Hilarious to call it a market failure. If you deregulate childcare, something or another will appear at every price point. You may not like some of those solutions, but they'll exist.
To clarify, your phone tells you he left his phone behind? Or the airtag on the keys tells you that the phone was left behind? Cus the latter sounds awesome for my use case.
Agreed, I think the better approach is to do some custom tuning but that becomes cost prohibitive very quickly. Not really much different than Algolia with a minor GPT-3 integration but neat project regardless.
The opposite, really: they’re relying on non-stop action and familiar franchises to keep viewers from thinking about how thin the setting is or noticing the holes in the world building.
And cut when other companies are cutting. My company did fairly small layoffs about a year before everyone else started. I imagine the hire ups wish they had waited to do deeper cuts when everyone else was cutting.
I've been thinking a lot about Meta's investment in the metaverse, and while I'm intrigued by the possibilities, I can't help but see some potential problems.

The biggest issue I see is the need for an expensive VR headset to fully experience the metaverse. While many people are willing to invest in a new phone every few years, I'm not sure that the metaverse holds the same appeal.

Even though phones started out as a mediocre experience, the iPhone form factor made them indispensable. I don't see how the metaverse will follow a similar trajectory, especially since it requires such a significant investment.

In hindsight, I wonder if Meta should have focused more on their AI learning, as I imagine they're using AI heavily to moderate the world's chatter. While it's not the kind of AI that's getting all the buzz right now, I think it has huge potential, and could be the valuable asset for Meta going forward.
A lot of people believe they know the optimal time to reach out. But with my manager hat on, it's also true that a lot of people wait well beyond what's optimal for the organization. Things that can get in the way include pride, anxiety, laziness, a tendency to procrastinate, underestimating the resources available, and overestimating the cost of interruption, and underestimating the cost of delay. Maybe you are the rare sort of person who is perfectly calibrated. But if so, know that it's rare.
Almost certainly the play is going to be to invest more in instagram to steal features from other social media apps. Thats Meta’s strategy. The Metaverse is not gonna work.

Even if they wanted to try, the $50bn of cash and short term investments Apple has on hand is about 1/9 of TSMC’s market cap. Even with their $100bn or so of longer term investments they’re still only up to a third of its value.
I used to do the same. One thing I learned- you can fight spam (and quite successfully!). But you cannot fight awfully formatted marketing emails that you or your clients require. Lots of times, these scored multiple times more than actual spam :(
> Not in the standard black hole model with a singularity at the center, no. In the standard black hole model, the collapsing matter that formed the hole hits the singularity and is destroyed. The interior of the hole is vacuum, just like the exterior.

If the interior of a black hole becomes a vaccume, what continues to assert the intense gravitational pull that the now destroyed matter once created?
I'm in healthcare IT, there are incredibly strict regulations about what we can and can't do with your PHI. Amazon isn't big enough to fuck with the OIG.
It’s the threaded conversations that sales people have with themselves, marked as important by gmail, that drives me mad.

“Hi Mark, Just wanted to close the loop today and see if it made sense for us to connect.”

“Hi Mark, I hope you are having a successful week. Did you manage to check on below email?”

“Checking in, Mark - do you have 15 minutes next week to discuss your goals?”

All unsolicited spam and all marked important by gmail. I just ignore most email these days. Seriously. People who know me know how to find me on closed loop systems like WhatsApp, Slack, etc. Gmail sucks.
There’s no need to carry both keys. Leave one in a secure location. Carry the other.

Would you care to elaborate on that statement?
This is not a global issue with Linux. My Librem 15 has 100% reliable sleep. Devices designed for Linux work flawlessly. Devices with closed specifications and not providing any drivers don't work reliably, unsurprisingly.
I once ignored an email that was pretty obviously spam. It claimed to be from my bank, but had email links to another domain and not my bank, and a header looked like it was scanned from a piece of paper, badly, and was the only logo on the page.

Turned out to be completely legit. They really were trying to contact me to tell me they didn't get my proof of insurance.

