> Any evidence that benefits ARM and harm Qualcomm in this case has been completely ignored on HN.

This feels like beating around the bush.

Can you give examples or citations of “evidence that benefits ARM and harm[s] Qualcomm,” so that we on HN may avoid completely ignoring it? Otherwise it feels like we’re doomed to tilt at windmills in your view, but we have no way of knowing how to disabuse ourselves of notions you only vaguely gesture at.

Yes people seem happy to buy not only new phones every couple of years but new accessory devices as well. I don't understand it but it's quite apparent.
Everyone keeps mentioning at scale. I seriously doubt this was an "at scale" problem. I have strong suspicion this was a failure at the origination point being able to push a stable signal. That is not an "at scale" issue, but a hubris of we can do better/cheaper than broadcasting standard practices

You make a good point. It was kind of the breaking point for me when Apple killed 32-bit executables, because it meant even old steam stuff couldn't run.

But that's a casual consumer viewpoint. It's valid to buy them if they solve your problems in the here-and-now. (I used one for a year at work and it was a bad experience, but a lot of that was having x86 libraries I had to use, so... Bad choice for here-and-now.)
Show HN: Create and Run a Team of Web Research AI Agents with a Prompt
Hi everyone. We have been building a system that lets users create a team of AI web research agents from a simple chat interface. We just launched a free beta of the service and would love some feedback. It’s capable of web research right now. Think topics, not bulk data mining. The backend uses frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic. Jobs take about 10 minutes to run. Let me know what you think. Thanks! michael@soaringtitan.com more info at https://soaringtitan.com/labs/team-of-ai-agents
CI is the big one, or similar testing against older versions for backwards compatibility. Usually good enough to just compile for it on MacOS, but sometimes we get a surprise in a third party library or something that only shows up on an older release.

Troy's site isn't actually handling the user's real password to check, its doing a lookup of hashes to see if a similar hash is there. The password and final hash checks never leave the client side. Still a lot of trust involved in a site like that, and yeah he encourages you use the API to do the comparisons yourself.

This is actually uploading all the information to the backend and storing it in a database. Like a page that is asking for a service URL, a username, a password, a TOTP secret, sending it all to the server, and having the server check if the credentials have been pwned and saving it all.
I also own a Deck OLED and I have to disagree on the polish. When I first got it, there were so many little issues with compatibility, crashes, and straight up freezes, I even considered returning it. It got better since, but if you try to use anything but Steam games, it's death by 1000 papercuts.

Why do you want a headphone jack? Not a rhetorical question, just genuine interest. Is it about audio quality, avoiding batteries or something else?

I would find it so cumbersome to use a cable on a handheld device nowdays. But different things for different people! :)
No, the old versions would not have access to anything else, so the only thing that needs to change is the part running the container. Present one folder as the whole disk drive to the old. Send touch screen input to the old. That's about it really.
As a consumer, yes. Old steam games are a big deal.

In business... not where I work, but I hear stories of shops that still have lots of old 32-bit COM stuff, etc.

If you're building macOS apps, it's common to want to test them on all system versions you support. Especially so considering Apple's attitude towards backwards compatibility.
Because ARM is not a US company.
The English language has the habit of taking perfectly fine Latin words and pronounce them in the most unintuitive way.

Speaking of headphone adapters. It’s crazy to me that something like an iPod released in 2005 will output better audio when playing a lossless file than the most state of the art $2,000 iPhone with Apple’s most state of the art $549 headphones in 2024.

The remarkable thing is that 90% of listeners don’t seem to notice.

Their reference point is a lossy 128kb/s file from a streaming service double transcoded over bluetooth so that must be what music sounds like. Who would have thought technology would progress backwards.
Don't forget that with this two-step method, you also require enough diskspace to hold the entire ZIP archive before it's sharded.

AFAIK you can create a ZIP archive saved to floppy disks even if your source hard disk has low/almost no free space.

Every company is doing this now, and the rest are following suit.

No, they're not.

I recently read that 22% of the adults in my city are full time WFH. There aren't enough empty skyscrapers to absorb all those people if "every" company brought everyone back.

The company I work for remains committed to WFH. It's already sold the headquarters campus, and at least three campuses in other states are currently for sale.

Anyone who doesn't directly interact with clients is hired as WFH. There's no going back.

I don’t mind LLMs in the ideation and learning phases, which aren’t reproducible anyway. But I still find it hard to believe engineers of all people are eager to put a slow, expensive, non-deterministic black box right at the core of extremely complex systems that need to be reliable, inspectable, understandable…
My favorite thing is the "silent terminal" concept.

