These are some I had over the last few months actually;

"I can't save outside of onedrive"

"My mails aren't getting delivered"

"My office suite has deactivated itself and won't reactivate"

"We need a shared mailbox for x,y,z"

"The new joiner can't access my onedrive/shared drive" (No groups/auto-groups - they require some more advanced administration or discipline).

"I received an email from someone impersonating the CEO asking for an invoice to be paid immediately"

"My Excel sheet is somehow not syncing to onedrive and now there's conflicts"

FD: We don't use Teams, and we migrated from o365 to GSuite, but there are some people who remain on o365 for Office reasons.
On Youtube I really like the auto-generated captions and often prefer them to the creator's because:

- Sometimes the creator bases their captions on the script and misses changes in edit

- Sometimes the creator's captions are perfect transcriptions but broken up and timed awkwardly

Auto-generated captions aren't always perfect but unlike human captions provide word-by-word timing.

Show HN: Hall of Prompts
I've been seeing a lot of screenshots of ChatGPT and Gemini chats floating around the internet, but it's hard to know what's real and what's not.

That was the inspiration behind Hall of Prompts - it's an HN-style website to share verified AI chats. No screenshots are supported, only direct links to AI Chat applications that support sharing.

I'm hoping it can help shed some light on interesting use cases of AI chat applications.

> In the 80s some people also said that our whole world energy would go to computations in the future. And look today.

Today we consume twice as much energy as we did in the 80s (and that's mostly coming from an increase in fossil fuels consumption). Datacenters alone consume more than 1% of global energy production, that doesn't include the network, the terminals, and the energy necessary to produce all of the hardware.
Yet another classic garbage-in-garbage-out expected from AI gen subtitles. But it is an excellent undertaking nevertheless. Will help improve viewership in general
Yes, I agree that pushing the E-stop button is not free of risk. But it's a risk under the control of the person who will suffer most of the consequences.
"Sign in to continue" - as you are new to HN I can tell you that is a big stopper right there.
The car should have an option to stop, let the passenger & baggage out, then resume its search for a parking spot. Or leave altogether since it no longer needs to be in the airport parking lot.

Still, typical of poorly designed software.

Does Microsoft make money from consumer gaming OS sales? Is there an onroad from that market to others -does there enterprise sales rely on gamers getting jobs and demanding microsoft? I think the author vastly overestimates how much of a market this actually is.
>Valve still restricting the OS to their hardware.

This is changing very soon - Lenovo announced the Legion Go S at CES 2025, and it will ship with SteamOS.

It wouldn't decide whether it's safe to stop. A separate E-stop processor would have a preprogrammed stop routine that stops the vehicle as fast as it can stop safely, which is to say, without skidding and without making rear-end collisions inevitable if you're on the freeway.
Seems more like a competitor to the Nintendo Switch than to anything that would run Windows.
Didn't do it for me while in Europe. I thought it might behave differently if I pretend to be from the US using a VPN etc. Nope. Searched "Google" both times, didn't happen either time.

Were the doors locked, or could he have just opened one and gotten out at any time (obviously when it was going slowly) ? It just seems irresponsible to lock someone inside a car, but then if they weren't, then he wasn't exactly "trapped"
It can change really quickly too, with the top contenders coming from new countries. For example Polish population changed in 2001 from "what's skijumping?" to "skijumping is the new national sport" just because Adam Małysz won many medals and has a fun personality.
Hey Anirudh, Stagehand looks awesome, congrats. Really love the focus on making browser automations more resilient to DOM changes. The act, extract, and observe methods are super clean.

Not 'too old' as in having lived many years but 'too old' as in 'past expiry date' but apart from that it would be good to see a younger generation - but not too young, old enough to have gained enough experience to view things from all sides but young enough to have skin in the game - take over from the current crop but that is set to happen after Trump disappears in 4 or fewer years. Vance will have gained experience and is close to the age bracket which I prefer to see in these positions - a bit young but given 4 years he'll do - and I assume the 'democrats' [1] will come up with a better alternative than what they have brought to bear in the last decennium or so. The Republicans need opposition just like the 'democrats' need it, especially given the fact that Trump has 'nothing to loose' because he can not stay on after this period.

