The argument for this being opt-in isn't about "it works better", it is about it being ethically correct. There are a ton of things that "don't work" unless you do something unethical: that doesn't mean they are OK, it doesn't mean they should be tolerated, and it doesn't mean the people who do them--and, at the end of the day, it is people who make these decisions: there is a human being who refused to say "no" and whose name we might even be able to find out--shouldn't be judged by their peers for doing these things... and that is all true even if it is (currently) legal for them to do it!!
Generally planes do the initial contact to airports on the approach frequency and get handed over to the appropriate next frequency as needed. The frequencies are set and static for a particular airport with alternatives available if there's some issue with the standard one. AFAIK planes are told which frequencies to contact on the whole way by whatever previous controller had them.
Proton (WINE) Is Not an Emulator. And Rosetta is a semi-dynamic translation layer. Both have pretty impressive performance on their own, with many Rosetta-translated programs running faster than a high-spec Intel machine. So there's no reason this combination couldn't exist or provide a good experience.

Generally, 7th-gen console era games and earlier can often play at 1080p60, 4k30, or 4k60 depending on the demands. Newer games make compromises. FSR and TSR (upscaling from lower internal resolutions) effectiveness depends on the game.
No moral objection to the content, only ethical. I don’t care what beliefs you have, I simply think it’s irresponsible to parrot — or provide a platform for parroting — unsubstantiated claims. The beauty of Hacker News, and my enjoyment of it, is that it’s moderated and I don’t often see content like this.

I honestly panicked reading this! At first I was under the impression that this was breaking news. And if true it has major implications. But that’s a really big if. It wasn’t until I read the article that it became obvious I was being manipulated to believe a narrative without evidence. The most disingenuous part of the article is that it starts with a bold claim presented as truth, and then immediately includes two sentences about the White House denying the claim before jumping into thousands of words of hearsay and a story presented as fact. As if to say, “what you’re about to read is a story, and you should know that, but you have to be smart enough to parse between the lines to see that — and I’m avoiding stating it directly so that I can get away with writing the story the way I want to write it on the chance it’s true.”

Substantiate the claims and I’ll rescind criticism. I like to believe I’m a thoughtful and relatively apolitical person, I just have a visceral reaction to being manipulated in this way (bold claim, no evidence) and I’d hope other people share the same standards.
No official or well supported narrative does not mean you should jump on whatever narrative is out there or offered. Be open minded, but not so open your brain falls out
Topics with unknown or unknowable answers are regularly discussed here. Curiosity in the face of uncertainty is pretty much what this place is about.

Whether it turns out to be true or false, this article is interesting right now.

If it’s true, for obvious reasons.

If it’s false, for what it says about Hersh, and a myriad of followup questions that arise.

Maybe the problem is public engagement. 25 years ago I would get a newspaper in the morning to read on the train. If something made me really mad, I could write a letter to the editor. It probably wouldn't be selected for publication. I could read the handful of other letters to the editor that were published that day, and if anything those people had to say made me mad, well, this is my stop, time to go to work aaaaand I've forgotten all about that thing that made me mad.

Maybe we don't need this. At all.

Just going to point out that Unity games last year generated over several billions in revenue (largely on the strength of Genshin Impact), and at this point in its lifecycle Unity games were already generating several hundred million in revenue across multiple platforms.

Godot games collectively have generated a few million in its entire lifespan, and most of that was the Sonic Colors re-release.

Godot is great if you want an open-source game engine for a hobby project. It's not so great if you want a commercial game engine for a game you intend to actually release (the one major commercially released game using Godot was a buggy mess). So in that respect, it's like Gimp vs Photoshop (or Affinity), it's a 5: you choose Godot for ideological reasons but not for technological or business reasons.

