> I think they were in fact way ahead of everyone else,

This would be a lot easier to argue if they hadn't gimped their Neural Engine by only allowing it to run CoreML models. Nobody in the industry uses or cares about CoreML, even now. Back then, in 2017, it was still underpowered hardware that would obviously be outshined by a GPU compute shader.

I think Apple would be ahead of everyone else if they did the same thing Nvidia did by combining their Neural Engine and GPU, then tying it together with a composition layer. Instead they have a bunch of disconnected software and hardware libraries; you really can't blame anyone for trying to avoid iOS as an AI client.

I ended up cutting a section on Rust support from the post, but if you're open to Rust (iirc you were sceptical at some point?), async Rust is really pleasant to use in embedded.

The answer is: features. People who pay for a consumer product usually get some added value with it that you cannot find in freeware.
Given that this as a pun would be applicable to anything with an interior and exterior, I'd say no, it's not meant as such.

I see it the same way I see surround/spatial audio and HDR on an OLED. Most people won't get much out of it, but those that do notice will tend to prefer the option when available, even at substantial cost.
It is as complicated as I make it sound. Technically, it's trivial, of course.

But operationally it is incredibly complicated to deliver and operate this kind of false attestation at massive scale.
I would give multiple upvotes to this, were it possible.

I do not have either Google or Apple accounts and I do not intend to ever open such accounts (despite owning some Android smartphones and having owned Apple laptops).

Because of this, I am frequently harassed by various companies or agencies, which change their interaction metods into smartphone apps and then deprecate the alternatives.

Moreover, I actually would be willing to install such apps, but only if there would be some means to download them, but most of them insist on providing the app only in the official store, from which I cannot install it, because I have no Google account.

I have been forced to close my accounts in one of the banks that I use, because after using their online banking system in the browser for more than a decade, including from my smartphone, they have decided to have a custom app.

In the beginning that did not matter, but then they have terminated their Web server for online banking and they have refused to provide directly their app, leaving the Google store as the only source of it.

I have been too busy to try to fight this legally, but I cannot believe that their methods do not break any law. I am not an US citizen, I live in the European Union, and when an European bank (a Societe Generale subsidiary) refuses to provide its services to anyone who does not enter in a contractual relationship with a foreign US company, such discrimination cannot be legal.
The lack of built-in flash kills it for me. STM32 M3s with comparable throughput are cheaper and don't require an external flash chip (example: STM32F103C8T6 for $1.20 from jlc).

I love the generic PIO though, I really hope other manufacturers pick up on that.

Social tie ins with gaming never truly worked despite about a decade of experimentation. Lots of the features from social networks instead got included in game design rather than relying on facebook and x for engagement.

I imagine that UGC will still find easy mechanisms for sharing per title, but as a defacto option from big game makers it's done.
I think AI agents are underhyped.

Because they keep on changing the product at the same time. If they added value and left what worked still working, it'd be great. But they change things, and it's buggy, and the UX is worse, and I just want the nice productive utility I had a few years ago.

"slop" is not a new term, it has been used for years to describe low quality content that is produced consistently and according to trends and it's not strictly related to AI. My guess is that some people who are not familiar to internet slang, saw the word "slop" being used when talking about AI and thought it's a new word used for AI generated content.

I confess I thought this was a possible read for longer than makes sense. I still don't think of the social network as X. Curious how long it will take me to do so.

I'm also curious why I would care that my console does or does not have linked accounts with social. Now curious if they have other networks.
Thank you for the info. I am curious: is there a corollary, by which minority owners could sue majority ones, for lost profit? I suppose the key caveat to my argument earlier is that one must have standing to sue: if owners disagree (board decisions need not be unanimous), is there valid standing to sue.

The thing about Norway is that it’s a cold, barren, remote place where very few people want to live. Most of the year it’s cold and gray, and most of the country is uninhabitable.

The result is that its natural resources haven’t been consumed to the degree that most developed countries’ resources have, and there aren’t as many people to consume them.

