I'm not following this comment at all, can you attach subjects to your predicates? That is, which website is a horror show and to which fight are you referring and who picked it?
This is missing the point. I have a 3rd gen SE and am not currently in the market for a new phone. The issue is that Apple is no longer selling anything to people who want a small iPhone. Moreover, the used market will dry up eventually, and iOS support will be dropped even sooner.
$599, 128gb base model.

Welp rip any interest a bunch of us had in an iphoneSE4.

What a fucking waste of time. The sad thing is I can accept that apple continually wants miserable storage base tiers, that ship has sailed and they will never see 256gb as logical starting points on a phone so damn expensive when their computers start at that horrid storage point.

If it was $499 I would have contemplated finally upgrading. At $599 I'll let everyone else beta test apples new modem in case its another 'you're holding it wrong' type of response if it underperforms in speed, connection quality, etc.
Thank you for writing this up, I'm glad I'm not the online one with the Android issues. Being able to put any software on it is nice, but it comes with a cost. The default Android jank along with the custom home screen makes the product difficult to use. I only wanted to read ebooks on the device but even that experience is not great and the reader app that comes with the device seems to be limited to pdfs. Additionally, there is 0 hand holding during set up. The packaging is top notch, but the QR code with instructions was hidden at the bottom under the device. I did not notice it until days later.

That being said, the screen technology is amazing and I hope they're able to continue the business. Unfortunately the bar for products is very high now but I think they have something here.
From a casual observer, it seemed like Microsoft's Majorana approach had hit a wall a few years back when there were retractions by the lead researchers. I wonder what's changed?

To be fair, HP buying Compaq in the early 2000s was pretty huge, considering they are doing decently well today because of their PC market share.
Makes sense, it never made sense to downgrade, I guess the Air should drop "Air" moving forward then...

I dunno, the old SE wasn’t a mini by any means - this is .3 inches taller and .2 inches wider, so yes bigger but not like a different size class altogether
This statement was sorely needed for this discussion to move forward. Hopefully the last section fills the needed parties with resolve
Can you explain what you mean by subtyping and if/how it negates the usefulness of repurposing (if that’s what you meant to say). Wouldn’t subtyping complement a drug repurposing screen by allowing the scientist to test compounds against a subset of a disease?

And drug repurposing is also used for conditions with no known molecular basis like autism. You’re not suggesting its usefulness is limited in those cases right?
I am hoping Apple at some point in the future will allow iphone owners who also own a Mac with an M series chip to run Apple Intelligence from the Mac to take advantage of faster compute and larger parameter models while still operating at the 'edge'. If the apple private cloud tech allows for a Tailscale like connectivity between your mac and all iphone/ipads on an icloud account I could see that as an additional hook to stay inside the apple ecosystem in addition to the benefits brought to bear by having a much more capable LLM to offload compute to without involving 3rd party AI companies. Perhaps bundle the feature with iCloud+ subscription?
Same is true of the RSS feed! No summaries, just the whole thing.

I do prefer to go to the blog because the blog handles footnotes better (hover works on desktop to show them in a popup, and tapping on them works correctly with the back button on mobile), and often the footnotes are really good.

A lot of the people that wanted a small iPhone jumped at the 12, so the 13 fixing the problems was a bit of a "too little, too late" situation.
Can it decrypt tls? Perhaps by hooking the calls to common libraries?
RSA in trouble when?
I got that feeling because of adjectives like “innovative”. Thought that it might be impolite to imply that in the comments, and was relieved that someone already did.

The premise of the article is still interesting.
For us: it is smaller and consumes less power, so the phone can have a bigger battery life.

For them: more control, lower marginal costs.
How big is your business? Is it relevant in the grand scheme of thing, or a rounding error in statistics?

Lack of MagSafe is disappointing. How much would it have cost to include? It's an intriguing feature that distinguishes iPhones from Android competitors. I wonder if the intention was to avoid cannibalizing its more expensive siblings.
Why is Hetzner not listed as AWS/GCP/Azure alternative, especially that it's mentioned in "About" section as a hosting platform for various services.

Related and perhaps useful: I’ve seen this in multiple cloud offerings already, where the cpu scaling governor is set to some eco-friendly value, in benefit to the cloud provider and in zero benefit to you and much reduced peak cpu perf.

To check, run `cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu/cpufreq/scaling_governor`.
It should be `performance`.

