Yes indeed.

Earthquakes move through the ground at the speed of sound. Once earthquake detectors on the ground near the epicenter detect it they send the information out at the speed of light, so even factoring in a little bit of delay for calculations, advance warning on the order of several seconds is possible depending on how far away the recipient is.
This was in 1963, so I don't think they had such automated systems like that. Cars didn't even have airbags at the time. And how are they supposed to dig up a seat at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean?
How much knowledge, wisdom, and value did Hunter Biden add to get $40k a month from Burisma? Goes for most board members really. They are all "quiet quitters".

If that's not "stealing" but regular people actually working multiple jobs with actual deliverables in a way you couldn't even tell is,

then "stealing" is good and I will help as many to do it as possible, especially from the HN poster companies coming out and countersignaling it so hard.

This is a great and valid question along with a helpful citation. Here are some counterpoints:

1) I would argue that that perspective misses a number of travel consumer apps like AirBnB.

2) I've bootstrapped this business and, while I do think that it could eventually morph into a regularly engaging social network or a tool for professional trip leaders (who would invalidate the limited usage point as power users), a healthy lifestyle business outcome would be reasonably ok (if not desirable) by me personally. I don't believe that I could have bootstrapped this company in 2012 (the date of that article) given the startup ecosystem and, frankly, this is a passion project after having previously worked at and founded SaaS fintech companies.

3) I do expect group travel to grow a ton over the next few years if people continue to work remotely. The evidence of mass social alienation is clear and folks have previously unheard of flexibility to travel.
It’s certainly not a requirement for the device to support WebUSB. NetMD recorders were created long before WebUSB, but can still be used from a browser app.

I have generally felt this way for decades. But the other day I tried some sugar-free Sees candy, and I have to say I didn't mind it at all. I would definitely consider buying some for myself sometime, and I hope they make more flavors (I tried the dark chocolate with walnuts).
I don't understand how you don't revolt against this to be honest.

And in terms of 'safe', didn't the extreme right just win big because the mainstream parties totally ignore the uptick in organized violent crime? At least that's what they said in the news here, perhaps it's not fully accurate.

I understand state agencies might want to see personal data, though I often don't agree. Having it available for anyone to see certainly would not make me feel safer.

But anyway I will never live in Sweden anyway. If the Swedish are happy with this, so be it. I just find it hard to understand.
> The person who has worked for your competitor for 15 years, and is considering making one single application to you will have to do more work.

I think you're gonna have to support that assumption a bit more - job apps (especially ones that can be done in 5 minutes) don't ask for a bunch of data that isn't generally at your fingertips, and your example would make the process even easier - 1 job in 15 years is easy to remember and faster to type than 8 jobs in the same timeframe.

Oh I completely agree with you. "All laws are enforced at gunpoint". Even if the current US government was somehow reformed into something I didn't find reprehensible evil and incompetent there would still be a necessary armed standoff between the government and the citizens.

That's highly dependent on location and time. And even if it's renewable, it isn't necessarily cheap, and the people in this article are mostly motivated by high energy prices, not renewability.
welcome to the new dystopia, it just like the old dystopia but with bots
The placement of Escape at the top left corner seems to engage the weak pinky finger, but reflecting on how I actually hit Escape (on a run of the mill keyboard layout), my muscle memory moves my left hand far enough to bash Escape with my middle and/or index finger. Trying to press it with my pinky feels super awkward; even ring finger feels better.

That said, I'd love a chance to try out the Kinesis 360 and see if loading the thumbs is the comfort boost I didn't know I needed.
AI innovation cannot be stopped. But the assumption that we just have to hand over all the world's wealth to whoever controls the AI is far from a given. In a world where human labor accounts for a vanishingly small portion of what it takes to support an individual, why should we structure the economy around pretending that 100% employment is still necessary, or even desirable?

Capitalism gets uglier and uglier the more the supply of human labor outmatches the demand. In a world run by machines, it would be very hard to argue that Capitalism's value out weighs its cost.

ME gets a lot of well-deserved hate. And a lot of work goes into disabling it. But I am surprised that none of the people working on such projects ever looked at the very peculiar ME payloads that intel chromebooks carry for hints on how to do it better...
Right, it was secured(from a foreclosure auction). My collection is fairly modest, and getting more and more dated every day, so it was a bit of a curveball to run into something with not the usual BIOS. I think i sent it to GoodWill.
TypeScript is better as a glue language than Python IMO.

