That's a really interesting idea! With the dual trackpads plus all standard controller inputs and the paddles on the back, the Deck is really uniquely positioned here.

You could try plugging in a monitor via HDMI. If you don't have a dock (the JSAUX one is cheap and gets great reviews, but I personally have the official one) you can get a pretty cheap USBC to HDMI cable nearly anywhere. I found some in stock at a random walmart on a road trip. Was able to plug the deck into our van's built-in entertainment system (it still blows my mind that there are now vehicles with TV screens built in).

If you do end up doing it, I'd love to see a video/blog post/whatever about it
The conversion from square meters to square feet is 13690 * 3.28 * 3.28 = 147282.496, so at least it's the correct number for area. But yeah, adding "across" sounds weird there.

Edit: Actually for a much easier visual, it's right about 2.5 American football fields.
I love Cubasis, but it definitely has some frustrating bugs. The team is pretty responsive, but I'd be quite interested to see if Logic is any better.
Updates to Logic have always been a bit slow though…

That said, if a paid subscription meant that Logic (macOS) got more love and more frequent updates, I’d happily pay for it.

How to develop product vision for startup idea?
I have a startup idea I've been thinking about for some time. I have a decent (I think) idea of what I want the product to do (help people invest better using fundamental analysis), and what the mission is, but when it comes to thinking of what the actual product is, or what it looks like (what the UI/UX would be), it almost feels like I have "writers block" and get stuck.

Does anyone have advice on how to get past this stage? Should I be thinking about how to build product vision / skills? Do I need to talk to actual potential users? Should I try doing spec work with a designer? Apologies for the n00bish Qs here, but any advice / insight appreciated.
Mastodon will fail simply because nobody is paid to work on the project and things the core team are not good at (like creating a good UI/UX) will never happen. And that's going to continue to be the perpetual hurdle to user adoption or anyone taking it seriously outside of tech circles.
You also need to be in an MRI....

Not exactly sure what the 'its just a fad' crowd thinks about this + the Hollywood strikes.
It should go without saying, but I’m not talking about absolute workflows because there are no such things.

Workflows are subjective and contextual. I too use a Mac for a lot of audio work, and I’m not suggesting that one replaces the other in all forms.

I’m simply saying why this is a big deal for that one part of my workflow that had a hole which a Mac doesn’t cover.

The whole “touch vs not” discussion doesn’t add much because it’s not a binary. It’s only a subjective preference for me in my workflows in a specific context.

I’m simply elaborating on why I prefer an iPad in this context. Rebuttals are pointless as a result because it’s not a debate, it’s an elaboration of choice.

So again, I would say to people: “you do you” because my workflow doesn’t impose or force other people’s choices with their own trade offs.
Not much more I have to say about crying over 500 bytes json fetch request and policing others to make it at most once a day instead of every 3 hours.
The disappearing computer – and a world where you can take AI everywhere
Oh yeah, I have to check that out. I did a little with the 7B model (I think the description said Microsoft was involved in its creation? Which is interesting, shows they’re hedging their Bacha little bit away from open AI in towards true open source options as well) anyway the 7B Wizard 7B model was noticeably better that the other I tried, though also noticeably worse than the 13B “snoozy” model.

I get and agree w/ your general point. But at least for Bluesky watching folks in my feeds talk about getting access it's been a pretty diverse group. Much, much, much more diverse than Clubhouse. And by that I mean across industries, economic groups, etc and not just "diverse within Technology"
It's not backwards. The prosecution makes a claim and supports it with evidence. The defense makes the claim that the prosecution's evidence is fake, thus the defense needs to substantiate that claim. That's been true even before deepfakes were a thing.
Eh what destroyed proprietary unix was Windows NT, which was proprietary everything. Linux came along and mopped up what was left, but was able to do so largely because UNIX wasn't all that proprietary. As the thread points out, Sun had documented all their protocols which Microsoft never did.
That is missing the point. It is the trajectory. Machines that can analyze all orthogonal data to understand your behavior is not limited to a single dimension of a MRI machine.

No it wasn't.

There was no law preventing people travelling or doing anything.

Boris said "it would be best if you don't" and then held parties. He got away with it because he didn't break any laws.

I had to travel for work, so I didn't even break guidance as in their advice, people who had to travel still could. No one ever checked which is my point.

