Me neither. Looks like he over-escaped the URL somehow ('%2520' is escaping the '%' in what should be the space-separated URL's '%20'), and that's why you're getting that access-denied error (because the over-escaped URL doesn't correspond to an existing file). If I go to https://www.jag.navy.mil/library/investigations/IWO%20JIMA%2... directly, or try out a IA version like https://web.archive.org/web/20110716095835/https://www.jag.n... then it works.
Does anyone know if any of the current crop of standard databases make use of things like Direct IO (where available on Linux), I’ve seen some write-ups that indicate you can get eye-wateringly fast performance when combined with an nvme drive.
Luxury car brands are not major auto manufacturers by themselves, they're owned by them.

A Rolls-Royce is a BMW. My M4 had RR chimes in it's hidden configuration settings.

A Lamborghini is (usually these days) an Audi. The Urus is a Q8 and the Huracan is an R8 (or the other way around, hard to keep track at this point)

A Maseratis has an infotainment system out of a Jeep Cherokee and shares transmission bugs with a Chrysler 300

Their brand cachet doesn't matter to this conversation because they're not the ones who control its application. The "boring" parent company will.

And why will the parent company do that for their ultra-luxury brand that's all about image and not their normal cars? They won't.

So the parent company needs to have a reason to go to Tesla.

A skateboard is not just a drivetrain, it's the entire platform.

Manufacturers have just spent millions and billions in R&D to develop modular platforms that can do things like transition from ICE to BEV without feeling like an electrified ICE.

They're going to throw that away? Because their margins on batteries aren't quite as good as Tesla?

Lol if that's the case I think the last thing that helps margins is having someone else provide the whole platform.
There are many other requirements of the law. If I read correctly, it also allows any job applicant to sue in civil court, requires companies to maintain new salary records, and post all positions internally.

Which is a problem, because a no compromise BCI requires access to a large percentage of neurons with both read and write.

More realistically it requires access to every single element inside those neurons.

It's the same reason SpaceX is eating Boeing's lunch with their space program. One uses an iterative build process, and the other uses the more historical waterfall method. That's not to say waterfall didn't or doesn't have merit here, just that it seems like technology has advanced to a place where hopefully in the future we can build these things much faster and cheaper, such that the stakes aren't so high for a single unit.

Is "democratize" the hip way to spell "sell" these days?
I looked at the Wikipedia article on that ship, and several other articles, and could find no mention of that. Are you sure it wasn't the Kirov?
Looked at another way, capitalism has commoditized services that were historically unobtainable by certain classes for all intents and purposes. So now you have mediocre servicing at prices everyone can afford. You can still get expert services if you can truly pay for it, and that hasn't changed.

Making something a "human right" doesn't make it immune to the rules of scarcity. Expert services are scarce, which is why they cost more, even in socialist/communist countries. Communism is, after all, just state-owned capitalism. :) People still get rich in communist countries, experts still get outsized reward, it's just that the opportunities to get rich are constrained to the bureaucrats, and the outsized reward will either come from the system or be facilitated by a black market.

AI simply replicate existing bias the data already has. The downside is that it could amplify the bias if not done carefully; the upside is that now we can analyze the algorithm's bias and fix it, which is much harder to do to people with biases.

Wouldn't a tech company simply be a company who values technology as a differentiatior and therefore invests in building tech in-house?

If so, I feel like Netflix qualifies. For them not to be a tech company anymore, they'd need to pivot to only producing TV and Films, with outsourcing or licensing their work to a company that builds the technology to host and deliver the content to users on their behalf.

I'm not sure Netflix would be doing as well if they pivoted to that.

By having in-house technology teams that you invest in, it also means that the company is acquiring engineering and scientist talent, potentially acquiring tech patents, as well as building technological means that in-theory they could pivot to resell the tech or license it to others if they wanted, making tech not just something they invest in and use as a differentiatior, but making it an actual product or service they sell, this is what Amazon did for example.

I really don't understand how Netflix is not 100% a SaaS tech company. To say they aren't in the way the article describes is to say that no SaaS companies are tech companies which is an obvious fallacy. They have dabbled in making original content but it's far from their core business.
A majority of people there still support Putin.

And he knows that, but if he won the election with 60% of votes, it would show that there are other candidates or political parties with tremendous support. Yeah, they can exist and even win in different states across the country for different political roles.

Still, the idea that he wants to show to people is that he is supported by the majority and supported with overwhelming superiority in votes. He doesn't need fraud votes to win. He needs to fraud voting to show the dramatic differences in support.

