> The 'Anglosaxon' term is a long-standing political science, history and diplomacy term. Its not something that can be ignored, especially because...

Well, being perhaps overly pedantic, but it should be written Anglo-Saxon, and there's a reason that it's hyphenated.

> The common law derives from the medieval !Anglosaxon! feudal law [...]

I have literally heard no one refer to it as "Anglo-Saxon" law before--it's "common law" or sometimes a formulation like "in the Anglosphere" or "English-derived law." Calling it Anglo-Saxon, in fact, would be wrong, because it's not Anglo-Saxon--it's Norman. (And, we're getting incredibly pedantic here, Anglo-Saxon rule was never feudal.) Even Wikipedia's page listing other terms for common law never suggests Anglo-Saxon, the closest being Anglo-American.

> The ENTIRE rest of the world uses the civil law system that descended from the Napoleonic law,

LOLNOPE. Actually, I think a majority of the world population might not even be on the civil law system (whether derived from Napoleonic code or not). There's a lot of Islamic law and customary law going on in several countries, especially several populous ones. Not to mention that many civil law countries never incorporated the Napoleonic code or any of its descendants.

> The persecution or the defendant can negotiate any outcome. This trait of the common law system causes all the parties to open the 'bargain' from the maximum bets that they can imagine, assuming that it will be 'negotiated down' eventually. Which obligates the need for lying and denying that was mentioned earlier - if you deny any kind of wrongdoing even when caught red handed, you have a better chance of negotiating something better than if you were honest.

Uh... I mean, by this point, it's pretty clear to me that you have at best a superficial understanding of how common law legal systems work, because this is confusing as heck, and it's muddled to the point that I'm not sure what you're trying to argue.

I think you're starting by talking about plea bargains, which is a concept that only exists for criminal prosecutions, and a quick perusal of Wikipedia suggests that some civil law countries do have facilities that are similar to plea bargains. But we're not talking about criminal prosecutions here, we're talking about civil disputes, and both civil and common law jurisdictions allow parties to settle out of court to resolve a dispute.
I don't think any of those have used a silicon interposer. For examples of that, you have to look at the kind of devices using HBM RAM.
Mods use tools to moderate. Ok. You want to have a little hobby of moderating a community. Fair enough, pay for your hobby. If not. Let Reddit fix the spam problem when it becomes a problem, because it will become a problem and Reddit will be forced to fix it because the users will hate it and it'll harm growth. If not, pay for the software to do your little hobby.

Actually, I think this is one point where Reddit could score some good will points by letting moderators use the API for free to access the communities they moderate.

I use github.io with Jekyll.

IMO, it's perfect:

- it's the default GitHub blogging platform and well documented, the static generation is handled by GitHub.

- I can run a local generator on my laptop and see how the content will look like before pushing content to the site.

- free

- no hassle with domain names. The thing is automatically linked to your github.com account.

- git revision control out of the box. I have 80+ branches with blog posts in various state of completion.

- markdown to write the content

- people can clone my blog if they want to, for their own use, or to fix things and submit PRs. (It has happened a few times.)

- longevity: I think github.com to exist longer than most other blogging platforms, and that it might very well outlast me.

- Instead of https://tomverbeure.github.io, I could change the URL to my own domain, one doesn't have a github.io suffix, but why would I?
I feel quite strongly that workers are still weakly affiliated with democrats because there is literally no other politically credible force in american politics that even pretends to care about workers.
Not necessarily, but this is one way to classify it if you did not get the message

Usually only after a very large public spat about how they are not being responsible for the problem. They have in the past denied problems that were widespread (board warp, keyboard, etc.) until either lawsuits or extreme push-back from the community - usually when they release a new product with those mistakes removed and it's impossible to deny them any more.

Painting Apple out to be a company that "does the right thing" without being forced to do so isn't accurate.

Why would they? Have Coinbase done anything similar to what Binance is being sued by the SEC for? You could check the court filing and let us know.

And don't stop there. If you've found wrongdoing at Coinbase the SEC would be interested in, feel free to submit a tip to the SEC (https://www.sec.gov/whistleblower/submit-a-tip). Many people have made millions off these tips. This could be your time to shine.
This is at least the 3rd blackout being planned en masse, and while I hate being pessimistic: I don't think much will be done here if history serves. Most people will stay and be unaware, some (maybe many) contributors will leave, we will probably get one or two winds on some alternatives that then get overrun by unsavory folk that makes it unwelcoming to anyone who cares about their personal reputation, and the dust settles with not much change overall.

