Photos. If you have a lot of photos they won’t fit in your Mac easily. Photos.app doesn’t work when on a NAS (cloud sync won’t go unless it’s open, and multiple users can’t access a NAS DB without issues). Apple doesn’t seem to handle family albums at all without either sharing an iCloud account or manually sending each photo to a shared album. Eww.
I’d love a way of having all users photos uploaded to a cloud then synced to my NAS, but I’ve yet to find a good solution.
i’m curious : what kind of things are you doing with your phone to determine that the modem is garbage ??
This is no longer the case; human computer hybrids are no longer competitive in chess.

From Wikipedia:

About time Apple recognized this issue with the iPhone X. We’ve been replacing iPhone X displays nonstop for months due to this issue and the troubleshooting process to have Apple cover it has been a huge pain.
What is the big job market for AI/ML? I see some Kaggle competitions, and a few high wage jobs working for the big tech companies, but it still seems pretty niche.

Makes sense from a theoretical viewpoint, b/c all AI/ML models are not Turing complete in order to be optimizable, whereas your average programmer easily churns out "models" in a Turing complete language. So, joe blow programmer is universally more powerful than any AI/ML algorithm. He can program an AI in his TC language, but AI cannot replicate his work in a non TC language.
I have a question: what is the most effective way for a social platform to prevent harassment? Every relevant social platform has a harassment problem. People are mean; relative anonymity & tribalism make it worse.

This article offers no new solutions. Ramp up reporting and moderation? Instagram services a billion people. Even if Facebook multiplied their moderation team by a 100, they still would be drowning in information.

Considering the scale of this issue, I can see why these engineers are deferring to their idée fixe - machine learning. I guess I'm just skeptical. What are they going to do? Have a team (arbitrarily?) identify harassment by eye and use it as training data? That sounds like a draconian recipe for disaster. At the very least, its insufficient. Identifying harassment is not the same as identifying a street sign; it often requires the context of complex, offline interactions or shared info between two people. A friend asking "When can I see you again?" is fine. A stalker asking the same thing? Not so much.

I really want harassment to be solved. I hate that the internet is like this. But this problem would exist even without platform negligence.
Testers are techies I would assume.
This is incorrect.

People can be suicidal - can have suicidal ideation - without having an active plan.

Thoughts of "I feel trapped", "I feel hopeless" are red flag signs even if the person doesn't have a plan at that moment.

It's probably a good idea to remember that bad advice about suicide can cause death.
I tried them out, just from a functional standpoint of using them as ostensibly wireless earbuds? They do a really good job, I get the appeal behind them from a very utilitarian point of view. Just one person's own opinion.

Wouldn't ever own a pair though. I am absolutely awful at not losing earbuds, so I exclusively wear over ear phones now. Much harder to lose.
> People perhaps assume all audio is processed locally and/or isn't stored except ephemerally.

Is there info on this from Amazon? I'd assume they do what you mention, have the speech recognition in the Alexa and just send up the words, not the entire audio stream.

Interesting implication of that in this case: if the actual audio is gone and you just have the transcription, is that valid as evidence? Or is it something closer to hearsay
Mmm... I wonder if they improved repairability because they expect things to keep breaking...

This would be more convincing if it had a map of where the Franciscans set up shop. Does anyone know of one?

The article has a map of where the Jesuit missions were located, and they are in quite a small area, basically in a line about 300km long. So the variable "distance to closest Jesuit" is probably just distance from this region.

don’t know why you’re being downvoted. That device already has a ton of space to buffer updates.
Well, yeah. But we’re actually trying to optimize for some combination of quality of life, length of life, spending on death prevention. You can trivially optimize any one of those individually, but that would be ... bad.

But yes, in a sense, smoking bans are making an implicit assumption that the gain in quality of life is far outweighed by the shortening of it.
it's a lot worse than that imo. these people genuinely believe that they possess the roadmap for living The Good Life. once they realize how much better their way is than the one we freely choose, it becomes immoral not to bend us toward their way of life.

'Safe' AGI is a harder problem than 'any' AGI, so getting started early could be helpful. Especially considering how bad many of the AGIs in the 'any' category could be. Worst case, we don't get a mulligan.
Links posted are still real, maybe by same account to give impression of more activity. But it was to get real people. It's not like they were selling those fake eye balls to advertising.

This case is totally different and is fraud.

> This is superior to binary-search: no branches (except for the test when bitfield is 0), and all the comparisons are done in parallel

Branchless binary search isn't hard to implement if you know (or can bound) the number of elements statically. You just use the comparison result arithmetically instead of branching on it, and you unroll the loop.

Obviously a binary search can't do comparisons in parallel, though.
Former Multician here. Andre was super-smart, but it is perhaps also relevant that even the most junior developers (as I was then) had quiet private space to work with large desks. All design was done offline. Multics terminals were like type-writers (although video did show up near the end), hence no stream of popups. The environment both allowed for and demanded focus and concentration. This is no longer so.
same boat. holding onto my SE and 2012 mbp until something better, higher quality in the right form factor comes out of apple
It feels like Apple is caught in the classic "innovator's dilemma" described in Christensen's book. Constantly being pushed to higher margin products by competition which is focused on the low end market. The problem is, at some point, the "low-end" products become good enough, causing a sudden loss of sales.

