Man, they are benchmarking the whole SSD. I actually sent you the graph. The SSDs go over 80C and then throttle. Not all of them, but enough of them to be a real problem. The NVMe covers actually work in reducing the temperature, that's also in the graph. You are wrong and you seem to have no knowledge about this topic at all, you really should not be so confident.

Read and learn! And then accept when an initial assumption turns out to be wrong.
Tesla has lidar equipped vehicles that presumably provide training data for depth perception as you're describing. Although given the rarity of the sightings probably just one or two.
Yup. But I thought it was the NSA for an encryption program?
Yet another reason why I prefer buying physical/DRM-free copies of things I want to use in the long run. There is not a single cloud software vendor I can trust to not screw me over in 5 years when they either force me to have an account (and this is a big push everywhere) or shut down their activation servers.
In English the word commonly refers to the norse people of the time as a whole.

I'd love to see an open source real user metrics analytics system like this. Lighthouse is great for getting a general idea of web perf but it doesn't tell you what real users experience.

Currently the only way I've found to cobble together something like this is Perfume.js with some backend that feeds into Influx/Grafana, which can be a lot to set up.
SimpleMachines, Inc. Debuts First-of-Its-Kind High Performance Chip
Luckily they don't need to consider what some rich capitalist CEO thinks and don't need to return to MicrosoftHub and hopefully they won't. Especially given there are plenty of easy options available: self host gitlab outside of US, use something non-US, like gitea, etc.

But in case they do something that stupid, there will be forks. I will probably even make one fork myself with removed code reinstated.

How is this a security risk for your therapist?
Did I misread the article, or is this not really saying anything? I think most comments here think that this means locally overriding policies leads to elevated access on the server, but what is demonstrated is only enabling certain UX features that are disabled per server side policy by lying to the client. For example, the video demonstrating "bypassing cloud storage restrictions" only enables the client side button to add providers other than SharePoint, but this has no effect serverside. Similarly, bypassing editing and deleting policies client side is shown but with no mention of whether this has any effect on the server or is just a cosmetic effect on the client.

Another blog post could be written titled "I wrote my own teams client where I'm allowed to edit messages locally", would that be a security issue?

In other words there is not really anything of note, if I read the post correctly.

My historical analogue is the telephone. Adoption and the number of switchboard operators was growing so fast that it was said that at that rate everyone would have to be an operator. Then direct-dialing became a thing that replaced switchboards. If software continues to eat the world, no-code/low-code a matter of when, not if.

This is the interesting thing about Open Source is you get interesting developments like this that you didn't anticipate!
It would have been a courtesy to Teams users too, not just MS. I don't see the downside of going through the proper channels before disclosing this publicly unless the goal is some kind of "revenge" for the bug.
Also, blind humans (and bats) can walk (and fly) around the city pretty easily with just sound. Why would you tie your hands behind your back and try to make a robot that can navigate the city using only sound?

Yeah this has always been my take on it as well. From what I remember the earliest lines are just lines and geometric patterns usually seemingly to do with water sources and navigation. Once they mastered the technique for long lasting pictures in the terrain why not start making fun things like cats, condors, and spiders.
Likely just simple glue logic. Things like converting one protocol into another, doing some multiplexing or some simple pre-processing or filtering on some sensor data. They're incredibly tiny (2x2mm) and use little power, so they pop up in designs pretty regularly.
There's no compass for drawing animals with.
It's interesting that the same company can produce both Teams, being pretty bad, and VS Code, being very good.

I think it was simply rushed to production. I remember VS Code not being that amazing at the start (slow etc.), but with time, effort and love put into it, it grew to become a competent IDE.

Teams was horrible when it first came out, but I'm noticing some improvements in performance and stability since then.
I wouldn't expect to see anything like this on SP3 anyway, since it would take some time to do the work and by then the current generation would likely be whatever they replace SP3 with in order to support DDR5.
Not necessarily; just offhand I remember these: https://reactjs.org/docs/react-component.html#legacy-lifecyc...

