is it intentional that one arrangement of the letters is correct when another, equally correct, arrangement is wrong? eg 'L L I P S' can be 'SPILL' or PILLS, but only PILLS is accepted. Similarly for NOTES being 'correct' but STONE being wrong.

It also seems too close to a common tactic his supporters use of pretending to be a neutral observer to preserve their own reputations while asking questions which reinforce his propaganda. “The machine” never existed except in the sense that breaking the law or bad ideas get opposition, but repeating it without acknowledging it as fictional makes it sound like you’re “just asking questions”.
The bottom is the best place for it. It would look really bad on the top and the rest of the mouse is kinda thin.

Also the port is a retrofit over the previous model which took a pair of AA batteries.

It’s not some terrible design choice from Apple, it’s a lazy revision to an old removable battery mouse without much effort needed to update the plastic tooling to make it.
Unless you're expecting an LLM to have access to literally all information on earth at all times I find it really hard to care about this particular type of complaint.

My calculator can't conjugate German verbs. That's fine IMO. It's just a tool
I disagree about it being marketed only to non-power users. It can't even compete on ergonomics vs everyday mouse.

Non-power users have complained about getting RSI because of it.
I'm convinced one of their (Apple's) mice basically permanently messed up my wrist from ~ 1 month of use.
Apple accessories are a joke, except for maybe the touchpad (Magic Pad? — I don’t care enough to search or waste llm query)
I'm mystified at Homebrew's dominance. It seemed to come unglued for me every few months. I switched to Macports years ago and my cli world has been stable and up-to-date.
Why is this fake news blogspam here? Its source was retracted, its text is AI slop, the embedded video is AI slop, the related articles are all AI variations of the same “news” trying to game SEO.

No, Tim Cook doesn’t use a Logitech at work. This is a misinterpretation of an article from last November:
https://www.macrumors.com/2024/11/17/tim-cook-didnt-say-that...
But the Apple Mouse is terrible (ergonomically at least). I’m confused why a company so focused on accessibility has ignored iterating on this product.
Agreed. It makes for a very obvious difference when we cross the river into New Hampshire. One of the things I love about living here.
The score is meant for consumption by users of the software with the vulnerability. In the kind of systems where Parquet is used, blindly reading files in a context with more privileges than the user who wrote them is very common. (Think less "service accepting a parquet file from an API", more "ETL process that can read the whole company's data scanning files from a dump directory anyone can write to".)
Same here. I love mine.

The only thing I would wish for in a v4 is faster polling rate. I think it’s 1000 hz now. So not the best for gaming.
This comment over generalises the problem, but is inherently absurd. There are key indicators in scoring that explain the attack itself which isn't environment specific.

I do agree that in most cases the deployment specific configuration affects the ability to be exploited and users or developers should analyse their own configuration.
Yawn. IIRC in Seveneves an 'unknown agent' caused the moon to shatter. I dunno even what it was exactly? Primordial Black hole?

Anyway, this thing is not bigger than a 10-storey building, according to latest information, as the article said.

Given the nearly infinite amount of impact craters of all sorts on the moon, while it is still unshattered, I guesstimate with my wet thumb and divining dick held into the winds of probability, that any Seveneves scenario is highly unlikely.

Except if the composition of that thing would be mainly 'Shatterium', but again, why?

So stop hyperventilating, relax, and maybe enjoy some fireworks in the future.
I don’t think it’s that: I think it’s just an uncomfortable mouse that used to run on a pair of Duracell batteries and they did a quick job to replace that with a rechargeable battery.
> If all advertising was banned, other institutions would set up to fill the vacuum

Yes, you’d pay promoters and bids it. This is literally Prohibition 101.
This would be a reasonable proposition if the entire Internet mail system was run by 3-4 operators, and there were no mail clients at all other than service provider webmail.

Unfortunately, the real world is much more complicated than that.
I have the vertical oriented mouse and it’s great. Have the regular one too (collecting dust)
Of course people would criticize the port placement.

For a company that prides itself for having very good UX and "it just works", the decision to put the port on the bottom is indefensible.
By adding 100% to the price on all cars sold that are produced from that factory as long as it is owned by an adversarial individual.

The factory can always be sold to another company.
I could imagine, maybe, that if tariffs were 100% here to stay, that then, after some period of pain, lasting a few years, investors would have built replacement infrastructure domestically. (The word 'maybe' is doing a lot of work here, but let's roll with it, for the sake of argument.)

