1. Tony Blair suggesting an idea is, currently, one of the best way to discredit it immediately with the vast majority of the UK public. I wish that certain media outlets would stop pretending that people care about Blair (apart from the usual rethorical questions: "why does he still hold an OBE" and "why is he not in prison").

2. ID cards would be great in the UK, for consistency. Different places now want different type of ids (usually driving licence or passport) plus something else to prove your address (no, the one mentioned on the driving licence is not good enough).
> [...] Microsoft cloud gaming and consoles are a direct threat to [nvidia's] PC gaming market. [...] NVIDIA fears that the money train might stop.

They should be more afraid of killing the PC gaming market by pricing everyone and their grandmother out of it IMO. That's where that train is heading.
> They want a one size fits all process that produces results, if not optimally, at least consistently.

There's an additional perhaps even more important aspect contributing here: the sociality of language and shared values in technology as social communities.

IMO If it hadn't been agile it would have been something else; we build common understandings with the terminology we have available, in order for our activities to make sense.

It doesn't matter if the terminology is applied correctly, viz. adhering to the theory (although many escape this accusation by a tacking "hybrid" onto everything). What matters is practical applicability: when we use these terms we're more often understanding rather than misunderstanding each other.

So the terms are used in more abstract ways than intended. (E.g. agile as methodology in health bureaucracy is kinda weird.)
Activision-Blizzard was missing from GeForce Now for no reason (GeForce Now is a Windows PC after all). Assuring that gives Nvidia a massive popular library to hook players with.

Xcloud is a competitor yes but don’t forget GeForce Now caters to PC players, and they’re looking to stay on mouse and keyboard. Xcloud streams from a console and doesn’t support M&K except for a select few games that support that on a port-on-Xbox level. Even if/when Call of Duty/Overwatch arrives on Xcloud, PC players won’t stream it off Xcloud.
Battery-swapping EVs are all the rage in Taiwan. Will it work abroad?
Typical for a company that is stuck to be calling out what they should have been doing for the last decade as the thing to focus on. Basically he's promising more of the same.

What he should be doing is announce the next big thing. Which I imagine might include trendy things like tackling AI with some hardware/software stack that is energy and cost efficient and competitive with nvidia. Or a non intel architecture based chip intended for high end gaming/ar/vr type devices where energy efficiency and performance are going to matter more than compatibility with legacy PC hardware. AR is going to suck if you have to be tethered to a huge power supply or battery and carry a liquid cooling apparatus with you. This requires a different approach.

And even those things really should have been the focus for the last ten years. A slightly faster version of the thing they've been selling for the last ten years is not going to turn things around and there are only so many people still assembling PCs from parts that actually know and appreciate AMD as a brand.
The extraction process turns the oil rancid but it's supposedly okay because there is a process to remove the bad odor. The main concern is that when heated polyunsaturated fats convert to transfats which are bad; the article claims it's fine to cook with as you're renewing the oil frequently but I have doubts it's safe as they admit the process is still happening. Old fryer oil smells odly nasty - do you want even a fraction of that in your home cooking?

Anecdotally, a family member gets headaches from consuming uncooked sunflower oil but olive oil and other fats are fine. I noticed this years before the anti seed oil memes.

Virgin olive oil (not the mafia fake crap) is really great, as is beef tallow.
Yeah, that always works, of course, even though you might want to externalize certain dependencies still. In this case I don't want to bundle the code (although I might end up doing that, anyway)
Yeah that's a big part of the cause. What do you think of this phenomenon? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idaenam
Norway has a famous clothing brand simply named "Jean Paul". I've seen a lot of middle managers wearing clothes from this brand every single day. I've even worked with Norwegians thinking it was Jean-Paul Gaultier's own brand. This brand is unknown in France.

Meanwhile in France, every food which has (smoked) salmon on it will be called "Norwegian XXX". Pizza with salmon? It's a "pizza norvégienne". Salad with salmon? It's a "salade norvégienne". The only outlier here is the "omelette norvégienne" which is neither an omelette nor has salmon in it. It's a cake! Also known as "Baked Alaska" in the USA?
By that time India will get close to par to China in per capita GDP, and will hopefully still remain democratic. Why would Indians do that?

