My experience is like this. I can visualize things realistically or animated. When I took the test first sun rise that came to my mind was similar to sun set from lion king movie. I have to consciously make effort to switch for a realistic sun rise. When I was asked to visualize I see things I have already seen and convert it in to a live version to explore. For example when asked to visualize a elephant I have remembered an elephant from the memory. Isolated it from the old context and created a new visual space to explore the elephant in detail. Same with sun set. Its like my inner self was showing me rough things it had to build the visual space and I am consciously determining these properties.

I do have a inner monologue. I used to have three voices in my head when I give presentations in college. One voice keep track of content I am reading. One voice that translates it into English (Even-though I am reading English text somehow it is represented in my head as native speech). Other delivers the presentation in English. I used have this processing for each sentence I utter. Even when I read a book I used to have context in native language and a English correlation. I was slow in processing information written in English even though I understand it because of this processing over head of translating from English to native context. I tried consciously to get rid of this language based contexts. Now a days I have something like a zone of thinking where I get in to a English processing context. It feels like my inner voice speaks in English when I am in this zone of thinking and switches to native tongue when I am out of this zone. I don't know if this is something everyone goes through when they acquire a new language.
I think some people are terribly thin skinned when it comes to downvoting.
I've toyed around with mycroft + raspberry + respeaker array. Works well enough that I could get it to figure out wolfram style questions fairly well.

Most things seem to assume a raspberry as the base hardware which somewhat implies cloud usage.

There is also hive mind which seems to get around the above issue (basically mycroft except with a more satellite mentality to mic placement)

Also been wondering whether it is possible to just use the cloud TTS since their voices are quite good. That should fall under GCP/AWS etc terms which seems a little more privacy friendly than straight alexa & friends.

Planning on having another go at this, but first tackling presence detection which is a minefield of note too
If a currency hasn't gained mass adoption, I don't believe its a currency. I can claim I have a currency of green marbles and my son lets me buy candy from him with green marbles and he buys candy from a friend with green marbles so therefore its a currency.

I'm not saying bitcoin can't get there, its certainly possible, but when the majority of use cases use terminology like "holding", "investing", "trading" its treated by users as more of a security/equity than a currency.
My brother did faint. Before he fainted I asked him are you ok? And he started replying incoherent words, that’s when I knew something was wrong. I was quick enough to go hold him as he was dropping towards the floor like a dead weight.

Also you have to understand I had no clue if the guy was fainting or dying on the spot

This literally is an article presenting benchmarks that demonstrate the exact opposite of what you are claiming. If you have benchmarks to contradict the findings, maybe you can share them?
Nothing to be ashamed of there. You hadn't had enough domain specific exposure to cut through the jargon from the sounds of it. First exercise I do with my hires/juniors is work to connect what we're doing with something they already know.

That's communication 101.

201 is divesting yourself of the assumption you always know exactly what everyone else is talking about, and remembering that it never hurts to play the fool and learn something, as in the process of being taught, sometimes new knowledge will become apparent.

People who master both pieces tend to be the most amazingly competent people I've ever had the privilege to work with.
The new media engine will obviously comes with VVC as well. It makes much more sense to do both at the same time since their IP are in house. I believe Mediatek's Video Encoding and Decoding Engine are licensed IP ( May be Chips & Media).
I have a weird address, and easily 30% of websites insist on fucking it up by applying validation rules that might make sense from 20,000 feet, but don't actually work in practice for our address.

The most straightforward of them is that some validation services insist that our ZIP code is for the next town over instead of the one we live in, which has its own post office. Nothing correct happens if our mail goes to the wrong post office because they (rightly) have no idea how to deliver mail to us.

I wouldn't be so confident that 100% of that 70% don't know their own address. For at least some of those cases, I'm willing to bet they know something you don't about the vagaries of mail and package delivery to their address.
Would it work to turn off the microphones on your HomePods, turn off listening for "Hey Siri" on your phone, iPad, and Macs, and set your Apple watch to the "raise to speak" setting, and then do all your voice control through the watch?

If that works, that might be a solution for people who want the convenience of voice control but do not want an always-listening microphone in their house.

We are launching a pricing page in the next month as we are gearing up for launch :)

One example of recieving a 50% cost saving is from Amazon Machine Images (AMIs). We compared the cheapest official NGINX AMI available on the Amazon Marketplace[0] and then also ran an NGINX+Unikraft AMI. We ran the same workload using wrk[1] and then checked the bill at the end of the month, roughly $80 vs $40.

