USvApple is meant to be similar to USvMicrosoft, but marketshare is so different
US v. MS in the 90s was big and I'd agree quite helpful. The argument then was "MS has a monopoly and is using it to squash competition from competing applications" And going by the numbers they absolutely did have a monopoly[1]. Macintosh was a rounding error compared to IBM PC.

This new fight over the iPhone seems so drastically different in one key aspect. Apple does have a large share and the court can decide whether it's unfairly treating competing apps but... it is clearly not a monopoly, iPhone only accounts for 25% of sales, far less than Microsoft owning the computer market in the 90s.

Any one have any takes on this aspect? Does the market share not matter just the practices?

> intentional limitations that cut everyone down to the same height make something approachable and feel friendly

I wonder if generative ai might someday have a similar effect? Imagine a "make me a game" tool, with LLM-like "Fortnight, in space, with cute animals, and classical music". Ok... "the default music sync with action is fine, but as health declines, make the tone darker. And give my dog an oboe theme." Removing design-space cliffs, scattering defaults and highways, adding exoskeletons, as alternatives to shortened horizons. Kids today finger paint with pigments that would be the envy of painters past who ground their own - "use only charcoal" still has a role, but... there's also neon pens with sparkles for diaries, stamps in kid paint programs, and ... . Imagine a future coloring book, with speech to text to outline image, collaborative coloring, and "ok, now make that a 3D rigged avatar, skinned in the style of an oil painting". Making it easier to fly around the space, rather than lowering the ceiling.
The sprawl isn't always low density. Normally it is but some have dense areas.

The trouble with this plan is that downtown land is more expensive than rural land. The land area you need to efficiently build the check-in facilities will be similar whether you put it on site or away from the airport. So you'd spend more for the off-site and then still have to build a people mover that provides zero benefit to anyone not going to and from the airport.

It makes far more sense to build the airport far away and add a public rail service to it that can also serve non-airport passengers.
> Even so, "likely" here is something like "better than 50:50". Your claim was "very very rare" and that's not supported by the evidence.

You're free to disagree, obviously, but I think it's accurate to describe a race condition that doesn't happen in 100 hours on a multiple machines with clock rates north of 3GHz as "very very rare". That particular code containing the bug has probably executed tens of millions of times on my little pile of machines alone.

> It's a promise of odds with error bars, don't be so nitpicky.

No, it's not. I'm not being nitpicky, the word "promise" is entirely inapplicable to statistics.
Show HN: FrontendEase – Taking frontend development off your plate
Today I'm launching my new product: FrontendEase

FrontendEase's goal is to take frontend development off companies plates by a monthly subscription service that ensures companies have seamless access to top-tier frontend solutions without the hassle of recruitment, unreliable freelancers, or out-of-touch agencies.

- Currently $2,500/month Pause or cancel anytime

- Unlimited tasks, delivering one task at a time

- Async first. You don't like meetings, I don't like them either

- Communicating every other day on Slack (or your preferred communication channel)

It's much cheaper to use FrontendEase than hiring a full-time senior-level frontend engineer, it currently demands a salary exceeding $150,000 annually, along with benefits (and it's quite a challenge to find a good one available).

I'd love to hear any feedback!
Size is an issue, because with more people in a chat, there's an exponentially higher chance that someone doesn't have RCS or has some issue with it.
Zapier is definitely trying, but they're not there yet. That feature unfortunately doesn't do much to configure the blocks for you (it just selects which to use) -- you're largely left to sift through the same menus to set it up.
I was hoping this was going to be a series of DCGs in Prolog and not LLMs

There are plenty of options.
Yes, I think this is the right argument to have - what constitutes acceptable evidence for an individual to believe something, and what evidence is there, rather than trying to say faith is by definition stupid and therefore people who have faith are stupid, which as I say is a strawman.
I certainly understand that sentiment, but a ton of people commute 30 miles daily (or more). Even if you live "near an airport", you probably live 15+ miles from an airport. Tottenham London to Heathrow is 24 miles by car. The British Museum to Heathrow is 19 miles. Columbia University on the Upper West Side to JFK is 17 miles. DC to Dulles is 26 miles. Downtown Denver is 25 miles to the airport. SF to SFO is 14 miles. LA to LAX is 20 miles. The Loop in Chicago to O'Hare is 17 miles. Dallas to DFW is 21 miles. Houston is 22 miles. Seattle to SeaTac is 15 miles.

Most cities don't have airports that close to the city. Maybe you live in San Diego and the airport is right there downtown, but most people are traveling to get to their airport. Ok, maybe you don't want to take a train and can hire an airport van or whatever, but you're likely traveling a distance to get to an airport.

I'm not saying that it isn't nice to have a more convenient airport, but if we're being realistic about climate change air travel is going to have to be something we do sparingly rather than often. People in the US, UK, Germany, and France currently emit an average of 15t, 5t, 8t, and 5t of CO2 respectively. A trip from NYC to London will be 2t of CO2 - which probably needs to be around 40% of your annual CO2 budget. That is to say, an inconvenient airport should be an inconvenience very few times per year.