UDP can be spoofed for amplification attacks, and since ISPs won't implement reverse path filtering, the only other option is to get rid of UDP.
They come with OpenWRT already, just have a much nicer UI.

You can still access LUCI openWRT UI if you need advanced features.

If you need a new router, they are a decent choice, better than average performance, no need to flash anything.
You can rely on individuals doing sane things, but you can never rely on 'everyone' to do sane things. Hence recovery options exist, and those always cause security problems.

I think a really amazing application for this technology is in places where people are unable or face challenges to manually passwords. For example due to equipment such as gloves, or extreme weather conditions etc. or even disabilities... - it's a good secure way and slotting in a device in a port can sometimes be much quicker and easier than taking off equipment and entering passwords. Furthermore, a physical device can be easily destroyed if it needs to be. If its in your brain... you can't destroy your brain and someone can always get to it... Extremely stressful conditions can also make it hard to enter or even remember passwords... Lastly, a robot or even flying drones can be used to slot in a key to a device. entering some code on a keypad would be more of a challenge in such cases. radioactive, chemical or gas leaks and other hazardous circumstances might prevent an operator from entering a password...

I think technologies like this should first aim to be implemented in places where to original methods we use aren't applicable, or face challenges. Once those areas are covered, it could be considered to be pushed to more mainstream applications if indeed it is found suitable and understandable, and people have had time in real implementations and operations to iron out the creases that 'regular people' will definitely trip over. Also, having it applied in certain fields might help to convince people it's actually more practical, and not prone to account loss as the default sentiment always seems to be.

in short: Like with a lot of technology it should a) first find a place where it's really urgently needed, and has obvious benefits, and little downsides.
b) through that, earn trust of potential consumers in order to apply it more broadly.

It might sound a bit off the ball, as essentially the aim is to increase security for all people in interacting with services / devices / data etc., but you need to start somewhere more practical rather than trying to immediately come up with that golden solution which will put a lot of people out of business. such solutions ,even when achieved, are rarely implemented in the real world or face adoption issues anyhow. (due to 'harsh competition' usually... )
I hear this a lot. But don't see that much evidence. Is it hard? Yes. Is it impossible? I came to Rust from Java and despite hurdles I learned it during it's most difficult part - before lifetime elision.
These kinds of posts are interesting to learn more about the architectures and failure modes at play.

I agree that HN should not be a down detector but for a high profile service with infrequent outages like Wikipedia in this instance, a post with discussion is acceptable in my eyes.
You can even set up a local kiwix-server as a web server to serve up the ZIM for those who don't have Kiwix installed (or space on their devices, the full English-language Wikipedia with images is about 82GB).
Dissolving the dead – A radical alternative to burial and cremation
I'm gonna write (generate I guess using GPT..) a thousand articles about how matsemann is the greatest developer ever. And in 5 years when a recruiter uses recruitGPT to ask "should we hire matsemann" it will give a stellar recommendation.
>one might predict a change in the dairy culture in Japan if suddenly the population was significantly more tolerant of lactose.

It might change or it might not. Just because a dietary option is open to you doesn't mean you're going to take it. Nothing prevents me from eating sushi, and I still don't, and the reason is obvious: I didn't grow up eating it, so it isn't part of my normal diet.

It's one thing to say that culture and genetics are not completely independent. It's another to say that culture is heavily influenced by genetics, to the extent that it's a hereditary trait.
For a second I wasn't sure if you were sarcastic or not. Apparently the former.

Audiobooks even when sped up are still a lot slower than reading. You wouldn't ridicule someone for reading fast, would you. Reading fast is usually seen as an advantage and a sign of reading maturity.

But if you listen to a lot of audiobooks you easily learn to do it faster than normal speaking speed. I'm told that blind people, can comfortably handle 4x times normal speed.

Which is why a more common unit in imperial machining is the "tenth", which is one ten thousandth of an inch.
> I'm willing to bet a lot of people start using Rust for backend web development.

