It's actually annoying that the refunds and VAT are handled.

For small international developers, under 500K per year spread out over several states & countries, often they don't have to pay VAT in most international places, so they lose an extra 20-22%. For instance most US states won't require you to pay VAT under 100K revenue if you are from another country.

Same for refunds & subscription management, often clients will ask you, but you have zero control with Apple. Let alone 60 days before being paid, where stripe does it in a few days.
Glass blocks 100% of UVB and 25% of UVA. So while you wont burn, light through glass will still cause skin damage.
Both sides are pretty good for being well shaded from the sun, in the Channel Tunnel, in my experience.

I would argue art is better when it's the result of the effort and vision of an individual

prompting a search engine to stitch images together on your behalf might result in an image you can call art, but imo all the art generated wholecloth like this sucks. necessarily derivative. put into the world without thought.

My favorite critique of LLM work: "why would I bother to read a story that no one bothered to write"
I don't misunderstand it whatsoever, you just choose to ignore that consent trumps any notion of commercialization and doing as you please, in both a legal and ethical context.

If these things don't need to be trained on the work of others for whom they don't have consent and have not paid a license fee to, then why are they? Because it's exploitation by some of the biggest corps in the world. They should not be above the law and the utmost basic of ethics—consent. That is why it isn't "okay".

I am not debating that generative AI can't be done ethically, I am pointing out that search is consensual. I can use robots.txt to opt out of being included in search results, but search engines direct traffic to the author. Authors did not consent to having their non-web content included in an LLM as an example. The problem is consent. The problem is your attitude towards consent.

The primary purpose of the commercially and publicly available generative AI is to undercut human labour. Fact. What it serves up is frequently too similar to the existing work that it was trained on, and therein lies the problem on every level, not just from copyright infringement, but one of consent.

You approached it from the angle of copyright, but the problem is one of consent. The reason it isn't "okay" is because consent wasn't given with these public, commercialized models.

Deepfakes are part-and-parcel to copyright infringement. If you can take x and make it look more like y by applying z attributes then this is why you can make it regurgitate someone's intellectual property who did not consent to being included.

Are these people really this shallow? What does that even mean
That seemed easy. What was required to make the batteries dispatch power in this way? I have rooftop solar and batteries in the UK and I would definitely engage in a similar scheme like this except I wonder how much work the power companies would have to do to make it work.
Aside from cranking the math, here's how I think about it: in the far field of a small aperture, the electric field has spherical phase (think expanding circles), and the field distribution is the Fourier transform of the aperture. A lens is an element that adds spherical phase - a plane wave passing through a convex lens now has a spherical phase distribution. So the lens focal point is now the tiny aperture in that system, and since the math works out the same no matter which way the light is going (reciprocity), the focal point is the FT of the field at the input of the lens.

Goodman is great, Hecht and Zajac covers more fun with optics at an intro level.
I am pretty sure I've seen videos of commercial robots power washing public bathrooms. Probably not a solution for normal bathrooms with wood furniture and fabric items but it is definitely possible today.
Yep. Living near the sea means access. In three weeks you could go all the way from Bergen to Lofoten by sail. As soon as you set foot on land.. no access. Before roads and tunnels. Even recently.. the book "Three in Norway, by two of them" from 1881 was written by a couple of British guys (they were three, but two wrote the book) going to Jotunheimen for fishing and hunting. They left by ship from Newcastle and arrived in Oslo (today's name) after just two days, but going from Oslo to (at the map, "nearby") Lillehammer took three whole weeks. With support from locals and guides and there was even a road at the time.

My grandfather, who lived at the coast, could meet people up and down the coastline as much as he wished. But there could be people living just a few kilometers away, as the crow flies, who he would never meet.. because there was a mountain in between.

Thus, dialects along the coast have much more in common with each other for much longer distances than inland dialects which can vary greatly even over relatively short distances.
Both are horrible and will crash and you will never finish your project. Just use Resolve and get work done.
Knowing what I know now I would write enterprise grade tools to completely commoditize front end developers. I don’t mean framework nonsense, so developers can pretend to be developing, but a real business solution that entirely writes the frontend for noncoder product owners with a focus on performance, accessibility, and small output.

The 99% goal of frontend browser developers is to connect to data from some backend database and put text on screen. Yes, that is beyond stupid trivial, like conjuring the insane strength required to lift a paperclip. Nonetheless, it seems very few people can figure it out. The compile target of the browser is the DOM, which irrationally scares the shit out of most people. The DOM is just an in-memory data structure accessed via a standard API.

Imagine how much employers would be willing to pay if some application can eliminate 90% of their frontend developers and produce superior output with a lower cost of maintenance.
> The white people didn’t know they were devastating the native Americans, but they were super off-base to judge them as savages when it’s far more accurate to say that the natives who did contact and conflict with the young USA and Canada were more like post-nuclear-holocaust survivors.

Odds are good they knew (thanksgiving is literally foundational american history, but the Wampanoag were near ended by the end of the century).

