The point here is not that we can’t find someone whose unusual usage pattern absolutely necessitates the range, or that we can’t think of occasional situations where it would be useful for the average person. What I want to challenge is the assumption that everyone needs a capability that most will infrequently avail themselves of.

Long range driving is actually pretty typical for business people in Germany, which is an important customer group because of company cars.

I walk to work (when not working from home) and only use my car for long trips to regional areas (visiting family and outdoor activities). I’d love to buy an EV but unfortunately current range limitations make them the perfect commuter car but an inferior weekend/holiday driver. I am excited by any company that wants to invest in increased range.
Proofreading is definitely hard, I've made tons of mistakes just on this site. The reason I bring it up is because it is more than a technicality and in the first bit of the article. I would also imagine that editors miss things all the time, but I really think that if one read this it would have been caught.

It's not a big problem, the meaning is still there, but it seems like a trend to me with online journalism at least, and I was wondering if others felt similarly or if I'm just being unfair.
There's an alarm clock on your mobile phone.
We do enforce NSFW filtering among platforms that provide a NSFW filtered option. E.g. youtube has such an option. It's quite challenging with reddit and social media sites. we have some indirect ways of blocking some of the social media content but in most cases. Users can also completely block "risky" apps.
Challenger, Columbia (safety culture at NASA really improved after Challenger huh), Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, Fukushima, recent FL condo collapse, my average five story Brooklyn apartment building's basement and roof after a thunderstorm, Boeing's long and growing list of recent fuckups... is some stuff that comes to mind off the top of my head. Makes you wonder how many close calls, less major incidents, cracks that are noticed and repaired in time, buildings that happen to be demolished twenty years before collapsing to make way for redevelopment, etc we don't even hear about, no?

What about you - anything to back up your claim?

Your second link mentions sellers avoiding liability by selling product (that can be inspected in stores) "as-is". It could be argued that open source falls in the same category. You have an opportunity to inspect it before using and if you don't like it or don't feel qualified to pass judgement, no one is forcing you to use it.
Is there a hype?

I'm a person who makes most of their money with blogging and I only heard bad things about Substack.
Any OS should be just tuned for performance
The redundancy part of mainframes is hardware. You can live swap a CPU, for example.

That's an aside though. The reason people keep buying them is software lock in, yes. There's a reason Amazon likes to push their proprietary services...they are the new mainframe.
I wonder if there's a startup opportunity there. In the coming years, this problem of deepfakes and lack of trust in media is only going to get worse. Crypto could mitigate this. Maybe a hardware company who sells very high end cameras for media outlets, that digitally signs and adds to a blockchain, all recorded media?
CLICKBAIT ! Throws the send us money right in your face !
It says specifically for maps rendering. Keep in mind the original Apple Watch had a 520 mhz single core processor and 256 MB of RAM shared with the OS and anything else running in the background. And pre-SwiftUI, 3rd party developers were working with WatchKit which was a lot more limited than what Apple was using internally.

Could that render a single map frame? Probably. But if this was an animated map showing the car location with zoom/pan to follow along, I can definitely see it making sense to offload to the phone.

What surprises me is that they needed a private entitlement for this, since you should be able to render a view out to an image without any entitlements [1]. Maybe that solution doesn't work offscreen? Or if the map was animated, maybe this can't play smoothly enough?

[1] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30696307/how-to-convert-...
Seems mostly reasonable to me.

“It was used for an old version of the Apple Watch app, specifically to run the heavy lifting of rendering maps on your phone & then send the rendering to the Watch app. This dependency was removed with previous improvements to Apple’s OS & our app. Therefore, we’re removing this API from our iOS codebase."
Your first point doesn't really seem valid when comparing manual to automatic autofill. When I manually autofill, my password manager will show a suggested list of matching passwords. off1ce.com would not suggest my Office password, so I would still be alerted to a phishing site.
I don't know why you would want to make time pressure a feature in your interview process. Normally it only happens because there's a fixed number of questions that people want to ask, but they're unprepared to allocate more an a hour to do so.

I fail to see how creating artificial time pressure makes your interview process better at finding good candidates. It results in an environment that isn't even vaguely like actual work conditions.
If I remember correctly, the "secret API call" was to the framebuffer. They were rendering the maps using the iPhones cpu/gpu, then pushing the rasters to the watch. The watch was not yet able to render the maps in realtime. Uber had to be able to create screens even in the background, so the API could have taken a snapshot of the active part of the screen buffer.
Reminds me the old anecdote,

In the days when Sussman was a novice Minsky once came to him as he sat
hacking at the PDP-6. "What are you doing?", asked Minsky. "I am
training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe." "Why is the
net wired randomly?", asked Minsky. "I do not want it to have any
preconceptions of how to play." Minsky shut his eyes. "Why do you
close your eyes?", Sussman asked his teacher. "So the room will be
empty." At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Not all things which are difficult to do are difficult because laws of physics do not allow them ;-)
They're marketed that way because big numbers sound good. Lead acid batteries are generally rated in Ah, even if it's just a small stand-by battery with 1.2 Ah.

