I have developed an entirely different approach to these blog/site features - such as sidenotes and TOC - that I refer to as an “Iceberg Article”.

It is explained here:

It’s the best video / voice call / screen sharing / etc software out there IMO. Unfortunately Mac only so I only use to it to collaborate with coworkers.

People who fake their results are not advancing knowledge. In the case of the Alzheimer’s paper, it held back knowledge for a very long time.

Beyond that though, these are cases of blatant fraud that steals money from the taxpayer.
A lot of Startup World makes no sense until you think about things this way.

The actual company is the founders and associates (early employees, investors, etc.). The product being sold is the company. Larger companies who might wish to buy it are the true customers. Later employees, "products" and "services", "customers", all that nonsense - marketing materials.
OK. Hot dog, bun, drink cup, and soft drink. Straws, napkins, plate or paper wrap, condiments. Labor to serve the customers, and clean up after them. Floor space taken up by the eating area. Cost of storing the raw ingredients, and the kitchen equipment to prepare the food.

I'll grant it's possible they are making a profit, but note he doesn't say they are making a profit, he says they are making a "fair return." They could be losing money. Either way, in the scope of their store operations, it's not consequential on that basis. They do it to make customers happy. It generates good will. That is the "fair return."
I suspect parent commenter isn't just asking about static linking from the perspective of licensing but about technical feasibility; at least part of the reason people use musl is that static linking glibc isn't well supported.
Suffering is the point. It's like exercises in math or push-ups - if you find a way to do them effortlessly you won't develop the skills you are training for.

I agree they suck tho.
I immediately understood it to mean you have Google Docs features in the entire desktop environment. Looking at the app that's what it is. So perhaps I'm in the audience and you are not.
Doesn't just about everyone hate dealing with a dealership? Shouldn't it be very easy to vote to fix that in a democracy?

Drama in the JavaScript Community
If they know what they're doing, they don't "rip", they use their own client to download the highest quality available directly from the CDN, then strip the DRM.
> There is no defending Apple here. These decisions are made by multiple people who should all be in prison.

Bingo.

There's this curious willingness from the HN community to jump in and defend the whole of a corporation when a single part makes a mistake. We've seen them come out in droves when rational people criticize the App Store, the Butterfly keyboard, inhumane working environments or unsafe centralized services. It's absolutely bizarre that these same apologists feel the need to justify genuine bureaucratic failure. They really want to champion Apple on the basis that they violate zoning laws and endanger their neighbors?

Sometimes this site needs to grow a pair and accept that their favorite business has to follow the law. I know it's a lot to ask from latte addicts that work in management, but I'm done accepting justifications for Apple's behavior that end without blame.
No, I do not consider "disposable" to be a positive achievement. I consider it to be surprising and worthy of attention that NFC chips are so cheap that they are disposable.
Has OpenAI already reached that point in the lifecycle where they start gobbling up smaller companies? Damn this cycle is starting to feel faster and faster.

I have criticisms of OpenAI, but on the whole I really hope this doesn't mean they are losing the war and turning to diversification and other classic "big tech" moves. GPT still is (IME) the best at not assuming/inferring things in the prompt that aren't there (especially then mangling the prompt *cough* Gemini *cough*). For those of us who try to be very precise with our prompts, that is a big deal.
Whenever I hear about ransomware attacks, I wonder how anyone could pay for IT services to set up a system where:

1) there are no meaningful, clean backups
and
2) regular users can overwrite many / most files
3) and/or administrators use machines that are easily compromisible
4) and/or the system is built on insecure technology

The fact that 1) could negate 2), 3) and 4) means people are doing IT and are taking good money from corporations or taxpayers when they absolutely should not.

So when there are things like this in the news where large numbers of users are affected, I can't help but wonder why we don't see IT companies getting strung up (figuratively, of course) and publicly embarrassed for each and every one of these incidences.
They did. For about 3-5 days there were some major service outages. Some of which were ugly and not very smart in hindsight. In case of my ex-employers, this DDoS was serious enough to break availability of multiple transportation-related sites with a single backend. Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian among others. Thanks guys, you've definitely helped to stop Putin!

