What's a "brah"?

The package was sealed, the device (according to ADB output has no charging cycles) and was obviously never in use. That's what I would call brand new.... But if that's the wrong term and "new old stock" is what it should be called, I wouldn't disagree.

Doesn't matter though, as it's still a perfectly fine device that cannot be updated even though that's only limited because of Verizon's policy.

Since I already updated three other non-verizon Pixel-2s it was surprising to experience locked-down-for-no-obvious-reason devices that can no longer be put to good use.

Get real? ... Well,....
In 2024 you can buy showerheads with actually decent flow rates. Just need to adjust them properly or buy decent ones.

OOD Library for C
Because the tools to write OSS are cheap. A laptop and a brain are enough. Everybody already got them. About time and paying one own bills: some people volunteer and somebody are paid by their employees to write open source or to occasionally contribute to it. I did it myself years ago. We needed to add some functionality to an OSS library and I asked to my customer if I could send the patch to the project on GitHub. They told me yes and I believe it's still there. GitHub inflicted 2FA to me for that later on, but that's another story.

Some scientific research tools are as cheap as what we use to write software. Other tools cost a lot, from the 10 thousands to the billions. They are funded in several ways from universities, research labs to transnational entities.

That could change with AI models because collecting data and training cost a lot, but they are not the usual OSS piece of code so I'm not sure that they belong to this thread.

> Look at .Net.

.net??? I worked with .net for about 10 years and over multiple versions of .net and .net core, the amount of time we spent facilitating upgrades was much more than I ever spent on upgrading a react app. In fact, at my last .net job I was hired specifically to transition the company's platform from .net to .net core. There was so much work involved that they literally created a role for it.

Yes, but I believe op was refering to how interacting with all things Wayland seems to be more involved than with x11. I'm not sure this is indeed like this, I have zero experience in developing for Wayland, but I think this is what op meant.
That was me.

I wrote a FORTH in 6809 assembly for the TRS-80 Color Computer running this OS

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS-9

which was very much UNIX influenced and could support three users logged in simultaneously. I wrote to the Forth Interest Group and got back a reference card for the standard and used that for a guide. The big thing I did differently was file I/O; at that point in time FORTHs often accessed individual blocks on the disk, your code editor would edit one block at a time, etc. If you already have an OS, text editor and such it makes more sense to provide an API similar to the C API for the filesystem so that's what I did and the standard caught up.
That sounds like an architecture issue. In 10 years I’ve used React for a wide variety of projects from digital publishing tools to realtime medical dashboards to WebRTC-based videoconferencing apps with 3D graphics. I’ve never seen a build require anything like that much horsepower or time.
This is cool, I've thought of building something like this for years now.

The price is a bit high, but glad to see it in the real world.
Some folks on this list spewing out misinformation, perhaps because of personal interests in WPE. Matt has done more than any of us to create and preserve an amazing open-source ecosystem that we all benefit from. Can you imagine what it would be like if WPE controlled WP?

Accurate tracking of what? And which smart watches?

The Apple Watch seems to generally have the most accurate tracking according to most studies, which surprises me.

That’s the definition of boring in tech.

Before modern web dev practices my team was notified a dev had started the wipe/reinstall OS process on a 1,000 bare metal lab desktops and servers due to a bug in their deployment script

From prior experience I knew only the OS partition had been nuked so far not old data. So my team collected the disks, closed a campus computer, connected disks via USB adapters, shorted the two pins on ATX power supplies to provide power to the disks and booted from the lab machines it was all connected to into a live USB Linux system where we ran recovery tools on ~600-700 SATA disks (some servers had been snapshotted to backup and didn’t need the effort)

That was the most interesting day in tech I’ve ever worked and I started my career designing add on boards for a company that sold to Nortel before they imploded; my output literally shipped late 90s-early 00s internet users packets around

Noodling if else and for loops day in and day around some biz context I don’t care about but some Harvard grad has seed money to advertise is the lamest; the 2010s, an entire decade if my career and since, has been really boring.

> Not to mention any sane tech writers that value their time wouldn't write this much.

This is a big part of why the tech is so damn corrosive, even in well-meaning use, let alone its lopsided benefits for bad actors.

Even on the “small” and more-private side of life, it’s tempting to use it to e.g. spit out a polished narrative version of your bullet-point summary of your players’ last RPG session, but then do you go cut it back down to something reasonable? No, by that point it’s about as much work as just writing it yourself in the first place. So the somewhat-too-long version stands.

The result is that the temptation to generate writing that wasn’t even worth someone’s time to write—which used to act as a fairly effective filter, even if it could be overcome by money—is enormous. So less and less writing is worth the reader’s time.

