In my experience not many OTG devices actually used (mini-/micro-)AB ports, instead using just normal (mini-/micro-)B ports. The adapters generally just used a (mini-/micro-)B plug with the id pin wired like an OTG A plug. This does mean you can technically connect these adapters to non OTG products, which the spec writers wanted to avoid, but this simply meant the adapter didn't work.

I also have some peripheral devices with a captive micro-B cable (with ID pin configured like like micro-A) that were specifically intended to be used with OTG compatible phones.

His experience mirrors mine. I'm happy he explicitly mentions search, when people have been shouting "this is not meant for search" for a couple years now. Of course it helps with search. I also love the tech for producing first drafts, and it greatly lowers the energy and cognitive load when attacking new tasks, like others are repeating on this thread.

I think at the same time, while the author says this is the second most impressive technology he's seen in his lifetime, it's still a far cry from the bombastic claims being made by the titans of industry regarding its potential. Not uncommon to see claims here on HN of 10x improvements in productivity, or teams of dozens of people being axed, but nothing in the article or in my experience lines up with that.

Yes, they're not the bad guys for making people respect their copyright (there have also been cases where Getty re-licensed public domain images and threatened people in similar ways, but that's a different matter).

Assuming they're the legitimate copyright holders, the shady part is increasing the price of the image on their website to make you pay more than what you should as soon as they notice the infringement - and threatening legal actions if you don't pay the image price

I reproduced in both Firefox on Windows 11 and Firefox on Debian.
The GoL example it loaded with seemed to be running way slower than I expected it to. It turns out that there's actually a `usleep(1000 * 100)` call in the code which was inserted to make it easier to see the output; the actual kernels execute quickly and take up very little GPU time.

When I looked at the profiler, I was confused to see that one worker thread was at 100% usage the whole time it was running. At first, I thought that maybe it was actually running the code via Wasm on the CPU rather than on the GPU like it said.

Instead, it turns out that the worker was just running `emscripten_futex_wait` - which as far as I can tell is implemented by busy waiting in a loop. Probably doesn't matter for performance since I imagine that's just for the sleep call anyway.

Altogether this is an incredibly cool tool. I'm sure there is some performance gap compared to native, but even so this is a extremely impressive and likely has a ton of potential use cases.

Europe isn't a monolith. Restaurant portions in the Balkans don't seem any smaller. Maybe even larger on average.

As a large man who exercises a lot I do refuse to patronize restaurants that serve tiny portions (unless I'm specifically intending to order multiple small plates for tapas or sushi or something). And you're exaggerating with the "3k calorie meal" thing. That rarely shows up on real restaurant menus. Most of them top out at around half that much for a regular entree and a customer would have to add beverages, appetizers, and dessert to reach 3k.

Interestingly enough, you can already use Bings settings to disable all the cruft on bing.com. If you do that, I think the majority of users would not know the difference between Google and Bing, other than a more pleasant search experience and fewer ads (or no ads, I'm currently see zero ads or trackers on bing.com without any ad blocker).

Seems hard to justify staying on Google, when Bing yields the same or better results, and less ads.

How would you imagine one could make driving better, aside from making public transit better? The best thing you could hope for if you feel like you need to drive within SF is to have as few other people feeling the need to drive within SF.

But wait, I have to ask: why do you live in SF?

Practically anywhere else in the US is cheaper and better for people who want to drive.

Very few other US cities are better for people who want to get around by other means.
A cynic of the large social media platforms might suspect they were deliberately underinvesting in their moderation workforce... so they could then justify doing away with the cost as soon as politically convenient.

At its base, moderation = time = money

Better quality moderation? More money.

The platforms would rather not carry that cost and therefore be more profitable. Convenient how that worked out.

My advice is to sleep on those kinds of improvements. Optimize things that are making your job/team's daily life more difficult, which directly translate into better WLB. You can sometimes knock significant hours-per-week off of your actual work done.

We are giving away this expertise for fractions of a penny, but companies react to market pressures. Let them spend the extra $36 million for not keeping up with it. When they offer incentives, then do the work.

Heck, maybe you can make an underhanded pitch to whatever cloud provider it was that you earned them millions by not fixing the issues.

