>>It's just what it is, you'd have to crack the DRM on it and that's already a violation of the DMCA.

I don't live on the US and there's literally nothing illegal about dumping a switch ROM here. DMCA doesn't have any authority here. Besides, even in US you have the right to make a copy of the media you own and this particular scenario hasn't been tested in court so at best you are speculating.

>>Let's be honest for a second, almost no one who's running a switch emulator legally purchase those games, and then dumped those games to a file.

Where I live you can legally just download a copy of a game that you own and play that, nothing illegal about that.

>>Sure, it's possible but that's not what 99.9% of users are going to do.

Even then, that's not a reason for Nintendo to remove those videos from YouTube. Just like a video explaining how to use a torrent client shouldn't be removed, even though "probably" 99.9% of users use torrents to pirate content.

Did you forget the entire discussion last year about the takedown of Youtube-DL? Just because something might be used illegally doesn't make it illegal.

>>You attempt to install Windows on a Steam Deck, but it looks like nothing works yet

Right, that part I'll admit I wasn't aware of.
Well it's definetly "niche" in that it's not sold in general stores and you have to order it 6 months in advance since Valve can't make them in large quantities at the moment. That's gonna be a deal killer for most consumers for now.

Best case scenario it is plug and play for Deck verified games bought on Steam. If you want to play a game you own on GOG or the Epic store that's already going to require some tinkering to get it working in handheld mode if the experience is anything like trying to get the steam controller to work with other stores on PC. Similarly anything not sold on Steam (Including any Ubisoft game or Blizzard game these days I think).

And all the parts of the Steam catalogue that just aren't verified to run well.

Usually it's the company's fault someone doesn't know about it because there's no one place to share information. It could be in Slack, email, wiki, Google Doc, checked into the github repo with the software, checked into some unrelated repo where some team decided to document code, I've even seen a team use an outsourced wiki host that only they had access to and they'd put documentation there. When you asked for the doc (assuming you knew that you had to ask for it), they'd print a page as PDF and send it to you.

If they want to be hands-off and let teams put documentation where it works the best for that team, they should have a good search engine that will search across all those spaces.
If by "market" you mean "money to pay for it", I think possibly not.

> How can I know that an order I receive to launch my missiles came from a sane president?

> The president alone authorizes a nuclear launch and the two-man rule does not apply to him.

These two sentences are quite frightening on their own, but even more so given the likelihood that this will become a reality at some point.
I've noticed this too. My hunch is that it's a consequence of greater mobility.

Getting buried in a cemetary has much less appeal when it's either in a town you haven't been to since you moved away decades ago, or in some city you moved to as an adult and where none of your family live or are likely to visit.

When cemetaries have no real sense of meaningful permanence to people, there's no point in leaving your body in one.

Be cautious not to fall for propaganda. From both sides.

I've read conflicting statements about how Russian speaking Ukrainians are treated in Ukraine but it's also not obvious to me why it should be so much worse in Donbass versus the rest of Ukraine.

Just because there is a different language doesn't mean that there is automatically a cultural divide.

Hmm, in modern units 9 billion square feet is 840 million square meters. Wikipedia says the US is 9.8 million square kilometers. By your numbers, then, the USAns would run out of space to bury their dead in 1.2 million years if they were perfectly preserved.

I might be misinterpreting, but it sounds like you're saying that not only shouldn't we bury dead people, we shouldn't even contemplate burying them, or we should contemplate burying them in a sustainable way. (Your writing also admits the interpretation that we should bury people without thinking about it.) But I think your numbers clearly show that burying people in the US is sustainable at its current population. If there were 30 billion people in the US they'd run out of space sooner, in only 12,000 years, which is maybe near enough to be concerned about whether the cadavers would degrade fast enough. Even then, though, I don't see this as a serious problem.
I am good at remembering numbers & phone numbers too!. And its similar to what you mentioned. I can recite my whole phonebook if needed, even for numbers punched 15+ years ago.

I see numbers as notes. So each unique number - say my college ID, my aunt's cell number or my driving license is a MIDI tune in my head.

Also, visually each number is like a 'identity' - not a numeral. When I had a image processing class, running an edge detector on binary images was fun. I could guess the potrait/image just looking at the numbers (just like how you'd guess animal shapes in a connect-the-dots game)
I read an interesting book a long time ago. The crux of it was, "We spend a huge amount of money on the students with the bottom 2% of IQ, why don't we spend just as much on the top 2%". The standard argument was that the top 2% will find their own way and be just fine. I suppose that is true, but I don't think there were any studies to back that up.
> Most game are not priced at zero...

Most games in a retail setting, sure. But there are plenty of online free games, more than you can count.

> an implied "all" versus an implied "some".

The absence of a modifier means "in general", not "some". C'mon, this is basic English. You know it, I know it.

> The counter-example if games alone

Neither you nor I have any idea how many free games are out there.

> Regulation can effect costs, but it's far from the only factor

I didn't say it was the only factor. Sheesh. I'd prefer you stop inserting words into what I wrote to create a strawman.

