This has not happened to me ever. I've picked up and put back items a ton. In fact the selling point of the tech is it is meant to handle this specific scenario. There are also weight sensors, so it's not just vision.
I would be interested in an answer here!
Many years ago (when LLMs were mere RNNs), I tried to do so electronic music generation[1]... the aim was to eventually try to do exactly this. But not a project I followed through on...

Our founder/CEO Jonathan Ross is a big fan of Haskell and used Haskell to design the first version of the TPU whilst he was working for Google. When he founded Groq he and the early team designed some parts of our chip using Haskell too, particular the matrix multiplication engine, IIRC. Most of our compiler toolchain is MLIR/LLVM/C++ as you suggest, but a decent fraction of it is Haskell and another decent fraction is Python. Haskell is actually a really good language for writing compilers!
some clothes come with the tag sewed in from the factory (not talking about uniqlo). which is worrisome because the combination of rfid tags you wear could be used to track you
I urge you to look up the definition of a genocide as defined by the United Nations. It's not just an accusation being thrown around for rhetorical purposes. This slaughter meets all the criteria.
No, this is a false equivalence.

If the choice were between pinochet and a liberal democratic government, then the liberal democratic government is the obvious choice. But the choice was between a military Junta and Communism; you've got two bad choices, but one of them has a free market and economic stability. The utilitarian decision is to pick pinochet.

If you have to choose between Naziism and Communism, you've got two equally bad, genocidal choices. In such a case, you shouldn't side with either group as it makes no difference which one you pick.
So Apple is filling in ChatGPT's moat then, not their own? Pardon my confusion

"People have somehow been convinced a small amount of civilians being killed relative to the whole population is somehow a “genocide”"

Per UN definition[1]:

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

- Killing members of the group;
- Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
- Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
- Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
- Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

If what is currently going on in Gaza isn't that then what is a genocide?

‘Worst’ in the original comment means —‘bad’ from the default perspective that is prevalent at tech giants (perfect code coverage, everything makes sense always — as opposed to allowing for freedom to iterate, rewrite, and create exceptional software that people find helpful and love).

He is extremely good at prototyping quickly (including things that can be quite complex — even with good code quality), building things people really want, and collaborating with users. Had he not come into Google via an acquisition, it seems unlikely that Google would have supported him and recognized his formidable talent (and I doubt he would have had the patience for Google’s typical pedantic code review process — I’m not saying Google’s code review culture is ‘bad’ but it can be extremely alienating to many gifted individuals).

Working with him has been an exceptional lesson in challenging my default assumptions about what being a ‘great’ software engineer can mean.

… and especially that there’s no one ‘right way’ — there’s just what works for some folks and what works for other folks. As you can imagine, although I can respect aspects of Google’s culture, I am strongly against the philosophy that there is ‘one right way.’
Eh this is really tricky, for exampe if I open instagram, Threads or tiktok 9/10 posts will be pro-palestinian with 1 being pro-israeli. Then some of the propalestinian post will be calling for genocide or celebrating the massacre of oct 7.

IMO you shouldn't censor anything. That's the only solution. When something is propaganda or false just quickly tag it as such with why it is false like Xitter does.
I have had only positive experiences with Swappa, both as a buyer and as a seller.
Swappa covers only electronics though. For everything else I have decided it’s not worth dealing with the people you mentioned on e.g. Craigslist and just give it to Goodwill.

It's a piece of short fiction written like a straightforward account of one fellow's history manipulating Wikipedia, which I suppose is easy to miss if you aren't familiar with the sort of stuff that Harper's tends to put out (which admittedly is sometimes insufferable). I think anybody looking for practical or technical insights in the piece will probably come up short, but I was impressed by its thematic depth w/r/t truth, personal integrity, etc.

You had to have spent money on the steam platform between june of 2016 and january of 2022 (iirc); i don't know if there was a dollar amount trigger in involvement.

No one is obligating Apple to be the only party that runs iMessage always-on servers. That's a decision that's wholly of their own making.
What frustrates me the most is how often it manifests as buying new, fashionable bamboo (for example) products and such rather than just reusing an existing item you or your relatives had sitting about, or buying one second hand. It's just more conspicuous consumption clothed in moral fashion
> In this case, Apple customers paid for Messages by buying their devices and/or iCloud plans.

