I bought a Lenovo P1 Gen 3 a couple of months ago and the fans spin while the machine is sleeping.

I'd love to know if it's crappy thermal design from Lenovo, crappy CPUs from Intel, or Windows sleep mode being too demanding. Maybe it's all three?

You seem like a skilled political analyst, so I defer to your expertise. One correction - it’s spelled “tenets”.
Right, the article is just playing up the most inflammatory aspect of gas bans.

But IMO, a better way forward would be to raise taxes on residential gas delivery such that home heating with gas becomes cost prohibitive. The extremely low cost of gas incentivizes profligate, wasteful consumption, sort of like the unmetered delivery of water in places like Sacramento, where the marginal cost of water delivery is very low, and the externalized cost of eventual resource depletion is not accounted for.
When I replaced all my spinning disks with SSDs and fans with ultra quiet ones I realized just how much I relied on fan noise to signal things. E.g. if my computer isn’t visibly on, the fan/disk noise tells me whether I need to power it on or just wake it. I’ve had to start changing my habits as a result.
If you think "nothing bad has happened to me personally due to aggressive tracking measures" is at all a reasonable argument, then I can only assume you are incredibly ignorant on the implications of it. I don't despise tracking because I'm afraid Google is interested in me personally. But the implications at a societal level are ENOURMOUS.

When you have data on one person, you can sell them ads. When you have data on everybody, you can change elections, culture, and widespread opinions as you see fit. Even if that isn't being abused today (which it probably is) the fact the Google has the capability of doing that one day is scary enough that we absolutely shouldn't let the practice continue.
Those whispers must be pretty quiet. Do you have any sources for this?
Bitcoin's hashcash PoW is not a 256-bit search problem though. At current difficulty levels, it's closer to an 86-bit problem, so Grover's algorithm reduces that to the equivalent of a 43 bit search space.
I'm guessing that since there are hundreds of millions of repositories the typical marginal value of someone's contributions would optimistically be on the order of a few dollars. But since the consensus on HN is that they spend very little time actually coding and there is no use-case for copilot, perhaps it worth a lot less.

In general they are cocky but in an expressive way. It is heartening that when papers like this are published they fix the issues despite the PR spin. I've had one email thread interaction with Telegram and it was to unban my account that got banned for messing around with old clients, I can't say they were pleasant but they did answer many of my questions.

>So far there has been an extreme amount of FUD thrown their way from people who pushed WhatsApp and Signal.

Signal's people did not inform their Android users of the potential for backdoored IME's in places like China for over a year (thankfully their site does mention it now). It was telling that the app was available and usable there until word got out that this was a very obvious/easy surveillance target for such regimes. Personally I think it's possible the Signal Foundation was under a gag order and could not report on this. But I would not rule out cockiness in their own way, to date I've never received a single response to the most basic of questions (back when I was an active user/promoter of their apps) from any of their team dating all the way back to Textsecure days.

HN discussed the IME issue around 6 months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25758995
But note that, while it doesn't expose global state, it is still not thread-safe. The documentation only says that it "may work" and that there are specific things that will certainly crash when used from different threads.

Training isn't the issue, it's the lack of accountability. Military members are under the threat of being court martialed and spending time in military prison. They know they have less rights in military court than they would as civilians, and that punishment can be harsh.

Cops, on the other hand, know that the system will bend over backwards to accommodate whatever transgression or crime they commit. They can and do act with impunity, because they're actively aware of that impunity. They know that if they get caught, in the worst case scenario, they'll get a paid vacation, their boss will allow them to resign, and they'll have to work one town over.
Audio latency is only measured in the air once it leaves a transducer. You're comparing apples to oranges here and deliberately misunderstanding the issue.

