real-time multiplayer games like shooters and MOBAs were just impossible to play competitively

I understand that everyone has different tolerances, but I can’t stand even slightest lags (ms range), irregularities and visual bugs in games. Had to fight my way through hardware settings on a real PC at last update, now it’s smooth and immersive.

I don’t play multiplayer games at all, but have a hard time understanding why someone would think “ah, I’m playing single player anyway, so enormous input lags are okay”. How do you play parrying (witcher, souls), shooting 2+ targets quickly (hitman, ghost recon), tight racing with such delays?
It's a reference to the fact that Liz truss wears a necklace that's very similar to a day collar, typically worn by submissives.

A necklace with an o on the front is a signal to some folks.
NASDAQ is UP 20 or so % from just before the pandemic. That’s how inflated things got in the last two years. The person you’re responding to is right on the money.
Mostly the fact you can check their validity without going to the database.

If you have one you can keep using it without extra network roundtrips as long as it doesn’t expire.

Only the validity of refresh tokens (for generating new access tokens) is checked.
Are you trying to imply that those are straightforwardly causally related?
Sounds great! Thanks.

> I can't recall any Apple service that has been shut down without an alternative. They've certainly cancelled hardware programs, but that doesn't break your existing hardware. And they give plenty of warning for iOs phase outs. They pissed some people off by dropping support for old apps, but only after most of the big ones had been converted.

Not sure if it counts, but dropping 32-bit support on macOS may be counted.

I recall the rise of millions of small gas sit down scooters in Taiwan. Small cars, 3 wheel tuk-tuks as well. As the 80's progressed there were large numbers of young men with knee troubles, crutches, canes etc. This was cause by the knees sticking out and getting smashed in a collision. Young girls usually rode behind the driver in side-saddle mode, so were less represented in the accidents.
Now these battery scooters will start to show up with their characteristic injuries. I am not quite sure how they will manifest. You ride at 25 MPH, scooter hits a curb = 0 MPH and you must now start running at 25 MPH - this will not end well. They have already made a matk in the stats.

Can any devs at Microsoft explain/speculate how this happened? Are these bundled apps simply unmaintained?

Because it seems like this is a major and obvious flaw that is relatively easy to fix in a lot of different ways… yet it shipped.

It’s easy to just say that Microsft’s developers are incompetent/dumb/etc but this is low hanging fruit, and makes me think the problem is something else.

And even if you were aware you wouldn’t care. It’s a neat trick, I like it.
The UK has had some of the most banal, insiped leadership for awhile now. It seems to me that this is both a tragic and entirely predictable outcome that's ultimately going to hurt everyday folks the most.
What sort of virtual machine? Any reason a free/cheap VPS from any number of cloud providers wouldn't do?
You didn't say casualties, you said deaths, which is the number the Ukrainian government gives too.

>If there’s so few casualties of the initial invading force it makes absolutely no sense for putin to start mobilisation, which he did.

Russian army doctrine is different to US army doctrine. Russia always had a conscription heavy army and needs vastly more manpower than the US to fight a war. I imagine they were expecting the Ukrainian army to collapse like the army in Georgia did in 2008 which is why they weren't prepared for an actual fight.

This is the first real war between advanced economies since Desert Storm. It is a painful lesson that second rate powers can again standup to first rate powers on the ground since military tech now costs pennies on the million.

I _really_ hope the West is taking notes because if we're not than we're in for a surprise just as unpleasant as the one the Russians are getting.

These goddamn TVs are coming with cameras and microphones now. It's fucked up. I don't even want the manufacturer having access to this. The idea that some malware could install itself in the TV due to internet connection and security holes and have invisible access to these sensors is seriously frightening.

If there are no sensors on the TV, malicious actors can always use it to mine Monero at my expense.
> to minimize this it might be possible for privileged applications to disable os thread context switching for the carrier threads as long as there are active virtual threads. that way, the context switching and scheduling overhead is reduced from "os vs. os+virt" to "os vs. virt". i.e. as soon as there are active virtual threads the carrier thread is excluded for os scheduler until there aren't any active virtual threads anymore (or, alternatively, the virtual thread pool is empty).

> is this a thing? does this make sense? would it be worth it? do operating systems even support "manual" (i.e. by the app) thread scheduling hints? or are the carrier threads only rarely taken out of schedule because they're not really put to sleep as long as there are active virtual threads anyway, making this a non-issue?

It's normally recommended to run with as many "physical" threads as you have CPU cores, and then the OS scheduler can generally just do the right thing (assuming nothing else is running on the machine) - you don't need to do any context switches if you have as many processors as there are OS threads wanting to run. Most OSes do offer a way to "pin" a thread to a processor (at varying levels of hint/requirement) but I've only seen them used when doing fairly extreme performance tuning.

