I have two LG Smart TVs with webOS.

While both TVs have a PC connected, it's far easier to use the built-in apps to watch things like YouTube and Netflix.

The apps support 4K without any fuss (which is often locked away on desktop OSes due to DRM).

The LG magic remote is pretty cool, it works a bit like a Wii remote, so you can quickly point to things on-screen.
To hazard a guess - the delayed delivery of Aurora to Argonne National Labs, originally planned (in different form) for 2018 and now expected "late 2022"

Ask HN: Is Clojure Dead?
Hi,
I don't see much about clojure over past 2 years or so. Same goes for other industry functional languages (e.g. elixir, scala, F#).

Are they just in later stages of hype cycle or are they dying out the same way perl did?

For better or worse most of news/fuzz these days seem to be about Rust (not that this translates to actual job postings though).

PS: Asking because I want to delve into a functional language but I cannot bring myself to do this seriously if it doesn't translate into market value.
Not pure speculation. The study of proto Indo European Mythology points to a lot of shared concepts and history, at least pointing to a semblance of shared mythology/religion between cultures that split of from eachother as far back as 4000BC.

Even ignoring ad blocking - with those rules stuff like Tampermonkey which is totally legit can no longer work with execute script. You also lost a lot of functionality by losing DOM, having to rely on the broken lifetime of a Service Worker instead of persistent background page .

It took Google three to four years to acknowledge that the community is completely correct with its criticisms, and that MV3 is garbage designed by people who have no knowledge on how people write extensions and which abilities they actually use.

They're finally adding features that should have been there years ago. The new scripting API which brings back arbitrary scripts, in a new form, the offscreen documents API, and hopefully they'll eventually implement limited event pages which are somewhat solving the background page lifetime and DOM issues (which are already implemented by Mozilla and Safari I believe). Obviously, everything was decided hastily in the last second so all of the features are supposed to be completed by "around" October 2022, just two months before the original MV2 cutoff.

I've also read some of the extension working group transcripts, it's pretty sad how Google/Chrome has no accountability and almost zero transparency.

It depends what you mean by "without a car". I live on the edge of a medium sized city in the UK and could manage without a car for getting the kids to school, shopping and I'm still working at home. In practice, I might need to go to work sometimes and my hobbies require a car so I have one.

When saying the UK isn't a place for grownups ( and it certainly isn't run by grownups at the moment ). I'd place it somewhere between American and Northern Europe in terms of the sensible rating! I like American too, but agree with some of the shortcomings mentioned above.
that's interesting. I wonder how Netflix detects that. would it be as simple as using an Edge user agent, or more complex using the Edge browser engine with embedded DRM keys
They should provide this as a separate library.
Good to hear from you again!

Finally an argument that makes some sense. One example I can think of, would be using this technology to allow someone who is disabled or has social anxiety to attend a meeting at their local city hall and even potentially ask a question to their city council.

I find the cartooney nature of the metaverse as presented by Facebook to be amateurish and annoying, but if this tech can be used to enable people who could not otherwise to be more involved in things that affect their lives, that significantly changes my opinion on it.
Spam is by definition messages that the recipient does not want to receive. Given what happened in Myanmar it looks like these people did want to receive those messages - but some organisations like "Amnesty International" didn't want those users to receive those messages. That is not a spam issue, that is a censorship issue.

In a nutshell (bound by a single tweet of 13):

> The U.S. should have had two exascale supercomputers on the Top 500 in 2021. And Aurora, which has been plagued by Intel’s delays since 2017, should have been first—well before “Frontier” at Oak Ridge National Lab appeared. But Intel dropped the ball over. And over. And again.

It does acknowledge that recent deliveries will allow the project to place on the current supercomputer list by virtue of finally being able to run LINPACK tests ... but that's still a few years late and well short of what was promised to be delivered, tested, bedded, and deep into working by now.
If they detonated it with a rope, they would have gone up in flames themselves as the radius of the leak is over 1 km long. It had to be a delayed charge.
It's about Intel's Aurora supercomputer, which was delayed 4 years due to Intel's production problems and delays in their GPU development: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_(supercomputer)

According to the tweets, researchers who reserved time for their projects on the supercomputer had to sign NDAs so they cannot complain about the delays... not exactly a good look.
Large scale engineering is totally beside the point for this. This is about optimizing for teaching a first language (since many will stick with that).

Read the article, the "static trap" is a real thing for new students (on top of all other ceremony). To solve the issue of main being non-static some students will start to put static everywhere as a 'fix' to their initial issue, a day or two later they'll be asking why every student gets the same name (because they have one static variable to keep the student or name objects).

