Slack has the permissions because you have enabled Google drive integration, and authenticated your Google account to give that integration permissions to act as you. If you don't enable Google drive integration, you don't get a preview. If you do enable the Google drive integration, slack uses your permissions to generate a screenshot, and send that to the other users. It is you and your effective permissions that are sending a screenshot, bypassing other security.

It is not intuitive if you are not used to how security really works, which is that permissions are granted to masks that you wear, not to any real person. When you give slack permissions to use the drive integration, you are giving them a copy of your mask, and they are you, even unexpectedly. You have a (subconscious) reflex to automatically create and share screenshots of documents that you link, that you have trained via slack's hook. Remove that integration, and everything works as expected.
Meta Quest's are basically video game devices. It's a much different market than AVP.

Meta is selling hundreds of thousands of units a month, so I don't know if I'd say no one wants it either. It seems to be selling pretty well overall, but Meta way overinvested in some of the stuff and is having a hard time making enough money.

Yes. We're also getting fairly intense electromagnetic radiation around 12 hours per day. We call it "sunlight", and and the photons are far more energetic than anything coming from power line frequencies. E = hν, and ν for visible light is around 400-800 terahertz, while power line frequencies are 50-60 hertz.

Show HN: Hacker News AI
Hi HN, I built an AI that can interact with the Hacker News API and answer questions about stories, users, whats trending, what on show etc..

Check it out at: https://hn.aidev.run

You can ask questions like:

- Tell me about the user pg

- What's on hackernews about AI?

- What's on hackernews about iPhone?

- What's trending on hackernews?

- What are users showing on hackernews?

- What are users asking on hackernews?

- Summarize this story: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39156778

It uses function calling to query the HN api.

To answer questions about a particular topic, it’ll search its knowledge base (a vector db that is periodically updated with the “top stories”) and get details about those stories from the API.

If you give it a try, I’d love your feedback on how I can improve it.

If you’re interested, I built this using phidata: https://github.com/phidatahq/phidata

Thanks for reading and would love to hear what you think.
I get this, but do they not give courtesy credits for late items? I ordered something Friday and it showed arrival Saturday. On Saturday, it showed ‘delayed’ and that it would be delivered Tuesday. I called Amazon and they gave me a $5 credit. Surprisingly, it ended up being delivered on Sunday, which was actually within the 2-day guarantee.

I get that it would be annoying to keep having to call/chat Amazon for every order. But if they pay up consistently it would amount to 5-25% off your Amazon purchases (based on my experience, it’s usually around 10-15%). That’s not a terrible tradeoff for slower shipping. In most cases, I’d take the trade!
Agree. As a native speaker, I found these examples to be weird at best. No way any native would write or speak like that.

It's true that you can always define notation to combine all equations you want into one. This means that, by itself, the observation that you can write Maxwell's equations as a single equation doesn't say anything very meaningful.

However, the notation that lets you do this in this specific case is very natural and not specific to Maxwell's equations. Differential forms are very natural objects in differential geometry, mathematicians would have likely introduced them and studied without inspiration from physics. The fact that Maxwell's equations are very simple in this natural geometrical language does say something meaningful about their nature and elegance, I think.

I don’t see why Apple should ship the device with controllers when they don’t ship iPhones or MacBooks with controllers.

And while many games are better with controllers on iPhone/iPad, most games work without them. And I’m sure that’s what Apple has in mind for gaming on AVP. Based on my experience with VR so far I’d actually be more excited for controller-less games. I think there’s a lot of potential for innovation there. Half-Life Alyx was amazing experience. But it was a one and done thing for me. Beat saber I could keep playing for a long time and if you have good hand tracking - and it seems AVP’s is excellent - you could just hold a stick or nothing at all.

I’m sure there will be third party controllers for AVP down the line. But like anything gaming related, it’s not Apples first or even second priority.

To be clear, some of the example translations given for Japanese seem to be for the wrong parts of the documents.

Phrasing English: I am not suited to this world.

