It’s also a great reminder that this data is imprecise and shouldn’t be relied on for anything important, by anyone.
Baking in western social norms, and eventually all global regional ones, is a big competitive advantage. The corporate side doesn't want ethical but bland. Even most coloring outside of those lines should still be bland too - think Disneyificatian vs independent film & alternative media.

Speaking as someone doing LLMs with banks, gov agencies, etc, and recognizing enterprise is ~1/2 of b2b and the US market is huge for tech.. this isn't super different from bringing in a consultant who will get actively/passively fired vs not for pissing off the customer. In most cases, we'd take inoffensive vs slightly better just to head off that huge risk.

I suspect most researchers don't think this way, but hard to avoid at the leadership ($$$$) level, that's just modern business culture, and that's who funds it ultimately

Didn't Mastodon recently announce search improvements and quote posts, which were some of the Twitter features lauded on Mastodon as "toxic"?
Pro do what you want. Personally I end up working from a coffee shop once a week, I'd be alright with flexible hybrid. I do get some social needs met from family, but I clearly benefit from getting out of the house. With kids, it's easier this way than having your own weekly extra-curriculars (though I try to set time for some). Friends in this city are few and weekends get repetitive.
There's https://zealdocs.org and it's something similar if not the same. For Mac you need to buy the Dash app.
Kind of, but not really. What GM is proposing here goes even deeper.

There are three current solutions -

- (2018 -> Today) Some existing solution that runs QNX as the base OS, that runs Android Auto / Carplay as an Application

- (2023 - > Today) A new based OS that is a skinned version of Android Automotive OS (AAOS / https://developers.google.com/cars/design/automotive-os) that runs both Android Auto Carplay and Carplay as an application, with the Automaker working with Google to incorporate customizations along with patches and updates to the base OS. Think Samsung's customized version of Android, and how they work to implement patches for major OS updates from ASOP. The infotainment used on General Motor's Global B architecture uses this.

- This proposal (2025 Model Year -> Future) - runs a customized version of AAOS that does not have Android Auto / Carplay support. My guess is that Google is throwing them a bone here and offering extra support for the Automaker (deferring the Automaker's costs) if the Automaker allows Google to retain the usage data.

The earliest documents we have are lists, but I think it's hard to tell whether you're looking at a shopping list, an inventory, or what. Early scripts tend to be logographic for this reason, if you mostly write stuff like "Ten Amphoras of wine" then a symbol which means "Amphora of wine" seems pretty much as useful as a way to write numbers.
Maybe they’re not submitting it because they’re worried the IETF will say “we already have an existing protocol” and use the standards carrot as a way to force them to make compromises.
I can't help but wonder if they were legally allowed to do this bullshit anyway.

If I failed to migrate my account, are they allowed to deny me access to the product I paid for?
AirDrop is - by far and large, especially in the Apple ecosystem - the single most unreliable, almost guaranteed-not-to-work piece of software I’ve used.

It works - for me - with any combination of Macs; old or new, desktop or laptop, on any given network configuration; in any location - about 3 or 4 out of ten times I give it a shot.

It’s honestly baffling to me how Apple has for more than a decade shipped a major feature that works easily less than half the time in my experience and my co-workers. Coworkers and I mostly completely avoid it at this point; and if we do actually give it a try, it feels more like praying to a God for rain than actually trying to use a piece of software.

I really have to wonder what has made it just so, brutally; unusably broken, for more than a decade.

I just guess nobody at Apple cares?
Film and TV scores in Logic from the early '00s regularly get opened for sequels, prequels, interquels, reboots, remasters et al. I don't use Logic anymore, but when I did, that's one of the things that impressed me.

Logic on iOS? Could be an entirely different story as it relies on other apps as plugins that may change. Just to err on the side of caution, assume that if it isn't saved as audio or MIDI, you'll probably be screwed.
> I searched for a couple hours last week and couldn't find a single way to submit a CCPA request to Google.

1. Navigate to google.com

2. Click on Privacy on the bottom of the page, redirecting to https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ > https://policies.google.com/privacy

3. Go to the "U.S. state law requirements" section, click on the "contact Google" link which redirects to https://support.google.com/policies/answer/9581826

4. Go to "Your privacy & security controls" > "Get help with privacy-related questions" > "Contact Google's Data Protection Office", and you get a link to their web form at https://support.google.com/policies/contact/general_privacy_....

