it takes a bit of getting used to but it is surprising efficient
Same as the <blink> tag used to be used. You attract attention by showing something designed to be irritating. Obvious serious or dangerous mistakes are known to be irritating and attract attention, and clearly that works.
As an architect working on maintenance & refactoring, I find regular value in being able to understand the context (issue tracker ticket) in which a commit was made.

Also more than mildly useful for devs doing porting work.

Commit comments are rarely substantive enough, and "asking relevant people" is nice but not an actual substitute for keeping meaningful records.
Not quite. HDR10 is static metadata on top of the BT2020 PQ data, with PQ being what gives it high dynamic range. HLG being another way to encode high dynamic range data. The Dolby Vision content captured by an iPhone is actually HLG, for example, not PQ. Other Dolby Vision profiles, like profile 5, is similarly not BT2020 PQ but instead IPTPQc2.

So HDR10+ is dynamic metadata on top of HDR10's static metadata on top of BT2020 PQ which is what makes it "HDR" in the first place. That's easy.

Dolby Vision is then a profile clusterfuck. Sometimes it's just dynamic metadata on top of HDR10. Sometimes it's dynamic metadata on top of HLG. Sometimes it is its own thing entirely.
I second the call that WP is web done right. Yes, of course there's bias; it's not possible to produce bias-free content, and WP's particularly bad in the fields of politics and history, and really any field where facts aren't settled and feelings are strong.

Enter critical thinking. If you dig just a little (e.g. read the talk pages and the edit histories), you can soon learn that some topic has been taken over by POV-pushers and is unreliable. Anything to do with Israel/Palestine/West Bank is unreliable; the boss is a zionist, and so are a lot of the senior staff, so it's not surprising. But WP is a million times better than the web that search engines expose.

Incidentally, I usually search using DDG. But DDG seems to hate Wikipedia; WP results usually don't show up on DDG until page 2. Google surfaces WP results on page 1, if not at the top of the resultset.
The message might be indeed end-to-end encrypted but the local WhatsApp installation could extract keywords as you type from the message and send them to Meta.
An interesting experiment would be the same thing you are doing but isolated in a note taking app to discard the google keyboard you’re using. Also, it would be interesting if you can use e.g.: proxyman (available directly on iOS), or some proxy on your PC to intercept your network traffic and then try to reproduce while blocking/allowing some domains. Especially, blocking all google domains, then facebook domains, etc. If you have a Pi-hole set-up doing that at dns level may be easier.

I’ve never been able to reproduce these experiments. But keep in mind that I’m european and my WhatsApp app is slightly different - it is a version from WhatsApp Ireland (instead of WhatsApp Inc) which shares less data with third parties, the privacy policy is also slightly different for the european union.

Edit. Another idea: try to reproduce while disabling predictive text on your keyboard.
Modern motherboards often don't have PCIe slots next to the x16 "GPU" slots, as they'd nearly always be under the cooler, so why waste PCIe lanes (and BOM cost) on a slot there? The increasing trend towards x3 and x4 width cards might mean you'd be able to use the next but one slot (assuming they don't get removed soon...), but even then there isn't really standardisation about what type of PCIe slot goes (or doesn't get fitted) in which position on the motherboard.
It was always going to be a sea of shows - the low barrier for entry, basically owning a microphone, means anyone can at least give it a shot. A bunch of friends rambling on Discord and calling that a podcast, is now a common practice.

You need a very specific kind of person to produce a podcast worth your while. It needs to be extremely well researched, written for audio, and delivered a certain way. It will never be radio, regardless of the monetization model, because it's not live - which is arguably one of its biggest draws.
That’s the way they wrote it. In reality, having an accountability partner is not new and it’s likely this guy signed on for it. Think of it like an AA sponsor - however poorly implemented here.
I think you are being generous. The science behind cigarettes isn’t difficult and yet the industry was able to obfuscate for too long. It happens all the time and there are many, many examples. Climate change is another recent one.
While I share the general concern about climate change, talk of population collapse in South Asia is all too familiar to be taken seriously at face value. In fact: life in South Asia has slowly been improving since Independence. Before independence, famines involving millions of deaths were common [1]. The one called "Chalisa Akaal" was particularly devastating. [2]

In the 75 years since independence from Britain, IIRC there has been only one major famine in either India, Bangladesh and Pakistan taken together, the 1970 famine in Bangladesh just prior to the 1971 war. Green revolution has been a great boon.

Doom and gloom about an overpopulated South Asia is common. On the other hand, perhaps the reason why the region is so populated is that it has historically been very conducive for human habitation even using very low technology.

