> For some time after Alice and Bob have both crossed, they can continue to communicate with one another

Yes.

> showing that they are not separated by a horizon.

No. They are separated by a horizon, but only for a short time--short enough that Bob crosses the horizon before seeing any light signals emitted upward by Alice after she has crossed the horizon.

> since Alice is ahead, won't she and Bob get separated more and more over time?

Yes.

> Isn't there a time after which Alice can't even get a message out to Bob?

Yes. If you draw a spacetime diagram of the hole with Alice's and Bob's worldlines on it (Kruskal coordinates work well for this), then at some point on Alice's worldline her future light cone will no longer include any portion of Bob's worldline; and once she passes that point, she can no longer send light signals to Bob (because he will hit the singularity before her signals can reach him). One can also make a similar argument for Bob.

> Can that not be characterized as an event horizon separating Alice and Bob, and one which is fundamentally distinct from the one separating Alice and Bob from Dana?

No.
cuBLAS or CLBlast? There is no such thing as cublast
> The title of an HN submission does not have to match the article's title.

Actually, it should other than a couple guides on tidying it up. From the guidelines:

> If the title includes the name of the site, please take it out, because the site name will be displayed after the link.

> If the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."

> Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.
Not really getting that the speed of light is a universal speed limit is simpler.

I want to believe. So I'll spend more time than is wise evaluating evidence. But, like, it's gotta be some really good evidence.
Doesn't Edge on Windows work like Chrome does on Android, with it providing an API that other apps can use to render webpages in something other than Trident?
There's a lot to reflect on here.
I spent some time with Swift-on-the-server last year and definitely felt like the class/struct difference made sense.

But I have to agree, from a novice eye at least, result builders look to be a feature added to support SwiftUI and limited other use cases. Have you seen many examples of third party libraries successfully using them?

And while we're here, do the introduction of macros in Swift 5.9 allow room for replacing result builders with something more uniformly useful?
Often the anchor to Microsoft Windows is legacy. Both in existing code and existing knowledge. Takes energy to diverge away from both.

Currently maintain applications because the former developer only knew C#. Also the tools used to configure devices are only Windows based. This dramatically harms quality of the product in the long run and support.

My experience with product is design. Use the solution the fits the problem not the solution you currently know and rely on.

You have to pay me to engage with Microsoft / Windows!
I imagine there will be some developers that try to have analytics fire when certain events happen, correlated with eye-hovering. Hopefully Apple will catch these tricks before they can go live. The potential value of knowing where someone's eyes are (whether they saw an advertisement, for example) could be very high, so I envision a cat-and-mouse game.
I don't think open sourceness is relevant here. If the business model of the product is ads, then the thing will eventually serve ads.

I'm also not arguing against LLMs in general if that was the vibe of the previous comment. Just claiming that Google and Microsoft found an excuse to include full screen ads instead of search results.
Not because he's allegedly fueled by the souls of aliens?
Obviously, those awarded PhDs fall on a spectrum of qualification with outliers at either end.
“Experience” is a common term in software experimentation. It’s a superset of ad, feature, image, etc. It very literally means anything that a user will experience. A broader version of feature flagging is experience management.
What more raw data would you like?
Gosh yes. Even for blind users, now they're doing this awful thing where even the File Explorer context menu (shift + F10) is this weird preview of "options most people will need" where at the bottom there's a "view more" thing which opens the actual context menu, where my 7Zip, Dropbox, open in terminal, and stuff are. Ugh can't wait until either Linux is accessible enough for non-programmers and advanced users, or MacOS VoiceOver can work well enough with the web to work with Google Docs and Salesforce. Windows 11 is not the most accessible version of Windows yet, Microsoft, and wasn't built from the ground up to be accessible. Just look at this Kaiju dung!

The speed of apps, lol. Yep, that's right. Move fast and break things.
> It should be strong if the effect is strong. We find strong signal in noisy data in all kinds of contexts

And we fail to find signal, or can find whatever "signal" we want to find in all kinds of other noisy data. What says any kind of useful info is here to find?

