The Micro-Benchmark Fallacy
Only from farming things that honestly shouldn't be grown here. There's actually plenty for people to use / drink, which is a LOT lower than farming uses.

From the Arizona Department of Water:

Irrigated agriculture is the largest user of water in Arizona, consuming about 74 percent of the available water supply. In the past, this percentage was as high as 90 percent; reductions have been the result of both urbanization of agricultural lands and heavy investment by the irrigated agriculture industry in conservation measures both on-farm and in delivery systems.

The weird thing is that they just don't seem to care about improving it. WhisperX can process my speech just fine, but Google assistant can't. That's the lowest bar to clear and they don't need to invent any new tech for it - there's a number of solutions ready to go right now.
Telling my Pixel 8's assistant to "set an alarm for 10 minutes" fails when it's not connected to the internet (after spinning for a few seconds.) That's crazy to me. I thought offline voice for basic things was working back in the Nexus days.

I travel a lot and often find myself in areas with poor or no connectivity, and things "get a little freaky" in those scenarios. Even things like Google Maps (which has downloaded/offline mode) often fail or spin for 30 seconds. I think Google/Android engineers don't test these scenarios enough (or at all), and they're usually bathed in perfect connections.

Even hydrogen is competitive here. IMO, more competitive than that battery chemistry on the article.
I had the Pixel 6 Pro and everything was amazing... except for signal and battery. Which are two of the most important things in a phone.

The battery was quite bad from the very beginning, barely lasting a day of normal usage, but I thought "well, at least they seem to have taken lots of care to avoid battery aging - slower charging than other phones, intelligent charging speed, etc. - so it won't degrade much". Two years later it wasn't even making it to 6 PM, or 3-4 PM on heavy use days (such as trips). OTOH my previous phone (Huawei P30 Pro), with much faster charge and no "intelligent" anything, still has amazing battery after more than 5 years of use (now in my wife's hands).

That was my first and last Pixel. A pity because the software was amazing, but that's no use if you operate under constant battery anxiety and can't even use Google Maps and camera on a trip without spending hours charging at the hotel.
Can you describe an occurence or two like this?
Is temporary. On their native areas they allow trees to grow, then the trees eventually grow over the bramble, take the place and blackberries leave. lots of animals big and small find refuge on those places. Is more a cure than a choke [on their native areas I repeat]. I hate to be attacked by the plant, but their utility for birds, insects and mammals can't be denied.

But If you want 'blackberries' on East USA the correct way is to use the totally equivalent black raspberry Rubus occidentalis that is an USA native, not so tall and has several good selections available. Look for Munger, Jewel or Blackhawk for example in your plant nursery. Easy fix and easier to harvest clean as it detaches from the peduncle.
I have one counter point for you:

HTML

If we adopted standards instead of making walled gardens, things would work. If the onus was on Apple and Google to make their platforms standards compliant, and that the egg would be on their face if they didn't, they would be the ones doing the rigorous testing, bug fixing, and optimization.

If Microsoft can make their platform work for 20+ years of software, Apple and Google can be on the hook for HTML, WASM, and a standardized UI and hardware abstraction layer.
I wonder if using something like Retinol, which is proven to improve skin and make it look tighter, younger, and get rid of blemishes, marks, and sun damage, could be paired with Ozempic to keep skin more healthy along with a good skin routine?

Keep in mind that the FDA defines serving size:

The term serving or serving size means an amount of food customarily consumed per eating occasion by persons 4 years of age or older which is expressed in a common household measure that is appropriate to the food.

This means manufacturer's are free to make serving sizes based on how little a hypothetical four year old child might eat in theory. There aren't any substantial penalties for inaccuracy. There can be substantial incentives for optimistic labeling.

Delving through another corpus I ran across this, by chance, which immediately reminded me of Colin's submission:

Language Vs. Reality: Why Language Is Good for Lawyers and Bad for Scientists

N. J. Enfield, Mar 23, 2022, MIT PRESS 2022

Nick Enfield’s book, Language vs. Reality: Why Language is Good for Lawyers and Bad for Scientists (MIT Press, 2022), argues that language is primarily for social coordination, not precisely transferring thoughts from one person to another. Drawing on empirical research, Enfield shows that human lexicons the world over are far more coarse-grained than our perceptual faculties. Yet, at the same time, languages vary in the structure and sophistication of their representations. This means that, for instance, how different languages carve up the world influences not only how their speakers talk about the world, but also how they think about it. The book explores a range of linguistic phenomena, from lexical diversity to linguistic framing to the effects of narrative. As a result of understanding how language shapes our understanding of reality, Enfield argues that we can make more informed—and more ethical—decisions about our own language use, as individuals and communities.

