Yes I did. You'll notice Apple doesn't have any IaaS offerings on their product pages. So they're in no way a public cloud and I wouldn't expect to use any of their services as if they were.
I think alignment in this context refers to distribution alignment: “aligning” it so its outputs more efficiently steer the target model with less tokens
I saw a YouTube video that said rent in Tokyo is 1/3 of NYC. This means you might be able to work a little and follow your passions -- maybe its calligraphy -- and then the city might end up with weird little calligraphy shop. It's the opposite logic of gentrification, where gentrification pushes all the indie shops out and you only end up with a Chipotle and Cowboy Jacks.

That would be your assumption due to your own political bias.

That reflects on you, not me.

This is true, but htmx is targeting developer experience and simplicity, not solving <noscript> user case. For this perspective "interactive websites without any JS" is accurate.
Native speaker narrators are often hired to read exactly what is written in a script written by non-native speakers and read it they do.

If you're willing to share, I'd love to hear the Cash App story. Seems like a slap in the face for them to terminate your account for trying to resolve an issue with their service.
> The decision by Adobe and Figma to spike their $20 billion merger on Monday dented the imminent dream of startup riches for Figma investors and employees. But Figma’s business is still growing quicker than that of most mature startups, potentially putting it in position for an initial public offering in 2025 or later. And the billion-dollar breakup fee from Adobe will strengthen Figma’s already robust balance sheet.

> The design software firm expects to finish this year with over $600 million in annual recurring revenue, an increase of more than 40% over the past year, people familiar with the matter said. The San Francisco–based company has also been generating cash for a few years, the people said. That financial picture likely makes it one of the best-performing late-stage private tech companies, particularly in a year when many firms have struggled with sagging growth rates as corporate clients have cut their software spending.

> Buy a laptop whose hardware is actually open.

Nice idea in theory, not really applicable in the real world. Not on the technical side because it doesn't exist (you have no access go the Intel Boot ROM on the CPU, and not to modern AGESA to start with something fundamental, but also no access to AMD or NV GPU specs, they are about as closed as they can get). On the market and people side, there just isn't enough of a market for it. The closest you might get is Framework where you get modules (but no open firmwares and things like information for all registers on all chips).

Most people don't buy a 'collection of components' to then 'install firmware, a bootloader, an operating system and applications'. That market doesn't exist.

Instead, they have some sort of preconceived notion about an appliance they want, and they really aren't interested in the technical details. It just needs to work, preferable as soon as you take it out of the box without having to do special things to it.

People might be persuaded to care about ecological impact, or long-term cost, or maybe even ROI when buying a more expensive device vs. a cheaper device (if applicable). But technical details will never win, it never has. Not with laptops, not with phones, not with video cassettes.
Seems similar to me. Lots of rounded rect products existed before iPhone. Like say, cassette tapes, vhs tapes, 8track tapes, bars of soap, cans of spam, license plates, sardine cans, etc...
Let's be honest, they're using them mostly for ahem personal time.

Thanks for that! I'm a big fan of D, as someone who primarily codes in C# and Python. I really wish a big company would take on D in a serious way that puts it on the map significantly. It is an underrated language in my opinion.
I’m sorry, but I honestly feel like this is the OPs fault entirely. It’s clear they had disabled account security on the laptop, in order for the other user who swapped laptops to add their account to that laptop. It’s not even that they didn’t enable “Find My” (which it does during initial setup, all you need to do is add an iCloud account)… he disable the password required setting to open the Mac. (Yes you can disable the requirements for logging in, but it’s definitely not the default setting) If you jump through such hoops in the first place to weaken your computer’s security, your can’t claim it’s not your fault when someone encrypts your computer on you.

I buy Mac’s specifically because for me this is a feature. I have backups. And if someone steals my laptop or I lose it, I’d much rather be out the money and the hardware and have it 100% bricked unusable and inaccessible, than have any possibility of my data getting accessed. (Not to mention making it worthless to the average petty thief).

Creating a work around, no matter how many N levels of authentication means there’s a hole for social engineering, and I’m definitely not a fan of that.