The verbosity of Java also introduces another more serious problem for learning, not only do the students have problems compiling, they also start putting their mind on focusing on syntax instead of logic once they're past the first few problems. The issue of de-programming students from this affliction is waaay too common to be ignored.

I hate to be the pessimist but I suspect it has never happened and why would it? To allow Figma to bring their culture into Adobe will mean massive changes to a lot of people who have been doing a terrible job for years, it will mean power shifting, it will mean older people accepting that the world has changed and they aren't worth their inflated salaries any more.

Even if they wanted to, I doubt they could change, these things just don't scale. 26K employees, most will just carry on doing what they do.

I think the best way to run any of these things is to keep Figma at arms length. Own it, yes, but let them carry on doing what they are already doing well. Don't force them to make their product more enterprise friendly otherwise they will start doing loads of one-offs, complicating it, basically turning it into Creative Suite.

> Either they stuff some Android stuff into the TV

Are you aware of Google TV? It basically is android on the tv, and it's on lots of low to high end tvs across a bunch of manufacturers (Hisense, Tcl and Sony last I looked).

It's more than good enough for people who are done with cable and broadcast (I'm one of them). There are apps for all the streaming services, both my country's tv channels and the big players like netflix, apple, disney etc, and they perform great.
You'd expect so (and I'd hope so) but nope. Drivers become even more reckless. Driving huge, noise-insulated cars seems to put them in the mindset of total control, detachment from actual speed and "I'm not gonna hurt myself anyways". Depending on the country you can add a less than perfect driver education (if any) to the mix.

I once had a system that was not performing well or predictably. One day I kept hearing drive activity for a long stretch of time that had no right to be happening and it was really spiking my blood pressure. Turns out it was the normal bubbling noise of an open can of soda.
Unfortunately, it is not quite so simple:

> Does this mean that Matrix does not provide confidentiality and/or authentication?

> Matrix and its implementations can, after today’s fixes, provide confidentiality and authentication assurances against malicious homeservers, if users act as follows. Each user must enable cross-signing and perform out-of-band verification with each of their own devices, and with each user they interact with.2 They must then remain vigilant: any warning messages or icons must be spotted and investigated. In the Element user interface, this requires checking the room icon and each individual message they receive (in some cases, past messages can retroactively receive a warning). Note that such warnings could be expected behaviour (for example if the message was decrypted using a server-side Megolm backup or through the “Key Request protocol”). Users would need the expertise to investigate these warnings thoroughly and, if an issue is found, recover from it. If you follow these instructions without fail, Matrix can provide you with confidentiality and authentication.

> This places an unnecessary burden on users of Matrix clients, limits the user base to those with an understanding of the cryptography used in Matrix and how it is used therein, and is impractical for daily use. The burden this places on users is unnecessary and the result of the design flaws we highlight in our work (this is our “Simple confidentiality break” attack). Whilst this issue will persist after today’s fixes, a remediation is planned by the Matrix developers for a later date.

> Some of our other attacks against Matrix’s flagship client Element are based on implementation flaws and, thus, were able to break its confidentiality and authentication guarantees even when the steps above were followed (prior to today’s patches). As of today, most of these issues should be fixed (see above), but we have not independently verified this. The Matrix developers report that other clients are not affected but, similarly, we have not independently verified this.

Erm, yeah, they do. They want a tv that's got the netflix and stuff all built in. A 'normal' person doesn't want to deal with an extra device that may or may not have a separate remote control. They want simplicity. Smart tvs give them that.

It takes time to establish discoverability with a website, you either rely on a search engine, word of mouth, business cards, etc. A new small-business website won't magically start generating traffic without some significant effort.

Using a platform like Facebook or Google Maps makes it easier to for other people to find your page when they want to look for it.

Indeed:

> While the Matrix specification does not require a mitigation of this behaviour, when a user is added to a room, Element will display this as an event in the timeline. Thus, to users of Element this is detectable. However, such a detection requires careful manual membership list inspection from users and to participants, this event appears as a legitimate group membership event. In particular, in sufficiently big rooms such an event is likely to go unnoticed by users.

VSCode is kind of bloated + really bad if you like to exclusively use keyboard control rather than "mouse sometimes", as things lose focus easily when notifications and other things gets focus and then it doesn't drop focus back where you were.

"Learning lessons" isn't really a thing in UK politics if you look at the general trajectory of the past century. If you like the idea of living in the UK but want to avoid the actual UK, might I suggest Ireland or the Netherlands?
When you say 'free content' do you mean free as in beer or free as in freedom?

