If you want to make an argument make one. "Some people like it" isn't a strong one but if that's all you got I guess.

"We're not going to" presupposed the outcome. I don't agree and won't contend it, since you're not willing to say anything that can be refuted. I'm not the author of the future I can't say what we're gonna. But then neither are you.
Sir, your dog can talk!

Yes, but not very well.
I don't want anything more, quite the opposite. I think the yearly release cycle is nonsense given the lack of returns.
Nation states (like KSA) will likely pay very large sums of money to use this against their perceived enemies abroad. A small and exclusive clientele is how a company like this stays out of the lime light.
Whether it will extend is unknown. That a phone even drives an external monitor is, alas, a remarkable feature, these days.
I upgraded from the Xs to the 14 Pro. The camera is superb (as an amateur photo guy), the display is better, I like the always on screen, performance is snappier, RAM is bigger so apps don't close as often, and it's sturdier. Fell down and instead of breaking somewhere it made a dent in the asphalt.
That's true, but I think if your production web server is running on a system that you expect to have other users log into and do things on while having the Unix permissions prevent them from interfering with the production server, then your whole architecture and process is deeply broken far beyond the ability of any Caddy design decisions to address.
Yes, that was the point I was trying to make. Why would should users complain about a spec-sheet item that they don't use.
What does DNA evidence from radiocarbon dating even mean? The two things have nothing to do with one another and the guy seems to have a reputation as a charlatan. It’s just weird that the guy can’t pull off reasonable science based hoodwinking, he’s so pathetic he can’t even pull off something a zoomer with a tiktok education could pull off.
The non-reaction to the invasion of Crimea and Donbas in 2014, the non-reaction to breaking numerous "red lines" in Syria or our (=German) continued support for Nord Stream is evidence enough.
> tasks that need deterministic outputs and the thing you need to create is already known statically

Wow, interesting. Do you have any example for this?

I've realized that LLMs are fairly good at string processing tasks that a really complex regex might also do, so I can see the point in those.
Back in the 1980s, when it was still the business language. I don't have enough nostalgia in me to even glance at it now, unless a big paycheck accompanies it.
OTOH you can factorise and modularise an emacs config file. Sometimes an XML file if it uses xinclude (though that can be an issue in other ways).

The ACME Gap: Introducing Anchor
No, it's not clear what happened from just the transfer speeds.

It becomes clear when you see that first party cables that enable hight transfer speeds are sold at 79, 149, and 179 bucks for the 1m, 1.8m, and 3m respectively [1]. So, in essence, they purposely did just enough to comply with EU regulations while still aiming at milking customers' wallets with crazy expensive accessories that you would take for granted from top or premium tier smartphones.

There is no separate USB3 host controller on the M1, it has a dual-role device USB 3.1 controller which supports up to 10 Gb/s and can act both in host and device modes.

The 40 Gb/s speed on the iPad Pro comes from the Thunderbolt controller, which is completely unrelated to USB and disabled in software on the 5th gen iPad Air for market segmentation.

The 4th gen iPad Air and 6th gen iPad Mini use a USB 2.0 dual-role device controller integrated into the SoC, which is limited to 480 Mb/s, and a USB 3.0 controller connected over PCIe, which supports up to 5 Gb/s.

The PCIe USB controller isn't included on the 10th gen iPad.
It doesn't support device mode, which explains the USB 2.0 speeds when connected to a computer.

The article is talking about the size and weight of vehicles.

In this context, there is effectively no distinction between a modern minivan and a modern SUV.

1995 Honda Civic - curb weight of 2100 pounds.

2000 Ford Focus - curb weight of 2500 pounds.

2023 Toyota Corolla - curb weight of 3000-3100 pounds (depending on trim level).

2023 Toyota Sienna ("minivan") - curb weight of 4600-4700 pounds.

2023 Toyota Highlander (SUV) - curb weight of 4300-4500 pounds.

2023 Honda Odyssey ("minivan") - curb weight of 4500-4600 pounds.

2023 Honda Passport (SUV) - curb weight of 4200-4300 pounds.

2023 Honda Pilot (SUV) - curb weight of 4000-4700 pounds.

Anyway, the minivan is slightly heavier than the equivalent SUV - but close enough to not really matter.
Not sure why you (or anyone else) needs to wait a full month to sync. Seems like a potential failure, since you could lose as much as a months worth of photos.

