> They're constantly pushing forward with new software features, that's part of the problem, new features means new bugs.

Only if you don't invest in testing - and Apple sadly has fallen to the trap of "bananaware" (ripens at the customer) as well as everyone else. "We ship it once it is good quality" has been replaced by "we ship it as soon as it can survive the presentation at WWDC and fix the bugs later on". For commodity manufacturers this can be excused by low profit margins (even though I don't like it), but Apple could literally double their developer headcount and they wouldn't feel it in their bottom line.

React may be "dominated by 1 person projects" but that's very misleading towards the number of big React projects; those dwarf the volume in other frameworks as well. All you're really saying is there are no 1 person Angular projects.
> It seems to me that using raw web components you would end up writing your own custom framework, which would be yet another framework but with probably less support.

Come on, why even ask this, you already know the answer.

Writing frameworks (or text editors, or...) is fun, and the original dev will be long gone when the warts of the framework become obvious and drag down the project (5+ years from the initial launch date).
This is exactly why we should all support Cornish devolution.
You can build "AND" and other gates directly with a combination of n and p transistors. In fact you can even extend "AND" gates to accept an arbitrary number of inputs. If you wanted to build an equivalent multi input "AND" gate with "NAND" you would end up wasting a lot of transistors.
> we don't go around tearing down old infrastructure

All the time! And the stuff we don't tear down, we retrofit.
One of the things I really hate about the macOS login UX is that it doesn't give any information about what's going on.

For example when an AD account is locked or your account is valid but you don't have access to log in to that particular machine, Windows will tell you after your enter the username and password successfully. macOS will just shake the username field just as if you mistyped your username or password. I know you can't tell which one is wrong (as it can be used to enumerate accounts) but an invalid login or account locked out message would separate these 2 cases nicely.

This is really confusing for users. Just tell us what's going on.
Please don't misrepresent the OP. The writer does not say he is "upset about lack of depth". His claim is that the Quantum article contains wildly false information.

Specifically, he claims a simulation was presented as an experiment.
All popular articles about quantum physics are in a way bullshit, false and misrepresentation.

Because the only way to accurately talk about quantum physics is to show the math and only talk about that. The famous "shut up and calculate".

You can't have it both ways, you either accept gross misrepresentations in the popular science press, or you just don't have popular science press.
Feels like a regional and/or technical issue to me. Never had issues with 5G in Germany and I'm not aware of widespread problems here (correct me if I'm wrong). It's been fantastic with significantly better bandwidth wherever I have coverage (primarily big cities). Brief google search tells me that T-Online had 64k 5G base stations here in 2020.

From the above article:

> And there is another issue.

> "We are using something called non-standalone 5G, which is the very first version of 5G," Mr Wood said.

> "It only delivers the 5G signal from the handset to the tower. Everything behind that is still 4G.

That can't be the issue. We're doing the same thing here.
The point of my comparison was price. You can find better smartphones too.

I've never not had an extremely disappointing experience with Apple Geniuses. Absolutely horrendous support. Completely incompetent people running down a script.

That said, I've had two trusted Apple Premium Partners that I would go to when I was still an Apple user and they were an absolute delight. Unfortunately back then I was living in a major city in Germany with tons of Premium partners, so nowadays that I don't really have a homebase and only have an iPhone I don't really know where to go for competent support.

In my experience React + TypeScript is a match made in heaven. You are basically writing pure TypeScript in TSX.
I find it a bit difficult to navigate the open source alternatives. Some needs a lot of work for downloading / transforming the data, and others are split into multiple software components.

Are there any plug-and-play options where I can just download a docker image and get a simple backend that can be used for frontend maps and an address auto-complete? Alternatively a separate docker image for the tile server (if that is the right terminology). Preferably with an option to only include data for certain geographical areas to save space.
I encourage juniors in my team to interview staff level engineers all the time.

A significant part of a staff level and higher engineer is mentoring. I am looking to you to help train the juniors.