You're correct that using waste methane to generate electricity for bitcoin mining is small, but its growing, which is good news. And this is significant for the climate as methane gas has a /far/ larger warming effect than CO2.

According to the IEA (International Energy Agency), acriculture, fossil fuels, and waste are the top three human sources of methane emissions (the too source, wetlands, is natural). Bitcoin mining companies have business models than can significantly mitigate the fossil fuels and landfills(waste) sources of human methane emissions. https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/sources-of-me...
> while the Fed and ECB do slip up sometime (keeping policies too long or not reacting fast enough).

The ECB is perpetually paralyzed by needing to acquiesce to the demand of born financially solid, and financially shaky members (of which there are a lot).

It is not incompetence but inability that binds the ECB.
Well, what's so scary about this exactly? That's exactly what people do today on Tiktok, modulo the part where AI generates the content.
So Tech may be in deep doo-doo. Everyone seems to be putting on the brakes or keeping a close eye on the situation. I'm thinking this is going to resemble the dot com bust, which was terrible.

But let me give you some hope. I was fresh out of school. I didn't understand how things worked, thought the dot com bust was just a temporary blip, and left a full-time job at a prestigious company for grad school. In retrospect, that was pretty nutty. But I turned out okay.

I think the environment will be challenging for everyone - fresh out of school and senior devs.

I don't know, that seems subjective. Marketing is part of every successful product so "hyping" is a key part of a product's lifecycle. Sometimes products don't catch on and they have to be killed. It's not any different than the plethora of startups that promise to revolutionize industries and fail to make a single buck. Supporting a zombie product isn't noble in my opinion. Those resources could go to trying something else when it's clear that there won't be any market penetration.

The "tax cuts for the rich" aspect of the mini budget was miniscule (and possibly not even a net loss of tax revenue) compared to the absolutely massive borrowing-funded subsidy of fuel costs this year, on top of the unbelievably colossal spending on the lockdown, all coming at the end of decades of generally living beyond our means. The only mistake the this new Government made was to drop the facade that we were ever good for the money.

Searching for less harmful sources of energy can be done at the same time as pointing out frivolous uses of energy.

"Half of the russia thinks that they are at full fledge war with US, EU and rest of west."

Are you sure about those numbers? It sounds a bit like a strawman argument to me.
Say you steal the token, what are you going to do with it? You could argue that you can now iterate all the tokens you steal, decode all of them, and find the ones with admin permissions. But if you have a frontend that wishes to know user permissions/access, you already have an endpoint for that too, so they can call that with all the tokens instead.

The thing is that you cannot change the payload of the token without invalidating it, so you couldn’t set the role to admin and then still have the server accept it.
Why do they need to borrow to do that? Surely they could loan to do that?
Sure they were. Really, really slow internet.

[edit] Unless you meant the fact literally nobody used it and all their revenue came from selling base stations, in which case you're right, they never really did operate an ISP.

They operated a Potemkin ISP.
Odds are someone who writes an app is doing it in a sterile environment, where there are only going to be a handful of test files in any folders.

If they do try it on their own system, they'll likely discount any performance hits as due to their own hording of files, and not consider the user likely to have just as many, if not more files. Thus, its not likely the programmer will notice it.

It's only if some exogenous event causes a programmer to consider run-time performance that it will be measured, and then optimized.
Not a Microsoftie but it's probably going through various emulation layers.

>According to? That's an ethical stance one can take, but it isn't how our laws work.

What law? Please be specific here as I'm not clear what you're getting at.

If you're referring the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA)[0], it states:

The law prohibits accessing a computer without authorization, or
in excess of authorization.

WRT NSA servers, accessing classified information (assuming you don't have clearance and/or a need for that information) would violate the CFAA and possibly the Espionage Act[1].

However, in this particular case, an end user is accessing data (with appropriate credentials that have access to no more and no less than the data they are authorized to access) for which they have appropriate authorization. As such, it can't be a violation of the CFAA. So, where's the "crime" here?

I'm not sure how you're getting from point A to point B here. If you could help me out, I'd appreciate it.

Classic martyr. You're making it sound like Gab is "shunned by the people" because it's uncensored. In reality it's an issue of content. The people just aren't interested in Gab's content. And that will never change because that shit content also happens to be the reason for Gab's existence.

Gab created a shit platform for shit people to post shit content and you're blaming everyone else for its failure.

