Some of my biggest breakthroughs have been far away from a computer, but I can easily understand where the OP is coming from: give yourself a chance to make tangible contribution each day, and maybe it snowballs into something more.

Maybe it doesn't and that's ok, but at least give yourself the chance for it to.

(It also says something to read the OP and not be able to imagine any interpretation other than "they just don't understand how work is done")

The bottom 5 don't really need updates and if Android tablets are anything to go by (looking at you Nexus 10) arguably will work better running on top Apple software instead of whatever half baked garbage gets dumped out of the major distros or "custom rom" makers.

For web browsing, a nine year old tablet will arguably be slow as molasses for the content that would be on the web nine years from now. We have seen this with using old desktop computers to browse the web.

Your argument is pretty weak. There is a whole lot of work to make this happen among not only Apple but the OSS community for almost no gain. The community's time time would be better spent getting fundamentals of Linux Desktop working well so that maybe one day in our lives it really will be the Year of the Linux Desktop™.

> I don't know why chomsky's beliefs and supported causes are so inconsistent with the morals he pushes

The obvious resolution to that paradox is either you don't understand Chomsky's morals or have mistaken what his beliefs are.

Judging by some random interview from 2022 [0] it looks like he has a position on Russia/Ukraine that is easy to defend. He describes it as a "principled, internationalist, anti-imperialist left response" and that seems like a fair assessment from what I'm reading. Looks like pretty standard fare for anyone who doesn't like war and propaganda.

I love the idea, pricing and open source nature of Bitwarden, but it's only good if you haven't used 1Password. Personally I was very critical about 1Passwords migration to Electron, but it has been really good to be honest. My assumption was that they had dropped the Electron plans, because I absolutely did not notice the change.

Bitwarden still fails to correctly identify basic username/password fields, but 1Password gets it right every single time.
Here's your monthly reminder that despite the large place he occupies in the "sciency" cultural landscape, a lot of his work has been debunked and he has not gone back on his genocide-denying claims about Serbia.

Thing is, Apple takes these concepts and polishes them, makes them accessible to maybe not laypeople but definitely a much wider audience compared to those already "in the industry", so to speak.
The only thing one should care about is to speak in your own voice. All these MBA cookie cutter slide deck presentation styles that introduce phrases or 3 part structures just mean you're on autopilot. I find nothing more off-putting than hearing someone give a talk and you can precisely pinpoint where they just start to borrow phrases or go down some generic list of items.

So, all they had to work from was a black-and-white photograph and a detailed breakdown of how exactly the machine was built and worked?

EDIT: TFA mentions later on that it was an IP patent, with no engineering drawings, that makes more sense.

> You must be trolling and not evaluating either on their current state

I'm not trolling, are you projecting?

You don't seem to understand the difference between Rust trait and C# interface, and confuse extension methods for `impl` blocks.

I'm evaluating on the current state of the LANGUAGE, not the LIBRARIES. Likewise, I do this because language syntax changes tend to be much slower than libraries.

Think of it this way: In one year or twenty, Java and C# will have GC, while Rust will not (at least not by default), versus C# having Portable SIMD and Java and Rust not having it atm. I'm searching for truths that hold for as long as possible.

> Please write an efficient text element scanner that uses all AVX512 you can easily do that in C#, it's impossible to do it in Java alone.

You can use the Vector API (see https://openjdk.org/jeps/469). See what I mean, when I say talking about something that's unlikely to change?

If you were using older versions of Java you would abuse primitive types/ Unsafe package to get extra performance, and yes, dip into JNI if you really need some SIMD tricks.

Yes, please tell me more about Span/ReadOnlySpan C# it's not like I wrote a parser (re)using them ad infinitum... /sarcasm

The problem with C# and low-level coding, is that in GC-free C# land, you're on your own. Libraries are missing (i.e. they allocate a lot) or proprietary, Nullable is a horrible compromise, and C# enums are a joke compared to ADTs.
Interesting, I am doing exactly the same thing with GrapheneOS and never had a problem. If you have a Pixel, I would strongly recommend to consider Graphene a degoogling it. You can also install via Fdroid or Obtainium and I don't see how their apps could be supported in Google Play
That makes sense and I'm sorry for snapping at you.
> exact same thing that's running on the cloud servers

What runs on the servers isn't actually very important. Why? Becuase even if you could somehow know with 100% certainty that what a server runs is the same code you can see, any provider is still subject to all kinds of court orders.

