The eZ80 is indeed quite fast, and the 24-bit space is a comfortable size for values as well as addressing - I've been working with it in Forth and haven't felt deeply constrained by that size(occasionally needing the double number operations, but nothing more than that). The graphics spec is a little bit below most 16-bits in terms of color depth, since it's VGA 2-bit per channel, but the screen resolutions also go quite high, so I expect a lot of 640x480x16 or 800x600x4 games.

Meanwhile, the ESP32 acts as an ultimate co-processor through the VDU protocol inherited from the BBC Micro. That's a part of the architecture that I really appreciate, because it positions software design around the serial I/O and how effectively you delegate your tasks to the VDU. Early reactions from people who are used to 8-bit coding were a bit perplexed because they couldn't push a lot of stuff down that pipe, but as the firmware has developed, the ability to define complex, shader-like programs has also built up. Nothing stops you from describing, e.g., a tilemap engine in terms of a program that stores map data, tiles, and sprite assets in VDU buffers, and then launches a program to do all the array processing needed to blit the tiles and display the sprites when given a camera position.

That's cool because it means that your graphics engine is decoupled from the CPU language. The same VDU sequences will work in Basic, assembly, Forth, C, etc.
Supersonic is unusable over land anyway. This aircraft is designed for trans-oceanic routes, like US to Asia or Europe.

Quite hard to build a railway over the ocean.
Thanks, I shrug whenever I read "we"s used liberally here and there.
Congrats on the launch, I wish you all the best! My $0.02 is that the big money market for this category of capability is for adversarial integrations. There are ancient CRM's like RedTail that serve 100K+ financial services professionals that will not integrate with anyone.
Better for who? People locked-in to the Apple ecosystem. Their laptops aren’t qualitatively better because the CPU is fanless, I can’t run Linux on them without the help of someone cracking the problem for me. That’s qualitatively worse. You can name any set of features that are better and I can name reasons the product is worse, because it’s objective to your personal beliefs about hardware usage.

Apple makes the only functional smart watch.

Fossil got fucked over and left. Google did nothing with Fitbit (dead). Samsung as a product excites no one (I own a Samsung phone, I dont want a Samsung watch).
High tech manufacturing at scale is often equally as challenging as development work. Starting with a proven design let's teams focus on leveling up their manufacturing capabilities prior to introducing the double complexity of manufacturing a part that just made it out of CDR.

A bit of a tangent, but this is the genius of Musk's Merlin engine. Simple design utilizing RP9 allows the manufacturing staff to hit their stride before introducing the raptor (methalox).
Thank you!!!!! :)
Nah. Garmin smartwatches work fine with Android phones. Apple could have just done the same, regardless of what Samsung or Google wants. Platform boundaries aren't a legitimate concern in this space.
This entire DOJ thing seems to boil down to "other companies can't make things as good as Apple does, therefore Apple is the bad guy". It's laughable.

Reminds me of the debate at my university when I tried to declare my computer as my "instrument."

"That's not REAL music." I changed schools, eventually changed majors.. but now the place that rejected my computer now has a "music technology" degree.

editing to say that music that wasn't real went on to be a massive genre - hard to put "creativity / art" in a box.
This is going to be a hilarious lawsuit. Reminds me of LOTR and the dragon hoard his gold. It'd be much cheaper for Apple to just comply in a few really simple areas:

* Send high-def photos to other phones

* Allow full access to NFC

* Give same API access that Apple Watch uses to it's competitors

* Reverse course on the malicious compliance for EU, instead implement faithfully in the spirit of the law, and make those changes global

Instead they'll choose suicide; since Apple is unlikely to do any of that, it's time to break Apple up: Desktop Computers, Mobile Phones, Mobile Payments, Wearables, and software applications division (like iMessage and other things).
So interestingly enough, we first tried letting GPT interact with pdb, through just a set of directed prompts, but we found that it kept hallucinating commands, not responding with the correct syntax and really struggling with line numbers. That's why we pivoted to just getting all the relevant data upfront GPT could need and letting GPT synthesize that data into a singular root cause.

I think we're going to explore the local model approach though - you raise some really great points about having more granular control over the state of the model.
You could sell the watch which is useless to you to someone from whom it's useful in exchange for local currency. Next, you could exchange that local currency for an item you do find useful. Problem solved!
Laura de Rooij – Choosing research
Yes, that's basically what I'm saying. Just less bluntly. It's slightly more nuanced than "LLMs cannot reason" because lines of reasoning are often in their dataset and can sometimes be used by the model. It's just that the model can't be relied on to know the correct reasoning to use in a given situation.

