This feels like some slight of hand targeting the current political and legal efforts looking into Google.

For example, if they aren't collecting information on you than how do they have enough information to create cohorts? Is it that they are deeming information processed on your local computer running their software something that isn't them collecting? This seems like a form of misdirection.

Without knowing the technical details (which one never knows with Google), it leave me the impression that they have moved some of their categorization software client side (Chrome, web workers, etc) and are saying that they aren't collecting the data in that case.

Is it Google using remote devices as edge devices to do a bunch of work they'd been doing server side?
Not all multiplication is commutative, e.g. matrices.
Is there enough selective pressure to keep human-style intelligence in the gene pool for another billion years? Look at the abundance of species on Earth, and only one species has a space program. Is there enough selective pressure for other species to eventually evolve advanced intelligence (considering how much of it that crows and dolphins have) or is it just an accident that humans have it, and it may not stay in our genes forever?
The atmospheric composition is likely driven in part by the higher intensity of the Sun. At Mars, it’d have gotten a quarter of the sunlight. That means more water in its atmosphere (as there’s have been less UV to dissociate the water and less light pressure and less solar wind to blow the hydrogen away), less release of CO2 from carbonates, etc.
The virus really isn't that bad, we have faced vastly worse pandemics in history. The overreaction has been horrendous.

(In the UK which is one of the worst hit countries the death toll is about the same as 2003. https://oronu.wordpress.com/2021/01/29/mortality-statistics/)
The systems could be identical down to the last byte, and Google would never join. Google is in no world going to hand over control of their prime revenue-generating stream to TWO of their arch-rivals.
But aren't there lots of books/movies/etc that are "pretty far from what most people would see as 'fine' now"?

I watched Birth of a Nation in college for a film class. It's considered the one of the first feature films.

Now I don't particularly like Birth of a Nation, I'm not attached to it (I feel asleep during the screening). I'm also not attached to Dr. Suess. But I know there are definitely things that I am attached to that the "powers that be" will deem too offensive to publish or distribute any longer. And so I find this turn of events disturbing. I want them to keep publishing these books as long as there is demand and, by arguing for that, I am defending the "offensive" things that I do like.

This is all very basic liberalism. I'm an atheist but I will defend people's right to worship and, in doing so, I am defending my own right not to worship. It's disturbing to me to see how the basic tenets of liberal civilization have become cliche in people's minds.
Nah, another audio daemon is not what Linux needs IMO. This should be merged into the kernel, especially since process isolation is one of the stated goals. Running hard realtime stuff in a user space that is designed to not provide useful guarantees related to hard deadlines is brave, but ultimately somewhat foolish.

I know that there are arguments against having high quality audio rate resampling inside the kernel that are routinely brought up to block any kind of useful sound mixing and routing inside the kernel. But I think that all necessary resampling can easily be provided as part of the user space API wrapper that hands buffers off to the kernel. And the mixing can be handled in integer maths, including some postprocessing. Device specific corrections (e.g. output volume dependent equalization) can also fit into the kernel audio subsystem if so desired.

AFAIK, Windows runs part of the Audio subsystem outside the kernel, but these processes get special treatment by the scheduler to meet deadlines. And the system is built in a way that applications have no way to touch these implementation details. On Linux, the first thing audio daemons do is break the kernel provided interface and forcing applications to become aware of yet another audio API that may or may not be present.

This is just my general opinion on how the design of the Linux audio system is lacking. I am aware that it's probably not a terribly popular opinion. No need to hate me for it.

Are we supposed to read this and take you seriously?
Like Venus as well. IMO Venus is more interesting destination because it's more active and diverse, with Earth like gravity, but high temp and pressure is the reason we don't land there, Mars is just simpler to explore with current tech.
Introduction to Ansible-Test
I feel like the phrase “tracking individual people” is how Google is going to keep tracking you as well as they did before.

With the announcement of federated learning of cohorts [0], it allows Google to use their massive amount of information they have on you already, as well as their dominance in AI to cut out the easy way of tracking people, and make it harder for anyone else to personalize ads.

