They are showing that they have a strong interest in including it. Sure, it still isn't where I'd like it to be, but what does Google have to offer?

Bard is US-only, so not reachable for me, I don't even know how or if it is integrated into Google Search. They'd have a bigger potential in enriching their search with AI features, better search, probably a better AI. At least from what they have been publishing during these past two years, they seem to have gathered a lot of experience with AI.

In regards to Bing, I felt like you.com had a slightly better AI integration.

What ChatGPT lacks are links to related websites. For example, give me a links to the documentation of the `.into()` trait [0] instead of "only" explaining it to me.

> The fact that English uses Latin letters for writing doesn't mean that it uses any other properties of Latin script. Compare English-the-language to Latin-the-language; the latter is highly phonetic whereas English is not.

It has nothing to do with the spoken language at all. Written English uses a script that has symbols which represent individual phonemes. English uses a phonetic script. Yes, spoken English has diverged from written English. The script is still phonetic.

What the symbols look like is beside the point.
> Regulating data privacy isn't Apple's job

It's part of why I pay them, so I say it is.

> if you want that fixed then you should take it up with the government

Yeah, I'd strongly prefer the government do what it obviously should and reign in abusive, dangerous stalking-at-scale across the entire economy, but absent that, it sure is nice to have a choice to still get some of that regulation in one area of my life, by going with Apple.

Take away that option and I'm sure as shit not going to feel more free.

> Sure you do. You can either use it or you don't.

That's two choices, where now we have three. Buy Android and every app you download is malware; don't use apps; buy Apple and every app's trying to be malware, but at least they can't be nearly as good at it as on Android. Losing choice three doesn't increase my liberty.
Has anyone tried using phonetic tokens instead of text? I'm curious if that would help with things like rhyming.
I enjoy my work and put in extra hours because I want the business to be successful. Sometimes there’s an interesting problem that’s keeping me up at night. Sometimes there’s a deadline for an important customer I don’t want to let down. Sometimes I’m working on a side project to improve tooling that will make my colleagues and me more productive. Sometimes I just want to impress my boss and earn another pay rise or promotion. I’m now working for my third employer, each boss I’ve had have been workaholics and high achieving. I guess I look up to them as mentors and try to emulate them. Also I’ve never been very good at starting my own business on the side. I can never seem to come up with a good enough idea or stop myself from going above and beyond at work to free up time for entrepreneurial activities.
Anti-Natal Engineering
I think it's an optimization. Checking for null pointer on every object access can become costly, as it's a fundamental operation (everything is a pointer in Java). By handling SIGSEGV, you save time in non-null case, at the expense of more complex code and, as you've mentioned, non-standard behavior.

> A related trick is to put ferrite beads on MCU output lines; this takes the edge off fast-rising square wave signals, and can reduce needless inrush currents when operating slower buses such as I²C or SPI.

As /u/exmadscientist mentions, you probably shouldn't do this unless you know what you are doing.

I also want to mention here that the fancier MCUs and SoCs will have configuration registers for drive strength, slew rate control and more for each output pin. If you're having a problem with ringing or whatever, you should definitely look to these settings, and see if you can fix this way. You might not need to make a PCB design change, which is always nice.

Yes, early elementary reading education should include phonics. Calkins would agree - her first reading curriculum (which is relatively new compared to her writing work) tells schools using the program to supplement it with a phonics curriculum; That wasn't her specialty (just like she doesn't cover math and history). Reducing all reading instruction to phonics is wildly reductive, and her program does a good job at the non-phonics components (and possibly phonics too now? I believe they've added a lot more of that to the base curriculum with the recent revisions, but no personal experience).
I think I'd liken it to the fact that -I- consider myself to be European as well as British, but there are plenty of people who clearly don't, even if arguably European is technically correct as a descriptor of all of us.

