I'm seeing a lot of people discussing sales numbers; here is one article showing the decline in terms of both lens and interchangeable lens cameras shipped: https://bythom.com/newsviews/real-camera-economics.html.

Lenses appear to have declined by about 66% from 2012 to 2022. Cameras, by a little under 50%.

This decline makes sense to me. I have a Fuji XT4 which I like a lot, but, also, starting around the iPhone 13, phones got really good. Their automatic exposure in sunlight, for example, is often (not always) great. At the same time, the software quality in pretty much all cameras leaves much to be desired: I can go on a rant about the number of clicks necessary to wirelessly transfer from camera to phone but would rather not, and people have been ranting about that topic for at least a decade.
If you remember, there was the great "de-frag" at one point, where they wanted to reduce # of satellite offices, and tried to move everyone into a few big HQ, this resulted in overcrowding, and one aspect of that was "no remote work". (post-pandemic, this sounds bizarre now).

The closing of some of the satellite offices resulted in some of the first shocking "layoffs", for example, the Google Atlanta office was shuttered, most of the former couldn't move, and so left for other companies. (technically not a layoff, but if you can't relocate, it's basically the same) :(
To show off the power of fzf, I should share my fzr ("fzf repl") script:

https://github.com/kbd/setup/blob/master/HOME/bin/fzr

Basically, prefix any jq command (or rg, or anything you can think of) with fzr and it'll give you an interactive interpreter for your query. People have written a number of dedicated jq interactive repls, but not much is needed beyond fzf.
There has been a surge in the use of AI technologies in recent months. After looking at a few examples, I decided that we also needed to recognize AI's potential.
After speaking with our current customers, I envisioned the future application. We already have a tool for creating interactive online storyboards. As a result, we decided to improve this tool and develop Storyboard AI.

GNU Pth had "automagically turning blocking operations into non-blocking" ages ago, and it wasn't the first.

I think what you probably had in mind is that C libraries of the 90s that did M:N threading didn't turn blocking operations into non-blocking?

Using blocking operations to switch contexts is really nothing new. Heck, the cooperative multi-tasking systems of the 80s (Mac, Amiga) all essentially did that for processes (not threads), and so did Unix in the 70s.
It's not a code example. It's Typst code that is used to calculate the fibonacci numbers that are displayed in the table.
Most of these low-level APIs simply just wait for value types - they don’t want to hardcode something into the language, that might not be a perfect fit for those. Which makes sense, frankly.
They're absolutely not stupid, but I think you underestimate the ideology that lives heavily in the Taliban. They likely believe they delivered his family to a better life.

You are right about paramilitaries, but the governor's of districts in Afghanistan ran their own militaries that are not Geneva bound. That said, in this particular part of Helmand I don't remember seeing many ANA.
It lets others understand perspective a bit better.
Most don't. Some audio workflows require it, and if you're locked into a certain applications like... uh... Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Xcode?

Then you have articles like these:
https://techjourneyman.com/blog/great-macos-exclusive-apps/

> Despite having a version of it in Windows, there’s a good reason why people preferred using Photoshop / Illustrator on Macs. First and foremost, Photoshop was developed on the Macs first. Color is more accurate on the mac out of the box than on windows. macOS is more stable than Windows. These reasons make Macs the preferred platform for graphic illustrators around the world.

wut?

Color is more accurate on a Mac if you don't pay attention to the display you purchase with/attached to your device. Yes, Photoshop was first developed on the Mac... 33 years ago.

I get if you like macOS, but the marketing behind it has done a really good job to paint it as if it's the only option out there. It's insane.
could someone explain to me why might this be being downvoted?

Do you think ChatGPT should not be allowed to read books and join ideas across them without paying the original authors for their contribution to the thought?
> What is missing from the debates over monetary policy today is the understanding that the Fed was not established to control inflation.

Luckily we don't have to speculate, since this is spelled out in the US Code. 12 USC 225a reads:

> The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Open Market Committee shall maintain long run growth of the monetary and credit aggregates commensurate with the economy’s long run potential to increase production, so as to promote effectively the goals of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates.

Emphasis mine. Stable prices means mitigating inflation. The author is confusing the mechanisms of the Fed with their mandate.

