Encryption should have been the default in the official framework/API to begin with. But I assume E2EE wasn't a concern for Apple/Google back then, and now it's to late to change everything without a lot of pain.

I've built Caloree an iOS/Mac app that allows you to track your daily calorie intake, go on a calorie deficit diet and track your weight which has worked wonders for me. It's freemium, but most features are available for free. It can be found at https://caloree.app.
This is fascinating. So does this mean that if I'm using internet via my mobile network, I can generate multiple IPs that I can use, and use them all simultaneously, or alternately?

Is there a concern of violating mobile network policies in doing so?

You think the policy failed because of that supposed clamor? That's an interesting idea: even when your policy is enacted, it's the fault of the policy that wasn't.

I tend to get blond to those small usability bugs, so it is very valuable.

Apple is US based company. So even if they break the local law, US has upper hand on enforcing Apple to provide information if they don't care about diplomatics.

I can't speak for them but my YouTube experience is in the toilet as of late. I've been a Premium subscriber for years now and they just keep making the apps worse. I can't even turn off shorts anymore. Despite paying for an "ad free experience," they serve me this shit:

* In-feed ads. These include ads for content prominence (preferential placement for creators), articles with link-out, ads for Google products and services like purchasing movies and shows in their store, and ads for Google product features.

* Modal ads in videos which they facilitate. That is, pop-up ads in content.

* Ads for merchandise under the content.

* Ads for paid subscription to channels.

* In-content ads in the form of creator sponsorships. These are becoming egregious.

At this point my experience is infinitely better with another front end which bundles SponsorBlock. Why am I paying for a FAR worse experience on their app? Their family subscription is not cheap where I live.
I have a reactive dog. She used to be a street dog so she doesn't take kindly to other dogs -- but get this -- only when on the street; in the park she's perfectly fine.

We have been doing months and months of training and she has improved a lot but occasionally regresses. If I could record the data I could potentially see some trends.

I've been recording each dog interaction in a spreadsheet but that quickly got cumbersome and required me to remember each interaction first and then remember to log it at a later point. This lead(s) to a lot of missed data.

So I'm putting together a simple app that will allow me to log the entry on my phone with a couple of taps and eventually generate charts, etc.

I was actively trading cryptocurrencies a few years ago. All the fun died at tax time. Thousands of transactions across several exchanges and currencies, manual calculation of capital gains was out of the question.

At the time, I recall finding one or two tools on GH, none of which seemed suitable. There was also a 3rd party service for calculating tax which integrated with exchanges, but it didn't sit well with me for privacy reasons.

Eventually I felt I had no choice but to build a tool to calculate capital gains from an input CSV of transactions. I wanted to keep it simple, so it puts the burden on the user to download transactions from exchanges and get them in the correct format, which it then processes.

I finally submitted some very late tax returns, and the tax office was kind enough to withdraw the late interest penalty after I explained the effort involved.

Show HN: An offline-first code snippet manager
Hi HN.

This is an offline-first web application powered by Svelte and Skeleton that I implemented in my free time to scratch my own itch. It is quite minimal for now, but I still hope that you can find it useful to you. Please let me know if you want to suggest any improvement. The source is available at: https://github.com/thanhnguyen2187/crypta. Feel free to open an issue/create a pull request.

Many thanks!

I am curious how it compares to the GitLab project boards.
I should have added the distinction: they are not end-user software companies, embedded is another world.
> Allegedly the letter combo TK very rarely occurs otherwise.

Interesting!
Buy a house and you now have 100 odd jobs a year to do. Start with that.
> Well, "nothing to do" is a bit of a stretch. There are active Hamas militants in the WB as well, and their actions on October 7th have polled at as having around 70% approval in the WB (which lest I be misunderstood, I mention to indicate a willingness to cooperate with Hamas by the populace, not as justification to attack them for their views).