It's the opposite. For this "security" you are handing control to a private corporation that when it comes down to it will pick money over democracy and freedom.
Can anyone explain to me the psychology of having 30 tabs open? Why not just bookmark the URLs to an ephemeral folder or something? Having more than 10 tabs open is beyond stressful for me, and honestly I can’t see how having more open would make anyone more productive. Really curious to learn about other workflows and excessive tab use is one I’m morbidly curious about.
The vast majority of police never actually need their weapons. So why are they routinely carrying them?

I disagree, the NSA has shown us all that sucking in all data and worrying about sorting it later is the way to go.

>but it is something that has to be done if we are going to avoid catastrophe

What sources of pollution are we allowed to keep? What is your criteria for an acceptable amount of human impact on the environment? If you also have information for acceptable levels of cobalt, nickel, and copper mining, and landfill usage (per capita per year, in cubic meters, I guess), that would be useful. Because every time I see any climate change story, I'm told that I absolutely have to give something up to save humanity, and I'm beginning to feel like no level of existence will be acceptable.

I'm very eco conscious in my day to day life, more than most of the people in my social group. But I also realize we can't just eliminate every trace of our lives.

Policing is far superior to what it replaced.

Previously it was the army, mob rule, or mafia rule (sometimes legally sanctioned like a Lord of an area).
I always interpret the phrase to mean: “that’s not a bad thing”. specifically in contexts such as “we have more demand than supply” or “we’re hiring a ton of new people”.

Typically in contrast to the alternative.

I got my head around it eventually. Anything imperative that implicitly operates on the current figure/axes just calls the OO method on gcf / gca (get current figure / axes).

I often use the imperative API as it’s less typing often, and I do a lot of throwaway plotting code. But some functionality only exists in the OO interface. Then it’s an easy trip to gca().my_oo_function() and you recovered the imperative version.
You are asking me to provide the hypothetical implementation for a real-world function?

I don't know how to respond to this. Just observe the thing I am showing you. THAT is what I am talking about. It's right before your eyes - I took it from my head and made it real.

>If you want to argue that

I DON'T want to argue! All I am doing here is expressing myself - you are the one jumping down my throat.

This is me telling you that I am not interested in any social game of figuring out "who is right or who is wrong". If that's the game you are playing - I am happy to terminate the interaction.

What I mean by f() != f() in the abstract is precisely that Ruby program in the concrete. Nothing more - nothing less.

There is no room for "right" and "wrong" here. Those are moral judgments and I've committed no moral violation of any sort.
Can confirm, I've worked with mobile phone related stuff for about 15 years and never before this article have I heard of a whitelist. My first reaction is that the concept sounds ridiculous, you're supposed to be able to put a SIM card to any device you find and just use it.

A reminder, a 20th century US president was found to be openly spying on the opposition, and only faced repercussions for the cover-up. Though I can't prove it, I assume every major political group is doing some amount of surveillance on the opposition.
Indeed, the example seems a little underwhelming.

It does demonstrate that diffsitter can tell that `fn main() {` was not semantically changed at all, while still being able to cope with syntactically invalid code like `fn add_one {`.

But look at the following, where I've attempted to manually convert diffsitter's generated diff into a unified diff format, making it easier to understand what's going on:

1 fn main() {
2 - let x = 1;
3 - fn add_one {
4 + }
5 + fn addition() {
6 }
7 + fn add_two() {
8 }

Look at the closing brace on line 6, which doesn't have a - or + in front of it, meaning that the diff tool has found a closing brace in the old code and one in the new code and decided that they correspond to each other. But this correspondence is not syntactically meaningful. In the old code, that closing brace belongs to `fn main`. In the new code, however, it belongs to `fn addition`, while `fn main`'s closing brace is now represented by the "inserted" closing brace on line 4!

Mixing up braces this way is a typical weakness of traditional diff tools. I'd hope that a syntax-aware diff tool could prevent such mix-ups, and instead generate a diff like:

1 fn main() {
2 - let x = 1;
3 }
4 - fn add_one {
5 - }
6 + fn addition() {
7 + }
8 + fn add_two() {
9 + }

Even though this diff is one line longer (while diff tools typically aim to produce the shortest possible diff), it's more semantically correct, and would be much easier to deal with if a merge conflict came into play.

