Well, that's one way to look at it: you need to carefully pick your distro, make sure it's compatible with your hardware, and so on.

My way is rather: I don't want to even pollute my brain cache with that. I want a Computer with an Operating System that Just Work. Because for me tinkering with the setup of my desktop is not fun, the fun bit is what I do with a properly working computer. I'll pay a premium to Apple for that (though, mind you, MBP is competitively priced with similarly-performant laptops), and I'd pay that same premium to a laptop+Linux provider.

Except... my confidence in the latter working well is lower. Because apart from fixing broken graphics drivers, I've also had to, in my days, debug:

- package managers that somehow got themselves into a bad state

- fight with linkers when trying to build fairly benign stuff on my desktop

- don't even mention printing

and many other things I don't even remember anymore.
There is at least one report in this HN thread, and some in the forum.
16" is less popular, so fewer reports, I guess.

I'm somewhat afraid for it because there is no AppleCare+ in our country, and I had to pay up to 700 euro for the keyboard problems in the last model before they replaced it for free.

This is what kept me away from it. You won't have many users when you encrypt your files and the user has to request decription keys from .mil mail addresses.
APNS client cert is linked to your hardware serial, so by linking all your non-VPN client IPs together by serial, Apple gets your travel history due to city-level client IP geolocation.

Enough points (APNS is always connected, so whenever your phone is on) and this uniquely identifies you (even if the serial number wasn’t bought with your own credit card).

Then they have to give it to DHS/ICE/FBI/CIA without a warrant on demand, thanks to FAA702.

They, of course, already have all of the cell tower association records, as well as all of the Secure Flight program data from the TSA. It’s not a difficult query to figure out which serial numbers are which IMEIs are which humans.

> I know some developers believe that every state change in React forces an application-wide render, but this isn't true. Re-renders only affect the component that owns the state + its descendants (if any). The App component, in this example, doesn't have to re-render when the count state variable changes.

Does that mean if i have a redux store attached to my app it rerenders everything when i change something small in the store? Because the store is usually one of the top most HOCs.
Right, but literal logos or obvious copyrighted characters aren't the same thing as a general style. I don't believe style is copyrightable.

The links are very relevant. It seems a well-known phenomenon.

I think a core set of high-karma people heavily promoted Tailscale on HN in early days (and until recently). Like, not just commenting on Tailscale’s posts, but actively advertising it on various social media. I think that was crucial.

There is apparently a writers cafe in Tokyo with similar concepts. You leave distractions at the door and tell staff your goal for the day and aren't allowed to leave until you've met them (with the weakest interpretation of the word "allowed").

Your own link is fairly explicit about this:

> “I think where you have to change your thinking is that money causes winning,” said Richard Lau, professor of political science at Rutgers. “I think it’s more that winning attracts money.”

> decades of research suggest that money probably isn’t the deciding factor in who wins a general election, and especially not for incumbents.

> Most of the research on this was done in the last century, Bonica told me, and it generally found that spending didn’t affect wins for incumbents and that the impact for challengers was unclear.

> the strong raw association between raising the most cash and winning probably has more to do with big donors who can tell (based on polls or knowledge of the district or just gut-feeling woo-woo magic) that one candidate is more likely to win — and then they give that person all their money.

> 80 to 90 percent of congressional races have outcomes that are effectively predetermined by the district’s partisan makeup — and the people that win those elections are still given (and then must spend) ridiculous sums of money because, again, big donors like to curry favor with candidates they know are a sure thing.
The unavoidable Tesla comparison sorry, I am not convinced. What functionality is better? Not everybody is interested in fart apps or Steam games or other questionable "extra" functionality. OK, let's just say that Tesla has better software. It lacks however in other departments, such a build quality.

But fact of the matter is here the following: if one reads The Verge article, his complains are mainly about the slow software and some unlabeled functionality here and there. Which can easily be fixed in a future iteration (ie MY23). He does not complain about the software being "that bad" or needing to offer fart apps or anything. Just slow.

Hardware problem, not software. And yes, the same applies for many car companies, even ones that sell premium products (BMW, etc). They need to offer faster processors.

Was he really? I always thought he was more of a coach to the founders.
Yes. I don't think we'll even have AI "Drawing" comic books in 10 years, at least not the way most people here are thinking of it.

