I'm pretty sure phones shut down long before they reach 0%, keeping plenty of charge for the Bluetooth beacon. The battery protection circuit will for sure prevent deep discharging by cutting the power.

I get stutters on my Apple Watch ultra, but I’m not sure I’ve ever noticed it on an android phone or iPhone in a very long time.

On the watch I suspect it’s some kind of Bluetooth/encoding bottleneck because the processor seems totally capable of smooth audio playback, but I’m not certain it can mediate the connection, encoding, and transferring flawlessly.

LOL. No. Try Window 11 then try KDE 5 or 6. No comparison.

You are comparing KDE4, a 10 year old release which was not well optimized.

KDE has become more efficient while Windows has become more bogged down and bloated with ads and telemetry and crapware. It is unusable before running a debloating script.

I read that they use bluetooth beaconing for this. A simple bluetooth beacon like a tile can run for months with minimal power. The phone isn't actually 'dead dead' it's still powering the bluetooth beacon.

Someone set up the breakers incorrectly way back when, and they were never adjusted. I'll bet it's not possible to adjust those without powering off the downstream equipment.

I’d get a single stutter seconds into playback of a new song fairly often when playing lossless on Apple Music on my iPhone, without Bluetooth.

I suspect that the stutter happens when it decides to change audio tracks to a higher bit rate stream, but that’s me talking out of my rear.

That particular problem went away once I turned off lossless in Apple Music settings.

Ask HN: Tips for Coding Effectively with Copilot?
I'm trying github copilot for the first time on a new project. So far I'm having trouble getting much useful output from it. Basically it just provides the types of suggestions a conventional autocomplete tool would (function signature completion, method suggestions) except with some random mistakes thrown in. Are you writing long instructive comments in your code in order to generate good output? Are there specific languages or frameworks it works better with than others?

A tad ironic to make these two statements in succession don't you think?

I'm not saying that sexism doesn't or didn't exist (especially in that time period), but trying to dismiss the discrepancy on Wikipedia as sexism, when Jobs helped build a literal worldwide business empire that is Apple of today, doesn't help your case at all. In fact it's the opposite, it sounds like you're fighting windmills.
Even bluetooth now days is often fine if not buying bargain basement products.

I use pretty much exclusively bluetooth for audio between PCs/phone/TV and both earphones and speakers, and my car's stereo is the only bluetooth connection I have that ever has connection/lag issues at all (and even then it's infrequent enough that I still choose it over plugging a USB cable in between phone and car).

So you are thinking of the set of all integer pairs whose sum is equal to an integer n?

in other words

a + b = n

?

The size and structure of this set (or these sets, or more precisely, the function A(n) that returns all such 2-element sets of integers for a given n) is trivial and well understood.

Even more precisely, all naturals, but I always get these terms mixed up in English. Including negative numbers just leads to infinitely many boring solutions of course.

I feel I may be missing something in your line of thought.

What about factorization? Do you find that interesting?

Or maybe the set of all sets of size 1..n whose members are integers and sum up to some other integer n?

These are all trivial examples of course.

But I feel you'll find plenty of material to study in maths if you get to be able to articulate the properties of numbers that interest you.

> What I mean is that there are multiple structures that are equivalently "4". 1,3 or 2,2, etc. 1 AND 3 depicts two distinct ovjects (or one object split into 2 parts) and is fundamentally a different idea than the structure represented by 4. However in all the math Ive seen this are simply reduced and we just care about the end result.

The first sentence of my answer describes the possible ways to construct integers by adding pairs of integers as you describe. I'm talking about sets here (instead of vectors) because addition is commutative and the ordering is irrelevant.

It might be you are interested more in ontology than in maths?

But I'm not very proficient in maths.

Very complex structures can emerge from simple structures.

Consider Fermat's theorem, which also deals with summarization of integers (although the multiplication/powers make this not as trivial as what I understood from your examples)

The latency is literally about how late the pixels appear on the display, so it has to be about seeing.

If you type fast, but still have to look at your output, it may be a good idea to wean off that; you should be able to type while reading something elsewhere on the screen, only occasionally glancing on what you're typing.

Traditional typewriter typists had to be able to transcribe an existing written text (e.g. manuscript). That meant their eyes were on the text they were reading, not on their hands or the typewriter ribbon strike area.
If there were typing, there would be no reason to not use newtypes[0] for radix and index. These values should only be explicitly unwrapped to plain numbers.

It would look like this

newtype Radix = Radix { radixToWord :: Word }
newtype Index = Index { indexToWord :: Word }

Nice explanation but you stopped at the human's visual system which is where everything gets very interesting and very very complicated. :)

You can go into a tirade of how women when achieving the same role as men are treated differently. But then you would be ignoring the underlying roles both were MEANT to play.

