It's just a nice, playful touch.
According to DOGE, DOGE were actually the ones who found the error in January that someone in the government had entered $8B in the records and DOGE had it updated to $8M.
We also don’t have much data on how the calculus changes when AI transcript analysis makes the Stasi’s wet dreams a reality.
I think I like what you're getting at (placing blame on the human not the object), but could you tone the attitude down? This read to me as an almost snide correction, I genuinely think you'd convince people if you 'invited' them instead
That's probably why it's in a weird release between 16 and 17.
AI assistance in IDEs was the final nail in the coffin for Apple's development environment, which had already —and consistently— been lagging behind for over a decade.
> iPhone 16e will be available in white and black in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage capacities, starting at $599 (U.S.) or $24.95 (U.S.) per month for 24 months.

Wait a sec. 24 * 24.95 = $598.80

They'll pay you twenty cents to take the financing?
State of the art CPUs aren't fundamentally different to more basic CPUs. They just have fancier microarchitectures, better branch predictors, more cache, etc.

Easy to believe radios would be an order of magnitude harder, what with the ancient proprietary standards and actual physical radio stuff. (The closest CPUs get is serdes and in my experience those are bought in from Synopsys et al.)
This kind of thing should cause more to question when we title the monopolies in these fields an undeniable threat.
It's like anything else.

The question is probably is a net good. Which no one can say right now. Will LLMs cure cancer or be used in Defense industries. The answer is both. But when you think about it, modern medicine originates as an invention of war, the original idea was to come up with better ways to treat injured soldiers. If you find a cure for disease while trying to wage war, and then that cure saves millions of people, you can't say the war was good. But if it's going to happen, there should be some benefits from it.

I have a piece of paper and a pen. I can write a nice letter to a friend, send it and brighten their day. Or I can use it to write a really mean letter. Do we say pens are unethical ?

Why do other manufacturers who debut phones don't get HN posts, but Apple does?

It must have been under $3 for the 150 or so API calls, possibly even under $2, though I'm less sure about that.
3. "Replacing people": Just googling reveals this has already happened.

4. "Incorrect information and bias": LLMs famously hallucinate.

5. Concentrating power: Practically no individuals are capable of running, let alone building their own models.
What branch of government do these independent agencies exist in, and where is that defined in the Constitution?
I wouldn't worry too much about finding new algorithms. The sheer power of QC parallelism will attract enough talent to convert any useful classical algorithm to QC.

It's a bit similar to the invention of fast Fourier transform (was reinvented several times...), O(n log n) is so much better than O(n*2) that many problems in science and technology use FFT somewhere in their pipeline, just because it's so powerful, even if unrelated to signal processing. For example, multiplication of very large numbers use FFT (?!).
This can already happen without help from the platform.
Given that it took about two centuries for the public to accept the heliocentric model, some patience may be needed. A great number of people only learn about gender through undergraduate education. And, iirc, only 25% of the population have undergraduate degrees.
Is bluetooth reliable yet or is this model going to be plagued with the same persistent issues since the iPhone 14?
Why do they have to go in that bent? Report the news, don’t inject prejudices into a story. All the things you mention are true but AP assumes few people know the ground truth and those that do they’d hope would just ignore it.
Hi, im the CEO at Aries. The Unity Parallel is a great one to draw, our goal is to be a complete fintech development engine.

Large banks and institutions can afford to pay past regulatory & infra barriers but in our time building APIs for brokerage like TradeStation and interviewing developers/entrepreneurs we found that not only does Fintech have one of the highest startup failure rates but most of those failures can boil down to regulation, data fees, and infra hurdles that fintech entrepreneurs need to jump over. We’re designed to do all of the leg work so that builders can focus on building and getting to market from day one.

