> But why wouldn't an iPad air work just as well for all these use cases?

I don't remember whether it had USB-C at the time or not, but it definitely didn't have Thunderbolt, which is a requirement for me.

> Samsung

Same with thunderbolt, but also I can't stand Samsung's version of Android. I wish Pixel Slate kept evolving. The Android tablet experience in general isn't great. Blink terminal is 12/10 experience, there is no app like that for Android. However, on Samsung, I would be able to just install NixOS in VM on the tablet, so there is that.

> Cool that it works, but that is very far from out of box experience.

Well, yes, but first it's just one cable and a game pad that I already had. I didn't buy any of those things specifically for the iPad. For me, it was an out-of-the-box experience.

I'd like to mention that when I got my iPad Pro, I had zero apple products at my house.
I don't really think the ownership-related concerns around thread-local storage that ruled out stackful coroutines are valid. Stacks and threads are orthogonal in the same way that futures and threads are orthogonal in the existing design for async. This design has caused a proliferation of dozens of fundamentally non-composable libraries addressing barely-different use cases and leaving many use cases unaddressed, likely wasting much more time than it would have taken to get this right. Various prior art has existed for decades.

I accept that languages that are designed collaboratively by huge numbers of people through an RFC process are basically impossible to improve.
We should be thankful that we live in the universe that obeys math simple enough to comprehend that we were able to reach that level.

Imagine if optis was complex enough that it would require ML model to predict anything.

We'd be in permanent stone age without a way out.
Google in 2004 didn't have YouTube or GSuite or Android. It was not a cloud provider. They did not have a de-facto monopoly on search. It hadn't even acquired DoubleClick yet. It was only just emerging as a major Internet advertiser. It didn't have a lot of things we now take for granted.
> Not the point. Who's leading? That's the point.

No, the point is, who cares as long as everyone is happy with the direction?
This is wild! What have you found it most useful for?

Have you tried a more straightforward approach that follows the ChatGPT model of being able to fork a chat thread? I could use something like this where I can fork a chat thread and see my old thread(s) as a tree, but continue participating in a new thread. Your model seems more powerful, but also more complex.
+1. We came to a similar conclusion when we were working on this idea.
It's marketing puffery, basically. I refer to myself as a "software engineer" when I'm talking to people who expect that to be the term to mean "experienced developer" (it's good to speak the language your audience understands), but I prefer to call myself a "developer".
People love these proposals until they read the details and think of the consequences. Anything that requires "robust age-checks" means that everyone using the site must go through an ID check and validation process. No more viewing anything without first logging in via your ID-checked account

> 1. Carry out robust age-checks to stop children accessing harmful content

> Our draft Codes expect much greater use of highly-effective age-assurance[2] so that services know which of their users are children in order to keep them safe.

> In practice, this means that all services which do not ban harmful content, and those at higher risk of it being shared on their service, will be expected to implement highly effective age-checks to prevent children from seeing it. In some cases, this will mean preventing children from accessing the entire site or app. In others it might mean age-restricting parts of their site or app for adults-only access, or restricting children’s access to identified harmful content.

Before people try to brush aside these regulations as only applying to sites you don't think you use, the proposal is vague about what is included in the guidelines. It includes things like "harmful substances", meaning any discussion of drugs or mushrooms could be included, for example.

Think twice before encouraging regulations that would bring ID checking requirements to large parts of the internet. If you enjoy viewing sites like Reddit or Hacker News or Twitter without logging in or handing over your ID, these proposals are not good for you at all.
Looks cool! How can I host it?
It is quite possible that the lack of actual intelligence in the LLM is the obstacle in this context.

I also just queried something with "perplexing" results in fact, but I tried the "generic" "knowledge" instead of the "specific" about coding: in the reply the engine included good pointers, but clearly without knowing why they were especially relevant - relevance which instead appeared in the linked references.

It is an LLM+RAG based search engine: the value is only partly in the summary, which could even be misleading - as expected from lack of actual intelligence -, the value is in the linked resources.

In other words, it "understands" your query better that a search engine of the past - and that is valuable. But for the actual solution you are querying for, the "summary" part could be good or could be defective: it is probably best to consult the linked material... Material that you could have not found immediately otherwise - it could have been tricky with past technology to express your need in a way that makes you obtain good search results.
Quake internet play only became acceptable when client side prediction was implemented, I'm sure it would be better to have real prediction instead of simple interpolation.

