I have no interest in distributing IOS apps but I would like to be able to install and run my own code on IOS.

Right now I can install my own code on my iPhone but if I don't have a Apple developer account Apple will remove apps after a week. And presumably when the account lapses, so does the install.

How, if at all, are these Apple restrictions affected? Are we still stuck in the thrall of Apple or do we get more options?

Maybe one day that could make it possible to install projects directly from github.

I suspect that there are thousands of interesting projects on the Apple Store that you can't find unless you know exactly what they are called because for obvious reasons the App Store search is a POS. Github would be a much more useful source of the apps that Apple doesn't profit from.
You know, this whole idea of applying what you read to your own life, even if it's good literature is really funny. I've been rereading a lot of southern gothic lit, and thinking about applying Wise Blood or Confederacy of Dunces to guide my life actually seems kind of hilarious (even though O'Connor especially has some interesting commentary packed in her works).
> this is a reminder that the only reason people aren't flying planes into buildings is because they don't want to

One of the things about reading Stand on Zanzibar that really stuck with me was, amid all these relatively spot-on predictions of societal dysfunction, from rampant corporatism to debt-trap neocolonialism to housing affordability, the contrast between Brunner's world of high-impact, low-complexity domestic terrorism and our reality. There are shockingly few people blowing up box trucks full of anfo on major bridges.
I'll be honest, they sound rude for laughing behind your back, but I really disagree with the notion that you're reading "as much" by reading some reddit articles or docs pages.

People who keep up a book per week or month ALSO read those things. I've found many people that don't read have this notion that just going on reddit for an hour a day "is the same thing", but it's nothing like sitting down and properly diving into long form.

That being said nobody should feel bad for not doing it. It's like running a marathon, don't say it's the same because you go for a walk with the dog, but nobody should be expected to run one.
For many average people I don't see how they could be free. Maybe savings account with limitations should pay something and be free, but with checking account. You get what couple thousand passing through each month?

You have all the costs like KYC requirements, actual overhead of tracking and managing the balances and payments. And many of the payments options are free or low cost...

If it was such money maker, surely there would be lot of competition offering zero fee bank accounts.
That's part of why tech products disappoint. The MO is to reduce a complex problem to a simple base case (our robot can vacuum an entire house provided you have no stairs or furniture), half ass solving the complexities, and market your product as if they don't matter.

I'll continue doing stuff myself or paying humans. My time is too valuable to waste on empty promises that tech will save me time.
> companies are on par with things like Cheerios in terms of trust and general perception

Is this supposed to be a marker of something meaningful? General Mills is not exactly a brand that exudes trust or consumer loyalty.
The commies have flagged both threads.
It is the best written reply in this thread. The style is great, up until "ur azz". I'd have appreciated a less hackneyed metaphor, but I can understand the author wanted to finish the lament.

What does surprise is me why someone is so strongly opposed to something that is optional, is a support, and doesn't even get in the way of laying bare the algorithm. It's an annotation to the function declaration, not unlike a return type. Perhaps it's the verbosity?
Thanks for the info! I'm a fairly hardcore opponent of ads, but this seems reasonable enough for now, especially if there's a setting for it.

As always, there's the possibility of the platform going to shit with ads and whatnot, but it seems like people are getting upset about something relatively innocent.
I wouldn't say "always"; the freedom of gay people to have gay sex in the privacy of their homes doesn't affect anyone except themselves, and certainly doesn't infringe on the freedom of others. In other cases the restrictions of "freedom" are not really legitimate – e.g. the "freedom" to not see interracial marriage or something like that (and I did see some twat complain about that on HN just a few months ago).

But in some cases, yes, there's an interaction of conflicting freedoms and finding the right balance can be tricky, and consumer protection laws are a good example of that.
> The problem with having UX people on a team is that they need to jusity their existence which they do by change for changes sake.

This can be said just about any profession working in software. The real issue is that nobody wants to accept that software can be finished especially management - because then you don’t have anything to sell.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there were designers who fought tooth and nail against arbitrary changes. Surprise surprise good UX designers understand UX. But its like the developer who fights for keeping the PHP website because it works.

Sorry i just dont like treatment non-programming workers as something lesser. So many software companies are sucessfull despite having fucked up technology (by programmers). And its sucessful only because they have great design or marketing or sales team.
There is a story of a police speed camera catching a fast jet going around. The snopes debunking has some interesting technical details of why this is really unlikely https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/police-radar-missile/

But of course people have built nuclear reactors at home, so they could probably assemble a sufficiently powerful radar too.

