Apple (and to a lesser extent Android) have already gone this route, and Windows 11 originally wanted to push _hard_ on enforcing the presence of more platform security. DRM schemes already perform remote attestation before you can stream 4K Netflix.

Linux and Open Source may be one of the last remaining barriers to this becoming widespread. It's one of the main reasons I whole-heartedly support Valve and their Steam Deck ambitions, and encourage everyone to do the same. Money trumps everything else, so as long as the money to be made from supporting SteamOS > money thought to be saved from piracy, I believe we can still thwart this.
Atos. Astros. Heh.
Yeh, that's exactly what I was saying with:

Well, maybe they are right.

Too many trees that I can't just cut down. I tried them out when they first launched, and it wants a view of the North sky. If I could point it to the South (or even straight up), I would give it another try.

However, I am no longer convinced that it would be worth the cost to upgrade. Too many people have reported overall degraded service in the face of rising subscriptions. Moreover, my DSL service includes static IPs, so I can't simply switch over.
This is also "thanks" to lack (or hostile) of reparability.
That's pretty fitting, considering how much of the Russian playbook US republicans are using...
Thanks for that, it makes sense using your definition. I'm curious as to whether you agree with the parent comment that the subset could contain 'more' properties than the superset.

My understanding from your stricter definition is that (by definition) all potential properties (o for o in O where p(o) = 1) must be contained within O.

If the answer is that the superset O has fewer properties where every p(o) = 1 then I agree, and I was overthinking it
Just to be sure for anyone else reading this, this is a different Blaine Gibson to the Rooster Teeth guy.
For scale we're talking > 2TBps linear read and probably > 500MBps random 4k read in both cases, compared to on the order of 50-500MBps limit on the CPU side depending on threading etc. So still CPU limited. If there's any problem with big file trees it's probably macOS's relatively slow filesystem so again, advantage to the faster CPU. It sounds like LightRoom startup is a little slower but if you use it for editing you're going to get that back in faster workflow. In general modern NVMe has removed disk as a significant bottleneck for normal peoples' workflows, even on Mac. That includes backups, zipping up collections of files, git compaction, etc. What scenario are you imagining here?
Nah, even Wine is quite good these days. Lutris doesn't bundle Proton but still works quite well. I guess really the secret sauce is more DXVK. It's kinda nuts how like 10 years ago we went from maybe 10% of games working well on Wine to 10% of games don't work well under Wine.

Imagine working at a company for 16 years only to discover you were laid off when your badge no longer works on your way to work. You can say "duh, told you so" and "well you got severance so suck it up", but it does not take away from the emotional impact of losing a major part of your identity.

There are many lessons for us to take away from the layoffs this year, and it helps no one to trivialize it into cold facts. It has a real impact on people.

By the way, these large companies have more than capable LDAP systems to lockdown access without nuking everything from orbit. The damage the companies fear when cutting access immediately is, in reality, probably the damage that is happening as employees create internal lists of who was laid off. The damage are companies burning good will during record profits.

True - you always have to deal with the final frontier. There are still very powerful statistical/hybrid systems that can be employed to mitigate cheaters.

You can combine many factors to close the last mile. Getting privileged information off the client machine is a huge part of the battle. The rest can be dealt with using clever tricks, stats, etc.

For example, imagine a game where you are using this ML aimbot to lock onto players heads. The developer could design a ramping detection system like:

1. Statistical detection - outlier in performance. Begin deeper analysis.
2. Review player inputs using our own ml models to determine likelihood.
3. Escalate to active measures - in-game canaries to bait the aimbot into very unlikely, inhuman responses.
To avoid the function overhead, you can also defer the Close() and explicitly call Close() at the end:

defer rows.Close()
/* do things */
err = rows.Close()
if err != nil {
}

1. If the explicit Close() is called first, the error from the deferred Close() is ignored.

2. If the explicit Close() is never called because of a panic, the deferred Close() will kick in and cleanup the resources.
I use a blocker extension in my browser that blocks X sites between certain hours of the day, including HN. If I wanted to, I could go override it but 95% of the time I don't.

