Having searched for and not found a reasonable cheat sheet, I made my own cheat sheet of all of the "gestures," laminated it, set it down for my mother. She still couldn't get it.

I think the gestures are just not a great way to go for the elderly, for a few reasons. First, gestures are not explicit, you have to discover them, be told about them, see them used by someone else. Second (and this one deserves subclassing) is motor control. Finger-tapping speed, for one, declines notably with age. Fine motor control, for the gestures, can also be impaired with age. Third, there's a lack of feedback when using gestures: no haptics, no titles to relay during phone calls, no "you just closed this program by swiping up!"

>I suspect there's a correlation between having the money and desire to own a TV

TVs are pretty darn cheap.
You need to include interest rates, not just divide the cost over 60 years.

One way to subsidize nuclear is to artificially reduce the interest rate on its financing, but market rates for nuclear financing would make a 60 year lifespan almost irrelevant. The NPV of the out year revenue would be very low.

Put another way: for nuclear to pay out over 60 years, it also has to compete with the cheaper energy sources that will be discovered and improved over those generations. This obsolescence risk cannot be ignored, and gets reflected in interest rates charged. Now that wind/solar are becoming dominant, their inherent rapid evolution has pulled in the time horizons for all other energy sources. I sometimes think this has kept natural gas going longer than it otherwise might have, since the uncertainty adds incentive for sources with more operating cost and lower investment cost, as these have less obsolescence risk.

Expecting AP1000 to show NOAK improvements is optimistic.

"Police hope the devicewill be harmless to humans and other devices." It's funny when reputable news outlets let silly spelling or grammar problems slip. You'd think they'd have automated away this problem long ago. It makes me sceptical of how much quality investigation and analysis is involved.
Maybe in the US, I know several cases where stolen bikes were returned and thieves charged in central Europe. I've never lost anything, but had a bike stolen and I'm in fear of having another one stolen. GPS trackers are not a real option for me (monthly fee, high battery consumption, not having an e-bike which would make it easier). These trackers are a great idea and I do get why stalking is an issue. But I'm with the Tile CEO when it comes to other or even better options for stalking. GPS trackers are way more accurate and I assume that swapping them or recharging them is less of a concern in that case.

It's a shame that stalking is a concern. It's a shame that this had to be implemented and effectively breaks the devices use case for most people. But I'm not even mad at Apple or Google, because I also think that it is their responsibility to protect people from being stalked.

Tile is also not an option for me, in Europe pretty much no one uses it. I will still try my luck with Apple and Google/Pebblebee Tags. Does anyone have experience how long it takes until you get notified about a tracker moving with you?

Wow, the PDFs of the ISLisp spec are not searchable. Whether in the browser's PDF reader or Acrobat, no hits on searches like "mapcar" or "length".
YES.

If you only listen to the lecture, and perhaps re-read the notes, you won't learn much. But that's never how a lecture-based course was meant to work!

In my undergrad, it was made clear to us that the learning happens when you do the worksheets, and the discussions around them in the workshops / exercise classes / tutorials / presentations. But the lectures are still there for a reason.

The history of education is littered with the skulls of the failures of pure "discovery learning", sometimes rebranded as "active learning". And apart from a small elite of people who were going to be top of the class whatever you do (short of Vonnegut-style drastic measures), it does. not. work.

The "traditional" method, practiced properly, contains lots of opportunities for practice (which is, naturally, "active") in some sense. It just recognizes that learners sometimes need to be told what to practice, first.
I think Fukushima shows that reactor accidents will happen from time to time, and when they happen, it's a disaster.

Sure, you can say that the operators at Fukushima were negligent (they were), but that is something you have to account for. Negligence happens. Earthquakes happen. Hurricanes and tornadoes happen. Tsunamis happen. Wildfires happen. Terrorism happens.
Show HN: I want to create the best sport coach using GenAI
Hey,

I launched train-programs.ai, a free tailored workout program generator.

I've built this side project to create the best AI sport coach. I know it's currently a very, very early stage product.

I've also discovered that building an "AI wrapper" is not that straightforward.

Feel free to try (and potentially roast me, I am prepared) :)
You can still get some reward for it on the dark web, surely.
I thought about ditching my TV with my next move, but I've actually started switching all my video content consumption back to the living room (via an Apple TV).

I watch no traditional television, but I feel like after years of sitting at my desk to watch "content", I forgot how comfortable a good couch and a glass is, and the Apple TV apps are gradually getting better. Some are even good.

(Although I was recently exposed to a proper "Smart TV" for the first time whose software was beyond awful, so I can understand people thinking TVs are no longer worth it.)
Which foreign companies have they destroyed?
>and a community that they were part of.

well that's the issue. There is no "small community" these days like there would be in the Usenet days. At least not a genreal purpose one for blogging whatever is on your mind. My parents wouldn't really care much about the content so much as supporting me. My friends don't necessarily share all the same interests as me. So you want to seek out like strangers on the internet to bond with.

