I agree that they are/were far too expensive, especially given the drift problems. Other than that, they're a neat bit of tech and, with the included 'grip' controller, I found them totally suitable for the first 6 months or so. After that, I got the Pro controller and never looked back. Last year, I picked up a CRKD Nitro and that is a massive upgrade on the Joy-Con.

Israel does not have a fundamentalist, authoritarian government! There are some fundamentalist and far-right parties in the current coalition but they have little power to push their own policies except to threaten to bolt the coalition. For all the talk of those 2-3 ministers to who belong to these more extreme parties to eg legitimise new settlements, repopulate gaza, they don't have enough power to actually pass such laws and none of these ministers none of whom hold the top 8 roles in government.

The most religious/fundementalist of the the parties UTJ believes in land for peace and have said so many times over the years (but like the majority of the Israeli public, they wont mention it, let alone push for it, during wartime so as not to reward terrorism) and was fully behind all the ceasefire proposals in the past 18 months.

And it's certainly not authoritarian. Israel has full powers of protest, free speech, and in fact it's generally the press that have the strongest voice not the government.

And "that is actively at work undermining democratic structures" is also wrong. They are trying to reform Israel's supreme court system which many legal scholars agree badly needs reform as the justices are largely self-selected yet have the power to override legislation without referring to existing law (the so-called reasonableness test which no other country has).
I worked in Nokia at the time and played with the N9. Meego was actually really good. It could have been competitive with the iPhone and Nokia could have stayed at the top and been where Samsung is now.
Yeah my experience has been thats its basically unplayable. I'm the kind of person who refunds when a game is <60fps though.
Makes you wonder how many sites out there are just ~10k requests per hour away from being bricked.
Looks like a new controller attachment system, maybe magnetic, except that doesn't seem robust enough for excited play.

I wonder what that means for spare controllers. It's a waste to make people go buy new extra controllers for multiplayer games. Maybe you can use your old Switch as a charger and pair via BT? Not nearly as nice as just sliding it on to pair, but hopefully reduces e-waste.
Why is it reasonable to interrupt everyone else's freedom to hear someone talk?
tl;dr: AI is looking to convey words. A good author is looking to efficiently convey information.

Because that's literally what it is. Its an algorithm that is continuously asking itself, 'what is the most likely word I should say next?'

Whereas an author that is intending to communicate a point, will start with an idea, write a passage to explain the idea, and then edit their passage to the minimum number of words that most precisely, accurately, and succinctly communicates that idea.
Indeed, the wording is “substantially identical”, which is important. 2 different ETFs that track similar, but not identical indices (e.g. S&P500 vs Russell 1000 large cap, for example) are clearly not substantially identical, and make great tax-loss harvesting pairs. There’s tons of case law, opinions from tax experts, and automated tax-loss harvesting tools from a variety of brokers that agree with this viewpoint.
I suspect it has more to do with all the invading and burning down Hindu and Buddhist temples.
Gotta leave something for the Nintendo Switch 2 OLED
That makes it even weirder why they would only show a few short hints of one possible new Mario Kart game. The original switch reveal had glimpses of new Zelda, Mario and even the first portable version of Skyrim.
Your taste/view is as valid and correct as mine.

If these things could be standardized, we would have only one design for every category of item, possibly from different brands.

Since it can't, we have this thing called design and art, which is a good thing :)
> Israel, as it it currently constituted (based on 1967 borders) is not a viable state if the West Bank is a hostile entity with a standing army, and funded to a similar extent as Hezbollah. The West Bank bulges into Israel and effectively cuts the country in half and places all strategic targets within shelling distance.

This is exactly the same argument that Russia has been using to annex territories such as Crimea; "it's strategically important for us" isn't really sufficient justification for mass murder, and - on a purely geographic point - talking about the West Bank doesn't justify anything to do with Gaza, which is geographically separate.

And why the 1967 borders rather than the 1948 ones?

> Iran funnels hundreds of millions of dollars in arms to militia groups.

