My mother's iPhone 6 is running iOS 15, which will be supported by all the apps she uses for at least 2-3 more years, bringing the total lifetime of her smartphone close to 10 years.

Sure, Apple is pretty draconian when it comes to how much the developers have to keep their tooling up to date, but that's not the same on the consumer side anymore
There is a marked difference in the needs of a block charger and an electric car - block heaters draw between 4-10a, a car charger will draw 15+ (as much power as can be supplied).
> Now, is it really because we compete with Github? Honestly, probably not, but controversy drums up interest and we need interest so that someone out there on the Internet can tell us what we're doing wrong.

It's pretty slimy to imply in the clickbait title that you're being blocked due to competing with MS, when you know well that it's not the reason. Admitting it's clickbait in the last paragraph doesn't make it any better.

The HN title should really be edited to remove the "We compete with GitHub" part.
I don't know if it's still the case but on my old iPhone 6s, the geekbench score would differ depending on how full the battery is. Apparently Apple was pushing these processors on the limits of what the battery can deliver and once the battery degraded they need to lower the CPU/GPU speeds to prevent the device shutting off suddenly.

It even turned into a huge scandal of "Apple deliberately slowing down old iPhones" which was portrayed as if Apple is doing it to make you buy a new iPhone.
Insulin is cheap.

Long acting insulin is not.

They are different products, and the formers patent being free has nothing to do with the later innovations being locked down.
Show HN: We've built ChatGPT for your own pdf files
My friends and I were really excited to try out ChatGPT when it was released. We were amazed by its power and capabilities.

We were thinking how great it would be if people could use ChatGPT to ask questions from their own data. So me and my friends had decided to build such a tool.

We are delighted to announce that we are releasing a public beta of our tool

After you upload all your pdf files into it. It can search for relevant documents without perfect keyword match, summarize takeaways from the document specific to your question, and extract key information from the document. It can help with brainstorming and summarization.

We would love if hackernews community try it out and let us know what they think about it.

We look forward to hearing your feedback on comments section below :)

The startup I was at had a ~10% layoff mid last September that I and several other senior (i.e. expensive) folks were caught in. I started a new, equivalent job in mid-November. It probably would've been quicker but my family and I have some somewhat edge case circumstances in play at the moment that mean I needed a job that'd let me be remote outside of the US. Some of that time too was choosing between two pretty compelling offers, so.

My deepest sympathies to anyone else facing this process right now. Even in a reasonably healthy (if not wildly overheated) hiring market, facing a layoff sucks. Best wishes to everyone out there.

Taking an ebike farther than the batteries range should be considered impossible. While it is possible to ride on a dead battery, the effort isn't worth it. Thus a regular bike has more range than an ebike.
It's not just the future, though the examples I gave were future oriented.

But it's all very interpolation/summarization-focused.

A "song lyrics in the style of Taylor Swift" isn't an actual song by Taylor Swift.

A summary of the history of Texas isn't actually vetted by any historian to ensure accuracy.

The answer to a math problem may not be correct.

To me, those things don't qualify as "new data." They aren't suitable for future training as-is. Sometimes for a simple reason: they aren't facts, using the dictionary "facts and statistics collected together for reference or analysis" definition of data. So very simply "not new data."

Sometimes in a blurrier way - the song lyrics, for instance, could be touching, or poignant, or "true" in a Keats sense[0] - but if the internet gets full of GPT-dreams and future models are trained on that, you could slide down further and further into an uncanny valley, especially since most of the time you don't get one of those amazing poignant ones. Most of the time I've gotten something bland.

GitHub was already fully remote since forever, and long before Covid. The offices were just there as an option for employees who happened to live nearby, and for occasional, in-person meetings, but I doubt there was a single person who worked there full time. This isn't big news for the majority of GitHub employees.
I have a sense of humor; the above was meh

Yeah, that's the whole problem with "make money in real estate" - either it requires (somewhat specialized) knowledge and risk-taking, or you're just gambling on insane appreciation and leveraging that.

Anything that "anyone can do" is going to explode at some point.

