I think their point of view would be that they’re selling a global product and the value of serving a market needs to exceed the cost of the peculiarities of serving it.

Maybe there’s a complex solution here, but the naive one of global compliance to local demands needs an evaluation of cost vs reward. There’s also the somewhat possible concern that the EU might actually just be hostile to Apple and cutting losses now against possible future losses makes sense. (Again, remember we’re presuming order of magnitude increases in fines).
So now the truth.

Adobe claimed that if Apple had let them, they could have gotten Flash running on the first iPhone that had 128Kb of RAM and a 400Mhz processor. Safari could barely run on the phone. If you scrolled fast, you would get a checkerbox while waiting for the page to render.

When Adobe did finally bring Flash to mobile in 2010-2011 on Android, it required a 1Ghz processor and 1GB of RAM and it still ran badly. An iPhone with similar specs didn’t come out until 2011.

The iMac came with only USB in 1997 before most PCs fully adopted it. The original iPod played MP3s and later AAC files and even later standard H.264 and MPegs files.

The original iPhone only supported HTML5.
Zone transfer shenanigans? Only thing I know that DNS uses TCP for.
You almost always don't need a specialized or dedicated (blank). You can usually get away with using some boring off the shelf tech that can do the job, even if it isn't doing the job as perfectly as a dedicated (blank). Any additional cost in resources is probably offset by the savings in cognitive load and admin hours.

If you do, you're probably operating at a scale at which you have a whole big devops team to figure out, deploy, and manage your dedicated (blank). Or if you're really huge, you might be creating your dedicated (blank) in a way that's custom engineered around your problem.

Apple is just acting increasingly stupid. There's no word for it.
Seems like the message is, sure we lost our case against the EU so we have be more open on the platform/store, but we're just going to ban any developers who even try to take advantage of that. I suppose they're leveraging their duopoly/luxury positions to give everyone the finger. And once again I'm glad I have nothing to do with the Apple ecosystem.

That could go very wrongly if they're already at the end of the safety period when they're grabbed by the cops.
The game is mastermind with letters. Even mastermind probably has prior art. Also, hard to say that there is a right to stop clones given rules aren’t copyrightable.
Do you mean just in general, or are there known edge cases where Postgres performs poorly as a cache?
I don't see how it's possible to beat companies like Altium that have been continually improving the sch and pcb design experience for the last 30 years.

The AI is a cool idea. Maybe as an add-on? An import? A library? Collaboration? IDK, but details like via tenting properties on layer 3 are best left to the experts.

It will be difficult to differentiate from Otter, Fireflies, Sembly, Noty, Krisp, Tl;Dv, Supernormal, Spinach, Fathom, Airgram, Noota, Tactiq, Vowel, Jamie, and whatever's built in to Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams already.

I evaluated many of these for my company and ultimately found that they were pretty much all bad due to lack of customizability. I would suggest anyone here looking for an AI meeting note taker to write their own:

1. Pull down the raw recording (using built-in recording or Recall.ai).

2. Run it through Whisper or Deepgram with a custom prompt and custom vocabulary.

3. Run it through a basic LLM to correct common transcription errors specific to your company's vocabulary and remove filler words.

4. Run that through GPT-4 or your favorite powerful LLM to generate notes, iterating on the prompt to tailor it to your industry and meeting style.

All of my coworkers agreed that the custom solution (which took me a day to slap together and is close to free) is dramatically better than any of the off-the-shelf meeting note takers we have used, no contest. Being able to customize the transcription to capture industry-specific terms, acronyms, or internal codenames, is an absolute must.

When there's a big power imbalance, putting the onus on the service provider to give a valid reason for denying customers can be more impactful than laying the burden on a user to prove there was discrimination.

Depending on your race/ethnicity/disability/socioeconomic status, taxi drivers might refuse service even though it is against the law. It is easier to win against a taxi driver if they're obligated to explain why they didn't help someone in a wheelchair.

Even if the "hole" is plugged you'd have to prove in court you were being retaliated against. Vibes are not going to be enough. You'd need a decision maker's e-Mail saying "you know what, fuck Epic cancel their account". Without that smoking gun all Apple needs to do is show all the instances of Epic violating their contract. Same if they canceled your account because of violations.
> You can theorize all you want given a strike in 1892, but in the last 20 years demonstrate this is not the case.

The last 20 years demonstrate that America will charge it's largest domestic tech business with a breakup over just their stance on third-party browsers. There's not much left to the imagination.

> Hundreds of disruptive startups have emerged and become successful. Now compare this same ones to the EU.

Like ARM and STMicroelectronics? Once you look past the West-coast hype machines, there's quite a few European businesses that haven't been challenged by American competitors, startup or otherwise. Some of them are even considered critical components of American businesses, if you could believe that.
> They’d be fine…

But before long there will be diabetics that never really learned to do that because they never had to. Even people that have done that for decades still mess up dosing sometimes.

