Hmm.

I wonder if this can be done under high pressures to 'grow' wood that has the properties of oldgrowth/ hardwoods.

Would also seem to me like you might have some control over the cellulose/ hemicellulose/ lignin configuration. This could be used to create some very interesting properties around grain.
All true, to various degrees.

"Keep the Nation Secure" is a pretty basic & important function of a national government, no?
I did get that eventually, but I missed the side-note in my first read through, and it was lumping two concepts together under the name of one of them that I found confusing.

If, in your description of the three buckets, you called the middle one something else like "Platform-dependent behaviour" or whatever, I think that would have been less weird. You'd still only need one short paragraph to say it's compiler/OS/hardware dependent, covers implementation-defined and unspecified, and is not the focus of the article.

Why OLED?

Why this QR thing and not Bluetooth, or is it both?

Then we need to reassess water-use and water rights and let the market sort itself out. Make alfalfa farmers pay for water and send the cost down the value chain. Consumers will signal how much they are willing to pay, and producers will respond by reducing their supply.

If it you makes feel better, at the age of 34 my therapist handed me a "feelings wheel" as a way to help me name my emotions[1]. Prior to that, my emotional vocabulary essentially consisted of "anger" and "joy". This in turn lead me down a very deep and painful rabbit hole to figure out why I had so much trouble accessing my own emotions, opening up to people, and trusting others.

With direct regulation can come normalization and a misplaced trust on something that ignores (but doesn't replace) trust.

Perhaps rather than regulate crypto itself, instead we should regulate the regular economy's exposure to it.
BCH had slow block times and slow transfer times just like BTC. ETH and many altcoins were more performant.
> Back then you could test your UI on people that were a completely blank slate, having possible never used a computer before. You could focus on making the best possible UI there is.

This is a really great point. Like many others on this thread I miss "old" UI design, and like many posters can explain why. There's been a large transition to hiding UI, not marking interactable UI, and not spacially locating related UI elements.

Recently I watched one of my nieces use her phone. She was trying to do something, frustrated and telling me, but had not yet asked me to help. (I offer to help, but not to do something for them - to guide but let them achieve their goal.) I realised she was essentially tapping the screen looking for something that responded to taps. She didn't know what would react. Now, she knows lists can be scrolled, buttons etc can be clicked... but does she? Because there are no buttons, often, today and the button she needed, which I could see onscreen, was just text, no border indicating clickability.

I've heard anecdotally that the big UI designers in companies like Apple don't mind this because 'everyone already knows how to use their phones' and Macs / Windows. This ignores the young -- but we often ignore the young and expect them to learn -- and it ignores the elderly, those with bad eyesight, those who have not before now had the financial opportunity to own something, and so forth. There are lots, and always will be lots, of new people.

And I think that designing such that it can be used only by those who already know how to use it is a failure. Not just because there are always those who don't know, but because designing such that it can be used by anyone is more optimal. And finally, that designing such that it can be be used by _anyone_ means _everyone_ can use it. Phrased another way, another golden quote I cannot attribute is, 'accessibility is for everyone.' Which is a way of saying, designing for the non-average user who may have difficulties makes usage much easier for the average user too.
I say this nearly every time something like this is posted. The isn't isn't so much open source, it's that no one is getting paid. We're constantly relying on projects that we get for free where in esscence we're relying on goodwill. So much so, that people say don't add new features because you're depending on the goodwill of that contributor and they may disappear. Which is basically the same was the open source maintainer may disappear.

Basically, this blog posts highlights why we should be paying for software libraries we use. All the downsides of proprietary code happens in open source. Open source projects don't add features you need, they can release a new version that has breaking changes and stop supporting the old version, they can just disappear, etc. However, the reality is, very rarely does popular proprietary just stop getting updated. While that happens in most somewhat popular open-source libraries. You can go to most mature open-source libraries and you'll see that the commit activity is down from when the project started. Many will say that's because it's feature complete. However, if you look at the open issues you'll see lots of activity. Often the issue is that the original maintainer has lost interest, be it because life - love affairs, children, sickness, etc, or that they've got a new hobby - arts, music, new tech, etc. I don't blame these maintainers, it's free and they owe me nothing. But at the same time I blame the industry for making it so common to build on these libraries that literally promise nothing for production code that you'll be extremely hard press to find a job that doesn't require you to build on top of FOSS.

My prefered approach which I'm taking with my SaaS Boilerplate/General functionality bundle is use source-available license. Namely BSL - Business Source License with an additional grant that if you make less than $5k per month you don't need to pay. This allows the best of both worlds in my opinion. The ability to test it out, see it, use it for free in certain scenarios while making people who make money from it pay for it's maintenance. The full details of this license and approach can be read in the FAQ https://github.com/getparthenon/parthenon#faq
I made a comment with a very light disagreement, but went along with the China=dictatorship premise anyway and you blew your top, didn’t engage with the original comment.