> Central to that cultural history has also been the notion of meritocracy, going back to the Mandarin bureaucrat-scholars who obtained their positions through the imperial examination system. More recently, China’s communists have attempted to run a more vibrant economy by reintroducing meritocracy — and not just in government.

I want to point out that the "notion of meritocracy" in the Chinese imperial examination system was a myth. The amount of time and energy required to study for these examinations, the resources required to acquire the knowledge necessary to pass them, and the myriad ways that connections could help one bypass various steps of the process all added up to a system which heavily favored the elite while nominally remaining open to all. Needless to say there are some strong parallels to the state of education in the United States in the 21st century...
From a young age I tended to assign gender to the lower numbers, no idea why. It’s roughly an even / odd thing, but not always. For example, 1 is male, 2 is female. 3 male, 4 female, 5m, 6f, 7m, 8f, 9f, 10m, 11m, 12f, …

About Beacon AI:

Beacon AI is building the industry's best AI Copilot that will be adaptable to a broad spectrum of aircraft. We provide value through the optimization of flight and the implementation of decision-making tools that support pilots throughout every flight. Our goal - optimized aviation operations from planning to debrief, while driving aviation related safety incidents down to zero.

About the team:

Our team is a mix of autonomous car software engineering (Cruise) and aviation (Navy & Marine Corps). We have deployed bleeding edge safety critical machine-learning code in the real world, and have thousands of hours of flight time. Our infra team is responsible for working with edge devices, our cloud and data lake, data pipelines, and application infrastructure. We are looking for capable, multi-discipline engineers to join our growing team - bonus points if you have an interest in aviation or transportation safety!

About the role:

We have two openings on our cloud/infrastructure engineering team. Infra is at the heart of enabling our data platform to get the right information to the right place at the right time. The roles will involve IoT/edge device support similar to a self-driving car company's, as well as engineering data pipelines, application pipelines, and handling massive datasets. Desired but not required:
++ Experience with time-series and binary (audio, video) data
++ Experience with leading serverless technology from major cloud offerings (AWS, GCP, Azure)
+ Given aspects of the IoT infra role, it is preferred for this role if you are in the Bay Area or could be regularly.

At $49/month, it’s a fairly significant expense. Good if you’re using it for other stuff already, but not exactly cheap otherwise. (There’s also $39/month annually, but $468 is well past the cost of second-hand hardware.)

> What item #3 tells you is that any performance gains in the last decade and a half you've experienced have been driven by multi-core, not faster processors

I think there are other effects too. Things like larger caches, smarter branch predictors, wider cores, etc. My 2021 processor (Apple M1 Pro) benches roughly twice as fast as my 2015 processor (Intel Core i5 2.7Ghz) in both synthetic and real-world single-core workloads.

That's not as big an improvement as we would have seen over that time period in the 90s, but it's a significant improvement none-the-less.

Anything emitting radio waves can be a beacon for airstrikes. Is there any reason to believe the Russian military is going to start targeting random Starlink installations? Does Russia have air superiority to even conduct airborne EW to locate the beacons?

Or is this just FUD and someone wanting to get their voice in about any possible intersection of (HOT TOPIC) & (MY SPECIALTY)?
This isn't particularly helpful/insightful. Considering that, for example, waiting for cache is meaningfully expressed in processor cycles, having that piece of data in ns isn't particularly useful.

Mutex locking perf also is a bit suspect, since probably nobody had multi-core CPUs pre-2003, meaning mutex locks/unlocks were simple memory writes, no shared cache invalidation involved.

The only latency stats that can be meaningfully expressed in ns are the network and disk latencies.
I hate this kind of behaviour, where people prioritise themselves and their own egos or insecurities over the project or mission. In my experience it's fairly common in large companies, which have the resources to work around it, but it's devastating in startups.

On one occasion I've was blamed for not doing my job, a senior role in a startup, despite the fact that mine was the only job that was successfully completed (a product launch). That can be a real problem when the incomplete jobs include things like capital raising and sales.

I think you often get this behaviour from people who are working outside of their experience. The revert to processes, book-smarts and magic bullets, instead of using experience and seeking goals. When nothing from the book seems to work, they lash out at others. "If only you did what the book said this wouldn't have happened!"

Since every book you read will tell you something different, there is a ready source of material to support such a person's attitude, which seems to have the effect of reinforcing it.
The interesting part is that it say nothing about performance. Single-core benchmarks have gotten significantly faster over that time period.

If anything, the takeaway is that things like memory/cache access, branch prediction failures, and mutexes have gotten more expensive. They didn't scale while the rest of the CPU sped up!

But even that isn't really true, because it doesn't tell you anything about branch prediction hit/miss rate, memory prefetching, instruction reordering, hyperthreading, etc. For a fair historic comparison you'd have to look at something like the cumulative time the execution units of a core are stalled due to waiting for something.

