Yep. That's exactly right.

When a phone call comes in, or I get a notification (text, calendar, app notification etc) - my Apple Watch does a really good job of (quite often) giving me enough info from my wrist that I don't need to pull my phone out of my pocket.

Garmin watches have some of this integration (IIRC you can definitely get texts, I don't remember what else) - but certainly not all of it. I haven't tried smartwatches from other manufacturers.
Does a Garmin watch not do that? I often see people looking at notifications on their non-Apple watch.
It’s funny, because the creationists generally feel the exact same about evolutionists.

Both are faith based responses to questions we cannot answer any other way. Getting caught up in absolutes thinking your interpretation is the gold standard is a sign of an unrefined critical thinking process.

>>If we substitute your children into their lifestyle, would you be ok with that?

Animals are not humans though, so this comparison is completely moot(for me anyway).

>>Humans are still imposing their will on these animals.

That's like saying that I'm imposing my will on my dog by making him live with me. Like....I guess you are correct? That doesn't automatically make it bad - if it does for you, then I guess that's where we disagree.

>> I talked about self determination

I don't believe animals have self determination in the first place, not it in the same way humans do. A cow is neither capable of deciding its own fate, nor is any attempt to give it such agency even remotely reasonable. Again, I expect we will disagree here.

>> but saying humane farming is like saying humane torture

Uhmmm, again, no not really, because keeping an animal on an open moor like in my example wouldn't be called torture by literally anyone other than the most extreme believer in animal rights. After all that's where these animals normally live, the fact that there is a fence there(sometimes there isn't even one, or if there is the animal might literally never come across it), is literally the only difference between "wild" and "farmed" animal here.

But for the sake of the discussion - do you then consider hunting wild animals ethical or humane? Like a bunch of deer living in a forest, and they just get shot one day - is that more or less ethical than killing a sheep that spent its entire life out in the open? What makes that difference?
They effectively are at least from a backstop perspective. The US govt will not let Boeing fail.
This is irrelevant. The primary argument people have against Apple is their platform indirectly impacts how other businesses can operate generally. The smartwatch never took off as a platform, so it exercises no such influence.
You'd learn, wouldn't you? Other marketers were not born with the knowledge either.
Either provide a platform or compete in one. Don't do both.
replying to sms is one: garmins can do this on Android but only recently (venu 2+, venu 3) got limited ability to do so on ios.

I don't think this is a fair assessment of the cause of the issue with redis, or hashicorp, or elasticsearch etc;

This wasn't some nefarious third party taking all the community good will and contributions and creating a private fork to kill the original projects.

Jobs loved excellent user experiences, and, rightly or wrongly, saw walled gardens as an important part of providing them. Sometimes.

The counterexample is the iPod, with its advertising slogan "Rip. Mix. Burn.". The first iPod used Firewire and was Mac-only, every edition since then used entirely industry-standard technology, USB and MP3. The value proposition was, as the slogan illustrates, easily taking your CDs and putting the music on the iPod. That too was in pursuit of an excellent user experience.

Later, Jobs fought the entire music industry for the right to buy digital music, not just rent it. And won.
How does it compare to Nuxt Content? https://content.nuxt.com
Not the parent, but just a few things I’d guess would be Apple Watch specific:

- I’ve had employers that require a confirmation step from an app as a form of 2FA. If my phone isn’t awake, the notification comes to my watch and I can approve my login from my wrist

- If some action requires typing on my watch, I get a prompt on my iPhone to do the typing there instead of on the tiny watch keyboard. The characters I type via the phone appear in real time on the watch as if I were typing directly

- Dismissing and snoozing notifications syncs so I don’t have to dismiss and snooze notifications on multiple devices

- Similarly, if I set an alarm on my phone, the alarm will ring on my phone and, if I’m wearing it, vibrate my watch without further setup. Again, actions I perform to that alarm can all be performed on the watch or phone.

