It's more that it's a lot easier to hear the tires with no combustion engine chugging away.
That doesn't seem to actually be the case?
Would be tough and long road for alt AppStores to eat into Apples ecosystem. Apple first have default AppStore, second they have features like the tried and true in app purchase and revenue distribution system in place. Countries may eventually require apple to provide these features but it will be a looong and painful while
Could it be worse on heavier vehicles and/or the higher pressure tires they have?
If the examples are anything to go by, then yes, they are providing a link to a mp3 to download.
You might be one of those who embrace electric vehicles today, yet it's worth remembering that electric cars were once considered obsolete. They were revived through persistent belief and innovation, despite the dominance of internal combustion engines. This same principle of perseverance and innovation applies to nuclear energy and solar panels.

We cannot predict with certainty which technologies will dominate the future, but it's clear that innovation and research should always be our priorities. Dismissing nuclear power as a relic of the past is illogical. Instead, we should focus on improving it and continuing to explore all potential solutions for sustainable energy. Nobody can predict.

Maybe, but they don't need to be the PKs. And you only need some 128bit number at all if you want one generator not to be able to guess the others' numbers, like if clients are generating them.

AGI Alexa is truly a work of innovation. It gaslights you into thinking you wanted hippopotamus.
> Apple isn’t paying OpenAI as part of the partnership, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the deal terms are private. Instead, Apple believes pushing OpenAI’s brand and technology to hundreds of millions of its devices is of equal or greater value than monetary payments, these people said.

Okay, I want to ask the optimists something. Who actually thinks Sam Altman is perfectly content to be "paid in exposure"?

Before you answer, remember that this is the Worldcoin founder we're talking about.
I think it shows a distinct lack of imagination to think that Google and Apple can't compete in some areas of the market, while still being monopolies or engaging in monopolistic practices in others.
Are you saying immigration caused you to spend $800k for US based health care, as a Canadian?

No appeals to thought exercises either. You're the authority on this. Tell HN how this isn't just some convoluted xenophobic rant.
I'm not in the US, I live in Europe and health insurance is a personal thing completely unrelated to an employer. But my treatment isn't covered at all because it's not immediately life threatening and not the cheapest most traditional treatment option - a big issue with the EU systems is that it's either the regulated but usually pretty bad option, or 100% out of pocket (and the prices are not very different from what an US hospital bills). I can't just submit an invoice and get at least part of it covered. In my case I'd have problems even if I used the regulated option because there isn't an official code for my illness - it exists but only for children.

I wouldn't be able to function if I didn't go and I'm sure there's plenty of people like that in the US too... And yes, I'd go bankrupt if I didn't work in software for US company. Sucks to be poor - regardless of which continent.
It is a well known fact that people don't read the entire article. Your opinion is wrong.
To be fair, they're only positioned for AI hype because crypto hype made it clear value prop for the hardware.

So just getting up on the surfboard is laudable.

Riding the wave, maybe not.

I think people use the term "monopoly" and "anti-competitive" somewhat interchangeably sometimes, even if the word is technically incorrect.

Technically the current smartphone stuff is a duopoly but there are definitely bits of anti-competitive behavior exhibited by the respective app stores.

You know that Google is paying Apple for being their default search engine for the safari browser, right?

I realized long ago that when I travel in my Grand Caravan on cruise control at 100kph I mostly hear tires. Engine noise is not audible unless the engine goes high RPM when going up steep hill or whatever other reason
A lot of heating in the UK is gas (so wouldn't drive electricity consumption) and a lot of homes in the UK do not have AC (recent news reports suggest it is under 5% of the homes have it)

Yeah so, I also don’t understand why sexual orientation or identification needs to be mentioned in conjunction with a significant positive contribution to society.

I think ~1% of the US population is transgender, so maybe for reasons I’m too thick to understand, that’s important somehow?
Antitrust stuff isn't as simple as finding a monopoly. In fact, monopolies aren't intrinsically illegal in the first place.

If all the players present the same problem (in this case, giving in-house software an unfair advantage) then it might be cause for regulation.
It's not a pain in the ass at all. Just, don't track/store data on people.
You can quibble about 'better' I guess, or make a fallacy of composition, but by nearly every measurable metric humanity is broadly better off as a species post-industrialization.
I think text-to-SQL is still useful for devs more than non-devs.

This https://docs.uxwizz.com/guides/ask-ai-new works sort of ok half of the time, but LLMs have to get better before they can really understand the database structure and make correct queries. At the moment, sometimes they get wrong even basic things like using a wrong table name.
Outside of HN, VR is a hard sell. Outside of VR games, it is an almost impossible sell, and Apple is irrelevant when it comes to gaming.

