On the other hand, Twitter basically predated smartphones and tablets. I recall a time when you had to use WAP to read and SMS to send tweets. To avoid absurd fees, most people would only use internet on their stationary computer. Compare it with today when there are supposedly 7 billion smartphones while most colleagues seem to use them 24/7.

I mean, you say "is this it?", but the multi-language support of literally all other Android keyboards I've used are basically unusable. Take Google's default keyboard, it requires you manually switch languages for swiping and predictive text to work. But that's completely unworkable for the way multi-lingual people end up actually typing texting. I swap back and forth across languages, even if just for 1 or 2 words and having to explicitly toggle languages is a MAJOR speedbump in typing.

Swiftkey just lets me auto-complete/swipe in multiple languages seamlessly. Want to swipe 1 English word inside a completely Dutch sentence? No problem. The reverse? No problem. Using Google's keyboard the same way is endlessly frustrating.
Microsoft deleted the public support forum for Office365 software like Powerpoint online: a product that makes money. Of course those who pay are rarely the primary users, so why hear their voice…
There are so many steps and sidesteps there! Could someone who has access to GPT-4 API feed this text in and ask it to produce the topological or chronological step-by-step form of it? I’d be curious to see it.
I too recall the Eye Toy. It was better as a webcam on my PC than it was connected to my PS2, at least until microsoft killed it by requiring signed drivers.
Back in the days rockets were more or less unique, because the tech was new and every bit of efficiency mattered. But the common trope among the designers was always "launch on a modular rocket, assembly from pieces in LEO, depart anywhere". And orbital assembly and modular launchers have followed in 1980s/90s, when the extreme optimization didn't matter so much anymore.

It's interesting to see SpaceX taking the path of a custom-tailored launcher again, trying to integrate everything as tightly as possible (especially speaking of their direct Mars flight concept). This would probably be impossible to scale without designing a new system from scratch, so they have to get everything right. Kind of the Amiga of the spaceflight.
I've addressed LiFePo4 in my blog and why I'm not yet running this.

I'm trying to respond to some comments, but since this is not my thread, I'm rate-limited.

> Let's talk about the battery. I've chosen to use a large used lead-acid battery even though Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries beat lead-acid in every metric. I bought the battery second-hand for €100 so that's not a significant investment for a battery. Although it's a bit worn-down and the capacity is reduced, it is still good enough for me to run my computer setup for 10 hours after a full charge. The lead-acid battery also serves another purpose: is a relatively cheap option for me to validate my setup. If it works as intended, I might opt to upgrade to lithium (LiFePO4) at some point."
From the article:

> This is exactly what the PTO examiner would do. Believe it or not, many of the examiners in software have Computer Science backgrounds and are perfectly capable of this. It is not black magic anymore.
> To play the devil's advocate: Is it though?

Yes. Copyright already protects what a patent granted for source code would protect.

The problem you describe exists in both scenarios, and is resolved with enforcement. You can sneakily break the law, and you run the risk of getting caught for fraud.
Laws don't cover romhacks and mods. Emulation (but only the emulator part - the dumping your games to a ROM process isn't) is covered but otherwise this is not the case by any stretch of the imagination.

What's legal (in the US - in Europe, almost everything that doesn't directly enable piracy, so pretty much stopping short of allowing flashcards is legal thanks to a decision made in 2011) is building an emulator and making a cheating device for a game console. Otherwise there's no precedent for this (and game companies are reluctant to set one considering the previous times they tried to get one, it blew up in their faces) and the laws do lean in favor of the game publishers.

Modern console modding involves both reverse engineering (something with only an interoperability exemption in the DMCA under fairly heavy conditions surrounding scope and not publishing your findings) and bypassing Technical Protection Measures (the laws term for any form of DRM, regardless of effectiveness - your DRM doesn't need to be good to be protected, it just needs to exist and you need a good legal team - this is how Spotify's security works btw), which is almost entirely illegal in the US unless you're either a registered library (which is pretty much the only preservation entity acknowledged by US copyright law) or need to do it to enable interoperability (under the same conditions as the reverse engineering restrictions, so no sharing your findings).

Post-scriptum: I am not a lawyer, least of all a US one, speak to your actual lawyer for legal advice.

> LiFePo4, you’re looking at a decade, maximum, before they’re trash.

I think they will be at 80% after a decade, thus not trash.

