Ask HN: Has anyone found a good “smart” alarm?
Can anyone recommend a wearable (or frankly anything) that offers a reliable "smart" alarm function?

Background:

I previously owned (and loved) the Microsoft Band 2, and aside from it's terrible durability, I found it to be an excellent fitness/health wearable.

One of the features that I loved the most was the smart alarm. The gimmick here was that you'd set the latest time you'd like to wake, and the band would decide the optimum time to trigger the alarm within a time window leading up to the time you'd set.

It would use input from the various sensors to detect when you were in a light sleep phase and avoid yanking you out of a deeper sleep.

In my experience it worked incredibly well, and I haven't really been able to find an alternative (I've owned a few Fitbit devices since - they just don't come close IMO).

Anyone know of anything that does this job well?
Something that many people do not understand is that an aircraft “stall” has nothing to do with the engine or propeller except possibly as a contributing factor.

A stall in aircraft parlance refers to a change in airflow over the wings or control surfaces that causes the sudden or progressive loss of aerodynamic lift. This is an effect caused by the surface moving through the air at an excessive angle, so that the air stops flowing smoothly over the lifting surface, instead breaking down into a chaotic flow.

Stalls typically happen at low speeds, where an aircraft is pitching up excessively, but can also happen at higher speeds in steep turns or other maneuvers where the g forces on an aircraft make the wings have to support multiple times their normal load.

A midair collision with a small object is unlikely to cause a stall, unless it were to provoke a secondary reaction by the pilot or the control surfaces directly.

Either way, in this case the aircraft in question had the bomber in a blind spot and probably could not see the danger of collision, and in fact may have been frantically looking for it, even lowering the nose to get better visibility, having lost sight of it in a slightly distracted moment.

AFAIK there is no evidence of any condition here aside from inadequate planning, inadequate separation, and pilot error.

As a pilot I am only too aware of the possibility for this kind of accident to occur when operating in the vicinity of other aircraft. It’s surprisingly easy to collide with other aircraft despite the huge amount of empty space lol around you.

It usually takes a few confounding factors to line up to cause disasters to occur in aviation… it’s almost never just one or two.

Living in the land of the Beaver (Canada - we have a Beaver on our 5 cent coin even) they are weird animals.

I live near a nature trail with a river and you can find the results of there "work" everywhere - cut down trees and dams.

Not many animals invest so much effort cutting down very large trees and creating dams.

Lived here for 22 years, see their dams, and a LOT of "spikes" in the ground where small trees once stood but have never actually seen a Beaver in the wild??
I would say, that it is less of a prediction for 2023 and more of a trend. Like. I think about the next decade being predominately health/longevity focused.

There is also some interesting application for statistical models like ChatGPT and beyond. I would say, that text generation is not the most interesting application for such models.

For example, what kind of properties we could infer from our genome using network models.

I use PipeWire on my desktop and laptop, and its doing a better job than pulse ever did.

That said, I've had daily issues with it, from it slowing video playback (weirdly, by about 10 seconds over 20 minutes or so, only noticable when watching something synchronized with someone else), over crackling noises with speakers when no audio is playing, to straight up lags and skips every few seconds with certain devices.

Audio on linux is a complete joke, and I'm glad pipewire is there to tackle it.

Smart people are better at contriving complex justifications that seem right but are in fact wrong.

People don’t usually set out with the intention of deceiving themselves.
Computation is not theory. Theorists use paper and pencil and sometimes mathematica, not simulation. As for not being able to rebuild a computer, that’s truly ridiculous.

Back in the '90s I had made an X Input Method that used vim -- essentially forked a gvim process on a temporary file and read the file upon termination. It was a nice learning experience, but not very useful.

Besides textareas in browsers (the main use, where a number of other solutions currently exist), a fun demo was to use vi for changing formulas in a spreadsheet (I assume it must have been StarOffice back then).
If you're doing fullstack web dev and writing lots of end to end tests, you'll run build times into dozens of minutes without even trying (since those involve spawning web browsers…)
I have the vanatoo transparent 0s with a subwoofer. Great sound. They're bit pricey ($600 CAD) but great for desk use as they're small. The additional subwoofer wasn't really needed.

My unit's amp stopped working properly after a few years and after some emails and troubleshooting they shipped me a replacement amp for free, so that was nice of them. I heard the newer vanatoo models are even better too so I'd check those out.

