The water situation is way overblown. Crimea did fine since 2014 when the water was cut. There were shortages in the central and north parts but mostly because of high demand from the local industry (Crimean Titan plant) and agriculture (it is hard to believe but they were planting rice over there). It also helped that due to the climate change we had unusually heavy rains and even floods in the southern parts. Because of that, water supply in Sevastopol hasn't been rationed even once even though the population has increased, although it was a common occurrence before 2014.
You forgot the cost of fursuit.
No offense but the iPhone UX is notorious for having obscure features most users don’t know about and which are never exposed. Not that Android is better but as a distinction between the two that’s a poor one. They are both terrible when it comes to properly exposing features.
It does not seem that Russia ever cared about the wellbeing of the territories they occupy.

Sure but the original point was that the hardware was "certainly not durable". Every one of my Mac laptops (except for the 12" 2012 MacBook which is my local emergency machine) since ~2010 is still in active use by family. There's nothing wrong with the hardwares.

A Lisp response to this might be: tables and trees are just special forms of lists.

You can work with tables, trees, maps, vectors, etc. and if they can support list operations (filter, map, reduce, first, last, etc.) then they can be treated like a list and you can do those operations. You can still build IDEs that will show you tables of variables at runtime and graphs of your tree structures.
Great in theory - without including NSFW content, those prices would never fly though.
You don’t make money targeting those without money to spend.

By that logic, Tesla shouldn’t be the top selling car, why would you buy them instead of a 25k Corolla? Many are willing to pay a premium for a best-in class-experience, which is what this headset is.

There’s a lot, lot of disposable income in the world, but not held by the supermajority.
Apple has been actively moving away from China for a several years now, namely Vietnam, India, and Thailand. The reason is both geopolitical risk and increasing wages in China.

Btw. Unnecessarily horrible working conditions are an issue that should be fixed.

Low-wage is not a bad thing in itself. People from China and India escape malnutrition from countryside to cities, then landfill scavenging into sweatshops. Low-pay and hard work is escape for them and wages increase very gradually until it's cheaper to assemble electronics in some poorer countries.
I'm using Mataroa[0] as my blogging platform and it comes with its own analytics. It's very simple, and gives me the following:

- Read counts per post, for the last 25 days.

- How many RSS pulls, for the last 25 days.

- How many site visits, for the last 25 days.

Nothing more, nothing less. I'm pretty happy with them, and have no intention to change it.

There is absolutely zero “good” reason why Russia attacked a sovereign state, there is not many black and white things, but it is as clear as it gets.
> The term "pagan" historically referred to individuals who practiced polytheistic religions outside of the major world religions

Not really, all nature worshippers have been called pagans by followers of Abrahamic religions. "Major/minor" is a modern concept, the original idea was of true believer and heathen – Religion was never a democracy

> Hindus worship Brahman ultimately. Also the "idols" are not seen as the deity but a physical representation that helps worshiping the deity.

Talk to 10 Hindus and you will get 20 definitions of Hinduism. Not surprising, when considering its 4000 year old roots and its practice in an ultra-diverse society.
I wouldn't mind having a huge monitor that I can use anywhere, set up just how I like it. Other than that, you are spot on. Also the camera presents a privacy issue. It has to be always on I suppose.
Yeah it's clear their focus isn't games. There's no way the GPU can push those pixels with the graphical fidelity expected by gamers. But I'm sure it will have no problem pushing the raw pixels as long as you stick to mostly graphical compositing-level graphics like all the productivity/lifestyle stuff they were showing in the demo.
The mustache beefed up to fill in for Homer’s nose in profile. Mwah.
You can see the async keyword on a function definition as a hint to the caller, that the action will be IO bound rather than CPU bound.

Caller can use this information to invoke 10000 IO bound tasks in parallel, whereas cpu bound tasks are limited to number of cores and may want to be throttled. In your analogy, I can eat a donut while simultaneously listening to music, but I can not eat a donut while simultaneously eating fish soup.

Now where it get complicated is when a function does both io wait and heavy cpu processing. Now neither color of the function match.

