And even if they didn’t, maybe it would be Kodak sensors in iPhones instead of Sony sensors. A lot of possibilities.
For sure, it’s just a bit more effort to reverse the app binary and find that part of the code. Enough effort to deter most crackers apparently.
Thanks for the explanation. I'd heard about the r / l issues with romanizing Japanese but hadn't made the link.
I'm dying here, from the article;

> What about Raghavan’s career made this feel right? How has nobody connected these dots before and said something? Am I insane?

Yeah spend any amount of time in tech and you will learn this feeling well. There should be some long German word that describes it.

How many acquaintances do I know that have sold their useless startups for 10s of millions. Others that are promoted well past the Peter Principal into positions that have them leading thousands - and lacking the basic skills or empathy needed to understand what it is their orgs do.

This can either make you bitter and burn out... Or you can let it go. The universe doesn't owe us fairness. Ask the seal being played with by an Orca before being torn to shreds how it feels about fairness.

Go enjoy life friends. Luck dominates so much of what is perceived as success. There are more important things to worry about.

The Supreme Court often dismisses cases for the entire reason that constitutionally it can't make laws. That's Congress's job. It's fair to be critical of how much Congress can punt its responsibility to a 4th branch of government with little oversight.
> Govt. agencies can’t make laws

This is an unfortunately common response that often misses the point: U.S. government agencies do indeed have the power to make decisions with the force of law. Rule-making is a valid authority (subject to legal review of course)
Why is it not scalpable?
Like you said, once you know the URL, you can check in from anywhere. Just check in with a bunch of different pieces of information, and then you can let your buyers have the one that’s next up when they get to the restaurant. Unless they match an ID up to the check in, it still seems possible. They restaurant could use one-time codes, but then regulars couldn’t check in on their way.
Apple's iPhones are not the be-all and end-all of phones. They are starting to lag behind other major brands. They are not magically destined to stay 'on top'. (And of course, the iPhones are only 'on top' in that 'Western' niche-market of one-eighth of the World's population.)

Other phones have been 'on top' in the past. Remember Nokia? Remember Windows Phones? Even remember Blackberry?

Market leaders only remain if they are out and out better than anything else. "You are only as good as your latest product".

I think we are mixing up two different ideas

Suppose an institution is overworked, it has two options - long queue or rush the job.

Courts understand their role is important, so you have a long wait, but they d0 the job properly.

Patent office, perhaps, rushes the job. Now whether they issue too many or too few patents is maybe equally bad, in my view, it’s screwed up either way.
First ever social polling platform
Thanks for your reply.

I carry a Pixel in one pocket and an iPhone in the other while lamenting the two decades since the deprecation of my Sidekick. Much like the discussion about older users here, it's tragic that we can't learn anything outside Apple Park from the SE or the mini showing the path to light and fast form factors. I know I'm not alone there as all my friends made the same half-deprecated choices.

A decade later, it's hard to blame Samsung for the Galaxy Note being so successful, particularly for older users who don't have my Coke bottle bifocals now that the entire Android market followed suit, even if they were a little late to the party.
Mac Source Ports is such a wonderful site. It looks like we'll never be a first-class gaming platform again for 99% of major games but at least the projects hosted on this site increases the depth of the back catalog we can play, and it's great to have them all collected in one place.
A phone that is not controlled by Apple, Google, or Microsoft would be great. But that is probably too complex a product for that amount of funding to cover.
Tesla was in a ridiculous bind.

Its market cap was about 4 to 5x higher than any other car company. That kind of difference is hard to justify based on tangibles such as 'well, their brand has more value' or 'well, they are just.. better at building cars than their competitors'. Sure, but, 5x with no way that other companies can catch up in the next 10 to 15 years?

Instead, it 'worked' by peddling itself as tech company that so happens to make cars.

The problem is, that veneer requires upkeep. Specifically, actually selling to the masses requires being competitive with them, but, lowering prices and acting like a car company would thus starts eating away at the idea that Tesla is a tech company and not a car company.

