I have been a global tech journalist and I have been covering Apple for 20 years, give or take. Just not in English, which I guess is my shortcoming…
I stopped counting the time that major publications would run Apple hit pieces like this based on speculation and “sources” that are subsequently disproven by how Apple does what it does, successfully, since the late nineties.

It’s not about defending Apple, it’s about fair journalism. This headline is a journalistic fallacy, as anybody who is actually an expert about the company would understand that determining where Apple stands in a software development cycle is simply impossible.

Maybe the Wsj is right this time after being wrong n times before, but I wouldn’t bet on that as much as I would bet that Apple has been working steadily and secretly at its own vertically integrated solution instead of flashing whatever AI research they had like all competitors. Which is exactly how Apple works, in case one is willing to stop and observe and report, instead of running sensationalist headlines to leech views right before a hyped event like wwdc.
Same here, everything just worked on their arm.

Why don't we just wait until next week to make this call eh?
Having done some nontrivial Bazel/Starlark hacking, I completely agree that lightweight static types would be a good usability improvement. But I want to point out that Starlark is actually not Turing complete, which is imo one of the more interesting characteristics it has. Recursion is forbidden (https://github.com/bazelbuild/starlark/blob/master/spec.md#f...) and loops must be structural; there is no while loop or other unbounded iteration construct. Starlark is one of the more capable and mainstream non-Turing-complete languages out there, and doesn't resemble the other common ones which mostly show up in theorem provers. On the one hand I think the logic in a build system that needs to reason about incremental builds absolutely should be guaranteed to terminate, but in some particularly painful situations I've had to resort to iteration over smart-contract-style "gas" parameters.

EDIT: as a parting shot, dhall is another non-Turing-complete language in common usage, but its claim to fame is that it gets used in places that arguably shouldn't be doing any computation at all.
Generally yes. You're talking about "derivative works."
I wonder if there’s an on device AI equivalent of PA semi (the company Apple acquired over a decade ago which gave them incredible ARM chip design capabilities in house).

Because that’s where they could leapfrog the others. They care enough to do things on device (even if it’s inferior)
>The only green future is one with “expensive” energy

A world of expensive energy is a dystopia.
There isn't realistic sandboxing you can do with shared-kernel multitenant general-workload runtimes. You can do shared-kernel with a language runtime, like V8 isolates. You can do it with WASM. But you can't do native binary Unix execution and count on sandboxing to fix the security issues, because there's a track record of local LPEs in benign system calls.
WebGPU (or Metal if you're in Apple land) still has a much gentler learning curve. The simplifications to Vulkan weren't really aimed at making it easier to use, just streamlining parts of the API which turned out to be needlessly complex, so the parts that are complex for a reason are still just as complex.

That sounded interesting. Then I read the article only to find a very, very loose definition of "embedded".
I sincerely hope that Apple don't pull a Recall move, because at that moment I'll be forced to migrate off the ecosystem (maybe I'll install Asahi Linux on my M-series machine).

So thank you, Apple, for not running in this arm race. Not every race is worth participating.
(I figured "Landing" implied "dry land". Or at least a dry barge deck. Beyond the obviously-greater precision needed - a soft & dry landing is paradise for post-flight engineering analysis.)
That theory is the "bicameral mind"; I think it's even discussed elsewhere in this thread.
That was it, thanks for the reminder!
I even could make a Quarkus native build with graalvm on the machine.
Occupation of bank-owned homes also causes a lot of trouble. I hope you never have to experience living next to squatters, as among other things, you might end up paying for their exaggeratedly high utilities.
Beef-only is the ultimate elimination diet. You literally eliminate absolutely everything except beef.

And beef contains 100% of the nutrients you need in order to thrive in life.

There are people who have literally eaten nothing but ribeye steaks for over ten years now.

Also, consider the fact that agriculture is only about 12,000 years old, but human beings have been living on Earth for about 200,000 years (in our current form -- a couple million if you include Homo Erectus and the other variations). We were basically 99% meat-eaters for the vast vast majority of human history.

I follow a diet that is basically 100% beef, eggs, salmon, and milk (planning to cut out the milk) and I can assure you that it is the easiest possible diet for your digestive system. (For one thing, you completely stop farting.). You have never known poops so small, easy, and quick (because 99% of what you eat is simply absorbed - this diet has no fiber).

Note that there is no truly satisfactory "literature" on ANY diet, because double-blind randomized controlled trials that are of a long enough duration and over a large enough sample size are basically impossible to conduct. The human body is the most complex thing that we know of in the universe.

