> The libraries we are releasing come with a pedigree: many years of experience using these APIs in Google’s production environments. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t, what designs lead to bugs, performance problems, and misuse. What you see here is what we found to be a good balance between simplicity and meeting the needs of production use and an ever-evolving codebase.

From Google's C++ open source framework, https://abseil.io, mostly accessed via gRPC, the new fashion for Sun RPC, CORBA, DCOM.
I had this same thought at one point and eventually learned of heat pumps. Heat pumps move heat from one spot to another, ie from outside your house to inside your house, or the other way. The point is, they move more energy than they consume. So that 1kwh of energy turned into heat by an inefficient electrical appliance could have instead been used to move 5kwh worth of heat into your home by a heat pump.

Heat pumps are more efficient than they used to be (at some point the outside air is too cold for them to work efficiently), so the cold climate where I'm from is just now starting to see them included in new homes.
Google is not a search engine. Google is an advertising platform. It's 2022 and people do not know this yet?
Poorer countries have every motivation to move away from colonial currencies that are inherently inflationary and out of their control, into a deflationary currency like bitcoin that has a well-known limited supply and is controlled by no one.

They have everything to gain and nothing to lose from such an asymmetric bet.
Just FYI, most of this definitely won't be GDPR compliant without granular opt-ins which I'm not sure your product supports. Users should be able to prevent the SDK from calling home entirely as it's not an essential part of the app.

That's sleazy as hell, but I'd be lying if I said I'm surprised.

If the dead internet theory [1] is true a new search engine may eventually emerge which focuses on indexing verifiably human-generated content with high information value. I have no idea what is going on with Google search results.

“[current curriculum] creates students who see mathematics as an exercise in memorized procedures that match different problem types. Yet, university professors and employers want graduates with critical thinking and reasoning skills.”

I agree with this problem statement.
I almost didn't read it because the top HN comment was negative (and upon reading the transcript, quite irrelevant).

The parent of this comment should probably be the top comment.
To clarify without requiring link chasing: the quote is not from the political scientist Frank Wilhoit (1920-2010) but the musician Frank Wilhoit (https://www.broadheath.com).
That would be accurate. Apple did more than just block that Honk Kong protest app:

But the company owes much of that success to CEO Tim Cook, who laid the foundation years ago by secretly signing an agreement, estimated to be worth more than $275 billion, with Chinese officials promising Apple would do its part to develop China’s economy and technological prowess through investments, business deals and worker training. - https://www.theinformation.com/articles/facing-hostile-chine...

A US firm signs a secret deal to export even more technology and know-how.. which I'm sure will be followed by "But we have to build in China - the US just doesn't have the manufacturing ecosystem we require!" - I wonder why.
I'd love it even at home but there seem to be no good FOSS IDP systems. I wish....

At work we use PingID which is not very expensive compared to industry standard ones like Okta. But it's very poor in my opinion. It seems they're always lagging years behind competitors in terms of features.
If Apple sells any parts for any phone for any reason without unjustifiable markups to anyone without requiring registration of phone serial number (mentioned here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31180032 ) or any other random unnecessary requirements whose only purpose is to get in the way of there being a market for parts, well then and only then will I believe that Apple actually is trying to support right to repair. If they're not doing that, then I'm only lead to believe that they are putting this up to deflect criticism and continue their hold on the parts market.
>inflation for the year is 5%

RANT: No, that's a Scalar. Inflation is a vector. To accurately state inflation, you have to sample the prices of everything in a basket of goods, define the items in the basket, and never allow arbitrary substitution. I know of no such extant measure. Even then, the scalar produced is only accurate for that particular set of goods, and nothing else.

Thus actual inflation is unknowable, and all statements with a single number are propaganda. /RANT
The gatekeeping these incompetent doctors do is infuriating. If I want a random blood test, why do I need to pay a doctor for to order the test from the third party lab. They add nothing to the process except frustration and expense.
Perl does have lambdas...

For reference, this is what Apple said they would do last November:

> Available first for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 lineups, and soon to be followed by Mac computers featuring M1 chips, Self Service Repair will be available early next year in the US and expand to additional countries throughout 2022.

