> It feels like Apple has no idea what to do with the iPad Pro.

100% this.

I have an iPad Pro. If I want to plug it into a projector via USBC or a Dock I must ALSO connect a Bluetooth speaker device as the iPad will not allow use the internal speakers on the iPad while connected to an external _display_ fucking madness.
Sorry, i forgot 2nd amendment absolutists exist. Replace “illegal guns” with “stolen guns” to make the point make sense again. Also while you’re at it try out replacing “illegal guns” with “icbm launchers” just to check if you actually believe banning private ownership of weapons is always tyranny.

> By definition, breathing and killing are complete opposites.

So? Did your earlier messages include anything on breathing or killing? There were no specifiers.

> I wouldn't like it if people shouted slogans in front of my house but they have a right to it.

Alright, awesome on you for consistency! I don't think they have the right, and I'm lucky to live somewhere that also wouldn't think so.

Why are you trying to take agency away from women? Didn't you just say this kind of behavior is despicable?
Yeah, subscription sucks. $200 bucks for Logic and Final cuts desktop is such a nice deal. Final Cut used to be like $1000+ bucks and Logic $800+ or something.
If the data is of sufficiently low quality (and long term temperature data is), then it doesn't matter if it's the best analysis of the best possible. It's still going to generate unreliable conclusions.
People specifically want and are opting into "location history that excludes abortion clinics". Not opting into "location history including abortion clinics". Google is tracking them to abortion clinics anyway. This is a violation of their settings. Whether Google failed as a policy or glitch is irrelevant. If they had said "a bug in the checkbox left location history on for everyone who turns it off" that would be unacceptable.

"Google privacy setting tested and doesn't work" seems like a pretty important headline to me.

Ah I see the link. I'd caution that many people choose between github.com, gitlab.com, and gitlab self-hosted. The reliability of self-hosted gitlab is meaningful, especially when operated competently. People need to know if there are safeguards or foot guns. Backups alone can't prevent data loss.

Having a full DAW on the go is a killer feature imho.

The promise has been there since stuff like 8tracks on the iPhone 3G, and various Audio Units already on iOS. But I’ve always found the workflow very limiting or clunky. (Edit: I’m a Logic Pro user on macOS so my comments reflect getting things into that specifically)

The divide from putting down an idea when it hits, to working it into something, has always been really high.

Having something where I can potentially work out an idea with just my iPad , and then take it to my desktop is really exciting to me.

FCPX seems neat as well. I doubt it’ll be something people use in touch mode, but I can see some folks using it for quick on the go edits for things like social media stings. Go to an event, shoot, edit and upload. I don’t see it being used for more than that level of work.

But also, as much as both the things I mentioned are very spur of the moment things, I think the real value here is having a step ladder through the ecosystem.

A lot of people, especially youths, only need an iPad for more of their computing use. Having more pro apps on the iPad signals to them that they can shift more of their computer life to it. A lot may just even need to add a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

Conversely, the people who do want to use it more seriously after whetting their teeth on the mobile platform, will then see the Mac as the next logical stepping point.

It’s a smart way imho to get people on either side of the fence to consider the other side.

UK based with 10 years of experience in web dev, been unemployed from December to May 2nd.

December - February I searched as I would years ago - respond to a recruiter here and there and apply to a couple of great roles every week. Usually this would result in several offers.

I never got so few responses, so in March and April I went all in, and applied for 50+ jobs (not sure how many exactly, but a lot). Got a couple of offers well below my day rate.

I got tired of it and just emailed some of my ex-colleagues. Got the job at a place where I already worked within a week.

Totally, it's actually harder for Greeks that already speak modern Greek to pronounce Ancient Greek using Erasmian pronounciation :).
Ingenuity had a Snapdragon, but there was also a redundant pair of arm r5f microcontrollers (which are also lockstepped dual-core processors, so quadruple redundancy) where the flight controllers were, and a rad-tolerant FPGA (proasic) that watchdogged everything else. The Snapdragon was used for less critical code such as imaging and comms.

I wonder how AI (ChatGPT) would think differently if its base language was something other than English. I asked it yesterday about Ancient Egyptian interested also to see how math (Greek/Egyptian) would be represented, but
ChatGPT on the language itself:

"To provide an example, let's consider a simple statement in English and explore how Ancient Egyptian could potentially convey additional information or nuances:

English statement: "The sun rises."

Equivalent statement in Ancient Egyptian (not a direct translation): "Ra, the life-giving sun, majestically ascends in the sky, illuminating the world and ushering in a new day."

In this example, the English statement conveys the basic idea that the sun rises. However, the Ancient Egyptian statement incorporates additional cultural and religious associations. It mentions Ra, the ancient Egyptian sun god, attributing the sun's rising to Ra's life-giving aspect. It also includes descriptions such as the sun's majestic ascension, its role in illuminating the world, and its symbolic significance of ushering in a new day.

