I doubt Apple will enable the iPhone as a Matter hub, because it doesn’t stay at home.

The Apple TV 4k 3rd gen and the new HomePods can be Matter hubs (both have Thread hardware).
I think it depends on the country your business is in (i.e. local laws and regulations) and what is your transaction volume is through Paypal, if you have large transaction volume I am pretty sure you will get better conditions.

Our company has very low volume through Paypal, we only provide it as a convenience and we had to limit payment amount due to fraud we had in the past, so these are likely the worst conditions you can possibly get.
Totally! And for additional fun, run the games on one of those Retro-Handheld-Consoles (Miyoo etc.).
they offer sequences! this is a very good detail, but only the similarity of DNA is not enough. the golden standard is perlfoming a phylogenetic tree reconstruction. if it is true that more tahn 95% DNA of human same as this species, the most probaly hypothesis is that this species is another species closet to human and other primates. finally, because they offered data, we just need to wait someone perform phylogenetic tree reconstruction analysis.

p.s., so they almost say this is not a alien.(if this is true)

and I don't know how they get enough DNA. besides, NCBI automatically assigned these data belong Homo sapiens?
This is entirely false for me.

> The overall idea of a polyglot runtime like that was fun.

Active Scripting, which powers scripts in both WSH and old-school IE including HTAs, is polyglot and extensible. It’s why Active{Perl,Python,Tcl} are called that—the original headline feature (IIUC) was that they integrated with it. It’s also why you could write VBS in IE: IE just passed the text of the script along with the language attribute to AS and let it sort things out.

Nobody did ever a C interprerer, though, I think—perhaps because you basically have to speak COM from Active Scripting, and while speaking COM from C is certainly possible it’s nobody’s idea of fun. (An ObjC-like preprocessor/superset could definitely be made and I’ve heard that Microsoft had even entertained the idea at the dawn of time, but instead they went with C++, and I haven’t been able to find any traces of that project.)

That’s not to say AS is perfect or even good—the impossibility of caching DISPIDs[1], in particular, seems like a design-sinking goof. And the AS boundary was also why DOM manipulation in IE was so slow.

A new API would only work in fully updated versions of windows that include the API.

Programmers would hesitate to use it, because they can't be sure the user of the uninstaller will be on a fully updated windows install.

The JScript workaround might seem like a bit of a hack, but it has an advantage of working on every version of windows all the way back to Windows 98.

Where fine tuning shines imo:

Things that require consistency: e.g. you want the chat / output to have certain "personality", consistent level of conciseness or formatting.

Things where examples are hard to fit into prompt: e.g. summarization, or other longer form tasks.

High volume, simpler tasks: Various data extraction tasks.

Two of my side projects (links in bio) use AI for summarization, and indeed consistency is a big issue there.

Looks like yes.

Note that when they launched iphone, they kept upgrading ipod.

It's not exactly scientific evidence that intelligence is highly heritable.
Between terrible incentives created by Apple's cut structure, and Apple's disregard for backwards compatibility, mobile indie devs never stood a chance. Rami from Vlambeer said it well.

“You earn $3 and then you update it for the next 10 years. If you’re making free-to-play games, if you keep earning money with a game, yeah, that’s a great model because you can make more money by updating.”

Ismail pointed to Vlambeer’s “Ridiculous Fishing,” which won a number of awards from gaming publications and Apple.

“‘Ridiculous Fishing’ is never going to make more money,” he said. “Yeah, some new people might buy it, but we made our money with ‘Ridiculous Fishing’ in 2013 and that money is spent, It’s spent on ‘Luftrausers.’ It’s spent on ‘Nuclear Throne.’ If somebody upgrades their phones to the new iPhone. Yeah. You have ‘Ridiculous Fishing’ in your account, Yeah you paid $3 for it. Yeah, it’s broken.”

That’s what caused the last major update Vlambeer did for the game. A major change by Apple in 2017 that switched from 32-bit to 64-bit apps, breaking a slew of content on their phones … including “Ridiculous Fishing.”

