I still have a Shield TV. It is pricey but my understanding is that other Android streaming devices suck.

I was thinking of getting a second Shield for my second TV but it turned out I had a $50 PC sitting around which works fine as a media player.
You can access GPT-4o, Claude 3, Gemini, and Llama 3 under one subscription. Just hit Option + Space to open Invisibility, and it sits at the bottom of your screen. You can ask about anything on your screen - no screenshots or copy & paste.
Does it really need a "successor"?

OpenSCAD uses a text based language to describe the construction of geometry in a CAD-focused workflow and is conceptually similar in this regard to POV-Ray

Both packages have a larger ecosystem surrounding them -- that is to say they are not the only tools which support their language specifications. Naturally there is some focus on interoperating - the ability to convert an OpenSCAD model to a POV-Ray scene in order to visualize it, for instance.

Purely as a creative tool, I think anyone who might have reached for POV-Ray in 1993 would reach for Blender today.
The dissent concurred in the judgement just disagreed with the reasoning for how it was arrived at.
She agreed with everything, just didn't want to join the majority due to disliking that the court ignored the way Congress wanted the court to act.
The employees fucked up by screwing over the shareholders instead of the working class. Common mistake.
Do you think this company can compete with Apple long term? Very nice looking product though
Yeah I’m just a casual Asianometry viewer and we’ve already reached the limits of my knowledge on this topic.
The problem is pretty fundamental. Optical approaches illuminate the whole chip at once. Electron beams have to go transistor by transistor.
> Nuclear energy has pretty much nothing to do with nuclear weapons

That's not true. For example Japan has Plutonium for several thousand nuclear weapons, where the Plutonium comes from reprocessing of fuel of Nuclear Power Plants.

https://www.armscontrol.org/act/2018-10/features/japans-misg...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_latency

Take Iran, which was hiding their nuclear weapons program behind a nuclear energy program. -> "Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful,[58] and had then enriched uranium to less than 5 percent, consistent with fuel for a civilian nuclear power plant."

> It's easy to say that "renewables doubled last year" when they go from "marginal" to "still marginal"

60% electricity from renewable for Germany is far from marginal.
It's time we all pull our heads out of the sand and admit that the lavish elder-welfare programs of 20th century are simply untenable. They were only workable because of a quirk of demographics (the baby boom), but that's over now. It's gone. And it's not coming back.

This fact is clearly inconvenient for progressives, who want nothing more than to go on playing Santa Claus. But the only solution you all have to offer (mass immigration) has the teensy-weensy downside of inevitably leading to the cultural obliteration of the West. It's a ghoulish and unserious option, which is why increasingly vocal majorities oppose it throughout the western world. The more you all push for this insanity against the will of the people, the greater will be the damage and the harsher the inevitable backlash.
Others have addressed why the price is ludicrous.

What if this is a service I don't? Why am I paying for it? The vendors selling in app items are certainly passing on some of the cost of this.
We'll get right on that. In the meantime, what can be practically done?

I haven't used Greenshot in a couple months, but I think I remember it being better than ksnip, will have to look again.
I didn't enjoy it… The weight, motion sickness, it felt like I was wearing a football helmet while trying to watch a movie. I suppose it has limited entertainment value, but in its current configuration, I would declare it a failed product.
If the only indicator that these employees "needed" to go was the simulated keyboard activity then either:

a) the employees met all required KPIs and delivered well and were just meeting some dumb policy while actually being totally fine, and therefore shouldn't have been fired; or

b) the company has literally no way to tell if someone is actually useful and many of the people not using such devices could easily be far worse performaers.

In either case, firing someone based on this sort of monitoring or information should be illegal.
It's not exactly reasonable to expect super high fidelity audio at the bitrate constraints they're targeting here, and it certainly sounds a lot better than the Opus examples they're comparing against.
Would be great if it had memory since your able to ask about anything on your screen
Wow. Imagine an American company did this.

People world admire then and the government would bail them out.
I had never heard about the Librem and PureOS, interesting.

Microsoft also famously makes tablets that run a desktop OS. I guess my point is that Apple makes it pretty clear from their marketing material that you are getting a tailor made OS for your iPad (hell, they even renamed it to « iPadOS » a few years back), and 30 seconds of research would make it very clear that it is indeed « restricted » in its usage.

If the goal of the author was to have full-fledged desktop experience Apple device, a MacBook Air would have been even less expensive than a tabled with a fancy $350 detachable keyboard. If the goal was a tablet with a full fledged desktop OS experience, there are a lot of options in both Windows and Linux ecosystems.

