Sure, it's not on the same performance level but this isn't the only option. There is a wide range of options available in the same form factor. Here's something higher end: https://www.bosgamepc.com/products/bosgame-mini-pc-p3-amd-ry... Probably still uses an external power brick but I imagine that's just to reduce costs.

My point is that this size of device is already available with upgradability so the form factor isn't the issue. Apple is significantly better at engineering products than these random companies and they could surely have made this new Mac Mini upgradeable. I do understand why they wouldn't want to though!
Also if someones just dropping by (unscheduled delivery, sales) and I'm asleep, or watching a movie, or whatever I don't want to be disturbed, and if I have a question for my neighbors similarly I don't want to bother them if they're busy. Phones have snooze mode, most doorbells I've encountered don't.
There's an industry in China for desoldering and reusing apple bands. Unfortunately getting new oem nands is going to take legislation.
My org decided rather suddenly to adopt Salesforce Marketing Cloud which sounded like a plausible decision until I found out it was ExactTarget and looked pretty much the same as it did in 2004 and also doesn't really integrate with Salesforce CRM in any useful way.
Both you and sgarland are missing the point here: the example I gave is literally just that: an example. There could be many more complex cases, some relying on other business logic provided by your application, some more isolated. Some of those cases could be handled using some random PG extension, but for many that won't be sufficient.

In contrast, a migration written in an actual programming language can handle all such cases. Depending on the amount of abstractions applied, it can also look close enough to a declarative language (in other words, it doesn't have to be verbose).

So yes, the limitation I'm implying very much is a limitation of SQL (or really any declarative query language for that matter). It has nothing to do with the data model as it applies equally well to using e.g. MongoDB, Redis, or really anything else that stores a pile of data you may want to transform in complex ways.
I've been working with Cursor for a few months. I learned quickly to stay away from the hype around creating entire features using Composer. Found a ton of value in using it to work with context from the codebase as well as external documentation.

Latency is a big problem for cloud gaming, and not likely to be solved any time soon.

>sometimes indeed shielding from the harsh truth by avoiding from mentioning something, which I do believe is different from lying.

You mean lying by omission? A.k.a. not speaking the quiet part? It's still received and noted by the other person you know. Likely by the part of the psyche they haven't got consciously integrated, or are experiencing a connectivity problem with.

Remember, that part of them is still a very big chunk of human neural processor. It isn't stupid. It's also not terribly capable of straightforwardly communicating. What it is scarily good at is navigating the external world, which includes seeing the void of what one doesn't say. If it's already running amok, pouring more fuel in the form of duplicity on the fire is probably not the greatest idea.

You don't have to, you can run your favorite flavor of Linux. Unlike with the Mac Mini which can only run macOS.
xz wasn’t “user hostile”, and so weren’t countless other pieces of software affected by supply chain attacks. Nothing is hobbled if you can give it explicit permission (which you may well do on xeyes).

The days where you downloaded your software from the sunsite or tsx11.ai.mit.edu FTP servers and could be confident that it and all its dependencies were trustworthy are unfortunately gone for a very long time.
This is the risk of a being a product expert. I've been through a few cycles. Transitioning can be done. You can also seek clients who are looking to migrate away from Demandware.
This stuff still seems frankly theoretical. I finally opted into long-term disability insurance after using the maximum short-term twice in the span of two years because of spinal degeneration in my late 30s. You have to agree to a medical exam and send records to apply for this insurance anyway, and in spite of trying to get it specifically because I'd used up the max short-term, and I am seemingly quite a high risk to actually become disabled, I was still approved.

In practice, in talking to co-workers also applying for the same things, the only people who ever got denied were all obese.

This is all setting aside that, assuming somewhat symmetric distributions of genetically determined traits, half of all people will have above average genetics. The conversation on the Internet always seems to fixate on people being denied coverage or charged more, but that seems to assume pricing models are just plain malicious, in which case they could charge more and deny you anyway, with or without data. Assuming they're actually using the data and building real predictive models, half the population would benefit from insurance companies having more data.

All that said, I would still never submit data to a company like 23andme, and would also never allow the police to have camera feeds of my house, even though I'm extremely confident they would never find a reason to arrest me. It's creepy, feels invasive, and I just don't want it.
Mabuhay! We also have a Michelin starred restaurant here in Chicago with the same name.
When I was a young teen, I volunteered at the local YMCA to help set up a "haunted house" (actually a squash court) for Halloween. One of the decorations I pulled out of a storage closet was a display skeleton. I set it up and was having fun playing around with it when I noticed it had some metal fillings in the teeth...and everything was a bit TOO realistic.

