This is the way. Programs are not text, there's an impedance mismatch that shows at the seams.

There're good reasons it hasn't been done more: text is good for troubleshooting, "every program should do one thing well" and maybe preventing lock-in.

But with programming tools reaching maturity, we'll see more of this. Also there's an AI-related aspect: bots can understand structure just fine.
I disagree that plain text is an obstacle towards better tooling. You can do most of what the author describes with direct plain text edits pipelined into an analysis program.

But I also think that the ux the author presents is undesirable. When writing new code, one must pass through a phase of broken code to reach the working code. I would not want an editor blocking me from typing a word that isn't yet defined but I do want it to notify me instantly that there is a problem.

I also struggled to understand the use case for the mouse based ux. I am typing this comment on an iphone mini and would much rather write raw text on its keyboard than use the clicking interface shown in the fibonacci example.

There is a lot in the Apple universe that is shoddy. iTunes, for instance.

iOS has a refinement that Android lacks but I am unimpressed with MacOS. Windows is stuffed full of terrible crapplets and Windows users largely recognize that these are terrible crapplets and don't use them. Apple users have a fixed belief that everything Apple does is brilliant and fashionable so they do use them which has a deadly effect on the market for third-party software. (No good music players for MacOS for instance)

Even Apple fans lately claim it's been getting worse in the last few years.

(That said, I love the innovation in the M-series chips from Apple just as much as I appreciate Microsoft's commitment to the long-term viability of Windows for all of us who invest in it. Occasionally at work we still use Access '98 to handle old files and it works great, the installer works great, in fact Office still tries to take the desktop over the way it did back in the day. Clippy still works. The borderless windows look just a little funny because the compositor changed. No way you could run Linux binaries or MacOS classic binaries from '98)
I remember coding on my casio scientific calculator, you could only input full keyword by selecting from a menu, it was quick and you couldn't make syntax errors.
I did not see anything with their tone.

There was nothing wrong with you making a statement qualified with "as far as I know". You're good.

Likewise, there was nothing wrong with another person asking for details regarding what effort went into "as far as I know". They're good.

Someone who is in any given field and has researched it for decades might have more related knowledge included in "as far as I know", than someone who didn't. So it's totally reasonable to ask them how they came to know 'as far as they know', because that information is critical for everyone else to judge how much credence to lend to that someone's posts.

The question is why are you using cash? Even my 82 year old dad is now using Apple Pay and both of my parents mostly use credit cards/debit cards.

They do care for a few seconds on average per viewer… so that small amount of value is making its way to the athlete.

> Apple refines what others have attempted before, that's what they're good at.

Exactly. And often the first version is often kind of meh (iPhone, Watch, Vision Pro) but they keep iterating and later versions become really good. Sometimes it's a hit directly (M1), it's still very iterative on whatever came before.
If you don’t mind discussing it; what kind of community were you looking for/what challenges did you face building one?

Oh I agree streaming is not an alternative if you want to stay in control of your library. Just DVD are probably not great for foolproof long-term archival.

Try to contact people and say "I am a headhunter, if you pay me <that much> I will get you an interview" and tell me how many people are willing to pay.

And that's just a headhunter. Now what message do you send, as a company, if you try to get money from applications?

I definitely will never pay a company to apply. I would rather not work for them.
I'm mostly against the marketing where the company lies or misleads the customer. While this is bad if the product is new or existing, lies are easier if the audience based is uninformed about a subject. The major issue with marketing is that it's hard to trust someone when so many people marketing have a short term finical interest in stretching the truth as much as possible.

In this situation it's mostly harmless, but we see terrible examples of this in the health/supplements space.
Yes, I think it comes from the kind of metaphorical language that writing programs induces. If artists "kinda lie" when describing how their art represents some emotion or reality, likewise, computer scientists are also engaged in this 'metaphorical representation' game -- unlike the science, which aim to actually represent, not metaphorically.

This also drives me mad reading many a computer science paper now -- the disrespect for the ordinary meaning of words is only so obscene in the most radical kinds of poetry. This feels wholly out of place in anything called a 'science', and leads to endless amounts of confusion.

