Show HN: A tool to analyze Hacker News sentiment on any term in seconds
Hi everyone, we developed a tool that can easily tell you the overall sentiment of a message based on a word. For now it’s hacker news only but we think this thing has potential.

Whether you’re a startup, solopreneur or product manager, you can track trends with it. We are also planning to add predictive tools and real time analysis. Operationally this tool is a lot cheaper than Sprout Social or other similar solutions on the market.

No sign-up required. Just type and see results.

I'd love your feedback on the tool's usefulness and any ideas for improvement.

I completely agree with the entire stack. I’ve basically been learning d3 for this exact reason - the primitives are so intuitive and I can tell I’ll be able to make what I want. And yeah streamlit is so close to being useful but just not quite there. But isn’t plotly built on d3?

If targeting Android people should first consider if their app can work as a PWA.

Try and do it. if you run into a deal breaking issue with PWA features, then wrap it in a minimalist app shell.

Best case: everything works on Android and iOS and it's also a website.

Worst case: you will end up doing some platform specific code and dealing with the app stores like you were going to do anyway.

Average Case:
everything will work on android and some things will be broken on iOS.
> I would argue the opposite: AirPods are a pure "client" device — they need to be connected to by something, they don't connect to something; and they have no display, input method, or other means to initiate/change Bluetooth pairing, if the state of the firmware somehow gets in a mucked-up state and they need to be flashed. The only possible way to recover broken AirPods is via tethered recovery.

Huh?

The charging case (which is an integral part of the system known as "Airpods") has a display (LED indicator) and an input method (a pushbutton).
Not exactly the same but I use my Steamdeck for this while I'm traveling. It's honestly pretty nice. Although carrying around an old M1 mac with Asahi Linux on it isn't that much of a hassle either.
This resonates with me. Maybe I’m just nostalgic because I started my career during the hacking scene of the early 2010’s, but it really feels like we’ve lost our way as an industry since then.

Plenty of stupidly successful and wealthy people have risen up by getting people to pay attention to them. Jobs, Bankman-Freid, Musk, and so many others found their success largely on cultivating their public image moreso than on their products.
But how good are these models compared to gpt4o? My last experience with llama2-8b was not great at all. Are there really that good models that would fit on an average consumer hardware (mine has already 32GB ram and 16GB vram)?
Training is one thing, but that feature to have AI help you with your LI posts seems psychotic. Generic generated slop for what exactly.
It depends purely on what you’re making.

It would be silly to write low-level software in Java, or high-level software (with exceptions for software which would require a low-level language) in C.
Is the first law of thermodynamics whatever we say it is? If that's how you want to phrase it, then again, this is a useless discussion. All you're really saying is that the literal English words and sentences we use to define something are human constructs. That's so obviously true.
I recently acquired an Android tablet (Lenovo M10 — a bit too cheap, but gets the job done).

I also got a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

The only thing that works properly is web apps. All the native apps have terrible keyboard and mouse support. It made me wonder if I'm the only person using it this way.

On that note the only GUI text editor (yes I'm learning Vim in Termux, no it's not a replacement for Sublime!) that's tolerable is VSCode running in the browser.

Surprisingly comfy in fullscreen, but the fact that's it's even necessary is just a testament to what a joke the whole ecosystem is.

3P app developers are also complicit. Often they deliberately cut off support for old OS's and old devices, because it's "too hard" to support them or whatever. Everyone seems to be working together to keep us on the hamster wheel.

Uh oh, downvotes from people who don't want to talk about actually solving this problem because it requires outing a particular group of people who want it to remain unsolved!

FTC's attention on non-competes in healthcare:

* https://www.sheppardhealthlaw.com/2024/04/articles/antitrust...

* https://gi.org/2024/05/03/ftc-finalizes-ban-on-non-competes/

For vertically integrated payer-providers pushing non-owned physicians out of their insurance networks, you need only read the quarterly filings or listen to investor calls for any of these entities. They brag about it as an efficiency gain.

Regarding rightwingers neutering interventions:

* The FTC vote on non-competes was precisely on party lines

* Obviously the Trump admin would not allow FTC (or anyone else) to go after vertical integration + expansive, market-degrading non-competes in healthcare

* There is no GOP proposal anywhere to solve this, nor is it mentioned in the GOP platform whatsoever

* Project 2025 explicitly says the FTC should have no authority to analyze vertical integration as an enforceable anti-competitive behavior

Yep. And any extra apps beyond the default just make upgrades go sideways. I've given up on it. Using syncthing instead (just for file syncing) and haven't looked back. It's not my favorite either, but just because it's a pain to configure. Once configured, it's been rock solid.

There is a subset of Rust that compiles fast, but it requires to avoid serde and crates that depends on syn, quote, proc-macro…

The issue is that macros and generics can generate tons of code under the hood.