I still get the heebie-jeebies thinking about it.
I know a few people that tell me they experience "voices", but not necessarily hostile ones. The common mechanism they use to organize their thoughts is to assign a name to the voice (or multiple voices) and possibly an appearance to it. I believe it's referred to as a plural system? I honestly don't know what to make of any of it since it's so unlike anything I've personally experienced. They seem to not be self-destructive, though, so whatever they're doing must be effective for themselves. I can't imagine that the mechanism behind it is too different than the one responsible for psychosis, so it makes sense that a similar approach would be effective.
CVE-2024-9632 xorg-x11-server: heap-based buffer overflow privilege escalation
Apple offering expensive upgrades for storage and memory pre-dates the existence of iCloud storage by decades. It was entirely standard before MobileMe, or Apple offering any kind of "cloud" services.

Apple just charge a lot of money for upgrades, even did when it was trivial to do them yourself, and they're not going to change once they made it impossible to do any kind of internal upgrade.
If you cry foul every time microsoft Embraces something, you'll be proven right about EEE a lot of the time.

But you'll also be wrong a lot of the time.

This is not the Extend in EEE. We might get there, and we should be generally wary of microsoft, but this doesn't show that we're already there.
> Aside from everything else, I don't understand what Whittaker's point was; she seemed to ultimately be advocating for something, but I can't understand what, exactly.

The whole talk felt like it was gearing up to making a point but then it ended. It turned out that the point was to blame our current situation on the "sins of the 90s". To be fair, it was in the title all along so I'm not sure why I was expecting otherwise.
Is there a name for "when leadership makes an objectively terrible decision but then everyone has to put in double time making it a success ensuring leadership learns nothing?"
Understanding these things at a level where you can optimise a CI pipeline is actually quite difficult. The evidence for this is that almost every CI pipeline I’ve ever seen, in the many companies have been at, has been horrendously unoptimised and slow.
We shouldn't forget the history of SQL. I wasn't there, but my impression has been that it was originally written so that non-technical users (business decision makers) could write queries and have access to data in order to make business decisions. The data accessibility feature is ostensibly already built into the language. I think this original vision never ended up working out. I believe that business decision maker brains are not the same as SQL query writing brains. You need to be able to choose some facts, ignore the rest and persuade people.

So this product adds (added) a middle layer in between the end user and the database. Either the user could learn this, or they could just learn SQL. But if the end users really care about what the data shows, they might as well just learn to write SQL queries, they aren't that hard. The reality is that end user business decision makers may not care that much about the SQL query output from data sets that may have a whole series of built in errors and biases anyways.

I think business decision makers want to make decisions based on gut feel. In bigger companies and publicly traded companies, they then pay data analysts to produce data analyses that support those decisions, to CYA. In order to accomplish that, you don't need this tool, you just need vanilla SQL.

The successful (LLM) tool would essentially have the business decision maker write a prompt that says: "I want to do X. Write me a report using this dataset that supports my decision". Yes?
It does. But after a while, reposts are allowed through. That's on purpose, because want good articles to have multiple chances at getting attention.

The reason for posting lists of previous discussions is not to boo reposts—I hope that's clear! It's to point curious readers in the direction of additional interesting comments.
USB PHYs aren't the same thing as display controller IP blocks. It's obviously possible to design a chip with more of the former than latter. At the hardware level, nothing is actually an arbitrarily-subdividible budget of display bandwidth.

Hey! Welcome, valued visitor! You’ll notice I don’t appear to have a doorbell. Don’t worry, this is for your convenience and mine.

If I’m out and about you’ll be able to contact me, and I can tell you that I’m unable to answer the door right now but I value your visit.

All in real time!

Let’s get started: simply solve the puzzle below. The solution will let you work out the code to unlock the box next to my door.

When you unlock the box scan the QR code inside, which will allow you to connect to my WiFi guest network.

Once you’re connected scan the second QR code to open the virtual doorbell selector. You can then select the appropriate message for your visit.

Unable to connect?

Simply knock on the door and wait. If I’m home I’ll surely answer soon enough. If I’m not home or don’t want to be disturbed you should use your own judgement: if it’s urgent trying shouting through the letterbox, or maybe wait a while and then return later!
Yes it’s quite a stretch. Occam says that it clearly comes from All Hallows’ Eve/Day (Nov 1st). Hallow just means “to make holy”, so the day of all who where made holy, or All Saints Day.

