I think that speaks more towards the author than higher education.

Definitely a tangent, but attributing that attitude to higher education is like someone attributing a doctor saving their life to an act of god. Like yeah if you squint I guess that’s true.

My experience with higher education has been that of administrators taking advantage of my naivety for profit, elitism towards those not in academia, and dismissal of any ideas that wouldn’t directly result in a grant or a good headline.

I wouldn’t really say that the author’s “mettle” is a result of the same environment.
Respectfully, AI is a core issue in the strikes in Hollywood right now, and a whole industry has been out of work for months now.
I think a sentences like "the Russian spy stole American military secrets", "a hacker stole my password" and "a very slow cross-site SVG filter attack stole a copy of my pixels" are perfectly valid and clear English.

Piracy is the odd-one-out because it's about "stealing" non-secret information, which seems non-sensical.
Very similar to the music industry, where technology has made producing music so easy the market is growing by tens of millions of new songs every year.

The slices of pie are getting very thin indeed. Especially when there are only a few pie delivery services to choose from and they take their slice first.

I'm not sure I get your point. I don't own a car, and I rent my apartment. So... 0 in both cases? (unless vacuuming once a week counts as maintenance, then add a dozen minutes). I definitely don't feel like I have any significant burdens other than my paid job.
So we should allow random app stores and browsers and magically keep the privacy?

Yeah 100% the other stores will not allow for private APIs and circumvent privacy protections and anti-tracking mechanisms. I would 100% believe Facebook on the App Store vs Facebook on the Meta store will be the same…

Good lord, body { max-width: 600px; } why in 2023, not everyone is reading this on an iPhone, and even if some were, that's why @media exists.
Life is about compromises. Sometimes people value a specific set of hardware and software support that comes with Apple devices even if they have to make certain trade-offs versus the competition.

At least in my case, I wasn't attracted to the iPhone because of forced Webkit and the Lightning port.
If I'm not special, I can't wait for an alien to come tell me about it. Just squash me and my insignificant plans.

I’ve … never piped curl for home assistant.
Yeah it’s all very stupid. We got rid of it all and are grateful to have dimmer switches on the walls. The occasional smart socket is nice but home lighting is a solved problem that phones don’t make better.
Sure, there are companies that choose not to be in a particular jurisdiction, like Meta has long chosen not to be in China.

But it’s a lot easier to make that choice early when you don’t need to give up on revenue. In Apple’s case, leaving EU would mean losing around $90 billion in annual revenue and ceding a large chunk of their global market share to Android. It’s really hard to justify that kind of thing to shareholders by “we didn’t want to open some APIs in our operating system.”
I have the freedom to choose between Google or Apple. That’s not very free at all.
In my experience, enforcing log-in for for this kind of consumer product done for the sake of security, rather than user hostility. Internet connected hardware on a home network is a very attractive attack vector, especially if commands are unauthenticated.
Yes, it can. You can store Secure Notes in your keychain with Keychain Access on macOS.

After a few days with ZigBee I was ready for an extended vacation. Finally got rid of the whole thing and everything is on a dedicated WiFi network now that is an integral part of the house, in other words: if I sell this house that WiFi network + all HA stuff goes with it including a nice manual of how it all hangs together.

Highly recommended: Shelly gear, it is easy to configure and seems to be rock solid, I've got a bunch of their remote control radiator valves, several remote control relays and a tri-phase consumption/production meter. It all worked flawlessly since installation. And instead of a regular Pi I got one that was built into a keyboard. It was mostly because I couldn't get a bare one but in the end I think this was the better option.
Facebook’s shady coding in the past was all using sanctioned APIs, including the VPN it was using to spy on teens. With a private store also goes the static analysis of private API usage, which can enable software some looser restrictions (but not much, as some fear—most stuff is protected for at the kernel level).

You make a good point. However I think Wix's competitor was not developers. It's competitor was businesses just going without a website.
Yeah, you could always just curl it first and see what it’s going to do.

They only really care about enterprise customers as is pretty obvious, but they haven’t QUITE made it crappy enough for me to bother switching to keychain entirely.

> You are not guaranteed a right to install a Windows app on your iPhone, or iPhone apps on Windows.

This is a complete red herring and a very sly one at that.

Sure, MS have no obligation to make it so that Safari can run on Windows.

