Have you tried using the Files app for image/file transfers? You can add Samba (and other) shares in there by tapping the '...' in the upper-right corner, hitting 'Connect to Server', then inputting your local server's address and connecting. I use this not just for photos, but for transferring various files and docs to/from my phone/home server.

You mentioned not wanting to mass-select 2000+ photos. If the photos you're uploading fall within a certain date range, you can open the Photos app, search for the date range of photos you want to upload (e.g. "April 20 2024 to today", or "sept 21 2018 to mar 2020"). It'll return photos taken in that date range, where you can tap 'See All', then 'Select' > 'Select All' at the top of the screen. Then you can hit the 'Share' dialogue and upload to your server through Files without having to scroll and select tons of individual pics. Keep in mind that you can't use a '-' in place of the word 'to' when specifying a date range for some reason.

If your images are family memories, you might be interested in Immich[1] (if you're open to making changes to your photo storage setup). Stand up and configure the local server, install the smartphone app, enable automatic sync, and it'll automatically upload new photos from your phone when you open the Immich app. No need for you to manually keep track of your photo syncs. Built to be a local Google Photos replacement. Has features like shared albums, face recognition/person naming, smart search, etc. AI tasks, like everything else, are done entirely locally. It's a nice piece of software, and lots of people (including privacy advocate Louis Rossmann) vouch for it.

We are having the hard talk. Have you not noticed the populist facist uprising?
The mood in Poland seems to be even more hysterical than in Germany. Morawiecki was voted out of office, but Tusk and in particular Sikorski are not relaxed as well.

Macron is getting more and more crazy. This does not stop fascists. What's happening in Europe? Calm down.
It's not a huge benefit because they are simpler; they are usually
equivalent to the old standard. The benefit comes from newer standards
being a lot more precise.

e.g. HTML4 did not specify what to do with invalid markup, which makes
writing a conformant parser easier. In practice, many websites weren't
valid HTML4, so you had to reverse engineer whatever the other parsers
did with invalid markup.

HTML5 doesn't really have a formal grammar, it's specified as an
imperative tokenizer and parser. It actually takes somewhat longer to
implement than HTML4, but it doesn't suffer from compatibility issues.

OTOH there are new problems with the "modern" standards that old ones
did not have:

* It's unversioned, updated pretty much daily; insert walking on water
quote[0].
Random example: I added support for the (ancient) document.write API
to my browser a few months ago. Recently I looked at the standard
again, and it turns out my implementation is outdated, because there's
a new type of object in the standard that must be special cased. Many
similar cases; this particular one I don't mind, but it shows how hard
it is to just stay fully compliant.

* It's gigantic and bloated, full of things nobody ever uses. If
something gets into the standard, it typically won't ever get removed,
and WHATWG has operated under this policy for more than a decade. So
implementing it from start to end takes way too long, and the best
strategy to get something useful is to "just" implement features that
websites you use will need.

* Above is the WHATWG model, which applies for HTML and DOM, but not
CSS. The W3C model (used in CSS) has versioning, but they broke it in
a different way: there is no comprehensive "CSS 3 standard", just a
bunch of modules haphazardly building on top of each other and
CSS 2. Plus it's much less precise than the HTML standard, with basic
parts left entirely unspecified for decades. See the table module[1],
or things like this[2].

Show HN: Stock trading game that spoofs Bloomberg Terminal
On one hand, it's a spoof of the Terminal's aesthetics that you don't see often nowadays. On the other hand, it's a test of how interested you are in optimizing the game. Maybe it tells you whether you'd like quant.

p.s. Bloomberg has its own trading game that's perhaps much more educational and realistic @ https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2015-stock-chart-trading-...
There are some biographical glimpses of Hugh Everett's family life in his son's autobiography, "Things the Grandchildren Should Know" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Things_the_Grandchildren_Shoul...

The son, Mark Oliver Everett, is better known as E, the leader of the Eels.
I think this one has new patches instead of just repackaging / rehosting the MS ones. Also the wording makes it sound like this is an analogue of the Linux "live kernel patch" model but for Windows.
TFA is nothing short of amazing and absolutely deserves attention.

The author (and his brother) built (from scratch!) a side-scan sonar remote controlled boat and an ROV (a remote controlled submersible) with a camera and a light, and with this they found TWO missing persons' cars under water. Real products of these sorts would have cost enormous amounts of money, but they built their own for the cost of parts and labor (sure, lots of labor). They did this on a lark.
Where would you suggest buying from instead?
My increasing feeling is that the patients' purpose is to provide input for paperwork that gives exuse to write payslips. The patients are for the system, not the other way around. The patients are wrapped around (bounced around, jumped through hoops, etc) the system's needs, not the system is formed around the needs of the patients. All is organized so the system's resources can be used the most optimal way (all hail the St. Key Performance Indicator!). Meanwhile if some curing happens, that's an acceptable byproduct.
Here's a system that uses an llm to generate equivalence proofs for refactoring operations.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40634775

In this system, the llm can hallucinate to its hearts content - the hallucinations are then fed into a proof engine and if they are a valid proof then it wasn't a hallucination, and the computation succeeds. If it fails it just tries again. So hallucinations cannot actually leave the system, and all we get are valid refactorings with working proofs of validity.