Making other things in your life more conveniently located should be a much higher priority - the things you'll use daily, weekly, or monthly. An airport is something you'll use infrequently - or will have to use infrequently if we're going to be realistic about climate change. Plus, as I noted, 30 miles isn't really that inconvenient compared to current situations in most cities. Even the "close" airport in London is 20+ miles away from most of London. Is there a huge difference between 20 miles and 30 miles? That's less than a 10 minute difference by car. With a high-speed train it could be a lot less. Paris to Lyon on the TGV averages 167 MPH. At that speed, 30 miles is covered in 11 minutes.

I certainly understand the desire for convenience, but airports are something individual people use infrequently (or will have to use infrequently given the reality of climate change). If getting to the airport is annoying, it's probably not an annoyance in your life frequently.
It doesn't do the world any good to lie about the degree to which things help either! We can be realistic about our need to properly dispose of PLA in an industrial composter, and still accept that it's a massive improvement over other plastics
Apart from the great CSS framework, I think you could slowly suggest GHS (GitHub Stars) as a new ISO standard.

Thanks all for your comments. Interesting to know.
Very cool. I'm curious - did you find the results from your mixture of experts model to be (qualitatively) better than with the standard approach?
That is because apple doesn't ask you, it just turns it on. If you don't accept changes to their terms of service (As I haven't) you'd get these notifications fairly regularly.
The suit does not claim that iPhones have a monopoly on the phone market - it claims that Apple has monopolistic control of the app ecosystem within the iPhone market.

You get below the fold before there is any indication this is normal. The article is basically here is this analysis showing Congress has a conflict of interest with tiktok legislation. But it's really a dog bites man story that Congress enriches themselves in office by not addressing their own conflict of interest.

We are going to see lots of PR disguised as journalism from Byte Dance (Yass, Sequoia) and US Tech companies. Moreover, we will see lots US/China propaganda disguised as journalism. My cynical view is Gizmodo is taking this issue and framing it as TikTok specific, to carry someone else's water.
Perhaps a likeness of it was used in a way they didn't approve but, still, their face wasn't stolen from them. This isn't the same logic at all.
> The only human element of an AI song is the prompt and not the output.

I'd argue against that. A lot of "serious" AI art isn't just throw a prompt and you're done. There's additional editing on top of that (of course content aware fill isn't AI because...reasons). And even then, have you seen prompts for really good stuff? Those are def not one shot things, and are a creative process in itself. It's annoying honestly, since I'm rarely ever able to get images that are as good as I've seen.

A. When you incessantly hunt for every boson you can find anywhere, you end up with more of them.
European cities are nicer about having a manicured park but not an actually useful park beyond sitting with a book or a smoke perhaps. LA metro area (and a lot of american style in general) parks are chock full of amenities europeans would be lucky to have. For example look at Pan Pacific Park. Three baseball fields. A soccer field. A rec center. Playgrounds. A couple tennis courts. A public pool. A library branch. A post office. A holocaust museum. Bathrooms. Exercise equipment. Picnic tables and grills. And yes, plenty of grass for sitting with a book or a smoke too.

Then there are also much bigger parks with some hiking trails through more natural/unmanaged areas like griffith park or the sepulveda dam area or the hansen dam area, that also have all of these amenities (save for the holocaust museum) and even more. Sepulveda dam has archery, a rocket launch pad, and a model aircraft field. Hansen dam also has the archery but also a lot of equestrian activity and people keep horses in the area.

To act like the greenspace is not available or unusuable doesn't speak to what is actually there for use today.
I'm not sure I'm following, are you saying that SF feels bigger than Austin because of the surrounding metro area? I guess I'd assume that feeling is from population density (SF being 18.5k/sq mi vs 3k/sq mi in Austin), rather than the metro area. But maybe that's because I'm a new yorker that doesn't have a license, so cities to me are what I can get to on foot, which means the denser they are the more like a real city it feels to me.
Speaking personally, I agree a hundred percent. Putting myself in his shoes, I'd slow crawl over broken glass to see this through, just so I could flip 'em off with a grenade pin around my middle finger. And I do think that muckraking in this case would backfire, unless it was super duper bad.

Something else that just popped into my head. If there's federal criminal charges in the main B investigation - which I think there are now - this makes whatever happened here potential federal territory.But look at the timing: March 9 he dies, March 12 federal charges roll. So that's interesting. I don't want to go full tinfoil hat here - it's really tempting to do that, and the stuff he was testifying about was, on the surface, unrelated to the criminal charges - but the timing is extremely interesting.
So that sounds like “the ocean floor is ripping apart” is a normal and expected phenomenon in that area.

Researchers conduct research, but that can include things outside of the natural sciences like recent history. What are period appropriate clothes for people working on a whaling ship?

Scientist: “a person who is studying or has expert knowledge of one or more of the natural or physical sciences.”

Plenty of scientists have pure educational, administrative, or advisory roles. Handing out grant money for example needs an expert aware of the current research.
The internet has tier 1 network providers that have to obey the law in every country they operate. It is not decentralized at all. Meaning, if I filter your internet at your local provider level you do not have another mean to get to the internet without filtering.