Phrasing Japanese: それなのに大人たちは、自分たちのやっている事が好きだと言い張る。

Actual meaning: Despite this, adults insist that they like what they do.

Phrasing English: It's hard to find work you love; it must be, if so few do.

Phrasing Japanese: 数十億人のうち、おそらく二、三十万人といったところだろう。 好きな仕事を見つけるのは難しい。

Actual meaning: Probably 2-300,000 out of billions of people. It's hard to find a job you like.
Fine-Tuning a GPT Model to Mimic My Writing Style
> An engineer "signing off" on something actually means something, with actual stakes.

It's all about the social impact of a mistake.

The reason "engineers" sign off stuff is not because they are engineers. It's because society frowns upon people dying due to a faulty building, wants to see those responsible for the disaster punished and not be behind another project again.

Society's response to ensuring incompetent professionals can't sign off on stuff is to manage an Allowlist of individuals who can sign off, and have mechanisms in place to remove from the Allowlist those who screwed up badly.

These Allowlist are things like professional engineering institutions, and someone who is registered in the Allowlist is called engineer.

Now, does the software engineering world have anything of the sort in terms of importance in a society? No. A service crashing or a bug being sneaked into a codebase does not motivate a strong response from society demanding some people do not ever get behind a keyboard again.
> As if the world needed more unsafe C code connected to the internet.

Assuming (as usual) that the code generation is solid because of curl’s reputation: why not trust it? It would be pretty bad if the generator could emit memory-unsafe code. (I don’t know.)
Great to hear its seamless real-time ultra low-latency. Hopefully the next iteration is blazingly fast too!
I've watched movies for ten hours with a VR headset on a flight, only stopping for food and bathroom breaks. The AVP should comfortably tackle all the issues I had with that (rear-mounted battery, resolution, facial interface comfort, controllers, tracking), and I'm looking forward to taking it on my next flight :-)
> A note; typescript does nothing to ensure types are correct at runtime. Especially in the browser. You need to do runtime checking even if you're using typescript.

I'm not sure I understand - in what situation would you need runtime type checking? I always assumed the situation was similar to Haskell where the types are erased at runtime but it's still impossible (absent opting in to unsafe stuff) to have type errors at runtime.

Not to mention their stock is up and they are worth $1TN, again.

Not sure how I feel about this given the fact of all the scandals that have plagued them and the massive 1BN fine from the EU, Cambridge Analytica, and last of all caused a genocide in Myanmar.

Goes to show that nobody cares about all of these scandals and just moves on onto the future, allowing Facebook to still collect all this data for their models.

If any other startup or mid sized company had at least two of these large scandals, they would be dead in the water.

More non-evil spiders: Children of Time, by Adrian Tchaikovsky
I agree it's the parents' responsibility, but I don't know that the government can't prevent things it deems harmful just because parents are okay with it. It also often makes things easier for parents by being able to require service providers to work with parents and limit their sales to children.

I'm fine with the government enforcing curfews, smoking, and drinking laws on children even if their parents disagree.

I don't think any of the things you listed, except probably Facebook would qualify as a social medium under this law. I'm honestly very thankful more manipulative social media didn't exist when I was a teen. My life probably would have been better if I didn't have access to as many as I did even.

I think you misinterpreted parent comment. My reading was that they would have preferred type-hints to be defined as part of docstring style comments instead of having the type hints inline with the code. From tooling point of view it doesn't make any difference, both forms should be functionally equivalent.

Usually ingesting external data.

You NEED to verify data from outside your app anyways but if you have runtime checking, trying to cheat and skip that step is harder.
Yeah, that's either out of date or only counts people that report their title as "Computer Programmer" rather than "Software Engineer" or one of the myriad of other ways to describe people who develop/maintain software.

I mean users do complain about not being able to sideload apps, which is an issue that is at least partially/minimally addressed through PWAs.
Yeah, this reminds me of the Apple Watch launch. I think Twitter & Slack launched watch apps, but they performed poorly on v1 and they learned people really just want notifications on their watch, so they pulled their apps. Today we just have notifications and it’s completely fine.

