This would be an awesome lesson for them to learn, if they get confident in their encrypted comms, they might start writing what they really say behind closed doors. Then, when the prosecution flips one, we’ll get some real juicy stuff.

> Now I just have to wait for a Linux compatible version.

That'll probably be about 15-20 years. Apple will have to prove that their interfaces work, and the rest of the industry will have to follow, and hardware will have to be hacked, and new paradigms built, and eventually -- maybe -- it'll be possible to do a non-janky version of this on linux. But the UX is paramount here, and linux is notoriously bad at that.
I'm sure it would have been worse with people in their tweens, but it's not exclusive to them weirdly enough.

this is telling and insightful, thank you for posting directly. However, in the "I am in the great castle on the hill" ELSE "you are alone in your cottage kitchen" trying to sell "amazing-craft-thing" to "someone" .. is blind in important ways.

Civilization including specialists developed in many, many ways.. not just this overtly-fuedal manner (pun intended).

Significant groups, guilds, economies, academic institutions, militaries, drunken bro frat guys at a resort with poker chips.. all of those and more, are possible in a diverse world. People given tools and access build amazing things, sophisticated things, among the ordinary "coffee mug warmer" projects.

please consider this, manor dwellers

part II - sophisticated tools developed on company premises with advanced inputs over long time.. then BIG_EVENT happens and the situation changes.. anything from "investors pull the plug on expensive operation" to "C-suite drama" to "invasion" .. can change things very quickly. What happens to $TOOLS ? is the real value going to survive long court proceedings, or "code is locked up, lawyers are not available" .. Google Inc has not gone out of business, but these things do happen. Open Source License has to adopt to economies from Viet Nam to USA and everything in between. Practitioners must make the changes and norms because non-specialists rarely will. The norms have to change from economy to economy yet the value carries forward. This is years of work from specialists we are discussing, with a short half-life. waste is not optimal

The parent-post here focuses on "point of sale" dynamics, like a retail store or car lot, in order to make a statement about business transactions involving Open Source sophisticated tooling. There is no way that shows the life-cycle or player roles for this situation, therefore is wholly inadequate to use to extrapolate all possible value transfer scenarios
I think intelligent people refusing to acknowledged that science is not a field void of people with imperfect ethics, bias, financial gain incentive or a need to justify their position has immunized me from blindly trusting science. Many years ago a research professor at a highly regarded university basically described to me how funding worked at their university. Essentially the most important criteria was if their research had some promise of results aligning with who was giving the university funding. The second was how well you could navigate the politics of the university and the research funds director. This person expressed deep dissatisfaction that they had promising research in the cancer field that they could not get the lab director to fund because of the first two points.
Animals don't have the mental capacity reason about moral philosophy, so we can't really judge them for not behaving in another way. But we humans have, and yes, we can judge other humans for causing unnecessary suffering towards others.
Yes, sort of.

The first Intel Mac and the first ARM Mac were DTKs: Developer Transition Kits.

You’d buy them from Apple at a reduced price, could use them to get your software running, and then had to give them back when the real hardware was released.

There was nothing similar for the watch, iPad, or iPhone though.

Australia has fair dealing and rule of law. From a quick Google here is a list of some of the consumer protections afforded by their consumer protection organization: https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/buying-products-and-servic...

Economies that lack those types of protections haven't developed as quickly or as to the same level of economies that have them. This is true globally and throughout history.

What a first world country is from Wikipedia:

> the definition has instead largely shifted to any country with little political risk and a well-functioning democracy, rule of law, capitalist economy, economic stability, and high standard of living.

Perhaps reach for a book instead of pulling out the tired xenophobia canard.
This is sort of like adding momentum to a gradient descent algorithm, though. It is rational congeal support around a plausible hypothesis to see if it pans out rather than pursue all hypotheses (whatever that would even mean) in a desultory fashion. In the case of amyloid plaques there may have been some academic misconduct involved as well.

