There are way more terrible ideas than good ones, and that means treating all of them equally is a one-way road to HN losing the one thing it has going: new ideas.

Feedback like root comment is important to keep pushing ideas forward, instead of a loop.
Yeah, its really weird to appeal to the noble intentions of a corporation.

They're both just engaged in business.

I can believe that Apple is acting incredibly badly in this case without needing to fluff up Epic Games at all.

Apple and Samsung could sue each other and do business with each other because the stakes were lower and they were more codependent.
Tough decisions for a tough context. Planetscale remains the best tool in my toolbox when I'm launching online systems. Hang in there guys. You're doing valuable work. Enabling developers to help the world is a great way to rise a tide for everyone.
It'd be pretty interesting to see that kind of data, but it looks like this product violates my policy on not buying hardware that requires a cell phone app to use, and my policy on keeping as much of my medical information as far away from my mobile device as possible. I'm not sure exactly who the app itself sells/leaks the data being collected to, but even having that kind of data on the device would make me uncomfortable.

A quick read of their privacy policy suggests that the mobile app is full of personalized ads and they use your data for "direct marketing" as well as "research". They offer your data to third parties for both "marketing" and "analytics" reasons. They'll send your data overseas whenever it suits them, even to places where your data will not have the same protections, and they'll keep the data they collect forever unless you submit a request for them to delete it and they are actually required to do so by law.

Since I'm only mildly curious to see what the numbers would look like, I'm fine with waiting until someone puts one on the market that saves its data to storage that can later be copied over to an offline PC.
Further, there's no requirement that a tampermonkey script be open-source. They usually are, but so are the regular extensions I choose to install.

I don't know about chrome, but Firefox also allows automatic updates to be disabled on a per-extension basis.

I'm a fan of userscripts but lets not pretend they're magically better.
I probably would have in their shoes, but that is one of many reasons I am not CEO. Bosses tell polite fictions that preserve relationships.
Why not windmill? It's open source, no? I'm only peripherally aware of it, so just curious what people who have dug in on it more think.
Even if this was true, it would not make them a legitimate target unless they were directly engaged in fighting. Journalists are even protected when engaging in explicit propaganda for example.

Congrats on the launch, looks great. How do you compete with the built-in Zoom AI companion Meeting Summary? It works very well, but it's not even about that. Even if your summary were twice as impressive, competing with a tool that's seamlessly integrated into users' workflow by default presents a formidable obstacle.
War is nasty, it brings out the worst in people. Look at this, listen to their laughter while conducting their "work":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfvFpT-iypw (2007)

"The video shows Reuters journalist Namir Noor-Eldeen, driver Saeed Chmagh, and several others as the Apache shoots and kills them in a public square in Eastern Baghdad after they are apparently assumed to be insurgents. After the initial shooting, an unarmed group of adults and children in a minivan arrives on the scene and attempts to transport the wounded. They are fired upon as well. The official statement on this incident initially listed all adults as insurgents and claimed the US military did not know how the deaths ocurred."

(We may not have such detailed coverage for Gaza that we have for Baghdad, which is of course also caused by the lack of journalists, since who is dead can no longer report.)
For Firefox extensions, Mozilla has a "recommended extensions program" [0] which involves "rigorous technical review by staff security experts" before extensions are included, but it's not clear from their support article if every update is reviewed before it's published.

If they do review every update, that would this problem at least for the more popular extensions, although I wonder how much delay it introduces when an extension needs an urgent security update.

Does anyone else get bothered by how this seemingly results in code that won't compile?

Instead of this:

@ai()
def describe(animals: list[str]) -> str:
"""
Given a list of animals, use one word that'd describe them all.
"""

it would seem a lot more intuitive to do this:

def describe(animals: list[str]) -> str:
return ai("""Given a list of animals, use one word that'd describe them all.""", animals)
Making Make a Readme
Exactly! It's very much garbage-in-garbage-out.

One surprising (to me at least) benefit of hooking up an LLM to your docs is that it is actually a really useful way to find gaps in your docs. For example, when an LLM cannot answer a user question, there's a good chance it's because the answer is not documented anywhere.
Not only anti-competitive but also treacherous. They exist to protect corporations from us, the users of the computers.
Nice idea! How does this actually work? I'm guessing it's wrapping a custom loader + docker + the image into an executable binary - or something like that?
They should just comply to be honest because it won't actually change things. Barely anyone in the EU is going to use an alternative app store, nor is anyone but a few select hackers going to sideload apps.