On the other hand, ratings within a group of products are usually done without a prefix change. Perhaps because of defective sorting algorithms, which would e.g. place a 1.7 kV device at the end of the list, while putting a 1500 V device first. That's probably why you see e.g. 4700 µF instead of 4.7 mF as well, though sometimes the latter is used.

> If you want to pick a gripe why do we measure capacity in charge per unit of time times hour, rather than MJ?

They're equivalent, it's just that writing Wh makes it very clear that you can divide this figure by some discharge power and get the approximate discharge duration. OTOH, an EE likely knows [power W] * [time s] = [energy J] anyway.
I met someone a few years back who apparently worked in the field of ‘digital persona management’ which is basically an agent for actors’ likeness after they die. It sounded like families and estates were very interested in the concept as long dead actors could potentially become movie stars again in theory.
Simple != Worse.

Feature bloat is another reason software is miserable.
If the Census Bureau is to be believed, 80% of Americans live in an urban area (presumably that is talking about metro areas). https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/geography/guidance/g...
Well, they could contact a news outlet on the condition of anonymity & the news outlet satisfies themselves as to the validity of the footage.

Similar to how anonymous 'tip-off' stories with protected sources work in general at the moment — the media outlet put their own reputation on the line on the basis of the source & we trust (to a certain degree) reputable news outlets to validate & vet their sources correctly. This is true for stuff that's easily forgable at the moment, e.g. a whistle-blower releasing documents.
> “Since I closed down the Dish, my bloggy website, five years ago, after 15 years of daily blogging,” he wrote, “I have not missed the insane work hours that all but broke my health.”

> Somehow Sullivan has convinced himself that things will be different at Substack. Maybe he should have checked in with Patrice Peck, a journalist who publishes a Substack newsletter in relative obscurity called Coronavirus News for Black Folks. According to an article by Clio Chang in the Columbia Journalism Review, Peck has discovered that overwork and burnout are just as real for newsletter writers as they are for bloggers. (And why would we think otherwise?)

We might think otherwise, because if you have a newsletter you don't have to publish something all the time, because you don't rely on people checking your site. (Which they might stop doing if there isn't something new every time they check.)
One problem with shareware is:

trivial cost * many > non-trivial cost

Sure your program asks only a bit of money. But people use lots of free software which asks for a bit of money.

Some of it is not useful enough to warrant payment. But it has the same model.

How does someone execute a consistent approach? How do they treat everyone equally?

The simplest thing is not paying. Then there is no fretting over "should I pay?" No wondering "since I paid for A, should I pay for B?"

If you want money, require payment for download. Simple and tells you whether you are actually building something people will pay for. Requiring payment is a reliable form of feedback. Good luck.
The video of retinal activity [0] looks quite similar to what I often see when I am falling asleep.

That one was in the Don't section.
You should go plug in hybrid if you your 'normal' driving can be done in a 30 mile range. If most of your miles are on your property (and it isn't the size of a West Texas Ranch), you might could run a significant amount of miles on electrons and use gas for getting to town.
Laws are made by the government of the country in question and in this case the government, Israel, approved the sales and used them to its advantage.
You are setting up a strawman [1]. I reacted to the grandparent who stated:

Debian packaging has a nice feature too in that you can check the source used to build it, and any of the packages will be reproducible.

Which is demonstrably false, as the link in my comment shows.

[1] I never said that packages are not peer-reviewed.
I read that all mainframe components, even CPUs, were redundant and hot-swappable and that instructions are executed on two separate CPUs to detect faults and correct them on the fly. That would make a lot of sense if your application requires high availability and assurance but isn't designed for it. I haven't heard of any standard server hardware that can give you HA or such assurance with a single machine, probably because you would not build any application dependent on that these days. It's probably cheaper to do in software.
Intel 7nm should be equivalent to TSMC 5nm and should be launching some time soon (if not already). It didn't seem to bite off too much new stuff at one time like 10nm did, so I doubt it will see the same delays.

