Hackintosh is already on a death march.

Sooner or later Apple will remove support for all x86 OSX versions.

Its life can be extended a bit by hackers who try to backport the software from ARM to x86.

But you can't sustain the entire Apple ecosystem by volunteer work alone.

Why spend resources trying to kill it when we all know it will die ln its own in a few years?

No it doesn't. But by your logic, surge pricing is theft.

I have no particular faith in people. I observe that there's all kinds of irrational, nonsense beliefs scorned by mainstream economists that are popular among certain groups. "Greedflation" is dumb economic populism, nothing else.

Lectric have a model XP™ 1.0 (followed by versions 2.0 and 3.0).

Hyperion have a model XP-1.

Morgan have a prototype named XP-1.

There are many other manufacturers that have used the name XP-1 or XP1 for something, and are probably at least one or two more in the transportation industry. (Hyperion sometimes spell theirs XP1, Morgan do at least on the side of the vehicle, and articles about both mix the spellings freely. Ugh.)

It’s a pretty bland name and none of the players are particularly notable or in quite the same space so that trademark concerns are negligible. I feel like it’d be about as reasonable to quibble over the name “Lectric” being taken—“electric” has been around for yonks.
No, the holier-than-thou attitude of typical Android users shitting on the Apple Sheep is why they don’t get called back.

Sageman’s “bunch of guys” theory has really won out now that anybody can interact with terrorists on social media. You can’t run a big terrorist organization made up of people seeking revenge because they’re power-seeking and will replace you. Instead you take a bunch of guys out of college, give them a way to seek status that conveniently involves them dying before they can replace you, and then go out and fundraise.
You aren’t giving any credit to the fact that, worldwide, society largely operates lawfully, in no small part thanks to the penalties associated with breaking laws. These things often have a way of working themselves out.

I’m not saying that Verizon’s handling of this was anything other than grossly negligent, but let’s not pretend that the sole solution to, well, any problem involve…what? Asymmetric cryptography?

I think during the last three months or so, I only used the !g flag four or five times.

It seems as if Kagi has indeed become a truly viable alternative to Google.

Whenever I do use the !g flag, the results over at Google are just awful, sometimes I have to scroll 1.5 screens just to get past the ads. Imagine running a search engine and not delivering meaningful results above the fold.

Google is a zombie company now.
Almost every CS course I took went the other way and had strict cheating policies that essentially made any group work verboten. There was 1 group project in 1 course I took in 4 years.

We would have responded with much more force, but we would not have carpet-bombed Arizona. We didn't send out the bombers after Oklahoma City, either.
I'm always torn about this kind of exploit. On the one hand it's obviously vulnerable. On the other hand, securing it would require centralization of authority. I think I'm actually okay with accepting the tradeoff of insecure verification of "legitimacy," in exchange for decentralization of police power.

But it's also worth noting that the "vulnerable" system is not the centuries old system of policing. If you get arrested by a fake cop, that system affords you legal remedies - it might take a few days but you'll see justice. The vulnerable system here is Verizon's process for responding to inbound messages claiming to be search warrants. And when this system fails, the victim has effectively no remedy - their stalker already read the data that Verizon sent him.

So that's even less of a reason to increase centralization of the policing system. It won't solve the problem because the problem is with a different system.

> On the contrary, third-party clients is a gigantic security hole, since Apple can't even know if a client app is spying on users.

Security isn't about Apple knowing if an app is spying on users, but about THE USERS knowing that nobody is spying on them.

At best a third party iMessage client can only be as secure as iMessage itself because the back end is still closed and has no transparency, so it's the weakest link. If Apple (or a third party) is spying on the back end then no client can be safe.

> How would third-party clients _increase_ security (other than indirectly, by people using SMS less)?

They can increase security by breaking a single target into multiple targets, by increasing competition around security and privacy issues, by having more people use and work with the protocols and able to spot potential problems, by encouraging more transparency around issues when they arise, and by having alternatives readily available if one of the clients is found to be compromised or insecure.

And of course open source clients can be verified and validated by other developers and security professionals.

Verizon can't call the Clerk's office and ask, "did the grand jury really issue a subpoena?"

Says who? I'm not aware of any rule or statute that prohibits the recipient of a subpoena from confirming with the court that it is legitimate?

Usually, there's no one to quash the subpoena.