By incorporating specific cultural references and poetic descriptions, the Ancient Egyptian statement provides a more elaborate and nuanced understanding of the sun's rising, capturing the broader context and symbolic layers associated with this natural phenomenon within the ancient Egyptian worldview.

Please note that the above example is a hypothetical representation and not a direct translation, as the complete nuances and intricacies of the Ancient Egyptian language and culture cannot be fully captured in English. It serves to illustrate the potential for additional information and cultural richness that can be conveyed in Ancient Egyptian beyond the basic content of an English statement."
The models aren't based on observations and are regularly contradicted by them. GCMs are based on, in theory, physical laws. In practice they don't compute the right temperatures even for today, or the past, so we know they are incorrect or incomplete. Unfortunately nobody really knows why and this fact is hidden by only showing their outputs as self-anomalies, amongst other tricks.

No JS is required to 'run' a site. I can and do use Hackernews without ever requiring JS to be enabled. Everything works via POST, it's quick and simple.

Yes. A Non-JS world is painful, and there are many difficulties, but ensuring your site works with noscript would do the world a huge favor.
I find my personal computer very personal, much more personal than say the Commodore 64 I had when I was a kid.

I think the current state is mainly the inevitable outcome of most people wanting their computers toaster-like, i.e. appliances; and companies just doing their thing, which is maximizing profits.

Having lived through a lot of changes I think we're in a much better place than 20 years ago. The stuff I can do with my laptop to work exactly as I want it, while still being able to say access my bank account, is amazing.

In other words, I strongly believe that the "personal" part of the equation is strictly in the hands of the _person_.

Your comment made me ponder and interesting thought: In my personal bubble most people use Android phones and Windows machines (lower income country than the US) which does show how different the world varies from person to person.

At first, the "Windows is an afterthought" comment made me squirm inside, as in order to game or do anything remotely hardware intensive one would have to move over to a self-built machine, which means leveraging Windows or Linux.

However, it does look like we are (perhaps not so slowly) moving towards an always-online world, in which everyone owns a dumb terminal to which they access powerful hardware on the cloud. Want to game? You can do so on NVidia's or Microsoft's hardware. Want to run a complex machine learning algorithm? Huggingface has got your back. I fear that's where we're moving toward, and in my opinion, takes away freedom from the end user.
Subscription. I'm out. I already paid for these softwares on Mac and I don't get even a discount in the price. I was expecting some kind of upgrade option.
> This result feels like creepy perpetual motion. It’s like they’re teaching the AI
ethics by making it write an ethics textbook and then read the textbook it just wrote. Is this a free lunch? Shouldn’t it be impossible for the AI to teach itself any more ethics than it started out with?

This isn't free lunch, as the cost is spending more time/power. If you're editing text you wrote to make it better, this isn't a "free lunch", it's moving along the cost invested/quality obtained axis.
Historically that's was Google's approach, but now it seems like a weird Frankenstein mash of that+strategy.

E.g. the topical buying Nest, but then force folding it into Google Home

That's the opposite of letting the best solution among competing options win.

The broader issue is that it doesn't seem like there's a CEO who shows up in the Google Home's team meeting and live demos the broken and missing features, shows them on Nest, and then demands answers for why this wasn't done before they forced migration.

As has been quipped on here, Pichai seems to act more like a Google advocate who avoids rocking the internal boat, versus the rabid user advocate that Gates / Jobs / Bezos reportedly were.

And when there's no one you're afraid of at the top... of course the organization devolves into petty fiefdoms and bickering, at the expense of users.
I recognize that Amish integrate into modern society, make use of modern hospitals, take "Rumspringa", and sell their goods and services, all of which requires touch points with modern society. But unlike the monks depicted, they're not walking around with smart phones in their pockets and they don't have wifi in their churches or homes.
So, whats the alternative? Try compiling a decade old java app and get ready for a surprise. Python2 was already dead 2 years ago. If your company did nothing to at least ensure the code runs, thats their problem. All languages go though deprecation and changes, except the dead ones - only if you had used *QBasic, you wouldnt have this problem.

*the choice would be Cobol for most folks, but not only cobol isnt dead, it actually changes and deprecates stuff throughout the years - ex. Cobol77 vs cobol85.

Mostly it's: save money by paying more for more stuff
Any help appreciated even if it's just writing unit tests and/or finding what's broken. I'm in the labourious part right now (or was when I was last working on it) which is porting and writing all the builtin functions and seeing if they work. If others express serious interest I can start building out task lists / issues, etc.

But there's also some fundamental stuff (e.g. uh, persistence of the object DB, or properly handling permissions, or even how verbs are searched for on objects) that I just keep yak shaving before committing to an approach on.
Are you that worried about the yellow dot (on iOS) or equivalent on Android being overriden to hide microphone use?

