I don’t get it. The Watch locks itself everytime it’s remove from the wrist and doesn’t stay unlocked if you unlock the screen when you’re not wearing it then let it go to standby.
So… you would have to input a pin every single time you use this contraption? Seems quite annoying compared to, you know, wearing the watch.
After working under them for two decades I’ve come to realize GenX is gripped and captivated not by traditional religious story, but recent American history.

I’m early 40s, of the Xennial persuasion and mostly work with under 35 year olds now. The number of under 35s who openly admit they don’t believe any of this bullshit about tech, who see it as just marketing and advertising is wild to me. GenZ are way different people than GenX who mumble something about the greatness of capitalism unironically and just shuffle over to their laptop and ignore how tired they are of pretending their make work job updating some SQL is the future of technology; Hiro Protagonist and Capt Kirk are their spirit animals

GenX just the latest middle management to demand the kids likewise fill the hole in their souls with boring API config and repetitive leetcode to addict people to screen use, a toxic energy hog.

Line must go up! The catechism’s and chants of MBAified American Civic Life: The Religion must be recited! No physics demands this routine of is just socialized ramble, so it’s religious belief in that it’s decoupled from reality outside us. It’s tribal nonsense

It’s super corny obsession with pop culture memes of the last 50 years, outdated belief ST:TNG is right around the corner if we believe hard enough
Even if it’s not an issue, the title you chose now is simply more information dense as well. It’s all around better.

> A UBI eliminates the need for minimum wage.

We shouldn't have any minimum wage regardless of UBI.

But with regards to UBI, you didn't remove minimum wage. All you did was push minimum wage to all members of society regardless of their employment status. You state as much: a $1/hour job is fine if you already make $x, where $x is minimum_wage404.

It actually creates a larger burden on the private sector than if you just let minimum wage exist, as now you have to pay everyone minimum wage just for breathing.

This would create stimulus effects which are counteracted by inflation in time.
OpenHashTab: File hashing and checking shell extension
It was surprisingly (or not) hard to find what this "Rabbit R1" device was (despite the `I assume by now that most people have heard of the Rabbit R1.`), so here is a paste from Wired:

"The promise was simple. Speak into the device and it'll complete tasks for you thanks to Rabbit's “large action models”—call an Uber, reserve dinner plans via OpenTable, play a song through Spotify, or order some food on DoorDash. Just speak and it will handle it, just like if you handed your smartphone to a personal assistant and asked them to do something for you."

I don't understand why an app on the phone wouldn't do that, but maybe I'm not hype enough.
i seriously hate this design
It's funny how we went from using iPod Nano as a watch with a third party case, to using an Apple Watch as an iPod Nano with a third party case.
Finally I am not the average consumer!

I think the parent comment's point is good -- if Apple are watching (pun not intended): you could make a truly tiny phone out of watchOS, please do it.
Yeah, the lack of a camera is a big reason why the Apple Watch isn't a great phone replacement.
Yes. I was really happy, when I discovered GPT3, because I could ask infinit „but why“s without being worried about annoying the tutor. Would be great, if the LLMs wouldn’t be such push-overs. I’d like to hear more „you’re wrong!“.
> From the employer side of things it only makes sense to get a feeling for someone's abilities other than an impression based on words alone.

I'd like to believe this is true, but it fails to explain why candidates for other business functions don't receive the same scrutiny.

I'm not aware of analogous evaluations to get hired to other business roles (e.g. marketer candidates aren't asked to demonstrate a working knowledge of the Google ads dashboard, accountants aren't expected to clean up a fake P&L on their own time for review by hiring managers, etc).

I could be wrong and always welcome correction, but from anecdotal experience talking to friends and work colleagues, the bar for SWE hiring is much, much higher, even controlling for compensation.
I'm so glad they didn't. We would all be stuck on some 14 year old baseline version of SQLite at this point.

SQLite as WASM is a much better solution IMO.
Thank god they’ve got every existing product on the market to choose from, then.
This claims multi-day battery life, since wrist detection can be turned off. I’m curious to know how much of a difference this one change makes. I haven’t bought an AW because the battery life isn’t good enough for a “watch” in my book, but if it can get multiple days of life, and it’s more like a phone replacement, then I’d be more likely to give it a try.
The point is that modern actors struggling to deliver the correct rhythm is a pretty good sign that the language is hard to parse for a modern person, and that will affect the ability of students to be able to read and understand it.
A human understands what they're saying. If a human teacher is working through a math problem and isn't sure of their work, they're able to stop and correct their mistake. An AI math teacher is trained on a corpus of data - probably very similar to the data that the human teacher was trained on, though I'm sure the AI was trained on far more data than any single human ever was - but can't do the introspective part. To put it another way, I think we agree that humans learn better by assessing multiple sources and thinking critically. An AI is very good at the former, but very bad at the latter, and I would rather have a teacher that can think critically about what it is saying to me.
That's absurd.

