TripleByte worked amazingly well for me. I even use my TripleByte backpack every day on my way to work.

Back in 2018 I was a new grad in Pennsylvania trying to move to the Bay Area. Attempting the process of interviewing, scheduling everything so I can fly out and do on-sites, booking a hotel in a new city for the first time etc. would have been overwhelming. But the whole process was taken care of for me. I got 5 interviews scheduled across Monday through Friday. The hotel was paid for. Uber rides to and from offices were paid for. My flight was paid for. I ended the week with 2 offers. I got them to fight over me and then picked the job with the clearly superior work culture.

Since then I've worked at seed stage companies, Google, and moved around the bay a bit. It would have been possible without TripleByte, but the value prop as a candidate was tremendous. The employer I joined continued to use TripleByte, almost exclusively, until we got an in-house recruiter. Even then we still used it as a solid side channel. I think 3 or 4 of the engineers that joined were TripleByte candidates. They really were excellent at digging up people who wouldn't have seemed like the right pick just given a resume, but in fact were perfect fits once settled in.

The only problem, now that I've got some experience under my belt, is that my professional network makes something like TripleByte unnecessary (unless I move to a new area, in which case I could use help finding a good job). But once we're hiring some full stack web devs at work I'll take a serious look at OtherBranch.
Hopefully they have some toggle in settings for this.
Actually 15 Pro has the A17 “Pro” SoC, while the regular 15 uses the last gen A16 Bionic (Bionic being the regular version). We don’t know whether the next regular iPhone will get the last-gen A17 Pro (which would be a little confusing), or a “last-gen-but-new” A17 Bionic or if they’ll go with 18 Bionic + Pro.

How are you eating breakfast and dinner with your kids if you eat three meals a day at the office?
Sounds like a fun project to work on
"doubly disambiguated bishop capture checkmate"

It's a 30 minute video. If you care that much about the topic, enjoy. If you just wondered what the move was... you're welcome.
That's good to know.

But just because everyone is in the office, doesn't mean you will get help. In our industry, sadly, there are very few companies with good onboarding/mentoring programs. I have seen new bright engineers who think their task is the most important task at the company and they constantly disrupt others eventually get ignored by everyone. I have been there, I was one of them, luckily, I had good mentors who taught me how to work with others without being disruptive.
No one is allowed to access any of that data.

Microsoft is mostly a cloud company these days though, and they're already an Apple vendor.
I just checked it on my device in airplane mode: everything is available locally and new records can be added.
What do you mean saying you cannot store the data locally?
Will they be required to use Scrum and forced to use Jira?

You can only change your browser in the EU, since three months ago, because of their consumer protection laws.

In all other countries, the "browsers" on the App Store are only skins on top of a crippled version of Safari.
I believe this is in the same category as a car that will reliably fully self-drive.
"We make the hardware and we pinky promise that we will protect your data and will open source part of it" means nothing for privacy. Especially when things like warrants come into play.

The quest he mentions as inspiration - Tom Mahood's "The Hunt for the Death Valley Germans" - is a fascinating read and worth your time.

https://www.otherhand.org/home-page/search-and-rescue/the-hu...

I first read it seven years ago and similar to the author, it inspired me to join my local Search & Rescue team which has been incredibly rewarding. I highly recommend doing that to anyone who wants to combine a love of the outdoors, specialized skills, serving the community, and helping people in their worst moments. (And doesn't mind getting up at 3am in pouring rain and going out and pushing through dense underbrush for hours!)
OpenAI already had a “single extremely large customer”: Microsoft. In fact the Apple deal is the first sign they’re not just a de facto Microsoft subsidiary.
Drag and dropping photos and other files from iPhone (plugged via USB) works well on Linux in the file browser. Too bad it seems Apple can’t figure it out on their own OS, though maybe they have now.
Like they've done in the past, huh?

They talk about "independent experts" a bit, which I remember being hindered (and sued?) by them rather than supported.
That was merely one aspect of what people were bothered about. The most obvious one.
I don't believe that. Apple is in the driver's seat in this negotiation. I believe OpenAI wanted Apple as a jewel in their crown and bent over backwards to get them to sign. I don't see how OpenAI makes any money off of this, but I do see them losing a lot of money as iOS users slam their service for free as they eat the costs.
The desperation to spin the narrative to prevent Trump returning to the White House reaches new heights hourly.

