It reminds me of the class a family member took recently where they were learning basic shell scripting using c-shell on a bunch of 15 year old Solaris machines. Interesting, but also somewhat harmful because they now have to translate what they have learned to linux/macos/etc should they actually get a job/etc that involves any shell scripting because bash tends to be the default.

Similarly with the RPi, the install process needs custom tools, instructions, and images because the normal distro install process (which are overwhelmingly UEFI based) simply don't work. So they are basically teaching everyone how to perform actions that any students that go into IT related fields will need to relearn.

https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubuntu-desktop#1-overvi...

And there isn't an argument that they are making it simpler either, since its entirely possible to create ubuntu/etc disk images as well while still burying a proper boot/etc interface in the firmware.

So, as I said earlier what they are doing made sense 10 years ago but today looks out of place vs what everyone else is doing.

PS: And as far as the hardware, normal distro's don't seem to have problems with missing RTCs (they all enable NTP AFAIK), and none of the interfaces on the board are that weird. Mainline Linux supports GPIO, and MIPI/CSI, etc.

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.10/media/kapi/csi2.html

If those don't work on the RPi in mainline, that is where the foundation should be focusing, in order to land their drivers upstream, or provide binary packages for the main distos (or both as some vendors do). They aren't special in this regard, they are only special because instead of doing what everyone else does, they created a custom linux distro.
They publish a number of papers in peer-reviewed journals. It seems like this is more about how you raise money for theoretical work and less about peer-review.

Unfortunately you are not correct. Pointer arithmetic is only valid if the resulting calculated address is within the bounds of the same array as the original pointer, or calculates an address that is just past the end of the array. Otherwise it is our old friend undefined behavior. See section 6.5.6 of the C11 spec.

Why should Apple be obligated to make their hardware open? You have the option of not buying Apple products. Apple is not forcing anyone to buy their products. Apple is a private company. The vast majority of their customers don’t need to worry about compiling their own software. Apple is selling a product for the average consumer. Arguably, Apple doesn’t want hardcore users like yourself as a user. Hardcore users are nit picky and complain a lot. They are not selling raw hackable hardware. If that was a sufficiently compelling market , another player would have provided comparable hardware/software/platform already. What we have is a few niche Linux hardware makers, but they aren’t reaching the scale of Apple because I guess the business is not a Scalable.
I take it this writer would agree with that. It sounds to me like he can’t figure out why he can’t just do that in his own life.

I also cannot relate. My parents drilled into us the ideas of discipline, hard work and an absolute refusal to quit. I’m not super successful. I’m not a CEO. But I’ve accomplished more in my life so far than I thought I would.

Or perhaps my expectations are too low…
As I understand it, the mean of those values is seven standard deviations away from the theoretical value, and you should only expect a result that extreme to occur by chance roughly once per 3.9e11 reruns of the entire experiment.

But I would caution that precision is so important to both physics and statistics that what I think I understand may be quite different from what’s actually going on.
Some companies are not product driven.

I worked at a marketing driven company, where marketing would work with sales and customers to figure out what was needed. Marketing would then pass that down to project managers who managed UX and engineering projects.

The work that product managers do is usually present in a company, but it's not always consolidated in a single person. In this example, it was spread out among marketing, project management, and UX.
Ok then why is “teff” not an allowed word in the NYT spelling bee?
I think some people in the comments didn't read the article.

The article concludes that solving supply shortage issues would be faster and more efficient by re-opening currently offline oil wells domestically and finishing existing projects (that aren't XL).

Nevermind, what the article doesn't mention, that a lot of the shortage is due to the OPEC+ deal that happened to stop the prices from plummeting and is already in the process of being unwound (on schedule... despite some wanting to unwind it quicker).
I don't understand. Are you suggesting that the EU should mandate telcos to provide users with ipv6? Why? And who is going to pay for that? Telcos will just push the price to the end users. I don't need ipv6.

There has not been a single heavy handed lockdown in the US. Ordering takeout from DoorDash with a frozen margarita is not a lockdown.

Uh, there is a private fork in this scenario. The whole point of AGPL is that you cannot legally modify the software and host it over a network to avoid having to publish your fork and comply with the GPL copyleft clause. Mere use does not trip the AGPL copyleft, because Freedom Zero is considered sacrosanct.

Furthermore, there are plenty of situations involving a network, other than SaaS, in which both the client and server could be considered end-users. For example, a WordPress site. The people who own the site and the people viewing it are two separate sets of end-users with their own freedoms to protect.

> Interesting that you trust Google more in this regard. Given Google's terrible history of deprecating products, I would not trust any "real world" business to any of their services.

That doesn't apply to me, because I have never used any of Google's deprecated products. I assume that's because they haven't (or have they?) deprecated any of their cloud services.

