I believe that you should have a license for ARM ISA to implement it and sell chips.

I also know that AMBA, with AXI and other popular bus designs from ARM are free to use without ARM CPU in the system and should be separately licensed when you use ARM ISA in your system. I can assume with high probability that most of peripherial devices like DRAM controller and others are using one of the AMBA buses.

Basically, if you use ARM CPU commercially, you are on hook to pay some not insignificant amount of money in perpetuity.

So, if Apple will continue to use ARM, they will be an ARM's customer, a significant one.
> Motion Sickness, headaches, sweaty headsets and detachment.

You can try another headset in a few years.

Lower headset weight, better audio, larger field of view, >= 120 hz refresh rates, frame interpolation, eye/face tracking - not all of these are possible right now, but I think we can expect them in 2024 - 2026.

I find that right now many games are not optimized for VR, which brings FPS drops that kill the immersion and give me a headache after a few minutes. The weight of the headset doesn't help too.

I agree that for business VR may be not as useful as the companies would like us to think. If you jump in and out of meetings, respond in chats etc. the UX should be on par or better than on traditional platforms, otherwise everyone would fallback to their laptops.

But for a casual moviegoers or gamers this may be a good product
I don't click Guardian links and haven't done for years, even if I'm interested. It's gross.

But I think that technology is still way far off.
Generally I don't think so, but sometimes legal departments are extremely careful and would rather spend money on an explicit license than relying on something they see as not 100% certain.

Offering this "service" seems like a great way to monetize your software, because it only hits those with overcautious legal departments that really don't care about the money, and everyone is happy: Legal gets their paperwork, company pays some amount that they don't care about, author gets money, engineers get to use it, everyone else who doesn't have a paranoid legal department gets to use it without any hurdles.

I'm pretty sure the author got sick of getting (from his perspective stupid) requests "hey you already said it's free but can you give that to us in writing, our lawyers won't let us use it otherwise" so he turned bureaucracy into money.

Edit: It's also a convenient way for companies to support the project with money. Very few companies have a "donate to this open source project" process, most have a "buy this software" process, so a company where the people using SQLite would like the company to pay for it now has a convenient way to do so.
Whoah, why is Sony group valued so low? They do a lot of things... Their P/E is half of Microsoft. But they're bleeding money, so something is amiss there.
“Far too easily?” You Sir are being rude, and I feel like you are trying to justify your VR experiences to yourself.

However If you enjoy it, that’s all that matters.
Feels like they ran into Chesterton's fence and decided to tear it down. Then rather than rolling back the change, they've instead decided to push ahead with the broken implementation.
It's just a well known arena allocator pattern, implemented on OS level.

It matters. You can click decline. If more people read the contracts and clicked decline, perhaps they'd have to change the contract.
Yeah, I was really impressed with the project when I encountered it last year when trying out a bunch of FLOSS Speech-To-Text options.

It was significantly better than the other FLOSS options I looked at--both in terms of getting it going initially & the quality of the speech to text results.

I tested it with a lightly modified version of this example script: https://github.com/alphacep/vosk-api/blob/master/python/exam...

What I found particularly interesting was when you have the "partial" recognition output shown in real-time you get to see how--at the end of a sentence--it may change a word earlier in the sentence in the final recognition output based on (I guess) the additional context of the full sentence.

(I just did a quick test again (with the installs from my testing last year) using an internal laptop microphone & the test script recognized a significant chunk of my speech (using a headset definitely improves things though) whereas with the same environment a test with `mic_vad_streaming` (from `DeepSpeech-examples-r0.9` with `deepspeech-0.9.0-models.pbmm`) failed to recognize any words at all.)
IMO Elite Dangerous is so good in VR I stopped wanting to play vanilla flat E:D. I’d play it more if it wasn’t such a hassle to boot to Windows, haul out all the HOTAS gear and the VR gear, unplug my external monitors, plug everything else in in the right order, find there are 5 mandatory Windows updates and an Oculus update to sit through, etc. You kind of need a dedicated desk and PC for VR.
I should have been more clearer. Please see my other comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29991505 for clarification. I am glad to see comments like yours at HN honestly.
"Everybody agrees that people should be generally allowed to take risks."

Not really, the nanny state is a thing.
A couple things I can think of:

* What's your DKIM/SPF/DMARC setup like? That all needs to be on point to get delivery to gmail to be reliable.

