To me, that ad underscores the point somewhat. Apple is marketing these devices as something other than a computer. Something that makes a computer unnecessary.

The underlying implication being: “You don’t need a computer”, and “our ecosystem is so good that the new generation won’t even know what a computer is”.

As a tech and Linux nerd since the early 2000s, I can understand why other tech savvy people could interpret this as “this is no different than a computer”, but I don’t think this is the right framing, and I don’t think we’re the intended audience.

Their claim has always been that this ecosystem makes general purpose computers unnecessary for a wide array of use cases, because “there’s an app for that”.

From the perspective of a layperson, I think the message is: “Computers are for tech people (and/or outdated). This is for the rest of us”.

The term “general purpose” means something very different to the HN crowd than it does for the majority of Apple customers.

I want to reiterate that I’m not endorsing their position, just trying to point out that their marketing has been consistent in trying to differentiate the i*OS products. The difference between “you don’t need a computer” and “this is a general purpose computer” is subtle but important I think.

I also don’t think it’s a good direction for tech in general, even though I value some of the benefits of the locked down ecosystem. I do most of my productive work on a Linux system and think it’s critically important to continue having this option.

I’m just not trying to use an iPad for this purpose.

>Avoid absolutist language. It's not "the main problem", it's "a problem". (Unless, of course, you can defend the claim.)

I've started thinking this advice counterintuitively causes as many problems as it solves. I try to do it regularly (just had to stop myself now, unlike the author), but find that instead of the neutral, self-divorced report of discoveries academic style is designed to foster I just as easily end up with the overall structure still being my own opinion as drafted, but now much harder to read smoothly as it's clogged up by generic self-depreciating hedges and unjustly short summary references to other work I don't necessarily agree with anyway. It's also not how real science and study is actually done; Feynman famously did most of his progress on his work however he liked, and then only moved it to the formalisms of "academic research", so to speak, if he found most of what his hunch was looking for. I've been wondering whether it would be better to try out the other way and see if it can be made better instead of fighting it to find the right compromise of ingenuine humility. Perhaps write your own opinions on your sleeve, but use something like an asterisk to indicate a stylistic hedge you'd apply to something you only mostly know, or haven't completely reviewed to the same detail as the produced info that inspired you to the thesis, so the reader sees just where your head's at and makes up their own mind on whether it affected your conclusion too much, instead of having to guess between lines of alternatives or pull it out through teeth of qualifications. Plus whatever you seriously don't know a bit of and don't want to commit to will stand out all the more. Maybe pick out a less-used unicode punctuation for it, like the tombstone, or perhaps number them in the margins like mathematicians do with equations. As a bonus you could then attach an appendix as a numbered list that focuses as deep as you'd like on alternate possibilities and gaps in knowledge without drawing out the piece itself.

When I was learning music, my teacher insisted on giving just as much mental energy to the rests as to the notes, because even nominally the right melody loses its impact if it's allowed to sloppily over and underrun its rhythm, and doubly so for the harmony. A lot of "informational" style I try to read or write feels like just a long, flat run through the notes and chords its author needs out of an avoidance of expected criticism for expressing anything not buried under neutralizing boilerplate as uninformed, arrogant, or unsupported, but the reality is that sometimes that's how the sausage is made, and we do pupils and fellows trying to understand our work no favors when we put a curtain between them and the man at the machine.
Arch just updated KDE to version 6 and has enabled Wayland by default. For some reason, mouse handling is just terrible. At first it is sluggish and imprecise, and then it jumps all over the place. Half an hour of fiddling with the settings couldn't get it to where it actually felt right again, so I went back to Xorg. It certainly seems like there is still work to be done on Wayland.
I think maybe we have some difference in how we're talking about things.

Concepts like the spectrum of the hydrogen atom or interference phenomena aren't particularly difficult to understand conceptually: the Hamiltonian has some eigenvectors and eigenvalues, you use the Dirac equation and work them out. The "matter waves" interfere essentially in the same way that waves on the surface of a pond do.

The things that you're calling conceptual understanding I guess must be different to this: maybe something like detailed calculations of the structure of the spectrum?
I do remember Earth exceptionalism being pervasive, from the first satellite views of Mars up till maybe Galileo's pictures of Europa.

