Or you just didn't see and experience it. There is more to bullying than everybody standing in a circle and openly making fun of the "nerd". Most successful bullies are very good at hiding their bullying from people they know wouldn't approve. Having had the unfortunate experience of seeing my daughter get bullied, bullies are sneaky, insidious and very good at keeping their behaviour just on the right side of plausible deniability. I fully believe that over half of her class had no idea she was being bullied.
> What costs? Element (a popular Matrix client) has recently improved their onboarding greatly!

Matrix is a great example where you need that one tech guy to create home server. Otherwise nobody of your friend group can use it as intended to.
I think it the opposite, war started because we are running out of energy.
Does Linux work on it? No, not yet. It may need some custom firmware like you see in the instructions for the Surface.

I just had mine arrive today, which I wanted to enroll as an ARM64 build agent (with Firecracker) for self-actuated ( https://docs.actuated.dev ) - this does actually work with Asahi Linux and the Mac Mini M1, but that was double the price for half the RAM.

So far, it's not looking good, with Ubuntu Server 22.04 and 22.10 both crashing after the Grub menu. I'm sharing progress here:

Unironic enthusiasm for a topic is great, but I think a lot of enthusiasm for something, especially if it's "cool" (coffee, craft beer) is mostly performative. They want to brand themself as similar to other people who are into that thing.
Nobody knows that except amazon and signal.

Would be interesting to know if Amazon could reconstruct that information without Signals knowledge
I was also in a French highschool around 10 years ago but I was lucky enough to have different experience that yours. People part of the "geek" group (like myself) were never excluded from activities and had good relations with the so called popular kids.

It was a time where playing Magic the gathering was really popular so I guess that reduced the stigmatization of nerdy kids.
Would be interesting to have someone do the actual computation of the CO2 / energy waste / etc of building this writing tablet and compare it with the number of paper sheets and pen that you have to use to offset it, just to know
Thank you for the feedback. We get this question a lot, and it is obviously not ideal right now. Things will get much better with passkey autofill very soon, though.

I had no idea about this until my friend - who's still active at the top level in UT99 in a couple of game modes - gave me the lowdown a year or so ago. For anyone who doesn't know what we're talking about - a sequel to Unreal Tournament was announced in the mid-2010s. But it was to be developed relatively openly and in collaboration with the existing UT community. There are builds available that are very playable (including source code[0]) and as far as I know it was shaping up to be a great arena shooter. Then Fortnite exploded in popularity - and UT4 (or just "UT"?) was quietly de-prioritized, and has set in limbo ever since.

It's a shame. I still have some hope that it'll get dusted off, polished and given the attention it deserves at some point. A few people in the community feel quite hostile towards Epic, though, so they may have to work extra hard to regain that following.

Edit: ALSO I figured I'd add something interesting. The UT99 unrealscript source was semi-officially released and Epic did permit the community to release patches ... on the condition that they didn't break compatibility with the released version. That is, if I went back to my parents' house, dug out my old CD copy from 23 years ago, installed it and tried to play on one of the community servers, it would still work. Which is a shame since there are a handful of updates and quality-of-life improvements (for example, net code is supposed to be a bit janky) they would like to do but simply can't. Another missed opportunity :-/
> Or are you both implying the power of and supporting the massive monopoly that Google already has?

This is not a reasonable assessment.

Golang is massive; why would anyone switch to not-Golang which isn't backed by a large organisation and just has one string comparison optimisation?

And why would anyone trust a forking entity that forked a runtime to make a change that could be packaged as a library, as the comment you're replying to already suggests?

I bought a Remarkable 2 - the UI design wasn’t there for me yet and I only persisted with it for a few days, but I am a big believer in the product category and would certainly give the next one a try. However, I think it will be forever niche. Not many people have any interest in writing by hand, and of those that do, only an few are so keen on digital organisation that they would buy one of these. It seems like a permanently small (but well heeled and discerning) target market, something for boutique tech companies to focus on, not giants. So I find it weird that Amazon is targeting this market at all - I don’t see how they plan to grow it into something big enough for them to care about. I feel like Kindle Scribe might just be an experiment that they will kill in a few years.

