Some do, some don't. The chances of getting something fixed increase with the amount of prepwork that you do. I try to include as much detail as I can when reporting a bug, typically those reports get ignored so OP materially improved his chances by doing that, but root cause analysis is still covered by 'Reported-by' as far as I can see.
I agree. I stopped buying Apple and switched to Thinkpads. Refurbished. With a decent backup system in place I can replace one on the fly as needed without breaking the bank but more importantly I can repair them. One spill was all it took to destroy my last Mac Pro: the whole machine was useless. I have kids and spills happen. As do drops, tugs, etc. My T450 suffered a spill: nothing. Disassembled, cleaned, back in business. But if it had been toast? Less than $200 to get another refurbished one.
This isn’t even true for the US. In the US we believe it’s better to let a criminal run free than deprive an innocent of their liberty.
While I prefer wired keyboard as well (due to not having to deal with pairing / connection issues), this argument I don't understand:

> Firstly the board is completely wireless, which means I have to charge it via USB-C. As I'm sat practically tethered to my desk all day a permanently wired option would actually be more convenient as it would save me to the hassle of charging.

Then plug the USB-C cable in permanently? How is it different from it having a wired keyboard?
Many keyboards allow you to map additional layers, so if you want a numpad, it's pretty trivial to put one in the place your hand already is, instead of moving your hand over.
That doesn't address why they wouldn't be able to sublease, except for your overgeneral "they're all custom" (sorry, bespoke), which I thought was allowed for such a large lease. In any case, a citation would be helpful to shed light on the issue rather than more assertions.
How do you prevent yourself from being nuked ("just be nice" won't cut it)? I think mutually assured destruction has proven its merit at this point.
Show HN: Serverless GPT Functions that can call any API
Hi HN,

I’ve been working on FunctionHub for the past few months and I’m excited to share it here. FunctionHub lets you write code in TypeScript and have GPT 3.5/4 call it. Your code can make HTTP requests to any API out there, scrape the web, or make database queries. GPT can then use the results to generate content, analyze data, or make further transactions to mutate objects.

FunctionHub works by generating OpenAPI specs from your functions and passing them along to GPT. When GPT "invokes" your function, FunctionHub executes your code and re-prompts GPT with the result. It also supports chained function calls for complex tasks within a specific application domain.

I wanted FunctionHub to be simple yet powerful enough for AI and general-purposes applications. So I built a VSCode-like editor with interactive API, NPM support, public functions that can be forked, and dynamic REST endpoints for your functions.

I’d love to hear any feedback, suggestions, or problems you might have!

Show HN: Onyxia by French Public Service for Easier Data Science
Onyxia is an open-source web app developed by the French Public Service that streamlines setting up data science work environments. It automates cloud setups, letting data scientists focus on data, not infrastructure. Works on Kubernetes and enhances transparency by showing the commands it runs. Perfect for those not cloud-savvy!
Update: Just tried this again, and it looks like they've loosened the restrictions. It will now describe people again. Yay! It just won't try to identify who someone is.

Original comment: Yeah, this wasn't always the case, until recently. People were using it to describe their kids, spouses, etc. Pissed a lot of folks off when they disabled it. I never even thought of using it for that, so now that I realize I could have, it kinda' pisses me off as well. Honestly, I never cared too much what they looked like, but it would have been interesting to hear the ChatGPT viewpoint. :)

But definitely not something I could have asked a fellow human about without it seeming really weird, and being confident I wouldn't get a biased answer. Though it's probably unrealistic to expect that the AI wouldn't also give a biased answer.
I really liked my K750 too, but when I switched to LED lights it stopped charging. I got by for awhile setting it in front of a window a few times a week. Once at night, without a charge and in desperation, I stupidly I set it on top of a lamp with an incandescent bulb, promptly forgot about it, and melted one of the keys.

Processors doing out-of-order execution doesn't change the semantics of the code. That's very different from the example where gcc just throws away the assignment.

The idea that he just needs to accommodate the compiler people is silly. Compilers exist to serve programmers, not the other way around. It's entirely reasonable to disagree with the compiler developers and use a flag to disable behaviour your don't want.
Widgets seem to be what gets worked on when a team is out of ideas and in longer dev projects it feels they're almost cyclical how they get added, get dusty, get abandoned for years then resurface when they're out of ideas again.

Yeah, I need a phone that can run Apple's GarageBand, (easily my most-used app; hundreds and hundreds of hours, and as I use Logic to create music at home and have for 15+ years, I can open up these iPhone-created files at home, establishing a workflow Ableton, for instance, has completely failed to replicate) - ideally uses iMessage so I can more easily communicate with my romantic partners who both use it; and can run a browser of my choice. I'd also like it to work with my Apple Watch. Any non-iPhone recommendations?

