I still don’t understand why iCloud cannot have a switch to keep the pictures even when I delete them on my phone (where storage is more sparse).

OneDrive with an MS-Office subscription actually solves this. Syncs in the background and I can access the pictures on my laptop without downloading them from iCloud.

Monazite isn't common. Well, it's somewhat common but not on beaches. Beach sand is mostly quartz.

Beach sand may or may not be radioactive, but California only requires Prop 65 warnings on things for sale.

The beach isn't for sale.

Sand that is sold in the state of California does come with the warning that it is a carcinogen because regular old silicon dioxide is a carcinogen: https://mcdn.martinmarietta.com/assets/safety-data-sheets/na...

With all things the dose makes the poison, so even if you are a beach bum you're ok but if you are an industrial worker exposed to concentrated amount of silica dust on a daily basis, you should really be informed that it is a carcinogen (among other things) and be equipped with PPE.
It's a magic comment, a feature from Ruby 2.3+ [0]. Not sure what set dhh (David Heinemeier Hansson, creator of the Ruby on Rails web framework) off about this, but I'm guessing it improves performance and was a concession after alternatives were exhausted.

It is not an open-source product at this time. However, I welcome any feedback on the product idea or suggestions for survey software features.
It seems even more flexible than a lease, you can pause and return the car at any time and get a new one when you unpause.
Maximum performance is only one corner for optimization. We do not operate chips at high temperatures in our pocket; the goal is to get low power for the same functionality to have a long battery life, in which case parallelization means doubling the number of transistors while halving clock rates lowering the total power quadratically. It is also not more expensive per area to stack logic: by lowering the area of each die, you increase the yield of each in the stack.
Sure, all else being equal. That's why we all write LISP right? No compile times.

I think I misunderstand OP's problem then.
Yeah I just feel like they're talking about a problem they've been unable to solve, rather than a solution.

Einstein and Planck just solved stuff, with a fraction of the talk and resources.

Now Physics seems to be so stagnant it's mostly an exercise in making descriptions for the things it's failing at, as though a problem can somehow match the value of a solution if you give it a cool name and talk about it enough.

I used to only deploy with remote controlled power strips, at one point I was dealing with 10 racks in a colo. However, my "new" setup (a decade old now) had one of the APC power strips fail and I replaced them with dumb units without Ethernet or controls, because I hadn't used the remote power feature of the strips.

The equipment is all Dell with Enterprise DRAC, which is 90+% of my remote power needs. The only times I've needed to physically unplug them I also needed the power button on the machine held down for 30 seconds as part of what Dell calls the "FLEA drain" process, so remote power strips wouldn't help.
And this is an example of enshitification?

> My question is, why does Apple have all of this personal, private information, stored in plain text?

iCloud backups are usually encrypted (by default with a key Apple possesses). It's possible Apple stores this data in a database, though; as far as I can tell, it's a list of devices authenticated to your Apple account. The name and model of the device are probably there so you can easily manage them from a list of stored passkeys somewhere, as the only identifiers that need to be stored are the key ID and the public key which you probably wouldn't recognise if you tried to check your security settings.

> Is that how passkeys always work?

No.

Bluetooth passkeys generally work via CTAP2 with the key information encrypted on-device (though this does leak your BT MAC address to your immediate surroundings and leaves a pairing record on your computer, obviously), USB passkeys work by storing a key and signatures on the USB device itself, and every software-defined passkey implementation I've seen uses end-to-end-encryption for exchanging keys.

> Does every website where you login with a passkey get your device model, name, UDID, and last 4 characters of your device serial number?

No. Most of this information seems to be collected specifically for Apple's iCloud passkey sync mechanism. Passkey authentication should export a unique key ID per website/session, a public key signature for verifying authentication, and optionally a vendor ID for the "only permit certain types of passkeys" restrictions (though those should not be used for almost anything).

> I have no idea. I don't know how passkeys are implemented. But it's something we ought to know, something that passkey vendors ought to tell us. The privacy implications of widely distributing that information are disturbing. Downloading my data from Apple has brought more questions than answers.

If you hook a device up to a cloud account, you should expect the identifiers for that device to come with it. This is done at the very least to enable their theft protection system.
If you are ignorant of things well known in the literature that is not a mistake. Even if everyone else is, that is not an excuse, their job is to design things safe.
This is so freaking funny! Good!
I suspect this is all well understood by the authors. We do research one simple step at a time, then we sell it as "look at this amazing thing" because we like funding (which enables future research and eating food!)
That assumes that there's no other way to get your password than by accessing the contents of your password manager. The service itself could have its passwords/hashes leaked, and people unfortunately do reuse passwords across services even with a password manager, so it's very plausible for someone to get your password but not the answers to your questions.
Look at Hungary. It's pretty well documented, as the cuckoo in the big EU nest.