I find it a strangely fair situation. Their luck comes from having friendly neighbors who care about their well-being and responsible development.
Bartender 5 Blog: Let's Try This Again
ok, thanks. The difference, though, is that even in astronomy (a non-experimental science) they can always do new observations, more precise ones, different parts of the spectrum, etc. etc. With ancient texts, there's no new data. That's the difference.

I actually hosted Svante Pääbo at Google, and he said that in his youth he was really interested in Egyptology, but then he shifted to recovering ancient DNA. 20 years later he had a reunion with his old Egyptology friends. They were still arguing about the same things.
Bypassing 2FA with phishing and OTP bots
Very nice. Well-written. Feels "natural."

Besides helping with interpretability, my immediate thought is that maybe we could pretrain models faster by adding regularization terms in the objective function that induce representations of distinct categories to be in subspaces that are orthogonal to each other, and representations of subcategories to be in orthogonal subspaces that can form polytopes. The data necessary for doing so is readily available: Wordnet synsets. Induce representations of synsets to be orthogonal to each other and representations of hierarchically related synsets to be arranged in polytopes. There's already some evidence that we can leverage Wordnet synsets to pretrain some models faster. Take a look at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40160728 for example.

Thank you for sharing this on HN.
So far, Yes. Seems like we just re-wrapped the old school "Chat Bots" using the "AI" keyword. For now at least. LLMs do have their use and advantage but most tools currently are not living upto the hype.

Until 7 Oct, Israel had proven more than capable of protecting its assets (at a cost). Since 7 Oct, it looks like they seek to do that once again (at a cost). I don't think megacorps are worried that much given none of the G7 really seems to care about those costs.

The goal of the outbox pattern is at-least-once publishing though, not only-once. You either get P + (eventually) at least one copy of K, or you get no P and no K.

Without the outbox you can get P without K or K without P, which lead to consumers out of sync with the producer.

This requires the consumer to be able to deal with repeated events to some extent, but you usually want that anyway, since an event can be processed twice even if it appears only once in the topic. For instance if the consumer crashes after processing but before updating the offset.

I think I remember playing with POV-Ray (along with Yafaray) as alternative renderers for Blender back in the early 2000s, not long after Blender had been ported to OS X. At that point I had been making simple scenes in Blender for a while but had grown tired of the limitations of its internal renderer, most notably its inability to render caustics and bounced light, and so was trying my luck with other renderers.

Never did get that far with either. If I recall, the problem with POV-Ray was getting the Blender file translated correctly for POV-Ray to render right, and while Yafray didn’t have the translation issue it was too slow to practically use on my little 400Mhz iMac G3.

It never even crossed my mind back then to directly write code for POV-Ray. At that point, in my teenage mind 3D was something you did with GUI software packages like Strata 3D and Blender.
> Well, your messages have to be congruent with the expected messages from the real hardware,

Yes, which is why you need the keys that are used to make real hardware. Provided you have those very secret and well protected keys (you are Apple being compelled by the government) that's not an issue.

> and your fake hardware has to register with the real load balancers to receive user requests.

Absolutely, but we're apple in this scenario so that's "easy".
"Demand for rare earths and critical minerals is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years"

For a limited resource.
Modern Twitter/X to me is a lot like modern Star Wars. A lot of people, including myself, liked the early work, but the current management (and arguably a whole lot of people) seem to have liked very different ideas and gone with those rather than the things I thought made the original interesting.

Of note: while the headline is completely accurate, I had no idea this was about X/Twitter and thought it was some game tech. At least in the gaming world of my kids and myself, social integration is a lot of fun. It’s possible that this was a money pit, but with all the garbage on Twitter, having a simple way to post game stuff seems like an odd category to weed out.
- The lack of authenticity in electronic channels will drive a small segment of people offline into less fakeable (for now) social contexts

I think this segment might start small but I think it will grow rapidly if the utility of the internet is dwarfed with low quality crap. The belief that non-technical people won't catch on to the shenanigans and simply look elsewhere is a bad bet some are making and I think everyone living on the internet during covid gave non-technical people an intuitive feeling for all the manipulation and tenuous quality of the internet as a tool/public utility they can trust in any form.

