It was fair when Apple banned 3rd party home button(TouchID) replacement because it's sensor itself so it's natural that they should make tamperproof. But this case is FaceID. I'll accept they ban to replace FaceID module, but why they integrate security chip onto display module (say, most fragile part) despite it wasn't? It looks they aren't legit for me.

Does anyone here have experience trying to build a search engine, even a "boutique" one, for the web? Is it something an individual could conceivably operate on their own?
Or we increase immigration to account for falling birthrates.
I'm with him in that. And I am glad I am able to clarify this for you, Android OS is built upon a FOSS project ( AOSP ) and that is by and large the most popular OS in the world. There's ton of community projects that prove that millions use and contribute to FOSS mobile software.

Oh and there's no way in hell this corny Horizon Workrooms will ever, ever take off.

To me, Meta is a more nefarious hint at the collection and backroom sale of users' metadata.

I dunno, I've seen phones with custom Android modifications per carrier; it could be both.
Actually it’s totally reasonable. They got bad press and rebranded to seem hip and futuristic. It’s that simple
If you’re expecting something near 500, then why would you set your limit to 500. Set it towards something like 20k at least.

Or obviously if you don’t think this will be a problem, you have control to set it to uncapped.

I don’t understand what argument you have.
notmuch is great, too

Im glad he put in there that he’s not talking about mit or cmu. There is a world of difference between a cs student there and someone learning programming at the average American university.
OK, it seems that "pseudo estrogen" is the term to google for.

You can see the effects of the food industry on the debate, as almost all medical journals that mention "pseudo estrogen" mention it in the context of soy, but the Wikipedia page "Xenoestrogen" (which apparently is a scientific-sounding stand-in for the medical term "pseudo estrogen") doesn't even contain the word soy.
Every device can do things behind the users back. Intel Management Engine runs even when the computer is turned off, contains a full blown operating system and has access to tcp/ip stack.

If privacy is a concern, no device should be trusted. By device I mean anything that contains a chip.

What's worse, people might suspect their phone or PC might be leaking data to third parties, but they will be less suspecting about their TV, their fridge or their car. But since anything is becoming smart these days, one can assume that anything that runs out of electricity is a potential privacy problem.
Only goofy asocial types think that you can actually replace actual human interactions with virtual reality. Would you rather actually meet your friends, or have your virtual avatars meet up in some fake VR world?
That's one example, but they are usually an 8-bit architecture with special tamper-resistance features, similar to what's found on payment cards.
>Friends, you can meet privately

if you live close to one another. If you don't, I guess this could be interesting? I don't really see myself using it but I am so old fashioned that I prefer my laptop over my phone so I get that the world doesn't always agree with me.
If you strap enough rockets to a pig, it will fly.

If you throw enough cash at a problem, it will be "solved".

I remember google wave. Remember that? The noise it made when it came out. What a mess. And then we got slack and discord and we must admit it somewhat solves the same ideas.

So I don't know. We might very well be in VR goggles in 10 years surrounded by 25 virtual screens, 5 notification systems and parallel windows updates while bidding on a new VR background, on a NFT trading platform using some shitty cryptocurrency we've never heard of 2 weeks prior.

Or we could just be on a terminal in vim doing the same shit as today.

I only hope we have choices. Because this new internet they're trying to push is further away from RFCs and open protocols than we've ever been. And that's very sad. Our parents gave us a free internet where everything is possible, and we're doing our very best to destroy that idea to a world of wall gardens and consumerism where the very few will even know how it works.
Unfortunately, I was born into a world without FOSS phones yet where phones are mandatory. I've therefore unhappily furnished Google with more money than I'd ever have liked to, did my best to scrub the hardware of their taint, and treat it like an adversary.

Thankfully, for now, VR is not mandatory. If it becomes mandatory in the long dusk of my latter years then I will be content as a grumpy old man humbuggering about the kids with their newfangled record players.

And, yes, I am in the extreme minority. It has a negatively, and severely, impacted my social life (on top of being socially ungraceful, I have relatively far less space to ply my social wares). I'm so thoroughly radicalized that this is merely another price I'm happy to pay.

