I think Motorola phones are OK. I personally will never buy a Motorola after an early experience with them prior to Google buying and re-rolling them. But my wife used them and liked them and they seem less shitty than they once were.

I've had a series of Nexus and Pixel phones. I had a Pixel 3 for a long long time and really, really loved it. It was such a perfect phone. I'm on Pixel 7 now and it's... alright. Compared to Pixel 3 it's big and heavy and the fingerprint scanner is on Pixel 3 was so much better. Pixel 3 was just about perfect.

I just cannot stand iPhone. Everything about them is so annoying. My kids have them. Apple's parental controls are a complete joke. I just cannot understand why anyone thinks iPhone doesn't suck. The parental controls are constantly breaking whenever one phone upgrades and etc. Screen Time settings are the most infuriating and dumb as hell stupidity ever. On the other side Google's Digital Wellbeing is also useless trash (Seriously... only per-app time limits? Does anyone at all dog food that bullshit?). But on Android you just swap it out for something that doesn't suck.
It's a curious thing to only be able to teach the dangers of something by having children try out and experience the reprecussions of dangers. I think an important skill in life is to actually predict and understand danger ahead of time. As in, a knife won't just give you a bruise, it could be easily fatal if used in even the most mildly wrong way. Falling/jumping from great heights isn't something to just experiment with and try. Running in a busy street isn't something to try just to understand the dangers. Running up to an American bison isn't something to just try and see what happens. Etc.
Perhaps there is info that would normally be present and isn’t, hence stacked semicolons.
That's valuable what you say, and it's kinda odd some people here discard practical experience in favor of their subjective flavor of theoretical correctness.
since something that might be more palatable to some parts of the Republican party,

Quite unlikely. The line would be "California will just let everybody in and send 'em to our state!"
You're struggling a little here aren't you. 1) it wasn't me that compared them, 2) "There's simply no reason to choose Android - iPhone does everything better, for the same price." - which it does, even for the same price, and 3) "They are saying that android phones don't have to cost the same as iPhones for the same functionality." - it's not the same functionality if we've already established that the iPhone does it better, even if you spend the same amount of money.
The family dining / lower causal dining market segment (relatively cheap sit-down restaurant, with a waiter) is being squeezed pretty aggressively. The fast-casual segment (order at the counter, but not fast food) was already growing before the pandemic, and those were much better suited to pivoting to take-out and delivery when COVID hit.

As a whole, Americans are demonstrating that they care more about the food quality than the service at a restaurant, by eating at restaurants that, holding price approximately equal, sacrifice service in exchange for better food, rather than eating at family-dining establishments that do the opposite.
The bloat is mainly in two forms:

-All the pointless OS customizations.

-Samsung-developed apps that do the same thing as extant, better Google apps.
Ask HN: Any news about the replication efforts on that superconductor paper?
According to the original estimates, there should have been enough time for some labs to have completed replication attempts by now. Considering the process and materials were viewed as simple by most experts, it feels that we should have had more information by now, one way or the other. I could only find random tweets and reddit posts, but nothing authoritative yet. Does anybody know if a reputable lab or company has finished a replication attempt yet?
Where I grew up people still do pop ins. You get around your problem by helping the person out with what they were doing when you popped in.

Doing the dishes when you pop in? Cool, you get to dry them as I wash. Everyone basically follows this rule. There’s no expectation of entertaining guests if you pop in for a visit.
As a developer of an app for controlling smart devices in the home, this one is especially infuriating. What's worse, if you have code that needs to scan ble devices in the background (for instance to update the clocks on those smart devices) you need to tell the user to go to their system settings and allow location tracking all the time.
They've probably built something no one wanted and their launch success makes it hard to see between the lines. This is always been a problem with tech giants coming out with new products.
I sometimes even wonder if it's better to launch products like these under a different name/umbrella so that they can get some real users.
Which is absolutely wild to me. It is a great responsibility to wield a multi-ton machine in the proximity of other people. Driver's licenses are handed out quite freely and it seems the reason has less to do with competence than a complete failure of the economy as we know it if people couldn't bring themselves between the places that earn them money and the places they spend them, especially considering how far apart they are from each other in cities built after cars were brought into public awareness.
Unlimited = 40 GB then "480p speeds"
It is, if you wipe it and reinstall plain Windows and whatever drivers are necessary, which is trivial on x86 PCs and basically the default for technically capable individuals.

