> If a customer does something stupid and breaks their phone then they shouldn't blame Apple, a responsible journalist won’t make out that it’s Apples is fault,

Even ignoring the existence of plenty of less responsible “journalists”, if Apple were to publish “works reasonably well most of the time in the hands of a careful person with experience” repair manuals, I think it’s certain Apple would be blamed by almost all journalists.

And I don’t think adding stringent warnings to their manuals would make things better for them. On the contrary, I expect “the Internet” would burn them at the stake for adding those terms.

Any complaints shouldn’t be aimed against these repair methods, but at repairing being that difficult for modern stuff.

But even then, it’s hard to complain. Thing is: pouring lots of good glue inside a smartphone and making parts fit incredibly tight together makes them much stronger and makes it easier to make them water resistant.
Building a GPT-Style LLM Classifier from Scratch
Is there some logic to MediaTek's naming conventions, or all their devices just MTxxxx where x is some incremented/random number?

I have a device with a mt6631 wifi chip and I'd assume it's unaffected just because it's not mentioned as affected anywhere, but it's hard to tell where it might fit into the lineup.

The Visualization of Differential Forms (2021)
even reddit was laughing so hard at that game that moderators had to purge and lock threads about it all the time. this was the first one I recall seeing: https://old.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/1d4ylfi/concord_mig...

it is blatantly obvious why that game has failed as hard as it did, just from that screenshot alone - tumblr-tier design, twitter-tier writing, targeting the virtually non-existent "modern audience". the talk about market saturation and such is just a cope - this game could come out before Overwatch was even announced and be F2P and it still would've failed just as spectacularly.

"Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made". yes, you can take a franchise with an existing following and "reimagine" it for "modern audience" and succeed (financially) to some degree, but Concord had neither a following nor positive studio reputation to burn, and the result was painfully predictable for anyone with two brains cells to rub together from the moment they saw a glimpse of that steaming pile of shit.

There are in fact laws about individuals reporting cash transactions, such as when entering a country you must declare cash amounts over a certain threshold.

You keep saying that there is no evidence that financial records have ever been successfully used to find and prosecute criminal activity, but I hear about these being the case all the time. A recent one being Trumps payments to the porn star.

> And since these laws were implemented, there is no evidence they have reduced the volume of financially motivated crime.

The counter-point to this is that since the introduction of crypto, the volume of scams has increased - think of those big headline cases like SBF. And of course those countless ones where scammers sieze control of like a hospital's computer system demanding payment in, you guessed it, crypto. If crypto wasn't a thing, then those scams would be much much harder and riskier to execute to the point many wouldn't bother. But with crypto it becomes easier and less risky and the volume of these scams explodes.

I absolutely support privacy rights, but I also don't want people to be scammed because the system makes it easy for the scammers to scam.

An analogy might be that we don't need bank vaults because the police can just find the criminals after they've effortlessly stolen all the cash sitting in the unlocked and unguarded room. Rather than making the cash hard to steal in the first place.
Can you explain? How are they able to check whether someone did a quick “in and out” keylogger or cookie extraction? I doubt they can, because I doubt they store every request (that would go against what they claim for privacy) and I also doubt their DB backup happens on such a high frequency that they could catch this (e.g. minute-to-minute).

So…how? Are you claiming they have oodles of logs and a perfect dork* to find suspicious JavaScript? If they had the latter wouldn’t they already be using it for security?

If you have some method that works do tell.

It's not different, it's just worse. Online there are more people, interacting more shallowly (and therefore judging more superficially and less empathetically), and presenting a more fake version of their own self for you to compare yourself to, and we spend more time wading in it.

PostgreSQL uses OpenSSL for TLS: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/install-requirements.h...

> The client’s private key is not used.

This whole section is incorrect. It's called mutual TLS. The client's private key is used to prove to the server it has the private key for the public key it's handing to the server. Just like the server has to prove to the client, it has the private key to the public cert it hands out.

Otherwise there is no authentication going on at all.

See the RFC: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8446 If you are unfamiliar with RFC's, see Section 4.4 and Appendix E.1, which talk about client auth and the handshake respectively.