At $3500, in this economy, it's a no-go for all but the most die-hard of Apple fans.
From the images further in the article, it looks like CrisisReady uses a standard color palette.

The green color used in the banner image and the side-by-side image seem to be for emphasizing how the shape looks similar to an avocado, not for use in the actual reports.
I've done this before and is definitely worth a shot with most printers, but despite being such a simple goal it can get surprisingly in the weeds.

I did eventually find success with an old Brother laser printer using the brlaser driver and a RPi3, but not before spending at least a week troubleshooting why all but the simplest print jobs would fail. Getting a reliable wifi connection took even longer.
I have not read through this entirely but would, perhaps, like to propose that Neitzche was riffing off of eastern philosophy and mayhap missed the boat. Namely, the uber mensche is in fact the every man. Without the mundane, there is no sacred or profane, no higher calling, no substrate from which to build these high towers.

I think about this when walking through cities or touring mansions of the rich and powerful, even when looking through a thoughtful, well-organized codebase: who were these craftsmen? What lives did they live while not simply trying to live? But, oh, look what they built with the time they had.
This is a reasonable angle, but recall that some sunlight, dirt, and water managed (with a lot of compute) to emit something smarter than the sum of its parst.
Ahh... thank you.
I swear it's insane that anyone's this obtuse. Read better. I said companies do not have an incentive to respect users' privacy and autonomy. They have anticheat solutions that work for their customers willing to take that hit. That's not in question here. We're talking through each other because you either can't read or are willfully misunderstanding. You have conflated anticheat with kernel access when the whole argument is about whether it's possible to prevent cheating without it. If you're going to insult people's intelligence it would behoove you to be able to read. This isn't some minor quibble either. Nearly every post you've made has fundamentally missed the point of the one it's replying to. I can either assume you're not arguing in good faith or that your language comprehension is inadequate to communicate meaningfully. Either way this is a waste of both of our time
This reminds me of how in the WWDC keynote, the example used for the new hidden apps feature was an app involving hair styles. Yup, I'm sure that is exactly the kind of app people would want to be hiding on their phone...
True, a better choice of words than average would have been: a very likely completion to a starting state/input.
Worst case, they could always use the other capsule that's docked to the ISS right now to get back.

Though that would leave the current crew stranded up there until a replacement spacecraft can be sent. That takes several months.

This has happened before. The Soyuz docked to the ISS in Dec 2022 was damaged by a micrometeorite strike and was deemed unsafe, leaving that crew essentially stuck up there until a new Soyuz was sent back up in Feb 2023. (The damaged Soyuz was later remotely flown back empty.)
Kagi.com: Introducing New Basemap Options and Enhanced Filtering
I think that is what you would like to happen but this would have to play out in court because Apple makes so much money from that 30% they would fight it tooth and nail.
Like every country that isn't Anglophone, Japan does not have a common law system, it's based on Germany's civil law system IIRC.
Ha, right, thanks! The original title was "as simply as possibly."
Nah there needs to be trust in engineering or review principles and leadership to do the right thing under ambiguity within a company above and beyond regulations. Codes and laws don’t move fast enough for innovation and invention. And take building codes for example, they keep homes safe but you can build a lemon of a house that passes inspection. It can also have terrible architectural layout. That doesn’t mean you need more codes or inspectors.

In highly regulated industries there’s a revolving door issue where private employees join government, write the specifications, then return to private industry at a higher level.

But yeah in this case I agree regulators and company controls should have a pause or mitigation plan before running at risk. Guess we’ll see over the next few days.
And it would give you a response that others are likely to give, in the context of this prompt.
> 'Praising with faint critique'?

I had hoped so, but I can see how it wouldn't come across that way.
I'm not familiar with that era, but I think cell phones back then were more focused on hardware and brute-force style development than sophisticated software. It's unbelievable how tough it was to survive the NTT Docomo's R&D center, YRP. Depression and suicides were sadly common, which caused a lot of Japanese to avoid the IT industry for years...

Nietzche also died penniless and alone in an insane asylum. His philosophy is more of a cautionary tale than anything else.
Yeah - timezones, especially daylight savings changeovers which sometimes get changed to the most trivial of reasons, is the one big thing that'd get annoying if this thing couldn't connect to the outside world.
I'm glad you found some value. I spent a bit too long on Reddit to really want to give a lot more investment tutorials anymore though. I'll entertain doing so at an hourly rate to teach you all about it though! (slightly tongue in cheek, but it is a legit offer for you, let me know and I could hit you up on linked in)

Otherwise, I'll likely check back on this thread every few days, happy to entertain some more convo here for sure.
Important number to put after the game title. OG's know. Not 3, not 4. 2.
And Google bends those users over for ad revenue and tracking data. OpenAI is over here running a product that is an order of magnitude more expensive and expecting things to "come out in the wash" like it's a deal between (burgeoning) friends.