But this administration is already using tariffs as a negotiating tool, a cudgel. "If country X does Y, maybe the administration will cut them a break."

That means, as an investor, there is simply no certainty that makes it safe enough to invest in domestic US infrastructure. What if I build a factory and then the tariff evaporates?
This is extremely shameless AI-generated blogspam? The post literally links to three more slight variations of the same post under "Similar Posts":

- Is Apple’s mouse so bad that even Tim Cook prefers using a different brand ? (sic, can't even get spaces right in the title)

- Apple’s mouse is so bad that Tim Cook prefers using a different brand for work.

- Apple’s Own Mouse Falls Short, Even Tim Cook Opts for Another Brand

Shit editing elsewhere gives it away too, like literally missing the very first character in the first paragraph.

While the topic is somewhat interesting, this kind of garbage site should be flagged and killed.

Edit: Turns out the whole premise is blatantly false in the first place, according to the top comment of an earlier submission of the same blogspam (flagged):

> This is apparently a misattribution: https://www.macrumors.com/2024/11/17/tim-cook-didnt-say-that...

> > The Wall Street Journal last month published an interview with Cook, in which he said he uses every Apple product every day. Soon after, The Verge's Wes Davis attempted to replicate using every Apple product in a single day. During that day, Davis said he mostly used the MX Master 3, but sometimes switched to a Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad.

> > In other words, it was Davis who said he himself used a Logitech mouse, not Cook.

Didn't the telco providers learn this lesson from John Draper [Captain Crunch] already before 1980?

Also it's such amusing irony when the common IT vernacular is enriched by acronyms for all-powerful nemeses in Hollywood films, just as Microsoft did with H.A.L.
Yet somehow the whole rest of the industry manages to put it at the front, where it doesn't get in the way.
Why can’t the developers just release a licensable corporate version and Apple just agree to pay the corporate license fee?
I think this is deeply and fundamentally wrong.

Advertising is how small and new companies can reach customers. It's how monopolies are broken. It's how progress reaches the masses.

Yes, it is willfully intended to change people's behavior. So are many of our posts on HN. That is an important purpose for communication!
> Let's ban billboards. And then let's follow that up with a general purpose ban on paid advertisement

This sprint to the extreme is how one ensures we cannot ban billboards. (If I worked for a billboard company, I would try to frame a billboard ban as a ban on ads.)
It implies they know there's a problem with their products but are unwilling to address them.
Truck-Parking Pilot Excludes City's Most Impacted Areas, Including SE Queens
> It also ignores the fact that since the 1970s the United States has transitioned more and more to information and services jobs.

Even that would have been better. The reality is that since the 70s the brainpower of the US has been pushed to finance, law and tech. US finance has become detached from ties to the real economy and became a sector that created imaginary wealth out of thin air, law remained a sector that complicates everything for a chance at political careers, and much of the brainpower sucked into tech was used to generate bloated valuations/stock returns for the investors by producing mostly marginally useful things.

Tech did succeed in producing the most tangible results, but it failed to impact the physical world much. After all, it wasn't possible to get a big stock value bump at having farming automatized instead of making the next social/publishing/streaming/gaming/subscription/whatever app for X and shaking the investors off of their money. But now that the zero interest economy ended, that business model is dead and tech is dumping the brainpower it sucked. Like how finance did circa 2008. Multiple generations of top-tier brainpower and all the years of education they received and the experience they have are going to sh*t...
Lack of urban building has nothing to do with the reserve currency (beyond making imported housing materials cheaper) and everything to do with NIMBY's steering municipal politics to choke development.
I hate it even more in Google calendar where they don’t even bother to use that JS. I’ll copy a zoom join link from an invitation to send to someone, and I get some sh**y Google redirect URL.
They haven’t lagged behind, they started designing around a trackpad which has more gesture affordances and is consistent with their other devices. I use their Magic Trackpad and prefer it over a mouse
To be clear I am 100% fine with billboard bans. I live in a billboard ban state and it's great. I was talking about the proposed complete ban of all advertising of any kind.
This sounds like a Utopian idea that in practice would result in a lot of self-dealing and outright fraud on the part of the influencers you’re hypothecating. Hard pass.
Like with identifying negligence, minimal force, and parody, you can ask a fictional reasonable person.
Youtube would be playing videos which tend to run on GPUs.

