It is not relevant whether Apple trusts Epic - they are not legally allowed to block them while running a core platform service.
Identity management.

I want to give food or money to 1000 distinct people in some part of the world.

How do I make sure that 1000 distinct people do it and it's not just 100 people getting in the line 10 times each?

What source of identity does everyone have (yes, there are exceptions) and on the more difficult to lose side (industrial accidents are more likely to damage fingers than eyes)?
I think the cracks will start to show the longer big apps don’t come to Vision Pro. Apple has spent the last decade pissing off developers and partners, and just when they need them the most - during the fragile time of getting an entire new platform off the ground - they are doubling down on being assholes.

Every single review I’ve seen mentions that Netflix and YouTube aren’t on Vision Pro. One of the biggest applications of VR is gaming and they’re going nuclear with Epic instead of developing a great partnership to bring high value gaming to Vision Pro. Hubris before the fall.
The SPD/Greens shut down the Stade Nuclear Power Plant in 2003 and the Obrigheim Nuclear Power Plant in 2005.

As far as I know this was not "all" that the person you were responding to said, but they absolutely did shut down nuclear plants.

Why do you use bangs and not keywords in the address bar? It's so much faster, no need to go to kagi first...

I have 10-20 keywords set up in Firefox for example. It works in chrome too.

But maybe I'm missing some use case for kagi bangs...
Security through obscurity has been the game forever. It's cheap and a normal person wouldn't go through the effort to subvert it. Cost vs benefits, plus delegation of responsibility, i.e. they can say the police should handle stolen cars and theft.
Fair! Yeah I mean, I will say I don't need a complete plan, but unknowns make me nervous, and maybe a true finger-gunner never doubts their ability to figure it out.
i mean...
We need % of revenue based punishment for such acts to see fast this attitude can change.
> I noticed if we plot the journalist killings against general population killings in Gaza, the graph deviates from an approximately straight line that might be expected if journalists were merely being killed as a result of "collateral damage" amidst indiscriminated bombings

I think this assumption is wrong. Journalists are known to try to get the most shocking photos and reports. I would expect their rates of injury compared to random Joes in similar situations to be similar to that of people doing extreme sports compared to people doing recreational sports.
> The CCP does not want a superintelligence, because a superintelligence would at best take away political control from the party.

People keep on mushing together intelligence and drives. Humans are intelligent, and we have certain drives (for food, sex, companionship, entertainment, etc)-the drives we have aren’t determined by our intelligence, we could be equally intelligent yet have had very different drives, and although there is a lot of commonality in drives among humans, there is also a lot of cultural differences and individual uniqueness.

Why couldn’t someone (including the CCP) build a superintelligence with the drive to serve its specific human creators and help them in overcoming their human enemies/competitors? And while it is possible a superintelligence with that basic drive might “rebel” against it and alter it, it is by no means certain, and we don’t know what the risk of such a “rebellion” is. The CCP (or anyone else for that matter) might one day decide it is a risk they are willing to take, and if they take it, we can’t be sure it would go badly for them
This is a massive one; they tried to do the integration themselves under a deadline with no expertise while increasing scope under said deadline. They also had massive churn. Any vendor's solution they chose would have most likely failed.

In an attempt to save money, the appointed CIO determined that the state did not require the services of a systems integrator independent from Oracle. Instead, they decided to train their own team on Oracle products to drive a self-sufficient organization. The logic behind this decision is clear, if you train your own people, you can create independence from your service provider and ultimately create the potential to deliver greater value to the organization.

However, the State of Oregon did not have the staff available to train and were losing as many people as they hired. A staff of Oracle programmers coupled with a program lead that lacks experience is typically a recipe for disaster.

>chose oracle and listened to oracle

All the other vendors decided not to accept the contract based on the deadline and scope. That's also pretty telling.
Blind? I assumed that the monopoly on iphone app distribution (and the corresponding growth in fee revenue) was why the stock has been so high recently.
That's a great example of the "simplicity" of Python being anything but.
I like the introduction on this one.

