In April, Honeywell announced development of Surface Alert (SURF-A)...

How does this differ from SURF-IA, demonstrated five years ago?

This isn't real "arbitrary package downloading", though — Apple still audits all the code that goes into these repos (which is why they can't just keep them up-to-date.) It's essentially just offloading of some of the app's packaged code into separate "DLC" modules, to make the base app download more lightweight.

> I haven't yet tried updating the /etc/apk/ files to make Alpine upgrade though.

I would highly suspect that this wouldn't work.

Maybe it would have in some prior version, back when there was the technical barrier of it being very hard to cross-compile Linux binaries for arm64.

But I would guess, upon the popularization of things like the Raspberry Pi, that Apple required the developer of iSH to modify the version of apk(1) that ships with the tool to only work with APKs that have been signed by Apple.
"I was initially hoping to get some insight on e.g. which pairs of squares had the fewest moves for a given piece etc."

This may not be quite what you were asking for, but it's close, and has the advantage that I can link it right now. Tom7's Elo World chess video has where pieces start and end up, and their survival rates, as a chart: https://youtu.be/DpXy041BIlA?si=Zdh6Rh6mekatp2-q&t=815
The difference is that this is on-device and private. Gmail just feeds your emails to Google's servers and they do the crunching. And in the meanwhile train their systems to be better using your content.
I'm afraid to ask but, are all these books made free by their authors?

This was not clear in the readme.

Maybe it's my lack of being natively fluent in English, but the switching between sarcasm and genuine enthusiasm is confusing.

Of course, I'm assuming the author is being sarcastic about gaining the ability to use calculator on an ipad, which would be on me.
That requires trusting that the attestation hardware does what it says it does, and that the larger hardware system around it isn't subject to invasion. Those requirements mean that your assurance is no longer entirely cryptographic. And, by the way, Apple apparently plans to be building the hardware.

It could be a very large practical increase in assurance, but it's not what they're saying it is.
Literally not a monopoly.
Siri just feels like, tokenize input => run classifier over hardcoded actions.
If you're jamming the throttle then the difference between Venus and Mars is also not very much.
That seems a very bold assumption these days, as indeed does that that this particular world-system is not in fact built on sand.

True, but it's trivial to come up with things to dislike in C++ :-)
They say user data remains in the Secure Enclave at all times, which Nvidia GPUs would not be able to access. I am quite certain that their private cloud inference runs only Apple silicon chips. (The pre-WWDC rumors were that they built custom clusters using M2 Ultras.)
Ask HN: Anyone looking for a free PM/QA engineer?
The bar for launching a product has risen. Putting something very basic out there can sometimes leave a bad impression with potential users.

I'll use your web app and report any bugs I encounter, free of charge.

I've worked as a Software Engineer and Head of Engineering & Product for several startups and large companies. I also hold a PhD in Human Factors Engineering and Software Engineering, so I enjoy helping to enhance software.

Please leave your email below, along with your web app's URL and a brief description of your product. I'll collaborate with 10 teams to help identify any bugs.
Status codes, I am displaying the list because mostly on a JavaScript driven application you don't want other codes than 200 (besides media).

I thought about robots.txt but as this is a software that you are supposed to run against your own website I didn't consider it worthy. You have a point on speed requirements and prohibited resources (but is not like skipping over them will add any security).

I haven't put much time/effort into an update step. Currently, it resumes if the process exited via checkpoints(it saves current state every 250 URLs, if any is missing then it can continue, else it will be done)

Thanks, btw what's your project!? Share!
Microsoft's recall is going to have that feature, according to the latest updates on the matter. I hope apple won't lag behind on implementing this one.
What's strange in it? I've been using macs and android phones for over a decade. And a lot of tech savvy people do the same. Macbooks have been a solid dev platform for a while, and do not really require any mobile platform preference.
Maybe it's just my overly-cynical ass but when the parent comment said Teams+ lets you build apps inside Teams, I physically shuddered.
Regarding image generation, it seems the Image Playground supports three styles: Animation, Illustration, or Sketch.

