Not all "really nice" headphones are high-impedance, and if they were a headphone amp isn't a source, it's an amp.

The source is the DAC and the DAC in that dongle is better than most audiophile DACs are. Remember, audiophile equipment is scams made by small companies and iPhone dongles have bigger R&D budgets than their entire industry.
Frustrated I just got AirPods 6 weeks ago with lightning. Would have been amazing to be entirely USB C for the first time ever with my next iPhone purchase. But that's probably a couple years off, maybe my airpods will be dead by then
I've had (a different brand) of magnetic adapter break devices (it wasn't a cheap one either, it was the most expensive and highest rated at the time).

Something about the USB circuitry doesn't like how the magnetic adapters partially connect sometimes. I don't pretend to understand the failure mode but I have a very funky Valve Index controller now.
TBH, Replicate is not a great way to run 7B beyond experimentation. You want a host with cheap consumer GPUs (like vast.ai) since the 4-bit requirements are so modest.

You either need a backend with good batching support (vLLM), or if you don't need much throughput, an extremely low end GPU or no GPU at all for exLlama/llama.cpp.

OpenAI benefits from quantization/batching, optimized kernels and very high utilization on their end, so the huge price gap vs a default HF Transformers instance is understandable. But even then, you are probably right about their aggressive pricing.

As for quality, you need a llama model finetunes on the target language (many already exist on Huggingface) and possibly custom grammar if your backend supports it.
Sounds like waze is the problem… I regularly drive all day with Apple Maps, MagSafe charging, and Bluetooth data. No issues keeping my phone charged
Honestly I don't think the 737 MAX was a software failure so much as a weird intersection of failures in:

- regulation (FAA incentivized not modifying the primary frame/wings),

- aerospace engineering (weight too high for existing control surfaces, necessitating a weird control surface on the tail),

- systems engineering (specifying activating MCAS during a 1-out-of-2 sensor failure instead of 2-out-of-3/etc),

- and training. The procedures for new MCAS system changes weren't drilled into pilots to perpetuate the perception that this was still the same 737 and didn't need in-depth FAA review. In fact, Boeing managers and the FAA removed references to MCAS from Boeing's flight crew operations manual (FCOM).

The software didn't seem like it had a bug or even particularly poorly designed for the intended system. I'm not sure I'd find the software engineers at fault...they followed the specification given by the systems engineers, and it would have looked reasonable to a software engineer. The intended overall system was fucking atrocious, however. I'd absolutely lay the blame for the 737 MAX incidents on the business managers, aerospace engineers, and especially the systems engineers.

MCAS involved a good amount of software, but it wasn't the software which caused the failure.

I used to play MUD's as a kid! I've got an LLM powered CLI MUD game slow brewing in my noggin but haven't started on it yet. I did build a multi-player chatgpt powered discord text-adventure bot which I think I'll eventually try to convert into a shared-universe game. I think all you really need is a little bit of state (like, if you were to walk up to an auction house and ask to see the items just pull it from a db and inject into context).
Yeah, you need to get another reason, really. I'm only looking at it because my phone is physically shattered.
Very hard to build, very hard to evict (you can be a horrible tenant for years and not get kicked out), very strict price controls (they carry over to the next renter), and lo and behold people decide being a landlord isn't worth the trouble. Property tax is low too so keeping places empty isn't as unappealing as elsewhere.
Sad at the cynical comments here regarding Apple's environmental commitments. Does Apple have a tendency to exaggerate? Sure. But this is also the most ambitious set of climate-related adaptations I've heard from a corporation at their scale, and it seems to be deeper than just marketing fluff.

How can we expect to change things if even meaningful moves to make improvements are automatically cynically dismissed?
> And I can't think of any way to work around it that wouldn't (or at least couldn't) be some horrendous kludge which probably wouldn't work very well.

One could always dream of head unit updates for wireless carplay support...

But according to some wireless carplay adapters do work quite well so that might be an option: https://9to5mac.com/2023/09/10/carplay-wireless-carplay-adap...

Apple could even release an official one.
Right. So you don't eat the rind. However, it's an outstanding addition to many soups, where you simmer it in the soup, and the soup takes on some of the delicious umami flavor of the Parmigiano. You then remove the rind before serving.

What happens to the chip when we do that? Will it stay embedded in the rind after simmering for an hour or two? If not, will it pass through safely if I eat it?
I use the iPad Mini for that sort of thing.

"by shutting off Starlink’s satellite network over Crimea"

Misinformation is still well and alive in main-stream media. Refusing a new extension of the Starlink's satellite coverage to Sevastopol is now considered as "shutting off" the network over Crimea.
In my experience, a half-face respirator is more comfortable than a FFP2 (European standard similar to N95) or surgical mask. They have soft silicone seals, and bigger filters and exhalation valves that minimize breathing resistance. If you want to reduce your chances of getting COVID-19 it seems the obvious choice.
> It is blatantly and patently clear that is where the virus came from.

I don't think it's so clear. However, rejecting the lab leak is deeply unscientific.

