My suspicion is that you'd be lucky if there are only Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and sleep issues.

Considering that the GPU is completely properietary, without specs, and only used in a couple models, it's highly unlikely you'll ever see any driver in a working state for it. I mean, etnaviv and the like do exist, but it's definitely NOT in the same state as say intel or amd.

And if there's any type of roadblock (say signed firmware like nvidia) then goodbye.

I like the idea. Some thoughts;

I think you'll need a threshold of when a HN post is worthy of a summary (e.g. number of points), and a way of tracking work like a backlog of posts that are awaiting a summary to ensure you don't have duplicated work and to keep track of work volume.

Once a summary is posted, any comment afterwards won't be included in the summary. You'll need to decide if a summary of comments is written a longer time after the the summary of the post is written to get a good sample of the comments.

A summary will need to be completed soon before the peak of popularity to ensure maximum exposure and effect.

I am curious as well. Since it's not a typical work for hire relationship, it could be a (modest) percentage of profits, or a business contracting fee of ~$500k or so.
>this means "please wait" for the rest of the world

In UK+Ireland I don't think anybody would understand anything from that gesture (certainly to everybody I've just surveyed)

Here, "please wait" would be a palm held up flat, without the fingers/thumb spread ("stop", which would be what I'd expect at an official checkpoint) or the more polite informal version, a raised hand towards the person with index finger raised and usually with a nod (this is what I'd expect at a restaurant or an office for "I see you but I'm busy right now")

Zelle[1] has 0% fees, is instantaneous, and requires only a bank account that the business likely already has.

> ...and Australia

Australia's version is called Osko[2], which is built on NPP[3].

So to make a true apples-to-apples, practical comparison, you have to look at the time, cost, and ease-of-use of transferring USD or AUD.

I don't know of any USD => crypto => USD that's faster, cheaper, or easier to use than Zelle, let alone all three.

I haven't used Osko, but my uninformed guess is that it's similar.

IIRC, over here, banks are required to give employees at least one two-week contiguous block of leave, during which they can't get into the office, use work systems, or log in remotely.

I don't know how it happens. I asked my manager (also one of the founders) about it once, he shrugged, and said "I could make something up that sounds convincing, but to a large extent I think it's about being lucky."

Mostly cases where businesses rely on individuals instead of process.

As a simple example, it's very easy, when starting a company, to issue personalized email addresses to early employees and then people communicate using those email addresses. It's perfectly fine to email the CTO at first-name@example.com, because everyone knows everyone else and it works.

As you grow large, it becomes important for people to address roles rather than individuals. This way, if people leave their role, they can (semi-transparently) be replaced by someone else taking that role who will then continue to receive all of the same emails, be able to respond to them, etc. So then it becomes important to have e.g. a cto@example.com address. When the CTO takes a vacation, their email gets routed to someone taking over their duties, you don't need to communicate to everyone to start emailing somebody-else@example.com instead.
>you'd probably want a breakdown of what percentage are foreigners versus residents, and that's not available as far as I'm aware.

That data is available here: https://www.covid.is/data

Data on vaccinations is here: https://www.covid.is/statistical-information-on-vaccination

Even though half of hospitalisations are vaccinated people, it is important to consider that we are now 71% vaccinated (84% for people over 12 years old). This means you have roughly a 1:25000 chance of ending up in hospital if your vaccinated, versus a 1:3000 chance if you're unvaccinated.

In terms of infections the present wave is far worse than earlier waves, but our hospitals are handling it, and as a result we haven't needed as strict lockdown measures. I imagine most other countries will take the same approach, and as a result COVID will become a part of human society as a season flu.

If you aren't willing to get vaccinated, I suggest you get COVID as soon as possible, as prognosis gets worse with age and COVID isn't going away. More so, as someone who has had both COVID and a vaccine, I strongly suggest just getting vaccinated. One day of feeling glum is far better than a multi-week flu and months of lingering effects (sensory, physical and mental).

