> but it feels uncreative? like, sure, just because it hasn't been mass adopted by consumers, doesn't mean there wasn't value generation done on an industrial level. you're probably using consumer products right now that have benefitted from 3d printing in some way.

I'd suggest reading both the article and the surrounding reddit comments if you want context for my argument there. The explicit argument there was that everyone would own a 3d printer. Not that they would be used in commercial applications or to produce consumer goods. No, instead that everyone would have a 3d printer on hand to make most of their goods (rather than having their goods shipped to them). That's the hype.

I did not say there weren't other areas where 3d printing could be successful nor that it wouldn't have applications. Rather, that the hype around it was unfounded and overblown.

This is much the same way I see LLMs. The current hype around them is that every job will end up being replaced. Doctors, nurses, lawyers, programmers, engineers, architects, everything. All replaced by LLMs and AI. However, that seems really unrealistic when the current state of LLMs is you always need a human doublechecking what it produces, and it's known to give out incorrect responses. Further, LLMs have limited capabilities to interact with applications let alone the physical world. Perhaps they will but also perhaps they won't. The imagination of what they could do is just wildly out of step with what they currently do.

> what hype train are you referring to? i know a lot of different predictions in machine learning, so i'm curious about what you mean specifically.

I didn't really see a lot of predictions around ML. Instead, it was more just a bunch of articles talking about the importance of it and seemingly ever CEO deciding they need more ML in their products. Lots of stuff ended up being marketed specifically because it had ML capabilities (much like this last CES had almost every product with "AI" capabilities).

Funnily, the ML didn't (as far as I could see) have a whole lot of predictions other than more of an ephemeral notion that it would save manpower.

I bring it up in this case because like LLMs, there's just a bunch of buzz around 2 letters with not a whole lot of actual examples of those 2 letters being put to practical use.
I did something nearly identical to this for the board game Reversi as part of an exercise to teach myself Python, except the opponent was always a simple minimax search-based AI. This was back in 2006, though, so I suppose doing it without JavaScript and putting all of the state into the URL was a lot more obvious of an approach back then compared to today. :)
Another comment mentions Assistive Access for the very dumbed down version, but you can also just disable the multitasking features in Settings if that’s the main issue

Great way to raise suspicion. Maybe buy an old android and fill it with random garbage that looks plausible.
OK, no human of the kind that hangs out in the Hacker News comments would write a summary like that.
I have to imagine Apple is working (very long-term, slowly) towards either a unified OS or a true overhaul of ipadOS that addresses the concerns. They just are fundamentally not incentivized to actually fix the problem. People will just buy both.

Also, who is really the market for an ipad pro. The average consumer is going to want a cheap ipad model for media and game consumption on the go. Ipad pro is for creatives or tech enthusiasts with disposable income; in either scenario, owning both ipad and Macbook is fairly likely, and they do work well as complementary devices.

I'm still using a 2018 ipad pro. it has the modern design and modern keyboard and flies through everything. I use it to look at slack sometimes. It's pretty pointless to me as primarily a macbook user and I don't see any reason whatsoever to upgrade it.
Apple earns $28b a year from iPad sales. Samsung about a $1b.

At some point people on here need to realise that these devices simply aren't designed for them.

And that expecting Apple to dilute the value proposition with unpopular features like DEX is kind of misguided.

Yeah psychology is interesting but not only does it not really have anything to do with the article but it also doesnt provide anything particularly compelling as far as the whole question of "free will" goes.

My other account is rate limited for some odd reason. I looked back at my comments and I don’t see anything I said controversial.

The blue link is the Python code that was generated. I guess it doesn’t show in the app.
It will be interesting to see the different ways competitors train their models to behave.
If you're sharing it with your friends and family, why does it matter if Google can find it? And if they are your friends why wouldn't you share it with them directly? The Internet felt a lot better when people were making the content for themselves and a community that they were part of.
I read the thread more closely and, you’re right, if men are not allowed to take the same amount of paternity leave as women, then that should be changed so that any person can take the same amount of parental leave. I didn’t realize that was not the case (I don’t live in the States). I was responding more directly to the notion that men should be encouraged to take the full leave / same amount of leave as women.
i like this. i've wanted to do this. but what might be the "right answer" to an inquisitive border force who ask why you have device(s) that are factory fresh?
The last photo looks to be some sort of public gathering or protest as well although the nature of it isn't immediately clear from just the photo.

