Still too complicated. I saw a comic version once, working through an actual example with some example IDs and it used phrases like "sends to the hospital" or "asks the hospital" etc. instead of downloading from the cloud.

Very non-technical people are not familiar with the basic concepts involved.

"Makes up a new random name and broadcasts it to nearby phones" is something they'd struggle with if they never heard or thought about random number generators, don't understand Bluetooth etc.

Also don't underestimate learned helplessness. Many will stop reading if it looks technical because they "can't understand that sort of thing. " Many such people never ever read such lengthy step by step technical documentation. It seems to them as a quantum physics experimental setup description sounds to the average programmer.
So I guess Mapbox will be on a downward trend from now on?
Hmmm.

Very curious how you think ML without data is going to work. 10 minutes of research will neither give you a solution to that nor will it procure the data needed.

In the end, ground truth data is almost always going to originate from humans putting in man-hours to create it, one after the other. Whether those humans need to be ones that are paid ML Engineer salaries for this is an important business question, but someone will have to do the work.

If I remember correctly there was an internal effort at Microsoft to scrap the registry (Longhorn?) but they decided not to, and probably because a registry is actually a good idea and necessary to get something performant (compared to ini files).

The critique against the Windows registry stems from the Windows 95 days when the registry could become corrupt and repair or reinstall was necessary. However since then the registry works like a database, it has transaction logs and simultaneous writes are atomic. Registry is also strongly typed, not a bunch of strings. Registry can easily be backed up and restored.

Yeah, okay, buddy.
Probably because Longhorn tried to replace even more parts of Windows with a database-like system, and they'd have rolled the registry-equivalent into that, if it had succeeded.
I absolutely empathise, as a fellow survivor of a ridiculously expensive prison. I boarded from six until seventeen, when I finally finished and got the hell out of dodge. My sister, who attended the same secondary school as me, and had previously been at a coddled US private day school, was almost ruined by her experiences. Over a decade of therapy later, and she’s beginning to live.

Throughout, it was (often school-endorsed) tribal warfare and arbitrary justice at the hands of masters and prefects. Eat or be eaten. It churned out future politicians.

We had literal knife-fights in the dormitories. It was normal to drag someone out of bed at 3am and beat the shit out of them with doorknobs. My dorm-mates, aged 14, kept a friend of mine cocooned in duct tape, upside down in a wardrobe, for an entire school day. I found him that evening during prep, and took a cricket bat to the ringleader. The poor bastard got detention and satisfecit for jocking classes. I was suspended.

I once had septicaemia from an infected wound, and the matron’s response was to fling a mop at me as I lay on the kitchen floor in a puddle of pus and blood while telling me to “clean up your fucking mess”. I blacked out at that point, and the aforementioned friend saved my life by calling an ambulance - I awoke in hospital weeks later. She was actually, unbelievably, fired over the incident.

So much of my behaviour, two decades on, is still driven by my experiences there, and the same applies to those few of my cohort I’m in touch with or aware of the fates of. Constant paranoia that you’re going to be double-crossed or arbitrarily beaten, a complete lack of faith in institutions of any variety, and bitterness and contempt for those who did this to me (my parents, the bastards that ran the schools (some of whom are now gratifyingly in prison)).

They should be illegal.
> I believe the poor UI situation is holding windows back from gaining market share.

I'm having a hard time believing that. While some Mac users who are used to a more integrated user experience might be deterred, I'm not sure that the os's ui esthetics really affect windows adoption. My feeling is that most people who use Windows do so because they're either (a) told to use it or (b) they choose to use it because it's the shortest path to doing what they want to do.

I'm sure Microsoft know this and understand the tradeoffs very well

One clearly established specific reason for harmfulness of processed food is that it is more likely to contain microplastics and forever-chemicals, because the more you process food the more it is in contact with plastics and chemicals.

strace is a tool that would have identified the origin of the problem (a permission problem) without the need to grope. The small script to isolate the issue is a good strategy that has the additional benefit to help convincing other people of the issue.
I believe the poor UI situation is holding windows back from gaining market share.

I hope you jest. Windows has far bigger problems than the uniformity of their UI - there's the whole forced update thing, the whole "we really need to spy on literally everything you do on our OS" approach, online advertisement built and integrated with the OS (based on the spying) ... these are the major issues that they need to fixed urgently if they wish to retain their userbase. Windows has been a continuing shitshow since Windows 8 ...

Right. They can change things with the next silent update anyway. In Germany they also started requiring turning on the GPS while using it.

