All types of revenue models will justify their actions based on the need for additional revenue. The "war" on "drugs" is a scam perpetuated by those who seek rationalization of their "job" to "fight" "drugs".

Absolutely, a lot of people wanted a "preventative" war against the Soviet Union notably Curtis LeMay:

I've even had people on HN arguing with me that such a war was the "rational" thing to do - which I found rather disturbing, to say the least.
DLSS it is absolutely just a lock-in technology that have nothing to do with hardware itself. It's just neural networks that are trained per-game and included with the driver.

Nvidia did almost the same thing for years by replacing game built-in shaders with their own optimized for their hardware. Whatever you feel it's good idea to support Nvidia for this or not it's up to you of course.
Did Apple do this for craven self interest? Yes. Does it benefit a lot of people who deserve it? Also yes.
never buy from dealership at retail prices period.

go to a smaller dealer and ask them to buy a car from wholesale auction for you and you cover their costs.
that way their margin js transparent and is negotiated upfront.
You will be lucky to get 5-10% discount from retail prices, but wholesale prices at Manheim can be 15-30% less than retail, even more if you are willing to buy less than perfect condition car

She interacts with her peers at school and with her family... by that same token, ANYONE who grew up before Snapchat or the Internet had or has lacking social skills.

Also, she CAN FaceTime. I would not consider Snapchat or TikTok to be "socializing with friends" for an 8 year old.

Yes, I was thinking along similar lines IIUC of a sort of federated search using common db schemas and search apis so that I could crawl pages and they could be dragged in to your SERP by a meta-search engine. I think the main thing you lose is popularity and ranking from other people's past searches - that could be built in but it relies on trusting the individual indices, which would be distributed and so could be modified to fake popularity or return results that were not wanted (though then one could just cut off that part of one's search network).
Libraries will get you the book you want from other libraries, or they'll buy the book for you.

Nowadays, you can get a digital copy instantly instead of waiting for another location to send the book to your library.
It would be awesome, but one of the great things about Raspberry Pis is how inexpensive they are, and I think the M1 is probably pretty expensive—even for Apple.

Epic is part of TenCent which is close to having a monopoly on games these days.

But separately, the only reason to root for ‘the little guy’ is if the little guy is somehow hard done by.

We dislike the fact that Apple makes some money by charging developers 30% for payment services, software delivery, and operating a storefront that users feel safe to buy from.

We say 30% is too much to change for that, because the margin is way too high. Fair enough.

Epic on the other hand makes its money from selling in game currency to children.

That practice needs to be banned altogether.
Well glad we live in a country with laws and not a pseudo-libertarian "all governance by consumer choice" world.

Regardless of what you think "should" happen, the reality is that you massively understated the scope of the applicable law.
Back in the 90s tech futurists were talking about having "the library of congress on the size of your finger nail".

Now we actually could do something in that realm (LoC is about ~10tb and there's 1tb microsd cards; we're probably talking "within 5-7 years" without any exaggeration) but there's so many courts and laws stopping it from happening, the great cambrian explosion of knowledge has been held back.

All of my coworkers make above six figures. We have every sort of benefit that we could want. Why would we want a union? Our company has convinced us that unions are a bad thing by giving us basically anything that a union could have, and more. Why would we want to agitate for more when we already have so much, and risk what we currently have (which is more than adequate)
Yeah, you can actually simulate a good chunk of this with just trig, I actually simulated a mixer[1] in python and was able to work out how I/Q got mixed into the baseband, it was a ton of fun.

Once you've got the data in I/Q lots of the modulation modes just fall out really easily(I recommend reading about AM, FM and BPSK/QPSK as a starting point which then you can generalize into QAM).

I'm running a desktop Linux, and I'm planning to have a dabble with NLP and machine learning. I do some ML-related stuff at work, but I don't have any actual hands-on experience about neural networks or modern NLP.

Provided that I'm running Linux, and I want to do ML, should I get current-gen AMD Radeon or NVidia GeForce?
Yes. I don't know how old the GP's daughter is, but restricting communication apps—especially during a pandemic—seems counterproductive. TikTok, sure, whatever; it's a time suck and doesn't really help with social skills. But socializing online really matters now, especially for adolescents.

Edit: If she's eight years old, then this seems like a more reasonable restriction. Disregard what I said previously. Eleven or twelve might be a better time to get Snapchat, especially since that's about the time that most kids get their first smartphones today anyway.
It's already a very good movie: Joe Gould's Secret [1], with Ian Holm as Gould, and Stanley Tucci (who also directed) as Joseph Mitchell. Unfortunately I don't think it's available for streaming anywhere. I watched it in theaters, and I'd love to watch it again.

I am a bit late, but I want to add my 2 cents, because I see a pattern here.

My wife had serious complications after birth, so she basically wasn't there for the first 4 months. We had help during work hours, but all the rest of the care fell on me. I woke up 4 times a night to feed our kid, took him with me almost everywhere (in one of these https://media.s-bol.com/RoDEQRlMPRYY/386x840.jpg ), sat with him when he couldn't sleep, etc.

