FWIW, I have both a Wacom and a Surface Pro on-hand right now. The Wacom tablet is great (unbeaten latency-wise) but the Surface Pro has an equally nice digitizer and a perfectly usable screen. I took notes on it for a few years before moving to markdown and typing everything.

The point I'm trying to make is that this artificial product category distinction people want to illustrate doesn't exist. Both of these hardware platforms can do both tasks equally well; all Apple has to do is provide both and let their customers decide for themselves. As time goes on, it feels increasingly easy to reverse-engineer Apple's design philosophy:

- Identify a problem (I need to install apps; I need a heartrate monitor; I want to draw on my Mac)

- Design a best-path solution (What if there was an app for that? What if all your vitals were monitored? What if drawing was tactile?)

- Take that solution and engineer it into an expensive auxiliary product (App Store/Developer Program; Apple Watch; Apple Pencil/iPad)

- Deny competitors market access specifically so they can't fix self-imposed limitations (Still Apple refuses to sign benign apps; Apple Health is all-or-nothing without Apple Watch, competitors are scary and can't be trusted; touchscreen Macs are "impossible" and Apple Pencil can only be made by licensing our tech)

Maybe I'm being too creative and optimistic, but are there not thousands of people on this site that would readily give up their Mac for an iPad with decent Linux support? The only person stopping people from having their cake and eating it too is Apple. And you know it's not because the iPad is in some way different from the Macbook and shouldn't have an open bootloader. It's because that would stop people from buying Macs. For the love of God, I hate Steve Jobs like the devil but I would probably go get a used iPad Pro if Apple announced they were publishing Linux drivers for it.
I would be happy if more people adopted password managers. We'd all be a lot better off if they did. And personally I don't care which tool they use to get there. But there's still too much friction in using a password manager, not all of which is the fault of the password manager (eg different password requirements, how 2FA verification is handled, the antiquated notion of password expiry, some sites split username and password onto two pages so you have to verify twice, some sites using a third field you have to fill in like surname).

So I'm not sure how many people will actually use this just because of this friction.

Branding a solution as Apple isn't a guarantee of success. If it were, we'd still have Safari for Windows.
Not that you shouldn't do it, but too much of an active effort or obsession with not using standard e-mail services or photo back ups is probably a faster way to get flagged as suspicious lol
As someone mentioned above (haha) I expect a full penrose tiling in Civ VIII. This one is probably lousy hexagons :(

I heard that Gandhi is enriching uranium again, so I’ll still play.

It's frustrating at best. On any tiling WM on Linux, I can hit Meta+<#> and be taken to that workspace.

On macOS, the moment I fullscreen an app, it's taken out of that flow. So for so many years, I've had my terminal full screen on workspace 2. Meta+2 it in my muscle memory for "go to terminal".
Feels like Apple are super late to the party and are scrambling. And it showed.

I'm not GP, but tab splitting and tmux Control Codes integration are 2 of my main productivity features in any software.

I haven't found any other terminal emulator that has them. On Linux, Konsole has decent splitting but no `tmux -CC`.
That's more nullipotency
I don't like that I can't connect to a RHEL 8 machine (that doesn't have a subscription enabled yet) without buying the Pro version of XPipe ($50). Definitely not in the open-source mindset.

The article extensively details how insecticide companies, and neonic producers in particular, have a huge role in the organization leadership, funding, and its conferences. It quotes people who describe how industry infiltrates professional and academic organizations and influence.

At that "halfway" mark, the author describes employees of these companies gish-galloping conference presenters.

Then the author describes a couple of scientists in the ESA describing how neonic research isn't selected because it doesn't "add anything new." except the author then shows that neonic research and citations are both growing - the complete opposite of what several ESA people said.

These insecticide companies are getting to keep their cake (aggressively challenging neonic research as poorly supported) and eat it too (suppress representation of neonic research at their conferences because "it doesn't add anything new" and "is settled science.")
RCS is out-of-the box an unencrypted messaging protocol.

