I was thinking more about "tossing a salad" type vibrations that get high enough to completely get all the particles airborne, possibly with some sort of mechanical structure above the mixture interfering with the mixing. If you just vibrate everything in-place then all the smaller particles will obviously just fall to the bottom.

I got curious and found https://making.com/equipment/high-frequency-vibratory-mixer, but that is for liquids and not for solids.

I agree generally with what you're saying but feel you were all over the place in your comment.

The killer app on the iPhone was not "making calls" — I suspect instead it was Safari, the other 1st party apps, the touch screen and the slick integration of all of that to make it a no-brainer device that even my mom and dad could use (they were approaching their 70's when the iPhone debuted).

Your analogy that ChatGPT (or LLMs generally) are more akin to the Mac feels close to the mark to me. Your comment about the Mac's killer app, desktop publishing, suggests that LLM's killer app will follow, just hasn't arrived yet.

The analogy is a little shaky though since, some would argue, it was the laser printer (plus the Mac) that kicked off desktop publishing.
I've never fully understood this voice in the 'ed thing. Does anyone with internal dialogue have schizophrenia? Or is this literal, auditory voice, indistinguishable from actual voice?

Also, there's old technology in the wild capable of doing this[1] and I'd not be surprised to see it eventually become more easily available as hardware decreases in cost. It's already on the 'table' for advertisment purposes, albeit not microwave based.

Yes, you do. Which is why wait staff prefer it when you tip in cash. That makes it a lot easier to hide.

Though that doesn't always work. A lot of places pool tips. Everybody puts their tips together and it's distributed as part of your paycheck -- and the IRS knows about it.
Mill Build Tool Issue Bounties
I agree with you completely. I am confident on my ability to work in both JS and TS (or PHP, or Ruby, or [insert language here]), in the end they are tools, and what defines the quality of a candidate is much more broad and sometimes nuanced.

I'd love to get the perspective of someone hiring for roles where TS-experience is a strong requirement, especially if they ever had experience hiring devs with JS-only experience for senior roles.
If the confounders are fat-tail distributed etc. then arbitrarily large samples can still be inadequate.

The idea that even thousands a data points in subgroups are going to be 'well mixed' relies on extremely strong assumptions about the distribution of those traits.
No, you misunderstand what capital is.

> While money itself may be construed as capital, capital is more often associated with cash that is being put to work for productive or investment purposes. In general, capital is a critical component of running a business from day to day and financing its future growth.

What you're espousing is the outdated view of the Labour Theory of Value. To see why this is wrong, imagine a bottle of grape juice that gets forgotten, which turns into wine and gains value. Yet no work was put into it.

Just once I'd like to see an article like this from someone who's not currently working on an AI tool (some sort of Khan Academy tutor in this case)
> If you don’t know how your product will be adopted, how would your customers know?

I feel like this is both correct and incorrect at the same time, possibly because it’s almost a catch-22.

With any online product at all, not just SaaS, the way your customers use your product may end up entirely different than how you planned your product to work.

Of course, it’s important to have a direction to begin with, but I feel like analyzing how your customers use your tools and adjusting rapidly to that instead of sticking to what you wanted to build in the first place is what makes or breaks a lot of startups.

Take that with a grain of salt though, I’ve still never launched a product with an ROI greater than the value of the time I put into it.

The Inquisition operated in the Spanish Empire as well, but in any case, the point is moot. 12 people per year, on average, were executed by the Inquisition. It was not the bloodbath that anti-Catholic propaganda pretends it is. If Texas killed 60 people per year, we would not make it out to be some appalling example of state-sanctioned mass murder. Neither is the Inquisition.
Party registration is uninteresting at scale as it just determines whether someone is the left or right half of the bell curve. It doesn't tell you if they're in the fat part or the long tail or what issues they care deeply about.

The feds are very interested in cataloging who does and doesn't have extremist views (the long tail). Militant commies, 3%ers, stuff like that. And once some bit of iconography is identified they can run a historical search to see who had it before it went mainstream enough for the feds to pick up on it.

While it's fashionable to denigrate extremists pretty much every useful and/or positive political movement starts out there at some point.
Ah, so we talking about two different things here:

a) with any given UI design, distinguishing if it's implemented using native UI framework or with Flutter

b) Flutter app providing 100% indentical look&feel to Cupertino/MaterialDesign/WinForms/Cocoa/etc.

I was talking about a). Assuming that the app developer wants to have a consistent app design across platforms, which probably came from a design department – there is virtually no way to distinguish. Ultimately, it's just a bunch of pixels spit out onto the framebuffer.