Don’t get me wrong it’s a good thing that we are removing third-party cookies, but the idea that Google is confident they can track you without them makes me worried for the future of advertising. This move is undoubtedly going to cement google as the best ad tracking company for some time into the future.

The whole museum is fantastic, but walking into the fourth hanger and seeing the Valkyrie takes it up a notch.

The planes are fantastic but the highlight for us was talking to a former F-4 pilot about techniques for dodging SA-2s. Highly recommended.
> I had assumed that the Times had gotten a handle on basic typographic conventions by now.

NYT sets typographic conventions. For decades. They publish an entire in-depth guide on their style, and they adhere to it with great consistency.

They've thought a whole lot more about the issue than you, or I, ever have or ever will.

PS: Beware The New Yorker and The Atlantic.
This is, quite naturally, a very divisive topic. It's extremely difficult to even attempt to look at something like this objectively. The odds are very high you have more positive feelings about one political leaning or the other. And the odds are also high that you believe news that fits your side at least seems more fact-based and informational, and less biased than the opposing side.

It is, of course, entirely possible that one side is, in reality, sticking closer to the facts than the other. But it's really hard to put forth a convincing argument that would change the mind of the other side.

Does anyone believe they have something really convincing and likely to successfully change the minds of someone that disagrees with them on this topic? Have you ever presented what you believe to be facts to someone that disagreed with you, only to have them continue to disagree, and perhaps even dispute with you whether those are really facts?
That’s pretty cool. I like Brave, and Brendan and his team are doing great things over there. Brave is absolutely faster than Chrome, and I believe everyone here on HN considers Brendan a hero once they discover what he’s created.

The search space absolutely needs more participants which will only help the experience for all internet users worldwide. This is very exciting for the search space.

I’m also involved in this space so I wanted to let the Brave team know - if you’re interested in collaborating in any way with Private Search [1] I would love to chat.

Downvoting isn't censorship.

Neither are warning labels.

NSFW and spoiler tags work well enough (e.g. on reddit), that's the model that should be extended rather than content removal. Even something like MPAA ratings would beat content removal.

See Lady and the Tramp (which they're already monkeying with, and probably won't make it much longer altogether) vs. "Stark Raving Dad".

I'm sure I'm missing something, I don't know enough about the Telecommunications Act of '96, but it seems like as soon as you start actively removing content (as opposed to labeling, for optional group- or user-level screening) or editorializing it (as opposed to aggregating and determining what's statistically trending), section 230 goes out the window.
Except you're wrong and all those things consume far less power than bitcoin. That's the entire point.
>Major benefit of analog video is a progressive degradation of quality as a signal gets weaker and almost instant reacquisition after a complete dropout. I'm curious to see how DJI competes with that on a digital video.

The good news is that you can find that out right now. DJI HD FPV has been available for over a year, this is just their first drone offering in the category.

The short answer is that it degrades very gracefully. They have what they call 'focus mode', where the edges of the video lose quality before the middle (where the data matters the most). Once you've used up that signal degradation threshold the rest of the frame slowly degrades to a lower bitrate, and then after that latency starts rising.

After flying analog for 5 years it only took me about 1 day to strongly prefer the DJI FPV video solution. The range is far better, and the video is mind-blowingly clear when compared to analog. On anything but my racing specific drones I have been installing the DJI HD FPV system instead of normal analog gear.
Unions in the US might get more support if they stopped behaving like the companies they claim to protect you from.
Would that method benefit from Googles existing people database? I'm thinking it would, and maybe disabling current tracking will kick the ladder out from potential competitors!

Still probably a step in the right direction.
Eh, just process all audio in a once-a-day batch job at 2am, it'll be great!
Considering that "AI ethics" basically means we shouldn't have AI until we can guarantee that AI doesn't commit thought crimes(according to the current groupthink morality prevalent among the educated class), it's not surprising.