The EU forcing Apple to adopt a cleartext protocol like RCS is deeply suspicious. Interoperability will force disclosure of message contents to the state and carrier.

(unless your phone vendor has implemented encryption in their implementation. Ie: optimistic encryption aka can’t trust if
it is truly working)

Use encrypted messaging protocols — iMessage, signal, WhatsApp…

- 1Password used to support Dropbox syncing without a subscription. They allowed you to keep using the app, but they removed support for auto-filling logins from dropbox in Safari or Firefox. You could only auto-fill from vaults that you paid monthly for. Whatever, they win, I started paying monthly.

- They broke search in the past few months. I have multiple accounts with the same service (i.e. google, mercury) for personal and business. Now when searching it displays gibberish like 2FA backup codes from the notes instead of just having `${title} - ${username}` like it had for years

- They completely changed the left bar and moved around the entire UI multiple times. Credit cards used to be a simple click on the left side. Now I have to click "All Items" on the left side, then find the dropdown for "All Categories", click it, scroll down to Credit Cards and click on that.

It really comes down to the fact that it's a password manager. All it has to do is store passwords and fill them in when I need to sign in somewhere. Why has the UI fundamentally changed multiple times over the years throwing away all learned user behavior.

EDIT: There's also just the intangibles. I can't always remember specifics, but I "Feel" like 1password has been fighting me for years. I don't feel that way about many other pieces of software I use. 1Password just feels hostile in how they change/update things.
right, you're agreeing with GP
It was talked about in the Platform keynote (not the main keynote) - they're doing a lot of crossplatform work, off the top of my head:

* Enhancement of VSCode support (and any editor that integrates LSP)

* Increasing supported linux and windows platforms

* Increasing support for constrained environments (embeded? dunno)

* Continued support of community products like Vapor (web framework)
Thank you for the insightful answer! That's nice to know. I hadn't considered that they had a system like that in place.

Well, so far we have proof of unsustainability: we've already raised the extinction rate of species hundreds of times the background rate. So, already unsustainable.
In the same way I don't trust Google not to cancel whatever it is they just announced, I don't trust apple to keep supporting software on platforms that aren't theirs. They just don't have a good track record and no real incentives. The last widespread Apple sosftware on non-Apple platforms was probably iTunes, which was terrible.
They can’t even get marketing on the same page, such that they counter-productively confuse the hell out of their customers who might be considering giving them more money.

Quick, what’s “copilot”?
That's really cool - never heard of Beme. I wonder how it would work today.

1. Record a video (ask a question, give a life update etc).
2. Users could respond back with videos

This is a false equivocation, blocking ads doesn't mean nobody will be supporting them. Anyway watching ads enriches Google far more than the creators. You can block all ads indiscriminately and send money directly to the creators you care about.

I have a faint to noticable but persistent back pain. It should be checked out but I do not want to cause bigger pain and mental strain than caused by the back pain by talking to 3-4 persons sending me around and putting me in phone queues weeks apart just to see a doctor sometime in the future - with my embarrassingly low priority issue - making mountains of paperworks bored having too little time to diagnose me (that have the risk of leading to even bigger pile of paperwork). It's a different country, life is all the same.
Great app! We were playing with the two little ones though we needed more time. I saw a comment in the thread with a combo of zen mode, lives (eg mistakes) and maybe a level up mechanism?

Nor probably a requirement that you be 12 or older to have an account!

An email account! It makes sense for YouTube maybe, and I suppose the problem is it's all intertwined? But then there's Android too - is it really expected that if you're a (say) 10 year old whose parents think is old enough to have a phone (let's not debate that here) is it really expected that you skip the set up with Google account flow on Android first boot? Because it's very clearly not the preferred path; one they don't really want you to take.

Seems like 'underage' accounts should just have restricted access, i.e. none to whatever it is (like YouTube) that's the problem, I can't believe it's email.
I mean what do you make of the threats towards researchers? Surely that has limited the amount of scientific evidence published against the safety of Bayer's products, no?

