Yeah, this.

I mean, look, WordStar was a huge step up from a typewriter. It (and programs like it) made it possible for people like me to write.

WordStar let you get the words right. WordPerfect let you do "you asked for it, you got it" layout, which was a step up. But MacWrite and programs like it let you do WYSIWYG layout, which was huge. It was like going from typewriter to WordStar, but for layout and appearance. (The words are still more important, but the presentation also matters.)

It's not just Tesla. Vehicles amass troves of possibly sensitive data.
Sure, but that's because they're wrong.

Consider the counterfactual. In order for it to be true that many people are paid for work that isn't valuable, it'd have to be true that many people are willingly parting with their money for no reason at all.

That does happen, of course, and it's so special we think highly of people when they do it (it's called charity).

Just because people can't reason about the transmission of value throughout a complex economy doesn't mean it's not happening. In fact that's the beauty of currency and market economies: it doesn't need to be comprehensible to anyone outside of the transaction.

They’re illegal not because of a law but because they were never issued for public use. They were used (briefly) for internal treasury / fed transfers. (Sort of like the mythical trillion-dollar coin that gets talked about every time the debt ceiling conversation comes up).

Because they were never issued privately or meant for use outside of the treasury system, if an individual were to own one it’s because it was stolen or otherwise improperly taken from the treasury.

There are rumors that a few exist in private collections (and I’ve heard of one a single degree away from me), but I’ve never seen it or confirmed that it’s anything more than a rumor.

There is one in the Smithsonian national collection however, and if you get an appointment to view the collection you can see and hold it. Pretty cool.

> The question is why are you using cash?

I use cash because it contributes to the local neighborhood economy more than not using cash.

I use cash because I do not want to risk a banking app being broken by a non-banking app.

I use cash because I do not trust banking apps to keep to themselves instead of infecting the whole device with spyware to "verify who you are".

I use cash because not using cash charges extra (often-hidden) fees while using cash often comes with extra discounts.

I use cash because the modern economy is a give-business-money-for-nothing-because-fuck-you economy and I don't want to contribute to that.

There are many reasons to use cash. Pick one or many but stop thinking that cash is worse than a tech solution.

Several large companies could benefit from ignoring GenAI. Unfortunately, "benefit" would only mean "save money and produce better products for customers" instead of "make stock price go up".

Instead, all of these companies are effectively forced to play hype ball.

There is no question. We just don't see any articles written about it in western media.
A less cynical take is that communicating consistently the priorities and tradeoffs the company wants to make as they get larger is a hopeful use of OKRs.

In small teams/companies “the right thing” can be obvious and the team can operate in a shared headspace with low cycle time to discuss and decide tradeoffs when they arise. This gets really problematic at scale.

Now back to the cynicism — it’s also tricky when you want to hide the ball and make teams feel ok about doing bad things: make time spent go up is the goal, who cares if there’s addiction along the way.
We had an email come in from a pension combining processor, the url they gave so that you could add information about someone's pension was similar to:

Why do these companies make this stuff so hard!?
Something I appreciate about small workplaces is that, often, people have a shared sense of the purpose of the organization and strong teamwork.

It manifests in little things. We were waiting outside the conference room last week for our manager to get the keys to unlock it. Nobody told me to, I wasn't responsible for snacks, but I picked up the trays of pastries and brought them in and put them in the right place and joked "It's my New Years resolution to squat anything I can get my arms around." I got thanked.

In startups you often have to get things done quicker than you can hire new people to do it. A lot of people have the attitude that they have a certain circle of responsibility, which is necessary and appropriate in a large organization, but in a small organization I like it that people have internalized the goals of the organization and are willing and able to pinch hit.

I think people often get this attitude working in small businesses, like a little shop that sells knick-nacks at the beach or the summer that I got re-hired at a supermarket that owed me a favor despite not really hiring at the time. I worked about 50% at the front end and the other 50% doing odd jobs directly under the store manager which meant they'd have me paint a metal line that ran around the outer wall of the store or sub for people in the deli (learn to work the meat slicer) or bakery, etc.