Screwed if you do, screwed if you don't. Because the car companies have 'caught up' and are now making all-electric sedans with tech integration. And the car industry is trying to squeeze out the all-electric sedan with cheaper hybrids. Tesla can no longer rely on 'sports brand uniqueness' (that market is no longer solely tesla's, and it is far too slow for tesla's current valuation).

I have no idea how to solve for that. I'm assuming tesla's stock is on its way to be ~25% of what it is now.

The actual DK study is far less assertive about it's conclusions, from what I can recall. People who think they don't suffer from it love to prove that they do by raising it almost to the level of physical law.

Octopi are intelligent, but we see them reacting to their environment the vast majority of the time. We do not see them engage in behaviors that result in bad outcomes. They seem to spin up a mental model to assist them in their day to day, which is very different than having a dogmatic belief that harms or even inconveniences them. They seem very direct. I'd want to see some documented behavior such as cyclical motions, or returning to a spot repeatedly, disregarding danger, that kind of thing. Our intelligence models the world imperfectly, via metaphors we encounter in the world itself. We use the mental space we gain from using a portion of our working memory, as well as our exectutive control functions to not react as we create our narratives, which we use to persuade others socially via language. Sociality is baked in.

Quite possbily octopi use their 9 brains in a genetic algorithm for problem solving. The camo they use gives them advanced signalling for free. The redundancy their multiple brains give them might let them just compute solutions who knows?

Finally, it's important to remember that people who never change their mind often propogate their worldview to more malliable people. That constancy is comforting to many, and the emotional machinery is millions of years older than the rational system we cobbled together out of our excecutive control function we got from our cortex. That's why advertising is not just somebody reading the benefits of a product.

After all, smart people get scammed just as easy and dumb ones. In fact, it's better. Once their emotions are subverted, the story they tell themselves will be utterly plausible.

You also don't need to be a genius to sense when somebody is manipulative, and contemptuous of you. So you stick together with your peeps and crowdsource a heuristic of distrust of the eggheads. You can't really trust people smarter than you, right?
Cash grab from their VCs is probably more accurate... I have zero doubt some incredible engineering has gone into the product.

However, from what I can tell they were searching for a problem to solve instead of coming with a distinct, compelling, articulable vision of what they wanted to build
This is like that scene in the Simpsons where Lisa tries to teach Homer that correlation does not equal causation by telling him that a rock keeps bears away, and he responds by wanting to buy the rock.

Correlation isn't causation. Don't just buy that someone is fully to blame because someone told you they were fully to blame.
Well those are all measurable quantities, and you can measure them in proportion to their economic importance - like house insulation is a big change if you live in cold climate, etc.

I am not saying it’s easy, but economics is full of complex measurements, financial derivatives, and god knows what. Maybe they should spend some effort measuring the real world.
I think - I hope, rather - that technically minded people who are advocating for the use of ML understand the short comings and hallucinations... but we need to be frank about the fact that the business layer above us (with a few rare exceptions) absolutely does not understand the limitations of AI and views it as a magic box where they type in "Write me a story about a bunny" and get twelve paragraphs of text out. As someone working in a healthcare adjacent field I've seen the glint in executive's eyes when talking about AI and it can provide real benefits in data summarization and annotation assistance... but there are limits to what you should trust it with and if it's something big-i Important then you'll always want to have a human vetting step.
I think the most post-launch coverage they got was when Apple released that universally scorned immersive video of MLS highlights, months late and edited like a traditional TV highlight reel.

If they were just releasing more good video (people loved that Alicia Keys thing), I think there'd be more excitement among Apple fans at least. As it is, it's hard to escape the conclusion that Apple really does think of this as more of a dev kit than a device even for enthusiast users.
I would assume it could come up with one it isn't trained with, but a correct, much less novel, result would be due to random chance, not an intelligent awareness of what a sudoku is, and what sudokus already exist.

