Yes. Apple have their own graphics API. They were able to decide that, say, geometry shaders aren't worth the chip area or engineering effort to support. Other IHVs don't get that choice; for geometry shaders, for instance, they're part of both Vulkan and OpenGLES, there are games and benchmarks that use them, and customers (end-users, gamedevs, review/benchmark sites, SoC vendors) will evaluate GPUs based, in some small part, on how good their geometry shader support is. Same story for tessellation, transform feedback, and whatever else Apple dropped.
Same here. AppleCare is just an app insurance policy. Nothing more.

This is assuming exhaustive search.

This is not what math programming does. Theoretically if you derive tight enough cuts for the problem and the solution lies on a vertex of the relaxed simplex you you can get the optimal solution in polynomial time.
explain to me, exactly, how it knows what line to go to, and how to get there.

"go back to 0x00, then jump GOTO return register bits ahead"

you still have a variable, the goto return register.

> As for a delete operator, you can just roll your own struct based allocation framework that uses IDisposable to reclaim memory. But then you need to deal with all the traditional bugs like use-after-free and double-free and the like.

I forgot that there is built in support for this model using the MemoryManager<T> class [0]. A memory manager is an abstract class that represents a block of other memory, including possibly unmanaged memory. It implements IDisposable already so you can just plug into this.

The Memory<T> struct can optionally internally point to a MemoryManager instance allowing you to plug your perfered style of allocation and freeing of memory into parts of the framework.

There is a little irony that a MemoryManager<T> is itself a class and therefore managed on the gc-heap, but you can defeat this by using ObjectPool<T> to recycle those instances to keep allocation count steady state and not trigger the GC.

I have used this before (in the toy database i mentioned earlier) to allocate aligned blocks of unmanaged memory.

Nearly 2 years ago I bet a roboticist $10 that we’d have “sci-fi” robots in 2 years.

Now, we didn’t set good criteria for the bet (it was late at night). However, my personal criteria for “scifi” are twofold:
1. Robots that are able to make peanut butter sandwiches without explicit training
2. Robots able to walk on sand (eg Tatooine)

Based on your current understanding, who won the bet? Also, what kind of physical benchmarks do you associate with “sci-fi robots”?
From this thread:

> I definitely heard the "You can't opt out!" line and was worried.

> Microsoft is known for being utterly user-hostile when pushing features on people.

In truth ( so far ) .. you can opt out (not easily) and here Microsoft is guilty of poor engineering rather than active hostility (although hard to seperate).

Chris Titus, the source of a two week(?) old HN thread about Recall being "Mandatory" and unremovable from latest Windows w/out breaking file explorer released an eight minute update video on the matter:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42002418

For those not watching, the problem was a bad Microsoft dependancy manifest - a common DLL not marked as a file explorer dependancy got removed along with Recall causing file explorer to glitch.

This is now 'solved' and included in his cleanup | debloat scripts for those that want the feature gone.

He closes with some other thoughts on Microsoft feature software deployment going forwards into the future.

'Recall' for now is little more than a placeholder stub for most, incapable of activation or more for many w/out specific hardware, and intended to be "removable" provided the engineers get their manifest dependancies sorted out.
There's a lot of people making claims based on paid research with agendas to sell fear. If you think you have some real empirical evidence that will standup to scrutiny, by all means share.

LLMs have no concept of facts or lies, or right or wrong.

And contrary to your rather morbid view of society, in general most WP editors try hard to get it right. And support rather than undermine each other (don't let the more contentious topics distract you from the much larger pool of contributions)

More to the point, with humans you can demand they provide a source and at scale the iterative process should get to the right answers for a good percentage of content. That won't work for LLMs because none of that has meaning.

Maybe I should have specified: We discovered this for a subset of our users and wanted to help solve that problem

> Yeah, body doubling doesn't scale. The whole need for another human body thing is a real hurdle, huh?

I'm referring to ADHD coaching that is not reimburseable yet. Though some types of coaching like health & wellness coaching and mental health coaching already are, and weren't in the past. So there is precedent and potential path to reimbursement by health insurance. I didn't mean scaling the human body

> Too much text with numbers too big. I already utilize body doubling the analog way, you've told me absolutely nothing about what on earth you're adding to the equation.

I'm glad analog way works for you! Finding the strategies/methods that work for you is key.

Unfortunately that doesn't work for everyone, especially our members. Many of them want to body double with other ADHD-ers but don't want to tell the people in their life about their ADHD. Others also just want an online hosted space because it's too much effort to organize these themselves and want a consistent, reliable space where they're not the one organizing. A whole bunch of other reasons!