Honestly, it seems like the "rare earth elements" are considered "rare" because people didn't bother looking for them until recently. They seem to be pretty widely distributed in reality, just not always easy to access.

Fifteen years ago (I remember the apartment where I had this thought), it occurred to me that time was running out to write an authentic novel. Soon, computers would generate whole stories in an endless variety of styles, and even if future authors would hand write a book from start to finish, they would likely have been influenced by other artificial writing at some point. Readers would be unable to emotionally connect with authors due to the nagging awareness that the text might have been fully or partially generated by an unthinking, unfeeling machine.

Though I try, I fail to think of a comparable scenario in our past, at least as relates to language. You can look around whatever room you are in and try to identify an object that was made by human hands rather than a factory process. That's a fact that always makes me a bit sad. I think we're headed in a similar direction with the language we consume. Craftsmanship falls by the wayside, and our world loses even more of the human touch that connects us with one another.

It should be noted that there is no shortage of places in, for example North America, with rare earths, but instead all mines were shut down.

Why?

China.

China purposefully sold such way under production cost, then once all competing mines closed, raised prices. And if you're in business, and thinking of going through the cost of reopening, you certainly wouldn't now that your competition has shown it can bankrupt you at a whim.

It's actually not a bad strategy for China to have taken.

Now though, China is restricting on political principles, to hobble chip production for the West. Now, there is a desire for domestic production again.

But if I had a dormant rare earths mine, I wouldn't step up without some protection, such as duties on foreign imports.

Because otherwise, if the duty is just on China, it will still flow cheap through other countries.
Isn't it almost cosmically funny that the response to people who do want small trucks is to try banning the kei trucks, often over claims of "safety"?

This seems like a no-brainer for the console makers. The consoles are already sold, and they're making back any losses from that through games sales and subscriptions.

Then X comes along and asks for half a mil a year. I'm sure they looked at their usage numbers and how people feel about X, and they decided they could cut the feature and not lose many/any customers. Feature cut; projected revenue remains the same; problem solved.
I rather think that makes them examples on point, specifically on the point that:

> success today is not about the quality of the music but instead about the audience's connection with the artist

...although I would rather say "sense of connection", since in all three of these cases there is in the narrow sense no "artist" involved at all.

More broadly, this seems a fairly uncontroversial point, given how crowded by supply our current media markets are made. Certainly it seems like it would be uncontroversial on that supply side, at least if what I hear from artists and writers and musicians in my circles is any guide.
That's really disappointing :/
> Of course, do what is necessary, trust whomever; no one is faulting anyone for making practical choices, but let's not pretend choosing Apple and trusting it solves these problems introduced by so-called "tech" company competitors. Apple pursues online advertising, cloud computing and data collection. All at the expense of privacy. With billions in cash on hand, it is one of the wealthiest companies on Earth, does it really need to do that.

Yeah. I feel like the conversation needs some guard rails like, "Within the realm of big tech, which has discovered that one of its most profitable models is to make you the product, Apple is really quite privacy friendly!"
...because that means there's a lot of support and documentation for that 1 variant and lots of people have solved problems and written about it,

This is like the iPhone strategy against Nokia. When I worked at Nokia it produced many variant phones - each with a little more ram or a bit less or a better screen or a different chipset. This was because they thought that people bought on price and wanted to have a product at every price point.

The builds took more than a week to finish, the bug fixing was horrendous. The software sometimes had to work with not enough RAM sometimes with different chipset bugs, different graphics limitations. It was a nightmare to produce a quality product. Then out of e.g. 18 phone models we had to customise each one for 1000 operators in the world which intensified the pain and effort.

At that time Apple had one iPhone. It was over specified - lots of RAM, great graphics etc. They only had to test their code once - not 18 times.

Sure, and even Apple can't imitate a different server that they made.

They're making new servers though. Take the keys that are used to vouch for the UIDs in actual secure enclaves, and use them to vouch for the UID in your evil simulated "secure" enclave. Your simulated secure enclave doesn't present as any particular real secure enclave, it just presents as a newly made secure enclave that Apple has vouched for as being a secure enclave.
More innocent, certainly.
