Kodi is great. But each time I have upgraded it some things have improved and somethings have stopped working. Currently the guide doesn't show which items are being recorded and there doesn't seem to be any way to stop series record. But I am too scared to upgrade in case it breaks everything!
Somewhat often.

The intellectual superiority bullshit flying around this site all the time is usually it. And I love having this community to participate in, don’t get me wrong, but you have to admit it’s ridiculous sometimes.

In these cases I don’t feel smart enough, well traveled enough, like my voice matters, the whole nine yards. I’ve worked with people who do this too. It sucks to know someone just doesn’t trust you to know what you’re doing.

I dunno, there are tons of feelings behind that closing of the tab instead of submitting the comment haha
Many people have Android TV on their TVs, or boxes like Nvidia Shield.

While a Raspberry Pi is a pretty simple way to get Linux/Kodi on the TV, getting it to integrate well is a whole other story. (Remotes, CEC, other services like Netflix, etc.)

I'm your typical Linux hacker of 20 years, but even I switched from Raspberry Pi to Nvidia Shield a couple years ago because the pain of using and maintaining it is so much lower for an interface that should be as simple as "pick and play".
Is your stance on non-English books something that could be changed if you had volunteers with sufficient expertise, or do you think that the requirements would be so different that a similar (forked) website would be best?
I'd pay for a service that would do this,

1. Find my digital footprints on social media

2. Compare that to my desired level of public activity, e.g., do not share photos of me

3. Provide tools to delete, scrub, send takedowns, etc.
Well, just me finding it a joy to work with? All the dh helpers that basically does the hard work, I just need to update one or two things in control file and that is it.

I have packages closure, Java, python, php, c and very complex piece of software with weird version formats and so far Debian packages cover all those cases for me.

I find that is pretty easy to complain about things we don't know, or rant when frustrated, but after investing a bit o time to learn and understand how it works pays off.
Wanted to add that the video in the article is great, you can see some of the people in the article (outside of prison) and get a sense of them and hope for how D&D forges new connections. This article was also part of a series [0] that looks interesting.

The argument is simple really. By intentionally dropping the hashrate, you reduce the incentive to buy the GPUs for mining. This means that when or if the mining craze stops akin to 2018, there would be plenty of second hand 3xxx series cards to go around, which would only hurt NVDA's pocket. Recall that during the previous craze, NVDA was stuck with a huge inventory of GPUs after the craze ended, inventory that can not be recycled. IIRC they announced that they have more GPUs from 1xxx series available, iirc 1050tis.

NVDA's stance is that miners are the reason for scarce GPUs, but it is not. There has been scarcity since the 3xxx series was announced, similarly for AMD. The reality is that there is simply not enough silicon being produced; with AAPL hogging TSM's 5nm for a year, AMD and NVDA competing for 7nm wafers for AMD's CPUs, GPUs, and the console's SOCs and for NVDA's GPUs, and soon to be joined by INTC.

By cutting 3xxx production for gaming to accommodate crypto they ensure that there won't be second hand gpus flooding the market and eating their profits once the craze is over. Why is that? because it will not be as cost effective to miners to buy 3060s instead of the dedicated chips because of lower performance per watt. Once the craze is over, the miners won't be able to liquidate their dedicated cards, thus, the demand for GPUs for gaming remains intact, thus, they will be able to sell their 3xxx series and 4xxx series without getting screwed over by second hands and they will not be stuck with a huge inventory as was the case in 2018.

Edit:

Infact, the second hand 3060s would outcompete anything NVDA could offer in 1080p and 1440p gaming and anything NVDA could release with their 4xxx cards. In addition, there isn't enough incentive to even go beyond 1080p or 1440p for gaming. Which is why you will see NVDA pushing how great 4k and even 8k gaming is with their recent publicity stunt for 8k gaming on a 3090.
Oh yeah! I love listening to music on cassette and vinyl. Using good gear is all part of the experience.

Edit: And tactile has mental connotations. "A little bit" on a physical dial is a target one can feel and compare in ways that are immediate, thought is action ways.
I'd be interested in how the other systems work with mental health issues.

That link says that US Veterans get proper healthcare -- free at the point of use, paid for by the tax payer. Is that right? Last I heard it was controversial (in America) to give healthcare to 9/11 responders.
Unfortunately there's no support for Samsung tizen TVs which is keeping me on plex
I'll put aside your rudeness (I assume you think this is a status contest, or maybe you've just misunderstood my intentions) and try to explain again.

