I'm pretty sure the metaphorical platform had already fully melted down by 2011, they just hadn't realized it yet. Nokia was not dead on January 9th, 2007 but maybe by 2008 when the App Store launched or perhaps in 2010 when FaceTime launched with the iPhone 4. At that time Nokia made very solid utility devices that admirably did their jobs. What they failed to ever make and what I suspect they failed to realize that Apple was making was a desire object - something that was more than the sum of its parts. The N9000 and the N9 were technically very good (on paper even better than the iPhone) but they lacked the integrated and holistic design decisions that made the iPhone special.
As a tangential topic, all those AI companies that profusely talk of using AI ethically must first disclose their data provenance. Otherwise, it is just lip service.

Having said that, I could hypothetically use an open source compiler/linker to compile copyrighted source code and produce executable artefacts. That doesn't protect me against infringement complaints.

In this hypothetical case, the compiler/linker creators are not responsible for the infringement; As the user, I would be.

The situation is murkier with AI models. The model itself may have been created from sources of unknown provenance (i.e., including potentially copyright infringing material). Most AI models are released with licensing that puts the onus of the legality of the generated output on the user. This is slightly different from the open source compiler/linker example above because the user is ostensibly in the dark about the source of infringement.

There is also the question of concepts of fair use, transformative works and derivative works that is in the legal domain. All we can say at the moment is that this is untested in courts and there will be some precedent-setting caselaw that will emerge from lawsuits that will make it to the courts in various jurisdictions around the world.

So, tread with caution. Use models that are open about their training data and algorithm provenance.
I want this to be a thing as long as I can support it but I would definitely like to get some help with scaling it. Right now if I told you how this worked you would laugh for real. Look at my recent comments if you want to find a way to contact me, I'd love some other people to help me make this better and build out img2img support.

Really happy to hear you are enjoying it :) Please forgive me if it falls over, I am operating in a hostile environment haha.
here's the HN comment chain from last week:

a good pattern is using lambda to boot and then monitor ec2 spot. you the flexibility of lambda and the power of ec2 spot.

some external event triggers the boot lambda.

1 minute schedule triggers the monitor lambda.
Well, there’s an implicit label, isn’t there? Translation models are shown pairs of texts in two languages, so the implicit label is “these two texts are saying the same thing”. Won’t you always need some form of supervision to learn the mapping from one domain to another?
If they'd keep their word and stop the ID.me engagement they'd have plenty of money to upgrade their systems.

By virtue of the incumbency and respective "business" models, it is possible for Mastodon to not lose even as Twitter wins, while the converse is ... implausible.
The explore page is personalized, meaning it shows you repositories that are similar or related to ones you’ve already seen. It’s useful, but the trending page shows overall trends on GitHub and is a great way to expand your horizons and discover new things happening in the open source community.
Ask HN: Working as a software engineer for 5 years, I've forgotten all CS stuff
I have a Bachelor of CS. But after working for 5 years, I can't remember these CS stuffs like Computer Organization, OS theories, Database normalization. What occupies my mind is delivering the feature to meet business goals and Kubernetes stuffs.

Is this normal? Or I need to work harder to learn them again?
As someone who didn’t know it existed. I concur.

It’s just a random link at the top of the page and I’ve never had any incentive to click it or look at it. But now that I see people find it useful it makes me want to check it out daily for a while to see what shows up on there.
I'm really having trouble understanding why this is even relevant in 2022. Who cares what the excuses and problems were within Nokia in 2011? Is Nokia's inability to keep up with cell phone technology in 2011 and important part of technical history? Business history? If so, why? I didn't even really get the burning oil rig analogy. It was a pretty melodramatic way of describing being beaten by a competitor, which happens all the time in business history.

Then I looked around the whole website, and there was interesting data. Which ended in 2018. The whole website seems abandoned.
What? So you want to read only left wing things? Personally I prefer to continue seeing both sides because there is no good side.
Where could I educate myself on the vulnerabilities of PoS?
It seems like for PoW, the vulnerability comes from variability of computing power of miners - if miners capacity dips for a few hours because of external events, attacker can use that opportunity and bring online a lot of resources to do a 51% attack.

