Right now I've got email, todolist, 3 docs, 2x HN tabs, 6 bugs that I've been working on today, 5 experiment reports that I've been investigating, ~10 iterations of build results as I've been working through fixing a bug.

Do I need all of these? No. But figuring out which I don't need is more work so some will just accumulate for a while and once every few days I close everything.

Arc does a good job of expiring old tabs and also of letting me bump the priority of a tab in various ways.
sorry, you seem to be right. I got confused by their github presence which despite the name, doesn't contain their product.

Stripping DRM, making "your" books really your own books, and then transferring, storing and reading them however you damn well please are the sequence of simple solutions to the corporate/legal crap that's so common these days and to the parasitic garbage described in the article.

Also, just resorting to plain pirate copy torrenting and download, because if the combination of legal players who make getting your own DIGITAL copy of book so bloody complicated and restricted want to take that route, they deserve a few leaks in revenue.
This has happened with books already and nothing (arguably) broke.
I've not tried this on Windows, but might actually work if you run the packager. Try it. If it doesn't work, there shouldn't be too much that is macOS specific -- so you should be able to tweak the underlying code to work with Windows with fairly few changes.
I rather like some of the semi religious aspects. Where I am the religion tends to imply you go to heaven and float around with the angels when you die but most people don't believe it so funerals are rather depressing affairs. We may have the chance to move to something like uploading and an afterlife like Second Life or Fortnite or something. Or even better than those!
C didn’t require extensions to write a function that takes as its parameters an array of integers and the length of the array. Looking into this again (after ~30 years!) I see that ISO Pascal did have an optional 'conformant arrays' feature that could handle this kind of basic case, but it was far less flexible (albeit safer) than C's array handling, and wasn't implemented by all compilers.

I’m not sure where you are seeing 'Pascal naysayers'. I’m just pointing out an issue with the language that may have affected adoption. Neither Pascal nor C really got arrays 'right', but C never got in your way.

I always found it odd that sensitive apps like Banking I could just fall back to the same pin I use on my phone... that seems a bit wrong?

Like ok I get it, there should be a fall back to biometrics not working for whatever reason. But for getting into your phone, but for apps that use biometrics since generally those have their own fall back of just using your password to login.

Unless I am missing it, I don't see this being a change here? I hope that is coming if not.
Yes, if the update has to be required by regulators.
Makes sense. No theft deterrence is perfect, and your solution required a lot of investment of time and would not scale to a substantially large theft ring.

> As I mentioned, I think high quality apps will overwhelmingly still offer a convenient way to pay using IAP,

Really? right now, to rent a video on Prime on android, you have to switch to a web browser. Netflix doesn't let you sign up in app. Epic decide to sue Apple and Google to avoid paying the IAP fees. All the signs point to major players being willing to circumvent the app store for

> Before all of this you had no choice if you didn't like, for instance, giving your credit card information to Google, or if you wanted more of your money to support the app you were using

Sure you do, sign up outside the app like Netflix and co provide support for. In fact, if you go look at other aplications taht offer payment outside of the app store, you can likely already do that. Calm, for example offers a discount if you punch your details into the form online.

Here's an example of exactly what's going to happen - I live outside the US and I signed up for NYT Cooking on their website. In order to cancel it, I have to _phone_ them to cancel.

This will not give customers "more choice", this will allow Billion dollar companies like Epic, Meta, Netflix to run their own app stores and force you to download from there instead.
Sure but only for companies banking on grabbing users before stopping free-tiers or raising prices to match actual GPU/compute costs like MS/OpenAI/GitHub Copilot etc.

The rest are able to deliver great classification, summarisation, extraction, QnA & automated customer care & art(?).
I don't suggest that at all. What Tesla did was to create an electric car with good user experience without developing any revolutionary tech. That's what Theranos should have done, create a good user experience on the existing tech. They did wrong by betting on inventing the tech.

If Tesla's prime value proposal was to invent some tech that will do something revolutionary, they would have gone bust like Theranos. Instead, they built charging network and kick ass infotainments system that made their electric cars practical.
Even if Matt is correct in his statement, that could still be entirely logical and +EV for them.

If you tell me there’s an 89% chance that my experiment with gen-AI will yield nothing, all I need is for the payoff of that experiment to have a net-present-value of 10x my investment in the experiment for it to be an experiment worth considering. (Even less if some of that 89% will inform future experiments, even if there’s no current monetary payback.)
i think its a decent concept.

had musk not purchased tesla after the roadster was built, all of his claims would have been utter bull. now that there was an entry electric car he could spin any tale or justify any hype by pointing to the one functioning model.

from there it was absolutely the modern car manufacturers game, promise a concept, deliver some part of it, talk about next quarter.

frankly having level 4 self driving pulled of by mercedes in california first should be the ultimate proof. merc did it in house faster without hyping it. wild
Who the heck cares if AGI will 100% mimick humans and human minds, that's purely academic discussion.