Now lots of Russian services are either unavailable from the outside, or use DDoS-Guard and other protection providers.
The situation had left some ironic service market niche: when you're inside Russia, you need VPN to circumvent the state censorship, when you're outside, there's demand for in-Russia endpoints now. Banking, state bureaucracy websites, utility bill payment sites and integrations, local media streaming services.
They'd originally existed because manufacturers didn't have enough resources to sell directly to customers, and they'd probably still exist (in a smaller capacity) today even if manufacturers could sell direct. Because there still are some manufacturers that sell low enough volumes in the US that it would probably still financially make sense for them to lean on a dealer network.

But for sure, Ford, GM, Toyota, Stellantis, etc would probably love to sell direct.
So mob justice instead of trial?

I think it would lead to worse outcomes, and is likely to end up based more on whether people like the person accused, or like their results than on what they actually did.

Social shame is a tricky mechanism.
Only if the timber gets used long-term. I would argue that a lot of timber doesn't get sequestered for more than a few decades because people tear down old houses and build more density in their place on those time scales. And then that old timber ends up in the landfill.

It's even worse for flooring, trim and casing because people rip and replace those constantly over their lifetime because it's all cheap whitewood or MDF now unless you explicitly pay for hardwood.
Exactly. And once they know you are interested, you have all the leverage, because there are so many great cars out there. You can negotiate ferociously.

I once had the salesman turn his terminal around and say to me, "Have a look. By the time we pay the guys to detail and prep the car, we will make $700 off this sale. I have no more room."

Granted, it took them decades, but there is always a number someone won't say "No" to.

> Apple just used an amazing OLED on the new iPad Pros. But they had to stack two panels to do that and obviously it’s not TV sized. Maybe something like that could compete with MicroLED better but the price is really going to be up there.

MicroLED screens are much more expensive than any OLED screen. MicroLED TVs are currently sold for more than 100.000 USD.
AA trees are isomorphic to 2,3 trees and RB trees are isomorphic to 2,4 trees. IIRC we learned 2,4 trees first in my data-structures class, and then demonstrated that RB trees were a different representation of the same idea.
If there is a "benchmark" for open source analytics, it's probably Matomo.org which has been around for a long time and is a standard PHP app you can just deploy. It's normally run with javascript tracking to do things like lead tracking, onboarding, campaigns and such. It can also ingest logs but with loss of that functionality.

AWstats hasn't been updated since the times when screens were tiny. Try GoAccess for a more modern look (it has nothing to do with the Go language) but still a bog standard static log analyzer that can generate HTML reports periodically.

My URLs have the date in them, and all posts have the original date near the title. I do updates (and update internal metadata), but removed the modification date because it was confusing to people…
There isn’t a lot of switching cost for something like Multi. In most cases a month seems extremely short and would grind my gears too, but it’s not like you’ll need to move anything off of Multi.
I already answered in the comment you are replying to -

"my mind was already made up based on price/features"

and

"I'm more-or-less just looking for something that gets me where I need to go safely."

I know that "car guys" can't fathom this but I've driven a LOT of car models (as I've rented a LOT) and they are (mostly) the same to me; I consider cars almost a commodity. I wouldn't even know how to compare vehicle "handling."
Marked NOTABUG. One reason to like AVs is that they follow the rules, and a critical mass of AVs, even as a minority of vehicles, will impose a "phase change" on traffic.
I kind of respect deepmind for simply keeping their nose to the ground and doing good work like this without overhyping it too much. More of the under promise over deliver engineering style than some of their competitors tends to do it
Then why isn’t there one on macOS?

I get the feeling that the CTF exists more to dissuade developers from building for alt app stores.
I usually think in terms of streaming devices vs. laptop/desktop use. I think the artificial limitations are mostly BS.
Try this.

/* keep the icon hidden by default */
:is(h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6) .icon {
visibility: hidden;
}

/* show the icon on focus and hover */
:is(h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6):focus .icon,
:is(h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6):hover .icon {
visibility: visible;
}

/* show the icon on devices that don't have any accessory that can hover */
@media (pointer: coarse), (any-hover: none) {
:is(h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6) .icon {
visibility: visible;
}
}

The `pointer: coarse` media query checks if you are using a device with an input mechanism of limited accuracy (such as fingers on a touchscreen). The `any-hover: none` media query checks if none of the input mechanisms on your device support hover (such as a Surface tablet not attached with a keyboard).
weird.

