This is not for patent disputes in general, only disputes involving standard essential patents (SEPs), which these are. The court took standards setting organisation powers to decide fair, reasonable, and non‑discriminatory (FRAND) terms for global application. FRAND licences are global by their nature, so we shouldn't be surprised that the Supreme Court asserted this in its decision.

This isn't UK over-reach, but an application of international standard approach, afaict.
The magic here is that there's a WiFi URL scheme. I never knew. Don't know how well supported it is on old OSs but it's pretty cool:

IMO the big difference between CS and other subjects like math, engineering etc. is big tech. No one goes into a math degree at 18 thinking they're going to be earning $200k in 4 years time. But in CS, this is the general expectation of students. They are obsessed with learning everything they need to know to pass Google's and Facebook's white board exams. Students demand prep sessions to help them pass, where we just give them interview questions to solve. They are not so interested in learning CS for the sake of learning CS.

Students and parents view our CS department like a trade school. They are very focused on us teaching "practical" skills that students will use when they enter the work force. I think that's something we should do, but that's not all we should do. But any time we try to teach more theoretical CS concepts, there's always a lot of push back like "How will I use this thing when I'm at FAANG, and if I won't then why am I even learning this?"

Then there are employers, who have in the past come to us trying to get us to teach their tech stack so they don't have to. They wanted us to convert our entire curriculum to .Net, because that's what they use. Would that ever happen in the math department? I don't think so.
He mentions in his videos that it is largely because he has built up a team of people with a very specific expertise built over years working with him, that you can't just find - meaning training people up from scratch. He'd effectively be started the business from scratch in that case. He's offered them all very good relocation benefits but obviously if people are content they're not going to want to move and he doesn't want to forcefully coerce them to.

How are you going to fool yourself, qualitatively and subjectively, that you have a mind if you don't have something capable of qualia in the first place?

I'm not trying to argue for some kind of an immaterial soul, or claiming that all of psychology is scientific (many theories, at least as it appears to a layman, aren't). And sure, a durable personality and various other mental models we have might be illusions to varying degrees.

But if the lower-level immediate experiences are treated as a real (if emergent and somewhat culturally dependent) thing, I don't see why higher-level mental phenomena such as the common need for a durable sense of self couldn't be treated as real as well.
Older pre-internet generations used the ellipsis to separate thoughts or to insert a pause, whereas today we typically do this with a line break and possibly an entirely separate message. The result is sometimes you end up talking to older folks who come across as annoyed or rude and it's really not the case.

I have a few coworkers who do this and I have to remind myself that it's just how they type. I speak to them in person so I know it's not that they're mad at me or something like that.

Not the original article I read on the topic but similar:
https://www.purewow.com/tech/why-do-boomers-use-ellipses

To be honest, I actually would prefer the ellipses over some other conversations. I have coworkers who have to type out every single thought as a separate message. E.g. I received a similar set of messages below, that should have been a single message and not 5. If they had just paused for 3 seconds to think about their speech, it would have been a single message. Instead I get a notification icon bouncing a dozen times and firing off alerts like it's an emergency.

I think we already do that with words anyway. If someone replies to you with something along the lines of “my sweet summer child”, “tu quoque” or “hey dawg…” you’ll need to know the context to get what they mean.

Verbally your voice tone will bring 1000% more context.

IMO the “you need to know it” part is exactly why it works on many levels, as unfriendly it can be to new people from outside. I would say that’s part of speaking idiomatically.
This _is_ a FRAND case, which is why the decision will cover global licence payments.

The DRM in this case, Denuvo, is a framework. One that is very finicky to work with and it has a gazzilion of different API's which are variants of same basic thing, but when compiled it goes into different code machine. Also, strictly speaking, is not the programmers that embed Denuvo in the game, is the level designers. They are the one who select where in the game the checks are made.

And crackers, until they don't get to that point in game, they have no idea that what's ahead is legit game code or just another Denuvo trap to trigger something (game crash, patch previous cracked portion of game, corrupt saves, etc etc - the possibilities to fuck with the cracker are limited only by imagination). That's why cracking takes time when it comes to Denuvo, because is a tedious step-by-step dissembling boring job.

