Not impossible they do something like just name it after the time stamp and add some random digits - I’ve seen exactly this at a telco. “What about collisions?” “We’ll add another digit if it’s a problem.”

So maybe it’s now a problem. Although with decreasing MMS volume you’d think not.
I see a lot of people commenting that his channel is "pseudoscience." After watching several of his videos in full, he mainly talks about the interrogation techniques officers use over the actual subject or their psychological reaction. He also does any the analysis of a subject after the case has concluded with full knowledge of what the end result is. He is more looking back, trying to explain the subject's actions based on the full knowledge that the person is found guilty or not. He also analyzes full videos and takes into consideration all the facts of the case. He doesn't make assumptions based on one small tell or the other.

He also actively shows that not everyone reacts the same. One of his videos is fully based around an innocent man who seems to react differently than the average person and is kept in jail because of it. He makes the point that cops sometimes do read too much into these tells and forget the facts.

If you think that this could somehow be problematic; after watching the channel the only conclusion you can reasonably come to is "if the police suspect me of a crime, shut the hell up and get a lawyer." He is quite clear that the police are way better at psychological games, and the absolute last thing they want you to do is get your lawyer involved. Heck, he shows a cop who murdered someone get caught to show that even cops can't keep up with their own interrogation tactics! This is actively helpful and exactly what anyone under investigation should do.
This happened to me last year! I received a text message from someone which, pre-pandemic was totally innocuous, but during pandemic seemed totally reckless and crazy, and I got really angry before realizing that it was a resend from long ago. Oops.

You could try going step by step. Either leave your phone at home when you go out, or slowly disconnect it from the things you don't like: notifications, emails, instant messaging etc. until you reach what you are after.
Again, it depends on how the application accessing the file is developed.

If your program just read to copy in memory then closes the file, waiting for the next save to reopen it, the OS can’t know on which file you are working. And this, i think, must be a pretty common implementation.
Siri is not working out that well but Alexa is.
Its a sign of all times.

QNX, V2OS [1] (written in x86 assembly), SkyOS to name a few. I mention QNX because I remember running it from a floppy in end of 90s. Unix system with GUI, from one 1"44 floppy.

In the 00s, the website OSnews often covered all kind of alternative OSes (how I came across SkyOS).

Which recent ones are you aware of?

Did you see that I presented a valid use case, and nobody responded to that part?

Everybody here only tries to pick apart the details. It's been like that always here on HN.

And again in your comment, no mention of the use-case, only that you don't like my tone.

This is what made Pete Hamill stop drinking. After decades of hard drinking, he realized he had always been putting on an act. In fact, he inadvertently started to step out of himself to watch himself not be himself. That realization bothered him so much, he just quit.

I've given away the ending, but his book ("This Drinking Life") is well worth reading. (As a biography, not as a guide to help anyone quit drinking).
Why I see a new OS I always like to see what it brings to the table, specially if they take the effort of not being yet another POSIX clone written in C, without anything else to brag about.

So it is nice that it makes use of C++ and there are some frameworks already like the GUI stack, however this is missing from the website.
> "does not have a public pricing guide"

Most of their pricing is public: https://www.cloudflare.com/plans/

This includes the CDN product, workers, security services like Access and Teams. Only the Enterprise plan and other products require negotiation, but the majority of customers are easily covered by the standard options.

> "high bandwidth (games / software updates / video streaming) that is going to violate some type of clause"

The clauses are publicly stated in their terms. The CDN is for typical website assets and not large files, but many sites are running TBs of bandwidth for free or with the regulars plans though. Large file delivery requires different technical setup from small/dynamic requests, and there are CDNs specialized for that. You can also rent unmetered servers or interconnects yourself and get much better rates instead of using a CDN.
Not all members, one specifically stayed behind to maintain the website. In an interview played on the Heavens Gate podcast (which is excellent) he expressed regret he wasn’t able to teleport to the comet with the rest of the group.
Thanks for the link. Appreciate the amount of work that has gone into this, very well done to the author(s), super work.

Stunning attention to detail - font choice on install, dynamic file renaming, open file highlighting, tabbed windows with apps inside. These felt so intuitive to me as I watched. Vector based UI - excellent choice!

