Can also be prevented with hard to necessary reforms accompanied by significant spending cuts. Public spending alone can prop-up the economy and outside of raw resources and infrastructure government owned companies tend to be very in-competitive.

I think most would prefer that folks with specialised knowledge make these decisions.
Digg was more or less dead before the v4 launch. They were already losing a flood of users to reddit and other social media networks (facebook and twitter were going though the roof). They had massive issues with voting rings manipulating their algorithm and selling access to their front page. And when new front page spots weren't bought, they were almost always just posts that had reached the front page of reddit several hours earlier.

This post also mentions an update to google search which hit them hard, and a bunch of internal issues, senior staff leaving. They had a limited runway and the company was going to run out of money unless they did something.

The something they decided to do was "launch digg v4". It wasn't ready from a technical perspective. Worse, it really looks like they skipped the market research step used their once chance to throw a bunch of ideas at the wall to see what worked.

There is always a line somewhere that divides a topic. When safety and security are worth it vs. when privacy and safety from authority is more worth it.

You seem to think that line should constrain authorities' permission to send up eyes in the sky for little to no cost. I think it could actually reduce government spying if it substituted for camera on every corner.

I share ocdtrekkie's confusion here.

Your original complaint was the lack of a "miniflare", i.e. a simulator for local development purposes. But you can run Sandstorm itself locally and there are in fact tools to streamline the process of doing app development using a local Sandstorm server.

Now you seem to be arguing something about how running Sandstorm locally is too much work for end users, who would prefer to use the hosted version? But I thought we were talking about app developers. End users don't need a "miniflare".
Depends on the model but that HuggingFace blog post on Falcon was just released in the last couple of days where they mention which models are using Reddit.

Reddit content is actively being pillaged by LLMs.

These types of items are generally only sold to large buyers with established partnerships. Eventually some stock gets allocated to wholesalers like ShopBLT[0] and CDW[1], which break tradition and sell directly to consumers rather than only selling to retailers/system integrators.

These are for the 80GB versions, currently priced at $30,000 per GPU. It will likely be many months before this 96GB version is available to prosumers, if it ever is at all.

My personal opinion, is that the relational model is the best option to model data, any attempt to avoid it, replace it, mimic it adds more complexity than it solve

Protesting corporations is so silly. You're not speaking their language. Corporations only speak Money. You can wave signs around with English written on them, write long protest posts, do these temporary boycotts, and so on, but they won't understand you because you are not speaking their language.

It's like protesting McDonalds for a day and then going back and ordering a Big Mac. The words you say in your language are going unheard, but the words you say in their language: "you buying things for money" are heard loud and clear.

I am no expert on Discord, I frankly have used it little. But my impression is, it's a replacement for subreddits? Not a replacement for reddit in the whole? Is there a single feed of everything that's popular within Discord? Like the equivalent of the reddit front page?
It's tacky but I don't think they are in any way implying an endorsement. Tesla, Ampere, Pascal, Volta, Kelvin, Turing (and quite a few more I can't remember) are all Nvidia architecture names, and are all named after historically important scientists (well, I have my reservations about Kelvin, but that's more personal opinion)

The potential is to replace computers. In its current version, it is basically an iPad on your face. Look a little forward and it is a laptop on your face. Imagine that the price came down to $1500-2000 in a couple years, now you can buy an Apple Vision instead of a laptop. And you wouldn't need to buy a TV either. So this does have device consolidation potential like the iPhone did and it can tap into an existing market like the iPhone tapped into the phone markets.

I think previous AR/VR devices didn't quite have the right sweetspot of hardware features (too low resolution, tied to one spot, extra controllers), but this one looks like it might just do it. What it doesn't have is a low enough cost, so it will be a slow start. I'm also still curious if there will be a "killer app" that encourages people to get into it, but the long-term vision of spatial computing is itself enough of a killer feature. I just wonder how long that will take.
Tell HN: Apple has an internal LLM
Apple has an internal LLM they have been testing for while. More powerful than the one demonstrated at WWDC. Still in testing and employees have to request access.
That's not Apple's problem, that's the budget conscious consumer's problem
Apple seems to have two modes they do quite well, create tomorrow, refine today (as it pertains to technology/personal computing).

Some % of the company seems to be focused on extremely polished loooonngg term second market mover advantage of bleeding edge tech, and some % of the company seems to be focused on continuous improvement of what exists today.

Apple does a great job of working on cutting edge technology that is generally applicable, watching other companies implement that technology, and then leap frogging them. At the same time, they improve their current offerings and "future focused groups" learn from what "current focused groups" are doing. I guess it's why you see fits and starts from Apple.

