Sure, but that is not what I meant.

> I wonder what this might mean for the Valve Index.

-> Could this somehow lead to a standalone Valve VR headset at least just as good as the Vive?

The Index has a 1440 x 1600 resolution per eye, at 120Hz.

By your own calculation, that means

>>> 1440 * 1600 * 2 / (3840 / 2160)

0.55

So, if I follow correctly, 10x less performance for half the number of pixels, meaning 5x worse than playing in 4k on a 2080?

Which means that embedding this specific hardware in an Index absolutely wouldn’t do the job.

Correct?

There are lots of examples of speech that isn't protected by the US 1st amendment and most people would NOT consider "free speech" in other places, but which would be protected under an ABSOLUTE right:

* Perjury and lying to the police, FBI etc

* Conspiracy to commit crimes

* Leaking national secrets

* Incitement to riot

* Child pornography possession, distribution etc.

* Revenge porn

* "Shouting fire in a crowded theatre"

* Free speech generally doesn't apply to civil actions (it can to government cases), so you can't use free speech to escape civil liabilities for say copyright infringement or libel. Especially in the states this can be a major restriction as someone richer than you can bankrupt you with lawyers fees even if you are saying true and pertinent things...

The limits of what speech is protected differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The fact that absolutely all speech isn't absolutely protected is something a lot of people struggle with until you get into the details...
SpaceX could absolutely do it. They chose not to in order to focus development resources on starship. It’s all about opportunity cost.

Also, you’d have to redesign F9 somewhat. Starship has the fairing integrated with the upper stage, which reduces recovery costs. Starship’s booster also does Return To Launch Site nominally, which means you don’t need a separate recovery droneship (Falcon 9 does that, too, but to make the most out of every expended upper stage, it makes sense to use down-range recovery). The F9 legs are sort of complicated logistically whereas Super Heavy is supposed to be recovered by the actual launch site, reducing turnaround time and costs. Also, using methane means less coking in the engines, which reduces turnaround costs and maintenance. Lots of things like that you’d need to reengineer to enable $1 million launch costs, but it’s feasible for an MLV. Relativity is planning to do it.
‘Roadrunner’ brings Chef Bourdain – and his wanderlust – to the big screen
Yes, I skimmed the paper already and it wasn't too surprising. There are details that will take some time to parse out to understand how important they are.

Personally, I've found over decades that academic papers like that are far less useful to me than a github project and downloadable data that I can inspect, run and modify on my own. Other folks I know could read that paper and write the code in a day, I always wish I could do that.
Twilio or MessageBird are worth a look at.
Two gripes: Wifi 6e should be included for a new device that's launching for gaming this holiday.

OFDMA really has the potential to decrease the lag of cloud gaming when playing wirelessly.

2 why would you just let the microsd card dangle in the breeze like that?!? It's a necessity at the storage sizes provided and ruining that slot will make the whole device a big hassle to use.
Your next step should have been your previous step, i.e. make sure there is a reasonable demand that your app can satisfy:

* Did you speak to future customers to figure out if their pain points are real, i.e. they are ready to pay you?

* Did you create a landing page that collects emails of people who want to use your app?

* Did you find a couple of customers who are so desperate for your app that they want to get into beta or maybe even pay you for whatever you have on your hands?

There are tons of low code or even no-code options out there that can help you build a landing site, a mailing list and everything else you need to figure out the product-market fit [0]. My goto is currently WordPress + Elementor (visual editor) + Yoast (SEO) + Breeze (performance) + Cloudflare CDN (moar performance!!) + MailChimp (mailing lists).

I’m not sure you understand the arguments being made here. $1m per launch for F9 is ludicrous because 20% of the rocket, by manufacturing cost, is expended on every launch. For Starship none of the rocket is expended per launch, the only costs are site operations, fuel and depreciation on the rocket over a hundred or more flights.

They are aiming for daily launches of starship, so the site operations costs would be divided by potentially hundreds of launches per year instead of the one or two dozen a year nowadays.

The cost model per flight of Starship is more like that of a jumbo jet than that of a Falcon 9.

