Ukraine has also been vigilant in making hyper-realistic wooden replicas of various types of equipment, some even including heating elements in them so they look correct on thermal cameras.

Sure, it means you can't trust download count.

But 2 million downloads among 35 apps is nothing when it comes to evaluating your personal risk. There's like 50,000 times that many apps downloaded every year. The point is the odds of you installing this app are very low. And if those numbers are half fraudulent then the odds are half of that already very small number.

> Regrettably I don't know if they're compatible with Apple's MDM but I couldn't imagine why not

I doubt they'll ship you pre-MDMed devices from the refurb store, but you should still be able to add them to your account manually:

https://it-training.apple.com/tutorials/deployment/dm060/
I'd say I have little enough stored in the cloud now to be OK with losing my accounts. The only thing that would still sting is losing access to the Apple app store, since it's the only way to effectively use their phones. Next phone will likely be non-Apple, but our household still has iDevices.

Most important was taking back my own E-mail and not relying on someone else for it. This took three steps: 1. Get my own domain (this I did over a decade ago), 2. point the MX record to my own VPS and start by simply forwarding to/from Gmail, 3. Actually hosting delivery and serving myself (I use exim4 for delivery and dovecot for IMAP, but there are many other ways to self-host). This can be easily moved to a different host if my VPS provider decides to get rid of me. In theory I can host it on bare metal at home, although I admit I have not actually tried it to verify I can. I'm only dependent on my DNS registrar, which is a bummer but AFAIK unavoidable.

For social media, that was incredibly easy: I last used Facebook over 10 years ago, LinkedIn over 5 years ago, and don't have any other accounts, so I've been off S.M. pretty much forever.

For photos and media, I moved everything to a NAS on my LAN, backed up twice (one stored at home, another stored elsewhere).

Docs, obviously just store locally in a format readable by your own PC. Anything you simply have to have in Google Docs, have a backup locally.

For IoT / Home Automation stuff, I carefully make sure that the ecosystem I buy into is self-hosted and does not require the Internet. Security cameras, thermostats, switches and lights and so on must all be usable and controllable locally. I'm not quite there yet on all of these either, but they are easily swapped out if some manufacturer's lame cloud goes down.

Not sure if I'm forgetting anything.
> The standards of driving in Australia is terrible.

I think this is common in many places where a significant portion of the population lives in low density areas (eg: American, Australian and Canadian suburbs.) Outside of major city centers it is very difficult to live without a car, so states and provinces choose to set a very low bar for acquiring and keeping a driver's license.
Somehow when people say "the metaverse", they mean something like those games, but boring.

> or a dash or a hyphen

Em-dashes are typically used for separating clauses. Hyphens and en-dashes are used for hyphenating terms and indicating ranges (among a couple of other uses).

Not that this really matters in practice, but the visual cue is useful for reading rapidly and accurately
I wonder if the directions to Northrop were painted in English or in Japanese.

I lived in Burbank for a few years and one of the early days of living there I did a history of the city kind of rabbit hole. The large amount of camouflaging was one of the things that I learned about that really stood out as something that unique to being on the West coast during that time.
I'm saying there isn't a distinction between literally and figuratively thinking or anything of the sort. "Thinking" isn't scientifically grounded, it's socially grounded, and barely so, given that it seems everyone has a differing justification for what constitutes "thinking". The variability in construing "thinking" is a product of how we each fashion our own internal sense of what it means, which if anything is evidence for the anti-realism of "thinking".

Continuing, we largely fool ourselves when we play the shell game of hunting for scientific justification of "social facts". Ie: when we assume a social fact, then hunt for scientific evidence to ground it in then use the scientific evidence to justify the existence and validity of the social fact we assumed. This happens a LOT and it's epistemically invalid.

A LOT of folks dismissal of thinking machines reminds me of Feuerbach's The Essence of Christianity, specifically the section on anthropomorphism[1], but in an inverted form - the reason LLMs can't "think" is that it would dilute what we hold dear about ourselves: our ability to think. It's an ego protection mechanism, but no one's jumping to admit that.

