Maybe another method is needed then?

If you can't tell innocent people from legit targets... rethink the approach?

Here is my reasoning: they hide in civilian clothes, okay let's not shoot civilians. They hide in hospitals, okay let's not bomb hospitals. They use civilian buildings, okay let's not bomb civilian buildings.

They use civilians as shields... let's not shoot the shields.

How is that unreasonable?
Apple can deal with those as they are uncovered. With alternative approaches, they can’t. So your point defeats itself.
A counterpoint is their $1.7M toilet.

But yeah at 10x that’d be taking away from significant programs never mind 100x.
I will eat my hat if that is not exactly what it is. The shifts from an unmentioned 3rd person to first person give it away.

Someone asked an LLM to summarize another article and posted it as their own.
The number of bad faith arguments here is impressive.

> Don’t like it? Don’t publish to it.

That's not how laws work, Epic have a perfectly valid complaint against Apple because Apple isn't complying with EU law. As far as valid outcomes go, Apple can either comply, face fines, or leave the EU market.

> As a consumer I want and like the tight restrictions apple puts on the App Store.

That's great, but it causes demonstrable harm to the proper functioning of our supposed "free market", so we've outlawed them.

> It’s not like users can’t purchase stuff without paying the 30% premium added by developers to offset the apple tax. Just go to the website and buy there. And save the 30%.

Except they ban you from even mentioning that this alternative exist. More harm to the free market.

> My parents who are older use iPhone. They don’t have to wade through trash like android play store. Most apps are good in the iOS store.

Nobody is forcing them to wade through alternative app stores. If most good apps are indeed on iOS, and Apple's fees are indeed reasonable, then those apps will stay in the iOS App Store. Nothing to worry about!

> If epic wants kids to buy more stuff have their parents pay the 30% premium. If your kid is glued to the phone I’m sure you enabled that and can continue enabling it. Sorry not sorry.

This legislation benefits everyone, not just Epic.
Apple views every instruction executing on iPhone as something they own, control, and tax.

It'd be cute if iPhone was a toy used by a million people. However, mobile computing has become a cornerstone of modern communications and societal function. You use these devices to book flights, buy goods, order food (at restaurants), date, do banking, send texts, emails, -- literally everything.

And Apple controls and taxes all of it. All the innovation. All the connections. Everything.

And they control how you write and deploy that software. It's a game of constantly jumping through hoops and stressing out over release trains.

With a press of a button, a change in policy, Apple can nuke your product from orbit. And there's not a thing you can do.

And Google, even with their "unlocked APK installs", isn't really any different.

This is a new kind of monopoly. A solid chunk of the connective tissue of our planet and species is controlled, taxed, and ruled over by two overlord companies.

I am so glad the Internet itself isn't like this. Except, these devices practically are the internet for many or most folks. So these to, in a way, do control and tax the internet.
You absolutely can have a social contract across conflicting cultures. You just gave an example: commerce valuing gold is a social agreement. Another example is countries at war each other following the rules of war (not always, but even one instance makes your claim false).
Thanks! Right now, the delta between Zoom AI summaries and ours is enough to get many to switch.

We've also built (and are continuing to build) functionality that goes beyond summarization:

- Integrations that connect with other apps/CRMs to automatically push relevant data after every meeting.

- We can automatically identify and take action on insights you care about. An example I showed in the linked video (https://youtu.be/13NX0QxG5hI?feature=shared&t=144): I have a workflow to identify the customer's industry after every demo call I do. There are some really cool use cases here, especially when combined with integrations, i.e. automatically updating a field in a CRM with the customer's industry, or create a new row in a Notion database. We'll soon be adding schema support for insights so you can have more control over the structure of the insights generated, too.

- AI-powered search across all your meetings: being able to get an answer to a question using the context of your/your team's meetings (regardless of whether they happened on Zoom, Meet, Slack huddles, or in-person) is quite powerful and something we're working on making much better.
> Consoles are so ephemeral in the grand scheme of things, and lawsuits take so long, that it's not worth it.

SOME consoles are sold at close to margins or even a loss at launch, making up for it later.

Other companies like Nintendo have gone many generations selling at a profit at launch.

So should Nintendo not be allowed to make the same revenue cut that other console makers get?
Where is the burden of proof here?

I generally think that militaries and governments in international relations, and especially regarding warfare, are not trustworthy; they will lie if it helps them. Israel in particular focuses on information for the Western public (which I'm sure they would agree to; they even have a word for it, and especially in this war (they are well-organized and there is plenty of recent journalism about it). I don't think Israeli - or Hamas - claims are credible on their own.

Is there some other basis for this claim?
With how AI is going, attestation will become necessary for many social interactions we take for granted today by assuming there is a well-intended human in the other end.

If you're hiring, or looking for a new job, the odds of you being tricked/phished are getting worse by the day. I've read stories of employees get interviewed for fake jobs as a long-con to get banking details, and employers interviewing a persona that's fronting an offshore dev team, or people who don't have work skills and aim to pick up paychecks until their dismissal is processed.
Yes, for user like me. I checked most of the extension I use. They directly come from github, and I generally don't update extension, so there is no fear of some sketchy website buying the extension company.

