Notably rocking a MediaTek Kompanio 1300T. I feel like for a while Qualcomm was the obly company making chips we see in most tablets.

I really hope we see competition open up again; it'd be great for Samsung to get their feed under them, for some new parties to show, and it'll be exciting if AMD gets below their new Z1's 9W TDP & starts competing too.

This is a great tablet, bought one for mom & then a couple months latter for me. Alas mine got lost in the mail! Boo.
The 32-bit registers are accessible in real mode too, it only requires a prefix to each opcode (and the same is true when using the 16-bit registers in 32- or 64-bit mode). There is also no restriction on using the FS and GS registers in real mode, they work like any other segment register.

There really is surprisingly little difference between real and protected mode, it mainly affects how segment registers are loaded. Internally, each segment register has a base and limit field that is used the same regardless of mode.

Loading a segment register in real mode sets the base to the value shifted left by 4 bits, but leaves the limit unchanged. By briefly entering protected mode and loading descriptors with a limit of 4 GiB, it would remain that way after switching back to real mode, giving access to the full address space (this is called "flat real", "unreal", or "voodoo" mode).
curious what you imagine those targeted ads would look like? i agree its a scary thought, just having trouble imagining it
and? the changes are either worth it or they aren't. if they're not worth it then don't make them.
I disagree.

If there’s a financial incentive (better performance or whatever) then the server side will upgrade; it’s a financial and timing decision with strong motivators.

But the client side problem is 5-6 orders of magnitude larger than the server side problem - and to make things worse, they basically don’t care.

People seem happy enough to upgrade their browser, but upgrading their OS is a big deal. Even I don’t like doing it, and I consider it important.

So I think a reasonable rule of thumb would be, the server side will take care of itself. But if you need your clients to reboot their computer to upgrade the network stack to improve your server performance, well, it ain’t gonna happen.
Gotta love off-by-one errors
I've resolved that I just don't want to be advertised to. I will never stop blocking ads no matter what, even without the security benefits.
No, much much less. That o-scope is $349 and that's the most expensive item (well outside of the computer workstation), and everything is cheapish (which as pointed out elsewhere is only going to be used for a restricted set of hobbyist work).

It is somewhat telling that there is more money paid on the computer - this is more a computer enthusiast who dabbles in electronics setup (not that there is anything wrong with it) - but if you're doing serious circuit design work you're going to find this setup lacking in many ways.
Sponsorblock effectively does this- it fast-forwards the parts of the video marked by other users as advertisement.
I use script(1) daily for creating papertrails:

script -ec "command args" ~/$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S_$$_script.txt)

Works out of the box on almost every *nix system.

The recordings end up as textfiles with the control sequences in, you can use commands like cat -v, grep or less -R on them. If you also record a timing file, you can replay it 1:1 on you terminal.

Show HN: My passion project for the last 6 months
Hi, I've been working on my passion project for the last 6 months - a web-based trolley problem game with villains and celebrities and just fun dilemmas - https://trolleyproblem.io
Let me know what you think
Right... But given how quickly our understanding is evolving on how we can create fusion, did it make sense to take on a project this big and settle on a specific design type?
Ironic that Ubiquiti has suffered from bugs that let remote scripts deanonymize users on VPN. Maybe that was even the bug he was extorting them over? I haven't read the details but the timing might match.
Visas, different languages, and family mean that people often don't really have a choice. Likewise, most employers only provide insurance from a single provider.

Anytime I see a discussion/argument about platform X, Y or Z -- it's rare I see anyone mentioning they use more than one daily. I'm on OSX and Windows & Server Linux daily, I am between all platforms multiple times a day. There's certain muscle memory and keyboard shortcuts I've learned that exist exclusive on each platform (particularly fun when copying/pasting from VM's in one OS to another, and then depending on which host OS I'm doing it from.

