For a road that I commuted on a lot: At the town line entering Lexington, MA, they have posted the default Lexington-wide speed limit: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.4098312,-71.2076201,3a,75y,3...

That road, Concord Ave, is posted as a 35 or 40 mph road for its length. (The MassDOT GIS database lists that first segment in Lexington as having a 40 mph speed limit, object_id = 395024.)

At 94 (about 1500' ahead), Concord Ave is posted as 35 mph:
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.4131439,-71.2130807,3a,75y,3...

At 190, posted as 35:
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.4156383,-71.2191302,3a,75y,3...

At 72 (in the other direction) posted as 40: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.4126782,-71.2123193,3a,75y,1...

Mass Ave, entering Lexington: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.425451,-71.1924309,3a,75y,28...

Mass Ave shortly ahead, posted at 30: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.4277977,-71.2025678,3a,75y,2...

Rt 30, entering Newton: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.3398206,-71.1676001,3a,75y,2...

500-ish feet ahead: 30 mph: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.3394727,-71.1686319,3a,75y,2...

I believe a casual sign-reader could easily see the default sign and mistakenly conclude the speed limit on the pavement they are on is 25 mph. If I was stopped for 30 in the vicinity of any of the default limit signs I posted, I really, really like my chances to have it dismissed.
Thank you for the insightful comment! Is there any good read on the subject?

Re: petere, it's not about Romans, rather the original meaning that provides insight into the pure form of competition. There is a great book called "True Competition" by David Shields that explores this topic and tries to answer the question "How to make competitions more healthy so they don't deteriorate into something that destroys the original spirit of competition".

It's also interesting that in English word "competition" is also used for business, economics, biology, and political sciences. In business, it's clear that competition is a tool to incentivize market players to pursue the highest quality of service at the lowest cost ("show your best"). Again, in monopoly/monopsony, there is no competition – we need other players for that – and no incentive to "show your best".
It is also long, the 6ft one is $129 and the 10ft one is $159. Most USB4 cables are below 3ft and get expensive as they get longer. It is nice that there are longer ones cause longer USB3 cables were rare.

Apple's are twice as expensive as other manufacturers.
That's so plain, it's actually genius

This situation is like if the majority of the EU's transportation infrastructure (e.g. roads, train tracks, etc.) were owned by a handful of private American companies. Whatever value they provide (maybe it's really good infrastructure), their power comes from their overwhelming dominance and control of these sectors of the economy (i.e. transportation/tech). Don't act as though Apple is some powerless and altruistic party.

I wonder whether LLMs will turn out to have a sort of uncanny valley of their own when it comes to producing creative works from incomprehensibly vast training sets. Will LLM novels, for example, be an unlimited spigot of things we enjoy or will we look at it and get the uneasy feeling that it isn't human and decide we would rather deal with the unevenness of human creation because it is human?
From the comments the big gains are from using wineserver in userland but valve/steam/deck/proton uses fsync which is already a kernel api, so there then won't be these big gains.

I'm very suspicious vale/proton/wine slept on 2-3x performance boosts. It sounds like this problem is already solved, but this implementation might be more elegant, but its the same performance out of edge cases.
Can you say more about this custom appliance?
As demonstrated by the original comment we're all replying to (see the other replies).
You don't need custom versions for Chrome for tracking. Plenty of apps force links to open in-app, inject JS and then you have to make a few additional taps to get it to open in untampered Safari
Temperatures can be extremely variated in very short distances depending on where the cold air gets stuck and where it moves away. Just now when I did my evening ride I had to stop after 5 km and put on goggles after the temp went down 10 degrees compared to the start location. I badly regretted not putting on the extra cotton layer.

On the other hand some people use an IR thermometer to measure temperature outside which gives the completely wrong temperature. Can be 10-20 degrees lower than air temperature.
I have the same reaction. I don't want to guess what OP is asking.
Apple does not have a right to determine what software people run on their general purpose computers. That is the whole point of the DMA. I apologize if you couldn't understand this.

> No different to how supermarkets choose what items to stock

And yet, you can drive to Ikea and buy a couch without having to pay a fee to Walmart. Very curious. Want to think of a better analogy?
Agreed. This is a licensing issue that has far reaching impact if addressed. As long as licensing software is a thing, Apple is well within its right to charge.

