Excuse me guys, but I think your comments although interesting for their story are out of place here. The Verge articles talks about a slow computer. The F150 issues can literally be fixed if Ford decides to install a quicker one on MY23.

What does this thing have to do with software engineers payment and the rant that followed?
> One needs only to avoid GTK stuff, Electron, and Windows Software, and one gets perfectly consistent behavior.

So as long as one avoids all the inconsistencies then one gets consistent shortcuts? ;) Only using Qt apps on Linux is very hard. A lot of good apps are GTK or Electron. On macOS there is no GTK & Qt divide and Electron apps are very good at implementing macOS shortcuts. Hence you get more consistent bindings.

Also, many bindings are absent even in Qt app. For instance, on macOS you have Emacs-style bindings in every app (Ctrl+a, Ctrl+p, Ctrl+k, etc.). Those are very useful. You can get them on Linux (at leasts in GTK apps) but it's very hacky and it conflicts with a bunch of stuff, whereas they fit right in on macOS. Cmd+Shift+/ to search all menus is also super useful and I don't think you can do that on KDE.

> And those behaviors can be "even" configured globally! (That's something to mention specially of course when talking to Mac users as such an advanced feature like "configurability" is notoriously missing in the Apple universe).

If you don't think macOS can be configured then you are mistaken. It can't be configured to the extend that KDE can that is true (some of us consider that to be a feature). But a lot is still possible. As an example, kindaVim adds vim-style keybindings to every app which is kinda cool.

I can say from comparing pre-RN and post-RN apps side-by-side on a Nokia 6.2 it's definitely much slower (scrolling immediately drops frames, opening/closing the keyboard and other reflows e.g. multiwindow cause the app to hang for seconds).

We have been with them for 2+ years and are moving away from them. Great product but absolute nightmare on pricing transparency. Every year the contract is a fight with their bait-and-switch. Every year they try and double our price saying they changed their pricing model and we have not increased usage. Sales people are horrible and don't trust them at all.

KDE is a better desktop environment than MacOS, by far. I have had so many usability issues with my Mac that does not exist in KDE/Linux. E.g. Apple confining the GUI and not including basic functionality.

Specifically:

- I really miss a decent address bar in finder that can be edited directly

- some windows on mac are always on top, preventing access to other windows. E.g. Password dialogs for encrypted hard drives.

- "Cut" does not work for files in finder, severely complicating moving files

- The Maximize button does not maximize, but instead enters full screen, meaning that I never use it

- There is a delay of ~100ms when pushing caps lock on the keyboard that can not be turned off without installing karabiner elements

- Pressing enter in Finder renames a file instead of opening it, an action that is rarely needed and extremely unintuitive – this erroneous behaviour can also be corrected with karabiner elements

- Sometimes audio balance will randomly shift to the left or right with bluetooth headphones, had to install yet another app to auto-fix it every time it happens because Apple is too daft to fix the bug.

- There is no delete key on the Mac keyboard, meaning that deleting a file is suddenly a two- key shortcut combo, whereas it is much easier on Windows/Linux (hit delete). Sigh.
> it is always the lowest ranks that complain about a lack of equality. It is the sour grapes fox story all over again.

I wonder if you'd complain about them grapes if your caste's job was to clean toilets/sewers and nothing else. With no hope or support to pursue any other line of work, irrespective of merit or personal interests. To be humiliated, looked down upon, shunned all your life and be denied access to quality education, water, public services just because of the circumstances of ones birth - and it goes for your children too.

Merit has no basis in the caste system. In fact, it exists only to maintain the status quo. Case in point...

>If you're a warrior, and you have a son, you train him in your ancestral warfare, thereby giving him the best of nature. And if you had begotten him on a warrior lady, you gave him the best of nurture too. Both his genes and his upbringing are designed to bring out the best potential, benefiting both him and society. And your son automatically has a job waiting for him (yours) when he finishes schooling.

The rest of your message lacks logic or signs of empathy for people who'd been dealt the wrong end of the stick. Sure, not all humans are born equal, but to deny ones right to a better life based on social hierarchy defined millennia ago is downright evil and should not have any place in modern society.
Seems to be about the precious release. Hope it still holds to their latest release as well
>The F150 issues can literally be fixed if Ford decides to install a quicker one on MY23.