There's certain aspects of both I wish were on both, and this really helps! I love Windows Alt-Tab, and also Windows screen snapping (truly wish OSX would just steal it). Thanks!
While you two have agreed on approximately nothing, this has been an informative discussion and I do thank you both.
Parboiling is often a critical step for certain mushroom species to remove toxins. But that's probably only relevant if you're foraging outside your local grocer.
It's coming from housing prices in London and SF. Also energy prices in the UK the last few years grew considerably. I agree it's a lot of money, but given how much it costs to buy a house or an apartment in London and SF I'd say it's not that much if you want to retire early. I used London and SF in these examples because it's hard to find jobs with that much compensation outside them. And this is all without considering kids. You'll probably want them to have a good education and not struggle all their life from student loan debt so you better save some of your income for them.
That’s correct, but each substance itself also has a similar, corresponding description or form. The "essence of womanhood" is often associated with the correct dosage of Salvia, for example, with people actually hearing the voice of a woman (or goddess as it is often described). Mushrooms are often associated with the form of the teacher, while LSD seems to have a highly technological or computing form associated with it. Some people will disagree, with McKenna associating mushrooms with aliens and science fiction, but that might have more to do with his heroic dosages.
Middleboxes that merely apply traffic shaping don't need to parse TLS headers, though. For optimising HTTPS flows, tcp/443 is good enough.

UDP often gets special treatment in that it gets dropped more often when the unlink becomes saturated. After all, UDP has no delivery guarantee so dropping the packets is less likely to cause retransmissions and other noise. DNS traffic may be excluded from this treatment, but I'd expect such shapers to also implement a transparent caching DNS proxy for performance improvements.

You say "first party telemetry" in a way that makes the reader think you believe "Microsoft just wants to make Windows better."

What happens if I eat the mushrooms after one day in the sun?
A practical (and solvable in practical cases!) EXPTIME-complete problem is type inference (or even typability) in the ML type system (that is Hindley–Milner extended with let-polymorphism) or in Trevor Jim’s much nicer System P₂ (equivalently rank-2 intersection types; a fortiori his System P; no, I’m not going to stop shilling System P, it’s too neat to not have a language built upon it at least once).

Interesting decidable problems with even more insane complexity include provability in Presburger arithmetic (the one where you’re forbidden from multiplying variables together, so avoid the undecidability of Peano) and over the reals (with addition and multiplication only).
Fair enough. From the link, I see that the states with the lowest HDIs are Red States while the highest HDIs are mostly all Blue States.
Ever since my PhD work (where I worked with some pretty obscure computing architectures), the phrase “Von Neumann Architecture” makes think immediately of D H Lehmer’s quote [1] on working with ENIAC:

> Can we use the high speed computer to do the sieve process? This was a highly parallel machine, before von Neumann spoiled it.

Optimizing Lisp lexical environments with hashes is going to be a fool's errand. The way you optimize lexical environments is by compiling them, so that there is no searching at all.

The value in the interpreter is that it provides an alternative implementation of the semantics. This becomes particularly valuable in some area that happens to be under-documented, and the compiler and interpreter are found to disagree.

It can be easier to get the semantics right in the interpreter. A simple implementation of environments (and whatnot) reduces the likelihood of bugs and leaves the code readable. Interpreted behavior of special forms can usually serve as the reference implementation for compilation.

If an interpreter is slow, that just means that the build steps for bootstrapping the compiler using the interpreter takes longer.
I expected the tick to mean "take action on review/appeal", and the cross to mean "reject review/appeal", so that threw me for a few of them.

A few of the cards were really frustrating: the correct solution to some of them would be writing a ten-word response, or making an edit, but I only had "take down" and "leave up" buttons. (‘It's just a game!’ I remind myself.) I do hope real content moderators aren't so bereft of tooling.

The story is… really boring, actually? There are a couple dozen little things going on in the background, but not many, and there's not enough gameplay time for them to be explored. I'd hoped for something more like Papers, Please. (Judging by the achievements, there are actually several possible stories; I can only seem to get the election one.)