Do you get a lot of scam calls? In the US this is a problem, I think most of the calls just use telephony software to automate and brute force every possible number. They spoof the originating phone number but they 99.9% likelihood are coming from another country with call centers like India or the Philippines.

If you can access every Swedish citizen's data, this could be attractive for scammers especially if you want to target elderly people. What about automated calls in general and spam?
Three reasons for this:

1. Difficult/lengthy application processes can filter for intent

2. Structured data (obtained during sign-up) is useful for recruitment platforms

3. Some ATS's are just bad

Point 1. might be difficult for SWEs to understand, but in lower leverage roles (e.g. non-grad) you sometimes have a 100+ applicants for a single role, so any filter helps a lot with the recruitment process.
In a very real sense, human beings themselves are bot-like, from a scientific perspective anyways.
What reminds me of computer systems is how the spoilers partly compensated for the opposite role, the computer modes (direct vs. assisted) lead to different behaviors, the test display (green == good?) was mostly self-referential and did not indicate what they thought it should, etc.

In short, the mental model required to understand the plane and its indicia of state was way too complex. These guys literally had to read technical manuals and follow (run-book) procedures step-by-step while the plane was cavorting.

Dynamic stability is the tendency of a system to restore stability, given external forces. There should be a term for dynamic-breaking stability, the ability to restore stability when broken, while also maintaining dynamic and static stability.

This is probably the only real benefit of devops: designing systems on the assumption people will need to intervene to fix them during moments of highest demand.
> If you plan on paying the minimum though, you definitely lose at 7% vs 3%.

I do not agree with this, because the lower downpayment needed for lower purchase price means more of your money can be invested.

The option is not pay a low price for home and get 3% mortgage. The option is pay a high price for home (and high downpayment) and get 3%, or pay a lower price for the house, and get 7%, and I would bet you can then refinance this 7% to something lower in the coming years.
Why exactly isn't there a setting or jumper to just disable this?

I don't really see a business reason for Intel to make this hard to do...

They could totally have made the machine reset if the ME couldn't be initialized. But they didn't.
In my experience, these laptops have some kind of Windows license embedded into their motherboard, so you can freely reinstall Windows from scratch.

So there's no cost-advantage to using Linux, and Windows furthermore just has better sleep behavior + GPU integration than Linux. If I need Linux, I either spin up a VM somewhere for me to VPN / SSH into, or use VMs inside of the laptop, or even use Ubuntu on Windows (which is "good enough" for many commmand-line tasks in my experience. Ex: Shift-right click to open the advanced commands for a directory, select "Open in Ubuntu Terminal" and go from there).
If that’s what happens, everyone is fully informed, and they mind the NDA? Sure. That’s pretty much the definition of an (actual) software engineering contractor for instance.

That’s pretty much never what happens though if someone does it when applying for a full time salary position, and line managers know it, which is why you see people get worked up about it. People doing it try to convince themselves it’s not a scam, but it almost always is.

The folks doing this on boards, despite any hate and derision they are getting here, are often exceptionally talented, educated, and have a long list of references where they have been doing it before successfully. They were voted in with full visibility to their other board memberships, and while being open about it and any potential conflicts of interest. They’re just not software engineers. I have yet to meet one that didn’t work their asses off either, just not in the way you might recognize.

There can be (and is, of course) nepotism, cronyism, etc. that happens, same as anywhere, and the shareholders who vote that in get what they deserve as well in my experience. Sometimes it’s also as simple as ‘x owns this company, and wants y to takeover when they’re gone, so y sits on the board.’. Rare in public or widely held companies though.

Ownership has it’s privileges, and it’s costs after all.
Well I remember getting completely stuck at one part and the cause was my samsung SSD's funny behavior in the "locked" state.

I had to set some kind of kernel flag or something (sorry, it's been years) to get it to ignore the drive until I unlocked it, as there was some kind of tight-loop where it would just keep trying to connect infinitely and not progress/fail/timeout.

I've been meaning to get back into linux again but it's going to be on a pristine/new machine.

Please don't. I mean, be aware of them, but be careful how much you invest your time in them. New technologies can soon become so embarrassing you miss them off your CV (I have). Put in effort a little behind the curve.
> Sphinx is basically `grep` for docs. I don't really need that, that's what `App site:textual.textualize.io` is for in DDG/Google

Let's do a study and compare Rich and Textual, which is based on Rich.

