Troubling iOS 17.5 Bug Reportedly Resurfacing Old Deleted Photos
You can't convince me there isn't some kind of funnel from Disney Imagineering into the US military if this is the kind of tech they're working on. Most R&D doesn't happen in the public spotlight the way Boston Dynamics and Disney apparently do it.
Looking at it another way, what has Apple missed?

Very rarely has Apple truly been the first to a market, their strategy has always been to see an upcoming technology and... well make it good. (not always the first time, but still).

Smartphones, tablets, smart watches, even AR. Sure the price is insane but you can't ignore just how polished it is compared to a lot of what is out there. Apple was not the first to any of these, but when they came out with theirs they redefined expectations.

Before anyone says AI, AI isn't a product. It's a feature.

I really hate that we see the Vision Pro being considered a Flop. It feels like from the beginning Apple knew where this device geared towards and that it was not going to be a mass market device. But it gets it out the door so people can start playing with it while the hardware catches up with the software. And like the Apple Watch, they can see what customers actually want and refocus their software efforts.

The fact is, Apple's products are the best they have been. The Apple silicone continues to be regarded as the best out there. The new iPad is getting rave reviews, even if iPad OS may be holding it back a bit. Apple TV+ keeps putting out amazing shows.

I just don't buy this article, it feels like we are in a weird quiet period in tech. There are a lot of things that could be done, but we just don't have the hardware to really back it up for things like AR and other wearables. But in the meantime we will just be doing a bunch of AI features.

Also, if we are going to call the Car a "flop" but then criticize them for not finding a new product. You don't get it both ways. Same with the Vision Pro.
Most of these sites have astronomical/calendrical orientation. I would say the definition of trade has to include knowledge and techniques. I can imagine a culture developing a steady state around the seemingly consistent movement of celestial objects and slowly losing it’s cultural center has things shifted.

I find interesting that astrology is based on the rising of the sun in position of the planets which is distinct from a lunar calendar.

What sort of cultural shift would that change create?
I made this suck less last year and it was just recently merged: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-java/pull/1231

This lets you use Pulumi w/Gradle multi-project builds in Kotlin script.
There is a meaningful lack of conviction from Apple wrt Vision Pro. This may be the result of them having such an easy ride getting developers to jump through hoops for iOS devices, but I think it does reflect that the wider company just doesn’t believe in it.
You keep posting this completely unsubstantiated theory.

Way back when the license changed the threads on HN had HashiCorp employees claiming the change was primarily to protect HashiCorp from the fact IBM was reselling Vault. IBM then went ahead and helped fork Vault (OpenBao).
Because you can charge up a lot more when adding hot and hyped features like LLMs instead of doing good engineering.
Readability of Optimized Kotlin Code
What you are doing here is called manipulation: you rephrase what I said ("a computer science professor should not throw a link to a study as a justification for unnecessary sarcasm in an article with an authoritative tone") and push it to the extreme ("universities should forbid people to read articles in domains where they are not experts").

I am pretty sure you understood what I meant: it is a poor take in terms of computer science (which I find disappointing coming from a "computer science professor") that includes unnecessary bashing at a completely unrelated measure.
I agree with you on the AI point, but with crypto not all is what it seems.

Yes you may have short term growth, this is solely due to there being less regulation.

Despite what many people think regulation is a good thing, put in place to avoid the excesses that lead to lost livelihoods. It stops whales from exploiting the poor, provides tools for central banks to try avoid depressions.

Costs wise, banks acting as trust authorities actually can theoretically be cheaper too.
I love this. Great job. Bought you some coffee.
No such item.
> What are the tech gadgets which folks need which haven't been made yet?

We don't know. It's just that they're not likely to come out of Apple during Cook's reign.
You might need to read the article again, because those things are unrelated. Or you should explain what you mean.
Sounds like you are proposing to hit a civilian in a civilian area with missiles carried by a drone. Do I hear you right?

What will you demand to be done when they whack us back?
It is a stretch to call the MAXes a new product, even though it turned out to require more extensive work than envisioned, but the bit about actively hiding the differences is right on point.
Sadly, yeah. In this case, it really sounds like there’s blame enough for everybody.

Test pilot didn’t ask enough or the right questions of the engineere.

