> I don't understand what hosting fees have to do with apps.

Apple hosts the apps, doesn't charge devs or customers anything for bandwidth used when downloading them. At the time the store launched, this was a big part of my overall costs, which Apple covered in full from their take.

> The app store seemed to be more or less a ripoff of Facebook's (now long defunct) app store, back when Facebook was a web-based app-of-apps, and AFAIK Facebook apps were free plugins.

I forgot that ever existed, so I searched for it. Looks like FB's was announced about 4 years after Apple's App Store?

Portugal decriminalised all drugs. It got a lot nicer, and certainly is now far less squalid than the US. So that theory is out.
If you want an open source alternative use Zettlr or Logseq
I'm surprised nobody here's mentioning AppFlowy. Is Logseq that much better?

By now I'm quite efficient, haha.

Heavy stuff in the beginning, fragile stuff at the back, from large to small (so that I bag the heavy and large stuff in the bottom and then fragile and small I squeeze in carefully).

I recently heard of a tip from people who become anxious at the cashiers: Fruits and veggies at the end, because often they need to weigh it and sometime also input numbers manually, this gives those extra few seconds at the end.
Or to pirate games in general. 99% of the Steam library is trivial to pirate but that's doing just fine.

The Switch is on its last legs anyway, and the successor will reset jailbreaking/emulation progress back to zero.
The author is making a category error.

Epic poets adopting, stitching, recycling, riffing, borrowing from other sources is appropriate for the medium of and vocation of poetry. It's appropriate for an oral tradition in oral societies.

Universities are not institutions of oral societies. The scientific method is not an institution of oral societies. Reproducibility and falsification of claims would not be possible.

The idea that a research university president should be held to the standards of ancient poets rather than the standards of a research university is silly. Citation of the provenance of one's claims, ideas, facts, data, and methods is central to what makes a university and university and what makes the production of knowledge using the scientific method a success.

If Dr Gay wishes to take the works of others, remix them, put her own spin on their work, integrate them into her framework, then she should go into the arts and become a poet or lyricist.
This is the one - it works great. I also use it in iOS, but I needed to use the Working Copy workaround to get the initial sync complete.

I wish charging stations were a bus along the row of spaces with arms that rise up from the center of a parking spot to couple with the charging port of a car on the underside. Then, if its not a EV - the arm just stays down and the spot is just a flat regular spot.

If that makes sense.
Plume is built on top of my open source note-taking app Notes[1]. Since Plume is based on Notes, I'll of course comply with the MPL license and release all existing files that were changed (and must stay MPL licensed).

But I recently discussed my reasoning to go close-source[2]. I've been working night and day (every day) converting 4 cups of coffee into code for the last 4.5 months to create Plume. I don't want to risk not being rewarded sufficiently for it. But, I'm 99% sure that I'll either open source the core block editor or the entire app in the future.

> I don't know how Nintendo survives as an independent console maker in the years to come

Given that emulators usually take years after a console’s release to be generally reliable, the obvious answer is doing what console makers have always done: releasing a new console every few years.
HN guidelines has this to say about contents of your comment:

Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.
especially at normal speed, if that's what we're doing I'll just play it on the switch.

When I'm able to significantly speed the game up, then I'll consider emulating it.

The problem is that I often play games like RPG's that like to make you sit and wait on load screens and animations, speeding it up allows me to experience the game in far less time.
Good explanation (assuming it’s accurate) thank you
My feelings are mixed. Hacking and emulating has been part of the gaming community for decades but isn’t this illegal?
Sounds intriguing, checking it out!

Ask HN: Why YC accepted so many teams doing duplicated topics
YC's portofolio companies, Vellum, Stack AI, AgentHub, Flowise, to name a few, are doing very similar topic, i.e., no-code/low-code LLM-app builder.

Does YC encourage internal peer competition? Isn't this a bit unfair for the founders selling 7% share for this unnecessary and awkward situation?

In addition, given Sam's complex roles across YC, OpenAI and many other companies, it seems OpenAI is conducting everything it can to kill any AI startup sprout regardless of costs.
Ah, this is a US focused study? Strange for it to be on the BBC.

