And before we argue about whether or not Tik-tok can access this data, consider that we can be certain that they can't access it if they're banned. There is no obligation to prove that China is exploiting the US in order to justify a ban of Tik-tok.

> seems okish for creative writing

It may seem like that, but it's neither ok nor even okish in reality. Whatever time you save on not writing, you'll lose double that editing, and the end result will be average at best. Of course, average is still better than a sizeable chunk of human population is capable of producing, and sometimes it's enough. For anything of higher quality, it's hard to take it seriously. You can use it as a thesaurus or a dictionary in a bind, or for estimating how your text will be understood by less well-read readers. For creative, but factual writing it's even worse - you never know if it started hallucinating already or will in a moment. I'm not saying it's not useful - in specific circumstances it can be, but the utility for creative writing is, IMO, marginal.

Disclaimer: I'm not a professional writer, but an avid reader and a bit of a blogger. I'd love to be wrong on this and corrected by a real writer - especially if they can share in what way they use ChatGPT that's worth it :)

Manic Time is one such tool and the free version is completely without distraction. When you want you open it and get a colored timeline that you can hover over to see what program was active and the title of the active window.

I pay for professional to get a notification everytime I have been away from the keyboard for a while. Then I can manually tag that time and specify for myself if it is work related or not, and in case I work on multiple projects, which one it relates to. The paid version also gives me a summarized time sheet view of the week and can store screenshots if I want to (I use it, although if I need to use the screenshots for documentation, like when I had to configure live remote systems using Windows Notepad and with no access to VCS a few years ago, then I use something else that saves high resolution :-)

Apple needs to fix iCloud (or anything where a sync/etc is required) to something that’s at least reliable and transparent from the 2023 standards! Period. As of now it’s so poor if not downright broken.

Because without that everything on the software side by Apple will just remain glorified things that the fans keep bleating about - “just works”, “is perfect”, “just what I need”.

For heaven’s sake Apple does a shoddy job of syncing et cetera and obscures it from the user in the guise of usability and that “Apple knows what users need to do”, not what they want.

> is disk IO bottlenecked by NVMe/PCIe limits, or by disk iops limits?

Note that I'm out of my depth here, so this is all speculation.
Until we hit hardware limitations (which will be PCIe 6 if I had to guess), I'm pretty sure those are the same thing. One read/write iop = 4KiB. If your PCIe bandwidth is limited to N GB/s, then there are only so many iops you can physically send/receive to/from the SSD, regardless of how many iops the SSD could be capable of processing. So currently we're bottlenecked by PCIe, but I doubt that will continue to be the case.

Seaweed can be quite tasty. It's more that people are simply unfamiliar with the notion that they could be eating it. Even though of course a lot of Japanese and Korean cuisine involves it. I like Korean seaweed soup for example. And lots of people enjoy sushi. And of course the broth in ramen often contains seaweed as well.

I looked into getting my hands on some seaweed to experiment with in the kitchen a while back. Unfortunately my ignorance is a bit of a non starter. We have fantastic Asian stores here in Berlin but deciphering the labels is a challenge for me. Both because I need glasses for the fine print, don't read Korean, and the English/German translations are not that meaningful to me either. I'd say that's the main challenge: ignorance. People simply don't know that they can buy it, where to buy it, what to buy and what recipes they can use it in. A solvable problem but a bit of a hurdle short term.

There are probably plenty of people that like me are curious enough that there is a market for this stuff. I buy food because I eat it, mainly. The whole carbon sequestration topic is a separate one for me.
Politically, it can't. Because it's done way worse shit inside its own borders, against people, whom it has a moral responsibility to protect, and legally, too, by being a signatory to various un human right conventions. The us invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan were shitty but you would be very hard pressed to argue that it was a systematic killing and erasure of culture, considering how many people the US military didn't kill.

By contrast, china is actively erasing uighur culture, for example, by domiciling han men with uighur women (I am being too kind. What is going on is rape), systematically killing uighur men, and repressing language, banning religious gatherings, etc.

Cool! I used to have my own back in 2005/2006 I remember. Mine was written in AHK and worked by periodically asking me what I was doing.

