I use Apple maps because I'm tired of Google's bullshit, not because Apple Maps is a better product.

* Google just "has to have" _Web And Search History_ enabled to enable some features. Really? How did we possibly exist before this?

* I'm tired of typing in stuff into Google Maps and seeing ads across the entire fucking internet for bass fishing of I time bass (as in guitar) into Google Maps

* There is no reason I should have to "sign into" a mapping product or even have a fucking account. When I sign out, all the sudden somehow I'm signed out of google in my browser. What in the actual fuck? What are these cross-app attacks even a thing?

Apple maps leaves a lot to be desired but it's worth the hassle to get around Google. Its the same reason I own an iPhone... Android phones are superior in hardware, durability, speed, picture quality, interoperability, but you can break Google's creepy addiction to your gazing up your buttox for anything personal.
We could say this for a long time now; all the historical squabbles over religious story is evidence useless ideation is an innate human feature that wastes time/resources, and the advancement of skill at implementation is what’s actually improved our day to day.

Britain is a failed state. It might be the first truly modern state to properly fail.

Many will blame Brexit, but the writing has been on the wall for decades. Most of my friends in Britain have been either biding their time for retirement, trying to go literally anywhere else, or in a deep sort of quiet depression, usually aided by alcohol. These are well to do, white collar workers.

It will be interesting to watch the country decline. Will we see the rise of extremists in Parliament? Will Parliament even matter? Will Britain become a proxy for reverse colonialism in the way that Italy has? Can the financial might of London persist, or will there be an exodus?
Show HN: Fastlane – Prompt mgmt to create AI experiences as powerful as apps
backstory: having helped build Viv (basically Siri 2.0) w/ the ex-Siri team, it was apparent that assistants tend to fail when they're overly broad and opaque because people don't know what they can / can't do. Fastlane helps you build niche conversational AI experiences that can be really exceptional within a narrow, but deep, knowledge domain.

what: LLM prompt management (e.g. ChatGPT / OpenAI) that lets you tightly control history, prompt order and weighting, identity / personality, and LLM settings

who it's for (for now): builders, prompt engineers, ChatGPT power users, app developers

future: we're extending Fastlane's capabilities soon beyond prompt management so you'll be able to upload data and extend a persona's memory / knowledge, have multi-modal outputs, and more.

ask: let us know what you need! We're builders ourselves, building Fastlane so we can more easily build AI products. We just want to help enable people like us
I still keep Chrome installed for some sites that are just excruciatingly slow on FF like FoundryVTT and some video sites.
Awfully convenient that their due diligence results in everyone spending a lot more money!

Seriously though I have no problem with them setting a minimum quality bar, but the idea that poor people would be rich but for their ability to shop at Costco is just wrong.
If you restart Firefox, it won't load a restored tab until you navigate to it, so presumably most of his are already backgrounded.

I find it useful to periodically prune, though. Save to Pocket or other "to read" list for things I intend to eventually read. Bookmark things I may want sometime, but don't need open. Potentially use Tab Stash to save groups of references for particular research tasks. Toss things that realistically I'm just not going to get to ever.
Does Rails count?
Threads is still lacking a proper discovery algorithm, desktop interface, and compatibility with ActivityPub/Fediverse. Desktop viewing currently only works for reading, but not for interacting.

Meta was very tactical about the timing. Each additional main feature will likely bring a new wave of users that stay.
Show HN: Sendaway – a tool to get newsletters out of email and give them home
Hey everyone!

Over the past year, I've subscribed to 20+ email newsletters. Every time they arrived in my email inbox, I got so annoyed — mainly because they got mixed up with all the important emails I got. For me, it felt like newsletters never belonged in my email; it felt like there needs to be a way of just scrolling through them in a feed to read them all; it felt like a hack to have them be marked as "Unread" until I have the time to read them.

So I built a little email-companion tool called Sendaway. Sendaway is a "newsletter management" SaaS designed to be the home for your newsletters. Sendaway is organized with Inboxes, each giving you a unique email address that you can use to sign up for newsletters. You can use as many inboxes as you like to organize newsletters by category or context. Sendaway also works with email forwarding — in the app, we've written a guide on how to set up automatic email forwarding for tools like Outlook and Gmail, so you can forward all existing newsletters you signed up for to Sendaway.

Sendaway displays all your newsletters in a timeline feed so that you can scroll and read them. Hide what you read and never be bothered again. Filter by newsletter, filter by inbox, Sendaway takes care of all that.