It will happen, but it's not something you should do today. The async ecosystem in Rust is not yet ready for prime time, there are key language and stdlib features that are just missing. And this in turn holds the web ecosystem back. If you write a web backend in Rust today, you might just do a lot of pointless work that you'll have to rewrite in the future anyway as more advanced frameworks come along and the earlier ones are practically abandoned.
I'd be interested to see what the NFTs MOMA bought are worth now. The NFT market is a fraction of the size it was during the highs of 2021.
What you really want to know is the information content (in the information theory sense) of the image. The number of pixels is somewhat arbitrary depending on the processing involved - and especially for nonlinear projections like used here, there is no definite answer on how many pixels it should have beyond an upper and lower bound.
Scooters. The thing is, a lot of asia is scooter centric. Taipei, Manila, HCM, Jakarta, KL.. they'd be there. I've been to those cities and the first 40+ vehicles at any junction are scooters, everywhere. But translating battery swap to cars is harder.

It shouldn't have been harder, I blame Musk who wanted market advantages of not doing it.

There's a lot of bad economics expressed in batteries as if "Gresham's law" would lead to people hoarding good ones. That just doesn't apply: batteries are not money, they have a specific use value and bad batteries will be taken out of the supply chain.
There is more to DNS than just zone transfers...
Seems like the answer is total amount of human life. When you had 10K humans you could just walk around your cave and find enough food for everyone.
When you had 10M humans you started tilling fields and created organizations to manage collection and storage. now you need incredibly complex machines, that require incredibly complex supply chains to feed 10B.

(food as an example. its the same for clothing to not freeze, shelter to rear offsprings, culture to not kill each other etc)
terrestrial, adjective: on or relating to the earth. (emphasis mine)
At a time when my mental health was at its lowest and I was completely unable to eat anything at all, the ready to drink versions of mana, huel and plenny shake kept me alive, healthy and fit.

The time savings compared to normal food preparation and consumption are insane, if you compare it to ordering lunch to your homeoffice it usually ends up much cheaper and ultimately it's probably much healthier than the average persons diet.

It absolutely makes sense in many situations.
No one should be forced to see ads (your choice if you don't want to support a site which provides you with useful content) - I am full pro-adblockers

In the same time, I consider causing financial loss to someone who relies on paid advertising to be morally bad.
A nanny is for kids. Saying someone needs a nanny can be pejorative.
It reminds me of what someone online said about ITIL (and if you haven't had the pleasure, consider yourself lucky):

It's like sex in high school. Everyone says they know all about it, everyone says they're really good at it, and everyone says they're doing loads of it all the time.

No-one knows much about it. No-one is any good at it. And absolutely no-one is doing any of it, at all.
> AirPods shouldn't even exist

Why is that? I recently switched to AirPods Pro because I wanted to see what the fuss was about and I don't regret it one bit.

- Pairing works seamlessly, including switching device, including non Apple devices

- The controls on the buds are amazing and well thought of (I had Jabra before and the controls were different on the left and right earbud, so if I wanted to wear only the right one I couldn't skip a song because the control was on the left one)

- Active noise control works great

- The microphone is good enough that I can actually use them for calls, even in the street near cars

- Integration with FindMy, not only for the case but also for each earbud individually is soooo useful.

- Even the feeling of closing the case is amazing.

They're easily the best earbuds (and headphones too) I've ever had.
How long before Twitch takes this down after it gets reported for <something someone takes offence to>?
I think it’s a she.
In WoW classes have between 21-39 abilities, the average is around 30, in FF14 it is fairly similar (33 is the max). I recommend to look at the FF14 Comprehensive Controller Guide if you want to see how this problem has been solved. And it is viable as some of the FF14 top tier raiders are playing on controller along with a lots of average player.

I do enjoy it, but you can see how it compares poorly to other alternatives for the very youthful. Particularly for women.
But this is not the point - it isn't even a conscious decision for the most part to have kids late. Modern life is just set up that way. None of my peers were having their first kid at 20. None of my peers were even in a serious relationship at 20. Most weren't in any sort of relationship.
Late reply, but for the record, I think those are largely orthogonal. If you have 20% fewer workers spending their time on the same useless meetings and filling out the same forms and so on, it won't matter. Cutting the number of hours rather than the number of employees forces a rethink of processes.
On the contrary, I feel sort of sad that so many people seem to find their work unfulfilling. I work a job that’s more work than some alternatives could be. I could at any point quit and find easier work that paid better. But I chose to work here, right? I’m privileged enough to not be obligated to stay. I’ll assume most people here have similar flexibility.

