Yes; that's a possibility, too. I'm trying to weigh whether that's the best course of action, or decouple our email and google docs.

I have seen price increases a number of times already, though. What started at $5/mo/user has increased. I do feel like a captive, which breeds a bit of animosity, though.
How We Use the Microchip AT86RF215 Transceiver
It doesn't have to be churches, local school with parents association making events, libraries that have spaces for the kids to hangout with others and work on projects together, open sports areas, parks and small festivities, farmers market that have a set periodicity. But it has to have one space where people can start to meet each other so they can talk and desire more things so they can build these other spaces or have some unified way to demand it from their local mayor.
This is amazing. A Finnish man gets curious about a missing persons case. He does some great detective work, and builds an ROV with side scanning sonar and video. The outcome, with some help from his brother, is just spectacular. I couldn't stop reading!
> Documentation is barely existent

Depends on the thing. And there is a large community with examples online, which helps.

> you can’t really reuse your code in any other context

Not everyone cares. If I’m only targeting an iOS app the fact the code doesn’t run on Android or Windows isn’t a problem for me.

> you have to pay them money to even release your software

On Apple’s App Store, sure. Or if you want your stuff signed. If you want to release open source or don’t mind shipping unsigned stuff it’s free free free.

> they steal 30% of your revenue
> they reserve the right to shut you down at any point, for any reason and provide almost zero recourse.

Only if you’re in their App Store or want your stuff signed.

> I get why people had to use it historically but it seems like a really bad choice to try and build any kind of reliable future on top of in 2024.

The bargain is the same as it ever was. I’m OK with it. I made stuff in Xcode for my Mac just for me for a long time without hassle or paying a cent. The costs only cost if you want to distribute pre-built binaries to others.
Conceivably, they don't have precise answers for that yet, and won't until after they see what real-world usage looks like.

They built out a system that's ready to scale to deliver features that may not work on available hardware, but they're also incentivized to minimize actual reliance on that cloud stuff as it incurs per-use costs that local runs don't.
Sure, there aren't many sources on my side of the argument because everyone who tried to publish was either threatened, harassed, surveilled, or bribed.

I'll give you that one.
Love your extension! There's definitely room for it
Are they going to remove competitor password manager apps as they did with other things they have incorporated into the iOS?
But it was a decent new Google product, hence all the past tenses.
Idk about Sam Altman in particular, but OpenAI pulled the bait-and-switch you can still see in its name. We don't know what the contract says exactly, but there are always loopholes, and I would not assume anything OpenAI says to be in good faith.

I also don't really care, but it's understandable why some people do.

macOS Sequoia update is interesting. It has been at least 5 - 6 years I felt macOS had some useful upgrade. But It is also arguably the smallest OS update in terms of number of new features sans Apple Intelligence. Most of the time macOS update talks about features that I have no idea who are they aiming for, or it felt more like certain people had to get new features in every macOS update for the sake of it. This time around most of them very small but useful additions.

iPhone Mirroring and Notification. No longer do I have to find my phone when I am at home sitting in front of my Mac just to check on notification. I could also enjoy most of my iPhone Apps and even some gaming without leaving my Mac. Making the Mac an extension of my iPhone. Very handy and useful. Something I wanted a very long time but thought Apple wouldn't do it.

Seamless drag and drop between devices - Probably need more testing, but AirDrop isn't reliable for doing massive amount of Files between iPhone and Mac. And again transferring files from Mac to an iPhone Apps no longer requires 5+ tedious steps.

Control over web video - Semi-Full Screen Video and the important thing here is "system playback controls". Some of the online video controls are just awful.

Notes - It does 90% of what I need from Soulver. I guess unit conversion won't be as good. And the Collapsible sections meant another note taking app of mine wont be needed.

Unfortunately Safari doesn't seems to get much update. It is still the worst browser for Tab Heavy Users. And their world fastest browser tagline for so many years is annoying because it is clearly very specific to limited cases. Both Chrome and Recent Firefox are simply faster.

Apart from Safari, my current major annoyance, unless there are some new problems from Sequoia, I am not even sure what is missing from macOS. At least right now it does seems macOS, in my view is 99% complete.

The only Apps [1] I will need installing as I wrote a few months ago are;

IINA - Media Player

QuickLook Video - Adds non-quicktime supported Video to Finder Preview.