However, you can follow the work of Dr. Ken Berry or Dr. Shawn Baker to learn more about the carnivore diet -- they've been neck deep in it for years. And the anecdotal evidence is becoming overwhelming -- check ou the success stories at the carnivore.diet website.
It will make space tourism viable for people who aren't super wealthy, an influencer or both.
Only one of the SpaceX Falcon 9 boosters stayed afloat after a gentle touchdown (they weren't quite sure what to do with it, with a persistent rumor the Air Force used it for target practice); there's usually enough propellant left to make it kaboom when it tips into the water. I'd also imagine they didn't put a boat close to the landing target this time around for safety reasons.

I'm hoping they had a reconnaisance aircraft out there, though.
He has money, so he bought it. Free market, capitalism etc etc, I get that part.

That said, why does one man need 140 sq miles of land? Unless it is being used for agriculture or some other net benefit to society, doesn’t this sound grotesque?

Ask HN: How do you prompt AI to summarise a book effectively?
When you feed an entire book to an LLM (Claude specifically), what prompts are most effective at getting it to do a good and insightful summary?

I want it to read the book and report, not rehash a goodreads/wikipedia entry on the same. Since things like Claude and Gemini have large token limits, it feels like an opportunity to get them to do some reading for me.

"Summarise this book" doesn't yield results with depth and the answers can feel as good as the usual Google/Goodreads snippet.
Well as someone else mentioned, do you want your devices to have no address when your internet connection goes down? A global IP is also a compromise unless you have your own ASN.

> don’t pretend it wouldn’t be massively beneficial

It would be barely beneficial to me.

I don't want to memorize my global prefix anyway.
I was hoping this was going to be an FM/AM radio in iPads and iPhones.

I wish all phones and tablets had an FM/AM tuner to play over the air content without an internet or cell connection.
I'm sort of surprised nobody has mentioned this. The ice is all gone at this altitude, and nothing seems to have started falling apart yet.

Those might be satellites reflecting the light from the engines.
The article mentions Spring, although I couldn't see anything in the output that would tip me off (like massive java.lang.xxxException traces) ... plus I've seen other mentions of singletons in this discussion --

Are you describing some kind of server-side global object that statefully says a session/api key is "authenticated" and will then allow the request during that time frame? That seems like a bug you could drive container ships through. Yes I know saas s/w sucks out there but this would seem to at least be something an audit could easily flag.
Sounds like something the EU could regulate?
> Apple Fell Behind in the AI Arms Race

It's a common figure of speech but still interesting WSJ framing the
headline. Apple is not a defence company. I guess we don't have "tool
races" or a "utility race". Not even just an "AI race". No, this
technology is definitely a weapon. Am I wrong?
Releasing Maps hastily I think was forced on them? Something about Google’s new terms during a contract renewal?
The shelve module is nice. Sqlite is nice. Having both of them combined and cross-platform will be brilliant.
It is not fully reusable. But partial reentry is reentry, something no other rocket had been able to do.
I really do hate this framing. It's not an "arms race". LLMs are just another tool in the tech stack.

A new important one, but without the ability to reduce hallucinations or trace why the LLM chose the approach, the ascendancy of AI is a bit premature to judge.
This branch of the thread is about Starship, which landed intact in the Indian Ocean afaik.
That's really well done! I have no comment on the accuracy but it really highlights just how the Romans integrated new areas into the central empire through transportation (goods, ideas, and armies).

I will also call out the road in Africa called "Caeserea lol"
How do you know? It's entirely feasible someone other than Elon Musk could have founded a similar company with similar goals, the same or equivalent competent staff, and had the same success. There is no unique magic sauce that Elon brings to the table here, other than money.
If the property tax goes up by 10x, then that 80 year old couple has seen a 10x return on their real estate investment. They can easily take out a reverse mortgage to pay the property tax for the rest of their lives.
A lot of Apple's AI tech is not public. It's things like computational photography/image enhancement, image organization, speech recognition - the sort of backend services that you need for modern flagship phones. You do bump into researchers at the big AI conferences but they're nowhere near as profilic as Google, Facebook and Amazon for open research. And Siri, of course.
I see a lot of people here justifying the occupation of bank-owned homes as if that is okay. I hope you never have to experience living next to squatters, as among other things, you might end up paying for their exaggeratedly high utilities.
Yes to both.

But we are nowhere near to even realistically plan on achieving something like that
I was thinking Knight Visions from Snow Crash! Need to integrate some other techs for the full experience.
This feed is watching someone watch it, which is kind of cool but not the direct feed.
I have family who let out property in Spain.

They, along with other people in a similar position to them, have all suddenly become experts in smart home tech.