But even then, PC manufacturer bloatware doesn't typically modify the OS itself and is just extra crap bolted to it. The versions of Android that gets shipped on phones and tablets by contrast are different at the source level, sometimes bearing significant divergences from AOSP.
Whenever someone points out that Mastodon has failed to become the new Twitter, I just nod and smile, nod and smile.
Indeed. WhatsApp has like 99.9% of market share in central/south America? Nobody use SMS or iMessage over there.
This i want to be able to get rid of it all
I'm with you. AA could've and should've handled this differently, say by actually communicating with him and narrowing the terms rather than cancelling outright... but I have a hard time feeling much sympathy for someone rich enough to blow multiple orders of magnitude more than the average American's life savings (even before inflation) on an unlimited-ride ticket for one of the most destructive modes of transportation in terms of carbon footprint.
IME Christianity is as worthless as a broken clock and only correct half as often. Its foundations are so flawed I hesitate to give any credit when they stumble into a correct answer, just as I dislike giving credit to a dice roll.

Worse, acknowledging even an accidental good tends to encourage lazy thinking and reinforce a very harmful system.

And calling them out every time someone tries to throw them a bone doesn't take away from the bad elsewhere -- such as VC grifting shit coins and their panopticon dreams.
In Europe at least, developers having a Master's degree (~5 years of tertiary education) or equivalent is fairly common. From the stats I could find, that's roughly 50% of developers.
Does it now make more sense for Indian engineers to immigrate to Vancouver or Toronto to work at a startup rather than the Bay Area, given all the recent uncertainty and delay around greencards?
FileFillet: Efficiently manage files with fewer Finder windows on macOS
I actually tried to learn about sockets today. I gave it around 3 hours but I never reached the end of the rabbit hole which led me to give up.
Understood -- the big multinational I was working for employed an immigration law firm that tracked many such crossings, and they practically begged me not to try crossing by land based on their statistics (which suggested a higher probability of trouble in land crossings). I joined that statistic and learned to never take any chances with any part of this.
I added support for TGI endpoints in Discourse yesterday. That stings.

I wonder if the license is aimed to block companies from building TGI-as-a-service only, or also applies for companies who use TGI internally for LLM inference that power some AI feature in a complete product too.
For those who are interested, my friends and I have a book club that intersects with a lot of these kinds of topics. It's called Public Works because it’s dedicated to reading books in the public domain. We're in the middle of reading Thucydides right now, and it’s part of a larger arc on classical antiquity. All are welcome. Meeting information is on the website (https://r33d.org) which is updated at the end of every week. Hope to see more HN'ers there!
Yes, and they are good. So Pixel is not the only good one.
Data loss is terrifying. I am building a tool to help in data transfers.

I always assume my data is more secure in S3 than my on prem NAS. I also assume that 0.00001% accounts for anything from one file to an entire data center worth of bytes.
Whoa that is awesome! Thanks for the nice words. What is your username on pathology? You should drop by the discord and say hello!
The World’s Largest Wind Turbine Has Been Switched On – IFLScience
It’s honestly not even funny how much ahead iphone CPUs are to the at the time flagship android offerings. There is like 2, sometimes 3 years of difference.
It's bad! I got laid off late last 2022 when I had just joined in 2021

When I got 2021 New Job, I continued to interact with recruiters and even did a few more interviews into December! My inbox was full of recruiters, as it had been for the 4-5 years prior.

The recruiter spam started drying up for me around June/July 2022, what used to flow became a trickle. By November 2022, my inbox was a bunch of tumbleweeds and I had just been laid off.

I followed 6 referrals from ex-colleagues and only 2 got me to an actual phone screen.

I got my current job a few months ago, but that was after weeks of pinging recruiters directly on LinkedIn and stumbling on a exactly-perfect fit of a job description to my resume which I boasted about.

My inbox is still mostly dry.
The other piece is that individual action is good, but laughably ineffective in broad strokes. When we talk about polluters and wasters of renewable and non-renewable resources, corporations are the biggest culprits.

If we really want to conquer climate change, it starts by forcing the market to internalize the economic costs rather than passing them onto the taxpayer (and individual). Policies like cap and trade, polluter pays, and so on, are what's most effective at curbing climate change. Incentivizing proactive shifts (and penalizing laggards) towards renewable resources in manufacturing are what's required.
People are just eating what Google says raw. Apple will just need to implement RCS and everything will be better.

Don't worry that the only universally available RCS relay is operated by Google and encryption is a part of a non-standard Google extension. So Google wants Apple to hand all messages over to Google.

For fun, Apple should propose to implement RCS but only if Google agrees to use the Apple relay. No chance it would ever be accepted.
I mean the same reason Apple uses your phone to scan for nearby AirTags.