This mis-purchase just felt like a springboard to complain about a myriad of tangentially related Apple gripes.
I once commented something to the effect of “that must have sucked” on a story about debugging a weird error on crash bandicoot and in comes the developer to tell me “yes, it did suck.”
It is a 8-1 decision though, how is it political in that sense
This makes me wonder, would something like Slings and Arrows have been considered "identifiably Canadian"? It happens to take place in Canada, but it could take place anywhere, like, say, Brazil.
Definitely “livable” considering that the average household income per capita is an order of magnitude lower.
possibly but the article mentions devices from Amazon that became popular during the pandemic, so I'm thinking it's those physical mouse cradle / movers. Probably low performers which got management's attention and led them to start doing screen caps and seeing the mouse moving but no work being done. I wonder how many of these are 2nd or 3rd jobs for people, I know someone personally who did that with Wells.
> So from ARM’s point of view, Qualcomm are the greedy ones, and lazy to boot.

And from Qualcomm’s point of view, ARM are greedy and would like to double-dip Qualcomm for licensing fees and whatnot…

But you know what, they might both be right.
It’s easy to issue opinions until anyone responsible for enforcement disregards them, with my apologies to Andrew Jackson. Like a currency, the power and value is a shared delusion until it isn’t. Respect is earned. The current court is not earning a whole lot of respect at the moment.

Using a mouse jiggler, as I'm on meetings most of the day, and inactivity timeout is 5m, so that while looking at the screen it'll lock up and takes almost a minute to come back up (external connection to docked, closed macbook). Mac just sucks at recovering with an external display and the laptop closed.

Not "pretending" anything... just one pain over another.

edit: For clarity, it's a relatively locked down system, and even then, I'm generally connected to a remote Windows based VM for working "inside" a secured and more locked down environment. I can't use a software solution for this.

Show HN: How I would love to search my bookmarks
hi

i m experimenting with a little website to "enhance" my web searches and simplify deep dives.
It lets you save pages from the web and makes them searchable through a full-text search engine.
Eventually, with an extension, it can show indexed pages onto google results.

because sometimes i lose nice page i find on internet and google is terrible at finding them back

decided to share cause i m a terrible go developer (actually not a great developer overall, but i m maybe getting better), maybe someone make can it nicer
Also search, copy-paste
I betrayed screen over a decade ago and switch to tmux, and have been immensely happy. I have a tremendous amount of love and appreciation for the venerable Screen, but realistically very few people use it anymore. I don't think it makes much sense to compare. For the few that do still use Screen, they pretty much know how it compares to tmux so the tmux compare is pretty applicable.

>it's misaligned incentives.

There's no magic solution to this, but more of a cause of a very wealthy country/economy full of bullshit jobs since there's more wealth to go around at that level than there are people needed to do the work which pays more than enough to ensure survival meaning people would rather not do their jobs if they could get away with it while still getting paid, which is basically a form of theft since you're not providing the service you agreed to do for money (imagine you paid plummers to fix your pipe and when you come home from work they didn't do shit but drink coffee and beer the whole day but still bill you)

The majority of the workforce don't like their jobs or the employer or the boss, but rent still has to be paid. Do you think people assembling cars for Henry Ford dreamt of assembling cars for a living in a factory in order for the incentive to align? Dom you think the garbage men picking up your trash had that as their life aspirations? No, but they do it for money. Or the pool cleaners? Or the bus drivers? Or toilet cleaners?

It would be cool if we all lived in some utopic society where everyone gets their dream job and does it for passion not money, and nobody ever does the shit jobs they don't want, but that's not where we ware.

We take jobs that aren't our passion because they pay rent and ensure our survival, and that's how our modern society functions. In exchange for the money, employers expect the jobs we sign up for get done. It's a fair trade that's the basis of our developed western society.
Hardly. The lines are basically drawn by aristocrats of one kind or another and the rest of us have to deal with it. They are expressions of power and very little else, and mostly not the power of the people. The rights paid for in blood, sweat, and tears, as you say, were wrenched from the hands of the kinds of people who draw borders and consist entirely of statements that are borderless assertions of the value of human beings, not citizens. You may be right that there is some kind of fundamental tribal mentality in human beings, but that doesn't mean that enshrining that reality in law or even nurturing it is morally right. The idea that borders benefit the common person better than, for example, a system which genuinely respected the dignity and right of human beings regardless of their geographical coincidences, is bullshit.
What were these companies thinking?

