I’m impressed this guy has time to write.

My wife and I raised four children. My wife was blessed to be able to be a “stay at home” mom during the early period. It was a lot of work. I often joke that after the first two weeks of our oldest, I had no recollection of what the first two years of marriage had been like. The child rearing experience is just so all consuming.

Four years ago, that oldest child got pregnant. And then discovered it was twins. We made plans to be there and help like is often the case. Holy crap. Two infants is so much more work than one. It doesn’t double the work load. It compounds geometrically. I think my wife spent the first three months there.

So, yeah, I’m impressed this guy has time to write. Next time you meet someone with twins, give them some cred for making it through the first few months. It is an astronomical effort.
Car companies most certainly have a history of killing public transit. They convinced cities to rip up street car networks so they could sell buses and tires, cheapening the experience and ultimately resulting in more private cars.
Remember when ICOs had white-papers about their magical game-theoretic rube-goldberg-machines and the incredible future they would unlock?
It will likely be an AMD APU as well, and I'll probably install Fedora or Kubuntu on it. I have no interest in discrete GPUs on laptops anymore, I do appreciate the gaming options it provides but I don't appreciate the heat and poor battery life. I also play a lot of older games that run great on any recent APU, some of which were just too demanding for the intel GPU on that Dell and really needed the Nvidia GPU to run well.
Any modern OLED (last 5 years) will do you very well.

Newer ones have some additional bells and whistles, but there isn't anything on the near horizon worth waiting for.
Hank Green shares his TikTok earnings, RPM's everywhere, and Creator-Product Fit
> Musk told me that the idea originated out of his hatred for California’s proposed high-speed rail system. … He insisted the Hyperloop would cost about $6 billion to $10 billion, go faster than a plane, and let people drive their cars onto a pod and drive out into a new city. At the time, it seemed that Musk had dished out the Hyperloop proposal just to make the public and legislators rethink the high-speed train. He didn’t actually intend to build the thing. … With any luck, the high-speed rail would be canceled. Musk said as much to me during a series of e-mails and phone calls leading up to the announcement.

Did you read the linked article?
The fastest Falcon 9 turnaround time was still 54 days, the same as the fastest Space Shuttle refurbishment. Gwyne Shotwell herself said that it needs to come down to a few hours.
No, I said precisely the opposite.

People can be willing to pay, but corporations are unable to coordinate amongst themselves to receive the payment or make it frictionless enough. This is not an uncommon situation in economics. It's not a fictional concept.

E.g. you can look at Spotify as a success story of coordination. That wasn't inevitable though. If record labels had chosen to launch fragmented independent music streaming services, that wouldn't have changed people's willingness to pay for all music for $10–12/mo., even if it weren't available.

> 9. technological autonomy - reliance on automation can backfire if systems become misaligned to human needs

Our economical system is already by and large autonomous and misaligned to our needs, there are humans in the loop but they view the world through symbols. I'm not sure a radically more autonomous technological agent would make any difference...
This looks great. I currently use Sublime Text for this. Can easily see using this. Thank you for building it.
Those same companies caused rents to go from 500$ in 2014 to over 1k in 2018 for the same unit.
Yeah, I've entertained the thought of adding a web version of Heynote to heynote.com (using local storage for persistence).
I'm really surprised by the many comments feigning surprise at the view that Apple's actions in this case are anti-competitive.

Previously, Google was found liable of anti-competitive practices for only showing Google Shopping results in the carousel at the top of the search results page. The argument was that Google was abusing its dominant market position in search engines to gain a market advantage in comparison shopping services. As a result, Google was ordered to allow third-party comparison shopping services to integrate.

How is this different? The problem with iMessage is that it has that premium, native, and out-of-the-box OS integration including the SMS fallback. No other messaging app can compete with that.

Every other app needs to be a separate app that must be downloaded from the App Store. No other app can have the SMS fallback because iOS prohibits third-party SMS apps.

They are abusing their dominant market position in smartphones to gain a market advantage in messaging services. They have previously stated that they profit financially from a strong market position of iMessage, because that in turn boosts iPhone sales.

If Apple doesn't want to integrate third-party message services into iMessage and/or Messages, they are free to compete on even ground. They'd have to extract iMessage from the Messages app, change it to a non-preinstalled app that must be downloaded from the App Store, and remove the SMS fallback.
This reminds me a lot of org-mode(https://orgmode.org/). Do you have plans to add other org-like features, like evaluating code blocks? I don't personally see myself moving away from org-mode, but it would be nice to have something to recommend to people who are reluctant to use emacs, even if it's only for a single application.
That’s true, but there is no continuity with the old use of the name. Jennifer was presented to the UK and US as a strange name by George Bernard Shaw and gained popularity just because the play was popular on radio and the name sounds nice. Later use in TV made it a top name.

I would bet that there are more girls named Guinevere than girls named Jennifer for philologist reasons. :)
Amazing article! In case the author sees this, it'd be great if the author can deep dive into how he "found the right place" in finding the correct breakpoint to produce the decrypted message. It seems to me that if you're able to do this there's a lot of interesting things one could do.