If you want 2D games, go with GameMaker. If you want 3D games, go with Unity for mobile or Unreal for console, or either for PC.
I often go to WireCutter before I even look elsewhere, but it's a hassle. Amazon and Etsy should be at least partially responsible for policing what is being sold on their sites. They are not helpless victims.
The EU politicians may have expected to declare an unprecedented economic war on Russia while the latter dutifully continued to fulfill its gas contracts to the EU. Seems plausible given the geopolitical mastery the EU posesses.

But does anyone else actually believe that? The other contract party trying to destroy your economy is a pretty good reason to terminate a contract. Failing that Russia could keep inventing problems with turbines. Or sabotage the pipelines somewhere one can more easily repair them.

I do remember how several media organizations and politicians from the EU jumped at accusing Russia with zero proof. Once the media mania subsided several US newspaper reported that indeed there was no proof whatsoever and they had jumped to conclusions.

The later conspicuous silence from EU governments on a potential culprit, lack of evidence pointing at Russia and several statements from acting US politicians threatening NS and gloating over its demise plus a former Polish politician thanking the US certainly don’t do anything to clear the US from suspicion. Still, this remains all circumstantial evidence.

But not even this kind of circumstantial evidence exists pointing to Russia as culprit. Just far-fetched theories about them wanting to dodge contract penalties or doing it to show that they can. This is as credible as them doing it as an experiment to see what happens when you blow up a pipeline, really.
> (...) and his reputation is evidence that there is substance to the claim.

No it isn't. The guy's reputation is reason to give the benefit of the doubt, but either his claims are proven sound or else they are just as bullshit if Joe blow himself made them.
Even if you manage to postpone buying a printer, needing one can still be inevitable. You asked "why would you buy a defective-by-design piece of junk", the answer is buying anything else seems to be impossible. Holding on to whatever you bought 10-20 years ago does not solve the problem going forward.

HN has been host to all sorts of articles so to see the storm this article has raised is telling.

Do people realise that once the article is on the internet, removing it from HN is self censorship, the equivalent of pretending something doesn’t exist?
>For people who are saying "thankfully HN is different!", it really isn't.

Yes it is. HN's moderation is run by HN. The rules are applied consistently because there are are no third party mods or rules. People know what to expect and that builds community better.

You don't have to wonder if some edgelord mod is going to get home from school and delete your post based on their mood.
Agreed. As an aside, I find it interesting that people are willing to attribute cultural differences to disparate outcomes in this context, but not in other contexts like racial income disparities.
I was happy to see the callout of the GPD win series - these days there are a lot of options for handheld gaming PCs, but for a long time, GPD was the only game in town.

I don't have a Steam Deck yet, but I've probably done more gaming on my various GPD devices than on my beefy desktop computer or any other device, with the possible exception of the Gameboys I had when I was a kid.
Some IBM POWER and mainframe microarchitectures have hardware support for decimal floats.

Acceleration for binary fixed precision was (still is I guess) common in DSPs. Not decimal fixed though.

I lost track of which extensions Intel provides, but I wouldn't be surprised if something was available.
I never said "It's possible, therefore it's true". All of your "debunks" are relying on the claims being prima facie absurd. I provided some evidence, and can provide more, of historical precedent.

The last one in particular is deeply embarassing and shows the Vox blogger has little grasp of history.
The problem is, the bird is supposedly named after the country, and that if the country had changed/clarified its name, so should the bird, against Turkish intent.
GOFAST: The plane traveled at half a speed of sound, speed of wind or a goose is insignificant in comparison. This guy claims he found exact trajectory of a goose from a handful of pixels and numbers on the screen that don't have required precission. Did you notice his 'analysis' doesn't have error bars? That's because they would be very large. It's basically a guy who measures one thing to be 3, other to be 7. Divides those values and draws conclusions from the digit at 6th decimal place.

So he really has no idea how fast goose traveled.

His second objection is that the object was cold in IR (compared to water in the background) which is perfecly consistent with a bird travelling at 2.5 km which is well insulated to be able to fly so high because it's obviously colder up there than at sea level.

