With this announcement it wouldn't surprise me if Apple is already working on a first-party case/attachment specifically for gaming.

And it wouldn't be their first attempt at such hardware:

And those users who will use the Pro for video/photos can now transfer them to external storage while shooting (finally).
There's brave as in people whine because it's pushing the envelope but it can be easily worked around (see headphone jack) and there's brave in the sense of foolhardy which I have to believe all wireless would be in the next decade. (On a phone. Seems reasonable on a watch especially one advertised as suitable for fairly extreme conditions.)
counterpoint: no she doesn't, that's weird nonsense.

and I've offered at least as much evidence as you have.
The removal of headphone jack is no longer a daily hindrance to me, but it's become at best "every 3-4 days I swear at my company-mandated iPhone for not having a headphone jack" :)

If they remove all jacks, that's so many devices I own, and use-cases I have, poof gone!
You need to size the heat pump based on the gas consumption over a year, not the instant supply. Here is a very good explanation:

"We have removed the Lightning port so now you can plug in your cables which are identified by the lightning bolt icon."
Yes, obviously I was kidding.

I'm looking forward to the day when I need to pack only USB-C cables when we go on family vacation, but it's still going to be a couple of years until we replaced the last device with lightning port (especially iPads seem to last forever).
They will have the same problem trying to get them to pay per installs as well, whatever punishment can happens for not paying their cost to install tax they can do the same tactic for those not paying their revenue share.
I felt the same way, until I got an iPhone without it. It’s truly unnecessary in 2023. If you really need a headphone jack, the adapters work great.

Otherwise, AirPods are 100x better than wired.
I bought a 13mini yesterday based on rumors that it would be discontinued today.

Was waiting to see if they had a new mini, and obviously they do not so glad I grabbed it.

Xs, 13, 14, 15, it’s all the same to me except a mini feels so much easier to handle.
Sorry for drive-by (accidental) criticism, it was really more of a joke than anything. I haven't kept up to date at all and I think I missed that GAE is now a general-purpose hosting platform now (iirc in 2012 it was specific to a Google-provided framework). I think I'd use GAE now on further looks, or I guess something like Render if I didn't want to use GCP.
As another computer enthusiast, why not both? I have a pretty beefy rig, but I’d also like to leverage the full compute on my iphone/ipad. If the software wasn’t locked down, the hardware would be more than competitive with the laptop my job provides me. And having an ipad as a full compute device would have been perfect for my university days; the small programming assignments I had would have been perfect to develop on that form factor (ipad + small bluetooth keyboard, together thinner than most laptops).
Might want to still hold onto those cables for the Apple magic mouse, magic trackpad and magic keyboard.
While you may have a point about the durability, i do not think you know/understand the meaning of all the words you used.
Thank you for the summary. I wasn't planning on watching it and certainly won't now.
Because as is C# is very noticeably a second class citizen. Something like Godot 4.0/4.1 missing C# support for android/ios/web shows that perfectly imo.
which is certainly a problem worth solving, but it's still a different issue than a highly infectious disease that can be spread on elevators buses
Does anyone feel like trying this out with some folks from here?
And "a huge leap" isn't true just because they repeat it 6(!) times on the page.
In their defense, iPhones haven’t changed much, and IMO that’s a good thing. I still use an iPhone SE and haven’t experienced any issues. I have a much older iPhone which i stopped using a couple years ago but it was the same, and I suspect it might still even support the latest OS and apps
> Although I do dislike that there's a large category of "achievements" nowadays that are nothing more than telemetry for developers.

That's always been the case. Some XBoX360 games went as far as having "reached the main menu" achievements in order to create a baseline user count that didn't include demo terminals running the attract mode on loop.

I agree that cheevos-as-telemetry sounds bad at face value, but consider it the other way around:

Getting pain-free already anonymized telemetry stats via achievements through platform holders has long been a bulwark against intrusive bullshit telemetry by way of making the effort-to-reward ratio of the later just not worth it. This is not unlike the classic "The way to stop piracy is to provide a better UX" argument.

