I noticed this not working the other day as well.

Honestly, my feeling is that using Google Home is asking for trouble and frustration. It already barely works, but it's not hard to imagine some future where the company that built your front door lock is ordered to stop providing service by some court that finds it in violation of a patent.
Today is January 7th. One year ago today, they were still at the Capitol grounds picking up Confederate flags, cleaning up Swastikas, and sweeping up truckloads of Trump 2020 paraphernalia. For the last year, hundreds of Trump’s foot soldiers have been flowing through the criminal justice system, one after another pleading that they were only there that day fighting for the former President at his direction.

Today, one year later, the evidence is clear about what the plot was. Actually it was all admitted to on live TV and even had a name: “The Green Bay Sweep”

- pretend there was fraud, and lie about it profusely.

- GOP Reps and Senators challenge specific states, baselessly.

- Pence rejects the certification, assuming powers he doesn’t have (but who would stop him?)

- states baselessly reject election results and choose Trump instead

- Contested election is thrown to House

- Majority Republican delegations install Trump as President, thereby officially ending American democracy.

Of course at the last moment, Pence refused to be part of this plan, because he knew what they wanted him to do was unconstitutional. Hence the Capitol insurrection. Hence "Hang Mike Pence".

Whether that equates to societal collapse, I don’t know, but it does amount to tearing up and burning the Constitution.
Congratulations, you now have a personal experience that is required to increase your future effectiveness. It will continue to inform you on a visceral level when you are heading down a meaningless road.

It sounds like you spent your time and attention on an aspect that is not of value to the customer (user) that is paying the salaries of yourself and your managers.

There are various reasons for this, but keep in mind that you only have control over your own familiarity with the customer's needs and what you then prioritize. If you rely on the guidance and understanding of your manager and boss, you will only get resentful whenever they make a mistake and treat you unfairly.
>>What are transaction fees, still $20 USD average like they were in April?

Looks like txn fees are less than $1 USD [1] today; certainly a lot lower than they were back in April. High priority transactions likely can be pushed to $2+ if you are in a rush to get your txn processed.

>>Also, there is a backlog of transactions, so it can be days to get a transaction done.

Backlog seems to be low at the moment.[2]

I think one of the best things about HN is that there are few "corporate" accounts, and founders continue to communicate from their personal accounts.

To add to your points, as much as people may use identity politics to realize their interests, I think we should not forget the people who label simple and needed social changes as identity politics and peak wokeism, just because they disagree with said changes.

As an example, some people think that showing homosexual people in media is part of some wokeist agenda, just virtue signalling and an act of identity politics.

I guess to sum it up, we should probably stop using such general terms and just explain what we think in a couple of sentences. I guess that's where Twitter can be blamed a bit, when you don't have the space to thoroughly explain what you think, you have to resort to abbrevations and single words, in turn making it more confusing for everyone.
My reference to authoritarianism isn't just a general frustration or condemnation, but rather because this technology specifically facilitates authoritarianism. It increases the ability of the more powerful party in a relationship to dictate the behavior of the less powerful party in a relationship. Sure, more powerful parties can always attempt to dictate such things, but the degree to which they succeed depends on how enforceable those terms are. Remote attestation directly enables such enforcement.

Since central planning is unscalable, this inherently leads to mandates that are ignorant, arbitrary, and capricious. For example, perhaps a bank makes it against their terms to access your account through a virtual machine, due to a lack of understanding technology and a general worry - it's one more moving part and this user is doing something nonstandard that they don't understand, so to them risk goes way up. Yet I myself do all my banking access in a VM, for various security and practical reasons. But still I don't have to worry about any bank actually attempting to enforce such a clause, since unless they really start digging through my system stats with javascript and/or raw sockets, they won't even have any indicator of such. Whereas remote attestation would allow them to cut right through all of that and enforce such a thing (actually it would prevent it by default), thereby (increasingly) preventing me from operating my personal computing environment how I see fit.
> Isn't the kb-layout handled by the OS, and not the keyboard itself?