If you have the space, 6V or even 2V OPzS cells can be huge.
The US doesn't have particularly high GDP per hour worked:

If I recall correctly there's a certain length videos need to be to get adverts or to be monetised - something like ~10 minutes. So while this one is a little bit played out (maybe this happens to get an extra set of ads in the middle) the worst are when you have 2-3 minutes of information streeeeeetched out to 10 minutes.
Aside from the solver being a little smarter. Just syntactically, it might be fine with x,y,z but brute force looping over a,b,c,d...w,x,y,z is gonna take a really really wide monitor.
LiFePo4 batteries are very safe and do not have the thermal runaway problem that LiPo batteries do when they are damaged due to improper charging, abuse, or manufacturing defect.
Yeah, I know. But I would have hoped that Apple recognises how many developers are struggling with Docker for Mac and has pockets deep enough, and engineering competence available, to alleviate that pain a little.

It would be way easier to build a Mach/Linux Kernel bridge in the style of WSL2 than it was for Windows, for example.
It seems you didn't read the article. There was no defunct brand that Montanez revitalized. He was involved in some marketing efforts and may have played a role in a derivative "Flaming" line product and some other Latino-targeted flavors.

But the confirmed lies that he chose to spread, with the bumbling help of his mentor (who clearly has personal commitments to the community the lies are most meant to appeal to), are beyond excusable.

There's nothing to hand-wave here. It's the nakedly cynical, anti-social effort of an egotistical con man. It should be shamed off the air, the movie should be shamed out of production and their names should live on in infamy as pathetic liars. Richard Montanez and Al Cary, the pathetic liars who think you're all chumps.

To do anything else is to contribute to the degradation of vital social fabric.
I'm mixing east and west, sorry, I'm going to update my article.

I’ve read quite a few times that more girls take higher level maths as well as sciences at second level than boys, but this reverses when it comes to third level. My anecdotal school experience was that higher maths as well as chemistry and biology had more girls than boys while physics had slightly more boys.
Besides the obvious but hopeful flaw with ignoring the risks, your assessment of the number of people benefiting from sideloading is also a few orders of magtitude off
Do you mean per-capita or over all? Because a very few countries with a bigger number of populations than US have free-education. If the former, can you provide a data source?

You basically have no rights under modern copyright law. Derivative content is extremely restricted and pretty much arbitrarily controlled by the copyright owner. This is by design.

If you want to change that, don't complain to Nintendo, complain to your representatives who made the system that way to begin with. Nintendo has the rights at the moment, while you, the consumer, don't.
Simultaneously lacking real mode and paging support did kind of restrict it to embedded use cases
Check out these exciting new AI development tools for B2B companies that can help accelerate development and achieve success in the industry. While the article comes from a company's blog, it provides valuable information for anyone interested in AI development. Let's discuss in the comments how these tools could impact the industry.
A good bunch of comments here tapping into the old fallacy of "intellectual property is {good,bad} except in these other domains I don't understand the problems of and my work isn't directly affected by".

I've yet to see a case against software patents that doesn't also apply to all other modern patents rather than being compared to some easily comprehensible mechanical contraptions from the 1920s.
Right, so you armchair lawyer about how you have all these rights, but when it’s pointed out you don’t actually have them you’re just in favor of having those rights.

Nintendo spends a lot of money creating that content and we like that. That’s why we have created a framework that allows them to make money out of that investment. We limit your right to do whatever you want so they can make money.
> Is this part actually coming from artists

Yes. The group of artists that are suing Stability AI and Midjourney are calling for consent, credit, and compensation.
https://stablediffusionlitigation.com/

> Since then, we’ve heard from peo­ple all over the world—espe­cially writ­ers, artists, pro­gram­mers, and other cre­ators—who are con­cerned about AI sys­tems being trained on vast amounts of copy­righted work with no con­sent, no credit, and no com­pen­sa­tion.

I think the details of credit and compenstation aren't as important, because once you require consent, artists can decide whether they're happy with the compensation model and choose to give consent (or not) based on that.
Morning meetings are the worst.

I'd much prefer mid afternoon meetings. I can wake up, get to work, minimal interuptions and then be confident of where I'm at by mid afternoon.
> I sort of regret going with a 48V system because it prevents me from plugging in a lot of devices directly to the battery

I think there are plenty of 48->12 volt DC-DC converters that will alleviate this issue.

Having built a rather large app using SvelteKit, I found the routing scheme to make lots of sense actually. You always know what code is located where, concepts transfer everywhere consistently, and concerns are nicely separated.
> The consequences of failure in America are lower;

Several fellow commenters have already pointed out as the contrary is actually true, and I'd like to add a corollary: risking everything you have in a business is simpler in the USA than abroad because the society knows that they will lend a helpful lend should you lose everything.