My actions don't matter to them, and I aspire to a day where their actions have a similar impact to me.
I brought up France and Venezuela as examples because they are more analogous to the US, in that they have powerful presidencies. It was to point out that the FPTP voting system is not all; more important for balancing the people against the state is the power (or lack thereof) of a parliament or congress to check the executive branch. The US is headed in a direction wherein the congress simply rubber stamps the executive of the same party; but again, to my point about Americans preferring gridlock, this is exactly why the opposition tends to gain seats in off-year elections.

And to my point about the wide range available in primaries within each party, it's exactly why longstanding politicians lose their seats to others within their own party who are more attuned to the electorate.

I think the focus on voting systems is misguided, but in any case, it's written into the Constitution and has been this way since the 1770s, and there is zero chance, ever, that the United States will adopt a parliamentary system. So the whole thing is moot. And as interesting as it is to read the opinion of America's faults from someone from a country with only one functioning political party, where all local and party elections are determined by force / kidnapping / murdering the opposition, it's tiresome to be lectured as to which system is more successful at improving people's lives or fulfilling the electorate's demands.
But there is clubhouse (presuming it’s still popular?) which has turned strangers into friends but maybe that’s because of it being pure audio and minimal interface. It’s possible someone will create a similar popular “gameplay” in vr?
I’m not sure you are reading this correctly. Is it the cost of capital rate you are hung up on? If so, how do you account for the time period between investment in a successful drug and when you start actually bringing in money? There’s a few years where you’ve put in several hundred million dollars and make zero back. You can split hairs about what the discount rate should be, but you need to account for that delay somehow. Spending $100 and making back $200 next year is very different than spending $100 and making back $200 in five years.
Related: when Peter The Great introduced potatoes to Russia (from Holland IIRC), he forgot to tell the peasants what parts were edible, and the peasants ate the poisonous above-ground bits. Looking at the comments, seems like he wasn't the only one to do this. :-)
Yes, we know unsafePerformIO exists, but nobody really uses it, it's clearly "unsafe", you can have your build chain scream at its occurrence, and... fast and loose reasoning is morally correct[1].

I'm a former Facebook employee, and also worked on VR at Google ~2015.

I don't think it's different. I think if you went back in time and asked 18 year old Zuck what the future of online interaction would be, he'd basically tell you about second life.

The only difference is that now the technology is better and enough people who are not Zuck are talking about it, so Zuck can steer the ship without everyone jumping off.
I just see it as a business opportunity. Half an hour better spend in nature than with goggles, but surely you can make good money from it early on.
Eh, I don’t know. Nothing of value was renamed — Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp are unchanged. And “Meta” is a good name for an umbrella organization, even if they drop their VR ambition entirely.
Follow the money. They profited by slowing down your old phone.

Maybe this is on purpose, but at a minimum why would they put effort into making an already sold phone keep up?
I don’t see why not. Anyone can get addicted to drugs.
My Journey from Nothing to Game Designer
Ask HN: Which posts are unexpectedly popular in your dev blog or wiki?
For example in my case, I was expecting much less attention for my "top" pages like:

- building Subversion from sources on CentOS / Ubuntu - when git supposedly ate everything

- Properly install Wampserver 3 (LAMP stack for Windows) - when WSL is so popular

- How to play around with PCem (abandoned old PC emulator) - when DosBOX does the trick almost for 99% of the cases

Yeah, perhaps it's really influenced by being linked on reddit or other sites, but you know, there is actually some more people than you thought, interested on those pages...
Aircraft will probably adopt LH2, instead, carried in tanks slung under the wings, like the engines. Or maybe with very thick wings. The LH2 will be made on the spot at the airport from power drawn from high-tension power lines to wind & solar farms.