Thanks for the datapoint. I've been following https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/102547 and considering trying it out for a while.

Did you just set services.pipewire.pulse.enable=true?

My major concern is that I use PulseEffects as a key component of my setup so I'll need to check if that works well with PipeWire. But the only way to be sure is to try it!

I'll start by saying that I am vegan, but not ignorant. Thank you for the links to studies. I've never before read about B12 and mental health. I do make sure I supplement but I'm going to read these nonetheless.
If anyone is interested in cephalopod intelligence I heartily recommend the book: "Other Minds: The Octopus and the Evolution of Intelligent Life" by Peter Godfrey-Smith.
I can see fuel cells for aviation if they and the associated fuel storage can be made significantly lighter than Li-Ion batteries.

If I pretend there is suddenly no oil I can see them for land transport in off-grid areas or long-haul trucking, but that's not going to happen. Instead what will happen is that electric vehicles will displace where they can displace and oil will continue to power vehicles in the niches that EVs can't displace yet.

Transportation is collectively only about 25% of CO2 emissions too, and if EVs displace say 2/3 of that (most cars, buses, delivery vans, some trucking, some farm equipment) it will shrink to being an insignificant contributor.

So yeah, I think Toyota is wasting their money.
To be honest pretty much any bigger professional organization already operates under "Leave politics and religion at the door." umbrella. It's pretty much the only way how you can have an organization filled with mixed political viewpoints function in the same direction.

For some reason however, Google and their employees kinda fail to understand this basic tenement of work culture. They're not a scrappy 10 people startup anymore which can be both a workplace and a political party fully agreeing on political issues.
Who are "you guys"?

What evidence do you have that "we are emotionally invested"?

What is "the uproar", some posts on Twitter?

All of the above is weasel words to try to get around the fact that "cancel culture" really just translates to "people facing the consequence of saying unpopular things".

Rowling, who, again, was not "cancelled", faced criticism for her TERF views. TERFs are considered extremists, one that will get you kicked off of platforms for hate speech. This is because at its core they *very unpopular* in all kinds of polls.

Having unpopular views will get you backlash. That is on you.
So, a company who's literal business is tracking you is claiming privacy-first? I'll believe it when I see it.
I agree that it's a generally pointless distinctions, although it might be useful in some cases such as number systems where the multiplication isn't commutative, or for a particular implementation where the distinction matters.

After all if you were to code a multiplication that was implemented naively as a series of additions it'd be generally much faster todo 2x1000 than 1000x2.

To return to TFA I think the author is talking from a pedagogical standpoint, that teaching that multiplication is just a bunch of additions under a trench coat is not the best way to go. I'm not sure that I agree personally.

In particular this bit regarding multiplier/multiplicand makes zero sense to me:

>Different names indicate a difference in function. The multiplier and the multiplicand are not conceptually interchangeable. It is true that multiplication is commutative, but (2 rows × 3 chairs/row) is not the same as (3 rows × 2 chairs/row), even though both sets contain 6 chairs.

Of course 3 rows and 2 rows aren't the same, but what does it have to do with the order of the multiplication? Isn't 2 rows x 3 chairs the same thing as 3 chairs x 2 rows? It's a bizarre argument.

In a way, they themselves started becoming a manufacturer of "IBM compatibles", they just locked their OS to them.

A Jobs-less alternate Apple universe might've been interesting though. He both canned the licensed Apple clones and made OpenStep into the next major MacOS revision. If Copland would've been OS 8 or BeOS as OS X, there could be viable clones, and thus maybe enough critical mass to keep PowerPC alive a bit longer.
This will probably end up left unfinished like Google Fonts’ variable font support.

I don’t understand how they commission high-quality fonts from professional foundries, then turn around and neuter them in the Google Fonts UI – take a look at the family called Commissioner: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Commissioner

Can you tell from this page that the font contains italics? Or that it has a semi-serif flared-terminal variant? These are additional axes that simply aren’t supported, so there’s no way to know they exist unless you visit the foundry’s GitHub page.
But they still hold the copyright. They are not just ceasing publication but they are also forcing no one else to supply the books.
I'm currently trying pipewire on openSUSE Tumbleweed. I'm very impressed with it so far.

