COSP and USP: New methods to advance reasoning in LLMs
Why are there not a bunch of cheap no-name printers from overseas companies happy to just make the sale without the subscription? Are they really hard to make? Is there not the right ecosystem of components? Is there somehow more enforceable IP around printers than around other consumer electronics?

It's weird to me that I can get a cheap smart watch/drone/noise cancelling heaphones/android phone or tablet/compact projector from companies I've never heard of, and who aren't trying to get me on a monthly subscription -- but not a printer.
Hey, Zed developer here. Indeed we do not bundle the LSP binaries into the final binary for the reasons you've stated; and I do agree that the binary is kind of big, though at present .dmg compression gets us a long way (as the .dmg itself is ~115Mb).
Right now we ship an universal binary, so half of that size is essentially unused:

size /Applications/Zed.app/Contents/MacOS/zed
__TEXT __DATA __OBJC others dec hex
120979456 475136 0 4336828416 4458283008 109bc0000 zed (for
architecture x86_64)
117587968 458752 0 4336680960 4454727680 10985c000 zed (for
architecture arm64)

Then, each of these binaries includes about 40MB of assets. I've actually had a PR up (https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/3997) that reduced their size quite significantly, though that did not end up reducing the size of a .dmg itself, so I've scraped that.
On top of that, we ship with debug symbols for symbolication of crashes (https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/Cargo.toml#L...).

Show HN: Object-Oriented HTML – Proposal for new powerful features in HTML
Hey all,

I'm a big fan of the HTML-first + Progressive Enhancement approach to UI development!

For a background:

1. I like to be able to write HTML by default and progressively add JavaScript (and, in the same way, progressively involve tooling) instead of go ahead of the problem by going the other way around!

2. Also turns out that UIs are more resilient when built on the same principles:

- given how browsers process web pages: HTML initially, then JavaScript eventually; with the bulk of the page being best done at the initial phase

- and given how, on a more general note, performance is a function of browsers doing the heavy lifting

But it turns out that as compelling as it is to move more to HTML, there isn't as much you can do in HTML as you'd like to! In my experience, four specific limitations have felt like a deal breaker:

1: How do you do reactivity?

2: How do you nake components?

3: How do you re-Use components?

4: How do you pass data/props?

I've since committed to exploring the answers to those questions, and my life's work here is what I propose as Object-Oriented HTML - a set of HTML/DOM-level features that let us write dynamic and object-oriented markup! (Full explainer is here: https://dev.to/oxharris/revisiting-the-html-problem-space-an...)

I am hoping that this moves us forward on the HTML-first + Progressive Enhancement paradigm! But as with everything on the web, it's all about your thoughts!!!
How can the OS tell the difference between downloading JavaScript and JITing it vs downloading compiled code and running it?
There's a long runway from "early market" to "total domination" to make money for investors. Nobody is shutting down the ability of limited or emerging markets to extract value, but once you reach Apple's size it's an entirely different story.
Because by and large they’ve spent the last decade building features that have allowed me to preserve my privacy from companies who’ve spent the last decade trying to pry into my personal life.
The relationships aren't artificial in feeling but artificial in construction - took generations/decades of postwar political purging in US influenced countries to cultivate local compradors to develop good people to people relations over time. But alliances between countries are still political arrangement are ultimate subject to domestic geopolitical interests and whims. Peoples in democracies still have very little control of their foreign policy. The other consideration we don't speak is you can absolutely massacre a people and still have their kids love you with enough elite capture and control over culture. That's also the story of modern PRC, you can slap the shit out one generation and mold their grandkids into patriotism. Or the story with US/JP, except with atom bombs. Regardless alliances will last, until they're tested. Then they can break or get stronger. I would not be surprised if they break if tested violently enough. That's usually how these things go. Remember Canada was originally a British possession designed to contain America. Then US got kicked out of North America and Canada, a fundmentally anti American project, are very friendly with US, and even the most antiAmerican politician in Canada won't seriously consider moves that would undermine US interests.
EU targets online influencers' growing power
I am not familiar with the already enacted national French law, but I think transparency of commercial, political, and other ties would be more important and easier to regulate than the content itself. And hopefully they've noticed the rise of AI influencers, digital humans, or whatever you want to call them?
From the responses I see in social media, people hate it.

I don't understand how younger people demand obese models. Is it a "loud pc minority" making that demand?

It's totally against the natural instinct and mating attractiveness of fit vs unfit. Especially teenagers who tend to be fitter than adults.
Right, we’re heading to a world where everything is “perfect”.

The first study in particular confirms some of my personal anecdata, i.e. that perceived intelligence is largely a matter of upbringing.
>are not part of the source code, and therefore the GPL isn't concerned with them.

IIRC the GPL concerns itself with buildscripts etc. and GPLv3 was written with the tivoization of v2 in mind.

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.html

>Protecting Your Right to Tinker

>Tivoization is a dangerous attempt to curtail users' freedom: the right to modify your software will become meaningless if none of your computers let you do it. GPLv3 stops tivoization by requiring the distributor to provide you with whatever information or data is necessary to install modified software on the device. This may be as simple as a set of instructions, or it may include special data such as cryptographic keys or information about how to bypass an integrity check in the hardware. It will depend on how the hardware was designed—but no matter what information you need, you must be able to get it.