How is this card (which is really two physical cards occupying 2 PCIe slots) exposed to the OS? Does it show up as a single /dev/gfx0 device, or is the unification a driver trick?
MWI doesn't allow you to predict what you will end up observing, so it is just as incomplete.
I hate to be this guy, but if user was not sufficiently satisfied, the user would not keep using it. I am saying this as a person, who does not like social media.
I use orthodox file managers heavily (mc, FAR, etc). Your approach was my norm for over 20 years. However, fzf is the first tool I've found that far exceeds the file managers in speed of navigation.
Isn't that essentially the instagram model? They didn't have any ads when FB bought them IIRC, and they didn't add them for quite a while.

- Toki Tori 2+: https://store.steampowered.com/app/201420/Toki_Tori_2/

Stumbled onto this while looking for simple platformers to play with my kid. This is a metroidvania of sorts. You play a bird who can only cheep and stomp. Player has to work out little puzzles in the environment using those abilities. This leads to more complex puzzles involving failure states and order of operation. Quick restart is available to reset at the beginning of the puzzle. Had a lot more fun with it than I expected. Nonviolent and doesn't require any reading if either of those matter. Demo available at that link.

- Baba Is You: https://store.steampowered.com/app/736260/Baba_Is_You/

This is an amazing logic puzzle game. Easy enough for a 6yo to start. Difficult enough that you'll both be working together on later puzzles. All around fun. Really good if you want to introduce simple logic without too many variables. Also has a quick reset. Also nonviolent but there is a small amount of reading.

- Old Mario games: Super Mario World/Mario 64

I didn't play these growing up. Thought they'd be good examples of older game design to introduce my kid too and it gave me an opportunity to play through them. Mario 64 in particular blew me away. The game is so well designed that most 3yo can play it. The levels are well constrained and the objectives are clear. Even if the player can't read text prompts. Offers a great amount of explorative problem solving and is just fun to goof around.

- Lego City Undercover: https://store.steampowered.com/app/578330/LEGO_City_Undercov...

Found this while searching for more age appropriate GTA-clones. Something you can run or drive around in and just have fun. This is exactly that and ended up being way more. There is a bit of cartoon fighting in it, but beyond that it is nonviolent. Some puzzles, some story, lots of secrets. All around great game for a kid to just run around in. And as with most lego games, it has full drop-in/drop-out co-op. We've now played through and 100% this game twice.

Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for taking the time to write this all up.

- Agreed it's meta and could be more clear if it were entirely for our own website, or entirely contained within the fictional website at the top. Will keep this in mind for our next pass of the website and demo.

- Yikes. Not great when our tool that helps with usability is confusing to use. In this case, to get credit for step 2, you need to tap on Activation which has a little blinking blue nudge. Sounds like it may be too subtle -- a full on tooltip may make that more clear.

They've been telegraphing this in the open for about 2 years. ChatGPT is an incremental development. Google wasn't surprised, they failed to act

wtf is vague about gpt 3 leading to gpt 3.5? chatgpt is absolutely incremental, and a testament to how incremental progress can unlock wider strides in impact
I'm not a postgres expert but I wouldn't be surprised if the people selling themselves as such were previously sql server or oracle experts. I've done both over the last 25 years and followed their certification path, but I'm not sure this particular expertise is a marketable these days, for many companies dbs are a commodity. I've moved more into cloud solution architecture now.
Exactly. This sentiment is the general problem with China. They expect the world to bend over backwards to accommodate them and their economic goals while allowing none of the same reciprocal treatment with other countries. They want all of the upsides of being a larger player on the global stage while accepting none of the downsides. You can't have it both ways.
> Typing lags horribly in Sublime Text

Fascinating. I use Sublime daily on my M2 MacBook Air and haven't encountered this.

With all these GUI apps crashing and monitor problem, I wonder if there was an issue with his specific Mini Pro, like with the GPU.
It's true that it's an awkward entry point, but it's not necessarily a bad one. It's the worst book of the series imo, so if I wanted someone to read the whole series I wouldn't start them there.

