This is just the first public round of a negotiation process. The EU is going to force Apple to dial this down to some level that the EU considers acceptable.

Apple wants zero liability from the upcoming changes to the Product Liability Directive and the introduction of the EU Cyber Resilience Act. They want to say "the system was more secure, but the EU made us do this so go pound sand".

> Inevitably, the new options for developers’ EU apps create new risks to Apple users and their devices. Apple can’t eliminate those risks, but within the DMA’s constraints, the company will take steps to reduce them.

That's exactly what this means. Nobody will be able to argue that Apple could have done more. It will be "Apple was doing more, but the EU made them do less".
The thing Google got chastised for is having a short retention policy.
Like with most things, the problem is usually that we can't find peripherals that are actually nice, rather than overpriced (and endorsed by shills). If the options are paying 40$ for a shitty keyboard, versus paying 400$ for a still equally (if not more) shitty keyboard, the choice is pretty obvious.
Tell HN: Looking for customer-hair-is-on-fire ideas? Here is one: AI CPA
The conventional wisdom is that AIs will replace some jobs in the near future.

Every CPA I encounter is "currently not taking new customers" and some are trying to reduce the number of customers they have.

From what I've seen, an AI-driven app that can replace a CPA (or even do 90% of the work of the CPA up to final signoff) will have a huge base of hair-on-fire users from day one.

If anyone knows of strong contenders already out there, please share.

(@dang doesn't work - I saw this by accident but the only guaranteed message delivery is hn@ycombinator.com)

I wouldn't use the term propaganda account for several reasons, one of which is that on any divisive topic, no one agrees about what counts as 'propaganda'. People mostly use that word to refer to points they strongly disagree with. In that way, it's a lot like the word censorship. For moderation purposes, it's better to use different words so we don't get tangled in definitional arguments.

But it's against HN's rules to use the site primarily for political battle (among other things), and when an account does that repeatedly and ignores our requests to stop, we usually end up banning it. I did that a while ago in this case.

Yes. Even without enabling root, you can install Termux[1] and have a full Linux cli environment with ssh.

I agree. I sync my camera folder with Syncthing[1], so as soon as I take a photo it is available on my laptop.

Imagine if Apple behaved this way for mac OS. A significant number of Mac users I know:

- do not use the Mac App Store for anything other than first-party apps like keynote, et al

- Use chrome or firefox as their default web browser

- download and install software from trusted 3rd-party marketplace apps like Steam all the time

And it's not the end of the world.
Well, you have to do that anyways
That currently applies to photos with animals deliberately triggering the shutter. I would hesistate to say "it's established" without more than one precedent in US case law.

What about Caddy, me and my friends have moved onto Caddy over a year ago and haven't experienced any issues.
Jobs was wrong. Not just a bit wrong, totally wrong.

Computers are tools. Do you see grinder manufacturers say "we only need one type of disk, because people should not have to remember whether they need a diamond blade for masonry or a metal cutting one?" You do not.

There is a frame in which Jobs is correct - the frame in which computers are not tools, but devices intended for the passive consumption of content produced by others. A frame in which tool using never requires skill acquisition (a total inversion of tool use among (at least) humans for (at least) 10's of thousands of years.

No, he was wrong, and if he was right, I refuse to live in that version of the world.
I argue it's a failure to continue teaching something that humans do not and will not understand, and arguably also do not want in the first place.

Computers for most people are just another household appliance or tool of their trade. They use computers to achieve certain tasks and they don't have time nor interest to figure out the details of how. They want the results, not the process.

Abstraction of the file system is a step in the right direction, even if it rustles the jimmies of nerds and beards everywhere.
They charge royalties, not a per-install fee. If your app is free you wouldn't owe anything, unlike Apple's new system.

Google Assistant Driving Mode will be left. Driving Mode Dashboard was a terribly named stopgap with large buttons. It’s almost entirely unrelated to Driving Mode.

Totally agree with the point that, as usual, the branding is awful. They need to have these names reviewed by people who don’t live and breathe the product, the small nuances here are lost on GenPop.
A lot of people are focusing on the feeds etc, but I think the genius of this is that no-one can start a conversation with anybody else.
None that I know of stand out for 'doing well'. Once you start paying attention it is pretty clear that this is a concerted effort, not something incidental or accidental. That doesn't say much about the magnitude by they're pretty successful in getting their message out. The fact that people tend to follow the loudest voices in shaping their opinion certainly doesn't help and that fact has definitely not been lost on propagandists of all plumage.
> Yes, but you choose to use Unreal because its actually good. Meanwhile Apple gives you no choice.

How did you have no choice, did Apple threaten you or something?

