I think it can be a helpful way to think about it for some beginners, but yeah, it's not strictly true. I'd say "the goal of 3D APIs is to display 3D images on your 2D screen", and that means that, at the far end of the pipeline, after you've projected and flattened everything, you have 2D concepts: triangle rasterization and fragment shaders operate entirely in 2D, for instance. The only remaining "3D"-esque thing, which is perspective-correct attribute interpolation, happens in screen space.
For a period I was amazed by my NGPC - was an a excellent fun device. I got a deal from lik-sang.com (was closed for selling Japanese psp's to America, even though some of the first orders were placed by Sony-USA). Anyway they had a brilliant deal of like $30 delivered for a pocket colour and 6 games, from some old warehouse stock I guess. Even though it was a technically dated device the games were all excellent and battery life was great. Got it before the gba came out, and even when that came along it was still in my opinion, a more fun focused device.
Think I sold it to fund my psp (think got closer to £60 which was nice ;))

I don’t know if it’s because I am old fart but my generation (born early 80s) would teach their parents how to use a computer or the internet when we were teenagers. The next generation might teach me how to use the latest gestures on iOS or instagram, that doesn’t seem to be a new technology or a useful skill to me.
Tottaly fair, I assume you would agree that both sides political then have the right to "bitch" about the state of the world?

Anyway this sort of proves my point, we have derailed.
thanks, but currently I'm more interested into which are more in demand or used on the remote market, those sites included both on site and remote, but not remote only.
Yup fully agree. There are better forums for politics. It's just distracting reading this crap everyday. I'd like HN to stick to pure tech. Leave out geopolitics/economics/psychology/random deep science articles/philosophy please. Most people here have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to this stuff. And there just much better places on the internet for it.
Car2go handles it like this: When you get in the car, you rate its cleanliness.

If it’s not drivable (flat tire, puke, etc.), they have a team of people on-call to fix them.

If it’s just not clean but still drivable, it alerts them and at some point the on-call folks will come out and clean it.

They also have the ability to charge the previous driver a cleaning fee.
How can he be so certain of this? Analysis doesn't make it a fact, and even Tesla spokesperson is denying it..
The ME-based DRM provided by Intel isn't inherently limited to securing UHD Blu-rays, and you can expect Google's Widevine, as used by Netflix, to consume this functionality as well.

My understanding is that the industry has decided that UHD/4K content should require hardware-level DRM, no matter whether on disc or streamed, and that Netflix UHD requires a system with this functionality.

Wow! Yeah, no kidding... I would've wished I would've had the time and energy to pursue the fraud too. I'm glad you at least caught it... most people wouldn't even know about EXIF data, let alone think to check it. I hope they don't keep doing what they did to you to other tenants...
That's only so if you don't take transmission losses into account. Somehow many people tend to forget that transmission isn't free or even cheap.
To be fair, after reading about this, I might have to start taking photos of the interior of my uber after a trip - and not rating for a number of days so that if this happens, I can give a 1 star rating. Too many of those and the driver gets kicked off the platform.
They'll never agree to it; we just have to outnumber them and outvote them.
I am utterly baffled by how much attention this is getting. This should barely qualify as news. I guess people really love their meat, or something.
How are the two mutually exclusive?

There's no technical reason I can think of that Intel couldn't separate the "initialize" and "management" functions of ME.

If an OS is installed, it has rights to write into the "management" storage area, remove everything there, or install alternative functionality.

If no OS is installed, and remote features like power-off-network-login need to work, have the NIC jump straight into the storage area and start executing. If there's nothing there / corrupt data because the OS / user screwed it up... well, that's their fault.

There's no non-DRM case for precluding users from being able to overwrite the ME of their own hardware.
> encourages people to tinker with the code, but not to clone a copy and sell it.

What I usually see happening is that they release two versions. One under GPLv3, MIT or whatever very permissive licence and a Pro version with many advanced features with a proprietary licence.

If you want to prevent forking and copying then I either suggest to keep it closed source or make sure that you maintain the best version of the app so users will have no motivation to switch to a fork and be loyal to the original creator.
Only because you chose to derail it and, unfortunately, you were the first person to post a comment, following which the piece appears to have been flagged off the front page.

Ooh, that's a really good question. My first thought is that it's the advertising industry. Or more abstractly, the system of consumerism. But I'll have to think about that.

It seems as though it has been working for them though, no? Isn’t Netflix and its DRM evidence of that?

Luxury for me means a touchscreen that works, a media/navigation system that doesn't make me want to gouge my eyes out, a car that adapts to my preferences at every step of the way, evolves as technology evolves around it and an experience that was deliberately crafted from start to finish.

Luxury for me does not mean fancy stitching, special leather, a mechanical clock on the dashboard for no reason, software that doesn't get updated, exquisite wood grain in random places, lots of knobs, shiny trims, "dealership experience", or 4 years of free oil changes.

