'forced purchase' is much different when its $8 and not $150 (and let's be clear you can get bluetooth headphones and earbuds for well under $100 at this point). Let's also remember that when apple made this change originally they packed in earpods w/ lightning connectors.

I can understand some grousing when the headphone jack was removed. I can't understand grousing still almost 8 years later. Buy the phone or don't buy the phone, they clearly aren't going to add the jack back.

Self-Hosted Uptime Monitoring with Rust: How To
Just the other day, I discovered a rather incredible ambient/drone album using a nonstandard tuning [1] via Spotify's Discover Weekly, and excitedly pinged all my art-music-liking friends about it.

Seconded. I am also keenly interested in learning more. It would be a great boon on my current project to be able to let the AI refactor mountains of legacy code (while taking steps to ensure the results are trustworthy and equivalent, of course.)
Perhaps we need to identify a substitute before quitting a certain thing? Something pleasurable and beneficial (not work). Like reading a book.

Simply cutting something out will leave a gap where that something was. We should fill it with things of our choosing otherwise it will be filled up with something of a similar gap shaped thing!

I think that poster was saying that the meme of men having an aversion to therapy, ie "that men have an aversion to therapy," is a meme that needs to die. That most men have an aversion to something branded "therapy" is in itself a sexist meme that directly affects most men, and men would be better off if they stopped having this aversion.

It's pretty arrogant of you to claim that you know what people prefer and consent to, when in fact you know neither of those things.

Given the primary purpose of GDPR banners is asking permission for tracking so you can advertise to me, which I've already made abundantly clear I do not want, no, I don't prefer GDPR banners. Just don't track me, and you won't have to do this nonsense.

GDPR banners are a symptom of the blight you're supporting. Don't blame it on us.

In this case, you should pull the door to open it. The mirror writing suggests that the instruction is not meant for your current position outside the door but for those inside, indicating the action they should take to open the door from their side.

You’re correct in that the predictions of doom following his laying off staff were misplaced. To the extent any layoffs seem regretful with the benefit of hindsight, it’s in the trust & safety team, not among the engineers. (A lesson Silicon Valley noticed.)

What isn’t working fine are Twitter’s financials. It remains cash-flow negative and looks increasingly likely to go into restructuring.

I manage electricians, and this is highly dependent on the task. In most cases I’d rather send two JWs vs a JW and apprentice.

I’d send two JW to pipe a new feeder, but I’d send an apprentice and JW if they’re just pulling wire and the pipe is installed already. An apprentice can easily feed wire while the JW pulls, but a JW is going to be much better at piping than an apprentice.
Rejected for a Prompt Engineer job, I launched a startup with my demo project
Duncan here, founder and developer of Shiro (https://openshiro.com), a dev platform for prompt engineering.

Shiro enables teams to do rapid prototyping of prompts. You can perform a quantitative and qualitative analysis of multiple prompts, parameters, models, and even model providers across a variety of test cases.

So it makes it easy to quickly prototype, deploy, version, and monitor LLM calls. You can create complex prompts with variables, tags, and filters using the Liquid templating engine.

Prompts can then be deployed for use in production environments and accessed via our API, either to execute the call to the LLM or to access the prompt value. This allows developers to deploy a prompt while still optionally enabling technical or non-technical users to modify the prompt without updating code.

Last year I applied for a "Senior Prompt Engineer" position with Khan Academy. I was rejected, so I used my demo project from the application to launch Shiro. This is my story.

Exactly. That’s also why I find low parameter LLMs to be useless for me personally. I simply cannot trust anything that is so very illogical. GPT-4 is the first LLM that crossed into usable territory for me. Even GPT-3.5 was a fun toy and maybe good for summarization, but that’s it. It will be revolutionary when GPT-4 is cheap enough that thousands of calls don’t cost much. To imagine an LLM much smarter GPT-4…the future is bright.
Yeah, there are lots of other little aspects that push something closer to or farther from being the kind of thing we usual mean by “social media” (“so it’s a fuzzy category?” yes, like approximately all other categories and labels). Downplaying personal or account identity (which HN does to a more extreme degree than even most forums et c) definitely counts as moving something toward the “not social media” side.
Mussolini is insanely popular in Sicily, which is alarming because not only was he a Fascist, but a Northern Italian.

