Nested virtualisation is available for server cores starting from Neoverse V1 onwards, but not for Cortex…

Such script-kiddie behaviour should be reported to the authorities and they will trace the attacks back to them. They always do.

For context, the world needs $4T/yr[0] to transition to a zero carbon economy. It is kinda crazy to think about when you compare these two, considering how massive of a problem one is and how we often don't think about the other.

Where did you get these outlandish expectations of how much progress would have been made by now? The plan, above all else, was and is to eliminate wild polio virus. Even in the best case scenario, we’re still 5-10 years away from being able to declare it extinct, so you should expect the OPV is still going to be in use until then, and the risks of vaccine-derived polio will still have to be managed for a long time to come. Unfortunately not every country have done a perfect job of that, but it certainly is possible, as demonstrated by the majority of the world having zero cases.

> The Bill additionally proposes to remove the requirement to number all candidates on the ballot paper. This is a little more contentious as it introduces new electoral strategies and can impact both positively and negatively on voting outcomes.

I know that it may be impossible to have a voting system which is both strategy-proof and has other desirable properties, but I don't think this limitation requires that the available strategy actually be exploitable (or even findable) in practice by actual voters.

Unfortunately it seems that the mentioned Australian system (despite all its other benefits over FPTP) has exploitable strategies both with and without the complete ordering requirement, which gives a malicious administration one "bit" of control over the algorithm.

Even if they can't predict the magnitude of the effect, they could be tempted to flip that bit based on the direction of the expected change. From the defender's perspective, the fact that the magnitude is not predictable should be even more cause for concern.
I'd like to correct myself on this point, it seems that if Postgres picks custom_plan over generic_plan it will always re-plan (that is what custom_plan is, it takes the prepared statement parameters into account while generic_plan always uses the same plan regardless of the parameters). So it's a toss up whether Postgres will actually lock in the static query plan over the dynamic query plan.
Your point being what? You seem to be saying: "But it's still better with insurance and in any case it's not as ideal as I'd like (as an insured person with decent insurance)" Okay, and what about the simple fact that for those people (many millions of them) who do not have insurance, or have shitty, finicky insurance, this is still a considerable possible improvement?

You extrapolate your privileged position to create a whole criticism of a more viable and affordable way of buying medicine that many people outside your situation would maybe embrace because they lack the same options.

That doesn't appear in the data though.

Surely some portion of that behavior played into the numbers, but tax receipts basically just stalled for one year, and then continued on their normal growth trajectory.

If the effect were large, you would expect a decline in revenues in subsequent years.

People like to say investing is just gambling but gambling in games of chance is not at all like putting money into a market full of asymmetric information, irrational players, and fraud.

I'm curious of the eventual consequence of emoji development. Early Chinese characters were pretty much like pictograms. They have developed into a highly sophisticated abstract language / writing system, but its emoji-like aspects still remain today. The major shortcoming of today's emojis is that they are too hardware dependent and not hand-writable. It's interesting that the world is basically reinventing the same thing a few millenniums later.
Hardly the oldest. Doesn't anyone remember FEDERATION or FED2 from 1988?

Show HN: No-code alternative to Retool, Appsmith, Internal, etc.
Hi, founders!

We’ve actually launched quite some time ago, but (semi)pivoted a few times along the way.

Jet Admin is an app builder for creating internal tools, admin panels, dashboards, external portals, and so on without coding. You can connect to any backend, assemble a UI through the visual builder, and set up data binding, transformations, conditionals, etc. through the point-and-click interface.

If you need to, you can create custom HTTP, SQL queries, make data transformations with JS, and embed custom UI components.

We believe that product, data, operations teams should be able to build the very tools they use. And with HN being mostly the coder community, it’d be particularly interesting to hear your feedback/thoughts!

This was my process in school when compiling cheat sheets (Spickzettel in German).

It took at least two rounds condensing the information down onto such a small note. Often more.

After that I didn't need them for the test.

I only later understood that this was a great way to learn as a system.

In school it never occurred to me that I was learning. I thought I was trying to cheat and only got lucky to know stuff.
Certainly, if I lived somewhere with shit air quality, I'd prefer something indoor. But then if I was in the market for a peloton, I'd probably have enough money (which I don't and am not in either case) to live somewhere worthwhile instead of struggling to breath as soon as I step outside. At least, that's where I'd be trying to allocate my money. Idk why someone would want to be a part of a social network to interact with other people who are sitting in one place and who bought the same product. Seems like the friendship would be pretty shallow.
I work on educational devices/content for laparoscopic procedures. It looks like we’re going into robotic as well. I find that this kind of information can be quite tricky to extract from the internet.

