The Israelis took advantage of native Bedouin tracking skills in the same way that the US Army employed Native American scouts during the Indian Wars. The skills that one picks up from a lifetime of living outdoors in a natural environment can't be taught from a book. They are skills that you get from hands-on experience.

Ask HN: Stable Diffusion: Who owns the copyright to images made on a local PC?
The article isn't really clear on what's meant by this. I assumed it was people being paid to roleplay characters in games, which isn't a horrid idea per se, except it would only make sense for important characters that benefit from skilled improv acting talent. It would be laughable for random NPCs to try and make a place feel alive.

But the article also seems to refer more to doing labor in pay to earn pyramid scheme games.

Both are pretty stupid. But the former reminds me of the most preposterous part of the Ready Player One movie where it is revealed at the end of the movie that one of the founding developers was secretly the museum curator in the game world the whole time. Which was just... bonkers to try and comprehend that this intelligent, highly skilled person, was roleplaying as a curator in a museum dedicated to his dead friend, catering to teens, and doing non trivial amounts of labor every single day, pretending to not be sentient.

Ask HN: Easing wife onto Linux laptop How to?
Hey everyone,

It is going to sound a little weird and if it does not belong here, let me know and I will remove the post, but I am looking for some advice. Long story short, wife requested a new laptop for upcoming event and her laptop is old and slowish by today's standards ( nothing really wrong with it and she is not really using it for anything other than Word, Excel -- to keep tabs on some bills and a browser ). I suggested SSD since that would immediately make all the perceived slowness mostly go away, but I guess it is more about having something new ( and I will inherit old lappy so no waste here ).

Anyway.. the question is not about hardware, but about OS. I am trying to move her away from Windows, but she resists, because that is the only OS she knows and does not want to 're-learn how to do everything'. It is not completely wrong, but wasn't there a KDE profile that basically made it look like Windows or something? I can't seem to find it, but I could have sworn I saw discussions of Linux that looked like Windows somewhere.
Not to mention Google results are so bad now that you'll frequently find the same sponsored blog spam review sites showing up, or worse, ones that just list top bought products from Amazon with affiliate links. 4-7 reviews sites will just get you more of the same unless you're looking for things like Consumer Reports, rtings, etc...
Read r/flashlight as r/fleshlight. Now that would be interesting.
I used a Moto G4 for 7 years, and a few months ago upgraded to a 4 year old Samsung S9 my brother gave me. 10 years should be doable for my relatively light use.
I don't think these ties make him as unpopular as you think. The third link is also from a heavily biased source.

Expect working conditions to keep getting worse until you decide to leave (no matter what the CEO or management claim to you, they got their payday, they don't give a shit anymore, they're almost all getting out as soon as they can).

Raises and promotions will likely freeze, benefits will likely change and become worse (at least I've never seen them get better from a merge), you're probably just going to get stuck where you're at, if you were a permanent employee at least. People will steadily leave, and the company will probably try to just dump their responsibilities on someone else, and be slow to hire replacements (if they do at all).

Considering you're a remote contractor, some of that might not apply to you directly, but you still might get more work dumped on you as other employees start leaving.

I don't know about options, I never worked for a company that had options that ever ended up being worth anything.

I've stayed way too long after a merger before, things never got better, even after several years, they just kept getting worse, and promises made to me kept getting broken. I won't make that mistake again.
I'm going to say Microsoft. For all the faults, they produce good software consistently across a very wide range of domains.
How long before we can replace monitors with virtual monitors via AR? I feel like we take for granted that we have TVs taking up huge chunks of our living rooms and monitors of our offices. Obviously resolution is a (huge) issue. Another, for TV at least, is the communal aspect (synchronized virtual TVs, anyone?) but it seems like the future is on without physical monitors/TVs. I wonder how distant a future that is...
Yes, he was definitely fired after a short stint. Stories on why don't totally line up for me, but incompetence is one of the explanations, and I feel like it's pretty hard to get fired from a CEO spot that quickly.
Would be even more interesting if the examples were also implemented in C.
I lost a non-trivial amount of time converting a vuejs app to svelte before getting blindsided by svelte not having basic error handling: https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues/1096

Many types of errors that the equivalent vuejs/react app will show an error page and allow reporting to sentry for will result in an uncatchable halting (some may describe this as "freezing") and with no way to report this to a service like sentry.

This is unacceptable for a framework claiming to be production ready.

It's unclear to me if this has been fixed in the last year or two.

I'd say higher, but not substantially. iPhone dominates the premium smartphone market, and iTunes is massive too.
It's easy to say no. The hard part is getting people to listen and that's what Steve Jobs did especially well. That was the point I was trying to make.

I've been on a ton of teams where everyone agreed we were not going to do a feature. Only to have that person go back to working on that feature because it was important to them and the work they were supposed to be doing, which the team depended on, didn't get done.

In my experience, this is a serious issue in large corporations and it happens at the individual, group and even division level. Apple, under Steve Jobs, didn't seem to have this problem and they seemed to get a ton done, with comparatively quite small teams, because of it.
Same. Frustrating that I can't watch Big Buck Bunny or share Ubuntu with my friends using iPhone.
Are you sure? VPNs probably carry that torrent traffic with encryption.

