Ask HN: How can we improve our site?
Hi guys,

When reading about or researching smartphones, you can check out text based reviews on Tech news websites e.g The Verge, GSMArena etc or search YouTube to watch videos. We're trying to bring these together into one place with our site, ComparePhones (http://www.comparephones.net/).

How can we improve our site? We'd love to know what we need to do make the site as useful as the aforementioned sites. Feel free to comment here or complete our quick survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZCCMCMV

Thanks
Alex
We run Arista 7280SR's on our edge. I went looking, and as far as I can tell, the TTL is NOT part of the default ECMP algorithm on this platform (Jericho chipset)? We certainly haven't tuned this setting one way or another. I would love for someone more experienced with Arista kit to weigh in on this, since it seems like it may be platform dependent. We do have a support contract so I can reach out to them directly, too.

These commands are the best I could find browsing the Arista docs/blog/forums.

edit: fixed code formatting

edit2: We're on the EOS 4.20.x version train, fwiw

#show port-channel load-balance jericho fields | grep TTL
IP TTL field hashing is OFF

#show load-balance profile (output snipped for brevity)
---------- default (global) ----------
IPv4 hash fields:
Source IPv4 Address is ON
Protocol is ON
Time-To-Live is OFF
Destination IPv4 Address is ON

If you want to adjust the program and add additional exercises you need the upgrade. Otherwise, it works great, built in videos and progress graphs
I walked past one of these in Japan and it even had a really nice kids play area, a cot/baby sleeping area, a TV area with consoles, etc!
Well the people in those places are allowed to openly talk about and pursue independence, unlike any place in China at all. Why don't you view Tibet as occupied?
Good point. I wonder if that could be detected and compensated for, though?
Actually, people thought I unfriended them. There was no point in me making a post, it would have been impossible for them to see it through all of the promoted content in their newsfeed.

Om is right, Facebook is not needed, but to me Facebook is the worst thing to happen to the Internet because they are trying to make the open Internet irrelevant. I hate them for it.
Yeah wireless internet and mobile devices were talked about for a long time, then suddenly wifi/wireless networks and mobile devices appeared quickly and took over in a flash. Same with flat panel screens/tvs etc.

At some point a killer implementation of the technology and costs come together making new innovation possible and market ready, and it is such a benefit that going back is nearly impossible or at least more problematic and costly.

Even now, wired internet will go the way of the phone line when 5G or beyond are here, ISPs milking it until then.

With cars, electric will take over quickly when costs come down, non electric cars will be around for a long time but they will be more and more costly.

The change also creates such a growth market that it attracts tons of money/investment/marketing and it is a mad dash to get everyone using the new innovation, once it is business and market ready.
That's actually incredibly useful. The aviation industry and any pilots must be stoked.
Can any of the places in china even discuss independence in the open? Well, every place in the US can. They even can leave if they get enough votes. Go ahead and let me know when anyone in China gets to vote on anything.
Yes, I am comparing roads that run at full capacity to rails that are basically unused, because that is normal.

Realistic trains in the USA are perhaps 20% full. Including the stops, they average 35 MPH, which is about 56 km/hour. They run once or twice an hour in the morning and in the evening. They shut down for many hours each day, for example from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM and also from 8 PM to 5 AM.

I'll pick several examples I've seen. These are thus not perfectly random, but they are not chosen to be unusually bad. Typical railway right-of-way is 100 feet, which is enough for a highway.

Caltrain example: It's every 90 minutes, though sometimes better if you are at the right stop (express service) or at the right time of day (rush hour). On weekdays, 62190 people ride it. It goes for 77.4 mi (124.6 km) in 143 minutes, so about 32 MPH or 52 km/hour. The land usage per person is 657 square feet.

Tri-Rail example: Trains normally run an hour apart. It is 38 miles per hour (61 km/h) overall average, which is pretty awful compared to a car on the nearby interstate 95. It carries 14000 per day over 71 miles, but of course most people don't go the full distance. The land usage per person is 2678 square feet.

MBTA Lowell example: Today they ran 8 trains. On weekdays they run up to 26 trains, with a shutdown for 6.5 hours each night. The line does 11965 people per weekday, with maximum distance 25.4 miles (40.9 km). It takes 47 minutes, so about 32 MPH or 52 km/hour. The land usage per person is 1121 square feet.

Look at the square footage. Without subsidies, ticket prices would need to be like a day of renting a townhouse.
I wonder how such anycast setups would deal with MPTCP.

