As they have identical sub pixel layout they very likely come from the same factory.

I think one side of the mother glass has a few extra pixels that you can just not cut off and end up with the 80 pixels more on one direction?

If you start from a panel that cuts perfectly to 8K or 4K TV panels and you keep halving it won't go down evenly to 720p as it is not half of 1080p (1440p is half of 4K and 1080p is half of 1440p so they come out nicely without any wasted panel/pixels by cutting in half)

> let's just say that it'd be wise to never ever fuck with us.

Words one can only live by. "Damsels in distress" are the stuff of fairy tales. I get the impression we condition girls to think they're helpless so they don't rise against us. Women are formidable opponents.

> According to a study of relationships that engage in nonreciprocal violence, a whopping 70% are perpetrated by women.

...and because men haven't been fighting back, the definition of "violence" has drifted. You stop yourself from throwing that punch and instead yell at her. No threats or assault, no raised fist-- just "what the fuck, cut it out you goddamn bitch." Yelling anything is now "verbal aggression," making you intimidating. And just because you're a big strong man who could inflict bodily harm, you're automatically physically threatening. You Monster. The verbiage is very specific-- any woman (except Chyna) can call any man "intimidating and physically threatening" and have it be a true statement.

The article is from 2007. Despite having sat through most of a major in criminal justice (four years of being told all of the FBI's statistics are wrong), a decade before that I had my eyes opened by a police instructor trying to instill in us just how dangerous domestic disputes were to respond to so we knew what to expect.

He had broken protocol by responding alone to a call from a neighbor about a disturbance between a couple. He was allowed inside the house, separated the parties and interviewed them. The man had defensive wounds, but the woman denied hitting him and the man did not implicate her. She also had defensive wounds, which the man acknowledged he had inflicted. Both parties were obviously throwing punches at each other, but with only his admission of guilt, only he would be going to jail. As the instructor was reading the man his rights, the woman realized what was about to happen, came up behind the officer and clocked him over the head with a rolling pin to try to stop the Police from taking Her Man away. The signs that she was a violent woman were all there, but we're conditioned to think women aren't violent, so they went overlooked.

Women are disproportionately victims of murder. The amount of battery and emotional abuse they inflict up to that point is grossly underreported. In the instructor's example (and in my own experience) men will very often cover for or conceal the offenses of women, which gives women a reputation of "purity" that is undeserved.

I agree. There is more of us by the day. Don't worry, Apple is going to feel it soon enough.
We will see in 10 years, Apple strategy will look very stupid because you will be able to get what are today's 2.5K powerful gaming computers for about 1K. Apple computers will be like Porsches, very nice and all but unless you got free money, really not something most people would consider buying. In other words, a niche; very pretty, but still a tiny market.
As a related aside: does anyone know of any companies or processes by which one can get low volume (think prototyping volume, i.e., single digit quantity orders) custom OLED screens? Bonus points if the OLEDs are able to be custom laser cut (the same process as the "hole punches" that are in smartphone screens).
I worked with some coworkers who emigrated to the USA a few years back. They all shared similar fears about the US Healthcare system. Once we showed them how it worked, how to use our insurance company's website, and how to confirm that services were authorized they had no real problems.

HN, Reddit, and the rest of the internet have become really good at sharing horror stories, but increasingly many of those horror stories are either misleading or based on old laws that no longer apply. A popular trick on Reddit is for people to post the part of their bill that goes from their provider to the insurance company and say "This is how much it costs to have a baby in the United States!". However, nobody actually pays the amount that gets billed to the insurance company. They pay an amount determined by their insurance deductible, co-pay, and out of pocket maximum. Once you go past the out of pocket maximum for a year, everything is covered 100% in network.

We even recently had new laws against surprise billing, which plugs many of the holes that created those horror stories about going into a hospital and discovering you were out of network after the fact. Technically there are still holes where this can happen, but if you look carefully most of the horror stories online are from many years ago.

