Before deploying this, do some analysis of your system and failure modes. And document it.

For example, do you have read-write filesystems or swap? If it gets corrupted, will a reboot cycle with fsck corrupt it further, preventing post-mortem forensics? This may have security implications too.

What about network access to a shared system? Will a power outage cause a stampede on your servers? Should you stagger that 60 value?

Just a few questions to ask.
For those of us who live in a place that reaches freezing temperatures for months on end, there's no choice. If I don't heat my house, my pipes will freeze and I'll be out thousands of dollars in repair work and damage.

I turn the heat down to 55 or so (the lowest the thermostat will go) when I'm away for a few days. But I've never heard of anyone not leaving their heat on some setting for this reason. Do you live somewhere that almost never drops below freezing?
Me too! I started http://civboot.org and have been working on it's language fngi. It's been a blast so far!
There was always a delay of a few seconds before the main program started. I found out why when I tried to write protected mode code myself: You could only ask 4kb of memory at a time from emm386 (or himem, I forgot). There was no bulk access. So you had to loop trough the complete allocation in steps of 4k at a time. I think emm386 switched to protected mode, changed a page table, then went back to real/v86 mode for each block.

When my code was written, it had exactly the same delay as other dos extenders.
FWIW, commuter demand has sort of a complicated effect on train routes.

Commuters generally want heavy rail to get them from where their housing dollar goes farthest to where the highest wage is, and back, riding twice a day, usually over a significant distance. Fast trains, stops widely-spaced so they can hit top speed.

This is at odds with local service for residents, who want trains with tightly-spaced stops and care more about frequency than speed. I live in a dense city with largely non-functional rail transit (Baltimore), and IMO part of the problem is that our public transit options can't decide if they want to be commuter rail or local service and wind up being terrible for both (too slow for commuters because it's light rail, too infrequent for local traffic because of the cost of running a bunch of trains out to the burbs).

> Yeah.

Look I completely agree with you. But people in this thread keep making pointless biological arguments with the motivated goal of invalidating trans people. And my hope that pointing out that the world is weirder than people assume at the biological level (like you can have a uterus where the cells are all XY) would make people realize that being trans is actually one of the less weird phenomenon that occurs in humans. Trans women aren’t women because maybe one day with a transplant they will be able to give birth, they’re women because they experience distress and wrongness when treated as a man but it’s alleviated when treated as a woman.

It wound be easier to argue that this is just some kind of delusion if cis people didn’t also experience it when treated as the opposite gender and it happens about 1 in 100 people.
Please read the other responses here and consider that maybe your colleagues have a better idea of what they need than you do.
Heh...as an A&A customer I was thinking that too, then wondering if someone had found a vulnerability in RevK's code.

Conversly, I now have their more premium Scanwatch, and I feel the UX regressed, while the added functions are not for me.
Have you looked at/tried the Garmin smart watches? I wear an Instinct 2, and from your list I’d say:

- Battery life is around 25 - 30 days (it would be longer if I was outside more and got more benefit from solar charging)

- The screen is always visible

- The UX on the watch is pretty terrible, not going to lie.

- Not a problem at all. When it is very, very, dark I have to press a button to temporarily activate the backlight.

> So it actually seems that in the logistics line of things like manufacturing / production / etc. there is a place for blockchain, mainly due to the immutability and decentralized distribution properties. What could take a whole week to track down using older methods, takes seconds if all the data is recorded on the blockchain...for example, food production. You want to find out exactly which animal your food comes from, and all the things involved (use of antibiotics? which factory? how did the product travel before ending up at your grocery store? etc.).

Literally none of that should involve (let alone requires) a blockchain.
Start by changing them to secure endpoint devices, either ipads or chromebooks. That will solve the ransomware problem and most malware problems.
Ask HN: How are you implementing GTD in 2022?
Rephrasing the question to highlight the answer:

Do users like an aesthetic remarkable for it's not blending in anywhere, ease of construction, and lack of polish, or is the predilection towards brutalism a byproduct of the people making it not wanting to put in the care or work to make something fit?

A few monents thought should make the answer clear.
In the early days, RISC and other non x86 hardware was the future to some of us. Whether the OS is good or not, I wanted to try it out, as a newer era in CPU architecture and a possible competitor to the dominant architecture. To me the hardware is very much not the problem here, when I disregard non-serviceable parts. The OS is just as quirky as linux, and has some elements that are comparable to linux (the terminal is much more posix-y than windows cmd), however your options are limited in ways that you may have grown used to as a linux user:

- no alternative DE's, WM's or the ability to compute without either one. (both are in my submission history with 0 solutions, i've asked.)

