Esports betting is the wild west frontier, targetting kids. It's one of the trifecta of biggest stains on professional Counter-Strike, along with Saudi and UAE money and weapon skins gambling.

Edit: Vast majority of CS tournaments are structured into two phases, "groups" and playoffs. Losing a match in groups means falling through into the "lower bracket", one Major tournament (ESL Pro League) even has three brackets. This leads to many "upsets" as the top teams play the opening matches against much lower-ranked opponents half-asleep, and then march through to (semi-)finals through the lower/lowest bracket. This effect was clearly demonstrated in a recent tournament with no second chances (Gamers8), where every underdog got eliminated in the first round. i don't bet on CS because of the unpredictability enabled by bracketing, but anyone could have made a shit ton of money by betting on the higher-ranked teams in the first round of Gamers8. I'm convinced the bracketing is a result of collusion between tournament organizers and bookmakers, their major sponsors.
> American infrastructure in many ways has been designed to enable speeding cars.

Yup, that's the big one. In the US people don't just run into pedestrians, they also routinely crash into buildings. That's practically unheard of in Europe.

A lot of roads in the US are designed for driver safety. This means making them really wide and getting rid of all obstacles. Drivers will drive at the speed they feel safe at. Because everything is designed like a highway, everyone is speeding all the time - without even meaning to. You can't just plonk down a speed limit sign and expect people to drive at that speed, you have to design the road for a specific speed.

To give an example, the smallest legal US street is wider that a highway lane in The Netherlands. All the things like bigger cars and cellphone usage have an impact too, but when drivers are driving slowly and looking out the window because they feel unsafe it's way less of a problem. No wonder there's a ton of accidents in the US!
I would’ve been interested to learn how much it costs to train these models using their platform. Like, a 70b model - are we talking millions of dollars here?
Does it still count as idempotent if you achieve it by adding a timestamp parameter to each function to specify which version of the global state you want to use?
My link is specifically talking about Mini; they indicate this behavior was on "the updated version of Beeper Mini".
This is my bet also
I'm just glad to see Apple's proprietary gatekeeping being challenged and this app has helped bring "green bubble bullying" to the fore. A lot of Apple fans seems to applaud Apple for acting ethically (at least relative to other big tech) and I hope they now view this marketing tactic by Apple as unethical and demand it be stopped.
There is PyInstaller, cx_Freeze, etc. for that.

I've used PyInstaller to create standalone Windows EXEs for simple programs like command-line utilities, and even for simple wxPython GUI apps.

Worked well, although I've read that there may be some issues for more complex or bigger apps.
In contrast, Hackers had a mix of "that's how it's down, IRL" and wholly created fantasy hacking. Both were entertaining films, imo, albeit with entirely different approaches to hacking.
We are talking about very big models which training requires an enormous amount of hardware. Not sure how scalable HuggingFace transformer for training such models is.
whoah there cowboy. Im not in medicine. I'm in research.
Can confirm. I worked at a small statistics consultancy where the owner did some expert testimony, and you have to reveal what you charge. The opposing side was often paying 500+/hr for shoddy work!

I think we've seen stories of Ivy League professors charging thousands per hour, and making the bulk of their income this way. Not sure how high it goes in the most high-profile cases.
He said “at least”.

And he specified “guilty of what they were charged with”.

You also need to factor in the people who are guilty of crime A (that they did commit but were not convicted of) but are convicted of crime B (that they did not commit) for whatever reason.

I’ve seen “street justice” like this. In some cases I think it a net good (right outcome for the wrong reasons, typically involving a serial criminal who manages to avoid the “smoking gun”), but sometimes it’s just an abuse of power that needs to be rectified.
I don’t believe every chat application should be required to have completely open APIs. Key factors in my mind:

- iMessage isn’t a chat app. It’s the default experience for sending the equivalent of text messages from the Apple ecosystem. They’ve blended the experiences such that it’s not fair to compare it to a traditional chat app

- 3rd party chat apps are cross platform. The only reason Beeper exists is because there is no first party option to interact with iMessage chats outside of the ecosystem. This is not the case for actual “chat apps”, and the non-existence of APIs takes on lesser relevance
The EU has already decided the iMessage is not a gatekeeper.
Not sure if it's a conspiracy theory or a known thing but I read it once and it stuck in my mind that Google's projects are a form of distraction and friction to prevent people catching up with them (e.g. HTTP3).
Una nuova minaccia di sicurezza, chiamata SLAM, è emersa mettendo a repentaglio le CPU di Intel, AMD e Arm. Questa vulnerabilità, basata sulla famiglia di attacchi Spectre, potrebbe permettere la fuoriuscita di informazioni sensibili dalla memoria del kernel.

