> instead of making better phone than Nokia he would make something that no one at Nokia or anywhere else even dreamed of.

This oversells what Apple
did and undersells just how much Nokia dropped the ball. Nokia wasn’t blindsided by the iPhone or touch screen interfaces. They knew about touchscreen interfaces and actively chose not to persue it. “Because people want tactile keyboards” essentially they Listened to much to their own engineers who were in love with blackberries. While Apple mindlessly perused a vision that notably had already failed them once in the Newton, and which every business major would say was a suicide mission “because the iPhone will canibalice the iPod market”.

The reason Nokia failed was because management was just horribly bad. Not only did they have 500 different models of phones with every team competing internally, the were proud of it.

Apple went out with “we have one phone and one phone only” at that time. And Nokia engineers laughed them off saying “how the hell will they ever complete with us, they have just one phone!?”, and of cause they also laughed at the price point, saying that trying to sell expensive phones in North America was concept that was dead at birth. No, to them true market dominance was to sell cheap phones in India and China.

On the engineering side, that point in time was also when Nokia had extremely shitty software, again this wasn’t a mistake, they were proud of it. The N95 had like 4 different menu systems to reach the same screens. The iPhone didn’t do much before it had the web and apps, but it was simple, people intuitively understood it. But Nokia didn’t care. They didn’t even consider Apple a competitor even after iPhone started to gain popularity. They didn’t care about the high end market segment and only cared about Google as a competitor.
Considering that awk and TCL do not have the bug in question, while java, ruby, and node.js do, I'm not sure this can be framed in terms of modernity

> Yes, they entered the market around those years, but what does that change?

It means the hardware was purchased after it started to be discontinued.

It's hardly a reasonable take, and makes little sense, to complain how you can't upgrade hardware that was already being discontinued before you bought it.

> DDR3 and LGA1150 were not deemed "legacy" the day DDR4 and LGA1151 motherboards entered the market.

I googled for LGA1150 before I posted the message, and one of the first search results is a post on Linux tech tips dating way back to 2015 on whether LGA1150 was already dead.

And you purchased the Mobo one year after that.
Show HN: An app to quickly turn boring screenshots into beautiful images
I don't think modern passives, pcbs, screens, flexes, and small hardware was first made in the USA, especially not at scale. So that's most of the components that have never been made in the USA.
> io_uring relies on a pool of independent kernel threads performing operations on buffers (and other resources) provided by non-privileged userspace processes. While conceptually simple, it's a sharp departure from the standard userspace/kernel syscall and process model. It was inevitable that it would stumble over little nooks & crannies of the kernel that silently made risky assumptions dependent on the standard model.

The problem here has nothing to do with kernel threads reading user-space data asynchronously. The problem is that user-provided struct field in a system call could be interpreted as a kernel-space address and operated on, and one of the kernel functions missed a check for that overload.

> Does io_uring still have the trap that a ring context initialized before a process drops privileges with setuid can still dispatch operations on root-privileged kernel worker threads? That's a nasty problem, partly related to the fact that Linux has no process-global UID--every thread's UID (effective and saved, plus GID, supplementary GIDs, etc) has to be managed separately per thread, which requires herculean hacks in libc to provide POSIX setuid semantics, which except for very specialized, Linux-specific software (e.g. runc) is all that most people care about or even consider. IIRC there was a related issue when passing a ring context to a different process altogether, but it was already fixed or at least mitigated.

Those permissions semantics are by design, even in POSIX. A file’s associated permissions are determined at the time of creation, not at the time of access. It is expected that one can open a root-owned resource as root, drop privileges, and still access the resource. And if you think about it in the context of io_uring, there isn’t really any other sensible way to do it - there’s no way for the kernel to determine which task submitted an SQE because it’s just a write in a memory address space that may be shared by any number of tasks.
And to catch such a thing in C, if anyone was wondering, you would have to fflush stdout.
Hola hackers! I’m Rishi(https://twitter.com/thelifeofrishi) and I’ve been building Pika(https://pika.style), a screenshot beautifier app to quickly generate images for marketing, blog posts, social sharing and more.

Pika is a result of me spending too much time in designing screenshots in Figma, choosing the gradients, shadows, backgrounds etc. I thought I could quicken this process through a simple app.

