This project looks very useful at a glance.

Create native applications that use the widely popular HTML/CSS paradigm for layout, but leave out much of the heavyweight stuff that a full JS/DOM/browser API implies. This looks like it can enable very large improvements over packaging browser engines like electron etc. do.

Funnily enough, I just recently listened to Casey Muratori on Richard Feldman‘s podcast, where they where extremely critical of CSS.

Some of the stories they told, like having to prerender and dynamically measure web pages in order to achieve some very simple layout relationships hit right at home.

Writing CSS feels, as Muratori said, more like presenting a case in the court of law, instead of building upon simple primitives.

Now there’s of course a very widespread need or want that is met by this project. Not just in terms of familiarity but also compatibility and the fact that „happy path CSS“ is incredibly productive.

But maybe there’s an opportunity to provide a simpler, general layer that a user of this can drop down to.

Perhaps the authors can find inspiration by looking at CSS houdini, which tries to make CSS extensible via a JS API. Or maybe that’s what they mean by „Custom Widgets“?
While “safety” may be the justification, I doubt it has anything to do with the motivation.

The motivation will be money. The normalisation of small, inexpensive cars would have a serious impact on the American car industry, which prefers to sell larger, less efficient vehicles as the minimum vehicle. (At roughly 5x the price)

If demand developed for small, inexpensive vehicles they would be at a severe disadvantage to a wide range of manufacturers that currently supply these types of vehicles to nations around the globe.

The rise of electric vehicles would compound this problem, since electric mini vehicles with limited range and speed (but perfect for local use) are common on the global market at the 3000-4000(usd) price point.

There is also a similar class of internal combustion powered vehicles with around 300cc motors at that price point as well.

I would estimate that between the micro-ICE and Electric types, they might easily take over a 10% market segment if allowed to.
Did you know about the novel or the author before you saw the book?
The difference between an untrained runner, a trained runner and n elite athlete are left completely unanalyzed. Given how seemingly varied for no apparent reason some of these points on the graph are and coming from an anecdotal perspective this analysis is not very useful, and probably even wrong.

Seemingly an elite athlete must have been tracked because almost nobody(considering the whole population) can run the given top-end pace for a sustained amount of time (More that 100metres).

I was hoping for more from the article, or at least that it was called 'calorically More efficient'.
Yeah, small inconsistencies and some hand wavy language put me off from reading the entire article. Like, what do you mean by "vertices appear bigger in perspective projection"? Vertices are just coordinates in space with no size.
Story Behind Ente's Mascot
I have found huge gaps with how digestible different audiobooks are.

It's so painful when there is a book I am really excited to listen to and find that I just can't. Maybe I just mentally drop out mid-sentence or the words float past without carrying any meaning and it can be difficult to pin down why.

One aspect is the performance. An accent or an intonation can cause a nails on blackboard type revulsion. A morose, monotone or bored voice, ugh? For example, I just can't do any Scott Brick performance (which is pretty annoying given how prolific he is) because he trails off every sentence in this weird pitch change that doesn't match how any normal person speaks. It causes me this distressing mental dissonance because it's so disconnected to the passage being read. I suspect it's a result of him just reading out words blind and not talking like a human trying to communicate specific meanings and feelings.

This is also the problem with robot voices - the difference between a joke, a question, an assertion, a doubt, sarcasm or self-delusion can all be in the intonation. With text you might pause and revoice a passage to catch a meaning but the conveyor belt of audio means the next words are upon you giving no chance for reflection. The place where I can handle a robot voice is when using it with the text in front of me. I quite like it as a pace setter. I still have my own internal voice giving flavour but gain some reading endurance when tired or the material is boring/dry and I keep mentally wandering off.

The other aspect is the style of writing - some writing is delightful to read but awful to listen to. The parameters includes everything from sentence structure to vocabulary. A simple example is lists: perfect for quickly imbibing visually but can be maddening to hear read out. Same with numbers, or parentheticals or footnotes or... so I generally can't listen to anything technical.

The most listenable things for me is anything in a conversational style. However, even dialogue dominated works can be torture when they use certain patterns of "he said"/"she said" directions that are effectively punctuation and silent when we read but overwhelming when voiced. A first-person diary style often fits with being spoken without changes. There is a probably an AI opportunity to rewrite books to more resemble radio plays that work better as voice performances.

IMHO voicing technical works needs some brand new ideas. Real life conference talks that just narrate their paper are torture to sit through. Successfully engaging speakers use personality, humour, anecdotes and structure talks playfully with setup/reveals, hypotheticals, pauses for thought and have all sorts of rhetorical tricks to bring drama to the driest content.

Weird, this comment got downvoted, twice.

Which led me to believe I might be wrong, but I just double-checked and I'm definitely right. Anyone care to explain?

> Mathlib defines cos x = (exp(ix)+exp(-ix))/2

I am not understanding why you think this is at all relevant.

