"Imminent"? sounds like this is an announcement of announcement. For those, we can wait until the actual announcement is available and then apply beta reduction.

In the meantime, the post about the information that came out a few days ago was discussed here:

If the company is selling just the chip, it's in their best interests to hold the die size down as much as possible because doing so directly effects their profit margin.

If the company is selling the whole device, including the chip, they can afford to throw more transistors and die area at performance with a much more minimal impact on their bottom line.
I once looked at apartments in Bayview and I feel like you're really underselling how bad it smells. If it were a vast open container of raw sewage, I would not be surprised.

I'm shocked humans are allowed to live there. Nothing that smells that bad could possibly be safe.

Also that whole area is a liquefaction zone, so when the earthquake happens, I'm sure it'll be a bio-hazard disaster.
This guy was just in the news proclaiming that NYC will be nuked and underwater within 20 years. He's a lunatic in my opinion. Well deserving of the nickname "Dr. Doom". The media loves him because he was right about one thing once, and so he has a shred of credibility, and he's great at generating ridiculous headlines. But he's not really worth paying attention to.
This product looks very cool but I think I’d rather just have a screen or two and continue to alt tab through my applications. Is that an option?
>Just reiterates how important it is to ensure that weapons of mass destruction are kept in the secure custody of competent authorities.

Looking at our national leaders (esp. in Russia), your idea of "competent authorities" is obviously completely insane. Competent authorities wouldn't have built these things in the first place, nor would they be waging wars of conquest.
> measly 400k

Here in NZ $140,000NZD would be a good wage for a software developer. That is about $80,000USD. $400k US is about $700,600NZD. That is a massive amount of money for one years work.

Edit: My sarcasm meter is broken. In reading other comments I seem to have missed the joke. Sorry.

Ask HN: Linux laptops with good battery life
Have you found a Linux laptop with a long battery life (8+ hours) and a decent screen? What model do you use?
Search can always be provided like it is for the web. Third party indexing servers that crawl the network. That's ok, even good maybe.
I'm most interested in how they handle it for the users. It says potential "nudes" are blurred and can be "reported" or viewed. Will it tell the sender they're sending something that's going to be blurred? (which on one hand would let them resolve a false positive but also maybe let them find an adversarial image).

Or simply that people who care more about their health are more likely to purchase extra virgin olive oil. Unsurprisingly, those people might have lower mortality. These kinds of studies are often useless. The authors try to control for some confounding factors, but reality is just too messy.
I had a Bitcoin fan in his 40s tell me IRL that BTC, not blockchain, mind you, is an improvement over the gene. Something about passing information between generations. I could not follow the argument. All this time, banks have been hoarding details about our deposits, withdrawals, balances, transfers, payment and purchase histories that could have been "inherited" like genetic information by our descendents. Even worse, banks could have been making the data public so "tech" companies can collect it for free. You just cannot make this stuff up.
At this point I'm primarily evaluating jobs based on their altruistic impact, but if I went back to trying to optimize for compensation I think I would be able to get a few companies bidding against each other at which point my history isn't really relevant. That's what I did when I rejoined Google in 2017.

I'm very lucky to be in this position, though!
A cardinal sin!

Apologies I finished that page JUST before posting, will fix.
That's a gripe I share, but I run into it so infrequently that it's not much of a bother. Most likely when browsing network shares and such, which I tend to use something like Transmit or Forklift for instead.
Yes, but it is less than half of the states(though I'm not sure what percent of the population are covered), and even then, many of the bans are phrased such that pay history questions are only banned before an offer is made, or it is voluntary but employees may not know their rights.

It is still legal to rescind or modify an offer after you discover salary history in most states with a "pay history" ban in place.

The range/output that display 0 or 100 but don't touch the ends of the slide rubs me in a very wrong way. Besides, nice style.
It's orthogonal because as the article clearly states, you can have wage fixing with or without sharing wage info. The agreement (ie collusion) and or competitive harm is the crux.
You can find it at https://github.com/happenslol/qwer . Be warned though, it's heavily lacking in documentation and polish, although all core features are working. I've just added a bit of info to the Readme, hit me up if you have any questions.
I think it's more because the app stores are the only option provided, so people who prefer privacy have no way to sideload.
There's an old book from about 1906 where the author goes through a bunch of old European cases of animals being tried in court for crimes. It's an interesting and bizarre read.

I agree.

There is risk in both the virus and the vaccine. And the vaccine is a statistically safer bet, although I’m sure specific biological/genetic factors can alter this calculation.
In principle yes, but that announcement was discussed elsewhere (see my comment downthread) and there doesn't seem to be any significant information yet, otherwise, so I think it makes sense to downweight the follow-ups until there's significant new information (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...).
As far as we are aware they have never spoken to AMD. They avoid every question in relation to AMD. I'm convinced they are just Intel fanboys over at framework now and have lost any desire to buy a laptop from them. Initially I was super excited. Dies off when they don't want to answer questions when they say 'ill answer any questions...'

