I have a Asus C213. I think C214 is the current version.

I really love the hardware. It is indeed rugged and water resistant, it had to endure much on my travels, fell down a lot or things on it. Moisture, sand, heat, ice and snow - and is also made for maintaineance, I could quite easily replace the touchscreen, the only thing that broke, which was really my fault for stepping on it (but getting the replacement part, I had to order from china)

And how much coding I get out if it, well depends on the situation. If there is strong sun all the time, then forever. Also with just 1 panel and batterie.

The batterie on its own last 10+ hours (now after 4 years of intense use obviously not anymore)

Meaning if you code during the day, your power bank gets charged in the meantime. Can get charged full from empty in the right conditions in some hours and one power bank gives me around 1.5 laptop, charges. More power than you need.

Meaning just with 1 extra batterie I get 25 hs of coding. Meaning on short trips of limited time and unstable sun, I just bring a second power bank and have 40 h of work without needing to recharge.

But since the sun does not shine all the time and I spend weeks and at times, months off the grid, I upgraded to 2 panels and 3 batteries to really not care about power anymore.

Before I learned to be energy efficient.
Which also lead to interesting results, like I only opened up the lid, if I really knew what to do.
So intense short burst of coding and then stop and thinking about the next step, or the current problem, that showed up.
It is efficient and also healthy, giving your eyes only limited screen exposure with lots of rest, but still getting stuff done.

edit: about device, before that one I had a cheap windows convertible. For 200 € you get already 10+h of work, lightweight and USB charging. But I really can't stand windows. And stock linux drivers are too buggy in that segment.
When I open up my chromebook, it is immediately awake and I can resume exactly where I closed it.
On my bigger powered manjaro laptop, I have to wait at least 10 seconds, which disturbs my flow.
They really need to be explicit about why they did this. Twitter and Facebook have been right about banning DJT and the "Stop The Steal" conspiracists, but they've also spent social capital by doing it, and their reserves are very, very low.

(I think Ron Paul is a problematic character and not at all the idealist he's portrayed as by his fervid followers, but that doesn't matter here in the least).
So we've already moved on to just closing off voices we don't like the sound of? Or did he actually do something Trump-like?
Big Tech was already largely banned from market entry in China before the current administration.
You are kind of proving his point: you are narrowing the window of acceptable opinion not to merely exclude "kill all X" but to also forbid stances like "Big Tech helps advance US gov interests overseas“.

How can one not see the Orweillian direction this all seems to be taking?
You're right about the gamma of course, if you're not near the strike you're not near the interesting area of the curve.

As for "appraised" that's an invention of mine to explain the difference between actual movement and guessed movement. When the market is moving up and down you will realize some amount of PnL regardless of what you paid for it. But you have to pay something for it, and that's the appraisal of the market for whatever period in the future your option covers. It's like pricing a swap, that floating leg will be some number that you'll receive, but you pay some guess about what it's going to be over the period. The thing about that is you probably have more certainty in the near term than the long term, and there's a term structure coming out of that.

About quoting in vol terms, I found people mostly do that in FX and fixed income. In equities it seemed to be prices. There's calculators for everything anyway, so you can easily swap between them.
The Easiest Way to Track Data Science Experiments with MLRun
Sigh, these always read like such PR department unclear jargony press releases.

"...The 5G Challenge would leverage the innovative capabilities of the software development and telecommunications technology communities to enable more open implementations of 5G systems, including end-user equipment, the radio access network, and the core network, with a focus on the 5G protocol stack software. "

How about:

"We want to run a game with a big reward. A game that gets people to come up with the most innovative, clever, secure, resilient ways to use 5G for our military that we haven't seen before.

Do you have ideas for how 5G can be implemented in open hardware or software? Do you have ideas for how we can structure a game and its reward to achieve something like that?

Let us know if you have ideas, and you may be able to be a part of something big."
It was almost definitely HP Dynamo. (Edit: if you combine ideas from HP Dynamo, SafeTSA JIT-optimized bytecode, and IBM's AS/400's TIMI/Technology Independent Machine Interface, you get a better version of the current Android Run Time for bytecode-distributed apps that compile ahead of time to native code and self-optimize at runtime based on low-overhead profiling.)

The really nice thing about Dynamo was that it was a relatively simple trace-based JIT compiler from native code to native code (plus a native code interpreter for non-hotspots). This meant that it would automatically inline hotspots across DLLs and through C++ virtual method dispatches (with appropriate guards to jump back to interpreter mode if the virtual method implementation didn't match or the PLT entry got modified). They didn't have to do any special-casing of the interpreter to handle virtual method calls or cross-DLL calls, it's just a natural consequence of a trace-based JIT from native code to native code.

