Your new website is nice. Particularly on mobile too, but even just generally. Though to be fair, I've always been impressed with your website layout -- even on the previous one.

I can't take any credit for Murex's site, it was a user who doesn't write Go but wanted to contribute in other ways. Open source is definitely a double edged sword but I'm still always surprised and impressed with how much time people are willing to invest into other peoples projects if they like them.

By the way, one killer feature of Elvish that I admire and think doesn't get talked about enough is how exceptions are raised in pipes. eg:

~> cat example | grep foo | grep bar
Exception: (<nil> | grep exited with 1 | grep exited with 1)

It's really neat how you do that. It's readable, detailed, and valuable to the user.
Same with people who complain about paying a living wage or basic benefits. I once had an Uber driver who, apropos of nothing, started telling me that he was driving for Uber because he had to shut his old business down after Obamacare went into effect because he couldn’t afford to provide health insurance for his employees. I just sort of nodded along because I didn’t really have a choice, but I couldn’t help but think, “Sounds like the problem was just that you weren’t a very good businessman.”
Example queries?
The whole point was the destruction -- they spent basically all the time in the ad on slow, loving shots of all these artifacts being mangled and crushed. They weren't being combined, subsumed, or absorbed -- they were being flat out destroyed. And not quickly -- slowly and remorselessly.

The problem with the ad is in the semiotics -- the visual language of the ad was all about succession _through destruction_. The message was "all these things, that represent _good_ memories and experiences you've had, are now destroyed." And at the very end they show you a brief shot of the new iPad.

Where the hell were the focus groups on this one?
I don’t see how it’s more complicated than that actually
Exactly.

How many people needed to green light this - even at the concept stage? 20? 50?

How much time was taken to create it? 3 months? 6 months?

At least one of them had to raise this as an issue across all that time, yet it was their best idea of all proposed ideas.

This being their best idea might be the biggest indictment of the ad.

I used that! The DOS version. In college at University of Cincinnati. I actually forget what class it was. Some maths I think.

This was in the late 90s / early 2000s so well past the DOS era but old DOS apps were still in use here and there (and would still run on Windows).
It appears to be true based on restaurants being one of the worst industries for wage theft. Also tipping enables restaurants to give the impression that good earnings are possible without actually having the wherewithal to provide good wages, meanwhile not taking responsibility for workers.
Deja vu?

I did start to type this as a response elsewhere, but never submitted it. And there’s nothing in my comment history.

So my theory is “great minds think alike” :)

Of course we do, the taxes are listed in the receipt. We just know how much we are paying ahead of time.
DOL considering rule change to drive down STEM wages with foreign workers
Rescheduling STEM occupations allows companies to skip attempts at finding domestic workers to fill openings before they're allowed to hire folks on visas.

There are definitely many non-SWE STEM roles that need foreign talent but this seems overly broad.

When I was a tech recruiter, I might have been more ambivalent about this but the market has changed so drastically over the last couple years. I'm sure leadership at many companies would prefer to hire cheaper foreign talent and drive down salary spend.

It’s California, they’re paid a minimum wage of 16 dollars per hour before any tips.
> Popovers created using the Popover API are always non-modal. If you want to create a modal popover, a <dialog> element is the right way to go.

Why? This is a legitimate use case for a popover. Especially if you're blurring the background while it's open. Why even offer that feature if a user's click can potentially trigger an action on some blurred out button.

*edit:

Apparently, you can combine the two:

> You can turn a <dialog> element into a popover (<dialog popover> is perfectly valid) if you want to combine popover control with dialog semantics.

Wouldn't <popover modal=true> make more sense here? They're clearly acknowledging a use case.
Keep in mind that it is often the tipped employees who push back the hardest on getting rid of tipping. The people I know in the restaurant/bar industry would be taking a giant pay cut if their establishments switched to paying a "living wage" without tipping.
Yes and no as the emperor Constantine literally moved the capital from Rome to Costantinople and Constantinople was the capital of both empires for another few centuries till the death of Giustiniano.

> it does respond like a ... 5 year old child

This is the comparison that's made most sense to me as LLMs evolve. Children behave almost exactly as LLMs do - making stuff up, going along with whatever they're prompted with, etc. I imagine this technology will go through more similar phases to human development.
I feel like people were very much offended by the "what's a computer" ad too, at least on Reddit.
You don't have to tip.
Literally has been used in that way for literally hundreds of years. From Charles Dickens ("He had literally feasted his eyes on the culprit.") and Charlotte Bronte ("Literally I was the apple of his eye"), to Mark Twain (in Adventures of Tom Sawyer) and F. Scott Fitzgerald (in The Great Gatsby) -- among others.

