Cook desperately wants to be seen as more than a caretaker post-Jobs. His only success so far is making stockholders happy but "Best Bean Counter Ever" isn't an epitaph he wants so he's plowed tens of billions of dollars into the now dead Apple Car project and tens of billions into the Vision Pro. Cook's plan was for one or both of those products to cement his legacy as a product genius like Steve Jobs, but despite having cash resources Jobs could never even have dreamed, Cook's two big product initiatives are both a complete bust.

The board made him pick between the Car and the Vision Pro and he picked the AVP because it was closer to market and aligned with his view on Apple's computing platform progression. Too bad for him both of his projects were awful ideas for Apple.

Oh, and to the sycophants, Apple cranking out couple of successful iPhone accessories and services, nice to haves that compliment Steve Job's iPhone, does not make Tim Cook a product leader. It makes him minimally competent as business leader who didn't totally break Job's Apple organization immediately. Watch and Air Pods are accessories, like a keyboard or a monitor. No one celebrates Jobs because he shipped a decent mouse one time.
If you look at the description in TFA, it sounds like this isn't a proper stylesheet, it's a heavy Invert Colors implemented specifically for Wikipedia.

If we're going to be indiscriminately inverting colors and trying to piece the page back together anyway, I strongly recommend using Dark Reader [0] instead and getting the benefits of this globally. It's open source and very good. I installed it when I first got an Android phone that supported dark mode and haven't even really noticed it since then, it's just as though every webpage in the world started respecting my phone's global dark mode toggle.

Reasons I use Loom:
- Social features, users can comment & engage with my video to provide feedback

- Analytics, I get notifications when a user views a video (useful for demos/sales)

- Post-capture editing

- Set 1.X speed by default on videos (significantly reduces video length)

I don't find the capturing element of loom very good. Their chrome integration is pretty bad, seems to not handle clicking/changing pages when capturing a tab.

I recently started using Screen Studio and have really liked it.

Autism is a spectrum disorder, but while you may be picturing it as a continuum from less autistic to severely autistic, with nonverbal autistic people at one end and high functioning autistic people on the other, that is not the reality of autism.

Here is a good blog post written by someone, with a graphic that shows the difference between how people think of autism versus how others experience it.

https://themighty.com/topic/autism-spectrum-disorder/autism-...

As they write, this means some autistic people who are nonverbal can go to college, while the author doesn’t have that capacity despite being verbal.

I’ve seen many times in this thread people pointing toward nonverbal autistic people as a reason we should try to cure autism. But it’s not clear to me that people here even understand autism enough to be forming opinions on what we should do to “fix” it. I think if someone is not autistic they should first try very hard to understand a variety of autistic experiences before forming an opinion on what to do about it.

As for me, to answer the original question my neighbor growing up was nonverbal. We used to play legos together. He could communicate, but he didn’t talk and he didn’t like being touched.
I don’t know if Copilot has made me more productive, I think I get the same stuff done, but I think it has made getting the stuff done more enjoyable. At times with better quality at times with worse probably.

Well you do you too, but in an org shipping a product I couldn't see this sort of thing working.

> I grant that has been the prevailing view for about thirty years or so

This is true, and in fact it's something I have tried to push back on. I've tried this sort of thing. I've tried to push more things into the database. I've tried things like pushing more logic into the database, or pushing more into the frontend webserver, etc, and my conclusion is that it doesn't work.

> this is not that there are technical obstacles to the approach under consideration, but rather that there are social obstacles

The way I see it is that there are no technical obstacles if you assume zero cost of development. If we value our time at zero we can make all of this work, and in some cases in nicer ways. This is how I feel as a hobbyist software developer, but I learnt early on in my career as a software engineer that this is not viable at work. Optimising for development time, and optimising for product flexibility or requirements changes, are almost always worth doing (and yes I realise those are in tension with each other).

Moving more logic to the database like this, or eschewing a logic layer entirely in favour of configuration, may feel like an elegant solution, but I've been bitten by these sorts of things too many times. I'll take a little boilerplate, something a junior engineer will understand, and a bunch of flexibility for product direction, any day.
So basically Google Glass with modern technology and without the social issues of having a camera pointed at everyone you talk to?