In any case, any of those photos would be absolutely allowable in the US. Wouldn't even be a grey area.
The Total Perspective Vortex in Hitchhiker's notably didn't do anything bad when it was turned on, and so is good evidence that inventing the torment nexus is fine.

1. You can read more about the Fair Source initiative here: https://twitter.com/chadwhitacre_/status/1790101820364267902 (also [0] and [1] for previous discussions). It's not official yet, but it's an attempt to define a new term for Open Source vs Source Available. I figured I'd start using the term early and see what happens.

2. Yes, the ELv2 will be considered a Fair Source license, because it allows contributions, redistribution, forking, etc. You can visit https://faircode.io for an idea of what Fair Source will ultimately entail (Fair Source and Fair Code will be merged eventually AFAICT).

Every Apple review I read reminds me of Russians doing videos begging Putin for things that he definitely won't ever care about.

>First, as I’ve said multiple times, I love my iPad and want the platform to get better. If you care about something or someone, sometimes you have to tell them what’s wrong in order to improve and find a new path forward. I hope this story can serve as a reference for those with the power to steer iPadOS in a different direction in the future.

Then goes on to list a million reasons that it sucks, and has sucked for the last 12 years!

But Apple isn't a dictator and you don't have to stay with them.

If it doesn't do what you want, buy what does.

Or just don't buy a product that you know won't do what you want.

As an aside, both my Android phone from 5 years ago, and my Android tablet, do everything that he complains about his expensive ipad not doing (the only thing I'm not sure about is recording Skype calls).
At this stage there's really only a couple of options. More than there used to be, but still.

When you want to stay faithful to the actual data then your options are limited, for quite a large part of the image a simple convolution is about as good as it gets, except for the edges. Basically the only problem we couldn't solve 20 years ago was excessive ringing (which is why softer scaling algorithms were preferred). You can put quite a lot of effort into getting clearer edges, especially for thin lines, but for most content you can't expect too much more sharpness than what the basic methods get you.

And then there is the generative approach where you just make stuff up. It's quite effective but a bit iffy. It's fine for entertainment but it's debatable if the result is actually a true rescale of the image (and if you average over the distribution of possible images the result is too soft again).

In theory video can do better by merging several frames of the same content.
I just don't want to live in that world of colored functions and the amount of sync -> async changes I'll have to review from the bottom up every time IO gets stuffed into the middle of somewhere.
macOS and the ecosystem of applications was never designed to support touch input.

It wouldn't be able to distinguish between a Close or Minimise action on every single titlebar.
Sure austerity works. Austerity means not throwing good money after bad. Whereas you can lose unbounded amounts of money with stimulus spending, or cause hyperinflation.

If people felt like Greece would have been successful without austerity, they could have lent Greece money at lower rates and with less conditions than the IMF.
A Brief History of the Windows Registry
I never played that one, but the Microprose "look" just leapt out at me from those screenshots (similarities with F-19, Gunship 2000 etc etc).

I did play the later Janes F-15E sim - much more complicated/harder than the Microprose ones were. Not sure it was more fun though, lots more study needed and probably needed proper stick and pedals etc to get much out of it.
they don’t know your device is factory fresh unless you give them the code.
Yeah, I think the idea of a single interconnected network across the planet would be astounding, even if the idea of using wires for communication is not.
What is it that you think that link is saying? I see no financial incentive for Amazon to not listen to their microphones for marketing purposes. From a certain point of view, they could even honor their word and not activate Alexa, but some other program.
> Instinctively, I dislike a robot that pretends to be a real human being.

Is that because you're not used to it? Honestly asking.

This is probably the first time it feels natural where as all our previous experiences make "chat bots" and "automated phone systems", "automated assistants" absolutely terrible.

Naturally, we dislike it because "it's not human". But this is true of pretty much any thing that approaches "uncanny valley". But, if the "it's not human" solves your answer 100% better/faster than the human counter part, we tend to accept it a lot faster.

This is the first real contender. Siri was the "glimpse" and ChatGPT is probably the reality.

