Push is a just technique for minimizing (scarce wireless) bandwidth, battery and RAM consumption, which was critical in the mass deployment of the initial iPhone on AT&T.

iPhone developers typically aren’t very skilled and they will stuff things into APNS payloads without thinking through the consequences (they’re just happy to get something working at all and more often than not, are in some remote country that doesn’t allow familiarizing with the user context) so this is definitely a privacy concern whether due to legal interception or hacking.

Perhaps a future version of SwiftUI (and what Xcode Cloud may evolve into) will implement a simple E2E Push scheme by default, allowing Apple to spend more time reviewing the Push API use by the remaining legacy apps.

But…take comfort in knowing that at least Apple’s server is not purposely located across national boundaries (like Blackberry). That’s good because users have no expectation of privacy from monitoring (by US government or otherwise) when using servers (or when they themselves are) on foreign soil.

Meanwhile, US let 12,000 unknown persons literally wander across the border in just a single day last week (US can only handle 1,000 border crossers on a good day) and some are committing horrible crimes (https://foxsanantonio.com/amp/newsletter-daily/undocumented-...) —and yes, they do have Android and iPhones. The US is also sinking another $1T in (unfunded) debt every 90 days (meaning another Great Depression is not out of the question) and maybe it’s time to better focus our resources, for example, (after 40 years) China seems just about done surveying western IP and is clearly moving into a new era by having their massive APT groups (collectively 50x larger than US cyber forces) operate crude things like MoonBounce deployments —we have almost no monitoring for factory-installed threats, we’re totally wide open.

Yeah, when I checked it a while ago I've had a bunch of submissions that I didn't flag there. No idea how that could happen.

I don't understand the comparison.

I don't pay for Disney+ in Poland because they don't have Russian. Even though it's a native language of 1M+ immigrants and 99% of their content is translated. They probably just don't want my money, I have no other explanation.

Its amazing to me that it has become such a default, similarly to Slack before it. At least some Slack communities tried and worked on getting the channels indexed so that it shows up during web searches, now with discord I need an account just to view the content...

A hard pass from me, especially when an answer to a simple question requires me to drink from their firehose of a search...
> In the same month TikTok, a fast-growing[...]video app, announced that it was testing an ad-free subscription.

This feels like calling Facebook a fast-growing social network.
It is very possible to do so that

* There is a dedicated control for going back to a previous view / state, that control is always positioned by the OS in a predefined location, and cannot be removed or disabled.

* The OS automatically does the right thing, that is, navigates to the previous view, unless the developer has jumped through hoops to override this behavior (e.g. to warn about unsaved data).

Android does this, and it's very helpful and natural.

If the FCC mandated Apple deploy an update to reduce phones catching fire then yes, I would use the term recall. For bugs that don’t fall into the safety or regulatory compliance category I would not.

I don't remember a good transcription tool, but if you want to play with APIs, IBM had a Watson-branded one that could do it. We used it at Workday and it worked so well we discovered (the hard way, of course) we needed to check transcripts for curse words.
They also have teleoperators remotely to tale over.
... and then, January 2022, he stops talking about FSD (according to the article, unsure when it was last updated)

Either the lawyers finally got him to stop spouting bullshit, or he got bored. Either way, I wonder if we'll have FSD before fusion energy arrives :^)
Do people in spandex auits, I mwan Tesla Humanoid Robots, count as automatic?
It's not updated because it "doesn't work" - no one who "believes in Elon" actually cares that he is bullshitting. Remember when Trump failed to build a wall, and somehow no one noticed? A nation with 11 nuclear powered aircraft carriers failed to build a simple wall, a wall that was the hottest issue in a successful presidential campaign.
Mmmh, have you read the Quanta article? It does a good job, almost without equations.

Welcome to the future where nobody is professional because there is no need for professionals. Just ask Corporate Overlord Surveillance Bot to give you instruction on what to do and how to think. Voilà. You are the master of the Universe. Dunning-Kruger champion for the ages to come.

