Damn, this is a huge shame. What were this sticking points for investors if you don't mind me asking? What is the value proposition? I mean, I am really interested in potentially using this in the AEC industry as an open source product. But where would the revenue come from?
Or they could remove the feature (I don't find the pulse ox particularly useful on my Garmin watch... When I go to high altitude I bring my cheapo pulse ox from Walgreens that is supposedly much more as accurate). Or find some other way to implement it (Garmin, at least, has implemented it differently).
The searchable content may be constrained, but the queries aren’t ;)

Search is hard because you need to anticipate and model the language of all potential searchers and the content.

There’s also lots of ambiguity because you’ll only get one or two keywords from the searcher without any other context, and you need to take into account trends and content quality and metadata.

Also, in lots of cases search is bad because the product team either doesn’t know or doesn’t care.
That video and the cooling system is insane. Insanely cool even. Thanks for posting.

I wonder, how do all the contacts in the 20,000A power distribution plate that is bolted on top of the wafer-scale die line up? The engineering involved in just making that part work must be crazy.

Sounds great, but I don't think Israel suffered a net PR loss in the last few months.

It all depends on your priors. If you think of Israel as a country, you could totally get behind a tit-for-tat, heavy-handed retaliation and forgive them for pretending it's "self defence".

If you think of it as a 50+ year-old ongoing invasion/genocide, then you'd feel differently.

The eternal struggle between open source and proprietary software
You just read the first error message, and find where it says "at line #N" to see where the problem is. You can ignore everything after, however many pages you get, which is usually just a list of the functions you might have been trying to call, and can be long if there were lots of possibilities.

Linux Torvalds has not looked at C++ since the '90s. C++ is a wholly different language now. The experience coding in it now much more fun, and it is easy now to write code that works the first time it is run (as is also seen with Rust).
I'm sure there's a billion reasons for frontend frameworks not really worth debating here, but I was curious about this:

> It could be that many people struggle with the DOM, but anyways it’s all APIs and event handling.

Without a framework, how do you usually like to handle cross-component/cross-screen state in the frontend? Like where do you keep track of logged-in state, dark mode, the shopping cart, etc? Do you just like to put that in the backend, or is there a neat way to organize such data in vanilla JS in the frontend?
> At some point a human reviewer will need to detect the app is allowing the user to pay with PayPal and therefore block it from distribution.

But on Android I can just release the .apk or publish to Fdroid app store, etc. I don't think Google would be reviewing the app at all.
As I understand it, 48V makes sense for the long cable runs of PoE and server racks, as well as the varying voltage needs of cars. But a PC doesn't have such runs, and 12V is already higher than any PC component's voltage. It seems like a good tradeoff.
After I wrote my comment I knew someone would write this. Yes, that’s what it is. Go ask the average smart house enthusiast what it is though.
Oracle laid off basically every Solaris developer in 2017. They are by all observation simply not interersted in the product anymore. its probably the most mournful thing ive seen in tech in a very long time.

OpenZFS is a mighty filesystem hobbled by an absolutely detestable license (the CDDL.) Its greatest single contribution was in all likelyhood to BSD, although it didnt seem to make the OS more popular as a whole.

the latest and greatest from the OpenZFS crowd seems to be bullying Torvalds semi-annually into considering OpenZFS in Linux...which will never happen thanks to CDDL and so the forums devolve into armchair legal discussions of the true implications of CDDL. You'll see a stable BTRFS and a continued effort to polish XFS/LVM/MDRAID before openZFS ever makes a dent.

One could argue OpenZFS is a radioactive byproduct of one of the most lethal forces in open source in the past 20 some years: Oracle. They gobbled up openoffice and MySQL, and went clawing after RedHat just shortly after mindlessly sending Sun to the gallows. Theyre an unmitigated carbunkle on some of the largest corporations in the entire world, surviving solely on perpetual licensing and real-world threat of litigation. That they have a physical product at all in 2023 is a pretty amazing testament to the shambling money-corpse empire of Ellison.

Ultimately the FOSS community under Torvalds is on the right track. Just because Shuttleworth thinks he cant be sued by Oracle for including ZFS in Ubuntu with some hastily reasoned shim doesnt mean Oracle wont nonchalantly send his entire company to the graveyard just for trying. Oracle is a balrog. stay as far away as you can.

Wow that’s a heck of a flimsy excuse, whenever this topic comes up
> Doesn't that have more to do with Michael Milken pioneering junk bonds

Capital was uniquely available in the 1980s. But Milken was a symptom, not the cause. The booming American economy provided the fuel, but digitisation turbocharged the engine: issuing, pricing and trading securities, in particular bonds, became easier very quickly. (This is why your stereotypical trader from the 80s has an accent and is uncouth. They replaced blue-blooded bankers who had run bonds, calculating prices and yields by hand using tables.)

Put another way, America is “unusually good at creating tradeable claims on the profits and revenues that its economy generates” [2]. Computers amplified that strength and prompted massive opportunities in reshaping the economy.