Forcing this upon the caller to invoke such functions in special ways is the strange part. Taken to the absurd you ought to have special syntax for every resource constraint in the computer, memory bound, disk bound, wifi bound, and so on. It would be better if the runtime could figure this out by itself and parallelize accordingly.

The single threaded aspect of async functions does have certain other benefits, like not having to care as much about muxes when synchronizing state.
IIRC $300 each was 1 GB zip disks in the middle 1990's.
That sounds fun. I do that from time to time, but it gets fumbly for me. You must have a better chair (or keyboard) if it's working for you. Also.. my TV isn't nearly 4k (or even 2k)
> So this is why I can never watch a whole movie and not have a single dropped frame!

No, it is because bandwidth is expensive.
That's why you get a 4k UHD HDR stream at 3MB/s. Your whole stream is calculated based on the few full frames that you receive.

Notice how everybody says: HD up to ...

Down to 0.

I'm seriously hoping it's a success. I grew up on Apple, but five years ago I jumped to Linux and ThinkPads and haven't looked back until now. I want a Linux-based XR environment, but that won't happen unless the hardware becomes cheap and common and hackable enough for a developer community to even think about seriously trying for it. So the range of headsets that have been offered until now have left me disheartened, focused as they are on entertainment. The HoloLens gave me some hope, but Microsoft can't touch Apple for hardware, and they wisely limited themselves to specialized use cases.

Apple isn't playing, though. They're targeting all use cases--entertainment, socializing, and working, even collaboratively. They don't want this just in the office, they want it in the home. If they succeed (on the second generation, mind you) then Microsoft and PC makers will be in the same position phone makers were when the iPhone took hold. They'll have to work together if they want to catch up, and they'll have to work fast, which means working openly.

So I'm hoping. But I ain't betting.
Well, explosive damage..

DirectX is the official API, OpenGL and Vulkan only work because of backwards compatibility Microsoft never got rid of ICD ABI they introduced back when OpenGL in Windows NT was a thing.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/d...

That is how GPU vendor drivers expose OpenGL and Vulkan, via ICD, they aren't even supported on the Windows SDK, it is up to you to get the header files and libraries to link against the DLLs provided by the GPU vendors.

From Windows SDK point of view, OpenGL 1.1 is what is shipped in the box.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/OpenGL/openg...

Even the "OpenGL improvements" introduced in Windows 8 rely on DirectX 3D APIs, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/d...

There is no support for OpenGL/Vulkan on UWP, XBox, HoloLens, Win32 sandboxes, while OpenGL/Vulkan on WSL are exposed via a DirectX driver wrapper, similar to MoltenVK.
If the OS can't see the RAM, then the OS provided ramdisk can't use it either.

But in this case, the use-case for using a ramdisk for a PS scratch disk came from using an A23-aware patched version of System 5.x/6.x with a version of Photoshop that was not A23 aware. AFAIK This was a VERY tiny window around PS1.0 and possibly PS2.0, by the time of PowerPC and System 7.5+ (which this user had), there was very definitely absolutely no advantage to partitioning the RAM away from programs.

At a guess, someone had told them to do it this way in the era of the early Mac IIs and such, but they hadn't grasped the 'why'
Bay Capital Founder and CIO, Siddharth Mehta Views on the Fall of Sensex

Its continued impact on social connection and mobility has only heightened the sense of panic, which is amply represented in financial markets.
Every test has some failure rate aka asterisk. A priori a we cannot dismiss a test for a high failure rate. It depends on how severe the condition is. So for really nasty cancers, we accept higher false positive rates because of the severe consequences.

I don’t know about these expert systems. Might very well be that they were overall useless.

Another scenario where it’s plausible is skin cancer. Let’s say there’s an app with a false positive rate of 10%. Now worried patients flood dermatologists. They quickly double check and send them home or treat them.

Don’t nail me down on numbers here. But it seems like an acceptable situation given that more and more people are dying of skin cancer.
>fake world

Our perception of the world is already "fake". Our body has sensors that probe our exterior and provide input to our brain which attempts to create it's best picture of our surroundings. But it's a "fake world" because it is incomplete and often inaccurate.