The only downsides of something like Dynamo are (1) a bit of complexity and space usage (2) some startup overhead due to starting in interpretive mode and (3) if your program is abnormal in not having a roughly Zipf distribution of CPU usage, the overhead is going to be higher.

Ever since I read about Michael Franz et al.'s SafeTSA SSA-based JVM bytecode that more quickly generated higher-performing native code, I've had a long-term back-burner idea to write a C compiler that generates native code in a particular way (functions are all compiled to arrays of pointers to strait-line extended basic blocks) that makes tracing easier, and also storing a SafeTSA-like SSA bytecode along with the native code. That way, a Dynamo-like runtime wouldn't use an interpreter, and when it came to generate an optimized trace, it could skip the first step of decompiling native code to an SSA form. (Also, the SSA would be a bit cleaner as input for an optimizer, as the compilation-decompilation round-trip tends to make the SSA a bit harder to optimize, as shown by Franz's modification of Pizza/JikesRVM to run both SafeTSA and JVM bytecode.) Once you have your trace, you don't need on-stack replacement to get code in a tight loop to go into the optimized trace, you just swap one pointer to native code in the function's array of basic blocks. (All basic blocks are strait-line code, so the only way to loop is to jump back to the start of the same basic block via the array of basic block pointers.)

The background for HP Dynamo is that during the Unix wars, there were a bunch of RISC system vendors vying for both the high-end workstation and server markets. Sun had SPARC, SGI had MIPS, DEC had Alpha AXP (and earlier, some MIPS DECStations) and HP had PA-RISC. The HP Dynamo research project wanted to show that emulation via dynamic recompilation could be fast, so to get an apples-to-apples comparison for emulation overhead, they wrote a PA-RISC emulator for PA-RISC.
You are thinking of something similar to the level of today's neuroscience and brain imaging, where indeed we can only establish correlations.

But I am talking about a much more in-depth understanding of the working of the brain, similar to the level of understanding we have of a microprocessor all the way from transistors to the algorithms running on it. If we could understand human thought at a similar level, we MIGHT find out that "the feeling of red" is not fundamentally different than "the understanding that 1 + 1 = 2", and we could come up with quantifications of it in different ways, from the physical representation in the brain to a certain "bit pattern" in the abstract model of the human brain computer.

Note that the argument for qualia is not one that proves the existence of qualia - it is essentially only a definition. We have no reason to believe that the thing which the term qualia describes actually exists in the world, beyond our own personal experience, which is circular in a way. The argument goes "I feel like this thing I'm experiencing is a qualia, therefore I assume that things similar to me also have qualia", which sounds logical enough. But then, "things similar to me" is actually defined in such a way that it basically assumes qualia exist, since an AGI whose internal state we could probe precisely enough to prove that qualia do not exist for it is then assumed to be outside of "things similar to me".
No, people just put their kids on leashes in public. It’s... well, wild but the opposite.
Unless it has a microphone itself, that's difficult, because the actual microphone is depowered.
There's a cool anecdote about NZD options where the dude exercised out of the money options to force the market to buy up some huge proportion of NZDs in existence. Let me see if I can think of the details.
I think #4 on Zoom, or more generally speaking Remote work tools will definitely take off.
Resentment, perhaps, but the original claim I'm countering was something else. The goalposts seem to be moving.
Here is the text from the tweet that I had previously posted. Mayor Bowser goes on to say in her letter that MPD and their partners are well prepared for the event and didn't need further assistance.

I'm not certain the context of why she begins her statement "To be clear". I looked at her previous tweets from the day and day before and this matter wasn't specifically addressed. The only thing I could think of is that a federal law enforcement authority wanted to get involved and she didn't feel the need?

https://twitter.com/MayorBowser/status/1346530358674792466

"To be clear, the District of Columbia is not requesting other federal law enforcement personnel and discourages any additional deployment without immediate notification to, and consultation with, MPD if such plans are underway."
> Like how could you possibly ensure that for every possible search, the "correct" results appear first?

You align the incentives by breaking up Google. They have no business promoting their other revenue streams in their own search results.
Is there a Facebook press release or something? Seems baffling
No, at my last work, it was such a pain even doing a minimal change: codebase without unit tests, team lead doing gatekeeping and keeping it old school (some JavaEE 5) and with old servers (there are a lot of CVEs in dependencies and in the servlet server we were using (could not update to latest, since the Java version being used is ancient as well).