>This requirement is limited in scope. Distributors are still allowed to use cryptographic keys for any purpose, and they'll only be required to disclose a key if you need it to modify GPLed software on the device they gave you.
That is so cool. I’d call mine the Very Small Array.

I was always under the impression that it’s super hard to pull off interferometery due to precise positioning and timing requirements, but looks like the Kraken multi-antenna you linked has that figured out in a simple way.
As somebody who lost a dear friend from hpv associated cervical cancer, this is such good news.
You can set a context as broad as you want, but it changes utility.

You can set a definition and context so broad that everything and anything is intelligent.

Previously you only had to pay the yearly $99 for the developer account, and then could publish free apps to your heart’s content (subject to Apple’s app review process, of course).
I'm like 24 minutes into it and liking it; no idea if this is bad or good.

Tangentially, anyone noticed the huge number of errors in writings and signs on the accompanying AI generated images?
HTTPS is irrelevant here. You can send incorrect headers in either.
Have a look at the online playground: https://prql-lang.org/playground/

It starts you off with a very well documented example. Try commenting out one of the lines and watch how the SQL on the RHS changes.

Each line is a separate transformation and follows a logical flow from top to bottom. IMHO it combines the best of SQL and pipelined DSLs like dplyr, LINQ, Kusto, to name just a few. An advantage over things like Pandas is that it still generates SQL so you can take your compute to where your data is (Cloud DWH) and benefit from query optimisation whereas Pandas has to download all your data first and then follows an eager execution model which doesn't benefit from query optimisation. Polars fixes a lot of data but still has the data transfer probleam and it is not universal whereas PRQL can compile to different dialects of SQL like DuckDB, Postgres, BigQuery, MS SQL Server, ...

I'm just pointing out that there's a third option of staying in the App Store and paying 17/10 instead of 30/15, but it also requires the Core Tax.

Only having to deal with Apple's BS is likely better than being at the whims of all the dominant players. The latter creates a race to the bottom with no hope of improving the ecosystem.

I think that's the main reason iOS is slowly eating Android's global market share, and why it remains the market leader in the US. As bad as iOS is for privacy and respecting user choice, Android is worse in practice. There's an argument that Android's openness benefits the end user, but it falls apart in practice: almost all third party apps (and certainly the ones that other people force you to use) depend on Play Services, which is a giant pile of surveillance capitalism and battery drain.

Having said that, I'd like to be able to toggle my iPhone into EU mode and sideload a few things.
I had the same feeling, and was very surprised. It’s like a child being told there are rules ( I’m not saying whether the rules are good or not ).
I think one of the fancier hotels I was staying in, in China during my last trip had a fancy toilet with heated seat, bidet, and bowl air extraction fan. (Fancy hotels in China are geared to the tastes of party officials, which is why they often outdo the fanciest hotels in the US. Often for about 1/10th the price!)
> alternative is PRISM stuff

There is country based on "free speach" [0] and then there is EU.

That would be crazy if it were true. The only thing that is enforced on Mac is a scary pop up window.
I think this point is going to be the biggest sticking point to EU regulators. Third party app stores not being able to reasonably distribute free apps is a massive competitive disadvantage.
Seems like they will yeah

> Unlike App Store review, notarization will not enforce quality or content standards.

But the publishers of those emulators will need quite a bit of money to keep up with the Apple Core Technology fee
I don't see anything wrong with what they are doing in your case, no money no service.
can't it is looked, should have put more thought before typing, others already pointed out what I intended to say.
I don't understand, with this core technology fee I can't sell a game that is finished, only a service as it would otherwise have a possibility of it generating a continuous fee when selling it through the app store.
That's why I love js ecosystem. If something is implemented in language itself, runtime or standard library, it will never meaningfully develop.
This is one of the many reasons that "parental rights" people are dead wrong. People as young as 12 should have the absolute right to seek and get, in confidence, this vaccine and other health care. Nobody should give any weight to whether their parents want them to not have this vaccine.

Is it just me or is the new embeddings model (v3 small) insanely cheap? It's coming out to be ~$0.02/mil tokens (if I'm mathing right), whereas other "embeddings API" services are typically charging at around $0.1/mil tokens
> offer up more shares to a market without changing demand

But demand does change, because the company is expanding its balance sheet. You end up with more slices of a bigger pie.

Compare to a stock split, which keeps the pie size constant.
Does this only apply to inkjet printers? I have noticed a number of firmware updates to my Brother black & white laser printer in the past year. I figured that those had to do with the integrated Internet services.

