Yes, my poetic license path is very heavy withdrawals -> bank run -> dire straits (money for nothing pun).

$60B in assets, $8B in withdrawals. Even if all the assets are correctly valued, I don't anyone would envy their position. But given their own coin in holding in there, maybe they are devoting some money to defend it, or maybe they are actually in decent shape and can handle this quasi bank run.

More succinctly, if they were really toast, then $BNB would be cratering. Given it's holding in there, it seems they are OK (at this very instant in time).
I work with someone who went through that. They resent their parents for it.

Wholly and completely resent their parents. Growing up in the later 00s/10s, right as stuff like SMS and especially "social group by text message" came along, it absolutely stunted their ability to make friends.

What it did was disconnect them from their distant peers and meant that making friends outside of their immediate school peers was basically impossible. It also landed them an extremely deep rut of depression, causing them to spend their free time for years sinking into alt-right stuff that actively preys on "people sheltered from social media as kids".

Everything in the under-18 space is organized in real time online behind adults backs. Never let anyone tell you otherwise. Kids plot against the adults. The fact of the matter is that social media is the way we engage with so much art, culture, and society that these sorts of schools hurt kids in the long run.

I leave you with the track Turntable Winding Down [0] from the album Public Domain. The intro/outro were stripped when the band re-released the album "legit", but Archive.org has the original because, of course they do.

Do you mean section 2 of the paper? It only contains C-like pseudo-code, no machine code.

The results section of the paper only compare the performance of Multicore OCaml with plain OCaml, not OCaml vs C++ / Java.
i would say that ios is the better un-tinkered experience because less will go wrong and if it does, there is not much you can do anyway.

Using metrics as knowledge instead of applying them for understanding is just another case of cargo-culting.
SIMD is a fantastic tool. My first try with AVX2 (256-bit), building an "overlay with transparency" for two YUVA420P frames, yielded speed better than 1 pixel per CPU cycle! Although i didn't even try optimising it all that much.
It's very clearly a choice and not a bug

But what I could imagine is that it fell out of product oversight and an engineer just came along and said "well that's a really complicated piece of code, I don't want to maintain that, I'll replace it with something simple", and nobody pushed back because this isn't a high-priority feature any more

Alex, I presume that your post was basically directed at the whole social circle thing, if i understood you.

I guess as the end of the day one has to ask as to what social circles achieves.

I don't think any code or online solutions will in itself achieve anything, however it can be certainly an amplifier if there are the right people involved. Go ahead have a look at my profile and the link ( 5 minute read) that I put in the profile and see if it is something that perks your interest.

> The trade union Unionen is suing Klarna in the Labor Court for over one million kroner

1M Kroner is roughly nearly $100K which is nothing for Klarna, So:

> We are suing Klarna for an unusually large amount of damages.

Makes absolutely no sense. Especially when Klarna has lost over 90% of its valuation from $45B to $6.7bn.
I would say that, yes, a carpenter is entitled to a share of the profits. They used their labour to build something which appreciates in value.

Traditionally, it has been too hard to track fractional ownership of an asset and calculate a share of profits. And most workers prefer cash up front rather than waiting for a payday which might not materialise for decades.

I'm not going to go full blockchain/NFT on this idea. But it is easy to see how in the future a long-lived guild of tradespeople could build your house at a discounted price now in return for a share of the sale profits in the future.

I don't know if that's a good or bad thing though.

This shows pretty clearly why some people look so ignorant when complaining about this system's abilities at this point:

""" chatGPT:
the punchline plays on the way that the numbers 7, 8, and 9 are pronounced, as saying "seven, eight, nine" out loud sounds similar to the phrase "scared."
"""

So many people attack systems like this after lazily probing them for knowledge completely outside of their possible input senses, and then, without much thought, proudly exclaim they found the system to be faulty.

It's like complaining about a person born deaf not being able to tell you which joke was the best after watching a Netflix standup series.

Of course there are other criticisms of these systems which can be more interesting, but there are a vast number that fall into this category - often just more subtlety.
Why AppImage over Flatpack? I like the Flatpack ability to easily restrict network access to binaries. Probably possibly in all of the packaging formats, but limiting permissions feels like a functional piece of Flatpack.

> Unlike Signal, Telegram provides both end-to-end encrypted chats and point-to-point-encrypted chats.

Source on this? Signal can't even send messages to users with their phones off. Telegram (like WhatsApp) will buffer the message on the server (to the best of my knowledge) and can relay that message quite some time after. Signal clearly provides E2EE chats and group chats, so I'm not sure why that's stated here. For point-to-point, my understanding is that the functionality is extremely limited here and that you can't actually chat. That's what I found googling anyways. While Signal doesn't have this, there is an open feature request for something like this[0], but traction is often low on topics like these. Maybe if HN users were as passionate on Signal forums as they were here we'd get more of these features? Who knows. Devs may just ignore those too.

> But unlike Signal Telegram also haven't been caught with glaring zero days or caught sending images to anyone except the intented recipient the last fee years.