The way out is to come up with entirely new products, which Apple has done remarkably well before. I think it's high time they do so again.

I think the drive to create high margin products is making Apple gravitate towards pushing out technologies that differentiate them from the rest, such as the touch bar, or these keyboards. But it may not actually be better.
You didn't say what country you're in.

If you're in England you can write an advance directive saying that detaining you under the act would be harmful, and you can work out who your "nearest relative" is and make sure they say to the AMHP "I object to the section". These don't make it impossible to hospitalise you, but they do make it much harder.

But, importantly, you deserve help. And you don't need to disclose suicidality. You can just say that you feel very low, that you feel desperate.

There's good evidence that cognitive behaviour therapy is effective for about 60% of the people who use it. You may want to think about combining it with medication.

It might be tautological, but it's probably necessary to say that the side that thinks that the people with no resources should be treated better, that side also has radically fewer resources. They usually spend their bodies, freedom, and lives; things that by definition all humans have some degree of.
>Since they glue everything together, getting a new J key also meant a new keyboard, touch bar, finger print reader, speakers, battery and touch pad. Which if there was no recall I can imagine would be a costly exercise.

I think this most illustrates not so much that components should be easier to service in and of themselves but rather that it should be Apple's problem universally, not just for a recall. On a product at this level standard legally required warranty should be more like 4-5 years. Apple (or anyone else) can themselves make the economic call on whether costlier repairs are offset by increased revenue due to feature advantages or other QA boosts, but they shouldn't be able to externalize the cost onto their customers and reap any rewards beyond egregious circumstances. The sticker price should include a reasonable expectation of fitness for purpose over a lifespan in line with the price at no extra cost.

Thanks - I’ve got that open in a tab already and was reading up on it. It’s nice to have a recommendation for it.
Mostly 240 volts though, not that useful in the US.

Unless you want to rewire your house for 240v... I have modified a 240v European cloth iron to run from a US dryer outlet, and it performs much better than the stock 110v device.

Ask HN: PCB Memory Chip Rework in the Bay Area
I have a small board with a defective memory chip. I can either send it back to Ukraine to the manufacturer and they will perform the chip swap, or have them send me the replacement chip and find a way to get the new chip on myself.

I've soldered many a motherboard capacitor to resurrect dead hardware and done many other (comparably easy) projects, but have no experience reflowing or reworking tiny 100+ pin millipede chips :)

Do you know anywhere here in the Bay Area who are able to do it and might be willing to help me with this one off?

The board is only worth around $200USD originally. The bigger concern is sending it to Ukraine and back will take many months, or cost more than it's worth.
Really interesting talk. Thank you for sharing.

In my opinion, the best bits were those which focused on the learnings and lessons of the experience. While the startup narrative was interesting, I would have loved to have gone deeper into the conclusions of Chris and the rest in retrospect.
I bet they exist somewhere but a quick survey of prepaid/budget services (Cricket, Straighttalk, USMobile, ...) shows that they all bundle unlimited calling with any plan that has data. All the major post paid carriers have been on unlimited calling plans for many years.

It's cloud based. The device recognizes the wake-word offline and starts streaming to the recognition service. You can access a log of recordings through the app, so they are kept at least for a while.
Do these clothes cut for men actually look flattering on the female form? If my wife wears a men’s sweater it looks fairly frumpy.

A really attractive person might still look good in an ill fitting piece, but they’d probably look even better in something that fit well.

i wouldn't be too sure; the people who support this measure seem to overlap with the people who also want to ban flavored ejuices.

in my view, this is an inevitable consequence of the shift towards socialized medicine. when every human body is a financial liability for the government, you can expect it to get a lot more interested in how you treat your body. good alignment of incentives for public health, but terrible for individual liberty.

You can tell by how there is pretty much zero mention of the fact that this is an industry wide practice which every single brokerage does the strong bias of this article. Except with other brokerages too by the way, they’re also charging you another $4.95 for their “services” they’ve provided.

Now just because payment for order flow is done by every brokerage doesn’t mean it’s necessarily okay to do in my opinion. I have some qualms about it, but the issues are complex. The market makers brokerages route their orders provide liquidity and stability that without their existence would result in a far more volatile market.

My favorite silk sleeveless t-shirts are actually sold as women's tops. They're less tight around the neck. And in the summer, I wear women's raw silk yoga pants, bought extra large, with the bottoms hemmed. It's hard to find men's pants like that.
Seriously!! I have to reboot my iPhone Xs about once a week because it completely fails to search for WiFi successfully ... the system preferences page for connecting to WiFi network just sits at an empty list of networks forever (and sometimes hangs the ui...)

I'm happy to give them the benefit of the doubt, and I think many colour pickers wanted to do the right thing.

HSL or HSV was a step up from RGB, so it made sense to use it to derive other colours quickly. Because if you're an underpaid freelance developer, the primary colour is usually set by the client, but they usually son't have a full colour scheme. Using a colour wheel based tool gave good enough results fast.

