Question, does this require specialized hardware at all? GPUs?
Isn't it an ASIC on the CPU? What does that have to do with RDNA3?
You have no idea what you’re talking about. You’re so confidently incorrect about Rust that there’s no point even trying to educate you. Good day.
No, because even if you are at a pretty standard company, you will be expected to deal with these technologies

Cost optimization and stakeholder pleasing. I also think they are counting on AI to replace some of the roles, but that's a different discussion.
That is why this should’ve never been about sideloading apps, but mandating a right to have root access.
> "If they can't tell me what the software is supposed to do, I can't test it," Francine, the test manager, scowled. "So, I tell them that I won't start testing until they produce a detailed requirements document."

I think this attitude could only work if you expected end-users to do the same: no user interactions except things explicitly written in the manual.
The actual paper with the findings and methodology: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adj6233

The paper is saying that the numbers reported by industry are made on the basis of a few pollutant species, but looking at a much wider set of potential pollutants yields this "6300%" figure.
Yeah, although the debugger in lisp is also lacking a lot of features people tend to expect: stepping through code, in particular, is painful unless you recompile with DEBUG 3
Even more extreme.

'Antisocial' means against others. "Antagonistic, hostile, or unfriendly toward others; menacing"

No real surprises here but it would've been more interesting if they would've discussed the SEO-like tactics the purveyors likely are using.
Can't speak for the author. I haven't seen the reasoning. The awareness of the app wasn't that great though. I only found out it existed right as Slack changed the organisation token/auth which never got fully implemented in Ripcord. There was only one post that got lots of attention on HN and that was before the pandemic. (With a pretty good reception, mostly around being light/not-electron https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19617699)

Can't speak to the feature compatibility completely, but testing it over a week or so I've not found anything missing at the time. I think the video calls got added after the development stopped and that never arrived.

Then Discord started banning third party / differently behaving clients, so that part got dangerous.
I must be missing something -- why is the size of the documents a factor? If you embeded a document it would become a vector of ~1k floats, and 115k*1k floats is a couple hundred MB, trivial to fit in modern day RAM.
I too wish we could go back to the time when people didn't tell tall-tales. :p
What kind of take is this? The main channel for apps is extremely similar to iOS's App store. I highly doubt if there is a difference, it's due to non-Google App stores or sideloading.
Is there a Unicode symbol for source branch used there? Not really keen on using some specific fonts just for that.

It's a bit reductive to compare a tech news discussion site with the kind of social media being discussed in the article.

Who will you change to? Pretty much every other company with a mechanism to send photos to the cloud scans your pictures for CSAM right now and nobody cares. They've been doing it for many years. Nobody cares.

Unlike every other cloud photo service, Apple invited community discussion before implementing it. Apple heard the feedback and didn't implement it, but people still criticise Apple as if they did. What should I conclude from this? That criticism of Apple is frequently false, disingenuous and devoid of context?

Pretty much every other comparable mainstream ecosystem has most of the same vices. Most are arguably worse in my opinion. Epic still haven't satisfactorily explained why they haven't pursued Sony or Nintendo with the same arguments.
You see the de facto as opposed to aspirational rule of law constrain or even non-trivially inconvenience anything with a 1-3T notional value any time recently?

Binding, truly binding legislation or regulatory oversight is clearly the desirous end state. How in the hell we take even a single step towards that is the 1-3T dollar question.

SBF is in prison, so is Holmes, as was Madoff.

I think the golden age of tech is over. Software Engineers are a dime a dozen now. And except a few specialist roles, SWEs should stop expecting high salaries. Part of the fault is coding bootcamps and flooding of market with programmers.
Not reductive at all, just something you personally dislike the comparison of. Very big difference.

If I make OpenFlappyBird, and it's my little personal project, and I distribute it on OpenMarketPlace *for free*, and it's a surprise massive runaway hit in the EU, with 10,000,000 people downloading it, I now owe Apple, after making zero money myself, ~$400k, *per month* (thanks pzo for the clarification).

So we should delay the development of their visualization skill, because otherwise visualization is useless in chess? This works literally against what chess is about and materializes the least complex aspect of the game into a visual noise all over the board.

It's complicated, but the idea of social media isn't bad, it is how it is used that is bad and preying on kids is always bad. The concept of being connected with family through social media to share about things going on responsibly is inherently good. However lets be real people will devolve things into the least responsible use ever.
The other thing that gets me is how some of the web3 hype was initially billed around decentralization and removing middlemen and now we have all these pretty centralized middlemen appearing.
Perhaps you are too focused on the ideal of "efficiency". Seems like another form of procrastination.

Just get started. The Richard Feynman technique is very productive. Ask a question, and then research until you answer it. Along the way you will ask many other questions. Once you answer the first question, pick the most interesting new question and repeat. Before you know it, you will be more knowledgeable in that area than the average.

