Do you understand the reasoning though? The explanation says the tool is responsible for "installing homebrew", but also that the developers this thing is for "refuse to install homebrew". Seems paradoxical.

But if this blog post gets Apple to improve their code signing process, then it does have value :)
Wikipedia says there are prototype railguns that can shoot at 3km/s now (wording: "can regulary exceed 3km/s")... are we at a point now where I could put a rail gun and a bunch of solar panels and batteries on the moon and just shoot (tiny) stuff into orbit?

Not like the rocks on the moon are that useful for anything, but....

Apparently it's about a command line tool that's not downloaded and started on the command line, but instead downloaded in a browser and started by double clicking in the Finder (apparently for non-technical users?). TBF, this also wouldn't work on Windows without an expensive EV code signing certificate (which isn't exactly trivial to use with GH Actions either: https://melatonin.dev/blog/how-to-code-sign-windows-installe...)

...from what I'm seeing on macOS, downloading and running a cmdline tool (built with the Xcode cmdline toolchain on GH Actions) inside the terminal still works without all the hassle described in the article - of course I wouldn't be surprised if that stopped working too one day :/

PS: I kinda wish that operating systems had builtin WASI runners for this kind of bootstrapping work.
All the victorious powers of WWII oppressed large groups of people. The British had a vast overseas empire of subjugated nations, the French too. In case of the Soviet Union, the empire was land-based and contiguous, but using even more brutal methods to keep undesirables in check, and the US was still a very explicitly racist place.

The Nazis "just" topped all of these in sheer brutality (well, Stalin might have been their peer) and commitment not just to oppress, but exterminate.

That said, without their empires providing resources, the Allies could have lost. Smaller countries were just overrun by the Nazis with rarely more than a month of fighting. It wasn't as easy to overrun the British Empire.
Yes, elected for a limited five year term (ideally I'd hope with oversight and a mechanism to remove) coupled with an upper house of sorts with lifetime appointments.

Lifetime appointments are a bad idea, for lords, judges, or politicians.

The record was established in a jet-engined helicopter, whose service ceiling is largely a function of engine power at appropriate altitudes (e.g. it varies a lot with temperature and humidity).
My company ships a simple CLI, it's written in Node.js so it can be installed on any platform using npm. A a Docker image is also provided. Most of the target audience has either of these installed.
I guess this whole subthread is based on the assumption that non-US servers are somehow more safe than US servers; I completely agree that's obviously not true, I just want to point out that allies ratified shenanigans to pull between each other to stay compliant with internal regulations on paper but in truth have access to everything about everyone: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes

> Ok, so I gotta ask - why package it at all? I'd never recommend it for a public tool, but in an internal, trusted environment, why not post a "curl ... | sh" command?

Because I don't want to install some tools on my PC just to build _your tool_. A packaged application is less complicated for the final user to use it.

Looks super cool! Clearly an idea that people want - I built something similar to this almost two year ago [1] but your project is a lot more fleshed out. I like that you actually used websockets instead of my hacky approach of using an http stream.

I really loved the idea of fixup + rebase, but of course we didn't have an example here :)

So I spend half an hour to learn about git shell commands in aliases (had to learn the hardware that arguments require functions) and came up with the following.

fixup = "!f() { git commit --fixup ${1} && GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR=true git rebase --autosquash --interactive --rebase-merges \"${1}~1\"; }; f"

The embedded Rust story, at least for small projects on cortex series MCUs is pretty good. There is embedded-hal which just reached v1.0. This lets anyone to write a HAL against those traits and have drivers and application code across the whole ecosystem be compatible. Traits make it very easy to write portable code. STM32 series have good, relatively fully featured HAL crates.

On the tooling side, probe-rs is very nice and lets you get up and running with RTT + debug quickly.

The RTOS ecosystem is vibrant. Of note:

- The focus of most iot development seems to be embassy-rs

- I am building a project with hard real-time guarantees with RTIC and it's been pretty straightforward so far

- Oxide's Hubris looks interesting

If I were going to write a relatively simple, very high reliability system on an STM32 platform, I would do it in Rust without hesitation. (I am currently doing exactly this)
Can't both be done? Everyone understood semiconductors will be the oil of the next wars when the covid supply chain disruption happened. The next few years have just been everyone trying to figure out what to do so they don't have to modify designs in times of war.
Who defines love, fear and jealousy?

