> Personally, Android's ecosystem has never been compelling because of Google. Even barring their unrelenting focus on gobbling more of your data, they can't even keep their services on. Their graveyard is massive.

Who cares? If you're developing for Android, you don't need to care about Google killing off Stadia.

> How many times has their default messages app changed? It's nuts. Being an Android developer seems like an exercise in frustration.

Again, who cares? I'm using the same messaging apps that I was using 10 years ago.

And it's not like Apple is any better. It has standardized on iMessage, but you can't do anything with it as a developer. It might as well not exist for you.
I don’t get the criticism. It seems like basic research and the kind of thing that would lead the way to “AGI” (combining llm-style prediction with logical reasoning). Unless you’re talking about what’s the point of publishing Nature papers - then it’s probably that the people involved want some concrete recognition in their work up to this point. And I supposed tech/investor press until they get something useful out from it.
Hi @lgrammel, my intention was not to undermine the contributions made by you and others. Added all the original missing contributor's list to the repo. The commit link is http://tinyurl.com/2uzdefak.
"The law today treats companies as "authors," and classifies things like the source code of software as "literary works," giving software a much longer period of protection than it would have if it were classified only as an invention and eligible for a patent (now good for twenty years, with some exceptions)."

Microsoft has been arguably the largest beneficiary of software copyright. Gates argued for it in the early days of MicroSoft. Microsoft's anti-piracy campaigns are unparalleled. Anyone remember the "Business Software Alliance".

Now the company wants to be the largest beneficiary of "AI".
> Sure, you can make a slippery slope argument, but there is something substantially more "fictional" / artificial / unnatural about copyright/IP than currencies and other social constructs you are equivocating with.

I think there's probably some modern bias in this perspective, about how "natural"/"real" money is. Early human populations certainly didn't have the same concepts of currency, land ownership, etc. that we do today. Communally sharing resources to help each other/ourselves is older than our species, in fact common to multiple species, and the other social constructs like "money" get in the way of it too.

> That's how imaginary copyright and IP in general is, let's take the thing we've been doing since literally the dawn of time, copying and sharing information for free and building upon and improving it, and portray this practice as "unnatural" and "unlicensed" and […] It was created by corporations to make it easier for them to form monopolies around unchallenged control over a particular intellectual property or idea, and now that it is becoming inconvenient for them with the advent of AI, they will probably get rid of it or re-invent it in some way that even further benefits them.

Wikipedia says that King Diarmait Mac Cerbhaill adjudicated what was basically a copyright case over the Cathach as early as the sixth century, and the legal basis of copyright is founded in moral, economic, and property rights that existed in ancient Jewish, Greek, and Roman societies. Apparently, it took the printing press for unauthorized copying to become a big enough issue to be codified in law, but the poet Martial was complaining about missed profits from unauthorized copying and "book sellers would sometimes pay a well-regarded author for first access to a text for copying" (I.E. there was something resembling IP licensing, enforced by physical access rather than law) back during Roman times.

IMHO, yes. It's not an (internal) invention occurring as a result of insight into the process - it's an (external) human training one model on the output of another model.
A great read, not only technically but the images as well as the writing style.

Thanks for putting the time into writing it. I recommend it to all my colleagues.
If they do sales and marketing, they do. Premium tea shops will try to upsell customers all sorts of paraphernalia to prepare tea "just so" and rare expensive teas that taste nearly indistinguishable from less expensive varieties (particularly to randos with sub-sommelier level palates).

If it's just a chill little tea shop that doesn't advertise or go crazy on social media, focuses more on good tea and a comfortable space, keeps things affordable without trying to upsell or be pretentious, then lucky you. Those sorts of lifestyle businesses are very rare these days, they're being outcompeted by predatory hyper-efficient modern businesses to the detriment of all.
In general, I dont think it is productive to view most issues as fights between actors, or based on opinions about their character.

Opinions should be based on principles that could be applied those you like and dont like.

Yes, you are. If you're writing a mobile app, you HAVE to support iOS or go bankrupt.

There are no other options.

Welcome to the land of monopolies.
Update: Having poked around my own FB privacy report, Consumer Reports is clearly using the data available in the "Advertisers using your activity or information" report.

There are a ton of random companies on here, but it's important to note that this is NOT data being sent to FB as the report implies. This particular report is just the number of times I have been matched to an uploaded list - the uploading company already had my contact information, and they were able to add me to an ad campaign. FB doesn't bring in new data via these match requests, and they really don't share information with advertisers outside of how many matches they got.
Why not, it supports ad blockers so at least it is better than Chrome. Also it can put the URL bar at the bottom which makes much more sense on a phone.
No you’re absolutely right this is a huge problem. Why are C suites immune to performance reviews? It’s infuriating.
You can be against both, it's not either/or.
It's not at odds at all. Tell your wife not to install third party stores or payment processors and she'll have the locked down device she wants while the rest of us can more fully use the portable computers we paid so much for.

