Do you mean rent stablized specifically vs controlled?

About 1% of NYC apartments are rent controlled, about 50% are rent stabilized.

In controlled units you might see a minor increase over time, but generally you're paying what the unit was priced at 50 years ago. Leaving typically means an increase in rent of 500-700%, and these are practically impossible for new tenants to get.

In stablized units the rent can only be increased by a percentage determined by a board, typically 2-3% a year.

> Nokia is just selling rebadged Chinese devices with various compromises.

Have you a source for that? Nokia licensed the use of the Nokia brand and designs for mobile phones to HMD (started by an ex Nokia exec) a few years ago.

I've tried all these tips and more. I've gone as far as taking a run after meetings. Nothing really works. I've come to conclude that the problem is the meeting itself, not the way you recuperate from it.
> There isn't anything actually wrong with JavaScript in 2023, either.

The semantics of the language can be quite complex and it took decades for browsers to agree on them for most use cases. WASM arose out of a failure of browsers to figure out ways to deprecate this—mostly unnecessary—complexity.

> The idea that it needs to be replaced stems from countless failed attempts to shove a bunch of crap into the client with a bunch of frameworks and without a shred of actual engineering discipline.

The same can be said about the implementation of javascript in browsers as well.

We're stuck with it regardless, but our reliance on javascript and its myriad interactions with html and css functions much the same way for large browser vendors as regulatory capture does for large corporations at the state level.
Right! Other than the most used browser, the most used operating system, the most used mapping application, the second most used office suite, the most used online storage, the most used video platform, the second highest revenue app store, the most used email client, and a $30B / year cloud, what have they ever succeeded at?

But more seriously, this is such a bizarre take. All these megacorps have effectively infinite resources to play with, they can't all win at everything. Apple and Samsung have the leading phones, and have lot of money, expertise and brand loyalty to help them maintain that lead. Conversely, Microsoft poured tens of billions and like a decade into phones and didn't even get past "viable". You've probably even forgotten Amazon's and Facebook's mobile phone forays.
This gets at the core as to why I've not (yet) bought an EV - it's absolutely insane that my car purchase dictates the people I have to associate with for refueling. As you point out - I would never buy a car having the stipulation I could only refuel at Chevron stations.

I'll stick with my dino juice so long as Tesla is the only viable option available for recharging. I'd think about getting an EV for a local commuter car where I can always charge at home, but they're still too expensive for that - though that should change as the used EV market becomes more developed and mature.
That's the literal definition of a "rubber stamp" process! That you won't be denied, that the granting of your request is essentially automatic.
Yet this is not the current stance of the industry that is trying to select the correct people for extermination instead of help people.

What does a neurologist do anyway. I have CP and ADHD, yet haven't been referred and think all. It's not clear what they'd even do.
The value of farm land versus land in the city is several orders of magnitude different.

An average value for farmland might be something like $5000 / acre.

The average value for land in even a low cost of living city can be $2.5m / acre.
This reminds me that I actually bought the first edition of the GC handbook on purpose, because it had more C++ material, which was relevant to my project.

The second edition cut a bunch of C++ material out.

And yeah I don't think I missed anything -- I think it even had better diagrams.

So yeah I believe that general rule! I didn't realize that at the time I bought the Dragon Book.

Pretty sad how you can lose knowledge over time!

The books also respond to fashion -- e.g. Java was a popular teaching language, so they had to add more Java. I think that is reasonable in some ways but can backfire in the long term.

Although I guess I am not too excited about MIX assembly in TAOCP and so forth, so it's a hard problem
Thank you for the positive acknowledgment and insightful observation. As one of the creators of Crul, I fully understand the challenges inherent in this intricate business and software domain. Our initial emphasis on the browser abstraction layer, predating APIs such as SOAP, REST, GraphQL, etc., serves as a data driver and stateless cluster for interpreting DOM nodes. While we initially lacked programmatic extensibility for custom browser control, as you rightly pointed out, addressing complex edge cases often requires such a feature. Looking ahead, we are exploring the possibility of opening up the core, starting with "Krull," the browser cluster. We welcome feedback to gauge interest in this development.
Why _Svelte_ Flow?
Spot on. It just blows my mind that there isn't a great Android phone option anymore! We've had so many come and go over the years, and yet it feels like we're always moving backwards.
Absolutely, I just have to see how it goes on the day, if they get to sleep easily and on time I have a couple of hours maybe after doing the chores, but more often than not I'll come and sit down at my desk and just think; I'm too tired, or not in the mood for this, and I decided recently that that's fine.

