Why is that “bizarre”? I have a $2600 a month mortgage and another $3K-$4K a year of fixed expenses on it. Am I suppose to let family stay there for free and just spend $40K+ a year on a place where I am not living?

I could sell it now and net $300K.
HTTP/1.1 is supported by all browsers, right? Using it doesn't give up any interop. At least until said ad company develops enough of a monopoly to move into the Extinguish phase.

I don't know anything about pipelining or multiplexing, but I too have the impression standards bodies are now dominated by large browser vendors. Older standards therefore seem less corporate.
Yeah, a lot of that is inertia. Most people don't upgrade video cards all that frequently which explains the popularity of the GTX 1650 (2019), GTX 1060 and 1070 (2016), etc. Those cards still work reasonably well for people who don't need bleeding edge performance or ray tracing. I'd expect their market share to improve over the next couple years as some of those cards age out of circulation.
Here’s the thing: I’m 35 and don’t even have one of those.

Having any degree at 12 is impressive. Hell even a high school degree would be impressive at that age.
Very interesting.

Re "KNYFE" language mentioned - there is already something (AI/ML related) called Knyfe on github. Maybe u/maebert can chime in?

It's walled garden enough in that any developer that try to present their app to be associated with OpenAI or as an official app get their app rejected.
One exciting thing about microLEDs is they can achieve much higher pixels per inch. Before Apple’s big Retina push, PPI was around 80-120. It went to around 200-300 with Retina. Researchers making microLEDs in the lab have gone as high as 6000 PPI, and something in the low thousands seems quite plausible for commercial technology. Apple could conceivably bring in “Double Retina” at 800 PPI, or they could go straight to “Double Double Retina” at 1600 PPI.

It’s often claimed the human eye can’t see above 300 PPI; this is even more misleading than the claim that the human eye can’t see above 30fps (we all know there’s a distinct visual difference between 30fps and 60fps, and most people are able to detect the difference between 60fps and 144fps as well). The PPI limit of the eye depends on how brightly lit the subject is and how far away one is viewing it; for a real upper limit you might use something like the maximums of https://lobsangstudio.com/ls_pixel.cfm which says at 6 inches viewing distance under 10,000 lux (bright sunny day), the eye could go as high as 1200PPI. The fact that microLEDs offer the potential to go beyond even the maximum of generous estimates in best conditions is very exciting, it’s like Formal Proof version of Retina rather than the current Good Enough.
DOS emulation is not a very battery-efficient way to play '88-98 games on the go, so projects like these seem to cater to that specific need, letting people run DOS natively. The Toshiba Libretto was a nice, small machine, but finding one in good condition is super hard. Toshiba Portégé was another, but after Pentium-II models, they took away the OPL3 card in favor of something more Windows-friendly (AC97), which doesn't have good DOS drivers. Now there's SBEMU (https://github.com/crazii/SBEMU), which can emulate SB/SBPRO/SB16 on top of newer PCI-based sound cards, including AC97 ones, solving that problem. Now it's possible to have sound on a Pentium-II, III, M and Atom machines running DOS, like a Sony Vaio P.
while very impressive i would never trade going through the college experience with people my age for any advanced degree or study. that’s worth a lot more to me that the diploma
I think HN is generally a community that celebrates learning and changing-our-minds rather than resist any suggestions in those directions.

You don't live in isolation as is, your car and roads and the rest of your context didn't come to be through others leaving you alone.
There will be quite a stir in the school after TikTok disappears, and if a few kids still have access, they will get attention and other kids will want to know how. Perhaps a silver lining is that we're helping the upcoming generation understand the importance of controlling their own devices.

This is so freaking terrifying.

I'm kind of convinced we're going to have to witness a pretty terrible disaster before we realize we've made mistakes and course correct. Hopefully the disaster isn't unrecoverable.
It would be a nightmare for iOS devs, now swamped by tons of device formats and missing capabilities depending on the model, like it is for Android.
Yes indeed, but there's no reason even in the U.S. that we need to stick with private car ownership. We could easily get by and accomplish everything we need, even with the current awful car-dependent situation by actually sharing cars more.

