iMessage has been one of the most successful delivery vector for these spyware attacks.

So, if you think you are a likely target of a state sponsored attack, best thing you can do on an Apple device is to turn on lockdown mode, turn off iCloud and iMessage, stop using keychain, use only a yubikey for all authentication, and restrict yourself to a limited number of essential apps on your primary device and use a dedicated burner device for all your throwaway browsing and communications, and erase/reset that device after every session. And still, assume everything you say and do online is fully compromised, because there are always system vulnerabilities that haven't been made known yet ('zero-day' attacks) and are being used to compromise highly targeted individuals. In the end, it is a very convoluted cat and mouse game.
you seem to be misunderstanding different terms. You can do OO without inhertitence.

I disagree that foldables are the best compromise, because they are thicker folded than a regular smartphone, which is inconvenient for pocketing, and what’s worse they are heavier, while the screen is also not smaller than a regular phone unfolded.

For example, the Samsung Flip5, one of the smallest foldables, is 15.1 mm thick folded and weighs 187 g, while the regular iPhone 15 is only 7.8 mm thick and weighs only 171 g, while also being marginally narrower (0.3 mm). For those who find the regular iPhone to large, too wide, and too heavy, the Flip5 is not an improvement.

Just for comparison, the iPhone SE 2016 was a full 13 mm (or 18%) narrower, less than half as thick as the Flip5 folded, while only being 45% taller (or 25% shorter than the Flip5 unfolded), and weighed only 113 g.

Small phones are also about “thumbability”, that is, the ability to be used one-handed with the thumb being able to comfortably reach across the screen. The foldables are of zero help there.

Cold gas thrusters are as reliable (because of simplicity - basically just container of pressurised gas and a valve [1]) and as precise in their thrust pulses execution as it can get. Better precision in thrust execution probably only ion engines have but just because of extremely low thrust levels in general (milli-newtons).

It can be very useful for offline work and latency hiding. For example the client can generate data structures with the final IDs then sync them to the server. This can also be useful for implementing idempotent updates.

The alternative of having some sort of "placeholder ID" until the sever gets back to you (or you get back online) adds a lot of client complexity.
> I don't think India has ghost cities in the way you mean

There are plenty. Lots of Indian developers collapse due to corruption tangles or inability to secure financing, for example Jaypee Wish Town in NOIDA [0] or the New Chandigarh project in Punjab [1]

Builders will take down payments from buyers and start construction, but might run out of money, get caught up in some corruption scandal, or fail financial compliance checks now that India has been cracking down on bad loans after the IL&FS almost collapsed in 2018.

Luckily, India had UChicago and Harvard trained economic policymakers like Raghuram Rajan, Arvind Subramanian, and Krishnamurthy Subramanian (guys who if they decided to take American citizenship could have become head of the IMF or WB like their peers Ajay Banga and Gita Gopinath) reform the entire banking and finance sector in India. (And in all honestly, it looks like India might hit a similar bust in the next couple years now that the CEA is politically selected backbenchers now)

Vietnam has hit the exact same hurdle India's economy hit in the 2010-17 stagflation and China during the 2015-16 financial crisis - high capex spending but very low consumer spending leaving it open to backlash caused by FDI variability.

Lots of middle class Vietnamese have purchased condos or houses, but the builders collapsed or are in receivership. SCB (Truong's bank) is one of those banks financing these projects.

Unlike China or India, the backbench of experienced policymakers in Vietnam is kinda empty, as most development in the 1980s-2000s was done by international development agencies, and the rest was basically privatized and done by Korean, Japanese, and Chinese companies (eg. The incomplete subway systems in HCMC and Hanoi built by Japan and China respectively). And unlike China, Vietnam is still fairly early in the value chain with major players like Intel considering leaving [2], and unlike India, Vietnam doesn't have a strong consumer or tertiary sector that can cushion the blow [3]

A similar stagnation hit China in the 1990s after the Tiannamen Square massacre, but was resolved by allowing laisse faire capitalism and rolling out the red carpet for foreign and local investors, but the winning faction in this battle is much more skeptical of the anarcho-capitalism that arose in Vietnam in the 2010s.

Although, leptos actually comes more from "leptos", which I think means thin or petite in Greek. The word "leap" is actually from German roots and "flatypus" is not a real word at all.

Yes, I came to the comments to say the same thing. The LLM is not doing research - it is aggregating data associated with terms and reorganizing text based on what previous responses to a similar prompt would look like.

At the most generous level of scrutiny, the only part that could be related to research would be the aggregation of sources - but that is only a precursor to research and likely is too generalized to be as accurate as a specialist preparing data for actual research.
just like my first teachers said I should absolutely not use Wikipedia.

