Technically, good and usable Wi-Fi on the trains makes sense - instead of having hundreds of phones all transmitting and interfering with each other, you have a handful of modems on either side of the train (with external antennas) providing the backhaul for the on-board Wi-Fi.

It should even be a win for the mobile providers too as it uses the spectrum more efficiently since less is wasted on interference.
I don't really know why in-app microtransactions, and especially in-app currencies, like this are even allowed in apps targeted at children. The worst example I saw was when my son was playing a mobile game based on a TV show for pre-schoolers. The developers had added an entire in-app currency, complete with prompts to buy packs of it when you game over, to a game explicitly targeted at children who can't even speak yet. I considered it a £60 lesson in better screening which games I install, but I'm still pretty pissed at the whole thing years later.
Extremely cool. I hand rolled some 3d objects using only CSS a few years ago [0]. One challenge I faced with the rotation was that text on the stop and bus signs would appear backwards from behind. To solve this I added an animation that flips the div 180 degrees. I tried to do the flip while the signs were occluded, but I didn't add anything to occlude the bus stop sign so you can see it flip as it rotates

This is actually a pretty tricky question. The standard black hole solutions are highly idealized in order to make them tractable. In particular, they have a lot more symmetry in time than you would expect a black hole to have. Actually forming a black hole from realistically distributed matter undergoing gravitational collapse is a more complicated problem to talk about in GR. So you pose a genuinely interesting question.

I think the singularity theorems address it however: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose%E2%80%93Hawking_singul...

The basic idea is that singularities are a very general feature of general relativity, not confined to specific solutions to the field equations but sort of inevitable for a large number of initial conditions. So while the standard black hole solutions are highly idealized, we have good theoretical reason to believe that singularities exist in non-trivial solutions to the Einstein Field Equations.
Does drug being approved by FDA prove its effectiveness? If you can demonstrate without reasonable doubt that it does, i.e. that it's virtually impossible for a drug to be both approved by the FDA and as effective as placebo, then that would make a good argument.

In any case, any argument is better than just a "Stop spreading FUD and misinformation, you antivaxxer"-style comment.

It'd be interesting to read the study limitations, but, at 35 participants, a larger and diverse cohort would be warranted to see how this translates in the real world.

Aktiia has done some studies for its product and works by taking a BP cuff measurement to calibrate its PPG sensor-based algorithm. If you can get rid of the cuff and can sell an affordable wearable device, that would be a promising future.
Socialists? Who?
I implement protocols to communicate with various hardware (RFID, LiDAR, etc). Most of these communicate over sockets. Some still use serial. I have a library I wrote of socket routines that I use, so it's not like I re-implement that every time, though. And for this, I'd really rather use my library than a 3rd party in case I have to dig in and see what's going on.
I want my own private live facial recognition in the form of a social secretary that reminds me the names of people that I have met before. That would be a killer app for AR for me.
You seem to be saying "if stolen iPhones are worthless, iPhones will be stolen and become e-waste", but if stolen iPhones are worthless, very few people will steal iPhones.

There are, of course less anti-consumer options than requiring active first-party involvement in any parts replacement. One would be keeping a registry of stolen phones and having the OS phone home after detecting a new part. Of course, that would cost Apple a bit of money (I think they can afford it) and only work with a locked-down OS (not to my taste, but I see no signs of Apple changing it), but it serves the legitimate goal of disincentivizing iPhone theft without raising the barrier to repair and creating extra e-waste.
Do you feel that managing helped you in some ways with your later IC work or was it a waste of time?
It is perfectly reasonable to use the word "discovered" for purely mathematical facts for which the demonstration is non-trivial.
Our neighborhood would periodically have 200 foot electric extension cables, running around yards and such to power the equipment. They would be in place for months before they eventually got new powerlines dug. Happened multiple times over the years, so it was quite common to see orange lions running all over the neighborhood.
> ...Republicans to finally smell the rot in their own house...

I'm not sure it even matters currently. I've got friends who vote Republican, knowing stuff about their party/candidate which makes the uncomfortable (or worse). They still keep voting Republican, mostly because "democrats will kill babies and take away my guns and social security!". They've had more than a decade of "worst motives" ascribed to the opposition.

