The accountants would love that.

Consider what that would do to a company's balance sheet.

Every revocable "purchase" would become a perpetual liability which will almost never be collected.

What happens when the company goes bankrupt? Do all the former customers line up for their refunds as creditors?
Are there any examples of employers actually getting busted for this?
We don't need to know about Higgs boson to research better bateries. But that had to wait till 90s and now it's biting us hard. Space program has stagnated for many decades too.

But it appears as if theoretical physicists don't consider anything of above a science?

Even so, for example if space was a priority, they could by now have huge particle accelerator on moon, free from many earthly constraints, with passively cooled superconducting magnets. Possibly much cheaper.
Wasn’t this guy the original Zooomr[1]? He’s been at it a while…

His find here is somewhat reminiscent of the Maloof’s Vivian Meier’s trove, though not as significant or large.

In any event if you’re on Flickr groups there will be the occasional upload of similar vernacular photograph trove finds. Someone after retiring goes on a cross country trip (sometimes with their SO) takes their 35mm along and do a little Robert Frank interpretation of the journey.

> One of these companies profits by the proliferation of ads and the other does not.

Umm... IIUC, Apple already makes billions from Ads. I'll just leave this here:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2022-08-14/apple-...
Logarithmically
$50/year for students and amateurs
$500/year for certified professionals
$5000/year for companies
$50,000/year for corporations

The last example is assuming your niche is big enough to have a conference every year or two and one or two companies would want exclusive or headline sponsorship.
Read The Phoenix Project - you are describing a “Brent.”
There’s a big “yet” attached to Apple not profiting from the proliferation of ads - from what I’ve read, since they pushed the “ask app not to track” change, Apple has been pushing hard for more widespread adoption of their own advertising platform.

Make no mistake, Apple does not care about your privacy — only about moving the ad money out of Google’s pocket into their own.
Yes, you're concerned with the yield on tens, hundreds of thousands of boards.

It's a different world from a hobbyist's one-off project. This advice was never intended for you, and appropriate advice can differ between audiences.
Being opinionated is a fine quality, but only if a healthy dose of curiosity is maintained. Otherwise, an opinionated and incurious person, which tends to be an argumentative person, adopts a pattern of behaviors that satisfy their ego, but which are also less selfishly beneficial. It is better to learn by listening than living and dying by fixed opinion.
I have the same TV and have literally never thought about the ads on it except when reading articles on Hacker News.

It seems like a huge benefit these days to be the sort of person who just isn't bothered by ads, like you can enjoy products and have more options available and don't have to do a ton of work to enjoy them.
I was factually incorrect Apple generates about 1% of their annual revenue from ads [1]. Google generates 81% of their annual revenue from ads [2].

I don't mind infinity in mathematics, it seems quite useful. I just don't think infinity exists in the real world.

To quote David Hilbert, "The infinite is nowhere to be found in reality. It neither exists in nature nor provides a legitimate basis for rational thought... The role that remain for the infinite to play is solely that of an idea."

Interesting idea, though I suspect a ship of that size didn’t break up as much as MH370 probably did. This would make detection harder since the remaining pieces would be much smaller.
>On how touchscreens are over-used for the sake of updating without physical constraints. "The software guys can independently do the design of the UI, changing things down to the very last moment, or even after the last moment if the car can be updated."

Or just changing the underlying software. Especially insidious things like inserting new functionality that the user never wanted. Like clicking on the text entry part of a chatbox and instead of getting a blinking cursor to begin typing, getting a User agreement dialog and an "I accept button". Utterly infuriating change.
Thanks :) To be clear, Third Room really is a groundbreaking thing completely irrespective of Matrix - it ties together glTF, Three.js, bitECS and Rapier to produce an entirely new web-first game engine called Manifold, capable of native grade performance in browser thanks to heavy use of SharedArrayBuffers and Atomics. The fact we then use Matrix for decentralised e2ee networking and storage is just the cherry on top.