Where I believe most predictions have got it wrong is the ability of humans to adapt. I hope with John McCarthy, that science and sense will be able to overcome such dire crises. [3]

Censorship of dissident medical views - many of which were later proven correct - during this period doesn't concern you?

I pointed out the existence of differing viewpoints being silenced, was shouted down, and you follow this up with mockery?
Half of the article is below the level of /r/coding as far as C goes, only to boast for the billionth time about how safer Rust is.
Podcasting existed back in the early 2000s assuming you define it as RSS audioblogs, e.g. Adam Curry. However, there was definitely a first generation which was in the vein of "Hey, I can do radio all by myself" and the current second generation. I don't know if 2014 is the right date--seems late--but there was definitely a difference in kind once you had automagical syncing on smartphones and a viable market for podcasts paying audio engineers and producers, etc.
This is also the story of the past several millenia of "progress" in human translation between natural languages.

You trust a human translator because their ability has been partially verified by an authority (language certificate) and many people have employed their services with few complaints. Similarly, you trust a translation program because it was partially verified (hidden test cases) and many people use it with an acceptable amount of complaints (given its convenience).
> only you and the person you're communicating with can read or listen to what is sent, and nobody in between, not even WhatsApp

I guess the key lies in "what is sent" in the above statement. The casual reader might reasonably interpret as "no-one except the intended recipient can see _what I type_". But it doesn't say that. It only covers what gets _sent_. It doesn't say anything about what happens to the content outside specifically _sending_ it to the other party(ies).
A few rare earths, precious metals like platinum, copper, etc. It's also why recycling them is a thing.
Years of dealing with anxiety painted a different picture of these events.

When I get really anxious, I've learned to notice it not because of how I feel, but because of what I think about. My mind does two things. It will either distract me with soothing ideas (video games, side gigs) or (like TFA) it will go full anxiety and I'll hyper-focus on anything in the past that made me feel helpless, angry, or afraid.

Anxiety manifests as exam dreams, resurfacing relationship issues suddenly, body image woes, or just constantly checking to see if I have my wallet.

There's a much simpler explanation that works for me. Your mind is trying to explain the signals it's receiving, and it is grasping at straws by surfacing memories that triggered similar signals. It's a byproduct of a correlation engine and that's pretty much it.

I understand the obsession with divining meaning in arbitrary shared experience, but if my 350,000 hrs of use has taught me anything, it's that the mind is an arbitrary, guideless storyteller.

There's actually quite a bit of research supporting this, it turns out.
The makers of The Last Express, the only point-and-click adventure game I've played that really worked for me, had an interesting interview where they talked about how they chose the setting specifically to suit the constraints of the medium - it's the nature of an adventure game to be "on rails", and putting you onboard a short train was a way to allow you to move "freely", without artificial constraints, but without exploding the state space.
I’d love to know more about that, if you blog or podcast, please share us a link.

I never owned one of those cards but worked on a Mac that did on a summer job as a teen.
That doesn’t even make sense. Why go through the trouble of retargeting based on images? If you took a photo of something you likely already own it.
Password length isn't necessarily cause for concern in this context. See: https://www.troyhunt.com/banks-arbitrary-password-restrictio...

As for MFA, the only Australian bank that seems to do it right is Macquarie (who let you remove SMS 2FA and replace it with a decent authenticator app). A handful will issue physical tokens on request (eg HSBC).
People will migrate to other countries or other parts of their own countries leading to war and strife.

You can already see this happening in parts of Africa.
>As Vivaldi is built on the Chromium code, how we tackle the API change depends on how Google implements the restriction. The assurance is, whatever restrictions Google adds, in the end, we’ll look into removing them.

Is this not a serious wake up call for all these companies relying on Chromium? You are staking so much of your business on a giant conglomerate that does not care about you or your users, whose only aim to sweep up as much data from the web as possible to feed their ad machine.
Messaging over…
Bluetooth?
I think there's something missing here. Is that the price per unit stored, or the price per unit of capacity to store?

Batteries cost $120/kWh of initial capacity, but they can be recharged between hundreds and multiple thousands of times before significant degradation, depending on the specific design? Picking x1000 arbitrarily, that adds 12¢ to the cost of electricity that goes via a battery today (a lot to be sure, but significantly less than the average domestic cost here).

I think hydrogen electrolysis is about 60-90% efficient, so 1/0.9 to 1/0.6 times the electricity cost to make as gas (assuming the hardware cost is amortised to the point of being negligible), but that isn't as high as $1/kWh even for domestic electricity prices here in Germany. Square cube law implies large scale storage will be much cheaper than small scale storage, so I'm still expecting that to be lower than $1/kWh as delivered, though I can believe it might cost that to build the capacity.

