I wonder if replacing laptops with smartphones based computers has a potential to ever become mainstream. Instead of carrying a laptop, use your phone + foldable display + keyboard and mouse. This could be more ergonomic than laptops, you could have larger display, placed higher and further away, and use a more comfortable keyboard. It could also be smaller and lighter in total than carrying the laptop.
This bug should be fixed now. I found two root causes:

1. Rather than waiting for the game engine update callback, I handle touch/mouse input immediately (required by SpeechSynthesis) so multiple input events can trigger before the game engine cleans up a destroyed object (fish).

2. I incremented score synchronously but marked a fish as destroyed asynchronously so there was a window where another click on the fish could occur.

Thanks again!
I use duckduckgo and I get great search results. To get summaries of stuff that interesting, but not important, I use duck.ai, perplexity.ai or iask.ai.

Since I am happy with the searches, and it takes very little time, I do not want to pay 10 USD per month.

I do find it interesting that so many people have such great problems with their searches, but I suspect it is because they are searching for very complicated programming problems. Maybe then, duckduckgo does not work.

We’re deep into a cycle in technology where customer/consumer/user/worker preference aren’t even paid lip service anymore: Samsung is so powerful in Korea that demand is what they say it is.

Hey, all I asked is whether Musk implied he was a pedophile. I never said the dissertation didn’t exist.

I’m sorry you took the effort to prove that point, however can you hold me responsible for that point? I was just asking a question.

Isn’t the way you interpret those sentences your issue? Not mine?

> The idea that this observation constitutes an accusation of pedophilia is 100% media spin, and does not reflect Musk's words.

It surely doesn’t reflect Musk’s exact words.

I dont know what you mean about media spin.

I do know that people took those words to imply he was a pedophile. Which is why they went out to teach him a lesson, threatening him, harassing him and hounding him. I mean, who would let a censoring pedophile be?

And it’s not Musk’s fault people did that, anyone who reads his sentence will see he clearly doesn’t mean that Roth is a pedophile.

That’s the fault of the people who can’t read correctly! Like how can I be held responsible if you didn’t understand me.
Sounds a bit like The Tenth Victim, a delightful specimen of 60s Italian science fictiony pop weirdness.

The problem with such judgment is that they are subjective and subject to biases that change over time. Almost every scrap of information from ancient civilizations is considered priceless at this point because so few is left of it. Anything from obscene graffiti, shopping lists, personal messages, etc. All of it.

Many autocratic regimes editorialize and censure all forms of publications. But even in the US, which is nominally still a democracy you now have states like Florida forcing changes to literature works and banning books entirely for religious and ideological reasons. And this is not just a right wing thing. There have been a few publishers that took it upon themselves to editorialize literature from the 19th and 20th century to get rid of some things that are now considered sexist, racist or otherwise offensive. The whole cancel culture is not just about canceling people, but about limiting access to their work as well.

I was at a Christmas market in Berlin a few weeks ago near the Opera. There's a nice little monument there for the book burning that happened in the 1930s. Anything that was vaguely intellectual or Jewish in origin was burned right there during the Kristallnacht. Nice place for a Christmas market and a grim reminder that those calling for things to be deleted/cancelled aren't necessarily very nice people. And of course Hitler himself got cancelled. Possession or distribution of his books is still not allowed in Germany.

Anyway, imagine somebody in 5000 years finding their way to some archive of hacker news or some reddit thread might look differently at the value of some of the comments than the average moderator.
I've often wondered whether people would be less confused if they replaced the word "Input" on the remote with the word "Switch".

For people who don't really understand what a set-top box is or how it works or how it is connected, why would we expect "Input" to have any meaning to them at all?
Since laptop displays with a few exceptions have the bottom of the screen on the desk, bigger ismore ergonomic as it raises the center up, at least up until the point the center becomes too high, which is pretty huge.

First, when you write "engineering", I suppose that you mean all engineering disciplines except software engineering. If true, how do you compare candidates for material science or civil engineering or aero engineering or mechanical engineering roles?

I suppose that you will reply "talk to them" or "look at their experience". But, we have learned through squillions of posts here on HN, it just isn't enough. There are many charlatans that will slip through that type of interview process -- "great talker / good looking". This is the reason for the three-decade-long "arms race" in the technical interview process where programming problems become harder and harder over time. (Side comment: Does anyone think that people who can solve harder leetcode problems have a higher IQ? Controversially, on balance, I believe it to be true, and, thus, I think programming tests are a great way to filter for higher IQ candidates.)

They're lumped in the same group by measure of being from the same source and following mostly the same core dialect. What I (and is usually) referred to as "Microsoft BASIC", not a specific product:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_BASIC

E.g.:

> Applesoft BASIC is a dialect of Microsoft BASIC
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applesoft_BASIC

> Type Microsoft BASIC
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_Basic

> Type Microsoft BASIC
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickBASIC

The point wasn't that they are they same, in fact quite the opposite. So it would make sense that some variants (the Amiga variant, in this case) could be good while others are less well received.
Some people in the archiving / 'data hoarding' community feel it's simpler to just back up everything. This attitude is particularly prevalent in the communities that deal with data other people have already digitised.

