This time it might be different. Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are all terminally enshittified with no hope for reversal. A social media service that makes enshittification a technical impossibility has a lot of appeal in this context.

This is unsurprising, Japanese and English culture are incredibly different, with the former being far more (outwardly) respectful of each other and of the belief that you don’t rock the boat.
> Trump has said openly that he will support EVs

Source?

Recent news says otherwise.

Twitter has value beyond its market cap, in the same way that a newspaper does. For the ~richest man in the world, dollars don’t mean a lot.
> totally unaware of the possibility this could happen.

A rare human would easily admit their mistakes. Especially when their career and money and power is at stake.
> Extra miles don't earn Tesla additional revenue.

They do when they run a charging network.

Also, it's easier to sell an electric car to someone who is going to put a lot of miles on it because of the lower cost per mile, and does more good if the goal is to reduce CO2.

> do you believe that Elon's actions are motivated by the desire to reduce gas emissions in red states, or is this more of a thought experiment?

It's a counterpoint to the notion that progressives who live in cities and ride mass transit are the people the CEO of a car company has to appeal to. Whether the goal is to make more cars electric or just to sell more cars.

> My hot take is that his frustrations with Covid lockdowns in California kicked his animus toward Democratic party politicians into high gear.

That's probably not irrelevant.

The problem with politics right now is that everyone sucks and instead of trying to do better they all just want to tell you that the other side sucks worse, which causes aggressive polarization when most people are only listening to one side's pundits or the other. Everyone is being told that they need to vote against the enemy without ever being told what they're voting for.

People (Musk not excluded) then end up in one bubble or the other and the people in the other bubble are obliged to hate them out of tribal loyalty. Which especially rubs people the wrong way when it's someone who isn't squarely in one tribe or another.

Nobody blinks an eye when a Texas oil billionaire takes the conservative position on some issue.
> but it does also mean that you don’t support a society where ideas can be discussed.

No, it does not. Not buying something from someone does nothing to impede their right to free speech.
I am very confident in this prediction too.

Reminding these soulless demons on X of this inescapable fact is extremely entertaining. In addition, it's good to remind them:

Corporate journalists are the enemy of the people, and the enemy deserves everything that happens to it.
It's a pollution thing, whether that's from industrial plants, cigarettes, or fireplaces.

Mr. Musk is free to discuss whatever he wants to. I am free to spend my money like I want to. That’s a part of being in a democracy.

And your argument applies to the right-wing when it comes to left ideology as well. Like the Bud Light boycott.
I don't agree with the violence but it's also pretty low to paint this as being "'cause of a gadget", it's about the right and expectation of privacy... very different than "just a gadget"

Our previous apartment was listed under the wrong postcode. Annoying for Uber Eats because they would get lost.

Our current building is one of those 56-66 style buildings. Different service use a different number (e.g. postal is 56, gas is 58). We've had a few cases where our address doesn't match so the system rejects us. And when I vote I have to read which number they have upside down!

That’s not how it works.

We all pay more [sic] so data centers would be over provisioned, allowing quickly expansion when we need it. I’ve been in a few incident that were root caused to a cloud provider lacking capacity to provision more instances.

As that over capacity would’ve been bought and installed in the cloud provider’s data centers regardless of the errors that are being forgiven, not billing for those errors is a net gain to the provider, at minuscule cost, if at all, to other users.

> But also, "misgendering people" is a point of political dispute. "We prohibited the opposition's politics and then banned them for it" is in fact what they're objecting to.

You’re omitting that they had to make targeted attacks to be banned. You could talk in the abstract all day, as so many did, and never have a problem - it was only when they started targeting specific people who didn’t consent to some kind of debate. This is like going into a gay bar, yelling in some dude’s face that homosexuals are going to hell, and then whining about oppression when the bouncer tells you to leave.
For me nothing. I can already torrent a full 4k movie in under 10 minutes with my current connection, which is plenty fast. If everyone else had 1Tb and I could get a movie in 20 seconds or something, okay, fine. That would be kind of neat, I guess, but it wouldn't really be that big of an improvement to my overall life. My vision isn't good enough to appreciate the difference between 4k and 8k, so I wouldn't download 8k versions even if they were available. I'd consider that a waste of disk space.

