> 1. Be extremely deliberate about your audience sequencing. Think about the first 1k, the first 10k, the first 100k, and the first 1M customers. [snip] the right product to fit your audiences’ needs to reach each subsequent level of scale.

This matters for any startup. All those wasted pitches taking about total addressable market (common enough to be given an acronym TAM). Although still need to avoid waterfall thinking. My internal metaphor has always been running up a hundred steps instead of planning to run headlong into a wall a hundred metres high. First time I've heard "audience sequencing" - is there a better name for this?

> computational photography does mean you can just push a button without thinking and get a clear picture that captures a memory.

I'd argue that the women trying to take a photo of herself in her wedding dress did not get a clear picture that captures a memory. She got a very confusing picture that captured something which never happened. There are lots of great automatic camera features which are super helpful, but don't falsify events. If I take a picture of my kid I want my actual child in the photo, not a cobbled together AI generated monstrosity of what apple thinks my kid ought to have looked like in that moment.

Automatic cameras are great. Cameras that outright lie to you are not.
The instructions change a bit over time, with macOS upgrades and changes re: brew itself, but in my experience brew has a superb track record of making sure the `brew info` instructions are an exact match for what you need to do for your setup.

For the system Java wrappers to find this JDK, symlink it with

openjdk is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because macOS provides similar software and installing this software in

> When you talk to a client, a colleague or a loved one we’re on the verge of you conversing with a model that mostly represents their image and voice (you hope)

Wow, this threw me for a loop. There’s not much difference between talking to a heavily filtered image of a person and texting with them. Both the image and the words are merely representations of the person. Even eye-to-skin perceiving someone is a representation of their “person” to a degree. The important part is that “how” and “how much” the representation differs from reality is known to the observer
That’s still a cool shortcut I didn’t know about. It not only switches to video but it “gates” the button press so it only records a video for as long as you press the button

My grandfather was apparently known quite widely as "Mr. Horsepower". He would go around to people's farms with his 25 horsepower steam engine and win tug-of-war competitions against 100 horsepower combustion engines. He'd then give lectures on why this was possible.

The crux of the matter is that horsepower is an instantaneous measure. There's a sweet spot just after the combustion where a 100 hp engine is indeed producing 100 hp, but it doesn't last for very long. Steam engines generate power more evenly (more area under the curve) so ones that are rated for less power may in fact be capable of more work.

There wasn't much about him for an eight year old to appreciate, but every time I see an article on steam power I end up wishing he'd have lived longer so I could've known him as an adult.
> Do people really look at SUVs and think "wow, is that thing pretty?"

Nope. Current cars are pretty ugly.

But holy moly the Cybertruck is a whole new level of even uglier.

The rounded, bulbuous shape of modern cars finally made sense to me when I understood it was all about occupant safety in collisions and fuel efficiency. Modern cars have the shapes they do mostly for engineering reasons, not aesthetic reasons.

But the Cybertruck seems like what a solo road warrior cruising through a dystopian hellscape would drive while pirates try to take him out with machine guns. Fun in a movie, but not the vibe I want to put out in real life.

That’s strange because I care a lot about color, datavis, and generally agree with these types of articles.
> If a driver sees me walking in the crosswalk and notices that our paths will intersect, he speeds up. Everyone does it and everyone accepts the behavior

It's a weird experience reading this about something I've never done nor really observed very often. People speed up when they see a pedestrian in a crosswalk? I see people stopping for pedestrians all the time. Sometimes cars will stop for me when I wish they wouldn't: just keep going, you were fine, I'm still like 5 seconds away from your path.

> The car is there “by default” and the pedestrian must ask permission to enter their realm

That's such a weirdly negative way of looking at the world. Dozens to hundreds of cars pass per minute and fewer than one pedestrian does (on average), so the pedestrian notifies the intersection that they're there. You'd rather every single light cycle assume pedestrians are crossing, even when 95% of the time they're not? You'd like to waste every driver's time to make some point about society?

There are plenty of intersections where a very minor road crosses a main road. When cars come to the intersection on the minor road, they "hit the button" by driving over the sensor, and the intersection knows they're there. Are they the poor pathetic outsiders "asking for permission" to "enter the realm" of the major street? I guess you could look at it that way if you wanted to be angry all the time. It's just simple optimization to make as many people as happy as possible. Just hit the damn walk button; it's fine.

Most trucks are body-on-frame, i.e. there's a structural frame with a non-structrual body on top. Tesla claims to use an "exoskeleton" approach, which is either a fancy name for unibody or something that goes beyond the unibody approach.

They're also using unpainted 3mm stainless steel directly on the exterior. Painted thin sheet surfaces are much easier to fix when dented (since you can use filler and hide it with the paint).

One downside is that these two things make any damage to the Cybertruck expensive or impossible to fix.

Their production method (relying on massive die cast presses) isn't specific to the Cybertruck, but the presses that were supposed to be meant for Cybertruck apparently were setting new records.

> Why do you need somebody's permission to do math with numbers? Makes no sense whatsoever.

