> Sometimes I almost feel like companies sometimes intentionally sabotage experimental products just not to deal with the headache of supporting more options in their supply chain.

Except companies like Samsung throw out dozens of new models per year, which all differentiate only marginally, and none of them gets a SFF while maintaining higher quality of features (i.e. no cheap phone with 720 display and such).

Sometimes they get it right, like with the Samsung A40 from 2019, only to not pursue the sales for a true successor. Heck, me and a lot of my friends and relatives bought an A40 because of its size and fantastic display.
FWIW, the standard printed out is multiple linear feet of shelf space. There is a spot for a lot of things.

One common issue is a lot of these kinds of tags rely on optional human input and are inconsistently applied. As opposed to say, modality specific parameters produced by a machine, which are consistent.

DICOM is a great example of design by committee, with the +'ve and -'ves that implies.
fear / insecurities makes people different imo. not sure which environment is the one with more or less because the workings are quite complex. people irl can behave crappy due to insecurities, but lack of fear or reprecussions makes people act mean online. insecurities might make people want to look bigger online too while they might make people more timid (not in all cases?) offline.

i know people who are generally grumpy and mean irl who are really happy and friendly on their online time, and vice versa. dont think its one way or the other, as people process emotions and stuff differently. there might be generalizations you can make or feel you observe, but imo they break down into these contradictions when looking at unique individuals. perhaps a psychologist has a better answer...
This is what I try and do with my kids. They're elementary school age - if you tell them "go clean your room", they will melt down because the problem is too big for them to understand how to fix it.

Conceptually, they know they just need to put one thing away at a time, but often their emotions kick in first and short circuits rational thought. I help them through this by sitting in the room with them and just calling out 3 things that can easily be put away and tell them to just do those 3 things. Then we will do it again, and again, and again, and ....., until the room is close to being clean and they can finally take care of themselves.

I also point out the phenomenon to them - I call it their "monkey brain" impulse, which I use to describe any impulsive or avoidant behavior. I also use "lizard brain" when they go into a blind rage against their sibling at some perceived slight or injustice, and %kid_name% brain for when rational thought and morality are piloting their actions. The framework seems to work for them, and helps them think about their thoughts (which is a concept I had to introduce to them, they'd literally never thought about doing that - I guess kids don't develop that until later?).
Knowing the classic Riot Games MO: I’d bet money there was a plus instead of a minus that made it through code review, and they’re being intentionally vague to save face.
While there are arguments like that for going vegetarian, it doesn't really apply here.

The US still has plenty of land that could be used for housing that currently isn't used at all. Last I checked, I think there's even currently enough housing for everyone in the US. The problem is that the land and houses aren't where people want to live, because of jobs or family or etc.

E.g. Detroit has a bunch of cheap and open housing. Rural areas could probably have 10x the current population density without touching agriculture.

Carbon footprint arguments are fair, but a change in diet is unlikely to change the cost of living in San Francisco, New York, LA, etc.
From the article:

"If electricity is delivered whenever it 'feels like' being delivered (when the wind is blowing somewhere or the sun is shining), it won't meet the demand-unless the consumer for that electricity has its own gigantic battery storage (which Griffith actually recommends that a household buy). But Griffith does tell us the real cost of solar energy-at least of rooftop solar. He says, 'Remember that the average US cost of grid-based electricity is 13.8c per kilowatt-hour. If rooftop solar achieves the price point it has in Australia of 6-7c per kilowatt-hour, and if batteries achieve a price point of around the same 6-7c per kilowatt-hour per storage cycle, then we will have arrived at that moment when our battery storage can beat the grid on cost.'"

I realize it's (massive) utility-scale, but Bhadla[1] has seen energy price bids at 3.2c per kWh.

Meanwhile, for residential electrical storage batteries, Spirit Energy quotes[2] an effective cost-per-cycle of around 13p (approximately 16c) in the UK.

I have an alternative approach that I discovered recently while building a microscope with a webcam driven by linux.

Nearly all modern cheap webcams are UVC-compatible and they work with linux. Different models expose different functionalities, but I ended up with this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R489K8L

It does 1600x1200 25FPS YUYV (as well as a wide range of other resolutions and FPS) uses the C/CS-mount lens standard (easy to buy a wide range of high quality lenses). It doesn't have a microphone but you should be using an independent mike anyway. Has software control of exposure color temp, and gain, which is great for various lighting conditions.

You read the data through USB, not HDMI. The one thing I haven't managed to do is autofocus, but imho, for webcams you want to set a fixed focus around your head anyway.

