I'm living in a district subject to heavy gentrification at the moment. (And as I'm transitioning from student to Yuppie, I'm part of it) The conflicts between newly moved in rich people and the entrenched working class are intense, and looking at other places it is incredibly obvious who is going to win.

The process of moving to a place, then expecting that place to cater to you needs over the people who originally lived there seems deeply problematic to me: Considering the power dynamics at place, the process as a whole is a really mean way of punching down.

Just to give one concrete example, there was a bar close by that basically served as a living room for many of the neighbors. The people living above me are 5 in 2 rooms, obviously they need the space. But there were noise complains, the police came (never used to even come out 10y ago, and lawyers were used). The bar closed, a fashion store moved in, there are of course other bars but they are much more expensive, the staff doesn't speak german and the community largely consists of academics and expats.
If it's publically for sale is it really circumventing due process?

Do the police need a search warrant to lookup who owns a property, or leverage the white pages?
When you get promoted, they tend to move you to different projects (that need different resources at founding time than the operations folks that have experience scaling up)
The advantage of "preinstalled" is that as a buyer, you know that all hardware works with linux out of the box. Nobody will stop you from reinstalling afterwards. "I wouldn't want it preinstalled" is a very niche complaint.
On the other side, I have dealt with several merchants who wrote down my debit/credit card numbers and would charge me after I cancelled (specifically several fitness gyms). So I am very happy that chargebacks are in place.

I was hoping for software too. Mostly because I don't have the understanding for a hardware tool like that: I have a decent-ish low-end mic (Blue Yeti, a USB mic) and was hoping for a software tool to run to achieve the same result.

"We’re not trying to replace pilots, we’re trying to augment them, give them an extra tool,”

They're trying to replace pilots --- defined as a live person in the cockpit.

They have no choice. If they don't do it, the Chinese will.

Human pilots are physically fragile and expensive and represent the single biggest impediment to the performance of an aircraft.

The single biggest advantage of a human pilot --- decision making. Which can be done remotely with a properly designed system.

Taking the pilot out of the cockpit will allow planes to be cheaper, smaller, faster, more agile, more stealthy ... and more lethal.

I saw a few Metal specific types in the source code contained within their demo video
SODIMMs use a 64 bit wide memory bus. The TI AM62x SOCs only have a 16 bit wide memory bus. There exist modular memory which can work with narrow buses like this but it's not common or inexpensive. Most embedded SOC are meant to be used with a "memory down" configuration where the memory is soldered to the same PCB as the SOC.

Additionally, there's only 2GB of the DDR which is accessible to all of the processors within the SOC. The Cortex-A processors can use the addresses beyond 32 bits but because only 2GB of the DDR is within the first 32 bits worth of memory mapping, the other processors cannot easily access memory beyond 2GB.

$100 is an amazing deal when considering this as a development board or reference design to build a real product from. $100 is not that great a deal if you want a Raspberry Pi replacement. Different markets and different use-cases.

Hi,

You can get a long list of companies that use Rust language with links to their websites where you can look for a Rust-related job. What would you do?

a) You want to have it free!

b) You would pay a subscription.

c) You would donate to an open source project.

I guess I'm more than a little prejudiced from trying to maintain all sorts of CI tools, web applications and other largeish programs somebody initially hacked in Python in an afternoon and which grew to become "vital infrastructure". The lack of typing bytes you hard and the optional typing that has been shoehorned into the language is irrelevant in practice.

All sorts of problems would simply have not existed if the proper language was used from the beginning, as opposed to the one where anyone can hack most easily.

Ed Catmull is and always has been a scumbag. He was implicated in and unrepentant for his role in the wage-fixing scandal for which Disney paid a $100M settlement. He almost certainly knew about and covered-up/minimized his co-founder John Lassiter's decades of sexual harassment of female employees leading to his ultimate exit.

Finally, from my several interactions with him at Disney and Pixar he was extremely dismissive of non-traditional approaches to graphics research (especially ML/AI-based approaches) and his approach to leadership was almost a complete 180 from the self-styled guru he presented himself as in Creativity Inc. Perhaps a great researcher and businessman but definitely a low-tier human.

Image Processing Services Intro
The pricing changes are unfortunate, yes, since they encourage me to think about querying, which ought to not be the case.

