Hence a handheld would have served well for small hit games, including backward compatibility with XONE/360, it could have also been a catalyzer for their cloud/online services and a bridge with PC gaming (they own windows), Nintendo is profiting from it since most of their catalog (except for their 1st party) comes from PC ports

That's exactly Valve's strategy with the Steam Deck, they are capitalizing on it, and it seems to be a good idea, that's unfortunate for xbox, maybe for the next gen
Yeah, I'd bet that this is what is happening. A few times in the offices of my workplaces I've seen cases of BT keyboards and mice randomly reconnecting to Macs they'd been paired with at some point in the past (even years back) and causing a short bout of chaos.
> An offence of making, modifying, supplying, offering to supply a specified article where a person has reasonable grounds to suspect that it will be used in any serious crime.

Looks broad enough to cover any object. I have reasonable ground to suspect that of all the hammers sold in the UK, some will be used to break a window. It would certainly catch exploit toolkits, even if their primary intended use is pen testing. How can you not suspect someone will use it to break in into some system? And VPNs, ISPs, etc.
I've seen some pretty dumb arguments linked here but that one takes the cake. The EPI graph isn’t measuring productivity vs. pay, even for "typical workers"; it’s measuring wage inequality. Umm yes it is a problem that wages for the vast majority of workers have stagnated; the possibility that some CEOs have done well doesn't counteract that. Also if they don't like the particular figures that "EPI" used, maybe they would prefer the Fed's research that shows exactly the same phenomenon using different data sources? [0]

Then there is some reference to Mankiw making some assumption about labor supply and demand being infinitely differentiable and continuous, as well as violating "Rule V" in the adjacent sidebar. Meanwhile the newly-constructed local Taco Bell has two employees, a closed dining room, and the drive-in queue starts on the road before the entrance to the parking lot. This is my shocked face, at Mankiw doing something dumb.

Essentially, we should not see 40 year runs of compensation lagging productivity due to some outsized returns to shareholders. That would likely reveal a structural problem in the labor market, at least by my understanding. "This would be a bad thing and our system is perfect so this accusation of badness must be wrong!" OK, Pollyanna. It would be inconvenient if the increased market concentration we see in every industry has given the remaining firms greater pricing power both as buyers of labor and inputs and sellers of products, so let's assume that didn't happen even though this graph clearly shows it.

Truth in advertising for this subreddit, it seems. Psychological commitment to the status quo yields unconvincing arguments plainly contradicted by public experience.

Don't be silly. Is your home's air filtered correctly? Did you scratch your face after touching a public doorknob? I hope you're not using "poetic drivel" to justify use of a gas stove when we know it leads to combustion byproducts in the air. You better be eating healthy all the time too, or else only copium is justifying your food choices.

Nobody is saying that cigarettes or nicotine is healthy. The warnings exist and are highly popular. Smoking bans in public places in the many US states are generally very popular in those states. The "poetic" poster talked about how cigarettes are bad multiple times. But as adults with full knowledge of the risks of something, these adults can still engage in these activities in ways that are not posing risks to other. That's what it means to be an adult.

The moral panic around secondhand smoke is what bothers a lot of smokers. Having smoked in the past I will often join smokers to outdoor areas where they smoke just to chat without partaking and the restrictions are often really difficult to work around so I understand where the opinion comes from, even though I'm a fan of the restrictions generally.

This whole story is kind of sad because crimephones don't even provide good security. Either they are easily hacked by the government or they're government honeypots from the beginning.
From what I have read [no1bc](https://no1bc.com) has been one of the more popular devices after the Sky ECC takedown, and it's basically just an iPhone with their special messaging app installed and an MDM setup to disable a bunch of settings and allow remote wipe. An iPhone is "commercially available" and some of these services even have their apps on the app store. Would that be a sophisticated encrypted communication device? It will be interesting to see what definition they come up with but it seems likely it will include some false positives.
Calling ChromeOS Linux is like calling Android Linux. It's barely passable in that it derives from it, but there are so many things different.

SteamOS has the benefit of being basically entirely open and modifiable. Heck, it has KDE Plasma for its desktop mode.

Perhaps even more exciting - you could write the documentation via a conversation with the chatbot, and it could ask further questions when it is unsure how to answer a user's query and even update the documentation when changes are noticed.

