The Legacy of Amazon's 1-Click Checkout Patent
For video you typically set shutter speed to half a frame. The most common frame rate is 24FPS, so you get 1/50 shutter speed. It’s lousy for a photo, but good for video , since you want motion blur, so that the video isn’t janky. You control light through ND filters and LED/tungsten lights, not through shutter speed, since shutter speed affects motion blur and you want to make that choice independently of exposure.

120FPS is good for sports or wildlife, but those are special. For normal stuff, 24FPS is good. And even with wildlife, you’re probably not recording at 120FPS all the time, only during quick action. Otherwise you’re just wasting space on your memory card with identical frames. Battery as well.
I think it would be easier to get another full-time job and just exploit them both for as long as you can.
While FB had the same badge color for TVCs and FTEs, everything else was exactly the same. I later saw the red/white badge dichotomy at Google and thought that the explicitness of it was a bit better.
Where else does your stuff go to space and make headlines regularly?
Currently only for unstructured (OCR) text to structured text conversion.

We're transitioning from a legacy codebase full of regexes and undocumented functions that are understood only by the developer and god. The developers left and I don't believe in god.
We tried throwing the unstructed mess to GPT, alongwith a few examples and got surprisingly good results.
what was that trainer kit?

i'd very much like something i can buy that would look like this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3e/MYSTEM_86.JPG

there's just something about self-contained hardware that you can program from scratch that really appeals to me.
I don't think that is what reported here, they just say that if you have a lot of data and you want the model to be better at that domain, you can collaborate with OpenAI because both parties are interested.
I couldn't agree with you more. The release strategy was...confusing? I guess is the best way to word it. But even this launch video which is supposed to introduce this groundbreaking new device to replace the smartphone feels homemade. The speaking is unnatural and too practiced, the awkward silences of waiting for a response feel uncomfortable. For a company named Humane, I'm getting uncanny valley vibes.

But I also understand this is how many new technologies releases go (lots of WTFs and lots of oohs and aahs). I think it really has potential, but the team will have to be adaptive and quick to respond to make sure the Pin can really grab hold of what the consumer wants.
Another way to reduce bandwidth costs!
I thought Steam Deck used Proton, which allowed that stuff to mostly work without modification, even when running on Linux? (basically Wine+extras)
Because their customer, the US navy, is the world's least price sensitive customer. That does not translate into competitive products on cutthroat markets.
"Dirigible" re-directs to the "Airship" on wikipedia, and the dictionary also considers them to be synonyms. I think "dirigible" is just considered to be a dated term and to not add anything.
I think this product is DOA.

But, like the Apple Vision Pro (which I don't think is as DOA as this), I'm most curious to know where this goes in 5-10 years.
> it seems kinda weird that the OLED is the same resolution?

Given the specifications of the rest of the device, I'm extremely happy the resolution remained the same! A bump to 1080p or similar would make games on the limited CPU/GPU that much harder to run at a reasonable frame rate while keeping a sharp image. This does not strike me as weird in the slightest - it's common sense to do here.

Not to mention how much hotter the device would run - you would be spending much more time at 15w+ in many titles, which is where the Deck starts to get hot/noisy fans spinning, and of course battery life drops.
What rural people think about clean energy
Unfortunately, that is outside my area. I just always refer these questions to accountants.
I know someone who had 2 FT remote engineering jobs for a bit last year. It only lasted about 4 months before the plate-spinning got to be too much and he ended up with just one of the jobs. And then because his performance had been kind of spotty while juggling the two jobs his review wasn't great and he lost that one too.
I know this is a low-quality comment, but this may be the #1 thing Hacker News has taught me over the last decade: USA health/insurance system is an Orwelian nightmare multiplied by a hundred. No straight-up evil guy with a vision and mission statement could imagine and successfully implement something as brutal as apparently we've systemically created ourselves through a million small steps.