As others have pointed out this might become a tool in the toolkit that's kinda like clipart++ meets photoshop, and it will have uses there, but I very much doubt it's going to get any use in those mediums.

Comics/mangas are generally either A. pretty damn easy to draw (in the scheme of stuff that's out there), so i'm not sure fiddling with an AI to get the output you want/training a team to work with the AI's initial output is worth it or B. horrifically hard to draw/stylized. Things like berserk or the currently relevant sandman are probably not something you can get an AI to reliably output.

My first thought with all of this art is it's almost always surreal, and reminds me of custom MTG card art, so while I could see it working better there, I'm still very uncertain this is suddenly going to be THE TECH to take over.

And that's even before my jaded view that things like this ALWAYS have caveats that they don't tell everyone right away. They haven't open sourced the code claiming vague worries about the implications, and hell maybe they really have made the golden goose and are right to worry, but my experience having studied AI casually over the years is more often than not it's marketing bullshit to keep the funds coming in and stop everyone from pointing out how HYPER specific it is and what a fucking phenomenal pain in the ass it must be to get it to work at all.

I'm extra annoyed by this particular team because I followed their exploits in Dota 2 very closely (having been a long time fan of the game), and while you can find all sorts of overhyped headlines about the "amazing" feats it performed, put under a much more critical light with a better understanding of what exactly happened (and the the stuff that wasn't mass reported like players figuring out all sorts of ways to abuse it), it's much less impressive. Don't get me wrong, still amazing tech, but it rubs me the wrong way how they damn well knew they were generating hype that didn't reflect reality.
Its the process, not the dev. A Dev should never have access to prod secrets, it show flaws in ABnB security model and tells me a fair bit around how the work with dev/deployment.

I may be an outlier here, but when I look at those images I can see that they're pretty but I'm not getting any sense of, well, character, backstory from them. Maybe when the AI used to create them learns to go back and add some characteristic imperfections into the final output it will help, but at the moment they push me just the wrong side of the Uncanny Valley - I wouldn't want to have these portraits hanging in my living room.
The only cause for outrage would be if someone got fired for what appears to be an honest mistake.

I'm guessing you mean instrumentation but that's separate than music as a whole (writing, engineering, singing (if any), etc). Would be interesting to track how studio musicians were affected by that, since it's only really their role (playing the instruments) that would have been potentially diminished.

If AI were suddenly beginning to write and produce whole songs I think that would be a closer comparison to what's occurring here.
I feel gnome3 is a much better/faster/ergonomic. It works great regardless if you are a keyboard, mouse or touchscreen heavy user.

My only gripe is I wish firefox would integrate it better instead with an UI similar to (now defunct?) Eolie web browser.

Also I haven't spend enough time with it recently but I think kde plasma has the flexibility to be probably as good as gnome. I just don't like the default settings and have always been too lazy to dig deep into it. I used to love kde3.

You probably mean the Unity desktop, which now seems to be maintained separately from what I can tell: https://ubuntuunity.org/

While I think that your take on Apple UI/UX not being good is rather contrarian (given that many quote them as some of the best in the industry), I agree that using Ubuntu with Unity was actually a reasonably pleasant experience, at least in the later years when they had addressed most of the quirks that the earlier versions struggled with.

Then again, I'm the kind of person who is also served perfectly well by something as simple as XFCE or LXQt, so maybe I'm a bit biased and my standards aren't the highest. Yet, I really appreciate a UI that's functional and feels snappy.

There might be no point to their security and privacy, but they are still good for getting foreign-country Netflix.
I admit that I haven't personally used Darling but it would be rather pointless if it only worked for commander line apps. All command line apps I use on MacOs X are from homebrew and are available in Linux so for me it only makes sense for GUI apps. Also, I never really missed a MacOs X specific app when I use Linux, most apps I use are multi platform anyway, and the rare one that is not, it usually has a decent equivalent for Linux.
> It’s really ridiculous to say that nuclear is the safest form of energy, when deaths at Chernobyl and Fukushima were prevented only by enormous cleanup efforts

Do you not understand how superlatives work?

