I love this.

Another way to 3D-ize a 2D (sidescrolling, platform) game, if someone wants to take it as inspiration: rather than assume the (infinitely thin) 2D plane of the game to be 1 pixel thick, assume that everything in the 2D plane has infinite depth.

Because of perspective, this will look very different than 1 pixel stretched horizontally, which is what this game does. In fact, with a little shadowing and applying the object textures to the z-y axes of the object rather than the x-y axes, I expect many 2D games would actually be playable like this. I think the results would be bizarre, but extremely fun for fans of the game.
Last I checked you can’t send an iMessage from a windows browser only read messages you had personally uploaded to iCloud.

Presumably they run security tests on 3rd party Mac browsers, it’s a major security concern.
Most people who try to start their own company, let alone a software company, fail.

Anyone else have insights to share? What would you do to learn more about an IP addr, URL, etc.? Thank you.
I was thinking more in terms of ordinary capacitors than supercapacitors because the former are vastly superior in terms of power density. However, ordinary caps are so poor in energy density that it just might matter, even for a very short duration energy dump application.

IOW I'm not sure there's enough volume in a dragster to meaningfully power it with ordinary caps. But if there is, it would be a very quick car.

I had a Pixel A-series phone last year. I was ambivalent at first, but was quickly surprised at how much easier it was to use. It also felt less intrusive and gave me more ability to control notifications.

This is coming from someone who hates Google products.

This year, I decided to go back to an iPhone. This has been my experience so far:

- When you disable notifications for an app, expect to be asked inside the app itself to enable notifications. Every. Single. Time.

- Expect some apps to hijack control. Spotify is the worst offender. I plug my phone into the car, will be in the middle of setting my course in Apple Maps, then get rudely interrupted as Spotify forces itself into the foreground after connecting.

- In general, everything takes multiple taps to complete in iOS. It's just such a time suck to have to tap tap tap tap away at something that should be just one or two taps, at most.

- Inability to customize apps. I use a third-party app to browse Reddit. The only way I can open Reddit links from the browser is to hold-tap, share, select 3rd party app. Just more tap swipe tap swipe tap...

- The built-in mail and calendar apps are garbage

- Safari is garbage and can't be replaced with a true 3rd party browser

- A buggy Do Not Disturb functionality that will randomly leave itself on outside scheduled hours

The first two points could arguably be blamed on the third-party apps themselves. But I would counter-argue that it's Apple's responsibility to punish companies that actively diminish the user experience by finding ways to skirt around iOS settings. If I turn off notifications, it should mean that the first time I'm asked. An app should not beg me over and over and over again to turn them on. I said no, don't ask again.

Apps should not be allowed to hijack control, either.

If Apple isn't going to focus on improving the user experience, and if they're going to start down the road of advertising, I guess I wonder what delineates them from anyone else in the mobile space. Now they're just a buggy, expensive interruption machine.

Ironically, I had more control over my Pixel (with stock Android) and the way it behaved than I've ever had with the iPhone.
Do you think there would be less bullying in a world without different coloured bubbles?

If the Apple's own messages were the same color as SMS or other avenues and Apple made a best faith effort to make sure messages worked, then there would be one less avenue of bullying.

Do you think the bubbles cause bullying?

Yep. Its status and a lot of bullying comes from the world reaffirming your status over others.

I'd imagine the bubbles are just an excuse, which would immediately be replaced with something else in their absence.

Maybe, but it wouldn't be Apple's fault.
My next smartphone is gonna be an iPhone as well. Android is becoming ever more locked down, hardware attestation is already a thing and there's really no reason for apps to not require it. What's the point of putting up with Android's imperfections and Google's bullshit if my rooted and customized phone can't run the apps I need because I "tampered" with it? Might as well get an iPhone.
Depending on which source you look at, steel production accounts for 8% - 11% of global CO2 emissions. According to Gate's 2021 book, 'getting around' (planes, trucks, cargo ships) accounts for 16% of CO2 emissions. So steel production is definitely a significant contributor.
I believe enterprises choose those either because:

(A) they've already bought into Office 365, so Teams being free to them makes it a no-brainer

or (B) Zoom was the first big name during Covid, so companies that bought into it don't consider changing due to the friction that would cause.

Pretty much every company I've interacted with over interviews and meetings who does use Google Workspace ends up using Meet as well, for the same reason enterprises using O365 as their user directory choose Teams (reason A above).

Show HN: Lab.computer, teach any software system on Linux to students online
We have been hard at work at Lab.computer to enable instructors teach any software systems online. You can teach languages, libraries, software etc. Anything you can install on linux can be taught on Lab.computer (except desktop GUI driver applications). It can scale easily to any number of students. It uses notebooks and a teaching layer built on top to create, distribute and autograde assignments.

The video above explains the product usage in four easy steps.

It would be great to hear some feedback and potential applications from the HN community.

Here is the more elaborate usage docs: https://lab.computer/docs/
Same here, my first thought was that it looks like a prison visitation.

