If the green bubble (or teal bubble or whatever) works with iMessage, I will be happy. It's about the functionality, not the status symbol.

For many people, it is about not looking like a brokie to their peers, and that's what apple counts on.
> Ounce for ounce, a wafer of a top end NVIDIA chips is the most valuable substance on earth.

I think that would still be Californium. Even if NVIDIA could fit 300 H100 on a 300mm wafer at $40,000 a GPU a wafer would be worth $12,000,000 which would be in the same ballpark as a single gram of Californium.

Technically anti-matter would cost orders of magnitude more but there's no demand for it so it's not really valuable, whereas Californium is tightly rationed for scientific research. </silly-nitpick>
I can't speak to the anti-trust issue but it is a real thing. My daughter couldn't join the group chat used by her (all iPhone) cheerleading team. We ended up missing last minute changes to practice locations more than once.

And, of course, there was some teasing from the other team members about how my daughter's parents were too cheap to buy them a proper phone.
It is less of an issue because of market share. MS crushed Netscape with IE. imessage is not used in the EU

This has been asserted by Microsoft employees in .NET podcasts, and on twitter, maybe start paying attention?
This whole webassembly thing does not seems like it will solve real problems, The more I learn about it, the more it seems like another kludge built on top of the kludges we have now.

Why doesn't HTML get an overhaul, with a massive set of new and actually useful and styleable components (e.g., data table with sorting/paging/filtering capabilities built right into the browser), ability to scope CSS, and things like that? That's how the shittiness of web dev can actually be solved so that reliance of client side code can be drastically reduced
Yea, i actually disagree with that. Generally i'm in favor of Beeper Mini if can be used by people who already pay Apple (like i want my Android tablet to have my iPhone iMessage or w/e), but odd to me that they're charging monthly for a service they don't host.

Put a tiny flat rate on the app for the work that they crated and call it a day.

I think that Longshanks' claim to fame, is that he united a much larger part of the British Isles, than anyone before.

That is usually done with a fair bit of brutality, as anyone that has looked past the rose-colored glasses, at the Roman Empire, can tell you.
There ARE alternatives, as posters have noted. In an iMessage to an Android user, I shared some information. Android user said that I could share the info with third user if I were on WhatsApp, but I choose not to use apps owned by companies built upon surveillance capitalism, and soon, using customer data to train AI. (Which may include Apple). Hmmmmmmm.

Guess what? Signal locks out non-Signal users, WhatsApp locks out non-WhatsApp users (AFAICT, I don’t use others, and Signal is refusing to work on my systems for reasons I don’t know, and I can actually live well without it)

That is an aggressive promo strategy for anyone unfamiliar with the industry.

The big problem with bonuses is that they are so easy to exploit so books end up having to do stuff like this. European operators have long worked out how to run these promos but, unsurprisingly, DK is struggling without that knowledge.

A lot of native-US books seem to be like this. Clueless.
>On the other hand, I think weed and alcohol should be legal, despite it affecting people's lives in negative ways, but the majority if their users are completely normal people.

Are you sure you aren't just too used to alcohol being normal? It's probably significantly more destructive than sports betting: https://drugabusestatistics.org/alcohol-related-deaths/

On the other hand, would banning sports betting change much, or would many of those people lose similar amounts of money on day trading or something if it weren't available? Is spending about a hundred bucks a month on some hobby really even that bad in the first place?
I believe that this already works. If you register your phone number to your Apple ID on an iPhone, then Beeper Mini (and/or Cloud) should be able to receive and send messages using your phone number in iMessage just as, say, your Mac can.

Hey there, I'm the marketer on this project. I'd love to know which browser version you're on so we can find the right fix. We thoroughly tested on all major browsers but only the more recent versions so surprised that it's broken on Chrome too. Do let me know and we'll take a look. Thanks!
Appears to be from 2016
I’m confused and not sure what you mean. The device knows what size it’s printing at (e.g. A4 which is 210×297mm). One some devices with bad feeders you might get local error up towards 1% in the feed direction (probably <1‰ in the perpendicular), but on decent printers it’ll always be well below 1%.

