. So worshiping the big publishers is still the norm and it takes a while for new students to detach themselves from their supervisors' delusions and realize the whole scam.
Identifying as Googlebot no longer gives access to most paywalled news.
Yes, what then? Knowing how to use better prompts in Llama RedPajama model v2 isn't going to help you if that scenario comes true. And regarding danger for humanity I'm betting on Joscha Bach's Lebowski theorem of machine superintelligence: "No super-intelligent system is going to do anything that is harder than hacking its reward function"

All not worth the FOMO
> Possibly one of most valuable things you can do is to focus on better quality of questions you're asking yourself in your inner dialogue when thinking about anything throughout the day.

+1 for this. Learning how to "talk" to yourself with honesty, but also self-compassion, is so important. I wish someone had explained this to me earlier in my life because its a difficult thing to learn and I still struggle with it. Its so easy to deceive or distract yourself when thinking about your own life.
Typically extradition requires dual criminality.

i.e. you can’t be extradited for something that is a crime in a foreign country but isn’t in yours.
Half of the article is about the disparity between pricing of print and e-books. Universities have been moving to ebooks for ease of access, and also to avoid building structurally expensive libraries that cope with the weight of the books. Looks like the publishers are raising the prices of e-books to match the value to institutions. Another case of excessive profits for little effort on the part of publishers.
What happens when there is a better USB-C plug - isn't there a concern that locking into the current standard means in 50 years the EU is still stuck. I imagine we're in uncharted territory given in less then my lifetime USB was invented and has gone through at least 14 iterations e.g. it's been changing very fast.

Unfortunately I fear even asking this question probably angers some, but I think it's an interesting question because unlike other things in history we're seeing such rapid iteration. Maybe the laws in the EU have accounted for this - it just seems like a short term good thing that could be not so great in a few years down the road... thoughts?
Non-deterministic computer programming (which is conceptually what ML/AI is: brute force the mapping from input to output upfront) sounds great and can truly unlock whole areas of problem and solutions spaces we didn't even know existed. Until you realize you're just creating infrastructure where you cannot possibly hope to determine behavior. Something that is fundamental to debugging and security.
Haha yeah it's hard to keep up especially in the JS world.
Oh yes! We need .http and .https too!

Reminds me of the old days,

> The name "Slashdot" came from a somewhat "obnoxious parody of a URL" – when Malda registered the domain, he desired to make a name that was "silly and unpronounceable" – try pronouncing out, 'h-t-t-p-colon-slash-slash-slashdot-dot-org'".
At Glastonbury, the largest line inside is for the free phone charging.

People queue for hours, a tragic waste of festival time.

Wireless pads would make charging times longer and hence the queues too.

Camping / trekking you still want cables for speed of charge
I’d watch the fuck out of that. SV was such a good show - miss watching it weekly while it aired.
I was never claiming pets should come to the office.

I am saying it's not signaling wealth or virtue to take care of your pet. Some people really love their animals, and are willing to part with their money for them. Using your example, I would never begrudge someone spending lots of money on their family either.

It seems you don't like pets, and that's OK. It's also OK for other people to love their pets even if it doesn't make sense. It doesn't have to be signaling.
Is that a big number compared to global population? And if it was not spend, how much lower would standard of living be? Straight up division would be less than 1000 per person alive. Not actually that much, 3 a day...
Ironic username! Anyway yes, I can see AI ending up being like any other form of compute with a few places you can rent it. Getting ahead in pure AI would be like trying to become a profitable web host. The rest of us will be making api calls from our web backends, as usual.
It sounds a lot like a ponzi, doesn't it?
Who pays for those hours?
In this sense, we live in a giant laser printer, and are all RMS: lacking source code makes it ridiculously hard for us to function in the face of product discontinuation.

Thought balloon: should companies be legally forced to escrow their source code with the government, so that the public is left less in the lurch?

>- in the streets: lamp post or dedicated post

My city has no lamp posts since sidewalks are too narrow. Lights are hung from overhead cabels between buildings.

>- at work (need parking anyway)

I don't drive my car to work anymore (thank god) but good luck forcing employers to spend money on installing enough charging stations for everyone. Some employers don't even have enough parking spaces for all employees so it's a game of music chairs already.

