I completely agree with this. AI is merely a tool. An advanced auto-correct, a smart fill-in-the-blanks tool. It doesn't do anything on its own. A human has to be involved in the use of it. Imo that human should be the one that reaps the rewards.

Maybe one day when AI can be legitimate actors themselves this might change, but for now AI doesn't do anything by itself. There's always a human involved to some extent.

Although I do think that one aspect that should be considered is the amount of human input to determine whether copyright should exist on the work at all. If I just generate an image with the prompt of "beautiful girl" with all default settings, then I think there would be a lot of other people that will generate the same (or substantially similar) image.
I have used my Android 9 flagship smartphone for 6 years without issues, but had all sorts of issues on iOS when I avoided updates, specifically with apps, missing or broken.

Unlike iOS, most feature updates on Android are apps, not OS versions. iOS tends to be monolithic.

You don't need to update to use the latest apps or security updates (which is also a patch), at least for a while.

Android updates would make sense if the smartphone hardware advancments stop and the battery is easily replacable for a decade usage and more.
e.g 8+ year old Android 7 devices are still supported and usable but slow.

Many manufactures release OS updates without incrementing the version, they're usually low level fixes (mic, battery, speaker, sleep etc).
Yeah I normally don't make any music, but I really like glicol. A while ago the author of glicol 'shilled' it on HN, and I was really blown away by the demo tracks, for example:

Discourse is written in ruby, and it's not as performant as I would like. Discourse isn't really suitable for running on, say, a Raspberry Pi 5. It's even somewhat sluggish-feeling at times, running on a 4ish year old PC as a server (which my own org does, in a Docker container in Debian). We have a low user count, so that sluggishness seems unreasonable.
Source? I remember them disabling search history if you didn't sign in, but not any other critical features. Moreover as I mentioned in my previous comment, only a third has this feature enabled, so whatever feature google is withholding must not be that important to most people.
At this point, absolutely. At a guess I'd say that most of the real grassroots use of that nom de guerre faded out by 2010-2015.

> Nowadays I'm think we're better served with a SQL queryable RDBMS to store directory-like data

Maybe, but most RDBMS' suck a recursive self-referential queries, which mandatory for making a directory system not suck to use.

> modernising the query language using JSON over a HTTP(S) transport

Eh. Modernizing the query language would be nice, but there's a reason most databases don't make HTTP + JSON the primary method by which you interface. Some LDAP systems get absolutely hammered, you don't want a bunch of unnecessary overhead and connection-building to add to it when you really don't need to. Also expressing queries sanely in JSON would be a pain, you'd either just be wrapping a plaintext query in an object or doing something incredibly misguided with trying to represent the query structure as a bad AST using JSON types.

Trump appears to actually regret the overturning of Roe v Wade: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/24/us/politics/abortion-ruli...

Trump isn't ideologically opposed to abortion rights. He just gave the conservative base what they wanted, it appears without fully thinking through the consequences. And then when he was hit with those consequences, he discovered he didn't like them.

And now he's ripping the national abortion ban out of the GOP platform, and pro-lifers are upset, but they just have to take it, because they've got no one else to turn to: https://www.axios.com/2024/07/09/abortion-ban-gop-rnc-platfo...

> Point is, he took part by taking advice from the very people that laid out Project 2025 and he will again - it's a prepacked hit the ground running scheme to solve many of the gripes Trump had last time around.

I agree he's probably going to do some of the things they are asking. Something like making it easier to fire federal bureaucrats who are trying to oppose his agenda from within – I can see why that would appeal to him. But other stuff in Project 2025 probably doesn't.

Also, having very briefly skim-read Project 2025, much it just sounds like a return to the policies of the Trump I or Bush Jr administrations on various issues (e.g. reinstating various abortion-related funding bans which the Biden administration reversed). Which is the typical yo-yo of American public policy – a lot of stuff gets reversed continuously depending on which party is in power.

It's a backend for qemu's cpu JIT that doesn't actually JIT code for the host CPU, but code that's simply more performant to interpret than the target CPU arch as a set of JOP/ROP gadgets. It's so it works as perfomantly as possible without in case without the ability to set pages executable like on iOS.

It's not an overreaction. The idea of everyone willingly sharing the details of their every movement with sociopathic corporations who are beholden to national security letters would have been met with ridicule 30 years ago.
I was curious, so I looked into it.

- TCG = Tiny Code Generator; QEMU's framework for emulating CPU architectures via translating instructions[1]

- TCI = Tiny Code Interpreter? The source code says: "(TCG with bytecode interpreter, experimental and slow)"[2]

- TCTI = Tiny Code Threaded-Dispatch Interpreter? The source code says: "TCTI (TCG with threaded-dispatch bytecode interpreter, experimental and slow; but faster than TCI)"[3]

So, apparently, it's some kind of optimized interpreter. Exactly what it means by "threaded-dispatch" is unclear, there's some surprisingly tricky looking things going on[4]. Does threaded refer to OS threading, or does it maybe mean that it's doing something a bit more like a cached interpreter? I wonder if it's even more clever than that.

