Comments that are critical can contain useful information, like pointing out something that is wrong, and a potential solution or alternative or whatever.

There is no equivalent for comments that praise; they just convey "I like it". If there are too many positive comments, it can be annoying. Online culture has a pejorative for this: "circle jerk", referring to group masturbation.

(Praise can be accompanied by insight that is useful to other admirers of the work. I don't want to claim that praise is always "content free".)

While everyone likes positive comments and praise of their work, only the criticisms are actionable.

Note that a comment like:

"Wow, I really love the application and have used it daily for years. But it would be nice if it quit without are-you-sure prompting when the document has not been touched."

is actually two comments. "I like it" praise, plus a separate criticism that is actionable.

A comment like:

"I really like this track; the synthesizer part reminds me of <track by other, unrelated artist>."

says something beyond "I like it". It is actionable in a different way. People can look that up and compare.
Can you elaborate on what about the scale of "a few devices and one user's iCloud backup" makes hard delete challenging? A 30-day period seems like plenty of time to propagate the "Alice really does want to delete this photo on 6/21" message to all devices and all servers where you might have backups.

And even if it is challenging, it shouldn't even need to be said that soft deleting photos of all things would be completely and totally irresponsible. This isn't some metadata in a business app, some of those deleted photos are extremely sensitive.
Plot twist - this a honeypot operation by a group of tech companies to find employees to fire.
I think the issue that people here are expressing are not necessarily their personal concerns, but concerns that their employers may now have if they learn about the feature.
Uggh, Chrome on Linux did the same thing. It honestly looks like someone updated Chrome but forgot to test on linux. Why are popup menus all bold and twice the size of system popup menus now?!?!??!

That's actually bad. iOS shows a "privacy warning" if you're connected to a wifi hotspot with a "common name". Presumably that's because if you have something a network with a common name saved (eg. "dlink"), your phone would try to connect to it everywhere you go, exposing your mac address.

If I recall correctly from messing around via dev tools, deleting contacts from my android phone just "soft deletes" them as well. It might not have been contacts but there was something in a database I did not expect to be there. I feel like this kind of stuff would be an actual scandal as recently as 2010 but we've just accepted living in a panopticon and false ownership of tech.
Doesn't JSON plus a schema give you typing?
I remember watching a Channel 9 video about a decade or so ago where they visited Bell and co at the MSR office in San Francisco. That's where Gordon wanted to be and so Microsoft opened an office for him. In the video he was wearing a video camera around his neck and speaking a bit about the MyLifeBits project, IIRC. Now that I'm middle-aged and my relationship to technology has been changing, I'm struck by the passion, curiosity, and engagement he continued to exhibit. Remarkable lifelong attitude.
The biggest thing is I no longer have access to the email address where I wrote the review and I wonder if they recognized that and went and edited it since I wouldn't be checking?
I believe the reason that 111 was chosen in New Zealand was because, on the analogue network, '1' was a 'long pulse', where-as '9' was a 'short pulse' (think about how long the dial takes to rotate back to its start position for each number). It was considered more likely that telephone cables swaying in the wind and touching would trigger emergency calls if the emergency number was 999.

Edit: Corrected to 111 for New Zealand, as helpfully pointed out.

Unless they legally can't, say because of a felony conviction, that seems highly unusual.
That feature sounds really cool. Not sure it should be the terminal app doing it though.

Is there a MacOS app that does "Quicksilver" (cmd-space Spotlight box) style input that injects the GPT text at cursor or puts it into your clipboard?

It's the fact that Apple spews this huge amount of info that allowed this research to happen, after all.

That’s according to two researchers at the University of Maryland, who theorized they could use the verbosity of Apple’s API to map the movement of individual devices into and out of virtually any defined area of the world.
This is unfortunately only an Opinion piece. The author has a Wikipedia page,

At least as many Jews were displaced in surrounding countries as Palestinians were displaced. How does this get resolved ?

