That’s not a good example, I’ll bet 99% of users of that website couldn’t tell you it’s a PWA or what a PWA is. All they know is that the only way to get this “app” is add it to the home screen and if it was allowed in the App Store they’d all get it from there instead.

That’s not customers choosing PWA over native, it’s customers forced to use PWA since native isn’t an option.
It basically is nothing more than a glorified shortcut. The installed app gets a custom load screen. It gets listed on the device installed apps list, and can be removed from there.

But there is nothing a PWA can do that a website can’t do. It’s all about Web APIs. Take push notifications (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web...): they make more sense for an (PW)app, but a simple website can do them too (if given permission).

See MDN intro on PWA: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web..., or https://web.dev/learn/pwa/ for more info.
When did the EU become a country though...?
Nonsense. Chat control is prior constraint of speech. You can't argue that automated content filters are not censorship. You can agree with the ends (or what content is filtered, and even the governance), but the means themselves are thoroughly anti-democratic. And rife for abuse.
Is it true that they give out free BMWs in Moscow? Yes, it is true! But it's not Moscow but St. Petersburg. And it's not BMWs but Ladas. And they don't give them out, they steal them.
Gigantic Jets over Himalayan Mountains
Without expressing my stance on this policy itself: Many measures can be reasonably called "democratic" or "anti-democratic" because they have the potential to affect the ability of the populace to express dissent, and organise political opposition, or because it is seen of creating the tools for the government to create a chilling effect in that respect. As such, it is not at all "obvious" that everyone will agree that it does not affect peoples democratic rights, whether you think so or not.
"Principal" root isn't an interesting mathematical object. It's just an arbitrary way to choose a preferred element from an equivalence class, when you're too lazy to consider the whole class and you want to pretend that 'implies" ("only if") is is the same as " biconditional" ('if and only if").
> I'd love to see a world where more companies self-host the wiki for their game/TV show/etc, especially given the relatively low cost of deploying and hosting, but I also understand that most companies don't have the motivation to do that as it doesn't always directly impact their bottom line and it can take effort to moderate.

I'd rather that communities around games remain more independent of the developers to be honest. The incentives of the two are not always aligned and having at least two independent "authorities" helps keep each honest.
I argue that I’d like to use a JIT in apps on the app store.
"I forgot the password, sorry". I really do not hope they will start putting people in jail for being forgetful.
Politely… they are not and you don’t know what you’re talking about and the word definitely has no place in that sentence.

You’re just mad and upset with them at the moment but the point you are making is wrong.
I would expect that of Apple, yes. Apple should eat its own dog food to make sure that the iOS security model doesn't require exceptions for their own applications.

Identity crisis: sequence vs. UUID as primary key
It’s common in Anandtech benchmarks, eg https://www.anandtech.com/show/15578/cloud-clash-amazon-grav...

Dunno what software they use…
Do you have proof for that, or is this like audiophiles asking for gold connectors because "they make the sound better"?
This has never been the case. Apple has always had non-core apps that use private APIs.

There are adapters for handsets on Amazon, but interfacing to a phone could be harder as you have to provide DC power and deal with duplex audio on a single pair. If you're only using it as a mic, a 9v battery, resistor and decoupling capacitor might work.

An easier way could be to join the conference audio through SIP.

If anything, I've come to like them because you now don't need to hold on to the cap.
To me 'probability distribution' could be interpreted as a bunch of classical particles whose emergent behaviour resembles a wave in some way. Or a series of observations of a classical system whose errors add up to some wave-like phenomenon.

But others in this thread have mentioned that you can interfere a single electron with itself (which to my mind rules out classical-phenonema-which-appear-quantum.). And 'superposition' seems like a better word for that.
Apple is not using any laws here at the moment at least in the US. Jail-breaking got granted an exception from the DMCA by the library of congress. What apple is using cryptography. Basically, the cryptography gives Apple an extralegal means to enforce whatever it wants.

Are you thinking of `.eu.int`? They've had .eu for twenty years or so now.
I think it is too long for the preface, but I will better specify that my code is open source in the libraries and models section, thank you for the suggestion and the appreciation!
> I'm willing to concede it may be a software thing. There are definitely things where being tired doesn't really affect your output very much.

