The very moment I found out that Ubisoft wasn't bringing a game to any other platform but their own, I immediately thought:

"Welp, I guess I don't need to play that game until it makes it to Steam, GOG, etc..." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Even with these other platforms, we don't truly "own" the games either. As proven with video platforms, content licensers can revoke the license at anytime, and poof there goes your ownership of that digital asset.

I care about open source as a developer.

As a user I want the most polished program available and am not against using closed source if it meets my needs as is and I don't need to modify it beyond it's supported options.
What a weird comparison. The Switch released 3 or 4 years before the PS5. It's not surprising at all that it has outsold it.
There's a "bug" in older Accords that when voltage is low [like starting on a low battery] the camshaft position sensor sends ECU into limp mode that sometimes can only be cleared with dealer scanner (or or the Chinese knock off that you have to buy manufacturer specific profile.)

Limp mode is one thing, disabling ABS just because no battery, even if alternator is putting out current, seems like a design flaw.

Does it? Now I wonder what Alemannic (Swiss-German, maybe especially the heavier dialects like Bernese and Walliserdeutsch) sound to you, because to my Bernese ears, Dutch sounds a lot closer to my own language than pretty much all other germanic languages.
Interesting that the transformer used is tiny. From the paper:

"We use the Meliad library for transformer training with its base settings. The transformer has 12 layers, embedding dimension of 1,024, eight heads of attention and an inter-attention dense layer of dimension 4,096 with ReLU activation. Overall, the transformer has 151 million parameters, excluding embedding layers at its input and output heads. Our customized tokenizer is trained with ‘word’ mode using SentencePiece and has a vocabulary size of 757. We limit the maximum context length to 1,024 tokens and use T5-style relative position embedding. Sequence packing is also used because more than 90% of our sequences are under 200 in length."
In case anybody from Notion is reading here: I'm very frustrated by being logged out on all my Apple devices (MacBook, iPhone, iPad) every few weeks to months.

By itself this would be only annoying, but on top of the spurious logout, none of the Notion apps support Keychain access. Thus when having to log in (with my email and password combination), I need to hunt for those in the password list and copy/paste them, which takes quite a bit of time doing that on each device.

Google searches tell me that I'm far from alone in experiencing it and that the problem seems to exist for several years.
Sorry this is going to be slightly tangential to the primary topic of this post. But does anyone work on backends that heavily utilize a serverless platform? To be more specific, backend (micro)services that embrace serverless fully (for example AWS Lambda, Dynamodb, StepFunctions, etc) and minimal usage of any ec2/container based deployments in the architecture? And to be clear, I'm not talking about some small bot or single internal app running on a serverless platform, rather an entire complex core business product or service that embraces serverless architecture -- think Amazon Prime previously using AWS Lambda type stuff.

I'd love to know people's (objective if possible) thoughts, experiences and opinions on such an approach.

Maybe you can look at a peer reviewed study and conclude that their methodology was sound and that their sample size justified their p-value every single time, but for the rest of us we generally have to trust what we read or the experts that we pay for their assessments.

There's a reason why rhetoric is divided into 3 parts - assuming that you can just bombard people with logos and win them over is intellectually lazy.

People are not one fact-checking article away from changing their minds on most subjects - so if you actually want to change people's minds on a topic and not just score points in a debate, you need to approach them on their terms.
I agree with you here and that's why I'm mildly surprised they haven't come up with a solution rolled into iCloud yet. Syncing apps and preferences shouldn't be that difficult, but unless they're App Store applications the binaries would take up a lot of space. Most of the apps I care about are from outside of the App Store. AFAIK our iOS backups don't actually back up application binaries.

The way I was looking at it is that Apple has successfully sold iCloud+ 2TB plans to a lot of people who don't need much more than 200GB. If everyone on the 2TB plan used even close to 2TB, I'd bet they'd have to charge me a lot more to make up the provisioning and usage costs of storage.
Perhaps you could have a little button to programmatically insert capital letters?
Are we really going to pretend that America's "sworn enemies" can't get behind a $150 paywall for article access? This effectively only keeps poor people out and severely limits access for the struggling middle class scientists/hobbyists/students (including grad students and adjuncts) who lack institutional access.