So it’s a trade off. If you don’t care about such level of security, then there are other laptop options, but please don’t ask Apple to start making their security weaker because there are those of us who want it this way.

And if you’re traveling with your laptop, put a password on it at least, and better yet encrypt it.
M&A has done far more good for society than damage to it. A lot of human achievements are only achievable with scale.

It makes zero sense to discourage a non-monopolistic M&A.

That was a design patent[1], which are different from normal patents. A design patent is a form of legal protection granted to the ornamental design of an article of manufacture. Design patents are a type of industrial design right.

Whether you think it is a valid design patent or not is a different question. There is no doubt that the outline of the iPhone was iconic, and Apple was trying to protect that, and Samsung was trying to ape it.

That's the full decommissioning process, not the process that would be required to avoid a meltdown.
Newspapers and reviewers published in them have exposure to their reputations.
Readers who get advance copies may have no reputation to care for or defend.
Book publishers could send a few one-time codes with each advance copy if they wanted attributable reviews instead of astro-turfed buzz. Knowing the various incentives, I won't hold my breath.
The first experimental support for LK99-type superconductivity
Evidence of superconductivity in LK99 materials, presented by a Chinese team, is presumably the first experimental support for LK99-type superconductivity. The paper lacks evidence of zero resistance, attributed to the presence of only a small amount of superconducting material, "the long-standing vortex state can only be thought of stemming from superconductivity."
However, numerous modifications made to their material make it difficult to still refer to it as LK99.
read it for yourself. here is the origional (PDF page 169):

point 2 is that the US will not attack Ukraine (conventional or Nuclear). IT says nothing about defending them from others.

Point 4 literally says the the US is obligated to seek UN security council action, verbatim.

>the Russian federation, UK, and us reaffirm their commitment to seek immediate UN security council action to provide assistance to Ukraine, as a non0nuclear weapon state party to the treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, if Ukraine should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a thread of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used

I dont know how we can have a reasonable conversation if we cant agree on what simple and clear sentences mean. the US has no obligations to defend them from conventional war, or ensure their safety.

To be clear, It is obvious that Russia is violating the treaty parts 1 and 2 by disrespecting the boarder, and using conventional force against Ukraine.
How is Apple abusing their market position?
I think Rust is actually pretty similar to Ruby is regards to expressiveness (given their own models)

It should be. Corporations are probably the biggest producers of ewaste there is.
These are both Masimo patents, right. Is there a link to Apple's patent too?
Honestly, these responses have been staggeringly depressing
when dual booting recently, i realized all the wifi security in windows is handled by the wifi driver!

only noticed that because one laptop lost wpa3 after a driver update so i went looking into what's packaged on those.

it's insane. expecting all wifi exploits to be covered and no bugs on crucial crypto done by the likes of driver authors on broadcom and such other companies... just crazy!
Last year someone who owned a bar gave me a whole box of iPhones, lots of very new ones that had been left behind and never collected. Out of about two dozen phones only one was recoverable (iPhone 7), all the others were ewaste.

It took until 2023 for somebody to publicly disclose the problem.

Because authors have not even the first clue about how copyright works. This is at least partially by design, because if they did, nobody would sign ownership away to a publisher. The reason why publishers want ownership is specifically because they get paid way more in the derivative works market than by selling copies of a book.

Derivatives are also the reason why the plaintiff lost. Fun fact: fan fiction is not copyrightable, so if you make a derivative work without permission you own nothing. Yes this means it's legal for the original author to just resell your fan work as their own, as the plaintiff alleges (even if it didn't actually happen here).
We are well into the reeds of what doesn’t matter, only in that fly has given us a very under the covers look at their implementation that is hard to find with other alternatives. But as someone who has run K8s in other contexts I find the following to be pretty circumspect (not in a way that causes me concern, I’m a happy gke user)

> GKE Autopilot manages the entire underlying infrastructure of clusters, including the control plane, nodes, and all system components. If you use GKE Standard mode, GKE manages the control plane and system components, and you manage the nodes.

