> I have a passport, I have a drivers license. There are individuals who have both of those identifications and a Tribal Nation identity card and a Veteran Health Identification Card too. Four different forms of ID for the same person - can those each be used once?

The point of government ID is that you have a complete government registry of allowed people, and ID cards are used to prove your association to that registry. For example, when I go to vote, there is a master list of everyone who is eligible to vote, and my name gets checked off the list. If I tried to vote again, well, my name is already checked off the list and I don't get to vote again because of that.

Or put differently, proof of identity isn't the same of proof authorization. ID cards prove identity; some other mechanism needs to prove authority to access the resource, and if necessary, it's that mechanism that prevents repeat access.
Amazing way to test if a new computer language is viable! I think that more people (including myself) should take this approach to language design.
Now I understand what you mean.

It has many differences.

Preface: I’m not in front end or flagship teams so I’m saying hearsay.

The initiative Chris refers to is still alive but likely hasn’t made any meaningful progress. These things tend to have a lot of fan fair and then suddenly leave the front conscious of the company as we get a new GDPR/DMA fire to put out. at that point it will be dead. Or, it will stay alive for 2+ years as slowly but surely 50% of clients migrate to it and see even poorer performance.

There was a blog here a few months ago about migration from restli to grpc. It’s still going on, and nearly every app i see is still restli.
CS2 – Intentional Team Kill Detection
Good communication doesn't consist of stating tautologies.
I only stayed long enough to migrate the service to Oracle infrastructure. Looks like they still offer it but when I left work was underway to roadmap decoupling what was then a OOP heavy Java monolith. I want to say primarily to move the UI/UX to Oracles internal standards and tech stack for such, but this was 2015; uuuuh I forget man.

My anecdote was based on interactions with sales, product, and senior engineering professionals. Internal culture seemed very forward thinking; work from home/anywhere Oracle had a business presence. Solid benefits, new parent leave, yoga/that kind of thing stipends. Though that may have been due to contractual obligation of the aquihire, and applied to my team only at that time. :shrug: The “problems” I saw were very much “first world problems”
They were wrong in their supposition. It's part of free market process, asymmetric information.
> 10% would be considered an extremely high death rate for soldiers involved in the fighting. Even 2.5% for healthcare workers is ridiculously high.

Hamas based their operations where conventional rules of war prohibit fire. That makes comparing casualty rates incredibly difficult. (To my knowledge, nobody else has done this so comprehensively. Though given its success, I expect it to be emulated. Which unfortunately means prohibitions on bombing hospitals, schools and places of worship are now obsolete.)
The justice system in this hypothetical would not be private, it's just that companies would be trying to sue each other for breaking the rules, accidentally advancing the public interest.
Yes, but you can't easily use your non-smartphone glucose monitor as a communications device to manage a bunch of drug dealers which can't be confiscated because your life depends on it. That changes once it's your smartphone.
Epic also doesn't want to be Apple's customer. No one would describe the relationship between Microsoft and Epic as "Epic being Microsoft's customer" because they distribute the Epic Games Store and Fortnite on Windows (Xbox console distribution notwithstanding; there it is more of a customer relationship).

Apple forces everyone who wants access to 50% of the mobile computing market into a customer-oriented relationship, and then complains when not everyone Thinks The Same as they do. Its disgusting behavior.
Most non-systemd-init distros use systemd-tmpfiles.
I wonder if "ent" evolved from "innit" under British colonization (or they both evolved from a common ancestor in British English).
Perhaps it's just me, but my gut says that EpicGames dot com might, possibly, just might, not be an entirely neutral source on the topic of "was Epic naughty?"

Even with screenshots, and assuming no false claims (which IIRC are entirely legal so long as you don't swear under oath), there's plenty of ways to mislead by omission while saying only true things.
Yet renting medical equipment is a flourishing business, at least in the U.S.
Oh, authoritarian EU. What is it, 2016 again?
For context, a total of 69 journalists were killed in WWII, 63 in the Vietnam war both of which lasted several years. As of today March 6th 2024, the Gaza invasion has left 86 journalists dead in less than 4 months. That is an amazingly high percentage for the expected mean in a conflict.

MS clearly knew what they were doing and they executed well. It's made fun of, but "developers, developers, developers" is right from Ballmer's time in the trenches, and he saw and knew that it was developers that got Windows over the hump.