Ronald Reagan did, right? Commander in chief did, so for at least a time, they did?
It's also an assumption that the pilot of the craft is from the same species that manufactured it. Perhaps the technology was gifted to them by a superior civilization, or maybe they stole it, or maybe they're a genetically engineered descendant of an advanced species that died off millions of years ago without recalling its probes with their hibernating pilots.
About a year ago, Swift on linux was a bit of a minefield. Only parts of Foundation were implemented, and you couldn't use the Linux toolkit on a Mac to cross-compile or even just link against the Linux version of Foundation. The recentish move to reimplement Foundation in Swift natively is a big win, and I haven't tracked how close that project is.
The looks-over-function school of design thought Apple is famous for
I think the inability of an outsider to detect an event is precisely what it means to say "from the point of view of sn outsider, this event never happens".

What happens but can never be observed, may aswell never happen from the p.o.v. of the observer. It has no consequences to say it does, or does not, happen (for if it did, those consequences would make it observable).
Used to be "the feature was removed from production".

New English mod where one says "need to action this" I guess leads to "flighting"... because reasons.
Google didn't get sued because of a single method signature, they got sued because they copied the function signatures of an entire language's standard library completely.

that's a very different thing than copying a method signature here or there, and the suit was about the collection as a whole and would not have made it into a courtroom if it were just a few method signatures.
It can't be as bad as the 90s sega vr, where executives walked out after testing it and then buried the entire project.
> Even publishing data that can go against the doomer majority is career suicide.

Can you provide the best example of this that you know of?

Well gathered and published raw instrumentation data that resulted in career degradation.
Yeah, I agree. Theoretically you can make those syllogisms sound if you also explicitly list the assumptions you are assuming to be true. Then when a scenario like his describe scenario happens, you can point to which of those assumptions turned out to be false.
Now, hear me out... maybe the generation ship is the Moon...

>Bing has become annoying about putting ads before real results, and often hiding the real results. Bing image search is awful about this

Comparing bing to google:

- Google has a number of "sponsored" results at the top of search results, which look identical to the actual search results, other than having a "sponsored".

- Searching for chrome on bing.com produces an Edge advert (the one you mention) at the top, but it has a grey background and is obviously not a search result.

- Searching for anything else (e.g. "online tutor") on bing does produce ads above the search results, similar to google, which look identical to search results, with the word "Ad" in front.

So, from what I can tell, Microsoft isn't really any worse than Google.
But that’s part of the problem.

Everyone who is interested in games (like me) gave up on gaming on the Mac a long time ago because of the other issues.
If you get into the history of the late 19th century through the mid 20th century there is a pretty clear thread you can draw through:

- industrialization

- racial theories about immigrants

- birth control

- the birth of compulsory education (i.e. you must send your children to school to be “Americanized” or the police will arrest you)

- eugenics

- wealthy industrialists trying to consolidate their hold on power politically and economically through developing ways to control “the lower classes” through the “scientific management” of society.

Much of this involved domestic propaganda campaigns beginning in the early 20th century that the instigators were very open about at the time. Many prominent figures were also very explicit about using compulsory education as a tool to form a stratified society that would prevent “the poor” from being a threat to the utopian and “racially pure” world they wanted to build.

For example in 1901 Edward Ross published his book "Social Control" in which he states:

“Plans are underway to replace community, family, and church with propaganda, education, and mass media.. ..the State shakes loose from Church, reaches out to School.... People are only little plastic lumps of human dough.”

Or in 1919 Arthur Calhoun published his "Social History of the Family" in which he describes how the child was passing from its family "into the custody of community experts." He also predicted that in time we could expect to see public education "designed to check the mating of the unfit."

Where did the idea of eugenics come from? What other ideas were popular at the time that made it appealing to so many people?

From what I’ve studied about the time period, all this stuff, including eugenics and birth control, came from a literally racist and fairly deranged view of the world. They are all symptoms of the same mindset.

