I think these progressions of technology are more likely to be like Moore's law: it might be true for a while but eventually it'll peter out. AI itself doesn't understand anything, and there's a limit to human understanding, so technological progression will eventually be self-limiting.

I do have the keycard in my wallet but often travel without it. On longer trips, my wife is usually with us so we have two phone keys and the likelihood of both of us forgetting to charge are slim ( also, the wireless pads in the car is where you usually store it )

Additionally, if I were to be stranded somewhere there are 2 other people with phone keys that I could contact for them to remotely open the car, or just find a charger somewhere.

I have had more bad luck losing physical phone keys in the past.
Ah yes your right about that still working on the people at those aspects.

Yea i'm loving the lowfi relaxing video type stuff you can do with this if you add stable diffusion video ontop of these ai images.

Going to add that video generation or generating a short slideshow with some options perhaps. I think video is on the up still e.g. tiktok

I see a lot of similarities between Hamas and other violent insurgent groups.

They are intransigent and will always chose violence over any other more reasonable option[1]. And take decades of concerted effort to stamp out. The Muslim Brotherhood still exists despite decades of efforts to suppress it.

[1] The sad thing is the road of violence is where the Palestinians are weakest. And the road of using shaming is where they are strongest.

This is a mdns repeater for (primarily home) networks. The "recommended" way is to use use PIM/IGMP but you can not control the specific mdns names that'll be repeated over the vlan boundary. There are a few other repeaters but nothing that would've worked for me so I wrote this. It still needs a few improvements around caching responses. mdns enabled devices do known prefix suppression which some times causes problems.
> Then peaceful protesters destroy the old fence, and we are back to square 0.

Shooting people who cross a border without permission, while also not
optimal in the case of peaceful protestors, is quite different than shooting peaceful protestors on the foreign side of your border in a territory you assert is not occupied and which further claim you have disenaged from and are not exerting control over.

Israel limiting its arbitrary murder zone to Israel proper would, while still arguably acting immorally, be at least acting consistently with its claim to have disengaged from and ended its occupation of Gaza. Baby steps.

Sure, a trivial strawman example.

But then, if you made not an OS but rather say, a search engine called “pane.io” and used a logo of a 4 pane window of different colors ?

I am open to being wrong here but I doubt it would have gone smoothly.

That doesn't seem to be true:

Russian President Vladimir Putin, his government and the Russian armed forces are desperate to hide the truth about the invasion, including the possible war crimes they are committing in Ukraine.

Re Suicide Bombers: By so far I meant in current conflict.

Re bombing and airstrikes: For not having the purpose of wrecking civilian infrastructure, the Israeli airforce sure did a great job at wrecking it regardless. And far more force, how? Cracking out the nukes?

The best strategy for Israel would have been to show retraint, because now Israel is slowly ending up as the villain of this story.

The problem with ad-free content is that rich people do not just want just "no adds". They do not want to be tracked, in order not to be stalked and harrassed by companies(or individuals like gold diggers or sellers or bankers). And they are rich so companies want to track them.

This is the reason you could not trust Google or Meta with ad-free stuff. They are already private intelligence(spying) agencies that already have the spying tech. Temptation is just too high.

Just pay people that create products and services without spying on you.

I bet repair costs on used are less than depreciatiom ...

There are more considerations than simply cost of repair. Used cars break more than new cars. You are more likely to need some sort of backup plan if you have a used car. I'd be fine here in Norway: My 25 year old car is only used a few times a month. Otherwise, my partner and I walk and/or use public transportation. But I'm lucky enough to live in an area with a fairly robust public transport and pedestrian path system.

I couldn't be this secure when I lived in Indiana. Most places had little public transport, and fewer had affordable public transport (taxis only, though they likely have uber now). These options only worked if you stayed in town - but if you were like a lot of Midwestern folks, you have to drive to work and working in the next town over wasn't uncommon.

Which means: Something happens to your car, you might wind up unemployed or minimally, it pushes you ever closer to being unemployed. Hope your kid doesn't get sick and you have to miss even more work.

I'll also add that "another low mileage car" will still be expensive and you won't generally save yourself a car payment. I was lucky to find mine and if it weren't for a friend finding it, I wouldn't have it at all.
>you can literally get a £50 adapter, leave it plugged in inside your armrest and voila, you have wireless carplay. It literally "just works".

I'm thankful for whichever Chinese engineers reversed the protocol for CarPlay to make this work. But my experience with these adapters is they are more fiddly than you're describing.
It depends massively on the airport layout. If you transit domestic to international at Heathrow Terminal 5 you don’t need to re pass security, just a boarding pass check and can stay in the sterile zone. If you fly out of another terminal though you have to transfer to the airside non sterile zone.