The OS can remap a traditional layout for you, but a lot of keyboards can store a configured layout that is used when determining which keycodes to send. Chances are pretty good, given the described setup, that they were probably using a keyboard that managed its own layout.
How was that propaganda?

I read the first half but then switched to skimming the rest. It’s long-winded and not particularly well-written. I concur with the basic thesis that there are potentially more important things to life than work (or a particular job, at least), and that one should prioritize how to spend one’s time. Also, I agree that the more one pulls on the thread of one’s natural interests, the more likely one is to be rewarded —- Pasteur’s “fortune favors only the prepared mind.” There’s a. undercurrent of sexism, however naive, that made it hard for me to read.
just use ffmpeg to remux the file?
For the most part, human detection capabilities of modern NNs are very good. This would include detections from a variety of camera angles and resolutions. There are already a lot of labeled training sets available with people in various poses, heights, clothing types, etc.

Bicycle detection is probably one of the more challenging elements as it relates to pedestrians and things you don't want a SD car to run into. Depending on the angle and color of the bicycle, rider position, and background elements, it can be challenging to discern the rider from the bicycle reliably. For the most part, just knowing there is a human present is a good start, but being able to anticipate movement speeds and directions of pedestrians vs. bikers is helpful in anticipating collision paths and distances, and also figuring out distances and terrain (person on bike is slightly elevated above ground, which can cause range perception issues, among other things).

Social fun during the day is fairly easy, do sports or crossfit. Social fun at night? That's trickier since most people are spent at the end of the day. Go restaurant exploring later at night, like 8:30 or 9 instead of 6, maybe camping, or have backyard bonfires. I can relate to your question, because before my friends discovered alcohol, they'd be game for an 10pm inline hockey match, but after it was alcohol or nothing -- of course they've all moved away at this point, or are busy with kids to hang out much, but that's how it goes.

Is it apples and oranges or is it a nice pair of paper scissors compared to a multitool with the little fold-out scissors? Often we carry the multitool because it mostly meets lots of different needs. Sometimes we just want a single focused tool that does its one job really well.

There are lots of ways to sync or backup files and folders, each with their own quirks, advantages, and disadvantages. There's git, mercurial, OneDrive, Sharepoint, Dropbox, Google Drive/Google One, rsync, scp, NFS, Owncloud, Nextcloud, Crashplan, unison, snapback, Amanda, bacula, IDrive, Carbonite, Barracuda Backup, Veam, duplicity, DAR, bup, Acronis TrueImage, Veritas Backup Exec, HP Data Protector, Borg backup, Commodo Backup, and Windows/SAMBA shares over CIFS to name a minority of options. If every attempt met every need, there'd be far fewer tools for this.
Agreed and clearly the provider wasn’t okay with it

Most evidence suggest it was sincere. That it was one of the most major policy failings of the West is now admitted, even by its architects. That sort of remorse isn't common with conspiracies.

I mean, I think Reddit creates value. There are a lot of very positive communities on there that are helping a lot of people. It's a lot easier for me to see the positive value created by those communities than it is for me to see the positive value being actively created by cryptocurrencies.
Ask HN: What will be the price of Bitcoin in 10 years?
Most of the web focusses on the psychological side of Bitcoin. If hysteria will drive it to the moon or if fear will drive it into the ground. If it is the new gold, the future of money, the dotcom bubble of our generation or the new tulip mania.

Here on HN, we might have the unique opportunity to discuss the future among technical people who actually understand the concepts behind cryptography and blockchains.

Maybe it would be cool if everybody made a prediction and put down their reasoning behind it? Then in 10 years we can look back on it and see how close or far we were from reality.
It's amazing that you can send $100m to anyone in the world with a phone, anytime day or night and it costs $2. And it's direct to the other person; no banks or payment processors.

I don't get all of the negativity HN has towards Bitcoin. This simple ability is so amazing and scifi to me.
Loved the concept, makes drawing sooo easy even with a trackpad.