That's kind of an interesting issue, I wonder if different tokenization would help. Like maybe putting a space between GTK and the number would put them in separate tokens and give better output.

More generally, do text AI's not support weighting terms like the image AI's do? Over in Stable Diffusion that sounds like something where I'd add a weight like "How do I create a <GTK3:1.2> interface in <PHP:1.1>?"

There wouldn't be any disabled veterans if there wasn't a military industrial complex pushing for war all over the globe. The last time America fought a defensive war was WW2, almost a century ago, and if there was no military industrial complex it wouldn't have fought any wars since then.
Ah yes, very good!

More such tools are needed that make common strace tasks more convenient.

strace is the ultimate debugging tool to dive into almost every problem where a program doesn't do what you want, but its stream based nature and lack of scripting doesn't make all tasks convenient. Most importantly, you can't really "program" with it.

Some time ago, I started implementing "strace as a library" in Haskell, to get an easy-to-process stream of syscalls/signals as an ADT, so that one can easily build features on top of it, e.g. a tree of fork()ed/execve()'d child processes. That's point "special run modes tailored to specific tasks (e.g. execve tree)" from https://github.com/nh2/hatrace. I haven't gotten as far as I'd like yet, because I'd like to first explicitly support all Linux syscalls, and build the features on top of that afterwards. And some features are not so easy, e.g. reading memory of the traced process (which strace does to do e.g. show what data was `read()`).

From that experience, I applaud anybody who makes good use of ptrace() -- that man page is not the easiest to read!
> same 'ol trope of leveraging capital to take future returns wildly disproportionate to the value actually added

As far as I know, book publishing isn't a high-margin business. Fronting capital to publish an author is quite risky and they deserve to make a profit. What they cannot be allowed to do is choke off ownership and make us all renters.
A single massive and unreadable regex isn't an appropriate way to validate a spec that complex. With its complexity it can't be logically evaluated- only tested, whereas a function that breaks the spec out into steps/parts is going to be a lot more maintainable, readable, and auditable.
> I don't really like any of these options. I think music is the closest thing to where we have "solved" this problem -- streaming music is inexpensive enough and widespread enough that music piracy is essentially a non-issue.

Have we solved it? Streaming platforms are great as a consumer, but they have serious drawbacks: some content is just not available there, content can disappear from your "library" or playlists due to licensing changes, and the economics stack the deck against smaller artists in favor of "unicorn" successes.
If the author reads this, since it's from 2020. The author appears to be currently investigating knot physics and drop tests.

However, the author does not "appear" to have the Luff Tackle variation. [1] I think it's close to the 6:1 variation on row two, except with the pulley directly attached to the ceiling.

The systematic approach seems to work, just appears to be missing a few combinations, or it was not really systematic. Such as, their should probably be a lot of pulley combinations that are basically "nothing", or "not helpful" combinations. 1:1, or 1/2:1, ect... combinations that just noted as discarded (or maybe curiosities that "might" have a use)

A 1:1 pulley is not "technically" significant from this perspective, yet it does change the force direction.

You still weigh the grounds? The difference with eyeballing it is probably too negligible to be noticed.
I would assume that given enough hints from AI and if it is deemed important enough humans will come in to figure out the “first principles” required to arrive at the conclusion.

I think its inarguable that Hamas instigated the conflict that flared up on October 7 (I think its fair to call it a war, just to put it in the same bucket as other high-level conflicts in the region, and in contrast with the lower level conflict that's defined everyday life in Palestine/Judea since at least 1948). Whether or not that instigation was justified, and whether or not Israel was justified in its response, are more complicated questions I don't want to address here. I'm not super interested in having that latter discussion here, since it will primarily trigger an upvote/downvote cycle, without adding to the discussion about urban warfare.

I am only highlighting that deriding Hamas' current tactics as a cynical new low is pointedly ahistoric (even in the context of Palestine/Judea), and that its sort of hypocritical to only criticize the side using human shields, and not the side shooting at/through the human shields.
> why should I have to do that

Because you're the parent?

Yeah you can't monitor 100% of the time but like.. moderating your child's experiences is kind of part of the job isn't it?