If you're paying $100 per book for someone to visit a major library, get the book out, scan it, check the OCR? Then you'd probably be selective, to get the most out of a limited budget.

But if you're grabbing epubs and pdfs, and a book only needs $0.002 of space on a hard drive somewhere? Grabbing the useless 41% is probably cheaper and easier than exercising editorial control.
> "Little black book" was an ubiquitous term when I grew up, and so using the term would just be a synonym to "address book" that nobody would think twice about.

Indeed, I'm aware of that meaning and its ubiquity. But amongst UK university computing staff at that time, knowledge of the Coloured Books was as embedded. Remember that JANET network addresses were the other way round, so rather than cam.ac.uk it used to be uk.ac.cam - the author of this piece will have been well aware of the double meaning.

It's that double meaning that gives the headline it's precise relevance and a dash of humour.

I wonder how the word "busybody" was chosen?

A busybody implies someone who is nosey, the type of person that peeks through their curtains at what the neighbors are doing.

The article says:

"In this lexicon, a busybody traces a zigzagging route through many often distantly related topics."

I wonder what is accurate?

Author here! The breast cancer dataset is simple and heavily saturated, so small differences between methods are expected. As you say, single-use examples can be noisy due to randomness in how the data is randomly split into training and testing sets especially for a saturated dataset like this one. Cross-validation reduces this variance by averaging over multiple splits. I just ran this below:

TabPFN mean ROC AUC: 0.9973

SVM mean ROC AUC: 0.9903

TabPFN per split: [0.99737963 0.99639699 0.99966931 0.99338624 0.99966465]

SVM per split: [0.99312152 0.98788077 0.99603175 0.98313492 0.99128102]

from sklearn.model_selection import cross_val_score
from tabpfn import TabPFNClassifier
from sklearn.datasets import load_breast_cancer
from sklearn.svm import LinearSVC
import numpy as np

data = load_breast_cancer()
X, y = data.data, data.target

# TabPFN
tabpfn_clf = TabPFNClassifier()
tabpfn_scores = cross_val_score(tabpfn_clf, X, y, cv=5,
scoring='roc_auc')
print("TabPFN per split:", tabpfn_scores)
print("TabPFN mean ROC AUC:", np.mean(tabpfn_scores))

# SVM
svm_clf = LinearSVC(C=0.01)
svm_scores = cross_val_score(svm_clf, X, y, cv=5,
scoring='roc_auc')
print("SVM per split:", svm_scores)
print("SVM mean ROC AUC:", np.mean(svm_scores))

It's hard to communicate this properly, we should probably make sure to have a favourable example ready, but just included the simplest one!
I purchased a Samsung TV in 2019. It was my first really big TV (75” compared to my previous 39”) and I was excited to have a “home theater experience”.

Unfortunately what I got was garbage. Every 4-5 weeks from the day I bought it I have to reset the system to prevent it from becoming so slow that it lags while changing the volume. If I ever connect it to the internet to use its “smart” features, it puts ads into the menu. At this point I have all of it’s functionality other than display delegated to other devices and I pray I never have to change the input source, because that could take over a minute of screwing around and possibly turning it off and on. I paid $2000 for this experience.

If and when it eventually dies I will go out of my way to purchase a dumb “display” meant for commercial use, because every TV I have evaluated since, from every manufacturer, has similar issues. It’s ridiculous.
I don't care, you are here throwing tantrums and name-calling like a 5 year old while my comments are being downvoted at the same time. I told you what my views about SerenityOS, Ladybird and Andreas are and you insist I'm wrong and ignorant while I never called anyone any names here.

And again: I'm not going to spend my time nor resources to support someone who already displayed signs of betrayal to his community.

The SerenityOS community was fractured, all because of his selfish ambitions.
That's truly amazing! I knew you could do a lot with PDF but that not to this extent.
Luck is a massive, massive factor. There are plenty of exceptionally smart and gritty people who fail, and plenty of far less-so who succeed.

Your argument is good if you just follow it to the obvious (if inconvenient) conclusion. Despite so many people “having the answers,” no one can replicate it reliably. And even the ones who can likely wouldn’t be able to if you removed capital from the equation. The clear explanation is: luck.

But of course luck tends to strike when you’re working hard and consistently, so it’s not totally out of one’s hands.
There seems to be a deliberate, implicit value judgement about "busybodies" that would explain the negative connotations:

Eccentric Orbits: The Iridium Story

Vastly better article. More pictures and details.
TB4 supports DP2.0, which (in UHBR13.5 or UHBR20 mode) has enough bandwidth for 5K @ 120Hz (or 144/180 Hz with UHBR20).

The issue is more likely to be availability, and marketability.