Solar power has all sorts of downsides when you start looking at who makes it, the complexity of the process, it's reliance on fossil fuel, its intermittence which brings up a whole new problem of mass scale storage, etc

Headlines like this make it seem like "some countries are making progress, why is anyone not following faster?".

Solar strikes me as a bad direction to go in. There is no magic want for energy that doesn't impact our environment. The most impactful, and actually sustainable approach is to reduce our usage of energy.

Ban crypto mining waste for instance. That's 10% of global electricity these days. That's a whole lot of power plants you suddenly don't have to build using "green" energy that's nothing but green.

Exactly. When your main exposure to other cultures is via tabloid media versions of those cultures, it's not surprising that you believe strange things about them.
Just a thought, what if Australia had ways to use excess power and export the result. e.g. refining ores and exporting metals instead of exporting ores. You don't need to literally "export electricity" in order to leverage a surplus of energy, for export.

But the point is that Apple's software that runs on the M1 is absurdly better than the competition, especially on the M1, because both the macOS software and the M1 hardware were designed to work together hand-in-hand fast and efficiently.

So even if you could get all the hardware drivers working properly, Linux/Gnome still will lose out to macOS because that hardware simply wasn't designed for that software, and that software simply wasn't designed for that hardware, while macOS and M1 were both designed to work together.

But Gnome was originally designed to run on X-Windows, whose hardware model is a MicroVAX framebuffer on acid.

https://donhopkins.medium.com/the-x-windows-disaster-128d398...

The color situation is a total flying circus. The X approach to device independence is to treat everything like a MicroVAX framebuffer on acid. A truly portable X application is required to act like the persistent customer in Monty Python’s “Cheese Shop” sketch, or a grail seeker in “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” Even the simplest applications must answer many difficult questions:

WHAT IS YOUR DISPLAY?

display = XOpenDisplay("unix:0");

WHAT IS YOUR ROOT?

root = RootWindow(display, DefaultScreen(display));

AND WHAT IS YOUR WINDOW?

win = XCreateSimpleWindow(display, root, 0, 0, 256, 256, 1,
BlackPixel(
display,
DefaultScreen(display)),
WhitePixel(
display,
DefaultScreen(display)));

OH ALL RIGHT, YOU CAN GO ON.

(the next client tries to connect to the server)

WHAT IS YOUR DISPLAY?

AND WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR?

favorite_color = 0; /* Black. */
/* Whoops! No, I mean: */
favorite_color = BlackPixel(display, DefaultScreen(display));
/* AAAYYYYEEEEE!! */

(client dumps core & falls into the chasm)

WHAT IS YOUR DISPLAY?

display = XOpenDisplay("unix:0");

WHAT IS YOUR VISUAL?

struct XVisualInfo vinfo;
if (XMatchVisualInfo(display, DefaultScreen(display),
8, PseudoColor, &vinfo) != 0)
visual = vinfo.visual;

AND WHAT IS THE NET SPEED VELOCITY OF AN XConfigureWindow REQUEST?

Credit where it’s due though: the headline alone is (in a good way) surprising news considering how pro coal Australia is
Interview with Jim Anderson, CEO of Lattice Semiconductor
"The west" in that headline is a very general synecdoche. The article makes it clearer: "US and British leaders", surrounded by much text.

IMO that by diffusing the blame onto a wishy washy "the west", the article helps avoid any learning.

IMO also: Learning does happen elsewhere. I am familiar with the internal politics of two other countries. The US will find it more difficult to persuade both of those to join its next sally, whenever and wherever that will be.

No, M1 is clearly slower in multi-core (to be fair, it has fewer threads). Not sure where you got your numbers from. 5900HX gets about 7800 in Geekbench 5, and the difference is much larger in some other multi-core tests. For example Cinebench gives 7800 for M1, 13800 for 5900HX.

This analysis doesn't limit it to immediate neighbours. If it was doing that it'd need to include the Baltic states too and when you do that Sweden goes back to being average.

