I personally think APL is wonderful simply because of the original APL specific keyboard [1]

I've looked briefly at R and found the syntax and semantics to be less than stellar. Obviously there's going to be some bias in that sentiment due me not generally doing "array programming", but I don't believe the things that irked me were entirely as a result of that.

The more annoying stuff for R is entirely second hand. As far as I can tell R (or at least R studio) maintains implicit state between runs which means you can get to a position where the same code works on some runs, and then not on later runs. My friend was having to do a lot of bioinformatics processing (many of the libraries for this are in R) and was constantly fighting to have code she wrote to process the data or produce charts (publications in bioinformatics have an acceptance bias for "looks like it came from R" that is similar to what CS [used to?] have for gnu plot). But you could run the same scripts on the same input and have it fail where previously it worked. This is before you deal with inter-version compatibility problems which also seemed frequent.

What was irksome to me looking at a lot of the stuff that were doing is that it was fundamentally mostly basic scripting stuff you could do in other languages trivially (and more cleanly imo) but there were a bunch of functions (builtin or from libraries?) that did the work, but those functions weren't in R, so the claims that R was "necessary" seemed fairly bogus to me.

The strange thing about the word 'tarmac' is that it is now associated with airports, as an area where planes are parked or are loaded, and most modern 'tarmacs' at airports are actually concrete.
Individually, yes. But each app has its own app store approoval process and fees. Also they are jailed privately so they cannot share information with each other. Only Apple Apps are the ones that can do that.

Amazing that reddit hits $54 from a ipo of 34$ and all I see on HN is negativity … about how it doesn't make money … about how it has a bad user experience … about how it doesn’t credit the mods … about how it hurt the third party developers.

Yada yada yada. Look if anything you should learn from this, its this. User experience doesn't have to be terrific. API after a good growth trajectory is less advantageous. There are no competitions for moderators because moderators are a dime a dozen. And you don’t have to make money if you’re growing or are a game changer (wallstreetbets).

You just have to be here for the long run. The run when digg failed. The run when twitter went all the way into the hole. The run when facebook becomes friendster. The run when instagram becomes exhausting. The run when threads starts losing interest. The run when google stops giving good results so you keep going to reddit. The run when Microsoft office has bad help articles and so you must ask reddit. The run when stack exchange becomes a cesspool of tired experts but they find Reddit more enjoyable. The run when all of the memes words like AmA and OP and poopstick are not just geek words but real life issues that pervade every platform… like HN.

The long run.

> The government even has the right to ask for a breakup…

I really dislike statements like this. They could ask even without the “right to ask.”

Having the “right to ask” doesn’t guarantee the request will be honored.

How does this “right to ask for a breakup” actually affect the story?
Let’s pretend there’s a world where Apple can’t ban android from getting installed on an iPhone.

Is Apple going to quit making iPhones then?

Their financial incentive is that they’re effectively the default OS on these devices. How many people are installing Linux or ChromeOS on a laptop that was preinstalled with windows?

What this does mean though is that if Apple makes the consumer experience worse, switching OSes doesn’t mean buying a new phone. It means reinstalling with a third party OS.
I saw similar tools as browser extensions, but I think it's quite smart to package this for the website owners to buy & install. This way, it's more clear how to monetise and sustain this. Have you considered packaging this as a browser extension?
yeah, but the one blocking its sun-setting is apple with their artificial barriers.
if apple didn't do it's shenanigans, RCS or something similar with a different name would've have replaced MMS by now.
Basically I am looking to render pdf of architectural drawings onto webgl (because 2d context is too slow), and maintain the vector information in the drawings (ie lines, arcs). I know webgl is eventually raster, but I want to pan/zoom while retaining the crispness of vector lines.
That is to say, they communicate directly with each other and not through the iPhone?
> If I’m raising sheep on my farm it isn’t my duty to provide my land to my neighbor to also raise sheep.

This is the wrong analogy. If you want to use the feudalism analogy (which I always find appropriate for antitrust discussions), Apple is the Ducal landlord and also owns several farms that compete with their tenants.

Now, in medieval England, you would be right that the landlord has every right to do this. In the modern United States of America, antitrust laws are specifically written to avoid this arrangement. That there is another farm is irrelevant - we have laws to keep the power of landlords in check as a matter of governing philosophy.

For the last 50 years, a pro-consolidation school of thought has formed that specifically precludes enforcement of the laws, but the laws are still on the books that specifically aim to prevent an incestuous relationship between producers and distributors. In Apple's case, they have bundled the App Store and OS in a way that allows them to make the rules of the market and precludes a reasonable degree of competition in a major sector of the economy - it's an obvious target for competent law enforcement to take this type of action.
Apple, Google to Be Hit by First Probes Under EU Digital Law
Have you actually seen the results of things made with evolutionary algorithms? They ALWAYS produce "what the fuck, how could this be good" outcomes. From antenna that look like scifi props, to a computational system that somehow requires a supposedly unconnected transistor to be activated, evolutionary systems always find their way to a goal in an unimaginable fashion, because "random" mutations are basically the direct opposite of engineering something, so why does everyone always expect the outcome to look engineered?