Its like saying a^2 + b^2 = c^2 is not geometric because it doesnt make reference to triangles. But at the end of the day, everyone understands Pythagorean theorem to be an inherently geometric equation, because geomtry is just equations and numbers.

I realize to some extent this is all subjective, but to me its insane to claim that cos is not an inherently geometric function. Agree to disagree.

I had been a Spotify subscriber since near when it started. I was annoyed with every change over the years, but I had nearly a decade of playlists that I didn't want to lose. It never felt worth switching because it seemed like a huge effort.

Recently, I finally switched to Apple Music after discovering there is absolutely no way to disable video podcasts on child accounts and that because of that, Spotify search is full of TikTok compilations, Minecraft streamers, and straight up adult content that you absolutely can't disable for children. It's really terrible and unforgivable.

The good news is (1) I actually like Apple Music a lot more, even on Android and (2) switching took like 5 minutes using Soundiiz. It is a web app where you log into both services and it syncs your playlists and collections instantly. I have no connection to it and there are probably other similar services that might be just as good, but it worked really well for me and was worth the $5 or whatever I payed. I moved everyone in my family over to Apple Music and no one complained or lost any playlists.

Since being on Apple Music, it's really refreshing that they prioritize music features over dumb engagement features. They promote lossless audio and spatial audio remixes instead of trying to push paid podcasts and other junk you don't want. It also supports streaming your own local music that is not in their library. It is a really nice product.

Obviously both are giant companies who don't care about you, but Apple Music really seems like a better product to me made by people who actually listen to music.
> Problem is Swift engineer supply is low, there's not a viable business case to learn Swift because it's not actually viable cross-platform for development

The Swift business case is that in many situations native is strongly preferable than cross-platform. Excluding some startups that wants to go to market super fast and consulting companies that have to sell the cheapest software possible, usually the benefits of native outweighs the ones of cross platform.

For this reason now there are plenty of companies of all sizes (faangs included) that build and maintain native apps with separate iOS/Android teams. There are very good business reasons to learn Swift or Kotlin in my opinion.

Show HN: LeadMap.tools,Navigate Best Lead Generation Tools for Small Businesses
How I Discovered a Need for Better Lead Generation Tools (And What I Did About It)

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a little story about how I ended up creating [LeadMap.tools](http://leadmap.tools). It all started when I was working with a few small and medium-sized businesses, helping them with their sales processes. One thing that kept coming up was how hard it was for them to find the right lead generation tools. They were spending so much time trying out different tools, only to end up frustrated because the tools didn’t fit their needs.

That got me thinking—why isn’t there a simple, easy-to-navigate directory where businesses can find the best lead generation tools without all the hassle? I realized this was a real pain point, especially for SMBs that don’t have the luxury of wasting time and resources on trial and error.

So, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I spent the next few months researching, planning, and building what eventually became LeadMap.tools. It wasn’t a smooth ride—there were plenty of challenges along the way, from figuring out how to curate the tools effectively to making sure the site was user-friendly. But after a lot of late nights and a few too many cups of coffee, I finally launched the site.

*So, what’s LeadMap.tools all about?*

It’s a curated directory that helps small and medium-sized businesses easily find the best lead generation tools. The idea is simple: you come to the site, navigate through our organized categories, and find exactly what you need without the headache. Whether you’re looking for email marketing solutions, CRM tools, or anything else related to lead generation, we’ve got you covered.

*Why should you check it out?*

- *Curated Selection:* We’ve handpicked the best tools, so you don’t have to sift through a sea of options.
- *User-Friendly Navigation:* The site is designed to make it easy for you to find what you’re looking for, even if you’re not super tech-savvy.
- *Tailored for SMBs:* The focus is on tools that work well for small and medium-sized businesses, so you won’t find anything that’s overkill or out of reach.

I’d love for you all to check it out and give me your feedback. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out in the world of sales, I think you’ll find something useful on LeadMap.tools. And of course, any suggestions or improvements are more than welcome!

Thanks for reading, and I hope you find LeadMap.tools as helpful as I intended it to be.

Cheers!

Author here. You're absolutely right. I got so used to reading resources on paper using Cartesian coordinates and having to account for it in screen space that I overlooked this conversion in the explanations. I'll go over it and amend it ASAP.
Their best deployment/installation instructions are for Macs, and for Linux they suggest things like nix-shell or flatpak, rather than straight-up packages for the popular distributions/package management systems. That's my reading of things, anyway.

Purely anecdotal, but I was surprised to find out that I gained significant weight when I switched from walking 6 hours/week to riding a bike for the same amount of time. I find it much harder to recover from riding, which makes sense because my heart rate goes way higher.

Riding is much more fun, but I suspect you are completely right about walking being the better choice for weight loss. I was at my leanest when my breakfast was just black coffee and it was followed by a 60-90 minute walk.
It would’ve been the best place to say sorry, but as far as I understand this would have legal consequences.

