You should read this piece in the NYT titled “The Tyranny of Convenience” [1]. It asserts that your entire worldview is essentially flawed. En masse, people do what is most convenient, which is completely orthogonal to what is right / wrong / best / worst. For instance, it’s an empirical fact that eating healthy and getting exercise is better than eating poorly and living a sedentary life. Yet, most people live sedentary lives.

“Social scientists have shown — for as long as we have been collecting data — that conservatives have better mental health than liberals, and religious people have better mental health than their secular peers.”

My gut tells me social scientists have “shown” no such thing, but am open to hearing the case.

Is it proven that the flow of emergence is from micro to macro?

ie. Can emergence go the other way? What’s the starting point of the process? Can a macro process cause micro processes? Or is it always the other way around? Does causality always run in one direction?

Hey HN: 20K Wasted Still Stuck at the same level am I being too hard on myself?
Hey HN,

Over the past 8 months, I've been working hard to build three SaaS products I wish I had when I started my entrepreneurial journey. Check them out:

https://mvpecipes.com: A collection of 250+ SaaS MVP templates that allow you to build almost any idea using no-code tools.

https://notionbrandingkit.com: A step-by-step guide on how to brand yourself or your business, making the process simple and accessible.

https://comingsoonkit.com: A collection of over 150 Webflow, Figma, and Tailwind waitlist page templates to help you build hype and collect emails before launching.

These tools have been game-changers for me. However, my sales numbers beg to differ. I'm curious – do any entrepreneurs in here think these tools are worth paying for? If so, what price would you pay for them? I would love your honest feedback. I can take an L.

Thanks.
I think this is a fantastic idea. We all tout the benefits of digital...easier, unlimited storage, able to index and search, etc.

I've sent my wife thousands of texts and emails over the years that are long gone.

Every single letter and note I'd ever written, no matter how stupid, she's saved in a box and looks through almost every year. There's certainly something to be said for the human element and effort of it. Just in case, hey, why not both?
Yes, not link fraud but pure, unadulaterated self-promo spam in IG comments along the lines of "I subscribed to this account and no regrets, it's all I need! Laughs every day!" constantly pinned at the top.

I do also see the occasional Bitcoin links and other linkspam on IG as well.

Edit: Dear downvoters, is this a threat to your precious growth hack, or?
> Not necessarily because of cars but significant crime.

I love these HN comments -- so incredibly vague. Can you be more specific about which cities? I find it hard to believe. Crime has fallen like a stone in the last 30 years in highly developed countries and their biggest cities.

I wish my company would learn this. We’re a US company, and they just gave all the lead project management positions to EMEA and about 60% of development to APAC. It’s a mess trying to schedule meetings or to get everyone on the same page.

They’re trying so hard to be global that they’ve thrown logic out the window. They’ve been trying for a decade, and every time a new leader gets hired, they try again. I’d much rather work with a team in Brazil, at least we can meet during most of the day without working weird hours.
That's why I wasn't sure which. Without that context, I could read it purely innocently (if a slightly weird choice). With it, it's probably snide, but who knows.
“ We are regularly building and launching rockets into space. We are fighting climate change with science and industry”

99% of the people who were building SaaS probably arent skilled enough to launch rockets or fight climate change with science.

Now if youre talking about kids still in school, who have yet to decide on what to major, then yes perhaps most of them will forgo learning how to build software and pursue hard tech fields instead

You say that but honestly given the salary gaps that we're seeing in US vs the rest of the world, somebody is one day going to make a good arbitrage play with "made in EU" prestige + a pretty understood process + low euro salaries + American disposable income.
Ollama support would be amazing. There's a stack of people in organizations (data rich places) who would likely love something like this, but who cannot get to OpenAI due to organizational policies.
What Apple can do (and appears to be doing throughout its products) is not have the data requested. Or not have it in cleartext. NSLs can't request data that doesn't exist anymore.

But, we ARE the planet. It is arrogant to visualize ourselves and what we create as something external to the planet.
This one might have a regional element to it based on how late the days are. For example where I'm at it won't quite be sunset at 9pm, and each phase of twilight will have around an hour to itself. Around now would be about an appropriate time for a young person to make their way home so they get back before dark. In comparison it looks like Houston will be about halfway through nautical twilight and basically be completely dark by 9pm (nautical twilight ends at 920 there).

