That confirms my point - I'm saying that restriction, blocking access or making it a tabu never works, it does the exact opposite (and worse, because it builds a sense of urgency to have/experience the thing).

Instead of forbidding it, you have to teach the children about the actual dangers of doing the thing and how to do it safely, how to limit the damage and what are the limits they shouldn't cross - and the reasons for these limits.

Telling them "just say no" or "you have to wait until marriage" only makes them even more curious, and in many cases they will absolutely overdo it once they finally are out of the reach of their parents.
Intel has stopped using "nm" - it's meaningless anyway; hasn't been meaningful since 1994 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor_device_fabricati...).

Now it's just Intel 7 (currently in use), Intel 4 (successor to Intel 7 for internal use) and Intel 3 (based off Intel 4 for their foundry services).
The problem here would not seem to be the outsourcing, but the single-sourcing. That's entirely on the purchaser; whether they single-source it from a single private contractor or a single-source internal government provider isn't going to change anything, the problem is you need multiple sources.

A large purchaser may well have to go out of their way to ensure that too. No good having three sources for your gunpowder if they're all pulling the raw materials from the same single point of failure.
The most obvious rogue client device exploit is to pretend to be a mouse and/or keyboard, which on most devices will allow you to execute arbitrary code trivially, though not completely stealthily. "USB rubber ducky" is one such device available to consumers now. As for exploiting drivers: while the software might be 'trusted', I highly doubt that it is all actually secure. Emulating a USB device with a low-quality driver and then exploiting that driver by violating its assumptions about the hardware its expected to be talking to is a rich field of potential exploits (even on linux, there's vast swaths of low-quality driver code which has nowhere near the hardening of the network stack).
Not even care about what exactly?

Ad tech companies might have a hard time in Europe, but that’s kind of the point. “Regulation” is too broad of a term, what matters are the specifics. In some instances there will be companies/industries that benefit and on others, some with face challenges.
I can't recall seeing a single car that used a potentiometer for the volume control, and I've had cars from the early 90's all the way to today. They've all used encoders.

Do you have some examples of makes/models that used potentiometers for volume control?
I don't understand. You said that you thought you proved P=NP, but then it turned out you hadn't.

How does this help to support your belief that P=NP has been solved by someone else? Surely it wouldn't surprise you if it turns out they were as wrong as you were before?

PS: Also, reducing 2SAT to 3SAT doesn't help proving that P=NP. The opposite reduction would, if you were able to do the reduction in polynomial time. But maybe I misunderstood something about what you attempted.
Look, it's clear you don't like Meta. Frankly neither do I. But the reality is that the article at the URL that you linked in your original comments contains evidence that supports my point that PR is all that matters.

Namely: "KrebsOnSecurity later found that reporting the abusive Facebook groups to a quarter-million followers on Twitter was the fastest way to get them disabled."

Frankly it does seem that you don't appear to have read or understood the information presented in the link you posted.
You're asking a movie question in a forum that's probably very resistant or even actively hostile to visual storytelling[0]. Weight answers accordingly.

For my $.02, it's a great film. I loved it; we have a cheap IMAX in our city and I must have seen it there a dozen times, and then a few times at home later. Greig Fraser was a fine stand in for Deakins, which was a relief. I love the look of the Lynch film, expected to remember it better than the DenVil designs, but then the new movie surprised me by topping even Tony Masters' fantastic Lynchian fever dream.

As the film tells a story, however, it has some weaknesses[1] that it inherits from the text, and doesn't really completely dig itself out from those. Which is bad - that's an adaptation's only job - and it might explain the sort of empty feeling the movie leaves you with. The worst of this is the choice of ending point: probably the vision in the tent would have been the latest possible moment to do a solid ending, IMO. That single change would have made the movie 10-20% better, and is the lowest hanging fruit. It still baffles me, because Dennis is no idiot, and I wonder if the payoff is next movie.

Another is the character count from the books. I'm going to say some bad things now, so get ready: the characters of Gurney and Duncan should probably have been amalgamated into a Duncan Halleck. There's zillions of other places to do things like this, because Dune is littered with characters who don't appreciably advance the story and disappear after Book 1; Shadout Mapes and Chani could, I think, be realistically amalgamated, and it would be a kick in the pants when you learn the housekeeper is daughter of Liet. Yeah, the book fans are gonna be pissed, but they were going to be pissed no matter what you did, because unlike LotR the novel is a young adult / coming of age story and people get weird about those. I've had friends screaming about the "missing dinner scene" for a year now.

