Hey, there! OP here. This would be a neat experiment to try.

One related experiment, however, already suggests the result. Someone tried to get ChatGPT to solve advent of code challenges: https://github.com/golergka/advent-of-code-2022-with-chat-gp.... These challenges are very clear, and it already seems to struggle to get the answers. One the second day, it took 12 tries to get it right. If it struggles this much with clear requirements, I don't think it'll do well with vague ones.
I don't know numbers, but I would think many - for example my partner who is Iranian lived and worked in Iran before emigrating and she certainly had a bank account. How else would she be paid? Iran has many problems, and I would love nothing more than the fall of the regime, but it's not as restrictive as you're suggesting, despite the morality police.
> The US-wide heat map aligns pretty well with agricultural and industrial pollution, not necessarily wildfires.

That's not a map of pollution, it's a map of satellite measured smoke plumes. I also completely disagree that it aligns well with agricultural and industrial pollution. Northern Nevada and Montana have hardly anything going on and you would expect the Imperial Valley to be deep red.
560 g - not surprised but also gonna hurt if you drop it in your foot.

Yep!

Also, somehow, after two years of calling anyone protesting for basic rights (anti-lockdown protests) a covid denier, an idiot, grandma killer, etc. we've gone to "brave protesters" in china.
The times have changed in the past 5 years, going all out on China is simply untenable. Leaving China on the other hand is positive PR.

Just because Apple couldn't officially sell any iPhones in China doesn't mean that the Chinese public would suddently stop coveting them. I don't think they'd blame Apple if it came to that.
> in novel-land, spy stories (and detective stories) were _always_ ‘thrillers’

I do not agree with regard to detective stories, because the thriller aspect varies a lot from story to story. There are many examples where the focus is primarily on the who-done-it aspect: the detective arrives at a crime scene and demonstrates his superior ability of deduction.

Why? What's unusual about considering applying a permanent, definite solution to a problem that one wants to both eliminate and disincentivize?

I suppose I'll venture a guess: considering ending a life as a solution to a problem places a certain measurable value on the life and compares it to the value of solving the problem. Perhaps you find other peoples' valuations strange. For my part, I think that there are a few things that are valuable including people's ability to generally live their lives, but also the ability to live in a society that isn't likely to kill you on a whim. But, imo, it's pretty easy to weigh the cost of things that are threats to those very things, e.g. a murderer.
> Bitcoin fixed this.

No it didn't.

Bitcoin lost you 75% YTD, potentially exposed you to FTX-style insolvencies or Binance-style jurisdictional blockages, made it possible to lose your wallet or have it hacked, etc.

The only thing to blame here is the brutal regime. A regime which could easily take away all of your bitcoin, regardless of where it lives, with the mere application of a metal pipe to your limbs or forehead.

Until crypto faces heavy regulation and gains better rails for the recovery of losses, it will remain a poor instrument for the average person.
"90 percent hydrogen with an improved efficiency of over 26 percent." Lets see a diesel Cummins Ram would get 25/31 mpg (vs 20/25). Fuel costs $16/gallon hydrogen,$6/gallon diesel so $14.40 + $0.60 = $15 gallon.

hydro-diesel: $0.48-$0.60/mile.
diesel: $0.24-0.30/mile

I don't see this being viable without a significant cost reduction in hydrogen, also the storage of the hydrogen is also a problem. If this was a supplemental fuel like a NOS canister, I could see that doing something.

I don’t have this issue at all. AutoPilot (not FSD Beta) is not designed for back roads or complex city driving. It’s best on highways and state roads with limited intersections. I do not use it in the city.