Solar being cheaper than nuclear makes it a foregone conclusion for daytime electricity supply.

However the direct comparison you were making in the first paragraph of your original post between nuclear price and solar price is nonsensical because they're not in direct competition with each other. Nuclear satisfies a slightly different use case to solar.

Nuclear instead is in direct competition with sources that are capable of providing base load power such as gas and solar+storage. The only meaningful price comparison is between nuclear and these other sources, since we need to decide if the stack is going to be solar+storage, solar+nuclear, etc.

Comparing solar prices directly to nuclear prices without considering the whole stack is just a meaningless comparison.
That’s an obscene example of government interference with family and human life. This is an extreme example but there are many more misery inducing circumstances that are by products of a single payer system wedded to government. One of the most pervasive is a general rationing of care with long delays before procedures or even basic diagnostic tests but there are others like having to be assigned a doctor or having little to no choice of hospitals or clinics. The modern world needs a system that provides options for everyone and there must be a way to structure healthcare so that those who can’t afford it still receive it while those who can are able to buy the service they want. Everyone should receive the best care but you have to allow the market to find the best solutions do everyone can benefit from them. It’s just like taxing the rich if you want to look at it that way, they shell out gobs of money to create a demand for top notch doctors and facilities and the government then legislates that those resources must also provide care for everyone in exchange for access to something only the government can provide like tax breaks etc.
Is this not a perfect example of our endless thirst for dopamine? During ads what's the first thing we do - grab our phones to fill that ad time with dopamine.

A 5 minute ad could actually provide some respite from that dopamine hit by allowing you to get up and move around, make a tea and grab a bit of fresh air.
You mean like having to login to Facebook to use Oculus hardware?

Ah, you’re a miner? You’re worried about their ability to make money?

How, exactly?
> The USA fucked up somewhere along the way and taxed the poor (those <1million a year) and this is why you are posting what you are posting. More taxes are ok if they are on the rich

Speak for yourself! I prefer not to be taxed, so I'd rather have the poor taxed than the rich.
I don't see the problem here. You need to have serial access to the counter. You could use a single-threaded webserver but there is a lot more to that request than actually incrementing the counter. It still makes sense in most cases to use a threaded webserver and lock on incrementing the counter. (Especially if you are using a concurrent hashtable so that you can increment multiple counters in parallel)
ugh, I suppose that's why the android TV (shield TV) version feels so unpolished?
If your point was something other than “complains about air pollution, but still breathes the air”, it went right over my head.
That thread is fascinating.

It's rare to read a corporate story where a company traps itself with technical choices so thoroughly, and still manages to pull through in the end. Much respect for the Uber engineers.
The obvious conclusion is that the lockdown failed. At the beginning of the pandemic, epidemiologists that had studied the 1918 flu said we should focus on protecting the vulnerable and let the disease progress normally otherwise (because racing it with a vaccine was futile).

I wonder if the politicians and scientists that inflicted lockdown on us will have the guts to admit their mistake.

There will be more pandemics in the future. We should never have a lockdown like this again.
Maybe. But. This token cannot be mined, and actual supply is limited. It's only intended as a 1 to 1 exchange for upcoming Holo Fuel, which can only be created through more demand for Holo's P2P app ecosystem. In other words, token value has to translate into real life demand for an actual product, which makes the actual frenzy very interesting.
This is also why people still enjoy CRT displays and paintings, other real colors. Wider color spaces are more interesting.
Because of the historical high cyclically-adjusted price to earnings ratio (CAPE) of the US market [1]. I agree that historically low interest rates counter part of this argument, but overall, I still think there will be a reversion to the mean. Nobody knows if it'll be a sharp correction, or if prices will stagnate until earnings catch up.

Maybe I shouldn't have said risky. You're right that if retirement is a while away, you can continue not timing the market and you'll be okay. However, if you want to be more aggressive, it might be smart to sell some of the gains you've made in the US market thus far and allocate more to emerging market ETFs with more upside.

Using the CAPE ratio to project estimated returns has shown to be fairly accurate from 1995 to now [2]. There's no guarantee it'll continue to be true, but I think there's more upside to international equities for the next decade right now.

Why compare two sovereign nations with vastly different safety regulations?
The details of the coup aren't understood or cared about that deeply by American discourse. But the idea that it's trivial and salutary to identify and ban "bad" or "dangerous" speech is decisively left-coded right now, in exactly the way similar impulses were right-coded during periods of rightwing political dominance (immediately post-9/11, parts of the Cold War, etc)
Using it on i3 I don't see that it "breaks" anything. A new floating window is opened which can be moved around.

