Definitely very excited to see this be a thing. Genuinely liked the approach to make function calls strongly typed and rely on functional programming principles.

During my senior year, I worked on a research project very similar to this and I’m glad to see this out there for everyone. I’d love to connect with the team if possible!
There should always be an option to turn off automatic updates (unless we are talking about a corporate network), but the option should be opt-in and require some initiative on the part of the user. If the option is presented together with a prompt to update, users will simply turn it off without knowing what they are doing.

If it is in an options menu, power users can choose to turn it off, but normal users will probably never find the option.
Again faulty logic.

Their capability to kill more does not imply that they would use it or there could not be systematic murder if they don’t use the full firepower. What I see is not just Hamas hiding among civilians (this is true and this is a war crime), but also what you conveniently ignore: systematic disregard of human life by Israel and ignorance of the duty to protect innocent lives. Some token actions to show for the press (all those „phone calls“) do not qualify as such.

What Israel should have done but did not: evacuate the entire population of Gaza to its own territory, ensure protection of human rights, guarantee access to food, healthcare and education.
Further, the indictment describes measures that Ding allegedly took to conceal his theft of the trade secrets. For example, he allegedly copied data from Google source files into the Apple Notes application on his Google-issued MacBook laptop. By then converting the Apple Notes into PDF files and uploading them from the Google network into as separate account, Ding allegedly evaded detection by Google’s data loss prevention systems.

Likewise, the indictment describes how in December 2023 Ding allegedly permitted another Google employee to use his Google-issued access badge to scan into the entrance of a Google building – making it appear he was working from his U.S. Google office when, in fact, he was in the PRC.

I wonder if/how/what Google has done to prevent these violations from occuring again in the future. Perhaps they will discuss it in their SEC filings.
I get your point, but changelogs can often be generated semi-automatically from VCS.

And I realise I'm not the typical user, but I actually do read(skim) TOS just to see if there's any centipad like stuff. Most of it is just boilerplate and you get pretty quick at finding the substantive parts with some practice. Of course TOS/EULA are hard to read for most people by design. They don't actually want you to read it. If they did, they'd offer a summarised version without all the legalese boilerplate.

I get the same feeling about changelogs. They probably have one internally if they know what they're doing. It may even be online somewhere if I go looking. I can only surmise that for whatever reason, they don't want me to read it, which doesn't inspire trust.
Because SQLite is in process. Usually, when you start thinking about cache, you have more than one application server. Each application server running its own cache make cache invalidation a nightmare (I worked in a company where one genius did that and caused a lot of troubles). Don't show me any sqlite replication things because that's not how you want your cache to work.

My issue with running PostgreSQL as cache would be its thread per connection model and downsides of MVCC for cache.
Has the subject matter just not changed much since a ~decade ago not to warrant new books?
I can't believe I didn't already know this
I might be naive but isn’t that what rsync is doing?
It looks like Extboost is also a project by OP. The charitable explanation would be that they used its API server because they already had the data they needed to scrape an extension's metadata (i.e. its owner) given an extension ID.
Unfortunately, it isn't to a lot of people.
To be honest, most researchers in applied ML in the bay say the opposite. If you are trying to be nimble and prototype, use pytorch. If you're trying to gain some optimizations as you near deployment, rewrite in Jax.

His detractors do a poor job of knocking him down a peg. I am speaking as someone who was there on day 0 of r/realTesla.

Even today with garbage like that recent 60 minutes hit piece on SpaceX, it is easy to dismiss because of all the easily disprovable claims. So much criticism on Musk is just so lazily produced and not properly vetted and its a shame because there is a ton of material to get him with.
Let me start by saying this looks like a fun project to work on and, honestly, that's reason enough for doing it.

As a solution to the problem of app distribution, I do have some concerns, though:

How do you deal with resource sharing? This starts with just filesystem mounts, but also concerns ports, possibly devices, and probably many other things I'm forgetting. Is this somehow configurable?

How does this compare to AppImage? IIRC that also puts everything into a squashfs.