As with free long distance calls, sometimes removing friction is mostly bad.
I’m still not convinced a human form factor is the best solution there. Why not fixed articulating arms at the laundry/sink locations instead of bipedal robots that must maintain balance and locomotion between the spots? Maybe if that were possible to do perfectly, but the engineering effort to get there is enormous compared to tech we’ve already had on assembly lines for decades. I’m not even saying we that we absolutely shouldn’t explore the tech, I’m just questioning if it’s objectively the best solution. A humanoid robot wouldn’t completely remove the need for human effort involved in eating or getting dressed and undressed… so is it really a problem that we need to physically place dishes or clothes in a certain spot ourselves for them to be dealt with?

too expensive to justify the purchase, otherwise cool and seems to be rather good build quality (at least from videos).
Well, yes and no. It's a bit more complex than just taking the numbers from Shannon-Hartley, but I admit that my original description was at best lacking, so thank you for pointing that out.

Shannon-Hartley describes that the theoretical information capacity of a signal given a bandwidth and an SNR. Doubling bandwidth halves your SNR (received noise increases, received signal does not), in turn reducing the bits gained per unit of bandwidth. At very high SNR, doubling bandwidth almost doubles capacity, but as SNR goes down, the benefit of additional bandwidth levels off until bandwidth no longer has any effect.

However, this provides the number achievable by a perfect modulation scheme using all available bandwidth and signal strength. AM and FM are both incredibly inefficient, and more importantly have very different reactions to noise - something Shannon-Hartley does not concern itself with.

With truly random noise, FM and AM noise both scale based on noise amplitude as you say. In AM, all noise overlapping with the band is played back verbatim, whereas in FM only the noise causing frequency variations in the carrier wave have any effect on the signal, and end up with a non-linear response to noise.

However, we do not deal with purely white noise, and FM has far superior handling of non-random noise. In order to have any effect, it need to either induce frequency shifts to the carrier wave, or have enough power to cause the interference to be captured instead. There's also the far higher power efficiency, as FM puts all its power into the signal, whereas traditional AM puts most of it into a useless carrier and wastes half the remaining power on the redundant sideband (yes, SSB is a thing). These were certainly also factors in FMs demise.

A simpler means to remove bandwidth from the equation would be to compare with a narrow-band FM transmission, or by multiplying the input waveform for an AM transmitter by some factor to fill the bandwidth. I believe FM should still handily beat it at least above its threshold. I don't see anyone giving exact numbers of this though, so I guess it could be a fun SDR project for someone wanting to prove either point. :)

(Neither AM nor FM is of anything but historic value at this point - their only redeeming quality is discrete circuit simplicity if you need to MacGyver one out of shoelace and bubblegum, but that's it.)

Seems like quite a bit of hardware engineering went into the design.

But if you are hacker and don't care too much about the aesthetics you could probably get 90% of the functionality with an ESP32, a GPIO extender, an LED array, an OLED display and a 3D printed case for like $30.

Ideas often come at the intersection of problems you’ve lived through and technologies you’re comfortable using. Instead of hunting for novel ideas, ask yourself: What’s frustrating you or the people around you right now?
A lot of successful solopreneurs didn’t try to build the ‘next big thing.’ They focused on niche, underserved problems that were within their skill set. Also, don't stress if there are competitors—execution beats originality. If you’re tired of AI-wrapping ideas, try exploring automation or niche SaaS tools that solve everyday business problems efficiently.
The goal is to ship fast, validate fast, iterate even faster. You only need one niche that loves your solution. That’s enough to get you started.
Do you have an estimate of when you'll be out of private beta and available? Can you share any more about pricing or what you consider to be a "small-scale application". Thanks!
It depends on if you’re talking about authoritarianism as it relates to the average person or the political and ruling class. There have been a lot of reports of Xi getting rid of a lot of potential adversaries when he announced himself ruler for life and the imprisonment of Jack Ma and stripping him of his wealth for making challenging statements against Xi seems pretty authoritarian.
Thank you kindly! I've got a few lovely books, but I'm out and their names escape me. Will update later.
Can't talk about the rest, but some spelunking led me to finding that TV was "legacy" component in later Genera options, working properly only on the main console and, due to significant emulation work, on MacIvory through RPC to host Mac.

DW/CLIM treated TV as one possible driver, if not sidestepped it, the problem was that some software (iirc mainly related to some S-Graphics products) had some hardcoded TV dependencies from earlier versions - it's mentioned as part of the porting plans for OpenGenera, because OpenGenera has no working TV subsystem at all, because TV didn't work over X11.

Show HN: I made a macOS app to support Anthropic Claude
I'm a hardcore LLM user who's been switching from OpenAI to Anthropic because I feel Claude 3.5 Sonnet's responses are just better.