Once the hydrogen-powered aircraft start flying, kerosene-powered craft will find it impossible to compete.
Ask HN: Interesting gopher holes?
I'm trying to find some interesting tech/science/history/literature content to follow in gopherspace. Any ideas?
It's popped up again because they made a movie out of Ready Player One, so now lots of people are talking about the VR immersive world concept after watching that movie.
Well, or you can meet privately on Zoom, or in VR if you prefer to see fake bodies instead of actual faces. I mean. My friends from around the country have a Zoom poker night every week or two which we started during the pandemic. I'd rather just see their ugly mugs and their kids in the background than sit in a fake room with a bunch of cartoon avatars.
Yes, but it's not so uncommon for "spinlocks" to evolve into not-actually-spinlocks while keeping the name. In the Linux kernel, `spinlock_t` is actually a mutex if `PREEMPT_RT` is enabled [1]. And Darwin has some code to do this in userspace [2], although I'm not sure if it's actually used.

Here is a video of their latest robot. Seems like a joke. The additional seconds taken while its thinking is time that a normal worker wouldn't waste and that is time wasted. Seem like they are using off the shelf robots and bolting on their software. Finally, the mistake GM, Ford and eventually Elon Musk made with robots is that the process needs to be designed from the beginning with robots in mind. Robots follow the BOB acronym: Blind, One-armed, Builder. Make your design so that a blind person that is one armed can do it easily or else a robot will not be able to. These guys are bolting a Robot onto existing processes and this will not work long term(I suspect this was to do cost reduction but it will cost more in the end once it fails to produce effective cost reductions)
Honestly figuring out the tooling is going to be a big thing you'll have to get used to. Eclipse with maven on linux is way easier than on windows. Dead simple even. If you're going to be building code, you'll probably be using linux to run in prod, might as well get introduced to that now in school. You have to do some extracurricular learning, but everyone has to. That's just how it all works. Java is taught because it is more C than python where you don't really have to think about how things works, you can just throw shit at the wall and it'll stick. But XX year old systems you'll be working with in the field won't be like that. so learn typed languages, learn you some nix and get used to running into frustration, because figuring things out the hard way is usually what it takes.
Simon doesn't just do types -- he knows a lot about compiler architecture and mapping execution models to efficient hardware usage, too, among other things.
Portable generators use internal combustion engines of the sort that are being prohibited.

I believe Gabriel Weinberg made DuckDuckGo and operated it mostly solo for the first few years.

Because with its long history as a food, coconut milk is widely know to be called "milk" for its colour. It was not traditionally used as a replacement for milk, it stood on its own as a food source.

These new products are designed to replace actual milk for use in consumption. So there does entail danger of confusion, hence, the restriction on calling them milk.
Ate you a city planner in Japan?

The Japanese population is declining, so not sure how it's not sustainable and Covid took many workers off from commuting.
Importing external libraries is absolutely the most frustrating part of learning a new programming language. I’m glad Eclipse handled that for me in my first few programming classes. New students shouldn’t need to get hung up on imports before they get to write a single bit of logic.
If they’re serious then they will get to have all that fun later when they are a bit more advanced.
I don’t agree with this perspective: why do entry-level students have to understand the internals behind compiling their code, and weird edge-cases like misspelling import? In my experience this is actually the stuff that hinders learning and confuses students.

The author claims that students won’t be able to do real-world programming without learning this esoteric stuff, but actually this is the exact stuff they don’t need to know: full teams can and have built huge java projects just by using the intellij project wizard and maybe a tiny bit of Gradle from stack overflow. Actually students can solve most of the author’s problems by spending 5 seconds on Stack Overflow.

I’m not saying that these more esoteric details are completely useless. Learning e.g. the difference between char and UTF8 “character” is actually pretty important so that emoji inputs don’t crash your website. But this is stuff that should come in later classes, particularly for students who are interested in those details. Not everyone needs to know it.

In fact my experience is that some colleges have the exact opposite problem: they teach students old tools and techniques which are tedious and not actually used much later on. Like writing code by hand and deducting points for syntax errors, or using some outdated framework e.g. jQuery. When I saw the title my first thought was literally “yeah stop making students use eclipse, they should be using IntelliJ!”
nothing remotely random. if you want to understand, learn to play. in about 10-15 years you could look back and laugh at your comment here. since you for sure wont do that, ill just say that basically what hees doing is phrasing all over the bar. its so funny... putting every eighth note right on the money at 300 bpm, let alone with lines that good, is so hard. very few people can do it well, and millions of people aspire to.