I'm a bright guy but I don't know how I'd live with the cognitive workload, stress and uncertainty over having to deal with all of this (the networks, the uncertainty over price and bills, the bills coming for weeks and months after care, the myriad involved parties, the rules and limits and interpretations and just... everything). More to the point, I don't understand how anybody, on any party or political spectrum, can say "Yup... this is a reasonable system that helps people and needs no change".
a new post for https://ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com/ ;)
Oh yeah, I didn't dive deep enough into it but yeah, there's absolutely that aspect of feeling "owed" or otherwise not having sympathy for those they are taking from. Sometimes there's a "I need it more than they do", or "they can easily afford to replace it", or less charitably there can be more of a "they deserve to have their stuff taken", "they're part of the system that ruined my life", a mindset of resentment and entitlement...
As someone close to the insurance industry I suspect this would just lead to a revolving door of Doctor Nicks that get cushy jobs for life and sip margaritas by the pool while their "reputation is ruined" - we need a better approach than this like (similar to Canada) having national guidelines for treatment that for the payer to act responsibly. You don't want to know just how many bodies UHC is willing to throw under a bus in order to make .5% more money.
You make a good point. I was a lurker on the "RealTesla" and "Teslamotors" subreddits during the whole 2016-2020 saga. So many nutjobs on both sides of the aisle. And more importantly, both sides were very wrong on some things and very right on other things. That was the take away I got from that era.

> Far too many companies are designed as management empires instead of as engineers-as-drivers of change

Well said.

I'll just say that all companies (at least, large US-based ones) are like that. Every single one of them.

The trick is to have a 'management empire' that's large enough that it spans most of the required functions. That way at least some engineers are able to move inside the fiefdom and not bump heads against some other high level manager's domain.
Gotta love that they know how people tinker with their devices:

Rear cover screws now thread into metal

Adjusted rear cover screw heads to Torx™, as well as other materials and geometry tweaks on the heads to reduce stripping risk

Lowered number of screw types throughout system

Reduced step count required for common repairs

Improved bumper switch mechanism drop reliability

Moved bumper switch to joystick board for easier repair

Improved display repair/replacement to not require taking rear cover off
thank you for mentioning this.

i was a red badge. it was fucking demeaning. i have a lot of stories, but my favorite was when everyone on my floor got an earthquake safety kit except me. literally google didn't care if i lived or died.

the expectation was that if i sucked up enough ("demonstrated my value") they MIGHT make me a real boy, like some bizarre Velveteen Rabbit fetish game.

i loved watching how Google would continuously pat themselves on the back about how good they are to "their employees," and then openly shit on the people who worked full time at the company but technically weren't FTEs.

it's a caste system. a company that behaves this way should be run out of town with extreme prejudice. but instead they somehow took over San Francisco.
2014, but still interesting - I wonder how things have changed with more WFH. (And also, from what I hear, with the Red Line basically not working these days?)
Huh, interesting. He is known for not having any equity in OpenAI - interesting that he has other AI investments instead.
Let's be real. At some point someone (a government like China) will train a model on all available copyrighted materials and will have a huge advantage in this field. Something needs to be done. Not sure if a private company like OpenAI should be one who's doing it though
I think the example is perfectly apt, and I would not know where to start wrapping a std::list/std::vector implementation to pick up on runtime iterator invalidation.
Damn, I wish they did an APU upgrade as well (I mean generation upgrade, not just node)...
MLS naming is the worst!

Originally, it was perfectly normal North American naming convention, $PLACE $NOUN. Then sometime in the aughts, they started bringing in boring European names, and worse yet, just aping them for no reason. Only the pretentious call soccer “football” in North America, and no one calls themselves a “sports club”. Even the Baseball Club of Seattle, doesn’t call themselves “Seattle BC”. They’re the Mariners. Half of the league’s names are an insult to North American sports culture.

A special place in sports hell is set for the dude that named Real Salt Lake. He explicitly aped Real Madrid because he’s such a fan. Dude. We literally fought a war to overthrow a monarchy.
Just want to pass along a giant “fuck-you” to folks doing this that add stress on teammates who are trying to make it work.
eh, this is essentially a phone or a watch without a screen, and a bunch of "inventions" to accomodate the fact that it doesn't have a screen.
Trust me, at least on Intel, you do not want to write assembly inside your C/C++ code, unless it's just a couple of lines. The usual AT&T syntax will drive you nuts, and the additional syntax for embedding assembly only adds to the misery.

