I'd like to agree, but that's a big "if". The more I learn, the less I trust any of these things I use continuously.
They do mention in the description being inspired by Mass Effect so I guess they felt a visit to the $COLOUR-Skinned Space Babe spin wheel was part of the deal.
As I understand it this new antenna changes frequencies in the collapsed/omni states so you would then need multiple transmitters/antennas on the drone which would be weight prohibitive.

Antenna tracking ground stations and diversity receivers have been around since the early fpv days, although tracking isn't very mainstream because its challenging to set it all up. I'd still prefer my dual antenna / diversity RX setup since it provides some redundancy.
Years ago I was driving 2 4k monitors using a TB3 cable that cost maybe $20-$30, so this one kinda seems like overkill. Granted, those monitors were plugged into a TB dock separately instead of daisy-chained, but there was only one cable between my laptop and the dock so it seems like the bandwidth was already adequate?
I want toilets to have better fans.

Specifically, we need a fan that runs while the light is on in the toilet and for 5 mins afterwards and can do perhaps 1 full air change per minute (that's a lot of air moving, but toilets tend to be small).

And that air should go outdoors (maybe via a heat exchanger and filter)
That's exactly what I predicted for NFC when Apple announced Apple Pay. Apple kept developers from using any of the NFC APIs until they were ready to roll out Apple Pay, and then only allowed non-payment NFC after that. It gave them 10 years to establish Apple Pay.

Being the system default was obviously very convenient for customers and there would be a very high bar for any other payment app to compete, but Apple wanted to make absolutely sure there was no possible competition.
Exactly. To give an example, on macOS there is the mac app store. But over time other distribution platforms such as SetApp [0] have emerged.
But developers can actually enlist their apps in both of these "stores" (setapp is subscription based) which probably increases their potential revenue.

>>>*"the antenna moves to a flattened state to try to reach a satellite capable of receiving cell communications."

Sounds just like what Starlink is going to need for the direct to cell service they just tested!

But your point of mobile mounting this sounds pretty great, and obvious when its pointed out, actually.

I hope this does good things.

Hopefully its something that anyone can make and doesnt need to pay some high fee to benefit from.

Pick a lane.
You can have this! Simply only download apps from Apple's store. Apple still has no right to interfere in any way at all, or collect a tax, if I want to sell an app to someone else outside of it.
Nobody wants you to lose your ability to stay in the walled garden. We just want a way out ourselves, without paying exploitative fees.
If a PM has time to micromanage the engineers, something has gone seriously wrong in that organisation haha
You 2 aren't in any disagreement.

The whole point of all of these millions in legal fees is to even have the OPTION of an open model. Of course you'll always have walled garden option, that's apple's golden goose.
So one framing for what's happening now is Parametricism, a term coined by Patrik Schumacher and associated with the style of his business partner and firm: Zaha Hadid.

The basic premise of parametricism is that with fully digital design pipelines we have new ways of addressing the flaws in modernism while avoiding the aimlessness of postmodernism. In this view, architects are no longer designing surfaces or volumes, but rather painting parameters which are then utilized by algorithms and optimizers. This approach results in a style that has both unity and variation, continuous differentiation instead of the mechanistic repetition of modernism.

Here's one dry video and two kinda silly ones that introduce the perspective:

My sleep improved once I started measuring using a whoop strap.

Within a few days of wearing the strap, it was clear to me that my 8 hours were ineffective 8 hours. I was accumulating significant debt every day and when I paid it off over the weekend, I felt energized again.

I recognized that every day is different and needed to change my environment, and consistency accordingly. Sleep is now a non-negotiable thing in my life.
Yes, and we're talking about statistically measurable things. There is plenty of room to experiment with different reward systems in competitions. For example, in Finland, there is an alternative figure skating judging system for kids' competitions, and they have medals (1,2, and 3 place), but everyone else is the rest. Thus they send a positive competence signal to the winner and a relatively weak negative competence signal to others (i.e. no one is labeled "worst", plus everyone gets some prize reward).

Tennis' Play&Stay program for kids under 10 years old is also a good example – they use different tournament structures, so no one feels like they lost.