Unfortunately, diffsitter does not do this, at least not in that demo. And I don't see how it would be [edit: caused by] a disconnect between how a parser parses the code and how a human parses it. The parser has the same idea of closing braces belonging to particular opening constructs as humans do.
If FB are blocking things that they deem bad, then they are clearly setting themselves up as arbiters of morality, even if they say they aren't.
It's not easy when the only way to avoid the problem you describe is to rewrite your whole project(s) in a language like Go. I like Go and have used standalone binaries instead of Docker containers when deploying Go applications, but I don't always work with Go applications.

As other posters said, Docker largely exists to help with any situation where you don't have a single binary. These situations are still very common for many developers and devops engineers. And in those cases, Docker can be very helpful.
Just because the old modules were mPCIe doesn't mean a new one will be too.

I have an Thinkpad T430s, that came with mPCIe 3G modem; for LTE, it was possible to find a replacement, but for 5G, I don't expect there will be any (any whitelists in firmware aside).

Or similarly, I have an openwrt router with mPCIe 802.11-ac wifi (Turris Omnia). It is not possible to replace them with -ax adapters, they all have m.2 interface.

With cars and other long-used goods I would expect the same problems.
He addressed exactly that and said he expected the inspector would not care about the receipt and would shut his doors. This expectation is reasonable because it's totally consistent with all of his experiences so far.
This is cool but it doesn’t address the elephant in the room: regular folk don’t care about any of this, they don’t care about the web being more closed and privative or even having some of their rights trampled.

So how do you get them to care? Or how do you offer enough value that they migrate to new systems and protocols?
no, because the bigger win isn't ingoring whitespacing. It's ignore refactoring changes like renaming functions
This is problematic and wrong, however, in today's climate I think the term "activist" is applied far too liberally. At times, so much that clear enemies of the state could also claim to be "activists". Another important distinction is that for journalists to be truly objective, most of the time that means they can't simultaneously be active as "activists".

Hard to think anyone is surprised that top-tier pay-to-play malware is being promulgated by Israeli firms...
This is not entirely accurate. iOS indeed uses a client-server UI model, kind of similar to X11. Along with submitting “widget” hierarchy updates, it also supports submitting “animations”. The downside is that the animation states are not truly accessible by the actual app after it submits them.

The scrolling animation is 99.9% of the time implemented as a client-side animation timer submitting non-animated hierarchy updates to the server. It’s common to have janky scrolling.
Without programmers disregarding ethics these companies would have nothing to sell.

My proposition is to put known employees of these companies on a blacklist for conferences like CanSecWest or similar.
I'm still not convinced, but at the same time it's not up to me to decide. If you haven't done so already, I recommend you make your case in the relevant issue.

All of the advice you've received here is good, you shouldn't sacrifice your personal security no matter how good it looks.

But! To provide a contrarian example, one of guys involved in creating Guitar Hero faced this exact dilemma and took out a second mortgage on their house in order to fund the first round of production of guitar controllers:

The circumstances were unique because at the time investors were extremely hesitant to fund specialized hardware runs. His gamble paid off handsomely but it's probably the exception to rule.
It's 2021 - well into the age of the internet.

What relevance has the practices which police ostensibly supplanted to the matter of how we handle public safety post-abolition?
Most of Telegram's advantages come from:

* anonymous accounts. You need a phone number to set up an account, but you don't need to share your phone to talk to people on it

* network effects. The sticker game is great on Telegram because there are so many people on it making stickers.

* the secure chat *option*. It has an option of being secure and so therefore people think it's secure and when they find out it's not secure all the time, they're still happy that it has the option of being secure.
They violated his rights when they required a license. Licensure is when the state sells you back your rights.
I refer to my original comment, not the one where you moved the goal posts. Environmental impact is of course much more than just the difference between cultivated land and natural habitat, almost everything we as humans do has an impact on the natural habitat.
While interesting (and cool), I thought it was curious that in this demonstration, at no time did it appear on a person's wrist. It suggests you need to remove it in order to use it.

