To be honest, 1.5k is a pretty decent budget for any non-gaming laptop. It's definitely a red flag to start at a company and get a bargain bin laptop, but giving out 5k laptops to every new hire is probably just being wasteful with about 3.5k. Chairs & desks are where penny pinching is an even more dreadful flaw.

If you expect someone to sit for 8 hours a day give them a good chair lest they start having back issues after two months of employment.
This is a bias in what you notice, not what people care about. Some people care strongly about headphone jacks, but until you have data indicating that some==most, you shouldn't let that feeling turn into a population-based argument.
PinePhone is the only phone I know of with a keyboard. It has lots of other issues that you might not be able to accept, but it is an option.
I've heard that comment too. Let me ask in return: why use that a decision-maker over or instead of anything else? Honest question!
> Also a phone that doesn't mind being dropped in water, so no headphone jack please.

People have somehow managed to forget this, but phones have been waterproof since ... basically forever without forgoing a headphone jack. I could link probably half the phones made between 2012-2017, but this phone is actually linked by the site itself: https://www.theverge.com/2015/10/16/9549247/sony-xperia-z5-r...

Honestly, I'm not sure what the issue is supposed to be here. I've literally never, in 12 years of owning a smartphone, dropped it in water. I have no clue how that's even supposed to happen short of it falling into a river.

Since this is a small phone, I suspect most people will probably not be using a case that adds significantly to the size. Just a guess on my part though. I can live with a camera bump if I have to, I just think a lot of us miss the candy bar designs of ~2014-2015.
It's not just about terrain and the original version is seeded with a prototype image that the algorithm learns a pattern from that it then replicates with variations.

It's not described that way but it is a one-shot pattern learning algorithm that is much more interesting than just a procedural generation algorithm, or even a constraint solver as others have said.

See the link to the creator of the original version given by platz in the sister comment. There's more going on than just "procedural terrain generation".
One important thing to note here is that this model was trained purely in a supervised fashion.
It would be interesting to see a paper at a similar scale that's based on reinforcement learning.
The reinforcement learning context (specifically the exploring part) gives a lot more opportunities to see the effects of positive/negative transfer.
That approach would of course be much more expensive, though.
Netherlands: Gas boiler to be phased-out by 2026, heat pump to become standard
I'd love a small Android phone, with one caveat: A built-in stylus. I'm stuck with the huge Samsung Note series, or the Samsung S22 which is no smaller.

I've used external stylii and my fingers too, but absolutely nothing comes close to the experience of just sliding out the stylus which is always there and using it.
Ok you buy the thing and see if it's practical for your lifestyle and let me know how that goes for you. At no point in the last 30 years did we not have the technology to build this device, nor is it a novel concept. Look around and see how popular they are, and wonder why.

> a phone the size of the Nexus 5X or preferably smaller

...so, a current flagship? Samsung's Galaxy S22 is smaller than both the Moto X4 and Nexus 5X.

Size comparison: https://www.phonearena.com/phones/size/Google-Nexus-5X,Motor...

In general, phone sizes have stayed roughly constant since the Nexus 5X, though the displays are getting bigger as the bezels get smaller.
Yes, embedding any kind of store can work. For example, here is an in-memory KV store embedded in Raft:

There are a ton of guides online, especially since the pandemic started. Getting a USB microphone is so easy and cheap that you probably don't need a guide for it. The guides that I've seen for USB mics are generally focused on the features that streamers need, which are somewhat unique (they want to capture desktop audio at the same time).

If you are going for the prosumer option, I recommend Scarlett Solo + Shure SM58 + XLR cable + mic stand. This may be a bit overkill for meetings, but it's a good starting point if you want to record music, stream, record a podcast, etc.

As I understand the blog post, the difficult (and buggy) part is not the addition of latency, but calculating how much latency to add and where to add it. I'm not sure how tc would help much here, and actually don't see anything to indicate they weren't using tc already.

This is exemplary of the problem of open source, and human politics. And why people still mostly like working in authoritarian organisations where one person usually cannot do this (unless they are the autocract)

Honestly I do not understand the problem - I have read the thread and understand people are upset, but really summoning up the wisdom of Solomon to fix the politics here is beyond me, and probably most of us. I expect people will fork something. Democracy will mostly win out. SEO not withstanding.

per person. In absolute terms (the only terms that matter to the environment), it is by far the largest. Every time the population has grown so far, our impact on the environment has increased. But for some reason, you think this time will be different?
I suspect the end result would be similar to why me and my two siblings had to be put on formula - malnutrition. Goat milk simply is not going to have all the elements that a human baby needs, so I'd consider it somewhere closer to "last resort" rather than "oh well, not enough formula, let's grab goat milk". Doable, but only because it's emergency.
I have a couple questions, from the point of view as an outsider, I see there being three big problems with economics at least the way it is popularly understood:

1) many of the assumptions in economics are culturally specific

2) many of the models in economics, while self consistent and plausible, have not been adequately tested with real world data

3) economic models don’t seem to take constraints into account leading to absurd results like infinite growth

Within the field, are any of those three seen as important problems? Thank you
Giving some group an advantage through a law will worsen its position in other areas of life.

