No, they don't bother because most people won't understand the script anyway, and just rely on the fact that many people have installed Rust this way and nothing bad happened to them.
This is.... oddly specific, but I verify it's true :-)
We have finish the development of chromium hevc hardware decoding support on macOS/Windows this month, not sure when will this feature be embedded into chrome, but you can atleast try this link to download the prebuilt version: https://github.com/StaZhu/enable-chromium-hevc-hardware-deco...
Yes, I guess the remarks on population density and on workers' wages make sense. Thanks for clarifying.

If I can’t rot away inside a photon torpedo drifting endlessly in space, the next best thing is burning in a blaze of glory as I re-enter the atmosphere.

The kids can keep my pinky bone if they insist on following silly ancient rituals.

Anyway, the point is that I have not and probably will never have the good fortune of traveling into into space in my lifetime. At least let me do so in death. I promise you you’ll still get your inheritance.
There are interesting distributed protocols out there, but they fundamentally have nothing to do with "blockchain". For example IPFS which you mention.

What so many people take exception with isn't distributed protocols, P2P, etc. — it's the corruption of these useful, existing technologies to intertwine them with an ecosystem of artificial scarcity metered in cryptocurrencies. This latter is what people call "web3" now.

If I make the world's greatest pure-P2P WebRTC application that stores permanent data on IPFS, no web3 proponent will get excited about that because it doesn't include magic beans that could make them rich.
If you have always wanted to start up or build your own product, consider the layoffs a blessing in disguise. That is, of course, assuming that you have the means to weather the financial challenges of not having a job. Make arragements for either savings that will last a year, or move back with parents depending on where you are in life at present.

I was single and unmarried in 2008. Was working in a startup that made an innovative new kind of ads (SMS ads!!). Was laid off and spent the next year building the next TechCrunch. It flopped, of course, and I moved back to a day job later. But I would have never made that move had I not been fired.

My personal circumstances are different today and would not make such a move now. But if you are young and financially-covered, you should see that as an opportunity.
The funnier part is, some turbodiesel and small displacement turbo gasoline engines already do in manifold burning to keep turbos spinning during gear changes, however they're tuned for city environments and it's neither noisy, nor popping.

As you've said, the thing in the article is done just for the "cool factor", which is doubly bad.

Also, motorcyclists' mental gymnastics about loud pipes are just unbelievable.

I've avoided Bluetooth for a long time, but recently been using them. I felt that perhaps newer versions of it had improved?

I think most of the times I've been flustered by it recently, my headphones had already connected to another device and then silently failed on the device I wanted to connect to. Possibly some geekier UI to expose that would help.

Though, I was slightly confused by your terminology. I thought 'pairing' was a one time thing, and I don't need to press any button to connect, except maybe turn them on for the ones that don't do that automatically when removed from their case.
I'd like more details on those "too short" cables, like did they try backing in (or pulling head in if they backed in the first time)?

I've run into a few stations with short cables, but none that couldn't reach the charge port if I parked in the other direction.
I mentioned in a top comment that is probably lost in the comments that I vouch for "if you're the smartest person in the room, find another room".

If you've got an suitably anonymous email address I can contact you on, I might be able to offer that other room. (Or you might think it's shite, which is fair).

But yeah, my current employer was my other room. Got to experience imposter syndrome again for the first time in a long while.
Fortunately, loud vehicles are getting out of fashion (from what I've noticed at least). Especially when people realize that the noise is completely faked and there's nothing "natural mechanical sound" about it.
Yep you could do something in good faith and so long as the statute of limitations aren't up you could still end up getting prosecuted years later.

With a good quality physical fake it can be hard for even the artist themselves to know if they made it.

An NFT, they know for certain without question if they minted it or not. That’s the whole schtick. You have a jpeg or whatever provable signed by the artist. Sure you can make copies, but those copies are provably not signed by the artist.
I guess it really is Joel’s world, we’re just living in it.
Satoshi proved that any blockchain that isn't currently the leader won't be mined and therefore will fall into disuse. Anyone who read the paper understands this, the principle of what's called Bitcoin maximalism.

So if you want your money/NFTs/whatever to continue to be secure in future, there is ultimately only going to be one global blockchain, singular, so it's very much correct to use the term "THE blockchain".
The list includes the MediaGX, so I thought it might be comparable in popularity/performance expectations.

To be honest, I remember the WinChip because I thought the printed Windows logo on the CPU was pretty cool. Texas and AMD also had the "designed for Windows 95" logo on some of their CPUs (some 486 and Overdrive designs, iirc)
They won't be, soon, as Tesla gets lapped by every other big car manuf ramping up production.

