It's not so much a task database that people need. People need a way to structure their day. I find the calendar approach a lot of these apps use to be too cumbersome. I want structure, but something looser.

I'm working on my solution to this, that I call a "process manager." You have prompts that are composed of the prompt text, a recurrence pattern, and some prefill or "carry over" state. Essentially, a human version of a Turing machine.

Each day has a list, of the prompts that are due to show up that day. You can print it from your phone, and keep the paper folded and always with you.

Processes > projects. Our life is naturally process based. If you use food as an example, it's not enough to go grocery shopping once or make a meal once. Instead, "staying fed" is a never ending process. You can subordinate those tasks to that process, though.

So processes like that need to be managed, and currently there aren't any tools for that I know of.

I launched it on Testflight yesterday if anyone wants to give a spin:
https://testflight.apple.com/join/2VNkUqy9

I am planing on adding more powerful features, like the ability to script the prompt instead of having it be static text.

Sony owns a record label and film studio, phones and has had a cloud distribution network since 2006 via the PS3 but they completely missed the boat on music and video streaming.

Too many of their orgs were siloed from one another. As someone who has kind of admired their products, you can only laugh at how poorly things turned out for them given what we know today.
Code is great for creating HTML-based email templates with things like template variables for personalization and responsive design! Of course, templates are mainly useful if you're sending large quantities of emails and don't have the time to individually craft each one.
I don’t know that this is true. Safe injection zones don’t seem to be working. I feel like we’ve got good evidence prohibition works in some cases.
So, what exactly is the point of this line of argument? That some niche forms of touchless interfacing existed already? And thus the interfacing of the Vision Pro is not innovative?

What's interesting about this is chess.com allows you to stack as many pre-moves as you like but they each cost 0.1s, whereas on lichess you can only have one pre-move which is technically free but maybe not because of delay.
> Not all parents are good about money

And not all kids are good at school.

Parents are in a great position to really reach the kid by making the lessons real with actual consequences and rewards. The can give their kids financial advice where a school can only give information.

A finance class where kids have to memorize how bonds work to pass a test is just not the same.
This is interesting because I had the opposite experience… though I think I’m a little older than you. Maybe the internet was more innocent in my time.

In any case, I feel like this is definitely needed now. I wouldn’t want to grow up as a child with the current rampant social media use among young people. I feel like I got out just in time as the fat was closing.
I remember testing out a similar product (mabl?). Ended up just using it to check for dead links. Using it for other use cases, I remember getting too many false positives for other use cases.

This was many years ago though (2018-2019?) before the genAI craze. Wonder if it has improved or not; or if this product is any better than its competitors.
Google's Pixel handsets have worse modem performance than similar flagship Samsungs sold in the US, as even Samsung won't sell their underperforming Exynos chipsets in their flagship phones in the USA.

Exynos 5G New Radio chipsets got really bad with the Pixel 6 series, where the phone randomly loses cell signal and WiFi at the same time in areas with strong signal, and the only way to get back online is to put the phone in airplane mode or reboot the phone, sometimes neither works though.
> That sounds like a problem with the people you work with

No, it says something about me, not them. When people can't figure out problems on their own they come to me for help. Have been since I was a sophomore in college, which was a long ass time ago. Possibly before you were born (8 month account). So I have a pretty good idea where 'rock bottom' is for every class of tool I've ever used, and how often people get close to them.

I also get called in to look at bugs that other people refuse to believe exist, and bug forensics is where you really, really see the difference between a good commit history and a shitty one. If you aren't using 'git annotate' weekly or daily then you are not qualified to comment on how merges should or shouldn't be done. "I don't use it" means you don't have an opinion. "... so you shouldn't use it" is telling your coworkers you don't give a shit.

> This is a wild generalization

I think you're confusing red flag with deal breaker.

> Thoughtful people squash when they think they have a set of changes that go together.

True but useless distinction. Define 'go together'. Everyone has a different definition of this and you will never reach consensus there. Most of the people I'm thinking of here think everything for a single story 'goes together'. This is how you get an initial commit for a new module with 600+ lines of code and eight bugs you have to solve the hard way because all of the bugs showed up in a single commit.

Squashing before a PR fails Knuth's aphorism about code being meant to be read by humans and only incidentally by machines.

If you don't like that it took you three tries to figure out an off by one error in your code, that's fine. But you don't have to destroy all other evidence of your other processes in order to cover up your brainfart.
No argument. Just facts.

Statement: "You know perfectly well that you can't use any computer without touching a controller of some kind."