But it also covers events that are directly or indirectly significant to the plot or setting of... most... of the other books. So if you are going to read them all, you get more out of the rest for having read it first.
As an anecdote from an average-joe consumer - I don't think I've purchased something from a banner ad in my entire life, but in the past couple years I've bought mountaineering glasses, a bomber jacket, and a corduroy hat with a beaver on it after having seen the ads enough times between Instagram stories. Is it anything special I couldn't have gotten elsewhere? Of course not, but that's the trick of advertising, reminding you of products you'd forgotten even exist.

I think it will take a few years for the data to come through and for ad agencies to fully wise up, but I'm convinced that short-form video is THE fertile ground for advertisers at the moment. There's an entire generation of consumers who never watch broadcast TV, never buy magazines, and don't spend much time browsing the regular web. Short form video ads are in many way the ONLY way to reach them, and based off the amount of stuff I see my teenage cousins order, I think it's working as designed.
Say it is a new financial crisis. What can we do to actually make a profit from it like all the established players are doing?
Calling these "some bugs" is quite the downplay. Any machine with the issues mentioned (whether it's a mac mini or a puget sound monster pc) is an immediate return. And if you drank the mac koolaid, that would also be the moment you sober up and go "hold up, I know I've used multiple generations of mac mini but can I actually get better performance by spending less?".

As mentioned, unless you absolutely need OSX (which tends to not be true for the vast majority of users), the "why don't I just put a 4080 in a PC" route is a pretty reasonable path to go down once you realize that doing the work you need to do is more important than the machine you do it on.
OBS has had issues on my M1 Macbook, but not anything related to performance. It's mostly that the OS doesn't allow OBS to pick up desktop sound. There's an app that allows you to capture the desktop sound by routing all of the sound into it, but it requires you to disable some security features on macOS, which I'm not happy about. However, if using OBS was part of my job, then yeah I'd remove it 100%. But ultimately I just found it easier to go back to Windows to do gaming. It's amazing how far macOS has come... I just wish it was better for gaming. I can't wait for the day I never have to use Windows again, although it may never come.
Cliff, I truly love your enthusiasm and it’s inspiring.
I'm not sure banning semi-automatic weapons is an effective way to stop mass shootings. California has one of the most restrictive semi-automatic weapon bans in the country and it has one of the higher rates of mass shootings. That seems to be pretty good evidence that this policy is restricting people who care about the law from possessing these weapons and not the people actually committing the crimes.
Is there a larger example output pdf available, to be able to compare to latex?
How is it a clickbait? He bought an M2 Mac based on the advertising and reports from other users. He did some pretty in-depth research into if the machine will work for his workflow. He decided it didn't because of a lack of performance for the price.
"To me this seems extremely elitist."

Right, it probably is. But the issue of stolen personal data has been around for so long that nontechnical people have had years to develop political lobbying and to swing elections to put a stop to it.

The fact is that most people don't give a damn about such matters, if most did then the problems would be behind us by now.

Thus, unfortunately, with the internet it's every man and woman for him or herself. QED!
> Not sure what the author expected Google to do.

Don't get that either. The company is not my mother or my wife, it's just a professional relationship; they buy my hours to produce what they want me to. If they don't want my services anymore, of if I don't want to provide my services to them, it's fine, life goes on.

Now, there's this sad article, with a sad lady framed like she has just cried, like if it's the end of world. Yeah, Google was the best company once, Rome was the most powerful nation once, things change and get over it.

Sorry for the rant.
There are _largely_ no spoilers. I think Look to Windward might have very minor ones for Phlebas, but largely the novels are all set in the same universe, but more or less standalone.

fzf is fantastic. We use it to generate the entire interface of ZFSBootMenu - https://docs.zfsbootmenu.org/en/latest/_images/v2.1.0-multi-... . It's leagues ahead of any other fuzzy finder in terms of scripting and layout capabilities.
You get excited for one reason and one reason only - the money. FAANG jobs pay between double and triple of normal software gigs. Some folks want to optimize for interesting work, or groundbreaking products or autonomy. Thats cool - you might not find that at a FAANG. Some folks optimize for the biggest paycheck. For that its basically two options - FAANG (and adjacent) or High Frequency Trading. To each their own!
Countries that have low infrastructure costs, like Spain, do this.
1. CCP has control and data access to China companies. Ppl need to beware that's how CCP works. They insert party members into the companies and can take control of the companies at will. If you don't believe me, go look it up. Also ask Jack Ma how is his holiday

