This is false. No matter what you do configuration-wise, macOS sends hardware identifiers to Apple, on each OS update (the ECID and others to the TSS server gs.apple.com), as well as when it registers for APNS. The obtained hardware-identifier-linked certs are then used continuously to access APNS.

There is no avoiding it in the first instance (the OS update process), as it is required for updates if you have boot security enabled, and there is no UI to disable APNS.
That’s the internal use restriction. There is also the restriction more relevant to the use cases I’m talking about on Value Added Products which is “the customer is prohibited, either contractually or technically, from defining, redefining, or modifying the database schema or other structural aspects of database objects”.

Which is, basically, saying that you can do anything that doesn’t give your customers the ability to redefine and modify the database schema as long as you are creating a product that is adding value on top of timescale. Is any of this 100% clear? Not any more that legalese generally is, and of course probably wise to talk to a lawyer if you’re concerned about it. Timescale has made their intent with the license clear in the past with blog posts and such though.
So far we've focused 100% on the creation side of things, but we're absolutely interested in helping people on the marketing side too.

Something we've discussed here is; since it's an online platform, could it be possible for creators to form communities around their games as they are being built (even more than now), with perhaps features to engage your community around what you create (imagine that your players can comment on things in the game as they play test it, for instance). This is quite speculative for now, but it's something we're interested in exploring.
No?

Genkit appears to be an open source framework. It can connect to various LLM backends. This appears to be a plugin for connecting via that framework to a local Ollama instance. Nowhere is there a suggestion that they're providing managed Ollama VMs.
Well, the conclusion of this study appears to be that it doesn't. Or rather, if I'm reading this right, they're saying the increase in deaths due to skin cancer is just a statistical artifact: more women in the sun exposure group died of skin cancer, not necessarily because the sun caused the skin cancer, but because the women who stayed indoors died of cardiovascular disease instead.

My favorite quip regarding this statistical effect is the observation that the cyanide diet is very effective at reducing deaths due to cardiovascular disease (cyanide kills you much faster, so winds up hogging all the credit).

To avoid the mistake, insist on seeing all cause mortality numbers.
The real danger is criminal profiling. Read a book on criminal profiling as done by the FBI. You hear things like "the suspect appeared nervous when his eyes saw the murder weapon" or "serial killers match two of three: cruelty to animals, obsession with fire-setting, and persistent bedwetting past the age of five" (aka Macdonald triad). Impulsive killers are in their teens or early 20s, while more careful killers will be at least in their 30s.

I'm sure the motives were good - sometimes it's like finding a needle in a haystack, and it saved lives back then.

But you have mass surveillance, you can go through every hay in the haystack. Yet likely they won't. They'll settle on a middle ground with these outdated methodologies, and combine it with AI/data, to create some form of data-driven astrology. Someone will be inspired by CSI to ask AI to blow up a blurry photo, and AI might just hallucinate it. There will be experts out there who would oppose this, and these could be shut down by their bosses, the politicians who don't understand how it all works.

The Macdonald triad detects the worst criminals, sure, but it mainly detects victims of abuse. Privacy isn't important to the privileged groups; but it's a level of protection for the innocents who could be profiled wrongly.
The chance of an airplane hitting major turbulence unexpectedly, while pretty small, are much higher than the chance of some random debris falling from a building while you are passing by. Ultimately it's all weighing the inconvenience against the possible safety improvement: when you are sitting in your seat in a plane, the seatbelt is a very minor inconvenience. Wearing a helmet all the time is a much bigger inconvenience, with a much smaller benefit.
Radar, planning software and routing have all gotten much, much better in the last decade.

I believe even as late as 2007 or 2008, ATC was limited in the deviations it could do due to the track system still in use in certain areas. Once the ARTCC/TRACONs were updated, ATC in the US now has way more capability and capacity to re-route traffic around storms. I forget when the last ARTCC refresh/rebuild happened.

Any lines being worked on will be shorted (ie. all conductors joined together and to ground).

As long as that is always done, islanding doesn't present any human safety concerns.

That is normally done anyway, because plenty of utility breakers will automatically try to reconnect every few minutes (allowing some grid scale failures to repair themselves with no human involvement).
It’s a cost-benefit relationship. Since wearing a seatbelt is such a minor inconvenience (you’re already sitting in that seat), it’s an obvious thing to do even though the risk is exceedingly rare.

In a hypothetical case where a seatbelt cost an extra $100 to use, then the cost would probably not be worth the benefit.
Use a seatbelt most of the time in a plane is his suggestion, which really isn't hidden. I for one take the suggestion and will do so, because there is no inconvience, but the OP clearly stated that you're supposed make your own decisions.

