The last few falcon launches weren't on YouTube, only on X.
Yup. That's exactly what I predict Apple will do. RCS messaging will still have green bubbles. And it will continue to have the same psychological effect as SMS green bubbles do today. I think that's also why GP said there won't be a decline in iMessage usage.
I think this is a very creative and uncommon interpretation of Marx. Marx advocated that moral is completely dependent of society infra-structure. The moral of a capitalist society would be different than the moral of a feudal society. Moreover, Marxist critique of capitalism is not a moral critique, but an invite to see the existing contradictions that would point to where future changes and developments would happen influenced by such contradictions.
Does E2EE RCS even exist, or is that just Google bolting E2EE over RCS for users of their specific Messages app?
I'm shocked (Ok, not that shocked) that nobody has commented on how beautiful the art is in this piece. The cartooning is very abstract, which makes the gut punch of those final few panels so much more powerful. The little bits of animation are very evocative. The piece reminds me a lot about Scott McCloud's Infinite Canvas, and how refreshing it still feels when the internet gives us legitimately radical sequential art.
1. Large internal hard disks and USB back-ups to archive a ton of information.

2. I registered for a free Canvas account on Instructute.com and now build courses to teach everything I learn.

3. Deciding that upgrading my PC's system unit would wait as I bought new peripherals, like 43" 4k TV as monitors, a better keyboard, a DSLR, etc.

4. Used Xeon-powered workstations, then learning to upgrade them.

5. Learning that the best things in life are free, like large-format color copiers on CraigsList that have a small and fixable issue, but are too heavy yo move without renting a commercial truck with a lift gate.

6. A VPN so I could pirate books and audio books.
It was a joke about making an HN post out of a tweet.

A tweet is just a short comment. That it happens to be on Twitter doesn't give it any more significance.
Why? Do you have an edge case where you need > 1TB storage on your phone?
But, you're OK using it for content distribution, promotion, ad targeting, and surveilling your audience?

Some of that is still stuff you do, but it's stuff you probably do off camera.

It's an extremely fine line.

Can it actually be used to buy a car, unlike dealer sites, which lie about inventory and are a heavy handed laborious way of just getting put on a waitlist and getting a salesman to call you?

That'd be a pretty direct improvement in the modern car market.
> Why should Wikipedia do new stuff?

Because it's not perfect yet?

The point of Wikipedia is not to have some servers ticking over. The project has a vision: "Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge."

I agree it's not ok for them to lie, and am bothered enough by their dubious fundraising tactics that I stopped donating. But that's a totally separate concern than whether Wikipedia's mission is complete.
Hey HN,

I built Cringe Clock, a Pomodoro timer app for us—procrastinators, and the chronically distracted. You know, the ones who find themselves an hour deep into a YouTube rabbit hole when there's work to be done.

Cringe Clock is like that friend who's a bit too much but always gets you to the gym. It's loud, it's flashy, and it absolutely refuses to be ignored. Perfect for anyone who's ever lost track of time.

What's different?

In Your Face: Always on top, because out of sight is out of mind.

- Flashy UI: Designed to draw your wandering eyes back to work.

- Ticking Sound: Nothing says "deadline's looming" quite like it.

- ADHD-Friendly: More than just a timer, it's a focus booster.

- Customizable: Because we all get distracted differently.

- Developed with Vue and Electron and runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux

> If technology drives efficiency, why do prices constantly rise instead of fall?

This is the Baumol's cost disease I was talking about: technology only drives efficiency in some sectors, but in every sector it doesn't touch (mostly because human availability is the bottleneck), prices have to rise to match the equivalent wage workers could be getting at the other places with more efficiency.

The telcos don’t actually provide E2EE. That layer is offered by Google itself, and RCS carries encrypted data, last I checked. Not sure if Apple is going to interoperate with it.
I would be very interested, depending on cost.

For pricing models, JetBrains (PyCharm) has a nice setup, although it could be more user friendly. After 12 months of payments you get a perpetual fallback license[0].

The more user friendly version would be getting perpetual access to the current version of software after 12 months of payments, rather than the backdated version. But I understand their reasoning.

