I think this is just "colder" Europeans that can't understand that Americans are usually genuinely happy in those interactions. Like, they aren't being fake or lying to you when they are overly nice and positive. It's just how they actually feel.

I'm neither American nor European but I honestly always felt that Americans are much warmer and genuine than Europeans whenever I visit. But I guess it is harder to see when you are used to be in a colder "rude by default" environment.

Here's one view for the device - FaceTime++

If it's a gamechanger for remote working, then I'll buy them for my company and have my remote employees use them

If it's a gamechanger for communicating with family overseas, then I might see if I can convince one of my relatives to get one (though the price will be harder to justify for personal use - but not impossible if it's a gamechanger)

Both of those are contingent on how good it is. If it's something where I do a shared presence FaceTime call using it, and I feel like I can't go back to not having it, then I'll buy them and I expect it'll be a huge success. If I/people try it and it's not much of an improvement over regular FaceTime, then it won't be a big success.

Is this about old perpetual licences or subscription? Subscription is supposed to work like this, you keep on using it till you pay for it.
Installed the app last night. It would be interesting to see their DAU graph for the state!

Something worthwhile noting here is that the usual "politicians don't understand the technology" sentiment doesn't apply here because our governor at least knows how to code Perl, and ran a software company.
In this case I mostly agree, but more generally there are so many more wrong ways to do something difficult that you could have 100 failed replications and 2 reproductions and it would just mean 2 people did it right.
Which step are you counting as "manufacture"? They will have a lot of partners here in the supply chain of this component; ams-Osram, LG, and TSMC according to the article.

In terms of Apple being "hands on" in manufacturing I don't see this as too different from the Apple Silicon case, where they design but work with partners in Taiwan+China to manufacture.

I see the big news here as "moving away from Samsung", where they would likely have to continue to invest in a competitor (money and IP) in order to get microLED technology through them.

I want search to be a different tool. I want to switch to search so search does it's thing well. It finds real content and helps me evaluate what ChatGPT is saying. They compliment each other really well, but they feel like fundamentally different interaction modalities.

To the extent chat is integrated with search, I don't want to know that it's there. Like good CGI, it should just enhance the existing experience, not insert itself into the conversation.

Do you mean balanced? The last time the US budget was in surplus was 2001.

But debt can be fiscally sound, as anybody with a mortgage knows.
Hmm... thanks. Maybe it was a hiccup? Does it happen when you click these links in my comment? We haven't been able to replicate on Firefox mobile, but we do have an issue with 500 errors in Firefox when double clicking links in the sidebar of the docs (I know, I know...)
People aren't in their EV while sitting in a restaurant, talking to you at a party or standing in a checkout line. It's literally in their face while talking to you.

That said, usually people tend to seek out status symbols. People obviously wear Gucci sunglasses in their faces because they are Gucci and expensive. However, I also wonder if this case would be different because of the growing anti-tech resentment and the wearer now being associated with issues liked gentrification, disliked mega corps etc.

Passage by 1Password: Add passkey support to your app or website
Bonds are basically like high-denomination dollar bills with a small "coupon" interest payment stapled to them. The interest can be ignored and then we just treat them like money. As all big financial institutions do. They're the "risk free" place to store money. Which is why Circle (via Blackrock) are holding so many in the first place.

Now, what happens if the US defaults, even technically-defaults (missing just one payment) and all this "money" held by financial institutions is suddenly "not money"? Or "maybe not money"?

I would expect a majority of US banks to be in FDIC resolution the next day. As bank stocks fall off a cliff, they start taking the rest of the economy with them. Things would rapidly outstrip the existing ability of the system to absorb small crises. It would look like Cyprus in 2008.
The absolute cost isn't a perfect measure for what I'm considering though because it will need to be compared to median real income.

> Absolutely no since everything about Chinese is not based on pronunciation.

This conflates so much. Hanzi (mostly) isn't pronunciation-based[1], but Hanzi is simply one, and a secondary one at that, representation of the language. The primary representation of the language is the spoken representation, and unless Mandarin speakers spend their time in silence, it's very much pronunciation based.

[1] But it make plenty use of rebuses, where you have a character made up of two characters mashed together into a single character, one part indicating the kind of thing (such as a tree), and another giving a word it sounds like.

> Even the meaning of a word change by the pitch.

No, these are distinct words that have different tone contours. We wouldn't call "bat" and "pat" the same word in English, even though the only difference is that they different voicing, nor would we call "stoop" and "stop" the same word when they differ only in vowel length. The same goes for languages with contrasts in aspiration, ingressive vs egressive consonants, and so on. Tone is no different.

> Just open any Japanese dictionary then you will see that it is a completely broken language if without the expressive power of Kanji (or Chinese characters).

Japanese speakers must have awful trouble speaking with one another in that case.
Refers to a separate ban - just a gubernatorial directive - that bans TikTok from government devices:

> Last December, Gianforte banned TikTok on state government electronic devices. On Wednesday, he added that the ban would expand to include "all social media applications that collect and provide users' personal information or data to a foreign adversary, or a person or entity located within a country designated as a foreign adversary."

> I just looked at this site and you have to pay if you want access.

When did I say it was free ?

I was replying to the OP who was complaining about paying 150. I pointed out that most people go to EVS these days where they can get it for a fraction of the cost.

Frankly I'm sick and tired of the modern freetard mentality where people feel they are somehow entitled to the work of others free of charge.

