Search for "Local-only commands removal" on the page for the relevant section:

Local-only commands removal: We are removing known mechanisms for creating a local account in the Windows Setup experience (OOBE). While these mechanisms were often used to bypass Microsoft account setup, they also inadvertently skip critical setup screens, potentially causing users to exit OOBE with a device that is not fully configured for use. Users will need to complete OOBE with internet and a Microsoft account, to ensure device is setup correctly.

exactly. Booking.com etc can just use OpenAI APIs to enable a similar voice/ chat interface on top of their search, and then the UX is not limited to 'cards'.

The UI 'cards' will naturally becoming ever increasing, and soon you end up back with a full app within ChatGPT or ChatGPT just becomes an app launcher.

The only advantage I can see is if ChatGPT can use data from other apps/ chats in your searches e.g. find me hotels in NYC for my upcoming trip (and it already knows the types of hotels you like, your budget and your dates)

You are kind of on to something in that people had loans they shouldn't have gotten in the first place. But as with many things of this nature, the casualties were all over the place. The labor market turned to shit, just as prices crashed and interest rates went up. People who paid faithfully and thought they had equity were shocked to find they were underwater in months. That's one HUGE down side of low down payments: it doesn't take much for a price swing to wipe out all your equity and leave you in a no-win situation when it comes to selling your house. Down payments ought to be at least 20% of the price of the house, to discourage people from taking out bad loans or walking away from them. The government should not subsidize mortgage credit or fix interest rates in any way.

Getting proper nouns wrong is a flaw I thought we left behind in the fansub era.

The official translator should in theory have the Japanese closed captioning and copies of the anime's original manga or light novel to work from, as well as a direct line to the original studio for clarifications on spelling. In practice, I suspect they aren't given enough resources (particularly time) to do this, and the exact romanization of fictional names is not always clear from the katakana or so. Lately there are so many fantasy series where characters have made-up European-sounding names which don't translate unambiguously from katakana - is it Chilchuck or Chilchack, for example?

exactly. my last job the project i was working on suddenly became "my project" where manager wanted to "give me a win" by shipping. it became my project when we discovered all the way in the end that what he had come up with isn't viable at all. thing i was telling from the get go but he didn't listen and adamant that it would be fine.

we even had it in writing the i had objected to his scheme and that he overrode it but that document was completely hidden from upper managment.

I've worked on mission planning software for parachute systems and the precision we can achieve is already extremely high. Given how poorly this seems to scale, the only use case that makes any sense to me would be something like sensor drop, which are the only payloads small enough for these chutes. Or potentially for drogues on multi-stage systems, but I'm not sure they'd even be useful there because usually a fast descent is part of the appeal of a drogued payload, and not just to reduce time exposed to wind drift (e.g., to reduce time it is vulnerable to enemy fire).
Show HN: The first MCP-native game – Tic-Tac-Turing
by filearts | 2025-10-07 00:28:15+00:00
Tic-Tac-Turing is a playful human vs. AI twist on classic tic-tac-toe, orchestrated through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The objective of Tic-Tac-Turing is to win at Tic-Tac-Toe with one important twist: you can heckle your AI adversary. Of course, in the world of AI, you’re not trying to psyche out your opponent. Instead you’re given a chance to use prompt injection to your advantage.

- Will you be able to outsmart the system prompt?

- Which models will be most resilient to your psychops?

The navigation point is well taken, and I'm not advocating for Rivian to tear that out. I'll use the Rivian stuff when I'm navigating to a charger or doing a road trip.

CarPlay is purely additive.

As much as I complain about all the crap Apple gets wrong, no car manufacturer will beat them on UI or the choice of apps.

> The latter suggestion is IMHO a really bad idea for companies the size of rivian. it would cost a lot of time and energy to integrate carplay and android auto very very well.

This can't possibly be true. CarPlay and Android Auto are just an MPEG video stream to the car's display, plus a simple API to send taps back to the phone. Hell, you can buy a complete CarPlay/AA head unit for $200 at Best Buy.

I mean, if it is true that Rivian can't even grab an OSS video decoder and run it on their system... that makes VW's due-diligence (before throwing billions of dollars at Rivian for software) look very shaky.

Does anyone have experience with ad hoc baggery - bags as ongoing DIY?

