You seem to have the same thought process that people had about computer animation. For some reason, many people were under the impression that just because it happens on the computer, you can simply ask Maya to create a full-length animated feature.

The platform the game was made on cannot take credit for the story, level design, character design, world design, game mechanics, game balance, art direction, vocal talent, cut scenes, and myriad of other assets and elements belonging to the game.
The issue with phenylephrine is that it does not help the symptom. Pseudoephedrine does not deal with the underlying immune reactions, but it does constrict your nose blood vessels enough to stop the mucosa from stuffing your nose holes.

Having your nose unclogged is very useful on its own, considering otherwise you'd be forced into mouth-breathing, which would lead to more discomfort and potentially worse outcomes like sleep apnea.

Although it would be speculation, I imagine this will be included because USB-C iPads already have this feature.

One can charge a range of devices, including other iPads from a USB-C iPad. One can even change the charge direction between the two devices.

Charging on these devices is independent from data access. The user is prompted to allow data access which requires authorisation.

The Sun, like the Express and the Daily Star, are "bat boy" quality UK tabloids and should probably just get blocked from being posted on HN. They were also reporting (incorrectly) that "world war one diseases" were spreading at Burning Man, and there's an article in the Daily Star this morning that alleges the "ancient city of Sodom was blown up by an atomic weapon". These are not reliable sources of information, please help me in preventing them from receiving more ad revenue by not aggregating their junk news. Similarly to the scientific method, sources of information should be appropriately vetted based on past performance.

Slightly off topic but I've pondered making a plugin that blocks and removes certain "news" sources of my choice from loading on my browser and showing in news aggregators and search engine results. I can avoid them on my desktop and on HN easily because I see the URL preview, but it's much harder on my phone.

Someone below has also pointed out that most of these UK tabloids are noted in the Wikipedia list of potentially unreliable sources https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Potentially_unreli...
Dunno, I don't own Apple products and was quite disillusioned with my one workplace MBP. I'm unfamiliar with their newest chips and feature support. Do they maybe have an off-chip USB controller on the tablet?

Honestly, I'd expect any Armv8.3+ or Armv9 to have USB PD/USB-C, Thunderbolt, etc. on the chip itself. USB PD is even halfway-or-more supported on some budget Cortex-M targets. Apple, though, is a special case; the chipmaker and developer are the same, so they have the freedom to say "no USB-C on mobile chips" and include only the features they want.

My post was pure speculation and a little giving them the benefit of the doubt.

I do not know specific details of this particular incident but I would like to emphasize the fact that Google Fi, at least in the US, is a virtual network on top of the T-mobile's physical one. There is some extra level of security via obscurity that makes simple social engineering attacks harder but fundamentally it is still T-mobile underneath.
This is the typical design for the competition this car was originally build for. The rules of Formula Student require an open cockpit with a hoop, and you have to demonstrate that your driver is able to egress within 2(?) seconds if I remember correctly.

This record was set with a modified version the car they competed with last season.
This is what I do. I just upgraded last year from an iPhone 6 to 8, and it's working great for me. The next stop would be an 11 I think, and that's only if I end up getting into the Peak Design ecosystem and the dashboard mount's built-in wireless charging capability doesn't work with an 8.
Agreed. Any compliant USB-C cable supports all the features lightning does, aka. power and USB 2.0 data.

It also supports HDMI but that's used with an adapter anyway, so it's not a consideration if it works for a user.
Nothing to do with ads but thanks for playing
Whatever I please. It's irrelevant what I may use it or not use it for.

The point is that the technology now is far past USB 2 (and has been for some time despite Apple's persistence on using Lightning with such slower speeds) and the only reason they have for not putting USB 3 in the 15s (non-Pro) is greed. They were forced by the EU to convert to USB-C, so it looks to me as if they did the absolute minimal amount of work and effort to be any more consumer-friendly than they have to be.
> Expecting major improvements and new features every year is odd to me.

I think that has to do with Apple's own presentation/marketing. They make the announcement into a big thing.
Samsung used to provide this on their Galaxy phones. They called it the "Bixby" button and unfortunately for a while, only hacky solutions to remap it for general usage were available.

Seems like on the latest generations, they dropped this feature as well, so it's interesting to see Apple revive it.

The biggest problem with this "innovation" is going to be teaching my parents how to use it and that "pressing the button doesn't always put the phone in silent anymore"
I never heard of the term 'swampland conjectures' before.. Any resources to dive in to this topic?
Did you try new cables? With USB-C the retaining spring is in the cable, so if it gets loose you just need to replace the cable. With Lightning the spring is inside the charge port in the device, so it's a lot more expensive to replace.
The iPhone 14 battery is considered user serviceable (but not the pro), the iPhone 15 pro has now adopted the 14's design. Basically the rear panel is now straightforward to remove, when before one had to go in through the front.