If it’s not, set it with `echo performance | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu/cpufreq/scaling_governor`. If your workload is cpu hungry this will help. It will revert on startup, so can make it stick, with some cron/systemd or whichever.

Of course if you are the one paying for power or it’s your own hardware, make your own judgement for the scaling governor. But if it’s a rented bare metal server, you do want `performance`.
Witness the pure arrogance of tech bros
Musk seems totally qualified to manage a team of programmers and a team of auditors based on his real-world experience managing companies that work in high tech and financial sectors. He seems infinitely more qualified than whatever political appointees were running federal departments.

I don't think we've reached the 'forensic' auditing stage, we're at the 'gathering information' stage. We see the smoke, now we'll need to investigate for fires. Basic payment controls not being present seem like a huge red flag to me. Is Musk lying? Maybe. Are bureaucrats incompetent? Absolutely. Take the example payments to prohibited entities such as terrorists groups being rubber stamped. That's pretty damning if true.

Two articles from left-wing Musk-hating media aren't going to be read by me because both of those institutions have a history of propaganda and outright lying.
The SE3 was 64 GB base, they upped the base storage here. I agree that the price isn’t very attractive. Internationally it’s even worse.
I have done both psychotherapy and lots and lots of yard work. The later has been much better for my psychic equilibrium than the former. But it is more meaningful when it improves your own environment, so better to do it in your own garden than someone else's farm.
Microsoft claims quantum breakthrough after 20-year pursuit of elusive particle
I totally agree. But it feels like, at least over the past 20ish years or so, that the increased "gambling-ification" of the stock market has made it so these events take longer to resolve (i.e it takes longer for the stock price to go to 0) even if all participants eventually think it will go to 0.

That is, even though the stock will (and, in this case, did) eventually go to 0 with very little statistical probably of an alternative, there is enough volatility in the interim that stock market participants are just playing that volatility in the short term (i.e. trying to time the market, trying to not be "bag holders" in WSB parlance) even if everyone knows in the long term it's going to 0.
this is a far better explanation than the article
Ask HN: In 2025, How Are You Finding Jobs Outside of LinkedIn as a Freelancer?
It feels like everyone is a developer these days! I swear, even my Uber driver last week was learning React between rides.

For those of us who have been freelancing for a while, it’s getting harder to stand out. LinkedIn has become a mix of "Open to Work" banners and recruiters ghosting after one message. Job boards? A race to the bottom. Cold emails? Feels like screaming into the void.

---> So, in 2025, how are you actually landing freelance or contract gigs?

- Are niche communities or hidden platforms working for you?
- Do personal blogs, Twitter, or YouTube bring in work?
- Any creative approaches that don’t involve selling an overpriced "personal brand" course?

Would love to hear what’s working for you (and what’s not). Let’s share strategies that *actually* help.

If you're looking for a remote freelance developer, I’m available!

The iPhone 13 Mini all by itself sold about the half of the rate of the entire Google Pixel lineup. There is a market for small phones from a reputable manufacturer.

A relative pointer with limited range is something that should rarely exist, and all too easily it can end up with a base that is no longer guaranteed to be adjacent. There's a lot of bonus landmines compared to just having a 64k element limit.

The most obvious issues with this is that the game boils down to predicting passenger patterns, but you're still just comparing two RNGs, which is one of the worst kinds of games. I also don't think this can be called Poker, really. Poker is an imperfect information game, where your hand tells you some information about your opponents' hands.

It would be interesting to read HN's ideas on how you can simulate the shared information part of the game in such a scenario.
Thanks. I don't do Youtube so this is news to me.

Reviewing based on a mate's copy is a little questionable but yes it does look like Arca Noae screwed up there.
Others already mentioned the impact band.

The more interesting question in pertinent scenario is whether countries will prevent asteroid deflection if it increases chance of randomly shifting impact to them by some %. I surmise no one will do anything to save someone elses ass, only their own, i.e. US saving India's ass but fragments end up over PRC and kills someone... congrats, just started WW3. Countries powerful enough to deflect, will risk fallout to avoid impact on itself... since weak suffer what they must.
Anecdotally, I've noticed an inverse relationship between ability to read and preference for oral communication.

My takeaway from this has been to prefer short, highly-formatted emails over meetings and chat. I put the "Bottom Line Up Front", try to limit paragraphs to two sentences (takeaway and detail), use indentation to indicate which sentence(s) are less important, and always direct questions at a particular person.

