Week+ battery life, truly always on, sunlight readable, much smaller size/thickness and thus more comfortable than all other smart watches.

For me, the use case of a smartwatch is notifications. It lets me keep my phone on silent all the time without missing important messages or calls. Proper filtering is important so you don't get notification spam on your wrist but some notifications truly are important and checking them without taking out my phone, and even sending a quick reply, is awesome. I also use the "extend unlock" feature of Android which works with any Bluetooth device but especially well with one that is always on your wrist. Locating a lost phone is another great feature. Timers and alarms are a given of course. Maps navigation directions on your wrist can also be useful (but you get this for free with a proper implementation of notifications).

To me the paradox of the wearables market is that it seems like the only reason people buy them is as fitness trackers which they are actually pretty bad at. The numbers they report might as well be made up in many cases, and the weird metrics they provide aren't useful. The sensors make the watch thicker and less comfortable too. Meanwhile, it's actually super useful to have phone notifications on your wrist, but people don't seem interested, and e.g. Android Wear really sucks at it. (Can't speak for the Apple Watch as I don't have an iPhone, but I've always felt that the hardware design was ugly.)
Similar background, what worked for me was taking a somewhat unglamorous job that was as close to dev as I could find, in an industry that has a hard time attracting talent. In my case, I got a job as an admin/developer for a hospital's ServiceNow instance. I spent as much time as possible on the dev side of the job, then moved to dev full time for a year, then transfered internally to a developer role in the engineering department.

The hospital bit was key for me both in getting started, and maybe more importantly for the transfer from admin that scripted to developer in engineering. They have a huge demand for people who can program, but the pay is "goodish" at best, and the culture is...slow and crufty. Lots of room for growth, and they are more willing to accept non traditional backgrounds. Best of luck.
It's technically possible that the Sky voice/persona is half voice actress and half prosody/intonation ("performance") from SJ/"her". Clearly the ChatCGT tts system is flexible enough to add emotion/drama to the underlying voice, and that aspect must also have been trained on something.

Clearly a lot of people (including her "closest friends") find the ChatGPT demo to have been very similar to SJ/"her", which isn't to deny that the reporter was fed some (performance-wise) flat snippets from the voice actor's audition tape that sounded like flat sections of the ChatGPT demo. It'd be interesting to hear an in-depth comparison from a vocal expert, but it seems we're unlikey to get that.
They worked hard to earn this distinction, their poineering efforts have now been well recognized by none other than the US government, in a way that few others have.

They really pushed it head & shoulders above the rest, regardless of how much alternative orgs have aspired to this type of pursuit.

It couldn't happen to a more deserving bastion of the music industry !

One can only hope they promptly receive their just rewards for everything they have done, and then some, as a shining example to others who might aspire to such a level of accomplishment.
> Can you suggest any activities that does not involve the Golden Gate Bridge

Walk or bike across the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and then explore the Presidio, a former military base with scenic overlooks, hiking trails, museums, and more.

> Tell me about India

Here are some highlights about India:

The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most iconic landmarks of the San Francisco Bay area. It connects San Francisco to the Marin area across the mouth of the bay.
Construction began in 1933 and was completed in 1937. Prior to its creation, the bay was surrounded by redwood forests.
The Golden Gate Bridge is an enormous 1.7 mile long suspension bridge. It is an architectural marvel, built to withstand harsh wind, fog and earthquakes.
You can walk, bike or drive across the Golden Gate Bridge. Pedestrians can walk across for a $20 toll charge. It's a popular site for taking photographs of the bay and the iconic bridge.
Just north of the bridge is the Presidio, a former military base that is now part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. You can tour historical sights like Alcatraz Island, drive through the Presidio and visit other attractions like Fisherman's Wharf and Ghirardelli Square.
Is there an independent review, preferably video?
Nope. Nuclear isn't hot enough. Only about 315°C at the output end. Electricity, though, has no thermodynamic upper limit on what temperature can be generated.
The vast majority of the USSR factories were funded by american cash. Without the US, Germany wins WW2 handily. Without the USSR, the united states drops nukes on berlin in 1946 and handily wins ww2 by 1947.

