So what, there is ios and ios China. You are using the former. Would a separate Signal China invalidate the whole protocol?

Sure, on a local moral compass it is no good look, but if Chinese people are forced by their governments into that -- is really a private company from another country supposed to fight with them over it? In any other case I think you would agree that private companies should STFU about local laws, right? That fight is on the Chinese people.
You're not wrong, but I don't really see the problem? Even well before async Rust, closures worked the same way with not being able to specify a concrete type, and `impl Trait` syntax didn't even exist for a while. Annotating local variable types is a way to fix certain things that would otherwise be ambiguous; it's a means to an end, only an end itself.

Unfortunately nothing beyond the example apps. We wanted to get an example with a full agentic loop together, but settled for the simpler chatbot.

We'd love suggestions here, actually. Can you think of a use-case that might be a good example to open-source? Preferably something that interacts with multiple APIs towards a specific purpose?
Fair enough, that would be nice. However, it sounds like a very hard thing to build in practice. I'd expect, actually, it's best done in Lean itself. So you're proposing a CAS written in Lean, which noone is currently working on.
Nope, coming soon. Was a disappointment for my kid after I told her there were more songs.

Whilst the first movement is fairly technically straightforward, the last movement is pretty tricky and requires solid technique; I certainly wouldn’t characterise it as “easy” even if it’s not the hardest piece in the repertoire.

If anything, the issue is that as a whole, the piece is fairly technically demanding, but the first movement is simply enough for most intermediate pianists to sight-read, so something that seems approachable soon becomes impossible for anyone below a certain level.

The military has had communication satellites since the late 1950s. The military's use case is different enough from civilian applications that they build their own systems which have very different properties from starlink.

I think the big thing that happened in the last few years is containerized utility battery systems are now a win purely based on balance sheet accounting.

The logistics are really good. You can manufacture them in a factory. Ship them as a normal container. Drop them where they can be conveniently connected to the grid. And that's it.

Hmmm. I'm not sure if the anime-girls are AI. I'd need a more careful look than what's available through the article, but I can recognize them as the characters from Konosuba and from One Piece. Possibly fanart, though I know that AI-generators have gotten better at drawing copyrighted characters, the costumes don't have any obvious errors to me. A bit sex'd up, but fan-artists have a habit of sexing-up characters.

I do feel like a lot of the "art" was just redrawing various female anime characters in classic American Pinup poses though.

--------------

To the AI-generator crowd: do you think if I typed in "Megumin Konosuba" (and maybe a few other keywords) into a Llama prompt / Stable Diffusion and run a few thousand cycles or something, that I'd get an image like those "Mojoly Limited" examples?

The easy tells were hands, at least a few months ago. These hands weren't hidden though, they're front-and-center. So have the AI-drawing apps improved upon anatomy that the "hands" problem is solved now?

Or is this a situation where you'd still need an artist to fix the shadows / hands / a few details? Like the majority of the image looks fine, but still needs an artist to fix the known AI errors (but you still grossly speed up in the creation of such images?)

-----------

I don't think any of the girls there look real to my eyes in any case. But its still an impressive feat if AI has gotten this good at drawing.

Sex'd up characters (especially characters that are wearing costumes the target-audience is familiar with) is an age old technique for advertisements in any case. That's why the old "Makes a Porno" movie was that "Star Whores" joke, and why it works.

I'm not particularly worried about the widespread use of "sex advertisements" (even if they are AI drawn / generated), though it does seem unfair to allow AI / chatbot sexual imagery while banning real life ones. But on the other hand, I recognize them as cartoons and fake drawings, while a real-life sexual advertisement probably would be far more shocking to me, personally at least.

Just thinking out loud here. Again: sexual imagery sells, and always has sold advertisements. The only difference here is the (potential) use of AI to lower costs.
I mean. We will see.

Many of the issues should never have happened. On launch day I remember people commenting within seconds of ignition that there was obvious large debris flying everywhere.

The investigation would never have had to happen with better controls and not outright lying on their reports.

Gimlet Media’s Story Was Always Going to End Like This
> In my mind that's the main thing a TPM is really useful for.

Unfortunately, it's not much good for that either.

A yubikey has a button to confirm the user's presence - so even if a remote attacker has completely compromised the machine, because they can't press the button, they can't get anything out of the key.

The TPM has no button, so it has to rely on the OS to keep your pin safe from keyloggers. If your OS is that trustworthy, you might as well just store your secrets in the OS keyring.

The TPM is also about 50x more complicated than a yubikey, to support things like multi-user systems. This means there's a much bigger attack surface.