How excited would you be to see those at a gas station? It implies a wait time I’d be concerned about.
Asus Zenbook UX305 also support Linux 100% out of the box. It’s essentially a MacBook clone with 13” 1080p screen, m3, 8 gb ram, and 256 ssd. I currently use one with Mint Linux and is happy with it.
You know what I'd love? A tool that lets me identify what USB-C features a cable supports. As I understand it there are multiple cable variations, but it's not possible to identify visually.

It would be even cooler to have a device that you could plug into a port to identify what USB-C features the host supports, but I don't know if that's possible.

In general I like USB-C, but having such a large mix of capabilities without an easy way to identify what's supported is a big pain point.
«started from a higher base where you would expect growth to be more difficult»

This is an incorrect intuition. Compare to a few other similar (ie. developed) countries of different sizes like Germany, Canada, South Korea, the growth per capita is roughly the same: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD?end=2...

«GDP per capita is growing on par with the U.S»

That's exactly my point. Japan is not "declining".
True. And not just Indian states. Indian villages, from what I've read.

Edit: Again, I'm doing my best to avoid being racist or whatever. It's just mind-boggling how diverse India is. It's like thousands of cultures have been shredded and displaced for thousands of years. And somehow remained incredibly distinct and segregated.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a 5 mile trip.

What if three of that’s on the highway? Is that little electric scooter going to do 70 safely with all the SUVs around weaving in and out? Without me getting squashed?

And when it’s snowing heavily? And maybe there’s already a foot on the ground, plus a whole bunch of ice? You think a lot of people are going to want to do their 5 miles then?

Being on a motorcycle is pretty dangerous because cars don’t watch out for you. Being on a bicycle is far worse. Being on a little electric scooter on “real“ roads sounds like a death trap (again, saying nothing of large roads/highways).

Don’t say scooter lanes. That doesn’t seem to protect bicyclists.

Yes, all this can change. But right now it’s a BIG issue for small transportation replacing cars.

I’ve seen one or two people in the suburbs around me using tiny segues or high quality hoverboards. I just can’t see that catching on for any realistically sized group of the population the way everything works right now.
If co-relation isnt causation then you can say the same about becoming an open market too right? Also, there is a difference between government ownership of enterprises, private but domestic ownership and foreign ownership. China has tried to ensure that important businesses are owned domestically.
Ask HN: Do AI/ML companies actually have real customers?
I've seen many companies attempt to use AI/ML as a business model.

Personally speaking, I left my own job earlier this year due in part to deep disagreements about how my previous company was utilizing and marketing itself as AI-based, even changing its name to include "AI".

But when I left fintech to work in the healthcare industry (totally different role), people started coming to me to pitch their products/solutions. I started getting pitched AI products (harness the power of AI & predictive analytics!), and the use of buzzwords was pretty outrageous. I started wondering...do these companies have any real customers? Who are buying these products, and are they seeing a sufficient-enough ROI to justify these purchases?

The StarTrek game was the first game I ever played. I asked my father to teach me decimals to fire the photon torpedos properly. Seeing this again brings back some really early memories.
Readable quote for mobile:

> 5:09 - 5:24: at 5:09 two vertical rocks pan onto the screen, which appear to be part of a small natural shelter, and are visible in the center of the screen until 5:24. There appears to be movement in this area/shelter, at first I thought it was the light hitting the rock, but the movement looks intentional and the spot moves away from the rock. waving motion being made from about 5:13 through 5:24 when the camera pans away from the spot.
I'm shocked by how crazy the graphics were for back then...I mean seeing the metal logo, I couldn't quite believe that this was possible in 1993. I still have the CGW magazine from this era.

Completely agree with this. For some reason there's some knee-jerk reaction to digital independence. I feel like having centralized services like Google and Facebook has managed to to remove a lot of the cultural experience when looking up things in various European countries.

On the contrary, it's disingenuous to act like resolution or color are metrics of "performance" when the colloquial usage of the word generally refers to processing speed and memory capacity. I/O speed would qualify, but is only one metric; it is correct to say it is outperformed by other machines at lower price points when accounting for the CPU and RAM.
But then other instances just blacklist them, right?

Edit: And damn, the quoted post from social.i2p.rocks actually makes some sense. The language is harsh, for sure, but the support for freedom is pretty clear.

Also, how hard is it to manage accounts on multiple instances? So I could see both mainstream and fully unmoderated.

