It’s quite easy - I just put it in the charging cradle ($10 on Amazon) every night. Since the 4th edition it essentially lasts 2 days if I’m not doing heavy workouts so I can skip a charge.
My Fossil Hybrid HR has (real) motorised hands sitting on top of an e-paper display. 2 weeks of battery pretty easily. Just a shame that the syncing software halves the battery of your phone, requires privacy-invasion talking-back-to-the-server bullshit, and is ugly and useless to boot. But still required for watch functionality.

Christ I wish more smartwatches were hybrid & e-paper displays. I just seems the most obvious form for a smartwatch to exist in, yet there's almost none around.

Show HN: AI Powered Markdown Editor for tech writers
I posted about MD Edit on HN a few months back and got some feedback from the community. Also, i have been talking to some designers and users and based on all the feedback, i did a big revamp to the Markdown Editor app to make it more developer-friendly and intuitive. Its still free to use for everyone (even though there's a subscription option, but none of the features are gated).

Would love to hear more feedback and learn if people see value in a better Markdown editor than just relying on VS code.
I started with extremely low confidence in LLM, so I've only every asked simple questions on well-covered topics; it hasn't really steered me wrong yet but again that's because of deliberately very conservative use.

(Genuine) Question then: Does "No that's wrong"... every do something? Is there any reason to do so other than having fun arguing? I.e. if it gives wrong answer initially, and the user knows it's the wrong answer... what's the goal/desired outcome in telling it it's wrong and asking it again? Does that goal every get accomplished? What is the confidence in the second answer?

From a less black box perspective, is there any "ELI5" or at least "ELI45" explanation of why it might ever work? :)
Um no. It's decomposed oil or fat and smells bad. The definition includes 'tastes bad'.

Ok we're disputing the definition of 'rancid' which is low-quality discussion. But I think there's only one definition in common use? And it's not 'oxidized'. Maybe the word had been coopted by olive oil people at some point to mean something else? You can't expect the rest of us to understand what's being claimed, if ordinary words have had their meaning changed.
I've got a Skagen Jorn Hybrid watch with an "always on" e-ink screen and it lasts 4 weeks on a charge. I would be severely annoyed at having to charge a watch every day. A "nicer" looking screen is not worth it.
>flexible enough that it's also becoming widely used in climate science.

For scientific instruments just the opposite took place in the 1990's with chromatography.

They adapted a climate file type for laboratory instrument use.

It was quite a saga but in a nutshell it was the manufacturers who well understood the benefit of a common file type once computers had taken enough of a hold. Most lab analyses didn't need a computer except for the most data-intensive, which could never wait and were being handled by mainframes or minis before the PC appeared. Only by those that could afford such costly investments like oil companies and drug companies. Which are some of the most desirable customers for instrumentation.

At the time HP's lab instrument division (spun off decades ago as part of Agilent) had the most agressive sales approach but if a potential customer was already entrenched with one of the few other vendors there was no efficient way to carry their past proprietary data forward into a new system.

So the vendors got together, formed the Analytical Instrument Association (AIA) and began work in earnest toward a common file type they could all agree on for data interchange, without having to abandon each of the file types they had developed earlier which remained in everyday use within their proprietary software.

Once this had been accomplished it would be more of a battle of the salespeople with one less (big) technical obstacle to overcome.

They ended up choosing a well-established extensible file type, netCDF, which was in wide use at NOAA without encumbrance. Tailored it to the task and after a number of years the new standard was almost complete. Major vendors were already supporting it.

Well, by that time HP had already become dominant so they stealthily lost interest for a while before pulling out of AIA completely.

Fortunately with no further progress in sight the whole thing was dropped in the lap of ASTM, where it has remained unchanged for over two decades. That is even more fortunate because hindsight has shown the difference between an ideal standard and a nonideal standard is that an ideal standard never changes, and this is one of the best examples. These are often referred to as CDF files even though that does not stand for Chromatography Data File, they were just named netCDF by the weather service during the mainframe days.

