Historically it was always interesting and quite challenging legal work, reconciling some things a bit like this with privacy, lawful intercept and anti-remote-exploitation-tool (anti-trojan) laws, especially in Europe (think: the cookie rule, which goes beyond cookies and PII). Then again, more recently mobile apps and operating systems (on all platforms, e.g. desktop OSs) seem to be doing quite a lot of it, so maybe those legal concerns were overblown.

That's wasn't the point.

And what if I want to add them? Most likely other users would to if the SW support was there and you could run Mac apps on the iPad once you connected the keyboard and mouse.
At the same time, MSFT and Google are well on the way to offering this type of service in their Office/Workspace products, obviating the need for 3rd party SaaS

China's main car manufacturers are publicly traded and all are profitable. I don't think they are selling below cost, they are just better at making these things than western factories. Comparative advantage and all that.
I do believe farmers (esp. cattle farmers) are almost fully subsidized by the government and can’t fail.

I invested the patent into the startup when I was founding it. The remaining work is brand design, hardware boards that need another round of redesign (some firmware code can be kept), and app re-development since CTO's work is unusable/not shared.
So besides patent and branding, pretty much clean slate. (app design is mostly done)
Convolutional-KANs
Hot on the heels of recent advances in Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) technology, we introduce our innovative Convolutional Kolmogorov-Arnold Network (Convolutional-KANs)!

This breakthrough extends the idea of the innovative architecture of KANs to the Convolutional Layers, changing the classic linear transformation of the convolution to learnable non linear activations in each pixel

Our team has worked diligently to explore the potential of this novel architecture and has obtained promising preliminary results, with Convolutional-KANs achieving only 0.04 less accuracy with almost half the parameters of the common CNN (2-layer) and 7 times fewer parameters than a CNN (4-layer)

We invite the research and development community to explore our repository, experiment with Convolutional-KANs, and contribute to its evolution

Explore the GitHub repository!

To me, part of this is due to the app-centric nature of iPadOS, as opposed to the more file/data-centric nature of a conventional "desktop" OS.
No this happens a lot. The only reason is tax benefits. They do need an office with alike 10 employees and a flower in it though (to ensure there are actually people there lol), but that’s about it.

So they either stay in NL, or do some sandwich with London or Dublin. It helps that the main Dutch party VVD is completely corrupt and only in there to enrich themselves.

Unless a company is being anticompetitive and actively blocking other entries into the same market, then they shouldn’t be punished with regulation for having a large share of a given market segment. This feels like punishing companies for having a better (or at least better marketed) product than the rest.

The gatekeepers are like forcing me to sell my competitors branded food from my store where my store is wildly more successful because I offer a better shopping experience.

My business model in providing a better shopping experience revolves around selling my own food - I can vertically integrate this and make profit margins in places that another store might not be able to. Interfering with that harms both the experience to the consumer and that business as a whole which wasn’t doing anything wrong.
Base Power Company: Building the Modern Power Company of the Electric Era
I was under the impression that AMD desktops/home servers generally don't go below 15-20 W, while Intel can get down to 4-6 W idle for the full system. Has that changed? AMD seems to generally be the better perf/$, but I thought power usage at idle was their big drawback for desktops/low-usage servers.

IIRC the numbers I've read are that (at least desktop) Intel CPUs should be using something like 0.2 W package power at idle if the OS is correctly configured, regardless of whether it's a performance (K) or "efficiency" (T) model. Most power usage is the rest of the system.
For many of my friends (eu) this is the same. Haven’t done any other streaming for years.
As you added more and more cotton candy you would begin to compress the centre under the pressure, and you would get some heating from this. I think there's a good change you would melt and cotton candy and eventually it would re-solidify into an enormous boiled sweet core, with a diffuse envelope of cotton candy around it.