I was talking to my wife about this over dinner the other day. At one point, early after the kids came along, this really bothered me, not being able to do my projects/hobbies, but I came to a realisation, once things had settled down a bit.

Even though I _want_ to do these things, I want to spend time with my kids, my family, more, and these other things are inconsequential whether they happen or not.

I'm never likely to look back and think "I regret not building X with an ESP32", and I don't intend to look back and wish I'd spent more time with my kids, they grow up quick.

Don't get me wrong, I still find time for hobbies, and little projects; much less so than I did, but now I just find I need/want to spend less of my time building/tinkering with things that no longer have the same value to me that they used to, my brain is slowly catching up with that realisation.

Show HN: Outsmart AI in a Spy Game
Hey HN!

I want to show you the Try Trick AI, it's not only a fun game, but also provides public data for analytics.
https://www.trytrickai.com/

But what is the game about?
Your job is to trick AI. Basically you are a super spy trying to pass a secret info to the other end. And AI is a rival spy listening to everything. So you gotta find creative ways of bypassing it.

Feel free to try it, and all feedback are very welcome!
To be more precise, NACS uses the Tesla physical connector but the CCS signalling protocol.

In consequence:

1: Cars with CCS Type 1 connectors can use a dumb physical adapter to connect to a NACS charger.

2: Older Tesla's (prior to ~2020 depending on model) need a $400 retrofit to be able to charge at non-Tesla NACS chargers. (The $400 retrofit includes a CCS Type 1 adapter, so it might eventually be cheaper without it).
Obviously Google figures they're getting back more than $30B in revenue otherwise the payments make no sense.
Is there a reason you want to run your own server? It seems like a lot of headache for this use case.

Also, cool story, thanks for bringing it up :)
I got a pixel 6a after the 4a's power button started going wonky for no reason (it'd randomly think it was being pressed and bring up the power menu with the emergency call button, which is not great when you're using the phone and might tap that button on accident). The 6a had a bug for the first month or two where the brightness slider control was offset from where it appeared on the screen (so you had to slide your finger somewhere else to get it to work). It also constantly crashes the entire phone with Firefox if you have the URL bar on top, which as far as I know is still not fixed after over a year. There's some multitude of permissions that have to all be set correctly to get e.g. Pagerduty calls to come through during bedtime mode, and even with the permissions + adding PD to contacts, I missed a call. I can't remember whether it was because I hadn't starred them, or whether my volume was set to silent. In any case, you have to search online to have any hope if finding the correct settings to make it work (the app used to max it out and turn off silent mode and everything just worked with 1 slider. I presume that if that stopped working sensibly, it's because of Android changes). Honestly all of the Pixels I've owned have left me pretty unimpressed with Google's engineers, and the UIs get worse each year.
I've been pretty bearish on gen AI for music, but this is the most fun I've had playing with an AI tool in a long time- the filters remind me of the OG Instagram filter effect, where even shitty photos from phones could "magically" be enhanced.

This + the Music ControlNet post from yesterday gives me some hope that audio AI will go the direction of creative tools, rather than dystopian full song generation.

Not the above commenter, but when we got a quote from them (over a year ago), the pricing seemed really good for a full rack.

But looking through the fine details, it turned out to only offer 7 amps (power) for the entire rack.

While that's not totally useless, it's pretty close to being so.

They seemed to be looking for suckers to offload useless facility space onto or something.
As I said, there's always some excuse, different every time, but with the same result: defame your enemy. The issues in the Apollo affair or A Time to Kill [1] were internal, yet the villains and/or victims were still changed.

