"Earning" something is not a useless question. As someone who's had things stolen from me before, a large part of the anger comes from feeling like someone took something that you earned through hard work. It's a big reason we criminalise and punish things the way we do as a society.

Fighting games still typically use a deterministic simulation too. The difference is the good netcode, called rollback, works by using save states and rewinding the simulation to the time of your opponent's 100ms late input, and then resimulating the 100ms from there. You can get away with little or no delay on your own inputs.

I doubt that'll scale to games like Starcraft and Factorio, because in my example, you would need to resimulate 100ms of simulations in ~16ms. In a fighting game with 2 characters and not much else to simulate, that's a lot easier.

ITerm2 is open source. You can already verify that the plugin is not being used.

Also, how exactly is the functionality going to run without manually adding the API key?

Its code to invoke a request to an API. where exactly is the attack surface? It’s not running an endpoint.

Finally, it’s a terminal app. It has access to way more powerful and sensitive tools with higher security risk

To be more accurate I guess i could have said privacy theatre but i think the point stands.
Yeah. I’ve been planning to upgrade from my 12pro this fall, and I’m mostly excited to get better optical zoom and trash my lightning cables.

I do think that Siri’s Generative AI upgrade (which is how I think of this whole Apple Intelligence thing) might be significant enough to change the smart phone as a segment. There are so many things that I feel Siri should be able to do, but it just can’t. Maybe this unlocks those use cases.

If it does, that’s a major incentive for me to increase my investment/reliance on the Apple ecosystem. I’ll use the calendar and mail apps if it means Siri has all that context. I’ll upgrade devices to get the same answers with less perceptual lag.

If we’re focused on hardware sales, I’d be interested in an Apple version of the Rabbit R1. That thing is almost a modernized iPod Touch - great device for kids you don’t trust with an unsupervised connection to the mobile internet. I would be delighted to get a Real One from Apple.

The HomePod Mini is close to this already. It’s. Not clear to me how much Apple Intelligence will be available through those. Again, if it actually works I will buy more of them.

I read this article a couple days ago: https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/06/12/japan-quiet...

Japan is a great barometer for where many of the developed economies are heading.

Labor Force Participation Rate in Japan increased to 63.10 percent in April, the highest in five months,

Given Apple’s general approach, I suspect it’s on-device and these are the only devices that can currently achieve a good experience. I’d like to see them make the devices work together - having an iPhone, Mac or iPad run the model but access it via a watch or HomePod.

That sounds fun, I designed the instruction set on my CPU myself and I didn't get around writing a compiler for it (I only wrote an assembler).

Since I designed the instruction set I made some very quirky design decisions to make the test programs I was writing easier, instructions were 16bit but only 6 bits were used for the instruction so I had a lot of single-word instructions that did a lot of heavy lifting for my programs.

Did you really do that at the bachelor level? I feel like my uni was a bit abnormal on how many hardware classes and projects we had at a bachelor level for computer science.

The local AI model Apple is using needs at least 8Gb. (I guess not all for the AI, but the rest of the phone also needs memory to function)
It worked. The engine flew. Mission success. Is that not qualification enough? As long as nobody is put in danger.
Yes. It was a shareholder vote last time as well.
Sufficiently fast software often allows leaving out whole layers of crap and needless indirection, the most common being caching. Fixing an algorithm so you can omit a dedicated database of intermediate results can be a huge maintainability/usability improvement. The same principle appears all over the place, e.g. immediate mode UIs, better networking (e.g. CSS image tiling vs. just fixing small request overhead in HTTP1 vs. QUIC), importing giant CSV files via some elaborate ETL process vs. just having a lightning fast parser+query engine, etc.

Depending on how you look at it, you could view large chunks of DOM state through this lens, as intermediate data that only exists to cache HTML parsing results. What's the point of allocating a hash table to represent element attributes if they are unchanged from the source document, and reparsing them from the source is just as fast as keeping around the parsed form? etc. These kinds of tricks only tend to present themselves after optimization work is done, which is annoying, because it's usually so damn hard to justify optimization work in the first place.
I would judge that someone falsely claiming that 14 year olds are being killed in sawmills as a result of policy changes they dislike is the one deliberately trying to derail the conversation more than someone who correctly claims "no, that is false".
The use of hyperbole is actually misses the point and derails the conversation.