It might just as well copy half of a New York times sudoku, or make up entirely nonexistent words. As far as I know LLMs can't actually do the math necessary to generate a correct sudoku. It would just give you some "sudoku-like" text.

I'm not an expert on LLMs but based on what I do know, that's what would happen.

Alternatively, don’t buy into the “need” to be Blue. I love iMessage myself, and don’t use anything else (other than Teams for work). However I’ll refuse point blank to use Snap or Facebook messenger. I lose out on some communications but I live with it.

Same with Signal - since I can’t apparently use it without giving it access to my Contact list, it’s another system that’s not used by me.
You do do know that there is this "behavioral clause" that is in your employment contract.
Mechanical repair (i.e. broken camera here and there, stuck seatbelt, etc) is going to be always cheaper than collision repairs.

Also makes sense to exclude collision repairs - as an individual owner I am not going to run to a shop to repair scratch or gash - I am perfectly happy with mechanically worthy car that has imperfect looks (thats why I maxed out excess on my insurance).
I’m not a constitutional scholar, but I’ll say this —- there’s a reason this one is debated. It seems to me (with around 70% probability) that there are many possible constructions that could emerge which would more or less conform to the (rather contingent) bar for Supreme Court decisions.

I say contingent because the history of the Supreme Court is far from a deductive process of pure interpretation.

I recognize the utility of the Supreme Court while dismissing any grandiose claims of objective morality or obvious legality. It is a body of people after all.
Anyone who talks about class traitors, or almost any sort of traitor, outside of a real war, is deeply misguided on this point.
The only thing in that screencapture that happens outside of the space shooter game is relaunching the game after closing it. If you know that pressing the up arrow and enter to run the last command is a common thing, I don't think that's too hard to follow.

Granted, I've played the space shooter in question before, so I do have some context :)
Why wouldn't the device just be your ear buds connected to your phone?

I already use siri all the time as I usually have my AirPods in and it works great. That seems like a much more likely device to access our digital assistance than some necklace or pin. Better yet, you could just pair it with your smartwatch and not even need the phone.

I'm still deeply skeptical on voice driven tech as we have had that available and easy to use from various devices for over a decade now and it hasn't taken off for tons of reasons. I just am not going to have a conversation with my computer with others around.
i don't see anything social about it. it requires oauth to login, and your hamburger menu doesn't do anything.
That's a great idea. I love them because many of them are evocative of either an actual real sound, or play with some loan word. This makes them easier to remember, plus they don't need any kind of special conjugation.

Abbreviation, repetition, and stacking bits of words together are a big difference between natural vs formal Japanese language skills. It's very Lego-like that way.

Yeah, it's a lot of what you said but if it were the only player in town, then you'd have to deal with the monopoly. With AI, I can pull up a 70-99% accurate answer to my question (for many questions) and avoid the mess of ads altogether.

You can tell Alphabet is panicking because they started showing AI-generated answers to searches above the ads they serve.

What makes Khoslas predictions any more relevant than mine?

My predictions would be almost diametrically opposite his.

I'm willing to wait 100 years to see who was more correct, him or me. In other words, there's no cost to making predictions. And who's going to care if you got it right or not?

I agree with your comment. In fact, when companies mishandle a CEO's departure, his successors and the company itself suffer. For many CEOs, the idea of handing over their position to someone else, who could start changing things, makes them anxious and overprotective, which is why it should be treated with care. In that sense, I strongly recommend making a clean exit without conflicts.

Auto makers want what everyone else wants: recurring revenue. They want to find a way to sell subscriptions to something. The infotainment system is a potential angle for that. CarPlay makes that irrelevant.
Well, my point is that "scale the model" is equivalent to upping inference costs.

>bug-yor-bug compatible with RHEL

It was never quite that, but that was the theory.

