All I want is Spatial Audio with head tracking that doesn't have audio drop outs, an issue that has been there from the start and never fixed. At this point I'll give up the wireless aspect for it.
It's performing well on the aider benchmark too.

This one is legit.
Borne Back Ceaselessly into the Past: Fitzgerald, Gatsby and WWI
Something must be slightly unusual about me.. because I have retained some very early memories..

I have confirmed with my parents the placement and orientation of my crib. I can tell you the exact process that my parents performed to change my diaper. I remember being bathed in my tub with my toys.. list goes on. These are visual memories, I can see them right now. I'm nearly certain they are real.. it's possible my brain has made some up, but I've confirmed enough with my parents that I feel confident that they are real.

I swear I remember waking up in the middle of the night once in my crib.. heart beating out of my chest.. I was really scared of something.. and I just remember this pure consciousness .. staring up into the darkness. Same consciousness I have now.
Because of their stress levels and possible smoking/drinking/drugs? I don’t buy into “yeah they’re rich/famous but that’s a lot of stress” narrative.
I don't gp was suggesting to trust professional reviewers but rather professionals who actually have to work with/repair the product in question.

But I do agree that that won't cover everything. Issues that need repair are a big concern but so is usability when the damned things are working "properly".
I don't feel that you have a measured take on what is basically browser tooling. It's a customized browser built around web development. Is that _so_ insane?

Imagine someone came out with a browser that synced and allowed you to view/test your app in the days of ie6/7/8/9 across all those browsers. Would charging money per month for that be so weird?

This isn't for anyone to use as their normal browser.
Just like parents said in the 1980s.

Wait until you find out what Jelly Roll Morton's nickname means, acquired when he was a fourteen year old piano player in a brothel, back around 1904.
> Then you look at a big company like meta or Google and they're churning out systems that pretty much work and at huge scale..

They are but they also have a margin for breakage that, e.g., the NHS doesn't really have. If your Facebook or Instagram feed is missing everything from the last 3 days because a node went down, they can fill that in with other stuff and you might not even notice. Same with stuff missing from Google Search, etc. If stuff is missing from your medical notes because a node went down, that could be fatal if you're just about to have a procedure done. Same with, e.g., tax records, police records, etc.

I guess financial institutions are the better option (but again they still have a bunch of "reconcile stuff at the end of the day" options that don't necessarily translate to the NHS et al.)
> Roose's "Latecomer's Guide To Cryptocurrency" never really makes any argument about anything, other than explaining, in a "cautiously optimistic" way, the "features" of blockchain technology, all without really having to make any judgment but "guess we'll wait and see!"

> While it might seem difficult to write 14,000 words about anything — skill issue, by the way — Roose's work is a paper thin, stapled-together FAQs about a technology that still, to this day, lacks any real use cases

Whenever I read something like this I'm amazed at how unimaginative and close-minded someone can be while also being so smug. The Silk Road demonstrates one use case (permissionless money) extremely well. If you can't see that, you shouldn't be writing about it publicly.
The article doesn't mention that your up/downvotes can be shadow-banned, too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43233832
Imho, this is the original staffing sin of the video game industry. An endless supply of naive labor is never a good thing to trust manangement with.
Most people obtain those just fine without a tech salary.
Nearly all my memories I have from when I was 2-3 years old were reinforced by having photos from around the time that I looked at as I grew up. Like I remember painting cabinets with my dad as a toddler as they prepared the house to move, and I have photos of the kitchen before the cabinets were painted. I have memories of the move, and I have photos related to the move as well.

I remember being frustrated in a 4th of July bike parade as a small child, as I had lots of long ribbons off the handlebars which I kept getting tangled up in on the bike with training wheels. We had a photo of me on the bike in that parade. I probably couldn't tell you anything else about that parade, but I do remember how annoying those ribbons getting wrapped around me and the sweat and heat of the day.
Indeed! I saw the individual section titles and thought that's what you all were talking about.
External codegen introduces a lot of friction in random places. Like how your editor can no longer understand the file before you start building. Or how it can go out of date with respect to the rest of your code until you build. If you can do it with a macro it tends to work better than codegen in some ways.
I'd be curious to know whether you're heel striking when running. I'm a natural heel-striker, but I forced a change to mid-foot and my shin-splints disappeared altogether. It took a little time to build up to my heel-strike pace, but I did and was able to continue to avoid shin splints even at the same pace. All of this was done with regular running shoes (not barefoot-style).