Notice what's missing? A photorealistic style.

It seems like a good move on their part. I'm not that wild about the cartoon-ification of everything with more memes and more emojis, but at least it's obviously made-up; this is oriented toward "fun" stuff. A lot of kids will like it. Adults, too.

There's still going to be controversy because people will still generate things in really poor taste, but it lowers the stakes.
The flip side, is that they would not have been able to execute so well with Azure etc if the Windows org had too much of a say about pushing Windows as the OS of choice everywhere. Winning in a brand new space, especially one that might be disruptive to other business units, sometimes necessitates letting the new org do its own thing.
It's a 17 minute video.. that's quite the round up. Just saying because for me the difference from 15 minutes to 30 minutes tends to go from: "yeah I'll check this out" to "boy this is an investment".
I feel like this is actually the thing you want when you say "less things cluttering my screen".

Siri can now be that assistant, that summarises or does things, that would instead make you go through various screens or apps. Feels like it rescues clutter, not increases it to me imo
the problem is embedding game logic (game rules) into the matrix, which is a data structure, hence it is a data structure question
Afaik it's just rate limiting, I don't know what the limits are but another user made a similar submission this month (can't find it right now) so maybe the limit was lowered. Did any of the comments receive [flagged] from other users?
Yes, the top radical is for drops of rain but the i inclusion of the bottom part has a meaning that clearly aligns with spirit, especially when you see the rare kanji that use it as a component. I only was curious as it was part of another kanji (孁) that I was investigating.
> Stage Manager was the most interesting and useful thing to happen to window management in over a decade

… really? I’ve tried to use it a few times but it’s just… not good. Not very intuitive, full of idiosyncrasies, and it doesn’t solve the basic "I want to snap 2 windows side by side" problem. Maybe it’s more interesting on iPad?

I’m glad they finally bring window snapping to Mac.

> but I didn’t expect Apple to hit it out of the park so strongly.

No-one is hitting anything out of the park, this is just Apple the company realising that they're falling behind and trying to desperately attach themselves to the AI train. Doesn't matter if in so doing they're validating a company run by basically a swindler (I'm talking about the current OpenAI and Sam Altman), the Apple shareholders must be kept happy.
There's a source somewhere for the greatest number of errors happening because of shift change, where e.g. a doctor's notes are incomplete and don't mark down a detail that later turned out to be important. The study found that much-longer-than-i-thought shifts were better than shorter ones, I believe e.g. 16 or even 24 hour shifts were safer than 8 hour shifts.
Breaking in balls for professional sports is a whole thing.

Brand new equipment out of the box sucks, but if you let equipment managers bring out old balls than there is going to be wild variations between every different ball used. So having a consistent break-in process is pretty important.

It's not the AI research which disrupts old publishing houses. It's FAIR and Open Science.

The biggest reason publishing houses still continue is not that they hold PDFs, but they provide peer reviews as a service. It's what it provides their prestige and inertia.

The bad thing is many open access journals keep the bar pretty low, allowing Elsevier, Springer, et. al to amplify their power. Moreover, if you are not aware, every big publishing house loves to allow ArXiV submissions even in intermediate revisions because they reduce the editorial load on themselves while raising the quality bar.

You can already cite blog posts, etc. in your publications. It's not something frown upon as long as what you cite is sound.

At the end of the day, FAIR & Open research, institutional federated and peer reviewed data warehouses and (high quality) open access publications will kill these big houses, and they already bent pretty hard with forced open access subscriptions and submission agreements done by countries.

Disclaimer: My institution also manages these subscriptions for universities country-wide.