Large families are a powerful safety net for its members. When those families break down what happens? You have isolated and economically vulnerable individuals that are much easier to exploit and manipulate.

I understand that a random person on the internet probably isn’t going to change your mind about the Catholic church for many potential reasons.

That being said, I would argue that the Catholic church safeguards literally the only rationally consistent and ethically sound perspective of reality that we have.

There are teachings of the Church that are difficult to follow but, for the most part, that is because our modern world has organized itself around hedonism instead of loving God, serving God, and cultivating virtue.

As most people understood for thousands of years: cultivating virtue is actually the only path to the true freedom in life most people are looking for. Without pursuit of virtue the only alternative is to grow in slavery to a variety of hedonistic appetites.

To paraphrase St. Augustine:

The virtuous man is free even if he is a slave, the unvirtuous man is a slave even if he is a king.
My 12400F boosts to 5GHz for the majority of each day. It's literally normal for me. I've gotten it to almost 5.3GHz before, but it's not really stable above 5.2GHz.
They've been using that for a long time to refer to bugs users have. "Oh I'm sorry about your experience with our product." Stuff like that.
> build on top of a unnecessary complicated foundation

Is there a hidden assumption in "unnecessary"? None of the tech unfolded in a deliberate, methodical manner. It was random people doing various things over time and a plethora of details.

To assume that the aggregate would have a tidy structure seems unrealistic.
I'm interested in this as well and have been exploring similarly. Would be super interesting to chat if you're up for it as well. Sending you an email to say hello.
At $8/user/month (while I realize that still likely be pocket change to Apple)... how much is that and what is the risk that the company changes the licensing once you're using it?

Large companies (Apple, Amazon, and the like) would likely buy the company rather than license their product (see Dark Sky (now WeatherKit), Kiva (now Amazon Robotics - https://www.fromscratchradio.org/show/mick-mountz 23:22 )) so that they can't lose control over something that they want when management for one of there tools changes.

And so why use mold (license problems and they wouldn't want to impose the AGPL on all their developers), or be a reseller of sold ($8/month/user - how many developers are in the Apple developer program) - it comes down to "it is better for us to develop our own and release it so that there is certainty about the license for any developers who use it."
ggml is a library that provides operations for running machine learning models

llama.cpp is a project that uses ggml to run LLaMA, a large language model (like GPT) by Meta

whisper.cpp is a project that uses ggml to run Whisper, a speech recognition model by OpenAI

ggml's distinguishing feature is efficient operation on CPU. Traditionally, this sort of work is done on GPU, but GPUs with large amounts of memory are specialized and extremely expensive hardware. ggml achieves acceptable speed on commodity hardware.

It's been happening for some time before then.
Ask HN: What is our community doing about the subscription software epidemic?
It seems every week on here there is a thread lamenting how users are forced into subscription software services with no attempt at a solution. Inspired by the recent Reddit protest, is there something we can do to combat this? Perhaps a mass unsubscribe day? Happy to organize it if there's interest or contribute to any efforts already ongoing in this space.

Huh. I'll read again and closer. I still think it may very well be wrong hah. This is a funny feeling when examining a ChatGPT response closely...you don't know if it's futile because it really just wrong or if there's more there. Maybe I'll continue the conversation with it to tease this out some more. Glad you shared the chat.
Stop moving the goalposts. You support the redistribution of consequences and I do not. Simple as that. You do not have the right to other people’s money, the same way you don’t have the right to ban communication privacy, even if it were effective at stopping Russians or whatever other poor excuse you use to justify reaching into the wallets of others.

The hypothesis that we are surrounded by an event horizon? That's not a hypothesis, it's a logical conclusion. The observable universe has a boundary beyond which the expansion of space is faster than the speed of light; therefore light cannot reach us, which is the (loose) definition of an event horizon.
This is CIA psyop to distract and hid in this noise, actual news, that it is been exactly 10 years since whistleblower former intelligence Edward Snowden told world the truth about CIA and U.S. government.