“All games broke,” he said, “Every game that wasn’t programmed for it broke. We updated ‘Ridiculous Fishing’ then but it feels like a mistake almost. It feels like, OK it’s 2018 and this game that we made money with that somebody bought in 2013 is now broken outside of our fault. We didn’t change anything. We didn’t break the game. We didn’t introduce a bug, but this continuous ecosystem that Apple has created, that comes with you with every new phone, broke it. “

Ismail said that either Apple has to start designing for backward compatibility support on their end or that people are going to have to get used to the idea of games dying and disappearing.

“Some of the best ios games from 2010 are gone,” he said. “Those developers, they don’t exist anymore. They went out of business. They split up. They started a new thing and they just don’t have the money or time to do it.”

They absolutely do. I have three and use them all the time. Use case (beyond charging) to have them right in the box is that they can be used to transfer data from a previous Mac to a new one upon setup (heir to the good old "target mode" that used to turn a Mac into a USB mass storage device), or for T2/Apple Silicon to debrick the device by entering DFU mode.

Just got a fourth (shorter, different from MacBooks) one with my new iPad, it has data too, which I just used yesterday to restore the encrypted local backup from my previous iPad and perform a new local backup. I bet the cable shipped with these new iPhones is the same as with the USB-C iPad ones.
This is one step closer to also normalizing genocide. Where do you draw the line of when it is ok to punish a group of people for something that someone who is vaguely* related to them did?

*The use of "family" is a red herring. The point is that a group of people is punished not because of attribution of some charges, but merely because the charged person/group cares enough for them. This can easily be extrapolated to "we will kill all X because we cannot capture the rebels among X".

Typically scanning tools have some limit to how much they probe complex formats, to avoid stalling the entire system while they're scanning. It's very much conceivable that a scan tool will try to resolve code like this for 10 layers, and then if the result is not found to be malicious, consider it safe.

This is similar to how compilers will often have recursion limits for things like generics, though in that case it's easier to reject the program if the recursion limit is reached.

Yes, my childrens preschool was awesome but at the same time I did wonder why the need for tablets at such a young age. One reason stated was that it was a matter of equality, parents who could not afford tech means their children are at a disadvantage later on when they dont know how to use... touchscreens I guess? :)
This is a great idea and would handily deal with the escalating “momentum war” between selfish drivers who buy the biggest, heaviest vehicle they can afford in order to be safer than their counterparts in a collision.

I have an iPhone SE that's (apparently) 2nd generation 2020 - same year as iPhone 12.

I'm a bit worried now.
The problem isn't "apt" so much as "the system apt packages do weird things and as a result I can't build this open source package" or "I updated Ubuntu and now varnish and znc don't work even though I was using the system packages" or "the system apt package for mono is just plain broken and it conflicts with one I build from source, so I have to uninstall it"

mundane gripe: Uninstalling an apt package is too complicated and it is beyond me why it isn't a single command in 2023. I have to skim stackoverflow answers every time I need to do it (multiple times a year).
I think parent is questioning the premise of said regulations.
> macOS comes pretty close to what I'd ideally want in an OS with regards to installation - independent packages that are certified/notarised, but I'd like to see the OS allow for user-specified authorities beyond just Apple.

It's easy to run unsigned binaries/app packages on macOS: right click on the .app, hold down Option, then click Open and confirm the warning.
It's perfectly fine to discuss if these are good regulations or not in this thread. Shame for down voting based on this.
Exactly. These are obviously the bodies of humans' genetically-engineered descendants from the far future; they've somehow traveled backwards in time to more than a millennia ago where some tragedy befell them and their corpses were preserved until the present day.
What doesnt make it believeable is that it‘s 1k years old and apparently a fossil. Oetzi is 5k years old but is not fossilised.
Does this mean it's now illegal to sell your used iPhone 12?

From the guidelines: "Question dialogs (using buttons) ask users a single question or to confirm a command, and use simple responses in horizontally arranged command buttons." The key part being use simple responses. They fail on two parts, it could have just said yes/no like 99% of dialog boxes out there. Secondly it changed the order from standard. On the next guideline: "Whenever possible, assign unique access keys to all interactive controls or their labels.". These buttons do not assign access keys. Agaion y/n are the common ones here. They've literally went out of their way to create a more confusing dialog when the ismple confirm dialog would have been perfect.