IBM marketed it like an enterprise product, because they felt they only needed to sell it to "a few suits" like things they'd done before. Microsoft knew they needed to get everyone on it and developing for it, even if they had to eat piracy for decades to do so.
The decision then is between building "an automated Inkscape pipeline to turn text into plain paths" and creating a PNG.
It might be compressible. HTTP/3 includes compression of request headers. Base64 doesn't use the top two bits in a byte so it's compressible.

Ability to use offline for local home automation (eg: "given a verbal input request, determine the home devices in scope and their on/off state" => "given the current devices state and the verbal request, generate a list of home assistant actions to perform"), using a custom model for the above, etc.

You mean anti-owner, since you really own the device
For medical products though, it seems great. OTC hearing aids are a big win for society.
That’s fair enough imo. They do own the rights.
AFAIK, and I've seen news articles saying the same, Israel has not provided any evidence for its claim to have killed 12,000 Hamas fighters.

But the latest reported death toll is over 30k, 22k of whom are women and children. Another 10k or more are missing and presumed dead. If about one-third of the missing are adult men, matching the ratio of deaths, then about 12k adult men are dead or missing.

Is it plausible that Israel is so precise that all the adult men they've killed were Hamas fighters?
the reasoning at the time was that the protocols are "too chatty" .. they repeat msgs for discovery and also for transaction completeness more so than the carefully built TCP/IP in the 90s.

There is nothing wrong with most of the stack, if you go back before OpenTransport (a rewrite, didn't go far, imperfect)
Sadly it will probably receive very little consideration.
A great read on the topic: https://adamwathan.me/css-utility-classes-and-separation-of-...
The issue is that Epic doesn’t want to be Apple’s customer in the first place. They want to publish iOS apps. The fact that this requires them to be an Apple customer is the core problem.

Imagine if everyone wanting to publish a web app would have to be a customer of the respective browser vendors.

Everyone complains about Google and Mozilla and Safari and Edge. Luckily, that doesn’t prevent us from having our web apps running on those browsers.
Currently, quite comparable and obviously Instructor is more mature and feature rich. They're going the "patch the openAI client" approach which makes code written still use openAI SDK patterns which is pretty smart. Jason seems like he knows what he's doing.

We're trying to make it more of a language feature with the decorated functions. Plus exploring the hosted formatting model direction.

How do you feel this compares? Do you think there's any gaps in current tools worth working on?
If there is an anti-culture youth movement against iPhones, apple will be in serious trouble. Their revenue is heavily dependent on selling iphones and people using the app store.
See, my point is that they’ll do it already when it’s not even reasonable to do so. So when they take your phone away, which can be done so more credibly, why would you expect more protections?
I would love to see the results of that!
Apple hasn't left China. They'll rather compromise both their product vision and their Chinese users than then leave a market that's smaller (for them) than the EU.

A quick glance through these, they don't seem yet to leverage json_object on OpenAI with the word JSON in the prompt, which works wonders with the 0125 models.
This will be another issue determined by EU courts, but Apple is not justifying it as a show of force. They're justifying it based on Epic's prior breach of contract and statements they've made. I think based on the record, courts will side with Apple.
Oh I get using your thumb to click/hold like it's a button. I was questioning the three-finger-drag but the other comment answered it, the gesture is "sticky" so you can reposition quickly when you hit the edge.

Anyone know if we’ll be able to use Google Cloud credits for this?
That looks like it'd be an adjunct strategy IMO. In most cases you want to have the original source material on tap, it helps with explainability and citations.

That being said, it seems that everyone working at the state of the art is thinking about using LLMs to summarize chunks, and summarize groups of chunks in a hierarchical manner. RAPTOR (https://arxiv.org/html/2401.18059v1) was just published and is close to SoTA, and from a quick read I can already think of several directions to improve it, and that's not to brag but more to say how fertile the field is.
Looking forward to trying this out!

The only regulation we need here is a right-to-repair law, that requires hardware manufacturers to provide users root access to any firmware or software flashed onto the device.

Or maybe you think that if Apple went out of business, or simply decided to shut down the App Store tomorrow, then all the users with bricked devices should have no legal recourse.
"taxis generally can't refuse transportation to you"

The fact that it happens says nothing about whether it's right or not. In my opinion it's wrong and immoral that taxis can't refuse to service you. But taxis are very regulated in many places. In fact, for example, Uber is illegal in Colombia. And still, despite their legal status, Uber is not only very used in Colombia, but it's also safer than getting a normal taxi.