[1] if and when that party gets rid of the autocracy which is the current DNC I may return to writing their name capitalised and without quotation marks but as long as that is not done the label does not fit the contents and those quotation marks are necessary in the spirit of 'truth in advertising'.
Today it is driving in circles, tomorrow it is spinning in circles, next month all your doors lock up in 100 degree heat and your phone dies while you wait for support to pick up. Undefined behavior is undefined behavior.
>What models are new enough to consider?

Depends on really what do you want to do. For just data storage, NAS, pretty much anything goes. If you want to run VMs, Docker etc. you want something newer. Personally I use Optiplex Micro 3080 with i5-10500T. That was 270€ refurbished.

>Do any of these support ECC ram

No, as far as the Dell, Lenovo, HP mini PCs goes.

>And would you say mirrored ZFS is good enough for home use?

Yes but reading your use case you probably don't want a mini PC. You can only have 1x 2.5" SSD and 2x NVMe SSD. A single 8TB NVMe SSD is currently 1000€ and you would need two. Unless you want something smaller of course.
> Fencing is hard to follow because its fast and movements are subtle.

Which, if anything, is great a case for instant replay and slo-mo.

Football is often also quite hard to follow, but it brings in so much money that we've just solved that problem with technology.
The point is, it's still driving entirely safely.

The headline is clickbait -- the car absolutely was not "spinning in circles".

It was driving around a parking lot multiple times.

I agree that clarity would be appreciated -- since this seems to be a routing issue, if the car explained it couldn't find a spot to stop so it was going around again. But of all the problems a self-driving car could have, safely repeating a loop around a parking lot is about as benign as you can get.
Easier access to SteamOS images for generic HW also appears to be in the works:

> Ahead of Legion Go S shipping, we will be shipping a beta of SteamOS which should improve the experience on other handhelds, and users can download and test this themselves. And of course we'll continue adding support and improving the experience with future releases.

Or you can get a community distribution with the same set of packages with +/- QoL patches or a different base: ChimeraOS or Bazzite.
> "Olympians" representing their countries.

Maybe. But they don't represent the people in their countries. Paying them is not a matter of taxation, I don't care about watching sports (but I do sports) and I never watch, I don't see myself represented in any way and I am not willing to pay for the "honor" or being "represented". In the end the article is about money: who should pay, why, how much? Not the tax payer.
NUCs are underrated IMHO. I picked up a NUC7 mid-2020, mounts on a VESA plate behind my monitor, used for media, fileshare, general Linux tinkering and VMs. Zero problems (except for a secondary disk failure last year, spinning rust type).

Nice to see Asus have finally started doing something with them.

I see there's lots of competition (or at least, lots of options) in that space now.

> There's an art to subtitling that goes beyond mere speech-to-text processing.

Agreed.

> Sometimes it's better to paraphrase dialog to reduce the amount of text that needs to be read.

Hard no. If it’s the same language, the text you read should match the text you listen to. Having those not match makes parsing confusing and slow.

> Sometimes you need to name a voice as unknown, to avoid spoilers.

Subtitles don’t usually mention who’s talking, because you can see that. Taking the source of a voice is uncommon and not something I expect these system to get right anyway.
I keep wondering what the market for general purpose devices actually entails nowadays. We see more and more applications move to the web, which means your OS doesn't actually lock users in. The only things for which your OS really matters nowadays that I can think of are games, some productivity tooling like Adobe stuff, and legacy enterprise software.

The compatibility stack Steam has set up to run games also allows stuff like Photoshop to run, so that's also becoming less and less of a reason to remain on Windows.
Yeah, it'd be nice if we could all use 'open source' to mean 'open weights' + 'open training set', instead of just 'open weights'. I fear that ship has sailed though. Maybe call it a 'libre' model or something?
"only on foreign disinformation". Focusing on "internal disinformation" not "American speech" would have been the proper description.