Intel's fab woes are starting to lessen. I have little doubt that they'll wind up leading the pack again in the next couple years. I hope that this time around there are more companies that can use those advanced fabs.
Yeah, we're working on an update reducing the content a bit.
I agree with that, and, while I can't put my finger on why, the new deepfake actually seems a little less real to me.
All the features I wanted and a 3.5mm headphone jack...
Yah. Well. The ATMs in Germany are often inacessible during the night. Because of vandalism, or something. So you have to search for one that is outside, and not in some closed self-service center. Even in large cities, or especially there, because potentially more vandalism.

edit: Or use some gas/fuel station, which would be the equivalent to 7-11, I guess. Which doesn't work with every station, btw. (I mean, getting cash.)
The important and scary part of this is:

> And come December 9, 2021, "computers with high-speed networking capability, multi-screen notebooks, notebooks with cyclical behavior, and monitors with high refresh rates" will be covered by the rules.

Will all PC gaming be illegal in California at the end of this year? What about video editing? How are all those movie studios going to make Tom Cruise's face look good?
> They write stories about events that are embarrassing or damaging to named individuals all the time (e.g. reporting on the police blotter), even though I'm sure all those people would have preferred their identities be kept secret.

Good point, but notably that info is literally in the public domain. Journalists aren't setting up sting operations to unmask Banksy, and if they did they'd get rightly criticized for it.

> Doxxing is entirely particular to the internet, because IRL people typically use their real names, and almost nobody hides behind pseudonymity.

You're really, really hung up on the fact that "doxxing" is medium specific, which is why I'm trying to move it to IRL activity. Honestly I think the fact that Metz can't respect the conventions/culture of the medium he's reporting on is another blow against his credability/employability.
It's not just you. I can't tell the difference either.

Maybe it's just something someone has to explain to us what to look for. It could be a curse to know why some people think the deepfake is better. I once talked to a graphics artist about why they thought some effect looked bad because I didn't see it. They explained it in detail. Now I can't unsee what they were talking about and can easily spot that mistake.

I don't know. Maybe it's better not knowing and enjoying the results or knowing and each time you see it thinking: "Hey, they made that mistake"
The problem is actually opposite. People won't believe anything because they assume that what they are seeing is a deep fake. It's happening already. If you see videos online of Trump / Biden / someone notable there's always someone claiming that it's a deep fake if they don't like what they see.
Yes, perhaps it is true, and it is obvious to build experts, but as a novice in this area (build systems), I would love for some more exposition.

Top comment right now points out that Matrix doesn't require copyright assignment, which means they have to get permission from every contributor or rewrite the code in order to relicense.
>> Can you please propose a "randomized, longitudinal, controlled trials" one might conduct to figure that out?

> This is not a herculean problem. It's essentially the definition of any halfway decent medical study:

You're running in circles. That's not a randomized control trial. You'll get biases since the set of people infected with COVID19 isn't random.

This is not much better than existing studies. They're not preregistered, but that's the only upside of your methodology.

> There have been multiple RCTs conducted during the pandemic, despite the bureaucratic inertia of the academy, and "long covid" is one of the biggest remaining controversies. There's no universe in which you couldn't get funding and approval for such a study in short order.

IRBs are set up to prevent subject harm. An RCT, in this case, would involve randomly infecting people with COVID19 to eliminate the bias above. That will never fly.
Hmm so then what about 99%? Is that also "not enough". How could you possibly know?
The X-Files did a goodish job alternating between standalone episodes and overarching plot. Roughly 2/3rds of episodes were standalone monster of the week episodes, while every third episode or so was about the conspiracy to help aliens colonize Earth. Also occasionally stuff in the standalone episodes had effects in later episodes (for example Scully's dog is from a person who died in a standalone episode)
And that's fine, keep your ICE car. The point is, you're not the majority. Look at google maps, it's millions of people in suburbs, two cars in the driveway, driving to the grocery store and to work is the majority of the reason they use it. They think they need range, but really, you could convert a lot of those two-car household into having 50% EV.
There is a lot more than 4 clients out there. For example I develop Nheko, which supports E2EE (including cross-signing) as well as 1:1 calls (those only on X11 though, because time and none seems to be interested in adding call support on other platforms). Then there are UX improvement forks like SchildiChat, clients for other platforms like SailifshOS, etc. Oh, and I almost forgot about Mirage.

We also pay a lovely winter range penalty.
How does it not allow progressive web apps? Or do you mean apps that are nothing more than shells around a website?
This is why these sorts of features should require explicit approval by the user before they become active.
Covid has become a media-driven panic disconnected from facts
It is interesting that the funding from them happened very early on, at the same time as the design of the protocol itself.