Accurate. There’s a strong contingent of folks here that believe “the leftists” are oppressing them and “Twitter silences our voices” is a big part of the conspiracy theory.

I started using std::shared_ptr in every project in 2008. Isn’t it late to denounce the changes now? The state of most C++ codebases is infinitely better today compared to then, partly owed to the added descriptivity.
It’s more guided discovery than a free-for-all. My daughter attends a Montessori school. She can, by and large, select what she works on from a pool of age- (and skill-) appropriate activities. She sets a goal each semester for something she wants to master (right now she’s working on a math puzzle.)

Our state does require a certain number of hours of instruction in core subjects, so there is a requirement for a certain amount of math, reading, etc. You could argue that what we have isn’t “pure” Montessori as a result, but to operate legally, it is what the school has to do.

I don’t think Montessori is for everyone — I know families at our school where some of their kids attend, and some are in public school because it works better for that particular kid. For us, it has been great for our daughter.

Typically compilers have a "frontend" which turns code into a syntax tree and different "backends" for each architecture they need to support. For example, clang is the C front-end for LLVM while Emscripten is a backend that allows it to output Javascript.

Though for highly specialized calculations like that. they're often written into popular libraries like OpenSSL with inline assembly for all relevant architectures.
It’s been a long time, but having dealt with Adyen a few years ago my take away was they are way more punishing regarding your implementation (we had calls randomly fail, users not getting redirected, notifications out of order etc.), with more options but also more rope to hang yourself.

Those are all use cases we needed to cover either way and we did, but errors were part of the routine more than exceptional events. In comparison Stripe was way smoother and documentation/support a lot easier to grasp.

You can set the level of instructions to use. There are some levels that are compatible enough with modern CPUs ( something like all x64 CPUS) that will work for most of people.

1) A good computer is your primary working tool; so developers spring for the best ones they can afford; even companies are known for kitting developers with "better than office" grade machines

2) if your friends are doing frontend and cant afford a computer that is less than 10 years old; they need to negotiate better

3) most people aren't developing on their own personal computers

4) $20k is about half of what I take home a year in the EU; yet somehow I am running a quad core laptop and 16G of ram... for the last 8 years.
I think the key points you’re missing are that:

1) this is directed at young children.

2) “what they want” is really “what they want [in the context of the environment you’ve created for them]”. So the kids can’t do whatever they want.

I thought it might fun to try and translate it into code even if the code wouldn't be able to run because it would require too much computing power. I thought being able to move through the codebase of physics would be pretty useful and might lead to some nice learning insights surrounding the physics and the math and how it all relates to each other.
This all comes down to design decisions on a higher level - why arent your elements fixed-size? Why are you using delimiters at all, instead of a [size|content][size|content] kind of layout? You dont need the delimiter if you know, for each element, how big it is, which also tells you where the next one starts. No more magic delimiters, and no find, substring until, etc.
There are literal fascists within the alt-right, and the conservatives as a whole have failed to distance themselves sufficiently from them.

“If there's a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis.”

Nick Fuentes is a fascist. He has complimented Hitler and Putin - even saying the media comparing Putin to Hitler “as if that wasn't a good thing.” He holds a variety of other repugnant views which are tightly associated with fascism and Nazis.

When Ye and Nick Fuentes (an actual fascist) have dinner with a leader of a party, and that party didn’t immediately abandon that leader, they all qualify under the 11 Nazi’s category. See also: no abandonment or even major pushback against the leader saying “very fine people” were chanting “blood and soil” at Charlottesville etc.

[edit] also in the context of social media moderation, most people moderated hold extreme views, so when talking about conservatives who have been moderated, they are more likely to be fascist. Same as how of moderated left users, they are more likely to be Stalinist’s or other extreme groups when compared to the left population as a whole.

The difference is, sometimes when conservatives have complained about moderation, the examples given were of prominent alt-right fascist adjacent figures being banned. Christian Nationalists and White Nationalists are fundamentally fascists, but some of them are defended in cultural wars by a good chunk of conservative voices. E.g. Alex Jones received conservative op-Ed’s in his support when he lost a lawsuit.
Should be noted that AlmaLinux is a registered non-profit, whereas RockyLinux has not done such a thing and has bylaws that leave open the opportunity of being bought out by a for-profit

From RockyLinux:

> The Foundation is here for the benefit of the public community. We are a self imposed not-for-profit organization[^1] and thus we will never be driven, motivated, or manipulated by profit or monetary gain.

