There aren't.

> If you're at a restaurant and you get the final bill and you notice an item wasn't paid for. Do you speak up, or do you leave knowing you ate food you didn't pay for?

If a server at a restaurant says "hey, we're out of the strip cut, would you like a filet mignon instead at the same price?" I have no reason to think it's a mistake to be charged the price of a strip steak. That restaurant doesn't get to put another charge on my credit card literally years later because a manager decided that in retrospect I should be charged the difference.
Google is constantly politically defeated by random old people in Mountain View with lots of free time. There is no amount of money you can spent to build an apartment building that might cast a shadow on their house one day a year.
Tell them about mastodon.jp or pawoo.net. Also, does this artist post lolicon or shotacon imagery at all? That shit tends to look like kiddie porn outside of Japan. Also, they need their own website. Being shadow banned is the price you pay for being a digital sharecropper and trying to build your audience on a platform you don't own or control.
I appreciate both of these points.

Maybe a more optimistic look is that if more people were that open publicly, then maybe we would judge less, recognize the uncertainty and ebb and flow of thoughts and feelings, and see ourselves and each other more humanely.
If Meta is anything like Google (and it is), we're not far off from getting locked out of Facebook bricking your VR gear.

HN is lousy with stories about people getting tagged by faulty "AI" in one Google program and getting blitzed out of all the others.

The risk is too high that Meta will follow suit one day soon.

Is that true? It doesn't seem like eight years since it went up last time.
This was apparently about American Democrats, but fits equally well to CCP. I'm guessing both came from the same kind of propaganda, but with a different logo, for a slightly different target group.

I'm experiencing this now and it's taking some energy to not become disillusioned with the industry.

Generalists, or people with a "wide T", are also a lot less valuable than specialists. For any given technology or stack right now, some company out there is doing something cool with it, and they only want to hire people who are already familiar with their particular configuration. The couple of tech interviews I've had so far have really obviously been looking for me to keyword or namedrop some experience with whatever it is that they're using already. There have even been positions where I had like 95% of the desired experience, but that missing 5% was enough to bin me, despite having a pile of unrelated experience.

To be clear, you can make a living as a dev in the guts of a BigCo or for a consultancy or web firm, and these days it's not even a bad living (for now). But if you want to work on something closer to the cutting edge, or more stimulating, you have to make big decisions early on about what you're most interested in and then pursue a deep specialization in it.

I don't think that that is uncommon. I recently experienced a bit of that while playing Mechwarrior 5 without VR and not being too mindful of torso / walk centering while in first person and it got to me after a few missions.

The combination of a first person view without having the corresponding actual motion is what got to me.

As long as we control each layer this sounds great. What are you thinking, some sort of physical switches on the computer that turns on and off access to the layers from software so you can control them individually? That's the tricky part, how to switch those layers on and off so you can work with them in a non-software controlled way.
That is what they call a "big if
I've never had a legacy car that could over-the-air disable things. Maybe OnStar or similar could do something, but not like the level that Tesla took things.

You're "remedies are always legal" is a bit flat. Tell to the parent that is in a rush to take their 2.34 kids to school before heading to work that they need to contact a lawyer before starting their day. And when is the last time a call to a lawyer fixed anything within any kind of quick turn time? So now you're without a car until lawyers "fix" things.
Interesting, but left wanting more.

I actually haven't played any of those games but I'm surprised the author(s?) didn't mention any of Daniel Mullins' games. Pony Island, The Hex, and Inscryption are all really interesting "meta" games in the same vain as The Stanley Parable. Inscryption being the one that I feel functions the best out of the three as both a commentary on games as well as actual gameplay.
Tesla is acting like Ferrari. They have not earned that right yet. They should aim to act like BMW: milk your wealthy customers, but never hand over a product that isn't your best work.
I don't like him and I don't think he is that important to Tesla and SpaceX nowadays. But he did contribute at least at the beginning.
Oh for sure.

They just recently were allowed to start driving.

They just recently were allowed to get a passport and travel freely without permission from male guardian.

Male guardian approval is required to seek an abortion.

Male guardian permission required to marry.

There is still much segregation and inequality.

Family laws skews towards males, as they become guardians.

Child custody also skews towards males.

It is quite distant from the freedoms women experience in the western world.

I won't even mention the treatment of migrant female workers.
What're you up to?
And there was an issue with massive recall of Quest 2 headsets last year, it surely did hit their bottom line.

There’s probably multiple reasons why DICOM does not support PNG. Most compression formats in DICOM are those published as official standards in the JPEG family from ISO.
The original JPEG from ‘92 already included a Lossless mode which supports 16/12/8 bit color and monochrome and is very fast to encode and decode. All of those were important features.
Adding PNG later would not benefit anyone: it can not handle all of these usecases, it is usually slower and it came later.

Upon closer analysis, all analogies will break down. I'd argue the car in the sumtotal of all the parts in it.

So rather your analogy about Alienware is: You own a dell gaming pc. Under warranty repair, Dell replaces some of the parts with parts from an Alienware build.

