It says they have specialized hardware so I imagine they use some ultra-low power chips and perhaps even a small extra battery?
biggest win for me as a senior engineer is the ability to quickly prototype something in a new framework/language. In these cases, I generally know what I want and what "good" looks like - but I'm missing context on the exact incantations for the framework. Alternatively, maybe I'm missing some best practices - or the best practices I know are no longer applicable.

GPT-4 is fantastic at taking a detailed requirement/question from an expert user and giving a good answer. Curiously, it sometimes doesn't respond well if it perceives one as a non-expert user - it'll start lecturing on BS, or avoid giving an answer.
I just needed 3 minutes to parse faraday bags ("far a day"? Is it some vendor i don't know of?). Funny, how the brain works.
No, SQL is not natural language.

> No need to get into your hobbies

I know you are trying to be 'one of the good ones' by saying this, but my hobbies are significantly more interesting and reflective of my ability than the work I did collecting a paycheck by appeasing the frontend framework gods for some crapp that is long dead now.

And the people in charge of hiring with this "resume first" mentality will likely keep it that way.

Why does "previous employment" even play into the calculation of how my collaboration will help you achieve your goals?
It’s even easier to tap my smart watch! I love it and I feel more secure than getting my card out.
We are seeing a transformation where AI papers have a website that has code/paper/video and high level explainer. The paper is now subservient to the rest of the body of work.

The one that I don't like is many venues have a 10 page max, so some papers end up getting golfed down to 10 pages and become impossible to read.

One way is to support orgs like EFF that push for policy change to force Google and other powers-that-be to give you fine grain control.
Right? I don't get it. Do people expect AIs trained on human knowledge to not perpetuate the flaws embedded in that knowledge?

If everybody agreed that the Earth was 5,000 years old, would people be surprised to find out that the AIs echo the same idea?

It's artificial intelligence, not magic.
No, you just need a boss you can trust. You need to not be a clock puncher of an employee. You need to be present (in an office) for these conversations to happen.

This sort of thing still goes on all the time. If your not part of it your either in "Giant Corp" or the wrong company, or you have the wrong boss, or you are the wrong person.
With microinverters it doesn't really matter if some panels aren't optimally places.

Yeah I can't really see where they go from here, which is a big shame personally because I got a bunch of very cheap battery replaceable ones years back that are still going strong.
Also got a four pack of long dead gen 2s that were pretty easy to cut apart, rejig for replaceable batteries and embed into a few items.

I use self-hosted runners. It wasnt even because we could have large disk for caching. Github pricing for their runners is so bad it was a no brainer to host our own.
So you're saying that it's not possible to do what I asked, currently.

And judging by the other comments in this thread ATM (with one possible exception), nobody seems to care...
When wheat is taxed it's usually done by centralizing the milling. Once water and windmills were invented, they became communal resources and starting with the middle ages that’s where taxation was calculated. Keeping track of everyone’s wheat fields was never practical, especially since yield is an independent variable.

Hi, thanks for the interest.

Indeed, having categories and filtering by those is one of the features I am currently working on.

Regarding the verification, I don't think it would be possible now (there is no way to share conversations AFAIK).
I have a bit of professional interest here because building these kinds of systems safely is my job, whereas distracted driving isn't something I can meaningfully change as an individual. At the very least, I can explain to others what a safe development process looks like.

Same question here. I have to assume this would either work by the device sending out a last gasp "I'm about to die" GPS location call home (for finding it when it's far away), or else there's a mostly passive RFID-like thing in the phone that makes it findable by nearby devices (for finding it when it's somewhere in the house/car/office with you).

> Here's a simple test for your laptop keyboard: try LeftShift+RightShift+Q and see if it prints anything. Repeat with the other letters of the alphabet. In my case I get nothing for several letters such as X, T and M.

Microsoft has published a table of key combinations that are required to work in Windows, and it does not include combos of two modifiers of the same type .. with one exception: Both Windows keys have to work together.
(You'd not often find a laptop keyboard that has two Windows keys though)

There's otherwise a convention when constructing (diode-less) keyboards to put the modifier keys outside the keyboard matrix altogether so as to guarantee that you'd avoid key-combo collisions with them. I.e. each of the Control, Shift, Alt/Option, Windows/Command/Super keys would get its own dedicated GPIO pin on the controller.

