I don't own any crypto [outside of very small curiosity amounts when I was playing with it to figure out how it works years ago] nor do I consider myself a 'crypto person' (only, perhaps, compared to the backdrop of extreme HN negativity around the topic). I just think that people saying 'regulations are perfectly clear' on this issue have not spent that much time dealing with regulators in emerging technology.

> Just normal for government officials to cover their own asses primarily

I agree - I just disagree with people suggesting that the same logic doesn't apply to regulators and their actions.

They want to keep it unclear precisely so they have the ability to maneuver in the future and regulate if they want. That is the exact opposite of the 'super clear' regulations & guidance that GP was suggesting currently exists.
It's not really about the money. It's about the manipulation.
The radio spectrum is for everyone but needs to be regulated to minimize interference. Some talk about spread spectrum allowing everyone to share, but that requires regulations about the spread spectrum protocol and not jamming frequency with music.

The government divides up the spectrum for government, commercial, amateur, and public use. Amateur is not public use since it limits what can be done with it, like not playing music. It is more like public university. Ham radio has stagnated because it mostly uses analog or old digital modes for chatting and making contacts.

The VHF/UHF amateur bands wouldn't be that useful. They are too small for mobile data or Wifi. For unlicensed use, the power would have to low to prevent interference because they go to the horizon. It could be used the same as 433MHz and 900MHz but I don't think that those are overloaded like 2.4GHz. For commercial use, they could be turned into business walkie-talkies; I don't know if there is demand for those but would be pretty low value usage.

The one thing that they might be useful for is digital FRS, there is need for more public walkie-talkie frequencies. But that would have to be highly regulated in terms of protocol. And could turn into CB radio, making it useless for regular communication unless there are rules about jamming with music.

The killer app of laptops is portability. That killer app was so damn powerful it worked even when laptops were called "luggables" because they were fifty pounds and you couldn't use them without a power outlet.

The original iPhone's killer app was an affordable data plan. At the time, data was stupid expense, priced almost as a velben good. But by 2007, AT&T launched a $60 unlimited data plan for their iPhones. Feature phones have been using the web since the turn of the millennium, but nobody could afford it. Nobody bought the smart phones that existed because nobody could afford it. The Motorola Sidekiq was an unattainable toy for most families, but that unlimited data plan suddenly made smart phones viable to most of the population.

For reference, that plan with unlimited data still had a limited number of calling minutes and texts per month!
I would love to see the evidence you have for the kickbacks claim.
A 2X price difference is certainly believable, but I was responding to the suggestion of a 10X price difference.
> This is war,

That pretty much sums up most online forums these days.

Most of one group: This disagrees with my views. I'm going to boycott it / ridicule it / or ask it to go elsewhere / some/all of the above.

Most of another: This disagrees with my views. THIS IS WAR, I will destroy it!

A few sensible people on all sides try to have a more mature debate, but are drowned out by the cacophony, mostly from those declaring war.
Used (decommissioned from equipment retirement from companies) server, upgraded by maxing out the RAM slots and using the cheapest available SSDs.

This is a pretty common practice for homelab enthusiasts, or so I hear.
I'm noticing a trend of utilizing mental gymnastics to frame what benefits them personally as altruistic. This occurs often with policy (like student loan forgiveness), but this is most obvious with tipping.

The staff are the ones who benefit from tipping the most. That's why the Starbucks union demanded it. Tipping does help businesses as well, but it's because of price discrimination rather than "panhandling". So long as you're a customer, they don't care either way. If you're happy to pay higher prices that get passed to employees, you should be happy to give that money to them directly. If you feel that tipping degrades your customer experience, that's a perfectly justifiable reason not to tip. Pretending that you're sticking it to corporations by not tipping just comes off as childish.
There were few. Most famously like Eleven Madison Park and many Danny Meyers restaurant in NYC for many years. But now they have reverted back to tipping. Seems its just not possible in US.
> Photoshop still can't open webp files,

Why is Adobe so bad at their job? GIMP added webp support about 5 years ago. Paint.NET added it 4 years ago.

> many websites still don't support uploading webp files.

4chan is the only such site I've heard of, and 4chan is notoriously bad at this sort of thing ever since they lost moot. It took them years to permit uploading of vp9/opus webms, for no good reason. 4chan's present administrators are incompetent, but 4chan is barely profitable (if at all) so that's not really unexpected.

But Adobe rakes in huge piles of cash, so what is Adobe's excuse?
I think I see the point - that people have very different beliefs and expectations about paid jobs versus volunteer work.

If I pay you just a little bit for something you were doing, it may not really register much because it isn't enough money to really do anything with besides buy a meal or a new toy here and there or something.

If I pay you enough for it to be considered a job, that brings in a whole bunch of new expectations on both sides. You may expect to be paid a fair wage compared to what you previously did, to have a good career path, to do something that looks good on a resume, to have a good work-life balance, etc. And they may expect a certain stable and reliable productivity level, advanced notice for any time off, etc.
This guy is damned good. I sponsored him on Github because his software is dope. I also like how when some controversy erupted on the project he just ejected the controversial people and moved on. Good stewardship. Great code.

