i had the same problem with this behavior from google as i do from apple. i would be just as critical of google zealots blaming apple for google shortcomings as i am for apple zealots blaming google for apple shortcomings.

this is definitely an apple culture thing though. it's such a clear product choice to get apple users to pressure their friends into buying apple products.
Yes, but the fact that Harris cared more about her donors interests than what people wanted, lost her the election and bought us Trump.
This is something I don't understand either. Why is everyone so eager to move from one centralized platform to another? Sounds counterproductive to me.

Btw do you have any good suggestions for distributed platforms? Would Mastodon be considered a distributed platform?
Nice work Hunter! I’m starting a hardware side project so I’ll definitely be giving the book a read. Hopefully it helps me avoid some of the common electronic pitfalls.
How is that any different than a prompt engineer other than the degree to which "...actively participates in the performance and creation"?
Khan made a lot of good regulatory changes, and some good litigation (like RealPage), but a lot of the litigation was frankly counterproductive and/or badly handled.

Splitting Chrome off of Google and making it so that Firefox can't get search engine royalty payments is not going to lead to societally useful outcomes. And voters don't give a shit about it either. The FTC could have had much more impact if they were focused on, say, healthcare, health insurance, preventing private equity from owning (and closing) so many hospitals and chains and nursing homes, etc. They did some of that but it was very clear that big tech was the focus.

And I'm not against taking on big tech even a little bit, but you kind of have to have a plan for the desired outcomes, and it doesn't feel like there was much of one.
Those stats seem correct.

It just seems a bit delusional to justify strong anti-zionism by saying it's 'orthogonal' (horrible word) from Judaism.

It's true the concepts are orthogonal, but in the real world, if someone is railing against zionists, they implicate the vast majority of jews.

That isn't necessarily a problem (if a view is wrong, it's wrong whether one person or 1000 people hold it) but it's Israel/Palestine... people get so angry and use rhetoric about 'zionists' that sounds ugly - at least, if one remembers the term applies to most of the world's jews.
Map of Iron Concentration in the Soil of the Conterminous U.S.
I think that's all purist nonsense. It's like tesla removing the turn signal and drive selector stalks from their cars, or people that use super-minimalist keyboards.

Sometimes dedicated buttons for certain functions are GOOD.

People playing FPS games use two buttons to great effect. Maybe one button for aim, another for fire. People with MMOs can use as many buttons as the mouse allows. Creative types in tune with their environment can assign buttons to frequently used functions and flow through their tasks.

Yes, there are ways to double up functions and use less hardware. In macos you can use control + single mouse button for a context menu.

And I understand that poorly designed products use buttons willy-nilly and create a mess. Many remote controls are rows and columns of identical dedicated buttons that are lazy designs.

But why extra-minimal? I think it is a kind of designer-induced technical poverty.
Yeah, maybe I'm over-thinking this. If I establish that on my projects "make sure to include tests" means automated tests I'll probably be OK.
> You can invoke git-who as git who by setting up an alias in your global Git config

This works even without the alias, by the way: by default `git whatever` will search your path for `git-whatever` and execute it.
Fabio from the GraalVM team here.

I hope it isn't used in production yet because we still consider the use of native extensions experimental in GraalPy. However, we definitely see a need for this and will push it forward. If anyone wants to give this a try, please feel free to reach out to us.

More like Apple restricts data being shared with 3rd party devices as it then loses all hope of curtailing abuse.

As someone who uses Apple because of their MO is not selling everything about me to advertisers this is great news.
hmm, yeah that's right with the imperative model you can have a grammatically correct sentence as well, so that means

the sentence
[police police] police [police]

meaning: The police police will police the police.

could also be

[police police police] police!

meaning: the members of the set police police police (those who police the special police forces that police the normal street police) commit the action of policing!

If I'm understanding what you are saying?
It's funny to read these deranged comments as at the same time as the astronauts are returning to Earth the only (non Russian) way possible... with SpaceX.
I think there is a lot of valuable things in the engine part: data presentation, tools, filters, non-destructive editing, etc. I wish GIMP had a "narrow waist" at this level, like games are usually split between levels and scripts and the engine, or compilers are split between parsing / syntax / high-level concerns and code generation at the intermediate language representation (the part "below waist" is often LLVM).
That's fascinating to me, because many times I've tried to do that it's an exercise in frustration. Terminals don't always have the sensor in the same spot, phones sometimes don't register the connection, and so on. Maybe things work better in the UK?
Yaeh, but they also gave that seal to the US authorities even though everyone clearly knew that this was based purely on wishful thinking.
Lol coincidently had some publoc traded shares force sold last month. Didn't realize (they didn't send me an email). I have a weird ability to pick these kinda stocks! Unfortunately it hasn't been a profitable strategy.
I wouldn't know?