I also use a blocker app on my phone and it's more jarring to get that angry background and "You tried to go to X app Y times today".
They can claim it, you can not pay it, express why, and sooner than later the restaurant will be unable to hire.

It's harsh to the worker, but in a recent market of high employment and many companies unable to find staff, should you feel bad? (Today, there may be a restaurant literally across the street hiring)
Random question: I've been hearing this strange clarinet-like noise in my area - exactly like someone practising the clarinet except only one note, never a tune or scales. After puzzling this over for some time the only thing I can think that it might be, is someone going a balloon with nitrous. Is that plausible?
Yes... Waste your time and resources on the mitifable or manageable agents, and leave the high-threat, throughput multiplying organizers to just continue the churn.

Low-hanging fruit collection, while looking good on a poster, will never be as effective as neutralizing high-level actors.

This is the same logic that makes it a jailable offence to steal a loaf of bread, but stealing someone's life savings and disappearing it through fraud or malfeasance gets you a shot on getting on a Board someday.
This is DOJ.
I'm not sure about the stats on gaming consoles, but Apple has over 50% marketshare in the US last I checked, and we're talking about US law here so US marketshare is really more important than how many Android phones people in India and China have. So having a majority of the market which almost everyone these days buys from (almost everyone has a smartphone now, not like gaming consoles which are a niche market), and then forcing everyone with an iDevice to use the Apple App store, is a clear monopoly unlike some gaming console that a small single-digit percentage of the population (or less) owns, and competes with 2 other big competitors, is not the same.
yes this is dog
Not on this case, this is from Trump Era. Lina was still a professor.
For quite a while I suspected that my ISP was pushing flaky updates to my cable modem as my internet would randomly drop until I rebooted it. My solution was to wire it into an esp8266 relay and program my home automation to power cycle it if the internet went down for more than a few minutes. Thankfully, they seem to have gotten their act together; the automation hasn’t triggered since September.
An iconic Mythbusters episode also :) They made an air cannon to fire frozen chickens into a plane.
I'd guess cognitive dissonance. The prevalent anti-anti-RA viewpoints I've seen basically write off the power imbalance between a corporate attestation-demander and the computationally disenfranchised individual, in favor of asserting that the individual can always "choose" to not participate. Basically the same fallacy as asserting that all employment is voluntary, etc.

(Just for context I think it's a useful starting assumption, but an airtight axiom it is not. And the excluded middle nature of tech means those details being assumed away will grow and spread to most every interaction - similar to how many simple read only websites hassle users with CAPTCHAs these days)
> Levels are public at Google, unlike Meta, or Netflix that (formerly) did not have them at all.

Well, yes, before they had levels, they did not have levels.

I'm not sure this is much a a statement however - Meta has had levels for many, many years.

scheduling is simple in the core but gets very complex fast. intake forms, wait lists, classes, multiple appointment calendars, resource limits (say for example company cars ), overlapping appointments , multiple bookings at once (hair cut, dye, blow out) that might require synchronization of multiple people’s schedules, rescheduling and limits on it, handling no shows, etc, not to mention the number of integrations. it’s also a huge market, both for major enterprise companies and literally millions of single proprietors running businesses that make money through appointments
According to https://www.clover.com/pricing/quick-service-restaurant

Clover's fees are:

2.3% + 10¢

Keyed‑in transactions
3.5% + 10¢

So if you have a merchant acct, you'd have to negotiate rates with Clover et al. directly?
The form could simply ask for your name, contact info, and availability.
Years ago I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to get a Kindle to "Whispersync" sideloaded books. Eventually I figured out it was as simple as having an ASIN included in the books metadata (Calibre does this automatically now, but it was fun figuring it out manually with Python scripts).

Originally I thought the ASIN had to be valid, but eventually realized it didn't even matter, just had to match the pattern.
Honestly, I'm surprised the US government hasn't tried to ban ad-blocking yet.

California Assembly Bill 259 – Wealth Tax Act
Except she isn’t. You’re totally incorrect on all your comments.
I don't know how performance will fare in vkd3d-proton going through two layers of translation. Apple still refuses to provide native Vulkan support, so there isn't much that can be done about it.

Even on Linux there is some performance overhead comparatively to Windows, but at least it's acceptable.
The priviliged were fired by the super priviliged.