By substantially increasing the risks to (or outright preventing) purchases by competitors or conglomerates.

Consequently, actually running, growing a business, and making your users happy becomes a more reliable path to wealth.

Why would you run all that for 100k requests/day? That's basically completely idle.
When context first came out, there was a buzz about it was going to obsolete Redux. Then it was actually "no it's not". I haven't followed it much since then. I haven't seen a code base that used a context for shared state that could be updated from descendant nodes. But I guess it pretty much has to be an improvement over redux.

Still though, the boilerplate required to do it doesn't make it seem like React is particularly good at it, even though it's technically capable.
> Whenever I try to play a game that barely runs at 60 fps on windows in my basic system it invariably runs in the range of 45-55 fps on Linux.

This is not a valid test. You need to compare Linux native vs. Proton rather than (Proton+Linux) vs. Windows. Otherwise you’re comparing at least three things at once.

Doesn't look too stupid for Patek Philippe. These shenanigans are why they can charge $20k for a stainless steel automatic watch with a simple date complication, which is only slightly better (at best) than a $300 Seiko.
The historical case for fair source
I want to love it so badly, and it's fine if you're comparing it to e.g. google docs. But if you're comparing it to running the ide locally it's sadly still not quite there.

A lot of actions are still not supported remotely, syntax doesn't get reinterpreted properly unless you do manual workarounds like switching between files, etc. It's getting better and better, though.
Is Entrepreneur First worth the time? Honest review of the acceleration program
What does Tesla do differently regarding changing product prices that they're worth calling out compared to other companies?

My personal experience is that they honoured my order and delivered a vehicle superior in every metric but "turning radius". (Which has a far higher price if ordered again on my delivery day)

Every company in every industry modifies products and pricing? See e.g. "shrinkflation"

Once I saw the Fully transparent MicroLED on Display in this year's CES , it is only a matter of time before it comes to market. I can immediately see luxury Retail shop paying the premium to get it.

MicroLED is also getting cheaper. Compared to 2-3 years ago Samsung's The Wall offers 140 to 200+ inch Display that is not possible with OLED or LCD.

From a Smartphone, Tablet and Laptop prospective. OLED will be the tech going forward at least until 2030.
Supporting User-Provided OpenAI Keys and Prompts in Browser Extensions
A guy took over an OSS package and immediately added 16 of his own personal dependencies to it including his own Github Action. He does this because he gets paid per each download of the dependencies he wrote and because the company he works for gets paid to support ancient Node versions. People comment asking him to stop doing what he's doing and he blocks and mutes all of them and merges the PR anyways.
>I really hate progress bars, they are incredibly distracting. One of the worst examples of front end programmers wasting their time reimplementing browser functions badly. I already have scroll bars! I do not need more scroll bars!

And the icing on the cake - as demonstrated in the quanta link - is the horizontal rendering in combination with a generous sticky wasting precious space I'd rather use for, well reading content.
Not when dealers pay politicians to keep it that way.

Even if you ran a petition and forced a state ballot measure, dealers would run a propaganda campaign to make it sound like a pro-Tesla measure.
Oh it was just an off the cuff comment. I was trying to be clever by finding a phrase that is the opposite of "the universe is a simulation". IE, the universe is "real".

72 characters per line is a common standard for git commit messages. If you use vim, the syntax highlighting will nudge you to exactly that number.

If you can trick someone into installing the font, you can now control what they read. Unfortunately a lot of hacks involve the user doing something dumb and avoidable.

If this font format is successful, then given enough time, it will become legacy. People won't be as vigilant about it, and they won't understand the internals as well. This is why TIFF-based exploits became so common 20-30 years after TIFF's heyday.
My wife received over a thousand dollars in mystery credit card charges from the App Store over a period of about 6 weeks. Apple couldn't explain it or provide any insight whatsoever. Nothing.

Apparently, the charges were on her credit card but associated with another Apple ID.