Binding the LLM to a formal logic and proof engine is one way to stop them hallucinating and make them useful for the real world.

But you would have to actually care about Proof and Truth to concede any point here. If you're only protecting the worldview where AI can never do things that humans can do, then you're going to have to retreat into some form of denial. But if you are interested in actual ways forward to useful AI, then results like this should give you some hope!

Good luck and good day either way!
That would be great indeed. I’ve sayed this a few times, but i believe swift’s only chance to become mainstream is now, and only by growing outside of apple.
Aside from the search and Siri improvements, I'm really not sure about the usefulness of all the generative stuff Apple is suggesting we might use here.

If you spend an hour drawing a picture for someone for their birthday and send it to them, a great deal of the value to them is not in the quality of the picture but in the fact that you went to the effort, and that it's something unique only you could produce for them by giving your time. The work is more satisfying to the creator as well - if you've ever used something you built yourself that you're proud of vs. something you bought you must have felt this. The AI image that Tania generated in a few seconds might be fun the first time, but quickly becomes just spam filling most of a page of conversation, adding nothing.

If you make up a bedtime story for your child, starring them, with the things they're interested in, a great deal of the value to them is not in the quality of the story but... same thing as above. I don't think Apple's idea of reading an AI story off your phone instead is going to have the same impact.

In a world where you can have anything the value of everything is nothing.
“With onscreen awareness, Siri will be able to understand and take action with users’ content in more apps over time. For example, if a friend texts a user their new address in Messages, the receiver can say, “Add this address to his contact card.””

Little annoyances like this being fixed would be great. “Open the address on this page in google maps” better work :)
Looking at some of the links, many of the ones I looked at go to publishers, universities and what look like official websites for the books, so it may be worth taking a look at the list, and maybe checking where the link goes to.

New Zealand is a major milk exporter, some countries pay a premium for our milk.

And yet the milk we locals buy in the supermarket (which I am sure is the same as our exports) is milk that has been divided into its core elements (fat sugar protein) and the recombined in a certain ratio.

New Zealand milk does not come from a cow, and I would think PA dirt baseball fields do not come from the ground, but rather PA has the right raw ingredients at hand.

On a side now people here pay a premium for “raw milk” (unpasteurised straight from a cow).
I think very few people commit suicide by driving a car into a river.
As for government - depends on a country. In Poland we have an mCitizen (mObywatel) mobile app that allows to handle more things tear by year, and we have internet sites with unified citizen login for most of the other government interactions.

The last time our IRS wanted sth from me, they just e-mailed me, I replied and the issue was solved in 5 minutes.

Oh, and you don’t need any paper ids within the country - driver license, car registration and official citizen id are apps on your phone, and if you don’t have your phone when say police catches you, you give them your data and they check it with their database and with your photo to confirm.
I'm not exactly sure what your point is, but it's even stronger when you include F'66 on that list.
Weird. I bought a used car in Canada last week, and paid about two thirds by check, and the rest in cash, with a bit also on a credit card, just to collect points. Cash is still good in Canada, at least for the moment. It remains popular because the TAXES ARE TOO DAMN HIGH. There, I said it.

Fascinating. I am curious, what other games do you all think this could be extended to and still remains fun? Connect Four seems like a natural extension to me. I'd love to see some of these dynamics in Battleship.
In the sense that a pawn that's in the perfect position can strike while it is "passing", but if that doesn't happen then it finishes the move and it's too late, the opportunity is gone forever.
Fun video. An interesting follow up would to do this would be to ‘disambiguate’ every move, such that a move was a single piece’s movement and reflected less of the state of the game.

If you're curious, iSH's source is public: https://github.com/ish-app/ish

You're correct that there is no Linux kernel emulation. They went with reimplementation for that. However, the userland is very much emulated x86 binaries. You can even compile your own C code inside iSH and run it. When you syscall, control passes from the threaded code[0] interpreter into the Linux reimplementation.

The reason why they aren't shipping Debian is that the threaded code technique being used as a JIT substitute in both iSH and UTM SE is far too slow to run a full Debian derivative. Believe me, I tried installing Ubuntu on UTM SE and it took literal hours and flattened my iPad battery in the process. iSH uses Alpine Linux because it's very lightweight[1].

As far as I'm aware there's no secret deal with Apple to lock iSH down. The only limitations I've ran into have to do with MySQL, which wants unaligned atomics, which you can't do on ARM64 without compromising the performance of the emulator. I actually had a discussion with the developer of iSH about this and put in a PR to make MySQL stop crashing iSH.

[1] So lightweight it doesn't even ship anything GNU, making it one of the few genuine "Linux distros" with no slash or plus or "I would just like to interject"
IMO these statements contradict themselves:

> Idempotency refers to the ability of an operation to be performed multiple times whilst still yielding the same outcome

and

> The issue with the above code is that if the event is processed twice the EmailService will send a duplicate email.

