Show HN: A daily market trends Real Estate newsletter with 8k subs 8 weeks
As part of my role in a real estate private equity fund, I have to put in hours everyday keeping up with the market trends like rates, sales volumes, vacancy rates, inventory, days on market and many other indicators. So I created this newsletter where I curate from more than 100 sources like CBRE, Milchaps, John Burns etc. Please sign up if you see value.

>In 1996, the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, adopted exposure guidelines that limited the intensity of exposure to radiofrequency radiation. These guidelines were designed to prevent significant heating of tissue from short-term exposure to radiofrequency radiation, not to protect us from the effects of long-term exposure to low levels of modulated, or pulsed, radiofrequency radiation, which is produced by cellphones, cordless phones and other wireless devices, including Wi-Fi.

>Yet, the preponderance of research published since 1990 finds adverse biologic and health effects from long-term exposure to radiofrequency radiation, including DNA damage.

>More than 250 scientists, who have published over 2,000 papers and letters in professional journals on the biologic and health effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields produced by wireless devices, including cellphones, have signed the International EMF Scientist Appeal, which calls for health warnings and stronger exposure limits. So, there are many scientists who agree that this radiation is harmful to our health.

I’ve seen both AirDrop and LAN over WiFi reach a steady state at around 55-60 MB/s in ideal conditions, which is remarkably similar to USB 2.0. That speed is only reached when the devices are stationary and close to each other though, any movement causes a temporary drop since wave compression or interference presumably results in signal degradation and some sort of checksumming to occur.
Also I can’t recall the specifics but AirDrop only uses Bluetooth to negotiate the connection. The underlying transmission uses peer-to-peer WiFi, so it’s no surprise their speeds are similar to each other.

Incidentally, I’m sure there’s a myriad of practical reasons why it would have been too early for Apple to go entirely portless, but funnily enough as it turns out, a decrease in transfer speed compared to USB 2.0 over Lightning wouldn’t have been one of them.
Personal vendetta? That's not what I'm reading from his comment. I appreciate that he's sharing details about the behavior of the developers around a piece of software that by its very nature is the foundation of its user's products.

Given the issues w/ Unity, I think this information is pertinent and welcome.
USB 2.0 speeds over USB-C are common on low to midrange android phones as well.

It could be like a summary of what follows. Oh, and what about like a SUPER short summary above that, like just one sentence about what its about, call it like a, "leader" or "header" or something like that?

That's because in the Netherlands most banks used Maestro (owned by Mastercard) and Vpay (owned by Visa) as international debit circuit.
The acceptance for Maestro and Vpay online is much lower than "normal" Mastercard Debit and Visa Debit. Acceptance for Mastercard Debit and Visa Debit is practically the same online as Mastercard Credit and Visa Credit.

Maestro is being sunset by Mastercard and no new card can be issued. Only Mastercard Debit. So the problem with the fact that Dutch debit cards (Maestro) are not accepted online will be solved in a couple of years.
Textweaver: AI Search for All Your Files (Open Source)
Textweaver is a FastAPI server that lets you upload a wide variety of file types and perform semantic search over them.

Textweaver currently has processing methods for PDF, MP3, MP4, TXT, JPG, PNG, and TIFF files. It uses Pinecone as the search DB and allows for the use of any sentence transformer model from the MTEB Leaderboard (https://huggingface.co/spaces/mteb/leaderboard). Textweaver supports authenticated access using Amazon Cognito. Textweaver uses AWS Textract (OCR) and Whisper-AI (MP3/MP4) for audio and video to text.

"Nothing really to see here or complain about."
For a device that starts at $799 and only has 128GB of storage, there is plenty to complain about.
That's for shooting in ProRes, which only the Pro models do.

Completely coincidentally they also support 10Gb USB.
What you need to know about AWS VPC Peering

I'm not one to say any system is ever perfect. But what are they trying to fix? The slack UI is overall pretty decent, and this looks like an iterative step back, judging from the comments about multiple workspaces.
Exactly, and this kind of selective ignorance actually costs everybody dearly in the long run. Because we just cannot please everybody.
If some hacker gets a clearly infectious Pegasus link they should make it spread through messages to everyone. Bricking everyone’s iPhone will probably make all the governments and Apple sit up and do some real damage to these actors.
Yeah, the "rock drums" example was like a student in a practice. I'll be impressed when it can sound like Danny Carey.