> The initial phase of the program will focus on the most commonly serviced modules, such as the iPhone display, battery, and camera. The ability for additional repairs will be available later next year.

The bigger effect is that kids getting sent home due to the pandemic weren't being enrolled in online learning. They went on vacation with occasional check-ins online. That's about how I would describe my kids' experience and they were solidly grounded, with supervision at home at a school well prepared technologically.

Most kids had no interest in working without supervision forcing them to work. Now that they're back in school, they are continuing to not work and it's a disaster, with teachers and staff quitting or retiring en masse. Again, this is in a school district that people had been trying to get into for years.

It's really not the coursework delivery style, it's about forcing kids to do what they don't want to do. This force just isn't a component of online learning -- it has little to do with content delivery, imo.

The upside is that those kids that actually want to learn are freed up more than ever before and can actually thrive.
It's interesting - someone looked at their smart plug and it was pulling 1.2W, the cost of which comes to more than some of the devices they might be attached to - assumes saving electricity is your only goal - in that case not necessarily the best bet.
It's a nice story about the motivation behind GlacierMD. Which seems like something that should be marketed to health insurance companies, assuming it targets a US audience. That's who stands to benefit enough from people making better decisions about discretionary health spending to actually pay for it... marketing it here seems like spending effort on an incompletely learned lesson from v1.
Previous was GPT-K 6B. GPT-NeoX 20B did a bit better IMO:

The reason Susan always left her keys in the refrigerator on Wednesdays was simple - she'd forgotten to take them out. The other six days of the week, she never did it.

"And so, it was a Wednesday morning and we were sitting at the kitchen table and I was telling her that the doctor had decided that she couldn't live on her own anymore."

Susan was a strong, healthy and pretty woman in her 40's. She had a job and was able to take care of herself, although she didn't really work. It was a bit of a shock that something that seemed so obvious that day was going to result in her death a month later. She was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent chemotherapy. She did well for a while, but her doctors eventually said that she couldn't live on her own anymore. Her parents were both dead and she was living with her sister. They agreed to move her to a nursing home. She would be much safer there and she was getting on in years anyway.

As Susan got weaker,
In particular mpv can now open jxl images, there is also a recent commit that adds support to make jxl screenshots.

As I use mpv both as a video player and as an image viewer, this is great news for me.
I have also seen Universities in the US to charge higher tuition for foreign students. Not entirely sure why. Mostly seems like it is because they know they can, and those students will pay in full. With no tuition assistance or anything like that.

In this case I am wondering if it could be related to needing additional staff to cover other time zones? Or maybe there are additional administrative paperwork needs for those students?
Musk and Moderation
No one needs to learn anything.
This doesn't justify musk's behavior, throwing his massive financial klout around to silence skeptics (even a crack pots). It's not being "kind of an asshole", the behavior reflects a magnitude more size of asshole. If someone is committing securities fraud, there are processes to resolve it. They don't involve throwing an immature, reactive tantrum.

Bottom line, musk has shown he is an impulsive, power tripping jerk. Not the sort of individual who deserves to be charge of any important "public good" projects.
You're still comparing apples to oranges, doesn't matter what Go's runtime goals were, when it is AOT compiled and the others aren't.
Absolutely. Same with the IRP program.

Part of the problem with Apple's repair programs is that Apple themselves doesn't want people dinking around with individual electronic components, so they don't let their branded repair centers[0] buy or touch them. This dramatically increases the cost of repair as you have to dispose of a lot of known-good chips purely so that Apple does not have to provide a supply of their proprietary components and does not have to hire skilled labor to solder them onto boards.

People who actually do bother with component level repair are able to frequently undercut Apple on repair cost[1], but have significantly harder time buying the components you need to do this because Apple won't sell chips. As for why, they won't really tell, or if pressed they'll waive their arms around and say "intellectual property" and "innovation". My guess is that they don't want other companies pulling a Strange Parts and building their own iPhones from replacement parts... to which I say, who cares? If you actually do it that way you aren't saving a whole lot of money and all that money is going back to Apple anyway.

