same. It's a shame OnePlus decided to drop the popup camera. They had a really solid mechanism. Going back to a screen with a notch or hole just feels primitive.
It never crossed my mind, they technically did follow the Vita’s footsteps, although that was probably indirect.

Everyone knows Nintendo has the IP and that Disney heritage.
The Jataka Tales
That's pretty much my method now a days.

Used to torrent a lot, but realized I'd forget what I actually had and ended up re-downloading a lot.

So now I just go on sketchy streaming sites. I have 2 that are good for movies/ty, 1 for animated content.

Maybe once a year something will go down and I'll find a new site, but it really is as easy as clicking through the first 10 links when googling "watch $movie online free" and picking the most reliable one.

In the extremely rare case I can't find something, I'll drop the 4 bucks or whatever on youtube movies or amazon prime. Probably only happens a few times a year.

~~~

Unrelated to the discussion, but still HN worthy, is how interesting these sites are when they operate.

Websites will constantly lift not just content but entire pages from each other. A lot of the time they'll even just change a X.com to an X.biz and add a banner saying "THIS IS THE REAL X, UPDATE YOUR BOOKMARKS!".

What are they going to do, take legal action?

I'm also suspecting everyone sources their movies from a very small set of places.

I tried watching the movie Multiplicity on one of these sites, but every single site hosted the first 4 minutes 27-ish seconds of it, exact same cut. It makes sense content propagates out, likely by automation. Everysite is a race to get the most ad clicks before getting shutdown.

A very interesting "industry"!
Normal Normans?
That engineer perspective accurately describes me, including the gun. Haha

Someday the finger will be pointed at us once enough attack vectors are introduced and exploited at once. And in general I distance myself from tech I can live without.
If you follow Silvio Gesell's argument for a mother's dividend he argues that women are too reliant on men for income (remember this was at a time back when women didn't work at all) and therefore cannot choose to have less children.
Unless one of the participants has some degree of hard-of-hearing, in which case, being able to see the other person's lip movements is really helpful.
Ask HN: Joining startups of different sizes/different roles
I am asking a question that oversimplifies lots of things about companies, teams, and other aspects of evaluating new roles, but here goes.

I have two offers from tech start-ups that are quite different from each other:

[1] 50 person company. $50M+ A. Selling cybersecurity software to financial services. Sales role, though I'm quite technical, so focused more on that flavor of sales. This is the CEO's third company, with two prior successful exits.

[2] 8 person company. $10M seed. CEO is a friend. #2 (in seniority) in company most likely but less structured role, probably focusing part on product, part on sales, with key goal to help boost the insurance knowledge of the company. Helping build the company up and sell/iterate the product that is a real-time data reporting platform for insurance MGAs. I think of it as a connectivity and data business rather than a SaaS platform (link: https://www.insurancebusinessmag.com/us/news/breaking-news/what-is-an-mga-115496.aspx)

My current role is sort of analytics jack-of-all trades. Sometimes code. Sometimes presentations of critical numbers. Sometimes product mgmt. I work within an actuarial team but I'm mostly a technologist at heart that accidentally fell into the analytics world within insurance.

I've received a LOT of advice. Probably too much. Two things I hear are 1) an 8-person company will be a shit-show and not a good experience for my first adventure in start-up world, especially coming from a large legacy insurance company, and 2) sales in start-ups is easily the least defensible position - not as "valuable" as engineering and product.

Is any of this advice good? Is an 8-person company going to be a shit-show based on the wisdom of this crowd? Is moving into sales in a start-up from a quite specialized and stable position a silly move? If I'm looking to spend the rest of my career in/around start-ups, is one of these two roles better than the other?

Maybe I'm missing the forest for the trees but I am trying to gather some feedback from a larger sample of folks.

Thanks!
Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments? It's not what this site is for.
I think that supports what I'm saying? Countries do no have to pick a side, they can have have (or should be allowed to have) prosperous relationships with Russia, US, Europe, China, etc.

Ukraine got on the bad side of Russia because it was trying to do just that. It gained leadership that was willing to develop stronger ties with the West and Russia perceived it as a threat, annexing Crimea as stage-1 in their plan to eliminate Ukrainian sovereignty.

