Was “HDMI with Ethernet” actually implemented by any devices? I can’t find any reference of devices supporting it.

(The idea was that fancy HDMI cables could also carry Ethernet, so an AV receiver or TV could also be an Ethernet switch for connected devices.)

Does Dolby S have double-sided tapes? For regular cassette tapes I’ve never really had to worry about rewinding because after playing both sides you’re back at the beginning.

Docker basically packages together a bunch of technologies into something very usable and, at this point, pretty standard. So I could do some of this stuff using chroots, namespaces, and manually fixing up filesystems... but then I'll just reimplement a worse, less standard Docker.

For example, I use cache mounts to get improved performance across executions. Writing that manually is going to involve mantaining a database and cache eviction policies and whatnot.

Docker's actually quite lightweight for that same sort of reason. It's basically just "coordinator for a bunch of stuff already built into Linux".

If I had to manually implement the sandbox it would be a massive amount of work for no real gain imo.

> Plus, inevitably makes it more difficult to work in Windows or Mac.

It's way easier to use Docker for Windows/ OSX than it is for me to build a custom sandbox/ CoW system for them, and things will get better on those operating systems for Docker without me having to do work.

I tried to keep my check-ins to 30 seconds.

Others could go on for nearly limitless time until the mgr finally shut them up.

I suggested to the mgr, a nice enough guy, about splitting the team into smaller groups with 15-minute limits on morning stand-ups, and he responded that he had already proposed that but had been shot down.

For years I've been hearing about how Agile is an effective methodology, but I have not been able to verify this personally. On the contrary, I've come to believe that poorly executed Agile is much worse than nothing.

Now I'm contemplating my next steps and many if not most employers do list Agile as a "skill" or a requirement. Not sure if I should just smile and make nice about it, or be honest and say "Yes I've used Agile but it was at best a waste of time."

> But the fundamental question remains: What’s the point?

The only way I could see this being marketed is maybe as a Mac display extension; Meta apps like Immersed show that the idea could be really great with better hardware. Gaming doesn’t make sense, and AR doesn’t really make sense either. If this thing is real it’s definitely not intended for the iPhone audience

You can’t pool something you haven’t measured. This is a genuine question. I had thought we’d have demonstrated liability by now.
No doubt apple is better than Roku. Roku is possibly the worst when it comes to privacy. A while back Mozilla reviewed some products for privacy and even then it wasn't pretty:

> One of the researchers working on this guide said, "It had such a scary privacy policy, I didn't even connect it to my TV." Another researcher referred to Roku as a "privacy nightmare." (https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/roku-st...)
The article seems to say the front wheels bulb out to hold stuff, but why do the back wheels go the other way?
When I read critical opinions about Meta’s VR/AR and the rumored Apple headset, I agree in the short term, but eventually VR and business AR applications will be huge.

I worked in VR in the late 1990s, being one of the founders of the SAIC virtuality lab, then games and VR for Nintendo and Disney (via Angle Studios). The Quest 2 is such an improvement, and does not require a $250K Silicon Graphics Realty Engine.

My main field of work since the early 1980s has been AI, and I feel like I have learned patience. I think that some things are difficult to develop and we need to be grateful for steady progress.

I am 71, and if I am fortunate enough to live another 10 years (my Dad is 101 so wish me luck!) then I fully expect comfortable VR and AR gear that can be worn for hours in near perfect comfort, the graphics will be better than human vision can fully exploit, simulation software will be near-perfect and all types of AI will have improved to entertain us, help us in our work, and technology will be more “ready at hand”, tools that are so good they blend into the background of our lives.
The DMV example is a poor one, every interaction I've had with their offices were quick, professional and cheap.

> This is the danger of legislating an exact how. It may be the right thing sometimes, but it can also go sideways.

> If the regulations said banks had to be secure by ‘taking all due care’ and follow ‘best practices’ and such, this wouldn’t be such an issue.

Legislating the outcome is even worse than legislating the means.

American medical care is regulated in the exact manner you describe - a doctor is required to follow the local standard of care, whatever that may be.

This means that every time anyone takes a precaution, it becomes part of the standard of care and must be taken in every case from now until the end of time. If you stop doing it, perhaps because on a cost-benefit analysis it has wildly negative benefits, you're not following the local standard of care and you're wide open to a malpractice suit.

Your preferred legal phrasing is a ratchet; the only outcome it can ever have is insanity.

Legislating outcomes can be even worse than that: https://www.theonion.com/proposed-bill-would-bring-4-000-tro...
> Hah, ‘merely practical’ is high praise for a concern IMO?

I'm not sure that you're following exactly what I mean. I'm saying that once any ethical barrier involving 'obligation' to society is overcome, it's a problem to be calculated like any else. What are the risks, what are the returns.

