I have a couple of these things. Battery life is pretty crappy. The stock code barely worked and had about 12 hours of battery life (if you didn't do anything with it.) I mean... give credit where credit is due though... it's an amazing buy if you're hip to debugging other people's code. I eventually filled in some of the bits that weren't finished and eventually figured out settings so it's not completely sucking down power, so it would last about 6 hours with "moderate" use.

I would be surprised if the current code isn't MUCH better, but it's power budget is going to be much closer to an Apple or Samsung smart-watch and not an 80s era ultra-low-power m851.

If you're hip to experimentation (like I am) it's a fun little project and worth the money. If you're looking for something to compete with an iWatch, you're going to be disappointed.
I'm not a fan of the htmx take, but it's refreshing to at least hear about other methods than "yet another react/angular/etc".
Both the GitHub project you linked to and the webpage in the posted article use a bounding box; has the webpage changed in the last two hours?
I tested League of Legends during its closed beta in a bar like this. It was a blast when bands played. It was cool playing after hours with employees from the block too.
I used to think this sentiment is overblown, but then I tried to develop a Mac and iOS app. Although I live in Canada, it took almost 3 weeks to become an Apple developer, having to supply every piece of ID in my possession and having many declined. They’re British Columbian identification in perfectly fine condition.

The development process could have been much worse, but some aspects of swift development in XCode were frustratingly rough with a range of extremely well document to barely documented APIs.

Can I do X with SwiftUI? Who knows. Does it support Y pattern well? Absolutely, and here are a dozen examples. Such a pain in the ass.

I also have no idea when my app will be approved. It just generates air quality forecasts from multiple sources, provides alerts, shows active wildfire perimeters, and doesn’t allow any access to anything else. Just uses location, optionally. It’s been weeks now.

Overall I’d rather not develop for apple’s devices again, but mostly because so little is in my control. The rest was fine. I strongly dislike having so little agency around being accepted into the platform and then publishing on it. Not having a say over my tool chain is also pretty frustrating when theirs is so buggy, slow, and unintuitive.
>in principle you could have a mix of different sized sectors on the same track, like CKD permits; in practice, I've never heard of anyone doing that, I question whether the floppy disk controller could cope with it

That was actually done by IBM to distribute some versions of OS/2 2.x (or was it a later one?). It was called XDF and was originally invented by a company making backup-to-floppy software. And of course it needed a special driver to access: IIRC the one built into OS/2 was also read-only, and the first few installation floppies were in standard format so that you could boot from them.

The PC floppy controller itself has no problem reading or writing different-sized sectors, provided you didn't try to do multiple ones in a single command.

But creating the low-level format with PC hardware required a crazy hack: fill the track with 128-byte sectors without any gap between, but setting up the "C,H,R,N" header fields for larger sectors with the correct spacing. The remaining dummy sectors would then become part of the larger sectors' data and gap field, so their headers didn't matter (and would be overwritten when writing the actual data).

I definitely care more about growing what is possible, and specifically what can be written correctly than about the - perhaps more sensible - goal of making possible things easier. So that's a place where my priorities aren't Rust's priorities. My preferences absolutely can lead to the Turing Tarpit.

What's capitalistic about bowing to the social censorship required? Sure as hell ain't making their product more profitable for the user market. Seems like the market isn't the end users but government monopolies which isn't capitalistic at all.

Yah, blogs are already a rounding error in the corpus, and that has nothing to do with llms. Those of us who are still blogging are already doing it in spite of ~waves hand broadly at the world~.

I'm not truly sure that llms mean less eyeballs, though. They produce mediocre content in an arena where high quality content matters. There's already a massive pile of crap on the internet; it's already all about surfacing the relevant and the interesting bits.
Comparing to Rails/Ruby is not really fair because Ruby’s popularity exploded due to Rails, especially in web context. As such both the primitive and the framework are closely tied (in web dev context).

Whereas JavaScript is a primitive, and frameworks have gone and come based on the needs of the time.

Depending on your web stack, you probably have a very different view of JavaScript. And actually I’d rather view it as that; JavaScript in the context of a web stack is just an extension of the serving framework.

If you say the backend is just a simple REST API, then you fall into the SSR or not camp.
If you’re not in SSR, I guess it doesn’t matter. But these days, things aren’t trending towards SSR.