I have a hard time believing that Apple is incapable of providing at least a limited API for the Apple Watch. I wouldn’t expect full feature parity when using an Apple Watch with an Android phone, but even some basic functionality like texting and simpler notifications could have helped avoid this legal trouble.
The interesting thing to me is that there is ageism in the title of the article and no one seems to notice. That makes me think that ageism is a deep seeded and very prevalent problem.

The phrase "had to learn or die" has an implicit assumption that Gen X may have trouble adjusting to new technology.
It's certainly niche, but NY-LON sees ~3 million non-connecting passengers a year.

If they can make it quiet enough to be supersonic over land, it's a lot more compelling. But even being supersonic for the atlantic crossing will shave hours off of most EU routes from NY.

I think the bigger problem is the time changes on a lot of routes make EU flights pretty efficient - you don't want the overnight flights to be shorter really (and I wish most were longer).
Nova and Staging Rust Abstractions
Falcon 9's Merlin engine is really just based on a NASA reference design for a simpler low cost rocket engine. Raptor is new tech, but that was long after SpaceX had proven itself and had the capital and talent to invest in building something like that.

It makes total sense to use flight proven engines like this off the shelf at first.
It doesn't have to be a lie to be a poor excuse. The technical limitations could be something along the lines of they couldn't find a way to provide an app that wouldn't allow third parties to bypass apple gatekeeping of apple watches. Technically truthful, but in an antitrust context maybe less of a valid reasoning, but still allows them to redirect the public narrative.

Edit: Sounds like it was about privacy concerns, so probably something like there not being a completely foolproof way of preventing a third party from grabbing health data from the android app.
That's what I was looking at in the very beginning. Here's how it unfolds:
Grammar page (https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-cpp) reference two documents at the very end:

- Hyperlinked C++ BNF Grammar (https://alx71hub.github.io/hcb/)

- EBNF Syntax: C++ (ISO/IEC 14882:1998(E)) https://www.externsoft.ch/download/cpp-iso.html

The second doc has a year in the title, so it's ancient af.
The first one has multiple `C++0x` red marks (whatever that mean, afair that's how C++11 was named before standardization). It mentions `constexpr`, but doesn't know `consteval`, for example. And doesn't even mention any of C++11 attributes, such as [[noreturn]], so despite the "Last updated: 10-Aug-2021", it's likely pre-C++11 and is also ancient af and have no use in a real world.

Who might have thought. /s
I disagree. The world badly needs new players in aviation shaking things up.

One of the top comments:

Kind of surprising that the main reason for the shift in this culture was only mentioned briefly as a side note: government regulation. Marketing fast food to children and developing “brand loyalty” in minors was heavily cracked down on in the early 2000’s to tackle rising child obesity and diabetes rates which forced fast food companies like McDonalds to change their child-centric marketing model since they were legally not allowed to do that anymore. It wasn’t a lightbulb moment for McDonald’s, they would have happily continued doing it had the regulations not stopped them.

Anyway, it seems to be detailing their ongoing "I'm lovin' it" marketing campaign and how/why that started.

What? This reads like you’re working backwards from an assumption, and that assumption is that my comment is out of spite? What is this 2011?

My comment is about Apple not allowing other vendors to even develop products for it’s platform as some sort of argument that the market is in capable of building equivalent products. It has nothing to do with IQ level.
PM from ngrok here. First, awesome project! Love to see new projects and ideas in the space. Fighting phishing (and other abuse) is a constant battle for us.

I'm happy to share ideas and collaborate if you want to reach out. russ at ngrok dot com.

Again, super awesome project and great work!
Actually Sony does have a monopoly on the Playstation market. A monopoly is not in itself illegal. The first question is whether Sony has used that monopoly illegally or defended the monopoly illegally. Second, even if it has, the question is if the harm caused by it is worth even pursuing Sony.

Most likely neither are true for Sony but even if it is, it should be self apparent that distorting the smartphone market, or even the iPhone market, devices which are almost essential parts of modern day living can cause orders of magnitude greater harm than anything Sony could do in the game console market, which is much smaller, much narrower, and far less important.

And all this ignores that the DoJ's filing is about antitrust issues beyond just monopoly issues.
1. If you're flying supersonically, you probably aren't worried about efficiency anyway.

2. If you're flying NYC-London or LAX-Tokyo, the portion you spend over land isn't a big contributor to the overall efficiency.