Tesla chargers also aren't (yet) compatible with non-Teslas. They've said they'll be adopting the standard charger in the coming years, but haven't started yet.
In general, I agree with stance that obesity issue is more complicated. But:

> People in the 1960s had plenty of food access, plenty of cars, etc. etc., and did not have obesity rates in the 40%+ range.

I don't think they had comparable level of physical movement. They had more of it just by existing. Take office worker - today I come to work and sit on chair until I go to toilet or home. Communication is done via keyboard, documents are in computer. Compared to my parents in 80-90ties - when they wanted to talk to people, they would stand up and go physically to another office. If they wanted documents, they would stand up and search for it. People did used walking to stores and public transport more too. In 1960, 1980 kids walked to school and that includes 6 years old. They played unsupervised outside for hours. Again, expectation today is that they are driven. The 6 years old playing outside is outrage, so they dont do it (plus indoor tablet is more fun to them subjectively).

None of that is huge amount of movement. But I think these frequent low effort movements counts and adds up. And, just turning wheel on 1960 car requires more strength then on current one. A lot of housework (both the one done by women and men) requires less effort then people in 1960 needed - cleaning cooking too. Everything is physically easier.

I have car, but used public transport to get to work. I made around 8000 steps every day just by existing. When covid hit and I was at home, the amount of steps went down drastically - could be just few hundred.
If everyone is so united in opposition why are they still buying the oil and gas (paying in Rubles)?

Because we are dependent on it and despite opposition to Russia's war, our solidarity has limits. Limits which are a subject to internal debate and strive. Obviously you know this, which explains the other posters incredulity at the question, which is bound to be in bad faith.

If they're so together why did Turkey block Sweden and Finland joining Nato.

Probably because they see a way to get something they want. Probably not as a gesture towards Russia, since their own contribution to the war -- e.g. closing off the Black sea has been pretty effective.

I hope they don't have catastrophic data loss. I quite enjoy reading the SCP Foundation stories, and I suspect that they're probably one of the biggest sites on Wikidot.

Now that I think about it, I recall there being conflict between between the SCP Foundation's community and a Russian businessman who tried to copyright SCP in Russia.
Good. I live in a (relatively speaking) smaller City in the UK and general city noise is what you expect. But unneccessary ICE noise makes me so angry. Find other way to show people how manly you are.
I mean I worked in fast food when I was younger and knowing myself and my coworkers at the time surely it is subject to at least some of those things.
Ask HN: Where do you find stock elements?
So I tend to be a cheapskate and I hate to buy stock content because I think I will just find it on my own or make it. But I recently came across Envato Elements (when I was looking for good font combinations for an ebook) and thought it would help me get some things I have to do at times done quickly, especially when I don't care 'creatively' about the output but just need a reasonable output.

Probably other people here don't have my problems using stock content, and know good alternatives.

I want stuff where I can quickly find tweakable print templates, video / audio, fonts etc. in one place so I can make a potential project presentation quickly.

What tools do you use to get the boring parts of 'creative' work done quickly?
the main use case is not an oil or acrylic painting but digital art and digital media. look at highest sales on any platform its memes, gifs, JPGs, digital photographs, 3D renderings, videos, generative art. there was no easy way to distribute signed editions of digital media in limited capacity and have it certified by the artist themself, the only option was to make it a signed physical print which is not a digital substrate.

the only middleman you requires is blockchain indexer like etherscan or TheGraph or an alternative , and if you do not trust those platforms you can run your own local node as the data is not owned by any single entity.
Coinbase is reeling in its big spending
2 years warranty, no AMD alternative, Windows preinstalled, sadly I'm not sold yet. Maybe I'll go with System76 this time.
I would say it's not as clear cut at that. I started out at one of the big old dinosaurs and found myself with a good amount of free time (even being on site). This meant I had a stable income and lots of time to really learn new technologies from various courses / YT content and hacking away on personal projects (while being payed on the job). I was still performing well for my main role in comparison to others at the company who you had to wonder 'what does this person even do'.
> Who was giving public health advice to wash your hands that much if you are barely leaving the house? Sounds more like user error (i.e. washing their hands at home despite there not being a reason to because health authorities assumed people would not do that at home)

Consideration of manner of an advice and how it is interpreted by different people is a common component of public health and medical advice or even drug prescription.

A multibillion dollar/pound advertising designed to terrify people in to obedience is obviously going to have some people adopt advice more enthusiastically than others. Perhaps exercise more caution when applying psycological manipulation in the future
That’s how I interpreted the exchange:

mdp2021: “The poster probably meant: Reinforcement Learning is not restricted to Neural Networks.”

feral: “Hmm, I don't see that.” [that RLinrtNN is probably what redytedy meant]

“In the spirit of the cutting edge, any chance you could give me a chain-of-reasoning on that inference?” [the inference that redytedy probably meant RLinrtNN]

I could be wrong.
>If the manufacturer or the customer applies a thick heavy undercoating I think it can make a big difference.