This is the side that's not really been raised enough in this whole discussion. If Israel's war is with Iran, why is that war not being carried out in Iran? Does this have something to do with the fact that Iran is 1000km away from having a land border with either Israel or Palestine?
> "and one more thing"-moment

That's so cliche and cringe nowadays, but the reason they didn't wait to do that is probably because of all the leaks. The specs, the name, photos of the console and internal components all leaked. Even the fan renders people were making turned out to be pretty damn accurate (https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/1i008os/nin...)
I think this is not a charitable take. The writing is balanced and he highlights that this is his subjective opinion and preference. Your comment is hyperbole and blows the whole thing out of proportion.
I wish you could just turn off the sticks in the system software — it's a trivial fix that would make the problem a whole lot more bearable.
The App Store didn't exist for the first iPhone. It launched with the iPhone 3G. The original plan was for everyone to develop web apps; the SDK was added due to external developer demand.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/App_Store_(Apple)#History

Not denying how important it was, but the App Store wasn't "invented". It was created because Apple listened to what developers wanted.
I’ve disagreed with Drew on many things in the past but this is something with him that I 100% aligned, and I sincerely hope that he is joined by many others at the sit in.
Did you automate it?
Very true. I think it was Snowflake we worked with recently where the sales rep said they don't get commission (I assume they have other incentives).

Aggressive commission structures, sales targets, and little oversights have visible impacts on how the sales team operate.

Compare to cloud providers like AWS where you certainly get "reminded" constantly about all the integrated services and features but much less so harassed and threatened into closing deals.
People who started to look when the Switch was already 3-4 years old, and passed because it's underpowered.
The Sunni-Shia conflict falls pretty close to the same line between the Babylonians (south) and Assyrians (north).

The Assyrians were constantly attacked by proxies helped out by Egypt (Elamites, Medes, Babylon).

To be fair, his last scam involved old people investing and… so does this one.
Not sure I get this because we have no deeper understanding using the example I gave.

I.e. The weak force is short range because it's field is stiffer -> the weak force's field is stiffer because it is more oblong -> the weak force's field is more oblong because it has more sparkles -> it has more sparkles because it ha slower mushiness -> it has more mushiness because ...etc.

We haven't gained anything in that sequence.

I don't think we can answer fundamental questions like this. The fine structure constant is the value it is because without that value we can't have a universe like this. Maybe in some multiverse system the physical laws and constants we know are fluid and can take different values in different universes but in our universe simply because of observation selection effects they can only be what they are.
That matches with my experience, Claude is clearly ahead of its competitors in anything logic- or reasoning-based.

I find Gemini is better at queries that involve more kind of intuitive judgment over things where there isn't a clear "correct" answer. E.g. if I want a podcast recommendation, or advice on the best place to learn about a given problem, I find Gemini better than Claude.

Unfortunately for Gemini, 90% of the things I want an LLM for are better with stronger logic and reasoning.
Bright-colored controllers were so much better. Also the way they were attached before is much better.

Switch 1 was the work of art. This one looks like the work of A/B testing and “we are losing customers as they choose Steam Deck over us, so let’s make it look like Steam Deck”
which makes complete sense, no?
A NASA planetary probe or a NRO spysat cost more than an order of magnitude more than launch but your run of the mill comm sat is only a bit more expensive than a SpaceX launch.
I totally agree with you Sasha!

I posted it as a joke/sarcasm to show that even people have tried running AI on a typewriter!
The leaks specs are [1]:

- ARM 8 Arm Cortex-A78C

- GPU: Nvidia T239 Ampere, 12 SM/1534 Cores

- 12 GB of ram.

Compared to Switch 1 [2]:

- ARM 4 Cortex-A57 cores @ 1.02 GHz

- GPU: NVIDIA Maxwell 256 cores

- 4 GB of ram.

It should like it should be a major boost in performance from those specs, like maybe 4x improvement overall?

Of course there are more pixels on this screen, so the amount of GPU per pixel may stay roughly the same.

The last time I tried to use my Switch, I realized that the joy cons are no longer usable separately. Seems the connection to the internal shoulder buttons is broken, and you can't reorient the controllers unless you can hold them both down.

> It's strange to me everyone acting as like TikTok's algorithm is completely unassailable and will always be better than the competition for years and decades to come.

I'm not seeing this sentiment. More that none of its competitors are so obviously ahead of the pack that we can easily predict TikTok's natural successor.
Casio retro Pac-Man calculator watch now available in US
Indeed. Unfortunately, even if all of HN boycotts the Switch 2 it won't have an effect on Nintendo, but their behavior is entirely unacceptable and is boycott-worthy.
I would be surprised if older joycons can't be paired via BT.