Kind of amazing you're so confident I don't use the Android ecosystem for a whole bunch of stuff. You know a lot of people use one ecosystem for personal stuff, and another for work? Also that people do stuff like... read reviews? Compare features? Compare specs?
They aren't getting any end of the stick here, because this suit does not address the boundary of claims of copyrightability of works with claimed human authorship using AI assistance.
> A technical reason is that the miniature version of Windows 3.1 compressed to only 441,906 bytes, or just under a third of the capacity of a single floppy disk.

Microsoft used DMF, a custom format, for Windows 95 install floppies that held 1680 KB, so 441 KB would be about a quarter of one.

> A safe deposit box isn't expensive and can store a hard copy of your passwords and other personal information.

It may be necessary for other people to get 'authorized' to get access to it.

If you have access to one, it's certainly useful in case something happens to you residence, but one should also probably have access to something more convenient (especially in the case of incapacitance).
I disagree strongly with Kotlin being a better choice than Java. Kotlin solves problems Java had 14 years ago while bringing along totally unnecessary syntax complexity. Moreover it is slow to compile and is essentially a proprietary language.
You missed that the selling point of the picture is the supposed self awareness and intent involved in the monkey taking a selfie?

Yes, of course the author has always wanted the copyright. But the whole reason the picture has value contradicts the basis for that copyright claim. You can’t simultaneously say that you did all the work, and that it’s so cool to see a genuine, self-directed monkey selfie.

What I Saw at the Evolution of Plan 9 [pdf]
Thanks. I assume the tarrifs apply to foreign-made, not foriegn-owned manufacturing (i.e., the VW plant in the US isn't affected). Also, their supply chains will be affected - I'd guess VW's plant has more non-US suppliers but that's not necessarily true.
It's not just about us, it's about less-technical people who might adopt libre operating systems if they're easy to use, but not if web services intentionally refuse to do business with them.
This is a good point other commenters have alluded to, and funny enough, my very first job out of school taught me this lesson - I was hired by a professor in my 2nd to last quarter, in a startup <10 people that was mostly his PHD students. It felt exciting, and this was like, peak startup era - we didn't have a bad product, just a bad/nonexistent way of monetizing. I had some equity but not enough to be working/stressing as hard as I was with how it played out.

Of course, it fell apart in the most obnoxious way possible. We assumed we'd be receiving a series B, that didnt appear, and then tried to monetize aggressively at the last second, got some buyout offers that would have been life-changing money for me at that time, that for whatever reason the founders/board would not accept, boom, no paycheck 6 months later followed by a few months of being shopped around for no pay, basically held hostage, then collapse.

I am kind of glad it happened, I laugh at equity offers or "bonuses" now from startups. The one piece of equity that has cashed on me in my career so far was in the very very low 5 figures. Lol. Less than a cost of living adjustment when averaged over the course of that employment.
Fear in Antarctic base as researcher accused of assault
One thing I enjoy when working on a new feature is to schedule a team call for me to walk through the code, detailing the changes or improvements I've made, thought processes and overall just give better context into what the wall of text they are going to review is all about.

Likewise, I enjoy when colleagues take the time to do the same with their own PRs. It's something I've tried to promote, but I think everyone is just in a default mode of ship-ship-ship, so people aren't eager to have another meeting to attend.

(Ideally, we shouldn't be submitting PRs that are so huge, but sometimes this isn't always feasible.)

How does people having the ability to activate alternative app stores on their phones affect you? Or have a Pebble with similar functionality to an Apple Watch? Just don’t activate the App Store or purchase a Pebble and stay in your walled garden.

We’re lucky our computers aren’t walled gardens because if Apple knew it would work this well with iOS, MacOS would be the same.
> Musk was a darling of the left like 2 years ago.

Not in any leftist circles I was in. You can look through my post history and find me criticizing Musk for wanting to put indentured servants on Mars well before the Twitter buy. There is no such thing as a good person who is a billionaire, and I've never said otherwise.
I've been super happy with Fedora since switching to it on desktop. Unfortunately I'm still biased to Debian for the server usecase. Fedora moves too quickly but RHEL (and derivatives) not supporting major version upgrades is pretty much a deal breaker. Would love a RedHat-themed distro with a ~5year support cycle with the option to do major version upgrades.