How likely is it that someone might die? I don’t know. But saying they will be fine might not be fair.
It can help your health but I'm concerned how often the data will get abused.
Have any other companies announced credible plans for a competing app store? I'm at least not aware of any, which would absolutely make Epic their main competitor.

It is pretty hilarious how people think some US court judgement would have any relevance on EU anti-trust regulation.

The sensor typically goes on the back of your upper arm (your tricep). You can accidentally bump into things with it, but it was infrequent enough that it didn’t bother me.

The needle is only used in the application of the sensor. It’s spring-loaded and retracts after the sensor is attached. I hate needles, but I found that the tape on the sensor provided enough stimuli to overwhelm my brain and not really feel the needle when it went in.
Like they said, self-identifying masochists!
They used BSD because then it could run Unix/POSIX applications instead of the ~0 third party applications that would have existed for a new operating system.

Apple hired the maintainer of CUPS and provided the resources necessary to make it good enough for the publishing market, while continuing to publish the source code. They had enough involvement in RFCs 5227, 5387, 6761, 6762 and 6886, among others, for their company name to be listed in the RFC.

It's almost as if calories aren't relevant, but that the effect that different foods have on the body is.

Also, I'm not sure what you're communicating with the point about nuts. Are you saying that a person will gain weight? Lose weight? Lose nothing? Depending on what you were implying, you might actually be proving the author's point.

By the way, I actually have done many experiments eating various monodiets, including nuts. The worst was walnuts. I love walnuts, but the end result was horrendous. I almost certainly would have lost weight because so much of the fats were not being absorbed (ALA is poorly metabolized) and passing through. On the other hand, fresh raw peanut butter (with a little salt) was not only satiating but well tolerated.

My experience reflects exactly why people object to CICO. Nobody is saying that two different substances can emit the same amount of heat measured in calories when burned in a bomb calorimeter. The root objection is that the body will treat different substances the same way. It's wildly untrue that you can just eat anything and predict a health outcome with 3rd grade arithmetic. CICO doesn't explain why I could sustain a diet solely of peanut butter (no sugar added) but couldn't eat a diet only of walnuts, to the point where the "calories" were coming out in my shit having not been oxidized.

How does the licensing issue actually manifest in a practical sense? By what mechanism(s) could this monetization occur? Is this sabre rattling or are small hardware designers actually getting bills for using premade footprints and models?

My understanding is that for healthy individuals, spiking blood glucose levels is not a problem. Did you get in to any of the research on that? Glucose is a problem for diabetics because they can’t regulate it, but healthy people can. At least this is loosely what I have heard, somewhat third hand. Any information is appreciated.

Epic also intentionally broke agreements with Apple before. Non-discriminatory doesn’t mean they have no grounds to terminate Epic’s developer accounts, and Epic is continuing to make themselves look untrustworthy by trying to publicly and explicitly shank Apple. Spotify is also trying to shank Apple in all the same places Epic is, but they also didn’t go behind Apple’s back to deceive the prior review process in contravention to a signed agreement, file suit and spin-out a pre-prepared publicity stunt-filled PR campaign and then go on to court to testify that all of that was done on purpose. Tim Sweeney and Epic did.

It sucks because I was hoping this fight was basically in the rear-view mirror now, but it’s hard to argue Apple has no grounds for calling Epic untrustworthy and not even maintaining an arms-length business relationship in one jurisdiction with them. Who’s to say Epic wouldn’t try something similar again? Apple can still set terms under the DMA, and Tim has been publicly campaigning that these terms violate the DMA which isn’t actually his call to make.

Also one other point:

> Apple don't get to deny access to their main competitor in this space

As of today, and yesterday, and going back to the dawn of the iPhone: Epic isn’t anything in “this space” let alone Apple’s main competitor. They have stated that they intend to compete, and want to compete with Apple in this space, but Epic’s iPhone app marketplace is vaporware. It hasn’t shipped, it doesn’t look like they’re going to be able to ship now, and in its entire history of being discussed, has earned Epic €0.00 to date.
The issue for Apple is that their hardware business is slowing down due to market saturation. Their recent attempt at growth into a new hardware market (Vision Pro) seems like a huge dud. Their last successful new product was the Watch which at about 100 million sales in total is only half of a single year’s iPhone sales (and likely less profitable).

So where do they go from here?
No it never gets in the way. I would not recommend doing it unless you are a diabetic, the results are not that interesting. It took me two years to get used to smacking that needle into the upper arm/stomach/leg, spending up to 20 min -40 min getting over the fear was not a fun time.
Exactly this. I threw bread out of my diet and counted calories for a year. I ate plenty of chocolate and sweets but still lost a substantial amount of fat. 0.5-2kg a month, depending on a month. All together I lost 16kg in a year.
As an EU citizen, I would choose Apple without hesitation.
That looks cool.