> [1]: This means the Foundation is a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation, with the objectives set forth in this Charter and the Foundation Bylaws. We do not have an objective to make money for shareholders. As of the time of this writing, the Foundation is NOT a 501(c)* US tax-exempt organization.

Also, AlmaLinux has its own infrastructure. It's not using CloudLinux infrastructure.

> I really think this is the wrong attitude (…). Having access to data on our devices should be a given.

I don’t get your post. You quote a part to disagree with but everything after that agrees with it. I did say you should have access to your data. I did not say you should have DRM, or that your data should exist in the cloud, or that you should have to access it through an API. I also said “feels to me the correct solution in this case is”. In this case where we are discussing personal, private, possibly sensitive conversations. That has nothing to do with downloaded music, purchased or pirated.

> the result of boiling frogs.

That’s a myth¹, but it wouldn’t apply anyway. I don’t agree with Apple’s decision in the case you presented, but I do agree with it in the other instance. It isn’t incongruent to believe you should have access to your data while also believing it should be reasonably protected from snooping bad actors.

¹ From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog: “While some 19th-century experiments suggested that the underlying premise is true if the heating is sufficiently gradual, according to modern biologists the premise is false: changing location is a natural thermoregulation strategy for frogs and other ectotherms, and is necessary for survival in the wild. A frog that is gradually heated will jump out. Furthermore, a frog placed into already boiling water will die immediately, not jump out.”

Are the fans owned by Taiwan, or TSMC? Those are not the same thing.

And how many of TSMC’s 15m wafers/year are recent nodes? If the majority are 60nm that’s not a super meaningful number.

I agree that this TSMC investment is not going to make the US self sufficient by totally replacing all Taiwan-made chips with US-owned production. But I don’t think anyone ever made that claim?

> Does it really prevent the Ken Thompson attack though? Well, it means the attacker has to be a committer to keep the attack from eventually breaking, or that the attack will eventually break.

If the attack is sufficiently well squirreled away in code that rarely changes then that "eventually" could be a very long way away.

However, I imagine the risks of Trusting Trust are a tad overblown considering how much other lower-hanging fruit there usually is to attack through. For example just sneaking in subtly broken commits containing security vulnerabilities.

Golang results are amazing, they compile most of the time with some lib-specific issues from time to time.

why does your CI do all that after you start the build if it happens every time? Developer time is expensive.

Scale up ahead of time, so there’s always a machine ready. Prefetch the repository / packages when CI workers start, so they’re already installed before a build is triggered. Use your imagination - CI doesn’t have to suck.

The NSA does it’s work through the same companies that are known leaders in the field. If you are working on something with national security implications, the NSA or its counterpart in other countries will knock on your door and put your people and your organization under the burden of secrecy and cooperation as a condition of your continuing research and in some cases existence.

That is how the NSC/MIC works, it’s mostly outsourced. The government per se does very little research with some notable exceptions.

CPUs offer feature flags that can be queried to learn about the availability of a particular extension. If a compiler wants to generate code that uses an extension if available, but falls back to an explicit (but slower) implementation if that's not the case, it can simply generate a branch instruction in front of the opcodes using the extension which checks for the feature flag first, branching into the fallback implementation if the extension isn't available.
While the system 1/2 analogy and points by other commenters about tokenization are relevant, I'd like to highlight another observation: It's possible to teach ChatGPT to multiply correctly, by asking it to go through the computation step by step. Note what this does: It turns an O(n) response into one that is O(n^2) for the standard algorithm. This makes sense. Otherwise, ChatGPT would be able to solve problems more quickly than the fastest existing algorithm.

I'd also like to criticize a point in the article: OP implies that rot13 is naturally a system 2 problem. But I bet that a human with enough training can do it via system 1. Cue Neo watching the Matrix.
I'm an American in the tech industry (shocker). I've worked in chip design, but not chip manufacturing. I don't know very much about the manufacturing side of things but I know enough to confidently say the industry is huge and very much entagled with the global economy. It's not going to turn around overnight, or overdecade, if that's even a word.

But beyond that, I look where our country is, our values and our culture and I wonder to myself "Do we have what it takes to compete in the 21st century?".
