Well, if you look back at the history of Apple, most of their popular products were considered unnecessary, especially including the iPhone. Of the Mac, iPod, iPhone, iPad, AirPods and Apple Watch, I don't think any of them were immediate hits except (ironically) for the iPad.

The thing about Apple is that they iterate in meaningful ways over a long period of time. I'm unlikely to buy this first version of Apple Vision Pro. But in a few years, I expect some later version of it is likely to be as indispensable to me as my noise cancelling headphones.
Apple’s implementation appears years ahead of anyone else. Just the way iPhone was when introduced.

Back in the day Nokia, Siemens, Blackberry, Palm and Ericsson had smartphones that you could do everything that iPhone could do or even more.

These were devices that only those who have to use it or those who are techno nerds used it.

When Apple introduced their implementation of smartphone, those who were using the devices from the established companies dismissed the iPhone as gimmick or inferior. Fast forward, the regular people queued for iPhones and the other smartphone makers are all gone.

Is this the right time to save and organize own “Reddit bookmarks”?
While we can't really predict the evolution of Reddit apps, in the light of recent API charge issues, I think it is safer to update - one more time - all the accounts one has ever used (active or suspended), with saved Reddit links ("Reddit bookmarks"), using something like export-saved-reddit [1]. Others may have better solutions, but this one - for me - worked well for many years, and still does.

Arch is too much work. I know it doesn't look like it to people who love to fiddle, but it's true.

I don't want to babysit my computers. My wife would also not be amused
Quick search on this thread didn't reveal the word "flame" (as in "flame war"), so I can´t resist: That's what the remote vs on-site debate is. About as interesting and ultimately inconclusive as Emacs vs Vi. Neither is universally better. It depends, _primarily_ on the people involved and their preferences. My advice would be to try and work with people that are on the same page about this with you - if possible. If everybody can muster the level of acceptance and respect for their colleagues required to make a hybrid environment work, that'd also do the trick.

What I find fascinating about the remote vs on-site flame war are the _stakes_ though, I don't think we see anything like it in dynamic vs static typing and all the others.

If remote loses, remote workers have to figure out how to relocate their entire families to a place they don't really want to live in, or accept severely limited job opportunities - on top of having to work in an environment they might not be productive or happy in.

If on-site loses, people who are fetching large salaries and bought a house in an area with insane real estate prices face a future where their house value shoots lower than the credit they took to buy it (more towards the national average), and where it's increasingly difficult for them to prove that they earn that large salary they're getting. That's on top of working in an environment they might not be productive or happy in.

Both sides have a lot to lose if it all goes either one way or another, that's unlike any other flame war I can think of. I wonder how much of this is at play at Google. Certainly seems to be escalating if someone feels the need to pull a stunt like that (with the performance reviews).
Too expensive now. I bought a 3060 a year ago and I'm not really seeing much of an improvement on the 1060 I was using. I'll probably keep this card for the next few years, I'm not chasing after an extra few FPS a year.
This is literally an article about skilled workers?
It's pretty neat when you get upvotes on answers you made months or years ago; a substantial number of them represent someone being helped out by your answer. I think that's pretty neat.

For years the open source tool I spent the most time on was one I only very occasionally used myself, but got a lot of feedback and questions. Because this was a non-technical tool most of it was over email, and translated in fairly few "stars" (although I did migrate to GitHub quite late).

All of this makes it rather different from voting on HN.
I’ve just reviewed ‘spr’, ‘git-spr’ and ‘git-grok’ which supposedly make it easier to submit a stack of prs for review. They all kinda work, I didn’t like any though. GitHub really makes it more difficult than it should be.

I think ‘stg’ with a GitHub publish/stack sync option would be a winner.
Perhaps it depends on region or perhaps you're referring to driving plugs outside of standard? Where I am a normal plug can drive around 3kw while a dedicated circuit drives about 7kw (both for single phase, more for 3 phase). When we had the dedicated circuit fitted it needed to sense the load from the rest of the house so it could dynamically back off to stay within our overall safe limits. Obviously I'm not saying that putting a box around something magically makes it better, I'm saying that something that plugs into a standard domestic plug (which is what I thought you were taking about) will not supply power at the same rate and that difference can be significant for charging times.
Still waiting for all the major failures people have been clamoring about. I think the real talk is that you can run a lot of dotcoms on a skeleton crew and when money becomes tight you can trim a lot of fat. It’s not something people like to hear because they realize they are the fat
That was literally my point. Did you just stop reading after the first sentence?

i second that sentiment. i also find the way the "question" is put somewhat confusing and technically it's not even a question as it doesn't contain a question.
If you replace a tokenizer with 5 bytes per token on average by a byte-level representation, you now need 5 times as much memory and (depending on the specifics of the attention mechanism) 11 to 25 times as much compute.