Edit: Apparently people disliked my phrasing. Before Apple added the yellow dot to indicate the microphone was live I was far more sensitive to leaving phones behind. Now, I've relaxed somewhat. Absent concerns about intelligence service level eavesdroppers (which is a real concern for some situations), is there really still a threat there?
It sounds like you have not done much research on this yet, but I'm sure DIY plans exist online given the popularity of cold plunges with athletes / bro science people (I don't know that there's actually much peer reviewed evidence on any benefit of this stuff).

The obvious answer would be "make a bunch of ice in the freezer" but I'm sure you could get more complicated. If you do go with a circulator, will you also be treating the water for reuse?

Edit: looking at reddit, it appears a bunch of people just turn their chest freezers into the plunge tank? Check out r/coldplunge
100,000 tracks seems like an awfully low estimate, how did you arrive at that number? Just as a spot check, I've liked ~6500 individual tracks, and it would be very surprising if that represented 6% of their total catalog - I'd expect that actual percentage to be orders of magnitude lower.
So much this, Hulu might be one of the worst burying the "Continue Watching" section 3 pages down.

They all just want to slam you with what they want you to watch but make it intentionally difficult to just pick up the last thing you were watching. At the same time they roll new shows off that banner so fast you forget you were watching episodic weekly content.

UX across the board has been ruined by marketing majors.
Users need to turn off location history, or manually delete sensitive trips.

It’s not that Google is doing anything purposely malicious, it’s just that it doesn’t differentiate between sitting in the parking lot of Planned Parenthood to get an abortion vs sitting in the parking lot of Planned Parenthood drinking the coffee you got next door at Starbucks.

Or sitting in the parking lot of Planned Parenthood getting ready for your abortion vs getting ready to protest abortions.

This author seems to think google has too much knowledge and doesn’t know that it’s just dumb. It also seems odd that they don’t call out how to fix this by turning off location history, or removing items, or not using google. These are the only ways that I would feel safe that a group wasn’t able to find my abortion info.

That being said, Id rather all this data collection be outlawed and if this confusion leads to the death of selling location data then I’m all for it. I think the harm is greater from google (and others) selling location data to sell sugar and food and other harmful things through ads than the few incidents of law enforcement prosecuting abortions. Of course the harm from the micro offense of showing an ad for McDonald’s when I search for healthy restaurants and break down is very much below prosecuting women from seeking healthcare, it’s much more common. So it would be nice to remove the harm from 1M instances of crappy targeted ads from location as well as each 1 instance of abortion data misused or gay priests outed.
Show HN: A macOS app to use ChatGPT across all your apps, using a shortcut
I've been a ChatGPT user since its launch, and I upgraded to ChatGPT Plus as soon as it was made available.

Though it's a really awesome product, it was annoying for me to always have to open the browser, write the same prompt every time, manually copy my text into the chat, copy the response, etc...

I decided to build an application that would fix those issues I had.

It's a macOS application (like Spotlight) that lets you use ChatGPT (via the API) across all your applications, using a shortcut. You can create your custom templates and assign shortcuts to them. It automatically retrieves the context from the text you selected in any other application.

All the requests you make are directly sent to the OpenAI API endpoint with no middleman. All your custom templates and chat history are stored locally on your computer.

Except for Karpenter and EMR, no other AWS services (including Spot fleets) failover between Spot and OnDemand when losing Spot capacity.

You simply run Spot from other instance types, and if no Spot capacity is available you run at reduced capacity.

Alternative solutions such as AutoSpotting.io are doing it and allow you to run with failover capacity.

Calling ChatGPT on its 'Bulls***'
I repeated the authors question with just a slightly modified prompt. Way better results achieved. It seems the author is just being fantastical and contrarian, because how can you be so oblivious to simple prompting? Maybe I'm mistaken. I definitely get the hallucination problem but the constant focus on the negative side effects without mentioning the positive benefits is a common refrain it seems.

> I am going to interview one of the most outspoken critics of AI, Meridith Whittaker. What should I ask Meredith Whittaker about AI.

ChatGPT 3.5:

As an outspoken critic of AI, Meridith Whittaker has expertise in various aspects of AI, including ethics, biases, social implications, and accountability. Here are some questions you could consider asking her:

1) What motivated you to become an AI critic, and what are your main concerns about the impact of AI on society?

2) What do you see as the most significant ethical issues related to AI, and how do you think society should address them?

3) How can we ensure that AI systems are designed and developed with transparency and accountability in mind, especially when it comes to making decisions that affect people's lives?

4) Some people argue that AI can help mitigate human biases. What is your view on this, and how can we ensure that AI systems are not perpetuating or even amplifying existing biases?

5) How do you see AI affecting the job market and the future of work, and what can be done to address potential job displacement and income inequality?

6) What is your opinion on the use of facial recognition technology and other surveillance technologies by governments and corporations, and how should we regulate their use?

7) Some people argue that AI can bring about significant benefits, such as improving healthcare and reducing energy consumption. How do you balance these potential benefits with the risks of AI?

8) Finally, what advice would you give to policymakers, technology companies, and society as a whole to ensure that AI is developed and deployed responsibly and ethically?
