No, but I need to know them to read other people's code. Every C++ programmer has a slightly different subset of C++ features that they consider "basic", "fundamental", or "essential".

After 35 years of C++ on and off, I have pretty much given up it. I don't have the mental energy to deal with its complexity anymore. I will deal with parts of C++11 or C++14, mostly so that I can read other people's Arduino code.

I think I would rather learn a new language (Rust?) than deal with the hairball that is called "modern C++".
not to mention hardcore regulation on technical interop, with actually simple and cheap to implement alternatives (reuse what's there already), that stable in time.

For instance, most online services can be reasonably provided to noscript/basic (x)html browsers.
> "When health systems buy hospitals, they generally do not use borrowed money," said Song, who is also an internal medicine physician at Mass General. "In contrast, the classic private equity buyout uses a small amount of cash, but a large amount of debt."

This is a red herring. Health systems have different metrics for success than "the market". The former, ideally balances QoC with costs. The latter by definition only cares about ROI in terms of profits (either from revenue or from playing hot potato with other buyers). There's no reasonable argument why we should expect private equity to result in anything but a degradation of QoC if it doesn't have a considerable negative impact on profitability or resale value (and that's even ignoring situations in which a loss may be desirable or acceptable).
> USITC and exclusion orders are rendered void if everything was made domestically

>You can limit patent holders options by bringing supply chain here

Sure, you might get USITC off your back if manufacturing was domestic, but surely there are other agencies tasked with patent enforcement once you're onshore?
This is incorrect, if you distribute an app outside the play store you do not need to use their payment system, even by the letter of the law. The rule specifically applies to play store apps. It's common for developers of more technical apps (like VPN apps) to publish two nearly identical versions - one to the play store that doesn't support iap and one to f-droid/their website that takes payment via credit card.

It's possible the people writing this complaint may be referring to the fact that you can't link to or reference those options from the play store edition of the app, but I think they might just be misinformed.
> The author was running a paper mill with underpaid postdocs students and presenting their work as her own with very minimal supervision.

The postdocs aren't students.

How do you know that they were underpaid?

How do you know that she was presenting there work as hers - science is collaborative in the extreme now. It is very rare for a paper to be produced by one author. At one time I wrote a few such papers and I was told that it was actually a black mark against me for a post because I was someone who couldn't collaborate!
For an extremely specific and rigid use case / workflow, sure it's a close alternative.

For most people that want a flexible, extensible product that can do many things in many ways, it's probably not nearly as close an alternative.
Seems obvious. Private equity is all about sacrificing everything on the altar of cost cutting, quality be damned. Why should we be surprised they do the same to the hospitals they buy?
Same in France. The company where I work is closed, at least offices. It is mandatory holiday, except if you have a specific job (customer support, some accounting-stuff maybe - not sure), etc.
Precisely.

And studies showed that code is read by humans far less than assumed.

And, in my experience, understood even less. Instead, it is rewritten from scratch.

Assuming these sorts of things about your users' intent causes big usability problems. Trying to predict how users will use search usually ends up more frustrating than not for many people. Most people who use these tools don't have a working mental model of how search engines work, so they can't troubleshoot easily if your expectations and theirs don't line up. This is exactly the sort of "smart" feature that developers crow about all the time. Unless you have some way of predicting how individual people will use search boxes then you're much better off with something more general.
Well it would have been nice if the www had turned into a people's network of editable, interconnected documents.

At this point it's about as far from that as we can get. It's a giant dystopian shopping mall.

Could we activate the editable people's web?

Could we resurrect the original Web 2.0 (before the meaning of "sharing" got mangled into "forward this corporate media post to another customer")?

Yes, we could. We probably should. But we can barely get the Fediverse into the mainstream. Nobody blogs anymore. Attention spans are close to 0.

You might wanna double-check your math. I used the AWS pricing calculator, said I wanted to store 8000GB in Glacier Deep Archive in us-east-2, and wanted to recover it using 16000 API requests (wild guess). That, plus $0.05-$0.09/GB transfer came out to about $960 to recover.

Glacier is always super cheap as long as you don’t need to recover, and then it’s ferocious.

I mean the point was about LLMs not truly being problem solvers because they were trained to do so as opposed to having been evolved through evolution. I'm looking for what the difference is specifically within that dimension. Biological pigeons had their own process of evolution how they reached to have the type of neural networks and systems in themselves that gave them the ability to count - but not in all contexts for sure.

