Tantacrul's original video was very good, if you haven't seen it already.

Here's a very straightforward example: zoom. The shortcut keys for zoom are ctrl 1/2/3, rather than ctrl +/-, or even just +/-. Further, the zoom options are in/normal/out/selection/toggle. None of those options will zoom to the full audio clip. Instead, to do that you need to look under "track size", which has the options "fit to width" (ctrl f) and "fit to height" (ctrl shift f). The CPO at the company where I work likes to say "if you do something differently from the rest of the marketplace, you need a damned good justification for doing so".

I get that Audacity has grown organically as a product over decades, and so its user interface may have preceded various conventions that have arisen over time in software, but it is extremely idiosyncratic.
I want to add a comment so people can watch this video about poor folks doing sea mining in Indonesia.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYAw26nSzBA&t=657s

I'm not posting this as a critique of the parent link, just as additional data about this topic.

Summary: In many Indonesian islands, there used to be large deposits of tin. Those have mostly been mined out, and sea floor mining has taken over. There are approved commercial companies that do it, but the video shows poor folks who are doing offshore seafloor mining "illegally" in very unsafe conditions. In either case, the practice rips up the sea bed and causes ecology problems.

* I quote "illegally" because the system largely sounds like it's powered by bribes to get the right certifications.

Indeed, mixed signal simulations would be very useful, I reckon, for people dealing with sensors and that kind of stuff. Might as well simulate it before building it. It's currently possible with falstad's open source code base as well, you just have to program inputs and outputs but it's not very ergonomical let's put it that way.

In any case, I always encourage trying to be as open as you can with the software, this encourages collaboration/cooperation (and of course is just better for everyone, in most cases!).

I think (like others here) any slightly more advanced user would be more comfortable/productive in a 2D interface most of the time. But the option of having 3D for blinkenlights is sure nice :)

(also a great accessibility for people who can't afford to buy hardware for learning and experimentation but have access to a computer)

Humans are as evil of a creature that will ever exist, I think. Reading about this, as well as some much more contemporary tortured killing that happens around the world has me convinced that humanity is the worst thing which has ever existed.

Not only are we unfit to exist, I feel we are entirely and completely unworthy of existing, or of becoming a species that spreads to other worlds for colonization.

we just don't deserve to persist. and because of who we are as a species, I don't think we will last very long at all.

The baud rate chosen was extremely well thought out compared to the crazytalk that are standard serial port baud rates.

Specifically, the rate was 31250 bps. Why? Because the huge majority of synthesizer processors at the time had clocks that ran at 1 MHz or integer multiples thereof. Indeed that is still the case forty years later. Ask yourself what 31250 * 32 is.

What's bad about using clever types? My (limited) experience is that if they're done well they just work. I don't know why React-Query's types work the way they do, but I quite like that they do.

The fundamental problem which is impossible to solve is game theory.

Suppose the collision avoidance is perfect. Now put it on the roads of NYC, or New Delhi.

There are a lot of people who will just walk in front of a car going 40mph, if they know for sure it will brake hard and stop.

The problem isn't technology, it's humanity.

The solution is to change the rules of the road, have protected lanes for self-driving buses and taxis and cars, and enforcement.

Let vehicles that can take full advantage of communicating with each other and the road go fast and use the infrastructure to maximum theoretical capacity, without having to worry about dumb human drivers.
There's a big difference between not using one out of fifty competing social media apps and not using the products from an illegal duopoly. The first is freedom of choice, the second is a lack of choice enabled by illegal business practices that prevent competition through violation of antitrust laws.

So you are literally free to choose to use Facebook or not, but if you want to participate in society, use banks, get a job, etc, you are not free to escape the Apple and Google duopoly, because their illegal anticompetitive actions have artificially limited consumer choice.
Presumably, if they had seen pedestrians standing on the corner, they would have intervened long before Tesla's AI could mount the curb.

Building an open source app for habit tracking, please answer a few questions
Hi all, I'm working on an open source app for tracking habits and better balancing one's life that doesn't share any data with anyone, and you could help me a lot by answering a few questions about your data privacy preferences.
It should take no more than 3-4 minutes and will help me build an app that doesn't invade in anyone's privacy. I'll share the survey results in blog post soon, will link in the comments when ready.
Thanks a lot!

Thanks a bunch,

It seemed crazy to me from day-1 they didn't have a "I want to always run my furnace fan" option since it is such a common requirement. And it seems to not exist to this date so when I want to turn my furnace off and circulate air I have to set the temperature to some goofy setting so the fan will run.

The last time I used the Google Home app I couldn't set my fan to continuous but the Nest app still allowed it. Seems wild to me that they don't have this basic stuff nailed down.
That would be a reasonable argument only if Tesla's image processing were as good as a human brain (it's not) and if their cameras were reasonably comparable to human eyes (they're not). To take the argument to an absurd extreme, you can't cover a car in 240p webcams from 2003 and expect good driving performance.

Moreover, other players also have cars covered in cameras. If anyone thought vision only was the best path forward because they couldn't figure out sensor fusion, they'd already have done it and saved the BOM cost.

For what it's worth, my experience has been that cameras are one of the more problematic sensor systems overall. Vendor software is garbage, any particular tuning is finicky in extreme conditions, you have to clean the damn things, cameras streams take up lots of bandwidth, etc.
I second this. I wrote an internal Qt/QML app that ran on Windows, Linux, Android, and Raspberry Pis. We had ~20 Raspberry Pi's running this app in kiosk mode. If only KDAB/cxx-qt[1] were ready then, I would have done as much as possible in rust .

I think they mean “get paid out” for unused sick leave at the end of employment rather than getting paid for sick leave at all.