---

Republicans: decades of "they'll take away our guns!"

Democrats: "that's not going to happen."

Decades later, doesn't happen.

---

Democrats: decades of "they're going to take away your access to abortion/contraception"

Republicans: "meh... nah... why are you so paranoid?"

Decades later... access to abortion heavily restricted, on track for total bans in many regions.
A prompt to do it yourself:

> GPT-4, make a generic 90-second UK political ad script about a G7 meeting in Japan. We don't have much footage, so slow it down and fill it with B-roll. Focus on nonspecific virtues, like freedom and peace. Include quotes from the main politician, and even though it's a video about G7, do a section on Zelensky and Ukrainian conflict.

It keeps writing much better scripts though.
I think that you are both right on different levels and possibly talking past each other.

Yes, on the level of franchise, it is good that everyone is involved.

Its bad, on the other hand, that the form of the debate in this concrete instance has been directed to trying to make decisions on specific medical procedures as electoral politics issues.

Belief in democratic franchise does not imply belief that all democratic decisions are equally correct, or that all possible framings of debate within a participatory system are equally correct.
As these things have become more technologically sophisticated over the decades, I've needed more frequent and longer visits with more failures than ever before. I'm not sure why that trend would be changing.
> This narrative does not jive with my memory.

In the years since, lots of people came out and said "they were always against the war" likely creating false memories. Here is one example, it's very common: https://www.factcheck.org/2019/09/bidens-record-on-iraq-war/

The war went on for decades, during that time both Democrats and Republicans had control of the presidency and congress at various points, nobody saw fit to even bring a vote to end the war. They would go years without mentioning it, and now that they want to start another they "were always against it" all of the sudden.
Why unable to communicate? Is there any reason why the relevant non-EU customer data cannot be stored within the EU as well?
This is the problem for me. I’ve been trying for years to find a way to go back to school, but I just don’t see how I can pay the ridiculous tuition + fees + rent + bills + every other necessity without working full time. And even then, I have a feeling I wouldn’t be able to complete a degree in the “usual” amount of time, which means if I did go back, I’d likely just end up old and competing with much fresher and probably much smarter people for a much lower salary. A friend straight up told me the other day the only reason they believed me and [another developer] could afford to live here is because we worked in software.

I was putting some savings together to try anyway, because the alternatives are status-quo or worse, but I’ve hemorrhaged a lot of those savings due to some emergencies + just being unemployed.
I recommend brother laser printers to everyone. They are like Toyotas: beasts that just keep running without issues for years. The cartridges last for a long time and also do dry up (a problem I had with inkjets due to infrequent printing).
I bought a Brother printer (inkjet) last year, or maybe the year before. When I need it it invariably works.

This is not a lot to ask, yet it's the only printer I've ever had that... behaves? It has one job and does it well.
But only if there are laws requiring refunds like this, and that it's concrete that Tesco actually did something wrong.

Having family as priority compared to work is more than fine, it makes you (potentially, not necessarily) a good human being, a good parent or husband. This world needs that 10'000x more than another code ninja optimizing some corporation by nanofraction of a percentile.

The opposite is extremely valid too (to not leave any room for misunderstanding - folks prioritizing work over their kids are shitbags, no exception, and every single one I've met in their later years deeply regret that... apart from outright sociopaths and similar careless crowd).

Focus on career if thats your calling and spent whole live in it if you want, but then please don't have kids. Every kid with missing/bad father figure I've ever met later in their lives was a mess in one of myriad ways, endlessly compensating for this and never actually coming over it, permanently. If you know what to look for, you can start seeing it around you quite easily. It breaks my heart a little every time I see it. These folks often repeat same mistakes of their parents too.
Isn't complying with the GDPR mandatory to give services in the EU? I don't think renaming your account makes you compliant with it.

Lets face it, an above average number of people commenting here work in covertly monetizing our personal data, as there seems to be quite a few of them rubbed the wrong way by the GDPR I can only conclude it's working rather well.
I think that's more-or-less in line with the cost of HP ink cartridges.

The real moral of this story is that people should stop buying HP printers, or at least HP inkjet printers.

