I really love my Hakko FR-830 hot air preheater for lead-free rework.

Took some effort with rollers to be able to pan/rotate the board while it's on the heater but does make lead-free feel like leaded for me (on dense but relatively small boards anyway.)

Interesting. Opposite for me. Playing BotW reignited the feeling of playing OOT and MM for me.
> Attempting to emulate this personally as a civilian has yielded mixed results.

Right. I'm not even trying, even though I highly suspect it would've helped me if it worked - because I know it won't, because my brain is able to tell when I'm trying to trick it, and will refuse to cooperate.

Actual military? That could work, because the order and structure would be beyond my control. Self-imposed? It's hard enough on drugs, impossible without. Asking someone else to impose some structure on me, as an adult? My brain knows it's even easier to cancel the deal, weasel off of the agreement - especially if it has literally no other purpose and meaning than trying to trick myself into functioning.

So yeah, I'd be up for becoming a paying customer of some First Seregant as a Service thing, but I can't imagine how you could structure it so it doesn't feel artificial and voluntary, making me unable to stick to it any more that I can to exercising (a highly beneficial activity that my brain recognizes as artificial and bullshit, and refuses to allow it).

And that's why I ignore the people that laugh at the whole prompt engineering thing, because it's a genuine skill.

At the moment GPTs are trained on so much data across so many domains that you have to treat it like a person who has similar knowledge.

If I just walk up to you and start sputtering jargon about a very specific complex topic, when you were just chatting to another friend about all sorts of everyday topics, you're not going to be able to reply to me immediately.

With these GPTs it helps to get it "in the mood" for your topic by preloading keywords and shifting the topic over and deeper so your desired topic is clearer to the attention mechanism.
seL4 with its VMM is a better hypervisor architecture than, say, Xen.

Xen is unfortunately large, and the full hypervisor runs privileged.

With seL4, VM exceptions are forwarded to VMM, which handles them.

From a security standpoint, a VM escape would only yield VMM privileges, which are no higher than that of the VM itself. This is much better than a compromise of Xen, which would compromise all VMs in the system.

Makatea[0] is an effort to build a Qubes-like system using seL4 and its virtualization support. It is currently funded by a NLNet grant.

It's funny how if you are a major corporation with fat government contracts you can systematically destroy your engineering department, ostracize whistleblowers, and wind up killing hundreds of people and nobody gets punished and the FAA will even be on your side, like the Boeing thing.

but if you make a youtube stunt that hurts nobody you can get 20 years in prison and the FAA acts like you besmirched the stellar reputation of the aviation industry.
Which is hilarious considering humans make shit up, lie and parrot falsehoods _constantly_. Even without intending to.
> high housing costs reflects drastic increases in income.

But it doesn't, housing prices have. roughly doubled in UK for example since 2008, and wages have fallen.c

If you measure housing cost is multiples of income, they have grown massively in the past 70 years. If the price of chicken went up as much as price of housing over the same period, a chicken would cost like $55 or smth
No one with even an inkling of what that feat would require is asking for that.

Many would be happy just to get 60fps across the board for their flagship titles like Zelda. That doesn’t require anything like “PS5-level performance”, and is an entirely reasonable ask given the current Switch is on 9 year-old silicon.

> 2 - In 1996, when the N64 was released into the market, ALL game consoles had hardware limitations of some sort. This includes Sega Saturn, Atari Jaguar, 3DO, and Playstation 1.

So, N64 wasn't an exception since it's a console with hardware limitation ?

Python is in many ways the anti-JavaScript when it comes to packaging. Where JavaScript will have a installable package that contains a single trivial function, Python packages will bundle hundreds of functions, all vaguely related to an area, with no easy way of just installing what you actually need.
>Ocarina of Time ran at 20 FPS on N64, not in SOME demanding scenes, everywhere.

And I used to find a lot of old games immersive - but I can't play them nowdays.

Things don't exist in a vacuum and my experience is impacted by what other experiences I've had to compare it to. There's a threshold in graphics/voice acting/etc. that just makes the games I spent weeks on as a kid not interesting at all (even for the sake of nostalgia).

I used to work on 800x600 CRT monitor with 256 colors and today I get a headache when I have to work on a low pixel density cheap LCD.
Switch has sold 120 million units, it has to date outsold the ps5 and then lapped it 3 more times. Oddly, BOTW has only sold 30 million copies.

Like, what did the other 90 million people buy a Switch for? There's nothing else on the console that's worth the trouble, at least up until a few hours ago.

The benefits of naming stacks like LAMP and MEAN/MERN was coupling technologies that intrinsically work well together, where swapping out one would meaningfully change the whole system. LAMP without PHP would be unrecognisable, MEAN without MongoDB would feel completely different to develop for.

There’s almost nothing about the Epic stack from what I can see that wouldn’t feel roughly the same if replaced. Swap Tailwind for a different CSS framework and… it’s basically the same. Use a different validation library and it’s still the same. There are pairings within the list that complement each other relatively well, but none that are make or break in the same way as LAMP/MEAN/etc.

These stacks were useful in understanding values in an acronym, but here that requires a full blog post to lay out principles making it less memorable and, I suspect, less impactful as a result.
Poll: What do you think about AI-generated filler images?
The prolific use of AI generated imagery that seem vaguely related to the topic of blog posts and articles on the web has been bothering me for a while, and I'm wondering if I'm the weird one here. More often than not, the pictures makes me do a quadruple take because they are just good enough to pass for a well-crafted illustration or photograph at first glance, but _something_ about them makes my brain go "wait no something's off here". Upon closer inspection they often make me uncomfortable, and IMO don't provide any value.