Citation needed I feel - I’d wager the number of containerized deployments pales in comparison to the number of binaries scp’d into a production host.
/? subprocess isolation https://www.google.com/search?q=subprocess+isolation on a PC:

- TIL about teh Endokernel: "The Endokernel: Fast, Secure, and Programmable Subprocess Virtualization" (2021)
https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.03705#

> The Endokernel introduces a new virtual machine abstraction for representing subprocess authority, which is enforced by an efficient self-isolating monitor that maps the abstraction to system level objects (processes, threads, files, and signals). We show how the Endokernel can be used to develop specialized separation abstractions using an exokernel-like organization to provide virtual privilege rings, which we use to reorganize and secure NGINX. Our prototype, includes a new syscall monitor, the nexpoline, and explores the tradeoffs of implementing it with diverse mechanisms, including Intel Control Enhancement Technology. Overall, we believe sub-process isolation is a must and that the Endokernel exposes an essential set of abstractions for realizing this in a simple and feasible way.
> the power/information imbalance that is used to pay people less than they are worth

Candidates often pad their resumes with skills they don't have. They'll pad their salary history. They'll hide things like stretches in jail. They'll list degrees they don't have. All to get a higher salary. The employer often doesn't realize for months that the employee wasn't as represented, and way overpaid.

It goes both ways.

I know you likely don't believe me, but I've been employer and employee, at min wage and professional wages. If you ever become an employer, you'll find out real fast how little power you have over employees. Anecdotally, I know employees with million dollar salaries. Is it credible that if corporations really had all this power, they'd be paid that much?
This works poorly when you buy something like an SD card, store something you care about on it, and then try to read it back off the card later.

Is the verdict still out on magnesium supplements?

As much as Theranos has been discredited, there is still opportunity to perform near real-time serum measurements in novel ways which could have a huge impact on the safety of pharmaceutical consumption (even for recreational uses) in the forthcoming 20 years.

Although the current focus is diabetes, the possibilities are limitless.
> This. When my Mac has GPU problems, I don't complain to NVIDIA or AMD; I complain to Apple. Since Apple is the final integrator, it has the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that all parts work well together.

This is a significantly different situation than Framework's situation.

Apple controls the hardware and the operating system.

Framework only controls the hardware, not the software.

Let's look at a totally hypothetical example:

Let's say the Framework laptop ships with Ubuntu 22.04 running the 5.15 kernel, and the Framework folks test it carefully, it works great, all is well.
Ubuntu then decides to ship an over-the-air software update automatically to the 5.17 kernel, which has a driver bug causing the laptop to freeze every minute. Ubuntu does this without consulting Framework, Framework has no chance to test it.

Who's fault is the above? Is it Framework for not building their own operating system too, like apple did, and putting the software experience of their hardware in someone else's hands? Is it the linux kernel for breaking something? Is it ubuntu for shipping an update to a laptop the distro developers may not even own?
the main problem with massive data transfer from radio astronomy sites to other places is not throughput in fiber, but economically purchasing transport capacity from carrier-of-carrier ISPs to get it from the place where the radio telescopes are at, to various research labs and datacenters.

radio telescopes tend to be located in very remote places with very few dedicated dark fiber options.

from the perspective of somebody in the ISP business, go try to buy a 100GbE transport circuit from $random_radio_astronomy_telescope_site to a meet-me room/traffic exchange point at a major internet infrastructure site....

you're going to run into economic problems really quick.

Ask HN: What are you using to create API documentation in 2022?
I have a small indie software business, and an important part of my product is that it can be integrated by API.

Today, I'm using Stoplight to host my API docs (https://waitlist.stoplight.io/docs/waitlist-api-no-auth). I like Stoplight -- it allows me to write example calls that users can copy-paste, has schema definitions so it's easy to document REST, and well-designed features for documenting all the details (endpoints and their HTTP verbs, headers, HTTP responses, etc.).

However, Stoplight is expensive -- $99/mo.

I'm looking at alternatives, but I'm not finding anything good:

* Docusaurus is a good markdown static site generator, but is totally lacking for details: no ability to re-use schemas, create example calls, etc.

* Documentator is defunct.

* Readthedocs requires significant overhead in form of a Sphinx integration and self-rendering

* Readme.com has similarly expensive pricing to Stoplight and a worse UX (in my opinion)

What are you using? I'd love to be able to rely on a simple managed service that doesn't break the bank.
There will be the occasional free H+ ion but most of them will have paired off. Given a long enough time, there could be a small amount of damage done to the metal. There are ways to get around this by positively charging the vessel or using certain types of metals with a strong positive charge.

> Also, since you’re probably deploying containers to production, it’s useful to have a similar environment for local development so that you know what will actually happen in production.

This such a complete and utter lie and I'm surprised people in 2022 still believe it.

You do know what's happening when you run Docker on your Macbook, right? Right?
There's no shortage of space very far from where people live, sure. Do you really think that shipping vast amounts of trash across the country can be done that cheaply?