Instead they might simply have played nice, continue being the region's key supplier of natural gas/oil/etc., Used those proceeds to develop other areas of it's economy... You get the idea. Their leadership's nostalgia for empire building is, ironically, getting in the way of them building an economic empire. Their scientific tradition should have them at the forefront of new breakthroughs alongside other large nations. Instead, we get a fruitless invasion and another generation of isolation.
So do Prince Charles (Windsor) and Vlad the Impaler.
The author is very clever. This was a fascinating read.

On the inner loop, and progress being a vector sum: one thing I find crucial is knowing where I have to go. That translates to two mantra: rush to the finish line, then rebuild it if needed.

When embarking on a project I know roughly what stages are needed. Maybe three dependencies, one more to bring them together, one more to deliver a subsequent result, and one outer one to present the whole code. Example: a web scraper to get weather data, a thermometer polling daemon, a database to store the two, a scheduler to run the first two and store it in the database, and a module to perform high level queries on past data and forecast trends for the future.

It’s really easy to deep dive on any one of those components. It’s not until I get to the final one that I realize how little I really know about problem. I’ll explore it a little, then work on something else for a week, then come back and know exactly how to retackle the problem from start to finish. It’s the revisiting that gives me insight into what to do, and it was the rush to build the prototype that gave me the raw materials needed to have that insight.

All of this requires at least one whole day of concentration, then three half days of tinkering, then a final week of rewriting and polishing and responding to code review.

So much of this process is subject to external forces that impact my productivity. I am grateful to this article for solidifying them in writing.
Distributed consensus is hard. Very hard. Anyone dismissing the problem as “should never have hopped,” hasn’t a clue as to how hard and error prone reliable distributed consensus is. 35 ms lag in overall responsiveness is an eternity in competitive game play.

There are videos floating around that show drawing on a tablet surface with various input latencies (perhaps someone has a link, I can’t find them at the moment). 35ms latency is very noticeable to anyone never mind professional competitors.

Because of the tricks game designers must pull off in lieu of proper distributed consensus which has hard requirements bound by the laws of physics, it is completely likely there are lots of bugs in the system. I think Riot did the best anyone could reasonably have expected of them, and the write up is particularly informative and helpful.
Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView
- pros: Phoenix / LiveView would scale very well data/app wise. Fast. Elixir language is at this point set with little to no breaking changes.
- cons: Elixir is harder to write at scale. Functional paradigm is sanitary but at a cost of flexibility. Phoenix/LiveView constantly introduce breaking changes. A fraction of Phoenix devs will know LiveView (but can pick it up quick).
Intel’s woes were caused by poor engineering decisions. Apple has been run by MBAs for 10 years and is more successful than ever.
People forget that around the 14nm timeline Intel was completely DOMINATING in terms of performance. And this was not THAT long ago. Will be interesting to see where everything is in 2 years
According to French Wikipedia, one of the names for Clippy in French is Trombine. Given the other user mentioned that it means "face", and given trombone is, I believe, a paper clip (my French education unfortunately did not get this far), I suspect it's used as a kind of cute pun thing.

Kind of like how "Clippy" is obviously derived from the word "paperclip", but has slightly cuter and more friendly connotations. (Except for those experienced with Clippy, who may have other connotations at this point...)
Do you still use your phone as a phone? Because I personally stopped using the phone features long ago, and I suspected many are in the same basket. So even for a minimalist/backup device, it would still need to be a "smart" phone, for note taking, calendar sync and what not.
Bump mapping was supposed to be a selling point of the Gamecube hardware, so it wouldn't surprise me if Nintendo specifically asked or told Factor 5 to incorporate it.

IIRC, it was used in the Zelda Spaceworld 2000 demo. I remember magazines at the time noting the bump mapping on Ganondorf's sword:

A lot of cameras will list maximum time before shutting off as 29 minutes, 59 seconds. This isn't neccessarily because of overheating issues but (I think) to avoid falling on the wrong side of some tax/duty differences between camcorders and stills cameras.

As an example, on my home setup I use a Canon R5 for video calls (way overpowered for this task but I have it for stills photography). This lists maximum recording time as 29:59. However it doesn't limit the amount of time it can be switched on and outputting via HDMI and I've used it for calls of 3+ hours without any issue (with an AC battery adapter).