Admittedly those are trivial renames, but they've been renamed as such because they're very likely to be buggy with async rendering.

I don't understand why every advertised feature of Teams can't be done with a web interface, like Slack.

Even with Slack I see no reason for a desktop client, which looks to me like just a widget-less browser running slack.com inside. I didn't need an app for that. And with the web client I can inject JS/CSS as I please (e.g. to prevent sending typing indicators).

Same. I mean I understand how it works but I ask myself what's the point every time. I've looked into react and I hate how it works and I hate how every 2 months people are begging for some new optimization because its slow and sucks. Then version 5000 is released and fixes that slowdown, but every react site I've ever used is still buggy and slow as hell.
Seems like a surface hack that makes people think something bad happens. I hate these kinds of issues as they will prompt emails from non-technicals who think it’s a real threat.
I also find it laughable to claim that a session token is a "rolling cipher". If the claim is to be taken at face value, it would ban any form of scraping, as most sites invariably use some sort of session token.
I hate to say it, but he does have a point. Anecdata: I was a mechanic quite a while, and while my coworkers were decent, I know that there were enough other shitty people in the trade that none of the parts stores in town could keep a female delivery driver on staff. I never knew of a female delivery driver that lasted over 2 months; and I had 2 black drivers comment along the lines of "those jackasses as shop X called me a n* b/c we didn't have something in stock". Delivery drivers weren't especially high-turnover positions, normally drivers lasted long enough I would end up knowing them by name.

And even though I felt my coworkers were somewhat OK, they would still make remarks (especially homophobic & racist ones) that would be at least grounds for disciplinary action in most white collar fields.

That (along with RSI and the pay) was one of the reasons I left the trade. I enjoyed the job, it is really satisfying to have that sense of accomplishment at the end of the day, but I was frankly tired of having to be around/associated with crappy people.
FBI FOIA Response Sheds New Light on Infamous Hacktivist Pentagon Incident
re 7), my understanding is that they're there to collect the spread, they don't care about you or anyone else; they just need to hedge, which sometimes gets interesting. i'm interested in hearing some details if they can really be mean.
This article chronicles not just the history of the Electronic Disturbance Theater and their SWARM (‘Stop the War in Mexico’) ‘FloodNet’ DDoS protest but also the history of the strand of 90’s hacktivism to which EDT belong to as well as change our understanding of what was at the time described as “appropriate countermeasures” by the Pentagon.
It seems like most of this is caused by forced arbitration.

I’m curious if making forced arbitration illegal it would resolve a lot of the big guy picking on the little guy issues we see with google, amazon, apple etc. If they actually had to go in front of neutral judge instead a biased arbiter things might not feel so unfair and stacked when it comes to an app developer facing off against apple or a merchant against amazon.

>This is similar to employer sponsored health coverage, and the reason both of them won't go away anytime soon.

Employer sponsored health insurance may be cheaper either due to the pool of employee lives being younger/healthier than the general population, and/or because the employer is offering less coverage than the alternative options available on healthcare.gov. The big managed care organizations (UHC/Anthem/Humana/Cigna/CVS) all have better negotiating power than a single employer.

Similarly, no employer is going to be able to negotiate lower pricing than Vanguard/Schwab/Fidelity.
> I think is funny how on HN people dismiss Tesla when there are actually tons of people who already do their commute on the highway almost without intervention literally all over the world.

That's just advanced driver assistance, nowhere near "full self driving". Granted, it's better than other cars, but it's still not self driving.

Also, "almost without intervention" has no meaning if you have to keep your hand at the wheel at all times ready to takeover.

I hate this concept. I have a lot of “boilerplate” real life interactions but I would never replace them with a robot. If people really think nuts and bolts writing is not a worthwhile enough endeavour for humans to do, then shame. What an immense forfeiture, to never again be surprised by a furniture catalogue.
Thank you for mentioning this. I've been getting frustrated with my Firefox install for a while because everything is so slow and it eats so much memory. After deleting the 200 service workers [1] I didn't even realize were installed, it is taking wildly less memory and seems generally snappier. I wouldn't call it "night and day", but it's faster.