Who is the guarantor that this new Israel will not simply turn into another Lebanon/Syria/etc where the minority (Jews) are oppressed ?
That option does actually exist for "plain" HTML5 <video> tags, as far as I know. It's just that most videos aren't hosted as simple as that, and are effectively stitched together out of multiple MPEG-DASH, HLS etc. fragments – or the site uses a custom video player.

In both cases, the result is a lack of a right-click-to-save option.
I've heard that the ultra-rich borrow a lot against potentially illiquid assets to avoid realizing gains and taxes, but I'm confused how it works long term. Do you just keep taking out new debt to pay back your old debt, and continue doing that until you die? It seems like eventually you would need to sell something to pay back your older creditors.
> They contort themselves to redefine the word density,

Not once does the term "word density" occur. They talk about Tufte's concept of "information density," though. Edward Tufte is really must-read for any designer or anyone working with them.

> what they should have said is that a good interface for humans maximizes information without losing visual salience

And Tufte talks about that, too. I'm sure the author realized this.
Tearing down is a lot easier than building up. HN is certainly no worse than most other sites populated largely by geeks. Comments here are usually more relevant and constructive than any mainstream media I know. In all too many settings, encountering a voice who eschews flatulent prickery to instead advance the exchange via thoughtful invention is rare enough to make my day. IMO, HN suffers less from cretins than most sites.
That is definitely on our roadmap, we're hoping to get it out in a couple of weeks

They don't promote the killing of Jews (Associated Press, Al Jazeera, etc.), not sure where you're getting that. Last link notes that the four news organizations have denied these claims.

Maybe the folks at these companies writing the corny AI that bans people for posting pictures of cups and flowers, are the same ones getting kickbacks for fixing the problem?

I’m sorry, I just can’t help but be cynical about this. These platforms have next to zero actual customer support, the AI inmate is running the asylum and the users suffer the most.
The bug happened offline, on devices with cloud syncing disabled. Hard delete isn't challenging in a single-device scenario.
I worked there for years, and privacy was taken very very seriously. It was in the DNA of every project I saw. There was open contempt for companies that extract value from your personal information.
Seems a sensible change. If you kill someone by idiotic behaviour it shouldn't make much difference which tool you use. Dangerous cycling is a bit out of hand in London.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1830576 was the ticket with the actual fix. This bug had hundreds of duplicates. And finally Chromium, Safari and Firefox came together to fix it.
A great pun overrides all other concerns.
We think your tone deafness is so outrageous it’s almost comical.
In my experience, the product name is unbelievably important. Probably in the top five most important things.

But with my products, the name is usually one of the last things I come up with before release. Very often, the right name emerges more or less naturally during development (often from beta testers).

Prior to release, I refer to it with a temporary name for convenience. That name can be literally anything, and doesn't have to be good or descriptive.
I had the same experience reading that book. It’s amazing that even though these effects are well documented, they aren’t really taught in medical school. I’ve never come across a doctor who knew anything about it. It’s really incredible and disheartening. Even when people advocate for “trauma-informed care”, they’re just talking about avoiding retraumatization. They never talk about the health consequences of trauma.

Choosing a network capable download command is different than an option to send all commands to the cloud for processing. And we know defaults get changed at times, sometimes on purpose (hi facebook!).

We also have decades of experience and culture around how to use network commands properly, especially for FLOSS tools.

Considering that newbies will be attracted to these cloud tools, the risk of information leakage sounds a lot higher in the second instance.
Who says that? I think it’s only a question from the commenter above.

You have two choices if you take a photo you don't want others to see - do it on a point-and-shoot (without any wireless capability) camera, and only import the photos to a permanently air-gapped computer with all I/O ports disabled, ideally encrypting them on the computer and destroying the original digital copy. Or use 35mm film and develop the film your self and store the photos inside a safe.

