Across 70k apps, just finding ones you might want to deal with and investing in dealing with them is a chore for the consumer. Especially with so many derivative/clone apps, the "best" will get some money and the rest basically none. With so little real value add by so many, you might need a good micropayment system. If we can't be bothered to pay more than USD 0.001 per song play to a musical artist, why would we pay more than that for an app use?

Supply/demand. More apps, less revenue per app.
No, you can't print in Krita. Also, GIMP's transform tools are more powerful.
In what sense is reserving address space not "preallocating memory"? It might not be allocated to an object, but it certainly is allocated to your process... yes?
The Chrome sale will pay for something like this it seems.

I'll first point out I'm a one in a thousand user and not a good representative of the users that will frequent your site - I have denied a few (I have deemed dodgy) sites that provide API services.

So for your site, imagine using google search bar, one is able to type in the query but when hitting the spy glass icon nothing happens. Nor does hitting the return key do a thing - but in your instance you have a text box so the return key just enters a new line in that box.

The behaviour of the launch icon [which I gather on your site would be the up arrow in a circular button] not working is not unique to your site, I experience this often enough, and no doubt I have blocked the host of one of the APIs used to build the gui instance to return the query data.
This is super cool - I definitely have a lot to learn from this.
I can probably use this for my project theretowhere.com

That’s… unironically a good thing. Most economies are currently being burned by asset price inflation
Well, it seems to me that the current situation of ever increasing wealth inequality is unsustainable.

Can you suggest some sort of middle ground?
I couldn’t tell you what the benefit of cockroach db is or what it’s used for, but I’ve been using Gimp for the majority of its life.
You actually really can’t extrapolate too much from existing weapons when the nuke was dropped. The singular, overwhelming devastation of that one weapon radically altered international politics forever.
Agreed, surprisingly capable in 3.0 compared to latest krita or inkscape. Krita 5.3 is supposed to get a major overhaul for text as well (real time preview, on-canvas editing).

One of the comments in the linked thread also suggested a fleet of dash cams which also sounds plausible, I could totally see some manager saying "we need to archive all the dash cam video for legal liability reasons!" and now someone is stuck with this job.

Maybe nit-picking but the article started out problematic for me with their placement of "maybe?" after the scientific method in their definitions. Without the scientific method as the basis, science is meaningless. Both the ways they define the "idealized concept" are 100% applicable to religions and other lines of thought. It is the methodology of science that differentiates science from all the other ways of doing those things.
May I ask a not so smart question... What is the big deal with thumbnails for YouTube videos. Like, I am always hearing about these thumbnails as if they can make or break a video/channels outcomes.
I opened GIMP once. I won't do it again until somebody compares a UI update to Blender's big one. 2.9?
The article title is strange and misleading, because RevenueCat's report covers only apps that use its subscription platform.
The mystery is in how the data is encoded in the parameters and why LLMs performance scales so well with parameters. The key seems to be almost orthogonal vectors that allow neural networks to store so much data. They allow 2^(cn) vectors to be learned in an n-dimensional space with c being a constant.Since almost orthogonal vectors have very small dot products, they minimally interfere with each other, allowing many concepts to coexist with limited cross talk which enables superposition
I know it sounds boring, but did anyone suggest a second computer if this is an actual problem and not just a for fun challenge?
With the size of Harvard’s endowment, 11% of its operating income coming from federal sources, and its tax exempt status, it’s hard to understand why anyone has to pay tuition regardless of need.
There are reasons for rental apart from "can't afford to buy". If you don't want to/can't commit to staying in one place for >5 years then rental is often a better option from sheer practicality. And if house prices aren't going through the roof because there's adequate supply, it's not necessarily a better financial option either.

(basically, renting isn't the problem, lack of supply of housing is, and abusive rental markets are a symptom)

Well fuck them very much. They wouldn't even cover the tuition for families of faculty or workers unlike the small technical college down the street previously.

There's still some good teachers there, but a lot of them have left the rat race that the admin created. The beurocratic hellhole sitting in harvard yard is more interested in lining their pockets than in education.

There is a similar 'setup' with other large voting blocks. For example, the ex-pat Cuban community, who resent Castro, make it difficult for America to normalize relations with Cuba.
Cool, tuition should be taxpayer funded by the American people, namely the super wealthy.
20 Years of HN
Free speech in the USA seems to have a Palestine exception.

The number of logical fallacies in this set of events is pretty strange. First they conflate anti-semitism with protesting what many credible people have called a genocide. Then the US government is stripping $400M in funding to pressure the university to do these things. Lastly, these students are not charged with crimes, so they are punishing them for non-criminal actions.

Weird times.
Because they can. The thumbnails are the first impression of a video, and if it isn't attention-grabbing, the video suffers.

Krita is not as excruciating as the gimp.
gosh, they should fix their UI first. 8GB of RAM while trying to create new API key is not cool.
Very cool! What did you use to make the ER diagram?
At the end of a video, youtube shows thumbnails for several "suggested next videos".

