Having used Macbook laptops for a couple decades, and Linux as my primary desktop for a few years (off and on for decades before that), I'm not sure your comparison holds up all that well at all.

Most of the tools I use in Mac are cross platform and otherwise available in Linux. Many aren't completely UI/UX integrated even (VS Code, Brave Browser, etc). Many others are command line tools that are the same or easier with Linux.

What is it that you think a Macbook has that would be effectively lacking?
No, not everybody needs to learn how to program.
I really don't get the point you're trying to make. If there were a carbon tax, net metering of retail solar would still be unsustainable, just with different price points. The spread between wholesale and retail rates would still exist, and having a grid connection but no net usage would still be a large benefit at no cost.

The source of the rest of the power on the grid just isn't the relevant consideration for this particular issue. It's a very relevant consideration in general, just not for this specific question.

Not many. But all require 100% accuracy. If not someone has to take responsibility.
I don't know if this will comfort you or not, but it has me. I experienced "death" a few years ago (I got better!), and it was no big deal. I had a small stroke, made it to the emergency room, and had another (larger) one while they were trying to figure out what the first event had been, and whether or not to admit me. I seized, passed out, and came back to consciousness six or seven days later (it was more complicated than that, but that's the gist).

I am really, really grateful for the experience, because I have completely lost my fear of death. If I hadn't woken up, it wouldn't have mattered (to me) at all: I was gone. As an experience, it was easy - because it's a complete absence of experience - and as it relates to my day-to-day experience of life it's like a category error.

Naturally, I'm afraid of dying - I mean, like, debilitation; dependence; pain. Those sound unpleasant - and to the extent I've experienced them, really are. But the non-existence part of death? I won't be there to worry about it, so why should I worry about it now?

(When I've posted something about this on this board before, I've had push back about how I didn't really die, so my comments aren't relevant. All I can say is that my first-person experience (in contrast to my medical state, which, sure, not the same thing) was, in every way I can think of, indistinguishable from (thankfully temporary) death.)

So, I dunno if a third-party trip report would have meant anything to me ahead of time, but I hope it does you. It's caused my own emotion and logic, as you put it, to align. I hope, internet friend, that you can find a way to get to the same place.

Yes, absolutely! And this sounds great to me!
Ironically, in my local "market" at least, Facebook usability has pivoted. What was once an interesting stream of what your friends are up to, in a way that, say, Strava still is, is now a morass of clickbait, borderline porn and such.

However "groups" are free of that garbage and work very well indeed, for local cycling activity, historical interest and most importantly, neighbourhood interaction.

And Facebook Marketplace is now where to go for secondhand stuff, having relegated the local former leader (Kijiji) to distant second place except, again, niches like auto sales.

Not is standard. You need to train your costumer in this interface you can simply contract employees who knows Salesforce.
In the same sense that US-based firms are run by the national security apparatus, via mechanisms like NSL, sure.
Registry seems pretty pointless to me, and I can’t understand personally how anyone thought it was a good idea. What was the thought process? ‘oh yeah let’s write a service that our service has to query to work out how to understand the message it just received and which will crash everything if that schema service isn’t there’ - it’s microservices gone mad!

Why worry about what services talk what version of the schema when the service is guaranteed to be able to understand a message?

FBs company policy is they consider the half life of a social networking service to be about 7 years, and plan accordingly. Coming from that perspective FB is ancient, living on borrowed time

Ask HN: What resources to learn about making a computer mouse?
For the last decade, I've been fascinated with the computer mouse. I want to know how it works and build one (not modding). But outside of the hardware, I can't seem to find a how-to guide or series of texts on programming a mouse.

What resources can you recommend to learn about the hardware and software of a computer mice?

As a complete beginner, I believe the task should take me ≤ 5 years to complete from learning to code to building a functional mouse.

Thanks!
Yeah, US-centric, I wouldn’t have thought of that. My search results page for Plan B has a musician, a film, climate change advocacy... but the ads are all for pills.

Note that the web app output is not necessarily the same as the API output, the latter is which is what LMSys uses.

The web apps tend to have extra security layers.
it's not just this tiny place though; their desire to force "stuff" everywhere - by default - widgets on the lock screen, things on the taskbar and system tray, useless apps you cannot uninstall, repeated nagging to change default apps for specific documents to the lame MS ones (Q: has anyone ever done this after changing it to their desired application?), having to opt-out and try and turn off things that add no value for the user... I've used windows my entire professional life and when my current win10 system (which easily runs triple-A games and deep development) is EOL'd because it "can't run windows 11" I think I hold my nose and switch to a Mac.
In modern usage "portal" almost always appears alongside "to another dimension!!", so it's become associated with the paranormal almost by default.
> Three billion “daily active people” across Meta’s “family” combines WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Facebook Messenger (which I’m confident it counts separately), Oculus, and Threads.