The middle class VS upper class is a perfectly legitimate conflict.

Suppose you were are from a lower class, surely the middle class has more interests in common with you than the capital-class does?
Me too. Seems to be much more effective for people with GAD rather than depression tho, purely on HN anecdata
The other thing that would probably help engineers is that business and management is extremely difficult, in a way more than engineering, and that whether or not a particular person or decision is good or bad is often times not something that many engineers have the information or capability to evaluate.

I'm a cynic about business and management, not a manager and will not be one, am an engineer, also partake in the usual bitching about managers and business decisions that we all do.

But a lot of the hate is not too rational, and a lot of times the decisions that engineers would prefer would be disastrous for the company. Also, engineers really hate to share any responsibility for commercial failures. It must be a soul sucking job to run a company or sell a product that is uncompetitive. Talk to any engineer about their pet company or product or industry with some notable failure (Boeing, HP, DEC, Sun) and the story is always the same, management and bean counters sucked the life out of it to feed wall street parasites. You hear very little about how their products were sub-standard, too expensive, or out-competed by other companies despite their also being beholden to MBAs and shareholders and pointy haired bosses.
> Joe Blow buying DCM paint stripper

That's what gets me too. I cannot believe how much apparent threat there is in popular media about getting cancer from ocean straws (I'm not a fan of polymer waste and single use but still) and people go to any hardware store buy cheap latex 'water borne' paint with a nasty ether & NMP, fertilizer, weed killer, TCPM paint stripper, new carpeting or furniture on a recurring basis, vinyl siding and flooring, and synthetic fabrics. Then turn around and think 'lol corporations are bad for making CD cases or whatever someone should really do something about that' or vilifying modern production technology that we've become dependent on for high value battery, cars, chips, and medical devices. Like how are advanced economies supposed to function if they lose capability to produce necessary inputs in-house to an extent.

Anyway hardware stores are full of environmentally and health questionable materials, its not right. I think it has to do with societies' tendency to despise labor.

Good point though, I digressed, I think the hill to climb to start something like one of these experiments is enough to dissuade most viewers from repeating.
>> That's wrong. It's poetic, but incorrect. These tools are about as good as a non specialist with time to undertake some bullshitting.

Does it really matter when it comes to real life? Kids take medical advice from TikTok influencers. Half the country believes absurd news they see on Facebook. Half the country believes anything their president says.
I'm overstating it because I'm analyzing it adversarially. But I could very easily see these situations happening emergently. Central HVAC in the main house, then an addition/office/etc that gets a mini split or even its own ducted HVAC. So sure, main AC gets set back 5 degrees but then you're still hot, so just kick the office AC on high and leave the door open.

Also jumpering over a low voltage thermostat takes like 5 minutes tops, and could be easily done by the type of tech enthusiast early adopter that would be interested in programs like these. And it only takes someone getting too hot once to try it, and then just continue doing it routinely. Never mind people for which the few bucks a year is significant.
> This bill would, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and before January 1, 2026, impose an annual tax at a rate of 1.5% of a resident of this state’s worldwide net worth in excess of $1,000,000,000, or in excess of $500,000,000 in the case of a married taxpayer filing separately. The bill would, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, impose an annual tax at a rate of 1% of a resident’s worldwide net worth in excess of $50,000,000, or in excess of $25,000,000 in the case of a married taxpayer filing separately. The bill would also impose, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, an additional tax at a rate of 0.5% of a resident’s worldwide net worth in excess of $1,000,000,000, or in excess of $500,000,000 in the case of a married taxpayer filing separately. The bill would describe worldwide net worth with reference to specific federal provisions and would provide that worldwide net worth does not include specific assets, including personal property situated out of state, directly held real property, or liabilities related to directly held real property. The bill would also authorize the Franchise Tax Board to adopt regulations to carry out these provisions, including regulations regarding the valuation of certain assets that are not publicly traded. The bill would require new certifications by taxpayers, made under penalty of perjury. By expanding the crime of perjury, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

