Intel does have a pointer tagging feature called Linear Address Masking. Why it's called that I don't know.

(On ARM it's called TBI/top byte ignore, on AMD it's called UAI/upper address masking.)

This is different from pointer signing which it doesn't have.
What’s “security”? Money in the bank?
Some phones did. FM too. Sony I think? Early-mid 2000s I'm thinking.
The hive analogy is quite apt.

Hives operate very differently now than they did in the 90s, but what this gets right is that the flickering light the coders are attracted to is some kind of engineering grace, usually a thought leader or software guru or just a really nice person who is also incredibly hard working, deeply skilled in several domains including pure computer science, and a banger coder.

Other engineers get jazzed in such a situation and the music flows. But 10 years seems to be about the max you can keep an original hive together.
> It's a strong sign that the model fundamentally works

I think that's a bit early to tell. If the launch costs + satellite costs don't add up to a very nice profit before the satellite de-orbits then that was a loss. This can look like it is working well until the number of satellites de-orbiting and needing to be replaced becomes larger than your temporary profits after launching the first constellation.

This is why other comms satellite operators chose to play it safe and use geo stationary orbits rather than LEO, those satellites live many times longer and you need far fewer of them. Obviously they are limited in bandwidth and latency but they are ultra reliable.
I remember being really surprised that a guy from the Netherlands was talking to me about American governors. I didn't even really care about his opinion, I was more interested in why we knew something like a foreign countries states governors.

I couldn't even tell you what kind of government the Netherlands has lol could be a monarchy for all is know hah
What specific aspects of the American way of thinking do you not like? Genuinely curious.
That's true. Win32 has been undefeated.
> the UX works more or less alright, but many of the default applications, and specially the settings, control panel, etc. are just an inconsistent mess, awful flat UI without any kind of colors, etc.

The whole GTK2/3, now 4? and KDE, Plasma, Kirigami, what have you nowadays, isn't an inconsistent mess? I was using Linux (fedora 37) recently and it was not a consistent experience, either.

If anything, W11 is more consistent across all applications even if the settings/control panel have a weird Jekyll/Hyde personality to it at times.
I think it would be fantastic if delusional urban people would grow their own food and supply their own cities with non rural distribution chains. Hey, it's local first after all. No potatoes from Idaho. No more avocados from Mexico, no coffee beans from South America to supply your morning latte habit.

Thanks to the inevitable drop in population upon enacting such a shortsighted policy, it would also fix any admittedly ephemeral concerns you might have about CO2.
IIRC Mac OS 9.0.x had significant changes for users directly booted into it, as did 9.1 (though to a lesser extent). I think it was 9.2.X that was mostly focused on usage with Classic.
So you are essentially acting like your father, delaying introducing contemporary technology into your child's world? I am not saying it's necessarily a bad thing, but even back in the days there was (low res) pornography and predators on Internet, and on TikTok such blatant things are well filtered out and harm is more subtle. Bottom line, you got a career out of your exposure to potentially dangerous online world back in the day, there is risk but there is also an opportunity.
I wonder how you can prevent the usual pitfalls of completely made up nonfunctional code AIs can produce for systems like this. I'd also like to see more complex examples that includes more advanced query features.
The open-source community loves recommending ubuntu to people who don't know how to access a boot menu; the dissemination of debloating tools like tronscript or bloatynosy is the best practical way to combat these antifeatures.
This is an interesting, fallacious take. Basically: one thing about some time in the past was bad, thus everything about it was bad.

Higher wealth disparity, based on its impact on social stability, measured independently, is bad. Racism/sexism are bad. The impact of things must be measured separately, so our ideas regarding how to improve society are higher resolution and more accurate.
They get away with it because they're cute damn them
Those usage numbers are actually higher than I expected, but maybe that is because they are framed in relation to FM and usage of FM is way down in those demos too.
California too. Google may show that traffic jam, accident stuff, but AM frequency has repeated goverment or official information.
I think Norway already turned their analog radio network of (so AM and FM) in favour of digital. So the answer would be the same in both cases: the broadcaster has to update to newer technology to keep listeners.
Fascinating. The bacterial world is full of useful enzymes. There are even bacteria capable of cleaning up enriched uranium and hexavalent chromium.
Why did you come to this conclusion? Was there a follow up reply, where he elaborated?
Doubtful.