Nice! I'll take a look at that. Loc is funny because there are clearly tons of tools (both paid and free), but it's not that hard of a problem so it's easy to have the "not invented here" mentality and just do it yourself! I hoped by writing it up in a very Unity-specific way, I'd save some people some time even if they use another tool or write it themselves.
Good points, perhaps he was connected with American intelligence at such an early because his father's positions in defense and foreign affairs. Seems even more plausible.
> JS-dependent sites are crawlable

Yes, I know; but there are limits on this, otherwise people would be mining Bitcoin via search indexers and whatnot. Like I said: I don't know if this is a factor here, but it might be. It's something that should probably be addressed either way.

The initial render time is fine. It just constantly uses CPU, according to htop and the Firefox process viewer, and it noticeably slows down everything.

In theory, after the 2008 bailout, the Swiss people were promised that this would be the last time, and next time the bank(s) in question would be wound down.

I'm not super optimistic this actually is going to happen. On the other hand, in contrast to 2008, UBS, the other large bank, is not in crisis right now, so the argument that it's an enterprise rather than a sector problem is much stronger.

"To be sure, because they don’t have real signals from an extraterrestrial civilization, the researchers had to rely on simulated signals to train their models. The researchers note that this could lead to the AI system learning artifacts that aren’t there.

Still, Cherry Ng, one of the paper’s co-authors, points out the team has a good idea of what to look for.

“A classic example of human-generated technology from space that we have detected is the Voyager,” said Ng, who studies fast radio bursts and pulsars, and is currently affiliated with the French National Centre for Scientific Research, known as CNRS.

“Peter’s machine learning algorithm is able to generate these signals that the aliens may or may not have sent,” she said."

> It's probably not realistic to expect universal wired broadband in very rural areas.

I don't know why. It seems incredibly realistic to expect wired broadband in most rural areas. (We were able to provide them with power lines and telephone lines over 60+ years ago, there's no reason fiber would have to be any different)
I work at a company that did layoffs. I wasn't affected, but I happened to be looking for a new role anyways. I've had two positions get to the offer stage so far, fully remote. For mid-career devs there doesn't seem to be any shortage of work.
In the US, many people drive 5+hr long-distance trips a few times a year at least (visit relatives, vacation, etc). So the idea of either getting fleeced or stranded a few times a year is unappealing.

I did a discovery flight with my son last summer in a C172. We had a blast, but I was pretty surprised how old the plane felt. My recurring thought is that Cessnas are like the TI-85s of airplanes; ubiquitous workhorses frozen in time.

Is it just Cessnas though? Is this the way all small planes are?

Apple is definitely doing great. It just would be cool of them if they provided option to unlock the device so maye go back to an older iOS or repurpose it for something else.
Show HN: Verified-GPT on your files and videos
After playing about with this last summer for textbooks, we've built a way to chat with your files (PDF and PPTX) and youtube videos (results include timestamps).

Our key differentiator is we use comparisons to sources, implicative embeddings and can augment searches for better performance. There is a free live demo search on our website and you can add PDFs or YouTube videos to try it with. All media is carefully postprocessed (Advanced OCR, Whisper+Semantic magic) to get better results than our competitors. We stick to focusing on accurate answers, so you can't use a chat interface for now.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts!
I lives outside of the country since a while and they have been hounding me down to onboard. Hm
I'm not sure what you are saying. I don't think it is a moral or appropriate thing to do to a free individual who isn't hurting anyone, or even a prisoner for that matter.

I can think of examples of incredible torture that people have had imposed on them, I just don't see the relevance of the fact that it has been done before.
Similar to the housing market, the government created this problem in the first place.

What is even worse is that when you copy code from it it might introduce no break spaces that wont show upp in a code diff but e.g. break your server config.
Companies love Microsoft because of how many footguns they have available in settings and in group policy configuration. The defaults for so many of the applications are actually remarkably nice, and then it is amazing how many IT departments see the massive list of settings and group policy configurations as a buffet of "security options" rather than a terrifying hall of footguns, because who needs feet or nice things.
I absolutely consider every government elected with a minority of the votes under FPTP to have been illegitimate and undemocratic.