> Yeah, medication does not solve ADHD at all.

Some really great discussion going on in the replies here but this is where you’ve lost the plot.

For millions of people, medication does in fact solve ADHD. Making misrepresentative blanket statements about the efficacy of medical treatment to promote your product as more necessary is not okay.

If you are looking to have your program eventually treated as a covered therapy under insurance, this kind of messaging can really hurt you.
There is very little new under the sun. It reminds me of the wheel of time books, as the wheel turns we forget about the learnings of the previous age and reinvent them for ourselves. Often worse.
We waited until our kids were 14 to get their phones and they couldn't take them to their bed-room at night until their senior (last) year of high school. They are both in college now and it seemed to turn out OK so far.

And no I'm not going to copy that here for you to quip "that's not a legitimate use case". Make an effort to make a point and support it with better justification than "because I said so".

I never play with player audio on, so I never hear if anyone else is whining about their ranking. I don’t pay attention at all to what my own ranking is, I just play my best and let it sort itself out. I only want fair matches, and it does seem like I mostly get those.

The ranking itself is meaningless, the only thing important is that it accurately represents my skill so that it can be used to find a match.

It sounds like I might play different kinds of online games than you… I mostly play sports games, which don’t have the issues you describe.
For those that use LLMs in a similar manner to a search engine the Anthropic team (unlike Meta AI and Google Gemini) have made it easy to use Claude from right within your browser. In Firefox add a bookmark with the following values:

- Name: Claude AI

- URL: https://claude.ai/new?q=%s

- Keyword: ai (or whatever you'd like to use as a shortcut)

Now from the URL bar you can type: ai <my question>

For ChatGPT use https://chatgpt.com/?q=%s as the URL and for Microsoft Copilot use https://www.bing.com/search?showconv=1&sendquery=1&q=%s.

From a human standpoint alone, I know if I was the client in the situation, I'd be a lot happier hearing someone say this instead of a blanket 'nothing'.

Don't get me wrong; I agree with your assessment. But don't sell non-technical actions short!

It's simple. Tabs keep state[0], bookmarks don't.

The web went to shit a long time ago; you can't rely on being able to bookmark a site and then go back to where you were. Half the sites are infinite scroll, or dynamically generated pages, or SPAs[1], or some other ephemeral invention du jour. Keeping a tab open gives you some chance to return to where you were for some time; bookmarks are just giving up.

--

[0] - At least until the browser decides to screw with you and unloads the tabs you needed. Firefox on Android is particularly aggressive at that, which incidentally makes PWAs unusable, too.

[1] - You're lucky when those let you make a bookmark that won't drop you back to index page when loaded.
Flowcharts tend to suck when trying to describe anything remotely complicated. I doubt anyone is seriously using the original flowchart to get any work done, the actual code must be more readable, and would be guaranteed to be correct.

On the other hand, overloading a flowchart with things like "unless" or "including" makes it harder to follow.
This article is correct and sould be unflagged. With the release of 18.1, custom audio setup (to create an audiogram-based profile) is only available for “supported Apple and Beats headphones”.
I did a lot of the work in my 40 year software career as an individual, which meant it was on me to estimate the time of the task. My first estimate was almost always an "If nothing goes wrong" estimate. I would attempt to make a more accurate estimate by asking myself "is there a 50% chance I could finish early?". I considered that a 'true' estimate, and could rarely bring myself to offer that estimate 'up the chain' (I'm a wimp ...). When I hear "it's going to be tight for Q2", in the contexts I worked in, that meant "there's no hope". None of this invalidates the notion of a carefulness knob, but I do kinda laugh at the tenor of the imagined conversations that attribute a lot more accuracy to the original estimate that I ever found in reality in my career. Retired 5 years now, maybe some magic has happened while I wasn't looking.
oh that's an interesting perspective. I would say you're right, and maybe I didn't phrase it well. I probably should have said something more like: if you don't know how, or if you can't learn how (through iteration etc), then how can your customers. Or something to that effect.
Well, indoor heating is clearly more and more becoming a luxury on the affordability side, enough so that putting a jacket inside is my first go to option when I'm alone at home as I work remotely. But not yet so excited expensive as to private my children from its been benefits when they come back home. And of course nothing like a jet, indeed.

Plumbing is generally not also considered a luxury over here. But at mankind level, I do feel particularly privileged on this regard. I remain amazed we have water flowing at will, and even possibility to take hot shower every day. This is not a jet level kind of privilege, but I try to keep myself aware of how incredibly lucky I am to be able to benefit of such a technology and infrastructure.