Interesting. At any point in time, I had errors from hardware, software and networking. Even the racks would be getting overwhelmed at certain times. Simply being able to ssh into every host wasn't guaranteed. I'm not sure how you did it.
99.99% of the development of open source distros is done by mega-corps. IBM, Oracle, Google, etc. all have complete control of the Linux ecosystem. The only difference is that they have to play nice with each other, not with you, the user. You also get the worst possible experience because they have no incentive to make the desktop experience better.
Yeah the component model the bytecode alliance is pushing defines a canonical ABI and codegen tools to make this easier (also separating memory from these components so a bug in some random C library doesn’t have a blast radius outside the processing it does in its library boundary)

I'm usually seeing charging at the front of the parking lots around me. It also wouldn't surprise me if the attendants from charging stations were largely useless as I assume an electrician license would be required for most repairs in most states.

Great post! I don't know if I have ADHD, but I have struggle with getting into focusing and staying focused if I don't get into the zone, a lot of that speaks to me.

> For me, having multiple monitors has been a game-changer; it allows me to spread out my tasks visibly and switch between them as needed without losing track

Fun, I have had the opposite revelation. I had several monitors for years, and what made a difference was switching to just a wide one, plus some hygiene around closing windows I don't use. Using a nice background helps, as it motivates me yo have sufficiently little content that I can see it.

> While the open office layout is often praised for fostering collaboration, it can be a minefield of distractions for someone with ADHD

And interestingly again, I like going to the office because a) few of my colleagues are going, b) I have much less distractions there than at my place

> Amazon’s Silent Meeting Technique

From my short tenure at Amazon, this is one thing I miss to an obsessive degree. These are great. But switching to other companies and failing to advocate for it, I realized that people don't like reading. They want to be fed content. I dread when something is documented through the recording of a meeting, I want a doc. I hope to find such a culture again!

> Obsidian isn’t just a note-taking app for me; it’s the cornerstone of my daily organization

I like the idea in concept. I even built an extension for Obsidian that parses all your notes for to-dos and presents them as an interactive board and backlog (Proletarian Wizard). I have used that for a few years, but I usually drift enough from my todos that it's not very useful. The other problem with all these syncs is that they are one way only, so it'd make me anxious that the info is scattered between my system and the central one. Like the idea though.

> Team members are encouraged to block off periods in their calendars

Does that work for anyone? I have been doing that for years, through probably 5 or 10 teams, and so far my main observation is that people don't give any consideration for my own agenda. The moment my calendar is busy to beyond 50%, people start sending invites on time marked busy. I think they mostly don't even check, or sometimes even worse they take notice and send something in the likes of "you were marked busy but I hope you can join".
JavaScript is pretty powerful these days and not really the limiting factor for most use cases.

Tinker CAD feels great and it is built with JS/HTML with the 3D view done in WebGL/Canvas: https://www.tinkercad.com/

I could maybe see it for gaming at some point, but it is a long way to go. All screen drawing (canvas, DOM manipulation, etc) are still going through JavaScript. So none of that is any faster.
Show HN: NowSecure Observer helps iOS devs with Privacy Manifests, app security
Apple announced at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2023 in June new initiatives to increase transparency about mobile app privacy. All mobile app developers will be required to submit a privacy manifest that details data collection practices and usages when they add or update an iOS app in App Store Connect, the platform used for publishing and tracking performance in the App Store.

Currently available in beta, the NowSecure Observer developer tool simplifies mobile privacy and security during the coding stage. It provides real-time visibility into how sensitive data is being used, stored and transmitted by first- and third-party code. It also enables developers to quickly resolve security and privacy issues and avoid App Store surprises and rejections.