If you transit at Helsinki from the U.K. to the far east then no security check needed, but if you transit from Helsinki through london to Africa you do go through security

Some airports just do security at the gate. Some airports have multiple security at the gate - the airport/country, then a second security check by the airline.

Then there’s the spot checks, I’ve been through a second check occasionally flying out of the U.K. (MAN and LHR) to the US, normally don’t get it, but sometimes do.

There are no hard and fast rules.

EGS is not profitable as they are spending like crazy to try and gain users. But the EGS is not where Epic makes its money, that’s Fortnite for now.

The 12% is still more then enough to profitably be a platform middleman because it costs very very little and is basically pure profit to stay the course.

Hi - I'm Simon, and I've been leading the development on the low-level runtime bits for Zapbox.

We synthesise the views for the left and right eyes by projecting the camera image onto some assumed world geometry. Our 6-DoF experiences are generally designed for a table-top setting, and we project the camera onto an infinite plane on that table surface (there's a physical origin marker to define the origin of the space for the 6-DoF experiences). There's also a plane parallel to the device a few meters in the distance (to avoid a "horizon").

Sounds simple but for table-top experiences like viewing 3D models on a table it does give a convincing stereo effect - things like shadows from the model on the table just look right. Combined with the really low-latency display pipeline[1], the nice camera (1440x1080p @ 60fps), and the direct peripheral view of the real world thanks to the headset design gives a really pretty comfortable MR experience.

The next job will be improving the quality of the world geometry so that camera reprojection works better for static parts of the scene. We might try something live with lidar but for most rooms an offline process (or even manual placement and scaling of planes for walls / floors) would already provide a decent improvement.

The hardest part is foreground objects - hands, controllers, other people. Some scheme to detect and segment out those foreground bits and reproject them separately using an estimated depth map (whilst infilling the background layer for the static world) would be needed there. Complex in general but for things with known geometry ie controllers, it seems like something we should be able to do.

What's hopefully clear is that we're pushing to make the headset MR experience using your phone the best it can possibly be, given the limitations imposed by the hardware such as camera positioning. We're in a pretty good place already but there are definitely more improvements to come :)

[1] As this is HN, I can say a bit more technical stuff about the display pipeline... We have an iOS implementation for async timewarp - we've been able to circumvent the usual queuing of frames that happens on iOS to implement a late warp render just 3ms before a new frame starts scanning out. That means we can get a really recent camera frame (on iOS frames are delivered to the app around 20ms after capture) and also apply rotational reprojection for any movement since the frame was captured. Reprojecting for predicted translation at display time is on the roadmap too which should remove the last bit of noticeable latency when moving.
Humans are bad at watching out for rare possibilities, particularly when their job is repetitive, even moreso if they’re sleep deprived or simply zoned out for a bit.

I bet if you try this, you’d have a >3% chance of succeeding… and probably >33% with a vest, no hand luggage, and actively talking on the radio.

Dress as law enforcement, and you’ll have a 100% success rate.

As I said, depends on where flight originate and where they go. And to / from which terminal. For sure so you can change flights at MUC and FRA without passing security or border controls.
Yeah, but this is development of a brand new reusable superheavy launch system. Can't be cheap. We should keep that in mind and compare the comparable.

Looking at the Western space industry history, Starship development is only comparable to the Apollo or the Space Shuttle program - both of which would be insanely expensive in 2023 dollars, certainly exceeding 100 billion USD each, perhaps 300 billion USD in case of Apollo.
Being a co-founder, I often have to wear lots of different hats and needed a way to better manage multiple identities in my browser. I tried Chrome profiles and Firefox containers, but both felt messy. Instead, I wrote my own browser called Wavebox. It started as an Electron app but after quickly finding all the limitations, dropped Electron and built directly on top of Chromium. We're now approaching Wavebox's 7th birthday and going from strength to strength!

See my reply here for why the claim that Israel is actually trying to prevent civilian deaths (except to the point at which USA stops using its veto power to protect it, at least) is not taken seriously by almost anyone other than Israel's staunchest supporters: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38589626 . The level of devastation and the amount of killing that has been inflicted on Gaza by Israel so far deserves chastising regardless of one's opinion on viable military strategy — and this is not just a personal opinion of a random guy on the internet; refer to UN General Assembly resolutions (such as the one passed yesterday, Tuesday Dec 12) for what the vast majority of the world thinks about it.

West Bank is the best example of how Israel treats Palestinian civilians when there is no armed conflict. Hamas cannot be used as an excuse in that territory. To remove the reason for violent resistance to exist, there needs to be a viable alternative provided that would take away the reason to keep fighting. When Gazans look at the West Bank, they do not see a viable alternative but a life of enslavement, and that gives Hamas an easy way to recruit from a brutally oppressed population that feels that they have nothing to lose anyway.