GPT-4 is 1 year old; 3.5 is 1 and a half. Before 3.5, this wasn't really a useful technology. 7 years ago it was a research project that Google saw no value in pursuing.

1Password, for example, has a plugin for Firefox. Something that you would expect in MVP for any password manager.
>> People don't want everything tied to one identity, one service, one login.

I think this is exactly what _most_ people want.

With password management specifically, Apple has had a Chrome extension available for a while now which has allowed me to use it on other browsers/platforms. Not ideal, but good enough for most.

On top of that, they don't lock you in with passwords. You can easily import and export your passwords, just like you can with 1Password.

Apple Music has had a web client for a long time. iTunes has been on Windows for 20+ years and Apple Music was supported via that until recently when they built an Apple Music specific app.
> Users absolutely don't care if their prompt response has been generated by a CUDA kernel or some poorly documented apple specific silicon

They most certainly will. If you run GPT-4o on an iPhone with MLX, it will suck. Users will tell you it sucks, and they won't do so in developer-specific terms.

The entire point of this thread is that Apple can't make users happy with their Neural Engine. They require a stopgap cloud solution to make up for the lack of local power on iPhone.

> And haven't they already spent quite a bit on money on their pytorch-like MLX framework?

As well as Accelerate Framework, Metal Performance Shaders and previously, OpenCL. Apple can't decide where to focus their efforts, least of which in a way that threatens CUDA as a platform.
This development, but not all of the other things that go into a kernel and distro. If they pocket the whole core team, then they end up paying for all of the work, not just the few optimizations they really care about.
>The way Siri can now perform actions based on context from emails

I did not see the announcement. Can Siri also send emails? If so then won't this (like Gemini) be vulnerable to prompt injection attacks?

Edit: Supposedly Gemini does not actually send the emails; maybe Apple is doing the same thing?
We used 1pwd at my company and I have a paid family account. I love it. Think it's worth every penny.

"The thing I have noticed is when the anecdotes and the data disagree, the anecdotes are usually right. There's something wrong with the way you are measuring it". —[Jeff Bezos](https://sports.yahoo.com/amazon-ceo-jeff-bezos-explains-2123...)
IIRC the benefit of viagra comes from increased NO in blood. You naturally get no when you breathe from your nose. I'd like to see a research on viagra use and mouthbreathing relation.
the "project hieroglyph" anthology is great. it's "techno-optimistic science fiction" which isn't 100% identical to solarpunk but does have considerable overlap.

among older SF, "ecotopia" would definitely be called solarpunk if it were published today. it's a little preachy but I enjoyed it. becky chambers's "monk and robot" books are great modern examples, I can definitely recommend those if you like quietly philosophical science fiction.
You forgot #3: By letting anyone run mouse software on iPad, they have to use a stylus to operate it, which made Steve Jobs mad at Microsoft's pen computing division back in 2001.

I honestly believe this to be way more important of a reason to Apple than anything else. The point of making you buy two computers is not to get twice as much money out of you, it's to get app developers to port their apps over to UIKit and make you re-buy all your apps twice.

I tried UTM SE a while back. Using it with the Magic Keyboard was almost the Real Deal Laptop Experience, but if I ever took my iPad out of its Magic Keyboard then I'd have to use some really annoying mouse and keyboard emulation to use the same software. Apple's the kind of company that will absolutely put guns to the heads of their users to force them to not have a bad computing experience.
Yet you ignore some very well known successful recent bombing campaigns:

- NATO in Libya in 2011

- Operation Iraqi Freedom

- Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan)

- US and coalition campaign against ISIS

- Saudi bombing in Yemen have pretty much stalled the Houthis.

- Russia in Syria for the last decade

- France in the Sahel

- The Turks in Iraq and Syria, been going on for almost a decade.

- Israel against Hezbollah in summer of 2006, didn't get the captured soldiers back but did stall the rockets against Northern Israel. And in Gaza in 2014, similar result in stopping the rocket attacks.

- Kosovo in 1999

That's all off the top of my head, though I did have to Google the names a bit. And it's all within recent memory, I remember every one of those conflicts. I'm sure some old timers here will mention quite a few more, spanning further back in time and further geographically.
I don't see anything to that effect in tfa, and a few people in the comments have claimed otherwise.
Those are pretty big If's when you have a webkit or blink-based browser on the same device.
Android theoretically has a pretty rich intent API, but like anything on Android adoption is a big meh.
Yeah, reliability is the crucial bit. Like that example he showed where it checked whether he can make an appointment (by checking driving times), a lot can go wrong there and if the assistant tells you "Yes, you can" but you cannot then I can see lots of people getting angry and not trusting it for anything.
Maybe it will remind people that we should never have been mistaking recorded media for reality in the first place, a lesson we've been learning since at least 1917...