Spotify stopped improving about 8 years ago, and has only been enshittifying since. This allows for even more of that. I miss having a decent music app.
Yeah version vectors were first coined in a very underrated paper from 4 decades ago; "Detection of Mutual Inconsistency in Distributed Systems" [0].

In it they not only invent version vectors, they also perfectly describe what came to be known as the "multi-value register CRDT", some three decades before the term was coined. (Amazon Dyano paper does the same, but only a few years before).

Also, it contains this line which always makes me laugh:

Network partitioning can completely destroy mutual consistency in the worst case, and this fact has led to a certain amount of restrictiveness, vagueness, and even nervousness in past discussions, of how it may be handled.

Probably the most annoying inconsistency in any UI - no matter the platform - is which mouse button / modifier keys do you use to pan, rotate and zoom. Both in 2D and 3D there's zero consistency across programs.
They may not like it, but the question is: is it actually illegal under the new DMA regulations as they are currently written?

The DMA is 66 pages of legalese, otherwise I would have read it to find out:

> Do you think recidivism should ever result in harsher punishments?

They don’t seem to work so… no?

If you are convicted of a crime the individual offense and circumstances should be considered. Adding more punishment because someone failed to be persuaded by punishment seems ineffective at rehabilitation. “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.”

Maybe it makes sense to give up on a person and lock them up forever but if we are going to do that we should be honest and thoughtful about it.

“Well baseball” doesn’t seem sophisticated enough to address what should be an exceptional action in a nuanced situation.

> If so, do you think this should be codified in sentencing policy?

This is a good question. I guess my real objection to three strikes is that it seems both arbitrary (still willing to be wrong here but so far it’s just “baseball”) and mandatory. Similarly I’m also not a huge fan of minimum sentences. Let the judges… judge.

I never came across this emoticon, but with what you wrote, its meaning became clear immediately. It's perfect.
You don't have anything to worry about. You are just stuck in a nice new cage Apple has built for you because they were forced to dismantle the old cage.

So long as you are good boy and don't upload your App to any non-Apple app store, you won't be charged the per-install fee. Once you do, the gloves are off. They will start, and they won't ever stop even if you repent and go back to Apple-only distribution. Clever, right?
To late, they lost all credibility.
> The only way to help the masses is your way?

That's what Apple thinks, yes.

> Apple helped the masses, and the masses reward Apple by being the most valuable user base in the world

Yes, rich people buy (perceived) luxury products. Apple's greatest skill is positioning itself as a luxury product.
no reason in 5 years your bank app wouldn't be able to do this

(no reason they can't do it yet, but they are banks after all)
Yeah, it's almost as if some more healthy competition in the market would help instead of Apple being a monpopoly on mobile along with Google.

Hence why we need regulations to break Apple and Google of their high horse.
I also realized that if you defined the pieces like their moves, the knight's shape would be.... Interesting
How much did your TB dock cost?
>How?

Someone with enough privileged access to write to the ESP (ie root) can also add their own MOK to the ESP that the user might blindly accept next time they boot. Especially if they time it for when there is a legitimate new MOK in the ESP waiting to be accepted on next boot, so that the user is predisposed to accepting a new key.

They can also replace shim with other binaries with other vulnerabilities that were signed by the MS key in the past, in case DBX hasn't been updated with their hashes.

>The whole point of secure boot is that an attacker with even that level of access can't boot the machine in an authenticated way (and e.g. make the disk encryption key available).

Someone with enough privileged access to write to the ESP (ie root) can also just exfiltrate your disk contents at that point.
Not sure what you're on about. It's actually illegal to feed the homeless in certain American cities and you can get fined for doing so. This is called an analogy.

> The hardware cost is an argument that always makes me chuckle because there’s always cost in tooling involved. Whether you buy a hammer, a windows laptop or a Mac. At that point why stop there, why not throw in the cost of electricity and an internet connection?

Well, they are not forcing you to buy their specific brand of overpriced electricity or internet connection are they?

Forcing you to buy their hardware to develop is obviously an implicit unavoidable extra fee on the developer. There’s nothing technically special about their hardware in terms of compiling a program, it’s again anti-competitive.