But “they’re just savages” makes it much easier to genocide them and steal their land than “they’re survivors of a civilisational collapse”. The US put significant effort in extirpating the tribes from their homelands and exterminating them, this labor was considered so important even the civil war did not stop it (the Long Walk of the Navajos started around the same time as the Siege of Atlanta and the displacement / forced marchs policy outlasted the civil war, the california genocide was basically an ongoing policy from the mid 1840s to the end of the boarding schools and eugenic policies — though most of the direct killing had been achieved by the turn of the century, …).

I thought it was a refreshingly humble and honest-sounding post, by someone who'd done a lot of reflection.

Of course, not everyone matches the writer's motivations, and he went and told the reader what those motivations are.
We don't have to speculate - the desktop OS world has exactly this structure - an open ecosystem with a first party app store that ships with the OS, but the ability for other app stores to exist or even for developers to ship their products independently.

In practice you still see a decent amount of activity on the official app store, along with some other major app stores, and a relatively small amount of independent distribution. There's still a good amount of small independent developers shipping apps (both on the stores and independently), and there's not a ton of evidence of price increases - in fact there's a very large amount of free software being distributed.
Condescending on the original comment was because the authors could have asked any farmer and would get an explanation of what is happening.

Condescending on a response was because a guy didn't even bother to read my comment and was putting stuff in my mouth that I didn't say. And also because uses condescending language (like "hilariously absurd") when clearly wrong.

Do I think people should be nice to each other? Yeah, I do. But I also believe my self-imposed obligation to being nice to you is conditioned on you following minimum rules. I am not expecting much, really. Like don't say I wrote something which I did not. Or put a minimum effort when writing an article if you expect kind response. If you don't do it, I reserve my right to respond about it the way how I feel.

I believe requiring everybody to be nice to everybody else in every possible situation is not a good way to have an advanced civilisation. I think there was a Black Mirror episode to that effect.
I agree it’s lossy in some way. Most of the popular apps with purchases are tied to a login, so there’s a step of logging in again but the app is free to download.

Everything else you mention is part of the nature of changing operating systems: software incompatibility / unavailability. That never has and unfortunately never will be solved. It’s hard enough to keep old software working on new releases of the same OS.
You want to reach your self-hosted services within your network easier.
First, please clarify whether you are asking about performance impacts vs. no bounds checking or vs. bounds checking in software.

The "vs. no bounds checking" deals with the fact that the bounds must be stored somewhere, so you get an additional memory access, and that's slow (best case, puts some load on the caches).

The "vs. software" is more like RISC vs. CISC in general.

> ... modern photography suites offer both correction of effects of lenses (e.g vignetting and pincushion) and chromatic aberration...

Yeah. I haven't worried about chromatic aberration in lenses for about 15 years now. It's trivial to automatically correct in post processing, as long as you shoot RAW.

Really? IMO 3x profit is a terrible multiplier. Depending on the business, 3x revenue could be worth it, but that's a completely different calculation. Of course, it also depends on how much work you're doing to sustain that profit. If you're working full-time to make this happen, 3x profit is a more attractive proposition than if you're just cashing the checks.
The standardization of kitchens (to optimize the housewife's day, based on observations) also lead to the hilarious black comedy “Psalmer från köket” (English title “Kitchen stories”) where the premise is that the government tries to repeat the success for single males. Who are considerably less amenable to having a researcher sit high up on a perch to write down their every move :-)
> Are they mentally trapped in 2001 or something?

Doesn't appear to be the case. A lot of the code is just very old and used to work on linux before Mono dropped support, and the author simply didn't have the spare time to fix it.

Some 12-13y back (time does fly) Cliff Click (hotspot architect) had a series of blogs on optimizations, incl. the lattice checks (i.e. within bounds). Was quite insightful. It was called: "Too Much Theory" [0]

Exactly. (Also most developers will have exceptionally hard time maintaining such code)

> Let the user decide. End of story.

The value proposition of iOS is that the app store is the place to go, and that my experience will be seamless. I want a centralised place to manage my subscriptions. Here's an example:

I subscribed to NYT Cooking in the web a few years back. I went to cancel only to find out that I have to phone them. If I subscribed on an app store it would have been one click and done. I'm actually still subscribed to it.

Why is your choice more important than my choice?
I meant I'm not ready to say that it is, I have not solidified this as a fact in my own mind. I'm contemplating.
No, they are all years behind. Resolve is free, save your time and use what is used by pros around the globe.

> statically compiled languages

I don’t think it’s relevant here, the JIT compiler can do the same optimizations here.

If the branch predictor can basically 100% guess correctly (which will be the case in any correct program), it should not have any additional cost, besides taking up place in i$, so I would assume that that is responsible for the difference.
I'm not sure about that particular dialect, if it's case or not, but it's a fact that some dialects do keep the dative (though it's been disappearing somewhat recently). In addition to certain country-wide expressions which have kept old case forms, like "gå mann av huse", and "i live" (being alive), though I've recently seen so-called "journalists" in newspapers being unable to understand it and writing "i livet" instead, which has a totally different meaning.
It's not incorrect as that was what was observed. It's a real-world use case.