Lots of brands of Android phones come shipped with alternative app stores, but those places are wastelands.

The main issue is that you can't develop an iOS binary without an Apple developer account.
They should just allow PG&E to merge with Comcast. All these problems would be solved by the cpuc. Why don’t the political partisans want easy answers like that?
Don't know any particulars but the real problem here is the misaligned incentives that come from the rather incestuous relationship between founders, investors, and their friends in most companies steroidally pumped-up by VCs. What about the customers and what they want? VCs typically over-rotate on founders they talk to and obsession with comparable companies. Reading between the lines here the real story of a fire sale to Airtable (in some trouble of its own) might have to do with burnout but also machinations with another portfolio company from a lead investor.
That is not feasible at a cost any current nation state could afford. Due to the inverse square law, the power output requirements to achieve any noticeable jamming from geostationary orbit would be enormous. There have been limited tests of fission reactors in space but they are too complex to operate reliably unattended for long. So, satellites are going to limited to solar or RTG power.
Totally different war structure.
> It's also in danger of becoming totally obsolete with further LLM advances (Claude 3 already really good at needle in the haystack tasks)

Maybe, but for every haystack that an LLM can search, RAG could search an even larger one. I don't think RAG is a killer app but I think tools that help LLMs find the right context will continue to be useful.

> Doubling down on domain knowledge

I'm a dev, but this is my main strategy right now. I am digging deep into my corner of fintech and hoping that will stave off some of the disruption I see coming for tech. Personally, I don't see why an AI couldn't also become a domain expert in my niche, but it should buy me some time and potentially align me with some powerful stakeholders (portfolio managers just need to convince the big money that a human touch is good and I will still be business).
Practically speaking, we have the choices that one monopoly or another offers us, and only so long as those choices are convenient for them.

I do avoid corporate overreach where it's practical (I have a dumb TV/vehicle/appliances/etc), but there will come a day when it's impossible to participate in society without giving in.
I think with Samsung, Apple had little choice. If you need to buy over 200 million high res mobile screens per year you have very few choices. Exact numbers on Samsung’s end aren’t readily available, but semiconductor components are by far their biggest segment and Apple is probably their only significant external customer.

I am absolutely sure Apple would love to cut Samsung off at the knees, but not if they do it to themselves at the same time. Samsung poses a much greater threat to Apple than all the third party app stores that could be dreamed up.

It’s a really interesting mutually assured destruction situation.

Epic and Apple, on the other hand, can both be fine without each other, so I wouldn’t expect them to work through the animosity
Next tell us that we're all wrong and anybody can write and release an app for iOS because the web
My wife already buys a Libre Freestyle over the counter here in the UK... are we talking the same thing? Why are (or were) they prescription only in the US..?
My girlfriend uses the Libre 3 and I was wondering how it worked with just that plastic filament. She doesn't feel it at all when I apply it. We found that if she washes the area with soap and then just relaxes her arm and lets it hang freely, I apply it to the back upper arm, it just stays on and doesn't get in the way.
By that definition every app developer is a competitor.

And Apple is basically a trillion dollar company. Tens of millions in lost revenue from Epic isn’t going to cause them to lose any sleep at night.

Before I got cancer, I had one through Levels, and it was informative. Dessert is much worse than I'd thought. Rice, too, including brown rice. I remember eating some biryani and a small bit of naan at an Indian restaurant and thinking that I'd been pretty healthy, only to see a spike of like 80.
You can see videos with the pattern of "civilians" grabbing an RPG, firing it, and dropping it. One minute they're civilians, the next 2 they're not, then they're civilians again. They don't have rifles when they're doing this.
They don't really go away, because if you need read-only replicas with PostgreSQL, there is a good chance that you will also need read-only replicas with Redis.

Similarly to Postgres, Redis replication is also async, which means that replicas can be out-of-sync for a brief period of time.

