Exempting Open Source from Standard-Essential Patents (SEPs)
First professional software development I did, we didn't even have hard drives or networking. Luckily I was the only developer and it wasn't a huge problem.

First place I worked with other people, we at least had hard drives. I don't think we had networking on the machines or version control. For sure there was only one or two machines in the office that could reach the Internet. Mostly only one person could work on a file at a time.

When we did get more employees, a LAN, and version control a few years on, the mid-1990s Microsoft version control software was such a piece of junk it mostly amounted to a formal digital system specifying who the one person who could work on a given file was...
Some of us still remember the golden years of doing the same but with jQuery snippets spread through hundreds of files with zero logical connection between them except in the developer's mind.
Well, you kinda do?

It doesn't really matter what you want your product to do. It's what people do with your product. Intentions are easy to fake, it's the outcomes that people care about.
Of course TikTok makes money from advertisers so I'm sure they will catch up soon and start deprioritising this stuff in their algorithms.
What would be a better word/phrase in this case?
The OS the one-laptop-per-child machine used was capable of this - it could sleep, with the screen either on or off, between keystrokes and network packets. Lots of the network stack was moved into the always-on network hardware, so it could for example participate in the mesh network while powered off.

Sadly the whole project folded (for mostly non-tech reasons), taking most of it's cool tech with it.
it's just surreal how disinterested the US is at doing a good job of some things these days. big weapons systems? sure. tax cuts? sure. doing basic stuff like "regulating and checking up on how people move massive quantities of toxic chemicals"? no.
It was under emergency legislation. Account freezing can’t just happen out of the blue.
There are tools out there that let you reconfigure the flash controller to have less overprovisioning. You're losing reliability this way of course, but if you want to get exactly 16'000'000'000 bytes out of the stick there are ways to accomplish this.
Maybe. But there are so many biases that could impact it.

Smaller and poorer companies to begin with will have lower revenue and reduce office spend.

It's really hard to account for all of these biases.
I can't afford a new camera right now, even though my current one is over a decade old, and I would really like a new one. My phone is also several years old and I can't afford to replace it on a whim either.

I make a fraction of what a typical IC in silicon valley might, and I'm not what you'd categorise as "rich" by any means. Middle class, more like.

My point is that I've seen people that only fly first-class put phones in plastic cases.
You're talking about issues feedback, but this thread is about issues resolution.
This is one of those projects that I question the utility of, but which I think is endlessly cool and a fun demonstration of artistry for art's sake and as a demonstration of love for an idea.

Well it's paywalled and blogspam around an original source which is https://www.platformer.news/p/yes-elon-musk-created-a-specia... which you'd know if you read the article.

Again it seems like testing rather than ego. Shame of you to promote it as such.
I bought two of the same model from the same retailer and the other one reported the exact same capacity.
In the last few months the mention of Datalog has increased, I wondered how it differed from graph databases and found a clear answer in SO [1]. I am not an incumbent but found graph databases and clause approaches interesting.

I just take it as given that they all do, and you just need to examine the source code to see where and how.
Probably something like IPFS ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterPlanetary_File_System ) or BitTorrent. However i do not know if there is a system that would support direct http(s) access.

I have similar feelings about the EFF after a few years ago they blatantly misrepresented a bill and used a bunch of anti Trump propaganda to do it.

Basically all of the EFF lawyers are in real tight with the Library of Congress, which happens to have some oversight issues (as in they have almost none) that bipartisan efforts in Congress are trying to correct. I forget the exact details but basically there was an appointed position with no accountability to anyone that Congress was at least trying to make replaceable by the Executive branch.

The EFF ran all kinds of FUD through their mailing lists to try to keep the position unaccountable to anyone, which in my opinion is behavior running in direct oppoisition to the second letter in their acronym.
Android can do this - the linux kernel goes into suspend-to-ram while the network is still up. If someone sends you a tweet, the cloud messaging service wakes the OS with a TCP packet, which eventually causes the "ding" notification that Musk has said something again...

