I do the same, I do wonder however, if there are performance issue at the OS level, from running (on a 4K screen) 4K borderless vs. 4K fullscreen.

Like, the whole giving the application maximum priority would work the same?
Oh, cool. I didn't know Rossmann was related to Futo. I know Futo from [1]: 'The Voice Input app for Android that respects your privacy.' and I did not know Futo was more than 'Voice Input'.

As for Grayjay. Yeah, this is exactly what we need: an application which allows us to watch video (offline) without being tied to a platform.

We have a name for that: it is called a web browser. In a web browser, we use standards such as HTML and CSS. The user decides how a website looks, not the website (those are merely suggestions, the user is the one who in the end decides if they want to follow these).

Something like Grayjay is following the spirit of the WWW.

The Unsustainability of the AI Bubble
It's not the first time, I'm sure it won't be the last either.
I agree with your take. This device kind of reminds me of the kiosk use case. There are times where having a single device, that does one thing well, feels better than having to search through a crowded smartphone for an app.
I write C all day and enjoy every second of it. I assume there are many like myself. There's just nothing new to make noise about, and that's a good thing, other than small quality-of-life improvements in the standard.
You have to remember that anything about Boeing gets clicks, and immediately engage your critical thinking. The Boeing 767 has been in production for over 40 years, and at this point is very nearly out of production aside from a few that are built each year for cargo use. The plane in question is 33 years old. A typical airliner lifespan is 20-25 years. Any problem with a plane of that age is maintenance, not design.
USD strengthened against most currencies. US products more expensive.
As an Android developer I don’t understand the reason behind mixing Jetpack Compose and Flutter. I’m not an expert on cross platforms, I mostly work on Compose, so if anyone wants to share.

> The index shows not only that median household income for Black people, at $43,862, is 37 precent less than that of white people, at $69,823. Black people also are less likely to benefit from home ownership, the engine of generational wealth in America. Census data shows Black couples are more than twice as likely as whites to be denied a mortgage or a home improvement loan, which leads to just 59 percent of the median home equity white households have, and just 13 percent of their wealth.

These numbers just show that racial disparities exist. Which they obviously do! But disparities are not proof of discrimination, there are many other potential causes.

> Here's two recent-ish studies from Harvard, which were also published: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/population-development/2019/11/...

The two studies measured reported discrimination. Which is not proof of actual systemic discrimination.

At some point it was illegal in NYC to go out with a with a mask on, while it was also made illegal to go out without a mask on.

(That was when they were both protests that made them ban masks (that obscure the face), and Covid that made them mandate masks. But I think the laws were written broadly enough that both covering and not covering your face were technically forbidden.)
Sorry, I just don't think that arguing that it's ok to judge people is viable. It seems to be very important to you, however.
Constructive feedback usually has a more inviting, accepting and helpful tone of voice. As opposed to the commenter you are referring to, which seemed dismissive and slightly rude to me, tbh.

Aside from the tone, the specific feedback was also a miss, imo. It was written from the standpoint of as if they were reading a marketing page, or a show hn post, which it is not. It is simply a blog post. An article. To me it provided a bunch of context and was kind of enjoyable.

When you have a marketing page or some kind of "check it out" post, there is a certain level of expectation that the reader can expect and it's even reasonable to complain when the given post does not get to the point. I agree with that.

This is not such a thing
That reminds me of Groucho Marx's stunt of "responding" to a never-actually-made legal threat from Warner Brothers (publisher of Casablanca) over his movie A Night in Casablanca. As a pre-emptive media strike, it seemed to work.

> You claim you own Casablanca and that no one else can use that name without their permission. What about Warner Brothers — do you own that, too? You probably have the right to use the name Warner, but what about Brothers? Professionally, we were brothers long before you were. When Vitaphone was still a gleam in the inventor’s eye, we were touring the sticks as the Marx Brothers and even before us, there had been other brothers — the Smith Brothers; the Brothers Karamazoff; Dan Brouthers, an outfielder with Detroit; and “Brother, can you spare a dime?” This was originally “Brothers, can you spare a dime” but this was spreading a dime pretty thin so they threw out one brother, gave all the money to the other brother and whittled it down to “Brother, can you spare a dime?”

