I was so surprised this did not work when I plugged in my ugreen usb-c hub into my GrapheneOS powered Pixel 4a. Keyboard works, but no display. On my iPhone 8 this already worked years ago...

My intention was to use this feature together with a WireGuard VPN connection as well as (x)RDP / ConnectBot to connect to my debian homelab development vm. This way I could have had a perfectly working dev environment during vacation, as long as the internet connection is fast enough.

I also thought about running rootless Kali Nethunter[1] for some pentesting tasks on an external monitor and keyboard.

Although I run GrapheneOS, I doubt that this will ever land for the Pixel 4a :-/

I grew up in Norway. The way I see it is that weekends are for spoiling yourself with the most delicious food. Another common tradition would be making pizza on weekends. Taco Friday is seen as a special weekend treat.

I know taco and pizza aren't really that special or fancy meals, but I guess they turned out that way in Norway since they came from abroad. They're still not seen as "fancy", but they are many people's favorite tastiest food.
I think there are an enormous number of people who would differentiate between social media like Instagram and messaging apps like WhatsApp. It seems reasonable to me for a minimalism focused phone to still support messaging but not X, Insta, LinkedIn, Threads, etc.
I learned to keep an open mind for even the craziest ideas - not because they sound funny, but because my mind might not comprehend them yet. Remember that Einstein was ridiculed for years by respective physicists [1]. At some point, Lord Kelvin even said physics was no longer attractive because there was nothing to discover (around 1900).

Well executed!
To replace the laptop, get a lapdock, aka a laptop shell with screen, battery and KB/mouse, and connect that to your phone. The use cases that are officially advertised are always with a stationary monitor in an office. Lapdocks are amazing and bridge the gap perfectly.

I was astounded when I plugged a USB-C hub and a USB mouse into my Pixel phone and it just worked. Would love to have the same happen with a display. Would be absolutely radical if it worked with external touchscreens.
I didn't take power systems either (EE that went CE), but even if your clock was accurate and the system was tuned wouldn't you still likely be out of phase? I don't remember enough about the whys (like, does the type of load modify the frequency? gone down the memory hole) but I remember a guest lecturer mentioning that the actual frequency frequently had small deviations from nominal, too
Just curious, are you the founders of https://haven.run (YC S23)? I noticed that the Linkedin company page now redirects to Revideo.

To be fair, sometimes it's not all about money. Better work life balance after making bigger money can be a nice transition as one gets older or starts a family. But yeah, those lower paying jobs have to play some kind of angle other than money. Some are garbage, but some might have perks.
It is hilarious, and infuriating at the same time.

Human rights are intimately woven into International Law and state sovereignty. The work of the TWAIL scholars is relevant, especially as regards how human rights are deployed to undermine the sovereignty of the global south following the rapid “decolonisation” of the mid 20th century.

I’m afraid it’s almost impossible to divorce politics and human rights.

Golang is 14 years old, used by Google in production projects, and still in active development so it has a good track record. It's also open-source so worst case scenario it would get forked and community-maintained without Google backing. I wouldn't be concerned about Golang being deprecated.

* Open office bonus points for adding "because we like collaboration"

* No remote or hybrid

* Unlimited PTO can potentially be a red flag depending on other aspects

* Dinners at the office

* Business model that is not generating any revenue

* Needing 5 references for a junior position and they had to be people I worked with(my team was 3 devs). So, I listed other people I knew. One of them a VP of a tech company, who worked for large tech companies. They called him and grilled him. He told me he did his best but not to take the job and maybe just come work for him.

* Another time, I was told my code was wrong and wouldn't compile during the interview, I said "I am certain it will", but the dev said unless I change the answer is wrong. I changed it, he was wrong. I got the offer, and did not take the job.
Comes down to what "desktop mode" means. If its just a big screen with some tweaks then not much use.

I read around reddit of experiences of people who wore VR headsets and played a character of the other gender. The NPCs treated them as such, but they themselves experienced gender incongruence. Their internal identity was at mismatch with how the NPCs treated them, and that helped them understand what gender dysphoria means.
Screen time is definitely designed for iPhone/iPad, and macOS integration is a very distant afterthought.
"Engage your audience" is meaningless without a specific goal and audience analysis, imo.
Goal:
Is the goal to convince someone of an idea? Teach them a skill? Or sell them a product?
Goal implications:
What would be required to say sell them a product, right there and then? What level of trust is needed? What concerns would need to be cleared? How small or big could such a purchase be?
Audience background: Who will be there to listen to the message? Or - which venues can we find the relevant audience? Which subset of the readers/listeners do we actually _target_ with our messaging? What kind of personas do they trust/distrust? Are they most stimulated by intellectual or emotional appeal? What does it take for them to make an action - to get out of their chair (generally)? What does it take for them to buy a product (or goal)?
Now one is maybe close to start thinking about what to say and how to say it...