You may be asking yourself: why; if I can organize them in folders in my email? That is a fair point; you can do that. But to me, just like I mentioned, it felt like a temporary hack, like there needs to be a better solution. What if I find a link or a quote in the newsletter that I want to save? Sure, you can copy it and store it in your Notes app. With Sendaway, you can highlight the contents of any newsletter, add a note to it and save it for later. It will forever be right there in your "Bookmarks" tab.

I would love some feedback on the app, and we have many more things planned down the road: iOS and Android apps, search, an "Explore" page with a one-click subscribe button to find newsletters, a weekly digest of all the latest newsletters, etc.

Thanks for checking it out, and keep your inbox clutter-free!

> If long line length was common then browsers would have a similar feature built-in.

I wouldn't be so sure. It was common for a long time (and still is on older sites) and browsers never got that feature. They also haven't bothered with a dark/light mode switch even though that is a much simpler feature since the setting is already there.
"genuine innovations" reveals their prejudice: Uber and Lyft had to drive 100s (perhaps 1000s) of inventions, from mobile and database platform changes to user experience. Legacy taxi companies weren't going to attract the kinds of engineers who could drive them, let alone the product leadership commitment to see them through.

10 years later, the knockoff ridehailing apps *still* lack key features found in Uber and Lyft.

p.s. I'm no fan of predatory pricing using VC, but this particular accusation is unprofessional BS.

> My claim is that the UK is now a lot more like Poland than it is like the United States in terms of the kinds of growth it needs to do – driven by improved use of existing technology and inputs, and accumulation of capital, rather than driven primarily by technological advancement.

The author goes on to never support this thesis, and instead complains about British politics and that UK growth isn't quite as fast as the US.

The UK has a higher GDP per capita than France. They are in no way a "developing" country.

Does the UK need more tractors? Is there high unemployment (labor underutilized)? It does not seem so. What are the inputs and technology that the UK needs to improve?
I never have 1000+ open but I do have many open in a couple different windows for long periods. Firefox does unload tabs when you restart (at least, it can be set that way. And there are extensions that let you unload them manually or after a time period). Unloaded tabs take no resources (or an unnoticeable amount if any) and allow this trick to work. That and vertical tab addons (I use sideberry).
I have a child with either the same disorder or a closely related one. The doctors I've talked with (Kaplan, mentioned in this article, and Levine at CHOP just last week -- both wonderfully kind and knowledgeable men) seem to disagree on whether POH is a distinct condition or just a more severe case of the same underlying GNAS problem. For us it has been called pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP, with a few subtypes), and pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (PPHP). She has very small bone formations in her skin (osteoma cutis) since birth, with relatively few new ones over the years. She's also had tiny bone fragments form in her gums and push their way out, and a few small formations in tendon sheaths in a finger and wrist.

There are other things to deal with as well. None are easy to see and not be able to do a thing about, especially when they cause pain. Both doctors mentioned above told us that surgery should be a last resort, because unless every affected cell is removed from the area, it can grow back. Kaplan has seen cases where post-surgery regrowth is far worse.

In a strange way, it is heartening to see that there are other research teams investigating this, even if it is because of such a terrible case with these sisters. My heart goes out to them and their family. Thankfully, my daughter's case is characterized as mild even though it doesn't feel mild when you live with it.
Except when public transit doesn't have to run on regular roads. Metro, trains, trams. Those win compared to cars a lot of the time.

Dedicated bus lanes don't run on regular roads, either.

Public standard is substandard when it's badly run, and not because it's public transit. People who have a car may still decide that the costs of running it are greater than the costs of using public transit.
To me, it is absolutely obvious. I have worked with lots of people in tech; mainly non-programmers (eg: lab managers, system engineers, cloud architects, etc). And, from my experience, many of those people prefer to talk face-to-face about detailed and difficult problems. Grabbing a marker and heading to a white-board to hammer out a tough problem is far better than a Zoom call with the drawing app. Can you do the same thing on a Zoom call? Sure, you can. But I think the results are much better in a face-to-face discussion.
I don't know the truth of working conditions and salaries - but let me give you some scenarios.

You lose your job at Amazon competitor and start to work for Amazon.

- You are paid less ( let's say 2.5% ) - that massively compounds over a lifetime and/or

-your quality of life at work is much less - and that's about half your waking hours for most of the week - so I'd call that a big deal.
I travelled the world and learned a long time ago that the world, as viewed through macroeconomic lenses, is pure delusion. GDP does not correlate with actual quality of life by any stretch of the imagination. The definition of "developed" versus "developing" is purely arbitrary. Life is highly context-dependent, i.e. there are plenty of places and people in developed countries who are much worse off than some places in "developing" countries (try comparing crime + cost of living in Baltimore to Lviv). Furthermore, the religion of "economic growth at all costs" is considered harmful. Wellbeing is not measurable in dollars. Even adjusted purchasing power fails to take into account cultural expectations of ownership (say, for example, necessity of owning a car).
Are you sure python needs that? I heard about c-type.