Because IIRC the last data I looked at suggested the booster doesn't confer lasting benefits (i.e. beyond the initial 90 or however many days) if you already have the bivalent shot. So absent the new booster being different in this respect, or a significant increase of catching COVID in the next few months, I'd rather not go through the vaccine sides (which have been more than just mild 3/3 times).

It is, these days. Windows 10 onwards has a native package format called MSIX that somewhat resembles packages on Linux. They're special zips containing an XML file that declares how the software should be integrated into the OS (start menu, commands on the PATH, file associations etc). Windows takes care of installation, update and uninstallation.

The system is great, in theory. In practice adoption has been held back by the fact that it was originally only for UWP apps which almost nobody writes, and also only for the MS Store. These days you can use it for Win32 apps outside the store but then you will hit bugs in Windows. And packages must be signed.

Still, the feature set is pretty great if you can make it work. For example you can get Chrome-style updates where Windows will keep the app fresh in the background even if it's not running. And it will share files on disk between apps if they're the same, avoid downloading them, do delta updates and more. It also tracks all the files your app writes to disk outside of the user's home directory so they can be cleanly uninstalled, without needing any custom uninstaller logic.

One interesting aspect of the format is that because it's a "special" (read: weird) kind of zip, you can make them on non-Windows platforms. Not using any normal zip tool of course, oh no, that would be too easy. You can only extract them using normal zip tools. But if you write your own zip library you can create them.

A couple of years ago I sat down to write a tool that would let anyone ship apps to Win/Mac/Linux in one command from whatever OS they liked, no harder than copying a website to a server. I learned about MSIX and decided to make this package format. It took us a while to work around all the weird bugs in Windows that only show up on some machines and not others for no explicable reason, but it's stable now and it works pretty well. For example you can take some HTML and JS files, write a 5 line config file pointing at those files, run one command and now you have a download page pointing to fully signed (or self signed) self-updating Windows, Mac and Linux Electron app. Or a JVM app. Or a Flutter app. Or any kind of app, really! Also IT departments love it because, well, it's a real package format and not an installer.

Writing more about this tech has been on my todo list for a while, but I have now published something about the delta update scheme it uses which is based on block maps, it's somewhat unusual (a bit Flatpak like):

https://hydraulic.dev/blog/20-deltas-diffed.html

The tool is free to download, and free for open source projects if anyone is wanting to ship stuff to Windows without installers:

Racing rules are not generally updated because ground effect (powered or not) is a safety concern because losing traction through a corner suddenly when it fails can be catastrophic.

When I was looking for a new smartphone a few years ago I stumbled across the SAR figures and the data set published by the German agency responsible for it.[^1] It was important to recognize that some older Xiaomi phones had higher figures than iPhones listed there. But more recent Xiaomis are even under 0.5, which grants them the “Blue Angel” designation by that agency. You can also download the CSV output. According to this data set, iPhones 12 aren’t much different from the other series. Perhaps different batches in France from different production locations?

"Yeah no, every app and every website does this stuff differently". Do you want to bet on that? I will wager that the top 20 open source applications, use standard yes/no dialogs 5x times more often than a customized version.

In the shadow of encroaching regulatory despotism, the luminous innovation of the iPhone was threatened with bureaucratic shackles by the European Union. The relentless march of progress was halted, as the central planners decreed that every charging port must bow before the altar of uniformity. No longer could Apple's vision for a sleek and efficient Lightning connector reign supreme; instead, the heavy hand of Brussels demanded compliance with the USB-C standard. The champions of individualism and choice saw their liberty erode, replaced by the stifling straitjacket of conformity. The spirit of innovation, once ignited by the entrepreneurial genius of Silicon Valley, flickered in the face of such top-down directives, leaving a world dimmed by uniformity, where the art of technological diversity was sacrificed at the altar of bureaucratic convenience.

Or, like, you know...it's just a charging cable.
