This seems like a solved problem as well. Don't people use focus groups anymore? Or have an open feedback forum where people can submit feedback and use user ratings to see which issues are the most important to the most users.

Many companies already do have forums like this and they're filled with UI complaints having sometimes thousands of upvotes, but it's all for nothing because almost none of them actually use that feedback.

My bet is still on "UI design isn't a full-time job, it's project work, so UI designers have to keep moving things around to stay relevant in one company". As much as I don't like outsourcing, having a bunch of designers on your payroll with nothing to do most days but still needing to pass all the employee rating crap is bound to result in an unstable and never good enough UI.

I disagree. I think it was hard to know that many years ago (10+?) how things would turn out.

Especially not "entirely foreseeable."

I skimmed through the pdf in less than 10 minutes, but from what it seems, it is pointing out how vulnerable binaries compiled to WebAssembly are still vulnerable to exploitation. Well, duh. What WebAssembly protects is the host machine, not the binary running inside the VM. None of these are attacks on the VM itself.

I can understand you being good at the game and not finding its AI challenging, but I'm surprised you don't find SC2's AI standout. Compare it to, say, SC1's AI. Or, other games I know well, like, AoE II, Zero-K, Men of War, Combat Mission. It's a qualitative difference for me.

The author should look at himself and realize that he's part of the problem.

The source of America's rage is that people give up compromise and demonize the other side. Both parties attack the other sides' dumbest, most stubbornly-held arguments, which is like yelling at a wall. Worse, they attack the other sides' person, which is like yelling at a wall while pouring concrete over it.

Instead, we need to experience and understand the life and culture of the other side as best we can. We need to find and acknowledge our own dumb arguments. And I personally think that we need to compromise, even though it seems ineffective. Because that's the best we can do: unless you intend to steam-roll them (but good luck over-powering 40% of the population), the only way we can change the other side is through compromise.

(Incoming rant)

Look, some Republicans have some terrible arguments: election fraud claims, vaccine resistance (I'll say it: you shouldn't be scared of the vaccine unless you're also scared of the virus and isolating yourself anyways), sometimes even racism and anti-LGBTQ.

But that doesn't mean these Republicans are a lost cause. You have to understand why they hold such insane beliefs. These people live in a different culture, where all their friends and family share the false belief, and the media is biased. So they initially support the false belief. Then, they hear Democrats attacking them for said belief, and attacking their person. They attach their self-worth to the belief. And once they attach their self-worth, now if they accept that the belief is wrong they accept that they're "wrong", they're dumb, and they're inferior. And people don't accept that they're inferior.

So I believe, we need to get Republicans to de-attach themselves to their false beliefs. We need to emphasize the fact that everyone is wrong sometimes, and if you can accept when you're wrong it makes you a better person. And we need to support arguments that they can agree on. Like maybe emphasizing how promoting "black" culture does not mean we have to get rid of Southern "white" culture.

---

I used Republicans in the above example because that was who the author was targeting. But I could say similar things about Democrats. It's an issue both parties face.
As a quest user I have to object. Even though it is very good on first impression, the pure hand tracking gets very annoying very quickly when trying to use it as it still misinterprets too often.

Eye tracking will be the future of "lazy" UI, but this is a hard one. Also, distincting actions, e.g. clicks or scrolls is non trivial

Nope.

Ask HN: Aristotle's “Poetics” and his lost “Comedy”
I was introduced to Aristotle's 'Poetics' in college and it transformed the trajectory of my life. The Poetics, as you may or may not know, is the foundation for nearly every western-oriented tragedy: novels, plays, films, etc. dating back centuries. It's THE text upon which western drama is founded in so many respects (though not all).