As for the second part, it doesn't matter when the result is the same. I don't care if I'm being persecuted or ignored when my life is still shit. I'm not willing to sit on my hands under some false belief that turning the other cheek is pious when the only life I'll ever live is slipping through my fingers.
Since the fly folks are here: I'd love the ability to trigger jobs as I can with aws batch. The ability to do `fly run -a journalize-batch --command="python3 upload.py"` is something I need right now and am in the process of setting up aws batch to do it.
But it's not random. The context here is somebody calling person $A for help, and person $A saying "can we have a call to address this?" Saying "no" here is simply declining help from person $A.

The logic behind having more kids in order to keep old businesses open is tortured. That's like building more cars to make sure that we can keep the parking lots full.
> no-one else in the family wanted it

This is really the key part. A business can be successful yet soul crushing or not making financial sense compared to other jobs. In France bakeries are facing this same issue: one can support the whole community and be wildly popular while being a losing proposition for the owning family, and it’s becoming a real issue to find a better balance and people to keep the traditions alive.

I think this could be dangerous because a generated answer might be 100% wrong and look correct, yet the question asker might accept it nonetheless. The more this happens, the worse the entire site becomes. I tend to agree with the concept of preventing as much AI as possible, simply because it is much harder to distinguish wrong AI answers than organic ones. Just my opinion though.
He seems oddly hung up about the external battery pack. I would have thought moving weight out of the headset would make it more comfortable for wearing in lengthy sessions?
riscv does have something that arm/x86 doesn't have: intense implementation competition at every perf/price point

Lots of companies are throwing their hat in trying to design a riscv core.

You can do a riscv startup, its much harder to do an arm startup and near impossible to do an x86 one
I actually find it difficult sometimes to drag my iPhone 14 over my magsafe charger so it actually snaps to it in the dark. Easier for me to feel for the cable and lightning hole. Also you can use the phone while charging from a cable, but not very well while magsafe charging. Magsafe is fantastic for the car though.
Just adding my two cents here - I bought a quest pro hoping to use it as a monitor replacement while traveling for a couple of months. I found it pretty much unworkable after trying to make it work across multiple different virtual desktop apps.

You can get something up and running - but it feels akin to staring at a 1080p screen with a weird delay. I felt way more productive just looking at my tiny laptop screen.

Your mileage may vary, obviously. I really liked the idea of working in a distraction free virtual environment, but I feel like the tech isn’t there yet unless you’re an enthusiast whose willing to put up with all of the strangeness.

The anti stock is actually a great idea, I am surprised Wall Street doesn’t do this already to create synthetic longs.

Unfortunately it would be hard to collateralize since there is technically no limit to the dividend, similar to a sold call, but just like a sold call you could collateralize with an equivalent sized long position. That could probably be useful for tax optimization (similar to how many of the crypto lending services require full or over collateralization of the underlying, with the market generally being people who want to spend appreciated crypto without realizing a gain). Congress would certainly eventually address this, but there would be a few glorious years of deferred capital gains.

It could also be extremely useful for market making - when you can’t get a share to sell to fill or collateralize an order, you generate a synthetic long and anti stock. But you’d probably have to get some system in place with clearing houses where you eventually replace the synthetic long with a real share. IIUC this is pretty close to how the system works already.

I want to go to this party, IME most Bay Area parties are just really awkward nerds trying to suss out who is making the most money

Hello, I'm a rising senior biomedical engineering student at the University of Waterloo. I'm looking for a 4-8 month internship in swe or ML. I've worked at two startups previously as a backend engineering intern and a data science intern. In school I write code for biological systems modelling, image generation for medical imaging prototypes, and have some hardware experience. I graduate April 2024.

No.

The automotive industry has simply been slow to adapt.

And so have the legislators and regulators who should have been preventing the automotive industry from selling products where it increasingly seems plausible or even likely that a vulnerability will be found and exploited at scale by someone really trying to do harm and the consequences will be catastrophic.

The danger has been obvious to many who work in tech for a long time and has been publicly demonstrated often enough against enough different types of vehicles that the threat should be like a giant billboard that is repeated every 100m along every road in the world by now. Someone in power needs to realise that even the kind of intense scrutiny and safety culture that we see in for example aviation or some medical fields or nuclear power stations doesn't scratch the surface of what we need for an industry that sells around 100,000,000 new vehicles every year.

The auto industry is infamous for treating the human cost of its failures as a mere financial cost of doing business and operating accordingly. It simply can't be trusted to "adapt". It must be forced through unprecedented levels of oversight, regulation and sanctions for businesses, executives and investors who don't act responsibly.
> I've seen local law enforcement not bother to investigate high-five- to low-six-figures of thefts from break-ins at multiple offices over a couple-week span by a single crew whose van was caught on camera complete with license plates at more than one of the offices. The cops didn't care.

Screen shares are almost always a signal that this call will be a huge waste of time

If you're talking about just sharing images of each other's faces, then sure. But if you're talking about an actual screen, with an editor, and code, and config files, and debug logs, or whatever, then "hard disagree" here. I can't even count the times somebody has pinged me for help with something, made it sound super mysterious and unsolvable while explaining through text chat, and then we had a Teams call and I saw something in (their code|their config|their debug logs|etc) that let me solve the problem for them in like 2 minutes.