For the record: it is legal to photograph police in all of the US, and is a protected 1st amendment right. Some states or localities might try to outlaw it, but they always lose when challenged. Some police may simply ignore the law and punish you for exercising your rights, but that's different than it being illegal.

With regards to photography on US railroad tracks, there is no law against it. However, railroad tracks are private property and in the US private property owners can control your photography on their property or trespass you from their property, and due to the danger of pedestrians on tracks, railroads understandably disallow pedestrians on tracks for photography.
Same reason why you use Ruby instead of Java, Nomad has its own opinionated way of doing things that jives with a lot of people.
You might have a more interesting take after reading the article?
You do bring up a good point that others seem to be dismissing; I’m the title seems to be using a method of mitigating preconditioning, lean into the topic (gross violation of the most fundamental natural God given, Constitutionally protected right of privacy and the law against warrantless and unreasonable, i.e., unjustified searches.), which the author then proceeds to spin as a positive, i.e., a huge reduction … don’t ‘cha know … which is a good thing; totally sidestepping that the warrantless, secret police searches should be ZERO, not one, not two, not 57,000.

So what people take away is a conditioning to accept some level of illegal and treasonous surveillance.
I find it interesting when people attribute abstract intentions to this kind of behaviour. The chick's probably not thinking "man I gotta dust myself for mites", it probably just feels good to get dusty. Now, the reason it feels good is probably that dust baths are correlated with fewer parasites and better overall outcomes, but I doubt the chick knows that.

Same thing with cats liking scritches under their chin. They're not thinking "ah yes I am scent marking this human", scent glands are probably just itchy.
I agree. However, YouTube's legal argument would be tortious interference. As much as that's a stupid concept, it might be enforced.

That might be a good reason not to have a legal entity in the US but a jurisdiction with more sensible laws.

Wayland: What is my remote desktop server solution?

It's driving me nuts.
One of the criticisms of this device is that it would have made more sense as an app on your phone.

The fact that it is already implemented as just an app makes the point all the more valid.

My only guess is that the physical device adds some additional mystique that makes it easier to sell the idea of an "AI in a box" to investors.
Just to clarify: This letter was about GrayJay, a 3rd party YouTube front-end that -as I understand it- gets its YT content by parsing the YouTube website. This way they can access YouTube content without using their official (or any, really) API. Parsing the site is more complicated and a lot of work to maintain but good for privacy and no restrictions from API terms of use.

Google pretends not to know or understand this by asking the GrayJay devs to honor the terms of an API they actively avoid using.

GrayJay is being developed by a team at FUTO (dot org) that Louis Rossmann is affiliated with. His personal 'Louis Rossmann' YouTube channel is seperate from FUTO and GrayJay, and isn't part of this issue, nor is his personal channel mentioned in the letter.

I hope I remember correctly, I listened to his video while falling asleep ^^

You show zero imagination here. All you need is someone powerful that doesn’t want to be implicated.
What if the company had industry data that the statement is factual? That unionized employees are less empowered and companies that have unions do not yield the same ROI in their respective industry as their count parts?

Would it still break federal law if the statement is factual from data? I feel like then the argument can be made that in his capacity it is no longer an opinion or representation of the company, but a stated observation of the industry itself.
The website itself is a form of API.

You send a web request, you get a response, designed for a piece of software to read.

It's an API.

The fact that it's not optimised for what they are using it for is not relevant.
I think the big successes that you describe are the exception rather than the rule. I think you'll find the majority of economic success comes from simple rent seeking -- whether literally as landlord, or as financial service, or otherwise being in middle.

