Some people just have way too much free time.
> flip through all possible states of those n bits

How do you do that in one pass?
If you're interested in the topic, Jonathan Haidt has written a fair bit on this.

He's got a number of articles if you Google his name, and he's also appeared in a few podcasts (eg Lex Fridman's).
More or less:

- prevent removal of profiles:
general -> security -> "with authorization", and added a password
- prevent total phone wipe:
general -> functionality -> [ ] allow Erase All Content and Settings (supervised only)

- only allow a few apps to run:
restrictions -> apps -> restrict app usage -> only allow some apps
phone, messages, facetime, settings
- disallow installing new apps:
restrictions -> functionality -> [ ] allow installing apps (supervised only)

- content filter -> filter type -> limit adult content
I'm not really sure what this does but makes sense to enable it

- wi-fi -> configure one payload,
for my home guest network
- google account -> configure one payload,
for a phone@vanitydomain.com google account

I have a copy of the resulting .mobileconfig file that also allows safari, but I only enable that when I'm e.g. taking a flight on Southwest and want to be able to use that phone as another screen for passing time in the plane
The famous and much maligned, but actually good game, Monopoly of course has the characteristic that the best stuff happens to you on opponents' turns. It's a great characteristic for a lot of groups.

It's also a fairly rare characteristic despite two of the largest tabletop games
ever, Catan and Monopoly, having versions of it.

Machi Koro is an excellent more modern game with the same characteristic.
Phew, relatable. I get this kind of well-rooted feeling with my Linuxes all the time.

Just this year I moved my T420 from a phenomenal Xubuntu 18.04 install that was _just_ great, to PCLOS. I'm happy with the result after a lot of work, but I know there are still a ton of things that aren't what they should be.

Hundreds of keyboard shortcuts yet to migrate, hundreds of little add-ons skipped, like "did I grab whatever the equivalent of gimp-addons is, since I couldn't use apt-clone", hundreds of little scripts un-integrated from my desktop, including genmon scripts that do valuable things, which don't even have an equivalent for porting to KDE.

Before that it was...Ubuntu Netbook Edition (UNE). Tiny screen but wow it worked amazingly well on my Linux-reseller MSI Wind Netbook. I could hardly bear the upgrades away from that, to different distros, since everything worked super well.

It's hard to feel torn between such UserLand concerns (my stuff is how I like it!) and regular ol' userland concerns (my software does what I need, with the following somewhat clever workarounds).

> Exactly why even very light-weight Linux versions like Lubuntu feels slow on my computers I do not know. Maybe they lack the drivers for hardware optimization compared to Windows.

I remember this EXACT feeling coming from Windows XP, lol. I never did figure out what the difference was, but it definitely went away for me starting around Windows 8 IIRC. Today I can't discern a difference except that occasionally it seems like Linux is faster by default.

It also felt incredibly unjust back then, to a lot of us happy Creative Labs users, to migrate to Linux and learn that our slick cards & low latency didn't work that way anymore, or at all.

Fun read! Thanks for sharing it.
Of course the challenge is proving that good enough pseudorandom generators actually exist.
> a 2013 macbook with a keyboard that still works, but it can't get the latest OS updates anymore, much like OP's XP machine.

If a lack of web browsers is the problem: https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy
The other purpose is discoverability. I doubt many people know that to install a PWA, you press the "share" button (lol) and then "add to home screen." But yes I have a few personal projects I've deliberately not put on any app stores.
Finland, very temperate climate—you're joking, right?
Didn’t the Norse have totems?
So you are telling Turkey bought s-400 out of nowhere? US never become true ally of Turkey. And your F-35s reasoning is not right as well. From the beginning Turkey is a part of alliance. But now they afraid Turkey to sell f-35 to Russia?
> Vienna was famously one of the first targets for Soviet nuclear strike.

According to your link in the other thread, that is assuming it was "ruthlessly" occupied by NATO.

In any case, the "end the game for everyone button" example seems like a poor choice. How did Austria actually fare during the Cold War? I honestly don't know too much about Austrian-Soviet relationships except for a few trade deals.
Apple’s Weather app is working again for now, but has the issue been fixed?
There have been many innovative organisms that produced an "unnatural" material. The earth was covered in a huge, dense, undecayed layer of dead tree matter before bacteria eventually evolved to break it down... 60 million years later. It's now coal.
Unfortunately in German only. A superb „OMR“ podcast episode with Klaus and his son as guests talking about past, present and future as well as some insights.

