Like the person below said, it doesn't mean you found housing. It might mean you were able to buy a pre pay phone, gym membership, PO box, bus pass, decent pair of clothes, haircut, etc.

Most of the jobs in the world don't rely on Zoom interviews and email. You'll get a phone call and have to physically go interview with someone. Really hard to hide looking and smelling like a mess in that scenario.

I love how they credit themselves for “significant improvements in housing outcomes”, “an increase in financial stability and a greater ability to pay bills and reduced reliance on emergency assistance”, and “substantial cost savings in public spending and a large reduction in public service utilization” even for the $50/mo group.

Makes me wonder why they don’t have a Group D receiving nothing, or if they had one but decided not to publish results on that. (Yes, I know it’s hard to get people to participate if you give them nothing. Maybe delayed payment could work.)
That's not crazy in Denver :). I saw a place which was 850$ a month (literally this month), and it was in a decent location, and relatively large. I totally believe you could find something small and cheap for 500.

> There aren't enough people in most major cities to come anywhere occupying that many bedrooms.

Right now.

But that's because it's too expensive to live there, so people move to outlying areas. But if the cost of housing starts to drop, people will start moving in, which will stymie the cost declines.

I'll admit that I'm not intimately familiar with all of the large cities in the US, but Seattle would be a slam dunk. The suburbs are way more populace than the city itself.

Same with San Francisco, although that city has more problems than just a shortage of housing.

I'm not sure to classify New York City, but Manhattan could easily double its bedrooms with no shortage of demand.
Google Play Store review might actually be worse now. It's certainly slower. It's great that you can sideload at least on Android although making money off a sideloaded Android app is very challenging to say the least.

None of these seem like they're impossible for a company the size of Apple to provide open APIs for. They have even already hinted at that for Apple Intelligence!

Siri has supported playing music on apps other than just Apple Music for a while now too (after taking their time with it for obvious reasons, which I found infuriating as a Spotify user).

The proliferation of "I don't disparage others" is how we got into this mess in the first place.
I had to fix the emergency brake on my car once because it wouldn't pass the annual safety inspection in my state. IIRC the way it's tested is they engage the brake and then put the car in drive. If it moves under . . . I think it was something like 3k rpm, the car fails the safety check.
It's called a humblebrag. Person responded offtopic to demonstrate how savvy they are investing, then steered back on topic with a brief anecdote.
What’s needed is for regulators to step in. Create an independent government-run tribunal to which app store review decisions can be appealed by the developers, and legally mandate Apple/Google/etc to obey its rulings. Maybe the EU will do it.

If the EU mandated it other jurisdictions would likely follow. Even if they didn’t, you’d likely just be able to incorporate an EU subsidiary, then resubmit the app in the subsidiary’s name, and then lodge the appeal in its name if the submission still gets rejected.
We did something similar back in the day, some 20 years ago, in an introductory course, although obviously not in RISC-V assembly.

It honestly strikes me as too trivial an exercise for masters-level.
Nah, embed a javascript terminal emulator and show the effects live.
I could sort of see the justification for requiring notarization giving Apple a kill switch to shutdown malware. But if it's just turning into another kind of app review then we can't really say the Mac is still an open platform.
They were not. (Though IIRC it was unclear from the leak that the IC were successful in targeting their servers; it just indicated that they had a good idea of how they might do that.)
EULA's are quite often unenforceable though, and it didn't save them from the IE browser monopoly in the EU.
I'm personally glad that the Allies were able to keep the information about their plans to land on the beaches in Normandy from "being free", in order to catalyze their victory in WWII.

But I think, charitably, what people mean when they say things like this is that more information should be free. And I think agree with that. But I'm not entirely convinced it applies to everything Assange is responsible for releasing.

OpenAI Email about Unsupported API Traffic on Vercel and Cloudflare
A few makers like myself got a message this morning from OpenAI warning us about access from unsupported regions. It was cryptic and confusing.

