I got a _spectacular_ deal on the pixel 8 when I called to complain on my phone plan, otherwise I would have still used a Motorola.

The phone was $200, and I got a pixel watch 2 LTE as well that I flipped for $250. The only thing I had to do was keep using the phone plan I have used for 8 years for another year.
What kind of low budget commentary is this? Why put it on HN? What's _your_ goal here?
I noticed this morning my 7a back adhesive has weakened already. Guess it ain't water resistant anymore and it's barely over a year old.
"The comet strike ushered in a 1,200-year ice age and led to the extinction of many large animals, Dr. Sweatman said. For humans, the comet probably also led to differences in lifestyle and agriculture that helped usher in the rise of civilization as we know it."

I thought the Americas' megafauna died after the ice age, not because of it?

Good question—NER and entity normalization work well for documents that have been standardized (e.g., IRS 1040a tax forms). However, the moment something slightly changes about the form, such as the structure of the table, the accuracy of NER drops dramatically.

This is why logistics companies, financial services, and insurance firms have in-house teams to process these documents (e.g., insurance claims adjusters) or outsource them to BPOs. These documents can vary significantly from one to another.

With LLMs fine-tuned on your data, the accuracy is much higher, more robust, and more generalizable. We have a human in the loop for flagged results to ensure we maintain the highest accuracy standards in critical settings like financial services.
This looks like a toy, but its INSANELY COOL! You build a proof of concept? This technology is cool.

I was at a tiny house competition, and we were using golf cart batteries, and the winner: The University of Santa Clara, CA:

"The house stores its energy using saltwater batteries, the only batteries in the world to be Cradle to Cradle certified."

>How do you explain nail houses in China then?

A private entity trying to buy a private entity is not the same as the Chinese government taking or using the land they, the state, owns:

"According to the Constitution, land in cities is owned by the State; land in the rural and suburban areas is owned by the State or by collectives. (Constitution, art. 10.) Although individuals cannot privately own land, they may obtain transferable land-use rights for a number of years for a fee."[0]

Any chance your bold assertion is something you just pulled out of the air?

Dunno, that all sounds more like great ways to break eyeglasses.
USA is not the only market for pixel phones. In places with higher concentration of Android users, there's a premium market that the pixel fits into.
Where did the “{our, the} most {adj} yet” marketing thing come from? I remember apple using it for a long time. Did everyone just decide to copy it? It sounds so lame to see it during every tech product announcement.
I've never used a case and never will. It's not that hard to not drop your phone, and unless you get a heavy duty case (like an OtterBox) they aren't adding much protection anyways. It's not worth the added expense, ugly look, and crappy plastic texture.
Very telling that the first two pictures are of the camera lenses. Is that where most of the $999 price tag is going?
On the one hand this is definitely a potential issue.

On the other hand I’m not sure how the current state of the web is really any different. We just rely on Google or whatever search engine to “fact check.”

I think there was some guidance around waiting 2–3 years since your prescription changed, which I met—though that's obviously imperfect.

There was never any clear cause/effect. My best guess is that it was from being super tense during the surgery. I found it extremely uncomfortable and intense to be fully conscious, knowing it would be bad news if I moved my eyes during the procedure. (They're holding a flap of your eyeball open during it, etc—super fun.)

Would have requested a little higher dose of Valium if I could do it over again. :) And maybe crossed a border to a high-volume specialty shop instead of my local ophthalmologist.
I read the article and it beautifully explained that it is a tool for people at public gatherings like festivals to easily be able to find each other. And to be able to alert friends to find one of one would feel uneasy in a situation.

The direction of your paired friends is indicated by the max. Four lights at the outer ring. The compass tracks the direction you are going towards and this way, by aligning the "needle" with the target light it leads you to your friend.

There's a vanilla 2TB plan for $10/month, the plan with 2TB and Gemini is $20/month. You could say that Gemini is $10/month then, but if you don't actually need 2TB or the other benefits then you're effectively paying $20/month because you can't unbundle Gemini from everything else.

Did you also feel this way when Amazon and Facebook/Meta were making (or close to making) phones?
My opinion is that your ideas of "user friendliness" are misguided. I think a better way to phrase what you're trying to say is that, there is a class of software that have user manuals and require a flip-through, and there is a class of software that locks its users into predefined tracks so they can only ever pick from the choices presented to them.