Something more abstract, too, is the lack of an object - metaphorical or physical - that the danger revolves around. Lynch's film dealt with this via several devices: the signet ring, the weirding modules. Dennis' film does not. Now, disclaimer. Dune as a giant metaphor rejects, in its own way, narrative as a generic concept, or at least the heroic narrative, so you have to bite your lip and wonder if this lack is intentional, and Dennis chose to push that absence forward as a metaphor. But metaphor tricks in storytelling only work if they leave the movie's skeleton to function; push them too hard (like, IMO, The Lobster did, critic tonguebaths notwithstanding) and a film can fall apart, like a sloppy abstraction.

[0] This is "Hacker News", after all, and if there's one thing that's core to the word "hacker" it's "text".

[1] "Weaknesses" from a movie perspective, where time is the most critical resource. Vs a book or video game, which can - and does! - stay engaging even when the main character is going to the bathroom, or climbing a mountain, or chopping garlic.
A lot of people won't ride bicycles in the city because they feel unsafe, so any data collected on existing bicycle traffic patterns misses this dynamic. If you create physically protected bike lanes separate from car and pedestrian traffic that interconnect the major activity zones of a city, you'll get more bicycle traffic on those routes.

Figuring out where the major activity zones are is something that this kind of data could help with, however.
From my experience touchscreens are only superior in terms of customization and sometimes size. In everything else they're inferior to a hardware interface.
Besides, Satoshi's coins are P2PK (Pay to Public Key), not P2PKH (Pay to Public Key Hash), so the point is moot.
My understanding is that's because of smartphones, which automatically and seamlessly use IPv6, and most carriers support IPv6.

Outside of the world of smartphones, though, adoption is awful.
Well, that is how it is in the whole of the EU: you can go and live anywhere you like without speaking the local language.

Sorry!
Anything longer than 2h needs an intermission so you can take a bathroom break and stretch. Live performances like musicals and opera understand this. Movies do not.

If you're at home, sure, you can pause it whenever. But even then it'd be nice to have a point where the movie explicitly pauses and says "hey things are about to get crazy, go pee".

> American families having their sons (at least the ones who wanted to becomes notable leaders themselves) serve in the military faded away. If you no longer have any skin in the game...

I think we can see this expressed in the decline of architecture and new, grand, important public works projects. Why build everlasting institutions and monuments to mankind's glory when you can buy a second yacht? Really disappointing.
You could try Box. It has really good enterprise controls as well.
Learn how to use the tools to stay relevant. Humans will be a part of this process for a long, long time. Maybe using AI will be fun!
That's how you lose me as a (future) customer. Let's hope for them that the other brands follow suit.

Nubank’s goal to keep the Datomic source code private remains secret is based primarily on IP law and internal security controls (on employees, contractors, and possibly obfuscating compilation). Disagree?
> Private industry isn't going to maintain huge "burst" capacity. It's simply completely uneconomical.

not in the US, many ammo providers have substantially expanded production in response to civilian demand, and only recently have prices come down

so if you limit your worldview to 9mm and .556, the US is far more capable of producing in volume than anywhere, perhaps well beyond the rest-of-the-world
P.S.
For me they made the same mistakes with Kingsmen.
Of course they need a substitute for the surprise factor that most first installments have, like Pirates of the Caribbean or Nobody with Bob Odenkirk
Yes these are unintentionally beautiful yet windfarms are a complete eyesore (sarcasm)
Since they don't mention any actual specifics on the class of protection afforded by the body armor, it definitely looks like a gimmick to me.
I don't think it's lazy ISPs, I think it's economics. I think it's that the cost/benefit ratio of making the change isn't clearly favorable to making the change.
Hi, I'm a graphics programmer. Sorry for our confusing and pretty awful terminology, it's mostly an accident of history. I don't think we're the only field to have that problem, though.

> why must it be so complicated to execute some simple instructions on a GPU

Because they're not simple instructions. Here's what your 2 + 2 compiles to on an AMD GPU: https://hlsl.godbolt.org/z/qfz1TjPGa

In order to fill a super wide machine, we need to give it enough work to fill. That means we need to schedule a large number of jobs, and we those jobs to have a hierarchy. The hierarchy for compute work is:

Dispatch -> Workgroup (aka Thread Group) -> Subgroup (aka Wave, Wavefront, Warp, SIMD Group) -> Thread (aka Wave Lane, Lane, SIMD Lane)

Much like any weird device like a DSP, there's a lot of power here, but you need to program the hardware a certain way, or you'll get screwed. If you want to be immersed in what this looks like at a high level, go read this post for some of the flavor of the problems we deal with: https://tangentvector.wordpress.com/2013/04/12/a-digression-...