I think you'll see the definition of luxury change as our concept of mobility changes. Traditional markers of luxury won't matter anymore and that will leave incumbents who have traditional luxury as their core competence in a weird place.
For me mindfulness is far more relaxing than studying, watching a TV series, working, programming, etc (all "active" things). Never mind socializing which is the opposite of relaxing to me, ALWAYS (autism-related). Although it differs per technique (some are easier and fit me more than others).

Especially the effect after it makes that work more fruitful, since for various hours I'll be less tense and more focused. For example, it'd make socializing more relaxing.

Those are 2 very valid reasons for me to call it relaxing. Then again, I find running and listening to certain music also relaxing. Because after a while, I get in an automated flow ("trance") akin to meditating.

The 3rd reason is that if I'm rather tired, mindfulness can potentially get me to sleep. I often (almost daily) do it before I go to sleep, and it aids me to get to sleep. I much prefer it over: overthinking, fantasizing, or masturbating/sex.

Its already painful for me to meditate whilst sitting instead of lying but one gets used to that. Its just untrained muscles getting trained. As long as you don't strain yourself, you're fine.
I can read that "wall of text" in 2 minutes while you waste 20 minutes watching those videos.
So, the definition of a feature only required for a single application (playback), and unwanted by consumers at that. This clearly did not belong in any general-purpose processor (if it should have been built at all).

You know, if movie and recording studios want this so badly, let them put up the billions it should require for them to produce their own coprocessor.
It is entirely possible that this was real LSD. To believe that the "real" stuff can't cause these kinds of psychotic episodes is absolutely naive. It is also very unlikely DXM would ever be passed off as LSD, the dosage range is in the 200-800mg area and as such is IMPOSSIBLE to fit on any standard blotter. DXM is also a disassociative drug primarily effecting the NMDA receptor sites in the brain whose effects are markedly different from the sertonergic-centric tryptamine effect produced by LSD and related substances.

The hyperband (HB) paper you refer to was discussed (briefly) by Frank Hutter in this talk - [1]. He observes that the interpretation is not correct, and had the experiment run longer, you would've seen different behavior. In fact their group combined Bayesian Optimization (BO) with HB; producing some interesting results. Some initial results were reported in a NIPS'17 workshop - [2], and a detailed version was part of the recently concluded ICML'18 - [3].

When processing end-user PII data (I see email address combined with IP address) you need a privacy policy. When registering the website owner doesn't seem to have to agree to a terms-of-service governing the processing, so who owns the data isn't specified.

Isn't loc2country an implementation of a reverse geocoder?
Nothing requires that the ME initializes the hardware - the BIOS can do so as well. So if the initialization sequence is well-understood the ME can be disabled entirely and the initialization done by coreboot or whatever. This is possible on Intel CPUs. Unfortunately on AMD it doesn't work as unless the secure coprocessor clears the reset lines the other cores cannot wake up.
Besides the copyright issue limiting the lifespan on GitHub specifically, I expect this attack to be undertaken mostly by highly resourced organizations in pursuit of competitive intelligence, not hobbyists in pursuit of dumping flashes to the Internet.

Not necessarily, if the business is a local monopoly, or if the use of unionized labor is enforced by law.

The example of the former are dockers in many US ports (you usually can't easily build another port next to existing one), and of the latter, construction businesses in some US cities, like NYC.

Agree. Though if we think about it, kids who were computer savy in the 90s were certainly more technologically sophisticated than computer savy kids now (when you have to actually install TCP/IP it makes you learn what it is!). But the population of kids with daily access to computers then was much lower than today. So now you have a much bigger base which on average is less technical, but because of its cheer size, there is probably a much greater absolute population of sophisticated kids now than 20y ago.
To me, Netflix is evidence that there's no point to DRM. I still can torrent any content I want, but I almost never do. But if it's on Netflix or anything else I subscribe to, I won't bother.

I suspect Netflix's DRM is purely about pacifying video industry executives, and that it makes approximately no difference to the bottom line of anybody except the people hyping their proprietary DRM solutions.
I think unit tests should be written as corresponding MIDI files: lyrics = code, music = tests.
Interesting that you bring up the library -- when it comes to small towns, the library is the deal breaker for me. They usually have thin, dated collections.
He links seven studies showing increased mortality from keto diets here:

https://medium.com/thrive-global/the-skeleton-in-the-ketogen...

We agree that refined carbs are a bad idea but avoiding complex carbs is also a bad idea.

Plus you should at least consider that a diet high in animal products has a massively higher environmental footprint than a plant based diet. If everybody ate the way most keto proponents suggest we should then we as a planet and species would be screwed.
This is awesome service, thank you for showing me.

Great to hear about the happy coexistence of creatives and small town communities.

