My point was that the idea of anti-steering in retail is old and the idea of "gatekeepers" is new. Apple isn't unique. They are behaving exactly how you would expect if a regulator suddenly tries to stop them from doing something that was previously routine.
For starters, catch the violators and fine them.
Yes, all sorts of nonsense like that still happens.
She's not a reporter. She was fired from Apple for breaking an NDA. This isn't the first time she's made sensational claims against Apple.
Factors that I see from the article that are driving up shopping costs/delays:

1. Unexpected problems in key canals. (Houthi attacks on the Suez route and drought on the Panama route.)

2. Possibly some market manipulation by carriers. (The article gestures in this direction but doesn't actually claim collusion to fix prices.)

3. Demand is really high. This drives the congestion in key ports that the article mentioned.

The article text doesn't emphasize factor 3 much, but the subtext of that is everywhere. And that's actually a good thing. Lots of things being shipped means lots of economic activity means lots of jobs etc etc.

tl;dr The world is complicated and sometimes multiple factors combine to make things like this flare up.

My bet: We are going to be fine. The actors in this system will adapt, especially from price signals. Supply of shipping will go up a bit, demand will go down a bit, people will find alternate routes/ports/methods for getting their goods where they want them.
Isn't cruising power much lower than takeoff power? Having enough batteries for takeoff would make these number much smaller.

A lower cruise speed would also decrese these numbers. There is a point in the efficiency curve when it increases the total energy used, but still decreases the power. Maybe it's not a big difference, but using the takeoff power seems unnecessarily pessimistic.
They're just not. The thing they're trying to avoid is a customer discovering a product on Amazon, then immediately finding it for less on the manufacturer's website. And this happens. We do it! So do plenty of other sellers we're aware of. Of course, we have to hide it behind a login or offer a 10% discount on first order or whatever.

Amazon is giving sellers something of immense value (the opportunity to sell physical goods to a huge pool of customers who are ready to buy). Why should Amazon give that access to sellers who are trying to divert customers off of Amazon? They're not running a charity. It's their business, which they've built over decades of immense investment and effort. And the immense value of what they've built is evident in the difficulty other massive retailers like Walmart, Target, Kroger, etc. are having building similar online retail businesses.

I'm not advocating for less regulation in the slightest.

I'm saying that when a corpo breaks laws (don't follow regulations and lie about it), the fines need to substantially hit their shareholders, so that shareholders are generally aligned with following regulations and will demand additional diligence. Otherwise the game will be as it is - commercial aviation is highly regulated, but Boeing is so big that the fines don't matter to them or their owners (i.e. shareholders).

CSS is both a language and specification defining the typesetting (box) model. While there are certainly incompatibilities between different implementations, where CSS + HTML are well-defined, those would be bugs. That's why it's today actually possible to write one set of HTML and CSS and have it render identically in different browsers.

One could say the same for different TeX "formats" like LaTeX or Plain TeX which can be all be rendered with multiple mostly-compatible TeX engines. If you are familiar with TeX internals, it's outputting layouts of boxes for letters (TFM metrics files for fonts) inside pages (DVI files) that get filled later with bitmapped glyphs from bitmap font files (PK fonts). This is entirely different for PDF/PS-based TeX engines which use vector sizing and which are not identical to original TeX.

There are certainly more nuances (eg. hinting for vector fonts that aligns curves to pixel/dot grid), but languages and layout engines are usually tightly coupled.

I don't see how to make Single Page Apps, or really anything client side in Roc. I'm quite frustrated by https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/blob/main/roc-for-elm-progra... which doesn't answer this which is the first question imo.
I'd both agree and disagree with that.

React is based on the core concepts of encapsulated components, with the ability to manage state on a per-component-instance basis, and for parent components to pass _any_ values they want to their children as props, forming a "one-way data flow" approach.

This is _good_, because it both enables predictable behavior and React's overall rendering model.

It's _limiting_, because it means that React's own state management is inherently tree-shaped. If two widely separated components need to access the same data, you have to hoist the ownership of that state up to the nearest common ancestor, which could easily be the root `<App>` component. To put it another way, not all state is inherently tree-shaped, so there's often a mismatch.

Context is essentially "props at a distance". Put a value in a `<MyContext.Provider>` component somewhere in your tree, then any deeply nested component can read it via `useContext(MyContext)` without having to explicitly pass the value as a prop through however many intervening levels of components.

This simplifies making values accessible to that subtree, but doesn't solve the tree-vs-nontree-shaped state management question.

You _can_ build an entire app out of nothing but React component state. Plenty of folks have done it, but it's limited in what tools you have available and how you can structure things.

That's a large part of why there have been so many different state management libraries created for React, to provide alternative approaches that don't have the tree-shaped issue.

Ask HN: What are the steps to building custom real-time dashboards?
I've been thinking of building custom (any data) real-time dashboards as a side hustle and I've been stuck on how to get the data to a dashboard.

Do the clients have a database where everything is stored? If so how to get that data to my dashboard?

What are the technologies used in building dashboards? Should I use OpenSearch, Graylog, Datadog, Microsoft Power BI, Python...? Where can you host these dashboards so the clients can see it?

If anyone has any experience in this I would love to hear how you did it, thanks in advance for the answers :).
Of course it was: there is nothing preventing a company from contacting the dev team and going "we've one quite a bit of work, are you interested in getting any of that upstreamed". Getting changes upstreamed is in no way the exclusive domain of fully open source projects, it just requires reaching out.

Just because there's a closed development model doesn't automatically imply the devs team lives and breathes "not-invented-here"-ism and are no interested in discussing improvements that make a difference to actual people using Lua in (extremely) large real world products.

