There's a big difference between "theft isn't a concern" and "theft is the main reason things are lost". A place where you're more likely to get your things stolen than you are to misplace them is definitely a place with above-average crime rates.

And while I don't know where you've been and what your tolerance level for "worrying about" theft is, I've never worried about theft anywhere but very touristy places in huge cities.
being from a country on the bottom side of the list living on one from the top, it seems to roughly add up from my experience. although it is more accurate for the more expensive parts of each country.

when living in a cheaper country to live compared to a more expensive one, there is a very different split between rent and other expense in terms of having a comparable standard of living.
Meanwhile I was using it from germany all the time, not even with a vpn. It just works with occasional notifications "not available in europe", but literally just for a few seconds in the top right corner
Windows 7 didn't have a consistent UI, though. In multiple places you could find Vista and XP-decorated panels. Your nostalgia is wrong.
That’s usually the same advice I give to people when they ask the question in the context of personal blogs: just write. About whatever. Anything you find interesting to you is a worthy subject.
The anecdotal feedback from many creators seems to be that YouTube squeezes their income to the point of them considering giving up.
I write a lot (several thousand words per day) and even though I love the convenience of writing and editing on my iphone and ipad, it’s become clear in the last couple of years that if I want to write efficiently, I have to do it on my desktop. Text editing (for writing, not coding) has gotten significantly worse in iOS over the last 2-3 years, especially with long documents. I’m surprised that others haven’t noticed this.
We probably both understand the underlying concepts correctly. But just in case: also buffered channels will block if full.

So I don't see how notifications get discarded (meaning lost). But somehow that's what your text says?

> 1) tap anywhere in text to move the cursor?

This behaviour is a mess, IME. iOS makes arbitrary judgements about the word boundary it thinks I'm aiming at and is about 50% wrong. I regularly find words or lines it will refuse to position the cursor into, instead insisting on moving to the line above or below. Line breaks seem to confuse it too. I often have to position the cursor the word before the line break, insert my new text and then reposition to delete the old text.

2) + 3) The rhythm to engage this vs the one to engage selection is completely opaque to me. I still don't know how to engage selection intentionally, successfully. I've owned iPhones since the 3s.
>What are the odds that you'd ever know if you were hacked?

Would you know?

>I don't know how you could possibly be confident that your device isn't infected with something.

Easy, my bank account is still full.

How are you confident your phone isn't infected? Being up to date is no guarantee. Until you can poke around with root access to inspect everything it's still Schrodinger's cat in a black box you trust to not be dead inside.

Because how would malware ever make it into my phone? It doesn't just magic itself onto your device once it stops received updates. It needs an entry point off the attack surface. And what's my attack surface since all your examples don't apply to me?

I never download shady Apps from the likes of Huawei AppGallery lol or even off the PlayStore and I don't use Android 5. All apps I use are whatsapp and Google chrome, and I also don't browse shady websites on my phone.

You have to search really hard to find a bigger crybaby than Elon Musk around though. It's why he bought Twitter: to create a safe space for himself, where he can surround himself with all his favorite opinions (his own).
Double the initial valuation and give them that divided by 20. Then you can move on. Just a wild thought though.
> They have been generating hype for years now, yet the real-world impacts remain modest so far.

I feel like everyone who makes this claim doesn't actually have any data to backup it up.
Tangentially related but I wish we had something similar to LVFS but for IoT devices.

That way, you would only need to have one hub (Homey, Home Assistant, IKEA, Apple TV, etc.) and it would be able to keep all your stuff up to date and control everything via Matter. Right now, we are slowly moving towards a future where any hub can control any device, but you still need to run the vendor hub if you want firmware updates.
Clickbait.

One single specific SU7 broke down after 39 kilometers (it's not that SU7 as a model does that in general as implied), and it can't be repaired on-site, so it needs to return to the factory to be analysed (it's not that it can't be repaired in general).

While doesn't mean much, except that electric cars are much less unreliable than gas cars. There's no shortage of similar news stories of Tesla's dying after a few days, the Cybertruck "Breaks Down 35 Miles After Delivery", and so on, too.

GitHub is free for normal users (mostly) bc enterprise customers pay a lot for it and it gives Microsoft a lot of pull in the open source community.

HN is free bc it’s a ycombinator recruiting tool and is probably cheap to run.
GitHub is not free, HN is not a product, but a marketing tool for YC.
Cloudflare dynamic dns and cloudflare tunnels get you there. Of course, now you're relying on Cloudflare's free tier to continue to exist.

Unless they are not reading it, or properly paying attention. Or following an unofficial document and blaming the core project for failings in that. Sometimes it is on the user.

Have you tried browsing the web recently on a vintage computer running a 90’s browser? It works on only a minority of sites. The vast majority are broken due to either https or JavaScript.

So yes, in principle you can use the web on those old devices but it really doesn’t work in practice. The strong desire for gopher is for a protocol where every server you might want to connect to actually works on your ancient client.

Sorry, I can't find it anymore. I got it from the youtube channel by Sam Vaknin. He is a convicted coin man with NPD, so take everything he says with a grain of salt. That having said, his work tend to lack the sort of victim pandering you see in other narcissism "experts".

