The world is a better place because the government mandated interoperability between POTS telephones and that car manufacturers must be supply owners with parts that can be installed by any mechanic.

We can and will have the best of both worlds with open devices that are user friendly. Apple has the resources both financial and technical to make this happen. It's just a matter of regulators making them do it.

I thank the EU for pushing companies like Apple in the right direction first with USB-C, 3rd party app stores and now this.

> Will people try to compel Apple to keep removing stuff until iOS boots up to a prompt where the user can net boot the OS of their choice?

Hopefully regulators will compel Apple to open their mobile devices up the same way that their personal computers are. If I can install linux on my macbook why can't I install it on my iPhone? It doesn't affect people like your grandmother one bit.

Sorry, I may have been carrying knowledge over from other articles on the same incident that showed additional transcripts. It seems that when he explicitly referred to death and suicide, the bot discouraged him from doing so. When he referred to suicide using euphemistic terms such as "coming home", then it gave responses that were encouraging (because it did not detect that those statements were about suicide).
You have to be able to do the activity long enough to get benefits, such as cardio. And an extra 20 lbs can put that in jeopardy. Once you hit that threshold, the weight doesn't matter. But getting off the plateau you're stuck on is the first big step.
I concur. I’ve used ORMs in certain projects, but iterating and optimizing them later on became untenable. I’ve learned my lesson — all my new projects forgo ORMs by default.

Either way I suspect it now doesn't really matter because this is becoming the "Trump-mobile" which makes it a non starter for a lot of politically conscious peoples.
yes, i almost forgot that part. I created splogs to promote businesses. I duplicated the comment spam from other splogs then the spammers could easily find the splog and "update" the page many times per day.

Sorry, I meant to say decriminalization. I live near Oregon and decriminalization was a disaster. This video captures it well: https://youtu.be/2GU3TGSWPsw?si=fie4SFowzdnKNFRK

I dove into this topic to understand what went wrong to the best of my ability. From what I gather, countries with successful decriminalization also have government assistance for the addicted. That’s much different than the US’s “shoot up anywhere, any time.”

That being said, the point I was responding to is that, of the two extremes, total prohibition seems better than total decriminalization.
I made a tool that allows you to use LLMs on large codebases. You can select which files are relevant and embed them into the prompt: https://prompt.16x.engineer/

Based on my personal experience it works well as long as each file is not too long.
It seems shocking to me that the server enumerates and transmits all legal next-moves. I get that there could be chess variants with server side information, but the article also says it might be good for constrained clients. Is it really cheaper to read moves off a serialized interface than to compute them client side??
The EU forced them. Apple has been fighting pretty hard to not have to do any of these changes, it seems they gave up
> My only experience with Rust has been synchronous

It is a shame that the dominance of the "async/await" paradigm has made us think in terms of "synchronous" or "async/await"

> Think about it, if you write a lot of async code, chances are you have a ton of latency, waiting on I/O, disk, network etc

Yes. For almost all code anyone writes blocking code and threads are perfectly OK

Asynchronous programming is more trouble, but if trying to deal with a lot of access to those high latency resources asynchronous code really shines.

The trouble is that "async/await" is a really bad fit for rust. Every time you say `await` you start invisible magic happening. (A state machine starts spinning I believe in Rust - I may be mistaken)

"No invisible magic" was a promise that Rust made to us. What you say is what you mean, and what you mean is what you get.

No more, if you use async/await Rust

I really do not understand why people who are comfortable with "invisible magic" are not using a language with a garbage collector - that *really* useful invisible magic.

Asynchronous programming is the bees knees. It lets you get so much more from your hardware. I learnt to do it implementing telephone switching systems on MS-DOS. We could run seven telephone lines on a 486, with DOS, in (?) about 1991.

Async/await has so poisoned the well in Rust that many Rust people do not understand there is more to asynchronous programming than that
The fine should be a deterrent.

If the fine is too low, it’s just absorbed as a “cost of doing business” and ceases to be a deterrent.
Have you been in one? It's pretty extraordinary as an actual passenger.
It's not a semantic issue.

Yeah, they are generally probabilistic. That has nothing to do with abstraction. There are good abstractions built on top of probabilistic concepts, like rngs, crypto libraries etc.

I don't know. I really don't see any clarity improvements between, `user.password.length >= 8 && passwordRules.every((rule) => rule.test(user.password))` and `validatePassword(password)`. What if you want to add that the password must contain one special character? You don't actually know, by reading the name "validatePassword", if that work has already been done or not. You need to go read the function definition and check. And so even for such a small function, there is no name that you can choose to truly do what you claim and "remove the cognitive complexity from your brain".