OwnCloud or any of the other automatic, fully local syncing apps do this just fine daily. Then you sync photos/videos every time you're on your local network.
Apparently one of his claims was that he could see the whole war unfold via a map starlink terminal locations. Which is highly disturbing considering he also admitting to speaking with Putin.
Yes, and I should write bug-free code, and doctors should never make mistakes. If you have any examples of a completely neutral news outlet that never made any blunders, I'd be very interested to know about and follow them. Until then, I see no point in comparing anyone against an unattainable ideal which can only exist in one's imagination. I try to correct for their biases by reading Kremlin propaganda (and US, and Chinese, and some others) and comparing what they are saying. Know of any better ways?
> (like eg the British NHS does, modulo the option to go to a private hospital for enough money)

IME it's more complicated than that.

Firstly, the NHS allows consultants to do private work, making use of NHS resources, including beds, radiography and theatres. Secondly, a consultant can refer you back to the NHS for treatment, effectively "jumping the queue".

I would never rely on a private hospital. They never have an emergency department, and emergencies happen in hospitals too. Many private hospitals can only treat certain types of case; I wouldn't want to be stuck in a hospital that couldn't treat anything that happened to me.
60Hz display on a premium phone in 2023 is a crime
Exactly. The really screwy thing with it is the naming scheme. SE 2016, 2020, and 2022. But I love still having a physical button on it. The battery life is better with the 2022, but still not anything compared to the regular iPhone or most flagship phones.
What would signal life on another planet?
It's not ignorant. It is a known problem. Before LLMs, approaches to machine translation or any high level language tasks did start with a pipeline (part of speech tagging, dependency tree parsing, named entity recognition etc.) but quickly these attempts were discarded.

All of the models in the pipeline are not optimized with the joint loss (the final machine translation model that maps lang A to lang B does not propagate its error to the low level models in the pipeline).

A pipeline of LLMs will accumulate the error in the same way, eventually the same underlying problem of pipeline not being trained with the joint loss will result in low accuracy.

LLMs or DNNs in general do more compute, so they start being extremely powerful even when sequenced. Making a sequence of decisions with a regular ML model has a similar problem to pipelining, if you train it on single decision loss and not the sequence of decisions loss, then there's a question of can it recover and make a right next step if it made the wrong step (your training data never included this recovery example), but convolutional NNs were so powerful for language tasks that this recovery from error was successful (even though you never trained CNNs over the joint loss of sequence of decision).
In EU law all payments get pretty much the same protections as USA credit card payments, even for debit cards the customer is legally out at most 50 EUR, so there is no advantage in it being a credit card.

The motivation of Chip&PIN in EU is driven by the fact that banks are forced to cover most of the fraud costs (as opposed to USA, where much of stolen card fraud is forced upon merchants), so they have a motivation to actually prevent it; and the inconvenience of PIN is mitigated by highly prevalent contactless (and PIN-less) chip payments for small transactions.
I think apple made it basically a non-issue with how they implement iCloud and it's hard to justify buying higher capacity phones. I'm one of those weirdos who like to keep all the pictures I take on my phone locally and not in the cloud so my personal phone is 512GB and I kinda regret not buying the 1TB option, but that must be super rare among the user base.
Maybe Apple has decided to take on the prepaid burner phone market. Most of those seem to only be USBC 2.0
>what I see my data science friends doing — it's hard to justify the cost (money and latency) in using LLMs directly for all tasks, and even if you want to you'll need a baseline model to compare against, so why not use LLMs for dataset creation or augmentation in order to train a classic supervised model?