At the scales we're talking about, that's quite a hefty price to pay, and it doesn't even take into account that you might need more layers to replace the processing that was implicitly done by the tokenizer.
I was sure you were going to refer to u/shittymorph of reddit fame.
Not the same person, but one perk is you can influence a chunk of people just by abusing things like stickies.
Exactly. Apple has a track record and fanbase that means they can sell a $3500 device. Meta know that even if they could build this device, there is zero chance anyone would buy it. They have to start with the low price point to make up for the lack of branch cachet.
How often have we seen good intentions be punished?
Of course the options for Meta are limited on what they could do with that cash. M&A is a non-starter, and there isn't much more they could do in FB/IG/WA. Meta already does share buybacks as well. However, the opportunity cost, such as offer cloud services or SaaS products, is what they've lost. I'm sure investors hope they become more rational in their RL capital allocation and investors would certainly prefer more share buybacks instead.

Investing in RL is not a bad idea if it can drive significant top-line growth. However, unless RL turns into one of the best businesses on earth (like FoA), it will never delivered a positive ROI since its inception.

US debt is similar in that it's invested capital, but it does provide a positive contribution to GDP. If the US stops growing, our debt will become a massive issue.
SE has been more or less useless at least for me for about a decade, mostly because of completely overzealous de-duping moderation. It doesn't help that I'm mostly on Server Fault, where small differences in versions and combinations of services can make a huge difference in what the right answer is. But if the question is "how to get nginx to pull auth from two different databases" the answer can be very different based on 1. the version of nginx you're talking about and 2. the specific databases you are using. But a mod sees "nginx auth multiple db" and deletes it as a duplicate.
Debian 12 now includes opensnitch, but it isn't installed by default:

https://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/OpenSnitch_available...

For permission management you want all your apps from outside the distro (like Flathub), or you can manually use bubblewrap or firejail to create custom sandboxes.
Some of the mods really are bad. I've found SO to be OK as I only use it for very specific questions and word them well, so never have any friction.

But on some of the other SE sites? Man. I remember asking something on Server Fault about an obscure Apache setup, I can't even remember exactly what it was, but I was serving from localhost. The issue 100% had nothing to do with DNS, but some mod wanted me to add that info. I tried explaining it was irrelevant and he just deleted the question saying he knew better.

Petty behavior like that is all too common. Good moderation relies on a principle of least interference, not reviewing every post and punishing those that don't share a mods personal values/standards.
In Istanbul, uniquely for a Muslim country, stray dogs are tolerated and are “regulated” by the city government. One day I saw a huge pack stampeding down the road en mass. Turks seemingly have a penchant for owning giant dogs, too.

Maybe it's bad for the manufacturer. In a multitasking system is good to know what to expect from your memory when multiple programms access it.
Okay, but where is the comparison list for Manjaro? ;-)
Everyday Rails RSpec Snippets – Visual Studio Marketplace
I always have had somewhat of an unrealistic dream of taking an Apple Watch, removing the screen completely and installing a super thin mechanical movement on top (or putting the guts into a more tranditional looking case). I think it would be possible to use a smaller battery once the screen isn't there, to make more room for the movement as well. I'd love to have the health tracking features, and while I don't have an Apple Watch, I think that it would work without a screen and I'd just be able to use a phone to see the data.
The outdated answer problem is infuriating, particularly on Server Fault. We have answers about the Linux login process that predate systemd still out there and being used to delete new questions that have similar wording but need completely different answers now.

In what world aren't they? Their employer's shitty web frameworks are why IE11 has been relevant for so long.

Your choices are 1) download the native application (with much more access to your system) 2) follow the instructions 3) open Chrome because realistically you probably already have it anyway or 4) lose your job to prove a point.

I eventually got burnt out of answering there, but I found Academia StackExchange pleasant, and CrossValidated is in my dissertation acknowledgements.
I, like most people here (I presume), do not murder. But can you truly say you have never met a person, or got to know them really well, and thought, “this person doesn’t deserve oxygen”? I think most can at least somewhat empathize with having that thought.
Digg was smaller than subreddits on Reddit today.
I might have agreed with you if not for the fact that Reddit was effectively born when we all left Digg en masse because of a major, unpopular change just like this. Piss off enough people all at the same time and things actually happen. Reddit has been boiling this frog for so long I thought they had learned their lesson but apparently not.