To show off the power of our engine product we built two, soon to be open source, flagship products people can use to trade US equities and options. The first is Aries Infinite which is an infinite canvas product for trading and the second is a low latency mobile trading app for US capital markets. You can see them both at Aries.com
It also has a gigantic pile of obvious errors about how the operational principles and communication chains differ for solid fuel rockets compared to liquid fuel rockets in launching and observing countries.

It's not Steven Pinker's claim alone. Gazzaniga agrees, I think, and I know of one other prominent neuroscientist but don't remember his name. Pinker is "just" a psychologist.

(Edit: Michael Graziano is who I was trying to remember - he uses the words "schematic" and "model")

Your view is called "pan-psychism". It's interesting, but there isn't anything that makes it necessary. Everything we're finding out is that most or all thinking happens outside of consciousness, and the results bubble up into it as perception. Consciousness does seem to be universal within the brain, though.

I find pan-psychism interesting just because of its popularity - people want something spiritual, knowingly or not. I would advise not to insist that consciousness==soul, however, as neuroscience seems to be rapidly converging on a more mundane view of consciousness. It's best to think of one's "true" self according to the maxim that there is much more to you than meets the mind's eye.
Impeachment and a conviction is the legal way to remove him from office therefore that's what should be done.

Even if the impeachment vote were to fail in the House, or conviction vote fail in the Senate, it would underline that ironically name Republicans have abdicated their entire ideology. Rub their noses in it. Make them take responsibility for a dictatorship.
The author's opening complaint is that the AI coding assistant features in Xcode aren't state of the art.

Note: Xcode does have predictive code completion models and Swift Assist. GitHub Copilot for Xcode is an open source extension, proving that it is possible to extend Xcode with newer capabilities.

The author cites examples of superior AI app builders that can generate non-native mobile apps, and claims that this will lead to growth in non-native iOS apps because native development is not keeping up.

The author argues that the lack of AI native app builders is because Xcode is closed source and iOS development is too heavily tied to Xcode. Counterargument: Doesn't the existence of all these non-native iOS apps the author cites suggest that this isn't really true?

The argument takes shift toward imagining a web-based third-party tool for app development and then describing the obstacles to this, like having to run the iOS simulator in virtual machines on Apple hardware. Where is the argument for why these hypothetical AI app builder tools have to be cloud-based, SaaS, web apps? This is at odds with the author's earlier stated preference for native apps. The idea of cross-compiling SwiftUI to WASM to run in the browser is the exact kind of thing that makes non-native apps buggy and unpleasant to use.

I guess if ChatGPT told you to glue the cheese onto your pizza, you'd eat it that way.

Wechat is also the mainland version. It's always been Wechat, and in particular it was Wechat years before they kicked me off of the mainland Chinese version† for registering an American phone number. The reality is exactly what I already told you: the app's name is 微信 in Chinese and Wechat in English. This is why coverage of Wechat's extensive market penetration in China always calls it "Wechat".

Don't believe everything you read in the results of the stupidest web search you know how to run. If you try facts, you might like them!

† By the way, "version" is really stretching things. There is no difference in the app. They don't keep your data within China, you go into a different advertising segment, and by default you connect to a different in-app sticker shop.

Doesn't the EO apply specifically to the executive branch? How is this marginalizing the judicial branch?
In the reviews I read, the 13 mini was a significant upgrade in battery life, compared with the 12 mini. Since your 12 mini is now old, even a used 13 mini (with good battery health) would probably be a significant upgrade. Apple battery replacements for these are not crazy prices either. A used but pristine 13 mini with battery replaced by Apple would probably be much, much cheaper than a 16e.

If I sound like I'm trying to influence you're decision, my apologies! I really disliked the size of the SE 2022, which I bought to replace the last really good Apple phone (SE 2016), and that was much smaller than the 16e. I should have gone straight to the 13 mini - I was put off by no bezels, Face ID, and I guess like a sucker I wanted to buy another SE because I liked the one I had so much. :)
In the same way that West African music and African American music are connected, in the Southern Hemisphere a similar dynamic of cross-pollination exists between Angolan and Brazilian music:

1. Forced migration from Angola to Brazil, caused by slavery. As a result new genres of Brazilian Popular Music are influenced by traditional Angolan music

2. Brazilian Music makes its way back into Angola, new Angolan styles are influenced by Samba and other Brazilian genres.

