I gave the demo album a whirl on my Pixel 8 Pro in Chrome.

Two bugs stood out to me immediately:

1. Tapping on the i button does nothing.

2. After clicking around on some images, the back button was mostly useless until I pressed it like 10 times. I think it works for album navigation but stops working when you start photo navigation.
This could also be used by IFTTT.

// It's like telling me you have water running uphill on your property, I'm right to have questions, the most reasonable explanation is some sort of trickery is at play.

Skepticism is one thing but it's good not let it blind you to exceptionally good situations you can learn from.

Instead of your water running uphill analogy - I'd use marriage. Most marriage ends in divorce today, but if you see a couple that has been successfully married for decades, do you go "that must be bullshit" or do you go "I wonder what they are doing that others aren't doing" and seek to learn from that for your own life.

FWIW I am a Bridgewater alumni and can attest to the absolute ease of giving negative upward feedback - but you can also look at the outcomes. World's most successful hegefund across 4 decades, a highly desirable place to work, and a place where alumni "graduate" from to be massively successful elsewhere. Does that sound like "just another place where my cynical world view applies" or does it sound like "a place that has actually figured out something special and is able to stand out against the backdrop" - and thus is worthy to learn from?

Paine Field would seem to make the most sense but there really isn't much room to expand it. It can probably help in the short/medium term while a new, from scratch airport is built elsewhere.

That's inadequate. I don't want to drag my luggage around the front of the terminal looking for the shuttle bus to the station, wait for it to arrive, figure out paying for the bus (if it isn't free), then wait for a train.

The railway line should go underneath the airport terminal building. If that's not possible, a covered walkway is OK. Many significant European airports are like this.

If a connection on medium/long distance trains isn't realistic, at least there should be a metro (or whatever the 'best' transport the city has, e.g. light rail).

As someone testing concurrent/distributed software, Antithesis is potentially useful to me. It would be a substantial investment to build test infrastructure around it, with a very big opportunity cost if it wasn't successful, or disappeared after an acquisition. If this exotic technology is more than a toy, I wouldn't be so cavalier about its long term prospects.

Ask HN: How to find a list of live and upcoming Twitter spaces?
I ask this question because about a year or so ago, I distinctly remember finding a website with a simple UI, that listed in a tabular format all live and upcoming twitter spaces, that was filterable by topics and sortable by speakers and viewership. It was more of a "hacker" app, not main stream, regardless if anyone remembers that app, are there any alternatives?

(my google-fu gets nothing)
No see. Now you’re taking a third definition of faith and mangling it to shift the goal posts.

This is a constant thing we see among religion argument.

I do agree with you that “faith” is often defined in this way, but it is absolutely not the definition we are discussing.
One of the interesting ideas (that was proposed even back when SEA was adding it's third runway) is to run high-speed rail to Moses Lake Airport in Central Washington and just expand there.

That would have been an interesting idea before the railroad right-of-way was turned into a multi-use trail. There's another rail corridor that goes through Stampede Pass, but I don't know that it would be usable for "high-speed rail" (nor do I know that it even goes anywhere useful).

> Heathrow express train for years and years, and now also has the Elizabeth line; both very quick to get into C London.

Yes, my mistake. Haven't tried the Elizabeth line. These do help if you are travelling to / from London but getting to Heathrow from the South West remains challenging. My nearest station is Brockenhurst (which although small is on a London mainline). It's 80 miles by road, or by rail, a 2h 10 minute journey (with typically 2 to 4 changes, longest is 2 hrs 40 mins) that would cost £87 (!) travelling tomorrow off-peak. Not fun with suitcase.
If the airport wasn’t way outside town, many of those people wouldn’t need to park, as they could just take public transit or an Uber, and the same would also mean that many people traveling in won’t need to rent a car.
That's what I've been doing with one of my kids. They're designing the sprites and maps in the PICO-8 sprite editor and I'm taking the lead on showing them how to do the rest.

They've also enjoyed tweaking the sprites of existing PICO-8 games.
How suitable would this be for a text editor of sorts, and what latency would one expect? Using the demo it's difficult to gauge the latency by just eyeballing it.

What is a bit interesting to think about Denver was that rocky mountain arsenal closed in 1992 about the same time as stapleton in 1995. They ended up spending about 2 billion to clean up the rocky mountain arsenal to make it a wildlife refuge and meet all those standards, and spent five billion on Denver international airport. I'd imagine the environmental cleanup would have been substantially cheaper if they just devoted that swath of land (much nearer to downtown Denver actually) for the airport and devoted the swath of unpolluted land Denver airport presently sits on for a wildlife area, maybe one that won't end up being hemmed on all sides by Denver suburbia in time like the present rocky mountain arsenal. There is nothing but empty fields east of dia until you hit Omaha or Kansas City, so wild populations wouldn't be trapped in the preserve so much like they are in these nature preserves surrounded by urban areas and busy roads.
That would be fantastic. I'm almost salivating thinking about how appealing that would be in Manhattan (or DC, or even SF).

