> If google can't make money with maps, why isn't map taken out of google into a charity/non-profit backed thing. There's OpenStreetMap, and Wikipedia wouldn't mind having a Map I guess.

Assuming maps still loses a good chunk of money, how would it survive as a charity or non-profit? Where would the money come from? Who would donate to the charity?
Are there any other applications using this style of computing? I'd love to see something beyond sorting. I didn't see anything on the wiki.

Error handling via sum types only enforces the rather weak constraint that you cannot access a non-error return value in the case where the function returns an error. It certainly doesn’t catch all failures to handle errors. For example, in Rust you are perfectly free to call a function which returns a Result and then ignore its return value (hence ignoring the case where an error occurred). Go’s error checking linters impose stricter constraints in some respects than the constraints on error handling imposed by Rust’s type system.

Additionally, most people on Android world use pre-paid and only replace the phones when they break down, get lost, stolen,....

Besides that, phones have plateaued in meaningful features for average consumers, they are good enough for their job.
How very brave you to dismiss screenshots and take obviously out of touch and responsible billionaire Dara Khosrowshahi over the drivers who have been saying this very thing for literally years now.

Seriously. What makes Khosrowshahi believable here, and why do you identify with him?
I doubt doctors will get better at this in our lifetimes. As we discover ever more about the human body, how are doctors expected to keep up with the research on top of everything else?

I’m hoping AI systems can help. A good medical AI should be able to stay abreast of all the research, know your personal medical history and suggest and evaluate any and all medical tests that are needed. Doctors will hate it, but I expect AIs will give much more accurate diagnoses than humans before long.
Yes, the apps have not been merged yet, but the article notes that Waze no longer exists as an independent entity internally and just had major layoffs, so it certainly sounds like the writing is on the wall.
It takes serious funding to make an excellent mapping app that contains worldwide business info, and a whole hell of a lot of paid review staff. A non-profit/charity can't really tackle this well. And since having a good mapping app is so important to the use of a smartphone generally, it makes sense for the two major smartphone OS vendors to each have a platform-standard mapping app.
Because perfect information transfer isn’t usually possible by a human reading a book or website, whereas computer systems can usually do that.

If humans could perfectly remember information, I’m sure copyright would be very different.
I generally like the 3d view, but I had a hilarious experience up in Marin where I was cresting a hill and planning to take an exit, with a turn I didn't know coming right after the exit.

The entirety of the next 3 steps, precisely what I cared about the most, was totally obscured by the hill in the 3d view.

The exact same hill I was seeing out my windshield. The hill in my windshield was the reason I was glancing at my mapping app for further guidance. facepalm
only if they're funny
My Canadian experience with that injury was basically the surgeon would operate on me if I wanted, and that would get me back to 100% faster, but it's more invasive and largely unnecessary unless your everyday life required faster healing (e.g. you job depends on it). Which it didn't because I had a desk job.

There might be an age component to it: the risk of it not healing correctly increases with age.
It's marginalized because it's a shitty job, like every other shitty job (source: I've worked a lot of shitty jobs.)
a much simpler way to execute an executable on linux without writing it to disk is to use fexecve, though i'm not sure if that existed in 02014
"Google Maps" is a misnomer. Call it "Google Business Search" or something similar, and the perceived problems disappear.

Google Maps provides a small fraction of the functions of a real map. And this fraction does not even cover the fundamentals: Street names, landmarks/points of interest, being able to draw or create marks on the map, and perhaps making basic measurements. Its main view has marginally more information than the "share location" screen of a messenger app.

It's a car-driving always-online consumer's guide to spending money. Extremely useful, but not a map.
If I learn something from your StackOverflow answers, do you expect me to share a percentage of my future salary with you?
You don't have to publish anything on the internet. And when you do, you may limit the allowed audience to just the group of your friends etc. Why publish anything if you worry that someone may consume it?
I wonder how much the regression of ChatGPT is due to it adding new content which has its origin from ChatGPT. The blog and SEO spam with ChatGPT fluff is going through the roof, eventually all of that will get crawled too and the model will just get positively reinforced on its own output. Or is that not a concern?
I went back and actually managed to do this. For future readers: it's true that in 2022 Google disabled login with the normal login/pw but you can create app passwords to do this.

Thanks! This was actually the only working solution from at least 15 different sites.
Like all community and crowdsourced open source projects openstreetmap is taking its time but boy is it beautiful when it crosses a threshold! When outdoors hiking or looking for cultural points of interest in a city trip OSM is the tool to use.

