you either let a company like eBay manipulate prices or you have to put up with some of the human element of a marketplace which does include scams.

I have never once been a victim of a scam because I'm smart enough to identify them and be extremely careful when exchanging money on line.

That's great unless you are working with a codebase that spans decades and tens of millions of lines of code. At that point if for every assignment you are tracing through your data types manually - you are out of a job.

Also, if I am using an API another team is providing - I don't want to have to go and trace through their code.

The app iScanner really does work very well. The glare and shadow issues are trivial to solve with good CV these days, the resulting documents are pretty damn close to a hardware scan.

Show HN: Hummingbird – ChatGPT for macOS (build while learning Swift)
Hi everyone, I recently built Hummingbird, help you quickly get answer for anything, powered by OpenAI GPT.

Part of building this is for me to learn SwiftUI, which I started to love it. It became handy to get quick answer when I don't have to google, or go to chatgpt.

Features

- Access the web (read content when enter a URL)
- Web search (optional, via Google Programmable Search)
- Render content in markdown (list, quote, code, etc)

It's free to use, and require OpenAI API Key.
But focus instead on productivity, by dividing these figures by a tally of hours worked, and the gap closes further. As a result of demography—western Europe has a larger share of elderly people than America does—and because of differences in holiday allowances, pensions and unemployment benefits, Europeans work less than Americans do.

The real story
Hand over the PCMCIA Card, Sir
It's not trusted in the US either.
Australia's somewhat similar too. I wouldn't call our government services optimal nor "simple", but it's clear they're all operating on the same design principles. At the very least it inspires confidence that they're operating on roughly the same guidelines at federal and state levels.
It's a bigger factor than what many realise. Removing top tech performers from S&P drops its performance to less than half, and that figure itself is around half of the historical S&P average.

Annualised 5 year performance of S&P was around 15% (12% is the long term average). Taking away FAANG reduces it to just 7%.

Worth stating is that these companies are also a significant source of unwanted volatility.

The performance of US tech companies are such a run away success that economists remove them as outliers to get a better picture of how things really are.

We basically have two economies, they will certainly only further diverge.

The point is, that it's simpler. Is complicating worth it?
Sure in terms of purchasing power of the middle class I suspect you are right. More holistically, in terms of access to good healthcare, education, safety (both physical and financial), culture, free time, quality of the built environment, livable cities, general health level, etc. it seems to me Europe is better off than US.
Businesses understand their clientele. In a free market, businesses like Gucci might elect to go cashless, while grocery stores, gas stations, and local government will continue to take cash without being forced to since it is in their economic interest to do so.

You'll really need to come with some backup of your claims.

Because it simply isn't true. FP has been around for 10 years now, making phones, learning, scaling up. They sold close to a million phones every year since 2020 (last year over 1100000 phones). And while a million phones isn't much compared to iPhones or Pixels, it's bigger than many other small phone companies (Chinese or not).
They've been diversifying with headphones, and earbuds. And with t he last edition, they finally felt confident with supply chains to guarantee spare parts for decades to come.
As I said, it proves nothing, and I just made the same argument that we can't really know because we're stuck inside in another comment. So let me violently agree with your comment.

The best we could hope for would be someone popping their metaphorical head in and telling us there's an outside and then show us, but that just gives rise to the question of whether that "outer universe" is simulated or not, so infinite regress here we come.

Ultimately we just have to accept that we can never conclusively prove whether we're in the "outermost layer", and we can only prove we're not if we somehow "escape" and can look in on our own universe from the outside and for what we know we're in an unexploitable simulation, so the lack of evidence of either certainly does not prove the other and we're left wildly speculating and it's not very useful.

But that doesn't make the mechanisms less interesting to explore, and for me it's mostly a series of fun thought experiments, and your voxel example to me is a good illustration of what an interesting rabbit hole it is even if it doesn't lead to anything practical.

For me it was an interesting one because the simulation argument is really a rehashed variant of Berkeley's philosophical idealism, and the same conflict with materialism exists for the simulation argument as with respect to Berkeley: We can speculate about it, but since we can't prove it, day to day we need to act on the assumption we live in a material world. If someone pops their head in to inform us we're in a simulation, then sure, then we can reasses.

Until then it's an entertaining diversion.