In other words, the operation (three lines of code) yields the same result (sending an email) after repeated execution, and thus is idempotent isnt it?
Or is the point that idempotency is harmful in this case?
That’s not possible yet, moving atoms is much more difficult than moving bits.
Idempotency: the ability to be able to hit Ctrl+C several times in a row, just to be sure.
Apple Mail has been able to detect appointments and reservations from email for years, just like Gmail -- and at least in my experience, Apple Mail pulls more useful information out of the mail when it creates the calendar entry. What they showed today is, in theory, something different. (I presume the difference is integrating it into the Siri assistant, not the mail application.)
yeah somehow it reminded me of the fb integration too. we‘ll see how well it works in practice. i was hoping for them to show the sky demo with the new voice mode that openai recently demoed

I am 11 years sober now. I used to self medicate with alcohol and drugs. It worked but it also stunted me in ways that I am only now reckoning with. There are a ton of options out there for you to try these days. I'd recommend discussing with a medical professional and see what your options are. :)

Regardless, if you are struggling with ADHD, I would recommend going on youtube and looking at videos by a guy named Russell Barkley. He's got a bunch and wow did I feel seen after watching a few of them.

Cooking with Wool [video]
> fast food

> everyday needs

The cost of a lot of things, dining out in particular, were kept in check for decades because wages for labor were suppressed. The true costs of "everyday needs" were borne by labor to the benefit of the consumer (and arguably, the business owner).

Now that we can't cheaply exploit labor post pandemic, costs for the consumer are going up. The rising incomes at the bottom rungs of the economic ladder, alongside rapidly (and long-running) spiking costs of real estate, are squeezing consumers as they buy groceries, gas, and yes, fast food.

Putting the brakes on the costs of those is probably going to look like squeezing wages on low income workers once more.
Private Cloud Compute: A new frontier for AI privacy in the cloud
I was remarking about core language features (the runtime, import resolution, the runtime type system, packaging, C extensions, etc). I was absolutely not talking about proficiency with the standard library in either case.
Apologies for being critical, but this reads like the author had a conclusion they wanted to reach and worked backward to some flashy graphs to make it work (the right side of the "lies, damn lies, and statistics" spectrum).

There is no discussion of confounders, no control groups or paired studies, and there are million things correlated with the last 50 of societal development years besides the topics mentioned here. The mention of phones and other influences in teen behavior is completely unrelated to the main point in the discussion and just serves to provide credibility by association.

All in all, this is not science, it is just a reductionist oped presented as fact using classic internet hooks.
The OP refers to the fact that “en passant” is french for “in passing”, so the move sort-of refers to the idea that the pawn takes the other pawn while it is passing through the third or seventh row, as if the capture starts while the previous move still is in progress.

Also, the pawn can’t deliver checkmate, can it, if it can be taken en passant? It probably is possible to construct a position where taking en passant would bring the king into check in another way, but in those cases, the en passant move isn’t possible.
> In other words, the operation (three lines of code) yields the same result (sending an email) after repeated execution, and thus is idempotent isnt it?

The meaning here is: after the operation is performed at least one time, exactly ONE mail is sent. Note the part "at least one time": it can be one, two, or more.
Wouldn’t it be like everything else, default keyboard shortcuts that can be easily overridden? Personally I hope they go with rectangle’s CTRL+OPT just because it’s seared into my muscle memory now

Pretty ridiculous controversy. Opt-in feature, disabled until you paste your own OpenAI API key on it.
People should just use a sufficiently complex, memorized, password for their money/identity, and then a (mental) algorithm that allows deriving unique passwords for other services that are less important.

Only have to memorize 2-3 strings and more secure than a password manager since there's no third party in the loop.

Password Managers are a huge man-in-the-middle and liability in other regards (e.g. you don't have it present on a given device or on hand).

SSO from a single set of credentials is a much better solution. Multi-factor biometrics even better (outside of PII sensitivities)
> Let's break this down since you seem confused. I am arguing here that your specific claim that you need this level of control to make a fair video game fails on its merits.

No, I'm not confused. You're just very simply wrong. No question about it, it's not a matter of subjectivity, you are 100% absolutely unequivocally incorrect on this issue.

I can only assume at this point you are incredibly stubborn. You clearly have a lack of experience and knowledge in this area, yet you are doubling down on your position, despite it being trivially shown to be false by numerous real world examples and very basic, irrefutable facts and logic.

But you're the type of person who thinks that you're right no matter what, and that all these game developers must just be inept, right? I feel that I've already wasted time pointing out you are wrong and I'm not interested in an is-not/is-too argument with someone that would rather write essays and argue semantics than have the basic decency to admit they have no clue about what they are talking about. No one's even reading this discussion anymore, is your ego really so great?

I won't be continuing this convo, but feel free to have the last word. Good luck.
Agreed that “science accepts their ideas” is a mischaracterization (indeed Everett annd Bohm are probably mutually exclusive so couldn’t both be “accepted”). Better to say that the community now takes both seriously as contenders for a completion of quantum mechanics.

I deliberately say “completion”, not “interpretation” since, without further elaboration, Copenhagen quantum mechanics is only a piece of a model.
Did they touch on any AI features that might be able to help me create shortcuts? I really like them, but hate creating them with the kludgy block-based diagrams.
