You don't "have to be using" anything.

That said, there are a lot of great applications of AR, and surely more to come as people began to see it in use more broadly.

One idea that struck me as a great use case was something my son came up with while we were watching something on TV with subtitles on. The subtitles were being rendered in such a way that they blocked the faces of the actors in the scene, making them pretty annoying.

His idea: if we had AR glasses, not only could we render the subtitles off screen through the AR glasses, but those in the room who couldn't stand having subtitles on in the first place could just watch without AR glasses.

There are lots of tiny little ideas like this that start to make the idea of AR pretty interesting. Whether those ideas work well in reality, I don't know. What I do know is that once it starts becoming more widely used, the potential of the tech will likely become even more obvious as people develop novel ideas that hadn't yet been considered.
I've seen this sort of telegram bot attack on dozens of channels. It's not targeting him so much as its across all of youtube for channels with enough subscribers. Youtube is completely failing to keep the bots out of the comments.
Show HN: FeelBetterBot – Your personal therapy chatbot, powered by AI
Creating a system to work with one entity, especially a bank, is far easier than creating one to work with 10s of thousands of individuals, not to mention that you can do this work all abstracted behind the bank without any existing systems (payroll) having to consider anything.
Are you sure this isn't some po-faced intentional self-parody? Sure sounds like it to me.
Super interesting product! I've been chewing on this idea and market for a while (as a potential customer, primarily) but with a slight twist. Conventional heat pumps tend to fall back to resistive heating as things get colder; where I'm at in Canada, we routinely hit -40C/F in the winter and unfortunately this means that the efficiency is the worst when we need it the most. Your approach with the improved condenser is great but... any thoughts on how it would handle -40F?
It's not punishment. You know that when you put your money in a bank there's a change you won't get it back. That's why you're supposed to pick a bank you're okay with.

That's how it is with everything. If a farmer plants some crops but it drops in price to the point it's completely unprofitable, is he being punished for growing food? Does the government bail him out?
FeelBetterBot is a therapy chatbot using the ChatGPT API. It’s designed to help you talk through any issues you might be having and will suggest techniques from modern evidence-based therapy modalities if appropriate.

I had the idea because I’m a bit of a psychology nerd and, while I haven’t done a ton of therapy myself, I’ve got a lot of out reading people like Albert Ellis and Carl Rogers and using some of the techniques from modalities like CBT. I’ve also seen lots of people close to me struggling with mental health and finding and keeping a therapist seems to be a big part of that. Therapy can be great, but it seems to be hard to find someone you really connect with and limiting your interactions to a single, specific hour each week can leave you unsupported when you most need it. So the idea of a confidential and anonymous therapy-like chatbot, available any time you need it, seemed like it might have some value.

I’m just now diving into the world of therapy chatbots, but it doesn’t seem like there’s anything similar that’s as open and accessible as this. The closest I can think of is 7Cups, that’s that’s real people not AI. (Am a huge fan of 7Cups, though, and have been a listener there for years.)

Technically, it’s just a very thin wrapper on the ChatGPT API. Other than the interface, all I really supply is the prompt. The app itself runs entirely on Cloudflare Pages and the frontend is just Alpine.js and Simple.css. I’m a Rails guy, but Cloudflare Pages and Cloudflare Workers have become by go-to for rapid prototyping like this because it’s such so quick and easy.

Hope some of it you find it useful, and I’d love to know what y’all think!
No product is ever ready. The iPhone didn't have copy/paste for a while, after all.

Feed it to the public and see what happens.
What makes you so confident that is the case? I listen to lots of classical music and certainly hear musicians breathing, even on older recordings. I would imagine fingernails on a keyboard are of a similar decibel level.
I have a 12th Gen.

It's the best laptop I've owned.

(I've had a Samsung ATIV book 9, and before that a high-end Sony Vaio, both 13 inch).

One thing I must mention in particular : the keyboard is die for.

I had no idea a laptop keyboard could be like this.

I used my Samsung keyboard for many years, perfectly happily - but now I can't use it. It is now so unbelievably flat and lifeless. I am now forever spoiled for lesser keyboards.

I worked on power management, not much work was needed, and I get 11 hours battery life on a 90% charge.

(Basically, use powertop to figure out what processes were using a lot of power (turned out to be Tor and WINE), and then also realise anything plugged into the USB ports took a lot of power, and finally that the powertop power optimization needed to be re-run after a reboot. That got me down to under four watts, but it means no mouse - mouse adds about three watts, which is too much.)