If you appear intimidating, the juniors are not going to be comfortable reaching out to you for help. If you appear condescending, same effect.

I explicitly ask the juniors to not evaluate the candidate from a technical skills point of view. Obviously that's a waste of time and an insult to the senior person. Instead, I ask them to evaluate the candidate from a human perspective. Does the candidate use every opportunity to showcase his/ her seniority? Does the candidate put you at ease?

Oh this totally reminds me of the BLoC pattern[0][1] that everyone kind of... really gritted their teeth through. It just wasn't at all an appealing way to structure data flow and I was kind of surprised that it was the architectural choice that was being pushed.

90% of the time, it felt like simple IoC plus an app-wide singletons would have been enough for most apps-- trying to get everyone to aadopt BLoC was painful and kinda meh. It's probably just that I never developed a sufficiently big app at scale with lots of devs to see why BLoC was the best way.

That said, I'm also reminded of the Boring Flutter Development Show[2], quite possibly the best produced resource I've ever seen as an intro and ongoing guide to a piece of tech. It is excellent.

Show HN: Mini Christmas Trees with addressable LEDs and RP2040-based controller
Hello HN, these Mini Trees have a custom circuit board with WS2812 addressable LEDs on one side and a controller using an RP2040 microcontroller on the other, all inside a CNC'd Foamex PVC case. They stand around 23cm (9") tall.

The firmware is written in MicroPython, which can be modified or replaced. Power is provided via USB-C, which is also used for programming.

There is also a web-based animation sequencer to create lighting sequences in time to arbitrary audio, examples of which are on the linked page. This is similar to xLights (https://xlights.org/), but much less powerful, and we hope to release firmware to interface directly with xLights soon.

My colleague and I started kicking the idea for these around after making some custom circuit boards for another project, and thought we'd have a go at making smaller versions of some much larger exhibits we had made using 12 volt WS1812 bullet pixels.

I hope you enjoy them, Merry Christmas!
True dynamic range yes, but smartphones have better HDR bracketing software. So my phone also beat my middle-end DSLR in backlit scenarios.
> As I’ve become a more experienced manager, I’ve stopped giving this advice. I still believe it’s the correct advice

No it is not the correct advice. It is an oversimplification. It might be an easy rule to remember and follow, but like many of those it fails to deal adequately with the subtleties of the real world.
Nobody (not even me) cares about the Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev model except a handful of scientists.
Phones are better at gaming. You can emulate pocket sized handheld gaming devices as well. Perhaps you are only talking about popular games like Candy Crush and the such but there are a lot of heavyweight titles released for mobile platforms as well.
I agree it's rather sad to see such an over-the-top presentation in Quanta. Staying more grounded would definitely serve their longer term credibility.

Perhaps surprisingly, NYTimes did better this time: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/30/science/physics-wormhole-...

They quote Scott Aaronson:

“The most important thing I’d want New York Times readers to understand is this,” Scott Aaronson, a quantum computing expert at the University of Texas in Austin, wrote in an email. “If this experiment has brought a wormhole into actual physical existence, then a strong case could be made that you, too, bring a wormhole into actual physical existence every time you sketch one with pen and paper.”

After selling my A7S I was at a loss for a F2C recording... thought about a Brio, in the end used the front-facing iPad Pro camera.

With lots of natural light (etc.) quality at non-Fullscreen, typical viewing resolution&size, was 'unnoticeably good'

I was very very surprised. I think a lot of people don't realise just how far tech has come (+the right photo/video-ography skills).

> Do thieves and robbers get shot on a regular basis and it just doesn't make headline news?

It depends on your definition of "regularly".

"From 2000 to 2021, fewer than 3% of 433 active attacks in the U.S. ended with a civilian firing back, according to the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training Center at Texas State University. The researchers define the attacks as one or more people targeting multiple people." https://www.fox13news.com/news/how-often-does-a-good-guy-wit...