There are already alternative ways to charge them, either charging stations or charging grip.
The great thing about how Nintendo approaches games is that it is about game design, not triangles per second.
Counterbalance to misinformation is, just, information. Strengthen the institutions that provide valuable and quality information and use them as counter. Why aren't PBS and such institutions funded to produce shorts that inform users and put those on Tiktok et all?
The US has a lot of catching up to do in terms of food health standards. There's a lot more that we need to get rid of.
Have they mentioned anything? All they have done so far is show the hardware off and one new game, which for the record does look more detailed than its predecessor.
This was just a hype video, they didn’t mention anything other than “2025” and the date of the Nintendo Direct with more information.

That said, I’m not expecting it to be a giant step up in performance.
Nokia produced several early smartphones. Most ran SymbianOS that showed what was possible. The connectivity wasn't there to make it really useful and this was the age of "smaller is cooler" mobile phones, so they tried to keep the screens small.

I imagine that there were several people in Nokia that understood the potential of a phone that could also act like a mini-computer.
I think they revealed the current Switch this way. 1st a small tease then a Direct with plenty of details.

That is happening on April.
My kids are just getting to the age where they can use a gaming device like this. Obviously I'll get the Switch 2 rather than the Switch.
> The West Bank bulges into Israel and effectively cuts the country in half and places all strategic targets within shelling distance.

That’s why the peace before 1967 was so important. But Israel ended it and was left with a mess that now all young people are drafted into service.
I started building an iso game a couple years ago and like you was not looking forward to having to make so much art. Then I had an idea. Build it in a 3D engine and lock the camera in an iso like position. Now I can use 3d models and not have to worry about creating all these different views. Also you could do effects when walking around the board by spinning the camera and then locking it in a different iso position. I'm pretty sure this is how newer iso games are made.
> "Ugly architecture" is subjective.

I think this actually illustrates the author's point and gets at the heart of the cultural malaise we are experiencing. If everything is subjective, nothing can be improved because nothing can be better than something else.

But this isn't the case.

The Mona Lisa is objectively better than anything I have ever painted.

Architecture is no different.

Some buildings quite literally are better than others and we can scientifically study this [1]. We can recognize that all opinions are valid, but that some are better than others. We do this in daily life too, if you are in the ER and the trauma team comes and tells you their opinion on your condition, you will value that opinion over the opinion of the person outside waiting for a ride. Art, music, architecture - no different.

Tens of millions of people visit the Notre Dame Cathedral.

Why?

Religious reasons of course, but many visit simply to marvel at the wonderful architecture. Contrast that with Rocky City Church [2] here in Columbus where I live. A big, bland, gray "modern" building that as our standards have dropped to nothing (remember everything is subjective so nothing can be better than anything else) we have come to accept as the norm.

This is the Nobody Cares phase of not just architecture but society as well.

Screen estate all to the edge of the device can be annoying too, just a wrinkle on your clothes will then cover a bit of the screen.
Not being able to use DNS I prefer, is why I've never hosted anything with Cloudflare.
you can't say "they don't care" though, the folks making these screens are obviously pretty motivated to keep squeezing out more profits and care a lot about that. if they "didn't care" they'd have told you "ok fine, im going for break"
How would that compare to other consoles, like the PS4/PS4 Pro?
That aligns with my point, rather than make it moot.
I would kill to see the presentation from RIM

This is to Nokia's credit. It didn't work out, but they also weren't arrogant like RIM or Microsoft
iPhones got bigger in terms of screen size, but Apple remained obsessed with lighter and thinner phones for many years after that. It's hard to remember this, but some of the earlier smartphones like the Palm Trio were giant awful bricks. You can't really convey weight in a picture, but you can convey size.
I'm surprised that Nokia found out through the keynote presentation from Steve Jobs. LG and Prada announced their phone a little earlier and it had been shown already at the IF Design Awards a few months earlier.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LG_Prada

If Nokia had paid attention to those design awards then they too could have moved quickly on a similar device.

Is this a case where Nokia thought they had a moat?
Some part understood, and those people started the Maemo project. It got a tiny fraction of the available resources.
it definitely does look a bit like a steam deck

From the trailer the way the new controller attach to the console seems fragile, but they might have done some apple-like magnet magic..
Having only taken one syntax class for fun in college, I find this pretty impressive. Generating syntax trees was never a trivial task for me (but I was just a CS major who needed a credit). Slightly related, but I have also never had ChatGPT successfully generate ASCII art, even with extensive conversation.
Good thing these days slavery is illegal in the US – unless your company owns a prison
This is a just first look trailer so yes I think most people have no choice but to hold off on a purchase decision

I saw a larger screen and exclusive titles for the switch 2. As with everything else in gaming I am expecting modest bumps in performance and since this is Nintendo it will sell very well and have Mario and Zelda releases that get 9/10 reviews on all the usual sites.