What do you mean? Outside of trolls, it seems like a common approach.
As an American living in Finland you find that there is no such thing in Finnish culture as an "awkward silence". And (more humorously) when there's a group of people all talking, and someone says something really stupid and embarrassing, it's rare that someone steps in to save the offender's bacon by moving the conversation onward. Instead the stupid just hangs in the air for a looooong moment. Eye contact, knowing smiles. Highly entertaining.
I try to remember to use it as a tool. If I am browsing the internet outside of work, I try to make sure I am researching something that will drive an action in real life - somewhere to go, something to build, what to buy, learning something new, etc.

I also will stream videos for entertainment, but I try to make that a deliberate choice, not just a habit to do whenever nothing is going on in the evenings.
I wonder if these would be a good fit for the DIY mechanical keyboard scene. With a board like this it looks like all you'd need electronics-wise is a battery and a charge controller.

I wouldn't think it would be too difficult to get QMK running on these.

It doesn't look like these are close to the Pro Micro pinout though, so perhaps a shim PCB to wire things up correctly?
Unfortunately, the hard truth, in America at least, is you have to hire a lawyer for these problems. Most such problems magically disappear that way. It's unfair, but it's how it works. It's a lot like needing to bribe an official to get something done: if you don't understand, the system seems impenetrable.
Huh, I wonder why these have the same old CHG USB-Serial chip on them. The C3 has a built-in serial (and JTAG) USB interface. Maybe the software support isn't there yet?

Apple's profits fetch up in some tax-haven, as far as I'm aware. They have a problem, because they hold so much cash in tax-havens, that they can't repatriate without incurring enormous tax liabilities.

So yes, the reported profit was just a massive lie.
> have they actually said this? If the latter, can you link to where they did?

They have said it face-to-face, in person. It is possible that, with enough pushback, they have since disabled the optimization. (They all work at large corporations, nowadays, and must obey management direction.) Or, more likely, disabled certain cases of it. I will ask again.

For documentary evidence, you may consult the definition of C11 memset_s, which is specified not to permit the optimization. It is hard to imagine such a requirement being perceived as needed, absent cases where calls to memset have actually been elided.

I will also experiment further with Godbolt. You might have failed to tickle the compilers in just the right way.
Launch if it’s done specifically by HN. Thanks for you toughts
I'm mostly curious how much overlap there is in use cases for Snippets with parameters, possibly even snippets with conditional parameters vs Copilot.

I imagine there's some situations where Snippets do better, and where Copilot does better, but the more complex the situation the less i trust Snippets... but _also_ the less i trust Copilot.

It seems my trust in Copilot is very similar to that of use cases for Snippets. To throw out fake numbers, it makes me feel like Snippets (and tools like them) cover ~%70 of Copilot's use case. So i'm really curious on knowing what that %30 is, and if it is ever useful.
How does this end up managing memory? I would guess things are just allocated from the Rust heap and not freed?
This phrasing of „vehemently condemned“ is a bit odd.

It seems apple only asked the pictures be taken down. Even in the author’s own admission, they could have given him much more trouble. It seems reasonable for Apple not to give their blessing to this sort of project, both to „protect“ their customers and discourage the installation of what looks like malware on a bunch of their computers.

I guess Apple also reported the artist to the secret service, but given that he installed what appeared to be Malware on a bunch of computers, it’s not an entirely unreasonable response.

The artist probably knew that if he’d been straightforward with Apple about the project he wanted to do and asked for permission for it, rather than vaguely asking whether he can take some pictures/video, he wouldn’t have gotten permission.

In the end it seems like it mostly worked out. The artist got to do the project, and only got a little trouble for operating what many would consider a legal grey zone, and he got a buch of discussion and exposure from it.

Can you be specific on what you found to be the issue? Did you try MotionEye? They're just a front-end for motion which by itself is very configurable (I recently enabled encoding using vaapi driver for some good performance gains for multiple camera detection/recording), But you need to get past the Python 2 mess of MotionEye but the community is very active and soon I expect the Python 3 branch to reach stability.

What I wanted to say is that according to the author, Humans are unique in the way they can "communicate about communication", while any other living being on Earth uses communication just to transfer information: "I am hungry", "I am in heat", "Danger", "I am poisonous, go eat someone else"...