Russian Bots Use Fake Tom Cruise for Paris Olympic Disinformation
The creator admits it early on -- it's measuring rarity based on the specific notation everyone uses, which greatly influences the classification of rarity.

Fundamentally all chess moves are a piece moving from one source to another destination including:

- castling as a king move with a distance greater than 1

- pawn moves to the 8th or 1st rank with the additional datum of a new piece

- en passant is the same as a regular pawn capture, it just requires the victim pawn to have moved two squares previously.

Algebraic notation also has an arbitrary and reasonable amount of extraneous detail despite dropping the source location if it's unambiguous.

For example, the captures (x), check(+) and checkmate(#) symbols are all unnecessary given the previous state of the board is always known. With en passant it's also unnecessary to have a special symbol indicating an en passant capture, and indeed there isn't one.

I was initially hoping to get some insight on e.g. which pairs of squares had the fewest moves for a given piece etc.

That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed the video. It was beautifully illustrated and explained everything clearly.
This is similar to asking why Unity for a 2D game when something like SDL/Pygame/Love2D will work... sure it will and probably will be much cleaner for smaller, simpler things but I couldn't phantom building something with a lot of interactivity, popups, drag and drops, interaction, etc. with just HTMX and Alpine, and you get a massive ecosystem of UI libraries with premade theming, etc. Plus now React has NextJS which also gives you backend and SSR capabilities into one cohesive solution.

htmx looks really cool to me and I probably would chose it if I were to build something like Hacker News with little interactivity where I just need to show a few things reactively, but it's just not the right tool for all applications.

Even if you build something simple and small you can use a small subset of React without any complex frameworks or libraries, just as a single library, and it will work fine and won't be too complex.

Disclaimer I have not used React extensively although I did work at my dayjob with Vue which is very similar.
Some generative AI features are quite useful. I’m already using AI to generate icons for my apps and write nonsense legalese. But one thing when I explicitly creating image by prompting at the third-party server, and another when AI index and upload all my private documents in the cloud. Apple promised: “Independent experts can inspect the code that runs on Apple silicon servers to verify privacy, and Private Cloud Compute cryptographically ensures that iPhone, iPad, and Mac do not talk to a server unless its software has been publicly logged for inspection.” There are so many questions: Who’re these experts? Can myself be this expert? Will the server software be open sourced? Well, I will postpone my fears until Apple rolls out AI on devices, but now I see this is a privacy nightmare. Now it’s all looks like Microsoft’s Recall. I afraid that without homogeneous encryption private cloud is a sad joke.
is my iPhone 14 going to get none of this then?

i understand i'm not going to get the on-device stuff, but something like siri being able to call out to chatGPT should be available on any device, right?
Just making linux more appealing for the subset of the population that doesn't want to hook into skynet's subpar UX.
Bisection and testing might be automated, but resolving merge conflicts isn't.
Jumping on the chatgpt hype train is a mistake. I don't want anything from my devices to be accessible by openai. It will bite them back big time.

That's too many words with surprisingly little meaning. I'd suggest to wait for more technical details and to treat this as marketing until then.
All genetic algorithms are created by conscious intelligent beings. So I'm more interested in how a genetic algorithm develops by chance, with what probability. I guess typing monkeys wouldn't create genetic algorithms in the existing universe's timeframe even if the monkeys themselves have some (also random) fitness function that by chance has the ability to replace dumb monkeys with smarter ones.

Seems to be the case that commenters do not know that Keychain Access exists.

Apple has tried various approaches of surfacing this functionality (eg the passwords panel in Safari and again in iOS’s settings app). This just seems to be the app-agnostic way of providing this functionality to everyday users, and probably a good thing as platforms move away from passwords.

For air transport in the U.S., it's not just one certificate, it's many. You get your private license, instrument rating, multi-engine rating, commercial certificate, instructor certificate, and finally the air transport certificate. And you're not allowed to even think about that last step until you've accumulated 1500 flight hours on the previous steps. Being allowed to write a Javascript login page is easy pickings compared to that.
There's hundreds+ of companies making LLMs we can choose from, and the switching cost is low. There's only one company that can make self-driving software for Tesla. Basically, competition should lead to improvements.
You can rsync over ssh from and to Android devices, if you install Termux (Linux in an app).

