Show HN: Bezel, my macOS app to mirror an iPhone onto your Mac
Every product demo with an iOS app, I wanted a better way to present my iPhone to the audience. I used QuickTime a lot over the years, but it’s such a hassle to setup. It also looks confusing to non-techies, being just a square. My friend Tom and I finally took the time to create a better alternative.

Our Mac app Bezel mirrors your iPhone as soon as you plug it in. (Once the device is trusted.) If it isn’t trusted yet, the app helps you pair the iPhone and Mac. It also shows a highly accurate bezel of the connected device.

It’s ready for more people to give it a try now, so we’re putting it out in the world. Really looking forward to feedback from the HN community. What would you use Bezel for? Any ideas for further improvements? Love to hear from you!
Apparently you are making a "granny knot".

Continuity and limits, and some relevant topological spaces are absolutely required to describe very basic fundamental physics. You can't write down even stuff like Newton's laws without calculus, and you can't do calculus without something equivalent to limits.

You can, but just be aware that the sheer abrasiveneness of it might rub people the wrong way, instead of convincing them of it.
In a meatspace casino, if someone shows you 4 face down cards, asks you to pick one, and then turns them all up to reveal 3 prizes and 1 "you lose" card, you can be fairly sure you had a 25% chance of losing.

If the croupier used sleight of hand or secret e-ink cards to turn your card into the "you lose" card after you'd picked it, that would be fraud.

The dark patterns and dopamine manipulation are bad enough, but isn't it fraud in this case? They're using a visual metaphor that is a straight-up lie.
Can we take a break from this already - why are a handful of computer scientists and VCs suddenly setting the course for the entire human race? Didn’t we learn anything from social media?

> Apple and Google should be ashamed of themselves, and fined billions of dollars over this. Why Europe has not woken up to this, which is the only real hope in the short run for substantial fines, is beyond me.

Perhaps EU hopes that sideloading would address issues like this.
I think the logical conclussion is to force app store providers to do the enforcement. After all, the app store providers are monopolists in their environments. I guess, one day, if Apple, Google and company (all those crapware stores from e.g. Samsung) don't enforce it themselves, an EU regulation will come.

Aesthetic loot crates are for sure still predatory/addictive, but I think the point here is that they don't directly impact the core gameplay experience. You can still get fragged by a player who's wearing the default skin (and sometimes that's a flex in itself...).
AI ethics (like making current AI refuse to do some things) and dealing with existential risks to humanity from future AI are quite different so we should probably not put them into the same category when talking about it

You could only have that if your bank account being emptied by someone knowing your password is your problem, not the bank's problem or employees forgoing 2FA carried the liability for their passwords leaking.

If the bank has to be partially responsible for your access credentials and your workplace is going to get in trouble from you reusing a password, of course they are not going to let you have much freedom here.

Elician here.

The two main problems we're addressing now are:

1. Finding papers / claims / data across an academic literature which is ballooning in size.

2. Using these raw materials to to answer questions in a reliable manner.

#2 is where the bulk of the tricky ML work is, and where vanilla language models often fall short because of limited context windows and hallucination.

We're also working to expand Elicit to help academics with other parts of their research, like surfacing critiques, suggesting related prior work, brainstorming related research questions, identifying risks of bias, …
Perhaps the effective solution will be per country app stores, the natural next step after alt app stores are made mandatory by EU.

I really can't see beyond blind value signaling why anyone would want to single out Lego. "It's a really familiar brand and uses plastics - let's take them down a notch". Far too easy and also misplaced.

If all companies made their products as lasting as Lego we would have lot less problems.

Lego should be held as an aspirational role model, not a pariah.

> I know positive statements like that about Musk can trigger some people.

Anecdotally, I have observed that the people who use “trigger” or “snowflake” to refer to the actions of others are themselves the biggest perpetrators of what they decry. It’s bait which taints the conversation from the get go. If you feel the need to poke jabs at a nondescript group before making an unrelated point, perhaps consider your argument isn’t strong enough. Do better.

> The part of the business book I've enjoyed the most is the countless illustrations of how Musk applies his "algorithm".

