32 bit is still very common for smaller CPUs that aren't in the "application processor" class.

They are cheaper because they use less area, and they're also more memory efficient because pointers are all half as big. On these CPUs you don't have 4GB of RAM so you don't need a big address space.
No, the chilling effect is very different. One is a tragedy that needs to be brought to justice, the second one is never going to get any semblance of justice from its very principle.
Yes, I think some of the items here are reasonable but some of them (like full virtualization of desktop OS) don’t fit the iPad model. Just get a Mac at that point.
From a 2014 Wired article [0]:

I mean, when we talk about the Jovian planet we believe it has a core of solid metal hydrogen, the only real problem getting an oxygen planet is there is much more hydrogen/helium in the universe so that's what it's going to be made out of.
Basically, it is a hybrid model like Jamba.

> However, a nanosecond-scale plasma burst still contains a significant amount of energy; you don’t want to go walking through one of these displays, because it will burn you.

Yeah, i think that answers the headline question. Burning people is bad.
That "footage has not been modified" statement is probably to get ahead of any speculation that it was "cleaned up" in post, after it turned out that the Sora demo of the balloon headed man had fairly extensive manual VFX applied afterwards to fix continuity errors and other artifacts.
I use both Chrome and Firefox. Either it will reaffirm me that my preferred browser is indeed better, or I will find out what I have been missing out.

I might not have been running multiple browsers daily if any one browser is perfect, but currently some websites seemed optimized for Firefox while others seemed optimized for Chrome. (And a small handful of websites are actually better with Lynx).
It's also a part of their anti-trust defense strategy. Firefox staying alive as a marginal but existent alternative to chromium based browsers is currently good for google.
Not mocking you, but I'd make a guess you don't like to draw block diagrams when discussing designs or code architecture with others either? Some folks aren't "visual" thinkers, and took me a long time working to realize that some folks are like that.
how do you access http services locally?

is there a socks5 proxy or something I can configure in my web browser?
The $349 iPad is a fantastic tablet computer for mainstream users. I'm sure they sell a zillion of them.

It's not really clear who the iPad Pro is for, aside from people who want to watch videos on the best screen.
Every time I see someone wearing a Columbia jacket I think "were they once an employee or client of Sun?"
OpenAI hardly released gpt-4o. The demo yesterday was clearly a rushed response to I/O. It’s quite possible that Google will ship multi-modality features faster than OpenAI will.
Actually there is one in the last demo, it is not an individual one, but one shot in the demo where a team uses this model to create a scene with human in it, where they created an image of black woman but only up her head in it

I would generally agree though, it is not normal they didn’t show more human
I've had a lot of frustration getting the SPICE tools to work with slightly older Windows OSes (Windows 7 in my case), for what it's worth.
Kind of sucks to be google. Even they're making good progress here, and have laid the foundations of a lot if not most things.. their products are, well there aren't any noteworthy compared to rest. And considering google is sitting on top of one of the largest if not THE largest video database, along with maps, traffic, search, internet.zip, usenet, vast computing resources vertically integrated.. they have the whole advantage in the world. So, the hell are they doing? Why isn't their CEO already out? Expectations from them are higher than from anyone else.
I'll admit it sounds a bit unhinged but there is a repeated pattern of "new technology discovered" leading to "old technology made illegal". Its going to happen with ICE cars [1], it has happened with ICE lawnmowers [2], its going to happen with gas stoves [3], heck, NYC might effectively ban coal fired pizza ovens in the chase of net zero [4]. I'm not a climate change denier but I am worried about this pattern continuing[5], making the average person's life worse off while not actually doing anything to combat the biggest sources of pollution because it would hurt international capital.

Show HN: I build a browser extension for UX flows
Hi HN!

I wanted to show off a browser extension I developed for recording UX flows. Here's what one looks like:

https://www.demo.fun/d/WONMptLozQCNUhz

Before I explain why I think this is super useful, I'd like to mention it was a pain in the ass to develop for two reasons:

1. This was my first extension. The Chrome extension API is weird with all its promise/callback sendResponse madness. I feel like I'm starting to get a handle on it though.

