I think the fourth is quite a few people spotted what appeared to be happening in big tech, where if you have the right activists in only a few companies you could cover and (to some extent) control a lot of digit communication. The moment whatever issue du jour came up that they did not align with the big tech decision on, they noticed and started to distrust what they were seeing. It's possible that being a benevolent gatekeeper only works if you are extremely nonpartisan.
Thank you so much for your feedback. I will change these in the game and publish it with the next update.
I have an Ultra that I use for hiking. But I mostly don't wear it day to day because of the charging effort.
I think this is the normal trajectory of online forum. The initial cohort was positive and deeply invested into the topic. Over time, this initial cohort gets older and start to have life, slowly being replaced by new people. As long new people share initial ideas and archetype, it can continue to work well.

For HN case, initial cohort either become too busy with life and success and left forum or become jaded and skeptical about startups by experiencing it by themselves. The second group is still very active here, driving a lot of sentiment in discussion. HN also changed audience to be more general techy forum that startup forum. There are more people that want to discuss politics instead of technology (see deepseek, UK hardware talent to AMA with Peter Roberts). Any post about hiring is full of people whining about leetscode. Posts about process are full of agile haters. Even product lunches are full of open-source zealots, discussion of unrelated stuff like rust or useless feedback about website working slowing on 10 years old android phone with JS disabled. There is very little content for aspiring founders.

Finally, there is value in HN for discovery, just not for startup. You can learn more about startup/VC from Y Combinator YouTube channel, Saastr or even Harry Stebbings podcast.

> Is coffee good for you? What about wine or chocolate? Scientists trying to answer these questions

There is a virtually infinite amount of cofounding variables, genetics, meal timing, fitness level, sedentarity, &c. . It's a 80/20 type of problem, do the 80, forget about the 20, you'll never be able to get your answers anyways.

If you look and feel like shit you're most likely eating like shit. If you look and feel good a glass of wine every now and then or a bite of chocolate after dinner won't do much.
Consciouss eating.

One can (and should) extend that concept to anything. Be conscious about what you do. Then you likely know, if you are not doing good - and can change it.
I spent 7 years developing note taking app [video]
I picked up an Epix Pro during the holiday sales. Aware that they'd had a data breach, I was dismayed to find there is no way to get the data off it without using an app and that app won't even start without an account. Despite the settings, wouldn't show up as a storage device when connected (on Linux).

I noped right out. Reeked of surveillance capitalism. Shame because I did like the hardware. Is there a dumb watch that's got a good enough screen for hiking maps and the ability to SOS without sending Walmart and the NSA my realtime heart rate?
> Called The Precession of the Equinoxes or Axial Precesion, the ancient societies including Egypt were also aware of this

The earliest ancients that seem to have figured it out were the Greeks around 200 BC. It is questionable/controversial whether the Ancient Egyptians knew about it:

> iirc Christmas and other mythological holidays are related to the "birth" and "death" of the north star movements, along with the sun and venus.

Christmas is more likely linked to the day of Easter via the 'calculation hypothesis' than any astronomical event (or pagan celebration):

This is what happened to me when I needed to lose weight. The act of counting calories more or less completely revamped my diet in a positive way.

Turned out I was also stupidly deficient on protein day to day.
The general philosophy of these CI systems is flawed. Instead of CI running your code, your code should run the CI. In other words, the CI should present an API such that one can have arbitrary code which informs the system of what is going on. E.g. "I'm starting jobs A,B,C", "Job A done successfully", "This file is an artifact for job B".

Information should only from from the user scripts to the CI, and communication should be done by creating files in a specific format and location. This way the system can run and produce the same results anywhere provided it has the right environment/container.
My thinking is that the linter only has to operate on the code that was actually checked in. And just how many things are you checking about it, anyway?

I remember using a Garmin Edge 1000 to navigate through a city I don't know. I could see the street I should be on running parallel to where I was but couldn't find the correct turn to take me there.

Then the Garmin popped a big modal dialogue over the top of the map to tell me I was on the wrong street. Worse still a few spots of rain meant the screen locked and I couldn't dismiss the modal.

I came to the same conclusion, that the UI wasn't designed by some one that rode a bike.

