They are better for taking photographs simply because they're smaller, but for every other aspect of photo viewing, management, and editing, they are worse. They have a tiny screen, insufficient local storage and compute, and no keyboard or mouse.

They're not better music players. Sound quality can be identical because phones support USB DACs, but again, everything else is worse. On a real computer I can easily search my library just by typing. There's no way to find specific tracks that fast on mobile.
>At some point, the efficiency of new hardware completely outweighs the benefits of keeping old hardware running.

Agreed. That's why the best solution is to run old software on new hardware.

Vernor Vinge figured this out 25 years ago. A Deepness in the Sky depicts a human society thousands of years in the future, in which pretty much all software has already been written; it's just a matter of finding it. So programmer-archaeologists search archives and run code on emulators in emulators in emulators as far back as needed. <https://garethrees.org/2013/06/12/archaeology/>

(This week I migrated a VM to its third hypervisor. It has been a VM for 15 years, and began as a physical machine more than two decades ago.)
There are ways to solve that and it’s not an architectural flaw. You just need prediction in the compositor to adjust the location of the mouse.

But honestly, the difference of a frame of latency is ridiculously difficult to feel and we’re talking about a half frame of latency here on average. It’s almost likely something else considering the entire end to end latency here is closer to 50-100ms on most systems and still isn’t what people would describe as laggy. Usually it’s some kind of software bug/hiccup that interrupts things to not be rendered at a constant tick rate or just getting hung and not processing events in a timely fashion.
Yes. It’s a long press, though, not 3D Touch or whatever they used to call it. Admittedly this got much better with the new shorter delay to activate long press in iOS 17.

It’s restricted to the space bar, too. IIRC it was much better on my old 6S.
Everything about Amazon is deceptive. It's the digital equivalent of going into a shady bazaar somewhere and haggling with slimy merchants that know all the tricks to rip you off. I've all but stopped using it and cancelled prime (which is a joke now anyway) many years ago.
It's not tricky at all, if adults would just dislodge their heads from their behinds and take the minimum possible amount of responsibility.

Smart phones must be prohibited from under 16-year olds.
The problem is far from invisible (to me at least). A few months ago on HN I used text editing as an example of how iOS wasn't ready for "business" use. I can't find the comment now, but my memory is that I listed several of the issues listed in this post and said something like "Text creation/editing is core to the 'business', non-content-consumer use case. Apple needs to either acknowledge these problems and work to solve them, or admit they cannot solve them and stop pushing this narrative." It's especially telling that the author references Apple's 3D Touch as being an enabling technology here, when Apple shipped it without thinking of a valid use case for it, and then discontinued it after several years of still not thinking of a valid use case for it.

It's interesting to me that Google had Tablet Tuesdays. One of the things I've said many times is that it's obvious when a company actually does the thing they're pressing users to do. Google obviously uses gmail, and just as clearly never used any of the social products they released. But I think Tablet Tuesdays doesn't accomplish the thing they hoped it would: if you can use a regular computer 4 days out of 5 -- or maybe 5 out of 6 :-( then you can limp along on that one day and not have enough incentive to actually solve the problems. "Tablet Tuesdays" should have been "Tablet Teams" -- whole groups of people forced to use nothing but a tablet, with no way to hide from the problems that caused.

Eloquent seems like an excellent existence proof that better is possible. Personally, I would try multi-touch gestures to solve some of the problems. It might be (okay, likely is) too complex a solution, but Apple (at least) can detect up to ten(?) separate touchpoints. That would be absurd, but I'd be curious to try copy/paste with multi-touch shortcuts. And it seems that selection might benefit from multi-touch as opposed to the (admittedly clever) pressure hack Eloquent is using.
WASM doesn't require a VM, you can compile it AOT just fine. There is really no difference between a C-like language that every browser engine would have to parse and compile, and WASM. Except that parsing WASM is easier and faster, and it uses less bandwidth to send over the wire.
This is cool, but this sort of proves my point to friends that Postgres isn't "production ready" out of the box, you need all kinds of tooling around it to make it so.
No he's in prison because multiple witnesses testified they saw him shake and hit and scream at his child for crying, repeatedly.
Utterly insane. If you write a piece of software you can only sell it once? That makes no sense.

