I mean, it can play Fortnite for all the good it does a cameraman. At the end of the day I don't think on-device editing and apps/AI is really a killer feature at all. People want the raw footage, and Apple pushed to make the iPhone capable of that early.

For that matter, does Apple still not offer a way to get regular RAW files from your phone, or are we still stuck in proprietary candyland?
Better to say that whatever your resulting platform is (probably Go based on what you’ve said), it suits your constraints.

We've found that our constraints are better met for our most important project by Elixir. We are building something else in Go (mostly because it will be easier to find cheaper contractors to build these boring things once we have the first version done) and we still deliver a number of things in Ruby, and there's Typescript for some things. Use what works at the time you need it.

I personally find Go to be a tedious language and think it could use a fair number of DX improvements, ranging from adopting some form of Rust's terminal `?` sugar to just better recommendations on project structure and layout. It took far too long for Go to get generics, and the platform-specific build files being based on filename (e.g., `foo_aix.go`) is clever with all of the hatred I can put into that.

I have shipped software in ~40 different programming languages and distinct dialects over my career. Go does a number of things well, but some of the choices made are frankly bizarre. There are restrictions on how you can name things because of the platform bit and `internal/`, but then there's no recommendation on how to lay out a project otherwise. I’ll still use it any time over most other lower-level languages, but the language itself does not spark joy. The compiler is good and fast, but I have less confidence that I have built the right thing from it than when I use Rust.
I'm not sure it's worthwhile to have this discussion here, but please elaborate.
nice work, love the landing page design, messaging/copy could be improved slightly. I was confused on how it was supposed to help me without going deeper if that makes sense.
And it's insane how slow the M1 is now compared to the M3 AND how fast it still is compared to pretty much everything in the laptop market!

You two are talking about separate things.

Parent is talking about brand goodwill.

You're talking about revenue.

The two are different, but not unrelated. One reason Apple can run the margins and move the product that it does is because it's Apple. If it were "random company" and didn't benefit from its RDF, those numbers wouldn't be sustainable.

Which, in a nutshell, is the Tim Cook problem -- you can make all the sales numbers go in the right direction, but that's not the product magic that Apple has historically benefited from (and been valued at).
Ads for multi-function products have featured the single-use products they're intended to replace being crushed, shoved into them, destroyed, thrown away, etc for decades. Artists are just extremely salty right now about being replaced by AI so they're sensitive.

> If you're a trumpet player, seeing a trumpet being crushed is going to be a bit distressing

Really? I play the trumpet and felt nothing watching this ad. My trumpet wasn't being crushed, so who cares? It wasn't a rare Stradivarius, nor even a high-end Schilke or anything... Even if it was - why care? They can make more trumpets after all...
This looks unnecessary. Instead of a program (AI) that checks your code locally (like fixing typos) the program lives on the PR. Instead of installing something locally you have to have some user program on GitHub which knows about your repository.

What do you get? A bot that makes commits. I don’t want to keep those commits. I would rather just squash (rebase) those typo fixes into my original commit. Just noise.

What else do you get? It seems that you get to pretend that you’re in a Google Doc For Code.[1] If people want that then they should work towards real-time online code editors.

Take a step back. The point of code review is knowledge transfer, mentorship and guaranteeing code quality. You can certainly fulfill the last point with a program. And this is AI so of course you can in principle solve the two first as well. But if the underlying point is to transfer the knowledge from the senior humans (groan) to the junior humans, then how does your AI replace that? Because the point isn’t to transfer some general-purpose (AI) knowledge but the specific knowledge of those more experienced developers.

[1] Why do people want to turn regular programs (including AI) into some high-tech dance in the cloud where you tag and ping bots on GitHub? I’m at a loss.
How does that work for online shopping? Do you put your location in at the start? Someone else mentioned online shops and it never occurred to me before now to wonder how to implement that.
No, it was actually shot on Panavision lenses with iPhones attached. Big difference.

This is why I love birth rates declining: makes labor scarce and forces the better treatment of those still in the labor force.