I recall something like when he first ported it and it worked on my M1 Max he hadn't even yet tested it on Apple Silicon since he didn't have the hardware.

Honestly, with this and whisper, I am a huge fan. Good luck to him and the new company.
It's not... what? It's not "Apple's first spatial computer"? Did Apple have one before this? Did you even read the title before you typed out your crybaby "less space than a nomad" post lol
"Just asking questions" is the biggest red flag of ill intent, its not doubt I would ban someone for resorting to that. Especially if we look at the facts given in the comment.

" saying at the time we didn't yet know how many doses and on what schedule of the vaccine would be needed."

"I messaged the mods to explain that I was triple-vaxxed "

So we can infer from this post that this happened sometime after Aug 2021. So someone went into the Canada Coronavirus group, a group where posts seem to get tens of comments, and brought up completely innocently, "how we don't know how many doses" we need. To make a broader point on what... could it have been, "how we shouldn't have a mandate?"

Perhaps this was closer to Feb/2022 where the Trucker protest was raging across Canada. Of course, the mods may not want a big flamewar over mandates in their group that seems like a niche information aggregation sub.
The thing is, it really makes sense for it not to be on the front page.

You think climate change is the most important/urgent/relevant thing happening. I get it. I'm not even saying you're wrong. But this is Hacker News; it's not Climate Activism Central. Climate change, no matter how relevant, is not the central topic here.

An article on the world's oceans setting record temperatures for 80 continuous days is alarming. But it was alarming at 70 days, too, and at 60, and at 50. Is there any new discussion that's going to happen on the article about 80 days that didn't happen on the article about 50 days? That's why it shouldn't be on the front page - not because climate change isn't important, but because there's nothing new about the 80-day threshold. It's just the same old bad news. (In the same way, the invasion of Ukraine is bad, and important, but we don't mark the 430th day of the invasion, and then the 440th day, and then the 450th day.)
> These are all perfectly defensible positions in longtermism

What are you basing this on? They are only defensible if you have convincing arguments that they are indeed more beneficial than the alternative. Imagining that they might doesn't make them defensible.
"Completely up to the patron", ugh.

That's not how social interactions work. When you are right there in front of the person who will be receiving part of that tip, it is extremely socially awkward to do a low or no amount, even if in theory there was nothing to "tip". (No service, such as take-out)

The choice is right in front of you, and you chose the lowest amount. Is it because you're a jerk? Is it because you think people at (JOB) don't deserve a decent wage? Do you just hate less-wealthy people because you're a snob?

This is even worse if you obviously go out of you way to open another menu to choose a lower amount (going out of you way), and worse again if you are a regular at that business. (You're going to have to see this person again)

That's the kind of feeling I get when I'm facing a tip prompt. It's easier to suffer the monetary loss than the social pain. Even if it's just for a product and no service, even if the prompt amounts are ridiculous, even if it's for a massive multi-billion dollar company that should pay decent wages instead of laying it on me.

I hate it, it's awful, and I hope some day it changes. But I don't think it will. I feel like we're trapped in this now.
I believe ggml is the basis of llama.cpp (the OP says it's "used by llama.cpp")? I don't know much about either, but when I read the llama.cpp code to see how it was created so quickly, I got the sense that the original project was ggml, given the amount of pasted code I saw. It seemed like quite an impressive library.
So Hackintosh will still be a thing for at least 5-7 years! I might get a mac mini sooner..

> Apple does provide older macOS releases with around two years of additional security-only updates after replacing them, so people with Macs stuck on macOS 12 Monterey or macOS 13 Ventura should still get Safari updates and patches for the most severe security vulnerabilities after Sonoma is released.

You'll still get security updates for devices from 2013

It still is a shame tho, I wish they had an open source Core OS for older devices, so they'd still get some community driven development and security patches

> For productivity – I think video pass-through is essential. Which both this and the Aero lack.

Video pass-through is shown in their WM demo, so IDK what you mean.

> Tragically, the software stack for developed by Simula is not compatible with the Aero. Because the Simula Window Manager is linux native, and the Aero is Windows Native… (damn, I bought the wrong hardware.)

The WM is linux-native, but any x86 OS should be installable on the onboard computer. Also, it's supposed to have the option to be used without the onboard computer, using an external computer with SteamVR or OpenXR, both of which seem to support Windows. (Alas, Windows doesn't expose any API for WM development, AFAIK).
Disclaimer: I worked at WhatsApp until 2019. We built in resilience against DNS failing because there's a lot of networks in the world, and some of them don't have consistently working DNS. Turns out it also helps a lot when someone hijacks your domain account (grr), or DDoSes your DNS provider (on my birthday too, grr), or you mess up DNS somehow (nobody was willing to tell me what happened yesterday, grr). Doesn't help much with BGP based outages though.