With Pika, you can:

- add background gradient/images to your screenshot

- add browser frame/wrapper

- add rounded corners

- add overlay text

- add custom watermark

- control padding

How is Pika fast:

Whenever you change the settings, Pika saves those settings locally on your device. So when you come back again, Pika already has your last set of preferred settings and you won’t need to tweak much. On top of that, Pika has shortcuts: Ctrl/Cmd+V to paste image to canvas, Ctrl/Cmd+S to save output image and Ctrl/Cmd+C to copy output image. With these shortcuts and pre-saved settings, you can literally generate a beautiful screenshot in just 4 keystrokes.

Pika is absolutely free to use and requires no signup. There’s a Pro plan for those who want to customise screenshots even more. Pika is also an open-source app, code can be found here(https://github.com/rishimohan/pika).

Some stats:

- Pika has generated over 15000 screenshots in last month

- Pika already has $90 MRR and have been receiving lots of feature requests

- On Github, Pika has over 200 stars and 40 forks

Let me know what you think of Pika :)
This piece is all over the place. And i don't give the studies any value at all. Emotions cannot be measured as such, it's far more complex than that.

The underlying emotions caused by so-called venting is the thing which is interesting. Not the venting. It's a side effect of the real emotions underneath.

How you express your feelings towards yourself and others is what this is basically about.

Anger is most often a layer around grief or sorrow, so the anger-feeling is no more than a hint to that something else is going on deeper inside you[0].

Your response doesn't answer OP's question all it does is punt the issue to a news agency. If a news agency reports it on the basis of a "mission accomplished type photo op", does that count? Or does it require a news agency to report it on the basis of a "prolonged stable holding"?

Just saying that the prediction market shall resolve because three reputable news agencies report something is completely devoid of any insight into the nature of issue. It's as logically absurd as claiming that you have cancer because a Doctor told you that you have cancer, or claiming that you killed Jack because a jury delivered a guilty verdict. No, you don't have cancer because a Doctor said so and no you didn't kill Jack because of a jury's verdict; you have cancer because of an actual condition involving the rapid and abnormal cell growth and you killed Jack because you took a knife and stabbed him.

You are certainly justified to believe you have cancer because a Doctor told you so, and I am justified to believe you killed Jack because a jury said so, but a justification is not the same thing as an actual cause.

So going back to the original question: what is the criteria that determines that Kyiv has actually fallen to Russian forces as opposed to what is the justification for believing that Kyiv has fallen.
> If you want to test someone's ability to do the real work, then give them an obscure error code from a little-used utility and see how long it takes to find the fix.

This is actually a type of interview we're trying to support! A blocker right now is that once it's leaked, you basically have to throw the interview away. The good part about the "feature building" type interview questions is that it almost doesn't matter if the prompt + codebase is leaked, because your solution is probably still not optimal. "Good code" is super subjective and takes years of experience/learning to master, but an obscure bug fix shifts the end result to a boolean state, which is easy to leak (thus hard to detect plagiarism).
I find the comparison with a car a bit amusing, though I get your point. Usually, a car spends more than 95% of the time parked somewhere, whereas a smartphone or a computer are usually used for at least a few hours everyday. I’m not saying that cars are useless in comparison. It’s just that they’re not even near the same category on what they offer to the user.
Somewhat related, but you can also play CS 1.6 in your browser: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23497236

The site itself seems to currently down but I was using just a few weeks ago. I found that port pretty impressive because multiplayer also works and still had lots of active players! (though ctrl-w for crouch and move forward doesn't, so I can't say it was a seamless experience)
I would imagine local laws regarding warranties would also affect pricing. For example, in the US you get one year of warranty, and that's it. In some other countries, there are longer mandatory warranty periods for expensive items. Presumably part of the reason Apple products are more expensive in those countries is that they are on the hook for more warranty service.

Interestingly, this means Apple might not care that foreign tourists snap up Apple products when visiting the US. They might claim that those products don't qualify for the enhanced local warranty when the tourists return to their home countries. /speculation

Come to Turkey, here Apple prices are cheaper than Eggplant prices.
>a PhD from the Media Lab for putting a motion sensor and servo motor in a toy bear so it waved at you when a coworker wanted to talk to you

Part of the reason I declined a PhD scholarship back in my university days was that due to this kind of credential inflation, the value of a doctorate is steadily declining and there are far too few academic jobs to go around - most of the graduates I talked to were essentially forced out into industry, and if you're not specialising in something with real-world utility you've essentially wasted several years of your life while making yourself overqualified for lower-level jobs.
Given the amount of people using Apple desktop gear across the planet and beige box towers, I beg to differ.
>It's pretty amazing that in 2022 there isn't anything for creating Windows GUI desktop apps that matches your description: easily create a GUI and attach scripts and events to its controls?