I'm very happy also that reduced battery charge levels (I keep mine at 50% these days, now the power cuts are a thing of the past) are available in the BIOS, and also full battery disconnect (I'd like it even more if I could change battery charge level in software - but the key issue is the functionality is present).

I love the exchangable ports - currently I have 2 USB-C and 2 USB-A, which will in time change to 4 USB-C. I also have an ethernet port, should I need it, and HDMI.

The screen resolution is not 4K, which I had on my Samsung, and thought before I bought it could be a problem, but it simply isn't.

I also love the community. That it's a niche laptop with a highly computer literate community makes it really pleasant.

FYI, I'm running XFCE on Debian.

Yea, but we are starting to see upcoming issues with nurses in the US where some places just don't have enough. Granted, this is more because hospitals are trying to keep their number of nurses as low as possible. The hospital my wife works at, they suppress the number of nurses when they in fact need more and just hire travel nurses on demand. Then they complain that travel nurses cost too much. I don't think pay is the only factor here. Nurses get paid great by hospitals, but also still get treated like shit. My wife doesn't even get bathroom breaks during her 12 shift and most of the time no lunch break because there is never a nurse available to cover for a 30 minute lunch or a 5 minute bathroom break.
Numbers I heard involved a much steeper discount than that, but may well have been an account they saw as particularly important. If you can only get a 10% discount you're still paying massively above the odds.
There are still credit union failures but less compared to bank failures.

Credit Unions are owned by the members instead of shareholders and are non-profit but yea seems very similar to a regional bank. What else are different?

I do wonder though, why SVB became so large compared whereas a credit union like First Technology Credit Unit which manages 15 billion in assets. Wouldn't a credit union be a better fit since they are local at its core. And credit unions serve the financial needs of a specific group of people who share a common interest or affiliation (in this case Tech/VC firms in Silicon Valley).

There's also the 250k insurance but by NCUSIF instead of FDIC
Same in Sweden (or at least used to be) - horunge. If you have a widow on a new page that’s a dubbel horunge.
A few weeks ago I spent about a week debugging my Poetry environment. Turns out, their latest release (which I believe was a patch bump!) brought in some breaking changes. And on top of that, a bunch of stuff was forcing python3.11 under the hood, whereas I was on python3.10.

It was a nightmare.
> I don't know what your business is, but as a presales engineer in the ecommerce field, if our SLA was 99.5% we wouldn't even make it past the first round of vendor selection.

As you know, the SLA isn't the same as the downtime. It just means the threshhold where you'd start paying back some credits for missing the SLA (only to customers who notice and ask). Which is often cheaper than building the infrastructure to actually support the promised SLA.
No, audiophiles are absolutely real. Look at how many of them buy vinyl records of music that was produced digitally; any sampling artifacts that might hypothetically be audible would be replicated on the vinyl. As long as the master is digital there's no way a vinyl record could possibly sound better than a lossless digital recording like FLACC or CDDA.

And then there are people who buy vinyl records of video game sound-tracks, in which case it doesn't even make sense to remove sampling artifacts since those would be present in the original game.
Measurement is complicated. It's not one-and-done and can easily be done incorrectly or misinterpreted. GoldenSound recently did a video on this topic, showing how minor changes in settings for analysis tools and analysis hardware can cause radically different conclusions.

There are also many techniques in hardware that make a piece of audio equipment measure objectively better, but sound worse - like feedback.

Audio is really complicated and can't be boiled down to one or two comparison charts.

ASR is essentially worthless, unfortunately.
> I support open platforms but RSS had a super noise-to-signal UX and I personally don't miss it

The problem is that nothing arose that adequately replaces it.
I agree, which is why I would prioritize the other fixes as well. Still, these kinds of things (once broadly learned by the community) can have a significant impact.

Yes, it won't be 100%, but it would reduce the conversion rate of the scammers. That's ultimately the solution. No single measure will ever fix this, and if you wait to implement something until you will solve the entire problem space you'll never get started.

The solution is a hundred different changes that each reduce the scammers' conversion rate by 1-2%.
Can't seem to click "I Agree" and try it out. Anyone have a work around?

Edit: The answer was patience
Not loading for me. Sounds promising! Instruct tuning is key to make models useful.
The TRS-80 had 2x3 matrix block characters[0] in the character code range 128-191 that apparently were called squots (square dots). Combined with direct memory read/write, a decent CPU and fast basic made for some easy game dev of the snake and ski variety.

