The crux with a disabled button is discoverability:

What is the user supposed to do to enable it?
If that's the standard, basically everything that comes out of ycombinator is a scam.
Is it even worth trying to differentiate? If you see a modal popover, just close the tab. If it was interesting, it'll get reposted somewhere without the modal.
I'm curious if there's a practical way to replace the offending electronics.

I.e., retain the device's panel, panel driver, chasis, speakers/amplifier, IR receiver, and perhaps power supply.

But replace the computing hardware with something more open?

I guess I have no idea how much custom firmware is needed to really get the most out of such devices. Especially for e.g. getting good color, and avoiding burn-in, on the display.
Well I am just happy that it's not something I did that offended them and caused them to not let me try out GPTs.
Highly recommend installing FLauncher[1] as an alternative to Google's ad-filled TV home screen. Just a nice simple icon grid.

> You would expect Sunni powers to head the opposition to Israel, as 99% of Palestinians are Sunni,

They did. First the UAR and Egypt as the UAR dissolved, later, after Egypt-Israel peace, Iraq took up a role. Iran started backing groups that were more extreme Islamists (though still Sunni) that opposed (and often directly fought) the main anti-Israel Palestinian groups, which ended up themselves as the main fighting groups as the peace process took the PLO off the table as a group actively fighting against Israel, and took up an even bigger role when the destruction of Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq took Iraq off the table entirely, creating both a regional power vacuum and removing the main issue focusing Iran's attention away from Israel.

Cypress changed older versions to block third-party plugins (ignoring lockfiles)
As of yesterday Cypress binaries for older versions started blocking third-party plugins, breaking CI for multiple users. It bypasses package.lock and yarn.lock as it downloads a binary from their CDN when installing.

Like San Francisco used to be more diverse, that’s what I’m getting at. People will argue that point, because the word diversity has taken on different meanings. I’d say there is diverse-diversity and less-diverse-diversity. I prefer one thing, other people are more tribal and prefer that other structure. Both types are needed, but I think we could use a bit more diverse-diversity at the moment, to increase dynamism. Mix things up a bit. At least with respect to the internet.
Here in Spain they've been in there for 2 years. Not even their shows, but for chocolates, perfumes etc
I read the article, they used a lot of adapters. Does that fit in your pocket?

I think you miss my point. There's fancy tech but really nothing new, therefore it's all marketing. GoPro can be used for movie magic, as well, and it fits on a helmet. I've edited on reel-to-reel film once, so I've seen the digital evolution. It's been great!

Also, my other point is Apple will keep designing it as a multi-use touch device, so it won't EVER be a dedicated device for movie making. When will the device be antiquated? When will the apps and OS need updating? When you use it, is there telemetry?
And why not? From the perspective of any individual company, it's free money. Some consumers will leave or switch to other products, but most won't, either because they're already locked into your product ecosystem or because there's no equivalent competitor. So you just need to make more money overall than you lose on the minority of sales or subscriptions that you lose.

Interesting, I was not aware of the 91% vs 98% flaring vs combustion efficiency. Seems like a relatively recent finding based on the Ars article date.

You are correct in that many countries DGAF and just flare/vent the combined equivalent of multiple Texas's. Iraq, for example, flared 16.8 bcm (= 593 billion cubic feet) in 2018.

Unless the housing supply increases this will just be a temporary thing. As long as people are able to make their mortgage payments they typically won't sell their homes at a loss (even if their equity is negative). Some people will always be forced to sell due to life events and that's what will set current market comps. Since mortgage rates have recently spiked upwards people who need a mortgage to buy a home can afford less, so they either aren't buying or are buying a smaller/worse home than they would've previously.