What matters is the client code. If you can audit the client code (or better yet, build your own compatible client based on API specs) then you know for sure what the server side sees. If everything is encrypted locally with keys only you control, it doesn't matter what runs on the server.
I agree with your points.

Show HN: I combined gpt4 and tailwind to create a website builder for developers
Hey HN,

As a freelance web developer, I've been on the lookout for the perfect static site generator that prioritizes modern design, lightning-fast loading speed, and complete code ownership. I've grown increasingly frustrated with the limitations of popular website builders like Webflow and Framer. Sure, they make the design process easier, but when it comes to having full control over the source code and customizing every little detail, they just don't cut it. I was tired of being locked into walled gardens and dealing with bloated frameworks just to display a simple site.
That's why I created InstaWebAI – a static site generator that harnesses the power of AI and Tailwind CSS to create stunning, responsive websites without the unnecessary baggage.

With InstaWebAI, you can:

Generate blazing-fast static sites from simple text input
Enjoy a modern, sleek design right out of the box
Customize every aspect of your site using Tailwind CSS
Export your code and host it anywhere, ensuring complete control
Benefit from a lightweight, self-contained solution without relying on external frameworks

As a solo founder, I built InstaWebAI to address my own frustrations and needs as a developer. But I quickly realized that many of my fellow devs were facing the same challenges. InstaWebAI is designed to make your life easier, whether you're building a personal portfolio, a client project, or a complex web application.
If you're a developer who values speed, control, and modern design, give InstaWebAI a try.
I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and suggestions. Your input is crucial in shaping the future of InstaWebAI and making it the go-to static site generator for developers like us.
Thanks for checking out my project!
Cheers,
Brian
Founder of InstaWebAI
True! But starting age 5 with a nice (and costly) album print you can go a long way. They eventually start caring for things as well, at some point... maybe :)
Many people in this thread are extremely cynical and also ignorant of the actual security guarantees. If you don’t think Apple is doing what they say they’re doing, you can go audit the code and prove it doesn’t work. Apple is open sourcing all of it to prove it’s secure and private. If you don’t believe them, the code is right there.
I mean if you want another perspective you can simple Wikipedia "American Empire". It'll be simple enough for another view of current state of affairs without going into politically motivated alternative history, either from communists or from milton friedman fans.

It annoys me to no end that both right wingers and left wingers like so much to tell history how it's convenient to them and always hard to get something unbiased. Even numbers of deaths can't be trusted before you check who you are reading.
Out of curiosity, what do you think should be done to mitigate the climate issue?

I personally believe in engineering solutions that are better than the current solutions. With the collapse in prices for EVs, I am drooling over these super cheap electric cars and hope to one day have a backup used car just for fun trips around town. Or maybe just pick up a single long range EV for a little bit more. Right now the repair market is still in its early stages but its getting there. I dream of owning a single EV model that lasts me for 30 years powered by solar. Plus the cost of electricity is trending towards 0. I am always trying to find ways to swap out my lifestyle with something more efficient. Am I an outlier, yes but I see technical solutions coming to the mass market and I remain optimistic a tiny bit.

Yeah they made the classic mistake of writing an article using the kind of manipulative rhetoric that typically works on 100 IQ people, and then sharing it with Hacker News.
Chomsky was doing so many podcasts up to the moment he disappeared from the radar presumably due to medical issues. I've seen him going for 2 hours with some nobody with 5K followers, being asked juvenile and stupid questions and answering with the patient of a Saint. He looked quite diminished physically, elderly and frail but mentally he's always sharp and his recall and memory is scary.