I might start paying for streaming movies if services would fully buffer an artifact-free copy of the movie on my media player before starting to play the content. I don't think they'd do that though even if I had infinite bandwidth to my house. To save bandwidth and storage costs on their end they're going to continue to enshittify the streams to whatever generally-tolerable trickle people won't cancel a subscription over.

My Zoom calls would be the same. 75% of the people in Zoom calls keep their camera off anyway and hardly ever say anything, so the extra bandwidth wouldn't matter for work.

I generally will continue to avoid any Internet of Shit devices or privacy-ravishing Cloud services, so having extra bandwidth wouldn't impact my propensity to use any of that stuff.

I don't know. I guess I'm not creative enough or prone to use Cloud anything to imagine how my life would get better with 1000x more bandwidth. Maybe some startup would come up with something that would be the next "iPhone moment."
Would you recommend any of these as "must try"? (I'm going to be in Yokohama in October for the YIS centennial anniversary.)
They verified by checking that the AirPods paired with the owners phone.
I assure you the 4chan content pipeline has increased an order of magnitude since the Musk takeover. A comment thread on an Elon post will consistently have multiple posts with >100k views containing slurs or "jews bad Hitler good" accounts.
I wonder if the non-matches replied and how.
I care. I'm sure Musk cares. I'm sure the private investors care. I'm sure the 500M+ paying users of X care.

You should be genuinely embarrassed at your brain dead and stupid reply.

We can only have intelligent discussion here if you're willing to. Dismissing the conversation so severely suggests you're a liar, propagandist, demon, and/or retard (possibly, all of the above) acting in bad faith.

The onus is on you to demonstrate the ad hominem fallacy here, not me. If you can't even imagine a world where the owner of X cares, you're so disconnected from reality that derision the only means of bring you back down to Earth. The bar cannot be any lower.

I can see why the elite view people like you as slaves.
Not quite. Tesla's mission is to do what its voting shareholders want. Usually, shareholders want to maximize their returns, but Tesla's shareholders voted to reduce their returns to overpay Musk for work already done.
I mean, possibly, but I feel like a lot of HN needs to hear the message that people with disabilities use the web. :)
It might not be a good idea to use Dev Patel's image on your front page.
This is awesome! I have been thinking about what I'd want in an open source product after feeling unhappy trying to mess around with Bluetooth devices and overriding the assistant on an Android.

I really think an open source experience is going to be the only way this specific area will advance (wearable voice assistants). Apple/Google/Amazon are always going to very conventional in how they think about the purpose of their products, how personalized they can be, how much they can be expected to understand the user.

Looking at the Apple prompts, it's notable how uninteresting they are. There is no real theory of function, no sense of relationship or roles. They are just letting that all default to some unspecified common sense (as found in the model), handling only the surface level of these interactions. And they don't appear to bake that into the model because that wouldn't be enough, because those deeper interactions require state that seems pretty clearly to not be specified. Anyway, I'm really going off on a prompting tangent.

I think there is _really_ deep stuff people could be creating using these building blocks. The kinds of developments that are a synthesis of modified personal behavior and the tools provided. A tool this powerful is being wasted (theoretically and right now in actuality) if you don't modify behavior when using it. But that's a terrible way to make a commercial product, you can't expect people to change for you. And so they create these very bland experiences that are the projection of their current apps onto a voice or AI interface.

And they aren't wrong to take this conservative approach... it's very boring but very rational. I think this is a particularly opportune moment for people with their own very personal and specific ideas about how integrate AI into a particular part of their life to try to actually build that experience, with an authentic goal of just improving their own life. An open source stack makes that possible... including the device, because Google and Apple just won't let you use a phone that way.