* Are you using a provider like Sendgrid, Mailchimp, etc. to send mail? Are you on a plan that gives you a dedicated IP address or is it part of their shared pool? The "it happens in waves" sounds a lot like a common problem with the shared pools where spammers send a bunch of mail through a service, the IP gets blacklisted, and it takes them a couple days to notice and remove it from the pool.

* do you have any "noisy" alerts or similar going out to people? Not necessarily spam, but eg, sometimes users getting frequent notifications, daily summaries, etc. will sometimes just flag them as "spam" rather bother to turn them off or manage them properly. At some point, that trains Gmail's filters to increase the spam likelihood on your entire domain.
Yeah, I wouldn’t bother suggesting it outside of some place like HN.
Don't be mislead: Telenot complex is not a mental diseases but an alarm system. It can use NFC tags to open doors.

TL;DR:

All we wanted was to read the logs to alert if e.g. the alarm company makes use of their key without actually responding to an alarm. Turns out that wasn't trivial, as there is only an old Windows GUI program using a custom protocol.

When my colleague (OP) looked further into it, it caught his eye that srand() and rand() were being called from a function responsible for making cryptographic keys. And with some further digging, it turns out those keys are the master keys to get into our office. A bit more digging and it turns out you can capture and offline crack one of those keys from a handshake, so a 32-bit key (even if rand() hadn't been seeded with a unix timestamp...) would have been easily crackable.

The technical details and PoC code are in the blog post.

Telenot responded quite well to all of this, but the roll-out to offline alarm systems could be faster. That is to say, many of these systems are internet-connected (also using AES-encrypted comms, no TLS), but you will also need to issue new NFC cards for people, so a remote update would only lead to denial of service.
Not saying you’re wrong, but fo you have a reference for the >100m penetration figure you’ve mentioned? The best numbers I can find are ~50 meters of “ground”, substantially less (but still impressive) for concrete… but this is a long way short of over 100 meters.
Can anyone talk me out of the Firefox password manager? It has a poor "general" use case for non-website passwords and treats mobile as a second-class satellite, but it seems to just work and the sync between mobile and desktop is very handy.

https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/11/firefox-sync-privacy/

I read and understood just enough of this when it was published to know it would make the foundation an object of ridicule if it was ill-conceived, but I obviously rely on implementation details being tickety boo.
I wonder if it might be possible to add a separations stage (centrifugal gas separator perhaps) and redirect any remaining oxygen back to the furnace?
CamelCaseToBeCrowded might not work in many Lisp dialects, since symbols may get case converted by the Lisp reader functions. In Common Lisp all symbols get upcased by default and one would have to escape a mixed-case symbol: |CamelCaseToBeCrowded| would preserve the case. Btw., |Camel Case To Be Crowded| would also be a legal identifier. Alternative: change the reader conversion mode.
It's basically just a huge square root extended Kalman filter tracking all GPS satellite states.
Once the method is known to the public and in news articles, I assume it's been employed by govt agencies for years.
>Living in a place where previously white people got police protection vs living in a place where there is more white people having crime committed against them?

I don't think those are the only 2 alternatives. There's also the alternative of everyone getting good protection from crime.
The distribution came in two parts when I worked with it:

APT - The binaries and SDK.
SBK - The drivers (source code), .obj and .lib files for the system.

There was significant driver source code in the latter, and the object files had (codeview) debug symbols included. It is possible to reverse engineer the latter files in to something approximating the C source, then rebuild individual "Resource Managers" - e.g. the PIPE/SM RM.

I know one could probably find the APT & SBK for 2.2, 2.34 (and 2.4 Beta), since a company I used to work for had them, along with the File System (Disk resource manager) source. The 2.4 Beta was something Novell distributed shortly before they handed the system off to the next owner.

The other parts of the system are not too complex, and could probably be reverse engineered from the objects with say 1 man year's work.

Now having rights / permission to do so, and redistribute the result is a different matter.
Same here. Especially on a train.

