Apologies, I did not see that image in the article's history. I assume it lacked a free license as the other commenter mentioned.

Interestingly, the current image on that article appears to also not be legitimately freely licensed. It is a screen shot of a Youtube video uploaded by a resort in New Mexico. The uploader[0] gives no indication on their user profile that they are affiliated with the resort, while putting a Creative Commons license on the screenshot that the Youtube page makes no indication of.

The uploader is also now suspended on all Wikimedia projects for abusively using multiple accounts, and their main account[1] has on their talk page lots of records of deleted political-oriented images with many instances of inaccurate licensing and poor quality.

(If someone has a Wikipedia account it would be nice to flag the image on Ronchetti's page for deletion!)

All this to say, Wikipedia's editing process can by its nature be pretty messy and often produce some suboptimal results, until such time as someone comes along and fixes it. This should not be confused with a concerted effort by the people running the project itself.

i don't get this perspective

> Brexit, Trump, and the social and economic decline, perceived or real, that led to them are the most obvious events that signaled our latest attempts to kick apart Eden.

like okay, those legit aren't great, but don't we face substantially bigger threats from, oh, IDK, Putin's Russia and what may yet be an ascendant China?? Maybe the way we approach these matters, as if sleepwalking, has as much to do with destruction we suffer as any overt impulses towards destruction.

(Also, the people kicking Eden apart usually aren't the most-comfortable ones, but the resentful ones a few rungs down.)
To everyone who is running old Android devices, do you just not care about security updates, or is there something I’m missing? Been thinking of switching from my dying iPhone 7 to a GrapheneOS device, but the extremely short support window has given me pause.

Also, any phone recommendations?
Was this before or after Obama was successful using social media to win his elections?

How do you know it didnt break when you closed it? Or when you opened it?
Sadly Maps is the killer phone app for me. Otherwise I'd try harder to get rid of the google stuff on my phone.
You don’t have to visit meta at all. Just stop. It’s like the world needs an intervention
It's great... Until people start abusing it as an ineffective copy protection mechanism.
There is also the middle ground of a lock timeout - if you use your phone more than, say, once an hour, it'll never lock, but if you drop it on the ground and it sits there for an hour it'll be locked if someone finds it.
As for why manufacturers don’t make netbooks… it’s a fair point if you’re only looking at the major PC makers I guess, but overall they actually do! Think GPD Pocket series, One Mix series, (soon) MNT Pocket Reform. It’s a niche, but the hardware exists!
Helicopters dropping money is so old school.

I'm really not impressed. Windows snapping was supposed to be similar to a tiling Window manager, but I can't even get the supposed keyboard shortcuts working. Had Windows just taken something similar to i3's defaults and enabled snapping functionality it would have been pretty awesome.
That's good since it's 9.1mm thick
Do somethings provide value? Yes? If I want to write an app for my own phone (and provide it to no one else) I need to pay them $100 a year. That turns my $1000 phone into a $1100 phone the first year, 10% increase. Is it providing me value? Services are rent seeking because its MRR and ARR, some worth it, some definitely not (an SD card slot would crush and kill iCloud)
> A whole generation of engineers is about to relearn the importance of open source

it's not really about open-source, but about inter-operability and open protocols.

Imagine if AOL internet was the defacto standard, and every website is their own walled garden? Oh wait, no we already have that - it's the mobile app ecosystem!

The reason the web is so successful (but not monopolistic) is that the http protocol is open, and the HTML standards are open (at least, until google started meddling now since they are almost a browser monopoly...)

So laws for anti-trust should now take that into account - platform monopolies can be beaten by forcing interoperability via legislation.
Oh right because that is all firefighters do. They aren't also EMTs who study how to keep your smug ass alive after an accident. Nor are they trained in understanding a fire and how to fight it. They also can't possibly be trained in any of other other things that firefighters do. Literally all they do is sit and point hoses at things...

Once again the way that HN commenters as a whole (not all of us) reduce every job but software development to the simplest terms is astounding. Are you a software engineer? Do you just type shit into a computer all day? Seems easy.

i've always just seen it as a wrapper for updating multivariate linear models when the inputs have noise that can be modeled with gaussians.

linear models meaning anything that can be described as a matrix vector multiply. (which is a lot)

but i'm no expert.
Right, of course. But being able to use faster shutter speeds is just a win in general for a huge number of applications.
well played!
So, are phones actually more powerful than computers? I know obviously there's a scale, but my understanding is that x86 stuff is an entirely different league than anything built for mobile. I wasn't really acutely aware of this until I started building some small form factor entertainment systems. After doing some research and testing I was getting far better performance out of old model x86 Chromeboxes than even the latest mobile hardware.
6" is not small to a large portion of smartphone users
>"I'm sure the US has committed 1 and 2, but I would assert that the scale and quality is quite different from what Russia is doing now in Ukraine."