So often people are first to accuse others of what they are themselves…
> It's better to name things what they should be, rather than what they are criticized as being at their worst.

This is known as propaganda. The US has done nothing but go on the offense post-WWII. There was no “defense” in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan… those are all examples of US aggression and imperialism.
That reaction when Chinese devices are "freer" than Western ones. Shameful!
Unlike the MS Natural 4000, all of these seem to lack one or more of: symmetrical meta keys, F keys, standard navigation cluster, right hand Ctrl and/or Alt, cursor keys away from the main typing area (probably necessary for symmetrical meta keys anyway), PrtSc key.

(A pause key would be nice too. I think I can survive without ScrLk.)

I like having a numeric keypad, but that can always be bought separately.

Volume controls and mute would be a nice. I like them separate, but Fn+something is acceptable.

Even if I'd never buy any of them, I do like the fact that there are all these different layouts. But it's a constant mystery to me why none of them are remotely like the very standard MS split layout that's been around for over 25 years.
How is it priced unsustainably/subsidized by venture? Amazon is profitable.
Honestly, I'd like a meaningful rebuttal of the actual behaviors and why they foster competition vs. stifling it. I've already listed one (Amazon penalizing suppliers for listing lower prices elsewhere). Again, pretty clearly anticompetitive.

Your excuses of "so and so did it too" are meaningless, as are any slippery slope fallacies, as are your personal anecdotes and observations (the latter of which, no fault to you, simply can't be trusted anyways, as my own observations are the opposite). The only relevant questions are whether Amazon did it (they did) and whether it fosters competition vs. stifling it (seems like the latter).

So, again, go ahead and try to honestly list the behaviors like the one above, and explain how either Amazon didn't engage in that behavior, or how the behaviors fostered competition vs. stifling it. Otherwise, it seems like more of the "where's the line???" FUD I mentioned earlier.
I don't enter numbers frequently enough that I need one, and I prefer the closer mouse distance of a smaller keyboard.

If the board has QMK/remappable firmware, then they can add a virtual layer that does have a numpad. That's what I did for my Let's Split keyboard.
>"All electronic devices send out eletromagnetic waves. so does your monitor. and your monitor does it all the time. and at very high frequencies. high enough for your short wave AM radio. all you have to do is display the "correct" image on your screen and your monitor will emit the "right" signals. Tempest for Eliza displays pictures on your screen. one for each note in the song."

This is interesting from a "dimensional expansion"/"dimensional collapse" perspective.

In other words, we have a computer monitor.

The screen, more specifically images on the screen -- are 2D entities.

Radio waves, on the other hand, could be considered 1D, or even 0D (time domain oscillations only), depending on one's perspective...

So, if what the article says works, we have this mapping of a specific patterned 2D screen image -- which maps to a note (a human hearable frequency) mapped to a much higher frequency 1D or 0D entity (the AM radio wave).

Anytime an apparent one-way mapping can be spotted -- I like to imagine if it could be reversed, and if so, what might be required to do that...

Reversed, this looks like a 0D/1D radio wave generating a 2D screen.

Well, we already have something like that... that's basically streaming YouTube videos over WiFi (2D screens gettting generated from 1D/0D information)... but that's still with an encoding method, compression, computer intervention, etc.

Perhaps there is something more fundamental there...

Old-time analog TV's used a radio (well, rf/electromagnetic spectrum, whether you call it "radio" or VHF or UHF or not...) signal only to create their 2D pictures without encoding or decoding, without computer intervention.

But, I don't know.

I think the whole idea of converting something in several dimensions to something in lesser dimensions, and then converting it back again -- has a whole lot of merits and applications -- thus far we've "discovered" TV and Computers and moving pictures of all sorts -- what potential applications will we find for this set of ideas in the future?

What are the most morally acceptable industries on offer that we should use our skills for instead?
Yeah, nobody know the exact parts of the case. As its semi-secret (to protect the child and parents I guess). While the parents were cleared, this case is definitely not appropriate to this discussion as it was definitely not only hemorrhaging that started it. If a hospital gets a toddler with fractures on their skull, society should damn well figure out how it got them and stop it from happening again.
A lot of the arguments about whether SF crime statistics say X or whether stores leave for reason Y miss the point entirely: There's simply a lot of human misery and complacency towards it out in the open in SF (and in nearby areas like Oakland and Berkeley).

I like these kind of different takes that makes me think, but this one left me a bit confused. Isn't salvation through new technology a main doctrine of the climate doomsday believers?
No mutually assured destruction back then.

WW1 was a pretty inefficient war, WW2 got better weapons and communication infra, but modern war fare is seriously destructive.

Intercontinental missiles fired from stealth submarines with nuclear payloads that break apart in air into 20 little payloads that then destroy an entire city 1000s of kms.