From all of the hype, I want to be impressed with results. Instead, we get these mediocre at best examples of what it can do. They are not good sales pitches to me.
Start menu search is unfortunate broken in Windows 11 (even more so than in W10). It needs to do a Web search before returning results, which makes it too slow to be reliably useful in my opinion.

It's easily solved by installing Power Toys and using the search feature from there instead (activated with alt + space, like in Linux & Mac)
I've always seen the human encoding as the main point, so you can infer things about them while working with them. A database, for example, would have a datetime column that can be used instead most of the time.

> The company that released a computer with only a single usb-c port wasn't moving towards usb-c all along?

Definitely not in phones, because Apple is the laggard in this case. Many Android phones were already USB.

Also, there was that whole thing where the EU wanted to cut own on e-waste and mandate USB-C as a common charging standard, and Apple fought it tooth and nail.
No I was pointing out that simply because something is beneficial for some people doesn't mean we should want it to exist, which is what I read your comment as saying. Please don't tell me what I am thinking.

I appreciate that at an individual level it's reasonable to "close the tab" on a whole space when you're fed up with it, that's your prerogative.

But in terms of trashing the work of everyone who has worked on a blockchain in a public forum: `git` is a blockchain by any reasonable "degenerate Merkle tree" definition. Barbara Liskov who is the first female Turing winner (and would have gotten her Turing a lot sooner if it weren't for sexism) has been running a research group at MIT on PBFT for like 10 years. IO-HK has more Turning/Able/Fields-type folks than fucking Google per capita and might be pushing RenTech per-capita.

In 1995 the Internet had like three massive use cases: Usenet, penis pill spam, and porn, and by egress, mostly porn. Nothing wrong with porn, but but nothing wrong with some idiots trading Pokemon cards of monkeys for too much money either if this is a free country.

Tulip-scam Level 1 blockchains with a clear incentive for the treasury holders to make transactions expensive because they want to pump the fuck out of some stupid token and skip town before the bill comes due? Yeah, I think we're over that now.

But take it up with Linus and all the fucking Turing winners if you think the tech never has and never will have any legitimate application.
I thought “Prompt: 116 BPM rock drums loop clean production” wasn't bad, but I'll grant that most of the rest would be an excellent way of showing (for instance) a death metal fan what their favoured music sounds like to those who don't have an ear for it :D
Bitty Engine: An itty bitty game engine
> old phone

Announced yesterday

Checks out!
Totally agree. For all the complaints about "omg they're using a 23 year old spec", the article appears to say that this is the same speed limit as the lightning controller (the one sold in their 14Pro model) that no one seemed to have an issue with data transfer speeds.

And the other commenter that pointed out "who exactly uses USB for data transfer anyway?" is spot on. I'm not even an iPhone user and about the only time I do data transfer by USB is when I'm moving stuff to a new phone.

Point being, 99.9% of people who buy an iPhone are never going to notice the speed differential. I feel like all the people complaining are either people in that .1%, or people who just like to complain.

I also make local backups from time to time. It hasn't been an issue for me. It takes less time for the backup to complete than the charge.

As big as the Cave of Caerbannog?
I have a family member who did something similar - perfect credit and defaulted on purpose. On a rental property, he was underwater on the mortgage at the time of the 2008 crash, so he simply stopped paying and let the bank foreclose and came out ahead that way. Trashed his credit rating but he never had any need for it, he had enough to buy his own house and car outright.
This is probably more ancient documentation for switchers from Apache.

The main reason for this is to make sure your htaccess file is outside of the document root. This is horrible behavior Apache had (still has?), and is a security issue.
The similarities between both devices are probably the reason Apple stopped officially selling the 14 Pro.
Low to midrange android phones are not £800.
That phones are "done" has come to be my belief as well. And I think that's a good thing. We'll have small improvements in performance and battery life and cameras - and that's all that I expect at this point. That could change if new sensors are added - artificial nose? spectrometer?

Where new innovation will occur is with watches and VR headsets.
> If any other company said, "Here's a brand new 2023 $800 device with USB 2.0..." there would be blood in the social media streets.

I would bet against this, because I would bet 99% of people will never use a wire to transfer data from the phone.

The 1% who care will spend an extra $200 on a Pro model.

This is price segmentation / microeconomics 101, you can earn more money by asking for more money from people who want to pay more, and asking less money from people who want to pay less.

Yes, the residence matters - in USA (and some other countries, I think at least UK as well) there are major legal differences between debit cards and credit cards with respect what the consumer rights and practical protections are for them, and in other countries (like in EU payment laws) debit card payments get all the same or almost the protections as credit card payments.