Yes, the electrolysers have to be sufficiently cheap. But this is happening; I understand China now gets 4% of their hydrogen from electrolysis.
> Question is - how can pumped hydro be probably ever "maxed out"?

Playing devil's advocate: once you've run out of places with enough height difference to build one upper and one lower reservoir. It's going to take a long time (there are many more places suitable for pumped hydro than places suitable for traditional hydro), but it's possible.

> Let's say if we take all the (normal, not "pumped") hydro we have and increase number of turbines on them 10x, or 100x, and make them reversible, that will easily cover all the storage needs in terms of power.

That's usually not feasible. Pumped hydro needs both a lower and an upper reservoir, while non-pumped hydro normally has only an upper reservoir, and discharges water directly into a river. That is: even if you made the turbines reversible (or added pumps in parallel with them), there would be no water for them to pump upwards.
You mean much like the algorithms they already use, which so frequently get complained about on this site for their shitty tracking abilities despite very much being used by these companies?

It's laughable that many comments on this site would try to shame people into thinking they're paranoid when discussing a potential further means of surveillance, when these same parasitical companies persistently, pervasively reveal themselves to use a very complex, expanding range of techniques through any hardware possible for tracking of their users (and non-users too).

I mean, a car filled with tracking sensors and microphones, people inside it with their own little devices that contain similar and in both types of devices software run by some of the most prying, intrusive corporations on the planet (though these days just about any company in any tech parrots the others for "improved user experience") and somehow it's silly cognitive bias by the users of the tech to suggest that they might just have noticed being spied on in one more way?

I know HN comments have many tech employees ready to raise the battle flag for their ethically deformed corporate tech lords, but it would be nice to see a few more such people with their heads pulled out of their asses instead of deriding those who don't follow the same defensive reasoning.

Am I missing something?

I've picked GPT-4o model in ChatGPT app (I have the paid plan), started talking with the voice mode: both the responses are much slower than in the demo, and there is no way to interrupt the response naturally (I need to tap a button on screen to interrupt), and no way to open up camera and show around like the demo does.
Lego Rodin's Thinker
That’s logically equivalent to saying average black people get a bad reputation because of the few who are criminals. It may be true but there’s nothing they can do about it and the fault really lies with the person who lumps them all together.

PE is a giant thing. There is a lot of it. The ones who don’t run companies out of business have no control over the ones who do. You’re using “they” to refer to thousands of people as if they’re a monolith.

And I don’t disagree that the bias you mention is accurate, I was pointing out that it’s because the people who think that way simply don’t understand finance. And judging by the comments here every time it comes up, the bias you mention is very popular.

Keeping opinions to ourselves would make these comments sections pretty sparse. Why is mine not ok but yours is? I was largely agreeing with you and expounding anyway.
This perfectly illustrates the problem with bash.

Somebody did something the straightforward way which worked. A solution is given on a better way, but that also has a problem that somebody else didn't know about.

Bash let's you do anything and have it kind of work but you never know how many footguns you're setting up for yourself.
while everyone's focusing on audio capabilities (haven't heard them yet), i find it amusing that the official demo ("robot writer's block" in particular) of image generation can't even match the verbatim instruction, and the error's not even consistent between generations even as it should be aware of previous contexts. and this is their second generation of multimodal llm capable of generating images.

looks like llms still gonna llm for the near future.

Hey all, we are getting very close to launching our product soon. Would appreciate any feedback.
Hi everyone, I'm a UX & UI designer.

I built a Framer component library that may be helpful to UX & UI designers trying to create their portfolio.

Problem:
When looking to build my own UX/UI design portfolio, I was frustrated with the restrictive nature and lack of customisation that some of the other portfolio builders offered. I felt as if none of these platforms allowed me to showcase my work and personality the way I wanted to. I also didn’t have the time required to create a portfolio from scratch.

- Limited customisation options
- Time consuming
- Steep learning curves
- Limited case study options

Solution:
I created Profolio because I knew other designers would be experiencing similar issues and I wanted to help create a better solution. With Profolio my goal was to make it as easy and time-efficient as possible for UX & UI designers to create a custom portfolio that showcases their skills, experience and personality so that it gives them everything they need to land a design job.

- 90+ unstyled Framer portfolio components
- 30+ components to build case studies
- Mockups, UX/ UI deliverables & wireframe templates
- Unlimited customisation
- Minimal learning curve

Would love any feedback, thanks
And I'm sure that it's doing that for some people, but... I think those are mostly in the industry. For most of the people outside the tech bubble, I think the most noticeable impact it has had on their lives so far is that they've seen it being talked about on the news, maybe tried ChatGPT once.

That's not to say it won't have more significant impact in the future; I wouldn't know. But so far, I've yet to see the hype get realised.
> no one gave a fuck about your race or age or sexual orientation or politics or anything but can this person code, do they geek out

Is this really true though? There is so much evidence that shows women and other minority groups to be systematically discriminated against in tech.
Point a) is just point b) in disguise. You're just swapping companies for governments.