A government formed through negotiation is more democratic if you accept that a representative government can ever be democratic and that the parties actually represents the interests of their voters in as much as if neither party achieves a majority, then a compromise that provides for some of what is wanted by all is more democratic. If anything, I'd argue the broader coalition the more democratic - democracies are best measured by how well they ensure also the interests of the minorities are protected.
You're not paying for a depreciated product. You're paying for the maintenance and operating fees which don't depreciate in value.
I just have a 65W USB-C by my couch, which I use for everything. Charge my computer while on my lap, or my phone if it needs some more juice, my gopro after biking, my headset, my nintendo switch. Sooo convenient. One cable, works for every gadget I have.
Who are you blaming? People who have access to overnight charging and therefore are enthusiastic about EV ownership? The government? I'm confused. Are you saying that it's not okay to advocate for EV adoption without disclaiming every statement with "but only when we've figured out how to get grid access extended to everybody's parking spot?"

The grid already exists everywhere. Getting it out to the parking spots is mostly a tedious exercise in construction, not even much of an engineering problem. Yes let's encourage this construction. Incentivize it, even.
These mobile processors are very aggressive in lowering power demand when there is little computational load. Then, when you open an app or give it anything to do at all, power consumption jumps by orders of magnitude.

An aged battery will show big voltage drops under load. What was looking like a fine and dandy voltage (voltage is used to infer state of charge) can suddenly plummet. It can get so bad that your phone might even shut down because it starts to undervolt.

So, choosing between the lesser of two evils, iOS throttles down max. power draw, and thus max. processing speed, when the battery ages. The alternative would be random shutdowns, or your battery jumping from 80 to 8% suddenly.

In settings -> battery -> health & charging you can check in which regime you are.
It often isn't as good as an L2 charger, but it is usually better than an American L1 charger. Incidentally, I already see this effect in using an electric water kettle: in the USA they are really slow, but in Europe and Asia, they are much faster (because 230-240V).
At risk of encouraging the trend of HN turning into tech support, or worse ( guerilla-marketing bait), you should try Bing Webmaster Tools: https://www.bing.com/webmasters/about . If it's anything like Google's Search Console, there's plenty of information and tools to diagnose indexing issues.
Sony flagmans checks most of your boxes. Updates stop after 2 and a half years, true, but since it is android you can update to linageos. Battery life is pretty good, screen is excellent. As a bonus, it is less bulky than IPhone and bloatware... is manageable.
And while someone may abuse the engine block charger (I've seen someone plug in a mobile phone to one) the total cost is minuscule and not worth metering.

Not so for actual electric cars (you can plug one into a block charger but you won't get that many miles per hour) - especially on high-speed chargers that are 220 or 440 and many amps.
How does he know well that this is not the reason? No explanation has been given for Bing's very different treatment of the site than Google's. He says "probably not" because he isn't assuming guilt, but it may well be relevant.
lol same iphoneX here, just cracked my screen so maybe it us time to upgrade...
Yes and no. Yes, iPhones get throttled when the battery is on the verge of going ex, but no for this particular device. I run an iPhone X with a new battery from November 2021 (serviced by Apple), with maximum capacity at 90%, and it really is slower compared to the old days.

But!

I'm not complaining. It's an almost 6 year old device. That means, for every year of usage, I payed roughly 200€, or 16€ per month. That's not too shabby, tbh.
What the FAA has done to this guy is disgusting, they don't respond to requests and treat him like a little guy despite the impressive engineering here. I'm not a republican but this is a great example of government destroying innovation and progress through bureaucratic nonsense.

Just commenting to say, on this stale yet somewhat related thread, that I saw how your poll went O__O.

I wrote a comment predicting that it would get removed, but it was burned before I could even hit _add comment_.

I've seen reporting posts abused here with my own eyes. There are some topics which are simply not allowed, and will inspire quick and repeated removal - no matter how much interest the community has shown.

Discussing HN policy in this area is in fact one of those disallowed topics, as mentioning the topics is itself verboten.

Kinda funny to see 11 out of 30 people claiming it never happens.

I am curious though, if you're willing to say - what inspired the poll?
It also doesn't show google scholar and twitter for me when I recently switched to try out bing instead of google. With google the scholar and twitter results were in top 3 but couldn't find them with bing, even 4 or 5 pages down the line, while github and pytorch forum posts were available on the first page itself.
> But if you don't like the rules, change them.

