something something "those who give up freedom for security deserve neither" something something

The problem with the "freedom-for-security" tradeoff is that there is nothing to keep the security provider - a government or private corporation - from continuing to provide security once you've surrendered freedom. Apple was very good at combating scams and fraud on the App Store when the iPhone was new. The problem is, that's expensive, which is why Apple decided to charge 30% in the first place. Once competitors stopped trying to release mobile operating systems and users had been accustomed to "just download App Store stuff it's safe", Apple moved away from investing in App Store security. We can see this with how many outright scams wind up on the store today.

Singapore is a similar situation. The security a government is supposed to provide is protection against, say, organized criminals, but government and organized crime has the same structure, function, and incentives as one another. A government that takes away your freedom may be able to protect against organized crime, but that also lets them do exactly the same things organized crime might do. The only security this provides is security of Singapore's tax revenue and political control from appropriation by competing violence-users.

Same thing with Apple. They aren't securing you, they're securing themselves in power, with your security trickling down from their handcuffs.
Semi analysis posted recently noting that Meta locked in these purchases a while ago; something like a year or more. So they probably didn’t pay today’s spot rate.
I am not a fanboy, but I do use Apple products. They are pretty excellent, and every feature you stated is available within their ecosystem, and more. Their stuff is expensive but it works pretty well together and I've had nearly no issues. The physical quality is at least worth the price I paid for my Apple stuff. The closed ecosystem is semi-annoying to me as a developer but it really doesn't stop me from doing everything I want to.

tl;dr: Some people are just happy with Apple products; we're not cult members and saying that is insulting, frankly.
I don't dispute that in the least. I find that when people have a passion for something, they work for less. An example is post-docs or artists - they sometimes do this for the sheer joy of doing it, and businesses tend to exploit that.

The investors will milk it for what they can, then cash out, and, if Reddit ceases to be, similar to Twitter/X, c'est la vie...
Yes, I've seen aider and I think it's a super cool product!

We tried generating code diffs with our initial product. The issue we had was that when that diff started to grow, parsing it to determine whether it did the right thing became increasingly difficult.

We will generate code diffs in the future, but we're happy with generating the instructions for two main reasons:

-The LLMs seem to produce better output when you write out the intermediate steps

-The developer understands the thinking behind the code that was written. We feel that this is an important factor as the team size grows and developers have to interact more with each other's code
Linux is not competitive as a desktop platform for regular users, but linux did "salt the earth" for the Server market.
The amount of US attitude for the European market is staggering, and I'll be curious to see how many more fines they get for clearly and intentionally only doing the bare minimum required to be able to claim they're following regulations, with as many roadblocks as possible in place to make sure just enough content passes the bar to go "see? we've done the thing".
> you know any actual tab character in the input is a field separator, and then you can go through the fields to put back the escaped ones

The "\t" in "split" is not a "slash-tee" but an actual tab character and then escape sequences in fields are handled by the "unescape" function.

Flash was just as responsive as HTML+CSS: As much as the developer makes it responsive.

Also, flash was most certainly not pixel based. It was vector based and a common workflow was to create your graphics in the more powerful Adobe Illustrator, then import into flash for animation.
> Can you have a normal life without Xbox S or PS5? Yes => no need to regulate here

> Can you have a normal life without iOS or Android? No => it's an essential utility => let's regulate this

this is a silly false dilemma/double standard you've set up.

if you want to apply the "do I need this exact device" standard - then no, you do not need a PS5, and you do not need an iphone. Therefore there is no need for regulation.

if you want to apply the "can I live my life without this whole category of Thing" - you probably can't live your life without some form of entertainment, and some form of generalized computing device, right? So no, you can't "do without" something like a PS5 or a phone or a laptop, no.

And the Xbox and PS5 are general purpose computing devices - there is no technical reason you shouldn't be able to check emails or run a word processor on your Xbox, other than that's not the market segmentation MS wants. Again, this is an example of a device so successfully convincing people that it's really an appliance that literally the EU wrote it into a law that there's no need for this appliance to comply.

Again: what's the problem? Just do the same thing with the iphone.

regardless, you are choosing to ignore the whole point about Windows S - you certainly can't life your life without Windows or MacOS, right? And if you want to point to niche solutions... nobody is stopping you from buying a Sailphone, but you would probably agree that's not a sufficient solution for the market as a whole.

Again, the whole thing is very narrowly a bill of attainder, both in its written form and application. If the purpose is "protecting consumers" there is no logical reason to exclude Windows S or PS5 or Xbox or other general-purpose computing devices from being utilized as such by consumers.

The EU has no business to be declaring these classes of devices as having no need to comply with market act requirements, especially when the boundaries are so fuzzy. Apple TV is pushing into mobile gaming. Series S is pushing downwards into mobile gaming. What is the difference between these 2 classes of devices, why should one get a pass? Why should Motorola be allowed to refuse to unlock their bootloaders without voiding a warranty? Etc etc. Literally narrowly targeted at ios and nothing else - even when it would benefit the consumer.