Unarchiver or Keka - RAR or Zip files.

Little Snitch Mini - Network Monitoring

Transmission - Bit torrent

Apple Numbers, Pages - Alternative to M$ Office if you dont need all the features.

Text Editor - VS Code or Sublime,

And that is it. Other than the Apps above and Default Apps by Apple like Stocks and Notes, 99% of my time are inside Browser.

Like previously said, ROS is not an OS, its a framework for making hardware easily programmable with simple APIs, which happens to be very useful to get started with robots.

Sure there is a learning curve like many other frameworks!

People do think about that. But it's rich of Carroll to claim that MWI is falsifiable, as if it is quantum theory.
iPod and iPhone did not cost the equivalent of 2 months' rent. Apple also had the advantage of being an exciting upstart against boring incumbents, where it could enter the market late and still claim that they were the only ones "doing it right".

None of these apply to Apple in 2024.
When Apple published a webpage about how other phones also got reduced reception when you held them in a particular way, but then basically immediately pulled it. And then a while later they offered a free bumper case to mitigate the whole issue.
I look at it from a perspective of interchangeability - if you swapped Steve Ballmer in for Cook, nothing much would have changed. Same if you swapped Nadella in for Pichai, or Pichai for Cook. Very few of these men are exceptional; they are ordinary men with exceptional resources at hand. What they can do, what they should do, and what they can get away with, unseen, govern their impact. Leaders that actually impact their institutions are incredibly rare. Our current crop of ship steadying industry captains, with few exceptions, are not towering figures of incredible prowess and paragons of leadership. They're regular guys in extraordinary circumstances. Joe Schmo with an MBA, 120 IQ, and the same level of institutional knowledge and 2 decades of experience at Apple could have done the same as Cook; Apple wouldn't have looked much different than it does now.

There's a tendency to exaggerate the qualities of men in positions like this. There's nothing inherent to their positions requiring greatness or incredible merit. The extraordinary events already happened; their job is to simply not screw it up, and our system is such that you'd have to try really, really hard to have any noticeable impact, let alone actually hurt a company before the institution itself cuts you out. Those lawyers are a significant part of the organism of a modern mega corporation; they're the substrate upon which the algorithm that is a corporation is running. One of the defenses modern corporations employ is to limit the impact any individual in the organization can have, positive or otherwise, and to employ intense scrutiny and certainty of action commensurate with the power of a position.

Throw Cook into an start-up arena against Musk, Gates, Altman, Jobs, Buffet, etc, and he'd get eaten alive. Cook isn't the scrappy, agile, innovative, ruthless start-up CEO. He's the complacent, steady, predictable institutional CEO coasting on the laurels of his betters, shielded from the trials they faced through the sheer inertia of the organization he currently helms.

They're different types of leaders for different phases of the megacorp organism, and it's OK that Cook isn't Jobs 2.0 - that level of wildness and unpredictability that makes those types of leaders their fortunes can also result in the downfall of their companies. Musk acts with more freedom; the variance in behavior results in a variance of fortunes. Apple is more stable because of Cook, but it's not because he's particularly special. Simply steady and sane.
From Idea to Launch: PreHype's System for Starting Your Next Business
The cool thing about AI is that its all or nothing.

What we have right now is not really AI, its not really intelligence in the sense that the models can't reason. All the models out there are forward pass (and yes, even recurrent ones, which can essentially be unrolled). There is nothing on the horizon that indicates that we are even close to getting something that can reason, or are headed in the right direction.

The biggest benefit of current ML stuff is translation. Everything that ML does now is translation, and it will apply to dev more and more over time.

For example, Python and Node dominate the programming world because its way easier to translate ideas into code through abstraction layers. In the same way, the future is going to still require developers, but these developers are going to be coding in something that looks like python. You will be able to type plain english instructions on command line intermingled with traditional code, which will save you a lot of time because you won't have to learn specific syntax of some framework. The language will then be translated to some IR (most likely JS bytecode), which will then be translated by a specially trained model into efficient machine language instructions for a specific architecture.

There will probably be even a come back for FPGAs, because you there will probably be models that optimize architecture for your code, and there would be some use cases where processing at slower speed but in parallel with specific "virtualized hardware" configuration for optimality is actually faster.