An approval rating does not justify bulldozing buildings in the WB, nor detaining WB Palestinians for no reason (see https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/11/29/why-does-israel-have-so-....

and

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/28/arrests 133 from the WB). The detention law is discriminatory, and has been called out by rights groups.

> Great. Israel did that multiple times, and Palestinians have never agreed to any deal offered them. Hamas isn't really trying to negotiate here though - their stated goal is to kill all Jews and take back the entire land.

Aside from proof here, so what? Rejection happened multiple times in NI before the Good Friday Agreement was drafted, this does not mean it should not be attempted again.

> So, disarm itself completely and hope that Hamas doesn't do what it promised it would do over and over, and has already proved capable of doing?

I didn't say that. Disarming completely is a very black and white statement, truces and cooperation are forged from small steps eg. a reliable and adequate water supply.

> Gaza gets enormous amounts of financial aid, e.g. $600m in 2020 (just the first figure I found on Google). You know where that aid goes? Hamas steals it to finance its war against Israel.

Again, finance is no good if basic human rights are not met eg. water, electricity (and arguably internet).

> Israel isn't wholly responsible for these resources, Hamas is the government of Gaza and is responsible for it. Israel provides some water to Gaza and sells some electricity to Gaza.

Literally, the first sentence on the wikipedia page states that Israel has complete control over the water supply
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_and_sanitation_...

Electricity is probably the same, given that the supply to Gaza was completely cut off. To claim otherwise is disingenuous.
I created an app with share a file and watch it with someone https://github.com/LucCADORET/comeover .

We should either stop calling these recalls, or news sites should announce iOS and Android updates in a similar manner also

This is a strange allegation; While I have little personal experience with Steam's consumer service, the typical report I hear is that it is excellent and very helpful, while Google more or less doesn't have it at all. I've even successfully refunded some games that were a bit over the 2 hour window.

I love KOReader and also strongly prefer reading on my ereader (really an eInk Android tablet), but I've never found a great way to get the annotations and highlights out of KOReader and into my PKM, Logseq, where I could actually make good use of them. Logseq works with markdown files, so it doesn't have to be anything very sophisticated in terms of export format.

I recently reached out to the team behind Omnivore, which is a read-it-later app that does export well to Logseq, to see if they could add a pagination function to the app so I could use their app that way instead of scrolling, but being able to save websites in epub format, read them in KOReader, and export the notes would be a great alternative!

What are you using to access these notes over time?

Funny enough, during my 30 years (give or take) career I have seen many more game projects fail using Unity than projects using cobbled together inhouse engines. It's always the team that counts, not the technology (the technology just always gets blamed when the team fails to deliver, the actual reason is usually organizational).
Thanks, I did that now.
Have you ever been in a debate with someone, and then perhaps a few hours later thought "I should have said this or that instead"?

Well, that's the advantage AI will at some point have over us: such compute power that every angle of an argument can be investigated within seconds.
> Once the Digital Markets Act comes into effect in the EU in a couple of months I'll be installing alternative frontends for YouTube which include SponsorBlock.

this is weird. are we sure this is a thing in the EU? because the idea of having some sort of regulation forcing a private company to have their product offered by some other party raises so many issues. it's not like youtube is some sort of public good, it's a product offered by a private company.

who pays for the bandwidth, engineers, data centers? will the 3rd party pay for these things? if youtube is forced to break it's own TOS, and this leads to users moving away from YouTube but still somehow taking advantage of YouTube's offerings, why even provide the service at all, what exactly would be the point as the product would be loss making? and will capping access be back in the cards (we can't offer any more of these videos because it will cause losses)? and what about tracking viewers, how can we track these viewers when they're coming in from some 3rd party?

I feel like I'm misunderstanding something...
> Going back on Android is easy, and back can mean multiple things.

For me, this is one of the worst things about Android. There is zero consistency in what the 'back' button does. Even as a developer this is something I struggle with, what should the back button do in a specific case? Does it go back to the previous screen or does it go back one level in a drill-down navigation (which can sometimes, but not necessarily always, be the same thing).