Doesn't a PoS attack require 51% of coin ownership? How would an attacker obtain that without being massively rich to begin with?
> scientists desire to have a positive impact on society (beyond simply increasing knowledge)

That's where you're off into Error Land. Increasing knowledge is the only legitimate goal of science. If you wanted to benefit society, you should have gone into a different line of work.
>Even M.2 can only do 2GB/s or so, right?

2012 called and they want their PCIe 2.0 devices back.

My PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD does 7GB/s for bursts up to ~700GB at a time (SLC cache) which is very convenient when I'm moving video around. You can also get x8 and x16 data center SSDs.

PCIe 5.0 SSDs should come out next month and double that.
Mildly on-topic, Zig has basically that behavior, and it's really smooth in my experience.
> That his letter pointed out a real problem never seemed controversial.

Only in retrospect. At the time, the internet was full of people who thought Symbian was Just Fine. And they had sales figures of millions of (mostly 12-key) "smartphones[0]" to prove it. And then this shifted to "Lost Causeism" when whatever MooMooMo platform never got off the ground.

I’d love some statistics to back up this assertion as from what I have seen regular recreational pot smoking and regular excessive drinking have a big overlap.
The most effective thing the team behind this feature did to drive adoption was to threaten to remove it. More people know about this feature now than ever would have through traditional marketing tactics.
In 100 years we won’t have massive underssea cables. Just a single Anker USB9 going from New York to London.
I haven’t looked but wonder if there is a measurement available and how bad it is comparatively.
I am incredibly glad they are keeping it around for now -- for now being the key word here. From the way they worded it, doesn't seem like they were prepared for the feedback they received, in terms of (paraphrased) "the few people who used the page seem to love it". How do they not know such an important metric? Shouldn't they be able to measure the number of recurring users? Shouldn't that metric tell them that instead of shutting it down they may just need to promote it better?
When you buy a property your citizenship is now recorded. Previously it wasn't. We're now seeing the amount of people without Canadian citizenship has plunged. Before the tax was introduced in some areas of Metro Vancouver the amount of foreign buyers was relatively low, but in some areas the amount of foreigners was in the high teens, approaching 20%.

As the amount of foreign buyers is now explicitly recorded in all real estate purchases, presumably Mr. Ogmundson looked up that data. He wouldn't have had to do anything creative or difficult to come up with this data.

> Is there some reason one should believe that this data, or the government that administers it, is trustworthy?

If you're at the point where you're not trusting data the government collects I dunno man. Keep your tin foil hat on tight bud.

I've always figured you could just do an auction.

Say you have 500 tickets. You give everyone who wants to go 48 hours to submit how much they're willing to pay for a ticket. At the end of the time period the 500 people whose bids were the highest all get the tickets.

You could publish the current price of the tickets during the bidding time frame and allow people to modify their bids at any point.

The final price would be whatever the 500th lowest bid was. In the event of a tie, choose randomly among the people tied for 500th.

I imagine this would be greeted with complaints about how it gives the rich an advantage, but I can't think of a fairer way to distribute tickets that also avoids the scalper problem.
I said in 1980 not the 1980s. And this stuff started as a minority viewpoint inside a small corner of the academy. It took many years to blossom into what it is now. People have always been writing stupid things.
It’s inane. Prop 27 will provide less than 500M of state revenue / year, which is < .2% of the state budget, yet the proponents make it seem like this is a huge amount of funding.

I really wish News sources were better at putting big numbers into context.
See e.g. [1]:

"Most Machiguenga do not have personal names. Members of the same band are identified by kin terminology, while members of a different band or tribe are referred to by their Spanish names."

There are also plenty of cultures where a person has multiple distinct names whose use depends on the context, cultures where one's "true name" is considered a secret that must be kept from others, and cultures where people routinely change their own name multiple times during their life just because they have decided they would now like to be called something else.

As a non-professional who attempts to adhere to scientific forms of knowledge, I think this is a far better (and shorter) analysis than the article. The word "politics" has a very ugly connotation right now, and probably for much of history, but at its root, it's the process by which we make decisions as groups of people. Without "politics" we can't maintain social structures bigger than dyads, so we should never neglect politics. If someone is publishing research on a topic that is hotly contested in our society, being ignorant or indifferent to the impact that their publication might have is not a virtue.

