Ask HN: Who's getting addicted to ChatGPT. What are you building with it?
Probably Samsung's Z folds, one of the things Apple has so far no answer for and they are mighty usable as they are now. Ie split screen works very well.

I have S22 ultra and camera is even better there - 10x optical zoom properly sees much better than my eyes, so not only its great for catching kids running around moments without kids being tiny figures on each photo, but its usable ie if I want to check some remote street sign/name without walking 100m closer to read it myself.

Night cameras on top of the line phones these days sees much better than human eyes in the dark too - pics I snap during my night walks (one easy way how to clear my mind and actually do some light exercise) show so much more details than my eyes can resolve, once stopped me from falling down some nasty ravine when I saw just outlines of the terrain. All handheld in almost pitch dark.

Plus S22 ultra has this special mode it turns itself internally in when shooting moon on higher zooms (around 30x) - its more of a party trick since its just 1 subject, but within past few years it was the only time I could see (and produce in this case) literal jaw-dropping effect on folks around me. It looks nice, craters and seas in sharp details, also handheld (30x in the night, thats quite an achievement). They all rushed out with their latest xiaomis and apples just to snap the same, all ending up with small blurry white blobs and not much more.

Hmm, it is interesting to me that sometimes when clear evidence conflicts with an existing mental model it’s easier to create imaginary evidence than to adjust the mental model.
Not parent but the S22 Ultra has a 3x optical zoom, then up to 100x AI assisted that they call space zoom. No the same phone parent mention but it should answer your question: up to roughly 30x the photo is "real" in that the digital side is merely cleaning up noise. Above that you can clearly see a drop both in quality and in details, small errors that are actually there in reality start disapearing from the shot too.

Link to shots from a techradar article [1] (note that these are lossy compressed, even the 1x has artefact, so I put them only to compare between them / the zoom levels):

1x: https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/4pcFBCfWpfjjJAp7RQ7NXQ-120...

3x: https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/EdzEYaf85czuW9xJNnPRwQ-120...

10x: https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/vDCsCZc5EDDHyMF6sRn5UR-120...

30x: https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/FWkeGcGZTopnXgfLWDbrMQ-120...

100x: https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/oGBARcTnieEBciBDn4BCEQ-120...

We can agree that the 100x shot is useless, and the 30x shot too except maybe in some specific situations, but the 10x shots are very much good. Perfect or worthy or a dedicated camera with a zoom ? No. But for every day use absolutely.

from the comments it feels already the case that carrying a camera is nowadays a signal that you are not a "casual" photographer but a prosumer (or worse :-)

stands to reason, though, that for any given form factor if the device is dedicated to one task it will do it better than a similarly sized multi-purpose device (and one that, nota-bene, is primarily designed for and busy with collecting and sending user data back home).

both optics, ergonomics, battery life and compute / software could be far superior in a compact compared to a phone. so the 3% niche market remaining might evolve into some really cool cameras.
It would increase my interest in experimenting with these models 1000% at the least. I really can't be bothered to spend hours fucking around with pip/pipenv/poetry/virtualenv/anaconda/god knows what other flavour of the month package manager is in use. I just want to clone it and run it, like a Go project. I don't want to download some files from a random website and move them into a special directory in the repo only created after running a script with special flags or some bullshit. I want to clone and run.
More specifically, because encryption without verification allows for MITM and other chosen-ciphertext attacks which trivially break the confidentiality provided by the encryption.

Encryption needs entity authentication (verifying who you're talking to), data authentication (verifying that the ciphertext has been created by one of the parties in the communication), and a cipher to provide confidentiality in practice.

Huh? Stable and productive tools will let developers ship features while hyped frameworks come and go. Whatever survives and is in good shape after multiple hype cycles is surely a winner.

Right?! It made me feel like a was witnessing a letter exchange between great mathematicians of lore.
Studio photographers need connectivity, everyone else needs two fast storage card slots. And your comment is honestly the first time I hear anybody claim Nikons menu system is "bad", especially with all those custom menus and buttons one can set-up to automated basically everything.

I never worked with Sony or Canon, so I cannot say how that compares.
I can't speak for the freight railroads, but morale sucks at my agency.

I would be willing to place a wager it's similar at freight, on the subject of time off: no guaranteed holidays. My commuter rail runs 24-7, the only way an employee gets the holiday off is if it falls on their regular day off.