We suspect it has to do with Edge function being used on Vercel which in turn uses Cloudflare. Thus, Vercel and cloudflare customers might be affected.
So ultimately, I guess the conclusion is despite the amount of chatter it gets in tech circles and among high profile software developers like facebook and epic, the answer is Apple is in the position its in because it's selling what people actually want and care about.

Which then leads us to ask, why can't the open platforms sell the same thing? Unfortunately, I can only think of 2 answers to that:

1) They are technically unable to. It would appear Apple is right about the security and technical challenges, and making the trade offs they have is the only way to sell what they're selling. And no one can make enough money to fund developing both a fully open OS along with all the other benefits (security, streamlined payment systems, streamlined sync, tight platform integrations, whatever other things you think are part of Apple's "secret sauce"). Fundamentally "open platform" and "everything adheres to a single standard" are incompatible goals that can not be accomplished simultaneously.

2) They are unwilling to. Either none of the developers care, or they don't want to do the hard dirty grunt work, or none of the other players are willing to "share the glory" so to speak with their competition.
Does anyone think they'll keep this up? Or back to glued disposable garbage in 3 generations?

Are you suggesting with this "unable or unwilling to do similar things" part that he should be excused because he tried to do it initially? Should we forgive a lapse in journalistic ethics from that point forward because he started out on the right path and just couldn't stick to it?
I think the general consensus is that Greenspan was an ideologist and effectively a useless Fed chair since he didn’t believe in regulation. The only reason he was probably not ousted was because he had enablers with the added leverage that the economy was doing pretty well during his tenure.
Careful now, or you might just get Safari banned by the App Store reviewers...

Kidding aside, PWAs (also almost killed by Apple in their furious stomping on the ground after the DMA getting passed) used to be the canonical way to get around many App Store limitations in the past. There were quite a few emulators available for it, as well as game streaming clients for things like Stadia.

> Safari on iOS has no issues emulating DOS games, other than the UI, I am surprised someone has not just wrapped a WebView in a console-esque UI.

There's a-Shell, which does something similar, but for WASI as a runtime target instead of DOS.

But to Apple, it usually doesn't even matter how something is accomplished if they don't like the outcome. If they say that "DOS is not a retro console" (what does that even mean!?), they won't allow it in any form. (Sometimes they do care about the how; can't have third-party browser engines, for example.)
I realized the other day, and I might've been in denial about it, but I cannot return to my home city as it's just too expensive now. Even if I wanted too I simply couldn't afford it without introducing quite immense financial stress into my life.

In some way I hope it crashes as well, just so I can get back in if I wanted too, but on the other hand, so many of my friends and family have bought into the "real estate always goes up" mantra that if it goes backwards, they will be ruined financially. With interest rates up and their mortgage repayments going up dramatically, I've already seen more divorce than I ever imagined I'd see. The financial pressure just broke marriages.

In hindsight, I'm probably better off now that I moved away to a cheaper place in the mountains and leave nearly debt free. I invest my money rather than give it back to the bank with interest.

Basically, any impact with a drone will disable it. The trick is actually hitting it. So you either need volume of fire (which implies a buttload of small rounds), precision (which might imply lower mechanical or sensor reliability) or proximity detonation. If you're going for the latter and are optimizing for cost you don't (necessarily) want the smallest round possible.

I don't find "we should do that because that's what we're supposed to do" a compelling argument. If you rephrase the assertion that just leads to a rephrased question, why is the OS supposed to do that?

There are many layers and components, and functionality can be implemented in many different ways in different levels of these things.
Why isn't there a decent parser in the standard library? More than 50% of programs will probably touch json at this point.
I’ll take that as a sign that Right to Repair advocacy and legislation has begun to bear fruit.

It's more likely a sign that whatever OEM they decided to use this time just went in a slightly different direction because it made things easier for them, or they are aiming for the enterprise market that Dell and Lenovo occupy (and where things like "FRU replacement" manuals and labeled screws are still the norm.) MS has lobbied heavily against RtR in the past and I don't think that's changed.

An archive very clearly means something very specific, and it's certainly not the "We want free-as-in-beer content!" thing a lot of people here and elsewhere scream about.