What’s disheartening is how ingrained car prioritization has become in the U.S. Our communities are largely un walkable and consist of large underused concrete parking lots. Everything is spread out. It is abnormal to see kids playing in the streets now and most people seem to be O.K. with this. We’ve become a people who rarely go outside other than to drive from one building to another. And when we do go outside we end having to drive to a place where one can be in a location away from cars.
Indeed, his discussion seems to involve a confusing of a leaky network protocol and a leaky abstraction. Perhaps he wanted to meta-illustrate his concept by having his discussion itself be leaky.
Got busy yesterday, but I see no one pointed out they already replaced AOSP on the Echo Show: https://9to5google.com/2023/11/14/amazon-android-echo-show-r... -- and it no longer supports Netflix.
Doctors make mistakes. Procedures carry inherent risks, such as infection, allergies, blood clots, etc. Even driving to the doctor to discuss your blood glucose carries a risk of car accident. All of these are low probability events, but non-zero.
It's almost as if you wish there was some kind of onerous "marketplace" where participation had rules and there was some kind of enforcement taking place, and organizations that break the rules could, no matter how popular or well known, be banned if they repeatedly violate the rules of the marketplace, or work to subvert the marketplace's function.
Well maybe people believe that Genocide = Bad and the rest is just logic
They should totally allow users to jailbreak/root their device. This is what people were expecting, not Apple-authorized alternative stores.

They already did it in China.
> If the SAT is session-based, each session needs to be large enough that a single question can't tank the whole thing

I think each session is either half or a third of the test, for that subject. There could actually be more than two versions of the later session, to ensure that a student who makes a mistake or two isn't prevented from getting a relatively high score.
Here's an excerpt from YouTubes Javascript. Do you think this looks maintainable?

Z3 = function(a) { a = g.fb(a); delete X3[a]; g.md(X3) && Y3 && Y3.stop() },

...or maybe the build-output isn't a great indicator for maintainability. If you write your html directly like you posted above, it won't be maintainable regardless of how you structure your css.
A few notes:

# your pitch above targets the wrong audience. People on a maker schedule need to eliminate meetings, not have better transcripts. People on a manager schedule are the ones that need help, and "meetings suck" isn't talking to them.

# The places that will be really interested are places with lots of meetings. I.e. mid-to-large enterprise. Neither your pricing nor your marketing targets them.

# way too verbatim. Most meetings don't require that level of detail.

# You might want to link notes into the transcript/video for the parts where people want more detail.

He was always willing to use any true fact that served his goal.

A rational position is different from a rationalization, even though they both involve making a rational statement along the way.
Also just confirmed you can enter a 'Select text' mode and manually copy text from the transcript (for easy summarization elsewhere). This is huge.

> Is a brand new battery really the minimum acceptable standard for a refurb?

Of course not, it's a refurb, but that's the point. You know it's a refurb and you know it's not going to last as long as a new one. That's why the refurb sells at a discount.

> If got a refurb and it had 6 months usage on the battery for example, I think I’d be fine with that.

That's the other issue though. You can see the number of charge cycles but not e.g. how many times it was left in a car in the summer sun.
A lot of civilians being killed by the enemy driving global condemnation.
Kerry was really amazing to work through issues with. He took my feedback like a champ and was able to get a number of issues addressed. I made it clear to him that I wasn't giving up on Flux, but that I had to do the responsible thing for my project and would check back in.

I transitioned my product to KiCAD in late December. I'll definitely check out how things are going when I start my next product later this year.

This something people say from 5000 miles from the conflict. "Rules" go out the window when you're the one holding the gun and being shot at. The people on the ground are just trying to survive.
Show HN: Tech jobs on the command line
Hi HN! I'm Nico and lately I've been struggling looking for jobs. I've gotten specially frustrated with having to spend hours reading through listings just to find good matches. So I built something to scratch my own itch:

Command Jobs, a terminal-based job finder and application tracker designed specifically for me, and maybe also software engineers

The app scrapes web listings, saves them, processes them with GPT[1], then based on your resume and job preferences, it gives you the best matches

This is my first open source project, and also my first public project using LLMs

I'm really excited to share this with the HN community and would love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and any features you'd like to see in the future. Please check it out and let me know what you think!

https://github.com/nicobrenner/commandjobs

I'm currently working on adding more sources for job listings, periodic scraping via cronjobs, and alerts for new matches

Looking forward to your questions, feedback and requests. Thank you

Rebuilding Redis on S3 Express
This was a really interesting and also fun read. Btw, I am absolutely loving the design of this website.
No, one side of a conflict cannot ignore the rules simply because the other side does.