I agree that 'free as in beer' is not required for a 'foss device', but I don't see how you can have content which is not 'free as in freedom' on a foss device. Without DRM and licensing restrictions, how can YouTube prevent premium users sharing that content with non-paying individuals?

To be clear I am not saying it is right or wrong, just a statement of facts. All I am suggesting is that both business models (ad supported free (beer) content or paid subscriptions) do not respect free software principles. Either way, you are restricting what a user can do with that content.

Security is about tradeoffs. What's the benefit in rotating certificates, if the certificate is issued to the wrong entity?

Though on a second thought I'm not sure what you're getting at. Certificate renewal isn't optional. It's valid for however long it's valid.
This seems to dovetail nicely with the recent thread about the old Usenet post that was found talking about the Trojan exploit.
In response to that post, someone mentioned the possibility of the emerging field of software archaeology in the future. In the same way, I think we will see some kind of archaeology of photography come out of these old photo collections. It might even rewrite history.
I just hope that this sonar is not messing up with marine life and its communication/orientation.
My question is how this sound is made, omitted it for citation reasons. Does this mean that a developer has to create sound wrappers for all external interfaces, which aren’t aware of rescript? It may be viewed as a burdensome perspective. Language bridges usually try to auto-wrap this and throw when something doesn’t match expectations, but it comes at a runtime cost.

About 2. It's not only HN (but I get your point which is why it could be that they are less talked about and more used). Waht worries me is the LinkedIn job ads for clojurists.
It's more like telling Putin to go all in on Ukraine as that country is now 100% controlling transit of Russian gas to EU, so any Russian export is at the mercy of the US in the end. The alternative to bypass Ukraine is now gone, making the goal of controlling the Ukrainian territory a strategic necessity. We can expect the war to get much worse soon. Pretty much Iraq situation on Russian side. This might also lead to their submarines cutting cables and pipes elsewhere in the world, damaging the infrastructure to keep the other side busy.

Ok, so you have an access to some "real" information about Russia? I guess it must be classified, because when I read something that is openly published on the West about Russia, it's usually very weird and untrue information at best.

McFaul is considered an expert on Russia, he even lived here for some time. Still, when he says something about the way we live or the way we think, or anything like that, it's usually so delusional, that I can't understand what was he doing here for two years. Has he even stepped outside of US embassy a single time?..

But on the other hand, I think it's beneficial for us, that all the West lives in a dream that they know everything about Russia.
A lossy text compressor can be converted into a lossless compressor quite easily by encoding the remaining differences between the lossy reproduction and the original text. The more accurate your lossy compressor is, the less additional information you need to encode the differences. You can get even better results if your lossy compressor is probabilistic, and can compute approximate probabilities for different text continuations. GPT-3 is AFAIK probabilistic and should be applicable... maybe someone has already tried?

It makes no sense. Russia would make itself 100% dependent on Ukrainian transit lines, prompting them to go all in to conquer the whole Ukraine, which is a nuisance. Now they have to do it or quit EU completely. This blow up doesn't help either party economically (Russia/EU).
Are people still doing science on Intel silicon?

Why?

What is it exactly that an Intel-based "supercomputer" can do that a hangar full of NVidia GPU's can't?

Looking to understand here, I thought GPU's had changed the HPC landscape for ever.

[EDIT]: Are they workload where the I/O infrastructure required to feed the compute units and that on only Intel can deliver?
Not only the leaders, I'm more terrified of the amount of people on social media cheering for escalation of the war in Ukraine. Anyone mentioning anything other than "send more weapons, kill more people" gets labelled as a russian bot

On reddit it's absolutely insane, 90% of commenters are cheering for ww3, asking for hits on the kremlin, preventive nuclear strikes in russia, &c. thousands upon thousands of posts calling "russians" "orcs", I feel like I'm in the lobby of an online call of duty game

I used to think people were crazy, how could they slowly walk towards ww1 and ww2, now I see how it happens, deep down we're still dumb monkeys

Back when I was a TA, first year students got along just as well with Pascal, Fortran and C++, many of which lacked a programming background.

How does that compare to UK's GDP, for the problem to be massive?
Ah ok ye. Makes sense. I feel still 3M per pop is like one order of magnitude to high for only the properties, land cost excluded (since the land is still there). Especially since many household are 2+ people.

One would expect maybe a hasty big procurement would give twice the cost of building compared to building the houses one by one, not 10 times. Also the roads and water pipes etc should be fine still.
I guess there's a business opportunity right there - surely, with capitalism being what it is, some enterprising soul must have launched a service grooming social media accounts which you can then purchase or even rent whenever you need an online presence?