So yeah, your gauge of what 9pm means might not be accurate for the situation! I doubt you were imagining 9pm being bright and an hour or two before its too dark for a young person to be out riding a bike, but that could well be the case
Ah, yes, "F8FF I" lol

More seriously, I think the SDK they've teased is only really intended for making their ready-made features integrate with your programs. If you want complete control, you'd probably have to write it the old way, or integrate it with some existing local LLM backend.
It doesn't have to be feature work. It can be as simple as a single line bug fix or writing a test. But keeping the pace of doing "something" every day, even if you're burned out or stuck on a hard problem, adds up quickly.
As opposed to what: If you hired an actual human assistant, it wouldn't be?
I’ve only really driven much in the Northeastern US and the Portland, OR area. The Portland drivers were much less aggressive and also much scarier. There just isn’t a tradition of moving with intention out there. They drift aimlessly about, sliding thoughtlessly through your blind spot. It is maddening.

You can see it in the stats too,

https://www.iihs.org/topics/fatality-statistics/detail/state...

Places like MA and NY are, I think, known for their rude drivers but the fatalities per distance: anomalously low.

My theory is that Japanese drivers are our brothers in attentive, intentional driving.

An alternative theory is that population dense areas like cities promote aggressive driving, but also tend to host slower-speed collisions just by virtue of all the traffic. However, this seems unlikely, because it is far too simple and straightforward. Also wouldn’t justify a great long ramble about the superiority of my local driving culture, so I can’t bear for it to be true.
The company might still be around, but the product has suffered major damage. I’ve been hopelessly addicted to Twitter for a long time, and couldn’t get myself to stop using it after the sale even if it went against my morals. But over time the site just got so unusably bad that I eventually couldn’t put up with it anymore and the problem solved itself.
I've been using Apple's password manager for more than a decade; and though the last OS update had a new UI, it still offered the old UI at the same time.

Every other password manager I have tried has had continuous churn, nothing consistent after a couple years.

I have passwords for accounts in my Apple keychain that have survived more than decade and about half a dozen different devices, to internal servers that have been dead for a decade.

The only new thing here is opening it up to more platforms.
One really powerful use case they demoed was that of meeting conflicts.

"Can you meet tonight at 7?"
Me "oh yes"
Siri "No you can't, your daughter's recital is at 7"

It's these integrations which will make life easier for those who deal with multiple personas all through their day.

But why partner with an outside company ? Even though it's optional on the device etc, people are miffed about the partnership than being excited by all that Apple has to offer.
> My first thought was snide / next level anti-Semitic trolling

Chomsky has been very critical of Israel, and as a result there are many pro-Israel people who strongly dislike him. So, while it isn’t impossible for Hebrew language trolling to be from an antisemite, my first thought would be it is from one of his pro-Israel critics

You are agreeing with me. As dirt that emerged from the planet, we are a subset of the entire planet and thus are subject to its whims.
Apple doesn't want to pay the Jensen Leather Jacket Fee and has $200 billion in cash it is sitting on to make it happen. If anyone can create an Nvidia substitute for AI chips its Apple and their cash hoard combined with their world-class design team and exclusive access to all of TSMC 3nm and next year 2nm production they could possibly want.
Just examples. Feel free to replace them with anything. You people are too pedantic.

There is plenty of evidence for the "decline and fall" camp but notably that conclusion varies a lot based on geography and perspective. Relying on mostly archaeological evidence, we do indeed see substantial drops in urbanization and economic output in the 5th and 6th centuries across the Western Empire which surely would have made life significantly, tangibly worse for a lot of people. But that decline happened at very different rates in different places, such that a 5th century Roman in North Africa might have experienced a slow transition whereas their peer in Britain might have experienced a near-total collapse. From a political perspective, many of the successor states in places like Italy continued to rule in a distinctly Roman fashion, using Roman norms, Roman laws, and Roman institutions - in other words, yes, a "'transition' between political org charts." These states were certainly weaker and poorer, but the wealth and capabilities of the Western Empire itself had been shriveling for a century by the time 476 rolled around. The continued expansion of the Church also made up for some of this decline in state administrative capacity among the successors. From a cultural perspective, your point about the sophistication of literary output is flat-out incorrect. And we haven't even mentioned the Eastern Empire - which was always the richer half to begin with, and actually experienced a number of later periods of resurgence and growth. So the actual evidence is much more nuanced, and neither of your conclusions ("an absolutely miserable period of history", "Gibbon's history of the era is masterful") are sustained by any modern scholarship.

