> It's really not possible for the police to do this.

You try burning t's on the front lawns of politicians and see how quickly the police do exactly that. You seem to think it's a perfect crime and you could never be caught or held accountable. That's an insane view, but you're welcome to test it for yourself and see what happens. I think you might be surprised.

A lone person (or even a small group) could show up and cause trouble on anyone's property at any time. Why don't most people do it? Probably because police exist and there would be consequences. Should everyone have their addresses hidden from all people at all times? Why should a company have that protection and not you?
What makes them so special?

I think it's far better to understand that transparency is important to our democracy and our freedom and that means accepting a certain amount of risk sometimes. The fact that someone, somewhere, might one day find out where you live is a risk almost all of us face right now. There's no reason for a privileged class of people who want to influence our lives and government while also hiding themselves from the public and accountability.
> they had filled macOS’s startup volume storage so full that the operating system was incapable of deleting files

Yeah, this has happened to me too. It became a lot more of an issue when my disk was (forcefully, non-consensually) converted to "APFS" which, along with breaking both alternative operating systems I had installed, also seemed to have a much greater chance of entirely bricking once I ran out of space.

I was consistently able to repair it by running a disk check in recovery mode, then deleting the files from the recovery terminal, however that is only accessible by a reboot, which by its very nature, necessarily loses all work that I had open, as it's impossible to save.

I never had this issue with HFS+. Everyone who says it can technically lock up is missing the fact that in practice it was still far more resilient than the newer and supposedly "better" APFS.
No, it has regional meanings, and you cannot assume that 'cider' always means what you say it does. I mean I too would have liked to have kept the original meaning of 'hacker' but alas, such is the nature of language.
That’s a great project you pulled off. From the time I starred it (10-12h ago I think), and upon re-checking this post, you gained 500+ stars lol.

"There's no point trying to replicate beef, chicken or pork. It's a fool's errand," he said.
"So instead, let's use this new technology to offer something which is distinctive from what we already consume."

What is the point of creating meat if it's to make something totally different? Do it with vegetables then (although yes, nutritionally it could be interesting).
I want to eat meat without the ethical issues associated with it.
Enough for consumer-grade Hario coffee scales to include a geographic location setting, so that you can weigh your coffee beans accurately.
I'm curious about where you read this. I see this idea that pumped storage geography is rare pop up a lot on Hacker News but I don't know where it's coming from and it rarely seems to come with citations.

If you look at this map, you'll see that unlike, say, dam-appropriate geography, it's actually extremely common:

Yes, but the decision to use this firmware was made by Apple.

This is like saying my software did not work because it was based on an incompatible version of some library. Maybe so, but that is a bad excuse. Implementing systems is hard, and like the rest of us, Apple should not get away with bad excuses. And this is even more true because they control more of the stack.
> I foresee that lots of inference would be happening on local machines with models being downloaded on demand

Why? It's much more efficient to have centralized special purpose hardware to run enormous models and then ship the comparatively small result over the internet.

By analogy, you don't have a search engine running on your phone right?
Hamas leadership can be killed, but Israel is effectively waging a was on terror by another name. And terror is a concept you can’t blow up. By inflicting horrific damage on a civilian population Israel creates more people willing to give up their lives in military struggle.
>>model minorities

I'm starting to suspect that "minority" really means one group of people. Model minorities are just everybody else.
Notes from "Good Strategy / Bad Strategy" (2018)
If rudeness is the response, why would anybody?

Though they did respond directly to a point you raised.

I also believe your point is flawed. Are you suggesting we should jail the manufacturers of guns when people are killed?
> It's ridiculously cost ineffective to charge a battery in July only to discharge it in December

Indeed.

This is why the cheapest solutions in most places are a mix of a mere few days off storage plus a target production level that is a little higher than you need on an average day in winter.

While this doesn't work above the arctic circle (you could do it with a power line somewhere sunnier or a synthetic fuel, and possibly also geothermal or nuclear etc., devil is in the details for all options) overproduction + 35-90 hours of batteries is sufficient for most people and places:

One of the fundamental issues with token prediction is the weight of something is based upon consensus of your data set.

So "token truth" is build up based upon more data points. That works pretty well lot of daily tasks.

