Man I want this to be real so bad. I love e-ink and if I can have a monitor JUST for VSCode/programming, I'm sold.

The guy scrolling CNN vertically looks like a scam, but the lady sitting reading CNN horizontally looks much more real. There's some ghosting in the lady's scroll as one would expect. Guessing like 20 Hz?

Def want to see a longer, "real" video across a wider range of stuff.

I'm highly skeptical this will produce, so I'll wait after kickstarter for this for sure.

Typically, at least in the North, mango pickle is made with green small desi mangoes which are rather sour.

I haven’t seen those in the US. The only green mangoes I’ve seen are rather bland and not sour enough.
Entering later rather than sooner was a power play.

Ascribing intent is tricky here. Personifying the modern state is another iffy area. "Directed history" is another can of worms.
I'm still hopeful that a good emergency communication protocol or set of protocols could make quick, but well-verified emergency communication possible. In my earlier comment I wanted to communicate that a speed tradeoff would be involved when protecting ourselves from scammers. Maybe I was too dramatic when talking about waiting hours or days to hear from a loved one, but we'd likely need to give up near-instant incoming communication from strangers (and loved ones trying to contact us through strangers) if we seriously want to protect ourselves from scammers.

For many people, the tradeoff--even if in the order of minutes or an hour or two--will be unacceptable and they'll prefer to leave their incoming communication channels completely open and unsecured. However, others people may decide that a small tradeoff is worth it, when weighing their own vulnerability to destructive scams vs. a much lower probability of needing to help a loved one with the catastrophic examples you mentioned. This latter group should not be considered by society to be heartless. Though nobody dies right away when they lose their life savings to a scam, they may very well end up dying or ending up with a very miserable life as a result of that scam. They should not be blamed for reasonably protecting themselves (AND their loved ones, who'd also be affected indirectly by that scam.)

If frequencies abover 20Khz are causing audible differences in the audible frequency range then that's considered distortion and there's an issue in your playback chain somewhere.

So that sounds like a big-F-me. "public facing"? So private is still OK? Bah! I don't know what I'm doing. :)

This is straight up psychopathic to say the least. You are suggesting selectively manipulating the behaviors of certain people to suit your value system.
Firstly, "it's current year" is never a good argument, but you seem to be confusing things (UTF-8 vs Unicode). UTF-8 can take as much as 6 bytes to encode a Unicode codepoint.

If you want to store UUIDs as compactly as possible you'd use 16 bytes.

If you want to store them as text, mapping them to Unicode would be a terrible idea because: many characters are from scripts you've never heard of, many characters look identical (Α vs A), many characters are decomposed and it can change the encoding if they're decomposed[1], &c.

EVs could "save us all" if we got over the meme of "range anxiety" and realized that a majority of Americans (who drive more than anyone else) drive less than 40 miles a day, and sized batteries appropriately, especially in dense urban environments. https://electrek.co/2023/03/22/wink-motors-test-drive-electr...

There's no reason that an EV needs to weigh as much as a Sherman tank.
It's the correct answer today, in the same way that clicking "use a local account" was the answer yesterday. Ms will have this plugged at some point and our account managers are advertising this like it's a good thing.
My first thought also. The refresh rate has got to be shit and the kid holding the phone and scrolling the eInk just smells of false advertising.

This is an oddly biased framing.
No he's not, I can't stand the guy and Trump 160% deserves major flak for letting him within 100 miles of power.
You may be surprised how many SME, heck even branches of large enterprise uses Top Range Consumer Router in their office.
You have to go through a few clicks (I can still barely find references) but I found:

"China's Bigme, which was recently the first to launch with E Ink's Gallery 3 color ePaper technology, has announced a follow up to its S6 Color enote that comes with a Kaleido 3 display and a snappy 12-fps refresh rate."

12.

Snappy.

On the one hand, yeah, for some uses. But they might want to mention that earlier on...
It's quite intuitive if you learned on Office '97 or anything up to '07. If you learned on '07+, you might want a ribbon interface instead. But LO has that available; not sure how good it is.
Also many encoders have things like a lowpass filter even on their higher presets - some people (often younger) may be able to hear those frequencies.

