Oh well I guess I should plan on stopping the usage of smartphones in a few years and start calling my congressman and lobbying to have laws that allow me to function in society without a smartphone.

I hated eSIMs but at least I could solder them off like bluetooth,gps or even wifi sometimes for some devices like the kindle paper (I just upload books to it with USB).

I know there is market demand for laptops with hardware key switches and that are pro-privacy but how big or competitive is it?

I want to make disconnected versions of products. From TVs to appliances, home automation, camera systems and smart phones (of course not on my own lol). I call this vision of products "smarter technology", because my goal is not to reduce functionality or features but to engineer products in a smarter way that does not require internet connectivity (but in some cases a hardware switch can enable network/radio connectivity. I am desparately searching for products like this these days.

An IP camera that is effectively PoE powered but acts like a webcam for your desktop when you set it up that way or with a mini-dvr that will stream it locally via wifi/ethernet or optionally through a paid cloud subscription (profit $$$). I want that.

A car with a hardware button to turn off connectivity features but also has all the cool modern car features that don't need network connectivity and a fully manual driving mode with optionally replacable batteries (replace them in seconds instead of wait in a queue and charge after an hour)

A TV where you can remove the builtin computer and it can still display hdmi,displayport,etc... and you can reprogram it as you wish.

A phone that can only make calls and stream display input via BLE or other radio from an optional computer that it can physically get attached to, but you can also take this optional computer with you and connect it to a wireless dock to use it as a desktop or laptop or to interface/manage your home automation and security.

I would prefer to donate to someone else to get them to do all this but if the market is strong enough, I don't mind making a lot of money doing it myself either.
Users, even the garden variety, at best tolerate changes in UI and at worst contemplate leaving. Every Facebook change is accompanied by users bitching. Reddit is full of people refusing the redesign. Nobody has ever liked a youtube change. Literally no product ever benefits from doing this. Now look at craigslist with its 90s brutalist webdesign. Straight to business, no bullshit. Nobody ever bitches about the design of craigslist, and if they changed the design nobody would be happy about it. Anyone who suggests a UI overhaul almost certainly doesn't understand the product or the customers.
That's why I think too. We have secure enclave and all that for anything cryptographically secure and isolated. Just interface with that for the keystore/signing and have everything in software.

A possible attack vector? Perhaps if something's not coded correctly... which can easily be fixed with software update.

I'm sure there's more into this of course, but that should be the general motivation.

This would be great until someone sends you something "important" via a built-in game or something that Pidgin can't display and then everyone will get confused when you didn't get the memo. I gave up on running a plain text email client years ago and that's supposed to be an open standard.

Like jerpint said, there's lots of limitations here still since this only addresses the high level decision making part, not the low-level control (sending signals to motors). Not tackling low-level control means the robot is reliant on human-engineered primitives such as 'place' or 'push', which can do a lot but is not fully generic (there are tasks that require dexterous control, tight visuomotor control loops, etc.). In other words, this kind of system is not even close to being general enough to drive a car.

Also, this has the typical limitations of LLMs - no (long term) memory, inherently limited context window size, no online learning via eg trial and error, no 'agency' in general (it can only do things when it is told to, there is no sense of exploring the world and learning about it). To really become AGI these sorts of systems would really need to be able to adapt to lots of niche tasks that they don't apriori know how to do, and there's not a great solution for that right now (prompting can sort of work, but again memory/context window size is still an issue).
Not just old but early adapter I believe, because when cell phones became really mainstream it was already the mini-sim format!

It is exactly Mark’s plan. He called 2023 “the year of efficiency”, meaning that he wants to flatten the whole organization and get closer to startup velocity (and cost). He communicated this theme during performance reviews, as suggested by the article.

Because it's in software, they can legally disable your phone and force you to buy a new phone every 3 year citing "security patches no longer being issued".

Ebooks are a joke to this day as a result. Complex layout, formulas, navigation, ... the bar is set low at being a poor imitation of a paper book.

Movies and TV have turned into subscription fatigue and content so bland they are now turning video games into tv as opposed to the other way around.

But you will have no incentive to learn a model to interpret world, because there will be a ML-based model that computes that for you, much faster with less effort from your side. Some people already doing that with ChatGPT & co. And more will come, because it only exploits our worst evolutionary enemies agains ourselfs. Learning IS hard, let alone critical thinking. Let just ask GPT-3. And then again. And again. More is better, right?

> In theory, with an eSIM it's even easier to swap in your old SIM because you don't have to deal with the physical SIM card. Especially so if you don't have the physical SIM because it's lost or whatever. In my experience it's super frustrating to have to wait for a new SIM to arrive in the mail because you lost it or the old one is faulty!

In practice however, they can be a customer hating disaster. Some telcos here even charge like 30EUR to generate a new eSIM code when you swap out phones, others need physical visit of their office for the same actions and third throttle the amount of swaps you can make.