I’m unconvinced the problem can be fixed by “installing a quicker computer”. The functionality here isn’t materially different from what Tesla offered almost 10 years ago at this point. If nearly 10 years of hardware advancements couldn’t close the gap, a marginally faster computer next year won’t do it either.
Have you interviewed at a FAANG-like company before for a L5+ position? You may be surprised by the process.
I've seen many articles like this. While I don't disagree, more prescriptive advice is needed. Perhaps getting a bit more concrete regarding what is meant by simplicity and complexity would be helpful. I'm afraid that "simplicity" will become a mantra used to justify a lot of status quo inertia and wheel re-inventing.
Yes, the lacking usability of GTK (3 and later) apps is the root of all problems with GTK desktops.

But the issues aren't Linux specific of course.

KDE is by now one of the most lightweight¹, stable, and usable desktops by far.

And KDE is completely configurable regarding look&feel. You can make it by now even look and behave like any other desktop with one click using global "themes" (the feature switches more than the theme; that's why I've put the term in quotes).

https://store.kde.org/browse?cat=121&ord=rating

¹ KDE beats mostly everything in this point, except maybe raw WMs and LXQt. Yes, it's more lightweight than say the GTK3 based Xfce by now… The "magic" lies to one part in Qt that gets optimized for embedded applications now for many years, and all the work in optimizing KDE itself after it got bad rep one and half decade ago for being bloated (which was indeed true back than; but they learned the lesson; only the internet FUD never dies).
> Years have passed, and web browsers have matured to the point when a native component model has become a reality.

This is not true at all, at least not enough to be able to completely replace React (or any frontend framework) with native APIs. You still need some sort of high-level abstraction(s) to tie everything together.
Missing the point of the article if you think it's similar to luddism.

The industrial revolution had a huge impact on society, discussing that and how it will displace or transform some occupations isn't the same thing as actually fighting back against the new technology.
There are 2 dimensions here :

* fundamental performance

* practical utilization

I led a prod project that uses FAISS at a bank. A huge amount of the work was about making the index practical in a real IT environment. For example we had to build a sharding system to allow it to scale, but also to allow it to be rebuilt with 0 down time. There were many other significant engineering steps required to get it depolyed.

So, I would say that if Pinecone could solve these problems they don't need to have fundamental breakthrough performance vs the open source systems. On top of that, as every dev knows, there are a bunch of hygiene components and features that prod software wants - connectors, admin interfaces, utilities. $50m is probably a bit low to cover all of these and the marketing to be honest - but it will go a long long way and I guess that there's series B funding to get over the line if they don't sell out.

On the otherhand they must avoid over-committing to the indexing approaches of today because if someone does make an algorithmic step forward and Pinecone don't / can't take advantage then the features that they provide that enable deployment are a matter of engineering. Also, at the end of the day I think vectorDB's are going to be an important niche in the enterprise and not at the scale of data warehouses, lakes, or application DB's. I think that fitting them into the enterprise IT puzzle scape is going to be very important in making them commercially successful and good VC investments.

Nothing is off with the comments, you're trying to convince all of us that you should continue getting service after your subscription ends. You're being very unprofessional by demanding free service, and then accusing people who point out this fact as paid shills.

Do you give away product for free to ex-customers? I wanna know if you do, so that I know where I can signup, pay once, end the subscription and still get your service for free.

C'mon - you've thrown some accusations around here, you may as well answer the question.
> I would be curious to know how the math works out...how long will it take those solar panels to gather enough energy to make enough methane to return the rocket to Earth?

Somewhere around a year.

A Starship, refuelled in Earth orbit, intends to carry 100 tons to Mars [0] using 1200 tons of propellant [1] with an oxidizer/fuel ratio of 78:22 [1], so 265 tons of methane.

Spacex's numbers are likely measured from low Earth orbit to low Mars orbit and assuming aerobraking on the way down. According to [2] that takes 5.8 km/s delta-v, but it's an additional 3.8 km/s to travel from the Mars surface. That's 65% extra, meaning we will need e^0.65 as much fuel because of [3], which is 1.9x, so 500 tons of methane.

So the first answer is, it can't be done by refueling a Starship final stage alone - you'd need a booster, or (simpler) reduce payload by half. I'll assume instead we divided the load between two rockets coming back.

Methane has a specific energy of 55MJ/kg, [4] so we need 28 TJ of energy to fill the tank. That's 8 GWh.