It also has the very important added benefit of making what is being collected extremely transparent to users.
I get your point for vanilla Python docs. Content farm pages can be more helpful for quick look ups here.

But if you use Pandas, Numpy, Scipy, etc., you know how fantastic the official docs are. They are much better than content farm crap. And, yet, in these cases, too, Google ranks those sites higher.

I use DDG a lot more, and it has almost replaced Google for me.

I use Google now only for local uses- gas stations near me, restaurants near me, and so on.

I also highly encourage you to try code.you.com and phind.com. I have been very happy with them.
I am very disappointed in myself and in their trade in offer. I made the switch from Android to iOS after 15 years or so of being an Android die hard in July, with the intention of considering the 15 as a trade in. They offered me £635 for a 14 Pro Max 256. Less than half what I paid 2 months ago.
> (like say a UI change in a menu item of something not related to medical equipment but is never the less under compliance)

I think regulating UI changes in medical equipment (or in other devices that could potentially kill people) is very much justified: Even if the software is nominally working as intended, if some update made unexpected ui changes that end up confusing the operator, this could lead to dangerous situations just as well as if the software had a bug.

I agree that this would be overblown for ui in non-critical places, but I didn't have the impression there is any heavy-handed regulation in those areas (otherwise, I'd expect we'd see fewer dark patterns and other "ux" redesigns that are clearly for "engagement optimizing" and not to make any task easier for the user)

Could you give some examples of non-medical situations where regulation gets in the way of ui redesigns?
does using the magsafe charger prevent use while charging?
This reminds me of a comment I saw there a few years ago, by an HN user who wears safety goggles every time they leave the house because they once almost walked into a low hanging tree branch.
It litterly is, to the untrained eye, unless you comapare them side by side.
Internal policy documents about how a company handles food are the same thing as internal policy documents about how a company handles speech.
Probably see WiFi upgrades to laptops first before client devices. So another year or two before that gets solved
> See how they already avoid cannibalization of the iPhone business by preventing the iPad to make phone calls.

I think you're a bit out of touch with Apple's design approach. Giving an ability to make phone calls from iPad, like taking photos from it, was already not ridiculous enough. Also, you'd need to have a bag with yourself all the time to carry that slap size device.
Ball lighting will never cease to fascinate me.

The deniers vehemently deny, and outright insult people’s experiences.

The people who say they’ve experienced will be adamant that they have.

Honestly, I hope it’s real and we find a way to replicate it only because it’s so cool.
Phenylephrine for colds and allergies don’t work, FDA panel says
How is Unreal's mobile gaming situation? I haven't worked in mobile game development for a few years, but at least through the 2010s, Unity was an undisputed king of free-to-play mobile games for studios who weren't rich enough to develop their own engines.
Yeah, it seems plausible that they'll do it eventually, but it'll be "the new improved Siri, powered by the Neural Engine and transformer models".
Cases make phones bulkier, sometimes significantly so. No thanks.
Through the cable not wirelessly
> Apple's continued focus on gaming image quality is weird (ray tracing?), since despite Apple Arcade the mobile market still is still dominated by freemium games with simple graphics / lower graphical requirements.

They use the same GPU core design from handheld to desktop, so the improvement will apply everywhere as chips are updated.