Watching the demo brought back memories of OS/2 and BeOS in terms of aesthetics and usability. The theme designer blew me away - it looked like Sketch or Adobe XD in terms of UI prototyping. If this offers a way to draw your UI with vector based tools and have it "attached" to the OS's API then that's really exciting.

Further, if this could be extended to a VB style application where one can code in actions, events etc in a user accessible way [1] then I think it would be a killer app for this OS where a user/developer could shape the entire OS to fit the needs of the design.

I'm thinking here of a single use OS on a USB stick - for example, a writer's OS where the whole OS/Apps just provide a rich environment for wordsmiths to work in creative isolation. Like the "Zen" mode of many editors, but taken to the next level. Glorious looking dictionaries, pinboards for notes and research etc etc. Design the UI, apps and utilities and compile it all into a single, bootable OS would be wonderful. That would be very satisfying to me the way my mind is wired.

[1] To be clear, a language which is approachable by beginners, e.g. BASIC like or some high level scripting language. Also pluggable languages would be very cool for advanced workers.
Apparently a 256GB microSD card is $28.99, so 12 cents per gig is more expensive: https://www.techradar.com/news/this-is-the-cheapest-microsd-...

Perhaps Azure should offer to mail you the MicroSD card as well? Postage is only $0.58 for a First Class stamp, and less with a postal meter.

That would still be cheaper than Azure's transit traffic.
Some healthy fraction of c seems to be possible with current technology also. If you consider 3% healthy that is.

Maybe we need this kind of optimistic bias in order to get anything new done. The road to every improvement is littered with failures, whose trying and failing was nevertheless necessary to the overall success.

I think he does love his work.
Absolutely, I've had friends with limited business or tech background pump hard-earned savings into crazy tech startup ideas, precisely because they've read too many of these success stories.

I've been guilty of not trying to talk sense to some of them, so much so that there's one particular marriage break-up related to a stupid tech start up blowing a couples life savings that still haunts me.

And for the record, here's some of the ideas that went down in flames...

- An application like a geo-fenced Wikipedia for Android devices, except without any content worth using and charging 5 bucks/month for it.

- A Flickr/Google maps mash up, again charging customers for a product that's executed much better, and free, elsewhere.

- A health start-up targeting a condition that affects 1 in 100k people, usually quite mildly and benignly, but involves surgically implanting a device onto a nerve in the jaw.

- A SaaS company, Salmon as a Service, providing next day delivery of fresh salmon, when the same thing can be bought at the local store.
> At a minimum you need node, npm, webpack, babel, an spa framework, a frontend router, a css transpiler, a css framework, a test runner, a testing functions library, and a bunch of smaller things, and that's just what is "needed" to build a static website with a bit of interaction.

no you don't. just because you use react doesn't mean that everyone else also has to do the same.

You can replicate this with Lego. Brick Experiment Channel's most recent video has one of these that runs for 5 minutes.
At least two well funded startups are aiming at connecting to the grid in less than 10 years.

- MIT's Commonwealth Fusion Systems is taking the safe path of the tokamak but with a high temp superconductor. They plan to reach breakeven in 2025 (produce more energy than they put in). Deployment in the early 2030s.

- Helion goes for a totally new approach with aneutronic fusion and direct production of electricity (ie no boiling water). Net electricity in 2024. Backed by Sam Altman (he put $375M of his own money). Deployment to the grid before the end of the decade.

> mundane as spawn a task.

There are only a few things you need the specific runtime for:

- spawn

- IO

- timeout

But you can mix the executor and reactor doing the IO (not recommended but you can).

Similar you can run your own timer.

And you can abstract in various ways about all of this, sure with limitation, hence why there is no std-abstraction. But there are enough high profile libraries which do support multiple runtimes just fine.

But tokios preemting-cooperated threads to require any code which does any form of future multiplexing to:

- be tokio specific (which btw. isn't fully solving the problem)

- add a bunch of additional complexity, including memory and runtime overhead

If you multiplex features on tokio you must:

- use custom wakers to detect yields

- (and) do not poll futures in a "repeating" order (preferable fully random order).