From a Bayesian standpoint, before anything was known, it was silly to dismiss the probability. Estimates from before the pandemic suggested the annual risk was ~2.4% [1], or roughly less than a 50-year recurrence interval. Compare that to the base-rate of roughly 1% of natural spill-over once-every-hundred-year pandemics and it seems foolish to dismiss it. I tended to think the escape estimates were a bit overstated and so I reduced that to ~1% which puts it at about 50/50 without much additional knowledge.

After all the information to date has come in, there's circumstantial evidence in favor of both hypotheses. Unfortunately, it's quality is such that I doubt it pushes my truth estimate much beyond 60/40 one way or the other, so 50/50 remains a decent educated guess. The US top intelligence agencies mostly came to exactly the same conclusion.

In a hypothetical world where Apple started using USB-C with say, the iPhone 6 or 6s, we would have gotten to the point consumers had a surplus of cables much sooner. I have no doubt this would have encouraged a few more Android OEMs to stop shipping cables, in addition to the ones that already don't ship one like FairPhone. It's a pretty significant savings between lower BOM, being able to ship the phones in smaller boxes, and simplifying logistics.

Having more of one cable type reduces the need for people to buy replacements for damaged cables because there are more spares available. A significant amount of consumers have only 1 usb-c or lightning cable lying around.

Cables also aren't the only issue, various accessories are designed to be lightning compatible like AV adapters.

The e-waste between all these factors is significant just because over a billion smartphones are shipped yearly. Even a little unnecessary waste adds up quick at that scale. Which justifies the course of action the EU took.
The sad thing is, having a mandatory high school level statistics & probability class alone is not enough, you'll also need a good curriculum and a competent teacher to go along with it. Otherwise, it wouldn't work: a bad curriculum taught badly by a unmotivated or unqualified teacher will almost always fail to teach the intuition, or, even worse, alienates students from the materials.
Well not so strictly. It says bilberry or blueberry because what is exactly meant is not so black and white, and it may also depends on your flavour of English and French.

For instance, @bombela says that "North American" blueberry is 'bleuet' in Canadian French. In France, 'bleuet' is a flower.
I'm happy for you if that's working out in your enterprise. It was not our experience in the time frame we're talking about (VB was sunset over 20 years ago), and frankly it was not our experience 5 years ago - when we were running skads of applications on Citrix servers so we could have absolute control over the "client" runtime environment, and have the actual on-the-glass experience be thin client.

Ah here. It's unfair to solely blame the Brits for that. By the 1600s less than 20% of the island was forested, down from 80% at the start of the neolithic period[1].

I go to the gym every day and what I can say is that if it used to be a third place, now it has become more of a non-place[0]. Nobody talks to anyone anymore. People don't look at what's around them and are glued to their smartphones all the time while they rest. If you approach someone to ask something, and if they are also wearing headphones, make sure you repeat what you want to say, because inexplicably these cheap knockoff headphones have perfect sound isolation.

When we talk about the increase in loneliness, I can't help but associate it with the launch of the iPhone and the social apps. I wonder if the benefits brought by this device really outweigh its cons.

Furthermore, every month I organize a meetup with people who want to practice English (I live in Brazil) and usually 10 to 15 people attend. I think people want to connect with other people, but technology isn't helping them find those opportunities. I use meetup.com, but the person has to download the app or go to the website. I think most of my potential audience don't even know it exists because it's a very US thing.

I'm not talking about a fear budget, I'm talking about actual money. In 20 years we had SARS, MERS, ebola, H1N1, and then SARS 2. It makes no sense to shut down a program that keeps an eye on potential pandemics.

We bought a countertop dehydrator to handle the excess tomatoes I grew one year since I didn't want to try pressure canning sauces. I think our favorite uses are for apples, strawberries and bananas. We've had some good experiences with cucumber that resulted in tangy chips that were great to dip, but I think that was dependent on my garden producing weird, oversized cucumbers.

USB 2.0 and Lightning share the same speeds. Nothing changed
But for how long?

Can't buy an unlocked phone from a carrier. Only other authorized resellers either don't sell phones (B&H, Adorama, Staples), have a limited selection which is in-store only (Target, Walmart), which leaves only Best Buy and right now I see everything on backorder. Now that Apple isn't taking new orders there's a good chance those will be cancelled.

And then there's the roulette wheel of buying from Amazon or Newegg where you might get a refurbished phone advertised as "new" if it isn't a literal brick in a box.

Still comes down to my fault for being slow to act. I said I wished for a warning but you know what they say about wishes.

(For context of how slow I am, I'd be upgrading from a SE (2016))
I'd go as far as saying that leather accessories are actually even better for environment since they easily outlast any fabric or silicone ones.
It's really just shameless greenwashing from Apple, nothing more.

You'll never get actual economics out of switching to open models without running your own hardware. That's the whole point. There's orders of magnitude difference in price, where a single V100/3090 instance can run llama2-70b inference for ~0.50$/hr.
While trying to come up with an Apple buzzword I realized we are not far away from Apple announcing Thought Control.

> I don’t know if this is still the case, but for a long time, your game would get rejected from the App Store if it required an external controller to play.