EDIT: I'll add one caveat, though: You're right in as much as talking about what we can say about a simulation by looking at our universe, but the core of the original simulation argument is much more pared back. It's an argument that if we can run simulations and eventually do, then statistically we are more likely to be in a simulation. Or to pare it back further: If there are 3 or more "realities" and 2 of them are simulation, then we are more likely to be in one of the simulated ones than the single "real" world. What that boils down to, then, is how realistic you think it is that someone will simulate this time period, and we can assert some limited things about that if we get to the point of running our own realistic simulations. But until/unless we get there, we can't really assess the odds, and even if we can show that such simulations are common, you're of course still right that it won't prove whether we are in one or not.
Since everyone is sharing their similar stories - I had a dell laptop at boarding school and by my senior year it was on its last legs. My friends played a lot of League of Legends and my laptop would overheat, cut off, and my friends would lament that I went afk for the 5 min it took to reboot and relaunch the game. So naturally I started wrapping an ice pack in a washcloth and placing that under my laptop whenever I played a game. Was always nervous about water damage but I luckily was able to avoid that.
Sorry to break it to you like this but a lot of hacking in the past was explicitly for illegal reasons. Do we hop on HN to scold phreakers every time such an article comes up? No -- so this is a double standard.
Yep, this is one of those arguments that might make sense only in a very literal reading of the law. Because if the unit isn't approved for occupancy, she shouldn't be living there at all, rent or no rent.

Towards the end of the life of my NES it started to overheat after maybe an hour of use. I remember being very stressed trying to defeat bosses in legend of zelda and save as quickly as possible. For whatever reason, mild graphical corruption would start to appear for awhile prior the system resetting itself so I usually knew I didn't have much time left.

If I were smarter I probably would have just disassembled the NES and cleaned it but I was a dumb kid at the time so I just lived with it.

this is very simplified and if there's a continuing trend then the first has an an abundance of money and the second just has a bit.

I don't think the critique is fair at all. These are statistics over a population, of course it's meaningless at first for the individual but that's just because of the noise. In the long run there's an impact.
If landlords could raise prices to make more money, why wouldn't they already be doing that? Rents aren't priced based on landlord expenses. Otherwise we'd see rents plummet when a landlord pays off their mortgage.
I think this was the issue, but it wasn’t 2018 when it I ran into it (looking at some notes it seems like 2020, not 2021).

To me all this indicates is that your productivity is measured in amount of trivial non-novel problems solved per time, likely in a pretty isolated environment, and a common tech stack. This is not a common setup, if accurate
Probably further out of the loop than you, but for what its worth:

I've just done a couple of static HTML generator projects, using python, Markdown and Jinja2. I played with mod_python and apache for the server but haven't got any excuse to use dynamic page generation yet.

"web developer" is no longer the nice neat definition it once was. Today you can honestly say that about your static pages with no server or browser side code; as well as the massive "application suites" that touch dozens of "technology stacks" and can't be made to produce the same output for the same inputs, ever.

The tooling is available for the whole range, so you might do better to specify more what kind of web development you're aiming at.
Europe can (and does to some degree) solve this issue the same way we do here in Canada: high immigration rates.

It has downsides, esp to the xenophobes, but in the long run, redistribution/migration of populations from the south -- where climate change is going to have the most serious impacts -- is just going to be part of life.

The pop-up allows you to switch off certain functionality (statistics cookies). If that functionality wasn't there in the first place, the pop-up would not be needed.

Don't shoot the messenger.
Simple wire protocols, including cryptographic ones, are not concerning. They are easy to validate and do not operate on complex inputs, which is why something like Wireguard can exist in the kernel.

The issue is complex super-protocols like TLS, with handshakes, negotiations, numerous operational modes and so forth. Splitting this so the kernel only sees a simple wire protocol - with anything involving complexity and decision-making happening in user-space - removes any concern.
Isn't that consistent with operating any other kind of business?

That seems a pretty good summary. I wouldn't use a phone as my daily driver with banking apps etc. if it were out of support, but as a spare phone or something to be used primarily for specific purposes like a GPS? Sure.

Per another comment, a badly swollen battery is a physical safety issue and that point, the battery should either be replaced or the phone recycled.

In general, I also agree with the article that buying older refurb models isn't clearly good economy. There are advantages to have a not too old backup phone around. Indeed, I'm using my old iPhone X at the moment after my newer phone broke.