And no, this is not common practice, the vast majority of software is developed with zero cost of tooling. Besides a minimal computer that can run an editor and a compiler, of course, purchased from a very diverse and open market, for arbitrarily cheap prices nowadays.
There's no reason why a different app store couldn't offer the exact same feature; centralized payments for all apps in their store. They could just charge a competitive fee, forcing Apple to compete fairly, lowering prices for all without impacting quality of experience.
An iPhone is just a tiny pocket computer. There is no technical reason preventing an iPhone from running shell scripts and emulators. The only reason why it can't do is because Apple controls what apps you are allowed to run on your phone.
I didn't say they had a monopoly on all software distribution. I said that claiming Apple had no monopoly is wrong.

> It's also highly questionable given that the courts have rejected "iOS software distribution" as a valid antitrust market for the purpose of monopolization claims.

Pray tell, in which jurisdictions?
Other countries might follow.
It's just the control plan running under Hypervisor though. The forwarding hardware is still being programmed etc, so it doesn't impact performance in that regard. For things like BGP convergence etc they've introduced it so that BGP gets sharded so that it scales better.
As I said, there's no biomarker for 'weed' such that one can poison just the competition, but a something like a 'Roundup Ready' GMO crop can to be used to do the inverse

No, notarization can be turned off on the Mac in ~15 seconds. Open a Terminal and type `sudo spctl --master-disable`. Enter your password and press enter.

You can also right click an individual unnotarization .app bundle and select `open`, then affirm your intention in the scary warning prompt.

P.S. The Mac also lets you disable SIP, install unsigned kernel extensions, and rewrite kernel memory to your heart's content. This is admittedly a bit more involved.
Absolutely spot on, and it really does seem like it’s always Android users moaning about Apple’s business model.

Why can’t you and I just live happily in our walled garden without zealots of open access ruining it for us? It truly boggles me. Is it jealousy? That’s all I can come up with.
Your right to swing your arm ends at my nose. If you have to force other people into your closed ecosystem to maintain it, you're the problem.
I'm really not clear what you're arguing so it's hard to work out if I disagree or not. Have you considered maybe writing slightly longer sentences?
Same. I understand why they're like that but I can't see it any other way than: "Why are pawns going to move in the wrong direction?".
I wasn't aware that there was a choice for EU developers to use the new pricing model or the old one? If free apps can stick to the "30% of nothing" commission, yeah, I suppose most will do that.

I'm not sure how this statement is contrary to what I've written

> A native plant in one context is an exotic pest in another.

Emphasis added.

Edit: Just in case it doesn't seem that way, I'm pro-conservation, and in the context of conservation of a particular ecosystem plants can be weeds. It's still a social construct. e.g., if a bird poops a plant from overseas 1000 years ago this is just the new ecosystem
Is that the value of the structure or the land it’s on ?
> Modern text editors do every single thing.

That's an outrageously false statement. If it were true, you'd rarely need plugins.

> I wonder what you'd consider an IDE nowadays.

The definition of an IDE hasn't changed in at least 20 years. INTEGRATED development environment.

If I install a C++ IDE, I have everything I need out of the box, and the experience is (usually) consistent across all features.

If I want to do C++ in Vim, I need to install about 10 plugins (to begin with) [1], which will result in a disjointed experience (each plugin has different authors with different visions) where things break randomly and I don't know why. Speaking from experience, unfortunately.

Yes, you can make it work and you can get used to it, but it's just a text editor that you try to coax into doing what you want by using plugins.

Whereas the IDE will give you a language-specific tool out of the box, without any significant effort or inconvenience on your part. And the overall experience is better because the IDE "just works" most of the time.

a defined context window size would be helpful to understand how useful this could even be.

Combined with a RAG that locates approximately useful function calls could make this a nearly complete 'universal' caller.

If someone can fill a database full of embedding functions and call into that with a simple RAG, you'd have some very scary loop functionality going, as you loop through the function call-return-search space trying to answer things like "what is 42?"

Anyways, neat, define the context though.
I look forward to having uncensored versions of apps that don't force idiotic American puritanism on me. Who knows, maybe I'd also like to use a proper Python interpreter once in a while or a torrent client.
This reply completely misses the point.

Apple designed the whole system where paid apps, regardless of income, subsidize free apps, regardless of income.

It's of course true that some indie developers choose to participate in the system rather than not participate, because they individually find it worthwhile financially. But indie developers did not design the system. Neither did they negotiate the system with Apple. The choice is merely take it or leave it.

