> , but I can sell, distribute, and install apps outside of it without giving Apple a cut.

I want this personally for me. But I paid extra money to get my mom an iPhone exactly because she won't be able to stuff like this.

I used to regularly have to fix her android phone and the last time she was trying to download an app for tracking hours at work, and somehow downloaded the wrong app with a similar name, this app loaded with 3 different pop ups telling her to install other ad filled apps with generic names like "PDF reader".

OP is right, it should be an explicit jailbreaking process that has a technical barrier to entry where my mom can't be talked into doing it over the phone but an enterprising young person could figure it out.
This is cool. I often don't need a visual interface - give me text
Millennials hold about 9%.

Fun fact: Mark Zuckerberg personally holds over 1% of that 9%.

(That is, he holds ~0.09% of all the wealth of US citizens, and happens to fall into the group of Millennials who as a group have ~9%. This from rough calculations and googling. There's an old reddit post that has about the same numbers. https://www.reddit.com/r/theydidthemath/comments/nbqfvn/requ...)
Huh yeah looks like they just push anything for which “Notification Center” is enabled. Seems like a crude proxy.
The one area I have concerns about is superapps. I’m of the opinion that user experience is better when an app does one thing and does it well. WeChat and Facebook as platforms or just a digital variant of platform lock-ins.
Thought experiment: how would the world respond if Apple decided to go full Atlas Shrugged and just closed their business? Turned off all their servers, closed all the Apple stores, fired everyone, etc.
> How would Apple allow messages from Android that are not SMS?

Quite easily: by releasing a standalone iMessage app on Android. The Beeper folks have shown this of course can be done (even if Apple doesn't like it and blocks them).

Doing this would certainly be orders of magnitude easier than implementing RCS. It's quite telling that Apple still wants to maintain iMessage as iOS-only. And if Apple doesn't work with Google to implement the E2EE extension (assuming Google is reasonable about it), that tells us all we need to know (and should have already known): Apple doesn't actually care about their users and user privacy. They just care about their market position and "prestige", and want to maintain these silly "class divisions".
That may be true now, but it doesn't debunk the point that the hardware that is now so desirable exists solely because of their vertical integration.
We're talking about negative externalities, of which pollution is a perfect example: the effects of pollution are spread across everyone, no matter who emits it, so no one has an individual incentive to change their buying habits. It's a coordination problem, which can be solved democratically by the voters demanding an overall change in incentives (such as an appropriate tax on single-use non-biodegradable plastics).
But `a` is included. You don't have to build a `Link` component. If you want to stylize your links in consistently across your page, you can build your own Link.

The example does nothing other than renaming `href` to `to` and adding a style.

How should the framework know which styles you want to apply to a link?

I think the example explains the component-driven design of the library well.
I don't know. People have been saying quite confidently that "AI" is "going to" "take over" the web since ChatGPT was announced. I live online and my only exposure to AI-generated content (that I recognize, of course, but that's another discussion) has been on purpose - when I look for it, use it myself, or others share what they're doing with it. I guess I'm still waiting for it to take over?

I think what people mean by "the web" is really just the 4-5 large social media sites. Those have been utterly filled with spam/scam/fraud for many years, so I fail to see a difference.
I wonder if this will have a trickle down effect on other app stores, specifically gaming consoles. Would XBox Live or Playstation Store, for example, be on the hot seat if they rejected an application or "game" that was basically a storefront for streaming other games?

> Why don't twitter. com just do the super apps w/ e-commerce

X, the company formerly known as twitter, fairly explicitly plans to, they are just taking time to pivot, in part because they don’t seem to have any real clear roadmap from where they are to where they want to be.
Obviously it's not as bad in my case, but this entire thing has made me empathize a lot more with the victims of Bernie Madoff.

SBF was happy to cook the books to suit his needs, but now he's upset that there are consequences to committing felonies affecting millions of people? He wanted his sentence commuted to five or six years??

Utterly ridiculous. People have gotten worse sentences for dealing a bit of dope with no real victims. SBF stole about 14 grand from me personally, not to mention all the other victims of Gemini Earn [1] and FTX where he seemed to think that a Ponzi scheme was sustainable.

[1] Yes yes I read the Gemini Earn emails too, I know the Gemini is claiming that they're going to give all our money back. I'll believe it when I see it. Until I get my money back I'm going to continue to say that it was an unregistered security that toppled over because of SBF and Genesis' fraud.
It's good! I actually just went through the signup process, and indeed, it took me 2 minutes to install and see the previews on my blog.

That can be turned off and is, in fact, widely recommended to not keep one's workspace between runs.

Yeah, that can be a problem with libraries (as it is with python dependencies). It really afflicts long-running projects. R has taken a cue from the python world there. renv the best way (IMHO) to maintain a reproduceable environment in R (https://rstudio.github.io/renv/articles/renv.html).

New updates to Hex's AI tools for data analysis
I think these are two sides of the same coin, because ultimately developers must pass the extra costs to users. The devs aren't subsidizing the 30%/15% cut, it's a tax that users pay.

