I can't particularly agree in this case. I don't think /r/legaladvice is better off having a thousand incorrect, off-topic responses to a question. It was locked when I saw it first and I didn't think that was weird- they usually do that once approximately correct advice has come in but people are still replying. The post being removed surprised me but then again, I don't know that there's really an actionable legal question here, so it was mostly just a lightning rod. And complaining about how people can't behave feels reasonable to me when people aren't following the rules. I got plenty of issues with reddit but I don't actualy agree with any of your complaints here.
The latest stuff is still compatible with 5 year old iPhones.

80% of iPhones run the latest OS precisely because they are dead serious about long term support for devices.
I could trick you into adding a hardware key, then install a tampered version of Windows with it.

(Also, the last time I looked, TPM keys could be grabbed with ~ $100 of hardware, but I think that's fixed by some newer standard.)

But, yeah, it's not a big tradeoff in practice. I think their point was that Apple had to expend effort to enable the use case, which isn't "hostile" toward the use case.
Humans have moral agency whereas animals have little or none. Animals must listen to their instincts, whereas humans get a choice.

That choice is more important to some people, less important to others.

This depends on which animals people consider to be moral subjects and therefore worthy of moral consideration, rights, and protections.

Some people (vegans) consider all animals as moral subjects. Some people (pescatarians) may consider most animals as moral subjects, but not certain ones like fish.

Most people consider some animals like dogs, cats, and horses, as moral subjects, and not others like cows, chickens, and pigs.

These definitions are unconsciously arrived at by sociocultural factors, but some people consciously arrive at them.

I was making no value judgement, as evidenced my my personal usage of DJI gear. I was simply pointing out that many US gov't agencies have policies that forbid gear from companies like DJI. It's frustrating that I cannot get contracts for those agencies unless I'm using gear off of the blue list.
My point wasn't that scraping reddit is not a violation of the ToS, it was that you're not able to legally enforce the terms of the ToS (that you have quoted in your reply) on people who haven't agreed/consented to them (which they do by logging in).
Exactly.

I wonder what drives companies to include so much fluff when explaining a re-brand -- any wording beyond "hey, we think our branding looks stale so we gave it a haircut and a shave" is ripe for mockery.

Is the size of the blog post in their mind better justifying the time and money spent doing the rebrand?

Reminds me of a similar problem where nonfiction books spend two-hundred pages "expanding" a concept that could've been a tight ten or twenty pages.
Automation and technology should be reducing the need for most people to work. Capitalism warps the role of technology: instead of technology freeing you up, it risks destroying your livelihood. Just look at the economic anxiety surrounding AI. AI should be embraced. It should not jeopardize anyone's livelihood.
Before even getting there, how about putting an end to all human slaughter? Call me old fashioned but I like humans. American government and presidency (by both parties) have been pro war and pro weapon sale for the last 5 or 6 decades by now.

I’m not getting into an argument with you, I’m just letting you know that gab is a nazi website.

There are free speech zones that don’t promote posts about killing Jewish people.

By continuing to promote Gab, you will find yourself drawn to spaces that won’t challenge your promotion of a literal social media site for nazis.
There's also the fact that it's filled with genocide-denying CCP-apologists, communists, etc. A bit of an ideological cesspool...
> Put a piece of paper over one of the batteries middle contacts.

Bad, very bad idea if you don't know what you are doing - depending on where the "smarts" in the BMS are, you may damage your battery or make your BMS think the pack is broken or prevent your BMS from recognizing a charge state mismatch (and in the worst case, a cell going undervoltage or reverse polarity) as you have a good chance that you cut off one of the cell balancer contacts. This trick only works with removable phone batteries.

> Mastodon is down over 1 million users since last December, and I bet that's related to how difficult it is to sign up and to find other users on the platform.

How is it difficult to sign up? I signed up to mastodon.gamedev.place because i learned about it from someone else and the process took me a few minutes. After that i was able to follow people pretty much the same way as in Twitter and some of them are from other instances.

IMO the main reason Mastodon doesn't have as many users is because in practice there isn't much of a reason to switch to Mastodon when Twitter does the work good enough.

Damn, I need to reread that book. I'm struggling with that now; I just retired at 40 and am looking for meaning in my life with that exact issue popping up.
whoops, replied to the wrong post. Watched it last night. I believe that guy truly believes. I believe the leaker is real. I believe the programs are real. I even believe they've observed phenomena/ recovered samples they can't explain. None of that is direct evidence of aliens. If the US government actually possesses meta-materials of non human origin, they will never be declassified as long as the potential to weaponize them exists. If they do not, it is still to their advantage for their adversaries to believe they might. As such no position of authority within the US government gives the meat of the claim -nonhuman origins- any greater legitimacy. It makes the claims the programs are real more legitimate. It makes the claims that they have recovered objects more legitimate. But my priors on the likely origin of those objects have not been shifted by any of evidence thusfar presented. At no point has he made any sort of claim as to WHY they believe they have evidence of non human technology, merely asserted that the evidence exists. If it exists and this guy has the clearance, then he should have leaked that. I know he said he's keeping it secret for security but then what was the point of leaking it in such a way as to be indistinguishable from a psyop? All the people like you already believe what he's claiming, and all the people like me won't be convinced by the level of evidence he's presenting. What has been accomplished?
Also why does the mobile site try so hard to get me on the app? Why do they care? They have my eyeballs either way but they seem to take umbrage when I use my phone's browser.
> Two years ago or so I bought a ThinkPad with an AMD Ryzen CPU