Generally speaking, science (and particularly publicly funded science) is an internationally collaborative process. Anything that would be of material harm in the hands of a rival government should either be classified or kept well protected within the bowels of private industry.

Is there any reason the believe that science publisher's gatekeeping has ever been a significant roadblock to nation-states that are already capable of industrial espionage and intelligence activity?
I don't think this is the main contention. It's about what people are fundamentally capable of achieving absent EQ and other factors and taking into account only IQ.

I am simply more optimistic.
How We Built Devbox's Nix Package-Version Search
Sorry I’m not actually familiar with light phone, so I’ve had a look, and it is something sold that anyone can buy.

They’re trying to build something which people need to find at least a bit palatable. A phone without the ability to play music and podcasts would have very little chance of selling for $300, they’d be up against those senior-oriented big button phones which sell for incredibly cheap.

Edit: I’m also not seeing anyone say that their school allows only light phone
Seems to me the range of what a credit card charges would seem sensible. I.e. 3-7%.

Alternatively charge 30% but be forced to allow side-installing Apps.
That way developers can decide if they want the convenience and reach of the AppStore or not.
Ha, it was working fine moments before I posted the comment, times out for me now too. Try revisiting later on, it definitely works great. From what I remember it was essentially created as a "fuck you" to Peter Kleissner, the creator of https://intelx.io/, who charges exorbitant prices to search breaches.
> The person using the AI doesn't matter in the equation. They aren't an artist, they're a monkey with a typewriter.

That's an opinion.

Isn't this a significantly bigger issue because of how much these various studies are used to drive public policy that affects everyone?
I have statistical models that can predict if a headline will get > 10 votes or if a headline that gets > 10 votes will get a comments/votes ratio > 0.5. (We can’t think of a better headline than “Richard Stallman is dead”)

Both of those are treated as probability calibrated classifiers because of the extreme variations in outcomes. You might post something one day and get 0 upvotes, another day somebody might post it and get 500. Not that many people read the “new” page so it is really iffy if you get your first few votes.

In principle you could get more information out of the data treating it as a regression problem (e.g. give more points for predicting that an article gets 500 votes as opposed to 50) but one model I made never predicted that anything gets more than 16.7 votes which means the error function is going to always look awful and not really be a good tool for improving the model. The logit models I”m using, however, give realistic scores in the face of uncertainty.

I wonder to what extent this is for Americans, whose bread and cereals are so loaded that they're effectively multivitamins anyway.

I live in Norway and just realized that they don't put iodine in their salt. (Actually a lot of minerals I would have normally gotten from enriched bread back home may or may not be added here). Locals eat a lot of white fish and get their iodine that way. But I don't and have started supplementing just in case.
Almost every sexual possibility currently found kinky or wrong by some group, is or has previously been found reasonable, and often required in some circumstances, by some other group.

This is a lot of words to justify classifying the atypical as "sick", when the context is sensual. Not that there's anything new about that.

I bet this person could spout a sermon about "diversity" and how valuable it is without ever engaging its brain and realizing that they've preached the opposite here. The sermon may be less harsh than others, but its "let's just jail the deviants instead of killing them," difference of degree, not direction.
Honestly: some movies are better that way.

I realized during a pre-Endgame re-watch that I liked a lot of the marvel movies better at home than I had in the theater, and after some reflection figured out that it’s because when I get really bored in the middle of one of their not-very-good 20-minute fight scenes, or awkward too-long exposition, I can just screw around on my phone.

On further reflection it occurred to me that this kinda replicates the experience of watching a mediocre movie with a close friend group and just talking over a bunch of it. Lots of movies are better when half-ignored!

Of course, there are plenty of movies where you’ll have trouble following them or miss cool, interesting, very-good, or important elements if you don’t give them your full attention. But I do think there may be a case for phone-in-hand film-watching. Some might argue that you should just skip any movie that gets better if you partially-ignore it, but I’m not on that boat.
Wait until OP discovers smoot.apple.com ... which literally sends every single Spotlight keystroke back to Apple.

Correct, my point absolutely doesn't apply to someone who is just doing their thing, even maybe 2 orders of magnitude more stuff than their thing.

But when your local IT goon says its going to be 8 months to procure the next set of hard drives for your next order of magnitude, it's a real problem and you have real money to invest in solving it, just not owning a data center money.

