It seems to me that maybe the most efficient course forward, is to spend $0 on computation and just beef up the telecom and pay for a real full-time human driver (not just for tricky situations) in a low labor cost market.

I'm a long-time user of apt-cacher-ng, but reading this reminds me of some of the pain points I regularly experience. Maybe others have some thoughts.

It would be nice if my Docker image builds, which may include apt-get steps, could benefit from the cache. I know Docker build will cache layers itself, but this doesn't check the upstream for fresher packages in the same way that could be done with HTTP caching. I know I could simply set the Acquire::http::Proxy in the Dockerfile, but then I've mixed local infrastructure concerns into a Dockerfile that should be generically usable by anyone, anywhere. It would be great if there were some way to inject these site-specific configurations into the image without tampering with the Dockerfile. This could be tricky, since the base image of any random Docker image isn't even guaranteed to be Debian. (Although I could imagine a very generic Bourne shell script that consumes /etc/os-release, if present, and performs any distro-specific customization.) This would also solve the similar problem of needing to inject site-specific trusted enterprise CA certificates into images.

Another pain point is the lack of HTTPS caching, which the author mentions. I'm not sure that dropping down to plain HTTP is the solution. I sometimes wonder if there could be a MitM proxy approach, where the cache presents a certificate for the remote hostname that is trusted by a CA certificate installed on the client. (In other words, something similar to what a Zscaler does to intercept HTTPS.)

You can get very close to that by locking your iPad down and setting it in kiosk mode.

If you use Apple Configurator, you can even have it boot into a single app. See https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/apple-configurator-mac...

I have both iPad Air with Paperlike cover and a Boox Note 3C... and the Boox with its color eInk and Wacom pen is SO MUCH nicer to write on and read that it's really not comparable.

Also paperlike film for iPad significantly degrades the screen, making it darker and grainy. It's still a better all-around device, but its really not as good as these eInk tablets for writing.
Fascinating. I had no idea.
In Spain they're called Autodefinidos: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autodefinido
That’s interesting that it didn’t change the performance. It might still reduce cost (CPU vs GPU’s) when pages have a lot of formatting.
129,800 JPY to get one to Japan, vs $749 USD in the US. So just by paying in JPY, I am paying $895.10, so $146.10 more. What gives? That's VERY expensive
Would be interesting to hear from someone who has compared this and https://daylightcomputer.com/
This is reallyyyy well done, mate! Thank you for sharing it with the world.

Why are you under the pretence I don’t know the difference? I clearly know the difference.

I’m discussing the ergonomics of the API and its resulting DX.

Sigh, I wish people put some effort into actually reading the thing before posting opinions.
It's funny, I would have thought that OCR on handwriting on a tablet would be great, because they can capture each individual stroke, rather than just the final pixelated product. In other words, because you're witnessing it being written, there's a lot more information. In fact I wouldn't even call it OCR because it's not "optical", but rather "stroke" -- SCR?

Is that something that exists? Is that what the tablet tries to do and fails? Or is it only trying to OCR after-the-fact, in which case I'm not surprised it's terrible.
I heard this as well. There is a recycling plant that you need to run anyway to separate the waste/rubbish so you might as well use it to get the plastics and cans out. I think there is an argument that while the machine can do it well avoiding the machine does have benefits.
This also doesn't work for paper or cardboard as it would get soiled from what I understand.

If they're all in the same region create a load balancer e.g. ALB and run all the projects through it. It's 1 IP for those 10-20 projects.
This sounds totally nuts. I guess I’m happy to be running a laptop where when I close the lid, it will sleep and have battery when I open the lid, in an hour or in 2 days. I thought that was the basic requirement for being a laptop? The essential feature. It’s so surprising to hear things have gone backwards in the Windows world.

My suggestion to anyone dealing with annoying power management is to get a MacBook Pro (you can get tons of ram, we are ordering 96gb models for our engineers) and run your preferred OS in a full screen VM if you don’t like MacOS. I did this for years because I don’t trust Linux to manage battery or reliably pair with Bluetooth devices (especially Bluetooth audio), but I much preferred Linux window management and access to Docker.

Parallels runs Windows quite well, and either that, Virtualbox, or the various apps that are thin layers over the system Hypervisor.framework all do the trick.
Can it be used completely offline, without an account, etc?
tau-coder produces about 10% smaller output for the same VMAF quality, compared to jpegli. The above evaluation link contains evaluation directly against jpegli
E-Inks official specs list the color refresh time as 0.5ms in fast mode, 1 second in standard mode or 1.5 seconds in quality mode. That sounds like it could get annoying when reading full color content (e.g. comics).

At least it's an improvement from Gallery 2 which took 10 seconds to refresh in color mode, no wonder hardly anything ever used that generation...

Sounds good!

>"The routine could maintain a path from root pointer to object (easily done on the recursion stack) so that it's reported along with matches."

Yes, it definitely could!