And all that will mean is that dev will move faster. You will be able to write code faster, test the code and simulate production usage easier, and generally make things work in way shorter time with way less people. The thing thats preventing a lot of stuff being made now isn't really lack of ideas, its lack of funding.

Now, as for actual AI, i.e intelligence that can reason, if we somehow manage to build it, the cool thing about it is that you will be able to simply ask it a question "Im a regular guy, what is the best way for me to optimize my life that guarantees my current standard of living?", and it will answer this for you.
I appreciate that, I'll look at some of his videos later. I consider myself highly functioning, despite an extremely debilitating case of ADHD, thanks to strong coping mechanisms. But I just am mostly tired of feeling overwhelmed while working through my task list. I'd like it to just be easier, the cognitive load is too much these days.

I've been prescribed just about any ADHD medication you can think of, but they all pale in comparison to solid coping mechanisms. I know my options are basically adderall or vyvanse, and I know how I react to them.

Caffeine is a decent substitute most days. What it comes down to is my aversion to the physical response of amphetamine, as well as the long-term implications of blasting my brain with speed every day. I haven't had any drug problems, I take a rational, knowledge-driven approach to the disorder. But I want to feel like I'm at 130%, not 80%. I'll probably return to vyvanse, just much lower doses than I used to be prescribed, and see how that shakes out.

It's hard for people without this disorder to really appreciate the implications. I just lost a best friend last year over his toxic behavior and insensitivity around what he believes is a made-up disease, despite overwhelming evidence for a genetic explanation involving reduced dopamine uptake.
Hey hey! As someone with ADHD who coped the same way for a similar time period and has been exploring medication for a little over a year, I would highly recommend trying again even if just for the sake of experimentation (a supportive health care provider helps a ton here).

I've found it to be a better trade-off that's helped me make a lot more progress in addressing the things that worsen my focus/follow-through/ability to take care of myself and help avoid counter-productive cycles of anxiety, depression, and short-term reward seeking behavior.

It's not perfect, there are still undesirable side-effects, and managing medication tolerance (without just endlessly bumping my dose) is something I've had to figure out on my own, but I definitely prefer the feeling of clarity to the fog.

Ouch, I'm sort of annoyed that the author was inspired to be long-winded and have 16 or more parts to his story. I'm up to part 2 and there's a fear of disappointment that it'll be a boring waste of time. (In comparison to the Death Valley Germans story, which was captivating!)

I do not have an alternative and agree that this type of screening is necessary.

I just think the fundamental problem here is not procedural as the post seems to suggest - but rather social-psychological. Making the experience less painful to the losers is the key problem to solve.

That would fix the candidate pipeline problem because people would be less terrified of failure.

I don't know how to solve it.

To quote Leonard Cohen:

It's coming from the sorrow in the street
The holy places where the races meet
From the homicidal bitchin'
That goes down in every kitchen
To determine who will serve and who will eat

I do not envy anyone in the position of making this determination!
Gas Buddy, like all 3rd party apps, has their privacy practices detailed on their App Store page. It's true that not all vendors are completely truthful with this information, but Gas Buddy (for one) appears to be pretty up-front: everything in the app is shared with the developers or others except (they say) diagnostic information. Apple set up a privacy-disclosure rule, Gas Buddy seems to be following it, and it's the user's choice whether to install Gas Buddy.

Apple has done its privacy work here; now it's up to the end user to make the final choice.
I mean, your pushed out to what? Lol your acting like android doesn't obsolete the shit out of their past cycle phones. I don't really get what you wanted them to do here, they're deploying AI in the OS and ecosystem where they can and the features that the hardware supports are being brought in, i don't see where they're implementing features that the hardware supports and are blocking "because"... I don't think anywhere they clarified what part of the cloud tools wont work on older versions. But at the end of the day old hardware is old... its not gonna support everything especially on generational shifts like how much better arm was over intel, or the fact that NPU's don't just manifest inside of old silicon
Go look at the resumes of everyone in a leadership position at that company. Find me the person who has ever run a recruiting desk. You can't do it. Every engineer has an inner know-it-all recruiter who just instinctively knows not only how to recruit, but how to run a successful recruiting business.

Which is why almost none of them have ever been successful at building a recruiting company. Because recruiting is a people problem, not a technical problem, and people problems are vastly harder to scale.