Android is a competent competitor you could choose instead.
boot.dev is pretty close I’d say. Project / exercise based, AI help if needed, growing content and discord community.
For starters, don't believe everything you read. The title is blatantly wrong.
This comparison makes no sense. Unreal is a game engine. Apple is a platform. Are you expecting Apple to open an Android app store or something?
They are doing a very poor job of explaining why it should be true. Regarding security, for example, apps from third-party app stores still have to go through Apple’s review process. The apps require notarization. They also explicitly mention human review. So how would that be any less secure than for apps from their own App Store?
It's not just breaking changes that are a problem, UX changes just for the heck of it can cause people a lot of frustration. Pretty much every major Android version moves or changes core functionality. Changing the UI without a functional reason is the sort of thing a lot of people in tech get excited about but most people outside of the industry loathe.
My whole point is advocating consistent definitions of words, not subdivision and special pleading.

I had not realized submissions on 7 Oct were banned. Thank you for drawing attention to that. I threw the term "7 Oct" and "7 October" and there's pretty clearly no major threads about it, especially not in October. Even "Hamas" didn't reveal anything.

I don't think it's at all helpful to say "Every" thread in this conversation is "idiotic" alongside this, though. That just gives people room to dismiss your comment
We've (as a society, probably not many people in this thread) somewhat shifted away from using a particular interface pattern, which is different than forgetting how to use computers. That's not too big of a deal; usage changes.

The thing that makes me feel less confident about the future is that it seems like fewer even people want to know how computers work, even though they mediate their lives through them. There was a generation or two of people who had the opportunity to understand computers, because they were cheap enough to get access to them, and they were open enough (in every sense) to actually be tinkered with.

I don't necessarily believe we're living through a civilization-wide decline of the post-Western Roman Empire variety, because I'm not even sure what that means in a globally connected world. But there are localized areas and domains where it seems like it is, just like there are certain domains where it may seem like the opposite is happening.
Go Memory Metrics Demystified
Well I'm definitely not a morning person. It generally takes me until 10-11 to fully wake up so I choose lunch time. I have a flexible schedule and usually can take a 90 minute lunch break. 60 minutes for exercise and 30 for changing/eating. It works pretty well and just extends the working day a little.
I was also big into Android and the Google system starting in the same era, when the Nexus 4 was taking the nerd world by storm with its crazy value. And stuck with Google devices from it, to the Nexus 5, the Nexus 6P, the first Pixel, and the Pixel 3. But the constant cancelling of service, rebranding, overhauling, and feeling like I'm paying to be a perpetual beta tester I finally bought my first iPhone in 2020 when the 12 line came out (the 12 mini was incredibly enticing)

The one thing I thought I'd regret with switching from Android was the unlimited photo backups with Google Photos, and within a few months of my switch Google announced they were axing unlimited photo backups, even when you bought a Pixel. So they don't even have that to lure me back any more.

I still keep up with what's going on in the world of Android and it seems to only be news that gives me even less reason to switch back. They're trying to turn it more into iOS but with zero of the grace of Apple, and continue to have the corporate equivalent of ADHD with their lack of being able to focus and commit to a plan.

It's no surprise more and more people -- especially young people -- are switching to an iPhone. The iPhone keeps getting better and Android keeps getting worse. For the sake of all consumers, I hope they can continue to compete in the future, but as it is, I don't know who Android is for other than people who staunchly don't want to use an Apple product.
You do not owe royalties to Apple unless your app is either A: non-free or B: on another store.

Sorta off-topic but...

This is part of that window in time and place that isn't Internet history but isn't the part of the early Web on either. BBSs/PC culture, minicomputers, and various other things exist as sort of a memory hole about which there is relatively extant documentation outside of some memories that may not have been written down at some point. Some things from that era, anything related to Apple, big companies that survived (IBM, HP) made it through to the present day but much did not.
> "visually identical buttons"

uh, except for their physical placement and accessibility with a given digit, sure.
Gas-fired heat pumps are neither economical nor efficient for single-apartment or single-house systems. Internal combustion engines with shaft power output of 1-2 kW are inefficient, loud and maintenance intensive.

They can start to make sense from around 50 kW heating/cooling capacity and upwards, so the smallest units are suitable for 8-15 apartments depending on size.
That could still be the case ;)
Why do you have a "conversation archive"?

Wouldn't you consider it really fucking weird if every time you had an informal, in-person discussion with a friend, or maybe a partner, or even a co-worker, that they insisted on writing everything both of you said in a notebook to keep a permanent record of it, in case they wanted to call you out on something you kind of blurted out without too much thought ten years from now, or to be able to turn it over to the authorities if they ever (incorrectly?) thought you might be implicated in something dodgy? Or for it to be available for someone to steal and/or make copies of?

They can never just have a chat with you? Shoot the shit and put the world to rights, without you keeping meticulous records of every goddamn word they said off the cuff?

