> Plenty of opportunity in all kinds of software. Ad supported webapps get the headlines because they (or at least the ones you're thinking about) aggregate really well, but there's a lot of work out there.

> Academic physics research is not very useful economically, since we've figured out most of the stuff that will ever contribute to engineering needs -- building stuff that real people benefit from -- in our lifetimes. Not all! But most.

My phone lasts a day on a battery because we've managed to turn off the CPU as much as possible - we've got a supercomputer in our pocket that we can't use at its full capacity because battery technology isn't advancing. Academic physics research is not very useful economically because we've defined "useful economically" as "able to be converted into profits within 2-5yrs", and unfortunately we did that about 20 years ago, so the whole thing's sorta running on fumes right now.
Hey Ruurtjan! Funny just replied to you on Twitter yesterday :)

I think any switch actually counts irregardless.

I feel you on the uncertainty thing. Quite honestly don't think you ever can escape this feeling. What helps is sort of going backwards from your imagined lifestyle that you want to live and how much you need.

Generally there is always a conflict of how much $ can I earn on the job and maximise my retirement account vs risking it with potential autonomy factor but less or no $.

Think the best we can do is just try to accept that feeling and do the best to achieve the financial needs necessary to keep going.
Hi I’m currently working through this book and it’s as hands on as they come. You essentially build, and deploy a video streaming micro service application as a dockerized container. I am a python guy and I am still able to Follow the node.js code example as it’s well documented. Give it a shot,

The PowerVR stuff is just very common for devices in that era, and the N900 is specifically the one I've seen questions about regarding the new drivers.

The GPU this driver is for is also only 2 years newer than the N900, not that far off :P

PowerVR still has some future since they're going for risc-v SoCs now where Mali doesn't exist.

Vanced is a modified version of the official Youtube app. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure it's a copyright violation to distribute modified versions of someone else's software without their permission.

What's probably not illegal to distribute is the source code for the tools they used to generate those modified Youtube apps, so I'm a bit surprised by how adamantly they're refusing to do so in this post.
Heat pumps are awesome, with the exception that they seem extremely prone to poor installation. My brother had 16 callbacks on his 20k heat pump install. Every time, the system had to be recharged with a complete load of the refrigerant (which is like 2000x GWP of CO2).

Basically the installers didn’t bother with a torque wrench and just hand tightened all the connectors. The broke every single one, and the install company would only replace one at a time.. then it would leak.. then they replaced another etc.
It took decades since its introduction for doctors to recognize morphine was dangerously addictive, so the fact that social media isn't currently something commonly worried about on a clinical level doesn't really say much.

>folks who insist that the equality of men and women is literal

As far as I can tell, this opinion, held without qualification, is beyond fringe - it is vanishingly rare, and frequently pointed to as a strawman in arguments about [in]equality (see the dead sarcastic comment in this very thread: "This is considered highly controversial in 2022"). I hate to say "non-existent", because somebody will find some example, but even then, usually when I see a supposed example of it, it is actually an example of something dramatically lesser, like "women can be as strong as men", or "women are just as [metaphorically] strong as men", not the ridiculous "women and men have no inherent differences, literally", which can only exist as a form of provocation, not an earnest opinion. It seems like a distraction to insinuate otherwise, designed to create an easily mocked image to be projected onto people who don't actually match the description.
> Text is no more robust to random bit flips

Erm, a single bitflip will ruin, at maximum, a single character, which probably has enough context around it to be easily manually repaired.

Not so pretty much any compressed, encrypted or binary format... either a large chunk of it gets undecodable or the whole thing is lost.
I think your argument is valid for something Linux where you can actually decouple those things. Technically, it is still true for windows, but practically it isn't. What you get from Microsoft is a complete OS without any officially sanctioned way to decouple the OS part (kernel and perhaps a few critical user land utils) and windowing system.
I am a hardcore PC gamer.. but last Christmas I was at the in-law's place and we had a blast trying out a bunch of stadia pro offerings. So much so that I seriously considered buying FIFA on stadia. I just think there's too much of occasional lag on cloud gaming which makes it only suitable for casual gaming.

Unemployment for migrant workers means they won't come so that isn't a problem.

The real problem is machines can't replace those jobs or they would have. 25/h would mean very high prices for local food so everything will come via imports.

While well written, I've never found Ur-Fascism to be useful in any real way.

What he describes is sufficiently general to cover almost any political movement.
I disagree. Schools were founded on the principle that the best and brightest minds will teach the new generation (this goes all the way back to Athens). If you separate the researchers into a "research university" and the other students into "trade schools" eventually you'll just make the class divide all that much worse because the lower tier schools will attract only those teachers who are more interested in pedagogy than the subject, or who themselves are not as qualified.

If you were a student (or the parent of a student) looking to advance in your field, and you had the choice, would you choose Harvard or say a local community college trade school? It's easy to make massive sweeping sociological choices for the public without considering that you yourself would not make that choice. Obviously, multiply your preferences times every student in the field.

If you want to say there's a funding crisis and you want to deal with that funding crisis in some other way, then yes, I agree.