Setting it up for him means passing up on an opportunity for him to learn by doing it himself. Automatic upgrades means passing up on another such opportunity.

Not a good way to start.
Yeah, I’ve already been running llama.cpp locally, but not found it to perform at the level attested in the comment (30B model as a chat bot on commodity hardware). 13B runs okay, but inference appears generally too slow on to do anything useful on my MacBook. I wondered what you might be doing to get usable performance in that context.
I've found Sandbox to be an easy way to circumvent endpoint protection (s/w firewalls and the like).

By design, its a sandboxed os without non-microsoft bloat.

No one is contending that using scooters is bad for the user. They are saying a bunch of drunk users are using them recklessly for non-users and are getting in people's way by parking them all over the sidewalks and streets.

An aggressive ticketing campaign isn't very helpful in a city with a lot of tourists, because they'll just go home without having paid the ticket. Is Interpol going to seek out 30 euros?
Now Paris needs to ban electric vehicles. The same story. They started it, the will ban it. After a few building will be burnt beyond repair, of course
Philip Glass compositions may seem rather unvaried, but there are subtle geometric intricacies that may be more rewarding to listen and discover if listeners were aware of them. His works may not seem as eventful as Bach, Mozart or Beethoven, as it requires closer attention to observe such traits.
sequential reads are the best case scenario for ssds. writes degrade, as they're first committed to SLC cache before being written to slower tlc/qlc.
it's going to be even less if they get blanket-bans from cities, so what is your point? that they should give away 5 minutes of their time for free as a promo illegaly, against the new blanket ban law in Paris and become wildly successful that way?

I wonder if it's less cost and more about a support angle.

If they get a mere handful of customers tying up service people on "the AM radio was crystal clear on my 1992 Camry with manual-everything, it must be my new $60k electric car being busted!" it's probably more costly than telling the software developers to deselect a build flag.
bandwidth matters a lot. it's why SpaceX pays so much on legal fees for fcc filings
I am also one that doesn’t really enjoy total specialization but every single thing I can come up with, looks like a hobby compared to being a developer financially.
Tbf you can uninstall all these apps (rage about windows being preinstalled with bloatware, but thats been a thing forever), and if you feel like you are technical enough to use linux, then you are absolutely technical enough to open regedit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ContentDeliveryManager, and disable all that 'user experience' stuff.
It sounds like the parent comment is talking about expanding & improving bike lanes, rather than forcing electric scooters into car lanes (where they are at risk), undersized bike lanes (where they endanger bicyclists), or banning them outright (where you’re now stuck with more demand for car traffic).

I don't get this at all. What was wrong with a simple mechanical latch with a mechanical key? It doesn't need power, there's little to break, and little to understand.

There's so much absolute garbage getting thrown on these cars, like electric/electronic emergency brakes. Who in their right mind thinks this is a good idea?
Why not just ban parking them in underground garages instead? Some LPG powered cars do have such a restriction in some EU states. Gas powered vehicles catch fire and burn as well. I've seen countless burning cars during the last heatwave.
I was going to point out that it is kind of a spectrum but decided to try and see what I can make of binary differentiation. You're right it's not great, too vague, writing doesn't like that and favors black and white thinking and neat causality chains, but few are able to see it as a limitation of writing as medium instead of how things "actually" are.

Yes, what a bizarre comment! I'm not some nutter who goes out to learn how to make fire with sticks in the woods, but I can certainly readily light a barbecue with matches and kindling.
That's way too dramatic for small annoyances you (as an experienced PC dad) could avoid

I mean, you never could trust, and earlier the security was much worse, yet for some rose-tinted-glasses reason Windows was alive
your history is a bit off. the fcc commissioner and fcc has generally loved SpaceX, and they were not appointed by Biden. what happened was SpaceX continually got worse in the fcc samknows testing, so much so that their original application for $900M was far from the service they actually offered. for that reason they paused the funding until SpaceX improved things to the point they promised. they still have not improved and have continued declining.
It'll never get to capacity where he lives, because he lives in a semi-rural area that has a low population density.
Browser support (including Safari support) is the main reason why expensive desktop Macs eventually become paperweights, as has happened to my father in the last year. Safari, Firefox, Chrome, all stuck at ancient and insecure versions, with the web slowly breaking on these older browsers.