If what you printed wasn’t accurate, something else was at play.
I'm a big believer in the approach you're laying out too. Bugs are much easier to diagnose, crash reporting is more straightforward, and you don't need augmented services to consolidate everything at the output layer. That said - I've been predicting a shift back to simple architectures for awhile now and they haven't really come to pass. Maybe there's too much pressure or financial incentives for increasing complexity to solve increasing complexity?

At the end of the day I do believe ergonomics are going to win out. I think that's in large part why pytorch won out over tensorflow and jax; it provided the just-in-time computation that would allow people to more easily find bugs & visualize results without having to `compile()` everything down to a static computation graph. Hardware seems like a natural place for that abstraction layer - but maybe the silver bullet will really be on the software side, since we already have too many "low-RAM" equivalent ML devices in the wild. Cheaper to string things together after the fact vs. shipping net new hardware.
Hi there! I'm the marketer on this project and would love to ensure this works well for everyone. Could you please share what browser version you're on so we can take a look? Thanks!
I’d add that photo and video sharing might not be free as even today it depends on your carrier plan.

> Maybe around you. I probably wouldn't talk about the topic around you if we were in the same circles, because it might feel pointless.

> But it rather seems like you don't even care if it happens or not.

It's easy to conflate what I've said with not caring, but really I'm just dismissing having a low bar for personal emotional investment, particularly when it comes to relatively superficial acts of bringing attention to the issue and letting external sources of emotional stimulation operate my consciousness.

Do you not feel like it's a better idea than ever to be protective of how much of your attention is captured by dopamine farms, whether it's ostensibly related to something people should care about or not?
The only thing this really demonstrates is that non-update-able software DRM doesn't work and Apple didn't introduce a robust hardware attestation mechanism early enough.
I was trying to think of this as well. I think recently there's the great example of NFTs, but in 1998, I think that was around the era Beanie Babies collapsed in part from the speculation/collectible editions and maybe the Baseball Card collapse in the late 90s?

https://allvintagecards.com/sports-card-market-crash-90s/

And maybe in general, at that point, a lot of limited editions existed but were somewhat tacky and obvious, versus naturally limited or collectible items. But I do think around this time we saw a few collectible items go overboard in trying to push the phenomena as far as it could go.
Perverse incentives are one of the worst issues in modern law enforcement. They exist at nearly every step and they are causing a rot that will take decades lot of concentrated effort to remove.

if you build a system, patchwork, entirely reactive, from the deep roots of racism and anti-labor movements (https://time.com/4779112/police-history-origins/)(https://nl... and then ignore the nearly 50% rate of decline in violent crime since 1993(https://www.statista.com/statistics/191129/reported-violent-...), and in fact, have a population undergo a rapid INCREASE in PERCEIVED violent crime (https://content.gallup.com/origin/gallupinc/GallupSpaces/Pro...).... well its hard to be surprised.

If we wanted to actually evolve our system, top to bottom, to focus on reduced recidivism and a reduced prison population without increasing violent crime, one of the first steps we should take is a deep pass over every perverse incentive in the system.

Revenue sources has to be the biggest category. Ignoring salary, there are so many fines and fees that directly fund the police. (https://www.brennancenter.org/series/how-perverse-financial-...)

civil asset forfeiture is plain and open theft, and it directly incentivizes as many arrests as possible.

incarceration facilities of all kinds are funded based on bed space and occupancy for christs sake (https://www.brennancenter.org/series/how-perverse-financial-...)

Military cooperation agreements give all sorts of free military tech to police agencies and swat teams, and they constantly take christmas morning style photos with them (https://wallpapercave.com/wp/wp9861590.jpg). a small town near my hometown had a population of 4500 when the 'police department' (police force was 30ish people) got a fucking APC from the military for free. This was in 2010ish so i cant find a direct source, but i did see it in person.
Not living in US so it's fun to see people poking at big corporations like the mouse-and-cat chase of ad-blockers and anti-ad-blockers. Unfortunately, in the end, it is usually the big companies that have both the moral and technical high grounds, just like YouTube and Reddit did.