Talking about scale - number of dead in Iraq for example would dwarf that of Ukraine. I am not sure about "quality" but I find it repulsive to even talk this way about mass murder.

>" Some of things I listed above (e.g. freedom of speech, free society) are strong motivators."

I agree with that.

>"And I'm not trying to make this personal by picking on the country you're from."

I have no sympathy to that rabid dog Putin and to what he and his lapdogs are doing. Fuck him. Besides it's been more than 30 years. I pretty much feel Canadian ;)
I definitely think that's an aspect of it, but it's not one we can really do a whole lot about. The nature of what we do and the skillsets we have mean when we encounter problems we then come up with solutions and those solutions have their own problems, so it just infinitely recurses.

I think that's a lot more controllable on an individual level than on an industry level. I'm sort of attempting to do that myself in some ways by just picking a stack and working my way through building something in it end to end covering absolutely every aspect I can imagine in terms of software engineering "jobs to be done" and as I build it, going through industry go-to resources of how to best do X and properly implementing the advice. I think if more of us bothered to do that we'd be far more capable of starting software companies off at a much more advanced stage of technical maturity and hence with less problems that arise from the hacky shit we cobble together under financial pressure to ship, ship, ship. That would ideally result in significantly less churn.

Essentially, yes. Just take something and get ultra good at it and then stick with that thing.
Filmless super-8 camera with a Raspberry Pi
I'm surprised that Asus is still making phones after the market got so cutthroat and HTC and LG couldn't make it.
For a few years I had an X205TA "Eeebook" which was a bit of a mixed bag.

The battery life was stellar on the Atom processor, and the boot time was fast enough that I could save even more battery by shutting it down between classes.

The cramped keyboard and tiny screen, however, made it a pain to use sometimes, and 2gb of RAM meant having to be careful about what I had running to avoid seriously slowing it down.

When Windows 10 came around and PCs started upgrading without any user input, my laptop was among them. Unfortunately, the original operating system was the slimmed down "Windows 8.1 with Bing" that was intended for use on low-spec hardware. Windows 10 absolutely killed the performance and I had to grab a used Thinkpad Carbon to have something light but functional.
Have you heard of people asking an architect of a Library to optimize the arrangement of space to influence their reading pattern so they have healthier connections with the their friends or family or society?

It's a useless and absurd goal.

We don't even know what the hell we are trying to build these days. Thats the influence of being around badly designed systems for so many years.
Google is no crapware, Samsung is as much crapware as possible.

Samsung has their own version of every built-in app. Text messages for example, they have a much shittier version of "Messages" (no RCS support at least a few months ago). Their apps get set back to default randomly. Photos/Gallery, email, web browser, you name it.

They then have other junk installed. Their own app store, their own voice assistant, and other useless/niche apps.

You are blocked from uninstalling any of it.

It is the scourge of Android. "Android One" was an effort by Google to curb it, but I think only Motorola signed up (in addition to Google, obviously). OnePlus started on the premise of a clean/stock experience, but have started losing their way (rather rapidly). "Nothing" is a new manufacturer aiming for a stock experience. Asus seems to be doing stock.

If you ever consider moving away from Pixel I strongly recommend prioritizing a stock experience over _anything_ else. Crapware is maddening, full of bugs, and likely full of vulnerabilities.
GalliumOS works for the x86 chromebooks. For a handful of arm chromebooks archlinuxarm works reasonably well.

I bought a Samsung Chromebook Plus (1st gen) before covid when I was taking the train every day. I find it to be a great carry with me device for note taking, web browsing, coding, and light gaming when combined with a tiling window manager. It certainly feels like the netbook promise of the late 2000s.

I have to caution that for that particular device the stock kernel in archlinuxarm no longer boots because there are limits on the boot partition size. The workaround I'm aware of is to build out your disk on an sd card / usb stick on another computer, cross compiling the kernel with a reduced set of drivers, and installing it using binfmt-qemu-static/chroot.
No it isn't. Ford has 4 billion shares outstanding. I can place a buy order for Ford at $1,000/share right now: if it's filled at that price, Ford doesn't instantly become a trillion dollar company. Just because you can sell a few shares at a high price doesn't mean someone will buy the rest of the shares at that price. Especially not in illiquid private markets.