However, Microsoft also cannot stop Apple from building a version of Safari that runs on Windows. Or iTunes on Windows. And when Apple built iTunes on Windows MS had no right to force them to fork over 30% of every song they sold within iTunes to MS. MS had no right to force Mozilla to build Firefox around the IE6 engine, or Chrome around IE6.

It’s very likely Apple, Google, or Mozilla would not have existed if governments (specifically the EU) hadn’t stopped Microsoft from pushing it’s options as the default, never mind blocking alternatives altogether.
I like the idea of local home automation. “Siri, make the bathroom lights dark blue”

Problem is, it comes with a ton of headaches.

The cloud is a problem, as you noted, but also a bunch of fiddily, unreliable software, firmware updates that go haywire, and apps that are tied to iOS and will stop working with my physically installed home hardware if the manufacturer ever stops treading water and fails to update for the latest breaking iOS update.

Home automation could be simple, reliable, and future-proof. It’s really not, though.
I do think it’s unlikely, or at least unlikely to happen before the damage is done and we’re stuck with a permanent browser engine monoculture.

If they were rolling out policy to quash anticompetitive behavior in the browser space along with requiring Apple to open iOS up I’d be much more comfortable. The two should go hand in hand. I don’t want Google to have any opportunity to entrench Chrome/Blink on iOS.
You should reach out to them, they're looking for developers with background in the markets.
Being a Luddite and a Dunce (John Duns Scotus) is not a bad thing.
Yabai can eliminate it entirely (after it's updated for Sonoma), if you don't mind disabling SIP.
As mentioned in my post the NextSTEP integration - OSX - was a major branding effort for Apple. It was the reason for Job's return to Apple and was seen as the savior of the company. I think Apple wanted something to hang their hats on that lived for many years.

It's weird and clunky, but makes sense in the history of the company as all previous OSes were numbered. Yes, they probably should have moved off that convention earlier, probably by the time the Intel integration had happened at the very least.
Being fired is a professional repercussion, if not necessarily a wealth-related one.

Has anyone run this on a Mac with M1 chip with GPU acceleration enabled?

I did my first hello world fine-tuning of Llama2 today, using Google Colab and various pieces of code. So no resume from checkpoint, I had to specify the number of epochs manually and no tracking of the loss and I didn't get the lora weights extracted, with llama2 7B I ended up with a 13gb gguf file, that I have successfully tried out locally with llama.cpp and its webui.

The axolotl seems like a nice project that hopefully makes the fine tuning easier.
To quote pg, “The aim of web design is not to use all available screen space. It is legibility. Text is most legible with no more than 70 characters per line.”
If you don't like having "the big light" on then colour changing and dimmable lights are great. A lot of people don't feel qualified to install actual dimmer switches.

I only set mine to warm, cold and purple/blue but I don't have room for three lamps.

Stuff like the sunrise timer, switching lights on when you're on holiday, and out of home control are just gimmicks though.
> The rumors are that the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro will launch with a promise of 7 years of updates

I’m not sure promises by Google are worth anything at this point.
> Any Tuya compatible device can be flashed to work with Tasmota.

Hm, no not really. I have a bunch of remote controlled sockets that can't be reflashed with Tasmota and that require a ridiculous number of hoops to jump through to access including enabling 'developer mode' and access from a bunch of IPs in China. No thanks... really annoying because it was exactly one of those comments that caused me to buy them in the first place.
Just as the fact nobody is testing nuclear weapons suggests they don't exist.
Priced decent. Where do you pair new stuff? In their interface or homekit?
Yes, Apple is pretty good about privacy. That'll be one reason for Meta and others to create their own stores.
Except usage of private APIs?

You don't have to go AliExpress, but you can. HomeAssistant can run a stupid number of integrations:

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/#all

...including all the big names like Hue. Nest. Ring. Yale. Schlage. Ikea. HomeKit. Plex. Sonos. Alexa. Sure, you can integrate arbitrary digital/MQTT/Zigbee/BLE stuff you find on AliExpress for pennies, or you can buy the name-brand stuff from big box stores.

You're not locked into just the Hue ecosystem just because you have their bulbs. I don't understand why HomeKit doesn't just talk to the bulbs instead of allowing Phillips to force you to go through their hub. This is on Apple for not supporting the lights directly.
I quit trusting Philips when they sold one of my customers 40W LED grow bars that weren't even close to 40w. They were 15W, as measured by Kill-A-Watt directly-connected.

