You don't get 1 million free installs if your app is an alternative app store. For the alternative app stores, they pay 0.50EUR for every first annual install.
This is an excellent landing page. It has a clear call to action and a simple way to capture leads. You may want to change this text "Hi, I'm Aziz Berkay Yesilyurt. I transform tedious workflows into streamlined software." to be details on your call to action ("Automate Your Workflow with One Call".)

This landing page is not going to win you any business on its own. Its further down your funnel. Whether you are running ads or writing content or just word of mouth telling folks about this site after you meet them, your clients will be learning about you from outside of this site. I would think of it as your business card.
My brother laser worked great for years. Then I decided to save money and get generic toner. A week later my brother printer bricked itself. It won’t even turn on. Probably a coincidence, but still makes me angry.
Yeah that’s what I do it’s just annoying though
I like the aggression. This is how Apple has how always worked. Difference is these days you don't have the iconoclast high vis leader who's announcing these policies and a rationale. Just have Apple -- the machine -- doing it, same as it's ever done.

If Steve Jobs was still around there might be a PR blitz with some YouTube videos of him doing a very persuasive ad about why the EU is wrong. And why Apple is right. Hahaha! :)
This is definitely an "old man yells at clouds" post. The author seems to believe that future AI-driven investment systems will work like ChatGPT and so will need to be "talked" to, which is bizarre. By 2040, human financial planners will have gone the way of the human computers of the 1940s.

> This is the second time Alabama has attempted to put Smith to death. In 2022, workers tried and failed to place the intravenous line necessary to kill him with lethal injection drugs. After he was strapped to the gurney for four hours, the execution was called off.

This seems unusual. And cruel.

From The Guardian article:

> Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who along with two other liberal justices dissented, wrote: “Having failed to kill Smith on its first attempt, Alabama has selected him as its ‘guinea pig’ to test a method of execution never attempted before. The world is watching.”

I guess no subsequent inmates can now use the argument that it is 'untested'...

>the expert still has to look up the flights and so on but an AI can process them instantly.

I get the idea though that the expensive experts actually have access to back channels that can allow them to skip right to the result.

So unless the LLMs also are granted access to these sorts of exclusive channels, how can they compete?

It's often who you know that will get you results. So who exactly do LLMs know? And will those people even interface with LLMs or provide a way for LLMs to interface with their exclusive resources?

Because those people mostly don't exist and you're not given the choice. RenTech exists but has to cap the size of their internal market-beatung fund, because their strategies only scale to a certain extent. They're a hedge fund, not a financial advisor - and they do indeed do what the GP said and just invest for themselves. Almost all other folks out there revert to the mean after a while.

But that doesn't mean there aren't good financial advisors. They're not helping you best the market, they're helping you ensure a good financial future within the scope of your existing wealth and income. They do apply their skills to themselves, but you need a job and a big base of money before s&p returns will make you rich. :)
Bingo. And this is the problem with the DMA. Protectionist and gerrymandered.

Why isn't Spotify part of the DMA? Who knows!? Ask any musician and they'll tell you it should be.
Don't forget the Pav Bhaji. The "Pav" in the name of the dish derives from Portuguese "Pāo".

FWIW, I don't think the author is talking about executives. I think he's talking about people on the level of ultra high-net-worth individual (UHNWI). People with roughly $30m or more in investable assets.

People like that prefer to be focused on exactly whatever their building, and babysitting the money is rarely that thing. They often approach their private wealth manager with a broad plan on goals, and the PWM goes out and executes them with light direction. There are lawyers and accountants in the loop as well, all working on paper to manage the cash pile. It's a long term, multi-generational relationship that often involves multiple parties, one of which is often some or many governments.

In addition, the PWM in this position prefers to get the client directly on the phone when possible. This is both to manage the relationship, and to sell novel finance products, often ones that aren't available on the open market.