Safety nets are a thing worldwide, and they cost money; thus some responsibility is imposed to each individual in order to limit the risks.
Ifff you are sure you got everything else right, look into color space / gamma tags. Latest versions of Resolve allow to provide these tags in export settings. Sometimes you may need to use tags different than Resolve's default to make it render with correct gamma/color in QT, vimeo etc.
While that might be the case France has an excellent math culture at the research level. There's a lot of French folks in the Deep Learning community. LeCun, François Chollet among others, and France has won 13 Fields medals, way ahead of anyone but the US (at 15). France probably has the strongest math community in Europe.
Say I want to repair Microsoft Word.

One implementation of this right is requiring Microsoft to give me access to the source code, build tooling, any engineering documents and perhaps access to the dev team depending on how far this law would go.

Another implementation, that I feel is far fairer is allowing me to interface with Microsoft Word so I could develop an alternate route to repair whatever functionality isn't working.

Microsoft already does the latter though maybe not to the level desired. They have C#, VBScript and COM. I recall using COM Interop in C# to get access to online presence data from Microsoft Lync.
Ask HN: Wrote a technical book but risk of getting fired
I just recently wrote a technical programming book, and of course, I have promoted it inside the company.

However, all of the sudden, my manager put me on a PIP, despite explaining that I wrote the book on my free time. Along that conversation, my manager implicitly felt that I was working on the book on my working hours, which is absurd reason or cause for being put on a PIP.

I am performing, and not slacking off in my work. With this experience in mind, does this mean I should use a pseudonym for writing a book in the future?
> If some expression looks complicated, try graphing it and see if you get any insight into how it behaves.

This is not always a good idea. Some functions have complicated behavior that makes them either plain hard to draw (e.g. sin(1/x) near 0), or reach very high values but also be near 0, or be otherwise tricky.
That's interesting. "Support for the war" is not an expression that makes a lot of sense to me. Nobody in their right mind wakes up in the morning and tells themselves "yes, I am going to fight in the war just for the sake of it, I love wars", those who fight usually believe that although war is gruesome (which it is), they will be in a better shape if they continue fighting than if they just surrender to the mercy of conqueror.

Do you maybe want your country to abstain from the conflict, save money/resources and let the survival of the fittest take place? What side do you believe it will benefit?
I'm not particularly "defensive" about units.

I would however point out that I am not British, I'm Scottish.
Maintaining this site fucking sucks
There was also an Electro revival in the 2000s that sounds nothing like the original, people called it electroclash but now I see a lot of people calling it just electro.

In the end, the differences are minimal, and the more trivial they are, the more people squabble about it. Add or remove a keyboard pad and you have a new genre which people will hate.
How cold is "cold" ? Here in the Netherlands we rarely get more than a couple of days per year with temperatures much below zero.
> Germany is the only country I'm aware of other than Islamist theocracies that goes after people posting lewds with such an insane ferocity.

Well that's because this prosecution has been automated by the "Landesmedienanstalten" with "KIVI" which automatically scans most larger sites with UGC. From what I've heard they don't seem to seize anything in these prosecutions -- which is quite unusual, normally German police will seize all "digital devices" from suspected cybercriminals (just for a few years).

Increasing prosecutions by a factor X is seen as a huge success by the "Medienanstalten" btw., they boast quite openly about this on their own websites. More prosecution is more gooder.

I mean none of this is particularly surprising, these offices and their laws are one of the main driving forces behind mandatory ID checks and internet censorship in germany. Your comparison to similarly behaving theocratic executives is apt, especially considering the prussian origin of the underlying laws.
IMO, here’s a lot of room for improvement for German, because it’s a real dice roll whether a compound noun will be recognised or not. You can try swiping the components individually, but then you have to go deleting spaces everywhere. Unless there’s a feature I’m missing?

This is the sort of thing I think someone would have found a better solution for if more languages (and possibly English in particular) had non-spaced compound nouns.
My brother and his wife are both maths teachers. They say the opposite is now true. Girls receive most of the encouragement.
I remember such a piece of code, perhaps the shortest ever created! It was 4 instructions in the machine language of ancient British ICL1900 computers. I - together with my colleague - spent some hours to understand it - firstly, what it does and then how and why it works!
The problem was that ICL1900 had a rather obscure method of storing 6-bit characters in its 24-bit words (yes, bytes were unknown in ICL computers). To copy character strings indexing was used but character position was stored on the first two bites of the index word while the word address offset on the right part of the index. Since memory was extremely valuable, the rest part of the index was used for the counter. Thus fetch and store instructions were working such that after a character was accessed counter was decremented and 1 was added to the 2-bit character position subregister with overflow used to increment address offset every 4th character. Very clever solution because the string copying loop was very tight!
The 4 instruction sequence we tried to interpret was a macro modifying character index register backward allowing to use of an almost identical loop for copying a string starting from its end... It was using arithmetic overflow in a way we weren't able to understand, and we hadn't access to hardware :-)
The question comes from a kind of confusion. We know the requirements of LLMs. How can we run the hardware it is currently working on, only the big LLM, with an 11Gb graphics card? I really didn't mind!
Remotely managed user disillusioned when confronted with an example of how their, and their managements' incentives misalign.
Method one if you have access to both doors of the plane. They tell you which entrance to use based on your row number. (First half uses the first entrance, second uses the rear)