And destroyed the first submarine that tested them! Russian, the typical failure of a new torpedo is guidance, which often results in the device describing a circular route instead of a straight one. Ending up back where it started. So they fired, and before you could say Jack Robinson it hit them, having traveled in a circle of a mile or so.

Or so I recall from reports after the fact.
I'm not sure why you're asking me, but the OP's site says that 5% of iPhone orders (10 million phones a year) are the mini. That's quite a large market in absolute terms.
See post above re: manufacturers.

I think this is at least partially a feedback loop issue. There aren't manufacturers even making small screens, and the time/cost of doing that isn't seen as worth investing in... because... look at what's selling - larger screens! - which are the only thing we're selling because... look at what's selling!

A small niche player that wants to try a different form factor/size isn't practically able to enter the market with anything but commodity screens.
One of their mottos was, "Building a machine that will be proud of us."
Bigger houses and more (sometimes mandatory) parking also means everything is further apart and making cars more needed even when going between stores.

> > people who need phones will still buy something even if reluctantly

> I'll be blunt: no I won't.

Agreed. I used my 2005 Motorola Razr until 2020 because I have zero interest in an inconveniently large phone. When the Palm Phone came out I got it as a perfectly-sized replacement.

I won't ever go to a larger phone because if it doesn't fit my pocket, what's the point? Might as well not have one.
I read that section as comparing what they logged before vs what the player experiences: the time taken for an input to be registered and it's effect communicated to the user. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think the intention was a precise description of the error, but rather the hazard of not having logs which reflect what the user experiences.
The mini is inferior in some specs to other iPhones

I’m typing this on my iPhone 13 mini; saying it’s inferior to the rest of the iPhone 13 is an overstatement.

All of the core features are the same as they rest of the line.

Ironically it’s the largest iPhone I’ve owned, having upgraded from an iPhone 7 and a 6s before that.

There probably won’t be iPhone 14 mini, so I’m glad I was able to get this form factor before I had no choice.
No, we are actually using fewer people and less land in total for farming than at any time in history.

Well, not "in history", but certainly in the last 2000 years.
I am typing this from a waterproof phone with a USB C port and headphone jack. Yes, I have put it underwater. There were plenty of waterproof phones with headphone jacks before flagships dropped the port.
If the window is as large as 500ms then anyone can hit that most of the time, provided they have a good enough clock and decent network.

Actually, yes, understanding the tty in detail seems to become a dark art.

However it's the best way to do complex things quickly: I did use some of these tricks like storing and then restoring the cursor position to have the time at which a command stop executing ABOVE the command itself and next to the time it started executing in https://github.com/csdvrx/bash-timestamping-sqlite

I had to, because I was using MSYS2 and the time to execute a command was a limiting factor in Windows before WSL2.
There are certain customers that won't buy your product unless you are SOC2 compliant. So for someone who already does security very well, it still can be a must-do.
Of course trying to perfectly emulate another human at painting is going to be virtually impossible. You could try and emulate my 5-year-old's art, but I could then demonstrate with a team of forensic analysts that you've failed to exactly emulate some of the nuances that my 5-year-old displays in his art. Will you then appreciate the kind of work my 5-year-old produces when you realize how difficult it is to perfectly emulate him?
I don't recall having UI trouble with a single app since getting a 13 Mini some months ago, nor have I heard such from my spouse. Would you have any examples?

> IMO, economics as a science is all about making up theories to 'scientifically' (but actually, just academically) justify whatever the ruling powers want to do.

I see this with macroeconomics, but economics is still a fairly broad field. Microeconomics has the spherical cow problem but econometrics has many useful applications, as does game theory.

A piece of evidence to your point is who quant firms hire: a lot more physics and math PhDs than economists. You would think someone who studies the science of the economy would be good at making money, but the real economy doesn't seem to care as much about those theories.
That's entirely possible, but this whole thread is based on exactly the same perception! The claim, possibly false, is that a sizable portion of HN users want small phones. That could be just visibility bias as well!

My comment is asserting that if we're assuming that the narrative on HN around small phones is not just sampling bias, then it's also good to assume that the narrative around a headphone jack is not just sampling bias. That means we have to believe that a large percentage of users looking for a small phone are also looking for a headphone jack - basically, what I called a "2015" design.
They make a case that there's a difference between men and women in how much overtime work is put upon them. In my household with my wife and I both working from home with lots of off-hour communications and demands, I see a clear difference. I'll put my phone into do not disturb or other modes and disconnect from work. I also turn off many/most notifications normally including email. She's entirely unable to detach from work, even refusing to put her phone on do not disturb, for fear of missing some critical Slack/Email/Text/Call/Whatsapp/Telegram/Signal. I'm comfortable in my role that I can turn off and not get yelled at while she isn't. I've noticed this pattern with previous partners as well. So it may be a difference between how willing women and men are to detach and risk missing something vs. employers treating them differently. Honestly, this article draws some conclusions about that without any supporting data.
Just note that hypersonic weapons are also used defensively. There's research into using them to take out ICBMs during the boost phase. This is the only part of the missile sequence that has a high chance of neutralizing the missile threat but also the most difficult phase to counteract.

