Testing on my iPhone 15 pro - I couldn't find it in the app store with a search but I looked up the developer and was able to download it there. Working so far, first image took a while (a few minutes, as the app warned me), but subsequent images were a bit faster (~1.5 minutes). Phone does get pretty warm though.
> She established that her supervisor's feedback for her was that she had done "a great job". If that was not the case, the people letting her go would have asserted that this claim is false.

FWIW, the HR people did assert this claim was false but said they weren't able to go into specifics. That's the central issue that makes this somewhat murky. If companies prioritized employee wellbeing, then they'd release this information, but they prioritize not getting sued or opening themselves up to criticism.

Honestly, I think the manager deserves more criticism here. There's a world where both sides are telling the truth. It's pretty common for managers to give positive feedback to underperforming employees (as part of empathetic communication). Also, managers do have a say in layoffs. The excuse is always that managers didn't know until right before the layoffs, but they still have input at that stage. They're not laying people off or firing them behind the manager's back.

Edit: I'd also point out that she says she's been receiving positive feedback despite not meeting standards. Her reasons for such are that one deal died through no fault of her own and that the holidays are tough for deal-making. She is making the argument that the standards say one thing while the expectations (feedback) say another. Aligning standards and expectations would fall under the manager's duties. Because, again, HR drones aren't going to be knowledgeable about the ins and outs of sales.

We must maintain our life support machines.

I think it's pretty clear if we cared much about anything we'd be doing a lot of things. But instead, we have this: We have a conversation like this one, I had it with my sister. We agree on this statement you've made in that conversation. Sister goes and buys a new gigantic SUV that gets 20 mpg. Understands we were just talking about how bad that is, but make a thousand excuses as to why she using the bad thing is an exception to the rule.

We're a few billion exceptions to the rules walking around, very few people want to give up their fun. I've had this conversation with gun owners, oversized truck owners, people interested in public transit it always comes down to something they want everybody else to have to do but not them.

We're not going to give up our toys til we're dead.

That sounds more expensive than paying a tradesman, except you're on the hook for buying or renting all the tools, and when something needs four or more hands, can you email support and have them upload an assistant AGI to carry around the heavy materials?
While sitting with my iPad typing the other morning, something about the experience struck me in a way that it never had before.

I've been typing since the early 90s, and can type around 120WPM without looking or thinking about it, and it hit me that in a very real sense, the iPad (and other computing devices) are already an extension of me. I've invested the time to integrate this hardware into my brain via the keyboard interface, and once typing is automatic, the friction between brain and machine is very low. I can transmit information from brain to computer and back relatively quickly.

The thing about immersive tech is that we're already immersed in tech. The next generation of VR/AR promises to immerse us even more, but I think it's interesting to consider the idea that we're already immersed and don't always realize it.

When you start to look at the space around you as an extension of you (and I think there are good reasons to look at it this way - your immediate surroundings are in effect a projection/construct formulated by your brain, and the actions you take within that space modulate your average conscious experience), and when you start to look at the computing devices around you as part of that extension of you, it starts to raise really interesting questions like:

If I could implant a chip in my brain, and if people could control my brain with that chip, I would probably never allow it. But when that chip is outside of my brain in a device I keep in my pocket, why am I more willing to allow other entities to feed me stimuli?

I tend to agree with the broader idea that we need to be less immersed in tech, if for no other reason to reduce this kind of external control mechanism we've all hooked ourselves in to. And I don't think immersion is limited to the obvious developments like that next generation VR/AR headset. Immersion is already extremely high.
You are correct, it is science.

The differentiator that I see is that the medical community are under pressure to apply the most cutting edge science in real life-and-death scenarios, so they are uniquely positioned to be burned by trusting a new hypothesis which appears correct but is subtly but completely wrong which could absolutely cause someone to lose their life.
Your naive solution just creates an even more gigantic stagnant stinky mess of a Salton "sea". The entire point is to reengineer the salton sea as a beautiful ecosystem and lake by diluting all the salt with 5MAF of RO desalinated water. The added benefit is huge economic revitalization of the entire area. Plus, because of the value of minerals in the brine, and the cost-effectiveness of solar power, it is not as expensive and crazy of an idea as one might think.
Palantir has a Youtube demo of their LLM-integrated AIP system:

In the interests of being pedantic, the slice of Antarctica that no one has any claims in is the largest expanse of unclaimed land on Earth, and it has the advantage of being actually unclaimed.

Bir Tawil and the Danube pockets are claimed, it's just that the border disputes mean that both parties argue it's the other side's claim; should the border dispute get resolved, there will be a clear owner of the land.
While I agree one should have these keybindings, fzf + ctrl+r is a lot more powerful, and many a time I was on a system with those keybindings, and it would suck I did not have ctrl+r + fz. I'd say it covers perhaps 70-80% - not 99%.
It looks like you're countering with the "it's always been the case" argument. I use it often myself, but I think it's good to realize when it's stretched too far.