Email allows slow readers, slow thinkers, and slow writers to ingest, digest, and respond at their own pace.

I disagree with the author's hope for AI. "Orality" doesn't leave room for deep thought. It demands immediate response. It rewards those who keep talking. It doesn't allow for linking and references.
While we're getting AI that can show how it arrived at a response, and AI that can summarize your spoken words, we don't have AI that can show how you arrived at your response. That's on you.

I think this is conflating conservatism as a political position and conservatism as an anti-development position. Conservatism as a political position has very little to do with actual developmental changes and way more to do with retaining existing political hierarchies. If a new tool came into existence to enforce a existing caste systems (race, class, whatever) then political conservatism would be for this tool.

You can use mitmproxy and mitmweb to achieve the same. It is in Docker hub and you can pass environment variables to your other containers to make it work.

The TLS certificate setup is more tricky but that is always going to be a pain.

Burp Proxy is another great tool that is even more powerful but harder to set up.
Very unlikely. Also, the Touch ID in the iPad Air (and iPad mini) doesn’t work quite as well as the round Touch ID sensors on the Home buttons, due to the narrower shape and the placement. As a power button it’s also a bit clunky.

No they aren't. We've been making ICE vehicles for 100 years. The drivetrains are well understood and don't present any technical hurdles. Especially in trucks. EV heavy trucks are still pretty uncharted territory.
Agree, been working from home since 2011

This thread seems overly complex given that an engineer tasked with designing a RAID storage to replace an unplanned haberdashery would probably start with looking up what the requested acronym stands for.
Great questions.

Currently, I have IPv4 only (will change end of year to dual stack), and to block AS13414 (NetName TWITTER-NETWORK) blocking 104.244.40.0/21 to block x.com is suffice. However, if you follow [1] you have a more complete blocklist. In a *BSD you can use cron and curl to update these lists based on if a change occurred, OPNsense allows the same in their webUI. In that vein, I also have Tor exit node block list (this is public data), I have a Censys (& Co) blocklist. You name it.

I don't use DNS-based in this instance (I do for example, for porn, cause I have children). I use a firewall-based one in OPNsense. PF (and therefore OPNsense) have a feature called anchors (alias in OPNsense) which basically allows you to use OOP to develop lists.

I'm pretty sure Linux like OpenWrt can do the same, and you can also use DNS-based blocklists. You can even outsource the hosting to e.g. NextDNS. Because these blocklists, whether firewall or DNS-based filtering, they do use some RAM especially. Back when I started w/this in early '00s this was an issue on my Soekris OpenBSD machine. Nowadays, I assign 8 GB RAM to the VM and call it a day.

> I think it will be a very hard sell to add extra work for the production lines for a smaller size

The Toyota Corolla sells 1 million units a year worldwide - it's totally practical and realistic to set up a production line to make 1 million devices a year.

Apple sells 200 million iphones a year.

That's why they're happy to make the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max and 16e and offer them in 4-5 colours per model as well.

It's something else - probably sales.
that's nice they provided a list of bad domains
Is there a list of phrases and words to avoid, to not be accused of using AI? It's getting kind of ridiculous what people identify an "AI smell". I understand if the word "delve" shows up five times in as many paragraphs, I guess, but just having a "conclusion" section is a smell now? Using the word "innovative" is a smell?

I feel awfully sorry for kids in school these days. Teachers must think everything they write is AI, considering they're still learning to write effectively and probably like to use bullet points, popular phrases like "dive into", and structured layouts that include introduction and conclusion sections.
That's an illustration of the worldview where you only care about the exceptional in action. There has to be an interest in having a healthy and enjoyable society among all ranks, and care about more than just cutting edge science and engineering.
I totally agree with the sentiments in the video that the current state of agent architectures feels not there yet and we need an interoperable composable standard.

There is a difference between a straw man and satire presented in a clear tone that cannot be mistaken as a reconstruction of the other person’s statements.

A clearer straw man is the presentation of leaving a location a sparse few minutes earlier as significant cause and disproportionate offset of the also negligible time to pull a cable to a car to plug it in & briefly wrap & tuck it away when you leave.

I also clearly do understand that people may not mind a longer stop: I didn’t contradict that sentiment directly and otherwise expressly stated the opinion that each option seems to have somewhat equal offsetting considerations.
Now multiply that by 6 billion, because that apparently is the number of smartphones sold over the last few years.