> But that makes your evidence of 100 error-free hours even less useful to make any predictions about stability!

You're still conflating probabilities an event occurs across a group with the probability an event happens to one specific individual in that group (in this case, me). I'm talking about the second thing, and it's very much not the same.

If I could rewind the universe and replay it many many times, some portion of those times I will either be very lucky or very unlucky, and get an initial testing result that badly mispredicts my personal future. But we know that most of the time, I won't.

I can actually prove that. Because of the simple assumptions we're making, we can directly compute the probabilities we are initially that wrong:

Odds we test 1000-hour bug for 1000 hours without tripping: 0.999^1000 = 36.7%
Odds we test 50-hour bug for 100 hours without tripping: 0.98^100 = 13.3%
Odds we test 10-hour bug for 100 hours without tripping: 0.9^100 = 0.002%

Under our spherical cow assumptions, my 100 hours is a very convincing demonstration the real bug rate is less than one per 10 hours.

Of course, in the real world, you might never hit the bug because you have to pat yourself on the head while singing Louie Louie and making three concurrent statx() calls on prime numbered CPUs with buffers off-by-one from 1GB alignment while Mars is in the fifth house to trigger it... it's just a model, after all.

Hi,

I very much share your sentiment and I saw a few comments mentioning PRQL so I thought it might be worth bringing up the following:

In order to make working with data at the terminal as easy and fun as possible, some time ago I created pq (prql-query) which leverages DuckDB, DataFusion and PRQL.

Unfortunately I am currently not in a position to maintain it so the repo is archived but if someone wanted to help out and collaborate we could change that.

It doesn't have much in the way of json functions out-of-the-box but in PRQL it's easy to wrap the DuckDB functions for that and with the new PRQL module system it will soon also become possible to share those. If you look through my HN comment history I did provide a JSON example before.

Anyway, you can take a look at the repo here: https://github.com/PRQL/prql-query

If interested, you can get in touch with me via Github or the PRQL Discord. I'm @snth on both.
> the world's music catalog to a mobile phone reliably with all-day battery life would be unthinkable 17 years ago

The reliability of the streaming is more dependent on the internet connection and the quality of Spotify's services. Apple made bluetooth reliable, but most music enthusiasts see Apple's killing of the audio jack (because innovation?... no wait it was greed) was a huge step back for audio quality. Samsung phones have better battery life while Sony has better audio hands down.

> the primary innovator making it happen was Apple

Based on what metric? Apple utilized patents from Nokia, Qualcomm, Sony, etc.

> there is no law saying companies can only monetize with up-front hardware costs.

I didn't say there was. Your assertion that "so Apple makes no money from them while providing all the R&D they use to play audio on the device for free", is what I was responding to. Consumers are paying for that R&D. You strawmanned my strawman... Apple's most popular phone is $999.

> Core Media APIs are simply the tip of the iceberg, yet are widely recognized as best in class by a lot

Best in class by what measure? It's no surprise that when HackerNews attempts to explain the ins and outs of the music industry they start and end with APIs... Have you heard of Beyonce? I promise you Apple's customers don't give a shit about what APIs are used to listen to their music. They'll listen to their music on car speakers. It's completely irrelevant to customers. And the people that really do care about audio quality want cables, which again, Apple killed. The audio latency article you referenced has absolutely no bearing on music playback, it pertains to real-time communications and games with user interaction. Listening to music isn't impacted by this metric, unless you think an extra 80ms after hitting play on Spotify is worth a 30% cut of Spotify's revenue. But somehow I suspect you'll attempt to justify that.

Yeah, I know about that part, but I could have sworn that Firefox on Ubuntu trusts the intersection of it's trust store and the OS trust store (with Firefoxs store having priority).

Were you using the package manager packages? I'm a little surprised if the distro packages don't configure Firefox to use the OS trust store. I would not be surprised if the binaries Firefox provides directly don't trust the OS package store. They probably shouldn't, given that the path to the OS trust store is configurable. I think Ubuntu and Fedora use slightly different paths.

Seems like a security nightmare to try guessing at what directory has the OS trust store. Better to leave it to the package maintainers to specifically customize it for their distro's patterns.
If the most expensive swords in the world are made in the exact same way as the least expensive swords in the word, that is interesting, and if they're made uniquely, that is also interesting. I didn't watch the video when youtube recommended it to me a few days ago because I figured I knew exactly what it was about from the title (hand made Japanese swords, something I've watched hours of docs on already), well, I just watched it... it's about hand made Japanese swords. Title seems fine, but I am genuinely curious what you would propose as an alternative.

I got fired. That sounds "bad" but part of working there is that you have to be sober about the reality and are willing to just engage with it as is.

The reality is that my department was people-rich and pretty mature, so when COVID hit and the company looked to lean up, it looked to my area to trim. Out of my peer group, I am pretty sure I was the least valuable (I am excellent at what I do but I was the lest excellent in my peer group there) so I was let go.

