As far as the tesla is concerned, its fun watching the screen to see what it identifies, and its cruise control works pretty well but the FSD should NEVER EVER be used. I test it every now and then against some freeway separators, and 5 years later its still trying to crash into them because somehow the road markers trump over the side collision detectors that are telling it there is a wall on that side.

A bunch of stupid stuff really.

There's janky series of actions I have set up where my phone detects when I get to my office building and sends a text triggers turning my computer on for me, signs in, and then runs a start up script(which starts all my programs and launches an RDP session as well, which has its own start up script as well that gets run) and then locks the screen again, so it's all ready when I sit down. Back when I played WoW I'd also use a similar system to launch the game and wait in the login queue on raid nights for me while I was driving home.

My spouse sometimes will text me from upstairs when she needs something, but I work from the office 2 days a week but she never remembers(she has some memory issues...) so I have it set to send her a reminder that I'm not home the first time she texts me for the day, but doesnt mark the messages as read or dismiss the notification so I can still see what she sent and reply if I need to. Also have it set to replay the notification sounds/buzz for messages from her outside of work hours because I am bad at checking my phone and sometimes forget to text her back. It also stickies the notifications from her in the slide-down menu so I can't accidentally dismiss them without replying.

Our oncall system at work has us dial into a phone tree and punch in some numbers to set it to yourself, I have my phone do it automatically for me.

I have a specific camera shortcut that will automatically text my spouse any pictures taken for that specific session until the app is closed/exited, usually its pictures of our cats but also useful when she's taking pictures with my phone for whatever reason or if we're having someone take a photo of the two of us, saves the trouble of having to send it manually each time.

Whenever the WiFI goes down at the house I have it set to turn my phone hotspot on, then send a text that triggers my computer to connect to the hotspot network, sign into the spectrum website and check for outages so I know what is broken.
GSK only registered for 60+ in their trial. Most likely because the clinical endpoints are more significant/easier to measure, and also because the safety trade-off is more weighted towards intervention.

That's the nature on fanboyism.

I met an apple fanboy recently. His thing was that apple is amazing because they care the most about user experience, the design is so amazing, and it's so much better than anything else! After he talked at length about how everything about apple is great, I said that I'd learned that apple made iphones slow on purpose 3 years in and when caught said it was about saving battery. I said that's not a good user experience to me, if the phone becomes slow after 3 years. He told me that _his own iphone_ is going thru that, and he still hadn't time to buy a new one but he was going to, but it was great because it was a conscious design choice by apple.

These people are just brainwashed by a brand.

Could work. I don't know enough about the specifics of experiment design for sleep research.

Lying is generally allowed as long as you do the right things as far as advance ethics review and design (and usually informing the person later, etc.).

It's worth noting that Apples stated bandwidth numbers aren't really attainable in CPU-only workloads, so for the sake of comparison to discrete CPUs they're not that useful. The M1 Max is advertised as having 400GB/sec bandwidth but the CPU cores can only use about half of that - still impressive, but not as impressive as you might think from the marketing.

(The M1 Ultra is the one with 800GB/sec bandwidth on paper)

Look, I had to go one way or the other: either I said it originated with Ice Lake mobile, and a pedant would come along and say Cannon Lake even though almost nobody physically possesses a Cannon Lake laptop, or I could say Cannon Lake, be pedantically correct, and get your response. Tiger Lake was probably even more widespread and that also predates Apple Silicon.

I agree with your general comment, and would add fingerprinting to the list. Many ad networks now fingerprint users to generate an identity for tracking when cookies are not available, which didn't used to be worth it before the phase out. And of course clearing your cookies doesn't clear your fingerprint.

> Google has even gone as far as adding a setting to their AdWords tracking tag that automatically scrapes the HTML of a page in search of anything that resembles a user’s email address or phone number to make it easier to collect first party data automatically.

Article refers to an op-ed by Lina Khan in the NYT [1], worth reading in its entirety.

