That's the scenario I'm assuming. Lots of people out of work, then they start working on ai and using it to solve the post-work survival problem.

But this relies on a few assumptions. 1) there will be open source AI that can solve low resource survival problems, 2) civilians will be able to run these AIs on whatever computing resources they're able to scrounge together, 3) the solutions the systems come up with will let civilians survive or revolt without access to high levels of capital, 4) the systems will NOT rise to the level of independent power gaining AGIs

Note that I have specifically assumed that we don't have independent AGIs. If we hit AGI, then I don't think we can assume that anyone will be able to use AI to solve the problems of post work survival. The AGI will do what it wants to do. I'm not sure how civilians should position themselves in that situation.
This is like nailing Al Capone for tax evasion. They missed the one actual example of Apple abusing its ownership in one industry (the OS) to then give itself a monopoly over another industry (app stores/app store fees).
Yes, they're nice headphones overall, but not the best for audio fidelity.
- A lot of these changes are like mandating that cars have a manual transmission option. Sure, there are plenty of people that love the control, but there are many, many more that appreciate not having to deal with it.

Please let governments pass legislation which mandate a manual trasmission model. I will never buy an auto!

- Every dollar and engineering hour that Apple spends complying with these new requirements is time they won't spend on things people actually want, as well as increasing the surface area for bugs and security holes.

Except that Apple are literally the richest company in America. They could hire a thousand new programmers in a team to work 24 hours a day on these requirements and it wouldn't even tickle their profits, let alone revenue.

- Apple is the intermediary between other companies like FB, Google, ad networks, data harvesting, government apps, etc. They can't do things on my phone because Apple forbids it. The more Apple is forced to open up, the less protection I have from other powerful players in the tech market.

If apple is forced to open up, it creates a market for more security products, meaning healthier competition and more transparent security.

- Every place where Apple is forced to open up is a place where there's a choice that many users didn't ask for but will have to make (e.g. default browser).

Not really, safari is the only browser which is installed on a iphone by default, so normal users just use it like they did before and dont need to do anything. However other people that do want to use something different are free to.

- I've never had to help a relative with their phone. I've had many of them come to me for help with their computers. Their and my experience with computing platforms is worse without the guardrails

Nobody is suggesting making the iphone harder to use, just allowing additional choices if thats what the user wants. The choices can be hidden away from normal users and grandma, but why cant they be there in the background for people that want them?
"...For the first restriction, it's for people copying or creating similar product or clones using swiftship and selling it as boilerplate or template app..."

I get and agree with the idea of protecting your product/IP from being copied, cloned and resold for the same purpose as you are selling/licensing it, competing with your own offer. In that case, the license should very clearly express and address this concern. Clear licenses incentivize use ;) thanks for making the effort to make it more clear. Everyone profits from transparency.
Why is this even news? It's completely expected.
One of the benefits of using the browser is that the generated PDF will be using vectors/fonts etc whereas Canvas will be mostly an image in the PDF. Not a big deal for the most use cases.
I think it is super easy to justify expense for something like this for anyone doing text-based content marketing through blogs or articles.
Sure it is. Anti-trust law gives the government (assuming they prevail in court) broad authority to require that a specific company take specific, tailored actions that the government believes will make it so the company can't abuse its market position to harm consumers anymore.

There's a long history of this, with Microsoft being a fairly recent, famous example.

I noticed this problem when I switched to Linux.

On Windows, when I copied a file, disk writes started immediately. On older systems, like Win98, I had to tweak Total Commander's disk buffer to improve copy speed on the same drive. Total Commander even had separate settings for same disk vs. different disk copy buffer sizes.

When I switched to Linux I was immediately surprised that disk writes did not start until the memory was full, and then it would stop reading while flushing dirty data. This happens even if the copy is between different drives: reads stop, writes only, then reads again with no writes to the other disk, repeat. It basically halves the copy speed.

It even happens when I copy to network mounts: reads 20 GB of data into memory, then reading stops and tries to flush the data over the nfs. Nfs times out, transfer fails. I had to use nfs timouts of 1h just to be able to do a backup.

It drives me crazy. Is there any way to make it write immediately, or at least to put a memory limit on dirty data?