Some tips :-

1. When holding down shift allow straight lines only and no curves. It's the norm in design softwares

2. When I drag to create the line, the drop point if off and not accurate to the nearest dot of my mouse position. I'm unsure if it's a bug or have you deliberately built a non-accurate system.
Reddit provides entertainment? Are you claiming that bitcoin serves as an entertainment item?

>renewable nuclear

Was that a misprint or intentional? That's a real question. I've never heard nuclear be referred to as renewable. That's an interesting take.
I'd love to identify helicopters. I do get planes now, but was it specifically military helicopters?

I like getting to identify basic things like cars, airplanes and trains with hCaptcha. It's like a picture book for adults, and feels strangely pleasant compared to other captchas.
I don’t follow crypto at all so this isn’t about Bitcoin futures but for most cash settled commodities on the CME the exchange traded futures aren’t the main driver of prices, real commodity impacts are.

The futures market are an input into the commodity prices but rarely the biggest.
I think for the subset of people that care about having AVX512 on their 12900K, and bother to disable the E-cores to achieve it, they will be using enthusiast motherboards that don't block bios upgrades in this way.
> Does it? Seems to me that most people don't, and never have trusted each other

Most people don't need to trust each other. The elites certainly do, at the very least, to respect the peaceful transfer of power. Democracies have, by design, lots of elites, so the coördination problem becomes (intentionally) more difficult.
I'm impressed they had so many OS clones, even UNIX!
I never know if a few pixels of a pole count as “traffic light”. Might as well tell me to pick the Ship of Theseus.
The truth is: you’re not the customer that Dropbox wants.

Not offering reasonable storage for a reasonable price is a way to keep users that they don’t want away from their service.

Just like 1Password. They are extremely non subtle in pushing users that want local vault away from their customer base.
Using Caddy it’s not too hard if you know what you’re doing. But if you have many nodes you’re deploying it’s starts to get more complicated. A lot of people don’t know what they’re doing, however.
I thought personal attacks weren't encouraged on this forum.
There have been reports that it was possible to enable AVX512 on the big cores with the little ones enabled [0] by toggling some bits in the MSR.

For a first step it would have been enough to manually pin threads to the big cores for adventurous users, but Linux already tacks which threads use AVX (since it comes with a clock penalty, so you want to isolate them if possible), it's not unreasonable to think that auto-setting CPU mask based on that should be possible too.

That's a whole lot of straw man and not a lot of reality right there.

The "network" is still useless, it still creates no value and it still consumes energy that could be used to actually create something valuable instead.

> When films aren't available on any of the streaming services I subscribe to, what do you expect me to do? Pay another £60 per annum to watch one film on a streaming service I'll never use again? I read somewhere there are 1000 streaming services in the UK, and over 2000 in the US.

Yes? Especially when you actually normally are able to use a thirty day trial, or pay £5 for a single month without a rolling contract, or just don't watch the title, or go and purchase/rent it from iTunes et al?

All of those are perfectly legitimate options.
Laws are just norms, enforcement is done with intention
Seems like you're trying to define words in a way that makes the actual state of affairs in the USA impossible to describe.

No matter if all leftists are removed from society, leftism must still be said to be half of what remains.

Nothing in mainstream USA politics should be described as "economic left."

> The real solution would be for Intel to detect the presence of AVX-512 instructions then automatically and unconditionally pin the thread to the big cores. It wouldn't be hard either, just catch the unknown instruction exception and see if it is AVX-512 then move the thread.

Having actually worked on this, it’s quite a bit more complicated, although it is possible. For better or for worse, though, Intel made a decision that all cores would expose the same feature set, and now this is baked into Linux and probably other OSes at the ABI level, and changing it would be a mess.

A correct heterogeneous ABI (and frankly a good AVX512 ABI at all) would require explicit opt-in, per process, for AVX512. Opting in would change the signal frame format, the available features, and the set of allowed cores.
Repetition habit, thank-you. I might work with data queues too much.
Okay, there is more actually.

Marak develops this very useful tool and gives it away for free, receives praise but no money. After realising that there is no money in giving stuff for free with no further plan down the road, gets cranky as others are not giving Marak free services and don't accept applause as a payment method, says that someone needs to pay for it or take over the development. Declares that will no longer do free work for corporations[0] but corporations seems to be unimpressed that the free worker will no longer work.