La Boqueria, La Merced, oh let's see in Paris, Marche Couvert San Quentin, La Libertad in Guadalajara, I could go on and on. What on earth could you do with the stuff you can buy there, but hardly anywhere in the US. I should go out for a drive in my FSD Tesla, and meditate on this question.

(I don't have a Tesla.)
I think probably the big difference is "if you work alone". You have to go to extra effort with Git because you need your changes to be understandable and usable by other people.

I dunno if this is the right thing for team based coding projects. I think we just need something like Git with:

* A saner CLI

* Proper support for large files

* Proper support for submodules

* Better conflict resolution

I think Pijul goes some way towards some of those, especially the last one, and maybe submodules.
AI arguably accomplishes this using some form of abstraction though does it not?

Or, consider the art word broadly, artists routinely engage in various forms of unusual abstraction.
> Instead of modifying the PDF file (which kind of is against the point of PDF files in the first place, the point is the file looks the same in all devices)

I, as a reader, don't care about this. I want the document to be the most readable on all devices.
I'd go exactly the opposite direction: If the browser is the only important thing, surely it's best to have as little overhead to running that browser - every byte of memory wasted on something else is a byte the browser could have used (and it needs enough of them!), every running process uses time and battery that the browser could have taken, every additional package/program/library is security risk on top of the secure(ish) sandbox where your real (web)apps are running.
Apple's valuation is up over 1000% since Tim Cook became CEO. His greatest failing is that he isn't Steve Jobs, but most corporations would literally kill to have a bean counter like Tim Cook. Yes, he's in the hot seat, and Wall Street is very "What have you done for me today?", but I don't see shareholders calling for his head.

All empires fall, but today is not that day for Apple.
The roots of a polynomial vary smoothly as the coefficients vary. This is intuitively obvious. This is an important part of Abel's proof of the unsolvability of the quinitic. The probability of a random number being ambiguously real or complex has measure 0 (measure < epsilon, for all epsilon > 0), so you can ignore all computationally ambiguous cases. You don't need an exact calculation of any specific polynomial's root, to get the right answer of the measurement over all polynomials.

Show HN: Monty – Chat with Your Code
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=AI-Maint...

Hi HN, we built Monty: a VS Code extension that connects your code with an LLM.

We designed Monty to be privacy friendly: your chat messages are sent directly to your LLM (bring your own key) and we use a local index for RAG (as opposed to a remote service for embedding/storage).

If your company restricts tools that send code to 3rd party servers then maybe Monty is for you.

Monty supports multiple LLM providers: OpenAI and OpenAI-compatible providers (including Groq and Ollama), Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google AI Studio.

Monty has a chat-style interface with 2 main context options:
- (default) Chat using user-specified code context
- Chat using automatic code context (RAG)

Monty doesn’t restrict token usage. For example, if you are using gpt-4-turbo with a 128k token limit you are free to utilize all of it. Load huge files or dozens of functions/classes into the code context and ask whatever you want.

You can use Monty for free if you bring your own API key. Without an API key new accounts get 40 chat messages on us.

We’d love to get your feedback. For more information check out our website https://www.ai-maintainer.com/ or post a question here.

It really depends on where you move to and where youre from.

Also, let's not sweep discrimination under the rug. It's ugly and wrong all around. Some places worse than others, but it's still bullshit and shouldn't be tolerated, especially when it comes to employment.
D&D is fun because it is a social experience. There’s also a level of expected player etiquette. If you want to go off the rails and completely ignore the party and plot, you’ll probably be kicked out of the group. D&D is fun, but the vast majority of campaigns are cut short and unfinished.

Perhaps you've missed the point.

The iPhone in this use case has multiple limitations that make no sense in the use case where it is a glorified sensor.

You can't swap the memory out, the memory is limited to begin with, you can't use attachments like monitors and other gear, etc.

If you're going to end up renting a huge professional rig to attach a sensor to it to get the same results as a typical FF or even APS-C camera, you've lost the message.

In other words, "that rig is so big yet comes with so many limitations that it's foolish to not just use any normal camera body"

They already did that - it was a core plank of Abenomics.

