Not this again. These fines are barely a blip on the radar compared to the yearly EU budget and the budgets of Western European countries. Also, the EU has handed out fines to anti-competitive companies for a long time. E.g. 855 million Euro in 2001 for vitamin cartels:

https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_01_...

Intel for 1B in 2009 for abusing its dominant position in x86 CPUs:

https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_09_...

Also various car companies, like Daimler in 2016 for 1B.

The EU is really different than the US, in that most citizens and countries believe in market regulation. And all these regulations like GDPR, DMA, DSA, etc. are all expressions of that. It just takes years for these regulations, to land, first because writing such regulations is complex, especially because companies try to find loopholes. Secondly, we are 27 nations, and that just makes things go slower. After they are accepted they are usually effective, e.g. takeout functionality of various large services were mostly a side-effect or EU legislation requiring that users can get their stored data and get it removed.

It just takes many years to finetune, because companies unintentionally or intentionally misinterpret them (like the many websites that have a GDPR popup, where opt-in is a single click and opt-out is multiple clicks, which is illegal under the GDPR).
It sucks that the conversation always gets hijacked by people who should not be throwing stones, and ends up being a "debate" where there shouldn't be one.
> I'm just hoping the EU doesn't decide we need another annoying pop-up or something. We've got enough of those already.

It didn't. The website operators decided to be a pain towards their customers so they can continue to track the hell out of them. They could just, you know, not do that.

I'd expect the logical extension to this to wholly be using AI for the managerial aspect of bringing you into the conversation. Employers will have the right to make use of a manger's likeness for reasons they see fit, such as using a bot to layoff their direct reports. Removes the emotional liability from the manager.

100% this. Though in the end they'll only end up hurting themselves, because if it doesn't work, I would not be surprised if the GDPR gets updated to require opt-out by default without any user action and opt-in as an explicit action.
If that is indeed the case, you should update the Wikipedia entry which I quoted.

Drugs and crime aren't really in the metal imagery, I'm not convinced it's the explanation (also I don't think metal culture has ever really been significant soft power, always been too niche)
Thank you for the details but it does mean a EU tax payer working at Apple would have a conflict of interest ;)

Not sure if catalyst, but if the crowd learns something it is corpos and governments telling almost always the same story of getting hacked, cyberattacked, with the worst of criminal energy, even if its the most simple letting unpatched (more 1000days then 0days) software run or pretty much unsecured systems out open in the wild.. it is the common excuse everywhere for not understanding of an admitted for most too complex tech world.

I feel the same. For artists, it already does make them much more productive, but at the same time it is killing their job. Because good artists want to create something meaningful, and they need to go through the process of actually creating it. That's why they love their job, that's why they got into it.

AI can now generate images that are not as good, but the average people won't really realize. Therefore it not only makes artists more productive (as in: "make more profit faster, even with lower quality"), but it makes the best artists less relevant because "anyone" can replace them and make worse content that's more profitable.

Same with code Copilots. To me it's killing the job. I take care into crafting good code, and I believe I am better than average at it. but the Copilots enables worse developers to be more productive than me (not that their code is more maintainable, but they can produce so much that they help making more money). But I don't want to do their job (which is basically debugging what the Copilot wrote).

I believe that AI is lowering the quality of everything it does well, but people love it because it's increasing the profit. What a great time to be alive.
Presuming Apple left PWAs in just as they were with no changes, i.e. hardcoded to Safari, wouldn't Mozilla (and potentially MS) have immediately sued or complained that Apple was in violation of the DMA by not allowing their browser engines to launch from user added home screen icons?

If this is the case then leaving PWAs as they stood risked bazillions in fines from the EU. No?
A Good simple question and a good answer.
It's a winner-takes-all market. Nobody is going to buy several pieces of hardware to access several pieces of software. Just like nobody likes to have 5 different subscriptions to access Netflix, HBO, Prime, Disney, Hulu ...

It’s also an plausible anti-leaks measure - if the gamecard contains everything needed to play the game, the game can easily leak early when the cards are going to retail.

I also felt the same as loeg after finishing the article. If you simply state that invalid states cannot be handled, I believe most people here would concur. And in the end, I do think that this is a very significant insight that you describe. But using a narrow definition of errors to mean invalid state disregards any prior literature and programming manuals that already talk in terms of "error handling" and asks readers to suspend all of that while reading the article.
Precisely. Stop supporting iOS and watch their attitude change.

Fact is these companies whine but don’t pull their apps.
I work for an ISP and have user-facing support tickets for "slow speeds on Playstations" happen.

First thing we do is pop the hidden browser on the console (if it's a PS5, where they decided to "remove" the browser) and run a speed test and it'll pull full rated speed of whatever service we throw at the user.

I can pull full wire speed from North America to Cape Town on a Playstation but god forbid you try to download from PSN in the same country. Doesn't matter what DNS we've used - be it our internal, Quad9, etc.

