I'm pretty sure this is just grey market arbitrage. Microsoft sells Windows 11 in the US for $100+ but if they sold it in say Cambodia or India for the same price no one would buy it.

These sellers realized this and are buying a copy of Windows 11 or MS Office in their home country for whatever the price may be, marking it up, and reselling it on eBay to customers in the EU/US/Canada/etc.
I found that animation and visuals are really helpful here for people who struggle with it. There's plenty of tutorial videos on YouTub

An epistemological hurdle that really helped me was realizing these things like frequency and time domain aren't "real" as much as they are extremely useful mathematical models for manipulating things.

Wait. In this analogy, you think that even watching the film counts as copyright infringement? To be clear, stability have not used SD to generate an image which is infringing, they have merely trained a model which someone else could use to generate (allegedly) infringing material.
As others mentioned, but to add a bit more clearer detail, the controllers did not connect to the device you were playing on i.e your computer/tv etc, they used wifi to directly connect to the stadia servers thus avoiding an extra step and hence making them useless once the stadia servers closed down wirelessly, because they never worked like a normal controller (still would work wired though)

The controllers did however have a bluetooth chip that was used for initial setup, so you could connect it to the stadia app and put in the wifi settings. This firmware update google is releasing so that it will work as a normal bluetooth controller using this bluetooth chip.

That's a question of why Fourier transforms are important though, not just how they're defined and computed. The next-level answer is presumably that sinusoids (or complex exponentials in general) are the eigenfunctions of general linear time-invariant systems, i.e. that if the input to an LTI system is exp(j*w*t), then its output will be A*exp(j*w*t) for some complex constant A. Some other comments here already alluded to that, noting that sinusoids are good for solving linear differential equations (which are LTI systems), or that the sum of two sinusoids of the same frequency shifted in time (which is an LTI operation, since addition and time shift are both LTI) is another sinusoid of that same frequency.

LTI systems closely model many practical systems, including the tuning forks and flutes that give our intuition of what a "pure tone" means. I guess there's a level after that noting that conservation laws lead to LTI systems. I guess there's further levels too, but I'm not a physicist.

That eigenfunction property means we can describe the response of any LTI system to a sinusoid (again, complex exponential in general) at a given frequency by a single complex scalar, whose magnitude represents a gain and whose phase represents a phase shift. No other set of basis functions has this property, thus the special importance of a Fourier transform.

We could write a perfectly meaningful transform using any set of basis functions, not just sinusoids (and e.g. the graphics people often do, and call them wavelets). But if we place one of those non-sinusoidal basis functions at the input of an LTI system, then the output will in general be the sum of infinitely many different basis functions, not describable by any finite number of scalars. This makes those non-sinusoidal basis functions much less useful in modeling LTI systems.
Oh, that's interesting. Rather a chicken and egg situation then.

I started early writing games and utilities on an 8-bit home computer. The best thing was that you did everything yourself, there were no libraries. To make it faster you sprinkled in some machine/assembly language and interfaced it.

The closest modern example might be using "View source" and making your own complete web pages/sites. The benefit of this approach is that you don't get value in micro-optimization of a single function and have to balance effort over the whole.

What I do nowadays is lots of code reviews. For my own PRs, I review them myself first with the mindset of someone who starts with near zero context. During development, I'll prototype something that just works (git commit and push to branch), then revise some parts that may have bad expected performance or low coding standards. Difficulties in naming or describing the work in a PR description may mean that you don't understand the problem/solution well or decomposed it in arbitrary rather than meaningfully stable ways.

One thing that's not often mentioned is working on old/large/legacy codebases--in particular ones you've written. It really gives you humility and a long-term view of what was actually needed and what didn't age well (YAGNI).

This will put you above "good enough" into 'should be good enough for anyone' territory.
The story I've heard is they're keys for OEM installations that are sold off without the hardware. So it's not legit by the terms of the license. On the flip side, I've known some to be used, and they never stopped working. Probably luck of the draw on that front, though.
I see. Your response suggests that the U.S. is not currently practicing what it preaches. So, do you believe the Hamdan and Boumedienne decisions were wrongly-decided? Or do you believe the Biden administration is not abiding by them?
Thanks for the suggestion. I did not add it because of HN guidelines: "please use the original title" https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
OEMs and businesses are allowed to buy keys in bulk, and sometimes resell spare ones they don't need. (Or, worse, buy them in bulk with the direct intention of reselling them.)