Windows Forms is still there, has been for 20+ years. It's easy to use, fast to put a complex app together, and intuitive. Here's a reasonably complex app I built with WinForms a few years ago:

I agree it's a bad metric if you have a better option, but in this example you don't.
And the mindset can be to treat such conditions as "Don't Care" to allow the C/C++ code to generate more optimized assembly.
> what made a former president's boasting about raising tariffs somewhat absurd

Wow, how does a president think this?
> Seems strange that this requires java.

A lot of deployed deep learning is in Python so I doubt this will matter. Looking at the docs, it looks like the main speech to text is python heavy, it leverages elasticsearch and calls libraries that are bindings to code written in C++. As none of that overhead will ultimately matter for anything approaching the fidelity you get with cloud services, cost benefit trade off favors Java in this scenario.

> lower profile computers

When it comes to deep learning, this just isn't the direction things are headed. If you want the best results with low latency, your home server is going to have to be fairly beefy with a decent GPU and lots of memory.
The keyword being offer, as long as they don't have to pay for it.
Even Golang de facto suffers from this. I don't think I can name a time I saw someone check the return value of fmt.Print or log.Print. Not checking the return value still seems the the "right" thing to do.
And Apple Transit / Transport. If you have your FaceID unlock failure multiple time, ( You are not looking at the screen or mask ), the Transit wont work at all. You have to be up at the gate and do FaceID authentication.
To be fair, the annexation of Tibet happened at a time where China was irrelevant on the world stage having come out of WW2 and a civil war almost completely ruined. Tibet wasn't recognised internationally as a country at the time because of the KMT claims to it. That's not to say that the CCP's invasion, annexation and suppression should have happened or was moral in any way, but Ukraine today has much more political clout and meaning than Tibet had 70 years ago, because attitudes and the capabilities of the countries involved today were different then than they are now.
That site, shows the prices (in Thailand and elsewhere) by default with tax refunds. I presume that to be the tax refunds for short term travelers in that country who buy things there, and not applicable to ordering online from there and getting it shipped. AFAIK, a few countries (including countries like Australia and Canada) have such tax refunds above a specific amount of spending for some specific categories of spending.
I would say search for the task at hand you are finding hard to do. There would be a similar problem somewhere. Look at the code and try to apply it to your own problem by modifying it to fit your task. Reading docs are okay but they won't teach you to solve the task at hand. This from my experience.
how does the targeting for creatives hinder the machines usage for programming? macs are among the best computers for coding and data science. huh?
I used to have a boss who’d ask me to rate my company satisfaction with the company 1-10 at every 1:1. This always struck me as one of the laziest/misguided management moves I’ve encountered, and I’m sure he felt it was both accurate and clever. If you manage people, and don’t understand that basic power dynamics will always trump encouragements for “openness”, you are naive at best and willfully blind at worst.
ZigBee is the contemporary standard du jour for this stuff. Wifi is fine for some things but doesn't offer the same benefits (e.g. implicit mesh network of devices)

The teeth come from the laws, though. If you've submitted an opt-out request in compliance with the law, and your data reappears, the vendor now has a problem with the government. Problems with the government are super bad for your business. They have many more resources than the average individual.

I think that these laws don't have much effect when you require individuals to fill out (literally) 200 forms once a year. But software is great at filling out 200 forms once a year. It's the "missing link" for this kind of law; turning the legislature's intent into a regulation that means something.

I rarely see things that are really exciting to me on HN and that I can immediately start using. For whatever reason, this piqued my interest.
FH does not seem all that well understood. It runs in my spouse's family, multiple clinical/genetic diagnoses, but no history of cardiovascular disease. Doctors haven't been convinced whether intervening with statins is necessarily justified, especially in the face of any side effects.

My family on the other hand, generally normal bloodwork, normal BMI/fitness levels, and everyone dies of heart disease fairly young. At least it's one way to avoid cancer.
fwiw that bothers me too. i don't know why bank websites suck so hard.