However, I was also told Aristotle also wrote/dictated a (now lost to us) rendition of "Comedy." And for the better part of a decade I've been trying to do two things:
- Take modern comedy and dilute it toward logical precepts which could be echoed/reverse engineered to represent what Aristotle may have conceived for that lost treatise
- Find some sliver of Aristotle's lost "Comedy"

I realize this isn't the typical fair for YC, but I've asked this question over the years to so many people, across multiple forums, and in person or emails to professors of Greek lit, and I'm as lost as I was when I first learned the "Comedy" was lost...

If you have any books you can recommend, people to contact/interview, or just general context on this issue I'd be grateful to hear them.

Thank you
One ridiculous example is Revolut.

LG Energy Solution to Host International 'Battery Innovation Contestm'
Thank you! This is a really important observation about anything controversial „child“ related. Be it abortion or abuse you can tell what people‘s real priorities are by looking at how much they are willing to spend on the welfare of kids outside their immediate point of concern.

All of these types of problems are likely better solved in some other ways. Why not have general mental health coaching in schools freely available to increase the chance of early detection of abusive behaviors? Why not improve the financial situation of parents so that the child is not perceived to be another burden in a brutal life? Why not offer low-friction free mental health coaching to all individuals?

The way the world is organized now is ABSURD to the highest degrees! We pretend to care about a thing but only look at issues narrowly without considering the big picture.

In the end, politics and the way power is distributed is broken. There are too many entrenched interests looking out for their narrow self-interest. There seems to be not enough vision to unite enough power for substantial change. Even the SDGs don‘t seem to inspire the developed nations as something to mobilize for. We need the fervor of war efforts for positive change.

Doing the right thing and doing things right needs to become the very essence of what we as individuals stand for. Not consuming goods or furthering the idealogical agenda of a select few. Each and every one of us should look into themselves and look into the world and work to build a monument of this collective existence. We were here. Let us explain to all following us how we tried our best to do the right things in the right way and where we fell short of our ambitions and hope that others might improve upon our work.

Sorry, I think this turned into a rant but it comes from the heart.

One or two news reports of local councils maybe using CCTV, doesn’t back up your claim.

The UK doesn’t have a super camera system used for minor crimes like you insinuate.

The high camera counts in the UK come from including private CCTV cameras in the data which privately owned and are not linked together, hence the government is not using a network of cameras to monitor dog poo clean up as you claim.

Well, I think it's awesome but the modern world should look away, those wanting to break from current conventions would want to use Xojo here in 2021.

As far as Hackernews...skimming through the site (found this PDP11 post near the end of page 2 on a Sunday evening with 15 comments) and was lamenting at all of the nearly irrelevant political/social crud (like almost 400 comments about Apple using edge-AI to scan photos on your device instead of on their servers after you already allowed them to use their servers if they wanted to). Nothing (or not much that I've found yet) about what we need to be doing to respond to the multi-YEAR chip shortage (besides scream "omg we're all going to die"), such as what it will do to the price of AWS/Azure workloads (perhaps mitigated by shifting our AI photo analysis to the edge without telling people the real reason why? LOL), quick migration to still available chips like ESP S2 from the way cooler microcontrollers, particularly issues with bread n buttah 40nm components on 200mm wafers (for da COBOL, JavaScript and Python billionaires: those are older chips and they make up most of the market)..and what all this means for the industry's traditional 4 year cycle. I think people using PDP-11 components will be safe, as long as they keep up the never ending battle against static electricity and solar flares :)
Hydroxychloroquine was first approved for use in the US in 1955. https://c19hcq.com/ is a list of several hundred papers relating to its use for Covid-19 patients. I guess that according to Facebook, any positive effects therein recorded are merely 'misinformation'. This would be funny if it weren't so tragic and scandalous. If you had put this in a novel published in an earlier era, no one would believe it.
What is really sad about Spotify is where it comes from.

The original player (in QT, iirc) was incredibly good : light (some mb of RAM), fast, zero bloat, well crafted UI.

I signed up for Spotify because it was an incredible product, but I stay because I’m forced to (shared family account and nothing really better in terms of bloating).