Anthony Bourdain’s AI-Faked Voice in New Documentary Sparks Backlash
I've read it, but I find the line hard to see with this article. There are several, maybe most, of the other claims that are actually true. Governments in general really do breach systems and drop malware like this, and most ransomware attacks aren't being performed with big zero day exploits. Jonathan Swift didn't cite his previous articles or actual newspapers, as I remember at least. After a couple more reads I should have picked up on them "shortening the grace period", that seems obvious. I got burned by this one.
Those speeds are a joke. I’d be mad to have less than 100, and currently have 1gbps
They do, the repositories define dependencies, so when you change something everything that depends on you is rebuilt and tested. This prevents breaking changes, both for your dependencies and your reverse dependencies, identically to a monorepo.

It's a bit complicated to explain, but it works. That's why I hope they'll make a blog post :)
I have yet to see anyone classify "I don’t like it” as "brutal honesty".

> As someone who has said some really hurtful things, I can’t tell you how much it pains me to have my thoughtlessness mistaken for cruelty.

If it was throughtless or innacure, dont call it honesty then. It is not honesty no matter how brutal.

And yes, people do say hurtful untrue things on purpose. Or they just say them, but then they insist on them knowing it was throughtless.
You can project VR content on to a flat screen. You don't want to look at it that way, but you can do it. The part that makes it 3D is entirely down to the lenses and optics used. The display inside is just like any other.

Racism doesn't need the validity of a birth certificate to exist. My birth certificate doesn't list if I'm gay, straight, or bi. Doesn't mean the LGBTQ community isn't discriminated, attacked, and sometimes killed for simply existing.

The Dutch knowing nothing of racism is super fucking rich. Read your own history books.
> I have some archive data stored on GELI drives; this is a welcome development.

Sure, I have a few luks encrypted drives (having run Linux, not freebsd).

But I'm inclined to move them over to zfs.

> GELI is a much more straightforward way to deliver an encrypted block device compared to an encrypted Zvol.

Maybe if you need an encrypted block device - but with zfs in Linux and freebsd as standard, experimental support on windows, Mac - I'm not sure I agree geli/cryptsetup is an easier way to deliver an encrypted (at rest) filesystem.

More to the point - between experimental geli support on Linux, and stable zfs on Linux and freebsd - I would strongly prefer zfs. (or freebsd and geli for accessing archives that are tricky to move over to zfs for some reason).
How do you think UNIX clones, GNU utilities and IoT devices are kept up to date?
You mean, by lying? By pretending there is crisis that dont exists? This is way more manipulative and unethical.

You completely changed the reason for overtime.
Some of this monoculture and attack surface is necessary (line-of-business software, standard productivity tooling, the OS itself...) for the company to function.

At least with remote management, you can respond at scale if one of those gets compromised.
> If you look at the GitHub Terms of Service, no matter what license you use, you give GitHub the right to host your code and to use your code to improve their products and features

Sure, that's fine if the author of the code chooses to upload it to GitHub. But what if they don't, and then someone else does? If I take an AGPL project that someone else wrote and upload it to GitHub, does that grant GitHub the right to use the code "to improve their products and features" which are closed source? I don't have the right to relicense the code, and neither does GitHub, so clearly not.
Not only do I think it's not unfair, I think people who are in tough situations often hide in those tough situations as a way of explaining their continued poor choices, even though the situation, while tough, has no bearing on why people keep digging themselves into deeper and deeper holes.

For example, it costs money to move out of SF, yes, but it also costs money to stay in SF, which is something you'd figure out if you stopped and evaluated the options.

It's hard, I empathize with that, but it's no excuse. Everything is hard, and having the presence of mind to logically consider your options is your responsibility. Not taking that time is not a luxury people in those situations usually have, but seem to think they do because "do nothing" is always an option, no matter how costly it ends up actually being.

I think it's fair to judge someone based on their decisions, doubly so for their decisions in a tough spot. There are always good choices to be made in a given situation, and not making those good choices (even if they're limited) is the responsibility of the individual, and nobody else.
> This is a wild misrepresentation of the opposing perspective.

I think that's currently how the game is played. You can try to be better than that, but then the other side wins because they are still happy to play dirty.
Awesome. Seems like it can't find the Windows VM files though.
No, not even in startups.
You can plug it into a display, and plug in a mouse + keyboard.