Uber is not the answer really as is, but some form of fewer cars used more often with much less parking needed — that would be an improvement.

If we can then get rid of half the parking lots and fill them in with a mix of medium-density mixed-use development and green space, that could set us up for enough walking/biking/transit contexts that we can take the next step away from car dependency.
That’s a whole lot of salt for something that actually exists and wasn’t a load of hot air. AirPod max headphones are brilliant devices. M1 chips have made laptops fast, quiet and cool while maintaining a very impressive speed (there’s nothing gimped about the MacBook). Iphones continue to be market leaders for a reason, they unite classical consumers You can not like it, but you can’t deny it.

Maybe part of the reason they did so well is that competition sucked. Windows is a blob of cruft on top of cruft, isolating Microsoft into its own developer bubble. Android OS has been a very mixed platter, known for relying on carriers and manufacturers to keep the phones up to date (which they provably suck at)
I check the sender. Looks spammy, hit spam. This also sends the mail to Trash.

Then check the subject. Looks spammy, hit trash. This likewise sends the mail to trash.

If it looks like a newsletter or subscription I don't want, I typically don't want updates more than once a month as there's RSS for feeds and email is not your push feed to my eyes, I scroll to the bottom and click unsubscribe. But check the link first. If the link's to a 3rd party domain i.e. not the same as the email comes from I hit spam as there's no way of knowing if it isn't phishing. If it doesn't link to an unsubscribe page but some 'manage my email preferences' page it's in violation of my personal compliance so I hit spam.

If the email doesn't have some form if text below the fold on my not that low resolution screen I'll delete it.

Having done this pruning, which for 100 mails only takes a couple of minutes if that, I go back and deal with what seemed more important on first pass.

That's my way. YMMV.
That's between those people and their finance companies. Tesla already got paid.

Unlike Microsoft, it’s not been reported anywhere that Apple has spyware built in. Props to Apple’s PR team if they’re so competent they can pull the wool over everyone’s eyes for years.
The 4060 (non-ti) has only 8GB of ram, which is less than its predecessor, the 3060, which had 12GB and came out in Feb 2021. I wonder if this is unprecedented?

For anyone not really following the current issues with video cards that have only 8GB of VRAM, there are a bunch of modern games that stutter a lot with only 8GB. I have an 8GB 3060 Ti and regret the purchase since it's been a problem for me in several games so far.

AMD is expected to announce new mid-range models soon, which might provide more options to choose from that have 16GB+.

I can't tell if you are talking about these particular devices or quantum computing in general. Lots of research, lots of money, but still very limited use cases. This is exactly the sort of device you might need to purchase with that research money though.
The original iPhone was cheaper than iPhones are today, but it was ridiculously expensive compared to every other phone on the market including smartphones. It was $800 after the carrier subsidy with a two-year contract. Most windows phones and blackberries and trios and comparable devices that had substantially more functionality at the time were between free and $200 with the carrier subsidy. The iPhone had a superior user experience, but very limited functionality and an extremely high price point. Obviously the functionality improved pretty quickly and the price point came down a bit, although it never really came down much, mostly everything else just got more expensive.

Not at all, maybe as a rounding error.
Yes, it's still very alpha
You've actually described what true TDD is, you test requirements which leaves you free to change your implementation without fear that you have broken anything. Also (as you have pointed out) makes writing a faster implementation much easier.

It's far more likely AI will be regulated such that AI generations are copyrightable if models are trained on IP owned by the user, as an extension of their existing copyright, and there will probably be similar new rules created around attribution for artist and actors' unions, etc. So IP owners will simply use dedicated in-house models or licensed models for a fee. AI isn't going to destroy copyright - no one is going to allow that to happen.