Yes, I'm sure there were some people in the past who said that reading books is an indulgent waste of time. I'm sure you could find articles in old newspapers.

That in itself doesn't mean that working on a VR headset technology is as meaningful as working on a more sustainable energy source or developing software for cancer research, does it? Just because you find a similarity with something that happened in the past doesn't mean you can just abandon all critical thought.
But why are people surprised then that in most software the process is not as thorough as in aerospace or elsewhere with physical things.

Most of the time physical devices failing will have much more severe consequences, than a website going down for an hour. In some cases there are APIs which many other critical systems use and frequently those APIs do have much more rigorous process in making sure that they are reliable.

All of that seems regulated by governments and markets to me.

They have promises of reliability and big financial penalties if they were to fail on that reliability.
This just has not been my experience at all.

I've never had a problem with a junior asking too many questions. Never.

Show HN: Confluent Kafka support added to FastStream v0.4.0rc0
FastStream - https://github.com/airtai/faststream, a stream processing framework, already supports Kafka stream processing using the aiokafka library, as well as other brokers such as Redis, RabbitMQ, and NATS.

Responding to popular demand, the latest 0.4.0rc0 version introduces support for Kafka stream processing using Confluent Kafka's Python library - https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-python.

Please take a look at it and let us know what you think: https://faststream.airt.ai/0.4/confluent/

Wondering why and how we created FastStream? We've documented that in this short blog post - https://dev.to/airtai/how-we-deprecated-two-successful-projects-and-joined-forces-to-create-an-even-more-successful-one-3lon

This is like Liberland in the Balkans. It's not "unclaimed and no one wants it". There are two drawn lines for the border. Each country prefers a different line, which gives them better territory and the other country Bir Tawil. Neither country will tolerate a third party coming in and claiming the land.
Come on, stop making up nonsense. Just to pick one example there are numerous single family homes near Cleveland on the market for under $100K.
This is doable. Many coastal wastewater systems already have large pipes that extend miles to sea (1), and that's a rounding error compared to the many more miles of pipe routing sewage to the plant (2, pg A-3)

Pipes tend to last a long time, in large part because it's relatively straightforward to manage the chemistry problem in the pipes.

There is a problem with this of course. It is like a bait and switch kinda thing. Creators uploaded their content to the platform that was without ads. Their contributions to the content of the platform is what makes or breaks the product. Now they see the platform being ruined.

Maybe YouTube just needs to scale back a bit. Maybe it should never have gotten this big in the first place. Maybe a "community supports it" model would work, if it was smaller. But YouTube is now designed as a money grab (regardless of whether it is a net plus for Google in the end). In an alternative universe YouTube would run libre code and would be open to anyone looking at the code and deploying it on their own servers, community driven and financed project etc.

I certainly will not feel sorry for a company like Google, when they run a platform that covers more dark pattern than most other websites combined and don't share what exactly happens with user data. Google extracts more than enough money out of unethically obtained user data. I don't think we need to be "afraid" that they could go out of business any time soon.

All of it, I have tested it and want to automate it currently.

> I rather missed the point where he explains why immersive games are bad.

I think it's the fact that so many resources go into the final few percent of making games 100% realistic whereas there are other, more important issues that get largely ignored.
Comparing them requires sometimes rejecting new ones. This is different than being someone who is convinced by all arguments they hear.
Plenty of people are thinking about it, including you.

Question, do you have to do the military service as an Israeli citizen if you live somewhere else?
I have a different take than the author. I don't have an issue at all with directed activities being deeply immersive - games most specifically. That is, I like the idea of putting on a headset for a half hour and playing a game, then doing something else.

What I think is much more destructive is when "immersion" just looks like "constant distraction", i.e. the idea that we'll wear these immersive devices all the time so we can be bombarded with "helpful" notifications and, oh look, in-context advertising! That is, when I want to relax I want to relax, and I don't think something holodeck-like is bad for that. But when I want to focus I want to focus, and strapping a headset onto my face for extended periods is not going to help that situation in any way.
If you stuck an AGI inside a Boston Dynamics robot and trained it on a trade I suspect it could replace much of that trade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-e1_QhJ1EhQ

Not an easy problem, but the assumption is that AGI makes solving such problems tractable.

Japan has been working on healthcare robots for decades.

I think the key word is that the robots "could" replace 95% of economically valuable work, not that they will. Using an example from today: we can and have replaced fast food order takers with kiosks, but there are still a lot of people employed as fast food order takers because that's what customers prefer.
Why would they announce it this early? Now everyone is going to be looking to jump ship..
They are not "discoveries" they are "ideas." People get to discuss ideas without taking them seriously.

