Build your own iPhone(EU-Phone) and sell it then. It's 18 year old technology, can't be that hard.

For the human eye maybe. For a computer using statistics less so. Extracting signals under a mountain of noise is a long solved problem - all our modern communication is based on it.
Could you be more specific? To me, both articles seem to make similar arguments regarding cost vs. distuption.
Compared to proper solutions (educating people, properly punishing offenders with no parole) these other solutions look like a workaround. Government is apparently helpless and shifting the solution to the people - just like in school shootings.
Yeah. It has been fun to see commentators try valiantly to blame you-know-who for it, and for investigations by friendly governments mysteriously turn up nothing. We dunno who did it! It’s a real head scratcher!
RCMP investigating cyber attack as its website remains down
It's nothing to do with that really. It's much more to do with the gen10 (Gxxx) Mali requiring a completely new kernel driver. Given that nouveau and other drivers required the same thing, this ended up being a long diversion into a lot of new common DRM infrastructure to make things easier for the next drivers who need to do the same thing. By comparison, enabling gen9 in the kernel was more like adding a couple of device IDs. See bbrezillon & dakr's talk here for more details: https://indico.freedesktop.org/event/4/contributions/181/

>Without detailed records it's hard to take such anecdotes at face value.

Well it's pretty easy for millions of people to notice when it's the face value of their currency which has rapidly lost quite a bit of meaning.

When you do the math, it's a little too late now, the currency has lost more face value than the "anecdotes".

It doesn't even need to be at this scale, there are many situations where the data is so overwhelming that even non-recordkeeping below-average observers can build a more accurate picture than some twice-removed lesser mathematicians looking only at kilos of numerals.

And that's when the economists have a truly neutral agenda.

Also keep in mind, sometimes the most valuable data is never recorded but it's still data. Sometimes the most accurate data is recorded but it's so sensitive that it's not the least bit available, so might as well not have been recorded anyway.

Edit: not my downvote, I understand where you're coming from.
That's a very generalized statement. We leased a brand new fiat panda before and now have a 20 year old Subaru. Ive seen videos of both crashing and there is nothing better about the fiat.

> "colorless" (which is always a lie)

No, colourless isn't a lie. Erlang doesn't have two types of function (sync and async). C#/Python now do. As a function/method implementer in those languages, for every single function implementation, I am faced with the following:

1. My function has to be async, because someone, somewhere, in the call chain of functions I want to invoke, decided to make their function async. So I have to deal with the downsides (lower performance, debugging complexity) whether I need the upsides or not.

2. I need to decide whether to make my function async because the decision hasn't been taken out my hands somewhere down the call stack. If I'm writing a library function that means I'm now having to judge how callers will use my function. If I decide async, then I've imposed constraints on the caller as per #1.

3. I need to implement sync & async versions of my function so as not to constrain the choices of my callers.

That emerges because of (1) the asymmetric constraint imposed by async/await and (2) the requirement for function implementers to make the decision, not callers. A sync function can't call an async one. That's the basis of colouring. It's not a lie.

> the article about function coloring is actively harmful to the industry

No, the article about colouring very clearly explains the asymmetric nature of sync/async and the limitation it imposes. Its use of colour as a metaphor very clearly illustrates the issue. Sure, there's a risk that some people won't fully read and understand it - and then just parrot "yeah, coloured is bad". That's not the fault of the article though.

There's nothing inherently wrong with Futures as a concurrency construct: it's essentially enabling cooperative multitasking. The issue is that async/await as an implementation causes codebase bifurcation.

> all BEAM-based languages are comparatively slow

Emphasis on "comparative". I don't disagree that in certain dimensions - notably raw compute performance and memory usage - BEAM languages are comfortably down the benchmark tables compared to C#. That doesn't always translate to real world practicality though (and even throughput is getting better given the active JIT work).

> developers are insistent on parroting quotes said 10 to 15 years ago instead of at least attempting to assess technologies on their merits of today.

Futures have merit per above. Async/await brings syntactic convenience which, in isolation, is an improvement. But with it comes significant cost. Cost that isn't there with green threads and isn't intrinsic to Futures either. You can't just sweep those limitations under the carpet by promulgating the hubris that the arguments are old.

My modestly successful Show HN for my last project [0] was the third time I'd submitted it - the first two got no traction at all. It does feel like luck of the draw sometimes, and it can be very demotivating.

At least HN tolerates reposts if you don't get any attention the first time round [1]; if your launch bombs on ProductHunt, you don't get a second chance (ask me how I know!)

On gsky's about HN traffic lasting two days - that was definitely my experience, though if it's interesting enough it'll likely get picked up by other sites too. Blogs, podcasts etc are always picking stuff up from Reddit and HN.

A device like the Rabbit r1 looks promising. You don't technically need to run inference on the same device. We're still a few years away from making this efficient and small enough to run locally, but there is a lot of potential for the next generation of AI assistants to revolutionize how computing is done, and have mass market appeal.

I'm surprised that Apple hasn't jumped on this yet. All the building blocks are in place to make a revolutionary device possible. It just needs to be very polished, and have great UX, which is what Apple typically excels at.

I'm born and raised in Norway, but I have to say that I wince whenever someone refers to us as "Vikings" in any capacity - it is almost exclusively a thing that foreigners/outsiders do, sans a small subculture of people here that enjoy Viking LARPING.

But, anyway:

When I grew up (30+ years ago) we did spend most of our time outside. Playing soccer, biking around, exploring the hillsides, building tree huts/house, playing along the shoreline, and so on.

If we were lucky, we would get an hour to play some NES/SNES/etc., but that was the exception. I especially remember our grandparents just sending us straight out, no mater what - they had a saying "Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlige klær" which translates to "There's no bad weather, only bad clothing" - so we would be outside playing in all kinds of shitty weather. The "bad weather" excuse has always been a faux pas thing here, which gets hammered down from early on.