"Running out of ideas" isn't how I'd characterize it.

I'd put it this way: the device (ie a phone) is now a fully-developed mature product and platform. It browses the Web, runs apps, takes photos/video and plays music/video.

Phones pursued the largest possible screen, first by removing the home button (which, to this day, I still hate and I find gesture replacements to be inferior and inconsistent eg swiping up depends on orientation) and then with the "notch". We lost Touch ID (which I vastly prefer) for Face ID, which is pretty much the sole cause of "iPhone is unavailable for 27 minutes" when the phone sits in your pocket. There are lots of threads all over the Internet about this.

So what Apple (and Samsung) now do is fight commodification, which will lower prices. Forced obsolescence, phones the only really last 2-4 years, incremental component upgrades, sleek materials and a moat of app availability (ie Android vs iOS).

There's really no reason a fully-featured phone should still cost $1000+.
I'm not going to do a lot of research here but one thing I remember reading about was an uptick in Android Ransomware.

I have an ancient ipad. It still gets major updates, but not necessarily all of the best features from those updates. Maybe that is a hardware limitation or maybe not.

I also have a Pixel 5. It received Magic Eraser, which used to be a key feature of newer Pixels, as part of a regular Photos app update.

I'm still getting major updates too, but, tbh, they aren't that critical. Chrome, GMail, Maps, YouTube, Calendar, Messaging, the app store itself (including UI) and the core web browser will keep getting updates well beyond the end of life.

There really isn't a direct comparison here, but I wouldn't switch in either direction due to updates.
Unity's install fees don't start until you hit 200k installs AND $200k revenue. If you buy the $1800/yr PRO then it doesn't start until $1 million just like UE. There isn't any concern for the hobbyists.

I use blink[0] with a 40% keyboard to develop linux program on a vps.

If you want to do programming without wireless interenet, another option is to connect a raspberry pi zero 2w (with usb gadget mode enabled) to the usb c port using a single usb cable. Then the rpi zero will share a ethernet network with iOS device. Then you can use blink (again) to mosh to raspberrypi.local to do the development on the pi.

The reason that I don't do it on android with termux is that there's no high quality terminal emulator like blink on android.

Early mobile games were such a delight. I have fond memories of Angry Birds, Plants vs Zombies, Cut the Rope, Flight Control, Threes, Monument Valley, Bad Piggies...

But then predatory freemium games like Clash of Clans and newer replacements for Angry Birds and Plants vs Zombies burned me out. They eliminated any desire I had to invest time or money or attention into mobile games. Popular freemium games in the App Store now bury any new gems. It's quite disappointing.

A better GPU isn't going to help the situation.
They claimed a different haptic feedback for on vs off, so if that's true you will be able to tell the mode you've toggled into by feel.
This is consistent with the scenario in which the vaccine trials did not lead to the desired outcome ("the pandemic will be cured by the vaccine"), and so institutional powers tried to dress it up as a success. Note that the researchers and authors of this paper do not need to be involved for this to be true. They simply publish a factual result, but it is somehow deformed/ignored during the course of public service campaigns. "Vaccine lowers severity of symptoms" becomes "vaccines work".

More speculatively, with this in mind, it is troubling to think of how the vaccine safety trials may have been interpreted, and why major pharmaceutical companies insisted upon total civil immunity.

One can google "install .deb fedora" and get a litany of web pages which will contain words explaining how to do this. Fedora (and other distributions) is easy enough to install that one doesn't really need to be a "Linux geek" in order to be on Linux and such a person is not quite so likely to wonder whether or not they trust the code they're running.

Synthea-Test-Data: Test Data Created Using Synthea
I do appreciate that if you make something that's always free, no matter who you work for you don't need to worry about which license to use, and by making it revenue for the last 12 months we don't need to worry about every dev taking down all their old Unity games to avoid fees. But it's still not a great deal. Even if they somehow can exclude pirated copies and malicious reinstalls, there's still plenty of absurd scenarios with it.

A developer decides to make their game that was a hit almost a year ago free? Now they might have to pay Unity more than the $200k they made on the game earlier!

Or if they throw it in a charity bundle, they get punished for their attempt to help people in need!
OK but you changed, not Apple. Apple was leaving behind older people when you were young, so I don’t see why everyone is entitled to be part of a product’s target market.