The man is meant to play the role of breadwinner. If he can’t do that, he is not seen as worthy. The women is meant to play the role of housemaker. If she can’t do that, she is seen as incompetent.

But if the other outshines the one at their meaningful role, it creates tension. It creates lack of confidence. It creates environments where the person feels small.

“I need to take care of the kids and therefore can’t go to conference” for men is equivalent to “I need to go to the conference and therefore can’t stay home” for women. Both are negatives based on the role they play.

If you want to create a new world where the roles are switched, or where both put equal time in doing both domestic and professional tasks, you would be ignoring their biological, physical, and mental strengths.

The last bit that makes the whole issue worrisome, male social circles are competitive on achievements rather than perceptions, While female social circles are vice versa.

There is a world where women can be successful and pioneering. It exists. But it doesn’t exist if there needs to be a tectonic shift. Like in the case here. And in the case of most normative systems where men and women play designated roles.

It's not limited to Europe and the Middle East. This is the technology Orwell, Kazinsky, et al warned us about, and it is in active use (or can be) right this very minute against anyone, anywhere, for any reason.

We keep hearing about this or that starting WWIII, but here it is, right in front of our faces. These technologies represent a global criminal syndicate with the power and capacity to destroy all governments, all peoples, all hopes, peaceful or otherwise, and it's for sale to the highest bidder. It's as real as you are, and it grows more powerful the longer we ignore it, by the hour.

Some will argue that it's a broadside attack against Israel and Israeli technology; that if not Israel, then who/when - a vacuum that would be filled eventually; but, the reality is that it IS Israel and the near-anonymous private b/trillions that have made it viable.

It is the most extreme threat to all people everywhere, except for perhaps those who control it. Even they may be surprised when it collapses civilization itself, because who amongst us will tolerate total governance in near-total absence of any real freedom?

It's not about taking sides, it's about freedom for everyone everywhere, it's about all of our hopes and dreams being usurped by those so named.

This is the most important post we may read in our lifetimes, because our lives are about to quickly become the lives we're permitted to have, if any, by those who control this technology.

Total Information Awareness is here now, so how far away, how long do we have, until total totalitarianism is us? Not much longer if we don't stop this now, if that is even a possibility at this point?

I am a victim of this technology, somehow still alive, if you can call my living in forced poverty and isolation "living", and the things I could tell you would astound your every sensibility. I, for example, have no hope, it being actively taken from me by these technologies and those people behind it, and any effort I expend easily trounced by its near-total control over me.

Totalitarianism-as-a-service exists now. The post from Tor says all, its importance incalculable. We ignore it at total peril to freedom, nay!, to our very reason for being alive.

I remember using tools like readelf and objdump to inspect the program and slowly rip away layers and compiler optimizations until I ended up with the smallest possible binary that still outputted "hello world". I googled around and of course found someone who did it likely much better than any of us students could have ever managed [1]

Is it unethical? Maybe. Gas lighting people because they believe the Wrong Thing™ and the end justifies the means.

People have conversations with others attempting to convince them of things. Is that unethical? Often, people do this from a disingenuous perspective. Is that more or less unethical than an LLM doing it?

What about scale? You can deploy LLMs to do this without feeding them. But we already have TV, one person can control hundreds bots on the internet, "the algorithm" in search engines and social feed creation, it would appear to me that propaganda is already industrialized to the point of diminishing returns, taking Howard Beale out of the loop is not going to increase the efficiency by that much.

Ethical or not, people will always try to increase their power by convincing others to behave in ways beneficial to themselves. It's the world we live in, if you don't want to be a tool you must remain vigilant, the tools being used don't change that at all.
i mostly lurk HN, and don't post unless i feel like my contribution is useful in some way.

from my perspective, it's relieving to see that the number of users has remained mostly constant in recent years. of course it's selfish to think in this way, but almost no "social media" or UGC-based platform that i've used has actually become better or more useful to me as it became (much) larger.

this kind of fast growth in users (beyond some size) often leads to a shift in the culture that made preexisting users participate in the first place, leading to a loss in overall quality of the platform as a whole. if the growth is gradual enough, then new users eventually figure out how to fit into the culture or leave.

i guess i've said nothing that isn't obvious to people who have used a computer before, basically "yay no eternal september for HN yet", but i digress.

That's a reasonable assumption. I wonder if it's really going to hold up in court though.

That seems too broad to hold up in court. Couldn't the company say this person failed to meet expectations, so we decided to part ways? But, yeah, sure that's a risk, but idk if that's the real reason companies have all these hoops in their hiring process.