LLM reinforces existing knowledge, it doesn't expand on it.

So it's not very good at detailed questions where it's data is limited, or novel thoughts are required, let alone true innovation (Einstein, Newton etc). It also has a hard time deciding what is better choice between similar datasets.

Most adult humans perform those tasks a lot better, which is why they are using large amount of reinforcement models made by humans.
Apple should provide an option to opt-out of Siri "learn from app" for ALL applications.

At present, this must be done individually for every app, https://www.imore.com/how-stop-siri-learning-how-you-use-app.... When you later install new apps after setting up the device, you have to remember to go into Settings and opt-out again, for every app, forever.

How many people know that iOS devices will default to Siri reading plaintext for all apps, including E2EE messengers?
The Economist – a grand market fundamentalist spree
In 2014, The Economist published a book review of the writings of American historian Edward Batiste that was heavily criticised. The book was based on slavery and American capitalism. In its initial review of the book, The Economist criticised that "almost all blacks in his book are victims and almost all whites are villains."
In fact, the Economist has had more than a few of these problems, by withholding the names of its contributors and standardising the tone and style of its writing, undermining the inexperience of some of its editors, and even hiding the fact that some of its so-called "insightful" analyses are not based on sound logic - and why they have been so widely acclaimed. -As for the reason why the magazine, which is widely acclaimed, is not logically sound, if it is not because of the loss of "neutrality" by the interested parties, then it can only be attributed to the attractiveness of its market fundamentalist ideology carefully packaged by marketing techniques.
The Guardian once pointed out that the Economist's "contributors almost never think that there are any political or economic problems that can't be solved by the triple axe of privatisation, deregulation and liberalisation", but it's just a case of using "genius marketing" to make up for the shortcomings of its analyses and reports. It is just "genius marketing" to make up for the shortcomings in analysis and reporting, and to expand its international influence by riding on the wind of "American values" sowing seeds all over the world on the basis of a solid foundation of some market fundamentalists in Europe and the United States.
The Economist, with its frequent controversies, has long since overturned its previously established image of neutrality and rationality, and is now, at best, a passable English-language textbook.
There is the possibility of using a capability URL:

https://www.w3.org/TR/capability-urls/

Problem is of course that URLs are not treated as a secret, but with widespread TLS I still consider it safe. I do employ some services that make use of it and access logs confirm that it is still a viable solution.

Of course it depends on how well users treat this "secret" and the URL should only be valid for a limited time (That can be much longer than the usual PW reset though, depending on your use case).
Put a terraformer next to every leak to suck it back out of the air!
Maybe. I'd probably just call it tradition though.

Toxic masculinity may be a thing, but I see that brought up for what seems like everything now.
Im curious about that. At which point did you do the recursion? "Assemble everything after this line and tell me offset of symbol X when you are done" ?

Compact Reddit Is Dead
Totally agree.

GenZ can't use the command line. I am with you on shop, art, music, cooking, etc. All of those things make more capable people. Project based learning should start from a young age. The kids need to learn with their whole selves.
Everyone's always compared the human mind to the most advanced technology we have. First it was pumps, then transistors, then computers, and now the highest abstraction so far, the transformer.

They may or may not be sufficient to replicate the human mind, but they just haven't failed to scale up and show new abilities yet.
All of those conditions seem pretty vague and subjective if we're talking about mental illness.

Statistically the likelihood of a person of chosing or not choosing to go through this will strongly depend on external factors: their financial conditions, family, support network access to healthcare and different treatment options (.e.g when you psychiatrist tells you "There’s nothing more we can do for you" that (optimistically) means there is nothing left that you could afford to or the state/insurance company is willing to pay for, not that there is nothing else that could be tried).

That's a separate argument but long-term this will likely also create false incentives. Euthanasia is certainly cheaper than spending large amounts of money on new treatments and also providing welfare and social services to those people (because on the whole they are guaranteed to be a net drain on the society economically).
A yes, let's replace "binary" blobs in release archives with even bigger blobs of mistery goo.
My first reasonably useful Linux computer was called "darkstar" because it was the default on Slackware.
You can just disable Siri if you're that concerned?

