The ideas about modality and chording are nicely laid out, but not unique to "text editing". They apply to any use of the keyboard for editing any kind of data.

We see this in Ardour (a DAW (audio workstation)) a lot. Quite a few other DAWs differentiate between adding a new (MIDI) note and editing an existing (MIDI) note with a modifier ("chording"). In Ardour we use modality - no modifiers.

We consider the modal model better if you're going to do multiple versions of the same sort of operation, which we believe (but do not have hard data) is the most common case.
I'd like to do something like that too, if/when I ever get to replacing the DDL. In Postgres you could create custom types for tagged unions, but it might be better to translate table-level unions to a set of constraints, for performance and flexibility (you can't create referential integrity constraints using expressions IIRC).
> a substantial minority of people are naturally inclined towards violence.

What is that based on? Many other models could explain violence, and that particular explanation is used to justify all sorts of brutality and oppression (ironically, people seek to use those things against another person who they claim is 'naturally violent').

Certainly protest is a result of political oppression, as it has long been recognized in many cultures and especially in democracy. The idea that it is just a tendancy toward violence is just rhetoric to justify more oppression and disregard the protestor's interests.
Do they make money from LLM service or by selling hardware? Homepage is confusing without any reference to other products.
I do not have an Xbox to try but i do not see how these two are mutually exclusive. If you try to use an app to print you wont be able to do that because there are no printers. If you try to add a printer using the Windows API for adding printers (which AFAICT from the article is done via a GUI that Windows itself provides) then the Xbox OS could show an error message that Xbox does not have printer support and once you close it, have the API call the application made tell the application that the user cancelled the request (which is something, according to article, it already does - though i don't have an Xbox to tell if it displays an error message or silently returns the cancel code).

Xbox cannot tell you that there is no printer support before you try to do something related to printing because it doesn't know you may want that. An application that was made for Windows also can't do that because on Windows you can add printers (even fake ones that print to PDFs, no hardware needed).
They’re probably in the business of being the hardware provider. Best thing would be if Microsoft buys a lot of their chips and that way chatgpt is actually sped up. It’s basically model independent
The issue with iOS is that the system will kill the VPN process if it uses more than a tiny amount of RAM (including buffers to send data over the connection). You also have to be sure to do keep-alive heartbeats or it will be killed for being idle. VPNs on Android work reliably, I haven't noticed any issue.

The interesting thing to me about some of the pro- comments being made here is their bizarre stridency. Here's another from downthread:

I have some definite opinions about pedagogy but the thought of educators all working precisely the same way sounds like something out of The Twilight Zone or Orwell or something.
I think that they are saying that the output space, i.e. the list of all possible hashes, is too small. Thus, IDs 1234 and 5678 lead to the same hash.

The collision is not in the insertion into the hash map but rather in the look up.

Definitely. There is very little talk/discussion about these databases apart from evangelist articles. That's another reason for me to be hesitant to migrate. Still have a ping/alert whenever someone mentions these databases on HN.
That being said, I agree with the sentiment of no phone in the sense that they don’t truly add much from a quality of life perspective when you are away from a computer. They just try their best to distract the hell out of you.
Its a good idea in theory, but visibility is poor below 1000m or so, cameras are useless without light, and flood lights have limited range.
That's the other odd part. The comment was on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39430095 , it was of course another political comment on a non-poltical post, so it got flagged or disappeared as usual. How does that happen?
All of that is a known entity before buying an iPhone though. You don't have a right to change the terms you agreed to before/at purchase.

I'd rather not be limited to Apple's app store, but if I buy an iPhone, I'm accepting its involvement in the purchase. I don't get to go back and say "oh yeah, and I demand that you remove these conditions."

Android allows for alternative app stores, yet they're barely worth mentioning. That's a tell that the market doesn't care whether a smartphone ties users to a single app vendor or not.

Instead of patching, you can also just use PoE cameras that are designed for this use case (local RTSP) and are only a little more expensive than Wyze.

Okay. How about this: Someone posts to HN about an amazing new battery technology, which they demo by showing an average-sized smartphone watching TikTok endlessly scroll for over 500 hours on a single charge.

Then someone comments that TikTok is a garbage fire and a horrible corrupting influence, yadda yadda, all that stuff. They ask: what is the point of making phones last longer just to watch TikTok? They say this improved efficiency in battery tech is just putting lipstick on a pig.

That's you in this thread. That's the kind of irrelevant non-contribution you are making here.
I've always thought the idea of planet nine being a primordial black hole was kinda cool, but AFAIK we have no evidence to suggest this.