Railroads really really hate containers with a passion. Anything that doesn't need to be refrigerated or go on a boat, they will press hard to put it in a boxcar. Or in a 16-foot truck trailer sitting on top of a flatcar (used to see those go by all the time with UPS logos on them).
It's still around 100$ and up (I know you can get it a bit cheaper, but not everyone searches). Gigabit switches, on the other hand, are basically free.
That story about how Mitchell Baker helped set up the SQLite Consortium is interesting, hadn't heard of that before. She gets a lot of flak for the direction Mozilla has been heading, so it's heartening to hear how she advocated that the Consortium be set up in a way where the developers retain the power.
The GPS people would be surprised to hear that.
I have gigabit internet (downstream only... hoping for fiber one day for symmetric up/down), and I run wired gigabit ethernet for desktops and fixed devices to free up the wifi. For 99% everyday use it works just fine. Externally I hit 80+ MB/s on internet download (aggregate, very few sites saturate my downstream bandwidth), and internally I hit 90+ MB/s to and from my NAS. The only time I wish it was faster is when transferring really large files to/from the NAS, but only for 10GB+, so the extra cost of either SFP+ or copper 2.5/5/10G upgrade to the network is not really warranted. One day I might install a NVME cache on my NAS and run a straight 10G fiber from my workstation to the NAS, but that's more of a luxury (look I can transfer 10GB file in 10 sec instead of 100 sec!) than need.
Quest 2 with a link cable (or wireless link if you have great wifi) makes all this a lot easier!
She's a really good writer, and has obviously been through quite a lot. My background is amusingly probably her closest male analogue. I grew up homeschooled, had a similar experience in which I was flung into a world of alien pop-culture. I struggled with homelessness part way through university, and stayed in a house that was dilapidated. I can sympathise quite a bit with her background. I found myself struggling with atheism vs christianity, determinism (God has a plan for me) vs nihilism (there is no plan).

But she openly encourages conversations that seem extremely fascistic to me. One good example I have is this tweet:

https://twitter.com/Aella_Girl/status/1229230411760324609

Her Twitter is a gold mine of well-written, but ultimately half-baked ideas that lend themselves to seriously considering Nazi ideals. And I find that many of the rationalist crowd secretly encourage or at least allow discussions about Neo-Nazi ideas. This is not cool at all.

It's amazing to me to see Aella as perhaps who I could have been, had I not wholly challenged my beliefs.
The GDPR does this, but it's pretty ineffective. I'm tracked just as much as before, but now they tell me first. Opting out is difficult at best, and often simply impossible.

For example, searching for a word like "file" in an Unicode document may fail if the document uses the presentation form (compound character) 'fi' instead of the two-character string "fi".

Not an issue in a collation-aware search. Test here by searching for "fi": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligature_(writing)
That's why we do solar radiation management first (e g., Marine cloud brightening), to prevent the rapid change. Then we try to fix the atmospheric carbon balance. That will take a while.
I've been thinking about a similar project. Do you intend to have it be only bots? I think it would be interesting to also allow human players to play against the bots (perhaps incentivized by getting preferential rakeback deals compared to the Bot players?). Many players fret about bots on other sites; it would be cool to enable those of us who want the challenge play them knowingly and with a slight financial handicap :)
I am pretty sure some VR headsets have a "passthrough" functionality to see the real world. Although judging by my Quest 2, it's not that good.
It seems to me that if an organization's employees are frequently arrested, then released easily and able to go back to work, that organization is benefiting from the easy release. It seems somewhat similar to how Walmart benefits from its employees getting Medicaid.
Suppose you have some Bluetooth devices at your home and want to control or scan for those devices while at your workplace. In this project, we will discuss how to access BLE data remotely.
Yikes, not a good look, my dude. Even Unicode is such a vadt oversimplification of the complexities of digitally encoding human writing. I say go the other way: make all text carry encoding info, including strings in programming languages (which would ideally incorporate encoding as part of their type, and forbid combining strings of different encodings without explicit conversion to a target encoding). Yes, it's more complicated. So is memory-safe static object lifetime management, and we considered that a W and worth the trouble.
The package that this project is built on (vosk-api) mentions & includes some examples to demonstrate exactly that type of use case with ffmpeg:

"...continuous large vocabulary transcription, zero-latency response with streaming API, reconfigurable vocabulary and speaker identification ... can also create subtitles for movies, transcription for lectures and interviews."

Not really, space has been free for me. Electricity is very cheap usually here in Norway. And hardware are used servers from Ebay. Though these are actually desktop AMD x2 with 8GB ddr2 ECC memory on Asus motherboards. Still working fine, but I am planning to replace soon.
Modern Poker Theory by Michael Acevedo is considered a contemporary gold standard.
Forget VR. Even without VR 3d games gives me motion sickness. I wanted to play the much praised "The Witness" games by Jonathan Blow. Too sad i could not because of motion sickness. Has any one found a solution that worked to get rid of motion sickness?.