Sometimes I feel like non-scientists have this idea that scientists should be super-rational actors and never be bamboozled or be wrong, but frankly, that isn't realistic. Scientists are fallible, have finite time, and are subject to social trends and pressures like the rest of us. Expecting that they always get it right is unrealistic and not good for science.
That's like saying a ship doesn't have to sit in the water. You could put in in a dry dock too, and put wheels on it. But now it's not really a ship anymore. React, the UI framework, is a UI framework and is for user interfaces. The output _can_ be "not human consumable" but then it's not React, that's something else.
We've currently got the West panicking about a war in eastern Europe and ratcheting up the escalations (speaking of, I see we now have a couple of incursions into bone fide Russian territory - hope they weren't armed with NATO weapons). The odds of a global nuclear conflict are hopefully not in the double digit percentages, but I can't see why they aren't at a historic high in history.

Before that, we had mass lockdowns, economies shut down and people under something that wasn't house arrest because it was too industrialised. based mainly on evidence that turned out to be wrong and with solutions that didn't work as advertised.

Prior to that, we were seeing the start of the general economic catastrophe likely because the major economies refuse to let people secure long term access to cheap energy. There has been a big push to lock economies into inflationary currencies that are being used to prop up what appear to be failed, wealth destroying businesses. There is a pretence that companies making regular sustained losses are normal and investable.

I don't want to talk about seatbelts. I don't think they are that important. I don't care. I want people to stop this hyper-collective power accumulation that is doing a remarkable amount of damage. All of the major problems are being caused by huge, centralised moves of organised and (in 2 of 3) frightened people not thinking clearly about where priorities ought to sit. We knew all the way through that people aren't good at predicting outcomes of policy.
> This confirms to me what I suspected when I was trying to determine whether to host my own Grafana stack or use the Grafana Cloud free tier - that I'd end up spending a ton of time fiddling with a constellation of services I didn't actually care about that I could spend on the projects and services I do care about.

This. Although it can be fun to learn, I've done that, got the t-shirt (literally from a conference)
The English language evolved alongside the technology.

English used to be cursive-only, like something like Arabic. But the language evolved to fit into a modern world, and I think other written languages would benefit from a simplified "print" version as well.
I'm curious how that works, as the documentation is a little under-specified. It seems like it requires specifying exact "utterances" from the user, but I don't think that can be the case -- wouldn't it be flatly useless that way? But it's not clear how to use it to, for example, disallow talking about politics. Or to disallow talking about topics unrelated to the dev's product, for that matter.
What prevents it from becoming the norm for the "statistically insignificant" data to be published alongside the rest?

Even point 2a seems weak. That must be true of any research... someone who did not know or did not understand the methodology should fail to make sense of any data provided, and that's on them not on the research itself.

Point 1 is really the one I don't understand. Is it medical/health privacy that prevents this? Surely no one expects unanonymized data to be provided. This is about teasing out bad research, not indicting anyone for the falsified sort.
Yeah and those people aren't going to pay significantly more money for a Mac M2 Max.
> Either of them will tank the process if not handled up the stack.

No. I think your mind must have its grooves set by high level languages to think this way. I was very deliberate when I said it's unwise to recover from bad pointer dereference in your own process. It is not safe and invites a world of pain. It isn't "an exception" that you can "catch and move on from". It is death. Yes you can install a handler for SIGSEGV or Win32 access violation. That doesn't make it a good idea.

You can handle it safely, but only from the safety of another process. Or the kernel can handle it in a page fault interrupt for a user process. This is because your own address space is known good in those cases. But handling it in your own address space, I would not advise that.

We’ve had many technological advancements, but few touch on concrete problems that actually save time or reduce costs for individuals. I suspect the next few decades will have more impact in this regard than the last 50 years.