Also, I don't personally care for sports. I still think they have a place at a University, just not to the extent that they're funded. If independent undergraduate research projects were awarded (and advertised!) with the same funding as sports teams and sports teams had their funding lowered, I think that might be interesting. Incubator lab competitions in science research projects that would have the results published in journals. Start up accelerators with paid promotions etc etc.

How else to organize the budget at universities I don't know how to speculate. It means that with a finite amount of money some resource is getting cut somewhere and someone else is having an increase in endowment which gets super political. I'm also not necessarily sure that cutting liberal arts is a good idea. Many of the people I went to school with (at least one I helped pass advanced maths...) spent the majority of their time drinking and ended up working in investment banks. Forcing them to read a little poetry or sit through a lecture or two on a few sociology courses is maybe a good idea so that when they're out there ruling the (financial) universe they have a bit of awareness of the way the rest live.

My thoughts for what they're worth.
70% in support of the war is the same fictitious number as the 90%(or whatever) that voted for Putin. Don't believe Putin's lies.
Schools have been doing these things for years and yet half of HN have their degrees and have a start-up or two that have a direct line from connections developed at the unis they got their degrees in. Come on, universities doing morethanonething isn't what changed which caused student debt to explode. I'm not saying these are not problems but there literally is no through-line, it doesn't make sense as an explanation for why student debt has ballooned!

Tell HN: Did you know you can negotiate price on many things?
I learned this late in life, but I came to realize that for anything you buy from a small business or from someone on commission, you can negotiate.

After reading about it on Reddit, I‘ve shown up to hotels and gotten 40% off initial price.

At Guitar Center, you can negotiate the price of guitars.

I’ve seen people negotiate a round of shots in NYC.

Note: the common use of net-metering tends to involve paying the property owner cash in return for excess production, and this is definitely facing opposition.

However, there are sometimes (often?) alternatives in which the utility banks excess production and trades it during times of low production on a 1:1 basis. I have not read that this sort of scheme faces the same sort of opposition from utilities (and some legislators) as "cash for kW".
I think some folks are missing the really neat thing about this: remote play.

Steam supports playing games remotely on another computer. So your desktop is doing the heavy lifting, but you can view the game on your TV in the livingroom. Now you can be playing the game on your Chromebook as well.

Then the next step is that Google Cloud offers you an on demand high end gaming machine, pay by the minute, which runs Steam on Windows x86 and has an instant VPN to your Chromebook.

I set this up successfully once on an AWS machine and a very low end laptop running Ubuntu, but I couldn't get the hardware accelerated video encoding to work right. 3 seconds per frame made the game hilariously unplayable, but it did function.
Your first three bullets are all the same thing. “How to think” and knowledge of culture are marketable skills, as is experience with cutting-edge research.

I don’t know where you got the idea that learning about “art” is an essential job of college. I wish it were, but it’s not. And I agree that college sports are too big of their own business.

Fundamentally you cannot “train” people for jobs that don’t exist yet. I went to college only 2 decades ago and nothing remotely like my job existed at the time.

You can educate people in college though, and that is what is required to keep our society moving forward. (And prevent it from sliding backward.)
Review: Syntax-Guided Synthesis
Yeah, I specifically said "identify as Christian" when thinking about this; he's said a number of things that make it clear that is how he's presenting himself politically (e.g. something about how the only book he liked better than his "The Art of the Deal" was the bible, and like, I certainly don't know how devout, say, Rutherford B. Hayes was, so it seems reasonable not to count him separately.

I think that 95% social is pretty important. I know it was for me. If I knew everything I know now about software after high school I could have gotten a good job, but coming out of high school I was socially completely inept. College accelerated me so much in that regard that I honestly can’t imagine my life without it today.

Vomit. Was Tom Swift an self-centered emerald scion who got lucky with money and poured it into his pet projects? News to me.

Seriously, Musk came into a ton of money in the dot-com era, knew how to maintain that money because of his background, seems to be a capable hands-on project manager and natural self-marketing. You surely know people smarter than him who didn't acquire the mass amounts of money required to do what he does; I certainly do.
Ah, but you see - there is a difference in how theming works in Windows 11, in that it's different from the high-contrast mode. So, you can get a control that swaps the theme to high-contrast (you need to use the native Windows API for that), but you can't get one that works with the Windows 11 style of dark theme out-of-the-box without re-writing it from zero.
I'm generally fine with dogs, but the typical American dog owners' entitled attitudes do get a bit grating. And when one's approaching one of my kids without a leash or a hyper-attentive owner (which is extremely common, even on kids playgrounds where they're not allowed to be off-leash), it makes my blood pressure spike. The most recent time, it was just to eat my kid's cookie, but I've heard too many direct anecdotes to just be chill about it.
As a moderator of multiple NSFW subreddits a factor not accounted for in this article is spam. The subreddits I moderate do most permit content from commercial (eg OnlyFans) accounts. These types if accounts constitute the bulk of our removals.