Until we get AGI, it's just not quite there to be outsourced to AI. People at that level really prefer having a person be responsible.
That's just for the PR, though. He's digging the repairability and serviceability of his Toyota.
Is that going to change? It looks like Apple is charging 0.50EUR per first-annual install of every alternative app store (no free installs for the first million). So it's going to cost money to run an alternative app store.
You can also design the pieces like humans that fight each other in long unskippable animations each time a piece is captured. (Does anyone remember Battle Chess?)
There is no topic more popular on HN than European regulations. Thats a pretty sad state of affairs if you think about it. Personally I'd be interested in blocking every thread like this. Though I don't think these regulations will survive because the EU won't survive. Its like discussing Soviet law. Its totally pointless on a tech blog.
But where was the aluminum for the door mined?
It’s interesting how people react to these designs. For me, I actually find them more confusing than the actual piece shapes, probably because I have the symbols of knight, rook, etc. burned into my mind from playing chess for thousands of hours as a kid. But it could also be because the geometric shapes are too abstract and lack character, which makes them harder to distinguish from each other.

It brings to mind the idea that everything is ultimately a representation, even the things designed to be as straightforward as possible.
Because the term "Indian" is largely used to refer only to Northern Indian "things". In this case, Butter Chicken. It's not something that you'd normally find anyone cooking down South.
I don't know much about the Kernel or testing it, but I submitted one fix years ago that I ended up testing it manually, and that was enough for it to be accepted. I think that's just the culture, which might seem odd to some, but also I imagine it would make coordination almost impossible if they were sticklers for testing. I've also known companies to run full integration tests instead of using stuff like unit tests. Maybe that's more suitable for Kernel testing due to how complex the kernel space environment is. Wondering if anyone has more context.

On a different note, I think it's true that the Linux desktop still sucks in 2024. At this point I would be willing to pay a substantial amount for stuff to be clean, consistent, and "just work" on the desktop. Doubt we will ever get there, but maybe companies like Valve will clean it up enough.
Let's say I have $100k to invest, and can beat the market by 10% a year which is unrealistically good. I could make $10,000 a year extra with a decent amount of savings. I suppose leverage can increase this, but you see the point, right? If you lack serious capital then even a strong edge is not worth as much as a part time job at a fast food restaurant.
I know exactly what you mean. Recently I was on vacation in a country where a cab would take you through town for a price which would not be enough to get a taxi driver in my country to even start the engine.

Of course some would charge you twice as much as others, which would still be very cheap compared to home, but that's not the comparison you make. You compare it to what the last taxi driver charged you and now you feel ripped off and disrespected by this particular taxi driver, even though now you are haggling about what is peanuts to me.
You hit on a really core thing... another way to say it is that a robot can only sell the experiences that exist in some packaged form, and that in itself is exactly what UHNWIs explicitly don't want.
> it's unlikely many or any of them go bankrupt in the next 5 years, so they at least know they can _eventually_ write it off.

I don't think this really matters all that much to small biz. It really has a lot of effect on the middle, where taking a $50/yr effectively leaves you having to deal with $40m you can't treat as an expense this year. It's a great way to cause unemployment.

Everything about the author's description of the "dream vacation" sounded awful.

A proper vacation is being able to spend 2-3 months abroad and taking it easy with no specific plans. The author describes a highly optimized itinerary where every meal and every day counts. Sounds like more stress than a vacation.
You often don’t get the copyright to the photographers take of you, even if you are paying them. It depends on the contract you sign. I won’t hire photographers who won’t give me rights to the photos at the end. This has been an issue with a surprising number of them.
Maybe even the 1920’s!

“They say the recipe […] was invented by Gujral in the 1930s”.

Jk.

Let’s do the math:

Assume 5 years old to remember anything.

1946 is before 1947.

To be 5 in 1946, they’re born in 1941.

1941 was 82 years ago.

82+ years old and commenting on HackerNews?

Statistically unlikely but definitely plausible. Us nerds are getting up there in years so there’s certainly some octogenarians hanging around.

I have an eye condition, not sure what it's called, but bright lights really hurt me. Black backgrounds are just natural for me to use because they don't hurt. It really needs a proper color scheme on top of it though. Simply changing the background results in something just as bad.

Off topic as hell hopefully, but "Why we lubricate threaded fasteners was a semi recent submission & it's had surprising uhh sticking power in head. Lubrication overcomes a lot of friction that can create variability in tensioning.

