It looks to me like the UK hasn't figured out what it's going to be when it grows up and finally realizes it doesn't have an empire any more.

Is it a global near hegemon woth the worlds greatest navy and global setter of trends and parliamentary practices?

Or a middle sized overpopulated country wih bad weather and disgruntled populace.
If you're serious, there is a difference between ransoming a functionality that is already provided vs delivering something new. I know about the economic arguments, but both in perception and reality, it's not the same thing to say "pay us to turn this on" as it is to pay to buy something new. No amount of mental gymnastics will change that.
Take a quick look at your phone.
So I have an Oura ring, and I find it helpful and able to tell if I'm ill or beat down at a level I wouldn't notice myself. For me, this is useful; it gives me some feedback I previously ignored or wasn't aware of.

Ideally, I'll start being able to tell how well I'm doing at the same fidelity the ring can, in a biofeedback sense, and then I won't need it.

But one thing I always wonder about is the sleep data. To what extent do they fit what they see to some training data? It says I'm in deep sleep at certain times, but if I was incapable of entering deep sleep, would it tell me, or would it overfit to the average and say I was probably in deep sleep at the times I should have been?

( I've seen this with heart rate monitors before. If I get above 180 running, it will sometimes say my heart is at 60, presumably because its got some range it expects you in, and so it's assuming its getting the data wrong and correcting away the actual data. )

Or, more generally, how do we know these devices are reporting what they say they are? How do we tell random made-up data from genuine actionable insights?
user-agent should just be dropped altogether.

For the same reason all browser's user agents are prefixed Mozilla/5.0, all browsers end up all lying anyway.

Let's all machines be an iphone or windows NT/10 device and forget about this shit.
When I think about the endgame of capitalism, I think about the kids in coalmines and the gilded age, the extractive and horrible conditions that allow for widespread unfulfilling company-store-owned worklife to flourish under the guise of progress.

I'm not sure if there are any solid alternatives for this endgame actually, but we may already be in it, and pervasive addiction to me seem to go hand it hand with unhappiness.
>Tesla cars are killing fewer people per mile than competitors

NHTSA data doesn't indicate so from what I read. Assuming by competitor you mean a recent car equipped with a competitors driver assist technology.
Oddly enough, I bet the farm on Pascal. I learned Pascal in high school after taking a course in BASIC, and I read about C -- maybe in Byte Magazine. To me, Pascal seemed much more elegant and readable, and pointer arithmetic seemed like a bug factory. I was supremely confident, like any teenager, that I knew my ** and that Pascal would win out over C.
Amazing... yes, but there are also obvious drawbacks. Take a look at any big thread that has manual and clunky pagination on it, or the site being down because a single provider or disk crapped out. Totally acceptable and fine things depending on the scale of what you're trying to achieve, and especially so for a free website... but it can definitely be better (no, I'm not talking about microservices in Kubernetes on the Edge in the Cloud powered by AI).
Sure, the electrical that you know when you plan the house. But additional work later on too ?

What a disgusting way to format ternaries, nested or not. No wonder it looks like a mess when you format like that, its like the author is going out of his way to find the most ugly, messy way to style the code.

While I agree that ternaries generally shouldnt be nested for readability, the way the author formats his code, does ternaries a huge disservice:

Sane, normal people:

const animalName =
pet.canBark()
? pet.isScary()
? 'wolf'
: 'dog'
: pet.canMeow()
? 'cat'
: 'probably a bunny';

Vs the style of the author:

const animalName =
pet.canBark() ?
pet.isScary() ?
'wolf'
: 'dog'
: pet.canMeow() ? 'cat'
: 'probably a bunny';

So Google is then knowingly participating in financial scams? Looks like grounds for a lawsuit.
Thanks for your answer. I will try to clarify a bit.

Of course we all know the books are going to be written in English. I am not trying to ask for an idiot-proof label stating the obvious lest a reader might waste a click expecting German-language books.

The point I am trying to make is that the word "book" in the dominant anglosphere has come to mean almost exclusively books coming from an English-speaking country (and even among those I'm sure the proportions are skewed towards the US/UK, although I would be happy to be disproved). So if I discuss "books" in an English conversation (English being the language we are all forced to speak globally now) it is often implicitly expected that we are discussing those books, the books of the anglosphere. Some food for thought, less than 1% of books read in the US are translations[0], which is not the case in other countries (if only because a lot of countries read a lot of translated books from.. English).