Works with all video conference programs, and OBS studio (I actually import the video in OBS and then create a virtual camera).
you can pry the iphone SE from my cold, dead hands.

i've been in the anti-iphone group since the first iphone. frankly, android has (and more importantly android phones have) pissed me off more than apple and that's the primary reason of me being an iphone convert now.
I love the intent and actions behind this post. Finding an unfair bug mid-tournament is serious, and it takes courage and integrity on the part of the technical team to

-listen to the players

-investigate past what your own analytics are saying

-find and fix the bug under time pressure

-and disclose the (potentially embarrassing!) initial mistake

I think the article itself could have been worded better though. It didnt feel very clear. As a reader, I want to know what went wrong, how it was handled, and feel confident that you are on top of the issue. All the stuff about "why we chose our network topography" reads as details at best, justification/excuses at worst.
Very cool project! Thanks for sharing
Mostly the same things that happen when people lose faith in other public institutions. The decisions and actions of those institutions cease to be accepted as any sort of meaningful authority other than that which they wield by force.

But that's actually not what this article is about, it's really just sour grapes ("it's not legitimate when it's not what we want, it's only legitimate when we get our way").

It is interesting that their "nightmare scenario" only considers the possibility of a lawsuit by Republicans over election procedures, and doesn't even consider that the next such suit might be filed by Democrats.
That market absolutely exists, and a few people have tried to serve it over the years. Here's an old example, a Samsung phone promoted by Jackie Chan that cost about $3,000 back in 2012:

And in 2018, One Plus had a $3,000 phone:

People shit on the algorithmic feed, but I love it. I’m too busy to wade through bad/boring tweets, and don’t want to spend all day scrolling. I can check it once or day or less and the algorithmic sorting surfaces the best content right at the top.

That said, I don’t really need a smarter algorithm than “show my tweets with a lot of favorites”.

Just like a prefer to have Reddit sort by best vs new.
At least my Fuji X-T4 insists on its own driver that makes use of live view video the camera sends via some proprietary protocol and exposes that as a virtual webcam. It doesn't do USB webcam sadly.
Bear with me here. You find random Hacker News comments convincing. But what if you look at the evidence instead of commenters?

Let me save you some time by linking you to an engineering talk by the head of AI at Tesla. I'll link you directly to a time in the video where he directly contradicts the witness of your expert hacker comments by showing the empirically results of sensor fusion side by side with the empirical results of vision only.

What is these days the way to make a simple 3D model exported in gltf interactive? I mean hide or show parts of the model? Add interactivity by having some JavaScript “steering” changes of the 3D model? Like an interactive model viewer. As modelviewer looks like not allowing to have a lot of interactivity

You are stuck in a mental structure. There are many good advises which help you to gradually improve that structure.

You can also try to leave it and come back with a new set of mind.

Do something new (and safe), without preparation. E.g. take your phone, go out into the street, let the internet select a new, random song and play it aloud, and dance to it. The more people who see it and the more they are puzzled the better. Also: Allow yourself to enjoy it a little bit.

You will see that you can do anything. You don't need all knowledge in advance and it doesn't matter how others judge it. Write your assignment with that mindset.
What's the carbon footprint for these services? Would be interesting to calculate how much would an average free tier usage pollute. Are there any available numbers from these products?
I haven't had the same experience at all, perhaps its because I'm on windows? I also don't use my camera as my audio source. I use my laptop microphone for now, with plans to get an external microphone. I just use the usb cable that came with the camera, I never had to purchase it separately.

The battery I use is one that uses the shell of a matching battery but provides a wired 8V DC through a usb SMPS, 20$ from aliexpress and I never have to worry about it.
that answers my question perfectly. thank you!
Probably because such a system is not provably fair – you can’t prove your system is truly random.
TL;DR: Twitter is useful if you want to read stuff or write stuff (mostly short stuff), without any particular structure.

Hi, GitLab team member here.

There is work to do, and product and engineering are putting more focus on fixing longstanding issues, and increase reliability. Specifically for GitLab Runner, 15.0 and later bring many fixes, next to supporting podman.

Intel’s process technology lead was the core of their strategy and explains 95% of what’s gone wrong. The 5G modem design was an irrelevant sideshow that had no impact on 10nm.
Here’s part of the ArsTechnica article on Leopard that discussed CoreAnimation:

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2007/10/mac-os-x-10-5/8/

Of note:

> [The] advent of Core Animation probably means that we'll have to endure some amount of gratuitously animated software created by "overly enthusiastic" developers. But the same was true during the introduction of styled text and color graphics. Mac developers learn quickly, and Mac users are good at rewarding restraint and punishing excess.
It probably wouldn't work well for a small phone, by my oppo has a pop up camera which works much better than I'd expected.

