Most of what you say is true but I disagree with your conclusion. Elon is being cruel, his behaviour is actively hostile and unacceptable towards any employees regardless of their value or how pampered they are.

Elon cutting bloat and Elon treating people with cruelty are separate: Elon could cut bloat without being actively cruel. He’s choosing to be cruel for his own enjoyment.

I think OP was not asking why we have the 'n' inserted, but why we are using an article at all, instead of 'an artificial intelligence' why not just 'artificial intelligence was used', after all, 'intelligence' is not normally a count noun.

Looking at OP's post history, I doubt they're confused about using 'an' vs 'a'.

In short, I think the use of 'an' here means it's a single specifically trained AI. It would not be wrong to say 'artificial intelligence was used' though, it just doesn't highlight the dedicated nature of the AI used.

Similar difference to 'Someone swapped the faces' and 'An expert swapped the faces'.
My Pixel 5 had an issue with its power button a few weeks back where it would self-press the button. (I believe some rain had gotten in somehow and was shorting the button).

This resulted in the phone doing various things, such as opening the camera (double press of power), trying to turn itself off, and, worse: activating the "I'm in danger mode" (5 power presses in succession) and counting down to calling 911.

I caught it and cancelled before it dialed, then turned off the phone. However, as you might guess, the phone turned itself back on!

Fortunately I was able to (with much aggravation and accidental swaps to the camera app), eventually get to settings and disable the feature.

Are you claiming that the warranty doesn't have this condition?

Because yes, there is an entire level of bullshit on the requirement (the Brazilian Law also forbids that kind of bullshit), but if Apple claims that the charger is a requirement, how can they come and claim it's optional for the intent of not giving you one?
No, your assertion is not a logical deduction from the text you quoted.

The first paragraph does not list any consequenses for not using Apple accessories.

The second paragraph says that non-Apple accessories *MAY* damage the phone, and that specific damage is not covered under warranty.

(Just be aware that in the U.S., the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act requires Apple to *prove* that you caused specific damage before they can deny the warranty coverage for that specific issue.)

Edit: If the assertion is logically true from the two paragraphs that were quoted, I would love to hear why, because it simply isn't possible. Downvotes do not automatically mean someone is wrong. Most people are not aware of consumer protections they have, believe companies when they lie, have poor reading comprehension skills, and are emotionally-invested to believe in what they believe is the truth (there has to be a better way to say that last item, any ideas?).

Fair enough; I should have said "as someone with legal expertise in this area", not "as a lawyer".

But I DO believe it's important to distinguish when one is dispensing legal experience (even if not advice), vs "common sense". Different people will have different preferences and fair enough, but for what little it may be worth, I tend to come to HN to read about (ridiculously frequent and that's what makes this place wonderful!:) people's experience in obscure areas ("I read that article and I worked on Apollo software, here's how it works!" "Yeah, my experience in 2km hole drilling is different...", "CRISPR is great but here's the extremely obscure yet fascinating cutting edge biotechnology area I'm working on" etc), less so about common sense exchange :-)

I mean, that's assuming that Twitter doesn't change dramatically.

For me, the last straw is the planned blanket unsuspension of banned accounts. Twitter's moderation was always weak and inadequate, but life is too short for dealing with some of the complete monsters that that will allow back on. I think I'm done.

(Also, Musk has said that they plan to deprioritise tweets from accounts who don't pay for a checkmark. Literally no-one I am interested in hearing from will pay for a checkmark, so that would make the site largely pointless, even if they weren't doing the "bring back the Nazis" thing)

The "arbitrarily short" timeframe is 30 years. That seems kinda long to me. But then again I keep hearing "We're still early!" after 13 years of Bitcoin, so maybe you guys are targeting sometimes next century, in which case, my apologies.

Oh, and also, it's not _just_ to onboard, it's the first transaction. Anytime you want to settle, close a channel, create a new one, it's the same congestion. Unless you propose people initiate a channel for their newborn so the kid can eventually start using lightning when they get their third real job at 30? That _could_ work, hmm.

I'm not saying you should slave yourself for free. In fact I would encourage you not to do that. Instead build something that you own... either a blog, some bootstrapped internet business, your brand, anything.