Despite how glossy and powerful the machine still is, if it doesn't have a working web browser it's only semi-valid. Watched my Dad go through this three times in the last 20 years, and no stranger to it myself. My own current Macbook Air is just a thin client for a Remote Windows instance, but I suppose eventually that the browser interface for that is going to become a problem too, when it 'ages out'.

first, rental scooters in Paris are very commonly geofenced and restricted <10km/h in dangerous areas (or automatically completely disabled in some areas)

second, regarding this:

> People usually don’t cycle as quick consistently through cities, pressing a button on a scooter

there are at least 8000 electric bicycles for rent scattered throughout Paris, how in the world is pressing a button on an electrical bicycle any different from pressing a button on a scooter? And I highly doubt your claim that people are e-biking any slower than scooters, too.
It’s a bit sad that it’s just an end-user feature. I tried using it for UI automation but hit some roadblocks
Please use the right name.

These are rental e-scooters. It's not like a scooter shared between friends with no profit motive involved.

> because cities don't provide good alternatives

Strong counter-point. In my city there is a decent amount of bike parking. Yet I've often seen scooters not parked at a nearby bike parking area, even though there's space.

I got very angry with a guy last summer who left his rental e-scooter in the middle of the park pathway next to me, when available bike parking was about 30 feet away. Anyone with a stroller or walker would have had to go on the grass to get around it.

And e-scooter parking seems to take up more width than bicycles. I've seen people park their (non-shared/non-rental) bikes at the edge of the sidewalk, either against a building wall, or against a sign.

They often leave a lot of space between the rental e-scooter and the wall, because people get off a scooter with feet on both sides of the scooter, and because it's too bulky to scooch over to the side, thus blocking more of the sidewalk.

Certainly cars take of an undue amount of space. But that doesn't mean you can assert that cities like Paris only have car parking as the alternative, when they also have bike parking, and have been active in switching away from cars.
In the case of Mass Effect 3 you also remember from Mass Effect 2 how you got punished with dead crew members if you continued with side missions after they got abducted.
The example they gave of another company getting IDE Approval (Synchron) makes it seem possible, but I don't know how much of this is just general governmental inefficiencies and some level of systemic bias against Elon (stemming from big oil & auto). Or is the startup mentality of move fast and break things just not as applicable in this domain?
The developer, obviously.
They didn't have to meet any performance targets until 2024 at the earliest so that was a bogus justification. They were fairly close but were cutting performance a bit to reach more customers pending the launch of more satellites.

And just because Rosenworcel was appointed by Obama instead of Biden doesn’t mean she’s not a loyal part of the Biden administration.
The only time our Starlink drops is during the heaviest of upper midwest downpours, so I really wouldn't worry about a backup unless you absolutely need 100% instead of 99.999% uptime.
Sufficiently advanced misguidance is indistinguishable from harassment.
I won't be surprised if some of their folks go to jail.

I work in the industry, have designed and tested many similar devices, and the credible accounts I've read of the things they did are criminal.
Here in Tel Aviv, they'll never get rid of them for at least one reason: they're the only form of at-least-semi-public transportation available on the weekend (Shabbat) and Jewish holidays, when the law forbids buses and trains from running.

Meet a date at 10 PM on Friday night? Scoot. Catch the Saturday 5 AM tour bus to a day-hike that's meeting on the other side of town? Scoot.

They've also helped boost demand for better bike-lane infrastructure, which has gotten much better in the last 5-10 years.

I rarely use them, but I'm glad they exist.
Mac/Windows aren't interested, but Linux is that + not capable, were doomed :(
This post is basically about the author's nostalgia for his early days of computing with Windows 95 and how he wanted his son to have the same experience.

This post is screaming out for Linux. Linux is the solution to his dilemma. If he reformats that drive and puts say Kubuntu on it - the kid's first PC experience is going to be a vaguely retro 90's style shell with a start menu, the start menu is going to have a Games folder and even a Science & Math folder. (I don't think Scratch is installed by default but he should install it.) Better than Win95! There will be no commercial nags, no pre-installed social media apps, no news about mass shootings.