I like the form factor of mine. Only thing I don't like with it is the battery time, which is shorter than I'd have preferred. But I bought it almost a year ago now, there might be a new model coming that fixes that.

I used to have a Sony Xperia X Compact and when its SIM slot stopped working, I went looking for a new phone and there was nothing of that size. I got the Ulefone Armor X7 Pro which was basically the same phone with a worse camera, less shovelware, and built to last. Still fits in my pocket, more or less.

> genetically distinct groups of people

Is race a genetically distinct marker though? I guess if you limit the sample enough it is, but I've always thought of race as more of a continuous quality than a distinct one.
Having spoken to someone who was there (Steve Omohundro who wrote StarLisp), the lack of floating point and extreme parallelism were actually a pain because everything had to be written from scratch. Steve gave me an example that they wrote over 200 algorithms in a new way, including parallel regex (as I recall). So while amazing hardware and ideas, there was a sense that it was along road to purse the actual goal of AI research.

> The current LPM implementation on Apple iPhones is opaque and
adds new threats. Since LPM support is based on the iPhone’s
hardware, it cannot be removed with system updates. Thus, it has
a long-lasting effect on the overall iOS security model.

I remember in the 00's there was a bunch of action films which prominently showed people taking out their phone batteries in fear of the authorities, it was portrayed as ultra-paranoid at the time but turned out to be correct in hindsight. Only a few years later removable batteries became obsolete. I think the Samsung S5 was the last flagship Android phone to allow it.
I have tried adding edits, many that I thought would have been beneficial as being part of that particular industry / having intimate knowledge of a topic; only to be rejected by some moderator that could not bother to understand the topic.

yup this is a common problem with Wikipedia.
Unfortunately I can't use my Sony A6000 or GoPro as webcams because they need software installed and it's blocked on my work laptop
That's awesome! I'd love to see backups to private S3 buckets. That's where our photos and videos currently get backed up. We also make heavy use of Integromat to glue our various clouds together. But you might take that all with a grain of salt - we are a relatively nerdy group, not sure how "average" those use model would be.
Question: why is it that Intel can’t just poach a bunch of the best TSMC engineers and catch up that way?

Is it a lack of knowledge how to do this manufacturing? Or is it more like a skills shortage of engineers to do the actual manufacturing?

Where exactly is it in the process that they can’t compete, and why is it so hard to catch up, given their virtually infinite R&D budget.
No.

For multiple reasons.

First of all when you have a negative net worth you don't care about the royalties of some hollywood rockstars.

2nd of all, I'm not ready to pay 10 different monthly subscriptions while not even being able to watch 100% of what I want.

3rd of all, even though I appreciate the content, I don't necessarily approve the actions of the artist/producer/developer. I don't want to give a cent to a company that ask its underpaid workers for 100 hour work week during crunch time. I don't want to fund a rapist/abuser producer, I don't to fund anyone's yacht or Ferrari.

Even though I absolutely love his movies, I don't want to fund a guy like tarantino who willingly endangered someones life for one scene.

I mostly consume mainstream stuff so most of the money I'd spent would go to people who already are 1000x richer than me.

I don't really enjoy indie games/movies/music, if I were, maybe I'd act differently.

If my understanding is correct, the reference could get dropped at the end of the scope while the pointed at memory location will remain in memory - so Valgrind would leak it, but I haven’t tested it.
Profits are still decently high and they have the capital to basically subsidize their own chips (as they have done in the past) to keep their market up.
Lack of fanfare? Every techie news outlet is plastered with it, and I'd expect it to diffuse from there.
I'm really surprised at the number of people in this comemnt thread who think going a week without food will kill you. I don't even think it will harm any healthy adult in any way, much less kill them.
I was pro-choice until my early-20s and I changed my view. I've met others who were in favor of complete freedom for abortions and now oppose them because they see as veiled eugenics. Not to mention the countless stories of women who attempted or had abortions and regretted it for the rest of their lives and became vocal opponents of it.

Some work environments really encourage them. I work in teams that always use them and in other teams that never use them. I don't think they add anything to conversations at all.

Our house wants small phones, we had Pixel 4a and 3(both size are small) and converted the rest three to iphone mini and iphone SE.
over many years it does seem andriod phone has shorter life span and iphone lasts longer, which is one more reason we converted two andriod phones to iphones, in addition to the screen size reason.