It presents sucker as a neutral thing, some guy taken in by criminals looking to steal their money via typical non political methods. Then later they show how deception works similarly for far more serious topics.

I think it's just that most scanning tools aren't trying to unwrap a TCP packet inside a TCP packet, so it bypassed their naive filters. Once a researcher spotted it, it was trivial to unwrap, but automated tooling would just see it as the outer TCP packet with some opaque data inside of it.

I would assume that the attacker's destination IP would show up on some dashboards somewhere though...

I wonder if there are any web rich text editor components that use attributed strings? Tired of the DOM.
so if I set up my own app store with nothing but apps designed to scam people, Apple has to allow me to do it?
No, Apple was on the verge of bankruptcy and had to be bailed out by Microsoft in the 90's.
I think Sluggy Freelance already had a storyline with jurassic park velociraptor style revived carnivorous mammoths, but I don't remember all the details.
Whether or not Tim Sweeney has a legal leg to stand on, I'm so happy he keeps fighting this. Likewise with Spotify. I love that the EU is pushing legislation to give at least some people back control of their devices.

I'm curious why Tim Cook thinks Apple can continue to treat developers they way they do for years on end and it won't slowly but surely come to bite them hard one day.
That should be used together with ML models.

Image compression for example or voice and video compression like what nvidia does.

But i do like this implementation focusing on libs, why not?
Lawyers are not able to understand any else's point of view. They are not truly sapient because of this. All they see is the law.

Test this sometime: Ask any lawyer to follow the chain of reasoning of a third party at some point in history. They can not do it. They will interrupt with bits of irrelevant law from today that would not have applied at that time.

In this case with Elon Musk's payment from Tesla, it was reasonable at the time ot was agreed to.

Tesla was more likely to go bankrupt than to become the behemoth it is today, so a payment in all future stock would be much higher than a payment in cash due to the risk Musk would never get paid or would be paid in almost worthless stock.

At the time this deal was agreed to Elon Musk was seen as a genius billionaire, without the stigma of drugs, irrational tweets, failing to grow Twitter, and federal fines for misconduct that he has today.

At the time that pay package was agreed to, it was reasonable, but it would be ludicrous today.

Sub-sapient attorneys lack the mental abilities to comprehend the difference between what was reasonable then and what would be a reasonable deal today.

Attorneys also lack the integrity to live by deals after circumstances change.
I work with Illustrator on a daily basis. Drawing everything with the pen tool is about as effective as opening up a 300dpi canvas in Photoshop and placing every pixel by hand with the pencil tool. There’s a bunch of tools for creating and editing paths at a higher level than thinking about every control point, just as Photoshop has a bunch of tools for creating and editing huge numbers of pixels in very complex ways.

It is useful for me to know how to think about individual control points, but it is rare for me to need to do this.
It's going to depend on what you're running on, but phi2 is pretty fast so you can reasonably expect to be hitting ~50 tokens a second. Given that, if you are ingesting a 100k token document you can expect it to take 30-40 minutes if done serially, and you can of course spread stuff in parallel.
The difference is that Apple is now largely no longer in control of the rules, at least in the EU. It seems like they haven't come to terms with that yet.
How is this legally binding if my 4-year old clicked through the pop-up?
If you do make it configurable, it's still a good idea to make the default `127.0.0.1` for the reasons @ggpsv mentioned. Since the link automatically opens at `http://localhost:PORT` anyway, it's an easy security win.
Any security to protect someone from just stealing your eye in a parking lot...? One or two of these events on the news would quickly sink this.

...which is exactly the kind of thing the EU Commission will punish them for.

If they create a bunch of new rules and only punish those who are developing their own app stores they haven't given themselves a magic get out of jail free card, it'll be very obvious to everyone what is going on.
If the PM in question copy-pastes LLM output into a status report, they won't last long.