The NLP infrastructure and pipelines we have today aren't there because they are necessarily the best way to handle the tasks you want. They're in place because computers simply could not understand text the way we would like and shortcuts, approximations were necessary.

Borrowing from the blog, Since you could not simply ask the computer, "How many paragraphs in this review say something bad about the acting? Which actors do they frequently mention?", separate processes of something like tagging names, linking them to a knowledge base, and paragraph-level actor sentiment etc were needed.

The approximations are cool and they do work rather well for some use cases but they fall apart in many others.

This is why automated resume filtering, moderation etc is still awful with the old techniques. You simply can't do what is suggested above and get the same utility.
This is clearly anti-consumer and hopefully the EU holds them accountable for this.
I disagree. Apple is the only site that gives realistic numbers rather than theoretical maxes.

Independent benchmarks are good, but Apple keeps everything very focused on what an average person buying it would experience, even benchmarks.

The problem with doubling the speed of the small hand is that it would subtly imply that unix time will wrap around to 0, Jan 1st 1970, which is a common misconception and of course not true - it wraps to somewhere in 1901.

I've considered annotating the left side of the dial with the negative numbers also, e.g. ff (-01), etc., which would make it clearer that there's a discontinuity at 80, but it's also a lot of visual mess and on balance I prefer the cleaner look.

I hope that anyone wondering "why 0x80" will be curious enough to go read the linked wikipedia article, which goes into much more detail.
I have a 2009 with NetBSD 9.3 and recently got a 2011 for under 50 that I installed DragonflyBSD. I use them primarily for ports development. They are not super fast, but good enough to build most packages in a reasonable time to ensure I've got the buildsheet/makefiles correct.

Not a mini. But I've also got an iBook G4 that runs OpenBSD.
I assure you, I am not a corporate sycophant. However, the article linked here is a classic definition of FUD. The histrionics in the comments here seem to mostly be driven by anti-Apple zealotry rather than any reasonable analysis of the facts.

There is exactly nothing forcing anyone to purchase an iPhone 15, and it very clear in all of the materials from Apple what the different between the Pro and non-Pro models is. The iPhone 14 Pro was discontinued (at a higher price) to make way for the non-Pro iPhone 15, since they are roughly equivalent in capabilities... including in their USB speeds.

USB speed was a non-issue 30 days ago, and now it's an emergency that is worthy of histrionics, hand-wringing, and FUD, including calling anyone pointing out how ridiculous this is a "corporate sycophant".

Please.
This is really the only part of the post where I too started pondering.

Wholeheartedly agree with the rest and am thankful for the link compilation.

IMHO, the thing with therapy for mental health problems is that it's mostly in such a sorry state that it's an insult to GPs point to call it a medical treatment. I only make that bold claim because of my own experience. As always, YMMV.

Doesn't make the AI thing less creepy, but I'd still carefully consider there's some real potential here.
iPhone and Mac game engine Unity putting the screws to indie devs

Unity has no this built-in.

Neither.

Unity has a built-on one but it's shitty.
But why have a separate type system instead of just building it into the language. C++ could build in pointer checks and it would be in the same type system.

And with this rebuttal, the issue is now double settled.
Take any pictures or video using the built in cameras and you’ll feel how tiny that storage is really fast. Not all of us are still working at 640x480.

Here’s an example of how Tether gets used in the real world:

“I’d been hearing rumors about illicit uses of Tether—I’d seen court documents containing intercepted messages from a Russian money launderer promoting it to his clients, for one thing—but pig butchering was the most concrete example I found. People around the world really were losing huge sums of money to the con. A project finance lawyer in Boston with terminal cancer handed over $2.5 million. A divorced mother of three in St. Louis was defrauded of $5 million. And the victims I spoke to all told me they’d been told to use Tether, the same coin Vicky suggested to me. Rich Sanders, the lead investigator at CipherBlade, a crypto-tracing firm, said that at least $10 billion had been lost to crypto romance scams.”

Day 1 of the Google Anti Trust Trial
Nice, thanks for providing data. As I said, all those numbers came from a quick google search
Datagrip’s main selling point for me is that it’s a familiar UI over most databases one uses day to day.

