Something not mentioned so far is whether creators of side loaded apps need to have the $99 dev membership, and therefore have to sign the Apple legal agreements.

If devs are still forced to sign the legal agreements, then Apple can use those agreements to demand ~30% of app cost regardless of the whose app store its in.
This just doesn't seem very POSH.
It's frustrating that all these are about risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease, and then generate these blanket statements like "stop wasting money".

Admitting that most people might not need supplementation that much, and that the industry is making money to make you pee fancy urine, Not everything is about preventing problems. Supplementation is also about having more energy and quality of life.
> It is not freeing people to do more useful jobs. It is just making them unemployed.

Only if the creation of jobs is slower than the displacement...
Which I agree it is, with this tech (and our slow response in gov, universities etc.). But sometimes (sounds callous but just pondering this small part of the equation), maybe jobs need to dry up in order to compel workers to move on? And this tech will open up other opportunities.

Else we are just all herders/farmers/hunter-gatherers indefinitely.

Regardless, it's quicker for me to scan my goods than for someone else to do it (and with half the people, since I've freed someone up). Same for most other people around me, from what I see (1/4 or 1/5 seem to need help or prefer talking to the cashier). It's a net win for society in the long run - And I think that employment changes are very liquid in this industry, so I am not as concerned as if it were a coal miner for example.

(My concern is more that supermarket workers probably correlate strongly with hand-to-mouth living, and governments should ensure there are appropriate retraining/growth paths. Which they don't, at least to my satisfaction. Which loops us back to us both pretty much being in agreement, I would guess)

I don't want us to handicap ourselves (tying our bionic arm behind our backs to artificially reduce productivity, in the name of keeping jobs)
I don't mean that it's particularly hard, but rather that it's using new interfaces which haven't been exposed yet, AFAIK. Scheduler itself + bpf is there from what I've seen, but likely other things too.
It's too early for cowboy mode. The LLM isn't reliable enough to let it run commands without approving them first.

As others noted, "try" could be used to make the commands testable, so I'll look into it this weekend.
How does this compare to shotcut, because most video editors are just unintuitive unless you know the layout of timeframes and the separate frame windows. Why cant we have a single film strip where we can trim and splice videos with ease.
Okay. That's it. I've f'n had it with search sucking. Reading these comments is just demoralizing. We don't have to live like this, and we won't.

Stay tuned here on HN.
This only makes it harder for open, non-profit models to compete with large corporations in making AI models. Examples: Adobe Firefly. Getty's AI. Probably Disney's internal AI. Are those acceptable, then? I'd say Stable Diffusion is more acceptable than any of them.

Information wants to be free, and you shouldn't need consent to reuse information. Furthermore, this isn't coercion -- I could just as easily make the case that artists are trying to use coercion (government power via copy-restriction laws) to impose restrictions on AI trainers.

I would say the better approach is to try and pirate the large models as much as possible -- using them to train smaller, open models, so we aren't forced to use commercial AI as much.
PixieFail: Nine Vulnerabilities UEFI Implementations
Not interested enough to check the veracity of those claims, but my grandfather somehow had 2/3rd or more of his wealth in non-public traded companies from different countries, and that part seems to be a pain to evaluate (it has been 5 years and my family is nowhere close, because at least 3 of them are wankers who want to avoid paying their fair share of taxes, and there seems to be contractual issues with disclosure). The wealth you see in Forbes or Fortune is only a part of the existing wealth.
In my experience vitamin-D supplementation does not help mitigate SAD. The specialized light-therapy devices can have a marginal effect. Direct natural sunlight does help a lott. Tanning beds work as well but those are not recommended for different reasons.
That country was not a "thriving liberal democracy". Unless you count nazi militias as democratic and liberal nowadays.

If it werent for the specific nationality the neonazis were shooting at, the water connected alliance would bomb them for being nazis instead.
"If you follow a healthy diet, you can get all of the vitamins and minerals you need from food" - How many people really follow a healthy diet?
Personally I have found my skin stays clearer when I’m taking daily multivitamins so that’s good enough for me. Maybe it’s the vitamin A.
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day, so they say.
I look at it like this. If someone is doing it you have to do it too, you cant run a competitive business if your competitor is taking 30%. It is not something you chose to do but you have to.

The most important angle is what this grows into. Apple doesn't have to make hardware. They can simply stop doing that and live on rent alone. Hardware is hard work. It might just be that they have to stop doing it.

How much they put the squeeze on who and who makes how much money isn't even important. This is not beneficial to the industry or to society.