Because I was responding to multiple people. You are posting old articles. Why don't you try going to reddit or find new articles and you can see that it is still available.
For structure and content, start by copying stories you like. Take well-respected short stories, even fairytales, and think what make the stories interesting to you. Then work with these elements to build your own short stories.

For verbal delivery, go find some highly-rated audiobooks for kids, and pay attention to how are the narrators using their voice to tell the story. Then, same as with what I said above, take elements that you think work and that you like, and incorporate them into your own style.

Finally, you need to practice a lot, and try new things as you discover them. Once in a take, sit down and take notes on paper or in a file of what has worked and you should keep doing, and what hasn't worked and you want to improve or stop. Rinse and repeat.
This, along with the sometimes obscure behaviour of Time Machine is starting to make me think I should not be using Apple's backup solutions.

As great as much of their software is, their backup systems (both iCloud and Time Machine) are way too obscure, with so few controls as to be comical, and very little visibility of what they're doing.

The rare occasions where I've had to fall back and rely on an Apple backup, I've often found that it's not a "complete" backup in the truest sense. It almost feels like a "best estimate" of a backup. I've lost iOS app data in the past between devices (and in fact whole apps on occasion as they are not actually backed up at all - they are redownloaded from the App Store, which is not the same thing).

I've watched all the episodes of Aviation Disasters. The device missing from cockpits is the video recorder. Many investigations revolve around questions like what is the pilot looking at, what the instruments show, even who the heck is in the pilot's seat. Video can confirm switch settings and instrument readouts (the voice recorder is also used to confirm if the warning horns sounded properly).

Instead, a lot of effort goes into trying to reconstruct this.

Just put a dang video camera in the cockpit.

I've also, for decades, advocated a camera that records flight operations at an airport. Just stick a couple in the tower pointed at the runways. Note that in the Concorde disaster, there was no video of the take-off. They had to rely on eyewitness testimony, which is notoriously unreliable. The only video came later from some passenger in a car who happened to have a video cam at hand. That accidental video proved valuable. (It's a horrifying video.)

I was surprised at all the vitriol opposition to pointing a camera at the runways. People confidently told me it would cost millions of dollars, and was completely infeasible. Jeez, anyone could buy a security camera that recorded on a loop for a few hundred. Every convenience store had them.
There's no agreement on a definition, so many people refer to things like pre-cooked chicken as "processed", which is ridiculous.
Virtually every non-trivial Android application has these permissions, none of which are even important enough for the system to prompt you for permission. The only interesting one is "pair with Bluetooth devices" which is how the Exposure Notifications system works.
It's directly from the Reddit traffic page. I'm not sure how they categorize pageviews.
Regarding the Half Life vs Dead Space example; I was recently watching a streamer play HL2 for the first time, and that area where you first encounter the saw blades they totally missed the (subtle tutorial) idea. As a result they struggled with ammunition for quite a while.

It was only by accident quite a bit later on that they discovered it. Unfortunately that is the downside of soft tutorials, not everyone gets it, or they're distracted during that moment or they already have an idea of what they want to try, which causes them to ignore the hint.
Slightly odd article because it says the ultra-rich aren't breaking the law, but goes on to say the IRS needs a further $80billion in funding to enforce the law. Why would that be necessary if people aren't breaking it?
The right to freely interact with other consenting adults, which is variously described as the right to free association, and the right to contract, is a foundational principle of a free society, and we see various reflections of that in the legal rights found in many charters and bills of rights and constitutions.

Seems weird to write about fractals, seeing patterns and so on without a single mention of psychedelics. Anyone with any experience of psychedelics would tell you how our brains see everything differently while tripping, and seeing fractals or patterns is one of the most obvious one. Probably the brain works similarly while not tripping, but while tripping it becomes so much obvious and "in your face".
A teen I know was committed for anorexia. It's obligatory when you hit a certain body weight. Another teen there slit her wrists with something sharp she managed to pull out of a wall. She didn't do much damage to herself. The nurse patched her up and tied her to her bed, all the while degrading and abusing her verbally. Kids wrote a letter to the doctor in charge, complaining about the nurse, but the nurse was back at work soon after. The number of hours she gets was reduced, I believe. This is a public institution in a first world country. A caring and therapeutic mindset is just too much to ask of some people or places.
False dichotomies are knee jerk response to certain flavours of progressive ideas. It's like "we should not go to mars until we've cured poverty/loneliness/inequality/evil on earth." You'll usually find such comments on any space related thread. "Nobody talks about" is almost always untrue. Usually, it's followed by a cliche, something that someone inevitably talks about. Someone always questions whether progress is actually good, even if the progress is something like not dying from cancer.

