I don't know. I've spoken to FBI computer forensics guys and their computer knowledge was up there with mine in terms of hardware, software, OS etc. I've been very, very impressed with them.

The problems come when they pass their data to the prosecution and defense who are not computer trained and it all goes sour from there on.

It's pretty clear why they don't want an android iMessage app.

In this case, what beeper enables (if successful) potentially is to use Apple's infra for future communication between android to android phones, or android to iMessage groups, while on Apple's infra and dime. Beeper will likely collect a fee for it as well. Thats not a position Apple would want to be in.

Apple doesn't need to provide support for Android if they simply open their protocol and let whoever develops the Android client take care of that, as evidenced by Beeper Mini.

> If Beeper catches on, and all my Android friends install it, and some of my messages start getting lost, delayed, what have you, that's when I'd start to feel it.

In that case, you might be shocked to learn that before Beeper Mini you simply couldn't send iMessages to Android devices at all. Imagine that, ALL of your iMessages to them getting dropped and having to go through SMS instead...

What I'm most interested in with abstraction is how easy it is to change something that doesn't fit neatly inside of the abstraction framework. It looks like the model is pretty flexible as it's just plain pytorch, I couldn't immediately tell about other aspects of the training - for example they have their own optimizer, what if I want to change something?

There are lots of "just one line of python" type frameworks that are fine if you want to do the one thing in the demo but are more complicated than just writing it yourself if you have to change something.
The sports betting craze is really interesting to me. I'm from upstate NY and I remember when it got legalized I didn't think much about it. Let people do what they want. I won't play because I don't gamble.

Then when I was hope for the holidays and every man I knew from my home town that was near my age was doing it. They'd watch a basketball game only to see if their 8 leg parlay would hit. Whatever app they were using even listed your all time wins/loses (probably legally required) and _all_ of them had all time loses over $500 and it had only been legalized a few months prior.

It's just a drain on the average person, the same was cigarettes are. I struggle with the freedom for personal choice to do what you want vs the collective better situation we get to form for ourselves as a society by banning these things, but I think I'm just leaning more towards the latter now. 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.

This is such a tricky subject to me and I guess I'll just stop rambling now, but I am interested in what other people thing about societal restriction for a better group vs personal freedoms.
Is it eliminated or just pushed out of most public spaces?
I'd argue that very little - or even no - math is required to teach the concepts.

The ideas of standard deviation and confidence intervals can be taught visually, for instance. You needn't be able to calculate them to understand what they mean when they're presented.

This image is really funny.

I think your Levi’s analogy is underselling it. I don’t know what % of gold income went to buying pants but I doubt it’s as high as an AI startups GPU costs. It’s really interesting that NVidia could be getting a huge chunk of this investment money back as revenue. This investment plan would probably be profitable just from driving up valuations and getting other investor’s money as sales revenue even if their equity positions go to zero.

Really though, they probably invest by giving GPUs or future-looking GPU commitments at-cost so they get equity at a discount equal to whatever margin they have in their chips.
This makes sense on a number of fronts.

1. If you have capital to invest, you could do worse than AI startups at the moment.

2. Nvidia's long-term threat is not just direct competitors (AMD, Intel), but the big cloud-players going to in-house chips. Supporting the next wave of your customers makes sense.

3. Using Nvidia is the path of least resistance right now. If you only invest in startups using your products (and you are an active investor), you give startups another reason to avoid taking a risk on the alternative.

I don't think that is their intention but yeah they need to clarify publish as sell or the start of sale. Later in that answer <For non-content patches (with the exclusive intention of keeping the game compliant with the current SDKs), post-launch, no license is required. However, keep in mind you won’t have access to the repositories if you don’t have an active license.> would suggest continued sale without license is ok.
Tech journalists have noted that this kind of reverse engineering for the purpose of interoperability is specifically covered (allowed) by applicable laws. I’m not well versed in the related laws, but it at least seems on the surface that lawsuits may not be the end here.

If it’s a security issue, that’s on Apple’s architecture. They can cat and mouse this, but the more times they catch the mouse, the worse this looks for Apple because it effectively means that iMessage was never secure to begin with. Only time will tell how effectively they can address this.
All these things are bad, too.

Its the ruling that would predictably lead to outright bribery of Congress, but SCOTUS thought it would violate the rights of money?!?!, so they allowed literal bribery of congress.
I don't agree with the GP, but I tthink the logic is that most of the money that AI startups pay is ultimately going to Nvidia. So, if most of the money is coming from Nvidia and going back to Nvidia, then Nvidia is self-dealings to some extent and artificially increasing their own valuation.

Of course, this doesn't make it a Ponzi scheme, it would at best be a different type of fraud. And it ignores the fact that the money isn't moving so directly - the AI companies are typically buying GPU compute power from a cloud provider, and it is the cloud provider paying Nvidia.

Still, if you're investing in Nvidia, you should keep an eye on this. It may mean that some of the increased demand for Nvidia GPUs is artificially sustained by Nvidia itself.

