Zoom is a shockingly CPU consuming program. I know people have to use it, that’s been the case for me too, but it was easier to make sure I had a plug handy when using Zoom than trying to make it run well.

I think a review that use based around Zoom battery life is about as useful as one based around short circuiting the battery terminals.
Have you ever listened to the difference between a piano and a digital keyboard? The difference is night and day. Digital tech can only imitate the sound of a string piano, but it can never truly be the real thing.

its like smelling fresh apple pie vs smelling an apple pie car freshener. The idea gets across, but it can never be the same.

Tried it out for a minute and it crashed because I had a broken recursive symlink in my home directory:

1. Create a recursive symlink to itself: `ln -s test test`

2. open superfile and navigate to it.

Finland has a free nationwide RTK network. It’s nominally only for testing and R&D use, tho, and you have to renew your account every three months.

However, you can easily setup your own RTK base station for a few hundred bucks. Very convenient to use the free service to determine the static coordinates of your base station.
For e.g NOx with a high half-life, you are probably right that we are still increasing pollution. For short half-life pollutants like SO2 and CO, I would expect this means the actual atmospheric levels are decreasing.
Is it physically possible to mitigate this issue by placing some sort of lens on the screen, so you would need to actually focus "to far" in order to see it?

Maybe this whole saga is the ad, including controversy + fixit job. In reverse though it's still destruction... not a big deal because it's just an ad, but kind of oddly arrogant? Hard to describe. If a more peaceful but still Skynet-like entity made some kind of propaganda, it'd be something like this. Perhaps AI made this ad it has that vibe. I hope we see a making-of for the ad.
Is it still true? My Ryzen desktop is a lot faster than my M1 Mini. A laptop Ryzen won't be as fast as my desktop, but it should be close?

Regardless, it certainly feels like an own goal that AMD or Intel hasn't yet released a CPU with at least 256 bit wide on package RAM. They'd be able to capture a higher percentage of the BOM cost of the laptop if they did so on top of the speed benefits.
Professionals will never use a rig like that, and the implication when they say "shot with iPhone" is that by buying iPhone you'll be able to shoot something like that, so it is misleading advertising.
As someone who actually researched X I don't really see the problems with it. Xorg has some, but the X11 protocol seems to have fewer problems than the Wayland protocol.

For instance it already supports mixing windows with different colour modes, which can be used for HDR.

>Japan is a democracy and old people vote

I think when non-working gerontocratic voting block interests confronts with interests of tax paying workforce trying to keep head above water, the elderly are going to lose. When under 50 year olds have to decide between their reduction in their QoL / services vs neglecting the old, including their own kin, they're going to eventually chose to throw their kin under the bus. If problem is just structurally not resolvable (which IMO it's not), LDP will claw their way back from whoever the next DPJ upstart is after they fail. Which is to say, I can imagine JP getting some robots going, and some migrant worker for elderly care, but if neither is enough, I think more likely politics will over promise and underdeliver until elderly accept their lot because you can only push the young so much. It's going to take a few political cycles for people to accept the "normal", but if any "democracy" can rig the system to survive that process, it's LDP/Japan.

My take is Hugo is pretty good and crazy fast (written in Go) but I like Pelican because it is easy to customize in Python.
Minstrel "music" is perhaps problematic itself. On the one hand, you have music as an emergent property of the gathered individuals' culture and skills. That blurs when a tavern sings to a traveling minstrel rather than a neighbor. But professionals can enhance rather than displace. Consider European acting troupes traveling a US West steeped in discussion of Shakespeare. Or printed "poems" to be spread and read in support of real spoken poetry. And minstrels do collaborate with local players... but they can also displace. Something is lost to a community when the local kid or elder can no longer make a bit of money piping in the harvest. Or neighbors play the gather fiddles. When music becomes for a community a spectator sport, rather than something embedded. A train car singing together, versus an occasional platform busker. Like trust-fund kids who see strength of knowledge and skills as something to buy not build in themselves. Or a merchant who doesn't value strength of body for farming. And then there's the my-tower-is-taller-than-yours of court "professional music". With richly textured diversity, complexity, nuance, and surprise consequences, these can be hard to think and discuss clearly. Like struggling now to appreciate the impoverished isolation of people's un-musical experience of tunes before AR's ambient-rendezvous-and-collaborate jamming apps.
When people make dumb arguments and overreact, its perfectly fine to make fun of them for it.