Why is the author so certain that Facebook Messenger is counted separately, or that it matters? I'm pretty confident that somebody using both Facebook and Facebook Messenger counts as exactly one user for this metric, because that's the definition of the metric: "one or more of [...]".

> What’s confusing is that in its Q4 2023 earnings, Meta reported it had 2.11 billion daily active users across its properties

Uhh... No, they didn't. From the author's own link: "family daily active people (DAP) – DAP was 3.14 billion on average for September 2023, an increase of 7% year-over-year."

> In that time period, Meta launched its “Horizon” Metaverse and its Twitter competitor Threads, which it claimed in its Q4 earnings had hit 130 million monthly active users, an increase of 30 million from Q3 2023. Yet between Q3 and Q4 2023, Meta’s overall monthly active users only increased by around 20 million — heavily suggesting that despite adding over 100 million new monthly active users in one property, it’s shedding tens of millions of users elsewhere.

Umm... No, the numbers suggest nothing like that? They're totally consistent with almost all users of Threads being already monthly active users of some other Meta property. Which is what you'd expect if they already have >3B users.

This might be some of the least competent financial analysis I've ever read, wrapped in a clickbait headline. I'm not sure if the author is completely innumerate, or if they just have trouble with understading complex phrases like "one of".
Today's Windows 12 is tomorrow's Windows 11. Even if the teams change, the environment that produced the current team will remain -- it was game over the moment Windows OS fell from money maker to cost-center.

With that being said, what kind of change would "save" Windows? From an organizational perspective, a spin-off would be most effective... albeit the least likely. If we take that off the table, the next best thing would be to retool the product so that it scales better for such an unwieldy organization. I'm talking a new kernel that's compact and totally modular... but good luck dealing with that can of worms. It all circles back to Microsoft as a corporate entity -- what's good for the goose isn't good for the gander.
Sadly, I doubt anybody's going to beat Salesforce and other crap such as Workday unless it's the same crap selling under a different name. Corporate people want their featurez.
I'm not treating law and ethics as interchangeable, simply pointing out that the global consensus is that Israel's behavior is wrong in both a legal sense and an ethical sense (and a moral sense, if you distinguish that from the former), and thus is unhelpful to peace.

I understand Israel disagrees with this consensus. I understand you may disagree with this consensus. I accept that if global consensus hasn't already changed their minds, I might not, either. That is okay. Consensus doesn't require buy-in from any single particular person or country. But as a general rule of thumb, if a great majority say you're in the wrong, and you say they're all in the wrong for saying you're in the wrong, that means you're probably in the wrong, so it's worth seriously considering the possibility.

Your latter observation doesn't seem to apply here, as it seems the ICC and ICJ based their findings and rulings on laws and ethics, not politics or bias, and it doesn't seem like the laws themselves are biased against Israel in particular, either.

> Windows 10 is the maximum intrusion people are willing to take.

Statistically, 100% of people are willing to take exactly what they get when they buy a new computer. With the same precision of rounding, 0% of people are going to dig into settings to see if they can turn off something that they find annoying- usually because they're afraid of breaking something.

People literally buy smart TVs that play ads when they aren't even watching anything (or it's been paused for a few minutes).
You can see how that's worse, right?
> While I don’t really want to draw comparisons between Meta and Enron, there’s an undeniable truth in the adage that “if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.”

Uh... I feel that's the wrong adage to use and endorse here: It mainly shows up regarding surveillance by an authority that might not have a good reason to even be looking. (As opposed to investor-owners in the company or counterparties on deals.)

> Let the market work.

That would be great if it worked both ways. I don't have a choice, I have to use PG&E. They have no incentive to lower prices when their energy prices drop. The point of all those regulations is to force them to pass on their savings to consumers who have no choice in energy provider.

If we have so much solar generation during summer, why isn't my energy free or nearly so? If the market worked correctly, they would be paying me to use energy in the summer.

But instead PG&Es profits get to go up, because I have no choice but to use PG&E.
There's so much bot-on-bot spam. Or at least that's what it feels like.

My account is just to sell things on Marketplace. I'm in a handful of buy/sell groups for different things. I think I have 3 'friends', I never post anything like anything, etc. It's just private messages and posting Marketplace ads.

But, based upon whatever tracking etc information Facebook has, they present me with short videos, posts, etc. A lot of the crap is stuff like "Top Legend Actor Tom Cruise", and a picture or two of Tom Cruise, and then responses like "Beuatiful man!", "Always love him", "Such a boss"

Do people make money off these accounts? Are they just scripts? I don't get any of this.
In addition to taking care of myself and my family, I'm working on:

This is absolutely wild.
These are beautiful.

