> I'm not sure why.

On discrete transistors, they have different sizes, shapes and levels of doping.

On the "old" planar VLSI transistors, nobody even uses the names. They are both built as small as possible and there's no space to fine-tune any of their characteristics. But on some of the new 3D VLSI transistors they are different again.

> Every apple that gets pulled from the bushel is rotten and there are a lot of apples left.

Yes, that's what happens. If you leave a couple of bad apples in a barrel they off gas ethylene and spoil every apple in the barrel. You have to regularly get rid of bad apples before they spoil the bunch.

It's such a great metaphor, it's too bad it's so widely misused and misunderstood.
Ask HN: Given a Spotify playlist, I would like to get all the tracks as MP3s
Some backstory, I got tired of streaming services, particularly Apple Music constantly slapping DRM on top of my own music (ones I have uploaded to iCloud from CDs). So, I was thinking of writing some script that would perhaps get a playlist, be it Spotify or Apple and then get the Mp3 version of that song by whatever means. This is to literally just store an offline version of my music collection and listen to it from there. Any solutions you use already before I go down the rabbit hole of writing my own?

TIA

This is what I expected just from the title- anytime I’ve seen the jhanas mentioned online most of the responses are “that’s not the jhanas, this person does not even understand what they are” and then the followup comments are each someone saying the same about the above commenter.
Years ago I read some of the author's posts (they're active on HN too iirc) about it, and it seemed to me like they were relying heavily on the internals of the loader or dynamic linker on each platform, such that a new release for any given OS could conceivably break your binary.

It's probably a very fun project to hack on but I would advise against distributing the binaries and expecting them to work over the long term.
I get how they made their sign up funnel confusing, but I personally didn't need a guide to make a local account. It was all right there in the setup UI, if you click around. I believe it just took a "skip" or "cancel" or "no thanks" or two, nothing too outrageous. I love my Debian laptop and my Mac laptop, but few people are about to give up an entire OS over petty annoyances where workarounds exist. Windows has survived countless silly experiments like this over the decades. Windows could require you to Skype a video of your butt to Satya Nadella to log in, and half the world would still do it, that's how wide their moat is. So much AAA software locked in as Windows-only. Solidworks, Cyberpunk 2077, etc. Just being the contrarian to the expected Hacker News sentiment of "microsoft just killed itself".
OLED already works very well for TVs and other big screens; MicroLED would need to push into that market and prove its value against OLED. And OLED tech will not stand still while MicroLED catches up.

MicroLED needs market niches with lots of manufacturing volume to scale up and improve or they'll never get to a position where they can challenge OLED.
You don’t. Each consumer of something declares what it needs via an interface, something concrete may be passed that implements it - including fakes for tests.

Of course this doesn’t apply when using interfaces for polymorphic return types in a library, but that is a distinct use case for interfaces to address.

Perhaps some of this is just taste, but this is the way I’ve found interfaces in Go to be most useful.
Exactly.

Blacks of OLED, brightness of LED, no burn in, no degradation over time… it would be fantastic. It’s what’s being used in some insane (~140”) TVs but at a reasonable size.

Yeah it won’t compete with LCDs on price for a while, maybe ever. But the high end of the market would love it.
Llamafile does that (i.e. it hosts a local web server that presents a GUI).
> iPhones can still come with Safari installed and used by default, no changes to anyones experience at all.

No, this is not allowed and currently also not the case. When you're setting up a new iPhone, one of the questions during setup is which browser do you want to use.

Hedge Funds Made a Killing on FTX–Then It Got Complicated
The worry is that after asking apple for a certain amount of refunds they flag you as a troublemaker and block you from using any of their services. This happens all the time.

Going directly to companies and merchants keeps this control in your own hands, nobody can block you from buying other software just because you had issues in the past.

But that’s how they decided to fund other areas like having iOS free. I still don’t understand the logic behind the complaint. If the developers don’t want to pay, why not just drop support for iOS? If the answer is because customers are on iOS then… idk respect that this is the decision of the user. Don’t force me to install another App Store or give you my card data so you can charge me the same amount and keep more profit while compromising my privacy and security
The halting problem is a worst case statement. For almost all functions a programmer encounters in their job it is trivial to solve.
Many of these suggestions are good. (I should make my subheds clickable!) But a couple of them, oh dear…

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!