> the Netherlands (and most of the European countries) has the skills to build nukes and ICBM in 6 months if it wanted to

Eh, probably not. The Dutch have a serious nuclear power economy [1]. But procuring and refining the uranium would take at least a year. Their larger strategic deficit in long-range missile production (or a civil launch industry).

Planned obsolescence, got to sell 7xxx cards somehow.
Any chance of wireless charging? I can't imagine it being so complicated or expensive... tho most smartwatches come with custom pins so there has to be a reason.

Worst aspect of these watches are the custom charging cradles you have to lug around when travelling.

Hell, even usb-c with some cap/sliding door mechanism would be better.
I'm sure this will come soon to the US with our new overlords looking for new dystopian ideas.
Hyperbolic much? I don't care much for law enforcement or any product of Israel but I'm not inclined to humor misrepresentation of them either.

> the company’s generative AI capabilities can summarize chat threads “to help prioritize which threads may be most relevant,” contextualize someone’s browsing history to show what was searched for, and build “relationship insight.”

This is to help investigators by pre-classifying content, not "hallucinating evidence." If a conversation is nothing but giving directions to a DoorDash driver, it's going to say as much without having to actually go in and read it.

If anything this might help standardize the process. Right now you're subject to arbitrary interpretations.

> “The Fourth Amendment does not permit law enforcement to rummage through data, but only to review information for which there is probable cause. To use an example from the press release, if you have some porch robberies, but no reason to suspect that they are part of a criminal ring, you are not allowed to fish through the data on a hunch, in the hopes of finding something, or ‘just in case.’“

Maybe more problematic here, but you're kidding yourself to think it matters. Only idiots and novices let themselves be ensnared by mental bondage.

There's a reason some jurisdictions force private investigators
into mandatory reporting obligations. You come across shit you didn't intend to all the time, both accidentally and "accidentally."

This is all hoopla over nothing.

If you are an aspiring criminal of any importance, what you SHOULD be fearing is Cellebrite's cloud storage offering for forensic imaging. Between PROMIS/INSLAW, NYPD satellite offices in Tel Aviv and the fact that every American law enforcement agency contracts with Cellebrite, Israeli intelligence is only ever one degree of separation from the digital artifacts of the American criminal underworld.
> "One reason iMessage is less of a total cesspit than SMS is that the ecosystem is closed"

I don't think that's the main reason. iMessage is available on macOS, so by definition isn't that tightly locked down. Anyone can automate/script the desktop app to try and fire off as many messages as you like.

But of course that won't really work because Apple has security algorithms in the network that detect unusual behaviour. Did that user/device suddenly start to fire off 1000 messages to users they've never contacted before? Activity flagged, user blocked.

There are also functions in the iMessage app itself to block and report unwanted/inappropriate/spam messages. So even low-volume spammers will not get away with it for long.

Besides, in the UK, SMS spam is almost non-existent in my experience. Unlike in some other countries I've visited where it's a huge problem. That's not because the ecosystem is any different - it's because there's strict rules that are actively enforced (see TPS: www.tpsonline.org.uk).
Look, the flow is stupid and broken, he's not complaining about typing the $0. I had the same issue. It's a gumroad thing I think.

Again. It's stupid and broken. Not entitlement
What's wrong with paying for YouTube Premium to not have any ads?
Social media expectations are destroying teenage friendships
I am using macOS for about a year now and wow, almost any OS update breaks something. That was supposed to be a Windows thing, according to the memes, but here I go again convincing Apple that my USB network card does indeed still exist.
In grad school, wrote a paper as a homework assignment for a course where reviewed a paper on the idea of using a minimium spanning tree for the traveling salesman problem. The paper did have some math addressing how close the idea was to optimality. That was a long time ago, and now don't have the reference or the homework! From a fast search, now there is

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/approximate-solution-for-trave...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_spanning_tree

Am reminded that the nodes to be visited must have distances that obey the triangle inequality, e.g., like a plane.

Then when traversing the tree, when there is no arc in the tree to the next node, just leave the tree and go direct.
Is Advertising Immoral?
Haha what a crackers comment. Threatening to nuke the Netherlands if ASML sells a lithography machine to China, what are you smoking. The Dutch would probably blow up the ASML factory and short the entire stock market the day before if that sabre was even rattled. Bye bye tech.
> It's literally impossible for a lot of color-impaired people to see

What form of color blindness doesn't let people differentiate between levels of brightness? I checked a couple color blindness simulators and it appears legible.

Heck, white on light green appears to be used in articles about good design for color blind accessibility without any indication that it there's anything wrong with it.

Code is not purely functional. If it is, it is not copyrightable (at least in the US; probably true elsewhere but I am less sure) [0]. I would not expect most prompts to be purely functional.