It may be that two different people have different results of being able to tell the difference due to physical differences, no matter the "effort" the put into listening, or training.

But most of the time that's intentional, as high frequencies you "can't hear" just waste bits that could be used on something more useful, or even cause noise from aliasing and harmonics, as no actual playback equipment is perfect. And extending the frequency range makes it much harder to design the circuitry. All for something you can't hear :P

It's another reason why high frequency (96khz) playback is kinda useless, or even make things worse, as the extra frequency range that gives cannot be heard by humans anyway, and just gives more opportunity for those higher frequency patterns to cause distortion. It may even be that people can "tell the difference" precisely because of those distortions. But that doesn't mean it's "better", indented, or even get the same result on different playback equipment.

Lemon pickles fall into both sweet and non-sweet categories . I like the light sweet kind but the non-sweet is also good.

You may want to try a few from Indian stores and then try making the one you like.

I’ll also get an idea what it’ll look like. It turns dark brown, almost black with age.
> And... AVR64DB32 is cheaper at Digikey than ATMega328pb.

Sure, you save about $0.80 off your BOM, but currently DigiKey has a stock of over 200k ATMEGA328P (in 31 P/N), whereas searching for any of the AVR64DB32 family (of which there are 8 P/N), returns 0 available stock. That savings and feature bump is nice, but if you can't get any, whats the point of designing in this part?

Wasn't expecting to like it when I clicked the link, but it doesn't look bad at all. Interesting that it's written in C#.
I like this take. I think we have to realize what these mass social medias are and manage our social interactions on them. I think social media should fall into two categories - the mass medias where you get to interact with the rest of the world and the private medias where you can have only your close friends.
For select small/home plastic routers, there's always OpenWrt.

OpenWrt is generally more trustworthy than the stock firmware, but I wouldn't expect any of these solutions to keep out a state actor, nor even a script kiddie with a lot of time on their hands. Trust level is more like not having a known stock firmware botnet motel, and maybe keeping some cruddy US IoT products on their own VLAN.
UUIDv7 is a nice idea, and should probably be what people use by default instead of UUIDv4 for internal facing uses.

For the curious:

* UUIDv4 are 128 bits long, 122 bits of which are random, with 6 bits used for the version. Traditionally displayed as 32 hex characters with 4 dashes, so 36 alphanumeric characters, and compatible with anything that expects a UUID.

* UUIDv7 are 128 bits long, 48 bits encode a unix timestamp with millisecond precision, 6 bits are for the version, and 74 bits are random. You're expected to display them the same as other UUIDs, and should be compatible with basically anything that expects a UUID. (Would be a very odd system that parses a UUID and throws an error because it doesn't recognise v7, but I guess it could happen, in theory?)

* ULIDs (https://github.com/ulid/spec) are 128 bits long, 48 bits encode a unix timestamp with millisecond precision, 80 bits are random. You're expected to display them in Crockford's base32, so 26 alphanumeric characters. Compatible with almost everything that expects a UUID (since they're the right length). Spec has some dumb quirks if followed literally but thankfully they mostly don't hurt things.

* KSUIDs (https://github.com/segmentio/ksuid) are 160 bits long, 32 bits encode a timestamp with second precision and a custom epoch of May 13th, 2014, and 128 bits are random. You're expected to display them in base62, so 27 alphanumeric characters. Since they're a different length, they're not compatible with UUIDs.

I quite like KSUIDs; I think base62 is a smart choice. And while the timestamp portion is a trickier question, KSUIDs use 32 bits which, with second precision (more than good enough), means they won't overflow for well over a century. Whereas UUIDv7s use 48 bits, so even with millisecond precision (not needed) they won't overflow for something like 8000 years. We can argue whether 100 years is future proof enough (I'd argue it is), but 8000 years is just silly. Nobody will ever generate a compliant UUIDv7 with any of the first several bits aren't 0. The only downside to KSUIDs is the length isn't UUID compatible (and arguably, that they don't devote 6 bits to a compliant UUID version).

Still feels like there's room for improvement, but for now I think I'd always pick UUIDv7 over UUIDv4 unless there's an very specific reason not to. Which would be, mostly, if there's a concern over potentially leaking the time the UUID was generated. Although if you weren't worrying about leaking an integer sequence ID, you likely won't care here either.

