What's incredibly annoying is that a lot of the SwiftUI components are just wrappers around the equivalent UIKit components (eg. ScrollView/UIScrollView), but are missing a lot of the functionality of the underlying components.

These should really be open source: it's such a waste of time to have to experimentally poke around to see how the SwiftUI components interact with their UIKit counterparts, when these should really just be straightforward wrappers.

In many cases, the declarative APIs are just poorly thought out and/or clearly not "battle tested", and there is a lot of API churn in really crucial components which are also often not backported to older OS versions.
Show HN: Platle – The Better ChatGPT
Hey there HN! I'm Ekomobong, and today I'm launching Platle, an innovative autonomous learning platform designed to empower students to reach their full potential! With features that encourage collaboration, research, and meaningful discussions.

I noticed the general trend in the way LLM apps were built, with the terrible and lazy designs, some of which include ChatGPT, Claude.ai, and so on. Most of the focus was placed on improving the underlying models, and little to no attention given to user experience. Anytime I stare at the design of ChatGPT and Claude.ai, I genuinely want to puke.

I also noticed how I couldn't collaborate with actual humans while researching. Oh, I know why—because the whole messaging from day one has been about surpassing humans: "Oh, this is better than a PhD-level student." Actual customers don't care about that, lol. I also believe that the goal of AI should be to enable people to reach their full potential; having a goal that speaks to the effect of surpassing people is just lazy.

Tired of all this, I set out to build Platle. Platle enables you to research and chat simultaneously and in real time. Sharing research on Platle does not create a 'dumb' duplicate; rather, it's more of an invite for someone so you can collaborate with each other in real-time.

You don't chat with an LLM; you research with an LLM and then chat with other humans. Spoiler alert: the LLM is not a living thing; it's inanimate.

With Platle:

[1] You can do a 'live search' if you are not satisfied with a response. This brings relevant and latest news on the subject, if the LLM is not aware of it yet.

[2] You can get a solid visual diagram for any response you don't understand from the LLM. You can also share that diagram.

[3] You can export responses from the LLM in any of the following formats: .md, .png, .tex, .docx, .pdf, .html.

[4] You can research YouTube videos and websites by actually entering the links into a provided input like a normal person. ChatGPT really sucks at this for a company that is worth $150B.

[5] You can also research those really long and boring lecture videos you watch all the time, whether it's from youtube or your local device. Yeah, ChatGPT also really sucks at that - $150B????????

[6] Platle also has a LaTeX editor, which of all these AI platforms seem not to ship with.

You can give it a spin at https://platle.com.

I'd love the feedback! :)
Make's killer feature is running only the necessary commands to bring a target file up to date. Support for phony targets is a hack on top of that.

I like what you're exploring, but it's not "make".
Interesting -- they do send a List-Unsubscribe header with an unsubscribe link that seems to work (and contains a JWT, curious), but no regular HTML link.
Cheating is commonplace in lots of games much smaller than that. Company of Heroes 2 (an RTS released in 2013) for example is pretty much ruined by map hackers.
Browsertrix (and Webrecorder tools in general) also violate the standard by modifying response data. It's supposed to be the raw bytes as they are sent over the network (minus TLS).

The entire WARC ecosystem is kind of a mess.

What does 5-10 means here?
Problem with analogies is that they are all made up.
i’m talking about consistent HID, proper negative space, consistent padding and margins, copy etc rather than visuals. It’s more science than art.
It’s more complicated than that (you’re assuming that the bigger CPU is optimized for the same workload) but it’s also irrelevant to the topic at hand: they’re seeing this NPU within a factor of 2-4 of the CPU, but if it performed half as well as Qualcomm claims it would be an order of magnitude faster. The story here isn’t another round of the specialized versus general debate but that they fell so far short of their marketing claims.
They are grid-wide plants, which don’t need to be near large population centres. Sierra Madres/Rockies offer great elevation gradients in West TX, if one would want to keep it in the state.