Most major airports if you arrive groggy at 5am waiting for your flight, you are blasted with a bunch of nonsense announcements that have nothing to do with your flight every 2-5 minutes "Keep your baggage with you at all times" "The USO is located...", etc. and in between the announcements loud music gets played. Trying to find a location away from a speaker is no good because there are speakers in the ceilings about every 10ft in a grid.

It surprised me when i visted SFO terminal 1 how much a quality of life improvement it is to just have silence in a public place.

I don't know a lot about networking. Where does this stand in the networking layers? Transport? Network?
To give a contrary opinion I think it's a beautiful world and an excellent gateway to one of our greatest mythologies. "The World Tree" is an aspect of human literary history.

I'm not an ESL so I can only imagine the difficulties but I do not think we should be robbing the world of beauty, history and nuance for the sake of business English. Few English speakers can spell or pronounce it correctly so it even becomes a shared difficulty.

Fun fact: several names of days of the week come from Norse mythology. Look up the names of the months if you want something more modern.
As I understand it, the placebo effect is seen in controlled trials that use a placebo, where both the drug under study, and the placebo, produce effects. To argue that a drug is effective, it has to be more effective than the placebo.

A completely separate issue is whether placebos should be used clinically.

It's hard to tell if the author is using either of those definitions.

>The article seems to be be based on the current limitations of LLMs. I don't think YC and other VCs are betting on what LLMs can do today, I think they are betting on what they might be able to do in the future.

Do we know what LLMs will be able to do in the future? And even if we know, the startups have to work with what they have now, until that future comes. The article states that there's not much to work with.
i know what you mean. my argument is that a personality difference that is so strong that it prevents you from participating in a group discussion must be caused by trauma.

group discussions are a requirement in our industry. if not wanting to talk to people is a mere choice then you should be looking for a job where you don't have to talk to people.

in my understanding, having difficulty or even just discomfort to talk in a group implies trauma. and they deserve any help we can offer. but if there is no trauma and they simply can't be bothered to make an effort to accommodate the group, then why should i make an effort to accommodate them?
Good compression should still be cryptographically distinguishable from true randomness right?

Sure the various measures of entropy should be high, but I always just assumed that compression wouldn't pass almost any cryptographic randomness test.
So that study uses limits set by consumer reports, it's a misrepresentation to use it to argue that water doesn't meet standards. And it's not clear if they included private wells (where things like arsenic levels may be naturally high).
This is one of the things I dislike about hacker news: People responding to what is clearly emotional hyperbole as though it were a literal statement.

The OP expresses disappointment with Apple -- exactly what the cause was is unstated. People are allowed to have such feelings. I've had them myself. In recent years, Apple has killed things I liked and pushed a lot of services/login crap I have zero interest in. Other people like the new changes. That's OK too.
All patches linked in the CVE refer to a Mellanox (these days owned by Nvidia) network card driver, in combination with IPv4 over IPv6 GRE.

I don't think that's a very common configuration but from what I can tell it does only affect Linux hosts connected to Mellanox/Nvidia network cards.
> remarkable thing is that 90% of listeners don’t seem to notice

That's not a remarkable thing, it's the reason.

(And out of the remaining 10%, a good fraction may notice but prefer the new convenience. Those who remain can find the difference between most and all, or go corded.)
“Aspirational sugar” is as common in startup culture as in Fortune 500 sales contracts, they’re just messaged and “de-risked” differently.
$128 is really pushing the limit for what seems like a kitsch novelty. Were it a third of the price, I could see myself picking it up for my watch aficionado friend.
It's not nearly like that, it's designed that you can build your own, separate networks, before the concept of internet providers even existed (and a few colleges and DoD were the only users). It is completely decentralized (with the exception of DNS, which can be decentralized easily, but isn't).

Setting up networks is easy and cheap. the expensive part is pulling cables and connecting people, that's why many countries have the local governments do that. If you live in an apartment building, you can easily create a separate network for all the apartments. If you want to connect to the next building, you'll need a lot more cables and someone to actually dig in the cable or erect the poles and use those to carry the cable... but who will pay for that? What if you want to connect to the next city over... who will pay for the cabling, digging etc? And of course, the paperwork? Underseas cable? Good luck with that.

It's not a protocol problem, it's a cost problem.
Honestly, why is that a problem for a hobbyist? As long as it is not paid tooling, something being or not being open-source is mostly personal preference. I'm not interested in the source code of the Arduino compiler.
Amen. I didn't understand why Apple is one of the only companies that gets to break backward compatibility, and escape all blame when stuff breaks. It always seems to be put on the software developer to update with whatever Apple's new requirements are, even when it's older software (or ancient)!

One of the consistent problems I'm seeing over and over again with LLMs is people forgetting that they're limited by the training data.

