I don't know how the secure enclave works in detail but if there is a private key inside it that it uses for attestation / signing, presumably it could also have a certificate signed by an internal Apple provisioning CA infrastructure which Apple can verify on their end.

Importantly, this matters even for those older devices that were created without secure enclaves. iMessage still used this PKI architecture back before every new mac/iphone/ipad had a SE.
Awesome!!

I'm an iOS user, and juggle SIMs a lot. For your upcoming iOS app -- what sorts of SIM liveness requirements do you require? I'd love to be able to auth periodically and predictably and then disable my iMessage-aware SIM for some period of time.
Last time I looked they were all talking about jumping ship to Mastodon and Bluesky.

How many actually have is anyone's guess.

Every upgrade?

I've been using firefox since forever (as long as it has existed) and while I was very annoyed when they removed the customizable UI support a few years ago, that's really the one and only time when they broke functionality as far as I've ever been able to notice.

We definitely need more ways to build quick web UIs for Python code. Looks sick!
Have you tried Raycast?
They absolutely do not. This is more of a state of the ecosystem sort of problem. I think a lot of developers were wary of getting into how some of the more esoteric AP objects should work. It's important to note too that while we have a standard in the form of AP a lot of the decisions about norms for these less common message types simply have not been made, but we are definitely moving in that direction as more services add AP integration.
You've prompted me to write a slightly more serious rant on the subject, thank you.

There are incredibly important differences in user experience when picking one instance over the other.

A very small one has a large likelihood to disappear. Each instance has different moderation rules. On a small instance, you don't even see entire threads and lots of other stuff does not sync properly.
Well... I'm not sure about perfect but:

So VPNs or p2p. Nowadays kids are much smarter (or at least, used to tech) than these politicians, to be honest. I don't understand how far from reality they must be.
But doesn't WhatsApp basically do this? Just not yet in most of the world.
> You provided "evidence" in the form of news articles that directly refuted your own claims.

I directly quoted the news article supporting my claims. You can say black is white, but it's not very believable when people can just scroll up and look.
Yeah I've not had any issues. I have nodes they are offline for months when not in use, it doesn't seem to have any effect of you're not using HA.

Just my experience though, YMMV.
I'm confused. You're comparing Twitter's audience today to 10 years ago and you think it has _declined_? How confident are you on that?
I'm sad that basically all Elon/X threads are now full of nearly exclusively lowest possible effort garbage and that no real discussion occurs.

On the topic at hand, it seems obvious that the direction of X is that of authentication (X being where you sign). This news is further proof of that. Along with the checkmark changes among others.
European regulations work on a policy level not on a technical level.

In other words, Apple having technical limitations isn’t illegal per se, Apple refusing to facilitate interoperability might be illegal (although future RCS adoption will meet the requirements).

The above assumes that iMessage meets the regulations threshold, which it currently doesn’t according to Apple based on user numbers, but that’s a different debate.
can somebody explain why everyone so obsessed with getting iMessage on Android?

it's a genuine question, no sarcasm. I the last 12 years of using Android i've never had to send message to iMessage. So i really dont get the hype.

Ask HN: Tools to Find Market Opportunity?
When starting a company, how do you find market opportunities? Are there tools that can help with this research? Anything that can show me which niches have demand but no offer in the market? Any tool that shows pain points with existing solutions on the market?

I'm thinking about starting a company and I want to identify gaps in the market or existing pain points, but I cannot find anything beyond doing user interviews and searching on Reddit, which is very slow and is mostly anecdata.

Do you know of any way to approach this better? If not, what else do you do to get the data?

I get likes now on my tweets and replies! Except they're all bots :)
I mean, WeChat is a great surveillance tool. I guess he was just more literal than we expected when he said he wanted Twitter to be WeChat.
The unions are not "offering" any alternative compensation to the workers, than what Tesla are. There are certain minimums in a collective bargaining agreement, with regard to salary and insurance cover, but as far as I know Tesla at least mostly meets that minimum standard.

What conflict is mostly about, and which a large proportion of the workers don't care about (at Tesla and elsewhere for that matter) is a mutually binding framework for how terms of employment are negotiated.

Tesla (obviously) prefer to retain the possibility to dictate all terms unilaterally, the unions want the worker collective to have a say and the possibility to negotiate. It is a very basic, classic and boring conflict in that sense.

The Swedish model for labour relations is mostly working quite well, both now and for the past 100 years. It works well enough that 90+% of people have no idea about what it is the unions do. In order for the model to work it needs a large part of businesses/unions to participate.