It's part of a very sensible legal framework to incentivize the creation and publication of hard-to-find numbers that you value very much.

I hate intellectual property as much as the next guy, but it's not nonsense.

> Just a number really. That's all intellectual work is: a number.

You saw that everything could be encoded in a number, and instead of expanding your view of what a number could be, it diminished your view of everything else. That's depressing.
I would say that yes, at any given moment in time, the pedestrian is responsible for themselves if they want to stay safe. It's too late for any laws at that moment. You either notice the car isn't slowing down and avoid stepping out, or you do step out and hope for the best. Not a good way to stay alive.

I don't think this is true, Apple hasn't openly said they do this level of manipulation (although that doesn't mean they don't necessarily), and I don't think the range of motions she would have to go through would be possible within a single capture. Even with "Live Photos" this wouldn't happen.
My best guess is that there was a brightness gradient across the scene, and this is the result of tone mapping from an EV bracketed burst. This might result in “time delay” instead of the more typical “ghosting” artifacts.
The point is you can act like whatever you want, and so can everybody else, and often that means they'll be idiots, often in consequential ways. That's life.
I don't see chrome having that problem and it doesn't enforce similar signing requirements. Mozilla's decision was either ill thought out or was not motivated by "online security".

Often times people ask (even here on HN) whether the Romans could have built steam engines.

Here's my theory: yes, absolutely.

Technologies evolve for either military use or non-military use. Military technologies are subject to evolutionary pressures that are easily 100 to 1000 times higher than non-military technologies. An iron plow will do a better job than a wooden plow, but in the end it's just a matter of slightly increased productivity. But an iron sword vs a wooden alternative, that's life and death.

Military technologies, throughout ages, evolved many times faster than civilian ones. Do you think the technology to make an iron sword is harder, or simpler than the technology to distill spirits? Obviously harder, maybe 100 times so. Yet, swords appeared 5000 years ago, spirits about 1000 years ago. The Romans developed a huge industrial base capable of churning hundreds of thousands of "lorica segmentata" armors, yet, their technology when it came to textile dyes was absolutely pathetic. Etc, etc.

My point is the steam engine emerged as a civilian technology, not a military one. Once it matured, it powered battleships, so it obviously acquired a military relevance, but in the times of Watt, it was definitely civilian.

But could we have lived in an alternate history where the steam engine appeared as a military technology? If so, then it could have evolved many times faster, and I contend that I can see a scenario where the Romans (well, the Eastern Roman empire) could have initiated an industrial revolution. Centered around oil (petroleum), not coal. Hint: they possessed the Greek fire, a fundamental military technology. For some reason the Greek fire disappeared, and history evolved fire weapons starting with cannons. But it's entirely reasonable to think the fire weapons evolved out of Greek fire (i.e. flamethrowers), and this would have stimulated a healthy trade in petroleum, 1000 years before the real history.
Where I'm at, it's applications that teams don't want to spend time moving to containers, or they claim the app runs better on dedicated VMs, and in other cases they just aren't ready to move yet and still need to add capacity until that time comes. Even teams that are utilizing containers heavily in some areas are still building hundreds of VMs for other parts of the app.

Containers first might be fine for a net new application. But if something is already 10-20 years old, that isn't going to change overnight. I think it would take something drastic for us to get off VMs completely, even if I'm looking 5-10 years out.
I hope they learned from the Titan submersible to always go at least one step up from the cheapest game controller.

I see, it depends on what you consider a 'good lap'. I expect it might be able to do Nurburgring faster than many cars I consider nimble.

But I also don't think that 0 to 60 in 2.6s is 'a loser'. Cars that take twice as much feel already very fast to me.
Well, in the big camera world, birding and wildlife means huge and expensive lenses that are both fast (i.e. they let a lot of light in) and have a large focal length. The fact that you can even attempt to take similar photos on something as tiny as a phone camera and have the object come out recognizable is nothing short of amazing.

Not to mention, Qualcomm has a pretty bad history of meeting its promised dates.

Now, in 2023, it claims to be on track to shipping M-series-level chips in 2024. At least that date is still in the future, but I think it should be looked at skeptically in light of their past unfulfilled promises.

The camera in this case wasn't taking many shots and selecting one. It wasn't just combining exposures either. It did a bunch of shitty cut/paste operations to produce an altered composite image which showed something that never happened.

Some automatic features are wonderful. People have been able to take pictures of fast moving toddlers and pets for ages because of them. The camera "features" that secretly alter images to create lies and don't give you a photograph of what you asked them to capture are a problem.
Seems like Linux laptops are generally not known for their great battery life. Would certainly be an issue for many laptop users.

Ah yes, for all those people using their iphone to make true art instead of for taking a selfie.

The market for cell phone cameras are generally casual users. High end artists generally use fancy cameras. Different trade offs for different use cases.
I’m also skeptical. I want it to be true, because it’s pretty wild, but it seems a little too perfect. I suppose people must already be trying to prove or disprove it.