Even today still get that feeling when it comes to the topic of liquid water, where people will point at the lack of meaningful atmospheres and declare places like Mars or any other body holding ices as too different to not be dry, when you just need the right ground temperature gradient and some trapped ice.
Personally, I don’t have a reason to move from bash. Bash, zsh, fish looks very similar to me. But they do have subtle differences that require learning. And I don’t see a point.
A university is often run by an administrative bureaucracy and the first rule of any bureaucracy is survival, followed by expansion, and accumulation of wealth. Combined with workplace protections against reducing employees through redundancy and you have a self perpetuating, bloated system.

Targeting G9a to develop Covid-19 and Long Covid treatments
Inhibiting the G9a protein could help stop the COVID-19 virus from hijacking our cells to replicate, offering a new way to treat COVID-19.

For Long COVID, targeting G9a might also help alleviate lingering symptoms by potentially reversing the virus's long-term impacts on our bodies.

Based on a recent dissertation:

https://www.cell.com/cell-chemical-biology/abstract/S2451-94...

A novel G9a inhibitor has been identified that has been seen helpful for Alzheimer's as well:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10690335/

> Thus, in contrast to existing AD therapies that only slow one symptom (e.g., cognitive decline) targeting AD-activated G9a by the brain-penetrant drug MS1262 showed multifaceted effects that relieve all AD symptoms with minimum side effect.

Not exactly no. None of the core SQLite devs seem to have touched this.

They do however claim that Dr Hipp is an investor which if true certainly does lend a lot of credibility.
On the night side, you could get a decent idea of your absolute position by observing the stars, just like how you can do this on Earth if you have a good clock. On a tidally locked planet, your clock doesn’t need to be very good.

I imagine that a similar if somewhat more complex trick works on the day side if there’s a visible moon.
If you are in a completely self-defined world, then yes you can trust the compiler. But I once built a react component which was called from library code and it simply did not adhere to the method signature (this was for a material UI table extension).

As soon as you have third party code calling your methods all bets are off. It could be JS calling your methods, or there simply is a hidden cast somewhere.

This is the moment that you realize that type annotations really are just a compile-time fiction, much like Python. At least in my definition, this is weak typing as the variable is physically capable of changing to any type at runtime, despite its type annotations.

Super nice project! I also spent the last month writing a WASM interpreter ( https://github.com/rrampage/wart ) using Java 21. I started it as an excuse to try out the pattern matching in switch / sealed classes in Java. It kind of snowballed in scope and can now run Doom and Waforth ( https://github.com/remko/waforth )! Have not yet tried compiling it to WASM and running it as a meta-circular interpreter.
Sure, you can reorder floating point operations and assume no aliasing. Now you can vectorize and avoid redundant memory access.

But it's a problem of the language really.

Alias analysis in Fortran is much easier than in C / C++.

Also I'm reasonably sure that Rust's borrow checker could be used for alias analysis and improve performance without making unsafe assumptions, no clue if that is actually done.

For reordering of floating point numbers, there should just be clear demarcations in code where it's safe. It's ridiculous that `-ffast-math` works on the level of the command line. But I think that ship has sailed, cause although clang has supports pragma's, it's not a standard:

#pragma clang fp exceptions(strict)
One little magazine that I discovered in its later years was Micro Cornucopia. Its articles were quirky dives into (what I thought at the time were) the coolest micro computer technical topics.

This just boggles my mind. First time I heard about this was when I saw the headline on Fox News, and I initially thought it was just an hyperbole. But now I see it repeated in more reputable media orgs and I still can't understand how this is happening.

The NYPD has one of the largest police budgets in the world, they have their own intelligence division and even overseas offices, and yet they seem unable to be able to station officers on the subway and now the national guard needs to step up. How did it come to this?

> I just figured it'd be nice to have a single relatively short place to address the most common myths about tidal-locked planets, and particularly their climate, for easy reference.

Well that's nice and all, but this sort of explanation is hard to take! How can one verify that whatever-it-is about tidally locked planets, is not also a myth?

Sure, these might be better set of guesses and assumptions, but it still cannot debunk myths.

To see what I mean, I can debunk the idea that the gods live on top of Mount Olympus by climbing the mountain and checking. I can't check any of these potentially valid deductions. In fact, he could make the exact opposite points, and I would have no idea. None of us would.
The tropics have more life and a more stable climate than the temperate regions. They also are warmer, so that’s not an argument that a stable climate is more amenable to life, but at least a hint it isn’t an overriding factor. I also realize that may not say much about the origin of complex life. Just trying to think of examples.
There is the concept of a 'US National' set of regulations too.