I hop into the native apps for more complex, database specific features (GIS etc) but generally it’s perfect.
And Gnome is slow, with a completely limited UI that barely gives you anything of utility. The file selector is so bad (try selecting a file with the keyboard) and slow it's not even funny, it even has concurrency issues if you select things too fast!?, in Gnome applications, buttons keep changing places for no reasons, 30y olds shorcuts stop working an update to the next (like, press enter to validate), they refuse fractional scaling for... I don't know actually, etc, etx. I am sorry for the well intentioned people working on Gnome. But it's just a dumpster fire at this point.

And the tone in the Gnome issue tracker is insufferable. Everybody that suggest something or tries to help is a moron from their point of view.

I cannot help but think the people working on Gnome live in a weird bubble.
This is a skip a generation iPhone for me, USB-C is cool and all but by the time I'm ready to upgrade they should have something much better out there.

Build or seek out a MIDI generating model. I hope Stable Audio is never the place for that. MIDI is deeply lossy and it would be tragedy if it was the only music representation. Imagine if instead of phonographs, compact disks and streaming audio we only had piano rolls. What a loss indeed.
I have taken products through this sort of testing in a previous life. There are many hard-to-replicate factors that influence test results.

For example, in my direct experience (not with phones, but networking gear), the way the product is placed in the test fixture and the way cables are dressed has an impact on emissions and measurements. In one scenario, as a product engineer supporting equipment through a certification lab, I had the mandate to pass with a 3 dB margin from the company I worked for, but, after days of testing and failing, it was decided that the equipment under test could pass with cables routed in a special way (which was not uncommon for normal customer use) and with quasi-peak detection (i.e. averaging the emission peaks) that ended up below the regulatory (FCC for example) passing below the regulatory mask/level by a fraction of a dB. I have always wondered whether a different test lab, without support from product engineers, would pass the same test. I think the answer in "no".

Edit: Quasi-peaking was not a dirty trick that was pulled to pass certification. It was an acceptable method of measuring emission power suggested by the lab technicians.
Which also means they didn't implement the CC lines on the USB-C connector and just tied them down with 5.1k resistors so that actual USB-C devices provide any power at all.
How to recover (digitally) when you are out of prison?
This is not a joke. I have been in prison abroad for nearly two years. A total nightmare. I have nearly lost everything. Not made CC payments in 2 years etc. The US embassy was of little help, mainly because I am a dual citizen. Be assured that this is something that will change very soon. Some things would count as torture that I experienced in this prison (I was 5 month without any contact to my public defender, he never picked up his phone. I wanted to call the US embassy but was denied, finally they declared me crazy for claiming to be a US citizen and I was put in solitary confinement in a cell that was video monitored 24/7.
All this is over now. I was released unexpected yesterday. Now I try to heal and recover.

A friend of mine was able, to at least some extent, to pay for some of my domains. While my main email seems lost (he forgot to pay for email hosting), my main email/domain address seems to be saved. Just have to set up some email hosting for this domain.

0. Main email at my own domain. All emails probably lost, but domain still active. Have to buy email hosting. No working CC left but I figure it out.

1. Facebook. May get back in again. They offer a ID upload option to get back. Thanks god.

2. Gmail. Big issue. I have my computer back and hoped to be able to just log-in based on cockie settings. But this does not work. The account is linked to my google project fi phone. The service is of cause out of service now. I probably lost my very valuable phone number. The phone itself, I kid you not, broke 10 days before I got arrested. It was shipped back to me repaired but I don't have it in my hands yet and I vaguely remember they always do a factory reset.

My Project fi phone probably expired. I feel lost. Any ideas?

Surely whatever money these guys spend buying these zero-days, Apple is rich enough to increase their bounties large enough to attract them to right side instead?

It’s not clear in the article if the author had to take any action to get this program installed. If that’s not required, what should anyone who even vaguely suspects state sponsored spying do?
