Jeffery Epstein was good at hiding his actions. Bush was never convicted of being a war criminal, and he was despite being a war monger, newer using false information and outright lies the way Alex Jones is (I know what he and his administration did with regards to Saddam and Iraq, and the war on terror was almost as bad an idea as was Russias invasion of Ukraine).

But yes, I do consider hanging out with Epstein and Bush in my evaluation of people as well.

Jones, hell, from a certain point I get it, this guy brings traffic. Tate is just bottom of the barrel scum so, and it ia pretty pathetic for the formerly richest man of the world to promote the manosphere, that is more a thing for third rate, butt hurt youtubers who cannot cope with women having a mind of their own.
None of these issues exist on my Mazda car. Screen is tactile at stops, but I only ever use the rotational+directional knob. Phone stays plugged and untouched. It's snappy.

I bet some other cars have poor HID but here they put the work in and it is good.
It's a perfectly fine comparison to make until it is proven that AI has no potential to continuously improve upon itself.

It's quite common to use scripts to generate code.

My experience is that this is best kept as standalone scripts executed only when needed with the resulting generated code committed to source control (scripts are also of course under source control).

Code generated on the fly during the build process and never committed to source control is a pain, IMHO.

> It is just a true fact of the world that if Israel were to let down its guard even a little, many Israelis would be killed.

It is a true fact of life that many Israelis are killed, as a direct result of the Israeli government's long-term policy of actively assuring that the most violent and extreme Palestinian faction possible is reinforced and strengthened at every turn (starting with its original creation) to maintain internal Palestinian divisions and provide a pretext to deflect domestic and international pressure to make peace.
There's a few apps where I'd like to remove tab buttons as a user; but as a developer, nobody has ever asked me to implement the feature; and based on my parents regularly accidentally removing things from the MacOS dock instead of opening them and needing my help to get it back, I suspect the ability causes a lot of customer support issues.

Not necessarily, maybe as a general rule

If the ads are high effort enough, people will actively seek them out, just the effort won't scale

> Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo sometimes lose money on hardware sales.

Nintendo has never sold a console at a loss, Sony hasn't done it since the PS3 in 2006 and Microsoft since the 360. So it's not the norm since more than a decade.
I like the idea! Sad I almost left macOS (to Linux), so I would love to see something similar for Linux. Maybe you researched this before and know some similar alternatives? Could be anything, even a terminal app.
The most interesting thing to me in this case is Epic refusing Google's $150 million 'offer', and instead relying on the courts. Epic could have accepted that offer with zero risk, and been all the better off for it, with zero risk. Of course everybody else would be left behind. But by going all the way, and refusing the pay off, they instead make a better world for everybody.
I have to assume they meant 79% of US consumers who use iPhone, since only about 60% of the US uses iPhone, and Carplay specifically is useless to the remaining 40%.

Or perhaps they were grouping in AA under the covers.

I created an app for tracking buses in Wellington NZ - I use it every day and I love it. I always meant to publicise it widely, but to be honest it works perfectly for me and I can't be bothered dealing with issues specific to other people.
I wonder if it isn't 100x more effective for the baby that they don't learn from language per se, they learn from direct feedback.

They try to duplicate/imitate others, but generally they get immediate feedback (to the point where it's becomes annoying) about exactly what they're doing/alternatives/...

I've always found that this works, but adults often don't like it. Learning from direct feedback, having someone immediately check your work, so to speak, helps enormously. Even if it's in text (I learned C++ on IRC and mailing lists, for example). The books help, but you never have any direction.

OK, yeah I remember seeing that - not seeing the film but seeing it existed. On the other hand that is understood as a property that originally was not Disney.

I think as well Disney protection of its characters might be a more ingrained than just normal copyright protectionism - Walt was notoriously a bastard to anyone who messed around with not treating Mickey with the respect he deserved.
Swipe up from the bottom middle edge of the screen to bring that up on ios? Or do you mean something else?
The ground crew that check people's papers during boarding are not the same crew who are on the flight. Copenhagen Airport has a separate area for non-Schengen flights. He may "simply" have arrived from a non-Schengen origin and then avoided leaving through passport control and gone on a different flight, somehow.

This is a reasonable, balanced view. And then you remember apple banning 3rd party reddit clients for not preventing access to yuck, while apple books and itunes and music is constantly promoting soft-yuck covers at you no problem.
I don't know about cup holders - but it's been definitely shown, that replacing actual physical knobs and buttons with a touch-screen does hurt safety.