When I told them my concerns, they didn't understand.
If there is no meme about forbidden memes than this has to be legal. Yellow Smile the first meme was not patented because its creator did not considered how popular it becomes. I think every super popular meme has its similar story.
I think the Metaverse will fail, but I think Meta can maintain a product in VR and a VR marketplace. Like the game console model that has proven succesful previously.

A metaverse like community platform will probably gain major popularity one day, when headsets are seamlessly blended into a casual consumer product that people feel cool wearing in a room of people. Until then, social VR platforms are niche because the target market is niche too. The network effect is diminished as well because the barrier for entry is so high.

I really think the problem for mass adoption is coolness and seamlessless. By seamless I mean, not removing you from present company and not requiring more than a simple pair of fashionable goggles or glasses.
Working parents send their kids to daycare out of necessity, it’s not a matter of being popular. Two working parents is also a necessity for many economically. Not everybody has the income and thus the convenience of having a stay at home parent.

In your words, this is a failure of the parent, but I disagree.
Ask HN: Why don't gloves explain this idea for warming up your fingers quickly?
Sometimes wearing gloves is not enough for keeping your fingers warm.

So this winter I noticed that if I withdraw my fingers from the glove fingers and form a fist (with my fist still completely within the glove but with the glove fingers now empty), my fingers will warm up quickly.

Why don't gloves come with instructions that describe this simple trick for warming up your fingers?

Why, "conversely"? It sounds like you had a great experience, which I'm happy for. But I think there are plenty of good ways to work.
Let’s think critically for a moment.

Coffee is cheap to brew at home and it’s usually at the office. You can even take caffeine pills if you wanted to liken it to narcotic addiction. You sure as hell don’t need to go to Starbucks to get your fix, which is the most expensive way to get coffee, so that can’t be the reason people buy from them.
Lol.

Yes. The failure is treating child care like a market.
I used to be 100% sure that Youtube was the most dogfooded[1] website on earth. Now I have my doubts.

I mean, there's no way the developers haven't seem the deluge of spam.

The "can you recommend me a service to download movies for free" one was a thing for about two years. Now it's "you won join our Telegram", literally everywhere.

A remarkable feature of Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, are the red streaks that run across her surface. Its chemical composition is puzzling since it does not like any known material on Earth, despite scientists' suspicions that it is a frozen combination of water and salts.
If I run a soup kitchen, and Google is sending robots to my establishment which are indistinguishable from humans, I should I have the right to ask if the client is a robot.

I would hope that Google's robots would not be programmed to lie to me, but would be honest.

If robots are required to be honest, then I have a choice to serve them or not. If they are not honest, I do not have a choice.
And that's just disturbing to me - that a corporation can willingly and knowingly break the law, and the money they'll make from doing so is significantly larger than the fine they'll pay.

Why is that even remotely acceptable in a democratic society?
They have very specific baskets of goods and methodologies that they publish details on when changed. And it is done by an independent groups of government employees with lots of eyes, both public and private looking at every detail of what they do. I don't think they are simply cherry picking data.
There was no training process, this is just running GPT with relevant HN comments as part of the prompt.

If he wanted it to replicate that classic HN feel he would either have to extend the prompt with additional examples or, better yet, use finetuning.

I guess he could also just randomly sprinkle in some terms like 'stochastic parrot' and find a way to shoehorn Tesla FSD into every conversation about AI.
All those verbs are just constants that provide some behavior.

POST is the constant that means I'm going to probably send you a body and probably nobody is going to try to add caching, which is usually what you want from an RPC. You can just #define DO POST, and you're set.
Markets are not oriented to solve problems for social and societal needs, that is supposed to be the government for the people's concern. If we as a society want this solved, and the government of the people for the people does not, this represents a failure of the social contract to be governed.
No. The backups have their own secrets and no relationship to one another. You register them as distinct keys with each app.
There's no substance here. Something can be wrong and legal, something can be litigious and cordial. This feels like a hit piece trying to get ahead of the cases that will be shortly heard in AZ regarding the 2022 election.

There are a lot of people chasing ghosts with regards to election fraud, but it's pretty clear that signature verification for electronic voting isn't cutting it right now. That's not a political argument, it's a statistical one.