No, it's just called "capitalism". The thing you call cronyism is a core feature, not a bug: under capitalism, the capitalist class advances its own interests.

Please stop trying to redefine basic terminology to suit your agenda.
Why? Macintosh is a kind of apple. Apples are fruits. Quarantine is a public health protocol. Surely we need to make it "Operating system for Cupertino (California)-based 'Apple Computer Inc.' computers version 13 changes app privilege management scheme with new xattr". Way better.
$14,000 is competitive with quotes I've seen for heatpumps. I've been quoted up to €18,000 for a small retrofit.

I would have expected the cost of heatpumps to have fallen as adoption goes up, like solar, but instead the opposite seems to have happened and they're far more expensive now than five years ago.

Any insights into why this is?
I-9 requires you to check the immigration status for work authorization. The debate is whether you should be required to try to do it a way where that actually means anything. Democratic process in most states resists doing it in a way that actually does anything.

To note, I am for completely open borders but even I can tell you that states not using e-verify and just requiring an I-9 is almost hilariously comical attempt at checking immigration status, as there's little authentication against fake info let alone stolen identity.
> There’s no silver bullet like avatar/name similarity or other forms of detection because the scammer can trivially iterate until they avoid automated detection.

That's a cop-out, though.

It's true that they're not going to be able to stop every single scammer, but that doesn't mean they can't raise the barrier to entry enough that a significant percentage of scammers find that it's no longer worth it.

As for the specific measures the GP suggested—those are absolutely things Google has the resources to do. Image and text similarity are things they deal with all the time, and if they can make it effectively impossible (barring occasional random false negatives) for scammers who attempt to impersonate the author using these methods to get through without a human double-checking, that would be a huge blow to their ability to fool people. It's not like if you're clever enough you can, say, have an avatar that shows one thing to the bot-check systems and another thing to users.

The best risk management for a small business is a legal structure that makes it easy to avoid holding more than $250k in the business. Because lawsuits. Talk to your lawyer. Though of course a business can still be small and unable to avoid this.

The second best strategy is to disperse accounts. Talk to your accountant.

And talk to your banker.

Rolling your own solution based on internet advice probably isn't the worst approach, but it could be in the running.

Good luck.

Whilst I agree on it, this is partially true. shielded cables can create current flows between switches, have seen it previously, and had to fix it as it was inducing problems on the traffic over that cable
Apologies. Though my statement holds with s/Your/That/.

My original response was to a comment suggesting that overweight and obese people get home and eat 15 chocolate bars. My observation, supported by your additional evidence, is that a small imbalance has a substantial cumulative effect.
Ditto with Fedora. The 6.y kernel line fixes a lot of problems that aren't Framework-specific but generally Intel and Alder Lake issues. (A lot of those problems, configs, and tuning, even on Debian, aren't relevant on the 11th-gen Framework.)
Great question - this will be R454B (GWP 467) vs R410A (GWP 2000) and R32 (GWP 675). GWP is global warming potential, the relative emission factor of a substance relative to CO2.
Yeah, if you're accustomed to keeping windows open during the heating season, I think you're going to have a bad time unless you live with a mild climate. Sounds like you're probably on a boiler / radiator system; which probably means you're not in a very mild climate.

You could ask an HVAC company what it would take to be on a heat pump with the windows open, but it's probably going to cost a lot of electricity, and if you build the system for that, when you eventually do decide to close the windows, the system is going to be too big and you'll have comfort issues from that.

Do you have air conditioning? Do you leave the windows open during the cooling season?
Still happens. It's easier now than it was when I was younger. At 14 I had to get a work permit. Now I would not, the employer just has to report stats to the state.

Our restrictions are also graduated. There's even a sub-14 category, though it's pretty limited. Then there is 14-15, which has the usual restrictions (no hazardous jobs, limited hours per day, no conflicts with school schedule). And then 16-17, which has no limits on hours per day or school scheduling conflicts.
I remember a time when SQL was advertised as "write programs in plain English and fire all your programmers". It ended with the situation where you can't get a job for Oracle SQL if you only know Microsoft SQL. Are we already at a point where you can't get a job as AWS DevOps if you only worked with Azure before?

Also, I'm in the market for a new AC/heater - so have been looking.

