> I suspect the final form for software installation is probably where iOS and Android are going in the EU, where there's a single means of installing software to the device so that everything can be sandboxed properly, but the acquisition/update process can be pointed to a URL/Store that the user has pre-approved.

Basically how Linux distributions works since the beginning. Tough at the start the installation source was not remote but a CD-ROM things didn't change.

You have a repository of packages (that can be on a local source as a CD or remote source such as an HTTP/FTP server), that have some sort of signature (on Linux usually the pagkage is signed with GPG) with some keys that the user trusts (and the default are installed on the system), and a software that allows to install, uninstall and update the packages.

Android/iOS arrived later, but they didn't invent anything.

I am pretty sure that this is a new phone.
In the Netherlands more than 50% all homeless are addicted. 40% have mental health problems [1].

Not that surprising because everyone can get atleast 1200 Euro a month if you can't get a job [1]. And there is a bunch of additional money (like huurtoeslag -> extra money to be able to pay the rent, etc.) you are entitled to if you are in low / no income. So most homeless people here have other problems then just money.

Similar. It's like that but in reverse. Instead of running snippets of your docs as code, the tests and their metadata are used to compile doc snippet or entire how to docs pages.
> Comments, trailing commas, and multiline strings.

IMO, that would make it "good enough" for most use cases.

Having the application parse a date from a string isn't too bad. And dropping quotes on keys is just a nicety. And really, trailing commas aren't strictly necessary either.

But comments are absolutely necessary for a human readable configuration format. And multi-line strings are critical for any use case where you have strings that could be long. Like, say, a "description" field.

As a sidenote, the absence of multi-line strings is a major frustration I have with writing JSON schemas in JSON.
Shocked. I exclusively dump on my NAS from time to time. Connecting to iPhones is my nemesis
It sounds pretty simple as a case of if it's important for you, then you should seek out other options, like the pro. Android phones also come in a mix of 2.0/3.0 speeds.
What is the difference then between an iPhone 14 Pro and an iPhone 15 non-Pro, beyond a slightly different exterior?
> The iPhone 15 Pro sports Apple's new A17 Pro APU, complete with a new on-die USB controller block. However, the vanilla iPhone 15 makes do with the last-gen A16 Bionic chip, which lacks that new USB controller and only has the original Lightning controller onboard.

What did the iPads do before A17? Did they also have this extra controller? I thought at least the Pro models already had faster speeds, so there must have been a solution already.
I applied for a job at a gas station in the late 90's. The store manager had to get permission to run a credit check that I needed for the job: The dude explained that folks with bad credit were more likely to steal from the company.

Which isn't true, of course, and they had other ways to check for theft - but this didn't stop them.
> Nothing really to see here or complain about.

Apple's brand is generally pro-consumer and pro-experience. How is such dated technology (i.e., USB 2.0) anywhere close to Apple's brand (read: market expectations)? If any other company said, "Here's a brand new 2023 $800 device with USB 2.0..." there would be blood in the social media streets.

There were plenty of other ways to differentiate the pro and non-pro models. Using USB 2.0 is lazy and shortsighted. Obviously, not on-brand either.
This is not malicious - the USB controller is the same as the older model which only supported 2.0 speeds.
Those people will likely want the pro model then with better cameras and usb3 transfer speeds

I do because I despise the idea of iCloud, but I’m also completely happy to pay more for USB 3.0. It’s like the new MacBook Pros — ample ports (again), which for my uses are worth paying for.
Well I like the "workaround" that Microsoft proposes for a limitation of Windows that shouldn't really be to this day.

UNIX resolved this decades ago: the filename is just a link to a structure on disk. You can delete a file even if it's used, since the file is there but you only delete the reference (filename pointing to the inode) that it has. Programs that have the file open can continue using it. When the file is no longer open by any programs the reference count is checked: if it's zero it means that the file can be safely deleted.

Not a difficult thing to implement, since they did it in the 70s... still Widnows doesn't get it.

As someone whose most devices are USB-C 3.0+ for the past few years and never need to think about speed, I have to say this comment is hilarious.
This "transcript" format was so disappointing. Not at all intuitive or interesting to read.
For me biggest bummer is 3.0 USB speed in Pro. I expected USB 4 with external monitors, 10 Gbps ethernet, fast external storage...

I used my Galaxy as a desktop for several years. I have separate workstation for dev, but as personal device it is perfect.
I'll just say there's no guarantee training or fine-tuning a smaller bespoke model will be more accurate (Certainly though, it may be accurate enough). Minerva and Med-Palm are worse than GPT-4 for instance.

It isn't about owing money or even debt. You can be in a lot of debt and have good credit. You can also have very little debt and have very poor credit because you couldn't pay a hospital bill or didn't get the final electric bill from your old apartment paid before it went to collections.

It is really about keeping poor people out. You might be able to argue something about responsibility if you can prove that they could pay the debt and chose not to.

Okay but how many people are actually transferring large amounts of data to and from their iPhones via cables? And on the rare occasion that they are transferring 10GB of data, it takes a minute or two? And if they're doing it frequently (presumably an amateur videographer), they'd certainly buy an iPhone Pro and probably have a USB 3 cable. Tech journalists can be so dense sometimes.

S-expressions only really address a smallish part of what people seem to want out of configuration file syntaxes: a simple, recursive syntax.