The problem is obvious. Time to reaction. API calls limitation. Average response for a complex task due to limitation of the vision module. Similar functionality has to be available for free with local model tuned to those type of tasks - helper/copilot. Apple and Microsoft will include helper models into the OS soon. Let's hope they are generous and don't turn this to a local data gathering funnel (I have my doubts on this).
Whole apps? None yet. I added features to ffmpeg for stuff I wanted. One of which grew to an abomination.
I actually like the idea, it should be called recall when it's about fixing a bug affecting the function or security of the device.

I know a lot of people who don't update their phones because they believe it's getting slower and their battery degrades faster. In some cases, they might be right because when new futures are added the device can indeed become slower.

It would be nice if we can get fixes and security updates, without adding any new functionality so we can preserve the original workload of the device. I would love to have my iPhone 4s running iOS 6, just secured enough, so I can use it the way it was when I purchased it(I wouldn't care much if Apple services don't work anymore).

Sure, Apple does security only updates for old phones but I actually would like to have the option to do this on the current phones too.
"This content is not available in your country/region."

I could only read the title but from what I can come up these people would have overdosed, the only difference with public drug use is they die in front of everyone. What I am concerned is it should actually trigger a response towards helping addicts get access to safer drugs, and finding a way for them to stay functionnal and harmless in our society. Instead people want to try to hide the problem under the carpet but it will not work either.
Recently I have started started working on an offline Traditional Taiwanese Mandarin Chinese dictionary software for the desktop. I have been studying Taiwanese Mandarin Chinese for a few years now, two years of those in Taiwan at a language center and it has always bugged me that most Chinese dictionary software is

1. mainly focused on Simplified Chinese as it is spoken in Mainland China and Traditional Chinese/the Taiwanese variant is just an afterthought

2. mobile-/tablet-only

3. a website which requires access to the internet/doesn't integrate well with a traditional desktop-first workflow, or

4. only has Chinese to English, but no monolingual definitions which are preferable for advanced learners

Thus I have decided to take things into my own hands and started developing the Traditional Taiwanese Mandarin Chinese dictionary I have always wished for that caters perfectly to my way of studying and my personal workflow. I've been dog-fooding it for a few weeks now and it feels great to finally have a tool that makes my studying routine more enjoyable and smoother!

They've never used LIDAR. Tesla have always been all-in on a vision based system, with Elon stating that LIDAR is a "crutch," and a "fools errand"

> Andrej Karparthy, Senior Director of AI, took the stage and explained that the world is built for visual recognition. Lidar systems, he said, have a hard time deciphering between a plastic bag and a rubber tire. Large scale neural network training and visual recognition are necessary for Level 4 and Level 5 autonomy, he said.

> “In that sense, lidar is really a shortcut,” Karparthy said. “It sidesteps the fundamental problems, the important problem of visual recognition, that is necessary for autonomy. It gives a false sense of progress, and is ultimately a crutch. It does give, like, really fast demos!”

At what point is saying "it's two years away, trust me!" Not just naive optimism but false advertising or market manipulation? He publicly said this for like four years, and then he walks it all back.

I just don't get it. Any other little person does this and they would be big time side by investors and shareholders, and yet people want to trip all over each other talking about how awesome he is.

Reminds me of another cult of personality.

Why the need to reinvent the commit message? Look at how Linux does it. If it's good enough for a globally distributed organization creating the operating system the cloud and most phones run on, it can't be completely wrong. They rely solely on mail and commit messages.

Ticketing systems are useful for a lot of other things such as keeping track of work on an individual level, or managing project resource allocations on a company wide level, but I'm not sure it's the best tool to do audits and have accountability. It will at best be a secondary source of that data.
Haven’t managed to deliver anything viable? There are millions of miles of FSD driving being logged every month. I use it all the time and it’s pretty damned good today. Recalls for Tesla just amount to OTA updates that regulators have asked for and they’ve agreed to implement.
Less than a year ago, there was a video of Tesla slo-mo crashing into a parked airplane.