> If I was visiting a site written entirely in French I would have zero expectation that any book list would clarify that the books are French language

This comment seems to assume that all languages are equal and interchangeable; they are not. This is maybe hard to realize from within the English-speaking global culture, but other languages are now vassals of English. What I'm saying is that it would be a small act of acknowledgement of this hegemony to remember what is being left out of the conversation.

Do you have a reference for the LiDAR sensor being used Apple’s spatial/stereo video?

It has a slow startup time, limited range, and low resolution.

Possibly it could be used for depth calibration but I doubted it would be used for depth information.
I wonder about the legality of the ads that say to go to a website to sign up for government money.
Interesting they both do.

Does Qdrant look like a winning horse then?

Was about to use Weaviate for a project today and this gives me pause. Anyone have some strong opinions? pg_vector also been on my radar recently. Qdrant vs Weaviate I know is partially a rust vs go topic.
Because your mega advertisers (Coca Cola, Disney, et al) are being played next to scam ads.

Also I think this should be a two way street. If content creators need to moderate their content lest they be slapped to death by Youtube to help the advertisers, advertisers also have a responsibility to ensure their advertisements do not cause issue for content creators and/or viewers.

It's unclear who currently runs Youtube, but they have been making bad decision after bad decision. Youtube is now extremely hostile which goes against the values it once held when it first grew.

Depends on what type of subscription business it is. I've heard meal kit companies like Hello Fresh lose 90% of their customers in less than 12 months, as the generous new customer discount vouchers tail off.

(Not that meal kit companies would be paying Apple 30%)
The title should be changed to reflect that, but I wouldn't put it off with a simple "That's it"

Misleading customers is misleading customers. If you're dishonest in the simple things, how dishonest are you with everything else?
How so? This method (monitoring connections through network proxy) is perfectly viable for detecting outbound connections from a browser. If a browser makes an unwanted connection to the browser vendor and/or third party site, that is unwanted telemetry. Regardless of what the purpose of that request was, user's IP address has been transmitted (hence telemetry from user standpoint) and users's privacy was not respected. Client source code is irrelevant from the standpoint of privacy, as such requests are processed server side and to my knowledge no browser with telemetry has open sourced their server side data processing code.

Drives me crazy how regressive Apple is with computing. While it seemed to shake out that GPU AI was the only real solution, earlier this year people were(and still are) putting resources into CPU based.

I can't imagine someone @-ing me because when they were 18 years old and status insecure, someone sold them a corporate identity and feel entitled to maintain their edge case.

I need to stop giving away my stuff for free.
> Regulators waited to see if the crypto industry could deliver the promised value to society. If crypto is useful then it can be made to fit within the regulatory framework. If crypto is just a facilitator of fraud and ponzi schemes then harsh regulatory action is justified. Crypto largely has not delivered on its promises, and now the wheels of justice have started grinding.

the moment it was regulated like a security, it prevented anyone from using bitcoin/shitcoin as an actual currency.
If you’re getting side effects, obviously it might be worth stopping your caffeine intake. But if you aren’t, there are a host of benefits of taking caffeine beyond just wakefulness: https://examine.com/supplements/caffeine/
you mean spying on American citizens without a warrant?
But this is a false advertising claim. It's not reasonable for regulators to adopt a wait and see approach on false advertising. False advertising is not innovation and has no positive value.

Plenty of people selling WebAssembly as if the first of a kind across social media and VC backed products.

Now we even get kubernetes with WASM containers redoing IBM mainframes/micro computers, Java and .NET application servers as if never done before.
definitely they view it that way, as well as viewing the app review process as something that adds customer value. I mean they were quite clear on all that from day 1, that they thought they were solving customer problems. And of course when you think you have solved customer problems you expect to get rewarded, and then some years down the road your solution isn't that great anymore but you just don't want to let go of any of that sweet, sweet reward.
Yeah, there are animals much worse than beavers--some of them even walk on two legs!
Both are bad for consumers, but one is worse.

A locked garden is a locked garden. But a locked garden that you go into knowing it's a locked garden is better than a locked garden that advertises itself as open and then locks you in. Both are locked gardens; one is also false advertising.
You also got stuck in the infinite cookie loop? I've seen some aggressive cookie pop-ups before, but never one that bad.
I really want an Apple Watch, but without the watch, because I can't find another fitness tracker that does the same and integrates into Apples Health app. I just don't want it enough to start wearing a watch.
>If you're serious, there is a difference between ransoming a functionality that is already provided vs delivering something new.