Stopping tracking by the way of more invasive tracking like extracting content from emails is not a good thing.
It says it in the manual and it refuses to go when I try to break it.
As the price of photovoltaic continues strongly downward, all other energy sources will seem increasingly expensive. So much energy will be consumed during the day, and more and more nighttime energy use will be constrained. The traditional power sources like Coal, Nuclear, and Oil will be slowly decommissioned as they age, leading towards a reduction of base generation. Gas peakers will be used as needed when the base generation plus renewables don't meet demand. Over time, batteries will become a larger and highly predictable system to handle peak demands. The price of battery storage is plummeting too. Although there are open questions on if the improvements in battery tech will continue, if it does continue then in 30 to 40 years the cheapest way to sell peak power will be to buy it during photovoltaic abundance, store it in a battery, and then release it. At this point we will be able to stop using gas peakers.

I know of one that is probably quite common: excess liver fat. Also if you costume crazy low amounts of fat you could probably get low bile production (as in fruitarian low, not whole foods plant based low).
Come to Debian, tomorrow is the perfect day in fact :-)
In isolation this is true, but for most people they just want the product the extension is offering - skipping past boring warnings is a means to an end. There is also the issue of warning fatigue when extension authors normalise asking for more permissions - more warnings leads to less engagement.

One way to avoid this would be to have an extension market which highlights alternative extensions and how they differ in permissions. But it would be hard to maintain those relationships, create a new oppportunity to game trust, push responsibility onto the market owners, etc. And ultimately, many interact with proprietary products without a direct competitor e.g. if FAANGs made them. So I can't see it happening.
It isn’t even out, they’ve been working with an alpha version with no appstore. Let’s see what developers come up with first.
The fast pdf generation is great but I lament on their choice of markup language, why create yet another? I'm a fan of writing content in markdown and there is at least on markdown flavour (MyST markdown) that gives the essential writing features needed for papers. (citations, cross references, figures, tables)
The thing about an open source OS is that it can be infiltrated by a bigger more powerful OS company . . .
If you scrutinize this theory closely, you’ll find issues that are hard to resolve. But the really valuable insight that GNS added to the game design world was that there are more than one distinct type of experience that players and designers seek, and that by being more deliberate about which your game supports, you can have better experiences at the table
Too late to edit now, but unlike the commenter I originally replied to, I at least made an effort rather than replying “Noted” and calling it a day.

But that’s still apparently not enough. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I grew to appreciate this watching the excellent videos on Wristwatch Revival:

Which I only knew about through Marshall’s Magic: the Gathering links, but the watch stuff is surprisingly soothing.
Overheating shutoff of the 'dumb' kind is usually a bimetallic strip, though maybe this works as well
What you describe is the Withings ScanWatch: less screen, more battery duration, smartphone for data, ...
> t’s so much easier to be sitting next to someone, pointing at their monitor, and discussing what and why you are doing something

This feels like a tech choice issue to me. I'm constantly on calls with either slack/pop sharing where anyone can draw on the shared screen, or shared coding session like in vscode where you can see each other's cursors. It... works the same for me as pointing at the screen. Just without it being awkward when it's more than 2 people getting to cram into a a small space.
There is unscheduled down time as well. Almost invariably the planned down time stretches out far longer than planned.

See the UK and France over the last few years for recent examples.
>we are talking about people (homo sapiens) putting a major something on their heads that dramatically takes over their visual field for the pursuit of... what exactly? That is the puzzle.

A far better screen real estate to hardware size ratio than you can get if you dont put something on your head.

Most office workers have been using two or more 22 inch or far larger monitors for a decade now. People buy the largest televisions in their budget and are impressed when their buddy gets a new bigger one. Movie theatres 1) exist when television ownership is common and 2) advertise it when they have particularly big screens.

Laptops make up like half of all computer sales. Plenty of people have been trying to make working on tablets work to shave down a bit more size. Phones are frequently used for media consumption.

