I was confused at first because I saw nothing in the Network tab of the browser dev tools.

But I figured it out; opening the dev tools for the shared worker, one can see that it does a websocket connection upgrade when the page is reloaded.

The github reads "designed to synchronize web application state". But, what if I also have e.g. an Android app and would like to synchronize state with it also? Is that out of scope or something considered for the future?

Steam sometimes lets you know with a banner in the store page about a required 3rd party software, but there's also https://areweanticheatyet.com/ maintained by Linux gamers.

What's frustrating to me is that games will run the hyper invasive kernel level version of an anti cheat on Windows but will allow Linux plays, which has no such level of access. If we're trusting Linux players with no kernel level monitoring, why not windows players? Have cheater really not caught on that there's a lower bar on that platform? I hope they don't because I like being able to play competitive games with friends without having to reboot first.

I think over roasting allows companies to sell beans from different regions/sources as one batch. Can't tell the difference when everything has the same burnt consistency.
It's a well known fact that after original Internet becoming very popular US military has their very own separated, isolated and operated military network based on the similar design of packet switching of the Internet for their own use cases. Since it's operated by military they can make the networks infrastructure military grade and make the power supply to be fully redundant, but then Cold War was turned into just propaganda machine so perhaps there is no real motivation to make it really reliable.

It's also a very common practices in many countries to have isolated and reliable nationwide network infrastructure for emergency usages for example disaster management purposes including military operations.

I'd consider it related, for two reasons:

First and foremost (and what I think the parent comment is getting at) whether you could truly say an LLM "understands" language

As a secondary quibble in the context of the parent post, though big overall, I would argue that the whole argument is moot since a human couldn't possibly learn the way an LLM does in a single lifetime
i don't usually read long articles, especially paginated ones. but this one got my attention and I don't regret it. such a nice mix of tech and suspense mystery thriller. thanks!

Maybe. It is not really obvious how much you for the AI accellerator part of their offerings. For example the chips in iPhones are quite powerful even adjusted for price. However for some cases - like the max chip in the macbooks or the extra ram - their pricing seems high - maybe even nvidia high.
yeah smoking it or drying it by lying it in strips in the sun. if the air is dry enough it won't rot and will just turn into jerkey which lasts for ages. Many still do it to this day

I also just looked this up, but apparently mammoths were still walking the earth as early as only 3000 years ago! I thought it was way farther. The idea to bring them back to northern areas of earth doesnt sound so far fetched

Or maybe just delegate us the work. Maybe we are the assembly of AI and we don't know it yet.
>After which they could run Linux, instead of being e-waste.

There is so much PC based garbage that ends up in the eWaste trash destroyed way before years 7-9 hit and you are complaining about a device that is not even designed to be used in a server/desktop OS configuration?

>iPadOS 18 did get a calculator.

This really does explain it all...Just pure ignorance based on hatred of Apple.

> I live in the US and my kids walk and bike to school. You're making wide generalizations across a large country.

I've learned from HN discussions that there is a vast difference in what people think of as a "suburb".

Some will say it takes over 30 minutes by car from a suburb to the nearest store. To me that's very rural, I'd never consider that a suburb. But some do. So we get these disconnected discussion on how you can/can't do such and such thing in a suburb.

I've nearly always lived in what I consider suburbs. Places with single family homes and parks and playgrounds where I can very easily walk to just about every store or service nearby. The middle schools is an easy walk away for kids. High school is a bit farther but still an easy bike ride for high-school age kids (about 15 minutes).
I was shopping for a phone some time ago. iP14 Pro had always-on display while non-Pro version didnt. Apple justified it by non-Pro having lcd, while Pro having Oled.

Next year iP15, both non-Pro and Pro have Oled, but again only Pro has always-on display.

Honestly that is the reason I am still on my Note9, and looking for another Android.

I understand what product segmentation is, and probably I am minority, but damn, it feels like subscription-based heated seats.
That is, if you know what to monitor. When you launch an entirely new feature, you often don't know all the ways it will break.

And it's not trivial to set up a correct alert for this one. Simple HTTP 5xx threshold wouldn't work because it's high enough to not wake you up whenever cloud provider restarts Postgres, it's too high to catch this. You need either per-endpoint failure rate alerts or something else more clever.
Compared to an LLM, how many hundreds of gigabytes of text do humans need to acquire a language? And isn’t that disparity already proof that some sort of innate structure must be going on?
No, no sarcasm and that's how I read it too.