What is preventing more companies from creating more mobile operating systems? Are they hamstrung by efforts from the duopoly to keep them down? Or is it just hard? If the latter, should government take action to help foster their creation, like tax breaks?
Believe it or not, I'm looking for this exact kind of thing. Also, a custom SoC that is close to x86. I am not a fan of modern x86, would want something closer to the original Pentium Pro.
I'll take the gaming addiction. Epic wasn't the first to do this (remember way back when we lauded "Nintendo hard" which was simply based on making you eat quarters in the 70's/80's arcade? Yeah...), nor will this be the last kind of game monetization we see. People were hard on lootboxes and the (western) industry already shifted to Battle passes before any serious US legislation started.

Meanwhile the idea of an OS and how open it should be will probably be a battle for decades to come, for old, new, and yet to be made companies. May as well nip it in the bud now.
What that 9% buys you I guess is access to people like me. I'm not Amazon's biggest fan, but their protections and guarantees have always been solid to me. If it doesn't arrive, I get a replacement or refund. If it's broken, same. If it's junk, they'll take it back and issue a refund.

I've been burned by too many places to just start arbitrarily buying from someone I've never purchased from before directly. I've had companies just not respond, accuse me of stealing, tell me missing packages aren't their problem, charge enormous restocking fees, and in more than one case call me an idiot that doesn't know what I'm talking about. None of that with Amazon.

Maybe after establishing a relationship of being a reputable brand I could be swayed over, but even then there's no benefit to me unless the price is cheaper.

>Since 7 years I hear that Samsung apps are "quite nice theses days".
I never found it to be true. I owned a Samsung S7

To be fair that S7 from 2016 doesn't count as being from "these days" anymore, so your opinion is not up to date, as Samsung made pretty big strides in the last few years past 2020 compared to how it was when you last remember it with the nasty Touchwiz.
RAW, yes.
Why can’t I recommend a device to my elderly parents where I don’t have to worry about social media apps that trick them into installing apps from outside Apple’s App Store? Apps which are then free to ignore Apple’s guidelines and policies and other anti-deceptive policies?

Apple’s App Store review may not be perfect but Apple trying to police apps to make them adhere to some guidelines is better than nothing.

Remember with Facebook pushed a sneaky VPN as part of their iOS app so they could better track users?
There are a range of ML acceleration possible on existing chips. The basic 4-wide 8 bit integer SIMD extensions in NEON is available on basically all ARM Cortex M4F chips, which is already available 8+ years. It gives 4-5x speedup for neural networks.

The more recent ESP32-S3 has operations with up to 10x speedup, see https://github.com/espressif/esp-nn

Then there are RISCV chips with neural network co processors like Kendryte K210.

ARM has also defined a new set of extensions for NN acceleration, and reference designs for cores being ARM Cortex M85. Chips are becoming available this year.
ST has announced they will have accelerators in several lines.
There are dozens of startups creating accelerator designs and trying to pair them with MCUs.

So we have a bit already, with much more to come in the years to come.

How do you come to that conclusion? It's not like just because she's gone means that Meta will stop doing anything that she implemented. She could leave and Meta changes nothing about what they do, and there would be 0 gain for the "population of the world" that you seem think will happen.

As if. The Zuck will find someone else to lead, and our luck it will be someone with even less self control or care about the users than the person leaving. Sometimes, the devil you know is much more preferable to the devil that could come after.

We already spend an ABSURD amount of money to create and maintain car infrastructure. These roads are not cheap and commonly are not maintained well in part due to costs. That's not getting into externalities not covered by the cost of car ownership/usage. And where does this money come from? Generally the places where there is more density.

It just doesn't make sense for each person to have a several ton hunk of metal and for it to sit there taking up space 95+% of the time. This solution is not scaling well at all. People want to have a big suburban home, but at the expense of many, many others. It's just not right.

They are following the SC ruling which has explicitly given them the right to do so.

- anti competitive to force users to use their *Payment Processing* platform.

- not anti-competitive to charge 30% for purchases made from the app

The justification is that you're getting access to Apple's network of customers as "leads" and by referring them to you for purchases, Apple is justified a 27% commission.

Similar, other major digital market players such as MS, Google, Nintendo, Sony, Valve all charges 30% as a platform commission fee.

