Wasn't there some article or something claiming that this company was a NSA honeypot or something? Or am I imagining that.
It is scientific jargon, yes, though, hm, I would expect any high schooler if not even lower could make at least some sense out of a "spin period" (if not knowing earth rotates, everybody knows a spinner), magnetic field strength (again, compass), age (...)? Luminosity? Also at least the units seconds, years should be known, Gauss is also high school knowledge and straightforward to infer from magnetic.. that this is about some object in space if astronomers observed it is also crystal clear.

That's at least half of the sentence :), expectations much too high?
Totally agree, even with the last sentence. Except I'm a bit more pessimistic and don't expect any of this to ever happen. At least not until it's even more too late than it already is.
Chrome was much much better than Firefox at the time, mainly because of V8. Firefox only got it's first JIT 9 months after Chrome.

On my 2003 PC the difference was very noticeable. I switched instantly.
>So what happens when you get promoted and are not qualified for the job?

You learn it as you go. Like some of the most succesful managers and CEOs to ever be (including Jobs, Bezos, and PG)

And if you can't learn, you get put somewhere else.

>What happens to their reports that have to deal with an unqualified manager?

As if most managers aren't already incompetent anyway...
> "have checked out become"

The notion that the retention curve for users on Threads is going to be a steady up and to the right line is such a pedestrian take.

Any and every product that sees a massive surge of media-driven signups is then going to see a dramatic dip, then (hopefully) a new normal of usage. The more dramatic the initial surge in signups, the more dramatic the drop-off will be. This pattern tells us very little about the strength of the product and it's going to be months not days before there's anything meaningful for us to say about its ability to retain users.

> I hang out with pretty liberal people and no one actually believes anything like this

There is a broad streak of illiberality running through left-leaning Americans who call themselves liberal. At its core liberalism maintains not that everyone is equal in every way, but that virtually everyone is equally capable of flourishing if given the same opportunities.

Liberalism must believe that since its unit of measure is the individual, not a faction or state.

If someone who calls there’ themselves liberal doesn’t believe that I’d like to know what they think liberalism is.

As I see it random selection means every leader will pillage as much money for themselves as possible as quickly as possible. More so than right now since there's some risk of them losing power (current or future) over it right now.
I prefer to diversify. That's why I have Bitwarden, Tutanota, NextCloud & ProtonVPN.

IMO it does not make sense to use any service from your VPN provider at the same time - it's like not using a VPN at all since they do know your real IP. No idea why this is not known to more people.
I'm not at all convinced that society is biased towards the more intelligent, as you are implying. In my experience other traits, the exaggerated sense of self superiority that the article discusses, a high drive to succeed, narcissism, lack of empathy etc take people further. Society (at least western society) is pre-disposed for these personality types to bubble higher.
I would actually welcome measures that promote the more learned, less extroverted personality types to be given more responsibility making the bigger decisions.

With ae + stock appreciation I'm getting m2+ pay so can't really complain.
The main thing that ChatGPT has gotten better at is rejecting jailbreaks and refusing to go off the reservation. It has been demonstrated that "safety" trades off against "capability". I'm sure OpenAI has evaluations that demonstrate the improvements they've been making to "safety" have not come at the cost of capability, but I'd bet those evaluations are wrong (by being insufficient). It also wouldn't surprise me if the tradeoff between "safety" and capability is just intrinsic.

You can have your model talk like HR or think like a mad scientist, but not both equally well.
Good for the EU. Teams was very late to the party and is winning due to the bundle.

Thank you! I knew the pseudo-tech advancement ladder we have, with seniors being expected to spend most of their time teaching new hires, so that they can learn on their own and eventually become competent at their job, at which point they stop doing the job, and start teaching the new batch of hires - I knew this looked familiar.

Yeah, it's kinda like an MLM scheme too.

My current company uses Google's Workspace and Google Chat.

My previous company used Workspace also, but they used Slack.

For my startup, we use Google Workspace, and I would never ever pay the same amount of money I pay for GW to have Slack.

The value proposition of Slack is not that valuable to charge what they charge. I would happily pay 1 or 2 euros per month per user, no more.

I have never used Teams. Nobody is forcing me to.

"JavaScript is an easy-to-use object scripting language designed for creating live online applications that link together objects and resources on both clients and servers."

Interesting to note the mention of servers!

I actually forsee a wave of JavaScript innovation within the concept of a traditional backend server coming soon, and it's interesting to see them mention a server here.

I've forever been from the school of "Rule number 404: thou shall never use JavaScript on the server side.".

But with React 18 and the serverless wave, I can totally see myself writing backend controller code in TypeScript that gets deployed by Vercel in the near future.
As said below, it’s a job not a conspiracy theory. Heavy use means I use the features extensively. This results in me effectively using my phone only for necessary things, no games, no social media. I don’t understand why you thought I’d spending more time when I use these.