Using Polypane doesn't mean you can skip out on testing other rendering engines. That's such an important point that I even mention it on the homepage!

So yeah, you should be testing (mobile) Safari and Firefox too. Chrome on android has some different APIs compared to Chrome on desktop, but rendering is identical.

When developing your site, you can use Polypane Portal[1] to tunnel your local site to real devices while keeping them fully in sync with what you do in Polypane, so you can scroll, interact, inspect and even edit across real devices from inside Polypane, saving you a ton of time.

IDEs understand preprocessor macros, so IDE features (jump2def, etc) work with this. IDEs also can expand the macro invocations. So, I prefer the macros when possible :-).
This is great, but I think blockchain would be even better
They're each also popular IT outsourcing destinations who aren't sanctioned. You may not do business in Ukraine or Brazil, but chances are one of your customers or contractors do, and blocking those IPs isn't usually in the first or second swipe. (If you're blocking the UK and India, you're probably blocking all foreign IPs.)
> Accordingly, the company also says "the difference between AAC and lossless audio is virtually indistinguishable."

Then how come they are offering lossless audio on Apple Music, and even (actuall physically!) imperceptible "Hi-Res Lossless"? Are enough dogs and bats paying for it to justify the extra bandwidth required by 24 kbps/96 KHz audio?

When catering to pseudoscience, arguably one really needs to go all the way. Do it like Sony, for example; go full "audiophile" and invent your own Bluetooth audio codec [1]. Or digitally sign your bits to make a special light go on on expensive hardware [2].

Delivering lossless 24/96 to the device and then downsampling it to 16/48 and AAC compressing it for the last meter over Bluetooth is just sad.

I generally agree. I think we're in a hype cycle and there will be a correction. I'm hopeful that people will be more realistic about it being a tool and not a panacea. For OpenAI, though, they have to talk up AGI and Universal Basic Compute because of the capital they've raised and their unrealistic valuation.

Curious to see how open weight international models eat into OpenAI's first-mover moat. Until hardware is cheaper and more commodity—which requires crossing the CUDA moat—open weight will be a fun toy, but not a serious production commodity.
Well .... The point is that working for Elon meen that you are not one of the best, but a fanatic.

This is what unions are all about - most people should limit the allocation to their job, but a lot of employers (not just Musk) want employees to work "like owners" without providing real ownership of the equity upside of the company they work for. Even most equity packages do not provide upside on a remotely similar scale (you might make 500k extra) compared to what the founders, execs, and VCs will make on your labor. I'm not sure that HN is going to be very Marx-friendly but Capital Vol 1 gets into this if you can hang through all the blathering about coats and fabric.
Because it's an enormous waste of time writing code, doing QA and managing updates for multiple different platforms. Web apps inside a headless Chromium container is how many many "mobile apps" are built these days.

Small world! That's awesome that Aardwolf was part of what helped you get into programming. I hear you on areas, I'm far better at the core game engine than I am coming up with good ideas and story lines for areas and quests.

I don't want to cross the line into "advertising" but this thread is probably mostly done anyway so, we have a Discord now if you want to drop by and say hi without connecting to the game itself.
Yeah, we got a new house built 4 years ago and one of the biggest regrets is not enough ethernet outlets (running fibre in the house isn't practical yet) and power outlets in various places. It is really hard to think of all the places you would want them ahead of time unfortunately and as each has a cost you don't want to incur it unnecessarily.

But my biggest regrets were:

- Only a single ethernet port in the basement. Then the kid wanted a gaming station and we moved where the TV was. I should have put like 4 down there.

- No ethernet ports in the garage, I should have put in one for an AP.

- 4 ceiling APs instead of just two in the main part of the house. I over-estimated how much coverage I would get from ceiling APs and thus I have some APs hidden under furniture to ensure 100% house coverage.

- Lack of multiple circuits in the garage, even better a separate sub-panel with 6 outlets. I took up wood working and with a single circuit and 2 outlets was insufficient. That cost me $1200 for the sub-panel.