Edit: didn't mean that people need to power homemade radars using homemade nuclear reactors! I'm sure that's not necessary :)
Yes, but don't assume 100% of people are home buyers right now. Many already own the asset, so it's safe to say maybe the top 5% are buying via income, and some X% are also using existing wealth/savings.
again, this has nothing to do with 'market share' (of smartphone devices i think you mean?)
Apparently, people can tell the difference. They do seem to prefer newer violins over the old ones:

https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1619443114

>"We find that [violin soloists] generally prefer new violins over Stradivaris, consider them better-projecting, and are no better than players at telling new and old apart."
I’m trying to understand the notice and the article and it seems like Plex is alleging a general infringement on the Plex Server rather than suggesting the vague explanation given in the article? (Though the language is quite oddly phrased, so Torrentfreak’s interpretation also makes sense)

In that case, I wonder if they’re trying to claim API copyright or if there’s something more substantial behind it. There’s also the trademark matter and IANAL, but I don’t think that’d go through DMCA requests?
This isn't really correct I'm afraid. The cause of SAR is predominantly dielectric losses and the loss tangent is a strong function of tissue type -- CSF, fat and bone are really quite different in terms of epsilon r and sigma, and one has to solve Maxwell with a human voxel model to work out SAR effectively which computationally is a pain.

Once tissue heating has occurred what happens next is well described by the bioheat equation, which is basically the thermal diffusion equation with a massive percussion term. The blood supply is very different to different tissue types and the depth at which peak heating occurs is a very strong function of wavelength.

For frequencies, the combination of these effects means that your eyes are most at risk -- water like and terrible blood supply. This gives rise to the first piece of advice I was given when a graduate student playing with electron paramagnetic resonance -- never look down a waveguide and treat them like a loaded gun!
You can already choose the desired date range in ngram viewer. I can see how this is troubling, but I think it could also be, if not useful, at least interesting to compare ngram results pre and post GPT.
Bukowski's books are funny and sad at the same time, but I would not consider it shitlit! Well maybe some if it like Hollywood I could see it, but definitely not Post Office.
Looks neat but is there a way to guarantee that it’s colo’ed with GHA hosted runners and that I won’t pay ingress/egress? If not then I don’t see how it’s much different than simply putting up my own bucket aside from saving me the logistics around permissions etc.

Edit: I see. This solution you linked doesn’t use GHA hosted runners at all - it’s intended to be a turnkey self hosted runner solution. In other words, a direct competitor to the service linked in OP. That wasn’t super clear from your comment but after reading your links it is more clear. I do really like the pricing here, if it actually works as advertised it’s a pretty great value prop for a lot of orgs.
The safety aspect you point to is just so painful.

I was looking at a 5T scanner from United Imaging (interesting stories there…). Is there a single implant that’s been tested for these novel magnets? Checking out implants is painful enough at 1.5T and 3T.
What is a good GUI interface for FFmpeg?
By following the same vague “can be used to grow piracy” logic, there’s a pretty big percentage of github repos that can be slapped with a DMCA and taken down..
I haven't tried Plex, and use Jellyfin, but I have to say, the UI on Jellyfin is absolutely atrocious.

I wish there was simply a way to make it show me the files I have available, for instance. There seems to be no way to do that. Instead, it insists on auto-detecting everything and then showing some preview image for that, along with some info scraped from the internet somewhere. It sounds nice, but instead when I want to watch "Space: 1999", it tells me I only have episodes of "Space Jam" or some other show I've never heard of. Or, it tells me I have no shows at all, but the shows are instead in the "Movies" section, or somewhere else entirely in the UI. It's bizarre.

I can see why a lot of people would get frustrated with it.
> Joe Public and the media are bad at understanding this distinction. They equate wealth with ownership. The law understands it though, so Joe Public doesn't understand the law.

Or Joe Public believes the law is wrong and understand (correctly) that the relevant metric is practical wealth rather than whether or not some fictional entity theoretically owns it.
Despite your personal fears I believe I spoke for the vast majority of cases rather than just for myself.

Although I suppose royalty-free stock music is the norm nowadays for most commercial uses, which takes it a step further, anonymizing the composer entirely...
Sure, and how many people use it? Available != adopted.
It is not a fast killer, but it kills you. Like tobacco, Alcohol, and the regulated Heroin and all the other drugs too.

The dangerousness comes from the speed of getting addicted to and the damage it causes: health, sociological and financial.