> I asked because X509 certificates are complex and difficult to securely parse

Yes, but that's why PG relies on OpenSSL to do that work for them. It's widely deployed, even using client certificates. X.509 is used with client certificates by at least 3.5M active personnel with the US DoD via their Common Access Card, as one widely used example.

> Also mTLS is rarely used.

Mutual TLS or client auth is not often used in the browser context, because the browsers have miserable UX around it. I wish that would change, but I'm one of the very few.

It's regularly used outside of the browser context though. Lots of B2B and Service Oriented Architectures use it.
Not just HN but overall the whole internet. Because all the news and article, tech achievements are pumped out from Uber and other big tech companies.

I am pretty sure Uber belongs to the 1% of the internet companies in terms of scale. 37Signals isn't exactly small either. They spend $3M a year on infrastructure in 2019. Likely a lot higher now.

The whole Tech cycle needs to stop having a top down approach where everyone are doing what Big tech are using. Instead we should try to push the simplest tool from low end all the way to 95% mark.
Sort of, but the same sort of thinking is involved in both at a fundamental level. Most of the coefficients in a QFT expansion can almost be guessed by just considering dimensional analysis. Like the "force laws" of those two theories derive from the dimensionality of space time, the symmetry group involved (which is itself just an irreducible representation of rotations in the spacetime) and then some details having to do with symmetry breaking and the fact that gluons carry charge. Not that all of that is simple, but it doesn't invalidate the logic which gives us the 1/r^2 force law in the classical regimes of gravity and E&M.
But that simply follows on from a shift in consumer behaviour. It’s nigh impossible to sell literary prose at any significant volume unless you have a sizeable social media following.

I drive a 24 year old Porsche and the engine already has a lot more mechanical complexity than most other engines- especially for their variable camshaft timing system.

Any research should be taken seriously based on the facts and methods within the research. If you can't do that yourself you need to become sufficiently educated to evaluate it yourself or identify someone who can and ask them to do it. When you talk about "socials" and "reviews", in general no because you haven't specified if those people are qualified to review research.

If you can't evaluate it yourself nor identify anyone you can trust you can't draw a conclusion. If you try to draw a conclusion without that you are misleading yourself.

Qualcomm Apparently Wants to Buy Intel. Mind Blown
I'm just gonna leave a thought here...

Young people forget how contentious the idea that "tobacco causes cancer" was back in the day. The "circunstancial evidence" was overwhelming[1], so naturally the industry did all it could to muddle the water, in the shape of making money flow towards people who were already predisposed against targeting tobacco. So the thought is: since theres an industry profiting from UPFs, the same will happen around the debate on whether UPFs cause problems.

[1] because the evidence was almost always observational from which you cannot conclude causation, unlike with randomized controlled trials, like with UPFs. They mention to this in the article.
Notably the easiest way to not run afoul of those rules is to not modify the title even if the original title is bad. You do have to squash titles down to the 80 char limit and the same way to do that is delete words, preferable noise words like “very” or “novel” and past that more complex transformations where you maybe change a passive construction into a shorter active construction.

What's wrong with the simple solution, i.e., understanding when the algorithms apply and when they don't? For example, if an RCT shows that in-hospital initiation of all 4 of the heart failure GDMT's leads to reduced mortality compared to delayed initiation of GDMT, then you also have to learn that 97% of patients in the study had a baseline SBP of at least 97. Therefore, maybe you shouldn't start 4 BP-lowering meds on your HF patient with a baseline SBP of 86. If people learn when to apply rules, then I think you don't need humanities education and you don't need a system-wide reset either.

"They were scrappy startups, making products that people actually enjoyed"

We've definitely jumped the shark at this point, every product has become worse and costs far more than ever. I believe we need to go back through the dotcom bust again to get back to what made tech good. Products at a fair price that did what customers wanted.
True, but they did link to the exact timestamp of the original quote, so it's not like they were hiding anything. The only people apt to be tricked are people who make firm conclusions without checking the sources first.
When Porsche says efficiency they mean making more power, not using less fuel. Porsche has a long track record of adopting efficiency tech and using them to make fast cars that still use a ton of fuel.