- Multiple outlets on the back and side of the house - I would have done two at the front on each side and two at the back on side each and one on each side of the house. I have a single outlet at the front and back and that is just not sufficient for lights, decorations and patio devices.
I just had this experience. I had a 200ft run between my house and barn. The original builder put a direct bury ethernet between the two and it failed. I dug a trench, put in a conduit, pulled 2 fibre lines and left a pull string in.

I recently had the primary fibre fail and am now on the backup. If I need to pull new ones in the future I can do that pretty easily through the conduit.
I had a [founder] boss who would say to his team "I want everyone on the team to act as though they owned the business!" He and his family owned 100% of the equity.
Yes, his replies in a neighbor comment is exactly to that effect and of course one has to agree. But it is also notable that if i dare summarise from his parallel comment, he would have loved to return the dishwasher too but that this has already cost him so much time that “I don't know if I have the time for it.”

So here's the thing. It would be unfairly cynical to suggest that Jeff is only doing this to further his own content as a content creator. I think most would agree that Jeff is also frustrated by this and wants to push back. And as someone with influence any impact he can make is undoubtedly a good thing. It's even easier to say nothing at all.

But it is also hard to separate out to what degree the motivation to put in the effort to write an article, produce and edit a video stems from the desire for content and what stems for the desire for real change. It is somewhat telling that he had the time and motivation to produce the video (which is also a ton of work), but not to return the dishwasher?

Real advocacy has to go beyond influencers promoting causes that already align with their target audience. We have to go beyond just saying things on social media in the belief that that is somehow sufficient to "do our bit". Otherwise we can kid ourselves that we're doing good, when are we really, really? Real advocacy requires real change, and that's the hard bit.
I think their whole point was that it's not just about the money to them. If they love being outside and working with their hands far more than being in an office and can make a living ranching it seems like a smart move to me, regardless of the salary difference.

E-bike batteries are a major cause of domestic fires.

It's the largest lithium battery that gets charged inside the home, and also likely to be physically damaged (accidents, kerbs, even things like water ingress or corrosion) and likely to be poor quality or without proper type testing (lots of random manufacturers), and even likely be modified etc (people like to tinker with their bikes).

Weight is less of a problem on an e-bike than on a regular bike (even on regular bikes, weight is really overemphasised).

I'd be much happier if they were all LFP.
Good to know. I guess since OpenAI is my primary driver I haven't had a chance to experience anthropic downtime.
I'm largely going by what I see in my yard. If I want any of the ground shrubs to not die every year, I have to make sure they are not drowned in leaves.

Note that I'm not claiming the leaves are necessarily bad. They make pretty good mulch and such. But, without tending to uncover the smaller plants, they do a pretty good job of killing the things below the tree.
Seriously. Hasn't the main thesis of that book (a distinct advantage of human upright evolution is our ability to run long distances) and several key supporting points been mostly disproven scientifically (early humans often hunted by running to exhaustion, for example)?

Seems to me another enticing narrative with little to no sound evidence a la Guns, Germs, and Steel, Sapiens, and the like. The stuff this site loves to gobble up with comment after comment of supporting anecdata.
no I'm not touching that can of worms with a ten foot pole. Someone braver than me can build that!
I have a Samsung TV (never connected to the the internet in any form, just connected to my PC via HDMI) and a Samsung phone and never had either ask anything about the other. Curious what would trigger that. Possible that I disabled things I know I won't need and forgot about it.

That nice benchmark shows that multiple implementations of HNSW perform differently (my experience also). It would be helpful therefore if HANN benchmarked its implementation against the others, and tried to get the details the same as the best version.
You'd think that the director of engineering would receive enough of the pie (read: equity) to make them consider staying.

I guess it either isn't enough of a slice, or the slice wasn't going to be valuable enough to deal with Elon, which is really saying something.
Wow, we recently built a house and this reads just like my regret list!

I think because there are less code specifications for the garage, builders just don't bother.

I bombed early on in links awakening and sat it down for years. When the first Pokémon came out I did the wildest things. So glad my mom would let me buy gaming magazines.
I liked the old "pay for updates" model. Nowadays, that seems less viable because security updates are so important[0]. I think the middle ground model would be something like security updates are free, feature updates cost money. Something like pay $x for version n+1 or a discounted rate for a subscription.

Sounds like a bit of a hassle on the logistics/release engineering side, though. That would need to be handled with some care and planning.