The privacy policy can differ from country to country, I had to proxy into the US to get the section on US state law requirements, otherwise from the UK it's replaced with a European requirements section instead.

> CCPA requires data brokers and large tech companies to maintain at least two channels

My interpretation of the CCPA is such that a business that operates exclusively online only needs to provide an email address and the two or more designated methods does not apply.
Where is the innovation? Such a disappointment.
as someone who does not have a google account signed in to my android phone, who tries to mostly use f-droid, i find it deeply unsettling that all my actions are recorded by the overlords. why should you opt in to that?

you say turn it off but how many people know that option even exists?
The government who built the roads without any means of non-car transportation makes you just as reliant on them -- AND the car companies. I'd rather be reliant on collective benefit rather than a corporation who doesn't care if my car is broken down or I'm old and can't drive or I'm physically incapable of driving. All they want is my money. With public/non-car transportation people have the actual freedom. Reliance on corporations is the opposite.
I'm really excited for point 3.

I really wish iOS opens up to accept a real terminal.

I know iSH exists but it runs using usermode x86 emulation.
I doubt it. I predict a small temporary decline, mostly due to inflation. Demand will remain high. TC will recover when the stock market rebounds in a few years.
Oh, sure. Definitely not a million given my hypothetical goal would be to have enough to buy the home and then retire on the rest of the money, but yeah, once you get past a certain point it just becomes a headache to manage.
That page has great design. That shouldn't be anything special. But I have not seen something this clean in a long time.
The iPad is not an entry point to the ecosystem; the difference with Macs in terms of modality of use is too stark.

The Macs are simply meant to eventually go away. From the perspective of Apple, they are a legacy coccyx. For them the iPad, where nothing is replaceable and Apple is in full control of content distribution, is the superior form of computing.
I can only respond based on my experience.

1. Personally, an iPad for me is just another nice gadget. I'm a developer and I want my MacBook
2. The iPad has a lot of things less technical people prefer over a notebook:
2.1 - easy of / lack of - maintenance. It just works, you click the home button and it works, things are simply there
2.2 - battery life. iPad wins hands down from all other alternatives
2.3 - pencil. both for creative work as for boring office work and signing contracts
2.4 - games for the kids/pets. Roadtrip? waiting for the doctors appointment? anything? give them the iPad and have them kill time with $random thing
2.5 - support. No matter what the problem is, walk into an Apple Store and have it fixed. (I know some parts of the world have different service, but at least here in .nl its perfect)
> Full stop.

I was going to argue but then he used "Full stop" which pretty much proves his point immediately and irrevocably.
Even if it were true, it'd be an accounting trick. Outside of Columbia, there is no where the Federal government can tax to generate the revenue to pay said teachers. So the tax revenue would either come from the states directly or indirectly via inflation.
I have a couple of sources that agree with the proposition that taxonomies are broken, linked below. The short summary is that they can be useful, but they are always just models of the real world. As such, they will always be broken in some way. Even the example of number is incomplete. Is infinity odd, even, or something else?

That's an amazing read. The GM guy is shamelessly going on and on about all the ways he will ruin the experience for drivers, so he can extract more money from them with hardware lock-in.

Setup a caching repository proxy like nexus: https://github.com/sonatype/nexus-public

This is a little server you run locally and point your package managers like Gradle, pip, npm, etc. at it and it will grab dependencies from their upstream and cache them locally to be available offline later. Once you get it setup go wild adding every dependency you can think of using so it preloads the cache with good stuff. Unfortunately offline caching for package managers is really hit or miss and rarely a priority to support, so expect some pain getting it all setup. Good luck.

Also if you haven't already consider installing and learning languages with a good standard library so you can install them once and do a lot of stuff. Python, go, and deno are really good options with capable standard libraries out of the box. Avoid nodejs or similar minimal/no standard library languages. Rust is surprisingly bad/hard to use offline in my experience too (cargo constantly wants to hit the internet and needs a lot of handholding to play nicely).

This is my perception as well, and the direction of Linux development of late (such as systemd) offers no comfort.

I am in the process of moving all of my machines away from Linux and to BSD as a result of this trend.
It applies to corporations all the time. Really big corporations with lots of money and influence (like human beings with lots of money and influence) may avoid responsibility for their actions, but most corporations are _small_ and a best-effort but unintentional misstep of the law can wreck them.
> it's about the millions of people they are trying to help that have no freaking clue about what location history means.