A python native module may be providing python semantics on top of a dynamic library (libressl), but if some python code decide to dynamically load the shared library to make direct C ABI calls, I guess this is built-in, isn't it?
Unfortunately some of the experiments require a whole team to carry out and take a huge amount of time to set up as well as having to be carried out under very specific conditions.
> Mathematical ideas, even simple ideas, are often hard to transplant from mind to mind.... Our understanding frequently deteriorates as well... The experts in a subject retire and die, or simply move on to other subjects and forget.... In short, mathematics only exists in a living community of mathematicians that spreads understanding and breaths life into ideas both old and new.

One of the great things about software is that you don't need a living community that holds every bit of every code base in their head. You can rely on abstraction boundaries, and then jump down rabbit holes only if and when necessary.

I really wonder how the work of Mathematics will change once computer-encoded proofs become mainstream. I have to imagine that will happen within the next generation or two -- as soon as the automation becomes more helpful than the hindrance of formality.
Yes this is infuriating. The old google maps was excellent at adding street labels everywhere using just the font size and layout. It was more on par with his traditional paper maps used to be designed. Maximize the information for the user. Nowadays online maps are no longer thought to be used as traditional maps in the sense of using them as a tool to explore / navigate. Now they’re 100% focused on giving you directions. Make it easy to understand the directions, suppress other useless detail because all you need to focus on is the next turn.
> As a GitHub user, I was always seeking green squares to try to make sure I had activity every day.

I have never paid any attention to that at all. It surprises me that some do.

Do you think it's common?
“I think journals should assume that all submitted papers are potentially flawed and editors should review individual patient data before publishing randomised controlled trials,” Carlisle wrote in his report.

This should be considered part of every journal's idea of due diligence and this shouldn't be a new idea. Shysters, con artists and snake oil salesmen have been around for a long time. The purpose of a Journal is to publish reliable information and weed out the garbage. How can you do that if you are not looking at the entire picture?
Phoenix for me.
Even if you were to conclude that right wing activism was motivated by protecting asian enrollees and was a continuation of the project from the Civil Rights Movement (which I don't, considering the arguments made in Fisher and the fact that conservatives opposed the provably race-neutral merit lottery proposal for TJHSST), you still need to contend with the very real fact that the specific legislation passed in that time period is being attacked and dismantled by one party.

And add to this the fact that the GOP voted for a man whose primary campaign message included policies explicitly denying basic human rights (travel) to an entire religion.
Maybe a bit off topic, but does anyone know about themes or GUIs for LUKS password entry? The command line version has pretty unintuitive behaviour for family members which are used to modern GUIs.
Yea, but that comparison literally underpins the main point of the article (Britain becoming like Poland is bad). Been to Poland recently? It's... kinda nice!

He says in 10 years Britain (currently nice) = Poland (up and coming?) = Bangladesh (not as nice)
Coca-cola is quite acidic though (pH of 2.52) - almost as acidic as a typical lemon. Those with sensitive stomachs might want to dilute with a meal.
It feels like we are finally at a tipping point of mass surveillance. The explosion in the prevalence of high quality street/traffic cameras, door bell cameras (that Amazon gives the police access to) and the growth of self driving cars (surveillance machines on wheels) are the final nails in the coffin of privacy which has been slowly dying since the start of the century.

It's drug dealers now. It's not difficult to see states using this to target women who travel for abortions, people traveling to political events etc.
strncpy isn't good either. But using length delimited strings is the best way to generate fixed length char strings and NUL terminated strings.
I don't keep hundereds of tabs open, but tabs do serve two purposes that are not covered by either the browser history or by bookmarks.

One is as a sort of ad-hoc to-do list. When I leave a tab open it's because something is unfinished and I mean to come back to it soon. (I just wish there was a chronological view so that I could easily delete the oldest tabs).

The second purpose is to store the scroll position of longer articles that I haven't finished reading.
Yep thats the page and no, it absolutely isnt hyperbolic:

>Can prices ever be "too low?" The short answer is yes, but not very often.

>courts, including the Supreme Court, have been skeptical of such claims.

I can think of about 5 examples just off the top of my head (not just Uber) where it was clear and obvious and they got away with it.

The courts are as skeptical as the FTC. Judge Jeffrey S. White tossed the suit against Uber despite how blindingly obvious it is that they do it.
This makes a few assumptions while not answering the question or even really understanding what OP has to say.

