I just wanted to say that I LOVED Glider 4 when I was a kid. I had an Amiga 500 and later a 1200 but probably played Glider more than anything else, except maybe Frontier Elite 2, in my father's Macintosh LC.

Getting the macro focus is pretty interesting.

It was to some of us the main differenciator with the non-a series, and for comparison the iPhone 16e also didn't get a macro mode. Given how solid the previous a series were, this looks like a really good phone.
So then why did almost all other major smartphone brands follow Apple's lead in removing the headphone jack?
As an iPhone+AW (S6) user, I consider the two devices married, perhaps even sharing the same mind. Almost everything that I can do with one is instantly and transparently mirrored on the other.

I can still leave my phone at home, and since I don't have a mobile connection on the watch (intentionally), it means I'm truly and fully offline - but I get to keep many features. I can listen to music (direct connection to BT headphones), tick items off the shopping list, pay for stuff, look up my schedule, etc. Some things could work offline where they currently don't (e.g. weather, maps/public transport), but the caching/syncing is overall surprisingly decent.

Unfortunately, it's all using private APIs, no third party watch has the same access, and you can't e.g. pair the AW with an iPad. But otherwise I think it should be the golden standard (perhaps DMA could get Apple to open up the APIs).
Cellular automata are actually useful to learn something about AI, too:

Eh, there's choosing a hill and there's voting with your wallet, and I'm doing the latter. Judging by the article I linked, if anybody's choosing a hill to die on it's 404.
You are looking at the problem the wrong way.

If you have a democracy then the laws of the land should be those that are agreed by general consent - give or take - and as such applying those laws to people in a way that means they are accountable for their actions isn't a problem - in fact it's the long standing bedrock of civilisation.

The problem in China isn't that they can catch people breaking their laws, it's a problem with how those laws are set in the first place.

So the real issue is stopping a move towards authoritarianism which is a whole larger conversation.

So in the issue above - about the journalist - the question should be about whether the particular hate speech law is correct, rather than worrying about if they appear to breach it whether they can be caught.
An interesting question although the article doesn't really go into it, rather it is about the delusions of the crypto "industry".

Casey Handmer doesn't get it yet but if he keeps thinking about it seriously he'll eventually come to the same conclusion Eric Drexler did which is that space colonization is not about heavy lift capacity but is really about advanced manufacturing and the practicality of it is really about lowering the number N of people required to bootstrap a colony as small as possible. (It's thought that N=10,000 is desirable from a genetics standpoint, but you can send 100x that many eggs, from a heavy lift perspective I am thinking more like N=50 religious fanatics.)

My son would insist that N=0 and that we should send robots ahead to bootstrap the manufacturing system to build a comfortable environment ahead of sending colonists but that winds up like WALL-E and you don't really need to have a job there.
Dan McCrum: $1.4B is a lot to fall through the cracks, even for Tesla
From the FT journalist who broke the Wirecard fraud story: an interesting eyebrow-raise regarding Tesla's financial accounting.
According to Lars Moravy, the front gigacasting and steer-by-wire were not implemented for the new Model Y due to them having trouble switching the supply chain over [1]. I guess the 800V is for the same reason. Lars said it was much easier for the Cybertruck to change to the newer systems because they expected lower sales numbers. The Model Y on the other hand has to go into mass production straight away at 3 different factories, and they wanted to keep the production process the same at all three (he talks about this at 28:50).

SpaceX doesn't exist without NASA. And without SpaceX NASA would be still stuck in the 90s. It is a mutually beneficial relationship and clearly benefits the US.
Can you stop moving the goalposts? There's a ready-to-go open source solution for MacOS [1] that exposes a REST API [2] for interacting with iMessage which allows automation and the sky hasn't fallen like you predicted it would. Professional spammers would no doubt be way ahead in capabilities.

Relying on clients to stop spam would break just about every security design principle so that could never be the primary spam filtering mechanism. Indeed, if you search Github, you'll find evidence of this [3].

Allowing a third party gadget to talk to an iPhone to send messages isn't going to open the floodgates to spam any more than they already are, for what I think are pretty obvious reasons. Anyone who could exploit those integrations can already exploit current APIs with exactly the same limitations.

> In contrast you need to hook into Apple APIs / scripting / sqlite databases on trusted apple hardware in order to automate iMessage.

And that wouldn't change, you would still need to pair a real iPhone to your fake "spammer edition" Pebble, and then your Apple ID and iPhone would quickly get banned. Presumably just like it does now if you abuse [1][2], otherwise that's just bad design.

It's frankly ridiculous that this is even being suggested on a "hacker" forum with nothing but wishy-washy qualifiers about how easy or "hard" it would be.

This is how it is in my part of the US. Not so much houses as large luxury apartment buildings aimed at the wealthy (and being built with taxpayer subsidies). They are doing nothing to address the very real housing shortage.