Show HN: Challenge your friends to anything. The catch: you put $$ on the line
Hey everyone, I built this IRL game where you can challenge a small group of friends to anything that requires consistency. Ex) exercising, meditating, reading, studying, etc. You can define your own rules and everyone “checks in” with photo uploads to prove their progress.
The catch is that everyone pays money into a pot to join. Then at the end, only the people who succeed at the challenge get to split the pot. This was purposefully done to ensure everyone has skin in the game, and keep the challenges maximally engaging.
P.S. there’s also “roulette” mode, where your group will get a random challenge assigned.
Choose the quarter pounder in all of the photos…
I think the disconnect here is in the interpretation of “more important.” Usability is more important than branding from the point of view of the victims of this kind of over-designed software, the end users. Because they are already being inflicted with a lot of branding, please at least give them conventional error messages.
WSJ had a great write-up that was very interesting about the plans Ballmer was trying to get rolling. I really gained additional respect for him after reading this.

He wanted to overhaul the company, but realized people would struggle doing so while he was in charge. He realized sometimes you have to let someone else do it.

I don't know how far back "back in the day" is, but the UK sources below seem to show that alcohol (particularly spirits)[1] seemed to be quite popular in the late 1800s[0], and that in the 1550s it was Ale, 1650s it was Gin, 1750s saw a drop during the industrial revolution.

Before that, who knows?

> This approach has given us the oft-repeated (but slightly fallacious) line that 'correlation does not imply causation' (I would say that it can imply it, just often not much more).

I always thought that this expression used the word "imply" in its mathematical sense, i.e. "correlation is not a sufficient condition for causation". Did I get that wrong, or did the author?
It's amazing how Shannon contributed to almost everything important to understanding computers at all levels. He contributed to information theory (thus communication, error correction and compression), digital circuits (Master's thesis), Artificial Intelligence (not exhaustive: this paper, Theseus), cryptography and even circuit complexity!

As well known as he is for information, sometimes I think the breadth of his contributions to the foundations of computing are not fully appreciated.
Without saying "why", and substantiate it with data or facts, your comment is simply useless.
Yes. I feel like you are not understanding anything about what these investments entail.

A struggling apartment complex property in an up an coming area is purchased and I put money into that deal. I am only say 100 or 200K of an otherwise ~10 million investment. The complex is massively overhauled, new facilities are built, units are completely refurbished, the on-site staff are replaced, bad tenants not paying are evicted, and new vetted tenants are found. The whole place is re-branded and then after all this is complete is sold for a substantial profit. All while making income from rents during the time the property is held.

It's a LOT of work. Not by me as I am just an investor, but by the managing partners who spent months or longer searching or and analyzing the area and working with the bank for the loan and then doing all that work to completely overhaul the place.

When you find and invest with a management partner who has been doing this awhile and has a proven track record yes the returns are as good as I am saying.
What if I copy something but accidentally get another couple words one of which is a number. For example copying from a chat app and get the date with the message. Then my "Sep 24th 416-555-1234" input which, would have been very easy to fix, becomes 244-165-5512 34. It will take me a few seconds to realize what has happened, identify where the intended phone number starts and remove the accidentally pasted digits.

The nice thing about the native input is that it is very simple, predictable and flexible. It may be easier to make a better UX on the happy cases but it is very difficult to not add some suboptimal and confusing UX on the less happy cases. Often times it is best just to keep it simple so that the user can easily complete their task rather than adding some "magic" which may backfire and confuse users.

It is surprisingly often that I need to open a text-editor or clipboard-editor to format values before pasting them into apps or websites because they have broken an input field by trying to be magic and failing to consider anything but the happy cases and maybe one or two bad paths.
Other ways are writing a hit song, advertising jingle, a bestselling novel, a top selling video game. Ways not to get rich; a “better c” language and compiler?

I've been thinking about Nextcloud as well, but it seems a bit heavy-handed and wants control over my docker daemon, which I am not sure about.
I would argue that specific technologies changing is super relevant fact.

In 90's and 00's "everything Windows" made loads of sense for a company so being hard on any competition was the right thing. Also I don't see people saying it about MacOs you cannot do software to this day for MacOs or iOS without having actual device and operating system from Apple.

What changed for MSFT was that operating system in 2010's and forward became irrelevant. Cloud is where the money is and now MSFT is "all in Azure or nothing company", entire company is designed to promote Azure and O365.