Engineers almost certainly downplayed the system.

C-suite for being profit-seeking sociopaths.
Greedy? Why would you bet your product and customers on another company? If someday Hashicorp suddenly died so that nobody adds new features or fixes bugs, you can't do anything about it because their code isn't "open source" even though available, when a "true" open source project is just next door. Any big enough company will think about what is the safest approach to their product.

(Of course, companies do go out of business, and products stop to be maintained, and the example here is a bit extreme, but the point is that company will do what makes the most business sense)
It is more sinister, it is apologia for genocide.
Regulation protects old, big incumbents that are slow to innovate. How is that a competitive market? Meanwhile innovation, wealth and power is created elsewhere.
I wouldn't expect Oracle to have a license complication with itself...
> In most languages, doing what this article describes is quite straightforward

Well, no. In most languages you wind up making a typed wrapper object/class that holds the primitive. This works fine, you can just do that in TypeScript too.

The point of branded types is that you're not introducing a wrapper class and there is no trace of this brand at runtime.
Cook has bet on increasing services revenue instead. Financially, this has been very successful, and has given AAPL growth even when they could not grow hardware sales.

However, this strategy has turned Apple into a rent-seeking company that must continuously expand subscription services, while locking down the devices and giving themselves a preferential treatment, to avoid competitors undercutting Apple's high prices. This motivates Apple to obstruct integrations with 3rd party services instead of giving their users choice and good UX.

If Apple didn't try to maximize services revenue, they could have run AppStore with merely a healthy margin, rather than a duopoly fee that keeps alienating developers. There would not be a messy battle with Epic, and the EU could not justify a major intervention.

Suburbs here in Stockholm are a very different beast than suburbs in the USA.

I live in a suburb of Stockholm and lived in a few others previously, the model for a lot of them is to have a small centre with shops, grocers, healthcare, a mass transit station, sports facilities, culture centres, with dense housing around the station with increasingly less dense housing towards the edges of the suburb: smaller apartment buildings, followed by row houses and villas towards the edges. This is much more sustainable model than American suburbia, to the point I've never required a car to live here.

In the USA, Canada, Australia and other extremely car-dependent societies this is not the model for a suburb.
99.9% of cars with cvts pretend to switch gear instead of just acting like a CVT.
I've always been slightly surprised that there have been no breakthroughs on ways to sober up, and especially on ways to feel less of the effects the next day. Yes it would be a worthy thing for society, but also, whoever achieves it would make vast amounts of money.
Not that i disagree, but the corporation also has a way of diffusing responsibility to thousands of individuals, each making a small piece of the total decisions that led to an outcome. It's impossible, in theory, to pin a particular individual with absolute certainty, that they'r totally and 100% responsible for said outcome.

Of course, i am in the camp of changing the regulation such that outcomes that would be considered gross neglegence leading to loss of life is layed on the management, regardless of whether the decision is diffused or not. Aka, they hold the statutory responsibility, and is criminally liable - that's the price of being in management. They would get the tools as management to put in place preventative measures, which can be used to cover their ass.
Interestingly they're also looking from Smalltalk developers, didn't expect that.
I see that the parent has already addressed this in another comment and has edited their original statement, but I'll leave my question up - this helped me understand the difference:

There’s a bigger difference between the MAX family and other versions of the 737 than there is between all the different crossovers a car company pumps out.

Boeing 737 MAX 7 is 138,699 lbs vs 737 800 @ 90,710lb vs 737 100 @ 61.994 lbs. Hell the new 737 MAX 10 is ~203,000 lb.
> The internet is what changed everything.

Broadband. Dial-up was still too much of an annoyance, too expensive.

Once broadband was ubiquitous in the US and Europe, that's when the real explosion of computer usage happened.
Not true. I've done SRED every year for the past ~7 years. It is work, but there are specialized consultants that do most of it. If the work is truly R&D (which would be the case for a cutting-edge AI company) and you track your work in JIRA or something like that, then it's mostly just writing a few pages describing the efforts.
Here’s one:

An Apple phone marketed towards kids. Has email, music, iMessage/SMS, phone, maps, FindMy.

No web. No apps. A smart phone form factor with dumb phone features.

Isn't this exactly what they are doing? 99% of buyers don't need thinner, lighter or more powerful devices. Maybe battery life, but even that's getting pretty good.

