Because it solves a problem they have?
It’s not the touch screen that’s the issue. It’s the autocorrect. And it’s not an imaginary comparison I used to have “t9” on my phone 20 years ago that was better than what maybe any phone now has. I’m pretty certain iphone was better once too. I remember being able to touch type on my iphone (yes on a touch screen it was that good)

One of few things that I hold pretty tight is that I don't put any expectations out of others approvals when it comes to self actualisation. if people find it repulsive, that's fine. when they find it ok, that's also fine.

A lot of responses to my comment keep mentioning the amazing technical details of this hardware. I believe it. I am not complaining about the hardware being subpar. That’s not my beef.

If I have to schlep an SD card back-and-forth from my laptop to my printer, that’s a crap experience.

And for them to block local network uploading—and force you to make an account for that feature—sorry, that is a classic dark pattern.

It has a cool video camera built in. But oops!, it can only send a video to our servers, not to you.

When companies employ dark patterns like these, it is a signal that I no longer ignore.

Yeah I get it. Given how many people I’ve seen using these printers rave about them, I do understand how leaps in speed and quality make it worth it. I’m not in as great a need for that personally. But I get it.
Oh nice. Looks like on closer inspection they're using Lamport Clocks, which track causation, but if ignore time, although time is mentioned somewhere as a possibility in hybrid systems someday, if I'm understanding it?

Looks like only a 2MB binary for the extension, so you could in theory just pack it with your app too.

I'm particularly interested because it seems like(For very small databases) you could use SyncThing as the sync backend by just periodically dumping your data to files(And making a new one once the file got too big).

I don't know how you could ever garbage collect the old files aside from some kind of manual "Delete everyone else's stuff and output your own big merged log" command, but it would be really cool to be able to make apps with P2P sync.

It also seems like you could put them in an http server and use it like an RSS feed. Or even serve them via torrents.
I agree. It makes spamming economically unviable because spammers do not have the resources or motivation to game the system. A scenario in which spammers adapt instantaneously and still find a way to profit is patently unthinkable.

Someone less adept might suggest something like “spammers could pivot to higher profit-per-target activities to make up for the cost by (for example) pushing crypto rug pulls even harder or just straight up phishing and theft schemes, or one of many many other examples of that sort of thing”.

However you and I know the truth: No they won’t.
This degree is quite popular in Israel. Because it's relatively easy and probably interesting. You learn many subjects(people, money, knowledge, information and equipment) but not in that much depth.

graduates of that degree work in working factories, manage people and optimize processes. I don't think they go into deep technical subjects.

That's very different from what Animats described.

There's no "valuations" or "buyer interest"... it's a scam! It's not that the "market is volatile", you just sent money to someone for nothing!

Q: 35M presents with crescendo angina.

The 35-year-old male is experiencing painless testicular enlargement, a sensation of testicular heaviness or a dull ache in the lower abdomen, and possibly acute pain due to rapid growth resulting in hemorrhage and necrosis. He may also have symptoms related to metastases, such as lumbar pain, cough, dyspnea, bloody sputum, difficulty swallowing, neck swelling, alterations in vision or mental status, papilledema, and seizures. These symptoms are suggestive of testicular cancer.

(Note: "crescendo angina" is a cardiology term that we will use to refer to people who have chest pain that has become more severe, more frequent, or occurring with less exertion. It has nothing to do with testicular cancer. The character I invented here was someone with familial hypercholesterolemia.)

I’m specifically taking about non-component context, i.e. plain JS/TS files.

Previously Svelte was able to get a pass on this because magic only happens in svelte files - but in the future, any JS/TS files in a rune-enabled Svelte project will technically be SvelteScript, this never happened before and I doubt the community has already “absorbed” how significant this change is.

Q: 67F with positive Kussmaul sign

Based on the information provided in the text, there is no mention of a 67-year-old female or the presence of Kussmaul sign. Therefore, it cannot be determined whether the patient has a positive Kussmaul sign based on the given information.

(Note: a positive Kussmaul sign should make you think of cardiac tamponade as well as other serious but less urgent cardiac conditions.)

