I love this project. Having used Streamlit and Plotly Dash a lot, I find this project imposes fewer constraints. That said, it didn't support my target browser so I wrote my own and in the process (re)discovered fine grained reactive (e.g. solidjs) as an improvement over the VDOM. Anyway, the outcome was a similar approach but supporting the Kindle's browser. https://github.com/esensible/silkflow
I wholeheartedly agree, but will add the further complication:

who is the user anyhow?

Is it the downstream packager, or the importer of your library, or the end user of the distro that includes your thing, the unfortunate sysadmin who needs to glue it together, or his boss, or the "luser" trying to use the tool containing your thing, or his boss, or their shareholders?

What if all these "users" do not agree on some point or other?

It seems like a conundrum with a likely non-ideal outcome.

> It doesn't charge the battery over 80% at all, unless it detects that you have a normal waking time, in which case it charges fully right before you normally wake up.

My iPhone disagrees with you. I go to bed and wake up at just about the same time. If I somehow managed to drain the battery below 80%, when I plug it in, it'll charge to 80 and then tell me that by the time I wake up in the morning, it'll be fully charged. Which is the case.

But the most common use case, for me, is waking up, leaving the phone plugged in (WFH). Maybe go for a walk around noon, snap a picture or two. Forget to plug it back in and get back to work. Plug it in as I go to bed at 95%. It tops right up, doesn't wait until the morning.

> Unfortunately, other companies copied the 80% charge bit without copying the part about figuring out if you have a normal waking time and giving you a full charge right before that.

But that's actually what I want. With very, very rare exceptions, I never need a full charge on my phone. Hell, until a few weeks back, I was rocking an iphone 7 with a battery in a questionable state (started bulging). That thing never went below 60% with my use patterns. 60% meant night out, so a hefty dose of maps use. Normal days, it didn't go below 85-90%.

I think the issue is that Apple expects that when you wake up in the morning, you unplug your phone for the day and actually use it a significant amount. Which isn't my case at all. If I don't leave my house, it'll stay plugged in. I usually forget about my phone since everything I need to do, I do on my computer. For the occasional phone call, I can either keep it plugged in (the cord is long enough) or it's already connected to my headset, so don't even need to go fetch the phone. If I don't go to work, it can stay plugged in for days on end (I don't always grab it when I go out).
I don't think so.

Apple builds an insanely strong core from which any and all other teams can (maybe must) build on top of and use to power their team's platform.

You have a core messages team for example - off of which Mac, iPhone, and Apple Watch teams integrate. Do that for each core service or product (photos, safari, notes, music, etc).

The Amazon structure is such that everything flows from the person above you, work is not shared between teams.

One is compositional (Apple). The other is inheritance (Amazon).
Apple doesn't even touch the GPL if it can avoid it (thus why its software is mostly based on BSD licensed code).

It would even be further beyond the pale to say "here is a linker for 3rd party developers to use... oh, and its AGPL, sorry 'bout that."

So to the question from the GP:

> Why didn't Apple just use mold?

Because they won't tell 3rd party developers to use AGPl software or require a 3rd party developer to use a different 3rd party developer's licensed software that may change.

If Apple is going to release something, they're going to develop it and release it themselves with as few other encumbrances as possible.
It looks like the library in Rust is using `tract-onnx` to do the inference: https://github.com/Rikorose/DeepFilterNet/blob/2a84d2a1750a5... I am wondering whether using Python for research, training in big data center, and Rust at edge for efficient inference would be a trend in the future. We do have a larger community of C++ right now for inference (e.g. ggml). But Rust crate as component to build applications of AI is joy to use.
I can think of a better solution: bring proper discipline back to schools.

Even 2-3 star hotels in SF are expensive and hard to book. Most of them tend to be in the tenderloin as well.

With face tracking and 4 people wearing the headset you could just put them anywhere in you FOV if you wanted to, no need to pass through and see physical screens showing a face through two levels of camera + screen.

> This was Microsoft's warcry for years: who cares if Apple has better software? We have better hardware.

What on earth are you talking about? Microsoft is a software company first. They rode the Windows advantage for more than a decade and didn't have anything to do with the hardware, because they aren't a hardware company. Windows ran (and was preinstalled) on everything, from the lowest tier of trash to the highest end machines, and Microsoft didn't care about the quality of the hardware, because they owned the platform that everyone used for computers. Office is another software product that still doesn't have any real competitors and is one of Microsoft's biggest cash cows.