So your question actually boils down to, which set of JavaScript libraries will be maintained for a given stack. So the answer is: the most popular JS framework for any established full stack web framework.

If not SSR though, I’d say react. Because it’s cheap and ubiquitous.
> refuge for Christian sects ...

Something like 25% of European settlers were fleeing religious persecution. The vast majority were economic migrants.

Religious migrants: 20,000 (Massachusetts Bay) + 3,000 (Plymouth) + 10,000 (half of Maryland) + a few thousand (Rhode Island) + a few thousand (Quakers) = around 38,000

Economic migrants: 14,000 (Jamestown) + 10,000 (half of Maryland) + tens of thousands (Scotch-Irish) + tens of thousands (Germans) + a few thousand (Dutch and Swedish colonies) + a few thousand (French and Spanish colonies) = around 90,000 at least

It's a pretty sick myth that the country was founded to protect "religious freedom" when many of the Christian refugees were themselves vicious persecutors of anyone who didn't believe exactly what they believed.
The article did mention they had a WeChat clone from her phone, could it have been a group chat from them? (I don't know if WeChat even has that option.)
Posts like these tend to disappoint me. Seems like the author is really excited about it and wants me to have some kind of revelation about how simple Svelte is, but the first example with the "$:" raised so many questions... What is that $? It's a label? How does it know that the variable changed value? Can I have more than one $ if I import another file that uses it?

It also gave me a bunch of tiny snippets as examples, but that's never representative of a real codebase. How do you reuse these components? How do you deal with component lifecycle?

It peaks my interest, but kills it with a bunch of magic and unanswered questions.
That is shockingly approachable for a large fraction of English literature.
If I read your title, I’d assume they specifically requested that end solution. Here, all they knew they wanted technically was NodeJS, not where to get the data.
I'm a fan of this guy too. I have quite a few Italian recipes under my sleeve now.
As with George R.R. Martin, who is a kind of ecdysiast that I had mistaken for a hetaera. He seduced and aroused me and then failed to deliver what I thought I had bargained for, but had in fact not. Like the ecdysiast, he owes me nothing I had not been promised, despite my expectations.

But while my entitlement to the future work of Mr. Martin is zero, I still feel somewhat jilted.

How to use a Balearic sling [video]
I personally have no issue with having to log-in to use the hosted Jitsi and have it store that I created a room. That's a small price to pay for the longevity of the service.

If logging in is an issue, you're still able to selfhost Jitsi just fine.

Edit: this article feels like blogspam to me. https://jitsi.org/blog/authentication-on-meet-jit-si/ is the source the article refers to.
Kenji Lopez Alt really helped me learn how to cook. Much like software, when you read a cook book, there's normally all sorts of background knowledge required to understand how to make that recipe. Watching him do it conveys way more info than the written recipe. eg here's what that chop should look like, here's what the veggies should look like, here's how tolerant / not tolerant various pieces of the recipe are to changes, etc.

If you think you'd like to cook, you should watch 20 or 30 videos from his channel.

I can buy Bewitched on amazon, streaming or dvds, but that would involve me spending a tiny amount on it (less than £1/hour)

I'm not sure that comparing having to pay a nominal amount for something that's trivially available with harbouring escaped slaves is the slam dunk you think it is, or why another company should profit from your reluctance to pay the creators.

> This matters because consumers are the ones that vote.

Show me evidence that this matters in the slightest.

The policy preferences of 90% of Americans are irrelevant, i.e have no correlation with implemented policy.[1][2]

Sure. Let's say that every green-eyed person gets to vote on what everyone has to eat: a pear or an apple. To the naive onlooker it looks like the green-eyed people have the ultimate power. But they neglect to notice that the two choices are filtered down from thousands of options by the brown-eyed people.

> PS: This is not my position-- I believe that drastic action is very urgently required, but I don't think it is some "corporate interests" or "lobbyism conspiracy" that prevents it-- simply democracy in action.

Of course. It's just a coincidence that implemented policy tracks better with “corporate interests”—dismissive quotation marks or not—than with the policy preferences of citizens.

Incredibly interesting, almost reminds me of a black mirror episode. I can’t imagine apple and google will keep the app on their stores after press like this though - there is no way finding a war (regardless of what side your on) is something they like.