It was technically a lay-off but I am sober about the fact that I was chosen for the layoff because of my relative performance, which makes sense.

(FWIW I was given a very comfortable severance package, I would even say very generous and I suspect some of that generosity was because I had recently had a child. While BW is a place that is "brutal" in terms of high expectations and feedback, it absolutely took care of people in this way.)

> You can't ask a model "why did you answer that way" without it generating from whole cloth a plausible retroactive reason.

I've caught myself generating from whole cloth a plausible retroactive reason for some of my actions, which I later realized wasn't true at all. Does that mean I can't think either? Is there a way for an external observer to tell if someone is thinking or not, or is it something that, axiomatically, only humans can do, and nothing else?
Probably got killed alongside the free API. There's very little financial incentive to support Twitter at the prices they're demanding.
You could suggest we have a confidence interval for various things (e.g. 99% for gravity, 55% for whether x/y/z will happen or a president gets a second term), but in the capacity of Christianity the expression of faith demanded necessarily goes beyond mild conviction. The institutions (and what is conveyed in the Bible) don't want you to kinda sorta believe, they want you to believe by willfully eschewing all doubt. It's an action as much as a descriptor for belief.

I never felt as though I could "choose" to believe anything, or not easily at any rate. I could choose not to explore certain data and be satisfied with ignorance (though I try not to) but if something is incongruent with the facts as I understand them, then I can't "faith" my way to believing it.

They’re far right, but the opposite of libertarian. This is the heart of the Bible Belt. They’re all about telling people what to do and how to live their lives.

Actual right wing libertarianism looks a lot like New Hampshire. Their motto is “Live Free or Die”. They’re the only state without a seatbelt law - even though that means giving up on federal highway money.
That's fair; I guess the difference between what I'm defining as "faith" is that I am more than happy to be wrong.

If it turned out that a paper was using fudged data, or the results were measured poorly, or that the math being used to crunch something was incorrect, I would like to think that I would be willing to readjust my position on it and go where the latest research points. Einstein proved that Newton's "laws" of physics were really just really good approximations, and I think the vast majority of physicists were willing to adjust accordingly.

If it turned out tomorrow that Type Theory was shown to be unsound or something, I'm pretty sure I'd just concede that I was wrong to believe it, and then move onto whatever revised framework came along to replace it. I wouldn't just tune out all contrary perspectives and vehemently insist that "no type theory is always right and I have faith!!!"

So you're right; it's not equivalent to religious faith, because religious faith typically involves readjusting your perception of the world to fit with it, while "faith" in science involves changing the data to fit better with the world.
Nothing about big-O is specific to worst case. You can calculate a big-O for best case, average case, or worst case. For example, quicksort is O(n log n) best case, O(n log n) average case, and O(n^2) worst case. You may be confusing worst-case with upper bound: big-O is an asymptotic upper bound notation, but that refers to how we simplify the terms of the cost function and is entirely orthogonal to best/average/worst case.
Show HN: Engage – Fun and Approachable Sticky Note Surveys
Hello everyone, I'm Josh, one of the creators of Engage.

I work in architecture and do a lot of community outreach. I've noticed that people really love to do activities like sticky notes to gather feedback. Unfortunately, sticky notes can get lost, be hard to read, or don't make it into any type of data analysis tool.

We created Engage to bring these popular and familiar physical activities to the digital world. It functions like google forms but allows for the creation of sticky note surveys where people can place digital sticky notes anywhere on an image to leave their feedback.

We've already used this to gather community input from thousands of project stakeholders and are now opening it up to users from around the world.

Here is a short video about Engage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQJUKcVG_mQ

I think the comment you are responding to is thinking about native ways to extend CSS without violating or extending the syntax rules. For example, @-rules.

The actual interpolation/processing would still be outside of the browser.

IIRC, the normative framework for this is pretty new, and I don't now the rules about function names.

The pain with SASS et al is real though.

Most frequent offenders in my experience:

- the max() function

- the division symbol occuring in values of native properties such as grid-column or aspect-ratio

Both have been deprecated in newer versions, but it is impossible to automatically fix this unless you know that all of your (S)CSS was written before these features were introduced.

I do think we can pay off the debt. It would require an increase in taxation that would cause an S&P 500 contraction.

When it comes down to it, it'll be a political choice between cutting Social Security benefits (absolutely no way this happens) and a highly progressive tax on the country's wealthy.

I don't think the first one is going to happen, and our two party system is so totally dominated by the country's wealthy population that we'll never even see a vote on the second during peacetime.

One route is to "grow" our way out of debt, and those hopes are pinned on some blend of nuclear fusion and "AI, AI, smth smth, AI".

Failing that strategy, I think that spiraling U.S. debt is one of the features that greases the slide towards WW III. :/

Last time around, we needed WW II to rebalance power between asset owners and renters in this country – it literally required a global, existential struggle to get wealthy people to pay taxes. I'm afraid we're on the same track today.
"prevent people from swiping to photos they're not supposed to see"