Here's a Textual class: https://textual.textualize.io/reference/events/#textual.even.... I need to find what is MessageTarget, so after some futile ctrl-f'ing I copy-paste it into search field. Suggestions show barely related results, like a code listing and another unit that references MessageTarget. Hitting Enter just drops me not onto a search results page but onto a barely related page that does not document MessageTarget at all.

Then I want to find out what Point is. I just go to Google for this. It shows me Geometry page, which seems related... Except it lands me at the top and do you know how many times "point" (and "pointer", "pointing", etc) are used on the page? Many times, which is why Google thinks it's probably the most related to Point. After a minute of ctrl-f'ing I find no docs for Point.

Note that at this point I don't even know whether either MessageTarget or Point is documented at all. If they aren't, then what a great use of my time!

Of course search engine doesn't have the slightest idea about what I need, it merely matches entered words. As you can see, search is the true grep for documentation that you are describing: dumb and barely useful by itself.

Here's a Rich class: https://rich.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/console.html.... they didn't even describe each parameter, but if you want to find how to instantiate (and where to import from) a ConsoleDimensions it's one click away. Same for built-in types, thanks to Intersphinx (I guess when they stop relying on typing_extensions, Literal will be hyperlinked as well).

RST nudges you towards explicitly denoting relationships between different parts of your documentation, because its default behavior is to treat a single backtick as a semantic identifier that signifies a particular unit, not just a random snippet of text. Whenever you use a backtick, it will warn you if you reference a nonexistent unit. Unlike dumb search, it actually knows what relates to what.

If you think I diss the work creators put into the library--I don't, I'm just pointing out to you why cross-reference is useful, and I wrote my original comment about their decision of documentation builder since some of them are apparently on HN.
Attention isn't a currency (medium of exchange) but a product or commodity to be harvested and sold.
MTE rewards are designed to give partial ownership of the project to a contributor. So I'd say it's natural that such issues are opened by project owners.

But the bounty system you mention is interesting. This is already implementable in the current system (ie open an issue and commit to give $ to those who fix it), but you'd need to peek at the PR solving the issue and manually send $ to those who fixed it.

We can easily automate that.
> At that time no one knew why his aircraft had flamed out. We all supposed it had been some freak accident that sometimes happens with no explanation. One thing we knew for sure, it was not pilot error. This accident had to be some kind of mechanical malfunction, but what? Our squadron had a perfect safety record and was very disturbed because of the loss of an airplane the day before.

Today in peacetime if this happened, they might ground the fleet depending on the details and leadership risk climate. If it were pilot error, this would be less concerning, since the cause would be known, and not to cause future problems (other than training-related concerns like if others would make the same mistake) A rogue mechanical failure that causes a crash/bailout is very concerning!

Risk tolerance was probably higher back then.
> But what’s so horrible in today’s tech is that a lot of people working on things like 15-minute delivery and cryptocurrencies pretend that they’re solving fundamental problems, improving the world, and rescuing third world people from poverty. Both gig apps and crypto are very much guilty of such overblown rhetoric.

It's testament to how effective the right kind of propaganda can be on the right kind of person. In a lot of these cases it seems to be founded on someone following base motives (e.g. personal greed) adopting a false, ego-protective narrative to justify their actions to themselves. But then they're so forceful and vocal about that narrative, a lot of other people are duped through repetition into believing it too.
It sounds like people might be using “you should make money” as a compliment.
I feel similar with 5G. I don't know anyone who was actually demanding 5G speeds from their phone, or excited about it. Technically it's very cool, but I'm unsure it actually is enabling end users to do something they could not.

From my experience, I actually must disable 5G. The 4G network in my area actually works well enough in all circumstances. The 5G network is all-or-nothing. I either wind up with incredible speeds or completely unusable.
Well, OK, I suppose you could add something like 'BB(8000) is 6,' but once you go beyond ZFC, you're going beyond anything required for computation as we know it.
There are various areas where the wind blows quite a bit and bright, sunny days are not the norm. In those conditions, then maybe it makes total sense to install one of these systems instead of a typical solar rooftop installation.

I would even expect an example where 50% more energy was actually achieved to be set up in one of those areas. Since no example was given, it makes you wonder how extreme the conditions have to be for this new technology to make sense.
Pumped Hydro is great, but there are only a few places where its cost effective to implement. They are trying to put two in Southern Oregon [0] [1]. They have been looking at it for decades, and still need many more years to look at environmental costs, diverting existing water (especially since that area has been in a large drought for the last few years, and farmers in that basin have had wells running dry), etc.