But raises the question - if you make money on a platform, can you be deplatformed for what you do with the money rather than the content on the platform? If I make money from a clean farming game, but use it fund something bad, should the farming game be removed from the App Store?
We all do if we all agree that we do.
Splitting the arrow keys across each hand is a form of mental abuse I wouldn't wish on anyone.
what went unsaid but very heavily implied in the Jitsi announcement was that it was (allegedly) CSAM and not mere spam.
Thanks.

I've been hanging out in some meditation forums for the past few years. It seems to me that there's a clear "story-driven" dark pattern that goes like this:

A person ...

* has a distressing meditative experience, e.g., "I saw an angry face."
* creates a story about the experience, e.g., "I saw an angry face because of childhood trauma."

Then that loops. "angry face" makes "trauma" more salient => makes "angry face" more salient.
> will only provide "broken clock" predictions

I think it's a bit more than a random prediction, it's more like a heuristic.

Imagine the tree of all possibilities and all subsequent possibilities below those etc. It's just too vast to explore. The ideologue is not random a path through the tree but biased in a very human way with pessimistic assumptions about human motivations and behaviour that are sometimes true. A heuristic can be valuable without achieving more truth than fiction, just better than random.

> ideologically motivated reasoning would be "The US is about to collapse because Biden/Trump is president"

What I have in mind is the ideological forecaster would start with a set of assumptions and try to justify them against the odds e.g. they assume "Biden/Trump is a monster", they adopt the specific mindset of this monster and interpret the known events, which seem entirely innocuous on the surface, as contributing to a larger nefarious strategy and work through a chain of consequences to arrive at a compelling theory that hangs together. It's like exploring many moves ahead in chess without an evidence based goal function justifying continuing down a specific path.

A reasonable individual might not presume others are monsters or pursue a line of reasoning so unjustified for so long. The heuristic works because sadly "X is a monster" and "innocuous actions are actually part of a nefarious plan" is sometimes true.

I'm essentially defending conspiratorial thinking as a good thing in an adversarial situation so long as it's integrated sanely and not allowed to rule the day alone. If you don't have ideologues of different flavours in your intelligence unit, you might need to create them.
I keep buying cheap mechanical (wind up) watches and Swatches off eBay. My current Swatch has been telling time consistently for about a year on the same battery. The problem with cheap mechanical watches is you can over-wind them if you're not careful. I keep killing them every couple of years. But hey, they're cheap.

The cool thing about both these watches is you don't have to recharge them every day (though you do have to wind up the wind-up watch.)
Hadn't heard of this one, and checked it out just now. Seems interesting. Thanks for sharing!
The standard measure would be number of employees, wouldn't it?

50 beef cattle is hobby farm size. It wouldn't provide enough revenue to support a family. We needed grains, oilseeds, pigs and chickens in addition to the 50 beef cattle to support ours.

11,000 acres in Saskatchewan (and presumably Australia) is family farm size. It will have 0 or 1 employees.
So his contribution consisted of putting Bibliotik into plaintext format? Or is there more to it?
Interesting. When it's copyrighted works in a digital form (plain text, ePub, whatever) it's a legal issue.

ROT13 the text is the data still a copyright violation? I imagine so since it's a trivial thing to restore it to a legally volatile form.

I understand that an unresolved issue is whether, once ingested into an LLM, the trained LLM is in violation of copyright. One wonders if human readers too are in violation of copyright for having been "trained" as well when they read a book.

Is a "brain transplant" from one LLM to another a thing? Perhaps just a trivial copy of the node weights or whatever they're called. That would would not let the target LLM off the hook with regard to copyright violation I expect.

But what if one LLM "taught" another. Maybe that is not a thing yet.
This can't help but leak into peoples' personal lives. People who have to put up with this develop intense resentments of family members who don't.

It also has to infect politics. The desperate struggle to enter a protected class is clearly motivated by this management fuckery. People are trying frantically to protect themselves.

I read an article in The New Yorker, years ago, that casually mentioned in passing that executives would do quarterly or annual performance reviews of their wives. Can you imagine?
I was referring to the albedo of two different colors. Specifically absorbance of the electromagnetic spectrum being the opposite of what was stated by the GP. I'm not sure why you felt the need to bring up completely unrelated factors. Yes, I understand that one factor could easily be countered by others. That wasn't the point.
The article talks about 7 nm technology. I thought the current races were at smaller sizes, i.e., in 5, 3 and even 2 nm tech?