Also, link decoration: my browser already has a nice discreet indicator to tell me where a link goes, I don’t need or want mysterious dingbats in the running text. (It reminds me of websites that are so scared of hyperlinks that they send them via interstitial warning pages “YOU ARE LEAVING THE SITE!!!!1!1!”, or in a recent case via a $yber$ecurity box that broke the link completely.) And preview popups? Get in the sea, hostile obnoxious interruption.
Europe represents ~25% of Apple's revenue (https://www.statista.com/statistics/382175/quarterly-revenue...)

That's quite a large loss. Esp. given that there's another option - stay on the EU market while conforming to its rules. That will lower the profits, but not by that much.

Losing Europe as a market would have larger consequences, though. Software produced in EU would have worse support on Apple, people even in US having connections with Europeans would start installing alternative messengers etc. Apple's strength is in its network effect, cutting out a major part of it would be disastrous.
But an Excellent Used Condition what?
Unfortunately, it's not hard to make a few tweaks though and have it look "updated" to the crawler. I imagine Google could change that (especially now with LLM tech possibilities) so I guess we'll see what happens, but so far it hasn't hurt the career "optimizers" that I know.
That's too narrowly scoped and it's not a neg on the people. If you write CSS code all day, there's no reason/benefit to understand EE. It's easier for me to think about giant old wooden ships and how that knowledge got lost/replaced at we built modern navy ships. Find me someone to caulk a boat with Oakum today for instance.
> Have they ever specified any reason why they prevent users from finding this out?

Surely because they think, "We're Apple, this is how we do things." But honestly, there's starting to burn through a lot of the consumer good will credit they have built up. They're just another "shareholders first" company now.
Then IMO this went too far. All they needed to do was allow people to doanload alternatives if they want them.
Does it process individual transactions? RTGS stands for Real Time Gross Settlement, and my understanding is that it lets banks settle the total amount of processed transactions, thus leaving out any details of particular transactions.

I agree you should be. I don’t think our economic system enforces those checks. In practice auditing and pen testing are just farmed to the lowest cost place that says they will do everything. The system has no proper checks or balances against fraud.

> The lower end of the spectrum is for phones, going through daily charge/discharge cycles.

With iPhones you can replace the battery for a small fraction of the cost of a new phone. Plenty of people are using 5+ year old phones without doing so, it really depends on how much time you spend on the device per day and if you’re recharging mid day. Deep discharges drastically shorten lifespan, but again just get a new battery.

Money may not be a limiting factor in that you might actually need a very small amount of money to live on to do something similar to what Benjamin Thorpe did, but Money in the form of existing obligations and the inability to get out of those obligations is very much a limiting factor for just about everyone who reaches that age.

The age of mental peak is also generally the age of most obligations accrued.

Show HN: Kuse – A visual, non-linear infinite canvas for ChatGPT
Hi guys, we’ve been working on this new UI/UX over the past 2 months.

Why we built this:

- We found the typical linear-based chatbot is not enough for handling complex conversations.
- Just like you'd use a whiteboard for detailed discussions with your teammates, Kuse provides a visual interface for dynamic, non-linear conversations.

How it works:

- At the core of KUSE is one magic block. Behind the scenes, it’s multi-modal LLM with many integrated tools: image generation, image editing, search, etc.
- Within the infinite canvas, you can always divide conversations to bulletpoints or group multiple branches together. (It’s not just tree-based, it’s actually graph-based! Super flexible.)

Our beta testers are using Kuse to do brainstorming, travel planning, project management, research, content drafting, etc

It’s completely free now. Lots of features to build going forward: Collaboration, more whiteboard (text, drawing, etc) capabilities, semantic search, code execution, etc…
Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

More use cases are inside Twitter/X: https://x.com/kuseHQ

The more I think of it, the more licensing looks like the best representation of Microsoft's strategy for Windows.