Philips is a lying corporation as far as I can tell.
The lights in my house turn on and off with the rhythm of our lives. We don’t think about turning a light on or off. They do that by themselves. My home knows when the dishwasher is done. My home can silence alerts if I’m on a zoom call. My home knows if the air quality is low and doesn’t turn on the ventilator fan.

Automation is not about having an app for your lights, it’s about not having to think of trivial stuff like turning on a light.
IF you have an app that allows that. All of the apps I've used required a WAN connection first. One app required an immediate firmware update for the bulbs to even work. I imagined it similar to game devs releasing shiny round discs. Just put something on the disc so that it can be sent to replication in time for street date, but have it immediately for a full "update" of the code that gave the devs 6 additional weeks. I'd be amazed if there was even game code on the disc at this point.
One of the big benefits of Hue, as alluded to in this article, is that you didn’t need to use their cloud services or share any data. But that seems to be what is changing. Before, you could just run everything locally on your home network, or really on an isolated subnet since most of the communication happens over Zigbee. It is nice to have automation capabilities for some scenarios to avoid rewiring or to customize lighting for different purposes in the same space with one controller.

But if you don’t personally need it, you also don’t really need to drop in and bash the concept. It is useful for lots of folks and it’s just a fun game for lots of other folks. And most people can just ignore it.
I’ve been using Windows for 25 years now. Please don’t lecture me about its reliability, especially in the last 15 years. I’m also having a weekly kernel panic on my M1 Max Mac, a sight unseen on any of my Windows machines for more than a decade, even when using beta nVidia drivers.
> Why do you think fingerprinting is hard?

They did manage to answer this question in their comment. It’s the entire last sentence. (It also seems fairly well implied that they mean “iOS fingerprinting is currently hard” given the topic of discussion.) I don’t see how I could reliably fingerprint if so many APIs require user permission. It might be possible but I don’t see easy.

Assuming the 9th circuit allows it. Some companies are taking orders already, but they say they won't ship until the ten days are up. I can confirm however, that some companies have shipped magazines into California outside freedom-week in the past so I'd just order and see.
Maybe static analysis can be imposed at the OS level, like macOS notarization?

I don't think the regulators are going to mandate that Apple not retain any consumer-protecting mechanisms.
The school security enhancements are problematic. We are now looking at schools much like we look at prisons. Constant training on "code red" or "intruder" drills that simulate active shooter scenarios with students present. We are creating a culture of fear where even at school you could be attached and killed by a madman. Secured entryways .. fences... constant tracking of students of every metric imaginable.. always back to school "security".

Have any of these "code red" security upgrades prevented a school shooting event?

What kind of institution do we want our children to attend? What do we want them to learn?

I am all for safety in schools but are we responding to a real risk... or are we responding to more a culture of fear and political reaction?

What are the real risk to our children? Obesity? Diet. Exercise.. Social / emotional connections. Are we investing our tax money on the right things?
I hope you meant Zigbee dongle instead of Z-Wave. Hue devices use Zigbee and can be directly paired to Home Assistant using a Zigbee dongle, but not using a Z-Wave dongle.
For what it's worth, I use zigbee for my smart home, with a hubitat. It's connected to homekit, and it's been painless (except for the part where you have to manually add things to homekit from the hubitat).

Thread/matter promise to put this garbage to sleep, finally. The smart-home offerings from the major vendors allow all devices, without vendorlock (so far).
Right? I felt stupid for having read the rest of his post when I saw this nonsense and I closed the tab.
Why not McMaster Carr or even Digikey?

I’m sure Amazon has put a sizable dent in their sales without even really trying.

Amazon now has special search tools for buying fasteners that make it easier to find exactly what you need.

Prices are cheap, risk is high, but prices are cheap.
Right, but I can trust a decent C developer to use it safely in the simple parts, especially with tooling like valgrind to detect obvious bugs. The only part where I'd say the usual "nobody is perfect" is in the hard parts.
I definitely have a small setup, but getting ZigBee running was fairly straightforward. Two steps: 1) buy a ConBee dongle and 2) install and setup Zigbee2MQTT.

