Your comparison doesn't hold because stupid legal decisions aside corporations are not people.

It would be like comparing throwing a broken appliance out to execution.

They're superficially similar but that similarity is totally irrelevant.

What is relevant is that the people of this region are coordinating to resist the behavior of a business that they consider to be unscrupulous. It appears that they are quite successful in this endeavor.

Like it or not this sends a message companies who want to do business here - you can do business the way the people around here want or you can fuck off.

As a person who isn't a corporation that's really refreshing to see.
Depends on how you define “make it”

But usually the number is a lot lower.
My guess is that in addition to Apple just not caring, they have market research telling them that most users don't want this feature. I imagine that the average HN commenter is probably as far as possible from the average iPad buyer. The main usecase is for families, and it's introducing a lot of complexity for basically no return.
> their green username posting AI junk isn’t going to rank them

You're going to see a substantial overlap between the least original users and the smartest AI, assuming the AI people actually deliver on their improvement promises. They see their job as making "Turing test" discrimination non-viable. This kind of thing leaves you with an increasing proportion of "users" on the platform who aren't real but have garnered enough crumbs of interest and upvote to appear real.
Yep, same!
Apparently not, at least for this update.

I had the settings disabled, then updated to the latest version ("126.0 (64-bit)") and settings were kept disabled.

So at least for now it looks like it respects your current settings.
Author here.

> - "deprecated" does not mean "removed".

Right, but defaults matter.

> - Even if sudo somehow disappears, there are plenty of replacements already. OpenBSD's "doas" is probably most well known

I'm not talking about sudo, actually. I'm talking about suid, which if it is deprecated (not supported by distros; you can already turn it off), then doas won't work either.

> but there are other things, as well as DIY solutions like ssh'ing to localhost.

Yes, that is essentially what this does.

> - For the cases like that - highly security-critical software without any special requirements - one would want widely-used, well-tested software.

Yes, that is why I say not to use it.

The whole point was to prove that you don't need systemd to get something working and that it could be relatively simple.
I think this is actually the security researcher's fault. If you read the small print, this kernel bug doesn't meet the Bug Bounty Qualification Criteria of being on an OS that Apple actually gives a shit about.
You could probably add that if you were sufficiently motivated. Either by adding an LED on the power or data path, or by adding a physical switch. I think it should be fairly easy on laptops; I'm not sure where you'd jam the hardware in a phone or if you can access the cables for the camera/mic without messing with traces.

I'm a little curious if iPhones could be modified to route the {mic,camera} {power,data} through the silent mode switch, either instead of or in addition to the current functionality. I don't really have a need for a physical silent mode toggle, I'm totally fine with doing that in the settings or control panel.
Yeah. I've been drafting and revising relocation plans for years, so if it seems to heat up or kids might be conscripted we'd probably manage to leave in an orderly manner within a couple of months.

I'm probably too old to get conscripted even if I were to botch my predictions, I'm old enough to have done both obligatory service and a couple of military employments and been placed in and culled from the 'war placement' registry.
Similar here... also, when you need to reference something from a book, I find it easier to recall roughly how far into a book it was physically. Vs trying to search for something in digital media. I am not using mostly digital as having a lot of physical books is a pain at times, and easier to read an ereader in bed.

I’d rather they make Firefox subscription based. I’d rather pay $5 a month and have no ads or tracking of any kind. They can even run a separate fork of Firefox or something for this purpose. If Firefox goes down Google will lock internet behind a DRM and we gonna need another rms or Torvalds to deliver us from this hell.

Can you imagine a world without Linux, with Windows and Mac pretty much the only mainstream alternative? I’d rather pay a small fee not to have that.

> The new bundle, called StreamSaver, will be exclusively available to customers of Comcast’s internet service, Comcast Chief Executive Brian Roberts said at a MoffettNathanson investor conference Tuesday.

They should have called it "iCable". Or maybe "Cable 2.0". Or "Everything you hate about cable, now combined with everything you hate about streaming".

The software to detect the transits seems like a fun challenge. Locating each star in each of the images taken, then comparing their brightness in each one. Seems simple enough until you then realize your literally dealing with astronomically large numbers.