A suppressed .300 blackout subsonic round sounds like the movies. It’s unreal. The slide and mechanics of the gun are louder than the round. A rather large round, at that.
There’s also a micro-environment at play. Those 600 former employees likely worked across a bunch of different orgs for different product and management lines.

At that level, it probably represents some groups losing 25, 50 or even 100% of their team members.

So that 600 might not be consequential at the business level, but was probably devastating at the team level.
Oh sorry I forgot about how, statistically speaking, those who buy large vehicles can’t drive them and keep getting into wrecks, so they purchase an even larger one next time to feel safer.
This definitely sounds bad, but at least in custom services, I can imagine scenarios where it's not possible to give an accurate estimate before starting the actual work (and already incurring cost in the process).

There is just no justification at all for goods and services with a uniform sticker price, such as a meal in a restaurant. If you can program it into a POS, you can print it on the price tag.
And have someone lose out on $5k of your money? Sacrilege!
Yeah, no. This is HN and free software & open source are established terms of art in programming, and Elastic is neither free software nor open source software

Similarly this is the approach Sony took with the PS5. It accepts any sufficiently fast nvme drive via the standard connector - just plug it in and it works. No proprietary expansion card like Microsoft and Seagate are selling for the new Xbox.
I think drawing hands with 5 fingers is a reasonable ask for anything you want to label "intelligent". Back in the days of Lisp AI hype, you'd have expert systems told that human hands have 5 fingers.

If you want to avoid overselling, call it ML. The machine has learned to reproduce and combine patterns in images.
That's pretty crazy.
Sorry confused that with something else.

Still mass surveillance is OK for you?

Which mobile browser has 90%+ market share ala "peak" Internet Explorer in 2004?

I hate being limited to Safari on iOS, but iOS has < 30% market share worldwide. Additionally, browsers are (highly unfortunately IMO) less relevant than in ~2004 when IE had a stranglehold on things.

As I said, for everyone involved it is unfortunate, but the majority of people without power still choose not to be complicit in fraud.
There are superior visual representations of math as soon as you add specificity such that you can measure the difference between representations in terms of their impact or other property. Equation coloring according to semantics stands out as an example of this. Interestingly, this example already has wider adoption in code than it does in math. As someone who has tried to format a latex paper to have coloring and has not had to do the same for colored code, I can understand why. Yet if you look at KhanAcademy as an example, the technology lifts much of the burden from doing the coloring, so they do the coloring, because it helps to highlight the key ideas.

It can be a fun exercise and illuminating to go over equations you've written down and try to translate them to colored variants. The classification task forces your mind to more deeply engage with the equation and can improve understanding.
But the vendor needs to figure out the exact number anyway at checkout! It's not like they get to avoid the calculation effort this way.
Imagine a Godfather locked up on accurate drug charges ordering hits on his rivals using invisible ink? Introducing a digital layer reliably prevents all kind of exploits. If the issue is innocence, you are not going to solve this with half steps, in fact an innocent guy can end up being stabbed by a razor smuggled in a postcard. If people are guilty, they are still humans but we have no reason to trust them and need to protect ourselves from their potential bad intents as much as possible.
Thanks for pointing out the date, I was shocked at how un-woke it was for a mainstream news article.
There is a thing called hyperlexia where young children will teach themselves to read. My dad had it and I did too.

It's not a big deal even if it is rare, and it doesn't seem to correlate to life success or intelligence. My dad was good with numbers and above average intelligence, I'm good with numbers and gifted intelligence, but big whoop, no one cares.

The word is overloaded and the implication that emulator means ISA emulation is why Wine for a time adopted that expansion. It still very much emulates the Windows ABI and API.

Sounds like a good plan going off the limited details in the article. That said, I'll believe it when I see it. I remember when Seattle's Mayor Murray tried to make similar changes in the city, and how quickly the plan was rolled back[1]. This would be even more significant, impacting the whole state, and I imagine homeowners will be highly motivated to oppose it. Fingers crossed I'm wrong.

Yeah I wonder how long until they try the business model where the appliances are free, but you have to watch ads each time before you use them?
One of chatgpt's hidden parameters is what timerange of knowledge it can use to answer. I imagine implementing something similar for 'paging' through the plot could work well. Conversation starts at the beginning of the book and then either explicit syntax or revealing particular information in the conversation 'unlocks' further plot from the bot to draw answers from.