I agree with you there. I wonder how it works under the hood, especially those animated panels. I'm gonna go read the source code.

Lots of words to say you're smarter than everyone else and only your desired outcomes should be permitted for humanity.
You can observe it by counting the contractors in any company that has salary bands, or transparency, or any other similar system. Very few high performing employees are prepared to accept that their remuneration is being constrained to prevent the lower performing employees from getting jealous. They are strongly incentivised to either leave or become contractors, increasing their remuneration even more. Only the average performing and under performing employees readily accept such an arrangement, because they are either unaffected by it, or benefit from it. You don’t need to do a study to figure out that people avoid things that are detrimental to their own interests.
fine, but vulnerable. Windows 10 works on 2008 machine.
> They also mention window management and the (lack of) it on the Quest. Except no one (outside techies) knows what a windows manager is or has custom workflows. Instead, quest has screen management so you can have a virtual screen, and manager your own windows. I’m no Nostradamus but I doubt the future of technology rests in heavily customized window managers.

On the contrary. Using virtual screens is a paradigm that chains you to obsolete technology. Nice to interface with traditional computers but in a true VR computing interface free-floating application windows make a lot more sense than virtual screens with Windows inside them. It's just as much a stupid idea as the old Windows 32 Multiple Document Interface that office used to use (having windows within windows and causing frustration with multiple scrollbars etc)

They do this because it's something users know and because computer OSes are made with real displays in mind. But it doesn't take full advantage of what the technology has to offer. Once VR/AR productivity becomes a real thing, we will have to rethink this paradigm. Whether we call it a "Window Manager" or something more snazzy, the research has to happen and I'm really interested to see where Simula are taking this. Because they're the only ones really thinking outside the box so far.

It makes so much more sense to take a pdf document and put it somewhere in my workspace so I can glance at it, instead of having to take a whole virtual display there with perhaps other things in it or blank desktop space wasting my field of view. In a world where your entire environment (either virtual with VR or real with AR) can be overlayed with content, the concept of a "screen" is obsolete and only an artificial constraint and bother. In fact even the concept of a "Window" isn't a great fit. Why restrict yourself to 2D views in a 3D world? UI elements could actually stick out so you can reach out and touch them or the whole app could even take the shape of a 3D object. Of course apps will need to be rewritten but the same was necessary with smartphones. There's a ton of UI stuff like that to figure out.

Another comparison I can make is Windows CE. It was basically a desktop interface crammed into a smartphone. It was super awkward. Smartphones never really took off until a real UI rethink happened with the iPhone and Android. We need that here even more. So yes I think there'll be a lot of work done in this arena.
Glad we agree on something. The only use of overly broad and overly vague criticism of capitalism is for an aspiring dictator to motivate the proletariat to overthrow the status quo.
Looking at it, I’m not so much concerned with the spate of short jobs at the start. What does worry me is the consistent yearly quittings. If you get 1 year of work out of them it’s a miracle.

It’s absolutely possible they were all just terrible companies, but…

But publishing it here doesn’t make a difference, presumably the same information is on their CV.
>That doesn't mean that giving those people airing time was a good idea. Just because many people support something despicable, it doesn't mean that we should let them spread those ideas.

It sounds like you're fundamentally opposed to democratic societies then.
When people throw paper, beer cans with some beer left over and other bottles together, the paper becomes soiled and useless. Glass breaks during loading/unloading of the truck and can't be separated out anymore. So the problem is that you have to separate initially.
> For example, the possibility for its users to directly manage the algorithms to which their account will be subjected.

This does not make any sense. The problem with social media isn't just "algorithms", it's their entire designs. TikTok's swipe-based UI and powerful editor incentivizes short-form video content that builds off each other. That creates certain social behaviors unique to TikTok. Another example: Twitter's decision not to have a "dislike" buton has a huge effect on how tweets are boosted. You can't "manage" that no matter what decentralized protocol you come up with, because that's baked into the UI.

Not to mention, what does it even mean to "choose your algorithm"? Once you give me your data, you have no control over what I do with it. The only thing you can really choose is what piece of data you give away, but the article as it stands doesn't really make sense.
Yes, good call on tabs.
"you like money and reusing 20 year old tech, right?"
Thanks for sharing! Ribbon filters, xor filters, these binary fuse filters, are all immutable sets where the keys are known at construction time. But there are many classes of problems where that's true.
Where I live the recycling just says 'plastic' and you can (annoyingly) throw pretty much whatever you want in there without penalty. Recycling is very inconsist in the US.
Who should have the keys if such a thing is permitted to exist? And if such a thing should not exist, why is it only a problem at the moment someone you don't like is about to get the keys?
You could make a case for the genre "re"solidifying, but roguelikes as a genre were hardly an indistinct vapour before this recent craze.
On the same line, isn’t it also more expensive for humanity as a whole to keep throwing stuff away just to make and buy more?
good catch, it's one of the more infuriating modern thought-terminating cliches. as if all that matters is how things look, rather than how they actually are.
User repository with no assurance that apps are integrated properly with the framework.