There's always someone who can move to quash - the recipient. There's usually two people - the recipient and the opposing party.

A federal subpoena includes the rule on how to do it right on the subpoena. https://www.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/ao088b.pdf

As a side note, there are a myriad of potentially applicable statutes and case law relating to obtaining phone records. Depending on what was requested, a subpoena may not be required.
Using that which belongs to others without their consent is theft. There isn’t much to debate, unless of course, you wish to benefit from that theft. Powerful corpos can train whatever they wish against the data they own. For instance, microsoft can train its bots on microsoft’s source code, instead of people’s code, but that is not going to happen because they are aware of the implications - the procedural generators are exactly that and nothing more. Meanwhile we cant use their products without a license.

So if they decides to play this game then so should we.

Quantization means reducing the number of bits used to encode each floating point number constituting a parameter in the model So instead of having billions of possible values per weight, you might have just 255. The model has to have its weights crammed into a much smaller number of possible values, which reduces its ability to produce good outputs.
Appreciate the kind words!
My reading of the article suggests they modified the genomes of multiple trees, and the “winners” that got into the field happened to have ancestors that had moved the target gene to a different chromosome.

They’re simultaneously trying to make precision modifications to the genome and also trying to preserve hundreds of wild strains.

If they succeed, the required technological advances will probably be broadly applicable.

I wish them luck.

They were wrong insofar as there are multiple ways to combat this.

One of the easiest ways is to block Beeper's encryption key from generating encryption tokens. Another way is to block the fake serial numbers and UDIDs Beeper uses.
Yet another way is to block Beepers push notification servers.

A more long-term solution is to require device attestation. This functionality is already built into iOS, and on newer devices, it utilizes the Secure Enclave on the device.

This doesn’t require older iOS devices to be excluded from iMessage because the attestation can partially be done via Apple’s servers. For the most secure method, however, you’d want the device to have a Secure Enclave.

Breaking compatibility with older devices isn’t unheard of, however, when Apple upgraded the FaceTime protocol, older devices that didn’t support the newer iOS versions were left out and couldn’t make FaceTime calls with more recent devices on the more recent protocol.

All in all, many tech tubers were talking out of their behind because they didn’t understand the inner workings and were parroting what others told them.
Whatever rocks your art. Being especially careful with adverbs and adjectives is common practice among experienced writers. More examples:

“Adjectives are frequently the greatest enemy of the substantive.” – Voltaire

“[I was taught] to distrust adjectives as I would later learn to distrust certain people in certain situations.” – Ernest Hemingway

“The adjective is the banana peel of the parts of speech.” – Clifton Paul Fadiman

“[The adjective] is the one part of speech first seized upon and worked to death by novices and inferior writers.” – J.I. Rodale

“Use no superfluous word, no adjective, which does not reveal something.” – Ezra Pound

“The adjective has not been built that can pull a weak or inaccurate noun out of a tight place.” – E.B. White

“[Whoever writes in English] is struggling against vagueness, against obscurity, against the lure of the decorative adjective.” – George Orwell

“Most adjectives are also unnecessary. Like adverbs, they are sprinkled into sentences by writers who don’t stop to think that the concept is already in the noun.” – William Zissner
> The projects can be appreciated while also acknowledging that advertisements are part of the value exchange.

No, this is preposterous and I will continue to refute this silly idea every time it shows up here. It is not stealing from radio stations to change the station when ads come on. It is not stealing from TV channels to go get a drink when ads come on. There is no moral compunction to watch ads, from anyone, anywhere. Stop trying to normalize advertising, which is to say, stop trying to normalize the enshittification of the human mind.

Meanwhile, a web browser is a user agent running on my machine. Youtube's content is a guest on my hardware. Once it's on my machine, I have the moral right to do whatever I please with it. If Google doesn't want to serve it to me, then it has the right to prevent me from accessing their server, such as in exchange for payment. But again, advertising is not payment, it's just corporate-sanctioned, socially-acceptable brainwashing.

“Polyploid organisms have more than two sets of homologous chromosomes. For example, humans have two sets of homologous chromosomes, meaning that a typical human will have 2 copies each of 23 different chromosomes, for a total of 46. Wheat on the other hand, while having only 7 distinct chromosomes, is considered a hexaploid and has 6 copies of each chromosome, for a total of 42.”