With all the significant increases in economic productivity that has not benefited the average American. We can see historically that as productivity has increased, the wealth of individuals has decreased. We like to think of utopia where increased productivity means we would all get to work less and have more but that isn't how capitalism works. We have made everything significantly more efficient and continue to do so but who is benefiting? For most people things are getting worse because that is actually more efficient.

> leave individuals with a minimum of taxes and government power and let them try and take the risks.

Living in a country with a good social safety net is pretty helpful for risk taking. It's a lot easier to quit your job and start a business when you don't have to worry about losing health care and potentially dying or going bankrupt.
> i.e. You are just staying wilfully ignorant

You're trying to defend a conspiracy theory by saying that waiting for even a shred of actual evidence is willfully ignorant? Really? And your point of comparison is a religious belief, something by definition not based on evidence? Wow.
Steam stopped working this year, forcing me to consider updating to Windows 10... but still hasn't happened, yet.
I'm the organizer for the conference [0] mentioned in TFA.

We had a professional UI/UX designer react to ShapeUp [1], and one of the things she commented on was the font being hard to visually parse.

I laughed a little when the author yelled "raylib!" to make sure blame was assigned appropriately XD. I'm currently the top GitHub sponsor for raylib, so there's no hate, but I wish he changed some of his defaults.

Like many other things in Unix, SO_PEERCRED and getpeereid are half-implemented hacks that should not be used for security. They both only return the uid that was used at the time of calling connect(). Meaning you have to be incredibly careful what you do when creating the socket and you cannot really pass any sockets off to other processes if you want to try to do security that way because they will still inherit the wrong credentials. Also the usual complexities apply of how to interpret that when interacting with a process in a container.

I have a pretty low opinion of s6 because of things like this, you pretty much have to create a more complex system like polkit and systemd if you want this stuff to actually work. You don't have to use XML and javascipt like polkit does but you do have to do more than what s6 is trying to do. (Also, I personally don't find the "random collection of ad-hoc text files" style they do to be any less complex than systemd, but that's a different conversation)

> Oh what a dream if that were true! Instead, every year, the 'synonyms' get broader and broader. To me it looks like they're using synonyms of synonyms (of synonyms).

Forget about synonyms of synonyms - I've seen antonyms bolded as matches in google search results. I have to imagine I'm not the only one.
OpenStreetMap Musings
So this decision hinges on construing his statement as a threat.

If anything makes the consortium trying to get rid of the NLRB look right, this is it.
By "people" you mean "some people" and there are always some people. For as long as I've been alive the predominant public opinion has been that mass surveillance does take place. We've had evidence for that decades before Snowden got specific about the NSA's abilities.
But the government likes this, as it lets them push censorship under the guise of eliminating "hate speech", "misinformation", "fake news". They've also tricked people into thinking they need it to filter out the former things. They don't, and are actively harmed by the censorship.
About three weeks ago, I grabbed some samples out of a freezer at -80C without gloves because it was quick. Yes it was stupid! (It's also quite common that someone who needs to "grab one sample real quick" does this.) The fingers on my right hand felt prickly for a couple minutes after that but no harm, it seemed. Well it took a couple weeks but the fingertips on my right hand all started blistering and one finger basically has a second-degree burn. My left hand, which I didn't use on the freezer, seems to be experiencing mirroring blisters, and I have no explanation since I didn't do anything (stupid or otherwise) to burn/blister them. If I were relying on passkeys and I couldn't register multiple keys, like one for each of my ten fingers plus face plus hardware token, I'd be locked out of my passkey-protected accounts for... I mean I honestly don't know how long, my fingerprints could still be healing a month from now.

So between that and the kinks that still need to be worked out regarding exporting and FAANG lock-in, I'll keep using my passwords. And wearing gloves when using -80C freezers.
Yeah, I typically use `impl AsRef<T>`. It would be really nice to be able to say roughly the same thing, but have the `.as_ref()` call happen at the call site instead of within the function.
> It simply does not respond to the market, which is to say, to the level of demand.

> So you end up with stories like this.