Your specs are in kbtu, but at least for cooling I'm used to tons; I have 2x4.5ton units, and I think that's ~120kbtu, so I wouldn't be able to get just two of your biggest units?
I am not a lawyer, but the consensus (around here anyway) seems to be that weights cannot be copyrighted since they are the output of an automated process, so perhaps the license cannot limit how the weights are used. The code can be copyrighted, but the code can also be reimplemented from scratch and used to load the weights.

In general, the interesting properties of real ropes are not well-modeled by simulation. Dirt, abrasion, water, stress concentrations, and other real factors will dramatically impact the results you get out in the real world. That's why these things are experimentally verified and ropes used in safety-critical applications (are supposed to) have huge safety margins, regular monitoring, and ideally regular replacement. Use the manufacturer numbers for real ropes.

But if you just want to simulate ropes, there's a few models out there from academics going "let's try and model this difficult system more accurately". Take a look at stuff like imc-der [0] and ridgerunner [1].

I just began writing Python a few months ago. For years prior, I'd been a JS dev, and while NPM can be frustrating at times, I never encountered so many issues as I have in Python. It's crazy.

I'm now curious whether there are languages out there that do have a really nice packaging system.

CRT whine is at a much lower frequency, though. It's within (average, young) human hearing range.

I once debugged a switchmode power supply this way. I was in my late 20's-early 30's and walked into a room where an engineer in his 50's was testing a power supply. First thing I said, was "what's that annoying noise? Oh, it's coming from your test bench." He blinked at me, but immediately realized that I could hear a high frequency noise he couldn't and that it was related to the problem he was troubleshooting.

IIRC, the problem was that his oscillator was running at a lower than expected frequency: it should have been well outside hearing range but was actually just barely within mine.
How do SSDs compare for storing lossy media? And how does temperature factor in?

Out of a gut feeling I've been taking out my music SSD and storing it in the freezer when I'm gone for the weekend, or on holidays etc, as to retard the lossy decay process. But I've never actually measured, maybe you can throw in some expertise here?
Ah I mean if you really want to get into farming, farmers get paid by the US government and your taxes to not grow things.
> which they absolutely didn't have to do

Strictly speaking, Apple doesn't have to do anything. They're judged against the quality of their prior products though, and prior Macs have worked well with an unlocked bootloader. If Apple threw that feature away (like the headphone jack or 32-bit software), then it would have been noteworthy, but it's not. You're ascribing goodwill to something as simple as a non-removed feature.

Whatever the case is with Macs, regulators at-large don't seem to agree with Apple's product segmentation. If they want to distinguish iPhones from Macs, they'll have to find a way that doesn't undermine user authority.
They probably did but didn't release them for the public.
I think this point would be highly personal, and also dependent on usage. For example, if I were a streaming site, I wouldn't go for FLAC as that would eat a lot of bandwidth, and there are already successful streaming sites with as low as 96kbps AAC audio (Mixcloud).

What I really liked is when claims are backed up with ABX tests. What these determined regarding codec settings is really useful I think, and I also liked that they determined "transparent" encoding settings this way. Very useful when looking to encode your library yourself.

It's certainly an improvement, but in the end it ends up like the "type in your password to continue installation".

If an app is not notarized, you can right click and open it.

Do either of these enough, and it becomes automatic. Back in the day, on Windows, pretty much everything out of the box had to be installed "as admin". Even the most mundane apps required admin. Folks just routinely simply logged in as "admin", giving every random app privilege, make the limitation effectively pointless.

Many apps on the Mac require an admin to install them. It's not universal, like it seemed to be on Windows, but many apps require admin. It's not a leap to blindly right click on a new downloaded installer, and type in your password to install it. Or "<App> wants to access removable media" "OK!"

We're conditioned to just click through these warnings because, honestly, we just want the software, and we just want it to work. We don't want to interview everything as a hostile party.
Feels like we are laughing at mental illness here.

If you don't think that the explanation for those investments into higher-risk higher-yield longer-term treasury bonds instead of, for example, lower-risk lower-yield shorter-term treasury bonds is that the yield was higher, what could it be?

Speculation that interest rates would go down and longer duration bonds would appreciate more?

I agree with you, but stuck with wezterm for some time now for it's non-GPU related features. Specifically the font configuration with fallbacks and configurable font features such as ligatures and glyph variations is nice. I use a tiling window manager and a terminal multiplexer, so I have no use for terminal tabs/splits/panes. I wish there was something as "simple" as alacritty, but with nicer font rendering.

It's probably because the state is managed in the server rather than the client, so you will always be beholden to network latency at some level.
