Strategic Partnerships are one of the best distribution channels but finding the best partners usually takes too long and there's no way to know which companies are open to that.

With PartnerChain, users can directly communicate with the right people in charge of partnerships in each company that's actively collaborating, they can close agreements with transparency and build up a reputation as a great partner for their company.
> 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.

Now they have to support an open standard/protocol, though. That's not negligible effort.

> 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...

But that's seamless; I've never had to wait or make that choice.

When there's some kind of iMessage failure, though, they sit around and don't send, until I get a delivery failure and "send as SMS" as the fallback. This is rare, but extremely annoying. Adding third-party services into the mix doesn't seem like it's going to reduce these instances.

I've been playing around with HTMX with Django, and it seems simple enough for server side rendering. It works well with the Django templating system.

I feel like as an industry we should step back and take a serious look at front end frameworks from first principles. One aspect that's clear to me, is that we should make modifications to HTML to support HTMX like transactions.

Very delayed reply here, but it's a timing attack, I think.

If the government has access to telco resources (I think it's safe to assume that they can and do), then they can line up the timing of a chat message with the push notifications it triggers.

If we are chatting and the government doesn't know who I am, it will only be a matter of time before the number and timing of the push notifications I receive line up in a unique way to the messages you sent me. That would work for every member of the group.

Apple could bundle up multiple push notifications to obfuscate it a bit, but it would hurt real-time communications and wouldn't be that strong of a mitigation anyway.
At what point does Apple start a lawsuit? I hope they don't, but I can't see them ignoring this.
Yeah kinda salty about northern WA has exploded. I'm nominally from there and think about moving back... but then a house costs just as much as much of the rest of the US so might as well stay where it's warm.
"betting parlors"...I have never heard of this term used anywhere. You have high-street bookmakers, there are a lot of regulations about what they can and can't do, they aren't a very big part of the business anymore (and have been in decline for about ten years).

Most old men used to meet up with their friends and put a line on for the races...you don't enjoy that, maybe you don't have friends to go places with but other people did...what is the issue? The government has wisely cracked down on FBOTs, the worst part of that model that appeared after sports betting moved online. The culture that exists today (as this industry disappears) is nothing to do with what it was (and, btw, the move online has seen the vig go down by something like 90%...so that isn't bad either).

The really weird one is casinos in the US: until Adelson died, both parties largest donors were the casino industry...now it just the Dems. You have zero harm protection, zero regulations, and massive levels of political corruption.

In the UK, these companies pay lots of tax, they invest heavily in technology, and until last year were the only people funding gambling addiction...the government, which runs the healthcare system, refused to do so.

The rate of harm from online gambling is usually under 1% and highest in markets that are either overregulated (i.e. Hong Kong) or unregulated (i.e. US). You "lose" every time you go to the cinema, buy food, do anything by your terms is a loss. You want to gamble on sports, someone will take your bet, what is the issue? Casino/table games are pointless, but this isn't what "betting parlors" are and this isn't the culture in Europe which skews heavily towards sports betting, which is relatively low-harm.

Again, look at the US: crypto, zero-day options, etc. There is value in having an outlet, because people are going to do this stuff whether it is legal or not.

> the allocation traffic in applications can be pretty high

My use case is such that I have already done everything in my power to minimize allocations, but I have to use some parts of the framework which generate a small amount of ambient trash as a consequence of their operation. My desire to suppress GC is not so much about my own allocation story as it is keeping the gentle, gradual allocations from auxiliary framework items from triggering a nasty GC pause.

My biggest pain point - every time an HttpContext is used there is some degree of trash that accumulates. I have zero control over this unless I want to write my own HTTP+web socket implementation from zero.

The current solution for me is to GC as often as possible in workstation mode, but I would find a zero GC solution even better for this specific scenario. I suspect "rapid GC" is only sustainable while total working set remains small-ish. In the future, I may want to operate with working sets measured upwards of 10 gigabytes.