"Scammers, for example, can draft highly targeted spear-phishing emails based on individual users’ social media posts. Alongside tools that create deep fake videos and voice clones, these technologies can be used to facilitate fraud and extortion on a massive scale."

These tools can also be trained on private emails, chats and sensitive data, ultimately exposing personal details and violating user privacy.

I tried added passkeys to my Google account, then tried to login thru incognito browser. It gave me the option for logging in with a passkey — and then showed me a QR code to scan???? Where did I go so wrong??
Sounds like you are describing how hardware tokens are typically done? With this being an idea of how to move the token into the cloud?

I can kind of see the reasoning on why the browser wants to do this. Every one of them has a "generate secure password" feature bolted on, now. And I'm not clear that any of them have a way to port passwords out to another source.

Still feels a bit uneasy to me. Physical keys for property provide the kind of security that just doesn't cut it for virtual assets. Such that I'm having a hard time seeing any model without terrible failure cases. :( Super glad that isn't my day job. Good luck to them.
At the end of the day, these are companies with shareholders and boards that they're accountable to. It's not as cut and dry as "they could just do the right thing". To suggest otherwise is either foolish or intellectually dishonest.

This is symptomatic of a larger problem, which I don't feel like getting into - but I do think that we need legislation around this to force these companies into doing the right thing.
> for the entire OS interface to become based on Chromium HTML+CSS+JS

I don't care about HTML and CSS and JS in specific, but yes, holy crud I want my native OS to be based on a user-inspectable XML-like tree. Yes please.

It doesn't have to be HTML if everyone hates HTML. But there is a lot of potential beyond just developer convenience to having native apps start representing their interfaces using semantic language. I don't know how to get across how much stuff that would enable on the computer. I need to sit down at some point and try to build proof-of-concepts because the idea is something I genuinely just randomly get excited about sometimes, even though I know it's probably not going to ever actually exist any time soon and nobody is working on it.

But just off the top of my head:

- I would like to be able to have extremely low-latency remote-desktop access by streaming only the "DOM" tree instead of the entire screen.

- I would like to be able to apply user-CSS styles to every single app on my computer. GTK/Gnome styling/etc... sort of works in this direction but... it's not as good. Let me right-click on a running app and inspect element. Let me style stuff in real time. This is something that was always a part of native development and still kind of is, but it feels like the native platforms have all gotten worse in this regard (but maybe that's just anecdotal).

- I would like to be able to pipe the interface of an app into another app and scrape its content.

- I would like to be able to script my native apps by running DOM queries rather than by learning some plugin language or simulating mouse movements.

- I would like to be able to stream a specific sub-tree of an app's interface to another device. I would like to be able to open up my phone and have it show specifically the color picker from Krita and have it pipe my input back into Krita and I don't want to learn a Krita-specific scripting language to do that, I just want to run a query and pull out that sub-tree and stream it. I would like to be able to have an app just pull out the "canvas" element from Krita and occasionally snapshot it or mirror it to another monitor.

- I would like to have multiple "views" of a single application by just passing the same application's "DOM" into two different renderers without needing to have two processes for the actual application.

- I would like to be able to do all of that on-the-fly without sitting down and writing some specialized program, the same way I can do stuff on a website by just right-clicking and going "inspect element."

And again, I don't really care if it's the DOM specifically, I just want all the stuff the DOM provides me as a user.

Oh wow, these are legitimately all good improvements. Some are things I'd use, some are, I'm sure, going to appreciated by others, but what's pointedly not anywhere on this list (except cheekily in a few screenshots) is any sort of AI-powered nonsense. I know they mentioned a while back that they were working on some tooling of that sort, but boy am I happy that (in this release at least), they focused on features that genuinely improve and extend the search experience.

I was curious to find out a few years ago that a friend of a friend worked for an agency that frequently worked with KFC. They seemingly got paid to just paly pranks and create buzz online; I suppose if it works, it works.

autopilot 1 is actually not that bad - if you understand the limitations.