If a point is valid and clear hyperbole isn't needed. Concerns over children dying in job related accidents or being made to work extreme hours or in bad conditions is a fine point. Children falling into sawmills just muddies the waters and will draw in people who disagree that that is a concern at all.
As I understand it, that’s not _strictly_ true. 17% live in “rural” areas, but this includes towns and villages in rural areas. It’s 8% for “rural village and fringe” [0], or much less for actually outside of towns and villages. Unless you have other stats to share?

6GB RAM on the iPhone 15, 8GB on the iPhone 15 Pro.

That 2GB really could make the difference: they have a 3B language model, which is going to be memory hungry. There needs to be enough memory left for the rest of the phone and apps to function.
This comment is a bit surprising to me. Your point seems to be that strong policies which impose significant good will face significant resistance and so there's no point doing them.

I don't think that makes any sense. Workers rights, regulations around dumping waste, capital gains taxes... There are a lot of things that we already have which some people with power have a strong incentive to remove. We had to fight to implement and to keep these, but goddamnit is it worth it!

I don't see why we shouldn't be optimistic here because historically speaking things have gotten much much better! To me, a gradual and consistent ramping up lvt would be probably the most progressive policy a country could pass at this point :D

The author had it right up until they tried to generalize "uncanny" to equate to "loss of control". It's not the same thing. "uncanny" happens as a result of your brain not being able to dismiss a potential threat (and thus you remain on alert and can't relax fully). That's not the same thing as a loss of control.

The author also fails to go into our evolved genetic psychological makeup (which varies according to what "stock" you hail from): Certain kinds of differences are more threatening than others because survivors over time have tended to naturally find them more threatening - you see this often with the insectoid-looking holes in sliced lotus root for example.
I follow up to the phone part because absolutely people will be buying ipads/mac books/phones to get access to AI Assistant. I am definitely in the camp that if AI Assistant offers some nice workflows on my phone and laptop that I may actually buy a new ipad for a seamless experience. I am sure I am not the only one in this camp. To me Apple Intelligence is the closest to a personal assistant that we have gotten so far and what Siri/Alexa/Hey Google failed at for a decade.

> but by the time it launched on the market in 2005, X86_64 was the new undisputed king of CPU performance

PS3 Cell could do about 154 GFLOPs across it's 7 cores (6 SPUs and 1 PPU, excluding the GPU), while Xeons were in the low double digits. What really was awkward about the Cell architecture was the DSP-style nature of it, which works great for something like shaders or audio processing with a clear pipeline, but not for general purpose computation. It was really a successor to the PS2 in this regard, where data flowed between specialized and memory constrained processors using a DMA.

> Sony nor anyone else expected the consumer CPU and GPU industry to evolve so quickly in that time

PS3 used an NVidia GPU. Though there was some clunkiness around sharing memory between the Cell and GPU compared to the UMA on PS4, but not especially so compared to a graphics card on a desktop machine.
they have been doing fraud. but why wont you allow it to be done in a more proper way? its like when EU creates a law that specifies how fast you are allowed to vacuum clean your house. it is retarded. They put a cap on the power a vacuum cleaner can draw, in their infinite stupidity. How about instead, if you absolutely must, mandate efficiency? Their rationale is "if they make it efficient, then they dont need the power draw", so how about mandate the efficiency? but no, they dont.

Also, government oversight and involvement has ONLY gone up, and with it, corruption aswell. The more government you have, the more it will be corrupted. It is a natural law that you cannot deviate from. What we need is a very very small but razer sharp and enforced set of rules. If a company knowingly frauds, they must be punished so severely that it will make ALL board members crap their pants at the thought of even an accusation of fraud even being made. EVERYONE that can be proved to have been involved would be punished so severely they never see daylight again, except 10 seconds before the firing squad (which starts by aiming at the feet, and then work their way up).

I consider a company lying to be fraud. Boeing should be publicly stating what their quality controls and engineering standards are, and when someone then is found to act improperly, the punishment should come down with a force currently unthinkable.

what I dont want, is a giant "im here to help" government (that we already have) that will without question be corrupted and uglier than tolkiens orcs

> > There would be an equilibrium. If the need is an average of 1.2 stories, why would developers build until there is 2.5 stories?

> Because LVT doesn't scale with buildings.

This has nothing to do with LVT. Unless you're claiming that somehow a LVT would magically cause developers to collectively throw any economic sanity to the wind and build a massive oversupply.

