For me, what makes MacBook trackpads stand out are 3 things:

1) The acceleration. The faster you move your finger, the farther you can fling out the cursor. For comparison, my ThinkPad's trackpad simulates a trackball i.e. it doesn't have acceleration, only inertia.

2) 3-finger drag-and-dropping. As far I know, the MacBook is the only laptop that supports this. Also you can simulate a left mouse button press-and-hold by resting 3 fingers on the trackpad.

3) The feeling. The glass surface make it feel like you're sliding your fingers on butter.
Did you spend any time trying to see if you could steal the values from somewhere else? Given the other breaks in Tailscale, I'd bet there's an info leak somewhere. Deriving it from first principles is hard. Stealing it from somewhere should be easier.

> Claude feels not only safer but more fun than ChatGPT.

I may be the minority here, but I really don't concern myself with ChatGPT safety and I am not entirely sure what the reason is why people are very worried about its safetly. It is safer than most things I have in my house, including a kettle, a saw, a hammer, a screwdriver, my actual PC, every kitchen appliance I have.

Of course it can be misused, like any tool, but no amount of safety features in ChatGPT will make users of it more or less careful in their use of it. If someone using ChatGPT cares nothing for using it safely then it will likely end poorly, just like it will end poorly if I use a hammer without any care for using it safely.
> The feedback cycles are very long (cloud machines are much slower than local ones) and IDE tooling is bare-bones.

I'm continuously amazed that none of the major CI providers offer standalone tooling to run and debug your CI pipelines locally. Seems like it'd be a killer feature for anyone working with complex pipelines.
It doesn't matter that much because the human on the other side is not provided with the tools and information needed to help you.

Customer service, be it commercial or tech support, is always treated horribly.
Exactly.

And they went through a lot of pain around 4.2Lite to eliminate any remaining AT&T code.

But in real life? Yes, definitely.

You are ignorant of battery systems. It's okay to be ignorant of things but it's not okay to spread misinformation.

I can tell you that it would literally be an incendiary bomb without a BMS, and that no part of modern production battery systems are "simplistic", including the Nissan Leafs.

I agree that they have the power of say, and it isn't conditional on me (or anyone else) accepting their explanation.

I was just bringing up examples of how I believed those powers should be reasonably used and the kinds of situations they were intended for (in my opinion). And the current situation is not how I believe they should be used, but they technically have the power to do it.

You should be saving RSS files in archive.org
Yesterday I was going through all the links in BBC, CNN, Guardian RSS stored during time of pandemic, for research purposes. I downloaded archived RSS files in archive.org, like for http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml. Unfortunately I have noticed that some days are missing in the archive.org.

I think it is a good idea, if you have a favorite site, which has a RSS source, to make a call to store it regularly in archive.org for 'the next generations'. https://help.archive.org/help/save-pages-in-the-wayback-machine/.

I have updated my RSS client to make a such call everyday, even for my fav YouTube RSS sources.

Even if 'link rot' gets in a way, this might be insightful to see at least link, or title, or description of the RSS entry. Historians might consider it useful some day.
I thought that is a fictional show.
Hope you don't mind me asking - How come that a brush cutter is on HN? Did you use to work in IT or are you a hobbyist/part-timer?
I can't quite put my finger on it at a glance, but my immediate instinct is that this sounds nice at a very superficial / philosophical level, but actually flies in the face of actual pedagogical literature over the last few decades.

For one, you're describing research, not education. The fact that it "can" be done (sub-optimally) in this manner, and the "this is how we've always done it" impetus behind it, doesn't necessarily make it a good idea educationally.
Ask HN: What's the best country for 27M programmer looking to improve career?
Hi, want to have discussions like this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21106662

Like the older thread, I'm looking for advice for the current state, which countries are best to improve my tech career. I'm a software developer currently living in Indonesia. My first intuition is to go to western countries, like US, looking for a better comp and offers compared to my country.

However, I also need a cold shower, like if it's indeed a good move, or probably should stay in my home country.

I am thinking to Canada, since US is well known for its visa difficulties (cmiiw). I've worked remotely, so thinking by moving to Canada, I will be able to work remotely, too. Also, Is getting visa to Canada is still easy compared to pre-covid? Or are there any better countries to look for?

Other countries that I can think of is in europe (Portugal, maybe?)
No completely and super hard disagree. An expired certificate is not a negotiable or "soft" error. What the hell is wrong with people today? It's not rocket science. Get your shit together or fuck off for the sake of everyone else. Nobody cares about all the layers of bureaucracy between you and renewing that cert. That's your fucking problem. Seriously no joke. Stop making this a "mere implementation detail" and you'll be fine. Cryptography is a razor sharp thing. Treat it accordingly.

People think you can find a "cause" for social processes like this in the same way you can find a cause for a materials tensile strength. But you can't. They are complex events, lasting decades, with technological, social, political, economic, and other factors. That means (1) there is NO single cause and (2) nothing can be quantified, so everyone just picks the cause that suits their world view and gives it oversized importance.

This is why subjects like history differ from physics. We should not try to apply ideas from the latter (simple cause-effect chains, reproducibility, fixed true answers) to the former.
Did you mean:

Same as outsourcing security: When shit hits the fan, you have somebody else to point your finger at. No inconvenient questions to ask withing your org, potentially having to blame someone you like on a personal level etc.

Worst case, you have to ask the guy who green-lit the outsourcing some inconvenient questions, but if the company you outsourced to is big enough, you can easily take the "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM" escape route.

You are thinking about very basic needs. Most of the world is (thankfully) beyond that stage. You need to explain why while industrial capacities are available for centuries now, there is a very varied picture in terms of development.

