It only works in a couple of situations and it's difficult to manage. When the site doesn't support it (which is almost all of them), when you don't have USB, when you lose or forget your YubiKey, when you don't have a phone with NFC or lose it, when you can't afford the device, or it's difficult for the user to set up, etc it fails. Now you need a different factor to finish logging in, which is probably weaker, so attackers will try to degrade this first factor to force the second weaker one.

It's a nice-to-have but not even close to a universal solution.
Your point is what, that behavioral disorders aren't disorders? Do you give the same advice to addiction patients or anxiety or OCD sufferers? Some people have an easier time controlling some behaviors that some other people, and that fact is important where it intersects with health and worthy of consideration as a "medical" condition worthy of treatment, and not knee-jerk judgement on HN.

Surely you personally are a skinny guy whose never had trouble with weight. Equally surely there's some behavioral quirk you have that you'd like to change but have struggled with. So... maybe hold off on the "just do it" framing?

That's a 40% price increase. I've never seen such a drastic increase, not even from Paypal.
I can't say I'm totally shocked. I'm actually a bit surprised by how many people don't even have DVD players any longer. Guess I should liquidate all my coins sitting in a bucket (which I believe is the same company).

No details, no pricing, just a waiting list.

The product screenshot looks TOTALLY made up.

7 days selected but the graph has almost 2 months on it.
The highlighted day shows 2 channels, the table shows several more, but no filters are visibly active for the graph.
The graph day shows "6414,4" Is that '6414.40' or '64,144'?
How are you calculating bounce rate? (it's not just the reverse of engagement rate)
Key metrics show 5,345 visits for 7 days but the day figure is higher, and the figures in the table below are way lower.

It's a mess that doesn't inspire confidence. I can build a dashboard from the reporting API that does everything this does, but with consistent values. The fact that you didn't even do that for your product demo shots is pretty bad. It's fine if you're still building the product, but if you want to convince GA users to trust your service and join your waiting list you need to show something that at least looks as if it works.
I named my kid Dexter. Despite my best efforts he won't wear lab coats or speak with an accent. When I try he just asks me to go buy some plastic drop cloths and goes back to sharpening the kitchen knives.

>couldn't guarantee that the O-ring would perform properly.

Small nit, but from a reliability perspective you can almost never guarantee something will work. It's a probability distribution but, to your point, you need decent data to estimate that probability.

The other issue is a psychological one. Humans aren't generally wired to think about probabilities well, especially low-probability events. There's a fairly decent chance you can roll the dice over and over on these types of decisions and not have anything bad happen, leading you to think you're good when in reality you're just lucky.
I love HN, and the community here, but yeah, let's not just ignore the fact that this is very much a YC recruitment platform.
Chatbots are the past. The future is an llm/ai that knows you, your history & account after you identify and is able to ask the right questions and tap into the full range of tools (documentation, human operators, etc.) at its disposal to resolve your issue. It will remember past conversations. It will understand you and speak your native language. It wont get angry or frustrated with you and it will try to save the company it works for money by doing the right thing, which is generally resolving your issue.

The current 'state of the art' is spending 40 minutes on hold after navigating some silly voice menu to get to talk to a person that barely has any training who serves as first line support and probably can't resolve your issue. They are likely to hang up on you and you'll face ground hog day until you accidentally say the right words that unlock access to someone with a clue. That's the past few decades. It's not that great either.
1 in 5 households in America is a millionaire.

We need to stop treating "millionaire" to mean "rich" like it did before decades of inflation. A two-earner household, that buys a house, uses their employer's 401k and just generally is financially prudent will have a net worth over a million well before retirement.

In fact, to encourage responsible retirement planning, we should probably start treating it as an expectation to be a millionaire at time of retirement. If you're not on track to be a millionaire at 65, you need to save more.

From the article it seems like it clones a lot of the Apple M1 technology. So smart acquisition on Qualcomm's part to get competitive again.

Apple engineers who worked on the Apple M4 should go start another company so Qualcomm can acquire it again for +1B. :). Or better yet, acquired by ARM themselves.