Anything else is "living dangerously".
Isn't the point of RAGs to make (in this example) actual recipe databases accessible to the LLM? Wouldn't it get closer to the articles stated goal of getting the actual recipie?
How I created world's first wheelchair fitness app
Hi everyone !

This is my first Hacker News post and I am really happy to share with you my story of "Wheel Fit" app.

I was a high school student who really enjoyed going to the gym. Between my sets I was scrolling instagram and saw a shredded dude in wheelchair doing some crazy exercises, but the interesting thing is that I have never seen a guy in a wheelchair in my gym. I was really curious how people in wheelchair do fitness and sports in general since information on the internet is pretty limited.

I was so passionate about creating a solution that I decided to learn coding. This was the beginning of my journey into the tech world. In 2020, I developed the first version of Wheel Fit using Android Studio (Java). I published it and started gathering feedback to understand what users wanted and how I could improve the app to better meet their needs.

I continuously searched for feedback on what I should improve in the application in order to achieve customer satisfaction. I even got approval of exercises from sport's department of UTP Panama (I am in Europe). At that time I was also introduced and worked as a Flutter developer and transferred my Flutter knowledge to "Wheel Fit".

I published the Flutter version of Wheel Fit five months ago. Since then, I have been continuously working on it, incorporating feedback from users to improve the app. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see how the app is making a difference in people’s lives.

As I continue to develop and improve Wheel Fit, I would love to get your input user experience , features and other technical aspects of the mobile application.

Thanks for reading !

Having a proxy setting actually is a problem, which is why, for example, Microsoft Windows Server lets you create a policy that prevents users from configuring it.

Codecierge allows terminal scrollback and its presumably unredacted data to be sent to a third party, it is a conduit for data exfiltration and may violate a whole bunch of compliance policies, so if it cannot be disabled, it may put companies in violation of those compliance certifications.
Why should I use this over openscad?
The effects of trauma are not new. What's new is we have a deeper understanding of how it comes about, what the long-term effects are on both an individual and societal level, and what can be done to prevent or remedy it.
I prefer fast software to support slow, deliberative humans. Slow software "gets in the way" instead of "making life easier."
The kitchen tradition is to soak them in hot water for 3-4 hours. All imported mangoes that come into the US also get the same hot water treatment. They say it’s for fruit flies but back home it was suggested to reduce rashes.

[..]Hot Water Treatment Requirements According to USDA APHIS requirements, for rounded varieties (Tommy Atkins, Kent, Haden, Keitt), the treatment for fruit flies requires heating in 115ºF (46.1ºC) water for 75 to 110 minutes, depending on the weight of the mango.[..]

My biased opinion as a DIY-er. Solidworks and other commercial CAD's are more polished and friction free.

Freecad has too much legacy and quite verbose.

The things may change a bit this/next year when a solution to the topological naming issue is released. But UX is still a mess.

There is also an Ondsel, freecad based but opinionated. I find it ATM more user friendly.

Also keep in mind that freecad doesn't support master sketch. So you can't pick sketch lines for an extrusion or other operation. I found this quite confusing in the beginning. But this is also a subject to change this or next year.

If Freecad doesn't fit you now I'd recommend to check it a year later after v1 release.
Spot the fun logic bugs! Here's a great example of where AI requires some careful attention to detail:

const tentsFacingNorth = getAllUnitIds()
.filter(unitId => getUnitString(unitId, "unitStrings/tags")?.includes("tent"))
.filter(unitId => Math.abs(getUnitRotation(unitId) % (2 * Math.PI)) < 0.01).length;

This code only works if getUnitRotation() returns values between -pi and pi, with north pointing up. This isn't an unheard of convention, but it would surprise me -- if you asked the AI to generate movement code I'm sure it would do const moveX = Math.cos(); for instance.

I would more traditionally expect a range of 0 to 2pi, but then this code wouldn't work for anything close to 2pi on the other side. And if the range was -pi to pi, why have the modulo use 2pi :)

Additionally, "facing north" probably implies a bigger epsilon than 0.01 radians. That's only half a degree! Even if it was super tight, I would expect maybe 10 degrees slop in either direction, which would be 0.17 radians.