You seem very sure that rent control is the cause of the lack of available housing. Can you be so sure when the same type of shortage exists in so many other places without rent control?

I could just as easily argue that short term rentals are to blame.
MightyGrep: Cross-platform file searching GUI
Hello all, my name is Kyle and I wanted to share a side project I've been working on. I took the design of an old win32 app and extended it with new features. My personal favorite features are incremental searching, combined search history (recording path/filter/pattern together as one entry), and navigating history with side mouse buttons. The program has very light dependencies, only needing shared libraries that should already be present on the operating system.

I've also listened to feedback since my last HN post a few months ago. The apple demo now a universal binary and I've included more features from the paid version. The official platforms supported are Windows, macOS, and Linux (FreeBSD is possible through the linuxulator).
We ask the user to name each passkey. One more modal dialog during registration, but seems to work well.
> just released a kind of crappy messaging app that flopped.

I don't think releasing a messaging app that flops is bad? If getting a messaging app to succeed was easy then there would be more successes at it.
Old joke but - Two engineers can do in two months what one engineer can do in one month.

Probably just fast moving startup stuff. Different developers working on different features with different preferred toolsets. Can normalize it all later, right now launch is most important.

His personal 'Louis Rossmann' YouTube channel isn't part of this issue

I'm sure he'd like to believe that but YouTube seems pretty happy to ban accounts for spurious reasons.
referring to arkell vs pressdram is not unlike germans referring to götz von berlichingen without actually quoting him.
How much other research is sabotaged by fraud from top universities? They are the "leaders" supposedly, and convinced everyone to be snobs about choice of school. So they disproportionately screw up everyone with fraud, potentially more than whatever discoveries they make. It can take decades and billions of dollars to undo bad research done at such a high level.
Even worse - loans can't usually be clawed back at any time
The (explicit or implied) corollary is that it is nothing more than an Android App. At which point, why pay for a separate physical device? Not even much of a novelty at that point.
I'm not really sure what modern smartphones do better than 5 year old smartphones.
"corporate" versions probably don't have them. Microsoft has a very clear segmentation between the business products and their generic "home" version they won't hesitate to shove any crap in.
Forfeiture of copyright would mean it becomes public domain and there are no longer any restrictions on distribution/modification.

If you mean transfer of copyright to an organisation aiming to maximise software freedom for end-users, then Software Freedom Conservancy is willing to receive copyrights and enforce the GPL and other code licenses. Probably the FSF is willing to do that too.

FWIW nobody has created a great JavaScript framework experience yet. Closest we have for RAG is LlamaIndexTS or Langchainjs but both are full of bugs and have little LLM support. Their whole approach to supporting LLMs is writing bespoke wrappers for each.

Maybe it's the same on the Python side, but it feels like nobody has nailed the perfect LLM wrapper library yet. I would focus on dev experience - make it dead simple to load in files and use it from 0-1.
I got a couple patents while at Google. I sent a nice readable 4 page design doc that I wrote to a patent lawyer, and I got back 40 pages of nonsense that I basically didn't understand.

I wish there was some kind of readability requirement for patents , if they are to continue to exist.
I don't know if there's a free tier, but i think you're asking for shodan.io
My tongue needs to go further down on the decision making food chain
Hell, google has released about 30 and 33 have failed
I'd have imagined you wrote a draft, corrected with the red pen, and then sent it off to (presumably) an army of women to do it properly.
Bad luck, most likely.

Sounds like a first got flu, which then progressed into pneumonia. This is normal.

Then he was admitted to the hospital, and probably contracted MRSA - which is not unusual either. Or did he get it prior to that? Either way, it happens.

And from there it progressed into sepsis, which he might have been fighting for some time? Anyway, heart attacks, strokes, etc. can happen when you get sepsis. Sepsis can come out of nowhere.

Doesn't really sound suspicious or sudden.

I have this after eating a bare steak. I think there's something about eating a lot of something that does not contain carbs that immediately turns on craving for sugar.