Better to have a computer pick random topics.
Now I'd be really interested in some examples (names/years) of your simplification of JS tools? theory, because as a semi-interested bystander it doesn't match my experience.
Are you sending each other links or just mentioning the ads in text?

If this is just in text—and I'm definitely not defending Meta here—could it also be that the ads you see have got us so figured out already? The topic you choose to talk about may be influenced or seeded by your environment (online/offline), and one thing leads to the other almost deterministically.

Here's an experiment: try rolling a die a few times or using a random number generator to pick one word or more from a list like the EFF wordlists [0], and then talk about that exclusively.

No one is prohibited from having those discussions in an age appropriate manner.
This is true.

Long before the web, when I was a child, my father would chide me for my bold claims unsupported by facts with the phrase "Confident; but wrong."
So no matter how bad you believe private corporations are at controlling the narrative. Do you think having government control is better?
Russia isn't even capable of equipping all their current real troops in Ukraine with tanks build after the 60's, what are the conscripts going to ride on ? T55's?.
That’s of course because WhatsApp's privacy policy isn’t applicable in the Metaverse.

Looking at this from a reality perspective is not very helpful.
I have a suspicion as well that this is what they're doing: before the message is encrypted and sent, the app (on your phone) does analysis and picks out keywords relevant for advertising. So they can claim and be technically correct that they are not reading your messages. Although if their algorithm is doing it on your phone, is it... reading?

Or they can say, technically it wasn't a message before it was sent. The dictionary definition[1] even mentions "send".

Yes means there is life out there. No means there isn't life in the specific place we looked, but the universe is very big. So no is really pretty meaningless.
Don’t talk about sexual topics in a manner that is not age appropriate?
> There is obviously no way of knowing the actual time that will take without trying (...)

How is that obvious? Deleting a file doesn't just block for no reason. The OS (usually) or disk hardware (rarely) are the ones that decide to block it, and they have the information needed to know how long it will take.

What actually happens is that the advantages of showing a correct progress bar simply don't justify the complexity needed for it, and a decision to show a crappy incorrect progress bar is made.
Augusto Cesar Sandino's rebellion against the U.S.
Is the answer giving government more power?

Conservatives love “the free market” and “small government” when it suits them. These are the same politicians who are opposed to net neutrality. It’s much easier to create an alternative social media platform than create an alternative ISP.
> But as noted elsewhere, 15 A is a max for short periods, the practical limit for continuous use is more like 1200-1400 W which definitely seems like it might be plausible soon.

Per NEC in the US, the wire used in a circuit has to be rated to handle a current draw of up to 80% continuously at the specified temperature max for the type of installation.

80% of 15 is 12, the average home in the US has split phase incoming power with a nominal voltage of 120V (1440W) with many as high as 125V (1500W). Note that is current draw over long periods of time, which a gaming rig under heavy gaming won’t usually do. Maybe a mining rig back in the day would, but otherwise it’s just not true you’re continuously drawing anywhere near 1,000+ watts on anything but the most crazy setups.

> I said near, we still have some breathing room.

No, you made a wild ass conjecture not based in fact and when gently questioned on it, you shifted goal posts and made up more conjecture.
Rust hype seems to be reaching critical levels. Is it really that perfect?
Maybe I'm odd, but I don't really do podcasts at all.

Which is quite frustrating, as there are various technical blogs I've followed over the years, and when some of them transition to a podcast, or a video equivalent, I just stop following.

There's probably some useful/interesting information in there, I'm just not interested in suffering through the 40-50% waffle, or worse - meaningless video of a talking head.
It's more the energy cost involved in purifying the refined silicon and implanting the dopants without causing defects that hurt panel efficiency.

And the glass covers and aluminum frames. Making them also uses a lot of energy.

Roll-to-roll low temperature printed PV (using perovskites on plastic film)[1] potentially has lower production cost for this reason.

Put a roll in a shipping container with the controller and inverter electronics, truck it to the site, roll it out on the ground,[2] and hook up the inverter to the grid. Construction costs don't get much lower than that.

