I’ve watched easily a few hundred people install car seats in the back of a Prius and it probably isn’t as hard as you make it out to be.

I had this one single mother I’d take all the time and she’d have that seat in under two minutes, just clip the little hooks and strap in the kid.

Don’t know how properly the seats were installed because I honestly didn’t care and I never touched the things because then I’d be liable in the case of an accident.

Never once had someone take half an hour because I’d have been pissed for them wasting my time.
Autocorrect kills me I meant to say the airbnb logo was red in the notification instead of grey. Maybe a color change test that wasn't meant to go public?

I think a lot of it is also that you just don't care as much about the politics of other countries. I moved from Israel, initially to Austria and then to Germany. I also feel the same thing about not being absorbed/bombarded by the political discourse but I think that's mostly because I can more easily (on an emotional level, I understand the language just fine) ignore Austrian/German politics.
Looks like lots of efforts to recreate the crappy MacOS X UI and user experience. I mean it was fine and less a mess than windows has ever been but it barely evolved since Nextstep in term of UI paradigm and feels dated nowadays.

My brain reads the title as "why not calling `render()` manually?".

Probably unpopular opinion: manually call `render` is always better.

Creating your own `ui = f(state)` is very trivial with DOM event, custom element, and a whatever 5kb pure view lib. With event delegation technique and a global store, I can build almost whatever ui with this pattern.
Most entries in posters list are complaints with how things work. Two of these seem like bugs.

> Sometimes audio balance will randomly shift to the left or right with bluetooth headphones

> There is a delay of ~100ms when pushing caps lock

Another seems objective not subjective

> Pressing enter in Finder renames a file instead of opening it

Who thinks the enter to rename is reasonable?

I use Karabiner-Elements to remap right option to right control. Apple should have made this key a control key IMO.
And what about all the bugs Apple seems to add on a daily basis and not fixing them than for month, years, or actually ever?

I can read in the news more or less every day that fundamental things like input devices, monitors, audio, or basic GUI features are messed up or bluntly broken in macOS. People already "joking" that one needs to way at least two or three point releases before trying out major updates. That's even worse than the situation on Windows by now (and MS is also breaking things with every update).

As a Linux user that uses a "perpetual beta" distri (Debian Testing) I'm horrified about such news. Comparable breakage does happen on my OS maybe 2 times in a decade on average, and when some catastrophe like that happens (monitor stops working, no audio, USB not working, or such) it's usually fixed within hours!

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that the ravynos.com's top part of the page performs very poorly under Firefox, most likely due to some animation overload. Was firefox considered in the tests?
Personally, I think the mindset we need here is one we know from war times: attack the problem like you would if you were defending your country against a massive enemy force.

That would mean (among many other things):

- important industries are put under government control (energy, chemical, agriculture etc)

- suspend the legal system where it slows down your defense (e.g. no more nimby litigation possible against wind/solar farms)

- manage everything top down (but transparent)

- put up a wealth tax to finance the efforts

I guess this is very unpopular to many, but I genuinely believe a concerted war-like effort coordinated with as many other countries as possible is our only hope to fix things now.
Good luck buying a house in Toronto for under €600k.

Tiktok optimises for what people spend a long time looking at, but I don’t think that anyone would claim the metric it uses is what we would want to define as quality in the broader sense.
My understanding is this is still true in India, where live-in domestic servants remain relatively common:

> A common defense claims that the model learns from the training set the same way a human student would, implying human rules (presumably with human exceptions) should apply to its output. This can seem like a reasonable argument in passing, but besides being plain wrong, it's too facile since DALL-E is not human-like.

This is nowhere near enough to refute the idea that human rules on fair use should also apply to works you create using DALL-E.

The fact that DALL-E can't own the output is irrelevant. Firstly, the human operator can quite happily claim ownership of the output. Secondly, I don't see how ownership of the output is even related to whether the training data was used fairly.
I hear a lot of people saying that. What I find out mostly is their last experience of linux on a desktop dates back to the early 2000 and or crappy distros like ubuntu.
"the expansion of a defensive alliance"

From whom was NATO defending itself in Serbia and Lybia[0]?

"it is in vogue for supporters of Russia to blame everyone but Russia"

You even quoted me: "It could've been stopped at any moment by any side". Do you read what you quote?

"Russia choose to shoot down the civilian airliner "

No more than the US chose to shoot down Iranian airliner [1]. Americans who killed 290 civilians in one shot even got medals [1].

"The reason they invaded"

Usually people say that the shining success of the Ukrainian democracy was threatening Putin's regime. This one is new for me. The problem is you'll fail to substantiate it with numbers.

'The only side capable of stopping this is Russia, no one else.'

Obviously it's not true.
Kiev and its Western patrons explicitly told that there won't be peace negotiations and it's unlikely that Putin will leave all the Russia supporters in the Crimea and Eastern Ukraine to the mercy of the Ukrainian nationalists. That would be hugely unpopular.

"Russias inability to make themselves adhere to past agreements"

The Budapest memorandum was not legally binding and the situation since it was signed had changed dramatically -- the whole idea of common security for all of Europe including Russia (explicitly described in the Annex of the Memorandum) was thrown away by NATO expansion.