The issue I have with AutoPilot is it doesn’t always shy away from poorly driven cars and large trucks in the next lane over. So while a human would be all the way over to the far side of the lane, AutoPilot stays perfectly centered or only slightly shys away from semi-trucks.
> [District of Columbia Attorney General Karl] Racine’s office alleges [that prompting customers to leave tips with the promise that “100 percent” of the money would be given to drivers] violates DC’s Consumer Protection Procedures Act, which bars deceptive information about merchants’ goods and services…

In other words, the victims in this specific case are consumers, not Flex Drivers. (Yes, this is pedantic and splitting hairs, but that’s the way the law works.)
I remember back in the early days of the iPhone, new feature releases would coincide with lots of apps being removed from the app store with the reason "this app duplicates core functionality of iOS."
I actually have the candidates do FizzBuzz! And, it's still amazing how many people can't figure it out, or try and BS their way through it by proposing using a crazy data structure like a B-Tree (true story).
Fair enough. I appreciate your experience, but I'd just like to point out that many indigenous communities find them to be rather different:

> But there are important differences in philosophy and execution between prescribed burns and cultural burning in their approach to the land, Goode says. Agencies tend to focus on acreage and fuel reduction, relying upon natural features or previous fires to control potential spread. Forestry technicians may prioritize large-scale pile burning, for example, then leave when it is done.[0]

> This style of burning is a planned and deliberate fire used within control lines to manage a Forest to reduce fuel loads for the safety of people/ townships/ assets and infrastructure. One of the main reasons is for wildfire suppression. [...] Cultural Fire practices are quite different, it is just one tool to help manage Country. Cultural Fire is used in unison with the landscape and the environment. Working with the Local First Nations community is essential. It is the local Mob who know their Country and their connection to Fire and knowledge of the local Forest. This knowledge is important to the way that fire is implemented. Using the local knowledge of reading Country an area will be selected to put in fire.[1]

Additionally, you may be right that "current conditions" are a significant determiner to fire intensity, but I think that also falls into the same issue of the need for localized ecological and geographical knowledge:

> Aboriginal people must be involved as they know when to burn, where to burn and how to execute a burn.[2]

Keeping fires "cool" is particularly focused on by aboriginal burners:

> The central idea of Cool Burns is fire management using a ‘cool’ fire. Night times and early mornings are ideal for these fires as nightly dew helps cool down the fire and the winds are often gentle. The practice involves lighting low fires in small areas on foot, with matches or, traditionally, with fire sticks. These fires are closely monitored, ensuring that only the underbrush is burnt. Cool Burns not only clear areas of land, they also ensure that seeds and nutrients in the soil are not baked and destroyed. In fact, these fires assist in changing vegetation structures by reducing the density of risk factor plants such as Bracken Fern or Casuarina which lead to extreme fuel loads.[3]

It was a conversation in a private setting with several participants, some of whom were trans. It started as a broad conversation about which pronouns should be properly used when. When we got to "they", one of the participants brought up a common pattern whereby people will use "he" or "she" consistently to refer to cis people whose gender they know, but "they" when they need to refer to trans people (with known more specific pronouns) in the context where they can't get away with misgendering. We all agreed that this is rude, but then I asked whether it would be problematic if the person used "they" consistently, without discriminating. That's when it blew up.
Lots of people enjoy those ugly monkey NFTs too, I don't know what to tell you <shrug>
It's more the case that the panic around IP space exhaustion turned out to be unfounded - or at least we've been able to work around it for much much longer than expected. Back in 1994 the IETF predicted that the internet would stop working in 3-7 years. Almost 30 years later we're still going. So there's no sense of urgency to invent something better.

For the record I also believe that v6 will be abandoned and eventually replaced, most likely with a backwards-compatible protocol. Or something that provides a more compelling reason to upgrade than v6, which basically has nothing. Or at least nothing that people want - the lack of NAT is really an anti-feature.

The history of tech is littered with "standards" that never achieved critical mass.

> This is a strawman. Nobody operates this way. You don't raise more money by hiring more people. In some markets you raise more by making more revenue..

heacount has been used as a proxy for revenue for a long time, though recessions often force companies to return to fundamentals.

that being said this is a game where the rules are largely made up (i.e what weird signals are VC's in the mood for?) so treating either or as absolute and constant at all times is as much of a fallacy as the strawman.
I can admit I have not read Le Carre. But I have seen some movies and series, and I find them strange. It is implied the stakes are very, very high, but never is explained what exactly is at stake. Very puzzling.
I like this view, though many people aren't just purchasing the phone from Apple, they are purchasing the OS and integration into the Apple ecosystem. Definitely think the user should have the option to pick the app store though

That's for the entire system though. If this behavior is default because programs suck at dealing with memory then that will definitely cause problems, right? That's why we're in this shitpickle to begin with. Obvious solution is obvious: opt in to no-overcommit behavior on a per-program basis and exempt programs that opt-in from being OOM killed.