But just because you have hardware accelerated videos doesn't mean that everything in your browser is hardware accelerated.

I'd recommend checking out "edge://flags" in your browser, then searching for "canvas" and see if hardware acceleration is enabled.
I thought the final parsec problem is that co orbiting black holes can't have accretion discs which makes GW the only way for them to inspiral, and that's way too slow for us to have seen any.
Procter & Gamble is welcome to become a media production company, but they can't push their media by paying for distribution - any paid distribution is advertising. Instead, distributors have to want to distribute the content because they think their audience will be interested in consuming it - a high bar to hit if the main purpose of your media is to push a product.

Paid actors, and for example company representatives, do count as acting on behalf of the company and therefore don't count as paid advertising. But, whatever medium they are talking to has to be an unpaid medium. A company representative (or paid actor) talking about a product in an interview is okay if the interviewer / distributor is not being paid to host the interview. (or if the interviewer / distributor is the company itself - that's also allowed).

Does that give massive companies an advantage? I would argue not really, because it creates massive overheads for pushing advertisement content, and since you aren't allowed to pay for distribution, it means that people have to be interesting in consuming your content of their own volition instead of other content that isn't trying to push products.
This is a great article. I didn't know Domino was still around, let alone still being developed.

I spent a good portion of my time late nineties working with Lotus Notes/Domino. I even had all the certifications (Principal CLP Application Developer, Principal CLP System Administrator). (And I worked on migrations from OfficeVision and from cc:Mail.)

A few things I remember really liking, from both a development and administration perspective:

- trivial to set up a second or third server, and have data automatically replicate between them

- super-easy to create CRUD apps for custom business processes, without using any 'code' except formulae that were as simple as spreadsheet formulae

- ability to add extra functionality with a language very similar to Visual Basic

And a few things that were annoying:

- because email was just another Notes application, it wasn't as good as things made just for email (like Outlook or Eudora)

- many people thought 'views' were folders, and that if an email existed in two places that meant two copies, and that they could delete one of them

- 'replication or save conflict' (https://help.hcl-software.com/dom_designer/14.5.0/basic/H_AB...)

Several times I sat with a user at their desk, and developed the first version of a CRUD app for them in real time, whilst we were still discussing the requirements.
They're mostly banned in Denver. I think they put a cap on them, and a new one going up means that another one has to come down. Functionally most have been eliminated because of this.

> when there were over a billion people on Earth in 1800 who could have come up with it

My point is that humans did come up with it. Humans did not parrot it from someone or something else that showed it to us. We didn't "parrot" splitting the atom. We didn't learn how to build skyscrapers from looking at termite hills and we didn't learn to build rockets that can send a person to the moon from seeing a volcano

You are just speaking absolute drivel
> A developer, programmer, software engineer, call this category of work however you like, it uses the brain at such relentless limits,

Its so weird that development that pays well over $200K uses about 5% of the brainpower I used for college, when I got paid about $9 an hour to clean plates for 40 hours a week.
> Don't start a war against neighbours or other neighbours might get angry

Those other neighbors themselves invaded many countries. They stole the money of other countries. Like Venezuela. They never had their assets stolen. Apparently, they subscribed to none of the moral values and ethics they have been advocating. So that argument doesn't count.

Those are currency reserves. Not the changes in the usage of currencies in international trade. But hey, don't let me disturb the comfortable numbness...
The problem with that theory is that the higher prices and wealth destruction are not just "short term", they're here to stay for the foreseeable future unless these political choices are reversed. Think about what factories make - durable goods. Which means if a cost rise is genuinely time-limited, it's just offset by drawing down inventories and you aren't going to see it. That's not what's going on, if anything it's the exact opposite with stuff being hoarded to be sold at even higher prices later.
true, it wouldn't do a 100% job, but it would be another line of defense. the reason I was wondering about it was that the gp cited an example that was easy for humans to miss, but would be caught at once with a spell checker.

there are also statistical methods to detect words that are changed into other, valid words - check out the grammar checker in google docs for instance. again, not 100%, but every bit helps.
In general it is a good practice to assume other parties are making a good faith effort, but after so many obvious cockups, that grace has been exhausted.