Oh, and you can sed s/Apple/any other tech company/g the above paragraphs and still be 100% correct. The whole "what about the innovashun" argument is a cultural toxin that has infected basically every other company that has anything to do with electronics. It's why I don't believe Elon's intentions around Twitter's algorithm for a second[2]. Everyone in tech has been very consistently opposed to anyone other than them touching their stuff, purely because it's "theirs" and not because it actually has a cognizable harm to them.

[0] AASP & IRP members inclusive

[1] Even if we exclude particularly embarrassing cases like when the Genius Bar forgot to check if a backlight cable was installed correctly and recommended a full logic board swap

[2] Tesla is the company that brought Apple-style repair hostility to cars. Elon does not care about "freedom" beyond hearing about it in a meme.
I live in a system where doctor's aren't questioned, everyone just assumes they get the best care. It's terrible because people get sub-optimal care.

Patients who are proactive in their own treatment are a positive, not a negative.
>But I definitely think there's room for more comprehensive and transparent documentation to bridge the gap between the source code and barebones docs.

This is usually provided by technical books, which are available for a much wider range of systems than you'd think.
Sidenote: Spotify seems to require browser-based DRM when playing free podcasts. We really don't need more closed plattforms on the web. So I'm happy that facebook is no longer trying to do podcasting.
Yeah was going to say, this reminded me of this[1] video (series of videos actually, but this is the first in the series). Interesting stuff.

Surely the display panel itself is switched off when on standby, though? Is this a case of not including a separate standby power supply circuit, so that it's the "main" one inside there running at a fraction of its capacity, where it is least efficient?
It's actually a bit more than that. The syscall docker allowed isn't really fixed. It is affected by what linux capabilities the container had granted. Like: if you whitelist the container about CAP_SYS_PTRACE, you probably also want ptrace(2) to be whitelisted. Instead of a all or nothing/your program will still break even cap added model.

> (but I don’t buy the argument that “real” macros are only able in s-exprs)

The Rhombus project in Racket^1 is an attempt to fix a lot of things about Racket and S-exprs but one of the goals is creating a syntax that is able to be manipulated as easily a s-exprs.

> By “macro-extensible,” we mean that Rhombus users should be able to extend the syntax of Rhombus in much the same way that Racket users can extend the syntax of Racket. Complex syntactic extensions such as object and class systems, static type checkers, and pattern matching should be implemented as libraries while still providing a surface syntax familiar to users of these features in other languages.

> and only 14% of the people have electricity

That number is probably for electricity at home, considering that 33% of the people have mobile phone subscriptions. Mobile payment solutions are very successful in Africa, in part because the infrastructure is lacking. One house/shop with electricity can easily power many phones.
Fighting Fake EDRs with ‘Credit Ratings’ for Police
If your electricity comes from natural gas, it would be more efficient to burn the gas on-site for heat than to burn it to generate electricity, distribute the electricity, and then turn it back to heat.
For the people with $$$$, it's tax evasion. For people with $ or $$, it's a scam.

I wonder if it blocks iCloud Relay as well,since those are Akamai / Cloudflare IPs :)
I always thought Basho was a great company with a great product. I felt like I learned a lot through Basho documentation. I never really understood what happened to the company though as it seemed highly regarded amongst the dev community as well and Riak was always mentioned in the same sentence as the other distributed data stores at that time.
Oh, I missed the context: https://stanfordreview.org/boaler-professor/. I didn’t realize Boaler had a history of doing that (though I guess I’m not surprised). Prof. Nelson sounds like a champion.
The others mentioned heat pumps but I'll mention that the person you replied to never said "electric" and is likely referring to gas heating.
This is still not evidence.
Ask HN: Can We Improve Video Conference Audio
Video conference audio is terrible when half the team is in the same room watching on their laptops. Can we improve this by getting all the devices working together on audio?

Proposal:
1. Discover other meeting participants in the room using audio signals: Every laptop pings for other laptops in the room using a brief audio signal or short musical charm. (I imagine this is similar to balancing a new surround sound system at home, but faster and less intrusive)

2. Determine potential audio interaction from each participant machine. Using these audio pings, each device is spatially located and the relative impact for feedback to other local devices is determined.