I used to be excited about prediction markets for a while, but I've since accepted that, except for some niche applications, they won't be terribly useful and possibly even dangerous.

I was ultimately convinced by NNT's arguments, that a) prediction is the wrong thing to focus on (robustness or "anti-fragility" to wrong predictions is) and b) humans aren't good at predicting [the outcomes of complex systems] one way or another. PMs may be better than expert panels, but reality doesn't award extra points for being marginally less wrong.

Prediction markets are also called "information aggregation markets" and in that capacity they may be useful. Assuming all relevant information is out there, but doesn't properly propagate upwards a hierarchy for "behavioural" reasons (e.g. nobody wanting to be the face of bad news), then an anonymous (!) market could be the way for information in the low ranks to move where it is needed. In this case, there is hardly any "prediction" involved, and I assume it could work for that reason.
It still runs. Let's keep the fridges to "for parts" ebay purchases for computers that combo of old and interesting.
You have got to be kidding me. There is just no comparison between India and China in freedom of anything.

I am sick of people painting India as some bad place where minorities and women are treated badly. Sure we have problems but this narrative of the persecution needs to stop. Give me one country where women are safe. Next compare per capita crime towards women with the top countries in the world and we can have a conversation.

Incidents with minority get all the press. The ground reality is more two way. I remember the whole town being shut down for Muslim processions because who would risk angering the mob? My muslim brothers and sisters generally have a much better status and bonding in India than at least in the US.

I am willing to answer, please ask away.
And, at an equivalent of about $1 a gallon, lots of people will get on that.
This probably wont work well if all in cloudy days or with any kind of snowfall (due to very low amounts of incoming irradiance). Also, just the aluminum coating in this 3 layer material weighs 586 kg for a 747 wing area.

So you don't think it possible for an inaudible DRM scheme to be embedded into the music?

This exists commercially: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinavia

I don't know if it's truly "inaudible", maybe some experts can detect it? But probably 99% of people can't.
Something like this could help. What modern "social networks" lack is proper separation and barriers to entry. Previously BBS just accomplished it by being separate, owned by private individuals, and topic based. Both Reddit and Twitter broke that.
As far as I know, Teslas are unique or nearly unique in that you can put the car in park and exit the car and there is no risk that you accidentally leave the car on. Certainly in Toyota vehicles (even brand new) you can arrive at your destination, do the wrong sequence of button presses, and end up with the car in park (so it won't roll), with the engine physically off (because the car has automatic stop-start, so it is likely to turn off the engine by itself when you park) and exit the car, and end up with the car in a state that will restart the engine when it starts to cool down or when the 12V system wants to be topped off and start emitting CO. In your garage.

I've made this mistake myself, although not in a garage, and I've noticed it before I actually exited the car. But a surprising number of people have actually died due to this UI failure.
Lack of a batch delete function made me chuckle a bit, This alone and a select all on page feature would seem to take the sting out of the late night or impromptu delete a bunch of f u comments from a cat post events. Why would that feature not be a priority?
I was not suggesting this particular system.
> But the point of tesla is they are making investments long term.

What definition of "long term" do we have here?

How many years did it take for Apple to become profitable from the iPod? The iPad? The iPhone? It was profitable throughout all of those years.

That's the very point of technology gadgets: they don't require huge upfront costs like Tesla. Apple does have innovations (see their custom ARM chip, which is consistently superior to Snapdragon in benchmarks every year). But even with the billions of dollars needed to custom-make an uncore from scratch, Apple remains profitable.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/267728/apples-net-income...

https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/TSLA/tesla/net-inc...

Since 2005 (and maybe earlier), Apple has made a profit every quarter. Since 2009 (before Tesla's IPO), Tesla has NEVER made a profit.

Its completely insane to compare these two companies. They're run completely differently, aside from both being California based.
My personal experience is as follows:
1. Eat meals, breakfast, lunch and a light dinner - end at 4pm.. You begin your fasting after this - no eating or snacking after you have dinner. YOu should eat breakfast around 8am the next day - so between 4pm to 8am, this is when you are fasting.. that's why they call breakfast - BREAK the FAST. You can do this every day.
Not sure if this is helping my stage 4 colon cancer, but it's doable :)

Chain mortisers almost inevitably clamp to the workpiece. Mostly because if you're cutting mortises big enough to need a chain mortiser, the workpiece is by definition too unwieldy to move to the machine.

Biscuit joiners, mortising jigs for routers, and the Festool Domino are also hand-held tools, or at least can be moved to the workpiece. What they're doing is kind of slick, but it's academically slick.

