I've used an app called PhotoSweeper[1]. It can access your Photos library directly. You can manually review them side-by-side or let it run automatically. You can also set thresholds of % similarity to reduce false removals. I believe it can also move the duplicates into a separate album for review later.

> Prior to the iPhone / iOS, Apple would have happily built in support for something like Google Cast

I really don't think you can assume this. For example, a long time ago in computer years, Apple rolled out "Yellow Box for Windows" which was a way to get NeXTStep apps running on Windows http://www.shawcomputing.net/resources/apple/os_pictures/ybn... as part of Rhapsody Developer Release 2 (this was a prerelease OS X)... and then promptly ditched it.

Being able to develop once and then deploy to both OS X and Windows sounds great to developers, but think about this: If you had access to Mac apps from a Windows machine, then why would you buy a Mac, when Apple is competing on quality and not price? It'd be a win for app developers but a big "lose" for Apple.

So why would Apple have ever built a way to cast to Google Cast if they already had an AppleTV product that wasn't competing on price with Google Cast? (AppleTV's are great, btw)
Why would you think that people burned by Firefox would go back to it instead of switching to different Chromium-based browsers? Firefox market shared declined to a single digit for a reason...

Yes, because naming core operations in the language after assembly instructions in an ancient IBM vacuum-tube computer because they are incidentally how those operations happened to have been implemented once is the height of clarity.

100% percent agree with the article.

Its funny how we all differ in respect to what kind of feedback we find acceptable from our computers. I turn off all audio notifications. I MUST have a hard disk light. I need graphs running at all times. I like to hear fans spinning up when the CPU/GPU is hot. And I never want to have my computer talk to me. ethernet jacks MUST have link and activity lights.

This is the way.

> Is it so hard to live and let live?

Only if "live and let live" goes both ways. Junkies make it a drain on their family and social circle to support them. They also mess up the public spaces and make those unlivable (looking at you, SF). If they behaved within limits of socially acceptable behavior, I would support "live and let live" when it comes to drugs.
Capitalism. If customers find that extra service valuable, as a publisher, why wouldn’t you charge for it?

(Bundling the paper and digital products also could lead to “If I buy a physical book, and don’t want the ebook, why isn’t that cheaper?”, but such a very limited bundling of products, I think, is a much lesser concern)
I tried to go on holidays with my dslr… what a pain. So heavy (unless you buy a $3000 mirrorless) for photos I never print and the times I print them no one ever take the time to look at them. They stay in a closet until thrown out.
The quality from my iPhone is not that great as a 4K monitor wallpaper compared to my DSLR. But given the fact that it weights nothing and on holidays the iPhone allows me to text, use GPS and google maps, play, read articles, watch videos and allows an immediate editing of my photos in raw and created a shared album right away … it’s a no brainer anymore
Especially the US government in terms of age.
one important thing you left out - the ability to reproduce and thus "evolve" naturally, and at scale, to essentially keep improving its own brain to the point it outpaces current human researchers in self-improvement. If not reproduce, maybe reincarnate itself in version 2.0, 3.0, etc...
Which institution? Most homeless shelters and mental hospitals don't allow recreational drug use or possession on the premises, and I doubt those policies would change even if drugs were legalized. And most drug addicts can't hold down a stable job to pay for private housing regardless of legal status.

I generally think legalization is a good idea. But junkies are always going to be a burden who live on the margins of society and survive by leeching off the rest of us (crime, welfare, donations).
Ban caffeine! Ban alcohol! Ban rock music!
Isn't that already the case with jailbreaking for example? I.e. it doesn't have to be easy.

Does Apple have something like a "key" that would allow you to just run arbitrary software on the device? Is it something they would have to build, support, and maintain? I'm guessing this isn't a problem on Android and you can run whatever you want.

I would say rather that code badness has been keeping up with computing power increases.
I think all good apps should strive to achieve a flow-state, and Rosebud is no exception; we aspire to achieve the same. The AI part is to solve a problem rather be a feature. The kind of users we want to serve, and what they want, is to make games. The chat interface is a way to create a flexible interface to do that, not force AI into the solution. "AI build me ___" is only addressing simple asset generation or addition of game features, which is a very limited use of AI to solve the bigger problem we are focused on, which is to decrease the barriers to entry to making games.