I don't think there is anything unfriendly about needing a manual. If only all software could be so thoroughly documented! It used to be, back in the 80s and 90s, and it was a better time. I mean, isn't it a disservice to, in an analogy, give a user a kayak without a paddle?

In the 1970s, secretaries who had not used computers found it easy to use Emacs and program in LISP. [1] And I, personally, was a voracious reader of software manuals when I was a small child. And they made the world make sense, and they made me a smarter person for it. And I really do believe that people waste more of their lives picking ill-suited preset choices than they would if they (could have) just read a manual.

Never heard about this before, why exactly?
Point out where I said we should “shutdown all scientific discussions.” You won’t be able to, and you will then realize how incredibly absurd what you just wrote is.

What I always wonder is which people use SQLite to run tests for a Postgres application. Isn’t the difference in dialect pretty much always an issue unless you do only the most basic type of queries? pglite fills a hole where imho currently only dockerized Postgres sits
> I wish there were more options for people who don’t care that much about the camera in their smartphone.

Just get a cheap phone? If you're paying $500+ for a phone, I'd estimate most of that money is going into the camera. Judging by the marketing, anyway.
Yeah, I was only struck by the previous comment's implication that the UN Office of Drugs and Crime might in the ordinary course take and act on feedback from the EFF. Like, it could happen, but it would be very surprising, right?

I think it almost doesn't make sense, in that I perceive EFF to be, whether overtly or not, a very American organization with very American public policy views.
Step 2 is: you go where we say.

Oh great! Someone (Garmin?) used to have a fully off grid group locator like this, but they stopped selling it pretty quickly. This kind of thing is very useful when cell coverage is poor (i.e. put one on your dogs collar). There are times when you can't rely on the cell network and, for those cases, these kinds of devices are super useful. I don't really care for the "party" features but if I can buy 4 of them and each one can display how to get to the other device, it would be amazing!
Yes. With a lot of interesting tech, that - as per the article - allows for a better reach and experience (and stability of the situation). Not sure about their claims, though.

But a cool writeup nonetheless imho.
maybe use it to have a controlled product in the market to test Android?
I had one Google Pixel 8 and couldn't regret more. It broke (my mistake) so I'm already free of it.
That animation with the fish is impressive, it's very difficult to get pixel art to feel natural and organic like that.
Everyone knows this.

But without looking at the direct rules of the system, this is the best you can do.

It’s not like you can just open the source code of the universe. You observe and make a theory that explains the observations, then the theory holds at least until a new observation contradicts the theory.

Is the current theory wrong? Maybe. But everything can be wrong and the world is always welcome to hear a new theory that completely explains all current observations.

But to just say a theory is wrong without providing a completely explained new one adds nothing.
Remember when average people cared about benchmarks? Because I don't.
Is this the same Chipotle "leader" than recently raised prices, reduced portions, and generally made everyone hate Chipotle?

I have never watched the movie, only heard about it in CD‘s video. I have watched his documentation at least six or seven times now. It is that good.

If you don't need astigmatism correction, spherical contact lenses give much better image quality than glasses. You don't get the image minification/magnification that you get with glasses, and the off-axis optical aberrations are much reduced because the lens moves with your eyeball, meaning it's always correctly aligned.

Astigmatism correction in contact lenses sacrifices some image quality (sharpness is reduced), but it might still be better than glasses depending on how much correction is needed.

It's possible to combine spherical contact lenses with cylindrical glasses, which might give the best overall image quality depending on the exact correction needed.

Related to this, different glasses lens materials cause different levels of chromatic aberration, measured by Abbe number. The cheapest (PADC, e.g. CR-39) is one of the best you can get.
They're for keeping track of and finding friends at events like raves or big concerts. I don't know if this one does, but others have an "I'm in distress" feature that alerts all their friends as well.