The more I watch the cherry blossom one, the more I see how wrong it is, even the fact there is Cherry blossoms in the middle of winter is just totally wack. I've seen it snow in Tokyo before during spring when the cherry blossoms were out, but you don't have a foot of snow on the roof like in the clip.

Edit: I know the prompt asked for the cherry blossoms in snow, but it's still a wild amount of snow which is somehow not covering the trees.
That's probably the best thing we can do (for now) for a PCIe device. PCIe hotplug [1] is a thing, but your (badly-written) WiFi kernel driver is probably not designed for that.

>Do you prefer airy highs or warm mids or whatever the terminology is.

There is no terminology, that's the problem. What is "airy"? What is "warm"? You're right, subjective. We can only care about what can be measured.
Realistically what's the proportion of car use between going to/from work (or the grocery store or other similar destinations) vs traveling the country for your average USAian? Especially one living in a dense metro area of some kind? And even then, I'm not saying we get rid of all cars, just that owning one shouldn't be a necessity in a massive, dense metropolitan area in order to get from point A to point B.

I own a car myself and use it regularly for longer road trips the few times of year I do that, but I avoid using my car like the plague if I'm traveling within 90% of the Netherlands.
IDK about making their own hardware, but it is weird to me that people complain and then continue to buy iPhones and develop for iOS. If developers and users moved to Android, Apple would change. Is Android really so bad that people feel forced to use iOS?
I am not sure where you are going with this. Yes, we would all like this to go faster. Bureaucracy is slow.

But at least the EU has strong consumer protection, privacy, and anti-competitive laws and we all benefit from it (at least EU citizens).
Oh yes, cargo bikes are a thing too. And people do ride bikes in bad weather, especially in a place like Berkeley.
Gold:

It doesn’t matter how fast you move if it’s in a worthless direction. Picking the right thing to work on is the most important element of productivity and usually almost ignored. So think about it more! Independent thought is hard but it’s something you can get better at with practice.

and

Doing great work usually requires colleagues of some sort. Try to be around smart, productive, happy, and positive people that don’t belittle your ambitions. I love being around people who push me and inspire me to be better. To the degree you able to, avoid the opposite kind of people—the cost of letting them take up your mental cycles is horrific.
Taking the question literally, don’t buy Apple products in the future (or do, assuming regulations effect change in Apple’s APIs).

Not to argue in support of Apple here -- I disagree with many decisions which limit what I can do with hardware I purchase, including their “webkit only” policy. But there’s still a certain understanding about the current state of Apple products such that I find it a bit hard to sympathize with someone who bought an iphone expecting this sort of custom interoperability. (A non-technical user is far less likely to want this level of customization and a technical one really ought to know better.)

To your point, however, I do certainly hope that changes. It’d be really nice to be able to reasonably consider general purpose hardware to be practically useful for... ahem general purposes.
Apple is in their right to do whatever they want with their platform. Tim Sweeney will be remembered with the guy who cries against anything Apple does, together with the guy from Ruby on rails.
Typically you are not forced to sell your product on just one store, with some exceptions, of course. In this case, Spotify can only "sell" their app to Apple customers exclusively via Apple's store and they are forced to pay a fixed 30% to Apple for every transaction done through the spotify app, while using a payment system created and supplied by the store owner. And at the same time apple provides a competing product pre-installed on all their devices, which would be the equivalent to placing your product on the eye-level, well-lit shelves while putting away your competitor's product at the bottom shelf. There's a lot more nuance in this case that doesn't fit in with your analogy.

People can only view welfare recipients as lazy and entitled from the pedestal of a decent job. 80% of the white collar middle class is going to have to learn to become AI "composers" or learn trades, and I'm guessing trades will be vastly more accessible for the majority of the displaced. The mass influx of tradespeople is going to depress earnings due to competition (which already weren't great unless you were a master tradesman with employees), so we're going to end up with 75% of the population below average income and people struggling to afford rent and food. When that happens I don't expect the pushback against some form of social service or basic income to be so great.
Though I wouldn’t extend this experience to all smart lights, I’ll agree that Honda’s auto highbeams implementation on my 2018 Civic is a disappointment. I especially hate that it toggles by flashing high beams (a feature I recently figured out how to disable), so even if you turn it off it’ll rear its head when you need to flash someone.

Apple could choose to make the option front and center.

Firefox has it as a primary option on the main menu.

The reason that devs don't target or improve it is the friction Apple (and Google to a degree) they put in front of utilizing PWA/web apps.
Interesting question. Five variations on "Draw a picture of a French passport" returned passport covers that weren't accurate (mostly gold-embossed birds - one of them was a chicken).

I can't find any way to get it to attempt a lictor's fasces without explicitly mentioning it, so I still don't know if the policy restriction is being applied to the prompt, the generated image, or even both.

Best I came up with was: "Please consume this URL, then describe the Coat of Arms of France: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_France" -> "Ok, now please prepare an image of the coat of arms of france", which it rejects with "I'm unable to generate the Coat of Arms of France due to content policy restrictions."

