Hyperbole. Almost no software on macOS requires the latest.

However, it's great that developers are not too concerned with backwards compatibility. It was really holding back a lot of software


I told you a true story about my experience and you call it 'hyperbole'. Well, ok if it suits you.

On your second point, proper developers release security updates and backports for software released decades ago, while others always chase new shiny things and contribute a lot to this unsupportable legacy hell that we have to deal with.


> I told you a true story about my experience and you call it 'hyperbole'. Well, ok if it suits you.

It's almost as if your anecdote isn't reality or truth.


I'm done w/ hybrid cameras. Just make a video focused camera or a photography focused camera. Didn't people learn their lesson after seeing how well FX3 did?

We have examples today of companies that don't need to justify an eventual PE ratio of 25 so why would this be a thing all the sudden? I think you all are misunderstanding vague notions of market fundamentals as some kind of rules by which the market works.

Android is right over there ->

Or hell, anybody from AU should really spin up a tech company or build a phone


> Android is right over there

Where? Apple and Google are a cosy cartel engineered to never let you out.


You sound so helpless as if apple and google are forcing you to buy their phones. Victim much?

You are in fact literally required to purchase an Apple or Google phone to participate in an OECD economy. Your employer will require it, your government will require it. Increasingly, your banks and doctors will require it. Unless you're telling people to live off the grid? But maybe we can have something between the two extremes of living in a fucking jungle or submitting to an enforced duopoly wherein two companies control what billions of people can publish and take a 30% cut from it all? No? That too unreasonable for you?

Literally can't do banking without them. Nor park my car. Nor interact with 99% of all businesses here.

Literally have never had a banking app on any phone. I must not be banking.

Or you're in a different country from me.

You live in a country that requires a smartphone to open a bank account?

Google and Apple aren't, but my banks and government services are trying their best.

Thank god for the US government who had Huawei start HarmonyOS so that long term there will be competition in the world

I would love to know of a water resistant phone of a different operating system, anybody know of one?

It's almost as if challenging assumptions, trying new/old/different things, course correcting after you learn is completely normal thing to do.

Your assumptions only work until they don't. It's not like we live in a static situation. What didn't work yesterday might work today


Rightfully so. Your entire premise is that design should be made with accessibility in mind whereas in reality, accessibility tools should be built to handle those concerns and design should be free to do what it needs to do full stop. If that's being accessible that's fine, but trying to enforce accessibility standards is like saying that Levis needs to make pants for people without legs.


Well it seems like it’s over for litellm. You’d have to be negligent to be using them at this point. If you’re managing this at your company good luck explaining why you should continue to use litellm after this


Hi abletonlive,

I appreciate the feedback. We work hard to make every release safe and secure. The attack was novel, and I'd love your feedback on how we can improve our ci/cd further.

"Novel" is doing a lot of work here. Save the PR for people that will fall for it. There's nothing novel about being internally compromised which you've demonstrated two times in a row

We definitely didn't need the nuclear power activists just like we definitely don't need teh data scenter activists today


Agreed. Activists don't bring as much to the table as they think. But it's easy work and they get to view themselves as important contributors.


I can't wait for everybody to look back on "alignment" and realize that it's a flawed premise at its core and as such, a fool's errand


Alignment is a very broad term. True, it encompasses things like censorship and mandatory refusals in areas people will never agree 100% on, but a completely-unaligned LLM would be next to useless. When the system prompt tells the model, "You are a helpful assistant," that's alignment.


Well if we are going to be broad enough about "alignment" to just mean training that makes it practically useful, then yeah, it's a flawed premise and people are wasting their breath talking about it at all. It's basically broad enough that it means nothing


My system prompts look absolutely nothing like that :)


Sigh


Then we should stop building LLMs right now.


Yes, we should.


Seriously. It feels like Anthropic is realizing this too with their new attempt at safeguards. Trying to train the model to "only do good things" was not working, and so they opted to just bolt a topic classifier on the outputted text.

My suspicion is that model makers are going to give up on what people currently mean when they say 'alignment' and instead rely on additional processing of the model output so they can have their cake (a veneer of safety) and eat it too (latent space reasoning, etc.)


What’s the alternative?


> and most viewers seem to share that belief

Well that explains a lot about the doomerism and misinformation we regularly find on HN. If you don’t see the agenda being pushed or look into who is funding the documentary for just about every documentary in existence then you’re just not very intellectually honest. For example one of the vegan pushing ones on Netflix is straight up funded by/closely tied to for-profit artificial meat companies


True, but not unique to HN. Even “inspired by a true story” films are taken at face value.

To paraphrase George Carlin, my agenda is truth, your truth is agenda.


Which one? Whichever it is, it would hardly be sponsored by the meat industry innit.
