Yes. Although I'm not going to quote my exact wording. Feel free to scroll up and/or familiarize yourself with the game if you're having trouble understanding.
Oh god... I can only imagine how political this would actually be. I suppose it would be the equivalent of a coding boot camp but you're forced to watch PragerU and Joe Rogan for non-STEM classes, and pay for everything using MuskBucks.
I don't know how baked on you're talking here, but we somewhat routinely end up with oily residue that's still in the sticky to moderately hard state.

Baking soda and peroxide cleans that shit off like magic. You should Google the exact procedure and proportions.

Edited to add: a single edge razor scraper is worth a try on stainless. The razor blade is roughly as hard as the substrate, so you won't gouge it too bad. Get the plastic Allway holders. The metal ones are garbage and, incredibly, the generic plastic ones are pretty inferior.
I think the problem is that you do understand and have explained it perfectly, but some people can’t handle the truth. These threads have brought out some ludicrous opinions (as anything Apple centric tends to on HN).
A scientific paper can be fraudulent without the author knowing that its conclusion is false if it has falsified data or otherwise is known to the author to misrepresent the extent to which the conclusion is supported.
That’s a ridiculous reason to demand an open protocol from Apple. I get that it sucks when you’re in high school and kids are massive jerks about social standing, but this can’t be a serious use case post college, right?

Anecdotes about mean girls on Tinder dumping Android users don’t really seem compelling, either.
Because in the days of telex the message mattered, not the style.
> The reason they’re not doing that is because it could have unintended consequences as some are using someone else’s actual device serial number and those people would be inconvenienced.

As far as I know, it's not actually known what model numbers, serial numbers, and disk UUIDs Beeper Mini is sending (and no the POC repository doesn't really tell us)-- if you have a source that talks about this I'd love to read it!
*Only to grammar nazis.
Apple owns the delivery mechanism. I don’t believe that a third party using their ecosystem will last long. Nor do I want it. There are plenty of cross-platform things out there. Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp. Why does everyone care so much? Google can paint their Android robot blue. Then maybe all this silliness will end?
That just using Kustomize. There’s a difference between learning curve and frustration post learning curve. Kustomize isn’t that bad, Helm comes with far more headaches, especially if you need to do any kind of inheritance.

Keep your customizations flat and compile them to yaml+grep to find out what’s getting overridden and where.
Why's that?

I only see js/ts on a huge incline mostly because of backend, and making it easier to hire full stack devs (desirable in slow economies)

Neural General Circulation Models
Assuming you're talking about the overall sharp drop-off and not the bounce-backs, this was my favorite way to explain it to students:

We live near the ocean, and we have a rocky shoreline. We have a couple coves nearby. One cove is about the a half-mile across, but the opening to the larger bay nearby is just a couple hundred feet. On most days, the cove is really calm and the bay has roughly two foot waves.

So, you can go out to the cove, pick up the biggest rock you can lift, and heave it into the water. You'll make a giant splash that amazes young kids, and then you can watch the ripples fan out over the bay. But you also see those ripples stop as soon as they reach the bay, where the larger waves absorb the smaller ripples from the rock. The rock represents the sun, the ripples represent solar wind, and the waves on the bay represents interstellar space.

I believe that's a reasonable way of explaining it; if I was wrong after all this time I'd love to know it.
The trajectory was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity based on the dynamics of our solar system, and surely the relevant experts will take advantage of the next similar opportunities. It's also almost a miracle that the probes have lasted this long. They used analogue electronics and if they launched ten years later, they would have more modern electronics and would probably have failed by now. And it's not possible to simply argue to use older designs to last longer in a new mission, because you would give up multiple orders of magnitude of data collection.

