Congratulations to Google on having finally realized their rent-collecting dream. As the company discovers that this revenue stream requires almost no work, I look forward to the slow degradation of every other business line as the company transitions over the next twenty years to 'digital landlord' status.
Correction: iMessage is offered as a value-add to people who purchase supported Apple hardware (iPhones, Macs, iPads, Apple Watches).
You're overly angry about something you either don't understand or haven't experienced. The color of the bubble meaningfully signifies that the existence of that person in a chat is degrading the chat experience for everyone else. As an Android user, it is awful to be in an iMessage group chat, and the iPhone users don't appreciate my presence any more. Basically nothing works properly, and it sucks... and this is by design to create lock-in via network effect.

Yes, I think creators who see negative comments here should try to
internalize some mental jujitsu: If you are being criticized excessively, you’ve created something good enough to attract attention and be taken seriously.
Ok, I'll download lean4 and read the tutorials. Everything else I've tried that Prof. Tao has suggested has worked well. I didn't really realize that proof software had advanced so far. I tried to do a project in undergrad to put a lot of ZFC into Prolog but it was just too early to work.
Your literally talking about WhatsApp and Telegram as if they aren't their own segregated microcosms you can't message from whatsapp to telegram for instance so obviously they are their own segregated users by platform, its just a software platform not a hardware platform.
As the pendulum swings :)

I love the idea of on-premise for small startups (or solo startups) because it shifts the operational/oncall burden to the customer.

Also "on-premise" in 2023 can easily mean something deployable to a customer's AWS/Azure/GCP account.
Geting is swedish for wasp. Would be a cool domain name, shame it is taken.
It's not that "justice is executed by systems", it's that possible crimes will be flagged by AI systems for humans to then review.

eg AI will analyze stock trades for the SEC and surface likely insider trading. Pretty sure they already use tools like Palantir to do exactly this, it's just that advanced AI will supercharge this even further.
Apple charges people to use iMessage by requiring you to use their hardware
I'm not sure what qualifies as "old" -- I would use finger if anyone still launched xinetd by default. I use sftp a bit. That's probably better supported than ftp, but has essentially the same user experience. I use IRC as well as discord and, of course, I use SMTP and IMAP quite a bit. I set up a Gopher server about a decade ago and it looks like I forgot about it and it hasn't been active for the last 5 years. I think three people visited it over 5 years.

Oh. I'm trying to setup a Genera server, and it requires NFSv2, so I think that counts as an "old" protocol. And honestly, Microsoft's lackluster support of mDNS in WSL has me thinking I'm going to launch an NIS/Yellow Pages + NFS/Home Directory server in my house so I can use host names instead of IP addresses for my home LAN with WSL.

I'm just sort of remembering when I worked for Convex in the early 90s. We had a bazillion x/terminals and NIS/NFS, so you could wander around the building and log in anywhere. The X/Terminals knew how to authenticate you using NIS and your home directory would follow you from supercomputer to supercomputer. I think some people had set up virtual desktops so when you logged out of one X/Terminal and logged into the next, your desktop bounced back up right where you left off.

Oh. And we had fiber to the terminal so a couple machines could do video conferencing between our buildings and the UT Dallas campus next door.

Ah. The good old days, when stuff just worked (obviously I'm not talking about video conferencing here. Dang if that wasn't nearly impossible to set up. But everything else was pretty seamless.)
> I am shocked that everyone is so shocked by the sheer existence

Huh? It's not being shocked, the legitimate question is what is Apply going to do? Saying you are shocked does not answer the question, if people buy into Beeper how likely is it that they lose functionality due to an Apple lock out?
Thanks! Appreciate the responses. I'll forward things to the interested parties. They're already all atwitter about the potential for a direct Signal reimplementation like the imessage one. That might just be the ticket!
Also in many countries Android is a sign of your social/economic class as many such headsets are super inexpensive compared to an iPhone.

If Apple started a new color "purple," that indicates sent via iPhone 15 Max well then that would be a further marketing boost for the multiple millions of ppl who care about social class & flaunt it. Apple overall is a luxury brand another one of their marketing strategies.
Last time I checked, everyone knows SMS is cleartext and can't take over your phone in the profound way built-in 1st party apps/services you emphatically cannot remove (only toggle) can seize the means of production so to speak.

Good thinking comrade. Enjoy people's glorious RusNet that is most popular.
It’s more than blue bubbles.