What is a serious concern are overall capabilities (let's say penetration of networks and installing hacks across whole internet and further), combined with say malevolency.

Its trivial to judge mankind from whole internet as something to be removed from this planet for greater good or maybe managed tightly in some cozy concentration camps, just look at the freakin' news. Let's stop kidding ourselves, we are often very deeply flawed and literally nobody alive is or ever was perfect, despite what religions try to say.

I am concerned about some capable form of AI/AGI exactly because it will grok humanity based on purely data available. And lack of any significant control or even understanding of what's actually happening to those models and how they evolve their knowledge/opinions.

Even if the risk is 1%, that's existential risk we are running towards blindly. And I honestly think its way higher than 1%. Even if I will be proven wrong some proper caution is a smart approach.

But you can't expect when people's net wealth tightly coupled with moving as fast as possible and ignoring those concerns to do the best decisions for future of mankind, that's a pipe dream in a same vein as proper communism is. If that would be the case very few bright people would work at facebook for example (and many many other companies including parts of my own).

The "meal replacement" industry is exactly what I am thinking about. I know some of them are marketed as essentially premade low-caloric meals, that theoretically make it easy to do calorie-counting. At least that has some kind of niche application that I get the use-case for.

But those other ones, are freaky - the ones that are designed to be allround [food] for humans, in the same way that a dog can eat exclusively a specific type of dogfood indefinitely. Why the need/desire to do this? It's like something out of classic dystopian sci-fi, only it's chosen voluntarily by people with access to real(ish) food, and they pay a premium for it.

I think you're correct about this effort to cram more 'stuff' into life instead of taking our time to engage with less in a deeper way, being counterproductive to the things that make us happy. Maybe some internalized mindset of productivity for its own sake, completely unmoored from the managerial context? Some kind of cargo-cult type performance to attract what - prosperity? Happiness?

I don't really have a good answer for why this happens, but it's certainly interesting.

That's funny, because I'm a PAID subscriber to The Economist, and on opening the page, there is a big ad banner on the top and other on the right, filling more than half the space.

Ok fair enough. I've never heard them boast about this as an advantage in their other material (release notes, YouTube videos). I don't think this is really an advantage until they do actually have a different engine that you can swap out. Right now it feels very tied to Chromium.

They have however done some cool things with running Swift on Windows and rendering the UI via Windows APIs.

Thanks! Very clear explanation!

So then it depends on if whatever code loaded the elf section does any validation of the data it reads. I can't help but thinking the whole code could use some structs and/or "getter setters" to talk dirty objective oriented speak. It needn't be that though, it could be as low level as some macros which helps doing the right thing with signedness and such. But my main impression is that a lot of the data structure semantics is kept in the heads of programmers instead of being formalised in the code.

In C there is always the opportunity to run with scissors in the middle of the road, but you can do a lot to protect yourself too, without loosing much, if any, performance.

FSD is a brand name, it’s not a term of the art.

I despise this trend-chasing marketing, and mentally downgrade products or companies that do this. Unfortunately it seems that you are right and too many people buy into it or at least do not mind it.
I haven't tried any of those suggestions, regrettably; as I've heard good things about them.

But it's not just familiarity, but also about compatibility: I need to be able to open my PSD/AI files going back decades with absolute fidelity; and I know one of the dirty secrets of other programs that claim to have "PSD compatibility" is that they just read the composite version of the image, instead of being able to import individual layers with blending/effects settings, etc.
I created an open source library that turns structured text data (YAML) in a Git repository on the fly into a GraphQL API with CRUD queries / mutations.

All that is needed in the repository is a plain text GraphQL schema file that defines what the data structures look like. The Git repository itself can be located on GitHub, GitLab, or in the local filesystem.

> If the performance and code size optimization is anywhere close, we're just a few steps away from C# on microcontrollers

My short fooray into Microcontrollers has shown that all the software development experience for them is absolute garbage.

The quality of IDE's is terrible, the quality of libraries is terrible, portability of libraries is terrible, community support and hope of finding existing library for some sensor is low, etc.

The actual programming language is only a small part of the problem.

So if we just replaced C++ with C# nothing would change.

But actually it would. Because expectations of developers of C#/Python/JS are different, they are not used to C hell of managing individual registers. They want libraries that actually work, their culture is that libraries should be portable.

So it would require a different attitude to work. It would force a different attitude.

Or maybe it's because Autopilot doesn't drive as smooth as a real person and the display shows jagged lines where the road should be.