Maybe they should consider learning to read before complaining about not being able to understand things? Google very clearly explains what it means.
Well, for a $200 app that was feature complete when I bought it, I am not at all sure what I'd want them to do with it. It'd be a really hard sell to go from almost a decade of "free and professional" to a subscription model- I'd much rather have them just keep maintaining the software exactly as is so I can use it when I buy my next MBP in 2026.

So I am a bit skeptical that your prediction is accurate. But I can't tell the future and I don't know folks at Apple so maybe you know something I don't.
His specialty is keeping Apple tech out of cars.
> The article we're commenting on makes it very clear that the UK is a monarchy

It absolutely doesn't. The article doesn't even mention the word monarchy.

It was written before the recent arrests at the coronation.

We can talk about what influence the monarchy may try to exert on the government behind the scenes (and I believe there will be some - and there shouldn't be) but back channeling aside, our democratically elected government is the body which runs our country, not the monarchy, and therefore is correctly the target of this article.
Say what you will about McSweeney’s, but to me they can ride _Macroeconomic Changes Have Made it Impossible for me to Want to Pay You_ [1] for another couple of years.

jtreminio says:"I don't trust law enforcement to do the right thing. I don't trust that grown adults sworn to serve and protect would act quickly to neutralize a threat that's not against themselves or their loved ones."

Your decision, were it properly weighed, would have to also assume that you could do better somehow but that is impossible (even if you were John Wick or Jason Bourne).

The hubris you display is enormous! Imagine that the American embassy had dropped an Chinese-American citizen into the middle of the square during the Tiananmen Massacre and demanded that he rescue the man under the tank!

Emotions got the better of you - you're in denial. There are a few more steps before you'll admit that retrieving your child was a futile and risky act for you, him and everyone else.
It seems like sarcasm in response to sarcasm. Gets hard to understand what the actual position being advocated is.
We made a worse laptop.
I know this is a hard situation and I don't want to make light of it, but maybe for inspiration you can look at what some other programmers were able to accomplish by deliberately going offline for some days/weeks. I was reminded of this post by John Carmack about why he chose BSD for his offline programming week, instead of Linux.

The article provides some pretty good examples of Chomsky's theory of "manufactured consent". FB made sure to set up a charm offensive with the right actors:

- 5000wd exclusive TheVerge interview, whose audience are largely FB-skeptics

- Obligatory puff piece from the Wall St Journal

- McKinsey estimates of economic value

- Gartner Consulting (less said the better)

It's saying something when the monkey jpeg corporation put forth a use case that actually didn't sound all that delusional relative to what FB themselves were pitching:

> "The people behind the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT company conned the press into believing that uploading someone's digital monkey pictures into VR would be the key to "master the Metaverse."
> A free society

It is not just that. The mandate to privacy is anterior (and ancient), in terms of "do not expose yourself to the judgement of the ignorant".
There is no explicit "list;" the title is being deliberately dishonest to foment outrage.

> A TikTok representative told the Wall Street Journal that the data set was accessible on the dashboard to authorised employees only and that the dashboard was deleted in the US almost a year ago.

That said, the fact that even a database view exists is a problem. The threat is real-- it's the same reason the Chinese were interested in buying Grindr.
You are conflating boldness with assholery. You can be one without the other. But the problem is that assholery is what is most visible on the outside, so people tend to attribute any outcome to it.

Tim Cook and Satya Nadella for instance are good examples of bold CEOs who are not assholes. They have risen through the ranks organically over decades, and are widely regarded for making bold moves as CEOs and being successful at it. Satya Nadella in particular is credited for bringing about a cultural change within Microsoft and creating an environment where risk taking and learning are emphasized.
Way less efficient though
My Tesla driving friend let his Tesla subscription lapse over a card failure last week, and the infotainment system, that has Spotify -- with an account he pays for -- no longer functions.

But like, if he paired his bluetooth, he'd get Spotify playback capability, he'd just have to use his voice to explore Spotify music.

Meanwhile, me in my 2004; with an aftermarket radio - with wireless tethering to my phone OR a google Fi sim, can do Carplay OR independently run maps and spotify -- for $0 extra a month.