Whilst yes I agree the source 150 cost is high, the fractional cost available via EVS is not. And if your job is dependent on formal standards compliance, then its merely a cost of doing business no different to an internet connection and should be accounted for accordingly.
Does anyone on HN actually use VR to workout? That seems to be the killer use case, but I don't know anyone that's getting fit because of VR workouts.
One underappreciated aspect of this is ban is that anyone who wants Tiktok will just go download it in Wyoming or Idaho etc, as it seems to be merely a ban on downloading the app, and not a ban on Tiktok traffic itself. So the ban will have near zero actual impact in practice (even if it somehow makes it into effect).

Furthermore, it's unclear if the web app of Tiktok will be affected, or if it's only a ban on the mobile app.

The NES wasn't—it was an 8-bit machine in a time where 16-bit processors were available. I don't really know if the SNES pushed the envelope at all, but you're right that the N64 did.

I do think this 8-year-old GPU really pretty out-of-date. Even if Nintendo did a lot of optimize for TOTK, it really has a low reslution and low fps(sometimes 540p and 20fps).
Of couse the gameplay and art direction is the best part of a game(compared to Sony games, they has a great performance, but it's totally not fun).
However, I saw some screen records in simulator, I think that is the best which game maker want people to play: 1080P and 60FPS.
Whatever, Nintendo Games is good. But we really need a better console.

Botnet operators are careful to not mess with my internet connection. If they want to use my router for other stuff while it’s not in use by me, who am I to complain.
If you happen to have existing coax cable runs in your house, you might look into MOCA. It's used by some modern cable tv boxes and similar devices to route ethernet packets over the existing coax cable.

It can be used on the same coax as is used for your cable modem, though if you can isolate the coax you want to use as an ethernet link, you might have better results.

I've used the competing standard DECA in the past, as it was significantly cheaper than MOCA about 5-8yrs ago ($25/unit vs $150/unit) but MOCA is now the much better option with it supporting GB speeds and pricing being down around ~$50/unit. I think the max speeds I saw over DECA was about 100Mbps, maybe 200Mbps on shorter runs.

As I understand it, nope. States can't negotiate treaties on the US' behalf. Commerce and sanctions would fall under that as I understand it.

States also can't regulate interstate trade, which I believe trying to penalize Apple and Google would constitute, since neither has a office in Montana.

This is a terrific and very advanced use of chain-of-thought prompting. Many folks get frustrated when the first LLM response they get isn't the be-all, end-all answer. I have started to think of prompting like teaching a class of children (or CS students).

We shouldn't expect the right answer the first time. We should lead the LLM down the path to correctness. And we don't need to go all the way there -- just enough to get back to our real work.

While this seems counterintuitive, it's actually very useful in practice!

>the only way new software can get onto this router is via a firmware update.

That has never been the case. Software from consumer routers is often still in the "a trivial buffer overflow lets a malformed packet insert a payload into ram and convince the PC to jump to it." phase of software security. They are very much still wormable systems, like Windows 2000 style. Ever have your router glitch out and stop working and you have to reboot it? That's probably an exploitable bug.
I think they are referring to the famous Robert pike quote (though I disagree that it implies a lack of talent from its users, it just means that the language was designed to be practical):

"The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers. They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They’re not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt."

It's usually used in a tongue in cheek manner to mock Go which is usually pretty funny but it's disingenuous to argue that it seriously implies that go programmers are not talented.

> original sin was introducing this debt ceiling concept in the first place

It was for efficiency:

"Between 1788 and 1917, Congress would authorize each bond issue by the United States Treasury by passing a legislative act that approved the issue and the amount.

In 1917, during World War I, Congress created the debt ceiling with the Second Liberty Bond Act of 1917, which allowed the Treasury to issue bonds and take on other debt without specific Congressional approval, as long as the total debt fell under the statutory debt ceiling" [1].

There is no original sin. We just need a law that permanently authorizes the Treasury to borrow as needed to pay for the things the Congress told it to spend on.

Everything you said is true. I kept my original comment short to emphasize the shortage as the main cause of price increases. A shortage occurs when supply is less than demand. It can happen even as both increase, as long as supply increases more slowly than demand.

I like to view housing as a game of musical chairs. If you have 100 chairs but 300 people competing for the chairs, 200 people will necessarily walk away disappointed. If people get dual incomes and longer mortgages (with lower monthly payments), that's like giving people faster legs. There are still 100 chairs and 200 people disappointed at the end of the day.
>Apple selling it at cost; considered taking a loss

That is the same PR tactics as AirPod. Gruber taking about AirPod was selling at a loss. Insane value coming from Apple.

Most people who comment on these sort of things have absolutely zero idea about supply chain or manufacturing, let alone BOMs.

But of course, people will fall for it. ( Thinking Apple selling it at cost or loss )

I am very much enjoying this game. It would rate my favorite game for the simple fact that I just feel zero desire or need to finish it. Not in a bad way!

I am just having fun in this world, I feel like I can get lost in it. The new mechanics with the abilities is just insane and I could easily just spend hours building things.

Sure the frame rate drops a bit, but the core gameplay is so good that I honestly don't care. It never gets bad enough that I can't play it or I feel like the drops are why I died.

It is just a beautiful game to look at.

I am getting really frustrated seeing the complaints that it's "the same game". No... no it's not. Not anymore than the countless COD games that come out every year. This feels like a sequel that takes place in the same world that has been drastically changed that actually deserves to be a sequel.
In this case yes, but don't forget that there are much worse things routers can be than a brick. They can be a man-in-the-middle, botnet node for ddos, etc.