[EDIT]

https://vimeo.com/945587328 the Khan academy demo is nuts. The inflections are so good. It's pretty much right there in the uncanny valley because it does still feel like you're talking to a robot but it also directly interacting with it. Crazy stuff.

IBM doesn't have fabs, but they still do R&D into semiconductors that very much target future commercial processes. They do a fair bit on quantum computing too, to name just a couple of things.
Last year I read some fan fiction in which a young woman comes isekai-style from a medievalish fantasy world to present-day Nevada. To make a long story short, one thing she concludes during this experience is that God wishes to bless everyone with ... a CostCo!

I don't think Apple cares much about improving ipad OS and instead use this form factor to test and scale new technology to be used in products they care much more about, iphones and macbooks. For example, 120Hz Pro Motion, liquid retina, and now the tandem OLED in the latest model all went to ipad first.
People should be more worried about how much this will be exploited by scammers. This thing is miles ahead of the crap fraudsters use to scam MeeMaw out of her life savings.

This is not a refutation of my statement. The episode I mentioned came years before the opening of .NET core, and the threat of a lawsuit was very much real at the time. Their track record is generally still one that does not promote trust.
Math experts are not necessarily good cryptographers, and authors of MTProto were not renowned cryptographers (unlike with Signal).

Most people in the cryptographic community agree that the Signal protocol is well-designed, is widely believed to be secure, and the authors react openly and swiftly to potential issues. Meanwhile, a lot of the MTProto crypto is just weird (that is, it does not follow standard practices of the field, without strong reasons to do so), and many cryptographers treat it with suspicion.
iPad has been treated like a relic from a lost civilization.

We can debate origin stories and mythology, but no one (yet?) has the creative power to change the ancient artifact.

Meanwhile, it adorns inadvertent museums.
It only just became viral in social media.

Feels like a really good engineering in a wrong direction. Who said that the audio is good interface anyway? Audio is hard to edit, slow and has low-information density. If I want to talk to someone and have low-information but pleasant exchange I can just to talk to real people, I don't need computers for it.

I guess it is useful for some casual uses, but I really wish there was more focus on the reasoning and intelligence of the model itself.
The way to fix it is to find a material to replace it that’s cheaper and doesn’t have the downsides. We might be able to limit one time use plastic with government intervention, but not the global plastic industry. Call me a pessimist. But once you really dig in to all the places it’s used you realize a lot of the modern world wouldn’t exist without it unfortunately.

Nothing short of that will unseat plastics.
No worries, that was somewhat ambiguous to me also, and confusing. I thought you might be a different person who had edited their comment after receiving downvotes. I mean, it’s reasonable to assume in most cases that different usernames are different people. Sorry to make you repeat yourself!

Maybe email hn@ycombinator.com to ask about your rate limits as I have encountered similar issues myself in the past and have found dang to be very helpful and informative in every way, even when the cause is valid and/or something I did wrong. #1 admin/mod on the internet imo
Interesting. According to that stackoverflow, Chrome is one of the shortest URL lengths of the modern browsers (firefox/safari/chrome). However, it also notes you have to take CDNs and web servers and search engines into consideration, so the ginormous length limits of safari and firefox probably won't be useful any time soon.
Power-seeking corruption (in contrast to its milder cousin, the solely money-seeking kind à la Menendez) exists at the intersection of fraud at its worst and free speech at its most critical.

Let's be clear: what Giuliani et al got up to was fraud. But it's fraud that corrodes not only the economic superstructure of a society, which is replaceable, companies go bankrupt, but also its base metal. So in terms of danger, it's of paramount concern. (How to contain fraud in pursuit of power is almost a defining characteristic of political systems.)

On the other hand, if there is one type of speech free speech yearns to protect, it's the political kind. The kind used in the pursuit (and maintenance) of power.

America has one of the strictest, some would say extreme (I wouldn't), interpretations of free speech. Both in law and custom. We also have a long tradition of resisting the sort of authoritarian populism this brand of corruption finds fertile ground. Private enforcement through civil remedies would be a uniquely American way to balance the problem.
Yeah that’s true, but if they’re not there. They're not there. The content of the conversation isn’t meant for them.
Einstein had a similar conviction. But from all we know now quantum description of the world is the best theory we have. Particles behave following probability distributions. There are laws (of QM) they follow, but that does not mean the outcome is deterministic. We cannot predict the outcome of quantum experiments, only their probability based on the previous state of the world. And that is not because our instruments are not sharp enough, it seems indeterminism is a fundamental part of quantum reality.