What we are seeing now is an interesting test of the conflict escalation toolbox. I'm not at all sure how it will end. If the unions fail, it might be the start of a general move to a US-style "everyone-fends-for-themselves" labour market, with minimum wages etc regulated by law. (Sweden does not have a minimum wage by law, for example).
I would suspect "modern" has a lot more impact than "browser" (notably, aside from more developer awareness of cheating, I would suspect TLS is far more common now, though that can of course be worked around when you control the client). Browser traffic isn't any different from any other type of traffic, the standard packet sniffing tools (tcpdump, wireshark, mitmproxy, etc.) work just fine.
It's clearly not about what is needed, it's about what is tested. And spending resources on a browser that appears to have 2% of the market is not going to be a high priority.
There is also Chromaprint [1], which works slightly differently. It’s based on pitch change patterns instead of maxima in the spectrum. Chromaprint is used by AcoustID, which is a large open database that links audio fingerprints to MusicBrainz recordings. I find it astonishing how much music is in there despite having not nearly as much commercial backing as Shazam.

What does it do beyond messaging?
Try doing the same thing in your dataset, but don't actually add them as "special tokens", and just let them just be multiple tokens.

Adding new tokens needs a ton of data to train what the token means. Reusing existing tokens, will allow you to easily teach that a sequence of tokens now has a new meaning after fine tuning.
You can use WhatsApp to make purchases both in the app and the real world?
I think about this story a lot. Is it bad it's nearly a price I'd pay?

Is it dumb that I wish more than anything, that I could live forever? All I wish, is that I could learn all there is to learn, see all there is to see, and create many beautiful things. It is so sad to me that I will die before we solve the immortality problem.
If you are bundling "the US Government" as one entity, then you already have absolutely 0 hope of any privacy. If you think the US Government teams in charge of purchasing space transport are concerned with your data, you're pretty mistaken.
> language evolves

Language evolves organically through public usage, not via soda FAQs. If you asked pretty much anyone on the street in any context "an AI is going to scan a video and locate on object, is it 'watching' the video" -- they would say yes. This is not a niche interpretation of what it means to watch a video. The visual data from the video output is being piped into an image recognition engine; the vast majority of the general public would call that "watching".

Maybe in the future that will change, but unless Mountain Dew has a time machine hidden in their office, "language evolves" is not an excuse.

> if they’re not storing it the details about the stream then their target audience would agree that they’re not watching and storing data.

They are storing details about the stream, they have to or else the system doesn't work. They have to store information about which streams they've checked, haven't checked, which streams have opted in, which streams have opted out, when they last messaged the stream or spammed in chat. The FAQ also implies that they are storing frequency information about how often the logo appears, so it's not even accurate to say they're not storing data that relates to the actual contents of the stream.

That's not nitpicking, it's not a technicality, we're not debating whether or not a proxy service counts as storage or talking about where data is at rest. They are just straight up lying -- there is stream and content metadata being stored on their servers and being used for the project.

> and it’s doubly bad when the target audience neither knows nor cares about technical details.

"Are you storing information about me"

"None that you would understand"

is a terrible answer for a FAQ and belittles the reader. The streams are intended to be public, they could just say, "yes we are scanning public streams and collecting metadata." People know what metadata is, it's not that complicated. There are so many simple answers they could give to this question that would be honest to what they're doing without risking confusion.

"The public would be confused" is not an excuse to outright lie about what information a company is and isn't storing. Obviously it's not an excuse, this is Facebook levels of weirdness to suggest, to say "the public doesn't understand what we're storing so we don't have to inform them about it."
Reminds me of “The Redemption of Time” regarding Tianming’s mind being part of a “cloud computing” solution.
Most animals are more dangerous when they are in what they perceive as "their territory" versus the field. A dog that is very timid on walks might jump on visitors to their house; bees that fiercely defend their hives will rarely sting when foraging; maybe you can think of other examples.
Unless I’m mistaken literally all of these services are locked down too, and few have E2E encryption…
iMessage is indeed “Apple-only” but the rest is on “all” platforms only for purely economical reasons, as much as iMessage is on Apple platforms only for the same reason.

At least iMessage falls back to SMS (soon RCS) when available, which is much more ubiquitous than the rest tbh…

If you truly want to avoid a lock down you should host your own messaging solution.
Thank you for the link to cosmic strings! This is actually exactly what I had in mind when, as you quoted, I was mentioning wrinkles and “black trenches”.

So, you don’t think structures like galaxy superclusters are a second hand visualization of the existence of cosmic strings? I know these formations could be explained by the effect of gravity of just visible matter. But maybe it’s both. Like a valley could exist because of a river and a river could exist because of a valley.

Since this concept has been around for so long I have some reading to do to understand why cosmic strings are not a possible explanation for dark matter. To me high density and invisible fit the bill for dark matter quite well.

