This seems to be the story of the times - swapped to google photos over my old huge manual photo collection - gain: awesome exciting “1 year ago today” and collages my wife loves, lose: all privacy, 15gb limit, compressed photos, the list goes on.

Smart TVs mostly just smart enough to show more ads, SaaS tools for work that when the internet connection flakes the entire office twiddles their thumbs, chat apps (everyone uses!) with no e2e encryption.

In some ways tech has gotten better but in many ways it’s far worse now than it ever was.

Not acceptable indeed…
In washing machine land, Miele and a few others make these. They are indeed very, very expensive. Mind you, adjusted for inflation, so were the old ones; there has never really been an era of cheap top-quality appliances.
Is there any particular topic? I agree with other posters though that the notation is a short hand for the concepts and you need the concepts, not the notation.
interesting, didn't know about the booking experiment

but as i was trying to explain, they missed the point and just created frustration for users

didn't want my article to sound like bullshit, that's why i built a poc to try and explain that it's not about having chatbots, but having entire components in a chronological order of the interactions with a website

in your case the booking details would be easily accessible just by scrolling up for instance
Those are probably illegal, and a general problem with anything you might buy from Ali Express etc.
Oh man I really wish they held tighter. The USB-C cable that I charge most of my devices with is constantly popping out of the power brick. It’s an Apple brick and a Belkin cable, so certainly not the cheapest stuff.

I am considering epoxying the damned thing in!
Many countries/languages use versions of “The US” and USA to avoid confusing the US with America. So it’s only reasonable that we make the distinction for Europe and the EU.

The problem is the there’s no specific term for the people living in either the US or the EU, so we “wrongly” use Americans and European.
It seems to have passed a (local, at least) hype peak.

But that is very much not the same as dying out.
I don't know how but the submitter used the GitLab sign-in URL. This is the correct link: https://gitlab.com/aerique/dnsdist-ens#querying-the-ethereum...
ZSH plus oh-my-zsh cd’ing into a git repo with large LFS files will hang your shell even on very fast NVME storage.
My routine for most sites: hit Reader Mode, reload. Quite often it's (still) a script that truncates the article and shows the paywall prompt.
In this case, I don't think this is true. Tcl saw enough use that they couldn't just axe it. For example, you might be surprised how many times Tcl snippets running on IOS are in the critical path of phone calls.
There's also no Windows support, so you cant use it to make consumer programs, or on your gaming rig without dual boot. It's made for data centers with bespoke software, not really for distribution.
Maybe you should have read the article, which mentions that the Chinese company producing the toy just shipped a song from a Polish rapper without permission and is probably going to get sued for copyright infringement.

Hope Hacker News didn't set fire to the couch!
Probably little for anyone who has any shell “set up well”. Just if they are tired of spending time tweaking things and would rather more capable out of the box experiences so they can benefit from features added to the core shell without hunting for plugins.

I use Fish, however I also use Vim and do the plugin hunt there. I enjoy it, but I’m glad to not be doing it for both my environments.
Having to choose between Steam support and ROCm drivers is a pain - it stops tinkering.

Almost everyone on Linux will have experience of breaking their drivers at some point, and installing another alternate set is a big risk.

It seems silly to not have OpenCL and HIP access without having to use this alternate stack.
Just this year. Do you need to see everyone's CV to read their comments online?
Huh, I assumed those would be soldered on or otherwise baked into the chip
Advocating for better healthcare and social security borders on sociopathic lack of empathy? I guess we’ve moved on from calling Europeans communists.

Perhaps you’re just an awful person?
Sure but I imagine it has resulted in a lot of exposure for Technology Connections.
The new luxury vacation: being dumped in the middle of nowhere
I have a Tour Easy with a Tongshen TZSD2 mid drive with the open source firmware. Total cost of the conversion was about $1200 USD. Even when the electric assist was still limited to about 20mph, my commuting time went down my about 30% due to the higher speed on hill climbs. And I arrived at work without sweating to much!

Delimiting it has allowed me to take a shorter route where I need to merge into 45mph traffic for a short stretch.
Google, probably not. Majority of online retailers, alex_c is probably correct. Same with many sites' internal search.
Two titles that I hope everyone reads and are not on the list:

A couple years ago I went for a setup with a regular (gaming) computer screen, speakers, a TV tuner (DVB-T in, HDMI out), and a computer at once, but it works without a computer as well. Noname TV tuners tend to be pretty "dumb", it seems: neither requiring Internet access, nor showing ads.

Though not sure if you even need a TV tuner; sounds like just a computer screen and speakers may suffice.
Similar issue with smartphones. They used to basically crash when faced with a large table. I assume the low end devices will still struggle.
Infinite Sequences: A Case Study in Functional Python
Yes, I have a degree in it.

I'd have to ask around but I know a few algebraic topologists and I'd bet that if pressed to describe their work as more-continuous or more-discrete they'd first tell you that this is a silly way to classify subfields in math and then they'd says it's probably more on the discrete side since it's all about categorizing topological spaces based on whether they have certain discrete properties:

- separable
- countable
- metric
- compact

Sure the spaces themselves might be continuous, but topology is for telling those spaces apart based on where and how continuity fails. It's a discretization of things formerly suspected to be the the same.
This was also put forth by Pascal: "All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone."