IIRC most manufacturers, at least in Europe, at some point started zinc galvanization, this prevents most rust from forming:

He does have a bit of a toxic masculinity thing going on there.

Personally - I enjoy some loud cars and motorcycles but not the typical Harley types that roll by at 20mph wide open or the clapped out Chevy Tahoe with a rusted out muffler going from stop sign to traffic light. I’m more of a Ferrari 458, Fireblade, LFA, R8 V10, etc. type. High revving exotics and motorcycles - and tend to prefer their sounds as they are going somewhere not revving. I can appreciate some others - even my own non-exotic but special car sounds great to me. It’s one of the reasons I bought it - it sounded amazing from the factory.

But people who modify the cars to seem more macho? Yikes. I listen to the sound for my own pleasure - no one else. Literally could not give a shit how it sounds to others. I know when I go for drives with others that sometimes they enjoy the sound too. It’s thrilling and definitely adds to the experience. Top down - engine screaming like a banshee - especially in a tunnel. It gives a real “race car” type of sensation hearing it come alive like that.

It’s definitely something I’ve never experienced driving EVs and I’ve driven them faster than 99% of people ever will. Just tire squeal is all you get. Maybe a slight hum or what not. (Brake squeal I guess but again not my favorite sound…) Definitely not an auditory experience for an enthusiast.
It’s no more ‘non-standard’ than jQuery’s `$`.

Most IDEs will allow you to see what dqsA aliases by mousing over. I don’t really see a problem with it.

It also looks like the kind of thing a pre-commit hook could trivially expand if you’re working with other people who might find it in some way unacceptable.
Energy is the key behind inflation. The West moved towards no more oil and gas and it's coming back to haunt it. That's an inflation component the Fed can't control.

It will take years to get some new nuclear plants and oil/gas rigs. And between the ESG nonsense and $0 prices in a lockdown, those are risky enterprises. Also there are price controls (in UK several energy companies collapsed last year [1]). Would you risk your money making a nuclear plant, an oil rig, a gas pipeline, that might get shut down or could become worthless? [2]

I had the same feeling, but I'm curious which parts you found good and which painfully boring.

Personally I enjoyed the politics and the society building and didn't care much for endless descriptions of rocky landscape.
My excitement level for seeing a justine.lol link is on the same level as a bellard.org link.
To add to this, yes, distributed computing is full of really cool stuff. It's been pumping out tons of solutions to real-world scalability problems for decades.

I get the feeling that a bunch of people are just now coming into the conversation with no knowledge of this, and thinking that Blockchain == distributed computing, like it's the first and only kind of distributed algorithm ever to exist or something.
That’s the best English translation, too

>Filing such a lawsuit would be easy enough, but proving that the bot issue justifies ending the deal would be much harder. Under the merger agreement, Musk would have to show that any misrepresentation had a “material adverse effect,” an onerous standard that courts have rarely found to be met.

I think I saw a recent post here that bots made up +19% - interesting timing - but anyway I would think the difference between a platform where the value is the userbase a difference of + 14% in bots would have "material adverse effect".
A far better analogy would be airbags, which were both expensive and deadly in their earliest (mandated) forms.
Then why do we currently have many blockchains? Plenty of people preferred making their own new blockchain where they were in control instead of just working on the bitcoin blockchain.

Sarcasm? Or do you believe that there's currently only one Bitcoin blockchain, and that all of the NFT's are on it?
Sure, but run the inverse-square law on the difference between a ~100 micron paint layer and a source that's ~1 meter away.

Ask HN: Getting out of a managed stock portfolio
Around 5 years ago I decided I would put some money in my bank / brokerages managed fund program where your money is actively traded on your behalf for a small monthly fee (this fee ends up being about $150 - $200 a month)

The performance of this managed account over the past 5 years while doing well has never beat the returns of index funds that do not cost a monthly fee to invest in, so would now be a good time to sell in order to reinvest the funds outside of the managed fund?

Does anyone have opinions on what the best course of action would be here? I don’t really see a great way of getting out of this fund, either I sell when the market is doing well only to pay capital gains taxes and put the money right back into the market, or I sell now at a reduced gain, pay less tax to put it right back into the market, but get rid of the monthly fee.