And of course it's Linux, so there's infinite opportunity to get under the hood and tinker.
Yeah, but the base models really are crippled by a lack of storage. I've had to help a couple of family members with their 128GB Macs and 16GB iPhones and I hated every second of it. I bought my partner a Macbook with maxed out storage just so I don't have to deal with that shit again.
I'm fairly happy with my situation:
Windows 10 work machine, I do almost everything in WSL. WSL is pretty impressive these days, with native graphical support and decent filesystem and device interoperability. Windows has come a long way; it has a decent terminal now and utilities like ssh and curl have been added to stock cmd.exe . I've been able to turn off all the awful ad stuff. Never crashes, and I can do vertical taskbar and three monitors easy.

Then I have a kubuntu laptop / convertible tablet for all my personal projects which as you say is great but has lots of weird issues like rarely surviving sleep, screen tearing, high touchpad latency, etc.

The big win is avoiding Apple.
I guess tech's "move fast and break things" approach may not be ideal when it comes to devices that could cause permanent, irreversible brain damage...
That makes a review site useless though
I think that their weight and speed and where one can park them needs to be regulated. Hungary has at least done the last bit in Budapest with rectangles marked in green on the sidewalk. City councils can also rent out this space, preventing scooter chaos. They're also overbuilt for anti vandalism, weighting over 20 kilos. If one hits a pedestrian with a rental scooter, it can cause bad injuries. High speed also puts the scooter operator in danger. Since it's a rental, nobody wears a helmet and almost everybody drives them irresponsibly. Limiting their mass and speed would limit their impact energy.
There's already plenty of competition going for the profitable market segments - I know of at least 4 LEO satellite ISPs that are currently operating aside from SpaceX. Residential ISP in space is not one of those by most good estimates of costs and prices. Even SpaceX themselves are saying this.
Calisthenics was not previously the realm of social status, money or prestige, but there is an industry that "gives" people at the top a place to hold status, both social and financial.

I think this happened to a lot of typically very regular low status arenas when the "Influencer" was born, and being good at something non-profitable could now be turned into views, advertising and thus money and fame.

Now every grassroots arena can be converted into a vehicle for money and fame, and you have people famous for lots of non-competitive arenas. Like modifying cars, cycling for fun not racing, just generally being fit... there are people famous for making How To Make a Game videos who are considered authorities on the topic, who have never actually made a game.

Japanese mobile games, namely Fate/Grand Order and Princess Connect! Re:Dive. Playing on the Japanese home servers, mind, since I speak Japanese.

That's great when you never leave a 10 square mile bubble in the Bay Area.

its also important to acknowledge privilege is valuable but not necessary. i know we're saying the same thing but it's important for the people on the other side to see and say it from the other side.

yale, xoogler are more bits of information the gatekeepers use. but not having those bits doesn't exclude oneself from the game. it's hard, being on the outside, i just want to make sure to say it. play another game. make another door. people like brand names. i get it it's a thing. it's just not the only thing.

we choose to all play the same games using the same signals in the same way. looking backwards for trends forward. only we don't have to. because the future is unknown.
Reversing the aging process looks to be much easier problem to solve than uploading the brain. I dont understand why Elon didnt put his money in that direction. Luckily some people are starting to understand how close we are at solving reversing aging (measured in decades).

We can then have "you won an argument" sticker for breakfast.
Me too, because learning Turbo Pascal 3.0 after Turbo Basic, using all the versions up to Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.5, showed me a path to systems programming without C, and safety.

Also why alongside Turbo Pascal, when I came to learn C via Turbo C 2.0 and a book on RatC, the high school teacher also happened to have a copy of the newly released Turbo C++ 1.0.

So in 1993, it became clear to me that the alternative to Turbo Pascal, as cross platform language could only be C++, C already looked primitive by Turbo Pascal standards in early 1990's, and at least C++ provided the language features to be almost as safe as TP, with similar feature level.
If you are that unique then obviously you will need to develop your own unique operating system to perfectly get what you want...

For me, either Mac or Linux works just fine, no fighting required. I am just not that special.