This looks really cool! I've often dreamt of having tools which would enable things like co-evolving a drone controller with physical aspects of the drone itself -- like rotor shape, dimensions, components selected (motors, battery, etc). The normal CAE workflow isn't set up for that kind of fast iteration. Code driven modelling tools combined with code driven simulation environments could make that real.

> Maybe it's possible to have multiple _views_ of a filesystem, so via one API you "see" a flat namespace with hashed directories, and with another a conventional hierarchical one

Spack supports the notion of arbitrary "views" of the store, which can be defined declaratively [1]. Apparently we need to write more highlight blog posts and submit them here b/c people don't seem to know about this stuff :)

For example, if you want to make a view that included only things that depend on MPI (openmpi, mpich, etc.), but not things built with the PGI compiler, in directories by name, version, and what compiler was used to build, you could write:

view:
mpis:
root: /path/to/view
select: [^mpi]
exclude: ['%pgi@18.5']
projections:
all: '{name}/{version}-{compiler.name}'
link_type: symlink

That will get you symlinks to the prefixes of the packages that match the criteria, with fancy names.

If you wanted a different layout you might do:

view:
myview:
projections:
zlib: "{name}-{version}"
^mpi: "{name}-{version}/{^mpi.name}-{^mpi.version}-{compiler.name}-{compiler.version}"
all: "{name}-{version}/{compiler.name}-{compiler.version}"

That puts all your zlib installs in a short name-version directory, most things in directories named by the package and version and a subdirectory for what compiler it was built with, and for packages that depend on MPI it also adds the MPI implementation (openmpi, mpich, etc.) and its version to that.

You can choose to map everything into a single prefix too:

view:
default:
root: ~/myprefix

That is useful for what we call a "unified" environment where there is only one version of any particular package -- it basically converts a subset of a store into an FHS layout.

There are options for choosing what types of links to use and what types of dependencies to link in, e.g., you could exclude build dependencies if you didn't want the cmake you built with to be linked in.

Ask HN: In the 90s, did programmers job-hop frequently?

The part that is concerning is that Benzoyl Peroxide decomposes at a very high temperature (>100C), but the compound does produce free radicals that may be reacting with something else to produce Benzene. Saying that improper storage is causing this, is not sufficient.

If tomorrow, the coloring agent and the sweetener in Coke Zero, when kept out in the summer, react with each other to produce Fentanyl, we shouldn't focus on the fact that drink was left out. We should focus on the fact that two ingredients could potentially react and form chemicals that can cause harm.
This doesn't work for many sites that use randomly generated class names and IDs. For example, it's really difficult to trim all the cruft and junk from Twitter's web interface without an userscript. With the script though it's trivial and you can also filter the feed to remove ads, suggestions, posts liked by some random people, etc.
Fantastic example.
It's a very imperfect comparison, but at least it's a factual basis. If you have better data, please share it.
Alphv/BlackCat Fakes Law Enforcement Takedown to Scam Affiliates
> They are actively and publicly fighting against my (their customer) interests.

If Apple allowed unrestricted sideloading or third-party app stores, then it loses its leverage to hold apps accountable to any guidelines.

A few major players would switch to using the alternative method (eg Amazon would want to sell digital items and use its own payment system), legitimizing it, and then everyone who wants to ignore the guidelines for less admirable reasons would follow suit.

Less technically savvy users would follow the prompts to install an app with extremely mixed results. And once there's no one way to install apps, it makes it that much harder for them to tell if an app is legitimate or not.

That's maybe fine for more technical users, but for people who just want to use their phone as an appliance rather than verify the chain of trust for an app, there's no discernible benefit. The time required to verify an app is non-negligible, and the risk is pretty much infinite with respect to what information they give it.

And sometimes you don't really have a choice whether to use an app or not. Your employer or locale may make or imply decisions on service providers for you, and the reason for choosing those service providers likely has nothing to do with how their app treats end users. They won't need to clear any quality bar to offer an app at all, and a locked-in customer has less negotiating power than Apple.

Apple has positioned itself as a premium product which is going to make things simpler (ie reducing executive overhead) by making decisions for you. Saying "no" to features to keep things focused for the largest group of users is hard, and those decisions are going to trend towards the largest demographic using the platform, which is probably less-technical users who don't hang out on HN. If you want to customize the platform, then that's Android's competitive edge.

You can even sideload apps with a developer license - that's essentially how UTM is installed: https://docs.getutm.app/installation/ios/

While that does mean you have to put down more $$, it also effectively narrows the people sideloading apps to people who "know what they're doing" (or at least have demonstrated a higher bar of tech-savviness and clicked through more legal waivers)

You could probably obfuscate the text payload and make it seem like a cool trick you'd want to try out yourself, like "Check out this prompt that generates these cool images with Gemini!" (cool images attached).

Wouldn't it be possible to say "ok, I'll take those restrictions as long as they benefit me, but once I notice that they no longer do, I'll break them and drop down to the lower layer. But only for those parts that actually require it"?