There is also a useful distinction between generative AI features of gameplay versus AI in aiding the creator (game dev) to make games. We do both, but they are driven by different user needs. For instance, for the former, there are AI powered characters which gives players a sense of spontaneity in the gameplay.

It's not anticompetitive because you're misunderstanding what Apple Messages fundamentally is.

It's not just a protocol. It's a very expensive service platform that Apple runs as a service to its users. Apple is simply not obligated to let Android users use that platform and derive all its benefits for free. It's not.

This isn't anticompetitive; it's an example of Apple being simply better at competing in this particular arena.

The fact that your social circle has certain dynamics doesn't change this at all, of course.

I totally get that.

I'm just one person, but for me, this was the feature that made me switch to a minimalist text editor for writing.

Otherwise, why not stick with Emacs? Plain text with light syntax highlighting is something Emacs already does fine, it's relatively distraction free, it has keyboard shortcuts I've already memorized forward and backwards.... The biggest downside is that I have to pop over to another window to get proper syntax rendering and to be 100% sure it's parsing the way I expect.

Anyway, just my two cents. I could totally understand it not being worth the effort to implement, but when it works, it's really nice.

trite critic-pandering trash imho, it's only "tough" in that the director hates you, the audience, and thinks you're stupid, and it has a nihilistic message that is the opposite of important, it's stupid and disastrous, and most of the people who I have encountered who like this film seem to be in a pissing contest with one another over who can enjoy the most unpleasant film

It seems like a fundamental right that I should have full control of a device which I own outright.

That control, over something I paid for and ostensibly 'own' will be used against me, as in the case of App Store cuts and digital payments. Why should that be allowed? If I own it, it is mine, and control over its technology should be mine as well.

Ok, so a not very representative tl;dr was provided so adding mine here.

1. Serial CPU performance of Julia-unoptimized was around 12 times that of Python/Numpy.

2. Serial CPU performance of Julia optimized gave another 10-12x improvement leading to total 140x improvement over Python/Numpy.

(good pointers on speeding up the Python code beyond Numpy listed but not tried or benchmarked)

3. Even though the GPU was rated for a listed performance of 9.7TFlops (A100) the code performed around the same as the optimized Serial CPU which has a listed performance of 2.5TFlops over 64 cores. Surprising result, there are some pointers to why that might be.

4. When comparing Julia-MPI with Fortran-MPI, at lower processor counts both match for total time, at middle processor counts (16-128) Fortran takes more time than Julia, at higher processor counts Julia becomes slower than Fortran. However the scaling down of Julia is driven more by a less efficient implementation of the communication time with the higher processor setup. Computation time scales well for both Julia and Fortran but the communication time takes over in the Julia case.

Some nice optimization tips are provided to speed up Julia code. No plans to use Julia yet but it is good for prototyping and Fortran is good enough for now.

All of these platforms do far, far more than just basic payment processing.
The only browsers on iOS are webkit browsers, and when Chrome was new it was also webkit. Because of this, the ideal target for a web developer became webkit, including webkit-only features and workarounds for webkit bugs.

This automatically pushed Firefox, Opera, Edge, IE out of the picture, because we basically had an emerging browser monoculture already. If the people who were already using Firefox could have kept using it on their new phone or tablet as well, syncing bookmarks and history, that would have probably slowed its defeat a little bit and perhaps slowed Chrome's growth. We eventually got a Firefox-branded wrapper around Safari's webviews but Apple's architecture guarantees that those webview frames will always be inferior to Safari.

Safari being available on Windows might've helped too, but I understand why Apple chose not to do that.

I for one am highly annoyed at new keys generating a combination, since that means they can't be mapped to some more useful function.

The issue isn't that Apple should be using SMS in particular -- SMS sucks. But they should either use some standardized protocol, or publish a protocol standard for iMessage.

Interesting, thanks. I guess I didn't realize there was that much variance and mostly associated modern instrumentation with american protestants. The only catholic churches I've been to have been eastern rite which is outwardly mostly the same as what I'm familiar with.

I still don't really intuit the distinction between instruments and styles you're making but I believe you that it's there. I can't see how any instrument is inherently profane, but that is simplified by the tradition that all of them are inappropriate for liturgy. Once you've permitted any you need a criteria to exclude the rest. It seems like the catholic church is very much in the process of working out the contours of that.