They don't seem to be bothered about promotion. More that they think they're doing a lot more work than everyone else.
The US was first to deploy large-scale electrification, and settled on 110 V @ 50 Hz. Everyone who wasn't buying their equipment from the US saw some flaws and went for 230 +- 10 V @ 60 Hz. First movers often end up committing to a suboptimal first draft version.

The UK has a lot of these. The railways are notoriously expensive and inadequate because they're over a century old, and we're designed for a different society with different traffic patterns. The housing stock wasn't affected that much but The War, and many of the larger older houses were built with the assumption that they're would be servants living there too. Heavy industry was reliant on a lot of manual labour, and didn't mechanise when the opportunity arose.

The biggest problem is that democracy arose in the age of the humanities, when the sciences were idle curiosities for eccentrics. The revolutions in England - which negatively affected the rest of the archipelago - happened in the seventeenth century, too early for an urban middle class to have its say. The political establishment still has too many landowners - too much power is feels by the descendents of warlords. Most of the power is held by former members of Oxbridge debating societies, who've never had to do anything than throw ideas about. The Civil Service is run by a core of 'generalists' with humanities degrees, with subordinate groups of 'specialists' who can never rise to the top.

The same problem afflicts business: the country is run by people who are barely competent in arithmetic. US politicians are accused of insider trading and gerrymandering; British politicians don't have the skills needed to commit these crimes. Boris Johnson needed epidemiologists to explain percentages to him; the water companies have debts that are almost equal to the dividends they've paid out since privatisation.

The solution is not political, but rather economic. Many of these businesses can be undercut by the use of industry knowledge. Software startups are cheap to run if the founders have a deep understanding of the problem, can build much of the solution themselves, and know who their customers are. In manufacturing, the Midlands and the North have long histories and community cultures surrounding these industries, and are desperate for someone to bring the factories back.

Once technical people have money, the politicians can be bought. They're surprisingly cheap.

In a mathematical sense, the problem is solved. We just need to stop waiting for the lawyers and classical philologists to do technical work, and do it ourselves. We're not getting value out of our elites, so we should get better ones.
Why would they suddenly paywall information if they weren't already?

The way I see it, there are roughly three groups of information providers:

1. Those who do it pro bono - because they feel like its a worthwhile thing to do, or because they believe in by "pay it forward", or otherwise because they haven't even thought that what they share is worth trying to extract rent from.

2. Those who do it "for free", as a way to lure people to where they can expose them to ads, affiliate marketing, upsells, or other such schemes - making money by being predators using information as bait.

3. Those who just put up a paywall, being up front that they're selling information, not giving it away.

(There's also a weird "in-between" group of publishers that are almost like 1., except they're being funded out of marketing budgets of companies that figure providing quality information is good advertising.)

LLMs don't change anything for group #1. They may compete with group #3, but that's business as usual, not anything transformative. The group that's directly affected is #2, which also happens to be the group that produces all the garbage on the Internet, so I'm actually very happy to see them forced to find a more useful way of making money. Since group #2 produces "information" that's arguably negative knowledge on the net, it's likely to improve the amount of quality information you'll be able to find on-line.
Extreme heat radiates around the globe as 50C recorded in US and China
It seems much more likely that they were benefiting from the catch up factor, as all the low-hanging fruit for raising productivity could be picked in the wake of a large scale roll back of communist restrictions that had been in place for 30 years.
As a user of free transit, i must disagree. It's great. The first poster isn't just correct in principle, but also practice. And it certainly doesn't deteriorate service. A sense of community ownership/responsibility grows from it not being pay walled.
ooh ok. So helium balloons in air vs helium balloons in a vaccum. Just missing some critical information on the page.
This doesn't seem very shadow. At the point you delete repositories, tell the user what's going on.
Your argument about “predatory” versus “unsustainable” pricing is a distinction without a difference. All predatory pricing is unsustainable. You’re literally selling at a substantial loss to take customers away from your competitors and drive them out of business. It is an unsustainable price. That’s the whole point.

Usually, you don’t do that in every market simultaneously, and are actually turning a profit overall, thus. Or taking yourself down along with the competition.

Uber and Lyft got away with it so long because VCs believed in growth above all else, and that at sometime in the unspecified future, the ride share companies would transition to a sustainable business model after they established a near monopoly.
The display covers 100% DCI-P3?! Wow.
...flywheel?
I think I remember seeing in an LTT video, mention of possibly using the expansion slot as an additional battery input. I didn't know if that was a possible direction considering the tech specs mainly focus on the 8x interface. Having bought a thinkpad for that exact purpose of an extra swappable battery, that would be a big boon if it was possible (even if you can't comment on a specific road map).