To my knowledge you've always been allowed to provide optional game controller support, as long as you supported a touch interface too.
I guess I just fundamentally disagree with you on this one. To me, spending time manually calculating integrals in a timed exam is less similar to copying code from an LLM and more similar to manually translating the source code you write into machine code instead of using a compiler; it might have value, but the amount of work it would take a student in an intro class to do that would drown out their ability to retain anything else.
At this point I don't have any portable electronics which do not use USB C (kind of by design, I have so many USB C cables and almost no microUSB left and don't want to buy more of the latter) and only have a handful of things in general which still use MicroUSB.

So, my phone, tablet, steam deck, power bank, bluetooth-to-wired audio adapter, all use USB C. Same with any of the laptops I'm looking at getting. Thus, all I ever need to carry is a power brick, a USB C hub, a C-to-C cable and an A-to-C cable and it'll be sufficient for everything.

It's also worth noting that when USB-C was finalized, Apple had only made the switch to Lightning a couple years prior. People were already upset over that switch because all of their cables and accessories were suddenly incompatible (this was at a time when people used their port for a lot more). I think if Apple immediately changed out their port for USB-C in 2015 like a lot of Android manufacturers did, they would have gotten a LOT of flak.

While I'm sure they certainly enjoyed the selfish benefits of Lightning until now, there's something to be said that it's a pro-consumer move to let people continue to use their cables and accessories for a decade before making the jump. Even after doing this now, I'm already preparing to hear people complain about how this move is a money grab.
Your point on sandboxes reduce attack surface is good.

I know this topic is pretty exhausted, but hey...

In the terrible movie The Internship they have this "contest" for the interns, where they're all told of a server that has suddenly stopped serving up digital photos.

So they all start writing on a glass wall. No intern says, "hey, let's go and look at the server logs!" Not cinematic, I guess.
That was such a dumb prediction..

It just doesn’t make sense to go wireless only, like even as the presentation showed, there are great usecases for wires, like moving data fast to external storage during video recording. Also, charging is much much slower without a cable, and then we didn’t even talk about debuggibility, servicibility, for no reason whatsoever. Apple is not hurt by usb-c, they have been using it for many years on their own dime. They just waited around so if anyone takes offense (see other commenters) they can freely point their fingers at the EU. They only were waiting around for a scapegoat.
How does the IPFS DHT, which is built on UDP, work on Tor? As far as I know, Tor doesn't support UDP, and DHTs are massively inefficient over TCP.

So run a meta-study upon the results published by a set of authors and double-check to make sure that their results are normally distributed across the p-values associated with their studies.

These problems are solved problems in the scientific community. Just announce that regular meta-studies will be done, expectations for authors to be normally distributed is published, and publicly show off the meta-study.

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

In any case, the discussion point you're making is well beyond the high-school level needed for a general education. If someone needs to run their own experiment (A/B testing upon their website) and cannot afford a proper set of tests/statistics, they should instead rely upon high-school level heuristics to design their personal studies.

This isn't a level of study about analyzing other people's results and finding flaws in other people's (possibly maliciously seeded) results. This is a heuristic about how to run your own experiments and how to prove something to yourself at a 95% confidence level. If you want to get published in the scientific community, the level of rigor is much higher of course, but no one tries to publish a scientific paper on just a high school education (which is where I was aiming my original comment at).

One of the little known cool and new things here is the manual memory management APIs they've added. They give you a lot of upgrades over malloc/free, but with good performance:

- Bounds checks, we know about those. The JITC can move them around to reduce their costs.

- Temporal safety is new. It means you can't have crashes or read bad data due to use-after-free bugs, even though deallocation/unmapping is explicit and not GC controlled. It's efficient (see below).

- Thread safety. You can allocate memory that can't be shared between threads (confined segments).

- You can create customized memory allocators (arenas)

- You can allocate memory and give it to another piece of code, without that code being able to free it. This lets you communicate memory lifetimes via the type system.

- You can wrap memory allocated by external libraries to give these allocations these same abilities.

This isn't a set of compile-time guarantees like what Rust gives you, it's still Java, but it does provide the usual guarantees Java developers expect, like buggy code can't crash the VM.

It's also cheaper than you'd expect at runtime. The JIT compiler understands how to eliminate redundant bounds/free checks, so code that looks like it'd do a lot of bounds/free checking will only really do it once.

You could wonder how that works in a multithreaded language. What stops you allocating some memory, starting to work with it, the thread checks the memory isn't closed once and then does a lot of operations, but whilst it's doing that, another thread closes it? There's a TOCTOU problem. Their solution is to use the thread-local handshake mechanism built into the JVM, which lets threads send "messages" to each other even if the user's code isn't polling anything for a message. This is built on the safepoint mechanism, which is itself a highly optimized and efficient per-thread check. If a multi-threaded segment is closed then each thread that is accessing it is brought to a safepoint and then de-optimized (forced back to the interpreter from compiled code), at which point the flag will be checked on the next access and throw an exception.

In this way bounds and freed-flag checks can appear as if they are done on every single access, whilst still having high performance, and use-after-free bugs will always yield a safe exception that can be logged, reporting, doesn't corrupt memory etc.