I imagine it would be very successful if it's marketed as a sports product. See your current heart rate and movement speed without taking your eyes from the track, that kind of stuff.
Exactly. If you choose the approach with no tech debt but takes twice as long, how are you going to hide that from your manager?
Any tips for an English speaker trying to learn Cebuano? It's demoralizing making an attempt using some online resources, and then finding out that they don't actually say it that way because of regional or even generational differences.
This made me think: the thing Microsoft has been good at for a very long time is developer tools. Think about how much better visual studio is was than Xcode.

If Microsoft focuses copilot on simply making things more enjoyable rather than do the work for you, I think it will be an amazing thing.

from a quick glance it adds

invert(1) hue-rotate(180deg)

to HTML style. What indeed works, but is a bit sloppy way to do a dark mode. Making usable colour palate and adjusting typography for inverted mode takes little more effort, sadly.
Vocabulary is of course super important, but what's even more important is how you learn the vocabulary. Memorizing single word translations is worse than useless, as words are not used in the same way in different languages. What I'm using is curated input with dialogues etc. which are constructed within a fixed set of vocabulary, so by listening to (and reading) it all you eventually get through a lot of vocabulary and after a while every new episode is easily understood: Time to shift more of the attention over to the next level (more vocabulary and longer dialogues).

(As for English, I learned all my vocabulary by reading. I was reading for the purpose of reading, learning English was not the goal at all)

i used PyPDF2 to implement some tools, but not all of them.
From my experience, Github Copilot is useful for its seamless autocompletes. But Github Copilot chat, a new feature, noticeably lags behind GPT-4. I get far better performance copying and pasting code into ChatGPT (GPT-4) than using Github Copilot. Both definitely help productivity, especially when generating code using an unfamiliar framework or library. It's great for generating skeleton code for small programs using new libraries, but it in its current form can only get you around 80% of the way there. You will spend hours fighting with the prompt to try and get the remaining 20% complete when it's much easier to just finish it yourself.
Never thought it would get any attention :D Not sure what to do with it but I love your ideas. I guess one of the first things is to add crowdsourcing as someone else also mentioned. Though I'm about to get a new client so less time for these projects :(

Show HN: AI-Powered Food Logger
Hey HN!

A few months ago I was dealing with some minor IBS-related things and wanted an easy food tracker to figure out which foods were causing issues. I didn't like the available apps so I took a stab at building my own which uses voice recognition instead of typing as an input method. It seemed like a much simpler and faster way to log meals and whatnot.

Fast forward to today, the MVP is ready. There are a bunch of features I could add, but I'd love to hear feedback first from people that want to use this.

It's free for now as it's still in beta. Please do log in and start using it. It's a PWA and designed for mobile.

Side-note: one UX thing I like is the instant sign-up process. Its the same as login--a phone number input and a verification code. If you don't have an account, it creates one behind the scenes without doing a sign-up process. Not all apps can get away with no KYC but I think it's great for something like this. Curious to hear contrary viewpoints.

Thank you for any feedback

There's reports of Aurora's in Puerto Rico. Last time they were seen this far south was 103 years ago.

This is a new excerpt from the news station "Primera Hora"

I've been finding this stuff genuinely useful for two years now, across Copilot and ChatGPT and Claude 3 Opus and similar tools.

They've completely changed vacations for me. No longer do I have to look at <event> through my phone. I can be much more present - I can see it with my actual eyes and just be confident that the memory will be captured. The image/video quality is quite good.

The audio quality is also surprisingly good - I can listen to music while still enjoying the nature around me (in a way I like more than passthrough on the AirPods.)

I don't really care for the AI, but maybe one day they'll give us Llama 3 400b and it'll be good too.
Nice! Some good insights thank you.
> I recommend you re-read what I wrote in my post to see the whole point of undefined behavior and its critical importance. It is high time that this misconception is put to rest.

Uhmmm, did you read what I said? I ask because it looks like a red haze descend after descended after you read the first few words. I've been writing C for 40 years. I know why C made integer overflows UB. It seemed perfectly sensible to me. That's why I didn't mention it. I'm not sure why you brought it up. In the article it says this:

Third, there are no integer overflow games going on here, as long as the code is compiled for a platform where an int is at least 32 bits. This is easy to see by inspecting the program. The termination problems are totally unrelated to integer overflow.

The thing I was discussing was C++ defining a infinite loop as UB. I'm not alone in thinking that was a bad idea. In the C standardisation group apparently also thinks that, because they are UB in C. You can check that for yourself: compile the Fermat program with gnu C and it behaves sanely. Compile it with gnu C++ is it gets the wrong answer. clang behaves identically. The author of the article also thinks it's amazing:

In other words, from the point of view of the language semantics, a loop of this form is no better than an out-of-bounds array access or use-after-free of a heap cell. This somewhat amazing fact ...