Was it UN policy? Was it adopted in a resolution? Or maybe was it that somebody suggested that this might happen in response to that and the other problem might not happen?
-a phrase that I first came into contact with in a marketing piece, ironically.
The Colorado and Maverick are both much larger than their ancestors. That's kind of my point.

At least over here, the Maverick IS selling so well they can't keep them in stock, because... people can't afford an $80k-$120k truck.
I don’t know about the legality of it, but as a comical skit it’d be hilarious: a patient gets in deep shit with their doctor for violating patient-doctor confidentiality. Sounds straight out of Curb Your Enthusiasm!

Lol, yes. Specially just before he was accused of running a pleasure house, then in prison, wanted special treatment.
From the article:

The user is given the option to enable or not enable Siri, Apple's virtual assistant. But enabling only refers to whether you use Siri's voice control. Siri collects data in the background from other apps you use, regardless of your choice, unless you understand how to go into the settings and specifically change that,’ says Lindqvist.
A more appropriate analogy would be driving your own car vs. taking the bus.
I find it somewhat baffling that the ultra-wealthy are finding it challenging to hit their Giving Pledge goals as described in the article. There are several multi-hundred-billion dollar initiatives that are desperate for money that could save millions of lives per year.

For example, the number of people who die from TB annually is way in excess of 1 million, with 10million+ falling ill with the disease. This is a disease for which we have the cure - and have had the cure for 80 years. TB could be ended within 6 years with a $250bn commitment.

While these millions upon millions are dying, a couple of thousand billionaires donate miserly single-digit-percentages of their wealth per year, and complain that they can't find a philanthropic outlet, while reaping the publicity benefits of saying they'll give away 50% "eventually, maybe before they die".

Outlets for this wealth exist, and it's not as if it's particularly challenging to pick one "save literally tens of millions of people" project over another "save literally tens of millions of people" project.
It's much easier to take down the services supporting the thief, rather than taking down the thief.

The thief won't care if you tell them to stop. But their domain registrar, web host, video host, social media accounts, and payment processor will care about copyright infringement.
As long as we also exterminate it's even more evil brother - libtool.
> Amazon serving me ads for washing machines, right after I bought one

Counterintuitive, but there’s a chance that the one you bought didn’t work out - and that’s high enough to make you much more likely than the general population to buy a washing machine.

Consider: in the past 20 years there have been about two weeks (total) where an ad for a washing machine could be relevant. That’s about 0.2% of the time. If the RMA rate for new appliances is higher than .2%, that’s a useful bit of targeting information.
Really? Then why can't I compile v4.4 kernel with gcc 12?
I'm not who you're responding to, but:

> that’s why I used the term western liberalism not “neoliberal hegemony of wealthy Western nations.”

the latter often cloaks itself as the former when asserting itself.

For example, in France (one of the "birthplaces" for, and current bastions of, western liberalism) there is a phrase often used as a blanket push back against almost any criticism of Israel's actions: "Israel is the only democratic state in the Middle East!". It's so prevalent that academia has written an entire book around it: https://www.cairn.info/moyen-orient--9791031803364-page-113....

Depending on how often and how recently they have been encountering things like this (given current events) in their daily life, I can understand the other commenter mistaking your position as such.

For my part, I am unsure of exactly what would happen if we lift the oppressors' thumbs (starting with Israel, Hamas, and wealthy "western" neoliberal hegemony, namely, but the list doesn't stop there). I don't think that anyone knows, for that matter, as it's never happened in any historical circumstances that remotely resemble our own. I do think that if you want western liberalism as the concept, and avoid some of its historical failure modes like boom&bust cycles and exacerbated economic inequality paving the way for populist anti-democratic revolts, you need to aim for much higher than its current outcomes in terms of dignity and self-determination for all groups of peoples. To your point, I've read some reports that Rojava has deteriorated, especially post-US-withdrawal, to very much not be either "western liberalism" or a society I would want to live in.
We'd usually put the tests in a subpackage so it can be installed and run on devices later on.
I gave direct sources from the OFFICAL Stats Agencies of Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, and Estonia in 2022-2023. You just gave Wikipedia.