At my railroad a lot of the workers did not have the resources to go to college or get a job with better conditions. So, while morale is low, some take the view "it could be worse." I'm sure you get a lot of that there, too.
At least OP didn't have to navigate disambiguating "gloryhole."
Yeah, and the market / use case for "serious" cameras is dwindling, too. I can see a time in the near future where only the most serious hobbyists and pros use a "real" camera.
Just look for deepmind StarCraft in YouTube. It won the first event but people came on top during the second event which turned out to be the last one if memory serves
>Mastodon is a reaction to Twitter

I disagree to a large extent - it's nominally Twitteresque...but with a very different audience in mind (mostly hypertechies or artsy folks, so far as I ever saw)

There's also a big push towards self-hosting in the Mastodoniverse/Fediverse (though, admittedly, self-hosting it was extremely painful the last time I tried, and most users don't self-host (though many talk about wanting to))

Global search is an interesting idea ... but it really requires that you be fully federated with every other instance - or that you do it externally through some kind of aggregatable tool like your example of Google across known instances

But when you get into the idea of "global search", you need to define what you mean. Do you mean every toot on every instance that has the hashtag "#hackernews" (on the easy end of the spectrum)?

Do you mean finding the "same" user on every instance on which [s]he has an account (exceptionally difficult - especially since user handles aren't universal (though [almost] universally referencable, there is no guarantee that "@ricklamers" is the same user on every instance)?

One the one hand, being able to find "everything" about a topic could be really interesting

On the other ... some communities/instances are less-federated, more isolated (whether by design or accident), and may not want what they post to be as "findable" as other communities/instances

Maybe that's solvable by making toots visible to the fediverse, instance, or followers only ... but it's definitely something to keep in mind
With the recent discussions about memory safe languages, HAProxy is still surprisingly written in C [0].

From the linked article:

>Because it spent its first half-decade as a tool for those who were looking specifically for an alternative to the more toxic elements of Twitter, that led to some important decisions around its ultimate design.

I have found it ... interesting ... that while Mastodon started as a way to avoid "the more toxic elements of Twitter", it has instead, if you wander a little away from "mainstream" instances turned into an incredibly toxic cesspool of the worst of humanity

Sure, there are also examples of, possibly, near the best of humanity - but the dregs seem to pop up far more than the shining stars
There is a similar thing happening with car stereos.

People just want Apple CarPlay. Not your manufacturers crappy radio UX.

I think a lot of us are thinking, "why can't we automate this industry even further."

It seems strange to me that thousands of tons of goods and materials can be held up by flu season.

In lieu of more reliable methods of managing freight trains, it sounds like railroads put the full-court press on their employees.

Is there a justification for the railroads' practices? Do rail workers frequently call in sick for BS reasons?

edit: also, thanks for weighing in with your viewpoint. from the outside it's kind of hard to understand the emotions and practices that are driving this story.

I can't speak for cameras specifically, but my partner is Taiwanese and apparently this hardware/software dichotomy is extremely prevalent there as well. Namely, there is a broad social perception that hardware design is "real" engineering, and that software is a joke. Thus, the best and most talented engineers go into hardware, and the jokers work in software, leading to this "good hardware, bad software" observed outcome and reinforcing the stereotype further. Rinse, repeat, and you eventually end up with decent hardware running absolutely garbage firmware.

Given the social cross-pollination between Japan and Taiwan, I wouldn't be surprised if a similar pattern held true there as well.
I've said this before but these people are going to be shouting that 'the AI doesn't really understand the world' right up until the moment a nanobot swam dissolves them into goop for processing.
> It seems far more likely to me that perceived image quality after in device post processing was similar.

That’s just what they said. The purpose of cameras is to produce images we find pleasing, for a few different values of “pleasing” (recording memories, aesthetics, etc).

Nobody cares about the “how”. Whether it’s a photographer with an MFA doing pixel-by-pixel adjustments on a RAW image or an algorithm in an ISP, nobody cares.

Ok, not nobody, but no casual user, which is 99.99% of the market. For most of us, we take a picture and look at the picture. Insisting that one technology is better even though it produces no user benefit is missing the point.
A number of city names become shibboleths themselves - things like Spokane being pronounced "spow cane" instead of being spoken as spokan.

Of course if you go back far enough, even the original place names of many places are simply "bastardized" versions of the original. It's how Latin becomes Italian over time.

I assure you that "fix vulns caused by memory safety issues through some means other than a total language shift" is not boring work, but the sort of problem that will happily get people promoted to L8. It is just hard as hell.

The definition of RISC has changed.

Remember when RISC didn't have division instructions because that was a complex microcode? I remember.

Over in CISC land, x86 'DIV' was all you needed to divide. In RISC land (ARMv7 or earlier), you needed to write a division loop.

------

With RISC machines getting divide instructions, the delineation of RISC vs CISC is meaningless to me. All RISC machines have taken the best parts of CISC (Divide instruction. SIMD-instructions. AES instructions. Complex addressing schemes), and all CISC machines have taken the best parts of RISC (high register counts, pipelines, load/store architectures)

Implementing linked list in any language that is not memory-safe is challenging because of safety issues. Rust just points it out.