Obviously, the solution is more good guys with guns.
I was looking for one recently, and yeah, it's slim pickings (and even slimmer in terms of reviews etc. on sites like The Verge compared to when I was last looking at cameras) - not helped by chip shortages limiting availability (and raising prices) of the models that do 'exist'.

I wanted one because I don't want my nice-photo-taking tied to my phone, I don't want that to be a consideration every time I buy a phone, and I don't otherwise need an expensive phone (my last few have cost <£200 and been kept years each, I don't play games or do anything intensive with it). I'd rather have a ~£200 compact camera and a ~£200 phone, with independent replacement cycles, than a ~£400 phone (that would be a much less capable camera, though admittedly the software editing/ML stuff for amateur stuff (which I definitely am, I just want holiday/walk snaps etc.) is quite nice these days). I settled on a used but pretty mint condition Panasonic TZ100, and can keep using my Nokia 3.4 a while longer. (Though it does reboot itself multiple times a day, so its days are still numbered.)
I struggle to understand how mid range digital compact cameras are so bad. I have to use them for work (for reasons below) and usually at night with the flash.

So the camera flash is obviously far superior to a phone flash but apart from that, my phone (Note 20 Ultra) dominates all the Olympus and Ricoh cameras I've had in recent years. When it's raining or foggy and I have to take a photo, I am forced to use my phone instead of the company supplied camera. If I need to do a video clip, again the phone is my go to. Looking towards the sun, same again.

If I could use my phone for all the photographic records I take at work then I would but I still rely on the form factor of the camera which is more resilient amongst tools and dirt and on-screen display which shows a sequential photo/filename reference that I can quickly note down.

How does a £1000 phone have such an incredible set of cameras which destroy the dedicated camera on a £300-400 digital compact?
I really really wish that apple / google / samsung came out with official hardware game pads that snapped to the phones and had direct support at the os level for game developers to easily support. We're missing out on so many good handheld experiences by being limited to touch only.

No. In fact if you shot a person robbing you in San Francisco you would be jailed and likely charged.

This is not the case in all states but in California you cannot shot a thief unless he is threatening you will deadly force.

I'm entitled to express a (hyperbolic) opinion without receiving personal abuse. FWIW, I haven't ever met anyone that uses it. And yet for years, it's been taking up screen real-estate, and nagging me to sign up. If anything's douchie, it's that.

And yes, I've been using Firefox long enough to know that Pocket was an acquisition.
D5300 is APS-C. I know because I have its descendent, the D5600. I wish it were full frame, especially this time of year. I should probably sell it since I never use it now that I have a good phone camera, but I would eventually miss my 70-300.
> They call for further study at the end

Tangent: most papers seem to do that… which confuses me. It feels like it’s basically saying to discard everything the paper talked about because to be actually sure you’d need to investigate more than they did.

Is it a pro forma formula or does it really mean what I understand it to?
> The Phone has strong AI processing, I wish I disabled it

It's still over-sharpened and probably used multiple shots to get high dynamic range, it's much more noisy too, and shows less resolution

Also the d5500 is a lower tier camera from 2015, the phone was released in 2021

I mean yes they are - there are so many manufacturers.

With the same argument you can say - open access to every device which will diminish a lot of the security by increasing the attack vector.

Why isn't my TV open or my Xbox or my PS? Why can't I edit the code of Windows is not such a stretch based on your arguments?

Also why should companies be forced to open stuff? They market it as a closed system - maybe respect the consumers who like closed systems. There are options for you - it's other vendors. So you have a choice. But even if you didn't there is no reason or expectation you should have a choice if the market doesn't want to cater.

One possible solution is for apple and other manufacturers to be forced to sell developer devices where the restrictions are minimal or non-existent. That I think will solve your quarrel.
I'm not that interested as I'd prefer to count each move and prove it that way, but perhaps Peter (orlp) is interested?
Some people do, but you can easily put speed cameras where there are some accidents. It's more honest that way in my opinion. I've driven in Germany and their cameras don't make me go much slower, just annoy:

- A series of 80-60 speed changes on straight road, then just when you are annoyed and don't slow, there is a speed trap.

