The thread on Apple Invites is the first time I'm hearing of Partiful, and I suspect that's the case for many here.
I believe the `\` character for functions is original to Haskell. Miranda does not have anonymous functions as a part of the language.
There are many airports within easy driving distance of major metropolitan areas, and regardless of what happens, once they get off the plane they get into a car driven by a driver.

I don't think it matters much to them whether they spend the hour in traffic out of JFK, or on a highway from White Plains.
So let me get this straight-- there is a box in a Treasury building that, if the janitor accidentally unplugs it-- immediate financial apocalypse and a fifth of the US economy "stops."

Why isn't the very existence of this box the problem?
At what point does a public promise carry any legal weight whatsoever? If it carries none, then why not leave it in place and lie? If it carries some, for how long and who has standing to sue?

Genuine questions. Unlike "don't be evil," this promise has a very narrow and clear interpretation.

It would be nice if companies weren't able to just kinda say whatever when it's expedient.
The problem is that by vendor-locking these services to Apple users, they create an environment that alienates non-Apple users. If they want to truly claim the friends & family network, they need to remember that everyone has friends & family that aren't in the Apple ecosystem.

So long as Facebook remains available to everyone, even if the content feed is a mess, the event planning space is going to be more accessible to everyone and will end up being the defacto friends & family ecosystem.

I'm not an iCloud+ member, so I can't go in an look for myself, but ideally this would be just a fancy way of extending your iCloud Calendar invites where Gmail, Outlook, etc. users can still create events and invite people in roughly the same way. If as a Linux & Android user I am only able to RSVP to Apple users' invites, but I am never able to invite them to anything myself, then I literally cannot embrace this product without investing considerable money into their hardware, which I am not going to do.

Hell, if they featureset was compelling enough, and they had an iCloud app for non-Apple hardware platforms, I might actually consider being an iCloud+ member, but I guess it's not worth it to Apple to collect a monthly payment from me if I won't make the downpayment on an iPhone and a Macbook...
For each 10 seconds of reading, increment the tags on the current article as "favoured". Then, poll randomly from those tags for the next recommended article. Add some logarithms of division to prevent the tags from infinite scaling.
I hope that this was valued in accordance to other values. Eg. A rich black kid in Washington probably wouldn't be eligible to receive this grants, while a poor white kid in Kentucky would. I also hope that "systemic discrimination" would take into account more than just skin color
"There must be some confusion because they aren’t cutting programs approved by congress."

Yes they are

"They are literally cutting funds that were NOT explicitly approved by congress only."

This is false.

You really need to realize that Musk is a liar who lies all the time and he is lying about what DOGE is doing.
I'd hardly call that a logical fallacy. I'm fairly sure there's some correlation between success in business and success in other domains.

"Because it's political" is facile. You propose banning stories about:

* H1B visa legislation

* How internet traffic metadata is collected by governments

* Biological science if it somehow refers to evolution, unusual chromosome mixes, or embryonic development.

* GNU/GPL/free-software efforts

* Encryption

And Much Much More!™

Most things are at least a little bit political--or can be made political by someone who makes it their politics--that it amounts to to a heckler's veto.
> they are fundamentally unconcerned with goodness or morality

No, no. Call a spade a spade. This behavior and attitude is evil. Corporations under modern American capitalism must be evil. That's how capitalism works.

You succeed in capitalism not by building a better mousetrap, but by destroying anyone who builds a better moustrap than you. You litigate, acquire, bribe, and rewrite legislation to ensure yours is the best and only mousetrap available to purchase, with a token 'competitor' kept on life support so you can plausibly deny anticompetitive practices.

If you're a good company trying to do good things, you simply can't compete. The market just does not value what is good, just, or beneficial. The market only wants number to go up, and to go up right now at any cost. Amazon will start pumping out direct clones of your product for pennies. What are you gonna do, sue Amazon?! best of luck.
Marketplace and groups. Most of my friends are on WhatsApp so we ditched FB.

Apple would be smart to build those things and make it available on Android too. Then we could ditch FB altogether.
I have full faith that the market[1] will direct the trolley onto the morally optimal track. It's invisible hand will guide mine when I decide or decide against pulling the lever. Either way, I can be sure that the result is maximally beneficial to the participants, myself included.

revenues didn't miss predictions, predictions missed revenues
My problem with this take is that you forget, the corporations are made up of people, so in order for the corporation to be evil you have to take into account the aggregate desires and decision making of the employees and shareholders and, frankly, call them all evil. Calling them evil is kind of a silly thing to do anyway, but you can not divorce the actions of a company from those who run and support it, and I would argue you can't divorce those actions from those who buy the products the company puts out either.

So in effect you have to call the employees and shareholders evil. Well those are the same people who also work and hold public office from time to time, or are shareholders, or whatever. You can't limit this "evilness" to just an abstract corporation. Not only is it not true, you are setting up your "problem" so that it can't be addressed because you're only moralizing over the abstract corporation and not the physical manifestation of the corporation either. What do you do about the abstract corporation being evil if not taking action in the physical world against the physical people who work at and run the corporation and those who buy its products?