> Fine. At the time when it ran that time it was the fastest,

See here:

https://www.hotcars.com/fastest-sedans-around-the-nurburgrin...

And join with the list here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_N%C3%BCrburgring_Nords...

All five sedans that beat the Model S around the Nürburgring drove their laps earlier. The Plaid has only ever been the sixth fastest sedan around the 'ring. Which is excellent, but not what you said.

>and faster than practically every sports car ever made.

It isn't. It loses even to the 2012 Nissan GT-R or 2007 911 GT2. It loses to any of the faster 911s by nearly a minute. It is faster than some sports cars, but not recent sports cars at a similar price.

How is it that the Plaid, despite being one of the fastest cars on the road in a straight line, loses quite badly to cars with half the power? Because there is much more to performance than just acceleration. The cars you disparage are dramatically better in the corners than the Plaid.

>The nurburgring is about the most sports car track ever made.

I don't quite know what this means, but I don't think it's true. The use of the 'ring as a benchmark is often criticized because it rewards power over handling. A track that specifically tests handling would be slower and twistier. This is not sour grapes; people have been saying this for decades.
I am a little bit confused whether I need fine-tuning or RAG for my use case?
My use case is this: I have some private data (say 1000 word documents), I want a QA capability on those 1000 documents. What is the best approach? Any help is appreciated.
> Count me in as someone who likes vintage hardware but modern displays

I should also add that, if you change the graphics card in an old PC, you're inserting a huge variable when it comes to playing a game on "vintage hardware."

Some games resorted to various tricks, whatever, that might not be emulated correctly on the new graphics card.

Again, that's why I find the idea of a "modern" CGA silly: When you use it, you no longer have vintage hardware, and the CGA connector is digital so there's no need to worry about a loss in quality.
Apparently they have an additional external controller. The "base" iPad only has USB2 speeds after switching to USB-C. Apparently the 6th gen mini also only has USB2 when in device mode (it has 5Gb in host mode).
you can choose any directory you want and while FHS is a recommendation there's no one forcing you to use it.

Note that more often than not I'll often argue for sticking with FHS and it's a good rule of thumb to know the rules first before you go breaking them. However in my opinion /srv isn't a pragmatic choice to make in a demonstration and it's for the sake of clarity I can see why the writer would just say /websites. In your own implementation you can put your content wherever you want.
Superorganism wants to be the conservationist on the cap table
To be fair, Windows applications can be designed to be installable this way: a single executable, with everything it needs sitting next to it in the folder. Even better, a single executable with no other dependent files at all! Lots of little utilities used to be distributed this way. But many developers deliberately choose to structure their monster such that it needs to spread its tentacles all over the filesystem for it to work.

And for legacy/backward compatibility reasons, once MS allowed this behavior to go unchecked, there was no way to put the genie back in the bottle and stop it, without giving up backward compatibility. It didn't help that Microsoft software tended to be the "tentacle" kind as well.
I think you're being too harsh.

The main item on the landing page says "free to use" and "source available", while that "big fat nav item", that doesn't show up on mobile without clicking on the navigation, clearly states:

> Defold is a source available game engine with a developer-friendly license derived from the popular Apache 2.0 License.

And under "Open source":

> A large selection of official and community developed open source extensions are available through the Asset Portal.

I think this is clear enough, and doesn't seem like they're abusing the open source terminology. Whether you agree or not with their license is another topic, but their copy seems clear to me (an OSS enthusiast and first-time visitor on their site).

That said, the title of this HN post is misleading, and definitely needs to be updated to reflect this.
Been waiting for this for a long time!

Also, insane, more than a PR a day every day on average...supposedly more than 3.5 commits a day for the whole year, each improving performance. Did not realize there were this many contributions.
Any task in 2023 that requires paying a human in an expensive western country, despite all of the rules and regulations and legal liability and on and on, means someone tried to automate it already and failed. For whatever reason - the ambiguity, the physical dexterity, maybe it’s even union or government rules - it cannot be automated easily.