"Ukraine will be"

I'm afraid there won't be Ukraine when it ends. Many more people will die in the process.

I work in the area of recommendations, and this is not a solved problem at all.
You can only recommend what has been shown (without doing coldstart).
One major issue is that other forms of content than 30sec clips can't easily utilize TikToks way of bootstrapping engagement when the item is fresh. Not everyone will understand or appreciate a "new Shakespeare" and it may fall by the wayside.

I too hope it gets better, but it's hard to replace a panel of experts that have sifted through their subject when it comes to quality recommendations in some fields.
> The same way Wordpress obviates the need for web devs.

Devs had to step up to create something better than Wordpress to stay on the market.

The same way, artists have now to create something better than DALL-E results.
> This. And the idea that these so called ‘VPN’ services somehow improve your security and privacy on the internet is laughable.

Actually, they do: Neither your ISP nor the government (assuming the VPN provider is in a "hostile" jurisdiction) can intercept, analyze or modify your Internet traffic when you are using a VPN to mask your Internet access. There have been multiple instances of this in the past [1][2] and ongoing (e.g. DNS [3]), and ISP "middleboxes" have been historically the biggest impediment in rolling out new features.

Ubiquitous HTTPS has shut down a lot of that shit, but until DNS-over-HTTPS becomes actual mainstream DNS (and SSL SNI!) will still leak a lot of information to entities that have a direct financial interest in collecting, packaging and selling this data to advertisers - there is a reason why ISPs oppose any legislation that turns them into "dumb pipes" after all.

Security-wise, at least if you are using any kind of untrusted network (e.g. university campus, public hotspots) a decent VPN software that uses the OS-provided firewall to completely drop any incoming and outgoing packets except for the VPN tunnel connection is also a massive benefit.

The downside of course is that you are now forced to trust the VPN provider instead of the ISP - but at least the VPN provider market is healthy and extremely competitive, which means any sort of shady bullshit would be a virtual death sentence, unlike the ISP market where you are in many cases stuck with one or two options.

Not to forget, VPNs also provide privacy on the "other end": as many providers don't cycle through IP addresses sometimes for months, advertising providers can track your movement across the Internet simply by collecting your origin IP. A good VPN provider regularly changes the origin IP visible to sites you access.

That seems like a lot of work. If what you want is to be able to run MacOS X apps on a free (like in free speech) environment, there's https://www.darlinghq.org/ which is like Wine but for MacOs X apps.

If what you want is to replicate the MacOS X UI you can customize the UI of your DE on Linux, or use something like ElementaryOS or use Pantheon.

it's very easy to do with an Arduino. Get a nano 33 IoT it's enough and inexpensive. the buttons are simple to interface. to strike the bell you have two options 1 use a servomotor, it's less elegant but very easy to interface 2 use a solenoid , it will strike the bell very nicely (you'll need a MOSFET or similar to drive the solenoid from Arduino)
from a software perspective you could use the Arduino cloud : in about 15 minutes you'll have it up and running. then you can use the API to control the bell . you can also use a generic mqtt server , there are tons of examples but you have to write a lot more code yourself. feel free to ask any questions

Your last paragraph is one potential use for blockchain that migjt actually work. Assuming a manually taken picture (regardless if digital or film) has some inherent value that an AI recreation does not, using blockchain to proof an actual person took that picture on site serves a purpose. Personally, I think those "orginals" have value.

AI could have an impact on digital art (besides using it optimize digital pictures in Lightroom), social media (why go to places for likes if that can be had by creating a deep fake, it does link back to the point about "originals" so) and the like.

That being said, forgery, staging and other shenenigans have a long history in photography. As wr talk art, as long as people are ooen about it it's fine. It becomes a problem if art work is sold as something it is not.
Same here, in France. I hope the guy won't lose his job...
Did you ever consider what happens inside a CRT?

I'm not taking about the world of software developers, but the world of humans. Go ask your non-tech family members what "is your computer stable?" means to them
There is also this other common mistake with observing any burgeoning technology: the linear (or even exponential) extrapolation of early success into the future. Think of some technologies from fifty years ago that never realy took off, such as moon landings, super sonic passanger flights, maglev trains and (to a lesser extent) hydropneumatic suspension for cars. Instead of advancing further and further, these technologies reached plateaus and either stalled altogether or were adapted to a far lesser extent than originally anticipated.

The fact that a lot of money has been poured into unsuccessful emerging technologies by very intelligent people in the past should be a warning that it may be impossible to predict the development of our current emerging complex technologies like AI beyond a few years.

AI might as well soon reach a plateau -- or it might take off beyond most of us can imagine -- or something in between.
SwiftUI is an intermediate step in this transition. Expect the UIKit/AppKit bits to eventually disappear.
There is a change to Push Notification behaviour in Android 12, which all apps need to update to by November according to my team mate. So this is likely what it seems - someone made an enhancement and was testing the new behaviour on Android 12 devices.

It is simply because class divide used to be a lot wider. We perceive things as going down only by comparison with unhealthily equal 1960s society brought about by 91% top marginal tax rate of the day. Pre-WWI world was extremely unequal and it was seen as normal. Anyone from the middle class could hire a servant.