Certainly a trend to move away from it.

For example, Amira is a package that has been around about 30 years and uses it to script rendering. On the other hand a competitor (Carl Zeiss), a decade ago did a rewrite of their software and choose python (among others) as a scripting language. Nikon also developed their own language that resembles basic/C#.

Asking your users to script in TCL rather than something like python is sadistic, and a position advocated by aging neckbeards.

If it was that simple, I would applaud the new era of surveillance. Unfortunately, some people will be above the law, while others will be subjected to it.

If privacy laws were actually repealed, and everyone saw what everyone else was doing, it might not be so bad. It’s the unfairness of it that really stinks.
I bought a gps app several years ago after testing it out on my phone. It had everything I wanted and was fast and smooth on my phone. Next year I wanted to use it for a long trip but then it was updated, they had rewritten it from scratch. Most of the functions I liked were gone and the thing was slow like I have never seen. Battery drain was big, the phone got scorching hot. Now after 8 years it still does not have all the functions it had when I bought it and it's still too slow to be used even after changing to faster phone a couple of times.

And still people are so fast to convert to latest frameworks and do complete rewrites. Most of the time recreating bugs they thought they got rid of many years ago. Or just make loads of new bugs. Or make it so slow on old phones that it can't be used any more.

Hard to say as the firmware isn't in the repo as far as I could see. Most of the ARM camera interfaces are 14 bit parallel buses so it probably has one input. The cameras also output 10 bit parallel so I imagine it multiplexes somehow. You can capture at 60 fps so provided you hardware trigger the sensors you could read out at 30 and still be OK.

If you want something that'll do this, Cypress/Infineon makes a USB3 chip specifically for camera control. I think people have also modified the FX3 for multiple cameras. Omni also have an asic I think, but good luck if you're not selling a billion units.

How trival are we talking? I haven't merged someone else's code, but I'd think that for sufficiently trivial patches, the maintainer just reads it and copy-pastes most of it manually to the relevant place in the code. This seems no bother.
Debatable. GP basically ignores all the interesting parts of the article being posted in order to simply say the usual spiel about how much HN hates crypto. The relevance to the original article is close to nil.

I'm calling them out for that -- perhaps in a way that's too terse, but at least I'm not completely derailing the conversation like they're doing. But thank you for prompting a longer response from me.
If publishers wanted Google to not index their data without paying for it, they'd already asked them not to index, robots.txt and what not? I find it more likely that Google would come up with some sort of API that publishers can register, so that Google can get in (and 12ft can not)?
Good points but the suggested alternatives are ignoring the most important piece of tech we have for synchronizing content: git. My problem with ActivityPub is that when you export your content, you get a big binary file that can't be incrementally updated.

I think you're absolutely right that what matters is the community rather than the hosting company. But what I think the article misses is that plenty of those kinds of communities organise themselves on sites like reddit - especially since reddit was largely seeded by communities that moved over from digg, so they already know that these sites come and go. Lots of subreddits have some degree of succession plan in place, with external sites, wikis, discords etc.. Some of them already collect "best posts" into these off-reddit archives (and, sure, it's well worth reminding these communities that you need to set that kind of thing up sooner rather than later - but it's a big leap from that to "leave reddit immediately").

This game was so incredibly beautiful and enforced lifelong friendships and also just a general understanding of different cultures around the world (especially because of the poor graphics; it was playable for any kind of computer). I started somewhere in 2001/2002 (I was 11 or 12) and have played it intensively to on-and-off up until I started taking my career more seriously 5 years ago. The game is like crack and I found myself returning to it every now and then and it would always make me forget about space and time.

In the early days playing this game everything was just so incredibly hard. It would just take an incredible grind to level-up and you were always wary if someone came to ruin your day for whatever reason (because if you would be ambushed and die, you would lose up to 10% of your total ex). This also made you take the game super serious and so friends would show up and help out if you did get into a fight, to try and help you. It also wasn’t abnormal to have to “mana sit”(sitting around, doing nothing but wait for your mana — your magic skill - to regain) for hours on end to be able to make runes that would let you “hunt” for half an hour (because you couldn’t buy them in stores)

I found it so incredibly rude of CipSoft (the maker of the game) that they kept “ruining” the game by, well, making it more approachable to newer generations of players (automated aiming, more ways to heal yourself, lower damage dealing to other players, outfits-and-animals, buying/selling items in Stores) but now, working in Product, I completely understand the decisions they made (it’s a business, after all).

