It doesn't make sense for the system not to 'grab' a big chunk of your RAM. That is what it is there for. You want stuff to be preloaded into RAM so you can access it quickly if needed. You only want to leave some of it free so that if you launch a new application it has breathing room.

For example Chrome will scale the amount of RAM it reserves based on how much you have available.

Good question without an easy answer. I was a long-term Gentoo user but recently dumped it for NixOS. Colleagues were pushing it and so far I'm happy. Much less compiling and manual configuration which is what was driving me crazy about Gentoo. It took rather little effort to get the system in a state that feels very comfortable. But my needs have changed over time too, so this isn't strictly my opinion on what is best.

More than a decade ago a programmer friend got Ubuntu running on a second hand desktop for a rather computer illiterate arts & letters student. He was able to navigate the GUI like any other system, and it had Firefox, OpenOffice, and mplayer. I knew then that Linux is a perfectly fine desktop OS. And now we're back to using Debian of a sort. ;-)

> can you point out resident keys in the spec

The WebAuthn specification calls this a "Client-side-resident Public Key Credential Source" or "Resident Credential" for short.

> Is this only for usernameless sites?

It facilitates the "usernameless" flow yes, since the Resident Credential includes everything needed for the authenticator to claim you are some particular user and prove it. But it will still work for other flows.

> How do sites request to use RK’s?

Set the residentKey parameter to "required" during enrollment. Enrolling an authenticator that can't do Resident Credentials should fail in this case.

Sites which want a second factor only should pick "discouraged" which allows the authenticator to remember all the credentials if it wants to (e.g. an iPhone has gigabytes of secure Flash storage so why not) but discourages doing so.

> If there’s multiple usernameless accounts per site how does the user select which RK to use?

Potentially the authenticator has its own UI. But the CTAP2 protocol allows the host to build a UI by asking for all the valid credentials for some particular relying party (ie web site). It goes something like this:

* Host PC-> Security Key "Do you know credentials for ycombinator.com ? We're doing the usernameless thing, so I have no hints just asking"

* Security Key "Yes, here is proof I'm user 48B4C9CDA2 aka hpfr, also, I can prove 6 identities on ycombinator.com including that one"

* Host PC "OK, what's the next identity?"

* Security Key "Here is proof I'm user A29EE0F103 aka tialaramex"

(and so on, iterating through the identities quickly)

The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson may fit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Years_of_Rice_and_Salt

> The Years of Rice and Salt is an alternate history novel by American science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson, published in 2002. The novel explores how world history might have been different if the Black Death plague had killed 99% of Europe's population, instead of a third as it did in reality. Divided into ten parts, the story spans hundreds of years, from the army of the Muslim conqueror Timur to the 21st century, with Europe being re-populated by Muslim pioneers, the indigenous peoples of the Americas forming a league to resist Chinese and Muslim invaders, and a 67-year-long world war being fought primarily between Muslim states and the Chinese and their allies. While the ten parts take place in different times and places, they are connected by a group of characters that are reincarnated into each time but are identified to the reader by the first letter of their name being consistent in each life.

> The novel explores themes of history, religion, and social movements. The historical narrative is guided more by social history than political or military history. Critics found the book to be rich in detail, realistic, and thoughtful. The Years of Rice and Salt won the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel in 2003. In the same year it was nominated for the Arthur C. Clarke Award, a Hugo Award, and a British Science Fiction Award.

You're not wrong, it's just that I don't think that any of this is incompatible with actually "being a Nazi", in either the classic Germany 1940s edition, or the modern "alt-right neo" 2020s USA edition. The grift is baked in, and always was.
In my experience, the "learn Linux"-part of using Arch is the installing/setup process. Over the past three years, I have had things break perhaps three times. All of them were either my own fault (outdatet package) or warned about through Arch News (which I didn't bother to check because it is only necessary a couple of times a year)

That being said, running Arch on a computer that you need to be working at all time, might not be a good idea for professional reasons. However, I think you are essensially making a similiar argument for Arch, as they are making for the Debian bug.
Oh dear I seem to have fallen into a rabbit hole here.

Adolf's father, Alois Hitler [0] was born illegitimately and his parentage was never established, meaning that Adolph couldn't establish his own "aryan" descent. Alois Hitler was born as Alois Schicklgruber, but he requested to be legitimized in the name of his stepfather Hiedler, which for some reason was registered as Hitler. In the 1930's, Hitler had his cronies dive into his genealogy and Declare that there was no Jewish ancestry in his family. The rumour went though that Alois' mother (Adolph's grandmother) was working as a servant / cook for a Jewish family, and that the father may have been one of the family members. That's a lot of speculation though.

Adolf's mother, Klara Hitler [1] (nèe Pölzl), was Alois' first cousin once removed (yikes); not sure about any Jewish heritage there.