I guarantee we will still hear about how long it took them to add generics to the language and how the language is only popular because of “massive Google marketing campaigns” and how the language is “stuck in 1970” and so on for years to come. People who make silly criticisms aren’t likely to be pacified, and I don’t think generics will make people less upset that Go is eating into their language’s marketshare.
Installing Linux on a Dead Badger (2004)
Yes. Had them since WHF first started. We have different rules depending on the level of the meeting though.

40-50% of the meetings are low risk and they don't require removal or power off and these devices though.

For medium risk or higher we run random tests during meetings to see if they have google and alexa around. Nothing fancy or anyting. We just have they devices play a song like "Never Gonna Give You Up".
It remains to bee seen, meanwhile Rob Pike did comment[0], we should refrain from changing libraries in 1.18 immediately after generics are in.

"The reason is simple and compelling: It's too much to do all at once, and we might get it wrong."

That can trivially be done in software using any USB device at all. In fact, Tails has done it forever, and I bet other things have too.

Total ripoff.
Points 1 and 3 assume any government wouldn't choose to target people who had a specific document, I think this is a poor assumption. Hash fragility doesn't seem relevant if both the hashing algorithms and the target content are known to the government

Point 2 and 5 I don't understand, could you expand on it? If the government produced manipulated CSAM that didn't exist in any other pre-manipulation form, how would the manipulation be detected? And supposing it were detected, would CSAM database holders choose not to add that image to their databases just because it was manipulated? If that were the case, it would give pedophiles a way to exempt their images from the database too.

Point 4 is neutralized by the government demanding local human reviewers for phones located in their country. China already does this with iCloud, they could demand the same for the CSAM reviewers, then coerce those reviewers or simply select them for party loyalty in the first place.
That’s a neat solution, my instinct would have been futzing with the universal distribution of Math.random() into a normal distribution (incurring even more cost than the Math.log() call in the process).
Democratic Transparency of Policy Evidence: New Zealand's Smokefree 2025 Policy
To be fair, Java existed before a lot of modern standards and its primary goals were to be fully object-oriented (because every project manager was convinced that this was the best approach at the time) and cross-platform, so they kind of HAD to rewrite everything. Everything needed a Java-friendly OO interface and had to run on the JVM on a bunch of different platforms spanning everything from Solaris servers to embedded devices.

In hindsight it’s easy to say that this was an overly ambitious project with vague goals but it made sense in 1995 when technology was revolutionizing everything and creating new domains and markets.
There wasn't the point, its multiple points.

> True, discoverability is an issue. Sailfish OS suffers from the same. I guess any gesture-based UI does, and on top of that iOS, Android, Windows, macOS... they all have features which the user is unaware of, and when they discover it its like 'why didn't you tell me, Ben?'. Programs do, too. Heck, you could say the same about programming languages. But in the end, it is you, the user's fault. Or is it? Perhaps that is part of the problem?

This is about the (lack of) discoverability of UIs, including gesture-based, touch-based UIs. It also describes such lack of discoverability isn't a new phenomenon in software.

> Because designers instead of two distinctive UIs want a UI which is mostly the same for non-touch and capacitive touch. I saw this in the Maemo community as well. You had three types of apps (ignoring resisitive/capacitive focus, Gtk to Qt transition, CLI apps, web apps (as far as they existed) etc etc): normal/traditional desktop apps ("ugly ports"), touch-optimized apps, and stylus-optimized. That's a mess. And if you take for example iOS, that's where the majority of Apple applications are targeted for; not macOS. So they added a portability layer in 10.14 Mojave.

> We may safely say stylus-based is not in use anymore. Back in the 90s it was used for resisitive based touch. Nowadays, if one uses a stylus, its on a capacitive touch screen, and it resembles a finger. So, ignoring web apps (agnostic due to CSS / responsive design), CLI apps (niche) we got two remaining: mouse/pointer based UI (traditional/normal) and capacitive touch-based UI. The one which became popular since iPhone is capacitive. It has taken over the world, so to say.

This is about how we transitioned to a capacitive touch-based UI which has become the status quo, and how developers want to develop for both traditional pointer-based UI and touch-based UI (or how its made easier for them to do such).