The thing is that attribution as the term is normally used is insufficient. As Cory notes, all the CC licenses, except for CC0, actually require:

Name the creator (either as identified on the work, or as noted in instructions to downstream users)

Provide a URL for the work (either as identified on the work, or as noted in instructions to downstream users)

Name the license

Provide a URL for the license

Note whether the work has been modified

So a very normal photo credit like "CC photo by John Smith" is actually not appropriate Creative Commons attribution.

One of my last employers did this and I begged them to just let a couple people work a five day schedule that included Saturday and or Sunday (I wanted to be one of those people) so we could deploy any day, trouble shoot any day, but they were against it. I think people need two (actually at least three, but that's a different discussion) days off every week, but I also don’t think people need to work identical schedules. Put another way: you must give the castle guards a break from staving off attacks but you must not give them all the same break.

Show HN: Open-source tool for running any ComfyUI workflow with ZERO setup
Hey HN!

So for the past few weeks, i’ve been building this open-source tool called the ComfyUI Launcher: https://github.com/ComfyWorkflows/ComfyUI-Launcher

It runs locally and lets you import & run any workflow json file with ZERO setup:

- Automatically installs custom nodes, missing model files from Huggingface & CivitAI, etc.

- Workflows exported by this tool can be run by anyone with ZERO setup

- Work on multiple ComfyUI workflows at the same time

- Each workflow runs in its own isolated environment

- Prevents your workflows from suddenly breaking when updating a workflow’s custom nodes, ComfyUI, etc.

This tool also lets you export your workflows in a “launcher.json” file format, which lets anyone using the ComfyUI Launcher import your workflow w/ 100% reproducibility.

You can try it here: https://github.com/ComfyWorkflows/ComfyUI-Launcher

There's also a 30s demo video on Github showing how this works.

This is a work in progress, so would love any thoughts/feedback! :)

Feel free to also join our Discord server to keep up w/ updates: https://discord.gg/hwwbNRAq6E

PS: The workflow shown in the demo video on the repo was: https://comfyworkflows.com/workflows/4e4b4397-a55c-45f2-8afc...

There's economic reasons behind the cheap SoCs you see. Invariably it's when an SoC was made in bulk expecting some market that never materialized.

For instance the original Pi SoC was very clearly intended for some set top box OEM that didn't pick it up for some reason.

When that happens, after a while the chip manufacturer is willing to sell them for way below cost just to get anything back from their inventory that from their perspective looks like a complete loss.

So you get an industrious cottage industry that takes those to cheap to make sense chips, cost reduces the reference design, and ships them with the just barely building sdk from the chip manufacturer.

At the end of the day Qualcomm doesn't care about this market because they are pretty good about keeping their customers on the hook for their bulk orders. So they're focused on supporting current bulk customers where a $1k dev board is actually a really reasonable price.
Aah, ok, I edited my comment to just say that it was the best for a while, not still the best. Agree with you about Samsung's 5nm process.
> I've seen smart engineers with a C++ background get tripped up on and very confused working with TS,

The idea that someone is good at another language so they'll automatically be good at another is a common misconception. In fact, they're likely to be worse because they're less likely to spend time trying to learn things from the ground up and less likely to write idiomatic code.

It's especially bad with js/ts because of it's popularity (so lots of new programmers that complain about how NaN doesn't equal itself), and because it's the defacto web language so lots of people are forced to use it as a secondary language that don't want to spend time learning it.

> I'm concerned about the fairness of this decision to other team members who have been with us for over a year, contributing significantly to our project. Additionally, I feel somewhat sidelined, as my friend and the new member often reach consensus without involving me in the preliminary discussions.

Literally just say that to them. You said they're a close friend, so you should be able to start off with a frank and reasonable discussion about it without beating around the bush. If you somehow can't come to an understanding, then involve a lawyer.

Honestly if I were in your position, I'd be more worried that my close friend and co-founder is already planning to marry someone that they've only been in a relationship with for less than a month. But maybe I'm just ignorant of their culture.
And in some JavaScript engines (eg V8) bigint multiplication is asymptotically fast, unlike say the default CPython. It’s a very pleasant surprise if you happen to be a number theorist (say).

> The current UX around installing extensions "out-of-band" is poor (in both firefox and chrome), I wonder what it'd take to improve things.

The problem is that that experience isn't poor because of neglect, it's poor because you're intentionally not supposed to do that kind of thing unless you're developing and testing an add-on yourself.

(I don't know how Chrome arrived at that state, with Firefox the justification was that if the user can do that sort of thing [install random unsigned add-ons] easily, then so can ad-ware [browser toolbars and other spyware stuff].)