As an aside: don't miss out on this stuff. In my experience while most people in the English-speaking world are familiar with Bossa Nova, they rarely check out other Brazilian styles like Samba, Choro etc. and Angolan music like Kizomba and Semba. These are very rich musical traditions and if you have a look you will not be disappointed.
Bio-Fuel seems more practical.

It reuses all the existing infrastructure and requires no engine modifications.
Thanks for commenting, and congrats on the launch!

How did you come up with the idea for Aries?
The Pixel 'a' line has been very good at this, the current 8a is the best value of the whole Pixel lineup, and it's way cheaper than this 16e.
No. EOs can be overturned by congress. This EO says that they can't - ie: there's no checks or balances on the President

Yes! Where are the mass protests? Take some inspiration from Serbia: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/feb/01/student-led-pr....

I have been asking myself: what needs to happen until US citizens wake up and finally take it to the streets? In countries like Iran or Syria people have been protesting despite the danger of being tortured and/or killed. People in the US do not need to fear any of that, so what's holding them back?
I don't know how to express this in text, but I want to say that I'm not frustrated by it in the same way that I'm not frustrated by the other things that I just-have-to-do in order to live the life I want.

For example, I'm not frustrated that I have to spend 8 hours sleeping. I simply accept that's the world I was born into, that our bodies require sleep, so I do it. I imagine you probably accept it in the same way. If we were to criticize this from a perspective of "this is a dumb design and we should change it", then maybe we would be frustrated by it.

Now when it comes to "bullshit jobs", I feel the same way. I was born into a society where some % of my job is bullshit but I can be paid for it anyway. But it really doesn't bother me that much, it's historically a great transaction, and I'm not responsible to change it (is it even a bad thing that needs to be changed? even if it's dumb that doesn't mean bad)

I simply spend some hours of my week doing this arbitrary thing, just as I do for Sleeping and Pooping. And as soon as I'm done, I put it down and go live my "real life". I've never thought - "wow 15 minutes spent pooping everyday? I'm wasting my life"

So what's the difference between the bullshit job and pooping? Well maybe there's a perception that these 2 things are different categories because 1 is designed by other humans and can therefore be changed. But I don't actually think it is changeable because it turtles down to some quirk in basic human desire. It won't work in the same way that you can't just tell people "Hey don't be curious today" or "don't be vain" or "don't be greedy".

I accept that our current iteration of society has been defined somewhat organically, much like the way our body has biologically evolved. And that I need to "poop" at the societal level.

The employees of the executive branch are not intended to be a check on the executive branch's powers. They are the agents of the executive.

People are growing tired of this perpetual victim mentality.

You'd still have exactly the same hot write path, it'd just have maybe 50% of the load. That could be a legit optimization, but not having it hardly warrants an incredulous "seriously?" like the OP's.

(And the same for the inverse hybrid strategy of quarantining the writes of highly followed users and handling their fan-out at read time. A neat optimization, and maybe even absolutely once you have accounts with 100M followers. But the vast majority of posts would still be handled via the original strategy.)
The Pi is familiar and comfortable for a lot of people who wouldn't otherwise use Linux or run any kind of server. It's genuinely not the best option in a lot of respects, but it's also the only thing a lot of people know and going to a dedicated server or generic Linux/BSD router seems intimidating, even if they appreciate the possible advantages.