This is a lot of additional complexity for something like a join_all (for a "small" N).

(reminds me I should check if I need to open an issue with futures-rs, as their join_all impl. was subtle broken last time I checked).

And even with that you have the problem that the multiplexed futures as subtle de-prioritized as they share a budged.

The problem I have with this feature is not that it's a bad idea, it isn't it's in general a good idea. The problem is that it completely overlooks the multiplexing case. And worse, further in subtle ways divides the ecosystem (that is what I'm worried about).

So maybe we could find a way to provide a std (or just common-library) standardized way for just that feature. (I mean it's a task local int,
it might not even need to be atomic, maybe. So there might be a way
which doesn't have the problem async-std standardization has).
Building under the sea at any kind of scale falls down quickly as soon as you compare it to say building it on land.

In other words, from cost, to sustainability, to environment, to trade, to defence, to literally whatever criterion you want, living on land is better than living under the sea.

And alas it would not really increase survivability of ELEs. (inside mountains is likely better for that.)

The only reason to colonise Mars is to mitigate an ELE, and its a pretty poor mitigation at that - Mars is more likely to experience an ELE than we are, all it takes is a bit of machinery to fail.

Which begs the question of course, why do we care? If an ELE happens, then it happens. Bummer.

Like everything in computing it depends.

x86 and ARM don't same the same memory consistency model, so while managed languages do somehow protect their users from the differences, languages like C++ do expose it by default (unless you make use of the C++11 memory model APIs[0]).

So it depends how clever the lock-free kernel datastructure were written and other memory access assumptions.

If you don't mind, I would like to hear some of the anecdotes.
I have been coding entirely by voice for approximately 10 years now (by hand long before that). Most of that time I have been using the Dragonfly (https://github.com/dictation-toolbox/dragonfly) library to construct my own customized voice coding system. The library is highly flexible and open source, allowing you to easily customize everything to suit what you need to be productive. It is perhaps the power user analogue to Dragon Naturally Speaking. With it, you can certainly be highly productive coding by voice. In fact, I develop kaldi-active-grammar (https://github.com/daanzu/kaldi-active-grammar), a free and open source speech recognition backend usable by Dragonfly, itself entirely by voice. There's also a community of voice coders using Dragonfly and other tools that build on top of it, such as Caster (https://github.com/dictation-toolbox/Caster).
The paper could just as easily be titled "MTurk Participants Respond As If They Believe What They Are Paid to Read."
This is exactly right. This kind of optimism is (usually) individually irrational, but extremely beneficial for the collective. Every time the world moves forward it's because some over-confident idiot bets everything on a hare brained idea. It's almost always ruinous, but on a societal level, the successes more than make up for all the failures.
Video game AI is a decades old context and has lots of it's own nomenclature for things. Emergent behavior in the context of video game AI is just when the behavior or states of various characters/objects interact in such a way that new, unprogrammed things occur. I would say this falls into that category, albeit loosely.

Another example of emergent behavior in game AI would be if you had a police NPC and a regular NPC, and the police NPC will chase any character entity if they have stolen goods on them. As the player, you could place a stolen good on a regular NPC and the police would chase them. The developers didn't anticipate that behavior, it just emerged from the interactions between various states and abilities that they did program.
Games like Gothic had this but scripted. Small yet densely packed maps with rewards everywhere. It's pleasant to see a truly useful application of AI and not just "gamer booster" stuff.
QNX was never an hobby OS, and that floppy (which I also have somewhere), was mostly to demo it to prospective buyers than anything else.

Nowadays it is chosen OS used by NVidia for their autonomous vehicles (Linux is for development mostly).
Yep, that’s still the reason :)
Ask HN: Why is Netflix audio engineering terrible?
When watching Netflix, I have 3 options.

This isnt the only antipattern I notice with Netflix, but its one thats actively harmful to peoples hearing.

Why?
Reading it, I think the innovation is in the construction of the panel, which allows for a brazing process using superheated air. It could work with any materials you would use to make a honeycomb panel.