Wasn't like 15? years ago with the AOL search data anonymized release that people found multiple ways to connect dots to whittle it down to just one person or a small subset of people?

Wasn't this also shown with anonymized taxi-cab data (released in NY?) many moons ago?

Would it not be possible with knowing that you are tracking this data to funnel people into doing searches in a way that would reveal things?

Directions to the out of state reproductive health clinic, combined with card data would be all it takes to do serious things to people in some states.

Defaults matter. A lot.

Anonymized data is not always anonymous, collected server side or otherwise.
It depends. For data with a lot of columns (in excel, lets say, or a schema browser), wide horizontal is better. For code, I prefer vertical because I like my entire procedure/function to fit in one visible screen.
Comcast is toast soon enough -
They're trying to make "Fetch" happen with Peacock, and it isn't working.
They've refused to invest in FTTH and been pushing the limits of copper to their extremes...
They've driven their customers into madness and disdain for their services to the point that many people are trying to get out by any means possible.

With these mobile 5G internet solutions which work well enough in some markets for a majority of households, it's only a matter of time before Comcast is gone for good.
No I get that. For cars it’s actually a lot harder because they have a lot of valuable parts that can’t be meaningfully secured.

And joy rides are the worst of all because the perpetrators aren’t around by the time you locate your car of bike. Locating it is actually the least of the worries, it’s usually crashed somewhere or thrown in the river.

But a phone, e-bike, or expensive camera, etc. are better served by integrated “Find My”. If it gets to Shenzen it’s lost anyway but otherwise removing the activation locks or location mechanism in practice will destroy the core of the device.

Locking an AirTag behind a mechanical lock cannot achieve the same. It takes a minute to pick or drill the lock and ditch the AirTag in an envelope to Shenzen. Think of LPL and what lock can prevent that. The lock is still the weakest link and if it can’t protect the bike directly, adding layers of complication directly relying on the same weak link seems pointless.

One of Feynman's lesser known works is his lectures on computation.

https://www.amazon.com/Feynman-Lectures-Computation-Frontier...

Feynman is not as expert on the topic as he is on his core research, but his gift for great explanation carries over and makes the material more accessible. The lectures are ground in thermodynamics and the related information theories, and there's a very accessible lecture in there too about Maxwell's Daemon. Most of the material is very foundational and still correct, so it's a good read for anyone who is interested in the area. I'm glad I read it before I had to deal with more complicated and statistical approaches to computation and entropy.

UTM is a great (and open source) alternative on macOS as well...

https://mac.getutm.app/

It's a wrapper around Qemu and Apple's Virtualization Framework, so the performance is actually pretty good and it supports emulation of other architectures.
It strikes me the bottleneck for this problem isn't Vec or List, it's the serde_json Value type that needs to be used. This is useful for serializing/deserializing values into Rust types but if you're trying to validate JSON against a schema you don't actually need the JSON value data, just the types of the nodes (or more specifically, you only need some of the value data, and probably not much of it, so don't pay for it when you don't have to).

If you implemented your own parser for the schema and the JSON and only used an AST to validate + span information (which can just be a pair of u16s for start/end of a token) then you can collect your error messages very, very quickly and generate the error message once validation is finished.

Heavily optimized compilers will do this for semantic analysis and type checking, where the IR they use can be constructed quickly and then used with the input text to get helpful messages out, while the guts of the algorithm is only working with semantic information in a structure that's compact and easy to access/manipulate.

All that said, serde_json is incredibly convenient and giving up to write your own parser is a big hammer for a problem that probably doesn't need it.
I recently had to downgrade my phone for a few days to an original iphone SE, 6s internals basically A9 chip. It was noticeably faster in the ux than my current A13 phone. Makes no sense to me. I type “cal” in spotlight on the A9 phone and I get calendar returned almost instantly. I do the same on the A13 and there’s a few seconds of delay before any results show, but get this I can’t even get calendar to return, only calculator and google calendar that isn’t even installed.

So considering that new phones aren’t always faster than the old ones where it actually counts (the ux), how are these newer gen ipads fairing? Do they actually feel like upgrades?

None of the stuff we did at school showed any indication of insight into things of relevance to our world.