Onion sites which carry the most illegal content on Earth also use encryption.

Your reasoning is aligned with banning encryption because in all cases where something is illegal they tend to use some level of encryption.
Great, now you tell me.

The UI itself is not going to be your problem. Compatibility is - if she uses Word or Excel, presumably to collaborate with other people, she will have a problem regardless of whether the Linux OS looks like Windows.

A Mac could be a decent middle-ground, especially the recent M1-based ones. It's still a Unix system underneath should she need to use more "Linuxy" things.

Like 15 years ago, before pomodoro was popular (or at least I didn't know about it) my sister asked if I knew a good time schedule for studying. She was in senior year of high school, I was in flight school. My answer of "about 15 seconds reading then a 10 second break" was not what she expected. It's what I was using and worked pretty well.

I enjoyed that work very much. I was basically memorizing the book. No way that schedule would work for something I disliked.

On the other hand, I have actually found one minute on, one minute off, 30 times with an automated repeating timer to work on tasks that seem downright unbearable. The minute off you just do nothing. Do not do this daily! This is like a once-a-year thing.
It's likely analyzing any JS on the page. Or a linked JS file. Those, in my experience, tend to be the issue.

> What I do appreciate that's missing from many other languages and systems is the extreme committment to backwards compatibility. The knowledge that the next minor release won't break existing scripts is underrated, IMO.

I don't write much Perl these days and haven't for some time, but it's still what I might reach for if I were tasked with writing something suitable for a scripting language that had to run with ~0 operational or upgrade/maintenance budget for a decade or more in environments I wouldn't necessarily be able to control or influence, or else [bad thing will happen].
How about Judge Dredd? They will probably have those too at some point. Wasn’t the futuristic city of Dredd something similar?
Just adding a reasonable control on the brightness is already enough to solve this. Make the monitor's bottom some not too bright white, and it's solved for outside usage too.

Liquid crystal displays can actually adapt to almost any circumstance. It's the manufacturer's fault that they force it into "store-bright" and won't let you change.
No I mean the user posted video and photo reviews on Amazon and also the odd YouTuber.

And yes, it is not going to be as good as a TV outside in broad daylight. But they are almost definitely good enough to use inside with the curtains open. And if the light isn’t directly in your eyes like a monitor, do you even have to code in dark mode anymore?
They already support good, old-fashioned text messages, they could just do it without being petty.
The old HP and DEC I mourn but Compaq I don't. Compared to HP and DEC Compaq's period of "greatness" was a flash in the pan. By the time they bought DEC in 1998 they were already a shell of what they had been. Their servers had been a mess for years and their service techs were not great. DEC service techs were fantastic, and it was a real step down in quality when Compaq service techs started coming out for support calls.
A 4G module would be way more practical.
when community engagement is measured badly, its because community is being treated as a product like any app where MAU and time on site is being prioritized, yet companies dont dedicate even 1/100 of the resources to community “product” that they do their software product (perhaps because it is not viewed as a real job, as perceived in other comments here)

that said, you do need a way to justify to others why you are a better community manager than the next, and whether you are doinng a good job. that part went unanswered here and the article would be better if it had a constructive replacement instead of just arguing to be unaccountable to the rest of the org.

> the weird thing is if you want to turn off this child safe internet in the UK, you get a letter and they sent you this letter that tells you, look, you opted out of the filtering. Apparently you want to look at adult material.

I've opted out of these filters ever since they have been in place, Most providers will ask you during sign up if you wanted them on or off, I've always turned them off on day one. Since these filters have been in place I have been with (Who have the filters) Virgin Media, TalkTalk, Sky, 3 (Mobile internet) and I have never once recieved a letter from my ISP that tells me that I have opted out of the adult content filtering.
Maybe bendable screens are a valley we have to go through to get the transparent, nearly expendable phones from the Expanse?
This is close to my thoughts based on the title alone. It reminded me of Dvorak's "There is no evidence that people want to use these things." line.
I think the issue boils down to known and controllable disruption (i.e. you are an active participant) or unknown and uncontrollable disruption in which you just receive whatever happens as it happens. The problem is nobody will vote for controllable disruption and many will actually vote to accelerate and grow the problem so we're stuck rolling the dice. Examples of this are things like municipalities, or counties, or states (in the US) banning construction of new wind turbines in their county (this happened in Ohio recently) and then funneling government money into subsidizing fracking or oil and gas production.

We're going to get these wars anyway because countries with a military will just start conflicts over resources and where nations break down many will just resort to anarchy and suffering there. We're already seeing this with Russia invading Ukraine where there are fascist goals but also geographic goals with control the fertile Donbas region and then also the subsequent usage of gas as a weapon against Europe. This is just the beginning.

It's hard to see how technology will solve this problem because it's a political and social problem and not a technology problem. No amount of carbon capture technology can build solar power in India while they're at war with China over water from the Himalayas ya know? No amount of technology can stop (at this time) Republican governments from banning EV installations or using government money to incentivize oil and gas industry development for donors.