Another possibility is that see a new doctrine of "what's in it for me?" That's similar to, but not quite the same as isolationism. It would start with isolationism as the ground state, but then seek to depart from that in mutually beneficial ways.

Seen from that perspective, this 2nm ban might not be the final word, but rather the first step of a negotiation process.

This is so neat, thanks for sharing! I think the killer feature here is syncing with your phone/providing a good interface for searching. My Roland doesn't have auto recordings, but I record myself on it pretty frequently using the built-in functionality. My problem is that I have so many recordings now that moving them over to my laptop/phone and sifting through the garbage is extremely tedious.

From the FAQ it sounds like you have plans to extend the search feature set - excited to see what's in store! I feel like a similar parallel here might be the search functionality in Google Photos. If you can do for MIDI recordings what they did for photos that would be huge.
> Mobile apps have no choice but to use HTTP APIs. You can easily download a lot of iOS apps through the Mac App Store, then run strings on their bundles to look for endpoints.

Are there any good tutorials for that? 'strings' is not the greatest name for searching good information.
As far as I know it doesn't, although there are some "bridge" providers that do.
Lustrations ("purges") are a bad idea in general, especially for larger countries that don't have a history of democracy.

I don't see one can look at recent history and come to support this view.

The lustrations in the former Warsaw Pact countries, and denazification (such as it was) in Germany after WW2 seem to have worked well enough, and to have been crucial enablers of the process of democratic transition in these countries (having had very little history of democracy as such until that point). If anything West Germany suffered from not being sufficiently robust in its denazification process until far too late.

Of course, such purges should never be simply imposed from the outside, on the heals of an invasion which should have never happened anyway, which is the key reason why de-Ba'athification failed so miserably in Iraq.
Wirth went on to develop Modula (and Modula 2), then Oberon, as successors to Pascal.

Modula-2+ was one of the key influences in Python.
I don't think this is the rhetorical killshot you seem to believe it is.
yes, you would still need to clean your inputs before randomly adding it to your table. Your contrived example brings me back to my original assertion that as long as you’re ok with those characters not being valid data it works fine. So, sure if someone really wanted to store those two literal non-visible characters in a text file that would not work. Everyone else could just not do that.
Probably just an extreme version of quantization-aware training? During training you round the prediction to the range you want, but keep it as a float.

Since rounding isn’t differentiable there’s fancy techniques to approximate that as well.

But the term may just not be useful. If I record a billion conversations and record the statistically most likely answers to statements people make, it's going to make a reasonable facsimile of a conversation. Is that now anything like intelligence, artificial or otherwise?
If it comes down to immutability and copies being a bottleneck, a solution is probably to move more of the core game state into native code (like with Zig), but fault tolerance, scalability, and concurrency seem like important things for a MMO.

Hot loading is pretty nice too.
WebGPU cannot even come close unfortunately since they don't have support for hardware specific memory or warp-level primitives (like TMA or tensorcores). it's not like it gets 80% of perf, it gets < 30% of the peak perf for anything related to heavy compute matrix multiplications

Books about famous people really help me especially learning how they achieved success. We usually only see them once they’ve made it but we don’t get to see all their struggles along the way. It’s fascinating to read about what they’ve been through. And of course educational books are important too, depending on your profession.
I flagged that as implication #2. They would have to keep the market participants in the dark about it, and find a confidential use for the private forecast.

If polymarket had an internal 80-20 model based on super-forecasters, they wouldn't disclose that, but they might have paying customers for it outside the prediction market itself. For example, stock traders might pay for the private model.

If I could pay the NYSE for real time trading info on the buy/sell limits from warren buffet and other whales, I would.
The process here seems relatively clear.

Original logic-based "AI" system didn't "fail-fail". They could reproduce some complex human behaviors but they required expensive people writing their code.

Deep learning succeeded because it allowed compute to be substituted for these coders and so companies could produce the current structures without an army of zillions of experts. But these systems still suffer from problems of "not really learning" or "not really understanding".