I have an active iCloud subscription and I've spent at least ten grand on Apple products over the years. Why can't I see and send iMessages on my other devices?
> I mean, Musk went the practical route.

sure. but going the practical route isn't being some kind of hero. you don't go to a hero's gravestone and see the words "well, he did what he could."

Musk harnessed a very powerful desire which a lot of Americans share: to counteract climate change by buying stuff they like. If there's any credit to hand out, it's that desire which deserves it, especially since Musk answered the "buying stuff they like" part vigorously and the "counteracting climate change" part to a far lesser extent.

And then turned around and pretended to be more interested in the part he did less to accomplish.
No. That doesn't make sense. Turquoise lights are the new standard to identify self driving cars. That means in the near future there will be more models with self driving capabilities than the average person will be able to keep track of. If I put turquoise lights on my newer Subaru, it isn't unreasonable to think that other drivers will think that I have a self driving car. I can't imagine there will ever be a Subaru Impreza used to help fight fires.
I got excited until I clicked on the Github link and saw that it is Electron based. Not that I have a lot of problem with it, but there are just some apps that shouldn't require a GB or two of RAM. A note taking app is one of these.
I think you're assuming a city bus needs a fare. It doesn't. Santa Cruz County, CA has just passed a resolution where all busses in the county will be free to ride. It already is for folks working downtown, anyone under 18, anyone at the university, and for a small per-semester fee at the local community college.

This not only makes it more convenient to get around without worrying about buying transit tickets ahead of time, it means the busses can load from the front AND the back, making the time spent at each stop shorter and schedules easier to keep.

Much easier problem for autonomous setups when you remove fares and just have to monitor if anyone's in danger.

Public mass transit never breaks even from fares. What it does very well however is free up the money folks would have spent on gas, parking, car maintenance, etc., so they can move around and spend it more freely in the community.

You see this spectrum in various cities. Some cities make you pay depending on how far the light rail travels, so you naturally condition riders not to ride any more or further than they absolutely need to go. Places like New York City on the other hand just sell you a pass; taking an extra trip to the Met or to Central Park doesn't cost extra, so folks do it, socializing and stimulating the economy along the way.

New York's biggest transit mistake in my opinion is keeping the fares. They'll spend HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars on NYPD overtime to catch turnstile jumpers when they could spend less just letting people ride for free.

It's like when Florida drug tested everyone trying to get public assistance and ended up spending far more for administering and processing the test to catch a relative small handful.

> Emergency powers are not in the constitution, they’re basically “up in the air” of precedent.

No, emergency powers that actually exist are components of Constitutionally enumerated powers and, for the President, are mostly spelled out in statute law passed by Congress under its Constitutionally enumerated powers.

There is no source of powers for the US government outside of the Constitution.
I'm pretty sure decathlon has been using rfid since way before 2019
It’s been a long time since I looked into it, but IIRC the exposure time doesn’t make sense in a duct. RealSexyCyborg talked a lot about this during the pandemic. Though that analysis was limited to the Covid virus.

Also to watch for: Some solutions produce irritants like ozone. Not to say they aren’t appropriate, just that they don’t come risk free.

It would be a good question for that forum for sure.
IDF doesn't have intent to destroy palestinian group, they have intent to destroy Hamas, so probably you only can call it genocide against Hamas.

Genocide was in Ukraine for example, when Russia targeted powerplants during winter, which didn't have any military value.
Pinochet effectively just took control of exporting Chile's resources and underperformed similar economies. The whole Miracle of Chile is propaganda.

And even if it wasn't, it's still on the level of "at least the fascists got the trains running on time".

Since, like the trains cliche, it's not even true, it's just cheerleading for pointless death and torture.

Ever since I had to do a report on spiders in sixth grade, I've been a relocator, not a squisher. Even the occasional black widow near my front or back door is left alone.
I really hope Apple releases an iPhone with a good on-device private LLM assistant, perhaps next year. Their hardware is well-positioned for it.