Commercial stuff, as expected, not as well served, which is in a sense a pity. The best way to assist people with their commercial activity is to provide objective information that is not biased by advertising.
what's the best map viewer for openstreetmap data that's in the main debian repository? it's okay if it requires me to run a local web server and point a browser at it

If they implemented this properly, they should be retroactively filtering all their content that is no longer allowed in the robots.txt, or carries the #NoAI tag.
I use a really old modded version (~6.xx) of Maps on Android (and latest version too). It lacks many features but has a very cleaner look for navigation.

Is anyone using a relatively new modded version? If so, please link to it

The one I use: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-mod-good-old-google-m...
I've been using on this trip to Norway and the detail is excellent.

(That said, the only place I found, including undersea tunnels, that I didn't get signal was in the lower car hold of the ferry. This place has infrastructure.)

I use it back home to label businesses and add other points to the map.

Organic Maps uses OSM data offline and is a little friendlier.
It was actually IRQ13 -- one of the input pins on the slave interrupt controller. It was typically mapped to INT 75h. I don't know if Windows remapped it.
Midjourney API and Diffusion and Dalle2 on Picogen
Hello Hacker News community!

We're excited to share that today marks the official launch of Picogen.IO! This innovative platform is brought to you by the dynamic Muvon Team (https://muvon.io), and has already been integrated into Zentask's production environment (https://zentask.ai). Picogen.IO is a unique service designed to generate stunning images using just a single interface, implementing various models like Stable Diffusion 2.1, XL, Dalle-2, and our standout feature - Midjourney.

The Midjourney feature is what sets us apart. Although there's no official API yet, we've cracked the code and can now offer this feature to our users.

To kick things off, we're providing a concurrency level of 1 (1 active generation per account). As soon as we validate our MVP, we plan on expanding our offerings to include even more possibilities.

On our launch day, you'll gain the ability to generate and upscale an image. We've strategically kept our feature set minimal at the outset, enabling us to swiftly gather your feedback and iterate.

We're eager to develop any features based on your suggestions! If there's something you want, let us know and we'll add it to our feature queue. To show our appreciation for your support, if you purchase credits worth $100 or more, we'll prioritize developing your requested feature ASAP - most likely within a week to production!

Don't shy away from asking any questions!

Get ahead of the curve and join the waiting list here - https://www.producthunt.com/products/picogen-midjourney-api-...

We're thrilled to embark on this journey with you – let's redefine image generation together!

I was being genuine. I lived through the Microsoft antitrust trial and like several of the companies they obliterated with their anti-competitive practices (specifically Be). They had 90+% desktop OS market share and they used that to prevent PC manufacturers from selling competitor’s operating systems, bundle a free browser that destroyed an entire industry of browser companies, and other behaviors that made it impossible for others to compete.

So when people say Apple has a monopoly, I want to know what market they control so entirely that they are able to eliminate any competitors should they choose to behave anti-competitively. People often say they have a monopoly on iPhones, but that’s not a market, it’s a product that they make and sell. If 90% of mobile devices were iPhones, I’d agree, but they’re not, so Apple cannot have a monopoly in that market.

Sometime people suggest they have control over mobile development. Targeting iPhones is profitable because iPhone users spend money. It’s no different from console development (PS5, Switch, Xbox) where all software goes through a gatekeeper who takes a cut. How does that control mobile development when they’re in the minority in the market?

They have a huge market cap and pile of cash, that still doesn’t make them a monopoly. They don’t have price control in any market segment. Sticking with phones, you can get Samsung and Pixel phones for higher and lower cost.

AFAICT they don’t meet any common or legal definition of a monopoly so I am interested in what industry people think they control.

You’ve not said why you think they’re a monopoly, so I can really only assume the common things I see people complain about. A company having business practices that might be considered hostile does not make them a monopoly though. That word has a specific meaning.
>but on every Firefox instance I have, the search is entirely broken - it won't return any results.

Works fine for me, with uBO and a bunch of other extensions installed. You might want to try disabling all your extensions and then re-enabling them one-by-one.
Here's how I understand it.

By nature of its architecture, it can only predict the next token. However, the architecture may be flexible enough that it may be able to uncover the underlying patterns within its training data in order to help it predict the next token.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_approximation_theo....

Then suppose there exists a well defined algorithmic process for human level intelligence, of which some approximation to it appreciably resides in the training data.