And a subscription means you are administering a server (or some menagerie of “serverless” resources) which is an ongoing service that requires maintenance and cost, so that’s what people are paying for, a premium to not have to do that administration themselves.

Like you just want people to suffer? It pains you if people make money without a sufficient amount of hardship?
It's easy to have too wide of a range specified for SPF. You can't properly DKIM sign a mail unless you have a valid key (or you control DNS). As a medium/large corp, you might blanket allow mail from your whole IP space, but you're probably not pushing DKIM keys to all your hosts.
While from technical perspective there are multiple quite different methods to create images, I don't think that there is (or should be, or can be) a clear boundary for social and legal purposes.

It's clear that are a bunch of generated fake images with a face that looks like the impersonated victims and a naked body. Does it matter if that face was copy-pasted from an existing photo of that person or manipulated by a skilled artist to look like that person or AI-generated to look that person? And with respect to the impersonated victims, does it matter if the naked body came from a real photo of someone else, or was drawn by a skilled artist, or was generated by AI?
After the elimination of hookworms, air conditioning is what really made the difference in the south when it comes to economic development. Those summers are oppressive.

Anyone who grew up in rural areas of the south is generally on the lookout for chiggers, ringworms, ticks, hookworms, and pinworms.
By the way, a simple solution I have come across to make the experience slightly less painful: use an OTG adapter, and plug in a USB keyboard. Most offices/hotels etc have USB keyboards lying around, and the OTG adapter is a tiny device. This means that I can reply to emails when I am travelling, and I have found the experience satisfactory. It's not a truly mobile solution, though, since carrying a keyboard around yourself, is bulky.

Personally, I like the AGPL. It means that when a place uses / extends the code, it's pretty likely they're intending on contributing back.

It's the places that go "Ewwww... AGPLv3!" that you have to wonder about.
Could be misremembering, but I believe Pfizer turned in no data on breastfeeding in their initial assessment for the EU. If so, a curious omission.
The fact is thay in real world linear algebra code there are distinct mathematical objects that you do want to keep separate and not mix up. It's already too easy to add the wrong vectors or forget to invert something without also making it possible to do nonsense operations.

That being said I can't see why you can't make newtypes over the one geometric algebra type. But at that point, what's the advantage over plain old vectors and matrices?
What?

It's unlikely. It's not just how educated an motivated you are, you don't have enough time to be an expert in everything.

There are billion dollar industries designed to change your mind and get you to act against your best interest without you even recognising it, but people think they are "free thinkers".
One of the most important watersheds in my career, was reading Jenson's The Simplicity Shift[0], many moons ago.

It was written pre-iPhone, and talked about the brutal necessity of reducing mobile UX to the very barest essentials.

I find that I am revisiting a lot of this stuff, when writing Apple Watch apps.

Yeah I use swiftkey with the arrows and number row. Also I have it set up so the keyboard appears in the middle of the screen where my thumb can actually reach. I have no idea how anyone can use one of today’s giant phones one-handed with the default keyboard.

Reading this article I realized I didn’t even know how to cut and paste on android, and I’d long ago resigned myself to deleting and retyping.
> Most artists are hired by organizers and just paid a flat fee for performing, the company then selling and promoting the event.

This is true, but most artists aren't insanely popular with millions of fans, most artists are little-known gig workers. In this thread we're talking about the big names, which can and do operate by different rules.

The Guardian interviewed several artists in these big tour situations and they say artists get most of each ticket sale, after taxes and royalties (though they obviously also have expenses to pay, so it's not pure profit). If you're claiming otherwise, where does your inside knowledge come from?

The original Law and Order was good, not perfect, but quite good. They tried to follow the procedures and most of the proof were real. Each story was original. (IIRC. IANAL. And perhaps a few more disclaimers.)