But since most people aren't forced to sell, the available supply will shrink, which will push up prices eventually, until people can sell at a profit again. The rising rates also make it harder for developers to get loans, and lower prices make development projects riskier, compounding the supply problem.
You're confusing strong evidence for causality with establishment and absolute proof of causality. This is even discussed in the sources you've cited (second link). For example here is a quote from one of your sources about the necessity understanding the underlying mechanism before causality can be established:

> A causal mechanism is the process that creates the connection between the variation in an independent variable and the variation in the dependent variable that it is hypothesized to cause (Cook & Campbell, 1979:35; Marini & Singer, 1988). Many social scientists (and scientists in other fields) argue that no causal explanation is adequate until a mechanism is identified.
That matches our experience. They were super pragmatic. Also, their feedback was tough, but always technically grounded and from the perspective of "is the user always well informed?".
only for home row apps. tbh you’re being a lil over dramatic they aren’t ads they are showing a subset of available content. being able to swipe over the Netflix app and get a clean grid of the current top content on Netflix without opening it is a great feature.
Frustratingly, there is also an aria attribute for this, aria-disabled, that does not remove focus, and it should absolutely be added to any button implementing this strategy.

If you're going to follow this article's advice, don't add a [data-submitting] attribute; use the aria-disabled as your selector. A custom data attribute does nothing for screenreaders or blind users who have no idea now whether a given button is disabled or not.
I see a lot of requests to label and possibly remove content, but I see no description of how social media companies were compelled to do so.

Is there any example of a social media company being impacted by refusing to comply with one of these requests?
I think ars goes for fear of the unknown clickbaiting. Ars Technica really has relegated themselves into "hot take of a rando site" territory, which is unfortunate.
It's still profitable, it's just not financially savvy.

This is definitely not the first successful use of ABM against an adversary, just the first case where the interception was above the Karman line. There are many battle-tested ABM systems, such as THAAD (which targets missiles in their terminal phase).

Even though this is a mid-course interception, it's critical that we contrast it with America's GMD (ground-based mid-coure defense). GMD is targeting ICBM payloads, which travel faster and are more likely to have countermeasures. GMD is still unproven for targets without homing beacons on realistic trajectories. Long and the short of it: this doesn't mean America could successfully intercept incoming nukes from North Korea.
I'm aware that yq has a lot more editing features, so it's not apples-to-apples, but I'll also draw ones attention to gojq's --yaml-input flag <https://github.com/itchyny/gojq/blob/v0.12.13/README.md?plai...> (they have yaml out, also, but I use that a lot less often) allowing leveraging the same language for both input formats
> And you had to really work to get a ban in most forums and IRC channels. You had to really step out of line - and continue stepping out of line.

I disagree with this. It was easy to get kicked out of a channel for just being kinda annoying, and then if the mods just didn't like you they can just ban you. Also, like I said, it was normal to channel-ban (i.e. pre-emptively prevent any members from a channel to join yours) notorious channels.

Also yeah I would also kick people talking about "men are not women" just for being off-topic in my channel, which was about computer builds lol. If someone got kicked for being off-topic and came back and continued to be that way they got a ban for being annoying. It was super common to just ban vaguely annoying people.
- and 10 other things people who have no understanding of business like to say these days.

OpenAI cannot make every product and market them to every segment. If you wrap their API and provide a novel UX with precise positioning, there's value there.

OpenAI can copy the underlying collection of features tomorrow morning, but if the positioning is precise enough, you will easily outcompete them.

For an example developers can understand, see managed SaaS: which is a collection of companies raking in billions in revenue from simply wrapping AWS/GCP/Azure in ways that the underlying platforms even end up copying anyways but succeeding because their developer experience is better, or their feature set is better focused, or they're just plain nicer to work with.
The AppleTV app will show Apple TV+ content by default, but once you've logged into other streaming services it will show a variety of content based on things you've watched across all your streaming apps. I suppose showing Apple TV+ content at all is technically "showing ads," but it's about as innocuous as one could imagine.

There are a lot of nuances to assign the gas a value. Our electricity is apparently in the 5-6 cents per kWh range. I did the math recently and running a generator on site can cut that in half. But then you're in the business of running a fleet of hundreds of generators. Is it cheaper per kWh? Yes. But then factor in the cost of mechanics, techs, maintenance, etc. and that bring it close to even. You've also locked yourself into a bad spot if the price of natural gas spikes 3x like it did in summer 2022 with the Russia/Ukraine war and all of a sudden your self-generated electricity is far more expensive than utility and you can't sell any of your gas because you never build the gathering lines to get it to a pipeline.