One of the McDonald's near me has been using the order taking software in one of the drive thru lanes for a while now. It's such a better experience compared to probably 90% of the employees that have been taking orders there.

It doesn't have someone whisper/shout through the speaker because they don't know how loud they need to speak to be heard outside. It speaks clearly and can be understood which is not always the case with the bored and disinterested high school workers the store tends to hire. And my personal favorite is that I'm not greeted with "McDonalds! Thank you! Order please!" which seems to be the standard greeting they're training employees with at that location.

I've only had it get an order wrong once (though the food does still get made incorrectly about 10% of the time) at which point it quickly switched over to an actual person to complete the order. You can tell it's more efficient too because at busier times, the non-human order taker lane moves cars through at a two or even three to one ratio.

Overall, I'm surprised that more locations haven't switched to the software already and especially that other drive thru businesses haven't begun testing the software out here.
This has always bothered me, in general, take games for example ; if I pay $70 for a game on the PS5, why cant I run same game on my PC?

I bought the game, not the platform.

FU - I am paying for running the 'license' of the game on a given GPU/CPU?

its Oracle Licensing policy, recall when Oracle tied your DB lic to a CPU? Fuck that.
> It's a very nice device to have next to your Mac Studio / Mac Pro to do your work while not at your desk.

I'm kinda curious - what does it do that my laptop can't? Am I missing out on anything by bringing a full computer with me when I have to work?

I've got an iPad (an older one) and it's just about completely useless for me. It doesn't support my file syncing app, it insists on using it's own file formats, it doesn't trust me to install apps and doesn't have enough builtin IO to charge and use a mouse at the same time. Lugging around a second Mac seems like a much more seamless experience to me.

> new or substantially renovated buildings that are within half a mile of a major transit stop

Did you read the article? This would only apply to a very small subset of buildings, and is itself designed to be a method to dissuade car ownership among the small slice of the population that is best positioned to adapt to it.
if you're two people then there is absolutely no reason to introduce a network API boundary between functional components

if you do have an API boundary then it's important to understand that interactions against that boundary are resolved at runtime -- in contrast to data structures which are resolved at compile time

if you break something out to a service that's only accessible over a network boundary then there's not much sense in requiring access to go thru some SDK library, right?
> Copyright shouldn't be inheritable; it should expire on the author's death.

That'd create some strange incentives though – if it looks like the author might be dying (relatively) soon, people might opt to wait for a possibly premature expiration (both the author's and his/her copyrights) instead of paying to get access right now. In a particularly dystopic future, it might even create incentives to speed up an unfortunate author's demise just to get at the copyrights.
I'm not certain, but I think Apple including video editing software in a subscription called "Premier Pro" might anger Adobe's lawyers.
Yep it's great overall but sometimes very confusing.
This is a somewhat misleading metric, seeing how FP64 compute isn't a priority for consumer GPUs. Still, it's great to see that at least some facet of modern GPUs can be replicated independently without using an ridiculously oversized die. There may yet be hope for some new GPU startup.
It's very easy for me to imagine having two work devices and two personal devices.

The better part is that the UI is actually programmable. If you use vim plugins in other browsers, you'll notice that the UI doesn't always respond. This is because the UI is injected into the page as an iframe or something.

This is not the case with nyxt. It's like using the old Firefox plugins before they killed XUL.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get used to using Nyxt. The performance was too bad. I'll need to try V3 and see if it's any better. It's entirely possible the bad performance is my fault as well, but I'm too lazy to try and debug browser performance nowadays when alternatives just work.
> Yes, polling indicates the majority would like to live in a 15 minute city, however that poll does not mention restricting vehicles.

So what? That's what cities do. They balance needs.

They weren't told that it would expand the quantity, scope or role vehicles either, so there's nothing deceptive here.

They're selling the vision, people like the vision, so they'll execute on it assuming conspiratorial nuts don't get in the way :)

The future doesn't need to involve having exactly the same role and scope for personal-use vehicles. Change is okay! We've way over-indexed towards the needs of cars and under-indexed on the needs of human beings. It's time to revisit that contract. And look, if people don't like it, the roadblocks can come down after we give it the ol' college try. Remember the status quo is the result of arbitrary decisions and compromise, it doesn't represent a local or global optima.