It's all about image in people's heads.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

These are not problems with the Gemini protocol itself.

The Gemini clients that I have seen do usually allow the user to change the colours, as far as I can tell. (This is usually better than the document specifying the colours, in my opinion.)

Gemini does have a write protocol (I think it is to change "gemini:" at the beginning of the request to "titan:", add some URI parameters for the size and MIME type of the data (I think it might have been better to put those things on the next line (I am not really sure), but well, now it is what it is), and then the data to be written starting on the next line). However, for some kind of things, other protocols would be better.

For interactive fiction/text adventures (or other interactive applications), Telnet/SSH will be better than Gemini, I think. For message forums, NNTP will be better.

Gemini does have the advantage that the file format is easily readable/writable even if only treated as plain text, you do not need a software to interpret it, but that you can also use a program to interpret it too if wanted and if you do then it is still simple.

I would also propose a unencrypted variant. The differences are: The URI scheme is "insecure-gemini" for the unencrypted variant, and 6x responses are not allowed (if a client certificate is needed, it should issue a 3x to redirect to the encrypted version and then the encrypted response will be 6x).
I'm glad the fetishization of longer hours to reach arbitrary deadlines is no longer as popular as it once was and beginning to receive pushback.

Is Windows 10 really that good?

It's been some time now, but I still remember the first time I upgraded away from Windows 7 and feeling disappointed.

Since then my hardware is massively more powerful, but I'm still to be convinced my current Windows 10 setup is better than that older Windows 7 setup.
I don't think that's what's happening here. It appears there are electrodes at each extreme and intersection of each strap. The micro needles are likely part of a single electrode, with the purpose of avoiding hair, reducing electrical impedance by penetrating the outer layers of skin, and reducing motion artifact by anchoring to the skin.
Abstractions almost always end up leaky. Spark SQL, for example, does whole-stage codegen which collapses multiple project/filter stages into a single compiled stage, but your underlying data format still needs to be memory friendly (i.e. linear accesses, low branching, etc.). The codegen is very naive and the JVM JIT can only do so much.

What I've seen is that you need people who deeply understand the system (e.g. Spark) to be able to tune for these edge cases (e.g. see [1] for examples of some of the tradeoffs between different processing schemes). Those people are expensive (think $500k+ annual salaries) and are really only cost effective when your compute spend is in the tens of millions or higher annually. Everyone else is using open source and throwing more compute at the problem or relying on their data scientists/data engineers to figure out what magic knob to turn.

It namedropping LuaJIT's Dynasm at the end was funny, especially since by the time I got to it I had forgotten there was a (2014) in the title. Pleasant surprise seeing the author call it a work-in-progress :)

I recently tried using the dynasm-rs crate as a dynamic assembler for a project, and it's also really nice to use. I think something like Lisp still probably wins in terms of usability, since you can do the fancy macro abuse over your assembly DSL, but dynasm-rs was great if you just want runtime code generation without parameterize over stack offsets or something else insane like the OP.
I was skeptical that it would fail under real situations (the calculation says it's 50 requests/second). But it looks like reaching the top of HN didn't crash it.

Not telling could be a time bomb. Perhaps proactively informing companies from the start is a strategy to weed out tepid employers?

Interesting, I've never run across this term before but that's how we design electrical connectors. Ideally it should be physically impossible to connect a cable to the wrong place, via deliberately varied pin counts, polarity, keying etc.
The existence of ads as a "core" part of the Windows experience speaks otherwise.

Why are there ads in paid software? Why is Microsoft content having a separation of "serious" Windows and consumer Windows, delineated by ads and spyware?
> In a sane world, the entire description that you gave falls squarely under "generic computers doing generic computer things".

That archetype stuff is so out of the norm that it took me a long time to grok how to work with it in Unity. It's most certainly not "generic computers doing generic computer things" and I've never seen it elsewhere, so I'd guess it would be quite defensible in court especially now that they have a patent.

Not sure what you're on about, but if it's a valid concern I'd pick a better example than this specific piece of tech (granted that one tiny snippet from the patent might not portray what the tech is or how it's unique).

Edit: seems like there is some confusion here about ECS and how archetypes are implemented in DOTS. ECS and archetypes are not synonymous, so I’m not sure what to tell you when you claim they are.

But I’m also not sure how downvoting me is helping here. I guess community consensus is that archetypes and ECS are the same thing, in which case Unity will have an uphill battle ahead.
Crazy. I wonder why the ISS didn't get any cannons or missile tubes, since it seems those were de rigueur for the Soviet stations?!

