I watched the beginning of Delicious in Dungeon.
Interesting weird and funny concept, but seemed too shallow and I do not like the overly dramatic anoying way of talking, or rather screaming all the time by the female character (I know it is characteristic to some Anime). But if there is an actual story to be found, I might have to give it another shot..
My thought was that there is too much focus on react when it comes to js development, and catering for interactivity via react adds complexity that often forces the react frameworks adopt. React frameworks are client state first and don’t have mechanisms to keep server state in sync without requiring loads of plumbing. I feel phoenix liveview solves this somewhat elegantly.

Mind elaborating on why react has nothing to do with this?

I appreciate your comment on htmx - I have yet to work with it on a larger scale.
Y'all excuse the question and my ignorance, but ...

... why 2007? What's the cutoff here?
Surveillance is bad, but let's not pretend that all surveillance is equal.

It's much less harmful to be transparently, legally surveilled by your local democratic govt than to be secretly surveilled by an antagonistic authoritarian government in another country.
Don't misunderstand me, I think squatting is a bad thing.

But its worth understanding why it happens, and a major factor is that home costs, to buy or rent, are out of control, which lowers the perceived ethical barrier to doing so.

There will always be that weird self-interested-self-described-"anarchist" who has convinced themselves that "property is oppression" because they don't want to pay for stuff. I'm not proposing anything to address that guy. I'm saying we should do what we can to prevent people from agreeing with that guy in the first place.

And one of the ways to dissuade people from agreeing with the professional squatter is by discouraging the PE-driven fix-and-flip (which is distinct from the small-time fix-and-flip, but only early in the development of that business. Eventually, you're successful enough that it makes more sense to buy cheap, in cash and without financing, hire others to fix at your leisure, and rent. That's the transition from labor-class to capital-holding class).
Business Operations with LLMs: A Path to a Production Ecosystem
I'm including small corporations and startups in this, not just the faceless megacorp. You still have an employer and it's still a corporation even if it's just a half dozen guys who all enjoy each others' company, code up some great stuff, and go out for beers together after the workday.

You have to know yourself well enough to understand what type of environment you want to work in. Some people perform better in startups; some in big multinational corps; some in small mom & pop shops. Some would even do better as independent contractors, although if you're smart you're still an employee of an LLC that you own to shield your professional liability from your personal assets. The dysfunction I'm referring to is in not making a choice, or not having enough definition of the types of work available to understand that you could be very happy at some places but miserable at others.

That is an interesting take, so basically in your opinion the main thing that makes iOS better than Android is that Apple has tighter control over the apps? What I've heard from most iOS users is other things like smoother interface, better battery life, great camera etc. I've never heard "I like iPhone because Apple moderates the App Store" from laymen (i.e. non-HN crowd).
No, not really. Most of the article discusses utf8 encoding which isn’t an “advanced” topic either but I never took the time to learn it.

> who all invariably have “expert python” on their CVs

This is to get around HR filters, where they ask your experience with various tools on a 1-10 scale. If you’re only seeing the “experts” it’s possible the people who used more reasonable assessments of their abilities were simply rejected.
>Nextdoor shares don't look like they did too well under her management.

Isn't it fair to look at share price under their leadership? What other objective measures do we have of their management abilities? We take the OP's word for it that they're the best? Or is this like sports teams recycling the same 30 coaches?
The storyline that “science now accepts their ideas” is questionable editorializing imho. Neither Bohmian mechanics nor many worlds are falsifiable, they are just interpretations. They are cool but they aren’t really something you can reject. And to be honest, an unscientific sample of the physicists I know has the majority basically subscribing to some version of “shut up and calculate”
This needs to be multiplatform for it to be a viable option for the more tech inclined. I run all three major desktop operating systems plus iOS, so I use Bitwarden
It's still a matter of how secure their hardware will be. And there's no warranty they or, rather, the authorities won't snoop.
They need a lot more information about how "Apple Intelligence" actually works. They can't just wave the magic wand and say "some" of the functionality runs in the "private" cloud - we need one single checkbox to say we want the cloud or not and strong guarantees things don't accidentally get cloud-ified.
If you are drawn to research, look at the affiliations of the authors of papers that you like. There are pockets like INRIA, Galois, Tarides, but it really depends on what research you are interested in.
WWDC is today, any major stock price movement is almost certainly due whatever they are announcing.
Lots of apps have been sherlocked once again and this marks the accelerated race to zero with Apple's entrance with on-device AI all system-wide.

No API keys, no prompt engineering or switching between AI models.

It. just. works.
Huh, I was curious about how that was done, and it looks like it's a specialized Java to C++ converter: https://github.com/validator/htmlparser/blob/master/translat....