> raise the retirement age to 70+

Highly unlikely. It would be politically untenable and the LDP is dependent on a coalition with Komeito, which is heavily in favor of the welfare state.

It won't get better. Same abuse but with a different name.
Sure, which is why I opened with the important bit: “Companies are legally required to break out VAT taxes on a bill”
It was great, but when I use it there’s little bits of accumulated polish here and there that I feel the absence of (e.g. inertial scrolling, which as it turns out is something I use heavily).

Would love it if someone were to build a desktop that uses 10.4/10.5/10.6 as its design basis and then adds that missing polish.
I don't care about the argument. I find it funny that a lot of people believe that a giant hydraulic press looks like that and is installed in an environment that looks like the engine room of a spaceship in a SciFi movie.

It is a tangent observation.
Sounds like manufacturing is getting better at reducing waste, since they’re able to use less material per can.

Yes, you should recycle, but we all know that not everyone does.
That can be said for most of all tech companies who are just trying to sell you shiny app that will supposedly fix all your problems.
These court rulings mainly rely on laws around freedom of expression which sometimes contain some quirks around the possibility of being able to prove something. The courts didnt declare AfD politicians fascists.

Outside of crypto and tech circles, the gaudy-ass NFT icons and pointless integrations were all anyone would talk about. Twitter users were lucky to get 3 features a year, and towards the end of Dorsey's tenure all 3 of those features would be crypto-focused. It was an obviously failed integration that Dorsey continues to advocate for on platforms that work perfectly well without it.

> why I love birth rates declining: makes labor scarce and forces the better treatment of those still in the labor force

I'd like to have Social Security benefits in 30-40 years tbh, so not a fan of potentially declining birth rates. That said, immigration is absolutely our superpower, and something we need to support.
Yeah, just like e. g. flexbox doesn't solve any unsolved problems, you can do any layout with JavaScript.

The problem with dropdown is that it has an immense variety of use cases which is difficult to generify. Still, I'm happy we have a basic native Select element, it's competely fine for 8/10 use cases, and okish for 1/10.

OTOH, I believe that a popover is a much more generic feature and most you'd like to customize is styling.
We use it for our nfs servers.
Very secure, but the file cache is still nerfed.

Yes, America was extremely racist.

But contemporary examples, especially against immigrants, contrasted against immigrants to mono cultural countries, would be much more relevant to the point I am making.

120-180 EUR a month per child doesn't even cover half the costs of a child.
tl;dr generate documentation based off of the code automatically.

My solution might be more applicable to back end python dev (not sure about frontend or other languages), but where I work we have 2 systems for generating documentation based off of code.

1. OpenAPI specs. All our code uses the generated clients.
2. I built a system that has a step in CI/CD that checks the docstrings of the functions/methods to make sure it matches the mypy-enforced function signature, along with some other regex-filters.

As for more high level interactions between software (like a graph view of connected pieces of code), you would probably have to use an LSP which could get hairy.

As for the confluence part, there's probably a working terminal interface (3rd party tool, haven't tried any) that would let you upload the result of all that.
The "documentary" tone of this one makes it way less bad than the Apple.
"Shot on DSLR" films are also like this. There's a camera body in there somewhere, and $100k worth of junk hanging off it in every direction, and the focus is being operated remotely by a guy with a 30" display.
Are you and your friends men? Unfortunately, the people who truly produce the next generation are largely absent from places like Hacker News, and history seems to show that, once they have any other options, spending 15-30 of their prime years doing the energetic equivalent of 40 consecutive Tour de Frances 9 months out of every 18, while being entirely dependent on a physically larger, stronger person who may or may not have legal and/or social sanction to beat you, is less appealing than living the way you and I live, as we please.

I'm guessing the only thing that will ever reverse this will be the invention of artificial wombs.

For what it's worth, I'm personally on board with having as many children as possible. Life is a cherished miracle. But I also can't bear children and take no risk in this endeavor.
The outrage is far out of proportion to anything a commercial enterprise could possibly do.