> The web app we develop has occasional issues with Safari that we need to look into. Things not working in both Firefox and Chrome is extremely rare for us and usually fixed pretty easily in the rare case we notice it.

FWIW, that mirrors my experience entirely. i primarily develop with FF and test with Chrome/Chromium as a sanity check. Safari, once the app is out the wild, is always the outlier (and i don't use it, so can't fix its shortcomings except via trial and error).

From what I know, e-ink tech is and has been very feasible, but is on hold since it's under patent. The company that holds the patent is notoriously slow to reach any licensing deals in a timely fashion to bring a product to market. Not to mention their exorbitant licensing fees. The end product turns out to be to expensive to market.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_Ink
Yep! I’m guessing one of the openly available models would do similarly as well. Obviously more expensive compute-wise, results are pretty good though.

What was the last popular economics meme? Money printer go brrr?

> They're just supposed to make sure the money in the economy is circulating in a way that keeps it from spiraling to a point of no return, much like an ER doctor ensures that oxygen is circulating in a patient's body to keep it alive.

I don't think so. In the US, the current rate increases to control inflation are not a matter of life and death. The bankers are speculating they have an opening to reduce inflation by raising rates with minimal negative side effects. They're pushing toward an ideal (or at least up a believed gradient), not saving us from Armageddon.
How else do you expect to convince Russia to leave Ukraine's territory and pay reparations?

Or are you suggesting that we should just allow Russia to invade other countries with impunity and give it parts of Ukraine as a ransom? We've already done that the previous time, we know how it ended: in Russia invading again.

You're missing a huge point: Even though all those apps had different looks and feels and even did things differently, Back always GOES BACK. It's a global interaction and just makes so many things so much easier than a la cart back buttons for each interaction in random places, or whatever "gestures" are.
That's a great post, and I plan to share it with others.

Sadly, it's pretty difficult to measure for some of the "values" that my communities run on, but "engagement" isn't even on the map.

I suspect that "engagement" does, indeed, provide real monetary value for advertising-based sites, as clicks == money. Since that isn't a factor in my communities, we don't worry about that. In fact, we try to minimize "engagement."
I wish torrenting for general downloads was more popular. I had unstable internet that would make downloading anything over 100MB impossible.

Slap a torrent together of the same payload and it'd be guaranteed not to stall/error because of the network.

Something has to be done.

My friend just got a 29% rent increase this year.

Their apartment has not been modernised or new fittings for 10 years.

Average rent increase this year for the area is 20%.

There has to be incentives introduced to rapidly build more affordable houses, but any policy that has a negative impact on house prices is a loser to many important voting bases.

Rent control in the short term might have to be done to reign in exploitative landlords.
I haven't used other trackers, so I can't compare them there.

I love that Cronometer has a paid option that kills ads. They're constantly improving their database of foods. The app works on Android/iOS, and a web app works everywhere else. And it intregrates nicely with Apple health (and other similar things).

I have been using Cronometer for four years now; between tracking what I eat and getting regular bloodwork done to test vitamin/mineral levels, I am living a much healthier life than I used to.
Possible issues:

Recency weighting - is this from 4 years ago or last week?

Sentiment weighting - is this people having issues or denigrating the product by mentioning it

Engagement weighting - are people engaging with this content? Are those posting it shilling? Are the people that engage with that content just brigading?

As others have noted this is very prone to gaming.
I had a similar experience. I love real books and hate locked-down corporate ecosystems. But... at my sweetie's suggestion, I bought a Kobo Libra for a trip where I had no space for books, and I have to admit that it is nice. It weighs nothing, pages turn effortlessly, it remembers my place, the battery lasts forever, and the screen is really sharp. You can resize the text, and the device just magically reworks the layout, as if it came from the press that way. Beyond that, it syncs with my library account - I don't even use the Kobo store!

I've actually been using it to read with my ten-year-old. We take turns, alternating chapters. "Snuggling up on the couch with a child and an e-reader" does not have the same romantic ring, but the stories are just as engaging and I think the e-reader with its push-button page-flip is actually better for smaller, less-dextrous hands.
I wish they would ask what makes it difficult to work with dependencies in Go.
Facebook is still not shrinking in the US in terms of users. So even if there is a long term cost it seems well beyond the time horizon companies care about.

Greater than 99% of web browser traffic is legal.

Greater than 99% of torrent traffic is illegal.

If you can't see the difference and why this matters, I don't know what to tell you.
It's a giant problem to solve. We've considered trying to build something but way more curated using industry professionals. For instance, I don't care what some schmohawk on reddit thinks of a kitchen knife but I'd place great weight on a professional chef's choice in knife and what they use in their home kitchen.

You have to disincentivize the feedback loop of product recommendations somehow. Any sort of community based recommendation engine will ultimately result in abuse.

Like others have said, if it does get adoption, results will only become worse and worse over time. Beautiful, fast, intuitive site though!