We already have private enforcement of many rules. Environmental ones, for example. We’re specifically discussing criminality, putting people in jail.
Quite baffling that success is measured in how much you raise.

Company burned more money than it made and winded down, impact on customers have been ultimately negative.

Where's the success?
The number of comments exceeds that number of votes. IIRC, that's one of the factors in the flamewar detector.
The BSD use in there wasn't because of love of standards but permissive licensing. Apple didn't develop CUPS. Apple's relationship with 'standards' has always been pretty complicated although it's mostly worked out for them.
My OnePlus 6 running Kupfer (Arch Linux ARM) [0] and my Shift6mq running Mobian [1] (Debian blend) in dual boot from microSDXC card [2] would like to have a word. Droidian (Halium-based Debian) also supports the enchilada.[3]

postgres is adequately efficient technology from last millennium, but at the level of execution efficiency it's pretty much the same as oracle, maybe a bit worse

more recent systems like impala, spark, kafka, cassandra, leveldb, influxdb, rocksdb, duckdb, monetdb, lmdb, sqlite, parquet, hbase, etc., are a lot more efficient at execution efficiency, though in many cases that's only 'up to such-and-such a scale' or 'above such-and-such a scale' or 'for such-and-such use cases'. there's a perhaps too comprehensive overview of the scene at https://github.com/newTendermint/awesome-bigdata

but the big business inefficiency with oracle is not technical, it's the human problem of not having control over your core business processes or the ability to continue carrying them out if, when oracle says 'jump', you say anything but 'how high?'
Here are some articles that specifically discuss what is wrong with Apple's approach in allowing alternative app stores.

https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/06/spoil-the-bunch/

https://proton.me/blog/apple-dma-compliance-plan-trap

> Introducing the Core Technology Fee (CTF), a junk fee that serves no purpose other than trapping popular apps in Apple’s current shakedown scheme. By charging a €.50 fee for each install after the first 1 million, Apple effectively uses a popular app’s scale against it to prevent it from using an alternative payment system or app store.

> If you decide to use anything other than Apple’s in-app purchase system, you’re forced to display a “scare screen” designed by Apple, which you cannot modify.

> Once you choose which policy you want to implement — the current App Store policy or Apple’s proposed new policy — your decision is permanent. So if you decide to take the risk of trying out alternative payments and it ends up working worse for your business, Apple doesn’t allow you to go back and instead traps you permanently.
All "Postgres as an X" are valid to a point. If your use case doesn't require anything else and you prefer to build / test / maintain dedicated (a little snowflakey probably) logic, fine. Unfortunately, few such articles discuss the edges at which these solutions no longer work.
Sweeney is the only one that seems to have the guts, the smarts and is willing to put his money where his mouth is against Apple and other bad actors. Whataboutism about console gaming is frankly laughable as is the notion that they have to fix all problems by the themselves at once or none of them count.
That's not really "bad stuff" the public would care about IMO, just some internal drama.
This doesn't really have anything to do with licensing. There are laws that prohibit businesses from e.g. refusing customers on the basis of race or sex and it doesn't matter if you're a restaurant or a hardware store or a flower shop.
Yes. TGI is Huggingface's version of LLVM (some nuance, of course). LLVM also launched grammar support recently too, so we'll be looking into it.

We're trained in school to get the "right" answer, and it triggers a dopamine rush when somebody tells us we're right, or we learn something that reinforces our belief that we're right, even if we already believe it. Makes us feel even more certain, superior, etc.
Plus one on this question! Seems very similar.
Tim Cook has overseen Apple's most profitable years - It makes and continues to make obscene piles of money. Why would the board or the shareholders vote him out?

If things go sideways, sure. But things haven't gone sideways. Day traders freak out about news stories, but the stock price has been a pretty solid to-the-right-and-up.
I have an extremely hard time buying into the idea that that the reason for making glucose monitors available over the counter is simply to increase the profit margins of drug stores.
Glad to hear they're improving, though the waste situation is bizarre. I will probably go back on one at some point, I didn't hate it, just didn't feel it was worth the cost/benefit ratio. It didn't impact my A1c, I've always been in the low 6s, and I've only had two lows that I would consider significant in my 25 years with the disease. Benefit just wasn't there for the hassle and price.
Real money? Or fiat money?