If I eat a bag of chips and throw it to the ground, "restoring the environment" does not mean going back to the stone age, it means picking it up and putting in on a trash can (plus whatever downstream actions that are involved). Anyone connected with objective reality understands that.

If oil companies (and any other company), by carrying out their operations, incur on some environmental damage, they have to be held liable for it.
The public only has an interest in public goods. And those are still provided by the state. Private goods should be influenced by private transactions, and competiton guides those to optimal market-based outcomes.

Notes from the field: reflections on generative AI x software development
This is a very good look at the various things that make in-app browsers terrible.

Personally, they are a pet peeve of mine (whether we're talking smartphone apps or desktop apps). I think they're a plague.

I was even unpleasantly surprised when I discovered the other day that FreeCAD uses one. I clicked a help link and was left wondering why my browser didn't pop up. So I ran the browser and did a web search to find the help page I was looking for. After I went back to FreeCAD I noticed that it had opened a new tab in the application and brought that page up there.

Right where I didn't want it. It's a small thing in the big picture, but irritating nonetheless. At least I know now to just go straight to a web search instead of using the built-in help system.
i guess it's the same as phones, before biometric authentication? but in general yeah, the watch was not designed to be used like this and anyone who's used a watch should be able to predict how bad the UX is gonna be...
It may seem odd that struggling for life needs defending.
Yes and no! I was just rejected from a job because I used Python's heap functions and the interviewer didn't know what those were or how they worked.

It's not the first time either, once got rejected for using namedtuples!

I sent my son to both of them and I prefer RSM by far. Kumon to me was rote learning - lots of very similar problems. My son did not last even the first semester.

My son then attended RSM from first grade. RSM instruction started from problems like "there are 3 birds on a branch. 1 bird leaves. how many birds are now on the branch" and progressed onward. By grade 7 he is learning logarithms and, at a very basic introductory level, abstract concepts such as function

(by function I mean the real definition of a function, not the easy f(x) = 2 x + 1 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(mathematics))
I've always wanted to take an apple watch and use it like a flip phone! This is pretty fun! I've never wanted the distraction of an apple watch and I appreciate the ability to put this thing in a pocket.
If you take a birds eye view, fundamental breakthroughs don't happen that often. "Attention Is All You Need" paper also came out in 2017. It has now been 7 years without breakthrough at the same level as transformers. Breakthrough ideas can take decades before they are ready. There are many false starts and dead ends.

Money and popularity are orthogonal to pathfinding that leads to breakthroughs.

Apple doesn't care what Android users think as long as the majority of Americans continue to think iPhone's are "premium" products, are willing to spend $1k to buy a new iPhone because they don't have a slot for an SD card so that's the only way to get more space, and genuinely believe YOU are the dumb one for buying an "inferior" Android phone.
After the most massive awareness campaign you can imagine to get people to know about this at all, the opt-in rate would likely be < 0.00000001%. Cash-like incentives would be required. Likely, router manufactures would have to be bribed to promote that to the users, and have some opt-in screen in the router firmware.
tried to find that as well. the "How it works" section is completely useless.
It's been a while since I looked into this, but diet is a major factor with inflammation. Sugars, seed oils and grain-fed dairy. (Also if you eat the grains yourself!) Keto lowers it, caloric restriction lowers it (conversely excess calories coupled with sedentary lifestyle increase it), intermittent fasting lowers it.

I forget about exercise, I think it's a case of temporarily increasing it (hours) and then lowering it long-term.
Yes.

That does go along with article I just saw on Valve that they operate their systems with 350 admins, versus EA with 10,000 people.
You really have to watch the Steve Jobs-esque announcement video to understand what they were promising with this device, and understand how utterly it failed to deliver on those promises.

I did not know about this, thank you.

> Been eying wp-graphql for my one wordpress project. From my dabbling with it, the DX feels a lot nicer than the WP REST api, though I'm sure you know that's an awfully low bar to clear.

Yes on both scores. There's a reasonably useful Woocommerce binding:

https://github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql-woocommerce

Which is what I was using for the federated storefronts, with the API locked down so it could only be accessed from a back-office client I hooked up with a Laravel worker. At the time it was very early days, but wp-graphql has quite a sane interaction with the hooks/actions model, so it's not awfully difficult to add/patch/override the things you need.
You can turn off wrist detection so it stays unlocked.
Help: How does your customer support process handle technical issues and bugs?
We're working on a product that bridges customer support and engineering teams.