I don't think the world is going to end because some people are upset about an ad.

But I absolutely am going to laugh at and belittle those who are having an extreme and irrational emotional reaction to something this dumb.

> Either address the arguments they're making to further the conversation, or deal with it.

You missed the other option. Dismiss them and make them feel bad and embarrassed for overreacting.
> In 298 the emperor Diocleziano split the empire

> The emperor Costantine I moved the capital

> and the latest Latin-born emperor of Byzant[]ium was Giust[in]iano in the 7th century.

This is a surreal approach to the names of historical figures. Diocleziano and Giustiniano are not their names in English, the language you're speaking, nor are they the actual names of the people. "Costantine" appears to be a hybrid of the modern Italian name Costantino with the English name Constantine, and analogously for "Costantinople".

> the latest Latin-born emperor of Byzanthium

> The crown of the byzanthine empire

There is no H in Byzantium, the Greek original uses a tau and not a theta, and the modern Italian noun and adjective are bisanzio and bizantino. I really can't figure out where you're getting this spelling.

> and the greek inhabitants of the eastern empire called themselves "Romei"

That isn't Greek; surely they called themselves rhomaioi?

What's up with the Italian imperialism from "epolanski"?
> It’s not like the workers that got their jobs replaced by an LLM cease to exist. Unless LLMs caused people to work more from home, or have fewer kids, I can’t see how they affected the environment positively.

Say you're improving computer vision detection of material defects. If you replace an old inefficient CPU-based algorithm running on a server drawing 500 watts with a detector network on an NVIDIA Jetson drawing 5 watts - in isolation you have drastically improved energy efficiency.

But what if, instead of being decommissioned, that server's CPU cycles are reallocated to some other task that still needs them? Was what you did still an improvement?

I don't have a definite answer for how we should think about it, but my gut feeling is yes. You've taken the energy requirements of a task from 500W to 5W, and thus decreased energy required per abstract unit of overall productivity. It happened to be realized as an increase in productivity (old job + new job now take roughly same energy as old job alone) rather than a decrease in energy usage, but even if only considering the environmental impact I think that's now a better position to be making progress towards green solutions.

LLMs need to either be extremely good with insane context or LLM output has to be conditioned by and translated into formal logic, like Prolog or Datalog to make sure it's compatible with the rules and state of the world, and determine which effect player and NPC actions have on the world.

For some reason, banana pricing is hyper competitive in Canada. We pay CAD$0.56/lb or US$0.41/lb. (Yes, we sell them by lb not kg).
No. The point is that it is deceptive advertising, and it is against Apple's self interest to do so. If customers are sold the idea that Apple marketing producers did all of this on an iPhone and not a big Hollywood studio camera lens setup, they expect to be able to do that at home. Same when they sell the iPad M4 as some kind of revolution like the first iPhone or the MacBook Air. They are squandering their hard earned reputation.

The sample size is very low, but it's quite the coincidence that the only rocky planet in our solar system with life is the only one with an oversized moon.
Not sure why anyone would compare a new flagship with a 5-year-old budget phone (at least if we're trying to avoid bias). Apple's cameras are good but not the best (if there is such thing as "best"), and competition is tight: https://www.dxomark.com/smartphones/#sort-camera

The main difference is nobody's running massive marketing campaigns for "Shot on Huawei" or "Shot on Pixel"

It's got to be more than just a typical speedbooster, given that they have to adapt a comparatively huge focal plane to a lens aperture about 3mm in diameter. The article speculates that they use some sort of lens relay system, perhaps with an aerial image rather than a ground glass intermediate, but doesn't provide any more information. I'd love to see a detailed technical explanation.
> When you use kibibytes, mebibytes, and so on, no one has to second-guess what you meant.