Edit:
I'm not saying the tech companies have no responsibility at all here, but surely the parent is the final responsibility in these matters?

When I was a kid if I went over to a kid's house and their parents let us watch R rated movies or whatever, if my parents didn't like that they would talk to the parents. If that didn't change, I wasn't allowed to go over there anymore

Why not the same with YouTube? If YouTube won't change, isn't it your responsibility to remove access?
I don't know Paul Adams, so it's hard for me to know how to interpret your post. Is there anything else I can read that discusses the accuracy of AlphaFold?
this is a _very_ false dichotomy
In my view, we need legislation to step in and enforce some level of algorithmic tuning. Modern algorithms drive engagement at all costs, regardless if it's healthy for the individual. I want to be able to tune the algorithm to potentially use a timeline feed instead, or limit content to only come from topics I subscribe to, etc. We probably need parental controls that allow parents to enforce algorithm tuning as well.

A recent example of an algorithm going wrong is Reddit. Home used to show you strictly a feed of reddits you subscribed to, and it was shown as a timeline. The most recent changes not only removed the timeline approach to the feed, it's now injecting subreddits you don't subscribe to and asks if you're interested in them.
Great article, thank you. Sad, but unsurprising, that he lost it all in the end.
At the risk of sounding out of touch - I think public libraries should get out of lending e-books altogether. Instead use that money to buy more paperbacks and physical books. It's never been easier to search for a book, place a hold on a book using the libraries' websites.

If more people start showing up in the libraries and use them - they'll continue to flourish. If they become a Netflix for books - they're not going to survive.

> no one seems to ask if the problems are equally bad in other countries, especially in non-English speaking countries.

Oh hell yes it is. Everywhere that Russia has interest in has been fraught with serious issues. Germany, Poland, France come to my mind - there have been reports concerning especially the spread of far-right and/or pro-Russian content for years now.

> I live in Norway and it doesn't seem that the problem is so severe here. Or is it simply that English speaking media is more willing to latch on to extreme events and make out that they are the norm?

You guys are simply too small to matter and have been in NATO from the start. In Sweden and Finland though, I had read reports of pro-Russian propaganda problems when they were in the process of joining NATO.

The unifying link is always Russia.

It's just math. If you are too lean and muscular, your density is much higher than if you have a higher body fat composition, but there's also an element for non-fat people and adults that they need to 1) hold their lungs more full than normal with diaphragmatic breathing, holding the breath in for longer, and exhaling more shallowly than a full exhale that they can apply, as well as 2) leaning back much farther and tilting your head back much more than you'd expect to have to. Legs sinking is a classic problem for swimmers that occurs due to body alignment issues and especially not leaning your head and neck far enough back.

You need to be an outlier to not be able to overcome a body composition / density problem with techniques #1 and #2 above though, without observing you no one can really say if you're applying those techniques properly.
First-sale doctrine doesn't give you a right to distribute multiple copies to other people, only the right to redistribute your copy. There's not much to adapt to the digital sphere: a digital sphere version would allow you to freely resell your copy, although to sell your copy, you would have to destroy your ability to use your existing copy.

Sure, it's possible someone can cheat the system. But that cheating is as illegal in that state of affairs as it is in the current state of affairs. And it's not like the current state of affairs has been all that effective in preventing such cheating!
You show up for 8 hours for 4 days, for the same pay as before.

And if the boss doesn't like it, you fork the business unit and seize control of all value production operations.

It's not a bad feature.
What if Steve Jobs wore green instead of black when announcing the iPhone? Would Apple still be the same company today?

Who cares? That's a stupid question, we can't possibly know and either way we can't change the past. What we CAN do is change how things are now and implement a union with Apple as it is today. Why postulate about the upbringing of the company and how things could have been different ideologically when that's not what the discussion is about? People just want job security, protection from abuse by their employer, and reasonably consistent raises to at least match inflation.
Something important to keep in mind: most people never experience just how twisted these recommendation algorithms can get, because each of us gets an experience tailored to our developed tastes.

But these algorithms will totally curate wildly disturbing playlists of content because it has learned that this can be incredibly addicting to minds unprepared for it.

And what's most sinister is how opaque the process is, to the degree that a parent can't track what is happening without basically watching their kids activity full-time.