Now if the tiniest elements behave that way non-deterministically and we can assume they do have an effect on the world around them, then it seems to be the whole world is more or less indeterministic. Probability distributions can be observed that's all.

Further credence to the idea of non-deterministic world is given by Chaos Theory. A butterfly flapping its wings in Africa can cause a storm in Kansas. Therefore the indeterminism at the atomic level is amplified to the macro-level, as predicted by Chaos Theory.

And if that is the case then we can assume that what happens in our brains is also indeterministic. Thus you could say we have "free will", our wills and thoughts and likes are a product of something indeterministic. Thus you can say that "our will is free", more or less. I'm not sure what "Having a Free Will" would mean, but I can understand that our will is not wholly determined by history.

These companies are themselves claiming they can do this.

They could be lying, but it’s not at all unreasonable to take their word for it when so many people report dramatic specific hits on their speech.

If the CIA put up a page on their web site saying that they really did sell crack in the 80s, would you still try to debunk that claim? (to pick a random example)

It probably seems odd when you're coming from a history of devices with a very short support window, but you don't need to worry about years when you only get a security update until you run out of years when you get the OS AND security updates first.

For instance, that original iPhone SE came out in 2016, the same year as the original Pixel phone. The iPhone is still supported by Apple today, while the Pixel phone was dropped from support by Google five years ago.

Google had to come up with a way to backport features to older unsupported versions of the OS because their support window was so abysmally short.

Hopefully, this won't be an issue going forward, with Google promising a comparable support window in the future.
Doesn't really change the point about cutting off supply.
Openapic: Proposal to make OpenAPI-generator more like protoc
With the loneliness epidemic, I fear that it's exactly what it will be used for.
As a kid in the 1980s, I "debugged" the original F-15 Strike Eagle One - it was written in AppleSoft basic.
How so? It's obvious convenient to for it to all be there on ChatGPT, but I'm more commenting on the "this is so Earth shattering" comments that are prevalent on platforms like Twitter (usually grifters,) when in reality while it will change the world, much of these tools sets already existed. So, the effect won't be as dramatic. OpenAI has already seen user numbers slip, I think them making this free is essentially an admission of that. In terms of the industry, it would be far more "Earth shattering" if OpenAI became the defacto assistant on iOS, which looks increasingly likely.
Good choice. The only circumstances where it’s not a big risk to withhold your PIN is when you are a citizen entering your home country. Even then they can turn it into a pretty nasty time for you (as seen by the guy in the article, where they threaten to just keep his stuff).

I’ve never actually been detained or questioned (but know people who have).

If I were I’d tell them the truth that I feel more vulnerable during the chaos of travel and don’t want any risk that a lost or stolen device could leak anything personal.

Would this satisfy them? No idea. Getting stopped at the border is legitimately a single small concern of many more likely scenarios.
Something I’ve noticed people do more of recently for whatever reason is talking over others. I’ve noticed in the demos of this that the people interacting with o interrupt it as if that’s the correct method of controlling it. It felt unnatural when I saw it happen, and I even have a hard time interrupting Siri, but I wonder if this is going to ingrain this habit into people even more.
the most interesting part to me was the intonation of the voice, as people reason about words, but they feel tone. your brain isn't going to register the voice as "fake." It's going to form the assumptions behind basic learning experiences for a lot of people.
Then what’s the actual reason you wipe your phone?

Franklin would also be puzzled that there would be many people that are nutrient deficient despite calorie abundance.
Thanks - I knew it was a setting back when the first version of split screen apps was introduced, then I would have sworn the setting was removed, and I don't know why I just assumed it still wasn't there.

This is such a charade. Making "invisible" airtags is trivial [1], and I wouldn't be surprised if such airtags are being manufactured en-masse.

We allowed the creation of a global tracking network under the false pretense of privacy. The entire Find My security model falls apart when considering "malicious" tags, and Apple knew about this from the start.