> with the exception of the recent hiccup, the long term trend in interest rates has been downward

Yes, this is a function of increasing stability and time horizons [1]. That said, the relevant frame is a fund lifespan, usually 5 to 10 years. (Unless you’re Warren Buffett.) In those intervals, the long-term signal is dwarfed by short-term noise.

When PE takes over and cuts resources or otherwise "optimizes" leading to bad outcomes, the medical staff are on the hook for those bad outcomes but the PE firm that caused the cuts that caused the bad things are not. Make sense?
This is essentially the same argument as "one can write secure software in C++". If it's not enforced by the language and tooling, one can't safely assume anything.
> Tags on the side can occur in freetext, which makes it easy to have false-tags found. Putting some automatism on this is a bit risky I guess

I agree, especially if you copy paste tweets containing hashtags into your files you could end up with accident collisions.

On the other hand, I refactor my tags a lot so I really needed the feature. I ended up using a simple VSCode language server to piggyback on "rename symbols". It's not ideal but it reduced a lot of friction.

It's not vanity to complain that a faceted search tool is surfacing completely useless facets populated by obviously-wrong data and actively lying to the user about the number of results in each facet. Or returning completely unrelated products like an umbrella in a search for laundry detergent in the top 3 results.

Users should expect better. People with your attitude are not helping.

In datacenters, you're mostly limited by the power (and thus cooling). Most commercial DCs only let you use up to about 10kW per rack. For standard 40U racks it's just 250W/RU, give or take.

There are niche expensive datacenters with higher power density, but as it stands, exotic multi-kW hardware at scale makes sense if you either save a ton on per-node licensing, or you need extreme bandwidth and/or low latency.

Minor nit: I've posted about this before, but I wish folks would not refer to dang as a "moderator" or say stuff about "the HN moderators". If anything, I think it's more appropriate to refer to dang as the site admin.

The reason this is a pet peeve of mine is I often see people complaining about "the HN moderators" (e.g. "the HN mods are on a power trip and keep flagging my submissions!" or some such), where they are clearly taking this conceptual model from Reddit, and they seem to think there is a shadowy cabal of "mods" who control what gets downvoted/flagged (and, in fairness, this does and can happen in subreddits). In other words, when you see your submissions being flagged or comments being downvoted or flagged, 99.9% of the time it's not "the HN mods" who are downvoting you. It's just other, normal HN users (who have earned 501+ karma as TFA explains) who simply don't like what you have to say.

Not saying dang never blocks users/comments, but it's exceedingly rare and I've only seen it for the most obnoxiously egregious behavior after (usually multiple) warnings.
I think it's saying languages that make polymorphism an inescapable, top-level concern (everything's an Object, Class, Interface, etc), and/or force all polymorphism be done through a limited choice of polymorphism tools it provides, is incidental complexity. Polymorphism a la carte lets you pick your poison from a full platter, or ignore it all together.
I’m against industrial farming because of the horrific conditions.

Also stuff drinking the milk of another animal, something that’s reserved for its child, is kind of horrible. All those cows are lined up and pumped and then what? Probably killed. At least to me it is fuckin brutal.

The only thing you can legitimately call me out on is that I don’t go to the doctor or engage much in modern medicine. Seeing monkeys with their brains exposed or puppies and cats suffering “for science” is also wack to me. When it’s my time I’ll go. Hopefully not too much pain.
In my opinion, there has also been an eternal summer effect following the reddit protests, which manifests as 1) more anti-curious doomerism and joke comments

> You can’t even build a hospital ... without government permission.

You are talking about Certificates of Need which are investigations to show that an area needs a new facility...

The concept of a CoN was lobbied for by hospitals and healthcare providers who wanted "guarantees" of profits before they'd commit to building new facilities. The CoN process helps existing facilities get a say in whether a new hospital should be allowed in the area. The government itself generally doesn't care.
This switch is only useful when it can be hacked. It’s SO much better when you can run whatever you want to run like emulators and other tooling. Or even crazy things, like backing up your saves!
They did do some limited patches for 3D All-Stars to offer 16:9 resolution and patched the games to show Switch controls, but yeah... it all felt a bit lacking.
You can get the best of piece tables and ropes using a B-tree-based rope- at small sizes, you get a single node that works like a sorted piece table, but you can also scale up to larger documents without the high constant factors of a binary tree.

Both are right... it depends on so many factors. I've (subjectively?) found older eggs to create more shell fragments when cracked this way.

The only hard truth is that the egg will break in whichever random way it wants to.
How did the other manufacturers get away with this? Did they actually license the patent, or are they the next victims to get shut down...?
Sadly agree. I used to know something that was called C++ (or at least parts of it) and even used to get paid to program in it. But now that C++ has become this kind of constantly morphing target (see the discussion here about what the most modern way to display text to stdout is) it's just tough to get my arms around it anymore. It seems like there was a noble attempt to modernize C++ and certainly there are some welcome parts of that, but it's gotten so far out of hand now. At some point you just have to admit defeat and start over from scratch with something that has a more unified vision. I'm looking at Zig and Carbon for lowlevel stuff and Julia for mathy stuff now.
Mine isn’t on the list either - #9db2cbd
I prefer the cheaper infrastructure that gets the job done. Nuclear is notoriously expensive.
Businesses seem to prefer incremental changes over large ones. Look at IPv4 vs IPv4. The two are completely incompatible and decades later we still haven’t changed.