For any reasonable amounts (say, you want a function or several) of assembly, you want Intel syntax and standalone assembly files.

NASM is a great tool, although YASM should also be mentioned: https://yasm.tortall.net — YASM is what I used when I optimized an H.264 decoder for Intel-compatible CPUs way back in 2005 or so.
I always connect to CarPlay with a wire, and have never connected with bluetoooth. It has not auto paired Bluetooth either with iPhones.

I have not used Android Auto, but if it does auto pair Bluetooth, that would be a shame. I thought the whole point was that the car just provides a screen your phone can extend a display to, and no data ever leaves.
I completed my Philosophy degree in London in 1981; the professors strongly favoured the analytic tradition. My papers were on Nietsche and Wittgenstein; I got poor marks. There was some teaching of existentialism (but not Nietche); but no deconstructionists or postmodernists. They wouldn't reach English universities for a few years.
>You should not be crippled without your IDE.

Can you compute elementary functions by hand? Why not? Why are you crippled without semiconductors? This attitude leads to never being able to use better tools. We can't leverage an IDE because then we're "crippled" when we don't have it, so we continue writing code as if it was the '70s and the best we have is ed.
After spending a reasonable amount of time looking for an answer on the site: Assuming I have a SaaS with some third-party integrations that don't need Nango, why am I taking on the business/technology risk of this external dependency to do "custom" integrations?
Well it does come with a phone line and data coverage through T-Mobile, so like a cell phone really?
I think the writing has been on the wall since the Deadspin debacle[1]. G/O media seems to have little appetite for political commentary, so I'm surprised Jezebel lasted this long.

I didn't realize they owned The Onion though. Probably doesn't bode well for that publication either.

Wow. I just realized for years that I had been mistaking Socratic with Socrative. When Socratic got acquired I thought it was Socrative they bought. This explains why google never integrated Socrative stuff into Slides. Reading is hard.

You can always reply to notifications. Just like non-apple smartwatches allow.
A few of the offices even have a pool (Google Dublin, and soon Google London)

Because the buildings are usually located in very central city locations
- I've often used the offices as a way to kill time til' check-in opens for hotels after a long-haul flight (grab food, caffeinate, have a shower, etc)

Recently I took a night train between Stockholm and Copenhagen.

Showered in the Stockholm office, walked 5 minutes to the train station, slept, woke up in Copenhagen, grabbed a hearty breakfast in the CPH office.

It's a little perk that is honestly vastly underestimated
How do you isolate the philosophy without engaging in philosophy yourself?

My suspicion is that most people who don't like philosophy have lots of philosophical ideas - they are just really dogmatic about them and don't like to be challenged.

Philosophy is like maths. You can build a lot of bridges with a crummy understanding of maths. The Romans did it with the most pathological notation for numbers imaginable, and lacking all sorts of basic mathematical concepts. So you can say all that maths stuff is just nonsense and you can do it all by these seventeen-hundred ambiguous rules of thumb you really carefully follow. It's just you're not actually avoiding maths - you're just doing it in a really ad-hoc, inflexible, and inelegant manner. That's what people are doing when they say philosophy is a load of bunk but they still believe a whole load of things about the universe.
It's Vegas, people don't go there to make sound financial decisions :P

Possible counter-strategy is that the prices are high so people stay relatively tame inside. Who wants to pay ($20/unit of alcohol) to even try to get drunk?

A big flat screen. Indianapolis had both curved (Children's Museum) and flat (Indiana State Museum) IMAX theaters for a while, but the Children's Museum got rid of theirs and put a dinosaur exhibit in the old dome.
Why do areas with nuclear power around the world have cheaper than average electricity costs, then?
I assumed google designed kotlin, my mistake I do not care about android. The decision however is even stupider given that is not the case. I was suggesting they could rewrite their libraries in a language that compiles directly to machine code (like C++) and design a language on top with a simple to use and memorizable syntax like swift which would transpile to C++ giving you no overhead. That is my proposal for a far better design that would have a substantial impact to developers, users, and OEM's.

