The lack of usable hardware is the current problem now. I think Google Glass did it right, but was not liked by the average consumer as being overly nerdy. Other than that I think VR in a kind of glasses or a bain interface form would be an instant hit. Use cases range from e.g. police and military to everyday things. It would be amazing to e.g. take a look at a dark spot on the skin and get instant assessment if it is dangerous or building ikea wardrobe with instructions displayed over the materials....

Not for everything, but it's a start.
Speaking of job performance, can anyone who looked at gmail settings screens tell me that this shitshow of halfass mismatched UX is what one ought to expect from decade-old established and widely-used software from one of the largest companies with some of the highest salaries and hardest job interviews in the software engineering profession?

P.S - in a recent past I also had to take over administration of a google apps account for a small company and discovered that the admin UIs for that product were too a barely passable garbage lacking bulk operations and defaulting grids to 20 items per page.
The author actually acknowledges that opinions on legitimate use of pre-flop charts in the poker community are highly divided. It's a controversial topic.

> Overall, the app was controversial. Many of the Reddit comments were negative, and many accused me of making an app for “cheating.” Though there was some interesting back-and-forth because many people pointed out that high-profile famous poker players openly admit to using preflop charts.

Arguably, the author wanted to build a simple app that generates sizable revenue, having your idea reviled isn't a great outlook.

However, in his case, that's not a problem since his goal was to test an idea quickly, not to build a successful business:

> Overall, I expected some controversy and some negativity. This app mainly was an experiment to make money and learn more about making watchOS apps. If it fails, it’s not too big a deal.

The elephant in the room many have is that the author didn't start from an authentic motivation to solve an interesting problem people have, and turn it into a small business, but instead was motivated by "Hey, I want to experiment with building a business" and then started looking for a problem which was a good fit for his ulterior goal.

It's a kind of thinking about building businesses that will certainly yield successful results. It's also the kind of thinking that doesn't in the slightest consider the manifold impacts of their product or service on their markets and the wider environment in which those markets reside.

As one redditor duly noted:

Some of the feedback I’ve received for picoCAD is that for people who aren’t accustomed to modelling find it really easy to get started. The constraints and the restrictions makes it a bit easier to focus on the fundamentals

Its a good idea, I learned a lot from your post, and in the end its a win-win situation as you got some exposure. I would say keep it up and try to promote a bit more the app to see what comes out of it. I find the idea to charge 20USD also refreshing.
I am calling it that because I often see solutions being marked at the top that are actually worst in capability. I don't understand how they make these quadrants but I guess money has a lot more to do with it than technical capabilities.
> Do exchanges give us insight into what their order books actually look like, instead of just quoting the last price where a buyer and seller matched?

They do. I haven't seen depth info past the best bid/offer (maybe exists? I'm not an expert), but I see the bid and ask prices with sizes in my broker's app in realtime. "Last price" is just one useful bit of information.

The theory behind showing the last price is that an actual matched transaction feels less likely to be "wrong" (over short periods) than bid/ask in illiquid cases. Sometimes there really just aren't people on one side ready to buy/sell, and the ”$1 $1 $1” would say something less realistic, not more.

Good question though, dunno why anyone would downvote.
How is AI going to solve the problems of energy, homelessness, pollution, the environment, affordable housing crises in the West, content moderation, and the loneliness epidemic?

Think of what you’re asking from it. You don’t ask coke to solve corona or google to solve world hunger. None of those issues are bottlenecked by AI. If you want to solve those issues, you shouldn’t expect AI researchers to fix them, you can be that change.
Most is details you don't need. However knowing how a function call works, what kind of branching is available and how to do basic operations with collections (arrays or more) at the assembly level will allow you to write more efficient code in higher level languages.
Tim, please just tell me one worthwhile way it will improve my life.

When I bought my first smartphone I was going on holiday and was tired of taking a laptop and finding WiFi just to check my mail to see if my website had crashed. I also knew it would do satnav and be valuable for web browsing on the go. That's the kind of answers I am looking for.