Full self driving might be an example in the near future that will measurably lift standards of living for many. More automation, AI and robotics are the key.
Ditto. I've recently just completed a migration from Thanos to Mimir, and I've found that its much easier to operate and administrate. Still stuck on Elastic for logs but I'm slowly convincing developers Loki can be just as effective.
The ones in my house have learned that if they don't fuck with me or my dog, then we won't fuck with them. We all live in bug-free harmony thanks to my spider bros (jumpers - no web makers, fuck them in particular).
What I've noticed in my town is that the cheap employee-owned grocery store on that side of the tracks has had the same prices for years. But the stores on the other have increased their prices significantly, charging what the market will bear.
Symbian devices had Opera Mobile and their own Webkit-based browser from at least 2005. Both of which rendered normal websites, not WAP.
I don't think OP is saying smartphones aren't dystopian in practice, just that no one set out to create the dystopia. That part of the Vision demo showed that the designers thought that this additional contribution to our dystopia was a positive thing, and that's concerning.
> These InteractionHandlers are just objects satisfying a specific TypeScript interface. They’re not coupled to React or hooks or anything like that, which feels quite freeing, honestly. There’s no worrying about stale closures or dependencies or hooks rules - it really is just TypeScript.

> None of the interactions depend on a particular rendering system. We can actually use the DOM as a render target with all its pointer events disabled, and use this interaction system on top, which is quite neat!

In general, I think this is the most important takeaway here. Too often, we couple all our frontend logic to the rendering framework (especially state) when it has no business living in React and being tied to the component lifecycles.

I've had really good experience with MobX for React - separating out all our state into independent observable objects that React simply reacts to. This really cleans up a lot of logic and makes the presentation layer very clean.

In particular, a pattern that I believe in is simply exposing singleton, global stores for various parts of my application - effectively treating them as APIs that the rest of the app can subscribe to.
But surely you can get a clear shot over your shoulder as you are being probed? ;0)
This feels similar to MagmaChat [1] which I open sourced about a month ago. Except mine is in Ruby on Rails.

> 2. Google docs wants the same document to render exactly the same on all OS / browser combinations.

I think the industry needs to let go of this need for control. The browser is a user agent, not an author agent, and the same should be true of a document viewer. (Ideally, the browser itself should _be_ the document viewer.) For accessibility, if nothing else. And as for users brute-forcing a page break, let them be forced to finally let go of the print medium. We've been shackled by the print-first approach for long enough. Yes, I'm talking about accessibility again.
Thing is, you don't have to cut through the noise these days. Low energy/low bandwidth radio communication routinely sends messages below the noise floor.

Depends on you application, but if you only send some bits of information ("stocks just crashed") having a big thumper with a very known impact profile is sufficient.
Once, years ago, I got into a debate with somebody online who just kept dropping links to studies after making a statement as if it proved them correct.

One day, I got bored and decided to actually read every single study. The studies said nothing close to what the debater suggested and seriously opened my eyes to just how terrible some studies can be in terms of quality.

Now, I just assume that anybody who starts link bombing in a conversation has no idea what they're talking about and can't engage on a logical discussion.
Probably because being jacked in to what amounts to a $3500 Safari browser and an Apple amusement park feels less like Terminator's HUD and more like the guy in the Matrix that decided to believe he's enjoying eating an imaginary steak in an imaginary restaurant.

Yes, because by definition this is a shared experience. Phones are isolating because no one knows what you're looking at and it's rather hard to share the small screen even if you want to.

> Mandatory "AI generated" mark may help a bit

This will never happen, promise you that a major CGI sequence will ship completely AI generated in a Marvel movie within 3 years. This tech will be so integrated into workflows of Disney and the like that the idea of an "AI Generated" watermark will be as ridiculous to them as a "3D Rendered" watermark and if any legislation comes about they'll be against it.

Calling the 2008 financial crisis a "death-and-resurrection experience" is a bit hyperbolic. Nobody important went to jail, the banks got bailed out after a couple of them merged, and the bankers still got their bonuses.

The only people that got fucked were the customers. The financiers got their just fine.
If this were really the optimal solution to all problems we would already see it not just at the level of human society, but all over nature as well. And yet we don't. Group behavior is extremely powerful. It might be the case that atomized individuals will find "truth" faster, but a collective can leverage truth much more efficiently when it is found. Not only that, but nature is replete with organisms for which group behavior is clearly an advantage.