2. Making it work cross-browser and on mobile (which is essential so people can experience desktop web-apps on their mobile phones) was and is hard.

The reason why it's cool is because if you're working on a browser-based feature, you can ask your friend or coworker to record themselves trying it. They can do that and then annotate the video and you can play it back and experience it the way they did.

That's not its primary use case, but it is the one I think HN would appreciate it most for. If you want to use it for free, just let me know and I'll give you a full account for free.

Please let me know what you think! Thank you!

P.S. I know the text in my Chrome WebStore video goes by too fast. I apologize for that. Unfortunately, there's not much I can do about that now.
Labor burden is always more than the amount the worker is getting for gross pay. That $18 is more like $25 when you add unemployment insurance, benefits, etc. I agree the labor math here is really off, but there must be other factors.
Thank you, and that's probably a cleaner solution than what I've been doing. I've been making a temp directory, hard-linking each file to the appropriate location within that temp directory, then running docker from within that location.

Though, either approach does have the tremendous downside of needing to maintain two entirely separate lists of the same set of files. It needs to be maintained both in the Dockerfile, and in the arguments provided to tar.
There are plenty of good uses for linked list and their variants. Like LRU lists come to mind; I couldn't bet that it's the most efficient way to implement them but they're pretty darn good. Then obviously things like breadth first search need a type of queue data structure. It often can come down to memory pressure, if you've got Gigs to spare, then allocating a contiguous block of memory for a list of something isn't a big deal, if memory is tight and maybe fragmented, linked lists can and will get it done. They have their places.

I did start to encounter some fresh grads with degrees that said "computer science" on them that couldn't answer some basic linked list questions. I was beginning to think it was a bad set of questions until I hit those kids. If you claim to know "computer science" and don't know what a linked list is, especially beyond some text books stuff, I'm probably not interested.
Trying to find anything within Workplace was an exercise in futility. Half the time, the content was just not indexed/searchable and the other half it was something that you were tagged in but didn't have permission to access.
Matroska Audio (.mka) is also a nice choice

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matroska
Any time you have a computer interacting with the outside world in an asynchronous fashion you basically have to have some form of buffering which takes the form of a queue/fifo. A linked list is the most performant/natural way of modeling a queue in our ubiquitous computing infrastructure.

I/e in a DMA-based ethernet driver, the ethernet MAC receives packets asynchronously from the processor, perhaps faster than the processor can ingest them. So the mac interrupts the processor to give it new packets, and the processor can't sit processing the packets in the interrupt context, so it needs to put them into some ordered list for processing later when it has downtime. In a true embedded system, the memory for this list is going to be fixed or statically allocated, but you still don't really want to have an array-style list with fixed indexing, as you'll have to manage what happens when the index wraps around back to 0 etc, so instead you just construct a linked list in that pre-allocated memory.

I wouldn't say linked lists aren't really used in high-level applications, as I said they're used all over the place whenever you have external asynchronous communication, it's just that modern high-level frameworks/libs totally abstract this away from most people writing high level code.
I full appreciate that there are differences across the globe, but I'm with the parent on this one - I've always said it with two hard t's my whole life, as do most other people here in Australia. I would be asking chatGPT to fix her/his pronunciation during a conversation.

I agree with others here too. At the moment the voice sounds like "grinning barbie" from the end of Toy Story 2. Just stop smiling constantly and talk like a real person chatGPT!
Yeah but what's bothering me is, we're not too far away from a version of AI where someone can ask it: "create a demo for mywebsite.com, focus on the products page, display each product and its pricing" ... and then "edit the demo you just created to remove the mouse cursor, zoom-in on the product image, etc" ... so how will your business compete against that? -- not trying to bash your idea at all, just expressing my concern
We played with lenticular displays and they are very good and very safe. But like it's just not that useful to have a 3d display. A 2d screen is perfectly good at conveying the same information.
I could write a book about large dysfunctional organizations. Organization’s goal is less important than the goals of influential individuals. And then wild things happen. We will never know what brilliant world changing or good business ideas were buried in the very early stage. It is hard to believe for me from statistics perspective, “that they haven’t built a highly profitable product”.