I have to say they've got better over time though. I've had a Garmin 530 for a few years and an Epix 2 watch that I like much better. I love that the Epix can be operated with just the buttons.
That probably doesn't work either unless they work in an automated fashion. Did the chef put two or three dashes (official SI unit) of this or that on your meal? A a "dash" or "splash" or "spritz" of certain things can easily mean 100-200 kcal. And if you deal with things like meat, maybe the cut you get today is more or less lean than what you got last week.

I think tracking calories for a couple of weeks can be very enlightening for a lot of people, granted you don't have a personality type where this can get you into trouble. But for the long haul it's not really useful or even feasible, you're better off getting to know what sort of way of eating suits you best and how to correct if you're getting off course. Anyone can stick to a very strict regime for three months, but the trick is to stick to a proper diet you can enjoy for three decades and then three decades more.
Ah, right, yeah, that makes more sense. I was thinking of something more like the old twitter->mastodon migration tools (which relied on access to the twitter API).
I have long said there are two kinds of diet studies: those that don't apply to you because you are not confined to a hospital bed or prison cell; and those that conclude despite our best effort we couldn't get people to eat their assigned diet.
You reduce the uncertainty of the remaining 20 by substantially increasing sample size across a randomly selected sample.

Unfortunately for these studies you have multiple selection criteria that are nonrandom:

(1) interest in the study

(2) adherence to protocol of the study

(3) reporting back in

If nutrition science wants to be serious, their N should not be in the 10s but rather the 10,000s.

That has an expense, but for important things it is absolutely the right thing to do.
I found it interesting that they mention Tomtom as being a footnote.

In the UK, TomTom was much bigger than Garmin for in-car GPS:

It guess they didn't have the same market penetration / dominance in the US market.
You are assuming that the underreporting will be uniform. In reality people may be underrporting things they are embarrassed about and maybe even overreporting the opposite.

This is a flaw in the data that is much harder to account for.

While I agree that LLMs cannot replace humans and that a job cannot simply be reduced to a bunch of LLM tasks, they definitely do accelerate a human’s potential to do more tasks efficiently. This is the key for the capitalists to exploit. For a job that required 10 humans, they will let go 4 humans and equip the remaining 6 to take on the load of 10 but with assistance of LLMs. To be honest this was done even before LLMs, now LLMs are just an alibi for cost cutting.

You still have 4 people that have been let go who will need to find a way to earn a living in this competitive market.
It takes some effort, but there’s a lot to gain. When I track what I eat and keep my daily calories in check, I feel much better. If I’m unsure of the exact calorie count, I’ll estimate a bit higher - around 1.2x.
There's a lesson to be learned here for small bootstrapped SaaS founders. You can still succeed (as a lifestyle business) even when Big Tech has a competing product. Who would pay for email when Gmail is free? And yet FastMail does well. There are many, many, smaller companies that may not be VC-scale, and yet manage to build profitable, sustainable, businesses on top of a good niche product, even when competing against VC funded giants.

A 2021 PopMech article about the US military's revival of interest in celestial navigation: https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/research/a36078957... It mentions a handheld system designed for special forces units to use, but I assume that that would incorporate something like a camera gyro stabiliser, presumably making the calculations easier than when relying on "strapdown" sensors.
Yeah, I have tried a few times to keep track via Cronometer but I can never keep it up. Eating out is the killer, as you say. I find I often don't even have a frame of reference for estimating the amount of calories. With the amount of sauces and oil that go into a lot of stuff, I feel like a lot of things could as easily be 1,200 calories as 500 calories.

This seems like magical thinking.
In that case I have absolutely no idea what point you're trying to make. What coupling are you talking about, and why is it a problem? What do you mean by "carting around a bunch of Python stuff", and why and how is it "useful" to avoid that?
They do not "just" rebrand it.

OpenEUICC needs a rooted phone, while the provider-branded packages like EasyEUICC can run in user space (and thus needs to be signed with the corresponding hash).

-----8<-----

There are two variants of this project:

OpenEUICC: The full-fledged privileged variant.
Due to its privilege requirement, OpenEUICC must be placed inside /system/priv-app and be signed with the platform certificate.

The preferred way to including OpenEUICC in a system image is to build it along with AOSP.