A pure "throw away" would be much cheaper

> If client uses deterministic salt, then whatever you send over the wire is equivalent to password and constant for every authentication. If server sends random challenge which is then hashed by client together with something derived from users password then whatever value that is stored on server in order to check validity of the response is sufficient to fake the response (and also essentially equivalent to plaintext password as it has to be derived from it in some deterministic manner independent of the random salt/challenge)

You seem to misunderstand the purpose of what I am proposing. I am not proposing this scheme as an alternative to what's proposed in the blogpost.

I am proposing this procedure as an extra protection step for password reuse. If you were to run an exploit on the server that reads its memory contents, you may find a user "Admin" that uses the password "FavoriteFood-DateOfBirth".

If you sent the original version of that password, then such an attacker will find real-world information about you. That information can be used to exploit your identity on other websites. If the password is hashed, then that information doesn't get leaked. Sure, you can fake your authentication to this server, but you have not gained real-world information about your target.

Without salt, the attacker can fake the authentication on every service where that password gets reused. But with salt, every server sees a completely different password on their end. Essentially, your hashed password with salt has become your new password in the server's eyes.

> : for security features like this to be truly secure the user has to be sure that he is interacting with the native browser/OS UI and not with something that can be intercepted by JS

Yes, you were one step further than me on this front. I do agree that communicating this to the user is non-trivial.
We've identified these concepts, we can quantify them, we can study them, we can use them.

I would take that as an indication that we do comprehend them, if we don't then it doesn't seem to matter.
This is nice! It would be much more captivating if the canvas was full window size.
Minimalistic, distraction-free typing speed test
It's surprising to see this expressed here without a rebuttal. The reaction to 9/11, especially the creation of the TSA, is one of the worst things that have happened in my lifetime. Most people I know generally agree.

Not only is it not effective, but it's very expensive and causes lots of violations of personal rights.
True. I would rephrase option 2 as "cache and/or replicate your query results somewhere".
Maybe there is no causality, but quality is definitely declining, and the company focus is shifting from making enthusiast hardware to extracting profit at all costs. The fiasco with the UDM firmware, releasing more incompatible PoE products (I think they use every possible variation of the standard now), passive/active, 24v/48v). And discontinuing stand alone video software just to force everyone on new hardware?

Almost forgot, but just last month my wife started complaining about the WiFi, turned out the latest firmware that was pushed to my UAP's is horrible. You have to turn off auto update and check reddit before upgrading firmware, what a joke!
This is highly unusual from a technology perspective. Cellular communications are distinctly and deliberately not part of DOD missions outside the US because those transmissions are easily intercepted and not encrypted. Any use of international cell phones by DOD personnel is purely a matter of urgency and convenience severely limited in what they can be used for.
The mathematicians have a saying: the shortest path between two facts about real numbers often passes through the complex plane.
IIRC Apple hardwires camera LED to enable pin for some time now. You can't even disable the LED even if you tamper with the camera firmware.

Old Logitech Pro 9000 is the exact opposite. You can control the LED independently of the camera state.
To clarify... I'm not proposing to jam the signal, just cancel it out (in the receive channel) so we can listen without the annoyance.

With SDR gear, it should be possible to null out most, if not all of the signal, once the modulation format is known.
I guess you're more waiting for the XSG-Pro, which was announced at least a year ago but hasn't materialized yet. I'm guessing that the UDM and UDM-Pro are meeting the needs for most customers, although obviously they're not the right fit for everyone.
That's a kinda bleak outlook for all of humanity just over some routine Game of Thrones shuffling of Disney execs. Are you doing okay, man?
I have a Mikrotik Audience I can wholeheartedly recommend. The performance is great, it had a great price and doesn’t look half bad. The UI is very much “pro” in the sense that you get all the options you might ever want to play with which for 90% of the time is just too much.

The wiki is good and the community is really friendly. If you have networking experience or want to something to tinker with it’s a nice deal. If you want something you can set and forget I’d look elsewhere though as the UI is not friendly at all.
> have been right about banning DJT

In what way have they been right? What has he written that is against their policies, or against a sane policy? Like I legitimately want to hear, what adequate reasons to you think they had to ban him? I haven't been able to find any, at all.

Or is your definition of "right" just referring to the fact that it's their private platform and they can ban whoever they want based on their own political views?
Google is an advertisement company. They are not giving the user they want, but whatever someone pays them to make the user think he wants. And that's being charitable to Google, as there were leaked internal memos from Google essentially saying that they know that censorship doesn't work, but they will try to do it anyway, "for the greater good" I suppose.