In fact, even in the Soviet Union, engineers and even highly qualified workers (!) had full-time domestic servants in 1930s. Not after the war though.

I use the wish list option in my library's online app. I get all my books there now. It is the only way I can read a book without procrastinating. In the past I would buy books and they would stay in my bookshelf for ever. That mostly stopped since I have a limit on how long I can keep the book before I have to return it.
That is scary...
Does anyone have any thoughts on how this might relate to the Marvin Gaye estate vs Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams "Blurred Lines" case? I know music has very different copyright rules to visual images but that case springs to mind as it was a situation where infringement was judged to have occurred on much looser grounds than previously required.

Could a similar expansive judgement happen in the case of AI art and shift the goalposts so to speak?
How to Avoid the Feature Fallacy Trap
Barcelona is a steal for you. The modal income for spaniards is under 20k.

And plenty of houses for 600k around here by the way.
So basically you played with fire(nvidia) and got burned.

There is one way to run nvidia stuff on Linux and have a decent experience: run a distro that actually support and has partnership with nvidia, which mean a distro like Redhat Enterprise Linux. It has long term support too.

It is the same with Apple or windows if you start using shitty drivers from a shady brand you will run into issues at some point.

It's passionate, but not dismissive, IMO.

In a Twitter thread criticizing the slavery endemic to Dubai, an Omani woman who lives in Germany - after defending slavery - told me using woke jargon that as a white person that I (she assumed I am white based on my profile pic) should never criticize any PoC cultural practices whatsoever under any circumstances. IIRC, she might have even told me to "stay in your lane".

With sincere love and respect to all those among us who want to right the wrongs of history and feel that anything other than full and total commitment is failure... "woke" is a motte-and-bailey doctrine with internal contradictions such that it cannot help anyone who is not already relatively privileged. Discussion of these contradictions is precluded and foreclosed a priori by its fundamental tenets. It was conceived of by elites, is propagated by elites and used by elites to maintain status and control.

As we see here.
Some people think life begins at conception, some people believe that life starts when two people who love each other very much, decide they have room in their car for one.

Different strokes....

This isn't a startup. You're looking at the intersection of people who:

* Need to get away from distractions.

* Lack self-control to reduce distractions themselves.

* ...but do have discipline to check in regularly to this distraction-detox zone.

* Have something they can do to fill up time that doesn't require connectivity. No google docs, and no streaming music.

* Are not claustrophobic.

* Will visit regularly.

* Will pay.
Near identical axial tilt to Earth, meaning a similar seasonal cycle (none on the moon).

Day/night cycles near identical to Earth differing by less than an hour (2 week long day/nights on moon).

A land surface area near identical to Earth's land area, which means room for vast expansion. (moon is a bit more than 2x Russia)

Somewhat more tolerable gravity at 0.38g compared to .17g on the moon.

Vastly more tolerable temperature ranges. A day on the equator in summer can get up to around 70 degrees F, though nights hit -100 F. The large difference owing to no atmosphere. The moon ranges from nearly absolute zero at night, to greater than boiling during the day.

And many more. These are just a handful off the top of my head.

---

And some would consider the distance to be a feature, not a bug. It creates a necessity for a large degree of self sustainability which is ultimately a prerequisite to becoming a multiplanetary species. On the Moon, self sustainability not only more challenging, but ultimately not really necessary given it's just a stone's throw away from a resupply. And necessity really is the mother of invention.

Ultimately I also don't even view Mars as a goal (though it may be able to over millennia developed into an amazing place, and I would be the first to sign on for a mission to such), so much as a stepping stone. By the time the first human settlement is established on Mars, we should be looking outward from there as well. Titan being a possible next destination.

Ask HN: Scalability strategy for updating massive node trees
I created an economic engine app "Rovas"[1] that allows project owners to share rewards that their projects (A) receive, with other - "shareholder" projects (B). Individuals who work on the projects can also be shareholders. The shareholder projects (B) can also have individual and project shareholders. Rewarding one project thus might result in rewarding tens, or hundreds of thousands nodes (individuals, or projects). The rewarding act might be very frequent, in the ideal scenario maybe every second, or even faster. All rewards to individuals and projects must be recorded for audit purposes.

Example: An outdoors activities web portal has ~10^5 users, each of which is required to pay for consuming the content every time they do so, which might be daily. The portal was created by ~10 people (developers, copy writers, marketing folks,..) and uses products of other projects, like the Apache web server, MySQL database, fonts, OpenStreetMap tiles, with their own teams of developers... All of these projects and their workers share a bit of every payment made by the portal user.

Rovas is a POC that has been working for hundreds, to thousands of nodes. I chose a strategy, where a payment is not processed immediately but batched, together with other payments that arrive within (I think) 10 minutes. I am looking for an architecture/strategy to tackle the problem on a scale of millions of nodes updated frequently. I am not sure blockchain will help me given its own scalability problems, but I follow that space very sporadically and it might be the case that a similar problem is/has been solved by some implementation.
Rovas is a long haul project, so even futuristic concepts interest me (quantum computing?).