I’d guess these are all tiny, tiny quality of life features, but I’d be very surprised if other non-Apple watches have the ability to implement them.
Interesting! So this doesn’t include the 30% Apple tax in this lawsuit?

Longest-running example is Apple Maps displaying mapping on the lockscreen and having special bespoke turn-by-turn notifications, using a private API to which no other navigation app has access to.

The other big one is Apple muscling itself into the music streaming market by converting Music.app into Apple Music. In a fair world, Apple would have been required to show a pop-up that offered Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer etc. in a random order. You can’t unmake an omelette, so I feel Apple should be forced to pay billions to these competing services as recompense.
This is gold.

It was certainly a surprise that he thought it was a good idea to edit a user's comment as a form of trolling when he's the ceo.

> Interesting, I've had 2 Garmin Smart Watches and never felt like Apple was restricting them.

The two main differences are notifications filtering (choosing which apps can send notifications to the watch) and actioning notifications from the watch.
I'm just glad the person took it seriously and returned the laptop to be done with it.
Since when does “the US” consist exclusively of “the Justice Department” and not, e.g., the FTC (which writes antitrust regulations within existing law) and Congress (which writes laws).
Why? Because a user allowed them to track them when using one app, it doesn't mean should extend automatically that to every app they ever develop.

This is clearly Apple apps being treated differently.
One approach is just to set problems that ChatGPT doesn't answer correctly. I admit that I haven't tried the following with ChatGPT 4 directly, but here's an example of Copilot screwing up:

Prompt: Write a function to swap two bigints >= 0
using only multiplication, division, addition
and subtraction, without using any
temporary storage.

function swapBigInts(a, b) {
if (a === BigInt(0) && b === BigInt(0)) {
return [a, b];
}

a = a * b;
b = a / b;
a = a / b;

return [a, b];
}

The fix for the zero cases is easy for a human to figure out. (E.g. add one to a and b at the beginning then subtract one at the end.)

Videos. Every time I get a video from an iphone user it is trash quality. Other iphone users don't have this problem. It's just me on the android. I cannot seem to get any iphone user to understand linking out from whatever icloud or whatever, so whenever someone sends me a video they took, i basically don't get to see. I'm sure there are more, but this the one that actually makes me mad.

From the iphone side, there has to be something, because my family keeps 2 group chats. One with android users and one without. Someone when using an iphone is annoying when group texting android users.
>not even at the fitness level to really “need” a carbon bike

just want to point out that a high fitness level allows you to get more out of heavy bicycles. Any couch potato prefers carbon.
Oh yeah - the home remodeling ones - I get those occasionally.

Also occasionally solar company calls. These appear to just be really shady lead generating companies, but the solar companies are real (if maybe themselves a little shady).

The important question is who loses if apple loses. A whole host of very affluent and powerful politicians and others in influential positions own Apple stocks. Apple's monopoly helps their portfolios. I am not expecting much by way of any significant outcome from this exercise.
I understood that reference, zombo :)
The calculation for mass zeros out as c is a divisor. You get zero for one of the coefficients of the mass calculation, which winds up making the whole thing zero.

The article doesn't have to comment on not-at-rest mass because the math is clear.

As for interacting with gravity, photons move through spacetime, and general relativity shows that gravity is the curvature of spacetime, and photons move on the shortest geodesic for that spacetime.

You're right that this place is ridiculous. However, as I mentioned in a cousin comment, I don't see the stigma and you haven't done a good job of explaining it.

Is it because the word "pig" implies that the victim hasn't kept Kosher and that the scam is god's punishment for that? Is there a general consensus that people who are "butchered" deserve to be murdered? This stigma was obvious and immediate for you, but I'm not picking it up. I don't wish to perpetuate the stigma, but you haven't shared what it is.
I think he's saying, random mutation wouldn't produce all required components at once. One mutation gives you a bit of a flagella, another gives you bit of a nose, but how does the flagella mutation survive to coexist with the nose mutation that makes it useful.