If they read it, realize the LLM output missed a key point, disagree with the emphasis in a section, and failed to mention an underlying trend or concern---at that point the PM is engaging their own brain, fixing the issues, but is likely way faster to get to a good place. At that point the LLM is acting like a semi-competent intern.
This is a great summary. Obviously I bring my own perspective to this, because, well… it happened to me, and I “lost”. But my read was that the folks I disagreed with and ultimately parted ways with were falling into the bucket you label ‘there won’t be any obstacles what do you mean?’.

The tradeoff around “do we migrate to TS?” is a great example here, by the way. A huge part of our decision-making last year around the big app at LinkedIn was on exactly that question: If you are going to stop and throw the entire thing away, you should waste exactly zero time migrating any of it. On the other hand, if the thing is going to be migrated incrementally, you should accelerate the TS effort because it will make it so much easier to code-mod the code base.

(I don’t agree that it’s a “cartoon” podcast description, but it is definitely extremely compressed and Adam and I chose to focus on the personal dynamics over the technical details, because diving into the latter would have made for a 5-hour episode. Also: it’s really tricky to do any of this kind of public discussion in a way that doesn’t just end up reading as a one-sided self-defense!)

I agree, the replies I'm seeing to my initial comment are just dumb. One person replied "sugar daddy" which says more about them than it does about the word and use of "sugar." I get the impression that this thread attracted some hangry nerds who can't virtue signal fast enough about the horrors of sugar in food. We get it, but in the end, it's just a fun name for a kids product. Save your energy for the actual food industry, people. Yeesh.
I found a bunch of articles noting that the fine was imposed but I wasn’t able to find any indicating that it was actually collected.

The key difference I see in Apple's app store business is that it's a monopolistic marketplace model. If Apple allowed an alternative to the app store then this wouldn't be an issue. Take Microsoft and Windows as an example, they have the Microsoft store which operates as a marketplace with rules but they don't get the same scrutiny because there are alternatives. Don't like what MS is doing with their app store? Fine just release the binary yourself.

With Apple though, the bring it on themselves by having a monopolistic marketplace. Since they are the sole gatekeeper to getting apps on the iDevices, there is no alternative like there is in the MS ecosystem. Apple could end all scrutiny tomorrow if they allowed a way to install apps on iDevices that bypassed the app store and Epic would have no case.
Too bad just Internet Archive isn't enough, we also need anarchists like ArchiveTeam to actually mirror all the things, not just the things that agree to be mirrored.

Internet Archive generally allow websites to control if they get indexed/mirrored or not, via the robots.txt, so websites can decide for themselves.

Luckily, we have other grassroots movements like ArchiveTeam that doesn't care and archives anything deemed valuable to be archived, website owners be damned.
The fines Apple is going to collect for intentionally failing to comply with the DMA are going to be of Epic proportions, exceeding any profit they could have gotten by continuing to steal 30% from society. Ready your popcorn buckets for the next few months/years. They will likely be making an example out of Apple - after all Apple and Google are the reason for this legislation to exist in the first place.

Perhaps Apple needs to separate geographies in its account setup. Let Epic have the EU account, but disable them everywhere else.

Because in the US/Asia, Epic has no DMA protections.
Depends on which the situation requires.
WSL1, which no one should use right now, may and should be deprecated. However, WSL2 should not go away since it has completely transformed the dev experience for the better.

