Einsteins notation (X_n Y^n being defined as sum over ‘n’ of X_n times Y^n) is one of the most elegant and simple solutions that really work.

If if you need x_n = y_n * z_n, you would write just that. Only when you write y_n * z^n would the notation imply summation over n.
I don’t see Messaging interoperability of the iMessage protocol in the complaint.

I see:

* third-party apps not being able to send/receive carrier messages (SMS)

* only Messages getting background running

* blue/green colored bubbles.

The background running thing is a bit of a surprise. If you had asked me, I’d have said iMessages didn’t run in the background given it’s load delay for new messages.
This is very much not an isolated thing. People are very lazy and don't want to change their usual patterns unless something goes really wrong.

I would love to not use Discord, but I'd lose messaging with about half my social circle.
It is good that America is taking a hard look at its technology companies. They are stifling innovation by technical and legal means in a way that would have killed early Silicon Valley if it had existed at the time.

The equivalent of IBM PC clones (cloned iPhones) are technically impossible today because of increased platform security. You can't even clone components of an iPhone because every component has a secure enclave and remote attestation.

Essentially adversarial compatibility is dead today without a new legal framework guaranteeing it.

I've built something similar before for my previous company's wiki, even before Google Docs introduced their link preview. It was quite well received, and I think it is still used there.

Security and utility are in opposing balances often. The safest possible computer is one buried far underground without any cables in a faraday cage. Not very useful.

> We’re not inserting the security community into that loop and slowing things down just so people can download random programs onto their computers and run them at random. That’s just a stupid thing to do, there’s no way to make it safe, and there never will be.

Setting aside JavaScript, you can see this today with cloud computers which have largely displaced private clouds. These run untrusted code on shared computers. Fundamentally that’s what they’re doing because that’s what you need for economies of scale, durability, availability, etc. So figuring out a way to run untrusted code on another machine safely is fundamentally a desirable goal. That’s why people are trying to do homomorphic encryption - so that the “safely” part can go both ways and both the HW owner and the “untrusted” SW don’t need to trust each other to execute said code.

The problem is that "less secure" is not exactly meaningful without a lot of clarifications.

I'm no security expert, but I know that security is certainly not a linear, at the very least it's some multi-dimensional thing that's exceptionally hard to generalize.

One system can be more or less secure than another for some party or parties, for some particular threat models if you can or cannot install certain apps, etc etc. Skipping all those bits makes the statement vague, increasing the risk of misunderstanding of the implied conditions.

Just a quick example. Installing an app could paradoxically make the device simultaneously more and less secure for the owner. Let's say it's an advanced firewall app. On the one hand it improves the network hygiene, improving the device security against its network peers. On the other hand, it may help in compromising the device, if someone gains access to its control interface and exploits it for nefarious purposes.

Once the hotel is big enough this will occur so frequently that all those locksmith bills and new doors incur a notable cost, enough that for your next lock system you choose something that lets hotel employees override the deadbolt.

While I still use Reddit often I kind of hope this marks the decline and something new emerges. Pretty much anything and everything their army of devs have built over the past 5+ years has been anti user. I can't even remember the last time a positive new feature was added. (This also kind of feels broadly true for the majority of the consumer apps in recent years -- remember the 2010's when devs actually added new features for users to apps on a regular basis?)

There are countless things I assumed would have been fixed years and years ago that never have been. For example the trash search engine where you are better off using google with site:reddit.com. I do wonder if it's incompetence or intentional.

Would love to see something in a vein similar to what BlueSky is attempting with twitter clone for reddit. Have a lot of ideas in this area lately.
Hi,

I created a starter template for next.js, it also contains typescript, tailwind, shadcn/ui, next-auth, testing tools and more useful features.

Therefore, I would like to ask for feedback and any missing functionalities.

If you liked the project, I will appreciate if you leave a star.
Astonished people don't see the link with the timing.
And yet no one would ever want or think of locking down MacOS like they have locked down iOS. Turns out that grown ups don't need Apple to babysit them for additional "security" when everybody knows that Apple's real reason is just money+greed and the "security" talking point is just a convenient smokescreen.
That's done with the "highlights.scm" query (https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/syntax-highlightin...) that maps nodes to their types with lots of standard names (https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter/blob/master/highl...).

The maintainer of the tree-sitter grammar is usually one who maintains that mapping. At least, every time I've wanted to use it, it's been the case that all of that was already done and part of the grammar's repo.

You literally have no idea what work he's exposed to from his engineering teams, and you have become the thing you hate by making authoritative sounding statements about subjects which you cannot know everything.

If you can't prevent yourself from making such statements, I'm not sure how you expect anyone else to.