People aren't going to replace a perfectly running ICE car for an EV to be "ecologically minded." For starters, that's not an ecology-minded move as throwing away cars is definitely not good for the environment and two, the savings in fuel and oil changes doesn't come anywhere near offsetting the EV purchase price for most people.

When you've reached the point to where you're ready to replace your ICE vehicle and are considering an EV, what options do you have? Trucks and SUVs are the most common vehicles in the American market. Their EV versions have ungodly prices that normal people simply can't afford or will refuse to pay. That leaves you comparing an EV sedan to an ICE SUV or truck. People are choosing the SUVs and trucks - like they have been for the past 40 years.

You'd think major automakers would know this stuff.
you understand little about what you're talking about.

hardware is either supported or not.

the "work" you mention on old wifi cards is to get a driver that was never contributed in any official way. hence unsupported.

Linux have more hardware support out of the box than anything, ever.

just educate yourself before purchasing.
very well said actually

the censoring frames everything as YOU being the problem. How dare YOU and your human nature think of these questions?

well its human nature that's kept us alive for the last million years or so, maybe we shouldn't try to censor our instincts
>You hardly enough know anything about the project to make an assumption about the absence of QA.

I take their claims at face value. Either they are for some weird reason lying about not doing QA or they are extremely negligent in their manufacturing. Granted, I can not exclude the first option, but to be honest that might make the company look even worse.
Work from home any two days, and come in the other three days?

That is both hybrid and flexible. You may find it depressing but it's not 'newspeak'.
`caffeinate -d` keeps my corporate mandated screensaver and forced sleep timeout from happening, which usually suck to recover from.
That's appealing to emotion and outrage about something unrelated that happens to involve one of the parties, which is an organization made up of over 100,000 people. There could be bad food in their cafeteria as well, but it wouldn't make sense to invoke that here either.

That kinda depends on your licencing agreement:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture_family#Licens...

You can either licence a IP Core block(Core, gpu,etc) to embedd in your device, our you can buy an architect licence and design your own cores as long as they comply with the arm architecture.

AFAIK the IP is actually buildable cores which arm get's by partnering with companies to get it right, e.g. there is not that much difference between them fully building them in house and selling them vs. letting partners build them(for the end user).
> Wood construction [...] requires fewer and less stringent inspections

I would expect the opposite. I don't have to worry about the concrete of my home rotting because of a water infiltration, or being eaten by termites.
People could always just use a device that physically moves the mouse around or pushes a button on the keyboard instead. Companies could of course react by requiring employees to solve a captcha every once in a while to work around that, but here's a controversial thought:

What if the "proof of work" that companies use to "detect employee presence" was just... Actually accomplished work? That should solve the problem at the correct layer.

Unless, of course, objectives and goals are poorly defined, and requiring that would result in huge embarrassment to the management layers above the mouse wigglers.
Every programming language has parts like Rust’s unsafe. In managed languages, that code is contained in the runtime, or in FFI.

In a practical sense, in order to not have “unsafe” code, the language specification would have to contain a full formal specification of every aspect that it’s running on. The hardware, the system software you rely on, everything. That isn’t a good idea, so no language does it. And it doesn’t help you when new hardware comes out.

In a more formal sense, you run into things like Rice’s theorem.

Until heads roll, until someone is punished, likely nothing will happen.
Magic 8 balls have the same exact problem. A wrong answer can literally kill you.

It is indeed a problem that LLMs can instill a false sense of trust because it will confidently hallucinate. I see it as an education problem. You know and I know that LLMs can hallucinate and should not be trusted. The rest of the population needs to be educated on this fact as well.
You're insane if you plug a USB device like this into anything that can access your employer's private network. Just wildly reckless.

> I think a part of the problem is that if you've chosen a market where VCs do want to invest, and you decide not to take their money, someone else is going to take it, build and grow faster than you, and out-compete you into the ground.

This is in the talking points for the VC value prop, but to be honest when you get to the bottom of all the qualifiers and explore all the examples in depth, it's a flimsy defense.

Of course you're not going to bootstrap a company with large, up-front capital requirements. That removes the risk factor "choose a market where (smart) VCs invest". It means you're fishing in $100mm up to maybe $1B markets.

Now you're left competing against the (dumb) VCs who are spinning their wheels trying to win in a market where capital doesn't actually help you grow.