But yea, that's why I never did any real "passion work" up to this point, even if I've been interested. If I'm going out of my way for that, it has to at the bare minimum be portfolio work for a job, or to garner community reputation to leverage for a future project that is paid.

It's a cynical way to look at what should just be done for the sake of others. Some would call it "clout chasing" and they aren't entirely wrong (not entirely right either, but there's similarities). But you always gotta look out for yourself first. From my decades here, the Internet sure won't. Quite the contrary; it's extraordinary how quickly communities can turn on something if you brush it the wrong way.
If we're talking US real estate here, it's largely because of zoning making it de facto illegal to build anything except suburban single family homes or a downtown high rise, and because our public transit was dismantled long ago in favor of colossal (now decaying) highway and stroad systems, which we now have to build around.

That's not what tearjerker means. They should have gone with "eye-watering".
I wonder if there is variation in hardware. I have a newer Quest 2. I actually do feel sick with movement in VR but I find the 3D passthru to be basically dead-on so it's fine.

> probably because there's no good way to offer a service with a mobile app without having to design and engineer for the least-common-denominator.

Isn't the "good way", just to not treat "mobile" as a monolith, and instead have a separate team, with separate competencies, develop a separate app for each platform, such that each app can take advantage of all the strengths of each platform?

Back in the early console-game times, if you had made an arcade game, you'd have one company, who knew Nintendo programming really well, do your Nintendo port; and another company, who knew DOS PC programming really well, do your DOS PC port; and so forth.

Why did we stop doing that? Companies had enough money to do it back then. And the same companies are 100x richer now. They can totally afford a development team per platform, targeting that platform natively.
So this wasn't what I was expecting.

I use to watch Al Jazeera America all the time but it only lasted a few years on TV here.

It was totally non-partisan from what I remember. Focused so much on the world outside America too.

I would imagine that is exactly why it closed.
that performance is due to extremely aggressive use of swap on the SSD, which is non-replaceable. I often use 4-7GB of swap, and wrote a TB in one day once when testing it. This "speed" is like goku's set himself on fire ability: it is killing him, but it makes him a bit more powerful. Ie, it's going to kill those macbooks long term

They're rated for what, 150TBW in their lifetime? Suppose it lasts double that, then a macbook would last somebody like me 1-3 years before the ssd died and the entire machine became scrap
> able to recover the clock of the source in order to know when to drop or duplicate video frames

So this is why I can never watch a whole movie and not have a single dropped frame!

Back in the old TV days, the TV camera set the 60 fps frequency, and if it was slightly slow at just 59.9 fps, then your TV would also run slightly slow. The whole system was synced perfectly.

Whereas now every device seems to think it can set it's own version of "60 Hz". Your GPU's 60Hz is inevitably a bit different from your displays idea of "60Hz", which in turn is a bit different from your web browsers idea of "60Hz", which is again a bit different from the livestream you're watchings version of "60 Hz". At every stage, when one clock is slightly faster, frames are dropped, and at other stages duplicate frames are inserted. End result: You can't watch a film without random occasional jitters.

Please, everyone in the AV industry: Design your shit better. We should take away your quartz crystals and force you to have only inaccurate timing devices just so you are forced to properly sync everything!
There exist quite many programmers who concentrate much more on a single technology stack which they spent a lot more time learning.

The given examples where AI might be useful are much more helpful if you have a rather shallow knowledge of the technology that you use (for example if you switch the technology stack very often).
Galaxy brain shit. The problem is that young people don't vote. Allowing old people to designate a proxy is unlikely to move the needle. This is particularly true in the US because voting is actually pretty hard if you are working class, since you cannot skip work to do it. But whether it is that or just apathy or ignorance, just allowing marginalized voters to pick a younger person to vote for them would probably not work and wouldn't accurately reflect their preferences anyway (since older people still tend to be more conservative all around).
Phones, Tablets and smart watches existed and had big market penetration before those products were introduced. The same is true of earbuds, wireless and otherwise. This is a space with incredibly low penetration, it will be much harder to get traction.

Modulo the whole isolation paranoia thing, sure. I preordered an original Vive way back in 2016 or whatever so I think it's fair to say I know how hot, sweaty, and unpleasant some VR headsets can get.

However (again, modulo the isolation paranoia thing which I think is just completely silly) I am not a person who thinks it's impossible to make a VR/AR headset that doesn't suck to use. What can Apple do for several times the price of any extant consumer headset? I'm interested to find out!

It depends on the context and goal. Yours is great for a HN comment. The "more intelligently" version is great for playing up your vocabulary, and does a sort of emulation of what you might see in a scientific paper.