Nothing technical is changing. It's just a change in the development process used by Oracle. A lot of this announcement will be opaque if you don't know the history of Sun, but suffice it to say that the core Java development process has a lot of oddness in it that exists to make Java more open and less controlled by Sun-then-Oracle, for example if you go look at their mailing lists you'll see they "vote" on whether their own new colleagues should be allowed to commit to the source tree. This is basically legacy stuff these days but if I understand correctly was written into various legal agreements.

Anyway, OpenJDK is its own project with its own processes and culture, GraalVM was historically from a totally separate part of Oracle and adopted its own processes and development culture. This announcement doesn't change what tech is available, it's more about re-organizing how development is done. It doesn't really affect Java developers much, except that maybe now more stuff will come out of the box with a 'regular' JDK. Currently to get Graal technology you need to use their own custom spin of the JDK.
> Then you need the wind to blow at a very specific angle of 10-15.

It misses the obvious improvement where the platform rotates. I guess this is necessary for their costs target, but I don't think anybody would build this on practice without it.

> $2,400/kW

Anyway, isn't solar cheaper than that nowadays? I think the entire framing of competing with it is flawed, this should be complementing solar to reduce battery costs.
> GCP - again, they had a chance to become what Azure is or bigger but just seemed rather uncommitted to it...

I think GCP would have bigger, but Azure is a different beast. Azure is based on Fortune500 sales. What GCP could have been is the de factor Serverless and Platform-as-a-Service for hobbyists, as App Engine was a pioneer in the space. App Engine actually preceded GCP. It could have subsumed the likes of Heroku, Twilio and various other APIs-as-a-service, and even logs / monitoring tools such as Datadog, which are billion dollar businesses in their own right.
Python does have this functionality, but it's hamstrung by the implementation.

Javascript is, for the most part, completely sandboxed and separate. Which means the JIT for Javascript is totally free to do neat things like move an object from one region of memory to another.

CPython, on the other hand, has to care about things like "was this object created in C? Is it pinned to that memory location? Does this method end up delegating to C?"

And you see that in the complexity it takes to introduce native methods in both. Moving and using data from JS to Webassembly is a PITA. Accessing data in a Python object from c ( and vice versa) is trivial.

That triviality is what gets in the way of JIT optimizations.
And? Do people who can't afford a fast connection not deserve to read quality content?

This is a problem as old as time. Over a decade ago I saw startups from Stanford trying to tackle this. This is not an expert perspective, but I believe the market is too small to really make it worth while. As alluded to, people in their 30s/40s lean into their family, children's activities etc.
> Chromecast - better than all the alternatives but they could have gone that extra distance to make a whole Google TV apparatus and didn't.

It was a super cool tech demo and then they just stopped working on it. I guess it depends on what you consider "Alternatives" but it doesn't hold a candle to the Apple TV, Fire TV, or even a Roku stick IMHO. A remote is key to any TV-based device and no, a phone is not a valid remote (at least as the "only" remote). Watching my friends rave about the Chromecast and watching them have to pull out their phones to pause/play/etc is just mind boggling to me.
In the README, can you add instructions on how to install / compile this app?
They are also in the UK too. It behoves the UK security service to find them and root them out.
well, as long as both of them are descendant of modula 2 :)

Apologies - I thought this was in 2009.
The point of making python faster is not just making the above nbody simulation faster but also to improve the performance of when python is used as glue code to other more efficient systems.

But, the language before has a bigger shift to making it faster due to the amount of resources it has now that are dedicated to making CPython faster similar to what happened with JavaScript. I hope CPython eventually is as fast as JavaScript.
The amount of effort that these groups have put into their "pig butchering" operations is impressive.

My experience with online dating and the catfishing that I received (is that even the correct verb?) ranged between poor and mediocre (if I drank as much alcohol as I did in my 30s, I suspect that I could have been scammed out of lots of money - I am a bit too cynical and analytical these days). What I see on videos about "pig butchering" is orders of magnitude more intense. What the article documents is frightening.
Are there any caveats to disabling the IME?

This side of computing can become daunting in the context of the direction that the world is heading. So many acronyms and backronyms lie beneath the chassis of our devices running commands and loops; looping and commanding and checksumming and checking sumthin’ out.

Checking what out and sending it where?