> As a desktop user I use Rectangle on macOS, Power Toys on Windows, and on Linux I would like to use Sway with KDE in the future but right now I am sticking to Gnome. Gnome did spatial file manager right back in the days. Sometimes it was annoying, I think a tiling WM is a better solution nowadays, and KDE allows for that (on top of that Qt > Gtk).

> Anyway, neither Windows nor Linux have an Apple Magic Trackpad 2 with gestures which work. macOS does. They're consistent. They work, both hardware-wise and software-wise. But it is not an iPhone with capacitive screen, and given the removal of TouchBar I doubt Apple will go towards such a path. You see, that the fingers cover part of the screen of an iPhone is a disadvantage of the device; not an advantage.

This is my recent [anecdotal] experience regarding window management and GUI flow on pointer-based UI. Includes which tools I use and recommend.
> If it becomes illegal to have a file, or a book, or an image

This is already true in certain circumstances.

> then the entire tech ecosystem we all use everyday is completely untrustworthy.

This depends on what tech you use. The degree to which you cannot trust it, or need to understand that it is actively working against you, varies by platform. Nearly all platforms undermine you in different ways. Some of those platforms do so in a way in which you're ok with.

> Is that an issue? Sure! Is it a new issue, or specific to Apple's implementation? Nope.

Agree to disagree. I don't mind cloud services (someone else's computer) scanning my data and working against me. I do mind my computer scanning my data and working against me.
I guess the best way would be to auto lock the laptop if someone screams, no hardware needed and if they hold you, you can still scream to lock the laptop
Zero offense taken.

Amount Is based on team members, friends and colleagues working at large established companies. I imagine price there may be more depressed than at small successful rapidly growing companies - but percentage wise, though they make minority of HN, boring dev jobs at large companies are majority of actual Devs. Canadian averages are notoriously hard to get but based on linked in and glass doors, there seems to be a lot of dev jobs well under 100k.

(fwiw, based on sample size of n=2, my friends who are Canadian Devs but on primarily American companies, effectively get American salary grandfathered. They both acknowledge its far higher than what they previously had and what they might get otherwise in market)

It is my understanding that e. G. UK is largely the same - development is a white collar office job like any other, not a rock star exotic occupation it appears based on HN to be in US.

Very cursory search shows median US developer salary (not average vocal HN audience salary:) to be 100k US and UK average dev salary to be fraction of that. These may or may not be accurate, but most dev jobs are far more boring and standardized than HN average.
Yep, me too. I started three weeks ago. It's truly unbelieveble. Here's how much satisfied I am with the results: I would gladly trade 10 years of my life to continue like this than live them as miserable as I was, plagued with rumination, anxiety and horrible attention control.

You have to consider that an in-kernel implementation also hinders innovation - for example, things like BBR instead of Cubic/NewReno can be rolled out easily in userspace through the application's QUIC library while it takes a while until all clients and servers a) use a recent kernel which has TCP BBR support and b) have it configured by default.
Thanks for your comment! I'll do the sugar test and check if there are some blood tests from your list I haven't done yet.

> Do you feel pain when this happens?

No, just weird unpleasant "squeeze" sensation in chest.

> Does your breathing rate increase? (hyperventilation)

Not sure but probably not. It makes me breath way deeper, but frequency seems the same.
Only the cable by itself cost $59.00.

It's the same USB magnetic cable that you can buy in many shops for $2.

> but what is comically impractical about this?

That you have to carry such contraption around and find a place to tie it to.

If you have to spend more than $30 for a custom device you can detect if a laptop is being moved away from a table in many better ways.
Yet the on device scanning already exists on every platform. This is how the system makes content rapidly searchable.
I hope the next big thing is a proper error handling instead of if-hell.

That graphic is quite bad.

Not all markers follow the same logic. For the "Terry's Gate" the white line seems to point to the location of the gate, while when showing homes they do not point to homes but use the icon to designate location.

Depending on what they used for TWRA Camera the camera may or may not be located on the property. I am leaning toward not on the property as there is no real reason why they would point outside of the property with the white line unless they wanted to show where it actually was.

Feel like this something similar can be accomplished for Macs using AirTags/Apple Watch proximity to do specific actions via Shortcuts App, instead of just locking/erasing remotely using 'Find My'.
Not quite convinced by the rationale given.