The trick is if you bake IPs into your client packages, you need to have most or at least some of those IPs still working until the packages expire, and you need to have a process for server teams and client teams to update the lists for future releases as well as for server teams to know what's in the client builds in the wild. That's not too hard if you're running in bare metal hosting and your hosts are long lived. It's harder if you're running ephemeral cloud stuff (but there's ways to reserve IPs, so it's not _that_ hard).

There's some additional difficulty if you're only running ipv4 servers and some of your clients only have NAT64 access to ipv4. But, it's 2023, you can and probably should make ipv6 work on your servers.
> typically leaves a 10 to 15% gratuity

10% seems reasonable to me - but every tip screen I've seen in the past year or so _defaults_ to 25% and forces me to select a lower tip amount (and if I want to tip less than 18%, I have to select "custom tip" and type in a number - 10% is never one of the defaults).
It was probably recorded far before this controversy started
It's not really comparable.

SwiftData is the Swift version of Apple's CoreData, which is pretty much a database ORM.

It's a massive improvement on the old APIs that were written decades ago for Obj-C.

Hah. Protecting investors. What a bunch of croc. This was never about protecting investors. If it was they would have issues the guidance 5 years ago. This is about blowing up crypto in general by removing the on/off ramps (ie the exchanges).

Ok, and it says other apps do 2.5x times less than that.

There are very strong reasons: guy is trying to protect his business, he uses discounted imgur numbers as basis and doesn't mention standard plan numbers, so he is working hard to distort facts.

Probably for the same rationale they provided to exclude Python from examination:

> Python's type system: Dynamic languages like Python do local type checks to establish global safety properties. However, the type checks are not done purely on the program's source code before running it, but examine the actual runtime inputs as well.
I can agree with this sentiment. But god, this goes around the eyes. Calling anything with an I- is absurd, but this is so darn on point.
It’d be interesting to see a performance comparison of SwiftData vs. (objc?) CoreData vs. plain XML for large datasets. I recall plain XMLs being faster than CoreData a few years ago in certain scenarios.
[Edited for formatting]

When I find gaps, I have a tendency to build projects.

The lower the level of the project, the more low-level parts I find myself needing to explore.

A recent rabbit hole:

- I designed a template/scripting language.
- I wanted it to be a library (dynamically-linked, .so) for use by other programs, so I had to figure out how to do that. That took me down a rabbit hole of the problems of compiling against libraries not globally installed, the compiled program, and their respective paths relative to the compilation directory. In short, using Makefiles and compile targets into any directory other than the current directory causes problems.
- What about making the library globally-installable? That's the rabbit hole of how versions work in libraries and the symlinks required, as well as how Ubuntu locates libraries.
- How to responsibly install and uninstall libraries.
- How to make multiple libraries coexist from the same project.
- How to make the library compile flags integrate nicely (pkg-config)

My current rabbit hole: writing a HTTP/1.1/2/3 client/server library, which is necessitating a deep-dive into TLS communication and reading a bunch of RFCs.

I'm thinking that most low-level or implementation details would be a candidate for a deep dive. In CS, we have a tendency to focus on the abstractions and leave the implementation details to someone else. For example, most people understand zip files, but markedly fewer would be able to write a compression/decompression algorithm.

Other examples I can think of:

- File formats: jpg, png, gif, pdf, etc...
- Large project best practices (exceptions, memory management, source code file layout). Context: most students have only seen 1- or 2-file projects in a single directory, and have never worked on something that other people also need to work on.
- Native application development (not using QT, for example)
- Window/desktop managers
- Device drivers
- Date/time storage and representation (not just timezones and DST, but time massively in the past or future. Dates vs timestamps, etc.)

Probably not the direction that you are thinking, but I love this low-level stuff!

> I don't think there's a truly safe programming language.

This is correct, technically, but you can achieve really high assurances of safety. "safe" is not a binary, but a spectrum.

The rest of the comment is patently false. It's actually close to the opposite of reality. The stricter the type system, the smaller the risk of unexpected behavior. Very very smart people who "know how to manage memory" use C and introduce memory errors very often. It's actually only in small, ungeneralizable programs where weaker type systems don't matter.

I mean, I dunno about a clean conscience, but you don't need to worry that they won't get minimum wage. Depending on your tip amount, it's still a big change to effective hourly wage.

Reddit permanently bans account of user advocating Lemmy migration
I wonder: what if all the major third-party apps come together to form a reddit competitor? It doesn't have to be any kind of fancy decentralized mastodon type thing, just a straight up clone of reddit that users of existing reddit apps can seamlessly begin using, maybe even with a way to transfer your account name/posts/friends/subs/etc.

It seems to me like this would be the only way for these apps to survive long term, because even if reddit backpedals a bit on this fumbled policy change, it's clear that third party apps are doomed. New attempts to kill them will be more subtle.
In other words, work is literally killing us due to Sunday night syndrome and stress we are unaware of.

Ditto for tipping before you get in the cab. They could take you on a loop around the city, or drive you to a back alley and rape/rob you. You tip after you arrive.
