I think of them now as special-purpose accelerators, or, perhaps better, analog computers for simulating quantum phenomena.

But that's because of their current limitations - they still need a classical computer to set them up, the same way analog computers were configured to perform a specific job with wires, amplifiers, and function generators (because we didn't have digital computers that could do that for us). What would a function itself represented as a network of qubits to be applied on data qubits even look like?
> With luck, the options for doing so without paying a monthly tithe to dozens of vendors will improve over the next decade!

This is why I've started digging deep into setting up a homelab environment, with the goal to be implementing local source control, automation pipelines, AI inference models, and hosting.

I feel it's important to keep skills fresh rather than paying others to do.

It is important to focus on what you're good at, but it's also important to know what is really going on at the infrastructure layer.

BTW. on premise compute for homelab environments is incredibly cheap right now! (Looking at you 'second hand Dell Optiplex' gear)

As a web developer (and therefore, I imagine, part of the target demographic for this sort of tool), I personally find this component example very useful. Components are very powerful, but most existing Python templating languages make it difficult or overly verbose to use them to their full extent. This is a really good demonstration of how I can write simple presentational components and use them with server-rendered HTMX. That shows off one of the main things I would want to do with this sort of framework.

So from that perspective, this is very much the perfect sort of example.

My understanding is that Apple wont add RCS support until end-to-end encryption is part of the RCS standard, which it currently isn't. And they wont use property add-ons such as what Google use for encryption.

And one of the main reasons why people feel the need to upgrade their device to a "real computer" is when the users hit those artificial boundaries which they are not allowed to bypass.

Which iPad owner ever thinks "oh I wish my iPad were even less capable"? Most people are annoyed by its limitations but they accept it as a trade off. I personally would use my iPad much more if it were as capable & open as a Mac.
The suit is not about user choice between iPhone and Android. The suit is about control 60% of the digital market. Sure, a user can go buy a different phone. But, an App developer can not reasonable not support iPhone given it has 60% of the market and apple requires 30% of all digital transactions on that market.

I agree people should be able to choose different things. But I also agree with the suit, that once someone gets in the position to control the market of 1000s and 1000s of companies, it's not longer just about user choice in phones. It's about the digital goods (apps/subscribtions/IaP) market itself.
I tried this and it just seems to add bondage and discipline that I don't need on top of what is, in practice, an extremely chaotic format.

Example: trying to pick one field out of 20000 large JSON files that represent local property records.

% duckdb -json -c "select apn.apnNumber from read_json('*')"
Invalid Input Error: JSON transform error in file "052136400500", in record/value 1: Could not convert string 'fb1b1e68-89ee-11ea-bc55-0242ad1302303' to INT128

Well, I didn't want that converted. I just want to ignore it. This has been my experience overall. DuckDB is great if there is a logical schema, not as good as jq when the corpus is just data soup.

Performance of software has gotten significantly worse pretty much everywhere. Older computers can't run the things we run today, which is obvious. "Handing more traffic and data" is purely due to the amount of hardware used.

I would also argue that quality has gone down significantly (unless you talk about enterprise apps, where quality was always abysmal) and the cost of making software has also increased, even if we adjust for developer salary. But those are just personal opinions.

understanding quantum phenomena associated with developing a quantum computer is in itself cool enough to justify investment into it, at least at the academic level. People have been making these really cool electronic devices, making 'magic' atoms with protected quantum states.

They'll probably keep it around either indefinitely, or will replace it with a fully account-based scheme where there's nothing stored on the card itself (i.e. no stored-value balance) other than an authentication key for the card number.

That's the model they already use for bank (credit and debit) cards too, so they need the backend to manage a deferred account-based system anyway. That's also what the MTA in New York does: They've never supported stored-value cards, and their new physical OMNY cards are effectively just a weird type of closed-loop EMV payment card.
> Nothing much has changed. In the way you're referencing, the US was extremely divided in the 1960's and is extremely divided again now.

The deep divisions mostly came later in the 60s. The early 60s was the calm before the storm. The Vietnam war was barely on anyone's radar in 1962 - there were only ~9,000 US troops there in '62 and these were being referred to as 'advisors' - the vast majority of Americans didn't even know where Vietnam was or that we had any troops there at that point. Kennedy had not yet been assassinated. The Civil Rights movement was in progress, but again, not on the radar for most Americans yet. Most Americans felt that the Soviet Union was the existential threat - not a lot of division about that at the time.

Silent Spring certainly seems to have had some major impact at the time it came out - by 1970, eight years later, we had the EPA and Earth Day. Again, it's hard to imagine any kind of book or film coming out today that would have a similar impact on the culture at large since we now have a collection of subcultures each with their own preferred media outlets. In '62 you got your news from your local newspaper and the networks (mostly CBS & NBC at that point, with ABC as sort of the upstart) - while newspapers did often have a political slant, broadcasters mostly all had the same political slant (or lack of one) due to the fairness doctrine.

> discussion were high yet still lead to our 2020's society being only marginally more ecologically responsible than the that of 1960's (if that).

I think this has more to do with Reagan and the rise of the right wing in the 80s and into the current era. That led to backsliding on ecological progress that was made in the 60s through the 70s. Jimmy Carter was probably our most ecologically-minded president - he even began to sound the alarm on climate change towards the end of his administration.

I'd wager such choices are highly personal, and different people will weigh things differently. I've seen quotes from people undergoing dangerous and highly experimental treatments stating that they felt happy to help medicine learn, even at significant cost to themselves. The patient in this case said much the same.

Nonetheless, I do generally agree with you. I've seen several articles about how doctors die very differently than most people (they often have DNRs and far fewer end-of-life interventions).

(I'm no Node expert, so this might be flawed, but) presumably, because they hope that you'll use the app more than a few times, and so the one-time overhead of typing `sudo npm install -g` once will outweigh the repeated requirement to use `npx` every time you invoke it. Or, taking a less mechanistic and more usability-focused approach - because the intention is for it to be seen as a fundamental tool, just as accessible as grep or cat or less, rather than "hidden" behind npx.

Figured I'd share this since its comp info you don't normally see. A lot of people made a lot of money today. I got 150,000 options for Reddit very early after it was spun out. With today's price, that's $7.5M, but I didn't get all 4 years of vesting, the pay was below-average, and my money was tied up. During the same decade, the faangs were up 12x on average, but the pay was better, and my money would have been liquid. Reddit might not hold up for 6 months, either.

> Why does iMessage need to support it?

imessage (the protocol) doesn't. iPhones should, because it's a common way for people to communicate. It was fine for us to start laissez faire but now that we see Apple abusing things by not interoperating -- deliberately in order to sell more phones [1], the people should intervene.

Agreed. And that’s something I very much enjoy.

Open-source still has a long-term advantage. Long-term, either AWS goes out of business, “enshittifies” their “enhanced” version, and/or open-sources it themselves. Meanwhile, the open-source version never goes away or gets worse: at worst it will bitrot, but that’s only if nobody is using it enough to put in the bare minimum of maintenance (then when AWS inevitably degrades, there’s a good chance someone makes an open-source rewrite).
Apparently I don't understand how hotel card keys work. I always assumed that keys were manufactured with a random UUID inside them, and then when you checked in, a random card was attached to your room and given to you.

When you try to open a door, it compares your card's ID to the room database to see if the door should open.

Is that... not how it works? Because that seems simpler than anything that involves encryption, or actually writing shit to the card.

The good news is that most variables in R are immutable with copy-on-write semantics. Therefore, most of the time everything here will be side-effect-free and any weird editing of the variable bindings is confined to within the function.
