It's sad to say that some basic control UI I have seen are actually worse than these in totally unimaginable ways.

For example, how about some huge input latency introduced by unnecessary dizzying animations?

How about a volume bar too thin and has no hover transition it becomes irritating trying to grab?

How about rather than an easy-to-see handle, we simply use a bar with two colors, where the edge where the colors meet represent the volume level, and make the colors' contrast as low as possible?

> Most browsers have a beta/review release, you can run your test on that, once per day, automatically.

A large part of the post's complaint is that not only does Safari not have a nightly build, but they don't even give advance notice of when their "technology preview" (beta) or stable releases are coming.

Chrome, by contrast, not only has a public schedule, but a public dashboard where you can follow along.

This is an excellent deal for Finland, whose sovereignty is protected.

Is it the same for the US? Do I want an attack against Finland to be considered an attack against the US? An attack against the US can unleash the end of humanity. I find very risky to leave this at the whims of some out of touch Russian dictator.
>Is there any Researcher who maintains that LLM models contain Reasoning and intent?

That's the funny thing about the (in)famous OpenAI letter; the first sentence kind of does this:

'human-competitive intelligence' sounds like reasoning to me. What's even funnier is that [1] is the stochastic parrot paper, which argues exactly the opposite!

It honestly impressive how quickly they get a fix. Sure it take seven days for someone to get to the bug they filed, but from there it's fixed in 12 hours.

The post makes it sound like both Mozilla and Google are better at handling releases, but Chrome has the service worker bug, so I don't know if that's actually true.

I get that Safari is sluggish, at least compared to Chrome and is currently lacking features, but doesn't it seem like they've picked up the pace in the last year or so?

For me, a Firefox user, I don't share your point of view. I see a lot more "optimized for Chrome" or "run this in Chrome because that is the only browser we decided to support" because Google decided on implementing some feature of their own making. Never have I been hindered in my web browsing by something tailored to Safari.

> having people ridicule Xi on MJ would make it unwelcoming to people in China.

Having people depicting women with uncovered hair could make it unwelcoming to people in some Muslim countries, or at least their governments. Should we ban that too ?

What about gay couples kissing ? Should we ban that if (for example) the Russian or Hungarian government ask for that ?

I guess we are lucky that Iran or Russia are not a market as big as China.
That's somewhat similar to what happened in the US during the initial timeframe of DSL.

Regional Bell says your DSL is $60-120/month.

Your local ISP buys a circuit to a DSL aggregator (Covad, Northpoint, Rhythms, etc) and starts offering DSL for $50/month (their cost was $25-30/month).

After increase in customers, regional Bell says "we're offering $29.95/month for 6 months to new customers". ISPs nationwide start losing thousands of customers.

One by one, DSL aggregators start to go out of business which means ISP have no DSL connectivity and can't sell DSL anymore.

DSL is dead from anyone but regional Bell.
You are right but completely missing the point. The case is not that the PM couldn't have access to a Macbook if they so wanted but that it'd take the head of government of a country a whole month of their take-home salary to afford one. It's quite absurd, not the accessibility for the PM but to give a hint to how the average person of said country would definitely be priced out.

Yup. And Norway. And Poland + Lithuania if we count Kaliningrad. The NATO land border just grew by about twice. I don't think this expansion affects any military balance as much as Russia tries to claim though.
It might be nice to have a mode where you opt into having the slow-path code ignored (/it's behaviour modified) in case you use it accidentally.
These were just a few issues with the latest version. Similar problems have occurred with past releases for years, and it seems the author is justifiably stressed out over the lack of transparency and never being sure if/when a breaking change is about to occur for customers using Safari.
Oh, do not you worry, that path is called SNES emulators and teen crackers reverse engineering new releases' product activation loops. Curious teens are a staple of civilization.

My ChatGPT API Bill
I've been sending my git diff's to ChatGPT to generate my commit messages.

Today I checked usage from the first 2 weeks: $0.20

I originally estimated a $0.08/day (based on ~10 commits per day at ~4000 tokens per commit), but it's lower because diff's are often tiny (a few dozen characters), and I only use it for a third of my commits - the rest require thoughtful (human) messages.

In any case, this was a fun experiment, and a cheap way to save, I dunno, 5 minutes a week :)

> Been a Linux user for almost a decade. [...] No, it's because I was dumb enough to think I could just DD a Windows ISO, like every other ISO I've ever encountered. Microsoft are special, I need to use special tools.

You haven't been a Linux user for long enough. The Linux ISO you can "just DD to a USB key" is a hybrid ISO, which is actually a hack which has both a HDD-style partition table and CD-style headers, carefully set up so that their data areas overlap. Early Linux ISO images, like every other ISO image you would encounter back then, weren't hybrid; they could only be booted from a CD drive, and you had to use special tools to convert them to something which could boot from a USB key, or you could instead DD a floppy disk image (helpfully found in a directory within the CD image) to a floppy disk and boot from it (it would still read all the installation files from the CD).
Government stepping in with regulations and fines is of course not "market-supremacist" :-) Or: I think you and GP actually agree that we can't "just" leave it up to the market 100% and that we also need someone to look out for the public interest (which usually means the government).
Yes, and it's a FUDish distraction from the main point of political free expression.
Maybe a bit pedantic, but Norway (founding member of NATO) shares a border with Russia, although the invasion concern is less pressing.

That db product was Paradox I believe. Yes Microsoft had a lot to do with it. Microsoft in its embrace and extend strategy would keep adding / mucking around with the C/C++ compilers by introducing proprietary extensions that always kept Borland one step behind. Delphi was the gem in Borland's development tool stack. Made Microsoft's Visual Basic look like a toy. It was so far ahead of just about every desktop development platform of the time.