> I claimed that it is practically impossible.

Suddenly it makes sense why modern software is such unreliable slow garbage. You don't by chance work for Microsoft on the Windows Terminal team do you? If this is so impossible, why would so many other OSs actually correctly not-lie to the program about memory allocation failure?

> So here’s your golden opportunity to show us how easy it is to program against that!

Alright, what would you like me to program for you for free and how long are you going to give me[0], because the vast majority of code I write doesn't even have to allocate at all. Even the stuff that does just does the obvious thing when it can't allocate what it needs: tell the user it can't allocate what it needs and exit as gracefully as possible. Even that is impossible on an OS that fucking lies to you.

[0] No, I'm not going to actually do it. This whole tactic is predicated on the idea that it is more work than someone is willing to go through to prove a point on the internet, you know that, that's why you went there.

I find this much clearer than any implicit or sigil-denoted behavior.
The issue isn't the punishment, it's the crime.

There are many crimes for which freezing ones bank account is a pretty good idea. On the list of crimes that this is an inappropriate punishment would be: refusing to wear a piece of fabric on your head for the arbitrary reason that some book says it should be so.

I want the punishments to fit the crime. I'm okay with murders going to jail. I'm not okay with jay walkers going to jail.
Are there other screenshots I'm not aware of that weren't posted on the Signal blog (as their response uses the plural)?

The only screenshot I can find shows a disabled account (not any rejected ads), and also seems to support Facebook's side of the story (you can see a banner in the background saying something about their "current balance", which would imply what Facebook said was true).
> You will, from May, thanks to the EU Digital Markets act.

Is this fact? Last I read about this the law was passed, but it's still unclear if apple will actually allow this.

I absolutely would love if I could use the latest version of iOS and install apps that are not in the app store. I'm currently using trollstore to do this but that means using older versions of iOS that are vulnerable to exploits.
I saw the article title and immediately thought of Corporate Memphis:

Maybe not a full theory, but why not flesh things out a bit here, or else link to your papers or blog posts on the matter? Or if you're not an expert on aesthetics, maybe link to the work of someone who is.
That's awesome and you've motivated me to restart piano!
Crypto is not a solution to this issue.
I have a similar story.
Even that suggests that living life is some kind of 'default' or 'obviously correct' state, that anything else has to supply sufficient reason to deviate from. Why should that be so, really? Just because we are born into it?

To be pithy: why must death justify itself, but not life?
I think that's part of the problem with the use of the word in programming circles: it means different things depending on whose talking.
> but when someone reads "abstraction is expensive", they immediately assume the implication "and hence you shouldn't use it".

I suppose? But if someone's attitude is that expensive things should be universally avoided, that seems like a problem that's going to need to be addressed sooner or later.

Would we be having this conversation under an article titled "abstractions have benefits"? Would we be worried that someone is going to look at that title and think, "I should use them everywhere all the time then"?

I don't know. I'm not against phrasing something in a way that minimizes confusion, but on some level I think that internalizing that programming concepts aren't binary good/bad is arguably one of the most important lessons that a programmer can learn. And I regularly see a kind of pushback to the (correct) notion that abstractions have costs that I don't see in other contexts. But that could just be, and my experiences might be different than other people's.

This is largely a subjective take by me, so I understand if people disagree with it, but the prevailing attitude I personally see in software development is one where people do not realize that there is a cost to abstractions, and in fact sometimes bristle at the idea that they do have costs. At most, I can get people to agree that 'bad' abstractions have costs, but it is much harder to get them to say, "it's possible to abstract too much, and even good and necessary abstractions are still additional code with additional costs."

So I think the notion that it is not always correct to abstract every piece of code is weirdly controversial -- and the underlying idea behind that that I think people haven't internalized is "sometimes good things have a cost, and we should talk about the costs that they have."

But again, could just be me. If a bunch of people are confused over the title, then... I mean, I can't tell people what they should and shouldn't be confused about. If it's better to communicate with them in a different way, then it is what it is. It just worries me if on a programming site so many people interpret "is expensive" as "should never be used." That's not a good programming philosophy for people to have.
This is straight up untrue. The only thing NAT does is change the apparent source address of outbound connections. Inbound connections aren't outbound connections, so it does nothing to them.