I did google that. Seems like a few people complaining about lemons or not realizing a bike needs maintainance (chain/cassette swaps etc) and otherwise basically fine? In any case that's an eMTB part so you'd expect more trouble than something regular, just like how MTBs are way higher maintainance than road in every way.

Your general point is good but it sounds like you had a bad experience and are generalizing. And how would you already be out of warranty after a few thousand km, doesn't add up.
HackerNews included?

It does seem like a reasonable solution. A rewind back to the age when it had been just the newsgroups. Without +1 algorithms that result in the algorithm making a choice what users see and not the opposite.

Certainly a better solution, if compared to forcing everyone to show their Real Id, just to verify their age to access the Internet.
This would have been a viable path, when WebKit was still "a thing" and enjoyed some integration. I guess, with WebKit2, things became more complicated and resource heavy. Given the rapid development cycles and feature releases, I doubt an integrated web-view would be able to keep up, nowadays. Esp., if nothing short of 100% compatibility to current Chrome will do.

(That said, Firefox 78.15.0esr works still fine in most cases, but I doubt that this will be the case much longer, mostly because of CSS feature adoption.)
> MHO, the weights are akin to the list of telephone numbers in a directory - which is definitely not copyrightable

I would contest the analogy, but even if we accept it, it's still not clear whether phone directories (or other compilation of factual data) are definitely not copyrightable. The position is clear in the US, but in the UK and presumably other jurisdictions, I wouldn't be so sure.

You could claim we're just talking about US law here, but if you release something on github/huggingface without geo-restrictions, and your company does business in Europe, you might not only have to comply with US law...

eg. https://www.jstor.org/stable/24866738 , eg. https://books.google.com.hk/books?id=wHJBemWuPT4C&pg=PA114&l...
By not reading the input again and just keeping the n-bit counter in unrelated memory, since the actual input is kind of irrelevant for this, only its size. Again, may or may not apply depending on what precisely they meant by a "fixed" additional amount of memory...
Ha, excellent.

I have pretty good mechanical sense & experience and can reason through how things work. I guess I just want to get better?

But this applies to thinking that gets you into a rut working on a bug. Sometimes es I find that if I would have stopped, backed up, and thought through the whole stack more critically, I would have gotten the fix faster.
https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy exists for macOS, so it would only be fair if there was something similar for old versions of Windows. :)
FWIW my 4gb 2012 air runs latest OSX pretty well. I mostly just run terminal and Webstorm. Gotta watch those chrome tabs lol
iPhones support PWA notifications finally?! I always cited this as a big and intentional limitation. Time to update my apps.
There's a good chance that on windows 10, you would get a laggy 800x600 after install with such an old config which is worse
> Spikes occur at various timescales. There are seasonal spikes (due to heating/AC), daily spikes (more power in morning and evening), and spikes on the millisecond to minute level due to random chance.

The first two are easily handled by nuclear (which you'd know if you read the report).

Literally nothing can handle "millisecond spikes due to random chance".

Renewables like solar and wind can't really handle any of the three because their power generation is intermittent. So you have to overbuild both them and their storage.

> Batteries already exist that handle demand spikes on the shorter timescales (e.g. in Australia).

Of course they don't exist. Not anywhere near the scale required.

> and hydro is currently the best for medium timescale storage

Ah yes, hydro. That is so easily available and easy to build just about anywhere, and on the required scale.

> Nuclear is pretty much the worst tech to overbuild because it's already expensive and it's price per kwh goes way up if you use it infrequently.

Of course it's the best tech to "overbuild" (because you don't need to overbuild much).

Once again:

- it's the highest energy density we know

- it's stable power generation (not intermittent like most renewables)

- it requires significantly less storage (because it can scale up quickly: most renewables can't even handle daily power spikes)

- it requires significantly less area to build

- the costs for renewables somehow never include the costs for the required overbuilding and the costs for required storage.

Again: in the report you can see just one of the power plants easily scale from 650MW to 1400 MW during the day. And that's for power plants built 45 years ago. What are your renewable + battery solutions capable of that, and their cost?
Protests, for one.

I'm a front-end web developer/designer hybrid - I blend modern web technologies and user-centric design to build responsive and engaging interfaces. As a creative developer with a CS background, I'm always seeking for complex challenges to tackle and also ways to improve my craft. I'm also interested to venture more into DevOps or 3D.

I have experience working remotely and am willing to adjust my schedule to accommodate a different time zone.
The graphic API landscape is how it always has been, specially on game consoles, really OpenGL only had a shot thanks to id Software, and even Carmack changed his mind later.