So for more than 20 years each PC chromatography data system has had the capability of handling AIA files for either input or output. The underlying proprietary files which each software package utilizes under the hood for real-time data acquisition may have some unique features, but the common netCDF interchange covers all the essential bases needed for post-processing. Anything less is sub-standard.

Only in the last few years has a major software package appeared which for the first time does not fully support CDF's and that is the latest offering from Agilent of all places.

It can only create optional CDF files from the data acquired by their own instruments, so far there is no allowance for inputting a standard CDF file for processing by their software any more.
The question is: "what software do you need that doesn't exist?".

Your reply contains a lot of things, except an answer.
Don't spend 90% of your time alone in your room doing nothing. Don't assume you have infinite time to do whatever you want at some point. You will never be more free than you are right now, so spend that time doing whatever you can to make your mark on the world and maximize every part of you possible, even if its tough. You will feel far better than following your instinct to take it easy.
All good points, though even the latest Forerunner 965, which has an AMOLED touch screen, gets 7 days of battery life in display-always-on mode, and 3 weeks in default mode (display turns off)^1

I mean, if its truly the same then it sort of defeats the purpose.

That's my way of saying: it is seperate infrastructure

Remember that Cloudflare is probably the second largest DNS Resolver in the world. They aren't just going to tack two IP's onto the same system. The entire system would be completely independent for reasons exactly like what happened today.

My Amazfit GTS 2 mini also manages 2 weeks on battery and it's got an OLED screen that I've set to always on, and it's got a touchscreen. And it's a small and light watch so the battery can't be that big.

I think the biggest battery waste is the full OS. Like the Garmins my watch doesn't have installable apps.

Ps Garmin also sells OLED touch models with long battery life. Like the venu

I have used Garmin's more consumer focused watches for years (currently have a Venu), and get great battery life too. Not two weeks, but a week is not out of the question.

Of course, I've found that after a couple of years the battery life starts to fade fast. Eventually I'm charging it every other day, at which point I usually start shopping for a new one.
Thats... what? Is that a reply to my comment or just markov chaining?
I meant it more as damning the current level of commitment from big corps who could probably afford to dual stack
Modern airliners are tested and engineered to an extremely high degree of reliability.

The manufacturer tells you how many flight cycles the airframe is certified for because they know how much stress cabin pressurization, takeoff, and landing have on the airframe and how long it will take to start developing cracks due to metal fatigue.

In fact they even have specified procedures for hard landings, gear failure landings, excessive G-load events, etc. Such things require specific inspections of specific areas, have specified tolerances for torsion/deformation, and in some cases they reduce the airframe's remaining service life. For example with high-G load event the mechanics must measure the angle of the wings and if there is more than X permanent deflection of the wing the wings must be repaired/replaced.

Emergency landing an airliner in a field is absolutely one of the scenarios covered by both airframe and engine manufacturers. They will have specific maintenance items to check for that along with advice on taking off from the field. I don't know about Airbus but Boeing even offers test pilots and emergency maintenance mechanics for such scenarios. If the airline pays Boeing will checkout the plain, make required repairs, and have their best pilots fly it back to your maintenance depot.
I have the same one, though branded as a Skagen Jorn Hybrid HR. I'm pretty sure it's the exact same watch. I can get 3-4 weeks out of it.

One nice thing about their privacy-invading app is that it works perfectly fine if networking permissions are disabled for it, at least on Android.

It also works with Gadgetbridge, except for sleep tracking. I really want to find the time to add a sleep tracking algorithm to Gadgetbridge one day.

A small improvement I suppose.

This is very cool, but it's gimmicky. All of the rich text could simply be a modifier before or after the word (such as an adjective or phrase). Given most LLM work is plain text, this benefit isn't as neatly transferable as prompt engineering.