Majority of the time I enjoy a full screen experience with a tiny bezel. If I need the selfie cam it silently and very quickly is there.

I think they didn't catch on as they are complicated and inhibit IP68 ratings.

But I think I'll struggle to move on from it. The notches and hole punch cameras just look like an irritating defect when I use them.
> Early Android versions supporter USB mass storage and that worked pretty well, but the transfer method implemented on newer versions is very slow and never works reliably for me.

Sounds like you haven't been using ADB. Normally, like you've seen, getting files on or off a modern Android handset is a terrible experience. Considering I only do bulk transfers from my own PC, I just apt install adb, then adb push $files $destination. Highly recommend - it's one of the few ways Android is still dramatically better for techy users.

Show HN: Stupid – A simple daily word scramble
After playing Wordle for 90 or so days in a row I got the itch to build my own word game. I began with a simple word scramble, added a few family members, and have iterated on the game until the point you see now.

I called it Stupid because I thought it was a stupid word game.

Stupid allows for two backspaces and two guesses. Once you burn your guesses you’re done (even if you haven’t used your backspaces yet). It takes a few days to get it (which is likely due to my poor game design skills).

Speaking of design, the UI features art from artists I like. I’ll be switch up the UI from time-to-time. I’m keeping a history on my website: https://cdevroe.com/portfolio/stupid-april-2021/

I built Stupid by handcoding JavaScript without any use of frameworks. The JavaScript isn’t very good - and I know that - but I’m totally open to critique and feedback. Please do not hold back.

There is no server side component, no tracking, no analytics. My best guess, due to Digital Ocean’s graphs, is that there have been a few thousand players so far. But I cannot say for sure.

If you do play, please play at least a few days in a row. And please give me feedback. I’m eager to improve it.
Rosetta is an emulator, that is correct. It consists of both an ahead-of-time translator that does fairly straightforward conversion of x86 code into ARM, albeit with a 1-to-1 mapping between registers rather than following AAPCS or any standard calling convention. At runtime, if new code is generated (e.g. a JIT compiler) it’s run through what’s essentially a runtime version of this process. Self-modifying code is detected on write (code page is marked as read-only if it looks like it’s code, and the write faults and indicates the page should be marked with read-write permissions) or indirect branch (code has been written out and needs to be executed, so page is translated and flipped back to read-only). Calling into arm64 code directly is not possible without thunks due to the mismatched ABI. The system libraries are actually provided as a translated shared cache, rather than being mapped in as “normal” code.
Word on the street is also that the 14nm death march resulted in a lot of engineers taking early retirement which left them in a worse position to pursue 10nm.
With spending money being a proxy for labour, I'm disappointed that the article mentions labour only once.
I am not. Historically ethnicities and ancestoral lines aligned so ethnic differences and biological differences due to generational mating choices largely influenced by the culture that is a component of the ethnicity are aligned as well. Race is not a biological classification because it is appearance based but arbitrary. Appearance is not the same as biology. A husky appears similar to a small wolf but it might be correct to consider them (dogs) a race of wolves.

The deceptively evil part of the concept of race is, it does not simply differentiate biological features but it goes on to impose a fork at the root of the ancestoral tree where people of that race share the same origin and same differences. In reality biological differences are a result if what a culture considers attractive multiplied by mutations that help people adopt to different environments (e.g.: skin color being a result of adaptation to sun light and vitamin d levels instead of a being a feature that shows ancestoral forks in creation or evolution).

It is simply inaccurate to label people by race but it is useful to impose social evils. But biological differences due to mating and cultural choices are very real and can be examined at a granular level that takes the actual factors for the differences into account instead of the lazy+evil correlation that is the concept of race.

Ethnicity is not what culture you identify with. You don't become ethnically african american because you like african american culture and grew in a specific neighborhood. It is the marriage of culture and ancestry.
Personally, I feel like there are too many dollars and startups in this space now.

I feel like the risk profile is such that I'd never buy most of the products being built. I don't want core business infrastructure sitting in the cloud of a startup which might not exist tomorrow due to missing a VC round or an agile pivot. I also don't want an integration of 50 different cloud services.

I'm glad to use established open-source technologies. I'll also use AWS or similar big players if open source doesn't exist. However, most of the niche proprietary startups just don't make much sense here to me. I'd invest a lot of money and take on a lot of risk.

I do feel like there is big money in value-adds: hosting open-source solutions, consulting, etc. A lot of non-tech companies are struggling with data, ML, and visualizations.

