... I've always been amazed how often "Was that wrong?" works.

I guess I shouldn't be. Even letting them know you were fully aware you were breaking the law, most people would see its intended purpose -- to bring a little peace and comfort to a very old woman -- and have their own compassion kick in.

YMMV but I'm guessing you'd hear something along the lines of "Oh,... well,... (shuffles feet) ... just turn it off, then". Many of us have elderly people in our lives we wish we could provide some comfort to and most of us know we're headed there (if we're lucky to live that long). You know, assuming your 20m radius FM transmitter didn't, say, cause some cataclysmic event/knock emergency services offline for several city blocks, etc.

Put another way, while some police actually will pull you over and write you a ticket for going a couple of miles (km) per hour over the speed limit, most won't waste the brain power/physical energy/thermal paper to bother enforcing it.

There’s a bit of missing context here where the media went out of their way to deliberately photograph Ashcroft and other DOJ speakers with the nude sculpture in the background. From BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/1788845.stm

> Photographers have gone to great lengths in the past to capture the scantily-clad female statue in the background as the Justice Department's top brass addressed the world's press.

…

> Hired drapes have previously hung in front of both statues for formal events, such as President George W Bush's visit to name the building after assassinated former attorney-general, Robert Kennedy.

…

> The drapes are reported to have been hanging since Monday, drawing to a close the sport of photographers who infamously sprawled on the floor to snap the former Attorney General Edwin Meese holding aloft his report on pornography in front of the female statue.

The awkward composition of the lead photo in the linked article is a decent example in itself.

Problem is, there was never that many of us. Hell, for most of human history there was less than 1/8 of us now.

> "When A happened, B happened" doesn't automatically imply causality in English

It's extremely context specific. Depending on how you say it and when, it can totally imply causality. I'm not sure you can argue there's nothing implied here: "He entered the room. When he pushed the button, the lights came on."

The Obama example depends a lot on who is part of the conversation and what are their typical views.
A door sensor, for when my kid was sleep walking. There are various door sensors out there on the market, but they all set off a siren. I just wanted something that would alert my phone and wake me up, in case she did it in the middle of the night. Your not supposed to wake up a sleep walker, and I sure as hell didn't want a siren going off in the middle of the night.

Kinda sorta worked ok...just in time for her to stop sleep walking.
As a cyclist in a town with a lot of cyclist, I see less aggressive behaviour in my town, than in the countryside where people are not used to cyclist.

There is one killer application for voice assistants: answering phone calls. I wish Siri could respond to all unknown phone numbers, screen promotional and robocalls, take notes if necessary and report what's important to me (and I need to be able to tell her what's NOT important). This is what the assistants should do, not switching lights or trying to play a random song.

Neither Siri nor its competition can do this. Speech recognition accuracy is not really important, it can just take voice notes as a fallback, or ask to "press 1" to talk to me directly.

Does Linux need Intel though? ARM Linux systems are surprisingly nice. Asahi Linux is probably going to be the best Linux laptop experience.

What should Intel be doing with Linux that they haven't already been doing for like 20 years?
It's probably not as cool as some of the other projects in here, but I've been working on a sound change applier, which is a hobbyist tool for applying sound change rules to a lexicon. You could use this to generate pronunciations for a language with particularly regular spelling, but these tools are mainly used for evolving constructed languages.

The way it works is it generates an NFA for a rule. You can define sets of sounds, some of which can be multiple characters long, and also define distinctive features, which allows you to define how sounds change by adding or removing them, but also allows you to match groups of sounds based on combinations of distinctive features. It builds up these ad-hoc sets of sounds and produces a prefix tree, which it uses as a template to build the NFA. Finally, the NFA is converted to a DFA for performance. It takes a while (the console app is much faster than the browser demo), but the rules run many, many times, so they need to be fast. It's essentially a special purpose regex engine. I'm working on bug fixes and some enhancements for now, but it basically works.

Ha! Family farms. Here in Iowa they are a dying (dead) breed. Folks make that claim similar to 'For the Children!'