I'd be inclined to buy one of these for gaming and an ultra light laptop for laptop stuff when the time comes, versus getting a gaming laptop or desktop.
Yes, all science should be communicated in the form of an academic paper wiht a supporting git repo and quickly downloadable dataset and a fast path to reproducing the work. That would be a huge change from the establishment.

It's quite unclear what value this will have to pharma; personally I doubt this has any direct applications (and I'm one of the few people in the world that can say that with deep authority).
It is an excellent point and very similar to the experience we had seen when we first started with this approach. We have seen that once financial incentives and limits on no of people whom you can recommend, were introduced, people were not just praising anybody and everybody.

Another interesting phenomenon we see is that people don't generally recommend people from their current emplpoyer, they generally do from previous ones or their college friends.
This is way back about a decade ago, when Valve was very Windows-centric and barely even had macOS ports of Steam running. Windows 8 was announced with an entirely new application type, APIs, and distribution model intended to support tablets. Existing applications were shoved in the Desktop penalty box, while new applications had to be fullscreen or side-by-side, like a tablet. Furthermore, Windows on ARM was announced, with the Desktop penalty box further restricted to only Windows apps (though you could jailbreak it). If you wanted your app to work as a tablet app, you had to rewrite it for XAML and distribute it through the Microsoft Store, with similar technical restrictions to that of Apple's.

The very clear message from Microsoft was that the future of Windows was in fullscreen tablet apps and that the desktop - as well as third-party app stores - was going away. Valve would proceed to launch a Linux version of Steam a few months before Windows 8 RTM'd, their own Linux distro a year later, and consolized PC hardware another year after that. Basically, the whole company made a very clear pivot away from game development (which they still haven't fully gone back to) to ensure Steam had a lifeboat if Windows 9 were to drop the Desktop or enforce app lockouts on it.

Of course, what actually happened is that Windows 8 became the laughing stock of the entire PC industry. Microsoft was trying, like, five developer transitions at once and nobody was interested. (Not even Apple can do that, and they actually did try. Ask me about Rhapsody sometime.) So the end result is that app developers never wrote anything to the new native XAML APIs, users just used the Desktop app, and nobody had any interest in Windows on ARM tablets. That's why you don't remember the Windows Store lock-in; in Windows 10, Microsoft got rid of it.
Right, my understanding is it's still available but not as a physical hardware box anymore but instead as some kind of software. But it's still there and supported, no?
You can. You can even install Windows, if you so choose. Or probably another Distro.
Cookie prompt is super annoying on mobile (safari) and hard to close out of.
Crypto "currency" is the worst thing that has happened to the internet. Without crypto "currency" there's no ransomware.
The model parameters are only available for non-commercial use. That's a shame, as I presume there might be a lot of medical startups that would benefit from having this kind protein-folding tech available.
> This is substantive reason for unions.

Union exists to improve working conditions.

I never heard of unions protecting working disagreeing with top management policy making, that would be silly.

> Employees run the company

No they don't. They do what they are hired to do. They do not steer it.

> and should control it.

They can just create another company and control it just fine. But then guess what? They will sell their shares on the first opportunity. Because workers don't really need that.
I'll definitely look around and see if I can integrate additional historical datasets. That should be a pretty smooth integration if I can find good sources. For taxes, do you think there are some specific ways the tool could maybe be generalized more so that users can adapt it to their country's rules (or at least approximate them) without having to hard-code all the details of every country's tax system?
I'm not a mathematician, either, but I believe your comment shows why not all infinities are equal.

When you attempt to enumerate .1, .2, .3, .4, etc. you get an infinite count of numbers. However, when you perform that same operation on .05, .15, .2, .25, and so on, you will get "twice as many numbers" as the first time around.

In this way, the second infinite sequence has "twice as many numbers" as the first infinite sequence.
This can do that. Or you could get a clamp controller for your phone, and use the Steam Link app.

That’s listed separate from the track pads. The sticks have capacitive touch?
So I am not an expert, but from their description, they move more complex parts to compiler... To me that sounds a little bit like Forth on the Chip, just accumulator and some basic instructions? Is this fair to say or I am not understanding it?
Same conclusion can be applied to COBOL applications.