Technology doesn’t matter here. What matters is whether people feel pressured to buy iMessage capable devices by others. In the US the answer is yes. Elsewhere it’s WhatsApp everywhere (with its own homogenous ecosystem issues which should be regulated).
Despite all the noise claiming the contrary, the market is shitty, and I think it will remain that way for the rest of the year. It's election year and it would look really bad on the incumbent for numbers to be "down", so ghost jobs and layoffs will continue (only way to prop stocks up)

Two notes:

1) I appreciate that it's said to be local first but the fact that it depends on an OpenAI API usage is...kinda a big hole in that? The organization I work in wouldn't really accept this for approval, and from the title I was hoping that this would be a local-first fine tuned (or fine-tunable) LLM.

2) The about page stating that you met at Princeton is a huge bear signal for me. I don't think tools should be adopted based on how much of an elite (cognitive or financial or social or athletic or whatever) their creators are, and given the use of the OpenAI APIs I question why the "top ML conferences" bit is here at all.
This is written from an NL pov, so I understand why they use the word threatening. If it fit in the title here, I would have included the "national security risk" aspect as well.

Anti-trust law has gone through a variety of interpretations over the long history of its existence, and I think your characterization of it is incorrect, even under today's recent interpretations.

This suit seems to follow the interpretation of: "it is bad if consumers are being harmed in some way". Having a monopoly position via market share is not a necessary condition for that to happen.

>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.

No, as the linked thread shows, this is happening everywhere, not just the 4-5 large social media silos. There is another completely separate thread knocking around on HN somewhere about how AI spam is filling up OpenAI's chatbot store, and it's been well documented as a problem with Google image search, Quora, Linkedin and numerous other sites.

It's apparent that you yourself don't notice the problem but that doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist.

If you take the main reasons React is criticized and claim it is a feature, surely you have refute the criticism more thoroughly than "This seems so simple, yet do not underestimate it." or "That is powerful. Do not underestimate this."

Modern frameworks (Svelte / Vue / Astro) are about using the platform. They are performant, efficient, easier to read, easier to write, and easier to understand.

I don't see any reason I would pick React for a greenfield project anymore.

I get that if YOU don't want to use a modern framework and want to stick with what you know, sure, by all means, pick React. But writing even a semi complex application in both React and Svelte should make it immediately obvious that React is antiquated, if you give both frameworks a fair shake.
The best take here. It pays to scroll on HN.

You're missing the point - it's not about comparing Intel to anyone else, but rather about Intel's missed market opportunities. They make processors but missed all the new market opportunities for processors.
That’s a choice though. Pricing power means *no one* sells phones under $400 because the monopolist has the ability to raise overall market prices.
The original comment was about exporting photos, and how "Apple makes it difficult". Which they do not.

Syncing is a different story, let's see how this holds up:

If you want to sync your iPhone's photos to Dropbox, you give Dropbox permission to access the Photos library and it syncs. https://www.multcloud.com/tutorials/sync-iphone-photos-to-dr...

The company hosting that URL offers a product for syncing between various clouds, I haven't used it but it does exist. https://www.multcloud.com/download

I'm fucking sorry but there is no LLM or "AI" platform that is even real intelligence, today, easily demonstrated by the fact that an LLM cannot be used to create a better LLM. Go on, ask ChatGPT to output a novel model that performs better than any other model. Oh, it doesn't work? That's because IT'S NOT INTELLIGENT. And it's DEFINITELY not "superhuman intelligence." Not even close.

Sometimes accurately regurgitating facts is NOT intelligence. God it's so depressing to see commenters on this hell-site listing current-day tech as ANYTHING approaching AGI.

No, we do. State space models are both faster and scale just as well. E.g., RWKV and Mamba.

Err... they are, though. They were just the type of model the right researchers were already using at the time, probably for translating between natural languages.
The author argues that calorie /counting/ does not work. This is true. If you want to lose weight, it's theoretically simple: Eat less, possibly combined with becoming more active. But counting calories is not the best way to achieve this.
Successful caloric restriction means consistently letting yourself get more hungry than you are comfortable with. Typically this requires a shift in mentality: You need to eat because you are hungry and stop eating when you are no longer hungry, as opposed to eating because you are stressed/bored/etc.

I don't think so at all. It is clear that there is a lot of brain power behind their products (e.g. the UI/UX in small mobile devices). The collaboration is excellent and much more powerful that the obvious competitor.

If we talk about Jamboard it is clear that the app cannot go everywhere.
The part about musculoskeletal issues really hits home for me.

