I said the same thing, and I'm going to do one more prediction: the banking business will become more and more profitable with very low risk to the point it will take more and more space in Apple's culture.

Also, regulations and the hiring market mean they will have to hire more and more profiles than you typically find in finance. With Jobs dead and an aging Cook that can't willpower himself into everything anymore, nothing will cancel this effect.

Eventually, this will lower Apple taste for innovation and the product quality will go down until they become another average player cashing in on the inertia of its past success.

They will be super profitable, but nobody will look up to them anymore.

On a similar note, I've a request for the HN community. Can anyone recommend a low-latency NER model/service.

I'm building an assistant that gives information on local medical providers that match your criteria. I'm struggling with query expansion and entity recognition. For any incoming query, I would want to NER for medical terms (which are limited in scope and pre-determined), and subsequently where I would do Query rewriting and expansion.
This reminds me of the recent story where an Uber courier stole two MacBooks, there was no signature, CCTV showing no delivery, and Apple was just like "our carrier has completed the requested investigation, and no further action will be taken by Apple."

It is, because the deadline for the EV switch in the EU was arbitrarily set on idealist wishful thinking that sounded good on paper, and not on calculated pragmatism based on economic potential, working class purchasing power, local automotive industry capabilities, public EV infrastructure investment and development, potential world conflicts and economic/trade issues, etc.

It's easy for politicians to say "we want an amazing outcome in 15 years where everything is green" and for voters to agree with that, the issue comes when the rubber hits the road, especially as the politicians who made the original promise won't be in power anymore by then.

I would also wish to look like Chris Hemsworth from Thor in 5 years time, but when I actually look into my genetics, diet and exercise regimen, that aint gonna happe without some very radical and mostly uncomfortable life changes that deep down I know I won't be able to do. I'm not gonna suddenly wake up with the six pack while I keep my existing lifestyle. Similarly, the EU is not gonna wake up to an EV future in 10 years while doing everything like before.

EU politicians and EU voters wants idealist outcomes (cheap green energy, EVs everywhere, welfare state, affordable housing, good paying jobs with social benefits) without putting in the radical (and maybe even unrealistic) changes needed to achieve those goals: energy independence on the cheap, manufacturing independence, investing in research, innovation and start-ups, investing in defense independence, investing in public housing and infrastructure, etc

I don't get this marketing angle. I've made arguments here before that the cost of compute from a energy perspective is often negligible. If Google Maps, for example, can save you 1 mile due to better routing, then that is several orders of magnitude more efficient [1].

> Life is too short to care about these trifling matters really though isn't it?

I wouldn't call people's ability to be mobile a "trifling matter". In fact, I'd say it's fundamental to a free and equitable society. People should be able to move around safely and freely and the car is failing to be the solution to that.

Life is too short to spend it in a car. People hate driving. But they do it because there's no other choice. The infrastructure is car first and their bodies have atrophied to the point they can't get around without assistance.

I've seen people literally lose their minds as they sit in their car stuck in congestion day in, day out. Driving has become an adversarial pursuit that leads to anger and frustration. This is your life, and it's happening one traffic jam at a time.

A good life is not one where you utter "you absolute bellend" at least once every single day as you make your way to work.

GP mistakenly imagines that a gun's purpose can also be deterrent even when not shooting. In reality the deterrent ultimately comes from the threat of violence, the shooting. Everything else is a side effect derived from that one. Same goes for nukes.

The best proof is that a gun which obviously cannot shoot (is visibly unloaded, disabled, etc.) doesn't act as a deterrent despite still being a gun.

The UTF8 encoding of a non-breaking space (U+00A0) is 0xC2 0xA0. If you decode as ISO-8859-1 or CP-1252, that is 0xC2 (Â) and then NBSP (0xA0).

So the content is supposed to have an NBSP between the sentences, was encoded as UTF8, but declared as ISO-8859-1 or similar at some stage in its history. The page seems now to declare UTF8, so it's presumably had the wrong decoding reencoded as UTF8.

Now they announced they're going to retire it on December 3rd. A piece of another internet era is going away.

I'm convinced that "completion" models are much more useful (and smart) than "chat" models, being able to provide more nuanced and original outputs. When gpt4 come out, text-davinci-003 would still provide better completions with the correct prompt. Of course this model was later replaced by gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct which is explored in this post.

I believe the reason why such models were later deprecated was "alignment".

Believe it or not, this is the basis of international law.

You don't get to have standards for one nation but entirely different standards for another.

The USA can deploy missiles anywhere it wants - on its territory, or on the territories of its allies. But of course it needs to suffer the consequences if it decides to forward-deploy them on someone elses territory.

Same goes for Russia. Or, is there some other standard that you're applying that makes it okay for the USA to put nuclear-capable missiles on the borders of its enemies, but not okay for any other nation to do it?

