A lot of previous plateaus in AI are usable and used by billions daily, for example, giving good navigation routes on your phone, managing NPCs in a video game, showing ads, or recommending movies.

It's not that they don't have value -- they do, and in the trillions of dollars -- but once understood, they move from "AI" to "algorithms" and stop being exciting.

The current progress feels different to me, though. The current step in capability is much higher than previous ones, as is the potential disruption.
When is Israel, as a state, outright condemned due to its colonial projects? Like, what concrete consequences does it suffer from, due to its colonies?

Absolutely nothing, and if anything boycotting Israel is literally ground for getting fired in the USA.

Now that I think about it, no other country in the world has that privilege of being shielded from consequences like that either.

Again, Russia trying to annex Ukraine isn't just "not seen as acceptable". We saw very very clear and concrete actions from almost the entire west against that. What does Israel get when it colonizes its neighbors? Unwavering support that completely overlooks said colonies.

See my sibling comment for an explanation.
I unfortunately don't have time to do that, but I believe the Guardian did a similar trick some years ago for election result updates. Try googling around for that, it's very interesting reading.
It seems, however, that AI development (as opposed to what automation has been doing so far) will to a large part affect higher-income jobs. Your examples are "old-school automation" and don't involve AI.

It's quite possible, for example, that the value of "skilled jobs" and "knowledge work" will go down because it's easier to automate if you don't need to build hardware to manipulate things in the world.
One of the best papers I've read in a long time. This could be huge.
F150, Silverado, and RAM seems to still be the worst according to that site?

Maybe it’s because pickups are driven less in cities?

I think most criticism I’ve heard about trucks are for pavement princesses, and not for folks living in rural areas actually using them for what they’re designed for.
No one in that article mentions spitting. By your and the OP's definition, everyone downvoting me is literally[0] spitting on me and the WSJ locking the article behind a paywall is also literally[0] spitting on me.

This is of, of course, silly. The OP could have just said they didn't like being excluded and doesn't like what Apple is doing. That's fine. But spitting? That isn't something that is happening. The language of "spitting" is far to strong a description for what is effectively console war, consumer electronic purchase fandom BS. Some of use face actual prejudice you know!

For years a friend tried to get his department (where he worked as a lecturer) to add a software engineering course where the basic syllabus was to (1) receive a TOI from the last semester and the code base, (2) implement some new features in the code base, (3) deploy and operate the code for awhile, and (4) produce a TOI for the next semester.

The code base was for a simple service that basically provided virus/malware scanning and included the malware scanner and signatures (this ensured there would never be an end to the work - there's always more signatures to add, more features, etc.)

I thought this was a fantastic idea and its a pity he never convinced them. That was more than fifteen years ago, and in his plan it would have just run forever.
Probably not, the moment difference is gonna be huge and it’s basically gonna use the other car as a crumble zone.
The Hybrid-Car Dilemma
iMessage is Apple's service, and they can do with it whatever they want. No other arguments are really relevant.

As for whatever reasons Apple comes up with: that is probably also not going to be relevant as a multinational that is beholden to money is going to have the legal department and PR do that sort of messaging and not anyone on the technical side of things.

Speculating as to why things are the way they are: Apple knows that people in some socioeconomic ecosystems value iMessage as-is, so we can expect their intent to be aligned with keeping that value. Reusing all in-house crypto and account management certainly makes it easier on the engineering side as well.
No such thing as "stealing" "intellectual" "property"
I feel like this could be a part of a weird plan to trap Apple into an antitrust lawsuit about iMessage. Beeper's CEO has been claiming that the existence of Beeper Mini actually improves iPhone users' experiences. He could argue that Apple shutting off access is not meant to improve Apple users' experiences, but rather, to keep people off of Android.

Honestly, I have mixed feelings. I REALLY think that iMessage needs to be opened up, but this was not the way to do it. Really hoping the EU swoops in and saves the day here.
How do you distinguish between bandwagoning and genuine consensus? How unpopular does someone need to be before they can cry "bandwagoning" whenever they're unaminously criticized?

Prices coming down actually isn't the opposite of inflation - the ideal is that they stop changing, which is "disinflation".