Won't the damage be done by the time you detect it? Extensions auto-update by default and there are only hacky ways to prevent this. This has always bothered me since just because I trust an extension now, doesn't mean I'll trust the next update that gets automatically applied.
If you don't speak the language, then of course it won't make sense to you, but what relevance does it have to the conversation?

As for expecting "print" to go to printer, I doubt that's the default expectation of anyone under the age of ~35 at this point.

Array languages rely heavily on idiosyncratic conventions/idioms that are utterly alien to all outsiders. Hence why they don't see uptake, and that is not going to change until their proponents are going to take this seriously. This all reminds me how Lisp adherents keep saying that syntax doesn't matter, except, looking at the actual adoption of Lisp, it evidently does. You are not going to convince everyone else to learn to "hold it the right way".
No, I get those all day long. Both zone transfer requests and attempts to do dynamic DNS updates which my DNS does not support dynamic DNS. My daemon will respond to those with rejected and NotImpl. Neither my DNS daemon nor the OS even responded to these probes and it was not even my doing. No SynAck from me so the kernel knew these were malformed or something I've enabled logging of invalid packets. Maybe they will try again.

For completeness sake TCP is used for a few other things on DNS these days such as falling back to TCP when the client does not support EDNS and the packet is bigger than 512 bytes which is common with DNSSEC. I do not have any large records. TCP is also used when encryption is implemented (DNS Over TLS) but that is usually on port 853 though it can be supported on 53 encryption can be opportunistic.
presumably apple's ban on epic games is for life, not just for a year or two. and registering a new account doesn't change that - it's just ban evasion.

to wit: you are still banned from reddit or paypal or any other online service, even if you create a new account. if they can link it they'll ban that one too.

and this is a new account that epic games tried to register recently. so it got banned too. Not that complex/hard a concept really, unless you're trying not to understand it.

again, do you think you have a right to create a second reddit account after your first one got banned from the service? how about a bank account, do you get a do-over if you do some fraud and get your first account banned?
The lack of familiarity was exactly my point? If you make a new language with a + symbol but spelled out the other functions, newcomers would understand it immediately. If you have whatever that Christmas tree symbol is, newcomers will be continuously looking up what they mean. You are making the language harder to learn for the sake of code golf.

And if you had a toggle-able mode, you could still have your code golf.

I would not underestimate the how shortsighted people are -- most of my peers are PhD students and most of them skip meals. Anecdotally, none of my flatmates eat breakfast, and my office mates often skip lunch and/or dinner because they have a meeting. The food offered at the university is a steal for the price and how convenient it is. These people are not out of money, they are (work) sprinting.
Same problem with etags.

This is such a great comment. Thank you for having so much empathy and willingness to meet people where they are. I hate how smug people can be these days.

It's been a Firefox option to block them for a decade, and I've had them blocked for that long. Maybe 2%-3% of sites fail, and I've yet to find a site worth unblocking.

Agreed.

And Epic is an actively deceptive business partner that forms agreements with the intent to break them.

Both bad, as I say.
The reason I use Redis as a cache is raw speed. I would consider using this Postgres-based solution if the speed was comparable. The article leaves benchmarking up to the reader.

Is the theory tied to a specific llm? I'm interpreting it as, e.g., the llm writes the code, the solver verifies it, repeat until correct. In this situation the two are decoupled and the llm would be a drop in and thusly could be any local or remote llm. Is there something about your approach that doesn't allow this?

They've tried becoming a bank (or banking reseller at least) with Apple Card which now has savings accounts and such. They're also apparently doing some AI work that could be interesting. But yeah, this is the real issue. Number must always go up and mobile is a saturated market now.

Here it is easy since Apple admitted to it. Them bringing up all of Epics recent criticism of them here works against them, it is like talking a lot about someone's race when you fire them, that doesn't look good in court even if you also gave another reason. For example firing someone with the reason "He was a lazy black guy" could be read as you firing him for being lazy, but I doubt courts would see it that way.

The fact that they went to market with a $3.5k price tag tells me they just aren’t serious about wide adoption, period.
I feel strange having watched from afar as apple abused their users over and over, and then see apple users be surprised and horrified at this more recent behavior.

They have not changed one bit. This was always apple, behavior which everyone who purchased their status symbol focused products at insane markups supported.
I'm currently wearing the Freestyle Libre 3. It communicates with the app every minute. I have something between pre-diabetes and diabetes so I have a slight chance at being able to treat my condition with diet/weight/exercise. Its definitely changing my behavior--I'm aware that it is not as accurate as the stick test but I have a plot of my blood sugar throughout the day. Currently I'm consuming very little carbohydrates. I've learned from my own data what foods will cause my blood sugar to spike.

The app is missing some obvious features, and people are right to complain, but its way better it seems than devices that came before.