This is a consideration but I don’t think it’s the real reason we don’t consider these plants.
It doesn't do this for me. I've got side-loaded and Amazon store books on the same device, no problem.
No, they were the intended targets of those attacks. The term "collateral" means "unintended".
I've been using a Kobo Clara Color for several months. I love the size and functionality, but the color isn't that big a deal since I'm not reading picture books.

There have been plans drawn up for space telescopes flying in formation to do the same kind of interferometry thing as the Keck observatory.

The problem is that even far from the Earth, there are tiny but significant forces pushing the space telescopes around. Solar wind, outgassing, gravitational influences from planets, etc...

The precision required to maintain formation is... challenging.

E.g.: https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.09583
I’m on the latest update too and, yes, sometimes I can’t get the menu or bookmark to open. I have to reboot the device to get it working again. The previous updates were fine.
Author is unclear how many flights they've been on with the headset, i.e. could be 5 flights, could be 7, could be 10

Yea, we know that. I believe that’s why the person you’re replying too was asking for examples of real usage.
> "Spatial Audio" is "simulated" surround. Apple is undoubtedly using its engine to pan the audio as you move around in this example, but the main point is to market Dolby Atmos as useful with only two speakers.

Apple Music marks Dolby Atmos and Spatial Audio separately. They are not the same experience for the listener. They do work well together.

Since we only have two ears, a degree of our surround cue comes from where the sounds are when we move our heads.

Apple's "motion tracking in space" spatial audio implementation taps into that to an uncanny degree, because your own motion is not simulated. Real motion in real space results in a real sound difference from the sound model that, you're right, is simulating how that motion should sound relative to the origin.

As a listener, you start to forget the sound isn't centered out there on the anchor point, and then you start thinking the surround sounds are really surrounding you...

Here are two different explainers:

- https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/05/18/apples-spatial-au...

- https://www.gearpatrol.com/tech/apple-spatial-audio-vs-dolby...

Note that I disagree with the second explainer's final section that surround sound speakers like Sonos are the same "spatial audio" as the motion tracking sound modeling Apple is doing.

I agree with the first explainer that Apple's Spatial Audio is a system that takes advantage of the gyroscopes and sensors in the listening device and headphones to, yes, “simulate” a 3D listening space that stays static as you move your head.

It's just their new brand name. I get the impression they are bringing genAI to boomers in a user friendly way. While everyone of us on HN have used chatGPT and knows the pros/cons, the regular users need a more gentle introduction using the basic use cases such as proofreading and simple image editing.

I was underwhelmed reading the link about the upcoming Intelligence features, but I put myself into the shoes of my dad and thought... well I guess that's a good starting point.
Yeah, I have a Max Lumi and I feel broadly the same way. My hardware has been great, I use it daily and have read 100s of books and written thousands of pages of notes on it, but wouldn't necessarily recommend it to others because I think mine has already stopped getting updates, the GPL violations aren't great, and the cloud stuff seems a bit dodgy.

On the cloud stuff though -- note syncing has support for WebDAV, so I've fully disabled the Boox Cloud integration and all notes get synced to my self-hosted OwnCloud server, which is nice.

I'd love to figure out how to install some stock Android or Linux on it down the road, though Boox's notes + reading apps are really quite good, and likely very optimized for the hardware.

> I'm going to play devil's advocate and say that people probably need to either be more honest, or need to pay more attention.

Neither the Devil nor Adobe need an advocate, but maybe you could help Adobe out with the Justice Department law suit around subscription dark patterns[1]? That signup page you took a screen shot of is the current version, older ones had more dark patterns and definitely were not as clear, hence the Justice Department law suit.

There are issues other than not ported bugs. Redstone in bedrock is know to be unreliable.

For example, in Java version if you take a circuit and activate it with a button/lever - it would always behave in the same way. In bedrock same setup could have random result. And "random" is something you don't want in a large sophisticated contraption.

I'd guess it's caused by some race-conditions in bedrock implementation, but alas it wasn't fixed in 7 years.
It might not be compressing more (haven't yet looked at the paper). You can have fewer but larger tokens for the same amount of data.

It would decrease the workload by having fewer things to compare against balanced against workload per comparison. For normal N² that makes sense but the page says.