It's a matter of the payoff though. Sure, it's easier to cut the tail off a single dead rat than a single live rat.

But if your goal is to maximize the number of rat tails you end up with, cutting it off a live rat is probably worth the additional effort.

Whether it is a bad idea for usability depends on what you are trying to accomplish. For example, Matthew Butterick's online book Practical Typography styles links so that they are not highlighted or underlined in any way. Instead, they are instead followed by a small red circle [1]:

"Vigorously styled hyperlinks on a page tend to move to the foreground of a reader’s attention, like an HDTV in a hotel bar. [...] The red circle is meant to be noticeable while you’re reading the sentence that contains the link. Otherwise it disappears, so as not to distract."

> Do we have good evidence for that, or is it just what the people that hire CEOs tend to think?

I think so, and it’s largely in the attrition of start-ups due to executive leadership breaking down. Start-up founders are already a rarefied group; that so many break down or flip out or can’t handle all the balls in the air is telling. (There is plenty of academia on the topic. It doesn’t support massive paydays. But certainly single-digit millions, i.e. life-changing money for someone who may already be rich.)

ANTS go to global war. Murdering a significant amount of your rivals over territory is a completely normal animal thing. The fact that we are very good at it and invented explosives to do it "better" is just another feather in our cap that we have made ourselves "different". Hell, dolphins murder porpoises and launch them 50 ft into the air for shits and giggles and rape other dolphins when they are bored.

Philosophy is an invention of humans. Laws are an invention of humans. ETHICS are an invention of humans. Nature thinks our laughable attempts at "being ethical" are adorable. Nature is perfectly happy for us to brutally torture each other.

Quite frequently. Personally, I think part of the issue is explicit vs implicit noise in the system. There's always noise in the system, so there is always reasons to reject or criticize something. Very few things have unobjectionable global optima. But if noise is explicit in the system, people tend to take a bit more care. If it is implicit, well people act like the metric is doing exactly what it is intended to do and can't be hacked.

Momentum is a pretty powerful force.

[Edit]: I thought I'd add a clear example because I was reminded of it. When I tell people that return free filing taxes could really simplify taxes for people at first agree and then start pointing out a bunch of edge cases. So I argue that if we could just get the 15 million Americans who use the 1040 EZ then that's a big step in the right direction. It never goes well and it is never considered that just autofilling everything you normally put in by hand significantly reduces time regardless of how you do your taxes. Maybe I'm just bad at making cases, maybe people are hard of hearing, maybe both. (this is not the argument I make in full, obviously)
Your argument against a non-existent $150,000 yearly tax is that a single person would need to pay that if they owned a property two thirds the size of the Vatican, on the ocean, 45 minutes from the biggest city centre in a 2000km radius.

No wait, that wasn't the argument here, your argument is that they wouldn't want to accumulate even more wealth.

> Not have the incentive to stop once you have gotten a $20m home

Minor point, that's not a home, that's two homes in the same listing. I'd argue that accumulating property wealth beyond a house seems like it ought to be disincentivized at least a little bit, but evidently you're under the impression that either poor people don't deserve the opportunity or that land is in infinite supply.
The moon's far side could offer a deep view of the universe (2022)
Yeah. It would be nice to stare off into infinity as you're working. I don't think a computer needs to be involved, though, you need glasses that have an autofocus system. That's what progressive bifocals try to be; when you look at something at the bottom of your vision, it's expected that it's close, so you're looking through a lens that compensates for your eye's inability to focus on something that close. It's imperfect, though; computers are close but they often fill your whole field of vision. That's the idea behind "computer glasses", though I personally could never get used to them because I'm not always looking at computer screens from the exact same distance. That's why you'd want something to measure the distance and adjust the focus, like your camera does.