Has Apple every introduced anything totally new? Has Apple really "invented" anything product wise? I think they're just masters of second market mover advantage.

This is a great blog post:

"In 1979, a 24-year-old Steve Jobs struck a deal with the executives at Xerox: Jobs would allow the investment wing of Xerox to buy shares in Apple at a pre-IPO price, and in exchange Apple’s team of engineers would get to take an “open-kimono” tour of Xerox PARC. Over two visits, Apple engineers were given the ability to look under the hood of PARC’s most impressive innovations."

What a deal to strike, and at 24.

> Carmack had been pushing for an all-out device but got sidelined by Zuck's push towards cheap and scale

Is that true? From this article[1], it sounds like he had been pushing for cheap headsets, not expensive ones:

> There he talked about his internal efforts to push for the development of a "super cheap, super lightweight" Meta VR headset that could come in at "$250 and 250 grams." Instead, Meta has put its recent VR hardware efforts behind the heavily overdesigned and expensive $1,500 Quest Pro. "We're not building that [cheap, light] headset today, but I keep trying," Carmack said with some exasperation during the keynote.

> Almost universally, a major motivating factor among US nomads seems to be geoarbitrage – earning money in a strong currency and then living in a country where the local currency is weaker and the cost of living lower.

I realised that this is really the corrolary of importing workers. Instead of boosting wages until local workers are willing to work, employers take advantage of misery around the world and bring in those willing to put up with the conditions. A misery-arbitrage if you will.
VR "for the masses" has always been hobbled by the extreme prices, extreme hardware demands and incompatibility. Even very early tech like VRML died because of that.

I suspect Apple VR will lead to a short and shallow VR boom, followed by it going the way of Apple TV, 3D TV and (not quite comparable, so with reservations) AR glasses.
I know lots of people that own bitcoin. I haven't met anybody that uses bitcoin to spend it on anything.

It still makes front page news on reddit if someone does groceries with crypto: https://old.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/13a9q3r/yes...

People write articles if a house gets sold with bitcoin: https://finbold.com/house-in-portugal-sold-for-3-bitcoins-in...

Spending bitcoin on "stuff" basically doesn't exist. It's a rounding error.
I skimmed the document to go directly to the questions Coinbase is asking, and really, the first question is:

> Are the Howey and Reves tests the appropriate tests for determining whether digital assets are securities?

Which makes it pretty clear to me that a) Coinbase is aware that the Howey test applies to cryptocurrencies, b) Coinbase is aware that many cryptocurrencies are likely to be classified as securities requiring registration by the Howey test, and c) they want the SEC to change its regulatory position so that is not the case. Skimming many of the remaining questions, it is striking that Coinbase isn't complaining about a lack of clarity in the current regulations, they're complaining about what the current regulations require them to do.

lol. From page 2 of that document:

> Rather than initiate new rulemaking, Chair Gensler has repeatedly stated through speeches and
testimony that the vast majority of digital tokens are securities, and has asked issuers and
exchanges that offer, sell, and trade them to come in and register. We disagree that the majority
of digital assets are securities. For those digital assets that are securities, registration under the
current rules is, for many market participants, either not possible or not economically viable given
the associated and unnecessary compliance burdens.

This doesn't seem that surprising to me, or at least I expect we should also see an increase on Saturday. People like to do harder work, like lawn projects on the weekend, and things like drinking that can affect the heart.

You have that completely backwards.

Whats your point, theres similar marches in Russia too, does that make all of them Nazis?.
My assumption is that Apple’s big innovation on a familiar looking form factor is addressing the issues you describe.

Apple generally succeeds with mass market friendly ergonomics. I understand skepticism about unreleased technology, but I personally wouldn’t make the assumption Apple has botched the ergonomics on this release. It seems like exactly the kind of thing they would have focused on reaching a high level of quality with.
It doesn't no. No easily searchable information, can't be indexed to the web, and nearly impossible to find the proper server to even ask in.
I used to do this before switching to a Linux laptop. It worked mostly fine.
You’re 100% wrong on this one. No one is “challenging the definition”, merely challenging a fallacious statement written on HN which probably got the definition wrong, and step 1 is to post the definition so the statement can be debunked.

Legal terms often have idiosyncratic definitions shaped by case law, and you can’t simply use basic English understandings of terms like “common enterprise”.

Even in plain English “common enterprise” could have a variety of meanings, and sayjng “that is not a common enterprise” is super problematic.