Looking at the source, it seems pretty easy to find Java programs that wouldn't compile correctly, but of course a fully general Java to C++ converter would be a huge undertaking. I guess with OK test coverage of the generated C++ code (which Firefox certainly has), editing the Java code remains doable.
So, is Apple running a proprietary LLM or are they licensing one from OpenAI, Google, etc?
The first time I encountered an iPhone was on a business trip to Chicago to meet with a vendor. I was working for a large corporation in the LTL transportation space at the time. Before that, I had heard about it but hadn't really spent time researching it.

I'm older now, have more disposable income, and am much more immersed in tech in general.

> I know some people that have VR headsets but nobody, personally, that has the vision pro.

I have a Quest 3, a Pimax Crystal, and a Vision Pro. Of those, I no longer use the Quest 3 - my kids game on it quite a bit, or I'd sell it.

The Pimax Crystal is a great piece of hardware, and works very well for playing PCVR games. I use it for War Thunder (combat flight sim). The software is terrible, but I have it set up to work well with my single use case for it. I'm happy with it based on that.

The Vision Pro is more flexible, and has more utility than the Crystal. It's inferior for gaming to the Quest 3, but not as bad as people seem to be saying it is, and is improving rapidly.

I've gotten the Vision Pro working for PCVR (via ALVR). It's very rough and requires a lot of tinkering to get running, but it works. Honestly, it's about on par with the Crystal in that area, but the Crystal is superior in terms of FOV - and that's very important when you're using it to fly imaginary airplanes in imaginary combat.

> Vision pro is a new product in a market that has little adoption.

I agree. In fact, I think people are making a mistake comparing it directly to things like the Quest line. Yes, it supports many of the same things and has many of the same capabilities. It's targeting a completely different use case, though.

My iPad Pro is more capable hardware-wise than most people's laptops, but it can't do a lot of things a bottom-of-the-barrel laptop can do. That doesn't mean it's worse though, because it's not in competition with those laptops. I have laptops, and still carry my iPad with me and leave the laptops at home most of the time.

> Maybe it is more like the ipad? Or maybe it is just different than any previous apple release.

It's a mix. The produce category is very different, but Apple's approach is pretty consistent. They enter a new market at the very top, implement a few features, and refine them. They don't try to do everything all at once.

As a result, it's not right for everyone. It's only right for people whose use case coincides with the feature set that has been implemented to date. As that feature set expands, so will size of the market.
In this case Azure is responsible for the datacenters, billing, and support.
It's still a matter of how secure their hardware will be. So there's no warranty they or, rather, the authorities won't snoop.
> You see this dynamic play out exactly with rent control. People are (rationally) very reluctant to leave rent controlled apartments

I’m holding onto an apartment now exactly because of this so it really hits with me. Thank you!
It doesn't matter who started. It matters for morality, but you don't even need morality for this. For politics it matters how both sides estimate their chances and what in their opinions the other side will do.

And it's very clear. Both NATO and Russia estimate that NATO won't invade Russia. If you disagree - notice that Russia moved its army from Finnish border to Ukraine after Finland joined NATO. And it moved its army from Kaliningrad (border with Poland and Lithuania) to Ukraine. Russian least militarized borders are those with NATO countries.

If Russia actually thought NATO is going to invade - they would be scared shitless to start anything (because it makes them vulnurable and provides an excuse for intervention). Instead they leave their NATO borders naked because they estimate (correctly) that the last thing NATO wants is a war.

"The balance is in the middle" is a fine way to prove 2+2 is 4.5.

How about setting up a local wiki or Obsidian-type notebook for this? It is much more expressive and there are plenty of plugins that allow embedding of timestamps etc. Easy to copy, backup and share with full control too.
I don't think she's someone to be admired. Being ceo of an app that is IMO rife with bigotry, xenophobia, and scare mongering.
Have you not been following Apple for the last…45+ years?

But it took Apple over two years to sell the first 1 million iPods and the Apple Watch didn’t take off like gangbusters.
The ability of zooms to replace many primes continues to impress.
Is 2% GDP growth during a world-wide pandemic subpar? That seems to be a pretty good growth rate!
The solution to "multiple crisis which only seem to get worse" is to go on the offensive, and lobby for laws that answer those questions in the way we like. Changing an established law is much different than adding a new one.
you should have seen them when they had a soul
I think that's another really good point, it was the first time we have open sourced a project or a library so I wasn't really sure how to best position it with the license. The reason I opted for AGPL was mainly because of the worry that someone bigger could come along and take what we've built and we'd kinda be stuck without an option.