Even if Apple supports RCS, iMessage supports many features that RCS does not. It will still be a two-tier system but the tiers will be somewhat closer.
The user quality on Reddit really has taken a nosedive over the years. I recall looking at some thread recently related to online services for consoles. The overwhelming sentiment in the thread was something like "I already pay for internet why should I pay for XBox Live". Maybe the thread was just especially full of children.

I remember people on Reddit (10 years ago) used to be knowledgeable and when new information appeared, that would matter. There's just so much ignorance now.
Appears to be about $341k

""A Securities and Exchange Commission filing said Huffman in 2023 got a salary of $341,346, which is relatively low for a CEO of a major public corporation. In February, this was raised to $550,000. He also got a $792,000 bonus last year based on Reddit's user numbers, revenue, and a type of profitability known as adjusted EBITDA that excludes certain expenses."

"The bulk of his compensation package is now in restricted stock units and stock options. A lot of this compensation is based on Huffman staying at Reddit through late 2028, and some is triggered by completing Reddit's initial public offering, the SEC filing said.

Half of the stock options vest at $25.29, a relatively easy bar to reach. The other half vest only if Reddit shares reach $45, $60, and $90 in public-market trading over 10 years, the SEC filing says — that's a higher bar and aligns the CEO's interests with shareholders."
Now show us the percentage of those that are real people and not bots, and the number of accounts that are from previously banned users. I mean heck I've gotten to the point where I can only go 2 or 3 months before my account gets banned and then I have to spin up a new one.

Come to think of it that might be a reason why their ban happy, more people you ban who come back looks like a new user signup.

That isn't new either. What has changed is some have found what looks like a path to monetization that seems like it might actually work. 20 years ago they never found a path to monetization at all. You just forgot about the other failed ones because they never went anywhere (though the source code may still be out there).

Show HN: Turn a video of an app into a functional prototype with Claude Opus
Hey everyone,

I’m the maintainer of the popular screenshot-to-code repo on Github (46k+ stars).

When Claude Opus was released, I thought to myself what if you could send in a video of yourself using a website or app, would the LLM be able to build it as a functional prototype? To my surprise, it worked quite well.

Here are two examples:

* In this video, you can see the AI replicating Google with auto-complete suggestions and a search results page (failed at putting the results on a separate page). https://streamable.com/s24pq6

* Here, we show it a multi-step form (https://tally.so/templates/online-quiz/V3qOnk) and ask Claude to re-create it. It does a really good job! https://streamable.com/gstsgn

The technical details: Claude Opus only allows you to send a max of 20 images so 20 frames are extracted from the video, and passed along with a prompt that uses a lot of Claude-specific techniques such as using XML tags and pre-filling an assistant response. In total, 2 passes are performed with the second pass instructing the AI improve on the first attempt. More passes might help as well. While I think the model has Google.com memorized but for many other multi-page/screen apps, it tends to work quite well.

You can try it out by downloading the Github repo and setting up a Anthropic API key in backend/.env Be warned that one creation/iteration (with 2 passes) can be quite expensive ($3-6 dollars).
It is simple. A bike will be stable without a rider because if it tilts to the left, the front wheel will also tilt to the left (as the hinge is behind the center of gravity). This results in a left turn, and the centrifugal force of the turn will bring the bike back upright and straighten the wheel.

The rider turns the bike by moving the handle bars slightly in the opposite direction he wants to turn. Then the bike falls in the direction he wants to turn, and the handle bars are then rotated in that direction. To straighten out, the handle bars turn a little tighter, and the centrifugal force of the turn pushes the bike back upright.

First party data alone can't tell you whether an ad resulted in a sale, unless you own the entire process on your platform. Contrast this with what Apple has via its app store; the fees do more than generate money.
CEO and COO compensation is mostly stock, so you can't do math like this.
Imagine, if you will, a creature with the intelligence of a toddler, and an incurable urge to remove everything that walks on two legs from its territory. Now give that creature the strength to lift an adult human.
> Apple also collects fees from banks for using Apple Pay

15 basis points (0.15%) from the issuing bank on something that _undoubtably_ increases tx volume and associated interchange revenue. Sure, the issuing banks would like tx volume for absolutely free. Sure, DOJ should argue the point on NFC access. But 15bp from the party that's making more money on a service that's free and beneficial for {consumer, merchant, card network} just seems like good business.
Indeed, like it or not, the people who complained are the power users, a very vocal minority who still use old.reddit. Normal people don't give a shit about any of the controversy.

It doesn’t matter. That’s how teens are using it today.
It's not sms, it's mms, and it is in fact a technical limitation.

Honestly we should just sunset MMS entirely. It's like using 56k dialup.
Good, its less efficient for every metric.
It's often a compatibility thing too. Insecure standards can often coexist because they're the lowest common denominator. It's just a "password" stored and transmitted as plaintext.