- no customization (top car can't go away, bottom bar can't slide out like powerpc mac)

- no involvement in the bootloader

- no upgrading hardware without 'tricking' the OS

- no alternative drivers/firmware options

the list goes on, and like I said, just as quirky as linux so most of us just 'make do' with MacOS as 'good enough' on what is probably the most performant and efficient laptop I've ever owned. I never knew how much fan noise, vibration, and hot fingers negatively impacted me until I put hands on my old laptop.
That's also how many higher end analog chips are made, just blast it with laser till it fits tolerance. Making a bunch of chips in less precise process then trimming them chip by chip ends up cheaper than going to more expensive processes.
Damn, if that's the battery life I might as well get a Framework or System76 laptop built more specially for Linux.
That might be typical for new builds, but it varies a lot by region. Much of the northern half of the country is still burning propane, pellets/wood, or fuel oil for heat.

A bit of a basic analysis -- minds are brains and brains are just the go between some inputs and outputs, therefore they are just some sort of mapping, therefore Turing, therefore brains are computers.

Conscience is the obvious problem to that analysis since there is no good reason that any sort of mechanism may give rise to self-awareness. Roger Penrose posits that's perhaps because it is a fundamental property of the Universe given expression by the arrangement of the brain. However, if that is the case the brain may not be "yet another substrate" for a mind -- it may be key -- and mind may not be a mapping between inputs and outputs -- it may be elementary.

Another poster put it quite brilliantly: "perhaps creating a mind in software is like trying to create a magnet in software".
>Because employers do not really care about the environment.

This is the correct answer. Most environment related stuff (and other causes that are taken up) is mostly virtue signalling.
It has nothing to do with their network infrastructure and everything to do with the way they calculate player movement, input, and perform lag compensation.

Here's another surprise for you: although Fortnite and Valorant are on Unreal, they don't use the default multiplayer networking code. You can't create a reliable game with it.
What I'm saying is that you don't need a decentralized ledger to enable the "financial innovation" we've been seeing, and that it's not permissionless if every meaningful action (buy/sell/trade) happens on good ol' central exchanges.
Two main problems

1. Middle and senior management who don't want to lose control or be rendered less effective.
2. Engineers who are not trained in written communication and largely cannot autonomously move a group towards a goal without a lot of supervision.

If you solve for no 2, then that acts counter to no 1 - because middle management will be questioned - why do we need you ? If a group of engineers can function on their own towards a common goal, then the manager's role is more or less rendered redundant. Sure there may be a need for psychological support but you surely won't need the current ratio of engineers: managers.

There is a deep rooted old school interest in staying physically connected. This won't go away anytime soon. I am not debating whether that is right or wrong, but the general notion that 'we are better if we are physically together' still persists. I don't know if this is a genuine feel-good-together feeling or just a made up emotion to mask point no 1 above.

I am flummoxed by how executive leadership is simply blind to these facts in most companies. I mean the CEO can declare a fully remote constraint sort of like the exact opposite of what Musk did at Twitter and drive productivity higher. The cynic in me says execs can't force this decision because the senior management simply will come back and say 'we cannot be this productive with a fully remote team anymore'. I don't know but I for one cannot understand the irrational exuberance behind RTO.
One option in the future is the that United Kingdom refers to the monarchy not the government. If Scotland became Independent, they could retain the monarchy. So you could argue the kingdoms are united, but different governments "serve" the monarch in different countries. This would require England and Wales to come up with a new name for their new country unless Wales also asked for independence.
It's The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, so presumably if Ireland were to ever unify we'd just be...the Kingdom of Great Britain?

UK nationality law is exceptionally complex (probably the most complex in the world). Irish nationality law is less complex but inherited a lot of warts from the UK

In general if you’re born in NI and your parents are settled (that is they have permanent residency or are EU citizens with derived status) or are UK/IE citizens you are both British and Irish.

> It clearly demonstrates a ruthlessness in the French Intelligence services through the delibrate bombing of a foreign flagged ship

They bombed the ship in a harbor, in a way that was intended to let everyone evacuate the ship. The photographer died because he came back to the hull to get his belongings when the second bomb exploded. (Which isn't to say it was an accident. The agents did plant those bombs, and the bombs did kill someone in a way they could have anticipated, even if it wasn't their goal.)

It's a radical action to take for an intelligence service, and it's a deadly crime committed on the sovereign territory of an allied country, but I don't think it's fair to assess that it demonstrates "ruthlessness of the French Government". It's certainly pretty mild by the standards of international espionage.

And it seems like very weak evidence if used to argue that France has uniquely aggressive secret services. I don't want to do whataboutism to excuse the DGSE's actions, but if the argument is that the DGSE is less bound by ethics than, say, the CIA, then I do have to point out that the CIA has done a lot worse than bombing a boat, a lot more recently.