These products are simply rough versions of what will some day [2050?] be coordinated digital "brain streams" - replacing the streams from our current sensors - that create whatever reality is intended for the brain to perceive... including streams coordinated with streams going to others... so we can all be in the same virtual space with coordinated live streams replacing our sense of sight, touch, taste, smell, hearing - together with other inputs our current senses don't include ... and it will be impossible for the brain to distinguish between digital input from "natural input"

But I digress... and I'm not even stoned... but I've been thinking about this exact subject since approx 1980 (although back then I insisted everything I said above would exist by the year 2000... ha!)
I’m glad someone’s seriously working on this, and the CodeWeaver team are absolute guns who could pull it off better than almost anyone, but I’m still a little sad about this news since Apple work fairly closely with CodeWeaver - this indicates Apple has investigated doing this themselves and decided against it. Which means we won’t get something miraculous like Rosetta 2.

(I still hold out hope that one day Apple will release a translation layer that seamlessly and efficiently converts DirectX/Vulkan to Metal; the raw GPU power sitting in any given M1 or M2 laptop blows any integrated graphics laptop out of the water, competes with high-end discrete GPU gaming laptops, and the Ultra M1/M2s can go toe-to-toe with pretty much every PC GPU except the 3090 and up. So much potential…)
Come to think about it, image hashing isn't that far conceptually from vector embeddings.
For the longest time, I did not want analytics. I don't write for traffic or eyeballs, and I abhor being profiled for ads. My purpose is to think via writing, and as a side-benefit feed conversations about the stuff I am interested in.

Recently though, I added Cloudflare analytics (no cookies, no deep profiling) out of sheer curiosity, in the spirit of the innocent surprise and joy of seeing "hits" from across the world on my very first website in the mid 2000-s. Sooner or later I'll get rid of it.

As Julia writes in her post, page views aren't important to me. The occasional email conversations that fall out of my posts are!

what do you use the cpu cores for on a threadripper, is it work that any of the other computing units available on this chip can do?
It proves that there is a way to diagnose this type of mistake, that is what matters.

Unlike C, which the only way to be safe is not to touch it at all.

As for performance, ISO doesn't implement compilers, there are many ways to improve performance while keeping the semantics in line with the standard.

If the compiler vendors decide to focus elsewhere is another matter, a bit like there are languages as complex as Rust and compile faster, because that has been a concern, whereas rustc developers have their concerns elsewhere.

You’d think everyone in the US can align with Ukraine on this.

Peaceful orientation: Russia started it

Warlike orientation: Ukraine winning this thing would defeat a major US rival

Budget conscious: sending $1 to Ukraine does more to cement US hegemony than sending it to the DoD

Social justice types: Russia has a horrific record on the human rights of anyone who isn’t Putin

Conservatives: Ukraine, formerly part of the USSR, is trying to align itself more with the Western way of doing things and Russia is violently trying to stop them
As someone reasonably familiar with Wittgenstein's work, I was surprised by how much of his time was spent going to the movies. And not to see masterpieces, but mostly to see formulaic American Westerns. He was plagued by philosophical thoughts constantly and so a movie "without any artistic or intellectual pretensions" served as a kind of mind refresher for him.
If you check the Glassdoor page for WDAS you will see that situations like that are the norm. Occam's Razor is satisfied without the need to stand up a DEI strawman.

But I'm still sorry about your BIL. I have friends who have met similar fates, sometimes with great loss up to and including divorce / breaking up of families, and exacerbated stress leading to severe medical issues. It's normal in the Los Angeles technical job market to know someone who has been through something like that.
The confidence of this assertion is at odds with the what is currently known, and in-line with the war of narrative, another fiercely contested front of this conflict. Perhaps nothing corrodes the truth more than war - I wonder what the second order effect this will have on how people view media going forward; we can only ever be more distrustful, and more skeptical of whatever we're being asked to believe
They claim 4k resolution over some 120x70 degrees FoV.

This makes for some ~800x600 resolution for a focus area such a page of text in the middle of the field. How can it be sharp enough?