In contrast, Reddit was plenty successful long before they started censoring to appease their corpo-overlords. The difference was that A) shit wasn't the only content available and B) average users weren't automatically subjected to the shit content that they were hosting.
Can you explain more explicitly what you mean by that?
I mean, I guess there are various degrees of hostility. When Apple ported their iOS bootloader to the new Macs, they purposefully added the ability to boot third-party operating systems.

They just didn't tell anyone how to actually build a third-party operating system.
started building out their fiber infrastructure massively, dumping whatever loads of cash were required, and they could easily have eaten up huge chunks of metro and suburban areas in America and might even be one of the leading ISPs in the nation.

Haha, imagine them shutting it down eventually.
I don't think there is a consensus. Actually I've never heard anyone cite any specific harm at all. There is certainly an appeal to social norms and probably some ingrained racism: "we wear clothes unlike those primitive savages," but real benefit to shielding kids from nudity - what's the hypothesis to test against?
And of the past. In WWI the germans had a new secret weapon that would make them invincible, called amphetamines.

They did not work as well as initially hoped.
Well I meant interviews don’t perfectly evaluate competency, there's certainly a correlation. Oh, and "read" the HN Guidelines.

There are no incentives for bottom of the barrel programmers to write efficient and effective code, particularly when hardware in general have gotten so powerful and their own dev machines are probably overpowered for purpose.
And yet Linus used a MacBook Air as his daily driver for many many years.

I have an $80 monitor and it doesn’t seem trustworthy. It has very similar low values 90% of the time, barely ever correlated with forecast AQI I get online. And even when it was wildfire season and I walked out in the smoke (150 AQI) with it the values only bounced around a bit but still were <50 AQI 80% of the time and still <100 AQI the remaining time.

Yup. Ethereum is now ruled by the riches people in that network. Sounds an awful lot like legacy financial networks that are also run by the rich.

The model clearly has an understanding of the 3D structure of objects. If it didn't, using it to generate 3D models wouldn't work. The knowledge that the leg bone is connected to the knee bone, etc, isn't coming from NeRF, it's all in the "2D" model. Sure, maybe you could distill that knowledge into a different model architecture that is somehow natively 3D in order to improve the efficiency of sampling. But that's more or less just an optimization. What's interesting is the fact that the knowledge is in there already, learned without 3D input data.

Humans don't get natively 3D training data either. We don't have depth sensors or any other natively 3D senses. Our eyes only ever see 2D images and we learn 3D structure from that, so I guess these 2D image models are doing something analagous. Except they don't even have the benefit of stereo images!

I know, and I know it's bad in there, but knowing precisely how bad is not useful information. A week away and there's a film of dust on everything. Most places, the dust is human skin, but not here.

As far as I understand, weakening the USD for the benefit of parties foreign is not part of the federal reserve's mandate. Maybe it should be but it isn't. I'm also not sure how continuing with inflationary policy could strengthen the USD. Surely any delay in raising rates should weaken it relatively speaking?

Also, it is natural for the USD to appreciate given the energy crisis and knock on effects from that, isn't it?
Frappucinos are frivolous uses of energy. Where ought one draw the line?
I don't dispute that but this particular conversation was about who creates more and who shutters more and I don't think Microsoft is a good counterexample to Google. It has created some things, it has shuttered some things, but mostly things have stayed the same, same as Google. Apple is probably the one that has created the most lasting things and continues to release new lines of products and services. Nearly everything that has launched has had lasting iterations (except the original HomePod which is a tragedy).
Where is that money comming from? If you look at their history ad raises its simple not possible for them to lose money on everything.

They raised a lot of money but that is not that much considering the mega projects of Starlink and Starship. The idea that they could also lose money on everything else just doesnt add up.

Also investors have insight into financials, what sane investors would give them money for Starship if the were losing money on Flacon flights.
> Such as?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_without_arme...

Mostly the European microstates and several Caribbean and Pacific islands, but if you don't count a gendarmerie as armed forces, you could include Costa Rica and Panama--two not-tiny countries--in the list. (If you do count them, the largest is the Solomon Islands).

> And for a further question, would they have remained stable if other countries had not invested in their military to the point that the world in general remained peaceful?

That this question is being asked is I think a concession of the underlying point: fiat currencies aren't maintained by military investment, not in the same way that Bitcon is maintained by hashing power.

Furthermore, it's not at all clear that the decrease in active conflicts over the past century or so is really due to military investment. One can argue that the establishment of international communities such as the EU, or the UN charter forswearing territorial changes via war has had as much, or more, of an impact on reducing the outbreak of wars such as the War of the Pacific as American military might did.