Disclaimer: I've never used one. Well, honestly, I've never been to a rave or huge concert, so I'm not the target audience.
My understanding is that the total tax rate (city+state+federal) is higher in places like New York and California than it is in Finland
You do when you're on the phone and need to attract attention of someone nearby. I guess waving a hand in front of their face also works...
Speaking of the big bang, how did time work back then? :)

It's cool to say "in the first milliseconds of the existence of the universe X and Y happened", but how did time supposedly run as usual while everything else was on the fringe of our understanding of reality? There don't seem to be any answers to this (or I haven't looked thoroughly enough) but it feels like a very important question that's always overlooked by everyone talking about this.
There's a whole market of 250-400$ Android phones that are targeting exactly that. Every brand makes phones in the cheap with average camera segment.
Er, what? You swap out your towels at home more than once a week? That seems pretty wasteful water- and electricity-wise.

Most hotels I've stayed at give you at least 2 or 3 rolls of TP, and while the soap bars they give you are small, they last more than a week, easy.
AdGuard has worked well enough on Safari on iOS for years now.
Wow, this is game changing!
With your inventions, interestingly we might also be discovering reverse ETL use cases, where the insights/analytics obtained from the troves of unstructured data can be fed back into ERP/CRM/HCM systems, closing the complete loop and amplifying more business value!!

then please elaborate on "complexities involved down the funnel" and where I am misunderstanding with examples.
design sessions, code reviews, style guidelines, sanitizers, etc... the list is endless. you know, software engineering and all.
No, and unlike the siblings I can actually feel it.

That being said, wezterm is about the only terminal I can use now (besides putty). I'm on a cursed setup, Windows with a Linux VM and whatever terminal I use it has to be able to directly ssh into the VM (NOT via ssh.exe), otherwise there's much worse latency/quirks due to stupid Windows conpty issues.

Currently it does not annoy me too much, but when I finally have time I think I'd try to fix it.
when an important fact like this is added to a subthread, i wish all the thread participants would come back and edit their comments to reflect it
That's kind of ugly though, IMO. I'd rather have a solid back.

Kagi’s Orion browser for iOS actually supports ublock and other browser extensions.

It’s a bit wonky and on iPhones there’s a lack of configurability, for example there’s no way that I know of to bring up a dialog to block elements in ublock, or adjust the settings in dark reader, but they do seem to work well enough in their default flavor.

The reading list functionality is less ergonomic, but tabs/pages are more ergonomic imo, and it seems to work better with webpages that safari spins it’s wheels on.

Unfortunately it doesn’t help the forced zoom that Apple forces on everything when a text box is loaded, that is then compounded when giving it focus with a cursor for writing (yes, I’ve already tried all system systems that could potentially disable that. Nothing works, Apple’s text input continues to be straight up burning garbage on multiple levels)

I’d say it’s worth trying, and sending feedback to.
That’s actually a great idea. Especially as one is already cheaper than those yearly subscriptions for a dog tracker (at least in Germany). Sadly they are a bit too big to put on our one cat that always roams a bit far. ;-)
Yes, why would I not? I don't buy computing devices from any of them... Google phones are straight up a data harvesting device for Google lol.
"it's useless. GPT-2 level" Really?

In my experience they are at similar level for most tasks.
Probably. And we're probably going to see more of that later with other companies.
Totally forgot about IoT

That's harsh, dude! ;-)

Tablets: These should be revolutionary. In practice, they're not, and I'm trying to sort out why.

The biggest gripe is that there's no single use for which a tablet is a preferred option, other than as an e-book reader, and numerous others for which it is distinctly less-than-optimal, with smaller smart (or "dumb") phones being better for on-the-go comms, and full-featured laptops or notebooks being preferably for virtually all compute applications.

I'd made that case in a Diaspora* post a few years back: <https://diaspora.glasswings.com/posts/880e5c403edb013918e100...>.

The most detailed critique is in this comment to that thread, with a (sorry, poorly-rendering at most screen-widths) table:

<https://diaspora.glasswings.com/posts/880e5c403edb013918e100...>

I've used tablets for about a decade now (first an Android Samsung device, 3+ years on an Onyx BOOX e-ink ebook-reader, though it's really an Android tablet), and my assessment of them as less-than-serious compute devices remains, even with the addition of an external keyboard and Termux (a Linux-on-Android environment). There are simply too many compromises from the Android environment. And everything I've seen about iOS suggests that they would be worse as a general-compute device, despite some clear wins over Android/Google/Samsung elsewhere.