So yes, my point is that both have an optimisation process that through time lend them those emerging capabilities.

"After a hospital was acquired by private equity, admitted Medicare patients had a 25% increase in hospital-acquired complications, compared with patients admitted before acquisition. Patients also had 27% more falls and 38% more bloodstream infections caused by central lines, which are temporary surgically inserted ports that allow easy intravenous access for patients receiving repeated drug infusions or other treatments.

The increase was seen despite private equity hospitals' placing 16% fewer central lines than before the buyout."

I am not sure who the private equity firms are, but I thought it was alarming when insurers started purchasing hospitals, urgent care facilities and even your standard family med doc, as they would be negotiating with themselves on how much profit they could make off each appointment. But I didn't consider lower standards when it comes to patient care, this adds a whole different dimension.

If you RTA, that’s a perfect example of drawing a black triangle versus “A Black Triangle Moment”.

That tutorial is a general overview of all the possible boilerplate you would expect to see in a template project, and just happens to end in a triangle being drawn on the screen.

You could skip a lot of those steps. Is that 5 page section on constructing validation layers and fine tuning the debugger really necessary if your end goal was a triangle?

You can draw a triangle in Metal in thousands of lines of code too. And it’s common to have several hundred lines of pipeline descriptors, buffer management, and debug tooling before you even started encoding into your shaders. But it’s not necessary for _just a triangle_.

I’m struggling to understand how the standard PE model works, particularly the debt component. PE firms seem to target mediocre businesses, load them with debt, and then harvest returns and eventually the assets. Why would a bank loan money for such an arrangement, given how often these businesses end up in bankruptcy (Toys R Us as an example)? Is the debt collateralized and bundled with better performing debt or sold off to an unwitting buyer?
I have a web application with a lot of users. My users are happy to use the web. But because of better monetization options, I sometimes dabble with the idea to build a native mobile app.

Some years ago, I tried to build an Android app. It required an insane amount of tooling. Hundreds and hundreds of megabytes of stuff. GUI applications you have to use etc. I didn't even try to build an iOS app because that probably means you have to own a mac.

Is this still the same?

Or are there some linux command line tools these days I can use to convert a web app into an app that I can put on the Android/iOS app stores?

> I think there is nothing technical about FSL being source available.

Note that I used "technically" as the opposite of "typically". My suggestion is to care less about being in a category you don't want to be in when you are different from its representative members where it matters to you. (In this case the category is source-available licenses.) Focus your advocacy on how you differ instead of arguing membership. ("Yes, we are a source-available license. Don't let it turn you away. There are critical differences between us and source-available licenses you don't like. We are better than old read-only and new Commons-Clause licenses because..."—not literally this, but that's the idea.)

The C++ people can and will do whatever they feel like, I've come to accept that. Deep language models will bring clean, readable, literate code back eventually, but for now there's clearly no hope, and no point in complaining.

What bugs me is that if I ever need to update my resume again, I'll need to take C++ off of it. This time for sure. It's been there since the 1990s, but it has become increasingly fraudulent for me to leave C++ on my list of qualifications since then.

It kind of sucks to lose a hard-won skill... not because I got old and forgetful (which will happen, but not just yet), or because I stopped using it daily (I never stopped), but because they changed what it meant to "know C++." The code you posted might as well be Brainfuck or Perl or line noise or something.

C++ is simply not a C-derived language anymore, and we need to stop pretending otherwise. It was never about the brackets and semicolons, it was about the fact that you could read and understand it as a newbie with no more than a couple weeks' exposure. If all that crap is really necessary, then something went very wrong somewhere at some point, and went unaddressed afterward, and now it's too late.

I generally agree when how bogus this kind of thing usually is is brought up but in this case I'm not sure I can agree what happened here was fair play tarnished by misguided law after reading the backstory these past few weeks. The rub between the two here isn't pulse ox was used at all it's a specific implementation of a certain part of several patents Marino claims Apple stole when they were working together then abandoned the relationship. This isn't something where Apple did something obvious in a vacuum and suddenly a troll came out of the woodwork. "Prior work" doesn't mean someone did light based pulse ox before it means the specific implementation which improves it was already known and in use at the time the patent was filed, which is not the case here.
>Anyway, that wasn't my point at all, I'm just unsure how politically feasible it would be to accomplish this on the federal level.