[0] Which I'll admit I don't 100% buy, but I'd love for a security expert to weigh in.
Yeah, just like Dropbox is two curls duct-taped to an SD card.
#6 is big, they basically sold a feature that they didn't deliver on; this can be considered consumer fraud or false advertising, and the lawsuits like [0] will keep coming in. That one is based on sudden emergency stops, false advertising on range, and that the hardware won't be able to ever support autopilot. These lawsuits will / should happen in every country that Tesla sold / advertised in.

(I'm not singling out Tesla specifically btw, Apple is also getting a lawsuit for selling the iphone 16 but not delivering on Intelligence like they advertised)

"Vibe coding" exists on the same spiritual plane as "Robinhood options trader" and "Twitch entrepreneur". Attaching one's earning potential to the strength of a platform that's often profiled in the media.
FWIW I had knee pain whenever I ran and my natural point of contact has always been the heel. I forced a change to mid-foot and it went away. Felt pretty unnatural for a bit and I was slower, but was able to build up to my heel-strike pace eventually. (all this done with regular running shoes)
Innovation is never constantly increasing. It usually appears in bursts, and stops around the point that humans don't need it as much, or development hits a ceiling of effort. But it's always slowly simmering. Usually it's research or yak-shaving that, after years, suddenly appears as if out of nowhere as a useful product.

I am hopeful that in my lifetime, the web will die. It's such an insanely stupid application platform. An OS on an OS, in a document reader (which, due to humans' ability to go to any lengths to avoid hard work, literally all new network protocols have to be built on top of).

You want cool visualizations? Maybe don't lock yourself into using a goddamn networked document viewer. Native apps can do literally anything. But here we are, the most advanced lifeforms on the planet, trapped in a cage of our own making.
Because historically genociding a species carries a lot of baggage. It's not something you can intellectually reason someone into believing.

MBAs and MVP (Minimum Viable Product)
Medicine has a lot of issues around this honestly. Obviously you don't want someone unqualified practicing but the flip side is that around the world various countries have been setting various types of quotas on who can become a doctor with serious negative effects to society (long wait times for medical care, expensive care, etc.). A system where qualifications and experience are well documented but without the quotas controlled by vested interests would be much more preferable.

Software engineering is lucky not to have the shackles that medicine had here. The door is more open. We still require people to prove their capabilities but we don’t allow organisations such as engineering or medical associations to add limits.
Quarterly profit over long term growth
Yeah, they may look goofy but they work, similar to how lycra makes one look like a power ranger but you won't see anyone in the TDF wearing a hoodie and jeans.
The economics don't support innovative web visualizations, a slight engagement boost for a day is the return on investment. If you're lucky it goes viral on social media, but there's far cheaper ways to accomplish that (e.g. inflammatory rhetoric).
Build AI Agent Memory from Scratch – Tutorial for Dummies
> Your proof of concept requires a human-level intelligence being in control of the car. How is that cheaper than LiDAR?

This is the core of the problem. Lidar doesn't actually change any of that, it still needs AI that's just as strong, if not stronger. All it gets you is a more reliable point-cloud (in some situations, maybe less reliable in others), that you'll then have to interpret.

There's no getting around the need of having a powerful AI behind it all.
Truly sad. While lying on your death bed contemplating your life, nobody's ever thought "Gee, I wish I worked more unpaid overtime".
Old money is a toxic accretion of capital: because it optimizes for "not losing" as opposed to "maximally investing"

There's a reason the British industrial revolution was funded by new, sugar/slave-trade money -- because it went to people open to investing in this new, weird steam power thing.
The benefits of this is that you don't have the attack surface of an SSH CA. If you do this with an SSH CA that supports OIDC, if either the IDP or the SSH CA are compromised then security is lost.

With OpenPubkey and by extension opkssh, your IDP is functioning like the SSH CA by signing the public key that you make the SSH connection with. Thus, you have one fewer trusted party and you don't have maintain and secure an SSH CA.

Beyond this, rotating SSH CAs is hard because you need to put the public key of the SSH CA on each SSH server and SSH certs don't support intermediate certificates. Thus if you SSH CA is hacked, you need to update the CA public key on all your servers and hope you don't miss any. OpenID Connect IDPs rotate their public keys often and if they get hacked and they can immediately rotate their public keys without any update to relying servers.
It doesn't matter- they failed to punish the US, stop supporting Israel, or withdraw from the middle east or whatever their goals were.