Are you allowed to put on Alienware decals on your Dell desktop and re-sell it as an Alienware?

I guess that's even more of a reason to stop using Amazon. A significant part of Europe lacks a use for Amazon anyway. There are better national online stores that are a lot more popular, from what I've seen personally.

There is a faq about ZeroMQ written in the Monty Pythonesque fashion of "other than that, what does ZeroMQ do for us?"

I can't quite find it in my bookmarks, but it went by the "so it gives you sockets", "but also message batching" ... "but other than batching, what does it give us?".

Also, the whole problem with using just TCP is that often it needs kernel level tuning - like you need to fix INET MSL on some BSD boxes to avoid port exhaustion or tweak DSACK when you have hanging connections in the network stack (like S3 connections hanging when SACK/DSACK is on).

A standard library is likely to have bugs too, but hopefully someone else has found it before you run into it.
It's because the increasing returns to experience cut both ways and cancel each other out. You're more valuable to your employer after you've been there a while, but the job is more valuable to you too, for the same reasons (assuming things are going well for both parties).

You'd be a lot more reluctant to risk switching to a higher paying job from a job you've only been at happily for a month than one you've been at happily for several years.

The batteries weigh different amounts so it isn’t just software locking at the factory. https://themotordigest.com/how-much-do-tesla-batteries-weigh...

It’s more likely they didn’t have a 60kWh battery at the time pack to do the replacement. Which brings up an interesting point, a 90kWh battery software locked to 60kWh is a defective part as the added weight takes more energy to move around, has worse acceleration, more tire and break ware etc.

It’s therefore likely Tesla failed to provide an equivalent replacement part and thus broke their warranty contract.
Paying for bandwidth used is exactly what I am talking about. In less developed places, 1Gbit/s is simply unavailable and usage is capped. There is no economic incentive to build better infrastructure for applications that do require a lot of bandwidth (e.g., Netflix).
Very cool. I've been working on CRDTs for SQLite to allow for conflict-free replication. Its still super early but I have a prototype that works and, if you're up to it, I would love to pick your brain on the details of sqlite WALs and journaling.

How would that work?

HTTP is just HTTP
I'm not entirely sold for a few reasons.

1. This would require that Intel and AMD find it less intrusive to build an entire additional SoC into their processors, on whatever node necessary, than to package their software for Windows Update. Also, it leaves out the question, why couldn't Microsoft have required that AMD and Intel just implement a TPM outside of the PSP/ME with similar hardware protections? Intel would have vastly preferred that, as then they could have just marketed it as part of their vPro solution.

2. For RIoT, it was reported by IEEE in their report that the Pluton does implement RIoT, and this report was endorsed by the Vice President of OS Security at Microsoft as the best write-up so far just yesterday (see https://twitter.com/dwizzzleMSFT/status/1551594590087438336). So there is more to the story than you believe on this subject. Unless the Vice President of OS Security at Microsoft who actually worked on Pluton is incorrect, Pluton does have RIoT.

I will dare quote a fair-use bit of the paywalled report:

"Pluton also implements the device identifier composition engine (DICE) specification, as defined by the TCG, along with the Robust Internet of Things (RIoT) specification, as defined by Microsoft, to achieve DICE+RIoT. Using this technology, a device cannot masquerade its boot path; more simply, it provides a strong method for attesting to a device’s current state and status (e.g., patch version, firmware version, etc.). It is important that this is implemented in hardware, rather than firmware, because the hardware which performs the initial measurements and checks on power-on cannot be modified by an attacker. Relying on device attestation rooted in firmware or software is dangerous because if the initial stages of the boot process are compromised then the entire boot process can be falsified and a bogus attestation can be produced.
While Microsoft intends for this technology to be compatible with their Azure Attestation service, since it is built using open standards it can be leveraged by any attestation service, which supports DICE+RIoT."

Edit: On that note, I have added an update to the blog post noting this conversation and that while I am not fully convinced of your points, it is also worth reading.

Edit 2: On a third note, I doubt that Microsoft intends "Secured Core" to be a thing that just sticks around forever. Even though this is just speculation, I find it hard to believe Microsoft would not one day make Secured Core or parts thereof (say, everything except the Thunderbolt protection) mandatory. That is yet another possibility, that "Secured Core" become more and more similar to mainline Windows over time. They may have already to OEMs, but I will admit there is no way to prove one way or the other.
"Now even AWS can decrypt your data."

Even if AWS is served a warrant? Excuse me if I choose to wait and see on this one, especially when there are better zero-knowledge solutions (like wire.com) out there.
I had no idea they could even do something like this remotely.

What else can they do? Shut the engine off? Lock the steering? What intelligence agencies have access? What if a side-channel can be created and (other) malicious actors obtain access?

This kind of remote access to a car is genuinely terrifying.

I have a Quest 2 and I've not noticed framerate hitches with Beat Saber.

