> I don't think the EU can rule that Apple can't charge publishers to be on iOS.

Oh I think the EU can rule whatever they want on their domestic market. Apple can try to find all the holes they want, the Commission is probably just taking notes of those holes to fix them in the DMA 1.1

I really think Apple (and Meta, fwiw) is making a huge mistake if they think they are in position to negociate anything. DMA is here to fix competition issues on the european market and if the goal isnt reached, there will be enough iterations until achievement.

It's not a fight again Apple, it's about preserving the core of what is the EU : the European Single Market. The European Single Market was created after WWII with the goal to enforce peace on the european continent. The Single Market IS the European Union. There is no way they'll let Apple get around this. The only thing Apple don't understand is that the EU is traditionally really slow to act so they had an entire decade (and more) to think that locking access to the market in the EU was fine.
I just took a screenshot of the app store about an hour ago:

> The default [] API can be replaced with C++ classes that do bounds checks

Which means you subtly break the performance guarantees of code which makes migration to a new version more annoying.

> C++ 20 provides the std::array class to do precisely that

What? https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/array/operator_a...

> Returns a reference to the element at specified location pos. No bounds checking is performed

> option to disable native arrays in C++ code

Yeah, no that's not the only place where bounds checking shows up. Lots of places use pointers as iterators because the language lets you. So even if you shut off those avenues, code that uses pointers as iterators would remain exploitable. Of course it's a step improvement, but there's just no way to close the barn door for C++ unless you sacrifice performance to such a degree that the obvious question becomes "why restricted C/C++" which still has a bunch of footguns, is slow, and which has a really inconsistent API and language surface?
Well in this case they did amend the law through parliament.

You don't if you move from one relatively modern machine to another. My current laptop SATA SSD has moved between... 4 different machines, I think? I'll have to "make" when I move to an NVMe SSD, maybe, but it might largely just work. Time may tell.

If you do things the Microsoft way, you just sign into your MS account and your files show up via OneDrive, your apps and games come from the Microsoft store anyway.

There's plenty to fault Microsoft for. Like making it progressively more difficult to just use local accounts.

I don't think "cloning a machine from hardware a decade old onto a brand new laptop may require expertise" is one of them.
You can definitely treat it as a design flaw and fix it without impacting most systems.

Designers need to make radical changes before cockpit windows would need to be updated. That specific example may not seem like much but there’s a lot of safety critical engineering that goes into such things and yet design flaws where still uncovered.

You do not need cash in hands to invest. Instead, you print your own money (AWS credit) and use that to drive up the valuation, because this money costs you nothing today.

It might cost tomorrow though, when the company starts to use your services. However depending the deal structure they might not use all the credit, go belly up before credit is used or bought up by someone with real cash.
Not only does regenerative braking itself reduce PM emissions, the reduced demand on friction brakes is enabling some EVs, such as the Volkswagen ID3 and ID4, to switch to drum brakes.

Due to their enclosed nature, drum brakes greatly reduce PM emissions compared to disc brakes.
I read an interesting post from someone who claims to sit on an IRB here in the US.

In short, they were confused. The idea of suggesting more studies at a higher standards was a good thing. However, what puzzled them was that it was incredibly rare - at least in the US - to withhold existing treatments while those studies take place when not only have they been proven to have efficacy on a portion of the population, but the only treatment available. Pulling a treatment entirely seemed to be reserved only when there was absolutely no efficacy, such as in the case of a drug like Makena.

EDIT: You also bring up a good point - these drugs are being withheld for kids with gender dysphoria, but not for others. The more I read about the particulars of this ruling, the harder it is to avoid the idea that this is a political decision, and not one made with the kids well-being in mind.
Pythagora and similar frameworks are cool and very useful in the short term, but... Large-context models obviate the need for RAG and callgraph-augented generation.

But without a way to recoup the performance when you need it, then C++ potentially becomes as slow as things like Go or Java with extra footguns and slower developer speed. That's why Rust has `unsafe` and `unchecked` API methods that you can use in unsafe to bypass bounds checks. And it's an extremely consistent API surface to deal with (not to mention a much better thread safety story which Herb hand waves away as "not important because other languages also have thread safety issues" even though he admits no one is as bad as C++ here).

> Google used to sell a search appliance-in-a-box and eventually lost interest because hardware is so high-touch.

We had a GSA for intranet search and other than the paint this was a standard Dell server. I remember not being impressed by what the GSA could do.

We also had Google Urchin for web analytics, it wasn't a hardware appliance but the product wasn't very impressive either. They then killed that and tried to get you onto Google Analytics.

They just didn't commit to these on premise enterprise products.
Can you share some search terms you tried? I never had this problem, but I’m also not in the US so it might be different here
Yes you can. If you click on your profile, and then Settings->Applications->Configure you can see the permissions

If you have it installed for an organization its slightly different. Go to the organization, then Settings->Github Apps->Configure.