App Store rules and the greedy cut also make certain kinds of apps and lower-margin businesses impossible to create in such environment, so this blocks innovations that could have benefited users.

When Apple bans competitors, blocks interoperability, drags their feet on open standards, and gives their own apps special treatment nobody else can have, then users miss out on potentially better or cheaper alternatives. This helps Apple keep users locked in, not innovate when they don't want to, and overcharge for services users can't replace.

All of that was more forgivable when smartphones were just a novelty, and digital goods were just iTunes songs. But now a lot of services have moved online. Mobile phones have become a bigger platform than desktop computers, and for billions of people they are their primary or the only computing device.

This is laughably false.
What no one seems to be able to explain to my satisfaction is why this logic doesn't also apply to game consoles. The "well they sell it at a loss" argument is not persuasive. That's Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft's choice as a business, it's not the government's role to make their loss-leader business model possible.
Cal Newport's book, Digital Minimalism, is on this topic of disconnecting. It's not what I was expecting going into the book, but it was very interesting and something I hadn't really considered before. People today spend little to no times with their own thoughts, and always have some other form of input pushing their mind one way or another, be in a social feed, podcast, book, news, or music. It is very easy to always use those things to fill any void with distractions.
Huh? He's saying that caloric restriction does work, but many people only achieve that by temporarily restricting their food options.

The idea that dieting is a temporary change to your food habits is why most "diets" eventually fail.

Is it Coincidence Apple just allowed EU to install 3rd party apps?

Personally I think Apple should never have allowed EU to infiltrate its devices /Apples software.

I always looked at an iPhone, like an Xbox, or PlayStation; locked down device; you have to use the brands own controllers, own App Store.
There’s no way Microsoft/Sony would allow EU 3rd stores on their devices? I didn’t think Apple would either & that looks to have come back & bitten them!?
There is nothing special about Reddit unless you mean Reddit was in the right place and the right time to establish a two-sided market.

It's very hard to kill a two-sided market when it gets established. Look at Craigslist or Twitter.

An interesting thing about Reddit to me is many people who look at it see strongly offputting things like being overrun by image memes but when you look at it closely there is so much there about so many subjects. From time to time you find those brilliant social media posts that remind me of some of the emails from the Enron Emails data set where people talk about what they did for training in the army. Perhaps that is what keeps people coming back or maybe they are all about the memes.

Returns picked up from your house
Added a new feature to Orderly that allows users to schedule someone to pick up their return from their house.

Orderly already allows users to view all of their online orders and returns in one app (for free), as well as get reminded to make returns. Now we're helping close the operational loop.

My Bose NC700 can only remember 3 devices it seems. My corp-supplied laptop+phone put it over the limit, meaning I have to repair whenever I want to switch to another device, and it forgets one as a result (idk how it works, FIFO?). Pairing often takes a few tries, and it's even glitchier on the corp Android phone.

Earphone quality drops to something awful whenever the mic is in use. That's just cause of the BT standard. This gets more complicated with multiple devices involved.

I'll be listening to music on my work laptop with my headphones, my iPhone will get a call, it'll switch to the iPhone only to play a ringtone in my ears, then when I accept the call the iPhone will switch back to its own earpiece instead of my headphones. Juked!

Then some unpredictable things. Like it gets stuck connected to the wrong device, or it starts playing music when I turn them on, or it won't connect even with a device it should remember. I've had my BT headphones connect during a meeting, make my laptop start playing random music, then disconnect, causing the laptop to switch to full volume speakers and blast music into my meeting.

I don't fault Bose for any of this. These are the most reliable BT headphones I've ever owned. The standard just sucks. The iPhone side has issues like randomly switching to my car BT when I walk by wearing my headphones. The car BT can only pair to 1 device at a time, so my wife or I have to disable BT to free it up. Overall it's not worth vs just plugging in the darn cable.
> How is the pause and resume done?

Perhaps by sending SIGSTOP and SIGCONT, much like hitting Ctrl+Z on the console and later running bg <pid> or fg <pid>.

Note that this is not the same as Ctrl+S & Ctrl+Q on the console – that just pauses the output display not the process (though the process may subsequently pause if a buffer somewhere down the pipeline becomes full due to the terminal output pausing).

Counting calories. Say your weight is stable and you start eating a single extra piece of sandwich bread every day. After a year, you’ll gain 3.8 kg (8.3 lb) of fat. Almost no one counts calories that accurately.

This depends if your metabolism adjusts. It's not like you automatically convert all surplus to fat. For some people , TDEE goes up to account for the surplus, resulting in no weight gain. Counting calories is hard though , but if the scale is going the wrong way, then this means adjust downward.
My one fear for this is the leverage it gives large tech companies.

What's to stop Microsoft, Meta, or Amazon from forcing you to download their own app store to use their apps? We kind of see this on PC already with every company having their own game or app store.

When Chrome is on iOS and is pushed on every Google search, what happens to health of the web? Does that create a new web monopoly?