Ricercatori della Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam hanno scoperto che SLAM sfrutta una caratteristica recente nelle CPU Intel, AMD e Arm per rivelare dati sensibili. Questo attacco, che si basa su una nuova funzionalità chiamata Linear Address Masking (LAM) in Intel, Upper Address Ignore (UAI) in AMD e Top Byte Ignore (TBI) in Arm, mette a repentaglio la sicurezza dei sistemi.

Secondo i ricercatori di VUSec, SLAM sfrutta "gadget non mascherati" per far sì che processi non privilegiati possano accedere a informazioni riservate dal kernel. Questo potrebbe portare al compromesso dell'hash della password di root in pochi minuti.

La scoperta di questa vulnerabilità arriva dopo mesi di indagini sulla sicurezza delle CPU. Mentre Intel e AMD stanno lavorando per affrontare questa minaccia, i sistemi basati su Arm hanno già implementato mitigazioni per proteggersi da attacchi simili.

Gli esperti di sicurezza consigliano l'aggiornamento costante dei sistemi operativi e l'applicazione tempestiva delle patch di sicurezza per proteggere le CPU da queste vulnerabilità emergenti.

And conversely, it's a good litmus whether to listen to the "experts" on websites like this one. So many would discount literally any image/video evidence just because of JBIG2's pattern matching or Samsung's ML model of the moon, without bothering to think about what's actually happening in the relevant pipeline.

Nothing wild about using Linux on an embedded system. It's done extensively.
Wi-Fi 7? I don't know many devices that support that. Even 6 is still somewhat rare, only available on the latest WAPs.

Or is this something unrelated?

I'd posit that legal actions provide lubricant for shifts in social consensus. We could probably argue chickens and eggs for awhile though.
Email is quintessentially "fire and forget" message passing, so there's no way to guarantee mail has been delivered and no way to "pull it back".

You can embed tracking in your email to see if it's been opened, and not resend in that case, but this will be flakey as it's easy to disable email trackers.

Final result: Apple releases official iMessage client for android, but messages sent from it show up with a little green android icon in the corner. :)
You should read this book.

Beeper Cloud was running for years before, and Apple released a statement at the time they blocked Beeper Mini. This was not automated.
Inverted Y axis?! I get marketing probably wanted them on the top right hand corner as “best” but it makes me cringe seeing this.
That doesn't seem like a comparable scenario; Apple implements the Bluetooth standard (along with a bunch of others), which is defined by industry groups.

In this case, it's not a standard.
Just a shot in the dark hypothesis. Given the congestion is the issue and solely on the density of the population of AP's per given square meter (or cubic meter in apartments etc). I propose that AP's delegate the broadcast power based on real time bandwidth requirements based on upstream incoming packets to be retransmitted to the hosts either by the assumed internet interface or other attached to the AP. If the power is sufficient for transmitting the appropriate packets per second, given the bandwidth demands and latency requirements would it not increase available transmission spectrum for a collective dense environment?
In this case it was purportedly invented by a Chinese-American barback in a Polynesian themed establishment quite visibly owned by a white guy, named after a city in Burma, and then later adopted by a slice of American Chinese restaurants. I think it's reasonable (but not required) to consider it less Chinese than food developed more solidly within the American Chinese food tradition.

> (This is true of “<ethnicity> food” in the US generally, its not specific to Chinese food.)

Outside the US too. I remember ducking into a hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant in Poland and finding that everything was served with a very Eastern European cabbage and carrot salad.
The funniest outcome with this whole “Apple vs. Beeper” saga would be if Apple said, “Fine use the iMessage protocol. We won’t break interoperability and you can even have full feature parity…

BUT… Any messages sent this way will still show up as the dreaded “Green Bubble”.

(I hope Eric and the Beeper team can pull through!)
Nah it's all the fault of touchscreens.
> Does this make you less likely to purchase an Apple device in the future?

Does for myself. Knowing that Apple has the capabilities yet not willing to implement them.

The disconnect is real. I don't own Facebook, nor use WhatsApp neither do I want to use either.

Other applications do exist but the learning curve and convincing family to use shouldn't be something I need to do. Nor how do I know they'll survive in the next five years?

Yes, RCS will happen but its long overdue.
Which other 3 platforms come preinstalled?