Do you feel the same about software/SaaS that gate features to different license tiers? After all, the functionality is already in the code.

Then report the bug like an adult instead of acting like you found some huge published vulnerability in code that was posted for peer review. Thats why the code is there, so others can identify issues; congrats, you did.

People make mistakes in every project. So grow up
I tried it yesterday until far past midnight.

gomponents is amazing! I find the abstractions just right. it now looks possible that I can port my minimalistic bun/deno setup with htmx to go.

I found "gow" watcher that allows auto-restart of the development webserver when go code was changed. And I'm using "hx-refresh" header paramter and "hx-trigger='every 250ms'" to have a simple polling browser refresh.

it also integrates well with tailwind css. you can use tailwind vscode extension and define a custom "classRegex" for gomponents "Class(...)" function.

I needed to write a custom `Classes()` function that allows me to have conditional classes like `clsx()`. it's a bit hacky, but I like the simplicity.

func Classes(nodes ...g.Node) g.Node {
var classes []string
for _, node := range nodes {
if node != nil {
var builder strings.Builder
_ = node.Render(&builder)
c := builder.String()
c = strings.TrimLeft(c, " class=\"")
c = strings.TrimRight(c, "\"")
classes = append(classes, c)
}
}
return Class(strings.Join(classes, " "))
}

the runtime panics for functions that use vararg for optional arguments and have an invalid number of arguments is probably an okayish trade-off. mixing attributes and children elements in the builder functions, I don't know if it's good or bad, but I like the simplicity; JSX and hyperscript-like functions separate tag, attributes, and children into three different parameters.

edit: reformat and typos.
Microsoft is a scary company. I try to avoid all business with them if possible.
> stuff that Apple could have just documented

I am not sure if this is valid point. Why would they document publicly something, what is supposed to use just by them?

Their business model goes directly against that. But it is not just Apple but any closed source project. No point on wasting resources to document publicly something which would weaken their own business model. Not saying that it is good for general good, but makes no sense from business point of view.

Anyway, if you document something too well, just same to make it open-source instead.
> It's perfectly reasonable for regulators to adopt a "wait and see" approach to outlandish claims about safety and self-driving technology

No, it is not. If there are things that you do not "wait and see" with, it's safety out in the public. What's next, Boeing developing a new plane and rolling it out to the public without any sort of controls if it doesn't fall apart or try to crash itself because Boeing are negligently incompetent?

Crypto, sure, what's the worst that could happen? Medical tests? Sure, as long as they're double checked initially. Juice making machines? Sure.

Multi-ton vehicles that can easily maim or kill innocent bystanders? Hell no, why would you beta test that in public?
Context matters in roadkill statistics. If a human driver risks causing more accidents on the highway when distracted and tired, a driving assistant risks causing more accidents in the city streets where there are more opportunities for failure.

Also, roadkill becomes a legal case. You need someone to be legally responsible. Driving assistants blur these lines.

It's not just a "killing fewer people per mile" problem (which would also have a huge causation/correlation issue).
The Pinebook and Pinebook Pro have 1080 screens and can have hardware video decoding support. I wrote 'can' because the drivers are still in staging for the mainline Linux kernel.
Why can't Poland or Ukraine have US Army or NATO bases in their sovereign territory, if that's their choice?

Just because dictatorships loath the idea that neighboring countries have superior standards of living due to their incompetence and corruption, doesn't mean everyone around them has to live in a lower standard of living because one guy wants to keep living in luxury no?

> You are fully welcome to go and look at these places as well; they are also global in the same sense that y combinator is.

Allow me to respectfully disagree: they are not. The dominance of US culture around the world, for the best and for the worst, is a fact of life for all of us who live outside it. If you look at the rates of translation of books from and to English, you will immediately see where the center and the periphery lie.
How much is the effect exacerbated by Portland being a kind of a magnet? In a large country like the US there is a lot of potential for immigration and making the situation very skewed.

And the Judge found in Epics favour on that point. Apple have a temporary reprieve, but there is an injunction ordering them to allow developers to advertise other means of payment.

Google is not alone in promoting such scams and being complicit of crime. The law doesn't apply to big companies though, so they can keep doing so and profiting off it.

> I would also add that if companies attempt to give technology specialists higher salaries they will often run into problems with their financial auditors claiming a lack of market conformity.

