I guess 7h * 12%? The 7h and 12% are different numbers though.

We believe that for folks like me in my previous life Dart can save about 7h/wk. For example I spent several hours/wk writing changelogs, which I mostly don't have to do any more.

Separately, our users have reported an average of 12% savings, but I don't have the net number.

Either way, it will vary a lot by user--different people are going to have more/less time saved depending on how much their existing workflows overlap with what Dart can do for them!
Is it possible to use the search functionality without the "AI smarts"? I can see a good site search service being a great addition to some websites I run, but I would absolutely not want to push an AI chatbot on my users.
Ah sorry, my bad. You are correct that you can fire off many random access operations in parallel and get good throughput that way.

The problem is that this is not possible when the next IO request depends on the result of a previous one, like in a database where you must first read the index to know the location of the row data itself.
I love this. Llamaindex has (had?) a discord bot that did something similar. I forgot who the exact provider was but it solved my problem. Sometimes small projects just doesn’t have the people power for support and features like this go a long way.

I joined Google+ when it first came out and the idea of circles was good.

The problem is Google+ is that it was trying to be a new Facebook without anybody on it.

Both are wrong. tcmb didn’t use ‚comma-apostrophe’ – they opened with , U+201A SINGLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK (not U+002C COMMA) and closed with ‘ U+2018 LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK (otherwise known as an open single quotation mark).

> So your issue is with the quality of the firmware on the devices and not the fact that it is a camera in a private place which is connected to the internet?

I'm just making a distinction between "connected to the internet" and "streaming private data to the cloud 24/7".

Most of us use a smartphone under the assumption that nobody else has access to it, and that it's not going to send all of our data to some cloud. If someone gains that kind of access to my device, I'll have bigger problems to worry about than someone listening to my conversations, like locking down bank accounts, investment accounts and changing dozens of passwords.

> Until recently, most Android phones only had a few years of security updates.

Tell me about it, I begrudgingly buy a new device when the old one runs out of security updates. I'm not a fan of Samsung or Pixel line (which now offer longer support) so I was planning to switch to an iPhone after my current Android device is made obsolete, but I changed my mind with Apple's latest EU meltdown.

I actually like it this way. Occasionally (not always, which is even more confusing), images from random Whatsapp conversations ends up in the Android equivalent of my camera roll, and it annoys me to no end.

My camera roll is for photos that I have taken. If I want to put something from someone else in there, that's a decision I will pro-actively make. Other apps shouldn't be doing that for me.

Strongly held belief that I think is backed up by academic consensus: we should not treat LLMs as stores of knowledge. As my mantra goes, “language models, not knowledge models”. So the future of search might involve LLMs at a very fundamental level (and I think it will!), but they’ll never be the central component. Humans will never ever ever invent a better knowledge system than a database / a piece of paper, I guarantee.

Life hack, maybe it will help someone out: Add a "before:YYYY" to the search to go back to a simpler time.

Eg, "before:2012 python talk"

As an experiment open two tabs and compare the results of "python talk" and "before:2012 python talk". The difference is staggering.

Even if all the other things sibling posters mentioned didn't exist, the simple fact that Whatsapp is owned by Meta and Signal is not... well, that'd be enough for me.
I wish the regular HNers who have a beef with Signal would make a webpage or something with their points, some eli5 and their sources. They fuck up every Signal threads and are vocal but even if they are right their mannerisms and holier-than-thou attitude and "don't you know that ?" mantras is really getting old.

For someone who values professionalism I'm uniquely qualified to tell you to sit your ass down and shut it. Let's back up here: the whole crux of you deciding to pick a fight with me was over me commenting about some people thinking their edge cases with Apple deserves special treatment. Guess what, no they don't, they're not special. The customer isn't always right. Neither is Apple in many cases, but they are the largest company in the world, so I think they've figured out customer service, UX, all those things, and if you go to the original post in this message, it was about some dude's edge case on canceling a subscription. Boo fuckin hoo.

Let me recap for you: you directly picked a fight with me after I defended myself from being directly called an "ass," a "terrible colleague," "a dick-face" and "I want the opportunity to tell you to go fuck yourself to your face" My defense solely focuses on professionalism, and you decide to wallow in the mud with the rest in some anonymous sanctimonious self-sucking bullshit circle. So don't engage in whataboutisms at this point with me. Only an obtuse anonymous troll can race to the bottom with a named person at THIS point... So yup, slap that tag on your forehead bud and own it.

The difference between me and you is that in the professional world, I have a track record of having hundreds of people who enjoy working with me, millions of customers who enjoy my products, and many many partners who have become millionaires. You've marched down to HR and won a fight. Congratulations.

I'll be here all night, and I ain't deleting shit. My comments stand, with my name attached right here on each of them. blantonl: Lindsay Blanton. You can't do that: you're too scared, too cowardly, and too afraid of what might come your way by writing checks with your name on them your ass can't cash. So, I guess in a sense, I am "strangely entitled" because I have the track record that you don't, and that allows me enough capital to let my comments stand. I can write those checks all day with my name on them. You? you're going to have to earn some capital. You might try by attaching your name to some worthwhile works for a start.