Evolution producing a complicated, half non-working, incomprehensible, "everything interacts with everything else in a chaotic and unpredictable to us way", is the EXPECTED outcome.

It's similar to how many big programming projects become spaghetti messes of half integrations and barely functional parts hooked together half-hazardly where every feature relies on a bit of code nobody understands. It's an "iterate on the stuff that works" process, except the machinery inside a cell is way more effective and tolerant of such a regime than our stupidly strict programming languages and computers.
According to their page https://jan.ai/team/ they aim to bootstrap.

No, evolution is not faith based. If you want something faith based, which creationism purports to resolve, it would be if someone has a strong belief on how abiogenesis actually happened, since that is something that is still not well understood. But, we see evolution happening all around us, all the time.

I don't accept that this is OSI's fault thought: It takes two to tango. The OSI has been thinking about a more appropriate format to address the issues of copyleft in the cloud world. I recognize that the problem exists, I wrote about it here: https://opensource.net/lost-decade-crucial-lessons-for-ai/

Frankly speaking, I would love to see also a detailed criticism of the AGPLv3. I would love to have a better understanding of why the SSPL was deemed necessary and what needs the AGPLv3 fails to satisfy... So far, the only explanations I've heard are superficial at best.

You have to also realize that most of these companies are not interested in copyleft or in the values of Open Source to empower users. They're following a very well known path, one that Phipps calls the rights ratchet model. Call it the SugarCRM model, if you prefer: it's a very very predictable pattern, from Open Source to proprietary in about 10 years https://meshedinsights.com/2021/02/02/rights-ratchet/

These are complex matters though and I'm convinced that they cannot be eviscerated properly on a social media, or only on an online forum. We need better ways.

Reddit Jumps Up to 67% After $748M IPO Priced at Top
Is it not fair to shorten "The United States of America Government" to simply America? When you see headlines like "America bombs X" do you think "America isn't bombing X, it's a collection of politicians pandering in desperation for voter attention"? Because the U.S. DOJ is suing Apple.
That is the right way to think about it.

If your walled garden (App Store) is really better, people will stay in it voluntarily.
No, it is because the probability of arriving to a correct answer increases when there are more members in the group, but only when the individual probability to arrive to a correct conclusion is higher than 50%. Group of smart people is smarter than an individual. The opposite is true too. If the individual probability is less than 50% then the group of people is dumber than the individual.
Apple is such boring stagnant soulless void, I don't know why people wouldn't want it chopped up just to see the component parts trying to innovate again.

What have they done in the last few years? Minor incremental updates to existing products, release another screen-strapped-to-face product years late to the party while also failing to figure out what to do in the software space to justify the device, and started issuing credit cards because they needed to branch out from just getting a cut of all sales that happen on-platform.
> The main question I want addressed is: If SMS messages can be directly shown in iMessage, and are not secure, then the argument of not allowing "insecure" 3rd-parties to integrate with iMessage goes out the window. All I want is Android messages to be shown in iMessage. Sure we can make them green, but at least they will be sent over the data network and not SMS.

There’s the Messages app and the iMessage protocol — two different things. How would Apple allow messages from Android that are not SMS? That’s by adding RCS support, which is coming later this year. It still won’t have end to end encryption (like the iMessage protocol does) because Apple isn’t going to support (as of now) the proprietary and closed extensions Google has developed for RCS. Any Android message that comes over the data network will have to have some sort of encryption. Otherwise SMS is just fine, as it is today.
What's the tl;dr? :)
What I want to know is how there’s any legal basis to compel any business to implement and service specific, arbitrary software features. It would be one thing if there were a law that mandated a class of messaging apps interoperate on a certain standard if they use certain regulated communication networks. But “Apple messages must implement interoperability with Android messages” feels very hamfisted as an expression of that, and doesn’t strike me as legally defensible.

When friends with iPhones send me images or videos using iMessage, they are very low-quality compared to what iPhone users receive. But when Android users send me the same, they are higher quality.

So I think the specific answer to your question is "iMessage and its lack of support for <protocol (RCS?)>".

So, your argument is "you used ChatGPT for this". They didn't even write the comment with GPT, they just used it as a starting point for some napkin math. The other commenter not only dismissed the idea, but also emphasized how unrealistic and poorly planned it is by responding to the contents of the content, including how absurd it would be to implement that much solar coverage.

Of course there are old people falling for scams — dementia is a lot more prevalent and they tend to have retirement accounts — but younger people are vulnerable too.