I just meant that QUIC/H3 is beneficial even after you already have a connection, so upgrading an existing connection is a valid strategy. TurboTLS is only beneficial for establishing the connection, so it needs to have prior knowledge about the support to be useful at all.
Are you sure?

> I optimize directly for the hardware I'm running on, which typically gives me 10-100x performance improvements. Controlling how memory is managed is critical.

> What makes you think you can't control how memory is managed in Rust?

> Arguably, Rust does make a number of memory layouts (self referential structs, per struct allocators, non thread local addresses, etc) much harder to accomplish than "typing unsafe".

So basically, the right question would be "can you explain what you mean that Rust can't control how memory is managed"?

Because the author knew, the Rust supporter didn't and confused "work in progress" with "I need it now because I'm using it now in production in my daily job"
I did not buy mine from Amazon, I was ordering other things from a local IT retailer and had room in the budget for two of these USB sticks. The price made sense in this context for me and I had little use for that extra space.
Nicola Sturgeon to resign as Scotland's first minister
Its not suprising, but it answers the question "Do Large Language Models learn world models or just surface statistics?" - OthelloGTP is not using some weird trick to come up with the next move "G4". You can imagine some sort of shortcut trick where you say "use a letter thats near the middle of the bell curve of letters you've seen so far, and a number thats a bit to the left of the bell curve" or something. Its not using a weird trick, its actually modelling the board, the counters, and the rules about where the black and white discs are allowed to go, and keeping track of the game state. It derived all that from the input.

Seems like it is though.
Did I?

I took better photos by putting my camera into places where it could (and did!) take a little damage.

Its purpose is to take photos, not to remain pristine.
I think that's a lot of the point here. They won't be starting with that customer base if most of that customer base leaves because of these changes (which I think a significant portion of them may).
I would expect the same for smartphones and computers.

it was really frustrating back in the times, when your brand new 8GB android smartphone only had 1 GB of free space out of the box
(The 8GB edition of the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua only had 1.25GB of space for the user !)

Nowadays, devices have larger memories. But an android with mandatory apps and 'necessary data', or a Windows 11 can take around 20GB away.
It can't be neglected on low end systems. There are still devices with 32, 64 or 80GB out there ! (your redmis or galaxy A XX)

Since most smartphone manufacturers won't let you use another OS or a custom ROM, all of that space should be reserved for them, and not advertised to the customer !
It's the same for computers. Most users buy the computer with the Windows, and will never replace it.
Good Take.

I already though it would be really weird if the flash ship is really smaller.

Language is how people demonstrate that they have a good theory of mind. Solving these tasks is a proxy for people's internal theories. Language is a good way to demonstrate that ChatGPT has a good statistical model for what token comes next. Humans are not good at solving TOM tasks because they're good at guessing what token comes next, ChatGPT is not good at solving them because is has a good TOM. They're different inside.
As an Englishman, I've been impressed with how mature and competent the Scottish leaders have seemed in comparison with their English counterparts; I don't know if it's a systemic or cultural thing (or just my imagination), but as a representative of that tendency I'm sad to see her go.

If I were making a startup involving anything hardware/physical/analog material then yes in-person for sure, I'd let some work remotely but fly them in when needed. The in-person network+agency+build effects is too demoted, sometimes just you can't beat the effectivity and efficiency of being close to one another.

I don't have an answer for your 10 yrs outlook.

Having spent time in developing countries, for atleast a quarter of the year, recently I still have not found the consistency of agency comparable to what we have in the US. There's a lot of factors that play into that could be another thread in itself. I did meet and see a lot of American expats/educated/-background people who were largely magnets and hubs of innovation for some of these developing/lower COL areas. And I have and do applaud them for their tenacity and work but the network effects still end up fighting/resisting them locally. So to answer I think there will not be a bias towards remote workers in macro scale and I think could be bias towards remote workers being the hub of innovation in very specific niches, only one I can think of right now is vehicular and automotive design is but I could be bias.

Keen to discuss more!
A programmable thermostat has been a basic part of any central heating system in Britain for over 40 years, probably longer. They are essentially timer switches.