Honestly, the actual numbers aren't even all that relevant. It isn't really about the time individual operations take, but about the budget you have to avoid a latency penalty.
Yea, plus why tf would we want billionaires in charge? They already are and things are completely fucked

If you don't daily drive an iPhone and you don't want to buy into Apples ecosystem, why do you want to develop for their ecosystem (which of course requires $100 a year to do so)? Genuinely curious cause I see a lot of people with this sentiment, is it for work related purposes or something? Or testing of web work potentially?
Two factor is a challenge with development (for IAP sandbox) accounts. I have to be careful to constantly not turn on two factor for test accounts. The iPhone will keep prompting me to opt-in, but I don't have several spare phone numbers or '2nd Apple' trusted devices for 2FA.

While I support 2FA usage, I wish there was a way to say 'I understand the risks and do not want 2FA on this account'.
Steel costs 50 cents a kg. You could probably make do with a rough casting of cast iron. It might cost US$100. By contrast current coffins commonly exceed US$5000 in rich countries.

> To prepare a grave site for this screw in type of Easy Inter Burial Container installation, a drilling auger, such as those commonly used on a power-take-off attached on the working arm of a tractor backhoe, is used to bore a pilot hole in the direction of the intended Easy Inter Burial Container installation (See FIG. 28). The depth of this hole is usually about half the length of the Easy Inter Burial Container and approximately half its diameter, depending upon the type and condition of the earth or receiving material in which the burial is to be made. Adding an amount of water to the hole aids in causing the earth or receiving material to displace and more readily pack around the Easy Inter Burial Container as well as helps lubricate the passage of the hull and threads or fins during installation.
> For example, there's a moral dilemma where person A complains about ads and person B says "yeah but how should content producers get paid?" Brave gives us a third option: basic authentication tokens[1].

Changing the currency in which ad revenue is denominated does not fundamentally change the problem.

Handwavey "but tokens!" does not change the fact that looking at a creator's webpage does not generate money. Attention is valuable, but attention itself does not mint tokens, and does not pay creators. Someone has to write a check for an ad placement.

I think that's why I never bought into the whole BAT scheme: they have never once said where the money is supposed to come from. For fiat dollars to reach creator bank accounts so that they can pay their bills, those dollars have to come from somewhere other than ERC20 speculators. Are they expecting ad-replacement advertisers to buy BAT? Are they expecting Brave to subsidize creators directly via BAT payments via BAT appreciation increasing the value of Brave's token holdings when ERC20 speculators buy BAT?

None of it makes sense. Where does the revenue come from?

Exact same for me for about four or five years post. I eventually came across my (extremely normal) name in an article about common names that were on the watch list and causing issues for many Americans. Even members of Congress were caught by it. Unfortunately, that article came out a few years of no airline agent being able to tell be why I couldn’t check in for my flight. They were cagey every time I asked.
That's not really how it's done in practice though, fwiw. Large tech firms mostly try to quantify "impact" and that can mean a lot of things. You could have very large name recognition by doing a lot of outreach, like talks. Being a bit reductive, that's like promoting someone for their sense of celebrity. Then there's folks who save quantifiable dollars or improve some process by some nominal percentage of $success_metric for their impact. Wrangling a large project usually is pretty arbitrary and not on a single engineer - in fact, most of them are committee based.

Funding doesn't seem to do much to make a school desirable. By far and away the biggest factor that determines how good a school is is the socioeconomic status of the parents. A school doesn't need more money to be better at educating, it just needs better students. If they happen to form a critical mass at a low-funded school, then that'll become an elite school.

Do you think your attitude has any effect on the people you work with? When you think of their job as easier and taking less focus than your own — despite knowing little about the challenges of their work — do you ever wonder if they’re making the same assumptions about your work?
Yeah, but I think OC’s point is the first coworker isn’t impossible to deal with if you treat the first interaction with care.

If you get an off putting response, instead of hammering them with facts and trying to prove them wrong, maybe back up a minute and try to uncover what’s really going on.

Maybe you haven’t done your job on telling them why X is important to them or the company.

If I know how important something is, I don’t mind doing a little extra leg work to understand what you’re trying to tell me.

Personally it seems kind of rude to me to ask someone to review something that’s disjointed or missing info and expect them to search for the missing pieces. Most people I know are fairly busy at their jobs and you’re adding one more thing on their plate and you’re not even their boss.

If it’s really that important to you, take the time to communicate it to me clearly and simply. Otherwise, it’s like you’re passive aggressively asking me to do your work for you without giving me a good reason why I should stop what I’m doing and help you.

This is a bold take to believe in Ukraine propaganda and your own experiences. Trust me I am a very rational well-read geopolitical expert in power politics from California. Everything is about the USA, NATO, Russia and China. Little people like the Ukrainians have no agency or will of their own so surely one of the big players made them resist Russia for their own ends. Otherwise why would any country want to orient towards the EU instead of staying in the thriving few countries that are still heavily influenced by Moscow
By that definition probably most of us HN folk are greedy capitalist pigs and proud of it. Thank you for the compliment.