A few of the takeaways for me:

- General rule, a city can support 1 creative for every 1,000 people

- First mover advantage: small towns see creatives as novelty and are willing to assist.

- Benefits creatives moving to small town, but with an existing "big city" network

- Lowered cost of living means increased budgets for passion projects and less team dedicated to paid, professional work
Agreed that we need variance on the overall distribution of incomes to produce incentives to more efficiently produce goods, but not necessarily the bimodal distribution that's forming now. Not really disagreeing with you: I agree that we do not tax ownership-based income enough.

I think 1 is a bit misleading because it shows city populations and not metro area population. You get cities like Miami and Atlanta in the top 10 by growth rate that look like mid size cities but are actually in the top ten largest metro areas in the US.
I wonder how do you separate "unjust gains" from "just".

Criminal proceeds can be detected and reverted by criminal courts.
Yes, I completely agree. I not only can torrent stuff, I can do it very comfortably as I used to do it a lot and have created a pipeline that will download it complete with subs in English and Czech, correctly name and categorize and make it available to my network so I can play it directly on my TV - all just by clicking on a magnet link. And yet since Netflix is available, I don't, Netflix is even more comfortable, and I want to support their original work.
If the interest rate in the loan was pegged to track inflation, it should be roughly zero-practical-gain.

But it's still clunky.

There's no reason we can't say "people earning more than a few million dollars a year can afford to pay a 97% tax rate."

We just need to have it wired together into a comprehensive plan. Hold passports if you have outstanding tax debt. Orchestrate "regime change" in Carribean tax shelters and Luxembourg instead of the Middle East for a change.

For heat dissipation you want the most surface area per volume (because you can only transfer heat away in the surface area). The optimal arrangement for that would be a huge, flat, one atom thick surface.

Another goal we have is low latency (and high clock rate, which is depenend on low latency), which suggests putting everything in a qube or even a shere. So we compromise somewhere in the middle with a square with a few layers.

My takeaway was that the industry attitude towards DRM in CPUs and GPUs has been the same “lock it down and obscure it”, and the reference to GPU contractual obligations was considered relevant based on the assumption that industry agreements for both CPU lockdown and GPU lockdown would be similar. It’s clear Intel is motivated to provide user lockouts on its critical regions, so it stands to reason they may have a contract similar to the known GPU contracts.

I didn’t find it very conspiracy style. It seemed to me a well thought out and rational article. It reminded me of how Facebook can never truly “protect user data” because they build a business reliant on collecting and distributing user data.

Isn’t this vulnerability based on AMT, which is based on ME but disabled by default? Even then, every setup I’ve seen have AMT (a separate Ethernet interface) behind a firewall and is only accessible via local network. The outrage is hardly justified.
I think most devices have similar vulnerabilities which aren't well known and hard to defend against, like the separate processor in most phones.

“Cluster Failure”: FMRI False Positives Revisited
The US is one of the world's largest and most lucrative markets. If these foreign companies want to do business with the US they could be required to allow unions and adopt labor protections at least as stringent as those in the US. Another thing that could be done is to tax companies that want to move their assets or businesses abroad. Do both of these and much of the incentive to move businesses abroad vanishes.

In addition to that pressure, the largely pro-union and pro-labor EU could probably be easily enlisted to adopt a similar policy, thereby locking out offending companies both out of the US and EU markets.

Further, take a look at what happened to the ultra-secretive Swiss banks, which for hundreds of years have held the privacy of their clients sacred, even against the prying eyes of the IRS. The US exerted its influence, and now there's a lot more transparency in even the formerly-secret Swiss banking system. Many of the recent revelations regarding the tax-evading super-rich and what assets they have hidden where have been a result of such increased transparency in the global banking system.

US influence extends far, far past that. If the US decided to become pro-union and then hold the feet of other countries and companies to the fire were they to be anti-union or anti-labor, they could make a huge difference. It certainly won't happen in the current political climate, but it could be done.
I would say the server market could easily adapt to Arm, Power or RISC. However I would concede it's very difficult to replace the desktop/laptop workstation. However Chromebooks are making great strives on this. Yes, they are still sending lots of data to Googles servers, but they do a lot of opensource work. Look at coreboot with depthcharge, which can give you a pretty free (not 100%) Arm notebook.
> GUI environments are not very useful for one program.

Yes they are, which is why lots of DOS apps used one-off GUI environments at the same time that Windows captive and runtime apps became an additional way to acheive the same thing without building your own GUI from scratch.

> And they especially do not play nice with others.

That's not a GUI issue, that may be a “captive version of a desktop environment” issue that affected the captive Windows environment; there's nothing inherent about one-app GUI environment that makes it not support any of the (hacky and unreliable, mostly, because DOS wasn't built as a multitasking environment) multitasking options that DOS apps worked with as well as non-GUI apps.