Once developers add it to their iOS project, the NowSecure Observer SDK collects telemetry as the developer codes and at runtime during pre-prod testing. The SDK feeds information to the NowSecure Observer web app so you can see data flows, observe dependencies that have been introduced over time and generate Apple privacy manifests and mobile Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) reports. In addition, line of code-level detail and backtrace context ease remediation so developers understand what issues are critical to address and how. Developers can also receive guidance through the app store submission process in the form of a customized publication checklist to avoid rejections, and secure code training from NowSecure Academy.
Sure,

Here is what I did to my current v.3+

- Once it reaches the lowest rate, the LED goes off after a 30min timer set, it fades the light over that time under the same blinking rate. So I won't notice.
- The Idea comes from desperation really, mostly curiosity on why sound beats from upbeat music had a effect to improve mood, i.e. work more at gym. Also the idea that your brain will take patterns and try to synch with. Check PubMed (few articles about)
- I started with a software version (v.1 and v2) and then a hardware one. No idea why, but hardware (as a side device) works really good. I 3D printed a tiny case and it is discreetly below my iMac screen powered by the USB. Look like an old modem but tiny.

Finally...

- I added the heart monitor (a cheap cable and wrist sensor) to see if I could shorten the time to achieve the lowest rate of blink based on my heart response instead of waiting the time or trying to read brainwave pattern (I try measuring voltage and electric wave form, from a headband I bought and returned after a rapid test) but the signal would mix with the work in front of me, so useless and expensive.

Using heart rate looks cheap, non-intrusive and effective to shorten the time, it goes 1/3 of time to get lowest, could use an apple watch vs cable and sensor but I'm cheap.

GPTs are fairly limited right now, but that doesn't mean you can't build fun things composably on top of them...

I - a non technical ignoramus who can't code - made a "universal retro game console" on it on a Friday night:

https://twitter.com/fabianstelzer/status/1723297340306469371

In order to play, you first prompt up a generative game cartridge on glif.app (FD: I'm a co-founder): https://glif.app/@fab1an/glifs/clotu9ul2002vl90fh6cmpjw0

Like, "tokyo dogsitter simulator". Glif will generate the "cartridge" - an image - that you paste into the GPT to play: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-3p94K4Djb-console-gpt

(you can also browse thousands of games that users have already made and play any of them in the GPT!)

A few months back I had to go to Palm Beach for work. It was right when Miami was flooding. That's over two hours away. But, the Port Everglades, which is where the tankers unload, was flooded too, and even up in Palm Beach there was no gas. I drove in there with low fuel, thinking it wouldn't be an issue since I was so far north. But, then couldn't find gas at all the next day, and driving around and seeing tons of frustrated drivers at various gas stations was haunting.

But, hey, I have a hybrid Mini, so I can just go to a charging station, right?

What a mess. There are at least two different chargers, and the Tesla ones don't work with my car unless I get a "Tesla Tap" (which I didn't have at the time). And, when you look on the dozens of apps out there, you will see charging stations, and then when you get there, realize it is a freaking outlet in a lamp post in the parking lot of a mall. I'm not joking. If I plugged in the cable I carry in the back of my car, it would have taken 8-12 hours to charge up to the full 18 miles I get on my car.

Some of the stations just didn't work at all. The apps that you use to turn them on are the worst rated apps on the app stores. As an aside, trying to charge is a horrific experience when you are not in your hometown. But, and I'm not sure if this is just Florida or what (judging by the article, seems like no), even my "hometown" of 100k+ people has almost no working charging stations downtown. It is hilarious that the charging station in front of the power company does not work.

When I was in Palm Beach, I drove around to at least five different charging stations. None of them worked. I parked next to a Rivian and admired his range and the ability to charge at those stations which did not work with my car port. Or, finding charging stations which did work with my car, but had no cables open.

I finally found a gas station that had gas, and I remember being so relieved. This was the first time I realized that at least with gas, I can fill up and hand over the pump to the next person. But, with electric, you are not only looking for a working charger, but one that isn't in use. The infrastructure isn't there when there is even a slight weather event, and I can't imagine what it would be like in a true emergency when I couldn't just pull over and work on my laptop at a cafe nearby.
Do you think encryption methods today will hold up over time 100%?

There is no evidence that it won't. If you have some, link it.