The Vivaldi browser has a similar feature (not open source unfortunately). I've used it for a while, I quite enjoy the tab and bookmark management sidebars.
It's weird that abusing market power is viewed as fine when labor does it but bad when companies do it. It should just be viewed as bad all around. Imagine having a dispute with your grocer and coming home to find your ISP, gas company, mechanic, and water company all refusing to do business with you until you signed whatever bad deal your grocer was trying to force upon you. This is exactly equivalent to what is happening here but from companies instead of labor.
Another annoyance for me is when trying to move the cursor to the end of a long text box like the URL bar in Safari. You basically have to keep using the “hold space bar” method and swiping one inch at a time. I’m sure there’s a better way to do this but I haven’t found it yet.
Why? It’s based on chromium anyways. Might as well use Vivaldi instead.
One thing that annoys me more than data collection is corporations pretending they do it for my benefit while "respecting my privacy." Stop with the gaslighting, it's absolutely insufferable.

Not to mention, the way the text is written makes me think it's ai generated and that makes it somehow even worse.
Depends what you want. Chromium also has hooks back to Google so if you are really data conscious you’ll need to look to something like ungoogled-chromium.
Yep, I've been experimenting with metallic gel pens on black paper, the result is pretty nice:

A cheap watch or clock will use an off-the-shelf crystal oscillator, where you'll be lucky if it's accurate to 20 seconds in a month.

A temperature compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) can do better than one second per month, but probably not better than a second every 2 months.

An oven controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) or a double ovenized crystal oscillator can get an order of magnitude better than that, But they start costing between $50 and $1,000. Beyond that you get into funky stuff like rubidium or cesium atomic clocks. There are, notably, miniaturized atomic clocks these days - about 2" x 2" - So you could technically put one into a wall clock, although they cost about $2,000.

These days it's usually cheaper to use GPS to control a temperature compensated oscillator, which we call a GPSDO (gps disciplined oscillator).
Being cute and fluffy is always a bonus
The single most significant fact supported by the Bible is the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. History agrees that Jesus was a real man. History agrees that He was significant in the region. The eye witness testimonies support (but don't prove) the resurrection, but consider this - many men and women were executed in the first century because they would not recant that they were eye witnesses to Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. If it were a lie, why would so many take that to the point of their own death?

Agreed. Don’t know what made them wake up, but I did file a complaint about their free tier dark patterns and the Luxembourg EU GDPR office got involved after my countries GDPR office tried it first, and apparently is busy with some bigger investigation, so that investigation might’ve spooked them (not my own application I don’t think)
You've just described capitalism. Consume accordingly.

Edit: It seems people are offended. I didn't mean to. Let me rephrase: Apple's fiduciary responsibility is to make money for its shareholders. If you are not in favor of this, pick different products (slowly migrating back to Linux, in my case.)

NES Elite had a bank of RAM mapped into CHR ROM, which the game could draw into like a framebuffer before the PPU displayed it like it would any other tile map.

So from a graphical standpoint, the wizardry was fairly straightforward but still exhibited a little outside-the-box thinking, which the NES supported with its extensive on-cart mapper and extension chip support.

> It would be so much better if this were a Postgres extension instead.

I've thought about this counterfactual a lot. (I'm a big part of the reason that Materialize was not built as a PostgreSQL extension.) There are two major technical reasons that we decided to build Materialize as a standalone product:

1. Determinism. For IVM to be correct, computations must be strictly deterministic. PostgreSQL is full of nondeterministic functions: things like random(), get_random_uuid(), pg_cancel_backend(), etc. You can see the whole list with `SELECT * FROM pg_proc WHERE provolatile <> 'i'`. And that's just scratching the surface. Query execution makes a number of arbitrary decisions (e.g., ordering or not) that can cause nondeterminism in results. Building an IVM extension within PostgreSQL would require hunting down every one of these nondeterministic moments and forcing determinism on them—a very long game of whack a mole.

2. Scale. PostgreSQL is fundamentally a single node system. But much of the reason you need to reach for Materialize is because your computation is exceeding the limit of what a single machine can handle. If Materialize were a PostgreSQL extension, IVM would be competing for resources (CPU, memory, disk, network) with the main OLTP engine. But since Materialize is a standalone system, you get to offload all that expensive IVM work to a dedicated cluster of machines, leaving your main PostgreSQL server free to spend all of its cycles on what it's uniquely good at: transaction concurrency control.

So while the decision to build Materialize as a separate system means there's a bit more friction to getting started, it also means that you don't need to have a plan for what happens when you exceed the limits of a single machine. You just scale up your Materialize cluster to distribute your workload across multiple machines.