The gaming industry has been going through these cycles for decades. If you had a previous Nintendo system and still like to play video games, odds are good you’ll end up with one of these sooner or later too.
Bet everyone has a different prespective. And thats what makes this world amazing. One is really free to pick any.
There’s always someone turning 12.
it's secret superpower it to allow you to give up on trying your code to compile and then just to shim against some C# bindings
> The sites remain incredibly, invisibly toxic far longer than we have had people around, into the future.

That's BS. There are some NPP's already decommissioned, and there is nothing toxic there anymore.

The little bits that were, have been transported away, to be stored elsewhere.

How that happened, or not so far, varies by region and is often delayed or sabotaged by stupid regulations, shizophrenic neglect and NIMBYism.

In similar ways some regions have no, or little battery backup for the grid.

Which wouldn't be necessary in the first place, if we hadn't stopped development and refinement of 'nukkular' in the first place about half a century ago.

It really isn't that much volume.

The most dangerous parts decay the fastest, that's what's making them dangerous.

And they could be used in advanced breeder 'nukkularz', FUCK YEAH!

The rest is rather harmless, and if our descendents are too stupid to stay away from that stuff, and don't make glowing toys for their mutated brats out of it, they don't deserve better.

Or maybe 'hormesis' kicks in another evolutionary step, and they develop true psionics!1!!

Call me immoral, I'll call you whiney.
Have there been any leaks of the price yet?

We have gotten so much use out of our original switch I can't really imagine not picking it up, even if only to keep playing the games we already have.
Sure but there's a huge difference between companies that load the call with sales people and sell to execs vs bringing solutions architects and sales/customer engineers on the call and actually explaining the product and its benefits and coming up with a customer tailored solution.

We had a pretty positive experience with a Cloudflare contract last year but it sounds like Cloudflare is more the former than the latter.
The whole post feels like it came from a parallel universe. People adopted microservices because stack traces are too long! Exposing the implementation details of a function in its type signature is good! The most meaningful way to specify a function is by how it can fail (this one is fun, though)!
> I also found Trump's signalling in the whole issue odd. His base and his cabinet is full of the most hard-line pro-israel figures imaginable, but then he goes forward and quotes Jeffrey Sachs and ostensibly pressures Netanyahu into accepting the ceasefire.

Because you weren't listening to Trump. Throughout all of his campaigns he's been pretty clear he doesn't want to be paying for other country's defense/military spending.
People who believe this thing will not be underpowered compared to current gen hardware have obviously not followed Nintendo over the past 25 years.

No, you no underestand. That no problem. That solution.

Doing well and being dysfunctional are not mutually exclusive. Google is still a dysfunctional company.

At one point they had five different messaging apps. They bought Motorola and then sold it for pennies, quickly abandoned the Nexus line before then, and the Pixel isn’t taking the world by storm.

Their efforts in the home have been scattershot, they have three separate OS initiatives that are not based on the same platform, and have all but abandoned Flutter.

Also remember that RIMs stock price was at its peak around 2010 - 3 years after the iPhone came out.
Do you think non-SW engineering types in e.g. Nokia and Sony Ericsson also immediately knew?

I remember a lot of delusion the first year that then turned into bitterness - but I don't have the inside perspective, just hints of it from my then position at a software supplier to both.
Speaking of - does anyone know of an HTPC frontend which duplicates the look and feel of the Wii menu?
Great in theory, but only really works for first party games and does mean you occasionally end up with unfortunate situations like Tears of the Kingdom where it runs better on an emulator than the actual hardware.
I would guess much weaker, but IMO the switch's point is not raw performance but rather innovative gameplay and style
I have never thought about that!

Even if the last thing going through my head before sleep is related to programming (which is quite often the case), I cannot remember having dreamed of computers, ever.
I'm surprised that Nokia found out through the keynote presentation from Steve Jobs. LG and Prada announced their phone a little earlier and it had been shown already at the IF Design Awards a few months earlier.

Google "LG Prada Phone" for the Wikipedia article.

If Nokia had paid attention to those design awards then they too could have moved quickly on a similar device.