Edit: wait, are you talking about iMessage being preinstalled? If so, how does iMessage being preinstalled make it dwarfed by other non-preinstalled platforms? Are you suggesting it’s human nature to use third party apps, or maybe you mistook the meaning of “dwarfed by”?
OP is talking about advertisers on x/twitter though, not ads directly paying to Jone's.
People exist who basically can’t think in writing, on their own. They need someone actively working with them, in conversation, to put their thoughts together coherently—and, sometimes, for them to be able to understand others, as no amount of carefully and thoughtfully composed prose will get ideas into their heads without misunderstanding. IME they’re well-represented in management and other leadership. Not the majority, but there are lots of them. Some make it all the way to the top.

I get why such folks might hate WFH, especially if they believe that their personal difficulties are more common than they are, so others must not be able to function as remote workers, either, and especially that people couldn’t possibly efficiently come up with and refine ideas under remote work.
> A security hole existed that permitted Beeper to pretend to be your Apple device.

_An_ Apple device. Not _your_ Apple device.
It's also the only timekeeping device that will still work after three days away from an electric plug, and the only one you would wear all you life.

1 second/day is 10 PPM. Reaching that accuracy with only mechanical means in a device small and robust enough to be worn on the body is something to admire, not to fault for its limits.
Most criminals can't afford expert witnesses. It is as simple as that. The court is supposed to intervene and force the State to pay for them, but it's such a nightmare it rarely happens.

I had an expert witness testify for the prosecution against me and I thought he was fantastic, very fair and very knowledgeable.
Michal Strehovsky rocks. I appreciate that he pushes the edge from within Microsoft :)
Let's say that Apple is forced to allow third parties to use iMessage. Can't Apple just make the cost prohibitively high?
That's what JavaFX does (https://openjfx.io/openjfx-docs/#modular), but the problem is that Maven and Gradle don't support that well, which is why few libraries do that.

The idea is that an application is best deployed with a custom runtime created with jlink (well, all Java runtime these days are created by jlink and so every Java program uses jlink whether it knows it or not, but few use it directly because, well, Maven and Gradle don't support jlink well, and so few applications use jlink well), and jmod files are jlink's input from which it generates the image.

Anyway, build tools aside, a library can be distributed as a jmod file, consuming it with jlink places the native libraries in the right place, and that's about it.
Well, you can't pass legislation to shut down the school shootings factory or invade climate change's homeland. However, Europe has shown us that tying your economy's profitability to a basis of digital standards can easily compel more open behavior.

Given that Apple is quite literally the Largest Company, they're somewhere on that list. Maybe not next to abortions and climate change, but Apple antitrust is an inevitability unless they get smaller or the economy gets bigger.
Apple has every right in the world to use open source software if they comply with the code's license. The Beeper client has no right to interact with Apple's servers in a way that involves faking an Apple authorization.

Apple has chosen not to provide an iMessage client. The mere possibility for one existing does not mean Apple can be forced into providing or tolerating one, given that it involves cost on Apple's server side, no matter how small that might be to them (how can you even tell?).

The fact that US teenages stigmatize each other has nothing to do with Apple's business. Apple has always advertized iMessage as an Apple-only messaging platform. If teenagers are to be protected here, it is up to US legislation to create a law that prevents the undesired behavior. Until such a law is present, what Apple is doing is legal, and what Beeper is doing is probably not, they're certainly creating server upkeep costs that they do not pay Apple for, despite Apple telling them clearly not to do so.
How have I missed Uno! I was familiar with Avalonia, but first time hearing about Uno. I'd love to see more UI frameworks for .NET that also work on Linux.
This seems like a sheets implementation of something like ChainForge (https://github.com/ianarawjo/ChainForge).

It's curious that Anthropic is entering the LLMOps tooling space ---this definitely comes as a surprise to me, as both OpenAI and HuggingFace seem to avoid building prompt engineering tooling themselves. Is this a business strategy of Anthropic's? An experiment? Regardless, it's very cool to see a company like them throw their hat into the LLMOps space beyond being a model provider. Interested to see what comes next.
I believe this to be true, but to be honest, back when I made the switch, I was also considering the convenience factor.
Well, instead he waited until we were almost out of money, then laid off a very large percentage of the company one morning.
Can you even bet with CSGO skins anymore? Once CSGOLounge went down, it seems like that scene died off for the most part.
> If Apple continues to cut off Beeper's access, it makes an antitrust argument stronger

I'm not sure why everyone thinks it is an antitrust issue when it isn't. There is no legal obligation to support your services and software on third party platforms.

Yep, I already pay for iCloud, Applecare on several devices and yet I am still punished by Apple via iMessage for using Android as my main device. (I also own a newish iPhone but even that's not good enough without workarounds to use my primary phone number with iMessage).