> "can be used to grow piracy"

By that metric github should be taken down.
Short-sightedly, increasing the (young) population is increasing productivity as you said, but when thinking a tiny bit deeper about it, we're already consuming each year twice the resources Earth can provide us, so continuing on this "econo-societal runaway" is completely bonkers.

The population should imperatively shrink, it should already be at most half of the current size.

With this completely different viewpoint, the real contributors to society wellness are those who have less (or no) children.
That's your definition of the term. Most people have a broader spectrum they'd classify as shut-in, which you can discover by clicking on the provided wiki article.

Personally I think your definition doesn't actually work, tbh. Where do you draw the line for "no participation in society"? Wouldn't that mean any interaction? Now they can't even order through a web portal, can't comment on social media like reddit etc.
You'd need to create an incredibly controlled environment to make that viable, which would remove the self-imposed aspect of it.

Even the article you're commenting on has a hikikomori releasing a game project after several years. He wouldn't be one according to your definition either, even though everyone that knows about him IRL would absolutely call him one.
MultiThreading! Finally! \o/
Let’s steer clear of bitter partisanship and hyperbole, please. Freedom is a complex and nuanced concept.

Ah right so because you can afford your mortgage payment you should also... be able to pay a lawyer and form an LLC and throw a bunch of money at it every year?

(Also as I said elsewhere in some states - Texas - they can't seize your home anyway, excepting stuff like mortgages)
Regardless of the underlying mechanism that make them both work, programmers generally have a vastly different conception of yielding (that is, 'producing') a generated value as opposed to yielding (that is, 'ceding') execution time to the OS or a virtual machine.
If you are in the United States, in most jurisdictions, a 24 our eviction would be against the law and come with significant penalties for the landlord.

10 years in jail awaiting charges certainly means you waved off a speedy trial. Yet still, I believe you are leaving out a significant detail or two.
Use the terminal. There does not exist a single GUI interface that does everything ffmpeg does.

Use ChatGPT to help you find the right command for your need.
It also depends on the interconnect speed. If you don't have fast enough interconnect between the machines, you won't get linear speedup with N gpus.
Software always has bugs that need to be fixed. It is never finished because it has an infinite number of ways it can go wrong. The same is not true for any of the non-software parts of software design.

If you're a software shop you should have everyone who doesn't write code on a contract and not be afraid to terminate them when the product is mature.
The yield keyword was also used in green-thread coroutine / cooperative multitasking systems simply meaning 'yield control back to the task scheduler'.

> Even weirder to say its a "C# coroutine" feature when there's no coroutine in the C# language.

Unity has a coroutine system based on iterators, maybe that's where the confusion is coming from:

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Coroutines.html

...or simply because async/await, coroutines or any other multitasking system serves the same purpose for the user: to kick off background tasks.
Sorry to be rude, but I don't want to chat with you on a plane
Right, difference between yield as in "crop yield" and yield as in "yield right of way".
> A link to the commentary asks me to share my data with their 165 partners. I find it ironic.

I guess this is the issue here. For some, data collection, is just _ironic_. /s
That freedom of gay people does affect the freedom of religious fundamentalists to prevent what they consider sin from happening.

But in general, there might exist creative counterexamples. I haven’t found any though.
Yes, that looks like regular SAR imagery. Checkout @umbraspace if you want to see some really nice SAR images captured by satellites launched along starlink satellites.

Just to comment on this point:

> Enforcing safety seems like the right call

It certainly is, however it is hard to argue this point while looking at other more or less recent features:

string_view is basically a fancy "char *", with all the same use-after-free issues (same with other pointer range types and iterators)

Lambas with capture-by-reference can be freely copied and type erased into function<>, so obviously they did not care about safety when that feature got included
> but if it's a "peeing in a bush at night 1000yds from school" type conviction I don't care.

That depends on what the job is, isn’t it? If it would give them more access to children that would be cause for concern.

Same way about bank robbery. Previous bank robbery would give me a much bigger pause if we work on bank security or adjecent fields for example.
Hi, author here,

You can, and we've written about the differences also, here [0].

The summary is that there is still a performance hit for boot time (100s of milliseconds to seconds vs. 1 to 100 of milliseconds for Unikraft); performance hit at runtime (even removing the syscall boundaries has a less-than-ideal impact based on previous studies); and, there's extra bloat from the image size itself (the image is still at the very least 30MB+ vs. as little as 100KB for Unikraft) which affects startup time and cost of storage + transport.