I've done that stint in NYC and Tokyo. It's not a bad lifestyle if you're working long hours in your 20's and just need a place to sleep and want to minimize spending.

Eventually though you do want some space for yourself.
As long as you are not violent or suicidal you should not need a hospital yet. Call your health insurance company and ask for a nearby psychologist or therapist to talk to. You just need someone to talk out your problems.

I worked until I became Schizoaffective disorder affected. I need medicine and doctor's care. I've been suicidal about five times and been in a hospital five times. I sleep too much because of the prescription medications I am on. I am getting weak, lost muscle and fat due to not exercising and eating one or two meals a day. That is the depression part of Schizoaffective Disorder. I can't work because it saps my creativity and will power. I read about five books on Python and still cannot program in it beyond a Hello World program or simple programs, complex programs I cannot do yet.

Eat healthier, exercise, take multi-vitamin, and find someone to talk to and you should make a recovery.
Is there any scientific research that shows clear evidence that e-ink screens are indeed better for eyes compared to LED screens in the same environment?

I have seen such claims for many years but don't remember ever seeing any research quoted, and couldn't find any myself in my previous search. As much as I would like to believe e-ink is better (as a long time Kindle user), I hope to see something more concrete.
Identifying who inflames or defuses discussions is only part of the puzzle, and there are systems which eschew algorithmic content selection (including the Fediverse from which my example is taken) where that doesn't really hold. Admins might benefit from such tools, however.

But the larger problem remains that people really can't and don't grasp the distinction between truly-global-scale-public and intimately private within online discussion contexts, and they've kept on not grasping this for decades now. You can go back to the 1960s with Joseph Weizenbaum and the ELIZA Effect as an example of how not only how much people will disclose personal and intimate details online, but with how engaged they get with such systems and the discussions.

Another possibility for AI is, of course, to provide an interactive discussion mechanism itself, much explored in fiction and film. Any number of issues could arise there.

One issue I'd identified years ago is what I call the Pennyworth Problem. Bruce Wayne has a private personal butler. AI and centralised computing services could give us all Pennyworths (and we do already have Alexas, Siris, Cortanas, and, hey! Google!). But where Pennyworth might hypothetically betray Wayne specifically, PennyworthAI could betray all of Gotham, all of the United States, and all of Earth, whether to the legitimate operators of the service, to a government demanding control over it, or to some third party identifying an opportunity and availing themselves of it. And do so with disclosure rates and fidelity hugely greater than that of any human. See: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15513270>

Which would be another dimension of the general intimacy problem.
> Does choosing boring ML tech mean sitting out on massive recent advancements?

that's the point that for new tech it is hard to see where is the hype and where are real advancements which can be useful, and author's choice not to take the risk.

Say you bought the hype of GPT, and integrated it to your product to unlock new cases, but it also can add lots of confusion and quality issues, which author prefers to avoid.
He writes all this philosophy and then concludes with using PostgreSQL instead of mongoDB or nodeJS (? I'm not sure how that was in the same category). PostgreSQL is the opposite of boring technology; I've been using it for over 10 years and am still discovering new and surprising features with new and surprising failure modes; PostgreSQL today is very different from PostgreSQL 10 years ago, but setting it up for true master-master replication is still a clusterfuck and you still have zillions of moving parts in real world use.

I'm lead inevitably to the conclusion that philosophising about tech choices and principles is pointless. Everyone will nod and agree with the principles and tradeoffs and then pick their personal pet technology anyway.
Nice and thorough explanation. The quality of HN content and discussions is indeed great, so I won't question the procedure. :)

I honestly didn't thought of that initially and was becoming conspiranoic about what happened, lol. Thanks for the explanation.

A lot of people connect idealism with psychic powers, and some even view that as counterargument against idealism. The basic idea seems to be this: (1) I have full control over the contents of my own mind, but very limited control over external reality; (2) but, if idealism is true, then external reality is part of my own mind, so I have full control over it too; (3) therefore, psychic/miraculous powers exist; (4) but, (3) is clearly false, therefore idealism must be false. People who want to believe in the psychic/paranormal/miraculous/etc stop the argument at (3), people who don't and are looking to use this as an anti-idealist argument go on to (4).

