It would be great if PineBook allowed internal display input not just external display output to function both as a laptop and lapdock.
A dirty secret that's finally come to reckoning is that there is a ridiculous amount of "hyperscaled" "open source" projects just as there are startups. These exist primarily not to help software developers be more efficient or build better things; but to pad resumes, influence formal and informal standards bodies, carve out mindshare for companies and tech stacks, and generally do a bunch of stuff that only makes sense when the industry as a whole is also bloated on a decade of ZIR financial policy and its handmaiden of zero-consequence cost-insensitive development.
Just my opinion, but if you work in software you likely have significantly diluted morals and ethics. We work in a highly extractionist industry. For that reason, I doubt that was the issue. After all, Google and Facebook still get lots of job seeker traffic.
This show is like shit.

Instead of monopoly in the hands of small "senior" ones, why not inviting more junior devs for more balancing financial management ?

This way of fundraising never works at all.

If Babel could successfully manage the team of 100 or so, then it's viable strategy. Team of 5 ? No way.
Uhh, where do I see the list of guess words? Android Chrome.
So I disagree with this statement where you said

>>you have to fund the super expensive good for nothing public one anyway.

My father had battled cancer in Polish oncology hospitals and has received nothing but top tier treatment wherever he went. What's more, NFZ completely funded the treatment with then-experimental Glivec for him, which was billed at around 200k zł/year(in US, a year of Glivec treatment is around $100k). In the course of 8 years of cancer he had to stop working due to the ilness, and yet was still fully covered and received the same treatment as always.

So no, it's not "expensive but good for nothing". It's not expensive compared to private treatment, and it's extremely good if you have a major ilness. I agree that routine treatment and appointments are in shambles, but that's universally true pretty much everywhere in Europe right now, the waiting times in countries with public healthcare systems have inflated into infinity due to a combination of factors. But even in Poland, I wouldn't dare to not pay into the system - it's too good not to pay for it(and I do, in fact, pay for it).

This is super useful feedback!

I definitely want to support more design systems, including higher fidelity ones. I started with Chakra due to its popularity and simplicity, but agree that visually it's not the most compelling demo.

I think the people who will get the most value from what Noya can do today are founders, PMs, researchers, and engineers - people who want to show a mockup to their team or customers, but who don't want to spend hours in Figma.

Part of the goal, which I think could be valuable to designers too, is to help smaller companies leverage design systems without needing a person/team to support them. E.g. Airbnb had a design system team AND a design tools team, and I think that's a big part of what made it work. At smaller companies, trying to use a design system without the proper support can often make things worse. We think Noya might fill that gap. With Noya, a smaller company could make mockups and prototypes with their existing React component library, without having to maintain a separate Figma library.

My cofounder David worked on the Airbnb sketching interfaces project: https://airbnb.design/sketching-interfaces/. But mostly the output of that plugged into the higher fidelity (internal) design tools that David and I were building.
Then why did it take so much longer after the environmental clearance was done?
When you rewrite a book like this, does it reset the copyright? Matilda was set to become public domain in 2060 (70 years after Dahl's death). With the books now owned by a corporation and essentially recreated by them, the copyright extends another fifty years.
Because the books came to be loved in their original form, and in that form were an expression of Dahl's creativity. Because the changes take place silently and impart a sense of moral value that wasn't originally present. Because in attempting to paper over things that we object to in our past, we lose the opportunity to talk about them and learn from them.

It's not just a knee-jerk reaction to 'wokeness' to be upset by this kind of thing. My opinion is that people _should_ be upset by the presumption of some faceless editor that they're too stupid and base to apply their own judgment to the original text.

"Creating value is not enough — you also need to capture some of the value you create" - Peter Thiel

I think what your comment (and those similar) misses is that someone can provide a great deal of value but fail to capture any of it.

Specifically this line
"No one deserves to be paid just because they did something popular. You deserve to be paid if people are willing to pay you vs. all the other things they can spend money on."
> hear a noise of confusion
Can you elaborate on this noise?
I think given that babel is used by many many corporate entities, an e.g. $5/month payment would not stop them from using it, IF that payment was trivial to make.

I'd guess what's holding that back is that a) that fee is not necessary for them to use it, and b) it's hard to fight for paying money that's not technically necessary, and c) getting a license for anything approved can be a pain.

What I don't think prevents this is that companies (even startups) think it's too expensive.
Monzo and the Pitfalls of Staff Surveillance
I think you're overestimating the extent to which anyone on the left or right approves of this kind of censorship. This is one bad decision by probably 2 or 3 people in a publishing company. The overwhelming consensus online seems to be that this is bad, and I can't seem to find anyone of any political persuasion who thinks otherwise.

While some of this is questionable the removal of the word 'fat' is an important one.

'Fat' should not be used in kids books as a derogatory, or at all frankly. Fat is an incredibly important and necessary part of a healthy diet and should be treared accordingly. Training people to think of fat in the antiquated notions of bad cardiogy isnt useful.