I've noticed similar behavior with respect to climate change advocacy and really just "government" in general. If you can't take personal responsibility, or even try to change your own habits, volunteer, work toward public office, organize, etc. it's less than useless to rail about these entities that many claim are immoral or need reform if you are not personally going to get up and do something about it. Instead you (not you specifically) just complain on the Internet or to friends and family, those complaints do nothing, and you feel good about your complaining so you don't feel like you need to actually do anything to make change. This is very unproductive because you have made yourself feel good about the problem but haven't actually done anything.

With all that being said, I'm not sure how paying vastly higher taxes would make Google (or any other company) less evil or more evil. What if Google pays more taxes and that tax money does (insert really bad thing you don't like)? Paying taxes isn't like a moral good or moral bad thing.

Does it automatically repair itself when it fails? Are you sure you're making a proper comparison?

Yes, you can in fact solve 90% of the problem with 10% of the effort, what's your plan for the rest of the problem? Just call in sick?
Nobody said they're not effective during a war, the problem is they remain effective against any random civilians who happen to stumble across them for a long time after the war is over. Potentially decades, as seen in Cambodia.

It would be a bit of a Pyrrhic victory to repel an attempted takeover of your land, only for that land to end up contaminated with literally millions of landmines because you didn't have a mutual agreement against using them.
The official investigation report is of course going to take a bit, but the ATC audio is public, and the helicopter was warned twice about the plane, and said they had a visual of the plane.

Besides never missing an opportunity to 'slam' the opposition, I have no idea why this is being construed as an ATC failure.
I don't really see that at all. I have a circle of friends, some of whom have iPhones and some not (to say nothing of companies/doctors sending me reminders and the like), and the non-iPhones seem to work just fine. I sure don't care what color their text bubble is.
I think they deserve much more, if for nothing else than because their career is age limited. And it's not like they can go work somewhere else with their career skills at that point. Pensions exist, but it's really a career you have to plan for and dedicate your life to.
Having 85k of purely discretionary income (adjusting for inflation) is still pretty "rich people toy". That's about 105% median household income.
This is what it's been for me as well, for several years— all meaningful friend-group interactions are now taking place in group chats, sadly this is entirely in Whatsapp and FB Messenger for me; would love if there was a reasonable migration path to getting these interactions entirely off of Meta properties.
A lot of people like to focus very exclusive on the aspect if its top-down, with the implied message being that censorship is acceptable as long its done by companies or community leaders rather than government. Yes, it is worse when it is done by governments. But no, it doesn't make censorship acceptable. So much debate happens because some people view all censorship as bad, that is rules intended to inhibit speech and shutdown wrong-thinking, while others want to distinguish between government censorship and "good" censorship. As someone who stand in the "all censorship as bad" category, there is no good censorship! Only grades of wrong.

Different wrongness do get compare. That doesn't make very very very wrong to be equivalent to just very wrong. Both are however wrong. The kind of censorship and self-censorship we have seen in science, popular media and even humor in the last few decades has been insane compared to the decades previous. To throw in a random example, someone who criticized religion was murdered a few days ago in Sweden, and as a society we kind just expected it and waiting for it to happen. Something like Monty Python could not exist today as they would had either been censored or murdered, and so they would have been forced to self-censor long before their skills as comedians would have grown.

Censorship is not something we can pick and choose from.
I haven't heard it be used like that before. It definitely has a positive association in my mind.
>Addicts literally carry around fent testing kits so they can _avoid_ this synthetic opioid.

Its my understanding that heroin and street pharmaceuticals aren't really around anymore. Its ALL fentanyl now and everyone knows it.
The article mentions in the future being able to use Apple Intelligence to create "splash artwork" for invites rather than just uploading a photo or using emoji/memoji backgrounds.
This is the bit I don't get. Why are there so many people ready to line up to defend the powerful against the weak, the rich against the poor?

The richest man on earth in charge of cost cutting. Go and bathe in a jacuzzi of cash Musk, and stop acting like a sore winner...
Analogy is not apt. If other countries are trying to pry into our data and systems, then the right move for google or any other tech company is to advance our defenses and make cybersecurity stronger, more available, and easier for companies and people to use. If someone is trying to hack me, it's much smarter for me to defend myself rather than try to hack the other guy back.
Apple has lost its way. Who is this for?
I remember the adage of the google of the yore, "don't be evil". It would be exciting to see what the community at large thinks on whether google upheld said principle and consequently, whether it could be believed to make further claims on "principles".

There is so much to discover in that region. On a geology class field trip, a few hours south of Lima, our instructor stopped and pointed out a mound that would not have caught my eye at all. Then he explained how it makes no sense for a geological feature like that to be there.