>- charge station with fast charge (not that different than gas stations, but slower)

Fast chargers are not ubiquitous yet, nor are EVs with it, especially affordable ones. And even EV fast charging is still much slower than filling a tank of gas in a cheap car.
I think between Bluetooth for data and Qi for power delivery, many consumer use-cases have been able to avoid the same trap as last time. But there's still a fair amount of devices in the point of sale space that dock directly to the lightning port. You'll see them if you look for them at the farmers market. So Apple isn't fully out of this bind yet.
This seems to sell maids a little short. I'm sure maids are just as capable of being script kiddies as anyone else.
You can clean USB-C the same way (I have before) but you need a needle or a very thin sim ejector
The moral of story isn't you should be a fisherman or something. It's that you shouldn't change your career (that works for you perfectly) just because someone who looks successful told you so.
More generally, curation has value (see web search or even hardware like an iPhone). And to your point, curation value is increasing because the volume of stuff needing to be curated is growing at what feels like an exponential rate.
It's not just explicit vs. implicit TLS that's an issue with MUAs. Assuming good implicit TLS configuration there's still no proper way to harden such connections against an active MITM - we don't have an usable MUA-STS standard.
This is one of the strongest pushbacks against USB-C that Apple have:

USB-C: You break the stem, you have a useless device and functioning cable

Lightning: You break the stem, you have a functioning device and useless cable.

One of these is clearly more optimal considering the cost difference between the two. Anecdotally, I have had problems with USB-C ports that I did not have with Micro-USB and (so far) with Lightning (admittedly I have only been an iPhone user for a year or so).

Of course, this directive is the correct stance and direction - having a standard and forcing it on everyone. It's just a shame the one they chose may be inferior.
I've read rumors that they actually did that first but due to politics, the USB consortium decided to use a new physical port design.
The regulations get updated, you aren't stuck on usb-c.

What EU wants to avoid is Apple giving "unfair" advantages to their own chargers (which could either come from Apple making better chargers or artificially slowing third party ones) defeating the purpose of having less electronic waste.
What has happened before will happen again. What has been done before will be done again.

It will start with Mozilla's new AI[1] that will soon be deciding on whether ecommerce offers and reviews are genuine, displaying accusations for the ones it decides shouldn't be taken into consideration by Firefox users. We all know it'll be only be a matter of time before topics such as inclusivity, vulgarity, and at least all of the others IE's Content Advisor covered are added back into the mix.

You are replying to a comment that was sarcastically referring to an excellent feature in a product that Google "retired": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inbox_by_Gmail
This has been discussed like bilion times in threads like this

The concept was iirc that industry will be reevaluating what needs to be standard
Aren't you running the second prediction on unencrypted data, contrary to what's said in the comment?
I don't believe psychiatry here. Life is tough experience in many aspects for most of us. We experience many forms of abuse not only physical, psychical too .... But psychical is harder too prove and measure. How they quantify all circumstances and decide that physical violence was determining or significantly more important here?
Most people can't even recognize or name psychical traumas they live through...

We all just grow scars and being traumatized by ever new experiences whole life. Which was worst?

You will have immediate reply to what will say here. I was beaten - not too hard in my early youth. It was common in our times/area my parents weren't hard on this. I don't blame them.I'm completely fine with this. I didn't beat my already teen children.

What I remember more was schaming by peers and or aunt's, whole catholic environment and other variations of minor - would would say - psychical violence. I was very shy and awkward for most of my life most probably thanks to this and not few beatings. But beating is easy to name, detect and measure.

Physical violence is easy to beat boy in whole spectrum of violence.

Will we ever be able to extract CO2 from the atmosphere by mimicking the process that goes on in trees? And perhaps speeding it up or increasing the density? Is that even feasible? Disclaimer I know very little about botany/biology/chemistry.. so if the question may be off.
Who cares? I haven’t charged my phone through the port in years.
Technically, no one; in practice, it gets done by both faculty and grad students/postdocs paid by universities as something that's expected of them to keep getting their wages for their primary work.
Yeah these suggestions often come from a place of “this is what I want” instead fully think it through. Those 4 steps and 5 warnings you need click through? Please! I don’t want to manage my family’s apple devices collection when things go wrong.
That would happen also on a browser by going on a fake website.

Actually pulling it off through a fake app sounds to me even harder to do.

People who charge through ports.
Sociopaths are instinctive liars.

They lie to everyone --- including themselves. They can't help it, it's a structural issue with their brain that can't be fixed with drugs.

This is not to say they are dumb. They learn over time what the rest of the world expects from them and how to fake it in order to fit in.

They learn rather quickly that they are expected to exhibit empathy --- even tbough they don't actually feel it.

In other words, a lot of mature sociopaths could easily pass this simple, transparent test. And I know enough about ASPD (learned the hard way) that I could easily fail it if I chose to.

Newton N. Minow, FCC Chief Who Deemed TV a ‘Vast Wasteland,’ Dies at 97
I quoted Capote ironically, not as an authority on writing, or typing. I would call what ChatGPT produces typing as opposed to writing, which brought Capote's quip to mind.
Agree with some of the points, but why would the + in the email name be considered anything else than part of the name? This is a Gmail feature, not part of any RFC that I know of...or are you talking about something else, perhaps?
Was that the buffered input during starttls connection? Man thanks for that. I had to go and update my code due to that paper.