Lol, this is HN. Comments are often incredibly negative, and frequently enough - wrong or not quite right, yet arrogant &/ opinionated etc.

Others taught me long ago to try to keep something of a 'critical eye' turned on whenever I'm reading news etc. I try not to judge simply for the sake of judging, nor let past impressions completely overwhelm info right in front of me, but having some sort of basic impression / expectation of people, journals, newspapers, websites, etc. is helpful in avoiding some time wastage and filling my mind up with (more) utter nonsense.

I end up disagreeing with / doubting many comments on HN, yet still get a LOT out of reading even those comments - just in the sense of sort of the 'zeitgeist' and what sorts of BS I'm likely to come upon elsewhere.

... IMAO (in my arrogant opinion)
Is the power grid going to be affected as well?
If so, I'd suggest also getting a few physical books, just in case.
At the coronation of William the Conqueror the soldiers were really nervous, no one was sure how people would react to William's coronation for a variety of reasons. There was a large crowd outside the church. At a certain point in the ceremony was the acclamation where the people are asked if they accept the king. This was asked in French, then English. Somehow the Norman soldiers got confused at this point and thought this was a start of a riot and began to attack the crowd and set some houses on fire. Some of the more enterprising Norman soldiers took the opportunity to loot nearby houses. The ceremony fairly abruptly ended at that point with no one inside being sure what was going on.

So I guess the MET can point to that as an example of historical precedent and how they handled themselves with relative restraint.
I would download books and code relevant to my work so i can learn and practice offline. Tons of it. Also once i have a working setup i’d take a backup in case i need to restore my os and other tools.
Sigh.

This is like Americans being terrified of living in Australia, b/c they've been convinced by Animal Planet that they'll be killed by venomous wildlife.

There are dangerous places, but everyone you are working with will quickly let you know where they are in your area, and you can avoid them.
Didn’t Australia do this? Or are you saying that the US is unique in gun culture? Not rhetorical, I’m genuinely interested.

Certainly some element of that - though there was also just a dearth of packages/libraries for most languages, you got the compiler, the standard library and if you where really lucky some vendor extensions that didn't make you want to weep softly.
I remember working through Brian Harvey's SICP lecture notes and HWs a couple of years ago. Each Homework had one harder exercise labeled "Extra for Experts" which I later found out was standard in a lot of UC Berkeley courses.

The recursion HW was really fun so I took it upon my self to never look up the answer to the Extra exercise no matter how long it took me to solve it. The problem was to re-implement the recursive function of the last exercise using only lambda functions. I wrestled with it for hours, then gave up, then got back to it days later before I finally cracked it.

Later that day I googled the question to see better/ more elegant solutions and found out about this thing called Y combinator, I googled it to know more but everywhere I look I see this company called Ycombinator. Down the rabbit hole I went and 27 PG essays, 230 HN hrs and 2 years later, here am I

Good times :)
I agree to a large extent, but I've been pleasantly surprised just how much audio hardware works using a USB hub, especially now all iPads have USB-C ports with the exception of the 10.2 inch entry one.

Given how many USB accessories now work with the iPad, I really really wish Apple would relent and at least give us two USB ports on the side like the MacBook Air.
John Wick is a fictional character, we should use real examples when discussing the real world.
>but to get your application in the MAC store

You do not need to put your app on the store. Macs come free with Xcode and always have since OS X was released and you can compile and run whatever you want. You can sign code without submitting to the App Store if you really care.

Macs are friendly to normies, but that doesn't mean you can't tinker with them. You can. They are like an iOS device and a UNIX system and everything in between, not only one or the other.

The day they start making you jailbreak a Mac is the day I move to linux, but until then, most of what you hear about them are just bs from people who've never used one.

They have this misguided perception that EVs require some deep level integration via some customized build of AAOS, that can't already be solved by individual apps on a smartphone.

Namely - customizing charging times at home for off-peak rates / usage, identifying chargers on a specific route or daily commute, pre-warming or pre-cooling a car (which can be done already today because all these vehicles have LTE or 5G modems already), saving profiles that save mechanical preferences / functions like mirror / seat settings.

People want buttons and knobs to control mechanical functions like HVAC, mirrors, and seats. People don't see the value associated with the premium price of having an driver to passenger end to end full screen display, such as what was first implemented on the Mercedes EQS and is now being implemented on the (Chinese made) 2024 Lincoln Nautilus.