Ding we have a winner. Quite a bit more than that if I remember correctly.
doesn't it seem a bit strange that apple would allow emulation of game consoles which (for the most part) are used with pirated games but a pc emulator that is more easily can use legitimate copies is blocked for 'reasons'... its almost like apple is encouraging piracy...

btw, i think the top comment on that article nails it:

Yeah, kids love going through the albums themselves (the paper copies).

Anime is much the same. Licensing into the west only started in earnest in the last 10-15 years, which late by a lot of standards. I'm sure there are still a small slice of folks who can ink these deals, therefore giving anyone a job at all.

Also let's be real - most 'animators' are just tracing masters into different scenes. There's a small subset of them that are highly skilled, especially on non-original shows that use source material. I'd support paying true character artists and scene artists well, but not copy-pasters which seems like busy-work.

Agreed, that would be good. Someone at Apple/Google should take a note.
The original United States Constitution very clearly protected the interests of the aristocracy. You couldn't participate in the government unless you were white; male; and owned real property.

And it provided further protections against "rule of the masses" by providing for a powerful Senate that had the same number of senators per state regardless of the population, as a counter force to the House.

But the one protection most stridently demanded by the wealthy was the electoral college, which made sure the Presidency was not determined by popular vote.

The masses have been paying the price ever since.
There's all kinds of fun things that could be done with the franchise. An isekai where an Otaku gets reborn as Shinji and tries to do it right would be great.
TBH, I think the IT industry is too concentrated at eating itself. We are happily automating our jobs away and such while the other industries basically just sleep through.

I don't want generative AI in my phone. I want someone, or something to book a meeting with my family doctor, the head of my son's future primary school, etc. I don't need AI to do that. I need the other industries (medical/government/education) to wake up and let us automate them.

Do you know that my family doctor ONLY take calls? Like in the 1970s I guess? Do you know it takes hours to reach a government office, and they work maybe 6 hours a day? The whole world is f**ing sleeping, IT people, hey guys, slow down on killing yourselves.

AI is supposed to get rid of the chores, now it leaves us with the chores and take the creative part away. I don't need such AI.
I think I checked this. The self hosted wallet was tricky if I remember right.
At the same time, NumPy is so ubiquitous in science, I wouldn't even consider that intermediate, it falls under basics.

Really it's just a case of Python being able to handle a ton of different use cases that sometimes overlap, you can be really deep into it in one area but never touch another.
Since the location of where the mud is gathered is considered a secret, I imagine it's more about giving people a different reason as to why he's there.
Show HN: Missing Building-Blocks for the Agent World
I've been working on this for months, and it's far from done, but I'm curious about your opinion.
It’s ironic how the one company that is WAY over the top wrt secrecy — not only to the public, but also and especially internally (they’ve even walled the hardware team from the software team while developing the iPhone!) — is at the same time the one company that really nails integration.
From a user perspective it's 100% clear.

If the system doesn't say "I'm gonna phone a friend to get an answer for this", it's going to stay either 100% local or at worst 100% within Apple Intelligence, which is audited to be completely private.

So if you're asking for a recipe for banana bread, going to ChatGPT is fine. Sending more personal information might not be.
I still run f.lux even though macOS has native Night Shift. I run BetterDisplay even though I can change display settings natively. I run AppCleaner even though in theory I can uninstall an app by dragging it to the bin. I run Alfred even though Spotlight exists.

I bet I'm gonna keep Rectangle as well.
I see what they did here and it is smart, but can bring chaos. On one side it is like saying "we own it", but on the other hand it is putting a brand outside of their control. Now I only hope people will not abbreviate it with ApI, because it will pollute search results for API :P
Thoughts on the WWDC 2024 keynote on Apple Intelligence
And even if they did, there'd be five competing efforts, two would be good or at least decent, four would be deployed (not the best one though), and all would be replaced in three years.

None of them would work on-device, all would leak your data into the training set.
What you say is true, however with self-driving cars death, personal injury, and property damage are much more immediate, much more visible, and many of the errors are of a kind where most people are qualified to immediately understand what the machine did wrong.