Yeah, I've heard of very few of the top ones, and they look like the super complex kind of games I don't play. I did play Pandemic Legacy and didn't like it. Then I cmd+F'd for Diplomacy, Catan, and chess on the top list, didn't see them, and said nah.
The worst was "leading indicator". It was used initially to mean inputs to a machine learning model, but it organically spread to refer to almost any form of data at any point in the ML pipeline.
Honestly this is the best iOS HN app to date.

I see you get a lot of comments about the paywall, I suggest you try offering a 7-day trial instead of the nag. Or, better yet, limit it to X number of openings or something like that.
i think it was really cool that you had a working demo of the first lesson right on the main page! I did `dd` and `i hello world!` and already started to feel invested even though I am an emacs user and don't really have a desire to learn vim. I think it's because you get a quick dopamine hit from doing those lessons and also gives you a good idea of how the site might work.

I almost wish that first lesson could have just kept going for a while without having to signup or anything. Maybe after you hit like 10 or 20 lessons, or when it starts getting more involved you could then ask for them to sign up / pay.

Either way, nice work!
Not to mention pretty much anything these days can be reduced down to "flipping a bit." As a software developer I flip bits for my employer, and in exchange, they tell my bank to flip some bits in their DB.

The Republican Party is moving in a very dark direction, and has been for years now.

Decades.

It's really hard to put a starting date on it. I think of it as beginning in the 1990s. But that's a follow-in from the late 60s, when civil rights caused the re-orientation of the parties. And before that, the anti-communist movement which upset the post-Civil War alignment.

Regardless... I have memories of the 80s and early 90s when it felt competitive and rude but not utterly hopeless. Since then it has seemed to me that it has grown monotonically worse -- and I see no reason to think that the direction is going to change.
The Brilliant Solution
It may do so but there is still a very open question about whether the structure models represent biologically relevant information.

Throw away any tool you do not know how to use. Get off the internet. Get off the computer. Revert 30 years (or more) of progress because we clearly went wrong somewhere.
Precisely. Which is also why we need strong E2EE assurances. I heard the argument that physical phone lines have already been prone to interception so banning E2EE (or mandating backdoors) would be similar. The difference is that wiretapping requires a lot of work and is expensive and as such has to be done only for specific cases. Backdooring E2EE means cheap population-level surveillance.
This. I think HN leans very heavy on webdev and somehow forgets that the entire rest of the planet runs on software also.
Clearly EU judges disagree with you.
huh, ofc I only have experience with ring buffers from AMD gpus and USB xHCI controllers, and only heard that NVMe has ring buffers.

It seems USB xHCI is the "most concurrent friendly" and hardwarely friendly (IOMMU and non-IOMMU) as it supports "sparse ring buffers" (non continous in bus address space). AMD gpu ring buffers are atomic read/write pointers (command ring buffers and "interrupt"/completion ring buffers) with doorbells to notify pointer updates.

I should have a look at linux IO uring to see how far they did go and which model they did choose.

I wonder how modern hardware could use anything else than command ring buffers.
I was born in 89. I'm talking about GPUs specifically, not just video games.
On a different note, the lack of support for parents of children with Autism is just really really shit, and it seems like where the heart of the problem is here
For a recently published example of this see [1]: an automated platform, called Self-driving Autonomous Machines for Protein Landscape Exploration (SAMPLE), can design and build proteins using AI agents and robotics. In an initial proof-of-concept, it was used to make glycoside hydrolase (sugar-cutting) enzymes that can withstand higher-than-normal temperatures.

The SAMPLE system used four different autonomous agents, each of which designed slightly different proteins. These agents search the fitness landscape for a protein and then proceed to test and refine it over 20 cycles. The entire process took just under six months. It took one hour to assemble genes for each protein, one hour to run PCR, three hours to express the proteins in a cell-free system, and three hours to measure each protein’s heat tolerance. That’s nine hours per data point! The agents had access to a microplate reader and Tecan automation system, and some work was also done at the Strateos Cloud Lab.

SAMPLE made sugar-cutting enzymes that could tolerate temperatures 10°C higher than even the best natural sequence, called Bgl3. The AI agents weren’t “told” to enhance catalytic efficiency, but their designs also had catalytic efficiencies that matched or exceeded Bgl3.