> Speaking to bit-tech for a forthcoming Custom PC feature about the future of OpenGL in PC gaming, Carmack said 'I actually think that Direct3D is a rather better API today.' He also added that 'Microsoft had the courage to continue making significant incompatible changes to improve the API, while OpenGL has been held back by compatibility concerns. Direct3D handles multi-threading better, and newer versions manage state better.'

https://www.bit-tech.net/news/gaming/pc/carmack-directx-bett...

On the subject of this thread, it was also DirectX 12 Ultimate that introduced Mesh Shaders.

Meanwhile had it not been for AMD Mantle, Khronos would still be wondering how OpenGL vNext would be like, Vulkan is already reaching the same level of OpenGL extension spaghetti, and the latest extension acknowledges pipelines were a design error that failed to gain adoption.

"On the application side, many developers considering or implementing Vulkan and similar APIs found them unable to efficiently support important use cases which were easily supportable in earlier APIs. This has not been simply a matter of developers being stuck in an old way of thinking or unwilling to "rein in" an unnecessarily large number of state combinations, but a reflection of the reality that the natural design patterns of the most demanding class of applications which use graphics APIs — video games — are inherently and deeply dependent on the very "dynamism" that pipelines set out to constrain."

Design by committee at its best.
That works great in FAANG companies, you might have 1-3 hours of meetings in total a week. That is how your typical PhD program works too, meet with your supervisor once a week. And low meeting culture seems to work just fine for the Linux kernel developers too. You're always free to engage in extracurricular activities, but it's not mandatory.

It's the lesser tier, often non-tech companies doing this kind of micromanagement.
>all within the company's "corporate retail teams," with a focus on workers who are responsible for the "construction and upkeep" of Apple's retail locations and other physical facilities.

Can those even be considered "Tech industry" jobs either?

I'm not sure a single word of the title is accurate besides Apple.

The Xfinity ones show up only after you install a profile from the Xfinity app or website, and manually enable it in Settings.

The Xfinity hotspot service typically has two SSIDs going: "xfinitywifi", which is unencrypted and has a captive portal to log in, and the "XFINITY" network, which the installing the profile enables access to and which is encrypted with 802.1X authentication.

For everyone except apparently the carriers, Apple is very strict about the opt in nature of managed WiFi networks.
Not sure why Brave gets attention on HN at all. Their sketchy business model was clear many years ago, see the intro post from 2016:

Normal people with no programming experience can already make small basic programs by copy-pasting code from Github and StackOverflow.
Deep Learning Foundations to Stable Diffusion
I know something about this. I built and ran a service for carriers to help with “WiFi offload”.

It’s intended as a consumer-friendly way to increase capacity in dense areas (like a sports stadium or mall) where the carrier’s cell towers don’t have enough capacity.

Wifi offloading is not new. AT&T helped invent these standards back in ~2009 when their network was getting crushed by massive increases in traffic as iPhone usage took off.

WiFi offload networks are configured as “Managed Networks” which are lower priority than any user-selected networks. You can disable them by turning off “auto-join”. (Also these WiFi offload networks are secure; you can’t spoof them).

However it appears that the original poster’s carrier (presumably Xfinity Mobile or Spectrum Mobile) has done something new - they’ve disabled the user’s ability to turn off “auto-join” on iOS. Some overzealous team is trying to lower their cellular costs. That’s because both Comcast and Spectrum rent capacity on Verizon Wireless towers, but their MVNO cellular service is not profitable unless their customers are using the cable company’s own WiFi fairly often.

However this (disabling “auto-join”) is a dumb move. It’s obviously problematic for users whose neighbors are broadcasting the [Xfinity WiFi or Spectrum Mobile?] SSID.

To my knowledge, no major carrier does this. If you’re on AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon, the “managed offload networks” can be easily disabled. And the major carriers are using higher-quality commercial WiFi networks for offload, not random home cable modems.
What I propose is the banning of algorithms-powered social media. There's a huge difference between a moderated age-appropriate forum and TikTok.

1. Brave's ads are opt-in. So you don't see any by default.

2. They are not the same as other ads, because they preserve your privacy.

3. Brave is taking on Google, one of the most powerful companies in the world, so we get a better internet. I'm not sure about you. In my books that's pretty brave.

4. You're dumping on other people's hard work in a fly-by comment that takes seconds to write. How are you being brave? What is your contribution to a better internet?