> Intervention daycares received segments of forest floor, sod, planters for growing annuals, and peat blocks for climbing and digging.

They covered the backyars with forest elements, and asked the children to play with it.

> The 28-day-long intervention that included enrichment of daycare center yards for microbial biodiversity was associated with changes in the skin and gut microbiota of children, which, in turn, were related to changes in plasma cytokine levels and Treg cell frequencies. These findings suggest that the exposure to environmental microbial diversity can change the microbiome and modulate the function of the immune system in children. Specifically, the intervention was associated with a shift toward a higher ratio between plasma cytokine IL-10 and IL-17A levels and a positive association between Gammaproteobacterial diversity and Treg cell frequencies in blood, suggesting that the intervention may have stimulated immunoregulatory pathways.

Doesn't this just say that being exposed to more, and perhaps different, microbials will trigger your immune system? There are lots of words, but my casual eyes don't read anything that would be non-obvious. Specifically, nothing in this study seems to look at long-term effects. It was a 28 day study without later follow-up. Is there a well-established link between what they showed and lasting immune system changes?

(Making the headline _technically_ true.)
Might be better to compare it to the Xbox or PlayStation.

It depends on what you'd consider "untrustworthy", but some (myself included) feel it's hypocritical for Apple to position itself as a privacy conscious choice, and use its marketing / PR machine to give the impression it only makes money on devices/subscriptions, when they're silently managing an ads-funded cash cow, with billions of dollars that go directly to the bottom line, as pure profit.

Here's a few pointers, to get you up to speed [1-5]. Of course there's nothing wrong with monetizing their own user base and selling ads based on their 1PD (or, in the case of Safari, monetizing the search engine placement). But I find it ironic that they make a ton of money by selling ads based on the exact same practices they demonize others for -- user behavior, contextual, location, profile.

Yup this is pretty much it, and DALLE and others can do this already
Looking at the very pretty marketing page over at Apple's I can honestly say: I've not a single use case for this. I'm sure there's someone who has, but I have to jump through several mental hoops to even imagine how any of this might be barely helpful in very rare edge cases for me.
Linux became a thing because computing devices were available for development.
I guess if enough Ipad hardware is available without too much black magic, there could be a stack viable based on linux or some other OS (possibly not yet created)
Yes but not evenly distributed, BeNeLux, Germany, Austria, and Nordic countries have a lot of iPhone users, while moving further east (or south) you see lower market share. Maybe it’s “two handfuls” of wealthy western countries rather than just one, but I think OPs point holds true.
A few years ago I bought a "retroshield", which is the same kinda idea:

http://www.8bitforce.com/projects/retroshield/

There were (are?) boards for driving a Z80, 8085, and a couple of other processors all via an Arduino-Mega.

It was a fun project which later lead to me working on a simple single-board Z80-based system, and that lead to me playing around with CP/M and similar things.
It’s not really a share menu, it’s just a menu where basically all safari functionality is.

Apple controls the hardware and the private keys baked into the hardware. If one of their servers can decrypt the payload, they can intercept, duplicate, and decrypt the payload and its response. I'm sure this'll start a long fight between law enforcement and Apple after the first warrant hits and Apple claims it can't comply.

Warrants to hack devices are a lot less common and generally harder to obtain. That's why police will send Google warrants for "give us info on every device who has been in a radius of x between y and z time".

I'm sure Apple did their very best to protect their users, but I don't think their very best is good enough to warrant this kind of trust. A "secure cloud" solution will also tempt future projects to use the cloud over local processing more, as cloud processing is now readily available. Apple's local processing is a major advantage over the competition but I doubt that'll stay that way if their cloud solution remains this integrated.
Not OP. Sometimes it's good to have a lack of nuance and come with absolute black/white thoughts. At some point, we all internally, draw our own lines in the sand about how we think on a topic (that is hopefully until we encounter new information that necessitates a change). I know for a fact that my opinion on this topic is not accepted, likely won't be accepted by either prominent side, but I stick with it because it conforms to my internal thoughts, priorities and problem-solving properties.
The second part is the structure I tell everyone to use in presentations - and yeah, its explicitly not narrative. I have a conclusion, so that goes up front - it's the most important part, it goes first. Then the second row rank of assumptions which support the conclusion go next, and only then do you start doing the background on how some of those are reached - if it matters.