It's not a simple matter of any current launcher being cheaper so we should launch a bunch more.
I'm not so sure about that. Humanity is turning ever more inward and education is getting worse and worse with the peak somewhere in the 1950's. If we have a bright future in space travel none of the countries with launch capability today look like they will be the ones driving it.
How many people really care about encrypted text messages? Most of the time, I’m sending my girlfriend pictures of our dogs. If I cared about encryption, we’d download something else (or use gchat or whatever). This just doesn’t seem like it should be that big a deal.
It's true. Nothing says middle class more than toting around the shiny silver status symbol.
yes this makes sense because ruby is a message passing language. even accessors are messages. only self can receive private messages.

and the sharing a private instance variable between separate instances example is exactly what protected does, which ruby also has.
We do a similar thing but call it a bug hunt.

Not only do we uncover bugs, it’s a great way to get the whole company learning about the new things coming and for the product team to get unfiltered feed back.
I imagine if you're going to grow one 300 year old tree, then your best bet is obscurity. Find a stable very-rural area that's not prone to bushfires, plant one tree and make sure it's doing well for a few years, come back 300 years later, you're done.

If you're not going the obscurity path then you'd really want to scale it up - there's not much difference between security for one tree and security for 100 trees.

> That goes way beyond glueing little bits of plagiarized training data together

Moreover, LLMs almost ALWAYS extrapolate, and never interpolate. They don't regurgitate training data. Doing so is virtually impossible.

An LLM's input (AND feature) space is enormous. Hundreds or thousands of dimensions. 3D space isn't like 50D or 5,000D space. The space is so combinatorially vast that basically no two points are neighbors. You cannot take your input and "pick something nearby" to a past training example. There IS NO nearby. No convex hull to walk around in. This "curse of dimensionality" wrecks arguments that these models only produce "in distribution" responses. They overwhelmingly can't! (Check out the literature of LeCun et al. for more rigor re. LLM extrapolation.)

LLMs are creative. They work. They push into new areas daily. This reality won't change regardless of how weirdly, desperately the "stochastic parrot" people wish it were otherwise. At this point they're just denialists pushing goalposts around. Don't let 'em get to you!

The "God" justification for all-upper-case is one I've heard attributed to Ken Olsen, CEO of Digital Equipment Corporation, though I can't seem to find a reference at present.

Analysis of the "tidal waves" sweeping over the VC landscape. The post examines how some of the macro trends + rapid advancements in AI are reshaping the venture & startup ecosystem, which include:

- The impact of increasing fund sizes on returns (and why a $500M fund might need to generate $17.5B in exit value to 3X).
- Novel strategies in which data science and AI can be applied in the VC investment process.
- How VC, traditionally a “cottage industry”, is becoming more high-frequency

As well as some predictions on where the industry might be headed:

- How Solo GPs and smaller/nimbler firms could harness AI to rival much larger investment platforms.
- The transformation of VC into a more traditional asset class (but with a twist!)
- The potential re-emergence of ‘calm funds’ in a world of capital-efficient, AI-native startups
- The changing role of CVCs and cloud hyperscalers in startup investing, and why massive funding rounds in foundation model startups probably won’t continue

Would love thoughts & feedback from the community!
There are more threat vectors than man-in-the-middle attacks. Beeper Mini does not make the iMessage protocol any less safe. It's end-to-end encrypted. Great. No problem there.

The problem is: the client application itself is a big unknown. Beeper says it's secure, and it very well could be. But we have no idea. But if it receives, decrypts, then sends sensitive information, as diagnostics, back to a a central server unencrypted, for example, that's obviously a huge problem.
In this context it means moderators or people behaving like authority. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=the%20Browns...
I'm missing something from the initial calculation which is that the solar escape velocity from the current position of Voyager 1 is about 3km/s, so Voyager's velocity at escape would be 14km/s, not 17, which is very close to the 13km/s of plumbob without any earth assist. So basically anything in the direction of orbit beats voyager, and anything the other way loses.