Joe Schmoe with his $8.00 SD account on Paperspace making waifu porn for Instagram won't have a legal leg to stand on, though, but then he never did.
You just said the same thing dressed up in cynical language.
One big problem is that some things are a flat year number and others are N years past the death of the author, and it feels like the priorities are reversed. Like in music the composition has the longer copyright than the recording, so fun derivative works like cover songs are more protected than just selling somebody else's album.

I can write code in C and consume it in C++ (through extern "C").
I can write code in C++ and consume it in C (through extern "C" again).

C and C++ each have their own language idioms, just like other programming languages have their own.

There are usecases where you want to reuse code written in one language from within another. The evolution of C++ took a pragmatic look at this and provided mechanisms for that. If you are not using C++ or don't have that use case, that is fine. But language choice depends on a lot of other factors other than just pedantry.

I think a more basic way of describing it is that he was one of the last scientists to hold onto the theory of needing an "aether" for EM waves to travel through.

The Michelson Morley experiment was in the 1880s and Tesla held on to the "luminiferous aether" theory until he died in the 1940's I believe. I seem to remember that he thought all other theories were "flawed" like you said.

People will say "Tesla was smart but not a good businessman, etc" and obviously he was a smart guy but still a tragic figure for holding onto old theories some of which bankrupted him.
Seems like a great distraction-free writing machine.
Singapore didn't "find ways to make it work". They built that city from the ground up into what it is now.

My city can't time-travel back 100 years and get a do-over. This point of yours is purely asinine.

>> Hell, there's only one or two buildings that are more than 5 stories tall.

>That's fine if there's no need for them.

So you're just incapable of comprehending simple things, or is it a refusal to understand them when doing so would be inconvenient for your argument?

This is a rough description of density. For any half-assed New Yorker scheme to be even marginally viable, I would have had to have described a far different density. Something like Some Sim City 2000 arcology.

> Sounds like banning cars from the centres of bigger cities won't really inconvenience you then.

So go for it. Literally none of the rest of us care. Build a gigantic wall around those big cities too. 500ft tall, topped with razor wire. Tell all the inhabitants that it's to keep us rednecks out.

We'll thank you for it.

> If traffic isn't a problem then there's no reason to give up cars.

Every third comment here is about how they want to get rid of cars far beyond whatever traffic problems it might cause you. I doubt the intention of your movement, such as it is, to only ban them in city centers. Just a year ago, we saw this movement pop up out of nowhere, and I have my doubts that it arose organically.

> What if I told you it was possible to have busses that don't stink of piss?

How do you propose that? Any anti-piss-stink policy would subvert your other social policies.

> Why do you think any change must be about making your life more difficult?

Because this is all so transparent.

> Your whole post seems to be about looking for every possible problem a

I wish I lived in a reality where purposely ignoring every possible problem was not only expected but celebrated.

> and not making the slightest effort to look for solutions to them.

I have zero interest in trying to solve the intractable problems your wishful thinking has dreamed up. I have even less interest than that in doing so for free. Offer me salary of $250,000/year with well-defined bonuses, and I can grind through at least a few of them.
I can’t say I’m a mobile app developer, but early during Covid19 (late Dec/2019 and early Jan/2020) and out of self learning process, I made a fully functioning android app that provided a real time tracking for Covid cases around the world, the first of its kind (1) with other stats, I submitted the app in Jan/2020 to the play store, and after almost a whole month of “pending”, I got banned, the app got “suspended” not just rejected -as if I did something illegal-, my account got flagged and they said another flag and they will suspend my google account too, keep in mind it was fully free with no ads of any sort, so no monetization of any sorts except donations. It turned out later google (and other big tech incl twitter) were trying to suppress anything about covid, until the narrative shifted March that year.

Moral of the story: as a developer, you are always under the mercy of these app stores, and they can change policies anytime, with zero regulations to govern them. Other open source stores are good as long as you are opening your source code, if you won’t for whatever reason, good luck distributing apk/updating your users, and I’m not even looking at apple yet.