For what it's worth, asking ChatGPT to "make it clearer" results in the following, which is basically what you said which slight fixes to make it a bit more formal with minimal changes, most of which I think do result in being a bit more clear:

I often come across this comment, but I reached a different conclusion. Individuals with advanced reading and writing skills tend to place less importance on GPT's writing ability, while those with lower reading and writing skills tend to assign greater value to GPT's abilities.

I am glad Hacker News is still against massively centralized things of SOME kind. I remember when the cypherpunks here were in favor of blockchain and crypto. The latest zeitgeist of being against decentralized stuff (witness the hate of plebbit) is leading the “hackers” here to learned helplessness and support online feudalism (big tech monopolies). And I was worried people started to embrace patents too.

Y’all will love decentralization next summer again.
I remember when I got my first Windows Mobile device and I was showing civilians and the most common response was "why do you want to get email on your phone?"

When the iPhone came out, I heard the same thing - people couldn't figure out why they'd want the Internet with them in their pocket.

I also am not sure if there's a great use case for Vision Pro today - it looks like fun, at least, price tag aside! - but Apple have repeatedly demonstrated both long-term commitment to their products along with a grand vision. I look forward to seeing how it evolves.
I can see how that would be a popular application. I imagine a software engineer that was forcefully returned back to the office would love the ability to have unlimited computer screens hidden from the prying eyes of busybodies around the office.
It basically scrapes reddit.com's HTML. Doesn't use the official API at all (that would defeat the purpose).

> this isn't "critical race theory." Like how is making observations about the demographics associated with old age and voting "critical race theory?

You're correct, it's not. But there's a trend of shoehorning race into everything, and I think that's what the comment to which you're responding refers. The underlying study never mentioned race. By proxying SES with race, the article recapitulates the racial determinism that is, if not at the core, then a necessary consequence of CRT.

This doesn't increase pixel density at the point it is rendering, since that id a limit of physical pixels. Instead it decreases the rendering resolution of peripheral vision, but even that still has the same physical pixel density.

I am pretty certain 4k per eye still isn't enough for monitor like text rendering but it is pretty good.

I thought that too, but the existence of highly affordable SDI-to-Thunderbolt adapters means the Mac Studio should still suffice unless you need a very large number of inputs... and I don't know how many multi-SDI PCIe cards there are.

How, in a way that preserves all the mentioned properties of MPEG-TS?

There's RTP, but I would definitely not call translating MPEG-TS to RTP and back "dead simple" (unless you're just encapsulating MPEG-TS via RFC 2250, but then you're still using MPEG-TS).
I don't understand the distinction. Why is it okay to claim that a machine can learn, but not that the result is an artificial form of intelligence?

Most AI systems we're interacting with today don't do any learning. They've been trained, and now they are being used to generate content or classify things, but they aren't doing 'machine learning' any more.

They are being used to do tasks that require intelligence. But they are accomplishing them via artifice.

Like a sort of artificial form of intelligence.
i disagree with a lot of this. there's enough incorrect and duplicate rubbish on the internet without encouraging more of it.

But the pixels are visible, and text on those displays is so much less legible than on a 200+ ppi display. I simply don’t get how some developers find those monitors to be acceptable and at the same time disregard the Apple headset. Perhaps it’s just lack of vision.
You basically answered it: it's going to non-teaching administrative staff, facilities/construction, and other random expenses.

Some of the administrative bloat is for regulatory compliance, but most of it seems to be driven by the expansionist tendencies of bureaucratic organizations.

Oddly enough there actually seems to be less administrative/secretarial support for faculty, while student mental health remains a problem that doesn't seem to be addressed adequately.
Do you mean multitouch?

3D touch went away with the iPhone 11, and I'm still salty about it. The hold-spacebar-to-move-cursor thing is just ever so slightly less efficient than the previous force-touch-anywhere-on-keyboard-to-move-cursor. (But I get why they removed it -- that was pretty much the only good actual use of 3d touch. Elsewhere in the iOS UI, it just made things more complicated, and I was constantly accidentally force-touching things instead of long-pressing them, etc. Probably not worth the added hardware costs.)
Licht and Musk are similar in that they both hold right-of-center (Licht) or right-of-right (Musk) views, convinced themselves that they’re representative of the median American, and bet their respective media orgs on amplifying their views on the assumption that a majority of Americans would flock to them. Instead, they’ve hemorrhaged viewers/users, alienated key personnel and, in Musk’s case, terrified advertisers. If the market is the ultimate arbiter of theses, theirs have been thoroughly falsified.