The spin-offs are bad. The suspects are interrogated until they confess, and nobody cares if they have no lawyer or they use dubios evidence.
What kinds of regulation do you anticipate helping here?

Let's assume that generating these images is as simple as downloading a model from the internet and running it on the same hardware you use to play Fortnite.

HN book recommendation:

Bad Education https://www.amazon.com/Bad-Education-Debunking-Myths/dp/0335...

The book is split into self-contained chapters, each of which debunk a (often, still) held myth about learning and education. 'Learning styles' is one of these, but others include setting and streaming classes by ability, the effects of 'good' schools. Each chapter is by a different author summarising academically (references) but accessibly a different 'debunk' topic.

UK-centric, but 'lessons' global. The main negative is the unescapable need for some of the chapter editors to air political grievances over the past, though these are mainly about sore wounds over party politics not pedagogy and easily identified. A take-away being shoddy science is used a lot to justify pre-held biases and 'common sense'.
At what age do you feel assisted suicide should be allowed?
Seeing lots of discussion here! People with a game programming background might get something out of the talks I gave at the Game Developer Conference this year. The first one is on quaternions and and the advanced Geometric-Algebra-like use of them by Crytek and Disney to do animation https://gdcvault.com/play/1029233/ and the other is on how you can use that to get intersection, distances, angles, and projection in one line of code https://gdcvault.com/play/1029237/
They actually haven't been debunked IMHO. They've done a handful of tests that tend to show that people remember pictures better than words. They have not tested, as far as I have seen, Active vs Reflective, Inductive vs Deductive (or Sequential vs Global), etc.

I don't think it's been studied in a long time because of the influence of the "Learning Styles is Bullshit" gang.

No, that's not what I said.
Except this was an actual real accomplishment, whose out of patent idea was used later by the Navy: https://physicsworld.com/a/a-tale-of-two-lives/. The application was indeed original, as evidenced by the receipt of a patent for it. You can argue with how the work is described here, but trying to claim it wasn’t a real accomplishment or is somehow comparable to someone adding a bunch of consts is absurd.
You realize a lot of abused kids are taken to the hospital by their abuser?

I can't find much information about him but from his LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/manea-aurel-7775421/) he is not only a talented photographer in Romania but also technical artist for video games as well.

If anyone downloaded already and could setup a torrent that would be nice. These photos are gorgeous, but not sure if he is know for one (or more) in particular.

From the AI industry perspective, I'd call it "deepfake" if it's generated as the original deepfake method did, by taking a real image or video and replacing only the face, and "AI generated" if the whole image was generated.

But perhaps this is a technical distinction that will go away soon, or perhaps has already disappeared in colloquial usage.
The discussion is over there on the elpais articles. Days ago. It's just a note to go there.

I think it was the case that they were just running out of memory to stuff new features in and gave up on it. If so, the RP2040 will give a lot more room for this.

I have a V3 and it is a neat little tool. What isn't clear to me yet is what V5 will sell for. V3 was very cheap but this one has a display and some LEDs that will likely increase the price. Hopefully that increase isn't a big one.

I gotta say though that the RP2040 is a game changer. It is popping up all over the place, from Bus Pirates to Switch mod chips. PIO, good docs, low price, and readily available is a solid combo of features.
The problem is there isn't one runtime env, there are many.

On top of that, being implemented in at least two different environments is a prerequisite to get finalized as a standard per the tc39 process.

I agree with you when it comes to things that aren't far along- the decorator goat rodeo is a good example, but on the whole transpiling is essentially a part of the process now.
The lecture style appears to come from a time before the printing press when access to information was poor, enabling students to be essentially human photocopiers to copy the material to bring back to the home for the rest of the family to learn from.

Seems we still do it because we have a love of tradition.
Hahaha this is a good article. I love the part where the father didn’t believe them but the mother did and kind of published the photographs. And they did it only because of an argument with their mother.