And more generally people are deliberately (and knowingly) missing the point that these types of appliances are common and are widely accepted - literally so widely accepted that the EU wrote special permission for many of them. Phrasing it as if Apple is somehow uniquely denying users access to the capabilities of their hardware is incredibly misleading - literally the EU wrote into the DMA special permission for many vendors to continue denying their users access to the capabilities of their hardware.

But, it's apple, I get it, everyone hates apple. But at a technological level they're not special or different.

Well, the point is safety for existing code. If you can annotate pointers to match them with their bound you can as easily replace them with a span and avoid needing compiler heroics.

Edit: unless you absolutely need the change to be ABI stable, but even then there are ways around that.
I think they meant in the sense of bad things happen to airplanes often enough that you could find what looks like a pattern for any given manufacturer if you looked for it, and bad things happen in armed conflict often enough that you could find what looks like a pattern for any given side in an armed conflict if you looked for it.

Which isn't even to say that Israel and its armed forces are necessarily not behaving poorly in Gaza, rather that it's worth questioning whether we have enough evidence to conclude that they are behaving unusually poorly in Gaza, or if for a number of reasons other than an excess of sympathy for Gazans we are experiencing an unbelievably high level of scrutiny and criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza.
Reminiscent of AF447[0] which also involved pilots making conflicting inputs.

But all that does is let one app track your usage in that app. To do tracking outside of that, you'd need other apps to get access to another apps' local storage. Which you need the OS to give you permission to do.

We have toggles for preventing cell data usage, they could trivially do the same for wifi usage, or accessing other app's local storage.
+1 chatgpt or simialr tools are extremely useful, if you ask the right questions. I use for:
- code completion
- formatting: e.g show it sample format & dump unstructured data to convert to target format.
- debugging - stackoverflow type stuff
- achieving small specific tasks: what is linux command for XYZ etc
and many mentioned in above comment.
As long as you have voltage and temperature monitoring with either a relay or preferably a power-fet for each and every cell it is safe and reliable

The speed at which apple can alter their ToS is indeed a key differentiator.

Not saying Siemens is nefarious, but they do seem to be subverting the spirit of law. The conglomerate sure makes it easy to "reorganize" without due process for firing lots of employees.
Interesting and even more compelling pricing, indeed a very generous free tier.

I only wish this wasn't a javascript heavy thing and that I could interface with it in my language of choice. But as it says on the tin this is integrated well for the greater Astro ecosystem.
It was the result of antitrust regulations only inasmuch as it caused the government to begin legal proceedings against AT&T. It isn't the result of antitrust regulations in the legal sense, just the result of those antitrust regulations existing because had they not existed then there would be no case against AT&T and therefore no settlement. But those results were not an instance of antitrust regulation legally occurring. Certainly not within the sense I initially referred to it which was a regulation such that it could still be used today ("I thought GGP was referring to a real regulation that was later removed"). We can call the AT&T case a "one time regulation" in that it is not a law but was still carried out by the government even if technically optionally accepted by AT&T. But this is certainly different from a "real" regulation which is a written rule that takes affect every time the conditions of the rule are met, which was not the case in AT&T.

> so is this why valuation of Snapchat is that high

Snapchat was supposed to be the WhatsApp / Insta / Facebook killer, but its value is lower than all those platforms. It's still rather niche. In terms of privacy it's still a nightmare and looks like it won't be fixed soon because it's easy to monitor and the authorities like that.
Apple killed flash by not allowing it to run on their mobile devices. It's really as simple as that.

I think Apple claimed that Flash was too power hungry to run on a mobile device.

I was hired back in the day to convert a flash based app to a "Dynamic HTML" app. The flash developers all quit because they didn't want to work with HTML and Javascript. And this was all because the company wanted to support iPhones and iPads. And there were a lot of companies doing the same exact thing back then - abandoning Flash for HTML/Javascript/CSS.
Why penalize all truck and SUV drivers for the small number that cause accidents? I'm okay with registration fees being proportional to weight, but raising fees for SUVs and lowering them for EVs? This just smells like culture war to me: EVs good, SUVs bad!
> Are you suggesting that technology can solve political problems by psychological manipulation?

Not at all.

> That's a remarkable claim

I don't think so. I think it's self-evident.

You're not born knowing how to interact with others socially; it is learned. There is not one single technique for persuasion, but many rhetorical techniques. Therefore it follows that any given individual can learn to become more skillful and effective at social interaction, broadly. (I'm not specifically talking about manipulating or convincing others to do something they don't want.) It also follows that people can learn new social interaction techniques from each other and build on their skills by sharing. This is a form of technology; social structures and language are tools.

Social structures come in a range of complexities and types. Governments come in a range of complexities and types. Communication techniques, languages, ideas, etc. All can be built upon, adapted, and improved in effectiveness, as evidenced by the structures we've built upon the structures our ancestors have invented. For example, how do our legal codes compare to the Code of Hammurabi? Is it possible that Hammurabi could have spontaneously invented anything like the modern US penal system without building upon millennia of innovation?