I find the “cooking as alternative” suggestion interesting too. I can understand the desire work on a creation for yourself (a meal), but for me that’s balanced by the desire to create something amazing for the world. By the same token, I could take every Friday off and work on a side project, but fundamentally that’s not going to be as fun or productive as working on the main project I’ve chosen to work on: ie, my job.

Now raising a family I can totally see as a competing interest, if I were raising children I would be working less. But I’m not (yet).
People who do not want to write safe code will also not use Rust. (Or then use unsafe Rust a lot).

If you want your programmers to write safe code and are in a position to force this, it makes no difference whether you mandate the use of Rust or whether you mandate the use of a safe C subset enforced by a compiler flag.

error: invalid digit "9" in octal constant
Stuff like this is maybe one of the reasons why people prefer MacOS now.
Oh, there is definitely something to that. There are people, not just managers, in general who for one reason or another _want_ someone to take charge, be responsible and tell everyone what to do. Which is not bad, per se, it gets bad when the insistence is that this be a boss assigned to you, rather than someone you choose, but that is broader than just agile and the topic in question.
> Pollution in general is caused by industry not individuals.

Industry that serves a number of individuals, so the relationship is direct.
What's stopping PMs to remind people on slack to update their tickets? In my previous job we had a task blocked in our calendar every Tuesday 10AM to 12 PM just for updating Jira and Gitlab tickets.

Having people gather in circles physically or jumping on calls every single day just for this bullshit that can be done async is absolutely insane.
2+2=5. VC’s look super active right now because they’re fighting for a small number of solid investments. LP’s have turned off the money taps and fake investment marks no longer pay the bills. They need startups that will actually generate revenue, finding them requires a lot more work and thats what we’re seeing. Soon we’ll start to see broke B & C tier investment funds turn into zombies.

Did not Galileo grind his own lenses for his telescopes?

Did not Yogi Berra state that in theory there's no theory between theory and practice but that in practice there is?

Is an abacus useful in Computer Science or is it an impediment to purely conceptual algorithmics?

I use Linux precisely because it enables good Computer Science, as telescopes enable good astronomy, as particle accelerators enable the realisation of the prediction of the Higgs Boson.
1. She. AMD's CEO is Lisa Su.

2. This is a keynote at a supercomputing conference. The audience are people who do supercomputing. She's not going talk about consumer stuff.

3. She did announce new, integrated products that are in at least some niches better than what nVidia has.

4. AMD brand is flying very high on the server and supercomputing side right now. They have beat Intel for 3 generations straight now.

In general, you should read the article instead of commenting based on just headlines. Doing this just makes you look really stupid.

As much as I like the cloud, there is a (somewhat sentimental) part of me that likes the idea of running your own hardware. Not so much the potential money saved, although that's nice, but the feeling that you own your own infrastructure rather than rent somebody else's. It's a sovereignty thing.
This is the fallacy: A cast does not make code safer you have to use it for regular code that has no issue. Because a linter warning about that is just noise. By example illustrated a bug in the C++ code hidden by the cast.

There is also what Stafford Beer writes about when discussing viable systems - the goal for most organisations, is not their stated goals, but survival and perpetuating the system. The stated goals are a byproduct of that, if and when achieved.i.e. in a lot of universities education is a byproduct, in a lot of hospitals, healthcare is a byproduct, hell in a lot of governments, governance and actually improving things is a byproduct, that will not happen unless there is an absolute need for it...

In a way it's like running a tricky multi-objective optimisation, and the AI will find a way to cheat the stated goal.

From the page:

In 2005, they were doing 1.6 billion pageviews monthly, with a bandwidth budget of $5000/mo and a staff of 1.

By 2015, their pageviews had gone up 11x. Their bandwidth costs had gone up 33x, and their staffing costs 1250x.

In my view, both bandwidth and staffing costs should be nearly linear with pageviews - and ideally a little sublinear.
I'm describing how bad this particular paywall is implemented.
Fyi some paywalls will server-side render the article excerpt only. No way to bypass it without active subscription.