They're designed to run ML specific functions like matrix multiply and stuff. Nvidia has a similar idea in "tensor cores". I think because they're low but operations like 8 or 16 bit which is faster but too low res for GPU work.
the most common optimization for release builds and the one used by Linux distrubutions is -O2, not -O3. this is justified by real world measurements, btw, alas I don't have the article link at hand on the smartphone. the quintessential learning from that article was: measure and ideally profile before going beyond -O2 .

and to see the size difference, I'd love to see -Os optimize for size used in comparison to -O2/-O3 which is unrolling loops and inlining static functions as it deems fit, beyond the inline keyword (which is a mere hint).

another paradoxical effect of increasing generated code size with aggressive optimizations is that you may outgrow caches: if you're unlucky paging into slow DDR ram becomes necessary in inner loops and the execution speed decreases.

I'd suggest to read the article with an extra grain of salt.

This reminds me of a study a teacher once referred to. MBA students were asked to choose between two strategies. These strategies basically came down to either hurt the competition but hurt themselves in the process too or hurt no-one and generate more profits for their own company.

Most students chose to hurt the competition and inflict damage to themselves.
Yeah, this.

Outside, on a clear day? My iPhone rivals my Sony A7ii for SURE.

But in less than ideal situations, I can still do better with the Sony. BUT this is because I'm an enthusiastic amateur with pro-level tools and some modicum of know-how. For an average Joe, those things are probably lacking.
Interesting that the NYT let Paul Krugman write this article. For context, he is the same man who famously said that "the Internet's Effect on the World Economy Would Be 'No Greater Than the Fax Machine's".

This would make for an interesting(though sad) coffee table book.
I see you've played poundy, spoony before.
you don't know employees were disengaged. You only know that they don't like elon musk. Twitter's culture was one of staunch criticism to make sure good products were being built in lieu of ego-driven development. This points to very ENGAGED employees.

Twitter runs impressively quick (or it used to at least) for what it does. Judging a system by something like "Woah 1200 calls, that's a big number" without contextualizing it just telegraphs your naivety.The "tech team" that told him that are literally the group of Tesla Engineers he brought in on week 1. So idk why the twitter team needs to be clowned on. He's been installing his own people the entire time.

Also, his sweeping changes are still causing chaos because they have a whole system in place now to re-hire people that were accidentally fired because Musk is firing people so much. It's been more than a month and people are still having to randomly fly to the office and do unscheduled group code reviews with like 4 hours of notice.

"People did nothing really" shows how disengaged you are from Amazon's criticism and the action people are taking against it. Christian Smalls is still out there working to Unionize Amazon, people are still supporting him and people like him. It's a long boring fight and just because it isn't flashy doesn't mean nothing is happening.

"People have a penchant for talking about recent news, I'm shocked"

They're not mutually exclusive topics. Billionaires exercising unilateral control over people's lives is generally a bad thing, whether that's musk or bezos.
S22 Ultra optical is only 3x, not 10x.

The reason 10x shot look so great is because it uses the 50MP main AND 10MP telephoto lenses so it has enough details available to produce very clear shot.

I wonder if the famous survivorship bias plays a role here? The people writing this are those whose writings survived generations so they may have been good and motivated and could complain about the young ones, but eh slackers who may see the young ones as more motivated maybe never wrote anything to influence the society's opinions.
i had a dude get aggressive with me recently when i was using an actual camera. he wasn't even in the frame but he thought i was taking a picture of him. made me realize how abnormal it is these days. now i can just take a picture with my phone and people won't care?
Maybe more along the lines of if your freely accessible vanity press gets no readers does that reflect well.

Seems fine in theory, but the types of leave are different. Vacation can be anticipated and scheduled but sick days cannot. If you mandate a certain number of paid days off, you still need to require that some percentage of those days can be taken with no notice. In other words, you're still making the distinction between sick days and vacation days, you're just not using those labels, which seems unnecessarily confusing.

> This mentality is was created the Cold War and has cause immense international damage throughout history.

This mentality is born from reality, Russia has agreed before to never even threaten Ukraines sovereignty, let alone actually invade.

Russia does not care about agreements, or treaties, or anything, all Russia cares about is what Russia wants.

> I’m no fan of the Russian federation, but they have legitimate security concerns regarding nato expansion.

Russia has legitimate security concerns regarding a defensive alliance expanding closer and closer to them?.

If thats the case maybe they should stop invading countries, Ukraines not the first, and unfortunately may not be the last.

NATO expansion is largely born closer to Russia from Russian imperialism(in the least for the last two members).

> Do we really want to go back to perpetual proxy wars with our adversaries?

Or Russia could not invade Ukraine and not openly call to end it as a country altogether?.