I don’t particularly care about the specific case of Sweden. Every source I can find for England or Europe in general shows low literacy rates in around 1800. Do you have any sources that disagree? (Note that the map I linked to shows a higher rate for Sweden, if that’s important to you, but still around 50% for England and many other European countries.)
There is a notes field (this is different from the “secure notes” feature) for each password entry that you could use to write remarks. I don’t know if that would be encrypted.
Yeah. Sorry to read that. Wish you good luck for your future.
I guess it depends on countries, usually IP geolocation here (Italy) for landlines can be off by hundreds of kms.
I have seen two arguments:

1. Tesla has heavily invested in robotics. They will be able to build cars much cheaper than their competitors.

2. Tesla has long-term lithium delivery contracts. They will be able to pay far less for their batteries while the prices for their competitors will massively increase

I have not verified those claims but that would make Tesla's valuation more reasonable.

There is also the self-driving car race. Whoever wins that will take almost all profits. With Twitter, Musk doesn't look too good in the software department right now. However, if you ignore Google, then Tesla still has a chance to win.
It would be better if you create an npm package from this, imho.
Hey HN community,

I'm excited to share with you a new nonprofit initiative I'm working on called Project Karma. The goal of Project Karma is to inspire and enable startup founders and business owners to donate some of their equity to charity.

As a founder, I know firsthand how much of our net worth is tied up in our company's stock. I also know that many of us are looking for ways to make a positive impact on the world and give back. That's why I believe that donating a portion of our equity can be a powerful way to make a difference and create a lasting legacy of giving.

Through Project Karma, I hope to create a movement of founders and business owners who are committed to using their company stock as a tool to make a positive impact on the world. Whether it's donating a portion of their equity to charitable causes through a charitable vehicle like a charitable remainder trust (CRUT), or working with their company to develop a charitable giving program, I believe that together we can multiply the impact of charitable giving and create a lasting legacy of giving back.

If you're a founder or business owner who is interested in learning more about Project Karma and how you can get involved, I'd love to hear from you. Together, I believe we can make a real difference in the world and inspire others to do the same.
There’s not much profit in hardware. Mechanics and robotics are expensive.
> I mean, your govt is banning enough of the shit with some real questionable reasons(while keeping some actual questionable things/traditions alive) that being skeptical is probably still the best bet.

Such as?

> and let's not pretend that the UA govt has had a history of transparency lol. Being better than Russia has been a low bar in the eastern bloc. -30 is better than -70 but it's still far below 0.

Why bring up Russia here, and disparage by faint praise Ukraine?

This is not related to anything in the original reply.

I used to be on Twitter more (Masto now) and this type of reasoning is seen from the Russian Twitter farm accounts, and I note the account making this reply is new.
Linux kernel yes, GNU/Linux only dominates the server room, and fails everywhere else.

A kernel alone doesn't make an operating system.
Funny lately I keep thinking how much I want to get rid of my iphone, or any all-glass phone, and go back to haptic keyboard with minimal screen for basic functions.

Wouldn't Price to Book (P/B) sort this out?
And to go a bit further, ban leveraged trading. They mention this in the article and I fully agree. Leveraged trading encourages short term speculation and casino like behaviors. I would go even further and ban leveraged trading in any financial asset period.
“Net” doesn’t really matter when there are large periods of time like the present where the population is burning firewood and coal to meet their energy needs. Very little documentation about that and much of it is labeled “green” under “biomass” which is very convenient.

> Crypto has had several 2008 style crashes and is likely to have more but as yet they haven't effected the rest of the market/economy.

Maybe also because at moment crypto has no value/use for the economy.
I agree with you principally, and generally, but in rather small domains like this I would imagine symptom management using negative examples (i.e. training pairs where the response is a refusal to answer) and adding more explicit statements about what is not true, possible, or known to the corpus would get you to a pretty good place.
Tesla's solar division is an albatross, not an asset.
There are many situations where the amount someone is willing to pay does not equal the value of something.

Like you point out. Anything with negative externalities is in this category.

If value is derived from peoples experiences. Why would the experience of the customer count for more than the experience of another person affected by the purchase?

Another problem is that we (people) are not always good at deciding what is good for even ourselves in the long run. We are not homo economicus with perfect awareness of all effects going forward into the infinite future. That doesn't (always) mean people should be forbidden from making "mistake" purchases that they will eventually regret. But it means the value of the thing wasn't what they thought when they bought it. In short: they're not the same.
Uh? Companies issues new shares all the time.

In any case your username makes me strongly suspect you are not arguing in good faith, but merely propagandizing/shilling.
They're also at risk of Musk manipulation.

No one is actually under any illusion that these polls are the "will of the people".
Oh no, no, it wasn't. Nostalgia is fun, but I've slowly realized all the stuff we didn't have

- Getting lost on the city due to a wrong turn or similar and having to figure it out by yourself. You could ask at some gas station, with varied results

- Very poor public transport info

- No food delivery services, you could order pizza and that was it

- No convenient messaging of other people independent from wires. You had pay phones and that's it. And maybe you could leave a message

So, no, thanks, but I prefer the world of today for the most part
Weirdly, this project started not from the audio end, but with the physics simulation of the cables. Building a synth came later when I needed something to do with the cables. :)

Biggest challenge was that I basically don’t know anything about how synths work in real life, and made up my own way as I went along. This lead to unnecessary rewrites as I needed to sometimes change assumptions that stopped me from progressing.
Agree, I think after using it in professional context I can say it scares me to think about running it on a heavily trafficed site, but it is amazing and easy to set up for hobby stuff and even small side projects.

Usually profit margins shrink as volume goes up. You can't sell that many cars into the premium segment simply because the segment doesn't support the volume.

VW sells a ton of cheap and small vehicles.
Right but servers builtin in kernel are the worst of all cases.

Not only you have service where (if not firewalled) anything can connect and try the luck sending shit to it, it is often integrated with many other systems inside the kernel so it increases effort to rewrite any of that. Protocol clients in kernel have far less problems, for one you only connect to defined endpoint so attacker just to start would need to MITM you, and it is usually smaller codebase than the server

It is also usually stuff where you want to add new features relatively often and "upgrade kernel to use this new server feature" is not thing people like very much.

Providing interfaces to make userspace implementations faster have far better payoff, generic "make disk access and shoving stuff between disk and network fast" will help any file serving demon, not just SMB (point which original Samba proves, as with new improvements it is currently faster than ksmbd)
OT but a pretty filthy dark pattern for the cookie banner on science.org - as I went to dismiss their newsletter popular on mobile another one (presumably the ‘allow cookies’ popup) quickly took its place so I’d click it.

Stuff like this really puts me off a site
It's gross and comes off as desperate, to me at least. I'm far less likely to do business with a company who dicks around than straightforward ones.

For example, I was working on my furnace this weekend and needed a part. Found on supplyhouse.com. No fuckery involved, I paid them asking price and they sent me the part.

Why can't all transactions be so simple? Why does every site need a popover, multiple coupons, cookie warnings, privacy policies, etc? Maybe I'm just out of touch, but this all drives me -away-. I just want to pay money for X, receive X, and be done. If you make that hard, I'll look elsewhere.

The Lastpass hack was worse than the company first reported
Musk has shown plenty of erratic behaviour around Tesla as well. And especially with the Twitter drama, I think Tesla might be better off without him.
That's why you need to build something that is at least an order of magnitude better, so people can't ignore you.

Otherwise, yes, this was my experience too: in our noisy world dominated by huge corporations, indie hackers stand little chance to get their message out and pick some interest.
Ceph/cephfs have kernel clients (and FUSE ones too), but not server. Server is userspace.

It's easier to limit client attack space because to just start attacking client you'd need to MITM the client-server traffic
What's the best pretrained model available? The best I've tried is pyannote.
Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it.

I can totally understand where you’re coming from, but the program is not designed to be efficient. I think of it more as a toy, or and interactive machine that you can figure out how it works. The fact that you can make loops and beats with it is almost a bonus.
I wonder if one could turn crowds of humans into one, eg. engineering flash sales and other social cues they nudge them through gates.
That's the Job. You need to filter the bots out. By having the big pols with millions of voter's, engagement of each polling account can be measured and the suspicious one's (the retwitting bots) can be identified and pulled out of the system.

Musk always wanted to know how much bots are there on Twitter. Now he has a good chance to Filter them by this kind of information intelligentsia :)

Also are bots a risk and threat for amplifying misinformation and generally building of positions. Automated scrapping and voting = death.
I guess you could shove it into container.

But SMB in general is complicated mess that only gets more complicated for backward compatibility sake. Comprehensive implementation almost by definition have to be complex.