Now it is too late to rethink the design to be less of a honeypot. So the only solution is P2P matrix. But even P2P matrix will need some way to back up the metadata so it’s saved between sessions. So again the honeypot seems unavoidable.
The explanation is good, but that's a heck of a permission to allow. I hope Apple wisely took special precautions to make sure Uber wasn't using other functions that permission allows.
I think that's more common than people admit. Another good one is when people act as if it's impossible to raise kids with less than 1 bedroom and car per kid, as well as family trips every year and extracurricular lessons throughout their lives. Meanwhile oblivious to the fact that millions of families live in tiny apartments, have no extracurriculars or travel, and still end up fine.
I'd say only because there haven't been any good options yet.

I happily paid for Blendle as long as they had my best interest in mind (refundable) and only didn't pay more because there wasn't more relevant articles for me.

I'll happily pay for substack etc as well if there is something really interesting, but it either needs to be very interesting, small amounts or someone needs to come along with a real all-you-can-read-model like Spotify.

Ideally I want the option to pay pr piece, or pay a bit more for all todays posts from a channel (newspaper).
Great comment, really resonates with me. What's a good place to learn about Platform Engineering?
If you hid the cation, there's no way I could tell, either.
Why do you think that performance of an individual in a one hour interview is going to be representative of the average performance of the individual over a much longer period of time (months to years).

Just because someone can have high productivity for a short burst doesn't mean they can sustain it, or that they can even sustain moderate productivity over a long period of time.

It's a bit like concluding that a drag car is clearly the best car because it can cover 1km the quickest, and ignoring the fact that it would take hours for it cover 3km because its engine needs to be rebuilt every 1km.
Wild Pigs Release as Much Carbon Emissions as 1M Cars
This is where Apple's paternalistic view takes over. I think Apple's design view is that you the user shouldn't have to take action to protect yourself from sties abusing this feature, the Google view is that it's a free for all. There are merits to both approach and I wish users of both platforms would understand that.
Business Insider is the original source. Yahoo licenses the BI material and makes it available through their site. (With their own ads.)
Thanks to all the creepy adtech and malware on the net, webUSB/webBT would be a terrible thing to add to the browser.

I understand that it would enable many good things, but the world’s just too full of assholes to trust random web applications with such power. The amount of security exploits and spyware they would enable is just too great.

Putting them behind additional permission-prompts is not a solution. The amount of such prompts is already too high, and too many users can be tricked into saying yes.
And I would be one of them. I might live in an big apartment building in a city of over 10,000 but we do not have an airport. We do not have a costco. We have car dealers, but not the honda dealer I need for my recalled airbag (nearest is 400km away). And my particular urban area is not where my parents live. Urban or not, I still have to drive considerable distances for nearly everything.
It’s on the “Don’t” list.
Who wouldn’t want their data pinned? That is the expected behavior of a chat app today. So to provide a “first choice” experience, they will need to do so. So, how does P2P solve the metadata sponge problem?
A markup language for voice that tells the generator how to inflect everything. It's not on the horizon yet, but anything that our voice can do, a computer will do someday.
Go, Rust, Nim, and Dlang are the "exotic" languages. I can't really see the case for calling either Rust or Go exotic. I thought this was going to be an article about a new language some large threat group cooked up, but it's just a list of incidences where Go was used to rewrite some loader code/etc..
Isn't it exactly the same problem rather than opposite of it?
But only Uber (allegedly) had access to the private entitlement. So how did other apps do it, and why couldn't Uber?

That said, this is certainly a "special relationship" with big partners like Uber to get their apps working at Apple Watch launch in 2015[1].

That the access "wasn't removed already if it was no longer required", well... I think we can all understand legacy code.

[1] "It is likely that the Cupertino tech giant had to give this access after it gave app developers a four-month window to develop apps for its Watch before the unveiling of the product."
That hasn’t been my experience at all. I’ve found it both affordable and pretty hassle-free. I most recently rented a car a few weeks ago in Los Angeles.
Ask HN: How to start a local tech meetup?
I live somewhere with a pretty big tech sector and while working at my $BIG co for a while is pretty cool it's not really scratching that itch of doing something exciting.

Looking to join/make a group for people interested in projects with a little more "fuck it" involved.

Does anyone have more experience setting up or joining anything like that? (Groups that aren't professional networking, or some kind of career padding)
Kubernetes Maximalism
Feels a bit wrong to blame MikeUT for the post of some Atatürkian asshole.
You asked me what would "make a bigger difference" after I said that surely other initiatives could allow for ay least some gas powered cars.

It seems you already agree with this so why argue?