5. Say you want to create an alternative browser to take power away from Google. It costs many millions of dollars per year to pay for the development. How will you pay for this, if not also with the help of ads?
Each with a different temperature too - kind of like a multi-armed bandit but exploring different parts of the LLM manifold.
And, now I'm scared of establishing a TLS connection with untrusted servers after reading CVE-2021-22901 from that page. Remote code execution from an adversarial *server*. I can understand an adversarial client, but that just expanded the things of which I'm wary.
Well the Z80 was worse. 21 cycles per byte! The reason is that instead of running a loop in microcode, it decremented PC by 2, then fetched the instruction again every time.
Stable Diffusion SDXL Beta Model
So most advertisers steal your attention without permission and now Brave comes and steals their stealing of your attention. I don't think there are any good actors here.

Yes, the content creators who aim to make a living through advertising lose out. But personally it's not a business model I want to support either, and if Brave goes some way to proving that it's an unsustainable business model with bad actors all the way down then I'm actually fine with that.

Let's be real here, content creators are far from pure and are playing the game of attention stealing just as much as everyone else here (with a few notable exceptions). The vast majority of them are trying to game the SEO system for their own ends, not love of producing content. All the SEO spam you get with you try to research something on Google, that's the reality of modern ad supported content creation.
> The newest browser you can run on this is Firefox 78.15.0esr

I'll guess you'll be happy to see this: https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy :)
> It would be interesting to find out what the real solution was in later x86 processors. I'm sure someone has looked into this.

At least now the solution is to simply pass the full PC of the instruction thorough the pipeline. Or at the very least mark the PC for each ROB entry, and offsets for each instruction in the ROB entry.

As an aside do you know yet what you're going to work on once you've mined out the 8086?
> i also doubt the PWA push notifications on iOS would work on a webview.

Fixed in iOS 16.4[1].

Google's support wasn't great either. Besides that, the PWA standards are unnecessarily complicated and tricky to implement correctly.

He was Chief Product Officer at MobileCoin. Hopefully we learn who stabbed him, and why. 43 is just way too young. Thoughts go out to his wife. He was instrumental in creating Android. Whatever you may think of it today, we wouldn't have it if it weren't for him.
For me PWA aren’t apps and I will always protest their inclusion in any store as apps.
What to you is sketchy about the business model? The fact that it is also based on ads?
> Forcing social media companies to charge for accounts would be my first approach.

It may work at first, but it will devolve into a stratified system of people who can afford it, and those who can't.
Case in point: Eizo (which I'd consider one of the top manufacturers for serious use) do not do Thunderbolt at all AFAIK. The USB-C inputs only do DP.
Yes.

1. They didn't. Because ask three people, and they will give you five answers on what exactly PWA support means (every time it's a different set of random APIs)

2. There's Android that holds 70% of world's market share and none of the imagined "killing" that Apple does. Unsurprisingly, there's still not a single mind-bending paradigm-shifting PWA that would show the world just how great PWAs is and just how exactly "Apple is killing PWAs"
Have you ever used said MacBook intensively with OSX? I guarantee you the difference in trackpad performance will be mind boggling and frustrating. Literally the only thing keeping me away from using Linux.
A USB-C -> DisplayPort adaptor will work just fine. I literally just bought one yesterday to drive my 27" 1440p (@165hz!) gaming monitor with my new Mac Studio. Works fine. Cost about $15. It only gets a little iffy if you need specially 4k120. For anything less it doesn't need much.
It's at least true for millinnials or can even be stretched to gen X. Everything was decided before you were born if you're in that age range. Not even a debate. But as a universal principle? I don't think so. If society wasn't controlled this tight, intelligence would have actually played a role. We're just very unlucky generation. The people above were well aware of Ai cybernetics even when Baby Boomers were literally babies. Can't afford social class instability. I feel sorry for my generation.
If you can make pseudorandom numbers well enough deterministically in polynomial time, you can simulate any algorithm in BPP in polynomial time on a deterministic turing machine, so BPP = P

> China and Russia HATE each other

That is definitely 100% untrue, I have enough empirical evidence that there are no practical solid grounds for that claim.

> Saudi Arabia and Iran HATE each other

They've recently reestablished political relations, did they? Don't know much about their day-to-day feelings, but there is a clear political will towards predictable coexistence.
Yes? Why do you need 100000 characters of JS? Maybe de-bloat your shit.
Also grepping through that is even easier than 100_000 lines (which I assumed you meant since grepping over one line of 1_000_000 characters takes so little time that is not any kind of argument)