It was a covered structure. A Huaca. Lima has quite a few in the middle of the city. A stark reminder that we’ve been there ,intermittently, for millennia.
My first thought. I’m surprised it’s not everyone’s first thought. Everyone in the bay that I know uses that for parties. Clearly every tech company is aware off the ubiquity of that app at least

I think you've hit the nail on the head of the problem.

A lot of comments online claim that people don't care about spam, or think that advertisements are a good thing for a free service, or at the very least won't change their habits if given an alternative. If that's the case then what's a better explanation for your observations?

I argue that people do care, even if it's perhaps not expressed in words.
> I could absolutely see him making that case for scrapping the term limit

They're already working on a constitutional amendment to allow a third term[0] and right wing lawyers have suggested that there are legal strategies Trump could try employing to stay in power. That along with Trump himself "jokingly" saying that we won't need to vote again if he's elected does not inspire confidence.

This is great! Now all that's left is plugging this into some text-to-speech and a subway surfers/minecraft parkour background
I'm guessing this will be a somewhat controversial view here, but I think this is net good. The world is more turbulent than at any other time in my life, there is war in Europe, and the U.S. needs every advantage it can get to improve its defense. Companies like Google, OpenAI, Microsoft, can and should be working with the government on defense projects -- I would much rather the Department of Defense have access to the best tools from the private sector than depend on some legacy prime contractor that doesn't have any real tech capabilities.
The bait-and-switch model is absolutely amazing as well. Start by offering a service covered with ads. Then add paid tier to get rid of ads. Next add tier with payment and ads. And finally add ads back to every possible tier. Not to forget about keeping them in content all the time.
Big co buys them. Big co sues them. Big co lobbies to keep them out of their space etc etc. Not everything is a technical challenge.
Yeah, ftrace is great and the trace-cmd frontend too. Another swiss-army-knife type of a tool, like perf... and is also available in older kernels.

One thing that I had missed was function call argument tracing, but looks like ftrace will soon have it too (update: it's actually available on modern kernels already, look for CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS kernel config option).

My wife is in a position (board chair for a co-op) that results in her sending out a lot of invites to events. Evite has kinda been the go-to in her social/co-op group for ages, but man it suuuuuuucks these days. Ads everywhere, annoying patterns, and lacks a bunch of nice features that this seems to have.

Very happy to see this
Can you, please, share a source for the claims you make about Marian? Specifically, "developed and open-sourced by a US multinational, Microsoft" and "funded by MS" (from two other comments by you)?

It does look like Microsoft is (was) funding the project, and employs one of the authors as head of research at Microsoft Translator, which is great, but all the "seed" funding and actual research happened in EU. Microsoft hired the author only in 2018 [1], while the earliest EU grant was allocated in 2015 [2], and the main paper they published says "it has mainly been developed at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan and at the University of Edinburgh" [3].

Most social networks don't have a $5-600 buy-in cost though.
you probably released your thing right when anti-AI art started taking off online. Even though people generally dislike AI art now and see it as tacky, you have to remember that Apple can do no wrong. So when they use AI image generation as a gimmick, no one wants to embarrass themselves and be like the next ballmer saying that the iphone won't take off.

Same goes for Apple's moves in the VR space: no one wants to come out and say that it's a stupid idea, because weirder things have worked in the past. Airpods are a counterexample and were initially seen as gimmicky and overpriced, but are now everywhere.

I think it just goes to show that a lot of consumer tech depends on the company image and wider culture. Google glass was pretty much ahead of its time, but was killed due to terrible rep, even though thats exactly the type of thing people are trying to make now.

That quote you quoted does not claim that Microsoft is irrelevant, it claims that the fact that Microsoft is a giant company today, is irrelevant.

Is “DeepSeek” going to be the new trendy way to say to not be wasteful? I don’t think DS is a good example here. Mostly because it’s a trendy thing, and the company still has $1B in capex spend to get there.

Firecracker has changed the nature of “VMs” into something cheap and easy to spin up and throw away while maintaining isolation. There’s no reason not to use it (besides complexity, I guess).

Besides, the entire rest of this is a python notebook. With headless browsers. Using LLMs. This is entirely setting silicon on fire. The overhead from a VM the least of the compute efficiency problems. Just hit a quick cloud API and run your python or browser automation in isolation and move on.
I’ll bet the final NTSB report lists as a contributing factor that there was only one controller that night; a second controller might have had the time to notice the altitude was too close, or vector the helicopter behind.

> Most suggestions of this nature fail to explain how they will deal with the problem of people just seeing there’s no point in trying for more. On a personal level, I’ve heard people from Norway describe this problem for personal income tax—at some point (notably below a typical US senior software engineer’s earnings) the amount of work you need to put in for the marginal post-tax krone is so high it’s just demotivating, and you either coast or emigrate. Perhaps that’s not entirely undesirable, but I don’t know if people have contemplated the consequences of the existence of such a de facto ceiling seriously.

I think if you look at quality of life and happiness ratings in Norway it's pretty clear it's far from "entirely undesirable". It's good for people to do things for reasons other than money.