LLMs was popularized less than 2 years ago.

I think it is safe to assume that it will be as trustworthy as you see Wikipedia today, and probably even more as you can embed reasoning techniques into the LLMs to correct misunderstandings.

Wikipedia cannot self correct.

It sounds like Jason invested a lot of time and care in making a donation of a large collection of possibly historic periodicals.

Show HN: Claude vs. GPT Agent Comparison
Anthropic's recent announcement of tool use/function calls caught my attention, specifically their claim that the Claude models can correctly handle 250+ tools with >90% accuracy.
I've been working with GPT function calling for a while and noticed that the recall for larger and more complex functions is quite low.
So, I decided to compare GPT and Claude's performance in using different tools for tasks like web scraping and browser automation.

Learnings:

- AI agents still work best for simple, well-constrained tasks.

- To create a successful agent, you need to provide it with good tools. The LLM can then figure out the correct sequence of tool calls itself, which feel like a promising direction.

- Tool use is still quite slow and often very expensive. I've spend around $50 just on experimenting with Claude for one day. Imagine what the testing would cost for a production-scale system. Making the unit economics work is difficult but will improve as LLM costs continue to drop.
They need the milli-newton level of thrust control and so need tiny thrusters. Generally the simplicity of the cold gas thrusters in a small package is easy. Yes it is not as efficient, but moving up in efficiency and complexity to catalyzed monopropellant (generally hydrazine) thrusters the thrust ranges are usually > 1N. Same story with any bi-prop thrusters. Certainly electric propulsion has the levels of thrust needed, but then you would need a lot of power for it. And since they are not doing large delta V maneuvers there is less concern about the actual amount of propellant that you need to take with you.

Oh, darling, strap in because the Hacker News catwalk is serving us a spicy mix of opinions on inheritance in programming!

First up, we've got the crowd who treats CSS like it’s the ugly stepchild of inheritance, preaching the gospel of "composition over inheritance" as if it's the latest fashion trend.

Then there's the old guard, clutching their pearls and insisting that inheritance isn't the problem—it's just misunderstood, like a moody teenager.

Cue the functional programming aficionados, sashaying in with their "functions over classes" mantra, ready to throw shade at OOP's entire existence.

And let’s not forget the star of the show, the claim that inheritance is the VIP at the GUI and game development party, although some party poopers argue that the cool kids moved on to ECS systems ages ago.

Meanwhile, the language innovators are flaunting their Kotlin and Swift ensembles, dripping in modern features that promise to make inheritance feel so last season.

In the midst of this fashion war, there's a heated debate on whether we should be dressing our newbie programmers in OOP gowns or functional frocks from day one. And, honey, let’s not even get started on the industry’s trend chasers, who once hailed OOP as the next big thing, only to ghost it faster than you can say "blockchain."

In the end, it’s clear that in the world of programming, inheritance is either a timeless classic or a faux pas waiting to happen, depending on who you ask.

I think your argumentation rests on this, but you should explain why it's daft and how it makes people's lives miserable. I would personally enjoy having 20 minute access to any place in the city I live (which is far from having 9 million people) and still have a vast open space nearby.
One of the strongest skills as a business facing developer is being able to say no.
Harvard Will Require Test Scores for Admissions
"correct" is certainly not the right way to put that. Inheritance and composition here are both fully valid methods for modeling the relationship, and the decision to use either should be dependent on how the models are being used and the expectation for future extension.

>This system is not as ridiculous as it sounds.

It's so not ridiculous that Amazon was able to prevent the entire ecommerce industry from implementing anything even close to a "one click purchase" flow because of a patent. Not because you couldn't see Amazon's source code for the feature, or couldn't come up with your own completely different implementation of the idea, but because as long as you can convince a completely unsophisticated and inexpert jury members that a paragraph of extremely vague text can be read in any way to apply to anyone else's system, you are violating their patent.

Imagine being able to patent addition, or the very concept of a cake, such that nobody could make a product that was bready and/or sweet without paying you a protection fee.

Remember that the US patent office had to expressly ban any patent for "perpetual motion machine", not because it is literally impossible by physical reality, but because they kept granting patents for physically impossible perpetual motion machines

If you were the hacker operating a remote command and control for such a targeted attack, you would immediately know if Apple or some other mechanism silently blocked your exploit kill chain. This notification to users tells you nothing new. If something doesn't work, you move on to the next exploit available to you. It's not likely that they would shut shop and go away just because apple notified users. Only thing this does is Apple gets more users to turn on their protection mechanisms like lockdown mode which makes it more valuable to find vulnerabilities in that (as that is the new baseline now). And so goes the tale. It's a never ending escalatory game.