I find it's as much a writing tool as it is useful for getting to the point quickly with presentations: the goal of presentation is not to surprise the audience, or have a clever twist. It's to be plain, open and honest.

(Which is to say, anytime you don't see this structure in any context other then fiction, you're probably being market pitched and what you see is fiction).
Anything by John H. Holland is good.
Ditto. The larger question is how does the linear sequence of DNA (primary sequence) ultimately drive the spatio-temporal development program that leads to mature differentiated cells working together at the organoid / organ / organism scale. How do cells know what to do in time and space as the organism grows? How is that logic encoded in the genome?

Eric Davidson did a bunch of pioneering work meticulously "debugging" this spatiotemporal genomic logic in the sea urchin. Pretty amazing. Eukaryotes like us have control elements directly upstream of our genes (trans-acting aka close acting) and also 100,000's of base pairs distant (cis-acting). The region of DNA directly preceding the beginning of an open reading frame at the start of a gene usually has a sequence of DNA motifs that bind proteins that can increase or decrease expression of the gene. Davidson and others showed that the transcription factor proteins that bind to these control motifs actually have additional other proteins that bind to them, in literally a layer on top, and that the sequences of proteins in this second layer recruit a tertiary layer of proteins that conditionally cause more or less gene expression, depending on their identities. You could say the secondary and tertiary layers are a form of "abstraction" in a literal sense, since they encode a hierarchy of logical operations.

Here's an open-access overview of Davidson's work which incidentally illuminates a lot of these concepts in more detail for a lay audience: "ERIC DAVIDSON: STEPS TO A GENE REGULATORY NETWORK FOR DEVELOPMENT" by Ellen Rothenberg, 2016; doi: 10.1016/j.ydbio.2016.01.020 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4828313/

to see the decoded logic in pseudocode and with a diagram, see "cis-Regulatory control circuits in development", Howard and Davidson, 2004, Developmental Biology, vol 271, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ydbio.2004.03.031 (open access)

I'm typing this on iPad Air and looking at an iPad Pro, Mac Mini and Macbook Air.
That sounds tough to work in. Do people ever cross-pollinate between theoretical positions and use eachothers data without the competing theory attached, or are they completely siloed off?
My comment edit window closed, but if you trust me, I also made up a quick little pre-baked shortcut that should be fairly user-friendly[1]. Will prompt for date range input, calculate and display total upload size, ask for confirmation, prompt for upload location, then show an alert on completion. Also has some very rudimentary error handling in that it takes a file count before and after the upload, and warns if the two counts don't match up.

A few things to note (applies to my above comment as well):

-If you have a less powerful iOS device, your screen may go semi-unresponsive during the upload process. My iPhone XS goes unresponsive until the upload finishes (less the ability to terminate the shortcut via the "stop" button), but my 2017 iPad Pro is totally usable during upload.

-You may get an error along the lines of "This Shortcut is trying to share more than [x] photos." You can allow this by going to iOS Settings > Shortcuts > Advanced, then toggling on "Allow Sharing Large Amounts of Data"

-Again, there's no progress bar, so it may help to run the Shortcut from the editing pane in the Shortcuts app. That way you can at least watch the app step through the script.

Linux has been 'ready for the desktop' for more than a decade, far longer for those who use it 'professionally' so that old trope can be put to pasture. As to what to run on a Linux tablet there's Plasma Mobile (KDE), Ubuntu Touch, Gnome/Phosh, PostmarketOS with any of the above and more. If you're looking for a single 'Linux tablet interface' you won't find it as there is no single 'Linux $thing' anywhere - you get the choice between many alternatives, some more polished/functional/useable than others.
They can purchase something that allows that.
You are not serious, aren't you? You have Raspberry Pi for that purpose. It's like saying Mercedes should allow me to install software on my Mercedes so I can use my $200k car to use it as a tractor.
I’m starting to waver on atheism also. I’m not likely to start believing in god this far in my life, of course, but I now see why a lot of people feel the need to believe, and I no longer judge them for it. I do however judge religious organizations for shamelessly exploiting that need.
The criticism of the performance of newspapers goes back well before Lovelace and Babbage:

"""I will add, that the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods & errors. He who reads nothing will still learn the great facts, and the details are all false."""