Thank you, this is exactly what I was hoping for when posting.
Ah, with that I agree. We started that path already and it will get worse.
I think that's generally true. While it's not like you can easily get to every corner of the British Isles or Western Europe generally without a car, there's a lot you can do out of Dublin or London with public transit and maybe the odd cab ride. Generally good as Boston's public transit system is, other than taking the train to New York City, flying somewhere, or taking a bus to someplace that is mostly not very interesting without car transportation on the other end, your options are pretty limited beyond what's covered by the greater metro transit system.
As a former 3rd party seller on Amazon, selling clothing online is a waste of time/money as return rates are enormous and people cheat all the time so no non-manufacturers can actually make any profit. That was in the US, I assume in India the situation is way worse.
Because booking.com answers the question "where can I stay given place, date, and budget"? While direct access can only help you when you already know where are you going. The latter is fine if you travel to the same place many times, the former is more universal. As for reliability, I dunno, I used to travel a lot, and in my experience troubles mostly come with a particular destination, not with the method of booking. I.e. if a hotel is unreliable (poor business culture, or overbooking, or whatever), it's unrealiable.

Cool stuff. I've got the same hobby / part-time job (mostly on GrandMA consoles). I have done two-three experiments on custom software to emit DMX which I used for something like four events. For the physical interface I'm relying on MIDI controllers; I first want a software stack I can trust before going into hardware design.

Would love to discuss the topic some more! I don't often meet people with that same interest in lighting that want to build their own tools.
I have 8gig and its completely fine for webdev work. Its faster machine than my desktop. It has to be completely fine for majority of work people do on computers.
I have a "TV channel" app running on a Raspberry Pi serving up local video content to a schedule I create.

The Pi has a 5TB hard drive attached with perhaps 1000 videos or so. The app has a schedule and plays the videos according to the schedule. It starts up in the morning, plays tele-courses, moves on to old TV shows, an afternoon movie, after school shows begin around 3:00 PM, a comedy show around dinner time, an evening movie, some late-night content, then the Indian head and "We Will Resume Broadcasting Tomorrow Morning...."

It fills dead airtime by choosing randomly among (literally) thousands of YouTube short clips I have on the drive — or showing a title card indicating when the next show begins.

Partly it's a fantasy — to have my own "channel" with my own scheduled content — my fantasy station.

Partly it serves to put on content I would otherwise not be inclined to pull up, double click and watch. It adds the serendipitous element to TV watching that I miss before streaming. The movie "Charly" (1968) just came on last night and I am sure I have not seen it since I was a teenager — had to stop what I was doing and watch a few scenes I recall vividly.

If I understand the situation correctly, most of the chips in short supply use old fab processes which are not Intel's specialty.
Autonomous electric cars solve only some of the problems cars create while exarcebating others. In a world where semiconductors and rare minerals already cause a lot of geopolitical tensions, do you really think it is feasible to migrate most of the world cars to autonomous electric?

There is only one solution that solves all of the problems car create and has several other benefits. Rethink the urban and infrastructure development for walkability and shorter travels. We can't avoid it, like it or not.
Anything you can make in a shed is going to be far far far less resource intensive and therefore better for the environment than something that takes a multi-billion-dollar factory.

I wouldn't say significant. The vast majority of cyclists will use it mainly (or only) to travel to and from offices/schools/universities/shops. A tunnel that's closed at night will still be really useful. Especially if the alternative is not having a tunnel due to safety concerns.
The filaments will run off either AC or DC because they're basically just heaters. AC became the norm in mains-powered devices after electrification took off, but a lot of the early radios were powered by DC from batteries - initially this was seperate, possibly rechargable, low voltage battery for the filament supply and a disposable high-voltage battery, with the second battery being replaced by step-up devices using vibrators and transformers fairly early on.
I don't like mobile games, mostly because of IAP and ads. There's also an oversaturation of chess apps, but none where an AI can play your own variants, so I made www.chesscraft.ca

For years now it's the only mobile game I play, just about. The game took off a bit, but the core is still for me.

These fail a lot, without warning, and it's hard for me to work out why. Kits like those provided by Fluke are REALLY EXPENSIVE and it got me thinking here... Can I use the Flipper GPIO to build my own network tester?

I would love to be able to test continuity, failures, and even do a 10Gbit line test.

