Bravia TVs are calibrated properly out of the box (to around the same level of quality as Apple displays, which is generally unheard of in TVs), never have to be connected to the Internet, and do 4K/60 content just fine. I’ve had a selection of them over time and have no fuss with them. They are smart TVs, which could be unforgivable, but I find it’s irrelevant.

They don’t necessarily all do HDMI 2.1 / LRRM / 120Hz gaming, but nothing really does well at that yet other than monitors. They support firmware updates by USB stick which I am currently not applying, as the latest update for my older model has a different set of compromises that I choose not to accept. My friend uses one of my prior older models as a gaming monitor.

There might be cheaper TVs but the calibration and ability to set aside the smarts has been excellent for me.
No one was demanding those hard drives, Toshiba was close to shelving it before going into production. Jon Rubenstein convinced Steve Jobs to invest in them for the music device they were building and 8 million was given to Toshiba so they can start producing these drives.
After spending endless hours in learning the ins and outs of Emacs and starting to learn Elisp, I come to realize that Emacs‘ tinkering-to-doing ratio is too high. I need tools that get out of my way. Emacs can get a hobby or an obsession. If you have nothing else to do, fine, spend your time sharpening the saw instead of cutting wood.

I turned to VS Code + PyCharm for coding. And use Emacs for editing text only. And for that, it is excellent.

What I love about Emacs most is the macro recorder. Whenever I have to transform text, I record my steps in Emacs‘ macro recorder and replay the steps. That’s like magic. I wouldn‘t even bother writing a Python script for these one-off transformations.
By doing math. Khanacademy has a lot of higher than highschool math courses you could check out.
Agreed. I liked fish last time I tried it (probably over a decade ago), but bash scripting is what I'm familiar with and it's just so convenient in day-to-day usage to be able to throw out one-liners for mundane things and then have them permanently searchable in my history.
At right around the time that was published in 2009, I bought a new 17 inch MacBook pro and a $350 Intel 80GB 2.5" SATA ssd, and stuck the SSD into the position formerly occupied by the dvdrw in a special holder. Worked great as boot drive.
People are different and what is easy for some, might be difficult for others.

One thing which is special about social skills is, that most people who are "naturally" good in it just do this unconsciously.

E.g. people who don't know how to read body language still do it. For them it manifest in a "feeling". Like "i like this guy" or "this situation is uncomfortable".

But s.o. who learned it can do more. Say you are in a job interview and after answering a question you see the interviewer touching his mouth and crossing his arms. You know he didn't like the answer and you know why your feeling uncomfortable (It's not going well).

You can also make people like you, by mirroring their body language. People usally take a defensive posture (crossing arms/legs, holding a glass with both hands, etc.), when talking with s.o. they don't know well. Make them comfortable by doing s.th. similiar. Later on you can open your posture (e.g. unfolding your crossed arms and showing your palms) and they will naturally follow you. (called "pacing and leading" and often used by psychologists).

Also mention that most people think doing this is immoral per se, but i think it depends for what you use it. If you do it to make a woman feel comfortable, where is the difference in beeing a gentleman?
I really hate all salesman from the depth of my hearth though (i recognize their shady tricks)

TLDR

If you somehow missed the opportuinity to learn that irl, i recommends study a bit psychology. Watching a tv show like "how i met your mam" might also be a good idea, because it probably even influcend the unwritten rules in real society.

If this question was a camouflaged "How to lay girls?" then there is always the guide by ross jeffries. But this is really shady and had those people invested a tiny amount of their effort in analysing their own inferiority complexes, they would be probably happier...
On the 2nd point, this talk mentions scientific findings that were unpublished because they were too dangerous; and it had nothing to do with political correctness: https://www.ted.com/talks/zeynep_tufekci_we_re_building_a_dy...

I think the popular Nim language also does this.
And the paper has a QR code and the checking application makes a request to a state-run server with its data (including owner ID).
> or K&R to every C program.

That's actually doable... ;) K&R is rather terse, what, 1/5 of Stroustrup or something like that. But I digress.

More on topic: there's also a class of programs that DO come with a book attached - or rather, multiple books, for every level; if not included outright in the distribution then at least linked to in the "learn" tab on a homepage. They're called programming languages. So, it can be done. That's all I want to say.
So in a replay attack all the communication is recorded including the session keys, and whilst primes are infinite dont dispute this, where the theory (human) and the practical (cpu's) differs is the limitations in the machine hardware, in much the same way Spectre and Meltdown exploited the hardware to obtain secrets.