On the New Books Network: <https://newbooksnetwork.com/language-vs-reality>

Audio: <https://traffic.megaphone.fm/NBN2798566261.mp3> (MP3)

Enfield's key point is that language is useful for social coordination. Numbers ... for quantification.

> people unacquainted with biology have a false perception of how low-throughput biology experimentation is. In many ways, it can be. But the underlying physics of microbiology lends itself very well to experiments that could allow one to collect tens-of-thousands, if not millions, of measurements in a singular experiment. It just needs to be cleverly set up.

I think this passage gets to the fundamental rift of disagreement in perspective between those focused purely on computational advances versus innovating in wet lab techniques.

Why? Because years of peoples' careers have been wasted waiting on promises from molecular biologists claiming they will make these "clever" high-throughput experiments work. In my experience, they'll spend months to years concocting a Rube Goldberg machine of chained molecular biology steps, each of which has (at best) a 90% success rate. You don't have to chain many of these together before your "clever" setup has a ~0% probability of successfully gathering data.

Ask HN: How to contact businesses for B2B products
I'm a frontend software engineer with 11 years experience. I worked with corporate companies from services, products, businesses.

Being an engineer I earned certain skills and I can spot and solve money and time expensive Tech.

This applies to companies relying on conputer user interfaces for their businesses.

How do I approach businesses ?

Last year during may I read news about adove figma acquisition update. I found two email from adobe investor relations and sent an email elaborating why such amount of money for a design Tech isn't a balance.
While I read news last year end that figma adobe deal didn't go through, I have a hunch it could have been because of my email.

Is there a way I could do such evaluation of Tech products to businesses as a external party?
Shouldn’t this say “surface water”?
Agreed, home is always in the center. My comment is regarding whether "back" is left or right of home. Samsung defaults it on the right side, everybody else puts it on the left: https://www.androidcentral.com/how-switch-position-navigatio...

Recent android versions have put more of this in the the hands of the app, for better or worse. So it's not especially material nowadays.

My point is just that it's an example of Samsung making design decisions which leverage the fragmentation to create confusion among the users.

I noticed it when my boss said that non-galaxy devices feel awkward. I ended up using his phone later and realized why: vendor lock in through muscle memory. It's the kind of monopolistic move that only the largest fragment can benefit from--anyone else puts themselves at a disadvantage by departing from Android defaults. But Samsung, since they control the majority, can bias the market in a way that makes the defaults feel weird. It's rather Apple-like if you ask me.

... which is why I use a Pixel. I hate Google, but they're what I'm stuck with, so I might as well not be messed with by anyone else.

I don't think this is true, regarding federal law precedence and the Constitution. To be true would be to imply that the Senate, with the cooperation of the executive and one other country(?!), can override the Constitution.

You don't have to get there axiomatically though; you can just look this up. Treaties are coequal with federal statutes, and are overridden by any conflicting statute passed after the treaty is ratified.

A Brief History of the Pull Request (2023)

The Starlark spec discusses this, and I consulted it before I wrote my comment.

> It is a dynamic error for a function to call itself or another function value with the same declaration.

> This rule, combined with the invariant that all loops are iterations over finite sequences, implies that Starlark programs are not Turing-complete. However, an implementation may allow clients to disable this check, allowing unbounded recursion.

https://github.com/bazelbuild/starlark/blob/master/spec.md

I do kind of agree with you about this, though:

> At that point, just give your users a `while` loop for usability's sake.

I'm generally in favor of powerful, purpose-built configuration languages, including Turing-complete ones. And the goal of assuring users that their programs will terminate at all is definitely aligned with a fuzzier goal, less formalizable, that their programs will terminate in a 'reasonable' period of time, whatever that means.
Flow batteries have some fantastic properties. Their energy output and capacity can be scaled independently. They are safer and can be made from material that are easier to source.

They are also have high upfront costs and poor energy density, so there have not been much application outside of grid-scale deployments. Getting something practical for onsite commercial, residential, and vehicular applications have been something aggressively pursued. (Solid-state batteries being another battery tech that is also pursued).