These things are nice to have, but no one is going to go by a new iPad pro because it's 0.5mm thinner and 20g lighter. As far as power, normies aren't even approaching the limits.
I think most of the ALDH from the stomach/LI would end up in the liver though.
It kind of was, I think.

The case design is what made the iMac so striking, it didn't really contain anything much new. On a technical level, what set it apart was a newer processor, the G3, (which debuted in the Power Macintosh line in '97) and USB on the motherboard. They had an existing line of beige all-in-ones (e.g. Performa 5200) that the iMac was very much an iterative improvement on.

The most talked about feature at the time was probably the colorful plastics and lack of a floppy drive, and neither of which I'd say are year-long engineering efforts. Except for the fact that Apple was allegedly six months away from going out of business before Jobs returned and slashed operating costs, it's not entirely unlikely that a consumer Mac with comparable internals would have come out as the Performa G3 or whatever in much the same timeframe.
do you remember how they changed their profile pictures to include a transparent french flag? do you also remember how the majority didn't share the actual cartoons that were used to justify the attacks? if the virtue signallers did, the social media companies would have censored it. if the virtue signallers did and the social media companies didn't censor it, there would have been additional riots and the companies would have been banned in ~20 countries.
Copyleft is not required, free software is a gift freely given. Even public domain is ok (weird places like Germany that don’t have public domain notwithstanding).

What must be rejected is nonfree licenses like the BSL.

Everyone is waiting for AI robots in the home. We're just filling in time until then.

Robot dogs; J.F Sabastian's toy soldiers greeting you at the door; carers, cooks, maids, bodyguards, pleasure models, personal trainers...

Engineers can enjoy making robots without ridiculous constrains like "thinnest/lightest ever" or VR contraptions that most people can't stand after 10 minutes. It will be great.
That funding may have felt good at the time compared to some other academic fields.

But compared to the 100s of billions (possibly trillions, globally) that is currently being plowed into AI, that's peanuts.

I think the closest recent analogy to the current spending on AI, was the nuclear arms race during the cold war.

If China is able to field ASI before the US even have full AGI, nukes may not matter much.

Not only in imaging.
More generally, blue noise is often used with all kind of Monte Carlo simulations, since the more evenly spaced sampling can speed up convergence. Raytracing can be seen as one such MC simulation

> The larger iPad works well for convenient media consumption

The iPad screen ratio makes it a horrible device for media consumption compared to 16:9 or 16:10 tablets. However, that same screen ratio is also what makes it great for application and web browsing usage.
This is not the issue that is raising questions of criminal liability.
It's just ridiculous. The fee is too low to actually matter too apple, and it's ridiculous to have to pay a yearly fee so you can add value to Apple's ecosystem for them. You even have to pay it to publish free/open source apps. Then if you dare to think about charging for your app, they take 30% on top of that.

It also means hobby programmers are much less likely to get started with developing for iPhones because for most of them it'll be a (at least) $100/year loss.
Being fed is a pretty good incentive most people are fine with any role in the group if they are fed. The alternative was doing everything on one’s own.

I’m sure individuals had preferred roles. I think in this day and age describing them as labor may be more accurate than slave.
Can you show us any evidence?
Most probably this will be Microsoft's response to Chromebooks in the classroom. Same concept but integrated with Microsoft Office, Outlook and whatever, something many schools are using on their Chromebooks already.

The entire shtick of Windows is it's userbase and app library on x86. Porting your app to Android tablets makes more sense than porting to Windows on ARM, and developing a PWA web app makes more sense than that. Power-user apps (including games) will definitely stay on Windows x86 for now, with Linux x86 being it's primary alternative.

This product will likely be for users who just use a web browser and want integration with Microsoft services with that, so mainly the educational field.
> Probably this is due to confusion over what the term "AI" means.

I use a 2012 MacBook pro for my daily. I upgraded it with 16gb of ram and installed fedora on it and I haven't had any major issues with it besides the battery life, but that is to be expected.
Clarifying, they have run out of ideas for profitable growth net of the cost of capital.
If we are talking about tuning for a specific workload, what’s wrong with that?