> Do you expect your iPhone 16 battery press tool to still be useful in 2 phone generations ?

Let's assume a "no" for the sake of the discussion.

> How many times do you see yourself replacing the iPhone 16's battery ?

100s of times (for 100s of different phones, obviously), because otherwise you _would not be buying repair tools_!

The whole notion that you buy a set of high-tech tools and then use them only once or twice is the insanity that causes this whole discussion to even take place. These are tools intended for professional repair shops, not for consumers to repair their own phone.
Dev shops would rather not have piles of laptops with batteries to maintain sitting in their racks/shelves for build and remote testing.

For individual devs laptops are fine, usually, but there's also no solid "reference" platform, since all the laptops are targeting different consumer lines.

That's a bit beside the point though, the Dev kits should've come out months before the consumer products were launched... and failing that at the same time.

Qualcomm and Arrow said the units would ship "tomorrow" in July... and it took over a month (after accepting many orders) before they even updated the stock to a more realistic timeframe, late September.

We have a whole subheader on how AI is supposedly going to kill dGPUs, but the paragraph explains nearly nothing as to why. It doesn't even begin to contemplate the idea that if AI does continue to grow in ubiquity, there's even more demand for compute that handles that sort of workload efficiently, and we know GPUs serve that purpose better than CPUs in the vast majority of cases. It even mentions that AI is being used for graphics purposes in gaming. It ignores all of this to suppose that the distant second in dGPU sales not releasing an already niche card on some arbitrary schedule is indicative of the market as the whole.

It mentions sound cards, but a lot of what killed sound cards is that the only people buying them after integrated audio being a thing were audio enthusiasts, and audio enthusiasts have moved nearly universally to external DACs via USB. They're just as specific of a product, serve the same purpose, and exist across the whole price range that sound cards did and far beyond, for people that want to light enough money on fire. I'd wager the DAC market is far larger today than the soundcard market was even before integrated audio became a thing. Things way have changed so it's no longer something you're slotting in as an expansion card, but it's still an additional purchase for a premium purpose. I don't see dGPUs going anywhere for the exact same reason, barring physics-defying technological advances.

For some more backstory[1] see Sowa, who was also an IBM researcher at the time:

George Boole (1847, 1854) applied his algebra to propositions, sets, and monadic predicates. The expression p×q, for example, could represent the conjunction of two propositions, the intersection of two sets, or the conjunction of two monadic predicates. With his algebra of dyadic relations, Peirce (1870) made the first major breakthrough in extending symbolic logic to predicates with two arguments (or subjects, as he called them). With that notation, he could represent expressions such as "lovers of women with bright green complexions". That version of the relational algebra was developed further by Ted Codd (1970, 1971), who earned his PhD under Arthur Burks, the editor of volumes 7 and 8 of Peirce’s Collected Papers. At IBM, Codd promoted relational algebra as the foundation for database systems, a version of which was adopted for the query language SQL, which is used in all relational database systems today. Like Peirce’s version, Codd’s relational algebra and the SQL language leave the existential quantifier implicit and require a double negation to express universal quantification.

> What they reproduced is the parameters. And that is exactly what you want. A repaired product should be as close to a freshly manufactured product as possible if you're going to be liable for it.

This has some sense to it, mostly from the liability point of view, but this

> if you design a portable consumer device and you know to what tolerance you need a battery to be adhered to the case to make it not come loose, you know what pressure, movement, adhesive etc. are needed to make that happen for the form factor the battery is going to fit in.

as someone who works in this field, this is overstating the matter quite a bit. The tolerances for something like pressure in this instance are going to be wide enough that "press firmly" would suffice in a rework document. It's made to be very simple on purpose for manufacturing, and a lot of slop is built in so that we're not in this situation where microns or milli-newtons matter and cause a battery fire somewhere down the line. The fixtures are primarily for efficiency gains, and in that sense I would agree with the gp that press fixtures are not practically necessary in an at-home version of this process.