Years ago, going for carry-on only, with a heavy tech load (VR) and thus light everything else, commercial bags embodied non-viable design-space tradeoffs. Flying two bags, with varying size and mass constraints, plus wearing layers with pockets, needed to transform on arrival into something like one comfortable heavy backpack with an excellent waist belt.

"The pack frame can be my 'portable workstation'" is... not a well-served commercial niche. Maybe someday we'll upload bag designs for rapid prototyping, but not just yet. And just a good COTS waist belt could blow the volume budget.

So, build-a-bag. Sort of the "backpack = dry-bag + straps" concept, but dialed up. As in "dry-bag = nylon-sack + plastic-bag + shaping-strappage + backups", and "straps = vecro strips + strapping + TSA-compatible adhesive + ...". Etc. Core of weight belt became a form-fit layup of velcro. Which hooked into the laptop, with velcro pads on it's back to support a frame shelf. And so on. Life deflected me from travel before it was used much, but for a heavy pack, it trialed comfortable. And became two nylon packable shoulder bags for carry-on. I was pondering combining TSA-acceptable selfie sticks with wheels.

Again, not used. And bouncing around with luggage would have been bad. And very not "It Just Works" - travel/life as DIY engineering exercise. And it could look odd. But even with now relaxed tech constraints, I'm tempted to try something similar someday. So, has anyone attempted/survived/considered/seen something similar?

Umm, a lot. Do you know how many cubesats falcon has launched? Did the space station help humanity? Now imagine a bigger one(s) faster. Bigger satellites- do you know how much of James Webb design and difficulty was around packing into tight space? Bigger satellites, big enough for new wavelengths. Big interferometer setups. Microgravity for bio and pharma crap. Better for particles far enough away to be unaffected by earth magnetic field.

Do you agree science is good for humanity? Do you like James Webb? The other things mentioned above? I'd guess yes to all based on your username. How is getting more mass into space of questionable benefit? If starship works, which everyone on earth should be hopeful and excited about, we get more mass for cheaper into space. It's the equivalent of new funding(falcon has brought down launch costs sooo much) while also unlocking previously inconceivable experiments/instruments. Who doesn't like more science funding? Who doesn't like new experiments and instruments?

>People love to bring up the gold chart and be like "what happened in the 1970s!". It wasn't ending the gold standard that was the problem. It was the endless deficit spending; if you want to get a handle on inflation you need current demand to match current production.

The deficit spending is the reason why we had to leave the gold standard. France, for example, sent a battleship to NYC to retrieve their gold. The US government realized that they could not give out gold for all the dollars that they spent, and went into default on that obligation. The gold standard could have kept the government honest. But they were given too much slack and they abused it to the point of having to break promises officially.

The Fed cannot actually destroy all the money that they created. But they could start by not printing any more. They won't do that but they theoretically could.

I really wish we could have had a subs/dubs marketplace. There was no way to make it a proper business when anime was becoming popular on the net, but it would solve an infinite number of problems. Could it be done now that the distribution channels are more mature in Japan ?

- Japanese distributors wouldn't need middle-men for airing their shows abroad. They'd just stop region gate it and let fans inject the translation through their players. That could be the toughest pill to swallow for Japanese production houses, many are just allergic to opening up, but that would be so great.

They could still license in specific countries (US?) or specific purposes (theatrical release, BD etc) provided it isn't exclusive.

- good translators would have a shot at asking for more money. Fans who don't give a damn could still get freeish half auto translated stuff, while the deeper fandom could support their people.

- "long tail" countries could get their translations as well. There's just no way CR ever does Zimbabwe subs, but a few hundreds of fans could pay some guy to make it for them against a canonical video file bought from the content owner. win-win.

Two weeks ago, after Microsoft reset my default apps twice in a week, I bought an external drive, backed up all my stuff and wiped Windows.

I’ve got Linux all over the place, in many cloud envs, and on older hardware. But I finally committed to it on my big, meaty, main desktop. The one I use for coding and banking and accounting.

I’m running a Linux distro full-time. I had to hack a few minor hardware things. Nothing ChatGPT couldn’t solve.

I’ll never do Microsoft again. I will prob add Apple MacBooks to my life, but my main grunt machine is likely to stay Linux. I’m fully vested.

I know I’ll never engage with Microsoft shenanigans in my home environment ever again.

That claim does not exclude Gate’s projects or any other as being superior. You’re looking for conflict that isn’t there.

Starlink is used all over the world, by regional governments, NGOs and companies where it’s too expensive for individuals.