Anyone got any thoughts on this? Does Amazon have some big strategy that I’m missing here? How do they plan to persuade large numbers of people to buy into digital handwriting?
These are called homogeneous coordinates, and as expected since you have 4x4 matrices, vectors are also 4D, usually in the form (x,y,z,1). The idea is that you can multiply each coordinate by a non-zero scalar and the vector represents the same point, it has several interesting mathematical properties.

For computer graphics, the main advantage is that you can represent translation and projection in the matrix in addition to the other linear transformations like rotation and scaling.

For projection, the 4th vector coordinate, usually named "w", is called the homogeneous coordinate and it is typically not 1 after going through the projection matrix. As a final step, it divides all the other coordinates, so (x,y,z,w) becomes (x/w,y/w,z/w,1), x/w and y/w are the 2D screen coordinates, and z/w goes into the Z-buffer.

FWIW, there is a tiny webapp on the device that you access when you follow the instructions above. You do not need to install anything and it worked perfectly fine for me so far.

Also, you can ssh into the device and even get root access. I have not tried it yet but I guess scp would work as well.

The SCOTUS is "independent" in the sense that it does not have any person or institution they have to answer to, but I'm not sure if that's really all that relevant. The individual members have vastly different views on how to interpret the law, and are clearly put in place for political reasons.

And courts should be "swayed by public sentiment". A judge's job is "to judge", and general societal attitudes play part of that. This is why SCOTUS rulings from 1910 are not the same as today. Otherwise we might as well replace all courts with some AI that would interpret the law to the letter.
> There is no law of the universe that says it has to be possible to generate human-level sapience with less than one kilogram of processing mass. In all likelihood we are never going to create a server with a whole city of intelligences in it, ever.

A computer with five times the mass, five times the volume, and five times the power requirements of the human brain, that can run an uploaded copy of a human brain at merely half the speed of a human brain, would still render Pluto and Mercury trivial to colonise with machine intelligences.

And if it cost a $100k (inflation adjusted) to build, and lasted 80 years before you had to melt down the hardware and reforge from scratch, it would still be cheaper than Musk's target for a human to Mars.

Backplanes are tricky and costly and in this case you need a custom one with sufficient power delivery.

If you making a custom case for a fire-and-forget (and very rare HDD replacement, and in Netflix case - probably redundant on the node level) operation it makes sense to use breakout instead backplane.

National security is nothing more than the sum total of the individual
securities of each citizen.

If your granny cannot trust technology not to have her bank account
emptied by criminals, and Bob the local businessman cannot have a
conversation free from casual industrial espionage of competitors,
then that's national security. We live within nations that prosper
as a result of our individual prosperity, and which perform a duty of
care to protect those citizens.

The phrase took on grandiose and "special interest" tones during the
Cold War and Vietnam era, particularly under Nixon.

But this is 2022, and I urge you to carefully rethink what that phrase
means in a connected and increasingly hostile world. Everyone's
privacy is a small part of National Security.

From your experience, would you say this is the norm for US/North American campuses?

Do non-North American campuses have different policies, in your experience?

I am asking because my experience with campuses (not in North America) has been very different. Gated entrances that filter out anyone who doesn't have a specific, sanctioned purpose. These were invariably state-run or sponsored institutions.
You are assuming Earth-like "meatbags".

A suitably advanced civilization might be able to genetically re-engineer their bodies with live longer, and in more exotic environments.

They may also go the cyborg route and have mechanical appendages to their bodies, rather than replace their bodies entirely.

They may also be able to do things like put their bodies in a state of hibernation during interstellar travel.
In addition to the problems mentioned by siblings, this also sends the wrong message: you're signaling to the website owners that you're OK with tracking (or that you don't care, which is the same).
They are criminally insecure because you know useful passwords after ceasing to be authorized: they neglected resetting them.