The book How Innovation Works by Matt Ridley changed my perspective on this. Originally I thought all innovation was like the dotcom era. Ridley attempts to show that there are times when it is not always clear what the final innovation will be.
The paper is suggesting that sheep in herds tend to follow each other, and in that sense end up with "leaders" - that is, a single or relatively few animals that are able to direct the herd as it moves for a short while. Reminds me of watching boids

Makes sense. Honestly we do this too - when travelling in large crowds certain people take on the role of leader (one person parting crowds who is large or particularly determined to get to their friend or just happened to be first, and chains of others follow them because it's the right general direction as well and is easier than pushing through oncoming traffic)
No, the ABI issue is fundamentally there regardless of what compilers did or didn't do.

If you have an interface that has a function that e.g. takes an intmax_t parameter (and even the C standard has those, e.g. imaxabs()), increasing intmax_t size (ABI change) would break existing callers.

So you can only change intmax_t size if you do not care about ABI stability.

I TRY to bill on the half day/day or ideally for the entire project. But, if I have to bill hourly then the moment the clock starts an hour has begun. If I only work 10 minutes that day, then I bill the client an hour. If I work 10 minutes at 5 different times during the day, then I typically consider that all to just be 1 hour. If I do it 7 times, then that's 2 hours, etc.

I've also started a passion project to help aggregate data and stories like these. So far, only aggregating that data. https://hourly.fyi/

Is it really 'legacy' car companies? Last I checked Tesla was offering insane subscription packages as well.
Reading more comments, I think in the end the problem is not so much in background noise filtering or voice recognition, but in the lack of context. Primary access to contextual information may explain why Siri gives better results.

E.g. for "play X on Spotify", GA first interprets X independently, and then asks Spotify to play it. On the other hand, when you ask Siri to "play X" (presumably on Apple Music), Siri can take into account your listening profile when interpreting X.

This may in fact be at the bottom of Apple trying to restrict integration of Spotify with Siri: The experience will be worse because of the contextual gap, and it will make Siri appear dumb.

> Do you live somewhere that almost never drops below freezing?

Grew up in a place that reaches -25c pretty often and never heard of that. It's in europe though so we probably have better insulation. I could leave my house 3 days and no pipe would burst, I've never heard of anyone having burst pipes now that I think about it. When I went to school and my parents were at work we'd shut down the heating completely, we were pretty poor so there is that, but I don't remember being cold

Does this limit the type of operation you can do. I could imagine if you were allowed decision operators you would completely defeat the encryption. This makes me think there is a a limit on some of the algorithms that you can actually run. I saw in the comments about Differential Privacy which sounds like it overcomes this issue but I am curious on what more educated people how to say about the operation sets available in a Homomorphic environment
Yes, for all the reasons impendia listed.

I would also add: cross referencing a printed out paper (or book!) is much faster and easier than on a computer. I think this has something to do with the physicality of the medium. If I’m deep in a paper or a book, it begins to feel like an extension of my body. I can simultaneously track where many different things are in the document just by feel. Over time, you get experience with papers and books you’re well acquainted with. For some reason, this process just never seems to go as far with something on a computer screen. I think it has something to do with spatial memory in people being so powerful, and manipulating an object physically being more keyed to spatial memory than manipulating something abstractly on a computer.

I fully understand. I do much of the same. Work from home. Keep the fan on at all times for the noise. Have one monitor playing content-less videos on a loop. For me personally, train cab ride videos and asmr massage do the trick. There's nothing to follow. The content is relaxing. It does the trick. I used to follow a couple of Buddhist podcasts where the speaker is calm & measured. Never paid much attention to the content, but the voices helped immensely.

LATE EDIT: I thought of another analogy. Imagine that the national postal service of your country add a "papers you might like" service; people in this hypothetical can go to the post office submit their proposals and then the post office sends it around to whoever it thinks might like your mail.

If the postal services decides to ban you from this "papers you might like" service you are still allowed to send as much mail as you want to whoever you want, but you no longer have access to the postal service expertise in spreading your news.

This can obviously be abused but it is also very different from being unable to send any mail at all.

In addition, the engineering skill required for writing basic desktop software is much lower than it used to be, while the skill required to write code for a game engine, audio/video processing, low-level network stacks, or any of the other problems on your list is just as high as it used to be, if not higher.

Back in the day, anyone writing even a simple desktop app needed to know about algorithmic complexity and low-level optimizations, or their code would be intolerably slow (if it even ran at all). Today, if all you’re developing is a simple productivity app, high-level abstractions have eliminated the need for such low-level knowledge, dramatically lowering the barrier of entry for developers, at the expense of software efficiency. In other words, if the problem you’re solving is inherently easy, it is easy to write (inefficient but fast enough) code to solve it. This used to not be the case: even easy problems required difficult code to solve.

However, all of the problems on your list are inherently difficult and complex, and thus still require difficult and complex code to solve. The barrier of entry for developers remains high, ensuring that those who work on said problems still have thorough knowledge of how to write performant code.