After the age of working your ass off while starving comes the age of contributing and thriving, this period ends with the age of entitlement. You do the work, I enjoy the benefits. we can only afford so much of that before our civilization turns into a hell hole. You will be working day and night to make ends meet while I have all the time and resources in the world to figure out how I'm going to take just a little bit more from you.

It's not about wealth, people should be able to EARN whatever they EARN.

It isn't even about mortality, we can go back to the age of working your ass off while starving, we know how to do that. The bigger issue is to have people in control who cant tie their own shoes. It sets us up for total failure. It takes one small incident to end humanity.
Mid 2024 is the expected timeline
Ssshhh you’ll upset some AI doomer/acc nerd with a CS background but no concept of nonlinear scaling in engineering and infrastructure.
I've noticed that a lot of these tools are based on MLT framework. One thing I noticed when taking a glance at MLT framework is that it seems like it lacks robust end-to-end support for hardware acceleration. It makes me wonder if this is a broader design problem, or something that could be worked on with funding. Surely something like this is far from the top priority, but some of these open source video editors are getting kind of serious, and being able to scrub 4K timelines smoothly and render using GPU accelerated compositing and effects feels like it would put these editors much closer to real-world editing territory. That said, these are all just musings from someone who largely does not use NLEs and has written very little video software. Still, seeing the success that Blender has become makes me yearn to see their success repeat in more fields...
I’ll bite.

It’s that way because software is much much much more complex than that.

Building is a good example. One architect after university has enough knowledge and mental capability to design a building that won’t topple: There are discrete number of parameters to work on and fallible elements are identified and understood very well. There’s manageable amount of degrees of freedom that architect is working with. It’s also not very common for physics to get an annual update.

But when you go to funny-cat-pictures.com there are layers upon layers of complexity. There’s TCP, UDP, traffic encryption, indefinite number of hoops in routing, indefinite number of electronic devices with various quality, etc. Request comes happens from millions lines of code operating system and generation happens on a different millions lines of code of operating system with thousands of lines of codes of software code that interacts with databases, proxies, CDNs, load balancers and is templating, serving, translating, transpiling, compiling and serving while defending against adverse attacks, managing the cache, optimizing for network topology and requester rendering software. That changes every single day slightly.

In 99% the worst case is - your picture won’t load. But when you get to the more serious software development (in a way that it’s critical domain, not that “serve cat pictures” isn’t serious job, mind you) all of it is very very visible.

Every element is so unimaginably complex that it has literal tomes of knowledge written and published about it. Describing every element of transaction between end user and cat serving website would take hundreds of pages - and it would be different than other cat website.

Most of the building, bridges etc. was made either by one person or small group of people working on it.

Rarely software is written seldom, and many well known products have tens of thousands of inconceivable smart engineers and we still can make fun of their - not so rare - failures.

So yeah. Systems suck, organizations suck, people suck. But they suck in relatively safe but also complex environment.

For years software engineering was made fun of because it’s not real engineering. But when you look close enough the environment is orders of magnitude more difficult. Civil engineers might be offended but they can’t hold a candle to structures software is keeping straight.

Software is a bridge built on a raft, floating on an ocean, which tries to get shot down by armed pirates and semi-controlled by a cost-saving manager trying to look good in annual progress report.
Right if everybody's range is reduced (due to cold) and charging takes longer (to warm up the battery, if it wasn't warmed before arriving, which could either be user error or due to a car that was parked nearby outdoors before being taken to the charger), then the effective capacity of the chargers is reduced by a large factor and quite possibly people are running out of battery waiting for a spot. I suspect a large fraction are Uber drivers who may not have a spot available ti charge at home.
The Enemy Gate Is Down.
It makes for good science fiction. But the footprint of the spot on the receiving end would be such that most of the energy would be lost. Even at an opening angle of only 10 degrees (which would be pretty good) from LEO you'd be looking at a 50 km spot size.
I suggest a book called "How Not to Die" by Michael Greger. Given you don't seem to be the vegetable eating type, you're increasing your likelihood of all cause mortality.
> This was architected by the head of the telephone bureau in 1949, as an error reduction mechanism

I find it fascinating that the telephone bureau was powerful enough to initiate such language change. Imagine happening this today.

But this reminds me of the fact that in Czech we have both counting systems as well. The forward (english) counting is the standard, but the backward (german) is quite commonly used informally as well (it also has a certain poetic quality).

Learning German was for me a revelation of how much influence German had on the Czech language. There are of course loanwords (mostly in the dying dialects), but there's also a less obvious structural influence.

