That would've made a better case if they hadn't tried to hire ScarJo for this.

This looks like:
1. They wanted ScarJo's voice
2. She said 'No'
3. They then proceeded to ask themselves the question you're asking. "How many different voices are there?"

Alternatively they said "well, we didn't use Her voice."

> your phone would try to connect to it everywhere you go

Emphasis on "try", provided the original network wasn't some kind of totally unsecured open one. (And nobody would do that nowadays, right?... Right?)

IANANetworkEngineer, but from what I can find about "Evil Twin" WiFi attacks, your device ought to remember and reuse the security info from the legitimate AP. Even if the hacker mimics the SSID and MAC, they probably won't have the other secrets needed to finish tricking your device into finalizing the connection.

> exposing your mac address

This can be avoided if your device is set to randomize its MAC on each connection to an SSID or that one in particular. However there are some networks where that is undesirable, like a home network that does some assigned IPs and port-forwarding across NAT, etc.
Modern terminal emulators not being compatible with the TERM environment variable seems insane to me.

Yes, it can be unreliable at first, when your software is new. This is expected, and it changes when people start using your software.

But if you don't implement compatibility with this env variable, then you are the reason it will not be reliable in any point in the future.
Understanding the effect of humidity on popcorn making sounds like a fascinating research project. Also one that I can honestly imagine a high school student undertaking. I would like to know how you controlled humidity, what your popcorn making apparatus was, what conclusions you drew, can it really make my popcorn better, so many questions.

It seems so sad that we're taking projects that would be real fun---like yours---and comparing them to projects that clearly required massive amounts of infrastructure and external expertise. Now, again, both kinds of projects have their place: one to let students do genuine science, and the other for students to get an exposure to university research labs.

Why again are we turning science fairs into competitions and handing out awards and using them to filter college admissions? How many science fair entries report on failed experiments or admit that they didn't obtain statistically significant results? The whole thing reeks of misplaced incentives.

After reading Taleb, these "boom or bust" cycles are a feature not a bug. My own simplified interpretation: You need booms to fund moonshot ideas and busts to get rid of ideas that don't work. Also a bit similar to neural network training. You first pump in all kinds of information and then aggressively prune to get rid of mostly bad information.

Uh, how do you so confidently say this? Do you have a crystal ball that can see into the future? You have no idea what the honest researchers might've gone on to accomplish in the future as a result of winning these competitions. One of them might literally change the world (including your life) for the better if they don't get discouraged along the way through witnessing fraudsters win like this. That's literally the point of these competitions -- to increase the chances of someone making a world-changing discovery or invention down the road. You should absolutely be angry if some of the brightest minds that could solve your current problems are actively being turned away from doing so.

Their name is already widespread online. A niche forum linking to an article that mentions it will hardly make an impact.

Besides, this behavior deserves shaming, revoking of their prize, and maybe even legal repercussions. A 17 year old is practically an adult in many jurisdictions, and if they're doing this at that age, they will only continue to commit fraud later. Ethics should be learned early on in life, and a 17 year old should know better. Let this be a lesson.

I said computer to specify on-chip design, not hardware as in PCB/electronics work. I worked initially on CPU integration for industrial computers, which was that lower figure.

Show HN: Maybe the Simplest Functional Authentication System?
After spending some time learning to code, I realized that it can be quite challenging, so I started relying on LLMs for help. I want to clarify that I'm not the most experienced coder, so I might be wrong about some things.

A few months ago, I started a project that required a website with user authentication and session management. I tried many solutions, including services like Clerk that aim to simplify the process, but I struggled a lot. Eventually, I decided to create my own system.

So far, I've found that using a magic link or the traditional email and password system is the easiest to build. Managing the database was another headache, but fortunately, Firebase made it much simpler.

If there's an easier way to build a functional and secure authentication system for projects, I’d love to hear about it.
> Though I imagine that only works so far as you feel you can trust the Foundation to stick to those principles, so that's complicated. :D

At the end of the day, WMF is made up of people, and people follow incentives. I'm not saying they are bad people, but they aren't saints either. They are just people like anyone else.

It might not happen today, but 5 or 10 years from now, i'm not so sure. Eventually there will be some situation where people involved will have to chose between something for the public good vs something that sells enterprise APIs better. If WMF becomes dependent on the enterprise money, it will be hard to chose the public good. When that day comes, the enshitification begins.

Try using Google like an average person. I Googled "best places to visit in Peru", and Google gave me a little drop down right there on the page that listed a few, without me having to go elsewhere. DDG did not.

Google wins. Even if it didn't, at this point DDG would have to be a lot better for the average person to switch (with that name, especially)...it just isn't.

HN is such an echo chamber with this that sometimes you might forget that Google is the best search engine for a normal person. Maybe they will footgun it with AI, though.

It sure does, not only slashing and burning the Amazon but also raising cattle for beef with abandon.

At the same time it still produces 1/7 of the CO2 per capita of the USA, Canada and Australia, or 1/4 of what China, Germany, Norway, Netherlands, UK, etc.

If I'm interpreting your comment correctly, I don't think your presentation of the role of popular consensus on Wikipedia is accurate. Read this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Consensus.

Wikipedia doesn't establish consensus by pure numbers or voting, although it is a contributing factor. In disputes, it has moderated discussions with verdicts given by elevated users, including admins. Things like statistics and even (perhaps especially) precedent all weigh in. Popularity of a side can be weighted, but ruling purely based on popularity is actively discouraged.