> Also, at some point I was playing with Serverless in both Google and AWS. Google's Serverless examples were broken (Google cloud was returning 500 errors) while the same stuff in AWS worked smoothly. That left me with a bad taste.

Good for you!

I have used Google Cloud Run for more than a year now, and can't be more happy. Never had problems with AWS either, which means that there are at least two cloud providers providing the same-ish service that lots of people can enjoy.
Yes but it was 18% of a much a smaller amount. In terms of potatoes or shoes the amount of interest they were paying back then was probably the same.

I had DTS and Dolby receievers for about 15 years and no longer do, so I guess for me some of it just doesn't matter. We did surround with DVD + Blu-Ray for a while and then kind of stopped caring about it.

The thing I miss the most was I had a few DTS CDs that were amazing for surround sound music experience. I have yet to hear anything out of Apple's Spatial Audio that comes anywhere close to what those DTS CDs sounded like.

But DTS CDs were so ridiculously rare it was pointless.. I only had 2. I have a DTS surround copy of "What's New" by Dave Brubeck and I had a DTS surround recording of Holst's "The Planets". And I only ever had one CD player that could decode them. The DTS receivers required a DTS aware CD player to decode it and send a DTS stream. They couldn't take a raw bitstream and figure out it was DTS.
Oooh, I have one. It is really amazing, in that there's really a usable display in a package the size of one's finger.

I've struggled to use it for anything practical, though, because of small issues with the mounting. It isn't quite adjustable enough so it's slightly out of focus. It's a too heavy so it's tilting the glasses and making them fall off if I tilt my head forward. The micro-HDMI cable interferes if I rest my head on anything. So I pretty much have to use it sitting or standing in free space, in which case, why not use a regular monitor?

I wonder if Thunderbolt makes it possible to take another crack at this design without the battery, hugely reducing the weight.
In that case, you can just disable it the normal way on your devices in their end-user settings. That's still not a reason to try to block it at the network level.
Yeah! It's not exactly "algorithms based on biological ideas", more like formal systems that mimic certain morphological aspects of plant life, but well worth a look: "The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants" http://algorithmicbotany.org/papers/#abop (It's mentioned in the Wikipedia article, but I feel it's worth "surfacing" here on it's own.)
It's been one of the dominant news items in Flanders for the past year, to the extent that I'm surprised I haven't seen it mentioned in the English-speaking media until now. Entire towns have been placed under emergency health orders: don't eat the garden vegetables or chicken eggs, don't even drink the well water. For a long time after the contamination was discovered, 3M was denying responsibility, saying it wasn't coming from their factory, and thus they wouldn't pay for remediation, even when it was totally obvious.

There is a whole world out there. I use fvwm as a "desktop environment"

I also find the idea of "desktop environment" a bit old. Even on windows 10 every programm behaves differently. Even MS is not able to have a unique look and feel in its own programms.
Sony has ear-specific IR/TF tech on android. You can get their app to take a photo of your ears, get the blob back. Tidal and Deezer in turn can use some 360 sound API to play their surround music through this.

There are so many optimization algorithms based on nature:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.04775
>>I fully anticipate they will come back in fashion.

It's not possible to predict fashions, but I seriously doubt that the whole evolutionary algorithms field will see a resurgence based on anything other than buzzword-driven fads.

In general evolutionary algorithms perform terribly poorly in any optimization problem, and at best are effective (but not efficient) in exploring problems involving the arbitrary addition/removal of dimensions/parameters, including high-dimensional discrete optimization problems.

Given there are already techniques to convert discrete optimization problems to non-discrete ones and to add/remove arbitrary parameters, and there are already global optimization techniques which are far more efficient and, more importantly, deterministic, genetic algorithms don't really offer any relevant advantage over even brute-force techniques.

Close, but not correct.

When I was a kid, I loved a game called [James Bond Jr.](https://www.mobygames.com/game/nes/james-bond-jr/screenshots...) that had these little puzzles that were super fun to do. Some of them were hair-pulling difficult, too. I never saw a modern rendition of those puzzles, so I thought to create one.

Eight Colors is the result. The rules are simply, but puzzles do get challenging after few levels.

Hope HN likes it! Happy to hear any feedback!
> One of my favorite things to highlight was that following the Fed receiving taxpayer funds to prop up the stock market Disney had their greatest single day stock gains in history all while every single theme park, hotel and cruise ship were indefinitely shutdown and every single movie production was indefinitely suspended.

Probably because of their massively successful streaming service that was perfectly placed to pick up the slack. They also have one of the deepest content libraries around so production stoppage hurts them less than competitors like Amazon, Netflix, AppleTV.