Of course, some people would probably quote Shaw in response "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man." and say that this doesn't always manifest as a bug, rather a feature.
If anyone is looking to buy one, I recently bought a restored Sunbeam T-20 from timstoasters.com and love it. He even replaced the plug with a polarized one.

Just so I get this straight - you're saying let's wait until people get injured and only then regulate this?
The two of them are surprisingly related. What counts as "wealth" depends on what people value and how that is produced, and epoch-changing discoveries, by definition, change what people value and how that is produced. Ignore them and you're forever chasing the trend and making other people rich as you buy into the assets they created.
You seem to be vaguely gesturing at some kind of abuse but have provided no evidence. Even if a tool is abused in isolated incidents, it can be useful to society overall.

> But, when pressed, no one can point to cases where this actually helped.

This seems like an early dismissal. It is obvious how facial recognition can help locate suspects for some crime more easily than a police officer hoping to randomly find the suspect while driving around.

> The only realistic way to counter this

Counter what exactly? This just feels like FUD.

> But the police is here to protect and serve the community, at least it should be, not to oppress it.

The key question when the phrase "protect and serve the community" comes up is "which community?" and the answer is: it primarily serves the interest of the rich and powerful. If you are poor, not in the majority ethnic or in any other way not "mainstream", you have shit times ahead of you. No matter the country, the only difference between a cop in the US and a cop in the UK is better training and less reliance on guns.

Homeless, being a person of color, being LGBT, protesting the government (especially from the left wing) - all common risk factors for adverse interactions with police. If you never have had a negative interaction with police, ask yourself why and prepare for an answer you likely would not have liked to hear.

Actually, another possible convention is "I don't care about the base", as in O(n log n) or in general in most of Asymptotic Analysis. This becomes fun when people start talking about O(2^(log n)) where the chosen base becomes relevant again :)
It's interesting to see this. I feel the same way, hate card-based layouts and generally want more information density (i.e., HN or old Reddit) as opposed to what's often done now.

I intentionally put all of my Elixir screencasts on a single page without much whitespace on Alchemist Camp (https://alchemist.camp/episodes).

Meanwhile from 2022 onwards all entry to the EU from non-eu citizens will require Fingerprints and Facial scans to be saved [0].

One rule for us, one for the rest, it seems.

It’s worst because it has no intermediate state there is no guarantee for forward compatibility (backward compatibility is also kinda broken). Shipping anything with HIP will be a pain.

With CUDA you simply target a specific CUDA version and there is full forward and backwards compatibility on any hardware that supports that version.
> I get the allure of hosting something in your home, but these days when you can get a decent VPS for $10/yr it doesn’t really make sense

When you're hosting static content (like presumably this content is; it's down so I can't say for sure), you should distribute it on a CDN for $0/year. A single VPS can be overwhelmed by traffic just as your Raspberry Pi can.

Another more plausible explanation is that it's psychological. It's common among many who believe aspartame is unhealthy that it gives them migraines or headaches, but in a double-blind study, every single person who self-reported adverse reactions to aspartame were unable to do so over the course of the study. On the other hand, those who claimed sensitivity rated very high on various psychological metrics such as perceived stress and anxiety:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4364783/

This is not to say that you don't genuinely feel something and are just making it up, but that it's not a consequence of aspartame and is rooted in an entirely different phenomenon that you've associated with aspartame for one reason or another.
They have long since become disconnected from feature size. They are more just for progression/naming purposes now. I think these 2 are similar in performance with TSMC with a slight edge from memory.
On the other hand AMD has a fraction of the engineering resources Intel and Nvidia have. They need to make some choice and looking back at the last few years it seems that their choice to focus their efforts on hardware and gaming paid off.
It's a living :) I replied to someone with more details below if you're interested.
We went a little bit on that road ended up negotiating 50 rows for desktop and 30 for mobile.
Having owned a couple of Samsung TVs and done quite a bit of research, I'd say LG is the brand that I'd go for when I buy my next TV. My Samsung TV's infrared remote signal receiver broke after ~1.5 years. I had to call several times to arrange a repair person to come to my house. Guess what, the contractor they hired to send the repair person has poor organization skills--they double-booked me for appointments and yet failed to send anyone to my house. After calling Samsung customer support and chatting with their reps many times, they finally said they'll refund me the money, which I naively agreed to (they had me sign an online PDF or something). Guess what, when I bought that TV, it was ~$350 (including tax) and they issued ~$328 for me even though my Costco receipt clearly shows that it was ~$328 total (they only issued refund of the base TV price--not including the tax and such). The rep was smart in not telling me that I could have told them that I want another TV as replacement, but I was naive and after calling and speaking with them for so many times, I just wanted this ordeal to be over. The whole ordeal took ~2 months and after that, I swear myself to never buy Samsung product again.