> can’t stand these elitist and unoriginal think pieces about how much better and cooler

Aren't you saying the same thing, putting them down? You could both be curious about each other.
I built an entire site making it meet the complete spec (with some esoteric tings, it's a non profit) in one day yesterday with Roocode and Claude 3.7 Sonnet. It cost about $30 in total (appreciate I could do it cheaper but was using anthropic api directly). It's amazing, it would have taken me a couple of weeks to get everything right. Getting it to do tests as part of the process and some sublte engineering to get it not to get stuck in loops and ignore files are a must.
It's also fun using it in Architect mode and feeding it with Perplexity AI's deep research output as a series of prompt for ingestion into roocode.
What are you labelling inferior here? Both Taara and Starlink?

Yes, both of those are inferior to wired infrastructure but they clearly have their usecases. If you were to start a mining project that lasts a few months or even a few years but is expected to eventually be finished and packed up, Taara seems like exactly what you need.

It can also outcompete Starlink because it won't require us to constantly replace decaying satellites. Also means less space debris pollution which is increasingly becoming a huge concern

Yeah, on that I will agree it would be a terrible idea. The stream deck should be a good example, though; In that I'm assuming that most people do not have those buttons change much?

Amusingly, I'm now remembering the very old video game system where the different games had cards you slid into the controller to indicate what the different buttons did. Seems like that is the general ideal.

I think I would think it shouldn’t, do normal CS and then learn AI after. There’s a reason you get those fundamentals, even when most jobs involve tying to API’s together. Prompting AI is probably the easy part? Or involves more about understanding the business domain then the skill itself, similar to how almost every CS graduate can be a newb to actual on the job skills, but that’s not what a CS degree should teach you, it should teach you the basics so when you get stuck in vibe coding you understand why.
Ask HN: Fastest way to get alerts of tweets when X is banned in my country
What do you guys use to get alerts of tweets from influencers? is there any app or whatsapp/telegram/discord channel. I personally want to use it to get alerts on crypto related news.

Just missed the XRP opportunity after its CEO posted a message that SEC is ending case against Ripple and then XRP rallied.

EDIT : X/Twitter is blocked in Pakistan so cant use the notification feature.
People weren't supporting hamas, they were condemning the indiscriminate bombing of civilians.

That message was picked up by the russians etc and turned into a wedge issue on social media.
I find it perplexing that Apple seemingly refuses at the OS level to support DisplayPort MST (multi-stream transport), which is such a common, standard, widely adopted protocol. The biggest impact is that non-Thunderbolt, non-DisplayLink docks can't use more than a single monitor. Back on Intel Macs, the hardware clearly supported this as MST worked great when running Windows.
> then VCs gave him stacks of cash to start some new company anyways?

Because he didn't do anything wrong. His bet failed. And that's kinda it.

The VCs are not some idiot innocent people. They bought into his vision and made a calculated bet, which failed. Failed bets in the VC world aren't uncommon.

>Trump has been anti-war (with Putin, specifically) since his first term.

Yes, that's my point.

> The Democratic party has never been anti-free trade either.

They absolutely were anti-free trade and protectionist during the 1970s and 1980s. For example, they were the ones who were leading efforts against Japanese cars in the US that decimated Detroit during that time.

Clinton and more importantly Obama changed this shift, including the TPP that would have opened up more free trade with Pacific nations. Trump ripped that up as soon as he came into office because that was very unpopular with the working class.

> Nevertheless, what helped him win working class votes was discontent with the economy situation

According to Biden, the US economy was the best its every been when he left office and the lowest unemployment and the stock market was at its highest. What economic situation are you talking about?
>For all those scenarios, I wish for some kind of microphone/device that could read from subvocalizations or lip movement.

There's a similar issue with those automated phone interfaces that "helpfully" require you to speak what you want, because you have to restart every time a pet or child screams. In those cases, it's better to have "press 1 for <whatever>", but it would also be an improvement to have it only read from your lips, so you wouldn't have to worry about background noise.

This sounded to me like a device I might want, but the price is offputting to me. $150 is not cheap device. It's nearly 10x the used price of the smartwatch I wearing right now.

The CEO did a Reddit AMA:

https://www.reddit.com/r/pebble/comments/1jea5cc/ama_with_er...

I am surprised by his comment there:

« Honestly 5 years seems pretty good for a $150 consumer gadget. »

So, its creator feels that a $150 watch is cheap. Huh. That is interesting.

I never owned a Pebble, but I’ve had 3 smartwatches in the last 8 years: an original Amazfit Bip which I liked a lot. It lasted 5 years, its battery life was 6 weeks when new and 4 weeks when old, it was always-on and daylight-readable, and it was about $70.

https://www.cnet.com/reviews/amazfit-bip-review/

When it finally died, I replaced it with a Bip 5 last year. I didn’t like it – screen is wake-on-demand, it wasn’t sensitive enough to a wrist-flip to wake it so I had to press a button, and the battery life was down to 10 days. Higher-res screen, more colours, but no additional useful functionality to me. It cost about $80.

https://www.amazfit.com/products/amazfit-bip-5

So I sold it on for about $45, over half what I paid, and bought a used Amazfit Neo. It looks like a real watch, it was £15 used – about $20 – and it’s always-on, battery life in weeks, very visible, has a backlight, and does the essentials.

https://www.gsmarena.com/amazfit_neo_review-news-45962.php

So I’ve had three watches now and the total price of all 3 put together is about what Eric here dismisses as a consumer gadget.