Some artificial benchmarks doesn't automatically translate to "4x as fast as bash for many uses".

Things like "500k variable assignments per second" vs. "1.8M variable assignments per second" is an insignificant and unmeasurable difference for most real-world scripts because they have dozens, hundreds, or perhaps thousands of assignments. Not millions. For most scripts the majority of time is spent launching binaries and doing whatever that external binary is doing.
Proof? Hallucinated?
Oh man, I had this idea a long time ago when I was still commuting to work during sweltering hot summers in trams with no AC. Glad to see someone implemented it.

If you want to take it to the next level, use GIS information to account for building shadows and waiting times in stations and at traffic lights.

Brein Takes Down Virtual Pirate Streaming Worlds on VRChat
I can understand some perspectives of the Apple-defending crowd. Apple being the popular yet closed-end-to-end platform experience does kind of provide a level of balance in the industry that wouldn’t exist otherwise. I personally think it’s silly to look at Amazon or Google as an example of openness.

I think it’s also kinda weird to label Apple as a monopoly unless you mean a monopoly on revenues. They seem to actively swerve away from getting over 50% share of anything.
For every PID write up that reviews the theory we need an equally length follow up on the practical aspects of PID tuning and problem modelling.
> No, Joe the indie developer will happily use one of the most popular alternative app stores that fits their needs and doesn't rip them off with fees.

What would these be? Last time I checked, the "champion of the people" Epyc charges 12% and pushes the charges for some payment methods onto the buyer. And it seems like they still haven't turned profitable, even with their bare-bones store model.

Stripe (one of the most popular payment processors) will take 9% from a 5$ purchase just for payment processing. This doesn't include tax processing or any other stuff, all that you have to pay extra. A customer wants a refund? You are eating the cost.

I just don't understand how any of this stuff people are talking about is realistic. I am not aware of a single commercial payment processing solution that will end up under 12-15% for small charges, while offering much less value to both the developer and the user compared to App Store. And I don't understand why people expect that this solution will suddenly magically pop up if Apple allows alternative stores.
I'd counter with:

1. Despot rulers with the willingness and ability to pre-pay for 18+ years of care, feeding, education, etc. for an uncertain long-term outcome: Very unlikely.

2. Technology for somehow skipping all of that to pop out functional adults straight out of pods: Nowhere any time soon.

The first item reminds me of a fiction quote, although the story (in this case) doesn't involve cloning:

> “The Barrayarans are all so army-mad,” she explained. “I always like to put [the recovered bodies] back in their uniforms. They mean so much to them. I’m sure they’re more comfortable with them on.”

> Ferrell frowned uneasily. “I still think he ought to be dumped with the rest of the garbage.”

> “Not at all,” said the medtech. “Think of all the work he represents on somebody’s part. Nine months of pregnancy, childbirth, two years of diapering, and that’s just the beginning. Tens of thousands of meals, thousands of bedtime stories, years of school. Dozens of teachers. And all that military training, too. A lot of people went into making him.”

My Android phone camera can scan QR codes but it's horribly slow to start up and doe only shows a truncated URL, so you don't know where the link takes you.

The original implementation of credit cards was paper based. You made a carbon copy of the bank card and a signature taken. And the pin can be verified using the card alone.
It is nonsensical as thought experiments go; we're comparing two things that can't be compared. But just for fun - if we existed in a world with no medicine and the internet, we'd be able to rediscover modern medicine extremely quickly. We might reasonably expect to get further than the current state of the art, in fact, because the initial wild west phase wouldn't be encumbered by overzealous safety regulation and we'd learn more before the legislatures of the world start shutting it down (especially since the baseline would be so horrific, they'd probably have tougher stomachs for some broken eggs while making omelettes).

We ran the reverse (medicine then internet) and it took a long time to get to the internet.
This made sense earlier when the app store started, now with abundant bandwidth and reduced cost of hosting, and increase in number of developers/apps and other player/markets, they should reduce it to 5%. It is like how we treasured 5 mb internet on mobile devices, now we use that in a sec.
I have nothing against it really. But you know these people have signed up to work for a non profit org that specifically wrote it wouldn’t cater to the military.

It’s not like they wanted to work for Palantir or the NSA.

Plus had they signed for Palantir, they probably would have pushed for higher salaries. Corruptins one’s moral values to work on stuff that may be used for evil purposes has its price.
Really? How recent is this? I was pretty much under the impression that Apple was done with Epic, but I would be happy to be wrong here. If they can’t come to terms, they can’t come to terms, but it would be nice if they could.

Agreed.
Even better, dump that UEFI crap. Not even Rust can fix stupid.

> It's incredible that there are actually people in this thread arguing in favor of Apple

It's incredible to me that people arguing against apple here don't realise that they're arguing to allow another billion dollar company to do what they want, and that their own opinion is the only one that could possibly be valid

If you want an open ecosystem with alternative app stores, head on over to Android. The value of iOS to me is the app store and related ecosystem.