One from 1980 would have a 24 hour clock face and two or four coloured pegs at the edge, labelled "on" and "off". You slide the pegs to the time you want the heating to turn on and off. If you have four pegs, there's a switch to use only the first pair, second pair, or both.

That was easily sufficient to set the heating to be on in the morning, off as everyone goes to work/school, on again in the evening, and off at night.

The more modern equivalent has a digital display and badly labelled buttons, and in reality is much more fiddly to use.

If these aren't also normal in American houses then I'm shocked at the waste of energy.

You can see both types here: http://www.gasapplianceguide.co.uk/Danfoss/Danfoss%20Heating...

Removing cash at least would have one or two elections between the ban and it taking effect.
In my experience, it doesn't handle "unusual" boot disks well. For example, images not using GRUB / ISOLINUX, or the usual modern windows bootloader. I've had issues with Haiku OS and Redox OS for some examples. I still keep a VenToy disk for most uses, and another one for when VenToy doesn't work
Same. I put my startup on a different platform because of things like this. I’m not a crypto bro but I strongly hope crypto eventually develops into a system where I can just get a direct payment from my users without a pearl-clutching middleman like Stripe / Paypal / whatever.
After what I saw happening in Canada now I keep a bunch of cash stashed away. Still I pay for everything via card/e-payment, a bad habit I would say as that makes removing cash easier for the state - most will not even notice it too much.
At least in the original simcity, as a path was made it was pushed to a stack. If the route didn't reach a destination, the stack was popped and intersections tried again. At least that's what I get from these https://lively-web.org/users/Dan/uploads/SimCityReverseDiagr... Was this changed in 2k?
Hey wow remember those rail strikes a couple months back? The ones where none of the media talked about what the workers wanted except for allegedly-dubious demands for "sick days"?

A lot of years ago, before entering college, my father was working in an aluminium melting plant in western Norway for a year. Being young and fit, he was able to work quite fast.

Shortly after starting, he was approached by the local Union bosses, and sternly told to slow down. Not only did he make everone else look bad, if people worked that much, that would lead to layoffs.

Not wanting trouble with the Union, he and his pal switched to only working about 4 hours each night (it was usually night shifts) and then sleep the remaining 4 hours of the shift.
ChatGPT Tries to Write 6502 Assembly
Yes, the margin for potatoes is there because potatoes are discrete. A single potatoe weighs something around 100-300 grams, so hitting exactly 1kg is not that trivial. But bytes are bytes. If it says 16GB, I want at least 16GB.
I read that as VenToy being relatively new to them, compared to years of using a stick per OS, and they'not found enough time to play to prove it would work in all circumstances they might need/want it to.

You and me both, I really like it. A local cocktail place (“bar který neexistuje” - the bar which doesn’t exist) came out with a twist on the Moscow Mule a while back called the “Mezcal Mule” which are very more-ish :-)

And I legit love Chacha. I drank it a lot in Georgia and brought a bunch back home with me. I particularly love how most little shops sold it homemade and distributed in reused bottles of Coca Cola etc.
The local telco store had an advertisement for a certain mobile phone contract in the store window with "up to 50 MB/s or more!".

What happened in Canada? Their banknotes froze due to the extreme cold?
I'm confused by the report from F3 probe even for the "good" one.

It says:

Device geometry:
*Usable* size: 14.91 GB (31266816 blocks)
Announced size: 14.91 GB (31266816 blocks)
Module: 16.00 GB (2^34 Bytes)

So why it's only 14.91? I assume it uses GiB (1024) -- but then, why "Module" is 2^34 B? Shouldn't it also be 16000000000 B or 14.91 GB?

I don’t entirely disagree with you, but I would argue the change should come from the government directly with the tax code, not the companies themselves.

The tax code is an arbitrary set of constraints to an optimization problem that startups are solving to maximize the value of the money (and its runway) that has been invested into them. And with such a high startup failure rate in general, I can’t blame them for using the available levers to make that funding go as far as possible, even if that results in strange ways of incentivizing employees.