I think there's a lot of opportunity here to make a hybrid of voice control through more traditional approach along with a LLM

It will interesting to see how this evolves. UI automation use case is different from accessibility do to latency requirement. latency matters a lot for accessibility not so much for ui automation testing apparatus.

I've often wondered what the combination of grammar-based speech recognition and combination with LLM could do for accessibility. Low domain Natural Language Speech recognition augmented by grammar based speech recognition for high domain commands for efficiency/accuracy reducing voice strain/increasing recognition accuracy.

The functions for which there's only one implementation are trivial examples. It's not going to work for anything even slightly more complicated, like a function that returns a float.

Even if you could, you probably wouldn't want to make any change a breaking change by exposing implementation details.
I think its great we have had two years of huge enthusiasm and hype, just because in these many threads you see how much happiness it has inspired. But eventually, for most of us, it will soon become important to start getting a little more antagonistic to all this. Just really at the at end of the day to be able successfully keep navigating the world and our thoughts.

There is an awesome power and innovation to the entire of edifice of targeted advertising. The first time, perhaps, we were all "suggested" something that was in fact quite relevant, was in its own way a giddy-inspiring moment. But we have learned to hate it, not even considering the externalities it brings.

Just always remember: if you are paying for it, its not your friend!
Google certainly tortured me and everyone else I knew who had a Pixel 6 (or Pro) phone, you would randomly lose cellular and WiFi and they would not recover on their own, necessitating a reboot or toggling airplane mode to get back online.

The Exynos chipset is cursed, Samsung only ships it in markets where performance is a lower priority than price, hence not shipping Exynos in the US outside the Google Pixel whitelabel relationship.
Finding bugs in the Hubris kernel is rare enough that we have a running joke about resetting the “days since last kernel bug” timer.

I decided to make this joke into an actual docs page; because HN has enjoyed posts about Hubris in the past [1], I figured this might be of interest!

Many of the individual bugs are terrifying dives into corner cases of an embedded OS. This one is particularly good reading: https://github.com/oxidecomputer/hubris/issues/1134

He doesn't actually do any of the work in developing those technologies. He didn't even found Tesla. He's just the front man with enough money to buy titles like "chief engineer" and "founder".

A complete grifter.
>Tesla has more range per dollar than almost any others.

They don't - they inflate their estimated mileage across the board. Lucid runs circles around them dollar for dollar.

>Many have antiquated, unusable infotainment systems designed for legacy cars.

They pretty much all have carplay and android auto which runs circles around Tesla's antiquated interface. It was revolutionary a decade ago, it now looks like a tired android skin. Have you tried youtube music? You can't even properly like or dislike a song, much less properly navigate playlists.

>Some get marked up by $10,000 or more by dealers.

This literally isn't a thing. I don't know of ANY EV that you can't get at cost if you spend even 30 seconds looking. The dealers marking up cars ridiculous amounts during COVID hasn't been a normal thing for quite some time.

>None have the simplicity of charging.

Huh? You can drive a Ford Mach-E up to a Tesla charger, attach your adapter, plug it in, and it starts charging. The very first time you ever charge a given car, you do need to start it from the app to tie a tesla account to the car itself, after that it's plug and charge.

>Tesla is still selling most of the EVs on the road. Slowdowns attributed to Musk's shit behavior are never compared with their peers, who are having even worse slowdowns. Having driven nearly all of them, I understand why.

Having driven nearly all of them, I think I'm questioning if you have. Literally every other car I have driven has a nicer interior, a better technology system, and basic functionality that actually works like: auto wipers, cruise control that doesn't phantom brake for no reason, things you just take for granted in any modern car that Tesla decided wasn't worth spending a couple dollars per car to have work reliably.

Tesla is absolutely compared to peers, and no their peers aren't having "even worse slowdowns".

This is very good insight, the likes of which I’ve needed; thank you. Your workflow is moderately more complex and definitely less “agentic” than I’d expected/hoped but it’s absolutely not out of line with the kind of complexity I’m willing to tackle nor what I’d personally expect from pairing with or instructing a knowledgeable junior-to-mid level developer/engineer.
The YouTube algorithm led me to this series last week. It was both entertaining and insightful. I also very much enjoyed the last episode / night in China.
You might be interested in Peter F. Hamilton's Commonwealth Saga sci-fi series, then.

Among other tech, it involves the founding of a megacorp that exploits the discovery and monopolization of wormhole technology for profit, causing a rift between the two founders, who each remind me of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in their cooperation and divergence.

Then he can claim those things, but not what he hasn’t done yet. He’s very capable and I’m happy to defend his contribution, but his pronouncements on “full self driving” have been untruthful.