Frankly, the metaverse scene desperately needed an entirely open source, open standards based platform, without financial incentives - similar to the open web but for realtime spatial content, and we kinda hope Third Room could be it.
I don't know the answer to either of those questions. But I don't think the economics of desktop OS distribution have changed all that much in the last 30 years. I'd imagine the marginal unit costs have gone from very cheap to basically nothing now that physical media is a rarity. If modern OSes take more development effort (which seems likely), I don't think that changes the economics.
It's likely not a sincere concern for user security, or eg google could grant ublock origin and a handful of others permanent mv2 access. And nobody else. Or require stringent whitelisting. etc. There's no rules here except the ones google chooses to impose.
I’m a sufficiently advanced programmer, and I still use the Arduino IDE rather than anything else for my electronics projects (though mostly non-Arduino boards these days)

My VSCode setup is already crowded with Development tools for other platforms and the Arduino IDE reliably works, with the libraries. I’ve been using the 2.0 beta for awhile And it is really nice. I’m pleased it’s made it out of beta.
Depends. If it is a poorly designed remote that forces you to think about how to operate it, the friction makes it much less you-like.
I agree, but note the definitions get progressively more exclusive.
Is this a history of computers or the Apple product line? The history of Apple and computers is intertwined, no doubt, but there are other companies out there driving the industry. I notice Microsoft’s products like the Surface are missing completely, but they make note of marginal iPhone features like a higher resolution display being introduced in 2010. The descriptions read like they come directly from the Apple marketing department. Is this sponsored by Apple or something?
It's a thing of the past in residential areas

And by "residential areas," I assume you mean "the very specific residential area where I live in my neighborhood, in my city, in my county, in my state, in my nation" since there is simply no way for you to have made a detailed assessment of the availability of open wifi for the entirety of the rest of the planet, or even for the small subset of its people who are on HN.

But thanks for informing me, and the 300 other people who reside in my building that we don't live in a residential area.

Our solution targets the physical network in off-cloud, edge and distributed cloud use cases.

The physical network is most likely the absolute root of trust and attestation. Physical devices gain their personalities from what network they are connected to.

Physical networking is still the biggest impediment to operating on-prem infrastructure. You need to hire very expensive engineers, deal with a bizarre purchasing paradigm dictated by a few large companies (Cisco, Arista, Juniper, etc) and the management of these devices is pretty close to being from the Stone Age.

So we’re looking to fix all of that with a pure open source play, using components that everyone is familiar with.

The end goal is that a Devops person with basic network skills should be able to build their own physical network for modern cloud native applications, with very low levels of friction but similar cost efficiencies as cloud operators like AWS, Azure, GCP.
Yeah, on the AWS side.

For some reason I read the title thinking that both ships sank that night. Apparently this one survived until WW1.

"The globe" won't remember the difference between Kentucky and Nebraska two days from now. They'll just remember that flyover states DGAF about people from other nations. My state got painted with that brush just as yours did. Instead of sitting in Louisville and taking this enormous silly offense you've taken (which seriously is like somebody in suburban St Louis caping up to steal the valor of the Winter's Bone family), why not direct your ire where it might do some good? The email I actually got from the state employee shortly after posting the above (which I'll happily forward to you) said "Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately, the security settings are based on standards for Kentucky state government web pages and modification of those standards is beyond my control." Frankly that doesn't seem all that different from what I wrote? Take it from an actual hillbilly: when your state is less embarrassing you won't have to get as embarrassed about it.
> and used it better since the lighting tech had real impact on gameplay systems other than "you can't see"

Yeah, I always was perplexed by that tendency in Doom3… I mean, I get that lighting calculations aren’t tracing the effects of light past the first surface it hits, but does it have to be black when there’s no lights hitting a surface? Couldn’t they have done a cheap approximation of “ambient light” based on how many lights there are nearby, and use that light level as a minimum for totally occluded surfaces?

I remember reading that the choice to use black was literally a performance optimization because the renderer got to fully skip drawing surfaces that were fully occluded and it saved some render time. Then I also read that it was a design choice to give it a more panicked environment because you couldn’t see what’s in the shadows… but it always looked clunky to me, seeing fully black areas when there’s clearly a lot of reflective scattering surfaces around.
Everybody already knew they broke regulations, because that was in TFA. But it was not the question I asked.
This is an aside, but Arduino has saved my butt during the chip shortage. It's often possible to port code from one chip platform to another with relative impunity. I've ported mundane apps to lower performance chips, to free up the fancy boards when new boards become unavailable. Also, sharing code across platforms has resulted in a much larger developer community.

