Compare this to the Android system, where google has wholesale deprecated their podcasts app. You’ll have to find a 3rd party one if you want to access that functionality.

My Galaxy S1 still plays podcasts just fine....I keep it hooked up to bluetooth speakers just for that.

Google disabled the ability to download new/updated apps that could run on this phone long ago, but the apps already on the phone still work. Indeed, it works better than the iPhone 5c, since I can use any micro usb connector to charge my phone, but the 5c is stuck with a proprietary connector that isn't made or sold anymore.

The point I’m trying to make is that for Joe Consumer, everything on an iPhone just works.

This hasn't been true for years, if it ever was. Siri never worked properly, and most people complain about the horrible accuracy of the fingerprint and face unlock. Text messages sent to/by Apple users frequently disappear into the ether, discovered only when the communicants physically meet up. The cloud software is prone to overwriting files or accidentally deleting them. And don't even get me started about all the people holding their phones the wrong way...
>Why not upgrade it to an amount of storage you couldn’t otherwise get

He's running a repair shop, so used market.

>But. Uh. For all that work

The difference between 128GB and 512GB on the used iPhone 15 market is $200+. he's probably buying the 512GB NAND IC for $25-40. If you're a repair shop you already have all the needed tools and jigs except the maybe the CNC mill, which is about $3-4K. The only things we don't know is how long it takes and the failure rate, but the process (especially the CNC milling part) looks pretty consistent and repeatable, so I'd not be surprised to learn he's profiting off this.

There is already a lot for Google, but let's not forget that there are more search engines out there.
Yes this is a good empirical study on the types of tasks that's been shown to be impossible for transformers to generalise on.

With both empirical and theoretical support I find it's pretty clear this is an obvious limitation.

How does divinity feel? According to the bible you drop dead instantly if you gaze upon the face of God.

These church spaces eschews color and decoration and instead shape the light and the space itself to give you a feeling of the divine.
Eh, either way my comment would have been the same. This is a wicked problem in the classic sense.
So what's the financial incentive for companies to develop & maintain open standard messaging protocols? For example, I'm sure it costs Meta a pretty penny to facilitate messages with central servers, store historical messages, and pay engineers to maintain and develop new features. If they have then be forced to open up Messenger for free, they might not have started Messenger in the first place.

Also, SMS is the open protocol so we have at least one interoperable standard for people to choose from.
And don't forget that conservatives are targeting Griswold v Connecticut (the Supreme Court case legalizing contraceptives), and conservative justices on the Supreme Court have claimed it was wrongfully decided. It's very likely that the Court will allow states to criminalize contraceptives, if not outright ban them throughout the entire United States.
The article is incorrect about categories of adult content being illegal in the US. The cited Miller Test has been used to justify bans of real life photography, but the supreme court has allowed first amendment protections for works of art that objectively do not cause harm by their production, which necessarily includes drawings like those on pixiv.
If you have the equipment, it's the most consistent and least risky option. Purpose designed CNC mills are not even that expensive in terms of shop equipment, maybe 3-4k.
Whatever. It's more wasteful to throw down a perfectly fine machine where with just an SSD and ZRAM can do wonders under a light distro, even have 10-20 tabs open under Ungoogled Chromium like nothing.

It's not reality, but you, high end users, are pretty spoiled.

With UBo, your statement about requiring 1-2GB of RAM to view a web page it's pretty much bullshit unless it's something like Google Earth 3D or similar. Because even Youtube gets cuts down on CPU and RAM usage with that and the parameter array from the file at git://bitreich.org/privacy-haters copied to /etc/profiled/chromium.sh.
Windows users can just paste the "--arguments --foo --bar..." list to the Chromium/Chrome desktop shortcut's EXE path settings after the EXE path.

> It seems that Hubris is not designed as a general-purpose operating system. Processes are defined at build time.

These are both correct.

Well, I mean, Hubris is general in the sense that, if you're doing an embedded system and you can deal with the constraints it has, like the latter, it can work for your projects. But it's not trying to be anything other than a good embedded OS, or to handle any project.
That's not true and is part of the problem. Paper ads only have "brand value". Advertising on Google/Facebook allows you to target your ads at males, 35-44 who have expressed interest in cars and are registered republicans.
I had Apple Music back in 2018. Unsubbed and never used the app till March 2024 when I got a free trial. It had my complete playlists and history from then.

Sounds like a lie everything disappeared after 3 months
You're missing my point that you're still beholden to the domain name registrar that manages your domain name on your behalf. That account getting permanently locked out will have all the same bad consequences for your online life as your Google account getting locked out.