Hi Sam, I just got a personal email from you and my account is being re-enabled. I just want to underline the fact that I did send 3 different appeals and they all got refused, and it seems that HN is the only way to get attention from Stripe. I like Stripe but is getting painful to deal with this sort of support. Thanks for looking at my case personally!
Dunno if it was Harvard as a whole, but a couple of years ago I read a rapport that Harvard feeds roughly 66% of all their grads into Finance, Management Consulting, Big Law, and Tech - basically elite white-collar jobs - despite only around 25% of their student mass studying anything related to those fields.

I guess most Harvard grads go where the money is.

EDIT: But a bit more related to the OP, when I studied EE (undergrad) in a college with close ties to the oil and gas industry, we were all wined and dined by big oil for the last 2 years.

During one of those dinner events, hosted by a big service company, they told us to just sign our names and major on a form they passed around - if we did that, we'd get a job offer in the mail a week later. Some of the larger oil (production) companies guaranteed free housing for the first two years, and they'd cover 50% of the mortgage for 5 years if we decided to purchase a house. That was on top of a high starting salary w/annual bonuses.

Should be mentioned that this was during the height of a boom cycle.

My experience has been that most of the time you don’t tell DuckDB to insert data. One is expected to point DuckDB to an existing data file (parquet, csv, json with this new release, etc.) and either import/copy the data into DuckDB tables, or issue SQL queries directly against the file.

Think of it as a SQL engine for ad-hoc querying larger-than-memory datasets.

Seems a fair question. In a private banking context, it would potentially eliminate the need to pay escrow fees to a third party, without resorting to massively inefficient public ledgers. In the context of e.g. stock trading, it might mean that a traditional bank can connect buyers and sellers over a peer to peer connection and guarantee that their trades execute in order without even needing a centralized book. That's maybe a slightly extreme take, and probably a ways off. But I think anonymity is the least important of what becomes available if you can trust client-side processing.
I think it can definitely help overcome the "mental block" that we (I?) face sometimes when staring at a task list. If something is too hazily defined, even an incorrect breakdown of the task can help me spur into action.
I'm not OP, but I've had all sorts of bad experiences getting "non-official" bootable USB media to work properly, in various edge-cases and weird hardware.

And by "official", I mean an .iso or .img directly dd'ed onto a drive - this is the setup that I've found to be most reliable.

I haven't tried Ventoy, and I suspect things are slightly nicer these days now that EFI has matured, but I'm personally not prepared to spend any longer than necessary debugging why my bootable USB isn't working properly.
Parent comment is right. Whether they monitor social media or not, it is only needed because their official support channel failed and shut the door on their customers. So they're here to pick up the pieces for PR. If this forum was not full of entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs what might one day be a larger customer/partner to stripe, I'm not sure they'd show up here. It makes me very hesitant to use stripe at any considerable scale.

Why is it that we don't see 1+ posts/month regarding AWS? Seems to me that there is an incentive to closing cases in companies like stripe, regardless of actual resolution.
updated the image to hide them, thanks!
why they dont make public apps?(at least)
Actually from what I've seen is the best way to get someone to really care. I appealed 3 times, always rejected. I posted this and in 30 minutes my account was getting re-enabled.
I think allowing a small margin is fair, for the same reason as potatoes. When you manufacture a module some portion of the module will be unusable and disabled in testing.

In CPU-land this is done by manufacturers already - they manufacture many of the same generation of processor as the most performant version, and then test the individual items produced, disabling poorly constructed parts and downgrading the specification as they do it until they're left with a range of products at various performance points.
And not just that...

I'd mention ukraine, but even in peace time, there can be huge power outages in relatively large areas (as in US, more than one in the recent years), where point of sale terminals stop working, there is no internet connection to process the transaction, but exchanging a few bills, for whatever you need always works, even in the dark.

Also privacy... Want to buy a huge buttplug from a "Huge buttplug store ltd.", but your government could collapse in a few years and the new one might not like people (especially guys) using huge buttplugs? With cash, there's nothing to trace... with cards, the government can get a list of names in few seconds.