I recently bought a genuine Brother replacement toner cartridge, but that was locked out from my printer because the model number was off by one character or something. $65 lost, oops. There appears to be just a plastic tab on the cartridge keying it to the other model. I am not sure that I want to attempt pouring the toner into a compatible cartridge that I already have.
They are correct that there are new risks but there would also be new benefits for consumers. Apple has done a very good job of mitigating the risks and the benefits to their advantage.
I think it's not really relevant for your home toilet, but once you start thinking about public toilets in high traffic areas and/or high points of contact between different population groups like airports, doctor's offices, hospitals, malls, etc., I don't know why it wouldn't be worth investigating this and the potential risks.
Hi, Till here, worked on the DuckDB-NSQL model on MotherDuck side.

1. definitely training data (for me), we explored about 10 different directions before settling on the current approach. It's easy to underestimate the effect of training data on the quality of the model. Starting point was the benchmark dataset though, which we assembled manually (to avoid data pollution and also because there was simply no text2sql benchmark that covers anything else than plain old SQL select statements with a handful of aggregate functions). And training is also not a one-off thing. With large datasets it is hard to evaluate the quality of the dataset without actually training a few epochs on it and run the benchmark.

2. I left a comment about my view on where such models are effective in a previous commment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39133155

3. No way - I see a common stack emerging (take a look at companies like https://vanna.ai/, https://www.dataherald.com/, or https://www.waii.ai) that is mainly centered around foundation models like GPT-4 with strong in-context learning capabilities (that's a kind of a must to make these approaches work and comes with long inference times and higher costs). These solutions include things like embedding-based schema filtering, options for users to enrich metadata about tables and columns, including previous related queries into the context etc. around the model. I'd say it's a bit of a different problem from what we aimed at solving.
I’d like to have that tea set...
They're probably referring to this part of the GPLv3 license:

> “Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made.

> If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).

I believe the MSFT lawyers are right here, but obviously I'm not a lawyer.
ImageWriter II fam unite!
Or auto-reject.
Was that the wife of Marcus "jazz-hands" Bachman ?
just want to point out that 1 "update" is also considered 1 "first annual install". So essentially you need to pay for previous acquired members/installs. Like for facebook, assuming they have a force update this year, then they need to pay for every iOS install even if it occurred before.
It depends on what we are defining as options.

Right now, you can choose between getting Facebook from Apple's App Store, where Facebook has to comply with fairly strict privacy rules to remain available. Or, you can use Facebook on a non-Apple platform where no such rules exist (browser, Google Play). This choice exists because the App Store is the only way for Facebook to practically deliver its product to iPhone users.

If Apple is forced to allow third-party stores, then yes, users have more choices on where to get their apps. But it would allow Facebook to take their app off the iOS App Store and put it somewhere without Apple's stricter privacy rules, taking away the users option to choose a version that doesn't have things like cross-app behavior tracking.

I view it very much as a "pick your poison" scenario, where Apple is merely the lesser of two evils. I would much rather live in a world where government regulation renders Facebook's shitty business practices obsolete, then Apple wouldn't be able to use basic rights like privacy as a product differentiator.

Not letting an extremist party with 20% or unfortunately even a tad more into power is not sabotaging the popular vote? Each party is free to form a coalition or not, by their conditions and principals.
The party has clearly shown and expressed that its anti-democratic. I mean, come on, you know you are too much Nazi if even Le Pen doesn't want to continue coalition with you [1], lol. Funny btw also how the NSDAP cried ANTI-DEMOCRATIC before they did what they did.. rest is history.

Besides that, stop dreaming on, we have too many far rights, but the 20% you call popular vote is still at least half protest votes, barely supporting most points of that party, but so frustrated with the other politics.

No way. McDonald's stock has already recovered its earlier losses from 2023 over concerns about these new weight loss drugs.

Here is why:

1. Food companies can make up the difference by raising prices and reducing portion size (which is already a thing, called shrinkflation), and diversifying to new offerings such as food that is specifically marketed to people who are on these drugs, at a markup.

2. People on these drugs still need to eat, but not as much. This varies by person. Some have significant appetite loss, others not so much.

3. Response is highly variable, with anywhere from 20-50% of people losing only between 0-15% of initial weight, which may not be enough weight loss to justify the side effects and costs. People who do not lose much weight will still be overweight or obese, and given the costs and side effects, will likely discontinue usage.
I think several things in this article were more from the early 00's than the 90's.

Before using tables for rounded corners, I remember playing with a multi-chat app called Trillian (which handled yahoo chat as well as ICQ and others). It could be skinned to your liking in much the same way you were dealing with rounded corners. The top and side cells were repeating images so resizing the window would work well.
It’s easy to understand: Apple really only wants apps that make them money.
I really want Framework to make a printer, actually it doesn't have to be Framework but a company with a similar model and goals would be great. The printer industry needs a swift smack upside the head. Its totally awful. Yes I love my Brother, but I'm keeping my eyes open for a good OkiData linefeed printer. Those things are tanks and their ink lasts forever.
Not quite. OCSP responses can be stapled to TLS handshakes to provide fresh revocation information. Online is needed if you want 100% fresh information, of course.

The broom would actually be useful for some applications. Top of objects, concrete texturing, etc.
That is Netflix's choice, they could allow it they are choosing not too.

And your right, it is hurting users since they loose the protections granted to them by App Store billing.

The solution to that problem is not moving to another store though.