Of course, if asking someone their passwords is a normal operating procedure, they were probably criminally insecure from the beginning.

Recommendation: tip the appropriate parties (customers, certification and government agencies, etc.) and nuke them with audits.
Show HN: An influxDB front end made for engineers
Hey HN!

I met many engineers using InfluxDB (https://www.influxdata.com/) for storing test and measurement data.
InfluxDB is awesome.

But the UI confuses them sometimes. I see people struggling to

- find the time range of their data
- make sense of window periods & aggregation functions
- compare measurements across different time ranges
- and much more...

Grafana does not plug the gap, because it is mainly aimed at monitoring real-time stuff.
Engineers need to interact in a much more interactive way with their test data.

We have solved these challenges in the past for files in Marple.
Today we bring the same UI to people using an Influx database.

This gives users
- speed: Marple optimises the queries for you
- UX: no windows, no aggregate functions to worry about
- engineering workflow: data exports, statistics, compare time ranges, ...
- projects: reuse plots and share interactively with your team

Fun fact: the refactor to generalise our data engine proved quite the challenge, feel free to ask our lead dev Jan (jan@marpledata.com) about this!

Make sure to try it out if you are using Influx - we have a free product tier!

Who's running out of energy? The Russians certainly aren't. Ukraine? They've didn't have a lot energy to begin with. Europe? Germany has vast gas reserves it could tap with fracking, it just chooses not to.
pushd/popd are intended for interactive use, not for use in scripts. It prints the full stack on directories and there is no option to be quiet. Of course, there is always redirecting to /dev/null but it is intentional to not have option to be quiet.

Usually there is no need to return to original directory. Change of directory is process-local (script-local) so the calling process is not affected by this 'cd' in the script.
I always wondered how hackable these devices are... Maybe it's time to have a look.

This is the primary problem. American companies aren't willing to give 100% raises year after year to keep up with their competition and retain their employees.
This is just a language misunderstanding. In English, "healthy/unhealthy" is often used to describe things outside physical health.

> Penrose

Penrose is great but resting your argument on his work is dubious. I would go for a portfolio approach when thinking about these things.

> Proof by assertion re physics & intelligence

Physics does indeed tell us that intelligence is possible, inasmuch as we are intelligent. Unless you are claiming that you are not a materialist?

> More proof by assertion

The GP is just asserting that 'a lot can happen over a few orders of magnitude', they aren't trying to proove anything.

It seems like you are making your 'proof by assertion' rebuttal do a lot of work for you, without making and strong claims yourself other than 'GP didn't give good reasons why AGI will be a thing'.

Maybe GP didn't give satisfying reasons, but if you know so much about this stuff it would probably be a worthwhile thought experiment for you to attempt to steelman the Strong AI position instead of shouting it down.

Is it? I think this will doom the device and the company. They exclude a lot while not being cheaper than competitors and they shove basic functionality into a subscription. And yet this notebook replacement doesn't even come with the pen in the box either.

Why would anyone spend $300+$80 for a Remarkable 2 when a Kobo Elipsa or Kindle Scribe is less and they are better at book reading, have features like a screen light and don't need a subscription to do things like cloud sync? Marginally better note taking feel?

I kiiiinda agree with sibling comment about getting rid of such customers, although obviously doing it in a way that doesn't piss people off :) First, though, you need a way to distinguish toxic users from others. This is useful because it reduces the decision-making cognitive burden to nearly zero. You can also explain it to colleagues if/when you have them.

Suggestion: Keep a tally or produce an estimate of what it "costs" you to service the customers who piss you off. Compare it with time lost, work you could have been doing, impact on your mood, etc. There's no simple formula but you could get a basic metric with some imaginative plugging of guesstimates into a spreadsheet.

I wonder if there's a way for you to foster users supporting users? A community forum perhaps? Obviously these can become toxic too, with entitled users spreading rancour. Strong moderation might work, by you and users you elevate to admin status. Sure, forum moderation may take up your time, but it might be simpler than per-user emails (or whatever). Community fora aren't magic bullets, but good examples exist. Just a thought! :)
I had a ticket on this. There's no reason not to write "device is off" on the banner which is already there in sleep mode.