But I do a fair bit of wireless streaming off of PC (but not Beat Saber), and one of the things that surprises me is that it seems like battery life is worse when streaming from PC than when the Quest 2 is doing its own rendering. In any case the battery life does leave a bit to be desired. I expect the Quest 3 to be not much faster, but to have a significantly more efficient processor so it lasts more than an hour or two.

My final note is that if you're going to stream wireless is the way to go. I was worried it would have noticeable latency or hitching but the experience has been basically perfect. You do need a fast modern 5Ghz WiFi router and the PC on Ethernet however. Dealing with cables that have fragile USB connectors on the end while you are blindly swinging your arms around is not worth it.
This is the problem with over the air updates. It gives car companies the ability to disable features at their own will. Another aspect is that software has bugs and an update can potentially also introduce problems in your car, especially when your 10yr model is receiving updates that the software engineer didn't care to test for such old model. I always liked software that runs stable software and keeps running that way forever.
> I'll point out that you're still doing the thing where you equate "software" with "apps".

Can you explain what you mean by this? As far as I am aware, an application (aka "app") is a piece of software.
Hi, author of the article here. Microtransactions are an active cancer on the gaming world and I abhor their prevalence in modern gaming. The _only_ time I find them okay is for when they are for _cosmetic purchases only_, and even then the games industry has done a terrible job of making sure that is the case. Sometimes I want to play a game to play a game and immerse myself into that game's world. I don't want to have people manipulate money out of my wallet and into their bank account.

Then again, I'm also someone who has been suckered into spending over USD$200 on Fortnite skins, so a lot of my rejection of microtransactions is rooted in the fact that I am vulnerable to their temptations and would rather they be anywhere but in the games that I play on a regular basis. Nintendo games are usually good about not trying to fleece you for cash in a game you paid full price for, so I play a lot of those.
What complexity and hardware costs are you referring to? You need to have a decent graphics card, which most PC gamers do, and connecting the headset is just plugging in the cables into the PC (HDMI and USB for ours)
"practically", then the title is misleading.

tl;dr: I don't like something, so no one should like that thing, and if they do they get a derogatory label as 'nerds'. You might want to read the room...

For some of us, computers are tools, not manifest expressions of our self-important concepts of 'good taste'. I could not possibly care less about rounded corners, transparent windows so I can see some pretentious background picture through my code, animated anything or whatever else the latest UX fad is. I want my window manager simple, consistent, functional, fast, familiar and out of the way of the actual work I'm doing. Simplicity is it's own kind of 'pretty'.
I mean we already have this with AMD PSB. Basically a vendor key is physically burned into the CPU that validates the vendor firmware (BIOS/UEFI) and if the signature doesn't check out, the CPU just refuses to run.

I think physical access overriding digital security should largely be fine though, because we have a lot of tamper-evident devices for identifying physical access but you largely can't do that for digital.

Like, I can imagine a more consumer friendly PSB using a physical "key" plugged into the motherboard that's essentially a ROM board but using human visible solder pads for the bits of the key. And you could order your own key pair that comes with signing keys from the CPU vendor if you want to sign your own authenticated firmware.
Any rational marketer or PR officer would gladly give up that $4,500 to avoid this HN post.
Also, if the ecosystem was rooted in scams, it infects any sort of idea that would come out of the ecosystem... The very basis of money that relies on computers, computer networks, and related infrastructure when all of these aspects of our lives fail on us regularly even now in the year 2022 just seems plain scammy in general with all of the other societal and environmental risks we are dealing with.

In crisis, only the most adventurous ones of us gamble, any grow addicted to it, and most lose... A lot.

The traditional rule books are key to survivability in tough business times... Tangible goods and services, a deep focus on quality, reasonably paced sales growth, customer support, low dependency on external factors and suppliers... Crypto and Web3 represents none of those things, and that's why a lot of the time it is based solely on marketing vapor, and also why many don't want to invest in it (unless perhaps they are addicted to gambling or unless they want to promote a particular aspect of it for their own personal financial gain).

With AWS I know I can always get someone on the phone who can, or if they can't they will find someone who can, explain any billing or technical question.

Yep, as soon as the car leaves the shop configured as 90, if Tesla discovers the error they should just laugh it off and move on. The most they should do is inform the customer of their error and be like "Bank error in your favor, keep your 90."
Thanks for the feedback.

Ya, with all the ETL work I've done, I've been cured of any interest in visual programming, "no-code", and the latest iteration of CASE tools in general.

Aside from all the BizTalk specific heartache...

With patch-cord programming, you always have to drop down to actual code for that last 5% of work, the fit & finish. Then you're fighting the framework (tool).

Better to have an API that's easy and bulletproof. My solution for HL7 "interface" implementations was to ingest the specifications (authored by our customer facing business analysts) and output Java source code. Then use any IDE (tool stack) to proceed as normal for that last 5%.

We'd onboard new teammates (to do "HL7 interfaces"), most who had never seen Java before, in about 2 weeks. At the time, the assumption was onboarding to ICAN (or equiv) would take about 3 months. (Yikes.)

I was always interested in playing with C# and LINQ for our work. But none those sales leads panned out.