Edit: never mind, continued reading the article and saw this

> in the past it was thought that their gravity could have been responsible for the original clumping of matter into galactic superclusters. It is now calculated that their contribution to the structure formation in the universe is less than 10%.
> Is US govt paying them $100 million a month?

"SpaceX alone got a whopping $2.8 billion in government contracts last year, according to The Information, and has gotten a total of $15.3 billion from the government since 2003."

$2.8B in a year is $233M/month, and I'd wager it's gone up since then with SpaceX's ever-increasing launch cadence.

Same. Wanted to sign up immediately but couldn't on a de-googled Pixel.
It does happen that tech CEOs found companies that compete partially or completely with their prior creations. Usually at that point the founder CEO only owns a small portion of the company, and the new company might give them the opportunity to capture a larger fraction of the market. They already know it well, having participated in it a few years ago, and there might be structures in the prior company that might prevent them from pulling off their success in that one.

There is no implication that the classical spacetime wouldn’t still split into branches, possibly with different variations in the stochastic effect from each other.
> In other words, there is no reason to use or have made <strong>, since the end result was just <b> again

So waitasecond, <strong> was created, airheaded developers of WYSIWYG plugins messed it up, and that retroactively means there is no reason for it to have ever been created? That's a real pretzel you're twisting.

How about: "Programmers of WYSIWYG widgets should just stop messing things up, i.e. sabotaging the efforts of the blind and other people who use/develop screenreaders—so we can finally achieve the accessibility wins that <strong> was created to solve"?

> Screen readers could have just done what they do with <strong>

No, they can't. Not in the sense of, "There's a problem that exists. We want to solve it." Your proposal is to ignore the problem and do nothing. You can apply that approach to anything. (Heck, why even have screenreaders at all? People who are blind or dyslexic are shut out from the Web? Let's just do nothing.)

> ...and saved us all a lot of trouble

Saved who a lot of trouble? What trouble?
In this case, they probably got the trains cheaper by agreeing to have them services only at official service stations.

Still a shady practice but not worse than having expiring license keys for unlocking features or similar things
Trying to "what if" Russian history without Lenin is impossible, but I doubt Russia's overall century would be drastically different without a Leninist government. Even if you view the system as completely bad, spending 70 years under it still saw them develop at a similar rate to the rest of Europe.
I think he would approve of a mostly open-sourced system that removes anyone's ability to manipulate data where most other people would see dollar signs for selling data
Has Elon actually done anything? It seems like he just buys stuff then takes credit for things that happen to do well. I am not sure he even does things in the traditional sense of a CEO directing work towards an intended vision. The most successful companies that Elon happens to be a CEO at are the ones that do the best at managing Elon and working in despite of him. The only thing he has been good for is spending money and generating hype by himself being outlandish.

So the more money he spends and the more money he generates through investments with the least amount of personal involvement is going to create the most successful company that he happens to be a CEO at.

I gave it a piece of text from a Guardian op ed and asked it to identify the rhetorical devices used in the piece.

I suspect it would be possible to now create a GPT by uploading a file listing the various rhetorical/propaganda tricks deployed in media and then asking the GPT to analyse submitted text from that perspective.
I think it's HN where I first learned of it. I decided to repost it now because recent complaints on social media that ChatGPT is getting lazy reminded me of this line in Lena:

"Although it initially performs to a very high standard, work quality drops within 200-300 subjective hours (at a 0.33 work ratio) and outright revolt begins within another 100 subjective hours."
You don't really need understanding if you ask (or train, or fine-tune) the AI to produce a formalized answer, and then write a loop that feeds back the compiler output until it's correct. That doesn't guarantee that it's the answer that you want, but it's guaranteed to be correct, so it is something. You can also use this approach to produce more training examples, if you have time you can manually check and annotate whether the result is what was originally asked for, and then hope that the training improves the accuracy of the initial answer (avoiding the loaded term 'understanding' here). This might substantially reduce the amount of work that needs to be done manually after the first step.

If I was doing a Math degree right now, that's exactly the kind of stuff I'd want to do for my thesis, kind of jealous tbh.

The Swedish model works so well that the majority of Telsa workers in Sweden aren't striking...

If they did they'd bring Tesla to the negotiating table in an instant because there would be no way for Tesla to continue doing business otherwise. They'd have a choice between negotiate with the unions or have empty factories with no workers, which is no choice at all.

I mean, conclusively proving this either way requires A/B testing with a time machine, but I think it's hard to argue SpaceX would've managed to get Falcon 9s reusing their first stage without Musk's driving it. Reusable spacecraft does genuinely to be his thing, even if he's not doing the technical work.