Note: When privileged, OpenEUICC supports any eUICC chip that implements the SGP.22 standard, internal or external. However, there is no guarantee that external (removable) eSIMs actually follow the standard. Please DO NOT submit bug reports for non-functioning removable eSIMs. They are NOT officially supported unless they also support / are supported by EasyEUICC, the unprivileged variant.

EasyEUICC: Unprivileged version that can run as a user app.
This version supports two modes of operation:
Inserted, removable eSIMs: Due to obvious security requirements, EasyEUICC is only able to access eSIM chips whose ARF/ARA contains the hash of EasyEUICC's signing certificate.

USB CCID Card Readers: Only T=0 readers that use the standard USB CCID protocol are supported. In this mode, EasyEUICC can access any eSIM chip loaded in the card reader regardless of their ARF/ARA, as long as they implement the SGP.22 standard.

Prebuilt release-mode EasyEUICC apks can be downloaded here
For removable eSIM chip vendors: to have your chip supported by official builds of EasyEUICC when inserted, include the ARA-M hash 2A2FA878BC7C3354C2CF82935A5945A3EDAE4AFA

But at that point, does it fit a startup definition?

In my view, startups always involve rapid growth and VC money to achieve it. If the company doesn't meet that criteria, isn't that simply a regular business?
I had a review copy of a separate sleep monitor band that you slept on top of from a company that I think Apple bought. Basically I thought it was mostly an interesting curiosity and (possibly) a reasonable first diagnostic step if you suspect you have sleep issues.

However, for me, the results looked reasonable most nights and for those nights when I didn't sleep well for whatever reason, I mostly knew that was the case without the device results.
This looks interesting but I think the "mostly built by AI" doesn't go well with the HN crowd.

Did you (or the AI) code the editor too? That's great. If it was another VSCode fork I wouldn't upvote.
Who ends up owning what is a political decision.

This can be seen by looking at very different Danish situation, which also existed, and which resulted from a situation which at one point probably did not differ substantially from that is Sweden.

I think the goal must always be that as many people as possible have as much power as possible, so that they are forced to exercise it and thereby get used to making decisions. If one ends up in the Danish situation, then it's reasonable to use violence to get at least to the Swedish situation, otherwise your descendants may end up as the British lower classes, which an unacceptable state.

Think like in the game Go. You calculate the score at the end and ask yourself what you want to become of your eventual descendants.
Meta: For some reason, HN replaced the tilde in the title of the article with a dash, making it seem like Garmin did a negative 40B pivot, instead of approximately. Why is that?
I find the way we measure calories very interesting: place the food in a metal box filled with oxygen, immerse the box in water, make the food explode so that it combusts completely, and finally measure how much the water heats up.

Rather crude and fun, but that's it, see Bomb Calorimeter. I guess it makes sense in retrospect, how else would you do it?

They usually just measure standard basic ingredients, then you roughly match them to your recipe and add it up. No wonder food labelling is just a ballpark.
For those that "track and weight everything" (how ?) do you manage ?:

- sauces you make yourself? I often mix some different oils, mustard, seeds, miso, bit of leamon juice and spices… but weighting and logging everything will take 3x the time to do the sauce itself

- different cooking time in one receive : oignons going first, tomato sauce in the middle and parsley at the end (but still cook a bit with residual heat)

- Leftovers nutrients decrease with time

- counting how much you take of a meal shared with others, especially when you serves yourself multiple time

- different species/cultivation methods like the rustic small and dense cucumber from your neighbor and the spongy one from the supermarket in January

I have the feeling that might have been easy at some point in my life when I lived alone and mostly eat packaged food and raw vegetable that looked like clones but not when I share my meal, cook a lot more raw un-barcoded aliments and gained confidence to dose "by the eye" without recipes.
Fact check: almost totally correct, most founded in 2009 except Airbnb which was 2007. Interesting. Seems like 2009 was a good year for startups; I guess building at the market bottom is a good way to ride the market up.
> Those two words, "I Matter" is I believe a fundamental requirement of what is it to be human. To my great surprise, there are people who actually actively disagree with that. "Mattering does not matter very much". Maybe you are one of those, I don’t know, I don’t know you. Those people should indeed accept and welcome the AGI. No human will matter anymore but who cares ? Great healthcare, great education, great entertainments.