It is possible to block pretty much anything that the country wants to block. It would be impossible to bloack content with a truly decentralized (meaning only peer-to-peer network access) system.

As of today the only thing that comes to close to this is something like Meshstatic. Obviously it is only good for messaging and nothing more at this stage.

Exactly. Paine Field is tiny as a commuter airport, but it's got huge tracks of land (it's more than half the size of SEATAC and has a 9000 ft runway).

Thanks, and totally agree! We play around a lot with the idea of creating an action layer for LLMs that's abstract enough for sampling/inherent stochasticity not to cause too many intermittent failures. I think when that infrastructure's solid, it'll be really easy for integrators to deliver cool functionality (as you said :) )
Groq will soon support function calling. At that point, you would want to describe your data specification and use function calling to do extraction. Tools such as Pydantic and Instructor are good starting points.

I am collecting these approaches and tools here:

> Apple should be another Boeing, a company that exists to embody its regulation

That is pretty funny because you're right, Apple is becoming another Boeing - a profit-above-all-else corporate asshole and just like Boeing what we need is a hell of a lot more regulation, not less: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8oCilY4szc
I never had any Atari computer back in the day, being born slightly after their heyday. But in about 2006 I became aware of the cool demoscene on these old computers and acquired a 1040 STFM and Amiga A500 to experience them properly and to play around with. And even though it was before my time there's just something special to me about the 16-bit era of computing. Computers had a sort of character to them back then.

I'd love to get a Falcon030 or an A1200 or something today but they're far more expensive nowadays than I think they're worth unfortunately, cool as they are. But I still have the STFM and A500 and I've upgraded/modded them as far as possible pretty much, and I do still turn them on from time to time.

I don't need some fear based faith system keeping me in check. Life is hard, difficult, and unfair enough as is without me adding hateful chaos to the mix.

I do find it weird that people need the threat of a punishment in the hereafter to keep their baser instincts in check. I am highly suspicious of anyone who cannot seem to fathom that goodness or morality can be found in something outside of divinity. What may they be hiding under that coat of piety and how many rounds does it hold?
Let's be clear. When we talk 'satellite communication' I mean 'from the middle of the Sahara desert' or 'deep within Siberia' or 'remote location in Australia' etc. Absolutely no chance of regular mobile phone network around. The kind of stuff one could use when otherwise they'd be funked.

And for that I was under the impression that one needs expensive and clunky specialized phones like the Iridium ones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iridium_Communications

Our startup recently started using OKRs and gotta say, I'm not a fan. OKRs were set to be quarterly objects, but things move fast and priorities change. What once was important 2 months ago is now irrelevant.

The other difficult things about OKRs is attempting to assign metrics. Most of the stuff worked at in a startup are new and exploratory. That means there isn't a sense of what a good number for success even looks like. What happens is arbitrary, and thus meaningless, numbers are assigned to OKRs just for the sake of adding metrics.

It seems to me OKRs are over-engineered for the purposes of achieving short-term goals. There's probably a better framework for this.
Sure, but Paris is also one of the most densely populated cities in the world, so Paris proper feels large even though it's only, what, 2 million people or so?
Yea, the news media always seems to use the word “protect” for these laws rather than “restrict” because they are morally aligned with the usual copyright cartel companies (publishers and studios), rather than morally aligned with end users.

They are all fully aligned and share the goal of “strangling AI in the crib” as you eloquently put it. It’s going to happen, too, nationwide, because we always seem to give these Media Landlords outsized political power.
Right, let me sue my kindergarten, I could have been a been a trillionaire now if it weren't for the substandard education they gave me...
In a sense, plain old diff is a structural diff. The grammar is a sequence of lines of characters.

All tree-sitter gives you is a _different_ grammar, so that a structural diff can operate on different trees given the same text as diff.

A parse tree still doesn't know anything about the meaning of a program, which is what you need to know in order to determine that those assignments to x and y are unordered.
I don't see the identical twin / soundalike argument as relevant because we are talking about using an AI with the specific intent of impersonation. This doesn’t ban cover bands or soundalikes.

Even so, I think there are some existing laws around such things, and I think such acts need to pay royalties in some form. I don’t want to go down that rabbit hole, to be honest.

Regardless, no actual Libertarian position was presented in the article. The comment I responded to was making a dig at Libertarians and the State of Kentucky.

Even though I find a lot of Libertarians abrasive and that their ideology is incompatible with actual governance, I still like to analyze how they think. My goal was to provide a perspective on why a Libertarian might be okay with such a law.

What you want are local parks you can walk to, so you can go out for a walk in the park. I don't see much of that in San Francisco, there are some parks but they haven't put local parks in every neighborhood as you would need.

The cities I am used to have parks at most 100 meters away from any home and a pretty large park 200 meters away, then anyone can go out and enjoy the park. San Francisco on the other hand seems to require driving to the park, but there isn't enough parking for everyone to enjoy the park anyway so most people don't have reasonable access, not comparable at all, the parks are giant though but they don't do anything for local neighborhoods. New York is kinda bad at local parks as well, but much better than San Francisco.