>The rent seeking on real estate chocked the intra-EU mobility to death.

Thanks, you put it more concise than me. And this is also a huge issue with ageing population and growing welfare costs. You'd think they'd want to encourage people to move to where the new jobs are being created in order to get the economy moving and taxes flowing into the welfare state.

If the EU wants to act like a dragon sitting on top of its gold pile, and the economy to be a bunch of ageing people holding onto their rent controlled apartments hoping to see the same welfare and retirement benefits while the economy slows down due to crazy costs on real estate and doing business, this won't end well.

I agree, they're using the term backdoor in a much wider meaning than what's usually meant. E.g. the RSA created the Clipper Chip and intentionally inserted a backdoor to allow the government access, that's a backdoor. An attacker might use that later, but it was made by the original developer of the software with "good intentions". But TFA is using it to mean the situation where an attacker broke a window and climbed in from the outside and can now enter and leave through the hole they made.
>No, not true. Nothing in any of the provided sources

Read my words again: the threat was made. Russia responded to that threat, as the notion that nuclear-capable missiles would be deployed on borders within minutes of Moscow was deemed intolerable, and thus the deployment was cancelled.

>They put an end to 10 years of wars in Yugoslavia and brought a lasting peace to the region.

How many years of war occurred between the coup-government of Ukraine and the territory of Donbass before Russia invaded? And, again, the duplicity of your argument is clear: illegal wars are 'okay' as long as they result in peace and quiet afterwards?

That's not working out much for Gaza though, is it?

> No-one has given anyone Tomahawks,

I didn't say they did - I said that the threat to do so was made, and it was made - and as a result, we have war and calamity in Europe where we could have had a real, lasting peace between aligned nations.

If not for that coup.

>Russia has deployed their missiles to Belarus

Ah, and the USA has deployed their missiles all over Europe - so do allies have a right to engage in military agreements, or do they not?

You can't have it both ways. This is the entire point of MAD, which you seem to think doesn't apply to Washington, but does to Moscow.

From the outside it's just a property access. The whole point is you don't need to worry about whether it's a direct access or a getter/setter with logic, even if it changes from one to the other between versions.

> Get and set magic methods were a mistake too.

They're definitely not ideal, and thanks to this change they're no longer required for the vast majority of cases.

> Same with reflection.

Reflection is a mistake?
This talk of "better economy" and "comfortable life" is pure self-deception on the part of Israelis. They liked to think that they would like peace with the Palestinians, while at the same time making no significant objection to their country implementing an apartheid regime and building settlements and imprisoning millions under an airtight blockade.

Such is the level of self-deception that they are genuinely surprised and angry each time the Palestinians hit back- they see these as unprovoked- worse, ungrateful- attacks.

How is it flawed? If the intent is to investigate Linux packages isn't the repositories of Linux distributions the best place to study?

> The majority of Israeli would like to find some sort of win win solution where everyone can live in peace. The majority of Palestinians don't see any solution that includes Jewish people living in the region.

[citation needed] Because your equivalent on the other side would say it is exactly the other way around, and both of you would feel unarguably right. So unless you base your claim here on a neutral trusted source I would file that away as someone's gut feeling that may be part of a political bubble.

Your palestinian counterpart could point out the same, as far as I know more than three quarters of the palestinians alive today did not vote for Hamas, since they were kids when that vote took place in 2006. Your Palestinian counterpart could point to the fact that their people are unarguably more restricted than an Israeli citizen living in the same area or to the fact that their territories got smaller over the decades which is surprising given your statement about a lack of Isreali ambition to drive them away — did the Palestinians voluntarily gift that land away or how did that happen?

Now sure, in reality this conflict is much more complex, and the history of the Palestinian territories has to do with repression, terrorist responses, constant military intervention, settler ambition and so on. But if — in effect — you drive the other people out, even if "you don't want to", you are driving them out, period. And for that you just have to look at a timeline of the border over the history of the region, without bothering yourself about all complexity, which in this conflict is abused by both sides as an excuse.

Todays younger generations in the West perceive Israel as the stronger force (and it is) and as such feel that Isreal has a moral duty to de-escalate the conflict. Now that 80% of the Gaza strips population is displaced and this is the conflict with the most dead children than any other recent conflict¹, taking about not wanting to drive them away seams a tad bit cynical — one could infer from that they are not to be driven away, but to be erradicated.

In any way this will mark the sad point in history where the decline of support for Isreals ambitions in the West started and Isreal won't even see it coming, since their own perspective on the conflict is skewed by their own propaganda. A support Isreal both needs and given its early history also deserved. But taking it too far has consequences.

And as someone who grew up with 3 brothers: It is for the stronger one to stop the conflict and act with controlled force. And Isreal is the stronger one and right now it is beating the smaller brother into a bloody bulp in stupid rage as the rest of the world watches in absolute horror.