Pig butchering often has a crypto component, a scam that appeals much more to younger people. I googled for demographics on this and came up with this:

To reverse your statistic, Apple has 60% of mobile market share in US and Canada, meaning the whole of North America.

On top of that, 87% of the teen mobile market in the US own an iPhone.

Apple definitely has a dominant position in the western smartphone market.
Adding to that, with all of the various third parties, and co-mingling of inventory on Amazon, I don't feel like the odds are good that I'm not getting a counterfeit item. No way would I trust a food/vitamin or anything that touches food from Amazon.

Evolution wasn't evolving towards the specific point we are at now. It was just doing its own thing all the time, with no plans for the future.

So, a better (but still not great) question, would be, if a monkey bangs on keys forever would they ever produce any kind of story at all?

But, that's still not good enough, because evolution is iterative, and would pick out very short stories that worked a bit, and that page kept getting duplicated out to new monkeys who would start typing from the end of that story
This is the approach that people I trust recommend. Some go further: not only should you not take sensitive data across borders physically, you shouldn't rely on your devices (or undeveloped film, for that matter) not getting wiped at the airport.
> that path curvature of worldlines is in spacetime

It's the path curvature of worldlines in spacetime.

> the field of gravity

Only if the spacetime is curved. But worldlines can have path curvature even in flat spacetime.

> If you chose your worldline along the electromagnetic field instead, you'd see no "proper" acceleration when being pulled by the electromagnetic field and you would see "proper" acceleration due to gravity.

There is no such thing as "worldline along the electromagnetic field" as you appear to be using the term. A charged object in an electromagnetic field will have nonzero proper acceleration, as measured by an accelerometer. That's an invariant prediction; there is no alternate model in which it's any different.

> to develop internal stresses, there needs to be some difference in the forces acting upon different parts of the body

No, there doesn't. There just needs to be a difference in the shape and size of the body, from its state when under no external forces.

It is true that, if the body is large enough, the distribution of internal stresses in the body might not be uniform when the body reaches its equilibrium state under some externally applied force. For example, if the object is tall enough, the internal pressure at the top will be measurably less than the internal pressure at the bottom. But this is not due to any difference in external force being applied to the object. It's due to how the object adjusts itself to be in equilibrium under the applied external force.

> If you instead chose being stationary on the ground, which would correspond to when you are in electromagnetic free fall, you would register an acceleration when in gravitational free fall.

Again, this is just wrong. There is neither a valid theoretical model, nor any experimental data, to support this claim.

I don’t know about the legal situation here but I welcome every effort to slow down these super mega corporations. They kill a lot of innovation with their market power. I think we would be way better off if we had many smaller companies. When was the last time something truly innovative came from Apple, Google or MS? They either buy a little innovation or suppress it.
this is for systems that don't have an aux input.
The way Apple purposefully aims to ostracize young people who don't own/can't afford an iPhone by defaulting to a proprietary, non-interoperable messaging system has been enough to turn me entirely against the company.
Lack of iMessage support on Android.
I wonder what would be Apple's reaction to this case. They've been publicly provoking EU since none of the available options can be an existential threat to Apple thanks to its jurisdiction. Even kicking them off the EU market would be very hard and politically infeasible actions.

But the US is different. They actually have the power to do whatever they want, from small fines to breaking up. It's much more of existential threat to Apple and they probably don't want to piss off those prosecutors and politicians too much?
You can bypass the Steam fee as the publisher. Steam's rule is that you can't sell a Steam key for your game somewhere else consistently cheaper than it's sold on Steam. You're free to go wild with pricing, so long as it's on a completely separate distribution platform.

Sorry this isn't a helpful answer but over in Android-land, Syncthing does exactly this for me right now. I paired Syncthing with a script that pushes any new photos to a self-hosted gallery.

Before either iOS or Android existed, you could get phones running Windows CE from carriers. Why didn't that stick around? Especially since those primitive smartphones gave carriers a lot more control over their app stores.
The colors indicate the features available. Even with RCS, there will be a significant list of features available to iMessage users that are not available over RCS. No matter what Apple does there must be some mechanism to visually indicate that standard iMessage features are no longer available. What would be the alternative, pretending that these features exist and then failing silently when one client doesn't support them?

The green/blue bubble thing is irrelevant. It reflects a fundamental reality of the platform technology.

congrats on launching! i think my continuing struggle with looking at Ragas as a company/library rather than a very successful mental model is that the core of it is like 8 metrics (https://github.com/explodinggradients/ragas/tree/main/src/ra...) that are each 1-200 LOC. i can inline that easily in my app and retain full control, or model that in langchain or haystack or whatever.

why is Ragas a library and a company, rather than an overall "standard" or philosophy (eg like Heroku's 12 Factor Apps) that could maybe be more universally adopted without using the library?