To drive it home, Disney had record revenue in 4Q2021, driven by streaming and parks revenue [1]. Maybe it’s you who had it wrong?

Bluray was generally superior yes. It wasn't flat out better in all ways, but it was at least on parity if not better to HD-DVD. Cost wise, it depends on what exactly we're talking about (Cost of disc, cost of licensing, etc), but blu ray succeeded largely due to Sony willing to take an estimated ~$3B loss on the hardware sales of the PS3 and leverage it's media partnerships to see the format succeed in the long term. Selling the PS3 at a deficit was instrumental in getting BluRay players into peoples homes en-masse, which then in turn allowed Sony to better negotiate media partners to use their format.

So was it cheaper? No, I don't think so, but Sony was willing to eat a loss to make it "cheaper" for the end consumer. Technically, people paid more for a bluray than for an HD-DVD player, as a PS3 was definitely more expensive than a standalone player/drive for either, but the value proposition was definitely there, as many people wanted a PS3 regardless.

In short, the value was there, both for the media companies and end consumers, for bluray as opposed to HD-DVD, but I'm not sure it was explicitly "cheaper".
Why not? OP asked for algorithms and explicitly said they didn't have to be state of the art. Then saying them not being state of the art is hardly relevant?

And an algorithm can be based on a metaphor and still be useful, one should just take care to judge it own its own merits and not give it some greater value for being "natural".

>those in charge of the cookie banners really believe that they protect the interests of the user

No, they're asking for consent to track because the EU demanded it. The easiest way to avoid having a banner on your site is to... just not have an analytics package on your site. They're aggressive because they don't want their data spigot turned off - hence the work-to-rule nonsense. You should not infer any benevolence on the part of the people implementing these banners.

My personal habit is to always click whatever option denies the most amount of tracking, mostly because I can.

It was a pretty significant part of the plot that it's nontrivial to distinguish replicants from humans, and every replicant Deckard kills is trying to escape confinement. There's also a replicant that is indistinguishable from a human. A chess playing neural network isn't anywhere close to being comparable to a slave.

And IMO, merely creating such an AI isn't even immoral, as long as we don't force it into labor it wants to escape from.

I don't know, I seem to be in the minority according to the comments here, but I like my default credentials, thank you very much. I have tons of gear laying around, some of which is collecting dust in a drawer, and if the default creds don't work I might be in a bind because I'm not organized enough to "do it right". These devices are not open on the internet, obviously, and per my threat model, anything on my local lan is deemed safe.

More importantly perhaps, I am willing (and actually want) to have the freedom to do this, and to take responsibility for any problems I might cause for myself.

This issue is part of a more general ethical conundrum spanning many areas of life: How much should people be protected from themselves? I guess my personal answer is, not a lot.
> There is no doubt that the entire housing market was exploited to float the US economy and covered up a recession dating from 2000-2001

This is false. There is no doubt that, while there was a short recession in early-mid 2001, there was a general economic expansion, not a recession, after that; to the extent that housing market was exploited to paper over something, it was the unusually top-loaded distribution of the benefits of that expansion, where the bottom 3 income quintiles and the fourth quintile was basically flat, with the gains concentrated in a fair small segment at the top, which it covered by (non-sustainably) paying for continued debt-fueled lifestyle improvements for groups that weren't seeing real income gains.

For the stuff that matters, I had to connect to my receiver then to the TV. It doesn’t help that DTS isn’t supported by my TV (LG-CX). I have a Denon AVR as well.

So basically, almost everything goes through the receiver: nvidia shield, Blu-ray player. But then again, I paid through the nose for it.

It makes more sense to me that the sound capable device is better at figuring out the audio stuff. Which means the ports to a sound bar/receiver is a real consideration.

Haven’t figured out PC audio to my receiver though. I’ve basically given up.

Your example is a good example of the Motte and Bailey fallacy. Yes, if he uses that $100 to create something worth more than $5, he wins, you wins, the community wins. That's the motte. But the vast majority of loans are not that type. The vast majority of loans are fighting over zero-sum resources. Think buying land. That's the bailey.

When the money supply increases in that way, while it does not immediately create inflation, as the new money will be stored in investments and those investments rising in value are not considered inflation, as soon as the down-turn occurs, that money, being liquid, becomes inflation.

So when you create money through artificially low interest rates that goes to rent-seeking, you are creating inevitable inflation in the future.
Okay so there still are nonsensical per-app limits, and they still act as if building a third-party client is not a use case that exists. Yeah, right, because of course people primarily use APIs of social media services for research and business.

How hard would it be to simply comment out all the checks in the code to give everyone the same access official apps have? Why is it taking them months? It's as if they don't actually want to open up their API.