Part of it is the ubiquity of advertising, and the ability to gamble from anywhere using your phone. Both of which make it much easier to develop a gambling addiction, and much harder for and addict to stop gambling.

Sports betting also has the unique issue of introducing corruption into sports. A league like the NFL has a huge number of players, coaches, referees, and league staff, all of whom can influence the outcome of a game, and all of whom are potentially susceptible to bribes. A notable case of this happening is the "Black Sox" scandal, where the 1919 Chicago White Sox blatantly threw the World Series in exchange for bribes from a gambling syndicate. The more prolific sports betting is, the more likely events like this are.
> its lack would not constitute production breakage

Of course it's production breakage. You can't redefine it to not be "production" breakage just because you make a distinction between essential and non-essential features to pull the trigger on the migration. If the migration only supports 75% of the previous features, then 25% of the previous features are broken in production after the migration. If you're ok with that, then ok, but let's not pretend there's no production breakage. The RSS feeds were in production, and then they broke. That's production breakage. What else would you call it?

> As for the rest, I was just explaining the general idea of a production freeze.

I don't need that explained.

> Anyway, none of this is relevant unless lack of RSS support is considered a production breakage, which is the very point of disagreement here.

I think you're the only one who doesn't think RSS support isn't production breakage. Otherwise, Google wouldn't be "actively working on a solution."
> Apple allows for a single messaging app

Do you mean that Apple doesn't allow third-party SMS apps? Because there are lots of messaging apps on iOS.
Amazing.

The fact that we can synthesize stuff like this from text makes me believe the real world obeys some laws of physics we still haven't figured out.

Specifically, the fact that when we interpolate in embedding space, the interpolated point still represents something almost always physically plausible

I have no doubt marketing played a role, but Chrome and Chromium-based browsers were the only ones with a multi-process architecture for over half a decade after Chrome's launch. That meant a bad web page couldn't crash the browser or block the UI, which used to happen frequently on other browsers.

Firefox eventually caught up, but had lost much of its userbase and mindshare by that point.
Virginia was a destination because the FedGov was spending boucoup money since the Reagan Era, and VA has a ton of Gov and Military presence.

> Globally, do any of the other top ten (Apple is nowhere near the top ten) messaging apps allow third parties to spoof their service?

The top messaging services are SMS and email. Do these allow different companies to interoperate with each other? Yes, of course.

And so should all messaging apps, regardless of how many other messaging apps there are, because they all have a network effect. They're segmented into their own markets by the act of restricting interoperability.

There is no carrier with a monopoly on SMS but Apple is trying to maintain a monopoly on iMessage. Why should that be allowed for anyone? Restricting interoperability -- i.e. competition -- is not a legitimate business practice.
What most IT people think of as “real work” is being able to concentrate on a problem and work towards solving it. This is a creative type of work, and requires a quiet mind that can focus. When you’re in fire-fighting mode, the fight/flight/freeze survival hormones are active, which suppresses creativity (it’s not smart to be thinking about your next cave painting when there’s a lion stalking you).

Being in one or the other mode is normal, and not related to ADHD.

The metric of “hostnames contacted” isn’t a valuable pressure point: each browser can simply replace all hostnames with one, at which point they’ll look better than their competitors without having made any material changes whatsoever in behavior.

The correct metric here is “number of requests initiated”, but that’s harder to collect than copy-pasting logs from LittleSnitch and gesturing theatrically at them as this post is doing.
Zero-day options.

Sports betting is not zero harm, but the rate of harm is significantly lower than the kinds of betting that are legal in parts of the US.

The US is one of the weirdest markets globally in that it legalized all the high-harm activities (because of massive political corruption) and banned all the low-harm stuff. Now they are normalizing, you have the hysterical people who don't really understand why it was banned initially saying that Eden has fallen.
Seiko 5s have clear back covers generally, and a water intrusion should be pretty visble, in my opinion.