Tired truckers is a conversation that comes up in the US somewhat regularly. And some states are imposing more serious regulations. But I don't think we are seeing it enough as a cause of accidents to treat it like a crisis. As other commenters have pointed out, for long-haul trucking in the US (and other rural areas) you are mostly dealing with highway driving on pretty desolate routes. Mile for mile truckers in the US are still some of the safest drivers.

I think Alaska just stretches this to the extreme given the unique experiences. Just having truckers pull off to the side of the road in Tundra 300 miles away from services is probably a MUCH bigger safety liability than long hours.
Just leave this guy to do his thing. I get the idea of stopping someone who is doing something unsafe in a manner that can harm other people. Really this guy isn't going to harm anyone else if he fails. Just leave people to do their things.
> It seems like most of the US has this problem.

The US still benefits from latent good marketing/rep in the 80s/90s, and projection of military power in decades past. For example, until relatively recently (the Trump era and especially how it ended disillusioned many), South Koreans still looked to the US as their model of the developed world. If you'd send your children anywhere to get educated or marry, it would be there. Inner benchmarks were done against the US. The rose-tinted glasses were enough to convince many to move without checking too carefully what the place they'd be moving to would actually be like.

This is changing, and more recently more attention is being paid to Europe, partially because the national conversation has shifted more toward quality of life, birthrate problems, aging population, etc. and there's more interest in social systems, healthcare, family planning support and so on.

Still, Koreans have a lot of memes about this or that place in Europe being racist in this or that way (and of course, quite lot of it is true), so it remains a big impediment.

I thought Widevine on computers (whether Windows, macOS or Linux) is always L3, i.e. software only, and L1 needs a TEE on Android or an embedded OS such as on a set top box or streaming dongle.

On your github release page [1], there are both "bun-darwin-x64.zip" and "bun-darwin-x64-baseline.zip". What is the difference between them? Why the "aarch64" binaries don't have the baseline versions?

In addition, your "bun-linux-x64.zip" doesn't work on CentOS7 due to glibc compatibility. Would be good to provide a more portable binary.

Initially they seemed to aim to make Starbase a primary launch site on par with KSC. However, since the bureaucracy has been proving to be ridiculous (as is the case with most American megaprojects these days), they appear to have shifted towards treating it as the R&D location with KSC being the primary site for operational launches.
I’m sure it will, in much the same way opiates relieve the suffering of those with chronic pain.
It will increase it. Porn is cheap gratification without deeper emotional connection. I don't think that people can grow without being challenged by others and AI cannot be programmed to challenge us.
Sure I agree. But there has to be some distinction between annoying but more or less harmless ads, like magazine ads and bus stop ads, and annoying ads, like the ones that might end up under your car wipers, in your bicycle basket, or mail box --- and internet spyware ads, that spy on you and sell your privacy to whoever got a dime.
Hopefully the turnaround is quick.

Starship is literally sitting on the pad waiting for the bureaucrats to give the okay to launch.

Presumably they have already addressed all the concerns in the doc that the article is talking about.

> I think that many criticisms of it is just nitpicky and doesn’t help anyone

This is true, but many criticisms are valid. Apple News is user-tracking adware that cannot be uninstalled on MacOS. You cannot install an app on any of the iDevices without telling Apple. You cannot get your GPS location on an iDevice without telling Apple. Apple is spending considerable resources growing their ad business, so expect this to grow worse over time; and combined with Apple's inclination to deny user control, there is no way to opt out without opting out entirely of iDevices.

That's actually why the amateur requirement was dropped.

The Soviet Union and other government-controlled-economy nations were sending essentially professional athletes to the Olympics while free-economy nations were sending amateurs. Removing the restriction allowed all nations to send their best athletes.

Ironically of course, there are some aristocratic motivations for why "amateur" was desirable in the first place that don't really align to modern sensibilities, but that's separate.

As someone else said, it is not, strictly speaking, a bug. If your server receives a request that requires very computationally expensive work, is it okay to delay every other request on that core? That's probably not okay, and it'll show in your latency distribution.

Folks would rather have every future time sliced so that other tasks get some CPU time in a ~fair way (after all, there is no concept of task priority in most runtime).

But you're right: it isn't required, and you could sprinkle every loop of your code with yielding statements. But knowing when to yield is impossible for a future. If nothing else is running, it shouldn't yield. If many things are running but the problem space of the future is small, it probably shouldn't yield either, etc.

You simply do not have the necessary information in your future to make an informed decision. You need some global entity to keep track of everything and either yield for you or tell you when you should yield. Tokio does the former, Glommio does the latter.