If you cannot or will not consider what an archive is legally defined as, you cannot discuss in good faith about archives, archivists, or the act of archiving.
No, define how dangerous it is please. I’d like to know the odds of dying from a hat falling from the sky.

If we’re going to call something dangerous, we should probably have actual logic and data to support that claim, right?

Drivers are often assigned their next ride while they are still dropping off their current passenger(s), so if they are a good driver they won't look at the details of the next ride until they have dropped off their current passenger(s). Once they are stopped and able to safely look at their device again, they can at that point decide they don't want the next ride. At that point, the app has to play roulette to find another driver.
The US is the reason it's still Finland and not the newest Russian state...
Certainly a response to the burgeoning right to repair laws in various places. A counterexample to the "you can't legislate morality" crowd.

Challenging is better than impossible.

That said, I am left wondering why more major software publishers don't have the option to sideload Android apps. (It was a while since I looked into it, since I mostly use open source apps these days, but it seemed as though most companies were switching to a Google Play Store only route a few years back even though they had the brand recognition to bypass Google's store altogether. The only thing I can think of are support costs, since few people would know how to enable the ability to load apps from other sources.)

> California’s legislature will in August vote on a bill that would require the state’s AI groups — which include Meta, Google and OpenAI — to ensure they do not develop models with “a hazardous capability”.

>“All [AI models] would fit that criteria,” Pliny said.

This bit is particularly bad reporting. Putting aside the fact that the text of the bill no longer says "hazardous capability" (it's now "critical harm"), this is how a "critical harm" is defined (https://legiscan.com/CA/text/SB1047/2023):

(g) (1) “Critical harm” means any of the following harms caused or enabled by a covered model or covered model derivative:
(A) The creation or use of a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapon in a manner that results in mass casualties.
(B) Mass casualties or at least five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000) of damage resulting from cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, occurring either in a single incident or over multiple related incidents.
(C) Mass casualties or at least five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000) of damage resulting from an artificial intelligence model autonomously engaging in conduct that would constitute a serious or violent felony under the Penal Code if undertaken by a human with the requisite mental state.
(D) Other grave harms to public safety and security that are of comparable severity to the harms described in subparagraphs (A) to (C), inclusive.
(2) “Critical harm” does not include harms caused or enabled by information that a covered model outputs if the information is otherwise publicly accessible.
(3) On and after January 1, 2026, the dollar amounts in this subdivision shall be adjusted annually for inflation to the nearest one hundred dollars ($100) based on the change in the annual California Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Department of Industrial Relations for the most recent annual period ending on December 31 preceding the adjustment.

Given g(2), it is very likely that no models that are publicly available have the ability to cause a "critical harm" (i.e. where they can cause mass casualties or >$500m in infrastructure damage via the specified routes in ways that counterfactually depended on new information generated by the model).
Julian Assange published evidence of war crimes committed by the US Army. Both the leaker/whistleblower (Manning) and Julian Assange got their lives ruined over it. What is the lesson here? That if you value your life you should look the other way when you come across evidence of serious malfeasance? That killing innocent people is not a real crime but embarrassing those in power is the worst crime imaginable?

This is much bigger than Assange.
If the company is dictating the terms of what work they take and when, that makes the workers employees.

The key differentiator for an independent contractor is they choose what work to take, and when.

Truly independent contractors would be able to access and accept jobs via Uber, from any client, whenever they wanted.

Uber and Lyft are trying to eat their cake and have it, too: saying, "you're independent contractors [and thus have full control of what work to take and when]", but then turning around and saying, "_actually_, we need you to work only these jobs, only within these hours, for the good of only the company", which obviously makes them employees.

In any conspiracy charge, the "overt acts" are the specific things the accused did to further the conspiracy. Here, the distinction is being made between receiving a random document and publishing it, the way you would if you got, like, military information about Estonia, not caring what Estonia thinks about the classification of the documents, and joining a conspiracy to deliberately take the documents from Estonia.

By way of example: the murder-for-hire accusations against Ross Ulbricht were listed "overt acts" in his conspiracy charge.
