I agree, but it solves the problem. You are talking about how it should be. I am talking about why these local AI features are useful to me.

On PCs we have Windows with candy crush ads, so I can indeed imagine.
Probably not, especially as null results are almost impossible to publish (which is mad).
Outage on Amsterdam Peering Platform
I had a similar impression. It looks very polished and smooth, but also a little overwhelming and "too much". _But_ my first thought was that I just am not the target audience because after years of amateur lifting I've realized all I really want is a rep/set/weight tracker, and this does not strive to be that. For me, anything more complex that tries to tie different parts of the fitness "experience" into one product ends up being a distraction. It takes focus from the thing that really matters to me: the lifting part. This seems like maybe a better app for beginners who just want to try different things with more guidance on the program and movements.
Yes, Firefox should block ads by default.

Speaking of disappointing.

What happened to the Soli radar chip in Pixels?
it has happened every single time I attempted to send an email. so this is categorically wrong.
Many others have done the same thing (I mean, something like airtable is now 'everything' as well, as are many others). It's hard to do positioning though like this I must admit; for new users it's almost impossible to say what exactly it is. The 'what can I do with it?' -> 'everything' type of thing.

Lessons about learning from ancient Greek philosophers
It's archaic if you're a dabbler, a hobbyist, an academic, or a junior dev who lacks the experience of shipping software into the wild.

For the rest of us, we have learned the hard way, sometime repeatedly, portability and adherence to published standards matters.
I have a habit of making sure potentially controversial articles are on archive.org whenever I come across them, just for this exact reason.

(It's on my to-do list to automatically mirror all HN submissions as well)
AI goes through cycles where whichever field is currently making the most advances gets all the hype. But just because LLMs are currently flashy doesn't mean that object detection, image segmentation, facial recognition, image generation, text-to-speech, speech-to-text or anomaly detection are suddenly less useful.
What's the basis for that assumption? I'm struggling to see a reason to not use the shell for arithmetic, regardless of `/usr/bin/[`, builtin `[` or `[[`.
The Curious Case of Missing Crypto or the Coinbase Long Con
A lot of the GNUisms described in https://jmmv.dev/2021/08/useless-use-of-gnu.html are very useful in interactive use. Search the current directory without an explcit . - useful. Append an option to a command you just typed - heck yeah, always annoyed when commands don't support that.

For scripts though, sticking to POSIX sh often makes sense, yeah. You should at least be aware if you use of Bash-isms.
OpenAI – Maker vs. Seller
A successful company needs a maker and a seller. But eventually the seller is the star. Makers are important but not as much as the sellers. The whole OpenAI saga illustrates that at the end of the day, makers are replaceable, sellers are not. Makers, while geniuses in their respective fields are also naive and overestimate their ability and powers. The world belongs to those who can sell.
I kind of find it sad that you still need an app in 2023 for these features as most of these are built into Win10 for like 8 years now.
Show HN: StellarPreviews – Preview links to 3rd party apps in Google Docs
StellarPreviews uses the Google Docs third-party smart chips API [1] that allows you to turn a URL from a third-party application into a smart chip that can display additional link preview information.

This allows you to preview information from the URL without having to switch context and visit the third-party application. This is also useful where people in your organization who view a document may not have access to the third-party application. This allows them to get contextual information about the URL from inside Google Docs.

I created a short demo video [2] to understand better how this works.

Currently, StellarPreviews support GitHub URLs to GitHub pull requests and issues, as well as Linear issues. More integrations are on the way.

My first computer was in the 1980s, bought for my Dad by Shell so he could work from home, despite not having any work that could be done remotely. His manager had a huge stationery budget.
How Gödel's proof works (2020)
I agree, to an extent: I think OSS commoditized the substrate of modern technology: OS, libraries, languages, etc, which made the higher-level stuff more valuable (Christensen's law). With commodity platforms, most of the value was left in the end product (i.e. the user-facing bits) and at that point market dynamics favored natural monopolies --the more customers a service had, the better it got, the more customers it got. Which is another reason user-facing OSS apps/services have mostly failed miserably.