This is such a silly quote:

> "Hospital success is measured not only in dollars or the number of patients who pass through the doors, but also in lives saved"

As if profits are the primary goal of hospitals and saving lives/treating patients is just an afterthought.

The capture of all life sustaining efforts by for-profit entities is probably the number one problem in the western world which is driving all others. Climate change, famine, homelessness, death from preventable disease.

None are caused by unsolvable problems but instead by the inability of the for-profit/market based system to provide for human needs.
Im endlessly fascinated by the cultural angle on technology of well being. We have enough resources to solve poverty, education, and access to medicine yet social determinism is the driving force in all these areas.

There have been recent calls for the human population to hit a trillion people (by billionaires). The reasoning is we’d “have more einsteins” but personally Im way more worried about the genius physicist working in an amazon shipping center.

"China is not to be taken lightly."

Yet that's exactly what you're doing.

"But they also face enormous problems due to unfavorable geography, lack of key natural resources, corruption, malinvestment, and demographic collapse."

None of these things are true. Stop consuming intellectual droppings from the likes of Peter Zeihan.

China has a monopoly on rare earths and more importantly, processing technologies, which are the key resources for a technological society. It's rapidly transitioning its grid and transportation systems to run on renewable power. Over the next decade it will do in hydrogen what it did in solar and wind. That will give it total self sufficiency in critical inputs like ammonia and synthetic fuels.

Corruption was an issue before Xi's anti-corruption drive. Corruption was wonderful when it served American interests, when the CIA was paying out the bribes. Now that the CIA networks have been torn up and the corrupt officials put behind bars and executed, the US cries that China is "increasingly authoritarian." Well, the louder the US cries, the more I know China is on the right path.

Malinvestment? That's rich coming from an OnlyFans economy like America. You people can't even make enough artillery shells to send to Ukraine. You're being outbuilt by an order of magnitude by Russia, a country you mock as having an economy the size of Texas. Your GDP is entirely hot air and all you make is noise.

As for demography, that's the last thin reed you have to hang all your ill wishes toward China on. Unfortunately for you, that's changing for the better. The Chinese government has shifted from an anti-natal/neutral policy to a pro-natal one and will introduce a raft of policies to boost birth rates. Before you even think that that never works, it does work. It worked in Hungary and it will work far better in China, where the Chinese government can pull many more levers than the Hungarian government can.

Incidentally, the biggest block to Chinese people marrying and having children is the high cost of housing. Guess what the deflating housing bubble is going to do for that.

"These problems are not getting better, and I won't be surprised if there's a violent civil war in 30 years"

Here is the ruling against Apple: https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/USITC...

The relevant patent claims are identified:

> the Commission finds that Apple has violated section 337 as to claims 22 and 28 of the ’502 patent and claims 12, 24, and 30 of the ’648 patent.

(Many more claims were included in the complaint, but Apple didn't lose on those claims.)

These are the '502 and '648 patents:

https://patents.google.com/patent/US10912502B2/en

> 22. The user-worn device of claim 21, wherein the plurality of emitters comprise at least four emitters, and wherein each of the plurality of emitters comprises a respective set of at least three LEDs.

> 28. [This is one of the base descriptions; too long to pull as a quote.]

https://patents.google.com/patent/US10945648B2/en

> 12. The user-worn device of claim 8, wherein the physiological parameter comprises oxygen or oxygen saturation.

> 24. The user-worn device of claim 20, wherein the protrusion comprises opaque material configured to substantially prevent light piping.

> 30. The user-worn device of claim 20, wherein the protrusion further comprises one or more chamfered edges.

The easiest way to avoid this set of patents appears to be to use less than three LEDs. I assume that will produce a more unreliable reading, but increasing the number of LEDs does not appear to be considered an "obvious" approach to that problem.
The Crick in London is maybe a better example.

You can get a single renewal - but that's all. No matter what you are done after 14 years.

"Apple thinks the patent is invalid" doesn't seem plausible to you? Masimo's lawsuit against Apple earlier this year was declared a mistrial, which doesn't rule out Apple as being innocent, but also suggests that the facts are not clearly favoring Masimo as you might think.