> Suppose you already have enough housing. More than enough, even. There is a 25% vacancy rate. Units are renting for $2000/month, half what they were before LVT. Of that, $1000 is the amortized construction cost and other upkeep. For a 1-story building, there is also another $1000/unit/month in LVT. They're already losing money because 25% of their units are vacant and they'd need a 0% vacancy rate just to break even. But they also lose money by renting for any less than $2000/month, so they're resistant to lowering rents below that because a large proportion of the units are the existing single-story housing stock.

So what this means is that there's enough demand in the area to keep land values at that level, and it's profitable to demolish small buildings and replace them with taller ones. OTOH if there's already an oversupply of housing then the land values would decrease. Eventually you have some kind of equilibrium.

> If you're in a place like NYC the developer of the 50-story building is making a lot more money than the developer of a 10-story building notwithstanding the higher construction costs

Well that's the point yes. In highly desirable places like the center of a big city like NYC, land values are huge and thus an LVT would be very high as well. Out in the boonies land values are low, and so would the LVT be. So people and businesses can choose from a range of options, between cheap land/LVT in the middle of nowhere and expensive land/LVT in the center of the city. Just like they do now without a LVT.

> In general a broad-based tax so that the rate can be lower and minimize the distortionary effect, e.g. VAT.

Unfortunately VAT is highly regressive, so while a modest VAT has a place in a broad based tax regime, it's a very bad idea as the sole tax.

> Moreover, if LVT causes land values to go down and then generates negligible revenue, this is a problem unless you find it convenient for the government to have negligible revenue.

An LVT is unlikely to make cities unattractive for people and businesses, so desirable places would remain desirable despite being saddled with a high LVT. I'd be more worried about small municipalities out in the boonies, they might not get very much revenue from a LVT. Not zero though, there's still value in, say, farmland, or a plot that is located besides a road, and has electrical cabling etc.
I am not convinced about the wisdom of forbidding to take the hand luggage.

It is true that there are many people who have a big and awkward hand luggage or who need a very long time to recover their luggage from overhead.

There are also many other people who are able to recover their hand luggage from the overhead in less than a second and in much less time than most other passengers are able to just stand up.

I do not see why such passengers should be penalized, even if they would certainly not slow down the evacuation. Losing the documents and data from the hand luggage may cause very serious problems that could need many months of work for solving and passing through many unpleasant experiences until then.

The only argument against this that is correct, is that like in every other domain people would self-assess their own abilities too optimistically, so even those who are slow would believe that they can retrieve their luggage fast enough to not hinder the evacuation, but then they would be proven wrong.

Perhaps the passengers should pass a test of hand luggage retrieval speed, before the flight, in order to be pre-approved for keeping their hand luggage in the case of an emergency landing :-)

Functional Programming Design Patterns (2014)
Creating is a muscle. For some people who haven't used it much it may be stiff, or not very strong, but everyone has that muscle and can train it.
For on-device AI as a matter of fact it is. 35 TOPS vs 17 TOPS is quite substantial. For reference Microsoft demands 40+ TOPS for “Copilot+” PCs.

A case for client-side machine learning (2022)

Now we have gone full circle back to building web apps using something like htmx and no longer have a complicated mess to deal with. Render html on the server. Push it to the client.

One of the most interesting things about Apple's design here is that by heavily restricting the ways in which their on-device LLMs are used they've massively reduced the scope for hallucination.

It's far less likely to cause problems when limited to tasks like summaries, copy editing and short text rewording.

Hallucination is most likely to cause headline-grabbing mistakes when you use LLMs to answer questions about the world or generate larger volumes of text from a short prompt. Apple effectively outsource that to a clearly branded ChatGPT integration, neatly assigning any blame for hallucinations to OpenAI.
Its interesting that the takeaway here is that teenagers are too fragile to do a job and must forego learning a new skill. Is the idea really that it's okay to die on the job as long as you are 18 or older?

Roofing companies shouldn't have anyone falling off the roof, there are OSHA regulations for a reason. 16 year olds being bad drivers has nothing to do with their employmwnt status. Using trenchers is dangerous no matter who you are, that isn't age related and if we are collectively concerned with how much damage they can do we should not use the machines.

Protecting and teaching kids is totally reasonable, but how far down the path of trapping them in a bubble do we really want to go?

Apple Intelligence is not just about AI. Although none of us have used it yet, from the keynote, it's clear that it can benefit people who are less technically inclined, regardless of age. For example, while my mom might struggle to use Apple Photos to search for specific pictures, she would have no trouble asking Siri for all the photos of her granddaughter dressed like a princess. The goal here is not about bleeding-edge technology or AI; it's about providing more natural interfaces for users, whether they are tech-savvy or not.