If you'll humour me for a second, just for my own knowledge, I would love to learn a bit more about how you think about the license when deciding whether to use a tool like this or not?
I'm so happy about this. Siri has great voice recognition and voice synthesis, but it really struggled with intent, context, and understanding what I wanted it to do.

Combining the existing aspects of Siri with an LLM will, I expect, make it the best voice assistant available.
If you're running a company that is paying multiple vendors for basic AI features and LLM functionality, it might be worth doing the calculation of how much of that functionality might be covered by getting all of your employees on iOS and MacOS...
> this should be disruptable

This is already disrupted in AI at the highest stages. arXiv paper are the first class citizens there; people regularly cite blog posts, and even tweets in their papers. Rather than journals, people take conferences more seriously.

Now, some companies like DeepMind like to publish in Nature for prestige's sake. That's a different thing.
.. and none of it is open. It's a closed source OS with a proprietary dev cloud service using proprietary model that's only accessible with proprietary sdks.
Why do you think the battery life is better?! Do people not get cause and effect? Ability to deny crap apps and ability to control what can run in background surely helps!
When does this roll out exactly? And exactly which inference actually is on-device?

I think people have been fooled by marketing for this one and the new Co-Pilot PCs into thinking that most of the AI really is running on-device. The models that run fast locally are still fairly limited compared to what runs in the cloud.
The closed social network for just my family with simply ability to share pics of my kid and are stored encrypted remains on my list... I thought when I have kid this will motivate me, now I am so busy with my son that I don't have the time to program it. Anyone can recommend any simple app that will allow me to share pics in very small group of people and have robust control over who sees what etc?
Agreed. Taking the time to roll the dice is important the first few times, to fully cement the idea of the game. After that it gets annoying.

To be specific, you could probably even leave the roll time as-is, to give you that suspense, but the time it takes to move the die to the center, flash it, and flash the result, is too long and gets irritating.
You first had fo use MusicMatch and have a FireWire port on your Mac. Apple released the USB version and iPod support two years later.
This is what we do at https://socket.dev.
I like this! I think the hard part can be finding projects that are both interesting and achievable for the beginner.
A lot of trades not only require hands on experience as apprenticeships, but also buttloads of certifications / legal liabilities to sign off projects, which act as a sensible moat agianst unskilled migrant laborers that dont know the language well, let alone able to navigate endless bureacracy.

Also in a lot of trades once you have a "name" and book of clients its easy to work on your own and start a small business
It wasn’t actually a criticism. I am commenting on the aesthetic.

Clearly touched some nerves.
I use individious because the current youtube frontend is bloated and slow on firefox. Maybe they should focus on improving their frontend instead of blocking frontends that other people prefer.
For anyone interested in other theories that were not mentioned and not satisfied with the unfalsifiability of Many Worlds I can recommend reading Carlo Rovelli's book Helgoland and his Relational Quantum Mechanics[0].

Roel Van de Paar with 2 million bot created videos is still up though.

Because Google has run the numbers and the ad revenue his drivel generates ekes them out a profit.

> but my guess for what will happen regardless is the EU outsources its tech innovation to some other place where they can still reap the rewards.

The AI laws don't work that way. Just like Google can't say: "We'll just put all of our servers in the US so we don't have to comply with the GDPR and start serving the EU market".

> Kinda like how they've imported energy from countries with lower environmental standards.

That doesn't happen. Importing energy from another country doesn't make any difference for a countries emission rights and second of all the energy grid of the EU is connected only in a very limited way to countries outside the EU (like Turkey).
They're an artifact of the way Python 3 went to Unicode.

Early Python was ASCII-oriented. Type "str" was used both for text strings and arrays of bytes. "str" was treated much like arrays of "char" in C - it was the basic type for binary I/O.

Then came Unicode and Python 3. Characters and bytes were no longer the same thing.
Strings and arrays of bytes had to be split somehow. As with most languages that had to
retrofit Unicode, this didn't go well.

Rust, which didn't have a retrofit problem, did a clean separation. There are arrays of u8,
and there is "str", which must be valid UTF-8 sequences. There is no implicit conversion.
This is straightforward.

Python didn't do it that way. Type "bytes" in Python 3 prints as an ASCII string, not an array of numbers. It's close to the 'str" from Python 2. The usual string-like operations, such as "split" are defined for "bytes". This was kind of weird but was supposed to simplify conversion of old code from Python 2 to Python 3. It didn't really help all that much.

There's also "bytearray", which is a mutable version of "bytes".