It's not totally fair that Apple gives themselves special permissions and blocks competitors, or forces the prices they do from devs who would otherwise sell their apps through their website, but is that the lesser of two evils?
This was a plot point in the Cyberpunk lore. The Internet got overrun with AI to the point that they had to build a new Internet in parallel for humans, with mega-companies being the stewards of course. In a way, Pondsmith called this decades ago.

One of the wildest R features I know of comes as a result of lazy argument evaluation combined with the ability to programmatically modify the set of variable bindings. This means that functions can define local variables that are usable by their arguments (i.e. `f(x+1)` can use a value of `x` that is provided from within `f` when evaluating `x+1`). This is used extensively in practice in the dplyr, ggplot, and other tidyverse libraries.

I think software engineers often get turned off by the weird idiosyncrasies of R, but there are surprisingly unique (arguably helpful) language features most people don't notice. Possibly because most of the learning material is data-science focused and so it doesn't emphasize the bonkers language features that R has.
Please don't conflate messaging apps with texting, it's disingenuous. Texting is the feature users expect of any smartphone to be able to send a message to any other user who has a smartphone, regardless of what apps they have installed.
With everything in consideration, I think the real problem are incentives.

When human-created content competes and loses against AI-generated spam, the system is ill-designed.

This is the culmination of algorithms that have rewarded engagement over everything else. Creator platforms look at content made by experts that are high quality and take time to make and effort to consume, and judge it worse than trashy content full of controversial drama pushed every week without research or effort based on arbitrary metrics. Now we've reached the point where the creator is unnecessary and all that matters is engagement.

Creator-less engagement will be the future of the web. A technology that triumphed by connecting people around the world will die connecting you with nobody but an AI that acts as wall and filter between you and the rest of the world.
So IIRC, you need the Apple TV to actually participate in the Fitness+ workouts, this is used to display them and as far as I know this hasn’t changed, but if it has, someone else can chime in and correct me.

The Apple Watch itself has WiFi and optionally LTE. It does like to boost off an iPhone’s Bluetooth and let the iPhone do the heavy lifting, but it isn’t required to connect to the Internet and honestly works better when it does (at the cost of battery life). So yeah, more or less, but you still need the Watch paired to an iPhone (because it is an iPhone accessory at its core), and the data is going to be logged to the Health app, and the relevant data (heart rate, workout time, whatever else gets logged for the workout) can be made available to an ecosystem of independent hardware and services. The weight my scale logs for example gets tracked by the vendor service, the Health app, and my food tracker via the Health app.

Either way, Fitness+ is a premium service, not a feature of the iPhone. That it requires specific hardware doesn’t make it particularly special in this regard either.
I would prefer they just require Apple implement RCS (which they've already agreed to do), and -- crucially -- require feature parity with Android's RCS implementation. Which means standardizing Google's proprietary E2EE extension, and implementing that as well.

While I'd prefer being able to install a standalone Android iMessage app over the current situation, I really don't need or want another chat app.

Basically anyone who profited off SBF giving them cash or a position in the company is liable. The issue is it’s too easy to take this too far and start suing everyone at the company that profited at all. One could make a case that the parents knew, colluded with, and championed his actions. That would be the only avenue in this case.

I think the point is that it's kind not entirely accurate to say that Apple doesn't allow messaging interoperability with Android. They in-fact do through dozens of available third party apps. They don't allow non-apple devices to implement the iMessage protocol, which could be argued to be anti-consumer but it's not really evidence of apple being a monopoly.

Yes, because the millimeter is “mm”, a meter is “m” and “M” means mega (for example MPa for megapascal) in SI.
> So I think the specific answer to your question is "iMessage and its lack of support for <protocol (RCS?)>".

But there are other ways to send images or arbitrary files. Why does iMessage need to support it?
> we do use data sources that plug into the booking systems for the flights, so it's not just a historical thing

Yes, I know exactly where you are getting the data. Your OTA API is a booking system that is intended to provide basic information to travel agents. You'll be presented with an IATA equipment code, or more likely the intermediary providing you the API is expanding it to an airframe or using ADSB data to supplement the field (as I mentioned up thread). The data field exists mostly for wake classification and general seating guidance.

You'll notice despite huge consumer demand none of the major booking sites rolled out an airframe filter. Booking Holdings put it on their metasearch site Kayak.com, but didn't deploy it on their direct sites like Booking.com and Priceline.com.

> I figure presenting info that has a high probability of being correct

The accuracy is inversely related to peoples desire for the information. When the MAX aircraft are grounded for example, you'll have massive fleet shuffles and the booking system does not get updated.

It is like advertising that you have a 100% accurate earthquake predictor (except when an earthquake happens).
Awesome work! One thing I'm curious about in this space is why people generally generate the sound form directly. I always imagined you'd get better results teaching the model to output parameters which you could feed into synths (wavetable/fm/granular/VA), samplers, and effects, alongside MIDI.

You'd imagine you could estimate most music with this with less compute and higher determinism and introspection. Is it because there isn't enough training data for the above?