There are none in all of academia so brazen in a poetic use of language and at the same time so incurious as to its meaning.
This is all over news but is this actually true. Meta is always citied as example because Mark said and did bunch of things to appease the markets.

There are no reduction in numbers at meta now. Middle managers have made a comeback at meta big time. CEOs love middle managers despite what they say to investors.

Even the numbers cited in the article are not convincing

> middle-manager head counts by about 6% since the peak of their pandemic hiring sprees

This actually indicates the opposite that middle managment is unusually resilient to layoffs
I work in accessibility. The ADA is barely acknowledged. Every automatic door, curb cut, and accommodation is still a tough fight.
This has always been my beef with OKRs in the software industry. Most shops are at least pretending to be agile-ish. And this means that a random IC dev is pulling tickets from the backlog and doing them.

They're not going to be personally responsible for "improving the response time of the FizzBuzz server by 22.3%" or anything like that. No - the product manager tells the team on what they'll be working, the work gets broken down into parts, and they take what's available when they come up for air.

OKRs should never be handled at a level more granular than a scrum team, or equivalent.
Somewhat vaguely related to this, not all bank notes in the UK are made equal. Good luck getting someone in England to accept an Ulster Bank, Danske bank, or Bank of Ireland note, despite them all being pound sterling notes issued in the UK worth the exact same amount.
True, I just thought that it being voted through now would also pose news, as the contents weren't yet set in stone, but the criticized parts are still in the final version. I believe the vote being held on Christmas probably lessened the media echo about this.
If you're comparing today's market, practices, and subsidies (which are all just measurements of the same signal) to a fictional world where we didn't want to kill any calfs, but using today's subsidies and prices, then I think that's not a fair comparison.

If god appeared and said that the Hindus were right all along and cows are sacred and milk is their gift to us - we'd do it just fine.
I could pick on quite of few nits here but I'm going to focus on one in particular that I'm very familiar with as a photographer and mass media studies student.

> I want the data coming off of the sensor to be the data that makes up the image. I want to avoid as much processing as possible and I want the photo to be a reflection of reality as it is, not reality as it should have been. Sure, sometimes I'll do some color correction or cropping in post, but that doesn't change the content of the image, only its presentation.

First nit:
the iPhone camera,
and all digital cameras,
are deeply influenced by computational photography techniques.
What this means is that you essentially never get the raw pixel values,
although there are exceptions.
The image you get is already significantly manipulated.

Second nit:
color correction, color in general, dynamic range, focus, depth of field, and more
are all manipulations made by default,
even long before digital cameras when film was king.
There is no "correct" image version of what our eyes see,
there is only pleasing to the photographer and the audience.

An example:
the negative for Ansel Adams' well known "Moonrise Over Hernandez , New Mexico" looks like,
at first glance,
something a professional would trash for lacking detail.

Here's contact print vs the version most of use will probably recognize: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5fe5ca8d6a35...

Here are four different versions Adams printed over the course of 3 decades:
https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5fe5ca8d6a35...

I will mention,
but won't even get into a topic that will surely bait HN commentors:
Kodak designed and standardized its color film to represent Caucasian skin tones.
It wasn't until chocolate and furniture makers complained that everything looked like the same gross mud in their expensively-produced product catalogs that Kodak took a look at rendering dark brown/red/yellow tones more pleasingly.
Notice I said "more pleasingly", not "correctly".
Right. Have a look at the paper above from Meta on how they fine-tuned the Code Llama with LLVM IR to beat the compiler in producing size-optimized binaries.
Outside of various bubbles, Microsoft still dominates desktop computing and Azure has pretty strong market share itself. I actually find it fairly remarkable that, in spite of the Windows OS not mattering as much any longer--especially on the server--and Microsoft absolutely tanking in mobile, the company is still very strong and relevant.
> In the end, even if the features aren't perfect, they still raise the bar for competitors

Honestly I'm not sure that they do. Everything I've seen with notification summaries for instance has given me the feelings of "wow I guess I'm really not missing much". LLMs as an answer engine has a big benefit that it feels fast and fluid even when its wrong (and many won't bother verifying) but with notification summaries most users in messaging contexts will eventually go back to the conversation and see the responses in full detail. Mistakes in that context are identifiable by mainstream users as having made the product worse.
No, but the US mint pays 3c to make each 1c coin, so there's that!
That’s more of an issue with the US financial infrastructure. There are plenty of poorer countries where mobile payments are more the norm than in the US.