And to your point, a judge in one of the recent cases even said they were not inclined to tell Apple how much to charge in their business.
The 6400 lacks video encoders, but it still has decoders for H.264 and H.265. VP9 decoding should also work, but it's not listed on AMD's website per se. To use these capabilities on Linux, you will need to install the correct VA-API drivers, though, and Firefox is still reluctant to enable hardware video decoding on Linux.

The resizable BAR problem is annoying, but that's not limited to AMD, either. I'm not 100% sure about Intel, but if resizable BAR doesn't affect performance, that only makes me think they left some easy performance win on the table.

I have to agree on Intel QuickSync, though, that's hands down the best video encode/decode solution for consumers. AV1 encoders are very recent additions to the GPU landscape, though, so you won't be able to get those on a budget. AV1 decoders are easier to obtain, and H.264/VP9 especially so.
I'm kinda confused on the downvotes here - are we advocating for media conformance? What's the counter view to wanting media which sources more?
A single nonprofit can create an alternative app store, and distribute any open-source app from within - this is pretty much how f-droid works on android.

"It's not great or the best thing ever or particularly high on either *simple user friendliness* or power user friendly."

But there are multiple reports in this thread about how easy of an install it was. I'm adding my own in. It was super simple.

It was way easier than installing Automatic1111. It's easier than building llama.cpp.

SnowLprd had some good points for power users although I think he was overly critical in his phrasing. But what's got y'all tripping thinking this is hard?
I'm building one! It's still under heavy development. Doing a lot of yak-shaving trying to get the internal architecture to suck as little as possible. Jenkins is surprisingly complex. Things that seem like should be simple, turns out is difficult to implement in a way that isn't horrible, when everything is a plugin. The good news is, at the pace i'm going, it should be production-ready in about 2 years :D But at least it will be GPL, and not strangled by some company trying to monetize it.

If you want something today that's closest to Jenkins in design, that would be StackStorm. It's not very trendy, but it has basically everything you need, and a flexible, pluggable architecture. They open-sourced all the Enterprise components too.
> Apple's entire business model is being a walled garden

Is it really their business model? They still earn most of their revenue with hardware. I think they‘d do just fine even if they opened up more. Their institutionalized control fetish prevents it.

Apps don’t have to pay for notarization on MacOS, and nobody forces Apple to perform notarization in the first place. It’s also implausible that there would be any notable cost per install.

I assume that "Talk to your data" presupposes the existence of some simple view that has been created and that embeds 99% of the required business logic.

"What was the average order size per customer for product XYZ in the West region?"

Imagine turning that one loose against the typical legacy system.

I wouldn't trust an LLM to figure out the joins or aggregate calculation, LET ALONE the definition of a customer, a product, or a region.

But it would almost certainly generate AN answer.
Mainly because Apple hardware is amazing. I used to run Windows on Bootcamp on my MacBook and loved it and now Windows is worse, Apple Silicon is just way better. If Apple didn't allow me to install outside the AppStore on my MacBook I will complain as well and hopefully you won't be like "IDK, Windows exists"

I’m fairly sure Apple did consult a bunch of lawyers, and actually talked through the eu about it.
Shipping and warehousing only accounts for a tiny fraction of the cost of most consumer products. It's hardly an order of magnitude difference.

Chinese consumers can buy pretty much the same products as Americans (with a few limited exceptions such as weapons and narcotics). But they tend to save more on a percentage basis. Some of this is cultural. But mostly it's a practical reaction to a lack of a social safety net. Even though China is nominally communist, as a practical matter most consumers have to pay out of pocket for healthcare and retirement hence they save for those things. They also save to purchase residential real estate since it is seen as the only safe store of value and owning a home is somewhat necessary for marriage (at least for men).
So, why do you think Apple is doing this? Presumably their lawyers aren't stupid and Apple does not want to be fined 10% of their worldwide annual turnover.

Yeah, blame the user for for poorly named columns and whatever "clean" means, that's it. That's what's blocking the feature.

The issue is that SQL is not composable. It's necessary to articulate the messy operation all at once and it's not possible to iterate on it.

I didn’t mean “they can’t afford it” jealousy, but from my experience the quality of apps on iOS is significantly higher than Android, that’s what I was going for; jealous of the “polish”, if you will.

Then again that could be because I’m used to iOS and find the Android UX patterns poor at best.

Apple did not do this because consumers do not value malware and fraud protection nearly as much as Apple would like everyone to believe.
Great comment, thank you.