The idea of 'unlocking' information for a chatbot to use in answering feels very compelling for non-fiction as well. Ex. maybe the chatbot requires a demonstration of algebraic knowledge before it can draw from calculus in answering questions. Would feel kind of like a game 'achievement system' which could incentivize people exploring the extent of contained knowledge. And you could generate neat visual maps of the users knowledge.

Can't believe I missed this thread.

We put a lot of satire in to this, but I do think it makes sense in a hand wavy extrapolate in to the future kind of way.

Consider how many apps are built in something like Airtable or Excel. These apps aren't complex and the overlap between them is huge.

On the explainability front, few people understand how their legacy million-line codebase works, or their 100-file excel pipelines. If it works it works.

UX seems to always win in the end. Burning compute for increased UX is a good tradeoff.

Even if this doesn't make sense for business apps, it's still the correct direction for rapid prototyping/iteration.

It depends on which Nostr client you use? When you click on the "Tip" button it should give you couple options, like showing lightning QR code that you can scan with any lightning wallet, opening your wallet directly, or opening the extension (Alby is the main one).
I think it's important to note that the linked document does say this:

"...the prosecution would need to show that the accused had reasonable
grounds to suspect that the article they are making, modifying, supplying, offering to supply or possessing will be used in serious crime."

In other words, they're not proposing to criminalize "sophisticated encryption devices" except when associated with crime.

I think the HN headline is misleading by omitting this distinction.

It includes a tutorial, the 'Rocket Academy', that makes it easy for players to understand the game mechanics and start playing right away. The demo also allows players to experience the first steps of space colonization, from launching a Surveyor probe to the Apollo 11 mission, and more. I invite all space enthusiasts to download the demo and give it a try, any feedback is highly appreciated. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Ask HN: Next 5yr potential impact of AI on entertainment industry
Hi friends,

What impact AI can make to the entertainment industry for the next five years? By entertainment industry I mean gaming/movie/music.

I know that the following items are probably already accessible:

- AI change face/ imitate dead or living artists

- AI generation of art assets. How good are they for game development is debatable, but my friends who is an art director for a large Gamedev company said potentially we can setup AI nodes to guide art generation and this can seriously impact commercial art industry such as gamedev

- ChatGPT already shows potentials on programming simple programs. I don't know how long it takes for AI to generate gameplay code with some guidance

- AI generated music is already a thing

What do you think? I don't believe we will see GAI but even the techs nowadays are already very powerful. I don't worry that AI is going to take away certain jobs but I do think it can reduce headcounts.

The problem, of course, is that the government can never be trusted to keep within the boundaries they claim they'll set. Metadata retention went through in Australia and the meat inspectors wanted access to it; surveillance in the UK was used to spy on people who left their rubbish bins out; at the height of the pandemic, contact-tracing data (which was promised hand-on-heart to be for public health only) was used by the police for unrelated crimes.

TFA has an entire paragraph covering your question...

> Even without finding the plane, a number of lessons have been drawn from the disappearance of MH370. Many of the responses to the disappearance centered on the fact that in the 21st century, commercial airliners should not just disappear. In the interest of knowing where every plane is at all times, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) began requiring that all airliners manufactured after the 1st of January 2021 include autonomous tracking devices that broadcast their location once per minute. To give greater coverage of airplanes manufactured before that date, Inmarsat (which supplies satellite relays to nearly all commercial airliners) changed the frequency of its handshakes from once per hour to once every 15 minutes. The European Aviation Safety Agency began requiring that the “pingers” on aircraft flight recorders last at least 90 days, rather than 30. ICAO also amended its guidelines to require that airliner designs approved after 2020 include cockpit voice recorders that record 25 hours of conversations (instead of the current standard of two), and that flight data recorders either stream data to a location on the ground or be designed to float to the surface after a crash. (Like all ICAO regulations, these only come into force if adopted by the member states, which may take some time.)

Who said drugs are the only problem? How about handmade weapons (can cut someone's throat with a glass shard), hidden messages, non-hidden messages missed during inspection? Once things are digitized they can be investigated if something happens and anyone aiding criminal acts can be held responsible.

Inmates certainly have privacy to consult their lawyer. They should not have privacy to plan additional crimes with arbitrary people outside. If at some point we decide they earned an exception, that can be handled accordingly.