So feed them with DC current? It's not like we're talking consumer lightbulbs that need to convert AC to DC as cheaply as possible to stay competitive.
Pay attention to WhatsApp's wording (all privacy/security claims start with "your messages"), and their privacy policy, and you'll see that while message involving with individuals (non-Business users) are secured, your contact list is not, neither are chats with businesses or the metadata about you chatting (destinations, frequency, time)
RCS is still standardized and maintained by the GSMA, of which Google is a member. Google acquired Jibe in 2015 in order to get their RCS server and client architecture (Jibe was a leader in shaping the RCS-Standard).

Everyone can make his own app, it's just that he would need to develop a whole RCS-client for it to interact with (Google's or carriers') RCS-Servers as well. So what is missing is Google offering their RCS-client with open API's for other apps (than Google Messages) to use.

To be fair, maintaining interoperability of those apps with the underlying client would then be a huge endeavour, Google Messages itself is already updating quite frequently...
Green: iMessage

Blue: RCS

> In typical internet mob fashion Apple doing this is considered doubleplusgood, Google doing it is them being evil and trying to kill the Internet.

It wasn't actually considered good that Apple killed the safariextz format. There were a ton of complaints among Safari users.

But of course Safari for Mac has a small marketshare, given its nonexistence on Windows (since Safari for Windows was discontinued in 2012), so it can't kill the Internet. On the other hand, plenty of people think that Apple's browser engine restrictions on iOS are killing the Internet.
Right. They started investigating iMessage a couple of months back. https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/6/23861030/imessage-bing-eur...

Whoa. 10mg is a ton! I take 0.5mg on occasion (maybe once every two months), and it knocks me out immediately, and I'm a 180lb adult male.

Historically, SMS messages have had green bubbles since the iPhone was introduced in 2007. When Apple introduced iMessage in 2011, the showed iMessages in blue, and maintained the green for SMS messages. They are not “cross-platform” messages, Messages only does SMS and iMessage. If you did some reading, instead of getting upset over the longstanding colour of a chat message, you’d know this and not be so angry. Or, like th rest of the world, you would already be using an alternative.
What's wrong with using middleware engines? That was pretty much the expected case for people who didn't /need/ the level of control exposed by APIs like vulkan or dx12.

It's pretty much what OpenGL "drivers" were doing past the introduction of hardware shaders anyway - acting as a pretty thick middleware translating that to low-level commands, only having the user API being locked into a design from decades ago.

And considering how hard it was to get Khronos to eventually agree on vulkan in the first place (that effectively being a drop from AMD in "Mantle" then only tweaked by the committee), I'm not surprised they haven't standardized a higher-level API. So third party middleware it is.
Well, if 5% of places have this software one can avoid, if > 50% have this it will be normalized then. Just like 20% tipping is normal without any expectation beyond a plate of food placed on your table and waiter never returns except to bring in check.
Since the beginning of the full-scale war, over 230 Ukrainian media have been closed.

Came here to say this. As soon as I saw the first example on the linked web page, I immediately thought of C++. Reinventing the wheel.
I use about 100mg (average amount) 2-4 days a week for the last 1.5 years, going through a very challenging project. I had a small stretch of time when my skin started drying up on the forehead and was peeling off in minor quantities, so i took a break for a month and it fixed it.

Some of the days I may not take it and not notice it, there's definitely no cravings. But during a break I felt slightly hazy when getting off it. I do notice an increase in typical stimulator tell-tale symptoms (like some jaw clenching), but i do have that from coffee as well (which i drink too). There can be days when i'm too wired up to fall asleep fast, so i may drop a 5-htp pill.

The upside is that there's a lot of times when I manage to really concentrate on some activities. Doing 8 hours shifts is trivial. People note that I am pretty responsive at the end of the working days. Quite often I manage to do some personal hobby work after a full working day too.

Modafinil doesn't have the ecstatic effects of Adderall and its friends, so working a lot can make me feel overly emotionally invested into some things that are not important in a grand picture. The stress can add up if not managed well. So I do not recommend working a lot for working's sake, there has to be a cause to pull heroic stunts like this. My excuse is to save up the money to enable myself to do other activites not related to programming later.
Both Signal and iMessage are E2EE, SMS is not.