Thanks, this and the post to which you replied taught me something that I did not know. TIL...
>Why? Will it make the games more fun to play?

Yes. Movement in an action game feels inherently better at 60fps than at 30fps. Metroid Zero Mission (2004), and Metroid Dread (2021) both feel extremely crisp and precise compared to Metroid: Samus Returns (2017) which runs at 30fps.

The biggest complaint that Bloodborne gets, outside of not being available on PC, is that it's locked to 30 fps.

I can't think of a single reason where a game at 60fps would be more fun at 30fps.
Of course that's the reason, but the way it was delivered it's what makes it embarassing.

Well, yeah. But it opens when you open an image for the first time. It's right there in plain view. The first thing you see on the website are "discover" "download" and "learn" buttons. It's all these in plain view; it's not hidden away.
> My friends with a Quest are often delayed from joining VR play sessions due to some silly business requirement like an expired login or system update.

Finally in the v53 Quest firmware release notes BTW: "When you shutdown your headset, you will now have the option to update apps before the headset powers off. This will help minimize the number of app updates that you have to complete the next time you want to jump into a VR app or game."

(I think the Quest has some big firmware issues - I'm personally most annoyed about my Quest rebooting instead of shutting down if connected to my desktop when I've explicitly selected the option in the Quest menu to power down. Sounds like one of the ones annoying you may be getting partially resolved though).

I really didn't get the vibe that there's some kind of pandering going on with Zero Dawn (haven't played the sequel). I would also note that it's extremely common for video game characters to be Mary Sues, probably because they're often a stand-in for the player. In this regard, Aloy is not particularly different than a Gordon Freeman or a Link. Perhaps that's an indictment of how poor the writing in Zero Dawn is, but it's not unusual.
There is no gas stove ban. It’s a ban for gas hookups coming from the utilities.

You can still buy and use a gas stove. You just have to get a cylinder to drive it. You don’t get to freeload off expensive infrastructure that the city and other residents pay for.

I'd generalise this to other forums, or even society in general, to a large extent. Ultimately, we must accept that these systems are made up of people, and no matter how enlightened, humans will be humans :)

This is a really ridiculous position. All of the software that you pay for is provided with NO WARRANTY. Why do you think free software would be different?
Because many of the US's so called cutting edge SW has mostly been privacy invasive data harvesting empires designed to serve ads, like Google and Meta, or regulation dodging apps like Uber and AirBnB, or monopolies engaging in anti-competitive and anti-consumer behavior, like Amazon, Microsoft and Apple. With that logic TikTok is also some fancy innovation. None of the FAANGMAULs have their hands clean. Same with scummy companies like Cambridge-Analytica.

Honest SW innovations that don't aid in monetizing your eye-ball time to make you buys shit, or manipulating your emotions into making you feel insecure, or swaying your vote, don't make nearly as much money as what big-tech does.

Same as stopping food manufacturers from putting arsenic and lead in our food, or the auto industry from making only fuel inefficient air poisoning shitboxes, or big-tobacco who killed more people than the Nazis, the tech industry also needs regulations to protect the consumers, and honestly, it's long overdue and yet people on HN don't want this because they feel like this will stop them from becoming the next Zuckerberg.

Linear Temporal Logic looks very interesting to specify invariant of a system and monitor them at runtime. I guess this is called monitoring. So you can check if your system behaves as expected and e.g. issue an alert if it fails.

There is also Metric Temporal Logic, a special case of Temporal Logic. It allows statement like "There must be an account login (event) 5 minutes before an account deletion."
There is also the Signal Temporal Logic, a special case of Temporal Logic. It allows statement like "Whenever the temperatue is over 100 degrees it will be lower than 50 degrees within 10 minutes."

Unfortunately, it seems like it allows to formulate invariants that need an unbounded amount of memory if you monitor infinitely long or a huge amount of memory because the implementation essentially computes a window minimum/maximum function over a large window and has to save all the values in this window.

Do you know if there is a restricted subset of temporal logic that can be monitored fast and with a bounded or even small amount (e.g. O(f(lenght of formula)) of memory?
What's stopping anyone from publishing specs, CAD models and instructions on how to build a bridge so that anyone can attempt to build it themselves on their property? Of course you can put a disclaimer on it and tell everyone that they're using it at their own risk.

In the area where I live there are few privately owned parks that are open to the public and according to the owner, they can basically do what they want in one of those parks as long as they tell people that they're using everything at their own risk.
What's up with Canada?
The people writing these regulations don't know what the problems of the future are. The problems of the present are tricky because every problem has a constituency (if it didn't it wouldn't be a problem.).

The EU is trying to get around this by acting quickly before constituencies can develop. This will make no one happy - it's like my wife telling me that a car's going to hit me if I walk out the front door so she's locking me inside. All I'll know about is that I can't go for a walk. I might hear that the neighbor got hit by a car but I'll also hear that they get to go for walks so to the degree the strategy is successful it's also to the degree that it fails.
As someone who has lost three pairs of AirPods (including the newer pros) I’ve never understood why Apple allows another device to pair with headphones that are already paired to an iCloud account.

Once my girlfriend saw my AirPod maxs lying around and wanted to try them. She put them on her head, tapped “continue” or whatever it said under “not your AirPods” and was listening to music in 15 seconds. Obviously they weren’t stolen in this case but I was shocked at how easily someone could use AirPods they just found.

I feel like Apple could “just” give you the option to disable pairing and discourage people from stealing them, but I don’t know why they haven’t