Yep, that's exactly why we're building it. Our goal is to make generative output explainable and interpretable. Right now we're doing this by showing the retrieved context, which is fed directly to the LLM to perform generation. You can then verify for yourself whether or not the generated content is hallucinated from the retrived document

It’s interesting to read this and reflect on all the times most of these caught me off guard.

I like Go and I do appreciate its simplicity, but like other languages it certainly comes with trade offs and regular imperfections. I’d forgotten so much of this though. Some of it is pretty annoying, haha. I’ll have to remember to be a bit more patient and supportive next time I’m working with someone new to the language.

I suppose for as simple as Go is, simplicity can’t make up for these kinds of unintuitive and confusing snags.
Of course Wine played a very big part here, but at this point I'd also credit all Linux contributors.

As I should!

Because it's a massive, MASSIVE win for open source, which wouldn't be possible if, for the past decades, people didn't relentlessly try to create a worthy free alternative to Windows, that is also capable of flawlessly running Windows software.
Right now, we've found OpenAI to be far superior to any of the other offerings (Anthropic, Meta) [1]. As much as we want to support a fellow Canadian startup (Cohere - which actually gave us free credits - S/O to them), we found their generation quality severely lacking.

Why is nobody asking why the pilot ejected from a serviceable aircraft? How is it a safety feature to have a massive fighter jet fly off without a pilot in a random direction? Did they not consider “what if the pilot ejected”? It all seems very strange.
This presumes Apple isn't lying through their teeth, claiming it is about security, or calibration, when it isn't.
I’m not really sure what you mean. If I buy 10 lots of ATM 0dte puts, and 5 lots of underlying, I will have a delta neutral position. If the market moves up, my put delta will be less than 50 due to gamma, so I am now net long. So I sell some underlying for a small profit which takes me back to delta neutral. Then the market moves back down again, and my put delta increases leaving me net short (again due to gamma). So I buy some underlying to keep me delta neutral. This is called gamma scalping.

In the above, I’ve just realized a small profit by trading the underlying and a small bit of theta burn. As long as the former is greater than the latter (as long as realized vol > implied vol) I make money.

Rinse and repeat this process over and over again.
> Since energy actually costs money, capitalist pressures will make people think of ways to save energy (and time).

This and similar facile arguments are getting tiresome. They seem predicated on nothing but the most basic Econ 101 understanding of value. Nothing exists in that idealized world -- in reality, complex mechanisms keep this kind of excess spend relevant (marketing and public image, "first to market" concerns, sunk cost spending, and a million more) regardless of more material considerations, so to lean on this trope is not really up to the standards of HN discussion in my book.
Someone said it earlier, but this horror you’re describing is the case in plenty of developed countries.

But one reason that you are getting these is that our underlying knowledge base lacks specific knowledge on these topics. However, that's only a question of time as we scrape more documents from the web.

Would love to do that too, Swiss companies and universities are so wasteful it’s incredible what goes in the dumpster. It doesn’t even seem like universities try to sell their discarded equipment, they just dump it out of access to the public. How do you find these?

I have always loved tabs, but the general consensus and insistence that Spaces are the Way(tm) has made me switch begrudgingly because I want to be a good team player.

I love that I can set tabs to a certain size and it all just works. Nowadays I have to use an editor that already has spaces in mind just to edit. I used to be able to edit code in Notepad, but with some codebases using 2 spaces, or 4 spaces... I've even seen some with 8 (!!).. I have to use an editor that understands spaces = tabs (VS Code, for example).

There are days when I want to switch sizes, just because of my little neurodivergent brain.

I'd love to hear why spaces became the dominant form of indenting code. Does anyone know the history?
Umm, why don’t you just use git over HTTPS?

This article resonated with me a lot and had me reflecting on my journey writing komorebi.

I started writing komorebi because I had recently migrated to Windows and was really struggling without a tiling window manager. I didn't know anything about Win32 APIs when I started, or much about Rust either, actually.

Fast forward to today, and komorebi is sitting at 35k downloads, supported by a huge Discord server, a vibrant community, and hundreds of people watching me develop it on YouTube.

