Part of the selling point of a smartwatch, atleast in my opinion, is its ability to run apps that aren't developed by the manufacturer - for example, ones that help me be able to see my blood sugar from my CGM on my watch. They have a whole section of their site for developers, but I can't seem to find a link to any kind of store, even though they specifically say developers should register on their portal
Who decides what is morally wrong? If everyone decided to not follow or enforce laws based on their own morals, society would be in absolute chaos. You can't have a functioning society around "I do what I believe, fuck y'all"
Too bad these researcher's organizations spent their efforts supporting the dumbest possible version of the U.S. government to guide us through the gravity of this moment.
It's the same show, Nova just rebranded it in the US. BTW, here's a full video of the BBC version but available everywhere. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x223gx8
Well, that's kind of weird, not to mention completely unsustainable. Even now I'd be willing to bet that people in your group are secretly using high-end models, just not admitting it.
What other tools do you guys refuse to use on general principles?
Running the Netscape or Mozilla browsers would use up 100% cpu, so it was fantastic to have a dual-cpu system so that your system was still 100% responsive.
I see this is part of the Triptych project, an attempt to, among other things, bring more verbs into HTML forms. As I've said before one of my long-time dreams is to have HTML forms support methods other than GET and POST.
Clicking on forms is how humans interact with HTTP, and for some strange reason the web has evolved to omit many very important words us humans must use to communicate. While a machine is allowed to say `DELETE /widgets/123`, a human is forced to say `POST /widgets/123/delete` or `POST /widgets/123?_method=DELETE`.
This is not only semantically incorrect, but also results in idempotency and caching issues, and, perhaps worst of all, forces developers to maintain two separate APIs: nice, well-formed REST endpoints for machines, and separate kludgy endpoints for humans, who were granted a stunted language.
Wait, so what are we supposed to do. If you over vaccinate is bad, if you under vaccinate is bad, but if you vaccinate a little bit you can end up on the wrong strain. Great! /s
No, Uzbeks themselves use “non” when using Latin alphabet.
Fun fact: in the past Uzbek language has been written in arabic, cyrillic, and, since ~2018, in latin.
I'm working on a much smaller idea, but so far it's just me using it for grad school, and a friend using it for his master ciccerone prep. It has been really useful in the class I used it for while building it. Looking forward to playing with more as I start my fall semester(UIUC CS 425, Distributed Systems).
I need to get some model pricing evals in place to see if I can use open weight models to get it cheap enough, since it's just me and not VC money. The real product potential seems to be getting reusable materials like cert prep, continuing education for careers that require it, and the like. But then you're fighting incumbents that fiercely control their moats.
For some inexplicable reason, you've decided to make an entire post I made, about Elon Musk. I was referring to grok as one example of people indicating they wanted anti-porn guardrails, other platforms have been challenged with law suits as well.
If you want, you can substitute character.ai and their need to add age verification, due to pending law suits. It makes no difference. All this noise about Elon is entirely, completely, and absolutely irrelevant to the point I was making. Nothing you have said shows otherwise.
The owners actions, in terms of determining the legal implications for all platforms, for attempts to ban open models, for what guardrails platforms must have, are irrelevant. We're talking about setting standards which will last decades, if not longer, legal precedent, and how this is handled will change the entire marketplace.
Some tweets you didn't like have no importance in this kind of discussion. The stance of an owner of one company, have no importance in this discussion. Grok was used as an example, there are others, as cited above.
No, it doesn't matter that Musk this and Musk that. I don't care. It's not relevant.
You've missed the entire point I was making, entirely and completely, which was that there can not be two standards. If it's illegal to have a model produce porn, or CSAM, or whatever, then it must, I repeat must be application agnostic, be regardless of how that model is run.
Yet here you are, almost frothing at the mouth, on and on about Musk. You're like a bull that saw red somewhere. I don't care about whatever US style politics are involved here. I don't care about Musk. Musk, or US politics are not important to me. Musk has nothing to do with the point I was making.
I don't know how to make this any plainer to you. Any response where you talk about Musk, is an incorrect response. This thread isn't about Musk. I don't care about Musk. I don't care about your opinions of Musk.
Hopefully the above clears up your incredibly weird, out of the blue obsession with Musk as a topic in this thread.
Apple absolutely does not provide Apple Card in-house, and in particular is not loaning you the money when you use it. Among many other reasons, for that to be legal would require Apple to be a bank, which they're not and they definitely don't want to be, because being a bank is a huge pain, and in particular means signing up for an extremely heavyweight regulatory compliance regime.
Apple Card is the result of a co-branding deal between Apple and Goldman Sachs (which is currently in the process of exiting the deal and being replaced in that capacity by JPMorgan Chase). Apple provides the branding and some minor fintech features; Goldman (or in the future Chase) issues the card and is on the hook if people don't pay their credit card bill.
Presumably for this particular program using Klarna was cheaper because Klarna already specializes in precisely this kind of transaction.
So having established one would have to institute I'm-hiding-from-at-least-two-sovereign-governments-that-are-actively-hunting-me levels of OPSEC to even stand a chance of avoiding being thoroughly fingerprinted I'm fairly confident in my point is proven here. I don't see anyone proposing to gut Meta and Google's business models, ban data brokerages, or any of a myriad other possible things that would at least in theory result in the possibility of actual online privacy. What I'm seeing is folks screeching at the prospect of a legal framework by which these companies negative impacts on kids might be managed. And of course literally no alternatives are proposed to address said harms in lieu of requiring ID so here we are.