Seeing strollers outside feels completely natural to me, that's just how things have always been.

I also lived in Finland and Sweden a couple of year growing up - same same, but different. 90% of my childhood memories consists of playing outside in rain, sleet, sunshine or snow.

> ... ie build 10 identical ...

It seems unlikely that a cookie cutter design could just be emplaced in different areas without running into problems in the environmental reviews. Different local conditions would presumably require different local considerations.

Projects can get shut down because Red Spotted Scuttlers are spotted in the local area. Or the local laws require different pollution controls. This is a facet of why I say "literally illegal" - I don't think your plan can be executed in a reliable sense while being legally on the straight and narrow path. Certainly not if activist groups start looking to take a project out by lawfare.

It is a good idea, but to pull it off requires that nobody wants the project to fail. If someone goes looking it probably breaks rules.

What a silly needlessly polarizing sentiment. What we should make illegal is for countries that have the means and know-how to provide on-demand emission-free electricity for the grid to remain on coal and gas - lest the institutional and societal knowledge on nuclear power plants completely atrophies.

> This also ignores the fact that the app developers offer immense value to Apple. But for the presence of millions of apps on its App Store, Apple would not be able to sell many iPhones. To illustrate why 20% is excessive use the following thought experiment. Would Apple maintain an App Store if the standard commission was reduced to 5%? It would. And what if the commission was 0%. It still would because it would have no choice. People expect to be able to download Netflix, Uber, Tinder, Spotify and many other apps on their iPhones. No apps mean no iPhone sales, which represent the bulk of Apple’s revenue. In other words, the commission is nothing but an illustration of Apple’s bottleneck power.

This is quite an interesting point that really helps to illustrate how over-priced Apple's "commission" is. I don't think it's a generally useful exercise for everything, or maybe even most things, as "market rate" is purely what people will pay. Pricing things based on production costs is a classic newbie mistake. But where I don't think this approach is or should apply to Apple, is in the fact of the monopolistic power they have over the system. It is much more a tax than a sale of an item. When you start talking about taxes, you're no longer talking about market rate because you're not dealing with a free market.

We can argue about whether or not Apple is a monopoly/gatekeeper, but for the purposes of the DMA (which is the subject of this article) they have been decided as such, and remember, TFA is talking about Apple's response to the DMA and the European commission.

They would blame Russia even if the evidence was extremely flimsy. The fact that they haven't makes me think they know exactly who did it, but the truth is far too inconvenient for them to pursue it because they would need to basically open a criminal case against the perpetrators. How many countries have the capability and interest in attacking a NATO country's (Germany's) infrastructure, within EU waters, that no one would be willing to open a criminal case against? That's your answer.
Ok - here let me explain.

It's a ridiculous situation - a horse in outer space in a space suit. But you want the image to be hyper physically accurate. That's fine, but it's a little incongruous. I wouldn't expect a human artist to be able to guess your requirements, let alone an AI.

So no, I do not believe any amount of computer resources will let the AI guess your requirements. You'll have to spell them out, as I did with the bubble for you once already. If you want the tail to be enclosed as well, you'll have to spell it out.

The whole point of this discussion is to determine whether the AI is simply copy/pasting images it's seen before. We've determined that it does not - it is able to synthesis new images by understanding what it's seen.

Whether it can read your mind is a silly digression.

That could still be maintained with side-loading though?

If the side-loaded app wants access to the GPS location, then the only way to get it is though the OS Location API which is what presents the Permission Dialog.

The same goes for any other permissions.

As part of the side-loading, any permissions that will be requested within the App could be presented to the user by the OS.

An anecdote I've heard is that some Venusian probe required the import of a large, valuable, (ruby?) instrument window, and customs naturally demanded import duties on what they considered to be a gemstone.

It left the country, permanently. Please return our $Y."

(besides the fact that pipe A of NS2 has also been damaged)

Why would the existence of a new, still unused but surviving pipeline be a reason to dismiss US involvement in the sabotage?

Germany is already hostile to Russia (there are people like Gerhard Schröder, but they are not part of the current political establishment), so they are going to be hesitant to make changes that would be seen as being "soft vs Russia".

It's easier to keep the status quo than to make changes that would be politically fraught (like removing sanctions).

Sabotaging NS1 was almost certainly not done with the complicity of Germany, but despite the obvious economic damage it dealt, it was convenient for people who wanted to disentangle the economic relations that Germany had with Russia: this way there wouldn't be any contract that would have to be breached.

Moreover, sabotaging this is a very credible threat that... If Germany would want to actually approve use of NS2, they could risk and see the same thing happen again.
> to sell me a physical SIM, the telecom has to employ somebody to stand there and sell me a SIM

In France there is a telco called Free, that has vending machines for SIM cards all across the country inside of various kiosks.

It’s pretty great.

I was there recently for a couple of months, and I went to one of these vending machines. Filled out some basic info about myself and paid with my debit card. The machine gave me a SIM card that I then put in my phone and have been using since.

The amount of gigabytes was decent too.

I am in a different country now, but still in the EU. Here I can still use the same SIM, but the amount of traffic that that plan gives me outside is pretty low compared to what it gave me in France. For now it’s been ok though, because here I have fiber at home. When I was in France the AirBnB we stayed at didn’t have any internet so that’s why I bought the French SIM with sufficient amount of gigas to get my work done.

Anyway, this vending machine in kiosks system is awesome. More telcos should do that in other countries too.
Is the cost mostly bandwidth? Cloudflare free tier is a godsend for static sites. I have a project which is audio-heavy and has used 2TB of bandwith since the start of January.
