It's more of: people want things obviously bad for them because of abusive salesmanship techniques, which exploit information asymmetry and opportunity cost (i.e. that people can't be bothered to do deep research on every one of the thousands things they buy). This includes effective marketing, that is typically deceptive and stops short of direct lies (sometimes not even that).
In a way, it already did, which is why remote work is so much more popular now. If you don't need to show up to an office, you can purchase cheaper housing in a place further away from an urban metro.
That is a fundamentally incorrect way to think about things, there is no such thing as a safe pesticide. If it was safe, it wouldn't have any usable detrimental effect.

On the list of things I worry about when it comes to acute chemical exposure (eye danger, lung danger, absorption through skin), the various kinds of Roundup and associated generic formulations is personally down at the bottom as "least concern" at all levels of exposure. If I had to be drenched in a pesticide, this is the one I would choose offhand. It'd still be bad, chemical concentrate is not a joke.

I cannot speak to it's potential long term effects like cancer, as I neither have the skill, time, or desire to search through and evaluate the mess of biased literature available. Given my religious use of PPE and the short 3 year period of applicating small plot trials, my current level of concern for it's potential cancer effects is also "least concern". What's actually going to kill me is a heart attack/stroke given my family history, so I spend my limited mental and physical energy on maintaining a healthy weight and exercise.
Yes, application issues own JWT tokens - specifically in `public.create_jwt`
They can construct various internally-consistent models of what's going on, debate the merits of those models, and check them against the available evidence while doing their best to procure and evaluate new evidence. It's not fundamentally dissimilar from what, say, particle physicists do. The raw materials are different and so the research toolkit necessarily reflects those differences, but serious fields of intellectual inquiry all resemble each other in these fundamental ways.

Since you mentioned Q particularly, I remember the college course in which I learned about it was using Stevan Davies' New Testament Fundamentals, which my college-aged self was able to come to grips with pretty readily. For me that answers the question of "how do they prove that to anyone who's not a specialist" — they can publish a (relatively slim!) undergraduate textbook that incorporates the theory.
It's not like Core arch was some radical new design. It's mostly just reverting to the evolution of PIII (which itself is mostly a minor evolution of the Pentium Pro).

That IMHO is a likely scenario, not that the outbreak was intentional (reptiles!) or engineered (secret technology!), but escaped from a lab that had been previously criticized for lax security.

One has to take into account that a global pandemic started just 800 meters away in a wet market in the heart of an 11-million metropolis. It could've been anywhere but it happened right next to the facility that was set up to collect and study viruses that could be dangerous to people.

One strange coincidence that is hard to assess is that the physician who first reported unusual cases of pneumonia-like infections, Li Wenliang, was an ophthalmologist; it just so happens that in the 2nd story of the Wuhan Huanan wet market (武汉华南海鲜批发市场) is a wholesale opticians' market (Huanan Glasses Wholesale City, 华南眼镜批发城).

You can do live streaming directly now
You can upload videos of multiple hours with subtitles and chapters.

That's the issue - you can not run Big Sur on macOS 14 on an ARM Mac - from what I know, this is only possible on an Intel machine.
Perhaps also on the very first M1 Macs, though I'm not sure about that one.
Or am I wrong?
Maybe operational costs are lower? Land, workforce, power...
Not only in China, Valve for example develops VACnet. For now it's not really that useful, which kinda gets amplified by banning in waves, to make it harder for cheat developers to adapt early, but keeps cheaters playing for longer.

Gonna keep an eye on it, but I'm not to sure if it'll be the solution to this issue...
> Another example of this: managed vs unmanaged routers

Do you mean something like Amazon eero vs generic OpenWRT routers? Eero has a few different hardware editions, usually segmented by WiFi speed. They also have a monthly subscription for additional software features. Presumably they make most of their revenue from subscriptions, with a small margin on the router hardware.

Companies like 1Password must be having a bad day. They have previously been held back by Apple, resulting in a poor user experience on iOS. And now Cupertino is entering into direct competition. Let’s see if Apple reaches feature parity and in particular, actually offers decent cross-platform support.

SMS is sent in some leftover space in the mobile data channel, there's very little verification to that up until relatively recent standards.

If you can pretend to be a 2G/3G tower and jam the real tower, you can force phones to connect to you and you can send whatever calls and texts you want.

This is mostly a 2G issue. Modern Android devices, and perhaps iOS devices, have a toggle to disable 2G for this reason.

With fully compliant 5G, even police IMSI catchers become pretty difficult to use.
Yeah if you run a private antenna either the police or some men from your country's equivalent to FCC will come to your door and politely ask you to stop, if they are having a good day, most likely confiscate some of the equipment as well. And that's just for emitting anything on reserved spectrum or with too much power, not even for crime.
I’m not your target market, but I found all this very confusing.

You’re replacing a virtual assistant (virtual meaning a remote worker), with a virtual assistant (a name I’d give to something like Siri, Google Assistant, or some kind of AI). Am I getting that right? I had to read between the lines to figure out what virtual assistant you were removing, while also selling a virtual assistant.