I am not sure what do you mean by your question. Exact definitions of societal phenomena are rarely possible and usually unhelpful; humans are very far from pure maths, where exact definitions matter the most.

Or are you looking for people who determine what counts as high status in certain groups? That is a more interesting question. It seems to be a somewhat emergent phenomena, but a bit malleable from the outside.
Well, as hardware becomes more and more powerful, what's possible in a small footprint becomes bigger and bigger. And distributed software for disaggregated storage is becoming more accessible. You put these two together, running on-prem footprints at the scale of 50-100M$ capex makes a lot of sense. In my personal experience, at this scale, (if your cloud bill for compute+storage+local-network is $50M+/year), you can get 2-4x more on-prem private-cloud capacity for the same money. Of course, this only makes sense if you have an in-house software engineering team already and the marginal cost of adding another 50-100 engineers to build and operate this is strategically valuable to your business.

In big data AI space, this is exactly what's happening with the top 20th to 100th companies in the world right now.
Wouldn’t it be easier to do what Sora might want to do by training models inside a physics engine? For example, training a model exclusively to generate videos from Unreal Engine 5. Based on predefined physics rules in the engine, it would be impossible to generate something that breaks the rules.
Agreed, I've had a similar experience. So I'd be fine with limited public visibility, and I think my experience won't even change if google loses access. However if it's done with robots.txt, does tha tmean algolias crawler will also lose access? That would be a shame, but even then it might be worth it on balance.
> I still don't get how people believe one can make money out of other people's creative works (on a mass scale at that) and get away with it.

They saw Uber get away with it's thing, so they're going to try to get away with theirs. IIRC, when Uber was new, it was literally illegal in many/most of the places it operated.
Just to be clear, what is your stance on moderating hate speech on social platforms?
The author wrote the following concerning a curl option:

"""So, what can we do with all of this? We have a few options, but none of them are particularly appealing. ...

Download the file with curl. Unix command-line tools like curl and tar don’t add the quarantine bit to the files they create on macOS, so it’s pretty easy to run software downloaded with them.

Unfortunately, the repository where this tool is developed is private, so unauthenticated curl downloads won’t work. I’m seriously considering asking the CTO if we can make the repository public solely so we can use curl as a distribution mechanism. I could even write a platform-detecting shell script!
"""

The "curl ... | sh" technique could get pass through the authentication information for a subsequent curl call, but then authentication becomes a facade.
What about the reason of "followers can read it in their feed without navigating away to a separate domain"?

Both are pretty difficult models to pull off because none of the above has the edge Taiwan has, which is cheap skilled labor.

Until you can match labor cost with automation, it's DOA, regardless of how good your fabs are, and the automation isn't there yet.

Therea an extremely strong loud section of people who declare this to be true, but I don't see that. I don't see how they see that.

I read blink-dev a couple times a year pretty closely. This does not look like the destruction of the web. It looks like a team collaborating well with standards bodies, experimenting responsibly with origin trials, and pouring in huge effort to this engine.
You call MSI a good experience until you had to create one.
Thank you for the demonstration that the term "USAsian" is intended as a slur.
Thanks! There’s no file upload component currently but I plan to add it soon.
It seems strange to try and make a sandboxed tool to perform work which is not sandboxed at all...

There is a class of macOS applications which can perform such functions and they're called Packages or Distributions (it's the wizard you see sometimes when an app needs to make changes to the system before you can use it). That's the way to deliver such applications from a downloadable source. Packages can be signed and notarised and none of the crazy workarounds listed in the post will be necessary.
Oh, don't worry about that. In repressive regimes, people are already denied access to anything useful (like say GPT-4) because of the sanctions.
This video passed my feed a few times already and I never really watched it until I read this HN title.

I think my brain has reached a point that it actively avoids clickbait, extravagant, dramatic titles and thumbnails. To me this HN title is much better because it says "supersonic" and now I immediately know what the video is about, as opposed to "unintuitive discovery".

Am I the only one who is expericing this behavior?

And if not, is it finally time to stop using clickbait titles and thumbnails?
That's why I added the bit about downloading master/main.zip. You can do that from the logged in browser and it's still around the same number of steps as installing a custom package and running it. (Login. Download the package/script. Install the package or unzip the script. Run it.)
I never said generative AI was itself capable of creativity. Generative AI is a tool, not an entity. I said it enables more people to be creative, in the same way that other tools like Photoshop enable more people to be creative. Using a sampler to create a song rather than arranging and playing all the instruments doesn’t make it less creative, or devoid of creativity. It’s just a different, more accessible form of expression, enabled by technology.