I personally like working 8 hours a day in a very intense way. When I'm working I'm really working and I like high tempo, no bureaucracy, no BS, building solid stuff. In my opinion this is the way. Do 8h (no more, possibly less!) but give it all while you are at it.

Nothing is worth doing if it's not done well.

This one? It doesn't say the charger needs to be certified, only that it needs to meet specifications, which can be found in the tech specs for each product.

The iPhone 14's specs [0] don't seem to mention any requirement for certifications.

I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong but so far I haven't found anything to support your claim. Could you please point me to where I can find the need for a certification?

A German speaker would pronounce the letter 'i' as an English speaker would pronounce 'e'.

Many German words contain an "elongated i" which is written as 'ie', but still sounds like 'e' in English, just a little drawn out and more pronounced.

In contrast, English has words like 'weird' which has an 'ei' construct in it but a pronunciation somewhat similar to what 'i' would sound like in German. Funny enough, in German 'ei' would be read like an English speaker would pronounce the letter 'i'.

So with the pronunciations more or less swapped, I guess, for an English speaker who heard the pronunciation of words like "Wiener", the spelling of the 'i' before the 'e' might feel counterintuitive, and they might, intentionally or not, "correct" it while typing.

> Right. After about 15 years, they finally relented. So, your position is, "it's not a problem, but they deserve credit for fixing that problem that shouldn't have been fixed"?

I didn't say this. At all. My position is "this minor issue is fixed now and does not really deserve any attention whatsoever anymore, didn't much at the time neither [, let's move on to actual problems]". I'm not saying Mozilla is perfect and don't have flaws. They have many. Some of which you have listed. And including their main source of cash. But this "Zaroo bogs found" thing? I appreciate that you don't agree with me, but sorry, it seems so irrelevant! By the way, how many regular, non-technical users face Bugzilla? None that I know of, and I'm surrounded by Firefox users. Most users don't write bug reports. And Firefox's bug reporting system is rather nice anyway, compared to other systems. It's localized, clear to follow, etc.

> post-2016-update, we still don't have the same add-on functionality as before

For the better and the worse, we are never getting this back. I hope you are not holding your breath over it. It's not happening. There are good maintainability and security reasons for this. We have the right to not agree with this but we are not the ones who maintain the browser. I work for a company that allows its software to be highly user customizable, it's our strength but that's not free and it comes with its own issues. We are stuck with old tech forever and cannot move very fast. I personally believe the restrictions are for the best.

> Wanting a universal, everyday-utility software product to be accessible outside of a small clique ... is a weird battle to fight

I didn't say this. I want this too. But Firefox is definitely already accessible outside of a small clique.

> From that, you twist my words into meaning that's the only thing there is to criticize?

I didn't say this. I said "IF". My sloppy phrasing really meant "that does not seem a big deal, of all the issues you could have found around Firefox and Mozilla".

> That mentality is exactly Mozilla's problem!

First, I have nothing to do with Mozilla, and second, I believe Mozilla is actually successful at providing software everyone can use.
I was speaking broadly, you're citing an anecdote. Not the same thing.
They are. There's a project by google called syzcaller, which pretty much does that (it's a bit more intelligent than that, and also includes running sanitizers, which find otherwise hard to detect memory safety and concurrency issues).

It's actually causing an unexpected problem: It finds so many issues that kernel devs have troule keeping up fixing them.
> Google is famously indifferent to user support issues

Of course they are. They have the BEST engineers on the planet! How could they ever be wrong? The produ... the customer is obviously wrong in a way they're too dumb to understand.

It’s cool that they’re thinking about the health of forests, but pulling up garlic mustard has got to rank pretty low as far as impact goes.

If spending time in the forest is a requirement for the improvement work (opposed to desk work, fighting land developers, etc), I would think working on something like erosion control, stream bank cover, or if you need to pull something up go after vines threatening large trees.

At the least I’d like to see some evidence about why garlic mustard is so bad for the forests. Like compared to other issues facing the forests, there are SO MANY, how does garlic mustard stack up?

As for eating it, I only really like the young leaves. Though i’ve been told the best part is the tender stalks of second year plant.

And all of those are abused heavily by debt collectors, investigators and many others.
> And let's keep in mind, the entire purpose of a standard USB-C port is that you can use any charger.