All issues that can be severe from normal users (think of a simple case of dropping a phone and breaking it - how much money and time do you need to spend to make a temporary loaner work?)

It's yet another venue how telcos use enshittening to lock in users.
Sorry about that, it is indeed a bias I have
Registrars and PKI CAs should be the same orgs (can't do only one) and each domain registration should come with a certificate. How is this not a thing? Only a valid CA for a valid TLD registrar should issue certs for a domain name, not arbitrary CAs. So much could have been avoided with this.

If you're gonna tie your identity to it. PKI is very important. EV pki cert gives me more confidence in the authenticity of your account.

How many people do you think I can fool with trump-white-house.trust (or many other cheaper/easier TLDs)?
No offense to Florida but the state attracts a lot of grifters and opportunists. I see this as another one.
Dragon Naturally Speaking required extensive training on the voice of the user, and the result wasn't as accurate as modern machine-learning speech-to-text models. You had to watch it and actively correct it's results.

IMO, the accuracy of modern speech-to-text models is still nowhere near accurate enough. Maybe they should bring back the per-user training
Because corporations have giant amounts of resources under their control, and are able to spend hundreds of millions to create something large like Disneyland. I don't know about you, but the resources I have access to don't have anywhere near that level of money.

That only makes sense when people expect employees to stick around though, in today's market you would expect the vast majority of people to not finish the 5 year program yet alone show any benefits from it.
That is what "Liberal arts education" was before academia become coopted by Marxism. Process information fast, iterate, throw away old models. And it is not about "faking being an expert on field" but finding true experts, and being able to use their skills.

Of course they can, all they need to do is pass certification.
Flowminder | Southampton, UK | Full time/part time | Remote (UK) | Full stack software engineer (frontend bias) | python/react

I'm looking for someone to join my small but wily team of engineers and help me build a new, open source (https://github.com/Flowminder/flowkit-ui and https://github.com/Flowminder/flowkit-ui-backend), data platform for the humanitarian and development sector. (There's lots of other interesting and impactful things to get your teeth into as well, but the role is primarily for this project to start with).

We use things like:

React, Linux, Mapbox, Deck.gl, Python, FastAPI, Docker, make, PostgreSQL/MySQL, Terraform, CircleCI, Github, GCP, OpenAPI, Auth0

I think that's the correct answer when someone gives you a thought experiment with the intent to use the results against you on social media later.
Why is this a positive story? Downsides:

-it is more cumbersome to replace phones, as you have to move identities from phone to phone and get approvals by carriers and device makers instead of just replacing the physical SIM

-you can't just hand over your phone to someone else, you have to unroll yourself and enroll the other person

-you don't have anonymity and privacy since is no longer possible to use a prepaid physical SIM

And what are the advantages? Cost savings of maybe $1 for a pohone that costs over $1000?
> It’s a little unsettling to think about how much information and knowledge is being locked up in walled-garden servers

Not just on Discord, in general, everywhere: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit and even here HackerNews.

It's not just about being searchable or long-lived, but that they can pull the rug anytime (or make stealth edits like the Reddit fiasco with their admin Spez)

How to solve this? Should the burden of searchability and archival be a requirement upon companies that provide social media services? Third-party bots already manually crawl all services and provide external search/archive interfaces (like the "Reddit Undelete" services) How to make that better?
It's also a very convenient backstop. If I can't find it on netflix or prime then without high seas I'd likely simply not watch whatever I was looking for.

Three Year Cruise for Remote Workers
I'd suggest seeking out industries where IT hasn't really "happened" yet.

I work at Deloitte. Every time I chat with my counterparts in Tax, Audit, Wealth, ... I come up with ideas that may or may not be worth pursuing further. After that, it's just a matter of seeking out vicious rejection of all the bad ideas, till you land on one where the best objection is "well, we just don't do things that way around here".

There's also just being the guy in the right place at the right time, and being open to learning new stuff. I ran into a guy ~20 years ago who'd found a niche in building software emulators for ATMs. He didn't have a coding background, but after asking lots of questions of his buddies who worked in banking and taking a few night classes on Visual Basic coding he'd built a multi-million dollar business on his own to fill a gap that almost nobody knew existed. Thousands of better coders working in banking could've done what he did, but none thought to even look at the opportunity that was staring them in the face

I'm the condescending one and yet you quote yourself talking down to these people as if they aren't choosing them because they're better than all the other options all things considered? Come on. Have some self awareness.

>There's something very HN about trying to reduce such a massively complex issue to "jUsT giVe thEm tRaShCanS" though

And "clearly these people are misinformed of the long tail risks, let's solve that by subsidizing nicer stuff that has a different risk profile" isn't?