In a big organization you need some rigidity, but big organizations can also be seen as a collection of small organization (e.g. "employees don't leave companies, employees leave managers")

It's a pet peeve of mine when people in a startup don't have a flexible attitude.
You have invoked Goodhart's Law. The problem is, of course, that most managers are not good at their task of evaluating talent, proving the worth of their services, etc. and try to take the easiest way out of it. Sometimes this means outsourcing the job to you or picking a poor thing to measure.

To be honest, apple's approach to AI seems pretty close to this recommendation. I don't see much more than "here's a few nice features to some apps" -- vs., MS's "now all our machines must be AI capable so that we can scan 1000s of screeshots of your device"
Tensors used in deep learning are not the same as the definition used by Physicists - blame the DL community for this :). So DL tensors are just N-dimensional arrays of data, and there is no concept of covariance and contravariance of the dimensions. You could think of DL tensors as Cartesian tensors and they don't need to conform to the same transformation laws that Physics tensors do.
I think employers are bracing for another employee sided market and trying to juice their hand as long as they have it. My belief is a lot of F500 companies are running on skeleton crew H1B which might be a crumbly foundation. They will neg-neg-neg until the clock runs out.
It's complexity is not completely unnecessary. Scale is a huge bitch.

Networking between phones, without a common base station, is hard. Harder than WI-FI, because identity is managed centrally and the frecs in use require a license to name some "simple" problems. Cellular comms are not designed to handle this kind of scenario.

There has been some work to add inter device connectivity lately, to support many interesting use cases. You can find more looking for "sidelink" or "PC5", but you will not find many phones that implement it.

My cousin did the same thing - eat nothing but a vitamin for a month monitored by a doctor.

Fun fact about these — when the treasury first issued these, many people decided to cut them into odd off-center pieces and sell the resulting notes as miscut errors.

Once that started happening, the treasury (BEP to be specific) very quickly changed the serial numbers so they’re all very recognizable as having come from an uncut sheet. I didn’t check the latest for all denominations, but I know for $1 bills they all start with 99.

So if you see a “miscut dollar error” for sale on eBay or the like, always check the serial. If it starts with 99 then it’s just someone who had some fun with a pair of scissors and it’s not a real error.

For example, to wit:

I wish they had but on the other hand, can you imagine how many think pieces there'd be about how Apple was stagnating and how they were "such, like, a 20th Century Company(tm)" and you'd probably get activist investors bleating about how Apple were leaving money on the table and and and etc.
You ignored my request "Please don't respond unless you have an actual valid argument to make - you haven't made one yet." and responded without making a single valid argument. You have to realize that you're acting out of emotion and that you haven't engaged your logical thinking process one single time in any comment you've made here. Please stop.

It also isn't clear that you have actually read my comments before responding. You haven't actually quoted any of my text or responded to a single point I've made.

> Is this performative art or are you just a jerk. You are just being a jerk in your rant now.

This is emotionally manipulative, breaks the HN guidelines, is an ad-hominem attack and also a false dichotomy fallacy. You need to read up on logical fallacies[1], because that's the only thing you've been doing in your comments. And, no, to be clear, my posts are neither - I'm using logic, while you're using emotion.

The only person ranting is you. I've provided arguments and points - you've merely personally attacked me without responding to my points. That's more of jerk behavior than anything, because a jerk knows that they are wrong, and so has to attack others by being emotionally manipulative or attacking their character.

> Your original post is below zero so clearly those who saw it disagree with you.

Irrelevant. You can disagree and still be incorrect. HN voting is meaningless when it comes to truth or correctness.

> Work on your delivery and try to be more compassionate and less of a jerk.

More emotional manipulation (condescending tone) and personal attacks.

> Its hard, sometimes I come across as a jerk when I am passionate about things. The way you speak to others is a detractor to the comments section.

I've made valid points that you've been unable to answer. The only replies that you've given are personal attacks, insults, and emotional manipulation. It's also highly hypocritical that you accuse me detracting from the comments section, given that you haven't made a single good point, have repeatedly broken the guidelines, detracted from the comments yourself by posting value-less fluff, and defended blatantly anti-intellectual behavior that detracts from the comments.