I work on compilers and I'm pretty sure that counts as software.

This presumes one only works on one workstream at a time. I have many distinct workstreams going at the same time (typically 3-4). When I'm blocked on one because of some ambiguity/uncertainty/ignorance I switch to another stream until I decide/find a solution for the first.
Cumbersome compared to what? Ignoring the issue entirely?
How do EU rules not influence the countries which are member states?
I'm all for requiring bottle deposit/returns schemes. I loved the Norwegian one for example, but if you require the return of both or nothing, you will likely end up with a net reduction in returned plastic. If you were to reward returns separately, maybe. But even then you'd be more likely to ensure caps don't get lost if they stay attached.
So all in all, still a mostly accurate news reporting, as they go.

Agentic RAG: Definition and Low-Code Implementation
I'd suggest putting down the actual authors. If you're UK based there should really be no issue in putting down each of the people involved and what their background in the industry is. Otherwise this just looks like a v1 to get people interested and v2 could include malware. Tbh it'd be quite a clever ploy if it is malware. Trust isn't built blindly, most smaller software creators always have their details known. I'd suggest if you want it to pick up traction, you have a full "about us" page.
Sattelite megaconstellations jeopardize recovery of Ozone hole
Its grift. Why does the US have to spend money on military aid to first world countries, even if a very sizable chunk is spent on American weaponry?

That money could be spent on maintenance rather than fattening our MIC.

NGOs are similar. In theory they sound good, the leaders can pull sizable salaries, eclipsing any congresspersons earnings and they are incentivized to keep the bad thing happening—if they solved the problem their reason to be would cease.
Flip phone sales are surging as folks seek connection without distraction
A few important lessons here.

You dont tell someone NO. You say, I could do this, or I could make this change and it would work in a standard way. If you want me to do it this other way, I can but it is going to cost XXX extra hours to build it, and probably incur a lot of future work to maintain our own "version" of this.

Then when they say "do it that way" you go into your planing meetings and say "task xxx is 2x longer for a design deviation"

Make sure if you say this, it goes in an email. You know why all the old people send you emails for bullshit? Because we have all been burned and know that we can keep copies of that for CYA reasons.

I didn't see an email (a lot of them) is a bad excuse 6 months down the road. When the bills come due and the design team is getting a beat down.
Perhaps they have a new tokenization method that's non-deterministic? If there are parallel lookaheads, not necessarily an rng, race conditions could make for variable cost. Or an expansion of certain terms into multiple token outputs, but the selection of which terms are expanded is based on a dynamic pool of Named Entities being recognized. Or maybe they just want to hide their process.. there is some secret sauce there even if it's deterministic, and so much depends on getting a good initial embedding, I've seen a tokenizer make or break an otherwise great model.

I am merely hypothesizing, it may not be nondeterministic but I'm not going to assume it's not.
I thought this article was going to be about all the satellites and used rocket parts we dump in the ocean all the time, which is a problem that doesn't have a great solution other than launching cargo ships like Starship to retrieve old spacecraft for recycling.
It sounds like you're describing starting a group fictive video call and then nobody turning on their video. This is different than an audio FaceTime call. Try doing this with a single person and compare the audio, there is a noticeable difference though which is better is probably preference. There is then also a difference in how the OS treats the call.
Enzyme is kind of dead, so it would mean picking up sponsorship and maintainership (indefinitely) rather than a one-off project to convert to the official testing library for the ecosystem.
Let's hope cooler heads prevail and Starliner gets sent down empty while a Dragon (or god forbid, a Soyuz) goes up to fetch the two astronauts.

There is no real resistance I think, it's just that the various interpretations are not very relevant in practice. All of engineering that depends on quantum mechanics make do with the standard treatment that has been taught since 100 years now.

The MWI doesn't offer any other way to calculate anything (as it's an interpretation, not a theory). It's a good mental image of what happens though.

I guess at some point there will be some experiment that can be performed that requires a more advanced theoretical method than what current QM provides and then maybe the MWI (or other interpretations) get a chance.
Wait, how do you make design decisions while working on another feature? When is the design work for the first feature done if you've switch to another task?