I don't particularly subscribe to romantic notions of causes worth dying for, but you can still die for a cause if aging isn't a thing. I daresay cannon fodder will exist, in some form... and it will be romanticised in the same way.

Causes worth dedicating life to... that tends to be more useful than dying for causes. In that frame, you have more to give if you have more life.
Hi, can you guys look at the portal security? In some corporate accounts most people have limited access to do stuff, but it is all enabled; you spend a few minutes to create a new resource just to get an access error after you submit, when it should be disabled (displayed, but disabled) if you cannot do it, do the access check before not after. There are so many options we never know which one is enabled and which one is not.

Of the partners in this, I think that the source of authority waa almost certainly the other one. It’s not Google, but the State of Massachusetts, whose authority is likely involved.
I'm a MA resident and this app was on my (Android) phone...until a few minutes ago when I read about it on Hacker News, found it, and deleted it.

I have no memory of ever opting into the program you describe, and it isn't the type of thing I would normally do. It's possible I guess.

In any case, the way they did this is creepy. There was no icon for the app; I had to look in Settings/Apps & Notifications to find it. And neither the official state press releases nor the few local news stories about it mention that the app was installed without notice. They use vague, lawyerly language about how it can be "enabled".
No meow, I came to get a moody silence and unblinking stare translated, alas...

FAQ:

"we will reserve the individual right to refuse to work on any projects that conflict with a worker’s ethics"

Are these the same workers that are very happy with and encourage closed source proprietary software to sell for profit (as some developers from the company have written and posted previously to HN)?

Or maybe that's another group? Anyone know? Maybe there's some crossover?

At the very least one can say that "ethical source" licenses as implied in the FAQ are anti Free Software. But should be ok for proprietary software right?

There is no mention about open source or users freedoms in the website.

Yeah it throws you for a loop. I was initially playing with the teleport, but then changed to walking at the starting area where you circumnavigate the U shaped rooftop; after which you need to pull open a window/slider. Because I had just switched movement it threw me and I took extra long to find where to go next, even though it was extremely linear.

Holy shit. That was visceral. My heart breaks for those poor kids. Thanks for posting that.
I think it baffles me that there is enthusiasts that will defend either side as an absolute. I mean I get it, people tend to fall into tribal thinking. But sometime you have to take a step back and remember that these are just gadgets.

Personally, I run Android. It is an OS. It is ok. Not great not bad. I don't really care what other people run, I just hope it doesn't treat them to poorly.
This. I would forgive the inconsistencies if the new stuff was better. But it's worse. Its not a "meh I'm used to the old and hate change" situation.

It's a "holy shit fire the UX design and product manager leads in charge of this asap". The audio tab is another good example. It's so hard to do anything with the new one, you almost have to know how to get to the old UX to make any kind of change.
This is something like what it feels like being under 40 today.

But in all seriousness, I agree that being able to prevent aging and mortality likely would not lead to paradise. Probably access to this technology would not be distributed equitably, and we would see an elite few living forever, with mere mortals resigned to a disposable under-class.

For what it’s worth, I used to find the arguments that we should put the brightest minds on space exploration over eliminating suffering as concrete, but nowadays.. can’t say they those arguments seem as watertight.. saying that as someone whose hands have touched some of these projects.

Yes (and as you mention this is the right thing to do) but I think it means that the Linux kernel will bypass the page cache which is still useful.
I just went through the Exposure Notifications flow on Android, and selected a region where it's not currently available (Arkansas). It displayed a message saying it wasn't supported in my region, and left the setting disabled. While it's still possible that your theory is correct, I certainly don't think it's the intended flow as of now.
Good on them for sticking it out. I'm keeping Android 2.3 support in my game engine for as long as there's no need to remove it. (Dropped Android 1.6 three years ago). Its days are numbered, but I expect I will never drop Windows 95 (OSR2) support - it will always be a novelty OS people actually run for fun, unlike old Android.

I'm not sure I believe all these 0.0% usage stats for all mildly old versions. I lent my spare Android 2.2 phone to someone just a couple months ago.

Yep, it's an artistic tradition. A lot of traditional/medieval depictions of biblical stuff draw on greco-roman art.

Angels/Cherubim are depicted as winged babies in art, kind of like Cupid. The way they're described in text is totally different. Six wings and four faces, each of a different animal. Biblical angels and creatures were more like of Egyptian or Babylonian deities (eg sphinxes) than how we usually draw them. Scary mashups of different animals.