Then perhaps the LLM or networks like it, have started to learn aspects of this algorithmic process, then leverage it in order to successfully predict the next token.

In other words, by forcing it to predict the next token, but giving it the flexibility to do so in any way it deems helpful, LLMs have learned higher order concepts such as abstract reasoning and "general intelligence".
According to historic SGML DTDs for HTML, HTML 2 [1], dated 1995-09-21, doesn't declare a color attribute on body yet, while HTML 3.2, getting recommendation status in 1997-01-14, introduced it. HTML 4.01 strict removed [3] it, while HTML 4 loose [4] still has it. It's absent from the W3C-recommended HTML 5 spec captured as DTD [5] published in 2014, as well as the DTD for WHATWG's current HTML review draft dated January, 2023 [6].

Interestingly, <pre> and others were "deprecated" in HTML 2.0 already. Needless to say, they've become un-deprecated and are still in HTML.

I would switch to Apple Maps if there was a web-based version. I often search Google Maps in Firefox on Windows and then star map locations that I then pick up in the Google Maps app on my phone. I know the components of a web-based Apple Maps exist because sites like DuckDuckGo use them, but AFAICT there's no way to log into Apple Maps on the web.
> {name of a local chain} - {neighborhood or city name}

Wait, what's wrong with this? This is just good practice. It's helpful to be able to, when communicating with someone, unambiguously refer to the exact location, e.g. Westville Chelsea v Westville East v Westville Hudson v Westville Wall Street.
Fans of Free-Software believe the opposite of "closed source" is not "open-source", apparently they believe the opposite is "source available" - but how many people would agree?

The USPTO denied a trademark and service mark for "open-source" to the OSI when they applied: "So “open-source” is not and cannot become a trademark"

> https://opensource.org/pressreleases/certified-open-source.p...

Why should a 10-point list of "Debian's Free Software Guidelines" for the union of public domain software + FSF style Free Software define the opposite of "closed-source"?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_Free_Software_Guideline...

Why should a "Marketing Campaign for for Free Software" dictate what is the opposite of "closed-source" software?

https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094510/http://opensource...

Why doesn't the OSI focus on it's own trademark:
"OSI Approved License(tm)", a trademark that it actually owns;
rather than forever trying to harass, bully and shame independent that share all of their code but otherwise eschew "free software" and "public domain software"?
>Real maps show street names labeled on every street

In your locality. Not all places have street names.
If a human read a website and profited from the knowledge obtained, I don’t think we’d expect them to pay royalties to the site owner.
I wasn't sure if I was imagining it but this seemed to change in the last year or so for restaurants on my phone. I used to zoom into the local area when travelling, and click the food icon to see what's around. Now it zooms out and shows a 25km radius. Useless when I want to pick up lunch within a 5 minute drive.

I have to zoom in and pan around like a bird pecking for crumbs.
1. Containers predate Linux, appeared in other UNIXes before GNU/Linux, and Windows also has them.

2. Any languge able to call into Linux API surface is usable. And if we go down the UNIX native languages route born at Bell Labs, C++ also counts.

3. That depends on how much someone knows C (properly), versus other alternatives
What kills me is I'd easily pay 50~100 eur a month if Maps had to be non ad subsidized.

This is to me Google's most everyday impacting product, and what makes the difference between me being stranded/lost or making it in time. The stories of people ending in a lake for blindly following directions are cheeky, but decent maps are just that important, and Google Maps, how flawed it can be, is currently the best for so many areas.
yeah I think the point is a bit muddied. Academics are always working... to me, the main take-away is that he got 6 days to think, and only had a single day of "disruptive meetings" to help ground/discuss whatever he was thinking...
So he got out of the BS busywork by avoiding and delegating. The lesson? be so good they can’t tell you to get fucked.
> "sensitive intellectual property" (frantically cobbled dog shit) portfolios

That phrase always makes me think of crazy person that thinks you're coveting his shopping cart full of precious things. Or maybe as my dad alluded to, classified information usually means stuff that makes us look like lame and petty buffoons.
Can you list three? I can’t think of one, everywhere I know of that’s opt out.
Yes the classic dance of “zoom in slightly further, but this time without arbitrarily removing 3/4’s of my search results that I know exist here, and showing me other random locations”

Or “good lord just show me the street name please”
Works fine for me on two laptops, one that sounds similar to yours, and one that's just a Dell with Intel graphics. Both run Linux.