Is the system perfect? Of course not. However, in practice people aren't going bankrupt every time they go to the doctor like you'd think from Reddit posts. When it comes to pre-authorizations, these tend to get negotiated between your doctor's office and the insurance company. Doctors offices know how to push pre-authorizations through if they want to put in the effort, but many some will shrug it off because it's not billable time for them.
Are you currently functionally limited by your typing speed? No? You're probably fine.

As another ML researcher I'll second this. When I review papers for conferences it takes me hours to review a work that's in my niche. It's because you can't skim a paper unless it is exceptionally good (lol) or has major flaws. A single sentence often holds the magic keys to making an algorithm work, and I don't think many would realize this unless they try to reproduce works from the paper alone (not using lucidrains or the official implementation). Even lucidrains makes some of these mistakes. And yes, even in my own niche, I go back and reread papers that are key references to make sure I didn't forget key details and understand the exact limitations the authors are addressing. The main thing is that the closer it is to my exact same niche the fewer reference papers I have to read (because I know which ones matter) and the faster I can read those papers. It's ensuring I am not forgetting key nuances of specific datasets or specific metrics that are used, because not keeping these in mind will trick me into wrong conclusions. This is what's required if I want to give a quality review. It's what's required if I see myself as on the same team as authors (team science) and helping them make the best work they can.

But I'll admit that there's a lot of pressure for me to stop doing this. A big part being that it's very clear my reviewers are not prescribing to this tactic. Rather I think many reviewers are not concerned with the rigor of their reviews. That they do not see themselves on the same team but rather antagonistic (team conference/team journal) and that their job is to filter. But I think an issue is that in ML you get an advantage if you are reject heavy and lazy in reviewing. Not only do you save on the time it takes to review but since it is a zero sum game you ever so slightly increase the odds of your own work being accepted. Honestly I do not feel the process is very scientific. Even the new CVPR LLM rules are a joke. More signaling than solutions. I just wonder if people care about the science anymore.
I'm sure some combination of incentives created this; I wonder which ones.
Show HN: Suggest.gg – A free product roadmap tool aimed toward content creators
As a content creator who makes programming tutorials and courses, I get a ton of ideas and suggestions on a regular basis.

For a while I just chucked them into a Notion board to keep track of them, and it worked decently but lacked something I really wanted: community feedback. So, I took inspiration from product roadmap apps and built this!

Suggest.gg is a tool to help content creators like myself organize their ideas and suggestions, and get feedback in the form of votes and comments. This way, I can tell what my audience is most hungry for and what they'd want to see from me next.

It comes with a dashboard and public profile, and has a 100% free tier that includes unlimited ideas, submissions, and votes. Would love to hear your thoughts!

I just bit the bullet and moved to Wayland. I've heard mixed things about people on 10-series hardware, but things work pretty well on my 3070Ti. My guess is that the drivers are slightly different across generations, and parity still hasn't been a priority. I decommissioned my 1050 back in my x11 days, I wish I could tell you how well it worked with my current setup.

I'm also running everything on NixOS, so assume there's a fair bit of fairy dust blessing the config. Besides enabling modeset and cudatoolkit manually though, I don't think there's much special about my software setup.
Wow yes indeed! That is surely a vastly different world than the one I am referring to 3 decades on, but either way I bet it was a very good time and place to be doing philosophy!

Part of me just wants to get rid of my phone if I get a device that does the actually useful things. Get info about something, checks and sends messages in a smart way, checks the bus.

But then I'd prefer an open source Wikipedia/Wikimedia like organisation behind it.

Go can be `tuple[User | None, Exception | None]` or `tuple[User, Exception | None]`, depending on whether you're returning a pointer. But yea, Go's approach has its warts. Like if you aren't returning a pointer then you need to return the zero value (e.g. `User{}`) even when returning an error
Is this motivated reasoning from the perspective of an OS vendor?

lol tell Subaru owners about this. There are tons of them complaining of batteries going dead the last few years, just from sitting a few days in the driveway, while the always-on cellular is at edge of range, hunting. Subaru's solution to this has been to in some cases pay for a bigger battery for those customers.
As a civilization we have been capable of that multiple times in multiple places. Those technologies are not lost. In fact there are now new reactor projects that are simplified from older ones that could be built potentially fast.