I think their strategy is that iOS makes too much money for gaming companies to ignore, which means those companies are going to have an easy time reworking iOS games to target a mouse/keyboard/gamepad UI on Macs, since the two existing platforms (and even their upcoming AR/VR platform) have common APIs and CPU/GPU cores.
Its important to prevent children from cheating on meaningless essays, dontchaknow
I am delighted.
Agree - fwiw, I added "ChatGPT should keep answers brief and direct." as part of my Custom instructions and it's a massive improvement.
Cool. Will be sure to buy in 3 years. I just got a phone last year.
If I got it right, 5x optical zoom is only available in 15 Pro Max, not the normal-sized 15 Pro.
"A huge leap forward for iPhone with a gorgeous new design"

What new design exactly? lol... UBC-C is nice but new design is a stretch...
It's the same price as last year?
The existence of the human race says he is wrong..
Maybe I am wrong, but I thought colder climates already had legal requirements for insulation. Warm climates seem to be the ones with a more lassiez faire attitude. Which is not ideal, but mostly fine? The temperate gradient of 10f to 70f is significantly worse than 90f to 70f.
I think they intend for you to run something idempotent like Ansible that coerces configs into the intended state.

In this case, I think Nginx is trying to avoid the in-fighting that happens between platform teams and the various teams that they serve. Most platforms with static configuration don't make it easy to ACL the platform so that one user can't mess with another user. E.g. it would be hard to automatically prevent one user from trying to take another's domain name.

This config API could be ACL'ed so that you can update your application code, but not change it's domain name or IP. Or whatever else the platform team wants to cut off. This hopefully comes with ACLs like that, but if it doesn't you could always add it in a standard way with a reverse proxy that has ACLs. That's a lot easier to do than trying to write an nginx config parser to make sure platform users aren't tinkering with a particular setting in their config.
They were ignoring Micro-USB long before that.
That actually does sound pretty fun haha
I m stunned that a company like Apple sold leather cases for a premium price with a quality that you can only call trash.

Every 10 dollar knockoff from AliExpress had better quality than this.

Not selling these anymore is not a big loss.
Triboluminescence? Could it be the quake breaking light-emitting crystals?
I would argue you now know what COVID did to you that one time. You do not know what COVID will do to you.
Malware distributor Storm-0324 facilitates ransomware access
NatGas power plants typically have an efficiency above 55% and most heat pumps operate well above a COP of 2 unless it is super cold.

But your point #2 is dead on. The best path to decarbonization is electrification, and expensive electricity is going to slow that down dramatically.
Disagree. Unity is pretty strong on mobile and multi-plattform. Enough to survive on this alone (imo). I also think Blueprints is already a strong competitor for the share of users who find C++ too complicated (non-programers and people who have only dabbled in scripting). I think for "traditional programers" the difference between C++ and C# isn't big enough to make a difference and frankly people with a gamedev background probably prefer C++.

That being said as a non mobile guy who occasionally dabbles in engine stuff I'll be migrating to Unreal for good now. I haven't been a paying customer for a while now but I used to pay for Unity back in the super early days of AR.

Or I guess take another serious look at Godot :D
It's interesting that even big money can't buy mojo.
No, I think you connect a cable from the iPhone's charge port to the AirPod's charge port.

Apple's page says this under the USB-C section:

>The new USB-C connector lets you charge your Mac or iPad with the same cable you use to charge iPhone 15. You can even use iPhone 15 to charge Apple Watch or AirPods. Bye-bye, cable clutter.

With a footnote that leads to this:

> The included USB‑C Charge Cable is compatible with AirPods Pro (2nd generation) with MagSafe Charging Case (USB‑C).
Blur identity, not the whole person.
iOS 17 to Launch on September 18
If they don't, an entire team of designers may lose their jobs. It has to be new or refreshing, otherwise what's the point of buying a new one?
This looks awesome! Tangential question - do you find GPT function calling to work consistently and without error, or do you get errors when using it? By errors I mostly mean incorrect function signatures/types or missing values...but if you see other unpredictable behavior that would help too.
I completely agree that in terms of nefariousness of industrial facilities, wind turbines are quite ok (in comparison with other energy infrastructure). But since you're talking about what they replace, i can't help but mention that they almost never replace anything, they're meant to absorb growing demand. That's the single biggest argument for global critics like degrowth: we always talk about switching to better X, but most of the time we also keep the old ones running. We typically picture coal usage as having peaked in the 19c with these images of london in smoke, but in fact it has never been as high as say last year (i didn't look at the numbers, but its basically a steady upwards trend for every primary resource since 200y). Rule of thumb your energy consumption is proportional to your GDP (it's actually pretty accurate).