When Anthropic released their system prompt for Claude, I decided to create my own macOS app. Because I found myself open too many browser tabs, it is just annoying that I need to search through tons of tabs to locate the Claude tab whenever I needed it. I added some other features like customized prompt shortcuts and the capability to get responses from OpenAI and Gemini for comparison. Sometimes I just want to know what they can give me.

My own version runs on Supabase, but to keep this free for everyone, I made this version save everything locally on your mac, I give 10 message everyday to people for free (hope you can give me some feedback), after that you may need your own API key, which is also saved locally on your machine.

Hope you enjoy it and please use the feedback button in the app to share your thoughts with me.

Thank you!

Here are examples where C# is successfully used as a language for an embedded target.

In addition to that, compiling to bytecode is just one way to execute it out of many, and the statement does not correspond to reality. I'm not arguing C# is a good language for IoT. I'd personally use Rust for that in almost every situation, but the amount of false claims in this discussion is disheartening.

That sounds reasonable, yeah. Presumably you'd write your inner loops purely in RVC instructions; in the situations where you'd use SeRV, you wouldn't be using it for your computational bottlenecks, which you'd build special-purpose hardware for, but just to sort of orchestrate a sequence of steps. But Minimax seems like it could really reduce the amount of stuff you had to design special-purpose hardware for.
Additionally, VLM is otherwise "ivory rev. 5" which is not compatible at compiled code level with ivory rev. 0-4 which where the physical ivories. Small differences in few places including IIRC in page sizes.

Free users are either future customers or advocates. It helps to categorize them based on their behavior rather than just how long they have been using the product. Look for patterns like how often they engage and which features they use. Engaged free users are more likely to convert or recommend your product. If some users are not adding value, guide them toward conversion with upsells or incentives. A referral program can also unlock value from free users. The goal is to balance engagement with sustainability, giving value to those who might become paying customers while minimizing the drain on resources.
I was surprised this wasn't leaned on more explicitly for the explanation.

I think this is largely held in the assumptions that go into saying most noise will be amplitude modulation?

Edit: Reminds me of the banal but vital insight that digital uses repeaters to gain distance, whereas analog uses amplifiers. Makes it very easy to consider why/how digital took over.
I wonder if the fact that mature corals are stationary makes it harder for them to adapt. If the surviving corals are too far apart, it could be that they're unable to reproduce sexually. Coral larvae seem to be mobile until they find a structure to settle on, but if the larvae never have a chance to form...

(Corals can also reproduce asexually via fragmentation, but that won't help with genetic diversity in the wild I'd imagine. Researchers seem to take advantage of this for selective breeding though.)
AngularJS (aka "Angular 1.0", as distinct from the 2.0 and later rewrites/rebrands into "Angular" without the "JS" part) was a batteries-included framework that tried to mimic the older web frameworks. It used a then-common model-view-controller architecture which required a certain way of structuring your code. It had a higher learning curve and was ideologically rigid, but resulted in much cleaner code compared to the "jQuery soup" of the day.

Then React came in and said "screw all that, we just want to make it easy to componentize the web". It was much less architecturally rigid and basically the only thing you had to learn was that rendering was a function of state. The rest of the architecture was up to you. That made it easy to pick up to do a simple dynamic component, but it made everything else much messier: routing, cross-component state sharing, data binding, etc. It had a much shallower initial learning curve but gave you way more footguns later. Unfortunately, as often happens in the web world, ease of use won out, and generations of devs basically grew up coding for the web much like they did in the jQuery days: thinking of it as document markup with some sprinkled-in, tacked-on dynamicness rather than a top-down architected codebase.

React's pitfalls as a barebones "UI as function of state" library made it super popular, but it was also too minimal for most real-world use cases. So an ecosystem sprung up around it, giving us things like React Router, React Toolkit, Next.js, etc., which tried to add the batteries back into React. By that time Angular was already irrelevant, much like .NET (on the web).

The Web has always been the wild west of software development, where anybody and their horse can come up with a new paradigm, and if it's easy to use, it will displace the current popular method. Cleaner code always loses to ease of use. React itself went through a similar cycle with Angular, Next came in and displaced all the other frameworks, but now Next itself is getting too complicated and simpler solutions like Vite or Astro are taking hold. The cycle starts anew... (sigh).

Could I politely suggest more Clojure-like naming? `deframaop -> defop`. You can always `(require 'com.rpl.rama :as rama)` and invoke with `(rama/defop ...)` for the desired level of clarity and improved readability.
Corporate takeovers always come with uncertainty, and Microsoft has shown it is not shy about enforcing its interests. Treat GitHub as a public distribution channel rather than your primary repository. Use self-hosted Git instances or platforms like GitLab for your core work. Automate your deployments to push code to multiple places so that no single platform has full control over your code.