The thumbnail, video name and channel name are the only bits of information potential viewers see - if your thumbnail isn't good, they aren't even going to _start_ your video, let alone keep watching it.
Shouldn't this be handled by the browser?
I had to script an install of ADE recently and apparently the only way to successfully silent install it is to create a registry key that pretends Norton 360 is installed, because their installer has a Norton Security Scan thing injected in which their silent flag doesn't handle.
Hello! Nick here from BARD Tracker, one of the ten teams. Just thought I would introduce myself here on HN and reach out in case anyone has questions. We are currently offering free access to a small set of Beta testers. Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you are interested! :)
Think of it like a book cover. Regardless of a book's title or summary, an attractive (attracting? attention grabbing?) cover will get more people to click it. Also depending on where the thumbnail is displayed, you may not see the full video title, such as the grid after a video finishes playing.
There are a lot of other things that money should go towards before college tuition. Maybe we start with our abysmal primary and secondary education.
Zero-knowledge proofs, encoding Sudoku and Mario speedruns without semantic leak
I once worked in a design research lab for a famous company. There was a fairly senior, respected guy there who was determined to kill the keyboard as an input mechanism.

I was there for about a decade and every year he'd have some new take on how he'd take down the keyboard. I eventually heard every argument and strategy against the keyboard you can come up with - the QWERTY layout is over a century old, surely we can do better now. We have touchscreens/voice input/etc., surely we can do better now. Keyboards lead to RSI, surely we can come up with input mechanisms that don't cause RSI. If we design an input mechanism that works really well for children, then they'll grow up not wanting to use keyboards, and that's how we kill the keyboard. Etc etc.

Every time his team would come up with some wacky input demos that were certainly interesting from an academic HCI point of view, and were theoretically so much better than a keyboard on a key dimension or two... but when you actually used them, they sucked way more than a keyboard.

My takeaway from that as an interface designer is that you have to be descriptivist, not prescriptivist, when it comes to interfaces. If people are using something, it's usually not because they're idiots who don't know any better or who haven't seen the Truth, it's because it works for them.

I think the keyboard is here to stay, just as touchscreens are here to stay and yes, even voice input is here to stay. People do lots of different things with computers, it makes sense that we'd have all these different modalities to do these things. Pro video editors want keyboard shortcuts, not voice commands. Illustrators want to draw on touch screens with styluses, not a mouse. People rushing on their way to work with a kid in tow want to quickly dictate a voice message, not type.

The last thing I'll add is that it's also super important, when you're designing interfaces, to actually design prototypes people can try and use to do things. I've encountered way too many "interface designers" in my career who are actually video editors (whether they realize it or not). They'll come up with really slick demo videos that look super cool, but make no sense as an interface because "looking cool in video form" and "being a good interface to use" are just 2 completely different things. This is why all those scifi movies and video commercials should not be used as starting points for interface design.
Very cool and looks great. Good luck going forward!
I was a really poor manager. I hated every minute of it.

Well come back around. We will retry the flat structure again, realize that just leads to terrible throughput, team wise political battles and defacto leaders and start hiring the managers again. Just look at older industries that have reached a steady state because they’ve been around longer. No one is constructing a large building without a project manager, foremen or architects.

Developers get marked to market quite quickly in annual reviews, if not sooner. Junk PRs, bad code, tons of bugs, acting like a jerk - it catches up fast. I've seen devs walked out the door in first 90 days of probationary period, or cut in their first annual review.

For a manager there is a longer leash as the things they can impact are harder to measure with long and variable lags. So it can take 3 years easily for an obviously bad manager to be dealt with.
Saving $2.1B to $3.6B means the 13,834 management positions pay between $150,000 to $260,000 per year. Plus benefits and other incentives I suppose.

I’ve experienced so many kinds in 12 years including those who were incredible to work with and those who contributed nothing, and a bunch in between.
The people who lent funding and technology (in the form of humanized mice) to the virus engineering efforts at at Wuhan were also involved in the creation of the Proximal Origins paper that they pretended was impartial and showed the virus was natural and the result of zoonotic spillover.

* The contract number for this research from NIAID was (I believe) R01 1R01AI110964. This was probably funding the research described in the DARPA "Defuse" document, but I believe that it was meant to be a secondary source of funding. [0]

* We relied on the US funder of the gain of function research to dictate what treatments everyone was going to be allowed or not.

* A. G. Huff, a former manager at Ecohealth Alliance, wrote (among other things) that Ecohealth Alliance not only played fast and loose with federal contracting rules, but would fund experiments in advance of and in anticipation of gaining federal contracts to cover the cost of said research. You can find his book on amazon. [1]

* From the very early days of the pandemic there were fraudulent papers on how to treat the disease. Some of the very first ones were the Surgisphere papers which used an essentially fictional, fabricated database and were in turn used to limit treatment options for covid. This included not just novel antivirals like HCQ and Ivermectin but also more common drugs such as azithromycin and ACE inhibitors. These papers continued to be cited authoritatively _after_ they were retracted. [2]

* About that ACE-inhibitor paper? Well, there were later studies that found out it was not only wrong, but harmful, because ACE inhibitors helped for covid: [3] [4] [5] [6]

So, yes, there were lies about the disease's origin and how to treat it when roughly two million people died from it in the US.