I guess I'd further state that not only are AI agents never going away, they will evolve forms in awe-inducing ways that are obvious to most of us: humanoid forms and enough intelligence that humans will form long-lasting intimate relationships with them (for better or worse).
I intentionally said "more towards embarrassingly parallel" rather than "only embarrassingly parallel". I don't think there's a hard cutoff, but there is a qualitative difference. One example that springs to mind is https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson - afaik there's no similarly mature GPU-based JSON parsing.

A Strangelove for My Linux Handheld
Mistral's Seed Round Memo
Knowing superconductivity makes magnets less mysterious. Once you accept that physics absolutely allows the creation of a static magnetic field from a circulating current that flows forever in a zero-resistance inductor coil, then the existence of ferromagnetism is no stranger than that - to a first approximation, it also comes from circulating currents, "just" on a subatomic scale. [1] It's kind of surprising that the Atomic Current Hypothesis of ferromagnetism was already proposed by Ampere back then. Following the same heuristics, the fact also becomes clear that the energy in an inductor coil can't really be "spent" to do useful work forever without de-energizing it, and the same is true for permanent magnets. [2]

[1] https://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/II_36.html

[2] This intuition debunks many types of incorrect "infinite energy of magnets" ideas that lead to perpetual motion. Although it can't debunk the "perpetual motion solely from an uneven static (electromagnetic or gravitational) field" idea, which is even older.
This happens a lot on the Norwegian Wikipedia. It has a super-deleter, deleting hundreds of articles a month, especially on Norwegian artists, musicians and companies. Many of them have Wikipedia entries in other languages, but for that person, the bar is high. This pattern really scares people off.

Really nice - need to try it with a few hobby use cases.
Source number authorization depends on how the messages get to the carrier and how the carrier has things setup. At the end of the day, there's a lot of trust though; and a lot of connections would be difficult/expensive to confirm that the connection is authorized to send messages from the sources they're using.

Think of BCP38 for IP spoofing, but for number spoofing. If you get an appropriate country mobile number from a carrier in that country, are you going to pay for a portability lookup to confirm that carrier is the authorized carrier for that number? Does that carrier check source numbers for all of the connections they have?

Some of the aggregators are good at checking sources, and some aren't, but aggregators are often authorized to send messages from many different countries, so they're likely to have their connections unchecked, because keeping the list updated is hard. It's like IP transit, but a lot worse.

I’m not sure your examples make much sense?

It also requires a risk/reward assessment, as everything has tradeoffs. Without some sort of assessment of concrete risks, making tradeoffs is also a wild guess.

Using asbestos in oven mitts? Probably not worth it, safety wise. Plenty of good and safe alternatives, and nobody is going to die if it’s 25% more or less effective.

Using it in firefighter turnouts? Maybe, depending on shedding characteristics and effectiveness of alternatives.

Using it in encapsulated hard paneling for specialized industrial furnaces? Quite safe.

But only if you have some sort of stats on cancer rates vs exposure rates. But that takes a lot of time and exposure (for almost anything except FOOF anyway), and requires actually using it.

Or a lot of guessing and inconclusive/misleading lab tests anyway.

And if you can’t use something until you can prove it’s safe, the whole situation is a Catch 22.
> Better late than never. I think OnePlus and Samsung had this feature since like 2019 or so.

The 2017 Essential Phone 1 had the feature.
So did many 2017 or 2018 flagships from Samsung, LG, HTC, Huawei, Sony, Asus.

Google is petty sometimes. Earlier they killed Miracast for Chromecast exclusively, even if virtually all SoCs for the past 10+ years support it.
The Motorola Atrix. When docked into a specialized laptop it would load up a full featured, albeit slow, Linux desktop. It was wild stuff at the time (and still isn't quite fully replicated even though we have N times more powerful hardware).
Seems like one may be the exception and not the norm.

In too many cases the top candidates are completely omitted from scoring let alone for an interview.

Not everyone has an unbiased process, it's common.

What on earth this was me too!! I still remember leaving my 486 rendering all night after I had messed with the computer and disconnected the CPU fan. Several hours of sleep later there was a loud blaring alarm, because the CPU was about to overheat. It took like 4 hours to overheat! Can't remember what rendering tool it was though.
That is completely uncalled for and a blatant violation of the rules. Not cool, not in the least.
You have added a long list. Yet it would be worth noting that, Afghanistan didn't really work very well, in that the said government just waited for the occupation to leave. ISIS didn't have any civilian leadership/structure in the first place, that can be asked by a civilian population to stop. Yemen is still controlled by Houthis and the less said about the bombing the better.
Actually that’s only true if you uncritically accept everything either side says and reject the other side. That’s low IQ, don’t do that.
Outside of a couple of phrases I consider clear-cut red flags (such as "we're a family here", "we work hard and play hard", etc.), what I'm really looking for is a bit squishier and not tied to particular phrases and such.