I still miss playing this game, the old game, incredibly much and I think there is still a market for an OG versions. The last years I used to play mostly on open-source servers that tried to emulate those OG mechanics. RealOTS, one of the more succesful ones, managed to recreate that initial experience — also giving me lifelong friends again.

Man, what a beautiful game.
Love it, basically the core truth of most rewrites I have seen throughout my career.
This simplistic black/white view is a very dangerous position, perpetuating the “war is ok” mentality.

> YC wields power and can crowd out early stage investors

YC IS an early stage investor. Early stage investing has been a cutthroat competitive market since before YC existed to become yet another a competitor. YC started from zero, as an unknown, underfunded startup not even in California, against well-entrenched, large incubators like IdeaLab (funded by billionaire Bill Gross) etc.

YC began to land deals and grow through innovation and risk-taking like offering better valuations, offering fixed terms that were standard on all deals, and by offering radical transparency. They probably weren't the very first to ever offer any of these but, as far as I know, they were the first to offer ALL of these innovations at once on every deal and to make that knowledge freely available to startups before they even made contact.

Today these kinds of terms have become almost common but I've been around long enough to remember that when I first heard of YC's terms in their early days (probably year 2 or 3) it not only sounded radical - it sounded downright crazy. Every one of their innovations was dramatically more attractive and beneficial to startups than the status quo at the time. They single-handedly created the niche they now lead and earned every bit of their success in the wildly free market of early stage startup investing.

Technical regulatory definitions aside, the idea that a true monopoly could even exist in startup investing is ridiculous on its face.
User error is an order of magnitude more dangerous than scams.

Estimates suggest 4 million bitcoin are lost due to user error [1]. Estimates also suggest $14B per year of cryptocurrency is lost to scams. [2]

At $40k per bitcoin this suggests 350,000 bitcoin are lost each year to scams and theft, ignoring all other cryptocurrencies. This would take 11 years to add up to 4 million lost to user error.

Testnets are good for overcoming user error. Please learn on testnets to your heart's content.

The use case for 10BASE-T1S isn't quite clear to me. I get that you can do multidrop ethernet, which would simplify things a lot; no need to add switches or daisy chain anymore. And it's also not too slow, and you only need two wires.

But are microcontrollers with ethernet common? How cheap are they? A MAC needs a lot of pins compared to CAN which will increase footprint. And to really take full advantage of ethernet, you need a good networking stack and a solid set of utilities and applications on top. So Linux is the way to go in that case. But then you need a big processor with external RAM, eMMC, PMIC, several layer board, and don't forget a couple of Linux weirdos (speaking as one) who can actually develop in that environment. A lot of embedded guys can understand CAN pretty easily; show them gRPC and their heads may explode.

So I guess the use case is: embedded system with a lot of Linux boards that don't need that much bandwidth? Does that accurately reflect the architecture of a modern car?

You left out the most important part. Sexy is a moving target. By the time your multiple years of incremental work moving it over are done, the new technology will be old and unsexy. Heck, in some cases the very fact that you(uncool
company) use it will cause it to be unsexy.
Here's what I don't understand about this: you won't do the long division in your head, so clearly, you'll have to memorise, for common interest rates, that 72/2 = 36, 72/3 = 24, 72/4 = 19, 72/5 = 15, and so on.

At that point, why wouldn't you just remember that "at 2 %, compounding doubles in 36 periods" and so on? Why the indirection through 72?

(Obviously, if you need a more accurate calculation or you don't remember the division, you'll probably use an electronic calculator, and then you might as well compute the compounding directly. The only exception I can think of is if you don't have access to an electronic calculator but do have a slide rule at hand. This is very rare these days.)

Curiously, this criteria didn't apply to Ginni, Sam and the like.

Also, it seemed so weird to me that IBM's primary goal had to be to pump share value to $200 by selling whatever they could sell, with the sole long term advantage was for the very same managers who held share options, and were close to retirement.

e.g. tax receipts increasing over time

so this years was bigger than the two years before (hence the biggest)

which would suggest a positive/growing trend
Not too sure about it. What I mean is that most of those software companies rise to the top in the last 20 years or so, and a lot of what is deemed worthwhile technology already existed at the time, be it Java, Ruby, Python or else.

What did evolve is the arrival of the client side frameworks. It's a change, but is it better? I don't think there's enough evidence today to definitively say so.
The extra ones are usually kept in the closet, I believe.