* At the time when basically everything _but_ Remdesivir was off limits to US patients, the WHO was recommending _against_ its use for covid. [7]

Is AdGuard Home a solution for this, will a Roku still work with DNS ad blocking?
Covid-19 changed the world (and didn't)
In my experience, browser extensions are more one-and-done than network-level ad blocking like pi-hole. I can’t think of any time I’ve had to override a UBO rule but many popular pi-hole blocklists have a fair number of false positives.

> Harvard says tuition will be free for families making $200K or less

I read this as Harvard being more stringent on admitting more students whose families make enough to pay their children’s tuition.

There’s nothing wrong with that. Harvard has to make money.

If you think I’m wrong, understand that there will be limited funding available for this program.
> Higher voltages improve transmission efficiency, in particularly for connectors, as long as sufficient insulation is easy to maintain. Datacenters are looking at 48V for a reason.

What datacenters are doing has little bearing on what's worth the replacement and reengineering cost in a SOHO environment. Datacenters have multiple orders of magnitude more power they need to deal with than a SOHO user.

Also, given the long-standing existence of the 80 Plus program, I'm also pretty suspicious of claims that switching to HVDC inside the computer chassis will have an effect on a end-user's power bill that's not washed out by the increased expense of the replacement components. Will it? Do you have the numbers?

> (sometime connectors even only work once!)

I've been building PCs for decades. While I totally believe that there are such connectors, I've never been so unlucky as to encounter one.

> They are numerous orders of magnitude more rugged than any internal connector you've used.

Some? Sure. Any? Hell no. For example: You cannot honestly claim that a bigass ATX power connector is less resistant to shear force than the tiny wafer that is the USB-C connector. I've had many USB-C cables (and some ports!) fail at the connector end due to stresses that ATX cables handle just fine.

But yeah, I totally agree that -say- SATA connectors, or "freestanding" front-panel pin connectors are far more vulnerable to shear and torque than USB-C connectors.
Non-destructive editing is a huge shift for GIMP that's really exciting to see. I'm quite happy with Rawtherapee so I don't know if I'll go back to GIMP, but the fact that you won't have to create a bazillion extra layers with backups of your work will be a huge step forward.
New gimp just dropped.
Me and my peers the professional community I'm in have been finding it very distributed traffic, evolving to often be thousands of IPs making only a few requests each, often well-distributed over the planet, and not infrequently from ASNs that include consumer traffic. We suspect it's malware controlled botnets. And trying to block by range or ASN frequently seems to result in the traffic simply hopping to new ranges. Blocking ASNs hasn't been working for us.

"LLM crawler" is just a guess, although my best guess too. But what I can say is they appear to be scrapers/crawlers that are just really stupid and not concerned that they're spending lots of time on useless/duplicate content, apparently whoever is running it doesn't care about the cost. (Another thing that would be congruent with it running on stolen hardware botnets).

Fun fact: if we taxed all income over $500,000 at a 100% tax rate it wouldn’t even cover our current budget deficit, let alone allow for such a massive spending increase.

Mostly everything.

It's like working at a factory, pushing a button as fast as humanly possible.

And coders are treated like button pushers as a consequence.
this question reeks of

> have you stopped beating your wife?

or, more fairly

> how do we force people to pay for content?

Intellectual property, as a property, is such a fundamentally busted idea to the point of absurdity. One of the symptoms of it presents itself in your very question.

The better option comes from the question

> how do we allow people to pay for it.

If you haven't lately, watch someone stream on twitch, people enjoy paying for stuff they like. Go look at any of the artists who release their albums for donations. Same outcome, when people don't feel taken advantage of, or abused they want to contribute fairly.

Will there be people who abuse it, yes, but how's DRM working? Torrents still exist. There's not a single thing I haven't been able to download without permission. DRM doesn't stop motivated people. It only motivates people like me who consider it toxic, to break it.

If I wanted to read a book, and could download it from a library, but I had to promise to delete it when I was done. Or I had to click a button to return it. I would. I would follow those rules because I agree with them. But if I wanted to read a book, that I wasn't willing to pay for, and my library couldn't give it to me in a format that works on my remarkable. Well I know how torrents work.

Are there better solutions than DRM. Yes trusting people. Even trusting those who you know you cant trust.

And then trusting people like me, with more than enough money, who will pay more than I think you could force the average individual to pay, because I want to support people creating art I enjoy. And I want people who can't afford it, people like past me, to enjoy it too.

It's a funny thing that, the only people I'm willing to give money to, already give away their content for free...

> BERT was nothing short of a revolution in the field when it happened. You could cleanly draw a line pre-BERT and post-BERT. After it came out, something absurd like 95% of papers used it. It was so good, nobody could ignore it.

>Naively, you’d think such a revolutionary paper would be met with open arms. But when it was given the best paper award (at NAACL 2019), the postdocs I talked to universally grumbled about it. Why? It wasn’t interesting, they bemoaned. “It just scaled some stuff up.”

I still hear people making this complaint, despite the extraordinary success of scaling over the last few years.

It's pretty clear that scaling is the winning method (although exactly how to make best use of scale is an open question), but many researchers find it repulsive.