And keep in mind that being a domain name registrar is a low margin business (typically they're only grossing a few bucks per domain per year, before accounting for any other expenses like staffing and systems), so you're not gonna get great support.
Apple gets 25% of their revenue from Europe, but only 7% of their app store revenue. This means that most of their Europe revenue is from hardware and AppleCare/services. Even if they opened up the app store completely, they would lose much less than when pulling out entirely. The fact that they work so hard at complicated solutions in order to open up the app store as little as possible shows that they think it’s worth it.
Also the current limitations don't solve spam, I get spammed on WhatsApp often, it just limits it on the expense of non-offending businesses that want to offer quality service to their customers.
is the kernel using cargo? I don’t think the package manager is relevant.
I gladly make time for coffee chats, but I only offer it when it suits my schedule. I wouldn't ever put it on my website.
One of my more favorite forms of testing is offline E2E testing. Python and Go are very adept at doing this kind of testing, which is nice. The idea is that you use exposed APIs (read: anything for consumption. Could be REST but also could be important packages) just as the user would use them. The nature of testing is that it captures the discreet contracts you're mentioning by reusing the API itself and ensures them.

There's a discussion to be had that's the volume of E2E vs unit tests, but that isn't this discussion.
Sure, and SMS is the protocol equivalent.

A lot of email protocol communication has been replaced by private, non-open solutions such as Slack, forums, Whatsapp, etc.

There should be open and closed protocols. If you want to use an open one, then go ahead, If a closed one works better for you, then go ahead.

Apple didn't replace SMS. It is still there on every iPhone, and they expanded SMS reach for iPhone users who have other devices like iPad and macOs systems.

In what universe do you exist where SMS was removed?

They're arguably still not there yet, sure the standard was ratified years ago but the implementations are still a mess and uptake is almost nonexistent.

This is correct, yes.
No frame buffer. The target CRT display scanned an electron beam from left to right in about 63 microseconds, snapped it back in just a couple more microseconds, working gradually downward to produce about 200 such lines before taking a couple milliseconds to return to the top. The 6507 had to literally write the pixels into that raster in real time, and was just skin of the teeth able to do that, hence the phrase 'racing the beam', leaving just the retrace times for any other program code to run. To get video from a cart, all that still has to happen. Pretty cool.
Yes, but the hard part is that were a lot of "74"s and you had to figure out which one had to be changed... :)

One of the reasons I like to watch "Colombo" is that it was essentially filmed in Los Angeles and around Southern California.

It's an ad hoc capture of the southland in the early 70s. I like to reference IMDB to try to see if the landmarks in the show still exist. Some do, some don't. The criminals used to live in some very nice houses up in Bel Air.

A recent example had Colombo at a winery. Well, the Pomona and Cucamonga Valley is where many of the wineries were back in the day. But, that's been transitioning away from that area for some time. The Ontario Airport exists where that winery was in the show.

But there's still vestiges of all that in the area, and the area is still in rapid change. What used to be dairy farms are all turning into warehouses or new residences. Yet, there's still that same old local convenience store on the corner in its 70+ year old building just down the street.

It's a very interesting place to just watch the change happen around you.
Guns are used defensively significantly more than offensively.

This simple and obvious fact "disarms" any gun "control" arguments.
We are getting close to fusion with magnetic containment. So at some point, regular materials won’t be a limit

But materials are improving at a rapid pace. So many orders of scale to co-optimize meta materials. Materials in the future will be magic compared to the limits we have now.

Materials won’t be a barrier to interstellar travel

We are only decades away from being able to do it, for very low mass ships/probes with AI. Long before we will be able to create mega structures
My Surface Pro 3 still gets 90% battery life.

Apple people like to claim that Apples last longer than their competitors, but that simply isn't true. Most people, myself included, can't tell you what Dell or HP support is like because we've never had to use them. But every Apple user knows what Apple support is like, because every Apple user has had to use them.
it was invoked manually at build time, and then at CI/CD time (there was no runtime type checking). we did output types to pyi files (the python equivalent of C header files), but mainly we used the inferred types to check the code for type correctness - one of the unique selling points of pytype, and why google was developing its own typechecker in the first place, was that the other available python type checkers would check annotated code for consistency, but would not do anything about type errors in unannotated code. if pytype did detect type errors, the code failed CI and had to be fixed before it was checked in.

we did also have a separate tool that could merge the inferred types back into the source code as annotations, but it never got much uptake.
If all you need is normal and bump maps, then https://github.com/azagaya/laigter is pretty good for quick creation. (Free)

> people are First Nations

These people spent centuries evolving a culture and were violently forced into a Western European one. Do we have any evidence a Western European culture will ever work for them?

We assume that all people can live in all cultures but I think that’s naive - chestertons fence and all that. Is there any historical evidence that diverse democracies work? There’s ample literature to the contrary.
A lot of the value proposition of owning an Apple device is that it doesn’t get bogged down by rogue software like other phones. So that 25% of revenue that doesn’t involve App Store revenue can still go down if they mess up the App Store too much. But I think as long as rogue apps is something you have to opt into with full knowledge of the consequences, it should be fine.
As another datapoint, my account is equally old, also mac.com, and I have not been affected.
I'm curious where you live that this seems so unusual.