Threaded interpreters are a kind of interpreter that runs code by having an array of jump addresses in a row representing the ops to interpret so that you can amortize out the decode step.

It works kind of like ROP/JOP gadgets.
Because

A. I didn't know I didn't have my iPad until I was on the plane. I carry it on all trips. And this shouldn't be an issue anyway.

B. They suck. My girlfriend has a Belkin one in her car that produces so much hiss that it is perceivable as, I'd say, 60% of the volume of the music we're listening to. And when the music fades out, it has some absurd AGC that pumps the hiss up to program level.

C. You can't power the device if the Lightning port is occupied by a dongle.

It's disgusting that consumers tolerate this BS and then make excuses for it.
One way to think about manufacturing something is to see where the line is between assembly and manufacturing.

With electronics you might get your PCBs manufactured and assembled by someone else (it’s a specialised job that needs expensive equipment).

But you can do the design locally with skilled engineers.

With enclosures and plastic parts you need injection moulding setups - again a specialised thing to do. So you might also choose to outsource that.

But you have local people who do the CAD and mould design.

What you’ll end up doing is the assembly side of things - so someone else will be doing the actual hard manufacturing of parts and you’ll be plugging things together and packaging things up.

As soon as you realise that then it’s quickly obvious that should be done where all the component parts are being manufactured.

So, you end up just doing the R&D part.

But eventually you realise that your manufacturing partners understand and know a lot more than your local people.

So, you end up outsourcing everything to China…

Some people think Apple's JIT restrictions standing up to the DMA is a given, but I heavily doubt that will be the case.

The DMA allows for security exceptions only when measures are "strictly necessary and proportionate", Article 6(4). Apple argues that this ban is crucial for security, yet Android permits JIT compilation and maintains robust security on that front for 99% of its user base without significant incidents.
The difference in volumetric energy density is not that big though, and hydrogen is not as flexible as jet fuel or even batteries when it comes to how you can store it in the vehicle.

To be fair, high gravimetric density is a fairly large advantage for an air plane. But the bad volumetric energy density does present some serious challenges.
Threaded code is a way to make an interpreter run slightly faster without requiring a JIT, which iOS bans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threaded_code

I know what words mean, but you're imagining words that don't exist.

> This is very mean and unfair because you're taking advantage of your friend’s feelings and hard work without giving them what they really deserve.

The motivation for the friend's altruism is, in fact, not in evidence. Nor is there evidence that they didn't know they were being underpaid, or didn't know the situation was unclear.

There are many reasons why it might be rational for a developer with full knowledge of the situation to accept low pay to make sure something happens, when it otherwise might not happen for no pay.

And there are situations where something has a truly unexpected upside.

The nasty accusations are that:

1) this is, specifically, "preying on low self-esteem". Where is this in evidence?

2) the developer has "impostor syndrome". Again, where is that in evidence?

You can use your big words if you like. But you are making an accusation that is supported only by your projection (perhaps of your own bad experiences?) onto it.

(I've done this kind of work. Once or twice when younger I would suggest impostor syndrome may have played a part, for sure. But in recent years I have done great work for low pay simply because one specific outcome was a social good I wanted to see happen, and I couldn't have done the work without some compensation. Had that work produced an additional financial windfall or escaped the MVP stage, I would have been there to profit from it. It didn't, for reasons I have learned from. But the social good exists nonetheless.)

Depends on how "old." Just as pretty much every car finally had an auxiliary input (even the cheapest rental car), Apple deleted the headphone jack from its best-selling music player.

And now we've regressed to no aux inputs, no audio outputs, and nothing but shitty Bluetooth. But the '90s Pioneer head unit in my car has an input, as does my stock 2009 Ranger.
"Close enough" isn't good enough apparently.

Our starting point is that a kilobyte is 1000 bytes, but then people say "that's not close enough to 1024, which is a power of 2", and so we redefine the word "kilobyte" to mean 1024, etc. Then I buy a device with a gigabyte and it doesn't have 1,000,000,000 bytes, and it doesn't have exactly 1,073,741,824 (2^30) bytes either, it has some other random number.

So we started with Système International units and a common understanding of what they mean. Computer people said, "that's not close enough, let's redefine standardized words so they will be exact", and then they use those redefined words in an inexact way.

And for the sane normie people, a kilobyte is still 1000 bytes.
> Time may improve Apple's risk/reward for enabling virtualization in specific iPad use cases.

It's more likely that the EU will improve it.

As things stand today, Android allows for JIT acceleration on all apps, essentially unrestricted. The DMA only allows for security measures that restrict APIs insofar as those measures are "strictly necessary and proportionate".

Since Android manages just fine on that front with full JIT, Apple's defense relying on that DMA exception will fail.
My tinfoil is that Apple banned this specifically because you can use it to get a desktop on iPadOS, which offends their "fingers can't touch mouse apps" sensibilites.

It's not myself I am defending.

That the developer has been paid low is a fact.

The accusation is that they were paid low because they were exploitable due to their low self-esteem.

This is projected onto this fact without evidence. Perhaps from bitter personal experience, but projected nevertheless.