That's what the vote to overrule the parlimentarian essentially does, for that one vote. Both parties have done so for judicial confirmations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_option; "a parliamentary procedure that allows the Senate to override a standing rule by a simple majority"

A court is not likely to agree with that.
Do not look directly at the Address Sanitizer Map
That's because Ars didn't do proper investigation into how storage is computed. One UI reports storage conversion losses associated with representing 1,024 bytes per KB as 1,000 bytes per KB. For example, a device advertised with 512 GB of storage actually has closer to 476 GB (GiB) of usable space. Likewise, a 128 GB model has approximately 119 GB of storage, with 256 GB yielding 238 GB of space.

Basically, higher the storage size, more the inaccuracies and more number of ghost storage will appear in system. It does this because [Android basically computes](https://twitter.com/MishaalRahman/status/1622706823940698114...) all files 'f' and empty size 'e' separately and finds the difference of given total size and (f+e) and assigns that to system.

To all the iphone diehards, I recently switched from Samsung to iphone 14PM and I whole heartedly hate following things:

1. The keyboard in ios: its unintuitive and ancient compared to the android counterparts. And No, Gboard, swiftkey keyboard in ios suck equally bad too.

2. Battery drain issues: Battery drains randomly, main culprit being "find my" process. This alone drains ~8% of battery overnight on my iphone and ~18% on my ipad overnight even with background app refresh turned off.

3. Lack of the back button is a huge pain in the ass. Some apps design their own navigation pattern and it sucks to operate the phone in 1 hand. For e.g, Youtube requires you to pull down on the video currently playing to go back to search results than allowing the native back swipe or back arrow on top left.

Meanwhile, I have agree that the apps in iOS are much nicer than the android apps, the same apps I used in android which sucked big time work flawlessly in iOS. FaceID is much reliable than the shitty in screen fingerprint readers in Samsung/Android phones.

So both Android and iOS have their pros and cons, and after using both, I can confidently say iphone is not the best phone in the world and user had to experience both to choose what suits them better.
This is pure clickbait and really doesn't leave a good impression of this team. Writing a whole article implying they're not being indexed because they are a Github Copilot competitor when they, themselves, don't believe it is farcical.

Title:

We compete with GitHub. Bing does not show our website

FTA:

Now, is it really because we compete with Github? Honestly, probably not, but controversy drums up interest and we need interest so that someone out there on the Internet can tell us what we're doing wrong. [...] we only care about getting as many software engineers to experience the power of generative AI for software development via our free product.
I'm particularly frustrated with the market for phones. I'w not going to buy an iPhone, and I'd really like to avoid the Google ecosystem (eg, by using GrapheneOS). I just received new Pixel 6a phones for me and my family yesterday only to discover that there's no 3.5mm jack.

I really feel like old man yelling at cloud, but the more advanced phones and the software get, the more I miss the days of my cheapy Motorola flip phone.
Indeed I remembered that wrongly. My bad.
Thanks! Are those IC or project/team lead positions?
> Imagine what it would look like if ChatGPT were a lossless algorithm. If that were the case, it would always answer questions by providing a verbatim quote from a relevant Web page. We would probably regard the software as only a slight improvement over a conventional search engine, and be less impressed by it

The story is an impressive piece, but I think as with many of us, it's a personal projection of expectations on results. One example from my experience. In the book "Jim Carter - Sky Spy, Memoirs of a U-2 Pilot" there was an interesting story about the moment when U-2 was used for capturing the photo of a big area at the Pacific to save the life of a lost seaman. The story was very interesting and I always wanted to know more, technical details, people involvement etc. Searching with Google ten years ago didn't help, I rephrased the names, changed the date (used even the range operator) to no avail. And recently I asked several LLM-based bots about it. You can guess it. They ignored my constrains at best and hallucinate at worst. One even invented a mixed reality story when Francis Gary Powers actually flew not one but with a co-pilot and the latter ended up in the Pacific and was saved. Very funny, but I wasn't impressed. But if one of them scraped the far corners of web discussion boards and saved a first-person account of someone who took part in it and gave it to me, I would be really impressed.
Same, comcast offered me a quote for around $250k. I'll just check the couch cushions...

There was a comcast truck driving down the street a while back (before we had starlink) and I literally chased him down and asked if they were installing broadband. He was a little confused, and then said "no, I'm just checking the line levels...but you're the fourth person to ask me that on this street"