One cool thing we're investigating is exposing Materialize via a PostgreSQL foreign data wrapper [0]. Your ops/data teams would still be managing two separate systems, but downstream consumers could be entirely oblivious to the existence of Materialize—they'd just query tables/views in PostgreSQL like normal, and some of those would be transparently served by Materialize under the hood.

Something similar already exists, see https://www.rewind.ai/ and https://www.perfectmemory.ai/
Yes it likely is. I've had time to play around and see that so far it doesn't look any different (yet). I have a paid account, so apparently I'll be among the early folks getting all the things. Just not yet.

I definitely look forward to re-doing my Three Blind Mice test when it happens.

I noticed in their demo the 4o text still has glitches, but nowhere near to the extent the current Dall-e returns give you (the longer the text, the worse it gets). It's pretty important that eventually they get text right in the graphics.
The fact that it isn’t mentioned is probably a testament to how poorly it sells but Microsoft does have the Surface Go for $499 to compete with the iPad Air.
From the headline, I thought this was yet another attempt by some silicon valley bro to handwave furiously about everything being thermodynamics. Thankfully, this was not the case.

I'm kinda surprised nobody's done this before, given how important estimating wastage is.
Just search for “arc browser”.

They demonstrate compliance, impact resistance and the dynamic nature of their control algorithms. It will not break, and it'll keep it's balance. Compliance is also a safety feature when the robot is working around humans. Most of the mechanical design, including gearboxes, must be designed to resist outside impacts, because these impacts cause much larger torques on the joints than the motors itself.

It's much easier to make an 'animatronic' robot which has pre-programmed motions and can't withstand mechanical impacts.
I specifically said I wasn't sure it's a barrier. My point was that you can't scale up without hard work. That is, you can't scale just by buying more of the same hardware.
You find GPT4o as accurate as GPT4? I feel like it sacrificed accuracy for speed, but that's just my first impression
There's another approach you should consider. I call it a "Truman Show acquisition".

Get with the good 95% of your company and start a new entity. Don't tell your cofounder about it.

New entity makes a deal with your current one to exclusively license the technology and branding, and take possession of the assets. Make the deal as one-sided as you can without your toxic CTO catching wind (and without breaking the law or giving grounds for a lawsuit in the event they do catch wind).

All new R&D goes on at the new entity. All existing staff gradually curtail the hours they spend at the old entity and "resign" here and there, all while working for the acquihiring new entity. Old entity never hires replacements. CTO continues frittering away, you can't afford to pay him, but ensure that his equity in the old firm is acknowledged and protected. At the end of some period (e.g. 3 years), the license agreement ends, everyone but CTO makes a clean break and officially works for the new firm. The old shell of a company gets folded up due to having no money.

Truman Show acquisition.
CatB is a fine book. That feels like such add choice for the situation, aside from just seeing if the person was willing to engage with ideas within software.

I'm curious what texts people would suggest for a non-developer to get some insight.

The ones that come to my mind are the Mythical Man Month, Peopleware, Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering by Glass, or maybe even the 1968 NATO report on software engineering.
Due to Mythbusters I was really into engineering
Well, after, 2 seconds of cursory research Looks like the societ Union had youth military education programs.

Not surprising at all, seeing as I have never heard a satisfying distinction between fascism and communism. What ends up being described is blanket totalitarianism, every time.
Probably not. These settings have been around for a long time already anyway, and they never get overwritten once set, at least in my experience.

Maybe the machines will just pay for more of leisure time as they were originally designed to do? It may just be as simple as that?

Remember the 4 hour work week ? Maybe we are almost there ?

Let’s face it, most people in a developed country have more free time than they know what to do with, mostly spent in HN and social median ofc :)
> Personally, I'd see "privacy first" as not needing to sell any user data at all, in the first place, but we're clearly beyond that already.

That requires users paying, something often suggested, but I have not heard of working commercially for anything where a competitor can supply a user as the product alternate. Privacy just isn't that valuable.
Is that generally a “public” service for you? ;p
I love containers when developing! Especially when working with or testing authentication related stuff. No need to open private tabs all the time.
Oh man, AI is going to frickin rule for education now.