Things have changed a bit since then[1]. The new Phoenix chips are quite competitive with the M2 as far as performance and TDP goes. Your other complaints are with Lenovo, not AMD.

I doubt anyone will argue that Apple laptops don't have the best build quality. Apple has the advantage of full vertical integration, so it's very difficult for any other manufacturer to compete on things like battery life and power efficiency.

The Linux glitches you describe is the usual Linux jank. I don't disagree that even the most well-supported Linux laptop will have these. As a Linux user, you choose to deal with these issues because the alternative of relying on a corporation to decide how you're going to use your computer is not an option. I've also heard and experienced my share of issues with macOS and Windows. In the eternal words of a modern philosopher: every OS sucks[2].

I also have seen a young youtuber eat a living octopus. I was horrified.

The animal rights question has been lurking on my mind for many years, and I couldn't stand to ignore the problem any longer. I am currently reading Animal Liberation, by Peter Singer. There's a chapter on the various experiments that scientists have been doing on animals, and it's heart-wrenching (see, for instance, the documentary Unnecessary Fuss [1]).

Our treatment of animals is a moral problem that cannot be ignored.

That's not how Apple's implementation works.

It doesn't charge the battery over 80% at all, unless it detects that you have a normal waking time, in which case it charges fully right before you normally wake up.

Unfortunately, other companies copied the 80% charge bit without copying the part about figuring out if you have a normal waking time and giving you a full charge right before that.

For instance, Samsung's S23:

>Once you turn off the battery protection function, you'll be able to charge your battery up to 100%

Probably true that performance doesn't scale linearly (and I do remember the Max Tech analysis of M1), but I don't have the tflops number for the M2 ultra.

For the M1 the stated values are:

M1 Ultra [1]: 21 TFLOPs
M1 Max [2]: 10.6 TFLOPS

Actual performance obviously depends on the type of work-load etc. E.g. Geekbench Ultra is only 50% faster [3]:

M1 Ultra Geekbench 6: 150260
M1 Max Geekbench 6: 108198

The difference is in the scale of the slaughter and the actual slaughtering being dissociated from the eating for many of these animals, such that a disproportionate minority takes on the task of killing for a majority of meat consumption. This has recorded known harmful effects on the people doing the killing as well as the community in which the killing is done, in a way other large industrial processes do not.

As an aside: this is a gotcha question and doesn't fundamentally address the position that animal slaughter is cruel. It relies on an obviously false rhetoric that something performed by non-sapient creatures in an environment where the only way to survive for some creatures is largely through the personal killing of other creatures is morally equivalent to an environment where sapient creatures who have wide dietary availability make the choice to consume the flesh of another creature that has been usually killed for them.
> Psychedelics give all perceptions including mental concepts "long exposure" as well, causing them to overlap in ways which rarely happen sober.

For me, LSD seemed to reveal some brand new type of thought or concept that could be recognized by the sound or impression that it made. My speech center would spit out complete gibberish when fed these types of thoughts. Actual quotes I typed while on LSD:

"can have a haves and take a three sixteenth quarters"

"can have an um somethings or others .... mmm much of somethings or others.... can havings a taken umpteenth very good time ...."

Normal thoughts for me are based on words and images, but these ones were based on some sort of "proximity". I could somehow sense the strength of certain patterns, recognize them, and manipulate them, even if they had no actual meaning. It felt like I got to re-learn very basic fundamental concepts in the form of this brand new type of thought. Some of them just felt pleasant to think about even if I didn't know what they meant, so I'd commonly find them looping in the background. I still find this extremely fascinating and it's probably one of the biggest reasons why I hope to have more psychedelic trips in the future.

I learned plenty of patterns and have plenty of memories of them, but seemingly can't decode those memories when sober, probably because those mental patterns simply aren't visible to me right now. I can remember certain types of artifacts generated by them though, like the gibberish words, some sounds, etc., at least the ones I committed to memory.
From the specific perspective of the article, C++’s type system is uninteresting because it’s so trivially and fundamentally unsound. It’s easy to come up with a single line of C++ (eg. overflowing a signed int) that works as a counterexample. Languages whose type systems make stronger guarantees you have to make an effort to break.