Why do you feel Signal is better security wise?
> I hope the GSM association moves fast to make robust E2EE a standard required for proper implementation for carriers.

This is pretty moot now. Google has effectively turned RCS into a proprietary protocol, they fully control the only relevant server implementation, carriers that want to interconnect have no choice but to deploy Jibe or use Jibe as a service.
Google is pursuing the absolute worst of what AI music could be. It's really disappointing. Instead of elevating human expression they went straight for generating generic mass-market music to back Shorts videos. Zero influence from human creators that can actually make things great. Models can reproduce style, but they can't reproduce taste and emotion.
Very good summary of long term situation, I hope OP and similar folks would realize the drawbacks. Indeed, concept of 'free lunch' simply doesn't exist in reality, especially when it comes to drugs. Our bodies and minds constantly adapt and what caused a certain reaction before will gradually cause less of it the more its used. Some folks fare better, some worse, some have very low threshold for addictions.

A very US-centric view I think, i never knew a single person in my University who took these 'enhancing' drugs, we just got wasted from alcohol and smoked weed. And I went through rather stressful University where 2/3 of people who started were thrown out of school in first 2 years in one or the other filtering hardcore courses with slightly psychotic professors (still not getting why by far the hardest course from 5 years for studying freakin' Software engineering had to be 'Theoretical electrotechnics' with some hardcore math way beyond our actual math courses, of course never used any of that, not even on rest of studies).

Anyway, any substance you abuse will eventually kick back quite hard, if it didn't yet give it some time (or take a bit harder look in the mirror next time). Same for bad habits.
Yea. They should be required to disclose this information.
From your first link, they literally state that the "moderate effect" is at concentrations exceeding what flourinated water supplies in the US have. Here's the comment.

>Reviewer comment (DocB1_Monograph, page 2): It

that the conclusion about effects on IQ in children was
derived from high human exposures (higher than US
exposures) without getting into more hazard conclusions or

They repeatedly say that the current research is no where near comprehensive and results are weak.
I completely agree, however, there's one thing in the core of their ideology that's different than the typical US/western european capitalism - their moral compass is absolute, derived from the Quran.

It means basically, that there's very little wiggle room, you can't really negotiate with someone who believes he/she acts on orders from a divine entity.

That's why the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains unsolved for so many years ...
If I had to make a guess, it'll have Brutalist DNA.

Imagine if I could walk into your house, take all your stuff, and pay you a "severance" tax of 0.125%.
I don't really disagree with the concept in the post, other than to say that it's always assuming that there's some information (observations) coming in on any given topic. The nuance I'm arguing for is that truly partisan news is often as much a practice of complete omission than inaccurately reported observations -- something that's....umm....omitted here, thus providing a salient example. This results in an over focus on belief networks and switching beliefs, when the result is more complex.

Many people hold no particular beliefs whatsoever on most topics. When pressed they'll generate a "belief proxy" at random until the partisan sources their mental models are fed by gives them an observation to hold to. It's perhaps not mathematical, but it's highly observable -- particularly on topics that are likely to be highly partisan.
So weird reading this from the transatlantic sidelines, where noone cares one little bit what device a message was sent from.
For radians, we can note that the length of a circle segment is rα, where r is the radius and α is the angle, where both the radius and circle segment have dimensions length; then we must infer that α is dimensionless.

Degrees follow a similar argument.
Do you happen to have a link to these developments?
It's a well-known adage that a lie by omission is still a lie. Complete coverage of a topic or event is not just a positive analysis of factual claims, but also a negative analysis of facts omitted. This is an incredibly fuzzy realm where it is actually impossible to know if a story is truly complete. Thus, the entire pursuit of "objective journalism" to me seems a folly.

I much prefer that partisan actors pursue their incentives to include competing details, from which I can synthesize a Bayesian analysis of what is most likely to have happened. Often, the attempt to slander partisan coverage of events is done to cover up for partisan reporting masquerading as "objective" while omitting or massaging crucial details that only the slandered opposition will point out.
No paywall workaround works for everybody unfortunately. They're there for the ones they work for.