Since no one seems to be interested to pay for work offered for free, Marak launches SaaS of the tool as fakercloud.com, which is a popular strategy and sometime can actually work.

Unfortunately, according to Marak[1], engineers from Retool copy the SaaS platform and launch it as a part of Retool. Marak realising what has happened offers the CEO of Retool to sell the fakercloud.com to them. The CEO ghosts Marak, maybe because doesn't want give evidence for a lawsuit or maybe doesn't see the point of purchasing a product that the internal engineers already build.

As a result, Marak gets angry and deletes everything and posts conspiracy theory memes and links everywhere. As this tool is a popular one and people depend on it, NPM suspends Marak's account and continues to provide lates working version that Marak gave them for free.

Honestly, I feel for Marak. What a talented engineer and romantic businessman.

Bitcoin slumps to a three-month low as cryptocurrencies extend losses
cme volume is tiny, can you cite your claim? I have not heard anyone claim that before, given the majority of option volume is on cryptocurrency exchanges which are operating using usdt.

edit: here's the source I'm using to understand cme volume vs binance etc. https://www.theblockcrypto.com/data/crypto-markets/futures/v... which shows binance is the highest volume, which is usdt as seen here: https://www.binance.com/en/futures

I'm pretty sure they didn't reach out to my current company to ask, so the only other option was abusing a system like this

You've made a great project, and I can see your concern about open source. However, just to give you the opposing point of view, open source doesn't always mean community-driven development. For example, Rich Hickey, creator of Clojure, has an article about that: https://gist.github.com/richhickey/1563cddea1002958f96e7ba95.... From the article:

> The only people entitled to say how open source 'ought' to work are people who run projects, and the scope of their entitlement extends only to their own projects.

> Just because someone open sources something does not imply they owe the world a change in their status, focus and effort, e.g. from inventor to community manager.

> Open source is a licensing and delivery mechanism, period. It means you get the source for software and the right to use and modify it. All social impositions associated with it, including the idea of 'community-driven-development' are part of a recently-invented mythology with little basis in how things actually work, a mythology that embodies, cult-like, both a lack of support for diversity in the ways things can work and a pervasive sense of communal entitlement.

I can totally understand not choosing to open source it, it's your project and yours alone. But that also means that you're free to put it on the internet under a permissive license, and refuse any contribution. Another example of the "Open source, not open contribution" stance is SQLite: https://www.sqlite.org/copyright.html. There are lots of entitled people asking for free development time from maintainers. You don't owe them anything. This software is your intellectual property. It is yours and yours alone, no one should expect anything from you. With all that said, I understand not open sourcing it to not even take the risk, it's very easy to say "just ignore those people", but it can be very hard to do.

With all that said, congratulations again!
Hey now bitcoin allows me to buy drugs
About half of the world (by number, not population) is authoritarian, and only <10% would be full democracies. Yet there are very few ongoing civil wars. I don't think being democratic or authoritarian really matters much to most people, as long as they agree with the policies.

If you look at all the job postings for Stripe, you'll notice that none of them require you to know ruby and expect you to be able to learn it on the job.
This is actually a really critical observation of BTC. The system works just as well regardless of the price of BTC. Because this is the case, IMO it would be desirable to have the cryptocurrency not produce a distribution of coins that benefits early adopters and harms late entrants. But it would be nearly impossible to introduce such a change because BTC-as-investment is such a huge part of its ideology nowadays.
Yeah i figured it wasn’t really about the transaction fees but I didn’t want to prematurely risk writing a strawman argument that wasn’t presented

The OS was close enough and wonderful under the hood. So many UNIX people bought one for home just because it was so easy to port UNIX code. I wrote Amiga apps on a Sun3/50 using Sun's compiler and just transferred the binary over to my machine. The Amiga Pascal software even had a special program included to transfer binaries over serial/parallel from a UNIX box (usually a Sun). You mostly just needed to link to a different crt.o / clib.