So this is very exciting! My dev kit is ordered, and I await it eagerly

Without discussing nuance the question isnt meaningful. The answer to "can X be sued for Y" is always yes.
he also disowned his daughter and treats her terribly, and generally supports pretty evil right wing personalities like chaya raichik. lots of reasons to dislike the man.
This appears to be downvoted, but why? I'd like to see the counterargument that we need to put each executive, author, director, or artist through a purity test before we can appreciate or purchase their work. How about listing a few pure American car CEOs.

Consumers are free to make choices based on anything they want: but whining in public about how some tweets affect your opinion on a car is not the same thing as privately making choices. This subject was opened for discussion and it remains open.
You don’t need a smart phone either. “Need” is the wrong verb when talking about consumer electronics.
Ask HN: Struggle with project ideas? Heres some novel ideas you can build now
Hey HN I love thinking of ideas, I do it almost all day everyday - and I'd love to share some with the community rather than hold them close to my chest. I'm trying to be more open-minded, and giving, rather than always taking.

-----BROWSER EXTENSIONS-----

1) Natural language browser commands:

Develop a browser extension that allows users to input natural text or voice commands, with immediate outcomes. The commands are passed to an LLM which determines what the user wants and runs the correct pre-configured browser APIS. I've already tested a prototype and it works really well with Google Gemini Flash model. You just need to pass to the prompt a JSON mapping of keywords/commands to APIs. For example:

User: "Clear history"

LLM: <Runs pre-made clear history API>

Stack: TypeScript/JavaScript/Google Gemini API

2) Declutter Mini-map -

A browser extension that when activated on a webpage, adds a mini-map of the webpage to the dedicated chrome extension side-panel (a dedicated 320px wide screen area where chrome extensions can host their ui permanently). The mini-map is special in that it only features webpage "landmarks". Landmarks are groups of functionally related components that are physically near one another. Examples are headers, footers, content sidebars, video players, etc. The mini-map features solid rectangles representing the size and position of these landmarks. The user can then turn landmarks "on" and "off" by clicking on the landmark on the mini-map. Its basically a generalist webpage element hider/declutter-er

Stack: JavaScript/React

3) UI Copilot -

A browser extension that allows users to capture a screenshot of any portion of a webpage that is automatically sent to an LLM for generic UI design feedback.

Stack: JavaScript/Svelte/ChatGPT API

-----WEB APPS-----

4) Pinterest for developers

5) Extension Sandbox -

An in-browser sandbox, that allows you to try browser extensions before ever installing them.

6) Peer-to-peer whiteboard -

Miro, without the server and database. Whiteboard only stays up as long as users are using it

7) Self-hosted internet archive and bookmark repository

In the world of AI bloat, capture, record, and keep content that matters to you. Create a Browser extension that can screenshot and capture static web content, and intercept bookmarking.

All this content is funnelled to a companion self-hosted website that hosts all your saved content

AirPods are a bit pricey but cheap enough that I wouldn’t even bother reporting them lost to the local park authority. I doubt there’s much you can do besides a sign at the trailheads.
As an apparently excited user of this device, what do you think about the privacy concerns - both for the users themselves, but more importantly for people who interact with the users?
No, the point is that if the fund hasn't been sued for the past few decades of its existence for holding non-well known companies (or whatever your definition of "blue chip is"), they're probably not going to get sued for holding x holdings, inc.
wrong. it’s not political to disrespect someone’s identity. it’s the same as being racist. it wasn’t ok to support segregation, it’s not ok to support transphobia and banning medical care.
There was an app over a decade ago called Layar that used the camera, screen, and GPS for AR.

Yes, he did say he was contributing to a Trump PAC on his own Twitter: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1815911188024225967

I guess you just ran your own misinformation.
Given my experience, I don't think we all are. I've basically resigned myself to not being paid for accessibility work. Nowadays I refuse to work in toolchains that don't easily support accessibility (i.e. if Kivy is the frontend) because that tells me a) accessibility wasn't considered in tool choice, and b) I'm going to have to do a lot more unpaid work to follow my own conscience.