So for someone to make a open-source DIY flow battery that can scale well can change a lot of things.

There hasn’t been another mass shooting on the strip in the following 7 years and this policy makes the scale much harder to replicate. I don’t know if this policy is responsible or what else is being done but to dismiss it as security theater seems too easy. If it is a deterrent, it is working and if it limits the scale of a future attack as mentioned I understand the policy.
I made a YC interview practice AI with voice
Hey HN,

I'm a bootstrapped founder, and this is the sixth startup/project I've launched.

I previously built a voice interview practice bot for a friend, and with many people applying for YC’s fall batch, I decided to create a custom version specifically tailored for YC interviews.

You can enter your startup name, describe what it does, and choose to be interviewed by Dalton, Seibel, or PG. The bot conducts a 10-question interview based on the requirements YC is looking for.

I'd love to get some feedback and hope and hope it helps people lower their nerves on interviewing for YC.

Show HN: My web-based screen recording tool with interactive features
Hey HN! I'm excited to share my new project: a web-based screen recording tool with some cool interactive features.

I've always loved what Screen Studio does for desktop, and I wanted to bring something similar to the web while adding my own twist. The core idea is to make product demos and walkthroughs more engaging and flexible.

Some key features:

Click-to-pause interaction: Viewers can pause the demo at each click, or watch it straight through. Gives people control over the pace.

Animated popovers: These pop up at key moments to explain features or highlight pain points you're solving.
AI voiceovers: You can add narration to your demos using some pretty impressive synthetic voices.

Smart focus & animations: auto-zoom on important areas, smooth transitions, etc.
Customization: Lots of options to match your brand - margins, rounded corners, backgrounds.

Forgive the .ai in the name for now - I do have several innovative AI-based features in the works including automatic animation placement and automatic popover text generation.

It's free right now while it is in beta. I'm looking to recruit beta testers who are down to provide feedback and feature requests.

I built this because I was frustrated with how static most product demos feel. Would love to hear what you all think, especially:

Any crucial features I'm missing?

Thoughts on web-based vs. desktop for this kind of tool?

Ideas for making demos even more interactive?

Happy to answer any questions about the tech stack, challenges I ran into, or really anything else. Thanks for checking it out!
Unless they are charged they are no different from any other component.

Capacitors can keep their charge for a long time, especially big ones. But you can discharge them by trying to run the device when it’s not plugged in or waiting a few minutes/hours/days.
For some bands, the opportunity for abuse is low because it's only allowed to be used at low power or for voice or other limitations that don't scale up much. But cellphone data has more demand than the spectrum can provide. If they didn't charge users, some people would try to hog all of it and ruin it for everyone. Same goes for broadcast radio transmission. Access has to be restricted somehow. If not by payment, then probably something that makes less efficient use of it like non-transferrable first-in-first-served or lottery.

Requiring Chrome and the search widget to be uninstallable on Android in exchange for access to the GMail app is definitely a step too far, straight out of Microsoft's playbook.

At least Android allows sideloading apps though. We know that privacy permissions can be done correctly at the OS/Api level, even web browsers do it. It's crazy that Apple can be complicit in enabling Google's search monopoly and face no repercussions for it's app distribution monopoly.

No, $28 not a large amount to spend on coffee. That's a McDonald's medium coffee 3.5 days a week. How is that a lot to spend on coffee? That's just silly.

No. Look, I'm not happy to pay more, but YT is really great. It's completely obviated the need to watch broadcast or cable TV for me (yes I know, sports...). They haven't enshittified it at all, and since I'm a music lover, I love that they include YT music (although I sorely miss its predecessor). There is the sum-of-human-knowledge and then some !! on youtube. it's absolutely worth what they charge. In fact, I dont know how they can even order enough storage to keep the thing running. tl;dr the features and content has grown proportionately with the price increase.
It's strange how there is almost never a shortcut to anything. Like a universal law.

So now you might get free weight loss without making any effort at all, but you'll also look older in the process?

I have to say, my father has been taking it, and I noticed that he does look older all of a sudden...and his weight loss also plateaued. I thought it was just my imagination, but maybe not.
The relevant quote I saw was this:

"These are changes he hasn’t noticed in patients who have lost significant weight in other ways—like through diet or gastric bypass surgery—which makes him think it’s unique to GLP-1 usage."

Are you suggesting sections elsewhere in the article suggest otherwise?