Software engineers get hyped when they see the progress in AI coding and immediately begin to extrapolate to other fields—if Copilot can reduce the burden of coding so much, think of all the money we can make selling a similar product to XYZ industries!

The problem with this extrapolation is that the software industry is pretty much unique in the amount of information about its inner workings that is publicly available for training on. We've spent the last 20+ years writing millions and millions of lines of code that we published on the internet, not to mention answering questions on Stack Overflow (which still has 3x as many answers as all other Stack Exchanges combined [0]), writing technical blogs, hundreds of thousands of emails in public mailing lists, and so on.

Nearly every other industry (with the possible exception of Law) produces publicly-visible output at a tiny fraction of the rate that we do. Ethics of the mass harvesting aside, it's simply not possible for an LLM to have the same skill level in ${insert industry here} as they do with software, so you can't extrapolate from Copilot to other domains.

> I think many people on HN would be surprised at how many orgs are using Windows servers heavily, because of their familiarity and comfort with Microsoft, or because some application requires it.

I think most HN readers are well aware that there are a lot of Windows servers out there, especially in the sorts of environments where it's "The Server".

That doesn't change the fact that there are orders of magnitude more Linux servers in the world, and as the post you replied to said Linux is the default assumption. Basically every container and the vast majority of VM guests are Linux. I'd be willing to bet that more Linux servers have been deployed in the time it took me to type this post than Windows servers will be deployed this week.
Of course to make this strawman argument you have to ignore the previous comment that says you can do wired connections just over a different port type.

Let’s also ignore any understanding of the DAC quality between older iPods and newer iPhones, where even the dongle Apple sell are considered a high quality DAC.

Let’s also ignore any advances in Codecs in that time, or advances in audio hardware itself.

Let’s also ignore that most iPod users would have bought low quality MP3s or medium quality AACs at the time. Not to mention that most customers use streaming today so wouldn’t even be able to take advantage of the higher quality codecs today.

Finally let’s ignore customer preferences and what niche set of customers would have bought high end enough audio equipment and have the hearing to appreciate and also not want wires today to even fall into your narrow band description.

Who would have thought that if you ignore all aspects that are inconvenient to an argument that you could make any argument you want?
I find it very practical with small Bluetooth earbuds, but I agree on the consumption aspect of it. I really don’t like that I can’t change the batteries in my AirPods. I would even be semi-okay with having to hand in them to a technician for battery exchange, for a reasonable cost. But the current battery exchange for airpods is just another name for buying new earbuds. And the third party solutions that actually change the batteries cost about as much as new buds.
Because they want to check on the wire, before it hits an endpoint.

You forgot about the streaming case. ZIP creators can stream the archive out and never seek back earlier in the stream (send the data to another tool or a write-only medium).

The central directory at the end of the archive fits that constraint. Any design where a placeholder needs to be updated later won't.

I'm also wondering how you intend to manage the tagging into categories without human curation, given the infinite reuploads of the same file, with different tags, which have nothing to do with the content at all, they are just clickbait.
I did read all your detailed comments. They only mentioned time cycles but no other details. The reason i linked to couple of my previous comments is because i listed more details there to think about and investigate.

For example, i list Diet and separately also Gut Health to consider. One of the key neurotransmitters affecting sleep is Serotonin which we now know to be mostly produced in the intestines. The Gut and Enteric Nervous System are known as "The Second Brain" (see book of the same name by Michael Gershon) and can act independently of the central nervous system. So one cause might be your gut is not producing enough Serotonin. On the Diet side Serotonin is made from Tryptophan so another cause might be your diet does not contain enough Tryptophan. For the lack of natural sunlight (SAD is well known) you might want to consider Vitamin-D and Melatonin supplements (but only after consulting with a doctor) and use one of those fancy lamps that mimic sunlight frequency ranges.

As i pointed out, Circadian science is holistic so you need to take various factors into account both individually and in combinations to narrow down the problem. There are various scenarios to try out and see what makes a significant difference. While the science is solid the nuances are very important to consider.
Just to offer a potentially interesting anecdotal data point (or depending on your interpretation, three data points) I have had three IN-18 tubes running pretty much 24/7 on the same three digits since 2008.

My friends and I put it together in a box as a street address sign. It contains the minimum viable circuitry; there's no logic or surge protection of any kind. It lives plugged into an AC outlet and glows 342 from my bookshelf.

It looks awesome. IN-18 tubes are one of the biggest available. If you're going to use Nixie Tubes, my $0.02 is that you should always go for the most impressive ones available because you only live once.

The location is long gone, but every passing year I am more impressed with the longevity of these tubes. If there's a takeaway from this story, it's that in my lived experience, cycling the digits to increase longevity is almost certainly more mythology than necessity.
If they have a website then it should work out of the box! Curious why you thought of sports teams though?