Once a function gets to a certain threshold of size and reuse, I tend to agree with you. But I think that threshold is quite large - like at least 40-50 lines, or reused at least 3 times.
Sorry, it seems I was carrying over knowledge from another article with additional transcripts. The bot had previously discouraged him when he explicitly talked about suicide (here's an article that mentions that: https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/characterai-lawsuit-florida-tee... ). It failed to detect that phrases like "coming home" were also references to suicide and therefore responded encouragingly.

the actual title on the link is "Postbox has been acquired by eM Client!" which is different enough to "After 16 years of development, Postbox Inc. is winding down its operations" that I think it should be changed.

When you get to higher level, you’re not doing work but instead you are guiding work and making decisions.

Whenever you don't know which way to go, you consult someone more senior. Those people do the same with their seniors. And so on.

There are many stories from people who have worked with Elon scattered across books and interviews. He makes wild decisions, tells people to do it, and somehow the sum of these wild ideas works out.

Remember, the idea of landing a reusable rocket was abandoned long ago by many nations because it was deemed impossible or financially infeasible. Yet here we are with SpaceX dropping LOE launch prices per kg by 90-98%.

You can call Elon many things, but a grifter he is not.
It's worse in every way, unless you're using a ROM, in which case it's worse in every way and your applications also refuse to start because Google's Remote Attestation service doesn't like you being free (despite Android technically having a better way to do attestation).
Netcode dev here. Predicting the clock is a trivially solved problem. The client and server know the latency between each other, the server can offset the timestamp on the input from the client to compensate for this difference, and the client can offset it's rendering of the clock data from the server. The same techniques used in regular online gaming would apply here. The only X factor here is the impact of the client lieing about its latency to the server, perhaps that could have an impact, not sure.

I dunno, I seem to recall the original Gameboy being this huge brick and that was entirely fine. Dunno where I put it, though... might've tossed it when I got my Gameboy Colour, which seems like the stupid kind of thing I would've done in my early teens.
I use open-source software too, but it (by itself) doesn't stop me from seeing annoying and intrusive ads on internet websites. An ad-blocker like uBO does, mostly (but not completely), though it's much less effective with paywalled sites.

The problem with online ads is mostly orthogonal to FOSS. Of course, it does help to not use an OS with ads baked into the Start menu...
I'd definitely use that, though I'd prefer a social graph protocol which restaurant pages just sort of tap into, rather than having a dedicated site. That way we can use the same trust graph for many applications rather than having the restaurant review graph be separate from the scientific peer review graph which is separate from the trusted mechanic review graph etc...
x86 specifically is extra awful to decode because there's no easy way to tell the instruction length without doing a good portion of the decode process, so it ends up needing to attempt to decode at each byte offset. Valid lengths being all between 1 and 15 doesn't help.

So processing a fetched 16 bytes requires doing 16 partial decodes, each of them non-trivial (skip over unordered prefix bytes; parse fixed prefix before opcode (most bytes are the opcode immediately, except 0x0F, 0xC4, 0xC5, and more for rarer instructions & AVX-512/APX, which have extra skipping necessary); index a LUT by the opcode (with a different table for the 0x0F case, and maybe more cases idk; plus maybe some more length depending on byte after opcode; for some opcodes the length even depends on if a specific prefix byte was given, which intel just assumes doesn't happen and behaves slowly if it does); if the opcode needs ModR/M, also parse that from the next byte (another variable-length sequence)).
That's a great point, I didn't even think of that. I would use error types as well, yes.

> When did I ever argue that it should?

You didn’t, but I would also presume that reason dictates solutions be practical. Modifying the First Amendment is so far out of the Overton Window that I struggle to even call it a potential solution.

> But you could go read Davis and the other case history about the undue restrictions and how a candidates own speech is constrained by matching schemes.

That is not what Davis says; I would encourage you to re-read it or perhaps read it for the first time. Davis doesn’t even have to do with matching schemes, it has to do with differing contribution limits from third parties depending on a candidates own spending.

It’s still profoundly dumb, to the point where I feel worse off for having read it. Apparently a candidate being wealthy enough to bankroll orders of magnitude more funding than an opponent does not create “an appearance of corruption”, despite magnitudes of evidence on how effective advertising is. Alito was either an idiot or corrupt; probably the latter given his rank.

> They were right in many regards. The casual gaming audience disappeared in real time over gen 8 to phones. Even the 3DS just did "well" as a result.

Exactly. Smartphone games were clearly the reason why Vita+3DS sold much worse than PSP+DS. The Vita failed because the market wasn't large enough anymore to support two systems, and the 3DS had more exclusive franchises.
I've been using Postbox for 4 1/2 years. It's good, but always had significant bugs (e.g. when it would grind to a halt while indexing emails). Once or twice a day I'd have to restart it so it would be useable.

I know nothing beyond the press release, but my guess is that there are fundamental problems with the codebase that they couldn't fix without putting a while lot of time into it, and they just couldn't justify the time.

I'd call it a feature rather a limitation, it's not bad that I have second to process the image for a bit.