For extra points (if the additional functionality is desired!), also create an API interface for this functionality for coding AI's, present and future, such that they can also perform this form of grepping automatically when needed, for example, when running/debugging a program they wrote, or are assisting a programmer with making changes to...

(Observation: There seem to emerge two different main patterns with respect to variable inspection... One is to set a watchpoint on a variable and stop the program when the variable changes.

Another would be to globally scan all variables (i.e. grep) at specific intervals (a form of a batch pattern) for specific strings/values, and all of that would be/could be -- settable by the programmer and/or an AI...)

Anyway, your idea is a good one!
Well exactly as expected a colour e-Ink version of Remarkable and a much larger internal storage (64GB) instead of the very low 8GB non-upgradeable storage.

Given it now has Colour e-ink as I said before [0], I will buy one right now.

Show HN: Chat with Sonnet/GPT4o directly on pull requests in GitHub
Today, we are excited to introduce the PR-Agent Chrome Extension,
allowing any developer to chat with AI directly on pull requests in GitHub,
powered by top code models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT4!

The extension allows both a private chat on 'changed files', as well as running more than a dozen tailored powerful commands in the 'conversation' tab via the comments interface.

You can find more details about the hashtag PR-Agent Chrome Extension in the documentation here:
https://pr-agent-docs.codium.ai/chrome-extension/

The docs include information about the main capabilities, features, and more.

And you can find the PR-Agent open-source (!!) project here:
https://github.com/Codium-ai/pr-agent

The idea behind this project:
We believe AI should meet us developers when and where we need it. E.g., we review PRs on GitHub (or other git platforms), and we would like to be able to have a capable chat inside the PR interface.

PR-Agent has various well-engineered flows to collect relevant context when you ask questions and run commands.

Looks nice to use to write a note, but horrible to use to store/access existing notes. The file browser should recognise the low refresh rate and use something like column view in Finder, rather than a new window when going 'into' a folder.
It has nothing to do with alcohol though. Unfiltered and unpasteurized weak beer will go bad in a few days even if you have a fridge.

It was boiling that kills the bacteria and people knew that it improved the “quality” of water that wasn’t safe to drink.

I wonder if people in a few hundred years will think that we drank so much coke/etc. because tap water was dirty an polluted with lead. Because that sounds about as silly as this myth..
Hi, author here. I just tried on firefox on android and it looks ok to me. What kind of adblock extension are you running?

Update: found it, it was a bug caused by ublock origin. Should be fixed now.
Yeah... New product looks fantastic, but finding your notes will still be a pain. You have to be diligently organized with folders and notebooks to find anything.
10% VAT covers half of it. Possibly tariffs are responsible for some of it, or the difference could be due to strength differences of JPY, USD, and NOK since it's a Norwegian company.
I always found most of PKD’s short stories quite excellent, but all of his full-length books that I have read have been a slog. It’s quite telling that almost all of the movies based on his works have been based on his short stories, not novels.

Therefore, I always recommend that people start reading his short stories, and avoid his books. See also: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8805118>
Looks neat, but not being able to do something as simple as backup and sync without a monthly subscription makes this whole ecosystem a no go for me. Especially for a device that already costs $600-800.
If convenient could you link to such?
if it would work correctly it's acctually a grate UX boon for the user

basically you don't block any bandwidth while a user is using the computer and instead when they are not

also you download slower (less bandwidth) in the background because you have much more time available to download it (like e.g. the whole night)

this feature is also only about downloads, that windows tends to force apply updates once they are downloaded is a different unrelated issue altogether

so theoretically especially for laptops which are only used idk. 1-2h max a day for people with not so fast internet this could be grate

could because it isn't, due to implementation details

e.g. you would only want to run this if you are: plugged in (power), the internet is reliable (at least as reliable as "normally" for any given network) etc.

but AFIK it doesn't really detect changes in power status, doesn't detect bad natwork conditions (which can lead to increased power use), and probably doesn't use "intentional slow" download either

you also can't opt out

so yeah it seems shit with how it's implemented -- but the idea by itself isn't bad

Is it really a theory rather than a hypothesis or mere speculation?
Because of the increased attack surface and maintenance burden. Which is totally understandable. But JPEG-XL should really be supported...
From Ghosted to Glowing: Recycle GitHub Interview Assignments into Job Offers
I have a daily / weekly folder for things I check regularly. A folder for streaming/media. One for each of my hobbies, one for "random" which is everything I might want to reference later, but doesn't fit.

When I see something interesting, I just slap it in the root of the bookmarks bar. Every week or two, I re-visit those and either categorize them or delete them. A few times a year, I look at the random folder and decide if I still care about the content and either leave it or delete it. After all, if you don't keep coming back to it, you don't need to have bookmarked it.

There was absolutely no reason Pinia couldn’t have been Vuex 5.

I raised that point more than once and was always given the lamest reason for it.

They believed people would be “too confused” with the breaking changes in the new API.

This was always a dumb explanation. That’s what major versions are for - breaking changes. Of course upgrading from Vuex 4 to 5 would involve refactoring code.