Prices going down in a single sector is okay, especially a volatile market that's kind of used to it, but when it happens everywhere that's "deflation" and means you're in the middle of a serious economic crisis like 2008.
If you use it frequently: try to stay away from full screen, even just a hair under full screen in width and height seems to make it more stable, and try not to zoom in too far. Those two things alone seem to allow me to work much longer between crashes.
That sounds like an excellent way to do practice that directly mirrors real-world SWE, while still cutting it down to an appropriate size for a pedagogical environment. What a good idea.
Yes, you are wrong to think that. Every computer is manufactured with the knowledge that we will have superior computers in just a few years. :)
> It's a war!

It looks more as a civilian massacre than a war. Yes, it's pretty obvious that they don't try to kill as many Palestinian civilians as possible. But they clearly show no consideration for civilian lives. What we're witnessing is extremely disturbing to say the least, and we should make Israel stop because nothing can justify what they do. They are entitled to live safely, not to kill thousands of innocents because it suits them.

> Have you ever been to Israel? I'm just curious. Do you know many Israelis?

How is that relevant to the discussion? having Israeli friends should make us accept these horrors? I don't think so.
It would seem whatever they "toned down" in 2017 has been toned back up in recent months.
Well I use a Samsung Fold 4 as my daily phone. I want imessage too. I use a cheap iPhone 8 and Mac Mini to get the feature.
I don't see how the minority of Israeli Arabs can so easily be used as proof. The Arab population of Israel is around 20% at 2 million. The population of the two Palestinian territories is at around 5 million Arabs and they have a strong Muslim majority. Israel's population is considered to be 3/4 Jewish. If Israel and the Palestinian territories were to become combined into a single state, it would no longer have a strong Jewish majority and would also cease to have its strong secular minority. It would cease to be Israel.

Even though the current Israeli government may be more conservative than the ones previous, I see few possibilities for a more socially liberal government if Israel were to combine with the more-conservative majority-Muslim Palestinian states, given that there is not a single majority Muslim country in the world that is close to as socially liberal as Israel is, even now. Especially given that Muslim majority countries have a tendency to start employing Sharia law, even in Malaysia, far separated from the Middle-Eastern Muslim world.
You will never fail a dice roll that prevents you from progressing in the game.
Not that guy, but this mostly comes down to who you view as more just in a war. How many Germans died vs Americans in WW2? If we're going by ratio more than 100 German civilians were killed for every American civilian.

As a pragmatist, I see Israel as a relatively liberal democracy with Arab Muslims in their parliament, women and gays have civil rights, the society is open and innovative. Many Arab nations do not have these properties, and their ideologies often oppose them in principle.

That said, I do not think Israel should be defended to the inordinate degree it has, which is due to American imperial interests, the military industrial complex, and many elite Jews which have disproportionate influence in American society. Look at the major CEOs of corporations in tech, finance, media, etc.

It's also harsh and dark to imagine, but sometimes we benefit from being the inheritors of evil actions that finalized a blood feud or enforced homogeneity. China is unified in large part because of the repression of their totalitarian state. Roughly 92% of China is ethnically Han, which is mostly just a bunch of Chinese ethnicities that were culturally assimilated into being called Han after the Han dynasty. America doesn't have to deal with an insurgency of Comanches because they're utterly out numbered by American citizens and weaponry. Israelis do not have these advantages, and would be at major risk of being conquered by the many more numerous Arab Muslims, who too were the result of oppressive and evil military campaigns of Mohammad and subsequent Muslim warriors.
Take that logic further. Israel's enemies outnumber it by 10x or more and are more than ruthless enough to sacrifice as many as necessary*. There's no way ever that Israel could avoid having the other side having more casualties. The same would apply to every minority.

If your suggested law of war isn't 'majority or ruthless minority, get to do everything they want because they have more causalties', than you need an alternative. The alternative is the current laws of war, which allow for strikes with collateral damage (what Israel says it's doing), but not for terrorist attacks aimed at civilians.

* Suicide bombers, Iranian mullahs sending kids with 'plastic keys to heaven' to dismantle minefields, or current refusal of Hamas to allow civilians to use its tunnels as shelters. We could fill the page with examples really.

** Funny, I don't recall opposition to America's post 9/11 response based on counts. Almost as if the same rules don't apply.
There isn't one Hacker News. Nearly every product you list also has it's greatest champions here on HN.

yt-dlp's post on HN garnered a lot of overwhelmingly positive attention [0].

I learned about NewPipe from HN and am now an ardent fan. Also received an overwhelming amount of positive attention recently, with the top comment recommending a fork that blocks even more advertising [1].