My assumption is that there is a lot of blow-back so they are restoring a few high profile names so they can say, "see, we aren't stopping science!". It is good this handful of people are back on the job, but I assume the NIH is like most other organizations -- the top name isn't doing the work themselves. They lead a team of people and their expertise is used to provide them direction and as a resource to help analyze surprising results. If the top experts lose their staff, I doubt they'll get nearly as much done. Having the 65 year old braintrust spending hours pipetting and staining samples is wildly inefficient. DOGI.

How would tax cuts help when:

* tariffs are taxes paid by the buyer
* sales tax is state and lower level and keeps states themselves afloat.

"End of year taxes"? Getting another $200/mo in wages isn't going to even be seen as a wage increase when you go to the store and everyday items are 30% more expensive.
Why should it be scalable. I’m fine with forcing things to not be scalable. Let products be word of mouth in local communities first.
The law has pretty firm definitions for things like "in kind payments" and "consideration" - because these sorts of sneaky ways of rewarding people are also relevant to bribes!

So we aren't treading into new uncharted territory where the details need to be figured out - humans have been playing this game for centuries and the law already has effective tools for navigating the tricky parts.
I think that's everything but the Nissan Leaf.
Install the transmission-daemon and transmission-cli packages, and control the daemon with the transmission-remote command (from the latter package).
> What motivates such a rude answer?

Gentrification.

> Nothing in his post suggests that he would go gentrify a low COL place

Nobody who moves out of the richer countries goes to a richer country. This includes the ultra-rich: Even they move to a place where their money will go much further, even if that is a district in London that they can comfortably afford. So it always ends up in gentrification.
Governments are public works projects basically to keep citizens employed, which is why they disproportionately hire veterans, for example.

Running a government as lean as X would also inspire corruption amongst a myriad of other things. This is one reason government jobs are so "cushy", to disincentivize corruption. If the pitch given to Sahil was "Run the government like X" I'm even more ashamed he accepted the premise.

I am not sure if this is right or wrong. But I have an idea how we could get the message out...
Most of the world didn't ditch cars, exactly. They just predate them.

Car culture is recent and pretty uniquely American. I lived in a pre-car city with a lot of ~8ft lanes and "double lanes" that were converted into one-ways to accommodate modern cars and trucks.
So the goal is to rely on NATO as allies right after they threatened individual members of NATO and generally telegraphed that the alliance shouldn't be relied upon?

Please, just stop steelmanning these actions as anything coherent that would possibly benefit the United States. In the best case, Trump is a demented has-been that only understands the world in terms of bullying. So sure, maybe the "plan" is to keep bullying Europe until they're joyfully professing that Trump's diapers smell just like roses and asking how high he'd like them to jump. But that just doesn't seem very in touch with reality.
Hegseth's primary qualification for being the Secretary of Defense is being a yes-man who owes the administration for his job.

It's not surprising that given a choice between {serving the needs of the military} and {serving the needs of the administration}, he defaulted to the latter.
Show HN: Pin My Workflow
Last friday i went through a bunch of our workflows and started pinning their hashes... it got annoying so i created a little app to assist, it is quite simple, you can add a list of workflow org you are ok with version tags (if you want to keep them up-to-date) , as the app search through the repo and find dubious workflow, it will prompt and let you know what hash it is updating it to and link for you to verify... if you accept, it add to config and automatically replace the ones that matches the same version tag in the future, saving you time. The config can be saved in same repository so you can rerun anytime.

It’s a ban on advertising, not a ban on marketing budgets. You could still have a Malborough F1 company to make your brand inadvertently visible in F1, and a Malborough Acting company to make actresses smoke in public in defiance to bad males who want to tell them what to do (both are true stories).

If advertising is blocked, the exact same amount of dollars will be spent perverting every public speech.

I can't stop the magic mouse from vertical scrolling in GIMP, which zooms the view insanely in and out when the command key is down, or which blasts my fine tracing job to hell at times.

I can't stop horizontal scrolling when I absolutely don't want it. I tried all the mouse settings and probed the mysteries of GIMP key remapping (it still may be there)

Excellent resolution, but sometimes freaky to use.

I really don't want to pay for software to fix all this.

I got an MX keys keyboard because Apple doesn't sell a lighted one except in laptops.

There is zero chance that capitalism will solve this problem.

Even if you personally choose not to buy overly advertised goods, the overwhelming majority of people will not make the same choice. Advertising works extremely well, and it will always work no matter what you or I do.

So we will still have the problem of excessive advertising, which negatively impacts even people who try to ignore that advertising.
That was a charming series of videos.