I would just add that the russia thing is a direct consequence of the judge's system change (where russian officials are very much involved). The reason why russia was dominating medal standings for women (and not for men or ice dance), is precisely because russia could afford a stream of pre-puberty girls who win a medal at the cost of their physical and mental health.

Also, needless to say, the russian sport system is still a direct copy of the soviet sport system, which was essentially created by Stalin when USSR first decided to participate in the Olympics in 1952 (guess, why USSR didn't care about the international sport before WWII). The way how sport is organized in russia goes against the sports autonomy principle that is sacred in democratic countries and is embodied in the Olympic Charter and European Sports Charter.
IDK, put a TPM or something on cameras and media players display an "untrusted" watermark if the key doesn't match. Or something. I have a hard time believing we won't figure something out. But even if not: gullible people will be duped regardless, most people have some semblance of a BS detector they are able to fine tune based on the amount of BS in their environment, and the rest just believe what they want to believe irrespective of anything else. I don't think AI changes much of that calculus at all.

I'm a lot more concerned about the future disparity between its math capabilities and its common sense; that a GPT will quietly break RSA without any awareness of the implications, and some unwitting person will prompt "what would happen if all the world's money was deposited in my account simultaneously" and GPT decides that there's only one way to know for sure.

The parallels of the printer industry and the smart TV industry are striking to me.

The cost of a consumer smart TV has moved towards being subsidized by selling ads and watch history to media companies. Most consumers expect their flat screen high resolution 80" TV to cost less than $1000; there's even some choices in the $400-500 range now. Samsung (et al) need the recurring ad revenue (they say) to keep the lights on and provide continued products. They rightfully believe the market won't exist for the sustainable cost of the TV set, maybe in the multiple thousand price range, without the ad/viewership revenue.

I think HP is facing this same problem. People won't buy a multiple thousands dollar printer. The market has driven the price down, such that HP needs to capture recurring revenue from its consumers. Without it, the retail price of printers would end up being much higher, likely out of reach for common consumers.

I think the blame for this lies more with consumers than with manufacturers. I'm not stump speeching for HP; if anything, they have been my bane from previous days of being a local system administrator maintaining a fleet of printers for an engineering firm. And yes, corporate greed, perceived shareholder needs, and CxO salaries have led to these conditions too.

Ultimately I just wish there were some good market choices here for normal consumers. I don't want to buy the "business" version of a printer anymore than I want to buy the business version of a smart TV display. But I wish there was a model where we didn't have to shell out for expensive HP toner just to have a decent printer on a subscription model.

Like it or not, I think the subscription model is only in the beginning phases. You're not going to own anything in the future.
The spirit (someone else may fill in with the letter) of the DMA is that this can not be enforced by Apple.
We discussed this among ourselves when in kindergarthen and school while doing the mandatory skiing classes. The most sensitive part is the nose so you breath out there to warm it up. Less dripping nose as long as you can keep it up. If you forget, the nose directly freezes up and your nose will be dripping the rest of the trip :-)

I was so baffled that the heat exchangers were so cheap, I had always imagined them to cost a fortune so I didn't even think of getting one until a few years ago. But I guess they did cost a lot more 20 years ago...

As someone trying to contribute to an open source iOS app, an app store that doesn't require me to pay money to use the NFC entitlement, muck about changing bundle IDs to be able to build an open source app and run it on my own device, or build an app that I can use for longer than 7 days without publishing to an app store, I take issue with your framing of other app stores. The original app store is already shitty, this legislation will make it not worse, but it will not be the solution to my personal woes with the shitty app store.

Let’s not pretend Apple isn’t building the best consumer silicon in the world and the most secure and user-friendly consumer operating systems in the world. That’s not even considering their supply chain innovations.

Apple devices are superior to their competition in just about every objective measure.

A general rising at that role and level is basically a politician.

The actual stats on the two point conversion: "About 47.5 percent of the time since 2015 — almost exactly half that of the extra-point conversion rate." The other point is you have to make the first 2-point conversion to win. You can still tie with the next attempt, but not win. That makes the odds of winning by taking the two point conversion, pre-overtime, is 47.5%. (The odds of losing is higher, because you could also miss the second attempt and not go to overtime.) So, don't go for two.

If we're talking the files+folders paradigm, then there's not much innovation remaining outside of cosmetic changes. Desktop computers are "done" much the same way automobile interfaces (steering wheel, foot peddles, etc) are "done". I think true Desktop innovations would require a paradigm shift or new hardware, like eye-tracking or a BCI.