That and dev teams are running leaner these days, so it makes sense to wait-and-see for companies with content leverage like YouTube and Netflix.

>Finland is a very poor example, because for over half a century they did exactly what you recommend, and then re-evaluated and abandoned their strategy in a month when Putin invaded Ukraine.

Finland stopped appeasing Russia after the strategic situation had fundamentally changed, and if Ukraine had decided to appease Russia in 2022, they could've waited (in peace) for a similar change.

Specifically, the change was that Russia became weaker and lost direct control over territories like the Baltic states and particularly Ukraine that it cares about a lot more than it cares about Finland, so obviously Russia is going to try to use its dimished resources to regain control over Ukraine and the Baltics before they start caring as much about Finland as they did earlier.

Right, because there isn't a shortage of drivers. There isn't even a lack of drivers.

A ceramic, relatively fragile superconductor can be powdered and embedded in a flexible material, like a polymer, and retain superconducting properties. You see this in use currently with relatively high temperature superconductors, where flexible cables are able to be produced. As long as you have unbroken chain of connections from end to end, in some material the orientation doesn't matter, you just need tiny little bits that are touching eachother sufficient to make an electrical path.

Other materials, like glass, oils, metals, liquids, can serve as an embedded substrate, which can then be encapsulated by a flexible surface material. LK-99, with as much lead content as it had, would be difficult in terms of consumer safety, but graphite is trivial. If you could produce a sufficient quantity of superconducting particles to embed in polymer, then insulate cord, tape, or other flexible form factors, you wouldn't have to worry to much about disposal and recycling. LK-99 would be a possible toxic addition and probably not great for the world, even with superconducting features, in a public commercial context.
Does the question not find begging to be a tad bit pathetic?
Identical twins are super interesting to researchers, because when studying the human body, it's really hard to get a control group.

Even fraternal twins are interesting to sociologists if they were raised in the same household, since for the most part they would have the same or very similar lived childhood experience.
I might be an exception here but I’m actually pretty happy turning on and off a one month subscription twice a year for something I use that often. For things that offer a trial that resets after a few months, it actually ends up free.

Also, you can now install any linux distro you want with a single click using WSL, with full x11 and Wayland support. If there’s a Linux app you prefer, you can use it seamlessly. You can even run a full desktop. I’d almost go as far as to say that nvidia hardware is supported better through WSL, where latest drivers “just work” and I’ve never experienced things breaking, than on baremetal Linux (although that says more about nvidia than any platform).
This should go for everyone regardless of the current economic conditions:

If your company is involved in a merger or acquisition then you should set a mental timer and expect to leave that company before 365 days. The second the merger is announced you should begin resume and professional hygiene.

Do not get caught flat footed. Chances are you'll still have a job there after a year, but the cost of the M&A will come from employees first.
>but the model has trickled down to weather apps and text editors. Software that didn't/wouldn't cost more than ~$50 in an "up front purchase" model, but now requires an ongoing subscription to keep using.

How about using a free text editor or weather app instead? Feels weird to complain about subscription models when there's free first party weather apps for ios and android, and most of the popular text editors are free.
Great article. I agree a lot with the safety culture in commercial aviation and the commitment to investigate and fix root causes.

Although I used to make substantive contributions to several OSS projects, I've pretty much stopped with all of them as of a couple of years ago.

The reason I did this was largely because of the communities around them. Although I'm sure that not all OSS projects are like this, the level of unpleasantness coming from those communities became more than I was willing to put up with and soured me somewhat on the OSS movement in general.

So, personally, I want to see two things before I'd be willing to contribute to a project again: being technically interesting and being socially pleasant (or at least not unpleasant).
I hope no one is shocked by this. The weaponization of regulations against free citizens is only going to ramp up.
The browser itself was ground breaking imho. Everything seemed to require a mobile specific browser and those versions of websites looked like garbage.

The iPhone was (as far as I know) the first device that really and truly let you have real websites on your phone (even if it was just a tiny version of it)

I had been waiting for such a device for a long time, and this was the thing that got me over to Apple in any real sense.