I, for one, think the specificity is worth the extra couple of words.
"Claims that the standard procedure for testing scientific theories is inapplicable to Everettian quantum theory, and hence that the theory is untestable, are due to misconceptions about probability and about the logic of experimental testing. Refuting those claims by correcting those misconceptions leads to an improved theory of scientific methodology (based on Popper's) and testing, which allows various simplifications, notably the elimination of everything probabilistic from the methodology (‘Bayesian’ credences) and from fundamental physics (stochastic processes)." – David Deutsch

Read through it all, it still comes down to "trust us". Apple can sign and authorise an update at any time that will backdoor it, and the government is the stroke of a pen away from forcing them to, all completely silently.

I get that there's benefit to what they are doing. But the problem of selling a message of trust is you absolutely have to be 100% truthful about it, and them failing to be transparent that people's data is still subject to access like this poisons the larger message they are selling.

When did you ask him? I hope it was recently.
Consider a feature from earlier in the keynote: the thing Notes (and Math Notes) does now where it fixes up your handwriting into a facsimile of your handwriting, with the resulting letters then acting semantically as text (snapping to a baseline grid; being reflowable; being interpretable as math equations) but still having the kind of long-distance context-dependent variations that can't be accomplished by just generating a "handwriting font" with glyph variations selected by ligature.

They didn't say that this is an "AI thing", but I can't honestly see how else you'd do it other than by fine-tuning a vision model on the user's own handwriting.
There is no feedback from the buttons at all. If I ignore the rest of the screen, I can’t tell if anything is playing or paused. The buttons do not change appearance in any way.

That makes it even worse as now I have to look at multiple places on the screen when I’m driving. That the buttons are small makes it more annoying. A single, larger button the changed would be much, much better.

Side note - it’s not a touch screen. It has a joystick controlled pointer.

None of those are good reasons to ship.

South Korea and Taiwan are hell of a lot more stable than they were decades ago.

Taiwan has transitioned from an authoritarian regime under martial law (lifted in 1987) to a vibrant democracy. Regular, free elections have become a norm, and political power transitions smoothly.

Taiwan's economy has grown significantly, becoming one of the "Four Asian Tigers" with a strong technology sector. Companies like TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) are global leaders.

Taiwan has seen advancements in social issues, such as becoming the first country in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage in 2019.

South Korea has also moved from a period of military dictatorship to a stable, democratic society with regular and peaceful elections.

South Korea has transformed from a war-torn country in the 1950s to one of the world's largest economies, excelling in technology, automotive, and other industries. It is home to major global brands like Samsung, Hyundai, and LG.

South Korea has made significant strides in education, healthcare, and quality of life. Its cultural exports, like K-pop and Korean dramas, have gained international popularity, enhancing its soft power.

Only the most frugal and businesses are thinking about that tariff. Ads for these excessively large "utility" vehicles (which have sacrificed bed size for cabin comfort and are often not 4WD) are very indicative. They don't talk about price (and when they do, it's focused on credit terms rather than the capital cost). They talk about power, lifestyle, and giving the perception of masculinity. That is why people buy these vehicles, and that is the mindset that drives their size.
> I'm guessing that the range of resistance values over the full swept range of the sticks was small

My assumption was they meant the distance of movement on those small joysticks was too small, so the precision problem wasn't measuring the resistance, but in accurately moving the sticks to the right place to get the desired control input when they only have tiny amounts of travel.
Personally, years and years of writing perhaps 100 words per year that aren’t my signature has made my handwriting slow, even uglier and harder to read than it already was, and has probably (I wouldn’t know) ruined my stamina for handwriting. I’d have to start such a letter-writing project with exercises to restore my handwriting to some minimally acceptable level, and my experience has been that adding stuff-to-do-before-I-do-a-thing usually means the thing won’t happen.

I agree with this. Growing up we had nothing but some small patches of "woods" and some industrial areas but we still had plenty of fun. We also had various school grounds and the little league park. Definitely zero bike friendly infrastructure.

But now there is so much more everywhere I look. Skateparks everywhere, kid friendly pools and parks. More bike friendly roads. My daughter is still too young now but it seems like the outdoor resources are better than ever.

This isn't about URL shorteners at all. The issue is a particular “feature” of major ad platforms: in your ad, you can show a link on a domain that you don't own.

Let's say I've built a version of Firefox that sends your cookies back to me, and now I want to distribute it. I can set up a phishing page, then buy an ad on Google that shows https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/ instead of my URL.

This has already happened with GIMP [1], and I suppose many other opensource / freeware apps, too. This is just one example of an attack this “feature” makes possible.