In Australia your sick leave accumulates but you don’t get paid out when you leave, while your accumulated annual leave does get paid out.
I’m glad that you are having a good experience, but FSD reliably and repeatedly tries to stop at green lights on a 50 mph road near me. I’m just happy - sort of - that I didn’t pay for it, and that I’m only able to try it because my new Model S Plaid has been in the shop for service four times in the last three months…

(The loaners that I have had three of those four times have all had FSD.)

I am reasonably satisfied with Enhanced Autopilot on highways, though it’s unclear to me what, exactly, is ‘enhanced’ about it. And Navigate on Autopilot seems to add nothing of value.

The gate-crasher reaches the end of the line
this is what I got with the same prompt:

The veterinarian, Dr. Smith, walked into the examination room where two cats and a horse were waiting. He greeted the animals and their owners before approaching the first cat. The feline, a fluffy white and orange tabby, was lying on the examination table. Dr. Smith gently lifted one of its hind legs and counted the toes. "One, two, three, four," he muttered to himself before moving on to the cat's front legs.

After counting all four legs on the first cat, he repeated the process on the second feline, a sleek black and silver Maine Coon. Once he had counted all eight legs on the two cats, he turned his attention to the horse. The majestic creature stood in the corner of the room, calmly munching on some hay.

Dr. Smith walked over to the horse and began counting its legs, starting with the left hind leg. "One, two, three, four," he said aloud, moving on to the horse's front legs. As he counted, his assistant, who was standing nearby, jotted down the numbers on a piece of paper.

After counting all four legs on the horse, Dr. Smith stepped back and looked at his assistant. "That's a total of 18 legs," he said. "Can you write that down for me?"

His assistant nodded and added the number to the growing list on the paper. "Got it," she said. "18 legs total."

Dr. Smith smiled and turned back to the animals. "Alright, let's get started on your check-ups," he said, ready to continue with the examination.

> I'm pretty sure Banjo Kazooie was never on the GameCube.

This is correct, and pertinent to the whole competition story Microsoft already owned Rare through most of that console generation (Rare was acquired by Microsoft in 2002).

Despite MS owning Rare they still released a couple of Game Boy Advance Banjoo Kazooie games during this time that had already been in development prior to the acquisition, but didn't release a B-K game for Gamecube.

Yes. GPT doesn't really deal in meanings. Much like autocomplete, it doesn't know what the end of a sentence will be when it starts it. If it randomly chooses different words at the start of a sentence, it may pretend to have a different belief by the end.

In reality it doesn't have beliefs any more than a library does. It implicitly contains beliefs (since it's been trained on them) and it can imitate them, but which one you get is random. (There is likely more than one answer to your question in the training data.)

> The Dunning-Kruger effect happens with a lot of things that are day-to-day.

Ironically, the Dunning-Kruger effect (in which perceived relative skills tends to track with actual relative skill but is, on average, shifted somewhat towards about the 70th percentile from its actual value, for people on either side of that) is a frequent subject of what people misdescribe as the “Dunning-Kruger effect”, where people act extremely knowledgeable about a subject with very little knowledge of it.
I think you are looking at only what's available in the Home Depot. Connecting to your HVAC system is "fundamentally" simple and lots of companies have done it.

"Home automation" is also not a new concept. X10 came out in 1975:

There’s another added benefit that they get two different implementations of the same protocol. When you have multiple implementations, you effectively have a double check on the protocol design. This should make the project as a whole significantly better engineered.

I have a theory about Twitter's often odd actions since Musk took over, although I fear HN won't like it because it may tend to paint Musk in a reasonable light:

I think that we are seeing the symptoms of a team (Twitter) who is not yet used to Musk's management style, whereby he says something like, "we should do X", and he means, "we should investigate and take reasonable actions which have the same effect as (the too-bold action) X". The team interprets the first statement too literally and actually does X, which isn't really what Musk intended. I developed this theory in the roll-out of Twitter Blue, because it matches what happened very closely: Musk publicly said "hey we're going to start charging for verification and it's no longer a mark of validated identity". The team jumped and made something overnight, but this was rolled back because it's not what Musk meant for them to do. Rather, what he meant for them to do was sit down, plan what to do, and then execute it - quickly, but not immediately. And that's what happened in the end, i.e. in the past few days.

This effect is exacerbated by the remaining employees at Twitter including those who are most eager to suck up to the new boss, frankly, leading to them jumping and doing what he said (over-literally).

Anyways, the same theory would explain the elonjet thing. Elon says, "hey posting people's real-time location is generally seen as a bad thing, like that elonjet guy, we should look into a policy against that." Overeager underling takes this as a commandment to ban elonjet. More reasonable people who are beginning to catch on to the management style go and actually develop the policy; once it's developed, it makes sense to just Ctrl-Z the actions of the overeager group.

Given this poor scaling maybe we will see some CPUs like AMD's Milan-X but taken to the next level:

> That is not true in all jurisdictions and definitely not in Germany. Since twitter offers it’s services to the general public, bans must be non-discriminatory and are open to challenge in court.

Sure. But since ElonJet is run from the US, in a dispute between a US company and a US user, only US law is really relevant, any foreign court is likely to dismiss the claim as outside of their jurisdiction. As far as US-based users go, he basically does have the right to ban anyone, so long as he doesn't start banning people on the basis of a protected characteristic such as race or sex.

Even if we suppose, counterfactually, that ElonJet was run from Germany – while the German legal system might in that situation be open to hearing the case, I doubt ElonJet would win, when you consider the extensive emphasis which German (and EU law) puts on privacy rights, and the fact that it is willing to go a lot further in limiting free speech in the name of privacy than the US legal system is.
Part of why they are considered differently is that the Japanese market ignored the Xbox and has continued to more or less.