Are they just a self-perpetuating reputation scam, or do they actually lead to real economic activity and growth? It can be both, but it can't be entirely the former if you think the startup edge is due to the universities.

I didn't see the list of notable startups. There's a section about "noteworthy growth and decline" but it's not got a list. For the other lists it's not clear how they're ordered.

> It's questionable whether the "startup hub seed" would have germinated had the UK not been in the EU

So why didn't it germinate everywhere else in the EU to the same extent?

This seems like wishful thinking. The startup capital of the world is the USA, notably not in the EU. The EU has done many things that are clearly startup and tech-hostile, but it's hard to think of policies that help. The EU is structurally designed to make it easier for France to sell agricultural products and Germany to sell manufactured products, but one of the reasons the UK didn't benefit economically from membership is because the EU doesn't make it easier to sell services (and the UK not benefiting is under-reported but unambiguously the case, see the recent Parliamentary report on trade ratios post leaving [1]). Yet many tech startups are software-as-a-service, so lack of a single market for services really makes the EU irrelevant to the tech ecosystem.

> It's pretty clear that an island company faces more market hurdles than a continental one

It's not that clear. The British Empire was a global trade based empire long before the internet existed. It's only got easier since then.

AMOS was also my first programming language, which I started learning in 1994, having an Amiga 500. I have fond memories of it.
Horrible news.

Speaking of the physics involved, I was thinking: if it's just free fall, caused by gravity and no air sustaining the wings, this should not happen, right? Some random Quora answer says that it's because during turbulence there is actually air pressing wings down and accelerating them down faster than gravity, and that's why you hit the ceiling. Intuitively that makes sense but, can anyone confirm?

Edit: because if it was just free-falling you should be in a micro-gravity environment

Rightfully so. Wright has a grating personality, with an obnoxious air of superiority. He claims to have coded up bitcoin v0.1 while simultaneously being unable to explain to a judge what an unsigned integer is.

The trial was a complete win for COPA, who can use the litigation to prevent/win the multiple other cases Wright has started with developers and bitcoiners over the years, like McCormack, Hodlonaut, and others.
Very hard and foundational capability need not be correlated though. I think the more likely explanation that orbital refueling hasn't been done yet is not that's it's exceptionally hard, but that there hasn't been a need for it. Orbital refueling needs rapid reuse, and that has only been possible recently (with Falcon 9, and soon Starship).
Because there's millions of those tiny acts and I doubt you've read the risk analysis of each one to decide which fifty thousand to follow. But if you actually do consider them rationally and act on them then cool. Most people who say what you do however don't but rather act based on an irrational perception of risks usually due to things like media attention or misclassifying lack of control as risk.

I've met people who actually and rationally consider all the potential risks and I respect them. It's also an exhausting life to lead from my observation.

I recently flew ANA and they advise all passengers to keep their seatbelts on at all times when seated. It seems like simple advice. I do the same thing when I'm driving. I don't find it uncomfortable in the slightest, even sleeping. Maybe others have a different experience, but turbulence isn't that rare. I've had serious turbulence on many flights. Probably the worst was final approach / landing in Frankfurt with perfectly blue skies. The atmosphere does weird things.

3. Remove all social media applications

4. Don't store social media passwords in your keychain (can't be tempted to use the browser to hit the sites)

5. Use a strong password generator for your social media logins so it's impossible for you to remember them. Make sure each password is unique for each site so you definitely can't remember them.

You will have gone a long way to making your phone less distracting. When you need to get work done (assuming you're in an office environment), put your phone in a desk drawer. Research has shown the physical presence of the phone on your desk or in your pocket can be distracting. Hidden away in a drawer and it's not distracting.

And while you can't completely remove the Health, Find My, and Wallet applications, you can certainly make them practically inaccessible. You have a lot of controls available to make your phone less distracting.

There's an unstated assumption that some authors of blog posts have: if I make my post sufficiently complex, other humans will be compelled to link to my post and not rip it off by just paraphrasing it or duplicating it when somebody has a question my post can answer.

Now with AIs this assumption no longer holds and people are miffed that their work won't lead to engagement with their material, and the followers, stars, acknowledgement, validation, etc. that comes with that?

Either that or a fundamental misunderstanding of natural vs. legal rights.
There is no such thing as turbulence detection. And I haven’t heard of automatic avoidance in any airplane I know about. (Unless you’re referring to something like the F-16 ground avoidance system.)

There is “wind shear detection” but that relies on the planes weather radar detecting moving columns of water droplets.
> I'm simply stating the facts of history, which your primary criticism of seems to be that they're too realistic.

