My take has been that there is literally no good software for it, and it's a real shame because the hardware (and low level eye/AR/etc.) fucking rules. Just do whatever you have to to let me run mac os x apps on this thing and I'll use it everyday

edit: also, i'm an apple fanboy and still very disappointed in how poorly apple handled the launch. They spend billions on R&D and wont even throw a few million at some game developers to port to the platform? what the fuck?
Patreon shouldn't need an 'app' to begin with.

We have very capable web browsers on mobile these days.
At the top of every source file I work on is a copyright. I maintain a program where some of those files say copyright 2014, and I created those files the first time. It's a weird feeling sitting in a single codebase that long. Satisfying but also I can't help but wonder if there are other things I could have been doing instead.
Sorry, no Docker or anything like that but I'll share my story anyway because I had no idea if it would work and I was almost amazed by the results.

I made a prototype of a Dr Mario-inspired game with a new mechanic (the blank half-pill) in Racket. I hand-coded an AI, and then I wanted to see if I could train a NN to predict what that AI would play in any given game-state. Obviously this allows me to generate training data much faster than playing the game manually.

I did get it kind-of working, as you can see in the two most recent commits on this branch: https://github.com/default-kramer/fission-flare/commits/ML/

I learned that the most important factor for me was the size of the training data, e.g. training on 50k games is way better than 10k games. As I recall, I got it to correctly predict the hand-coded AI's move 77% of the time, and when it didn't get it right it usually had a plausible alternate move. I was pretty surprised with a relatively underpowered laptop and a severely undersized data set it was able to get that accurate. (I suppose it is easier to predict a deterministic algorithm's moves than a human player's moves.)

After doing the ML stuff I decided, "okay, enough prototyping, time to turn this into a semi-polished game using Godot." Well it turns out Godot, although it is amazing, is significantly less fun than Racket. So I got this far before I got sick of it and moved on to a different project: https://blockcipherz.com/
I think I lost count of how many companies are currently building this. I'm not in this field, but are they all very different or just trying to be the first to win?
> We need to kill the phone duopoly

We also need to save the world wide web. Most of these 'apps' have no need to exist.
MB has had several settings available only in the cluster menus for a few years. Things such as door auto-lock on/off; daytime running lights (which, bizarrely can only be set on or off when the engine is turned off); easy-entry seat adjust and a few others. I don't know why they don't put these on the center screen menus—the slow and annoying animated carousel-style menus—along with all the other settings. These may be a holdover from the days and/or when they had no center screen menus or even a center screen at all but I think they can retire the practice now.
What you’ve described is not an Apple problem but a specific use case scenario that is in direct violation of Apple user agreement.

Apple’s policy is one account and other family sharing or child accounts.
Honestly, that's the one thing I don't want out of all of this... a secondary iOS app store.

There's real value for me, the family IT guy, not having to worry about my parents, who are in their mid-60s and not tech-savvy, getting told by their "friend" through email to download malicious software to their iOS devices. Right now, you just can't do that. If something wants to execute code on an iOS device, it has to do so through somewhat-sanitized means. It's not 100% foolproof, but getting malicious executables onto an iPhone without someone knowing about it is currently beyond the capability of most threat actors.

Is it as open or cheap as us tech people would like? No. But if I want that, I go buy an Android device.
What about Blitz++?
Take a look at a JSON parser or ORM written in Go. It's god awful the things they have to do to work around Go's type system. The average developer won't see these things, they're typically just writing glue code between Go's great stdlib (which also contains wild things if you take a look) and other 3rd party dependencies.

I think that means you would count as "another AI developer" ^_^;
Glyphosate is far less harmful than any herbicide that was in use before it. That’s why researchers have such a hard time linking it to diseases except in farmers who spray literal metric tons of the stuff. But glyphosate is a red herring - the real nasty shit that is harmful are not herbicides, but pesticides. And what was in use in 70s and 80s is nightmare fuel.
Well, it could. There are really capable self-hostable models.
> Putting it in quotes is misleading, they are actually being forced:

They're not literally forced, they have a choice: A) abide by the rules of the platform or B) leave the platform.

I agree that it's shitty by Apple, but if you start playing the game (being on the AppStore), don't be surprised when you have to continue playing the game by adjusting how you do things.

From Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NextNav

On March 11, 2024, NextNav announced it signed an agreement to acquire spectrum licenses covering an additional 4 MHz in the lower 900 MHz band (902-928) from Telesaurus Holdings GB LLC, and Skybridge Spectrum Foundation. NextNav acquired the additional spectrum licenses for a total purchase price of up to $50 million, paid for through a combination of cash and NextNav common stock. The acquired licenses are in the same lower 900 MHz band as NextNav's current licensed spectrum. On April 16, 2024, NextNav filed a rulemaking petition with the Federal Communications Commission to deliver a spectrum solution in the Lower 900 MHz band to facilitate a terrestrial positioning, navigation, and timing network (as a complement and backup to GPS) and broadband.
> It's a global file with static definitions

Why do you think you define DAGs in Python? The point is to be dynamic, exactly to do things like switching between operator types based on things like the environment. Sorry you really don't seem to know a lot about airflow for your strong opinions against it, I'm out, no offense intended at all.
I would like to have had him wear a red clown nose & walk to stage on soundtrack of The Empire Strikes Back. Nothing more, nothing less.
This also has the potential to exploit the cultural leaning and internal decision making patterns influenced by individuals and change the marketing and price of products in specific areas to exploit them for maximum profit, people form less resourced communities will have difficulty recognizing they are being targeting and there will be less backlash since it will not be recognized, in addition they could claim they did not know about this despite having models and testing out their hypothesis on people from those communities by offering them a pitance which they do not know about and after rolling it out in a few stores it's success will be replacted in the stores in other states, it's not racism for racisms sake it's money does not fucking matter which community it is and their are studies for different communities too for immigrant communities of different kinds, latinos etc. As for the difference in prices bullshit reasons will be made up like transportation and labor costs with the help of accountants just in case it is asked and changes in marketing will be attributed to the people who made the marketing and the data scientist and the team who did this will erase their work such that they do not have the research but they have the "experience" to this for other product categories.
Bullies and assholes often act that way because it's the only way they know how to soothe some kind of internal strife, and because they feel like they don't deserve acceptance as a person. Creating "consequences" of the kind you describe will make it easier for everyone else, and fair enough if that's all you care for. But the bully is only going to have their fears validated by the exclusion, and is just as likely to bed in rather than admit they were wrong. The more difficult but more permanent fix is to help them feel accepted as a person and that it's okay to open up about what's really going on with them. But definitely boundaries should be set, and abuse should not be tolerated in the meantime.
Does the United States extradict American citizens to england on a regular basis for laws not broken in the US?

I'm just struggling... I don't think Musk broke any US laws, and it seems unlikely the US is going to send Musk over to England for expressing opinions not based on fact? Or is it because he's the owner of Twitter, and Twitter served the post up to UK citizens within UK, presumably using front ends hosted in England?

Basicaly I'm confused about how laws can be applied extra-terrorially especially if you think through all the possibilities aboiut how somebody posting in a First Amendment country could have posts shown in a repressive country.
Since creators point people to their patreon page, surely that gives Patreon the ability to show a lower price in the browser even for iOS users.
I really hate how the current pattern is

1. Download seemingly cool app on iOS (free with potential payments)

2. Go through a 30min quizz

3. Required to subscribe for $150/year to start using the app

It’s not free, it’s false advertising
I don’t understand one part: why can’t a creator just decide to not appear in the app?

Are they changing the donation structure for everyone regardless of their interest of the Apple platform? Why should YouTubers be bothered by this change, for example.
Everyone's heard horror stories about Paypal, though. Doesn't seem like a platform that you want to become too reliant on.
> They spend billions on R&D and wont even throw a few million at some game developers to port to the platform? what the fuck?

Porting good games might cost more than a few millions, considering that Metal is a proprietary graphics stack that doesn't have good support (or at all) in AAA engines.
commentators tangentially referenced this when they mentioned that lyles had "learned" how to make a good finishing lunge, but it was also heavily implied that they were talking about the timing of the lunge and not the mechanics.
What do you do on Patreon that only a application could do, and not a website?