So in comes LLMs. The developer thinks, “I know, I will just take all the input coming into the screen and put it in a magic LLM box and get the right answer!” Like so many AI startups before them, the failure is written before they even started.
This is a level of corporate sycophancy that must be reviled in polite society for us to move forward.
> only has 128GB of storage

Am I the only one who feels that 128GB is a huge amount of storage for a phone? Or is it because I still remember when even desktop computers had storage sizes best measured in megabytes?
Alternatives to Box Plots
It's not really that dissimilar. People like to act that Windows is so complicated and convoluted when in time the Linux desktop has invented all the same concepts.

registry -> dconf
com registration -> dbus objects
gac -> shared libs
file associations -> dconf settings
windows scheduler entries -> systemd user session
And thus give them more encouragement them to shake down the next person, as well as you again the next time they see you on the street.
I don’t want to be super angry. That sounds awful. Am I really supposed to be?

Can someone make a case that a large group of mainstream iPhone users are plugging in their phones and need better charging speeds? More than 480mbps? And if that were true, where was the upheaval during the Lightning port area? I look around and I just don’t see this group of people, but maybe I’m missing something.
Have you looked at NestedText?
Will this affect the web UI?

I have been a holdout on the desktop app and just have two different workspaces opened in two different tabs in a dedicated Firefox profile. As far as I can remember, some minor UI changes may have appeared in one workspace days or weeks ahead of the other.

Frankly, I wasn't barely aware that there was a multi-workspace Slack UI... I've seen the add/switch workspace menu but never used it.
There's pros and cons both ways, it's an implementation decision.

Under Linux, I have occasionally had the challenge of figuring out what process is holding open a large file that has been 'deleted'. This starts with recognizing that you're getting disparate values from different tools you might use to look at disk utilization. It's confusing as hell the first time you run into it without some established context as to why that might happen.

On deletion of a file that is open by another process, Linux does not warn me about that. Windows will give me a clear error message that the file is open by another process. Linux chooses to let the problem sit because it might just take care of itself once the process ends, but that decision kinda sucks when your disk is full and you're scrambling to get some space back. Windows forces me to deal with the conflict right now. That adds work in some cases while avoiding the confusion and risk factors of multiple perspectives about a volume's utilization.

It's not "Widnows (sic) doesn't get it". Windows made different choices. As another comment expressed, Windows has all it needs to do this at the FS layer, but chooses to use OS locks on top of that.
I don’t even know why you would use a cable aside from charging. Seems like more apple-bad click bait to me
> b) Would that get around Nintendo Switch NAT issues?

Depends on the game. Animal Crossing is particularly bad in that regard - say you have two kids and they want to be able to play with one remote friend each as the host, it's impossible: it will not work without the hosting Switch being completely exposed to the Internet, and there can only be one "catch all" device configured on your router at the same time.

I get that Nintendo doesn't wish to run a STUN/TURN setup but JFC, that's penny pinching on the wrong end.
But that does NOT include WinForms.
They are free to run their business and we are free to point out how they distort meaning of "open source". They can easily call it "source available" and no one will bother them.

There is actually open source game engine called Godot that licensed under standard MIT License. We should not let companies like Defold Foundation to mislead anyone to think their software product license is equal in terms of freedoms provided to community.
Many Hacker News readers care (:
AFAIK, phone numbers are the entry point, it’s the easiest and quickest way to target someone with it, else, it will be more involved to isolate the target, so don’t activate any number on your phone in addition to the lockdown mode, plus the usual security precautions should be in theory enough to protect you, ultimately, don’t use a “smart” phone.
Thanks, so I think we both agree that some advertisements are fine, which is the point I've been trying to make. How do we make all advertisements "fine".

Direct payment would never have worked for my personal site, I could not pay and certainly my dozen readers weren't going to. But that site made my career. Ads allowed that.

As for what advertisers need to continue funding that, while not being awful, I think that is the interesting question.
Thx for reporting. We'll fix ASAP
Actual Bluetooth is slow, 1.5Mbit or so, depending on the implementation. You wouldn't transfer large amounts of data that way. Maybe a photo, or smallish files. But, as the other poster noted, Airdrop uses Wi-Fi direct now so it's at wifi speeds.

Modern Wi-Fi 6 (what is in the new iPhones, even in the older iPhones) is theoretically much faster. Gigabit+ speeds. In practice, you can expect similar or faster speeds vs. USB2 over Wi-Fi. If it's ad-hoc from iPhone to iPhone, it should be much closer to theoretical max since they will be in close proximity.
This is why I'll never hire a "full-stack developer".
I really hate BP and wish we get something better. The thing is, technically you are supposed to do gameplay in BP and push the core ones to C++, but BP is so messy after a short while.
I guess it's a bit odd, but how many people are actually using their cable to transfer files? I cant remember that last time I did anything like that. And I would wager 95% of people only ever use their cable for charging, not file transfers.