All that happened was people loitering & browsing on their phones a bit before buggering off. Removing that isn't going to tangibly speed up the roll-out of vaccines.

The only NHS staff present last time in that area was someone handing out "I've been vaccinated" stickers
Exactly that - apologies for not elaborating myself. At least I couldn't have put it better myself.

Perhaps there are people who don't want the civilisation and platform we operate in to be paid for.
I’m pretty sure I’ll never understand QUIC completely in my lifetime. I do know HTTP 1.1 through and through (it’s really easy).

The fact that HTTP 1.1 speeds are even comparable, let alone faster in some situations, should at least tip the scale in its favor.
Or maybe it's... gasp a fake story on the internet?

> Simply these things giving people more faith in fiat?

Yes, it rests largely on the trust and faith you have in the currency. At a basic level, you at least need to trust that your money won’t lose half its value overnight. Otherwise, you’d just use another currency; there are a couple of examples in recent history. Now, whether your faith is justified or not is another question. Then you can look at the size of the economy or the power of whatever is backing the currency.

> The value of my past work being tied to the success of something I have no control over, a machine that murders innocent people in drone strikes across the world?

Such is the world we live in, whether we like it or not. As a side note, a lot of the drone murdering is done more or less transparently for economic reasons. Yes, a government powerful enough to project power on the other side of the planet to secure a good supply of cheap oil or to ensure some form of hegemony does inspire confidence in its currency. I wish it weren’t so, but here we are.
Yep, I think so too, it wouldn't have protected him. Whoever was in charge of the operation would've noticed and identified this killswitch, and prepared appropriately. The suspect would be incapacitated as a matter of priority to prevent him from activating it.
The Tortoise, the Hare, and the Cyclical Linked List
QUIC does require TLS 1.3, but as far as I can tell HTTP/2 over TLS 1.3 is perfectly viable, and is likely a common deployment scenario.

Upgrading just TLS to 1.3 for most people likely just means upgrading to a newer openssl which you probably want to do anyway. In many web server deployment scenarios, deploying HTTP/3 is highly likely to be more involved. The Apache httpd doesn't support H3 at all, I don't know if nginx has it enabled by default these days?
There are many ways to debug unikernels in production, particularly, we have in-kernel monitoring (e.g. ability to enable fine-grain memory, scheduling, and resource monitors. These work also any included libraries). You can also produce flame-graphs of the entire unikernel image which show the entire kernel stack and the application. There is also remote GDB support (which come with additional scripting tools for automation) for debug-images which are built along-side the production image.
I'm just getting a more general evolving sense that the writing/information quality of top results for random topics on Google are diminishing. Probably just in my own little echo-chamber I suppose, thought it might be interesting to hear outside perspectives
… and another bonus is that your QUIC implementation can be in a memory safe language and doesn't have to use C ;)
Is there any credible science indicating that "Earth turns into Venus" is even remotely possible if we were to deliberately put all our efforts into triggering it?

I've never heard this scenario from anyone who has spent any time reading the science. Unless you can give some details of why this is something that's worth having on the radar, I'm going to dismiss that scenario as a fear-mongering doomsday prediction.
While it's still debatable whether crypto currencies are pure speculation vs. the new "gold" vs. a new currency that will kill the national ones -

No, the correct response is action.
I would not blame the US, but otherwise confirm the first antithesis. The EU has severe democratic deficits (which fervent proponents now deny, that is also a good reason not to join political union with them.) and that did not change in the last decade. Some very small concessions here and there, but the fundamental problem remains. Reminder: The EU has been advertised to be a defense against non-democratic nations. Today it is an exploitative institution that will need a lot of money to be kept artificially alive.

> And those few cases of undoubted success, such as post-war Japan, Germany and South Korea may have more to do with their own domestic developments than US influence

I think the cold war played a role here. There was a common enemy. In Iraq or Afghanistan or previously Vietnam there only was the occupier.
Google tells US staff to get vaccinated or face losing job
No, because this study doesn't exist in a vacuum. The contribution is to quantify the relative risk between Covid and vaccines. We already know that Covid has a significant myocarditis risk on its own (as has any viral infection). On the other hand, the authors explicitly state they see no indication for an interaction after 28 days.

You are free to challenge the latter part, but so far there is no evidence that the vaccines "stay in your body" or something similar.