The point about the webserver was using methods to work out what the underlying webserver and version was and potentially the OS, after all not much point trying to decrypt an algo that is not used on the webserver, but metadata is given out by many webservers to suggest what type of webserver it is.

And then there is education, we see people believe many things because this is what's taught to them, we see this cognitive dissonance with religious people but also in "educated" people like some GP's or academics because its their life's work and I'm sure cryptography has consumed many hours of people thinking things through, without much time spent on other areas of weakness like the limitations of a cpu and memory registers.

After all how many crypto experts are fully conversant with the inner workings of a CPU design? If they were conversant with CPU designs would Spectre and Meltdown have been found years earlier?

Admittedly side channel attacks but I did say in my original post "Whilst theory is different in practice due to machine limitations" and this is the thing is the current implementation of cryptography on devices suitable when considering the design of CPU's and devices?
Why are you using the pejorative term "propaganda"? It is communication.

I don't think you're confused about the data. I don't think I'm confused about the data. I don't think anyone is confused about the data.

To me the important thing is the data, I don't care if they call it "burning hot death" in the chart. You're focusing on a word that I don't care about, and that is used in accordance with its technical meaning. And you're ignoring the data and distracting from the issue it represents.

To convince me I'm wrong on the usage of the word anomaly - please find the etymology of this word as used here - I had a look and couldn't, but don't really think it matters enough to search for why this word was used in the first place.

But really, I think you're deliberately trying to detract from what the data shows by focusing on something irrelevant.
It's a Big Bang Theory reference. Specifically to the character Sheldon, it's his catchphrase.
I was shopping for TV a few months ago, and spent weeks researching. My conclusion is that most online the reviews are useless, all the quality comparison is something I would never notice myself. I went with TCL 50" Class 4 Series 4K UHD Smart Roku TV, Model: 50S435, and I love it. Cheap, roku works great, quality is great, I don't use cable, I am streaming from Netflix only.

Ask HN: What are the early signs of singularity?
Post singularity, people (?) might look back and attribute certain events as a major indicator of the impending singularity. But for someone without the hind sight, looking into the future, what types of indicator would you look for? Also assuming that even if singularity is achieved (?) at some locations, the effects would take times to spread. Say it's already reached at the opposite corner of the world. How long would it take for it to be apparent and what are some indicators? Also, happy thanksgiving.
They're pretty easy to verify. Find the average difference in performance at a given TDP and substract the efficiency improvement, this breaks down in single-core somewhat but not in multi-core.

There is very little speed differential between desktop and mobile single-core performance nowadays. The M1 Max is nowhere even close to the best desktop systems which would be the 3990X or the upcoming 5990WX. Despite having much faster RAM - which is the biggest reason why it can perform so well in FP workloads - in integer workloads it cannot compete. I'm citing Anandtech on their data, not on their opinion.

I'll give them credit for investing a lot in 5nm.

On a whole what I found more interesting here was just the techniques they came across through fuzzing that had some impact. Yes its interesting to see the specific combinations that were impacted, but in the real-world there are so many other potential combinations.

The dominate method for request smuggling as of the last few years has been with `Content-Length` and `Transfer-Encoding`. What I found most interesting and the biggest take-away as someone who has worked doing web-app assessments is more just the attacks that they found to work and cause problems.

I mean the details about particular server pairs having issues is great information, as is the fuzzing setup (great use of differential fuzzing) but I think more important is being able to take these potential attack avenues that they had success with and running them against your own deployments. Given how many applications internally are running their own stacks there is still a lot of room for potential issues. I can imagine people running with some of these for bounties in the near future.

A brief summary of the manipulations they had some success with are on pages 7-8. Though if you don't feel like reading, the "headline" version of the list gives you a pretty decent idea of what was having an impact:

Request Line Mutations

- Mangled Method
- Distorted Protocol
- Invalid Version
- Manipulated Termination
- Embedded Request Lines

Request Headers Mutations

- Distorted Header Value
- Manipulated Termination
- Expect Header
- Identity Encoding
- V1.0 Chunked Encoding
- Double Transfer-Encoding

Request Body Mutations

- Chunk-Size Chunk-Data Mismatch
- Manipulated Chunk-Size Termination
- Manipulated Chunk-Extension Termination
- Manipulated Chunk-Data Termination
- Mangled Last-Chunk

And a bit of self-promotion but we talked about this paper on Monday on the DAY[0] podcast I cohost (24m53s - 35m30s) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmOuX8nHZuc&t=1497s
Depending on how clear of a display you want, a projector may be a good option.