Pinia is of course mush better and has real types. But they did themselves a huge disservice by not making that Vuex 5. That lack of focus on cohesive framework options and senseless deprecation of already established libraries is the major problem.
If this does what it says it does I'll be a very happy user. Playing RPGs 'together' with somebody over the internet isn't that much fun if they are a second or more behind in what's going on. I've actually looked for a solution to this problem (low-latency P2P streaming) quite some time ago, and couldn't get it to work with just OBS because of strange bugs and other issues, so I really appreciate you including this use-case :)
How much does the "Connect Subscription" cost?

How well does the machine work w/o it?

When will someone else make a device with this display? (I'm looking at you Amazon)

Could we get this display in a larger size on a general-purpose tablet w/ stylus? (I still haven't found a replacement for my Fujitsu Stylistic ST-4110 and its daylight viewable transflective display)

A smaller size for a cell phone? (with a stylus please)

How about a dual-screen device like to the Lenovo Yogabook which had an e-ink display for the lower half which would toggle between keyboard and other uses?
Everything about security / auth sucks in this age.

Each time I go down this path with either work or personal stuff it's just people changing passwords all the time / having to re-login all the time ... there's no happy path without a huge hassle.
Solitary confinement is used in many other cases where people are not even convicted yet. If it was considered a right for the incarcerated to not be in solitary confinement, then it would be illegal to put someone in solitary confinement for refusing to work.

I can't have any job I want either, nobody can. Criminals are not entitled to free room and board just because they have injured society. Criminals are not the victims, they are the criminals. They should pay for room and board and make restitution to society.
I used to have a similar problem, so I decided to move to go through my bookmarks every couple of months and delete any that I haven't used since I last checked them. I now have about 20 bookmarks that get used regularly and anything else I'll just search for again.
The main issue I had with my Remarkable 1 was that I couldn't quickly scroll through pages of e-books. If I was looking for something specific in the pages, an ipad allows me to swipe across rapidly. Remarkable was this tedious repeated button press, waiting each time for the screen to refresh. Had to go back to ipad although I loved the device.
It's only less than 1W for the CPU, the total consumption is 7.2W at idle because the screen is going to suck power no matter what. Per the table at the end.

Existing Intel Meteor Lake CPU in laptops already draw anywhere from 4W to 11W idle (That's CPU + screen in benchmarks).

Keeping VPN connections alive could be beneficial. Most current laptops do not have cellular modem though so they will have no internet connection while being transported. VPN will therefore stop working anyway. In fact the entire laptop will stop working when it overheats in the bag.
If you've been watching logs the past few years, you know that LLM data scrapers care less about robot directives than the scummiest of scraper bots of yore.

Your choices are: 1) give up 2) spend your days trying to detect and block agents and IPs that are known LLMs 3) try to spoil the pot with generated junk or 4) make it easier for them to scrape

1) is the easiest and frankly - not to be nihilistic - the only logical move
I recall making a map of my high school in Duke Nukem 3D well before Columbine. I think the only reason was it was the closest floorplan I had readily available at the time and I had no Internet access. I was more interested in playing with the Build engine/map editor than actually shooting things.
Apple newton did it. They required you to stroke your letters in a pedantically correct way because it used the stroke path, not the end pixel appearance, to detect letters.

Show HN: FortisAI – Barbell Velocity Tracker App
Howdy folks,

I've been working on an app to solve some problems I've had as a powerlifter:

- trimming videos

- estimating RPEs

- workout tracking specifically tailored for powerlifting

And so I built [FortisAI](https://www.fortisai.app/)!

It was built with all of the above in mind, and utilizes computer vision to extrapolate velocity from your videos, and give you fine-tuned RPE estimates based on your own velocity numbers.

It's still in the early stages, and I have a ton of features I'd like to add. If you're interested in this kind of thing, or want some say on the direction of this app I would love your feedback.

It's available for download on both iOS and Android via the link above. I also created a [Discord](https://discord.gg/wSC9FbJgzn) for discussion around the app, so feel free to join if you're interested.

Thanks!
Seems like they've improved the processor (at least the latency is lower) and that might help to add new features or improve pdf responsiveness, but they're still lacking on the software side, and even simple QOL features like the ones that rmhacks adds aren't available by default.

I feel like it falls short on the reading side (not searching, dictionary, note management...), and short on the notes side (simple drawing tools, no dashed lines, no shapes, and I think you can't even position text on the wherever you like on the page).

I really liked the initial hackability, as you have SSH access to the Linux inside the device, and people was building software to run on it, but seems like due to some changes since v3.4 of the firmware, it's either very difficult (or not possible) to do it, and the ideas I had for using it aren't feasible right now.

The price for the color model is (at least in Europe) already higher than a Boox Note Air3C, that's a full fledged Android tablet. Of course, the battery won't last as long even with all the optimizations, but is a bit lighter, has more resolution, and you can put whatever software you like that runs in Android. I haven't tested the software, though...

TLDR: not sure about this :(