A type system that allows undefined behavior is equivalent to a logic system that allows proving a falsehood, and ex falso quodlibet – from a falsehood you can prove anything.
This is a really sweeping statement. Some animals like jellyfish or corals do not have brains. Even if they are sometimes responsive to their environment, is that "perception"? Even if you think the answer is "yes", I hope you can see that it's not a trivial or obvious conclusion, and an unqualified statement about "all animals" may not be warranted.
Let’s see one, then.

I was an avid user of Digg. I remember having to force myself not to spend too much time on the site. I enjoyed the content. Always interesting stuff was posted. I also enjoyed the funny comments. I remember the epic downvotes. The Dumbledore comments. The Photoshop comments. The DVD key comments. Lots of fun.

My memory of what happened was this. There was some infighting about the comment threads and how they should be implemented. A new approach got implemented. The site started crawling any time you clicked on a comment. Everyone was saying that of course it wasn’t going to work and a particular person’s approach shouldn’t have been used. The site became unusable. After that it became a blur, because I must have stopped using the site. I believe the downfall of Digg occurred around these changes.

I would be curious of other people’s timeline.
I’m gonna avoid opining on the value of the patent system in general. But one way of reading this statement is that the patents were written to avoid leaking anything about what the technology was going to be used for.

It’s entirely possible that the patents created for the Vision Pro are good enough to recreate many of the individual components that have been patented, but don’t help you assemble the entire product. Which I would argue is entirely within the sprit of the patent system. Just because you want a patent an idea a receive a monopoly on it reproduction doesn’t mean you need give away the details of how your entire product works. Indeed you may probably wish to keep as much stuff a possible hidden a pure trade secrets, if you’re confident that they can’t be easily reverse engineered or replicated.

But none of that diminishes the value of the knowledge shared in a patent. Nor does it inherently mean that the patents are written in a way to be entirely useless, they’re just extremely specific and don’t include broader context that isn’t needed to reproduce the specific thing being patented.

For example you could patent “estimating human emotional intent from body worn bio-sensors”, without once mentioning its intended for use in a VR headset. Just because you intentionally avoid mentioning a VR headset doesn’t make the information in the patent useless.

Show HN: Pgtestdb, fast Postgres dbs for Golang tests
Hi HN, I'd like to get your feedback on pgtestdb, a new library for helping you write more useful database-backed tests.

Many applications rely heavily on their database — and why shouldn't they! But writing tests that use the database is always a bit awkward, or in the worst case, very slow. Sometimes teams even mock their database out for an in-memory one, which works but only as long as you're not relying on specific features of your database.

Postgres is a fantastic database, and at my last job we relied heavily on its views, functions, data types, etc. A lot of our application logic was tied up with it. But writing tests against it was slow. Naively, each test would have to:

- Create a new database

- Run our migrations on it

- Then run the test

- Then tear down the database

pgtestdb makes this all a lot faster with two major strategies:

- Use a ram-backed or tmpfs-backed server that drops all data consistency guarantees. This isn't an issue for tests at all, and makes them much faster.

- Use template databases to only ever have to run the migrations once, when they change, and then fork that template each time a test asks for a new database.

Check out the docs on the Github page for more information but I hope you find this useful. I've written adaptors for most common migration frameworks so hopefully you can try it out without much issue.

Sincerely,
Peter
Humans don’t have to do it. Just like widespread rape in the animal kingdom and in human history doesn’t give me moral justification to do it today.

Though even before getting that far, humans are participants in one of your scenarios and not the other. What other animal behaviors justify your human behaviors? Can any of them? Does another intelligence have moral justification in farming humans on the same basis?

There are some absurd reductios here that you’d have to sign off on.
Show HN: Go Faster – Employee Analytics for Google Workspace
The currently top-rated top-level HN comment goes into those details. This release significantly improves CPU power management, to the point where it should be similar to MacOS.

Some of this stuff is handled by binary blobs that get installed/upgraded by MacOS, and are running by the time Linux boots.

With the previous release, power per watt and absolute performance were already better than high-end x86 laptops, so if your question is "is this faster and more power efficient than my other Linux laptop?", the answer is probably yes.

If you're asking if it will beat MacOS's perf/watt in all scenarios, the answer will be no for a long time. However, it is probably already beating MacOS in many practical scenarios.
So what if other companies would similarly abuse their position? If it doesn't excuse Nvidia's behavior in some way then it hardly seems relevant to point out. We still need more competition in this space, or Nvidia parts will become increasingly bad deals (as we've seen for consumer GPUs).
Your points are entirely orthogonal to mine. There may well be cases where net government spending must be reduced -- but that is identical to increasing net government income.

Likely more regulation around handling and slaughter, like the article says.

Most farm animals are also considered sentient, but obviously still eaten throughout the country, but unlike with a lobster or octopus you currently can't just start hacking at a cow or pig with a knife while it is still alive to cut off a part to eat.

It's an improvement, but if you're a vegan you'd likely want to go much further.