It could make me get a new phone outside of my usual ~4 year cycle. Siri is almost unusable for me.

Given your stance, if a murderer runs in your house then you'll understand when the police break the door down and kill you and everyone inside right?
So as long as it‘s just a few thousand civilians being killed, and someone calls that genocide, it‘s ok to censor that? That‘s a pretty cynic view.

Anyways impressive/fun quick read, good story.

> A lot of Palestinian content descends straight into hyperbole. People have somehow been convinced a small amount of civilians being killed relative to the whole population is somehow a “genocide”. This is the consequence of totally unmoderated content.

A genocide is the indiscriminate distruction of a population, that is exactly what Israel (with the support of the USA) is doing to Palestine.
One thing I often find a bit depressing about these stories is that they often end up making money off of others who want to join the solopreneur bandwagon. In this case it’s a SaaS boilerplate git repo, which is at least a product, but often it’s just online courses for wannabe solopreneurs and similar. Feels a bit ponzi…
Manipulative titles that contain words such as "could" or "experts say" are not worth my time.

I think this is partly due to WFH and loss of foot traffic (these were usually located in business districts, where the lunch crowd would come in and grab a prepared meal and walk out). I don't think it was due to technology not working or uptake being low.

Downtown Chicago had a few that were fairly popular. COVID killed the office crowd.

When you’re facing critical issues that require specific expertise outside of the current team’s core competencies, bringing in an experienced consultant makes a lot of sense.

Of course finding one you trust is even harder. The vetting process itself is lengthy and tedious, so the natural tendency is to lean towards people/orgs in your trusted circles that your trusted friends can vouch for.

Or, you have one or more management team members who aren’t pulling their weight, what do you do? If there’s a chance spending $50k on a consultant will fix them you try that first before swallowing the $200k hidden cost bill of lost time, training, legal, onboarding, and opportunities costs replacing them.
Nah, people will keep using Windows 10, like they still use XP and 7 nowadays.
For contrast is there a conflict where people have been killed that doesn't meet that definition of genocide?
Surely there's a scale?

Technically, any "killing a member of a group" would be a genocide under this definition.

Even if someone commits a mass murder against a group, we typically call it mass murder or a hate crime -- not genocide.

So there has to be some idea of what genocide is -- what is the scale, what is the intent? Is it to wipe out a people? Or is it something else?

25,000 death is a lot. I'd say its a war crime. An atrocity, perhaps. But a genocide? Against a population of 2 million? Idk. Maybe?

It seems that we have no common definition of the word
They cannot integrate it deeply into Apple's platforms.
> with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group

What is your proof of the intent?

Hamas, on the other hand, make their genocidal intent very clear, every chance they get. "then what is a genocide?" That is.
Debian does not need HTTPS as it assures the authenticity of packages through package signatures.

However for privacy, it would be better to use HTTPS as then only you and your chosen package server will know what packages you have chosen to install.
Sadly I agree with this. It seems like the best summary of how most people treat free speech is basically:

"If my side is the underdog, talk about how important it is and complain that we're being censored, and if my side is winning, talk about how it's not necessary and those people can go elsewhere"

It was extremely obvious when Twitter was bought by Musk and the rules changed to favour far right wing content and rhetoric. Suddenly all the folks talking about that XKDC comic and no free speech on a private platform had a very different tune once their side was the one getting banned or censored there...

If you disagree with how a platform is run, go somewhere else.
That is propaganda for the west. If it where the case they would not be dropping 2000 pound bombs on civilians [1].

The article should have added a happy twist at the end:

"Luckily, alternative operating systems are available to breath new life into these devices, such at the Ubuntu OS which come pre-loaded on some Dell computers."
The target is Hamas. Some innocents are dying, but the intent isn’t to deliberately kill them. And there is no evidence any of those other criteria are even happening.
Twitter has surprisingly become much better since Elon purchased it. The community tags are great and non-partisan, they fairly report on all inaccuracy.