Also funny to see HN trashes on Google for their Web Environment Integrity while Apple pulling off the biggest attestation scheme in history (they even shipped attestation in Safari for a year before anyone noticed).
I replaced my mechanical watch with a G-Shock that lasts ten years without charging of any kind. Even my current Garmin will last a week when charged - it will last even longer if I turn off every single feature.

I use the Garmin to track my exercise - I don't care if the mechanical watch will last all my life if it doesn't do what I want it to do, and it's not even that great at the one thing that it does do.

There aren't a lot of normally-priced mechanical watches that get 1 second/day accuracy. That precision can be admired in mechanical watches, but as I said, it becomes a fun expensive hobby.
Ok nice to hear.
The issue isnt a single gamble.

The issue is that gambling companies were able to use their tricks to create addiction.

Sad stuff, no idea the solution. Might be worth teaching people in 10th grade health class brain science on addictions.
It's actually rarely for the judge to decide except in a bench trial.

The other options are: jury trial, plea deal and dismissal.

Almost every case ends in a plea deal which is really just between the prosecutor and the defendant with the judge just putting a stamp on it.

I think you're missing a crucial difference here:

The answer to the latter, for me, is a hard no.
Same. iPhone user since 2009 and Mac user since 2007 and to me this just feels like bullying. I'm definitely rooting for Beeper here. And IMO this weakens Apple's security story (which was for me one of a bunch of reasons to stick with Apple).
You can hide a whole lot of essential complexity in a hardware layer.

However, the very next question a researcher will ask once a model fits on one device is “can I make it twice as fast/big if I use two?”
Beeper Cloud was running on actual Apple hardware until October 2023, which is when they switched to the software emulation approach that Beeper Mini is also employing.
Hi there, I'm the marketer on this project and would love to ensure this works well for everyone. Can you please share which browser version you're using so we can figure out what's going on? Thanks!
It's probably my favorite part of HN, at this point. The reaction from people the other day when Google/Apple admit to cooperating with FIVE-EYES was priceless.
You'd think. But a great big pile of intel-based macs without TPMs are still supported iDevices. And the tail for supporting those macs (that have been on iMessage for some time) might be quite a bit longer than the tail for, say, OS updates to those macs.

So there's quite a window where spoofing that kind of iDevice will be easy.
Yeah, I need to send this to one of my vendors. We send them an order number, and they send us back an order key from their system. However, we can only look up an order by that key, and they will happily accept and process duplicate order numbers. Therefore, if for whatever reason we don't receive a key during the order submission process, we have no way to look up the order afterwards by order number to see if it went through and what the key is. They don't seem to understand why that is bad.
I rather like https://lit.dev/ for web components so far.

For the reactivity stuff, you might want to read https://frontendmasters.com/blog/vanilla-javascript-reactivi... - it shows a bunch of no-library-required patterns that, while in a number of cases I'd much rather use a library myself, all seems at least -basically- reasonable to me and will probably be far more comprehensible to you than whatever I'd reach for, and frameworks are always much more pleasant to approach after you've already done a bunch of stuff by banging rocks together first.
You don't have to get rid of it, just treat as what it is.. a negative addiction pattern. As it is right now, it's a first class member of society in the US. Treat it more like regulated substances like tobacco. Allowed, but with big warnings and not in plain view. I don't know about your harm statistics, but I've personally seen friends irresponsibly lose money after legalization. It used to be much more manageable before.
While this interests me, a lot of this stuff started obscene and became not obscene.

A line of sight, however disappointing is still better than no line of sight.

Maybe it will turn the open source efforts onto these things that are announced.
"Tech debt doesn't matter!"

I'm not a lawyer.

But I do believe there's reason to consider Apple's policy relative to iMessage clients monopolistic. Apple's behavior is not significantly different from Microsoft's, which instigated US v. Microsoft [1]. That case largely took issue with Microsoft's mandatory bundling of IE with Windows and the extent to which Microsoft created an inorganic monopoly. In addition to how Microsoft's monopoly came to be one, the judge also took issue with Microsoft's methodology in quashing threats to that monopoly. One could claim that Apple is taking similar quashing action relative to Beeper now.

Microsoft of course appealed the judgement, and prevailed. But they prevailed only because the judge had broken his code of conduct in discussing the case with media; not because Microsoft's behavior was not monopolistic.