That shit is exactly why I agree with the person up-thread who said "I almost always want to jump on a call ..." IME, things get done quicker when I can actually see what's going on for myself instead of having to read someone else's abridged / misinterpreted / whatever version of events.
What was the interest rate?
I feel like you've gone down the rabbit hole to the point that you've over complicated everything and now you can't do anything.

Take a step back and simplify everything.

Personally, I just use GCP cloud functions talking to a GCP managed postgres database. I don't worry about all the deploy stuff since their tooling takes care of it for me... heck, integrate it with github actions and it is just a git push to go live.

GCP is also next to free for low tier usage. Last I looked, a tiny postgres instance was one of the cheapest out there.

Then, just put cloudflare in front of GCP and now you've got the ability to use their functions in front of GCP too.

Fully scalable, relatively simple and low cost.
Interesting that there's no mention of the guns on the crime scenes, it seems the damage they did was to cut chain link fences and try to flick a master switch at 4 substations, only the 4th was a bit of a fail and caused irreparable damage...

Funny how it's painted until you read the complaint. Either way, glad they caught the fools.

The Google "supremacy" paper wasn't retracted per se, it was just shown to be wrong. They claimed to do a thing on a quantum computer (specifically, simulating a particular quantum circuit) that would take 40,000 years on a classical supercomputer, assuming a particular method for doing the computation.

The real number was 2.5 days, and the computing breakthrough involved in the huge speedup was... using SSDs to store your intermediate state instead of recomputing it every iteration.

My take on this is that it's absolutely obsolete. There is a type of technology that can bring this stuff up to date but I can't write it on Hacker News without being buried.
It does. It often also happens even when there are people to take over, like in my families case. My dad didn't want me to inherit my parents business, in his words I would be inheriting debt.
>Africa is projected to grow rapidly in population until the end of the century. If developed countries can assimilate large numbers of African immigrants peacefully and productively, that could represent a path forward for the planet.

I don't see any reason why anyone should take those projections seriously. Countries went from booms to baby busts in the span of few decades.
For one, calls don’t result in a searchable log.

Yeah but search in Slack and MS Teams both suck IME. The idea of what you're talking about makes sense and I'm sure it works out for somebody sometime or other. But I haven't found having that history particularly useful.
There were three indictments in this case. The two lies the case was based on were:

•OfficeMax lost money every time I traded them a cartridge for $3 in net 45 store credit (pay no attention to the fact they refilled them, put them in generic packaging, and sold them for $10 less than a new $60 cartridge). They went off what they thought I paid as what they were actually worth (like having a pizza delivered, and telling them it's only worth $1.26 because that's all you believe they paid for the ingredients). Also pay no mind to the fact they could have stopped paying me at any time for them, for years, or asked me to stop bringing them in. But no, every time I came in with a bag, beep beep went the scanner 20 times, handed me a receipt confirming same with a smile, and out I went. Yet I was somehow the one stealing from them.

•I got explicit written permission from them with the receipt adjustments. They even reworded it to make it more explicitly permissible to do what I did. My public defender slow-walked this in front of the jury so I couldn't raise it as ineffective assistance.

If you watched the video, you'd know my wife was a victim. But the biggest victim I'd say is the American people. I've worked many years as a bay area mobile developer, and paid a lot in income taxes, and supported my family. Throwing a fine at me wouldn't have cost the tax base anything, but the hit to the taxpayer was substantial by taking away my ability to work and throwing my family onto public assistance. Most of America is disturbingly comfortable pinching pennies when it comes to aid to the poor but goes full drunken sailor when it comes to spending money on prisons.
1) Healthcare and college tuition are a much bigger problem in the USA than e.g. in Europe, and yet birth rates have fallen more in Europe.

2) Citation needed for housing vs wages for the "last few decades". Price-to-income ratios have increased only a little bit before 2020 compared to either 1950 or 2000, as far as I remember.

3) If you take a given region (e.g. Europe, or East Asia) birth rates have fallen more in more affluent countries.

Note how the GP says "worldwide", not "in Palo Alto" ;)
I am afraid you are wrong on two points: there was indeed a license agreement with every Amiga sold (whether enforceable or not, I don't know), but more importantly there were no rights to be waived in the first place.

System ROMs were protected copyrighted works well before the release of Amiga in 1985. See the case of Apple vs. clone maker Franklin:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Computer,_Inc._v._Frankl....

What you describe is piracy. Your other comment about legality having a "bad reputation among Amiga enthusiasts" makes it seem like the Amiga community is one of criminals. That is sheer madness.
I kind of doubt that the heavy fines have as much to do with Singapore's lack of littering as their overall culture. More holistic and less individualistic. Japan has equally low rates of littering, but I don't think their laws are quite as strict.