Oil age maybe a factor, but maybe it’s dropped? I had a Swatch with an ETA movement (with shock absorption nonetheless), and I somehow managed to damage its balance wheel assembly by dropping to a soft carpet from ~80cm, because it started stopping when it was not in dial up position. They even opened it and recalibrated and oiled it, but it’s dead.
How is Apple Messages not the #1 most popular messaging application on the iPhone? I know many people that use an iPhone and they all use Apple Messages. I know because I have an Android phone and this is the only way to communicate with them.

It is very much possible that the current kerfuffle has some bearing on future regulation.

That said, iMessage is not really big in Europe, Whatsapp is, so it's more interesting for the EU to regulate that.
All the stuff trying to use WebAssembly outside the browser, without looking into all bytecode formats that have trailled the same path for decades since early 1960's is getting tiresome.

I'm not sure you can derive any useful conclusions from this post.
Various browsers invoke various numbers of connections to remote peers upon initial startup.

There is no technical reason that a browser (or any software) couldn't open a single connection, and funnel every piece of data it can extract from your machine to a remote host. That remote host could then distribute that data to any number of other hosts/services without your awareness.

For the purposes of privacy, all connections numbering more than 0 are functionally identical. At a minimum it might be helpful to include some information on the amount of data transmitted over these connections.

No you didn't.

The whole point of using Azure OpenAI over plain OpenAI is the fact that your data doesn't get donated to OpenAI for training (this solves "compliance" for enterprise customers that need it), which you're not solving (because you obviously can't run the OpenAI models in your own data center).
But this also means if another AI winter were to come, Nvidia will be hit on two fronts.
> 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?

You might not. It is clear that the majority of iphone users don't care that android users keep complaining about green vs blue bubbles.

> Where is the data proclaiming this?

Use the mobile app usage data repository that your company provides or wtv data subscription (Bloomberg, data.ai, etc) that your company provides. After looking at aggregate, segment by iOS vs android. Hell, if you work in the mobile app space, you already know just how difficult it is to get iOS users to shift away from the apple default.

> I don’t know where you’re getting these ideas from.

like i said, techie vs normie divide. Funny you keep mentioning anecdotes when we can clearly look at the market forces. Apple isn't being pressured to change anything because their users just find it easier for others to switch to iPhone.

As others have remarked, my perspective is US-centric.

> I’ve never personally met somebody that cares what brand of phone you have.

This is incorrect, or you don't meet many people. They exist.
When sports betting was illegal, the US was already the largest sports-betting market in the world.

That is not true. iMessage content is encrypted in iCloud with keys stored in your keychain only accessible to your devices.

Arguably no one’s goal is to glue pieces of C together. That’s too abstract. Their goal is to do something like write a performant web server, maybe easily and quickly. Python’s approach is one way to do that, but there are other ways that might be better. Having to write code in two languages to solve a problem, one of which that is difficult to write and has lots of footguns, has some clear downsides.

He didn't say programming is about numbers.

His claim was that programming is a simple kind of thinking. He gives two representative examples:

* The consideration of sorting algorithms (which in all fairness _is_ a staple in teaching algorithms), and

* The use of simple logic - such is representative of programming language specs.

I'd say that this is a fair summary - real life tends to be a lot more complicated that the problems faced by most programmers.

Even more brutally: he is aiming quite high, a lot of programming is the minor stitching together of APIs without making too big of a mess.

Few programmers ever seriously actually need to analyse thousands of dimensions of information - and I'd say that it is a safe bet that the ones who do are probably using numbers.

As a counterpoint, I know plenty of people who willingly spend more than $500 on entertainment over a few months.

I think the comparison to alcohol is an apt one: we've seen from previous ban attempts that rather than deter people from an activity the ban risks driving people to the black market, empowering those willing to operate illegally, removing the capacity for regulation or legal recourse (exposing partakers to grievous downside risks from product perspectives, such as contaminated liquor and loan sharks) and, ultimately, requiring more intrusion of law enforcement processes on the lives of every-day people.