Unless I'm mistaken if PBHs do exist then one with 2-4 Earth masses is within the plausible range. It'd be about the size of a billiard ball. The existence of lots and lots of PBHs of various sizes is one dark matter candidate.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primordial_black_hole

If there were such a thing out there we could send a probe to it. I can't imagine what kinds of interesting physics we could do if we could directly examine a black hole.

It'd be neat if it were actually useful in the far future too, like as a power source to generate and beam energy to interstellar spacecraft. There's even concepts like this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_starship

A PBH of that mass would not be useful for this but perhaps there'd be a way to leverage the extreme conditions created near the event horizon to generate smaller ones that evaporate quickly... like the extreme physics analog of sourdough starter.

I’ve rescued two very large Python projects bordering on disaster, and have improved many more. In both cases the main problems were architecture-related, they were written at the wrong level of abstraction, then in the wrong language. Those need to be fixed first if you value your time. Typing errors were not a top-ten concern:

I.e. there are bugs, there are always bugs. But are they important bugs? Is the question.
When faced with a house of cards, do you fix the nails, or start with a new foundation?

Also you don’t write tests just for types. You write tests to validate functionality as you would anyway. And they will find type errors on failure.

Black/white adolescent appeals to the one-true-way are not compelling and why you did not convince, then or now. Typing is simply another useful tool in the toolbox, and I never said it should be avoided—my statements were qualified.

Before I was a programmer, I was a marine biologist and also worked as a fish farmer.

By virtually all metrics, intensive land-based animal farming is much harder on the environment. Also, in terms of animal welfare, its super sketchy even with animals labeled organic.

The misinformation around fish farming is absurd. I think people want to believe in the myth that commercial fishing is a couple guys in a wooden boat; when its actually a floating factory discarding up to half or more of what it kills.

There are many aquatic things I won't eat but mostly it is of the "wild fish" variety (overfishing, pollution, mercury, bycatch). I worked a single season as a fisheries observer in Alaska. The destruction was maddening.

I put wild fish in quotes because many times they are raised in a hatcheries then released into the wild. Which has ruined the gene pool of salmon in places that do this.

After a few years raising chickens at my home farm, I became pescatarian. I drew an arbitrary line at intelligence where I wouldn't eat anything as smart or smarter than a chicken.

Anyhow, avoiding farmed fish while eating land meat is really misinformed. I think the meat industry and commercial fishing industries have managed to completely misinform the American public (and a few well-meaning but misleading documentaries on the subject).

America doesn't not farm very many aquatic things besides oysters, trout and catfish. Which are all very very green industries. I like to bring these ones up in conversations about this topic.
Huh! Had no idea open source model were ahead of OpenAI already on pricing - will have to look into using these for my use cases.
> This doesn't work in C because the function is not necessarily defined in the same translation unit.

It does work in C ― that's what the include files are for (among other things), after all. So it's possible to be able to forward-declare functions outside the translation unit only (extern-declare?), those inside the translation units don't need to even if the compiler works in a single pass. And those external declaration could still be introduced at the very end of the translation unit and still would count. I dunno, seems like a pretty reasonable idea.
In addition to what sibling comments already mentioned, also be aware that Apple was one of founding companies of Advanced RISC Machines Ltd (the company that became Arm Holdings plc), together Acorn Computers (which was the original A in ARM) and VLSI Technology.

This was back in 1990.

Before they switched to Intel x86, they were also involved in PowerPC, together with IBM and Motorola.

So they are not coming from nowhere by any means.
Respect. Just know that it’s so much easier for a script kiddie looking for a quick buck to hack you. Don’t expect anything on their to be secure.
Trees also generate oxygen, which can be an issue in cities since (BBC Science Focus):

> "A human breathes about 9.5 tonnes of air in a year, but oxygen only makes up about 23 per cent of that air, by mass, and we only extract a little over a third of the oxygen from each breath. That works out to a total of about 740kg of oxygen per year. Which is, very roughly, seven or eight trees’ worth."

You might think the problem would be minimal due to atmospheric circulation, but like with smog accumulation, some weather patterns can lead to problems:

I dont think that is true at all. The data is pretty clear that lifespan is significantly increasing.

I guess that you can also rent dedidacted servers or VPS and it will cut the bill by a lot, even on GCP or AWS, rent VMs with committed usage are not that expensive! It could also help with security and compliance.

> even getting rid of the objectively superior lightning for USB-C (consumers get inferior features) and they still managed to fine them.

If it was objectively superior then Apple should have standardized it with USB-IF. They didn't, and rightfully every single OEM (and some world governments) told them to pound sand. Lighting was inferior to USB on-paper, you don't even need to compare the connectors to understand why Lightning was literally outlawed some places.

It is a shame that Apple behaved that way, but they chose to make Lightning a proprietary serial connector. You seem very desperate to blame Europe but methinks you're frustrated for the wrong reasons.