The adage that you have to use a terminal if you want to run a distro has been out of date for over a decade.
I've always been brought up to realise that math(s) is not real. It's more of a (extremely) good system to model stuff, say like a map isn't real, but just a representation

> A disturbing thing is that the architecture is much less novel than I originally thought it would be, so this shows perhaps one of the major difficulties was having the resources to try different things on a massive set of multiple alignments. This is something an industrial lab like DeepMind excels at. Whereas universities tend to suck at anything that requires a directed effort of more than a handful of people.

Yeah, the HN commentary on Alphafold has a high heat-to-light ratio. I'm eager to read the paper because the previous description of the method sounded remarkably similar to methods that have been around for ages, plus a few twists.

The devil is going to be in the details on this one.

Do you have any examples of ad supported free services that you think are at risk of shutting down?
But the choice is really between a personal risk of going to jail or a personal risk of finding a new job. As long as the individual risk outweighs the collective reward the incentive to lie should be small.

Besides, unless 2 or 3 execs can also implement the recovery procedure without any of their engineers catching wind I don't think it's likely that the secret would remain well kept.
Nope, you can also install any other linux app / game on it. Or even an entirely different OS. SteamOS is arch based, so you can probably just pacman install whatever you please.
You should probably give your price tiers names. Just having different price points without different product names is somewhat confusing. Named price tiers also makes bookkeeping easier to organize. Also I'm curious how you rationalize these price points. Why is the base tier for 150 users? (that seems high) What is the median size of a paid telegram group?
My perception is that they think they can "fix" these horrifying problems with cleverer software, better policies, and new procedures without negatively altering or impacting the giant gush of money that flows into the company every day.
With YOLOv4-based aimbots on the rise, it's really a losing battle even for the most anticheat infused games.

> 10,000 really seems like chump change for this bug. Bypasses all protecting, executed arbitrary code. That's worth a lot in the right hands.

I'm not sure you understand the actual severity of this exploit. I personally am not going out of my way to check if any of my servers are patched for this or verify my kernels are up to date.

This exploit doesn't impact me, or most people. Why? It requires CAP_NET_ADMIN to exploit that. Who has CAP_NET_ADMIN? root, root in a container, or a machine with unprivileged user namespaces.

Many kernels turn off unprivileged user namespaces still, and even with them enabled, it also requires running untrusted binaries on your machine.

This isn't remotely exploitable. I don't run untrusted binaries or containers on any of my machines. I feel pretty safe.

It also doesn't "bypass all protections". If you run a container where the user doesn't have CAP_NET_ADMIN, they won't be able to exploit this. If you turn off unprivileged user namespaces, an unprivileged user on the host won't be able to get CAP_NET_ADMIN to exploit this.

Why do you think this is worth a lot? What are "the right hands" and what could they do with this?
Rents, education, childcare costs, and healthcare costs have been rising everywhere, not just in city centers. OSU is way more expensive than it was 20 years ago. My mom graduated from OSU in the 80s and paid for her self with a summer job working retail, you cannot do that now. Most flagship state universities now cost 35k+ for in state residents, and they used to cost 5-8k for in state residents. They have increased tuition expenses because the state legislatures cut funding during the great recession. Today a much larger portion of the cost of state uni education is borne by the student and less is borne by the state. Maybe 20 year ago, for some people it made financial sense to "opt out" and move back near your parents, and with the rise of remote work, it might make sense today for a small slice of workers. The large majority of millenials do not, and never will work at jobs that can be done remotely. They include huge industries like medical staff, retail, home healthcare, food service, etc.
It depends so much on what it is, a simple single component swap seems unlikely to cause issues.

Sure I understand that a full diagnosis/repair of say a water damaged board I might not trust, but if it's just a port or a capacitor then it seems unlikely to cause massive issues if the person has any EE background whatsoever.
What’s the problem with it being “artificial”? Is your problem purely linguistic? You just dislike the word “exists” being used in this context?

Possibly, but the component level repair could be a good triage solution while awaiting that replacement board. Not a soldier, but I imagine in warzones and combat areas a good enough solution that works now is more important than awaiting the "right" solution that takes 3 days.

iiuc dirty cow did not require CAP_NET_ADMIN to be exploited, and this one does.

That's a massive difference since CAP_NET_ADMIN is somewhat rare (i.e. you can't get it from a random android app, but a random android app could have exploited dirty cow)