> go after military targets even at some cost to civilians (and the question of that cost)

I feel the "question of that cost" is where the differences in opinion lie.

For example, if Israel considered the civilians of Gaza as Israel citizens of equal importance to all other Israeli citizens, you'd expect them to consider that cost to be much higher, and it would force them to maneuver much more carefully in their military operations in order to minimize it. Yes, it would make it a lot harder for them to fight and make headway against Hamas as well if they did.

Some people hold the belief that this is how Israel should treat civilians, no lesser than they'd treat their own.

I think another contentious issue, is around the outcome of the war, and what it means for those civilians as well. Is the idea to force the One-State solution, but not as a binational state with equal rights for all citizens, irrespective of ethnicity or religion, but instead as a state with dominant Jewish identity? The impression to this question can change your opinion of the civilian casualties, are they an unfortunate price to pay towards their liberation from Hamas, and their incorporation into a more just, equal, fair, democracy, where they can live a better life? Or is it actually towards their further oppression by Israel?

Or if it is to force a Two-State solution, again, what would it mean of those civilians, would the Palestinian state be forced to harsh conditions as part of treaties if they lose the war, which would hurt those civilians further, etc.

It's complicated, but I do think most of it is about this "cost of civilian casualties", and what worth you attribute to it, and what worth you attribute to the end in order to justify the means.
I'm more interested in using concrete for normally sized structures with greater longevity. The Pantheon has stood for 1,900 years. I doubt Burj Khalifa will last much more than 100 years.

Roman concrete is far more durable than modern concrete, reinforced or otherwise. Roman concrete self-heals cracks.

They think they've figured out why, quicklime: https://news.mit.edu/2023/roman-concrete-durability-lime-cas...

The theory is that the Romans hot-mixed their concrete with quicklime. As soon as tiny cracks start to form within the concrete, the cracks travel to lime clasts. The lime then reacts with water, creating a calcium-saturated solution. That solution then recrystallizes as calcium carbonate, sealing the cracks and strengthening the concrete.

The concrete is cheap. They are going to commercialize a modern formulation. One to watch.
One of the biggest impacts of LLMs right now is probably in programming. The article says that the only thing LLMs are doing is replacing stack overflow (and hence the value is the value of stack overflow). While it's true it does replace the need for stack overflow in many cases, what it is doing is making programmers much more productive. How much? I don't know. But the value is not that we don't need stack overflow, it is that we don't need as many programmers.
Scale is the most important factor when talking about the harm done. A dead person is dead, regardless of if it was murder or manslaughter.

Criminal punishments are more about the social consequences than about the crime itself. If someone gets X years in prison for crime A and another person gets 2X years for crime B, it doesn't mean that crime B was twice as bad. It only means that after taking a large number of factors into account, it made sense to give twice as long sentence for crime B.
Sometimes I think this whole "blue bubble" thing is a gigantic opt-in psych experiment about how biases like racism can start absolutely anywhere.
FWIW a recent YouGov poll[1] found that 20% of 18-29 year-olds agree with the statement that "the Holocaust is a myth," with an additional 30% neither agreeing or disagreeing. Compare this to 0%(!) of 65+ year-olds agreeing, and a mere 2% neither agreeing or disagreeing.

To put another way, the oldest generations are in 98% agreement that the Holocaust happened, compared to 50% of young adults.

Wealth inequality is a red herring and a silly metric to consider in this conversation (and probably any conversation). Everything else the same, would you rather live in a world where the average person makes $100k/year and the richest person is worth $1T, or a world where you make $1k/year and the richest person $1M? Because if you're focusing on minimizing "wealth inequality", I guess you'd choose the latter, which is clearly the wrong choice.

Not sure I understand what you mean about "choosing" to live in the 21st century. Yes, you didn't choose the century, but lucky you, you got born into the one with more baseline access to material wealth for the average person than any other century before it. Sucks to be us, eh?

Your final point is objectively untrue. I don't know what your friends do but there are many (not highly-skilled) jobs that pay enough to easily afford all the listed things.
This thread basically sums it up:

* Apple is really popular in the US

* Apple users tend to rely heavily on Apple's default applications

* Apple's messaging app is the default, and works fine with other Apple devices, but sends shitty SMS or MMS to non-Apple devices

SMS would disappear tomorrow if Apple adopts RCS.

And if they allowed iMessage clients on other platforms, they could corner the entire messaging market.