Every release of uBlock Origin gets hundreds of upvotes (1.53 got 527 points [2]). Again, overwhelmingly positive attention.

There's a subset of HN that is obsessed with the fediverse, and another subset that is skeptical, but the skepticism is overwhelmingly technical in nature.

If you want to see corporate shills on HN, you'll probably be able to find some, but it's certainly not a majority (much less unanimous!) view.

This isn't a useful comment, you're just assuming your experience is valid and others who disagree aren't, and using it to sling accusations of dishonesty.

If spam is really the problem Apple is worried about, then isn't it conceivable that it happens and that Apple has to work to keep spam low so you have a good experience? Such work is ongoing and sometimes spam gets through anyway. I don't think we should assume Apple's protections on occasional spam are perfect.

Personally I don't want anything to do with a google device, so on the other end as a recipient I am glad apple did this swiftly. But I applaud and encourage people to try and get around it, perhaps they might even help find vulns in imessage.
> made life worse for many people, until a revolt/change came about to prevent exploitation/share the newfound efficiency gains etc.

The question is thus: how do we ensure that the new gains are shared from the start; not "do those gain exist".

The issue with the "Luddistic" approach isn't that it is concerned by the impact of a new technology, it's that it fights progress instead of accompanying it.
I can’t speak for Cupertino et al., but I would take that risk, even if it weren’t IP-based but instead UDID/serial-based.

The amount of legitimate users it would affect would be trivial and can be taken care of by customer support.

The benefit of that is that I can then, at that point, verify if we’re dealing with a legitimate device or not. Geniuses at Apple Stores can obviously do this physically, and remote support has the option to run remote diagnostics and even share screens.
I wouldn't take that as a lack of hacker spirit ; and honestly saying this was to be anticipated is not being an applogist. You could tell this would happen, notably because they were selling a product on top of a retro-engineered API, and it made quite the noise. Even if they hadn't closed it at a technical level, they'd probably have done it at a legal level.

And to point out the obvious, Beeper was also closed source. I don't trust apple much, but I trust a random startup much less to believe that they're not either doing something dicey, or screwing up the encryption protocol and creating tons of security holes (esp. if it was retro engineered).

Honestly, as you're pointing out the closed source character of all of that, I'd much rather use something like Signal.
> America is basically the wild west

Indeed.

125 people are killed every single day on the road in the US. No matter how you slice it, the US is an outlier compared to developed countries. [1]

Per capita the US sees 12.9 fatalities per 100,000, worse than Chile and Mexico. More than twice the death rate of Canada (5.8)

Per 100,000 motor vehicle per year the US sees 16.1 fatalities, comparable to Bulgaria and Lithuania, almost double the death rate of Canada (8.9)

Per 1 billion vehicle kilometres driven, it's 8.3 fatalities. That's not quite double Canada's rate of 5.1, but still much higher than other developed countries

The US is a very dangerous country in terms of vehicles compared to developed countries.

IIUC, any sensible way of "pairing up" these things will mean that anything you get out will be true. But the search might take millennia, and the outcome might be nothing (equivalently, "the LLM's conjecture is false").
They could, the next time the contract is up for renegotiation.

It would require however that there are other couriers that fulfill their safety requirements with the logistic infrastructure to deliver to the entire country. That's not likely. But entirely within the realm of possibility that someone with deep pockets could start one.

However it would not make any difference for Tesla, as that courier would also be unionized. Few other companies would do business with them otherwise, as Tesla is about to find out.
The software doesn't cause bubbles, the "eat the world" model causes bubbles. When everyone is trying to capture the entire pie, it creates this constant, industry-wide FOMO. Like when Spotify decided that podcasts were going to be big, Amazon felt like they couldn't miss out on it. So Spotify signed Rogan, Amazon signed My Favorite Murder, etc. And they bid up the price on each other and now Spotify is in hot water because the economics don't make sense at the ridiculous valuations they FOMO'd themselves into.

I don't pretend to know what a solution would be, but it's not like we have to choose between bubbles and innovative companies; bubbles are about how things are financed, and not about the things themselves. The horticulture industry is doing fine and controlled environment agriculture continues to innovate, without bidding up the price of tulips to something insane.

I know it's hard to imagine (and I don't mean to be patronizing, I have trouble imagining it), but we could have a software industry that wasn't predicated on selling dollars for dimes until you've developed a monopoly and can charge high rents.