That's part of why we transitioned to early web 2.0 of utilizing a middleman to host content, and use that to attract a community. The internet grew and people could focus exclusively on what they were genuinely interested in, as opposed to subscribing to users directly.

Indeed.

I often look at all the internet monopolies and I feel YouTube is quite a hard one to crack.

A competitor could buy some top channels, and then what?

YouTube is on virtually all decides out there, even bundled with smart tvs. So much to invest for a very low chance of return.

Why would top creators even agree unless you throw stupid money at them (they already are making crazy tens of thousands if not more for every video, good luck luring them).

And that's not even counting that Google has insane amounts of data for ads, yet another advantage.

I just don't see anybody being able to really fight YouTube unless Google itself keeps making it worse.

There is a massive philosophical and ethical problem and the answer amount to "people already fuck anime pillows so it's ok". Once again, some people terrify me. You could argue that the tech itself is neutral but all the arguments I read in favor of it are either creepy or completely unrealistic.

Tech absolutely wrecked social relations and people assume more of it will automagically fix the issues, it's perplexing

That's what politicians told us in the 80s about computers, the 2 day work week, the end of poverty, &c. nothing changed, if anything things are a it worse than they were. New technologies without a dramatic change of political and social policies will never bring anything new to the table

I really, really hate to be "that one guy" (c) Rachel Kroll, but... if you're about to use a large, old, complicated piece of software, the chances are very good that its developers have mental models about what is good software, and what is good documentation, and what is self-evident and what is not, that are very, very different from yours, especially if you're a programmer and the piece of software is aimed at the sysadmins/ops/devops — so yes, read the whole docs. The things are not what you would hope they are.
This paper is very weird. They basically assume we are rotating with respect to the center of a galaxy and that is why the see different rotational velocity compared to when we would not be in a rotating frame. This could be the case for a single galaxy. But how can we be in a rotating frame towards the center of all galaxies? That doesn't make sense to me.

So the math would be correct for a single galaxy, but this cannot happen for all galaxies at the same time.

What is interesting though, that they basically find a model with a single additional parameter per galaxy (angular velocity omega) that fits most of the rotation curves very well. However the most simple explanation how we get this omega is not by assuming fictitious forces from rotation frames, but simply real forces from dark matter.

Your email address cannot be (and isn't) secret, if you give it to other people (regular people, i.e. friends, colleagues, etc.) so they can send you emails. If you don't want your email harvested, you can never use it (at least to receive emails).
No, I am adamant that "sequel" is worse than "ess que ell". Most people who learned SQL on their own already call it "ess que ell" (a lot of my colleagues at work), because they never had a greybeard over their shoulder saying it be called "sequel". There's zero benefit in insisting it be called "sequel" other than to introduce an additional bump for people learning it all over the world. Reject sequel, join SQL.

Also, anecdotally it seems like the "sequel" preference is relegated to the old-timer Oracle and SQL Server crowd, whereas the newer Postgres/MySQL/SQLite crowd prefer to call it "ess que ell" (simply because it's the obvious way to say it).
No, I’ll give that a shot. I have just been asking it to convert output into a CSV, which used to work somewhat well. It stumbles when there is more complexity though.
It's not about ordinary soldiers. It's about special services agents contacting their "partisans" agents, while other side special services trying to catch them. They're supposed to apply best security possible in the given circumstances.

If you claim that neither Russian, nor Ukrainian special services are competent, I'd disagree with you.
I'm currently working with a senior developer whose breadth and depth of technical knowledge is simply incredible. Yesterday he talked for more or less six hours straight, starting with “What exactly does this function do?” from designing compilers, to opcodes and memory management, to the evolution of digital cameras. Listening to this guy is like drinking from a fire hose. And no part of it was rambling. It's just pure, high-density information, presented in a passionate manner. And I've been working with him for weeks now, most days are like the one mentioned above. The funny thing is that this guy spends most of his free time playing retro games and watching anime.

I often wonder what it would have been like working with somebody like John von Neumann or how they really see the world.

There is some genetic part, but I would say this also highly depends on the environment where you grow up. From my observation, people who grow up in villages are smarter than people who grow up in the city. They just know more about the world, the nature, the have been more "free" as it was safer for them to explore the environment.
As you grow, being considered smart is usually more related to business, and I would say it is actually a matter of how good you are predicting the future.
We all can learn the same things, just putting in more or less time, but what is more complex to change is the internal process you follow to reach a conclusion, and that's basically based on your previous experiences. So, the more things you live, the more things you interact with, the more technologies you learnt, the more books you read, etc is what makes you "smarter", basically because your internal thinking process has more information to contrast.
It still doesn't matter that much when talking about short average tenure. Obviously in a hot market it is going to be more complicated for companies to retain talent, but being a successful company is not an easy task in any case.
That's interesting. But surely stolen ID's could be flagged and blocked from phone networks internationally if there was will to do so? I guess most people wouldn't know what their ID's are to get them blocked in the first place.