Then I went to the website and the hero text made it sound like it was an AI telemarketer, doing sales calls to generate leads. Which seems different than a generic virtual assistant.

Beyond the confusion, I’m very skeptical of any AI product claiming 100% accuracy. It may be worth re-working some of this.
It's a pretty fun party fact that by the time the last mammoths died out, the Great Pyramid was already 1500 years old :)

It gives me a lot of hope for revival projects that there's relatively 'young' dna to be found. Of course the reduced range towards the end probably means there's not many of these recent sources to source it from, but still!
After-WW2 development has been largely the same everywhere - more cars, wider roads, etc. Also in Europe and Japan cities an neighbourhoods that were built after WW2 are often very hostile to pedestrians while those built before are walkable.

The biggest cities of Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, etc.) are pretty historical and thus are walkable. However, where I live - Finland that is - much of the country has been built in the past century and is designed for cars. However, in the past decade or two the trend has changed again and the very new neighbourhoods again feel like 100+ year old neighbourhoods in terms of walkability.
I can't recommend books but here are a couple of other good phrases to search with, or just to discuss with one of the sparkier LLMs, which tend to find this topic quite interesting:

1. cross-scale interaction

2. downward causation

Would be happy to learn of other terms too.
This is the bell curve meme. People just want the things that work for them, people that know what they are doing want things that work easily and know their way around a little better too.

You're overblowing the harmfulness, I'm not even sure what the argument is.

I'd be interested to know what is your thoughts about using xcode only for Mac dev?

Is are you ideating a plugin instead of the Xcode app? Or perhaps do you want to eliminate all Apple apis, so there is no need for Xcode?

When I grew up we were a lot on the streets but there was simply nothing else to do, for better or for worse. I mean "no screens" wasn't a policy which got dropped, it was just the way it was. So maybe we're also having some nostalgia in this discussion: "in my times" looks always rosier than it actually was.
Interesting question! From the Dendrochronology article on Wikipedia it seems we can at most go 14k years into the past with tree rings:

> Bard et al write in 2023: "The oldest tree-ring series are known as floating since, while their constituent rings can be counted to create a relative internal chronology, they cannot be dendro-matched with the main Holocene absolute chronology. However, 14C analyses performed at high resolution on overlapped absolute and floating tree-rings series enable one to link them almost absolutely and hence to extend the calibration on annual tree rings until ≈13 900 cal yr BP."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendrochronology?wprov=sfti1#C...

Interestingly it seems that tree ring chronologies can be mapped to increases in cosmic radiation named "Miyake events".

Me neither. But companies (and people) aren’t perfect. Your situation can change any day.

I just wanted Passwords to be its own app because the Settings applet(?) is obnoxious to interact with in some scenarios. My passwords are already all in there.

Now, I use a Windows laptop too and would love for Apple to make the Passwords thing work there too. It probably won't :)
It appears you take "on Linux" as "on Windows on Linux", which is not the same

The way you're interpreting things must mean you think all software is compatible with every operating system

Reread my messages please :)
No, I mean like companies like Linksys that have product lines with model names that all just look like "N-port network switch, [un]managed" for different prices, that are only differentiated by the number of ports and what firmware is installed on them.

In these product lines, not only do the managed switches cost more than their unmanaged equivalents, but you also only get the option for a managed switch after a certain number of ports.
What you're describing is inflation, not a zero-sum game. The price of something is not the same as its value. If you have a fixed amount of somethings but their price is increasing, that's inflation in a zero-sum game. But there isn't fundamentally a fixed amount of housing; it's just that in many markets, the amount of housing isn't growing fast enough to seem like it isn't a fixed amount. But changes to laws and policies could start to increase the amount of housing.
It can be profitable to be innovative in my opinion.
That one? TIL

So AIUI no Linux? (vested interest as that would be my use case)

> However, it’s a bit annoying since you need to authenticate each new browser session with MFA

Well I'd be annoyed if iCloud-stored passwords weren't protected by MFA.

Tangent: I wish the EU would crack down on behemoths that borderline on being utility providers to publish protocol docs on grounds of:

a) auditability

b) interoperability

One can dream...
Because the interviewers themselves typically have wide latitude to select the actual question, no, I don't think such a thing can be claimed. But I'd say the majority of questions asked are reasonable ones that can plausibly be solved in the timeframe and the majority of interviewers I've observed from that side of the table have not expected perfection or wanted their candidates to fail.
Agreed, It's just a bubble.
I have a feeling now a days these bubbles are intentionally created to scam investors out of their money.
iPhone XR was released in 2018, and I got mine in 2019. It will still be supported by iOS 18, which is being released in 2024.

5-6 years of fully functioning hardware with official OS updates is much better than the Android phones I had before it.

Further note, fully agreed on the nearly cartoonish evil of the Nazis. I can't really think of another political system that took things to such deliberate extremes in the rest of known, relatively modern history. The closest anyone comes might be Stalin, or maybe the Khmer Rouge under Pol Pot, but even these examples don't quite match the sheer open viciousness of Nazi policies and practice.
I think he has a nice pragmatic view on things. I’m EU enterprise we basically view things like picking cloud providers as a question of who we want to spy on us. Typically it comes down to AWS or Azure if you’re pocking a “everything included” service. That being said, I’m not really sure I’m on board with this part:

> As security folks we probably need to get used to that fact, and do the best we can to make sure all parts are secure.