The sentiment of the general public doesn't seem to behave realistically, either: not when I made obviously-unpopular decisions, and not when the CEO made obviously-unpopular decisions.
The problem with Firefox is the baggage of Mozilla. The problem with forking Firefox is that gaining meaningful traction is difficult.

Software is apolitical, but the forces that develop it and use it aren't. A lot of users are very militant about ideology rather than technology, but equally, Mozilla makes stupid decision after stupid decision.
Not really. It's too diffuse. The closest thing we have to a counterculture is the MAGA movement, and their leader is a billionaire. No mob is marching up to 3000 Sand Hill Road yelling "String them up!"

All I see in the link is empty PR claims - is there any information about how they're doing that? There are all kinds of known techniques that "expand" context window without really doing so, with different tradeoffs, and unless they provide actual information, any claims should be taken with a pile of salt, we shouldn't just assume that they actually have "true" 100k context windows.

People romanticize being a kid. I hated it. Adults were constantly giving you the illusion of choice.

You want A or B?

I want B.

Are you sure you don't want A?

Yup. Definitely B.

Here's A. I'm happy you made the right decision.

And that's how it was. They'd let you pretend and then the worst part was they would force you to be complicit after the fact. And let's be honest I would have totally been a responsible dirt bike owner. Maybe.
Yes, it often boils down to recognizing that "this person is telling me what I want to hear" because we're very vulnerable to that.

Work being 10 hours isn't that far off. In the US you work, generally, 9 to 9 1/2 or so a day. I'd call them approximately comparable. Sure, it's a little egregious but not that far beyond "normal" for me as an American.
This was an issue when I first started. With minimal sources a lot of time the top collections were low quality SEO articles.

After adding a sufficient amount of sources I've noticed a decent reduction in the echo chamber. Although by ranking importance by the most talked about topic, it is going to have some sort of echo chamber.

Adding left and right leaning publishers for instance has helped. Although one might say something is good and something is bad, the embeddings pick it up as the same topic.

In a way it also cuts through bias.
yes, but note those citations are sometimes hallucinations themselves.

more on topic though, people wont use bing if chatgpt/phind/etc answers well enough for them
Holy crap, I can only assume someone has done the Monty Python skit of the castle that kept falling into the swamp with Google devices. It was basically impossible for me not to hear that voice in the second paragraph here. :D
I highly suggest investing time learning psql, autocomplete works great and it has a ton of useful slash commands. \d for instance shows you the list of tables. Awesome tool
I learned from the start on lead-free RoHS solder (doing SMT work) and had zero issues with it. Honestly I've never tried leaded solder as I just use lead-free all the time, though I know people who swear by it.
As I said, I wonder whether victims acting on such abstract threats is common.
You can create a series of connections in postgres just as fast. The connection pooler you are referring to is when you put pgBounce or pgPool in between your pgdb and your client software to expand beyond the physical limits of connections and optimize clustered architectures. MySQL at scale is replication only. A few commercial offerings for MySQL like planetscale have brought MySQL into the 21st century. Postgres has a couple ways of clustering, sharding, scaling, beyond your Wordpress database.

Some of the smartest SV people fell for his con. Big names we all know. Anyone can be conned.
When they founded? Yes. The issue was that the big AI players (Google, Facebook, etc.) were keeping their models and training data secret. People (rightly, IMHO) saw this opaque development style as a risk. The OpenAI founders made a big splash by registering as a non-profit and declaring that they were going to do all their model training in public, and share the weights for everyone to use. In other words they were claiming to do something more like what Stability AI is today, except with a stronger legal non-profit organization.

Because of that framing, they poached a lot of very good talent and built one of the best AI teams that has ever been assembled. Then they perverted their corporate structure to be effective for-profit, and renegaded on open access to their trained models, turning into a bog standard service-oriented company.

> I mean, what need is it supposed to fulfil having a second mini-monitor latched onto your main monitor.

I'll be honest, I have been thinking about setting something pike this up.

I use macos for work and tiling window managers on Linux for personal stuff. It's probably a personal perception thing, but to me it seems that Mac is constantly running out of monitor space with its ui.