I’ve never dealt with Matter, though.
Wow, disagree - I find that the sweet spot with a rack is very small, maybe 2-3 minutes. Outside of that, it's either too pink or overdone. Maybe it's just me :(

For me, the easiest lamb cut to cook is shoulder - just throw it in a low oven for 3+ hours (with some white wine, rosemary, parsley, garlic and lemon), and it's the most delicious lamb you've ever had!
This seems fine on desktop. Besides phone users can be biggest whiners about not being able to read some blog, article etc as it is not phone optimized. So for better or worse (IMO worse) they have established primacy on how websites should be designed or configured.
iOS isn’t as sandboxed as they claim.

From IOKit to getifaddrs() to file system APIs, there are straightforward ways to uniquely identify a device — and I’m sure someone who actually works in this space can think of quite a few more.

Hell, even if you make it a hard problem and sandbox every possible source of unique information about the device, I’m sure Google would be happy to throw ML engineers at identifying users via impossible-to-obscure user information (keyboard timings, accelerometer readings, etc).

Preventing misuse of PII requires a policy/legal solution, not a technical one.

We can't put all the burden on the employer. At the end of the day, nobody could possibly care more about your health than you yourself. If people ignore risks knowingly, then it's their own personal fault.

American Standard has a large factory in my homeland Bulgaria and people from my hometown commute more than an hour and such commute in Bulgaria is rare, but they do it for the good salary. Although the factory passes EU regulations, which I honestly doubt due to the huge level of corruption and widespread respiratory health issues of workers.

So, everybody knows that they will get sick if they work there long enough, yet, they do it, because of the money and job security!

So, sometimes, even when people know the risks, they still harm themselves for money!
They don't have to. They could get their own distribution channel. Distribution is a thing, you can't just complain that you don't have it for free.
I use the Ikea lights and bridge, although mine is a few years old at this point. Everything just works and I've maybe had 1 issue in just over 4 years. Easily integrates with either Google Home or HomeKit or HA. My only complaint is (my) bridge needs hardwire ethernet access and each bridge only supports 5 devices. I bought one of the wireless physical switches which seemed like it would come in handy, but the battery died pretty quick. Not a big deal though as I never used it anyway, but having the option was nice.
Anyone knows if one can run custom code on these?
I like your wording because it reveals that I generally (but not always) lack goals that are more important to me than being right, and it explains the situations in which being right takes the back-seat.
I doubt that the machine is even one order of magnitude less efficient.

The power supplies on that Alpha are 500W and even fairly low end Supermicro systems have 600W supplies.

The biggest differential is probably the efficiency of the power supply.

This logic breaks down for hardware vendors don’t allow access to an underlying Linux system the IoT device is running on. The malware looks for easy targets to get root on - not so much turning on and off lights.
Somehow on migrating to a new iPhone the music app decided it needed full notification permissions, apparently because a new Taylor swift album is of the same notification level as an incoming missile strike.

There are always so many blindly pro-business comments on stories like this, like when the Theranos stuff was happening, people were saying "come on, she was just pitching big returns and innovations like any start-up does," ignoring the difference between pitching and straight-up lying or deliberately misleading investors about current facts. Similarly, it seems like many commenters are defending Amazon not based on the facts or legalities of the situation, but just from a place of being more emotionally sympathetic to a giant corporation trying to make a lot of money through various business tactics.

We don't have a surplus of regulation in the US (contrary to what Republicans who want to get rid of the EPA, FDA, etc would say). When we actually have laws that say things like, you can't union-bust, you can't defraud investors, you can't behave monopolistically--and there may be subtleties to those laws that most people don't understand--and companies go so far as to violate those laws, it's a very good thing when they face consequences.
The only soap you can't use on cast iron is lye soap. That does strip that polymer smooth black coating. Basically it turns the patina into more soap.

I think it comes down to what we expect the second order effects to be.

Those who argue that forcing Apple to open up their ecosystem is a good thing appear to believe that increased user freedom will lead to more option for all and increase freedom further. Those of us who argue that being forced to open their ecosystem is a bad thing believe (speaking personally) that any user freedom added would quickly be lost and set further back than we started as larger organizations would end up strong-arming or tricking users into giving away their freedom or fear missing out.

Personally I think we all want to see long-term user freedom, and I think whether we expect it to move forward or backward is what differs between us seeing this as good or bad.