Based on what that answer is saying, an AI something along the lines of GPT4o - with the ability to lockout YouTube and TikTok and the like - is just going to sky rocket kids learning. Things like Duolingo already are doing the spaced repetition and all that jazz. That stuff is easy enough to handle with software already.

But the accountability portion is key here. We have the hyper addictive apps already now. The kids are successfully hooked. The sugar water is ready for the thirsty rats. Now we just need the supervision, the accountability, the grad student looming above the maze, the gate keeper.

Combining the AIs we already have with the software of spaced repetition and the like should be straightforward. The judgement portion is then essentially solved. All you have to do then is link that output to the ability to access the sugar water, the addictive apps.

The kids are going to do anything to get through these 'lame' educational barriers then.

And all of it will be automated, personalized, and cheap.

Sure, sure, gotta keep an eye on it, spot check things from time to time. Make sure the rascals aren't ginning up the systems and hacking something.

But that is just orders of magnitude cheaper than the near one-on-one instruction that the comment is saying is needed.
As far as I can tell, this is about collecting aggregate data - they say at the country level - for example "U.S. users search a lot more for 'government' but less for 'education' than Mexican ones". This particular initiative doesn't seem to be about profiling individuals. And, of course, you can turn it off (even if you're not in a country covered by the GDPR).

If you want to do some kind of high-level data collection, this seems like a fairly ethical way of doing it? It's certainly better by miles than what all of chrome, android and edge have been pushing recently.

I have firefox suggest turned off on my machine (at least the one I have firefox as my main browser on), but that's just me.
This is exactly what I did. I got 2 refurbished iPads for about $100 bucks a piece almost 3 years ago. Works great, and the kids don’t fight over who’s turn it is.

I wouldn't say speaking is mostly for short exchanges of information. Sometimes it's the opposite: my wife will text me for simple comments or requests, but for anything complicated she'll put the phone to her ear and call me. Or coworkers often want to set up a meeting rather than exchange a series of asynchronous emails -- iteration, brainstorming, Q&A, and the like can be more agile with voice than it can with text.
Anyone who uses Firefox with the belief that it offers "privacy" should really read the Firefox Privacy Notice:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/

Quite a few company and organization names are referenced. These include well-known ones like "Google" and "Microsoft", but also others that (at least to me) are far more obscure, such as "our third-party ad platform Kevel" and "AdMarketplace (a third-party referral platform)".

Questionable words like "send", "sends", "sending", "share", "shares", and "sharing" also appear quite a few times.

More broadly, the notice is quite long. A software product that truly respects its users' privacy should have a short privacy policy, mainly because it isn't collecting data to begin with, it isn't sending data to third parties, and so forth.

I know some people will claim that the data collection and sending that Firefox does is somehow acceptable because some of it can be disabled, or because it might be less than what other browsers do. I don't buy into those arguments. A privacy-respecting browser would have users opt in to enable any functionality that might transmit user data, or just not even include such functionality at all by default (it would have to be voluntarily added via an extension, for example).
Please see the sibling comments, I feel this has already been addressed.
A giant planet actually made of cotton candy would be way more interesting.
Only time will tell, but I don't think I've ever had that issue with Firefox so far.
Why? What issues do you have with it?

Having a piece of hardware called an Apple TV, with a TV app, and a "premium" plus service doesn't strike me as a problem. Except perhaps that the Apple TV isn't a TV, which is kind of funny, but I can't think of a better product name and it's not something of real concern to me.
> I strongly agree with almost everything Federico complains about in this article, especially file management like you mention. It is a pain point. It doesn't mean iPads aren't great for a lot of these things.

I think there is a difference between being "great" and "usable". I consider iPad usable for all those tasks, but to be great you actually need to offer more features to Pro users. Right now, the only Pro usage I think iPad are great is drawing, but in this case you can even get by with a first or second generation iPad Pro.

But maybe I am nitpicking, you are right that iPads are ok for some Pro users, but great would be too much.

I don't have a problem if the server side is tracking metrics on what queries are being made. When it becomes a problem is trying to associate the queries based on a single user regardless on anonymization attempts. Of course there's no money in that.
I guess it's time to stop searching from the url bar (sorry, "awesomebar") and create a local html file as the startup and new tab page, with search boxes for all your fav engines. Just like the good old days.