What the stated purpose is is irrelevant. The reality is that not all usb devices or even cables are the same. If you don't buy Apple charger and cable you might be sorrily disappointed your phone charges at glacial speeds with the one that was laying around your house and worked perfectly for another device.

And if you don't know the many charging standards you might conclude the only way to resolve the issue is to actually buy Apple cable and charger.

My wife can't even name various USB connectors when she asks me if I have so and so cable. Forget about charging or transmission standards, this is something she cannot grasp. For her if the connectors fit they should be working properly. I also am of the same opinion but I also know that it is not how it works in reality.

Show HN: A Vim-inspired bookmark manager with easy tagging
Hey HN,

A couple months ago, I got fed up with my tabs and how my workflow with my browser was consistently getting out of hand. I looked at the wide array of tab manager extensions and found that just about all of them have what I considered to be deal-breakers, such as:

1. Requires a dedicated tab itself -- This means in order to manage my tabs, I have to go back to this dedicated tab on that dedicated window, and begin whatever I was going to do once I'm there.

2. User experience -- It almost seemed like they want you to spend tons of time just organizing everything and learning every little feature. I prefer to get started and learn more as I use it more.

3. Pricing & onboarding -- A lot of the paid ones have what I consider to be steep pricing for something I wasn't sure I would commit to, or the signup involved me telling them where I work, my birthday or other irrelevant info.

4. Browser history access -- I get why other tab managers do it, but I personally just don't like the idea and I believe that a great tab manager tool can be created without this.

All in all, I was looking to just 1) install the extension and 2) see from there. So I created TabMagic. TabMagic is instantly available on any website via what I've dubbed the "Magic Panel"! Press CMD+Shift+Space (CTRL+Shift+Space on PC) to begin managing tabs.

It's inspired by Vim, so I'm trying to incorporate keyboard shortcuts everywhere to make working with the Magic Panel as fast as possible. The shortcuts are listed on the homepage, but will be viewable directly within the Magic Panel in the very next update.

You can organize your tabs into different workspaces (which you can quickly share with others) and the paid version allows the creation of private workspaces that only you can see + the ability to annotate any of the tabs you share to save pertinent info about them. One of the features I'm enjoying more than I thought I would is the ease of accessing my bookmarks across multiple browsers and devices -- simply install the TabMagic extension on another browser, log in, and you're done!

It comes with a built-in tab suspender, which you can toggle by pressing "X" when the Magic Panel appears and selecting all the tabs you wish to suspend.

I haven't been working on it very long, but I've been enjoying using it even as I was creating it, and I look forward to receiving feature requests from anyone who wants to try it! It's available on both Chrome and Firefox!

One person previously requested tagging, and I have since implemented that feature. The way tags work is that when you are making notes, you simply use #hashtags as you write and the app will simply convert those into your tags for your workspace! It's been working great so far!

Let me know if you have any feedback or questions!

> Nothing about your explanation refutes that this is a very scary issue.

That's great, because I didn't want to say that!

The point is that "something very scary happened" is less useful than "X happened" when everyone intuitively understands that situation X is very scary.

> Third-party apps or not,

Maybe that's another misunderstanding: I think Google's excuse is lame. Perhaps you thought I cited it as a legitimate reason?
Hey!

Once again, we re-imagined how to build websites visually.

You or your client only sometimes know instantly in which style you want the website. We build Alternatives to help you make those decisions.

Select the components (functionalities) you need, and we'll return many pages in different styles.

Navigate using arrows (left/right) for a faster preview.

To add to all the excellent answers in this thread: unit tests are massively overrated.

It is good to know that your base64 encoding function is tested for all corner cases, but integration and behaviour tests for the external interface/API are more important than exercising an internal implementation detail.

What is the external interface of the kernel? What is its surface area? A kernel is so central and massive the only way to test its complete contract with the user (space) is... just to run stuff and see if it breaks.

TDD has some good ideas but for a while it had turned in a religion. While tests are great to have, a good and underrated integration testing system is just for someone to run your software. If no one complains, either no one is using it, or the software is doing its work. Do you really need tests for the read(2) syscall when Linux is running on a billion devices, and that syscall is called some 10^12 times per second globally?