You're cherry-picking. It seems to me that the reactionary anti-liberalism now goes to the extent of defending the middle ages because the Enlightenment is a political threat.

I first started listening to mp3s in the last 90s, didn't fully transition away from listening on CD until 2012, last bought some CDs just a couple months ago, and up until 4 or 5 years ago the vast majority of my music purchases were on CD.

I tell you this to emphasize that my views on digital music are the result of a long drawn-out process, which are: I've got no interest in looking back.
Labels did scum stuff like have sublabel go belly up (oops no royalties anymore), not paying royalties, not giving artists royalties when on VA album, and downright piracy, and enforcement of centralization via signing rights away to (equivalent of) RIAA. These are just examples from memory talking to artists.
I looked into adding that (briefly, as a stretch goal) - I may be wrong, but that info doesn’t seem to show up in the product info very often. I could try including it when available, though. I’ll take another crack at it.
Difficulty with Elixir is logarithmic, with Python is exponential. As the product accretes features, Python/JS tends to require much more expertise to deal with all the corner cases. Elixir keeps it long term maintainable. If you wanna explode and sell out, go for the early ease. If you plan on owning it forever, I'd say the upfront investment is more than worth it.
> At that point, Cloanto started worrying that people would buy Hyperion's AmigaOS 3.2 to boot emulators and they'd lose their market for selling legal 3.1 ROMs wrapped in Amiga Forever

This sort of glosses over the main point, which is that Amiga Inc., later Cloanto, repeatedly took Hyperion to court in an attempt to stop them from developing and selling updated Amiga software (and I believe hardware too, in some cases). I think this has been happening in some form or another for 20 years.

We live in a world where Apple—Apple!—released the source code for Apple Lisa OS, yet Amiga Kickstart ROMs are closed-source and cost money to download.

I'm sure Cloanto has done good work, but in any other retro community, this stuff would be open-source community projects.

Likewise, Hyperion could probably open-source AmigaOS 3.2, etc. without putting a dent in their revenue if they chose the correct open-source license. I don't know if they would, but the fact is that they can't even try, because they only have the right to release AmigaOS updates (which they also had to fight in court for years), and not to distribute source code.

I haven't been around for as long as many Amiga enthusiasts, so let me know if I got any details wrong here.

edit: See Gorilla1000kg's replies for some good information as well. I've met Mike, and he seems like a good guy and truly cares about Amiga. I don't know much about Hyperion, but they clearly do amazing work on AmigaOS. It just sucks that these beloved classic platforms are so intertwined with business interests.

For what it's worth, I haven't really seen any infighting about this in the Amiga community. We get excited when we hear about new releases. When there is news about some lawsuit over Amiga assets, the sentiment is just "We're tired of this bullshit".
It was discussed here on HN, that's how I know about it.

I found a few things when searched around but not sure which one was the one I recall.

The only argument I'm making, is that if 1,000,000 developers all want to train LLMs on video data, because they desperately need to beat Sora, or ChatGPT, or Stable Diffusion, then there's probably a lot rolling their own scraping software.

Probably rolling their own scraping software with inefficient methods. And then likely pseudo-DDOSing (mostly irritating) Google with constant scrape attempts.

I could fight forever against petabytes of constant downloads, or simply make an incredibly small, condensed, easy to download summary that minimizes my data bandwidth cost and reduces each download to bytes - kilobytes rather than 100's of MB.

At 1,250Kbps, 480p, (~Google rec), every user, streaming for an hour, is approximated at 550 MB / hr of data. If the situation gets real bad, and 50% is scrapers (like crawling has gotten to be 50% of the web), and maybe 50% of those can be reduced by a factor of 100, because all they want is the text, then maybe 150 MB can be reduced to 1.5 MB. Close to a 1/4 bandwidth removed.

There may also be a lot that effectively "are" search crawlers, and all they really want is a summary for categorization of videos and better search indexing. Except they download the video, because everybody's rolling their own solutions, and huge portions of StackOverflow and similar amount to "use this code, its invincible." And the people deploying them don't even know what they're doing because its all copy-pasta.

Admittedly, it runs into issues where they then simply download 100x many videos. However, video streams per second, API calls / time, # calls from IP address block / time that are reasonable, could mostly mitigate those issues.

I appreciate you see the irony in the issue, and their cultural opposition is partially what I'm pointing out. Constantly fighting against a deluge when you could just divert the river.

That's what I was trying to get at. It would be unfair to not give capitalism any of the credit for the advances that we have made (after all, people certainly blame it when things have stagnated), but it's probably also not fair to give it all of the credit. There were technological advances long before capitalism and many (most?) basic research takes place outside of capitalism in academia.