But, I think (1) is false. We actually have far less control over the contents of our own minds than many of us think we do. Anyone who has ever struggled with mental illness or addiction knows this fact very well. But, even for people who are thankfully unaffected by either: how much of our choices are truly "free", and how much are they predetermined by our genetics and by social/cultural influences? We don't know for sure, but probably a lot more than many people assume. And if (1) is false, the whole argument falls apart.

A lot of what you are saying seems to be rather adjacent to this line of argument. I don't agree that idealism makes the psychic/miraculous "more likely". I agree they are possible under idealism – but they are possible under materialism too. It may so happen that the laws of this universe, insofar as we know them, don't permit psychic powers or miracles – but, that's a consequence of what those laws happen to be, not of materialism in itself, and materialism could be just as true even with very different laws of physics which did permit psychic powers and miracles and magic and so forth.

Furthermore, the known laws of physics actually do permit all those things, with unimaginably low (but non-zero) probability – quantum tunnelling, quantum fluctuations, thermal fluctuations, etc, permit just about anything imaginable to happen (or at least appear to happen, in a way which nobody could distinguish from them actually happening), with unimaginably small yet still non-zero (and non-infinitesimal) probability. But, in a spatiotemporally infinite universe, any event with non-zero probability (however remote) will almost surely eventually happen, somewhere and somewhen, even an infinite number of times; indeed, in a spatially infinite universe, every non-zero probability event is almost surely happening somewhere right now, even an infinite number of times simultaneously – including your scenario. And people call idealism crazy–is materialism really any better? At least idealists can say "we have no reason to believe the universe actually exists beyond its observable limits", thereby avoiding the threat of a spatially infinite universe in which every possible event almost surely is happening somewhere right now – that way of avoiding the threat comes naturally to (some versions of) idealism, it is much more arbitrary for a materialist.

What are their incentives? I'd be weary of an environmental group that was focused on downplaying the byproducts of solar manufacturing. So, yes, their research would bias towards saying that climate change is a threat. Maybe they even stand to make money from it. It really depends on the group. I'd be more likely to trust an ag extension than a first party manufacturer on issues of pesticides.

Edit: I'd apply the same thinking to say someone being paid to review hardware by a company vs a reviewer not being paid to.
This all seems plausible to me, but I have the same objection as I did in my grandparent comment.

I agree that it's useful to feel pain and pleasure because this adjusts our future actions. But how could sensation actually be implemented? How could I look at equations for one or more chemical reactions and determine whether they happen to generate pain or pleasure?

I don't think the usefulness explains the implementation, because we still feel pain and pleasure in situations where it's useless or harmful to feel them. E.g. it's harmful to feel pleasure from addictive drugs, but people do so anyways.
Yeah. I already told you there was an Asus that meets that criteria and has longer battery life.

Again, it's ridiculous to think Apple makes the very best lightweight powerful laptop given how diverse the PC market is. You're really durnk on that Apple kool-aid huh.

I didn't strike out with Dell at all. You found one review of one model and then exaggerated it.

... yet the largest Kaleido screen size mentioned on E Ink's official website is 13.3-inch. And such screens most certainly don't have a ~60 Hz refresh rate like in the mockup video from the article.

So I'm a little skeptical here, to put it mildly.

You very clearly miss the point, and indeed seem to be the type of hard core capitalist I alluded to in my previous comment.
There's a lot I agree with here, but it's missing an important requirement when it comes to "fixing it": discussing your work with your colleagues.

In my experience, people don't learn much from reading books without being able to discuss the content of those books with other people. Indeed if you are discussing your work with your colleagues (and vice versa) — and specifically if you are asking probing questions, challenging assumptions, and asking for clarification as your own mental models fail you — you may not even need to read these books. You will be inculcating a culture that helps counteract all of the behaviors and habits being lamented in this article, and you very well may be teaching (or learning) the concepts within the books.
Coming from a place where I'd bike nine months of the year as my primary mode of transportation, I tried it in the bay area and got hit by a car after a few months. So I got a car, even though I'd much rather bike.