- Badly marked school zone, I was doing 40km/h already, then a black painted camera hidden in bushes caught me.
Huh. When I compare RAW output from my D5300 (using the default 18-55 mm lens) and a Pixel 6, the difference is staggering. Granted, the JPG output from the Pixel is usually on par with the JPG from the DSLR, high dynamic range is something where the Pixel is even a bit better most of the time.

But once you take RAW photos and hit the Auto button in Lightroom, the Pixel doesn't hold a chance against the D5300.
Even if you have been a professional photographer for a significant length of time, you shouldn't use it to try to appeal to authority. However, a cursory glance at your profile tells me you aren't even 30, come on mate. Unless you were a professional photographer before your 10th birthday I really don't think your experience is better than any other enthusiast.

Did you do a real image diff on the same setup? I doubt it. Phone cameras have come a long, long way but a lot of the advances are through "smoothing" things out through software.
> Not true. Go to Eastern Europe and see.

Oh oh, "yes true", and your note confirms it... What did Eastern Europe aggressively do, in the last century? Destroy aristocracy. So they are at the opposite end of that particular scale.
I like the idea of a much larger kindle, but I'm not sure whether I'd use the 'writing' capability very much. Also it seems much heavier.

How the parameters are estimated it not the message.

In statistics there are latin letters and greek letters. When you see a symbol denoted as a greek letter then that is a population parameter. When you see a latin letter that is a sample estimate. It could be Frequentist, Bayesian, Likelihoodist, Fiducial, Empirical Bayes, etc. Theoretical population greeks or sample calculated latins.
You have to realize that the claim of "vaccines stop the spread" is massively far from what actually happened -- vaccinated people spread the virus literally millions of times and thousands died as a result.

The Sony RX100 series would be in most top lists. Though personally I'm not sure why they went with a slower lens from the mark 6 onwards. The ZV1 continues with the a similar lens from earlier models. I have the RX100 mark iii, that's still quite good.
> I'm even using Kit to build out simple REST API endpoints, it's so simple.

YUP. SvelteKit is one of the things that made me throw out my 3 tier (3 repo) project boilerplate. I mean I always knew I was slowing myself down (I'd look out the window and see all the Rails kids frolicking wild and free, not a care in the world), but I just didn't feel like I could trust my API code to Nuxt for some reason. I don't know what it was. Nuxt 3 is much better since they explicitly call out API routes but...

SvelteKit properly making space for API endpoints and being so light that I felt I could just pop a few endpoints in there and it absolutely broke that barrier for me. Now I quite often mix back and frontend, and even streaming endpoints are fine too (they added support for streaming responses).
I don't think there is winning this with you, but you are comparing apples to oranges. The TFA mentioned above is "news" because it was reporting on the interview SBF just did, not a recap of the whole thing.

The CNBC article is "news" because it was breaking the news on the back door, transfer of funds, etc. It was new news at the time. Here is CNBCs coverage of the interview where you can compare to NYT apples to apples: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/30/former-ftx-ceo-sam-bankman-f...

There is a cadence to the news cycle. Not every articles is summative. Some are reporting on latest developments, hot takes, etc.
They have the same used price, which is the point of my comparison.

Yes there's HDR bracketing, but we only care about the result.

Bias declaration: I'm a hired Bloomtech grad, so overall a satisfied customer/student.

Meta comment: It's intersting to see how many comments on any Bloomtech/Lambda post are very knee-jerk in nature, mostly negative some positive. And to be clear, I'd say most are thoughtful. The thing that strikes me is that I can't tell if this is normal HN tenor for a tech story or if it's just because I have opinions on the subject. The only other stories witg comments that strike me as remotely similar are those dealing with privacy.

So an ask, if Bloomtech is something you don't care about, neither positively nor negatively, do you find the comments for this article of average "pitch"?