The biggest problem I have with Apple Intelligence is battery life. Since Apple has no software chops in building LLM models, I expect them to throw hardware solutions for the battery life problem.

But the demands of intelligence and the general trajectory means no amount of hardware - storage, RAM or battery size would be enough to generate the high fidelity experiences or solutions that fans and customers have come to expect from the company.

The non market leading company sometimes do very well if/where they have good sales. The easy mode is work for the market leading company while the others don't have great sales staff. But if the others have great sales staff your job as the market leader becomes much harder - your market leading position ensures you are invited to the table when something is bought, but it doesn't ensure you have the sale. (the non-market leaders sometimes are not even invited to the table even when their offering is clearly better)

Mass killing is bloody and horrific.

When I sit down and think about the amount of murder required to maintain any omnivorous or carnivorous creature, it's really a mindwarp. I (at least) have been quite separated from it my whole life, until I started hunting, really.

Wolves and large carnivores especially are just brutal. They will take your children down and eat them alive in front of you. Fair exchange we drive them off and kill you quickly, is at least one way of looking at it. But there's no "pleasant" way of looking at any of it.

It's not a great business model as an athlete though is it now? Not really going to build up a following when you do it once every 4 years, or maybe only once. And unless you're in a prestigious event like the 100m sprint you're closer to a clown entertainment role wise, swinging your ball on a string or whatever.

Sure, an actual clown will get paid a tad better than zero by their circus, but they don't have the upside of a potential lucrative clown shoe sponsorship deal if they win.

TL;DR: these athletes knew the deal before they went in, and shouldn't act victim when they have to show their butts on only fans because their gamble didn't land.
I have multiple VLANs on my home LAN. It's just so much easier to provide no-Internet or isolated-from-all-other-non-guest-hosts service if you set that up via VLANs. I might be mistaken, but it's my pretty strong understanding that with everything on the same VLAN, you have to deal with hosts using MAC and/or IP address spoofing to evade your router firewall rules.

The CMB suggests we get a picture of the entire early universe.

However, other things are suggesting we might not be seeing the whole universe just by looking as far away as possible. It could be we can see some regions on the CMB that have already expanded outside of our observable universe. These regions aren't just "even fainter and we need a better telescope", they're "the last photon from that region that will ever reach us came and left billions of years ago."

Therefore, there might not be one singular hubble constant, there might be two. One that applies to our local observable universe, and one that applies to the entire universe.

It could be that the universe is 26 billion years old: https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/524/3/3385/7221343?lo...

And because at great enough distances(/times), expansion is faster than light, and we simply can't see a significantly different epoch of the universe just by looking deeper.

The best sales people never sell anything. They are only there to be a smile and react to those coming to them. They'll prefer to talk about anything but what they plan to sell.

I’m a software engineer with several years experience in multiple full stack web ecosystems and a wide-range of technical and non-technical skills in a number of fields and contexts. I’m insatiably curious, detail-oriented, and love to tackle interesting technical problems. I enjoy collaboration and I’m told I have an easy-going and good-humored nature. I like making mistakes and sometimes I learn from them!

My most recent project is Tumbleweed, an open-source, user-friendly framework designed for fast and consistent data propagation between microservices using Change Data Capture (CDC) and the transactional outbox pattern.
I wish the same. That being said, given how useless Apple Intelligence is, how it isn't deployed in the EU and how it's gatekept by newer hardware, it's still very easy to ignore it. It's even easier on Mac where new versions doesn't bring anything worth upgrading for a non Apple-only developper (still running Sonoma).

Hah I’ve been having the same issue as the author with those scammy “package delay” texts getting summarized in my notifications.

Didn’t realize how widespread that type of spam was until now. Why hasn’t someone implemented better spam detection at Apple like we have for email? It would be nice if they could classify texts as spam, promotions, etc and organize them the way Gmail does.
someone asked the exact same question hah.