Hopefully you can just set one eye as dominant. I as well have one good eye, so just using that one for tracking should be fine.
Using controllers isn't about accuracy, it's about occlusion and haptics.

Using only gestures means no haptic feedback and it gets de-synced as soon as the camera can't see what you're doing.

Take Apples gestures for example (e.g. tap your thumb and index finger together to click). As soon as your hand is rotated in such a way that your own fingers are hidden from the camera, you actions stop being applied. This will also happen should one hand cross the other, or resting your arms down while standing, or reaching up for something, or even resting on a couch with your knee up.
Even merely knowing (conclusively) that aliens with advanced technology exist would provide enormous information, cf https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Filter.

This is covered fictionally in Cixin’s The Three Body Problem: When Eart learns the existence of Trisolarians tremendous social and technical changes occur.
Sure, if the hardware worked or was supported by any other OS or if Apple actually made running these devices in those ways reasonable.
In some sense, the ground is accelerating towards you. By jumping out of the plane, you've stopped the plane floor from accelrating you away from the ground at the same rate the ground is accelerating towards you.

This is barely useful for humans since we are very used to 'standing still' actually involving the force of your weight, so we consider that distinct from acceleration. But physics gets much easier if you don't make that distinction.
Reminds me of some descriptions of Bell’s Plan 9.
Unprincipled, vile cowards. Tripling down on an unwinnable, unjust war because they're afraid of what repercussions their country may face for starting it if they concede. So easy to call for war when it's not your hand pulling the trigger and killing Ukrainian citizens. Acceptable for them to die in the abstract I suppose!

Like I said, freedom is scary. Can't hardly count the number of people who say they are all about free expression, until it is something they don't like.

Factor all those dislikes in, and call those people selfish and if we were to actually entertain that (badly) broken reasoning, the resulting set of permissible expression would likely be more constrained than it currently is in regions of the world controlled by fundemental religious theocrats.

And the vast majority of those people would easily say the people living under fundamentalism deserve better!

That's bat shit. Full on, hot, fresh bat shit cray, cray.

I get it. You just don't like the art. Join the club. We all see stuff every day we don't like. And someone here mentioned the cool Flintstone house in California. That is totally relevant!

You see, people, who appear to align well with the opinion you have put here, have tried repeatedly to have it taken down. And their reason was the same as the one you are putting here; namely, they just don't like it and somehow that must mean the world needs to respond and GET RID OF THAT SHIT because?

[ insert it here ]

And they failed.

As they should!

We have a First Amendment for good reason.

This discussion is the reason.

Heck, you basically said crime for hire was an acceptable response! Good grief!

And then you try and call selfish somehow? You flat out lost me.

Seems like a botch to me, like the kind of botch others point to and proclaim their basic joy that they were not the one who botched it that badly.

No Joke!
At 1:31:50 in the Keynote video they mention “Bluetooth accessories like Magic Trackpad and Magic Keyboard” and show those on a table and a person typing on the keyboard. I don’t believe the cursor of the trackpad is shown (but I’m on my phone and my eyes aren’t as good as they used to be!). I bet it’ll work like on iPadOS.

There are a LOT of WWDC sessions on visionOS; hopefully it’s shown off in one of them. EDIT: Trackpad usage shown here https://developer.apple.com/wwdc23/10076?time=914

A good point. Although it could just be a probe. It could have been programmed to crash land on Earth. Much like we send probes to planets in our solar system.

That this is a possibility doesn't make it a likely one, however. But just pointing out that there's possible explanations that counter this thinking.

It’s because you only get published and therefore funded if you can make a claim that generates power. Money and influence will and does flow to things that will require change. The more dramatic the better.

No one is going to fund research that concludes things will be ok. That’s a snooze fest. Only things that suggest we “DO SOMETHING”, which means justify power, get the attention from the people that want to continue justifying power.

It’s why everything is a “crisis” today. There’s limited funding and finite seats at the table and you better believe the ideas that are “urgent” are the ones that will get funded. It’s not a coincidence these ideas also generate power.