So yes, I'm firmly in the camp the C++ committee lost the plot here.

I think the way C and C++ handles UB belongs to a bygone era. In their defence when I was writing C 40 years ago there was no choice. Checking if every integer operation overflowed imposed an unacceptable performance penality. While today in languages like Rust compilers statically check for UB at compile time, back then C compilers were barely more than overblown assemblers. UB simply meant "you get what the hardware gives you". Notice that means on a given arch there was no real undefined behaviour. I knew perfectly well what would happen on x86 if an integer overflowed, I know whether a char was signed and I wrote my programs accordingly, sometimes deliberately exploiting what I knew would happen. UB only bit you hard when you ported your program.

What happened is compiler writers seeking to squeeze every last bit of performance pushed "undefined" to mean "since it's undefined, I can do whatever I damned well please", and with C++ and infinite loops they've managed to push that beyond absurdity. Meanwhile other languages have gone in opposite direction. Rather than giving programmers more rope to hang themselves with they've got runtime and compile time checks that either outright band undefined behaviour, or warn you about it.
That makes error driven development difficult. I think a compiler should attempt to emit one error message per human error
Weird, because Copilot chat /is/ GPT-4 as far as I know. Or maybe they run it on 3.5?

I reposted with the Associated Press version because the source of this info was too distracting previously, and discussed instead of the topic at hand.
> If it's physically grounded then it would be computable by some machine, just not necessarily a Turing machine.

What makes you think that? The overwhelming majority of functions aren’t computable. The evidence suggests, if anything, that the universe is uncomputable and at best some isolatable well-measured specific phenomena can have approximations computed to some arbitrary but inexact precision.

Adding to RodgerTheGreat's comment: for me, k's power is its rich set of adverbs that are convenient to write.

Notice that aside from reverse (monadic |), all verb symbols in the above code are in most other languages (max as |, min as &, plus as +, minus as -). Adverbs (such as / for reduce and \ for scan-reduce) make the symbols we already have more generally applicable.

I think a language could go a long way with a small set of basic arithmetic symbols alongside a rich set of adverb symbols.
It runs both. Had seen this on the discussions on Github.

Preemptively insulting people is not the sort of thing which is done by people who are secure in their own opinion.
I think the discrepency is that the market isn't for people who can code, it's for people that can think like engineers. Coding is the easiest part of the job. Developing tools and products that are a force multiplier for the business is what people get hired to do, not write code.

That's not to say that there shouldn't be a division of labor between software engineers and techs. The analog I like to draw is that mechanical engineering has many skilled labors involved with distinct roles in an organization/market (mechanics, machinists, maintenance for both, as well as the engineers). But the software industry is so young that we haven't figured out what those verticals are for developers, and the bean counters(\s) all view us as coders because we type at a keyboard.

Superb Owl season!
I think you're saying "it's the thought that counts" and it's good enough that they thought to get you something, even if the idea comes from an app?

But then why use an app at all then, you could get them a used bottlecap and "it's the thought that counts"
They didn't say that. They said they wrote the first version in a few days, using ChatGPT. Then worked on it almost another year since then. Something of that nature. Pretty big difference.
Firstly, thanks for engaging in earnest with my response.

> Walter Benjamín and Hannah Arendt - and if they aren't considered progressive then I'm not sure what could be.

This reads almost like a joke to me, because neither of these thinkers are radical any longer. "American Pragmatism" is "about as progressive a bunch as I think you could reasonably ask for?"

It was my mistake to use a meaningless word like "conservative," whose antithesis in my mind would be Galeano, Fanon, Federici, or Freire.
What is interesting that there is palette for dark mode present in loaded stylesheet reacting to OS or browser preference, but it is set to take effect only while HTML has a certain class. It can be added from devtools

It looks very similar to the invert one, but has way better colouring of the code blocks and box titles, from a quick glance.

It is a problem with this community. Until recently kdb+ was like this with barely any documentation. They've come a long way in recent years though on the website and there is at least one book published.

With regards to Kerf, I don't know much of the history. I think the Kona developer (Lawler?) and Scott Locklin tried to make a company like kdb+, but it never worked out.

Dyalog APL and J both have decent doc.

Don’t know if that helps but hopefully you know there is a lot of life even after 40.