You don't just take a punt on a childcare provider like you might with temporary accommodation on AirBnB.

From personal experience and those of other parents I know, it's a heavily researched, quite intensive process involving multiple visits to different providers.

An AirBnB for long-term childcare seems like a non-starter, perhaps beyond initial discovery and shallow research.

---

Also, there are so many societal benefits to affordable child care for all. For example, more primary care givers returning to work, earning and therefore paying taxes etc.
I tried to use an Airtag to keep track of a the second group of people I was with at Disney World and it was beyond useless. For some reason they work well for my day to day life, and maybe it's because I'm checking for the location of something usually after it's been sitting still for hours. But at Disney it completely failed to find the Airtag unless I was standing literally next to it.
That is a really good point.

The 80/20 rule holds here: 80% of everything is crap. That applies to movies now, and it also applies to movies in the past.

There's also the very real thing of changing tastes. Movies are made to appeal to the taste of audiences in the time they're made. Modern tastes are different than the tastes of yesteryear.

I think it's not right to say that modern tastes are better or worse than older ones. They're just different -- but it makes sense that the ones aimed at different tastes will be a less popular.
Interesting! Did you all find that helpful and worth the time?
You're quibbling over semantics. here's the paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05434-1
once again, I agree with your sentiment - this culture of simulation and replication is extremely tiresome - but as a case in point, Disney doesn’t fit the bill

to illustrate, the realistic choice would be to choose between Snow White and Frozen and Moana.

to be clear, this isn’t me blindly supporting Disney: I don’t watch their films, I don’t work for them, I don’t own their stock. moreover, I in fact have swathes of scepticism for colossal nation-shaped megacorps; nevertheless it’s a bad example weakening a good hypothesis, and this I have a problem with

I have no idea how financially successful they are but the game Dawncaster is great and seems to be faring well.

$5 up front, $5 for each expansion (currently 2) which add a substantial amount of content each.

The devs are active, patching regularly, and planning another content update this year. They just released a free new mode to the game as well.

No ads, no microtransactions just a fun and complete game with lots of replay value - I hope they can sustain it over time
> Then after most devs switched to using M3 Macs, app performance will regress back to the baseline, making everything slow on M1/M2 machines, and basically unusable on Intel Macs.

This is one of those HN comments that has me feeling like I live in a different world than the commenter. What Electron apps are you using that are really that slow? I use several of the popular Electron and CEF apps on a daily basis and everything is fast.

The exceptions are anything that loads over a network. Spotify, Slack, and others can feel “slow” when the content is loading from a backend over the internet, but obviously that’s not the fault of the UI
Respectfully disagreed.

I've driven thousands of miles and hundreds or thousands of hours. In high school it was a requirement for living. But there's a big difference between being proficient and enjoying something. I got well past the "learning discomfort" and I still loathed driving. I choose to avoid driving every chance I can, even when it's cold, or rainy, or windy, or it'll take a long time to walk. Because I enjoy being outside and enjoying the world a lot more than being cooped up in a giant expensive metal box.

Some people just prefer walking, biking, and public transit over driving. You almost sound like you're describing Stockholm Syndrome, learning to "enjoy" a task that is stressful and unpleasant that you're forced to do every day.

I can't think of any activity I'm required to participate in by society that annoys me as much as driving everywhere.
Simple explicit filters like that always snag up tons of random innocent users too. The important and hard problem of content moderation is you need to understand the context of the comment/post and that includes cultural context which means it's an even more difficult problem than simply comprehending the language which is a near hard AI problem on it's own.
> Reforming copyright length is more straightforward than trying to come up with some roundabout way to incentivize it.

It would seem like that naively, but we've seen that even stopping the copyright term from continually lengthening has been impossible. Making surface changes to copyright (that could easily be rolled back) will take as much or more effort than rebasing copyright on a clearer, more logical foundation that takes public benefit as a baseline. With a logical restructuring would come new arguments and slogans that might build up enough inertia to get it done.