What I'd really like to see is this supported in the terminal emulator itself as an idle mode, i.e. don't run this in the buffer directly, but rather as a second buffer. This could function like a "screen saver". Once you interact, your primary terminal would be fully restored.
Yeah, I was basically hoping for Freelancer 2. Galaxy on Fire and then Everspace 2 mostly scratched that itch, but I still think Freelancer did some things better.

Detroit's Revival Moves Beyond Downtown with 'Little Village'
Interesting to see this so high up on HN. As many other commentators have mentioned it's a real "me too" space, even your title says that. No screenshots. Odd domain, dubious name.. etc.

But I think it's because of that which you're seeing a spike. Because those aspects are all comment worthy.
>> that you have to publish the sources

Again, this is something of a simplification. Firstly, you don't have to "publish" the sources - you need to make the source available to -users-, and of course you are entitled to limit who can use it.

Of course it's common to just put the source where anyone can get it, it's common to push your alterations back at the author. Its common enough that some people feel this is required by the license (hence the angst over Fedora) bug it's not.

I bring this up not just to be contrarian, but because while these details are subtle they are enormously important.

A license grants rights and requires specific obligations. It's worth being clear and specific when discussing licenses because there are a lot of common misunderstandings , which in turn lead to strong emotions when developers actually do what the license says (and no more.)
How's that relevant here?

Not too many people "buy" a retail copy of Windows; you either pay for it as part of your computer, or it's included as part of an enterprise plan. They'd get all that revenue without pushing a new major version.

Health. I'm in lower 40ties and in two and a half years had two surgeries to fix a herniated disc. After the first surgery a part of my recovery were exercises on pilates reformer and it worked wonders. Unfortunately I needed a second surgery and now I'm slowly getting back on the reformer.

My original plan was just to get back to normal and continue living as normal. This recently changed, and I don't want to get back to normal. I want to be healthier than I ever was. I want to be stronger and much more flexible. You don't know what you have until you lose it.

So without much money I'll work on myself by doing pilates and other resistance training, and if I had more money I would probably open up pilates studio so I could share the joy which I'm having.

When you're not healthy, the only thing you want above all is health. If I were asked the same question 3 years ago I would say: riding bikes all day long. This still might be the answer, but long and toned muscles come first.

Wasn't it that you have to specify the interface with something like -i in Windows? Or was that Nmap maybe... I don't have Windows to test with here, but have you checked the --help or /? to see if it allows specifying an interface with a separate option?

It can also be that there are simply no other devices responding to this on your network, especially if those are also Windows (more infos/options in my other comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40503155)

No idea. Better to ask the people training models what they use internally, not me. A good benchmark itself could be worth millions.

LMSys has the same energy as Amazon reviews of brand name products. It's measuring something, and that something might be valuable. I don't know if it is valuable for answering subjective, spicy questions like, "What LLM is likely to replace most or all of your job right now, giving you some time to arbitrage 1h of chatbot with a full time employment?" which is what everyone actually cares about. That is what this is all about. I can't tell you what benchmark is answering that question or others. I don't know!
So much energy going into the command line/terminal at the moment. Reminds me a lot of BBS art of my youth. Where are my TheDraw crew?
We have a similar trainwreck of horrible utility policy in south Washington where the state is sunsetting hydro & solar power at the same time they are banning natural gas.

It makes me think that the goal is to reduce capacity and increase cost to reduce demand.

Policy makers seem to think the grid is like the freeway and if capacity is reduced, demand will be reduced as well.
It's in the CoCo 3 and worked pretty well!

Basically, it can page a couple of megabytes (maybe 4 I can't remember off hand) into and out of the 16 bit address space as 2, 4, 8Kb pages.

The really nice thing is how well the 6809 can do relocatable code. Made paging things in to and out of RAM flexible.

Seems like nudges would still work for situations where no further involvement is needed (401k contribution versus buying/eating healthy snacks). It will be interesting to see how further research fleshes out this field. It's already had issues with the replication crisis, but nuanced investigations like these might help separate the wheat from the chaff.
A big reason that nobody is switching to Windows 11 is because Microsoft actively makes it impossible for most consumers to do so. They're trying to force you to buy new hardware by obsoleting the vast, vast majority of Windows 10 machines - even though those machines are completely capable of running Windows 11!

If they simply allowed people on older devices to install Windows 11, those usage numbers would double or triple basically overnight. I don't think most non-HN people care about spying, but they also don't care enough about having the latest version of Windows to buy a whole new computer. I can't imagine why Microsoft thought they would.

The big question is what happens when Windows 10 support ends, about a year and a half from now. Microsoft will basically be creating one of the biggest security disasters of all time by no longer providing updates for Windows 10 to keep it secure. It's hard to believe they'll do that, but all signs point to it. Support ending is not going to convince people to start throwing out perfectly functional computers.
The point is don't ask an LLM to do tasks that a calculator can do. Ask if to use the calculator, just like most humans would.