How did Microsoft handle that threat? They stole the lead developer of the Delphi compiler Anders Hejlsberg - who joined Microsoft and is the chief architect of .Net framework. In fact - if a lot of .Net concepts are direct implementations of Delphi and the VCL (properties, etc.)

Yep, Microsoft stole the one certified genius coder right from Borland. And the rest is history.

Ask HN: What is the best platform to host a developer community chat?
Hello everyone, I'm the maintainer of an open-source project with around 300 active community members in Slack.

Since Slack is good for some reasons, first of all, many developers have slack open all day, I still don't know if it is the best platform to host a community.

I've tried Discord in the past but the User Experience lack a lot in my opinion, and the app is not as used as slack?

Your entire argument relies on this assumption that I have a hard time to believe. I know close to nothing of Chinese culture but the few Chinese people I know are not shy about criticizing their president or their political class in general. I mean, the "Winnie the pooh" meme comes from China!

What you are saying was true at some point in the past - but Linux has come a very long way since then, and the system UIs of many distributions these days are pretty slick, and do offer graphical settings windows for everything a non tech-savvy user ever needs.

Looking at OSM, the sea borders of Russia and Japan touch. That seems like a good reason for Japan to care about what Russia is doing to another country it shares a border with.
Agreed. I think Toyota embraced H2 not because they wanted to replace a complex ICE with a complex PEMFC, but because a) Japan has no oil or mineral reserves to speak of, and b) when they started down that path, battery tech was woefully inadequate. Now that we've seen that batteries can power passenger vehicles just fine, I think Toyota and the Japanese government are both stubbornly engaging in the sunk cost fallacy.

But the writing's on the wall: H2 is dead tech for passenger vehicles.

Or Intel would have been cut out if they didn't put forth an offering that was less expensive and more performant? When NT4 came out, it ran on Alpha, MIPS, and PowerPC. You could even run (...at about half speed) x86 binaries on the Alpha port with FX!32. Apple has swung a transition like that twice, all the old Workstation vendors went from 68k to their bespoke RISCs, Microsoft could have just slowly transitioned out of Intel parts with no more difficulty than transitioning to IA64. Windows' PE format still doesn't have an elegant Fat binary setup (they have that Fatpack hack in windows-on-ARM, but it's worse than the 90s implementations), but that doesn't mean they couldn't have added one if compelled because the winning x86 successor(s) didn't end up being backward compatible.

The biggest squeeze on 32 bit architectures is the memory ceiling, and Intel was doing PAE to get 36 bit addressing on the Pentium Pro in '95 and kept squeaking by with PAE well into the mid-2000s before most consumers cared. You only got 4GB per-process, and it took a couple years for chipset support to happen. The chipset issue is itself an interesting historical rabbit-hole, only one of the first-party chipsets for the Pentium Pro - the 450GX - which was a many-chip monstrosity, even _claimed_ to support more than 4GB of RAM. I've never found an example of a 450GX configuration with more than one 82453GX DRAM controller as indicated by the documentation to handle multiple 4GB banks to the extent that I suspect it may not have actually worked. By 96/97 there were 3rd party chipsets that could do >4 processors and >4GB, most prominently the Axil NX801 ( https://www.eetimes.com/axil-computer-to-incorporate-pentium... ) sold by DataGeneral as the AV8600 and HP as the HP NetServer LXr Pro8.

As a kid I preferred cash gifts because it meant I could buy the things I actually want. As an adult I have enough disposable income that 20-40 bucks does not make a meaningful difference to what I can buy - I much prefer getting an item that I didn't think about buying, something that the giver has invested time into creating/slecting or that has some other personal meaning.

Of course that doesn't work out for situations where people just buy a random item as a token gift because they (feel they) are expected to provide one. In that situation the best solution is to remove that expectation - if nothing else works by forbidding gifts.

Or to sum it up: I think cash gifts only make sense if the amount is menaingful for the receiver and they are not expected to just gift the same amount back (i.e. the relationship is asymmetric in terms of gift transfer).

Taking $30m that will wipe out most of your stake, and still not carry the business through to profitability seems like a tough road to go down. You've said you're not sure you have the energy, and I expect that your energy will go down even further with a much lower ownership stake.

If that's the case then I would be looking for any option to not do that which seems to be either selling asap or cutting your burn rate drastically. You have 6 months of runway. Can you cut your burn rate to 0, or 2/3 or something that will give you a meaningful runway without raising the additional $30m?

It may also be a case of walking away. You own a good chunk of the business and if you think the board is going to fire you anyway, perhaps it's better to let someone else take the CEO job, you keep your stake and do something else?

> Given the age of the workaround it will never be fixed

Man, there are so many of these. Not just in FOSS but software in general. What makes it annoying in FOSS is the fact that developers would rather rewrite everything in rust than fix many-years-old issues, even when someone has submitted a patch.

Same feeling to me, I bought a M1 Air 16GB RAM + 512GB storage in 2020 which serves me really well to this day, when I saw the new M2 MBA I thought on getting one for myself and passing down the current M1 to my girlfriend but when I saw the prices for a 512GB storage + 16GB RAM I just gave up. There's no reason for me to get rid of my M1 right now, it'd be a luxury in itself, the absurd price just made it very easy to talk myself out of it.

These bug reports are very poor, with apparently no effort to zoom in on the underlying issue, but the WebKit team took application-specific problems like “can’t open project”, “the app gets stuck in the loading screen”, dug in and fixed them in days time. This is stellar support for a single company or product, props to the Safari team for that.

I do agree releasing a broken implementation is bad, not clear what happened there. Aren’t Safari releases held back until a TP is free of critical issues? Was this not marked as critical due to being reported as an app issue instead of a Compression Streams or Service Workers incompatibility / regression?