Not sure how they justify the connection to the dutch. There is a town called “Haelen” in Limburg or “Hale” in the local dialect. And “wijn” just means wine, as in the drink. It’s quite a plausible surname pattern and a total coincidence, not even a very close one. Although it is quite a spooky tale, fair enough.
Another lens to look at Shopify is through the publicly traded email marketing company Klaviyo, which tends to be the default email platform for smb’s.

Yes, but I'm not sure that the job is to 'change the world' - I don't want to fend off those who think they know what I need. I think it's more about changing oneself to align with what one finds here, whilst trying to remain true to oneself.
Aha, so not much need. I've always avoided SQLite for larger databases due to the extra space needed to allow compaction, maybe not a real problem in most applications though.
How can an algorithm determine whether content is political or not? Sure you can naive filter for a list of political urls but it won't catch most of them.
Is the steak dinner and alcohol-fueled (and I'll throw in golf) contract negotiation real? I keep hearing about it on HN comments but my experience with enterprise sales has been almost the complete opposite. Lots of meetings on Zoom and occasionally a drink at industry events.
Man, I do really miss these postmortems on HN. We used to see several a month back when the site was more startup-focused. Great read! Don't want to dogpile with criticism, I'd just suggest brushing yourself off and trying again (heck, after multiple failures, I still am!).
They're also thinking about tapping into small-scale "mom and pop" shops, with lots of "AI"-augmented services, like customer support, translation, seo, marketing copy and so on. If they find a good price-point for that, they could bring in a lot of revenue from that side as well. They control lots of entry points for a lot of users, between fb, insta, whatsapp and so on.
yes, msn did; I hadn't found that yet when I wrote it, because I'd been expecting he'd be publishing in the same journals as, say, your fellow Ithacan Dexter Kozen.

(I'm not trying to sell Jesus or Christianity; I'm just talking factually about the text of the Gospels. For those unfamilar - the Gospels are the first four books of the New Testament, in which the authors describe Jesus' actual words and life, often quoting Jesus. The rest of the New Testament is other people's responses to about Jesus and Christianity.)

As I understand it: Humans are complicated, as Jesus depicted them. They are both terminally weak and flawed, and there is also good and justice and mercy in them - the many angels of our natures. Jesus ministered to the weak and flawed, not the good and just, certainly not to the perfect. It's a message of love to people who sin, which is pretty much everyone; Jesus didn't expect differently. His message was to love the sinners and for the sinners to accept his love.

All human institutions are flawed and to a degree corrupt; they are run by sinners. I'm not defending the Catholic Church or any church or religion, my point is that if we throw out the good when there are flaws, major flaws, we are left with nothing. Not even ourselves.
What? That makes zero sense, how do you figure that Disney, which makes a tremendous amount of money on licensing it's IP and is always fighting to strengthen and lengthen copyright would actually be better off if we did the opposite of what they've been fighting for for the last 100 years?
When I was a teenager, my parents weren't particular involved in my educational choices nor my career plans. I was mostly left to my own devices. Despite this, I was very much aware of the tradeoffs in the educational path I was choosing.

Perhaps it's because I didn't grow up wealthy, but the financial facet of both my education and eventual career was front and center for myself and my friends.

It would have been nice for the adults in my life to have told me these things, but a competent 16-19 year old is also plenty able to ascertain these things themselves.
Yes it's silly to talk about first mover advantage in sub 3 years. Maybe in 2026 we can revisit this question and see if being the first mattered.

First mover being a general myth doesn't mean being the first to launch and then immediately dominating the wider market for a long period is impossible. It's just usually means their advantage was about a lot more than simply being first.
I don't recall websites off the top of my head, but the build of the Ombi iOS app at the time had some buttons at the bottom that were not the correct size/shape on smaller screens.

From the standpoint of apps and websites in general, they'd often lay out okay, but information density or arrangement of page elements was often sub-par. Wasted horizontal space was common, with things being squeezed and taller than they ought to be.