I bought a couple of Windows 10 keys a few years ago, and they only worked for a few months before Microsoft blocked them. And fair enough, I suppose.

It's worth noting that if you have a valid key for Windows 7, 8, or 10 that you are not using, it will be accepted in Windows 11.
This is a bit like asking if Windows and MacOS will ever merge.

That's fair, I should've been more precise.

We can break this into (1) and (2):

(1)

The model is a copyright violation as it contains untransformed copyrighted material. You can show this by simply asking for a picture of Mickey Mouse.

To preempt a few (obvious) arguments about what it means to be "transformed", keep in mind an encrypted zip file containing images of Mickey Mouse would not be considered transformative, even if it happens to contain images that aren't copyrighted.

(2)

> then it does so to exactly the same degree as it would if it wasn't AI generated.

This is the conclusion of an argument, but I'd need to see how you show that "it does so to exactly the same degree". Right now, it looks like you're taking that as a base assumption.
I think auto infrastructure should be designed around lower steady speeds with roundabouts and stop signs and lights, at least in the US. Right now we have high speed limits, wide roads which encourage speeding, but a lot of stop signs, long stop lights and driveway filled stroads that are terrible for everyone.

I'd like narrower lanes, bump outs raised intersections and crosswalks to slow traffic. Reduce curb cuts and driveways to cut down on conflicts - thinking Dutch style access streets and alleys that connect to the less interrupted travel lane.

The added benefit of lower speeds would make it safer for bikes and pedestrians and reduce auto crash fatalities.

Slower steady speeds would reduce stooa go, dropping noise and particulate emission from acceleration.
"couple of pounds heavier"??!?! That's understating it.

Seriously, a Model 3 is ~500 lbs heavier than Honda Accord, and a Model Y is significantly heavier than a Model 3.

I don't have a gaming PC or console atm so I can only use streaming (Geforce Now and Xbox Cloud) and I notice it but somehow you also get used to it like adjusting your gameplay to it. It's really not that bad (and I'm nowhere near any big data centers).

Anyways it wasn't the lag that killed Stadia but the monetization: buy the games full price + pay a monthly sub too. It's just plain bad. On Geforce Now you can use your existing libraries (Steam, Uplay, Epic) and don't even have to pay if you can stand the queues. On Xbox Cloud you have to pay a monthly sub (except for Fortnite) but they give the games too, pretty much a Netflix for gaming. Both has its merits, currently I dig Xbox Cloud more.
> I switch to my Mac laptop to play stuff like Fortnite.

Fortnite is about as casual as it gets. You won't rank very high in a twitch shooter like CS:GO (or keep consistent ranking) using a cloud gaming service.

> The team genetically engineered a mouse strain that, when given a particular drug, makes an enzyme that cuts their DNA at 20 sites in the genome, which are then faithfully repaired. Widespread changes in cells’ DNA methylation patterns and gene expression followed, consistent with Sinclair’s theory. The mice ended up with an epigenetic signature more like that of older animals, and their health deteriorated. Within weeks, they lost hair and pigment; within months, they showed multiple signs of frailty and tissue aging

Maybe in the future the prison system will allow inmates to choose between serving a full sentence or taking enough specific epigenetic damage which equates with a particular sentence.

For instance, a prisoner is given a 10 year sentence: 1 year must be served but the other 9 can be deferred by taking the injection, damaging the epigenetic modifications, and synthetically aging 9 years.

Does the 1 year need to be particularly brutal so that synthetic sentencing is a viable option? I don't know - maybe it already is. I think I would take the injection.
Yep, that is what I found when I looked into this, and I think there was maybe if a legal dispute over whether reselling is allowed across regions and it is.

So buy a key from MS india and sell it on Ebay is a business that MS doesn't want to exist but yet does.
I don't think it's the throughput, but the variance. There are so many places for something to go wrong between two computers, so doing something that needs a very tight latency budget is hard. Harder still when you don't have control over any of the parts connecting things. In a DC, everything can be built for qos and latency, but on a desktop you're using a porbably garbage router with a home OS running a million things.
Ask HN: How to clone a wi-fi network completely?
I have a wi-fi client in our heat pump, that is hard to access for reconfiguration. I want to change my network setup, and before doing that, I would like to move that client to a new device.