> It seems like if you think cheese storage is arbitrary, you do not cook for yourself on a regular basis enough to think about ingredient storage/preparation.

Eh, I love cooking and do some pretty complex stuff (including with cheese) and I think cheese storage is pretty arbitrary tbh. I would have had no clue what to answer in the example quiz question.
Unity uses their own AOT compiler IL2CPP that translates C# code to C++. Mono is an option in builds, but most projects are using IL2CPP nowadays and have been moving to .Net core. Although C++ is king, C# has quickly caught up to be a close 2nd. Unity is used to make 50% of all mobile, pc, and consoles games (according to Unity https://unity.com/our-company).
Damn, I had, still have the exact same one, managed to avoid the Win 10 upgrade and it worked well but my issue now is charging. Battery life was Amazing and it really was good enough for most stuff, just can't reliably charge even after 3-4 replacement chargers.
Coinbase is in deep trouble – and so is the SEC
You could also get 256gb of storage from a $30 high-endurance samsung microsd card and not pay a recurring monthly expense. It's not just an apple thing, but the hardware from most manufacturers is clearly being designed to exclude that possibility in favor of pushing you to high-priced internal storage and cloud services with recurring billing.
"RunOnce" isn't even the preferred way to run EXEs with RegEdit.

See "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options". That stuff there is very powerful and scary. You can even use this feature to stop the Windows Telemetry from running.
When I put together a favorite short stories list in SF, I cheated a bit by making
"Fiat Homo" (which is the first part of the re-worked novel) one of them. But it's one of the great books.
I had one. It was good. I installed Debian and Ubuntu on it (even dual booted with Windows). It was excellent. Very good little guy back in the day (around 2011).

I had two actually. I really loved them. Tiny, cheap but a real PC. Such a cutie. Brings back great memories of my Eee PCs. Loved it! :)
Wait, how new is the new free plan? A co-worker of mine linked me this recently saying it might be good for some internal tooling (which I totally agree!) and I wanted to hack around with it in anger on my own first before being comfortable making any sort of pitch internally for it but when I checked the free plan (at the time) it put me off. But now it looks like quite a bit more friendly...
I don’t know how you guys can stand the iPhone SE, the thick bezels at the top and bottom make it feel so claustrophobic.
I agree, it is always cool to see GPU offerings. How is this different from Vast.ai (mentioned 4 months ago here on HN)?

Vast has RTX 3090 GPUs for $.32/hr on-demand or $.18/hr for interruptible. You can see live available offers on the website right now.

On paper and in a theoretical sense, yes, mortgages are the largest and cheapest loans normal people can get and investing is the mathematical play. However, such advice does not take into account risk. There is much higher risk in having a mortgage than not having a mortgage. There is additional risk in having a mortgage plus investing your savings. If someone is making double their salary, then they could pay off a reasonable house (say up to ~$1M) in a decade or so. That is a huge amount of burden and risk that gets reduced, which doesn't take into consideration the emotional and stress release.

Also, people often say that you shouldn't invest money that you don't need in less than five years. The present time is a good example of that. So, treating securities investments as liquid in periods smaller than that is dangerous.

Assessing potential risk is just as important as assessing gains.
Sony is also very close to stock. They keep stock for most of the important apps, and only have their own apps for things like the camera.
If you're just going to declare all of that to be factual, what response should anyone give? If there is "no improvement, none whatsoever" then obviously Lightning should win! But that's not the case at all.

Lightning places the springs inside the port, instead of on the cable. So, when the springs wear out, you need a new phone instead of a new cable.

Lightning directly exposes the pins on the cable to the environment and corrosion, which is not a better design for durability and longevity.

I have no idea where you're getting the idea that USB-C is more fragile than Lightning. It isn't, although this seems to be a persistent belief. All evidence I've seen points to the opposite conclusion, at least as far as the port is concerned, and everyone should care a lot more about the port than the cable. Ports are much more expensive to replace than cables. We're also not talking about the flimsy microUSB connector, which was rife with problems.

The USB-C port has also been repeatedly proven to be small enough to fit into the current crop of iPhones, so why does the minuscule difference in size matter? It isn't the limiting factor for anything.