Stable, lean and long term focused versions are locked under the most hidden of the enterprise licenses. Decent versions without the garbage ads and spyware features only ship to enterprise. "Pro" users are only blessed with virtualization and a few candies, and share the worse edition with "Home" users.

It makes a lot more sense why the enterprise machines are near 30% more expensive than their customer counterpart.

UNH CS 720, OS programming ... it was basically posix programming in C. All my cohorts told me not to take it cause I wasn't going to pass it. I busted my butt and I clawed a B-.

What a great value - that degree dealt me into a domain I wouldn't have had access to on my own. I have felt very blessed since then.

Helpful context on the validity of this heavily editorialized site. Seems like Apple definitely is not in the right here but very unclear if it has anything to do with this persons claims. If you follow her history of forming complaints it is hard to take her serious as most of her complaints get dropped and these are complaints filed against different agencies.
> Does it process individual transactions?

Yes. FedNow and FedWire are real-time rails.

FedACH is net settled, but I believe the Fed would see the full contents of each ACH message.
Which is a right that Apple was willing to concede, but people flipped out when they announced you'd still have to pay the fee.

Consoles get a pass for things that Apple gets raked over the coals for. There's clearly something more going on than just "these specific behaviors are unacceptable always", which is the simplified take that gets popular on HN.

Are subtitle tracks even encrypted? Unlike video, there's no secure path (eg. HDCP) for subtitle (or even audio) tracks, so they're presumably trivial to rip.

Can you tell me some more about that? I currently use ESPHome for a bunch of devices, but the automations they use are all driven through Home Assistant.

Is there a way to link devices directly over the WiFi with ESPHome?

EDIT: I think I understand what you meant now; not specifically ESPHome, but the nature of the deployment in the OP takes the "smarts" out of the critical path, allowing it to fall back to being an electro-mechanically actuated doorbell. This is certainly ideal, but I don't have anywhere I can place/power a chime near the doorbell hence the desire for a wireless connection between them. Would be great if I could somehow link two ESPHome devices wirelessly without the server so they can communicate if it's down (I suppose I could with an REST API if nothing else).

as eu citizen i'm happy with it. I have both a pixel and an iphone and imo you can continue using app store apps if you are afraid of security (let's not dive into this argument, bc the statements about security in some cases are false), while others will use other app stores when/where they want, that's kinda the point, you as a user can decide what to do. If you are afraid about your grandma/kids installing something, I'm fairly sure there's(or will be) an option in settings to limit such actions.

Push/prompt gating security (or most things) is bad - a lesson we keep learning[1] for myriad UI issues.

One thing I would say though is while it's technically bad that this person hit "approve" after being bombarded with notifications, limiting repeated authentication and exponential delay on sign in attempt is one of the most basic security protections that any authentication mechanism or service should implement and failing to do this is a pretty basic and fundamental failure on the part of that service.

[1] It was frustrating to me when I worked on browsers where people kept trying to add extremely privileged functionality to the browser and then claiming there were no security problems because you could prompt the user. But it happens everywhere, I think Raymond Chen had a post many years ago regarding how the windows installer used to prompt people to replace files but would keep asking until people thought they were answering wrong, which then led to non-booting machines.
It is no exaggeration. Different people have different sleep requirements.

Your "26°C/79°F" is also only the normal case. It fails to account for how the system will perform in the now far more common 'outlier' heat waves that occur in Europe.

It also fails to account for the occasional requirement to cool down between events. Some athletes have multiple events on the same day, such as series of qualification rounds. Having competed at up to international levels and a variety of sports, I've it was a significant advantage between events or before events in hot conditions to taking a cold shower and rest and mentally prep in a very cool room before the event. 79°F does not cut it. I'd need more like 59°F. It's only for an hour or so, but it makes a huge difference to show up at the event on a blazing day with my core body temp still cool and not even wanting to sweat yet. It got hot enough in a few minutes, but being able to blast the AC for an hour definitely helped.

Before posting you might consider either getting serious direct experience or at least real information about the topic (or instead asking a question vs. making ignorant statements that cast implied insults at people who actually have a clue about their requirements).