My favorite demonstration of this is the verb "vorstellen" - it has several meanings (physically put sth. forward, introduce, present, imagine). It turns out Czech has a fully native word (not a loanword) "představit" with an identical set of meanings and identical structure - "vor" is "před", "stellen" is "stavit". There are many words like that, and the counting system is likely another such "structural" influence.

I'm fully convinced that German is easier to learn for Czech speakers as opposed to English speakers, even though it's across language families. It's a language continuum after all ...
The Mating Psychology of Incels – The Journal of Sex Research
Take a look at what you can find about Google’s Project Nimbus. It’s my understanding from public info that this system is active in Israel today, and from day one of the war was doing multimodal analysis of the content posted online by Hamas to locate the hostages in some automated fashion.
The github link for shotcut is just on the downloads page. I don't find that particularly egregious?
It depends. For great looking pics that you need to get out quickly MJ does a great job. Especially with its image + text feature. Dalle is also an interesting choice.

SDXL and controlnet is odd a lot of the time. 1.5 + controlnet still seem to give quicker and better results.

Basically SD atleast seems to be for when you want unique content. MJ/Dalle for everything else.
I didn't understand the quotes to say a multivitamin pill was completely worthless for my purpose (i.e., covering a potential nutritional deficit).
Don’t you have to have the blinds up for take off and landing? You definitely do in Europe.
> Russia could certainly cause severe economic damage and kill many people, sure. But find me one credible expert who, given what we know now, supports your "hundreds of millions" claim.

Since mid-2023, everyone from think-tanks like the German Council on Foreign Relations to chiefs of defense of Europe have been ringing an alarm bell over Putin's ambitions beyond Ukraine. The population of Germany and Poland alone pushes the number of people directly at risk of Russian aggression over 100 million.

> Which is why the EU has been making increasingly strident criticisms of the way the Baltic states treat their Russian minorities

They haven't. The sob story about Russians being mistreated everywhere was a smear campaign to sabotage the entry of Eastern European countries into the EU. Its heyday was around the end of accession negotiations in early 2000s. As of 2024, nobody takes that seriously anymore. Russians too have recognized ineffectiveness of that narrative and have stopped pushing it.

> Depends whose "global" rankings they are.

Indeed. Only a severely brainwashed person would put Russia anywhere near Finland or Sweden when it comes to human rights. You can reply with shallow rhetorical arguments, but there's as much to discuss here as with the Flat Earth crowd. It's not a good faith discussion beyond this point.
An Exploratory Trip of Templ, Htmx, and Go
ergo is there any benefit to anything?
This is true. But Waymo is dealing with the same kind of challenges and it seems that they are already at a point, where their technology (enabled, among other things, by collecting tons of data) is useful.

I expect Robotics (in particular, solving manipulation) to follow the same route: super expensive R&D, multiple false starts, but eventually (tons of data => breakthrough to get smarter robots).
Apple wrote their kernel from zero?
Confusingly, Danish counting is also a mix of old norse counting systems (based on tens) and medieval ones (based on twenty) for maximum chaos. For instance the word for 40, fyrretyve (sounds like four-twenty), is derived from old norse fyritiughu, "four tens". It sounds like it SHOULD mean 80! But 80 is firs, or firsindstyve - four twenties.
It's symbiotic because Apple needs apps to sell iPhones in the first place.

And developers need a solid platform with users willing to pay money. I feel like you have the wrong answer to the chicken and egg problem. The first iPhone was a marvel to pretty much everyone, and blew everything else at the time out of the water. I don't recall much sentiment of people being disappointed about the lack of apps, because there was no reason to expect that at that point. Just being able to use a lot of the web like you would on a computer was a massive leap from a RAZR or whatever.

This is not to defend the 30% tax or anything, but I don't think it does any good to downplay the value they've built. The elephant in the room with your argument is that, if it were true, app developers would simply flock to Android and Apple would be forced to course-correct.
I am about as anti-piracy as it gets, but I'll make an exception for Ubisoft as a treat

This is not particularly unusual for royalty licensing scenarios. As a matter of fact Epic's Unreal Engine EULA has a similar clause:

You agree to keep accurate books and records related to your development, manufacture, Distribution, and sale of Royalty Products and related revenue. Epic may conduct reasonable audits of those books and records. Audits will be conducted during business hours on reasonable prior notice to you. Epic will bear the costs of audits unless the results show a shortfall in payments in excess of 5% during the period audited, in which case you will be responsible for the cost of the audit.

The rise of essay writing services reflects, to a certain extent, issues within the educational system. Often, students who misuse these services are facing excessive academic pressures and heavy workloads. The methods of assessment and examination within the educational system need to be reevaluated in terms of their suitability for individual students' needs and requirements. The existence of the essay writing phenomenon calls for a thorough examination and reform of teaching methods and the academic environment.
It opens the command in nano/vim in the terminal and lets you edit it. Saving executes the final version.