Personally, as a customer (UK), it's been pretty damn good. Especially scan as you shop.

They're not perfect, everyone's experienced "unexpected item in the bagging area", or had a quick trip halted by having to wave down a staff member for a full cart scan.

Part of the problem mentioned at the top of the article is the store's cut too many staff from checkout; having only one on hand to manage the "fleet" of 12-20 tills does not work well. You need 3-4, so you've got some leeway if a few customers need a verification (full scan, or restricted goods) or a till needs some troubleshooting at the same time.

But when it works; the queue moves quicker, stuff isn't being thrown along the till haphazardly.
this is the most fun story, constant trying to figure out what atom did we miss? it has great suspense
Technically yes, but their policy and business value proposition to the end user says they don’t. it would wipe hundreds of billions of dollars of their worth overnight if it were ever shown Apple was secretly, willfully selling individual’s personal health information. Follow the money.
Squalid applies to maintenance and upkeep, not necessarily the presence of drug users and homelessness.

So in the us it’s a budget and planning issue. Places with representation and money get stuff done and other places do not.. largely because nobody cares.
I have absolutely no idea how emulator development is but I always wondered how specific bugs like these are fixed; is it just adding an if statement specific to this game or are these just general bugs that get fixed and could just as well also fix something undiscovered in other games as well?
Yes but OneNote has tabs along the top and down the side.

Obsidian's tabs along the top show open documents, whereas with OneNote it's more a placeholder for more data.
If you graduated from school and only used work that was public domain, would you have all the knowledge you currently have? Have you learned anything from anybody since graduating?

Where is the line? It’s ok for humans to learn from others work but not a machine?
In my first CS class at university the professor started with "We are not going to teach you programming. You can do it on your own time. This program is called computer science, and that's what it will cover."

It was a bit harsh at the time, but over the next semester or two plenty of students switched majors when they couldn't keep up with graph theory, combinatorics, linear algebra, advanced algorithms, computer architecture, compilers. Too many people are enrolling in CS programs these days because they want a quick ticket to a cushy tech job, and I'm happy that's not what reputed programs are catering to.

Funny enough there were a few classes on debugging, but it wasn't about the process of finding bugs in code but rather "here's the GNU debugger, crack it open and figure out what's going on inside". I also don't understand how one can even "teach" debugging like the author envisions. It's like saying why don't schools teach problem solving or why don't schools teach intelligence. If students are getting regular non-trivial programming assignments they have no choice but to develop the skill themselves.
sr.ht is such a pain to browse, why would someone pick this over GitHub.
From the piece:

"People have a weird habit of acting as if the university is an institution of the Enlightenment, dedicated to the free enquiry of the individual intellect. It’s not! The university, alongside the capitalist mode of production, is one of the only major institutions that come to us out of the Middle Ages. It belongs to the age of repetition: the era of Dede Korkut."
Simple huh? I know the Chevy Volt has an engine to warm the battery. With a massive battery like Tesla's, I don't see heating the battery as "simple".
Don’t forget that “cashiers” aren’t a real job anyway, and with self checkout technology it allows someone who was a checker to be inspired to be a software engineer.

All they need to do is drop everything to learn one of the most competitive and hardest cross-disciplinary skills and jump into a shrinking market!
Love the idea + really nice website!
Fun fact:
There are some trains from Berlin to Munich which go through Leipzig, where they come out of the train station the same way they go in there, so both your ride direction and window side switches, which can be very annoying. ("luckily" there isn't much sunshine in this area most time of the year, haha)
That article lists one example which "likely still turns a small profit", and contains allegations from other groups that Amazon is selling some books below cost.

That small margin above wholesale in the article's example is probably still effectively selling at a loss when you account for overhead of running the store, shipping, etc. It certainly would be for a smaller competitor.

Either of those represents a price that a competitor whose only business is selling books cannot compete with. Amazon can offer these prices as a loss leader because of their position in other markets, not because it has found a more optimal way to run the business of selling books.
> The official line from /r/haskell is “all optimization is the root of all evil”.