Method two: You start boarding based on your zone number. The people seated in the rear go first.

It sounds like a combination of the two would be even better but it would be hard to manage.

Isn't this how it's done around the world?

(Last piece of the puzzle to solve the biggest issue with boarding, you need dedicated flight attendends who will find a place for your carry on. They sometimes even ask some people to take their smaller items from out of the bin and put them under the seat)
Kann nicht sein was nicht sein darf.
I don't understand; surely teacher supply is a relevant factor? More/better/less strained teachers encourage people to want to study maths, and help them do so.
12v DC power systems is a sub-niche in both the RV and ham radio communities. I know of someone locally who has most of his house on 12v lighting and some appliances, to be able to take advantage of solar without the high expense and hassle of a grid-tied system.
Say no and keep sitting there. Will police be called?
So weird no one else put this in standard American times, considering its an American launch.

It might look complicated at first sight, but once you actually use it you really appreciate the way it's structured.
In addition to my engineering degree, I also received a token degree in mathematics from the university where I studied.

It seems that this is a vestige of the past when the university was established and the only way to include engineering as a subject of study was to classify it as a subdivision of mathematics.

Although the university is not currently based in the UK, there was a time when it did not permit Catholics to enroll as students either...
> ...reprograms the CPU into a sensible mode (ie, one without all this segmentation bullshit)...

Protected mode still has segmentation except that segment registers now index into either a global or local descriptor table (DT). Linux tries to make this transparent by setting up descriptors where logical addresses coincide with linear addresses (at least for CS and DS).
> Let's call these things Techno v.0.1-0.8 or so.

Yep, that’s definitely what it is. Still not stylistically homogenous as late techno, but lots of ideas and the foundation was already there.
You're on. 20$ on it launching this launch window, mon 17th april.
Sure, look at the Hmong in the US. Poor and rural before they came to the US, and still, on average, pretty poor and doing pretty badly in the US.

Meanwhile, I have a lot of Chinese, Hongkongese, and Korean coworkers whose families are well-off enough that they don't need to work for a living, have relatives who don't work for a living, etc.

So yes, lots of first-generation immigrants in US come from serious money overseas, and the ones who don't have worse outcomes on average.
You should find a new job.
> Engineering is not glamorous here at all, which I think is a shame because it's a productive, generative, job, with good qualifications needed, and it has a good earning potential.

Big focus on money here.

Being an engineer is also:

- rewarding in its own right (you *build* things)

- an achievement to be proud of

- a way to have a long lasting net contribution to society with - usually - little moral downside

I'd put these ahead of any financial reward.
I write in two languages several times throughout the day, and worse: I code-switch all the time between the two (in the same text, that is).

That is definitely the killer feature for me. So I have an old version of swiftkey, blocked Internet access because fuck me if I let Microsoft snoop on all I write, and an xposed module (Exi) with useful mods.

PS: if anyone has a Free Software alternative I'm all ears.
This is just a meme, an overwhelming majority of the React team ar still at Meta.
Their upcoming upper stage prototypes don't have a heat shield anymore, and the FAA launch license mentions that they won't survive reentry. So reentry of the upper stage doesn't seem to be their focus in the foreseeable future. They are probably more interested in making the lower stage reusable, since it has many more (expensive) engines than the upper stage.
Not sure if you saw but there's a great little German startup called "We Do Solar" who produce solar panels specifically for use on Balconies. My house has a flat roof and we'll be putting solar up there in the near future but I also plan to get panels for the balcony on our second floor as it runs the full width of the house and should add quite a chunk of generation capacity (downside is it's west facing so will only really provide power from the afternoon until the sun goes down).
>However, even though I sometimes work alone, I do not allow my team to work remotely from wherever they want and require them to come to the office.

What makes you think that you should be able to do it, but they dont? From performance perspective