People generalize a lot! There are a large variety of nuclear reactors. Even construction projects of the same design vary somewhat.
These don't seem like real issues to me. They are the exact same issues you have when you are talking to humans. And the way we solve that issue with humans is that we only have conversations around other humans that we are comfortable having. We save sensitive conversations for when we are not in public.

So what, you want students be actually employed and be producing something? I don't think that's going to work.

So at around 13 I'd say that I was about the only one of my 30-ish classmates that was actually producing something that resembled working code. I coded a whole functional (but simple) sprite editor in QBASIC that could write PCX files.

But honestly, that code was complete crap. I was barely figuring out what functions were good for, because most of that was being self-taught by reading the manual and trial and error. And compared to my classmates that was top 1% stuff.

Nobody actually wants stuff like that for any serious purpose. No company wants that code, or being saddled with a few dozen teenagers, some of which are completely useless. And that goes for all fields. Who out there needs a human to do trigonometry these days? What about history, or literature? What does production there look like? Do we grade them based on likes and reviews on fanfiction.net?

Can't help but think this is dead on arrival, wearable tech doesn't have a good track record.

That said, I hope they keep pushing, I guess.

Tell HN: Google will require devs to show a phone number for Google Play users
I have just received an email about the upcoming Google Play account verification deadline. In the developer console, there was a message saying that I will need to provide "a contact phone number for Google Play users to contact you (organisations only)".

I'm a solo developer, and my Android app has a few hundred thousand users. It's grown way beyond a hobby project, so now I’m in the "organization account" category.

These changes have been discussed before [0], but as far as I can tell, it wasn't clear if that phone number was was just for Google to get in touch with us. The latest update clarifies that displaying a contact number for Google Play users is indeed mandatory.

Does anyone know more about this? Are all developers that offer more than hobby projects now required to offer phone support for their apps? The idea of this is really stressing me out.

Classic Mac used this for some toolbox traps as well. Most apps used a jump table at some offset from the A5 register, which looked like:

addr: _LoadSeg
dc.w segmentNumber
dc.w segmentOffset

The _LoadSeg trap would ensure that 'CODE'(segmentNumber) was loaded from disk and then modify the jump code @addr to become an absolute JMP (0x4ef9 + 32 bits) and then set the PC back to @addr and return from the trap. There was also an _UnloadSeg mechanism that would reverse this!

We are arranging deck chairs on the Titanic with the dystopian US health system. Like who here legitimiately believes this is a good system?

The entire system is an exercise how capitalism fails where there's inelastic demand. Health insurance companies exist to extract wealth from consumers and governments by not providing health care to increase profits. It's that simple. There is a direct link between denying prior authorizations and increasing profits [1].

Fun fact: Obamacare (ie the ACA) snuck in a ban on physician-owned hospitals [2] thanks to lobbying efforts. Just more artificial barriers and rent-seeking to increase profits.

Health insurance companies continue to consolidate (eg requiring prescriptions are filled by their PBM-approved pharmacists, buying up medical providers).

It is utterly insane to me that anyone can defend this system who isn't a major shareholder in United healthcare. Yet ordinary people do, which usually comes down to "I don't want to lose my insurance", which is so insanely short-sighted and selfish, it blows my mind.

Yes, but an important distinction lies between every single economic system vs every implemented economic system. Extrapolating universal human behavior under the latter is, as I'm sure you would agree, tempting, but easily to blunder.
Highly reducing just means you can do far more with the same resources.

I don't know about you but my team's backlog is virtually endless. If AI/LLM/whatever can automate away a ton of dev work, that doesn't mean we're going to fire 90% of our team. It means we might have a glimpse of being able to actually make a dent in all the work that we want to do but can't.
Ha, I once created a web framework in classic ASP that was inspired by QBasic - you’d use pure HTML templates but in handlers you’d write LOCATE statements using XPath selectors instead of screen coordinates, followed by PRINT statements to actually fill in the content of an element. Never tried to actually write it in QBasic itself though. Nice work!