Being sex positive doesn't mean you need to let your community become overrun with commercial solicitation. In communities without OF rules, you see the some content spammed across dozens of subreddits. There is no engagement with the community. If this behavior is left unchecked it leads to the erosion and eventual death of the community.

Tolerated? It's been encouraged for at least two decades, under the name "affirmative action".

> Educated worker has higher job mobility and is able to respond quickly to shifting business needs.

Well, a worker with a college degree has higher job mobility. The worker being educated may be orthogonal. And I'm not sure if becoming educated increases one's ability to respond quickly to shifting business needs.

And it's also part of the problem, as I see it. Decades ago, one could switch industries or fields much more easily because of the lack of expectation of a specific college degree. Today one is much more "locked out" of other fields if they don't have that degree, and people feel trapped because they see no path to a higher paying career without taking on a ton of loans and risk to go to college (for the first time or for another degree).

I think we need to be honest with ourselves and acknowledge a lot (but not all) of higher education is arbitrary gatekeeping, and it's long past time to rein in the "arbitrary" part.
> > Did they make the wrong decision?

> Yes

You’re not actually answering the question I posed. My question was, assuming XYZ amount of dollars are going to be spent on education, did they make the right or the wrong decision by making sacrifices to pay for their kids instead of letting/forcing their kids to take out loans?

The question you answered was, “should a lot of money be spent on education in the first place?”. And sure, I’d agree, we all should have gone to community college for 2 years and then the state flagship, that would have been the most cost effective, bang-for-buck solution. I was the in-state kid, and also the youngest, and that’s not a coincidence; I saw what it cost my dad.

My point is that if there’s a suspension of contract law, regardless of whether you’ve spent a lot or a little on education, you’re punishing those who budgeted for it and rewarding those that didn’t. Whether it’s a lot of money or a little money, you’re fucking over the honest people.
No. The proposal was to generate the perceptual hash on device at the time of uploading to iCloud. It would not be doing any scanning on-device. The comparison to the CSAM database would still happen on Apple's servers.

I stopped playing Minecraft recently again. I first quit a few years ago, but wanted to show it to my young son. Trying to go back and EVEN JUST INSTALL it now is filled with Microsoft-ian circles of login catastrophe and "upgrade your account" nightmares.

The installation process was so difficult, I will never play again.
> This implies that wearing a mask will prevent covid infection.

There are at least two orders of magnitude difference in efficacy depending on what type of mask you happen to be wearing and what the fit is[1].

And that's assuming OP is the only party wearing a mask. If all parties are wearing them then it's four orders of magnitude depending on mask type/fit.

I don't know what the actual time-to-infection is for Omicron. But that's quite a spread in mask efficacy to blithely encapsulate with the single word "mask." Given that, I don't think it makes sense to talk about "masks" without specifying which category of mask. It's like talking about "latency" in audio-- unless users prefix it with "round trip" they are almost certain to misunderstand what it is they are measuring and will end up just confusing themselves further.

> It will not, look at a place like South Korea or Singapore to see why that's just not reality.

But OP is OP, not an entire country of citizens. And we already know a subset of citizens called "nurses" can learn to wearing a tight-fitting, uncomfortable NIOSH-approved N95 for extended periods of time. If OP wants to do that when buying groceries, OP will likely lower the risk of infection for themselves. And hell, at some point somebody is probably going to create a decent mask that is both tight-fitting and not so painful to wear. Maybe by that point there will even be a better indication of what the actual time to infection for Omicron is.

This was years ago now, but I got thru college with a Macbook Air using the "Office Online" apps because the native apps were so unbelievably sluggish and resource hungry. Somehow the web apps were more performant.
That’s a nonsensical number from some clickbait article.

The deaths are from impoverished countries like India where rabid dogs run rampant and people are too poor to get treatments.

The 4.5 million bites (not individuals bit) is a discredited number based on some projections from ER visits and other reports where no standard protocol for reporting exists. It’s similar to the drunk driving related statistics, where if you are a drunk cab passenger and the car get into an accident it is considered “alcohol related”.
I was a "only have a Macbook Air" person for a while. You end up sticking to small indie things, but there's lots of games that work on the old integrated graphics stack, available on Steam.
I've been using Linux for 21 years. I currently have to deal with maintaining specialty software for 50+ computers.

From everything I've seen I dread upgrading to Windows 11 only slightly less than just figuring out how to convert it all to work on Linux somehow. I imagine like everyone I will put it off until the last possible second.

No need to reply about how you can do everything on Linux now, until wine works perfectly with $100k equipment that only works with Windows software from 2004 100% of the time it's too risky ;-)

The point is that I understand how much of a pain it would be to convert to using Linux and still think it could potentially be worth it compared to upgrading to Windows 11. I would never consider it at all if it was just an OS instead of an experience... what are the odds that the software works on Windows 11 perfectly anyway, my experience going from Windows 7 to Windows 10 was pretty miserable and that was 3 years after Windows 10 was standard.

Yes, the author's defence for Myth #1 does not strike me as a correct defence from the RISC-V perspective. Going to compressed instruction and compressed macro-op fusion is way overkill for the very basic indexed load/store problem.