2. Many products are banned in china (google, twitter, facebook, whatsapp, github... etc). And CCP bans at will. Maybe a bit of retaliation is justified?
That is actually one of the youtubers I had in mind when I made my comment, thanks for linking to his video.
Honestly though, video walkthroughs are an improvement (navigation aside). It's hard to describe a situation entirely via text, and having that plus a short video showing the exact situation (e.g., finding a collectible in a weird location, strategy for defeating a boss, etc.) makes things so much clearer.

I've had instances where a walkthrough with pictures still wasn't enough and had to find a video showing me something and it only became clear after that.

I recall as a kid that the Zelda OOT water temple was nearly impossible to navigate with a gamefaqs guide. Video back then would have been so much easier.
I think, if I am reading it correctly, that was not a code example, that was actual code. count and nums are variables being defined, and fib is a function. Then the function is being called to build the table (you can see str(fib(n)) in the second to last line)
It is not a free market. TikTok has access to a billion extra users that the rest of the world does not have access to. That enables easier testing of features, lower margins, and more content.

A country should only allow foreign businesses in from countries that would allow that same business in from our country.

Pretending the CCP subsidized enterprise is a free market is just wrong.
If you read my original comment more closely you’ll see I have no trouble with the complexity of the reality of climate change, and what I am taking issue with is the annoying method of communication of predictions about that reality, communication that resembles nothing so much as systematized crying wolf. I’m not even asking for it to stop, or threatening to spitefully disbelieve in climate change because of it, I’m just asking for it to be served with a spoonful of kindness.

I don’t have anything productive or polite to say about you misinterpreting my comment as climate denial and then mocking me for having a simplistic mental model.
Do you have an example of how one can test that? Or be more specific? I don’t remember ever encountering any issue like that, but that might simply be because I didn’t know about that bug.
Can it really be that much worse than people who are working full time or more being unable to afford things like food and a roof?

I use autojump (very similar).

Now combine the two: autojump and fzf. Basically look at all the directories in the jump database and pass that to fzf (sorted by frequency). You'll be amazed at what an improvement that is. I've bound it to Alt-j on my shell. I use it a ton more than Alt-c.

The downvotes are not meant to convey disagreement (although they do too often in practice, sadly).

That aside, both OP and you should wait a bit before judging on that basis, since comment votes can swing wildly as more people notice the story and come to read the comments. In fact, it looks like OP has already been upvoted back.

Not often, and when that does happen a 'grep .histfile' seems more than adequate for finding these one off's.

Ask HN: Get a job or double down on my own business?
Currently my business (6+ years running) makes good money, but the economy is clearly impacting it. To the point where I wonder if it's best to get a full time job to do along side my business, or focus and double down the business as I have been.

Anyone else in this situation? Is now a terrible time to get a job? Better off weathering the storm and coming out the other end better off?
Population-level mortality prediction using electrocardiograms and ML
I've spent a lot of time and brain cycles over the last decade writing software, entire products actually, that now sit as motionless bits on a disk somewhere, unused and useless.

In the process of creating them I had a lot of fun, honed my existing skills and picked up new ones, broke out of various boxes I had been stuffed into in terms of how to architect systems, and just generally worked out my creative muscles.

I've also written a lot of software that is useful and used, and in a practical sense makes (lots of) money.

It's meaningless to break out the time and cycles spent on one Vs the other. The necessary skills required were enabled by one another. Moreover it would have been to a large extent impossible to determine a priori which would be which.

Am I an impractical person because I've spent time and cycles on the former?
Unless they're in withdrawal.
People think boring is good but it’s not. Simplicity is good. Boring is just what you’re familiar with.

New features done right improve simplicity by abstracting away complexity or need to reinvent the wheel. For example Go devs having wrote their own list .map() functions is absurd.

The best value for money, though, is money. If the 4080 does what this guy needs, even if the 4090 is better, that's still hundreds of dollars saved. The bar to clear is "is it fast enough for what I need it to", after that it's a luxury spend.