I'd actually like a source on this. I'm not aware of any Signal zero days... ever. Or hearing about Signal users receiving wrong messages. I have heard about several zero days with Telegram though.

Thanks for your comments.

Over last 15 years, I have tried to loose weight and sooner or later I ran into - "I dont have time" or "this customer proposal is more important" syndrome. Derailed my effort. Before I knew I was back to or worse than where I started.

I feel different this time. Its almost as important as eating everyday to stay alive. As important as having work to earn bread for family.

Being analytical, I have tried hard to find whats different this time. I dont think I have exact understanding but here are some factors that I came up during my pondering .

- Something just triggers this mindset where working out becomes a part of you. Almost a necessary activity like taking a bath. You can skip a day or two but it starts to smell and feel like you MUST do it.

- I feel the trigger has one or more the following components : 1) WHO - You do it for someone. It could be you yourself, family, kids, grandkids, girlfriend. 2) You have a strong realization that LIFE is finite & You want to have a better and longer life. 3) You are FED UP with something.

- Goal setting & how your mind processes goals - In past, my goals had a finish line. Like - "I want to loose weight" or "I want to run a half marathon". I was able to achieve those goals and almost soon after that my mind was like: "That's it man. We are done. Lets go back to default mode" (busy work, less active life style). This time my goal is - I WILL LIVE REST OF MY LIFE IN A HEALTHY MANNER. There is no end date or finish line. The results do not matter. I dont have goals to loose 2 pounds every week. I just do what I need to do to live healthy.

- There is also realization that EVERYONE must go through pain and pay with money and time, for your health. You do it in Gym or Doctor's office. You chose.

- Accountability was a big factor for me. In past, I would start but drop off at some point. This time I hired a gym-owner fitness trainer (awesome guy). My net investment is less than 3K a year. I go to him 2 days a week. Just that will easily help me live at least a year longer (keeping all other factors same). Whats the value of one year of time for me? Priceless. 3K is dirt cheap.

I can go on. I have been taking notes in a google doc with a hope to covert that into a eBook someday. I have thoughts from so many different perspectives, that I feel can help others too.

I think the disagreement is about the fact that it would be considered specifically impressive. It doesn't seem more impressive than everything else ChatGPT does when it repeats a boilerplate and tries to find parts of a joke using probabilistic weights, or tries to categorise the joke into either puns or something else.

Apple is a weird one from my perspective. I dislike Safari, but overall I'm pretty ambivalent about Apple in general. But most devs I've met IRL seem to despise them, while HN seems to mostly have a positive view.

There is/are and their sound very different in other languages, so I would say that people who speak English as a second language generally make these types of mistakes less often than natural speakers who learned speaking English many years before writing. (We make other types of mistakes more often though).

It hasn't served them well with WinUI (I tried it, but the versioning hell was too much.)

That said, They over-compensated for over-focusing on desktop pre 2012ish.

And now, they are acting completely silly in regards to MAUI (supporting Windows, Android, iOS, macOS, but -not- linux)

The battery price graph tells a different story. Improvements have been slowing down for a long time, and have been almost zero the past couple of years and we've actually had a price increase this year. Switching to an entirely new technology is speculative at best, not all that dissimilar from putting all hope in fusion. Could work, but betting the future of the planet on it is silly.
The rich people of the past had no internet, cars, air travel, or much health care by modern standards. The average 2022 American is vastly better off materially.

What they had was social status, and I think that's more what you're talking about. Social status is incredibly important for humans, so I understand focusing on it. But since it's pretty much a Zero Sum Game, nothing much changes there.
Linux and it's lack of hard real time functionality. ws2812b's don't have a clock signal and instead rely on relatively tight timing of the data to seperate the bits. So you end up having to write a kernel driver to either disable interrupts as you bit bang GPIO, or take over a SPI device and set it up with nasty parameters to get a ws2812b waveform out of the MOSI data line. This chip can simply dedicate one of the MCU cores to the task of babysitting that interface.
Yeah, that's exactly the passage. Completely unquotable, therefore I usually paraphrase a bit.
I thought implying there was some sort of cosmic injustice when a software developers"deserves" more than a nurse, was some sort of sarcasm. We would never understand anything about the world if we talked like that about for example why does this rock deserves a higher potential energy than that acorn.

I just don’t see another platform for people to move off to en masse. I don’t think it’s Mastodon.

I do think there’s a big opening for a competitor to enter, but Twitter has incredible inertia.

The best play would be to pay the top 10 Twitterers to move over to some new platform exclusively. Drag a mass of people with them to prime the siphon. That’s not cheap, but possible. Maybe some other billionaire will find it just to troll musk.

I think we’re (us humans) stuck with Twitter and Elon for a long time still.
iOS's UI/UX is far more responsive and consistent in reaction times and input latency than Android. I suspect Android's use of Java to be the main culprit, but not really sure on that...