It means there is zero trust of a device/service/user on your network until they have been fully authenticated. It is about having zero trust in something just because it is inside your network perimeter.
Fun article :)

> software-defined perimeter (SDP) ... can use various techniques, including single packet authentication (or port knocking) or authentication and authorization-before-connectivity using strong identity and least-privileged access... when you embed an open-source OpenZiti SDK into your application... it’s magically transported to the destination through the OpenZiti fabric.. configured using identities, services, and policies. It ensures there is no other way to reach your app as we have zero trust in the wide-area, local network and even OS network. Embedding zero trust into your apps makes them immune to network-based side-channel attacks

Does this use an OpenZiti IDP proxy or rendezvous server on WAN/cloud?
Simple rebreathers use pure oxygen, and even when they don't- as long as co2 is steadily scrubbed out, its little more than a regular scuba regulator.

Oxygen has to go above a certain partial pressure (happens at a couple meters down, I don't know the numbers of the top of my head) before it's toxic. And, carrying a tank that's got more than oxygen in it defeats the original military development and use model of rebreathers: no bubbles, and long submersion times.

The real problem for users is a lot of carbon dioxide scrubbing compounds will kill you if they get wet.

Engineering wise, I seem to recall pressure balancing (countering the water's pressure), and forcing your exhalation air through the scrubber being the complexity.

Theres a ton of complexity with rebreathers. And, thats before accounting for the fact they're mostly used in combat and cave diving. (Last I checked. Tbf, I got scared and changed career paths away from the sea after Rouge Waves became irrefutable fact)
Without simply citing greed, I find this difficult to justify or explain. Apple is a premium, luxury brand. They make opinionated hardware and software that has offended many.

A couple of years ago I've made a Python program for generating all possible solutions of this Crosswordle game: https://crosswordle.vercel.app The app shows the overall number of solutions and some stats, like how many solutions contain certain word at certain position.
It was not completely useless: it was a big motivation factor for learning Python, because me and my friends were obsessed by the game.
It took around a year and 3 algorithm redesigns till the program could find all solutions of a 6-word Crosswordle in a somewhat reasonable time - 2-3 hours.
Most of the time I've encountered two engineers pointing fingers about who is responsible for a bug, it turns out that someone's bad merge transferred the git annotation from one engineer to another.

The first time this happened (that I caught) I had two engineers who were sniping at each other. One was older "Max" and not great at data structure algorithms. The other "Stan" was a decent coder but had a bad attitude and was awful with git. Somehow he thought he could raise his status by getting Max kicked off the team.

I come back from lunch one day and Stan is bitching about a bug in Max's new code that's causing issues. To keep these two from fighting I've been reviewing all of Max's PRs and the line of code Stan is complaining about I know for a fact I checked, and was relieved to see Max got it right the first time. But sure enough, the repo says Max fucked it up.

Twenty minutes of git archaeology later and sure enough, Stan messed up a merge and resolved the conflict wrong, introducing the phantom bug. So I showed him the step by step of my diagnosis and then we had another little talk about using rebase.

If you use standard BPE, you likely won't tokenize every number by it's digits, depending on the data set used to create the tokenizer.

The point is, you have a choice. You can do the tokenization however you like. The reason 23 is interesting is that there is a case to be made that a model will more likely understand 23 is related to Jordan if it's one token, and if it's two tokens it's more difficult. The opposite is true for math problems.

The reality is whatever we want to make it. It's likely that current schemes are... sub optimal. In practice it would be great if every token was geometrically well spaced after embedding, and preserve semantic information, among other things. The "other things" have taken precedent thus far.

Ooh! I wonder if most of the letters they send out are forms (expected to be returned), but all of their letters are on the same paper-stock, which is pre-printed with the (intended for forms) "don't write below" message.

Evidence in favor of this theory: the "don't write" message is in red text. It's cheaper to do two (or more) passes on one high-volume print run - and then single (B&W) impressions on the smaller runs for each individual letter or form - than it would be to do multiple passes for each and every order.

The support staff wouldn't be privy to these sorts of economic optimizations, so no wonder they couldn't give the guy a comprehensive answer.

>The government should seize it when the company is seeking a bailout

Why would the company seek it when both the shareholders stand to lose everything, and the executives stand to lose everything and then some? It's in their interest to crash it into the ground hoping for a hail mary that would save the company. What this typically manifests as is one day the company announces it ran out of money and is ceasing operations effectively immediately. This is very disruptive to both employees as well as customers/vendors. Letting the executives get off scot free might not seem fair, but it's far better than the alternative.