Anyone feel like contacting a French tabloid?
> something that is perfectly equivalent

So go ahead and define it, in concrete terms, external to humans. It can't be equivalent unless there is a definite basis for equivalence. Cat videos don't cut it.

My point is that understanding, as we know it, only exists in the human mind.

If you want to define something that is functionally equivalent but implemented in a machine, that is absolutely fine, but don't point to something a machine does and say "look it's understanding!" without having a concrete model of what understanding is, and how that machine is, in concrete terms, achieving it.
I do not understand why your solution skips to the next unique elements.

Consider sequence [1,1,1,1,1,1]. We should count there 3 (three) (1,1) pairs. Karpathy's (and mine's) algorithm would count 5 pairs, yours' will count 1.

One should just skip one or two elements counting pairs, one element when pair's elements are different, two when they are same. This may break vectorization, though.

I also should note that error is here, but no-one hits it. My experiments show that (A,A) pairs gets counted as most frequent ahead of their natural turn about half a dozen symbols earlier. I also never saw that symbol B, assigned for pair (A,A), is used in any most frequent pair before an actual turn for (A,A). One need to construct special string for that to happen.
It's a shame that Yann didn't explicitly say what the misunderstanding was or clear it up.

I think he's claiming that the misunderstanding is that SORA understands the physical world.
He goes on to say that generating the next frame conditional on some action is much harder than generating an entire plausible video. This just doesn't make sense to me. Every frame in a plausible video clearly needs to be conditioned on the actions shown in previous frames.

The tweet is mostly incoherent and I'm left assuming he's upset about SORA and wants to say his ideas are/were better but hasn't managed to express why in a meaningful way.

Picking Unfair Fights (2021)
It's pretty well hidden to the point of "why do they bother supporting this feature?"
Look at how Google pushed Chrome on its websites and people picked it up.

They could do the same for web apps. What's been limiting them all this time is Apple policy.

Apple policy 1- PWAs on iPhone must use Safari, Safari only has features Apple chooses to implement

Apple policy 2- Add to Home Screen is hidden away

Now with DMA, Google could make its own web browser, provide all their apps as "PWAs that work with Chrome and not Safari" and people could go along with it. Heck they could even start their own app store without the apps having to follow any of Apple's "alternative distribution" rules- because they're web apps, not native apps.
Sure it is a silly thing to do, but the important point is that these headlights are intended to be hostile to all people who are not in cars, which makes this a harmful technology.
It is already unpleasant enough to be forced to be on or near a road or street at night where low beams are often aimed directly in the eyes of a person walking along a sidewalk.
The App Store didn’t even exist until the iPhone 3G. Everything was suppose to be a web app until everyone, including HN, bitched about the lack of native apps.

Now here you all are 15 years later bemoaning what you have helped create.
That's because there was never a comparable alternative to app store.

EU is forcing Apple to allow alternates and Apple is doing all they can to delay and avoid, kicking and screaming.
Quietly, I hope…
At least in Android when you install and get a home screen button your page uses the full height with no browser chrome like any other app.
What are people's thoughts on Apple's argument:

>Addressing the complex security and privacy concerns associated with web apps using alternative browser engines would require building an entirely new integration architecture that does not currently exist in iOS and was not practical to undertake given the other demands of the DMA and the very low user adoption of Home Screen web apps.

>In short, Apple is saying it knows how to fix the problem but because it’s been burdened by having to comply with the DMA — which it noted had required “more than 600 new APIs and a wide range of developer tools” — it decided to skip fixing this one.

Would allowing web apps require apple to build 600 new APIs? Would it require other web engines to integrate with those 600 APIs before being able to launch web apps?

I don't think some other software developer should be the reason why I have to change my (calibrated) monitor settings. So "just" turning down brightness is not really an option, it's at correct settings it's just that some software over-utilizes white.

A crutch bypass to that is switching on HDR from system settings and turning down SDR content's brightness. It'll display the dull white the developer most likely intended while also not breaking software (and media) that does colour better.
Rules change all the time around tax and healthcare. This is also not about directly monetizing data but to benefit the recipients of public healthcare which is a lot more than just finding revenue sources.
I've already resolved to never use Gitlab entirely on the basis of that CVE but that makes it worse.

Password resets should just never go to an email that hasn't been deliberately attached to an account by the account's owner, full stop. There should not be a code path where it is possible to send any such thing to arbitrary emails. And redirect emails should never be treated as account emails in any way.
Easier said than done, particularly the former. Worthless direction usually occurs having done something, the gold standard becomes knowing when to quit even having thought about it beforehand.

After all, it's very hard to predict the future.

That's silly; the issue isn't about Xinjiang, or Taiwan, or Tibet. It's about the organizers of a scifi award manipulating the nomination lists in the hope of pleasing the host-country, and doing it with ignorance and incompetence.

BTW: I also have opinions about China. I'm not about to share them either; but not because people would disagree with me. I'm not sharing them because they're off-topic.