That isn't to say scientists should only publish findings that perfectly accord with their political beliefs, but perhaps they could spend more effort trying to present their findings in such a way as to limit the inevitable attempts to draw totally wild conclusions or take them completely out of context. And, for the love of all, don't write abstracts that make it sound like you've made some sort of revolutionary breakthrough or stumbled on hidden fundamental truths! Non-specialists (absolutely including myself) will often read abstracts at best, more likely articles written from other articles written by someone who skimmed the abstract while grinding their proverbial axe. People educated in science are aware of the limitations, non-scientists on the other hand...
"Explore" actually came _after_ "Trending".

It seemed, to me at least, that when "Explore" was originally created, it was intended to eventually replace the "Trending" page, using more personalised information. And the "Trending" page did languish, with more frequent breakages and less frequent updates, since they created the other.
Brouter is definitely one of the most useful resources if you're planning a ride: accurate routing, clear interface, import/export as GPX, etc.
> Increasing knowledge is the only legitimate goal of science. If you wanted to benefit society, you should have gone into a different line of work.

And who are you, so wise in the ways of science, to decide what the only legitimate goal of science can be?

Science, technology, none of these exists in a vacuum. People, even academics, have a life outside of their work. What affects that life affects what they work on as well. It's only natural.
Sounds a lot like what Weinberg was saying in '72 with the whole idea of trans-science.

It’s definitely nowhere near that easy for general consumers.

This Lenovo page lists USB ports “USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (full function, USB+DP+PD)” and “ USB-3.2 Gen 1 Type-A”, with no mention of speed
https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/thinkbook/thinkbook-s...

This HP laptop lists USB 3.1 Type C and 3.1 Type A, with no mention of speed.
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-envy-x360-2-in-1-15-6-touch-...

Apple’s MacBook Air page lists “USB 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10Gb/s)”.

Now, imagine someone buying a USB hub or dock. You might ignore the details from above and just search Best Buy or Amazon for any usbc compatible device. You’ll most likely mess up. Alternatively, you could search for a device specifically compatible with “USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (full function, USB+DP+PD)” as mentioned above for your Lenovo and get immediately super overwhelmed and confused.
The sixth sentence on the project homepage: "Joining a server on Mastodon provides you with the power to communicate with any server across the globe."

Not sure how much clearer it gets.
It is intuitively a bit hard to believe, but bisecting in parallel is actually not much faster than serial. In my experience you just save the final one or two steps in the bisection - regardless of how long the range is!

Imagine bisecting builds with parallelism of two, when one of them completes, there is a 50% chance that the build on the other side of the range is now uninteresting. If you are lucky and it is interesting, you’ve only saved yourself half a step in the bisection, because when running in parallel you sliced the range in 3 rather than 2. Adding even more parallelism just makes this effect even worse.

Someone can probably work out the math better than me but you can quickly see that for 2x build power you instantly waste half the results for very marginal gain.

Just comparing the big O should also tell you this, parallelism only buys you O(N) while bisecting is O(log N).
> cynically read this as "we needed to get more money out of these patients"

Unfortunately in the OECD I think its possie for an American to read it this way due to the unusual health system. Don't get me wrong... things are changing elsewhere too... it used to be a great shame to go sue a surgeon for anything but reckless intentional negligence... after all we all have bodies that age and decay and the surgeon is provided freely as a public service and their profession is to try as best and compassionately as they can with their training they recieved freely to delay or prevent the suffering inevitable from life... now people sue here for like an orthopetic surgury that simply didn't produce any result ... we are becoming more like america it is sad.
I like it for the more niche languages I follow such as rust/go. It's interesting to see where things are happening.
The article you linked is not what the discussion is about, though. Yours is referring to the impacts of discrimination on the people within the scientific community. The original article is about the effect of bias on the results of the research.
CD-RW?
Think of a car loan, then, in which case the bank can just increment the number in your deposit account (until you spend it on a car).

The bit of information your second paragraph alludes to is the fact that all banks have accounts at the Federal Reserve. The Fed has the single database that the banks use to clear with each other. And the Fed and other regularity agencies audit the banks to make sure their internal databases are consistent, their loans are backed by assets of sufficient quality, etc.

This video by an economics professor is accessible to all and explains this to a certain extent in general. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4xgHbW2A9KE

Something to note is that in the US (and most modern economies), the federal government creates a 1:1 exchange rate between private bank money (e.g. money created through loans) and central bank money (numbers in the Fed database and physical cash) via deposit insurance (e.g. FDIC in the US).
> Apple was making was a desire object - something that was more than the sum of its parts.