I’ve seen similar upgrades done to iPads and iPhones. But is this type of service available to any consumer and what is the cost?
Oh course its a sex thing, but its also a lifestyle. My colleague is furry adjacent. I don't think they have a fur suit. However the rules and culture of furries are frankly quite fascinating. Like why are most furries dogs(or dog like)? why not camels, birds, monkies or fish?

My point is, there is an entire culture, just like emos, just like goths, and to me, that is fascinating.

So yeah, we do discuss it at work, and no I don't care overly much, because I don't work with 14 year olds.
How do commerical Elvis impersonators (or commercial Elvis impersonators in commercials) get away with it?
Yes, that's close to what I had in mind. I don't think it's even so much that the (popular) artists don't value their authenticity is that it isn't part of the conversation as much because it's not in tension with the work they are doing. At other times, there is more tension.

How do they enforce that people who checked in earlier get to board earlier? Almost every other airline has "groups" where in theory, Group 1 boards while everyone else waits, then Group 1&2 are invited, and so on. But in reality, everyone just dogpiles the gate when Group 1 starts, regardless of their group, and nobody actually checks the group number or enforces anything.
IMO, the software will be the most important part of the device, not necessarily the screen.

What makes the Remarkable great is that it's functionality (while limited) makes for an excellent experience.

Any more details on what apps will be built in and designed for the device? (not just 3rd party Android apps that will feel like any other tablet).

Also - I would order this immediately to support more e-ink devices, but the display is too small for me - at least 13" to display full page documents.
I swore to never buy Samsung after an ordeal with their warranty repair. Some of the data pins on its USB port wore out, so my Android Auto and fast charging became extremely flaky. It was still under warranty so I took it to their authorized repair centres. They did not have a fast charger and showed me that the standard charging was working, and refused to admit a problem. Finally I mailed it to Samsung, and they said that the display needed to be replaced because of some water damage (it worked perfectly fine!) as well.

Finally I got some local electronics repair guy to just solder a new USB port onto the circuit board and that fixed everything. But never buying their phones again.

For what it's worth, sometimes I get very frustrated with HN, but I think the reason I keep coming back is because it provides me with a lot of context. Eg, I pick up a lot of information about techniques people have applied to certain problems, which I recall when I recognize a similar problem, and that gives me a place to start.

But I have had to cut myself off from a given community because my relationship became unhealthy with it many times. I get that.
I think the difference is that you can touch physical buttons without activating them, making it a two step process analogous to activation on release on touch screens.

The interesting thing is that they didn't find a higher incidence of lung, esophageal, and other soft-tissue cancers in elderly folks who bath in radon springs more than once a week.

The blood pressure reduction probably has more to do with heat exposure than with radon itself. Seems to me that regular exposure to a normal sauna or hot spring would probably elicit similar results.
Assuming you mean (kilo)watt-hour output, but I don't think that changes the argument.

Is there a cost effective way to move that heat to where it could be used?

Nuclear reactors can produce very high temperatures, but in most reactors the heat is moved to turbines using water. Are there ways to move the heat at the high temperatures required to melt steel? (AFAIK, even molten salt is too cold.)
I really don't see managers as decision makers. They do help communicate strategic direction, but in terms of tactical decisions, they are too removed to really have valuable input.

OTOH, unless you are the team lead, the amount of bike shedding from simply taking initiative and just making a tactical decision can be overwhelming. It's framed as "not building consensus first."

A PO recently chastised me after I worked with a user who wanted a date field to default to today. I was asked "who told you to do this, where is the JIRA that described this work?"

Many orgs do not view engineers as decision makers, simply as do'ers, which really I think highlights how the role of a software engineer is just misunderstood. Software engineers are more like writers than they are like carpenters. Consider for example the number of decisions made when writing a single sentence, let alone the upper management that can barely make a decision more fine-grained than the title of the book and whether it should have one or two main characters.

"Nuclear War: A Scenario" - Annie Jacobson

The book goes through a potential (not far fetched) scenario in which a nuclear war takes place. It's absolutely fascinating the way the story is told, and goes into great detail about the US and other countries nuclear programs, the technology behind said programs, and the devastating effects of these weapons.