> Are European countries not primarily socialist republics?

No? At most we're a continent of mostly social democracies. The workers don't own the means of production here in general, although cooperatives can be quite strong here. We also have way stronger labour unions than those in the US, for example (although funnily enough, in some ways that distances us from socialist republics since those tended to have the habit of banning labour unions, ironically enough), but these things don't make our countries socialist in nature.

Personally, I come from a Nordic country (Finland). Now, some American socialist pundits and politicians, like Bernie Sanders rather famously, tried to argue that the Nordic model is socialist and that we're socialist countries. They'd be wrong on that. While welfare states, we also explicitly have free market economies, which was even brought up by the Danish prime minister after the Sanders comments in 2015 in direct response to the latter. And in general, many people here would probably even be slightly offended by calling us socialists, or at least confused by it. And I think that this would also be the case for people in other parts of Europe, and especially those who were on the Eastern Bloc.

Keyboard can be helpful in consumption scenario, simply because you can set up correct angle for a display. IPad cases I uses typically have just a single position.

That said, iPad is more convenient when in a bed because you can more easily put it away when you get sleepy, you can read sideways, it's more resilient if in a good case, etc. I never carry laptop to bed, while iPad is part of my go-to-sleep routine since v1.
For Tunnelmole (open source ngrok alternative) the service is identical to the open source project, but with this module https://github.com/robbie-cahill/tunnelmole-service/blob/mai... replaced with a custom version to add the billing logic. It has the same function signature so works seamlessly with the NodeJS module system.

It calls Stripe to check the plan for example.

Public service announcement: if you haven't read the table of contents of your RDBMS of choice, please do it now. Bonus points for reading a couple of chapters.

It's amazing how much work an average developer could save himself if they knew just a bit more than basic SQL constructs and the average operator if they knew a bit more than basic configuration options.

I'm not asking to read the whole manual. (If your RDBMS is SQL Server or Oracle, that'd take a while...) Just the table of contents, so you know what you don't know.
What schools teach is what governments who set the curriculum like to think is important, which is why my English lessons had a whole section on the Shakespearean (400-year-old, English, Christian) take on the life and motivations of a Jewish merchant living in Venice, followed up with a 80 year old (at the time) English poem on exactly how bad it is to watch your friends choke to death as their lungs melt from chlorine gas in the trenches of the first world war.

These did not provide useful life-lessons for me.

I'm not saying either you or the parent commenter is right or wrong, but fiction in books and movies are clearly fiction and we consume it as such. You are right that some people have been making up fake stories and others (the more naive) have been quick to believe in those false stories. The difference now is that it's not just text invented and written by a human, which takes time and dedication. Now it's done in a second. On top of that it's easy to enhance the text with realistic photos, audio and video. It becomes much more convincing. And this material is created in a few seconds or minutes.

It's hard to know what to believe if you get a phone call with the voice of your child or colleague, and your "child"/"colleague" replies within milliseconds in a convincing way.
Drugs are a perfect example. They are a controlled market because the common person lacks the knowledge to safely use these by themselves. Good or bad.

PE's, meawhile, don't really have that control. They are shooting all the hell up and we don't know if they are self destructively OD'ing or are curing cancer. Most high profile results are sadly the former. There's simply less financial incentives these days to invest in "saving" a company if you don't emotionally invest in it.
The gotcha is that users only read the smallest possible amount of docs (which is usually zero), at the most "focused" placed (e.g. the docs for exactly one command they suspect is misbehaving, not for all of the commands used in the script, and definitely not the intro into the docs where the concepts are explained), and the doc writers don't bother to duplicate the information in all the relevant places.

I am a data scientist/statistician who already has a very hard time finding a decent job. The rapid pace of AI improvement deeply gives me anxiety regarding the job market.

It takes me repeated taps on a text entry to get the popover that allows me to paste - why isn't there a keyboard shortcut to access the clipboard?
Similarly, I often find it impossible to drag a selection to select more or less characters. Moving the cursor is similarly infuriating. On Android, I had a keyboard that allowed me to swipe on the space bar to move the cursor, why can't I have that here?

Wouldn't be as big of a problem if the spellchecker was not absolute garbage and handled multi-language text input, or just worked well for a single language. Honestly, I don't think the team working on the keyboard at apple has any linguists or any kind of diversity to pay attention to nothing but the most milktoast of English language use.