I suspect the answer is that having flagella without a nose is still better than having no flagella. If so it suggests evolution isn't good at accessing groups of mutations that aren't individually beneficial.
Anecdotal of course. I used to read for hours each day and post from time to time - I haven't even looked at it for months except a couple of days ago where I had to prep for a business meeting where reddit was relevant. I had been feeling for a long time that it was declining and also that my social media usage wasn't really adding anything positive so the API thing was just a convenient excuse to rip off the band-aid.
It's a good list, but I'll be interested to see how it becomes anti-trust actionable and not just "a good list of reasons not to buy an iPhone."

Why is any of this a problem when consumers who find all that too constraining can just use Android?
I wrote this essay about Apple’s anti-consumer practices in 2019:

https://sneak.berlin/20190330/apple-is-not-trying-to-screw-y...

It seems especially relevant given today’s news.
I also always preferred the interpretation of a newline as a separator instead of as a terminator for files because I never liked the final newline causing a new empty line in the editor and as you thought that it was bad design that you can have a somewhat invalid file.

But if you look beyond files, the interpretation as a terminator also makes perfect sense, when you receive text over a serial connection it signals that the line is complete which does not necessarily imply that another line will follow. The same in a file, if the terminating newline is missing, you can deduce that an incomplete write occurred and some data might be missing. If you decide to have a newline as a separator after the last line but to ignore it, then you can not represent an empty last line.

I guess you would need two different characters, one terminator and one separator. You could start a line with \n and end it with \r. The \n separates the line from the one before, then \r terminates the line and marks it as complete. You would get \r\n between lines as on Windows and the last line would only have \r if complete or would otherwise count as incomplete. Then again you could almost get the same thing with \n only, you would just have to change the interpretation, instead of \n giving you a line and no \n giving you not a line, you would have to say that \n gives you a complete line and no \n gives you an incomplete line. With that you could however not have an incomplete empty line.
I don't want to argue about that. My point is just that the size (transistor count) and performance differences were massive at the time, like 2-3x the performance at 1/4th or so of the size.
Maybe it's because my user is "only" 12 years old, but there is definitely a big difference in quality of the discussions and the activity today compared to 2-3 years ago, at least in the communities I hang around mostly (music production, 3D, animation and adjacent creative areas).
Dust is probably the best you can get without interactivity, so it's good for logs.

But ncdu is a fully interactive file browser that lets you navigate through the tree, and crucially it lets you delete things without requiring a full rescan. It's amazing for freeing up disk space by deleting things you don't need anymore, which is probably 95% of the reasons I run `du`.
Sure, a DC full of computers can fully simulate a sucrose molecule at a detailed level of description. You wouldn't need a DC- it could be done on a single machine. The real question is, why would you need to model things at the molecular level of detail if that detail is not necessary to recapitulate the behavior of a cell?

One thng I've learned from over a decade of simulating proteins and nucleic acids is that those methods, while mathematically interesting, don't provide useful data given the amount of resources they require. Instead, reduced models (effectively embeddings) and careful statistical methods are much, much more productive.
Most of it was because of the channels. People buy a phone from their carrier. They don't buy from an OS manufacturer. They don't even buy from a phone manufacturer. They get a plan and it comes with a phone. Carriers only distribute phones from a few proven vendors, and that decision involves a lot of games of golf and karaoke nights on company tabs.

Turns out the phone cartel is the phone company cartel in a trench coat.
None of the above. I'm going with:

5. High IQ and conscientiousness
6. Good work ethic

Vision and values can align, or they can meet in the middle. Either situation works.

In my experience, incompetence and apathy in a co-founder is the death knell.

You want Bertram Gilfoyle, not Russ Hanneman. "Personality" or "Values" are irrelevant in the matter of launching a product.
yes, and if we're in a chat with Bob Android, we will blame Bob for forcing all of us to be in this inferior chat that's green ewww

Sure but there have been numerous exodus moments from Reddit over the last ±5 years. Even today, my feeling is that no one really likes posting on Reddit itself, it's just kind of...there. There aren't any alternatives.