In the case law, there is a clear precedent of hundreds of cases of having a “promoter”, and you are “depending on the efforts of others” to tout the security, and you are “in common enterprise” with that promoter EVEN IF you have never met.

If the Yu Gi Oh franchise stops doing the show, that affects your sales. See above, the actual defintion posted… and you will see that, in fact, Yu Gi Oh and Pokemon definitely has a common enterprise in the legal definition of the term

No, like completely trashing OpenGL and OpenCL to make sure nothing ever runs on their machines unless it's specifically spon fed to them through Metal (while having like an 8% market share so it's not cost effective to do so). Even Linux is better for gaming with Proton.
SQLite is readily capable of vastly bigger databases than that. Whatever limitation there is here isn't from SQLite.
First, personally I don't care what hardware or software people use, if they are happy with the tools that they using then that's good.

That said, Apple has been very hostile to hackers over the years imo. Hardware being hard to repair, access, upgrade, etc. I think at one point they were making it virtually impossible to replace components because they were serial locked.

As far as I am aware, progress Apple as made has been in response to public image issues or changes in consumer laws within the EU.

Plus Apple software is heavily indebted to Open Source software so they very easily could be releasing drivers for their hardware instead of relying on community to do backwards engineering.
I don't. The alarmism plays very much into the hands of both the powerful AI companies and regulators. Both benefit from restrictions, like the absurdist EU legislations, quite a lot.

France motivation is likely a realization that these legislations hinder their own companies, more than they would help keeping down the competition.
In fact the amd fine wine is just them fixing their drivers from launch
If these actions were always illegal why have the SEC waiting this long to act? Why did they interview all these people, promise licenses, encourage them etc? Why wine and dine SBF?

If people think Crypto should be banned, make the case. But let's pretend it is banned, that's just silly...

The SEC just lost a ruling (and got roasted by the judge) when they tried to suppress the comments of the previous SEC head explicitly saying Crypto is not a security.
A Halo device is not meant to sell, it is meant to impress. Apple doesn't want to sell this Headset at all. They want everyone to wish for a headset when it is able to sell one for $1000.

This is what long term planning looks like. You need to prime your audience to buy something, before they actually want to go out and buy it.

A few hundred millions wasted in the development of this device is pocket change for Apple.
The SEC didn't sue them over Bitcoin.

Seems obvious that Bitcoin shouldn't be unregulated and that there should be no question of which regulator has jurisdiction. Unfortunately that probably needs Congress to act.

I love good discussion on the benefits and costs to society of putting tracking, cameras, and tools in the hands of law enforcement.

I really am disappointed with the low-brow slashdot style "hurr durr what's next, trackers in our necks" level of comment.

Is there any way to implement a first response drone that isn't ripe for abuse? Can we put retention limits on the files? Can we require approval from a higher-up before deployment? Can the use be limited to felony assaults or higher?

Or would all of that be not enough, and we should intentionally ban drone use by law enforcement?
(feel free to correct me if I am wrong), but my main gripe against mobile ML frameworks (Android too) is they require the app to embed the ML model with the app (as opposed to the OS storing the model like a shared library).

TLDR: Main reason for the split is conflicts between portfolio companies in different regions (eg Stripe in the US, vs Airwallex in China, vs unnamed in India all going global and competing with each other), and increasing complexity of centralized back-office regulatory compliance operations across these different regions.

I'm not aware of a case where 1 USD becomes worth more than 1 USD.
This article is about police in Georgia. In Atlanta, the police are on recording saying they are actively targeting Cop City protesters with baseless charges as punishment to proactively dissuade them from persisting because they’re worried about their ability to turn the public, and because they identified vulnerabilities on their side the protesters could legitimately/legally pursue. The corruption is as incredible as it is typical - the small town ones have the same capabilities and incentives and this is normalized everywhere, it is the same institution everywhere.

Feasibility of open-source for 5G [pdf]
Very early in my life I went into freelancing. Now it’s consulting but it’s basically the same thing, just formalised.

I never hold a client for a very long time (I tried; if I do it goes badly as I’m unable to focus on it).

I hold a variety of personal projects which I work on in short bursts of time as they hold my interest vs not. I use the money I make from my regular clients to fund them.

I learned to become passionate and find interest in just about everything - I focus on figuring out what is cool or interesting about the things in front of me.

And I also learned to delegate as much as possible, especially on the things that do not interest me.

If you want I’d be happy to elaborate more in a direct call..
I don't mind politicians taking expert advice (in fact I am very in favour). But it is elected leaders, not just "specialists" who have to have final say on our laws. I think we agree about that right? The SEC must obey congress, not the other way around.