They have video doorbells, motion sensors, door sensors, etc. All so that they can be alerted to any activity immediately, allowing them to act within the exceptionally short eviction window.

The reality on the ground is that these ridiculous policies are widely exploited.
I believe they said they would trigger the abort on splashdown.

I think there is a lot to unpack in your anecdote about the baker vis-a-vis happiness vs proliferation of depression in modern life.

If I had to summarize my own thoughts about it, it’s ownership, community/relationships, and hardships/challenges that can be overcome through hard work.

Modern technology counter intuitively gives us very little agency everything is owned by faceless/soulless corporations, technology “connects us” in unparalleled ways but also isolates us, and while life has and likely will always be hard for the majority there is a feeling of invisible prisons enabled through technology that no amount of hard work can overcome.
Apple is an excellent integrator and generally has good taste. Their list of in house developed technology is much shorter.
I'm DONE! This doesn't need to exist! Can everyone stop this madness?
I think vulkan is great, but its only purpose is to take full advantage of advanced GPU features. It also leads to better performance when using advanced GPU features compared to OpenGL.

Generally, I feel OpenGL is the recommended route if you don't really aim for advanced rendering techniques.

There are plenty 2D /lowpoly/ps1-graphics games right now, and those don't need to use vulkan.

Vulkan is an example of how the AAA gaming industry is skewed towards rendering quality and appearance. AAA game studios justify their budget with those very advanced engines and content, but there is a growing market of 2D/low poly game, because players are tired and realized they want gameplay, not graphics.

Also if you are a game developer, you don't want to focus on rendering quality, you want to focus on gameplay and features.
While I agree with what a lot of what you said, there is a lot of survivorship bias in a single anecedote. My Grandma also has a very similar story, born in 1920s, fled from the Russians, no depression. But there is family from the same time period that committed suicide. Then for every one suicide there were 10 people that lived out of the bottle. So even though no one talked about depression it was there.
I don’t recall encountering the latest usage until the mid-2010s.
Who says they don't?

Edit: never mind, just noticed it.
Ask HN: Is there a good place to get recommended privacy settings for apps?
I really like the website https://tosdr.org to find out a privacy grade for sites and apps. Is there anything similar that tells you how to change settings for these various services to improve privacy but minimally limit functionality, or at least tells you what functionality will be limited with the setup?

Who argues against users taking responsibility? The users who demand exfiltration protection around the Recall DB? Or the commenters who maintain that extra protections are pointless?
Starship might honestly have a similar payload issue with the weird door design, the way it hinges up means you need a more complex release plan than most which just pop straight off the front of the booster.

During the third test flight they also tested their weird side eject design for Starlink (or other flat pack style satellites) and the video looks like the door completely ripped itself apart.
But it's not evidence of anything other than than a company has valued that potential employee at a particular rate. What an employee is worth to an employer is pretty subjective. Someone that is worth 7 figures to one company may only be worth 6 or 5 to another.

Having an offer in hand is valuable to the employee, certainly! There's nothing wrong with getting an offer, then asking your current employer for a raise that would meet or exceed that offer. The issue I have is actually communicating that offer to the current employer.

Now, don't get me wrong -- I'd certainly never punish or fire anyone who did that. I'm just not going to give in to what I perceive as extortion, and what I perceive as being unfair to the employer who made the offer.
If you're using JS, it's a one click deploy to Vercel Functions https://vercel.com/docs/functions

Caveat: I don't know all of Serverless's features. Our last company used them as a legacy service but new stuff was just written in JS and put on Vercel alongside the frontend. For simple edge functions, it was a lot easier to manage (or really not manage, just write it and git push and you're done)
>But I don't think Americans are uniquely self-indulgent compared to every other first world country

You haven't spent a lot of time in other 'first-world' countries. A lot of what passes for food here in America would be regarded with outright horror in most of Europe. Their food regulatory agencies simply have a much stricter standard for what can be placed on shelves. Here in America it seems like it takes just a couple dubious studies often funded by the food manufacturers to get something labelled food grade. Pick up say a chicken pot pie next time you go to the grocery store and take a look at the ingredients list and if next you have the opportunity to go to somewhere in Europe do the same. Another big difference is that the (vast) majority of Americans must have food be sweet otherwise it is unpalatable. This is why virtually everything has sugar in it. Many Europeans I know are simply shocked at how hard it is to find bread, of all things that doesn't have sugar in it. If you compare the menu from the same fast food brands like say KFC in say Tokyo and NewYork, the Tokyo version is going to be less salty, less sweet and will have fewer artificial ingredients because the average Japanese eater doesn't put sweetness above everything else and probably has a different idea of 'tastiness'

As for your claim that obesity is more of a lower class thing, I'm not sure what America you're living in. Obesity in the US knows no class, even if the rates are slightly higher for the working class it is still a problem across all social classes. And I'm not sure what that has to do with the point that people who sell crap or do crappy things are not judged by what they sell but how much they make, which is a bug or feature of capitalism in general but especially American capitalism.