The fee itself is not a major concern to me, but it just seems stupid to continue paying it when I’m not getting any large benefit even when the market is doing well and I’ve given it plenty of time to see if paying the fee somehow gets you better returns which is not the case
Get a job in a startup or in a big tech in a team where ppl care about the things they do.
nope. if a game publisher uses a CEX to exchange the crypto they receive from users into fiat and direct bank account deposit the fees can range from 0% to 0.6% compared to 2-5% for stripe and PayPal or up to 30% for steam and apple. this also does not consider per-transaction fees which in L2 will be very minimal and allow users to engage with micro payments like $0.25 USD asset purchases, which are not realistic with stripe APIs.

https://help.coinbase.com/en/exchange/trading-and-funding/ex...

edit: these fees apply both ways, selling and buying crypto, so the user also pays less. and if the user buys $100 USD of tokens like they would at an arcade, all of those tokens can be spent on the game without exchange to fiat needed. this is different than every interaction with processor taking a cut which happens now if you want to buy 5 assets from a game that uses stripe or an app store or whatever.
This isn’t about profit. Google doesn’t want to pay for security audits. You pay the auditor directly.

I suppose Google could charge for future access. Any platform could. But not retroactively. That would need to be in a contract and it’s not.
I think this might work, but YMMV:

Neurorights: The Chilean Constitutional Change
If you need a graph, the main approaches I see in Rust code are:

a) Good ol' `Arc<Mutex>`, messy and has overhead, but easy to slap in and recreate the Java sea of objects.

b) Arena allocators -- often if the graph is used for an uppercase Algorithm like spring layout or something, the graph has a singular lifetime, so not being able to individually free the nodes is fine. Then you just have `struct Node<'a> { others: Vec<&'a Node<'a>> }` and all is good, the nodes all have the same lifetime and the borrow checker doesn't care about the mutual reference recursion.

c) Generational indices into a `Vec`. This gets used a lot for ECS systems like in Bevy, but they're very neat -- you can reassign a spot by just bumping the generation, so you don't need to worry about leaving holes or use-after-free. If you squint at it, a generational index is basically a pointer with provenance.
lol have you heard of ... Windows 10? No OS collects more usage data. And no you can't disable it. And if you try, it will re-enable tracking after some updates.

Along these lines, I find a "nocommit" git hook [1] to be an absolute life saver. If for whatever reason I need to temporarily break a piece of code, I just add a `// NOCOMMIT` comment above it, and git won't let me commit if I forget to change it back.

You'd need to narrow down your definition of stock content because there's obv. a gazillion sites for each and every category out there. Also, depending on your situation I would never skimp on the boring parts because most of the time they make /everything/.
Read the act[1]. It's targeting modifications like ripping the baffles out of motorcycle exhaust or having open headers. I had a friend back in college that did this to a street motorcycle and it was audible for over 3 miles at night in the suburbs, absolutely absurdly loud.

Rusted out exhaust pipes from road salt in NYC on cars will make them louder but nothing like what I'm describing. Basically makes them have an annoying low pitched rumble similar to what those stupid $40 ricer 'fart can' modifications would. Few orders of magnitude of a difference between loudness.

I hear ya, and I agree.

But it does have potential for better use cases with research and investment.

I wouldn't expect anything like this to power a high end laptop anytime soon (at least not at the rate Intel is becoming power efficient).

Still, will review in more detail this weekend
It has to do more with being over 40. People respect age when there is a solid track record. I don't understand the anxiety about becoming complacent. Your age is the most frequent age at which people spin out their own startups
This is not correct.

No amount of “traffic” control is going to prevent assholes from revving it in neutral.

These people are just bad actors that need to be cited.
I can kind of understand what you are saying. However some points I guess cant be true (at least I hope). In a company with around 350 devs I would say there should be at least one other dev who is "really good". In my experience there are devs like you, who just get a lot of work done in a good quality and there are other devs who enable others. They themselves dont commit that often or get a lot of stories done because they are a lot in pair programming sessions or otherwise connected with others. Maybe you can try and look if you find someone like this in your company.
The value of collateral that you’d need to put up would presumably be greater than the borrowed amount, just denominated in a different token. What would be the use case for a regular person?

Basically, “you can borrow” if you already have a few hundred million already, and want to gamble with it.
For me the main issue is do I care? Leaving aside the: "which Blockchain/NTF represents the real image" issue, you actually have to give a crap about that stuff. That's where the value lies. I'm not sure most people do.
>And, in trials comparing Mounjaro to other diabetes medications, individuals who received 15mg of Mounjaro had lowering of their HbA1c by 0.5% more than semaglutide, 0.9% more than insulin degludec and 1.0% more than insulin glargine.

I hope this is just a science-impaired idiot writing this, otherwise these numbers are insignificant. If they mean .5/.9/1 percentage POINTS of A1C rather than percent, it's more significant.