They stated that they use the same calculation for the logs as for other purposes such as latency compensation. From near the top of the blog post:

"The reason we did not find it sooner is that the cause of the issue was a code bug that miscalculated latency, which meant that the values in our logs were also wrong."

And from later in the post:

"Our logs were not displaying the issue because the calculation was wrong. It explained why the latency was worse in the venue than on the internet servers"

1.fits nicely in pocket. I can sit down comfortably with it in a pair of jeans. No dodgy posture.

2. Won't fall out of my pocket

Its screen is also much less likely to break like has happened with all my old phones when they accidentally fall out of jacket pocket

Skimming the code, it's a shell script so it is mostly bespoke and much of it just git's built-in color formatting! Also presumably some of it is fzf's UI, too. There's an even less documented helper ruby app called "emojify" from the same author that I couldn't quite figure out what it does, given the name I assume it converts something to emojis, but what and where I didn't ascertain in a brief skim.

(ETA: There's some confusion here too, because some of those screenshots is a likely unrelated "status bar" tool and a Starship-like prompt. Might even be Starship.)
Welcome to the 1% of the desktop market in games and graphics, the market worthy of a king.
I used a Palm, a phone about the dimensions of a business card, 1 slammer-pog thick, and loved it. The battery life was dismal, I had to disable most of the software which ran in the background, the camera was crap, but I loved that phone. Then my stupid provider implemented a list of approved devices and now I'm schlepping around a big piece of garbage with a cracked screen. I want my small phone back, so bad.
You can do that with the stock Android too, once you've enabled the developer options in settings. The setting needed is "Display cutout" --> "Hide".
This is my attitude. Come 5pm, the phone goes into a focus mode ignoring work. I ignore any other desktop communications, frequently closing Slack and Superhuman. Disconnecting from work is the only way to stay sane. No one has yelled at me yet at this job. Previous jobs were awful though. We started work at 10am everyday and the CTO woke me up by calling twice at 7am to break through my do not disturb, just to tell me to push a feature asap. Nothing critical at all. Some bosses absolutely have zero respect for personal time and space.
Hiding and reading instead of sleeping is some universal thing? Fine :-)

I mean, our X-15 was a manned hypersonic aircraft (by a good margin of the minimum 5x speed) in the 1960's, and ICBM's have been guided unmanned long range hypersonic munitions since a similar era, just to name a few. We have plenty of experience with hypersonics, and we almost certainly have continued research and experimentation into the field.

The real technological linchpin isn't so much the speed, but would be things like guidance, precision and manuevering at those speeds, or perhaps other things like stealth, heat management materials (lot of friction from the air when you're ripping through it at those speeds), transatmospheric flight, advancements in hybrid (sc)ramjet engines, etc.

Going hypersonic in and of itself is nothing new. We've been doing that since the 60's. Shit we made a manhole cover go hypersonic before the Russian's ever launched sputnik. It's what something can do after its moving at hypersonic speed that's of real consequence.
You could, but then if say the delay is 439ms, then you'll sit idle for 239ms. It would make more sense from a game theory perspective to simply process for as long as necessary and then place the order.

I disagree and I think it’s a legitimate question. Are you impressed by the artist or the art they produced? How much can a piece of art stand on its own without the context of the artist and their journey, perspective, evolution?

Kaiser doesn't excel at specialty care, I will agree with that. There's more friction (and inter-regionally, which is not something I've had to deal with since I'm in the bay area which is the kaiser mothership).

Kaiser exists to maximize healthcare for reasonable costs across a wide range of people, and they do so by keeping general health high, but at the expense of specialty. In a city like SF, that means Kaiser will send you to UCSF for a transplant and pay a significant fraction. In Solano and Yolo/Sacramento there are far fewer specialists and even then I'd expect you to be referred to UCSF (when I worked there, there were constantly people visiting from all over the state for transplants).
What is the achievement? It seems that the author has shown that this path is fruitful, but transfer learning is no where near being solved.
Skilled artists often get bored with photo real art. Why paint if a camera phone is within reach. Artists also often resist optimizing for commercial success (“selling out”).

I understand why you might not like the later paintings (or at least prefer not to hang them on your wall).

The later paintings are best understood in the context of history. Picasso and his peers were experimenting during the industrial revolution when trains and fast motion were new and video cameras didn’t exist to film them. Cubism was a response to some of those social changes at the time.

Art like this is also, partly, about community—having a good time with other artists in a “hey, check out a thing I tried” sense. Picasso may have intended these as a “Ask:HN” or “Show:HN” rather than a post of a gallery ready piece of work.