You might consider Flutter for desktop apps next time, as they are compiled to machine code and won't be nearly as heavy as Electron, plus you get automatic mobile and web support.
I see. Thanks for the input.
Yup. Like with anything, maintenance is more important than construction. But this discussion is explicitly about the build, not the maintenance.

It is really interesting to see people rewrite what we're talking about.

I don't know why you're being downvoted, our current norms are without question far far better but they are the outlier for human history. Massive technological advancement came with massive social advancements in a really short timespan all things considered.

I'm glad that making lots of babies is no longer something that's necessary for the survival of society and the norms that pressure (force) everyone healthy enough to have children to do so have fallen by the wayside as a result.
> hitler did have a lot of support fron the US

Straw man. Also, in the 1940s. We condemn them for it. Very different from saying we should have let them be today, with the benefit of hindsight.

> believe it far more likely that you would come to their defense than I

Says the person who already has.
No, that would require second preimage.

I'm not disputing that he has faults, it's just amazing how his real accomplishments get magnified or erased by dumb tweets in 2023, 10-15 years later. How many people fall for this stuff?
I’m confused, are you complaining about ISP CGNAT or NAT in general? Did your ISP assign you a public IPv4 or not? If the former then you are lucky, that is a relative luxury.

> Even after learning about how NAT works, I had no way to work around it, as my ISP blocked the router's web interface and I was unable to do port forwarding.

Well this is Hacker News, you replace the router with your own.

I have yet to encounter a residential wireline ISP in the US or Europe where using your own router is not a possibility. Even those that implemented 802.1x or similar I have been able to either deal with directly or work around. Not saying there don’t exist counterexamples but I would assume using an alternative router +/- MITM the old one would have been viable.

Of course if the ISP was firewalling (likely) then you have a different problem.

This isn’t really a NAT issue. More of a specific ISP policy issue. (NAT and ipv4 have nothing to do with it, they can just as easily port block inbound 80/443 on ipv6.)

The argument boils down to: My ISP locked down the admin page on my rented router ergo NAT is evil. It’s not terribly sensible.

And from the linked thread's source:

Classic clickbait.

This is what I imagined my first dad post would have looked like if I had any writing talent ( or had any sleep in those times ). Chuckled most of the way.

So both the iGPU and Discrete GPUs lacked power management all together, that would explain a lot about how miserable this has been.

New brain-like transistor mimics human intelligence
Yeah, if the users don't care enough to move to ad-free sort of content, there's not much you can do as a passive viewer. Fortunately, Wikis are in theory easy to migrate should such a motivated user comes along.

That said, these days more and more guides and tribal knowledge is stored in discord servers. I don't know if that's better or worse. At least there's no ads.
It's not even correct, much less principled.
We rely on uncountably more unreliable people, machines, systems, concepts, etc.

Do you really find no value from LLMs? Consider that real people genuinely do. Consider that the people who do extract value from LLMs may beat you to promotions, business ideas, insights, test-passing-code.
Yep, your "as silly as that sounds" was a "it sounds silly, but...".

Honestly, I missed that and my comment came out sounding like a gotcha when it should have just emphasized what you were saying. Sorry!
Inflate Twitter like count by repeatedly clicking the like button
Yes, that might be adequate, thank you. I can't quite put my finger on what I like about the menubar app, but I do click it 30 times a day. Maybe just habit now.

The hotkey is very responsive. Nice!
It's a private platform. I absolutely despise Substack as a service and alternative source of media, but I couldn't care less about their stance on Nazism. Same goes for Twitter, honestly. Their interpretation of "Free Speech" is going to always coincide with "what makes us the most money", and eventually people will wise up and abandon those platforms.

Ironically, if you wanted to cast off the yoke of Substack and Twitter to join the Fediverse, you'd also probably inadvertently end up in a Nazi's feed. It's turtles all the way down, no matter who owns the platform.

I remember joining an IRC FTP share channel when I was a kid, and wanting to share some of my files to get ratio to download some music and anime they had, and it was my first time attempting to setup an FTP and I thought i was all good to go and dropped my info in the channel and about 3 seconds later a bunch of people were lol'ing at my internal IP.

They were cool though and everybody was helpful, learned a lot that night. IRC was so awesome in the 90s.
The biggest problem Musk has is that he is a nerdy engineer who thought it would be a good idea to interface directly with a general public. I think his biggest failing was not hiring a top-shelf PR team to handle his communications.

There is a good reason companies keep engineers in the back room away from customers. They are masters of machines, not people.
>Seems far-fetched that Musk would try to derail one single railway construction project to benefit his cars and industry- the impact of that project on his economic interests seems too small and indirect.

You can install several apps to use as passkeys, or use NFC keys, or Bluetooth keys, or WearAuthn on your Android smartwatch.

If an app or website implements device attestation through passskeys, that's device attestation in the same way your house key is device attestation: you need the device to unlock the door.
Vacuum super-high-speed trains make sense over long distances, but building something like that is beyond current levels of technology. Maybe in a century or later, it could be a better alternative to flying between continents or big cities.
That is the problem, sure, each individual can 'see' the problem, but as groups, as a species, we are captured by our circumstances, and continue to overconsume, pollute, etc...