I look into other TV brands and either they have very suspicious privacy practices (Roku and TCL) or they are made with items sourced in just one country (e.g., TCL and Hisense, which are both based in China).

That leaves me with either Sony (too pricey) or LG and LG seems like the most non-smart TV with sources all over the world (Vietnam and sometimes Mexico), as opposed to mostly from one country.
No country or region should benefit from being a reserve currency. The reserve should be sorry to say a crypto currency that can't be willy nilly printed causing pain to those that aren't benefiting from having a reserve currency.
I wonder sometimes if when Dennard scaling finally grinds to a halt, some desperate and clever individuals will switch us to trinary circuitry, for that last 37% theoretical limit.
Probably not reasonable. You will get into problems deciding whose keys to use, key distribution, people not being able to use their equipment correctly...

But banning devices from automatically posting everything to the manufacturer's computers without any user intervention is easy, and quite probably enough for the near future.

I think "useful" is doing a lot of work here. A lot of math notation exists clearly to gate keep. It's often nonsensical. It's a shame because it really makes mathematicians look bad (re:annoying) to those who can see through it. It's not hard to see through it or anything, but it is obnoxious. All you need is an english explanation of the notation, and then you're good, but often all of the sources on the topic are written in the same obnoxious babble language.

Take sequential Monte Carlo / sequential importance sampling for instance. This powerpoint on it is clownishly bad: http://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~jordan/courses/260-spring10...

This is supposed to be an algorithm implemented in code. It's essentially illegible without code examples, which it doesn't feature. Code examples tell you what the cipher signifies; at no point does the cipher provide any value to the learner. Fanciful bayes-theoretical statements and so on basically reduce to "iteratively build enlarging valid states." Given the fact that this simple statement is missing, I question if the professor has some sort of communication disorder or if they're just a troll. Similar to pomo philosophers, it's probably a mix.
Why are you telling OP what his problem is? Shouldn't you address his pain points, not your rationalization of them?

I wrote it many times already and am bit tired of it, so just a quick summary:

- programmers[1] also use cryptic notation and tend to think in concepts rather than syntax

- nevertheless, programmers spend a lot of time commenting the code, documenting it, specifying it, and so on.

- why can't mathematicians emulate it? What is so wrong about attaching additional few pages to every paper that nobody wants to do it? Pages with explanation of the syntax used, even the common bits. And you know what they could also do? Link to external resources with explanations! But no. This is not happening. Do their PDFs have a size limit or something? Is inserting a link into a paper considered some kind of blasphemy?

I don't know the reason, but in all the discussions on this topic mathematicians almost always underestimate the importance of knowing the syntax. It's much more important for comprehension than they tend to admit. And in the end they do exactly nothing to make the syntax more approachable for newcomers. And then newcomers are out-goers in a heartbeat. It's so obvious that I can't help thinking it's premeditated...

This PoC indeed only returns a wallet address but this project was spawned by typing in `vitalik.eth` in my browser's address bar and expecting to end up on a website.

If you check https://app.ens.domains/name/vitalik.eth/details

You see there's an `url` field as well so with a little extra work we could return the URL as a CNAME. Perhaps it would be better if the code would have returned that, but it is not a give that it has any contents.

This is part of the question of what an ENS name even means. A browser would be interested in the URL and a wallet client in a wallet address, etc.

My interest was in seeing how we can extend existing DNS infrastructure for accessing something new and similar.

edit: Having just read the ICANN article linked by rasengan this would at least fix the issue with end users having to customize their browser or DNS resolver.

Looks like someone forgot to delete a DNS entry after decommissioning a server. Bad on behalf of gov.uk, however you'd think AWS would at least auto-delete the CNAME (charts.dft.gov.uk.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com) after the server was released, so that it points to nothing...

Does anyone know why quality e-bikes are so hugely expensive? I'd like one, but I wouldn't be comfortable leaving it anywhere due to risk of theft.

A good quality ordinary bicycle is around £1,000. Spend much more and maybe it's lighter, or you get a fancy style, but it won't be dramatically more reliable.

The batteries on e-bikes are surprisingly small relative to an electric car. e.g. a Kia e-Nero is 64 kWh and about £35k list price. Even the largest battery on the linked bike is 625Wh (0.625 kWh) i.e. one hundredth of the capacity of the car. So even if the cost of the Kia was all battery, the equivalent cost for the bike battery would be just £350.

Are the electric motor and the other electrical components really that expensive? What am I missing?
PHP's main problem is its very shallow learning curve.

The 5840 built-in functions provide easy ways to get many useful things done with minimal dabbling.

In other words, one can be a "scripter" instead of a "programmer", and for many projects that's 100% OK.

Other languages automatically filter out "scripters" from their field by demanding a certain level of mental abstraction to produce anything moderately useful.

While there is absolutely no difference between a good programmer using PHP, or a good programmer using any other language/environment, but there is a big difference between the median levels and below.

This in turn lowers the reputation of the field, and it becomes uncool to put PHP on one's resume, therefore the more capable programmers propagate out to other languages, which further lowers the median, etc.

This happened with Perl, too...