Yeah like, if your neural net AI model uses more power than the brain when it does MNIST, your model is wrong. Go back and try again.
The primitives being in place (virtual addresses in GPU data structures like the command lists, letting user space manage GPU memory) says nothing about there being bugs in the drivers or not.
I don't know. According to Albion's Seed, America was populated from England by four different types of people with very similar ancestry (relative to the diversity of the US today). They settled in completely different regions of the country, but they still managed to drive each other crazy with cultural differences and ultimately almost ripped the country apart.

If the people had been different skin colors but agreed about slavery, there would have been less trouble. So maybe shared values are more important.
Windows 2000 was a thing of beauty. It was Peak Gates. What do you think of SerenityOS? It's written by this guy from Apple who ended up leaving his job so he could do the same thing to Windows 2000 that Steve Jobs did to Mac OS 9. Now that's a dangerous idea.

My question with the metaverse concept is always, "Why? What's the point?"

I can think of two parties that have their own answers:

1) A certain group of people who like computers and grew up reading sci-fi think it would be cool; some even tell themselves it's very important, but for vague reasons that they can't really articulate

2) Centers of capital are interested in it as yet another platform for consumption, attention-capturing, and rent-seeking

I think Zuckerberg is both. But I'm not convinced that society at large has any real motivation to buy into something like this, unless the sheer novelty ends up being powerful enough to rope people in.

Note that a world without a "metaverse" still has a place for VR/AR. Having a complete, interconnected virtual world is not a prerequisite for all the utilities and entertainment that that hardware technology can be used for. And to me it just feels like an incredibly unnecessary layer on top, which serves no real purpose to anyone outside of those first two groups.
You've redefined general value to "durable underlying value". I'm not even sure what you would consider that to be outside of physical assets. Does GitHub have durable underlying value? I would strongly argue it does not, but it's still valuable because it provides something people find enough use for to pay money.
Kind of, but they are built around DSP architectures with dedicated hardware accelerator blocks. It's not the same thing as GNURadio.

Base stations are often built out of more generic SDR tech, and those do chew power like crazy.
If the SIM can act as a TPM for the binary blobs and report tampering, it could be the TLAs have actually been doing what they are supposed to be doing: securing infrastructure.

Tokyo is a large sprawling collection of 'centers'.. you're going to have to be more specific.

I also don’t understand the logic behind handicapping own employees. The hardware cost is really trivial. I’m in academia for years and I basically just buy my own hardware at this point. I started doing it when the associate dean of research at my university refused to reimburse me for wireless mouse and keyboard bought from my own research budget! I realized that they won’t approve anything that’s not in their standard equipment list, which has basically 2-3 Dell computers.
eSIMs are just the SIM chip implemented in a surface mount component soldered directly onto the board. The only difference is some limited parts of the cards memory are not write protected so it can be provisioned from software.
Good article and good conclusion: "Maybe the one thing we could concretely demand is that players with such significant market power do better than the current kangaroo courts that they are running right now, because due process really is a lovely thing. Especially if there are decisions that can just look you out of your life or ruin your company."

Some of you might find it interesting.
To start with, shouldn't universities just not teach programming? I'm taking a graduate class on artificial intelligence which involves coming up with a novel project and implementing it, but we have free reign to choose what tech stack we want. It's just assumed that everyone can handle picking up a new programming language if they have to, despite people in completely different backgrounds being in the course (such as my neighbor, who majored in physics)

You don't need class time to learn how to follow codecademy tutorials or to learn how to Google. You need class time to learn a bunch of theory and algorithms and higher level topics. Pointing out syntax errors is a waste of a TA's time.

We don't have addition or algebra as part of the core curriculum at univeristies, so why is basic computer competency like writing the most basic of programs or using CLIs, a part of the curriculum at a lot of schools?