We introduce a new linear DiT, replacing vanilla quadratic attention and reducing complexity from O(N²) to O(N) Mix-FFN

So not sure what's up there.
I'm not saying that the self is absolute, but I would definitely not call it fickle. Flawed yes, but that is why it's not absolute. I'm only saying that the self is the best thing I can know.

The two banks I use provide information about your subscriptions and allow you to cancel any of them with a click of a button. I'm not in the US though (relatively poor "global South"); sometimes it pays to get technology with a significant delay.

One of them can also create zero-cost virtual Visa Golds in a couple of minutes. If I need to use a really sketchy service, I simply create a throwaway card, put a bit of cash there, pay for what I need, and then delete the card.
So we still need a passkey + second factor, isn't that the case?

It seems like a passkey is just a password though

Like you, I cannot sleep on vehicles, but I used benzos on a recent flight, and it was like an instant time-skip forward during nighttime of the destination time zone, which helped with jet lag. Benzos are pretty terrible for you if used regularly, but if you have the self-control to limit your usage to a few long flights a year, it would be irrational not to take advantage of them. (I am not a doctor)
Errr. French is _not_ based on usage but has an official rulebook that is maintained by L'académie de la langue française. Obviously nobody is coming after you if you don't respect the rules but there absolutely is a defined standard. This makes French useful for international standards and treaties because the wording can be very precise and leave much less to interpretation.

To my knowledge there aren't that many languages that are managed as officially as French is.
WITCH!!

It also deleted all my side-loaded books. That was the last straw for me. I only buy DRM-free media from now on and only use respectful hardware. I use my Remarkable 2 primarily for e-reading now, though I concede fully it's not the best user experience for reading. But I don't have to worry that it will delete my books! I can also now "write in the margins" which I've found to be a powerful way to take notes. I can't bring myself to write on physical books, but with Remarkable you can have a copy that is stock and a copy with your notes on it. Best of both worlds!
> No. Censorship is when the government kicks down your door to arrest you for your wrongthink. People getting banned from some site or project because of obnoxious behavior is not censorship, it's just normal social activity and group homeostasis.

The word 'censorship' is clearly defined to include actions by many groups, not just governmental entities.

Now, I think there is a line between moderation and censorship but it is not based on who is doing it. That line is can get real fuzzy, but in my opinion (and it mirrors some supreme court decisions) the most significant difference is in what they try to control. Moderation tries to regulate how people communicate and censorship tries to control which ideas get expressed. Almost all moderation also includes some amount of censorship.

> Are passkeys replacing passwords, 2FA, or both?

They are advertised as a replacement for passwords, but the truth is that they are orthogonal to both passwords and 2FA. They are a completely different kind of authentication.

Both passwords and passkeys work by proving that you know a secret. The difference is that with a password, the way you prove that you know the secret is by revealing it, which leaves you open to phishing. The other problem with passwords is that the secret is generally one that you are expected to type and remember, which limits how long and random it can be.

With passkeys, the secret is a public key (EDIT: in the sense of public-key encryption. The secret is actually the secret part of a public-private keypair), that is, a long string of random bits that a normal human could not remember even if they wanted to, and the way you prove that you know it is using that key to produce a digital signature for a random challenge. You never reveal your key during normal operation, and that makes it more resistant against phishing.

> What if I created a passkey on some device, lost that device, and my passkeys aren't cloud-backed-up? Would I be able to recover my account, or it's doomed? Or does it depend on how a given website implemented it?

It depends on how a web site implements it, but keep in mind that everything that makes it easier to recover from a lost key also makes your account more vulnerable to attack. So having backups of your passkey keys is a really good idea. But those backups don't have to be in the cloud. You could keep local copies on your own devices, or even print the key on a sheet of paper and keep that in a safe.
That's not unreasonable if you have good tests that hit the right elements. My experience about 10 years ago with the AP exams were very positive. The tests were good, and even though the classes were taught to the test, they were some of the best classes I ever took.

What is MIR in this context? On the one hand, given the mention of Cranelift, it seems like it could be referring to the Rust compiler's intermediate representation, but given the context perhaps it's referring to an independent intermediate representation that also just happens to be called MIR?