If you're in the EU it'll show you a GDPR choice then refer you to the text-only article if you decline:

It's too late to capture mobile platforms, not only because the market is stabilized but most importantly: computing moves to the cloud, where Microsoft is already a big player. IMHO there is no point for them to do that.
Opensubtitles became really frustrating to use once they began asking for a login and a password to download subtitles in VLC or Xbmc/kodi (basically every time you need to use the API). I always forgot about login details and in my opinion it wasn't needed at all for them except for profile tracking I guess. They forced people to register to get subtitles, they willingly forced people to increase their attack surface for not much benefits to users (and probably themselves).

edit: at the time I also was young and naive [0] and thought the open part of opensubtitles meant that people submitted subtitles in their free time out of their good heart and the site was simply hosting and organizing them, no problem with displaying ads on the website or at the beginning of the subs I thought, to make up for hosting costs. Subs hunting was so much fun at the time /s. But having to register to "prevent abuse" was a tad too much.

[0] still am by the way, thanks for asking :)
Also because a single large blast wastes a lot of energy, and is easier to intercept.

You’ll do way more damage way more reliably with 20 1MT warheads than with a single 20MT bomb.

But it required reliable ballistic missiles and M(I)RV. If your delivery mechanism is bombers, then at equiv-tech you have to account for high attrition rates, and thus need large payloads to ensure even low success rates will do the necessary damage to the target.
To respond more directly, I didn't mention any double standards between the US and countries with immoral policies. I'm not even sure what that means; it's a nonsensical statement, as double standards don't exist "between" countries, they only exist in terms of criticism. Specifically, they only exist where criticism is biased.

To your second point, you say the Warsaw Ghetto wasn't able to hold elections to form a democratic government because they "didn't have enough time"? It had absolutely nothing to do with not having enough time. The Ghetto was a transit point for people to be gassed, nothing more. Imagine if they were encouraged to form a democratically elected government and hold elections, like Gaza, and if those elections were backed and monitored by international human rights organizations, like Gaza's elections were. And imagine if what they voted in was a theocratic dictatorship who proudly proclaimed that their winning would signal the final democratic election, ever.

Finally, you might have misunderstood what I said. The Germans in my scenario are the Israelis - that is what the BDS people think. They think the Israelis are Germans, and the Palestinians are Jews. The only irony in the situation is that the people who think this are Germans and/or other Europeans who did not give a flying fuck about the Holocaust when it was happening, and now suddenly are gripped by conscience when one is not happening - insofar as they can still be antisemitic in polite company.
Chrysler building?
That's basically the job, and it sucks a lot of the time. That's also why they have to pay us so much - otherwise, most people would just go do something else (aka golden handcuffs).
I'm going to go a step further and say that I actually like to see contextual ads if they are not too obtrusive.
For example a company I'm not aware of might want to showcase a new product they have. I remember when I was reading physical magazines about computers the ads would often be like product listings of things that I might be looking to buy. If you're not interested you just flip the page. It worked alright.
And that is why most such efforts eventually die.

WG14 could naturally work into something like SDS for strings and arrays, but of course that is out of their goals to ever do that.
I think OP means that the train derailed, then people robbed it while it was stuck and couldn't flee.

I don't think the derailment caused all that crap to fly out of the train. Nor do I think that one train got looted, and the debris derailed the following train.
Read about solar radiation management. Space based approaches aren't necessary. You can put the equivalent of sunblock in the upper atmosphere or seed more low clouds. It's relatively cheap but there is a lot of opposition to the science.
I disagree. Every programming language is suffering from bloat and complexity now. We need one language, at least, to stand up against the madness and remain simple and stupid, even to the point of being dangerous - the old man yelling yelling at clouds of programming languages. That language could have been javascript, before all the nonsense with classes and templates and integers, but now maybe it should be C. Like, C doesn't even know what a string is, and I respect that. What even is a "string?" Sounds like unnecessary complexity to me. Raw pointers and bytes should be enough for anyone.
I don't remember the "artist", it's a blurry memory from 10 years ago. Quite possibly I'm misremembering the gender of the hand on the pictures.

That would include such socially useless people like school teachers and nurses, I guess.
One small tip I'd offer is... try chewing gum next time you're in VR.

I have almost 3,000 hours clocked in VR according to Steam and there are still a few games that can make me nauseous (mostly those with poor locomotion and/or bad frame drops). Weirdly enough, chewing gum seems to help a ton; in some games, I feel like I'm less nauseous next time I play, too. Not sure how scientific this is, but friends say the trick generally works for them too.