A traditional honeycomb panel has to be brazed by baking it in an oven, or otherwise applying heat from outside. With the b-core construction, there is space between the tubes for air to flow, so they can shoot superheated air through the interior to braze, which apparently has advantages in speed and uniformity.
In addition, the fact that they're separate from the manufacturer means their incentives are also not aligned. They're incentivized to find issues, both pre delivery and during maintenance (especially during the warranty period)
They still respond to emails. Try it. It’s wild.
Is there a way to run this or SerenityOS (another indie developed OS) on mobile devices? Like on an android phone?
All the empty space isn’t necessarily my choice, the case just doesn’t come in a smaller version. That said, it was really easy to build the machine when there’s enough space to maneuver :)
Not on the C++ APIs it doesn't.
Carbo loading can be done prior to a race. The day before is usual. But even carbs in the morning before a race is effective.

The fat burning starts when you empty the glycogen chambers, but there is a sweet spot in terms of energy output, because as other people has pointed out, you can't do high intensity work on fat.

So it makes sense as an ultra endurance athlete that you try to pack som fat before a race, because it will be effective as a slow burning resource.

Another interesting thing at the moment are the ketones supplements one can drink.
Title should be clarified to match the article. Not everyone associated with the cult has perished. Several ex-members are alive and some remained close to the cult in a way that's hard to describe, and took on the maintenance of the website.

HBO's series, Heaven's Gate: The Cult of Cults, is highly recommended. It is a fascinating, tragic, and ultimately humanizing look at the cult, through the eyes of observers and several ex-members.

So, what was your contribution to the discussion?

The article is about Canon inkjets, mostly consumer ones. You said:

"Switched to a Brothers printer well over a decade ago that uses toner instead of ink and couldn’t be happier."

So, you seemed (I may have been mistaken, but your statement was far from being clear and explicit) to make quite an apple-to-oranges comparison. First, you were likely comparing products from different price brackets, then, you were comparing products with different technologies.

How does the brand matter? But the first thing you said was "Brothers", as if it was the most important and relevant info. You really seemed to imply that "Brothers" is what matters here.

If you said "I switched from low-end inkjets a decade ago, now I use SOHO laser printers - mine happens to be a Brother one which I find great", that would have been perfectly fine to me. Or even if you said "Canon low-end inkjets are crap - buy low-end Brother inkjets and they're far better!" - all of those are great contributions. Yours wasn't.
I spent some time in Asia and one of the things that impressed me was the use of slippers/flipflops/thongs. Maybe it was just who I happened to be around but I ended up with one pair to walk outdoors arround the corner , another solid pair for all day outside, a pair for in the house, another for in my room, and another for in the bathroom/shower.

ToDo lists can be like that in that they work as a note to self on paper or as an unstructured text file, or as a metadata graph multi-linked procedure with calendar start/stop times.

What you need to do can also be embodied arround you in a memory palace type structure where something physical like putting on your shoes reminds you that you need to decided about that gym membership.

The point is there are many ways that work better or worse situationally and having a personalized workflow drawing from a range of methods applied through practice is better than locking onto any single definition.
Sure, but if you take it to the garage and they know what the issue is straight away and have it fixed 2 hours later it is not nearly as big of a problem if it takes 2 days to figure out the issue and 2 weeks to order in the parts right?

The first is a minor inconvenience, the second is likely to leave a lasting impression of "this car is unreliable".

If it was ported to ARM and had a decent GUI interface builder, it could become a killer OS for making interface panels for appliances. Some manufacturers are repurposing Android for this task, however this forces them to use much powerful hardware, and their UX is still laggy.
No, by definition you couldn't "legally" do anything, as there would be no law.
2 years ago on New Year’s Eve, I was on the couch with my wife talking and my Apple Watch sent a text message to the cleaning lady saying “I love you”.

My guess is that the raise to talk gesture was triggered accidentally, and it somehow took some parts of the Portuguese words we were saying and understood it as “I love you” in English. I only knew after it sent the text, when it said “message sent”.

It was even more troublesome as we had fired her months earlier due to misconduct. Luckily she had lost my number and there were no repercussion. Being New Year’s Eve she probably mistook it as a wrong number…

Scared the crap out of me and made me disable Siri auto listening.