This isn't a feature that is actually costing them sales but a lack of DRM/etc affects what apps will be in their store.
I also don't want to spend a lot of money on phones and when my last android phone broke (dropped it one too many times and the glass shattered) I got an iPhone SE. But I kind of hate it. When the better goes (which will only be a few years, I'm amazed at how poor the capacity is, you really don't get a lot of value with low end apple phones) I'm going to switch back to cheap android with a big battery. I'm a low-usage phone user so android was fine for me.
TV Land's ratings were roughly equivalent to ESPN's, and it's success led to numerous imitators. Definitely a success.
I get different answers every time to "what is the third element in the periodic table" from llama2.

I'll hold off actually using them for now.
If I have something so important that it has to run for over a decade that I cannot risk doing an OS upgrade, then I don't see why I shouldn't need to pay for that, assuming the fee is reasonable.

It is also very easy, to take Debian 12, install Docker or Podman on it and just put everything into containers, that way the only thing that you need to work after an upgrade is your container runtime and you are all set.
I only use desktop Twitter, so without a desktop client I can’t use threads.
I don't use a mac. Is it really not possible to run arbitrary executables any more? How can they be so popular with developers?
It's actually a great opportunity to teach your kid to code so they can learn to solve their own problems by learning to launch their own startups.
8.9% attempted suicide. Thats what im referring to as nearly 10%
Honestly I wonder what is the big win in terms of performance by using static types here, because this sounds so terribly well fit for dynamic types (of which optionality by default is in fact a limited example). Such an odd choice to calcify a spec in a places where it changes all the time. "Static" optimizations should be local, not distributed.
My screen folds.
I paid and now keep getting "Your phone is starting" and it's spinning forever and never finishes.
Exactly. Why waste time learning something I will only use once or twice a year or 10 times in my career? Or that someone else (who is an expert) can fix for me?

There under "demo" are a few videos at 2x and 4x speed. It's slow. None of the videos include audio of the verbal commands or the latency between commands and action.
What lock-in do iPhones have that isn't a thing on Android? Honestly curious.

I'm glad there's people who appreciate knowing about this. When I try to spread it, I'm mostly getting confronted with ignorance.

This really isn't just Google. They apparently just want to be the first.

This is what the "conspiracy theory" about the digital lockdown (i call it that) is about. It's one more step in that direction and from the looks of what this does, we're getting too close to the destination.
Very interesting, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!
This is kind of where I was going with that, but I don't agree with the way its being described. I 100% agree with cracking down on individuals who are hostile based on identity, that was unreasonable and should continue to be excluded from projects.

The history of the developer circles is that we've been a bit rough with the language. (mount, finger, touch, zip, etc are perfectly acceptable things for linux commmands.. theres even a joke about it). Unsavory jokes in mailing list/code bases, etc. However, we've come upon a bunch of people who take the aggressively negative view on the words and interactions used and have taken it upon themselves to rename things and force changes. (Master/main, master/slave, whitelist/blacklist, [theres a whole list of these "undesirable" language things] etc ).

On top of that the CoC has implemented toxic positivity rules on projects. Implementers overlook the fact that they have been used as a weapon to be put in the project it's self. (There have been examples of racial, and gender based discrimination in the enforcement of the rules)

All of this brings in people who do not contribute in a UX, DX, engineering, management sort of way. Even when these things are abused/enforced poorly it still has a significant silencing effect and distancing effect from those who would be a positive contributor but is reluctant to participate.
Most formats use varints, so you can't have a 3-bit int but they will store a 64-bit int in one byte if it fits. Going to smaller than a byte isn't worth the extra complexity and slowness. If you're that space sensitive you need to add proper compression.

By delta compression you mean across messages? Yeah I've never seen that but it's hard to imagine a scenario where it would be useful and worth the insane complexity.
Seeing lots of comments about over scheduling children's free time.

I took music lessons, did Cub Scouts Weeblos & Boy Scouts, played little league, played Pop Warner & high school football and ran track. All after school activities.

As for freedom.. I took SF MUNI, BART, Ferries and Golden Gate Transit starting at 7 year old. Any free time I had was spent playing with friends. And I had to be home by the time the street lights came on.

So it is possible to have a lot of after school activities and plenty of time to play with friends and explore the world.
> Similarly, you can install Telegram, Whatsapp, Messenger, Signal, Element X (which I all have installed besides Whatsapp) and communicate with people available through those application at the utterly tiny inconvenience of having to open that app first.

...and the not insignificant inconvenience of knowing which of these apps each of your contacts uses or prefers. There really is a network effect of most people in a particular circle just using one thing. For US iPhone users at least, that thing is iMessage.
So far out of all the Twitter / X alternatives and competitors, Threads is the clear serious contender. Especially one that has 50M+ active users (as admitted by Zuck) out of the gate in less than a month with 100M+ registered users even without launching in the EU.