If you send multimedia to Android users from iPhone, it’s sent on MMS which turns video quality into a potato.
Open source won the browser battle versus proprietary browsers, but it feels like FSF style "free software" is losing the war. Chrome is certainly open source but product development is completely dominated by Google. Google drives the web standards; they design the "reference" browser; as Google shifts to maintain ad-driven profit margins they're positioned to displace ad blockers.

It doesn't matter if they Manifest V3 implementation is open sourced; If Web Environment Integrity is ultimately implemented then having access to the source doesn't really buy you anything. In a future where WEI is mandatory then being able to build Chromium without WEI empowers you to run a browser that's summarily locked out of services that demand WEI.

Open source mattered much more when simple access to source code gave users meaningful freedom but we're transitioning away from that era. Google is on the path to make open source irrelevant by providing an open source browser that must be built with the Google-specified set of features in order to operate correctly.

We can't claim a victory when open source software implements embrace-extend-extingush semantics.
They need to install the app, which is free. What they don't need to do is buy an iPhone, which is not free.
I read this blog post[1] a while back about the Windows memory subsystem performing pathologically bad due to an application (Google Chrome) asking the OS to employ memory throttling, and then blowing past its own self-imposed limits. I had a bit of a chuckle because I've literally run into, and complained about this before, so getting to see how silly it was under-the-hood was great schadenfreude.

These "background-friendly" processes are a sick joke IMO. My experience is they are wasting more power trying to play these stupid games, because by increasing the wall-time it takes to finish their workload, all they really achieve is keeping the CPU in a frequency-boosted state longer than necessary.

Just go fast and let the scheduler throttle you. If the browser updater is making a user-interactive system fall over: their code needs to be better, and the OS kernel needs to be better. If you are doing too much work the answer is "do less work" not "load-smear the frankly ludicrous amount of CPU and I/O." I think it's very indicative of how far desktop software has fallen that people seem to think adding more complexity (in the form of user-mode scheduling) is going to dig them out of the performance hole they dug themselves into.

What do you mean by UI elements defined as ruby components? Are you referring to ViewComponents or something else?
If an Android user is added to a group message and changes everyone to green that will be sending over SMS, right? I've not used SMS in a while - does that still come with costs?

Just throwing a thought at your question, I have no opinion on people based on their message background colour haha
It's far worse still: films like Enemy of the State (1998) actually inspired spy technology.

Transfomers use positional embeddings. The embedding of "a" in first position in word will be (slightly) different from embedding of "a" in second position of the word, roughly. These positional encodings are also sums of the actual embedding of a token (which can be a character) and encoding of a position.

These words you presented as example are used in different contexts. You hardly will find something like "pooped despair" or "deep abyss of praised." The context will guide LM into different paths even when embeddings are same, neural LM's will learn that for sure.

(in fact, I used a sorted context prefix in one of LMs I reseached (order-4 or longer features, to save memory used by SNMLM) and I saw little to no difference in perplexity)

Also, the difference between LMs is the training corpus, among other things. We do not know how these things are trained, the corpora is not generally accessible. Oftentimes we do not even know token vocabulary! How many tokens are there, how long they are, etc.

What you ascribe to powerfullness can be a difference in training and data prepocessing.
They are hardware agnostic, iMessage is restricted to users of very specific hardware.
Modern games you don't need to unless the boss changed depending on the loot and even then it would be tangential. Don't forget this is EQ2 we're talking about internet back then was sloooooow and online games of that type were pretty new so designs and security were still being sorted out. Now you know from the beginning that any useful information about the enemy and world will be pried out of your game so you go through the whole anti-cheat cat and mouse game.
Ah OK! No, the top link seems to be the same as before.

My Scenario 1. wasn't about some rogue employee, only about unstructured development process, possibly even with no version control.

So there's this one developer that adds the shady code, asked by a higher-up, but other developers don't even know about it if they don't look into those files. And so no-one has a chance to analyze if it's safe to add the code.

Or maybe there's version control, but anyone can commit to `develop`. And so you see a weird commit from someone else, but that's it.

The only _maybe_ non-criminal but still very shady and unethical way to do it that I can quickly come up with, is if there was a formal process for adding those "hacks" would be to implement it as any other feature, perform a full safety analysis, etc., just as I can imagine it's done for regular stuff.