This isn't a massively complex issue. People use the product and they like the product. It's their life. Butt out.
In the US, each area usually has Costco/Walmart/Target, Best Buy/Apple, Home Depot/Lowes, Staples/OfficeDepot, Kroger/Albertsons/regional grocer, Nordstrom/Macys/Kohls/Old Navy/Gap.
With eSIM when I buy a new phone I just open my provider’s app on my old phone and request a new SIM, then scan a QR code on the new phone and bam my new phone is setup using the same phone number.

You can have multiple eSIMs on the device and activate them when you need… for example travel SIM, or a SIM for your home country, etc. It’s way more convenient than physical SIM cards.
>Your domain expires and life goes on.

Replace 'domain' with 'identity' and you have a very scary proposition. This is just another form of 'code is law' and doomed for all the same reasons. Bugs and exploits become severe threats to your wealth and well being. As much as we hate to depend on institutions and 'other people', depending on computers program is inherently worse.
He's not using the Arduino Uno for anything useful, its just a test jig to check the cable works. He says at the start of the article that he needs a USB-UART converter to work with another project.

I'm assuming that project doesn't have its own USB-UART like an Uno.

As I understand, the SIM is designed by special trusted companies, with special security requirements. It's easier to meet those requirements when the SIM is a separate chip that the company making them have full control over.

When you integrate it in the SoC, some of those requirements (tamper protection) will apply to the whole SoC, and you have to integrate the SIM module on the SoC without the company designing it, or the company manufacturing it, having the ability to compromise its security.

I'm guessing it has just taken time hash out the procedure for integrating the iSIM.
I don't think there is anything Marxist about the current "Liberal Arts Education"... As well as, at least in my observation a lot of people I know who graduated from philosophy, and arts are good critical thinkers. I am not sure this is a fair statement.
It is the basis of US-Taiwan relations as a starter.
Of course, unless open competition leads to sacrificing safety research which leads to the end of the world.

Then commoners are also very much worse off.
I had a very different experience searching for the same information. It gave me the answer all three times, the first two were on "balanced" and the third was on "precise". Initially I asked it with some context, the same words I would use to do the search myself. It seems pointless to search something I wouldn't do myself. I refreshed and tried your exact query and got a more detailed answer, refreshed and tried again and got the correct complete answer using "precise". The third time included the same links as the second time, I just didn't include them in the picture.

If you prompt it with a better query, you'll get a better response.

The second search it went into much more detail, although I refreshed, it seems like searching the same thing again forces a regenerated longer response.

I think that would have to be a longterm study where the test subjects don't just avoid wheat with it sprayed nearby but also other products affected by it.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the claim is that the residual glyphosate or the like can affect certain gut bacteria (and overgrowth of certain others) which leads to the symptoms as those bacteria might be helpfull in breaking down gluten.
So a person affected this who suddenly eats organic wheat would still exhibit the same symptoms.

I don't think there's been proper proof or studies for this but the idea doesn't seem to be too far fetched since it comes from studies on fish and the like where similar things were seen.
JointJS is quite great for that: https://www.jointjs.com, even with the community version https://www.jointjs.com/comparison => we have built some node ui with it and it has been fast, flexible and extensible; maybe not easy to start with, but it was worth it
>there aren't multiple deities to worship and there is no caste system.

There are multiple deities [0] and Buddha didn't oppose caste system. He advocated it on deed and not birth which is not very diffrent from Hindu views of caste. Could you point to some instance from ancient Indians history when discrimination was made on the basis of caste, color, or gender?

The Buddha:– "Not by birth is one an outcast; not by birth is one a brahman. By deeds one becomes an outcast, by deeds one becomes a brahman." (Vasala Sutta 27 )

Mahabharata says the same thing.

Listen about caste, Yaksha dear, not study, not learning is the cause of being "twice-born". Conduct alone is the basis, there is no doubt about it. (M.Bh. Aranya-parva 312. 106.)

Birth based caste is an acquired taste from the Muslim invaders who had and still have a system of discrimination in the form of Islamic doctrine of Kafaat (Al-Hidaya, Book VI, Chapter 55.1). This system is still in practice across middle East[1].

How else could they say that ICE maintenance is more expensive than BEV, if they won't start rambling about nonsensical replacements?

Like who really changes their transmission? You are changing clutch discs, if you don't know how to use clutch, but those does not cost XY thousand of dollars.

Who replaces their engine after XY miles? If there is a problem with an engine, then you will fix the problem, i.e. replace filters or injectors. Replacement happens only if it has a catastrophic failure, like block split in half or a piston telling your bonnet "hello".
I like the point about tailoring output via expert/ELI5 - that hadn't occurred to me and does seem consequential. Excellent.

I'm far more pessimistic on rest though. Excel and calculators definitely didn't improve my mental math.

I also think there is a real risk of cognitive overload. See the whole attention being shot to bits thanks to internet trend - something along those lines but AI flavoured.