This tech is dangerous, and I'm currently of the opinion that its uses for malicious purposes are far better and more significant than LLM's replacing anyone's jobs. The bullshit asymmetry principle is very incredibly significant for covert ops and asymmetric warfare, and generating convincing misinformation has become basically free overnight.
I used Metacrawler, it was dog slow. The beauty of Google was it was super fast, and still returned results that were at least as good, and often better, than Metacrawler. After using Google 2-3 times I don’t think I ever used Metacrawler again.
I don’t think the app version is available
Same here. It’s because Voice modality hasn’t been rolled out widely yet.

>You always have a choice. You can choose not to go.

Of course, you can physically restrain yourself from going to X or Y unpleasant major country, but go ahead and tell someone rushing urgently to such a country for the funeral or medical emergency of a family member, or a serious financial emergency, that they can just "choose not to go" as if it were a case of choosing what toilet paper to buy.
Also: me hole...
They didn't roll out all of the features yet. They said that they will roll out everything shown in the demo over the next few weeks iirc
Manual vs automatic is irrelevant here. There was much less content to moderate if we talk about media. They could censor every single publication, movie or song manually. In oppressive regimes like USSR the censorship is total - the only escape is your kitchen (if you can really trust the people you talk to), in the West you are free to choose the platform and live peacefully in your bubble if you want.
And by "buried" you mean "dedicated a whole screen to it at legible size"? I don't wanna go back and count, but as I was scrolling through the sequence on mobile, it's definitely in there, up front and clear. Maybe you had a different experience of the website?

I appreciate data skepticism, but your point about the 1978 blizzard doesn't really help, as blizzards and snow events in general are not generally associated with extreme cold events.

Also, the site tells you about the changes in whatever place you plugged in. I'm not clear on why you're calling this "hyper-focusing on specific locations". It's literally telling you what's going on in your neighborhood and gives good reasons to even then discount the new number.
thanks. tried everything I can think of, still no luck, run out of ideas.

If Anthropic want some business they can get in touch. For Claude direct, at least until then, I'll carry on using you on Poe for chat. Will go elsewhere for APIs.
I would like to better understand your mentality. Every Apple article I read has comments like yours, essentially saying "It works on my machine, its a YOU (the struggling users) problem".

Do you genuinely believe your response is helpful? Just like the OC, I too have noticed the atrocious editing and word manipulation in iOS and, just like OC, I have been text editing for my entire life. iOS is objectively bad at it, in many specific ways. The only way to improve it is for us to be honest about how it can be better and go from there. Coping with the issues as if they dont even exist is not a good path forward.
That’s because the plan is to do it largely along major highways, not BLM land in the desert or on military bases.

They'll get lost when using a non-blocking send with select/default:

messages := make(chan string)
select {
case messages <- "hi":
fmt.Println("sent message", msg)
default:
fmt.Println("no message sent")
}

The reason you'd use a non-blocking send is to make sure that in the event of one slow consumer that the entire system doesn't slow down.

Imagine a scaled out version of the notifier in which it's listening on hundreds of topics and receiving thousands of notifications. Each notification is received one-by-one using something like Pgx's `ListenForNotification`, and then distributed via channel to subscriptions that were listening for it.

In the case of a blocking send without `default`, one slow consumer that was taking too much time to receive and process its notifications would cause a build up of all other notifications the notifier's supposed to send, so one bad actor would have the effect of degrading the time-to-receive for all listening components.

With buffered channels, a poorly written consumer could still drop messages for itself, which isn't optimal (it should be fixed), but all other consumers will still receive theirs promptly. Overall preferable to the alternative.
This title is super weird. Yeah this person was a mnemonist, and yeah he died. But the article is not about the "the death of a mnemonist". As far as I can say he lived a long life and died at old age. There was nothing special about his death. It was not related to him being a mnemonist. (or if it did, the article does not try to make that connection.)

It is almost as if they had a simple article describing his abilities (perhaps titled "The Mind of a Mnemonist"? As the original case study describing him was titled.) And then just decided to spruce it up with a catchy title and some minimal attempt at mentioning his death.
The voice mode will be available in "a few weeks". So at the moment it's not using the end-to-end model but whisper->gtp-4o->tts
Rodin left his plaster casts to the museum and authorized them to make up 12 copies of each (they've already made all 12 of The Thinker).

If that was the intention of the artist, my opinion would be more towards they break the molds and delete the scans, instead of allowing infinite copies.
AI will certainly be a tool that artists use, but non-artists will use it too so very few will ever have the need to pay an artist for their work. The only work artists are likely to get will be cleaning up AI output, and I doubt they'll find that to be very fulfilling or that it pays them well enough to make a living.

When it's harder to make a career in the digital world (where most of the art is), it's more likely that many artists will never get the opportunity to fully develop their artistic gifts and personal style at all.

If artists are lucky then maybe in a few generations with fewer new creative works being created, AI almost entirely training on AI generated art will mean that the output will only get more generic and simplistic over time. Perhaps some people will eventually pay humans again for art that's better quality and different.