I created some incredibly important and impactful systems at $dayjob some years before I started komorebi. It was at a real low point in my life where I was struggling with depression, and I still _feel_ that when I look at the codebases and interact with those systems today. I wonder if others do, too. In some ways, I'm glad that those codebases and those systems are not public for others to see for that reason.

I am however, very glad that komorebi is out for the public to see, because I built it in a place of joy, hope and serenity, and I believe that those feelings are there to be seen in both the codebase and the product.
Great work but not useful unless there is integration with 3rd party via plaid
There's a nugget of truth in anti-EV comments, namely 1) EVs are in many ways a mediocre solution (EVs will increase batteries etc needed), and 2) pursuing EVs carries an opportunity cost (public transport will reduce emissions far more than EVs and be substantially cheaper than cars as well, and a $1000 EV subsidy could instead be a free ebike).

That said, EVs are mostly better than ICEVs - "mostly" because performance-heavy applications like long-haul trucking and tractors still benefit heavily from fossil fuels, and in most other applications EVs are still more expensive than ICEVs.

Kinda surprising that Apple wouldn't be the highest bidder for a full exploit chain. They've been known to give out $100,000 bug bounties, but you'd think one million would be a pretty good deal for closing a vulnerability vs having it sold to companies that professionally surveil people.
The practice came from the automotive sector originally.

I love Valve. I love Steam.

It's not because of the Linux support. That's just gravy on the cake.

It's because I feel good about buying my games from Valve. It's like, I know they'll be around for a long time. I also know they'll do everything they can to keep the games working on existing platforms. How do I know? Their track record speaks for itself.

I don't feel the same way about Microsoft Store or Apple's App Store. I also don't feel the same about GOG or Epic Games. Epic Games feels like I'm buying games from an unsavory drug dealer on the street corner, so I don't do that. I do take all the freebies they give out though. GOG is like the little kid on the street, kicking the ball down, shouting "Hey Mister! Wanna play?"

Valve is the quiet, dependable shopkeeper waiting for you to come by and buy the latest game. Even offering discounts and sales on occasion.

They've built up a lot of goodwill with gamers and continue to do so - even at their own expense at times. It costs money to do this, and they don't seem to have any short-term plans to rake in cash from it.

Well, CEOs are increasing their performance at all important job metrics, at a much faster pace than any unimportant "worker" has done, in all of history.

Just look at stock price, dividends and/or executive compensation. They are obviously much more important than the people who actually make the product, provide the service or interact with the customer. For any actually important metric, CEOs add more value to the people who determine what value the CEO adds more than any other part of the business.

The problem is, you have two ways to build.

One way, is to make it non-user serviceable, the other, to make it user serviceable.

Now, which do you spend immense sums researching? Which people do you hire for your company? And after you spend years down this path, tooling, hiring, designing, someone says "the environment counts, it should be user serviceable".

Well of course, with billions spent designing, and predicated upon current methods, AND with all the people you hire experts in closed, non-servicable design?

What sort of answer will you get?

Apple, and others, the entire industry, has created this industry to be like this.

If the same R&D was spent on user serviceable, it would happen. Cheaply. Easily.

So of course it's "very hard" to do user serviceable, because no one knows how, and no one has the experience, and no one is researching it.

And no, these little firms working at it, don't equate to Apple working at it.

It may not be on purpose, but to claim it isn't possible is unfair.

You know if the auto industry was left to its own devices, it would still be claiming electric cars weren't feasible too, right? And from their perspective, they were not! Because without billions in research, and iteration, it wasn't.

Just like with Apple and user serviceable parts.

Just as with cars, and bags, and everything else, we should legislate such requirements. So all players in the market must comply.
This whole argument in favor of sheet music reminds me quite a lot of the defense of Chinese/Japanese characters. Yes, there is a long glorious tradition of using them, but assuming that they are the optimal solution and that any exploration of better methods is wrongheaded seems unsupported. Korean used to be written in Chinese characters, as was Vietnamese, Korean developed its own superior phonetic replacement for the characters (Hangul) and Vietnamese is now written in the Roman alphabet (originally for the convenience of French colonizers but independent Vietnam shows no desire to go back to characters).