BTW. On the old Amiga platform, the rollover issue was handled in a prudent way: Keyboards that did not have NKRO all had a standard keyboard matrix that was published in a reference manual which software developers could consult to figure out which key combos that were viable and which were not. Also here the modifier keys were outside the matrix.
Spotify and the internet as a whole has liberated the music industry from the strangle hold of record companies. And you still can't just upload your songs to Spotify, you need to go through some publishing group. Getting Spotify to pay more per stream is siding with the record companies, and you can be sure they are lobbying hard on behalf of their interests. It's a tricky situation.
Can anyone recommend a similar device small enough for eyeglasses? An elderly person I know loses theirs (and it's a significant problem; they are very limited without them, on top of other difficulties of aging). I can find their phone for them remotely, but not their eyeglasses.

Tell HN: Google Nest Secure Sunsets Today
Google is in the process of turning off support for its home security system, the Nest Secure. It never made clear what would happen to devices after support was ended, but fortunately it seems to have left the devices able to function in offline mode. I had talked with several CS reps who gave conflicting feedback regarding whether this would happen.

I'd be curious to know if folks are taking the $200 store credit or the ADT starter pack as compensation.
> 8. Don’t insult anyone, accidentally or on purpose. I once wrote an update that said something along the lines of “our engineers don’t know anything and therefore can’t ship, we need better engineers”, and sent it to everyone including the engineers themselves. It was factually true, but crude and unnecessary. Don’t do this.

What the hell?

This suggests there is separate hardware with its own power and network capabilities, designed for location tracking, designed to be always on. Is there a way to disable it?
Morphogenèses
Thats very kind, thank you!
Seems like that's what was just released.
In general, in electronics, when a firmware is involved and communicates with a higher-level software, it's almost always better to make the firmware as simple as possible, as dumb as possible, because the firmware is more difficult and tedious to update than the higher-level software, and it makes the hardware/firmware simpler and cheaper to design.

For example say we followed your suggestion and the keyboard had to be responsible for key mapping. This means it would probably need non-volatile memory for saving the keymap in use (or it would forget it when unplugged.) The extra component adds a bit more cost, and increases the chances of hardware failure. If you want to forego NV memory, the software would have to be responsible for initializing the keymap every time the keyboard is plugged in. But if the software is choosing which keymap to use anyway, then technically it's simpler to let the key mappping happen in software and not firmware.
I'm impressed with the shear amount of cat-sitting
StarCoder: A language model trained on source code and natural language text
A ten year old system is a Core 4xxx or 5xxx series, which is plenty fast. The main struggle would be the integrated GPU at higher resolutions, but presumably a 10 year old laptop has a pretty low resolution.
I really wish critical infrastructure folks would stop trying to get into the political side of things. Whether it's crypto, the onion router, Cloudflare and others. When parties who are supposed to be neutral takes side they ultimately bifurcate what remains.

It's no secret what's going on in the Middle East or Europe, a blog post highlighting the surveillance mass-apparatus is a GOOD thing. Be consistent and do it for all sides. However ending it by trying to pick a side or making political conclusions just results in people not having shared places of interest such as privacy and freedom.

My point is the centrists and moderate people on either side of Israel / Palestine have yet one less thing to agree on. And it digs people into their corners when realistically not changing much at all beside alienation of allies and what bonds us together.

What prevents any random Windows application to make a screenshot and apply "greying out" filter to it? I mean, I launch a game and it puts full-screen image of whatever it wants. It doesn't take any special permissions to make a screenshot either.

The only true security feature I remember was implemented in Windows many years ago. After you got security prompt, you would need to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and type password there. Supposedly only Windows itself could handle that combination.
It wasn't meant as a jab, I'm trying to figure out where your confusion is. Even in that imgur gif, I can clearly see what the renewal price will be.

I think what you're wishing for is another line that indicates the price from year 2 on? I could see how being more explicit about what that "renewal price" means would help clear this kind of confusion up. I don't work at namecheap, I have no power over this kind of thing, I'm just interested to see where your confusion is and what would help with it.
No matter the structure of the interview, it will always come down to things we cannot control in the end.

1. You will have shit days and your brain will actively work against you, no matter how qualified you are for the job. If your interview happens to be on that day, well, it's just unfortunate.

2. Your interviewer also has shit days that actively work against them, no matter how many interviews they've given in the past to calibrate their expectations. If your interview happens to be on that day, well, just the one tiny slip-up, or mistake, or forgetting one simple test case, could mean they wrote you off, no matter how strong the rest of your interview went. When they leave feedback, it will frame your other interviews too. So yea, that's just unfortunate.