Exactly - the price of that particular image switched to a higher tier just because they found a copyright infringement. This is the shady part. Back then I recall reading other threads about people in very similar situations.

I'm not terribly concerned with optimizing, honestly. I try and make decisions that I'm unlikely to regret, at least not for long term. Hurting someone, or not helping someone that I should have helped, are things that I end up really regretting, and those are the things that keep me up at night.

I don't lose a lot of sleep for doing something that I genuinely thought was right. If someone takes advantage of my empathetic nature and exploits me, I'm not exactly slap-happy about it, but I can go to bed knowing that I did the right thing, and that person is just an asshole.

Pretty much every single bad thing I've done that I lose sleep over has come as a direct result of me trying to "override" my natural empathy. I'm done doing that.

Yikes. What is it with high school robotics and buggy camera APIs? Back when I competed, we were using Java with the FRC provided vision library. When we tried adding the camera, we discovered that our Java code started to segfault after a few minutes of running. This turned out to be comming from the native camera code being invoked through the FFI.

This wasn't as bad as what you saw, as a restart would fix it (for a few minutes at least), but would disable us for the rest of a match if it ever happened at a competition.

At the end of the day, we worked around this by implementing a null pointer check. It was something along the lines if:

if (camera.toString().contains("(null)") return;

I assume there was still a race condition where the garbage collector would trigger whatever ffi destructor nulled out the relevent pointers; but we never ran into it.

To your point, this looks to be an alternative to the 'goto end' pattern in C. In my experience that is the least bug prone pattern of destructors for C code.
The flashlight comes with an USB A->C charging cable, as do the (low end) smartphones we have (along with USB-A power adapter for the phones). Thus probably no PD negotiation. Right?

As a disclaimer, the last time I gave Zig a solid shot was when 0.12 released. The last time I played with comptime properly was in 0.11.

There's a heap of praise thrown at zig comptime. I can certainly see why. From a programming language perspective it's an elegant and very powerful solution. It's a shame that Rust doesn't have a similar system in place. It works wonderfully if you need to precompute something or do some light reflection work.

But, from an actual user perspective it's not very fun or easy to use as soon as you try something harder. The biggest issue I see is that there's no static trait/interface/concept in the language. Any comptime type you receive as a parameter is essentially the `any` type from TypeScript or `void` from C/C++. If you want to do something specific* with it, like call a specific method on it, you have to make sure to check that the type has it. You can of course ignore it and try to call it without checking it, but you're not going to like the errors. Of course, since there are no interfaces you have to do that manually. This is done by reading the Zig stdlib source code to figure out the type enum/structures and then pattern-matching like 6 levels deep. For every field, every method, every parameter of a method. This sucks hard. Of course, once you do check for the type you still won't get any intellisense or any help at all from your IDE/editor.

Now, there are generally two solutions to this:

One would be to add static interfaces/concepts to the language. At the time this was shot down as "unnecessary". Maybe, but it does make this feature extremely difficult to use for anyone but the absolutely most experienced programmers. Honestly, it feels very similar to how Rust proc macros are impenetrable for most people.

The second one is to take a hint from TypeScript and take their relatively complex type system and type assertions. Eg. `(a: unknown): a is number => typeof a === 'number'`.
This one also seems like a bust as it seems to go against the "minimal language" mantra. Also, I don't get the feeling that the language dev team particularly cares about IDEs/LSPs as the Zig LSP server was quite bad the last time I tried it.

Now, the third solution and the one the people behind the Zig LSP server went with is to just execute your comptime functions to get the required type information. Of course, this can't really make the experience of writing comptime any easier, just makes it so that your IDE knows what the result of a comptime invocation was.

So in short it is as difficult to use as it is cool. Really, most of the language is like this. The C interop isn't that great and is severly overhyped. The docs suck. The stdlib docs are even worse. I guess I'm mostly dissapointed since I was hoping Zig could be used where unsafe Rust sucks, but I walked away unsatisfied.

1 sign and 3 exponent bits. AFAIK at the small number of bits it’s basically a teeny tiny look up table so you can precompute the table to be whatever math you want. Having an exponent instead of mantissa just means that the values that can be expressed are not linearly separated.