AI can be a great assistant. It will do the legwork for you. But you need to verify to ensure that you are not fed hallucinations or erroneous information. With increasing knowledge and critical thinking you will get better at panning for knowledge gold.
Most biological processes are modelled and assumed as being normally distributed due to the central limit theorem.

If you were talking about how much sperm they had exponential would indeed be better. But we’re not. Just if they have any.

If the average time it takes is 2,5 months, you should expect to wait on average 2,5 months, not 4.

That is indeed not the same as asking when do 83% of men have sperm, since 83% is not the average.
Interesting, I have done exactly that too! I have it sent to my laser printer to print out just before I wake up.
This is much worse. You didn't have a TV in your pocket when you were 10. Everyone else didn't and you weren't pressured by peers to have it. The TV didn't track you and basically try to abuse you secretly.

I totally get corporate blogs but the hey.com one has only hot takes and rage filled articles. Do better, with your credentials you must have something more to say than "I hate...". Look at the complete history it's mindboggling. It's either product announcements or a roundhouse kick.
I think anything that takes 10 lines instead of 100 is better. Easier to read, use, and scale. I cannot think of any exception to this.
This must be an old paper. No visible date. (Put a date in your PDF file, please. The papers are not being delivered bound into a magazine or proceedings any more.) People have been 3D printing keys for years.[1][2]

Most of that is overkill. If it's just a pin-tumbler lock, simple picking techniques will usually work.

I prefer people who know quite a bit and come prepared to hearings, as their official job title claims to be, over people just asking questions to fund their next campaign with sound bites or news articles about their impassioned speeches.

No one learns anything new at these hearings. And everyone is posturing.
Multiple words strung together that are important to you…

I read this sentence 3 times and I still don’t know what it means.
> Though, can you point me at a marketplace as big as the App Store without loads of scams?

Not the person you're replying to but isn't that the point?
I don't know I mean I kind of find a lot of things on my phone addictive that I don't expect that intentionally evil people have optimized for it. Like regular news sites, hacker news, indie games and Lemmy.

Maybe people don't need to try very hard to make things addictive. Maybe we just "like" being addicted to things. Maybe we have strange reasons for it. (And maybe addiction is mostly a coping mechanism when we can't figure other things out.)

I'm not sure we can put all the blame on the creators of social media. At least sometimes I'm not sure they even need to try that hard.

Just because some people get the wrong idea when something exists, doesn't mean the existence of that thing is an actual problem or detriment. It's true, slapping "QA" on top of bad engineering isn't going to create quality. However, "having quality in mind throughout the development process" isn't going to guarantee it either, especially in a large and complex codebase with modules from many different teams. A QA org is useful for doing things like full-system testing, which can catch bugs that those individual teams might miss because they aren't testing the entire system. It's also useful to have dedicated testers because they'll test things out in ways the devs never thought of. Again, this isn't a replacement for quality engineering at the outset, but that's a management problem.
Or maybe AOT compile, there are two free beer options now, or make use of JIT caches, there are also a couple of implementationst that do it.

That is the beauty of languages with multiple implementations.
As a people watcher, I saw my own wife and kid go through this. The best way I can think to describe it is that humans are social creatures, so socialization makes us happy. And we used to do it a few times a day/week/month.

Then came social media, and it was pseudo socialization all the time. And at first it's pure ecstasy. But then you get used to it as the new normal, and without it feel empty like you need it. More and more.

It sounds like I'm describing a drug, and honestly, for most it seems to behave similarly and should be treated as such. It's hard to regulate or argue because on paper, it's harmless. So I have no idea what the solution could ever possibly be other than intervention or introspection.

(in full transparency, I went through this as well, but it's not easy to see when it's happening to yourself.)

Ocean plastics primarily come from cities in less developed countries that don’t have any government waste management (and by that i mean garbage pickup) that just dump their trash in the local river.

Your plastic straw doesn’t end up in the ocean unless you litter on a beach trip. Guilt tripped Americans eating fast food make up an unimaginably tiny amount of ocean plastic waste.

It isn’t a “we can do both” situation for either matter. It’s a popular deception that makes people feel like they’re helping which almost entirely distracts from the actual issues. The “thoughts and prayers” response that is worse than useless.

This is just such a sad state of affairs. In the end nobody wins and everyone loses - apple and developers.

Now Apple needs to provide the APIs for alternative markets which is a waste of time as well as making more vulnerability vectors and potentially confusing users. And app developers who decided for whatever reason to use their own distribution channel would still have to pay apple on every purchase.

What is the point of this change?

Apple has probably calculated the risk of a legal challenge as 99%, the risk of losing it is 80%, but they expect a small/affordable penalty and at least a couple of years where they can hold onto their rent seeking in the iPhone space.
You seem to still have an impression that “secure” here is somehow related to “security” of the users or their “authority over their own systems”, when in fact it only means “securing” the position of the company that gets to control the thing. Even if Microsoft fires everyone tomorrow and closes, Secure Boot key infrastructure and agreements will still cost a lot. Just like patent pools of former industrial giants that don't just disappear.