Just don't use it in town, and do your own steering on extremely curvy roads.

I don't think it's any different from understanding the limitations of cruise control. If you stay aware, it can do a lot of work for you.

The act is not why one becomes a writer, it is the result and the sharing of that result, communication. He complains about one extreme and then swings to the opposite fence and starts talking about natural talent which leaves the overall piece to seem to be more about himself and ego than the topic, great that he loves to write and has unlimited natural talent at it* but that has nothing to do with anyone else. I write to communicate those things which can not be communicated anyway else, sometimes I do hate it, sometimes it hurts, sometimes it is effortless and I am not sure I can say I love the act of writing but the act of finishing is always something substantial and meaningful even if I am not thrilled with the result because it is done (at least for the time being) and I get to apply what I learned on subsequent work. Did he not understand the quote from Dorothy Parker that he included? it undermines his entire point when he tries to represent it as supporting his point.

What does it matter why others write? Who cares? At least explore the idea outside of yourself if you are going to go down this road instead of reducing everyone else to some stereotype.

*He was a tad ambiguous with this comment, he could be saying that his natural talent is not limited by something external but it is difficult to say other than he seems to be overly confident/reliant on his natural talent which results in the ambiguity and ego throughout this piece.

To be fair, the problem you are bringing up is larger than just sleep research. https://examine.com/summaries/study/0AKk3d/ is an interesting study that was looking at what is often thought of as a much more active drug.

I’ve driven a few Teslas lately and have been extremely impressed by the performance and comfort. But the auto steer and fsd preview are definitely underwhelming.

It can’t see a red light that is 120’ away to begin slowing down, nor does it consider that the navigation calls for a right turn at the light!

My theory is that the camera array needs to be larger and potentially much more data needs to be integrated into the decision making.

Even the fsd preview is scary when semi trucks seem to bounce left and right by about five feet per second while I pass them on the highway.

This is not a criticism of Tesla - the cars are a superb experience overall — just a note that the idea of self driving working on normal city streets or even suburban roads is pretty far fetched and will require significant enhancement to the tech that is in the 2023 vehicles.
Because it's what people are used to. From experience I know that switching between US and UK layouts is rather painful: the key sizes are different, some keys are in different locations. One downside of having a "special" layout than everyone else is that everyone else's computer is harder to use (and also, harder for others to use your computer).
There isn’t one. Whether you intended to or not this is a very typical capitalist strawman that claims that because central planning failed (of course it did), we can say literally nothing about value and therefore anything goes to the lowest bidder.

The problem is that as it stands, the set of oligarchs currently holding their positions (see recent work from Stanford etc showing the US at least is clearly and oligarchy) are the ones doing all the planning.

However it’s in the form of “investments” and the accompanying regulatory capture.

So this idea of a “free market” with perfect information not only isn’t possible - as economists agree - but it’s not even DESIRABLE as power law in such a system dictates that profit will ALWAYS be the paramount virtue subordinate to any other.
I’ve seen versions of the first statement several times from different users on HN, so know I’m not singling you out, but I believe this to be a deeply flawed view:

It’s not the candidate’s job to be interested in your company. As a founder, leader, or even hiring manager it’s your job. Create a positive working environment. Get to know your employees and what their goals and interest are. Do your best to find ways to incorporate their interests into their work and align it with the company’s needs. Build rapport and treat them with respect, so when you must ask them to do tasks that don’t align with their long term goals they won’t resent you.

If you can use your tech stack to get desirable talent in the door, that’s excellent. Now it’s your job to retain them, keep them productive and happy.

Regarding your second statement, every job ad I’ve ever seen for software engineering contains a list of preferable languages and libraries, and I’ve never doubted that all things being equal, preference would be given to candidates with greater familiarity in that stack. Should it ever the primary criterion for hiring? Probably not.