But, none of that really matters. What matters is that approximately all of my other devices use USB-C, but I have to either carry around a Lightning cable or a wireless charger just for my phone. Why? It's incredibly annoying to need yet another type of cable, and Lightning isn't better at anything. If Lightning was so much better, Apple should have pushed for it to become the standard instead of USB-C, as Apple has been part of the USB-IF for a very long time, and Apple would have used it on their laptops instead of USB-C... but they didn't do either of those things. Even Apple is moving away from Lightning, first on their iPads, but it is clear they're going to do this across the board over time.

Even worse, Lightning is limited to USB 2.0 speeds on iPhone. Apple introduces iPhones with a terabyte of storage and the ability to record massive 4k ProRes video files... but how are you supposed to get those multi-gigabyte files onto a computer for editing? Lightning at slower-than-WiFi speeds? WiFi at 600Mbps instead of USB-C at 10Gbps? None of it makes any sense.

It is way past time for Apple to switch the iPhone to USB-C, but it apparently won't happen until next year.
I’ve never had good luck finding cellular devices that you could just put a SIM card in (on a standard 4g/5g line). I remember buying a data SIM from T-mobile only it not working in a cellular security camera.

So I just stuck with a cheap 5g phone, sharing data to a rpi over usb, which provides ethernet to a travel/low power AP.
But any person off the street can’t try to qualify.
I'm not sure how that applies here. What are the left/right sides of the disputed change? (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Recession&diff=11...)
I'm blown away by everything about this. The idea, execution, readme, packaging... everything. This feels like the slick lightweight zenity or yad for the terminal that I have always wanted - but actually better than I imagined. Can't wait to try this.
I'm staying on my OnePlus 7 Pro until another true full screen phone comes out.

Oh, and whatever it is also has to support loading a google-free OS, such as with MicroG or Graphene.
I think trying to save money is the wrong mindset. Life should continue as is. Put aside what you don't need.

If you start spending, you'll keep spending. Once you taste the fancy butter and breakfast on organic non-bleached sourdough, going back to margarine on toast makes you unhappy.

Money, like food, is dangerous. If you're comfortable, more of it just makes you 'fat'. It's harder to dial back to being acsetic later.

However, going through the journey of opulence is something people should try. Buy the expensive chocolates, eat the steaks with gold leaf, sleep at top hotels for absolutely no reason, buy flights to visit the crowded wonders of the world. Just manage expectations that this indulgence is not the peak of your life, but rather a low point.
Ah, you assumed Android One was the name when it's actually just the number of companies who want less crapware.

Not much of a surprise. We've spent the last two years redefining words, most with the tacit approval of even the majority of the crowd here, so why would it stop now?
Thank you. I watched the video. Zeihan’s arguments I mostly can’t comment on, but it’s intriguing how he thinks the supply gap of programmers will be fixed by gen-z entering the software industry. I’m expecting AI to fill the gap. Yes, LLMs currently kind of suck at program synthesis. But the tech will get better. AGI may still be far off, Metaculus’ 2030 centered predictions may be wrong. Scalable, human level, program synthesis may be far off.
But can it improve enough to reduce the demand for programming talent by, all else being equal, 20%? 25%? That seems doable within the decade.
45M at 3.2B valuation? Who's drinking that koolaid?

>>>The funding, which Retool has described to me as a Series C2, is coming from Sequoia Capital, Stripe co-founders John and Patrick Collison, GitHub’s former CEO Nat Friedman, Elad Gil, Daniel Gross and Caryn Marooney, the former VP of Comms at Facebook who is now a partner at Coatue. All are previous investors in the company. The round comes on the heels of the company raising a more modest $20 million Series C in December 2021 (which valued it at $1.85 billion).

There are lots of removable battery phones, they just aren’t flagship phones. They’re the phones you find on shelves at retailers and that cost $100 or less. They all have headphone jacks, too. And _awful_ displays.

It'd need to be temporal in nature since both sides would gleefully swap definitions depending on who is in the White House at the time.
Stack ranking (especially rank and yank) has consistently been shown as a poor management practice. It leads to employees spending more time chasing good performance reviews than providing value to the company, and in many cases has been shown to cause employees to actively sabotage other people's work, and in other cases to not work with high performers.

Amazon hires to fire due to it. Microsoft moved away from it, but had known issues with sabatogue across teams/projects.
I fully agree. I haven't tried them yet, but there is another company that uses GraalVM to allow building iOS apps.

Their website docs suggest that you can build static libs that could be linked to an iOS app. But I haven't had time to try this.