I don't think the problem of discovering how humans quickly learn to make effective novel responses to new information is unsolvable but the deep learning arc may not have brought it's solution much closer (despite appearances).
I'm hopeful that 'business' will prevail and #47 goes merchant of death mode to sell to those we'd like to see remain countries.
There are some ways to mitigate this. You can make the prize pool big enough that people will be motivated, but small enough that people won't try to sway the outcome. Also, prediction markets can be very useful for making predictions about competitors, because it would be rather difficult to influence what happens at a competing company.

I think you are on the right track (sorry, I did not verify all the individual statements). If you weren't already aware of them, you might wish to learn what normal subgroups are, see how you can have a subgroup that's not a normal subgroup (and probably see what cosets are at the same time), and see how does dividing a group by a normal subgroup (to yield a group) work and what properties it has.
The Candida link is interesting but not proven — so in that sense it's equivalent to your cancer guy.

The other discoveries predate a lot of advanced medical technology, though. They were the low-hanging fruit in that sense. The only semi-recent discovery I can think of is that the Epstein-Barr virus causes cancer, though that does not necessarily qualify as "simple". EBV is also implicated in MS. EBV could ultimately be one of those "unifiers" that could explain multiple diseases.
Isn't UserBenchmark the site that is notorious for not liking AMD hardware?
I think it can be done responsibly. If you're not imposing any more traffic on them than you would be visiting their site manually, then using their APIs to get at structured data is actually win-win compared to the alternative (load the whole thing and scrape).

Where I'll agree with you is cases where people do this and impose way more traffic than is typical and often more than is necessary (i.e. no caching). But that's not really specific to reverse engineering apis, that's just about being a good internet citizen in general.

I'm of the opinion that a user agent is a user agent, and website owners shouldn't pick and choose what user agents they support. Target the behaviors that affect your infrastructure, not the means of access and algorithms used to process what you send.
Sigh. I have fond memories of watching Fringe and Eureka with my kids.
I was about to post the exact thing, I dont see any thing API related to iOS apps on Google.

Edit: After some Google-ing and trying it on my macbook, there is a native CLI tool called "strings". Supposedly it does the following: strings is primarily used to find and display printable character sequences in binary files, object files, and executables. Which means the author is probably looking at the app to see the hardcorded characters in the app binary(?) and searching for the API end points.

Counterpoint: the article is aimed at people who know nothing about the topic, the first image in the article (the one you'll see if you post a link to it) is of Mount St. Helens erupting, and it drives engagement. I was definitely much more likely to click on the article when I thought it was about gophers blowing up volcanoes. The title also explicitly mentions it happened in "one day" which isn't long enough for re-wilding but is the right time frame for an eruption.
If there is ambition to work at high speeds and feeds I would jump straight to FPGA and bypass anything like this WIZnet ASIC which simultaneously does too much and too little to be relevant to that pursuit (but it is great if you have the exact use case of wanting to add Ethernet to an existing MCU).

Doing Ethernet at the logic design level is a lot of hard work but it isn't exactly a mystery at this point unless you are working on next generation speeds and feeds. A book on digital design, a book on HDL of choice, and a willingness to read specifications (IEEE 802, SFP MSA) and datasheets (FPGA MAC, third party PHY chips) is what you need to be successful.

NetFPGA collates a lot of teaching materials and example code for this but the major FPGA vendors also have relevant works. Ignore any suggestions that you need formal education in the space, it's simply not true.

Hey HN,

I built AloAngels from my college dorm to solve a problem I kept seeing: founders and people with just a big idea struggle to connect with the right investors. So, I created an AI/ML-powered platform that matches early-stage startups (and even ideas!) with investors based on personalized metrics.

The journey’s been amazing so far—through AloAngels, I was able to connect with Jesse Cassuto, an angel investor from New York, who’s now advising me. His experience in early-stage funding has been a game-changer, and having him on board has pushed AloAngels to the next level.

Here’s what AloAngels offers:

Smart matching – Uses 15+ metrics, like industry focus and investment history, to connect founders with ideal investors.

It Boosts funding chances – With an Investment Likelihood Score that shows potential fit. Check it out!