Has Israel, being the overwhelmingly dominant force in the territory that holds all the cards, made an effort to provide that alternative? The evidence presented in [1] seems to suggest the contrary — that Netanyahu explicitly supported Hamas in order to keep violent resistance active and prevent Palestine uniting behind the peaceful faction of PA that he would then be forced to negotiate a two-state solution with. He, and those like him who do not wish to see the conflict end (for reasons that I imagine are related to the end-goal of establishing Greater Israel?), have actively decided to keep the violent resistance ongoing.

> According to various reports, Netanyahu made a similar point at a Likud faction meeting in early 2019, when he was quoted as saying that those who oppose a Palestinian state should support the transfer of funds to Gaza, because maintaining the separation between the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza would prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state.

The Witcher was pretty bad in its last season. I know multiple people who just stopped to watch it, because the show was too annoying for millions of reasons. I mean, I myself could not handle last series. Not just because of "faithfulness to source" issues, but because pacing, insufferable dialogs, characters that done makes sense etc.

And the series before that would be fine if it was not called the Witcher, but as it was it made any reasonable progress impossible.

The QR thing is really cool. Love it. I have often wondered how much "hard" data could be stored as images without loss in various environments such as iCloud, whatever Google has and so on.
If we're talking about the next few decades, I share your opinion. But beyond that I don't. We will eventually have to control and align systems more generally capable/smarter than us (assumption). I don't have your confidence that this will be as easy or risk-free as you're making it out to be.
I wanted to help my mom keep her mind busy, because she started having memory problems a few years after retiring.

So I made a game that is like Sudoku but uses 9-letter words instead of digits.

Technically, it’s just a simple substitution.

But playing it requires much more mental effort than you’d expect. Due to the fact that letters are shuffled, so it’s not easy to keep track of them.

Yeah try that sometime, because a random wandering clueless person which doesn't wear usual bright airport staff clothing wouldn't be visible form a mile for everybody who cares to look, and there are always staff folks driving around with radios. You would stick out a lot.

It doesn't mean that you will never ever succeed (that swiss cheese model mentioned elsewhere), but most probably (at least in western countries and modern airports) you will be caught quickly and go straight to airport jail. Or if you somehow make it then walk into airplane which is actually fully booked, probably same result.

That being said I once had a very stressful situation in the middle of the night in Mombasa, Kenya where I was changing flight to Tanzania, but directions where to go within airport were vague, random staff didn't have a clue and when I arrived at the door to buses the staff/stewardess just told me to wait. I waited and waited till departure time, they didn't care at all about me and my increasingly urgent questions. I raised this with some random airport staff who was just running around, he just yelled at that staff and took me running straight through runways in heavy rain to the correct flight which was about to depart with aircraft door already closed. This was 2011. Impossible in the west, maybe now even there.
In contrast to this, "comptime" is one of Zig's innovations which completely removes the need for preprocessors and code generators without leaving language you're programming in.

- With a friend we created SongStitch (https://songstitch.art/) because I wasn't satisfied with the performance and optimisations of existing last.fm collage generators. I embed a last.fm collage on my website, and previous generators didn't resizing, didn't compress well, and were slow causing me to be kicked out of the 250kb club—so it was good enough motivation to build SongStitch (https://github.com/nkoehring/250kb-club/issues/337). We also developed it as open source from the start https://github.com/SongStitch/song-stitch

- I created `gcopy` (https://github.com/TheDen/gcopy) because I wanted to extend `pbcopy` to copy nontext data from the terminal to the clipboard, so I could quickly paste such data in Slack (or as email attachments)—I got tried to having to find it the specific file in Finder to copy or drag it to an app. I've since aliased `pbcopy` to `gcopy` since it's a drop-in replacement.

In the spreadsheet the total of ALL the hours is 93,455,200,000 or ninety-three billion, four hundred fifty-five million, two hundred thousand hours.

And that's between January and June 2023.

If we say the typical working day is 8 hours and the week is 5 days and a typical full time worker works 42 weeks a year (factoring in holidays and sick leave), based on this report 55,628,095 or about 56 million years of human productivity spent staring at Netflix in the 1st half of 2023

Looking at it another way right now we have almost 8.1 billion people on the planet. The total hours reported in this spreadsheet averages to about 12 hours per person on the planet for the 1st 6 months of 2023.

Pretty mind boggling, especially when you consider this is only part of the story, compared to all the other entertainment media we spend time on (TikTok, Instagram etc.)