It's also a damning piece of evidence in and of itself, at least stochastically speaking.
> All in all, this is not science

It's not trying to be. The intended audience is not peers reading a research journal, it's normal folks and policy makers who don't know what a confounding variable is but still want to make modern life suck less.
I love reading through old newspapers and magazines.

Even the ads! There's just something very VERY different about the ads in old print. The design and the prices are interesting to check out.
I was with you until your last sentence. By all accounts Cook was one of the world's most effective managers of production and logistics -- a rare talent. He famously streamlined Apple's stock-keeping practices when he was a new hire at Apple. How much he exercises that talent in his day-to-day as CEO is not perfectly clear; it may perhaps have atrophied.

In any case, "dime a dozen" doesn't do him justice -- he was very accomplished, in ways you can't fake, before becoming CEO.
Nobody with public knowledge can either say yes or no.

If anyone tells you either yes or no, ask them to show you their financial positions. If they have none, their opinion is pointless.
it's a bit slow with all the animation... but nice idea
>Various Gundam series take place across different universes, there is no reason a series based on "the world is ending" can't do the same thing - share thematic elements across different sets of characters.

NGE has done that plenty. The early works, dating sim games, plastic models, fan fiction, manga, etc have all had 'alternate universe' entries -- which suits the series just fine since that concept is explored even in the original series via Shinji's 'instrumentality scenes'.
It’s a little messy.

Local LLMs + Apple Private Cloud LLMs + OpenAI LLMs. It’s like they can’t decide on one solution. Feels very not Apple.
Yes! You know, I was considering this the previous couple of days, was looking around on how to construct a `mhtml` file for serving all the files at the same time. Unrelated to this project, I had the use case of a client wanting to keep an offline version of one of my projects.

> Although UNIX philosophy posits that it's good to have many small files, I like your idea for its contribution to reduceing clutter (imagine running 'tree' in both scenarios) and also avoiding running out of inodes in some file systems (maybe less of a problem nowadays in general, not sure as I haven't generated millions of tiny files recently).

Pretty rare for any website to have many files, as they optimize to have as few files as possible(less network requests, which could be slower than just shipping a big file). I have crawled react docs as a test, and it's a zip file of 147mb with 3.803 files (including external resources).

https://docs.solidjs.com/ is 12mb (including external resources) with 646 files
False. I've been using iSH before it became available on the App Store. Downloading and executing arbitrary binaries is always possible. Just go install iSH and run any command-line binary to see for yourself.

The reason it's considered a toy is because of the sheer number of bugs in its Linux syscall simulation layer as well as in its implementation of Forth-style threaded code, not because of a package manager. After all its GitHub page says "This code is known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and reproductive harm."
OT, but: I really don't understand why Death Note is so popular. It was an above average first season that went downhill super fast. I gave up on it the first episode after the recap episode (26 if Wikipedia is right), and nothing in my conversations with other people have led me to believe the last dozen or so episodes would change my opinion on it.
They literally announced their partnership with OpenAI today, and I've seen no sign of this data being "publicly auditable" - can you share this with me?
I see the goal as a setup to pit LLM providers against each other to pay 10B a year to be the 2nd tap default.

Spaces sound somewhat similar to "panels" in Sidebery for Firefox, they can be used to split workspaces, e.g. for different projects/clients. You can make each panel use a different container, which is helpful to be logged in with different users on the same websites. You can also "unload" panels easily to save RAM and to ignore them until the next time you work on them.

Given that all relevant browsers on macOS either bring their own WebKit build or run another engine, system-WebKit only would be close to false advertising, so I really hope it's not.

I'm really looking forward to this – big fan of Apple Pay, but I'm not switching to Safari and rebuilding my shopping cart for non-logged-in purchases, and that's where it's arguably most useful.

Google was cool, once upon a time, but they always used your personal info pretty openly. The CEO a himself famously said, “The Google policy on a lot of things is to get right up to the creepy line and not cross it.”