I had been under the impression that service workers required approval from the user to be installed. I had service workers from websites that I haven't visited in years and don't even exist anymore, sitting there chewing on my RAM every time I started Firefox.

Also Twitter has also been broken for me this way for months.

Service workers have some nice features, but I submit that they need to be something to be whitelisted by users, not something websites can just toss in there whenever they feel like it. The odds of one of them screwing up and eating far more resources than they have any right to approach 1 as the number of them increases. I don't know exactly how they managed to collectively eat 2GB of RAM and I don't care; there is no way they were bringing that much value to me, especially as I permit no website to simply push me notifications.

[1]: A suspiciously round number; it was exactly 200. Is that a limit? I don't see it in about:config.
I’m even more confused. In the video I see him doing something completely different from what he says in the article.

Neither the article nor the video prove that it does anything more than limit the display options client-side though. The source of truth is still the server and nothing here speaks to that...
Reading the article it definitely seems poorly worded but I don't see any evidence of any security issue here. Cosmetically changing the client is a non issue.
Can you elaborate? How is it harmful to discuss this?..
I think it's coming not soon based on the last comment of this issue.
If you don't want oxygen, breathing gets a real danger too.

But "real danger" usually has a more well defined meaning...
If by "rerouting" you mean user level forwards, then that's generally done at the mailbox level, but not the client side (depending on system and rules), because users are allowed to set their own forwards.

Mail loops in mail servers have always been a thing, and there are various ways to detect and stop them, usually by adding headers to a message and detecting it's the same one that was seen previously.

If there's actually a client side forward (which mail servers can't prevent because running mail through a local program, whether it be procmail, spamassassin, or some other mail categorization and filtering program) is a valid use case with a long history. There's also the case where the mail client is applying it's own complex rules and sending responses automatically. If the message is actually a new one, there's not an easy way to detect the loop.

There's a reason why Gmail for a long time (still?) didn't allow you to forward your mail to another Gmail address. I would argue that for Exchange, where it's generally much easier to track down individuals, erroring on the side of allowing administrators to do what they want to block this (whether that be company policy, exchange policy, or whatever) is the correct design choice.

> if the school is as AP test centric as you describe not that much will be lost

The school is stunningly AP centric. When I attended, total number of AP courses taken was the primary measure distinguishing students. There were entire core classes that were not offered as non-AP courses. It is a major metric in what makes the school so highly rated in magazines.

The school does teach advanced classes, but the best stuff isn't in the test-driven structure. I'm married to a college professor and friends with many of them. The idea that APs are equivalent to college courses is largely bunk.

> a limited amount will be lost by allowing administrators more leeway to discriminate against Asians.

How precisely is a random lottery that requires certain education history and grades to enter discriminating against asians? Asian students still disproportionately make up lottery-eligible students.

Probably true. My thinking was that maybe there is a really deep layer of coral and detritus on the submerged streets, so a high monument built to somewhat withstand falling hundreds of feet in a building collapse would end up in a shallower layer and be found more easily.

You'd probably want more than one strategy for sending a message to the future. The historic plans for nuclear waste repositories can be interesting in that regard.

GPT-3 not being suitable for your particular use case does not mean that all use cases are shallow and limited?

That being said, I'm not sure I understand why you can't use GPT-3 to make an HN simulator.
It _can_ prerender all of those combinations. Here is a directory I made with 1000+ pages, prerendered and hosted for free on netlify: https://www.givepuppylove.com/organizations/ . I've found that single digit thousands is about the maximum you can currently have and keep build times reasonable.