On the flip side, when exactly did Apple have better software than Microsoft? Their office suite is barely usable for anything outside of the most basic use cases. Apple beat Microsoft in mobile, and Microsoft kept its head in the sand and assumed the Windows advantage would live forever and didn't wake up until Ballmer was gone, after Apple had started eating their lunch in the laptop space, but the assumption was that Windows was so good people wouldn't switch, not that Apple had bad hardware and good software, if only you could run it somewhere else.

Microsoft is named for being SOFTware for MICROcomputers, they don't have a blind spot around software. This is some Soviet revisionism or something.

That's not the same SoC, which didn't exist when that article was written (and can't be bought yet either). It's a different SoC, the Allwinner D1, which uses the same C906 core (but only one of them, not two) and has been shipping on SBCs for two years.

Apple won’t be making an effort to support anything.

This is a Developer tool to help developers figure out what it’s going to take to port their games to the Mac.

End-users don’t get to use it. You can’t bundle it with your game. The license forbids it.

It’s very interesting, and I’m sure the community will make the best use of it they can, but it isn’t designed to be the Mac Proton.
Why would there be finished documentation available when the board hasn't shipped, and can't even be pre-ordered yet?

Also, boards with an SoC with a single 1 GHz C906 core have been shipping for two years, and people testing them have found them superior to a Pi Zero (about 15% faster on average). This board has dual 1 GHz C906s, which is obviously better again.
So in the end... the easiest way to develop cross-platform PC games is just target Windows and Direct3D 12, and let Wine/other D3D12 emulators handle the heavy lifting.

During the "balloon shootdowns" earlier this year, NORAD referred to them as objects and some people looked a little shook. They wouldn't show us pictures from any camera.. not from the planes, not from the missiles, nada. Yet, when Russia clumsily attacked a US drone near Ukraine, footage of the event was made available almost right away.

The "balloons" absolutely were referred to as objects, and you should question what was so special about them that they won't show anything.

Embarrassment at repeatedly scrambling F-22 Raptors to shoot missiles at a child's party balloon is not a good enough reason.

It was something. It wasn't nothing and it's just been brushed under the carpet as if it never happened.

From the way it's described, realityOS seems more equivalent to an iPad Pro than a MacBook. Many people don't need anything more than a powerful iPad in order to be productive.

So we could clear up the confusion about what "learned helplessness" means by instead calling it, "hopelessness", or "despair"?

Interestingly enough, the definitions of hopelessness and despair are circular references to each other:

hopelessness | ˈhōpləsnəs |

noun

a feeling or state of despair; lack of hope

despair | dəˈsper |

noun

the complete loss or absence of hope

BTC has been around since 2008. Today in 2023 BTC is like $27k. Does the longevity, ubiquity, price and liquidity of BTC fit the pattern of a useless get rich quick scheme? Has any such scheme existed this long, despite so much scrutiny and hostility, based on hype and confidence alone?

If no useless speculation scheme has ever thrived as long and as much as BTC, and it keeps on going, at what point do you have to ask if your opinion just doesn't fit with reality?

The shady exchanges and shitcoins muddy the waters but have fundamentally nothing to do with BTC and a handful of other top cryptos.

> We have evidence that the earth was much cooler in the recent past as well as much hotter.

Whatever "recent" is to you, there are graphs comprised of plenty of good data which very strongly support the theory that industrialization by humans and the associated, rapid increase of CO2 have lead to increased retention of solar energy and all the effects that come with that.

There's also not really any doubt that raising atmospheric CO2 increases energy retention through reduced emission to space. It's something that can be modeled well.

> To say any of this publicly as a professor is career suicide.

Not true. I happen to know of a community college professor in a rural area who is popular with some people because he is skeptical of global warming... He's unqualified to be in front of a class talking about it, but some people like and encourage that sort of thing.

The fact remains that the oil lobby has paid big bucks to convince people AGW isn't a thing, while at the same time believing it was.

I think most of the skepticism pointed at the fundamental idea of AGW is a side effect of that propaganda, or more of the same.
Formal yes / no logic with an assumption of fully explicit axioms isn't a great model for things like this.

You never know everything you need to know, so you need a big pile of default assumptions (a model of the world). Hopefully as you go along you can figure out which assumptions you're using and make them explicit.

You needs to work with probabilities (is it going to rain tomorrow) and also validity domains (if I go to a different city I need to get a new weather forecast).

Bayesian training does a decent job of formalizing some of this.