Simply cutting back copyright length is hard to argue for, because the number you would be arguing to cut it back to is just as arbitrary as the number that the media industry would like to extend it to. Hell, I think that life of the author plus 70 years was chosen because it's biblical sounding: a biblical life is 70 years, so life plus 70 is a way of saying "children" without saying "children." For that reason, I don't think "one decade is plenty" is going to be an effective argument against life plus 70; the only thing a decade has going for it is that it's a round number and people are superstitiously attracted to round numbers.
You know he's talking about the invention and proliferation of photography, right? AKA two hundred years ago.

I understand, from a project management perspective, the need for a concerted, coordinated push to penalize widespread discrimination against a particular category of people. But I do not understand, from a legal perspective, why some groups are protected from discrimination while others are not.
So then if the default choice is 1), which has been the case proven by the actions exercised so far, what's the point a decentralization scheme?
It will be ~7% layoffs every quarter at every public company until the stock is attractive to investors again. Lowering interest rates will also help a lot but that doesn’t look likely with the last inflation report.
I feel like most of the arguments against modern cinema can be boiled down to "I don't like the new superhero movies". There's worlds of modern entertainment out there that's not created by Marvel or staring the Rock.
I was too cheap to buy airtags so I bought a cheap knockoff, the Nutale Findthing. The family sharing actually works very well. They were crazy cheap and have replaceable batteries even. Crazy that a cheap amazon knockoff would have a better experience than Apple.
If you just remove the listing, accounts who already own the game can still download the last published apk at any time - it can be found in "my apps". Even in case of free apps.
In theory company can cripple the old version deliberately, but that would likely be against play store rules
Yeah but this is a much better description of when I was learning C++ in high school and trying to figure out why I got a seg fault. The rust compiler is much friendlier than just the text "segmentation fault".
...but then, once I get my answer on discord, I like to ask and answer your question on SO so that it's searchable.

I think a few things combined to torpedo it. Firstly we were hit with the dotcom crash. Secondly Sun’s future rapidly looked less bright, and they were the main server partner in the gang. Thirdly there wasn’t (yet) the “Datacenter OS/Orchestration” layer. It didn’t exist and was the part that would allow us (I think worlds largest ISP and shared/dedicated hosting provider at the time) to carve up the data center on-demand. Remember this is ‘99 so there was no VMware server for another ~2 years. Finally, x86 rack servers got “good enough” and that low cost Pee-Cee architecture took over (with more than a little help from Linux). Yes it was hard to orchestrate. Yes it lead to sprawl (before even VM sprawl) but the market didn’t care.

No. We contracted Kyle to help us build a hiring challenge, and he and Ben overdelivered dramatically, so we turned it into a public thing. They're just programming challenges.

But what if you have roommates? Like, what if I live in a 3 bedroom apt. I don't want to have a family plan with my roommates just so I don't get a stalking notification about my friends backpack being left in his bedroom. There are lot's of situations where non-traditional household arrangements make the 24 hour notice will be a real pain. You should be able to add other iCloud accounts to ignore specific tags, or something like that.

The “debunking” is just that Mark Zuckerberg never claimed that the layoffs would stop
From that perspective Meta is already dead. The metaverse is an utterly dead on arrival concept.

There's no plausible VR technology that can make it practical in the pipeline at all: it's an idea in the realm of "implanted cyberdecks are cheap and accessible" before it becomes the sort of thing anyone would need.
Yes! I've noticed it's 10x worse for my professional email address than my personal one; nearly all of the spam that gets through Gmail's filters is (horribly targeted) B2B marketing. Is that what others are seeing too?

I can get about 8000 calories of rice for $5 retail at a grocery store. Granted it costs money to cook it, and you'd want to mix in other ingredients for taste and nutrition. But 800 calories for 3 euros should be doable.

For fast food, the Cheesy Bean and Rice burrito is still on the dollar menu at Taco Bell. 420 calories for $1, and a fairly complete lacto-vegetarian protein source. Buy one of those and a Fiesta Veggie Burrito ($2 for 570 calories) and you've got some vegetables too at almost $1000 calories. Make either of them Fresco and you replace the dairy with diced tomatoes, losing about 110 calories for the CBRB, and 145 calories for the FVB. Fresco only one and you still have greater than 800 calories. Maybe this isn't possible in Europe?