I'm going to stop responding until you make a valid point. I've called out that you're ranting, that you're not engaging your logical thought process and am merely responding out of emotion, that you're breaking the guidelines, that you're repeatedly committing fallacies and non-arguments, and that you haven't actually responded to any of my points.

Given that last part, it's meaningless to respond further unless you actually read my comment before responding to it, and then make a valid argument. If anyone reads through this thread in the future, they'll be able to see that you utterly failed to make any coherent argument whatsoever.

How does someone become someone who sells the software development project? Is this an architect or sales engineer? I’m confused by how a sales engineer would gain the level of expertise needed to sell the project and specs/implementation.

Do they usually come from an IC developer role?
They could be doing a lot better but it's a bit of a cursed problem.

Natural language as input doesn't give you any information about where the boundaries are or what's possible. Meanwhile natural
language can express anything, most of which any current implementation won't be able to do.

So the user gets a blank canvas and all the associated problems with learning what to do, except it's worse because many things they think up will fail.

And the main tool we have to guide the user through this fraught path is LLM output. Oof.

I am hopeful that Apple will demonstrate their expertise in using some traditional UI to help alleviate some of these problems.
I don't doubt the pressure they are feeling at the upper levels at Apple is real — but I agree, this initial rollout is also-ran and they underdelivered.

I disagree that Apple should have sat on their hands. LLMs are already shipping apps that are beginning to integrate with the OS (looking at you, ChatGPT icon in my MacOS menu bar). How much user privacy should Apple allow me (well, their customers generally) to cede before they step in?

This hasn’t been a problem since the ACA.

I was caught up in the pre ACA health care system trying to find insurance outside of working for a company.

I have very mild Cerebral Palsy and back then, I was in great shape - a part time fitness instructor, had just run two half marathons in an average time, I could pass any of the standard fitness tests for my age etc.

I had one surgery in my entire life - four surgery at 21 12 years prior. I could not get insurance at any price even though they could have given me any fitness test including running on a treadmill with flying colors.

I was making more than enough as a contractor to pay for it.

I looked on the open market last year when I briefly thought about going independent and I could have definitely made the numbers work.

You can define the moment when the universe stopped being a singularity as t=0 and its "end state" at t=1, without knowing what that end state is, and still make general observations about the beginning, middle, and end of the universe. Of course, you can't derive any specifics about specific regions of spacetime when thinking this way.

Another option might be to modify the baud rate of the MIDI interface. MIDI is terribly slow at 1M/32 bps, and most UARTs can go at least 115200. That would also mean changing the baud rate on your PC software at that point in transmission, and would not allow a standard MIDI file to be used.

In various types of training eating is the hardest part. Because you say "just have an extra bowl of yogurt" it lets me know you don't understand how hard it is to eat all of this food. This is the main reason protein powder is so prevalent.

If you can find their old datascience blogs (that have since been purged), there's some interesting stuff in there. Iirc, one of the saddest revelations is the feature that best predicts outcome was income, and that hobbies/interests that looked like good predictors were just correlated with income.

> Hell, the iPhone is a fully capable cinema camera these days

No, it's not. The sensor in an iPhone is AI/ML'd up the ass to hide all the noise because it has 1µm sensor wells.

A Panasonic video-oriented mirrorless micro 4/3rds (so not even anywhere near 35mm) like the GH5 is 3-4x that.

A Sony Alpha 7 III? six times the sensor well size.

I don't care how many megabits of video bandwidth you throw at it or how fancy you think "raw" shooting is, or how fancy your sensor technology is; nobody these days has anything that is even close to 2x better than anyone else. The top sensor from all the major players are pushing the limits of physics, and have been for a long time.

No amount of AI/ML shit will give you depth of field and bokeh that looks as nice as a big sensor and a fast lens with nice shutter leaf shape.
Honestly, I think Apple played their cards perfectly. They didn’t try to be first to market with R&D, but they’ve launched just enough features to excite customers about new phones, while appeasing investors and subduing potential competitors like OpenAI who are rumored to be working on hardware devices, too.
Apple needs to review whichever firm they outsourced review of Maps locations to, because my report got my local hackerspace marked "permanently closed" when all I did was correct the address, map pointer, and capitalisation of the name.