Even advertisers aren’t immune, I’ve seen community tags on paid ads calling them out for being drop shippers.
nobody's advocating that. I used the example of making the world go 100% vegan because it is an example of a thing which would be incredibly effective, yet which any reasonable person would consider impossible.
"Examples it cites include content originating from more than 60 countries, mostly in English, and all in “peaceful support of Palestine, expressed in diverse ways”. Even HRW’s own posts seeking examples of online censorship were flagged as spam, the report said."

But yes, I would have liked to see some concrete examples.
Sounds like what they tried back in the 60s.
Dijkstra was a dick and his take has probably be more damaging than BASIC itself.
The vast majority of people are principled on outcomes, not the details of how to get there.

So when aiding in an attempted coup or a coordinated effort to manipulate votes to subvert democratic institutions, their principles are focused on stopping that from happening. But we simultaneously admire the founding fathers - who committed a coup and massaged democracy to embed their own power and ideals. And it's regularly asked (though less commonly with time) why Germans didn't just "kill Hitler", by people who would call the assassination of Abraham Lincoln appalling. Because it aligns with their principles for the outcome of "a better world for people", which is what they actually care about.

Being dogmatic on the implementation details is important as a preventative measure for abuse by bad actors later, mostly. But forgetting that the end goal is a more just world is just as deadly, because it can let institutions be warped and abused, even if they technically don't break "principles". Plus, I think the last 100 years have made it fairly clear that the real threats and tyrant don't care, they'll just break your principled rules and just... Do it?

Anyway, I find it curious that you call "being against an active genocide of a race of people, the murder of innocent women and children in their open-air prison" a simple "dog in the fight". As if stopping thousands of deaths isn't worth breaking a principle or two? Now I don't know enough about the situation to say that's what's happening or not, but that's what these people are the very least feel. Try to use that perspective when engaging the discussion.

It works like this if you're simply using the Apple Workouts app on your watch, instead of the Strava app. If you use the Strava app, it'll upload directly, as well as, write to your Health data. If you use Apple Workouts, it'll detect the workout for Import (if you don't automatically import), and read that from Health.
Ah, this brings back memories of Walnut Creek CD-ROM collections.
Same thing with Apple devices although on a smaller scale. Just yesterday I put an SSD in my Dad 2009 iMac and managed to install Ventura because some crazy nice people continue to maintain legacy patcher. And guess what, it works well enough for emails and browsing.

The fact that the most rich and powerful businesses on the planet are not required to do this just makes angry. If we seriously want to do something about the environment sh*t like this windows 11 thing should not be legal period.
No, there are clear criteria for genocide as stated in other posts.
Yes, it looks like Apple is going after everyone and anyone that has a web based LLM, ChatGPT, Poe, Claude, etc. via developer kits LLMKit that can work offline.

This will only work if their models (even their tiny or even medium / base models) equal (or are better than) GPT-3.5 / 4.

From there, Google will follow Apple in doing this offline / local LLM play with Gemini.

OpenAI's ChatGPT moat will certainly shrink a bit unless they release another powerful multimodal model.
Maybe I just don't understand (maybe it's purely about principles?) but I really can't understand the desire for a separate app for sms, without imessage. Maybe for sms+potentially with other integrations?
How do you know what they're implementing and not, all we know is that they said they will implement RCS, nothing more than that. If they do not, they lose their main messaging that they care about privacy first (which is already bullshit I know).

The main issue here is that Apple is not permitting users from selecting a different SMS/RCS app on their devices. That needs to be addressed.

It should never be up to Apple (or any company in general) to regulate what open standards can be used nor what apps can be used as default for said open standards.

Apple should not be forced to support RCS but they should be forced to allow users to switch to Google Messages (or anyone else like Beeper, Insta, etc) as the default RCS client if they want.
"People have somehow been convinced a small amount of civilians being killed relative to the whole population is somehow a “genocide”. This is the consequence of totally unmoderated content."

There is a lot of hyperbole and hypocracy, sure, but there are also official statements from israeli politicians and the IDF, to give up all military restraint.
And statements wanting to make Gaza inhabitable.

That goes in the direction of (modern definition of) genozide, when you want to permanently destroy the land of other people, so they have to go away. As they then cannot exist as a culture anymore.