I don't like the idea of ever being bound to a single ecosystem and Apple's lack of interoperability by design keeps me using many Google services because they offer almost everything for both iOS and Android.
Same answer either way; Beeper could break things in a way that results in delivery failures, and Apple could be blamed.
You would be shocked at how bad/slow addition is in a CPU/GPU or any digital ALU.
Got myself a apple ID for fun but cannot sign in, as SMS second factor fails in Beeper Mini. Wonder if they found another way again to detect the 'fraud'.
Exactly, iMessage is not a product they want to sell or spread around, it is a marketing tool that loses it's potency once it's not exclusive.

>The whole "green bubble" shaming issue.

Even if that's a real thing and not an imaginary or minor phenomenon hyped up for clicks, it is hardly anti-trust-worthy.

70% of American teenagers may have access to iMessage due to it being on their phones but there is a 0.0% chance that, in aggregate, iMessage is in their top five most-used messaging apps.
I'm not on twitter (and out of the loop with what people are arguing about on the internet) so maybe this will come off as brain dead but I think i'm missing context here. Why was he so mad about asking what Antifada means? why did you ask him that? confused on all of this tbh
Maybe you already know this, but you seem particularly focused on getting into YC. So much so that it seems like your goal in building companies is getting into YC. Going through YC is a potential step in building a company, not the reason to build the company.
Disney World starts banning third-party tour guides
There is a very intense backlash against technology like React, due to the unbelievable complexity that has crept into building “modern” JS apps.

This backlash is quite understandable. I believe Ember/React/Vue/Angular/etc. were all created with good intentions, but with the ecosystems of bolted-on technologies and now-necessary build tools, they have all become unmanageable monstrosities.

So people want to go “back to basics”. Personally, while I loved Ember with CoffeeScript (talking to a Django server via JSON) in 2015-2017, I can’t even revive the app I built without a massive effort to upgrade and ditch all the deprecated, unsupported dependencies (which might take more time than modifying my actual app code).

So I’m just going to rewrite the Web client with htmx (with Django rendering the actual templates). No churn and dependency hell, no build tools, no nonsense. Just a single script tag and some HTML attributes. For special cases that can’t be covered by htmx, there’s hyperscript (just add another script tag). Since browsers intend to maintain backward compatibility indefinitely, forced upgrades should be minimal to non-existent.

It’s a shame JS ended up being perceived as a villain, because it was meant to enable rich client applications within browsers, which are the most universally-compatible and commodified client you can possibly run such apps in.
Yep, this is an unpopular HN opinion, but I actually like Apple's walled garden. It's safe, it's friendly and I don't have to worry.
Correct me if I'm off base here, but this seems to be absolute nonsense:

> Like many on EM, Ross was never granted movement outside his home even once, not even to buy food. His sister, a manager at Securitas, helped when she could, but work got in the way sometimes, he said.

So, they replaced the box you sit in with a box that you pay for and provide no additional services with all the same restrictions. What the fuck is the point of these programs? I can understand wanting to use EM to ensure someone shows up to a trial, but this geofencing stuff is absolute madness. It just reintroduces the problem that made prisons and jails problematic in the first place. If someone is a non-threat enough to let them live in society with a bracelet then let them live.
Let's not turn mountains into molehills here, Twitter isn't really closed, it's just authwalled. So, burner email is all you need to read all the tweets, errr, X's?, that you want.

Also, far simpler to take care of beeper, just make all the message bubbles the same color. They'd lose their entire userbase if that happened.
Other types of B2B companies also have to sell, but SaaS companies are pretty unique due to their zero marginal cost of sales. Physical product companies have to sell AND buy inventory in order to be able to sell more. Services companies have to sell AND hire and train more billable employees in order to sell more.
Nobody I know in the US uses WhatsApp. This has been repeated ad nauseam in other comments. I don’t know why this is, but in the US people tend to use the default message apps on their phones to text each other.

The only other app that I’ve seen used in several places is GroupMe, but that’s typically reserved for large groups (more than 10 people or so) that may include people you’re not friends with, but more acquaintances. So it’s been used for school classes, community groups, and things like that.

Me and my friends don’t care about green vs blue bubbles or any of that garbage. We just want to be able to communicate over the paid cellular plan that we already have. What happens in Europe has no bearing on this. All I pointed out by my comment above is that this is a problem and there are people that would like a solution.

And, not that this matters, I’m writing this on my iPhone. But, this is still an annoying problem to me because much of my family and some of my friends use android. Apple degrades my experience with family and friends for no technical reason. The only reason they do this, presumably, is to retain a large market share and promote some stupid “exclusivity” ideal that appeals to some people.