As for that laughably partisan report from many of the politicians aligned with the biggest sources of American disinformation claiming their lies as political speech, nice pile of garbage.
Legitimate question: how do you expect an ML Engineer to have 10+ years of experience "building large-scale machine learning solutions and ML Ops practices"? ML in its current form (LLMs and modern vision models) only started being widely applied in companies about 5 to 7 years ago.
With most software I am immediately concerned about what other unforeseen problems might happen as soon as it seems like the system has entered some kind of un- or semi-handled failure state.
I don't think anybody's talking about translations.
Microsoft's cash cows are increasingly Office 365 and of course Azure. Everything that can serve as an Office 365 client OS is surely fine. A shrinking Windows operation may just save them money in the long run.
He said "I can't get out the car", which suggests otherwise.
The wealth inequality is the one I have been paying the most attention to. Having constantly lowered the taxes on the wealthiest it seems to be the one that is the most self-inflicted.

We could lapse into an era much like the Great Depression (where I suppose we will celebrate bank robbers?). Our future could look more like "Soylent Green" - most of us piled into tenement houses with armed guards on the stairs, braving the streets only for our weekly rations while the wealthy live secluded in high-rise luxury.

I worry too we'll become like I perceive Russia to have become — more or less an oligarchy run country where the proletariat merely grumble and get about their thread-bare existence. (I suppose, from the charts, we'll have our toys and TVs though!)

With 1/3 of the country having not even voted I would probably be more surprised if we end up with a French Revolution style future.

Feel free to set me straight, IANAH (not a historian) nor am I an economist or political scientist. Just a layman.
"Programmers all over the world helped make an American Dream happen in 2008
when we built Stack Overflow, a Q&A website for programmers creating a shared > Creative Commons knowledge base for the world. We did it democratically,
because that's the American way. We voted to rank questions and answers, and
held elections for community moderators using ranked choice voting. We built a digital democracy – of the programmers, by the programmers, for the
programmers. It worked."

I don't know if StackOverflow should be his legacy. The site has become very heavy handed in moderation. The satellite sites are better (not SuperUser or the other one).

What exactly is penalizing modest people? Paying people to strip is penalizing „modest people“ who don’t want to strip?
The reason that safety briefings on every single plane take-off is not because people might be flying for the first time- it's to reiterate important points to bury important information in your mind despite not using it.

Our brains are extremely good at getting rid of data that it thinks is not relevant, if you don't apply knowledge or information your mind will "optimise" it away. Hence, the infinite repetition.

The same is true here. If you're buying a raspberry pi just for hosting: it's foolish not to consider alternatives.

This is important for two reasons, and less important for a third.

1) It free's up supply of rPIs for people who will actually use them for GPIO and education

2) It actually gives people a better, more wholistic experience, at a better price.

3) It forces people to consider the reason for purchase; instead of piling up some e-waste because the RPI was purchased for a yet unknown reason "I can use it for anything*".

As an ex pack a day smoker, realizing it doesn't really matter.

I wish the video didn't end so quickly, because I'm actually curious what exactly had to happen next. I'm guessing having active involvement in both the passenger in the car and the support staff is a feature, since you wouldn't want rogue support operators to be able to just bring cars to abrupt halts or worse, so if the robot driver is unable to pull over safely, it sort of makes sense to require at least some sanity checking from the passengers themselves.