If a user without CAP_SYS_USER_NS executes one of the binaries built by dockerc, do you handle that gracefully in any way?
>materially incapable of war mode

I think it's more reluctant to go into war mode. Europe did plenty of war in the not too distant past.

It was interesting doing a tour of Ypres where my grandad did artillery in WW1. It was really rather similar to the current war in Ukriane - largely static trenches with people lobbing shells at each other. Bigger though - approx 1bn shells fired and 14 million dead.

No one really wants to repeat that expect perhaps Putin. I suspect the current slowness in making 1/1000th as many shells is more down to a lack of enthusiasm for the whole business than being less capeable than a century ago. Indeed I thought we were over that stuff but I guess if Putin wants to go retro and roll tanks into the neighbours territories we are forced to respond.
It’s literally a plot point of countless dystopian books and movies.

Either of OpenAI or WorldCoin would be a terrifying nightmare even without Altman and OpenPhilanthropy and the SEC investigation and what-the-hell-ever scared Ilya so bad he 180’d from a single phone call and Yud whipping the public and Congress into a frenzy talking about Terminator in two years.

I don’t care how badly someone wants to be accepted into YC or whatever: this is the wrong side of history.

Yeah, seeing ~300 datapoints a day instead of 4 while pricking your fingers is amazing QoL improvement. Dead serious.
I believe Firefox at least alerts you when an extension update has changed the permissions it requests (and you need to accept the new permissions). Of course, there are many cases where malicious code doesn't require new permissions.

I'd also prefer more visibility into updates. Enabling auto-updates might be okay, if there's a way to opt out of it, and if the updates were significantly more visible. I want to see a big modal when one of my extensions has updated, and ideally I'd be able to see the diff of its source code. But even without that, just knowing it updated would be enough for me to unpack the CRX and check for myself (like I did when I installed it originally).

Disclaimer: I run exactly two extensions in my main browser: uBlock Origin, and Little Rat (monitors network requests of other extensions). I have a separate Canary browser for web development where I install other extensions I might need.
Hard disagree on basically everyone you said beyond this move not being too surprising. Apple holds grudges. Always has.

But this is just asking for trouble without any real benefit.

Maybe they want the fight, I guess. But it's a dumb fight.
Ah, that makes sense. I'm certain we'll never "know" but just found it interesting and was curious if people knew other trade-offs they may have been making for increased wear time, especially given that would offer a sharp reduction in cost over time for patients (and their insurance companies, etc).

A 50% increase in wear time is HUGE in my opinion.
> You can sideload apks

Just because you can ask your users to build a nuclear fission reactor, doesn't mean that they can or will.

F-droid gets ~3M MAU, with a 70% bounce rate. It's pitiful.

This is a pathetic case for mobile rights and freedom. Practically nobody knows how to make use of this model.

Installing software should be first class, not buried in the settings. It shouldn't have scare walls, either.

Google knows exactly what they're doing with the "freedom" they're letting end users have. 0.1% of users even know about or can leverage it.

> They create dedicated hardware designed to excel at gaming and then sell it at or near cost. In a very real sense they create the market that games producers sell into, and the business model is explicitly centered around those software sales.

So like Apple releasing the iPhone, increasing graphics performance by double-digit percentages consistently year after year?

> They participate in marketing, branding, etc. There's a genuine holistic value exchange that happens.

You would need to give me examples for non-AAA games of console makers providing exceptional value here. My understanding is that this is primarily the role of the publisher, not the console maker.

Apple does showcase _certain_ apps on stage at keynotes, during commercials, with prime placement on the App Store, promoting special events, and so on. This is the level of promotion that I'm used to with game consoles as well.

> Apple's value exchange is almost negative. They invest nothing in gaming as an industry, charge a premium for the hardware and then add burdensome restrictions on how the software is delivered.

What is Playstation's big investment into gaming as an industry, if not for the hardware and the platform creating an ecosystem for games the same way iPhone/iOS have?