No one has parental control over my phone except me. I have a system which can enter the parental control password (acting as a keyboard over bluetooth) when certain conditions are met, such as when I enter a certain geographical area. The difficulty of having to walk half an hour to unlock the password prevents me from impulsively unlocking parental controls to doomscroll. The system is still under consctruction though.

Yes, you cannot use your ham/amateur radio license for that.

Amateur radio is supposed to be firmly in the realm of community building to improve the appreciation of the radio spectrum, and to encourage amateurs to explore, experiment, and innovate in the field.

Using it simply as a "service" (ie, as a private data link to carry TLS when you're trying to browse without using starbucks wifi) isn't supporting these goals, and can be used to obscure misuse (for example commercial use) of the band when they should be applying for a commercial license.
Go can do this because it’s closer to Java or C# than C. It has a runtime that gets compiled into every binary. Rust deliberately avoided that by design.
Raspberry Pi and its various competitors... the problem is you can't just go and buy ARM CPUs or boards if you're not either willing to upfront serious amounts of cash or have personal relations to Qualcomm and friends (which is how RPi got their in).

You have a couple top tier vendors when it comes to actually performant SoCs:

- Apple, which exclusively produces for their own lineup, and has inarguably the best-performing chips by far in raw performance and power efficiency to a tune they're outperforming Intel

- Samsung, which use (almost) all their production for their own phones, tablets and TVs - I'm not aware of Samsung SoCs ending up in any third party product

- Annapurna Labs, which belong to Amazon for a few years now, and whose SoCs end up being used in servers (both AWS themselves and third parties, QNAP uses a fair few of their models)

- Qualcomm and Broadcom, who won't return your calls unless you're talking millions of dollars in volume, have all their documentation behind NDAs and have serious deviations from any kind of standards which is what makes supporting them in Android forks a huge pain in the ass, and even the RPi chipset lacks behind severely in something as basic as PCIe, see e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27150697

- Mediatek and Rockchip which are even worse than the above two regarding documentation/standards/BSP quality, but you seem to stand a chance acquiring one of their chips even if you're small volume - almost all el-cheapo/gongkai devices and RPi competitors are based on their chips

- NVIDIA with their Tegra lineup which seems to be used only on the Nintendo Switch, a few settop boxes and automotive

That's more than in the x86/64 ecosystem on paper, where the only players left in town are Intel and AMD... but these are based on some common standardized core around BIOS/UEFI/PCI, there is no such thing in the entire ARM space. If you want to design a device using ARM, you're left either relying on a more-or-less open BSP from the vendor or doing everything including the bootloader yourself, and it's left to each SoC/board vendor on how to wire stuff like sensors (yes, I'm aware of device trees, but they don't come close to the easiness of x86/64). In total, it's a fuckton of work for very low gain as the market share for desktop ARM (Apple aside) just isn't there.
Most/all of the legacy "name brand" companies sell their logo to third party manufacturers. For instance, GE does not make any of the consumer products that bear their logo.

To the two parts to your question:

a) Yes.

b) No. Your example of the weird English in the manual is witness to the fact that Philips does not care at all about the product, only the licensing fees they collect.

Also, Azure is "all new", so legacy compatibility shouldn't be a big concern.

Except... it is, because a bunch of half-baked MVPs were thrown over the fence and now have to be supported while they work on the "proper" solution. We're up to the 3rd iteration of VM monitoring, the 3rd iteration of AAD client libraries, etc...

For me ligatures improve readability which surprised me after two decades of not having them.

I think it’s because operators like != are actually considered a singular symbol not two characters. We just don’t have that many available keys so we use multiple characters. But in my mind it’s a single symbol and ligatures go a long way to help my brain parse it that way
This is just weird because there has been a chat app as part of Office since 2007 (Office Communicator, then Lync, then Skype for Business, then Teams).

That's way before Slack even existed.

Is the claim that it's anti-competitive simply because they made their existing chat functionality better? Or because Slack decided to launch a standalone product? Can I make a standalone Excel competitor and then claim Microsoft is anti-competitive for "bundling" Excel?

And a chat app is very much not out of place in an office productivity suite. I have to say, I don't understand the merits of this case at all.
Thanks for the explanation! I'll give it a try. I'm definitely interested in diagnosing and preventing errors.
> Where are those people promising slimmer and faster websites compared to absolute no JS?

The crowd that claims, that reloading the page is bad and therefore there must be JS involved to only generate parts of the page dynamically.

> Nothing to do with JS. Many libraries is a symptom of popularity and them being tiny is caused by trying (unsuccessfully though) to send the absolute minimum over the wire.

I think it does have to do with JS: JS did not offer much. Many things were missing. Other things were so bad, that people build abstraction layers on top, to hide the uglyness of JS underneath and then published those layers as libraries. So the language itself has at the very least historically directly contributed to the current state of affairs of thousands of mini libraries. Even JS developers themselves don't trust JS or their own ability to work around JS' quirks, so they include left pad and other funny things.