That claim doesn't match my experience at all. Can you give some examples of that attitude being demonstrated on /r/haskell?
I had one of these watches for 2 days. I returned it. These health monitoring features are just gimmicks. The watch itself just becomes one more distraction and thing that needs maintained and charged, etc. I'd rather just have a basic timex digital watch which never needs charged.

Show HN: Building With AI – Learn how to build AI products that wow
Hey HN!

Today we're launching Building with AI, a one-stop-shop to learn how to build AI products that wow

We’ve spent thousands of hours with AI product leaders and experts from companies like OpenAI, Fireflies, and Gamma to deconstruct the tactics & best practices included in these resources.

The backstory

In 2017, my brother and I launched A.I. For Anyone—a nonprofit that taught AI fundamentals to over 70,000 people. Today, we’re co-founders of Autoblocks, a solution for testing and improving GenAI products.

We realized two important things during this journey:

1/ The best product teams follow a set of best practices when building with AI, and

2/ Educational resources for AI product builders aren’t very good.

What’s up ahead

Season 2 of BWAI Podcast: Our flagship podcast is back for another season, letting you hear directly from top AI product builders and experts.

BWAI Newsletter: Fresh insights delivered straight to your inbox! In each issue, we dig into a key idea at the intersection of AI and product building.

BWAI Academy: Tactical guides that dig deeper into best practices from top AI product builders.

Did we mention all of this is free? Excited to hear what you all think!
I had to stop reading after second paragraph.
Why did WPF go out of style? (or did it? idk) It seems like a good pattern, but it's always good to look at historical cases for the gotchas
Nintendo will continue to do well in the years to come, regardless of the progress of emulation. Normal people don't care about emulation or the Steam Deck. The Switch and the next iteration will continue to offer a just works experience which is what most people want. Nobody wants to be dealing with graphical/performance issues, pirating games etc. They just want to buy a game and play it.
Fair enough.

Tritium comes from D+D reactions, which… make a lot of neutrons in the process.
Or, just go with PV that tolerates higher temperature better. GaAs PV cells are used in some satellites for this reason, I think. Here on Earth, CdTe is used in place of Si in some hotter environments for this reason as well. CdTe has the advantage of being extremely thin (the absorption length of photons in the material is something like 0.1 microns) which could be an advantage in space, where the PV arrays could be deployed as extremely thin sheets, much thinner than modules on the ground that have to stand up to wind, rain, and gravity.
If we are talking about data ownership, that is not relevant here. Whether the drive is removable or not has no bearing on whether you implement a 3-2-1 backup. Data stored in one location inside a portable device is always at risk. Drop the laptop in the bathtub or lose it in the airport and the result is the same soldered or not.

Nothing about an Apple system stops you from backing up to an external drive (or even booting from one) and the external I/O is fast enough for high-performance SSDs.

Let's go down the data ownership road, though: The consumer didn’t need to be brainwashed into cloud storage. Dropbox didn’t need a Super Bowl ad to become a household name. The services solve a real problem, one that existed before drives were soldered. In mayn cases you can't solve the problem for the same amount of money on your own (just put a cheap Synology system and two hard drives in your Amazon cart along with replacement disks every 3-6 years and tell me how much that costs compared to the $8.25/month you pay for Google One. I'm not even sure you can make it breakeven, ever).

Hell, I’ve never given Dropbox a dime and they have stored and synced all my important documents for almost a decade now. Not a single item has ever been lost. I’m a terrible storage provider in comparison.

An analogy to what you're saying is that someone who leases a car doesn't really get the benefits of that car. But that's not really true, is it? If you lease the car you're the only one who gets to drive it. Tangible data ownership is more of a philosophical preference than a matter of "does this solve my problem or provide me with benefits?"
I would suggest editing and reading the markdown files in other editors to make avoid getting "locked in."

You certainly could create your own lock-in by making some unique workflow that requires a combination of plug-ins to function. The plugins are all third party, some of them are just annotating the existing markdown files, some are just visual.

Obsidian is too clunky for a daily driver text editor. Compare to Sublime. Obsidian also sometimes breaks. Last week it gave me a fully white window, I couldn't use it at all despite a reinstall. It should be ported to a C lang or similar.