On i3 it looks like this add-on essentially automates opening the tab in a new window, and floating it. Which I think has some value.
Fancy JavaScript has nothing to do with serving static content. JavaScript itself is (or should be) static content anyway.

If you're talking about using JS to load content on page load, for whatever reason, that async content can also be static. For example some sites use the URL fragment (hash parameter) to load content, but the server does not receive this:

The fragment identifier functions differently to the rest of the URI: its processing is exclusively client-sided with no participation from the web server - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URI_fragment
What OS do you use? In Linux, there is a built in "always-on-top" feature, but on Windows there is not.

Also, don't forget you have Smart Positioning :) That feature is pretty powerful IMO.
There’s privacy duck and delete me, but they’re mostly focused on the scammier public data collection sites where it’s harder to remove your information.
"According to a post here on HN a couple of days ago, ERCOT has more stringent regulations on winterization than the Federal regulatory body requires, so basically everything you just said is bullshit"

This a lie. The regulations are voluntary.

"ERCOT is a government regulated group, answerable to the Legislature. It's not meaningfully different from the rest of the country."

Except this is also a lie as Ercot as no power to enforce any of its regulations which is not the way utilities run in the rest of the country.

"People just assume Texas is a completely unregulated market because of the reputation given to us by Hollywood. Unsurprisingly, media created in a region that disdains us does not represent us truthfully or fairly."

This is a typical attempt to create a state of victimhood in order shift focus away from the obvious failure of a Republican controlled state onto meaningless culture wars.

"I grew up in Appalachia so I'm used to this treatment by the media and by people I interact with as a professional software engineer, including on this board, about where I came from and where I chose to make my home."

Irrelevant to the topic at hand. Your personal experiences in this matter have nothing to do with the failures in the Texas energy grid. You are doubling down on perceived victimhood in lieu of an actual argument.

"We know you hate us. It's the main message we receive every time we turn on the TV or any mainstream silicon valley website, including this one, again. That's why I post with a throwaway name. I don't expect people who hate us to represent us fairly."

And this was the goal of the comment, specifically overriding any consideration of criticism by attacking the motives of the critic. This is as simple as it is disingenuous.
I run it on an Android TV. I'm thinking of plugging small device running Linux though, like a raspberry pi because my tv (a sony from 2015) is not maintained anymore as the last update introduced a huge amount of bugs (the tv can't play a lot of h264 videos, h263 videos doesn't work at all).
Ah! Good old Siag. Has anyone used it?
Agree on the "evil" part (or maybe "irritating"), but if I recall correctly from a few years ago, Nvidia has done this before with full access to the encoder only being available in the Quadro line.

Germany and Ireland are the same as the UK

Denmark appears to be slightly higher but Denmark is also more expensive than the UK.

Overall far from the alleged big difference.
The problem is that fixed part of most plans’ pricing make the cost prohibitive, not the pay-as-you-go component (eg the cost of a sim and phone number).

We were able to use a LoRa-like layer to forward to a base station that then uses a VoIP provider to do the brunt of the communication work.
That explains why there's no actual support for AndroidTV services and background refresh.

Depending on my mood it can vary from about 1 in 6 comments up to 4 or 5 out of 6 comments that are deleted before I hit the submit button for various reasons.

When it gets up that high I take it as a very good signal that I need to log off and step away until my mood improves enough for me to appear somewhat human.

Even with the ones that do make it through I will read and re-read what I have written to see if there are better ways to phrase things in a neutral tone before hitting submit. I also try to refrain from posting on HN when my blood alcohol level is above legal driving limits.

I don’t always succeed and sometimes a snarky or judgemental comment will slip through the internal safety net but I certainly try my best to avoid doing so.

Furthermore I usually only comment on ‘On Topic’ posts and eschew any ‘hot button’ comment threads since the down-votes tend to fly in the Reddit fashion rather than as per HN upvote/downvote guidelines on those.
It's not a problem that comes up a lot
It's pretty scary that without even reading the article we already know which piece of software was responsible - yet somehow some brightspark thought it was a great idea to:

1) have the computer running this stuff on a network which faces the internet
2) install teamviewer on it

I mean.. what did they expect?
I agree - this would be a great addition. I can't justify buying a Mac for this unfortunately.

FIDO has a device attestation https://developers.yubico.com/U2F/Attestation_and_Metadata/
But their scheme indeed looks like flawed.