It's deeply ironic that in the end OSS, that lovely near-communist idea helped create what is probably the most successful capitalistic business models of all time... but, the fact that these monopolies are still there and unregulated and unharmed, that's probably a US-specific political failure and cannot be fixed with technological hacks and definitely not by one of their core enablers (OSS).
Maybe if I had better understanding of the Pixel capabilities I may have bought one.

Maybe Google can't market anything because they're so entrenched in the least effective advertising methods out there?

Where are the catchy short commercials on YouTube compelling me to this great tech? Just because everyone knows Google doesn't mean they know what Google has to offer.
> Later we developed a bug database but during gta3, the testers would simply print out every bug. Every programmer, level designer and artist had a physical pile of sheets on their desk. If you felt the bug was more easily fixed by someone else you would simply put it on that persons pile.

Is this kanban? :D
No, they are completely awful at math. The way you can see that is that, whenever you ask it about known concepts, even hard ones, it will answer, making it look intelligent. But then if you create a small new theory or logical problem that is completely not in the internet, and ask SIMPLE questions about it - i.e., questions a 10 years old would be able to answer given the context - it will fail disgracefully.
It depends on the details of your application, battery chemistry and construction.

Typically avoiding the (dis)charge extremes is good. For Li-ion though a much wider range seems OK than (say) lead-acid.

Oh you are spot on.

The confusion was probably just about saying it's a phone first. I'm in my mid 30s as well and the only time I call someone is when I contact my mother. I think with the younger generation it's at a point where calling someone is seen as intrusive.

If you are calling me you are taking my choice away on when to deal with whatever you've got. Or at least are interrupting me with the attempt itself. So it better be important.
Thanks for this mate I really appreciate it!

> If that's the case, I'd recommend fast.ai.

This is pretty much what I am looking for in that regard so thanks

> For Data Analysis related stuff, just find any O'Reilly book on Pandas.

> For Backend Web Dev, look for a book on Flask. It should be very easy to pick up if you've done backend stuff with JS.

Thanks again, I think I struggle with learning coding from books personally and am definitely more of a learn by breaking kinda person but I will keep this in mind if I get stuck :)

> In terms of learning Python "syntax", it's honestly really simple. I'd just get a Chat GPT-4 membership and then just copy and paste any syntax you don't understand and ask it to explain it to you.

It's funny you say that, this has been my approach so far but with Bard. We do have a GPT subscription at work so I may give that a go too as i have found instances where Bard is obviously wrong even though I do not know the language
> How easy will it be for the PVV to form a government with so few seats?

On a scale of 1 to 10? Belgium.

The problem isn't that he has only a ~quarter of the seats (last time a party had a similar lead was in 2012), it's that the results are too scattered. There are no realistic combinations.

PVV + VVD + NSC is the only possible combination with PVV, and I'm not seeing NSC go for that (for a number of reasons: ideological differences with PVV, history with VVD, probably not a good idea to participate in a coalition as a brand new party).

The other alternative is Labour/green + VVD + NSC + D66. It's similar to the purple coalitions of then 90s, but things changed quite a bit since then so I'm not sure how realistic that is, and it's probably going to end up disastrous for Labour (and D66) to be in a cabinet with a right-wing and centre-right party (as it has been in the past).
What amazes me is how close it gets to the right answer, though. Pick a random 10-digit number, then ask the next 20 numbers in sequence.

I feel like the magic in these LLMs is in how they work well in stacks, trees or in seqence. They become elements of other data structures. Consider a network of these, combined with other specialized systems and an ability to take and give orders. With reinforcement learning, it could begin building better versions of itself.
And you do need a reliable modem to reliability exchange pictures.

I shared an office with a workforce training company. They said their big time is the end of the year as that's when departments in big companies realize in horror that they have unspent budget. Some of the more expensive and useless courses practically didn't sell at any other time of the year.
Ask HN: Does this web automation tool exist?
Hi HN, I'm looking to automate some web workflows.
Here's an example of a what the tool would do.

1. Open a new tab, navigate to my builds page. Select the latest successful build, and click on the link. Copy the url to the latest build artifact.

2. Open a new tab, go to my deploy tool. Paste in the artifact link from the earlier step. Fill in some other values in a form, and hit submit.

I know the above is possible with something like Selenium web driver, but I'm looking for something with a GUI, that would quickly let me put together such workflows.