I would even increase the update frequency to 5 - 15 minutes and let it capture and generate a new image whenever it detects something changing / moving.
I had no idea the Vita had PSP hardware. I figured backwards compatibility was software based, but I suppose they already had a long history of shipping backwards compatible hardware on consoles. However, by that time they also had a software PS1 emulator for the PS2 Slim and later PS3s.
you don't know anything about how business works if you can't appreciate how Elon managed to turn Tesla at concept car stage to current mass manufacturing capacities and being more valuable than next 7 car companies combined.

I bought a P3D in 2018 and it was quick. But the interior deteriorated in like six months. Rattled like crazy, center console lid wouldn’t stay closed, and after the hw3 upgrade it rattled even more.

When I made a service appointment through the app I got a message that it would cost me ($180 I think?) to have it inspected to determine where the noise was coming from.

I got FSD for $2k back then and while I only had the car for 3 years and drove mostly the 101, I found it helpful in traffic jams. However I didn’t trust it much at higher speeds because it would phantom brake or swerve randomly especially around bridges or when I was in lanes that intersected. Really scary!

I got a Mazda CX-30 after selling the Tesla and it had no interior rattles and felt more premium even though it was $26k. The steering wheel felt more like a sports car than the P3D.

Just my opinion.. I do miss the crazy acceleration. I don’t miss the rattles and poor interior quality.

Not sure if I’ll get another EV until Mazda or Honda make a nice reliable car. I’m a little scared to buy any car from companies that are burning money like crazy lol. I don’t mind moving fast and breaking things on the browser, but not on the road!!

Popular soundbite but not true.

When the US was making leaps in technological and computing advancements around the 60s, one third of Europe was under the iron curtain and its economic stagnation. The other two thirds had just about finished rebuilding their infrastructure and amenities after World War 2.

The Marshall Plan led to the establishment of very strong trade relationships between the US and Europe, and it was a time of economic boom in the US. The Cold War led to technological advancements in computing, communication, and aerospace, where the US government funded much tech the like ARPANET to stay ahead of the Soviets in all these fields.

You take a stable business environment not disrupted by world wars, a government showering businesses with free hand-me-down technologies, and a huge economic boom fuelled by a whole continent of people suddenly looking to buy your products (some of which are computers), and you get Silicon Valley just a decade later.

When Woz was tinkering on the first Apple computers with Jobs, their peers in East Germany were looking for ways to go around the Berlin Wall. The economic circumstances and business opportunities couldn't have been more different.

Believe it or not, in the 1970s and 80s when Apple and Microsoft were born, Europe didn't have many of the consumer rights protections that it has today. It was largely focused on protecting its people from the USSR. In many European countries, consumer rights came into political focus only in the last 20 or so years.

Today things are different. European Apple, Facebook, Google and Microsoft all exist and I believe are incorporated in Ireland. These companies do a large portion of their business in Europe. And if you consider today's tech, EU is very competitive with the US. In fintech, Revolut, Klarna and Adyen have similar user numbers as US alternatives. In AI, Google DeepMind is and has always been a UK company, and Graphcore makes NVIDIA's specialised AI chips. In the EV space, you may have heard of Volkswagen, Porsche, Land Rover, etc. In the business environment, SAP dominates ERP worldwide. And in games, you may have heard of Ubisoft, CD Projekt Red, Arkane, Playground Games, and many other European companies. The list goes on and on.

The argument that Europe didn't form Silicon Valley post WW2 because of its current consumer protection laws is inane. Or that Europe doesn't have the same FANGMAN companies that operate in the US, or that it doesn't have strong tech competitors in the global space on the scale of FANGMAN. There were much larger forces at play than being able/not able to delete the App Store in the formation and development of tech hubs around the world.
Yeah, I don't think I was ever charged interest on Apple products either, but I wasn't paying that close of attention. I'll have to go back and check to see if I can get a sweet class action payout.
We had quadriplegics using brain-computer interfaces to control computers since the 90s. We had neuro implants giving sight to the blind since the 2000s. The problem is not making it work at all, the problem is making the implant work in the long-term in a way that the body doesn't eventually reject. Neuralink is still catching up to where we were 20 years ago, only fronted by a dancing monkey trying to hype himself up as the technoking.
Yes, but the current title is more accurate. "Postbox has been acquired" sounds like the purchaser will be continuing to sell and support Postbox. The reality is that eM Client paid for the list of Postbox users, and is hoping to convert them to using eM's clients; the Postbox software is going away ("winding down its operations").
I think that over time, it will become more apparent that the only solution is to criminalize possession of the data, with a process for collecting statutory damages upon discovery. A precedent exists in the recording industry, where sharing of copyrighted songs results in automatic damages without the need to quantify the actual harm. That process already has fair provisions for willful and accidental use.

This in turn would lead to an industry that hunts for evidence on a contingency basis.