NAT is not a substitute for a firewall.
Subjective and rhetorical, but yes lots of people think there's too much money on the table to just eschew ads in their products. Let's be honest, Apple has a captive market, and their largest real issue is that they make too much money and can't find anything to spend it on.
You should watch “The Unbrellas of Cherbourg” to experience a world absolutely full of color, color everywhere, and more beautiful because of it. Not every city has to have the same chromatic sensibility as men’s business wear.
Again, 'modern architecture' is the failure point of your argument, as in "This has changed and is only a modern problem" being the primary failing.

In the past most architecture sucked, it has since been bulldozed and replaced by architecture that sucked. Why? Because architecture that sucks is generally cheap. I would say the past I would say architecture sucked even worse most of the time.

I'm sure 40 years from now someone will say "Do you remember when we built everything like the Apple campus", and the answer to that should be "No, not at all, it was an extraordinary building at the time, but it was rare", and that is the same comparison to today.
there's a difference between "taking responsibility for your own actions" and "designing a platform that is expressly designed to be addicting enough to subvert that responsibility"

chief example: infinite scroll.

why does content need to scroll infinitely other than to keep eyeballs on the site and make it easy to lose track of time?
You just need to do what the world did - NAT.

IPv6 is more than just address space extension. There’s all sorts of stuff packed in there that complicates the process.

All mobile clients are behind CG-NAT. We should have built standards around that instead of worrying about extending IP space to Mars or whatever.
This was basically the first thing I though too. It will be interesting to see if the Canadian government, or any of the media says anything about it. It looks like Iran is using us as a model for how to deal with protestors
History has shown me to expect that Facebook PR is actually more likely to be untrue than true.

> it's absolutely magnificent when the air is clean.

Yes, absolutely. The changes in the views in the LA basin after a good rainfall are stunning, especially taken from the hills. After a month or so of life in the smog, the sudden visibility is amazing! But then, day-by-day, the smog gradually builds back up again. It's perceptible. The only silver lining may be that the smog is what makes the sunsets so amazing.
I can also share this sentiment, though I have to add that unfortunately the kernel can still get into a state where it constantly churns pages to-from disk swap as well, freezing so hard that not even alt+printscr+f (oom killer) can react. Reisub works though. It seems to get fixed/reintroduced by version to version..
Europe has been building modernist and post-modernist monstrosities gleefully for 80 years.

Everything is either an aggressively ugly concrete bunker[1], a generic cubish cement or brick and glass mishmash[2] or a glass and steel monolith, maybe with extra facets[3].

You just have to look at what the old Imperial Institute[4] was replaced with[5] and the charmless glass box they plugged onto it later[6].

Nearly every building that has been modified this century has gotten unashamedly uglier. Even cathedrals grow tumors.

Most crimes are a crime "because some book says it should be" that book is typically a law book, but still.
No, I did actually mean looking at the hex values themselves, with not much more than eyes, mind, and an internal concept of how things work.

In things like exception handling and bootstrapping code, there's often not much a tool that decodes structures would give you that you don't see with your own eyes and thoughts anyway. That is very different from debugging, say, networking code.

Show HN: Get product feedback directly in your web app
As a front-end engineer that worked in multiple product teams, there are a lot of discussions between PM/Designers/Engineers made to ensure everyone's aligned before features/fixes are shipped.

I'm building a tool to make this process easier, so teams can ship faster. Ditch the screenshots/screen recordings, and simplify communication in a single tool.

Got some features in mind, but I wanted to get some thoughts from the HN community.

Thanks for checking it out! Happy to answer any questions.
They have a modular approach where the OS is not updated very often, and over it are running userland applets that define their own UI and features and can be audited separately. These applets are built using Ledger's SDK which make use of the security features of the OS through a bunch of scrutinized syscalls.
I'm pretty certain that most people who drive cars are licensed, and thus have a conceptual understanding that such driving is dangerous. In contrast, cold water paddling poses risks that can be unintuitive to normal, everyday people. People can easily die of cold in the waters where I live on on a sunny, 80-degree day.