If you don't believe me, go talk to third party technical recruiting firms and ask them what the backgrounds of their top contributors are. Unless they're being spoonfed with a sweetheart deal from a former employer, virtually all of these people can barely operate their own PCs, much less know anything about engineering. I used to be a recruiter. The three most successful third party technical recruiters I know (with incomes in the 300k+ range in Texas, not SV) are a high school dropout, a college dropout, and a theater major. These people know how to communicate with other people, are as nice as can be over the phone, and they will fight you over a stray nickle.

Being great at recruiting is about being great at building relationships. Building relationships is built upon trust. Clients need to trust that the recruiter can find candidates and convince them to sign on when the time comes. Candidates need to trust that the recruiter is motivated to find them a position. As long as the effort is there, the better the recruiter balances that trust factor, the more money they make.

Triplebyte sucked at the people game. They sprang public opt-out on people and couldn't figure out why that would be such a big deal to potential job seekers. They assumed that their process was so great that experienced devs who had jobs and lives and lifestyles and families would just jump at the chance for impersonal coding evaluations. They started a company with no idea how to recruit and hired people to build a recruiting product who had no background in recruiting. And no, founding a company does not give one recruiting expertise, even if they're doing the hiring. It is both a talent and a skill.

Oh, and here's a fun one: they failed to recognize that along with being a people game, recruiting is a numbers game. Being highly selective in your pool of candidates is a genius way to run out of money as a recruiting firm, especially when you've already chosen to place numerous self-own barriers in front of you.

The average third party technical recruiter with a year of experience actively maintains and prunes their own database of 3-400 candidates. More than that is too many people to manage. You can either pay a bunch of engineers to attempt to automate a small part of their process, or you can simply hire people to do the work and pay them according to what they produce.
> Those candidates don't go looking for work at all. Work comes looking for them. Why would they go on _any_ jobs platform, ever?

Because I don't know what’s out there, or who will give me the best offer. If you’re skilled and in the middle of your career, it’s easy to find a job, but if your options are wide open, a matchmaking service like this with a wide pool of companies is very valuable.
Looks great. How does it behave on conflicts when 2 offline users write to the same rows and then go online?
Few points but overall agree.

1. ARC was a bad project. Gateway was always going to be necessary even if ARC was completed. I'm skeptical that the region would get a second bite at the federal funding apple for Gateway if ARC was built. It's not even clear to me that Gateway's alignment would have been possible if ARC was built.

2. NJT defers maintenance because it funds its operating subsidy through the capital budget. It has at least since Chris Christie slashed the operating subsidy during the financial crisis (NJ budget was massively strained).

3. There were stories a few years ago about NJT problems holding onto train engineers. Trainees would generally leave for jobs at MTA, LIRR, and Amtrak that paid 30%+ more. Going back to that $2+ billion that commuting NJ residents pay to NYS - which presumably subsidizes MTA operations - it sort of looks like that structural tax issue is causing NJ residents to subsidize MTA salaries to the detriment of NJT.

4. Going back to the tax issue. NYS and NYC benefit from NJ commuter access. Building ARC or Gateway make it so NJ can send more commuters to NYC to pay taxes to NYS. Why should NJ pay anything for its construction?

I'm generally supportive of congestion pricing. But I think NYC/NYS have a long history of treating NJ like a bedroom community that it has no responsibility toward. It doesn't have to after all - no votes, politicians will never care about non-constituents. But like, to impose another tax that meaningfully impacts NJ residents resides in the context of a deeply toxic, dysfunctional dynamic. NJ residents should rightfully be bothered.

> Our foundation models are fine-tuned for users’ everyday activities, and can dynamically specialize themselves on-the-fly for the task at hand. We utilize adapters, small neural network modules that can be plugged into various layers of the pre-trained model, to fine-tune our models for specific tasks. For our models we adapt the attention matrices, the attention projection matrix, and the fully connected layers in the point-wise feedforward networks for a suitable set of the decoding layers of the transformer architecture.

>We represent the values of the adapter parameters using 16 bits, and for the ~3 billion parameter on-device model, the parameters for a rank 16 adapter typically require 10s of megabytes. The adapter models can be dynamically loaded, temporarily cached in memory, and swapped — giving our foundation model the ability to specialize itself on the fly for the task at hand while efficiently managing memory and guaranteeing the operating system's responsiveness.

This kind of sounds like Loras......