I doubt humans waited AC to come alive for settling hot and humid areas. There are other ways to have cooled down residences which don't require so much sophistication in physic models before you can even dream to build a prototype.

All that said, I got your hint to document more on how/why AC is so much more used in some area, and I'm just starting my journey on learning about it.

I still doubt that local climate alone explain the difference in term of how common it is in different region of the world. For example USA have a very large set of different local climate, but from what I understand most homes have AC.
If you don’t have millions of pages the crawl budget limitations most likely will have zero impact.

Make sure your basic technical SEO factors are all good. Search console is looking good and then don’t continue to worry unless you are a huge site that’s living off SEO traffic.
Ah fair.

Replacing "really for" with "more for e.g" would have been closer to the intended comment. I'll take that L.

Though if I can clarify: "can't be arsed to search" isn't a normative or judgemental claim against anyone, in the same way that "can't remember a phone number/directions" isn't. I'm speaking under the assumption there's a point between now and heat death where massaging search engine queries may literally not be as useful a 'skill' anymore. So there's less utility in young/old people taking the time to learn it.

But I can see how it sounds when I try to squeeze that into a shorter message.
> because that's network byte order.

That's not a good reason. It's the byte order used for some network protocols, but definitely not all. And given that protocols aren't interchangeable there's no advantage from having all protocols use the same endianness.

Little endian makes way more sense today because all modern computers are little endian. The network itself doesn't care what you use. It's just a stream of bytes to the network.

Does fixed cycles fail to address that?
Sorry, maybe I should have reworded. I meant to say "medication does not solve all of ADHD", "medication does not solve ADHD for all". Hm, still thinking of the right wording.

I use medication myself, so by no means am I anti-medication.

I think the point I'm trying to make is that it's not a magic pill. And there are side effects as well. If you can layer in foundational lifestyle medicine and good, healthy choices, that makes the world of difference and can potentially allow you to take less medication.

The reason I say this is because we get SO many people who come to us feeling dejected that they put all their hope on medication and when their life didn't immediately get to where they'd like, they felt like there was no hope, like there is no other alternative.

I don't need people to use Shimmer, I just want people to know there's hope if your meds don't work, and there are other solutions beyond meds. This could be therapy, coaching, self-management, and other tools!
a very generous comment! Very interesting you say that, I believe we did at some point have some thoughts about targeting B2B2C, but sadly that was one of the areas we failed to fully learn about / experiment / iterate on.

> it still works pretty well for me

Genuinely interested: have you tried to spend a few weeks on an alternative?

I decided to try DuckDuckGo a few years ago. Not because it was obviously better, but to see if I could get used to it. After a few weeks, I had completely stopped falling back to Google when not finding what I wanted. I stayed on DDG for a couple years. Then same thing with Kagi: I just decided to try. It's been 1.5-2 years now and I'm disappointed when I can't use Kagi (which has my customizations, like some websites I ignore and some that I pin).

I guess my point is that it's not necessarily that you have to try something else when Google is unbearable. Maybe you can try something else and then realize (or not) that Google was not better.

> Initial results from a groundbreaking study by the National Institute of Health reveal that MRI's found significant differences in the brains of children who use smartphones, tablets, and video games more than seven hours a day.

Reminds me of "Every single person who confuses correlation and causation ends up dying".

Jokes aside: "more than 7 hours a day" is a _quite little more_ than the 0 hours the site is asking for. Also I'd guess it might make a difference whether the kids are using a drawing app, tiktok, learning a foreign language, reading an eBook, playing a shooter, gambling, …
Expected use and desired tolerance is a management decision. Safety is still on engineers.
Gotta agree here. The only apps that aren't blocked are the phone itself, messages, and a few games. Doesn't even have a browser on it much less social media. It's really been fantastic in letting her have a phone for communication, and technically she can text her friends if they want to, but no social media. It's pretty close to a dumb phone really. The location tracking alone is worth it, to me.

My only annoyance came when she turned 13, and Google decided to offer her complete freedom without parental consent. Left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth about the project, which is a shame.

> Just go to a law library.

The closest with a copy of the Federal Appendix is ~2 hrs away from me (or on LN if I pay for a subscription). It should be free and online, because it probably can't be copyrighted and because simplifying public access to the law is an unambiguous public good.

> Do you know that judges routinely make decisions based on confidential documents not in the public record? Is that also bad?

Of course not; the particularities of a given case is a very different concern from a document whose content is critical to interpretation of precedent. Also, the copyright claims on confidential documents might be valid, whereas any copyright claims on cases in the Federal Appendix probably aren't valid; see how of the government edicts doctrine was applied in Georgia v.