No, my criticism is that you are making the category mistake of confusing history with philosophy of law.

Nobody disputes the historical fact that international law has never seen any more than selective enforcement.

The dispute is about what relevance that historical fact has for the ontological status of international law qua law. That's a philosophy of law question, not a history question.

You are also ignoring the historical fact that the vast majority of states prefer to claim compliance with international law (however dubiously) rather than openly defy it. If other states accuse them of violating international law, the standard diplomatic response is to dispute the contents of the law or its application to the facts at hand, not to reject the whole concept of international law. Your nihilism about international law ignores the real historical fact that states at least pretend to believe in it – and a lot of the people who make those decisions on behalf of states (diplomats, bureaucrats, politicians, etc) aren't just pretending to believe in it, they really actually do. This is a real historical and contemporary phenomenon your theory can't explain.

> I could issue an arrest warrant for Netanyahu, and hold a trial for him myself.

There is an obvious difference – nobody with any real world power would accept what you did as legitimate. Whereas, if the ICC issues an arrest warrant for Netanyahu, many people around the world with real power (government officials, judges, diplomats, international bureaucrats, etc) will officially consider that a legitimate act. Now, of course, despite the fact these people do have some real world power, it is unlikely to be enough in practice to actually bring about Netanyahu's arrest. But still, that's a very different situation from your hypothetical of an act which nobody with any significant real world power would accept as legitimate.

And, an ICC arrest warrant is likely to have some real world consequences for Netanyahu – it will likely reduce somewhat his ability to travel internationally; it is also likely to harm Israel diplomatically and politically (e.g. it could well make an easier job for people lobbying for various governments to recognise the State of Palestine); conversely, it is likely also going to help Netanyahu in Israel's domestic politics; whereas, your warrant/trial would have zero real world consequences for him or for his government or country.

Film has had a big resurgence since 2020. Just ask your local photo lab - yes, there's probably one still hanging around. Just one, though. And yes, they probably still develop color negative film in house. They'll even digitize it for you, as long as you bring a flash drive!

I'm part of the trend - I have a couple Minolta SLRs, 8(?) lenses, a couple point-and-shoots, and even a medium-format camera. There's a Yashica Electro 35 sitting in my lap as I type this.

If you want to play around with film, do the planet a favor and dig up your (or your parents') old 35mm camera instead of buying disposables. It's better off used than collecting dust in a basement. That's just my two cents, though.
Well, and in fact, helmet wearing at least in the US has become normalized in situations where no one other than competing athletes wore helmets for things like skiing or casual biking a few decades ago.

"They're built on theft."

The "Big Tech" companies trying to compete with OpenAI were built on theft, too.

They do not produce content. They collect data about people and usurp others' content for advertising purposes. This comes at the cost of privacy, "data breaches", teen mental health, journalism, perhaps even civil, democratic society, to name just a few sacrifices.

OpenAI is pushing those companies to be as bad as they can be. As we are seeing, they have no problem going there. It is "in their DNA". Always has been.

This forced showing of "true colors" is the effect of a potential competitor that cannot be merged and acquired.

People from all walks of life are noticing. It's a great time.
Of course people on HN are going to defend Sam, why wouldn't they? He has promised us all salvation through AI revolution: The one where finally mankind is saved through technology, hunger is no more and diseases have been cured thanks to ChatGPT; We will have AGI and rogue Terminators are capable of roaming free in the wild.

Altman is a master magician, he has even convinced the Vatican to write a document regarding the dangers of AI; in his path to reach bigger piles mountains of cash, he has thrown out all sense of ethics and integrity.

He has replaced entire board, solidified his position as the CEO, is actively attempting to silence any possible whistle blower or negative feedback internally through legal agreements, attempted regulatory capture to stop opposition, stolen other people's content to train his chat bot and of course now yet another scam, passing on someone else's voice as Scarlet.

It won't end here, he will keep on going and his followers will defend him, because they are truly convinced the man is a revolutionary.

I for one, fear for a world where openAI (open in lowercase is intentional) dominates with Sam at the helm.
You ask ChatGPT for example this:

show me config for Bareos server with bareos-dir and bareos-fd roles on FreeBSD system and bareos-sd on Linux (as this will be needed to use storage backend to put/get backups from S3 buckets)

... and after it replies you tailor the answer to your needs like:

- show me exact configs for everything

- we will use latest FreeBSD 14-STABLE with PkgBase instead

- we will use free and open source Bareos repo instead of paid one

Etc. Just one of thousands examples.