You don't think that, maybe, the more our real lives move online, the more that that kind of friendly, informal, ephemeral conversation ought to be able to move online?
> but for me, it failed at... being a phone.

Unfortunately, true for any "pure Linux" phone out there since forever.

I used to have a Nokia N900 and root for it very very much, but the dialer freezing and that infamous kernel bug when lots I/O could make everything sluggish made it a necessity to also carry a feature phone with my primary SIM around, too, just in case.
This argument ignores the cost of transmission and distribution, which are higher costs than the generation itself.

And as electricity prices are driven down even further, T&D will come to dominate over energy generation costs.

Few models account for this, but Christopher Clack made one, and the lowest cost energy path was a small amount of investment in distribution now, paired with massive deployment of solar on homes and industrial/commercial.

This won't happen unless utilities are forced into it or their allowed profit model is changed to deliver ratepayers the lowest cost energy, however.
At what point does Russia just deploy nuclear weapons?
This line of comments is toxic but so close to being constructive that I have to comment.

You had an opportunity to help a php newb get better. Your comment even did the work to present the ways to improve the code. It’s all undercut by the tone, however, which really sounds like you’re just shitting on OP.

It would have been easier to just call out ways OP can improve than to shit on their work. Why take the extra effort to be mean?

That answer to that question is without a doubt, "No" unlike what Tim is trying to say.
> Modern-day Zionism to me and many others means that Israel has the right to exist.

I think the framing of this argument is so tricky, because states don't have any rights. States aren't human beings. There is so much to unpack in the statement "X state has a right to exist".

> On other hand, my interpretation of people who are self-proclaimed anti-Zionists logically flows from above statement that they believe that the present state of Israel DOES NOT have a right to exist. Which implies deportation of extermination of 6 million Jewish Israelis

I am not saying that Israel's borders should be dissolved, but if Israel and Palestine were integrated into a single state where Jews and Arabs had equal rights, would this not still be a home for Jews?

Destruction of the state of Israel is not equivalent with the genocide of all Israeli Jews, unless your definition of genocide is the same as the one used by white supremacists in the US, who believe that letting non-whites into the country is genocide.

The point I am trying to make is that is Zionism, by your definition, exclusionary? If so then what you are describing is an ethnostate, which many would argue is a fascist idea.

Jews, Roma, Kurds, and all ethnic minorities deserve human rights. However, they are not entitled to statehood and their states are not entitled to any rights themselves.

Also, I do agree there are antisemites who say "zionism" as a dogwhistle for "jews".

amazingly, perhaps, on my laptop, i have a touchpad AND a perfectly viable 3 button button zone.

I don't usually reply to meta posts, but I can't help but agree with this.

As much as I appreciate the work moderators do here any other day of the year, it was disappointing that there was no discussion allowed on October 7th - indeed, every thread was nuked - when 0.1% of the Jews in the world were murdered in a single day.

When Russia attacked Ukraine that was very much allowed to be discussed, and rightly so.
You have to know the internals of your dependencies so you can link them explicitly, recursively. (admittedly, pkg-config helps a ton, but not all libraries ship (good) .pc files)

Global constructors no longer reliably fire unless you are extremely careful with your build system, nor do they run in a predictable order (e.g. you can call a library before it is actually initialized, unlike dynamic linking where only preinit - which nobody uses - is weird), nor can you defer them until dlopen time if you want (which is, admittedly, overdone).

It's possible to link to parts of multiple versions of a library (remember, you have to recurse into your dependencies), as opposed to dynamic libraries where at least you're guaranteed all-or-nothing (which is much easier to detect).

Linking is slower since it always has to be redone from scratch.

Not resilent against system changes. For example, old versions of `bash-static` (grab them from e.g. Debian snapshot and extract them manually; don't install them) are no longer runnable on modern systems since certain system files have changed formats, whereas the dynamically-linked `bash` packages still run just fine.

It also encourages bad stability habits, leading to the equivalent of NPM hell, which is far worse than DLL hell ever was.

You can't use LD_PRELOAD or other dynamic interception tools.

There are probably more reasons to avoid static linking, but I'm trying to ignore the handful from the popular lists.

I don't know about that second part - but it would make sense that google (and others) may want to use lmsys's arena to benchmark their models.

After all, Human A/B tests are far better then the current automated benchmarks.

I would like more info from lmsys as to how they're accessing these though.

Despite talk about authoritarianism we rarely discuss its cultural roots.

Notice how the article puts the burden on authorities & companies to add more surveillance and penalties for people to improve their behavior.

Every ill in society can be fixed with enough surveillance, by this reasoning.

People often worry that we will become like the 20th century authoritarian states (e.g the 3rd Reich, GDR , USSR, etc) and I tell them that we've far surpassed their surveillance and control capacity.

So let's not keep adding to it, shall we?