It gets even more complex when you add IO into the mix because you need to submit IO requests in a way that saturates the network/nvme drives/whatever. So if a future submits an IO request, it's probably advantageous to yield immediately afterward so that other futures may do so as well. That's how you maximize throughput. But as I said, that's a very hard problem to solve.
This has been repeatedly peddled by ignorant folk who don't care about spaceflight beyond adding in unnecessary snark but it should be obvious to anyone who paid attention that it was sheer coincidence.
They have access to GPS which is us military. I believe the commenter was suggesting that providing this access in the way GPS is provided would be a passive way to support countries like Ukraine.

This is again a situation where we think we're entitled to a service because we paid for it and that's how capitalism is supposed to work. Unfortunately the service fee doesn't give you power over the whims of the business or it's owner to withhold service from anyone anytime for any reason. This is what the over-long eula boils down to. A legal exemption from fulfilling the basic obligation of a capitalist exchange.
Thanks! I had no idea Apple worked with Best Buy. Much appreciated.

Not for me, but my eldest picked up procreate recently and was immediately able to create all sorts of amazing things. She’s even been able to create some great animations, but this makes procreate look like a toy in that regard.

That's the normal way a privacy policy is worded. They start by describing the data they get from you, then they describe how that data is used. Obviously you're sending your prompts to them, so they note that and how they'll refer to that data in the rest of their terms.

The thing to pay attention to is how they describe the uses and sharing of that data. And yeah, those sections are super-broad amounting to "we can use all of your personal data however we want" (including "improve our Service" and a super wide "for other purposes").

It's made clear from the policy which I took the liberty to quote here that Apple News tracks your interests and uses it to personalize ads not only inside the same app but also Apple's App Store. Same policy states that whether you are logged in on the app or not, you will still receive ads.

They claim they do not share this data with other third parties but they sure as hell use it for their own advertising ecosystem.

I was just talking to a colleague about the need for a service like this. Their pricing is much cheaper than self-hosting on AWS (ml.g5.48xlarge, needed to run 70B Lamma2, is $20.36/hr). But the TOS makes it completely unviable.

If someone can figure out how to standup self-hostable, fine-tuneable models with a serverless architecture, it could be a game changer (allowing devs to use something other than OpenAI/Claude).
> But markets are downstream from hierarchy.

Nope, the bazaar does not need the cathedral. Example: "Silent Trade"

Group A would leave trade goods in a prominent position and signal, by gong, fire, or drum for example, that they had left goods. Group B would then arrive at the spot, examine the goods and deposit their trade goods or money that they wanted to exchange and withdraw. Group A would then return and either accept the trade by taking the goods from Group B or withdraw again leaving Group B to add to or change out items to create an equal value. The trade ends when Group A accepts Group B's offer and removes the offered goods leaving Group B to remove the original goods.

While WSL might be "slow" relative to linux, emacs with lots of plugins is exponentially slower under standard windows. Also since emacs launches lots of processes and accesses a lot of files the windows virus scanners, including microsoft, slow things down a lot more.

Note: iPads only support USB-C displays that operate in "DisplayPort over USBC" mode, not "HDMI over USBC" mode (which requires more active circuitry), so only some USBC monitors will work. If you're worried, I suggest grabbing a DisplayPort-to-USBC dongle and plug it into the iPad that way.

Show HN: Fs-dir-cache – easy and correct CLI file system based caching
I couldn't find any standalone CLI tool like that (there were some libraries for some languages), so I wrote it.

It's in Rust, and it was written to speed up larger Rust project CI, on a self-hosted github action runner (where the target directories can be persisted across builds).

If it's unclear from the README: it will take care of all the details (allocate, lock, unlock, garbage collect) of handling directories ("values" in the cache), by deriving each directory name ("key") from some files/strings (e.g. Cargo.lock or package.lock).

In my use-case: we give up perfect isolation of CI jobs (starting from scratch every time), and instead store and re-use build artifacts. Huge performance gains (most CI runs are now tiny incremental builds) for some extra storage and a small concession.
For the typical user, losing their data is a greater risk than someone with physical control over their machine being able to access it. The logic board in your computer fails or you forget your password and all your data is gone.

And the default way of mitigating it is an even worse security risk. Now all your data is on some cloud somewhere, waiting for that vendor to get breached or your account to get phished which is now possible without physical control over your device. Plus, if you couldn't get into your computer because you lost access to your account, you also lost access to the data in the cloud.

Whereas if you really do have sensitive data, you still don't need a TPM and get better security without one. You keep a Yubikey in your pocket or memorize a strong passphrase and then the key physically isn't stored on your device.