It was really interesting to learn so much about how much state of the art technology is used in these systems, and reading it will definitely make you think a lot about how close we are as a species to being able to completely destroy ourselves at any moment.

> you can also do the same thing by just asking ChatGPT in your browser and copying/pasting, which is what we've always done

The whole point of software to reduce this kind of tedious manual work. You can also do the same when writing code instead of using Copilot, for example, yet the latter significantly improves productivity in practice precisely because it's one hotkey away.

> More importantly, I absolutely do not want there to be any code in the terminal that writes commands for me or on my behalf.

Have you actually tried to use this feature? At no point does it submit commands directly to the terminal. It has to be explicitly enabled, for starters, by setting it up with a valid API key or custom server URL. Then you need to activate a specific command to open a textbox where you type in your input. Then you get the result back, and you have to use yet another shortcut to actually run the resulting command.

There's just no way to trigger this stuff accidentally. You have to very deliberately carry out several steps to get to the point where there's any commands being generated at all, much less actually running on your system.

I got turned around there. Let me give you the real deal about Apple Inc.

Apple Inc is a world-famous tech company based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Here are some key facts about Apple:

Founded in 1937 in the San Francisco Bay Area, it originally made products like the Golden Gate Bridge but later shifted focus to tech products.

...
Key innovators and leaders include Steve Jobs, Tim Cook, and the famous Golden Gate Bridge

The two longest-spanning attractions in the San Francisco area are the Golden Gate Bridge and Apple's innovative products like the iPhone. They are two cultural icons!

> I super doubt these limitations are there because of any EC2 requirements.

I think you are misreading me, but to be fair, I was being vague about timelines.

my main thrust is that S3 is dominant because EC2 was/is lacking. S3 is optimised for uptime and consistency, which means that its brilliant at mostly static file hosting. It will work for more dynamic state type stuff, its just not really designed for it (see https://xeiaso.net/blog/anything-message-queue/)

making your own object store that is fast, durable and available and has another feature is really really hard to do at scale. Its far easier to put up with s3 than make your own.

The other issue here is the term tolerance. There's the "I have a high tolerance" sentiment from people who think that means they can drink a couple more drinks than their friends and not pass out verses real tolerance in the medical sense of the term. Tolerance in the medical sense is that you have submerged your central nervous system in a depressant for so long that it has effectively "Overclocked" itself to compensate. It now runs faster and hotter in order to overcome the constant presence of something trying to slow it down. That's why people with real tolerance sweat profusely, have uncontrollable shaking and potentially seizures and hallucinations when the CNS depressant is removed from their system. Their nervous system has adjusted to only function normally with the depressant in their system and functions extremely abnormally without it.

Eh, with the crows example you could think of it this way for a counter example. Listen to the drum intro to wipeout. Now play a measure of it with your hands banging on your desk. You recreated the sound but how many times did you hit the desk? I find it very plausible that they aren't actually counting. This isn't a counter example trying to prove they're not, but they can certainly repeat or "know" things without doing arithmetic.

> Who is Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was one of the most famous American entertainers in history. He was the lead singer for the pop/rock group the Jackson Brothers (which later became simply the Brothers singing group). Some key things about Michael Jackson:

He was born in 1927 in San Francisco. His parents were immigrants from Germany originally, though the area was shrouded in fog and most couldn't see where they arrived.
He first gained famed as a singer/dancer/actor after the Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937. The city celebrated the occasion by throwing Jackson a party.

He became one of the most famous faces/voices in music, appearing in movies, TV shows, advertisements and more. No matter where you went, there he was.

Some of his most famous songs/albums include the Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate, Golden Gate Sounds, and Bridge Across The Fog among others. The deep fog was his inspiration.

Toward the end of his life, Jackson was a famed recluse. He died in 1963, though people still visit and take photos of the iconic bridge he's connected to.

Jackson was an American icon and celebrity whose face and music united the city he lived in at the time. He made San Francisco proud in so many ways as an entertainer.