The more worrying update here is that Kagi is not grandfathering in legacy plans beyond the next billing cycle, which is a departure from a promise:

> If such change to Individual plans is to occur, we plan to grandfather-in all early adopters (meaning all current and future paid customers, up until this change) allowing them to keep their existing subscription price as long as they don’t cancel it.

Kagi's claim to privacy is intrinsically tied to their capacity to keep their word. If they say one thing and do another with pricing, how can I trust they'll do what they say when it comes to privacy?

I paid for Kagi the first moment I was allowed to, and this news soured me on Kagi overnight. Trust is hard to earn back.
Nor is it universal: I can count at least one extended family member who is not insured and is one accident away from bankruptcy - not unlike some people in the US - except that personal bankruptcy is exceedingly difficult process in their EU country, and it would be quite doable (if not straightforward) to go to prison for the debt.
Online News Act threatens Canadian press freedoms, warns senator
My app was suspended by Google Play Store and it is frustrating
A few months ago I published an AI Chat app on Google Play which was performing pretty well.

Last week, after 500k downloads, the app got suspended due to violating Google’s impersonation policy, more specifically because of the app name:

"OpenChat - AI Chat Bot”

After a few back and forth emails with Google and submitting an appeal form, Google responded that the app was suspended due to it falsely impersonating ChatGPT.

There is absolutely no mention of GPT in the app title, screenshots, app description or app logo but our app was still taken down.

At the moment, over 80% of the AI Chat apps on Google Play use the word ChatGPT or GPT in their titles. These apps are still available on Google Play Store.

We’ve formulated an email where we have asked Google to specifically tell us how we are misleading users and have sent comparisons of existing apps and our app but still to no avail. They simply return the same response over and over again that we are impersonating ChatGPT without any further explanation.

We’ve tried to contact OpenAI directly but have had no success in getting a response so far.

For context, screenshots of the suspended app and the dozens of apps which mention GPT in their titles:

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
It certainly suggests that ‘data which would require a warrant’ shouldn’t be freely for sale.
As I mentioned in another comment, 2GB is the maximum memory size that all of the processors within the SOC can access, so it's a perfectly reasonable amount of RAM to spec for this SOC.

The Cortex-A CPUs can access more than 2GB but because that memory requires more than 32 bit addressing, the other processors cannot easily access it.

This is a common theme in similar TI SOCs. For example, the AM57xx SOC which are used on the Beagle-X15 and Beagle-AI can have more memory available to the Cortex-A15 than can be possibly made available to the DSP and Cortex-M4 processors. The Cortex-A15 has a special interface to the memory controller which enables extended address use beyond 32 bits where-as the other processors and subsystems within the SOC are all attached to a bus where 32 bit addresses are the maximum.
> When I upgrade Windows, it frequently tells me the upgrade will take ~2 minutes, so I initiate it by rebooting, and after 20 minutes and multiple reboots, it finally gets me to the login, and first login spends ~5 minutes to login. Overall, terrible experience. Download is done in the background before doing the install, so this is just the installation process.

My Windows upgrades have never taken this long and first login has never taken ~5 minutes. On the other hand I have had upgrades between Ubuntu versions take an incredibly long time.
Good advice! I'd add this:

1. Pick a dynamic mic (USB: Rode Podcaster, XLR: SM7B or Rode Procaster, USB+XLR: Rode MV7) over a condenser mic (Yeti) if your space isn't treated or quiet.

Dynamic mics generally reject room noise better than condenser mics and have a lower noise floor. Switching to a dynamic mic hugely reduced the physical sound treatment and audio adjustments I needed to get great sound.

2. Consider wired in-ear monitors for meetings. I like Shure's SE215 — they come in a clear colour that's pretty subtle. It completely removes audio feedback that some meeting apps are still not great at masking if you were using speakers before, and obviously prevents Bluetooth issues too.
Ask HN: Why are VC funds private and not public?

Not OP. For me, caffeine causes panic attacks. Even decaf coffee/tea causes increased anxiety.
The comment is correct that there are (fairly straightforward) legal processes for recovering funds. Unpaid invoices happen all the time. Sometimes you do have to send a written threat of legal action to get paid. Sometimes it does make it all the way to court.