We have a small shelf in our bedroom with an Apple TV, a HomePod mini, and a $90 projector from Best Buy. It projects to the large wall across the room from our bed and is perfect for night time or late evening viewing. I’m sure you could put together a similar system using either SD cards or streaming from your Plex or whatever media server you use.

Is this a corporate job, or do you work for a school district or some other kind of entity?

I ask because much of the advice here is assuming the corporate world - and if that is true, it is all mostly valid advice. But what you are describing is fairly typical for IT in small government environments (schools, libraries, etc.)

So I'll give a little advice in case you are not in a corporate world -- let your boss know you are in a bit over your head and need some help with learning and training to fill in knowledge gaps. In non-corporate orgs, this is completely normal - the IT folks there work what they know, and ask for help when they don't know. They also tend to network with each other - maybe the guy who runs the library in the next county over has some different skills, and you can cross-train each other, etc.
AMD is much smaller in comparison, and their main focus with ROCM is to get pytorch and tensorflow to work with enterprise GPUs. Everything else is long tail in terms of scale.
LG OLED without question. Best picture quality, remote and smart features work well.

I find the smart features on this TV to be the best I’ve seen, compared to Samsung or Sony.

They aren’t intrusive and the app selection is pretty great. Also has native support for network storage with good codec support.

You can disable WiFi and not connect the Ethernet if you want it to be fully disconnected.
Why not skip the calcination bit? NaOH solution will directly absorb CO2. The chlorine byproduct issue is not trivial, though.
Anecdotal evidence, but most Gen Z folks I know (I'm Gen Z) either don't know how to use crypto or think it's a scam similar to Forex.

I'm wondering about the audience they surveyed.
I got the 43" from the same line a couple years ago, and it's been likewise excellent.
I submitted it, I'm also in the UK, they're not new to me I just think they're great and should be more widespread. Nothing against them in our electrical standards - you can even have BS1363 sockets as 2U modules in them.

You're right that integrated non-modular plates (even where they have USB or AV stuff) are more common though. Just undeservedly IMO.
how do you make sure all smart TV features are disabled? can you simply not connected it to the internet?
You only have to look at pro racing to know it’s not common that tyres explode at high speed. Other bad things happen! But tyres only really go on descents when rim brakes melt carbon rims. That’s why many riders used alloy rims in mountains until relatively recently .. when high temp epoxies became more widely available.
It doesn't seem like many universities do it like that at all anymore. MIT's old comp sci curriculum used to be great. I've since seen them replace teaching fundamentals on lisp with python. My guess is that python is taught so that they can stuff their curriculum with buzzwords.
What do you use as your STB for YT, Netflix, etc?

I use the built-in apps mostly because I'm still a bit paranoid about burn in.

If I pause Netflix/Plex/AppleTV+ on the TV, it will aggressively pop up an ugly screen saver quickly. When I pause Stube-Next on a FireTV stick, even with the firetv's settings set to the shortest screen saver timeout, I'm a bit paranoid because it takes minutes for the screensaver to kick in. So I'll often switch away from the HDMI input into an on-TV app when I'm watching YT from the firetv just for peace of mind when answering the door or fixing a snack..
There are formal grammars. The formal grammars are really hard to understand in my humble opinion. The best examples I think are COQ (see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coq) and Lean (see e.g https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_(proof_assistant) ).

Yes, we are too lazy to be 100% formal and many times we are too lazy to be mostly formal. This is mostly because we target our writing to other mathematicians who have no need to see every small step and including every step makes the proofs long. On the other hand, I do feel that generally speaking mathematicians should show more of their work and skip fewer steps.

I find your statement "People can't be bothered to be exact about things because being exact is hard and people avoid hard work." to be very true. Being precise is difficult.
Lecture powerpoints are bad everywhere since you are meant to listen to the lecturer speaking about them, they aren't meant to be read independently like this.

Try to understand programming based on a programming lecture powerpoint, it is usually impossible.

Edit: Also you can't write code for what he is talking about in that lecture. Code cannot deal with infinities or continuous values. You'd get approximations which isn't the same thing, then you'd need to prove that those approximations are good enough which would have to be done without code anyway.
Not because tyres explode tho
But there wasn't and will never be any overstock at Apple since Tim Cook started working there. In 2008 Apple still had Texas warehouses with old beige Mac but all of the Mac produced in the Tim Cook era do not last more than a 2 - 3 weeks in a warehouse. This includes components and this is why every January after an iPhone release the business journalists start predicting Apple's downfall because they lower their part orders for display, memory, etc. They don't let any of that stuff sit in a warehouse... EVER.
But not because the (incredibly lightweight and skinny) tires failed due to speed.
CED saga for me.
It would probably be easier for a new company to decide to do this than an existing company with bureaucratic cruft. And it's not like Sunbeam has any critical IP rights here, since the design is from many decades ago.