Willow solves the biggest problem I have always had with IPFS: it’s content addressable, which is nice for specific things but not generic enough to make the protocol actually practical and usable in the real world outside of specific use cases. (Namely you can’t update resources or even track related updates to resources.)

(Mathematically, a name-addressable system is actually a superset of content-addressable systems as you can always use the hash of the content as the name itself.)
That's also useful as it might lead to clues to identifying a potentially compromised machine

runs forever

No, it won't.

It will run so long as the microbes have sufficient food to live. Once that food is gone, the microbes die, and the energy production stops. To 'run forever' the microbes need to have continuous replenishing of the soil, just like any other soil-dwelling organism.
The problem is this doesn't scale.

I see no mention of whether they adjusted for age and urban vs rural settings. Dense metropolitan cores, where most economic activity happens, tend to be both younger and highly diverse ethnically as the jobs there attract migrant flows. It is unsurprising that younger people in dense metropolitan "the fewer people vote and the less they volunteer, the less they give to charity and work on community projects". That's what retired people do.

And to be completely transparent about where I'm coming from: I'm the father of two mixed-race children and all this talk of "homogeneous societies" reeks to me of plain old racism that will hurt my kids. And I grew up in one of those European "homogeneous" countries that right-leaning racists love to talk about, too.
Wondering whether some combination of rfid, volume mapping, to map (learn) an apartment/home could help bridge the gap, on home automation. Could the stove, washers, driers, furniture... 'help' ? I guess it's been tried to death but I lack a good view of SOTA on home automation and robotics.

>I want a device to run software

Without an app platform there would exist no software.

>I have a macbook and barely use the apple store.

The app platform is more than just the store. If you can install an app without the apple store, that app has to be able to run and actually do stuff somehow. The way it is able to run is the app platform.

>If they prevent me from running any software apart from through their platform

If you do not want to run software using Apple's hardware and Apple's software then Apple is effectively out of the picture. Apple won't prevent you from running apps on a different app platform like Android.
I think if what youre selling is just app based content apple could sue and force an audit. Like if the product is just a subscription to the mobile app they could claim that all revenue received from that is subject to the fee. But if youre selling a more general subscription that can be used on different platforms I think this would work.

And I don't care. They can rot. Really.

But if they drag everyone else down with them... god help us all. Can they? Could they, for instance, destablize the stock market, or cause a cascade of bank runs? Is it a matter of choice on their part, or will they also be helpless to stop this supposing they even want to stop it?

This is absolutely not the case. The worst case scenario for ICEs (cold starts, intermittent short trips so the engine block doesn't get heat) is 15%.

The average for EV in subfreezing is about 24% loss. And up to 39% when you're on longer trips and heating the cabin for extended periods.

My point is that I'm sure the only way iCloud is profitable or even break-even for Apple is if they rely on over-provisioning storage to users of the more paid plans. I started paying for the 200GB iCloud+ plan, and once my photos exceeded 200GB I ponied up for the 2TB plan. Unless I take up a photography hobby it'll be a long time until I get close to that 2TB, and I'd wager this is what Apple expects. Raising that baseline usage with Time Machine backups would mean it would need to be more expensive for end users, either by making iCloud+ more expensive or rolling out a new subscription product.
Valid point. You can store twice as many boards in the same space.

Externally rechargable AAs are great. I don't have to have specific charging stations for everything, and when a battery does wear out, it's easy to replace.

I haven't been super happy with the rechargable AAAs I've used, so I might prefer specific batteries for smaller items. But most video game controllers or presentation remotes or wireless keyboard and mouse have plenty of room for one or two AAs
> What's incredible is how people waste their tiny amount of personal energy defending their exploitation by a corporation that has vastly more resources than them and objectively does not need their help.

Nobody here is trying to help Apple by posting on HN. They're just discussing their viewpoints on how Apple operates and its policies around taking commission on purchases. That's what this entire message board is about - talking about tech and the like.

If they're wasting their time by posting in defense of Apple, you're doing the exact same thing with your response - neither is going to have any actual impact on the world, so either posting is a waste of energy or it's not. There's no valid argument that posting in defense of Apple is a waste of energy but posting attacks on Apple is a useful and productive thing to do.