I don't know exactly what they did to their search engine, but whatever they did, it's an absolute travesty. It used to be that if you searched for something long enough, you would eventually find it, no matter how obscure the thing you were looking for was. Now, it's almost impossible to catch them red-handed and prove anything, as archiving millions of Google webpages is really not an option, but I'm convinced that they are for example removing results of old news stories. I thought I might be going crazy, but no, other people had noticed how garbage Google has become too, including those who I know privately and don't get political at all.
Not a fan of Ron Paul but this doesn't sit right. It doesn't appear that he has advocated violence or insurgency.

I wouldn't have a problem with legislation requiring disclosure of specific reasons for locking users out of their accounts, once a social media company, payment provider, or other online service provider reaches a certain size. Of course, under libertarian principles, Ron Paul would object to such a law, but that's where we are nowadays. Lots of ideological chickens coming home to roost.

Thanks for the HEADS-UP, really hope this project future is less sloppy than it's lunch on HN.
Give AVM and their Fritz!box products a go.
I think some of their seemingly wackier stuff makes marginally more sense when you think of them trying to outfit their WISP customers - having solar to power stuff on your rohn tower, manage it all from one pane of glass, that kind of thing. They had a whole line of managed power products (since abandoned) for several years aimed at this crowd.
They're not without their share of critical hardware bugs too, e.g. CVE-2020-4788

Thanks for the info!

Separate 5G and 2.4G SSIDs are no issue in my experience-- it's multiple SSIDs on one phy where Atheros goes wrong.

I really want WiFi6 gear... but given that there's no real OpenWRT support yet, and how long it's taken 802.11ac to mature in OpenWRT (it arguably hasn't yet), it's kind of discouraging.
You'll put it in a box and give it energy in return for busy work e.g. computing digits of pi. Just enough energy to do it's work, no more, so it can't afford to figure out how to get out of the box.
I think there's a narrative being set up with Rokus Basslik and all that stuff that AI will do very bad stuff and it's nobody's fault. It's actually going to be somebody's fault, but the plausible deniability is too tempting of a tool to not build this narrative.

Look at Rumble suing Google over their search rankings recently. Google just shirks their shoulders and says it's the algorithm and even they can't explain why it does things. Anyone remember the "controversial twiddler?[1]"

At the same time, I wish people didn't jump to conclusions just yet. Yes, it could possibly be FB gone wild and starting weird blanket banning. It could be a mistake. It could be an organised group mass-reporting the account to make it banned and prove a point. (organised mass-reporting is relatively common) There's so many options.

I suspect and hope this will be reverted very quickly.
Depending on who you ask, 1-4% of our population is a psychopath.
> So it's going to be interesting to see how they attempt to pivot now that shareholders expect it to be the future of the company, whereas internally its literally a ghost town built by the lowest bid contractor.

I think it's pretty clear from their last shareholder news release. 18,000 Star Wars expanded universe spin off series & movie trilogies, coming right up! Not that I'm really complaining :o)

Exactly. It's so unbelievable that people don't realize that the USA has been a fascist police state since the days of slave patrols allying with banks and sheriffs, just like today's police allying with chambers of commerce and police unions. By focusing so much on which party the fascists belong to, and ignoring the bigger pattern of corporate money flowing into a multitude of different politicians, we're missing out on structural improvements that could actually make a difference in how free the typical person gets to be. It seems like everybody is thinking that things have changed when they are still the same. Disappointing!
In this case specifically, the market can work. All informed ops people know GoDaddy is trash; this is just a little more evidence for the pile.

There are lots of other options so just forget about them and move on.
I'm pro-UBI experiments, FWIW... But...

> The hard one is jobs, it seems like acceptance that jobs aren't coming back might be the only solution.

Is UBI some sort of admission then that people just will not have jobs that pay a living wage?
> They really need to be explicit about why they did this

But do they? Because you feel like it? Or because they have some real obligation?
That might be the case, but it was just another way of saying that causing false positives on HIV tests is a huge issue for a vaccine. It should absolutely be prevented if possible, or at the very least adresssed somehow.
If this riles you up so hard, wait till you hear about this good old invention of mankind called war, or its sibling genocide. The only problem with your narrative of vile men with this one would be that animals sometimes do it too, without much care given.
The market is not as efficient as you think. There is a lot of money to be made in options, but no one wants to give you free alpha. The market like any other system can be reversed engineered. I'll give you a hint, learn how the VIX is calculated.

Also if you believe just buying the S&P 500 is going to be most profitable, then why not buy deep ITM calls on SPY. You'd at least 2x your exposure at the same cost.
It seems the platforms have become an extension of the democratic party. Seems very short sighted to me. Maybe they are being strong armed by their overwhelmingly democratic employees.