IBM revealed a 2 nm chip two years ago:

Producing a single chip is far from mass production but two years! And here we're yakking about 7-nm tech?
Yes and yes. I'm not a native English speaker, though.

bloop (YC S21) | Rust Engineer | Onsite | London, UK

Ever wanted to work on Open Source AI devtools? If so, we should speak! My cofounder Gabe and I started training language models for code search in 2021, and like the rest of the world we've been amazed at the progress in the space over the last few years. YC and tier 1 VCs backed us to build the ultimate AI assistant that can answer questions about large codebases, and we're looking for a product focussed engineer to join our close knit team.

About you: you hack around with GPT on the weekend, maybe you even fine-tune some of these new open source models. But you're also a solid programmer, capable of not just prototyping a nice demo but also shipping performant code that can scale. You're probably quite good at what you do, maybe you were top of your class, or maybe you rose the ranks to your comfortable senior role, but yearn for the days of writing code, redbull and deploying on a Friday.

We're a small team, looking for one individual to join us in London, in-person at least 3 days per week.

Please reach out to me at join [at] bloop [dot] ai with "HN Rust Engineer" in the subject line and a note about why this is exciting and a link to your portfolio or linkedin/resume.

P.S. Our stack is Rust, so it's likely the role will go to a candidate with Rust experience but if you think you have something to offer that compensates for lack of Rust we should chat anyway!
I mean, that's true of just about every non-trivial framework ever
I absolutely loved all of my school's trips to industrial sites.

We went to:

- A Coke bottling facility (when the bottles were still mostly returnable glass ones), it was mesmerising.

- A chocolate and confectionery factory (as you may have guessed, kids were ecstatic about this one).

- A recycling plant processing paper and plastics.

- A nuclear power plant.

All of those between the ages of 10-13 as well, mentioning it now made me realise how vivid those memories are, thanks for helping me to remember them :)
This other commenters are just being pedantic and have nothing to add. What you meant was perfectly valid English and there’s no need to explain you meant European languages when discussing European languages.

However I do not believe your comment about the “vast majority” of languages is accurate. I indo-European languages make up about half of all languages on the planet (3.2 billion) and no other language family comes close.
Sony was really smart to include movie playback in their consoles, it's a really good value proposition. I bought my PS2 to play DVDs and play games. I eventually upgraded to the PS3 to upgrade to Blu-Ray and still use it today. I recall reading/hearing somewhere that the PS3 was one of the best quality Blu-Ray players at the time. I would assume the PS5 would still be a good pick for 4K Blu-Ray.
There's quite a lot of similarity with how hard disks have dramatically increased their aerial bit density in that improvements in bit encoding and decoding techniques and DSP technology play quite a big part - actually LTO is behind hard disks on areal bit density as tapes have a different set of trade-offs as a removable media and archival format.
I’m not in Germany but as it’s in the EU I would contact a German employment lawyer.

Write a short summary of the events, detailing what they should have paid you, when they should pay it, what they did pay you, when they paid it, and how much they still owe you. Also include a copy of your contract.

Use bullet points and make it as easy to read as possible. Imagine you’re asking a stack overflow question.

Probably the lawyer will give you a free initial consultation where they tell you the next free steps.

Maybe the lawyer will charge you a few hundred euros to send a letter before action.

If the company doesn’t pay, and is still solvent then the lawyer might recommend taking them to court as the company will have to pay the lawyers fees if you win the case.

It’s likely your case is open and shut and it’ll never go anywhere near court.
I went to visit a post office sorting center with my team at Google in Switzerland once. And honestly even as a grown up, it was a great experience, especially since the thing the sorting center was doing was sort of analogous to what some of our (software) pipelines do. Gave me a new appreciation of how powerful and fungible software is. I believe these tours are also offered to school classes.
I'm legitimately curious, if food supply is disrupted, how do you plan to stop starving people from stealing that food while you are asleep? Armed guards doing shifts along the walls? If you've got enough food production that's probably a legit option, as long as they are loyal. Also how about water supply for the crops?
Interesting, Svelte and Solid seem to be the only two new compiler-based js frameworks. Everything else is virtual-DOM based.

Solid is newer than Svelte with less of an ecosystem, so it’s interesting to hear that you found it more manageable. What made it more manageable?