It's an example of the general problem, it would be better if Intel (and some "competitors" to keep prices low) could always perfectly adapt to new technologies etc, and retrain people.

When they can't it's good companies come and go, or Kodak would still be blocking digital cameras (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-kodak-bankruptcy-idUSTRE8...) but the price we pay is things like wasted effort on re-implementing everything that didn't need to change at the new place, good people can't always move to it as you mention, etc.

Different countries at different times adopt different positions on the scale between inefficient (?) state-linked monopolies with jobs for life and letting the market do its thing. I'm not sure what factor means that sometimes we end up with Samsung and other times British Leyland.

That itself is an example of capitalism as the least worst option... similarly how much effort goes into trading currencies or commodities or whatever just so people get a fair price and aren't screwed over by whoever is the only person selling at the moment they need something. But we're self-interested, biased, and this is the workaround (or the system that emerges from our nature - self-interest is turned into the energy behind it all and "greed is good").
That was sarcasm, downvoter.
Compared to other integrated graphics?
Yep, for me, it is banking.

N26 (Europe) requires you to have a smartphone and a SIM card.
Obtaining a SIM card means that you need to identify yourself.

You can't just have a smartphone.
The OS needs to be unrooted and also mainstream (iOS/Android).

This really sucks.

Furthermore, Google and Discord lock your accounts, if you don't provide a phone number.

The alternative might be to use an Android/iOS just for banking.
Another Android/iOS for services such as Google (Play store).

And a Librem or any other open source phone as your daily driver.
Or, just live with a "dumb phone" or no additional phone.
I am not sure about the SIM card.
Is it even possible within the EU to buy one without identification?

That's how collective bargaining works: you only get what your union bargains for.

Anything else? Too bad.

Sure. Nobody disputes Google’s tech chops. It’s the business side that’s been perennially problematic. That applies to Starlight as much as it does to Meet.

Minor annoyance? Android is becoming just as much of a locked down walled garden as iOS. Hardware remote attestation is already here and it threatens to deny access to apps to all rooted phones.

If I must be in one of these little walled gardens, I'm choosing the better kept one. It sure as hell isn't Google's.

BEV used to have around 80kg of copper [1], nowadays, manufacturers are moving towards 800V architecture attempting to cut the weight in half.

> Courts and jurors are completely fine with finding that the behavior of nutjob B (and C and D and E and F) that are predictable from the defamation are part of the damages associated with the defamation.

Do you have any actual cases where that was the ruling?
They didn't refuse to implement RCS; Android doesn't provide APIs for RCS.
Yes, that was well established --- as it has to be in any defamation case, lest the case be dismissed. Moreover, it doesn't much matter, because he deliberately defaulted the trial itself, so the only question for the jury was damages. If you haven't followed this case at all, it's pretty easy to quickly Google the background, and you'll immediately fine that "defamation in this case doesn't make much sense" is probably not a coherent thing to say about the Jones case.

> Defamation/slander damages, past and future: $60 million

That's not much of a breakdown, and if anything it seems to go against the idea that these dollar amounts aren't punitive. Are we supposed to assume that that particular plaintiff would have been $60 million richer if Jones hadn't had said what he said? Ridiculous.

The emotional distress damages are more subjective, of course, but I still don't see the amounts as any less punitive at this point.
I'll add it to my calendar to let you know if you're correct :)
In the US usually the employee usually has a choice of several funds in their 401 (k) retirement account, including international funds.

It seems the person upthread owns a target date fund and this means they probably are diversified. Their post doesn't make a lick of sense.
A pragmatist might say, "Piracy can only be contextualized and not objectively analyzed".

It's a completely different set of arguments from someone like us who can object on aesthetic and philosophical grounds, vs. a poor kid from Brazil who just wants some cultural exposure.
> No one is forcing anyone to give up their firearms, why does this keep being argued?

You're straying rather close to intellectual dishonesty here. I think you're well aware there are some people in the USA who very much do want to force people to give up their firearms. Furthermore, similar groups have largely succeeded in other countries. That's why it keeps getting argued.

> It's even more comical when firearm manufactures record their most profitable years when Dem's control the white house.

I don't get the joke. What's funny about a perceived future shortage pushing demand forward in time? We saw the same dynamic with toilet paper in 2020. I suppose it's kind of funny that the perception of a shortage then creates a shortage, but somehow I don't think that's what you meant.
Yes, there is usually a floor value. Most states enumerate some types and amounts of property, and some amounts of income, that are exempt from civil judgment collection. It's the same thing for bankruptcy: there are exemptions that allow you to keep a certain amount.

A bankruptcy discharge does usually ensure a clean slate for new ventures. However, some types of debt are "nondischargeable" and can survive a bankruptcy. That includes "intentional torts" like these instances of defamation. So, it's likely that these plaintiffs/creditors will be able to go after his new ventures.
Also, human eyes aren't passive sensors like cameras. We move them (consciously and unconsciously) to gather more info as we need it.

> It seems that they'll have 16 bit floats encoded in shorts (16 bit integers). This seems like it could be a huge footgun.