FLIR: I see no specific objection and no explanation for why this object looks exactly like other IR recordings of planes from behind where hot exahaust washes out the image and why would speeding off at the end should be rather explained by object violating laws of physics than camera loosing tracking.

GIMBAL: No explanation why the object should show any rotation in sync with camera rotation which proves its shape and angle is optical artifact. Again objections are to details which cannot be accurately established. With complete disregard of the main argument.

What people say that DoD says or doesn't say about it is just heresay. Videos are the data. The only actual data we have.

Goose, plane from behind, and posssibly a debris field of space junk are currently best actually scientific explanations of the data that consists of those 3 videos.

I'm not refusing to address anything, but I'm beginning to think I started a discussion about ufos with avid ufologist. So I don't guarantee I'll still find it worthwhile to respond to your next message if it comes.
I am almost completely certain that neither Google Sheets, nor Excel use that "big number crunching GPU" for anything float-related.

Just getting the data to the GPU for a compute shader to run on it would take longer than just doing on the CPU in almost every case.
Thanks! It looks like that was added in Swift 3. That was a long time ago. I guess I’m just really old ;)
yeah I'm sure the US and probably European governments know exactly what happened. Also if Russia did do it, its officially an attack on NATO and requires a response? It makes sense that USA/Europe didn't officially blame Russia with evidence.
This reminds me of when I asked ChatGPT to construct a simple encryption scheme that increments each letter by one character:

A = B

B = C

...

Z = A

After explicit instructions were given and repeated back to me, I asked it to encrypt several 5 to 10 word sentences, which it consistently screwed up. Not terribly, but one or two words max, with no particular pattern that I could immediately see. I pointed out the issue and tried getting it to adjust to the correct answer, but it kept insisting that it was correct. I gave up soon after.
The CBC is well noted for how extreme of a bias it has, especially compared to other public broadcasters such as BBC or PBS.

Most public broadcasters lean a bit left but are somewhere in the median. CBC is not.

Being a public broadcaster does not exempt you from criticism.

Unfortunately it's not that simple. The flagging system works well, arguably better than the upvoting system does, but you can't just rely on these systems in an unsupervised way—it leads to suboptimal outcomes. Another way of putting this is that moderation is necessary to jig the software+community systems out of their failure modes.

You can of course argue that I've made a wrong call in this case, but the point I'm making here is different: you need moderators who make judgment calls, including to override flags sometimes. And of course no one is ever going to get the calls 100% right; we have failure modes too.
I never claimed that. You did. I refuted that it was "vastly different levels of interest" and supported my counterclaims while you did not.
They could allow public access to that data. That can help more people than just the Go team, and it would add transparency.
Thanks, looks much better. Ideally we could choose the two colors from a set of four or five colors.

Another option would be to use different forms, e.g. a round stone combined with a square one.

Anyway, nice game!

Microsoft taking control of a computer you bought and paid for remotely to force it to do what they want is in no way comparable to a health issue and I really don't understand what could possibly lead you to believe it is.
> not physically but still

That's precisely the point, isn't it?

"We will put an end to X" does not mean "we will physically blow up X". Pretending Biden had an "oops, we're gonna do a terrorist attack against Russian and German infrastructure and I said it out loud at a press conference!" moment and that there's no other legitimate explanation for the statement is just goofy.
Many badly-envisioned schools restrict access to AP classes or even AP tests, instead of letting kids follow their passions and meeting demand.
You can get a definitive, authoritative answer if you ask the question correctly, but years of search engines show that people are really, really, really bad at asking questions well.

Look - I'm not really a Windows fan (almost exclusively on linux these days) but they ARE providing advertised features.

Like - honestly - the machine is a fresh install of Windows, what exactly is the data you think is being exfiltrated? In most cases... there's just nothing there.

At best, someone now knows that ip x.x.x.x is running windows version y.y.y.y, and possibly that the user account is z. And honestly - all of those pieces of information are actually reasonable to send when providing advertised features (such as weather data in widgets, or local news).

There's literally just nothing else on the device to grab yet... There's no browsing data, there's no app usage data, there's no documents generated.