In reality this argument is a form of motivated reasoning. It boils down to, if you ignore all the countries that disprove the hypothesis behind lockdowns and take a tiny number that did better than Sweden, then search backwards for some justification as to why this cherry picking is legitimate, you get a 'neighbours hypothesis' that unfortunately has to ignore some of the neighbours.

It's just rationalizing by people who cannot accept that lockdowns failed, because if they accepted that they'd have to accept that academic expertise in general has failed. And not only failed. Failed in ways that were destructive and damaging.
Yeah i think technicaly it could work. But I actually think that is a terrible idea. Humans have a lot less self control then we think. This will lead to many false alarms.

No, it was an extreme example to better express the issue: We do not know why they're not vaccinated. We do not know their medical history. This isn't a randomized controlled trial.

More realistic example: According to this study [1], 4.0% of US citizens (>80) are immunocompromised. We know that ~5.8% of Israelis (>80) are not vaccinated. Is it possible that the unvaccinated in this age cohort have more serious pre-existing conditions and therefore had a way higher chance of being hospitalized? We don't know.

Is it wrong to ask for better data? We're capable of extracting the smallest detail from a person randomly scrolling through a news feed but we can't get proper stats on hospitalized people? Come on.

It can be good if you use it right.

I like to create lists so I can segment the content I consume. There are a lot of really cool "communities" and users on Twitter tweeting about practically every niche thing you might be interested in (often in real time). I have lists for different tech content (security, web dev, etc), finance, art, psychology, personal friends, and a few political ones (local, political memes/jokes, interesting political commentators).

When politics gets too toxic and I can mostly filter out that side of Twitter by just checking the lists that focus on tech, etc. I wouldn't recommend just going to the homepage and seeing what Twitter feeds you. I also wouldn't recommend reading comments or commenting as people are very cruel in comments on Twitter and rarely respond to anything in good faith.

The reason I personally still use it is because I've found it very good at proving a feed for the latest news within certain niches. I really value this with tech news and finance news. Other places like HN can be good for reading about the latest tech news too, but generally things only get picked up here when a media outlet has reported on the story and although the quality is higher a lot of it is dated and can be years old -- it's still interesting, just different.

So construct a government where individuals are not secured or compromised their liberty depending on the outcome of an election.

While I think quite a few people use this, I question the actual benefits. People often argue with performance, but unless you spend a lot of work into doing things right, the general "C backend" won't outperform even simple things like nodejs ... at least once you reach the realm of ten-thousands of requests per second coupled with more than just a static page, "hello world" and a for-loop. Same goes for the "DBMS" part of things, being the bottleneck for the majority of real world applications anyway.

I think the best use case would be some static content delivery coupled with a few dynamic pages and APIs backed up by SQLite here and there ...

Some references would be cool I guess. Anyone?
Interesting take on things. It's unclear to me that this isn't about diet and genes. But, if it is density we also have to accept it's heading to an asymptote, and so eg building everything the height of Burj Khalifa won't make us live to 250.
NN Encryption? “Brainboxing”
Train a neural net to recognize a (sequence of?) numbers. Train an association of an input (sequence of?) numbers to output numbers. The private key is the input, the actual key is the output.

Reverse engineering a neural network is nearly impossible. It is effectively a forward-only black box.
Layers, such as pooling, lose information which makes reversal impossible.

Indeed, you don't even have to use numbers as input. Any image, such as a particular page in a particular book, or a picture of your favorite cat, can be the input key. The "real key" is hidden in this black box, encoded in the weights. Without knowing the input to the black box you can't extract the key needed to decrypt messages.

Thus, you can send someone the neural net. It will output garbage except when shown the chosen input image.

Multiple neural nets can be trained off the same input image. It is trivial to feed "noise" into the training data so the individual hidden weights are different.

Then you can send many people "personal" neural nets, all using the same input key but hiding unique encryption keys. When their personal neural net is shown their personally chosen input, you get the correct encryption key as output.