I don't believe global or domestic iMessenger usage is relevant.

Quartz watches go years on a small battery, and keep better time.

Sure, it's admirable engineering, it's just most obsolete. And that's ok!

The role of watches as jewellery has kept mechanicals going far more than practicality.

You have been misled. The truth is that the iMessage keys stored in iCloud are accessible to Apple unless you have enabled the non-default Advanced Data Protection (ADP) feature. This is clearly documented by Apple themselves[1]. And even if you do enable it, your messages are still accessible to Apple in the iCloud backups of the people you are messaging, since they likely didn't enable a non-default feature like ADP. Defaults matter!

At Hasura we’re in the midst of rebuilding our engine in Rust and I just have to say I am super impressed by the number of libraries that have no problem shipping to wasm32-unknown-unknown.

A personal project of mine has been trying to hack apart our newly built engine to shove it in the browser so I can mediate local state with it. It’s going surprisingly well, the only dependencies that gave me any trouble were Axum and open-telemetry both of which aren’t relevant in this case. I am so excited to get SQLite + Hasura engine running in the browser. (Can’t wait until we OSS the v3-engine which is coming soon!)

I’m pretty well sold on Rust, I like the trait system, borrowing isn’t nearly as scary as I think it gets made out to be.

Curious who else is in the midst of a rewrite? It seems like it’s rewrite in Rust season for lots of people.

Anything you’ve learned in the process? Has it been a good decision?
I think it's pretty hard to say that that cultural shift happened in isolation from the reduction in commercial advertising of tobacco products (due to legal bans in the 70s and 80s) and the associated increase in advertising of their negative effects (often paid for by lawsuit settlement money).

Those companies spent billions to shape the cultural perception of smoking through direct advertisement and popular media.
Show HN: Redesigned Caddy homepage, including an On-Demand TLS demo
Phase I of our new website is now live! It better showcases Caddy's unique abilities, and offers many more opportunities to highlight our amazing sponsors who make this project possible.

If Apple had implemented RCS sooner, I don’t think we’d be having this conversation. While a lot of emphasis has been placed on the desirability of the blue bubble, I think it’s important to focus on why: interoperability is artificially bad, and basic things like sending a photo or video are broken in 2023.

Apple made the decision to blend iMessage seamlessly into the phone’s default messaging experience, and with the power of that default, they’ve weaponized the intentional interoperability failure.

Should they be under some obligation to support things they don’t want to? As a product manager, I say that depends on what their customers want out of the devices they’re buying. Apple does owe their users something here, and it’s reasonable to expect that a new device purchased in 2023 is capable of sending a quality photo to other devices. Regardless of obligation, I also think they deserve every bit of anger and bad press they get for the way they’ve played this.

It’s smart business, but that’s not the same thing as good for consumers.

Ask HN: Have you ever had a "middle-out epiphany"?
In S01E08 of Silicon Valley, during a certain scene about phallic physics, the founder of Pied Piper
suddenly has an epiphany about "middle-out compression", leading to the revolutionary compression algorithm that ends up saving their arses and getting them funded.

Have you ever had a groundbreaking idea come to you like an epiphany, all at once - as opposed to gradually through deliberate brainstorming - that solved a major technical problem for you, and what was it?
Oh come on, are you claiming you don't have arbitrary actions/clothing/language that you treat as a status signal amongst your in group? Have you forgotten what it was like to be a teenager?

What is wrong with the poisonous tree doctrine in your opinion? I find it isn't used widely enough against police and prosecutor misconduct. There are too many ways out of it for them.
This clearly isn't going to be solved through technical means. It makes me wonder - if Apple were to stop obstructing interoperability, how much the resulting market for competition to iMessage and other parts of the walled garden be worth? A couple billion dollars? With today's valuations, probably closer to trillions.

Why then VCs aren't willing to spend a fraction of that - say a couple billion - to invest into a crack team of lawyers and sue the shit out of Apple over this issue? When at least one side of the suit is a corporation, my understanding is that American justice system is basically the game of who can outspend whom. Surely enough VCs could outspend Apple on this while still securing some probable profit in the end?

Why is this not happening?