3. You were 1 day behind another candidate, who was interviewed and loved, after the company spent weeks searching for them. No matter how amazing you do, even hitting it out of the park, they likely already know they want the other person, and you are being interviewed as the backup should they reject the offer.

All we can do, is keep at it, practice interviewing, keep studying and try to sleep well the night before. We can clean up our appearances too, looking like we care to be here. There's definitely a difference between someone who walks into an interview, looking smug and uninterested, versus someone passionate about the role and excited to be part of the mission of the company. Those are the things we can control. Hopefully, with enough preparation, luck and timing, you get the job.
>So there are two questions here. First, why are we doing this?

Countries cant go bankrupt and the USA is effectively bankrupt.

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/central-bank-bala...

Set that graph to max. The "balance" aka it ought to be close to 0. In 2008, the financial crisis broke the USA. It has never recovered.

>nd second, when will this become a problem for our country? Unfortunately, there’s a huge amount of uncertainty around both of those questions, but it’s not too hard to come up with some scary theories.

It already is a problem, not when. The central bank is falsely labeling liabilities as assets and it's going to mean bad things. Lots of certainty here.

This is why there's a rather unusual amount of 'government shut down, debt ceiling increases.' since they went bankrupt.

https://www.cbo.gov/publication/58888

Take a look at the budget breakdown on spending. The government must first look at discretionary spending and reduce it; or change policy and remove the mandatory. But there's no politician willing to change the mandatory. So defense is what must decrease. But consider they have also increased the number of fronts they are fighting on, space/cyber.

This means the USA as world police has ended. you then consider... wait this seems to have been decided during Obama's administration, Trump extended, and then Biden doubled down. All going to plan.

Photoncycle targets low-cost energy storage with a clever hydrogen solution
I've never needed this feature before but if a chance of losing my phone once per decade is the price to pay for not having my phone tracked at all times, then I'm cool with it.
With Apple's Find My solution, when logging in via iCloud.com there is a 2FA bypass link to the Find My web app. If you want to access other iCloud web apps, 2FA is required, but not for Find My. A nice quality of life feature that has probably gotten thousands of people out of a bind.
This is not compatible with AirTags in any way, no? Wouldn't this be a great opportunity for a common standard? Or is there one?
Being charitable to the author, the wording might’ve been like “our engineers aren’t familiar with this domain” or “we lack staff-level engineers”. I doubt they literally sent out an email saying their engineers don’t know anything. That’s probably also why the author specifies “accidentally or on purpose.”
Interesting. Do you have any benchmarks?

AirTags really should have a hole on the edge. Then could attach a lanyard for keychain or strap without needing an adapter.
Seems like the type of thing that would benefit from a joint iOS/Android W3C protocol between Apple/Google/Samsung. Perhaps a find my Matter device?
Isn't some of it that we're optimizing more for graphics and there are tradeoffs between the two (so getting better at graphics tends to make the text worse)? Partially offset by terminals using GPU acceleration, but you're still paying for that pipeline.
It sounds like these are just issues with processes taking a long time. In other words, that there are long queues. Of course that is a problem too, but it sounds like there's less "active time" and it's more streamlined, if still with long wait times?

Making Slow, Illegible WebRTC Screenshare Fast and Legible
I don't know the answer but I agree this tech should be standardized. Over time there will be a massive network of phones and tags capable of finding each other, but it's silly to bifurcate it such that you might not find your device because nobody on the "correct" network is nearby.

Please don't. If you have 2FA, it should always be active. No exceptions.

Hackers were able to steal private photos of half of Hollywood in 2014 because someone at Apple decided that 2FA is not needed for one particular iCloud function.
Truchet Tiles variant: Intertwined quarter circles
If it is using a similar technology to AirTags, then it could broadcast signal for a long time on remaining battery. Even Bluetooth can do months on coin cell battery.
That's what home-brew does.
When it comes to European bureaucracy:

If we put Germany on one end of the scale and put Estonia on the other end, most of Europe is going to be placed near Germany. Germany isn't the outlier, Estonia is.

Also one would be mistaken to believe that these bureaucratic processes produce a better result - there's already numerous examples where weaknesses in these systems have been exploited. One recent example exploits the requirement for applicants to supply their own photos. In this case people who looked somewhat alike used computer graphics to merge facial features to produce a mid-point headshot, resulting in one identity that worked for two individuals.