And the mess I had unavoidably made around the sockets and starttls just made that worse. And there was no real way to unit test it.
That sounds like fairy tale engineering. Even for the IoT-with-a-potato-MCU use case, you'd be much better off offloading that computation to a trustable device (such as the user's desktop computer or home gateway) instead of shipping it off a cloud environment and paying the (absolutely massive) FHE tax.
Indeed the pricing is another big one. In public spots you'll have much higher prices than what you could get with domestic charging, meaning the ones who aren't home owners or can't have domestic charging get shafted further.
iPhone has magnets on the back that hold the charger in the correct position. I rarely used wireless charging before that because of how terrible it was… now I rarely plug my phone in.
Lazy reasoning. Previous bad press when changing 30-pin to lightning.
Show HN: ECommerce Site Using Astro, Supabase, Solidjs, Cloudflare and Stripe
We built an open source free to start sales page using Astro, Solidjs, Stripe Checkout (payment processing), Supabase (store the order information for fulfillment), and hosted on Cloudflare pages. The only expense at launch is when processing a successful payment you have to pay the stripe processing fees.

Motivation was to create a site primarily with open source tools (we try to be open-source first!) where we could sell a relatively low-margin product without a lot of overhead costs that come with some of the big name providers - shopify ($40/month), Squarespace ($23/month). Plus the whole thing was a great project to learn from.

You can check out a sample site here https://showhn.cat-test-codes.pages.dev/ You can go through the end to end process to see how the customer experience is. If you wish to submit a test payment to stripe information on test card info can be found here: https://stripe.com/docs/testing

If you happen to be in the market for a California Achievement Test (CAT) you can help support us by making a purchase on our live version of the site https://cat.datagrove.com/

This is one of my first real working projects so really looking forward to some discussion!
What kind of piece-of-shit cheapest junk cables do you guys buy? Is it another 0.99$ Amazon/aliexpress cable that you expect handles 130W charging while transmitting 10GB/s or similar?

I have cca 10 different usbc devices, and use all their provided cables to charge all other accessories. All works as expected, charges fast, transfers fast. The key is to not cheapen out and buy the cheapest crap. Just like with anything else in life.
Maybe I am wrong here, but shouldn't the quality metric be whether it acts as a basis for practical applications? As far as I understand, research is supposed to give theoretical answers and frameworks. X works like this. Y doesn't work like that. This knowledge should then be applied to the real world and will be prooved wrong or right. Maybe a silly thought, but I suppose pre 1800 science didn't have to pay such fees to proove the quality of their work, they just applied it.

(I understand not all papers can be immediatelly applied, but is that the majotity of the work? And if so, is that a good thing?)
With all this talk of ChatGPT clearing law school exams and all, I'd love to see a legal fight of lawyers armed with AI against "googles lawyers". I believe that'd be a net good.

For everyone else in tech, I suppose we can all vow to never purchase Google products as gifts for family.
As long as it still pops up reminders on my phone I don't really care what it's called.

Still - renaming stuff can be annoying, they renamed google pay to wallet and I only found out when I went to pay for something and it wasn't there.

Hunting Memory Leak in a Node.js Application on Kubernetes– Why Heaps Don’t Lie
I probably can't reliably distinguish LLM output from average writing from a real person -- the kind of "content" I find online. I believe I can distinguish LLM output from what a good writer produces. Anyone can write a Buzzfeed listicle or "review" of Madrid as pointless as what ChatGPT produces. But ChatGPT won't write Crime and Punishment, 1984, Lolita, Blood Meridian, or even On The Road or In Cold Blood.

People losing their jobs to ChatGPT don't even call themselves writers, at least not seriously. They produce content, most of it regurgitated the same way ChatGPT does it. If I produced content for online click farms I would worry about so-called AI. I don't think Murakami or Cormac McCarthy have to worry, but James Patterson might get replaced by an LLM (if that didn't happen already -- hard to tell).

In my own profession, some programmers already express fear for their future because Github Copilot and ChatGPT can write code just as good as they can. That should tell them to level up their skills, because if whatever they do can just get automated away by a glorified auto-complete they weren't adding enough value in the first place.
From experience I see that USB-C charger that was included with Pixel charges my SE 2021 via Lightning just as fast as original Apple charger, so why would they change anything (I mean the charging speed when switch over to USB-C)?
This has already been achieved with the Digital Markets Act, which will fully come into force by March 2024.
If .web launched in 2000, it might have had a chance, but I can't see how it could be worth $135 million in 2016. I guess I can't imagine the scale of the internet.
It probably is hard to remember the time when Apple wasn't the only company with its own proprietary connector because it has been already well over a decade since the EU first issued its ultimatum for the industry to fall in line behind one standard or get a law slapped into their face. Apple has been the only remaining holdout for almost just as long and basically single-handedly forced the EU to come through with its threat and write a law to force compliance.
I realized the brilliance of the name Quartz for the graphics framework. It’s what happens to “rendered” silicon.