That used to be the case in the US too, a perhaps still is. In the early 80s I was hired while still a student at the equivalent of today’s FAANG rate for a mid career developer.

At some point I learned that my hire had to be approved by the board of directors because they had put in place strict rules about who qualified for what kind of salary.

There weren’t a lot of AI developers back in those days (this was before the 80s AI Winter), so that’s what it cost. And I had more than a year’s salary worth of hardware anyway, another thing that’s changed dramatically since then.

I wish I could say this for every job I’ve had, but: at least in this case they did get their money’s worth.
Yeah, I want to see them stop advertising on YouTube as a protest. I doubt it will happen. They only care about money and image, if image damages their money.
Me and 2% of the internet, happily.
Can't speak to the TSA system, but the self-checkout at the grocer is a piss-poor implementation...

Most shops have a scale on the bagging side, but it's far too small a platform for more than 2-3 bags worth of food. Most Americans shop for a week at a time. So, they can't reliably check-out themselves because the system complains if the scale reading doesn't match the expected weight of scanned items.

But, at the same time, grocery stores slashed manned check-out lines, forcing people to use the self-checks when they had unsuitably large carts. So you either wait in a long manual line, or you wait in a short (bot slow and error prone) automated line. Lose-lose for consumers.
Like any hobby, there is a YouTube culture around mechanical wristwatch maintenance/repair these days if you want to learn more. If I remember correctly, there’s a channel called Wristwatch Revival that is quite good.
Your eyes are close together, is there really a benefit in having two?
So the Shelters are half full? That is higher success rate than most VC startups and cost a lot less too
especially if you created a product that a large part of the world's population at the time of creation agreed was something new and defined a new category so much that a new category was created in general language to describe things like your product and other products came along later from competitors and defined themselves using that same category name - for example if someone came up with a phone that was smarter than other phones and coined the term smartphone for that then yeah, it would be like that.
Nice stuff, but I rather buy the tire from a tire manufacturer than pay 2x or 3x the price when buying from an auto manufacturer.
There is an extensive market around drug addiction, be it prisons, police budgets, drug companies, rehab clinics, and of course news media/politics.

You didn't really answer the question and just jumped to your own conclusion.
That would probably more likely get you a polite correction on that type of forum. Partly because it's kind of a niche argument but mostly because it only invalidates the beliefs of the women who want to be men, who are often sidelined by their own ideological movement in favor of the men who want to be women.

By contrast, if you wanted to express some other truths that pertain to the latter group, such as "'trans women' are not actually women, they are men who desire to be women" or "there are a significant number of 'trans women' who 'identify' as women because they are men with a sissy porn fetish", then all their fury will be unleashed upon you. Even if you back it up with evidence and solid argument.
Show HN: Author.Link – A LinkTree for Academics
Hi- I'm Sina, an academic scientist. During my PhD I was constantly frustrated with having to list out the affiliations of all of my coauthors during the journal submission process and so I built https://author.link/ to make that process easier.

The basic idea is that academics can create a simple page that lists out their affiliation (department, institution) in a standardized format, connect it to their ORCID, and associate a username to their affiliation. Then I can go and easily copy the affiliations of my coauthors when writing a paper or submitting it to a journal.

Practically speaking, https://author.link/ is a unique spin on the "link tree" concept that allows academics to create a page listing their affiliation, short bio, and links, akin to a streamlined personal website. It stands out from similar platforms like linktr.ee in a few key ways:

1. Authentication via ORCID: ensures credibility and streamlines the process for academics.

2. ORCID-based usernames: makes it easier to recall users and link them to their established academic identity.

3. Easy affiliation copying: simplifies the process of adding author information to academic papers and journal websites.

The site's design is pretty basic, but I think the tool encapsulates much of the functionality I've personally found helpful. For example, here's my own page: https://author.link/sina.

Your feedback, technical or otherwise, is invaluable. Please try it out and let me know your thoughts!

It's part of a VC's job to go where investments pay off. Israeli startup investments have had an excellent ROI in aggregate, so of course foreign VCs go there.

In contrast, the EU's regulatory environment is extremely difficult for startups. I have multiple entrepreneurial French and German friends who have told me their businesses (which they started while living in here in E. Asia) would have been impossible to do in their home countries without significant starting capital.

In fact, three of them incorporated in Singapore, despite living elsewhere. Forming a US business via Stripe Atlas or Firstbase is also common and relatively painless, especially if it's an LLC.