I feel that in his later years he made a conscious effort to talk to young people and made them aware of the history and depth of the problems the world is facing, and he used very modern avenues to do so, like podcast interviews. I will always have the highest degree of respect for this man and an admiration for his integrity, sensitivity and scholarship.
Thank you very much for sharing this, and the accompanying documentation. I had no idea that Ireland had such a system in place. It seems really elegant and efficient, and better than say the Condorcet voting method. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_method)
I strongly recommend a series of books called "D-Day Through German Eyes" that narrates the experience of the seaborne invasion through the translated narratives of German soldiers. One theme that comes up again and again is their sheer demoralizing shock at seeing just how colossal the armada confronting "their" beaches was.

Despite this, because of the harsh sense of discipline inherent to the German Army during the war, they fought remarkably hard against the still largely inexperienced allied western soldiers and made the first weeks after the D-Day landings much harder then they should have been for the Anglo/British/Canadian and sundry forces.
This right here is the truth. Yes, there's all the of the other stuff -- "requirements", etc -- but in reality, as an IC, we're here to push code and review code. All of the requirements stuff comes on top of that. (In my experience, the people who aren't pushing or reviewing code are _also_ not doing the other stuff either.)

Remember, commenting on PRs counts as activity. That's PR review -- that's doing something, and potentially a _lot_ of something. Big long stretches of empty space on Github is absolutely a red flag, until you get into the highest levels of IC seniority and are mostly in meetings all day.

It is extremely easy to do nothing at all as a software engineer, when there is so much stuff to do any given day. It's easy to get defensive when faced with such privilege.
That is the option for the audio itself. The transcripts of the audio (you do know what transcripts are, right?) are always sent to apple as per their privacy policy.

"When you use Siri, your device will indicate in Siri Settings if the things you say are processed on your device and not sent to Siri servers. Otherwise, your voice inputs are sent to and processed on Siri servers. In all cases, transcripts of your interactions will be sent to Apple to process your requests."

It's pretty clear and not in dispute that your transcripts are always sent to Apple.
Thanks for pointing that out, str slice is surely better. I returned String in all versions just because collect() returns A String and I want to reuse the same test function. Will update this later.

not just mindsets, but the computing power available. These days, my smartphone is millions of times more powerful and the computation to do TLS encryption on every website I visit is trivial for a computer that fits in the palm of my hand. Way back when, the 1 or 2 kilobytes or so a modern RSA private key (PEM format) would take up on disk was meaningful when you only had 4 megabytes of RAM and CPUs ran in the megahertz range.
> The interesting point here is that developers targeting the Mac can safely assume that the users will have a processor capable of significant AI/ML workloads

Also that a significant proportion (majority?) of them will have just 8 GB of memory which is not exactly sufficient to run any complex AI/ML workloads.
> There is no feedback from the buttons at all. If I ignore the rest of the screen, I can’t tell if anything is playing or paused. The buttons do not change appearance in any way.

All the more reason to have two buttons. If you want it to be playing, you hit play, if you want it to be paused, you hit pause. Again that sounds like good design - really anything that's meant to be operated while driving ought to be usable without having to look at it.

> it’s not a touch screen. It has a joystick controlled pointer

Ok that sounds like the problem, not the buttons

Prerequisites are heavily aligned with physics / applied math, particularly: thermodynamics, dynamical systems, network theory, and a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary study. All should be approached from a perspective rooted mostly in rigorous information theory.

Would have loved to be a fly on the wall had he been able to do a guest spot at Google recently.

LLMs does have that, or at least it’s very likely that we will eventually be able to manipulate LLMs in a modular way (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40429540). One point remains: humans learn language with much fewer tokens than LLMs need, which suggests presence of a priori knowledge about the world. The LLM metaphor is finetuning, so babies are born with a base model and then finetuned with environment data, but it’s still within LLM scope.
I think this underestimates the problem. Yes it's a people problem, but a game doesn't have the people-means to solve it, it only has technology.

>Anti cheat software because one needs to play with people one does not trust and so attempts to get good behavior from strangers by force.

Same could be said about laws. Goes to show that we don't have it solved it, at all. Every single system that we have has active bad actors in it, with no chance for us to catch them, by any means that we have, technological or not.

To add to this even more, it's not even a people problem, it's an animal problem - some of them also give out fake signals, in order to gain something.