Sometimes it's up one level in the navigation structure, sometimes it's go to the previous screen. Sometimes it's close a dialog. Sometimes it's even close the application. Depending on the context it could any of these, and it can be unclear which one if multiple could apply. The only way to find out is press the back button and see what happens.

I hate ambiguous user interface elements. When I click on something I'd like to know what action it will trigger.
Thank you! Little tricks like this help me stay focused. Technical writing involves enough context switching already -- referring to docs, past articles, research papers, etc. To the extent I can minimize unnecessary context shifting, I do.

If the OP had said private projects, I would agree but he mentioned private tasks. So I imagined him using the tool for daily chores and such. but I think your statement make more sense.
Not copying existing ideas is the strangest thing to me. What is the point of spending months trying to come up with an original design, instead of just taking a proven design and improving on it / customizing it to your companies virtues?

In the fintech space I've seen so many startups hire designers to come up with original new designs and user experiences, only to arrive at the exact same design as existing fintech apps.

What is the point of refusing to stand on the shoulders of giants? Pride?
> For example any discussion about copyrighted works, which is a hot topic, will inevitably end up with someone equating an LLM "learning" to a human learning, as if the two are identical.

The argument is not that they are identical. LLMs and diffusion models learning is a new thing. We are all trying to come to terms what that means, and how we should regulate it. (And if at all we should regulate it) Do note, we are talking about here what the law should be, not what the law is.

And in doing so we compare this new thing to already existing things. "It is a bit similar to this in this regard" or "it is unlike that thing in this other regard".

I don't think it is controversial to say that if an LLM outputs byte-to-byte the text of a copyrighted work the work remains under copyright. The person who run the LLM does not magically gain rights by that. If you coax your model to output the text of the Harry Potter books you don't suddenly become able to publish it.

The question is what happens if the new work contains elements from copyrighted works. For example if it borrows the "magical school" setting from HP but mixes it with Nordic mythology and makes it as deadly as Game of Thrones. What then? Can they publish this new thing? Do they need to pay fees to J K Rowling, and George R. R. Martin?

It is generally permissible to publish that new work if it was created by a human. If it is sufficiently different from the other works you are free to write and publish it. Does this suddenly change just because the text was output by an LLM?

The argument is not that "human learning" and "machine learning" is the same. It is that they are similar enough that one has to argue why you think one can create new work and why the other can't.

Over the years I had used a number of reddit clients for Android, all of which had some features I loved and some which annoyed me, so last year I started building my own.

I released an alpha build early this year (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ai.morrissey.m...) but abandoned it because I stopped using reddit altogether, and didn't love the idea of potentially having to pay reddit for an app I was giving away for free.

Was certainly fun building it though, no regrets.

> Automakers see subscriptions as huge new source of income to be tapped, with GM alone hoping to make as much as $25 billion per year just off subscriptions by 2030.

and the following quote is from a different part of the article:

> though Babbitt admits that GM hasn’t exactly tested this in a controlled setting to see whether or not it’s true.

specifically:

> Essentially, the thinking is that if a car’s in-built infotainment system is good enough, drivers will be less likely to use their phone for what they’re trying to do while they’re behind the wheel, — though Babbitt admits that GM hasn’t exactly tested this in a controlled setting to see whether or not it’s true.

Ha, what a coincidence! I use Logseq as well. And ... yeah. I don't really do anything with the KOReader highlights, which I know wastes a lot of potential.

I don't really feel like Logseq would be the right place to put annotations - the surrounding text is hugely important in my case.

For annotating web pages I also use hypothes.is, which also has its issues with reviewing past highlights (but does seem to have a data format conducive to importing from different sources).

It would be great to be able to pull all this stuff into an application specifically made for research - perhaps Zotero.

But I haven't really found any workflow that vibes with me.