Since then I switched to Manic Time which just logs the open application and window title. (In the free version, more features in the paid version which I use now even if the free version is really good.)

The benefit of your approach and my AHK script is it encourages thinking about how one uses the time during the day and not only towards the end of the week when the timesheets are due.
To be fair, Windows 11 internally identifies as NT10.0, the same as Windows 10's internal identification.

So officially, Windows 11 is just Windows 10 with new icing on top, but there are nonetheless significant changes and improvements behind-the-scenes that may or may not merit a marketing version number increase.
That's also a concern, and the comparison people draw is that we wouldn't let China own CNN. But I think the national security concerns are mainly around sensitive data (similar to the forced sale of Grindr).

>so hostile to someone who hacked something together.

It's not hostile but I'm a bit tired of all those projects that sprout around AI.

If it was an open-source project full of bugs, I would understand, and encourage and give solutions to the creator of the project, maybe even create tickets or fix bugs.

But with AI, we are flooded with tons of closed-source frontends to a closed-source backend, and those projects are more than buggy since they confidently give bad solutions. It's not like a "DIY electric car project," it's someone putting pieces of cardboard on a Tesla and pretending it makes it safer or faster.

I'm dumbfounded and I don't know how I am supposed to react to this, I would certainly not release that to anyone since it's antithetical to what I do and believe what software should be.

> This type of price discrimination isn't powered by surveillance capitalism

Ok in this particular example of price discrimination it isn't. Yet. Sure.

Now imagine you wan't to power it buy surveillance capitalism to get more of that surplus and current laws and norms are no object. What would that look like? How close do you think we will get to that? How fast? [1] Think vendors will keep much of that captured surplus in the face of Goog, FB, Apple, whatever market power?

[1] I'd just refuse to buy any ticket unless your country of birth and residency of your family was known, which holidays you celebrate. By which I mean make dis counts readily available on that basis (with exclusions) to really slug anyone going home for high holidays, for example. Frame it as a discount, whatever.

So that's one way it might go. Can you think of how this is going to work for insurance? Health insurance? What else would really supercharge revenue using techniques like this?
There is no question on whether China can access TikTok data. China has total control as long as TikTok is owned by ByteDance and the executives of ByteDance are physically located in China. No laws necessary. Give us the data or you disappear for a year.
Precisely because I can abstract it is why I use ChatGPT. It can do the boring, tedious, repetitive stuff instead of me and has shown me the joy of using programming to solve ACTUAL problems yet again, instead of having to spend hours on unimportant problems like "how do I do X with library Y".
It sounds like you’re either avoiding sales or just not interested in the product/space. Either way, the answer is force yourself to focus on sales. If it doesn’t invigorate your interest, let it coast while you work on something else entirely. View tinkering as an absolute waste of time. If you enjoy it, tinker on something else so you can perhaps point to net new growth for your efforts.

I'm more confused at how Biden became president after that, and how most of the cabinet from the Obama era is now Bidens cabinet. At least in all the warmongering positions. He was after all the instrument of the Iraq war before Bush. At this point I have to wonder if Biden has Obama's warmonger cabinet, or if Obama was actually trying to do the things he promised and couldn't because Biden placed all those warmongers there(I'm talking about, Nuland, Blinken, Sullivan, Kirby, Austin etc. leaving one person specifically out in fear of the HN crowd).

Ask HN: Anybody used GPT to learn Pharo?
I was just remembering trying to learn to even use Pharo, and how I had menus going off the canvas and stuff, before I could even consider trying to understand the whole paradigm, before I could even figure out where to write my code, before I could even figure out what code to write.

So I wondered--is Pharo pretty high up the list on coding environments that are less tractable even with GPT helping?

What would that kind of tractability continuum look like? Are there other modern coding experiences that are even worse in the sense of a graphical interface and mental model which can feel inscrutable due to uniqueness? And how would you order the easiest ones?
As long as that isn't set up by default, you can't rely on that being setup correctly for everyone or even most people. So .gitignore should include the file regardless of that setting.
The important Q: Even controlling a walled garden, how does one roll-out an entirely new file system that's never seen widespread commercial or retail use?