There is a mile of implementation detail in that. Which I’m happy for them to keep on their side of the street.
Tests and data.
why would anyone in their right mind not set up "find my" ?
That's light-years ahead of "the vendor has remote access to my device all the time while I might or might not access it even having it in my hands, depending on how the vendor feels about it". Apple is in a league of its own with respect to selling you hardware and fundamentally retaining ownership of that hardware.
My understanding is that in an academic context you’ll hear alignment anytime a model is tuned to accomplish a certain task, not just to steer its political affiliation and idea of ethics

I don’t think this models use of alignment implies any sort of censorship, it’s just being tuned to accomplish the task of outputting only important tokens for the target llm

It's both a helper for using the phone with one hand and a "stand" of sorts to keep the phone stable when it's face up on a desk.

I do agree the protrusion is pretty ridiculous. I don't mind as much that mu current 15 Pro has a thicker one than my previous X. They're both more or less equally bad IMO.
This has happened with various anti-theft systems for a really long time, most of those cases not having a happy ending (some sort of class-action payout of a few pennies at best).

I wouldn't be surprised that there is no real 'have your cake and eat it too' version of this where you can make something secure (both integrity and confidentiality) while also not risking losing access or ownership yourself. At least not yet.

It has the same issue trying to make a 'regulatory backdoor' in a crypto system, it just weakens the system and as a result just means such backdoors get abused by everyone making the crypto system worthless.
Every business should be able to service their customers in human-to-human interactions. "We're too big to have humans speak to our human customers" is becoming normalised and that's a trend we need to reverse. Growing revenue streams without investing in the support those revenue streams need, is a bad business practice.
No. High-mileage drivers have a reason to prefer electric vehicles, since they're cheaper to operate per-mile than gasoline vehicles.
This is always my argument with "fangames", which frequently get nuked by the copyright/trademark owner. Like, you put years of effort into making a game from scratch, the code is all original, the design is new, why ruin all that by putting in Mega Man or whatever?

LOTR is great because it's a unique product of who Tolkien was, with his background in linguistics and experience in World War I and his Beowulf scholarship. Be your own interesting person and make your own stuff.
Isn't this really a new perspective on something that economists have been saying for years now? Specifically: the economy has been growing for high-skilled workers and dysfunctional for low-skilled workers. Alternatively, the economy has been unable to efficiently incorporate the efforts of less skilled men.

It's nice to have some data, but we still don't know what to do.
This is completely alien to me. I've had various personal projects over time. They are always managed in terms of goals and available resources and never deadlines. Deadlines can happen, but in general they are a terrible way to manage nearly any development. Better to consider goals and resources and work from there. My results have been pretty good and often open up new potential direction for continuation projects afterward.

There is a saying that works of art are never done, people just eventually quit working on them. Even that seems somewhat apart from "... finishing a personal project you’re doing just for yourself is impossible" which seems overly broad and very dark.
> You don't have the private keys to your own device

This here is the misunderstanding. It's simply not possible for you to own Apple's computers.
Saturn parts are notoriously difficult to source.
Reminds me of the time my dad bought a TRS-80 and the screw holes were filled with Glyptal to prevent end-user repair or modification. He drilled through the Glyptal, then contacted the literal president of Tandy to complain. Tandy never sealed the screw holes to its computers again (though they did still do the "warranty void if this sticker is broken" trick on some of their equipment). I doubt Apple will fix their practices though. They may be in the right: as soon as that MacBook got stolen it should have been considered compromised and completely forfeit. Cryptographically tying your hardware to your digital identity, as Apple does, provides, among other things, a means to recover your hardware without having to consider it untrustworthy.

Hell, Tandy may have been in the right. TRS-80 hardware was bodgy as all get-out and sometimes downright dangerous to open: the cathode on the CRT was dangerously close to the mainboard and likely to fry the computer, if not the user, if the user wasn't skilled enough to open the machine very carefully.
I think we need a different form of patent.

Current patents attempt to claim: this thing I figured out is novel and nobody else should copy me.

Many times, they claim this so someone else can't claim it and thus avoid arbitration.