Edit: because I know some brilliant people from these companies starting really innovative businesses in the past right after quitting these big companies.
I don’t consider myself a very technical person, but (anecdata incoming) for everyone I know, the iPad is inadequate as a personal computer. It is great as an individual media consumption device, but beyond that its capacity is limited at best and nonexistent at worst. Multi - user support, especially for families with kids sharing the “family iPad”, is not supported. A student exporting a video for a school project in iMovie in the background isn’t supported; the app must remain in the foreground at all times. Obviously downloading games from Steam / Epic isn’t (currently) possible. All of these are normal things non-technical people expect out of a “real” computer. Of course, I could very well be wrong, and I am open to evidence to the contrary. But, for what it’s worth, I have never personally known anyone who has taken the iPad seriously beyond the most basic computational needs.
and which part do you think Facebook/twitter/etc don't take part in?
You assume that Firefox can't exist without Mozilla. Thunderbird got a lot better after divorcing from Mozilla.
Used to work on Workplace a while ago, not at Meta anymore. What Meta needs to prioritize for themselves is very different from what they need to prioritize in order to compete with Slack, Teams, Zoom, etc. This is also not a product that sells or supports itself.
To their credit, they seem to have used it extensively internally.
Sora is the closest comparison to Veo and both aren't out.

It's been there for three months and still isn't even close to being released and available.

Essentially Google has already caught up to OpenAI with their recent responses and it's clear that there are private OpenAI investors pushing such nonsense around Google struggling to compete.
You know he posted that after days of double digit gains and and excessive call volume, right?
I wonder if rotating each quadrant by 90 degrees was an effort to avoid trademark confusion.

Also, I would have liked some Sun swag from Columbia.
With a good deal of luck, they seem to hardly ever have any openings in that dept, and when they do its for senior roles.
One would think I might have already looked there previously, and was asking about personal experience from someone who has worked as an imagineer, not looking for a generic list of bullet points in a job req. :)

But thanks.
Can’t even run x86 Linux on Mac right now
There are ways to combat spam that still allow for anonymity.

One example is proof-of-work. You can require a submission do 3-5 seconds worth of work on typical high end laptops/phones so that it becomes cost prohibitive for someone to post thousands of submissions an hour. There are ASIC resistant algorithms to prevent spam-for-hire services that might try to game the system.

Most users are passive consumers of content anyway so they wouldn't notice this process and when they want to post a few times per hour or day then the 5 seconds lag will be worth it to have a better social experience.
Now that the first direct competitor to Sora has been announced, I am sure Sora will be suddenly ready for public consumption, all it's ai safety concerns forgotten
I disagree about it being a breach of fiduciary duty. The company can’t move forward with this carbuncle, and the CTO still gets their equity respected in the form of the licensing deal. A suicide pact would be an inferior execution of fiduciary duty.

Fresh start is likely not an option. You forget about the IP and assets of the company. Can’t take those with you in a fresh start and OP and his investor has a lot of sunk cost here.
Google Press: This is the greatest AI Model ever yet.

Users: Lol it wont even tell me how to draw a picture of a human because its inappropriate.

Google flipped like a switch a few years ago. Instead of going for product quality, it seems they went full Apple Marketing and control the narrative of top social media.

I keep trying thinking: "well its Google, they will be the best right?" No, I'm at giving up on Google, they are not as powerful as I once thought... Hmm seems like a good time to get into Lobbying and Marketing...
Cell phones mask the behavior now.

I can never tell when someone walking toward me, talking to themselves, gesturing wildly, is a danger anymore.
I think it's an objectively "clever" logo but not necessarily objectively "beautiful" one. Does that make sense?

For what it's worth, the idea of a "tensor" in ML is pretty far removed from any physical concept. I don't know its mathematical origins (would be interesting I'm sure), but in ML they're only involved because that's our framework for dealing with multi-linear transformations.

Most NNs work by something akin to "(multi-)linear vector transformation, followed by elementwise nonlinear transformation", stacked over and over so that the output of one layer becomes the input of the next. This applies equally well to simple models like "fully-connected" / "feed-forward" networks (aka "multi-layer perceptron") and to more-sophisticated models like transformers (e.g. https://github.com/karpathy/nanoGPT/blob/325be85d9be8c81b436...).