Automating your moderation policies is a cop-out. It isolates you even further from the peons whose lives you're controlling.

European humans have the right for any automated decision affecting them to be reviewed by a human. We do not want a world where a tiny handful of people, getting fewer by the day if it's Twitter, have untrammeled control over what billions of people can say, see or do. We can't let businesses do what they like, change their policies on a whim and have it instantaneously applied by automatons, if it's bringing misery to millions of people.

Remember those old-fashioned things called laws? Courts? Judges? Legislators? The things we used to use for deciding what people could/couldn't do, before tiny companies with billions of users applied their own de-facto laws with no oversight, governance or accountability. Move fast and break things!

Also know your audience and what their concerns are. If it is a customer worried if about you managing to cost and schedule, then wear a suit, use a professional vocal register, and takenthe steps you suggest. If they are worried about your competency, dress and act a bit eccentric, or given you are reading this, here, stop hiding your eccentricity and wear something you normally would. The lighting and sound in that case should only be good enough not to stand out in either direction.
Welcome to HN. Many on this site make their money from ads and data collection. Any talk of regulating that is unpopular.
It seems to be the case, though: "Every account with an active subscription at the moment of the pricing change on March 15 will get the “Early adopter” status. This will make the special “Early Adopter Professional” plan available to them instead of the regular Professional plan, with the main difference being 1,000 free included searches monthly, instead of 700."

Intuitively this feels right. When we are young, everything is new. As we age, more experiences are repetitive, or one falls into a routine. During the pandemic every day felt the same, too, so I am even more convinced of it now.
This, 100%. This is like saying, white is the number one color of paper people crumple up and throw away. So?
Exactly. The root issue is that the US doesn't attach a dollar value to privacy.

Which is to say that if I have {personally identifiable information}, I have no innate {dollar risk} to holding it, outside of specific protected classes like personal health information (PHI).

If we wanted to fix this in one swoop, we could just... quantify that risk in $ terms. It largely worked as intended in healthcare via HIPAA.

- If you store PII, you are required to submit to a yearly audit by an independent third party

- If you have a breach that exposes PII, you are penalized order-of profits (or equivalent measure) for a year

- If you are a US company that obtains PII from a source outside your company, you are required to obtain and retain a full chain of custody of the source of that data. If you originate or sell PII, you are required to furnish a full chain of custody of that data. If you are found with PII without a valid chain of custody, you are dissolved as a company

That this would make some businesses like Experian or Facebook/Google's ad targeting products unprofitable to run is intended -- they're only profitable now because they don't have to pay to violate people's privacy.

I found this drink in my local supermarket in Finland and decided to try it. It was amazing, but after a little research I realised that it probably had way too much caffeine which as a coffee drinker, I should have less of. As someone who has integrated into Finnish culture, nothing was going to replace my coffee, so I stopped drinking it.
I jumped on Kagi with multiple family members due to their grandfather promise. The lie hurts all the more because they aren’t a big company. If they’re already “altering the deal”, what will they do when they’re big?
I'm not sure what those hoops might look like that don't still leave at least one person with the ability to unilaterally read an email.

Assuming that backdoor exists, at best there's some kind of oversight committee that has to review and approve a request to read an email. Meaning the door is there and someone has the keys, it's only process that tries to remove the risk of a unilateral invasion of privacy.

Image data is recorded from sensor pixels (or rendered pixels) and displayed on screen pixels or pinted using ink pixels, without additional filtering unless the image is scaled or rotated. None of these are perfect pixels due to physical limitations but they all try to be mostly that: little squares.

It is convenient to think of image data as point samples because that lets you use sampling theory but that does not mean image pixels are actually point samples.

Or ro put it another way, if it's captured like a little square and displayed like a little square, it is a little square.

Secure erase depends upon the drive firmware correctly implementing the function. The only study I've seen that actually tested this found about half of drives did not do it properly! But that was from 10 years ago now.

I once used secure erase on a nvme SSD and found some of the partition table was still present when going to reformat, even though the operation indicated success. I eventually tracked it down to the drive being mistakenly mounted at the time of the secure erase. So there is your other failure mode, making sure you and your software utilities also perform the secure erase correctly.