I agree that generative AI, due to its nature, trends toward the average and thus is incapable of engaging with the extremes of human experience—but not every creative expression has to be at the extreme. Every Marvel film, every shovelware game, every summer pop jam, panders to the average. There’s enormous value in having a tool that allows professional artists to work more quickly at the average—and, perhaps more critically, for everyday people to approach the average in the first place. I don’t believe it is fair to suggest that such things are valueless “not ART”, but I’m not definitely not here to engage in philosophical discussion of the definition of “art”.

As far as history goes, I did provide a citation, which I encourage you to actually look at (and it cites several dozen more books and other articles if you need more primary sources). You are objectively incorrect in your assertion that the phonograph facilitated the growth of live music(ians), but I suspect you may not even understand what is meant by “live musicians”—not because of you, but because the phonograph was so revolutionary that it fundamentally changed what it meant to be a musician—and even redefined what a “song” is[0].

It is only with the benefit of hindsight that you can state so confidently that audio recording is a net benefit to music. Many felt that the phonograph was an abomination at its conception. They claimed that the essence of music was in its ephemeral nature, that the uniqueness of each performance contained the creative expression and the sheet music itself was just a skeleton for creativity. They said mechanical recordings deprived listeners of the true experience, and that individual artists lost their autonomy. They spoke in terms exactly like you are now, and those ideas were wrong then, and they are almost certainly wrong now.

While we have no idea what kinds of landscapes and terribly esoteric environments life in some form could endure (since our only basis for comparison is the flora and fauna of our own evolutionary tree), I always though it was absurd to assume life on Titan just because it has water. The conditions out by the orbit of Saturn are hellish, even for a body of water protected by a vast surface shield of hard material.

Thanks for running through the benchmark! Just to clarify some things:
(1) The idea is that LlamaParse's markdown representation lends itself to the rest of LlamaIndex advanced indexing/retrieval abstractions. Recursive retrieval is a fancy retrieval method designed to model documents with embedded objects, but depends on good PDF parsing. Naive PyPDF parsing can't be used with recursive retrieval. Our goal is to demonstrate the e2e RAG capabilities of LlamaParse + advanced retrieval vs. what you can build with a naive PDF parser.

(2). Since we use LLM-based evals, your correctness and relevancy metric look to be consistent and within margin of error (and lower than our llamaparse metrics). The faithfulness score seems way off though and quite high from your side, so not sure what's going on there. maybe hop in our discord and share the results in our channel?
As an employee of a corporation, I often speak my mind. The most I risk is being fired, and I believe I can find another job relatively easy. I sometimes do keep my mouth shut, because saying the truth would get me some sour looks, and I don't feel like dealing with that right now.

I lived for a few years behind the iron curtain, in an actual honest to god dictatorship. The fear pervading and perverting society was palpable. Say the wrong thing at the wrong time and you might die, and your family will suffer too. Not to mention destroying your career and social status. Best to lie most of the time, even to realtives. You never know who to trust, and the price of a mistake is enormous.

From the way you phrased your question, I get the feeling you have no idea what a dictatorship is like. The two are only very superficially similar. Look at how Navalny ended up vs Ilya Sutskever.

Yes. I worked in social networks 15 years ago. It was a heavy research topic for me.

You're a highly technical user. Non-technical people are weird - part of the MySpace exodus was the belief that it spread "computer viruses", really

There was more to the switches but I'd have to dredge it up probably through archive sites these days. The reasons the surveys supported I considered ridiculous but it doesn't matter it's better to understand consumer behavior - we can't easily change it.

Especially these days. It was not possible for me to be a teenager with high speed wi-fi when I was one 30 years ago. I've got near zero understanding of the modern consumer youth market or what they think. Against all my expectations I've become an old person.

Anyways, the freeform HTML was a major driver - it was geocities with less effort, which had also exited through a liquidity event and currently has a clone these days https://neocities.org/browse
Given the timing, I can't help but wonder if somehow I'm the cause. I had this conversation with ChatGPT 3.5 yesterday:

https://chat.openai.com/share/9e4d888c-1bff-495a-9b89-8544c0...