We bonded hard. My wife reported similar feelings like those described in the other comments. It took her a few years to catch up.
Pocket won't let me save this link. Other links work fine... weird.
You don't have to "believe" in science. Believing in something means trusting something is true, in absence of evidence. That's at the base of all religions and the opposite of science.

I just trust the scientific process. Yes, the conclusions currently drawn from the evidence can be wrong. I'm not disappointed if it is. If scientists gain new insights, it just means the proces is working.
I mean, 6800 XT stock is sold out everywhere too. So if anything, AMD should have also raised prices.
While funny, the moral I perceived is "Apple whole-asses everything thanks to vast invested resources", which is unfortunately not as actionable as the Ron quote

There's an addon for Text Fragment support in Safari and Firefox: https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/link-to-text-fragment

If someone sends this link to you, it will open just fine. If you send a link to someone else there's a very high probability they use Chrome. Otherwise, you can recommend them this extension.

It's the first time I heard about this new potentially standard feature, and it's very very useful. Thank you!
Really cool. Most people wouldnt post if they were 6 for 26 but honestly this is so insightful. I was planning on doing something similar with having 4 weeks to finish 4 upcoming projects. I knew they would probably take longer than the time allotted. This is helpful feedback.
I think that's for subscriptions only?
I dont think it's ever the ideal drug for pain management. Its fast acting and short duration, not ideal for chronic pain. Those characteristics also make it more addictive. There were drugs for pain management before and nobody complained about them not being good enough.

There would not be much of a black market for it if physicians and pharma were not getting people addicted.
> The limiting factor in a North Korean artillery bombardment campaign will be the quality and training of troops and materiel.

That, combined with how quickly and effectively the US and South Korea can start firing counterbattery missions and establish air superiority to attack the Northern batteries from the air.
That is also true of automaking though. There are some parts that are just hard and can't be automated away.

The argument GP made was that someone in the EU can write correct concurrent programs for ~60k/year (and feel they are makng great money) instead of the 100k+ you need to pay someone in the US. Software jobs are even easier to offshore than car manufacturing plants.
I made the mistake of trying to install the nightly and somehow got iTerm instead of iTerm2. My bad. Thanks for the heads up.
1.) You can't just open up every driver. I say this as somebody who works on proprietary firmware and software that is basically the future of our company. We operate in a market with thin margins, our control strategies are our advantage, and divulging any info past the bare minimum concerning them would result in mass counterfeiting and ultimately the death of our company. A lot of hardware development is like this. I wish it were some other way, because I know some people would be over the moon with what it would enable, but most of the time it's just not possible.

2.) I think you misunderstand what the Pinephone is -- if my memory serves me correctly, minus the modem blob, there is no need for reverse engineering, as the documentation for the hardware is available. You're talking about sending good money after bad ideas while advocating stopping the thing that has a clear path to victory (starting from a clean slate with something that has real documentation) in favor of something else that has a negligible chance of ever happening (having source be released for drivers but not getting any documentation for it).
If this site is at the top of HN then it may be at the top of other aggregators.

If you have slow internet or a very asymmetrical link, and the site is heavy (lots of pictures or other BS), then does the server just refuse new connections when it saturates the link? I'm not sure what the behavior is.

Familiar teacher told me not to give any phone or tablet for school aged kids. I wanted to buy iPad for my son and then buy LEGO EV3. LEGO apparently does not like windows. But I’ll listen to the advice. She is in normal school in normal district, but there are enough cases of smartphone addiction. Kids are getting aggressive and need psychiatrist when the phone is being taken away. And these cases occur more and more often. So as a father I don’t want to open this can of works as long as I can. Schools should bad phones in the first place.

Safari:

- Lacking extension support
- Difficult to manage tabs compared to FF and Chrome [0]

[0] FF and Chrome allows you to select tabs the same way you select files. Click on individual tabs while holding command to select them or click on one, hold shift, and click on another tab to select all tabs in between. This makes it much easier to move groups of tabs between windows or break a group of tabs out into a new window.
I suspect most of the people effectively going "just commit tax fraud" are mostly venting as opposed to saying something they'd seriously do. The fraud aside, I think it would be practically very hard to maintain the opsec needed to avoid clueing in your co-workers as to where you actually live--especially if it's in a different climate/time zone/etc.
What are examples of books you can't even find at university libraries?

I've been in software for 20 years and have not yet felt like I needed to read anything that wasn't pretty mainstream.

I imagine one's professional reading is more academic when working on things like hardware or compilers, but most of us (for better or worse) are just working on CRUD apps in a marketing-adjacent space or maintaining a corporate Java monolith.
Looks like a good card. RT performance is mediocre, not that I mind much. Relying on L3$ doesn't appear to have affected tail latencies, but I'll look to more detailed reviews. Availability is a concern. The real launch is on the 25th when partners can release their cards. I'm sure they'll sell out quickly for 2 months.

Edit: I should say that I recommend Gamers Nexus for really detailed reviews, despite being mostly video these days. They are really serious about their methodology. They have detailed information about quality of life things like power draw, fan speed ramping, noise, noise-normalized thermals, etc. They go overboard with cold plate flatness and mounting pressure measurements, teardowns, and PCB VRM analysis for the electrical engineers/overclockers out there.
Having run something similar ~5y ago, an added benefit is that you end up with former 'students' at companies throughout the industry.