It's a blank fucking OS outside of the MS account you signed on with.

So again - without talking about the actual data in the requests (and not just a dns record...) this isn't really a helpful conversation to have.
it doesn’t understand how it works. it doesn’t understand anything.
I can’t help but feel like our brains didn’t evolve to understand the scale of competing against thousands of others to get admitted to college slots and get jobs. Once the internet opened the world to make comparisons against the hierarchy of everyone online, compared to a once much smaller local community, lots of mental issues have shot up. Things like body dysmorphia, imposter syndrome, etc…it just doesn’t seem like our brains can handle the scale of the hierarchy now. That’s just a personal theory of course
It’s probably worth adding here that according to a quick google search - the cost of Nordstream2 project is $11B. So one might imagine that the costs of potential repairs are negligible in comparison.

I don't subscribe to Hersh's narrative but one cannot say that it does not present some intriguing content and gets the discussion flowing.
You're in a bubble. It's nowhere near that hard to get into non-elite universities, which the vast majority of college-bound students attend. Just keeping your grades up and doing well on a standardized test will get you into a good (well-regarded in at least some fields, very well-known at least regionally) state school—and the ones in the next couple tiers under that are even more lax. Then there are community colleges—ask nicely and they'll probably let you in at least on a probational basis, even if your grades were incredibly bad in high school and you don't have much else going for you.

And that's for the students that go at all.

[EDIT] Incidentally, from tales told by my various teacher friends, the students who genuinely have crazy-busy schedules are almost always the ones who are extremely into playing two or more sports. Even half-serious participation (so, maaaaybe gunning to play college ball, plus the mostly-delusional but fairly-common parental aspirations of having a pro-league kid) means being in a league that makes you travel a lot, and lots and lots of practice, for each sport, plus extra training camps and shit like that. I believe tales of some schools where the students are stressed over academics and non-sports extracurriculars (plus the single requisite sport to keep Harvard from binning your application) but out in the vast reaches of non-elite America, only a few students have very-high schedule pressure, and most (not all, but most) of those are because of a strong focus on sports.
The problem with any condition that says "Must be used legally" is that by implication you're supporting the law of every country in the world.
That's definitely still a concern. My guess is you'll start to see private, paid tiers of LLM providers emerge soon.
hmm - I didn't get that read about the author at all.

In fact the whole premise of the article (comparing moderation policy differences between different subreddits) - would suggest they totally understand that reddit moderators aren't all pulled from one homogeneous pool of employees.

I think the "site wide" bit was actually brought up by the moderator - referring to the fact that the /r/moviedetails moderation checks your full post history across all of reddit (not just your behavior on /r/moviedetails) and bans you from their subreddit based on that.
If the youtube / twitch star tells them to check out a movie, you will have to take them to see it 12 times.
I wish there was something the law would do about legalese that says something obvious. The terms only use for legal things should be understood already, and this illegal to waste the users time with. People reading a contract should feel like it is important to read the contract because it says something they wouldn't be sure of. When the contract just says what you already know it is a waste of everyone's time and the writer should be penalized for that.

Note, I also think EULAs should be individually negotiated and signed. If the limits on use of the program are something other than what the law (possibly fair use) already says I should have a lawyer involved on my side.
It is not posix anything. It provides a compatibility layer that makes open, close, read, and write work but other than that does not provide the type of features that would allow you to deliver mail on it with qmail or whatever. It is incredibly misleading to advertise it that way.

As you say there is no free lunch with distributed filesystems. Application programmers have to program their way around the fact that something like posix atomic writes with multiple writers is never going to work, and that the only way to get reasonable efficiency out of the thing is to defer work until the file is closed.
Decimals are notoriously hairy to implement and it's not obvious how they should behave when they run out of precision. Integers are almost always the better choice when the decimal is fixed, such as with currency.

(I guess it depends on what you mean by "true" decimal. If you meant BigNum, then sure.)