Sometimes those stories makes me wonder that the golden age of « life changing » software is behind us (I’d say exactly the same thing with Dropbox).

Have people here read "Game of Mates" by Cameron Murray and Paul Frijters? I found it hugely illuminating and I really felt like it described mechanisms, and identified dynamics, which I had been aware of but only vaguely able to articulate.

Of course the obvious question, is what can concerned citizens do?
Your position is valid, but in reality that’s exactly what is used to game the rules. I got banned or post deleted. Why is their blog link not banned then? Why that low quality post is still there then? See, I can game the rules but I can’t game the community. They just “don’t want it”, no matter how hard “it” is to define. It’s their place, mods have limited time, and if some phenomenon becomes too common, blanket rules are inevitable.

What is the ethical way to self-promote?

Exactly what you propose. But if they ask you to stop even that, you should. If they don’t have enough to judge case by case with hundreds of cases, you have to understand that and agree.

By using “I” and “you” above I mean example person, not one of us.

Another thing that you assume, which is not exactly correct imo, is what slut-shaming is. We may agree that explicit directed pointing-out and shaming is bad, because it attacks a person. But we can’t blame internal “don’t want it here” feelings, even if that is based on OF link. Shaming is a direct action, not location-based attitude. The same person may not want it in a linux-related group, but may visit a link and subscribe in OF-related one. E.g. I like strippers in my local stripclub and have good relationships with few of them, but I wouldn’t want them advertise it at my nephew’s birthday party or sysop meetings.

This is such a pathetic interpretation. All flagging systems (which is how moderation work - facebook does not manually review every photo posted) alert the company that there may be a problem.

This lawyer is an absolute idiot.

How about we ask the actual folks involved in this (NCMEC) what they think about apples "felonies". Maybe they have some experts?

Oh wait, the folks actually dealing with this, the people who have to handle all this crap - are writing letters THANKING apple for helping reduce the spread of this crap.

So - we have a big company like Apple (with a ton of folks looking at this sort of thing). We have the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children looking at this. And we are being told - by some guy who will not even name the attorney and law firm reaching this opinion, that apple is committing child porn felonies.

Does no one see how making these types of horribly supported explosive claims just trashes discourse? Apple are child pornographers! So and so is horrible for X.

Can folks dial it back a TINY bit - or is the outrage factory the only thing running these days?
If they file even one false claim, then it ruins lives.

That's only true if you want to display information relative to the world. If you only want to display information relative to the user then you don't need those things. Eg displaying map directions that align with world objects requires world-pinning. Displaying notifications that are relative to the user regardless of where they're looking doesn't.

There's a strong argument in favour of 'version 0' of a HUD product being a simple dumb overlay with no fancy stuff, simply to get a high resolution HUD product working. Other sensor inputs could be added later.

This isn't true.

> The obvious explanation would doping.

Zelezy was a freak - as can be seen by his progression[3].

That kind of long-lived high performance (82m in 1986, 86m in 2006) is rarely because of doping - there are too many chances to get caught, and it's too hard to transition between doping types (eg steroids to HGH), and historical testing catches out too many people.

The Men's discuss OTOH... This is what a suspicious progression looks like[4].

It does that on the device. All it takes is enabling it by default, instead of triggering the scan prior to upload, and add more hashes to flag. The result would be a total loss of privacy, basically Apple is privatising mass surveillance with that. Without oversight, no matter how small, or accountability.

> Mac OS X is now older than Mac OS “Classic” was when OS X was first released.

OS X is only a few years younger that Classic Mac OS (given it's basically an overhauled version of NeXTSTEP).

And while I'm sure it's a nightmare to maintain, I don't think it would be any easier if it were "younger." Modern operating systems are fundamentally very complicated pieces of software, and if one where cut down to be easy to maintain (which would include ditching backwards compatibility when it became mildly inconvenient), no one would want to use it.
Wow, that's amazing