The end result is what you see now. Payment flows originating from the App, Apple is entitled to 27% (-3% which was judged to be an appropriate transaction fee for the Payment Processing).

Apple will not charge you 30% for any purchases made organically through Safari. This was not in the ruling and this remains functionally as it is now.

You can debate about the 30% being too high, especially on top of an annual fee. But claiming that all Safari purchases will incur 30% is a strawman.

There are always two limits, what producing something costs and how much people value the thing and are therefore willing to pay for it. The actual prize must be somewhere in that range. A thing is a success because the prize is less than what people are willing to pay but they might still be overpaying if a lack of competition does not drive the prize down towards the costs of production.

> You're arguing that they don't know what's good for them

Not really. In fact, that security and safety can be enforced even under the framework I'm proposing. Windows Defender is quite good these days, same on Android. It really doesn't compare to the early Win32/KitKat days.

"Outsourcing security to someone else" is a slippery slope of a DRM, anti-repair and anti-ownership future. We should be striving for more individual ownership and control over the devices and assets that we rely on for our daily lives, not less.
Why? I dont see any way the ranking algorithm would affect this discussion, and if it did, i think old style (ranking based on keywords) would make the comparison slightly better than google (pagerank) style search engines.

If the FPGA contains a hard PCIe IP that can act as a host and the proper transceivers and the CPU implemented all of the necessary things to interface with it, it'd be about as difficult as writing a driver for any other machine. Actually building a board for the FPGA with all of the required power supplies, peripherals, and a PCIe host is not a trivial undertaking however, and an FPGA with a hard PCIe controller generally isn't cheap!
This is a really interesting point.

If your app is already installed and your app (not the Apple App Store) directs you to a payment on the web, Apple will demand its cut. This case isn't an App Store referral, this the app doing the referral. The app has already achieved installation, the App Store is no longer relevant here. Yet, Apple demands a cut.
> dating, ordering dinner at a restaurant, buying at the store

Paraphrase: Apple/Google provide access to the internet therefore they 100% control access. You might use your argument for a mall or a credit card!

Not saying that Google/Apple are not monopolies especially in payments as you point out: I'm just suggesting to avoid using strawman examples that don't support your thesis!
Cars are pretty simple to estimate value on. Take a car, estimate its useful life left, estimate TCO. Compare to new.

If the batteries are good for 200,000 miles and you get one at 75,000, for half the price of new, and you pay cash (financing on used is typically terrible interest rates), then this is an economical purchase. If they require serious repairs other than the battery then maybe it's not economical.

There's some small advantage to buying used, even if it's not the best deal. It's a fixed amount of money for a fixed amount of time (life left). If you hate the car and want to change it, or it gets totaled and insurance won't pay for it, then your financial hit is less than if you had paid full price. Your next car can still be new, or used if you find a better deal. Finally, if you have the means, there's no shame in wasting some money on something you really want.

However, being used, and being a used rental car, are two different things. Buying it from a fleet, at least it would be driven somewhat sanely. But there's no crazier driver than a rental driver.
Our religious fanatics have put an insurrectionist who stole classified documents as their top choice for leader. Hopefully the trend of being a desirable place to live continues, but I don't know if it's yet safe to point fingers at the awful governments built by other sets of religious fanatics.

Executive privilege is an ugly back door to do whatever you want, and no amount of legal argumentation covers it up. Someone was elected to run the country, that gives them power to do things. It is assumed they are trusted to do those things. The proper mechanism to get rid of them is an impeachment. That's it.

America kills people that are anti-America. Its not going to be a pretty process. The door is left open to that, and there must be protection for presidents in this system to do those things.

>Or published the codebase without the compiler used to make the binary.

A slightly offtopic complaint, but too often I have seen tutorials for open source stuff (coughopenglcough) where they don't provide the proper commands to compile and link everything required to build it. Figuring it out makes the "getting started" portion even more tedious.
Great job, loved the book. Is there a plan for another one, perhaps this time focusing on compilers?
The infamous 30% goes back to the time when there where no app stores and we, mainly game developers, had to publish our games thru publishers who used to take a large percent of income, 50% or higher, up to 70% I heard; in order for app stores to become competitive they set the fee to 30% which was an incredibly great deal for us! It seemed to me that the democratization of game publishing finally arrived at that point. Not trying to defend them, just telling that times change.
From the original blog post:

I know they raised a lot of money, but this seems like a lot of engineers for what I thought they did. Maybe they were exploring a lot more functionality than I’m familiar with.
That doesn't make it any easier for people who have iPhones but can't install your app because your app is incompatible with whatever Apple demands. Trust me, most people who buy iPhones are completely oblivious to the app store rules and review process.