Looking down on the north pole, the earth rotates and orbits counter clockwise. This means that anything from midnight to noon will be aligned with the orbital vector and anything noon to midnight will be offset. 930PM will be about halfway between sunset and midnight, so losing 11 km/s from orbital velocity sounds about right.
Not every human body is really capable of any of "metabolism, growth, self repair"

One of my first projects was to interface with an IMS system using Python of all things, there was only one guy that really knew the system and I had to sit with them for hours to even begin wrapping my head around how a hierarchical DBMS worked, how space is managed, etc. I remember the first comment he made was that the database was created for use as an inventory system for the Apollo missions. The DB I had to work with was created in the 80's. This project was in 2021, so it's still out there, supporting critical infrastructure.
Yes, if they offer a "news only subscription" at a reasonable price I would buy it.

This is interesting. How do you define "invalid" and why can Apple not also detect such invalidity?

There's been some talk that blocking this for Beeper will also block this for Hackintosh, but are we just talking about iMessage?

Because I have a hard time believing that (A) Apple can't just block this for iMessage without affecting whatever other system services rely on it and (B) That Apple would care if Hackintoshes lose iMessage.

If those two are true, and assuming Beeper Mini also tries to find plausible but invalid serials to use, then Hackintoshes definitely aren't the reason they aren't blocking based on this.

As a long time user of intels scientific compiler/accelerator stack, I'm not sure if I'd call it a "good track record". Once you get all their libs working they tend to be fairly well optimized but they're always a huge hassle to install, configure, and distribute. And when I say a hassle to install, I'm talking about hours to run their installers.

They have a track record of taking open projects, adding proprietary extensions, and then requiring those extensions to work with other tools. This sounds fine, but they are very slow/never update the base libs. From version to version they'll muck with deep dependencies, sometimes they'll even ship different rules on different platforms (I dare you to try to static link openmp in a recent version of oneapi targeting windows). If you ship a few tools (let's say A and B) that use the same dynamic lib, it's a royal pain to make sure they don't conflict with each other if you update software A but not B. Ranting about consumer junk aside, their cluster focused tooling on Linux tends to be quite good, especially compared to amd.
I think as long as what is meant to be conveyed is clear and concise, it's served its purpose.

I would love to see the metrics since the rebrand. It sure seems like the renaming itself was a fatal blow, since talking about Twitter is now awkward we’re less likely to talk about it.

It’s hard to imagine he’d really light so much money on fire, but I have to wonder if Elon is killing Twitter on purpose and just has to not be too obvious about it since he got a bunch of other people to help foot the bill. I think Twitter mobs have been quite bad for the media and society, so I’m not sad to see them disappear.

Microsoft’s new terminal application rendered text extremely slowly, like 10 minutes to cat 1gb of text slow.

Casey submitted a bug saying that it’s slow and should be much much faster.

Microsoft responded something like “text is hard … … phd dissertation on rendering text”

Casey made a terminal renderer with more features than Microsoft’s renderer in a weekend, it performed orders of magnitude faster, had zero optimization work performed and he jokingly (and hilariously) titled the video “a phd dissertation”.

Next, the excuse parade rolled in and came up with all manner of excuses as to why Muratoris renderer was so much faster, so he made a follow up video addressing the excuse parade, as well as containing some very minor optimization.

Also note that Casey’s implementation isn’t even as fast as things could be. His optimizations are minor.

Initial setup depends on a car a lot. On my previous car it was connecting through USB, initial setup was complicated but afterwards it mostly worked. On my current car connection is wireless and set up was pretty easy. It takes some time to connect to my car once I turn it on but most of it is loading of infotainment system.
As far as apps - depends on what you need. For me maps, music and calls are enough, but if you want something very specific - it's probably not going to work.
Are you talking about the 1985 Genetic Programming paper by Cramer? Unlike Hinton and Bengio, Schmidhuber has corrected himself:

> BTW, I committed a similar error in 1987 when I published what I thought was the first paper on Genetic Programming (GP), that is, on automatically evolving computer programs[GP1][GP] (authors in alphabetic order). At least our 1987 paper[GP1] seems to be the first on GP for codes with loops and codes of variable size, and the first on GP implemented in a Logic Programming language. Only later I found out that Nichael Cramer had published GP already in 1985[GP0] (and that Stephen F. Smith had proposed a related approach as part of a larger system[GPA] in 1980). Since then I have been trying to do the right thing and correctly attribute credit.