It's harder to do now with iPhone's market size, but I think we're looking at it with rosy glasses.

Where Apple succeeded is having a viable touch interface. That's where RIM, Nokia, Fujitsu, Compaq and countless other device makers failed at. Including Nokia.

Otherwise the iPhone was buggy and crashing all the time, battery life was trash compared to other phones or the iPod, I don't know anyone actually relying on it to make "serious" calls (we kept our feature phones) it would straight ignore some of the incomming calls and we just were willing to go through all of that to get a usable touch UI.
This has existed for a few years, see https://site-1717195-6840-9526.mystrikingly.com/.

Not with great results though I’d say.
Did you forget about Meego? They shipped the N9 with it. 12 years of iteration on that would have yielded an experience comparable to iOS or Android for sure.
<< I'm really having trouble understanding why this is even relevant in 2022.

It is not intended to be flippant, but I believe this one time the entirety of the relevance boils down to the following:

“Those who forget their history are condemned to repeat it.”

<< It was a pretty melodramatic way of describing being beaten by a competitor, which happens all the time in business history.

Yes, and I am certain MBAs review Nokia rise and fall in great detail as a result.
4 arms, not 3. There’s a hint of one behind her left hip. (Her left, not image left.)
I mean sure, but you can't see signal quality at 1gb/s without a scope capable of much higher rates (you need at least a few points in each period). Short of muxing together several fpgas and hand picking components, you straight up can't see the signals. There's a reason why you can buy a 4 digit multimeter for $30, 5 for maybe $500, and >5 costs thousands.

I’ve heard it describes as a nerd trap: salaries are low and working conditions meh precisely because nerds want to work on the most advanced engineering humanity has ever attempted.
This person should be flagged for bias in interviews.
The initial call to deprecate this page was quite obviously driven by usage telemetry (i.e. "engagement" metrics), rather than actually speaking to users about what they like and don't like. I suspect that companies sometimes believe they can automate their way into quality designs, by relying on analytics, rather than empathizing deeply with their customers.

I do not see that stipulation in the text of the law.
I dont know what hundreds of thousands of projects you're talking about, or what ideology for that matter. It isn't about ideology. I can actually talk to hundreds of thousands of people and say whatever I want. Whatever I want. And they can too. And nobody comes in and tells us to do anything. And there's not a bunch of political influencers and journalists coming around trying to tell us what to think, there's no billion dollar names, just people. It is legitimately a better experience.

I don't care what a typical person cares about, that's the point you're not getting. Nobody on fedi does. Nobody on the internet does outside of the stockade. Caring about what other people care about is how you get these monoculture wannabe coca cola commercials that are the mainstream 5 site web. The old internet we have nostalgia for is still there, with modern technology, you just have to go use it. So that's what people like me do.
To be fair, that sentence has only been there for a couple days. We redesigned our project homepage completely. Some of the copy is still in flux.
I could list 1000 places that are experiencing more moderate conditions than usual right now.

My point is, anecdotal evidence is not meaningful for something as multifaceted as world climate.
This is only true among mastodon servers that connect to each other. As I recall, most servers would not talk to gab's servers.

Further, once you pick a server, if you are kicked off, you lose all your followers because they are following you@thatserver which you cannot get onto anymore.
I think standards in general are confusing to the average person. The average person doesn't care about standards, they care about completing a task: can I use this cable to connect my Mac to a 4k Monitor? Can it pass all the power that my device needs from my charger? Will this cable be a bottleneck if I connect it to my external SSD storage?

None of my computers support USB4 today, but I'm buying USB4 cables so I don't have to waste so much time looking for a cable that will do a particular job.

I want to say that I will only buy cables that are labeled clearly with capabilities and bandwidth but I'm not sure that is a promise I can keep.
I've heard programming != Comp sci, so perhaps it's not a bad thing.
Most major carbon capture and storage projects haven't met targets
Yeah I how everyone who has a body.... a thing that is naturally subjected to ageing and death... has it in for surgeons when they are professionals at trying to reduce the impact of this inevitability. Its like we think our body is a car and we deserve a warantee then sue the surgeon when the surgery doesn't have any effect.

According to some, not according to others. There is no consensus on what science is. Prominent philosophers like Foucault say science is a power-confirming tool first, and therefore definitely political.