So that's why, sure, wind or renewable (or even nuclear to some lesser extent) is better than fossil in some ways, but this in itself, in our current system, won't translate to much unless our prime effort goes to first maintain consumption at a steady level and then actually reduce it.

But i'm getting a bit off-topic! :)
I made an app to get a new AI wallpaper automatically every morning
How could I improve?
From rumours [1] it is being worked on.

Apple isn't the sort of company to rush something out just to be competitive.

There's a better zoom in the Pro Max. 5x.

This is consistent with all the rumors, which were all-in on "the biggest Pro is getting the new camera tech".
I guess they need such hardware for the Apple Vision Pro, and are working with several heavily NDA-ed companies to get software out that uses it when that launches.
I don't think that will happen until Godot has an asset store with as much content as Unity.
Ask HN: Which iPad would you buy for reading technical books in 2023?
I frequently read technical books in PDF and generally read a lot.

I have always thought that iPad is useless for me when there's a laptop and phone but after a whole day of using my laptop I just switch to my phone. The screen is not small (at around 6 inches), but it's of course not enough for comfortable reading.

I know very little about iPads, to be honest, so the number of models available is frustrating. Overall, it seems that iPad 9th gen and iPad Air 5th gen are of great value and I definitely don't need the more expensive models. That said, even between these two models there is a huge price difference.

Which model would you personally buy now?
I assume you'd still need a viable mother to grow the clone in. Easy with dogs, but who will carry the mammoth?
Go figure..
you may have a usb c connector, but there's no way to know what protocol or current it supports.
Ahhh yes, now that makes sense.

Point taken!
America has a private beach problem
In some Northeast states, as little as 12% of beachfront is available to the public. But there's an interesting legal doctrine that suggests some "private" beaches might not really be private.
* USB-C

* Nice camera upgrade on the pro (for people who really care about the focal length/etc)

* Satellite roadside assist in US

* Spatial video looks great. Even if I can't play it back yet, I can begin recording things with it now to render it in the future. I think that's big.

* Custom button vs. vibrate toggle: As long as the haptic feedback distinguishes between vibrate and ringer and silent, then it is suitable. I just need to know what setting it's on while it's in my pocket.
$829 for everyone not using Verizon.

Edit: this is incorrect, iPhone 15 starts at $799 for all.
The leaves look a lot like raspberry leaves.
I think this was also a hyped feature of the PS5 when paired with specific Sony headphones.
Right, so all attacks now go:

1. Send payload to a process (image in a browser say)

2. Use payload to get code execution

3. If your current process has all the access you need then go forth and conquer; else

4. Send a payload to another process, go to step 2

Sandboxes are mitigations and roadblocks that increase the complexity of an attack they don’t make them go away.
This is so wrong it's painful. Consider how difficult that would be to prove: starting with the question "What came first: money or places of worship?"
But with just two clocks, the distribution isn't evident. They could both be running fast and thus the average would be worse than the clock showing the earlier time. You'd have no way of knowing without consulting more clocks.

Also, with clocks you should be measuring the rate at which they measure time. Typically clocks can run fast or slow which means that the time shown is a function of how long they've been running since they were last correct.
I didn't downvote this, but I will criticize this analysis: it's good to look at factors beyond COP (although 2 is the lower end of the COP that I would expect from a heat pump, not the average that I would expect), but this fails to go all the way and look at the ultimate problem: warming potential. And the warming potential of burning natgas in a home is still way higher than using a heat pump powered by a natgas plant, because methane is an extremely potent greenhouse gas and because our natgas infrastructure is notoriously leaky.
I have had a company mandated iPhone for about 4-5 years.

First year, I tried to transfer data via USB.