Isn’t that sort of where the pragmatism ends? All the parts aren’t going to be secure… Unless I misunderstood his intention, I think the conclusion should be more along the lines of approaching the cloud without trust.

I'd rather Meta just clearly stated if they require domain ownership verification when spoofing links. Lack of this (or similarly effective) protection mechanism enables automated link fraud.

Reminder for adtech company employees in this thread: If you suspect a crime has taken place (e.g. if you have seen internal documentation showing that potential profit outweighed the security benefit of actually enforcing a policy), you can blow the whistle to regulators.
Punctuated equilibrium is not about higher mutation rates or even faster evolution, but about long periods of _stasis_ interrupted by "normal rate" evolution due to an upset in the equilibrium such as a sudden geographic isolation of two populations.

> Plus, I sincerely believe Google is 'too big to fail'

Google might be too big to fail (I don't think so, but could be wrong).

The flip side of that is that google is too big to care. We all know from countless reports that they will evaporate your google account and everything ever associated with it, for no reason at all and zero chance of you ever being able to reach anyone to fix it.

I can't see why anyone would risk anything of value to such a platform that can destroy all your content at any second for no reason with no warning.

That's a good question, I really don't know. I'll try to read a bit this weekend, thank you.
I'm trying to imagine how their reference point - "standard yard" - looks like. Do they mean a field of just trimmed grass and nothing else?

My daughter's daycare has trees, shrubs, flowers etc. with birds, insects and whatnot. People still get allergies (even to nuts, which was unheard of 30 years ago).

I mean, this study is useful and I can't imagine letting kids out to play in a boring landscape, but I wouldn't hold out hope for this being a significant factor in the development of allergies.
Multiplayer games all have some kind of anti-cheat, or they have cheater dominated servers. Unfortunately I don't know any easy data source to find out the kind of anti-cheat games use. Sometimes the Steam page has details on it.

I suggest compartmentalization for games, for example a dedicated gaming machine. That way, anti-cheat doesn't have much to take over. You can connect it to guest wifi, so that it doesn't see the LAN either.
Why is sms such a crappy protocol that this is even possible?
There is no way they would secretly train loras in the background of their user's phones. The benefits are small compared to the many potential problems.
They describe some LoRA training infrastructure which is likely using the same capacity as they used to train the base models.

> ...each LoRA gets fine-tuned per user...

Apple would not implement these sophisticated user specific LoRA training techniques without mentioning them anywhere. No big player has done anything like this and Apple would want the credit for this innovation.
I see this argument all the time, and they always miss one key thing.

The comparison is made is 'Can AI take over X, and do as good as a job as someone who's good at X'. But I think the reality is that these products aren't coming after the ones that are doing 'great work'.

There's tons of mediocre software being written and in many cases mediocre is kind of good enough. I think it's going to empower people who _aren't_ thoughtful and they'll be more productive than ever.

So my prediction is that companies will start trusting this black box, because it's cheap and fast. I also think a quality crisis in many fields is inevitable. We're already seeing this a bunch in very obvious ways, but its way more scary when the models are better and the errors are subtle.
Could you recommend an article or Apple web page listing those additions? Or name some here?

Mark Gurman, long-time Apple journalist, didn't find any iPad-specific features, beyond AI/LLM features coming to all Apple platforms. Here's another article that lists "everything" announced at WWDC, which doesn't list any new iPad features, other than AI/LLM, https://techcrunch.com/2024/06/10/everything-apple-announced...
Show HN: Just built another Linktree alternative (for online shop owners)
We wanted a simpler, cheaper, and easier-to-use solution, so we built this product.
> This has nothing to do with streaks or dopamine rushes or pleasing managers. This is about getting stuff done. To me, a developer who can't figure out ways to be productive by contributing tiny commits spread over time is a developer who is wasting space in a team.

This totally discounts any work that does not result in commits, such as requirements analysis, legacy code analysis, or code that results in insights but won't be merged.

But then, anyone who knows how incredibly valuable such work is will likely not want to argue whether they are "wasting space in a team" either, and leave on their part when confronted with such claims.
What makes you think that internal access control at Apple is any better than Google's, Microsoft's or OpenAI's? Google employees have long reported that you can't access user data with standard credentials, for example.

Also, what makes you think that Apple's investments on chip design and OS is superior to Google's? Google is known for OpenTitan and other in-house silicon projects. It's also been working in secure enclave tech (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20265625), which has been open-source for years.

You're making unverifiable claims about Apple's actual implementation of the technical systems and policies it is marketing. Apple also sells ads (App Store, but other surfaces as well) and you don't have evidence that your AI data is not being used to target you. Conversely, not all user data is used by Google for ad targeting.
SMS isn't a protocol. Attacks like these are done via 2G. Which is really why most people should disable it if they can.