That router in the video you posted is pretty nifty. One thing that's to be noted is that cutting single pass half-blind dovetails requires pretty a very accurate offset between the pin board and tail board if you want the edges of the boards to line up when you're done. Getting the offset right on the fixtures is basically half the problem.
What exactly are you having trouble understanding?
Between USB-C and mSATA/mPCIe/M.2 it seems like in just few short years the state of hardware UX reverted from "match the shape to the hole" to "buy pre-matched / pre-assembled and don't you dare lose or mix/match anything." What happened? Psychoactive substances in the water? Hostile takeover of the standards bodies by marketroids? Anyone here have an inside perspective?
The whole project smells of YouTube woodworking culture. That's not a bad thing! It's just that the device itself reads like a CNC Pantorouter (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wZ1v4PIsYI). They show a table-top workbench. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjqWvpdNbms) And, the final example is of "Korean Joinery" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4lOeUYoDME).

None of this is damning. It just gave me a heck of a sense of deja vu as I watched. I almost expected stop-motion clamps to squeak by, a la Frank Howarth!
Given some definition of "suddenly".

I don't expect everyone to run out and buy brand new cars off the showroom floor en-masse the instant the economics favor the newly available flavor of shiny.

Cars are big ticket items often involving financing, they're sticky. This is why it's pretty damn urgent that we get the competitive EVs on the market ASAP. Every new ICE vehicle we add will be on the roads for quite some time, especially with how mature/reliable they are today. My 94 Japanese econobox has nearly 300,000 miles and still runs great.

The other issue is as increasing numbers of ICE vehicles get replaced by EVs, the gasoline demand drops, and the prices may correspondingly drop. In the words of a friend of mine: "All the oil in the world will be burned."
Yeah, this list is a blocklist which many "safe" instances use. But I thought it could be useful to find unmoderated instances too, author invested a lot of time into it.
That's elaborate. More elaborate than expected for Go.

I was expecting something more like explicit parameterized types. Go already has those - maps and channels are parameterized types. You just can't define new parameterized types. Extending Go to allow those would be a smaller step. That doesn't get you overloaded functions, though.

The designers of this wanted the ability to define a new function F(T x) which works for any T upon which a known list of functions can be applied. Then they wanted that to work for separate compilation. So there's all that "contract" stuff to carry the info about what F needs from T. Seems clunky. It violates the rule "You should never have to tell the computer something it already knows." It's clear how the constraints they set upon themselves lead there, but it's still clunky.

This design does not support template metaprogramming or any other form of compile-time programming.

Whew! That's a relief.

"We expect that most people will not write generic code themselves, but many people are likely to write packages that use generic code written by others."

In other words, maybe it is a little too complicated.
TL; DR: As I was brushing my teeth, I realized this is basically the bread machine of woodworking tools. If you're making commercial quantities of bread, you need a bigger machine. If you're making bread for the joy of making bread, why use a machine at all?
I can’t buy one from my brand I trust.

I don’t want a GM. I don’t like the way they look anyway. The offerings from Honda or Toyota or often limited to certain states and I was unavailable in less I want to go through the giant hassle of purchasing it somewhere else and then getting it shipped here (so I don’t get stuck charging it on a very long journey over and over and over again).

I’m not aware of Ford having one. I know BMW does, I saw one the other day (not a big fan of the looks), but that’s way out of what I would want to spend anyway. Mercedes would be the same issue if they have one. The leaf has a small range if I remember correctly. The bolt is a hybrid, and isn’t the volt as well?

Honestly, I don’t know of any all electric cars made by non-luxury brands except for the Leaf, Clarity and all electric Prius.

Just having one decent all electric car available from each of the major brands in the majority of markets would be a big step forward in allowing the transition to happen. If you don’t want to pay luxury prices you have a very limited selection. And it’s worse if you don’t live in California or a handful of other places.
I don't know what you find complex about the type system, but I actually find it slightly limiting. They keep improving it, so it can express about 95% of what I want, but I still hit situations where I can't tell the compiler everything.

I think it's just a grotesque proliferation of complexity and "feature-driven standards development".
Fun times. Could have been the envy of all your engineer buddies with one of those bad boys all to yourself. What a difference 25 years makes.

Personally I find that learning about these machines is a good way to better understand computer architecture because each one was, during its reign, some really smart bunch of peoples idea of what was state of the art. You can see the evolution of ideas that way.