Things that I think indicate a poor fit for me include places where it's expected that people work more than 40 hours per week (I have no problem doing that in unusual circumstances, but if it's part of routine practice, that's a problem); where it's expected that you'll take part in extra-curricular activities; where they take agile methodologies too seriously; where there's too much social stratification in the workplace; and such.

Concrete red flags include using leetcode tests, using personality tests, absurd interviewing hoops (too many interview rounds, too many days to complete the interviewing process, etc.).

Not being interviewed by (or at least meeting) the members of the team I'd be working with is a bad sign, as is the interviewer not knowing the position I'm being considered for. The interviewer not answering my questions (or being vague or evasive in their answer).

I pay attention to the other devs I see. If most of them look unhappy or stressed, that's an enormous red flag. If in-person, most of the desks in use being pretty bare (little in the way of knick-knacks, personal photos, funny or interesting things hung on the cube wall, etc.) is bad. A lack of enthusiasm about what the devs are working on is bad.

Immediate showstoppers are having an open office plan or hot-desking.

Having too fancy of an office is a bad sign, but more of a yellow flag than red.

I'm sure that I've omitted a bunch of things here. I don't have a literal list in my mind. What I tend to do complete the interview process and then put it out of my mind until the next day. Then I go through my notes and examine to totality of what I observed, both things that pleased me and things that didn't.
Honestly I just found it irksome that the recruiter was trying to tell me how to prioritize my needs in the job search when it was obvious he was just trying to make a placement.
It's literally called 'Dutch disease', so there's the answer to your question ;-)

This series of articles is very, very interesting.

There appears to be a lot of evidence that the explosion in consumption of Polyunsaturated Fats (PUFAs) is at the root of the global reduction in basal body temperature, and a general inability to metabolise Glycogen, leading to eg. brain death by suffocation, obesity, etc.

This could explain a lot.
Ask HN: I'm trying to understand flagging a submission
So I submitted an A Substack article that I wrote and I understand this could be misconstrued as promotion, but it was not promotion. Just an idea I wanted to share with people. It seemed like it was getting some traction when suddenly it was flagged.

I don’t know who to reach out to or ask why this would happen and I don’t know if this was done by, hacker news done by people who saw the article.

Thanks for any info.

That’s a good point. It would be interesting if there was a “git blame” style command, but that showed a trust score for every line/block based on who has touched it.
SQLSync does not use CRDT's to handle conflicts. Rather it uses a rebase approach. The developer provides a small Wasm module which implements transactions and can handle conflicts. This module runs on both the client and the server to run transactions. Clients periodically rebase on top of the latest server state, while re-running any unapplied transactions.
That has absolutely nothing to do with the SoC.

Qualcomm powered Nexus and Pixels never had a video output.

And the flagship Exynos line always supported the feature.
The main issue is that there's no low power sleep mode. There are sleep modes, but they consume tremendous amount of power, so there's no way to build a battery-powered device.

Ask HN: Would you (do you) use an unsafe HTTP API?
What I mean by "unsafe" is that the API lacks protection from the lost update[1] problem, and the answer is obviously "yes".

APIs that implement protections (like If-None-Match and the ilk) aren't uncommon, but they are the minority as far as I can tell by perusing documentation over the years. Why? It seems inevitable that lost updates have been causing problems, but perhaps never at a level that rises to the level of doing something about it?

ok so to answer more thoroughly, sign up is required for the sync feature to work. I'm not gonna say there's no way around having a server for sync, but none is simple or even possible to implement for all platforms including the web (see the Nat Traversal problem [1]).

You can self host of course in which case you only sign up to your own server. Instructions for self hosting can be found on the github page [2].

As for verifying the privacy of your data, this is a little more complicated. First, since it's a web app, you can open the dev console of your browser and in the network tab you'll see all the data that gets passes around. You will see that the content of your notes and passwords are all "gibberish" because they are encrypted or hashed. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean they are encrypted or encrypted well. To verify that, you really have to take a look at the code at least the client examples [3] which is provided in both typescript and python. They will show you how encryption and decryption work which allows you to verify that the "gibberish" data you see in the network tab of the website really is properly encrypted notes.

I hope that addresses your concerns. Let me know if you have any more questions.

I don't think it's so much "paying for an app" as it is the constant rent seeking. It's not that people don't want to pay for 1Password, it's that we're all so damn tired of every company nickel-and-diming us to death. Can't anything just be a one time purchase anymore?

While 1Password probably wouldn't have gotten as popular as it is, if they started as a SaaS, instead of letting everyone think they could just buy it one time and be done, I doubt anyone would be angry about it.
This is a legal problem and not at all a technical one.