I'm not sure if tablets can break through or not. I'm leaning increasingly to a number of independent devices: tablet (for ebooks and podcasts), laptop (for real work), a small phone, preferably feature, possibly something like the Light Phone, independent image/video and audio capture (dedicated camera, point-and-shoot or DSLR, handheld audio recorder, see NYT's reviews: <https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/the-best-voice-re...> ... and note that reporters make heavy use of such equipment). At this point I'm not even sure I want a general-purpose phone of any sort given the heavy abuse of that channel (smishing / robocalls / fraud / harassment), though a wide-spread alternative doesn't seem to have emerged yet.
Google Messages adds a toggle switch for the obtrusive Gemini button
I submitted it ten days ago, it got no comments or upvotes, so submitting it again is totally fine. Only submissions with some attention make something a dupe.
To me that sounds like a csv file and it'll likely be a python script from me.

Okay so confirmed you're going meta to dodge any actual points being made, and grind any possible progress of the conversation to a halt. Bye!
No Termux? Could probably add an Android section as there are a few I know of.
It blows me away that people will spend $1k for a phone when there are good options for $500 or less. I will grant that Google's phone is probably the best. But in my experience the difference in quality does not correlate to the difference in price. Apple has a monopoly and they set price expectations.

Also, I think buyers think if you have a cheaper phone strangers may think you are poor. Personally I want people to think I am poorer than I am.
NER is good for really simple things (like getting names, addresses, etc.).

A lot of the use cases that we see, like extracting data from nested tables in 100-page-long private credit documents or flagging transactions and emails that contain a specific compliance violation, are impossible to do with NER.

With Trellis, the idea is taht you can write any mappings and transformations (no matter how complex the tasks or the source data are).
I think everybody would be happy if you came up with a different explanation! what's happened so far is that we have a known mechanism, and no alternative explanations have worked yet.
I think the much rounder corners, as well as the round camera bulge look terrible. These were significantly better in the previous iterations.
4k still only at 60Hz. Weak.
1) They basically said "we expect you to change your employment terms, hours of work and duration of work etc. Do you accept?" without communicating what would it entail, if there would be additional payments for extra work etc.
2) If the contract is not renegotiated it defaults to the previously agreed contract. One party cannot solely renegotiate it, as with any contract there must be 2 parties in agreement.
3) They gave 24 hours to respond or you automatically "resigned". This is a forced resignation, for it to be lawful it would need to have been tendered / given by the employee. It was also stated by the court that 24 hours notice is not enough time for any reasonable person to digest the information and give an informed response.
4) 3 days later he received an email stating they accepted his resignation but they would not engage with him or his legal advisors in those 3 days or after November 19th.
I think the Pixel 1, 4, and 7 are very nice looking. This one too.
Totally agree.

Look at the marketing text on the Pixel Fold (https://store.google.com/us/product/pixel_9_pro_fold?hl=en-U...):

“An epic display of Google AI.
All the magic of Gemini on Pixel's largest screen.“

It is not only completely cringeworthy, but also nonsensical. How does having a bigger display affect AI at all? What sets it apart from other Pixels? Nothing.

I am honestly shocked that this company can keep putting out garbage like this. Any smaller company or startup would go bankrupt and cannot afford to be this sloppy and incompetent. This is only possible if your company has enormous cash reserves and monopolistic market position, where you can eat losses and fail repeatedly on epic scales.
Dapphub is a great service to improve web3 web browser and transactions.
If uBlock is the only thing holding you back from an iPhone, you can use the Orion browser, which can install many Chrome extensions (including uBlock Origin)
Serious case of sticker shock here.

My current Android phone was free from the provider in exchange for buying around 3 months of service in advance. It is no speed demon but certainly does all of your average phone stuff just fine.
As a developer I can sympathize having dealt with frustration implementing SSO but as a user (and I'm aware I may be in the minority on HN) I've bailed out of trying quite a few webapps that don't offer Sign in With Google or Sign in With Apple.

There is a psychological effect where I dread the image of whatever half broken bespoke registration flow or inane password requirements someone came up with when I only see a "Create Account" button.

That may not make a difference for signing up for an account at like a bank or something I truly need but for say a Show HN for Yet Another Thin Layer Over GPT #372 the odds are high I'll just click back and move on with my life.
I am surprised the number is that low - I have believed for decades now that Americans generally consider this heavy use of credit cards to be normal behavior.