Interesting! I often read self-help books slowly to understand them better or let those thoughts sink in. I agree that the books are great but I didn't find myself reading them non-stop as I do with some story type or Sci-fi novel.
Agreed, I also think local transcription is the ultimate solution. For now though, whisper.cpp is still too slow on cell phones. It may take some more time to develop.

I haven't followed listennotes' transcription feature, I'll check it out. I've tried their catalog and search API, and many popular Chinese podcasts are not included.

15” Air resolution is lower than 16” pro.

And 15” before had same resolution as 16”.

It's because this is a marketing piece. It's not a lie but there is a gloss of PR.
Another commenter talked about prehistoric hunters chasing game. I would assume that those hunters were quite a bit more fit than the average Western dude today. It's also not surprising that a human body in good shape is still optimized for that prehistoric lifestyle.

Notably, people tend to see what they expect to see.

When they are looking for cars, they tend not to see motorcycles, even when they are in plain view.

OTOH, motorcycles can fit into blind spots on cars that other cars cannot, often into blind spots that typically go unnoticed.

I don't see why that means there's anything off. Just because most of us can't produce enough energy per unit time to maintain this pace doesn't mean that it's not the most efficient pace per unit distance.

Anecdotally, when I start (or re-start) running I find the pace I can run at increases quite rapidly. That makes sense with this data - although my fitness is only increasing slowly, being able to produce slightly more power actually gives a disproportionate increase in pace because the higher speed is more efficient per km.
I've never completed a book in one sitting! Now I am envious of that feeling and would love to read a book from start to finish soon. I've two books from the millennial series remaining to be read, maybe I can start with those.
My argument was actually focused on "I want to travel with it". But - I travel with it to places where I need to connect to to things: A monitor in a hotel room; a USB device of a friend or host; a physical network in an institution or company or a home I'm visiting. That's what the ports are for.

As for the keyboard - I absolutely need a decent keyboard to type, traveling or no.
I have psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis which I take biologics for. The biologic I am on now is working wonders but the others have been hit or miss.

In my experience, removing sugar has helped. Tumeric and Glucosamine have been known to help with anti inflammatory ailments. My sister in law takes bone broth and it has helped a lot with issues.
You are cherry picking things here. If this is some ideological thing for you I’m really not interested in having that conversation.

The health of the two projects genuinely isn’t close at all. Comparing what they are actually both shipping in terms of features in the last year is two very very different stories.

Yes, see for instance

I also remember that 2-3 years ago it was very easy to find hardcore porn images on Spotify, but at least they have fixed that, as this could have gotten them into real trouble. But otherwise, I think it's clear that Spotify has zero interest in disabling videos.

It's the same with Youtube, I actually had to resort to a third-party application (Freetube) to set up a curated list of channels for my kid he's allowed to watch, because it's not possible to do that in Youtube itself...

> It feels like the tech industry is conspiring to get small children hooked.

I think there's ample evidence that this is indeed the case.
> Then they get rear ended by a one ton SUV or even just hit a pole at 25 mph and it’s fatalities all around.

Isn't that also making the case that one ton SUV aren't safe either? At least in a golf cart you're putting your own life at risk, not others. Presumably there are less pedestrians/cyclists/motorcyclists killed by golf carts.
I read an article that the models have become lazy as if they mimic the human behavior of postponing some work over to the next month if you are close to the month end or to next year if you're close to Xmas and things like that.
Sorry, but both of these are, IMHO, irrelevant. You can't connect them to (almost) anything, and they don't have a decent keyboard to type on. I might as well use an etch-a-sketch or something.

Speaking of being light, though - a Lenovo X220 is pretty light. With today's tech and the amount of money an AirBook goes for you could reduce the weight much further.
The idea of using narrowband RGB light sources for scanning color negatives is fascinating. It’s great to see a practical approach that addresses the common issues with white light scans. I’m curious: have you tested this setup with different film stocks, and if so, how consistent were the results across various brands?

Segmenting at lower resolution and then using them at higher resolution using resolution multipliers don't work as other items bleed in. FastSAM paper has some interesting ideas on doing this with CNNs which I guess SAM2 have superseded. However, the complication in the pipeline is not worth the result as I find vision LLMs are able to do almost the same task within the same OCR prompt.
I think they benefited from slower runs across the course of days rather than sprints to chase game. Lots of animals are faster than humans, but in order to cool down they have to stop. From what I've read, humans' ability to run and stay cool through sweating allowed them to, over the course of days track and just simply wear out animals to the point the animal would just collapse from exhaustion.

There's a lot of cases where I've been offered up an artist's "greatest hits" or "latest hit" through an algorithm, and it got me curious enough to dig and discover their albums, and listen to them the way they probably intended. I think your comment is a narrow way to look at algorithmic suggestions, and it comes off elitist.

To me personally it appears that difference in speed is a key to safety it the lack of it. Hence I feel comfortable traveling on motorcycle next to car (relatively of course), but I would not dare do the same on bicycle or golf cart on highway. May be the logic here is the same?
I use this one, too. I also love the (optional) ligatures for things like boolean comparisons.