To me, it indicates that they haven't solved even the easiest part: there is something in a static setting, don't crash into it, stop.

That was in 2022, so 7 years after start of development/announcement.

I don't hold by breath.

Interesting result. Unsure whether it's correct. Doesn't look far off but it's hard to say without examining the code. Feel free to take a look at ncube's code. Some parts are a bit abstract since I had to generalize it to arbitrary dimensions, but let me know and I can provide some assistance.
Back in 2014, it was “90% of your miles on auto” by the next year. In 2015 it was “a month away” from highways and simple roads, and 3 years away from full autonomy. In 2016 it was fully autonomous end-to-end cross-country (LA to Times Square) trip “by the end of the year”
I also split tabs pretty heavily. Awesome feature.
Maybe it's because the technology has progressed to the point where any idiot can make an ad, so now ads are made by idiots. It's not the first industry to be so affected.
I'm fairly sure it's: "cameras are cheaper and cars with cameras don't have an ugly thing on top" argument. So yeah, pure vision.
If, and that is a big IF, they manage to achieve it. My best guess is that Tesla won't get anywhere close to L5 before the end of this decade.

Your best chance today is to pack more sensores.

Edit: I still believe that the systems which assist the driver today are useful and can make driving safer and easier. I don't want to downplay what they have achieved but they are a looong way from L5.
Nice. Haven't watched that one, but now I'm tempted.
Great ensemble cast of characters with neuroses, a bit of world building with great recurring characters, witty writing. There’s a lot of heart in the writing and acting too, it’s easy to care for these characters even though they are zany goofballs.

I would claim it is truly the last great network TV sitcom unless there’s something newer I’m missing.

Oh yeah and Terry Crews is just amazing.

True FSD will only come from LIDAR + vision. Relying only on vision feels exceedingly dangerous. I recall a recent (last 2 years?) case where a guy was essentially decapitated by a flat-bed semi because his car couldn’t recognize the semi’s bed due to it being right at camera level.

I think the Pure vision stuff is nifty, but “nifty” is the exact dead-last parameter when trying to transport my family safely from point A to point B.

Who says it can't?
In which apps is this the default? I can't think of a single one where a swipe were used to navigate "back" and "forth". Gestures are everywhere, but never in the capacity of the back button.
I never understood it either. My parents used to watch it together at top volume. My theory was that it was easy to watch, you knew exactly what was going on, it was familiar. When my mum died my dad would watch it alone at top volume, I guess it reminded him of her and a bit of comfort in a world that had suddenly gone unrecognisable, crazy and scary. I could never stand the grotesque yelling voices and hysterical laughter and I would ask him to mute it or switch it off when I came visiting with my son. I can't imagine I will ever watch an episode but I derive a weird sort of mild comfort knowing that it's there.
Flatland was what made me fall in love with the topic.

From a user experience perspective it is exactly the same. The user doesn't have to send their hardware away.
When I write now, I will sometimes load a page or two into a LLM and ask for an ‘opinion’, and also suggestions for more sub-topics. This is sort-of like bouncing ideas off a human collaborator but also very different.

More to the point of this article, I have a few test prompts that define a bizarre remote planet and culture and ask for a story to be written using this context as a kick-off point. GPT-4 and Claude 2 generally do a good job of ‘creatively’ generating a story. Some smaller LLMs that I run locally on a 32G Mac Mini to a poor job and others are OK. Related: when using smaller local LLMs, I find it important to have many models installed and keep notes on which smaller models are good or bad at specific tasks.
One of my pet peeves is that there is no universal equivalent of a context menu. There’s long press, there’s the share button that is often used not just for sharing but for all kinds of context-menu-like functions, there are other buttons or hamburger/ellipsis menus, there’s the swipe left/right on an item with additional actions appearing and sometimes a “More…” secondary menu, there’s the text-edit “tap a selection and wait for a second or two for some options to appear”, and so on. The respective menus that may or may not appear also differ in their looks.