> What web 1.0 was doing is completely different to what the current JS apps are doing. Good luck implementing Figma with the good old web 1.0. I'd even say good luck implementing it anything other than the current web-app dev stack or some custom native UI library which would take a millennia to develop.

Not the GP, but I am also against the Figma pipe dream designs being pushed onto the frontend developer. In my opinion a good web designer should know CSS well and know the implications of their design ideas before pushing them onto others. Want to make a design that has something, that is difficult to achieve without JS? Better think 5 times about whether you really need it and whether that design addresses fundamental functionality of the website.

> But also almost always easy to avoid. It's a necessary evil for backward compatibility.

Only by writing code you usually would not have to write in other language, to plaster over JS' faults, or by including lots of tiny libraries as dependencies, dooming your project in the long run.

Colima: A Free Open-Source Docker Alternative for macOS and Linux
My only gripe with Magit (I'm not sure how Lazygit does with this) is how hard it is to search a large commit log. l l will pull up a truncated list of commits that you can search in, but if the commit you want isn't in that list, you have to keep requesting a handful more commits at a time to search in. I find it can be faster to just use git log and search in my pager instead.

Otherwise Magit is a fantastic piece of software :D
Much has changed in the last 50 years. We jumped quickly on the bandwagon of change and criticized the decisions of our grandparents. And here you can see the results.

Look at everything we've done with our core national values, our moral values and our traditions. For instance, nowadays it's considered outdated and even racist to be patriotic. Family values are seen as old school and outdated. The police is seen as the enemy. Disciplining children or letting them roam can land you on child protection services.

If we want strong institutions, we need strong values. Our ancestors discovered much through blood and tears and left us a legacy of how to have a society. Let's remember that before jumping on the next flashy trend. Let's move ahead but carefully.

Show HN: Pinplanet – pin where you’ve been
A while back my girlfriend was telling me about how she’d love it if there was an app where she could curate all her travel memories in one place and easily show people. Being a developer, I decided to give it a shot and initially created a web app. After that gained some traction and I also noticed some limitations on iPhones, I took the plunge to learn swift and build an iOS app.

So after many difficult months of working full time and developing this on the side, I finally feel comfortable showing it off! You can pin past trips and plan new ones. On a 3D globe! Your pins can include spots you visited (restaurants, hotels, parks, etc.), reviews, photos, and travel buddies. You can also create custom screenshots of your pins to easily share.

Tech stack is swift, django, and postgres for those that are curious.

I would really appreciate feedback. Please rip the app to shreds if you think it sucks.

Congrats on being the only commercial company to actually sponsor rrweb[0] rather than just fork it and contribute absolutely nothing back (or in the case of Sentry - remove their copyright and violate their license).

Seeing as you're "open-source", why chose to fork and detach the project rather than contribute directly to it? With a detached fork, other users can't even compare your changes to the original and pull in fixes. If you truly believed in the spirit of open source, you'd believe in working together and giving back; not just taking advantage of a free lunch.

It feels like all these "open-source" companies are just closed source but with open-source as a marketing gimmick.

If we are going to expand the discussion to general inaccuracy in human communication we are going to need a much larger thread.

I do agree with you that "serverless" is a misnomer and not a useful technical term. I'm guessing the marketing team wasn't fond of "dynamically provisioned and auto-scaled pool of virtual machine instance-based services".

> I'm not sure why you think that quoting random HN users proves anything

Does it have to?

How do you prove that what someone expresses is something other than opinion when it comes to programming practices? This isn't a field that is easy to quantify or distill into unquestionable truth. To approach anything nearing proof we'd need data from which clear conclusions can be drawn. A look at scientific publishing on a lot of these topics suggests that "proof" is going to be hard to come by for a lot of the things discussed here.

> but other people have other opinions.

Not all opinions count equally to all people. In fact, most people's opinions don't matter. However we do tend to value the opinions of people who are able to properly articulate reasonable arguments based on demonstrable results or experience.
I think in general one might consider "the cloud" to be virtual resources on hardware shared with third parties. So of course AWS/GCP/Azure, but DigitalOcean would probably also qualify since to my knowledge droplets are virtual servers on shared hardware.

Although renting virtual resources on shared hardware can be convenient (much easier to provision virtual resources than real servers), there are a couple of drawbacks. Most importantly, particularly from a password management perspective, running on shared hardware could expose your virtual resources to hardware exploits like the row hammer effect.
Ask HN: Using AI to visually detect musical instrument note played
I'm looking for existing tools/libraries or a guide to training your own model to do the following:

From a live videostream, detect what keyboard keys the user pressed or what guitar fret/string the user played etc..

I imagine with the current state of AI, if I train a model with enough data consisting of videos of me playing a musical instrument along with the tab/sheet music equivalent, it should be able to transcribe this visually. Am I underestimating the complexity here?

If I were to build this from scratch, what tools would you recommend? Tensorflow comes to mind but it feels like with the Tsunami of AI developments in the past year, there's gotta be a better tool out there.