3. Automatically manage microphone and speaker volumes for individual participation and reduced feedback in the conference room. Individual laptop microphones activate when a room participant talks while nearby microphones and speakers automatically mute.

4. Use audio input local to the conference room participant for improved audio quality. The best microphone is the one closest to the participant and it should be used whenever possible.

What other specs and features are necessary?

How do we get Teams, Zoom, WebEx, etc… to invest and adopt this technology?
That's covered by rule #2 (systemd-timedated)

That’s pretty impressive. That said, I’d be very interested to know the frequency response range of this — I wonder how well it reproduces lower frequencies for example.
Sounds like you've got a handle on it!
The US military recently launched a Stinger replacement effort, has just solicited bids, expects production start in (fiscal year) 2027.

(OTOH, in addition to transfers to Ukraine, it's also ramped up its own Stinger deployment recently specifically in response to the crisis in Ukraine.)
> Housing prices are bonkers due to chickens coming home

I think low interest rates might be the largest factor here. Purchasing decisions are made based on the monthly payment.
It seems that almost every story about wanting to protect some natural, undeveloped area includes some line about maybe the next antibiotic will be discovered here.

However, I think we are beyond that now. I don't know if there really has been a clinically relevant antibiotic with actual use in the real world discovered in the last 20 years in such circumstances.

Now, most antibiotic development is based on knowledge of chemistry/biochemistry and understanding resistance mechanisms.

And looking at "natural" antibiotics, many of even the effective ones have very bad toxicity profiles (see streptomycin and kidney and ear toxicity) or have resistance quickly develop (see penicillin).

Although not an antibiotic, it is interesting that the most effective Covid treatments were not ones discovered in nature (for example Ivermectin and quinine), but rather the vaccine, engineered with mRNA precisely targeting the spike protein which was known through sequencing and protein folding analysis.

Although we should conserve the diversity of our natural world, I don't think that new antibiotics are one of the major reasons to do so.
I was misdiagnosed with Bipolar Disorder for 30 years. Turns out it was Neuropsychiatric Lupus. Despite all my pleading to them to look further they never did. I had to teach myself biology and genetics while I was on disability. They missed all the common signs of Lupus; my skin, bad kidneys, etc.

I am afraid all this technology is taking away all of our wisdom. Too easy to know things, very hard to understand them.
Yes, it essentially gives root privileges to it.

I suppose that's intended in this case.
Do you know what a RINO is? Read the polls again. It’s just the left.
I do not see why these are exclusive: When I read the code, I can't control feeling disgusted by what I see. Specially how every base starts with an opinionated and strong "this is how it's done" style, just to devolve into copypaste and hacks because someone didn't understand state, reductors, types, dispatchers, ... but I am open minded about acknowledging that the problem might be mine, be it because of stubborness on not getting it, or being extremely unlucky on what projects I stumble upon.

I guess you could make a case for this kind of thing in a breakroom or something where it's going to be in use all day, but then again, that's also the scenario where it would make the most sense to just be continuously brewing whole pots of coffee in a conventional drip machine.

Either way, a Keurig in a home, only brewing once or twice a day? The worst.
This is probably a good reminder to anyone reading: if you can, get yourself naloxone and keep it with your first-aid supplies. You can get it without a prescription in most places, and there are many programs that will give you a few doses for free. It is easy to administer[0], and it has no effect on people without opiates in their system[1]. You may never need it, but having it handy it can mean the difference between life and death.

Store of value depends on the time frame. Bitcoin has a four year halving cycle (the supply issuance halves every four years). If you look at the 200WMA (weekly moving average), which is roughly 4 years, it's a steady march upward. So as long as your time horizon is 4+ years, it's the best savings technology you could ask for.

In terms of the USD, the price of Bitcoin is volatile in the short term. But that volatility is due to its relatively small size compared to its total addressable market. The total addressable market of Bitcoin is all monetary value on earth, so in the hundreds of trillions, probably.

Bitcoin's network effects have already likely reached "runaway" status, so Bitcoin will continue to grow as the network effect speeds up exponentially. Its volatility will continue decreasing as it grows to address more of the T.A.M. of global monetary value.