Among the things that S-expressions don't address per se are the interpretation of tokens (e.g., numeric vs non-numeric token syntax), how non-numeric tokens may be interpreted as booleans, symbols, timestamps, etc.; whether to use alists vs. plists for associations and the semantics of any duplicate keys within an associative construct; how to specify the schema for a configuration object (required vs. optional elements & the types of each, etc.)

IOW, merely saying "use S-expressions" over-emphasizes syntax while under-emphasizing semantics.
I think they meant to say old processor or old SoC.
Because there's a human scale to things at the end of the day. It's why we will probably never need 16k resolution for phones - the human eye can only see so many pixels.

iPhone 15 max storage configuration is 512 GB. So you can transfer the entirety of the phone in 10 minutes. Plug it in, have a coffee and come back. Is it changing anyone's life if it can be done in 90 seconds instead? How often do you need to transfer the entirety of your phone storage?

This can be applied to literally anybody. I've been reading them for many years (since their editor and most of their journalists were at lenta.ru — which they were thrown out of in ~2015 for daring to criticize the annexation of Crimea). They are not angels, but they have always at least tried to remain impartial and use relatively reliable sources of information. Many (most?) news outlets don't even try.
This sort of consumer-friendly thinking may finally tip the scales for me towards Apple. Every single time I need to charge my device, or a family member's device, or a friend's device, or another of the many devices that I have that use USB-C, I care, a lot.

It's the charging, not the data transfer, that people do multiple times per day, every day, at multiple different charge points.
while we're hoping, I'd love the Mini to come back, or for the SE to use the Mini's dimensions
The fact it injects into another process means they can't know if it'll crash or not. You're just one Explorer update away from things changing enough for the hack to crash it.

I guess they could do this more robustly. I.e pause the entire explorer process, save all its state, remotely allocate new memory to inject their code, remotely create a new thread, run only that thread using the injected code, restore all the process' state and finally start it running where it left off. A script would be easier though.

> you don't trust the results of one promt, but you trust multiple piped one into another?

This is really not at all unusual. Take aircraft for instance. One system is not reliable, for a multitude of reasons. A faulty sensor could be misleading, a few bits could get flipped by cosmic rays causing ECC to fail, the system itself could be poorly calibrated, there are far too many unacceptable risks. But add TMR[0][1] and suddenly you are able to trust things a lot more. This isn't to say that TMR is bullet proof e.g. incidents like [2], but redundancy does make it possible to increase trust in a system, and assign blame to what part of a system is faulty (e.g. if 3 systems exist, and 1 appears to be disagreeing wildly with 2 and 3, you know to start investigating system 1 first).

Would it work here? I don't know! But it doesn't seem like an inherently terrible or flawed idea if we look at past applications. Ensembling different models is a pretty common technique to get better results in ML, and maybe this approach would make it easier to find weak links and assign blame.

Think of this from the point of personas and their uses. What are the personas for 95% of the market and what tasks will they do that relate to USB transfer speeds? I suspect Apple has done this analysis and that most iPhone users won't notice the difference for the non-pro models.

Remember, the hacker news crowd as a group does not represent the masses of iPhone users.
I feel there will be a split: larger companies will move to Unreal because of its tooling and reputation as the industry standard, while indies and solo devs will move to Godot, because it's (imo) easier to use for smaller projects, and its open source nature protects us from bait-and-switches like this. (For what it's worth, I don't think Epic will pull anything like this with Unreal, because so many big studios already rely on it and they're probably making a killing on it as-is).

I think it'll be similar to the 3D modelling space: big shops tend to use Cinema 4D/Zbrush/whatever they're using nowadays, and everyone else uses Blender.

Yeah, they decided to use and old processor on a new $800 phone that can't support something my $400 phone does.

But what can you expect, they're just a poor indie company, we need to lower our expectations of them.
I would say postgres is python of databases, second best to everything.
You said "I'd guess 99% of the population makes a phone last 2-4 years." Which is obviously false if the average is 3 years. An interesting data point neither of these articles have is the standard deviation. One of the articles says 8% of people wait more than 5 years.
Seems like that might not be possible these days.

Population increase yes, from immigration. The problems coming from the segregation stem from immigration (almost per definition), not "population increase" which sounds like Sweden experienced a huge baby boom.

Sugar coating the problem or painting a different picture than what it is, is part of the problem. For example, of course there are challenges and costs with immigration, and it doesn't help anyone pretending there aren't. Of course immigration from low-education countries will have on general lower education. Pretending otherwise will ensure they won't get the help they need to become a part of the society. Of course patriarchical society immigrants will generally have a patriarchical mindset. It doesn't help that turning a blind eye to that just because you (not you specifically) is afraid being called a racist for calling that out.

I would not discount market segmentation purposes, even though it seems like a bit of a mess: on the ipad front

- the 4th gen ipad air supports 5Gb USB, the 10th gen iPad only supports 0.5Gb, both use an A14

- the 5th gen ipad pro supports 40Gb USB, the 5th gen ipad air only supports 10Gb, both use an M1

But I've been told these ports are not symmetrical, the highest speeds are only in host mode and come from a separate USB3 controller, and the soc integrated device mode has much lower specs (10G for the Pro, 0.5Gb on the A15-using 6th gen mini — 5Gb capable in host mode).
I don't know the spread of this movement but it does exist. For example, the national electric company deployed a new generation of electric meter (Linky) which can communicate data to your supplier using PLC.