Strangely, observing the universe curving back on itself is not listed.. j/k
> Regarding remote jobs and geography, there are also nexus laws to consider. Companies are sometimes only set up to have employees in certain states.

It is a true statement that there’s an extant possibility that some businesses are incapable of operating in the state of Colorado for reasons that have nothing to do with artificially depressing wages.

My comment about not wanting to work for or with these companies is due to them nakedly advertising that they’re valuing the artificial depression of wages. While it’s a neat thought that there maybe exists a universe where it’s a coincidence that “anywhere in the country but Colorado” became a common phrase in job postings, I’m not really sure why entertaining that fantasy is useful.

To clarify, I’m directly addressing clearly worker-hostile behavior that I can see happening plainly, not a theoretical that could be happening at a business inside of a thought experiment.

I doubt these businesses will suffer without my being employed with them so I don’t really care.

It's a strange yet common anecdote. I wonder if employers are thinking the grass is always greener on the other side.
It’s the database part that gets expensive for web applications. Serving up static web pages is absolutely trivial for modern servers.

The database is also the part that doesn’t easily scale, unless you pick a highly scalable database from the outset, and those have their own complexity and tradeoffs as well.

That’s why I believe every project should start with a bulletproof model of how the database will work first, then fill in the other details from there.

It’s not always as easy as picking Postgres and calling it a day, unfortunately.
Assuming you have your mental faculties completely in check, I don't see why anyone couldn't have been the text Tiger woods when born in the correct environment to be honest. Tiger woods isn't the strongest person in the world, he isn't the most flexible person in the world, and he isn't the smartest person in the world, but compared to others he has probably tens of thousands of hours on them practicing the correct things, and that is what makes him elite rather than anything about his physical body or intelligence. He actually has a pretty frail body and over his various controversies has shown remarkably poor judgement at times. You find anyone who has spent this sort of time on any activity and they have serious prowess, whether it be putting a golf ball or playing violin or running down an antelope.
This is like driving some prototype car and having the brakes go out when your tail light burns out. It's a serious concern because it's not something that should be able to happen, with a sane design. Sure, it's click-baity, but it's also insanity.

Windows 10 is better at HiDPI support, and worse at performance on low-spec hardware (from what I hear on HN, and my experience with a 5 year old laptop which I don't know if it's my machine and drivers, or Windows 10 itself).
All of the conversations I've seen about AI bias recently seem to define "bias" as "any difference between the output and the particular rightthink ordained by whoever's speaking." Nobody cares about making the AI's output correct, they just want it to agree with them.

So the glib answer is "train it on unbiased data". Depending on your philosophy, this translates either to "manually 'fix' anything you see as 'bias' in the training data", or "use a sufficient amount of entirely unmodified raw data along with an algorithm sufficiently insightful to cancel out all of the sources of inaccuracy introduced by the various sources of data and extract ground truth."

But you know if anyone ever does manage the latter, its results will still be decried as 'biased' by anyone who disagrees with them.
I think I signed myself up for more conversation by posting that. Don't think I signed anybody else up for anything, though?

I also used to think that the dystopia of the future was corporations use money, power, convenience, and AI brainwashing to control people in a democracy.

Now I am afraid, it will be something far older and far worse: just straight up state autocracy enforced by people with guns/weapons.

Look at Texas. Who cares about using differential targeting of voters when you can just disenfranchise groups that are likely to vote against you. And as January 6, came so close to showing, who care who people actually vote if you can cry “fraud” and physically intimidate the people in charge of certifying the votes.

The Chinese government isn’t intimidated by the market reach of Alibaba when they can physically threaten Jack Ma and makes sure he only does what he is supposed to.

Analogous to the xkcd cartoon and the $5 wrench, many times the tool of coercion is not some multimillion dollar GPU cluster running advanced AI, it is a 50 cent bullet.

> It's aggravating that parents are purposefully written in a language that makes it harder to read.

Legalese is a discovered language. Various phrases are reused because their meaning has been found in previous court cases. Using novel language to express an idea with an existing, court-tested alternative is begging for trouble.

Lawyers are not very expensive compared to the consequences of trying to read it yourself. This would still be true even with a less-legal-ly legalease.
Windows Terminal is arguably the only feature worth upgrading for in the last decade. I'm tempted to say two, but there were a number of important security improvements to go along with the UI regressions in that era.