Idk if OFCOM is implementing this right or not, but I think there would be a much greater outcry if more people saw the breadth of these algorithms' toxicity.
This means the stock goes up 10%, right?
Show HN: A real-time English Pronunciation feedback app
English is my second language, and I'm always conscious of my speech in order to detect when the listener is having trouble understanding my accent and mispronunciations. A few years ago, I gave an investor pitch, and at the end of the presentation, the investor corrected my pronunciation for a critical word that was the core of my business. I had been mispronouncing the word the entire time without even realizing it.

Recently, I've been interviewing for a few companies, and I decided to create an app for my personal use with two goals in mind.

* To practice for my technical presentations and detect/correct mistakes before the actual presentation
* To detect when my speech was unclear during the interviews and become more attentive to my pronunciation in those particular moments.

The app has been extremely helpful to me, so I cleaned it up and am sharing it for others to use. If you are preparing for a high-stakes presentation or conversation, this tool will help you practice and correct mispronunciation. I'm looking forward to hearing feedback. If you want to try it out, here's the link: https://real-time-pronunciation.web.app/.

"better and better models of the world" does not always mean "more accurate" and never has.

We already know how to model the vast majority of things, just not at a speed and cost which makes it worthwhile. There are dimensions of value - one is accuracy, another speed, another cost, and in different domains additional dimensions. There are all kinds of models used in different disciplines which are empirical and not completely understood. Reducing things to the lowest level of physics and building up models from there has never been the only approach. Biology, geology, weather, materials all have models which have hacks in them, known simplifications, statistical approximations, so the result can be calculated. It's just about choosing the best hacks to get the best trade off of time/money/accuracy.
Steve Albini, US alt-rock musician and producer, dies aged 61
My understating is that, while your eye can naturally spot a dependency over time in time series data, machines can’t. So as we did for imaging, where we pre-trained models to let machines easily identify objects in pictures, now we are doing the same to let machines “see” dependencies over time. Then, how these dependencies work, this is another story.
I knew Hacker News would be at the top of the list!

Very confused to why they're not just acquiring.

If they're representing 10% of revenue are they're doing a pilot and then considering outright buying them?
As an electronics hobbyist who operates at an even smaller scale (where the cost of a pushbutton itself is trivial), I could not agree more strongly with this. Physical buttons are, counterintuitively, an absolutely massive pain in the butt from a design point of view. I tend to use touch sensitive pads instead. It makes the firmware more complex but the physical design so much simpler.
iPad Air was created to make a new price category.

The iPhone SE exists because there is a market for this form factor. If you look at the specs, you would notice it uses hardware previously used by more expensive models.

> iPhone, iPhone Pro, iPhone Pro Max

Again, different customers for different form-factors. These phones differ more than just SoC in them.

You understand that having N different colors of iPads is different from having N different SoCs for the same model of an iPad.
The demo you shared shows you are creating child chat from the original parent chat. Have you tried something like connecting merging two child chats to create a subsequent child chat? Or maybe simply creating a child chat from a previous child chat?

The content you do not want your child to interact with is your personal decision, and of course, varies from parent to parent. There is no permutation of acceptable administrative oversight to this issue I can imagine that would satisfy everyone reasonably, nor is there one that would not have chilling effects on free speech.

When it comes to content that is illegal specifically - that of course, should fall on tech companies to moderate. But that is the exception, in my view.

In short, your child's oversight is not one-size-fits-all - it is strictly your business, and perhaps your school's and childcare professionals'.
Heh. Just yesterday I have released a cooking recipe site, which I made for my 89 year old mom, where she can post her recipes, or rather me with her, in a simple way.
Only ingredients and preparation sections exist as well as the ability to upload images.

At first I wanted to write it just for her, but then I thought, why not make it multi-user?

It's a MVP and I have just found a bug, can't edit the recipe language. I also need to add German and Serbo-Croatian translations.

There are no ads (for now, and should there be any, they will be minimal) and no nag screens, no tracking or other hostile bs.

What I find annoying when searching for a recipe it what you wrote, a huge initial wall of text about their ancestors and whatever, but before you can even read it, you have to either click through at least 1 cookie wall and sometimes even accept tracking or pay up.