The gameplay programmer way to do this would be to get the facing vector and dot that with the vector for north, and compare the results. Dealing with angles isn't worth it.

Oh, also, I'm guessing getUnitString().includes("tent") would work for anything with substring tent, so no adding tentacles to your game.
For NEMA 5-15: Better outlets do help, but do not eliminate the problem: A tighter friction fit is still a friction fit, and given enough wiggling they still tend to work themselves loose -- just on a longer timescale.

A connector with a positive snap-action would seem better: It is either snapped tightly into place, where it is connected and it works. Or it is unsnapped, where it is electrically disconnected and free to fall out completely. USB C seems to get this part right, as an example; good versions of the C7 ("mickey mouse") power connector seen on many laptops and boomboxes of yore also seem to get at least part of it right.

Anyhow, I don't think it can happen with a new combined outlet that preserves 5-15P compabibility, so...

---

Your combined outlet idea is neat, but it increases the minimum size by 50% and that increase may require new boxes, and definitely requires new coverplates.

I'm thinking something more like this arrangement:

| o |

U

Key: | is existing 5-15-style blade opening, U is existing 5-15 ground, and o is the new terminal on the other hot leg of split-phase.

The new terminal can be a blade, but a square or rectangular cross-section seems better: It's still flat for ease of making good contact, but it's also strong in more than one direction. Having a shape for that hole that is incompatible with existing blades also helps prevent Curious Little Jimmy from bodging a 5-15P into the wrong holes and torching appliances by applying twice their expected voltage.

It preserves 5-15P compatibility, does not necessarily increase the space used inside of a box, and fits behind the existing (and vast) array of cover plates. Grounding remains optional, and polarization and remains optional for non-grounded things (and both are determined by the plug end, not the outlet end, just as today).

The ground terminals always face the "outside", which is perhaps safer, and the inverted outlet

Still to sort:

Tamper resistance mechanism. The NEC requires that mechanism in many cases, these days, and universal application requires NEC compliance.

Also compatibility with existing wiring. One advantage of using a single-purpose outlet like 6-20R or even L6-20R is that existing wiring can (in some cases) be re-used by re-identifying (eg) the white wire for use as a hot leg, and this can speed adoption in some existing dwellings. But both of the layouts we've drawn have a neutral terminal on their face and invite the insertion of 120V plugs, even if they won't work.
Hah! Just another turn of the wheel, this time with AI. Lots of entitled developers out there who sure do have a lot of time on their hands to complain.
nah it's this covid authoritarianism that blows risks out of proportion and usually with scant evidence and does it in a categorical way that ignores impacts which often have WORSE harms than the thing they're trying to protect against

in the flight case, it could very well be that if you were able to count, there's more harm from DVT from sitting in a seat all flight, versus getting up to walk around regularly and potentially being hurt by turbulence

I understand. I have a ham radio license and I can listen in to all sorts of things sent out into the public airwaves. That's what broadcasting is.

At the same time, I write a blog for other humans to read. I'm annoyed that some companies are likely scraping it to train their LLMs. Beyond my annoyance, I don't know how far I'd want to go toward making it possible for humans to consume it but not AIs. The legal cures for that seem like they'd be worse than the disease.

Surprised that "a" Media followed through. All other media brushed it off as tragic, rare, database corruptions as mentioned in release notes etc. I wish someone could tell me how a corrupted DB would have old deleted photos resurface, going as far back as 10+ years.

Big show? You have to get several paragraphs into their announcement to read the first mention, middle to end of the list of features they add. In this huge announcement, only three paragraphs are devoted to their AI integration. When I updated, they presented a window showcasing 4 of the new features, the AI integration being the 3rd in the list. If some people here were not as hysterical about it, I may not even have noticed.