What made Picasso partially "click" for me, is seeing some of his early work. He was extremely talented in the traditional, realistic style (it's unfortunately not too apparent from the article), and he got too bored of it and single handedly invented the style that is now famous (and often copied, and thus doesn't stand out as much anymore for our modern eyes).
And? That would be like if Chris Lattner got bored of making compilers and languages so he started making bizarre ML-generated creations and everyone started worshiping it because "he previously mastered typical programming, so anything bizarre or abstract he churns out now is automatically special!"
Russia has damaged it's nation and reputation for generations in just two months. The Germans have been the bogeyman for the last three generations after WW2, now the Russians will be treated as such.
A16Z Is Gaslighting Us
GitHub contributor goes rogue, closed-sources SimH
I really wanted Apple to create an iPhone Mini. I had been holding on to my iPhone 6S for years, hoping Apple phones would shrink again. So I was super excited when the Mini came. Once it came out, I was rather unhappy that there was no Pro version. I really, really wanted the cool Pro camera in a phone that's a substantial investment. I'd have been happy to pay more, but the Mini's price was high enough that lacking crossing the excitement line for the camera made me see too little value to invest. So I ended up buying the super cheap, new SE instead.

I now wonder if the camera I want isn't possible in the size I want.
Sure, but that doctrine is old. And has it not been partially obsoleted by China's advances in missile technology?

My understanding was that our fleets have sufficient defense for a limited attack but that a full scale missile attack by China would quickly overwhelm them.
Too much busywork and too many bullshit meetings.

Listen: I'm getting paid a salary, right? My understanding is that getting a salary means I'm paid to do the job whether it takes me 4 hours a week, 40, or 80. At the same time, the company has me on a "billable hours" model with utilization metrics. If I can do my work properly (with tests, documentation, etc.) in 16 hours a week I still have to find busywork or meetings related to my project to fill out the other 24 hours in the workweek -- or pick up the slack for slower workers.

The way I see it, I'm being penalized for being competent and efficient. I'm not going say "it's not fair", but the metrics and incentives are fucked. If I'm a consultant with billable hours, I should get paid for every hour I work. My hourly rate should not go down if I work more than 40 hours a week.

Hell, if I'm working more than 40 hours a week and don't get to set my own hours, then I damn well deserve time and a half for overtime.
I'd be shocked if that really came through with the jitter/compression/etc. IMO Email is king for accessibility, I wish people didn't hate on it so much.

Lots of these tools do real time closed-caption now anyway.
I stand by my point that we openly disclose this and if you don’t want to share data either disable it or don‘t use it.
Top tips.

Wear a headset for a microphone. Avoid the echo cancellation step on each other effect.

If you can't be bothered to do that at least put earbuds in.
> Design wise, that means that you've got to have another hole in the bezel, because there's going to be an earphone jack. That's apparently anathema for modern phones, but probably 90+% of us want it. Again, that's Hacker News specific. I haven't polled the market in general. I just know that I (and many others) won't consider buying your phone unless it has a jack.

Your jump from "I want" to "90+% of us want" is an egregious failure in reasoning. You say that you haven't polled the greater market, but you also haven't even polled HN.

Microeconomics study the interaction of marginal costs with the demand curve, too bad that in real life marginal cost is undefined (and the demand curve doesn't exist in a vacuum).
Exactly right.

They added too much latency because they forgot to account for the latency they added in the client. You can see from their architecture diagram (Figure 4) that the latency measurement didn't include the client delay.

“If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” - Henry Ford.

Just a note that this quote, and a similar one by Steve Jobs (‘Market research could never have given us the Macintosh’) are amongst the most misinterpreted in history. Most people see them as saying ‘market research is useless’ - what both were actually saying is that you need to take a new innovation to the customer and _then_ ask them what they think of it.

So no, don’t just flat out ask people what they want - but intuit and give people a little taste of what they could have - and then ask them what they think.
Is it somehow righteous for academics to study self-referential things that their offspring then go to study in perpetuity? For example, money holes like string theory haven't produced any major breakthroughs, and in fact, that is by design. Chipping away at the near infinite scope of the infinite problem is good for writing papers to get PhDs. It is not good for science, or human progress.
This could be an interesting way to do live testing on damaged brains, which we cannot do in humans.