Specifically, a pattern I saw 5-10 times is:

1. Someone shows up at the meetings, about 3mo after being hired

2. After 2-3 sessions (to see if their serious) I invite them to lunch 1-on-1. I find out that they are really interested in my topic, and do it as maybe 10% of their role, so their manager suggested they check out my group

3. After 6mo, they invite /me/ to lunch to tell me their applying to transfer to join the team I'm on, which does is focused on the topic.

4. After 1wk, my manager tells me that they were rejected. Understandably, the reasons have to stay in the room.

5. After 2mo, they join an equivalent team at another company

6. After 1-3y, in ~50% of cases, they are senior on that team and check to see if I'm interested in a job.
I'd add that the other reason for using I/Q in heterodyned demodulation is for SSB (Single Side Band) to reduce out of band interferers. Otherwise both Fmix +/- Ffilt will get through. Usually, transmitters are also SSB to reduce power (unless they are baseband direct modulation).

I’m surprised there’s no mention here of heat recovery ventilators (HRV) or energy recovery ventilators (ERV) here. New buildings are increasingly designed to provide regular air exchange (fresh air replacing indoor air) while retaining thermal energy with these devices, and, in the case of ERV, retaining humidity.

A badly designed site can use a second or so of CPU time per user request (eg. scanning through the entire database because someone didn't put an index on something).

You don't have to put your tree in Ancestry and pay monthly, especially if you have hosting somewhere. Webtrees is good software. If you are associated with a university, you may have access to an Ancestry subscription for free through the library. Set up a system for digital files and naming conventions on your local machine to back up any documentation you add to an online tree. Family tree software should all operate with the GEDCOM format, which makes it really easy to move around if you are dissatisfied (although objects like photos may be harder to).

When I started in high school 20 years ago, it was just a tree of everyone I knew I was related to. Then you get back far enough and have to ask people for help. My grandmother remembered dozens of names and dates, which got me further. Ancestry and similar free websites (findagrave.com) can fill in a lot. Newspapers.com helped me find a ton of obituaries and gossip column entries, which filled in even more.

It's only recently that I got into thinking about the "History" going on around my ancestors when they were alive, and that's been driving my interest for the last year. Person A lived in this place in the 1890s--what was going on there, and how were global events affecting them? Newspapers.com or another archive were very useful for this as well.

Although Ancestry and Newspapers.com are subscription, even one month lets you dig into and download as much as you want, so if money is tighter you can sign up for a single month and dedicate a lot of time to getting as much raw material as possible.

Why not start with downloading the lightweight ones, and progressively load more?

I.e. first download what this text-based browser would download, display it, and then (optionally) fetch the rest.
OT: That hackmd thing looks quite nice.
That's interesting. Does anyone have a good journal reference for the following assertion made in the piece? "A physiological sigh, two or three times, is the fastest way that we are aware of to bring the level of autonomic arousal back down to baseline." I would like to know what the evidence is for that. The interviewee made it sound like reinflating alveoli and offloading carbon dioxide necessarily leads to a decrease in autonomic arousal, but I don't see why that would necessarily be the case. If the mechanism is instead related to the movement of the diaphragm, as is hinted at later in the piece, I would be interested in seeing strong evidence for that, too.

Interesting that they're still using the old 150W power supply when Anandtech measured the entire system's maximum power draw at 37W IIRC. It makes this first generation of ARM Macs feel kind of lazily cobbled together. It'll be interesting to see future designs where the M1 wasn't just retrofitted but is a first class citizen.
Parents’ estimation of their child’s mental and creative acuity is famously reliable.
I doubt it. Losing a military asset means the US will start throwing civilian assets into the pot and gambling with MAD? The civilian population will revolt when they realize that the Navy wants to double down with NY and SF because they're throwing a tantrum over losing Nimitz.

In the same way, the US should keep strikes on Chinese military facilities on the table. But escalation is much likelier because those facilities are located in civilian areas and near nuclear missile sites. That's a perfect analogue of the strategic asymmetry. China and it's civilian population actually lives in the area. The US is just visiting with military assets, and losing a civilian is a tragedy but losing a member of the military is the job they signed up for.

> a company that is competing like hell

The problem is when by "competing like hell", you compete so hard that you suppress your competition. The issue that anti-competition laws seek to redress is the suppression of other competition.
> let’s not pretend this is the path to a successful web business.

I disagree. There is no point in setting up legal and marketing and advertising if the business is not functional. This is a perfectly suitable path to a successful web business. Obviously he would need to expand on those areas you mentioned if he wanted to make one of these his career but this is the first step on that path.

There is a counterpart to white hat hacking.... Not that I would ever advocate for anything illegal.

Yeah and those numbers seem in line with what others have reported in HN meta threads on the topic, and at least an n of 1 personal experience. I totally get it when it’s a game or some other server intensive thing. Guess caching is an afterthought for a lot of smaller sites.