My grandparents gave me one of these and I used it for a decade or so before it stopped working. I considered trying to fix it, but with little kids on the horizon, I was concerned about the safety issues (unlike new toasters, these old ones can electrocute you). If I'd known I could have had my old one retrofitted and made safer, as other oommenters have pointed out, I'd have done that instead. At least I got 50 bucks for it on ebay though!
Woah! I didn't even notice it was him. Most of the accepted answers relating to anything Deflate are by him on Stack Overflow, so I shouldn't be surprised.
You don't really have to. Try DoomEmacs or something similar, very little tinkering needed to get going.
Actually, in the last few years this gripe has gone away, at least for me. Once they added proper support for `VAR=val cmd && othercmd`, I haven't run across any one-liners that didn't work in fish.

> 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.

Programs don't do this, why do you expect every math paper to do it?

> Link to external resources with explanations!

This is called a bibliography, every book that isn't so old that it is the definition and paper includes one. In many textbooks there are also appendices which cover (some of) the foundational material. And most include sections (often in the front and back covers) that show the symbols and their names, if not their definitions.
I have wondered about this. It would likely start out very expensive but could get cheaper over time if it got any traction. Would it ever be as cheap as the current crop? Unlikely.

The initial market would definitely be limited to those with an appreciation for the concept and the funds to support it but it seems possible that after establishing a niche brand known for quality and reliability you could expand beyond the early adopters.

It would be an expensive experiment though.
why post this here?
I'd say out of that list flat earthers have better scientific rigor (too much emphasis on direct sensory experience), just wrong conclusions...
You can, but I use the built in smart tv apps because they are the best at preventing burn in, which i'm paranoid about.

I'm away from home, and I set it up nearly 2 years ago, but I recall there are settings to disable tracking/targeting, etc. And I recall the opt in for voice search was so scary that I've never enabled it.
I'm not saying that the mitigation shouldn't be done. What I am against is doing the side mitigation instead of going for the core problem solutions, or delaying them because your budget is focused by now on them, or first this, then that.

If you have an bad infection on one leg, taking an aspirin to lower your fever is a mitigation, but if you don't address the infection, you will lose your leg or your life. And taking an aspirin is fast, simple and painless, if it were complicated, and expensive and time consuming you should probably address the infection first, unless the fever was already life threatening.
Sure, but there is where the 2nd copy comes into play in the 3-2-1.

3 Copies, 2 Media, 1 off site.

I think the GP post is criticizing the lack of documenting syntax. Math papers tend to document semantics, whereas the understanding of the syntax by the reader is presumed.

ATI/AMD has always had finicky drivers and engineering decisions IMO.

I guess on the plus side they at least have a more open driver than NVidia (AFAIK nouveau doesn't get any support from them, at least AMD tries to maintain their open source driver on some level.)

And yet, every time I've tried an ATI/AMD Card, the driver experience even in windows has been pretty off-putting, and while I suppose we are finally at a point where one is less likely to be impacted by their issues with 768p overscan on TVs, I wonder what zany quirk they'll come up with next.
I think it's important to be thankful only about stuff that are not descriptive but took some agency to make happen. To keep rehashing that we should be thankful that sun exists or that earth has a magnetic core to shield us against the nasty solar flares, etc. fall in the first category and devalue the idea of thankfulness. Because you wouldn't be here to talk about it otherwise.

So let's show thankfulness for things that took agency to make happen so we learn to do more of those things.
"There shouldn’t be an expectation of privacy in public spaces."
Perhaps not to some degree, but facial recognition takes it up a notch.
And ultimately what we should or shouldn't expect is up to us right?

Suppose someone found a way to passively and remotely read people's minds. And as a result you can't go anywhere in public unless you were OK with your thoughts being captured and recorded. You could see how that would suck right? And the potential for abuse? Might be great for the police I suppose, and would probably lower the crime rate. But would you want to live like that? Facial recognition isn't that extreme of course, but they are both in the privacy ball park, at least in my opinion. So maybe its just a matter of degree...like what you're willing to put up with / feel comfortable with.
Again, I agree and empathize.

But the counter argument would be "Harassed by a doorbell, how so?" and "I have a right to protect my property and my family. My camera allows this to happen."

Unless the legal definition of "in public" changes, the surveillance will continue.