I don't think the destruction of a few objects is really a big deal. Personally, this commercial is a metaphor for what big tech companies have done to culture and society in general. They have undermined the diversity of human experiences by creating a sterile product that is economically superior despite lacking soul. In the same way AI will undermine humanity, not by being superior but by being cheaper and 'close enough'.
Thanks for this. Your current features plus mobile synchronization will be awesome. I'm a researcher in industry. My current workflow is primarily in zotero. But definitely needed a better tool to synthesize notes from multiple papers in a high-level notebook. So this will be ideal.

I use an eink device (kindle scribe) for reading papers as well. Right now, the syncing between this device and the rest of the knowledge base is manual. It'll be perfect to have this also integrated into the workflow smoothly somehow.
Cryptography is kind of an issue . Certain protocols that by now are expected aren't supported by Java 6.
I tend to agree. Most people have no idea that every commercial or film, ends up dumping or destroying almost all the stuff in the video.

I remember there was a Scene in one of the more recent mission impossible movies where the director was interviewed as joking about how they budgeted to destroy 3 lamborgini's for a action sequence but ended up needing to destroy 4 of them. These were brand new, straight off the lot lambos that just got shot at, crashed, and blown up for the movie. No one cries about that, instead they marvel at the "practical effects" of the movie.

This isn't even a unique example. A lot or props that DON'T get destroyed and are just used for one quick scene, like a chello in the background, often go straight to the dump after the scene is filmed, because they just bring in a dump crew to get rid of everything.

I guess the difference is ignorance is bliss. People don't see the amount of absurd waste that happens in commercials and movies, so they can enjoy it. Strangly, even seeing it on screen (like a car blowing up) doesn't bother them. But a slow crushing of an instrument for 20 seconds does trigger them.

The amount of waste that this produced is inconsequential, not even a rounding error for the amount of waste that a warehouse up the street from anyone reading this is performing as you read this comment. And yes, there are so many of these companies creating unfathomable amounts of waste that no matter where you live, you have one probably within a few miles of your home that you never knew about.

I would tend to side with those that are triggered if these instruments were antiques that couldn't be replaced. However, these appeared to be common instruments. I actually play guitar and the guitar actually looks like a pretty cheap guitar. These get bought at Costco and returned and dumped everyday. They are commodities, they are pumped out of factories en masse in Vietnam and contain a hundred bucks of parts, wood, etc. Most of these guitars end up in the dump anyway. The upright piano is a little different because they tend to be several thousands of dollars, but again this looks like a modern, generic piano.

I am happy to have discussions about the vast amount of waste humans have, because it is truly unfathomable. Most people have no idea how bad the problem is. But watching some paints, a metronome, a single guitar and piano get destroyed is not even the beginning of the real problem. So if we want to have a discussion about waste, let's have it. It's a serious problem, but this feels like a joke that a handful of items that doesn't even equate to what an average American probably dumps when they move houses, seems like a stupid hill to die on.

It's hard to remove this ad from the context of the current market for artistic services, which have always been undervalued by non-artists (eg: "give me this for free so you get exposure!"), which is under assault from AI startups that think they're making the world better by killing the most human parts of our economy.

Artists are really being stung by AI right now. And Apple, ostensibly the darling tech company for artists, puts out an ad literally crushing artistic tools and telling you to buy an iPad to replace them. By the way, it has the most powerful neural engine ever.

It's not just tone deaf, it's insulting.
Massively overpromising unachievable things. From wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic:_The_Revolution

Initial previews of Republic in 2000 focused upon the purported level of detail behind the game's engine, the "Totality Engine". Described as "the most advanced graphics engine ever seen, (with) no upper bound of on the number of polygons and objects", it was claimed the game could "render scenes with an unlimited number of polygons in real time".[14] Tech demonstrations of Republic at this time showcased a high polygonal level of detail,[21] with the claim that players would be able to zoom smoothly from the buildings in Novistrana to assets such as flowers upon the balconies of buildings with no loss of detail.[22] The game was further purported to have artificial intelligence that would simulate "approximately one million individual citizens" at a high level of detail,[23][19] each with "their own unique and specific AI" comprising "their own daily routine, emotions, beliefs and loyalties"

I feel like it's always worth bearing in mind when he talks about upcoming capability.