I switch tasks _a lot_ and the three monitors are just not enough, so I considered setting up a small sidecar monitor exclusively for a todo manager.

...but now that I typed it out I think it's going to be like a freeway problem - traffic isn't solved by getting more lanes; gotta have fewer cars.
Looks pretty good. Wiki page is impressive, especially the Controversies section. I wish they had a Switch version.
> But please, let's compare 2023 Postgres with 2023 MySQL, not 2023 Postgres with much older MySQL. It's only fair.

Heh Heh Heh

On a humorous note, the official MySQL page (in the early 2000's) comparing MySQL vs other databases had the same problem.

They'd list the latest and greatest MySQL version, but compare it against archaic versions of the others. Clearly on purpose, because "Marketing" probably.

Asked them (via official @postgresql.org email address) to please update that page to more a recent PostgreSQL, for fairness. And was completely ignored of course.

So it's kind of amusing to see a request for fairness in the opposite direction (which I agree with anyway) ~20 years later. ;)
The debt itself is effectively leverage invented by congress. It has no real merit beyond a poker chip that also happens to be the financial nuclear option.

The Paradox of Pointless Code: Moving Faster by Doing Nothing
Yes, all I suggested was that workers coordinate to demand conditions. Their reply was that individuals should talk to their bosses alone, or find a new boss. It's always mystified me why people will shoot down the idea of workers organizing, and meanwhile their managers, execs, investors, board and their industry connections routinely meet and coordinate over how to keep wages at a desired market position, in other words how to keep wages as suppressed as possible.

They're organized as hell over this, why should workers stay atomized? There's a reason employers don't want workers talking about wages with anyone except their boss.
They were still teaching that one decade ago, maybe never stopped.
I've been moderately successful learning puredata over the last couple of years (e.g. a real fairly successful professional electronic musician (arty side, not commrecial side) has picked up one of my patches to do something with, and we've got a dialog going where I help him out with some conceptual stuff around programming and open source, and he helps me out with practical aspects.

Meanwhile last time I was in NZ a few weeks ago I checked the classifieds - partly to see if there was a used deluge at a good price nearby, but unfortnuately I blew more than double that budget on an amazing soprano sax that happened to be nearby instead :/

Which is a long winded way of saying that I'm looking forward to seeing the deluge's code to see how they're running things inside the box.

Revisiting the Myth of the 12-Year Old McDonald's Burger That Just Won't Rot
This, unless you are physically protesting (in a way that’s legitimately disruptive and not symbolic), campaigning, or otherwise actually doing something beyond voting, how angry you are (or more generally how passionately you feel about an issue) doesn’t affect the outcome much if at all.

This was a key step towards improving my own mental health by unplugging from news. I do care about things like abortion and crime, and I vote accordingly, but the amount I am outraged does not affect the outcome. So consuming media that merely outrages me and tries to grab my attention, but not in a way that galvanizes me to actually do something about it beyond voting and word of mouth, just worsens my mental state to no benefit.
Ironic, when I consider iOS and MacOS to be malware too.
Maybe we are right on track, but wrong about what is the goal, at least for people, organizations and governments above some levels of influence.

People, wake up and smell the coffee.

A decade of interest-free money firehosing + demand explosion from COVID is over. The "normal" you cling to with double digit growth, insanely high salaries and benefits, and budgets of billions to work on stupid stuff that will never ship was never normal, it's an outlier.

The overspending needs to be corrected. Markets are stagnant and their auto-growth has stopped. Now that money is expensive and inflation yet still high, it means that whatever you work on needs to have a sky high return on investment, otherwise it's simply setting money on fire. Hence everyone reallocating to AI, the only growth market.

Hiking interest rates is a fancy word for planned economic destruction. It's very goal is to reduce demand. It comes with layoffs and cost cutting, as that is the thing that suppresses demand.

My point being, if you're still in a well paying job, take it on the chin. This isn't the time. Sit still when being shaven.