400 bucks for a device they refuse to repair if you break it, and refuse to make spare parts. Not a very wise purchase.

When you say "seen as", are you trying to imply that they're wrong? Because what you said can be true without them being wrong at all.

It makes perfect sense that five non-significant changes can add up to a significant change.

So the suggestion would be 1 or 2 releases instead, after more of the changes build up, instead of 5 releases.

Personally I think yearly is fine for manufacturers that only have a couple models. But they need to actually support things for a reasonable lifetime, and should be mocked for having frequent releases if they don't have a good support lifetime.
Per footnote 11, the "monthly sleep analysis" requires the FitBit premium subscription.

I am very hesitant to support a smartwatch that locks features behind a subscription, even though I don't particularly care about the sleep analysis.

I don't really see who this is for anyways. If you want a fitness tracker, you are better off with something from Garmin or FitBit. If you want the best smartwatch experience, nothing comes close to the Apple Watch. The Galaxy Watches are cheaper and have more size/style options.

This is just another copycat product line that exists solely because competitors have them and probably won't exist in 3-5 years.

There are topics where GPT-4 is more likely to be right than wrong.

SERVFAIL might not be a good enough signal for alerting. I definitely see third-party DNS providers returning SERVFAIL for their own reasons; if it's a popular host (looking at you, Route 53), then you'll proxy those through and end up alerting on AWS's issue instead of your own.

They might just want a prober; ask every server for cloudflare.com every minute. If that errors, there are big problems. (I remember Google adding itself as malware many many years ago. Nice to have a continuous check for that sort of thing, which I am sure they do now.)
> It only means programmers commonly talk about it. This isn't the same thing as measuring incidence in production or distribution.

Copilot was primarily trained on GitHub projects, not on communication between programmers. Patterns that frequently show up in Copilot output are most likely prevalent on GitHub, which is a pretty good indicator that they're common in production code.

Not necessarily - I'm no aviator but from my understanding even if there are non-functioning systems the airplane can still fly: https://www.aviationsafetymagazine.com/features/inoperative-...

Here's an example of where that went wrong: https://youtu.be/iMMQ6-OfnL0?t=729

Although I do agree that the aviation industry takes safety very seriously.
The ISS also orbits quite low. If you're relatively close to the path it's only a few hundred miles away. Small temporal window due to the speed, but still.
I'm not sure I'd agree with the interpretation "the scientific name makes the conclusions inaccessible to most readers". It's not that abstruse, and if instead of editorializing the title you had posted a comment to the thread explaining the paper's findings and what's interesting about them, that might have worked fine, and would have stayed within the site rules.

Of course no handful of simple rules can cover the nuances of all cases and I don't mean to say they work perfectly.
It's one of those 400+ airplanes that Russia has stolen from Western leasing companies, most likely if will be just cannibalized for parts.

If you're looking for a criticism, might I suggest, "won't somebody just print their photoshopped photo and then take a picture of that?". This criticism's semantic consistency would allow for such responses as "this could be remediated by signing additional data points such as time, gyroscope reading, and ...".

What I'm suggesting is about unfortunate centralization, the exact ideological antithesis of the technologies you are mock appreciating. I really wish I knew a better way. There's no distributed proof for truth.
Even more difficult to code would be actual driving courtesy.

Just another one of the things that lots of regular drivers don't seem to think is essential either :-/
How about "This bug would have been caught if instead of storing the distance in a float, they stored it in a struct/class that also contained an enum defining the units". Just about any language could handle that.
There's nothing good to be said about people scamming each other in every technological way possible. Other than that hopefully this gives us a new genre of cyberpunk where high tech and low life are achieved in a dog-eat-dog scammer-against-scammer world, rather than authoritarian oppresive corps. It could be quite cool to see this taken to its logical extreme in fiction.
I can’t speak specifically to the Pixel products, but my Apple Watch has significantly reduced notification angst for me.