This "Literally shouldn't be used figuratively" is a rather modern construct that was artificially created.
Just saw this was already posted as I was typing my comment. Not sure if I should delete or let this filter out?

I mean it clearly isn’t covered under current definitions of fraud so lawmakers need to act on them.

If there’s one thing the U.S. is good at it’s suing people and organizations. If this was such a clear case of fraud there’d be a phalanx of lawyers making millions suing the tens of thousands of restaurants in the country.

Tipping culture has turned insane, spreading from California out.

That said, I’ll still take it (in restaurants) over a lack of tipping. It depends on the country, but in quite a few the wait staff are… significantly less motivated to actually serve you, to put it nicely. It’s no fun to run out of water and then wait ten minutes, realize they’re never coming and you haven’t even seen them to flag them down, and then either get up to find them or just continue eating without anything to drink.
While I'm reluctant to admit ever being influenced by a commercial, I looks like ads are playing a role in all this consumerism.

And while personally I don't own a car, don't fly, work on a 5 year old desktop computer, old phone, eat meat or fish less than twice a week... I often wonder:

How come I earn 2-3 times modal wages writing C++ software to stream video over internet? Sure lots of people watch Netflix or Youtube for leisure, but how come society value my labour so much higher than someone working in construction, education, retail, food? Why don't I pay more taxes? Should software be eating the world?
That doesn't actually mean anything, especially after I've seen how much you have abused definition of "exploit". Literally anything less than an impossible 100% profit pass-through is "exploitation". While operating under utterly-stupid economic assumptions about fixed universal values to add insult to injury.
So as long as things happen in the background and we continue to be numb to the destruction is all good? I think that says more about you(as in us, the viewer, not you HN user) than about Apple to be honest. And I’m not pro Apple here, could be anyone. Could be that Australian girl on Instagram that crushes things and dances to their shape.
Kagi’s ”?” operator (I’d expect openai to do better than it) suggests RTings, then Display Ninja, PC Magazine, and finally, reddit.

I don’t think Google has much of an advantage in this fight. Presumably, OpenAI will be able to partner with bing if they want.

Thanks to the antitrust suit, we know for sure that Google has been intentionally tanking search relevance in order to prop up their ad display numbers. I’m guessing none of the smaller search engines do that (since they all desperately want to grow their market share).
Any production deployment would probably do pre-fetching of potential initial dialogues as some kind of background job.

You don’t have to tip, you just normally do. I had one abysmal experience waiting 90 minutes without our waitress even checking in on us, so I didn’t tip.
SpaceX deliberately launches satellites into orbits which are too low to sustain on their own. Once the satellites run out of propellant, which happens after a few years of normal operation, they cannot remain in orbit indefinitely and eventually burn up in the atmosphere.

On very rare occasions, a launch malfunctions in such a way that the satellites end up in unintended orbits that do turn into long-term junk, but this is not the norm.
At this point in the web's development the better question is: will this allow our abusers to do things that weren't possible before or in ways that are less blockable than before?

I think the answer is pretty clearly no to both questions, but it will allow us to simplify a lot of our code that was designed to make actually-useful popovers.

Best before and use by dates are more useful if you use them as a tool when buying food, not when choosing to throw it out.

If I know that I'm going to be eating something today or tomorrow then it doesn't matter, but otherwise choosing the longest dated food makes sense in order to know that it'll still be edible when I need it.

For a lot of foods it's an exponential process so something that has two days left and something that has ten can look and smell exactly the same.

This is a bogus claim. The Ishmael guy just starts the paper by proclaiming his name. That's no way to start a rigorous dissertation. The publishing year is wrong too.
Weird that they'd do this with so many SWEs out of work. There are definitely non-SWE STEM occupations that need this but hard to see this overly-broad definition as anything but an attempt to drive down wages.
Nah, they're probably mad at the economic, interpreted as political, message more than anything.

If they're mad at that, then they'd be mad at themselves for having a zoomorphic stressball and squeezing it themselves --which, who knows, is possible, but unlikely to be the case.

This conversation isn't about "convenience of carrying a single thing vs. many of them". This discussion isn't about portability. Musicians don't carry their pianos or an orchestra with them to Trader Joes.

On your other point: Correct, there is INCREDIBLE art out there that is only possible thanks to technology. EDM music, 3D animation, the hyperpop genre (RIP Sophie), etc. The insinuation of the ad, however, is that those "old" ways to create art are no longer needed, the iPad does it all!!

Give two jazz artists the same music sheet and an iPad and tell them to recreate it and they'll both make music that sounds the exact same, because the iPad doesn't allow them to insert those little things like I mentioned in my previous comment.

Give those same two jazz artists the same music sheet but give them a full orchestra and they'll both be unique.