Of course, it's reasonable to be frustrated, especially if you're in a hurry, but anyone who has been in a vehicle accident in an Uber or taxi will know that there's just some inherent risk involved when you're getting into a car with another driver, just as there is risk involved when getting into a car and driving yourself, and I think the idea that a robot driver could fail and get stuck is something that you just have to be mindful of and account for, the same way you have to be mindful of the risk of getting stuck on an elevator. Without seeing the remainder of the altercation it's hard to judge if Waymo's design is lacking for fallbacks here. Another question would be what can be done if the passenger can't access the Waymo app; would they have to jump into the driver's seat?
Sorry, I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave, you're drunk.
Another step closer to that one Sony patent being realized: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/sony-patent-mcdonalds/
I always think what's the actual benefit now of living in a "rich country" if everything is just more expensive? So if you live in the USA you'll maybe have a nicer car and nicer computer than someone in Poland, but otherwise it's all a wash and probably nicer in Poland. All the things that actually matter to quality of life are pretty much the same or even nicer in a poorer country?
They are suprisingly reliable - the only problem we repeatedly have is CMOS batteries draining if they are turned off during vacation period (happens for less than 5% of our rigs though).

As someone who tries to be compassionate, with an SO that is highly empathetic, the former is far better. She is often emotionally debilitated by being emotionally devastated by things happening to family, friends, strangers, news stories. I think it actually skews her ability to be compassionate, because she acts in shortsighted ways to attempt to relieve her proxy emotions, instead of taking a step back and finding a better solution to the person suffering. No one that is already empathetic should attempt to increase their empathy. A little goes a long way and you should work on building compassion, understanding, patience, etc.

Would be good to know if this is actually true. From a comment in the thread:

> Assuming that you tested that this happening only during commercials. When you google the issue, it seems like a lot of other people are saying that it unmutes in general after 5 seconds, which matches what happened to you from the video.
Valve does still provide official support for Steam, even if you run it on a different set of HW or distribution.

Not providing official support for random hardware seems reasonable. Neither do Microsoft nor Apple.
It's a bit big for my hands as well, but the huge touch screen is amazing for programs like sunvox so I don't even mind.

I think it's hard to genuinely appreciate how big the thing is until you hold it. Today I realized it's exactly the same size as my keyboard. And almost as wide as a 12-inch macbook.
This is such a good point, i've had similar thoughts before. That basically after the "middle income" level countries don't really get "better" they just get more expensive and more developed (which to be sure does have some positive impacts)
This is the futurist that cannot figure out how to stop a Waymo from the app – https://mikejohns.ceo

There was no emergency! The car wasn't "spinning", it was just driving around a parking lot and failing to find a location to stop. This was a navigation failure, not a control failure. And the solution is to call the human operators who can control it remotely. Which is what happened, and they did. Pulling an "emergency stop" level would have made things worse and not better.

Is it embarassing for Waymo? Sure. But the BBC basically lied to you here, and you bought it. The circumstance you're imagining is not what happened. Just watch the video.
That does sound right. But imagine we're plotting the cost of a laptop from 2015 to 2025. We're getting say 4x the memory and 4x better speed (if not more), but would we show a graph that indicates laptops are 4x cheaper in 2025 than 2015? I wouldn't.
> Microsoft don't give a rat's ass about operating systems since ages

I think Microsoft sees Azure as its future, not Windows, and would be generally happy for people to use a thin cloud client rather than an expensive-to-support general-purpose OS. But we are where we are, thankfully. How long it will stay that way, idk.

As for VS - yes its annoying but you can turn all that stuff off.
And the slot will be reallocated.

I won’t say no harm but you have to be pretty desperate to try to pull this off
There is a better than even chance that you are correct. :-)
I’m torn. If waymo can remote control drive the security implications….

Maybe the solution is a car rental service where the car drives to you, you drive where you want to go, then just leave the car.

In Boston anyway navigating pickup/ drop off at the airport is tricky for people.

Courts typically do not care as much about what an expert witness thinks, as rather why they think it - and whether their reasons hold up enough that the conclusions they support should be accepted.

The thing is that the benefits ps SteamOS extend to other distros.

Once Proton made it feaaible to easily play most Windows games on Linux, I could transition to Mint and not look back. Gaming is what kept me shackled to Windows.

I always thought that there were some things that kept people on Windows, and the main ones are Office and Gaming. Nowadays the latter is not an issue anymore.