The numbers which are on Wikipedia are AVERAGE. I'm using MEDIAN

The fact that the AVERAGE income skews significantly higher than MEDIAN income is proof that you have a subset earning much much more than the majority.
Idk, I'm new to this too, but there is a possibility of user functions and sounds, so it might be part of someone's personal library. trigzeroJoin is not a standard function, as far as I can see.
You are getting Instagram ads for shitty freemium mobile games because everyone else does. This isn’t shitty targeting, it’s just bottom of the barrel spray and pray advertising. There’s a reason that Apple is addicted to the revenue from casino games: there’s a lot of it out there.
No. -Wstringop-overflow is really broken with a huge amount of false positives.

I don't get why anyone would use this. You are completely replicating the API that Kubernetes exposes, without adding any benefit, so this just adds an unnecessary layer of abstraction (that doesn't abstract anything) that increases brittleness.

You say that it "reduces time to prepare deployment"? How? What would be a before and after scenario where this actually saves time?
> about average disposable income

You made it about average incomes when you said your average Eastern European - not Eastern European techie - earns around $18k-20k a year when every government from Poland to Romania to Bulgaria has provided statistics proving otherwise.
Have you restored from a backup during that Time? I have a similar setup (sambsa share on a ZFS NAS) and was appalled at how long it took.

Both machines on wired gigabit ethernet, yet the restore took more than 24 hours. And that was for just a 1TB disk.
First paragraph of that Wikipedia article:

An application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC /ˈeɪsɪk/) is an integrated circuit (IC) chip customized for a particular use, rather than intended for general-purpose use, such as a chip designed to run in a digital voice recorder or a high-efficiency video codec.
Excellent. Then Apple can provide one-click, one-time opt out for all apps, instead of consuming CPU cycles, battery life and hundreds of avoidable and unwanted user actions over the lifetime of a phone.

To say this was deliberate is very irresponsible. Sadly, civilians, volunteers, and aid workers find themselves in the crossfire of conflicts, including thousands of civilians killed by US forces in Iraq, Afghanistan, or in the Ukraine invasion by Russia. These outcomes are part of the atrocities and horrors of war. But to say IDF did this deliberately is appalling.
What I never understand is how engineers working at Apple think about the product they make. Can they love a device that shares data with their employer and advertisers?
Figure 2 doesn't agree with you. It's common but not geographically equally distributed.
Steam simply stores games in it's install folder, and while downloading the (compressed) game files it keeps them fragmented in a separate directory. As far as I can tell it doesn't employ special low-level APIs, because on lower power hardware (and even sometimes on gaming gear) the bottleneck is often the decompression step. This is what steam is doing when you are downloading a game and it stops using the network but the disk usage is going and the processor gets pinned at 100%.

I also heard of this happening to regular users downloading stuff with safari. It is simply terrible design on apple's part that you can kill a macOS install simply by filling it up so much that it becomes possible to not be able to delete files.
I used Private GPT with our internal markdown based developers portal, the results are OK-ish but are closer to a fancy search then to a chat.
Very big conventional bombs also have similar effects and yet they are not banned, so that's not the difference. The difference is in the way people are killed.
Looks nice. For silly exploratory projects I've previously used p5.sound: https://p5js.org/reference/#/libraries/p5.sound
I started with rpgmaker as well, and your comment made me so nostalgic. I remember downloading a game from rpgmaker.net that had a "custom battle system" implemented in it. They replaced the entire built in battle system with a custom implementation that used techniques like you described. I was absolutely blown away when I opened it in the editor to see how it works. It was hundreds and hundreds of "variables" (which if I remember correctly only allowed i64), and hundreds and hundreds of "switches" (which was booleans). I had no concept of stacks and heaps or function calls at that point.

I can't imagine the amount of energy it took to pull that off and maintain/debug it.
Completely locally running search engine.. that queries the Internet
That's not usually how business works. Many reasons, but talent is still hard to find and employers don't want to piss off someone who can find staff for them. And it's likely against the agreement the recruiter has with the candidate for the candidate to go direct to the employer.
You currently can't have a search engine running locally on your phone. Google search is possible the single largest c++ program every built. And nevermind the storage needs...

But in a few years we might be able to have LLMs running on our phones that work just as well if not better. Of couse as you mention the LLMs running on large servers might still be much more powerfull, but the local ones might be powerfull enough.