I've setup a new router (running dd-wrt), using same SSID, mac cloning (same BSSID), same subnet mask, same channel, same security method... but the client is not able to connect to the new device yet.

What else is there to clone?
Could it be a difference in the chip on the router?
What are good ways to migrate such wi-fi clients to a new device?
Yes, true. I've noticed, though, that more often than not HN's deletion of "How"/"Why" makes the title better when it comes to my submissions. I'd estimate 95% of the time I let the HN-auto-edited version stand.

I seem to recall seeing some of the embedded machines get a license key that was only suitable to sell windows installed on the sbc, however some were reselling these as generic install keys which don’t seem to work like that. Might still be a valid key, but likely for a different Windows sku.

Then margin on Macintosh hardware is notorious for being slim. Where it seems they make their money is in the options for more RAM and larger storage. But Apple doesn't make much profit on the base configurations of any Mac, and until they started charging a premium for more RAM or storage, Apple didn't make much profit on any Mac configuration. Apple's history bears this out, as Apple only started growing wildly with the introduction of iPod and iTunes Store, and again with the introduction of iPhone and iPad.

A password-protected zip file containing Mickey Mouse photos also doesn't produce copyrighted material without the right prompt. Yet, the distributor of the zip file is definitely responsible for copyright violation.

This is not what i.e. GNOME are going for nowadays, everyone wants to reinvent the locked down iPhone "experience".

So VERY much this. I don't want an "experience" that's curated and chosen for me. I want to decide for myself how my desktop is going to look, feel, and work. And that is why I use KDE over Gnome, etc. KDE doesn't assume I'm an idiot who needs all options hidden away, yadda, yadda.
They are basically doing a clean up of their balance sheet.

Those old WB shows still had value. So they were an asset in the balance sheet. Long lived assets /intangible assets usually have a long life, something like 40 years, and the clock would have started from the moment that remastered show was created.

These costs would have been hitting the income line as amorrization costs for many many years. Making their EPS look worse than it should.

Still, I question the logic, because you can write down an impaired asset without actually retiring it from service. Some beancounter somewhere had the bright idea to write down the asset to improve the balance sheet and P&L... But that should not mean you pull the shows out of circulation, andbecause they are barely driving any traffic, they have a solid accountinh argument for saying that their economic value is zero.

If a car has fully amortized but it still works, you probably dont stop driving it!
Sure. My last car was a Mercedes AMG that needed new pads every 8-10k miles, so I might be a bit biased. But TBF my car before that was a Land Rover Discovery 3 and that was eating pads like crazy despite not driving it aggressively at all - I attributed it to the weight of the vehicle.
Typo, fixed. I could have sworn I typed "couple hundred pounds".

But to your point, a bmw 430 is also around 500 pounds heavier than a Honda Accord. Nobody sees a BMW and freaks out about tire wear. But people seem to hyperfixate on any small negative of EVs.
I’ve done >800 miles in a day a few times (San Jose <-> Seattle) with my EV (Ioniq 5). It was fine, stopped every 2-3 hours for 15-20 mins. Granted, it’s one of the better supplied charging corridors in the US, so your hassle/overhead may vary depending on where you are going.
I was a very happy KDE user during the 3.3 to 3.5 days. I tried sticking with the desktop after the 4.0 release (there were SO MANY changes and grand new ideas under the hood!), but lost patience soon after the 4.2 release - it just wasn't ready for day-to-day use; all the rough edges made me bleed every day. So I made the plunge to Xfce, and didn't look back for more than a decade.

Until some three months ago, when I had to set up a new, additional machine at home, and I decided to try the new (really: current :)) Plasma Desktop on Arch Linux for funsies. By now, all may Xfce machines, except the one at work, have been migrated to KDE. Now even my wife uses it on her personal desktop - she's especially fond of Okular, KDE Connect, and digiKam.

Not to mention pnpm. Or Bun. Or even Deno. All of which deal with packages, and make different choices.

This isn't to be a pedant, but I think it's a reasonable example of why it's less important that there's a single way to do a thing, or even a single tool vs. multiple alternatives; instead, what I care about is that I don't have to string together tens of tools to do that thing, and that there's some degree of compatibility and standardization in the API between those different alternatives.