It’s the way of the internet, people think they smell blood in the water, get all riled up and lose sight of the actual topic

I think their point is that if a slaughtered animal is necessary for correct taste, the dream of tasting a mammoth won’t be fully realized by this technology.
Multiple declaration is generally frowned upon, because you declare the variables without immediately setting them to something.

If you always set new variables in the same statement you declare them, then you don't use multiple declarations, which means there is no ambiguity putting the * by the type name.

So convention wins out for convention's sake. And that's the entire point of convention in the first place: to sidestep the ugly warts of a decades-old language design.
The initial product is chicken meat, not cow, so sacredness of cows isn't super relevant yet. But once we get there, I assume that the feelings on the subject of abortion for those people would be relevant. If you view an embryo as a person, then you might view petri dish muscle as a cow.

As a vegetarian, I wouldn't incorporate this into my grocery shopping, but absolutely would give it a shot at restaurants. Being vegetarian while eating out tends to be more inconvenient, especially if I'm with other people and don't get to provide much input into where we're going.
> If Wikipedia can be trusted here, movement doesn't increase water pressure as much as we think: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_watch#Water_resistance

I stand corrected, but the same article also states:

“Water Resistant 100 m […] NOT suitable for diving.”

“Water Resistant 200 m [.] Suitable for skin diving only. NOT suitable for scuba diving.”

And, IIUC, WR100 is exactly what the Apple Watch Ultra has.
I have Garmin's competing product the Descent Mk2 and can feel the haptic alerts through a drysuit. Those alerts are probably helpful for less experienced divers but I disabled them (silent diving mode) to reduce distractions.

Optical wrist heart rate sensors can't read through an exposure suit. Garmin has chest heart rate monitor straps which can record heart rate during a dive (within depth limits) and then upload those to the dive computer upon surfacing. I don't think Apple supports those.

I think case in point with this is the engine bay cover that a lot of cars have these days. To me these sorts of design elements are useless costs unless they exist for these two reasons: either to scare off the curious from ever seeing the full beast, or to make it annoying enough to repair for the handy person who after seeing the amount of labor required for what used to be a trivial repair in older cars, simply opts for taking it to the service center because they lack time or an engine lift or any proprietary tooling.
> My point was that a bacteria engineered to target a malignant tumour, to be very treatable with antibiotics or bacteriophage, and to have a strongly reduced rate of mutation, is extremely unlikely to evolve into a pandemic, and is likely to be much safer than chemotherapy and radiation.

Did you know bacteria have horizontal gene transfer? ie antibiotic resistance isn't just evolved and passed to children ( vertical ), it can be passed to peers horizontally.

It also happens outside bacteria - but bacteria have active mechanisms to enable this - that's how antibiotic resistance spreads - not just from parent to child, but peer to peer like a meme :-).

Safety is a complex topic, and you'd need to consider on a case by case basis - PhD students engineer bacteria every day ( something that had a self imposed ban in the 1970's I think ) - however that's within the context of standard platforms and each and every one should have a risk assessment.

Don't get me wrong, I think it could be done, but there is a Genie and a bottle here and it's best to think twice.

I'd like to see both a kill switch ( beyond antibiotics ) and some sort of growth external dependency - ie they need something you provide to survive as well.
Or the task bar grouping in Windows 7 that I've found most people actually don't prefer when you reveal that it's optional. A lot of people also like it, maybe as much as 40% or so, but when I look over someone's shoulder (who had been using 7 for ages already) and I wondered out loud how they manage to work with that task bar, they were usually happy to learn of a way to just see open programs instead of having this submenu structure plus a lot of unused task bar space, even if that meant getting used to a new way of working again.

Or the joke of a start menu from Windows 8 that presumably Ballmer liked a lot. You even had to make some hidden gesture (swish and flick, professor flitwick would say) to get to the settings only to find the 'shut down' option.

Windows 9x was a bit gray but otherwise mostly made sense.

Windows 10 seems to have gone back to the state of things at 7, except now the settings are at 200% zoom/whitespace and all over the place and I've heard everyone from beginner to guru wonder where the heck they hid xyz.

Windows 11 you've already covered.

Precisely this sort of thing is why I wondered in another comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33776750) whether this type of testing happens anymore at all, or whether it is constrained in some way.
Apple Watch Ultra has 2-3 days of battery life on a full charge, and, IME, it really achieves that in real world use.

Nitrox: you can find the answer to this by searching the web.
> Is the Oceanic+ app Nitrox compatible?
> Yes. Oceanic+ is only compatible with air or Nitrox diving to 130 feet (40 meters).