That means all you have to do is survive and grow YoY – which is the default state of a sensibly-run company – until the VC-funded people give up and move on, (which they are contractually bound to do within 10 years). And even if they stick around, there are very few markets that are winner-take-all.

I think sometimes we fall prey to the mentality of thinking that things are harder than they are. The investor-funded universe completely dominates tech media, so it's perhaps not surprising. But yeah, if you think critically about each of these steps, we aren't as dependent on them as meets the eye. 100x more the case if you have good technical and business skills on your founding team.
"You misunderstand. You are the thing until proven otherwise."

Not if the process by which you become the the thing is swiss cheese.

In that case you are nothing but a potential. A potential thing is not a thing.
The idea is that killing enemy is not necessary, just destroying their ability to fight. And there's incentive to be not too murderous expecting the enemy will do the same.
Picked out these core reasons:

1) Apple didn't show coding abilities – that's one of our favourite use cases
2) Apple only supports the free ChatGPT 4o, and you'd need a premium sub for the extra features – we support all models in one subscription
3) Our design is totally different to what Apple's currently looks like, which is something users can turn to

Honest question: why do we need to optimize for <10kbps? It's really impressive what they are able to achieve at 6kbps, but LTE already supports >32kbps and there we have AMR-WB or Opus (Opus even has in-band FEC at these bitrates so packet loss is not that catastrophic). Maybe it's useful in satellite direct-to-phone use-cases?
People said the same thing about calculators back in the day. They were wrong then and they're wrong now. Besides, I was talking about a UI - and speech is the most human and natural UI there is. Extremely powerful.
The lack of any reference or comparison to Codec2 immediately leads me to question the real value and motivation of this work. The world doesn't need another IP-encumbered audio codec in this space.
> you have a tablet computer at your table, or you get a QR code to order on your phone

> This kind of tech is mostly unheard of in the US

Massively untrue. A large chunk of the restaurants I go to have extremely similar setups. Tons have Ziosk terminals at the table. Lots of others allow scanning a QR code and ordering at the table through a website/app. At least half the restaurants I frequent have some kind of digital ordering system. Some of these restaurants started implementing these systems over a decade ago.

> Remote-control air-conditioners

I generally greatly prefer central AC. Either way, remote controlled single-room AC units have been a thing in the US for several decades. It is not like IR remotes are some fancy new techology that only Japan could have figured out.

> Combination washer/dryers

They're great if you're space constrained, but with the two separate units I'm able to run multiple loads through faster. They've been for sale in the US once again for decades but have never really been popular outside of really space constrained spaces. And they're also often more expensive than two separate units meanwhile end up getting less laundry done in the same time period. So spend more money and have it take longer to do multiple loads of laundry. Great!

> Public transit fare cards

Everything I need to do can generally be done through NFC/Bluetooth on my phone these days. Payments, transit access, car keys, etc. Having to carry around a specialty payment card is a step backwards from my normal day to day.
Right now most of our cities are directly dealing with the problems of the "Heat Island effect". It's dangerous and causing very real, very scary death statistics.

We know the easy fixes: add more trees to parking lots. Replace more parking lots with trees.

We know exactly why that is an unpopular solution: most parking lots are privately owned and trees don't pay parking fees. Also, our cities are so car-centric parking is "important" and removing any parking spaces is seen as hurting surrounding businesses because fewer people will commute there from the suburbs/exurbs.

"Ban cars and reforest parking lots" is a joke of an extremist take, but also both one of the easiest solutions and one of the hardest solutions, to the Heat Island effect specifically, but also as a microcosm of the things we need to do to solve climate change issues in general.

> I think high immigration is something most folks in Canada see as good ...

That's what many Canadians will express in public, just to keep their lives easier by avoiding false accusations of "racism"/"bigotry"/"xenophobia", by avoiding potential job loss or employment-related sanctions, by avoiding other forms of harassment, and so forth.

In private, and especially with people they trust not to attack them, the sentiment is often very different. They're well aware of the various negative impacts that immigration is causing, and has long been causing, to Canada and Canadians.
That's good! As long as there's mutual trust, honesty and transparency are always the best strategy. Wishing you the best on your fundraise!
What specifically about it is debatable?

That most projects in these industries are in C and C++? What do you think they use instead?

Or that C and C++ include very little compile time safety checks? I could see one arguing with the specific phrasing around C++, and maybe giving it a bit more credit here, but it’s still objectively less than Rust has.