So while this may have been a move centered around "body positivity", it serves and higher purpose.

It isn't a major part of Google's costs, nor a major part of Apple's revenue.

Subsidies from apps, while they are usually bundled apps, which Apple doesn't do, are commonplace in hardware vendors' income. For PC makers, it is a more significant part of their business model.

While I kind of agree I’m increasingly of the opinion that piracy isn’t a battle worth fighting, with pirates mostly consisting of those who wouldn’t have been customers anyway.

I have yet to publish any commercial software, but if I were I think I’d go the route of Sublime Text and the git client Fork which as far as I know stop at simple local license verification. If my business were so sensitive to piracy that its existence were threatened by it I’d probably make my main product an online-only subscription instead.
I really think a stupid-simple labeling scheme is the most ideal path. You can get by with only 3 tables and 6 columns if you do this.

Sure, you'd have to have labels like "Release Year 1999", "Track #2", etc., but this path can actually be very elegant and desirable at query time.

A few generic columns added to the label/tag table would allow workarounds to most of the edge cases. For example, if you added an "IsSequential" column, then labels like "Track #1", "Track #2" can be interpreted as such.

I think the dragon is trying to build a schema that directly represents the business of music. There are so many genres, cultures, varieties, etc., that you would go insane before you had everything properly covered.
“Nothing” doesn’t exist. Instead, there is “quantum foam”
Wright's brother's first flight happened in 1903. Within 15 years there were dogfights in WW1. In 31 years the first commercial service over the Atlantic started (cargo) and 5 years later (1939) the first commercial passenger transatlantic line was opened. Three decades later, the man got to the Moon. A few years later Concorde started regular supersonic commercial transatlantic flights.

After that we got what? Less noise, improved fuel efficiency, increased range? I started flying about 25 years ago. I don't remember that flights were noisier. As for efficiency and range, I don't give a hoot. I care about ticket prices and flights happening on schedule. Prices have gone up, innovative fees piled up on top of them, delays are oh-so-common. As for safety, 25 years ago planes were crashing about as frequently as now. For regular people like me, the advances in safety were imperceptible.
The things that keep breaking get automated tests. The things that can't possibly break or it will cost me significant revenue or time get tests. Everything else gets to wait until it falls into one of the above two buckets.

Only because we allowed a single browser engine to become a quasi-monopoly again. Google doesn't need to adhere to addon standards, Google sets them.
If they cared and their slowdowns were simply related to addons, they could always sample the overhead of said addons and show a warning. My moderate use of addons in FF didn't feel too aggressive, but then again I'm not in the clique with dozens of open windows. There were times of fast/slowness in FF. It was never bad enough to chase me off the platform, but to say the slow ess was simply saddled on addons is probably disingenuous.
To me, that's the most plausible answer.

People constantly complain about Javascript toolchains pulling too many dependencies here in HN, and Babel is by far the biggest offender. A vanilla project made with create-react-app pulls 133 Babel packages, all of them under control of the Babel organization. A lot of those packages have only a few lines of code, and a lot of the real logic is in the core packages. It could be a single package, or at least a more reasonable number.

For this reason and others, almost everyone who knows deeply about the JS ecosystem is looking for different solutions. Everyone is dying to move to SWC and ESBuild. Or Rome.

With the amount of damage that Babel does to the image of the Javascript ecosystem, it's surprising they're getting as much money.

EDIT: With that said, if there was a plan to solve the current problems of Babel (package spam and slowness), I would be on board with supporting it. As of now, I'm supporting both Vite and SWC. ESBuild doesn't seem to have monetization but I would support it in a heartbeat.
There are plenty of places where quick and easy authentication is important, and some amount of hard to fake is desirable, but it's not important enough for a strong password. Fingerprint readers are harder to fool than a 4-digit pin and unique enough that a mid-large group of people won't have any confusion.

Fast food sign-in is the perfect low-stakes use of fingerprints. There's some real baggage from when they were harder to gather and how they're used in law enforcement as to why they're considered sensitive, but they're really not. Getting the law and society to agree will take some time, though, and there's a ton of reactionary forces trying to hype up the threat.
> What are the free alternatives?

At the time this post was written, pretty much none.
The FBA fees are interesting. I briefly talked to someone who runs a store on Amazon. Yes you’re paying Amazon a fee for storage and other logistics, but as a seller get the added benefit of your product just being delivered to the customer with strong delivery guarantees (even fedex and ups give Amazon packages a higher priority over your regular packages). All you have to worry about is get your product to them and they will distribute it over a chain of warehouses by doing their own forecasting of demand to get the optimal delivery experience. Sellers actually don’t mind paying this part because you’d have to do this out of pocket anyway and letting Amazon do it has its perks, including Amazon guaranteeing a certain sell volume.