To be fair it was terrible on macOS as well.

This being WSJ it's probably behind a paywall, so not even gonna try. So, reacting purely to the headline: Naah, blue collar has always been cool.

The kids aren't making blue collar Gen-Z cool; if anything, they're making (a tiny?) difference towards making Gen Z blue-collar cool.
I wonder if they made horizontal 50/50 split possible. It is so freaking odd they decided to implement vertical 50/50, but flipping the variables and making a horizontal 50/50 is a no-no. Like no-one at Apple ever used a portrait orientation monitor.
The article doesn't say so, but some web search and deepl.com translation makes it sound like the second missing person may have died by suicide. When they first found the sunken car, they wondered (presuming that the car had gone off the road by accident) how the heck the car had ended up so far out into the water. The answer might be that it didn't fall off the road, but rather was driven off at high speed on purpose, with the express intention of making it hard to find afterwards. :(
It was someone I knew IRL but I guess that's where they got it from
I don't think it makes sense to compare deaths by cars to deaths by dangerous drug addicts for the same reason it doesn't make sense to compare death by cars to death by molestation.
I hope you do understand that a system that can play almost every song ever recorded is going to have a more complex and error-prone user experience than a static 50 songs.
Someone apparently once built a 200 horsepower steam-powered trombone:

There have been many attempts to model and emulate human syntactic acquisition and processing, but the general consensus is that it cannot be done without presupposing some mechanism that enables hierarchical structure. The number of tokens a child needs to learn syntax is the tiniest fraction of the amount of tokens an LLM is trained on.

Humans can also lose parts of their language processing capabilities, without losing others (start at e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_disorder), which is highly suggestive of modular language development. The only question on which there isn't much consensus concerns the origin of that modularity. And humans can lose knowledge while still being able to speak and understand, or lose language while retaining knowledge.

LLMs don't have that at all: they predict the next token.
It'd be super useful if Asahi Linux worked on iPads. :)

I couldn't agree more. I use Google's password manager because (1) it syncs everything (2) I already use Chrome everywhere (3) I can't be arsed to set up another password manager that is generally inferior in terms of integration.

I don't care for the FOSS argument. I just want stuff to work and work easily.

Plus, I sincerely believe Google is 'too big to fail'. If somehow Google gets hacked and my plain text passwords all get leaked, it means something huge has happened and we're all massively screwed anyway. So, whatever.
What about Blonde Roast? It's whole lot smoother in my opinion.
Thanks. I wonder how long that service is going to last.
> It's not about running arbitrary code

But it is. Microsoft just doesn't want home users to run Hyper-V, without paying for a (slightly) more expensive Windows Pro license. Home users still can download free VirtualBox or whatever other solution they care to use. They can also upgrade to a Pro license in-place, by paying $100.

This is all perfectly normal.

iPadOS is completely different. Apple does not _allow_ users to run any non-trivial system-level code. If Apple doesn't want you to access virtualization on iPad, you're out of luck. There are no easy workarounds.
After so many years, so many people still believe in this user control paradigm.

Giving users control works for the slim percentage of power users. Most users will end up obliterated by scammers and other unsavory characters.

Perhaps there is a way to give control to today's users (that includes my non-technical mother) and still secure them against the myriad of online threats. If anyone knows of a paper or publication that addresses this, I'd love to read it.
I think they mentioned it will be available on Windows via iCloud for Windows. But yes, seems like a second class platform for the app.
Im not sure if this is somthing we will ever be able to solve to a satisfactory degree with these top down/automated approaches.

I have been gaming my whole life and I miss the "old" days of having community run server as being the default.

You would go online one day pick a server and play on it in the mode you want (For context: I am talking about Counter Strike:Source). Over time you would get into talking with the regulars on the server and you form some bonds.
And if someone does something the majority does not like the can be vote kicked/banned. We took care of cheaters/flamers/grievers that way. An admin on the server can still revoke the ban if the banned person explains why it was unjustified.

No it wasnt streamlined, and it was sometimes unfair, and establishing global leaderboards were difficult (see ESL company).

But you had community involvment and soooooo much content (game mods and skins; all for free btw.) and it felt good to be part of it.