A secure system would involve a PKI which increases complexity and management overhead significantly (you won't be able to just copy "passwords" from one system to another, etc).
> The feedback loop that powers everything is: faster chips allow better engineering and science, creating faster chips. We’re not inserting the security community into that loop and slowing things down just so people can download random programs onto their computers and run them at random. That’s just a stupid thing to do, there’s no way to make it safe, and there never will be.

Note that in the vast majority of cases, crypto-related code isn't what we spend compute cycles on. If there was a straightforward, cross-architecture mechanism to say, "run this code on a single physical core with no branch prediction, no shared caches, and using in-order execution" then the real-world performance impact would be minimal, but the security benefits would be huge.
Yeah, there are some inconsistencies with Apple products interop-ing with non-Apple stuff.

I've noticed this with wireless bluetooth headphone pairing. Sometimes it works, othertimes there are odd limitations and devices unpair randomly.

Also Samsung's Adaptive Fast Charging sends lower wattage through the cable if it detects a non-Samsung device. So Apple is not the only offender here.
> It is by no means unfair, immoral, or unethical for a company to prefer and promote their own products.

Unfairness is at the heart of so many antitrust lawsuits (whether successful or not). Anyone old enough to recall Microsoft in the 1990s would say that many people (not at MSFT) were pointing out how unfair bundling Internet Explorer was. You may disagree but it was one of the reasons MSFT got sued.
It seems the site is down so I typed cache:https://mastodon.lawprofs.org/@jtlg/112052299948819084 on Google and checked the text version. Here's what it says:

That's very grim indeed.
Then that's not believing in creationism, that's believing in evolution. You wouldn't "not believe in fusion theory" because you believe God created the sun through the process of inventing a universe that sustains nuclear reactions. You would just believe in fusion, as a part of God's creation.

To be fair, Apple has said a lot of things. Wasn't FaceTime supposed to be an open standard and that never happened? If they give a specific target date I'd feel more encouraged.
This is why high core counts and isolation matter. Isolate the code to a specific core. Assuming everything is working as intended, an exploit won’t compromise other tenants.
I think this pretty much kills the idea of Corporation being a good stuart of Open Source Software user needs over long term...

We need to better recognize the difference between "Foundation" owned software like PostgreSQL vs Corporation Owner like Open Source. When you focus in "Maximizing shareholder value" the goal of keeping your user freedoms will inevitably be put aside.

It would be much better choice for Redis community if Antirez would seporate his employment from Project ownership and leave it in hands of some non profit. Something like Apache Redis would be much better for community and it also would allow Redis Labs to build proprietary extensions and cloud business around it.

>so minute at each step that they wouldn't significantly impact an organism's survival at any given time.

That's the thing. Evolution isn't "survival of the fittest" or even "driven by more efficient anything", evolution is simply; if you die before you pass on your genes, you don't pass on your genes. Over long enough time scales, with large enough populations, with tight enough tolerances and strict enough niches, the system roughly approximates a directed iteration of more efficient parts.

Nothing about evolution prevents carrying forward explicitly negative mutations! Nothing about evolution prevents carrying completely unused functionality and features! Nothing about evolution guarantees monotonically increasing fitness!

The giraffe has a certain nerve that goes from it's brain, all the way down around it's aorta, back up it's neck, to it's tongue. It does this, because in the fish we all evolved from, such a detour was less than a centimeter longer than an "optimal" path, and as each next generation went in different directions, it's just not that big a deal. A few hundred extra calories in development, and rare instances of a negative injury outcome are just not going to get fixed, because evolution is almost never vigilant. Most higher level animals have mating behaviors that explicitly favor "wasted" energy, including the long neck of giraffes! Sexual selection has a stronger influence on most animals than evolutionary pressure.

> Also given the extremely slow process of evolution and the relatively short number of iterations it is infeasible to suggest such a solution

This is silly. The vast majority of the ground work for complex life was developed by single celled organisms that produced a new generation every half hour, there were billions of these little creatures experiencing basically any possible mutation all the time, and a water droplet with a billion short lived single cells is exactly the kind of tight tolerance, competitive atmosphere where evolution is most prominent!

Evolution is not iteration. Evolution is pruning bad branches in your breadth first tree based algorithm.
Moderation and how horrible is the Reddit app is the thing that turned me off most.

The fact that Reddit keeps growing despite it's flaws and terrible management, let alone moderation, says a lot about the combination of a simple but effective product and critical mass.

You should be wary of any aircraft that has been worked on by Spirit AeroSystems (not to be confused with Spirit Airlines), which also does work for Airbus and others. The issue with Boeing is entirely poor management that continues to funnel work to Spirit.