It's less about combining lots of tiny local linear transformations piecewise, and more about layering linear and non-linear transformations on top of each other.

I don't really know how physics works beyond whatever Newtonian mechanics I learned in high school. But unless the underlying math is similar, then I'm hesitant to run too far with the analogy.
Even if the shots are very short you still need coherency between shots, and they don't seem to have tackled that problem yet.
It bums me out that the way to get rich via AI is to throw an OpenAI API key at a SaaS app, not solving fundamental hard science problems.
Social interaction is obviously inherent to work.

What I don’t like is having to maintain social media inside work.
Code reviews don't usually find bugs
To be very clear: not for transplants, but for training med students.

Unfortunately the tax treatment no longer incentivizes this. Accounting practices that in the past allowed for this activity to be booked as an asset are no longer in use. Lower corporate rates no longer necessitate liability offsets that in the past fueled r&d budgets. Instead we have stock buy backs! Yippee!
Terminal app must needed
I've been using a combination of Obsidian and Otter/AndroidRecorder to get writing more frequently. I have daily notes for streaming odd thoughts into and while I walk the dog I turn on Otter (or if I have no signal Android Recorder) and just talk to myself as I walk.

I come back from my walk with 1000-2000 words which I run through AI to clean up and remove all the dog commands and garbled bits. I use another preconfigured setup to link those to existing subjects and extract tags, topics and summaries. All of a sudden I have a wealth fragments of my thinking.

Often I will listen to a chapter of a book while I walk and then try to note down my thoughts about the chapter. With the same result, I've now got an enormous PKM covering all of the things I care about.

When I come to actually write a blog post I'm just pulling all my already written notes and snippets together.

It has taken a lot of time but I've imported and organised lots of old notes and notebooks into Obsidian as well. Putting them in dedicated notes or just into daily notes. My PKM is now ~120k words (not all of them mine, there are quotes and snippets from elsewhere as well)
1M token context by default is the big feature here IMO, but we need better benchmarks to measure what that really means.

My intuition is that as contexts get longer we start hitting the limits of how much comprehension can be embedded in a single point of vector space, and will need better architectures for selecting the relevant portions of the context.
One solution to this, if you would have thought about it ahead of time while writing his shareholder's agreement, might have been a Shotgun Clause[1].

"The shareholder triggering the clause offers to buy the shares of the others at a specific price per share. The other shareholder(s) must then either accept the offer and sell their shares, or buy the triggering shareholders' shares at that same price."

So the company would offer to buy the CTO's shares at a certain price, but if the CTO refuses, he must instead buy the rest (95%) of the company at that same price. A good way to very carefully decide a fair buyout price for the guy.

>I'm going to upload the photos to iCloud anyways; let me pay an extra $1/month or whatever to have that identification happen in the cloud, on a server built for it that has data center thermal dissipation and is plugged into the wall.

You might not be in area of poor connection and can't connect to the cloud.

One use for AI is speech recognition / transcription for deaf/HoH individuals. Up until now its almost been done exclusively on the cloud and it works fairly well (depending on conditions). Recently there's been an interest in doing it locally without relying on a network connection.

There's also privacy issues with transmitting this data over a network.
Thanks, that makes sense. I’m similarly “that guy” that gets called for scenarios like that, but in CA, which is why I asked about Disney specifically.

Thank you for the insight!
Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like the FAA and industry are treating the number of flights as something outside their control.

Is there a (verifiable) reason that a shortage of ATC personnel can't be resolved by any of the following?

(a) Reduce flights and/or airport hours to a level that's safe with current staffing levels.

(b) Increase ATC staff's pay and working conditions until there are enough staff to meet the (desired) amount of air traffic?

(Edited for clarity.)
Pretty much all of them do, though the platform support varies by hypervisor/guest OS. Paravirtualized (aka non-passthrough) 3D acceleration has been implemented for well over a decade.
This logo is also technically a swastika in the heraldic sense (four-armed cross, arms bent at 90 degrees, with rotational symmetry).