Can anyone recommend a book or site to learn to diagnose and fix musculoskeletal issues where possible? For example, I've had one leg longer than the other for most of my life, and it has caused my a lot of back pain. I went to a physical therapist and he figured out pretty quickly that the two major pieces of my pelvis were twisted and not aligned with each other, and he had a simple move I could do to crack it back into place (essentially just squeezing a pillow between my legs). Now it's part of my morning routine, and I'm working on hip flexibility and strength as well.

But I also get other misalignments and I would like to feel empowered to free myself from pain where possible.
They didn’t RE the CUDA API, they reused libraries like cudnn that’s a completely different case than say Oracle vs Google.

What ZULDA did wasn’t to maintain a compatibility with the CUDA API and provided an open implementation of it but rather use all the CUDA based libraries that NVIDIA provided on top of it.

The equivalence again would be that not only Google implemented their own Java compatible API but rather that they used the now Oracle owned JVM to do so and redistributed it.

AMD already implemented CUDA essentially one to one in the form of HIP in ROCm. The issue that they face is that they don't have all the equivalent middleware to make copy pasting code actually work and this was what ZULDA did but instead of building a HIPdnn they just reused NVIDIA binaries.
> Unless there is legislation that forces something, the ship for the app store has sailed.

Simply asserting that doesn't make it true. Even if the app-store related claims in US v. Apple were identical, legally and in alleged facts, to those in Epic v. Apple, the ruling in the latter is not binding precedent for the former because Circuit Court decisions don't bind Districts in other Circuits. And, they aren't identical, anyway.

> Not to mention, several companies have some version of this, including game consoles.

So what? “Other companies do similar things” is not an argument against it being part of an illegal monopolization scheme when others do it. Like browser/OS bundling with Internet Explorer, its not the act in isolation, but its function in context and in conjunction with other business practices that is at issue.

Its not a question of whether an app store fee is on its face illegal, its a question of whwther Apple’s app store fee is part of a broader anticompetitive effort to defend and extend monopoly intthe smartphone and/or performance smartphone markets.
> F-Droid is a (Android-only, not possible to make such an app on iOS) super app that very much exists in the western world.

I’d call that an app marketplace, not a super app.
It isn’t true of monopolists. That’s the whole point of pricing power. You can raise prices higher than they’d be otherwise.

Well, price controls really are bad, actually. But Lina Khan does seem to want to push FTC governance into that realm.
Although Apple now has to allow alternative browsers to ship their engines in the EU, they actually set out ridiculous conditions for browser vendors to be able to do so. Therefore, as of now, none have done it.

This is malicious compliance from Apple to try and make the law ineffective.
It might be preferable.

We have ridiculously fast hardware. In many use cases (client machines in particular) we do not usually really need that. I would gladly drop features for security.

Congratulations on your launch!

I started music DRL (https://github.com/chaosprint/RaveForce) a few years ago. At that time, SOTA was still the "traditional" method of GANSynth.

Later, I mainly turned to Glicol (https://glicol.org) and tried to combine it with RaveForce.

There are many kinds of music generation nowadays, such as Suno AI, but I think the biggest pain point is the lack of controllability. I mean, after generation, if you can't fine-tune the parameters, it's going to be really painful. As for pro, most of the generated results are still unusable. This is why I wanted to try DRL in the first place. Also worth checking

https://forum.ircam.fr/projects/detail/rave-vst/

If this is your direction, I'm wondering if you have compared the methods of generating midi? After all, the generated midi and parameters can be adjusted quickly, it is also in the form of a loop, and it can be lossless.

In addition, I saw that the demo on your official website was edited at 0:41, so how long does it take to generate the loop? Is this best quality or average quality?

Anyway, I hope you succeed.
> The Reynolds paper went unpublished for a while because it was refereed by Maxwell, who then published a paper of his own, which contained a critique of the mathematics in Reynolds's unpublished paper. Maxwell died that year and the Royal Society refused to publish Reynolds's critique of Maxwell's rebuttal to Reynolds's unpublished paper, as it was felt that this would be an inappropriate argument when one of the people involved had already died.

Modern double-blind reviewing processes certainly have advantages.

No. In fact in a few short months post C++11 will have overtaken pre-C++11 as the majority of the 26 year history of standardized C++ (and similar to prior standards, compilers for the fortunate implemented much of the behavior prior to the official publication).