My AidPods Pro became unusable after ~2 years. NC had some overcorrection issue I guess, created this loud crackling sound when it tried to cancel out a noise.

There may be liability for Apple when that is inevitably abused.
Windows has 4K, 2M, and 1G page sizes on x86-64.
True, margins are very high for existing customers. And customer acquisition costs are very high as well.
What I'm seeing here is pretty typical of what I normally see with showdead turned on when on a topic that is vaguely political in nature (anything with Musk in the headline counts).
Choice is different than free will. We have will, but it is not free. We will make choices.

Sinclair effect in action: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."

Obviously, cloud providers are capable of billing. It's not unreasonable to expect them to offer, at minimum, "Look, we're not evaluating billing continuously but we might, at our option, try to shut down your services after $X and won't bill you excess of $Y" as a (optional) hard contractual term. Having a larger, well-capitalized party absorb risk on behalf of a smaller party for a fee is a business model humans know how to price. It's just not the desired "product".

Note that this doesn't even per se require any technical artifact to implement, just very primitive metering and lush margins.
Bravo! Now can we get rid of those dumb password entry fields that show you a typed character for 2 seconds, then convert it to a dot? With no option to "Show password"?

That's a practice that was maybe good in the days of large monitors with a large viewing angle, and large fonts. It might have been possible to shoulder surf back in the day, but now we have small screens with narrow fields of view that display tiny fonts, and are held less than a foot from your face. It's not possible to shoulder surf these days.
Eh, that's still just correlation across a state vector. Honestly, quantum entanglement is proof that the many worlds / simultaneous superposition interpretation of quantum mechanics is bollocks.

Really all QM says is that there's some probability distribution of an outcome, and you don't know what outcome occurred until you take a measurement.

For example, you could imagine a world simulator that uses probabilistic logic gates. Where with some probability a bit could be 0 or 1. Now you could say that the bit is in some superposition or is 0 in world A and 1 in world B, blah blah.

But that's dumb. Really, the bit is 0 or 1 with some probability of the universe simulator. And you don't know which, until you observe its value.
Not sure. The other environments felt just as real.

But lake, snow and fake moon felt sterile in comparison. There is something about being at the top of mountain with clouds and the sun rising on the horizon that hits different.

Well, as a startuper, most of the domains were startup ideas... However, none of those happened, so it turned into an investment that pays off in the long run, but it requires a big chunk of cash every year to fund the renewals.

I worry that domains are becoming irrelevant, but the reality proves me wrong - people still pay good money for good domains.

My point is that ICANN and the whole domain business should be disrupted. Similarly to cryptocurrencies, domains attack the wrong folk. Plus, most things about domains are daylight robbery, which the corrupt ICANN and the greedy registrars enable!

Look at the list of accredited registrars [0] - a handful of companies have hundreds or even thousands of entities because when a domain gets deleted, every registrar receives an equal chance of catching it for the aftermarket, and the more registrars you accredit, the better chance you get at catching dropped domains and selling it for tens, hundreds, and often thousands of dollars - something, which costs you less than $10!

In many cases, people have legitimate domains they use for email, and suddenly, due to billing errors, they lose them to find out that an investor has them. And then they need to bargain and pay thousands of dollars to get them back.

Most registrars have huge fees to redeem an expired domain before it gets deleted. Many somehow trick the ICANN rules and auction the domain before it's dropped.

Just imagine you being late on your phone bill, and your competitor or some "investor" gets it and gets all the incoming calls or blackmails you to sell it back to you.

So, ICANN needs to change as they are a bunch of crooks, paid under the table by domain marketplaces - I have zero doubt about it.

I got an excellent domain through some of these registrars many years ago. Guess what? I had no way to transfer it or renew it! The company was based in the Bahamas or some island and had no way to pay. They also never emailed me the EPP/auth code, so, I couldn't transfer it out either. I opened a case with ICANN, and they told me that this is a customer support issue and ICANN does not regulate such matters, so I need to deal with the registrar on my own! Now, I believe things are slightly better, but not much better!