The userland GL/Vulkan driver is still the same closed blob.

In the kernel driver the difference between the open and closed, is that the open driver has ripped out a chunk of its functionality that on newer nvidia GPUs has been moved to an on-gpu processor (e.g. power management etc).
Improvements in inference speed would also manifest itself on those bigger models that may only partially fit into GPU VRAM. In some cases, the improvement on the GPU side alone, is strong enough to basically turn what you would previously consider a too-slow-to-be-usable higher quality model, into a faster, usable one.
I'm not quite clear on what you're implying here, but in any case I would prefer to find an example of a prolonged war rather than an isolated false flag operation.
> Haven't worked at Google, anyone else share this sentiment?

I worked there, and the quality is definitely much higher and the code tends to be far more maintainable. However, there is often a cost for that, which is velocity.

Some of this is reduced by the sheer amount of automation in tooling (i.e. bots that block style violations and common bugs before a code change is submitted).

In other cases, it slows things down quite a bit.
I agree for most software in general. Mac updates are auto by default iirc, and that's good. Just not Chrome extensions. The risk of attacks by the owner seems much higher than the risk of attacks by websites on outdated extensions.

And the problem with Windows is you can't really turn minor updates off, they require reboots, it nags you a ton about major ones, and the updates basically just make it worse.
Man, I attended American universities my whole life and I work at one.
>I mean, why not? They did so in the past (Windows 10 S).

probably because they don't want to bring up old wounds regarding antitrust. 10 S was trying to go around it by more or less making a mobile device with some desktop functionality. Worked out about as well as Windows 10 mobile.

>but why would it be regulated against now?

well, IOS is being regulated against now, so there's your reason.
Epic’s past behavior didn’t occur in the EU and was aimed at getting Apple to make the kind of concessions that the EU is now forcing upon them.

Epic seems to have followed the letter of the DMA by setting up a European subsidiary that deals with Apple’s European subsidiary. My feeling is that the antitrust people at the European Commission won’t be happy with Apple’s refusal to give them access.
Well if you complain about downvotes, it'll only bring more downvotes ;)
Israel, which you claim is indiscriminately bombing civilians, has not been able to match Hamas in killing 1,200 civilians in a single day of this war despite dropping thousands of bombs.

You can use buzzwords to try and distort reality but this is clearly a highly targeted military campaign where Hamas is sacrificing it's own civilians as human shields. That sucks and Hamas should surrender, but Israel should do what it needs to defeat Hamas.
Hey, I appreciate the reply!

> A windows binary that starts a Linux VM in which the container runs.

I'm afraid my wording was somewhat ambiguous here. I meant to ask "do you aim to wrap Windows apps in a single Windows binary", but I suppose you answered my question anyway. You want to distribute Linux applications to Windows users.

Running on Windows/macOS was also the context in which I meant to ask about filesystem mounts. I understand this is not something that's implemented yet, but I'm wondering about your goals. Things obviously get much trickier than they are on Linux. On Windows I'd probably include a Plan9 server for file sharing.

The much larger hurdle I see for Windows support is that I don't think you can setup virtualization without Admin privileges in the general case. If Hyper-V is not already present and enabled you'll need to install some hypervisor. Even QEMU needs Hyper-V for proper virtualization.
In another timeline I would have loved to see what they came up with...

An obsession over quality would have Apple open the door to better audio services like Spotify to integrate with the phone's audio database for instance. Or have Kindle like apps let their user have the better purchasing experience. Or better browsers to have deeper system integration. Better messaging platforms interoperate with iMessage. A 3.5mm jack to have the best latency and highest potential audio quality. The list goes on and on.

Apple values quality, but not above everything else. This is obvious and totally normal for a company, it's just weird it bears repeating so much.

It's funny, Altium was the underdog for years. Only as they continually improved did they slowly gain market share.

The tools need to work consistently, just like the tools of a carpenter. If his hammer head keeps falling off, it's not very helpful even if it was free.

My point was that it is really difficult to make sch and pcb design easy for the end user. There are already companies that have climbed that mountain. AI is a nice differentiator, but in my opinion a startup would be better focused by working with existing tools instead of reinventing them (poorly).

Obviously startups are free to do as they wish.
Show HN: Known – Semi-smart plant labels

It was not my intention to defend large corporations and their sleazy practices. I just wanted to say that the average user cannot be trusted with an easy option to ignore updates, especially when it comes to security.

Users will do things like ignore updates and then trash you on the internet or spam your support because the software no longer works properly with service xyz. We regularly hear about major hacking incidents where internet-facing software hasn't been patched for years. Things like this will give your company a bad reputation.

I think the best compromise is to have automatic updates by default and a slightly hidden option in the menu to turn them off. If the user goes out of his way to turn it off, then it is his own damn fault, but if you make it too easy (like presenting it with every update prompt) you are courting disaster.

Indeed. It all boils down to: if I buy a product from company A, then want to use that product to do business with company B, why does company A have anything to say about it? Am I not the owner of my device?