Anyone know if this is possible?
I also guess one has to take cultural differences into account. In some cultures one will get offended if you pick up a tab, in others it is expected to split the bill. Am I right?
PhD is the highest level of education. Despite your bias, farmers do value education, and have a lot more than you think.

As a College student I used to read lot of programming medium articles in my android phone but the app won't let me access to their premium articles without paying, so I have built an android app that let's me to read the premium articles for free.

> the Apple M1 laptop is an incredible value, offers 10x the performance the average person will need, with good battery life, a better OS/ecosystem...and its priced right!

Ehh... Is it?

I use the M1 issued by my employer. It's an okay machine in terms of hardware, but I absolutely loathe MacOS. I certainly wouldn't pay for the M1 at the price they sell it, way over expensive toy.

I vastly prefer my personal machine, which is a 4 year old Dell with Linux Mint installed. A joy to use, powerful enough for everything I do (development, gaming), and has a GPU I can use to play with StableDiffusion.

The only thing where the M1 is the winner is in battery life... But 99% of the time I use my laptop on my desk anyway, power supply is no issue.
They are also brand new. For the drug as well the company is actual very helpful and realistically after insurance and the companies assistance I have paid 2, $15 co-pays the last 2 years.

Thank you! No, that wasn't how I intend to mean it. If I recall correctly, the implementation was very restricted when the feature first launched in 2016. And if I recall correctly, it's not a feature which Apple would mention ever again.

Therefore, I have the impression that this is not a feature Apple would endorse much.
I believe (based on anecdotal and personal experience) that dementia may share some properties with psychedelics.

My mother began suffering from dementia a few months before she passed. The biggest clue to the similarities was one time when she was telling me that she was seeing demons in the corner of the room. About a month prior, I'd had a pretty potent DMT experience that seems to have innately "taught" me a few things. Based on that, I told her to think about Jesus Christ (she was quite religious), I gave her about 30 seconds (which, I was presuming, felt like much longer to her). When I then asked her what she was seeing, she said "bright colors and flowers". Emotion having that high of an effect on what she saw was very much like how psychedelics tend to amplify your emotions and bring them to the vision system.

She also would talk about how she just got back from writing a novel or a movie. Before my DMT experience, I didn't have the knowledge to be able to lean into it, so I'd challenge it. Afterwards, I knew enough to lean into it. I'd ask her about her latest "work". I believe that in her mind, she was actually traveling to write books and movies.

If you have a loved one suffering from dementia, I almost want to suggest that you should take some time (if possible) and have a small psychedelic experience (or, if you want, dive into DMT). It may help you greatly understand and support your loved one. If you don't want to have such an experience yourself, at least lean into what they say their experiences are, never fight against them.
> Nordic parts are easier - they actually have low power sleep that is fairly automatic.

Came here to say this. Started with the STM32WB5x for a BLE project but got so frustrated with it so I switched over to NRF52. Never looked back. I love (and use) the STM32x for many other applications but the STM32WB BLE-solution is just too opaque with the (close sourced) BLE stack running on the secondary core while still requiring a lot of low level collaboration from the main application core. Would have been a lot easier if was more isolated and just provided a standard HCI interface or something. I suppose one could argue to use a dedicated BLE IC in this case.

Anyway, I'm very happy with the NRF52 I'm using. The events, tasks and peripheral interconnects is also a really nice feature. Documentation is stellar as well IMO. My main gripe with it is that it only comes with one UART port. Two would have been nice. Perhaps the NRF52 successors comes with more. Haven't checked really.

I see that I need to explain this differently. By being on Hacker News, I assume you can program. Have you not ever made an abstraction? The Turing Machine is just an abstraction. It is the Class and individual real machines are the Objects. I’m not sure why people are even hung up on using theory to understand something.
Property taxes pay for schools and school computers so people are ultimately paying. But school issued helps with parents who can’t afford laptops or tablets, and I think this can be a good thing.

But in that case does artwork made for HDR render well on non HDR screen or do you need to do the double amount of work to support both?

There aren't yet that many people using HDR screens. Even 4K is still kind of a niche in most parts of the world as most people don't replace their TV more than once every 10-15 years and when it breaks they aren't necessarily ready to pay a premium for a quality they haven't experienced yet.

It is always the same issue. Why buying better stuff if there is no content and why make content if there are so few users? [1]