The thing with media controls is, that you can use those only when it's safe to do so. You're not gonna change the radio channel or music-playlist while going through a busy intersection. But many of the functions car manufacturers are moving from actual buttons to their touch-screens, aren't that time flexible.

I really hope it plays out like this. What really pisses me off so, Hamas leadership is sitting savely in the Emirates. And the religious right in Israel, the ones promoting the settlement policies for example (their rethoric isn't something I'll repeat or even cite) is excempt from serving in the military to an extent.

> a pen or a notebook company giving themselves editorial power over what people write in those notebook

Don't forget about the most important part: putting what you wrote in front of millions of peoples' eyeballs. No pen/notebook company does that. And if they did, you're not entitled to the vast amount of labor that entails.
It's a big problem, indeed. Prior to October 7, a large majority of Gazans supported having the PA take over control in Gaza. It's worth considering to what extent waning support and credibility with their own population was a motivation for Gaza in the attacks, given being seen to do something and goading Israel into making themselves be seen by the Gazan population as an obvious villain plays straight into Hamas' hands.

The biggest blow Israel could deal to Hamas would probably be to do the minimum to contain them, provide the PA with access and means, and let the PA deal with it with guarantees of meaningful concessions if/when the PA succeeds in meeting certain targets (that ought to carefully not mention Hamas, but mention things like demonstrating a functioning justice system and ability to secure the borders). To your point of a "neutral" foreign coalition, if granted access by Israel, the PA would potentially be in a position where it could ask for international assistance and try to frame it as allies coming to the aid of the population rather than an attack on Palestine.

But that would also first take an Israeli government that is serious about peace and negotiating concessions, and frankly the current Israeli government seems as caught up in seeing the continuation of the conflict as essential to their own power as Hamas.

In the meantime there's a real danger this will stoke up more radicalism not just in Gaza but in the West Bank as well.
I am not the mainstream user, but a solution like that would have to come from someone other that Google, because it is 100% safe to assume, that Google would be mining my choices of what I want to read or would try to profile me or would put mandatory recaptcha on the pages or similar.

The convention is that it's in the top left and that the "swipe rightward from the left edge of the screen" gesture also goes back. Most apps work like this, and it's not actually a problem in my experience. I can't actually remember seeing an app which puts the back button in the bottom right...

With apps which follow the convention, I don't miss a hardware back button (or, as is more common in Android these days, a software back button in an OS-provided bar at the bottom of the screen). Swiping from the left edge of the screen feels pretty good. But Android's approach is probably better at providing a decent UX with terrible apps.

Good luck fighting off something smarter than you. Has worked out great for the leopards.

True. But it’s hard to say to what extent. Many/most people probably have multiple apps installed and use them somewhat regularly in addition to texting/iMessages.
That's debatable.

The hardest thing about learning a new concept/idea is to get started. GPT lowers the barrier of entry, and you can use the knowledge you got to tackle other learning tools and fix the parts GPT got wrong.
Tl;dr: Apple can remove the X app from its app store (as it can always do to any app). That's what the article's author, Dave Lee, and, presumably, disclaimer notwithstanding, its publisher, Bloomberg, seem to want to happen at least.

Ask HN: Can AI revolutionize poker without compromising the essence of the game?
Hello community,

I'm working on a project at the intersection of AI and online poker, exploring its potential and implications for the game's future. I'm keen to hear your thoughts on a few points:

* Impact on Game Integrity: With AI's growing influence, how do we ensure the integrity of online poker? Are there lessons from other strategy games like chess?
* AI and the Human Element: Can AI enhance the game without diluting the human elements such as psychology?
* Financial and Legal Ramifications: Considering the complexities around online poker and money, what implications could AI integration have?
I take it Samsung doesn't typically announce their products' support times, given that most of them just have a "Yes" instead of a date?

Action which I find much more useful than Back is Up. I’m always annoyed when someone hands me their Android to do something and I need to go through 10 screens hitting Back instead of Up. I almost never want Back. I want Up. This is also reflected in my use of Finder on Mac e.g. where I often hit Cmd+Up, but never Cmd+Left.

Apple's always taken the "if you want to play in our court, you play by our rules" approach to this kind of thing so wouldn't be at all surprised if there are zero back door deals going on there. They don't need to do that as no major app provider is going to want to be the one who's not on their app store.

If Spotify for example left iOS devices all it would do is drive up Apple Music subscriptions. Very, very few people would switch operating systems for a single app.