I have a "wiz" app on my phone that controls my lights. When I read the headline I initially thought it was about this.
The PagerDuty example seems really unique to me though.

That is, the entire point of PagerDuty is to notify you if your services go down. It seems like it would be colossally stupid if PagerDuty were to say "Sorry we weren't able to notify you about your cluster on AWS going down, because we're on AWS, too!"

For other businesses, I feel like the exact opposite incentives are in play. I've seen this in practice: "Yeah, sorry boss our service is down, but there is an AWS outage, so half of the Internet is down - not much we can do about that!"
> At which point does a monopoly becomes a monopoly?

It's generally in the 70-90% range. Right now, it's much easier to argue that Android has a global monopoly.

> There is no need to have a "clear" monopoly like Windows in 1990's to abuse your power and presence in the market.

Well it depends what you mean by "abuse". I mean, even small companies can "abuse" their customers by not building the interoperability their customers want. But we generally prioritize individual freedom, that private businesses ought to have free choice in what they work with or don't. That's important.

That only becomes a problem when consumers aren't able to switch to a competitor. I.e. when there is a monopoly provider. I.e. which controls 70-90%+ of the market.
Yes, I agree. I don't think I am saying anything inconsistent with that.
> The law has all kinds of pockets where they wrote it when people were on horseback... But it still applies.

That's not how it works. It can't be ignored, but even words change meaning over years (and are often imprecise to begin with). The Supreme Court changes intepretations - a lot, recently.
Well, if you have 16 M3-equivalent chips you can multiply the bandwidth by 16, right? Also, as I understand, ML is basically matrix multiplication and it has O(N³) operations on O(N²) numbers, so bandwidth might be not as important as number of ALUs.
Thank you. That sounds perfectly sensible.
Please hire an accountant asap if you ever start a business. Things don't mean what you think they mean in accounting. You are wrong and insist you are right despite multiple people pointing it out to you.
Show HN: I indexed 25,000 Shopify stores to build an embedded shopping API
Hi HN! I’m working on Agora, an AI search engine for e-commerce products.

Excited to launch the Agora API that helps other developers embed shopping experiences into their app. We provide endpoints to search, purchase, and track products sold on 25,000 different Shopify and WooCommerce stores. Early customers are building social shopping apps, marketplaces, and AI shopping assistants.

I’d love your feedback!
While it does come off as self-entitled, it is worth considering that there are a lot of people in the world who are competing for our attention. Sometimes legitimately, sometimes not. Even in the legitimate cases, it is enough to overload most people.

Perhaps it is better to make the point using more considerate words, something to the effect of: hey, we should be thankful that the author is providing the option to get the book for free.
> >>> Tesla didn't innovate, they just made a triangle

Don't recap with fake quotes.
Easily making static executables is a huge boon too.
The unified memory model w/ CUDA support should be the huge differentiator for this hardware.

I think a better comparison might be the Mac Studio ultra.
Ideally, you find the context for why a change was made
Maybe you could reverse-engineer HCE from bank Android app, but that would be rather fragile.
For iOS compatibility, consider this architecture:

- Swift UI layer for Apple-compliant UI/UX

- Zig core library (as XCFramework) for watch communication

- Data processing WebAssembly runtime for watchface interpretation

This avoids Pebble's original JS compiler workaround while still enabling customizable watchfaces within Apple's restrictions

The WASM engine stays within App Store guidelines by interpreting watchfaces as data rather than executable code

TL;DR to avoid this:

iOS App (Swift UI) <-> Zig Core Library (XCFramework) <-> WebAssembly Runtime (for watchfaces)
It matters that the original lighting was carefully hand-crafted by (presumably) environment artists and level designers working with strict limitations. What couldn’t be rendered was faked.

But yeah, I tend to find RTX a massive waste of framerate for little practical gain.
Cool stuff. I like using Git via the CLI, but when it comes to blame, I simply use the preview UI of the VSCode GitLens extension. It takes half a second to launch it from the command palette and inspect the blame.

Stammy! In an odd coincidence, you came to mind the other day as I was putting on deodorant.

Many years ago you wrote a post where you called a deodorant company to ask how many "shoups" to use (where a shoup is one swipe of deodorant).

I don't seem to be finding the post now.

Was that you, or do I have you mixed up with someone else?
If you do business in the US as ASML does then it's a good idea to comply with sanctions. Otherwise they'll sanction you too.

It only works until it does not, and it works less well if one does not abuse it. Maybe this administration will just make it more profitable and safer to ally with China at this rate. A number of countries will be making this decision in the next four years, and Americans very well may be disappointed.