You really have to trust the system but it's making it hard to do so if you are skeptic.
Indeed. The USA has the freedom not to be compatible with EU law and decided to prefer the ability to deny European citizens appropriate data protection over letting American companies hold EU citizens' data.

I'm not sure what drives the EU to form such meaningless pacts every couple of years. I'm guessing a combination of lobbyists and sucking up to the American government are the driving force behind these deals. It's rather sad, really.

It's not a difficult problem as long as you have radar/lidar and not just computer vision as input.

I understand computer vision could be used as primary input, but IMO it should be mandatory to have some kind of proximity sensor as backup input.

Proximity sensor senses something, speed vector indicates collision in X seconds => stop
Nice, that's good to know. It's a 2023 Toyota Sienna, and historically Toyota has been the most sensible of cars I've driven (much, much better than Ford).

If an argument is conceivable, there is always at least one HNer who will feel compelled to make it.

This is only true if you start with "We have to use AI, let's find a problem". There are plenty of production-ready use cases such as retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and generative AI to assist with the creative writing or illustration process.

There are also plenty of ways to spend way more money than necessary. Plenty of great open source solutions that have almost caught up as we end 2023.
That uncertainty is called risk! That is exactly the whole point!
Exactly, Theranos' R&D is also capable of threatening people's health by giving too inacurate results. Instead, they should have made an App that coordinates healthcare providers with service points where modified for automation Siemens machines are used. When asked about the single drop tests, just say its coming in 2 years and if the tech and science develops enough some time in the future they can do that too.

I find Arc's marketing around the lack of Google features a little disingenuous. They claim to not log any PII data, which is admirable, but they don't mention IP addresses as PII data and most likely do have that incidentally, or might need it for abuse prevention, and they haven't had third party security audits.
Pretty sure Instagram thots and memes have killed more than Teslas. I'd bet a lot of money on that.

> A recall is a mandatory fix that the manufacturer is obligated to provide at no charge and to proactively notify customers of. It comes with reporting obligations and long term warranty implications.

This does make sense; but I would nonetheless suggest to the auto industry that they change the wording somehow. Fifty years ago any such mandatory fix certainly did mean making manual modifications to each individual car, whether in a service shop or by replacing the whole thing. That's no longer the case, and risks significant public misunderstanding.

Here in the UK they have loads of "archaisms":

- pavement: A place for pedestrians to walk on the side of a road; what Americans call a "sidewalk". Named because 200 years ago, the roads were dirt but sidewalks were paved. Now the roads are paved too, but they kept calling it "pavement"

- public school: A very posh private school; e.g., Eton. Named (as I understand it) because your children were taught in public, rather than in the home by a private tutor / governess / whatever.
The war is certainly an existential threat to the Russian regime and to Putin personally, though not to Russia as a concept. See also Afghanistan, which was a huge contributor to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Like, in 20 years there will almost certainly be a country called Russia, but it does seem _fairly_ likely that Putin will end up being very careless around a staircase or window or accidentally stabbing himself to death while shaving or whatever. Failed dictators get very accident-prone around such things.
There wasn't any hyperbole. It's loud enough that it is physically painful, not just annoying. And if you read what I said, it's not the "occasional beep", it's a continual blast of loud tones. And I already looked through the car settings for the horn, and it can't be turned off. Some people on the internet have figured out how to hack it off with OBD2, but if that's what you're suggesting then that's ludicrous and extreme HN bubble. I tried it anyway, but even if it had worked, suggesting people do that is not in any way a reasonable answer to the problem (though is more reasonable than what you're doing, which is dismissing it as not real without even experiencing it).

And thanks for the free medical advice, but I actually have talked to a doctor and I actually have minor hearing loss, not hearing gain or whatever medical "problem" you think might cause people to hear something louder than it is.
As a non paying ublock origin user, I don't see any ads. The ad-free internet has already been here for a long time if you are willing to spend 10 minutes install ublock origin. Paying is actually worse, because it shows the fact that you have some amount of disposable income and are willing to pay for things, which greatly increases the value of advertising to you specifically.
If we were talking about ensuring the driver is wearing a seatbelt, then I would agree with your point as that has no direct impact on the performance of Autopilot. However, Autopilot requires a 'fully attentive driver' to function as intended. Improving the safety features of a component required for it to function does improve the safety of Autopilot.

Autopilot is a suite of driver assistance features.

The driver assistance features can't assist the driver if there is no driver because they've moved to the backseat.
I run ads on amazon. I have around 40 campaigns running in the US, and a dozen more outside of the US. Adjusting the bids each day was becoming a chore, so I created a Chrome plugin that basically does the math for me and tells me what to bid.

I still have to go into each campaign but no more copying the data into excel or using a calculator to figure out what the bid should be. Probably saves me 30 min a day.