The average joe doesn't even think about app availability when picking a phone.

At most I'd say theres likely some grey area about managing 3rd party subscriptions that arent being done via the app store.
Welp that's horrible, I'll have nightmares about this.
Or perhaps when you create something exceptionally good you end up coming up with this response to the no doubt often repeated question of why you haven't been able to top it, or reading about someone else with the same problem and thinking "hey, that's good - think I'll use it"
Solid arguments. Interesting how they are going to deal with folks in different availability zones and geographies.
Do you still need to send this information per snail mail? If not, just connect the AI to SMTP and let them E-Mail each other :)

I like that show, but no, it is not warm show about caring. It is fun show about mutual abuse. Like I said, fun and all, but in kinda cruel way.

I've written a podcast ad blocker. I'm not based in the US but listen to a few podcasts from large US-based networks. They don't have any ad inventory to sell so instead they fill the slots with ads for other shows on their network and I end up hearing 7 copies of the same ad for the same true crime sludge in each podcast episode.

It works by fetching the XML feed, downloading the file and applying an open-source audio fingerprinting library to identify timestamps of the same segment repeated multiple times, using ffmpeg to delete all instances of repeated segments, and republishing a new XML feed that I then consume with a standard podcast app. It works surprisingly well.
Yeah moving a control function in the UI of a car system through an OTA update should be not be allowed imo.

And we are not even talking about "safety critical" things like the hazards switch or parking brake or whatever. If I want to adjust the airflow to my feet by a little bit, I want to do that regardless if I'm driving or standing still. If I need to navigate a menu to do that, then I'll do that, whether I'm moving or standing still. Nobody has the patience to learn the UI up front, or pull over to navigate through a menu safely.

This dead horse has been thoroughly beaten, but please: give us physical controls! Say no to touch screens!
Cog is great. I use it all the time in my personal projects. It really shines in C++.

Some uses I've found for it:

* Generate long literal lists, with less tedium and fewer bugs:

snprintf(buf, sizeof buf,
"%f %f %f %f\n"
"%f %f %f %f\n"
"%f %f %f %f\n"
"%f %f %f %f\n"
"%f %f %f %f\n",
/* [[[cog
for i in range(20):
cog.outl(f"matrix[{i}]" + (',' if i != 19 else ''))
]]] */
matrix[0],
matrix[1],
(...)

* Automatically instantiate classes from a set of files:

/* [[[cog
for path in glob('src/editor/Panel*.cc'):
name = stem(path)
instance = name[0].lower() + name[1:]
outl(f'{name} {instance};')
]]] */
PanelInspector inspector;
PanelGame game;
PanelTextures textures;
PanelModules modules;
PanelProject project;
PanelInput input;
PanelPerformance performance;
// [[[end]]]

* Given a list of Python strings, generate a C++ enum, and functions to convert it to and from a string.

* Parse a C++ source file for struct definitions, and generate code to debug-dump them, inspect them in a GUI, save/load them... alright, Clang might be a better tool for this, but Cog will do in a pinch.

All this is stuff that a more expressive language could do without external tools, but even in such a language, you won't usually see what a macro is being expanded to without some sort of tooling. Cog puts it right there in the file for you, which I often appreciate.
So we get less random censorship, and the downside is that the most toxic place on the Internet might go dark.

I can't vote in the United States. Does that make the United States and apartheid regime? Of course not, I'm not a US citizen.

The Palestinians who stayed in Israel became Israeli citizens, and have all the same rights as other Israelis. The Palestinians who fled Israel (by choice or force), did not become citizens. They were refugees for 20 years before Israel had control over them (and in that time were not granted citizenship in any other neighboring country, nor were they given the option to create their own state by the then-occupiers of that land).

The situation in the West Bank is indeed complicated, but the agreed-upon-by-all-sides solution is that it will eventually become a separate state (the two state solution). So it doesn't make much sense to wonder why they don't get voting rights in Israel - they are not citizens, and the agreed-upon path is for them to have their own state, not become citizens.

In Gaza the situation is much simpler - Israel doesn't occupy it anymore (or didn't before October 7th, no idea what will happen now).

You throw in the word blockade as if that's the same thing as Israeli control over Gaza, but it's not. The blockade was a legitimate response to Hamas carrying out attacks on Israel. Sovereign nations likewise sanction and/or blockade other countries for these kinds of attacks.

Does the US have control over Iran because of the sanctions it imposes? Is Iran not free?