It is likely that as this tech makes it to the smartphone market, Android phones are going to get a major speed boost. They have been so uncompetitive against Apple for a while now.
That's fixed. Many thanks for taking the time to report it :)

Exactly. When our car doesn't run well, a car with perhaps 20,000 parts, we take it to the mechanic who says "yup, issue was your spark plug, fixed". And even then, of course, the car issue may have been multifactorial. Maybe the spark plug failed because the fuel/air mix was off, for example, the spark plug was the symptom.

But then we leap from the car with 20,000 parts to a body with a trillion cells each cell with a trillion molecules. The calculus of the fuel/air mix and the spark plug has now been blown out of proportion, as challenging as conceiving a 20 dimensional manifold or the size of the universe. And so my reservation with a paper like this, and in general, is people say, "yup, sure was the spark plug" and then get accolades and a Nature paper, when the core issue was the air fuel mix, the air fuel mix that is, times a trillion cells, times a trillion molecules.

And I can't blame the authors. No shame in shooting for Nature and succeeding. No shame in these simplistic models, each one takes us a step further. But somewhere along the lines we're going to have think about the R&D of the big picture in non-hand-wavey ways.
Micronics made a splash a couple weeks ago with a Kickstarter for “desktop SLS 3d printing.” The two-person company has now been acquired by Formlabs.

The prosumer SLS product is cancelled. Kickstarter backers get a $1000 credit for a Formlabs printer and an “open material license” that allows them to use 3rd party materials on FormLabs printers, which are locked to 1st party materials by default.

Overall feels like FormLabs killed a potential competitor in the cradle for cheap. Would have much rather seen Micronics raise capital directly.

> My gut? It actually works, and people didn't like that. Users and orgs like authentication slightly broken so they can work around systems.

People like authentication systems that are secure enough to keep bad actors out, but not so secure that it keeps legitimate users out. It's got nothing to do with users wanting to break into a system.
We also have salaried positions where the time unit is a day (this is the typical cases for white collar jobs). You have to work for 217 or 218 days every year and the normal day is 8 hours.

If you are on call then you get paid x% more during that tile and it cannot be more than y hours per month (I do not remember the values). You also have to have at least 11 hours of rest between the days.

The duties are not clearly defined either (despite continuous ideas on how to measure them, which consistently fail year after year) which is a good thing: it is not easy to have this as a reason to fire you (you have to have a good reason to fire in France).

We value work/personal life proportions a lot, but we also are very serious when it comes to work. It is only from the outside that it looks like we are constantly on vacation or having lunch (this is true for some parts of the workforce, to the point of becoming a stereotype).

As I was reading the OP's, ahem, difficulties with customer-support AI chatbots, all I could think was, I've had the same experience too, and it sucks.

The movie "Elysium," from 11 years ago, depicts what it feels like to interact with one of today's AI chatbots:

https://youtu.be/flLoSxd2nNY

Naturally, in the movie, the conversation with the bot on the counter was mandated due to another bot's earlier lack of understanding:

Let us all hope that AI chatbots will get much better over time. We all need it.

Why are some so desperate to blame smartphones? As far as I am aware, smartphones are used globally but the symptoms described are not. Of this is an indictment of those societies that are destroying their children’s’ mental health and perhaps futures, it’s nice to have a relatively simple scapegoat upon which to pin the blame (though I suspect smartphones are as irrevocably embedded in our culture as all the other problems are at this point), and imagine solving the issue by removing.

BART is primarily a suburban commuter train. Borne out by the fact that ever since the pandemic when downtown San Francisco offices reached record vacancy rates, BART ridership is way down, because of much fewer commuters.
It's not fair to think about this just in terms of capitalism. Even non-profits and charities have customer support systems. A customer who cannot or will not help themselves costs that organisation more to service than one who will. This is pretty universal.

If an automated system can handle 50% of the calls quickly and accurately, you're getting better value for your other user, who might be paying for the organisation's running fees.

It's only when it grates like this, when you're screaming "CONNECT ME TO A HUMAN!!1" at an AI where it's really a problem.

We're currently at the stage of denying that social networks have negative mental and social effects. As more evidence is collected, we're shading toward fatalistic acceptance. But, even then, I suspect not much will change: we'll acknowledge that we have a problem, but we won't do anything about it for a long time yet. There are too many sources that enable this kind of addiction for it to just get dropped.
NATS doesn't really have advanced query features though. It has a lot of really nice things, but advanced querying isn't one of them. Not to mention I don't know if NATS does well with large datasets, does it have sharding capability for it's KV and object stores?
A lot.