I assume that's the same Itek that made lenses for the Corona Spy Satellite program?

That's cool as heck. I am just a photographer, but I collect aerial lenses and own 2 Pacific Optical 18" f/3 lenses in 70mm format, serial numbers 6 and 13. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a surplus Itek 24" f/3.5 though :)

You're right, it's not a matter of size alone.

Japan is much more homogenous than the US, as far as I understand, and trust in government institutions also seems to be much higher. Both advantageous preconditions for establishing a national eID system!
Yes. Very.

Cowen probably puts in more research than any other interviewer. His style is pretty unique, but the interviews never become rambly and the guests get to showcase much more range.

I think this is why entrepreneurship immediately has people thinking of tech startups over anything else, because it's one of the few remaining forms of entrepreneurship in the purest, rawest sense: a single scrappy individual creating outsized value with limited resources. A guy, his laptop, and an internet connection, with almost no red tape in his way.

Regulatory capture & gratuitous litigation has made true entrepreneurship impossible in many domains. It's state-endorsed oligopoly of heirs, heiresses, and corporations.
100W per person isn't enough to keep you comfortable, but it's more than enough to keep you alive, unless you're not wearing clothes or you have the window open or something. A candle is enough, and it's less than 100W, and warms the air rather than your body.

7. The torque an EV puts out is infinitely controllable. Give DC current to an AC motor and you get 0 torque. Give it full current with the appropriate waveforms and I get enough to spin the tires on dry pavement. And anything in between, fully controlled by the accelerator pedal.

Never once have I had to rock the EV back and forth to get it uphill out of my driveway when there's snow on top of ice, I just feather the accelerator. I have to do it quite regularly on my Mazda.
It is 100% legal if you obtain your ROMs legally (i.e. own the game and somehow dump it).
Yeah, that’s not how real people actually communicate in real life, so your criticism is pretty baseless here.
Many countries just hide poverty and homelessness. For instance by sending them all to a district foreigners don’t go to or know about.
Right, but the scenario we are describing explicitly makes the “in the raw” part not particularly relevant.

I’m not against markdown as an idea of file format, I’m just saying that it has some pretty clear limitations that I think are very much within the scope of what I want out of a tool like that and that weird MDX format they have as a substitute is a step backwards in my opinion.
Of course, there's also the June "toaster oven". ;-)

I was wondering the same lately. It is interesting to compare his tweets to pg's tweets which are the complete opposite: patio11's tweets feel like oddly specific and extremely hard to parse while pg's tweets seem very generic and easy to parse yet insightful. Honestly the only reason I follow patio11 is that his style and content is so different from other people I follow that I feel I need this diversification.
What are monkey embryos, if not monkeys, and at what point do they transmute into monkeys?
Or could it be that continuous tax cuts for upper tax brackets, and resulting deeper and deeper cuts in funding for basics like maintenance lead to shit like breakdowns in public infrastructure. I could see thins in places like NH in the 90s and 2000s, that libertarian paradise proved the idea of no taxes didn't work.

Poverty and squalor are a result growing economic disparity. Sure citys were cleaner decades ago. But compare how many hours at minimum wage it'd take to pay a mortgage then vs now. We hear the octogenarians in charge talk about buying a house out of highschool on a factory workers salary. Not only can't you do that now, but the factory likely closed a decade ago.

The point of decriminalization isn't to let people do drugs. It's so when people do get themselves in trouble, it's easy to get them back on track, instead of punishing them, and pushing them deeper in a hole with prison, and debts from fines, etc.
Apple's justification seems counterintuitive, given that the commission only applies to app sales or in-app purchases. Since free apps don't pay anything, what is the commission for if not for "services as a payment provider"?
I only just learned about the concept of weight checks, I'd assume they weigh whatever you 'present' to have bought and compare that to what you scanned.

If you don't scan it and you put/keep it in your backpack, that's not different from doing the same but going through the cashier checkout right? They already had that problem, so if they keep that as it was but reduce the amount of personnel, that's a net positive?

All this works pretty well for my personal needs. For work I use OneNote because the whole company uses OneNote.