You don't see spam, if it was filtered upstream from you.

Yes but if you want to be multi-cloud and not have to integrate with each cloud's secret storage API, you would do it once for Vault and bring it with you to each cloud.
> Gelsinger is saying "the entire industry" and that seems likely to be a simple fact. Every single player, other than Nvidia, has an incentive to minimise the importance of CUDA as a proprietary technology. That is a lot more programmers than Nvidia can afford to employ.

I mean, this statement is technically true, but it's true for any proprietary technology. If things work like this then we won't have any industry where proprietary techs/formats are prevalent.

We?

Evidently you've drunk the Kool-Aid of the ... worthies who push the "independent state legislature" doctrine.

Oh, and: You don't regard Trump's sending a mob to the Capitol (he knew they were armed, the Secret Service had told him), telling them they had to "fight like hell," egging them on via Twitter, and then waiting hours to half-heartedly call them off, doesn't count as trying to sabotage the Electoral College vote count?
That's painful. But I totally believe it.
Exactly. And prior to Ruby 2.7, even calling a private method with an explicit `self` as the receiver was not allowed, only the implicit `self` from "within" the class body ("within" in quotes because, as the blog post points out, Ruby's concept of being inside a class body is unlike many other languages).

But the point of a subsidy is to create a business where one did not, possibly could not exist before. Therefore the tax revenue coming from companies created by subsidies is in addition to other businesses tax revenue, not replacing it.

3. How to completely delete all files from Dropbox and permanently rescind their ability to access my data in the future.

Good Luck with number 3!

This is akin to posting your bank details on a local wall. You can put it out there, but there's no certainty that you can ever withdraw it. Your best hope is that Dropbox is running low on storage and needs to reuse some disk space that has your data on it. That may happen sooner rather than later but don't hold your breath waiting for it to happen.

Maintain your own backup storage yourself. That's the only way to keep control of your own data.

By the way, who's doing the encrypting? You or the Dropbox alternative? If it's not you doing the encrypting, you may as well leave your files unencrypted. "If more than one person knows a secret, it's not a secret!".
This is something the FCC definitely has power to do and if you think this is overstepping then they certainly would not be able to do anything about anti-competitive behavior in your idealized version of them.
Yes. But many Sr. Leaders just see a number so it must also be a metric you can use for measurement. They do not understand it’s real use.

I picture a construction company counting the total inches / centimeters each employee measured every day. Then at the end of the year firing the bottom 20% of employees measured in total units measured in the last 12 months.
This assumes that all Beeper Mini users are spam, and that's a weird take.

More charitably, perhaps you are saying spam will increase over previous levels. From what I understand, Apple does not have any spam prevention technologies in Messages at all, neither for incoming iMessages, nor for SMS messages-- so the only thing keeping your iMessage conversations free of them is the obscurity of the protocol. Perhaps they should just add anti-spam tech like other texting clients have had for years.
I guess I don’t see the “clear and present danger”. It just isn’t obvious to me.

Can you elaborate on the specific things Trump did that have shaped your opinion to think he is a “dictator wannabe”?

Nobody at Microsoft pays attention to these. I'm sure of it. It's the only way to explain why, upon clicking the [x] of a notification, it remains in the notification widget. Surely they - like all the rest of us - are just letting that number above the button tick up and up until the next restart.

If they're going to shoehorn phone features into their desktop OS, do it properly! Once they've fixed this, they can get started on fixing Modern Standby.
Or you could just re-use the same number; no one can prove it is not random.