If your in-house DBA doesn’t have the experience to perform the specific tuning required, then that’s what support contracts are for

The documentation can’t cover every customer’s use case and configuration. That’s just enabling folk to blindly copy inappropriate sysctls they don’t understand like they are building gentoo kernels.

I'm excited to bring my skills and experience to a new challenge and help build great products.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
Well, I can't debate people who believe in the spiritual realm, they can believe in free will and there is not much debate to be had.

But for anyone else, I still don't see how the concept of free will even makes sense. It is either determined, or random. What other options are there?
DEW's (Directed Energy Weapons) are capable of surging power and more likely. https://climateviewer.com/2018/07/05/directed-energy-weapons...
Thanks! I updated the title to reflect that.
Blue noise is not specific to AI at all, it's often needed for wherever you need your random to look random to the human eye: true random/white noise, doesn't look random to us, because it has elements that look too clumped up to each other, blue noise has nicely separated elements in places that look random.
I hear these complaints and can't see how this is worse than the pre-AI situation. How is an AI "hallucination" different from human-generated works that are just plain wrong, or otherwise misleading?

Humans make mistakes all the time. Teachers certainly did back when I was in school. There's no fundamental qualitative difference here. And I don't even see any evidence that there's any difference in degree, either.
> Interfaces are an inherently weaker form of the age old Operation Code and data packet paradigm.

Only if the language in question doesn't allow something like `interface MyNewInterface extends MyOldInterface { ... }`.

I'm not too clued up on state-of-the-art for OO languages, but my understanding is that this is a practical approach in the mainstream languages that support OO.

For your [0] link, I'm familiar with those arguments, but I believe that this is very subjective. For example, in a modern context, I'd probably use interfaces, which makes all those arguments, except for the state argument, moot.

For the [1] link, I've not read that before but it is a very long interview and I am in disagreement with the general thrust that the argument is "generic programming" vs "OO patterns". If all the facts were forced into that argument, then sure, there might be a point to the criticism, but the fact is that it is possible and simple to use both at the same time.

IOW, they are not in competition with each other, so presenting one as superior to the other is pointless.
I notice that the actual noise has more moiré patterns than traditional blue noise. But it does probably sample better over a time series.

Most generative AI will struggle when given a task that requires something more less exact. They're probably pretty good at making something "chessish".
I mean the amount of energy they can tap into is going down. It means a substantial segment of the population are worse off, because they can't afford stuff/can't afford transport/can't afford to live comfortably. Energy is a general good for achieving a high quality of life.
I guess there's not much training data out there to introduce ideas about facts that are not in the training data. We have to teach models that unknowns exist.
I was about to post "is that correct with only the original having a full-size SD slot?" but apparently the only RPi I ever owned was a 1 model B and not a 3. That would explain why I found it to be a bit slow when I last used it :P
Reliably syncing database and front end state
The solver might be deterministic if you take some sufficiently large global state into account, but the process of

apt install bar

from a users view is not. It can have a different result depending on what is already installed, or even if all other system state is the same it can change with time.

My point is that a package "bar v3.2.1" that depends on "libfoo v1.2.3" needs to be considered a different package than "bar v3.2.1" that depends on "libfoo v1.2.4" or even "libfoo v1.2.3 compiled with -O3 instead of -O2", because the resulting package can behave differently due to the variation.

But as soon as you have that there is no need for install time dependency resolution anymore, since it is all done at build time.
IIRC there used to be a website with this very name (rss2email) that basically had just two input fields; an RSS URL and an email address.
Yep. My second Dell laptop had the screen hinge break, because they anchor the damned things in plastic, and the screen case is rarely rigid. Google "Dell laptop hinge issue" and see how many results you get, and how far back they go. At least 15 years.

There's no reasonable explanation aside from planned obsolescence.
Terence McKenna predicted this:

We really are doing this "AI PC" thing I guess?

I was really hoping we would just... not. Not looking forward to those ads being all over showing gimmick that most probably don't want. Hopefully we don't start seeing "AI PC Ready" parts for custom builds.

Hopefully the LTSC version of Windows 11 doesn't have any of this crap in it.

Also great, so the hardware will be fine. Still not convinced Microsoft can pull off ARM in any meaningful way compared to Apple. I highly doubt the entire PC market will switch over anytime soon unlike Mac.