I subscribe to a bunch of Patreons, and most of them are videos (which I can view on a website) or they're downloadable assets I use my PC for accessing anyways, wouldn't make sense on mobile no matter app or website.
The existing list of extensions is already quite impressive. But addition of pg_ivm would really take it to the next level.
What a bizarre take. The Vision Pro is not designed for, or marketed to, children.
I haven't used privacy.com but I recall some one saying you can put whatever name you want on the service, which sounded implausible to me. On the other hand, a prepaid debit card can do the same thing so maybe it was true. Obviously this wouldn't work for all services though.
I think there is a lot of trust of Intel. It is the only processor company most people know.

For IT departments I think a lot of it is that they want you to have processors they know work with their software stack. In addition, Intel has their own software stack that works with their processors that include features such as Remote Desktop and security. Intel, like Microsoft, has become very good at catering to the Corporate IT crowd.
There's not really more info on desktop. That said, it links to https://github.com/supabase-community/postgres-new which has some context
Have you actually done this? Is there a common example on the app store?

When did it become possible to download additional executable bundles on iOS?
Until they require you to dig out your CC and input the number and the cvv code to cancel, which shouldn't be needed, but hey, it's "as easy" as signing up. ;-)

Oh, sorry, that's not the card you signed up with... what do you mean you don't have the card that expired last year that rolled over when you signed up?
Bundles can be used for upgrade pricing, you put the new version up for full price (ie. $20) and and a bundle with the new and old version (ie $30, for a 50% discount on it) for those who own the old version. When you buy a bundle you don't pay for the one you own.
> Some comments dismiss this author as a new driver with a learning curve

Which is a faulty way to think about it to begin with because good UX patterns should aim to be as idiot-proof as possible, especially for a CAR of all things. The KISS principle should apply here.

I've had my '23 Model Y for almost a year now and I still find the UX very severely lacking. For example if you want to change the speedometer display from kmh to mph - for crossing the Canada/US border - it's located in a weird part of the "Display" menu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbqibzYjkxE
In English if you say that you are saving 6x more it implies you’ve multiplied a non-zero number (the amount of savings before switching) by six. You clearly want to communicate that your product is 1/6th the cost, with a savings of $250. If the $250 savings is six times what the customer was already saving, then they would have already been saving $250/6, or ~$41.67 by using the other software you described.

It is 1/6 cost not 6x savings.
Can’t wait for this to randomly send tax bills out or completely wipe tax bills for people named “John” after the well known John test and then someone takes them to court.
I wonder how far those rules from Apple go.

I don't know a ton about Patreon, but what if creators have exclusive content available via the app and use that to encourage fans to subscribe outside of iOS? What if creators start an education campaign on YouTube telling their fans to avoid subscriptions on iOS?

I wonder if Apple is playing with fire on this one. If the creator and influencer markets turn on them, I think it could have a non-trivial impact on Apple's brand, especially with younger generations. Many modern creators are also smart business people and they're not going to see much value in Apple taking 30% of their revenue when Patreon is already providing all the services they need for about 15% at the top end IIRC.

Right now I think the biggest change that could help the average consumer would be for legislators to allow, or maybe even require, app owners to split platform fees into separate line items. For example, something like:

Donation $1.00
Patreon Platform Fee $1.18
Apple Platform Fee $0.50
----------------------------
Total $1.68
Well this is the second time Supabase has had a product announcement very similar to mine.

My implentation is more focused on data analysis and visualization via a natural language interface.However, the straighforward database operations that postgres.new tries to tackle are included.

No, the isomorphism between V and V** (for finite-dimensional V) is canonical. The canonical isomorphism T:V->V** is easy to construct: map a vector v in V to the element of V** which takes an element w from V* and applies it to v: T(v)(w) = w(v).

Misery is (usually) a choice. Yes, there are situations of exploitation and abuse, and that's why I put in the caveat, but even if you imagine situations that seem terrible from where you're sitting now, most of them have examples where someone is living them and is still joyful.

It’s the story of VR all over again:

- Awesome technology.

- Strong “wow” moment.

- Doesn’t do anything particularly better than the devices you already have.

It’s technology in search of a problem. There are legitimate problems it solves, but they are always elusively niche.
I'm not suggesting that poetry should be in the Olympics, I'm just agreeing with the parent comment saying that judging could be done the same as any other Olympic sport that uses judges.
Do you similarly hold that Nix v. Hedden decided whether we can refer to a tomatos as fruit or vegetable? Words can have different specific meaning in different specific contexts.