Garbage in, garbage out. If the "training data" is scraped from online Taylor Swift forums, where her fans are commenting about something funny she did "OMG Taytay is so funny!" "She's hilarious" "She made me laugh so hard" - then the LLM is going to sometimes report that Taylor Swift is a comedian. It's really as simple as that. It's not "hallucinating", it's probability. And it gets worse with AIs being trained on data from reddit and other unreliable sources, where misinformation and disinformation get promoted regularly.

Ask HN: Exploring Relationships in a 200-variable journal: Seeking Advice
Hi , I’m working with my own journals dataset containing 200 variables, mostly consisting of count or binary values. Zero counts and 0 values are implied.

I’m using Naïve Bayes to categorise the data against mental, physical, and social well-being scores alongside ANOVA and scatterplots.

I’m curious about finding relationships within the 200 variables beyond the well-being data. So far, I’ve created a heatmap based on time-based correlations and identified around 900 pairs with linear correlations using point-biserial correlation.

Any suggestions on additional analyses or techniques I could explore?

Cheers.

I am intrigued and would be interesting in knowing more, but I've flagged this because it has virtually nothing in it beyond what the headline says. It's just a goal statement, and barely that. Nothing about how it might be accomplished, how 3D printing might actually achieve magnets with relevant metrics comparable to rare earth magnets, no indication of how far along the process is, whether it's pie-in-the-sky research job or taking a lab-demonstrated capability out into engineering practicality, nothing that might actually be of HN interest.

As I write this, the story is pointed at https://3dprint.com/310374/magneo-project-to-replace-rare-ea... . If it moves consider my comment here null. I did try to use the article to find a better link, but the article's own link to MagNEO at https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101130095 is just barely better, but the tech jargon doesn't provide a lot of utility to me.

I had to read an early blog to figure out what it was:

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/engineering-at-microsoft/dev-...

"Copy-on-write (CoW) linking, also known as block cloning in the Windows API documentation, avoids fully copying a file by creating a metadata reference to the original data on-disk. CoW links are like hardlinks but are safe to write to, as the filesystem lazily copies the original data into the link as needed when opened for append or random-access write. With a CoW link you save disk space and time since the link consists of a small amount of metadata and they write fast."

It seems there is a MacOS implementation: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/79243

But it seems that this is .Net specific and not something that would speed up other build systems? It is confusing if this can apply to other build technologies other than .NET. Can it speed up TypeScript/JavaScript builds? Can it speed up Rust builds? Also what are the speed ups on these other platforms like MacOS and Linux?

Is this something that all build systems and all OSes would benefit from?

I guess this blog post for me raises more questions than it answers.

The Birkin bag is nothing but overpriced hype. De Beers operates in the same manner, creating fake demand and spending tremendous sums on marketing to make you think that diamonds are "rare" when in fact they are not.

These bags are made by Chinese immigrants, not by Parisian or Italian "artisans." How do you think the Chinese counterfeiters are able to reproduce exact replicas that are indistinguishable to the naked eye?

Hermes and De Beers get the last laugh because they know that women are so desperate to appear wealthy that these products sell themselves to these low self-esteem trollops.

I forget what sci fi story explored this, but society bifurcated into two branches of augments. One was what I'll call the "apple" crowd. You could get "boring" upgrades like a Inspector Gadget style hand. Or you could go black market and get cutting edge stuff that could and likely would cause you massive damage. But the drawbacks were outweighed by the advantages you could gain. So the tech companies sort of had clandestine observation reports to accelerate their own research.
Allow me to try again: in the first case you actually see the details in your mind, and you can reason with them, by separating out single details, focus on them, and reproduce them in a meaningful way. This would allow an artist to form a highly detailed image in their head, and then reproduce it on paper. I think this is very rare, if possible at all. (Of course this is possible with simple imagery, but we are discussing photorealistic copies of the Mona Lisa here.)

In the latter case, one assumes to see details, but in fact one does not, and one cannot focus on details, nor reason with them.

I'm painting a black-and-white distinction here, but I suppose that in reality it is even more complex.

Does this make sense, or do you still insist that there is no meaningful difference between these two interpretations? In that case, could you point out where you think my reasoning goes wrong?

First code reviews are always interesting with interns, I love reading through them to learn stuff (I'm an operations focussed / sysadmin type, coding is more something I've picked up as I've gone along and wanted to automate stuff)

This particular intern was dead set on this red-black tree, despite it being rejected constructively, repeatedly, every time they tried to introduce it, and despite mentoring on the subject from the experienced developer who was his mentor, and guidance from other engineers in the group.

The only intern I every had to deal with who didn't seem to recognise that production code is different from academic code, where the balance on clever vs maintainable is vastly different :)

Mmh. Like I said, I'm not familiar with LispWorks, so take this with a grain of salt, but to me it looks like the system is just retrieving the original source expression that it keeps around in addition to the executable representation. But this is ultimately a question of implementation. My original point was that in Picolisp runtime-constructed lists are directly executable, without any processing. An unroller function that takes an action `foo` and a runtime number, e.g. 3, would return `'(() (foo) (foo) (foo))` and that would be it. In other Lisps you would first build the equivalent of this list and then pass it to `eval` to make it actually executable. Whether this step is expensive or not depends on the system. E.g. efficient closures require scanning the containing scopes and creating minimal state objects. Just storing the parent environment pointer would be super-inefficient and would prevent the entire environment from being garbage-collected, hence my claim that dynamic scope is the only thing that really makes sense in a direct-interpreted lisp, and that the presence of lexical scope implies some nontrivial processing before execution, though not necessarily as extensive as what would usually be called compilation.

Edit: lexical analysis -> lexical scope
Now what makes you think that?