The problem isn't that stuff is outright _broken_, but more that even with a responsive layout, the experience isn't good because it's just not designed for that small of a screen.
Yeah, but Mistral brews a mean cup of tea, and Llama's easily the best at playing hopscotch.
Exactly. I mean, I understand that 45+ minutes to deploy something that takes less than a minute to build is obnoxious, but the pipeline is not always there to only build the app. Deploying in 10 seconds means no safeguards and that you can send broken code to production. And pipelines are about automation too. Having a sane pipeline that will check formatting, linting, test, build and deploy quickly to a server is not that hard.
Well, if you don't care for production being down for a couple of minutes, fine, do the "10 second deployment". But, at least for me, even in really small projects, it doesn't make any sense.
Asahi Linux has changed that equation for M1/M2 mac minis. I'm sure M4 will be supported soon.
It’s a major security/privacy issue, you don’t want to tell world+dog all registered users, especially since that’s typically an email address.

Huge, huge, massive “no no”.

Likewise you still have to do sever side validation as any client side code can be modified, or you can just send payloads directly to the server. IMHO client side form validation is dangerous as it gives a false sense of security.
At my old company we used to git pull and do make install on the prod server.

Now I have to file an exceptions for a found buffer overflow vulnerability in libfdisk1 identified in my miminal container image running in a locked down, read only container context. Because ITSac has processes for it.
In my experience with gaming on Macs, even when there is a native Mac port of a particular game, the experience is inferior to Windows more often than not. Many of them don't do 4K properly, for example (you get everything rendered at half-res in fullscreen). Things like Cmd+Tab don't work reliably, either.
If spoilers are so bad for you, you should probably look at the submitted link before reading the comments.
From the article: "We will be chiefly concerned with the middle game and will not
consider the end game at all."

The effect of having the checkmate rule instead of capturing the king is allowing the possibility of stalemates. But stalemate is rare in the middle game, where there are usually many legal moves available, so it's simpler to pretend the goal is just to capture the king.
Hosting is annoyingly expensive. ping latency between us-east-1 and ap-southeast-1 is 230ms. So you either setup shop in one location or go multi-region (which adds up).

Also, there are many environments (especially when you travel) where your phone is not readily connected.
My colleague was transported to mental health institution with an escort of police straight from the office. And was kept there for 2 weeks. People are treated like trash by other people. I don’t want to think about industrial animal farming. It’s probably the worst of the worst.
Pretty sure this specific thing is under similar restrictions on macOS.
It is impossible to accurately interpret with a max 5 second delay. The structure of some languages requires the interpreter to occasionally wait for the end of a statement being the start of interpretation is possible.
On one hand, we have HNers telling us that AGI is already here.

On the other hand, we think that we can't effectively classify the majority of posts.

I see zero evidence of this.
Honestly, it rarely happens in English other than in contrived examples used to demonstrate the concept.
Ask HN: Software Only ESIM?
Hi. I need to receive several thousands of SMS to several thousand of numbers and the devices on the market to help with this are pretty expensive and buggy (I'm told).

Is there a software-only eSIM implementation, which could be used together with an SDR to put 100+ sims online (ideally several thousand) at the same time to receive incoming text messages? Thanks
Very cool to see this implemented. I had a similar idea to build a timeline-based site like this where people could create their own timelines to share, and not just for journalism.

One idea I had that you might be thinking about already is making it possible to create different versions of timelines. That is, if I see a timeline, I could fork it and make my own copy that I could edit, i.e. remove some entries if it I'm trying to highlight key events or add my own observed events. That way, you wouldn't necessarily need to reach a consensus on a specific timeline, but you could still trace the lineage of different versions of timelines.

In terms of UX, I thought something similar to https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/ would be a good starting point to allow for lots of information on the page.

Looking forward to seeing how this site develops! Best of luck.
Is this with newer Apple Silicon Macs? My 2020 M1 Mac Mini looks unremarkably normal on my 1440p display. I'm also going between that and my 14" M1 Pro Macbook Pro, which of course looks beautiful but doesn't really make the 1440p on the Mini 'bad'.

Edit: Adding that both of these machines are now running macOS 15.1 at this time.
Pranking is a legitimate concern. What do you reckon the worst case scenario to be and what do you reckon are reasonable pranks?
Good comment. I looked up "nexii" out of curiosity, and it appears that "nexuses" is the appropriate plural, FYI.
Given that Hotmail is now Outlook.com, maybe that's a bad example.
Yes, though that relies on the product being fairly popular and for the chip to be stable for a while for it to be a useful source. Mac Studio NAND chips aren't going to be readily available from them unless they happen to be a shared part from a more popular device.