Adding the metacommunication layer we can do much much more than just saying "give me the milk".

W. says that the meta-communication layer, for humans, is mostly a way to broadcast your own self-image and see how the others react to it.

How many different way to ask for milk you can manage? Polite, obsequious, commanding, rude... what are you trying to say to the guy handling the milk, besides the simple fact that you want some? Are you in a position of power? or are you appealing to his kindness?

So the reason the cat does not need this extra layer is because he only wants his milk, and it is not trying to impress you about his own coolness, or how erudite he is, and so on.

The biggest issue with academia is their hyper focus on pumping out as many papers as cheaply and quickly as possible. Big ambitious projects are much less efficient at pulling this off.

>> Any medical procedure is only worth pursuing if it gives you a higher quality of life in the long term. A constant hunger cannot compensate for any weight loss.

As long as you're consciously making that trade off. Hunger vs shorter life, health conditions etc. I think that's a personal choice for the individual.
This seems to line up with my own experience. After about 5 hours my mind just collapses and I'm significantly less productive and just ready for the end of the day.
I want to use Obsidian but the only thing that keep me off is the lack of encryption support. That is why I am staying with Joplin since it offers a full encryption. Obsidian does have a plugin for the encryption but only partial of it.
The short term overeating studies produce what we might call highly nonlinear results, which also undermines CICO (which is a linear equation). It's pretty obvious the body has other ways to dump exceeds calories than turning them into fat stores. Those studies, and the obvious tendency of diets to fail in the long term, are strong support for some kind of lipostat system, to my mind.

Others have mentioned gut biomes... My uneducated guess is plastics or some other chemical that was introduced into industrial use in the 20th century. The cross species effect (lab and zoo animals getting father on the same controlled diets) is also a really big clue that were dealing with a molecule. And, as with lead poisoning from gasoline, perhaps a hard to pinpoint one due to prevalence.
Not to mention that jobs are more sedentary on average than they were in the 60s and 70s. So not only did we increase intake but also likely reduced expenditure.
My dad buys loads of this stuff from eBay and Aliexpress, we got a lot of plastic boxes just filled with modules like this. It's a shame I don't have any ideas on what to do with them though, they just sit there doing nothing.

Was/am in the same boat. Did what I had to when broke and poor, now am happy to give extra when I can.

However to this day I would rather crack and try and game before wasting $70-100+ on an unfinished piece of garbage, which I firmly believe 8/10 games are now.

With companies releasing broken games like this and 50gb day one patches that still don't fix shit, these days it's the game companies that don't have my trust, not the other way around.

I used to get into Early Access on Steam and we all saw the cesspool of forever-betas in that shit. In fact to this day, 10 years later I think, warframe is still in beta, and I dont think a single game I ever EA'd made it to production, all were thieves. Chucklefish was a great example of that. Jesus and they have control over the forums too so no dissent allowed. They never finished the game but posted pics of their new multi million dollar studio and new houses.

Anyway sorry but fuck games these days.

My first-year CS student self would have agreed with you; I had several experiences where I (a minority student in CS) had to work with overconfident white male students who always felt the need to explain things to me that I already knew. Looking back though, these experiences have made me a more resilient person when dealing with difficult colleagues and peers I'm forced to work with.

I've always loved teaching peers because it reinforces my knowledge of the concepts being taught and gives me a sense of satisfaction. On the flip side, I feel small and maybe a bit ashamed if I'm less skilled than my partner, but if my partner's nice enough to explain things to me, then I come out with a better understanding of the concepts and a good relationship with my peer. Either way, it's a win-win situation, even if it doesn't feel that way in the moment.
These two things are not in opposition. I eat whatever and whenever I want... because I also enjoy large amounts of physical activity that burn it all off.
How does that harbor fair trade? Neither the inventor nor the holder have made any attempt to bring a product to market.

It should be the burden of the court to prove that the patent was actively being used (by the holder) to produce a product and that the infringement directly hurt the potential target market of the product in question.

The author was caught installing a remote administration tool on someone else’s computers and using that RAT to take surreptitious photos of the computers’ users which he then posted online for personal gain.