I agree, fortunately the upcoming Primitive Classes [1] will make it possible to create a float16 type by wrapping a short without any overhead, thus acting essentially as a type safe alias.

It's also likely that the JDK will come with an ad'hoc type as the Vector API seems to currently be considering adding a HalfFloat class [2] so that you can leverage float16 directly with SIMD logic which is obviously one of the major benefits. See JDK-8290204 [3] for more details about it.

I had the same thought--tonari seems to be doing fantastic work in this space. I hope this proves a market for them and accelerates interest.
Lifelong US citizen here - I've barely heard anyone mention it in person my whole life. If it wasn't for reading about it in discussions like this, I would probably never even think about it. iMessage, social media DMs, and regular SMS seem to be the most common in my experience. Signal/Telegram are pretty much only used here by tech people and/or people discussing not-so-wholesome things and I'm always surprised to see people on HN talk about moving their whole family to one of these apps or using them more casually in general.
> It’s blaming the workers. Or getting them to delude themselves. This is a political position

Quite the opposite. It is about enabling workers.

From the research article:

“The cognitive appraisal theory of stress argues that events are stressful when people appraise that they lack the capacity to cope with them. Self-affirmation therefore emphases that employees can cope by affirming one’s self-worth and their ability to confront change at work (Dunning, 2005; Schmeichel & Vohs, 2009; Sherman & Cohen, 2006)”
That is revenue based, and not based who makes the chips. In the chart Nvidia, Broadcom and Qualcomm are all fabless (outsourced production) and their chips are made by TSMC, Samsung, or other foundries.

By wafers produced (including memory), TSMC is 2nd and Intel is 6th. TSMC is 2x the 5th placed company on the table, so Intel is even smaller than that.

I am on an Android bandwagon since first Samsung Galaxy. The sheer joy of being in a total control of my hardware and software is still here. I am installing some apps directly from vendors and thus avoiding big companies censorship. My current phone is more than four years old for now and I am thinking about buying a new one only because the battery is slightly degraded. This is just a phone, a tool, used mostly for communication (including right now).
What motivated the name choice?
Reading old IBM documentation for System/360 and 370, from the 70s and 80s, I thought it was interesting that what we today would probably call "business logic", back then IBM apparently used to call "problem code" or "problem program".

I don't know if this is coincidence, or if that term was more widespread at the time.

It's clearly meant to mean "the code that solves the actual problem", but it still sounds a bit unfortunate.
Samsung has unlockable bootloader and good LineageOS support. Unheard of with these $20 phones. And even without flashing, I'd still rather be tracked by Samsung than whatever they put into these $20 ones.

Much appreciated. I should have spelled this out more directly in my original comment, but this is what I meant about some kinds of harm being more obvious. Defamation per se exists largely to handle cases where harm occurred but it’s tough to point to a specific instance or assign it an easy dollar figure.
The point is that they're all flagged dead, not that this story didn't attract a bunch of new randos to post flagged comments. Anybody can make an account here to post nonsense with practically no effort at all; it's an open-access site.
I'm not sure what you mean by "backpropping through that model so as to decrease the predicted popularity". During training, we train a model to literally reproduce famous chunks of music exactly as they are in the training set. We can also learn to predict popularity at the same time, but we can't backpropagate anything that will reduce popularity, because this would directly contradict the main loss objective of exact reproduction.

Having said that, I think the idea of predicting popularity is good - we can use it for filtering already generated chunks during post-training evaluation phase.

I don't think the other two methods you suggest would help here, we want to generate while conditioning on famous pieces, and we don't want to increase temperature if we want to generate conservative, but still high quality pieces.

It's true that we (humans) are less sensitive to plagiarism in the text output, but even for LLMs it is a problem when it tries to generate something highly creative, such as poetry. I personally noticed multiple times a particular beautiful poetry phrases generated by GPT-2 only to google it and find out they were copied verbatim from a human poem.
Where have they done so in this case? As far as I can tell, the plaintiffs didn't even allege damages from harassment in this case. They alleged damages from emotional distress due to the defamation.

How it works:
First time you run nabaz:

1. Collects code coverage for every tests that runs,
seperatly.

2. Saves code coverage in local sqlite db, along with
commit ID as key.

Second to n runs later:

1. Traverse git tree and queries db via commit ID -> per test code coverage

2.a git diff between new code (code change) and the code coverage from the old commit, test case by test case.

2.b. If an intersection between new code and old code coverage is found, test is rerun. else, it will be skipped.

That's an extremely Jones-adjacent opinion to have.
Complexity is positively correlated with bugs. Many studies have shown that.

GHC is complex, perhaps too complex. I don't track GHC closely but it seems GHC does seem to suffer from more than a fair share of embarrassing compilation bugs. This feeling is derived anecdotally so I may be wrong. Happy to be corrected.

Someone more conversant with GHC will have to chime in and agree/disagree. Don't let your love of Haskell get in the way of providing an objective opinion :-)