I think the biggest problem with the constitution is that's it's treated with such reverence, and that discussions quickly devolve in to an "argumentum ad constitution" fallacy, rather than actually discussing the meat of the matter.

For the most part I think the constitution is fine, but I also think it's standing in the way of having meaningful debates about the future of the country because half the debates can be quickly shut down with "the constitution".
It really feels like a pro-war comment. You seem to be missing a lot of context, at best.

Shellcheck is a godsend. I'm not a linuxy guy but have had to write some bash at work for gitlab pipelines... I was getting very frustrated with it until I found shellcheck and it instantly resolved a lot of annoyances I had. I added it into the pipeline for the repo that holds the CI scripts (using the koalaman/shellcheck-alpine docker image) and installed the VSCode extension locally. Super simple.
The thing is basically a tiny Linux machine running a webserver and ssh. You can mess with it all you like (with the usual caveats about knowing what you're doing and risking bricking it).

I've ssh'd into mine and it looks just like you'd expect. I didn't mess with anything (because I know that I don't know what I'm doing with it).

I've also used the "email me a PDF of this page" function a couple of times and it works perfectly.

I bought mine before the subscription kicked in, and got grandfathered in, so I can't comment on that.

D1's CPU is comparable to a Pentium III 1GHz, which I remember as something fast, but sure isn't today.

The VisionFive2 is also <$100 but outclasses it, with 4x SiFive U74 (between rpi3b+ and 4 performance), GPU from imatech that's supposedly 4x as fast as rpi4's, better video encode/decode acceleration than rpi4, 2x GbE ports, M.2 port and USB3.

There's no "different perspective" when it comes to slaughtering innocent civilians and other war crimes.
The lack of arrays, dicts and local variables when trying to be POSIX compliant becomes quickly annoying when writing big programs though. There are of course workarounds to deal with those but I wish we didn't have to use them.

Musk has actually been treated with an incredibly light touch given the number of people who have been maimed and killed by Teslas running Autopilot.

Sounds similar to the story of how Transport Tycoon and Rollercoaster Tycoon received patches, particularly thanks to them being made in Assembler from the start and thus easy-ish to modify.

Though plenty of old favorite games in fact get fan patches, especially for graphics—e.g. System Shock (iirc) and original Deus Ex.

Tesla did nothing of the sort. Elon got into trouble for influencing the Tesla share price. Which is almost comical to think about due to how common it is to do exactly that.

Elon made a mistake of giving a specific number. If he just made any run of the mill bullshit grandiose claims it would have been fine. I really have no idea why people are so caught up on this. There is massive securities fraud actually happening every day, and people are hung up on some Twitter banter from half a decade ago.
You're talking about the origin of a mechanism when you make this natural/artificial distinction, not its function. And based on that distinction you postulate that one can never have traits of the other. Reading all your comments in this thread again it seems to me that "should it happen" and "can it happen" are highly overlapping concepts in your opinion, which underscores my impression that you're making a moral argument instead of a scientific one.

You could just let the discourse end there - it's a strongly held belief and that's the end of the discussion. What confuses me, and maybe you can clear this up in a reply, that you still want to have a discussion about facts and reasoning. For that to happen, you would need to show that "nature" does indeed have the privileged and unreplicable position you assert it does. Just using the term "nature" is rhetorically evocative but not rationally meaningful in this context. To start with, you'd also have to definitionally delineate nature from artifice, because we humans have really been blurring those lines for a long time now and no cosmic force has stopped us yet.

Your implication that "natural" processes can never be functionally replicated or continued upon by volitional development is not supported by evidence. There is, however, a lot of evidence for the other side of this debate. We are heavily altering "nature" to suit us, and wherever we looked so far we find machinery that can be rationally understood, manipulated, replicated, remixed, and used whole or in part in our own designs. If there is a supernatural component that somehow privileges "natural" life, we have not found it yet.