If 40m is a dealbreaker, fine, although you probably would want to do some research to find out what the failure mode actually is. Does it just not work at that depth, but resumes working above it? Does the watch explode? Someone on YouTube probably can answer.

Ok, I thought you had something other than non-profit in mind there. My personal experience with private non-profit schools is less shining, to be honest. The vast majority of their success is typically from heavy selection on who they allow in.

That sounds neat, and I love the idea of displaying a QR code, even though I'm not sure how practical it would be. Is it there to allow viewing more data than would otherwise fit on the display in human-readable form?

For my use case, I could hack a system with a spare phone reading the code on a timer and uploading the results, but this feels like an overkill. How much more complex would it have to be to use that same USB-C charging port for data and power delivery? I'm imagining attaching an ESP32 board to it, which would be powered by your device, and would occasionally wake up, read a CSV file or a data stream over that USB connection, upload it to my home server, and go back into deep sleep. With an option to turn the OLED display off, I imagine it could even extend the battery life.

(Please don't take this as criticism - I fully understand my use case is most likely out of scope of your project, but I'm wondering how close it is to be supported.)
It is not "fallout" "spreading". It just regular collapse as the supply of bigger fools runs out.
The beautiful thing is, you can still just make a UI that mimics Windows 95, and get all of the benefits of that research.
Wow - I stand corrected. That's super interesting. I've done mostly tropical diving, preferably in a shortie. Maybe one day I'll get dry suit certified; but I didn't enjoy diving in Monterey CA in 10C/50F water in a thick wetsuit.

>just has to scrape by with being loosely believable

Like in the US?
Let's be fair - I don't think we're talking about simply swapping lists when you zoom out. At a minimum, any value prop would have to match the existing major app stores such as verifying binary sources, rejecting malicious apps, and the like.

I think the main question I see is - do multiple stores benefit the user?

I'm not sure of that answer but I think we can agree that multiple stores do NOT help the default app store, which in turn could be beneficial to the consumer (multiple stores that have to compete on pricing w/ deals, self publishers offering a cheaper price directly, etc. - think more like grocery stores selling the same stuff vs farmers market vs direct from farm).

I'm no economist but I think we could also agree that having at least a few options is generally A Good Thing.

edit: regardless, even in a world with multiple stores the point re: attack surface is a good one and one of your other comments regarding what users actually value like safety is an important one, which as a business are the things you need to weigh on to make a profit
Hehe, gotcha. I always forget about this meaning of "culture" in English, since the word we use in Spanish for "lab culture" is different ("cultivo"... closer to English "crop"!).
OMP is supposed to support SIMD/GPU offloading theses days. Not sure how good it is though.
A "a non-US spec Land Cruiser like the one in the article" isn't close to a new 4RUNNER. New 4RUNNER's are loaded with computers and not easy to fix on the fly. They are also expensive, even for the base model. They also aren't Landcruisers. My understanding is if you want a Landcruiser in the states you should get a Lexus GX460/470 as they are the Landcruiser Prado's badged as a lexus (with only cosmetic differences such as higher quality touch materials (think seats and dash)).

The reason you use specific sizes for types (int8, int16, uint16, etc) is so you know how to read/write them when you move your data between platforms.

x86 is little endian. ARM apparently can be configured to be either.

In real code there should be readXXX and writeXXX functions that read/write data from disk/network and do the byte swapping in there.

You could also just convert everything to JSON, but you're trading space for complexity/time.
Show HN: Use DALL-E 2 to generate custom wall art
The earliest version of this idea came a couple years ago, when I moved into the first place I finally cared enough about to invest in. I wanted wall art that matched my style, but couldn’t find much within my budget. I wanted items that were congruent with my home, and wasn’t really looking for pieces with great stories or that took courage to produce or anything else that makes truly great art great. But I just couldn’t find anything I liked.

Doing some research, I discovered StyleGAN and similar technologies. I found they were amazing at certain tasks, like turning photos to impressionist paintings, but were too limited to create the stuff I was most interested in. So I moved on.

Fast forward to today, the recent advances in generative imagery made it seem like the time might finally be right for this idea. So with a kick in the tuchus from fellow HN'er lowe0292, we decided to build it.

We use DALL-E 2 for generating images and SharpJS for the under-the-hood image manipulation. We use a service to upscale the images before printing, but will eventually run our own setup with Real-ESRGAN or similar.

Feedback very much appreciated :)

Is anyone else on HN affected? I'm hoping to get Gmail engineering's eyes on this, and HN is the best bet to make that happen.
Concerning the future, there will be a growing tension between 2 forces:
