Anyone buying a car in the last year or two had ample data that it was a bubble due to supply issues causing sellers to be unable to maintain the volume. i bought a used model 3 for 35k usd before the bubble, saw the prices for that same car and mileage spike to 65k and then drop to 45k and now still 40k

I do find it interesting that with all the data out there, i find it hard to see a graph of prices over time for cars. not the instantaneous prices, thwy are ineascapable, but the trend and history.
They have very little power in most primary care specialties. The expectation from hospitals is you will work this hard or they won’t hire you. Hospitals are more than happy to just dump more hours onto their over-exhausted doctors rather than hire new ones who ask for fewer hours. The expectation from other doctors is you will work this hard because if you don’t, someone else will have to pick up the slack. Also, most of them sign as part of their contract basically “I’ll show up outside of contracted time if it is necessary for patient safety”, turns out this is like 50% of the time because they’re so understaffed
But people don't use the word "Luddite" as some sort of worker protesting for the sake of vengeance at the government that abandoned them. People talk as if Luddites were some backwards people, that failed to adopt technology and died because they couldn't adapt.
If being a Luddite involves a civil war, it is no longer an argument in favor of never questioning technological progress.

Apple's Music App made me loose hope. I love the days of Winamp, a faster app. This music app is so slow, so clunky.
They definitely did that to compete with Komoot and Ridewithgps. Compare the platform with piggy-back app intervals.icu which adds so many more useful technical training features and you'll see what I mean.

>Also there's the whole network effects thing where there isn't really another social network for recreational athletes

Most of those features are in the free version. Many keep the free acccount, and utilize more serious tools for the rest.
What about iCloud is a shambles? In my experience it works fine, I save files on one device, and then I can access them on another.
That would allow any piece to capture a pawn on the adjacent file after a 2 square move. That would make 2 square moves bad, which would slow the game down.
I think that this is sometimes misleading marketing-speak.

For example, Perdue says, "All of the animals for our branded products are raised in no-antibiotics-ever programs"; as a big company, surely this leaves enough vagueness for them to raise and sell animals with antibiotics under other brands/products. Since it's a private company, consumers can't know really what percentage of animals fall under one category or the other.

https://corporate.perduefarms.com/news/statements/antibiotic...

Though it is interesting that such a big company would move towards that direction at all.
We've seen this before, it's a bit like the "no outside food or drink" policy at the movie theater. Apple (and Google, Microsoft, et. al) want to stop you from using your media so you're funneled into buying theirs. If people can easily play local files, it diminishes the value of a streaming/music management tool. Probably explains why Groove Music and Play Music failed, while Apple Music still has a surprisingly devout userbase.

This is one of those things that will hopefully be opened up with more standardization. There's nobody to blame but ourselves for not enforcing this earlier, and hopefully in the future opening an MP3 file won't be harder than it was in 2005.

We are offering both Speech Synthesis (/TTS) and Voice Lab (Rapid Voice Cloning and Voice Design) as a standard SaaS model (w/ fixed quota of characters you can voice per month). API is directly available on the platform. Outside of standard package that flips to usage-based model and we do tailored deals for custom needs and discounts for high-volume usage.

Currently testing Beta with a range of storytelling and publishing use-cases, tackle relevant feedback and make sure the infrastructure supports it. We are planning to open up Beta to everyone by end of this month.

Voice Design interface is currently set of sliders and toggles but currently iterating on what is most accessible.
I wish I had the confidence in life to genuinely think anyone who thought or spoke differently to me was just a dipshit.
They are overworking because they have a lobbying organization that limits the number of doctors.

This leads to higher pay and more work.
> These are sent via WhatsApp so the audio recordings are mp4 files, which for some bizarre reason won't open in Music and instead open in QuickTime Player, despite definitely being audio files.

.mp4 being associated with a video player seems reasonable, since it's almost always used for video. (I think the only difference between .mp4 and .m4a is the extension? It's just serving as a signal about which app should open it, really.)

> Create a new playlist, transfer some previous songs over, then try to drop the new m4a's onto the open playlist. No go. Play around for a while, figure out that the entity that accepts the drops is the TableView, not the surrounding view. So you can't drop the new files into the empty space below the songs, you have to drop them onto the existing songs.

Interestingly, this is the user winding up on the single most fiddly path because it's what felt intuitive to them. In pretty much any Music library view but the playlist view, dragging a file into the window is all you need to do. They unfortunately picked the single view where it's focused on letting you rearrange the tracks.

I'd suspect that the Music app's workflow is built around "I want to add this to my music library", whereas the author's mental model was more around "I need a list of files so they get transferred". Which are similar, but that falls apart in cases like this. Which is sort of Apple's fault for not smoothly supporting edge cases, to be sure.
iPhones are more locked down so probably not, and maybe they shouldn't work alongside their crazy ex?
I am not much of a DND player- what sort of hateful content are they trying to prevent? Is there a Nazi-flavored campaign they want to curtail?
Yes, for example to capture two pieces at once, or threaten two adjacent pieces.
Well, percent state of charge (how full the battery pack is) is not so hard to calculate, you just have a look up table for battery voltage vs %SOC. Although you may need to calibrate for the voltage drop caused by the internal resistance of the battery cells. The hard part is converting that into a "miles remaining" estimate, which requires a good estimation of how many kWh your vehicle uses per mile. I think some manufacturers even link this into the GPS and take into account the elevation change on the route you selected.
I mean sure, we live under an all-seeing panopticon, our police kill us with impunity, our media is a propaganda engine that manufactures popular consent through false narratives and drives addiction to consumerism, our social media is basically MKULTRA, our healthcare and educational systems are grifts whose primary purpose is to bleed the poor over a lifetime of crushing debt, our lives are owned and controlled by billionaires and corporations while we ourselves own nothing (not even our own identities), and our government is wholly corrupt, bloodthirsty, incapable of governance and utterly insulated from the will of the public, to the point that the only political revolutions allowed to gain any traction are those which support the status quo of capitalism, white supremacy and imperialism.

But we have guns! So many guns!

To make life and death decisions for people requires you have hubris and faith in yourself.

Sure, but outside of surgeons and the ER, most doctors are not making life or death decisions all too often. Your average family medicine doctor should always be presenting multiple options for care, and be honest with the patient and themselves that they may be wrong about the diagnosis. I know some people dislike so-called weasel words, but doctors should be using them regularly.
We are not talking about video games. Business software that gives a company some edge, give the company using your pirated software a greater edge because they don't have the expense that the legitimate company paying for the software does. That is the value, and in this case you are very much 'rewarding' the theif and punishing the 'sucker' who pays you. Why would you do this?
Show HN: Dropshipping with Remix, Printful, Stripe, and Cloudinary
While playing and learning Remix.run I pulled in the Printful API to display products. Well... after many hours, this turned into a little CMS that allows you to mange your products, orders, and media.

Started with the Remix Blues Stack with the addition of:
- Printful for merchandise and fulfillment
- Stripe for payment processing
- Cloudinary media hosting and delivery
- SendGrid for sending transactional emails

The Blues Stack has tailwind, prisma with Postgres, and deployment with fly.io

Remix has been a lot of fun to work with and learn. You can play with a live store at dropshipjs.com and you can grab the code at: https://github.com/braginteractive/dropshipjs

Looking forward to hearing your feedback.

The author needs iTunes Match. For some reason  doesn't want anyone knowing about this service but it's the only way to sync your own music in Music.app.

Of course, he could have just used Files.
iTunes was set up to organize and listen to a music collection instead of just showing a table of music files. That was a pretty good experience and I don’t know of any other app that does that even today.
I like Agile, but I hate “Agile” (that is, how Agile is interpreted and implemented by the management of the companies I’ve worked at).
I worked at Allstate years ago, and was on the team that piloted Agile (Scrum). It was done by the book, and I thought it was awesome. We had a quick scrum meeting each day, and the retros and plannings were only on Wednesdays. Sprints ended on Wednesdays.
Most companies have their sprints start or end on Monday or Friday, but those are COMMON days for people to take PTO, nevermind national holidays are usually on those days.
That was the first company i worked at which was Agile, and I haven’t been to a company since that did it as effectively. Ironic that it was Allstate. Just about everything else about the company absolutely sucked.
Sounds like a dead keyboard.
this is really nice and I am actually designing a very similar board right now. People online kept telling me that 'Ergo' means it should have <40 keys, but sorry no, the desk real estate is very cheap and I can use a 70-80 key keyboard as a 40-key keyboard just fine. Having a tiny finger-cramping device just so it looks "clean" is worse than Apple slimming down their phones.

I forsee a minor surge of full-size split ergos and that's a great thing.
The people who sign affidavits don't commit perjury, because the people who sign affidavits and those who lead parallel construction are at least two links apart. The way it happens like this: X tells Y to look out for A's vehicle on I-15. Y calls another agency to check on A's vehicle. Now another agent C from another agency leads the investigation. X is totally out of picture in these prosecutions.
I don’t think Music is really intended for this use case.
Maybe look at third party apps that let you play local files like Vox Music Player.
If you want to stick with Music you can always subscribe to iTunes Match that will sync your local files libraries seamlessly
No, I don't use tiktok or instagram.
We are (were) deeply/widely invested into the whole Apple ecosystem, and they are very rapidly losing that spot in our lives/homes. Nearly every interaction has become immediately frustrating. Moving away from all of it. There's zero possibility of help with any of it, and less than zero possibility of their fixing any of it. Major bummer.
These conclusions seem premature.

> To reconcile this statement with his admission that ChatGPT reliably turns out passable results, we must assume the average student simply rearranges word patterns as well.

Alternative explanation: the “passable results” test does not distinguish between ”rearrange word patterns” and whatever the students might otherwise be up to.

> So developmentally, this must be a mile marker on the road to competence.

Alternative: the students with passable results are not on the way to competence

Other alternative: it is a mile marker for students but not for the AI (just as learning to walk mile be a mile marker for human babies on the way to baseball playing, but not for foals, who learn fast to walk and never to play baseball).