Nothings perfect, sometimes you need chip specific functions, but I have so far been pretty lucky.
That's not quite the Karger–Thompson attack; it's just a garden-variety library backdoor, being inserted by a garden-variety virus. Garden-variety viruses are self-replicating, and so is the Karger–Thompson attack, but they don't have much else in common.

The key thing about the Karger–Thompson attack — the thing that makes it so scary — is that all your source code can be absolutely clean, you can recompile the compiler from clean source code, and you're still compromised.

But if you recompiled the Delphi compiler from an infected installation...
In what way? The hard part of using FPGAs is all the computer engineering background necessary to design and debug circuits. The janky IDEs are really the least of the hobbyist's problems and cheap student/hobbyist boards (e.g. Digilent Arty series) have been available for years.

>the imaginary AGI needs "aligned values?" Aligned with whose values?

This is something that is pretty well addressed in their writings and is definitely a heavily considered topic. It gets quite heavily into philosophy because ideally you want to count future-you's preferences as well as current-you and you want to avoid, say, genocide just because most people dislike a certain group.

A good place to start is here: https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/coherent-extrapolated-volition but there is a LOT of discussion of this topic.
This has happened so many times in recent years, I've grown tired of warning people about it. It's such a simple trick but almost everyone falls for it.
Third Room itself looks very cool, and I hope to try it in VR whenever that's possible. However...

I've grown increasingly disillusioned with ACL-based permissions systems for distributed social applications like this. Matrix is very strongly oriented towards ACLs/user identity, and the result is that applications like this which could operate without access to much of my existing account data nevertheless run effectively as me and can thus do everything I can. That's super dangerous when I'm the admin of a few rooms, because e.g. granting another user admin privileges in a room is irrevocable.

There have been plenty of cases when I've wanted to try out a Matrix-based app, but every time I do that I'm handing over the keys to my account to the app, which may or may not be trustworthy. And the consequences of mistakenly trusting a malicious app are severe.
I'm not following. Everyone agrees that smart (surveillance) TVs suck but nobody is willing to take their money elsewhere. I'm the only person, in my social circle, who cares about this issue. How do we get to a critical mass of people when we are starting from essentially 0?

I think it takes time.
The vast majority of those are probably re-tries.
I am from Eastern KY and have some additional things y'all may find interesting...

Louisa KY was home of the first Needle Dam (and locks) in the United States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Needle_dam

Torchlight KY produced "torchlight coal" which made its way from Eastern KY to major rivers all up and down the East coast. And a very small, "wide spot in the road" community, Aflex KY was once a model coal camp and had a lot of conveniences. See two PDFs in my drive for articles on each of these subjects from a trade publication called The Black Diamond https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1NDl85xvgmyiqVbq8dTe4...

Coal mining funded everything in Eastern KY and you can learn more about "coal camps" and the history at https://coalcampusa.com/eastky/eastky.htm

Even with AppleTV+ it contains ads for other content on other services that you have to pay for. You might be able to buy it through AppleTV and watch it there I guess. I don't know I've never tried.

The problem is that the whole "all doors close, light turns off, monsters spawn", or the lighter version of "door opens behind, monsters come from it", or sometimes "monsters teleport behind you" was the entirety of the gameplay. The first few times it made me jump, but then it just became boring. Pretty soon you could predict when it'd happen, too.

The other cheap trick was to make half of all maps so dark you need a flashlight, but make it so that you couldn't use a weapon while the flashlight was out. IIRC the very first Doom 3 mod was the one that fixed that, and it was called simply "duct tape".

Yes, the scammers could have pulled this scam any day of the year before the pandemic, and I’m sure they did, but that’s only one side of the equation.

Now consider how many companies were willing to hire fully remote workers before the pandemic, and how many were willing to hire fully remote workers during and after the pandemic, and that will answer why the scammers have been able to scale.