I limit my watch notifications to the most important ones, allow more on the phone but the mute switch is always on, so I’ll check it when I feel like it.

And because I don’t need to drag my phone out of my pocket when important notifications arrive, I can respond or ignore them with much less literal and figurative friction.
Remember that "AI" doesn't actually mean anything. In this case it seems to mean "perceptual hashing image search".

If the government’s statements and rules/regulations are to have any internal consistency the building should be condemned until brought up to code, and the tenant evicted for their safety.
The article mentions mutual interest could be a subtype of fun, but they wanted to make a distinction between when getting together is the goal and when there's another objective beyond that.

For example with drinking, they seem to think there's enough of a difference between the friends that get together to have a few drinks and the friends that get together to do a wine tasting focused on a region of France.
5 years: yes.

5 decades: probably not.
As with all things, your usage is the thing that matters. I haven’t worn a watch longer than a day even when watch batteries lasted literal years and sleep tracking doesn’t interest me (I sleep like the dead - it’s great). So whether it’s 3, 5, 7 or more… anything after about a day is just a flex and isn’t particularly interesting to me.
You might have to Tomy (Pyuuta) twice
Wonder if they thought about de-icing...
Only that feature is locked behind the subscription. Most people will be satisfied by the included nightly sleep analysis.
Can you define newer? Which watch do you have?

I have a Fenix 6s and with Always On mode it lasts about a week. However, if I record activities, I'll need to charge it that night.

At one point, battery life got really bad but a factory reset fixed it.

And the thing still gets updates years after its release!

I once broke my Garmin bike computer screen and they sent me a new bike computer free of charge. Honestly, I'm a big Garmin fan at this point.
This makes me wonder about training an LLM on one language and then fine tuning it for another. If you train over only, say, JavaScript, and then finetune for C, I imagine it will be quite bad at writing safe code, even if it makes the code look like C, because it didn't have to learn about freeing and such.

Similarly, would it pick up patterns from one language and keep then in the other? Maybe an LLM trained on Kotlin would be more likely to write functional code finetuned.
they can accept the insurance, but if the insurance doesnt pay the bill, the doctor has rendered services w/o payment. That isnt fair to the doctor.

As many other comments point out, insurance companies pull many tricks to try to not reimburse.

- Your claim gets rejected for missing information, but they dont tell you what is missing

- Your claim gets rejected for being a duplicate, but the previous claim also got rejected, or both got rejected

- Your claim is "not received" there is no record of a claim

- Your re-submitted claim gets rejected because 90 days have passed, but of course, it is because you were forced to resubmit over and over

I'm from Pinecone. We use proprietary indexes. We could've used HNSW but decided the high memory consumption (ie, costly at scale) and slow index updates (ie, data gets stale) won't cut it for production use cases.
It’s not ideal, but also not that much of an issue.

And for many the Garmin is not a suitable alternative.

In general I find they're incredible good for being able to rapidly build out search engines for things that would it would normally be difficult to do with plain text.

The most obvious example is code search where you can describe the function's behavior and get a match. But you could also make a searchable list of recipes that would allow a user to search something like "a hearty beef dish for a cold fall night". Or searching support tickets where full text might not match, "all the cases where users had trouble signing on".

Interestingly Q & A is ultimately a (imho fairly boring) implementation of this pattern.

The really nice part is that you can implement working demos of this projects in just a few lines of code once you have the vector db set up. Once you start thinking in terms of semantic search over text matching, you realize you can build old-Google style search engines for basically any text available to you.

One thing that is a bit odd about the space is, from what I've experienced and heard, is that setup and performance on most of this products is not all that great. Given that you can implement the demo version of a vector db in a few lines of numpy, you would hope that investing in a full vector db product we get you an easily scalable solution.
I just don't buy flagship phones, you can get midrange stuff with removable micro sd, oled, >60hz screen etc. Sure the CPU isn't as fast but unless you're playing games it makes almost no difference.