To properly promote Azure they need to run Linux on that cloud and they need mind share of developers that will develop products using Azure - earlier they could force developers to use Windows because that was where software was running.
> We dont charge surgeons

We definitely do if they act in malice. "Do no harm" and all. I guess then it comes down to how stupid you think corporate leadership is.

IMO, most of the time they're not stupid. I don't think Tabacco executives genuinely though getting people hooked on nicotine was fine. Not to mention they did everything they could to make the occurrence of nicotine more potent...

> are you really OK with Gates or whoever making a $100M donation? do you really think corporate donations are somehow worse?

1. I'm not 100% okay with the ultra-wealthy influencing elections, because their interests are also at odds with the average American person (who is who your representatives should serve!), but:

2. I do think it's slightly better than corporations influencing elections. Bill Gates is still a person and probably doesn't advocate things that directly harm humanity. The same is not true for corporations - many of them literally exist solely to harm humanity (and make money in the process).
You got it. Hopefully the project continues it's slow growth trajectory.
This has nothing to do with houses.

You can't dispute that he is one of the most intelligent persons on the last few decades, what's the sense of talking about steroids and political affiliation?

some sets of problems I have right now (on the hardware / software side):

Hardware: It'd be great to have an open source plate gripper. I wrote a little bit about the general problem of transferring here - https://keonigandall.com/posts/transfer_problem.html . I have a uarm lite6, but wanted to investigate building an arctos robotic arm to move plates between machines. Just need the gripper! This is something I cannot do myself - I have software skills, and can build things with my hands, but have zero skills on designing new hardware.

Software: A lot more here, but depends on interests. I have some general life-improvements I'm looking at doing, but also some wild ideas that need prototyping
mariadb, mysql, pgsql, they all works like that: it's called "bin logs", "wal" or whatever. A record of everythings. Takes a lot of spaces.

When you have a TB-ish non-archival database, keeping those is a nogo. This is why they are thrashed, and custom logic is implemented for the data that actually needs auditing capabilities.

Databases are tools, you still need to work to tune them to your needs.

I'm not using "stupid" in the derogatory sense. I'm using it as a recognition of the skill/knowledge gap between technical and non-technical users.

To clarify, we get _asked_ by our users to implement fields that limit input to help them avoid mistakes. Our QA and UX teams agree. This isn't a unilateral engineering decision.
Definitely, producing open source works that would help me! Feel free to send me an email and we can talk about what makes sense to you. Also put some more above.
>precisely because it does not scale.

And that lack of scale means it has little mass monetization potential. It's actively hostile to weirdos just trying to make a buck. I don't get randos from who-knows-where trying to hawk their wares in my private group chats, so those recommendations actually carry weight.

> Many people would interpret that as "investors had no faith in Steve Ballmer and were delighted to see his back." Do you have a different interpretation?

You're 100% right. Starbucks just did something similar. I personally don't believe these jumps are warranted until the new CEO proves their ability to change the ship. It would be really interesting to hear from Microsoft insiders what changes were being made before the CEO changeover & what ones were heavily done by Satya.

> Also, you seem to be implying that the trial was some external event, and not directly the fault of Bill and Steve. That is not how most people felt at the time.

While many people may have felt they were being very anti-competitive at the time, the same standard has not been held to other companies or Microsoft much over the past 20 years in the United States.
It's not specific nor limited to javascript. The term "canvas" in this context is much older and seems to be used across many platforms.

Random examples from the (desktop) Java/Android/iOS world where the same semantics is used:

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/awt/Canvas.ht...

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Can...

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/SwiftUI/Canvas
Obviously, yes. For the exact same reason it's true for math homework, too!

Most code most people write is trivial in terms of semantics/algorithms. The hard bit is navigating the space of possible solutions: remembering all the APIs you need at the moment - right bits of the standard library, right bits of your codebase, right bits of third-party dependencies - and holding pieces you need in your head while you assemble some flow of data, transforming it between API boundaries as needed. I'm totally fine letting the AI do that - this kind of work is a waste of brain cycles, and it's much easier to follow and verify than to write from scratch.

How do you feel about editorials, or opinion pages, or pundits that always have a slant?
There is something a bit spooky about looking at a dead brain. To think that a person lived in that their entire life, and now it's just lying on a table not doing anything.

I guess that's true for whole bodies and all of their parts too, but something about the abstraction of removing the skin, bones, face, etc that we are used to interacting and distilling to the seat of consciousness and emotions makes it spookier.
This is not true at all.

Whitespace in filenames in general is difficult to deal with. Many, maybe most, programs get it wrong. It's not just about shell scripts, many GUI programs fail to handle those files properly too.