The battle between the ECCO faction and the SSE faction is a representation of our own, individual, biological drives and conflicts. We will certainly evolve some kind of super-powerful system and it will be an extension of biological characteristics we currently posses. The point of the idea is to realize both possibilities exist within us at this very moment and to understand our choices can influence the thing that is created that will out-pace us. It's just about which genes will be expressed into the super-system, which is the same old story since genetics begat itself.
Show HN: Firefox extension to filter YouTube channels from search
When searching on YouTube, I found myself getting annoyed by the thumbnails of some channels. I created this extension which runs on the search page and filters out any channel mentioned by you in the preferences.

An existing extension exists which does this but it's not open source. So I made one.

There should definitely be a plan for the brine.

I'm optimistic we could:

* Build ocean pipelines that disperse brine over much larger volumes of water to minimize impact on wildlife

* Dump the brine water in engineered desert fields where it will evaporate and deposit salt reserves.

In general, we should be aware of the whole lifecycle of a solution, and optimistically believe we can solve each problem with more work.
We're already doing that with dams.
Because Roth accounts aren't taxed on the growth, and the growth is unbounded.

1. Put in $6000/yr into your Roth.
2. Invest in low-cost, high-risk high-reward stocks.
3. Get lucky.
4. Boom your Roth is worth millions.

For more seed money look at the list of the accounts you're still allowed to roll-over into Roth IRAs, pump money into there, and roll them over.

The only "rich person" thing is some people have access to non-publicly traded stocks but I have those and I'm certainly not rich.
That hasn't been my experience with Turo at all. I've rented via Turo several times in San Diego this past year, having started at the suggestion of a friend. Why? Because Turo can usually use short term parking, and that is always faster and more convenient than going through the rental center. Consider these scenarios:

Traditional airport car rental: Exit baggage claim and catch shuttle to rental car center. Stand in line (almost always), deal with hassles (upselling agents, car not ready, car given to someone else, different car available, etc. Find car in lot, then wait in security/checkout line to leave garage/lot. All that takes 30-60 minutes.

Turo: AirBNB-style app-based car rental with in-app comms with the vehicle owner or rental service (more and more, Turo rentals are via car rental services rather than individual owners). Show up at airport having pre-arranged where the car will be. Exit baggage claim and either pick up the car at the curb or (more typically) in short term parking. The retrieval process is so simple: car will be unlocked with keys in it, and you just get in and drive away. The only thing you have to do is message the owner through Turo that you have picked it up. The return process is just as easy: drop it in short term parking or arrange for the owner to meet you curbside at Departures. It's 100% frictionless relative to the traditional method.

I've found prices to be roughly on par with traditional rental car companies' rack rates. There are some exceptions, and I've also found that Turo is using VC funding to partially subsidize rentals right now, so it can be a bit cheaper in some circumstances. There's also a much wider range of vehicle options, and if you need something specific (pickup truck, full size SUV, minivan, convertible, exotic) Turo can't be beaten.

I know I sound like a shill, but I suggest you try it sometime. The time savings alone -- especially if you're traveling with kids -- makes Turo worth its weight in gold.
This was the money shot here. If that many people are trying to get away from what you do, maybe you shouldn't be doing it.

That's why at Sentry non-technical people don't have the ability to publish new GTM versions. It's tightly controlled because we don't want marketing to shove things in there without engineering and security reviewing.
The issue with COBOL (opinion) is that its used in "business, finance, and administrative systems for companies and governments" (development sponsored by the DoD) which all tend to be high money, secrecy, and competition. Plus, back in 2012, 60% of all companies surveyed still had COBOL in the back somewhere (2017: 43% of banking systems still used COBOL with over 220 billion lines of COBOL code).

There might be stuff written COBOL, except they're never gonna share it with you, cause its far too important to the fight over the $100 trillion stock markets.
Agree with the skepticism, and furthermore if this were such a killer moneymaker you'd expect multiple commercial efforts in this space already.

But this is California - there may be reasons that are not economic or technical that have prevented anyone from trying to develop or pursue such an idea. The concentrated salt-brine discharge, for example, may be impossible to get environmental approval for at these volumes.

I never had an account anywhere else but Chase (run through JPM) is pretty good, independent of branding.

I have no affiliation with them but at the branch I goto there's always a free ATM inside for quick things, they make it easy to schedule meetings for more complex tasks and the bankers who have their own cubicle tend to be knowledgeable (I've encountered a couple of them over the years).

It's super easy to reach them too, and this is with a basic checking account only. Their checking account is free with no penalties as long as you direct deposit $500 / month OR keep $1,500 in there, for most folks on this site the first option means you only need to keep the bare minimum in there to pay your bills.

I don't care about the lack of interest. Most trading platforms will give you 4%+ which IMO has a nice advantage in that you can stick idle cash in there (untraded) and collect risk free interest and you can quickly transfer it back to your bank account if you need it. It's a reasonable solution for an emergency fund, but it also doubles as a way to instantly put money into the market if an opportunity strikes.