It becomes "Moloch" again, everyone has budgets, deadlines, need to eat, need to sex.

As a group we don't seem able to change course.

We are "on a world ruled by 195 mutually-hostile and frequently-shifting coalitions of over-evolved murder-monkeys, many of whom have nuclear weapons. "

Hence, evolutionary dead end.
>Not when android manufacturers/google refuse to give me the type of control that open posix systems provide.

Can you provide an example of how Android does not give you the control that you seek, how it is useless, or how is it hostile? From my point of view Android is much more suited for being an OS targeting consumer usage than a POSIX clone. POSIX comes from a world with much different requirements that do not work in the modern world.
> Both the Clara and Swan were supposedly refusing to answer hails

Right, which is a touch broader than “targeting Israeli ships.”

This is neat, but I'm not sure how it "warns" us of anything. Were the octopus harmed by the interbreeding in some way? Also, how does the existence of a past event predict the future? I get climate models, but this genetic evidence would also exist if the planet were getting colder.
> Devs have no business doing it.

Agree but, I have to say that, as a DevOps, it was infuriating to me to have to deal with developers without any care for the quality of what they were delivering. Sometimes for pressure from someone higher in the chain, other times, for pure laziness and/or incompetence. I remember coming in the morning after a hell of a night on the on-call, reporting the issues to the Devs in charge and being answered something along the lines of "fixing that is not the priority right now" and my replying on anger with "If it was your damn phone the one ringing during the whole night I'm pretty sure you would make it a priority".
Yes, I've learned that Heynote is lacking some documentation. Will improve that.

Math.js (https://mathjs.org/) powers the Math blocks, so what's supported by Math.js should be supported by Heynote, with the addition of currency conversions (exchange rates are updated daily).

Schrödinger equation emerges mathematically from classical mechanics (2012)
The economics of Falcon 9 do suggest that it currently is a lot worse than space shuttle on cost per unit of mass to orbit, and that the promise of cheaper launches due to reusability has not happened. Sure, the rockets are somewhat reusable (with a lot of reconditioning, it seems), but that definitely hasn't translated to lower costs to orbit.

Not if you want decent sound quality. I think my absolute minimum recommendation would be the Fiio K3 dac-amp with a pair of headphones like the DT770 or the SHP9500 if you can find them cheap.

Ollama iOS app Enchanted now supports audio recordings and image prompts
Electric cars have been around for over a century. The space shuttle re-used the solid rocket boosters and its own engines. I don't know anyone could possibly consider those "impossible". Not to diminish to achievements of Tesla and Space X, but they were not entirely novel systems invented out of whole cloth.
Hi guys, I just implemented audio recording and image prompts (for models that support it like llava). Project is open source and available on App Store.

An aspect of the X protocol which I never saw anyone take advantage of: the client, not the server, got to pick wire ID #'s. In principle, a simple gui program could've preassigned and hardcoded all its identifiers, letting the server worry about the mapping problem. In practice, it seems like everyone used toolkits such that the X ID was arbitrary, the memory location of the widget was arbitrary, and there needed to be mapping layers between both of those as well as between the widget-in-memory and the widget-description-in-resource-file...
This is pretty cool. I particularly like the Math block.

One issue I noticed while doing a calculation: "belt_pitch = 5/8 in" evaluates to "0.625 in^-1". To get the behavior I expected, I had to add parenthesis around the fraction. Maybe this could be fixed by adjusting precedence rules?

"life support", you would still need pressurized pods. Most goods cannot survive being in a vacuum, heck guaranteed to cause fires in some cases when you cause lithium cell pouches to burst.
I'm so excited about this because I first got interested in programming via the same book that was for some reason on a shelf in my primary school's computer room!!! They did show us basic computer literacy stuff which was already ahead of its time but no programming or anything like that.

I remember not really understanding at the time and then years later coming across Visual Basic and the name ringing a bell, and then I was off to the races! So much fun.

I had the advantage of being 18 when the internet was still pretty open and I had all the access I needed through my university. I even remember finding a list of root passwords to various machines at Standford lying in one of the computer labs. No idea how it got there. But I tested one with a quick rlogin and it worked fine. Oops. I emailed them to let them know and got basically a <shrug> in reply. Those days certainly were easier for a kid who was learning networking, but they couldn't last with more and more people getting connected and making it more tempting for bad actors to fool around.
Yes, but it deserves to be taken more seriously when you are the SVP of the largest software company in the world.

The C-level of a random software company talking about US-wide market lock-in is unlikely to make it work in practice. Apple has a very real chance of doing it.
When did China invade Nepal? I'm aware that they have close relationships politically with many countries but that's very different than invading them, overthrowing their leaders or arming groups that will destabilise them.

I'm not sure I agree with your last point. It feels like you're assuming that the American solution is necessary or the only way. As I said above, other actors may see it differently.
Please be aware that Microsoft bundles news from MSN with Windows, and will show trash articles like the one submitted here to a very large part of the population.

It's completely distracting and frankly dystopian.