> RCS fixes the cost / reliability problems of SMS,

It doesn’t fix the end to end encryption problem unless google opens up their system.
Signal is not for anonymity.

It's for security.
We all want to be lied to. The alternative, watching CSPAN live-stream congress or the senate is so boring that you can even see the senators or congress people sleeping in the chambers!

We have the tools to find the truth, at least for many parts of our government. If you go look at CSPAN programming which allows the public to comment, or watch "debates", you'll notice a lot of empty chambers and very old people with nothing better to do being the only participants.

This is why we turn to partisan news. Shame on us.
3 to 4 was a giant giant leap. 3.5 is basically useless. I would consider paying $100-$200 per month for GPT 5 because of the value add. It has really consumed/improved almost all aspects of my life and I have a chat window open 60% of the time I have my laptop open.
>We made very sure we never left it pointed at a fire sprinkler after that.

The one time we had an inadvertent discharge of a fire sprinkler in the historic building we're in was when a film crew had a light positioned too close to one. It was not close enough that someone without specific experience looking at it would have thought it was too close. The light wasn't even a high-powered outdoor film spotlight; it was for an indoor shoot. Film lights can just be very bright, and very hot.
If Signal drops the requirement to have a phone number I'll support them with money. If they allow me to change the name of a contact to what makes sense to me, I'll donate again. Follow the example of Session on this!
There's no one to block, you just won't be included when the groupchat is setup. Big problem for teens.
That's a great idea for a shared 2FA device
Platform with algorithm that creates posts
Tiktok has an amazing algorithm but the only thing it does is recommends user created content to people.

what it has is millions of users metrics and how they interact with the content which is what makes its algorithms good.

there can be a platform that collects all that useful metrics too, but uses them not only for recommender model, but also for post creation.

you can take a llm (gpt) today and make it generate posts, then collect millions of peoples interactions and how they respond to them, all the metrics and train the post creator model with it. you can easily make an actual quality content creation bot thats better than any copywriter and understands the relevant details better than anyone.

the reason the other platforms do so well is because of the insane amounts of data they monitor.

the post creation is 2 parts:

one that finds relevant stuff on the internet, tracks events, and just figures out best content to post about.

the other one is llm model that takes any piece of information and converts it into a post with title and all the other fields

both can be trained with data from users.

i am working on this idea further

if you think you have good ideas to add or are just interested i have a discord -

also theres a demo with a feed of posts and a chatbot

Firefox only survives because Google props it up. I don’t think Google can stop completely without incurring antitrust wrath, but they could probably start attaching strings and conditions to the funding.
I'm continuously surprised that Discord hasn't made a play in the Slack/Teams/etc space. They are dramatically more competent at it than their competition.

At least blowing up the raptor engines isn't the planned operational design. Even if they blow up 39 tomorrow, an operational Starship/Superheavy will not do that. That's the whole point.

SLS is going to be tossing four RS-25 engines per launch (with *each* engine costing the same as ~2-3 entire Falcon 9 launches) into the ocean as the planned course of action. That is by design - and not some accident during a test flight.

I don't think the article mentions it, how well does the rpi 4 and 5 do for inference with whisper especially v3?
I really don't think this has helped me try to understand anything to do with the Palestine-Israel conflict.

For example: a hospital in gaza is bombed by israel forces. Hamas claims X number of civilian deaths and says nothing about terrorists existing in the building. IDF doesn't claim any number of civilian deaths but does say that, generally, terrorists hide in these hospitals. No one confirms basic facts like who are the people being targeted, were they actually killed, and how many innocent civilians were calculated as an acceptable loss to destroy the targets.

Overall I feel I'm left with even less information than when I started, since all either side can confirm is that Israel bombed a hospital. And this happens for a bunch of things: Israel bombs a neighborhood the UN has labeled a refugee camp. Hamas commits an act of terror with some number of hostages taken.

I cannot even confirm if the food, water, and fuel being sent humanitarian-ly to Gaza is enough for the population there. One side claims there is a huge crisis of resources, the other side claims there's no crisis whatsoever.