1PB with triple redundancy costs around ~$20k just in hard drive costs per year. That's ~$2.5M per year just in disks.

I'd be impressed if they're doing this for less than $1.5M per month (including SWE costs).

Obviously, if they can, saving $1.5M a month vs BigQuery seems like maybe a decent reason to DIY.
Quickwit is designed to do full-text search efficiently with an index stored on an object storage.

There are no equivalent technology, apart maybe:

- Chaossearch but it is hard to tell because they are not opensource and do not share their internals. (if someone from chaossearch wants to comment?)

- Elasticsearch makes it possible to search into an index archived on S3. This is still a super useful feature as a way to search punctually into your archived data, but it would be too slow and too expensive (it generates a lot of GET requests) to use as your everyday "main" log search index.

Oh thank you thank you. I moved to Windows 11 and the feature disappeared - it is right where your path points to.
This is accurate. The Linux desktop is an experimental success that persists with major flaws. If it wasn't, 99% of us would be using it instead of Windows and macOS.
Indeed. A good service system will ask that. I've had that for technical equipment ("Are you a buyer, installer, operator, etc?").

And hey, it'd be nice if that translated into a lower price but I won't pretend that us geeks don't cause as many problems as we eventually fix.
I prefer that feature massively. Being on hold sucks, you can't fully commit to doing another task because you need to listen out for the fuzzy elevator music to switch to a human voice.

It's prevalent all over the aerospace industry. It's also why the Columbia was lost (foam shedding happens but it's "in family" ie - it's a known issue that hasn't prevented a flight from being successful).

Complicated systems are always having some issues that aren't to spec. The difficulty is assigning an appropriate risk to them.

I've heard people who design 5+ sigma aircraft who refuse to fly on it because they know of some system that isn't up to spec in their eyes; in that case, the opposite is true: they're assigning a risk that is probably too large given the data.

1. MIDI traffic limitations are rarely the issue. The chord smearing that some people claim to be able to hear is not because of traffic but because the protocol is a serialized stream of individual note on/note off messages, and thus by definition there is no possible way for every message to arrive at the same time. However, the actual delays between a set of note on messages caused by the protocol is small enough that it is in the same range as human performance on both keyboards and string instruments. Note that MIDI has no collision detection or ACK-style replies, and you do not use "a single cable" for MIDI unless you have only 1 sender and 1 receiver. If it is a DAW sending "a lot" of MIDI to some external MIDI hardware, the only issues arise if the total amount of data to be sent exceeds the serial capacity of the hardware layer. This is not impossible to make happen, but even so-called black MIDI faces a challenge when doing this, even with classic (DIN) serial MIDI.

2. "parsing incoming notes" does not cause more smearing. Block-sized processing of audio causes a delay which is the "performance latency" that people complain about. It does not change the ordering or interval between note onsets.

3. the "finite amount of processing that has to be done before sound starts being generated" is irrelevant in a block processing architecture (which is used these days by all DAWs and all plugin APIs). As long as the plugin gets its work done within the time represented by the block,there is no additional latency caused by the plugin. If it doesn't, then there's a click anyway.

4. "there's always the possibility that two notes that should start in the same 5ms buffer slot will be spread across two of them". No, there isn't, If that happens, that's a coding error in either the plugin host or the plugin or both. But also, time is continuous. If the notes are supposed to be 3msec apart, it doesn't matter if they are 3msec apart within the same buffer/process cycle, or in two consecutive ones.
The solar radiation profile is more important than the panel.

India can just buy the panels from China and be in nearly the same position, because India has a much better solar profile.

If Greenland was a solar panel production powerhouse, they would never be able to compete with someone like India for solar energy generation...

China has a decent profile, but India's is significantly better.
In Austria a lot of doctors (most?) don't understand that MRIs do not use ionizing radiation (unlike CT scans) and will refuse to schedule a MRI for you, even if you are willing to pay and go private.

If you think this is crazy I will also pont out that homeopathy was invented in Austria and many doctors currently prescribe homeopathic "treatments". You have to specifically state that you don't want homeopathic "medicine" every time you visit a doctor or go to the pharmacy.