Unfortunately some major parts of the rust ecosystem like serialization and async frameworks are dependent on these features..

Open Letter on the Visual Basic Strategy 2023
I wonder if this sort of thing is ultimately going to shrink the market share of Wordpress.

Drupal has a similar setup where the founder of the open source project also founded a company (Acquia) and took many $millions of investment. It created a lot of confusion in the market about what would be the terms of competition… how benevolent the open source “overlord” would remain.

As Acquia grew its footprint, I knew quite a few companies who diverted investment from Drupal into other CMS ecosystems. Ironically Wordpress was the beneficiary of a lot of that. Within a couple years every “Drupal agency” I was aware of was doing Wordpress too. And every “Drupal host” had expanded into Wordpress or general hosting. Look around… Drupal ain’t dead but it’s not spreading anymore either. I know there were other factors, but I also know Acquia was a factor, at least commercially.

Investors and entrepreneurs need a clear runway in front of them to feel comfortable making large investments. Matt seems to be planting himself in the Wordpress runway, at minimum as a gatekeeper and possibly as a straight-up obstacle. He’s trying to wear the open source hat as he does this, but everyone can see the Automattic hat too. Even if he is doing this with the best of intentions, I think it will not have a positive effect overall.
I'd also like to ask the question, more important to who?

To the economy? Yes, we all should endeavor to find that which will allow us to maximally contribute to our employers, and reduce participation in things we are not excellent at. But I would very much dread living in a world like that.

If the question is around what is important to ourselves, then I would argue that all of K-12 education is important. Every subject we are taught in school is vastly deep and interesting beyond what we can even imagine. Don't let a bad teacher scare you away from any subject, ever.

There are many things I am not particularly good at, which serve as great hobbies and outlets for myself. The reason I enjoy them so much is because they have no economic utility. Almost all of these subjects, I first encountered at a very young age, and almost certainly in a school setting.

The world is such an interesting place, I really hate seeing it reduced to the black-and-white of economic and employer utility.
The article starts with Sherry Turkle, who is a genius IMHO. She discusses transparent versus opaque, in terms of computers, and is quoted in the NY Times about it.

https://www.nytimes.com/1995/12/07/books/books-of-the-times-...

Ms. Turkle adds two computers to the list of test objects: two contrasting machines, the I.B.M. PC and the Macintosh. The former, she explains, was for users who wanted to see into "'the guts' of the machine." It was transparent and invited analysis.

"In contrast the 1984 introduction of the Macintosh's iconic style presented the public with simulations (the icons of file folders, a trash can, a desktop) that did nothing to suggest how their underlying structure could be known." It was opaque, and invited a belief in what William Gibson, in his novel "Neuromancer" (1984), termed "cyberspace." ...

One therefore pays close attention when she explains how the shift to postmodernism has been reflected in a new outlook on artificial intelligence. No longer are designers striving for an overarching theory of mind. More and more they see hope in computers that can learn, or what she terms "emergent A.I.," which, as she writes about it, accords with the fragmented, "decentered" self posited by postmodernism.

(If you're curious to know more about Dr. Turkle, this TED talk is good IMHO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtLVCpZIiNs)
I don’t disagree with the take, but it doesn’t seem sufficient either.

Even if you have developers that know better than to toss aside each other's linter rules and don’t rewrite each other's code in the name of “refactoring”, then if you still have people with differing views working on the codebase, its consistency over time will become less than more.

Whereas if developer A tries to be agreeable then more and more of the code will be written in the way of how developer B wants it to be written and that might make developer A’s life harder over time.
That's cool! Other people have had problems with it, and losing data is bad enough that it outweighs good experiences, even if they are a majority. So it's a good thing that people share their less positive experiences rather than just "it works fine for me", as one is more actionable than the other when we are discussing a "home cloud" solution.
No, macOS will just put quotes in the name. I just saved file from vscode as "testfile.sql", including the quotes, and wound up with a file named "testfile.sql".s.
> If you have children definitely more often the former than the latter. I think it's every 2-3 weeks in my case. That's also how my father would use his car and, coincidentally his father as well.

And of the couple dozen people that I know that have kids, precisely zero take regular 200km trips. Or 100km. Or 50km for that matter. And by "regular" I mean at least once a month: certainly on some holidays to visit family, but that is at most once a quarter.

I live in Toronto, Canada, and have neighbours with family all over southern Ontario (Windsor, London) as well as a some in the Maritimes. They regularly rent larger vehicles for trips (or fly there and rent/borrow).

> I did. Perhaps you shouldn't make assumptions about people's habits.

I made no assumptionsa about people's habits. I asked how often 200km occurred in general. In the US at least, 99.2% of trips are less than 150km, with 80% being less than 15km:

* https://evstatistics.com/2021/12/99-2-of-us-daily-trips-are-...