It's one of those messes left over from the ASCII to Unicode transition era, along with UTF-16, byte
order marks, "wchar_t", HTML character sets, HTTP headers, and all the character representations in SQL.
I don't know the Play Store app submission process, but if it isn't the case, it would be nice to have a bunch of pre-written privacy policies for common cases. Ideally hosted by Google, vetted by lawyers and explained in simple terms to both users and developers. And "we don't store any data" would be an obvious one, as well as those that use Google services exclusively (ads, ...).

That would make it easier for everyone.
Yeah.
The way the bouy comes into view adds to the theatre of it.

The WWDC is still ongoing and the stream can be followed here: https://www.apple.com/apple-events/event-stream/

(Sharing because I had trouble finding it).
At some point I wonder if Apple might share compute across your devices so you can do things on low-power hardware like the Watch while leveraging the CPU on the phone, etc. If Apple's dedicated to on-device compute, this ends up being your own "private cloud" of sorts.
Almost makes you wonder if they're inferencing models on that hardware but not training it there. They worded that part of the presentation very carefully.

Which also begs the question; how much money would Apple save by using Nvidia for everything? Probably not much since they don't have to pay margins on Apple Silicon bought for themselves. But I suspect there is a literal monetary cost to bruteforcing an Nvidia-scale server network with weaker hardware.
Apple (I reckon): Most people don’t know how to use AI well. It’s our responsibility to pare it all down and release features one by one selling each new software feature as part of next year’s hardware.
A bit unfair. A neighbourhood orientated social media platform is always going to have a vocal tiny minority of the people you described. I’d like to hear suggestions on how she as a CEO could prevent those issues
I am pretty unhappy with Apple doing the image generation, was really hoping that just would not happen.

But a lot of the other features actually seem useful without feeling shoehorned in. At least so far.

I am hoping that I can turn off the ability to use a server while keeping local processing, but curious what that would actually look like. Would it just say "sorry can't do that" or something? Is it that there is too much context and it can't happen locally or entire features that only work in the cloud?

Edit:

OK how they handle the ChatGPT integration I am happy with. Asks me each time if I want to do it.

However... using recipe generation as an example... is a choice.
yup, that was pretty much my point/question. Thanks for confirmation!
I wore mine on a flight for the first time last week. It was actually a lovely experience for me, save for being more than a bit self conscious. No cables and it made it way easier to not feel cramped while staying in my small space. No dongles, though, save for being plugged into the under seat power.
They're certainly focusing on a more sophisticated market, especially in the corporate space.
Robotics and tele-science will improve at a much faster rate than our ability to solve getting humans to Mars, sustaining them there, and returning.

Plus, sending robotic probes is already "solved".
Firefox users represent a very small portion of the user-base. Also it's in their interest to nudge you towards chrome, no?

Among minority market-share browsers Safari gets more attention because the users are wealthier -> ad impressions can be sold for more.
If you released iPod/iPhone right now, it wouldn't be as successful. I really hope VR pans out, as I always imagined it would be fun. But from every headset I've tried so far, the novelty wears off. My current problems are - it doesn't make any of my existing experiences better, and nor it unlocks new ones. Until we get a real use case and much lighter hardware, it'll be an uphill battle both for Apple and Meta to win over the consumers. Especially with AVP's pricetag.
Maybe once they were, but they suck compared to 1password. I've moved and never looking back.
It definitely does - but a very small amount. A far more interesting discovery is that the soil is relatively 'wet' - about 2% water by weight. [1] That's one of the very few things "The Martian" got accidentally wrong. Getting water on Mars is going to be super easy. That's a liter (2 pints) of water that can be extracted per cubic foot (0.03 cubic meters) of soil, even if you're not near water ice or anything else of the like. And that's, out of necessity, a result of studying surface level soil on Mars. It's suggestive that below the surface the soil could be even more moist.

Pretty clear anti-competitive activity
so tl;dr open api sees itself as a platform business and is hiring top level platform leaders to fill out their space.

Kevin known mainly for his work at Instagram and Sarah for her work at Square.

Also implies that agi and some of the broader ideas might not come online for a few years.
> You have to know yourself well enough to understand what type of environment you want to work in. Some people perform better in startups; some in big multinational corps; some in small mom & pop shops.

This really is a huge factor, and one that is REALLY personal to me. I went from "can barely get out of bed to do the small amount of part-time work I could get" to "enthusiastically hammering out 50+ hour weeks" once I got into the startup environment, which was stunning to me. If I hadn't stumbled into that world, I'd never have known the version of me that exists today was even possible.
agree completely except the last sentance.. smells like a cheap backdoor to auto-profiling plus shenanigans immediately following that