Microsoft created DirectX the same way Apple created and promoted Metal. Could you elaborate on the differences?

> And then they try to take the same cut that authentic gaming ecosystem players have as their whole revenue source.

Yes, could you elaborate on what additional work console makers have done here to justify their cut that Apple hasn't?
> They have an interest in this conflict that is not the same as Israel's.

You are quite right, Israel's interest is to kill and displace the Palestinians, crush them as a people. Very few human right groups would have an interest that aligns with that.

Thanks for the clear explanation. Had wondered at the time why this would happen.

Not to play the blame game but sounds like it comes down to cofounders just losing interest in their own company. Rest was just a side effect.

Unfortunately this is becoming more and more common. The cult of the irrational, warrior founder/CEO who takes the startup journey as literal life or death is even rarer.

What is even more weird to me is that I know founders who sleep 2-3 days in the office trying to make their startup work and grow, year after year.

They are hiring for people like you. They always get rejected for some reason.

Yet Silicon Valley natives get their way easily with great engineers like the ones in your team. I don't mean to offend anything, I have been just really curious what makes great people like your team go with founders who give up eventually. Cos I used to think you can sort of sense a founder who is not in it for life and death.
Yep, good plan - that would definitely resolve the concerns.

Maybe, but it expanded on the idea in the vague comment and together introduced me to the idea of embedding each sentence and then clustering the sentences, then taking the centroid of the sentences as the embedding to index/search against. I had not thought of doing that before.
Would anyone who's calling for iPhone sideloading be upset about Xbox sideloading? I wouldn't. By all means, let's regulate both Microsoft and Apple. The more the merrier.

I don't think I've ever looked at a video game console and thought, "I'm sure glad that I can't sideload games onto this." This is a slippery slope that I am happy to go down.
If someone is buying your extension with wicked, dark and nefarious intentions, he's gonna want the private key too.

Pretty much everyone is going to agree, with the only individual difference on how much you have to pay.
By that definition anyone who's ever committed a hate crime had also committed genocide.

> there needs to be documentation of my (mal) functioning and there has to be attemps to improve performance or behavior

Many large US companies also use such procedures. Instead of firing you on the spot, your manager puts you through a three-month "performance improvement program", aka PIP, during which the documentation of your inadequate performance and failure to improve is created, and then you are fired.

What symptoms would one have to present for an "online prescription mill"/"virtual care provider" to prescribe a CGM? I'm fascinated by this and would love to try it out but I don't want to bother my family doctor with this.
Saying something is biased on one side and therefore wrong or unfair is incorrect because it denies the idea of objective truth.

If there is no such thing as objective truth, then nobody has any foundation upon which to make any judgements, and therefore power alone becomes the ultimate arbiter or conflict.

The idea that there is no objective truth is a core tenet of fascism.

So in a "curious" place you would expect openness to new explanations, but you would also expect one-sided-ness because there is an objective truth to approach and the purpose of curiosity is to approach that truth.

If there is no objective truth, there is no reason to be curious.

If there is an objective truth, then there is no reason to complain about one-sided-ness because what matters is our best approximation of the truth.

No, I meant sum.... assuming all of the samples are integer values, and you have enough bits in the sum, you don't risk overflow, and gain a bit of dynamic range in the process.

Please Justify at least 2 points:
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Seriously, think about what "just" war and multiple % civilian deaths mean, then for people who believe in New World Order / Great Replacement, why isn't this justification for the holocaust rather than the defense of Israel? I get the anger, but not the rationale.
If this is (and remains) true, I would guess that someone will build it and sell it to others. There are enough people out there who will never get above a 1200 — with any amount of studying/coaching — and who would happily pay $2k for a guaranteed 1500+. You wouldn't even need an LLM, really. Just a cellular-enabled laptop that can take screenshots every few seconds and transmit them to a confederate who whispers in your ear. Or to be even less detectable, just faintly displays a letter at the bottom of the screen once the problem has been solved.
You are right and that’s something I knew when I bought. It’s not that I liked it but rather than in my opinion, it wasn’t better on the Android side (I mean, at least Apple don’t sell my health data). Windows is worse than everything else.