I saw this on another HN submission. Clearly it’s going to be the most quoted part of the book. What jumps at me is how generic and badly worded it is. It’s the same advice you’ve seen for years on mediocre “how I got my first X customers” blog posts. It’s what that one annoying guy keeps posting on LinkedIn as “the recipe to success”. It’s particularly weird how steps are numbered yet repeatedly mention you should do the previous ones first. We understand how numbers and progression works, there’s no need to explain three times—on a five step process—that the previous number comes first.

Those are very nice shots, but... did you considered the local laws before flying them in city centers? From where I am (Spain) it's a big no no to fly one over any even sparsely populated area. It's forbidden (AKA requiring lots of permits) even if you are not flying over people (like in the Thames) or the drone is less than 250g.

What a strange comment. I am complaining about the misapplication of science toward predicting the future, not that the article is on the home page. “Some people are interested in different things than you are” has literally nothing to do with it.

As a side note, I’ve noticed that comments like this, which have basically nothing to do with the parent and are instead just functioning as weird hobby horse put downs, are becoming more and more common. Very strange phenomenon.
I have an sgi o2 that was originally the RIP for some sort of fancy print system. Which blew my mind. I mean sure the o2 was sort of the low end system of it's generation. But that is still a 10-20 thousand dollar computer. And you are wasting it on the infernal print queue.

I sort of get it now, it's 1996, you have a million dollar printer, you want to make sure the computer assigned to handle the images can keep up with it, the o2 is probably a good fit.

The other fun fact about the o2 is apparently the oil companies liked it. It is a unified memory architecture. On the one hand this means it's graphics were far slower than it's big brother, the octane, On the other the octane has at most 16 megabytes of video memory. you could get close to a gigabyte of memory in the o2 and and you could use as much of that for video memory as you could get away with. Great for those large geological survey visualizations.

Mixing up 'f' and 'f(x)' is mostly harmless in practice. The underlying principles are still clear enough. (And I say that as someone who would _really_ like to make that argument that people who mess this up are somehow unclear in their thinking. No, they are mostly fine.

Getting 'f' vs 'f(x)' right mostly is really important for programmers who deal with higher order functions in general all the time. Most mathematicians don't fall into that category.

You could say calculus deals with higher order functions, like the derivative. And that's a valid way to look at it. But most people get by just fine using special purpose notation for the derivative and not thinking about it as a function just like 'f'.)

I used := to emphasis that I am defining 'f' here, not just writing down any old equation. (Eg like like in the example "Find all functions f such that f(x + 1) = x * f (x).")

Though if you wanted to be pedantic about notation, I could have written that as with the x on the other side of the :=, like f := \x -> x + 3 (for Haskell inspired notation) or f := (x |-> x + 3) where |-> means the little arrow I draw by hand to denote a mapping when I'm writing math on a chalk board or piece of paper.

I'm not sure why := would denote a computation? At most you might want to use it to denote an assignment in a mutable context?
Yes! Can we talk about projects consistently deciding to invent new nomenclature for their entities or products. Is it an effort to lock you in to their system?

I built my bread and butter with Java and Spring for ~20+ years, and I can safely say whilst commendable to reduce the bloat, it's the language itself which is bloated af.

Features bolted on late like function pointers (sorry lambda functions, which are effectively delegates, something they said they'd never do https://web.archive.org/web/20080127045532/java.sun.com/docs... ), too many deprecated APIs, keywords that mostly go unused and have alternatives (volatile - a CPU option for memory access with shared threads, transient - now handled by serialisation frameworks, synchronized - now handled by locks, protected - barely used in preference to package etc).

I moved to Typescript, AWS lambdas and Express framework, it has all this framework's simplicity baked in.

To other Java Devs who have made their bread and butter with the language (and perhaps nothing else), don't knock it until you try it, the path from Java to Typescript or other typed language is easier than it looks and you'll wonder why it ever took so long to knock up quick systems.

Yeah he is definitely overdramatising.