Cui bono?
I'd guess that half our Alexa utterances are for setting timers (the other half being split between listening to music and summoning the family to dinner/other announcements). Having dirty hands or not having to walk over to frob buttons makes the voice-activated timers pretty compelling to me.
Blokus Duo
Cost and quality. I worked on a new chemical plant in Singapore. Everything was fabricated as modules in yards all around the world. A lot of work can be done in lower cost countries, like building pipe racks in the Philippines. Ship all the modules to site then everything is bolted and welded together, wired up. The only stuff that's really done at site (besides integration) is the underground utilities, foundation work, and then commissioning.
> You should never have faith in a company. You should have faith in the regulatory process that constrains that company.

I agree, but I think the need for this points to a pretty glaring level of brokenness in capitalism.

(I'm also assuming by your second "should" that there's an implicit "in an ideal world" prefix, since I really do not have much faith in the regulatory process that constrains Boeing.)
The good news is that if the regulations haven't been stringent enough to protect people, we can always increase them and also hold regulators that fail to do their jobs accountable.
Sure, machines with virtual memory and caches were available in small numbers for a long time, but the vast majority of programming was done on PCs since the 1980s. The first Intel PC with a cache was the 486.
Last I heard, all the third-party browsers just wrap Apple's bundled webkit. No other browser engines allowed.
Japan had a strong flip phone ecosystem back when iPhone happened. Contactless payment, lootbox microtransactions, music downloads, GIF emojis, TV broadcast, multicore CPUs, Linux-based OS, biometrics, >326ppi displays before iPhone 4, 3x mechanical zoom, literally everything. Sadly the industry was focusing razor sharp on political infighting and was just building up crufts, and so the UI/UX was beyond atrocious - it was not simply outdated, the entire ecosystem was user hostile. That and downright illegal quota enforcement from Apple wiped it out.

Two major mistakes made by Japanese phone manufacturers was that they didn't ship the phones globally from being scared to death with language barriers, and that no one cared about horrible organizational mess.

They had a decade and half to make MOAP(L) work out as a usable touchscreen OS that runs on Renesas SH processor with Toshiba DRAM and paired with a Fujitsu modem, they didn't take that route and instead spent that engineering man-hours on processing PDF file returned from payment gateway on a phone, and let it all bleed out.

IIUC, Korea was in an almost exact same situation. They managed to come out of it. Japan could not.
Stalemate doesn’t have notation either, so the OP doesn’t consider it different than any old bishop underpromotion
Come home to find a yellow ring on the Echo. "Alexa, tell me my messages." "You don't have any messages. You have one notification; would you like me to read it?" <silently> "Jesus H Christ, what do you think?!" <aloud> "Yes"
I appreciate you putting this into words. The very idea (that people who skim articles will form skewed concepts in absence of full comprehension) is fairly significant in our society where information competes for your limited headspace.
>What happened to the incredibly futuristic basis in the smartphone space that Japan had with NTT docomo back in the mid-late 90's?

Nothing, really. Remember that most advancements in computing still happened outside of Japan (Windows 95, Pentium, et al.), or in the case of NAND flash happened in Japan but was shitcanned only to be picked up by the US.

Japan never was great at tech beyond a certain point, but that only became really obvious in the 2000s when even their Galapagos phones were finally outdone.
I always go straight for the prompt with this kind of thing - it's here: https://github.com/knowsuchagency/pdf-to-podcast/blob/512bfb...

It starts like this:

Your task is to take the input text provided and turn it into
an engaging, informative podcast dialogue. The input text may
be messy or unstructured, as it could come from a variety of
sources like PDFs or web pages. Don't worry about the
formatting issues or any irrelevant information; your goal is
to extract the key points and interesting facts that could be
discussed in a podcast.

The way this uses different OpenAI TTS voices for the different roles is really neat!
No, Apple will still have the advantage of not being restricted like 3rd party apps when it comes to running background activities, access to hardware features they haven't published APIs for, and integration opportunities via private Apple only APIs amongst their various apps and platforms that 3rd party apps can't replicate since Apple literally doesn't make those knobs available to them.

Why can't my non-Apple laptop start a tethering session automatically with an iPhone when I open its lid? What good reason is there that a 3rd party tool can't generate an auto-reply to a notification from a chat app with my consent? Lots of user experience niceties that Apple keeps only for their 1st party apps to the detriment of us all.

Google does similar things on Android, but at least you can get most of these features through 3rd party stores like F-Droid.
Int4 Decoding GQA CUDA Optimizations for LLM Inference
Would certainly be interesting to compare Crash Bandicoot playtime on failed vs. working units.
I was thinking more about consoles. I remember reading some articles about the PSX and the N64 and how they would kill PC gaming, and then the Voodoo happened...