A myth created because Concord came to market before the American SST. Sonic booms are not the epic thunder crashes of Hollywood fame. The Concorde going by at altitude wouldn't be any louder than a truck engine braking on a nearby highway for a second or two.
Maybe I'm just more accustomed to long flights, but a 12-hour non-stop flight in business class if I'm not really thinking about the cost much just isn't a material inhibitor for me. (And whether there are non-stop flights is a separate issue.) Certainly shaving off 6 hours of flight time wouldn't really affect my calculus much, if at all.
Some would argue that Apple is obligated to provide all the API necessary to let Google implement support for Apple Watch on Android phones because anything short of that would be an abuse of its monopoly position in the "Apple Watch host device" market.

They didn't bring one because one doesn't exist. It's not like they forgot or didn't think they'd need it; Vowles is recovering from YEARS of badly done manufacturing practices and this is just something they haven't had the time to get up to speed yet.
Interesting! I think you’re right in saying that the middleman you’re talking about has to be really good for something like this to actually be useful, especially for people very comfortable with debugging tools + their codebase. If I understand correctly, you’re saying that the most productive tool for you would be one that can present you with more relevant data, in a structured way (Redux, etc). At first, we actually did think of making a nice IDE with all that data, but found out it kind of already exists - https://pytrace.com/, and we found it to be more cumbersome to use than anything! Our belief is that these tools can help, but there’s an irreducible amount of reasoning that needs to happen, which takes time and effort, and we think a tool like this might be able to reduce that by offloading the reasoning to LLMs. I guess what I’m saying is that there’s a cap on how much useful information a tool can give a developer to enable them to reason better, and I’m really interested in seeing if it’s possible to reduce how much reasoning is needed in the first place. Curious to hear what you think - thanks for
the thoughtful comment!
You act like Android doesn't exist. Consumers have chosen the Apple ecosystem and all that entails.
Maybe overnight flights should optionally let you sleep on the ground before/after the flight. Charge extra, you don't have to pay pilots or for fuel, park away from the gate.

You would need power without the engines but you could hook up a generator or a feed from the airport.

> You're more likely to repurpose Ontario or even a military base instead.

Ontario was repurposed, at least expanded greatly in scope. It used to be basically a UPS and FedEx airstrip with very limited passenger flights. But LAX was so overloaded and out of the way (for a lot of the IE and LA county) Ontario's passenger terminals were significantly expanded. Unless your destination is in the LA metro area Ontario (or John Wayne) is way more convenient than LAX.
So, what about pumped storage?
> DAL was forced to be a domestic-only airport from the Wright amendment as DFW was way the hell out in the middle of nowhere in '79, nobody would have bothered going out there if they weren't forced to by federal law. American Airlines wanted an airport, and the federal government gave it to them.

That's more than a little revisionist: following the CAB's demand for a joint international-class airport (Dallas refused to use GSW, and DAL had gotten way too small for the traffic, and its runways too small for international jets), Dallas, Fort Worth, and the existing airlines signed an agreement to phase out cross-state operations at local airports and move them all to DFW. When DFW opened, all the airlines moved their non-local operations there per the agreement.

Except Southwest, who'd been created after the agreement, decided they were not bound by it, and enjoyed a now empty and easily accessible airport. And since Southwest's operations were initially intrastate, they didn't fall under CAB jurisdiction, which was the reason for DFW existing in the first place.

The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 then meant Southwest was able to expand to interstate traffic without being restrictible by a dying CAB.

Wright was passed to protect an airport which CAB had all but forced on the area (though to be fair CAB was paying for airports, which was why they wanted them regrouped). Plus bankrupting DFW would have completely broken DAL and aviation to the region.

Discussion over here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39790505
The argument has nothing to do with what Apple's competitors are doing. The DoJ claim you're responding to applies even if a non Apple smartwatch maker didn't exist. The issue is that the Apple Watch does not work on non iPhone smartphones, so this is an additional burden Apple has added to someone wanting to switch away from the iPhone, that they can't use the Apple Watch they own anymore.
But clearly there are plenty of iPhone users who do care to install their own software. One solid way to tell is that if there weren't then there wouldn't be an iOS homebrew scene. Is your point then is that because you personally don't care that nothing should improve? I just don't see why you would even enter this discussion if you don't care. What compels you to jump to Apple's defense by downplaying real issues and falsely claiming nobody who has an iPhone has them?

From Peter Drucker's "Managing Oneself", a 28-page pamphlet that any productivity person may find interesting:

>There are people, like Churchill, who learn by writing. Some people learn by taking copious notes. Beethoven, for example, left behind an enormous number of sketchbooks, yet he said he never actually looked at them when he composed. Asked why he kept them, he is reported to have replied, “If I don’t write it down immediately, I forget it right away. If I put it into a sketchbook, I never forget it and I never have to look it up again.”