I slip into this sometimes too, but I feel it's a procrastination pattern to avoid thinking about something difficult, and context switching doesn't really move progress on the original hard problem. It's something I typically try to avoid.
Clang isn't better. It just has a more permissive license so it's what Apple uses.
Something I think you're missing here is that when the bridge collapses, cars can no longer drive across it until a new bridge is built, so the inconvenience is almost certainly much worse than if they'd just closed it for maintenance for a bit in the first place.
That doesn’t make my statement wrong.
You stop production by showing it's harmfulness.
The elections were not for the EU Council, which represents the governments of the member states.

People voted for the EU Parliament, which has a far more negative attitude to this proposal.
> But some of us also want support tech that fulfills the goals of the open web. You don't seem to care about that, but others do. Telling everyone its basically a lost cause is a silly and pointless endeavor, because PWAs are the long game, and you're playing the short game.

Get off the cross, we could use the wood.

Spare me. I love the web, in fact all my “apps” are built with web tech and I offer them all as websites/PWAs in addition to apps but standing on principals of only using the web as some kind of middle finger to the app stores AND your customers is just silly.

So I bite the bullet and wrap my web apps in a thin wrapper and shove them into the App Store. You can call it principles but I just call it stubborn and dragging your customers into a crusade they don’t care about.

At the end of the day I care about the customers of my products more than I care about trying to wage a losing war against something they actively want, apps from stores.

Life is way too short to tie up your identity in things like this. I want to spend my time making products people enjoy using. If you actually care so much about PWAs then stop writing PWAs that your users hate using and go be a full time advocate for that instead. Right now shipping PWAs is a worse experience so the only one you hurt is yourself and your customers when you double down on them.

One thing I find interesting is how much more traction the problem of litter in the ocean has gained, compared to litter everywhere else, or any number of the other problems we have.

I wonder why this is. Perhaps people can still see the ocean as a wilderness, where litter doesn't belong, whereas we are very used to seeing highways etc lined with rubbish?
Good job and congratulations!

Now imagine how much better it would have been if at those points you were refreshed.

Humor aside -

The value of being mentally clear is becoming more apparent as I age.

There were wayyyy to many days I was brute forcing things through persistence.

These were tasks that I could do reflexively, that I had to force my tired brain to think about. With an added side of castigation as I wondered why I was being so slow.

At some point I looked at the time I was spending and remembered “work smart”. Then proceeded to kick myself, take a break, eat, sleep and start a new day.

Productivity and thinking has been up since.

Have to say The worst impacted is memory. Its not the same as when your mind is simply lifting up information from the deepest recesses you forgot you had.
...which doesn't make it right. Even the existence of "private APIs" is a massive red flag. If an operating system feature is accessible from user space, then it should also be documented, supported and legal to use.
It's because the Copenhagen interpretation comes with the standard method of actually calculating stuff. You might call it a cheap shortcut, but it works (so far).

They should pay Gruber more then to keep him from publicizing the issue at all.

That aside, if Apple's sandboxing of the OS is solid, I don't see how a JIT would be problematic.

Not proof, but jerk is a factor when bringing a car to a smooth stop. You have to learn how to brake smoothly in order to avoid the "drivers ed stop" where the car and its passengers lurch forward and then bounce back. But the controls for automated vehicles like airport trams have to be designed to avoid this. The underlying reason is that some components such as the tires and suspension are elastic.

This is in fact an issue for the designers of controls for mechanical systems. I learned about it in Process Control class, albeit 40 years ago.
Yeah but you'll still need something to live around the high performance features and a mechanism to check temporal memory safety would be nice.
Without formal constructions, humans have a nasty habit of proving things that wrong or not even wrong. Our ancestors dealt with this problem in the 19th Century by creating tools to help distinguish truth from balderdash.
I know some of them in person as I'm involved in the bug bounty scene myself. What they work on varies depending on skill set and interest. I do not personally know any security researchers with high impact vulnerabilites in iOS but those people get paid millions and you'll never hear about them.