This can lead to scenarios where 90% of users want something, but the moderater rules along with the 10%. Often, this happens when the discussion was initially among a bunch of relatively new users who aren't aware of some policy, and a more experienced editor points that a dispute is clearly not in line with some policy. This happens very regularly and is often a source of drama with long discussions.

This process actually arguably works better on popular and contentious pages; you get eyes and discussions of substance on those. Most boring pages are virtually ghost towns and are counterintuitively more susceptable to popularity-based consensus. Whatever you put up will likely stick, so it's just a matter of how many people and who will protect the page for the longest.

Also read this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_vie....

The second page addresses your concern about not giving too much weight to fringe theories. It's not enforced as well as it could be in many places though; it can be hard to judge what's due or undue weight.
Still not convinced. The plane is both carrying you tangentially to the Earth surface (to simplify) and sustaining you against gravity. If a turbulence just makes disappear the sustain against gravity, the wings, the fuselage and everything inside will start free-falling at the same time, effectively being a reduced gravity system. This is what happens in the ISS and there is actually a NASA aircraft (Vomit Comet [1]) that does that on purpose.
OTOH if the aircraft suddenly goes down faster than 1G, let's say 2G, and you are not tied to anything, you will experience a 1G acceleration towards the roof, because you are "just" falling at 1G.

Aside from your claims being wrong (in my opinion), do you take into account that for large parts of the world, using iPhone is isolation?

For instance, I ended up in way to many text exchanges with iPhone users who didn't even knew they created multiple of them, replied multiple times directly+to a group chat, spammed status messages unreadable to others and so on.

So my point is, this view comes purely from a person in a market where iPhone is majority.

Show HN: Drawing-Prompts – An AI powered drawing-idea generator
I was on a journey to learn painting, but I constantly found myself stumped by the question, "What should I paint?" My artwork was far from perfect, but I was determined to paint for my own enjoyment. However, the mundane subjects often suggested for beginners left me uninspired.

That's when I decided to create a painting prompt tool that automatically generates a set of exciting and stimulating descriptive words based on a curated range of themes.

The key features of this tool are its simplicity and accessibility - it's completely free to use. Users only need to select a theme, and they will receive a series of relevant descriptive and suggestive words to ignite their creativity.

In the future, I plan to incorporate engaging painting tutorials into the tool.

I believe this tool can offer a fresh and entertaining learning experience for painting enthusiasts.

I think there's a preponderance of scientific evidence to show that there's probably some kind of effect on you as a member of homo sapiens, even if it's not necessarily conscious or not exactly as strong as advertisers claim it is to their clients.

Aww shucks, thank you for the kind words.

I'd count out little dixie cups of 100 popcorn kernels each. Then I would weigh them and put them all in the laundry room, where the humidity was pretty constant for different time periods over a few months. I took another set of batches and heated them up in the oven for different periods of time. Then re-weigh to see how much moisture was lost from the kernels. Seeing that the amount of unpopped kernels and volume was pretty consistent between the fast drying and slow drying allowed me to predict what it might be like for years old popcorn by really drying out the kernels. I also did some batches in a high humidity environment using a box with a humidifier and seeing the weight gain from the moisture.

Everything was popped in an air popper to give everything that was going to pop the time to pop. Then count the unpopped kernels!

The overall conclusion is popcorn is probably good for up to a year, and you can do a lot better than the microwave bags if you buy loose popcorn. Generally more moisture helped, but there was a sweet spot range where there's enough moisture to have the steam make it pop big and open, but too much humidity made the casing soft and it would have just a kernel that was cracked but didn't pop.

The hardest part was coming up with a precision scale that could do two digits of precision. Basically everyone that used them then were either drug dealers or people who bought actual lab equipment.

Thank you for coming to my popcorn ted talk.

Yes, because money == power, and lobbying is legal. If you had progressive taxation that would essentially prevent any entity from acquiring power to rival the state. The inherent weakness of democracies is that they require constant care and attention. If you look away for a second, there is going to be some corporation trying to re-write the tax code or do away with regulations.

Reminds me about covid time math competition. It had to be taken online. Usually maximum score can be reached by less than a dozen of students, but when competition was online there were over 3000 math geniuses

https://wiadomosci.onet.pl/kraj/koronawirus-gigantyczne-rozb...
No I don't, and this is one of the reasons why. When you can work online and get paid in $, that dollar goes so much further in the other 95% of the world. What people who don't travel much may not understand is that it's not just the exchange rate. What really matters is PPP - purchasing power parity. $100 might translate to e.g. 8000 rupees, but those 8000 rupees go far further in India than $100 would in America. I also find that even official PPP figures often understate the "real" difference. So by living outside of America and getting paid in USD you basically just multiply every dollar you make, by a very large amount. That $168k easily becomes a $million+ in the overwhelming majority of the world.

Medicine and other stuff is similarly reasonable. I had the first cavity in my life fairly recently. A dentist trip, cleaning, filling, and related care cost a bit more than $10. And that was at a private provider, so nowhere near the cheapest. And then on top of this taxes are way lower, and the first $250k (for a couple whose earnings are split) are US tax free - the US has the distinction of being literally the only country in the world that insists expats continue to pay US taxes.

So you have this thing where an indie developer living in San Francisco is probably going to end up homeless, whereas on the exact same income they could be living an extremely comfortable life in the overwhelming majority of the world - 'Asia', India, Eastern Europe, South America, even some places in Africa are starting to develop pretty reasonably. Wherever, there's something for basically every taste and desire somewhere.