(Indeed, developers had to sue Apple in order to get the App Store Small Business Program 15% cut. That was a lawsuit settlement term.)
Before the buyouts Songtradr didn't have consumer-facing e-stores -- the company was primarily B2B. Epic is a consumer company, like Bandcamp and 7Digital (the two e-music shops bought by Songtradr).

Apple sells all types of digital goods - movies, music, and games/apps.

Google used to sell the same 3 types of digital goods, until they decided selling music instead of renting it is an anachronism.

A true merger of Epic Store and Bandcamp would give Epic a similar kind of positioning as Google and Apple. Come to our e-shop to buy and download digital goods.

Show HN: NativeVision, helping React Native devs to build XR apps for any device
Hello everyone,

We've discovered an open source library named Viro that hadn't been updated in over two years. We've revitalized the library, enabling the creation of XR apps on the latest iOS and Android platforms. Our goal is to transform NativeVision into a versatile library that can be used across various XR devices, including Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest.

Our aim is to make it easy for React developers to start working on XR projects using React Native or Expo, much like how they would for iOS or Android apps.

If you have any feedback please share as it helps a lot!
When I was a kid, I made pillow forts from the furniture in the living room. Fun times.

When I visited my brother this Christmas, he pointed out that this is an almost universal behaviour in young kids, which suggests that at some point in our evolutionary history we faced predators that specifically targeted small children.
Not true.

Replace "technologies" with "services and infrastructure" and you're close.

The DMA says that users should be able to choose other service- and infrastructure providers than Apple. Nobody's giving Dell or Microsoft a cut for every software install on a Dell PC, though I'm sure they'd love that.

I've yet to encounter anyone who cheers for Big tech in the EU, so I guess yes.

True in a way, but Google certainly benefits from having their OS on the majority of the world's smartphones.

A more apt comparison might be Microsoft, who has roughly the same market cap as Apple, while having their operating system be on so many more computers. They sell their OS, not give it away (like Android) so maybe more accurate?

But they don't have the quality, mindshare, or respect that most HN-ers give Apple, so in terms of success it doesn't appear to be just units shipped that matters most.
I really like this idea. There’s obviously a point where an idea crosses the membrane between individual human and human collective for the first time. And that is obviously not in universities anymore.
Ideally you want your customers to be your customers and not your products. That way, the incentives are aligned

My suggestion is that the more diffusive, small particles are less likely to be trapped by a lid. That could mean that larger, heavier bacteria follow more ballistic and less Brownian trajectories and their distribution would be affected more by putting the lid down.

The first time I saw that laptop was in the bar at a Hyatt. I am sure the lady thought I was a doofus but she was gracious enough to show it to me and let me open and close it a few times.

how to monetize?
> has already internalized the mapping from piece shape to movement

Magnus Carlson, considered one of - if not the - best chess players of all time has a famous video of him playing three chess matches simultaneously, blindfolded, and winning all three.

Once you get to a certain point not only the movements but also entire gameplay strategies become internalized.
Is it? If we are in a static environment, then it would mean it is possible, and that this intuition is wrong. Since we don't have a way of determining experimentally if is wrong or not, then at least for now it does not even help us quantify the odds. If we're not in a static environment, then maybe, maybe not - we don't know what the subject experience of consciousness is at all.

We so far have no way of splitting perception or conscience down in slices of ever shorter moments to see where it stops being whatever it is and becomes something "inert", but even if we did, we would not know whether that was an inherent limitation of objective reality or of our subjective reality and whether those two are the same or not.
It's awesome that you have this experience.

So, to be clear, competition – with rewards, prizes, and medals – is a form of extrinsic motivation. Extrinsic motivation is often very powerful (gun at your head – also an extrinsic motivator – will motivate you to do what's asked). The problem, though, is that it's short-lived.

So if you were a sports minister who tries to maximize people's involvement in sports (at all ages), you would prefer to have more intrinsic motivation to sports, rather then extrinsic.
At one point I had a portable keyboard for my palm pilot that used similar folding tech. The keyboard when folded was very small - about the size of an iPhone in a large case.

I'm surprised nobody has released a bluetooth version of this keyboard for the iPad, I know I would buy one.