This doesn't make digital art less artistically valuable. I'm saying that technologies such as the iPad, which inherently remove the ability for human uniqueness to be included, insinuating that physical methods of artistic expression are outdated is both demeaning to artists, and frankly a dangerous method of thinking when it comes to art.

I remember reading that Tesla can't recognize lighted or dynamic road signs (which are essentially a matrix of lights which change according to road conditions) present in parts of Europe because they're not present in the US to begin with.

Same signs were easily detected by a Ford Puma I drove recently on a highway.

I assume training data for European roads are also is of inferior quality due to amount of miles traveled and because of sheer variety of the roads, road signs and norms around Europe.

Wallets under the current setup in the Lightning Network are designed for a single payment to a single recipient. She might pay to Bob, or she may pay to Carol; she cannot pay to both at once, atomically. What this boils down to is a limitation where Alice needs to pay each of her recipients separately in such a way that this introduces possible points of failure: one payment might successfully pay, while the other might fail. The Lightning Network protocol, by design, is not natively supporting the case of coordinating a single payment between multiple recipients in a trust-minimized way, leaving that to be handled by Alice, Bob, and Carol.

>This should be covered very clearly by the existing federal laws against fraud. Because that's what this is. If you say "10 dollars" and then after they say "11 dollars" when it's time to pay, that's just fraud.

Except it's not as straightforward as this. There's usually some fine print at the bottom that says there's a 20% service charge, taxes not included, or whatever.

A true sensory deprivation tank is not a fair comparison, I think, because AI is not deprived of all its 'senses' - it is still prompted, responds, etc.

I would think so. Let's not try it ;)

Breastfeeding. So nice.

Now give the baby spider claws. Then 20 eyeballs.

This is why I hope open-source model fine-tuners will try and make models 'ad averse', to make them as resistant to being influenced by marketing as possible. Maybe the knowledge gained while doing this can be used to minimize other biases that models may acquire from content in their training data as well.
For a given connection, (most) packages might go through (e.g.) 10 links. If one link goes down (or is saturated and dropping packets) the connection is supposed to route around it.

So, except for the links on either of end going down (one end really, if the other is on a “data center” the TCP connection is likely terminated in a “server” with redundant networking) you wouldn't want to have a connection terminated just because a link died.

That's explicitly against the goal of a packed switched network.

I used an iPad+ssh for programming with a detached Bluetooth keyboard for a while. It was great.

It was much lighter than what I have now, a 2-in-1 with a fold-back keyboard. This opened up possibilities like using a car suction cup mount and a lap desk to get a slightly taller computer while on the couch. Or a lightweight armature.

Plus, vertical orientation on a “laptop” felt really novel and nice. My 2-in-1 can be vertical, but it is clearly an afterthought. The iPad ~4:3 aspect ratio is much nicer for vertical use, and there’s something about the pixel alignment or maybe the screen viewing angles… my laptop screen doesn’t work quite as well sideways.

I switched because I missed i3wm mostly, and generally all of the local Linux software. But no complaints about the hardware.
We've faced a similar version of this problem before, in the 1910s and 1920s. What happened in that case was a global depression, followed by reforms (in some places) and communist/fascist takeovers in others. Then we had a world war.
The performance/compute density of these is pretty neat, you could fit a lot of them in a 42U rack.

Show HN: Roc VAD – macOS virtual device for audio streaming
Roc VAD[1] implements a virtual audio device for macOS that acts as network sender on receiver.

It works on top of Roc Toolkit[2] and can be used with any compatible senders and receivers, including PipeWire and PulseAudio modules on Linux, Roc Droid app on Android, and CLI tools (which also support bare ALSA).

Roc Toolkit itself is a library for (soft) realtime streaming with fixed latency and loss recovery (using FEC codes), designed to work well over unreliable networks like WiFi.

Roc VAD also provides gRPC interface with full control of the driver, so that you can use it in your own projects.

>Musical instruments have nothing on the deep history of consumer electronics.

no, man. have you never experienced music in a personal way? not a recording, not a concert, but as a living cultural joy shared and created together among strangers and lovers both in the same moment - it's so beautiful, so overwhelming in a way that nothing else is.

and so often it involves a musical instrument, you know.

and it can be a story, a lesson, it is all political. people kill and die for this thing every day, and every day in history.

instruments may be more electronic these days and i enjoy my share of electronic music and computer music. but physical, acoustic instruments will always be the icon.

i think a piano or a guitar has already made more history than remains to be made by anything.

the first cultural memes were songs
Because they will, out of the habit, mentally compare those prices to the prices they are used to see printed in the menu. Basically double-counting all the taxes and fees.

They do not say it will create higher prices, it will create AN IMPRESSION of everything getting more expensive. It's all about perception, that will cause people to be more frugal.