Maybe it's your OS or browser?
While there's some truth here, medical diagnosis and treatment can be really hard.

People have weird habits, weird diets, are exposed to weird chemicals in small amounts over extended periods of time, etc. There are all kinds of genetic factors where something can be really minor for most people and debilitating for others. There are all kinds or problems or diseases that people can have, and there can be weird combinations that interact or provide an overall confusing array of symptoms. And it's all mixed up with the patient's brain, which may be exacerbating or compensating in all kinds of ways (psychologically or through behaviors that the patient develops).
Hoping this is what they’ll use to train future models and deprecate the older ones before the legal cases proceed any further.
Moderation, something should really be done to change this culture of these #&%! who pass by and anti-communicate by unclear gestures. It is radically uncivilized, and cannot be encouraged.
I don't think this is "free" in the software sense.
In my tests LLaMa2-13B is useable for information extraction tasks and LLaMA2-70B is almost as good as GPT-4 (for IE). These models are the real thing. We can fine-tune LLaMAs, unlike OpenAI's models. Now we can have privacy, control and lower prices. We can introduce guidance, KV caching and other tricks to improve the models.

The enthusiasm around it reminds me of JavaScript framework wars of 10 years ago - tons of people innovating and debating approaches, lots of projects popping up, so much energy!
That's not really true though is it. I use it countless times a week to navigate from my current location to point x l, generally a postal code or POI.

At no point during this do I have to interact with alternative businesses or way points.
I mean I want to get it, I’m open to another perspective.

When my gut instinct says “people 30 years older than me acting like children specifically because they found someone to validate their yelling at clouds” and thats…. exactly what it is? and the only reason I see that word only here?

I feel like thats out of character for hackernews, unsubstantive except for being relatable to the moderation here as well
That must become illegal at some point. I spin up a branch, take a billion in off the plan appartments deposits then declare that branch bankrupt while my agency branch rakes it in.
I'm thrilled to see the direction we'll take with this. We initially started with just a few features, primarily because we're eager to understand what you want from a service like this and then refine it based on your needs. Don't hesitate to ask questions or make suggestions.
> because piano keys are sized just right

Fuck this very idea from the bottom of my heart. I'm a grown-ass man, fully functional in all aspects of life, who can't reach an octave comfortably, just like most female players and a lot of Asian males. The piano keyboard is objectively too big for most players in the world, period.
So the least safe your car is, the more you pay. I'll take my crash safety in my volvo station wagon 'little tank' over an 'efficient tin can' any day. I can also haul a trailer which you can't do in light weight cars.

Can you share your knowledge with millions at once?

If so, then pay.
To be precise this should be called one meeting day work week.
For many knowledge workers this should be the default too - 4 days of deep work and 1 day agreeing on the scope of the work etc
Sure sometimes you may need feedback in the middle but it can wait or maybe the person you are interrupting is a project manager etc
> I believe in modern medicine.

It's completely reasonable to believe in modern medicine, but also to remember that humans are imperfect and have all sorts of biases and limitations when practicing modern medicine. Add on top of that how most health care systems make things much more difficult than they need to be, for both the doctor and the patient.
Forgive me for being pedantic but this is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

HIPAA is the correct abbreviation of the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act which as an aside doesn't necessarily preclude someone from training on patient data.

HIPPA is the unnecessarily capitalized spelling of a (quite adorable) crustacean found in the Indo-Pacific and consumed in an Indonesian delicacy known as yutuk.

Ah, from the title I expected this to be something that can search/consume the web in real time when you pose a query to the GPT* models.
> Even where I am now, i know there's brothels and presumably private sex workers and if i want a massage I go and I book a massage.

I don’t think many people would be able to mix up these places after seeing them. If you only wanted a massage for health reasons you would almost certainly not consider going there.
Let's go into why P is on the wrong side of the board in Workman (and in QWERTY, too). It is true that P is a vowel-hugging consonant. A distance analyzer that the creator of Workman used to look at travel distance would of course conclude that it should be one with the vowels.

But look how often P shows up as a double letter, which stops you from rolling the keys because of the double-strike: opposition oppression stopping appendage application applying appreciate --- there's a lot.

So in Workman the word PEOPLE is a painful SFB-fiesta, and that is a Top 200
word in English, and it does not feel good at all! That's because P needs to be opposite of the vowel cluster, not just because of PEOPLE, but because you need to use one hand to take care of the double-letter strike while the other hand is setting up the vowel cluster roll that is coming.