In the same manner, insane DRM schemes are not made to be solid and unbreakable, or because sellers are worried about home copies (made by people who won't buy the product anyway otherwise). DRM is just a convoluted enough mesaure to protect corporations from their fellow corporations who would gladly make the same thing, but more convenient, or cheaper, or more profitable, and ride the “piracy” wave. In the same manner, Google didn't shove HTTPS into everything because it was worried about the users, but because it was worried about other companies with massive traffic spying abilities grabbing the data Google collected for itself. Et cetera, et cetera.
If you search the web for 'is Snapchat e2e encrypted', you'll find a bunch of unofficial resources saying yes, but no official page saying so.

I think the actual answer is no. Snapchat uses Https only, so the server can still read/scan all messages.
Because it is. It might be right, but it is also indistinguishable to any other time the proposal is "the government is going to manage your recreational activities for your own benefit".
Yes he did, it’s in the Lotus sutra and Lankavatara sutras, to name two. Perhaps you’re a Pali canon fundamentalist or something but thats not my problem, what I’m saying is orthodox Mahayana: Buddhas can create bodies and are basically omnipotent in the Mahayana. The lotus sutra even says that the Buddha faked his appearance on this Earth so that the sravakas would have a nice narrative to believe in

Also the fact you said meditate makes me think you are quite ignorant about Buddhism. Most Buddhists don’t meditate, the idea that most do is a western misconception. I’m a pure land Buddhist, which is the most popular in the world, and we mainly engage in recitation and offerings and bowing

EDIT and I understand it may just be ignorance but it’s highly offensive to characterise traditional Mahayana Buddhist beliefs as some kind of children’s show. This is effectively slandering the Dharma
I guess I'm struggling to see how there's any difference here, can you give an example?
Oh my god. If Orion supports the SponsorBlock extension, I'll die of happiness.
They might want the results of interoperability and openness, but what they ask for is a dumbphone that can run all their favorite apps. If you gave them a linux phone, they'd ask how to install their favorite apps. When they discover that you, essentially, can't, they'll throw it out and post another thread on r/dumbphones asking the same question.

That's why I think there's a market for phones like this 'Minimal Phone' even though to a techie it's just another android gadget. People ask for this device all the time. By the time they find out the walled garden still sucks in monochrome, someone will already have made a profit.
This falls squarely under the exemptions for security reasons under article 6 sub 4 of the DMA.

> The gatekeeper shall not be prevented from taking, to the extent that they are strictly necessary and proportionate, measures to ensure that third-party software applications or software application stores do not endanger the integrity of the hardware or operating system provided by the gatekeeper, provided that such measures are duly justified by the gatekeeper.
Furthermore, the gatekeeper shall not be prevented from applying, to the extent that they are strictly necessary and proportionate, measures and settings other than default settings, enabling end users to effectively protect security in relation to third-party software applications or software application stores, provided that such measures and settings other than default settings are duly justified by the gatekeeper.
> Additionally, those privacy controls are more fundamental than those in the App Store. It's more important that the app not be able to toggle the microphone at will than for you to be able to control what it does with that audio after capture.

I mean both are equally important really. I might want to grant you access to my microphone to run a voice command but that doesn't mean I want you to collect my voice recordings and sell them to someone else. I might want to grant you access to my contacts so I can message my friends but that doesn't mean I want you to scrape my contact list to data mine my social network.

> That's not an iOS problem, and Apple fundamentally cannot regulate that, App Store or no - after your personal information goes to a third party's servers, Apple has zero visibility into what happens.

Yes they can. Maybe not perfectly but the App Store Review Guidelines define specific restrictions on what you can do with personal information, with the threat of having your developer account terminated if you violate those restrictions.

> Apple cannot and should not be responsible for fixing this - we need a good set of government regulations designed to restrict how your personal data is collected or used.

Sure, specific privacy regulations would be great, but the government moves very slowly and the government itself isn't going to be able to enforce such regulations on a massive scale in the same way that the app review process currently does.
We need an equivalent to the FDA for dark patterns - patterns "Generally Recognized As Dangerous".

I don't think the problem is social media per se. I think the problem is the ad-funded business model.

Because the business only gets revenue from attention, it needs to create more attention. So it engages in these really harmful tactics (knowingly) to create addiction and engagement, because that's how it makes money.

If everyone had to pay for their social media and it didn't display ads, the problem wouldn't exist. Social media companies would be incentivised to reduce your engagement with their platform. They would pay attention to what their customers wanted (the user, not the advertiser) and probably give more of a shit about our mental health.

We see the same with journalism, where the ad-driven business model produces clickbait, outrage porn and the enshittification of the reading experience.

The whole internet would work much better if we just banned advertising on it. I know this is impractical, but it's true.