Some of us do still appreciate these improvements. I greatly appreciate a better camera for example. I actually don’t know if the 15 has as an appreciable improvement but the 14’s camera is still a far cry from the quality of a professional camera in every situation but a un-zoomed shot in moderately bright daylight lighting. There is still major work to be done.

Do you need a high quality camera? No. The movie Tangerine was shot on an iPhone for example… but visually, it does not look fantastic. Some people don’t care about image quality but for the people that notice and care, they appreciate it.
Hopefully they don't block full resolution ProRes recording like they did on the 13 series. The 128GB version of the 13 and iirc the 14 was only able to record 1080p60 ProRes, regardless of available space
X11 can't do this because memory allocations happen in the X server.
The exhaust provides downforce though.
Some notes on local-first development
My MacBook Air and my portable external monitor gets power and video from one USB C cable.
It seems so immensely cynical. The latest-and-best Apple Event PR is in a car crash with the reality - from a gaming POV, the iPhone is a platform for user addiction.

I've been watching people around me and the amount of time everyone seems to spend tapping away at a phone, head down, is like something out of a dystopian movie.

The game addiction market must be worth billions to Apple. For all the environmental and other ad copy, there doesn't seem to be any concern about the mental and psychological effects of creating an ecosystem that knowingly relies on exploitative behaviour modification.

I also think the colour scheme is quite cynical. Pastel shades on the base model for the - let's say - less technically-oriented users. Strong blacks, whites, and metallics for the hard-core performance nerds who want that Pro tag.

There's something regressive about it all.

Literally nobody runs storage, not at the required volumes for a North European country. To claim otherwise is just a fucking lie.

Just... what is your plan with this? The reality is, North European countries are now wholly reliant on there not being a cold winter again. If you check three simple things: the number of MW of heating demands, the lithium prices for a MWh, and the god damn ninety-fifth percentile worst weeks for wind+solar at >45 degrees North, to get the number of hours. You can do this, and ask people with money in the game whilst you're at it. The answer is not ambiguous, and it is no where fucking near regardless of what a Twitter bro with 50 MWh in a desert will prat on about. So why. The Fuck. Haven't you?
What do you mean this isn't a new variant of waveform collapse for procedural random generation?
I'd expect it to be equivalent since the task the engines are doing is well within both of their respective capabilities.

The engine is not simulating any of the factory logistics, that's all going to be bespoke code by the game dev and so there's no major reason to expect unity or unreal to behave meaningfully different here.

It's not the first time us two have this kind of discussion.

> Then, if the original plan (the first to be put on the stack) doesn't work anymore, you just backtrack to make another plan from the current position, after checking the current state of the world.

Sure. That's the replanning. But actually you could backtrack into a plan you've already got that has the same prefix as the plan you've already chosen. Presumably a different plan differs from exactly this position and avoids the obstacle that made the current plan fail at that point. You'd have to keep track of the movements you've done. But as the plans are generated lazily, both concepts ('replanning' and 'choosing one of the original plans that hasn't been "superseded by reality" yet') might actually be the same.

>We rely on proprietary technology because the open desktop and libraries and GPU drivers disregarded backwards compatibility

Interesting angle to take it. Maybe the desktop and libraries have some core compatibility issues to resolve, but GPU drivers are ultimately working off what GPU manufacturers give to them. And it's unfortunate because

1. the GPU is a very important aspect, but also one closed down by nature.

2. Unlike the CPU (which is also closed down, and can have its own issues), GPU software especially sucks, even on Windows. You ever see updates like "fix issue with Overwatch"? Yeah, it is easier for Blizzard to call up Nvidia and fix their drivers specifically for their game than to fix whatever core issue made Blizzard struggle

And as such it's no coincidence that many of the portability issues that come up with Linux happen to be related to shader issues. I'm being a bit unfair here given that I just established that the GPU is more important for games (so of course you'll uncover more and nastier bugs), but it's some food for thought on a major chip that may spread into software not choosing to support Linux.

----

Getting of my tangent:

> I would say this is a completely self-inflicted issue in Linux world.

To some extent, yes. But it is mostly an issue of support, and Windows has better support when similar issues arise. Ideally, a developer shouldn't need to rely on an outdated dependency that requires 15yo hardware and should be able to deploy to most major pacmans (a whole other rant, but I've talked enough). I'd say those challenges are hard to resolve, but not as hard as the effort of ensuring an entire proprietary runtime works on a different OS.

> Win32 is the only truly backwards compatible API on Linux.

for now, sure.