Could you help me understand how the support process works at your startup/company? I'd like to understand:

1. Who reports an issue and how it gets reported.
2. How you debug it.
3. What information is collected to debug it and from where (please mention the tools you use if possible).
4. Where you keep track of technical issues and bugs.
5. Who the stakeholders are at each point.
My pessimistic take on the world at the moment is that at least 50% of jobs in the US fall into Graeber's BS jobs category. I saw a map a few years ago that labelled the largest employer in each state. In every state except Arkansas (Walmart), the largest employer was a university or a healthcare company. Education and healthcare policies are controversial because everyone wants those things to be as good as possible, but also because a huge majority of Americans are employed in those industries and our governments pump massive amounts of funding into these bureaucratic structures.

We already have UBI, it's just the overblown bureaucracies housed by American corporate structures.

Ransomware costs at critical infrastructure orgs soar
Kinda hard to have a SWE sector worth protecting when its all H1B Visa applicants. You guys realize these companies have to be unable to find suitable candidates in order to import workers who will undermine labor, right? In addition, the mass influx of illegal migrant workers are reducing the otherwise buoyant wage effect of menial labor.

The idea that a mass influx of Indian workers taking top-tier STEM jobs is good for the USA is absolute self-accepted denigration of our society. But, Hacker News doesn't care, YCombinator has led the way in undermining high-end domestic labor for over a decade. Drink the Kool-Aid to get the funding, ammiright?
This is exactly what I've been looking for. There's plenty of cheap RTSP and ONVIF compliant cameras coming out of china, but I trust them exactly 0%.

But then I need to figure out how to access the video streams.. from the network my computer is on that does have access to the outside world.

Why work to make the interviewer happy again? If your solution is better than the interviewer's you should expect the interviewer to acknowledge that fact, like an adult and like a team player. He is not supposed to be offended or unhappy.
It has a weird, verbose API that's more like a simple document store than a SQL database, so it's naturally going to be outperformed by SQLite, especially if you're performing complex operations. It's also heavily async which means operations have to spin the event loop.
Prices went up because the federal reserve system has been playing very funny games. Old lessons often have to be repeated.

Elastic money will perpetually confuse people, as it takes the discussion out of reality. This is not a simple "supply/demand" problem. It is artificial booms/busts that were instigated by the fed.

I agree cuz one thing that AI is good is breath knowledge of apis if it's properly trained.

rejected by some founders who got rich by selling an ios fart app to apple ten years ago
rejected via HR/email/auto-reject a couple places
at least nobody has ever accused me of not being sufficiently candid.
> Do you think those people should just die in the street?

I expect for this to be an available path but an unlikely one. People tend to give to those in need. Sometimes that comes with conditions: no drugs, get a job, etc. Historically we used religious institutions for this, which is largely why they are tax exempt.

Breaking poverty tends to require a shift in behavior. UBI by definition removes the requirement that someone makes EV+ decisions and lifestyle changes.

I once had to design an error-message display for an office machine with an 8-line, 40-character wide LCD. Errors could only be shown on the bottom line and if they were more than 40 characters long (I'm looking at you, German language!), they had to scroll.

I spent hours trying to figure out some mathematical calculation that took the screen width and the total length of the error message and how much was off screen, etc., to come up with a good algorithm that worked for all combinations of message lengths. By lunchtime I had something workable, but it was the ugliest code imaginable.

We went to lunch and when I came back, I looked at the machine and the obvious solution came to me: the screen was just a 40-character wide window into the text and all I had to do was pan it over the length of the message. Like barely 3 lines of code to implement.

I try to remember that lesson whenever I find myself spending way too much time on something that sounds like it should be simple!

Those people pass both tests -- referral and standard hiring. To me the question hinges on whether people refer people who might fail standard screening, or if they're just cherry picking in ways your analysis "discovers."

The difference to employers might be moot I suppose, but if you want to substitute referral for standard hiring screens you kinda need to get at something like this to know if referrals are contributing any new information or just boosting hit ratios on existing tests.

Something like “Use AI with your company’s private data” maybe that makes it clearer what the app does. That’s not amazing but something along those lines perhaps. And be sure to also explain what makes it unique, since there are many other products in the space. What makes your product different from all the others? Simplicity? Integrations? Whatever it is, try to really hone in on that.

It's of course very silly, and I'm sure commenters here are going to talk about all the ways that it isn't practical or that it's a niche idea, but I love whimsical silly niche hardware ideas that make it into actual hardware. I love that they put in all of the effort to figure out a mechanical linkage between the clickwheel and the digital crown!

I don't think all hardware needs to be take-over-the-world hundred-million-unit ideas; I think sometimes it's fine for hardware to be whimsical niche things like this Apple Watch case or Andrew McCalip's doomscroller doo-dad [1]!