And SolidExplorer is a good app to transfer data from/to Android.

I'm a long time Mac user, but I really dislike Apple's walled garden on the iPhone and thus switched to Android some years ago.
Apple is again going where Google (the world's largest ad company) cannot follow: 100% user privacy.

They really hammered in the fact that every bit is going to be either fully local or publicly auditable to be private.

There's no way Google can follow, they need the data for their ad modeling. Even if they anonymise it, they still want it.
I don't understand why people act like this is a new way of working. Hundreds of ISO certifications require independent audit. Functionally this can be done in many ways, like source code access by human reviewers, or static scanning with signed results. What's important is not who looks, be it PwC, Deloitte, or industry peers. It's important whats being looked for, and what standards are being followed.

This is silly. It’s complaining that investments made in the last 3 years haven’t returned. None of these investors in recent AI companies including investments in high return investments like Canva or Anthropic expect to have a distribution right now. They invested with a 7+ year horizon.
Scammers don't need this to copy an existing website, and I could see plenty of legitimate uses. Maybe you're redoing the website but want to keep the previous site around somewhere, or you want an easy way to archive a site for future reference.

I've got so much perfectly-working e-waste from Apple. It's so sad. I'm on a Late 2014 Mac mini that's stuck on Monterey macOS 12 and a Late 2014 retina iMac that's stuck on Big Sur macOS 11(!!) An iPhone7 that's stuck on iOS15. The display on that iMac is still IMO second to none. These computers do everything I need, yet their software support is stuck back in time. And 3rd party developers are terrible about supporting previous version of macOS. They alway seem to assume you are running the latest and greatest, and deliberately remove support for earlier OSs.

Hell, I have an O.G. iPad 1 that still works perfectly as it did the day I bought it, but most of the built-in software no longer works, and the App Store is basically empty. What a sad state of affairs.
I liked this piece - excellent high-level thinking through the available market opportunities, especially given the constraint of venture capital. And the moral framework is down-to-earth: nothing wrong with ambition and risk even when things go south, paired with a buck-stops-here attitude.

I'd bet good money OtherBranch will succeed.
Death actually can be the price of being wrong. Just wait for someone to do the wrong thing with an AI tool they weren't supposed to use for what they were doing, and the AI to spit out the worse possible "hallucination" (in terms of outcome).

I know some dogs that don’t quite understand capitalism but can definitely reason in a novel way.

I think intelligence might not just be reasoning but also the ability to seek knowledge and reason. Some form of will to attain higher intelligence. Machines only have human interests of further knowledge in that regard.
Fair enough in regard to strong critiques.

I still don't think the original statement I jumped in at ("Palestinians never had a country so that couldn't have been stolen from them") stands on its own, or helps explain the current situation.

Of course they had a country; and hence would not recognize domination by a foreign population -- unless imposed by overwhelming force. The original Zionists were keenly aware of this fact, which is why it has become one of guiding tenants in nearly major strategic decisions Israel has made since.

If anything, your words prove he was absolutely wrong.
Is there a single citation for anything you just said?

> Apple can decide one day to simply stop paying you because, hey, they can afford the years of litigation to resolve it.

OpenAI and Microsoft also can do the same. Microsoft would be ecstatic to hurt Apple in any way. Also Apple has also no history of doing this with any of the providers they use.

> Benjamin Moore (the paint company) maintains its own stores. They have not (and probably will not) sell their products through Home Depot or Lowe's. Why?

Because Home Depot has their own brand, Behr. Each Behr color explicitly says what Benjamin Moore color it's copying, and they take 100% of the revenue as a direct alternative. Do you have any sources on this being a Benjamin Moore decision?

> It's why Apple ditched Google Maps for the (still inferior) Apple Maps.

How do you define "still inferior"? How many times a day do you use Apple Maps? Do you have any benchmarks that compare the two?

Not everyone has nation states in their threat models. I want privacy from corporations / surveillance capitalism, not the US government. Apple's privacy promises are focused on keeping my data out of the hands of bad actors like Google etc. and that's more than enough for me.
His definition of rare is an artifact of the notation where board state requires disambiguation, as in it includes externalities.