Apple has taken a markedly different approach, and has done so for years - E2E encryption, hashing and segmenting routes on maps, Secure Enclave, etc.

While I think it’s perfectly reasonable to “trust no one”, and I fully agree that there may be things we don’t know, I don’t think there it’s reasonable to put Apple on the same (exceedingly low) level as Google.

I'm with you here. As a proud owner of an iPhone 13 Mini, I refuse to switch to anything bigger than that, but I do concede that any moderately useful AI pipeline will require more power than my aging phone is capable to provide.

Pesticides are a factor in insect loss, but they are VERY far from the major cause of lost biodiversity in general. The major causes are overwhelmingly environmental destruction (e.g., the clearcutting of virtually all old growth forests) and the introduction of invasive species and diseases.
You could say the same thing for sending a Happy Birthday text, versus a hand written letter or card. Nothing is stopping a person from sending the latter today, and yes they are more appreciated, but people also appreciate the text.

The paper notes: "Thus, an annual conference called 'Computers and Their Applications' was organized. It is interesting to note that the third edition of that conference, held in 1961, featured lectures by professors John McCarthy, Marvin L. Minsky6, and Harold V. McIntosh [9]." That conference was also known as the First International LISP Conference -- see https://mcjones.org/dustydecks/the-first-international-lisp-...
Well, that's fairly self evident. It's not like we are auditing thousands of lines of code: ssh.Dial("tcp", serverName, config)

the tricky part , really , is the syntax for ssh config but again that's easy to understand even if it's very hard to write.
Yes I was being satirical. I've argued for a while now that if we run an llm through a proof engine, we can get rid of hallucinations. In the worst case we'll fail to find a proof. In effect that is gives us an LM that can honestly tell us when it "doesn't know" an answer - at least in this very strictly defined formal context.

But there is a whole cadre of Yann-pilled LLM truthers who cite Yann LeCunn's handwaved proof that LLMs must hallucinate. And they do it incessantly.

Some that I've talked to have gone so far as to assert, with no proof, that an LLM system will hallucinate no matter how many bells and whistles you add to an llm or its architecture. I'm afraid I was taking out my frustration.

But I hope it also challenges some truthers!

This paper is a clear counterexample of a system that will either output nothing (failing after that maximum number of tries) or output a correct proof.

(Ps. I think that it won't matter to most truthers. First if you're an llm truther, you probably don't know or care about proof engines, and might even dispute that proofs represent truth. Second, truthers seem motivated at all costs to deny any possible encroachment of AI on two human mind territory. So even if llms stop hallucinating, they'll move the goal post and find another rallying call.)
Do you only keep online passwords in your manager? I've got all sorts of things in mine, plenty that I might need without connectivity, such as the door code to that AirBnB or bank account numbers and PINs. Then again, I never would have done that without offline availability...
Apple have a long antagonist relationship with NVIDIA. If anything it is holding Apple back because they don’t want to go cap in hand to NVIDIA and say “please sir, can I have some more”.

We see this play out with the ChatGPT integration. Rather than hosting GPT-4o themselves, OpenAI are. Apple is providing NVIDIA powered AI models through a third party, somewhat undermining the privacy first argument.
Working freelance in web development is the opposite of job security, so I can understand why you feel concern about the impact of AI on your industry.

However, reading this, I do not get the impression that your background gives any kind of unique insight others have missed, more that you’ve just read a lot of opinions online.

Online isn't reality. Online, people don't talk about corporate politics and inertia and the million tiny factors that determine which jobs get "replaced" and which don't. I use quotation marks because most people mid-career or higher can see changes coming and either shift out into another role or go into management or solution architect roles where there is a need for human oversight (and tend to be roles that offer more money).

AI is an existential risk only if you choose to do the same job forever.

And then print another batch and put them in a nice album and lock it in storage. Kids aged 1-4 will start literally eating the photos if you leave them alone with the album for more than a minute.
