Here's the discussion of that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27432001

It works for me, but not as good as the ones based on content list filters. It's also brings odd problems: google.com breaks on first search request, but ipv6.google.com does not.

Have you tried AdGuard?

There are banks that do not work via a browser. But no one prevents them from doing that. It's their conscious choice, not a technology limitation

Maybe things have improved since that time (about a year ago). But my question was along the lines of "is it true that in Finnish this word means that?" and ChatGPT promptly confirmed with nonsense

You mean Firefox that refuses to support web standards for encoded video streams for ideological reasons?

> Answer: bank/financial apps, enterprise apps, government apps and copyrighted media (music, video, games, books, ...). Those are the players that demand excessive control over end-user devices, and thus the ultimate driver behind the problem we're discussing.

Those work perfectly via a browser, on any platform where the browser can run. As long as a hypothetical open OS has a browser capable with bog standard modern capabilities, it will be fine

I asked a Finnish person how good an answer about the language example from ChatGPT was. It turned out to be a hallucination, a confidently sounding nonsense.

The quality of internet trained models degrade very fast with language material size

Ah, so you are talking about frameworks and ecosystem, not the language

> It is already far, far ahead of anything Swift has to offer

Please share what Kotlin has that Swift doesn't

> React Native is popular because there’s a thousand times more React devs than native devs.

Exactly this. And they come cheaper. JS dominance in development stems from business logic, not from quality of development environment or tools, or developers preference.

Interop with Android SDK / NDK, plus a simple way to get started with development.

Cannot agree more. The UI concepts and capabilities differ too much. Any cross platform UI solution will always be missing some hard to implement things and many recently introduced UI features. And so far I haven't seen a single non trivial app from RN / Flutter world which would feel native on iOS.

> But that's not semantically meaningful Swift code in any normal context, nor is it idiomatic. `self` is equivalent to `this` in C++, and is never normally null.

It is, when `self` is captured weakly in a closure, and that closure is outliving the instance.

Nothing was wrong, it's just the general perception of customers has shifted.

The internet was full of comments very similar to what you can read here, lacking specific details and objective critical analysis, all saying how behind the times and inconvenient current Apple UIs were. How bad skeuomorphic approach is in general. How not modern it is.

And then it changed with iOS 7. The reaction was exactly what it is now.

The porting is not straightforward; you must switch to Metal, you should adapt rendering pipeline to tiled deferred shading.

Could be true, but not sure how good the results can theoretically become. According to Cerny's words from an interview the current PS5 pro upscaler is tuned specifically for popular playstation games, i.e. they have some extensive testing to catch artefacts.

However it can be a way to ship a smaller and less capable model which fits limited memory and is working just good enough.

Signed by any non-authorised signature is the same as unsigned from security perspective.

I call "running unsigned binaries"

This video is a direct continuation of the one where Cerny explains logic behind PlayStation 5 pro design and telling that the path forward for them goes into rendering near perfect low res image then upscaling it with neural networks to 4K.

How good it will be? Just look at the current upscalers working on perfectly rendered images - photos. And they aren't doing it in realtime. So the errors, noise, and artefacts are all but inevitable. Those will be masked by post processing techniques that will inevitably degrade image clarity.

The author lost me in the first sentence calling Deutsche Bahn a well-liked company. I don't know which planet they are from.

So far the biggest weakness of Signal is identification via a phone number. It's not only hackers who can spoof the numbers, but an authoritarian governments too may take ownership of a number at any moment.

Addressing future threats is good, but priorities should be different.

Bootloader is unlocked on Macs. That's how Asahi Linux started

The historical data shows that France didn't have upwards trend in nuclear generation since early 2000s.[1] I wouldn't bet on it to change regardless of political climate.

You can create an American account and login with that on your phone. App Store account can be separate.

What dividends this propaganda would bring? Apple is making their product less compelling in a market where they have lower share than in the other markets where this feature will be available.

They are simply weighting potential fines / loss of revenues due to being forced to share technology with competition against monetary losses due to fewer sales. So far fewer sales win.

That statement contradicts the significant growth of ARM in server space in recent years.

Your argument was that this is a distinction without a difference. I pointed out the difference: apps on alternative app stores exist until Apple is legally forced to remove them.

Difference is in the fact they don’t have any incentive in checking submitted apps to alternative stores. Does it even launches? Does it use private APIs that will break tomorrow? Who cares. Surely not Apple. It’s on that alternative stores.

But if they asked to block an app due to breach of a law, they will oblige.

That would be a valid argument if Apple mislead you into buying iPhone under the false premise of „you can install everything you want“. Instead, you either chose to blame Apple for making your phone work exactly as it was intended, or, as customary on the internet, you are blaming Apple for designing device you don’t even own against your expectations of how they should do it.