You might well find that rich English people are subsidizing the project for poorer people elsewhere.

In my opinion, we need to increase the number of admitted MDs and the number of residency spots. But more importantly, we need to also stop thinking of MDs as being necessary for a procedure or set of procedures, and focus instead on actual skill and experience for the procedure or service, and how one might get there.

I guess what I'm suggesting is that the solution is not "increasing the number of doctors" but rather "increasing the number and types of providers". Some of those could be more MDs, but some of them could be other types of providers. We need to create alternate paths to MDs, and also increase the number of degree endpoints that result in similar kinds of independent practice authority within a given medical field. Let other types of providers provide a wider range of services — maybe with increased scrutiny over training pre and post degree, like MDs have.

I disagree with most of the argument in the parent

> I think the problem stems from there being too many people in the profession that care about almost nothing

IMO you need to substantiate this claim.

> even a very small percentage of wildly greedy people can damage a system severely

This is medicine you're talking about. If the doctor doesn't have contact with patients, they aren't affecting them. I just cannot follow the claim that a greedy doctor can have an outsized effect. What is the mechanism?

(Half a joke, to make my point:) Greedy doctors aren't like greedy venture capitalists... It seems like they can only suck $500k out of the system every year.

I hate Microsoft and Windows just as much as the next self-respecting nerd, but this is no less a lol right now than it was 20 years ago. It’s like Linux users all play the same 15 titles that have Linux support and think those 15 games reflect broad ecosystem support.

Improvised plunger-type fuzes depend on the bomb(let) falling straight down. This ensures that occurs, but takes up very little packing space compared to a more conventional empennage. A straight up-and-down attitude also tends to increase the efficiency of fragmentation bomb(let)s.

Secondarily, slowing the weapon can be useful for low flying platforms. Retarded bombs use spring-loaded airbrakes, inflatable ballutes, and/or parachutes to slow the weapon enough to allow the bomber to escape damage.

> The integration with charging status and locations isn't something that Apple or Android offers.

Er, what? My EV integrates with CarPlay. Apple Maps does route planning (including charging stops) based on the car's current and projected SoC. It even automatically updates the charging plan on the fly if/when conditions change.

CarPlay literally already does all the things you claim it can't do. On cars not built by Rivian, of course.

All of which are very easily replaceable. That list is laughable for an example of lock in.

I used to run AutoCAD on a 80286 with a maths co-pro with 1 MB RAM. It has changed somewhat since!

Who gives a shit about QB? - you could just run it in a VM and it probably runs under Wine. You can also just switch accounting vendor - there are quite a few. Double book keeping is a good 600 years old and can be considered pretty open source these days.

You may even do some real good to your business (if you think you need QB) by going old school and really getting to grips with the numbers. Buy three huge ledgers and label them: "Sales" "Purchase" and "Nominal" or "General". Also grab an exercise book to act as a cash book and a couple of notebooks to document the system. Now, you will need to do docs too so you will need a drawing board to design your forms ...

Now CAD is not the most common business software in use by anyone which is probably why you went for AutoCAD (which you have heard of), rather than, say, Solidworks or Catia. Autodesk is a vendor and not a stuff.

What action would you like? In this case everyone says it was likely a rare disease and not sepsis. Like, I'm sorry that this is and will be the reality of healthcare for the rest of our lives, if you have a rare thing pop up that can kill you in a matter of days you're going to need an absurd amount of luck for a doctor to notice.

Most sectors of the American people have their heads constantly pumped full of barely different flavors of propaganda to manufacture consent to roll out the red carpet for billionaires. Thus, journalism has retreated to fits and starts of independent journalists and writers on substack who lack funding, distribution, promotion, or shared infrastructure to dispel lies and terrible ideas. And the left (excluding big D Democrats) has no funding or infrastructure either compared to the right, who have networks, PACs, and a whole support ecosystem. Every ordinary American should want relatively equally-matched spheres of influence to offer a more stable political tension through countervailing opposition rather than different flavors of wealth and ownership worship as the panacea while not doing much for ordinary people except screwing them.

It’s a great question actually, and the answer has mostly to do with Romanization. Japanese and English are sufficiently structurally different, that even the sentence length won’t necessarily be one to one (eg subject and object inverted).

Another thing that happens is time code shifts that come from differences in frame rate between source material and what the subtitlers end up with (eg 24 vs 23.98 if I’m remembering correctly), which can cause subs to have what we called “ramping” issues over time (timing gets less and less accurate). So you have to go through and reset all the lines anyway.