Yes there will be a crisis of meaning, in fact in most secular societies there already is one (how much meaning can you derive from preparing a balance sheet or handling customer support tickets?).
Some societies will deal much better with unemployment - mostly religious societies.
If we can create societies of abundance (where you get most services for pretty much free due to A.I) I think we will solve the crisis of meaning with family, friends, hobbies and really good next generation T.V and computer games.

In the grand scheme of things most of us understand we don't matter at all (at least I don't think I matter in any significant way, nor does humanity as a whole imo), but we do need a reason to get up in the morning, somewhere to go and interact with society. We matter to our families and close friends if it makes you feel better.
The benefits of the Minnesota Starvation Study were that both food intake and physical activity could be accurately tracked. If we had a draft and there were conscientious objectors, would similar studies be possible as alternative service? I suspect that our ethical concerns now are greater than they were back then, so maybe it wouldn't be possible to conduct.
You seem to think that predicting s t -> s t is easier than predicting st (single token) -> s t.

Of all the incredible things that LLMs can do, why do you imagine that something so basic is challenging to them?

In a trillion token training set, how few examples of spelling are you thinking there are?

Given all the specialized data that is deliberately added to training sets to boost performance in specific areas, are you assuming that it might not occur to them to add coverage of token spellings if it was needed ?!

Why are you relying on what you believe to be true, rather than just firing up a bunch of models and trying it for yourself ?
Oh, it's somewhat arbitrary, but Facebook was founded in 2004 and by 2010 no longer counts to me as a "startup". I suppose 2010 is still pre-IPO (2012) and therefore has a chance for advantageous stock grants.

(Not lost in all this: over the years the tax treatment of option grants has changed! It used to be a hugely advantageous way of giving employees something of value, and that's been eroded a lot.)
You might not agree with these policies, but they are defensible, sensible policies and not that much different from polices and statements under Obama.
I think the more reasonable interpretation is that OP is currently looking to date someone. They (as one generally does) hope it will go well, in which case they might want to cement their relationship through marriage. However, they are worried that if they do get married, they may not be able to move to the USA with their spouse.
Keeping this up and we might need to start introducing version management tools to the U.S. government.

You can only vouch if the story is flagged and dead
You can get knowledge collapse.

But even though there are counter-examples (e.g. learning Go from self-play based only on the rules), IMO — based on how often people were already doing this with buggy human-written software[0][1] — most people don't think about this in the right way and will therefore treat these things as magical oracles when they shouldn't.

No silver bullets.

The Apple Watch has had a cellular option since 2017 with a built in eSIM.

There is a separate number as far as billing. But the cellular carrier pairs your cellular watch with an iPhone on the same network. So calls come in and go out as if they were coming from your iPhone’s number. Whenever someone calls your phone - they both ring.

If your phone is on and close enough to your watch so they are connected via Bluetooth (or WiFi?), all data and voice communication is relayed through your phone to save battery life.

If your watch isn’t connected to your phone, the Watch uses cellular.

Roaming support for Apple Watches was just announced in 2022 and is still not ubiquitous
Lots of things use Wasm/WaSI as a plugin interface/runtime everything so I really question your closing point. It’s more intended that you compile to it from other higher level languages like C, C++, Rust, C# etc. than writing the text format for example.

I suspect the reason it hasn’t become commonplace to build web UIs with it is because your average frontend dev isn’t too familiar with those languages or their UI libraries nor writing a browser compatible rendering backend for them.
Yeah, I first learned that from the "HOW TO SKATE A 10K" ebook[0] that was posted here[1] a while ago. He talks about how he tracked heart rate to figure out when he was going to get sick.

I then started looking back at my historical garmin data, pretty much everytime I was sick, my HRV would drop a few days before. I then started monitoring my HRV closer and taking it easy whenever it dropped. Anecdotal data from one person here, but I found that I get sick less and when I do get sick, it's usually not as bad.

Coming here after reading the second linked story in this article unexpected (and read this too) just before writing this thought, a new definition of startup is badly needed. The reason is that in the second story, half of the startups were mere ideas and were never executed/launched in the first place.

Furthermore, according to statistics, 1 out of 10 startups succeed on average or 90% startups fail within the first 10 years of launch.

So, we can say that startup is actually a winter game from the beginning.
I came across a comment as a humorous rule of thumb for this.