But then I cannot really imagine how I would answer the question about deliberately messing with train subsystems, in a train that could be running >100km/h, full of passengers...
It is fascinating how the "corporations are people" ideological bent has been internalized by so many. You see discussions all the time in these comments where people argue that "is" implies "ought" when it comes to the strategies and tactics implemented by (the people within) these powerful companies.
That's not a JIT. It uses `libgccjit` (IIRC the name), but the native code is produced ahead-of-time. JITs compile using info available on runtime, and native-comp doesn't do that. LuaJIT, by contrast, is a "real" JIT. Still, native-comp does speed things up considerably.
The switch and router terminology distinction has become fairly meaningless at enterprise level hardware as discussed in that comment. The same corporate access or top-of-rack "switch" is just as capable of layer 3 routing as it of layer 2 network handling. This happened because the desire to expand a layer 2 fabric across multiple physical switches basically reinvented a lot of layer 3 concepts on layer 2. The silicon is the same for both, just different algorithms.

Part of the problem is that for all everyone (rightly) drags the Bureau, they also have their hands tied by Congress. You can only promote and move around officers as prescribed by Federal law, and until the Defense Officer Personnel Management Act gets reformed, you're ultimately stuck in the land of up-or-out where folks' promotion clocks are ticking the moment they commission. It's an industrial-age model that's strangely like a union seniority list, but without the employment guarantee.

Building an on-premise deployment requires a maturity of company that is quite rare for a startup to have:

* It’s much easier to do on-prem if you do a monolith, or at least a small number of services.

* You have to build and test your application against a range of OS and hardware combinations. You’ll almost certainly need to support RHEL, and probably Windows Server 20XX. Many companies won’t let you use Docker.

* Your software need to be tolerant of infrequent updates. Customers expect some level of stability in practice.

* You need to integrate licensing checks.

* You need to build an installer (that works out of the box…)

* You’ll need to agnostically support the common parts of SAML/OpenID for Auth only, and not rely on any bespoke features from a commercial provider like Auth0 or AzureAD.
Looking at the pypush, it looks like it uses Mac framework code with a .plist from a real Mac to generate encryption keys. Is beeper sending the metadeta of a genuine mac to the client so the client can generate the encryption keys that Apple will trust?
the va site is vast, to say any one team created the VA site would not be even close to correct.

They did help change over the old va.gov to the new va.gov (which was built as vets.gov), which imo has been a huge improvement.

(There are still many, many problems with the VA and its website. Just saying that 1. the new va.gov is a big improvement and 2. the USDS is far from being a single point of responsibility for it, or even _the_ major point of responsibility)
I don’t disagree that it is better and easier to make cleaner coal plants en masse to reduce pollution. But you do get how that “clean coal” is mostly marketing and also has nothing to do with how much carbon is put into the air?

My point is not “we shouldn’t do evs” and more we are taking too long to electrify cars and this leaves out trucks, ships, and most trains (at least in the US). But that lack of electrification is outmatched by our inability to decarbonize the energy grid worldwide - with the decrease of % energy nuclear, it’s been met with increase in natural gas despite massive spikes in wind and solar. Additionally, since energy demands grow every year (eg electric cars now demand electricity from the grid) total energy is growing which means that despite increasing solar and wind, fossil fuel production has gained market share and total fossil fuel production has also grown. In no way is our grid energy production on a positive direction to becoming decarbonized.
This is the same fallacious trope as "click on irrelevant ads to confuse marketers". People are not good at deceiving algorithms at scale.

Are you thinking of a different solo developer, or a different game, or something else?

Eclipse was the working title for the demo in the article. It was eventually reworked into a game released as X in Japan, and would have been titled Lunar Chase elsewhere.

The closest I can find to a match for what you're describing is Starfox and Starfox 2, but that seems like a stretch.

It will plateau at best. But crowd is never smart, yet can scream.
Domain names in general are a flawed idea.

Had public/private key pair cryptography been further along at the beginning of the web, I think we would have wound up with something like public keys that users add a nickname to. Similar to what we already do with phone numbers, but "ownership" locked to a private key.
I would argue that equating "Decentralization" with "Blockchain" is wrong.
The spam iMessages I've received had the "iMessage" text above, were sent from a seemingly normal phone number and had a "Report Junk" button at the bottom of the screen (which text messages don't have).
I was told mongoloid was the politically correct term to use instead of retarded lol

It's fascinating how we've got this double standard when it comes to Apple and Google's security moves.

Take Safari on iOS, for example—it's super restrictive. You can't even use a different browser engine; everything's just a Safari wrapper.

On the flip side, Google, with its Chrome and Android flexibility, gets a lot of flak for the same kind of security efforts.