Pi Hole was started specifically as a project targeting the Pi. It wasn't the first to do ad blocking DNS by a long shot, but it did marry a nice web UI to DNS and made it a lot more accessible. Nowadays I think there are much better options like AdGuard that do the same thing, but "running PiHole on a Pi" is a tangible thing to do with the RasPi you got as a gift and is an approachable project for a lot of Linux beginners with real benefits. You can find a million people on YouTube recommending exactly that, and walking you through how to do it step-by-step on a RasPi. Lot of people who are interested in tech but not so skilled probably don't have dedicated servers or know how to set one up, and I expect PiHole on a RasPi gets a lot of momentum from that as something cool and actually useful to do that isn't actually difficult/there are a million tutorials for.

Tl;dr is I agree with you, there are clearly technically superior options. But for a lot of the people you're referring to the alternative is not to run something better on a dedicated server/router, it's to do nothing at all and go back to using the router from your ISP.
Refrain from using quotes unless you are actually quoting something that someone has said word for word. One good aspect of quoting the actual words someone has said is that it can act as a sanity check against potential misinterpretations you might have made.

The actual quote, word for word is "I also don't think this can be called Poker, really."

There is nothing suggesting a tone of authority, on the contrary this is someone explicitly sharing their own opinion on the matter.
I've seen enough actual full blown Nazis call it a nazi salute that anything else is meaningless. The point is that it empowered actual nazis to rise up. That's the worst part.

Realistically, not unless the military fractured and there was a coherent alternative government that some of them aligned with.

There is absolutely no standing up to our military if it is actually deployed against you as a regular citizen without equal military backing.
"This EO says that they can't"

Where does it say that? What existing EOs explicitly say congress needs to overturn it?

Why do they "insert" even non-celebrity posts into each follower's timeline? That is not intuitive to me.
that's not true (I work in the field) but it's not an interesting argument to have.
We are kind of in the middle of a speech war right now. The speech doesn't directly cause harm - but susceptible individuals cause harm via non-speech actions on the basis of that speech.

It's fine if your opinion on the best way to fight a war is to not fight, but that's just your opinion and not necessarily a good one.
In particular, I appreciate that you assign value to the consequences and not the decision itself. Anytime junior engineers on my team would complain about "shitty code" I'd assure them that someone would be complaining about their code in a few years.

Having the context or, better yet, responsibility for the past decisions is great for developing a pragmatic approach to software design AND empathy for other software engineers.

> Neither? It's however the voice is encoded over the cell network. Again, I don't understand why because there's more than enough signal to stream digital audio.

Something's gone badly wrong in your memory; landline phones intentionally drop important vocal frequencies and automatically prevent everyone from sounding like themselves. Cell phones don't do that and have always had much, much, much better audio than landlines.
Where does it say that? What other EOs explicitly say that SCOTUS can override them?
Regardless of whether limited exchanges are possible (and how the views on their relative impossibility differ across the relevant bodies), there's a very clear downside to being the weaker party in an lopsided distribution of arsenals, as has famously been exhibited twice already.

thanks for checking it out and for the feedback!

I had the same thought regarding just giving spam another target!. My quick thought on a solution... the referrer matters a lot. If we can get this to catch on enough that the problem emerges, we'll have the referrer confirm the referral via email. If there's spam with a bunch of different referrers, we can use some simple classification techniques to look for junk senders and require whitelisting before they can flood the system.
I love this!

first time I see people use 'ed' for work!!!

I wonder who else has to deal with ed also... recently I had to connect to an ancient system where vi was not available, I had to write my own editor, so whoever needs an editor for an ancient system, ping me (it is not too fancy).

amazing work by the creators of this software and by the researchers, you have my full respect guys. those are the real engineers!
Sure, but that doesn't mean the platform should make it worse.

Trying to have a conversation on flaky platform is hell.
> I understand that. My point being that 25 year old tech, before the real miniatyrization of circuits and power efficiency mind you, has 7x charge time and yet we are impressed by a few additional hours.

Yes because those phones by comparison do nothing so it’s a meaningless comparison.

It’s like arguing that we shouldn’t be impressed about EV range improvements because the bicycle exists.