But if we are talking about home computers like the Amiga, Ataris and such, then I fully agree with you. My first computer was a 486 with the big Creative Discovery CD 16 kit, so many good memories...
There's nothing derived from pistachios though. According to the article, it's a completely synthetic flavor derived from chemical sources not connected to pistachios.
IMO, a compelling alternative to push more heavily is open source, because it's something different than just another corporation that places profit before substance and ethics.
>That’s not to say that they should be given infinite leeway, but nobody here has made that argument, so…

I interpreted this from OP: >Both failed… I would have much preferred keeping them to finding and training someone new

as giving infinite leeway, like "i'd rather not go through the hiring process and just 'deal with it'".
The article says that it's artificial pistachio flavor.
The page has a link to the code, so I guess you can self-host it: https://github.com/knowsuchagency/pdf-to-podcast
Not OP but when I was living there I noticed that major highways are generally physically separated from public spaces

I suspect due to better urban planning and less car-centric compromises on the placement of new motorways

Centre of towns and villages are more likely to be trams or trains than a highway. Very few settlements are anywhere near the autobahn.

Also the extreme emphasis on car maintenance was nice to see - polar opposite to where I’m from, Australia (similar I’d imagine to America). It seems that people here play a competition with who can illegally modify their car the most like cutting off catalytic converters and raising their SUV 4 inches for god knows why
There's only 1440 minutes in a day. So there's almost 10 quotes for each possible minute to display (assuming an even enough distribution).

Even if you check the time a lot - I guess I probably check the time 3 or 4 times every day between 9:20 and my regular 9:30am meeting - it'll probably be ~15 days before I hot a duplicate quote. That feels like "enough" to me?
Just gotta keep grinding globally against these orgs. Lobby your representatives.
Because Sony phones were clearly excellent which is why everyone bought them, and made them the success they are today?

What exactly do you want out of “lots of competition”?
I’m just fed up with subpar and locked down hardware.

Give me hardware that I own when I buy it. Fully open it up to the end user. No need to hide or gimp it’s power behind proprietary APIs (ie, Metal, lack of OpenGL).
I'm not optimistic. Korea's Naver has added zilch to overall consumer choice.

None of these countries do software very well Japan included which makes no sense, modern manufacturing and speedrunning was invented there.

What's obvious is Japan's extreme care for privacy opting for the security of paper based document storage/retrieval.

Also don't like seeing the minting of tech bros that is prevalent in America not really creating value for consumers but wealth for a small group of people.
DeepMind releases TORAX, a tokamak transport simulator for Fusion
When can we have ejector seats for commercial airplane cabins. Or.. "ejector cabins"?
Could that be due to saving face? I poked around for more information and the best I could find was that they're going to be using at least some of the extended time to evaluate it for safety, though it was cleared for emergency evacuation (though I'm not sure what that means in space).

I dunno. I do agree this is entirely clickbait. The author makes a couple implications but fails to make an argument or even really connect their observations and conclusions.
If you live in the US and work as a software engineer at a top tech company it’s very straightforward to make more than 200k. Otherwise, it’s much harder.
Controlling ion transport for a blue energy future
Thanks for the link, that was a great read! What a story.

Minor nit pick, the pilot did not in fact eject. He was literally thrown out of the disintegrating aircraft, ripping his shoulder and waist harnesses in the process. Insane stuff, especially that he survived.
Secure enclave doesn't have to be single software locked thing. They don't have to give every app unconditional access to securely executing code either nor giving access to other apps' data. Users can choose just like they choose their camera permissions to access RFID / NFC and each wallet can get a prioritized access to those services.
Elixir is going to be fundamentally different from TS though. The base set of datatypes is quite well defined, and function activities are rather composable unlike JS where "basically anything can happen".
I've done this! You can also cut a small square of diffraction grating and put it on top of a hardening chocolate candy (like an enrobed square of ganache) to make decorate a completed chocolate: http://whoisgood.dog/img/chocolate-diffraction-picture.jpg

Also tip: easiest way to temper a pot of chocolate is with an electric hand-mixer. Wait until it's 32C, mix for fifteen seconds, bam tempered.
Yes I agree. I think that my main issue is that with today's software, we are assuming the identity of our 'digital twin', instead of having it firmly separated from us. This is my main problem with representational aspect of our current software infrastructure. It actually removes ownership and control over the software.
An app store would be one of the cases where third parties might want to do what Apple does. Once that's done there's no case for payments to go through Apple.
You don't need AI to filter out adverts. Apple can literally just say no adverts in notifications or you app is getting delisted.