Yeah, I don't know that the rate of people who "finished" a game is actually very significant.

There are just so many other factors that determine this, unrelated to the game's actual merit.

Cave Story is one of my favorite games ever and I never quite beat that final level. I remember trying it about 10-15 times and then just getting busy with something else in life and I never went back to it.

And I'm okay with that! It was still a wonderful experience! The fact that I only made it 99% of the way through really says nothing about the game itself.
But... it's a chicken and egg problem. People only want to live there because it's nice and uncrowded.
Additionally, if you're willing to resell when you're done with them, you can often get that 'Apple tax' back on the resale price difference.
The meta-disagreement is whether the "now" is all that matters, or whether Israel doing all that is necessary to recover the hostages is a pretext to greater, more sustained Israeli control of Palestinian territory.
From what I've gathered watching Youtube legal videos, Qualified Immunity doesn't apply when the government officials have been explicitly told by a court that their specific behavior is a violation of a right. With this temporary injunction they have so been told.
A lot of people don't really need to go Full k8s, but I think swarm died in part because for many users there was -some- part of k8s that swarm didn't have, and the 'some' varied wildly between users so k8s was something they could converge on.

(note "died in part" because there's the obvious hype cycle and resume driven development aspects but I think arguably those kicked in -after- the above effect)
I've recently been learning about a bunch of sites near Göbekli Tepe and over towards Jericho. It's really fascinating to see the picture that is starting to form regarding the development during those times. I wonder if they did find Gunung Padang to be 20,000 years old if it would even be as impactful in altering the our understanding of timeline of human history as Göbekli Tepe and the other sites of the era have already been. I'm just an archeology fan boy, so maybe I'm completely off base but pushing back the dawn of civilization back 5,000 years before Sumeria was quite the change!
huh - did the machine learn about unions ... and refused to work?
The article seems to discourage disabled buttons for accessibility reasons also.

The article uses the wording “re-enable the button after the API responds”, but doesn’t elaborate on failure/timeout.

There’s other stuff you may want to do, like persist form data. Or if you go with the article’s recommendation of preserving the button, but make it inert, perhaps add some indication to what the request is doing.

There is nothing as a “sufficiently smart” website that altered the browser’s visual language of page loading progress. Meetup.com is doing this to me lately; some links I just don’t know if they’re broken, or my net is being slow, and I’m being impatient.
Are AI articles the next crypto articles?
I was a Roku fanboy until they started installing new apps/channels or whatever on the device without prompting me. Now I simp for Apple TV.
Down again. Bad gateway.
Indeed.

Devices can also ship eSIM too. But at least that comes with bigger cost than just the radio chipset.

I believe 5g can all support meshing. But I don’t know a whole lot about that.

Suffice to say, what little control we have now is going to disappear completely over the next decade.
Until very recently, I used to work in the healthcare industry before switching to a different one. I only got into it because it was hip during covid, until it wasn’t.

The pay is bad and developers are treated like commodities by the upper management. You are expected to understand all the context around building products and at the same time, chase deadlines in every sprint. This usually happens because the business people have no idea how to run a tech company.

Also, the products are usually fraught with technical debt and no one wants to work with the codebase because working on that crap for a longer period of time will just make them unemployable. Healthcare tech is garbage for a reason.

There’s a disconnect between product owners and the engineers working on the product. Smaller teams can usually avoid it if less cross team communication is required to build and maintain the product.

> The people benefitting from the status quo are only those who make money off trading and borrowing fees (banks, realtors), and the occasional person who left a high price area to a low price area.

I think that second category should also include retirees who downsize from their empty nest SFH to a cheaper, smaller condo, which is something that I think happens way more than occasionally.
> You’re right, it’s not that a standard wage can’t even get you an apartment, medical care is astronomical, and the capitalists are ruining everything.

Did you somehow miss word "Spain" in the title and immediately proceeded with US-specific rant?

Additional info from Wikipedia[0]:

> As of 2020, according to the World Economic Forum and to Bloomberg, Spain has the most efficient health system in Europe, and also ranks at the top worldwide along with Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore.