It's economy is stagnating (of course, because of all the legalized corruption and nepotism, the ruling elite meddling in everything, misuse of EU funds, and the usual), and we have very good data about this. We can even have a nice "natural experiment", because Hungary joined the EU in 2004, then the current regime was voted to power in 2010 with 68% of seats (by 2.7M ppl, 52% of voters)

and then again in 2014 (2.2M ppl, 45%), 2018 (2.8M ppl, 49%), 2022 (3M ppl, 54%). Every time with 67-68% of the seats.

Very methodically people were very nicely brainwashed. After 14 years in government with "absolute majority" around 3M people still think that bad things are bad because of the mystical others. Due to the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine we now have a live action 1984 black comedy where "war is peace" is basically the state motto.

> Binary artifacts don't cause exponential growth in storage requirements. It's still just linear.

I think what the author was getting at was the combinatoric explosion as you add different variants (CPU architecture, operating systems, python versions) - but I agree that "exponential growth" is not the right term to use here.
There is not even a JRE anymore - at least read some stuff from this decade before you criticize something so shallowly.

This is neat! After the huge price increase a couple years ago with GMaps, it looks like you’ve come up with a creative way to offer much of the same functionality for most users. It’s unfortunate to still see small business sites to this day with error messages on their map widgets because of the API change from Google.

I know nothing about mapping, but I’ve always had a dream of making a private neighborhood map which labels each house with people, sort of like a visual Rolodex. It would be great to have property boundaries, too. Do you have any suggestions for places to start? I don’t even know what file formats would hold this sort of data.

It’s clearly different in that ChatGPT sounds authoritative but you still have to track down sources and make sure they’re correctly summarized and accurate. Search doesn’t give you the impression that you’re doing anything else but ChatGPT always sounds authoritative even when it’s wrong, which makes it a hazard for the people who need it the most because they don’t have the personal expertise to recognize when it goes off track.

In 2022, I bought a yearly subscription of the paper version of Scientific American in an attempt to recreate the childhood feeling of reading it. I am glad I did but I only received six out of 12 issues, in two packets of three. Plus it has become highly political, so I won't be doing it again.

I believe tensorflow does remove old pre-releases (I know other projects do), so that number I think might be fairly static?

That tensorflow is that big isn't surprising, given the install of it plus its dependencies is many gigabytes (you can see the compressed sizes of wheels on the release pages e.g. https://pypi.org/project/tensorflow/#files), and the "tensorflow" package (as opposed to the affiliated packages) based on https://py-code.org/stats is 965.7 GiB, which really only includes a relatively small number of pre-releases.

Why tenserflow is that big comes down to needing to support many different kinds of GPUs with different ecosystem versions, and I suspect the build time of them with zig cc (assuming it works, and doesn't instead require pulling in a different compiler/toolchain) would be so excessive (especially on IoT/weaker devices) that it would make the point of the exercise moot.
It's not particularly uncommon to have a non-cryptographic whitening/scrambling step as part of high-speed signalling protocols (e.g. PCI-E) in part for this reason. Even for interconnects between different chips on the same PCB.

I'm not sure this is new; it's easy to forget (there's a success bias in what people end up remembering; people remember the iPhone, but not, like, Windows for Pen Computing), but the tech industry has been trying to fob all manner of bullshit off on the general public for decades. Most of the exhibits at CES fall into that category. I think maybe what _is_ new is the _scale_ of the efforts; we start to see this with blockchain stuff about a decade ago, where really quite significant amounts were spent by major players before quietly giving up, then a step up with 'metaverses' (where amounts spent get into the tens of billions), and now LLMs.

Actually, maybe the real inflection point was 3D TVs, about 15 years ago; there was quite a big push and many industry participants damaged themselves quite badly on it. Amazon Alexa-type things are another possible example.
Looks like https://kino.ai addresses that derushing stage, but as a specialized tool rather than as a function inside a video editor - which makes a lot of sense to me.

I read somewhere about a home router that corrupted packets in transit. In this case it was a torrent that never completed because of this. IIRC something in the nat engine bugged out and replaced bytes in the data and not just in the ip header.

More or less everything is broken. Its just that most protocols are designed to handle it.

Show HN: A fast and battery-efficient online workout timer
Hello HN,

I'm a CS student, and I built a workout timer using Next.js because the online timer I was using was slow and quickly drained my MacBook’s battery. This timer includes styles like EMOM, AMRAP, HIIT, and Tabata, with a minimalist design and performance optimizations.