Ignoring your snide remarks. Yes using dalvik (the same nonsense as JVM) is a stupid idea for a company that can afford to make development more efficient and performant. Why is there an intermediary layer introducing overhead when it doesn't improve the developer or user experience? If you don't think the user would notice you're myopic. Being able to use cheaper hardware to provide faster devices is a direct benefit to consumers. And perhaps you're too young or inexperienced but Android was designed to use Java for the ease of transitioning existing mobile phone developers to smartphones.

The patchwork of changes they have made between now and then do not provide anywhere near the benefits of what I suggested. It would behoove you to actually understand the overhead of interpreting bytecode before suggesting it offers no impact to compile directly to machine code. Perhaps you're blindly loyal to android because you've been in the environment too long. As someone who has done both android and iOS (primarily the latter) development the experience across the board is unparalled for developers and users.

Just accept android is trash and google don't care or are mismanaged by morons too disincentivized to fix it because of google's crabs in a bucket culture.
This problem is going to get even more fun as AI driven Prior Authorization denials get more prevalent.

> but I don't think they've got anyone working on the language server either.

Not yet, but it's on our radar. We're focusing on the stable release + registry for now (eta mid-December), but we're planning to work on the language server eventually.

If you have any more frustrations with the language server, feel free to respond here, and it'll help us find avenues for improvements.

at what voltage do devices like this tend to operate? I was trying to estimate the ah of the batteries so I could then be frustrated at how they pack the cells in there.
Planting a forest is carbon neutral after it reaches maturity, in a ~few years. It reaches an equilibrium and stops net removal of CO2.

If you want nature to do it you need to engineer some way for the carbon to disappear basically forever.

Did you actually use HughesNet or Viasat? It absolutely sucked compared to Starlink on both price and performance. I really don't understand why everyone feels the need to dunk on Starlink (probably musk related).

It is an order of magnitude improvement.
Is there any inside take out there on whether the problem was "you can't run a news/political commentary rag profitably" or "you can't run it profitably enough"?
I dug into the technical details here over the last few days and as usual it's not quite as sinister as the hand wringing:

* Automotive head units are just embedded computers. Most run Linux, QNX, or Windows CE, with some proprietary UI system on top.

* These machines usually store data in an onboard database in flash (sometimes just SQLite).

* Sometimes, phone data is captured using standard Bluetooth mechanisms (Message Access Protocol MAP and Phone Book Access Protocol PBAP) which require authorization on the phone side. Some vendors implement an additional "are you sure you want to share your information" check on the head unit side, and others don't.

* This data is cached on the head unit so that finding a contact to call or reading a text message doesn't require 10 minutes worth of Bluetooth nonsense.

* Some vendors inadequately purge this cached data when a Bluetooth pairing is removed from the head unit.

* Berla sell data extraction exploits to law enforcement, just like other forensics vendors do for mobile phones. Sometimes this can extract latent data and sometimes active data.

My advice:

* Never authorize a head unit to download your contacts or SMS.

* If you use a rental car, Factory Reset the head unit when you leave.

That's decent protection for most people. I didn't find any evidence pointing to a central server upload, a conspiracy to build an LE database, etc. It's just typical crappy hardware manufacturer-made software leaving data around that shouldn't be left around, creating an opening for forensic vendor exploits to slurp the data.
I believe both those quotes/horrifically bad opinions are in the article, or at least referred to, so it may be one of those "editors choose headlines" situations.

i thought everybody expected the tories to lose in 2019 too ; not according to wikipedia though
Good point.

In my eyes it’s a PMF problem and an issue with their product team that Google couldn’t pivot. I know in 2023 a major CRM vendor has been rolling out the same idea as part of their SaaS. They’re trying to match individual customer service reps with depth of expertise across a broad product range. Not sure how much success they’re having but the idea is solid and requires an interesting combinatorial solver to figure out “good” matches within various constraints beyond expertise like individual workload, time zones, etc. with the goal to drive down case resolution time. Google is terrible at product and terrible at taking the long view, despite having known for decades that they’re going to struggle with innovators dilemma.