Live, die, wake up as a robotic slave.

One takeaway from the long-running US experiment with sky-high incarceration rates is that you can't imprison your way out of a crime problem. In spite of locking away so many people, there's a huge issue with criminality that's ingrained in many subcultures. It makes me think maybe China's social credit system might be more effective than what we have now.
Yeah. I've heard this same comment before in different forms from "Python apologists" about a dozen times. In practice it's still a lot of hair-pulling, because your entire comment assumes that EVERY Python project is already doing things exactly this way and hasn't screwed up a single part of it: https://twitter.com/pmarreck/status/1735363908515295253

but also...

> but stuff like this would usually get installed globally

well, you just killed (apparently unknowingly?) your whole argument right there, because globals are bad and absolutely not project-specific and absolutely do cause compatibility issues between different Python projects

If you ever come around to Nix, it takes care of this problem for good (as in, it guarantees that you will never have 2 projects that step on each other), across every ecosystem, not just Python's. Unfortunately, I don't see very many Python projects at all that contain a flake.nix file, which is a damn shame, because it would cause people like me to hate Python just a tiny bit less
It's tough, because there's a lot of overlap between groups that advocate for Jews and groups that advocate for Israel. The difficulty in conceiving metrics which can account for 'soft power', like influence via political and popular media, is (in my estimation) part of what makes people so attracted to bizarre consipiracy theories on the matter. Even trying to formulate such metrics (on any topic, not just Israeli affairs) quickly leads to sounding like one has arrived at the far side of weird. I don't have the right answers, but raw dollar input in the lobbying industry simply can't be the whole story; humans are more complex than "money in, opinions out".
> First, the link no longer leads to the search, as the redirect seems to strip the parameters.

Github acquired NPM, and now they're trying to integrate NPM with all of Github's products, so NPM advisories now link to the Github advisories page, which is probably why the search query is being stripped. This is definitely not ideal, but I would probably characterize this as corporate ineptitude. Classic case of a company acquiring a smaller company and not properly handling the integration.

> Second, searching the github for "no-one-left-behind" gives no results.

Like I said, there are bots publishing malicious packages faster than human reviewers can even describe them, so I don't expect a full write up for every prank package. Are you really upset that you had to Google the package instead of following a link in a package's description? Really? Would you instantly mistrust any organization with a link that lead to a 404 page?

> Third, this _is_ a vulnerability of the NPM ecosystem, as shown by the fact that this happened _AGAIN_ this week.

I would hardly characterize this as a vulnerability of the NPM ecosystem. I'm not even sure if this would warrant its own CVE. You act as if the package was installing bitcoin miners on developer machines. Like I said, if this were a vulnerability in the infrastructure of NPM itself (say for instance it managed to hack the servers hosting NPM), then I would definitely expect a full write up. All it's doing is preventing people from unpublishing packages. It was honestly a curtesy of NPM to even take it down. If it was up to me I might make the whole registry immutable.

Another commenter said it best: "In any case this is a mild inconvience at most. Anyone who gets upset over this needs to go touch grass."[1]

So much this. We’re so spolied by low cost airlines in Europe.

I can either
- go for a train trip to the 2nd largest city in Denmark (Copenhagen to Aarhus) for 230 eur (2 adults + a kid) and it takes almost 3 hours. - take a Ryanair flight to Alicante for 240 eur (2 adults + a kid), flight takes 3.5 hours

The weather will be much better, the food and accommodation cheaper by a long shot (not to mention Spanish cuisine). It’s not even comparable how much more value you get when flying.
I agree, but you underestimate the cost of software in "safety critical" applications.

ARPA-H has a mandate beyond aging, according to the FAQ [0], everything from cancer research to healthcare access. While, according to the article, in the most recent funding bill for the ARPA-H "...the Senate has recommended funding geroscience research..." and "... urged [the ARPA-H] to prioritize two areas of geroscience research: biomarkers and epigenetic reprogramming.", that is a long way from actually allocating the entire budget of ARPA-H [the mentioned $1.5B] towards age-reversal technology. No money may end up being allocated towards age-reversal technology, and if some is, it's only a going to be a portion of a diversified portfolio of research the agency will fund.