> Due to universal health care coverage, inequality is reduced substantially. Inequality in Spain is even further reduced in that co-payments do not usually apply, limited to special medicines and services that are not covered by the National Health System.

And yet socialist Spain has fertility rate of 1.3 compared to 1.7 of dystopian capitalist-driver privatized-healthcare-only US [1]. I'm sure everyone buying a house every year and enjoying even better health care in such countries as Niger, Chad and Somalia that somehow on top of the fertility list though.

Redis should be able to handle tens of thousands of reads/writes without much issue on contemporary hardware.

Every request that comes in contains a random "idempotency token" (can be in a hidden form field) and upon reception the server checks the previous value & sets the key if it's not there (GETSET command on Redis should do it?)

The presence of the previous value indicates whether this token was handled already (if so it means duplicate request and return an error/etc), and setting the value will ensure any subsequent duplicate request will get rejected.
I envy anyone this works for. For me, white noise is just even more noise.
How many of those civilians were ex-military (all?), how many were settlers in stolen land? If you knowingly occupy someones stolen land you are not that innocent are you?

And, Israel does not have the right to defend itself. Israel is the settler aggressor. The biggest terrorist is Israel. Israel is a settler colonial racist Apartheid regime.
I completely agree that there is no relationship at all between the two. Hucksters are gonna huckster no matter what the medium is.

If you want to ask "are LLMs the next metaverse" or something.... implying LLMs are over-promising on their utility and the hype is all driven by the companies controlling the tech.... even that is a stretch but makes more sense.

Anyone selling you AGI, or "make money on youtube by typing a sentence into this prompt" is probably a crypto scammer who found a new group of people to scam.
From the article they have this angle covered too, though I don't know whether the judge specifically ruled on it as well:

> and the NYPD instituted its policy without following the Citywide Administrative Procedure Act, which specifies the steps a City agency must take before it can put a new rule in place.
That is a succinct and well-stated expression of my opinion at present, so here's an upvote. I like that it also leaves the door open for the corrollary that it's going to change the world, but we barely know how, and we have no idea about the second- and third-order effects yet.
I've seen a few other apps display content in the same way. Seems like it's just an 'underused' feature, rather than a private API.

Although I'm generally favorable towards crypto, the biggest difference is that unlike crypto, AI, especially in the form of LLMs and image models are extremely idiot-friendly.

No, I don't mean it in a derogatory way: crypto leaves a lot of loose ends to be tied up by everyday humans who just want to be left alone - oh, and if anything goes wrong once, your fortune could be lost and there's no one to complain to.

AI, on the other hand, is already making its way into browsers like Microsoft's Edge where I can ask it to generate all kinds of ideas, images, summaries, etc. via the chat format everyone is already friendly with. Likewise, GPT3 & 4's first major applications that took off was ChatGPT that brought AI chat to noobs and you don't need to be a hacker bro to use that.

In contrast, the first time I downloaded Metamask and tried to buy USDC, I quickly found out that there are different versions (correct me if I'm wrong) of this single cryptocurrency hosted on the Polygon, Ethereum, Avalanche, etc. blockchains.

What's that even supposed to mean to a beginner who wants to send money to a third-world country in minutes? And, remember: one wrong step and you could possibly lose everything.

A hypothesis of HN (and similar) comments:

We each are welcome to our beliefs, of course, but unless we provide some basis for them - especially evidence - what value do they provide to others? That basis is the value; its strength is the strength of the comment. The opinion itself has no real substance; it's directions for how the author might navigate the substance (the basis); it's a sign that points out what we perceive as valuable.
Not sure how you can say this with a straight face. I get spammed all the time on iMessage. Who cares if it is a blue or green bubble, it’s still spam.
They called it javascript, but it was not. Not even very similar.
It depends on your perspective. I would argue that the space race was fundamentally about two superpowers racing to develop the ability to accurately deliver munitions anywhere via suborbital trajectories. The fact that we got scientific probes out of it is sort of a happy accident and PR play.
I really hope they don’t just continue to use the same methods by crunching data, they need to create different little startups and come up with something creative to find these things