While 'road trips' do occur, they are the minority of events:

* https://www.utires.com/articles/road-trips-survey/

For most people, most of the time, considering 200km is a waste of time (using US data). That you just happen to perhaps be in the minority does not invalidate that: you are extrapolating a need to the general public from your personal experience which isn't statistically common and very anecdotal.
This advice is repeated constantly, and it’s taken as gospel.

If you / your team know what you’re doing, you can absolutely run your own stuff without it being a nightmare. I’ve worked at a 9-digit-ARR SaaS where we ran our own servers (as in, we owned physical servers, not a VPS), ran our own networks, etc. Everything was in IaC. There were shockingly few incidents compared to literally every other SaaS I’ve worked at since.

We didn’t self-host email / file sharing, to be clear – that’s a fool’s errand due to IP reliability rules. Google Workspace is great.

I’m not trying to specifically call you out here, I’m just trying to counter the general argument that it’s impossible to do what the big providers do while still having a reliable service.
I see a lot of comments shying away from self hosting, to keep focused on your own product, or wanting the ability to shift blame onto the big providers when things go sideways. There are hosted Next Cloud options, has anyone had experience with these good or bad?
GNOME could be great for this usecase. I've never liked GNOME too much since version 2. But the latest iteration, after so many years of churn, looks fantastic both on desktop and mobile.

Small Linux tablets, such as Surface Go or Starlabs do touch and desktop pretty well on GNOME. Sadly, I don't think there is a good mobile equivalent to the S8 you used to use.
> It would be silly to write low-level software in Java

Depends on what kind of low-level stuff.
I always wonder what do the devs who coded these "features" think about themselves and/or what other people think about them.

Yes I know they are literally paid to not have these questions. But deep down, is there any remorse or guilt at all or is it just "not my problem" attitude all the way to the bank?

On a tangent, this is why I think there need to be more regulations with software development. Any real engineering discipline has tons of oversight and government agencies breathing down their neck to ensure compliance. Software came out when all these pushes for safety has been gutted and as a result we have a free for all race to the bottom.
I love the iPod as a physical object, but it always hurt not being able to just put files on it. (Not to even mention the "you have to sync and wipe your entire iPod library" situation.)

I ended up putting Rockbox on my iPod Classic, which makes it be what it actually is: an MP3 player! (Alas the UI is not as pleasant, and battery life is worse...)

Similarly I've been so confused about files on my iPhone, whereas on Android I never had any confusion (except on some newer versions where there's both a Documents folder and a Documents "smart view" which are indistinguishable except when you realize nothing makes any sense and you ended up in the screen that's trying to give you an Apple-like files experience for some reason, and then you navigate back to the actual file system and are actually able to find your files...)

It _sounds_ like this is just the standard restore path, only now it can be done wirelessly. Restore/DFU is an erase all content path - there are some cases where restore can avoid erasing the old data, but that path requires the device pin, and if you know the pin, then you definitionally don't need to jump through any hoops to unlock the device.
Not surprised. Uber doesn’t exactly have a reputation of being the most ethical company out there.

Probably false, like the urban legend that Uber charges more when a device's battery is low [0].

Claims like this go viral because they're practically unfalsifiable (It isn't in Uber's best interest to make their pricing algorithms public) and generate clicks. But when you take a closer look, it's always some anecdote that can be explained by people selecting different pricing tiers, or by multiple phones looking at the same route implying increased demand (the latter search might display a higher price). A proper experiment would involve dozens of phones under different scenarios making searches in a random order, then trying to correlate the variables with the prices. But for whatever reason, nobody ever does those experiments.

For what it's worth, I checked the price of an Uber with credits in my account against Lyft to the airport just now, and Uber was slightly cheaper.

Lots of authentication systems use an SMS code to reset your password, thereby essentially becoming 1FA.
No, this is not adding a new version of resetting a device, it's just providing a mode where if your phone is bricked you don't need to find a computer and cable to get back to a working state if you're with someone else who has an iPhone.

The thing the limits the resale/theft value of an iPhone is activation lock - not the ability to reset the device. Resetting or restoring an iPhone does not remove activation lock, and this does not change that.

We looked into supporting Arc at work, unfortunately Arc is missing lots of basic security controls which are available in many other Chromium and non-Chromium browsers, these include:

+ The ability to enforce automatic updates
+ Ability to control which sites extensions/boots are installed on

On top of this there seems to be no way to remove the requirement to have an account to use the browser, selectively choose what data is sent/sync'd from Arc, or disable basic features like Easel through which staff accidentally leak data.

The UI for the browser is great, but Arc really needs to lay the groundwork for strong security controls or it'll struggle to gain (or even maintain) a foothold in the enterprise space.