Very cute idea. I would expect that with a 15 second develop time and no live display preview some kind of optical viewfinder would be very helpful. I love seeing weird cameras.
It is starting to feel like if the US bans a technology then you know that is the good stuff. In the same way all the best albums had the "Parental Advisory Explicit Lyrics" label on the front.
I invested in a bit of time biting on " ... for tech platforms" -- surely not ... until finally looking upwards at the topic header. The opening paragraph soon makes it clear - media platforms.
It's long been said a picture is worth a thousand words -- but this reality has skirted over one thing ... not just any old picture.
Quality matters. Good expression of an idea, whether written or visual should aim to frame intent, content along with context if required in a manner that is not easily[1] misunderstood.
Yes effective communication is an art. Once people were schooled so that eventually, they could easily write well enough to summarise an event or topic they understood with some depth, that would enable equally educated people to understand what was written, conveying what they needed to be able to grasp the matter as intended. It's harder though when writing for people of differing educational backgrounds or may or may not be familiar with the topic. Will including additional explanations which are required to convey the same for the novice or clueless newbie enthusiast, bore those familiar with the topic?
For some who might write well enough in a field they know well, they may struggle hard to write effectively about an abstract idea or subject matter. More times than not it's easier to just say out loud whatever thoughts what comes to mind, typically thoughts with a very loose structure. So the advent of places like youtube in the 00s allowed them to do just that. Places like youtube saved them a lot of time if they wanted to make a quick reply, otherwise it would require them to write those thoughts down, think about some points more closely and perhaps double check some facts.
This is where I'd agree that writing something down is a better than those who jump in front of the camera and waffle on for five or ten minutes, often going over the same point two or three times needlessly. But youtube and since then similar platforms enable not only those who want a quick or more expressive form to say something - it enabled the vapid clueless but well spoken BS artist to jump in front of the camera and say, well whatever comes to mind without the limitation of being in a real conversation and being pressed on just what they meant when they said ...
Bad writing happens as well though, apart from mere poor efforts, a compilation by those using big words they clearly don't understand, painting with ill fitting terms to the point it's literary nonsense. As with many folks, I've also wrangled with various written books or instructions that perhaps weren't vetted the best or used an ambiguous word / term or two.
Another mistake with writing: More words spent telling the story is ok if it's a complicated story. The preference away from the printed word was not helped when a couple of decades ago magazines started to fluff up articles in their ever thinning pages of content. Some made fluff an art form, uncompressing two good paragraphs into three pages including meaningless artwork. They I think, had followed in the steps of what I first noticed in the 90s, the emerging abundance of dumbed down science or similar books in particular with fluffed content to replace niche information leaving something that looked the right size, visually appealing, but somewhat short on real details. I guess they were really only meant to sit on shelves or coffee tables.
Visual / video aids though do have a place, monkey see, monkey do is almost instinctive with some people and for those tricky things, a great bonus to have the spoken word (audio or subtext) by a very thoughtful, very experienced commentator. Say for a DIY repair - a video, not only seeing what's done but includes an apt well spoken explanation expertly guiding the novice though what's required and various things to be mindful for. Poor or confusing video commentary is often as would be expected, detrimental.
[1] There will be those who have made an art form out of only reading or seeing what they want to.
No claims here, though Algolia brought me here to alleged collateral damage: someone scraping HN a week back was unable to do their usual summary of a story and comments given a political refusal. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48987120

(I vouch for none of these alleged tests.)
Of course when these tests used hosted models, different rules can apply. btw China is an amazing country with amazing people; my interest is in a little of everything, including free SotA-adjacent open software (thank you China!). Both respect their sovereignty to regulate software as used within their borders and hope labs there find value in serving Western users with the openness/transparency we (I) like to think we desire. I believe grappling with the most uncomfortable topics will be to their advantage in the long run. And ours (USA), too. The more we can divorce ourselves from bias, the more we can all win, I hope. My bias is towards humanity [being safe, happy, fulfilled...].
(While I might sound like someone who'd appreciate the model billed as "maximally truth seeking", unfortunately due to training or system prompting or something, Grok is trash unless you need to search Twitter or perhaps bypass botblocks. Or make "7K sex images of stepdaughter", I reference with apologies and deep sympathy to Jane Doe 4.)
so it's been out for less than a month. That's why you've seen zero reviews on websites, it's an indie Kickstarter. They don't have the marketing budget of a big wearables brand.
It has a GPS, IMU, and heart rate sensor: That's enough, obviously, to track activities, workouts, and health which their competitors do with the exact same set of sensors. It remains to be seen how accurate those are, or how well the manufacturer and community can develop useful algorithms to turn raw sensor data into activity logs and actionable health insights, but step 1 is to release an MVP to get people wearing the watch and logging data, and step 2 is to use the data to improve the algorithms.
I'd suggest you to spend some months in a really cool country. You know, a place with parliamentarian government and not presidential, public healthcare, gun control, restrictions on corporations bribing politicians, true multiparty democracy, etc.
I'd suggest places like Western Europe, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, etc. Don't just visit it, try to live there for a while, work and understand the culture. I know, you think all of that is just "socialism" but trust me, it isn't bad at all.