Currently, the user has to be experienced enough to know if a command is safe to be executed. However, you are right, and I'll look into adding a safety feature that signifies if a command is potentially dangerous.
> Don't whine and cry that you didn't get paid after you decided that getting paid was evil or whatever.

Software and source code comes with the most complex licenses and terms of use, but an artist isn’t allowed to make a small request that others don’t profit of her work without people on a software forum saying that is whining and crying…

There's a point where the phone becomes similar to infrastructure, and allowing a single market actor to charge 30% tax on anyone using the roads, for any business conducted where someone took a road to get there, is ridiculous.

I'm not saying the App Store is infrastructure-like. But the market share of Apple is so large, and it's quasi-impossible to conduct consumer business without being required to have a native app... that it's starting to be infrastructure-like.

Can a viable B2C online business exist without being present via a native app? It seems untenable due to consumer expectations. Consumers also expect to be able to drive to coffeeshops, yet road providers don't charge 30% taxes on coffeeshop revenues.
> I haven't seriously used Python in a long time, but from occasionally glancing at release notes, they seem to regularly deprecate things.

The meaning of deprecation changed a bit. Before 3.6 or so things were deprecated, but just left in and maybe eventually removed when they broke for good, which would rarely happen. Nowadays deprecation means it will actually be removed after two releases (years), and a lot of stuff was deprecated basically just because it was old. I don't think that's an amazing signal to send, honestly.

As I wrote a year ago the range of new digital nomad visas are largely poor attempts at attracting more tourism dollars.

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/digital-nomad-visa-dilemma-ma...

Most digital nomads still don't use them as other Commenters have outlined, they are cumbersome, expensive & don't address the taxation elements well.

Digital Nomad entrepreneurs can often work under standard 'tourist' visas in any case if they stick to the 'business' rules attached to those visas in any case.

While Permanent Establishment rules scare many employers off permitting much remote work for their employees.

With competition between countries to attract tourism the current version 1 DN visas will need to change to become attractors.

I'd suggest removing the 30/90 limit from tourism visas is an easy way to improve tourism economics.

Changing taxation policies will take longer but are also needed as the remote worker world grows so strongly & favour 'tax friendly' nations.
It basically just looked at them. It’s absolutely preposterous that you can own a painting, thereby claiming nobody is allowed to draw that anymore, and now people can’t even look at your shitty drawing without paying? Then don’t put it online in the first place..

Seriously the audacity of these so called artists.. just because I sang a song one day does not mean I am entitled to own it and force people to pay me to be allowed to sing it. That’s absolutely insane.
[No answer]. Then what?

Permission isn't the end-all-be-all. I don't ask for your permission to exist or walk down the street, for example. You could try to make the case that people need to ask for permission first, on a balanced-harms argument, but it's not self-evident to be true.

> . All that being said, it’s also surprising how relatively expensive reading time is.

Typically you don't need granularity as fine as you think you do. Reading time at the finest granularity available is going to kill your throughput/latency no matter what because you are probing the hardware, so make sure you need that very fine granularity.

IME, most (99.999%) of the case you need the time, you can get by with coarse granularity. I worked on realtime systems to control a jig in a factory, using embedded 486-class processors, with hard-realtime kernel patches, and even then I had no need to use the non-coarse timers when recording events for observability.

In any case, here's the relative costs of the different timers: https://www.lelanthran.com/chap5/content.html
No, but I believe that whatever you're doing resembles what is done in scrum. Gather information, discuss with your colleagues, create a plan. Scrum enforces that colleagues talk to each other, which I learned is not always the case.
I'd take medicine over the internet. That would get us to at least a 1970s/1980s world.

Having zero medicine but the internet would be a very very different world, with people dying left and right from infections, broken bones would not be set crippling quite a few, accidents would be a lot more fatal (also because there would be no understanding of effects and causes of injuries), no wounds would ever be treated, etc etc. It would be a truly bizarre world where humans wouldn't care one bit about damage to and problems with their bodies (but would have highly optimized advertising systems).
So where can I vote out apple if I am unhappy with the 30%?

Not everything you pay money for is comparable to taxes.
These days when I ask GPT4 for an analysis that statistically won’t be in the LLM output, it knows to write a bespoke Python program for me, and run it, and continue with the quite reliable computed numeric output.

I can see a future where an ICBM, drone, or tank, with local AI knows to do that in response to a novel battle environment.