If I wasn't a person who existed in the world and used devices, it'd still be perfectly obvious to me that people want to see a lot of stuff at once but they also don't want to lug around the things necessary to do that. I am a person who exists in the world though and therefore have this very problem. I carry a phone everywhere I go and sometimes find myself giving up on tasks, or it not even occurring to me to try them, because I know they'll be a lot easier when I have my laptop. I carry it to less places and find myself doing the same thing, leaving off tasks until I'm at my desk, which I carry nowhere.

I keep seeing people mention an aha moment or killer app needed to make these devices make sense and I honestly dont get it. It doesn't need to satisfy some new want to be incredibly successful. It just needs to be a laptop with far more screen real estate than any actual laptop.
That would be amazing (especially if it was an Apple product).
Thank you very much for explaining.

I'm happy with that, and I will place an order.
You may be correct, but I doubt there is a high enough profit for such a cheap supplement to be counterfeited and sold 3rd party.
IronPort has always been the gold standard in this space.

Barracuda was the el-cheapo brand that everyone bought because they thought they couldn't afford IronPort, and then it shat the bed all over everything and they spent way more money trying to clean up after it.
Real AR glasses could also edit out the existing distracting information, like an ad blocker. I guess technically that would not be AR, but DR (diminished reality).
It doesn't require them to be inflicted on all of the internet. And it most definitely doesn't require you to go ahead and redirect a huge chunk of ad income to yourself while "processing" the standard.

This is somewhere between anti-consumer and stealing.
> wI understand very well that it is active moderation which keeps SO from being a toilet of spam and junk.

I often wonder about this. I can see how this is true for somewhere like Reddit where lazy memes could overrun any subreddit, but I'm less convinced when it comes to SO. The vast majority of SO moderator actions are on questions that non-mods have already downvoted and reported. These questions could/would be hidden by SO's algorithm anyway. Only new queue lurkers see unpopular questions.

I think that SO's moderation could be almost entirely automated and overseen by a small number of professional paid moderators.
But the media often picks up on over-hyped results from research studies that are either extremely biased or p-hacked.

Also reminds me of that one psychology study where they made a total coincidence into a correlation which the media went crazy over (https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2015/05/29/i-fooled-m...).
> There must be a reason behind the UFO media blitz

They already told us exactly why. Because there are unexplained phenomena which may pose a risk to national security, and they want to know more. Their intent is to reduce the stigma so that pilots and others are less afraid to report unusual sightings for proper investigation.

You don't have to believe in aliens to see the sense in this.
Everyone even marginally aware knows that modern society is held together by a thin layer of "security". The Flipper just makes what was available for a long time cheaper and more accessible.
Combining worst of both worlds, nice.
>to me it signals the end of a golden era of small indie client only apps.

To me it signals you're a fairly new entrant to the intertubez.

Third party frontends for a given backend have existed since time immemorial, with or without sanctioned access to the backend's innards.

Alternatives to Explorer and Program Manager for a Windows shell are one of the older examples, more contextually relevant and newer examples would be programs like Pidgin and Trillian which served as third party clients for AIM, MSN, YIM, ICQ, etc.

None of this in any general sense is going away, though specific examples might.
Typescript's type system is already undecidable (except that they limit recursion depth). I don't know much about dependent types but I'd guess it similarly doesn't matter much in practice that in the general case they're undecidable?
Found the firmware author.
I have read the linked post and they seem to be only saving links, possibly titles, but not comments or text posts?

Reddit's value is in the discussions (the links are usually shared on all social platforms, so that's the only differentiator).

So what value is there in a collection of links going back years (meaning most of them are likely already broken)?
The idea that Urs was hard core about colocation is absolutely false. I was a direct report to Urs when he was VP engineering and I telecommuted one day every week. Urs successor, Wayne Rosing, was much stricter than Urs ever was.
It was more about joking. Reddit claimed that Apollo made them lose money 20 million per year, so they had to add API prices.

Joke was to offer the app for half the price if the pricing was legitimate, and keep the users.
My bet is that they are leading with the Flipper Zero for a reason.

This shit has been broken since the beginning and enacting laws to fix this shit will be slow and expensive and many companies will be lobbying against it. Much easier to outlaw the Flipper Zero - as if that was the problem.
I stumbled this week on few answers on a topic that I’m following, and although they were really nicely looking, correctly formatted, etc. - they were absolutely wrong - ChatGPT was hallucinating, showing calls to functions that aren’t in specific SDKs, etc. And I’ve noticed that such answers are added to old questions too, adding more noise :-(
See, I feel the exact opposite on every account. Except I don't act like my word is gospel and nobody should think differently.