Could something like flat earth theory have started like this? A bad joke that people believed and it got hyped not because it is true but because idiots believing it is kind of fun.
I said along the lines of, paraphrasing myself, in my beginner talk about Wasm + Ruby at OSS Summit, "I distinctly began to get the impression that Wasm was trying to sell me a compiler, so I decided that I should probably go ahead and let it..."

Another similar story about a man executed by Texas based on junk arson science: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2009/09/07/trial-by-fire
Yeah, good luck with that. The genie is out of the bottle, at best you can restrict its public use (and also good luck with proving whether an image is AI or not), because even if they outlaw it somehow, you still only need a GPU, a 4gb file and a <100mb software to make whatever image.

Are we going to ban GPUs or monitor their use? Does that sound like a good idea?
Folding phones are much easier to type on, but not close to a real keyboard.
I’m always confused why conservatives tend to support the death penalty. The conservative ethos is to reduce the power of the state to prevent abuse, but giving the state the right to kill a citizen clearly goes against that. How can you mistrust the state in almost every aspect of society, yet trust it to only kill people that “deserve” it?
Another thing I find uncomfortable about this kind of "pinkwashing" is that it papers over the actual reality of history, which is that (with a very small number of exceptions) women simply didn't get get the opportunity to be "pioneers" in technology, because of the incredibly unfair nature of society at the time. In a fairer society, someone like Lamarr, who was clearly extremely intelligent and curious, might well have gone on to be a pioneer. But that wasn't the reality at the time - and we should acknowledge that.
Is a browser not a VM?

I'm interested in WASM because it appears to do JVM things, but without getting you sued or making you write Java.

Philosophically speaking here, but this was said about atypical sexual preferences in the past.

Of course, distributing such images should be illegal. But perhaps generating them solves a problem?
Thank you for teaching me this! Not very discoverable!
When I started college in 2009, most large classes were videotaped and posted online within a day or two. Still had to show up for discussion and small lectures but at least those usually involved more student engagement
That perfectly described my team. Everyone hated on call. We shared an on call and were responsible for multiple systems that few people understood. Customers have questions and you just don't know and it's not documented. Every week you'd be on call there'd be 5-10 open support cases already open from last week. You have no context and no docs so you give a bs answer and pass it to the next customer.
linux don't display them, the shell (emulator) do. Linux just send the bytes back to userland and let shell interpret them with a proper format to human. And even then. Tons of distro default the global LANG to c for some reason. So utf8 display isn't even working by default.
It has been almost 6 years since all major browsers first supported WASM. Can you really call that early?
Immunity does not mean mRNA molecules diffused across the body. The mRNAs are supposed to be translated and degrated yielding the antigen protein. This antigens cause inflammation at the area of injection and in theory only the protein antigen will be circulated by the immune cells to generate immunity.
It was a real accomplishment, no doubt, but it's not an accomplishment of the order that the article claims.

I looked through that gallery and saw significant noise in all the images. I wouldn't consider it problematic or unusable through at least 12K, but it's there.
I never thought of the disconnect, but that certainly explains why some are so prone to troll and exhibit sociopath-like tendencies online.

We need labels for "free to train AI models on", at least until/unless the governing bodies declare that all is fair use.
I run such a product, I try to create an expectation that I read every email (I do), but I may not able to answer it, and I much prefer spending time fixing the actual bug or updating the UI or docs (which scales) to responding (which doesn't scale).
It’s clunky, you look utterly ridiculous whilst doing it, but it is occasionally very useful. I’ve found that the UI gets better about putting undo arrows everywhere, though. But then even that is not really elegant.

That's nothing unusual though. Isn't every nation existing today the remains of a heavily armed gang of one sort or another?

Those probably wouldn't qualify as "reasonable economy" though. Instead, those would lead to their neighbours being pressured to "do something" about them.

Alternatives though... yeah, good question. Maybe they could set up something online gambling wise, but it could run afoul of the same problem.

Maybe something high-tech instead, though the investment required up front would be... interesting to say the least. ;)