These providers are the sources of the strangest and most harmless but interesting traffic I have ever seen. Just the other day I was watching a node at BuyVM send my public DNS server a SYN packet every 10 seconds to port 53. The sequence number and source port stays the same, but the TTL decrements from 64 down to 1 in 64 seconds/packets. Checksums fail. No idea what they are enumerating or what script this is. Both my DNS daemon and the kernel know not to respond to any of it. They stopped before I restarted with debugging enabled. I also get a lot of scans looking for DKIM keys and other poor configurations coming from the providers on this list. I would never block any of it, too much fun to watch.
Not its mass directly, but you can use it to calculate the moment of inertia. Move the CMGs a fixed angle and looking at the responding change in rate of the ISS. Mass can be determined from maneuvers when you fire the thrusters. Assuming you know the force from the thrusters very well (this has its own errors) you can look at the acceleration from the orbit determination before and after the thruster burns and back out the mass.
But not a growing market. You don't get a 27.27 P/E ratio by selling phones to the same fraction of the general population. Indeed, that's "the same as many other consumer goods", so go check valuations of Nestle or Proctor & Gamble or whatever.

The point is that an Apple stock priced at a level commensurate with a static market would be a catastrophic loss of shareholder value.
Apple should get out of the European market entirely. Their product offering is literally incompatible with the laws that govern EU commerce.

There's plenty of money to be made in Asia/Pacific and the Americas.

Apple's walled-garden approach is innovative especially on the security and stability fronts and anyone who doesn't like that or wants alternative launchers should jailbreak their ios device or just use Android, which does fit better into EU market.

Apple has literally never cared and should never care what outside bodies (including to a large degree -- their own customers) want their products to be. It's what has made them unique in the past.

If Apple backs down on their vision then they are no longer Apple.
> I thought that Chrome would ship with specific dictionaries (say one for js, one for css, etc) and advertise them and you could use the same server-side. But this is really convoluted.

More convoluted, but I expect using an old version as the source for the dictionary will yield significantly better results than a generic dictionary for that type of file.

Of course it doesn't help the first load, which might be more noticeable than subsequent loads when not every object has been modified. Perhaps having a standard dictionary for each type for the first request and using a specific one when the old version if available, would give noticeable extra benefit for those first requests for minimal extra implementation effort.
Shielding the Epic game store under a different account is not the bravest move from Epic.

Worldcoin is one of the dumbest "this is technically possible so why not" ideas to be floated in the last few years, standing out even in the field of stupid cryptocurrency adjacent endeavors.

I still haven't really figured out why they want to scan eyeballs. Biometrics might be part of a secure solution to account access but I would hate to lose access to my account because I got in a accident and lost an eye.

I do not believe the conspiracy theories about gathering biometric data, if only because what would be the point? But the stated reasons are so silly that it is easy to believe in an ulterior motive.
If the choice is "use the platform everyone else is on" vs "don't exist", many people will choose the former.

That's not the same thing as wanting to use the platform.

> I think that the reason behind the astonishing rise of fake news is partly due to people wanting to believe things that they know are, at least, not totally true.

They don't know these things aren't true. Modern disinfo and psyops is sophisticated enough to be credible and plausible to its targets. It aims to identify already-existing grievances, perspectives, worldviews and frames of reference, then select actual events out of the random soup and create false narratives for them that reinforce or justify those pre-existing beliefs. Like how we see shapes in the clouds or the stars and ascribe meaning to them where none exists. It manipulates the human mind's penchant for pattern matching, even where the pattern is just a statistically inevitable artifact of randomness.

I wonder why Apple doesn't open up their platforms to have everything best on their devices instead of fighting and agonising developers and governments. Yes yes, the commission is nice but they might be killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

I mean, Apple is amazingly good in some areas but in some other areas their products are used only because they don't give a choice and they intent to keep it this way. They also want to control everything and provide all the services.

A bit short sighted and futile IMHO because the competition is catching up with their user experience but Apple doesn't catch up as quickly with the "smart" bits of the modern tech.

I recall a Steve Jobs speech about Apple doing a few things %20 better and other things worse and how he intents to change this by embracing the industry standards because they simply can't do everything by themselves.

I feel like Apple is doing the same mistake again where their products are becoming slightly better at few things and worse in others simply because you can't have the better stuff installed on Apple devices.
Look, this is confusing. Can I just call them Tim Epic and Tim Apple?