12v is a good compromise because PSUs can be manufactured to support both the new and old standard and motherboards could even accept ATX power inputs and just ignore the 5v and 3v rails.

It allows for a transition period that’s much smoother than a complete revamp. It’s the more pragmatic solution.
You are correct and OP is burying the actual crime. OP is correct, however, that this is Apple's SOP as well. They don't amass tens of thousands of patents for the joy.
I was disappointed they did not make the jump to 19V, which is standard in laptops. A far less drastic change which is already handled by component manufacturers.
Thanks for explaining this! I was wondering why "clip on" vs "wrist worn" would matter, and your comment cleared it up.
Not a Tesla, this is for sure. As long as there are any cars with physical controls and replaceable lightbulbs on the market, those are the ones I'll be driving. Fortunately, this is still very much the case, especially if a car for you is a means of transportation, not the expression of your ego.
First let me say I'm sorry for your wife and I hope she recovers. Respectfully that hospital may not be an apt comparison because it was taken over because it was already failing under private ownership whereas PE is more apt to buy something because it is functional and therefore profitable.

It seems likely that both causes are an example of failure of private ownership wherein the county is being blamed only because it was left holding the bag.
You're totally right, it is a fun project. The problem is that if I'm writing Justfiles and transpiling them to shell... now I have 3 problems. Just, Python and shell.

I can’t help but think that someday we will see chips designed like Sierpinski gaskets, with “holes” used for thermal transport and the solid parts used for computation. Such chips would behave more or less like a toroidal structure.

Speculation/intuition, but I figure it happens in ways specifically designed to evade the type of detection you're basing your claim on, akin to shadow banning, whereas on Reddit there's often more visible evidence like corpses of deleted comments.
Hum... You can look abou 3 comments upthread.

That's a widely popular fact. And yet there doesn't seem to be any correlation between growth and any positive amount of inflation. (There is a lot of correlation for negative inflation.)

Even the idea that "inflation" is something simple to define and measure is wrong.
An innovation in Wolvehamton would not be experienced in even Marathon and vice versa. Sometimes trade did import improvements, but it was not usually experienced by the majority of people. Things were expensive for 95% of the pop. In most instances change would have been slow. Occasionally you had major changes like a crossbow, or paper making. I think those changes were not the norm. Now, across the world, if you followed spots, you could retrospectively see changes, sure. But for a single person, no, not so much.

But those are pronounced differently. Of course, English has its fair share; Their / They're / There, beach / beech, etc etc.

But I don't think English particularly stands out, and I can think of languages that are much worse than it in that regard (especially for an outsider). Mandarin / Cantonese / Japanese / French / Korean are all pretty notorious examples for homophone collisions.
I think whether or not it matters is contextual. If I am trying to get work done, or trying to buy something on your site I very much care if search works. UX is a feature.

Netflix search is possibly the most egregiously bad search in the entire industry, and unfortunately it's infecting other players with very stupid ideas. Netflix search is unfaceted, unsortable, unfilterable and worst of all it very often knows what you're searching for and instead of returning "we don't have this title" it will return a bunch of different, loosely related titles.
Honestly an array isn’t really the worst… for smallish files on modern processors. Sequential memcpy is pretty dang fast and pointer indirection can be slow.

In seriousness; If you are an engineering manager, ops manager etc - GPT Weekly Status reports would be great.

Heck, ANY position with a weekly status requirement would be great.

Heck - I really need to apply it to Construction Project Management, and status reports like that. A contractors GPT would be epic - there are so many skilled trades that dont have a tech-savvy staff, and if you could empower Electricians and General Contractors with a GPT specific to each construction project.

dang, or someone at HN, can and does silently modify the "weight" of a submission. That is why some articles stay on the front page longer, and some slip off the front page in a couple of hours.

This is far more control than reddit mods have. Reddit mods have one ability, an that is the ability to remove or not remove a submission, which is a very public action. HN can put its finger on the scales in a way that is much more subtle.
Drop the extra `d` and it's on there.
REST is such a poorly understood term.

gRPC services are by design client-server likely built in a stateless way. It uses HTTP and exploit the same tools that REST would use for layering such as proxies, etc.

Not sure which parts make it more complex.

gRPC is still over HTTP right?

Most of the other arguments are weak too. I'm not convinced gRPC is any better understood.
golden week seems to refer to three holidays, chinese new year, may 1st and national day in october.

Just checked and you are exactly right (it's not in the raw source but the element is found in the DOM tree). This explains the delay also!
This comment right here is modern C++ in a nutshell. The most "modern" way will likely be different next year.
Exactly, that's my whole point. Once renewables become a large majority of overall power production, it will be essential that we have adequate storage to account for the variability of renewables. Thus, the original idea that started this comment thread that once we get tons of renewables that energy will be free or negative (e.g. "road transport becomes nearly free") doesn't make any sense. Wholesale prices only go negative for a relatively small percentage of the time currently due to lack of storage and government subsidies.