It's a very different situation from say, TikTok vs. Facebook, in which I think TikTok is simply a superior product.
Not saying this to defend Apple, but last week I had that same location tracking pop up for Apples Weather app.
I was very late to the Reddit party and created my first account a year or two ago.

I posted a little bit and then one day had a big red banner on the top telling me that my account was suspended for violating the TOS (my posts were on a puppetry subreddit about puppets and were very "normal" posts... how I could have violated the TOS was beyond me). I immediately appealed and the suspension was lifted (without any explanation as to what caused my account to be suspended in the first place). But even though my account is able to post and do everything a non-suspended account can, there's still that red banner at the top every time I access the website telling me my account was suspended and to check my inbox messages for instructions on how to appeal.

That user experience kind of killed any desire of mine to ever use Reddit again.
This is awesome. If this goes through then I expect Apple to enter a slump similar to MSFT in the coming years. Their primary selling point in the U.S. for mobile is imessage and their integrated suite. If that open market starts to eat into that then thier edge is much narrower and I don't expect it to hold well.
If I suddenly had unlimited resources and attention, I'd really like to provide infrastructure to write trusted functions by running them via a webassembly runtime, with a small injected safe surface for accessing postgres functionality. That'd make it a lot easier to write trusted PLs in a variety of languages. Still probably needs a bit of per-language sugar on top, but a lot less than doing it from scratch.

Edit: Minor grammar fix
Sony (PlayStation store), Microsoft (Xbox store), and Valve (steam) all take 30%. No one can speak on what Nintendo takes due to NDA. Why are they never brought up?
Just so anyone doesn't get the wrong idea, this is about a specific algae-based polymer being developed by UCSD.

> Microplastics can take anywhere from 100 to 1,000 years to break down and, in the meantime, our planet and bodies are becoming more polluted with these materials every day

In general "biodegradable plastics" currently on the market should still be heavily scrutinized. So far it mostly has just meant it gets to the microplastics stage faster than other plastics. Not only does this have negative health consequences for us and fish, but it also makes it much more difficult to ever recycle and re-use these plastics

https://www.biopak.com/au/resources/biodegradable-plastic-pr...

Still, it's exciting to see progress on the possibility of an actually sustainable version of biodegradable plastic. Hopefully it can scale and doesn't lead to other micro pollutants

Even though we understand a lot more about how LLMs work and have cut resource consumption dramatically in the last year we still know hardly anything so it seems quite likely there is a better way to do it.

For one thing dense vectors for language seem kinda insane to me. Change one pixel in a picture and it makes no difference to the meaning. Change one letter in a sentence and you can change the meaning completely so a continuous representation seems fundamentally wrong.

Ok long story, I'll try to keep it short.
New motherboard, Asus w680 ace ipmi. It has an extra ipmi card.
Nvidia-drm.modeset = 1 is required for Wayland to render anything other than 1920×1080.
I have a 4k monitor.
I insert the IPMI card, disable the aspeed gpu on the card via jumper.
The card is still active. But the BCM isn't working, correct cabling and all.
The Aspeed card being active clashes with the Nvidia 4070 card.
I have to disable modeset.
Effectively I can't do Wayland with the IPMI card plugged in.
Bonus fun: I ordered the motherboard via Amazon DE, they imported it from Amazon US, because with import taxes it's over 150€ cheaper than directly from DE.
I contact Asus support (which was hard enough, I can not talk to Asus US support only DE), and waste about a month doing pointless things, going past the instant return period of Amazon.
They tell me to contact ASUS RMA.
I can only get in touch with ASUS DE RMA.
They tell me to talk to Amazon, because I don't have an invoice, Amazon refuses to give me one because it's an imported product.
I contact Amazon 2 times.
Both times some Indian support people promise me the heavens, I have to tell them, "I can't send the motherboard back, I'm using it and about 2400€ worth of components on it, I use the motherboard for work".
They say, no problem we'll send you a replacement in 3 days.
2 months have now passed, no replacement in sight.