It also seems an especially poor argument when one side is a nuclear-armed, highly modern military power and the other a lighltly armed militia.
Private automobiles do not belong in cities. They are guests there. But they've invited themselves in and taken over the place.

It's disturbing how common it is for people's default assumption to be that it's the pedestrian/person on the bike/scooter/what have you 's fault that they got hit by a car. Rarely the driver's fault, and NEVER the urban designer's fault.

Most crashes are fundamentally caused by designs that encourage them.

We know drivers speed, we know they text while driving, we know signs and even enforcement doesn't work etc etc. The ONLY conclusion is it's the built environment that must disallow crashes and people being hit by cars from being possible in the first place.

Narrower, more winding streets, cobblestone, speed humps and other calming surfaces, more vegetation, raised crosswalks, dedicated and physically segregated (by bollards, concrete blocks etc) spaces for pedestrians, people on bikes etc etc.
I just started with the G6 (still using it), and when I started I'd have that sometimes. Whatever they changed in the past year or so, it has gotten waaaaay better. (They would always replace them if they failed early, but was still a huge pain.) I'm exited to move to the G7 (mainly because of the shorter warmup time).

Also, pairing it with the Omnipod 5 is just next level. Closed loop. Never having to inject in public. No tubes.
That’s why it’s a Pyrrhic victory. They have access to the EU market which is much less profitable than the US market.
> On the publisher/songwriter side, streams are not "public performances" under the Copyright Act (in the US)

> Flash WAS crappy - it had so many vulnerabilities (and probably would have run terribly on the early iPhones)

Flash was the great battery killer. I hated it on laptops. I'd have hated it on phones if it were available. I even hated it on desktops because it made the fans turn up. Sometimes more than a proper 3d native game that used all the hardware you could throw at it.

Of course now we have Javascript and Unity games on the native side so we just changed what screws us up.
Eqtble (YC W21) is hiring a founding account executive
Thanks for all the sources. It will take me awhile to digest them all.
Yes, and if you look up the rules of war you will see that if you base your operations there the enemy is allowed to attack it. Besides a desire to not kill your civilian population that's another reason countries don't do that. But Hamas doesn't care for civilians.
By that same logic, fighting crime should not be bound by any laws. After all, criminals break the law by definition so it's perfectly ok to not respect the law when you're fighting them, right?
Wow, that article is wild. For those who are not aware, ketoacidosis is when your body metabolizes fat for energy in the absence of insulin. This produces byproducts (keytone bodies) that raise the pH of the blood.

So, having ketoacidosis feels like having your blood turn to acid. Death from ketoacidosis is an excruciating death. Fermenting from the inside out as your heart pumps your increasingly acidic blood through your entire body. You're technically starving, so you're hungry, but at the same time your body is trying to expel glucose at all costs, so everything you look at makes you sick.

Extended periods of high blood glucose and lack of insulin especially is up there as one of the most uncomfortable things I've ever experienced personally. Just unimaginable cruelty.
>the console manufacturer is actually adding significant value and taking a fair (or not so fair) margin in exchage.

I don't get this. What does a game console manufacturer do that Apple does not? Both provide hardware, system-level APIs, dev systems, developer support, customers. In the old days, game manufacturers didn't even provide a sales channel.

And when you say Apple provides nothing, my above list is pretty solid. In the old days, developer margins were way slimmer, with physical stores taking a 50% cut on top of the console licensing fees and physical manufacturing.
He's pretty critical of them in some areas. Mostly in developer-relations these days -- he doesn't like the anti-steering App Store rules, and Apple's general "we provided the successful platform; your apps contribute nothing to that" attitude.

>Origin competes with the App Store on iPhones.

I guess we'll see in the light of the DMA. Apple didn't allow EA to compete before, but who knows now.

But this seems to be missing the point. Epic Games wants to put their store on mobile, they had android on the roadmap for years. They very much want to compete.

As far as I can tell that applies to neither Heap nor Benchling which were the companies OP cites as successes.