After I accepted that Apple hates me personally and does not want me to transfer any of my voice memos, photos, or videos, or documents, or files via USB (I don't have a macbook), you are indeed correct and I'm one of those people who does not make a data connection via USB to my iPhone. But while stat is true, as with all such stats, devil is in the details :).
I use Brave Search pretty regularly. I'm not going to say it's better than Google, but in my experience, it's a not-too-distant second.
Since when did Apple make decisions on consumer satisfaction?
There is no real business advantage or value add to switching CI/CD systems. The only people that do it no longer have anyone working for them that knows how the existing CI/CD system works, so the new person just replaces it with something else. They're all basically the same crap. Run a job, evaluate its output, maybe run another job, send a notification.

Whenever you run into a problem with a CI/CD system, it's because the system is "opinionated" and "tightly integrated", but of course lacks some obscure and subtle capability that you need to solve a problem. The fact that you are using a specific CI/CD system is what dooms you to eventually need another one to solve the problem that you current one cannot solve.

It's ridiculous that here we are in 2023 and nobody has completed an open source project that replaces general use CI & CD (for modern best practices & use cases; Jenkins is a curse from the pit of hell). Both CI & CD are just loops of jobs and logic that then decides what next job to run. What those jobs do are all different, but so what? Make an open source library of jobs and logic.

(for what it's worth, Drone.io is the best system I've ever used, and WoodpeckerCI is the open source equivalent, but it doesn't have a large community so work is very slow)
they forced apple to replace a good connector with a worse one
Wow, someone or more got really aggressive flagging you, they even flagged this comment for some reason.
Can't we have something for the command line that takes the form of

You can use ios17 today, it works great
If one breaks, then the other cable can carry both.
They don't support wireless charging from phone to airpods. That would be great, and is available on some android devices. This was referring to being able to charge your airpods or watch by plugging them into your phone with a cable.
Rum & Guinness sounds like an interesting combination. I have to try it.
Imperial College London conducted a COVID-19 human challenge clinical trial. The risk to healthy subjects without comorbid conditions is extremely low.

This post made me think of human hierarchies. Line level ICs are cheap because they are specialized and fine tuned. Leet code is a way to roughly measure degree of fine-tuning even though it doesn't accurately measure how well the fine tuning is for the job.

As you go up the hierarchy what you want is higher quality answers to more and more abstract and general questions.

AGI, God, CEOs, and figures like Paul Graham, Elon Musk etc.. all answer to various degrees the ultimate abstract question of "What is the meaning of gestures wildly at everything"

Cost efficiency and commoditization basically increases "how" capacity at the cost of "why" capacity
I think the entire industry is. Many aspects have reached their peaks, more isn't always better, phone screens for example. CPU performance hasn't improved as fast as previously either. Things are faster and going to get even faster, but not in massive leaps.

I imagine they are or will start trickling "new" features. Be it USB3/4, Thunderbolt, WiFi 7 (or higher bandwidth light or UWB standards). Just because the other races aren't offering much besides better numbers.
> and the thinnest borders on iPhone.

I must be the only consumer who despises the thin edges on my current iPhone 14 pro. I'd like to be able to hold my phone and not randomly trigger edge-sensitive gestures like "scroll to top" (that you can't disable!).
It is not energy free to extract, store, and transport natural gas, and often it is more wasteful than producing electricity (hydro, solar, wind, etc). Plus, presuming that electricity is coming from fossil fuels when they are only a percentage of generation, and virtually the entire world is working to reduce that use every single day as the second part of the process of switching to sustainable energy, is a limited perspective.

In terms of cost, you likely won't save money in many markets, but as long as it does not cost more you are still not behind on that front.

It is also much, much easier to produce electricity at home than extract fossil fuels, and individual energy independence has great value for many people.
Has increased volume in 0DTE options pushed the implied volatility of such options above or below fair value? If retail clients were mostly buying such options you'd expect their implied vols to get expensive.