(After realizing it was broken, because I didn't have the pipewire-alsa package installed => No audio devices) The pulse drop-in worked flawlessly out of the box. I'd had some isssues with the jack drop-in libraries tho. (metalic voice, basically not useable) To fix this, I had to change the sample rate in /etc/pipewire/pipewire.cfg from the default 48000 to 44100.
Algorithms aren’t necessarily finite, eg “while True, print 1”.

Also, an irrational exponent is the product of component factors.

b = Prod(0,inf) a^[x_i * 10^(-i)] = a^x

So even with irrational numbers, operations can be decomposed - such as exponentiation into multiplication of integer exponents and roots.

Which makes sense, because in the sequence definition of reals you need a way to generate the resulting sequence from the two original sequences.

I think you’re trying to claim more than is true.
Hmm, could it be a system glitch when Namecheap tries to register the domain for you during checkout? This seems less likely to be a coincidence.
Definitely agree here. Essentially, ICANN is deplatforming Peter.
It really is a great illustration of how dumb people can be in mobs. Now there is a hoard of redditors running around screaming at the top of their lungs, "Did you see the evil Namecheap stole that domain from that guy".

Meanwhile, no critical thinking is happening, they just accept it, and will pass the 'news' on to others. The others won't look into at all, and by next week it will be a 'truth' that Namecheap 'steals' domains.
So, just some basic: HTTP implementation, TLS, Render engine; JS API, V8, ... ??

I'd say that is a big piece of software already.
I think this is it. This response shows that if anything we need to hasten regulation proceedings.
The registrar is not the registrant, this just means someone bought it on namecheap.
Looks very nice! Well done.
It did talk about being adaptive. So if you are just listening to music it should be able to use large buffers. However if you switch to something with low-latency demands it can start using smaller buffers.

My main concern is that without rewriting how can you handle pressing play or pause? Sure, that music isn't realtime and can use large buffers but if I start playing something else, or stop the music I still want it to be responsive which may require remixing.
Okay so now it doesn't have to do with unions but with IQ and "cultural diversity"?

Charging 20 cars at 150-350KW for every charging station brings us to some mind boggling numbers today.

The Expedient Way to Build an Enterprise Cloud
Due to lack of interest.
I’ve had terrible gastrointestinal issues for years that had been getting worse and worse, and after so many doctors telling me to just take PPI at 34 (which increase risk of dementia!), I’ve finally dropped 40 pounds by eating whole foods, no grains, mostly meat, as much as I want. I am completely off all antacid medications and blood pressure medicines. It turns out a huge amount of the depression and anxiety I’ve experienced over the years was food related. I’ll eat a salad every few days, but try to make most of my fat intake saturated. I was CONSTANTLY inflamed before, wheat was a major problem.

Some people can’t wait for the data to come in, they’re suffering now, especially when special interest groups that want people to be vegetarian muddy the waters with agenda studies. All I can trust is how I feel personally eating different ways, and eating whole cuts of meat is keeping me from vomiting up my stomach acid in the middle of the night as my “completely normal stomach” (according to my doctor) tries to digest my trachea.
That's cool to imagine, but nobody does it in practice because it isn't nearly as cool when you're doing it as imagining it makes it out to be :) Fixed camera angles are the standard in FPV. Partly because the drone itself tilts to change direction so you would lose your orientation very quickly, and partly because that would just add fragility to the drone. Something you don't want when you're likely going to crash it often.

I feel strongly that people should eat based on their blood type. For example O type appear to do best with a meat based diet. Blood type A should eat more plant based diet. Human bodies are N+1, each body is different, there is not one diet to rule them all. Please be mindful of what you are eating and how it makes you feel. Get in touch with your unconscious and body.