Real money would likely look like gold, or perhaps Bitcoin.

Fiat money would be strictly social contract based, in a Bernie Madoff sorta way.
Bullshit sugar is self-medication for depression/anxiety/psychological issues. Besides the fact it makes all those things worse, you can get the same effect from eating sweet foods richer in fibre and nutrients, and the “dose” people are using is like treating a toothache by taking 5 Tylenol. People aren’t carefully dosing out sugar in response to adverse events, they’re indulging in mega doses all day every day.

I know people who got type 2 diabetes from sugar usage and the vast majority of them magically find the willpower to cut sugar once it’s about to kill them. Not to say their diets were wonderful afterwards but few people are so addicted to sugar they couldn’t stop if they REALLY needed to. There’s a ton of learned helplessness and people just make things that aren’t their health their priority in life unless they’re forced to because it takes so much time and energy to eat a low sugar diet that they just decide they don’t care enough.

Man I guess the majority of Americans must be anxious and depressed given they’re all eating huge quantities of sugar. I guess if we label things an illness that means we need to both accept this and pat people on the back for taking charge of their health and self-medicating.
I don't think it applies in this case for the exact reasons stated, but the EU does indeed have a charter on fundamental rights that covers freedom of expression, among other things.

Apple Explains Why It Terminated Epic's Latest Developer Account
I love this! Reminds me of the campus network at Harvard. Around 1994-95 we had multiple zones, but only spotty understanding of networks by most users. I had a blast one day mocking up what looked like a Mac on-screen error message which said “Sorry, this Document could not be printed,” which I then printed on randomly-chosen printers across the University. Good times!
The fact that it was veterans leaving isn't just a writing on the wall but probably straight up first hand knowledge.
There is an article published in The Lanced where they investigated this. They found no evidence of inflated numbers. But if later they are found inflated anyway, this makes the high number of journalists killed more of an anomaly, not less.

Great to see it be OTC.
But it's weird that it is advertised to last for 15 days, while the prescription version for T1ds/T2ds only lasts for 10 days. The hardware looks the same.
I haven't noticed this as a consumer in the context we're talking right now. I think that article is measuring the difference between OTC and pharmacy pricing after a drug is approved OTC. But it is not looking at prices pre- vs. post- OTC approval.

Olopatadine eye drops are amazing for allergy season, and they used to be like $250-400/bottle just 5 years ago or so, even the generic version. Then they went OTC for like $10/bottle.

This pricing difference might be true for things that are already mostly cheap, like Omeprazole -- where branding on consumer products drives OTC markup, but consumers don't pick the brand when doctors prescribe it and the pharmacy just gives them whatever cheapest generic they have in the back that they negotiated excellent pricing on.

Though you can easily close the gap on these prices by shopping for the store-brand generics at Costco, Walmart, Sam's Club, etc.
Sure, but I'd think they'd want some sort of documentation, even just a model name, to suggest that you know what you're talking about. I literally said "uh I think so, the key is expensive to duplicate, is that an immobilizer?" because I didn't want to represent something I wasn't certain of, and they gave me the credit. I later researched it and found out yes, it does have one, but I didn't know and most consumers don't either.
Could just as well say they stopped being desperate. They cobbled together what they needed from where they could.
Type 1 diabetics have been managing their insulin for decades with occasional blood sugar testing - i.e. certainly not testing for every dose. They’d be fine to manage things for a period without a confiscated monitor.
eventually, but priority goes toward finding an abstraction that feels right. We're very likely to break this package API, still v0. Sticking with openai till we have more confidence in the foundation being correct.

Why didn't the EU force the removal of those requirements? Apple will keep playing games to make alternative stores uncompetitive and keep away unwanted developers.
That's true, but is there any reason to believe Apple is acting in such a discriminatory fashion against a protected class of citizen?
Do they? I'm not aware of cases (but generally not up to date on topics like this, genuinely curious)
Aside from the fun, how did it go? Find anything surprising or insightful in the process?

It sounds like an experiment I’d like to do for the purpose of optimizing my daily habits and establishing a better mental model for how my eating habits impact me throughout the day. But I really dislike needles.