If you want to recognize the user's location and display the appropriate currency or language, you would probably want to wrap content dependent on location in a "ClientOnly" type component. So it would not be prerendered in that case. Example code:

export default function ClientOnly({ children, ...delegated }) {
const [hasMounted, setHasMounted] = useState(false)
useEffect(() => { setHasMounted(true) }, [])

return hasMounted ? <div {...delegated}>{children}</div> : <div></div>
}

This allows you to grab things off the "window" and change behavior based on that info, which you can't do with prerendering.
Bill to kick blacklisted Chinese firms out of U.S. markets
Do you have a source for tens of billions? Did you confuse market cap for spending? I can't find any good sources, but that seems like an order of magnitude too much.

They just raised $3bn (the vast majority of which is presumably not spent), and piecing together other sources indicates Google put in a couple billion of their own.

This article claims they've spent $3bn on R&D:

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a30857661/autonomous-car-s...

Google's approach requires a lot of mapping, yes. But they mapped damn near every road in the important markets to pursue maps, an opportunity two orders of magnitude smaller than self driving.

If their cars and software are both ready, the mapping won't be more than a small roadbump.
> They delivered multiple projects that were at least of comparable size.

They also delivered Witcher 2, which - many years later - is still full of bugs and not playable on some HW.
He has to make that argument because he has to justify not having LIDAR on Teslas, and he doesn't have LIDAR on Teslas because it's still too expensive to have it mass marketed. But as with most things, price will keep going down and it'll eventually become the go to, and Tesla will be stuck with years of camera data and zero LIDAR training.
"This time it's different" comments are always suspect, but there's a reason to think it is different this time -- though in the opposite direction of TFA.

The closest thing to "permanent" in American politics is the Supreme Court, and it belongs to one party for the rest of my lifetime. The Supreme Court's power is indirect, but it's absolute: the Constitution means what they say it means.

And that makes them the final say in who gets elected. They can nearly always find a reading of the Constitution as a fig leaf for the outcome they want.

That includes determining who will choose their successors. They don't usually apply that indiscriminately, but as of now there's no reason not to. There is no appeal.

Eventually the demographics may change who makes up the party. But as a matter of partisanship, the opposition is now irrelevant. Even if they have a short-term win next week, it won't suffice to change the permanent nature of the composition of the Supreme Court. It's different this time because there's no adaptation that can suffice to overcome that thumb on the scale of every future decision.
> There appears to be an implication that only immigrants or minorities need to be charged for their speech and that only immigrants or minorities can be radicalized.

No, but you can't deport citizens, and you can deport foreigners. There's no point in dealing with trouble makers if you can just avoid them.

> Who decides what is severe enough to justify charges? What if your ideas are deemed too harmful?

Those are good points, and I don't have the answers. I'm not suggesting actual policy, I'm saying that you can't ignore them or "agree to disagree" with them and keep a free and open society. You have to choose, and I value society more than being nice to every person on earth.
Wow. But at the same time I'm not surprised. I interviewed with them and like all companies everywhere, it consisted mostly of a hiring practice where engineers ask you solving problems that aren't related to the job, for a lead engineering position. It also felt more like a place where interviewers wanted to show they were better. If only they paid more attention to what's actually needed.
Its worth pointing out that Next does not provide react components like cards - that is a separate implementation and just not a part of next.js.

Apple versus Epic Games 'Fortnite' App Store saga – the story so far

I really wish we had better understanding about the failure modes of NVMe past wearing out the flash. Lets say we're writing a vibration sensor's data to the drive, once an hour. We leave 50% of the drive unpartitioned to give the drive controller plenty of headroom for whatever it wants. It might take centuries to get to the expected TBW. Yet there is still some kind of MTBF that is likely to happen.

This above workload scenario is 100% write based. What about drives in data-centers that have lots of user images that they are unlikely/not-incentivized to prune. The drive could, hypothetically, only need to be written once, then forever read. When do sectors start going bad here? Or is the failure mode otherwise, in other componenets? Will this drive last a century? More?

What other modes of failure should we expect, how probable are they?

I love your challenge here @JAlexoid. Switching from thinking in terms of TB/$ to TB/y/$ is a great twist.