Just curious how many units did he complete to have 5 of these degrees? I'd like to know the breakdown of classes he took etc to achieve this. Quite impressive for a 12 year old.

I certainly was in the camp that late in highschool I took some classes at the local junior college and I really wish I had just taken more classes there that could have carried over to my 4 year college.
I am sure it helped when looking for a job, no? You sometimes see this a lot where someone says their colleges degree was useless, but it was still helpful for getting that much needed foot in the door.
Ask HN: Stepfather had $500k+ crypto stolen; PI found thief; but FBI won't help
Background context:
My stepfather has been investing in crypto for about 4-5 years. At the time, he primarily used Coinbase.

Around the start of 2021, he had an issue where he had got locked out of his account. He was trying to get back in and was getting no response from support.

Naively, he tried to Google "coinbase support phone number". Unsurprisingly, scammers had flooded the results with fake sites with phone numbers posing as Coinbase. Sadly, he fell for one of the fake numbers and was phished out of his credentials and all of his bitcoin was stolen. The value of it was around $500,000 to $750,000 at the time it was stolen.

I was not as involved in my stepfather's crypto up to this point (though I wish I had been), but once he confided in me what happened, I have been trying to help him on attempting to recover these assets.

I helped my stepfather audit a reputable private investigator firm that specializes in crypto theft recovery. Throughout the past year and a half, they have been tracing the paper trail of the thief.

The firm was eventually able to trace the stolen crypto to a wallet on Binance. In order to proceed on recovery, the firm requires my stepfather to obtain a subpoena from a law enforcement agency in order to move forward.

My father is located in rural Indiana. County and state refuse to touch crypto because they don't understand it. The only remaining options are the FBI and Secret Service.

The PI provides full written instructions for my stepfather and for the law enforcement agency to follow (who to contact, what to say, etc). The PI will continue to work on reclaiming the stolen assets following. However, they cannot until a law enforcement agency signs off.

My stepfather has been trying for over 6 months to reach out to the Secret Service and FBI, but nobody will listen. Understandably, it's excruciatingly frustrating for him because it's been tracked back to an individual wallet; but the information about it cannot be obtained because law enforcement won't cooperate.

Is there anything I can do for my stepfather to get the FBI or SS to cooperate on signing off on a subpeona?
FWIW I successfully performed a phone activation on Jan 1 (2023)
It does require software taking advantage, but this was a chicken-egg problem caused by Intel's stagnation. When most CPUs had only 4 cores, developers had an easy excuse: two of the cores were "fake" HT cores so they didn't count, they'd use one core, and the other core was for the OS or other apps, so there's basically no point complicating software for so little gain.

Only recently AMD has opened the floodgates and we got consumer systems with 16 cores, where finally it's really hard to find an excuse to leave 15 cores idle, and there's so much raw power that even suboptimal scaling can give a big performance boost.

Also Rust became a thing, and it makes much easier to write reliable multi-core software, so I'm optimistic about software catching up.
I don't know all the details but I'm pretty sure they consolidated a bunch of offices to Apple HQ when it first opened - for this person it was definitely not a 5 to 10 minute change.

A "real hardware" approach to retrocomputing like displayed here appeals to me because it much better captures parts of the experience lost to emulation. Things like insanely low latency thanks to there not being a fractal spiral of hardware and software abstractions sitting between everything. It's much more simple, and you can feel that.

That said I'd also like to see some modern advancements brought in… for example a reproduction of a mid-90s 68k or PPC Mac using components manufactured on a much smaller node would be incredible. It wouldn't even have to be anything cutting edge like 3/5nm — even the now-ancient 14nm or 30nm would be amazing compared to say the 350nm node that the PowerPC 603ev was manufactured on.
Writing machines, calculators, card organizers, whatever counter, etc. All of them loud.