GPU parallelism isn't magic, and a magic compiler can get us close, but not all the way.
I run a lot of my own things on my network. It is a nightmare, but I still do it. If I had more money, I would absolutely outsource this process.
Reading “How Google Works” which came out before the pandemic and it emphasizes the true reason for radical innovation in early days of Google was putting truly intelligent people together in a closed space. Is there an example of a fully remote company doing generationally transformative innovation in the past few years? And no, VPN and git companies don’t count IMO.

My take is for “regular” tech work remote is perfectly fine but if you’re trying to do something magical it’s not.
Why store if you aren't going to retrieve? If retrieval is important then making retrieval efficient and AI based is definitely useful.
When I was a kid I loved (who am I kidding, I still love them) the Incredible Cross-Sections books which have exploded-view drawings of tons of machines, real and fictional. The oil rig in particular sticks out in my mind because that’s how I learned they were movable and had their own engines. Seeing all the different parts and what they were for was fascinating.
So far any prediction of the bottom has not really come true. There must be some limit, but these engineers are pretty crafty. I bet they won’t beat one transistor per atom! Any other prediction, I’m suspicious about.
Ostensibly locations like school and other organized activities have some level of direct supervision. Private situations like being at another's home is more where this come into play. That's more likely to be where a kid has access and opportunities for things like alcohol, drugs, weapons, misuse of the internet etc.
How does AI tooling help with that? "The AI tool said I could grant this user access this way" is not something that would pass compliance.
>>Additionally, why in the world is this even public knowledge?

Why would it not be. Government Secrecy should be opposed by anyone that wants a free society

You can not have a "Government for the people by the people" if the government is allowed to keep secrets from the people. Nor can voters properly select and hold representatives accountable if those people do not know what the government is doing

We have a MASSIVE problem with government secrecy right now, too much of what the government does, especially in military and "intelligence" is deemed to be "secret" for "national security". We need to be clawing back the power to hid things, and making more and more activity transparent, not hiding more
I can get my passport number by pressing the Windows key, typing "passport" and pressing Enter. I don't know if I'd want AI to come into the mix, or even Dropbox for that matter.

There is no substitute for being organized.
I bet it's not to train an AI. That would be a disaster. Just use an AI for retrieval and chat based on your files.
I agree with "Apple Silicon transition". Everything else is obvious / organic growth.
That adults know better is a myth. They don't. It's not about knowing better, it's about being taught to be reasonable with the thing, and that takes long exposure to that thing, ideally with the support of a parent.
If we want long movies in the cinema, we desperately need to re-introduce the intermission.

Seriously, going to Avatar 2 was a nightmare I think for half the people who saw it because after 1 1/2 hours, your popcorn and drink are empty, your butt is starting to hurt and you need to pee from all that soda you just drank. This is just basic biology.

Not only that, but a 10-15 break in the film provides another opportunity for concession sales, a massive positive for the cinema, and certainly one that could compensate for any schedule readjustments they may have to do.

I simply can't see a negative to an intermission, for either the cinema's profits or for the customer's enjoyment of the experience.

The lack of intermission makes going to the cinema for films of this length a net negative, especially with how much it costs.

I think Avatar 2 may be the last film longer than 2 hours I actually bother to pay to see in the cinema.

I'd describe the experience, especially with the awful, strange and distracting as hell frame rate jumps Avatar decided it needed, as more uncomfortable than enjoyable.

I honestly wish I'd waited and just watched it from home on my 4K TV snuggled with a partner, lol.
There are still people out there (such as myself) and very tiny amount of game studios who still care about these small details and will often rewrite movement from scratch in their respective engines. To me, fluidity of player movement should be very high on the priority of "features".

You are quite right though about devs just leaving UE movement...which is a huge shame because it's a such an important detail in a game; how the game feels. I don't blame devs who don't do this though because it's incredibly complex to write your own especially around what's already there (10x so if you're doing multiplayer); I've also come across whole studios while contracting who don't understand that having a game that looks good but feels bad can impact their sales/reviews.
If you are going to announce something like this on HN, you really should tell us what Strava is as soon as we visit the website. I gave you 20 seconds, I didn't have a clue, and I left.
It would be interesting to see the count of 1984 references per year in HN comments here. Almost sure there's a steady YoY increase.

Unfortunately it's so prescient it's no longer helpful to reference it.
> I guess that's what we get when a rotary encoder is much much less expensive than a 4-6 gang potentiometer.

Also a rotary encoder doesn't age in the same way as a potentiometer. A potentiometer can wear out the area being used most heavily while simultaneously developing oxidation on the areas not being used. Eventually this leads to crackling, dead areas on the dial, and other misbehavior.