You can't scare google with antitrust.

The game is structured. If Google lose, they face an affordable fine or mandated adjustment to a single business practice. In this case, the business practice is "OEM Search Deals" which has been litigated before. The practices is profitable and strategic enough to take the heat.

IMO, antitrust was entirely declawed by the "US vs MSFT" settlement in 2001. It's a similar case. An operating system with 90% market share using their position to dominate key parts of the application market. We now know this as the "platform strategy." Something that investors demand from CEOs, as opposed to a legal risk to avoid.

For the young.... "US vs MSFT" was the high profile case(s) of the 90s. Software was known to be monopoly prone and the case was expected to reveal what was and wasn't allowed.

MSFT litigated similar antitrust cases in the early 90s, and settled. The key term of this era was "bundling." MSFT concluded that antitrust was a cost of doing business. MSFT continued bundling to reserve key application markets for itself. Gates rubbed it in. DOJ took offence and went on a warpath.

DOJ pursued real antitrust. MSFT was found guilty of monopolism and the court actually ordered a "breakup." Seems far fetched today. The model for monopoly "breakups" was the 80s breakup of Bell (telcom). Shock! Insanely aggressive by today's standards. We can't even conceptualise how a breakup of a big tech today would work.

Anyway... doj flinched. They settled the appeal. OEMs were freed from MSFT exclusivity. Real antimonopolism was off the table, and never returned.

I don't really blame them. Breaking the monopoly of a tech giant could, and likely would, decimate their value. Bell was a telcom. Physical and concrete. WTF does "breaking up Google" actually mean? How can a judge do this task.
I don't disagree with your basic premise, but in this case, the tenant appears to be refusing access to rectify the problems.

And if the residence isn't fit for occupancy, then nobody should be living there, rent or no rent. While apparently legal, the dissonance required to argue "I won't pay rent because the home isn't fit for purpose" while living long-term in that same house makes my eye twitch.
> Valve has adopted the stance that any game with even a hint — literally just a whiff — of AI generated content will be instantly rejected from steam with no explanation beyond "it appears your game contains AI generated content." They say nothing beyond that.

Apple does not backport all security fixes and they never have, and what they do backport they do on a delayed schedule. It's not clear whether they have an actual policy that determines what gets backported or whether it's just a judgment call, but the consequence is that indeed on any Apple device the most secure OS is the current OS.

They will however backport fixes for particularly egregious security issues quite far. For example, iOS 12 got a fix for a web-based remote code execution attack in the beginning of this year, despite at that point being over 4 years old and 4 major releases older than the current iOS.
I have no idea what happens when I put data through these models and how they work.

My thought was it may have been trained on so much JSON and JSON schema data, that simply providing a JSON schema and telling it the data it outputs must validate against the schema will produce good results.

> realloc() is your best bet. And no, it won't move your memory around into larger areas every time you call it.

That’s true.

> Most of the time it will simply bump up the allocation end point

That depends on your allocator and usage patterns. I would think that, in real world usage, it will reallocate fairly frequently, but don’t have and can’t find data on that.

Reason is that I would expect the allocator to, normally, allocate blocks tight together and most reallocations to grow the size by more than the granularity of the memory allocator (which typically is in the order of 16 bytes)

The latter often applies too if you “don't use allocated_length and used_length seperately in dynamic vectors. Simply realloc() every time one element is added”

Or am I wrong? How large is your initial alloc?

Edit: slab allocators may show such good behavior.
Head of the country Barack Obama literally apologized for bombing the Kunduz hospital ? Will anything change if they admitted to or not ?
I think this is not true in most of the cases. The (security) technology behind the debit/credit cards using the SmartCard chip (IC) is pretty ubiquitous. It is the same as the security technology guarding the SIM cards in your phone and even your eSIM. Basically the protocols and the interface specifications are the same. In the end, they are just smart cards. Imagine this technology not being strong enough, because I remember the days when the security of the pre-paid public phone cards was quite rabish and any kid with some skills and knowledge could forge a card with unlimited credit.

It very happens that the father of the smart card technology to be a french guy [1] and the current biggest provider of this technology is the french aero-space/defense/security company Thales Group[2] followed by another frech company called IDEMIA.

There is a very nice biography of the technology [3].