You'll also find that anyone that works with me knows I don't suffer fools. I will bend over backwards, but I won't bend over forwards. I can assure you that you are uniquely lucky in that you are anonymous, because I've figuratively punched more than one person in the mouth because they decided to get sanctimonious and preachy on how I should be expressing an opinion in a professional setting. I didn't start the attacks, others did, and you felt it was your duty to preach to me how I should conduct myself in response. Mike Tyson said it best, "everyone has a plan until they've been punched in the mouth."
So right on par with their Google search results. They no longer care about accuracy and only care about ad revenue.

That's fine, but I think it is a bit reckless to tell everybody that grocery shopping is useless and we might as well order from Uber Eats three times a day.

Which is basically what happens with everyone terribly afraid of managing VPS that these days it's only AWS, Azure and GCP. First the excuse is "it's too small to bother doing it myself", then it becomes "it's too large to run it ourselves".

Some can afford 3x daily Uber Eats, but we should stop discouraging home cooking. It is not that scary.

Microservices are an organizational technology. They allow small teams to work independently from other teams.

The most frequent problem that I see is that people design Microservices that are "small as possible" instead of "Small enough than a small team can own them". For example, I have seen teams of 5-7 developers owning 20 microservices which is crazy IMHO. I blame the pre-fix micro which is highly miss leading. Now, if you merge together these 20 tiny microservices doesn't make monolith. A monolith would be a service or application that is owned by multiple/many teams.

The other important aspect is that microservices should be loosely coupled and what I see is highly coupled microservices. How do you know you have highly coupled microservices? I have seen a few things.

- They share business logic and developers end up creating libraries with business logic which is very problematic.

- They share access to the tables.

- Changes in one often require changes in other microservices.

- Integration and unit tests are not enough. You need E2E tests, but these are hard to write and brittle.

If you plan to scale horizontally with a microservice strategy, you'll in a lot of pain.

As others said, microservices scale manpower, not performance. It only comes sometimes as a bonus.

If you want to know, study the market for new versions of the old Twitter.

Many are super close to the "new" Twitter, indeed some are nicer.

Which have been successful, with whom, why? And what are their prospects?

Oh and it's a good moment to take a refresher look at the foundational business model for these networks.

Facebook succeeded by giving users some stuff for "free," in exchange for agreement(?) to be subject to total surveillance.

And it turned out, also in exchange for being subject to sentiment steering. C.f.. Cambridge Analytica's collaboration with the GRU and Facebook: https://www.americanprogress.org/article/origins-russias-bro...

Given the catastrophic consequences, does the same devil's bargain succeed today? Are voters more educated or more skeptical? Are legal protections stronger? They are in the EU.

Or has enshittification so defiled the entire social space that users are as OP suggests "burned out"?

Gmail was invite-only to join and get an @gmail.com account, but once you had it you could interact with any email account user, and they could interact with you. GMail isn't a walled garden.

"I'm sure the terms of service-if I bothered to read them-gives them that permission. And of course it's no surprise that Microsoft and OpenAI (and, presumably, everyone else) are spying on our usage of AI, but this confirms it."

Not sure why anyone would think that terms that allow surveillance are not functionally equivalent to evidence of surveillance.

But it seems like this thinking is what lets people trust the aptly-named "privacy policies" used by so-called "tech" companies to make users more comfortable with surveillance.

If a so-called "tech" company makes statements in a "privacy policy", something like, "We do not do X", and there is no way to verify whether they do X or not,^1 what purpose does the privacy policy serve. If in fact someone acquires evidence that the company is doing X, it is already too late. X was not prevented.

Whereas, if a so-called "tech" company includes provisions in its terms of service that allow it to do X, then what functional difference does it make whether the company does X or not. They could do X at any time. Anyone who agrees to the terms has given them permission to do X.

In general, companies do not ask for the explicit right to do X in an agreement if there is zero possibility they will do X.

Why do these so-called "tech" companies need a separate document, a "privacy policy", to make users believe the company will not do X.

Why not include a prohibition against X in the terms of service.

To understand what the company does, read the terms of service. If the terms allow the company to do X, then assume the company does X. It is foolish to assume otherwise.

1. If there was a way to verify it, then the company would not need to make such assurances.

I think this is the tradeoff that Signal makes versus the messenger most similar to it, WhatsApp. Though of course everyone in a group chat must pick one or the other, so it's not much of a free choice. (My friend group in the bay area is entirely on Signal, for example, though I also have a WhatsApp account.)

Let's see now. Some things are prerequisites for moving to a new country:

Are your qualifications, if necessary for your business, recognised in your intended country?

Are you sufficiently fluent in the language of your new country to be allowed a long-term or residency visa?

Are you sufficiently fluent in the language of your new country to be able to carry on a commercial business in your new country?

Are you sufficiently fluent in the language of your new country to understand all the laws and regulations that pertain to your business?

Do you have sufficient health insurance, or sufficient money to cover health expenses?

Are you criminal-conviction-free enough to allow them to let you into your intended country.

Do you have, or are able to obtain, a bank account in your intended country?

Some of these will require a permanent residential address. Do you have one of those yet? Can you prove what that residential address is?

And those are just the things off the top of my head. There will be other requirements.
Actually, I think the demo page should be a different site: eg. tryAiChess.com; The user watches the demo, clicks the call-to-action, ie. "try 1-week free -- no CC required" --> it sends them to AiChess.com. Then you don't burden your subs with demo pages.

No, what's semantically nonsense is the idea that the dinosaurs were in any sense "wiped out" by the K-T mass extinction event.