FDIC says the national average is 0.35% for savings accounts; Bankrate survey of banks says 0.24%. Granted this included dinosaurs taking advantage of their customers, but the point is that it's weird to use the maximum to make claims about "market rate". Of major institutions that are trying to compete on rates, it seem to be 4.0% +/- 0.5%.
I was trying to ask if there was something more that the speed test do other than multiple or divide by 8. Is some other overhead that they add in? If not, then their math or testing seem to be off or curl/wget seem to be different than they get via the browser's javascript engine. To me it seems that the speed test number is inflated or higher than what one will even for the same URL off of netflix or cloudflares URLs used in their speed tests.

TL;DR (I work for Tigris, an open source serverless NoSQL DB and Search platform) I was surprised to see that, although MERN isn't as popular as it once was, there's still a lot of people using it and also a lot of new courses being published about building apps with MERN. So, I've created what I'm (admittedly not-too-creatively) calling the TERN stack: Tigris Database (DB), Express.js (web server/API), React (front-end), Node.js server runtime (and dev tooling). The post is what I hope to be an educational resource to help people get started and be productive with these technologies (TERN) as well as migrating from the MERN stack (which is simply swapping MongoDB for Tigris in a one or two step process).
The Toxic Reality of a Post-Familial Society
> To the average user, linux is not in any state to be a useable, daily driver desktop.

I've switched about a dozen average users to Linux from Windows, and they have all been happy with the change and have not switched back.

Based on that, I say that Linux absolutely is usable as a daily driver desktop. The only place I can see where Linux might not be the right choice is with a certain class of gamer -- but those gamers are not "average users".

> The #1 problem with the linux desktop is that there is no single linux desktop

That's a strength, not a weakness. For the user want a windows-like desktop? Done. Does the user want something more to their style of working? Done. Not being locked into the desktop means that if your objection to desktop linux is the UX, there's probably a different desktop that will make you happier.
Nice article! For the decade test, did you try just four 10uF? I've seen others perform similar tests where four equal values were from at least as good to much better.
I meant rollback of a policy that performed poorly. It is an interesting point you bring up about rolling back a child that I haven't considered. That might be a good policy to have.

A question to ask is it better for a kid to score 90% in algebra and it takes 2 more years or is it better that they score 50% and then move on to calculus. That would be a good A/B test to compare their lifetime earnings. My hypothesis is that calculus is a pretty useless skill and basic maths is more important in life.

There could be ways of doing A/B tests if the standardized tests are the same between states that have different curriculums.
It's definitely personal, and hearing what you prioritize and why helps. Thanks!

Does apple throw a .pdf.scr at every app during validation?
One click setup isn't going to do it. If Apple is providing banking-type services, they're going to need to have support available at the Apple Store. If they don't, banks will beat them every time. Customer support for noney is not something that can be left to a chat window.
Yeah, I'm totally with you. Which is why I wrote a lengthy bit. I didn't feel like you were saying that these practices aren't in Nintendo's financial interests. I merely tacked my explanation on so that if others come through and read it, maybe they'll learn something about how negative Nintendo is towards their community.

I feel like a lot of folks are kind of ignorant to what Nintendo is doing. I don't like these draconian practices, so I try and inform others of the BS as much as I can in hopes that more people will become vocal and stop silently supporting it.
> Ostensibly, it's a feature for your benefit (somehow), and they're doing you a favor by enabling it by default.

Some throttling by default for video actually is sort of for your benefit, at least indirectly, although I don't know if carriers are throttling more than that amount.

A surprisingly large number of people nowadays watch movies on their phones or small tablets. On screens that size at the distances they typically hold them from their eyes 4K and usually 1080p won't offer any visible improvement over 720p. On some devices even 720p probably won't offer an improvement over 480p.

It is to everyone's benefit if other people on the network don't stream at a higher resolution than is necessary to reach the limit of what is visible. Since most people aren't going to change any settings from the default, defaulting to low speed streams maximizes benefits.

>>Why they still rely on search/advertising is well known - Replacing a 150 Billion $$$ source of revenue is not a simple thing.