In general the demand for high refresh rates on desktop displays is driven by gamers, far more so than resolution - it's pointless having a 5K or 6K display if your GPU can only render the game in a playable fashion at 1440P or whatever. This demographic is well known to sacrifice resolution for higher refresh rates. I guess a low detail image that animates smoothly is preferable to a high detail image that is jerky or looks like a slide show.

A large part of the buying market for high resolution displays (particularly above 4K in the 27-36" range) is going to non-gaming users, who are doing regular desktop work where 60Hz is likely to be fine. Most people aren't going to be able to type or draw or do much else productive fast enough to "defeat" 60Hz for practical uses.

I don't think it's a coincidence that Dell, ASUS, Samsung, LG and BenQ all have high-end displays shipping or announced, that explicitly mention support for macOS, and just happen to use a PPI that suits macOS' scaling "@2x" scaling mode perfectly.

Nor do I think it's a coincidence that the 5K@60Hz spec they mostly support is viable on Macs as old as the 2016 MBP15, from 8 years ago. Heck even a 2018 Mac mini with just an iGPU will do 5K@60Hz.

I'm not saying no manufacturers will support higher refresh rates, but realistically I think you're looking at a product that would be a niche within a niche. It's only recently that most of the above manufacturers have (re)entered the ~200PPI display market, it's going to take a while before there's enough potential customers for what you're talking about.
I solder very rarely and quite badly, but switching to non-lead solder just made it impossible to get good joints. I had to get a better iron, nothing fancy but with higher effect, meaning I can get to a higher temperature faster without turning the whole PCB into mush.
Was it LG? I bought a lot of their discontinued Android-powered “smart” remotes for a project a few years ago. They unfortunately had their uses for other applications limited by a battery life of less than 30 minutes - I assume they were meant to live on the included Qi-powered stand.

The best care is not necessarily the best bleeding-edge treatment.

Most medical jobs are only possible at all (without burning out and destroying the person doing them) through them mostly acting in accordance with best practice and training.

The ultra-rich don't have markedly better survival from nasties like GBM than the rest of us, unfortunately, so if better exists, it's not something money can buy.

And where some degree of survival can indeed be bought, the medical industry does at least have a solid record of scaling it out to the professional classes, even if the poor go without.

The iPhone 16 is also USB 2.0 (not the Pro though). While it's kinda crummy for a phone of it's price, it's not alone. A lot of lower end Android phones/devices are still USB 2.0 with C ports.
EDIT: Developer included this in a summary:

"Comments on HIPAA: I'm 99% sure this does not apply, since the site is for patients and their families, and no doctors, clinics, hospitals, or insurance companies are involved. All information comes from the family, and stays in the family."

Insofar as no providers or non-family use this, developer may have a point: my comment's covered-entity reasoning can be disregarded.

---

> Anyone who is willing to trust a random developer with their information can do so afaict.

No, not "anyone" in a multi-party app when "someone" is regulated.

This reasoning (a patient can choose to disclose) doesn't apply here, as the app expects providers to info-share new info, ongoing.

The providers are regulated, they have to keep records, and their sides of their tools have to be covered.

That said, even some U.S. national insurance companies bury a clause in their agreement where, to your point, the patient agrees to sort of declassify their info such that it's (the insurer company's theory goes) no longer considered HIPAA and the insurance company can go bananas with it (e.g., sell it to drug companies).

I had lawyers look into this on behalf of our firm benefits, and we challenged that clause. The national insurance company everyone has heard of instantly gave us a new employee insurance agreement without that clause, which suggests to me they knew it was dicey. (Imagine pinging Google and them dropping a clause from their TOS "just for you". That would only happen if they knew it didn't have legs.)

But, dicey or not, it suggests a path to try if you want to attempt this!

Apple was selling laptops with Thunderbolt before it used a USB-C connector and were among the first to sell them with Thunderbolt over USB-C.

They were, as far as I know, the first company to sell 27" monitors over Thunderbolt back in 2011.

So Apple has been all in on Thunderbolt for years, they just persisted with the Lightning connector on iPhones.

Phones mostly don't really make use of Thunderbolt bandwidth like laptops. They make use of the common charging standard of the USB-C connector.

I've never been a fan of the Lightning connector but given they've been making use of Thunderbolt on laptops before most vendors considered it, saying the market has moved on without them is silly.

The market moved to catch up with Apple.

> So much of medicine and treatment is literally just hearsay and whatever your surgeon happened to read last week.

I think that you can replace "medicine" with "technology" and "surgeon" with "programmer". Something that I don't know about medicine into highly advanced countries: How do surgeons learn about the latest techniques? I assume they subscribe to some key industry/professional journals and/or go to annual conferences to discuss specific techniques. I know that dentists do it because I have asked multiple dentists about it. (In my life, the type of doctor that I visit the most often is a dentist for twice-annual checkups, so I see regular improvements to care and treatment.) Finally, I doubt that most surgeons would agree with your statement.