What I do know is that they tend to sell their exploits through exploit brokers like Zerodium.
You can put PWAs in all the app stores today with a thin wrapper, I know, I do it for all my apps.

It's even in the related articles from quanta now that I see.
The slack blog is for engineers. It's PR to hire in talent.

The INFOQ article is for your C types. It's the spin on what buzz words they should be using with their peers and to make a splash in the market.

NFT, Crypto, Cloud, Microservice, SAS, Podcast (the first time when there wasnt video), Web 2.0, The Ad (double-click, pre google) market, The Dot Com Bubble...

Im sure I missed a few hype cycles in there.

Both articles show how deep we are in the stink of this one.

Not really sure what specifically are you creating here because platform is such a generic and overloaded word.

I have been recently travelling to several countries and personally I have found that for muslim it is difficult to find information on halal food especially if you are in country where muslim is minority. Surprisingly there many restaurant and cafe that are serving halal foods even in muslim minority country but the information on them are very limited especially if their national language are not English for examples India, France and China, where they have many halal food in the big cities but difficult to find one since they're not online or information is not available.

Perhaps your app can provide something like Moovit but for halal and kosher food (since muslim can eat kosher food as well), that allows people to contribute their data. Next month France will host their Olympics event, and their halal restaurants and cafe are plenty, perhaps it will be good to test your app during the time.
at some point we need to bring back the idea of direct democracy on the table (online voting with blockchain or whatever) so that "representatives" are not needed anymore and cant be lobbied year on year against individual interests
Anecdotal evidence:

Ever experienced that a bus is braking (near-constant deacceleration), and people seem fine; but then the bus comes to a halt and thus stops deaccelerating, and people suddenly fall on the floor?

I think at least the derivative or acceleration is important for how well people can compensate. Not sure about higher derivatives though.
Ask HN: What are the good invoicing solutions for agencies?
Hi HN! I have a simple problem: I run what is essentially a dev agency in EU that invoices clients based on either flat fees or time spent. We used to use Stripe, but it was very difficult to get time tracking calculations and sent multiple erroneous invoices.

Earlier this year we switched to Productive (https://productive.io/), which was promising but has been a disappointment. The UI is frustratingly complex and their pricing is out of whack. On top of this, the invoice generation is extremely sub-par in terms of compliance (they don't even support VAT out of the box).

I'm looking at this problem by starting from the invoicing part: We want good invoices with our bank details and possibly a way to process payments. Stripe does this well. We also want to generate them based on time spent. Productive does this well.

Is there a good, reasonably priced product that does this well? Googling leads to just SEO spam.
> A bit off-topic. Does browser MIDI implementation allow syncing across tabs with MIDI clock? It would be interesting to develop an open way to sync all these fun organic generators.

The Web MIDI API can receive/transmit any type of MIDI events, including clock messages, then it would be up to the receiver to be in sync to it. Although as far as I know, JavaScript timing is not very accurate, so I think it'll be hard to actually make things be in enough sync.
The ocean is a major source of energy which could be used to power the thing.

And I'd prioritize ocean cleanup over landfill, first of all. I mean, maybe we use the ocean to construct the fleet, and then when its nice and clean, send the fleet to land ..
>This is elitist and frankly, unhelpful. The answer to a skills shortage is not a practitioner lockdown, but policy, training, guidance and mentoring.

I think the point is that these tools have their own learning curve, and non-tech business people are not doing it well, either; how much different is it from learning SQL? Which one is more broadly valuable and transferrable as skill?

If this is the career you want (data or data-adjacent), why not just learn SQL? There are far more learning resources and the value of the knowledge will assuredly outlast any low-code tool.
Could instead be like the US where citizens aren't even allowed to read parts of the spying laws that apply to them. The endgame being to surreptitiously bug every device and application with local scanning; changes in ToS that allow this invasion are helpfully conflated with the same language a corpo would use if they wanted to train models on your content.

Socialism is not social democracy. Socialism is a economical system where workers own the means of production instead of capital owners.

You do not know the meaning of political terms and are using your own preconceived notions of what they mean to then call a very capitalistic institution (as the EU is) something it's not.

Educate yourself, it will do wonders for you and everyone you interact with.