A rotary encoder on the other hand doesn't wear out in a practical sense. The only part that even could wear is the bearing or bushing supporting the rotating assembly, and if that's specced appropriately for the application it's effectively a lifetime component. It's possible to build a crappy rotary encoder that falls apart earlier than desired, and of course they can still be damaged by abuse, but a well built one should outlast the useful life of the device it's installed in by multiple orders of magnitude.
amazing to think about, thank you
Samsara is excellent. I watched in an indie cinema, and it really generated a mood without any form of judgement in what was being portrayed.
I wouldn't mind if 90% of the population had never been born (even myself)
That's a great question. And one that's really hard to answer with any certainty. I mean, who's to say how much more AI is going to advance in, say, 5 years? Or 10 years?

I'm not at a "freak out and do something nutty" stage with any of this yet (especially since my day-job involves progressively less and less hands-on coding over the last few years anyway). But I'm honestly not joking when I say the thought has occurred to me to attend the local community college and get a new degree in something that seems less likely to get automated away. That could range from something "blue collar" / manual like welding or CNC machining, to just a different "white collar" field like maybe "fire science" or "public safety administration."

I don't know for sure that I'm going to do any of that, but I've gone as far as visiting the webpage for said community college and poking around at what some of the available options are and giving at least superficial thought to planning out how I might approach something like this.
This is interesting. From what I understand Russia has launched multiple probes to the Martian moons and they all have failed. Amazingly, they still are planning at some point in the near future to launch the same Soviet-era designed probe again.
Smart RSS reader that, right now, ingests about 1000 articles a day and picks out 300 for me to skim. Since I helped write this paper

https://arxiv.org/abs/cs/0312018

I was always asking "Why is RSS failing? Why do failing RSS readers keep using the same failing interface that keeps failing?" and thought that text classification was ready in 2004 for content-based recommendation, then I wrote

a few years ago, after Twitter went south I felt like I had to do something, so I did. Even though my old logistic regression classifier works well, I have one based on MiniLM that outperforms it, and the same embedding makes short work of classification be it "cluster together articles about Ukraine, sports, deep learning, etc." over the last four months or "cluster together the four articles written about the same event in the last four days".

I am looking towards applying it to: images, sorting 5000+ search results on a topic, workflow systems (would this article be interesting to my wife, my son, hacker news?), and commercially interesting problems (is this person a good sales prospect?)

Shameless plug: I built myself a little web app to send email summaries of top stories on Reddit, HN, and the latest from RSS feeds: www.bulletyn.co

I still go on Reddit and HN throughout the day, but it's cut down a bit since I have these digests to review at designated times (for me it's 7am and 3pm). It's made a big difference to convert 'active' scrolling with 'passive' review of something in my inbox with a finite amount of links.
Same thing with Supernatural. Season one especially was a Classic Rock masterpiece, but when the show hit Netflix they had to replace all the music due to licensing. :-C
Drew Houston needs to step down. The company has been aimless for a decade. The 'collaborative workspace' was an obviously bad idea that they sunk years of company-wide resources on (ask me how I know!)
Yes, Dropbox's genius strategy is completely inscrutable by us mere mortals.

> It's also not much of a reach to imagine use cases here. AI trained on a company's corpus of internal documents is an extremely common idea right now. DBX is sitting on a trove of data that is specifically well-suited for building bespoke, company specific AI models.

Not sure if it's the best but I recently bought a "Airthings 2960 View Plus - Radon & Air Quality Monitor". Choosing the correct app and setup was a bit annoying, but not too bad. I think setup was about an hour once done. Also the phone app wanted to read results for a week or so before displaying some info. The device has a screen that will show you the current values.

I purchased the device because I was a bit worried about radon and other garbage that I might be breathing while working in my basement office. Radon and other data points were not a problem. Turns out C02 was more my problem. It's pretty surprising how quickly that number rises with a closed door. I believe I can attribute the tiredness with the C02 levels. Having history correlates with when I'm in the basement office, and opening a window, it's a walkout basement and I have windows, decreases C02 stat pretty quickly.

Overall I'm happy with my purchase, and I'm considering buying another one for the ground level of the house.

I don't know their financials to know if it's a good investment or not, but I have a feeling that they are over hyped. Vector DBs are becoming a commodity with many hosting options too. Again, I don't know what they have in plan for growth. Long term memory is too vague. We'll see how it goes.
Right but it was always very clear “you can have it in dev for free, but prod is $$$$$”. It was not something like “use it free in prod as much as you want, or pay us for support”