You just described The Innovators Dilemma. You'd hope Google, considering how everyone reveres how well run it is would find ways to avoid it, but they didn't not. You know who used to avoid the Innovators Dilemma amazingly well? Apple. You know who does it really well now? Microsoft. They literally killed their OS revenue to grow the company. That's the equivalent of Google killing their search revenue for something new. It's hard to do, but you have to do it in tech.

>>And compared to Facebook which is still 99% dependent on Ads, Google is much more diversified (total revenue is north of 250 billion). They have cloud, youtube, docs, google play, all the alphabet experiments etc.

In 2022, Google was 80%+ directly dependent on Ads for revenue, and 10.3% indirectly dependent on it. Sure, Google does a lot of things but 90.3% of the actual money that keeps the lights on is advertising. Their revenue mix is extremely similar to Meta.
This is interesting insight. So Chromebooks aren't cool? I guess I can see that when every school is issuing Chromebooks to the kids these days. I remember Mac computers being uncool when I was a kid because that's what we had in the school computer lab in the 1990s, and they were locked down enough that it wasn't easy to do fun things on them.

"Wine-aunt" is new to me too, and funny (after looking up what it means).
The idea that "the fediverse", an inherently decentralised network even has "a proscribed political viewpoint" is extremist and troll-y, yes. it is the technique of skating right over the bad-faith misframing of the issue in the hopes that we go along with it.

> You've just assumed the parent must be a horrendous person with horrendous viewpoints

No worse than what they assumed. I refer you to my other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35601135

And I'm not going to engage with your other talking points.
Tech Company Caste Systems
Dude it's an open protocol. You wanna dunk on the libs? Spin up a server. Presumably if you're on HN long enough to want to make a new account solely to bitch about the Fediverse's overall political stance then you have the skills to run one. Mastodon, Pleroma, Misskey, whatever, as long as it speaks ActivityPub it's on the Fediverse. Find new people who feel the same way by using #fediblock as a suggestion of people to follow, instead of people to block.

But the Fediverse is not one monolithic network. And nobody is obligated to listen to a single thing you say. So if you start hassling a bunch of people who are there to talk to their friends while also being openly queer, non-white, and liberal, then you'll start racking up the blocks. Keeping a community healthy involves kicking out people who want to destroy it, too.

I'm Greek. When teaching a kid to read English using phonics, how do you explain that "tough" and "rough" are written the same, but sound different than "though" and "borough", and that "doe" and "low" rhyme with each other and both the latter, but neither of the former?

And how do you explain "Loughborough"? Why not "Lowborrow", as in "low" and "borrow"?

Don't kids ask those things when you teach them to read with phonics?

I got similar questions for the French, btw. "Oiseaux"? Really, French?
Humans still have more perspective when creating music or other art. They can create and maintain themes on more levels, for now, but AIs that are multi-modal / multi-paradigm / whatever-you-want-to-call-it will close that gap, too.

A human can look at an art rendering of a humanoid character and immediately spot symmetry errors, missing fingers, strange limbs or joints, and the AI didn't know any better because it was imagining an artistic rendering from a prompt the same as any other art piece. It doesn't "think" of the physical accuracy of what it's drawing. You might be able to ask GPT-4 to rate the physical accuracy of a bad midjourney drawing and get an honest response, in which case AI already has the ability to do better, it's just not trained that way... yet.

In writing music, humans can conjure and enforce large-scale patterns in music. An AI would currently get lost writing a symphony. An AI might construct an interesting harmony, but it wouldn't dwell on and play with the harmony the way a human composer would. Yet.

I think there's enough demand for non-trivial music and non-trivial artistic representations of humans that these problems will be figured out soon. Whether that involves different training, different neural net architecture or a conglomerate of different sub-neural-nets, or multiple independent neural nets with some filtering others' output.
I mean, surely you have a single example of someone you can say is definitively doing this?
You’re giving away your age with this comment.

Of course it has caused chaos on desktop platforms, especially Windows in the early 2000s, late 90s.

Since that era, it’s slowly dug itself out of that hole.
Not OP, and it definitely isn't an 18th century reader... But "Bob Books" are a homeschool mainstay and a big part of how my kids developed initial reading skills.