Even within the legal context of one country, you may for example be "a resident" by immigration law while "not a resident" by tax law, or vice-versa.

Yup, and at the time of the Paramount Decree the movie studios had 17% of theaters and 45% of film revenue. And that was across 5 independent studios.

Apple has over 50% of smartphone marketshare in the U.S. and over 60% of mobile app revenue.
All of which is strong argument in favor of replacing all income tax with land tax.

The idea starts to make a lot of sense once you look at its framing. This includes the argument you make above (why can't you hire help out of pre-tax income, like any other business can?) and more on the legitimacy of taxation.

There's an anime from 2007 called "Denno Coil" that focuses on AR compute with devices that look like normal glasses and integrated with everyday life. This is the piece of culture I'd compare against, and use as a barometer to compare where this type of interface can reach a critical mass.
I'll be honest - I'm spitballing here, as I havent made an isometric game yet. My instinct would be that the cursor, a visual UI element, only directly interacts in visual space - ie the screen tile is the screen tile, with no height information. When rendering though, you're projecting logical information to visual information. So when you render an object, you fill some struct that correlates screen tiles with last game objects' IDs that were drawn over it. The cursor logic just queries that structure.

edit: thats assuming you cant select anything that's been occluded. If you need to select things that've been occluded, lmao i dunno

Show HN: Cu29_log, a Fast Structured Text Logging in Rust
This is a Rust crate that enables you to log text in Rust hundreds of times faster than traditional text logging while avoiding the need for parsing to recover values from your text log. This is not a new idea, but since we couldn't find anything similar in the Rust ecosystem, we built one for everyone, including simple Python bindings for the data processing side.

Or maybe, for those not totally lost to climate change denial propaganda, there was always low hanging fruit that would have made our lives better and saved money and we just didn't do it because of climate change denial propaganda?

Insulating houses?

More efficient hybrid cars?

A carbon fee that is returned to the people, mildly diverting the market incentives towards cleaner, greener while putting money in ordinary people's pockets?

Fixing pipeline leaks, moving from coal to methane, from gas boilers to heat pumps, solar water heaters, better urban planning, public transport, modern agriculture, recycling food waste, better landfill design, the list goes on and on.

Imagine the head start we'd have had, and how the market for solar wind and batteries would have been expedited. But no, we spent decades pretending there wasn't a problem and that those who believed there was a problem were Marxists trying to undermine capitalism.

Huh. Why? This seems arbitrary.
The article states that Intel has 75.9% of datacenter CPU shipments and AMD has 24.1%. This implies that ARM has 0% of the server market, which is not the case. I suspect this article neglected to state the important restriction to "*x86* server market", which makes a big difference to the conclusions.

> a more sophisticated version of 'ignore the side effects and likely future consequences of your actions.'

That reminds me of an oft-cited study regarding parents being late to pick up their kids from daycare [0]. Once a monetary fine was imposed, late-pickups actually got worse, presumably because parents felt their lateness wasn't shameful anymore since they were justly paying for extra staff-time. That switch in customer viewpoints to proved difficult to undo.

While I do not think that case was an MBA-tier mistake, there's a similar theme: Something looks fine for sociopathic homo economicus but fails in the real-world of social relationships, implicit expectations, and long-term repercussions.

> actions that are negative to the point of verging on antagonistic towards their employees and customers

Besides raw greed, some of that may be from a quantitative/"McNamara" fallacy [1], where too much emphasis is put on easy numerical metrics when making decisions, and quarterly revenue is easier to have than measuring "customers resent us and our brand is recognizable but only in a bad way."

I truthfully can't imagine caring about how my yard looks that much. It will get mowed when it gets too long but otherwise I let whatever wants to grow, grow, and spend maybe an hour tops on it every couple of weeks. My family would much rather do things with me than see me toil away on a green hellscape.

So whereas authors used to ship a new version, and let people upgrade to that version at a discount, the author now assumes the burden with each new release of maintaining and testing V1 (that’s with all the feature flags turned off) as well as every feature flag between V1 and Vcurrent turned on. One at a time. Sounds like insanity to me.