For me at least, it lists the permissions the app has. Additionally, if we ever want to request new permissions in the future, you will have to grant them.

Blueboard shuts down with no mention of returning assets
We utilized Blueboard for one of our employee recognition programs. Every year, on your anniversary, you were awarded a gift of your choosing. They provided a lot of fun options, from cooking classes, to furniture, to ski trips and everything in between.

Structurally, we paid them for each award and then they handled the administration of the awards, including concierge service as our employees redeemed them.

The result is that if an employee hasn't used an award, Blueboard was banking the money on their side.

In a 'fantastic' case study in how NOT to shutdown a company, today we (including all of our employees) got an email saying they were shutting down immediately. No mention of returning funds was made, which is the #1 question of any customer of theirs needs to know. A close #2 would be the status of awards that were currently in process or booked, also not mentioned in the email.

Does anyone have further information on this?
Has anyone been able to make contact with the team?
HPC, or scientific computing more generally, are slow when it comes to adopting modern software development practices. Most researchers used to only care about results above all, rather than reliability or reproducibility for other users. DOE initiatives [0] in the past couple years have done a lot to change this, though there are significant hurdles from a security and logistical standpoint [1]. For instance, to uncover issues in a PR, you might need to run the code at >64 nodes on a shared system.

One reason is limited memory and address space- the in-memory size of CP/M was something like 9K (including BIOS, BDOS and CCP). BASIC is at least another 8K. If you are using CP/M as a program loader, you don't want to waste that 8K.

Another is that BASIC was not extensible, at least not in any standard way. But CP/M was: to add a command to CP/M, you just add a .COM file of that name to the disk.
So now we can apparently have arbitrary 3rd party malware on yet another platform (it's not going to get less frequent by virtue of not being on the Apple App Store, is it?), who should I look to for decent, preferably also not battery killing, anti-virus software for iOS?
> Honestly debatable, considering the biggest names in this are Spotify and Epic

Epic is an American company, which reinforce my point.

> Most of the push for this seems to be pushed by developers who tried to spin this as "user choice" when its really "Developer choice".

And no, it's not the medium-size business that are spinning things around, they have far less lobbying power than Apple and very very little leverage on the European Commission (compared to Apple that got away with a lightning cable exception on the Micro-USB mandate from the European commission a decade ago). Only this time Apple's lobbying wasn't enough, and European people will have access to pieces of software that Apple was forbidding for no good reason (web browsers for starter).

Back in 2014 or so when I was still a web developer, I can tell you that Safari stood literally zero chance against the competition, and that the very poor state of the iPhone's monopoly browser was actually harming customers.

At the end of the day, the developer will still have very little leverage on the user (they cannot realistically force the user to use a non-app store version of their app), and the user will be the only one making their choice to use apps that come from outside the Apple app store. It's only about user choice.

So what is the avoided moderation and the failures of the upvoting system? Your rebuttal has too many irrelevant new arguments.

All I am saying here is that if some statements can't be read, others can't read the argument. An argument where others can't read one side's statements is not an equal argument. You must at least be able to make every comment you have conversed with readable. Otherwise it is just your speech.
This might be true for some areas but maybe not for others. Where we live is on the very edge of the NWS coverage. Our forecasts and messaging is generally a lot more “loose” than folks closer to the main NWS “office”.

I am not sure if this has to do with radar capability but all the old time hams seem to corroborate this.
If anything, NVIDIA H100 GPUs are too general purpose! The optimal compute for AI training would be more specialised, but then would be efficient at only one NN architecture. Until we know what the best architecture is, the general purpose clusters remain a good strategy.
It did - before cheapo enshittification started creeping in. I believe some time ago I saw some research on the quality of App Store app review process … zero protection.

But, even at this stage, Apple is still “the best”, because of the slower pace of the corruption and in comparison to the toxic dumpster fire of the alternatives.

As for madaidans-insecurities, they are extremely biased.

Just mentioning microg:

> which allows apps to request to bypass signature verification.

There is EXACTLY *one* app (k k k, two because of Play Store fake too) that bypasses signature verification, and you can VERIFY, which app does it, and WHICH signature it fakes. LineageOS integrated their own microg/fake signature mechanism thanks to Google anti-freedom policy, and you can review their own integration that is even more restricted than what I did (which already is infinitely more secure than what madaidans-insecurities mention): https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_frameworks_...

The final comment in the microg section basically sounds like "oh yeah, that argument could be completely wrong, meh"
At my university we were able to use an RDP client to log into windows machines with all the engineering software installed on them. Performance sucked, which is why people only did it if they had too. But it was manageable. R was one of the software packages.
It's an interesting situation.