I think its interesting that you say, ultimately, that the rational response can't work because of human nature. But if that is the case, then it can't be the rational response. The rational response would be the optimal response that takes human nature into account. I can't say I know what that is, but I doubt its anarchy.
Asahi Linux's site previously redirected any site with the Referer header set to 'news.ycombinator.com' to google.com. They did this because they believe that Hacker News' community fosters a hostile environment, and thus it was blocked. Setting `rel=noreferrer` on an `a` tag means that the browser will not submit this header, thus meaning this sort of redirect will not occur. Also(as per Marcan's Mastodon account), this rel tag has only been added to asahilinux.org links, not any other links on HN. This means that the moderators of HN believe that the commentary that has in the past been quite misinformative should be allowed, and they are deciding to bypass the block that was put in place by the Asahi team. Now, as per https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/110503331622393719 , they're adding an HTML header to anyone who has submitted a post to HN(or has the submit page in their history), as they have no other way of doing anything, as they no longer have the Referer header.
the best addon is Keepa, they have a time series price tracking thats added right in the page
Labor markets were strong for long periods of the off shoring process, but countless people were displaced, many of whom didn’t have the ability to retrain to equivalently paid jobs. My comment upthread details that aspect of things.

Also offshoring was absolutely driven by technological advances. Commercial grade network speeds made some of it possible, and even more of it simply more convenient, cheaper, and w/ less friction than it would have taken earlier.

As one small example one of my projects at my first job out of college was for a small publishing company. It was a jack-of-all trades job but this project had me working on digitizing the back catalog. They had decades of prior publications, books, journals that were print-only. They paid significant (comparatively) fees to get the most in demand of the back catalog’s abstracts transcribed by a US firm, and even more money for whole articles or books that were really popular. However advances in the speed of scanning technology and OCR accuracy meant that costs went down. In particular better tools for things like human-assisted OCR meant that we could offshore the scanning of the entire back catalog to a firm in India where those tools could be used by people with less domain knowledge and non-native fluency in English to achieve similar results. I oversaw coordinating the technical details of the deal, implementing parts of the in house database for the results, and the integration with the digital platforms of the day.

None of that was impossible with prior tech, but tech advances both lowered the cost and friction of doing it from half a world away.

Separately you can look at advances is shipping & logistics technology, some even decades prior to the digital revolution, that made offshoring of manufacturing a viable economic option. Just one part of that was containerized shipping & its massive growth in the 60’s and 70’s paving the way for significant globalization >= the 80’s. All of that required technical advances.
I was never able to confirm anything official but I always had trouble uploading large files (multiple GBs) on Starlink despite having great service otherwise.
The point is that you'll be able to play games on the machine you already have. Yes, a PC with GPU is going to be better and people that are really into gaming will probably always opt for that. But there's a big casual market out there too.
>Stock is still the easiest, safest, cheapest option - VS your own shoot.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "safest" vs shooting your own?
And the current day thinking is very conservative, especially Unicode wants to be able to capture and preserve every single little detail of writing that ever existed. Historically human languages were far more flexible, and did adapt to changes; not being able to reproduce everything exactly as hand-writing didn't stop printing press, and various languages added and removed letters from their alphabets. Try writing things in a different way these days and you will be told that stuff is misspelled or otherwise wrong just because it doesn't match what some grumpy old men decreed hundred (or two) years ago.
> Is it difficult to build this thing?

Yes.

> What would a startup need to make this work as a business?

Extensive contacts in the submarine navigation ecosystem and several decades of deep knowledge of highly complex, highly classified, related navigation systems that this product would need to interoperate with.

This tech is not a magic locator machine on its own, it's a component that improves one small but important part of a very large and complex locator system and locator ecosystem.

If the startup has that sort of contact list and experience, it's probably not a startup, it is most likely a division of one of a very small number of very large defense contractors.

(And for those who might argue it's not just for submarines, if the startup has the relevant contacts in the submarine navigation ecosystem, it probably also has the relevant contacts in the other equally classified navigation ecosystems like for cruise missiles and etc., and the technicals aspects of this particular part of the problem domain will probably be relevant across other platform types, even if the details of submarine vs cruise missile inertial navigation platforms are different.)