The lack of a uniform UI pattern for what is right-click on the desktop already surprised me way back in iPhone OS 3. Long press would have been the obvious choice, and you could have had a uniform context-menu function everywhere. Users would just learn “when in doubt, long-press for any and all additional actions” and wouldn’t have to try different gestures, look into the share menu or other random menu buttons.

Ask HN: Query whether a pipe is empty AND has a reader waiting?
I have long dreamed of recreating, within Emacs, the input and transcript functionality of the Apollo DM (Display Manager):

https://lists.suckless.org/dev/1106/8766.html

The distinguishing characteristic of a DM transcript was that it recorded faithfully and immutably the interleaving of input consumed from stdin with output written to stdout. Of course, in the absence of typeahead, creating such a transcript is trivial.

The essential implementation hurdle then is handling typeahead. And that comes down to being able to ask whether the pipe supplying stdin is both (1) empty and (2) has a read waiting.

So my question is, can one do that on a contemporary instance any of the big three OSs? Linux, BSD or Windows?
Our Tesla never knows what the real speed limit is in Norway either. Tunnels are especially bad.
It’s always been weird to me that it seems like it’s assumed that the world really wants FSD. It clearly has its benefits in freight transport via truck, as the value add there is clear. When it comes to personal transportation, however, where’s the value add? It seems like adoption would be fueled by personal preference, and in my experience people tend to want to retain control where there is an option to do so. It’s possible this is a solution searching for a problem.
Israel controls what and who moved through the Egypt border.

I'm sure Sailfish, too, allows you to prevent the gesture if you want. On iOS if you use the standard navigation controller, you get it automatically. If you're swimming against the tide and want to do something unusual, you have to implement it yourself, but it's easy enough with a readily available gesture recognizer.
Humans are pretty fallible though. And human eyes are way better in dynamic lighting conditions than cameras. Our dynamic range is huge in comparison.

Elon's objections to lidar are not because it's a bad idea but because of the costs. Especially because he's already sold cars with "full self driving" that don't have LiDAR. So he's painted himself in a corner.

Even if it can be done with vision only, lidar will add an extra data point for cases where the object recognition is in doubt. And the price will come down.
It's truly amazing isn't it?

Is it the same route every time?

If not, they might take harder and harder routes as FSD gets better. Making it look like there is less progress than there really is.
Yes, but Discord does not get indexed by search engines, because it’s not an open platform.

So while it is in the interest of the open source project that as many people going forward can benefit from past Q&A, it is in the interest of Discord to require you to install their client to search.

Silos are sad.
Regarding the readme, I think it's clearer if you point out that it actually doesn't even stop at a '3 dimensional perspective projection of' - it's 2 dimensional with the third suggested by perspective drawing and the rotation.

Then it goes on:

> Well, imagine you're a 2D being, you live in a flat universe, in a plane, you see in 1D (a line), then you try to visualize a 3D object, so your 3D friends intersect a cube into your line of sight, but you only see an infinitesimal slice of it, you can never see it fully.

Well, we kind of are, in looking at such demos we're 'living' in a flat computer-screen universe. To me at least it's easier to grasp as 'consider how 3D things from real life need to be represented in 2D on a computer screen' than it is to 'imagine you and everything in your life and your whole experience of the universe is 2D'! I can hardly conceptualise that at all!
Hey I said, "I think", and was ready to accept that there was more to it. Yours was assertive about that being wrong without providing any supporting evidence for your claim. You made me find it instead. Hence the "bad form".

I'm not sure how "I think..." conveys certainty.

It's just an abrasive thing to do running around going "False!" and "Wrong!" on the Internet. So yeah I'll give you flak for it.

I put in effort to try to not be abrasive because people call that out when I do. You're just receiving the same.
some simply prefer open source, maybe they want to contribute, etc.
Except I’ve never heard anyone talking about AI replacing developers and selling a “full self-development” package for thousands of dollars at the same time.
The most interesting part of their pivot to vision is how none of the disaster scenarios people were so sure of seem to have come true. Meanwhile FSD is better than ever and there are millions of miles per month being logged.