We're all free not to buy Apple products if we don't like how they lock them down. There are several alternatives, Android being the most obvious. And yet, iPhones still sell well.

There are also minimum standards of behavior that we require of every participant in society, including regulations on the behavior of products.

The DMA's identification of "gatekeepers" makes a distinction between the requirements on products with smaller vs larger market shares. More successful products are now held to a higher standard, if you like.

This isn't unprecedented: progressive taxation, labor laws, etc -- there are many situations where this happens.

It's not like Apple has a monopoly on phones, but they're significant enough that the EU wants them to behave in a certain (different) way. Both the DMA and Apple's responses to it seem a bit clunky (so far). I expect it'll take some time for an equilibrium to emerge.

I think it's also notable that Apple now has (at least) three major different versions of its software/infrastructure: EU, China, and rest-of-world. I fear that's a trend that will only continue.
Or put another way, find a language, any language, that defines all possible scenarios of a file system race condition in a multi threading & multi process system. It's not possible to do such a thing, and of course nobody does. They just avoid using the term "undefined behavior" even though it absolutely is.

Which makes this whole thread absolutely absurd. It's the worst possible example of Rust vs. C++ CVE as the language doesn't get an opinion here at all in the first place
Did you paste that "burn" or did you actually release all that rage to reply to a one-sentence comment?

The comment above yours touches on something important. The US might not look lightly at foreign powers treating US companies in that way. The world of business and politics is give and take, it's not a video game where things can be done one-sided without consequences.
Ask HN: What do you think of continuously learning LLMs in production
What do you think of continuous learning in LLM apps?
Current LLM technology only allows generation or offline training, but not much support of continuous learning. This means that LLM apps cannot directly benefit from feedback acquired in production, for instance from user or environment feedback.
I see use cases that this can enable, like coding assistants learning from interpreter results, user feedback on customer support LLM agent, an AI browser learning from a failed tool usage or an AI worker going through an initial onboarding or training.
Current state of research can somehow enable this, like RAG, DPO, KTO or model editing but still some issues like sample efficiency and catastrophic forgetting.

Though the big question is whether learning should always happen offline or it would be useful to have models learn in production. Let me hear your thoughts.

Look at the measures that were implemented during covid. Many of them were a lot more extreme than shutting down datacentres, yet they were aimed to mitigate a risk far less than "existential".
Well, obviously not many! They haven't learned to communicate, which is a bit fundamental to having social skills.

Don't spend more than the bare minimum in crowded tourist traps Florence and Pisa. Say, no longer than two days and half a day, respectively. Rather, wind down in places like Lucca and Siena. Except the latter for a few days in July and August, when it becomes one of the craziest places on the planet. That's one of the few times when it might be actually ok to chase loud crowds that are totally losing their minds. (That's for an ancient and, from the outside, rather bizarre horse race. You won't get it until you're there.)
When I perform your search, I get legitimate results at the top, and I don't see the specific app from the Reddit thread. But about at about rank #7, I see an app that uses a distorted form of the same logo, a different unfamiliar publisher, a slightly altered title and a similar smattering of only a few reviews.

It sounds like somebody is burning developer accounts to keep reposting the scam app. Not unlike people being banned from a website and then resubscribing with a different email or through a VPN or whatever. It slipping through into your results isn't so much plain neglect as it is an arms race that Apple is on the losing side of this time.

Robust algorithmic ranking and moderation at scale is a myth, though, and you can find this happen pretty much everywhere. This one will probanly get squashed with some near-term update to their algorithm, and then get compromised again sometime later since crypto is so ripe for scamming.

You can't escape personal due diligence and "it was top ranked!" has never been that.

No clue. They have strong folks on their weather team, too. Not obvious what's gone wrong over there.
The weather forecasts in the UK are definitely much better than they were a decade ago, especially in the 3 to 14 day range. However, I still find my stupid heuristic works quite well for predicting tomorrow's weather: the weather tomorrow will be the same as what it was today. The UK often gets sticky ("blocking") weather patterns, so it works surprisingly well.

> Teams provided extremely good video conferences which was crucial in COVID

Company policies forced us to use Teams during COVID. "Absolute heap of burning shit" would seem like a clam, reasoned rational response if the company policy wasn't to force us to use WebEx before that. The problem isn't that those words are wrong, but they to be reserved for the most egregious case. And sadly Teams isn't it.

WebEx was (remains?) far worse than Teams. It's exactly what you would expect if a company decided to spend no more on development and let the head of the dev team go (he went onto found Zoom), and recoup the money spent by doing a big marketing push. Teams did at least get it's bugs fixed, the issue was more that they created so many new bugs on the way. The stench from WebEx never changed. It was always the same "absolute heap of burning shit".