> This bill would establish the Wealth Tax Advisory Council. The bill would require the council to determine an adequate level of annual funding and staffing for the administration and collection of the wealth tax imposed by this bill. The bill would provide specific guidelines for what constitutes adequate levels of annual funding and staffing for the administration and collection of a wealth tax. The bill would establish 2 continuously appropriated funds in the State Treasury to cover the expenses of the administration and collection of the wealth tax. Under the bill, the funds would be funded by the greater of either a specified amount or a certain percentage of revenues estimated to be generated by the wealth tax. By establishing new continuously appropriated funds, this bill would make an appropriation.
I remember stack ranking back in the '70s where managers had to fill the low performer quota.
I prefer not to use defer at all in these cases. It’s too confusing. Just put the stuff that you would do between the defer and the end of the function in another function. It’s almost always clearer.
Regardless of the number, getting paid for your labor & skills is not "privilege". Employees at Google are getting fleeced by the corporation and its shareholders just like the rest of us are by ours. Remember the big tech poaching scandal from a decade ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Tech_Employee_Antitrust_L...)?
Short term knee jerk reaction. Most people in the world with broadband connections still don’t have streaming TV, but everyone wants to watch shows and movies. Netflix is best positioned, focused, and has a stellar leadership team.

Transparency, so you know what the government is taxing.
That farmer might be happier though.
Everything in this guy's takedown of Google management is more or less endemic to human nature. It's not a Google thing. It's not a Silicon Valley thing. If you have a group of more than 25 people doing almost anything you'll see some version of the same story play out. A truly inspired and energetic leader can slow it down as well as a foolish one will bring it on quicker but it's still inevitable.

On Intel clients, this is done via the Management Engine, bypassing both the CPU and operating system, as the ME can control display output.
I need multiple nodes for redundancy, not because it can't fit on one. And preferably at least 3 for quorum too.
If I applied this strategy I would quickly be fired. All of the things that my management chain finds valuable are not things which are valuable to the product (mostly, planning and producing as work output JIRA tasks, spreadsheets, timetables, etc.). Actually working on things valuable to customers is seen as a necessary evil, a game we play to score the primary work output, i.e. plans.
> I can't make myself do that.

Then don't. Or maybe you subconsciously don't want to do the work or have no good ideas. That's OK. But I can't see how this cynical attitude serves you otherwise.

As a reminder YC's mantra is "build something people want". There are plenty of now wealthy people on this forum that did that. Some never even had to do marketing because customers were so happy.

Part of that is because “average class size” is used in metrics for the university ranking systems and every university out there wants to game those rankings.
No clue why this is getting downvoted, maybe by people working in said business who are coping over this

Source: Worked in TV news my whole life, with lots of time in news helicopters.

The audio signal is split left and right with the announcer on one and the telemetry on the other, it's easy to have some telemetry bleed over into the voice channel.

The antenna on the helicopter is programmed to always point at any one receive antenna and the receive antenna uses that data to track the helicopter to maintain line-of-sight for the video feed.

I believe many use cases of this have migrated to fully digital signal chains so the days of the weird audio may be ending.
Wow, I actually did zoom in on the icons and tried to remember that software not to use. That is a horrible design/layout choice. Glad I read this comment.

But I still wouldn’t install Clean My Mac, it shows up in the slimy parts of the web too often for me to think it’s legit.
And there is a perfectly secure way of having FileVault always on by default, and by rotating the keys, you are effectively "destroying" all the data on them anyway, with the bonus of not physically harming anything.

Unless, cryptography itself is broken... which would bring much wider-scale problems than destroying information on old drives anyway.
That strategy of backing an unkempt leader to protect against someone worse never backfired for the US before, right?
The PS Vita is an apt point of comparison - a beautiful piece of hardware that performed fantastically (and in my opinion much more impressive for its time than the steam deck) - that is considered to have been a complete failure.
In most cases it is wrong choice unless your business is selling raspberry pi hosting I guess
I am currently attempting to cobble together one of these of my deceased mother, whom I have years of text messages and all her journals (thousands of pages) plus audiotapes, which she left all to me.

Whether my brothers choose to participate, I do not care; it is not their decision, I am doing this locally on my own hardware (so the world doesn't learn her sufferings) and am really just curious. We'll see if she can continue giving great advice, years beyond her grave =D