If I took out a loan on the value of goods being shipped to me, only for my ship to be lost at sea… it would be covered by insurance, and no bank would even consider acting like Shylock (nor have the motivation of being constantly tormented over religion) for such weird collateral, and the bank manager's daughters wouldn't get away with dressing up as lawyers (no chance their arguments would pass the sniff test today given the bar requirement) to argue against their dad… and they wouldn't need to because the collateral would be legally void anyway and rejected by any court.

The ships would also not then suddenly make a final act appearance to apologise for being late, to contradict the previous belief they were lost at sea, because we have radio now.

The closest to "relevant" that I would accept, is the extent to which some of the plots can be remade into e.g. The Lion King or Wyrd Sisters — but even then…

"Methinks, to employeth antiquated tongues doth render naught but confusion, tis less even than naughty, for such conceits doth veil true import with shadows."

While I agree multi-user would be nice, I don't necessarily agree it's a good thing for families. A shared device should be treated as such. Don't install or login to apps that you're not okay with the rest of the family accessing.

I'd even argue that children that aren't old enough to have their own device (IMO before high school) don't need a personal profile. And on that tangent, kids shouldn't even use phones/tablets device unless they can responsibly use them.
I think a small fee subscription can be very attractive. Less than $5 a month. I already pay $5/month for better search experience. Sometimes Kagi finds things neither DDG nor Brave can.
It might be possible to disable this feature through a policy file [1] just like other features can be disabled, e.g. here's how to disable auto-update:

{
"policies":
{
"DisableAppUpdate": true
}
}

Create a text file named policies.json in a directory named distribution inside the Firefox installation directory. In my case that ends up looking like this:

/opt/APPfirefox (package root)
/opt/APPfirefox/firefox (currrent nightly)
/opt/APPfirefox/bin/firefox-127.0a1 -> /opt/APPfirefox/firefox/firefox-127.0a1
/opt/APPfirefox/distribution/policies.json

The browser sees this file and abides by its contents. Open about:policies#documentation in Firefox to see which policies can be configured this way.

You have to think of the LLMs as more of a better search engine than something that can actually write code for you. I use phind for writing obscure regexes, or shell syntax, but I always verify the answer. I've been very pleased with the results.

For me, it's the support for ad-blockers that actually work, plus greasemonkey. But it's been awhile, and maybe I need to look again.
I just thought of one more thing. I really like -fdefer-type-errors in GHC and wish Rust has something similar.

Both Rust and Haskell are very opinionated in the way the program is organized. Adding a seemingly small feature can often result in larger-than-expected refactoring. (In Haskell, one might need a new monad transformer layer or convert non-monadic code to monadic; in Rust one might have to rethink ownership patterns or add Rc to many places.) In GHC, type errors can be deferred until run time, until the point where the expression containing the type error is forced. If the expression containing the type error is never evaluated, the program works; if it is, you get an exception raised. This combines especially well with laziness: for example one can find the length of a list even though evaluating the element of the list would result in runtime exceptions. This is useful when I'm halfway through a large refactoring, when there are plenty of errors remaining, but I want to run my test suite to determine whether the parts without compiler errors actually pass their tests.

It slowly descends the gradient of life, from humanity to town to commerce to recreation to family to solitude.

Ask HN: MIT license vs. BSL (business source license)

Yes and no. It's possible, but it's not a stable configuration, so it's unlikely to form naturally.

It sounds like social/political problems as well as funding are indeed problems in the causal chain of going to the moon that are not solved.

From what I'm gathering, people consider a problem solved if the engineering problems are solvable. The point that I'm making is that social, political, and financial problems, if impediments, remain unsolved, because in fact one cannot "go to the moon" without solving them.

Only considering a problem real if it's in the engineering path is counterproductive to accomplishing the goal.
I don't even want my browser to support searching from the browser UI. If I want to send information to Google I'll visit their web page directly. I don't want to do it by a misclick.

It's surprisingly difficult to disable searching from the browser UI in Firefox. Firefox insists you have at least one search engine enabled at all times. The best option I know of is to set the undocumented setting "browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh" to "true" in about:config, which enables an "Add" button in the Search preferences for adding custom search engines. You can then add a fake search engine on localhost that will always fail, and set this to be the only enabled search engine.