2. Bulldoze and steamroll the ground first, if you want. Optional.
It's interesting how the horror game genre is currently actually still making almost all of these mistakes, yielding the same predictably frustrating outcomes (and yet people keep making them).
Fake releases plaguing my Spotify playlists

No has to be understood to be “maybe.” if there’s one negative that will be very very hard to ever approve, this is it.
Funny thing about HN - until 6 months ago, I was working alongside them at the DOE and had been since 2008 or 2013 (depending if you include grad grants or not) developing electrochemical cells to significantly curtail CO2 emissions from the grid.
I have said experts personal cell phone numbers.
They’re pointing out nonlinear combinations of negatives from multiple crises. Economies of scale, to inappropriately borrow a term, in the wrong direction. The definition absolutely is needed.
> When am sufficiently stressed at work - a recurring dream I have is that I am in the exam room ready to take a test, but did not study or I have mixed up the dates and came prepared for the wrong subject.

Because my high school Biology course (A Levels in the UK) was divided into modules assessed throughout two years I came to the last exam pretty sure that I didn't have to score many marks to get the grade I was aiming for.

I ended up in a weird situation where my instinct was to prepare really well but, in practice, I should skimp on revision for Biology and concentrate on subjects that weighted the end-of-year exams higher.

The strategy worked out - I hit what I was aiming for in Biology and in the other subjects. But that whole very tactical approach so went against my character that, to this day, anxiety dreams manifest about not having done the work for that specific exam. Often they're further exaggerated (e.g. I've simply forgotten to go to any lessons all year, etc) but it focuses around that event.

I find it weird that my subconscious prefers that over arguably even more stressful (and sometimes less successful!) exams at university. Maybe I was just more equipped to deal with it by then.
Show HN: Bonito – the Hassle free text classifier in R
For all tech-people and data-scientists out there:

I am happy to launch a prototype version of a text classifier in R. You can run the code locally or in a docker environment. I provide you with an example data set but you are welcome to use your own training data and and set your own labels.

I am happy if you use the model and give me feedback. I am also interested in what you have used the model for and with what data.

A star on Github always helps too!
Only podcast where I felt the information value was high enough to listen to was "Signals & Threads", and even they provide a transcript. You can just put on most Youtube videos to 2x too.

It's just such a useless thing, podcasts. Maybe if you have a long commute in public transport so you zone out for the duration.
This is very reasonable

I work on a competing product (not for any of the named companies in this thread).

I don't think there is any fault with the e2e encryption. Humans are very bad at seeing causality when there is none, or accidentally leaking their thoughts into the search box.

There could also be leaks with the clipboard, photo gallery or keyboard - all things that freemium apps love to scan in the background. The way real-time-bidding ad markets work, anyone that the data leaks to can influence ad ranking - doesn't have to be FB/Meta.

If you did a true blind study, I think you'd find no link.

For example, start with a list of 1000 products images and accompanying text. Select 2 at random each day. Flip a coin to decide which to send (keep the other as control). Cover the screen so the user can't see what they've sent/received. Then, a few days later ask the user to select which product they think they sent.

I'd bet that even after months of doing this, there will be no finding of a leak.
Yes, and yes. It doesn’t prohibit natural classroom discussion at those younger ages. It doesn’t prohibit classroom instruction at all if it’s age appropriate.
Right, the most exotic stuff in (some) solar cells is cadmium and tellurium. The cadmium is nasty but not hard to source, maybe 8 g/m^2. Perovskite cells use a thin film of mostly lead or tin, and maybe some bromine.

They should be calling the neodymium and stuff sometimes used in wind turbines "lanthanides", instead, to avoid misleading people about their availability.
The safer we get, the more people fear, the more they seek reassuring but useless things like guns...
I can relate; locked into Emacs is not a problem on desktop, but when not on a machine it is a big liability. Leaving all the little clever hacks and fine tuning behind for large part of my day make me feel...less.

I have tried a bunch of org-mode parsers to get out of Emacs for some of my workflows (e.g blogging, note taking/reading), but they all have the problem that anything I built on top of org gets left behind.

Most recently, I've been experimenting with just delegating the job of Emacs to Emacs itself e.g for blogging, converting my org-mode files to HTML. Here's the code I am using: https://github.com/bitspook/cl-ownpress

I am using it for converting my org-roam notes to mobile-readable HTML so I can read them when on the move and explore my notes based on tags, a featuer I've found missing in the popular org-roam-ui (last time I tried it). I am also using it to create my blog. So far so good.

I enjoy fantasizing how the lisp hacks I do in emacs/org on desktop could carry over to mobile.
Just how bad is it in general?

Dynamic ads mean that ads get placed all through the whole show archive whenever they sign a contract. Sucks, right? Almost. The trick is to wait until a show's contract expires and before they've lined up a new one, download the whole show archive so you can enjoy it ad-free.