Bottom line is both companies are only doing it for their own greed and profits, but Apple gets a high-five for being all about privacy, while Google gets the stink eye for being too controlling. It's incredibly frustrating to see this double standard.
Let me attempt (not sure I agree, but just so I can understand the principle):

You buy a house for $400K and take out a loan of $300K using your $400K home as collateral. There is no gain here. Your net worth has not increased. So there should be no income tax applied.

Later, you want to refinance. Your home is now worth $600K, and you'd like to pay off your existing mortgage and take a new loan out for $500K. This should be considered income! Your net worth has suddenly gained +$200K, and you have realized the gain and are directly benefiting from this through your loan. In principle, you should pay either capital gains or income tax (or something!) on this income. Otherwise, you've found a way to gain income tax-free.

You should pay tax on that gain, and the asset's cost basis should be adjusted to $600K at that point, in case you later sell.
No, and your understanding of it is not reflected by the SCOTUS. You do not need to be in a militia to benefit from the 2nd Amendment or access it.
I'm curious how Apple implements Keychain in the sense that they claim it is also e2ee but they also use e2ee for ADP and its absolutely not (or at least not zero knowledge), rather it is convergent encryption which is not zero-knowledge and also allows for knowledge of filenames and hashes cuz "de-dupe" is so important for people with TB of cloud storage at the expense of their privacy.
This is honestly what scares me the most. Our biases are built in to AI, but we pretend they're not. People will say "Well, it was the algorithm/AI, so we can't change it". Which is just awful and should scare the shit out of everyone. There was a book [0] written almost fifty years ago that predicted this. I still haven't read it, but really need to. The author claims it made him a pariah among other AI researchers at the time.

I dunno if LLMs will get better, but ML in general is a task of compression, and there is definitely a whole bunch of human knowledge and history that neural nets can compress.

Its not unfeasable in the future to have a box at home that you can ask a fairly complicated question, like "how do I build a flying car", and it will have the ability to

- tell you step by step instructions of what you need to order

- write and run code to simulate certain things

- analyze you work from video streams and provide feedback

- possibly even have a robotic arm with attachments that can do some work.
Some google meet features are chrome only (background blur, picture in picture).

> so users don't know what the buttons do.

They do, though. People are able to figure out commercial websites orders of magnitude more easily than figuring out how to fill out their 1040.

> They need to just make their stuff reliably work

Which is what UX and design help with.

> Basic HTML with minimal optional styles checks all of those boxes.

It doesn't. Layout and design are tools that help with clarify and ease-of-use.

> you see that you really just need most websites to be a more convenient version of paper forms.

Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Do you similarly think that your iPhone or desktop interface would be improved if the UX was "a more convenient version of paper forms"?

Paper forms are an extremely limiting form of UX. Why would you ever want to throw out all of the progress we've made with usability?
Thanks.

I haven't noticed downvotes, though. I thought I was just ignored. ;)
At this point we know that Musk improvizes on the fly. He is like ChatGPT- good at presenting made up information in a credible way.

Not to say that he is wrong, but the guy is following pizzagate conspiracies on Twitter in his spare time, which he seems to have tons of.

And by the way, the same interview where his sounds like he is either high, severely sleep-deprived, or both.
This is much shadier than what VW did. VW was working around unrealistic emissions standards -- illegal, sure, but they didn't cause big ticket items to stop working. The train manufacturer here appears to have done something much worse.
I was just looking at this the other night, having moved from Miryoku to Seniply (ZMK[0]) in the "research" phase of ~putting off~ building up my symbol layer preferences. Getreuer's site has been supremely influential to my own layout, for which I ported and re-implemented Auto-Correct and Magic Sturdy (respectively) for ZMK. He recently pushed an up-to-date set of layout showcase images to GH[1]. Just haven't figured out where on my 36-key layout I'll put my repeat key(s) :p

Interested parties could hypothetically find the code on my GH profile bc I had to put it there to use ZMK's GH action builders, but it was my first time learning C and isn't exactly "production ready".

Also just ran into keymap-editor[2]; that's pretty cool!

Tangent(s):

I really appreciate all the work that's going into ZMK, and am by no means an expert on the limitations or architecture that they're working within, but personally feel that the recent macro-parameter implementation fails to elevate the Behavior[3] into a sufficiently powerful construct. I'm trying to imagine how it could offer greater composition and control over an invoked sequence of keycodes, key-positions, and behaviors, but if that ever comes to be, it will be on the shoulders of giants. Development has been very active, and the contributers have done great work.

Shoutout to zmk-nodefree-config[4] and thumbkey[5] for android, which has also been under rapid development from a wide group of contributers (special thx to WadeWT and sslater11 amoung others).