1. paying the bills is something you do once every month for people not having setup direct payment. Sure most banks wants 2FA nowadays but you could live without a phone daily and only use one (or a tablet, a VM or an emulator) once a month (without SIM and plan). Or go to the actual bank once a month. People used to go to the post office once a month to pay the bills in Switzerland. I am pretty sure a lot of people still do it that way.

2. access to maps. Do what any tourist has done for decades. Go to the tourism office and grab a free map. If you wants more details, buy or print an actual detailed map + the public transport system map. done.

3. I have been a foreigner and have learnt languages just by living in a place. This is by interacting with the people that you start learning better and feel part of the community and culture. Asking for directions is part of it. Sure swiss people may not be on average the warmest people but you will always find people willing to help.
Same here. Even taking aside the things a smartphone are necessary for like 2FA, it's not like my life was massively different before it.

Instead of browsing the web on the phone screen I instead read a book or a newspaper on the train.

Instead of texting a friend that I'll be 20 minutes late because I missed my connection I instead had to hope that they'd still wait for me at the place we were supposed to meet.

Instead of checking google maps for directions I'd look at the maps hung around the cities or ask someone.

Now all of that might be because I'm an introvert, but I've been listening to music and reading books instead of interacting with strangers since forever. The smartphone just made it so I wouldn't have to lug around several books and a discman.

That said: I absolutely make the exception for work related stuff. There's a reason why I have a separate work and private phone, getting Teams notifications and other work related stuff during my time off can absolutely ruin my evening.

Unlike self-driving they aren't charging people in advance for something they haven't done, so I think this is fine. Plenty of companies are researching humanoid robots. I don't see why Tesla can't too.

Just because something is done in the name of "safety" doesn't make it unimpeachable good. In fact, it's often quite the opposite. Ask anyone who's had to get on a plane at a US airport in the last 20 years.
You’re missing the point: physics has shown the world to be discretized. Almost every number you go out and measure IS ACTUALLY AN INTEGER. In that sense the real number system doesn’t exist. It’s super useful, yes, but it’s an abstraction away from reality.

Mind sharing the countries? Because it's only now after moving to certain 1 country that I see the "pill counting" and "translating scripts into layman terms" as parts of a pharmacist's job.

To me it was an absolutely American thing from the movies: I've always had the posology written by doctors already in layman terms, and nobody counts pills, you just get the number of boxes needed for the period of treatment (e.g. now for a treatment for which I need 38.5 pills I got exactly 38.5, in all other EU countries I've lived in I'd get 1x40/2x20/4x10 boxes).

> Biometrics need to be evaluated on a separate computer for security reasons.

But why? What's the algorithm/architecture here? I am genuinely curios here.

I guess we can generalize finger/face readers as multichannel cameras. What do you gain by computing a "hash" of the data (and the associated machinery to send that hash securely) versus simply sending raw data for evaluation at CPU level? In the end the CPU has to trust the data sent by peripheral anyway.

I understand the use of separate compute unit when extraction of secrets must be protected, but in this case it is the CPU that protects those secrets anyway.
2FA doesn’t require a smart phone. It just requires a second form of authentication.

TOTP (the one time codes that are common methods of 2FA) don’t even need a smart phone. You can store them in most password managers, if you wanted to.

With regards to other forms of MFA, you can use email, SMS, hardware keys and I’ve seen some banks use a second password (which is dumb but probably no worse than email or SMS). Some sites just ask your for “memorable information”, which is also terrible in my opinion.

It just so happens that TOTP is the best second form of authentication because it is both secure but also cheap.

If you don’t want to store those TOTP codes on your smart phone then you can store them in your password manager or buy another physical device just for 2FA. I wouldn’t normally advocate storing your 2FA codes with your passwords, but that’s still better than not having any second factor of authentication at all.

Current electric semis are only good for hauling potato chips (i.e. mostly air) for any distance over 100km.

Weight is very very valuable on both passenger cars and commercial trucks. Hauling those extra 300-500kg vs a comparable size sedan comes at a steep cost too, as increasing weight requires stronger/wheels body, wheels, brakes, even engines.

There is a huge demand for higher energy density, preferably of a non-explosive kind.