Modern warfare doesn’t need armies of millions of men. Whoever can best see their enemy via satellites and oceanic array, direct the most destructive energy using missiles and drones decapitates their enemy.

One nuclear warhead possesses multiple times the energy spent on both world wars combined.
Anything that doesn’t involve killing humans and destroying the environment?

FYI: You can put a low-profile mechanical keyboard on top of your MacBook built-in keyboard and it works great.

I use the Keychron K1 Pro with Brown Gateron switches. It's an 80% (ten-key-less / TKL). I needed this one because I use the right shift key a lot and it has a full-size one whereas the 75% is shortened.

You get used to the slightly different layout very quickly. You might swap back and forth a bit but when you go to bed you will start dreaming about typing on it. You will even enjoy doing typing races just to press the keys.

Another new one just released is the NuPhy Air75V2.

That's true, but in this case the contribution really is miniscule and if you look at the actual exchange between the kernel maintainer and the OP it is at a minimum misrepresented in the blog post and on top of that the kernel maintainer put in a bunch of work as well including code changes. OP makes it seem as though something major is at stake here and I just don't see it, it's a four line bug fix for a very old issue on a non-mainstream platform. That doesn't get your name posted next to Torvalds and Cox, though I do support the 'Suggested-by' tag, that would be a nice middle ground.

Finally: if you want 'Kernel contributor' on your CV then the last thing you want to do is to mail security patches to that particular mailing list, especially ones that still need work.
We made very similar mistakes with college education and housing. Both things that we’d like people to have more of, in theory.

In both cases the government provided massive subsidies in the form of loans and tax breaks.

That does wonders for the demand side. However the government didn’t find a way to increase supply (esp of the good stuff) at the same rate nor did they find a way to prevent the excess profits generated from falling into the same few hands.

So what did we get? A seemingly endless cycle of price growth.

There's a clear logical difference in those two patches and I can't blame the maintainer for going with his version.

Attribution should be given though, regardless of the bug OPs patch introduced the actual line that fixes the issue is clearly the same thing with the appropriate coding style.

As a maintainer, I can understand his reasoning but TBH it would've been easier and more respectful to just reply with the proper code snippet, having the contributor submit it (if he agreed) and then giving them credit.

Honestly, the comment section of this thread sucks, the level of self righteousness, "aggression" and gatekeeping is ridiculously uncalled for.
The difficulties with Irrational Numbers were obvious from the beginning (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrational_number#History). Many of them are very "Real" and occur naturally in the Universe (eg. Pi = Circumference of a circle / Diameter of the circle) but our modeling of them doesn't feel "natural" and hence the confusion. You might find the following interesting;

1) God created the Irrational Numbers : https://www.welovephilosophy.com/2014/03/26/god-created-the-...

2) What is a real-world metaphor for irrational numbers? : https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2065998/what-is-a-r...

> Anyway, the argument goes roughly like this: Real numbers also include the irrational numbers, and if these were physically realized, then they would contain an infinite amount of information within a finite space. This violates various physical laws.

While I agree 100% on the change of shooting behaviour and film experience, I've had to spend a non-trivial amount of time and money recently trying to scan in a decade (1990-2000) of negatives (~10k?).

Because of the number of boxes sitting there, selectively scanning becomes harder than scanning it all and sorting digitally. No easy wins...

And while shooting digital over the last 20 years resulted in ~60k images, I can store that 2TB in the same volume as a single roll of prints, with the benefits of near-instant retrieval and offsite backups...

The purpose of incarceration is not deterrence, nor for "rehabilitation" (whatever the fuck that is). The purpose is *incapacitation*. It is for society. It is not for the benefit of the criminal. It is to protect society from the malbehavior of the criminal.

The reason the US leads the world in incarceration is because the US has a lot of criminals: "If America put nobody in prison except for murderers and rapists, we would still have a larger per capita prison population than Germany (96 per 100,000 vs. 67 per 100,000). Not a single critic of mass incarceration has ever even attempted to come to terms with this reality"

Would you go loot an Apple Store if you didn't have "adequate" dental care? Would you rape and murder an Asian shopkeeper if you didn't have "clean water"? No, what an absolutely absurd hypothesis. And yet you people routinely state that is the reason others commit crime.

Look at these stats from a supposedly anti-incarceration institute: https://twitter.com/SwannMarcus89/status/1698911461031190835

For those released from prison for a violent crime, the risk of committing a murder is 1%. Wow that sounds low. 1% would be 1000 murders per 100k! Comparing it to country-wide stats, that would make it the most violent country on the planet by a factor of 200. A 1% risk of murder is an insanely high number. And a 71% chance of recommitting another violent crime!