Maybe worth mentioning tangentially related WTH of JS syntax: that there are two additional line breaks besides CR and LF: line separator (\u2028) and paragraph separator (\u2029).

Some editors and text viewers render them as zero width spaces, so you can see something that seems like innocent line comment but what is actually executed:

data:text/html;charset=utf-8,<script>//%E2%80%A9alert(1)</script>

view-source of that document displays just `<script>//alert(1)</script>` in Firefox. In Chrome there is "P SEP" in dashed rectangle between `//` and `alert`, so you at least get a hint there is something fishy.
> They make sense for advertising and misinformation purposes.

At that point its just standard propaganda. People have been doing that since roman times.
Yes, the tradeoff won't chosen.
Sorry I might come across as harsh, but you indicate this is a 'defect', at the same time your comment makes clear that this is a known issue and you choose to keep it that way.

You can't have it both ways - either admit its intentional or change if you know its deceptive.

The whole thread here convinces me that this is neither a product that should exist, nor does this startup have the users' interests in mind.

It’s not that it looks useless. It’s sure looks pretty cool to be able to switch on the light with the sound of my voice.

But the privacy cost is extremely huge for something that isn’t that much revolutionary. I’ll just keep pressing the button. That’s less cool, I admit that and I’m even somewhat jealous. But I’m never going to allow Amazon (or any company) listen to me constant just not to press a button.

I respect and have no issue with your choice but it feels wrong justifying the utility without mentioning the drawbacks.
Apparently Hawking coined this term in 2010. Robert Anton Wilson coined a similar term, "Model Agnosticism", all the way back in 1977 in his book Cosmic Trigger:

"The Copenhagen Interpretation is sometimes called "model agnosticism" and holds that any grid we use to organize our experience of the world is a model of the world and should not be confused with the world itself. Alfred Korzybski, the semanticist, tried to popularize this outside physics with the slogan, "The map is not the territory." Alan Watts, a talented exegete of Oriental philosophy, restated it more vividly as "The menu is not the meal."
Well, Apple claims that this little box will stay "whisper quiet" anyways.

Also, I'm pretty excited to replace my big tower with this thing and finally get my computers off the floor.
Yes. First you learn to 'code stuff' and as your experience progresses in that language you merely learn more and more of the ways it can be wrong, and then you worry more, and have to overthink every little thing.

The hidden costs are enormous and to this day still not very well accounted for.
My suggestion to both is to do a clean install of iOS with a computer backup. As iCloud restore doesn't seems to do the trick and sometimes causes even more problem.

Make 100% sure you have multiple backup though because backup corruption is still a thing forever reason. Apple just haven't bothered to fix it.
Right, that's why they gave away their work for free for decades?
I know you really want to point out how the main purpose of this is polling (training), but you had to make the claim that we are just accustomed to seeing "deepfakes". So I'm gonna tell you why that's not the case.

This is maybe the 3rd time in my life I looked at any of the recent AI generated stuff since the breakthrough in the 2010s and they were all obvious. I got 6/6 correct on my first try. Like maybe if I never saw any normal video of any sort (NTSC, HD, LCD, CRT, mpeg) in my life then I wouldn't be able to tell, because I would have no conception of what the other 500 glitches caused by common video techniques are and if this is one of them as opposed to an edit. The first nimrod's face is wobbling and glasses are 2D and move in a different direction from his face. This is what I noticed in the first fraction of a second after opening the website, before even figuring out if this is what the test is or not.

This is literally like the 90s when people were like "WOAHHH these 3D effects are so real", and doom, etc. I really hope this isn't the state of the art people keep telling me about. It wouldn't surprise me though, as all modern politics are based on make believe concepts.

There's also the fact that this stuff is ultra low resolution, and at higher resolutions, mistakes will be even more obvious.

My #1 best recommendation for those starting out is to always tell your direct reports that this is their time and you guys can talk about whatever is on your mind. Like the article says, make sure you verbalize this is not a status update meeting. What's obvious to you is not obvious to them.

If you guys run out of topics to chop up, I also recommend asking for advice from your direct report about any subject that's on your mind. It builds rapport.

It looks to me like the OP wants a personal assistant in a form factor. A flexible CRUD app with voice commands assisting you with finances, correspondence, legal affairs, scheduling, reminders.

It's much more difficult than home automation, but I think this is the direction we're heading into. The incentives are there, because access to such data is valuable.