It would be nice if we could also file: this thing I figured out is not novel and is a natural progression to the current state-of-the-art.

I guess the only means of doing this currently is to attempt to invalidate a patent? Or maybe, a whole swath of patents?

There is nothing truly-novel here (IMHO.) This is like a toothbrush patent with a slightly different number of bristles than every other toothbrush patent in order to sell a toothbrush legally.
Didn't we try that already and stop because of implicit segregation? [0][1]

It does, but at this point it’s like saying that JavaScript is DOM even though you can use it outside a web browser. Or it’s like blaming Python for TensorFlow. Like, yes, Rails is a use case for Ruby, and a popular one, but not the only one.
The NPU is reportedly slower than the IGP (just like in Apple devices) and restricted in what it can do. Both it and the GPU are bottlenecked by the 128 bit memory bus anyway. The 7840HS is just not fast in generative AI, even in the best case scenario.

Halo Strix's memory bus will be twice as wide, higher speed, and the GPU will be much bigger. It will be closer to a small GPU with a huge VRAM pool, rather than a dreadfully slow IGP.
Every Breville appliance I have feels that way.

I am starting to believe that "system has to be rewritten from scratch in the future" is not nearly the dealbreaker people make it out to be. Especially if it didn't take that much work building the v0 version.

You should almost always rewrite the system in the future, that's just the nature of growth and systems evolution.
You can get a phone call from an Apple representative very quickly in my experience.

Is this because if you do not add the device to your FindMy account, then someone else can add it to their account and lock the device?

If that’s the case, then that should be the warning.

“If you skip this step, then someone could add this device to their FindMy account and lock you out of your device. Apple will not help you under any circumstance if this occurs. We recommend adding this device to your FindMy account to maintain access to this expensive thing you just bought.”
In very quick summary: I bought a product online using my Cash App debit card. Turns out with more research company was a total scam. After 6 weeks of not shipping anything I asked for refund. They shipped "something" to me, but FedEx failed to deliver the box (said I was out but never even came down my street) and the package was returned to the sender. Sender closed their corporation and opened under another name and continued scam.

I asked Cash App to do a chargeback. They told me their system doesn't allow chargebacks where the goods were "delivered." I told them they were never delivered. They argued that they were delivered back to the sender, therefore they were "delivered." I got all their execs cellphones and started politely calling them. One escalated it to their "Executive Support" who gave me the same answer, then my account was terminated. They did issue me a refund as part of the termination, but I can no longer use Cash App which is very frustrating for someone at the bottom of the food chain like me who interacts regularly with people who only use Cash App as their banking.

In the interest of resolving your dispute, we are providing, as a one-time courtesy, a reimbursement of $93.75 for your transaction with Wibargin, LLC. Additionally, we are electing to terminate your Cash App account (as allowed in our Terms of Service, section XIII.8). As a result of the termination of your Cash App account, you will no longer be able to use Cash App and its services going forward.

You will be able to access your account in order to cash out your remaining funds, however all other features, including the Cash Card, will be permanently disabled.
you're wrong most of the time and google is too big and disfunctional to have a goal. it's just PM fiefdoms to extract profit from half done projects.

Well, for now, sure. Now we just need a way to compile and deploy HTMX routes to the database server as part of a CI process...
I used Ruby professionally in the early 2010s and that sucked all the joy out of it. Gigantic Rails monoliths in that era were just unmaintainable brambles. I probably would rather write Ruby again for side-projects but the ecosystem just isn’t there
You’re default fucked anyway current state based on this anecdote. Broadly speaking, government should make it as straightforward as possible to obtain a legitimate government credential from an equity perspective for a variety of lifetime identity needs (and about 1% of the US population has no government ID).

Thats why we run crater against all of crates.io: there are changes that should be allowed that we hold off on because 9f breakage, and fixes we assumed we couldn't land that in reality had no real world impact. As time goes on the confidence a "clean" crater run gives us goes down, due to adoption in closed source environments, but it is still invaluable signal. Depending on the bug, we can keep the current behavior around for prior editions but fix it for future ones.