Small "local users only" implementation would certainly be welcome but I don't see the benefits of keeping it in kernel.
I may be wrong, but to my eye, China has a direct interest in Russia being successful in its invasion of Ukraine : the invasion of Taiwan.

China is and has been - as Russia did, prior to its invasion - massively expanding its armed forces.

To my eye, there is absolutely no defensive need for this - India is not about in invade, for example. There is only one use for all this weaponry; Taiwan.

I swim a lot, and I meet people in the pool.

Two weeks ago or so I met a South Korean diplomat - in the pool :-) - and we discussed the situation. South Korea very much is looking to see that Russia is defeated, to discourage China from invading Taiwan.
few days ago I was buying something on Amazon Japan and not only I had to provide credit card first, but the price of the item itself changed when for international shipping. still, I wanted the thing and and it's half the price against already imported, but what gives?
As a sibling commenter said, those proprietary apps have a server part that sends notifications to Google's server.

If UnifiedPush were to gain enough traction (say it would be adopted on FireOS, HuaweiOS and whatever platform don't use Google services), those apps would likely start to support it directly.

Another possible avenue is to add UnifiedPush support to push libraries used by these apps both server and client-side. Multiple libraries (Google FCM included, I linked at least two others from Amazon and Huawei in another comment here) abstract push notifications away so the developer gets a single server to talk to, and a unified API across iOS, Android, Web, etc. If these libraries started supporting UnifiedPush, adoption could increase a lot, without involving any developer effort for these proprietary apps.
It might “address” the criticism but it doesn’t rebut it. It’s absolutely true that MNIST can be misleading and the results on it might not be representative.
Almost all security issues with ES stem from their idea to keep authorization as separate, paid product (X-pack). On other other hand MongoDB had similar issues since they wanted to their product to be easy to setup and use, maybe for people scarred of pg_hba.conf.
Thanks, smartass. This wouldn't have been a problem to this degree if their product matched up to their promise and the whole vault was actually encrypted.

I willingly accepted the dox risk of personal identifiable data because they were transparent they maintained this and hence this would leak. I would never have used their service if I knew website URLs were unencrypted.
The ad subsidized something, against my will. How can that be framed as some kind of "transaction"? Sure, if I can choose to direct or avert my attention to ads, like, using an app with ads. But in other less consensual cases it's difficult to make the case that ads are always a positive sum game.
Be transparent and humble. Be very clear you are insecure (new) about your performance on their technology but that you are willing to learn. Clear direct communication is the biggest tool in my toolbox. Disclosing your emotions transparently is an olive branch towards building trust.

Take on challenging tasks at risk that you will probably fail early on and be willing to ask for help. These kinds of risks are not a problem so long as it does not risk the health of the product. The struggle is how you will learn.

> Hilary J. Allen, a law professor at American University, said, testifying in last week’s hearing of the Senate Banking Committee

This woman went there in front of the US congress and spewed a bunch of incorrect technical information. She said Bitcoin can be easily controlled by a few core devs and mining pool operators. She clearly didn’t read about the events that led to the Bitcoin Cash split. Now you may have opinions on this but you have to agree she doesn’t understand the dynamics between nodes, miners and mining pools.

One thing is to not understand something and have an uneducated opinion but another is to appear in front of a congress to testify something as a verified professional. Do you really expect some proper closure on this when government is relying on such low quality input?
Agree. The fine-tuning happens on the base "davinci" (or Curie, Babbage, Ada) and not a specific `text-00x`. At least not as I am aware.
So massive overhead when you need to context switch between network process, I/O process, and FS process just to pass some bytes, where in monolithic kernel that's just a cost of few function calls
> If this is a major concern for a mastodon user, they will need to either host their own instance or find an instance with as lax moderation policies as possible (and deal with the risk that other interests could interpret that as toxic and ban the whole instance).

If by being open and liberal (in the non-political sense) one risks being banned then essentially it's punishment (or the threat of punishment) for defection and the outcome is for everyone to end up being governed by the censors. The suggestion to then "host your own instance" looks a lot like "build your own X" that we had prior to Musk's take over of Twitter from people who didn't really care about the problem (or even see it as a problem). Do you really think people will start hosting their own instances for this?
I didn't make a statement whether jail is good or bad. My point is that people who can come up with money (to post bail) shouldn't be treated differently than people who don't have that money. Your financial situation should play no role here.