Not much is known about Hamas propaganda because sharing it is illegal in the USA where YC and HN are based.

On the contrary the IDF is pretty open about its online media budget, spend, and goals. So isn't it natural that people would study it more?

Hamas supporters would say the same thing about Israel, that they could never "make a peaceful treaty" with the state that expelled their grandmother from her home at gunpoint, that launched the bomb that killed their sister, that supported the illegal settlers that shot their cousins in the West Bank…

The 1% most extreme on both sides want to drag you down to their level, don't let them.

The gist of it is that when Signal sends you a push notification, it's just a marker for "hey, you have updates". It doesn't contain unencrypted data that could be passed to another actor - Signal isn't stupid enough to do this. The app will then call out to pull down any updates.

Thus, we wind up in the following situation: the US govt could ask Apple for a list of people who got notifications at X/y/z time to try and tie it to someone who sent at those times, but Signal is so large and widely used that it'd be finding a needle in a haystack (and that's probably putting it lightly).

The news from this article is concerning, no doubt... but I'm not particularly worried about Signal is all.
Looking at the "Hardware Acceleration" part (https://onnxruntime.ai/docs/execution-providers/) Seems like there's no WebGPU support yet but someone could provide one as part of their framework.
As a person very familiar with Polish legal system and code I would be far from saying it's a cut & dry case.

What we have in this case is a company doing something that is wrong, not an individual. To sentence somebody with the statute you and the parent are referring to you need to have a case against an individual, not a company. Secondly, except for this specific statute you have to take into consideration the general rules of the penal code (Zasady odpowiedzialności karnej) and in this case you have to assign blame, find out that the intent, the knowledge of what they were doing etc.

In general, in best case this will be a breach of contract, a civil case, there probably won't be jail time. Don't get your hopes up.

Don't get me wrong, what they did is nefarious, but at the same time I don't think there should be Jail time, just huge fines and some scrutiny (maybe NIK, ABW, CBA etc. - other polish three later agencies) on Newag, maybe barring them from some future deals.

You know what's funny, if anything can be funny at these times, is that once some anti-Israelis explain what they mean by the terms they use I end up agreeing with them.

My problem is that the terms are not necessarily the common definition of those terms.

Clearly civilians are impacted by Israel's actions. Nobody can argue with that. And the impact is major. Someone used to live in a nice house and have their basic needs met, and now they're crammed in a tent somewhere with almost nothing. Their house could be destroyed. And yes, many civilians have died. This is not what I take to mean by "Israel is intentionally targeting civilians", what that means to me, and likely to many others, is that Israeli soldiers are looking for civilians and killing them wherever they can find them, intentionally, as many as they can. This matters. Words matter. By your definition every war targets civilians, and it's sort of maybe true, but again, not really how most people IMO think about it.

The reason I asked my "Israeli" questions is that I do think most Israelis are moral, decent, people. As a whole they would prefer not to be in this war at all. You can say maybe they're misguided but their goal is the security of their country, not inflicting pain on others. Intent does matter.

I think there's a minority of Israelis that are not that (e.g. we just had the case of an Israeli settler soldier killing an Israeli civilian who was no threat because he thought he was Arab and we had other similar cases).
See I always thought it was two groups doing separate projects and was surprised to see the other one mentioned on their web page.

The linked study explains this, it's a mix-up of market power, global shake-ups, supply chain issues, and essential needs that affected normal market forces to self-regulate.

You've got these big companies that dominate and make it tough for competitors to get a foot in the door.

The pandemic threw supply chains into a tailspin, leaving folks with fewer choices and companies with the goods charging top dollar. Post Covid/Ukraine, these same companies found themselves suddenly holding all the cards, letting them hike prices.

Everyone kinda expected to shell out more, because of the looming inflation, so companies were able to slide in bigger price tags under the radar. And this was all for stuff people can't live without, like energy, so they payed up even if it hurts. And it's not really clear to average folks what these companies real cost are, so it's easy to believe the price increase are all legitimate and due to some "real increase in cost".
400k TC, 200k base. That's pretty average for most experienced engineers.
Imagine all the cool custom cars we could have if tesla actually released the skateboard like they promised.
Let's use the right timeline. The pullout you describe was in 2005, and handed Gaza to _Fatah_. The Palestinian elections in 2006, and Hamas did not control Gaza prior to 2007.