The problem is because it was an exact clone of RHEL, it's somewhere between difficult and impossible to have a proper community around it. Like I said it kind of revolved around "file a bug to Red Hat, wait for someone to pick it up, and then wait more for it to be shipped, which will be months away at best and could be years if it's not a paying customer's priority"
I don't think it was Vic who convinced Larry or Sergey of that. It was Mark Zuckerberg. Google was in a frenzy about the sudden explosion of social for a few years before Google+ came along. Facebook's growth and rampant poaching of Google employees had left upper management despondent and fearful. It appeared (though in hindsight we know this was wrong) that social graph integration was so powerful that adding social to any app would automatically make it win. A commonly cited example was that Google had bought Picasa and worked on it for years only to see it be smoked by Facebook Photos, a product with way fewer features. Then Facebook Messages started taking away all the personal email communication from Gmail, and they got into ads and so on.

So you can see why Eric, Larry and Sergey were afraid. They were worried that Facebook might ultimately do a search engine that somehow integrated social recommendations, and that'd be the end of Google. That fear was shared by other top execs like Hoelzle and Alan Eustace iirc. No wormtonguing was required. They convinced themselves of that thesis all by themselves.

In that environment lots of teams were trying to sprinkle social magic onto their product, often in hamfisted ways. The GMail team launched an ill-fated social network called Buzz that immediately upset lots of users who clicked through the consent popup without reading it and discovered that their address books were suddenly public. Maps was adding their own social features. Orkut was an actual social network popular in Brazil. But, none of these products integrated with each other in any way. They mostly even had their own separate user profiles! Like, there wasn't even one place to set a profile picture for your Google account. It was pretty disastrous.

Given that, some attempt at a unifying social layer was inevitable. Gundotra gets unfairly demonized in my view. Google+ was probably the best that Google could have done to compete with Facebook. It wasn't enough because it was a me-too product driven by corporate fear, and such products are rarely compelling. But it also wasn't terrible. Some users really liked it.
They are called Nazi concentration camps, if you google Nazi death camps the top results will all include the words "Concentration camps", that is what we have called them for years, whether technically accurate or not that is what they are called.

Your response should have been: "calling them internment camps is as misleading as equating them to Nazi 'Concentration camps'". But you didn't want to use the word concentration because you knew it would make your argument look silly.
It's true for some features (the wife (and I, to be fair) were pretty strongly on the "heated seats" side of things) but things like infotainment were not dealbreakers if everything else lined up.

But CarPlay is darn close; I'd not say I'd never buy a car without it but having it means I don't need to worry if the infotainment setup is crap or not, because I won't be using it.

Unreasonable by what standards? I suspect we evolved with a regime more rigorous than this. Perhaps our society has become unreasonable in how people are prevented from having the time to use their bodies to even a fraction of their full extent.
This also raises a vulnerability. The author seems convinced this pirated copy is safe because the main binary is signed by Ableton, but there’s no guarantee if there’s a signature check on any of its dependent files (or that the check is not vulnerable or the parsing isn't vulnerable in some way which would allow hijacking the execution flow).
> “In fact, it was the original DCHS Band’s Facebook page, but was hijacked from our high school band, and has since become what you see today,” Jarvis wrote. “There have been countless attempts (from the band director, school officials, current band members, and alumni) to regain control, report the page/images, etc., but Facebook has been non-responsive.”

Sadly par for the course
Phrases have properties other than their literal meaning. These can be both important to an author's intent, and hard to get across; in the same way that when someone fails to get a joke, you can likely explain it to their satisfaction but it's much harder to get them to actually find it funny - the punchiness and associations are part of what makes one laugh, and these become lost during extended explanation.

You can explain the meaning of a text, sure, and for technical texts that may be all you need, but if the goal is not simply the transfer of dry information and the result fails to trigger the intended associations and emotions, your job as a translator is not yet done.
I actually prefer wired. Otherwise when I get in the car and turn it on, it pairs with my wife's phone half the time instead of mine. I also almost always want to charge the phone anyway.