And if we do agree that social interactions and structures can be improved upon, then the most remarkable claim would be to say that we must have already discovered all the techniques and their limits, and cannot learn new techniques for cooperation in new environments, without any evidence.
The heyday of Newgrounds was truly a golden age for stupid amateur cartoons and games.
That “complete failure” has already made Apple backtrack on their plans multiple times. It’s absurd, given what has happened in the last few weeks, to think everything is going to stay exactly as is.
> Oerlikon of Switzerland has brake pad technology that has near zero emissions and does not need replacing. It’s not in production due to pressure for revenue from service shops.

You're likely referring to DiscCover [1], a relatively recent development - at least Volvo Trucks has an agreement to use that technology [2].

The problem is that the car industry is notorious for long product development cycles. New inventions (unless you're Tesla, obviously) tend to take many years before they go from after-market / high performance tuning shops to mainstream models. It's not as bad as in aeronautics (if you want examples, look at GA still using leaded fuel and engine/airframe designs from the 70s or earlier), but still, there's no need to suggest conspiracies.

>There are so many things the company could do to regain geek-cred.

This implies they have lost geek cred. I think that Apple could install razor blades in their keyboards tomorrow and have more than half of HN believe it's a good thing.
The juicer method completely changed my stock-game. After trial and errors, here is what I do now:

- Chop the veggies into a pot and fill with some water

- Pour everything into a stand mixer and blend it (veggie smoothie)

- Cook the soup smoothie, add water if needed and strain in 2-steps (coarse & fine) afterwards

- Let the pulp cool and throw it into a juicer for maximum extraction

---

- You can sauté with oil in the beginning for additional flavours

- Simmer and reduce for more concentrated flavours in the end

Be aware, after tasting these intense veggie flavours, you won't be able to go back to normal veggie stock.
Interesting story! Sounds surprisingly adaptable technology, which makes me wonder why it has not been brought to this data - or maybe it has been...

I’ve read far more coherent anti-government polemics than the one you’ve written. Those didn’t convince me, and I doubt re-reading yours will. They’re so greyed out I can barely make them out anyway.

What you’ve mistaken as an ad hominem attack was me trying to tell you - even though you’re concerned of what the government may do here by passing laws, they’re doing much more with much less effort. I’m surprised that you were unable to grasp that.

I think the suggestion is that the field separator is an actual tab character (ascii code 9) but tabs inside the field are `\t`. So, splitting on the tab character always works because fields cannot contain ascii code 9 but must use the two character escape instead.
They have to be "compensated" in the intellectual property[0] sense of "we reserve the right to invent new reasons why we need to be compensated". Nothing is ever truly "paid for" or "owned" here.

It's not cynical nihilism. There's a lot of things I believe in. Just not this.

Many people get this kind of dopamine hit from saying that something is going to happen (similar to the one from telling people you're going to do something). "Twitter is going to fail in 2 weeks" / "Trump will be impeached next month" / "Hunter Biden is going to be jailed". It's traumschadenfreude.

Wishcasting is a kind of interesting, yes, but I think truth seeking is more interesting.

> It doesn't feel like my Russian comprehension diminished, but speaking it is a struggle.

I didn't know you could 'lose' a native language that you grew up with til near adulthood. Maybe speaking has more to do with muscle memory and hence easier to lose than a somewhat passive skill like listening and comprehension. Makes me wonder how language is stored and processed in the brain. Are there two complete separate regions for speaking and listening? That feels a bit inefficient.
Funny, Matz mentioned about it in RubyKaigi 2023 keynote, that it was made with the hope that it gets wider adoption in the industry, maybe even used in technical exams. It didn't get the expected result and he felt like it was a waste of time and effort.

>and low information density of the text.

Personally, I group all these things under 'style'. Perhaps, i should have used, 'presentation' instead. You've latched on that specific word and gone off. Point is that the post-training of these models, especially GPT from Open ai is doing a lot to how the writing (the default at least) presents long strings of text. Like how GPT-4 is almost compelled to end bouts of fiction prematurely in sunshine and rainbows. That technically isn't style but is part of what i was talking about.

>A professional writer works to communicate a lot with very little. LLMs work in the opposite way: you give it a prompt, then it blows it out into verbiage.

There's no reason you have to work this way with an LLM.

I explained a bit more in a sister comment. The stuff ain't vaporware and Oerlikon no vaporware producer either - they're in the brake business for many, many decades, with a rich history especially in train brakes.
I've never driven an EV. How do you approach stop signs and red lights other than braking? Is "engine braking" (regenerative braking?) strong enough to handle that big a fraction of slowing down in city traffic?
Chat GPT4 is a technological miracle, but it can only produce trite, formulaic text and it's _relentlessly_ polly-anna-ish. Everything reads like ad copy and it's easily identifiable.
Because they're zero-width. If you can't see them when you print your data, it's a machine-only separator, which makes it a bad separator for data that humans need to look at and work with.

(Because CSV is a terrible data exchange format in terms of information per byte. But that makes sense, because it's an intentionally human readable data exchange format, not a machine format)