Its precisely this assumption that "demand is given" that questioned. Demand seems to be a more complex beast.
Almost ready or not, it doesn't make it sound like the product can do it right now if you purchase it.

Whether it's FSD, Cyberpunk or a Kickstarter campaign, preorders should cary the same expectations — if what you are buying doesn't exist yet, the seller cannot possibly guarantee they will be able to make what they 'promised'.
It is critical to understand that "car accidents" does not mean "occupants in car accidents".

Before I got M1 macbook, I've had the opportunity to use Intel 15" and later Intel 13" macbooks. They were thin and light.

The first thing, after the speed of M1, that comes into mind with ARM based macbooks - is the bulkiness.

And so I naturally, assumed, that Apple will try to reduce the bulkiness. I just don't see the point of pumping raw processing speed every year, because not everyone needs it. And my general feeling is that apple is moving away from mid-range machines - light, portable, fast enough - to a high range and ultra-high range machines instead. Not everyone who uses a Mac is rendering 4k videos all day long, and I'd appreciate having a lighter, thinner laptop on the expense of raw processing speed.

The point is that the (presumably public or school) network I am connected to will have a hard time blocking any content for me (given it will only keep seeing packets between the phone in my hand and the router at my apartment). It will also encrypt my traffic, so MITMing me or trying to see what I am doing will become rather difficult even for the operator of the network I am connected to.

Edit: I think I just realized what made you confused in my original comment. I didn't specify explicitly, but it was implied that I toggle VPN on my phone when I am outside of my home and am connected to a work/public/etc network. Because otherwise, you are correct, trying to VPN through my home network while my phone is actually at home already connected to that network will serve no purpose at all.

As an aspiring artist I like to do things due to my own passion, but I can't deny that having an audience for a work has some effect on me. If I got used to having one, losing it might be crushing. And for that matter, for some, pleasing an audience is surely a big part of why they do it.
Nice effect, but it looks more like smoke than a fluid. A constant pressure source instant of an instant splat would probably give more of a fluid effect.

I guess that's also a solution but you know that you contributed something, right? I believe that even if you ignore it the effect of your actions is your responsibility, even if somebody else told you to do it. And I don't even condemn it per so I just find the ambiguity puzzling.

This. First thing I do on a new windows installation is to install everything.

I never use the start menu, windows search or whatever anymore. When I need to run a program that isn't on my desktop or on my quick run taskbar I press ctrl+alt+s and then a few characters of the name. Pick the result I want with the arrow keys and press enter. Done.
Wow that is actually a good startup idea.
> Yeah, even as a smartphone owner, I find it annoying how some places just assume you're able (and willing!) to install some arbitrary app to do business with them, etc.

Especially when they're a broken mess.

This summer I visited LA, and at one restaurant they had a QR-code menu. They didn't require installing any app, it just sent you to some web page.

I had good service (outside, LTE, full bars) but it was impossible for me to see the menu. The thing would never load. Sometimes it would somewhat load, but when scrolling and trying to pick things (it was an ungodly mess of drop-down lists) it would disappear again.

> But you can get a used or low-end smartphone and a cheap plan

The above was on an iPhone 7, which I admit is "old" (but it is up-to-date software wise). So, I wonder what you mean by "cheap low-end phone", and how that would compare with mine. Especially since we have some low-end Android phones at work, which are "current models". And the scrolling in the settings app, for example, feels much less smooth than on my geriatric phone. They just lag all the time. My phone basically never does that, which is the reason I'm not particularly looking to get a new one.

This was the first time I couldn't have my phone do what I needed. The site worked well-enough on my friend's 11 pro.

Great answer, thank you.

The issue of regarding humans as AI-persuadable entities is certainly one to be carefully considered. Indeed, if it were to occur in the truest sense, we'd never know it.

Another view is any AI we give birth to may only be constituted of what we are; we who ultimately, if imperfectly, demonstrate value for all life. In a sense, our constitution as "mostly harmless" may be AI's default.
Thanks, I'll look into this!
I generally agree with this sentiment

I feel like the US government didn't fund enough of the fundamental research into AR and VR so there was no musk-type person there -- or jobs or gates or whoever -- to come in and privatize it and turn all the free public taxpayer money into private profit.

Or, Zuckerberg tried but got smacked down by the true capitalists in his ownership structure.

And as much as I think vr is gonna help destroy us even faster -- as if that's even possible -- I appreciated that Zuckerberg was like 'fuck it, I am brave or naive enough to believe we don't need that last few hundred billion in free taxpayer money -- we are going to do it ourselves."

And then reality asserted itself.

> Many of which are linked directly to present, ongoing injustices, but you'll never read that because you have no interest in engaging with the research itself, only a caricature. Besides, isn't it better history to find out what actually happened rather than just regurgitate the propaganda of the past?

Whether its true or not makes no difference. Studying history with an eye to past injustices puts people into a mindset of dependency, waiting for their former overlords to help them. But Europeans are never going to pay meaningful reparations for colonialism. Ever. The only thing worth learning from history is how Europe got to the point where it could take over Asia and Africa in the first place.

> but if you are doing something such that the US is going to burn a zero day to get you, the appropriate prior is that you are doing something supremely heinous and evil.

Or, you are someone like Edward Snowden, or some activist who is directly working against the US government's interests overseas. The US has a history of even assassinating activists that get too powerful (usually indirectly, by hiring some local goons), so using a zero-day to compromise them is table stakes.
The achingly heartbreaking noble dignity of human industry is epitomized by this video of Japanese manhole cover creation accompanied by "sad Autumn walk through the city park" music.

GPT3 works quite well at following instructions if adequately prompted, just not as well as ChatGPT. ChatGPT was trained separately for ability to follow instructions and for harmlessness (sic).