Yes, it absolutely is. It claimed to be a UNIX clone. Having Borne shell and UUCP doesn't make it UNIX. Stallman was responsible quite a bit of the standards for UNIX. Coherent did its own thing.

Coherent didn't have STREAMS, how could it be UNIX w/o STREAM? How about symbolic links? What? No links? What about TLI? What no TLI? How about any functioning IPC mechanism. 16 character file name max? Common. You have no idea what you're talking about. You ran a BBS.

> This was a 1980s product. No 1980s Unix was compatible with any other. That's why the iBCS existed:

This is not true. See Stallman's work on the IEEE committee. The push for standardization began in the early 1980s. Again, you don't know what you're talking about. You link the ABI, yet, that had nothing to do with the standardization.

Coherent was release in the early 1980s. Everything you discussed came well after UNIX started losing market share to Linux.

It's pointless to discuss this w/ someone like you.

Everyone uses (byte pair encoding)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_pair_encoding] to generate their tokens; the tokens are whatever emerge from this. They will typically correspond to the most common substrings in the training corpus in, handwaving a bit, a max-cover sense; it's an encoding which attempts to best compress the data the tokenizer was trained on.
A lot of people in that 5% take a plea for a crime they didn't commit because the plea is so sweet it saves them from trial on all of the charges, some of which they clearly did commit and might receive a higher sentence for than the plea deal.

The overcharging is a trick by the prosecution to secure the plea.

I see people charged with murder who plead to manslaughter when the case was manslaughter from the beginning, but who risks going to trial and being found guilty of murder? Minimum on murder is usually 20 years straight, whereas manslaughter is usually probationable.
This does however feel a bit like that "big data" phenomenon, where most companies deploy ridiculously overcomplicated distributed data clusters, where their actual problems could be handled much more simply, cheaply and efficiently, by a single server with a lots of RAM and a solution somewhere on the spectrum between "bunch of UNIX pipes with standard UNIX text processing tools" and "tuned PostgreSQL" / "tuned in-memory SQLite".

That is: a lot of distributed big data processing tasks don't need to be distributed. Perhaps with beefy enough matrix multiplication chips, a lot of "big ML" tasks won't need to be distributed either.

Apple does not "get away" with offering an inferior product. Any other messenger can be installed on Apple's devices and the OS does not penalize the user in any way for choosing e.g. WhatsApp over iMessage.

This is an extreme hyperbole, capitalism isn't going to fail because some people think less of "green bubble folks". Also, that scheme failed in any other market than the US. US folks engaging in bullying because of some messenger preferences does not mean you get to dictate the market, and if it does, please provide me some information about that law from which you derive that justification.

Aside from being entitled and incompetent, they've brought domestic violence into the workplace to obfuscate this fact. They know it, and they live in fear of having what they do to others done to them. You see it in prison too-- the tension is palpable.

Yes, we have commercials and billboards and convenience stores with big billboards saying they sold a winning ticket.

I don't really buy the argument that if advertising is bright and colorful, it's distinctly targeted to children. Most advertising is bright and colorful. The only decent argument from the smoking / vape wars was Joe Camel because he was a cartoon character, but I didn't know who Joe Camel was until I was ad adult. I think the advertising to children because it contains non-unusual ________ argument is pretty weak.

If you mean advertise where children would be able to see it, absolutely, all over the place.
Yeah, given shifts in social consensus also provide lubricants for lawsuits (and laws). One would have to study the issue harder than I have--and I'm sure people have and probably written books. But certainly there was a massive shift in most places that probably isn't explained by either legal actions or higher taxes.
Even if it is done on device, the Beeper app is an effective MITM on what should be communications between official clients. It could have security issues, be logging everything to disk, or include a third party analytics SDK that is snarfing data for marketing. Like I said, if they want to flag the communications as being from an unofficial client I am ok with that.
Acquiring Beeper would paint a giant target on the iMessage team. "Reverse engineer iMessage to make an Android app and get a payday from Apple, guaranteed!" 0% likelihood of that.

It would make more sense for Google to acquire them, and start the inevitable court fight with the best legal team money can buy instead of whatever Beeper can afford right now. But Google would probably prefer to stay out of it, so it remains a David and Goliath fight as long as possible.

okay, Launch4j is new to me - but this seems to only work for Windows

I find the whole situation a bit silly, bc obviously it's creating an executable under the hood somewhere. The official tools just don't expose it to you.

I think what I could do is to run the installers on all target systems and then pull out the executables manually. I just think that'd be a bit difficult/annoying to make as part of a CI system

People think it is a problem because with AI startups most of the money in these investments comes right back to nvidia as revenue.

So nvidia gets to do this:

1) start with $100 M

2) invest in startup

3) get investment worth at least $120 M (investment at discount)

4) reflect 20% gain on books

5) receive $80 M in guaranteed revenue (H100s)

So before the inevitable long-term failure of 90% of these startups, nvidia gets to reflect a nearly immediate 100% gain on any money they run through this.