They were very interested in books / reading and were pretty motivated to practice the books and flash cards.

We also used the free version of starfall.com occasionally.
Though it should be mentioned that SpaceX currently no longer pursues Starship upper stage reusability, as the upcoming upper stage prototypes do no longer have a heat shield. Is seems likely that they want to first finalize lower stage reuse, as it is likely much more expensive to produce.
I have a young cousin, he's recently had his sixth birthday. Reading is completely novel for him. He loves it. Even though he doesn't fully understand the words, he will point to letters and sound them, then he will read the full word aloud. It is an almost majestic thing to witness; he is so pleased with himself when he gets the words right. He was reading everything he could find that had letters in my house.

Let's put him down for a future bookworm? Anecdote as it may be, it is evidence that phonics is the natural way to go. I don't think he'd have the same joy if I pointed to the words and said 'that shape means blue' or whatever.

Discovering the underlying logic then making it your own is what makes learning anything a pleasure. Indeed, how many of us on this forum would enjoy learning to program were it taught the same way?
The optimistic side of me hopes that AI commoditizing this sort of manufactured art will help to ultimately reduce its value to larger audiences. My pessimistic side suggests that it only means that larger audiences will come to admit that they're actually interested in something other than the music.

AI is going to make the pinnacle reality TV.
Also curious. I've been meaning to get off my bank's lousy 0.01% APY and this is tempting me enough to even consider switching to an iPhone.

Developers don't get paid for information, ads, user data, or per-install / purchase on F-Droid. As a very general rule, apps are uploaded to F-Droid because people made something fun or helpful, and they want to share. Their incentives ("I made something fun!") align with my incentives ("I want something made by a dev that can at least pretend to give a shit about the user"). Apps are not inherently user-hostile, or made for an ulterior motive.

Proprietary app stores are... nearly as much of an exact opposite I can think of, regardless of who sponsors them; Microsoft, Amazon, Google, or Apple, devs are putting apps there to get paid. Sometimes it's user data, sometimes it's "Free" with in-app purchases pushed by dark patterns, sometimes it's to push for consumer lock-in, and sometimes it's straight up malware, like most flashlight and cleaner apps on Google Play. Regardless, the incentives don't align, and that is what I'm on about when I use the word trust here.

People don't like it when a UX change is made by and for the company that just so happens to screw lots of users, or break or slow their usage. That's exceedingly rare on apps made by devs in the first category, and depressingly common for the latter group.

Yes this is what's so bizarre! You and I are disconnected from that scene altogether (I don't even like Smash!), we don't have any vested interests and yet we can both see that it's really weird behaviour from Nintendo. We can only guess what's going on, tbh it's such a spectacularly wealthy company they can get up to plenty of dumb things without ever really noticing the impact on their bottom line.

4.15% is lower than 4.81%, but how did you decided that UFB defines "current market rates?"

UFB, I note, does not offer a debit card.

4.15% is not the highest yield currently available, but it would put them fourth on this list[0] of ten, making them better than average even on that rarified list. This without fees or minimums, which would put them behind only Betterment, which is not a bank, but a brokerage account.

As always with an Apple offering, there are ways that some people under some circumstances can find better terms so long as they don't care about some of the benefits Apple is offering, but that's a very long way from "below current market rates," and comes from a company a lot of people are already trusting with their funds.

It's fine if you already have an account with UFB, carry on! And next month when it's a different company leading the pack, transfer. And the month after that, while Apple is still consistently in the top five.

If that is the case, how would you describe the act of comparing English to languages which actually have consistent letter-phoneme pronunciation throughout the language (starting with e.g. the same number of available letters and phonemes and a 1:1 mapping between them)?
> But I have zero power over the EU.

This is true for every powerful country that you are not a citizen of.

For example: EU citizens have zero power over US regulations forcing US companies to share data with them. Plenty of examples from other jurisdictions as well.

I don't think there is a way around this. A global market with these influences is still much better than fully isolated markets.