The standout example was giving students a bunch of torque wrenches & telling them to fasten a bolt, & then measuring the applied tension. And folks getting absurdly different numbers. The lubrication is there to allow the torque to consistently get applied.

There could be all kinds of issues here, but this lesson on the difficult of bolting things consistently was interesting on its own & perhaps apropos. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38921339 https://reliabilitysolutions.net/articles/why-do-we-lubricat...
Are there alternatives to using Apple's SDK, if you want to target Apple's hardware, which has a substantial market share?

Limiting the ability for dominant companies to crown themselves gatekeepers and toll all who pass was the intent of the EU rules.

If Apple tries to argue that the one SDK is intrinsically tied to the hardware, and also conveniently is required for apps on any store... that starts to sound a lot like 90s Microsoft and Internet Explorer, except Apple doesn't have the "But it's free" defense.
If I am charged before I can see the content, the answer is no. Most content on the Internet is bullshit, more and more it is autogenerated bullshit. Even more likely if you are monetizing it.
I believe BeReal is kind of like this, with an additional time constraint.
Undercranking was generally used for dramatic effect, but I definitely have read about it being used to allow longer takes with a fixed film reel length - if you undercrank by 10%, you get 10% more time before you have to stop and reload.

There's plenty of cross platform APIs, some of them quite ancient and established, the problem though is too many choices.

But cost of living is absurdly up, and the empire & opportunity are falling. Most will not do as well as their parents, even with more wealth, weird as that is.
One point of education: since your list includes costs that can be arbitralily set by Apple (eg, cross-subsidies), no one is going to educate you on what the break-point is (and also it requires too intimate knowledge of financials of a very secretive company)

That's not a bad idea, I have a small electric screwdriver that could work. What I really want is something with a spinning head angled 90º facing forward though, like the gun-type automatic wire strippers [1]. It's a lot easier to hold a trigger-type interface and reset it quickly than a screwdriver-grip-type interface.

Because the spirit is always in conflict with itself. Humans cannot be reasoned with.

This is not even anywhere near settled either, thats why various legal experts apply multiple different interpretations of the law, which is the ultimate form of this argument.

And no, just because you say it is so, does not make it so.
>> P-zombies believe they have consciousness, say they have it...

> Yes, but by definition, they lack the subjective qualities of our experiences.

And, also by definition, each p-zombie has (at least in an accessible possible world) a physically identical, but conscious, doppelgänger. Speaking and writing are physical processes, so in any circumstance where the conscious doppelgänger writes about the reality of its consciousness, the physically-identical p_zombie will do the same.

In the case of the p-zombie, there was a causal process leading to the physical act of writing in which consciousness played no part - and, ex hypothesi, the same physical causality must have played out in the zombie's conscious doppelgänger. In general, whatever explains the zombie's observable characteristics is sufficient to explain the doppelgänger's observable characteristics, and that explanation cannot be dependent on consciousness. In particular, if one accepts the possibility of p-zombies, one must logically accept that no explanation of consciousness, regardless of how thorough and well-supported it seems to be, has any basis in any facts about consciousness.

A consistent belief in zombies seems to lead to epiphenomenalism, the notion that we have conscious experiences, but they play no part in what happens to our bodies. Frank Jackson, author of the well-known "Mary the neuroscientist" thought experiment, came to the same conclusion, which is why it appeared in a paper with the title "Epiphenomenal Qualia."

For more on zombies, see Dennett, "The Unimagined Preposterousness of Zombies."

Another very significant contribution to the pg ecosystem. You guys are awesome, thank you for everything you're doing.
Gitlab and github ci is fine until you're working in an environment with major compliance requirements for self hosted everything and/or basically infinite build history. At that point, sadly you're back in Jenkins world.