ABQ! Sounds like a classic Better Call Saul story.
> The systems exist for a reason.

Because the rich like them.

> Losing my life's accumulation at age 60 to a greedy or unscrupulous character is not a risk I personally want to take.

So why is the answer "allow people to avoid their liabilities" instead of "don't give people liability to greedy or unscrupulous characters"?

> Personally I don't want to dismantle the system as it allows me to better manage risk.

Personally I don't want to dismantle the system as it favors me*
I think you are not taking into consideration the new content being created by AI with human in the loop, such as in the chatGPT interface. With 100M users OpenAI might be generating on the order of 1 trillion tokens per month. These logs are mixed AI and human text, the human part containing tasks and feedback.

By transforming these chat logs into training examples and fine-tuning the model there is a way to integrate LLM and human signals. Of course it is necessary to be mindful of copyright and PII during this process, not everything is generally useful to be included in the model. But having hundreds of millions of people inputting feedback into the model can scale even more than unassisted content publishing.

Besides the AI users, we have the social networks. Billions of people comment on the news, if you scrape a comment thread such as this one you can readily generate an article from it, grounded in human feedback (sample based on this thread https://pastebin.com/R229b41s)

Ultimately I don't believe publishers will stop creating content because there are many reasons to do it besides collecting advertising fees, but as a backup we have LLMs continuously learning by assisting their users or reshaping informal communications into well formed content. It's a two way street - both the LLM and human get help from each other.

In turn, LLMs learn from other LLMs, usually Mistral and LLaMA would learn from GPT-4, this process works very very well. So any skills learned by a SOTA model with massive human chat logs would eventually be extracted for small models. Feedback percolates back to all AI agents.

tl;dr Turning comment threads or human-AI chat logs into articles is a possible solution.
I have done some reflection on core democratic values. Especially to whether there is a more fair key than 1 person 1 vote. Eg. land is the main mandate for a country to controle. Should land be the key? The one with more land gets more votes.

Whenever I think it out these systems collapses. If it was land that was the key for votes, the society would inevitable converge to a single entity owning all the land and all the voting power - that is not democracy anymore.

In the end all democracies need to strive for equal voting power to all participants.

In the framework freedom can be quantified to be in alignment with what the populous wants. In the US case, "freedom" rights tend to benefit only a few people. This is not a balance, or a zero sum game. This is an absolute reduction of freedom.
Thanks for the question!! :) At first, yes. For the first 3 years but then in 2021 I started to get customers and figure out how to make money, which is a mix of customization work, custom deployments and licensing right now.

The post today is because I want to test out a SaaS option in future!

Most of our team works with customers on their deployments and customizations, like "forward deployed engineers". Because it's mostly cybersecurity, we don't publish any identifying info on staffing, and everyone just uses my GitHub identity when pushing to the main repo: none of the actual public contributors on GitHub are DOSYAGO employees.

It's a lot of work, that's why my account has 4000+ contributions in 12 months haha
> Step back from the Internet, unsubscribe from non essential creators, close tabs without verifying if still needed

Pretty much, yes, that's the answer, at least for me. I've stopped keeping tabs on much of what's considered as being "new" and I've surrounded myself (literally, I think I might have a hoarding problem) with books that I consider to be close to my (hobby-ish) interests.

Even when it comes to those books I 100% realize that I won't have enough time to read them all, but whenever I see a mention/reference being made from a book that I'm currently reading to a second book it's good to know that I have that second book in my piles of books located around the house. Hard to logically explain, but it is what it is.
> While the repository doesn’t host or link to copyright-infringing material, Plex argues that it can be used to ‘grow’ piracy.

Can someone in the US please ask for DMCA takedowns against all of Microsoft's repositories? I've seen plenty of people using Microsoft products to "grow" piracy. Including github itself.
Good luck to them. Xiaomi has been already doing it for years at approachable prices. They now also have a car, the Su 7, a project which Apple gave up on. Of course, it possibly comes with th CCP/PLA embedded spyware.
But you don't need DNA to prove it though. You have interacted with other people in the past. Parents, siblings, relatives, school mates, teachers, bosses, medical records, taxes etc.

If imperfect is fine then all of these are options too.

Not to mention... Photo id.

There's actually lots of research on that topic, if you search for "Stradivarius blind listening" on Google Scholar you'll find some. Can't recommend a specific article unfortunately, but it's an interesting topic. My current understanding is that there is no perceptual difference that has been proven, and even later models are blindly judged to be better.