It's the safest form of energy. It's not entirely safe, alright. But pointing that out in the absolute is completely pointless anyway. We need/want energy, there's a price for it. In terms of safety, nuclear is the best. Superlative. It's better than all alternatives.

The Steam Deck is x86 despite being a handheld for compatibility with PC games.

There is already a compatibility layer software-wise (Proton to run Windows games on Linux), adding one more compatibility layer for hardware this time will add more problems to run games.

So unfortunately until PC game developers massively start to support ARM architectures, we're stuck with x86.
I kinda like the idea.

If this was paired with something like a cafe trolley service then it could be quite nice. Chill little rooms that are peaceful and every hour on the hour the offer of green tea. Little oases in which to read, write, or code with minimal other distractions. My partner is an academic and is seeking a retreat space bookable on a weekly basis (not hourly) in which to have silence and write with minimal disturbance (libraries are too bustling, coworking spaces too noisy).

The first thing that comes to mind though: How do you stop this being used as a place for drugs and sex? How do you balance the low distraction and privacy with a basic need to prevent the spaces being used in a way that creates risk for the business?

Also how do you make this affordable given the places with density are also the places with high rents?

Belgium here. I don't have WhatsApp, Messenger, or any social network account.

I only use Signal. Most of my contacts are on Signal (meaning people from work or close friends/family). I would say ballpark 85%+. My shrink and MD are on Signal. I'm lucky enough to work for an organisation that promote and emphasis privacy and security. I'm also quite a good evangelist to my family and few friends ;-)

Once I step out of that circle/bubble of people, I realize how peculiar my situation is, mind you. I have 2 teenagers and sometimes I have to communicate with "regular" people.
EDIT : in that case, I use regular email, SMS or phone calls.
WhatsApp is widely used in Belgium, as is Messenger. My wife tried to remove WhatsApp at some point, but that made her social life too difficult.

Online technical leadership training courses

Well, the US is a fine example of your realization. People like to preach "You just need work hard and you'll be successful.". If you believe that, then on the flip side you'd have to believe, "Those poor people are poor because they're lazy.". To me that's why there's a lot of people screaming and yelling about "Handouts for the poor!".

A good video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTDGdKaMDhQ , or even a longer documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1MqJPHxy6g
What I was meaning is that the models have the potential to output wholesale sections of original trained data, not merely interpreting a style. Which ties into grandparent's point about how in music if a portion of music is sampled by another artist for a separate piece of music they are obligated to pay royalties for it.

As I said though those things will likely be ironed out to avoid this more in time.
It is clear that Apple’s privacy efforts are only aimed at privacy for you from organisations that aren’t Apple.

Apple doesn’t really care about preserving your privacy from Apple (and by extension the FBI).

They maintain backdoors in iMessage specifically to preserve the ability of Apple/FBI to read your messages:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-fbi-icloud-exclusiv...

The fact that Apple OSes leak your true IP (and thus city-level location) to Apple around your VPN is not an issue to Apple; it may even be intentionally preserved this way to aid investigations.

Ask HN: Why is the remote/office discussion leaning towards absolutes?
This is not meant to be conceived as a wfh rant, I’m genuinely interested in opinions about this. This is something I have observed with companies which push for back-to-office rules.

1) exec announces back-to-office, either 100% or demanding minimum presence. They do this describing how much they look forward to finally reunite again.

2) A subjectively large proportion of employees tend to dislike the change since they seem to enjoy the flexibility associated with wfh.

3) A debate begins between two seemingly absolute opposite positions: those who justify 100% remote and those demanding 100% presence.

4) Some kind of compromise is either made or introduced from the start where execs don‘t demand 100% office presence, but at least some.

Now what I wonder is why all of these debates tend to lean towards the absolutes, totally neglecting what, subjectively, most „pro remote“ employees would really desire: having the freedom to plan their on-site presence independently based on what they and their teams actually need. Execs usually seem to imply meeting in person would not be possible without their minimum presence push, sometimes relying solely on this point to justify it, while teams I spoke to usually do want to schedule regular presence meetings, recurring workshops, both internally as well as together with other teams. None of the employees of various companies I spoke to actually demand 100% remote, instead they seem to desire more trust by their execs to manage their presence as they see fit.