Thanks! I didn't see the link, the thread links to GitHub, I think it doesn't hurt to have it on the README even if its just a small amount of code. I now see the language looks somewhat like Go, do you cover differences anywhere between Ki and other languages?

> Thought experiment: If signing up for a subscription required an agreement to mail (postage-paid) the cartridge back to them when the subscription lapses, would that be legitimate?

If it was to refill the cartridges and send them to another subscription customer, yes. If it was just to make sure they end up in the trash instead of getting used, then no, that should be illegal.
ah, it's not super interesting. Most EMR systems provide an open list of FHIR endpoints for their customers. `fasten-source-gen` is basically an ETL repository which imports the endpoint metadata provided by these EMR systems and enriches it with data from NPPES, Google Maps, user contributed data, Mechanical Turk and elsewhere.

- Cerner: https://github.com/cerner/ignite-endpoints

It will be open sourced (eventually) -- once I've cleaned up some test credentials that were inadvertently committed to the repo.

Hope that answers your question?
VSCode doesn’t even provide a framework for enabling that decision making. Sure, you could forgo the use of any plugins, but so much of VScode’s functionality is derived from plugins, you’d be better off just using notepad.

To be fair, vim and emacs aren’t any better.

Most of our dev tools are based on plug-in models that have zero security model baked in.
Americans may know them by "diapers" instead of "nappies".
Not sure if you included it above but a big lesson there is that even though it's very easy to prevent this kind of thing in software, when the incentives are going in the opposite direction, the software provider will likely do a shoddy job (e.g. the unvalidated URL param). The ole "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."
General programming circles: “garbage collection” means only the “tracing” kind

I understand how the subscription model works. My point is that I think it is a very reasonable expectation that once you have an ink cartridge, you should be able to use it until empty. This was evidently not made clear to the OP. I'm saying that this seems to be a failure on the part of HP to clearly communicate the restrictions in place with the subscription model.

I'm not suggesting they violated their agreement with the user, I'm saying that the terms of the agreement could have been more clearly communicated.
There's some capabilities-based security talk going on here, but the current state of the art in JavaScript makes absolutely no sense to me. It's nonsensical on its face. Right now, you grant caps through Deno to the whole executable script--so dependencies left and right that don't need caps get them.

So, what's the point? It's literally worthless. It does nothing to stop capabilities abuse.

The same thing could have happened here with Visual Studio Code. The language nor its popular runtimes are simply not designed for this behavior.

As far as I know Node.js still doesn't have capabilities functionality, which doesn't matter, because how broken Deno's is means they're practically on the same footing.
After what happened with openai I wouldn’t say no scenario
Unfortunately that's just a reality with inkjets, if not then the heads would clog and it becomes a paperweight.

Anyone who doesn't print often really should buy a laser jet. If you don't print often and you print photos, just order it from a photo printing service.
Neither. Took “MVP” to the limit. I just posted on my town’s Facebook group page with my mobile number and an explanation of the service. We’re delivering for local farmers and bakers.
I enjoy this too, but predicting who is going to like what exactly is still a mystery to me. Programs I built that I think are the most beautiful and useful thing around get ignored or just tolerated and some silly bash script or Word macro I wrote in five minutes as a one-off for someone has been passed around multiple times and is still in use 20 years later.

Where I get my fun is that I live to increase my understanding of something. This code should be doing "this", but it's doing "that" instead. Is there something I'm missing in my basic understanding of this particular topic? When I follow it through and get that "Ahh, I get it!" moment, it's like a drug for me. All is suddenly right with the world again. It's why I gravitate to lower level languages and languages that give me more control.

The rest is building scaffolding and applying standard recipes and carefully laying things out as I go. I still enjoy it, but I don't get the happiness that I get from getting one of those "aha!" moments. Or being told my stupid Word macro saved someone hours of work in some random meeting somewhere, I guess.
I picked up a copy of C&C red alert a year ago. Sadly, it's unplayable on modern PCs. At least it was for me. Too many issues, crashes and the game speed not being changeable before game launch and by the time you can change it in game, it's too late and you're basically already way too behind to catch up. It's a shame because it was one of my favorites from the era.
I agree, reading between the lines I don't see any innocent parties here.