Not only are perceptual uniform models like CIE Lab*, and the derived CIELCh or CIEHLC mindbending to understand and code, but monitor colour gamuts sucked, and so it was overkill.

So is it scientific? If what you wanted was an easy way to derive a number of colours, sort of. If you need them to "look good", well that's art, not science. So ultimately, IDK what answer you're looking for. Colour wheels have always just been a nice way to visualise hue.
Any smart tv could be doing the same thing. Why do you think that Amazon in particular is likely to be conducting a massive, secret and illegal surveillance operation?
I’ve often wondered why it’s so socially taboo for men to wear anything that’s typically worn by women. As a guy, I wear a plain silver toe ring because I think it looks cool, but I get more than enough strange looks for that (more so on the east coast than the west coast).

The quote is from the film Cement Garden, and Charlotte Gainsborough is the one saying it. It was sampled by Madonna. I've thought about it before.

If a woman dislikes a boy who looks like a girl, it's not because she hates her own gender. It's simply because most women prefer a masculine man. She's likely going to give up a huge part of her life to have children, and wanting someone physically capable of protecting her (even of she doesn't need that much protecting) is important. Hence masculine is considered attractive and society values attractive people.

If you think this is just someone trying to defend traditional gender roles: I'm a guy who occasionally women's clothing, bakes, spends massive amounts of time in commercial dance classes, has done pole before, and looks great in booty shorts. I'm just being real. Straight women - the vast majority of them - find masculine men attractive and it's not because they hate women.
It is unsurprising that a structure designed for range queries loses out against hashes for random point look-ups.

Thanks for posting that addition and very nice link. It is completely unclear why authors in this field even attempt to compete with hash-tables for random point queries: Trees (whether comparison or radix) make only sense when using either range queries or when faced with a query distribution that prefers locality.

Something I'd like to see is benchmarks of batch-query performance: If we can queue a couple of queries, then trees should gain a lot from processing them in-order (then, the last query has already warmed the cache for the next; this probably can pay for approximately sorting the batch).

Many smart TVs have already been found to spy on you. Which answers your question.
I think humans can see a wider range of blues and greens than they can yellows and reds. Check out: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/CI...

I believe this chart roughly corresponds to the colors humans can perceive for different light combinations. I see greens/blues in most of the chart and the colors I consider to be red, orange, or yellow occupy very small regions of the image.

Since greens/blues have a wider range, maybe that's why designers tend to use them as the main color?
On the other hand: I can't go in and replace the SSD anymore on these devices, and it's highway damned robbery to charge me 200% markup [edit: it's actually just about 400% markup] on an SSD without any actual value add. It's not that people will happily pay for it; it's that they can get away with extorting it out of us because we are bought into the larger product and it won't work as well without these too-expensive upsells.
I imagine the reasoning is that if you can do it, some other app might be able to trigger it, and at that point, it's all downhill.
What does their business situation have anything to do with it?

If I hosted 10 billion dollars worth of unrelated business functionality, then told you to provide me with access for widespread surveillance purposes in an unrelated vertical of your business, you would think that is justifiable?

I beg your pardon, but what color is the sky where you are? Business doesn't work that way. Neither does ethics or morality.

Profit does not whitewash societal harm. It may create other business opportunities to remedy negative externalities, but there is no guarantee that the nature of the harm inflicted has a profitable capitalism compatible remediation.

This is one of those cases.

There are many, many grooming products available for men with socially acceptable use, yet that market is much smaller compared to women. Even if the social constraints were shattered, would it really move the needle?

Yes, good point, thanks. But this is not quite what I was intending to say. The character of Swift is not very C- or ObjC-like. C's philosophy is largely (to borrow from Python) "we are all consenting adults here": raw flexibility is the name of the game. ObjC's class system is famously late-binding and runtime-malleable, and it carries all the flexibility of C. These are things that Swift eschews.
Great news that Apple is finally admitting what's been common knowledge and the butt of many jokes in the Mac community.

Armed with this knowledge I'm going to wait till my company gets decent stock of the 2018 MB Airs then report my reproducible but not urgent issue on my current 2017 MBP.
Hacker News doesn't have a messaging system.
The article mentions attacks from clients sending slow requests, but what about clients reading the response very slowly?

And coming back to the topic of slow requests, what if an attacker tries a slow POST request, sending the first part of the request at a normal speed until it reach the size of the http-request-buffer, and then sending the rest very slowly? haproxy would let the request pass and the backend will be kept busy.

Voice and speech stuff isn't going to work in today's work environments. Can you imagine an open office full of people jabbering away to their computers? I guess voice printing will to some extent prevent other people "highjacking" your computer while trying to control theirs, but the noise would be extreme.

For certain industries - e.g. tech - people like quiet to concentrate. Not unique to tech of course... libraries are quiet too for the same reason. I cant imagine the average office where concentration is required benefiting from a call-centre-esque environment where everyone is talking out loud.

.. but I guess it might mean we can get away from open offices and back to private offices?! :-)