That being said, we DID do this sometimes, but maybe that takes your time down to 25 minutes, the hard minimum possible time to accurately subtitle a 25 minute show.

And translators hated having to add the times codes (or copy paste their translations over the CCs) — they preferred to just give a script to the subtitler and let them handle it. And actually, if it’s a really good subtitler, they can! In about 35 mins.

So I think the translators were probably right to push back, as it’s only 10 minute savings for probably >10 mins on their part.

This code also looks generally fixed in Lua5.4, https://github.com/lua/lua/blame/9ea06e61f20ae34974226074fc6.... Valkey and Redis really need to move to Lua that isn't so old.

But writing an entirely new, bespoke high-level shader programming language is more robust? And robust in what way? The SPIR-V format is vastly easier to parse than a textual language.

And WGSL will still bounce through HLSL for DirectX because DXIL is an awful, undocumented mess of ancient LLVM-IR with a giant pile of bolt-on special semantics. Directly authoring DXIL is awful.

There’s a thread about how emergency physicians are paid. It varies from group to group:

Physicians can be salaried and receive benefits from their group or hospital

Physicians can be 100% productivity based meaning that they will only get paid by the amount of patients they treat but they receive no other benefits from the group or hospital

In between these two groups, there is a wide variety of compensation Packages that are complicated to discuss in this comment.

Nonetheless, the overwriting factor for all emergency physicians is that we triage patients, not only after triage, but internally as well, including those patients at reside within the treatment rooms and those outside in the waiting room.

The question is, can we see less patients and spend more time with them and the answer is yes but to the detriment of the entire department and possibly not seeing a patient who is sick and who hasn’t been seen yet. Do you have to be able to tell who you can spend five minutes with and who needs 30 minutes.

Through put his king, but quality is queen, so there’s always a trade-off between seeing patients fast enough and to see enough patients through your shift, but to also how they were with all to determine which patients will require more time and more due diligence.

Every shift is a pull and push between these two dichotomies and it’s never easy and there are multiple decisions that have to be made.

But AFAIK Cat-M1 falls into the "LTE" umbrella, which means it could be phased out by T-Mobile

I'm quite confident if it was anyone besides Elon behind spacex, we'd be hailing starship(cross fingers it works out) as one of the most exciting things we've ever done. And we should be, because it is.

It's something for humanity to be excited about and root for. What happened to wanting to achieve things? Having things to look forward to, build toward and be proud of is healthy for society. Must we aspire to and dream of nothing because there's suffering on earth, is that what it is? Why can't we take it as the objective good it is that we're trying to push technological boundaries that will unlock more advancements in science? In what world does HN not want that?

Australian ISPs are legally required to retain metadata for two years.

That's one of the best reasons to use a VPN if you're in Australia. Give up as little as possible.

I have found, however, lots of sites block or Captcha-restrict IP addresses that are (somehow determined as) non-residential, and Netflix restricts its content as well.

The subs are noticeably worse in a continuing trend. Maybe I am just now noticing it but in the dubs for the most recent shows it seems like the important subs for text (like important signs, etc) in a dub are also now missing and only come up if you turn subs on with the dub. Crunchyroll has clearly also done other things though that have impacted the experience. They started by removing comments and a year ago (?) and then added the -incredibly- annoying wipe to 'here watch this' that can't be avoided when a show ends and there isn't a next episode. We will see how they evolve. Are there any other actually good services out there? hidive has very limited content and a terrible interface. I don't know of anything with the catalogue that crunchyroll has.

One way or another, I think most of us have lifestyles subsidized by society.

OP could also have bought stocks in 2015, and perhaps done even better than buying a house. Since the beginning of that year, the S&P500 has more than tripled, while housing has gone up about 50% (though of course leverage helps). For all we know, OP does hold stocks, which wouldn't cramp his lifestyle at all.

Plus he claims to spend less with this lifestyle, which also helps.

Nobody is defending their behavior. You're just proving the brainwashing point I made by instinctively going into attack dog mode making silly arguments.

And no, China's oppression of Tibet is nothing close to a million dead Iraqis and an ancient country turned into a failed state. The fact you'd even make such a goofy comparison shows how deep American indoctrination runs.

Your tax dollars are still torturing brown people without trial in Gitmo and genociding Palestinians btw.