An LLM that gives you a detailed plan for removing a stubborn stain in your toilet that involves mixing the wrong combination of drain cleaners and accidentally releasing chlorine, is going to happen if it hasn't already, but a lot of people will read about this and go "oh, I didn't know you could gas yourself like that" and then continue to ask the same model for recipes or Norwegian wedding poetry because "what could possibly go wrong?"

And if you wonder how anyone can possibly read about such a story and react that way, remember that Yann LeCun says this kind of thing despite (a) working for Facebook and (b) Facebook's algorithm gets flack not only for the current teen depression epidemic, but also from the UN for not doing enough to stop the (ongoing) genocide in Myanmar.

It's a cognitive blind spot of some kind. Plenty smart, still can't recognise the connection.

Big fan of HTTrack! reminds me of the old days and makes me sad of the current state of the web.

I am not sure if HTTTrack progressed from fetching resources, long time since I used it for last time, but what my project does, is spin a real web-browser(chrome in headless mode which means it's hidden) and then it lets the JavaScript on that website execute, which means it will display/generate some fancy HTML that you can then save it as is into an index.html. It saves all kind of files, it doesn't care the extension or mime types of files, it tries to save them all.
Personally I care about this much more than whatever AI stuff happens at WWDC.

This is the real "developer" issue we are talking about.
they still do white text on a lime green background despite every accessibility guidance to the contrary. if I used white text on a lime green background at my job I would be reprimanded. this is malicious compliance.
It's not that potential investors (in funds) have been burned so much as that the lack of distributions means they either don't have the liquidity to spare or they are up against limits as to what percentage of investments they want to hold in alternatives/illiquid investments.
And of those people, how many of them would prefer full-fat Photoshop on a Surface Pro or drawing tablet?
At the core of everything they presented is privacy. Yes the point is that most questions are answered locally or via the Private Compute system.

More specifically "is openai seeing my personal data or questions?" A: "No, unless you say it's okay to talk to OpenAI everything happens either on your iPhone or in Private Compute"
The disruption started even before the AI hype. ArXiV is not an AI focused service anyway (it started with pysics IIRC). It's FAIR and Open science and push from countries like Germany which forced Elsevier to sign open access submission and publication agreements in the first place.

This happened ~5 years before AI hype became something, and ArXiV was a force even before that.
How soon counts as “impending”?

This has been my experience too, I came from a HPC scientific background and ended up doing Django after leaving academia (for an engineering company, so still pretty maths-y). When I was hiring I really had to reset expectations to some degree about whether people had the capacity to learn this stuff rather than know it already.
Yes. Siri debuted with the iPhone 4s (running iOS 5) in 2011. It wasn't until iOS 15 in 2021 that Siri gained the ability to do some things without an internet connection, on devices with the A12 Bionic chip (the 2018 iPhone XR/XS or later).
My thoughts exactly, as someone who manages 145 iPhones for a health-care org, all of this stuff needs to be completely blockable and granularly manageable in Mobile Device Management or things could go very, very wrong compliance-wise.

Thank you for posting this. You wrote it better than I could. Much respect and appreciation to the parent commenter for the good insights; for some of us though, that first bullet point is a bit of a sore spot. When I initially read the first bullet point I had to close my browser for a while. For decades, I tried to "just do things" or "find meaning in tasks" or do whatever other advice I could find. About a year ago, I finally went to a doctor, got diagnosed, and started trying different medications. It took months to find the right combo of meds, but once we did I was astonished at how I could now also "just do things" (at least, for part of each day). The meds aren't perfect--I have good days and not-so-good days--but I am thankful to have some predictability now as to when I will be functional.

Also, for those starting out, it might take a few tries to find the right med(s). For me, just a stimulant or just an antidepressant didn't do much, but a stimulant and an antidepressant together has made a great improvement in my life.