True! Because, for most people, I'd have to explain what the terms mean every time I use them.

Which is a problem. We have well-established meanings for "kilobyte", etc. That those meanings aren't in line with the SI prefix meanings don't inhibit clear and precise communication.

As someone who has a strong pedant bent, I can totally understand how pedantic people could object to the usage because it's not technically correct, but not the argument that the usage prevents clear and accurate communication.
Is the concept of credibility new to you?
No, this would be an adapter that creates a virtual image (the article calls this "aerial image", which is wrong), which you can then in turn look at with your eyes or another camera. Nikon used to sell this, search for "Nikon Lens Scope Converter". The difference with a speed booster is that those still create a real image, just with a different focus.
For my taste, the artistic part of the ad works, the marketing part awful.

The music, photography, … definitely triggers something in me, but is creepy AF. The irony though, is that the creepy feeling is the reality to me, digital tools seem to be crushing the analog ones. And I don’t mean it as something bad as I am old, but it is how I feel about it.
Not necessarily wrong, but also still a deflection. If the defense is purely that "advertising misleads," sure. But that is why I say you should at least be honest with the defense here.
I see these tools as complimentary. Sometimes Sentry &al don't capture a user session (blocking, didn't consent &c) and this tool acts as a nice fallback you can instruct the user to use rather than having to explain how to open dev tools and screenshot the console.

I'm in London and would have loved to be able to talk directly to the owner of the property. I tried to do that, I really did. So would the building manager.

I only found out the place was being used as an AirBnB when I knocked on the door to tell them their flat was leaking water into the main corridor and a guest answered. The host (which claims to be a management company) does its best to dodge any kind of communications. Their rentals are mismanaged illegal stays in central London, which AirBnB doesn't seem to care about addressing.

My understanding is that our building has a number of AirBnB rentals. Since it's hard to get them out, building management doesn't worry about it unless it becomes a maintenance or noise problem. In this case, my "neighbour" is such a problem, so the pattern is to call in the authorities until something happens.

When I asked the building manager about contacting AirBnB, they laughed out loud.
Apple won here. There will be no mass exodus, just engagement. That's what they aimed for, and that's what they got.
Suburbs are bad in terms of noise. The biggest sources of noise I heard were (gas-powered) lawnmowers, the weekly garbage trucks, snow plows, car traffic, and air conditioners.

> The original idea is sound: "we are squeezing all tools into the iPad".

Hard disagree. Yes, I do agree that a big part of the emotional reaction to the ad were seeing all these beloved tools of craftsmanship being destroyed.

But another underlying current is people reaching the conclusion that they do not want all of their individual, sometimes quirky tools being subsumed under a single flat silicon panel. I'll just speak for myself, but I often find myself craving more real, physical interaction and not just something that exists on a screen.

Some of us actually crave a little more of the chaotic, interesting world of WALL-E over the sleek perfection of EVE (which was, somewhat unsurprisingly, reviewed and blessed by Jonathan Ive).
I think it's fair to ask of any new program why to use it rather than an existing option. And there can be lots of reasons - more active development, new features, less buggy, smaller program (uses less disk/memory, easier to be less buggy), easier to install, easier to use, whatever. And the author of a program doesn't necessarily need to have an answer, especially not early on; programming is sometimes its own reward, and sometimes advantages only become obvious later. But as a user, yeah it's useful to know what advantage this thing has over all the other things that do the ~same stuff.

I'm not sure "peak baby" is a good thing, but agree with you that the other three peaks are encouraging.

The difference here is that there aren't C programmers who don't know about Rust, and since they're writing C, they have reasons they aren't using it. The same is not true of Zig. Some of the reasons not to be using Rust may be applicable (no specification comes to mind), others may not be.