So I say bring on the roadblocks.

Because each medical practice within is its own business entity. Like the retail stores within a mall. Imagine the duplicated administrative effort.

It's ludicrous.

Also, care providers are treated like gig workers. For instance, my superior dermatologist has two practices AND a side hustle (reviewing medical images), just to stay afloat. (Two income household, raising two kids, house nearish to work, paying off student loans.)

They and their partner are debt slaves. For the foreseeable future.

It's insane.
On one hand, I entirely agree with you. The federal government was not made to perform these sorts of actions. But on the other hand, it's the only mediating organization outside the bucket of crabs that is our real estate market. Localities should have the power to manage their own regions. But when those localities are fighting between (0,0,0,0,...) and (2,0,0,0,...), it makes sense to push them all to a (1,1,...)
Earlier forms of authoritarianism like absolute monarchy didn’t necessarily include those elements.

This point is addressed in the article:

"An originalist understanding of the Constitution would consider parking mandates a taking of property in violation of the Fifth Amendment's Takings Clause protections, incorporated against state and local governments by the 14th Amendment. Congress would therefore be empowered to pass legislation to protect individuals' rights from these parking mandates."
Ask HN: Opening an FDIC insured savings account in US as a non-resident?
Seems like companies (or rather neo-banks/Fintechs) like Mercury provide an amazing yield while also being FDIC insured at the same time. This is not generally accessible for people who are residing in 3rd world countries. Is there any alternative banks in the US that natively support non-residents to open an account (remotely or in-person but without a proof of address) and provide FDIC insurance?

I'd gotten into the habit of catching up on social media in bed before getting up in the morning. Then I noticed that I was getting up pissed off most mornings, so stopped the habit as an experiment. It was the difference between being my naturally cheerful self in the shower, and some species of low level rage monster.

I've spent a life as a voracious newshound and infovore but have come to see info-gluttony as somewhat analagous to calorific gluttony. The sources of calories really do matter. A more hygienic media bubble is a better place for me to live.
That's super interesting. having to pay for "authorization as an Apple dev" to me is a much, much larger outrage than having to rent an editor.
To lay it out more clearly... Google has stated (in that linked document) that places like abortion clinics will be removed from location history

> Some of the places people visit — including medical facilities like counseling centers, domestic violence shelters, abortion clinics, fertility centers, addiction treatment facilities, weight loss clinics, cosmetic surgery clinics, and others — can be particularly personal. Today, we’re announcing that if our systems identify that someone has visited one of these places, we will delete these entries from Location History soon after they visit. This change will take effect in the coming weeks.

As such, if you don't opt into having that history kept (which it doesn't appear you can), you should be able to expect it will be deleted. That being said, it does seem to pretty clearly indicate that those locations _will_ be tracked; just that said information will be removed later.

The US probably should move away from a car centric society for a variety of reasons (or rather, provide robust opportunities for those who want to live a car free or car less life). You dissuade people from car ownership by building non car friendly urban areas [2] [3] and attracting productive members of society there (retirees are also an option of course, different market to market to though ["Sun City", "The Villages", etc). A superior option becomes the default or desired option. With stagnant wages, economically crippled younger generations, etc is ~$700/month in car payments [1] plus operating costs sustainable? Probably not. That's earned income that can go towards more productive uses for citizens (who choose to live a car free experience).

If people want cars, there are still ~82 million SFH existing housing units (+ whatever comes online over time) where that dream can be realized. That's not to say you can't still love your car, policy simply wouldn't cater to it.

Tangentially, think in systems.

Bleeding edge was like the third or fourth Pynchon book I read and it isn't the most Pynchony of his books but its my favorite. The setting, the protagonist, the general vibe of late 90s tech is so good. Though some of the hackerspeak has aged a little cringy. Its a very fun read that I'll go back to when I need a pick me up.

I didn't say a complete outsider could use and be proficient with any of these. I was fairly good with 3D overall to begin with.

Actually, I had to repeat the experiment 2 days ago - after not using 3DS for decade. It's almost like a new program. But better. It took me 10 minutes to import a model, take it apart, do basic operations and try to optimize it (unsuccessfully). With no help, no internet, in a hurry and half-asleep. It's just logical. Anyway, the "Getting started" button is right there.