(In fact I’m really grateful that Linux is even existing because otherwise the situation would be catastrophic. But I digress)

The point is that now, Apple is exercising this control to (try to) actively defeat public regulators. I do believe It’s pretty serious when a company actively tries to circumvent the rules made by the public powers.

And I say that as someone who ideologically tolerates civil disobedience when needed. But corporations are not humans, they must respect the rules in all circumstances. Because respecting the stupid regulations and the stupid laws is the only thing that distinguishes them from mafioso systems.

There's like 3 things in that whole PDF that have "stats" associated at all (recommended levels, chance of getting hit by some arrows, some damage dice.) Those stats are mostly basic numbers. If you can't convert that to a different system then maybe it's worth learning one RPG system well.
Heh, you're really unpleasant. Pick your BMR calculator of choice, but 6000 calories a day corresponds to about 850-1100 pounds. There are very few people that heavy.

You should use your brain to learn some math, quit being a jack ass, admit when you're wrong, and learn from your mistakes instead of hiding them with insults.
From the same article:

A senior UN official, asked about the information contained in Maj. Hess-von Kruedener's e-mail concerning Hezbollah presence in the vicinity of the Khiam base, denied the world body had been caught in a contradiction.

"At the time, there had been no Hezbollah activity reported in the area," he said. "So it was quite clear they were not going after other targets; that, for whatever reason, our position was being fired upon.

"Whether or not they thought they were going after something else, we don't know. The fact was, we told them where we were. They knew where we were. The position was clearly marked, and they pounded the hell out of us."

---

This part states the area was being bombed prior to reports of Hezbollah activity in the area, so yes - the confusion will muddy it.

Nonetheless, he had recently reported IDF war crimes - and the IDF at minimum coincidentally was responsible for killing him; with this seemingly contradictory statement by a senior UN official.
But at the same time, tear downs of their cars show they have healthy 30% margins when their competitors are selling their EVs often at a loss. Their current balance sheet looks much better than their competitors given the assets that they have for the EV transition. If governments are serious about transitioning to EVs then either they kick the other car companies into gear or accept that Tesla(and the Chinese) will be the only real serious players.
Thanks for the nice words! Appreciated, and good hacking!
> Take it to the other extreme: what does a PC manufacturer do that Apple does not? Why not let Windows close down and take 30% on any program installed on Windows?

I mean, why not? They did so in the past (Windows 10 S).

I think it turned out to be a terrible business move on Microsoft's part that didn't pan out, but why would it be regulated against now?

Claude is better at coding. I use these LLMs all day long, am very surprised to see OpenAI behind.

Again, words have meanings even if you don't like them. There is nothing indiscriminate about Israel's actions, which somehow have not been able to match Hamas's one day total of slaughtered and raped civilians. War is awful and I hope that Hamas surrenders soon to end it.
Yes and the fact that you can just scrape the logs for extension installation statistics which you can use to sell AD space is just an accidental convenient side-effect, I'm sure.

I currently sticky-tape my Fitbit Inspire 3 to my tricep to get continuous low effort health/sleep tracking.

This doesn't seem to be the right way to handle keys for bulk data at rest, even assuming you were doing it to enforce patient approval.

A password wouldn't be appropriate for direct use as an encryption key. So I guess you could hash the password and use that for the key for data encryption and then hash it again and store the second hash for authentication. Salting appropriately of course.

That feels weird to me, I wouldn't trust I saw every angle on that. Regardless, it would drastically lower the entropy of the key space that way unless you have downright draconian password requirements.

How did you implement this in the POC you spoke of?

"which somehow have not been able to match Hamas's one day total of slaughtered and raped civilians" — what do you mean by this? Over 1,000 civilians were killed by Hamas, whereas around 30,000 people (including many innocents) have been killed in Gaza — almost two orders of magnitude more. As you say, words have meanings.