If something like the above doesn't exist, I would like to build it, but I do want to make sure that I'm not missing anything obvious first. I'm thinking of implementing a chrome extension that would use Web APIs to run the steps above. The GUI for building the workflows would live separately.
Just a priori this does not seem very likely to me. If you have budget that needs spending, it is key to spend it inconspicuously because as soon as a higher-up finds out that you are just wasting it to maintain your yearly allocation, they will still conclude that you need less next year (and that perhaps you ought to be fired.)
It's definitely not open source.
ChatGPT does have some feedback that can be used to evaluate, in the form of thumbs up/down buttons, which probably nobody uses, and positive/negative responses to its messages. People often say "thanks" or "perfect!" in responses, including very smart people who frequent here.
Can QEMU+KVM be made to replicate most of ESXi features? Sure. Does it do it out of the box? Not even close.

Case in point: QEMU now has support[0] for live migrating VM's RAM (like vMotion) and disk images (like Storage vMotion). But I'm not aware of any publicly-released cluster orchestration layer that does it for you - so you may need to build your own.

Happy to be proven wrong.

Google is absolutely awful at marketing. Strada was really impressive tech that let me play AAA games almost seamlessly on my old Thinkpad, and none of my friends knew what Strada was because of how it was marketed.
The upper and lower percentages are the most stressful. Modern electronic lowers the voltage to charge them. So charging them before they reach it is a good strategy.

Most clients using client side rendering which uses an awful amount of bandwidth and performs bad compared to VNC/RDP is not my idea of 'fine'.
Especially not if it's used to justify opposing a better solution.
Things other browsers have these days like split screen, all kinds of tabs and bookmark groupings honestly don't matter too much to me...

I just want PWAs and some of the (available in extensions as well) APIs like filesystem api. I'd switch in a heartbeat.

What prevents you from shipping bash with your solution?
I'll join the choir and say to not ever try to become an OpenGL expert. It's deep and kind of useless. First of all, if your application use OpenGL, either:

- you've unlimited resources for testing and vetting drivers, and you're working for huge CAO software that can tell users what to use.

- you don't have huge resources and then your only hope if to use an abstracted API like Skia, GDI, bgfx, IGL, WebGPU, anything other than using OpenGL directly.

It will just never work everywhere if you use OpenGL directly, and you won't be able to debug the driver or find all OS x drivers x GPU combination you need to debug it.

Your OpenGL-specific skills (avoiding driver bugs) will have very little value, but 3D-specific skills could. It's a waste of time that is only rivalled by learning C++. I would concentrate on abstracted API that avoid those driver bugs, or even learning a game engine to stay topdown.
This CAN't be a thing...?!
With the last battery operated device I worked on developing we reported the user 0% battery level when it was still at 15% actually, and we indicated 100% charge level when the battery was only at 85% (and the charger was also turned off at that level) - so we let the user charge and discharge anyway they want, and cheat a bit with the reported battery level, for protecting the battery itself, instead of relying on the user.

I imagine that most modern battery operated devices do something similar by default, unless they have a dedicated option to turn it on/off.
AI criticism is essentially people claiming that having access to something they don't like will end the world. As you say, we already have a good example of this and while it is mostly bad and getting worse it's not world-ending.

Yeah it's slightly obscure for a lot of people I think: most who do know of it seem to associate it purely with arithmetic, and rightly use `$((...))` instead.
it's always nice to see HN commenters with so much confidence in themselves that they feel they know a situation better than the people who are actually in the situation being discussed.

Do you really believe that they don't have skilled people on staff?

Do you really believe that your knowledge of what OpenAI is doing is a superset of the knowledge of the people who work at OpenAI?

Another explanation besides budget would be that fuel has an expiration date; regular petrol 3-6 months, diesel up to a year, after which it becomes gummy. It can be extended a bit with a stabilizer though.