TL;DR we can't be sure because his paternal grandfather is unknown, but there's rumours abound.

Having read a bit more about the new M1 I really think it is designed and speced for the new Air. The RAM is on the package, which makes it very performant and 16G is a reasonable limit for an Air-like computer. The Mini got cheaper and more powerful, so it is not a bad trade off. I strongly assume, that there will be variations/successors to the M1 which are going to support more memory and also more IO (more USB-4 ports, more screens).

Agreed. But I can't think of an example of a company that ever voluntarily downsized. Downsizing usually happens because a new competitor arises that makes a product customers prefer. That's a very difficult proposition in the personal computer space.

> I also haven't used Debian since.

I stopped using Debian when its ridiculous "free" purely ideological approach to software actually caused me issues.

I needed to install Debian on a relatively old laptop a few years ago. It had all "mainstream" hardware. It's WiFi adapter was an Intel one (and a very common/popular one at the time), but it was one that wasn't open source.

How did Debian approach this? It's installer gave me a not very subtle passive aggressive message telling me that although they have the drivers for the device, it was not going to install them... because the ISO did not include them. With no working WiFi, it of course could not connect to the internet to download them! Worse still, turns out that even if it had connected to the internet it wouldn't have downloaded and installed them anyway. I found this out because I managed to use an Ethernet connection.

Completely stupid and frustrating and it felt like I was being blamed as if it was my fault.

Installed Ubuntu, included the drivers, connected to WiFi during the installation.

I have not used Debian on anything since.

The wording on this page suggests that it is a policy:

Funnily enough IP laws do little to protect authors, it's more like a framework to make money for big organisations who pretend they protect authors' interests.
Reading the explanation, the idea in реки is that the information about the "softening" is contained in the е that follows. So it's replaces szcz-like rules with other rules, which admittedly follow the logic of some existing rules in some languages, but which makes the result still less directly "phonological" than some other approaches could be. At least the author admits it's "primarily a thought experiment". Interesting anyway.

I've had multiple offers to buy and invest. And always do your due diligence. One turned out to be a shell company - which means a bigger company secretly trying to low ball acquire my company

In some cases it's VCs or celebrities and you do your due diligence

*

At the end it comes down to one simple thing

If the VC feels this founder and his team worked very hard and not taking that $800,000 (or $800K + x) means those people will get a bit more (and for the company people it means a lot while for VC it means nothing

Then VC doing it is a genuinely good thing

Now consider what it means to someone considering General Catalyst

At best - they are great guys

At worst - they are smart

It also means for sure that they are not

parsimonious
spiteful
shortsighted
vindictive

So now any founder taking investment from General Catalyst knows that there is a good chance that

General Catalyst are honest and reasonable
They will not sabotage an exit to try and maximize their cut at the expense of founders

Is this deriving too much from a simple act?

Perhaps

However, in an industry where VCs are usually known for kicking out founders, this is a welcome change
Where I work they’re stockpiling Intel based Macs before inventory from their VAR runs out. Machines specifically for engineering teams as they use some tools which will only work on Intel. Virtualization tools is one of the needs and the M1 compatibility is not there yet like this post from Parallels mentions.

I remember the last transition from PowerPC to Intel. At that time it was more consumer coded applications that had the wait and see approach or delays. Now that Apple is a mainstream tool used for developer environments, this transition might be more painful as startups rely on OSS that may not be ready for M1.
Sure.

1. The title is meaningless. Replace the HN title's 'may' with 'may not' and it is exactly the same thing.

2. Especially if you consider the original title is How artificial intelligence may be making you buy things. There is nothing concrete in there.

3. It you read that quote again it is a very carefully worded and cherrypicked piece of data, something that is very common in AI hype articles. Without the actual numbers it is also meaningless.

Again, it is only my interpretation that the article is disingenuous, feel free to disagree.

Interesting article, however I think the main problem is the premise that all, or even the majority, of graduating PhD students wish to continue to work in academia.

It will be different across industries, but I work in a pharma R&D company of around 120 people. At a guess, around 40% of the entire staff (admin, management, scientists, technicians) are PhD graduates. They're working in industry and reasonably well paid.

The point is that a desire to secure senior academic positions, such as tenured professor, are not the only reasons people decide to pursue a PhD.

Hi, one of the creators of IOx here. Unlike InfluxDB where you can only do efficient range based queries on one time value, in IOx you will be able to apply predicates efficiently to any column. That means you can have several columns for different times (e.g., time created, forecast time, expire time..).

You will be able to do efficient range queries on any of these. Most use-cases will work best when you partition your data into time chunks, which commonly would be the time you inserted the samples into the database (created time in your case I guess).