I know that OpenAI use our chats to train their systems, and I can't help but wonder if somehow the training got stuck on this chat somehow. I sincerely doubt it, but...
It is really hard to read this for me.
How can anyone think that it is harder to write a proper monolith than implementing a distributed architecture?

If you just follow the SOLID principles, you're already 90% there.
If your team doesn't have the knowledge (it's not just "discipline", because every proper developer should know that they will make it harder for everyone including themselves if they don't follow proper architecture) to write structured code, letting them loose on a distributed system will make things much, much worse.
This is really specific, but for this point in the article:

> There’s a long guide on Embedding a Command-Line Tool in a Sandboxed App, so I followed that, and then slowly, painfully, factored Xcode out of it, so that I wouldn’t have to figure out how to get a 10GB Xcode install onto the CI machine (remember, you need to be signed in to an Apple ID to download Xcode, and there’s no way to do it from the command-line).

You could actually solve this with Rust and no Xcode whatsoever. cacao [1] and cargo-bundle [2] will produce an app bundle you could sign/notarize/distribute without needing to ever open Xcode.

[1] https://github.com/ryanmcgrath/cacao
[2] https://github.com/burtonageo/cargo-bundle

You wouldn't need to tangle with Swift, would only need enough Rust to hoist whatever script you're trying to run.

In general though I find the article a bit odd - there are also quite a few examples of signing/notarizing/etc for GitHub Actions out there already, I went through this exercise a week ago and it wasn't that bad.

Edit: Hell, you could also potentially just bundle your scripts up into a `.pkg` installer
I think kubernetes has partly been about not relaying directly on all these cloud services anymore. Sure AWS and friends have 200+ services that you could use, and if you do use all of them, it would be hard to move to oxide.

Many applications don't depend on all that stuff, just vm, storage and db. Partly that is by design so the application can be deployed in different clouds. Also older application that moved to the cloud.
I assure you that the % of people that care about this to the degree that they’d go this far off the beaten track is far from being large enough for any TV manufacturer to care about, let alone for it to be worth it to them to change their product direction in any meaningful way. This is fanfic plain and simple.
Interesting! 2 makes me wonder if it could work as a very bad but space efficient key-value store ;D
Or just a parody of accelerationist logic. There are so many fools on the internet that you often can't tell the fake fools from the real ones unless they give themselves away.
And why not respect the platform you want to support? Just like you get various Linux/BSD distros and they all have a different take on packaging and distributions... you also have the way macOS does it. There is no inherent expectation that "what I do on Linux" will work on macOS... or every Linux even.
HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey had also suffered from a similar situation.
I think it is good idea to delegate QA to shops. It aligns the incentives to don't sell me crap.

And I have no clue about what dishwasher is crap or not, and they do.

I wonder what amount of years would be good for an absolute guarantee. Maybe something like 10 years and then 5 years of some limited sort?

The guarantee probably need some odometer limit though to prevent commercial or multi housing usage on the long guarantee.
But.... if you did confirm two addresses, wouldn't the second one be suspicious solely because... if you're confirming it... it means you actually did something besides click a button right? And if it wasnt an address you owned?
This post describes installing a script to install other things. So that decision's already been made in this case.
If the company was capable of solving those problems, the parent wouldn't be complaining...

Instead it just piles up "hack days" on top of those
> Are people up to the task of doing all this?

No. Anyone who thinks they are is deluding themselves. There is no such thing as a setup that is 100% secure against human error (and nobody is infallible) or a sufficiently motivated and skilled attacker (and there are supreme amounts of motivation here).

The core problem is the lack of legal recourse. Anonymous, irreversible, distributed transactions for money are a really fucking stupid idea.
CVXpy is a frontend that transforms problems into a form that different solvers can understand.

It does make it very easy to format problems in Python but you still need a solver like Gurobi on the backend. You can use a variety of solvers on the same problem though, which is nice:

https://www.cvxpy.org/tutorial/advanced/index.html#choosing-...

My understanding is that Gurobi the best -- but also the most expensive.
Use of decimal point is 1.5 centuries older than historians thought
Hm, this doesn't match my experience at all, I just use rcodesign (the third party rust tool), some plist and xar magic (that I honestly forgot) and call it a day

it's sad that we need third party tool to be able to codesign and notarize effectively (and from other OSes and CIs), but it works now

but maybe I miss something that the author needed and I didn't. The hardest part was cross-compiling for macOS but we did it too with these images from elasticsearch