But yeah, I can imagine militaries have a huge challenge stockpiling fuel without it expiring.
Could be. If it's not JIRA it's good though!
I understand what you describe, and it's possible consequences. But I would put forward two arguments;
1. Those who want to believe in bullshit conspiracies will do it regardless of the amount of citations in a research article terribly summarised by a clickbait web page of which they only read the headline. Any who can read more than 10words have been using and abusing google scholar for years to support their nonsense, the ability to find a reference does not equate to the ability to critically appraise the contents.
2. Science is a small world. In each specific field you get to know the big names and institutes, and those are used as a better gauge of the quality of a paper. The peer-review, for all it's pitfalls including its dependence on volunteers, does a good job at stemming a lot of bullshit. I'd proffer it's not the articles but rather the multiple for-profit publishing houses setting up multiple journals through which they funnel pay-to-publish articles that are contributing to the dilution of trust in published science. Again on that note, scientists in each field know which journals to trust and which to double check.
Why they write these articles like that? 10 pages long article about a proof... doesn't even mention what the proof is! Come on?
I'll reinforce what the parent is saying: for most users, Windows just works. Although I don't like Macs too much, they also just work.

I'm a Linux fan, but I can get myself productive in a new Windows install with no grief. For Linux, I always need to go online to remember "that config change" I had to make to get things working for me - and even then, from time to time I still have to tweak and work around a problem or two as I add more stuff to my computer. What you just wrote as your biggest issue is actually a fairly common Linux experience - submit or search logs from some piece of hardware to diagnose some little glitch.

I'm willing to put on the time, but my nobody else in my family is.

15kph is definitely not “a little faster”.

But maybe the more interesting discussion would be, why, apart from the obviously not true 30kph national speed limit, Latvia seems to be doing okay without this excess of speed?
> The European Patent Office declared a contested mRNA patent owned by Moderna (MRNA.O) invalid, the office said on Tuesday, handing a win to BioNTech (22UAy.DE) and its partner Pfizer (PFE.N) in a patent dispute between the two coronavirus vaccine makers.

Despite the obvious downsides, it's kinda beautiful in its simplicity.
The article doesn't say, but I assume it would be uncrewed?
>I'm on the fence about it. Any thoughts?

Discuss the thoughts at the top of the GitHub page so that your thinking and criteria are clear of why certain games are included an others are not. It's completely fine to exclude Civ -- it is kind of a unique game that aims to include many aspects of ancient and modern Civilizations from military conquest to scientistic research to engineering achievements. You could argue it's an aspect of the game but not a central game mechanic which the list aims to promote.

Don't over think it though -- it's just a list of games that supposed to be useful to whatever audience you have in mind. I'm just trying to rattle off suggestions anyhow and that makes the list better given many games were 'considered'.
Being able to extrapolate with newly found data.

You can get a LLM to simulate it "discovering" the pythagorean theorem, but can it actually, with the knowledge that was available at the time, discover the pythagorean theorem by itself?

Any parent will tell you, it's easy to simulate discovery and reasoning, it's a trick played for kids all the time. The actual, real stuff, that's way harder.
Everyone In my circle knew what stadia was, and knowing it was google was enough for them to avoid it. A choice that was ultimately the correct one.
Also Selenium has an "ide" in the form of an extension that can be used to record browser sessions, replay them, and modify - with a GUI. (At least last time I checked a few years ago, they had at least for firefox)
This is a human supremacy argument, essentially claiming that because we have a "soul" or because of something inherent in us that cannot be proven we are better than something else. You are free to believe this, but it is a matter of faith. Not of any sort of reasoning.
Is it in any way possible then and to what extent is it feasible to legislate that you must spend LESS than your budget or they'll make you cry even harder by taking away MORE money ;)

It’s for the kids. You meant to re-watch them millions of times, and that’s where the beauty lay. You see new details, you come to understand each second was thoroughly thought of. He is a genius, Hayao Miyazaki. Most of Disney / Pixar movies, you’re gonna hate them after a couple of re-watches.
If you're at all interested in the history and development of these kinds of aircraft and the process that went into them, I cannot recommend enough the book "Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years of Lockheed", by Ben Rich who was the second director. It covers the era of the U-2, SR-71, and the F-117 Nighthawk including the initial earliest development of stealth. Fascinating inside baseball about the politics of such things in the Cold War too, the various issues with different services. They did amazing work, and they did it on time and on budget, even as bureaucracy slowly got pushed in more.

It might be your salary requirement. I'd personally never hire someone who lives in NYC, London, or any other expensive city because the same salary is worth so much less. If I'm a small company paying someone $120-160k, I want them to live well and be able to afford the house or apartment they want.