There is a way to make it correct, though. Device manufacturer also has to inject its own root private key into the device. So the device will use additional, third signature on behalf of manufacturer.
Another relevant point is that England has changed its organ donation policy to opt-out [1], with Scotland to follow next month. Wales is 'deemed consent', which doesn't sound too different to opt-out. Northern Ireland is opt-in.

you're setting up and attacking a strawman. didn't say all regs are bad. obviously you have to identify which regulations are good and which are not, or those no longer necessary, and find a balance so you don't quash innovation. like the example I gave with Bill Gates nuclear project.
People who dox are doing to do it anyway. This tool will make it really easy for people to find holes in their own (or their organizations) presence.
The wing is an exceptionally strong component of the aircraft. It’s usually the freak accidents where you hear of a fuel tank being ruptured or control or hydraulic lines being cut. In all of these accidents I bet there is wing damage but the plane is able to continue as usual

It seems like most other hearts were removed live after brain stem death. My take is that in this process, hearts that had stopped beating in a donor due to death from other causes were revived after removal.
I keep remembering that episode from The Outer Limits (the 90s series). I think the title was "The stream". It was set in the future, where everybody had an implant that they could use to access 'the stream' to get access to all the world's knowledge and information. (I.e. the internet, but back then even dialup internet was an uncommon thing for most people to have.)

The story was that there was a single guy who could not have the implant and he was, of course, and outcast. And then there was a virus that started to spread through the stream and people started to show strange symptoms. Well, maybe not that strange: they started to consume more and more information. First the infected just started to look up and quote seemingly irrelevant pieces of information. You know, like the things you'd see on Quora (or during a random trip to Wikipedia) and then they would spend more and more time fetching more knowledge and have more and more information hunger.

I'd say it's not unlike what we see around ourselves the past few years.
> Even the broke bands (which is most of them) want people to pay them for their work.

Broke bands aren't who are paying legislators for ever-racheting copyright laws - each of which comes at the public's expense and further betrays the bargain between copyright holders and the public.

and - Corruption fueled copyright laws tend to favor powerful, wealthy gatekeepers (by design). For everyone else there are far better methodologies to making a living. https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120210/02273417726/how-b...
It's never bigger places like Amazon, I've only had it happen on little shops like websites that sell Indie games. I don't remember which ones it's happened on, but it's happened a few times. I shouldn't have said "many," it's just that it's quite irritating when it happens.
If you don't get that much value out of it, you definitely shouldn't convert over. There's no need to make a one-time donation; you already did that ten years ago :-)
This is already happening. I have friends who would, in other circumstances, be building gaming PCs right now, so we could play games together, but–

It's simply not possible.
That would be a great rationalization for a narcissist to use while wreaking havok on other people's lives with no remorse.
The unit was full of Academic researchers, who regularly published papers and collaborated with others on papers; the whole kerfuffle started with Google's uncharacteristic request to put a lid on Dr. Timnit Gebru's paper. To me, that doesn't sound like a team that expects, or is expected to just work quietly on internal - likely confidential - projects.

I suspect Google leadership were on board, and wasn't even aware of the misalignment until Dr. Gebru declined to pull a paper that raised questions on a crown-jewels-level, Jeff-Dean-supported AI model that materially impacts Google's finances (and likely some leaders' bonuses too).

Now that Google leadership is aware of the misalignment, I think its actions show the direction they are taking going forward.
I love this comment. It captures the current political moment like lightning in a bottle, dominated by simpletons who think every action exists in its own sandboxed parallel universe and can be judged without reference to weakening norms or downstream effects in a dynamic system. Truly a work of art.
There is always a risk that the grafted organ may fail or be rejected or even bring new problems with it (e.g. smokers can donate lungs). But the recipients are typically gravely ill, and an imperfect donor organ may provide longer or higher quality life than doing nothing.

Sone transplantees go on to live full lives for many decades. Others might need a retransplant.

But while complications may occur, the fact transplantation works at all is a minor miracle that we should celebrate.

Some patients die on the waiting list. If you haven’t already, please register to donate your organs. It costs you nothing.

I don't know about that. Plenty of people are using Intel non-F CPUs which have iGPUs.

Honestly, the worrying part is that NVIDIA may block this. If I remember right, they did something similar back in 2017 with the P106 mining cards (GTX 1060 equivalent) when people bought them for cheap.
Thank you for the detailed explanation. Just feels surreal how people are being sorted into groups like some animals based on their looks and ancestry in a first world country.