We did a charge back which was successful. Now, I'm just waiting for the inevitable locking of her Apple ID. Luckily, she has already created a new one, but if the same thing happened to me I'd be in serious trouble. In my case, simply creating a new Apple ID is not an option.

It's really scary.
It's also very, very difficult to get them repaired...

Powering Planes with Microwaves Is Not the Craziest Idea
> It’s easy today to forget just how revolutionary a product Dropbox was.

I'm walking right into this, but really? Dropbox came out in a post-FTP world, a post NFS-enabled world, hell, even a post-Active-Directory world. The biggest thing Dropbox got right was cutting off the sharp edges from network-attached storage, and even that wasn't very revolutionary back then or today.

If you want to compare AI to any product at all I would hope that it's something more revolutionary or technically interesting than Dropbox.

I wonder whether this is diversification or just acquihiring. Given that they abruptly shut down the products instead of rebranding them and converting their users, it may be the latter. Both Multi and Rockset had strong infra teams.

Approved with 40% experiencing liver injury?

Check out the statistical evaluation sections on the study outcomes:

https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/tissue-tissue-products/elevidys

I could see approval override when evidence is marginally positive but impossible to improve (e.g., for lack of study subjects - here ~150 with a rare genetic disease) when the benefit is clear and there is no safety risk (adverse effects - AE).

The primary outcome didn't fail by much in the small sample. It's an assessment scale of physical activity which can be hard to get right and perhaps prone to false negatives for slow responders. So, maybe.

But the liver injury (lots of bad labs) is a significant side effect, as is nausea/vomiting (~50%), fever (~30%), and thrombocytopenia (8%). Even with that, there was no discontinuation d/t AE, because the patients (parents) are so motivated. I'd like to see how quickly patients recovered esp. to normal liver labs, and also understand how whether other gene therapies have shown similar reactions to be transient and benign.

There's probably a lot of variability in immune systems at that age, with possible long-term effects from adverse training. The variability could result in severe problems in a few cases, and the adverse immune training could result in lifelong auto-immune diseases, etc. Which means there's reason for caution.

As for corruption...

Fatalism about corruption is exactly what corrupt regimes nurture, because it passivates objectors and activates collaborators. Please let's not go there.

The FDA process situation now is OK: both staff and advisors are on the record, so any inconsistent top-line decision is clearly discoverable. As far as I can tell, staff and advisory board selection is mostly per scientific skill, albeit with industry representation, and also on the record so that influence can be traced. Above all, reasons are justified and traced to studies on the record, and most marginal approvals (like this one) include post-marketing monitoring to claw back the approval as needed. (My primary objection now is that study data is mostly non-public, and AFAICT there's no requirement to publish negative data).

I celebrate the 20th anniversary of my 365 days/year Typepad blog on August 20, 2024.

For a long, long time it's appeared to me that I'm the last person on Earth still using Typepad, which since it started being bought and sold a decade or so ago has had gradual serious decrements in speed and functionality.

It takes on average 10 seconds to upload a photo, and usually 2-3 attempts because of broken links.

Many times a past post which was intact now appears with broken image links.

And yet, I'm still able to post even though I probably know as little about code as anyone who visits HN.

My technical deficiencies are why my blog looks almost identical today to its appearance at inception.

At 76, I'm too old to do anything but continue in the same fashion.

A question: Is there anyone else here who uses Typepad?

Large HN user blogroll in OPML: https://dm.hn/index.opml
To be specific, the objective of state statutes is to block direct manufacturer auto sales. The objective is achieved in a roundabout way: the statutes written prevent the establishment of physical dealership locations owned by the manufacturers. They are not broad enough to restrict direct sales. This means that some creative sales techniques can be used, if you:

(a) don't need to have cars in a lot,

(b) can sell online,

(c) tolerate some uncertainty while interpretation of status is fought in court.

Then, you can (in many states), sell cars directly.

Tesla does all 3 as they usually don't have (a) inventory and in some cases, the law doesnt prohibit showrooms (b) seem perfectly comfortable selling you the car online (and critically, customers are ok with this too) and (c) have money to fight for settlement of the issues.

Theres even more creative sales now - tesla is actively setting up sales ops in Indian reservations - which have their own sets of the laws outside of specific states.

Edit: added (c) which is certainly an important factor in many states