It was very fun to build something that performs better while solving a real problem I experienced. I'd love to get feedback from the community on how to improve it further. Any suggestions for optimization or new features would be super helpful! You can check the code on https://github.com/yigit-cankurtaran/workout-timer-nextjs
That is an absolutely fantastic idea and what a brilliant way to help inspire confidence in your product.

Because they are trying to make a profit and so have gotten rid of things that don't see much.

While sometimes I would make the argument that the lack of inventory is why people go online instead, in this case I think that is wrong. Their target market is home owners doing plumbing, and plumbing rarely needs those odd connectors. Frankly if you have small PVC/cPVC water pipes (as opposed to larger drain pipes) I would replace them with PEX where practical, and cut them off where not and install a PEX adapter. (I'd also do that for copper or iron pipes - copper because it might have lead solder but if it doesn't you are good for a while; iron because it hasn't been common in so long that anything you see is probably past expected lifespan)

Why you trying to run interference for this article?

A book ban can take many forms, it can be diminished access, it can be explicit removal, it can be shuffled to a back room to make room for other content. What is common though, is administration, the school board, or legislature being the impetus in the decision of the removal of content.

> The media claimed that the removed books were banned even though kids were allowed to read their copy

This statement is why I’m thinking you’re not arguing in good faith.

"america" was the name the europeans gave to the continent (or pair of continents) discovered by columbus, which he thought was indonesia, but which amerigo vespucci proposed was a new continent. vespucci proposed this after exploring parts of america, specifically parts of venezuela, what is now the dominican republic, and some of the coast of brazil. the name "america" gained currency in europe over the period 01507–01538, 89 years before the tombstone in question and 430 years before the founding of the american indian movement in 01968

the idea that native americans were native to that continent (or pair of continents) was not in any way novel to them; what was novel was that there were other continents such as europe, and thus that there was a distinction between america and the world

so everything you have said is completely unrelated to the truth

"When Python came into existence, repeatable builds (i.e. not yet reproducible, but at least correctly functioning on more than one machine) were a pipe dream. Building C/C++ projects reliably has been an intractable problem for a long time, but that's not true anymore."

I'd dispute that. It used to be the case that building NumPy just worked, now there are Cython/meson and a whole lot of other dependency issues and the build fails.

"At the Zig Software Foundation we look up to the Python Software Foundation as a great example of a fellow 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was able to grow an incredibly vibrant community ..."

Better don't meet your heroes. Python was a reasonable community made up and driven by creative individuals. In the last 8 years, it has been taken over by corporate bureaucrats who take credit for the remnants of that community and who will destroy it. The PSF has never done anything except for selling expensive conference tickets and taking care of its own.

Well-configured zstd can save a lot of bandwidth over gzip at this scale without major performance impact, especially with the custom dictionary. Initialising zstd with a custom dictionary also isn't very difficult for the client side.

As for application development, I think web socket APIs are generally exposed much better and used much easier than SSEs. I agree that SSEs are a more appropriate technology to use here, but they're used so little that I don't think the tooling is good. Just about every language has a dedicated websocket client library, but SSEs are usually implemented as a weird side effect of a HTTP connection you need to keep alive manually.

The stored ZSTD objects make sense, as you only need to compress once rather than compress for every stream (as the author details). It also helps store the data collected more efficiently on the server side if that's what you want to do.

I've always been self-conscious about my thinning hair, and I couldn't find a good way to objectively track changes over time. So, I decided to build my own solution: Myhair.ai.
It's a mobile application that lets users:

1.Track daily hair growth

2.Monitor hair loss

3.Analyze overall hair condition

4.Receive personalized insights

Some technical challenges I faced:

- Developing accurate image recognition algorithms to detect subtle changes in hair density and length

- Creating a user-friendly interface for consistent photo uploads and progress tracking

- Implementing machine learning models to provide personalized recommendations based on individual hair patterns and user-inputted data

I'm still refining the app and would love feedback from the HN community!:)
What are your thoughts on using AI for personal health tracking? Are there any features you'd find particularly useful in a hair analysis tool?

If you're interested in trying it out or learning more, you can check it out at https://myhair.ai.

I'm happy to answer any questions about the technical implementation, my approach to data privacy, or the challenges of building in the health-tech space.

We all know the magic of a good book. Sometimes, we pick up a novel and get completely lost in its world, forgetting our worries for a while. Other times, we find exactly the right words to help us through something tough. Books can do more than entertain—they can guide, comfort, and even heal. But what if there was a way to make sure you always found just the right book when you needed it most?