I'm in the USA, and any area with a large immigrant population will have a shopping mall or at least a few stores where signage is in English & the language of the local immigrant population.
Right? Expecting to see this on hackaday soon, if it isn't already.
Not handing out antibiotics left and right is a way to counter antimicrobial resistance, a serious threat to the bigger population if gone out of control.

It should only be used when absolutely needed. Seeing how casually some use it is quite shocking. Lyme is serious and should of course be treated if it’s identified as such.
That point is like 10+ years in the future though

> I have a similar feeling when I bring friends to places I spent lots of time, but which have now been completely transformed by redevelopment

Our family's 1800s home was one of five, on 2 forking dirt roads that meandered thru the woods. From our front porch, we could see across the creek, out to where the prison grew alfalfa and corn.

Our dirt road+creek met the paved road; that was the school bus stop. Across the pavement and past a 40ac cow field was a domed radar installation. It served a nearby Nike missile base. The prison guard towers, maximum security and it's railroad were a half mile to the side.

The missile base left in 75. The train ended in 77 w/ stock sold by 80. My brother evicted us in 87 - and for good measure razed the house and every tree. I married and left the area in 90. The sprawling prison complex sold to developers in 2000s.

I visited my birth home (site) in 2019. I needed a map to find it. The paved road I knew had been ripped up and replaced with a different road going different places.

The cow field where I waited for my bus was a forest. In it's way, this was the most disorienting part of the visit.

The dirt road forking off of ours led to a sportsball park. It continued on a bit and was bisected by an 8 lane cross-county highway.

My dirt road was paved and ended at a cul-de-sac of townhouses where my neighbors had been. Our lot was occupied by the commercial nursery that my brother had built and later sold. Our ramshackle garage still stood for some reason. The fields across our creek were more townhomes.

I have historical photos of our home and nearby. However, I regret that we never took pictures of the 2 miles around our home - the land we walked and drove 1000s of times.

It certainly never occurred to any of us that the roads themselves would disappear.
I'm a lawyer that works in the web-scraping space, and I always chuckle when I read threads like this. Almost every company that we now consider a monopolist (or their affiliates) in the tech space used scraping a part of their process to build their business, and almost every one of those same monopolists now prohibits startups and competitors from scraping their data (which, invariably, is not actually "their" data in any sort of legally cognizable sense). And so perhaps the ethics of web scraping are not so straightforward. And neither are the legal issues associated with it.

I wrote an article about that last fall that got some attention here.

Open 5 libs.rs, which crate are you in? Always look at full path instead of filename. A mod.rs means a much more cleaner organization, as you know that all of a folder module's content is within that module, and you don't have to look elsewhere.

The AMD documentation consists mostly of very laconic descriptions of the (hundreds or thousands of) registers and of their bit fields.

There is almost no explanation about how they are intended to be used and about the detailed microarchitecture of their GPUs. For that, the best remains to read the source code of their Linux drivers, though even that is not always as informative as it could be, as some of the C code may have been automatically generated from some other form used internally by AMD.

The Intel documentation is much more complete.

Nevertheless, AMD has promised recently in several occasions that they will publish in the near future additional GPU documentation and additional open-source parts of their GPU drivers, so hopefully there will be a time when the quality of their documentation will match again that of Intel, like it did until around 2000.

Swift death to deviance is a way to keep the system tight. The designed scope probably keeps it small anyway. Scopes have a way of creeping, but I don't think people will want to force tasks into Hubris that would be better on the host rather than in its embedded controllers.

This is an outrageous take. Is iMessage the only group messaging app? If Apple was gate keeping all group messaging, I could see your point.

Yes, but you can choose a medium-sized, established registrar with a functioning human support desk, where you are the customer instead of the product driving hyperscale ad revenue. The hosting provider is not an issue, because you can switch very quickly to a different one if needed, and only have to change your DNS entry at the registrar, or whatever you use as your nameservers. Depending on your country’s jurisdiction, you also may have some legal rights to the domains you acquire under the country TLD and are not exclusively at the mercy of the registrar.
You are correct.

But it’s also fair to say (imo) that AVP has made massive leaps. Are we now taking for granted the major leaps in nailing the interaction model (look and finger-tap), and delivering display tech that makes watching movies on it unlike any other movie experience just 85 days after release?

Yes, it needs to be lighter. Yes it needs more software/apps/content to fit greater use cases. Yes it needs to be less expensive to broaden its appeal, etc. Apple has a decent track record of patiently iterating YoY, polishing products to their mature, stable design state (thus giving rise to a new cycle of complaints about stagnation and not being bold and innovative).
At 1% of the speed of light, the energy of a proton is 47 keV. This is trivially easy to shield against. The energy of an electron is just 26 eV.