Huh?

SQLite is such a great project. Thanks Richard Hipp.

Cool to see it supported ootb as a dbm backend.
I've always enjoyed the M Series by Unicomp. It's the original tech from 1986. Perfect for this touch typist.
The emphasis on "third-world" discounts how much of work is "translation"

And a great translation is dependant to some degree on a shared

- Language (Clear communication)

- Culture (Shared Ideas, Processes and Cohesive Habits)

- Timezone (Speed of iteration)

So as long as:

- Capital remains concentrated in the USA

- Canada remains relatively wealthy (compared to third world countries)

- South/Central America keeps their wonderful culture and language strong and vibrant.

I do not see US salaries changing in a big way due to outsourcing

(across the board anyway, though AI is a threat to some for sure)
Same! My favorite so far is a function I wrote called git_pick_branch, which is very easy to throw into scripts where I want to interactively pick a branch, and fzf makes for the perfect search-and-pick interface.
I believe that is illegal in every country, putting human remains on foreign bodies.
Nah, "problematic" as used commonly today is, well, problematic:

Kind of like "woke" and some others, perhaps "toxic", it's used as a placeholder for a feeling/idea that the speaker believes to be commonplace, but is often VERY ill-defined, and thus ends up muddying the discussion and/or leaving things unsaid that do deserve more consideration.
In that vein, I highly recommend Katy Bowman's "Move Your DNA," and "Whole Body Barefoot." Bowman's biomechanical analysis of modern movement, furniture, and the built environment has changed the way I walk, sit, and carry things.
He’s 79 too. Still motivated it seems.
Eh, not so fast.

There are a lot of different parts involved—D/A converters, crossover networks, and amplifiers. Back in the day, good D/A converters were expensive, but they have gotten really cheap. If you have amplifiers that are cheap enough, you can put them after the crossover network and save money on the crossover network. If you have D/A converters that are cheap enough, you can eliminate the crossover network entirely and do it in DSP.

At that point you are comparing the cost of one more channel of D/A against the cost of an electronic crossover. It’s super easy to just buy a D/A with more channels. If you get to completely eliminate an analog crossover network, maybe that’s a win in terms of BOM cost.
The location of the 3 northernmost sites is on existing geographic features that predate Christianity so there was no choice of location for those. However the church may have noticed these three were in a straight line and extrapolated from there.
> smallish castle

This makes more sense, as castles tend to move in straight lines. As another comment mentions, if these were cathedrals that would mean a bishop in residence, and we all know bishops prefer to move diagonally.
They will be glad to cover it. Anything to drive up premiums.
They can hedge, (and probably are, now). When they hedge though,

1) They will drive up the price. Most of any given ADV is going to be algo-traded back and forth shares, so they will drive up the price more than you expect from the volumes

2) Those shares will get taken off the market, can't be lent out to shorts, can't be lent out to other market makers. This will constrain buy-side liquidity

3) The rising price will force a higher hedging requirement from shorts unrelated to Gills, and a higher hedging requirement to those who wrote the calls.

4) They will then go back to 1) and do it again.

It looks like someone tried to do the hedge you describe on 2mm shares on Monday Jun 3, that's when the price went from $22 to $40. Price went down to 26 over the the next couple of days, and Gills posted his holdings. We're up to low $30s today.

TLDR: Someone seems to have tried that, and found out there's a lot less liquidity than they wanted.
The current Hamas charter calls for a 2 state solution with the internationally recognized 1967 borders. But what's written and what leadership would accept might be two different things.
Yes, we are discussing a hypothetical, from a few parents up: "set a property tax that would hurt if the buildings became vacant"

The definition of vacant is something that would have to be figured out, but it's not impossible. For example, you could do a generous 6-12 months of the year occupation without taxation, and then a sliding scale from there. (So you pay 0% of the new tax at 12 months yearly occupation, 0% at 6 months, 50% at 3 months, and 100% at 0 months.)
It’s feasible - but nobody did, and nobody has.

I get the dislike - his politics are pretty reprehensible - but it’s hard to argue with the results his businesses generally achieve.

What he brings to the table apart from money is an absolutely bull-headed madcap drive to make the infeasible into reality in the face of a chorus of naysayers, and that, I respect.