Huh.

That is a potential Ratner’s moment right there.

The AI integration doesn't add much to the assistant usefulness for me but I do like even the previous Google Assistant way more than I've ever found Siri useful. Apple has just been behind on the digital assistant game for years before the LLM integrations came along.
You could turn on notifications for those users.
> Many people are willing to just sit and wait for the right buyer even if it takes years.

I think that's only a large minority. IIUC, a majority of sellers are motivated sellers, people that are selling because life circumstances are forcing them to move and sell.

But even if only a small portion of sellers were motivated sellers, "prices are set at the margin". In other words, if most people aren't selling because the price is too low, the people who are selling are the ones that are setting the price.
Presumably if you disable this on a per-transaction basis you are still guaranteed that transactions are replicated in FIFO order? Otherwise you could end up in weird situations where a synced txn reads from a lost txn and your state is effectively corrupted.
Every bit of open source is founded on the license enforced by copyright and the ability for the creator to authorize the creation and distribution of derivative works.

Without it, anything that is published could be taken (once the copyright has expired), repackaged in some user inaccessible way and resold.

It is copyright that enforces the license of GPL. Without copyright, no license on creative work has any teeth.

Take a look at what Pepsi did.

Pepsi had purchased several fast food restaurant chains. Pepsi made its soft drinks the default ones available there. After several years Pepsi spun off the fast food companies as a separate holding company but Pepsi shareholders owned the shares in the new company. Pepsi sodas were still exclusively sold at the new companies.

Man.. All of these words did proof you were wrong.

> The difference with cargo or go or pip is that all of these are found in every linux distribution, while .net is in none.

This statement is false. It is also in arch. If it is not in debian and ubuntu, that is their fault. (But it would not surprise me, any user will soon run into the fact that even for non-obscure software there are no up-to-date packages in the main repo. The default escape hatch is to add extra repo sources, but my advice is to skip those distro's altogether anyways, unless you have very specific needs.)

But then again, if you think package management is a serious topic and then dismiss .net for the python mess, come on.

> the APIs are windows oriented?

The design of this particular API might be off. I guess this dates from the pivot to cross-platform. Usually, tuning for .net performance is better on Linux. I think nobody in MS believes in Windows as a platform really, it is a sinking ship.

No, rg looks inside files. find . | grep just lists all files and directories and then filters it down using grep.
At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if the complaints I see against Firefox is a campaign to keep people on Chrome. But more likely it's just an excuse due to laziness. Either way these people can be dismissed outright.

Some pretty interesting forensic accounting there, though a lot of it seems to be speculative at this point.
Sounds like a change of the topic :( .
You could say the same about rail infrastructure, but you cannot use private vehicles there (legally).
To add to your edit:

Lots of land is, literally, dirt cheap.

There's externalities in having a home that aren't just the land itself, but also the infrastructure per person. The infrastructure costs are why very few people are buying up land in e.g. California City[0] and popping a cheap concrete[1] or steel[2] box (depending on your preference of 3D printing or prefab/shipping container houses) in the desert for less than many people here earn per month.

Did you want a road with that house? Running water? Electricity? Internet? A police force?

Yes, these things are all doable. But they also add to the value proposition of a property ("it's in a good area"), driving up demand, meaning people can charge more for the land, and if you're going to spend a lot more on the land anyway then you might as well make the structure of the home itself a bit nicer, and it all blows up rapidly.

Police in particular are currently getting more expensive thanks to Baumol's cost disease, because policing isn't automated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baumol_effect

I'm not sure how costs of sewage etc. change with increased population density. Pipes have to get wider per person, but low-density also means they're longer.

You would be detained and eventually denied entry. You have no rights when you cross the border no matter which country you're in. China and other countries have just as draconian enforcement.
Yeah you could be right. I'm actually in a similar boat. I used to read a lot of fictions before 25-ish but then I got hooked by the Internet so I rarely read any books since then. I used to enjoy Tolkien and D&D novels a LOT but recently I found them to be meh.

See, we can all put stuff in capitals. Doesn't make it true.

Even if you defined "stranded" as being "unable to use the Starliner", then they weren't stranded in September. They could have decided to get in the ship and go home. Not like there's some political officers on board ready to stop them.

In this sense, human creativity can be viewed as a process of combining, transforming, and reinterpreting past experiences (impressions).

We humans do it all the time, TBH.

Well 500m/year when they last raised in mid-2024. There are hints as to their growth rate from their post about their 100m ARR milestone [1] and thus one knows they went from 100m to 500m in two years (mid 2022 to mid 2024).

They're thus probably higher than 500m now although the multiple still seems really high to me. But what do I know.