For browsing, it means that even phones which perform better in CPU bound benchmarks than my old iPhone 11 have random UI stutters & non-smooth scrolling in browser mostly while content is still loading, and these make me miss-click somewhere where I didn't want to, frequently enough to notice (compared to iPhones where it rarely happens)... 120Hz displays on Android make the UI smoother, but random janks & stutters still happen a lot more than on iPhones...

When I'm taking photos most of the time I want to take a good picture as fast as possible, sometimes I want to take more in quick succession, this is also somehow easier on iPhones from my experience.. (although I admit it's been a long time since I held a top-tier Android phone, my only contact with Androids is with my friends & family phones which are mostly Xiaomi/Huawei/OnePlus priced around 300-400€ which is half the price of my iPhone)

Also, switching to a newer iPhone is seamless compared to buying a new Android, and UI/UX/Settings don't change much with new versions, compared to Android version updates (although from what I've heard this has gotten better in Androids recently)

In your analogy I'd be talking about a power drill that just makes me work faster because it's better designed and more intuitive to use, even though it might have less RPM and less bits support.., if I did a lot of drilling just on Philips and Flathead and it saved me enough time, it would be worth the saved time I can use for other stuff...

Help wanted – Presscheck.org, a system for verifying journalists on Mastodon
A few weeks ago I created, in one late evening of frantic activity, PressCheck.org — a resource for listing and verifying journalists on Mastodon: http://www.presscheck.org

Each profile on the site contains a unique “rel=me” link that, when added to the corresponding Mastodon profile, activates a prominent “verified” box. It works across any server, and in the absence of a formal verification system, as previously seen on Twitter, this method seemed the next best thing.

It is my view that the basic task of confirming journalists are who they say they are is a critical need for any emerging platform likely to be used for disseminating news.

Many agreed. Too many. The waiting list for verifications is growing more quickly than my capacity to verify and publish, with spikes whenever a fresh controversy emerges on Twitter (such as the recent banning of journalists, for example). We have had 1,400 submissions, of which almost 500 have been verified — more than 150 subject beats, and 250 outlets.

The system works — but I’m clearly no developer, and this project desperately needs one. For that reason, I wanted to reach out to the Hacker News community for help in improving/rebuilding the site with a view to a relaunch sometime in the near future.

The site is hitting usage limits for certain functions — I use a paid Zapier account to export new Airtable entries into Webflow’s CMS, but each entry requires about 3-4 zaps, quickly adding up. Howie Liu at Airtable very kindly comped a pro account so we can use more automations and add collaborators.

I’m sure with a smarter eye than mine, huge and obvious improvements are within somewhat easy reach. In case it’s not obvious, there’s no money in it. I’m an SF-based Financial Times reporter, but this is a personal project for which I’m footing the (thankfully still quite small) bill.

I have no idea if Mastodon will end up being the post-Twitter destination, but while we figure that out, this feels like an important job to be getting on with.

If you feel the same way, please do get in touch. I’m on davelee.journalist@gmail.com. Thanks for reading.

Practically speaking not really. The official mission is something like ‘empower people to build communities and make the world more open’.
It’s a pretty nice goal and you really have to be trying to find an objection to it that doesn’t come off as being a jerk. You can make anything political in some sense but most things just aren’t.
That's fascinating. It assumes that the manufacturer has a monopoly and has unrestricted pricing power. So, if repairs reduce demand, the manufacturer can just raise prices.

That's Apple. John Deere doesn't have a monopoly on tractors.
It's interesting, because even when it "knows" that two words are homophones, it doesn't want to believe they sound the same. I just asked it "Are 'knot' and 'not' homophones?" and it replied:

> Yes, "knot" and "not" are homophones. Homophones are words that are pronounced the same but have different meanings and spellings.

My immediate follow-up: "Do 'knot' and 'not' sound exactly the same?"

> No, "knot" and "not" do not sound exactly the same, although they are pronounced similarly. [...] "Knot" is pronounced with a short, sharp "k" sound at the beginning
This is not analogous. You likened criticizing our economy (inclusive of the state of various laws that determine how it impacts people) to criticizing physics itself (to suggest that doing so is unreasonable).

The economy is like a singular, gigantic vehicle we all occupy. It abides certain natural laws (such as human nature, and the scarcity of certain resources), but the vehicle itself is designed by some of our fellow passengers (and its design does not optimize for the things many of us feel it should).
"voting with your wallet" is a dream that simply does not work in practice. Especially in situations like cell phones where you have extremely limited options. Companies have simply refused to provide a product that delivers the features customers want because they make more money by denying you those features and they know that customers can't afford to go without something and will be forced to settle for whatever they decide to offer.

If something will make a company more money, then they will always do that thing. If not making products repairable makes them more money they will never do it until they are forced to by law, which is exactly what has happened. In fact, companies make so much money refusing to make repairable products that they've invested huge amounts of money into technology and laws that make it illegal or impossible for users to repair their products which is what brought us to the point we're at now where consumers had no choice but to petition the government to intervene.