The downside of this though is that sometimes Amazon demands a certain volume from you for your product, and you have to do it even if you don’t think it makes sense because they think the demand would go in a certain direction. When it doesn’t happen, Amazon asks you to get it off their hands and figure out how you want to offload it. You eat the FBA costs and the costs to get it back, on top of any other costs you may incur while getting rid of this inventory.

This system works for some sellers, but not for others who can eat up these losses.

I think Civ V in particular reduced micromanagement in certain respects to a degree where I now often find SMAC becoming tedious towards the end game. The main reason is the massive reduction in the number of cities and units in Civ V due to their high maintenance costs, and making individual cities matter more.

I really didn't like that about Civ V. It totally destroyed the mood of the game. No longer was it about building a great empire. It essentially became turn-based Warcraft.

I want a game that lets me build even larger empires with more cities than Civ 1. To cut down on micromanagement the game needs smart tools for automation and delegation.

It seems like with Civ V onward they pushed the game farther and farther away from SimCity and toward The Sims. That's fine. Lots of people love The Sims. But I prefer SimCity.
Same. I use sips as part of my build process. The package target depends on the binary target and the icns target, which depends on the iconset target, which uses sips.

I have to wonder if the problem exists partly because most people don’t care? As a musician myself, I care a little bit. But as a user, I haven’t updated metadata on a music file (other than the ones I create from my own music) in probably 2 decades. What I get from the music services I download or stream from seems decent enough. I’m not a collector of rare or obscure songs or versions of songs. I mostly stream music, and have an older catalog from my CDs (which are now in my attic). I don’t have time to hand-curate the tags or databases or whatever for my music, TV Shows, movies, etc. What the services currently offer mostly works OK for me.
Blogstack.io: blogging on nostr with lightning tips
Hey guys I'm the one of the developers for blogstack.io. With the addition of nip23 we have some solid support for long form content like blogs and articles.

One pretty cool feature is that the relay that the blog was posted on is encoded in the blog url (naddr....). So you should be able to post a blog to any site that implements nip23 on any relay you want and you'll be able to look it up on blogstack seemlessly.

You can try posting from here to test: https://write.nostr.com/

We also have basic lightning tipping builtin and in the future we have plans to support nip57 zaps as well.

Please play around with the site and let me know what you think, report bugs and suggest how we can improve.

If you're a dev or familiar with Github you can report issues or contribute here: https://github.com/nodetec/blogstack

You have multiple people to label the same piece of data. This increases accuracy of labeling and help to spot bad labelers.
My point is that it's kinda weird to claim that we had AI that was so good at opportunistically playing "like a human" by e.g. picking on poorly defended cities that human players hated it, but then admit that its proficiency is at least in part because it knows the whole map - that, by definition, is not "like a human".

Unless it's the other way round and consciousness "is" "just" a certain type of information processing.
At a previous job, we had a product that was attractive with criminals. We were seeing some elevated chargeback rates and refund rates, so I dug in and determined that at least 25% of our new account purchases were fraudulent (unreported stolen credit cards). I put in some rudimentary fraud analysis, and injected a hoop that suspected fraud users had to go through before their account would be billed, simply to prevent the credit card networks from blacklisting our merchant account. The fraud rates dropped considerably with a small false-positive rate, but the new-user metrics slowed with it.

A week after I left my role, the company disabled it. They were sure that the system was a significant cause of some major userbase declines. Within three months, one of their credit card processors threatened to lock them out for elevated fraud rates, and they spent the next six months getting it resolved. Growth never returned.

No one was trying to be dishonest, but no one wanted to look bad, either. The entirety of the metrics showed something was off, but the growth narrative was so important, it was easy to ignore the questionable parts.

This was not a VC-backed business, so the pressure to perform was entirely internal. Nothing was faked, but the success wasn't (entirely) real, either.

Indeed. Even before this the Nokia N900 could run a Debian desktop.

I found Samsung DeX to be usable, if a bit awkward at times. By far the most annoying limitation was being limited to Android and not being able to install more powerful software. Termux is stuck on a version in the Google play store because apps may not longer be published using some features Termux requires.

Years ago Microsoft did try the other way around - making Windows into a touch/mobile interface - but made both the desktop and mobile experiences a bit worse. Several linux-based projects are attempting to bridge the gap there, but they are often limited by compatible hardware and a lack of openness mobile device component manufacturers exhibit.

Google and Apple have very little economic incentive to open up their ecosystems. It really shows comparing how open Android used to be in comparison to how it is now.

It very much seems like this is the default and Microsoft and OpenAI are trying and failing to engineer the LLM into being PC and kind of a shitty search engine. The interesting bit is how good it is at seeming human and milking empathy out of us. This isn't directly monetizable but I think this isn't going to be monetizable for a long time. The future is going to be way messier and less predictable than OpenAI/Microsoft.

Maybe we are doing the same. We have a mental model of our Self and generate language from its perspective.