Another thing that kills Jenkins alternatives is just a sufficiently diverse number of languages/projects/build types. Plugin ecosystem sucks, but it's massive, and some of it will probably work for whatever use case. It's painful but your only alternative is also painful.. curating custom runner-containers for another ci tool with less existing historical effort to leverage
Let me check if I got this right, you pointed your website to somebody else's server (CloudFlare), without telling them about it or having any sort of account or relationship with them?
Me neither. Besides, there is this enduring confusion all over the place that "AI := LLM". I'd expect the radical AI (ML) innovations to be somewhere else in the long-run (like, say, in robotics, as hinted by the title but downplayed by the text).
Because with apps, I can download something built proper from the community like Ripcord instead, that uses less than 100mb of my memory.
Ask HN: How'd you manage the password managers' master password?
In general, I like to be helped by password managers to do the heavy lifting, but how to make out the best of the master password?

xkcd/936 is OK-ish for educated geeks, but in practice for a large amount of no-tech users, they only have a few candidates of fruits, sports, animals, or city names to pick from, let alone not to mass it up in memory at some point.

For now, the best option seems to store a complex master password in your phone's keychain and protect it with biometric authentication, but it's important to keep your phone safe. If someone steals your iPhone and the passcode, they could wipe out your iCloud account within just a few clicks.

Now shameless plug, I've just posted "accdoo cipher" on Show HN two days ago [1], and if you have one second to spare, here is my pa33w0rd for demonstration [2].

Any other ideas?

btw: I feel relieved that password managers (Bitwarden and 1Password for example) only require a minimum length for your master password. There are no complicated rules to follow, which is great. I hope other companies follow their approach.

> the cost of bringing things back is basically free.

No, because they'd still have to pay to bring all the extra fuel to get the junk back up off the moon and back to Earth. And before that spend the cost of that extra fuel getting it up there. When every pound is like thousands of dollars it really adds up.

This is a great example because it shows just how relative "wealth" is, and makes the thought experiment accessible to anyone in a first-world country. It's just my conjecture, but I don't think most billionaires "don't care about $1000". The few people I've met with a net worth over $100M are sharp bargainers. I think the view that "they won't miss $1000" or "why would they care" is a fundamental misapprehension of the psychological make-up of wealthy people that's commonly held among people who don't have a lot of money. (And so when the wealthy do notice and care, the explanation would be that they must have an axe to grind).
I think this gets down to a fundamental problem with tech that society is ignoring like a pink elephant in the room.

Society fundamentally changed with the introduction of computers. Things have become possible that were never possible before. This is obvious if you consider the tech of 1900, 1950, and today.

The elephant in the room is that the more complete the dataset the more dangerous it is. Its like gunpowder. Firecrackers are sold without license, small amount of gunpowder. Dynamite and other explosives with larger amounts of gunpowder are heavily restricted because of the damage that can be done. Today, there are laws against re-packaging explosives to protect people.

I believe the damage that these datasets are doing to society are covert and second-order effects that are hard to track. Most datasets like what the NSA are doing are kept secret precisely because they don't want transparency. If there was transparency, the damage would become obvious that regulations would swiftly come.

It seems like there's a gap to be filled between the recent Carta issues and now this.
It's the principle, behind common law, that matters. Principles, that establishes the right of the people to give power to government to assign a certain scope of rights and privileges to corporations. All laws are based on principles.
Maybe so, but I have no doubt Apple lawyers could make a plausible argument — in good faith, even — that you might need a license to link against required iOS libraries.

I'm not sure I fully agree with the "simplification and reduction" premise if the only way I can get an image onto Daft Social is if I host it elsewhere first.

So if I'm reading this right, I would snap a photo on my phone, host the image somewhere, then send the URL to that image in an email. That doesn't sound overly simple.

> you can't become wealthy if you make a habit of allowing people to chisel you.

I remember a guy rudely criticizing my younger brother, who was a quiet, well-behaved little kid, for being wasteful because he took two napkins instead of one. Our family were guests on his $5 million yacht.

First generation wealth often have a quirky relationship with money. They're mulishly stubborn penny pinchers with some things, but spend money foolishly on other things. Some are completely allergic to all debt, even when it makes objective financial sense to finance a thing instead of paying cash.

I think it's just really hard to shake old habits that they worked hard to build and that served them so well in the past before they built their wealth, even if those habits are actually hurting them now.