I didn't even mind it on Windows, honestly. The installation process was convoluted and it was a bit resource-heavy to run, but I liked it more than Winamp and Windows Media Player at the time. It was a flawed port, but still nice to use.

Some of the principles are actively harmful, like welcoming changing requirements late in the process.
IIRC, forward error: the error between the given answer and the right answer to the given question.

Backward error: the error between the given question, and the question whose right answer is the given answer.

Easier to parse like this: a small forward error means that you give an answer close to the right one.

A small backward error means that the answer you give is the right answer for a nearby question.

Apple never really wanted to have the concept of files seep into iOS.
A company that values programming over its business won't stay around long (see the recent front page submission called something like "your stack is not your product"). Sales is what covers payroll.

However a company that values programming over managing will prosper more than a company that values managing more than programming. Just enough management that everybody knows they're working on the right thing is best for all (including the managers).

Process for its own sake (I'm looking particularly at cargo-culting "agile" astronauts) sucks the life out of everybody involved.
This is me. Sadly I switched roles into a people code by their pants and projects sometimes ship type of company and now I'm on existential pain every day.
Any position where you'd be in zugzwang is a good example.

A more interesting question is how do you search the infinite state space. Intuitively, many states that are formally different aren't meaningfully different from each other and can be assimilated.

It is called survivorship bias. For example I can look back to 80s NES games. Some of those games are very good. But I would say 80% of the total catalog were either very bland or just outright bad. Most consumer type goods have this issue. In 30 years we will look back at this time and say 'they dont make XYZ like they used to' then point at the cream of the crop of whatever genre XYZ is in for this year. Just remember the same year that Shawshank Redemption came out so did Police academy mission to Moscow.

So many times I've wanted a quick histogram of a list of values to get a feel for their distribution, but it's always felt like it's too much effort with the tools that I had available to me. This is perfect for it! Would be nice to be able to specify the bin size or clamp the values to a range, but that can be done with other tools in the pipeline.
Other options

We had this happen too. In our case, our software required our hardware to function so we put the recurring license on the hardware instead of the software. It's been about 8 years since then and nobody has been able to crack that system yet. Some software that doesn't need hardware also uses a small hardware key to enforce licensing.

Going forward, you could make it so the user has to login to your service when they launch your software. You could provide extra value to your paying customers through this channel too. You would run into some other challenges such as shared passwords, but those have some mitigation strategies too.
By all means start the business. You'll soon realize that the regulatory overhead is draining your resources (can't pay the bills) and the FDA doesn't have enough mobile inspectors available to inspect the beef. Of course these aren't problems for Tyson Foods Corp... Crony capitlism is heavily entrenched in the US.
I don't see that mentioned anywhere in this post?

It even explicitly states "Content already released under 1.0a will also remain unaffected."

(though ideally they'd, you know, make that legally binding.)

I am here to say that both "too much" and "too little" process are shitty. I have been at companies with too much process (medical devices) and companies with WAY to little process, and both places are an absolute nightmare. What you want is a process that ensures features are spec'ed out properly, testing is performed, deployment is smooth, and etc., with a lot less or zero of the "put your hours into the Jira ticket" type bullshit.

A lot of big players like adobe and microsoft don't seem to think this is a problem. In the past I have gotten cracks for legitimately purchased software from both because their licensing system is/was crap and would block access thinking my copy was not valid.

Pretty bad when the pirated versions of your software work better than the legit copy.

Firefox didn't always work as well in an SSO corporate environment, where Chrome was able to shoe-in for IE.

From a sysadmin perspective, Firefox having its own cert store instead of relying on system store was an extra hurdle for corp IT people.

Then there is the fact that Chrome goes out of its way to integrate with Google's other properties which they market to corporations to replace Office.

So I'm saying, I believe FF would have done better if they tried harder to integrate with corporate environments without compromising on their capability and independence. Name recognition is a big thing.
I do use Kagi. Most people haven’t heard of it though.
Does anyone here have stories of triple faults actually occuring on a mainstream operating system? From what I can tell it seems like there's very few situations in which the CPU won't be able to get to the double fault handler.
It can't be quite that simple in general. There have always been really fun cars, even some that were sedans. Maybe the niche Tesla figured out how to exploit was stoplight racers. Enthusiasts have never had trouble finding fun daily drivers.
I'm glad to hear others experiences match my own. Sometimes when some bizarre behavior manifests I can never quite tell if I'm the bozo who did something silly and tickled some feature unbeknownst to me or if the device did something truly unexpected and buggy. You'll probably get a kick out of this characterization I made recently in another post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34157476.

Another characterization I've made is that Apple is a primarily a hardware company, they don't have the software chops and are scrambling to try to backfill that skillset. They overly reward the bright and shiny but eventually the inability to tame complexity will be their downfall.

Wait until he tries to search for this file. The main "Search" field use to just filter music based on the string. But since iTunes became Music, it now shows an auto-curated screen of crap you don't want.

...and the old search is moved to Songs -> (upper right) "Show filter field". They even change the shortcut key, which is the worst part imo.