The rest don't have a chance at all and are as good as dead or cannot handle the amount of users that both Twitter/X or Threads has.

It is clear that both of them will co-exist and retention always matters, with any so-called 'exodus'. For Threads it is early days. On the other hand over at Twitter / X [0] it seems far from 'dying', from the months of nonsense from the media who exaggerated the immediate collapse of Twitter / X last year which never happened.

Perhaps it is time to admit that you have been manipulated by the doomsayers who's only mission is to post clickbait and attract your eyeballs to their articles spreading nonsense to grift for affiliate links.

> penalty for people who are bad at networking

You mean customers? I can't access IPv6-only websites because my ISP doesn't support it. Oh, and I have the best ISP in the area but none of the ISPs here have IPv6 support.

If you mean routing multiple servers through one that uses IPv4 so you only have to pay for 1 machine then yeah, I guess I'm bad at networking, that does not sound like something I want to maintain.
2021 is obviously an outlier in terms of driving and walking. Can't quite tell what point you're making but your example is not representative.
Sounds like... genetics?
The app is missing so many core components, no DMs, no web interface, no trends, it's hard to find people. This absolutely has a market; but honestly given how half-baked it is, they probably should have waited for another Musk crucial mistake, which is inevitable.
What's wrong with RCS?
Ask HN: Why does anyone pay for ChatGPT Plus?
I don't understand why people are paying $20/month for ChatGPT, that has a bunch of limitations, when you could just use an open-source chat interface like Chatbox + your GPT-4 API key?
shrug I wouldn't install Facebook spyware on my iphone anymore than I'd install twitter junk on it either.
Well, quite. Turn people into commodities via advertising, don’t be surprised that there’s a trade :-(
Maybe it was built from Krait, but I'm not sure. I never tested Krait and don't have microbenchmark code written to deal with 32-bit arm
My sister and I have separate mothers. My mother, who I lived with, was pretty absent throughout my childhood. I never really had any monitoring on how I spent my time, for better or worse, but that reality allowed me to kind of chase interests (or ignore interests) and cultivate a lot of passion and curiosity. My sister's mother was the exact opposite. She prioritized "getting to be a mom" over my sister's time and enjoyment, so she became a Scout Leader, Soccer Coach, Ballet Coordinator, Cheer Coach etc. and had my sister join all of those activities. Every day was school from 7-whenever, straight to dance, straight to homework, straight to bed. I don't think my sister ever had more than an hour or two free for her entire childhood. The outcome is kind of wild. She's an anxiety mess, overly controlling, but also unable to really think for herself or prioritize her interests (maybe because she doesn't have a ton?), and usually just takes the path of least resistance or that she's been told to take. I feel sad for her, but I obviously was powerless to stop it.
I don't understand how anyone is satisfied with ANY "gesture" based navigation, I still have the classic android 3 button setup from the good old days. I have a dedicated back button that is ONLY a back button, so no issue with it changing the "activity" you are working in like the modern android back gesture, a dedicated home button that always goes home, and a dedicated "bring up all alive activities" button that functions exactly like alt-tab does.

Why did any of this ever need to change? Why did dedicated buttons with defined roles and useful, predictable functionality that are always available, always work, are never misinterpreted as a drag instead of a "gesture", that you don't have to know ahead of time how to interact with the OS to discover how to interact with the OS.

Why the fuck are phone OS's navigated completely by a scheme that is impossible to discover without someone teaching you?
You phrased your question like the founder takes 20% of their own equity off the table. That's why people responding negatively.

Committed founders would invest their own money and work for free (or minimum salary), and use that $100K to pay company expenses/salaries.

Investing $100K for 20% in pre-seed company is possible if it's dillutable. Take into account that proper priced rounds require lawyers.
A much better aproach would be to sell SAFE.

Well, I have seen folks have a wide range of reactions. Everything from "I have ADHD too!" to "ADHD is a fake disease and just a way for lazy people to make excuses."

ADHD needs to be understood and destigmatized and I do talk openly about ADHD (like now) but it's just something I don't volunteer about myself in my professional life.

n.b. when I say "career suicide" I could have used a better choice of words. I wouldn't ever say that mentioning would torpedo your entire career. But it might be bad for your career at a given company IMO/IME. Depending on who reads it and how neanderthal their views are.
Android users that interact with iphone users via the default messaging apps end up going over SMS. This has a lot of annoying limitations (can't modify groups, for example).

iOS users will tell you how terrible that is and effectively put pressure on people to switch to iOS "like everyone else".