I think it's too complicated and what people do to work around it is just make the font gigantic or whatever. I have bifocals but honestly have enough control over focus to not really get tired looking at my computer screen through my distance prescription. But if I'm tired it does get harder, and I just lean back a little bit and look through my close-up prescription. (I have progressives so infinite adjustment between the two. It is nice when you get it perfect but only a tiny area of your vision is in perfect focus.)

Also something that annoys me is that glasses lenses are super primitive compared to camera lenses. I have a pretty heavy prescription and always notice the chromatic aberration. Camera lenses use multiple elements to minimize this problem.

I'd spend $3600 on a pair of glasses that could focus the entire field of view on one plane automatically. Prescription changes would just be firmware updates, so you wouldn't even be buying them every year. But, I don't think the tech is anywhere close to that yet. The vision pro isn't suitable, it's low resolution and has low battery life. You need 16+ hour battery life for glasses. But if someone invented my thing I'd buy it.
Two things. First, an Android browser that's as fast as Chrome (a reskin) with a built-in ad-blocker. Sure you can install uBlock Origin on Firefox for Android but it's noticeably slower than Chrome. Second, a continuation of the old Firefox spirit as a privacy focused browser. Firefox has since lost that spirit and has been chasing after Chrome since at least 57. The shitcoins are a passing fad. Just turn them off.
It's common surrounding larger cities in many countries. The trains from about 23.00 to about 01.00 in Copenhagen are busy with people going home to the suburbs and beyond.

Picking some random village I've never been to, from Copenhagen to Uggeløse (population around 2000) takes 65 minutes, the last connection to the bus requires leaving Copenhagen at 23:16.

Picking some other village that's on a railway line (Veksø, population 1800), the trains run all night every 30 minutes on Friday and Saturday nights. On other days the last train is at 00:30-ish.

The original claim was from a city to a town, which is easier than either of these examples.

FxOS failed commercially because it tried to be a "me too" product, with the same distribution strategy as Android that relies a lot on carriers. For that to work you need to get support from key apps in the carriers markets, and FxOS never managed to get Whatsapp on board.

KaiOS got Whatsapp support thanks to shipping in India with a single carrier (Jio) that has a very large user base. Deployment in the rest of the world has been a struggle and the company is not in great shape.

All that to say that Mozilla could have kept the lights on for a couple more years and get access to large markets. Hard to predict what would have happened but we certainly would have more diversity in the OS space.

Show HN: Plan a square-unit garden in an offline PWA with your data all yours
I was stuck inside a few weeks ago because of a big freeze we got here, and all I could do was dream about being outside!

I've been gardening for a few years now, and I've done lots of paper and spreadsheet planning of my gardens, but I found I kept stumbling keeping everything accurate and in order.

So, while I was stuck inside freezing, I decided to throw together a little app that would help me track what I want to plant, when I need to sow, and what seeds and plants I still need to buy. I also used it as an excuse to play more with PWAs and IndexedDB, and the result is Squardener!

It has made my garden planning this year so much easier and I want to share it.

All data is stored locally in IndexedDB and local storage, there's no backend, it's a PWA you can install, and you can export and import your garden data anytime you want.

I hope it helps someone plan and build a garden - come play outside in the sun and dirt with me!

Garageband was never the top choice for pros, but it was highly accessible at that time. Hours of fun for an adolescent. Now, it's weird and tough to use, presumably due to a fruitless bid to target the pros.

Apple has basically given up on the low end of the pro market with their product choices and it's extremely disappointing. At a 5000 ft. view, their product line was basically gentrified as monied consumers pushed out artists and creators.

Man that video of the lava from the airplane looks gorgeous. The Reykjanes Peninsula has the best eruptions! Picturesque but without the threat of pyroclastic flows killing everything in sight.

Are there volcano eruption chasers in Iceland like there are tornado chasers in the US? Seems like it would be a rather intermittent but exciting hobby since it's easier to get quite a bit closer.

The Icelandic Civil Defense is also awesome. They have some guidelines for gas heater use during eruptions that includes: Remember other heating options, such as cuddling under blankets, wearing the wool socks gifted to us at Christmas, and closing curtains over windows.
Not OP but we have the same regulation in Italy, coupled with one that forbids sharing opinion polls some days before the elections.