I do agree that, on an even playing field, Nim should be considered when any of Rust, D, C++, or Go, are on the table. This is less true of C, and therefore, Zig. There's a difference between something being possible, and something being easy and pleasant.

There are also people using C, who really should be using some other language. Which is, in that case, probably not Zig. When you understand that C is the rational choice for some sorts of programming, you'll understand why Zig is a contender, in a way that the other languages we're discussing are not.
The difference is expectations - people buying professional cameras expect and are used to needing to buy additional gear. In this case, "shot on iPhone" is obviously intended to deceive consumers into believing something that isn't true.
This is the principle behind the lagrange point chosen for the James Webb Space Telescope. It's occluded from the brightness of the sun by the earth.
And ironically decreasing coal and fuel pollution decreases albedo causing faster warming which will persist for a few decades until things balance out. Less pollution is good, particularly when it comes to reductions in sulphur dioxide from bunker fuel and PM2.5 from coal emissions, but it does have side effects amounting to a couple of degrees Celsius of warming according to recent papers. Hanson's "Global Warming in the Pipeline" is a sobering read.
I won't downplay the heavy lifting the lens is doing, coming from almost 20 years with photography as my main hobby, but there's a lot more here that's worth mentioning that the lens isn't responsible for. Among others:

- Dynamic range
- Colour science
- Video output (as in, what codec is actually worked on in the editing room)

The idea that even a higher-end phone can put out ~12 stops of dynamic range while outputting ProRes with a log colour profile is notable, no matter how much work a Panavision lens is doing. It makes editing with industry-standard tools and getting a product comparable to what you'd get with dedicated photo/video equipment easier.

I think they serve different purposes.

Sentry/Bugsnag etc track code errors and exception. But sometimes for an user an error is not a code exception, but the software having the wrong behaviour.

Some examples:

> "I filled out the whole form but the submit button is not enabled"

> "The video should autoplay but is stuck loading"

Those things do not show up in Sentry logs.

Personally I have been using https://www.appmaildev.com/en/dkim most frequently as it allows direct input rather than sending mail which is often more convenient (ex: I am looking at a failing message).

My only complaint is that for direct input it will say passed if any DKIM signature is valid, instead of reporting each. This often results in an AWS SES signature hiding the result of the one for the correct domain.
I have an old X201 with OpenBSD. My setup on that machine is deliberately "gimped" with all ads and most JS blocked to make webpages load acceptably fast, and with the `apmd` enabled and hw.setperf at 10-20.

With a 3rd party 9-cell battery, I can easily get 4.5-5 hours runtime like this. I think the biggest power draw at this point is the display, since it's an older and less energy efficient panel.

Granted, most of my usage is either SSH'ing into another machine or X11 forwarding apps from another machine. I think with hw.setperf dialed up, SMT enabled, and the blockers turned off I'd be lucky to get 45 minutes of runtime...

Either way, not bad for a "museum" computer :)

This is more or less where my brain was heading. The utility of exactly once system is quite high. But the utility of coding knowing that it is at least once, hopefully, and if not we'll do a catch-up, means that I will code knowing that my work must be safe in an environment with these constraints.

The best argument I have for a postgres background worker queue is simplicity. You're already managing a db, why not have the db simplify your startup's infrastructure. Honestly, with heroku, sidekiq, and redis it isn't even simplifying. But for startups simplicity is useful so they can scale when they need to and avoid complexity when possible. But that's the only argument I'd make.
GUIs on Linux seem mostly fine in the sense that you can just use a tiling WM and terminals. Now you have a computer that you can use properly. You mostly use one terminal full screen, but if you have to you can pop open another one and they’ll arrange themselves nicely. Tmux can do this of course, but sometimes you have a nice tmux layout all set up and don’t want to mess with it.

Plus you can also open a web browser if you want to goof around and comment on HN.

And you’ll even have X installed if somebody manages to find some use for non-terminal programs (unlikely but we should admit the possibility).