That's a bit like demonstrating a healthy beverage, but never stirring, pouring, splashing or tasting it, or demonstrating an innovative clothing article without taking it off the rack.
These whispers have been around for decades in certain circles, even before the weird Florida non-prosecution. The singularly most public, appropriately caveated, responsible discussion of this comes through Eric Weinstein, here:

In US school, we were generally required to have a three ring binder every year for class. Like with #2 pencils, we're vaguely aware other types exist but virtually never encounter them.
That's a legitimate debate, but you're exploring a military problem in a criminal context. True, gangs and drug cartels could and perhaps will use robots to gather intelligence or kill enemies, including police. But let's be realistic here, they could attack each other with faked up tanks or from stolen helicopters...but that almost never happens.
Word gap: When money’s tight, parents talk less to kids
Hm. I've always thought it was more of a result of our current display technology? Digital displays buffer an entire frame before they display it. Sometimes several frames. And the refresh rate is usually 60 Hz so each buffered frame adds a delay of 16 ms. CRTs on the other hand have basically zero latency because the signal coming in directly controls the intensity of the beam as it draws the picture.

Anyway, is it any better on displays that have a higher refresh rate? I feel like it should make a substantial difference.

Show HN: Made a service that can text you as soon as a limited item is available
Hey there HN!

Recently I have been wanting to buy an Xbox Series X, and every time I saw a post of it being released in the news, the event was in the past and the item sold out. Drat. So I decided to build a site that can track the main Twitter accounts that post about real-time Xbox Series X releases and send an immediate text to my phone. Hope it helps someone!

P.S. - Would love to expand this to other items or services which have limited availability (e.g. GPUs, the new Nintendo OLED, and more if there is demand). So please let me know if you need something tracked and maybe I can build something to help you out. Thanks!

~Cheers

im just not worried at all ... this problem is only a problem for people that think social networks matter. They dont. These connections are vapor, their importance is only granted by the person that believes it to be.

To think that social media is important is to think being famous is important. Its the same mindset that makes people feel more or less confident based on how many likes they have.

Step away from the social media. Do something active in the real world. Learn a craft. Make a connection with someone in your area.

couple notes.The movie, the book and several original scripts by Strugatskies all have partially different stories and endings (with the endings every time telling different thing).

One of the brothers - Arkady - worked as a translator in the Far East in the beginning of 195x. The large areas on the border there were deeply and strongly fortified areas of Japan Kwantung army which USSR defeated in 1945. The motif of the dangerous zone full of hazards can be traced in the Strugatskies' works from the earlier short stories where the events directly happen at those Kwantung army fortifications to the abstracted Zone in the "Roadside Picnic" and the forest booby-trapped with automated weapons in the "The Inhabited Island".

With Russia? No it's just useful to remember Durov's background, and since he's Russian, there aren't many countries he'd be secretly collaborating with.

When the vendor is intentionally collecting and defending the collection of such vast amounts of data, you have to ask, who might benefit if Telegram was a front.

I'm not specifically against Russia or US, I'm just someone who'd prefer people to have the right to their privacy. Mass surveillance isn't healthy for society, and Telegram is enabling it with their silo of user data.

So ultimately, it doesn't matter if Durov is directly playing for any big party, the problem is there's not enough tech in place to prove he isn't and when that's the case, Telegram servers and the user data that sits there, is a free for all. A server in UK is not legally, (or technically) protected from the NSA, CCA, Fancy Bear, Unit 8200, Iranian Cyber Army etc.

The only bone to pick here is any vendor who'd claim to be fighting for privacy when their privacy-by-design architecture is indistinguishable from honey pots and surveillance capitalistic companies.