Mars receives about 50% as much sunlight as Earth [5]

Spacefaring solar panels weigh 2kg/sqm and produce 350W/sqm in Earth orbit. [6]. Terrestrial solar panels are cheaper to produce, but heavier. That's baseplate capacity, so make it 1/3 of that to average over day and night, and halve it again for running at Mars light levels, giving 60W/sqm or 30W/kg.

100 tons of that is 3 MW.

Typical conversion efficiency for power-to-methane is 50%. [7]. This is done via hydrogen and requires carbon dioxide, which is abundant in the Mars atmosphere, and water, which is not, but is hopefully available in the quantities we require. So our solar plant produces 1.5MW of methane. I'm going to assume we get our oxygen for free as a by-product without any loss of efficiency, which seems plausible to me but not well documented.

8 GWh/1.5 MW is 5,300 hours or 225 days (either type) or about 8 earth months.

I haven't allowed for the mass cost of the infrastructure for methane refining, or degradation of solar panels in the Mars dust. So all this should be a considered a lower bound for your answer.

Got a “Test dev” notification from Airbnb:D
Ask HN: Startup idea – disconnected, physical space charged by hour
Hi, first time posting here. I'd appreciate any feedback. I've been considering this startup idea for couple years now. The idea is an internet-free and screen-free space that allows the user to do "deep work", read, deliberate, or just do nothing.

It's essentially a hotel room, but only bookable for one person, for a few hours only. There is no internet provided, and cellular signal is blocked. Alternatively (if blocking cellular signal is infeasible), users are asked to turn over their devices at the counter or have the devices "locked" in a "faraday box" for the stay duration. In the room, distraction and stimulation is kept to the minimum. No screens or ads allowed in the room; and the view from the window would be calming and non-stimulating.

The idea is borne out of my exhaustion of living in a hyperdense Asia city, where I am always surrounded by sensory pollutions such as advertisements, city noises, as well as constant phone notifications. I am also the victim of my own internet addictions.

To stay focus, I've tried to work in coffee shops. Although I'm generally productive in coffees shops, I often find I couldn't really fully relax or "be myself" in a public space. I tried "staycation" in a real hotel, but the check-in is complicated, the cost is high, and the room is designed more toward leisure and entertainment. It usually lacks a good desk, a good chair; and the high-speed internet is too enticing.

Specifically, the space is provided to those who would block out hours from their calendar for "reading" or "writing" but constantly fail to protect that commitment. More broadly, my intuition is that "traveling" to a dedicated offline zone once in a while may be as beneficial as traveling to a different country.

I realize the idea is rather unrefined, and not very "tech." But I'd love to know HN community's thoughts on it. Thanks.

It's also worth considering changing your keyboard itself. I use a Pinky4 and have all the modifiers easily reachable by thumb. Backspace and space as well. There is a gap of no keys in the corners that means the furthest left thumb key on the left half is still as far right as alt/command on traditional keyboards.

Im still not super clear why Instagram/Messenger don't give notifications. It could be that they started using Google services at some point and I hadn't noticed, though I'd find that surprising given theyre competitors. Maybe I should try this AppManager. Also LINE will not work - but I've never had that work in the past. Another workaround that sometimes works is finding a "Lite" version or the all. But they've been mostly deprecated in recent years
A lot of commenters here are making a very common mistake with observing any burgeoning technology: assuming that its current weaknesses will be present indefinitely.

Assuming that current models' problems with, say, details and specificity, will continue on is equivalent to looking at 19th century automobiles and scoffing that they'll ever largely replace horses. Or looking at "smartphones" from the 90's and determining that they'll never see much uptake from the average consumer.

AI image generation models are going to continue getting better and better and better, and the flaws we see now will get less common and less severe.

The one thing keeping me on MacOS is that it is "*nix that works". I have never found Ubuntu / Linux to be as stable; worrying about updates breaking things, updates indeed breaking things, drivers randomly stopping working, googling in desperation for half-baked fixes online, randomly trying different options in some dotfile until stuff works etc. Mac just works; maybe there are features that Linux would give me, but as I spend my time between the terminal and the browser, I'm not sure I'd notice much.

I think I'm not alone in this approach; I wonder if this project has the change to be as rock-solid as Apple's offerings. If not, I'm guessing it's not for me.