There's a feedback loop here. Once these startups start shutting down, the above problem will be recognized, cascading their collapse.
Amazon Glacier assumes that you only retrieve a fraction of the data.
Hakenkreuz is not “literally the name for a swastika”. Hakenkreuz literally translates to hooked cross. It has nothing to do with a Swastika which is a completely unrelated symbol that has been around for a long time. The swastika is also visually different (the Hakenkreuz is angled 45°, we could argue about the form itself, but on the other hand its not a very deliberate geometric structure)

Furthermore, “Swastika” has not once been mentioned or used by the Nazis. Hitler in Mein Kampf referred to it as a hooked cross, and while they probably knew about the Swastika itself, assigning a completely new symbolic meaning to a symbol results in a new, unrelated symbol.

In fact, as far as my current knowledge goes, the in the English speaking world wide-spread mistranslation of "Hakenkreuz" to "swastika" was a deliberate mistranslation by a British Christian priest that has propagated into mainstream “knowledge”.
Plus if they're large enough the government will bail them out when they fail assuring there's less room for a better replacement to sprout up.
I'd be fine if they made it a biennial release. I don't need to upgrade my phone more than that anyway.

I feel like my plan right now is to hope with the iPhone 14 launch, the 13 mini will continue to be sold with a price drop, and then I'll upgrade my 12 mini to the 13 mini and get the battery improvement. I love the size of this phone and hope I'm never forced back to the gigantic "normal-sized" phones that we've gotten stuck with the past decade.
No.

This is a stablecoin which has a centralized management team that can halt and control activity on the blockchain, which is fundamentally different from a bitcoin or monero which is a truly decentralized system with no controlling organization that can change anything without slow bulding, mass consent of all participants in the network, and is anyway naturally very stable because of its simplicity and extremely conservative and risk averse development process.

It's more like an Englishman yelling out that they're a Scotsman as they ransack the public square. It's not a fallacy to point out that they're simply not a Scotsman.
I had forgotten about Pegasus Mail! I used it back in the day. Don't think I've heard that name mentioned in years.

I have found this to be the biggest myth of Twitter: it is nearly useless for content marketing.

A long time ago (so it's possible this isn't true any more) I did some analysis on a pretty large number of domains and found that Twitter had virtually no impact on traffic. There were brands that had a large twitter following, but in nearly every case I could find this was because a popular brand happened to have an audience that also was active on Twitter, not because Twitter activity helped to grow their brand.

I also had/have (much more recently) a Twitter account with > 5k follows, that was pretty active (i.e. I didn't just game Twitter to grow followers, something I have done in the past, which is a separate issue). I had a couple of Tweets with more than 1k likes, many with more than 500. First off, most really viral content is viral because it has nothing to do with your "brand", so that gets no traffic. However, even tweets that are relevant, linking to specific articles etc. only get a small blip in traffic and no visible long term improvement.

tl;dr in both my research and anecdotal experience Twitter is not a good marketing tool

Twitter can be good for communicating with your users/audience if they happen to already be there, but it won't grow your brand.

Twitter can be useful for meeting people. I have a small number of friends that I have met there.

But as a marketing tool it is a complete waste of time.
Asus Zenfone 8.
No, because there are so few of people with your opinion that those types of phones will not sell enough to recoup costs, much less make a profit. At most, you can buy a phone with a pop-up camera (the OnePlus 7T Pro is nice, although a few years old now) [0].

One thing I don’t think people appreciate is just how impressively compact the Minis are. Every bit of space is used up. I doubt any Android OEM (with the exception of maybe Samsung) could get make a comparable device.

Unless they used something akin to a laptop webcam, there simply isn’t enough space for a third camera.
Pixel 5 is good, I got a 6 and returned it because it was massive. Hoping they return to this this form factor & add the rear fingerprint sensor back.
The memory ordering is different, too. Apple gets around it by adding support for intel ordering in the m1 cpus, and then changing to that mode on a per-process basis.

https://twitter.com/ErrataRob/status/1331735383193903104

If you mix arm and x86 code inside a process, you can't tell which ordering to use.

Recession deep dive: VC psychology, macro risks, Tiger Global, predictions
It's complex on one end to reduce complexity on the other -- the trading companies wouldn't have to worry about millisecond optimizations if they trading batches were 200ms windows. So the wire lengths wouldn't matter but also not mattering is the processor, memory, software, etc. for the trading companies. Seems like a good tradeoff.

And honestly the wire thing probably isn't real. Light moves 30cm in a nanosecond. The wire lengths could be 3 meters different and only make a 10ns difference. Not sure that would matter all that much.