Then they use the gain to invest in more startups where the only thing guaranteed is the purchase of nvidia chips.

When the startups go to zero and the market is flooded with used H100s they probably believe they will release a new arch and repeat.

The difference is that cigarettes directly affect people around you via secondhand smoke, which is a clear externality.

The real problem with sports betting is the immoral anticompetitive behavior of the gambling companies, which kick any "smart" money with too high of win rates off of their platforms. And that means that the gambling platforms aren't just platforms allowing the spreads to be set by users, but also active participants trying to use their own predictions to gamble against their users or tweak the spread, essentially double dipping.
I didn’t mention this, because it doesn’t matter. I use an iPhone. I’m writing this on an iPhone. I use a MacBook. Why the heck should I care about my friends and family paying some “Apple status” fee to get an iPhone just so I can share pictures and videos with them?

> iPhone users mostly just want android users to get iphones. Doesn't matter why.

This is anecdotal. Where is the data proclaiming this? I’ve never personally met somebody that cares what brand of phone you have.

And I guess it should also be said, I don’t use drugs or anything. I just want to be able to message friends and family without pointless restrictions. I don’t know where you’re getting these ideas from.
I was agreeing with/augmenting your larger point: I don't see how you can do any justice to the subject at all without calculus, just like I don't see the point in teaching a bunch of solutions to memorize to particular setups and calling it physics.

Even Bayes' theorem is, IMO, most obvious in the continuous setting where you can interpret it in terms of relative areas, which gives a nice, easy picture. Making big tables and trees obscures the basic geometry.

>Prosecutors are incentivized to get convictions,

Their entire job is to get convictions. It literally doesn't matter if the prosecutor thinks someone should be convicted or not, that's for the judge to decide. The job of a prosecutor is to make as strong a case for conviction as he possibly can.

Likewise, the job of a lawyer representing a defendant is to make as strong a case for acquittal as he possibly can. Whether the lawyer thinks someone should be acquitted or not literally doesn't matter.
Beeper is trying to build a business based on unauthorized use of another company's servers. Apple customer's pay the Apple premium for their phones and get iMessage at no charge for the life of the device. Beeper charges its customers for a service that is paid for by Apple. How is that ok?

>> "only a few can use"

There are about 1.5 billion iPhone users in the world.

As far as proprietary services, the world is full of them. Google, Meta, X, Instagram, .... Apple built a service to provide advanced messaging services to their many customers. It comes with the phone. Should Apple be required to freely give iPhone cameras to people who don't buy their phone? How about the Touch ID module?

There are plenty of cross platform messaging apps available on iOS. The only thing that could be considered anti-competitive is the inability to change the default messaging app on iOS. Apple has fixed this for some of the other built-in apps, but not messaging yet. I would agree that that should be fixed. However, Beeper is not offering an alternative messaging platform, they are selling access to Apple's platform.
That's what I did for my website. Combined with goldmark for writing my pages in markdown, I really like it.

One irritating thing is that there are at least 4 different senses of "idempotent" in the wild:

* In the object-oriented sense, `obj.f(args...)` does not mutate `obj` after the first time.

* For pure unary functions, `f∘f === f` - that is, repeated application does not change the result, e.g. `abs(abs(x)) === abs(x)`

* For pure binary functions, `f(x, x) === x`. I'm not sure how useful this is but it seems to be used in math.

* For pure binary functions, `f(x, a) === x` and/or `f(a, x) === x`. These would probably be individually called left-idempotent and right-idempotent in some order, along with two-sided idempotent for the combination (akin to left identity (related!), left inverse, etc.); notably these are more general than (and all imply) the above. This could be extended to further arities; usually the preserved element will be either first or last in sane functions. "and not" works in one direction; many functions like "bitwise and", "bitwise or", "min", and "max" work in both directions.
> iMessage … messaging platform

For me, personally, it’s an SMS app not general messaging. And on iOS there is absolutely no competition for SMS by design.

I suspect iMessage would enjoy far less adoption if the iMessage features were a separate application from the SMS features, or if a 3rd party app could assume the role of handling SMS (I.E. Signal).

If Signal were allowed to handle SMS on an iPhone, ditching iMessage would be one of the first things I’d do when setting up my device.

On iOS, if I want to send a message to a phone number using a cross-platform protocol that (nearly?) all cellphones understand by default without coordinating a separate communication channel out-of-band, my option is: iMessage. That is not organic, it’s Apple using its position as the device manufacturer to force all competition out of the SMS space, and then offering a “progressive enhancement” on top of an open protocol that nobody else can compete with or interopt with.
Trumpet Winsock anyone?
The number of bits in Fib(n) is O(n), not O(log n).
Put differently, Fib(n) grows exponentially.
To be precise, Fib(n) = (phi^n - (-phi)^(-n)) / sqrt(5).
So the complexity to compute Fib(n) is O(n) time (or slower).
And one algorithm that runs this fast is to compute the n-th
power of [[1,1],[1,0]] (using repeated squaring and large integer arithmetic).