Does it use some sort of uneven pixel distribution?
That will be meters deep mud with steep banks I guess, completely open to enemy fire. Not crossable.
I found ZHA to be suffering from severe doc rot around OTA updates and a few other edge features, and that devices that just worked with zigbee2mqtt were unpairable or unstable with ZHA. I gave up after 3 months of almost daily effort and went back to zigbee2mqtt, where I had immediate stability and almost zero effort.

No as hardware peaks you can write software that lasts forever.

I recently found out that code I wrote 15 years ago on a whim because I was frustrated about some inaccuracy in a rendering pipeline is the basis for one of the major components of a multi million user application.

I wrote that code on top of 10 year old code.

I’m sure it has changed over the years, but at some layer both my code and the now 25 year old code I based it on live on.

Most of the code I write is garbage the day I write it. I agree most of it will be unused in 30 years.

But some of it lives on, and you likely won’t know it when you write it.
This is an old video from November last year (when ruscists retreated from Kherson).
luckily for you, they released the "uncensored" model so you can train it on all of the bomb building instructions you would like.
What are the messages hidden in each video. Unless I'm mistaken, the text below doesn't say what the hidden message is?

In addition, does anyone have a version of the video with the messages visible, as outlined in the first description:

Entire message can be seen clearly by using video editing software and applying a tracer/echo effect and having 60 images in a trail that each are 0.033 seconds after the previous. This process can also be repeated with code.
Way earlier than that. There's two ways I think about code:

1. The code I write is a response to what I currently understand of problem I currently have, using my current understanding of current tools. Expertise improves how big the "current" horizon is on understanding problems and tools, but the current-ness of the problem space and tool space are external factors. Either way, both personal growth and world changes (basically time) will and should invalidate code.

2. Code is an expensive liability against the Universal Bank of Entropic Chaos. We take on the liability of building and maintaining it so that we generate a complementary asset that does something we consider valuable. But there is always an initial price and compound interest to be paid. Expertise will reduce both the price and the interest rate, but neither can ever go to zero.

+1 on the point about movie-star and athlete unions. And as you said, the descriptions of unions are pretty cartoonish and portrayed as universally undemocratically accountable to their members.

What I find even more remarkable about the "too much self-interest to form an effective union" based argument is that highly competitive companies in every sector routinely find common cause and form lobbies to influence policy to benefit all competing members within the lobby. Somehow, this phenomenon does not seem as mysterious to the public as scientific labor finding common cause to form a collective of any sort. So even the idea that self-interest in general precludes solidarity is untrue. As for points of specific tactics, different unions have tactics other than strikes. I mistakenly assumed this point is self-evident to folks but perhaps it is not. And the assumption that HN commenters are unaware that scientific work also goes on in other countries independent of any union intervention in the US is...incredible.

The point raised about being scooped while on strike (or that one's career will suffer while others continue to work) is identical to one of the explicit anti-union campaign talking points raised by U Penn a couple of years ago. I was pretty surprised to see such an identical point show up on here.
I did pick up a nice chair when some nearby offices were being vacated a couple years ago. I have used a decade-old Apple BT keyboard and trackpad. They're great (though the batteries have to be changed every month or so). My TV is 1080p, and I wish it were a bit higher resolution, for sure.
I wrote some Jboss 5 code in 2009 (ish) that JUST hit the end of Red Hat's Extended Life Support in 2022. JBoss 5 EoL was announced in 2016, but you can purchase 5-6 years of critical security fixes with Red Hat's ELS.

That's only 15 years, but in some industries maintaining a stable software configuration is mission critical. If the software gets changed/upgraded, expensive certifications have to be re-done (e.g. FAA's certification for aircraft software).

But that's only when changing the code is DRAMATICALLY more expensive than freezing. In most cases, you want your codebase to be evolving to meet the changing requirements of whoever needs the software.

> A mechanical keyboard is certainly not the universally optimal means of character entry.

Funnily enough, I think that this is basically the ultimate limit of touch based systems — humans rely very much on touch, and touch screens’ smooth surface removes every physical hint from the system. Just remember back to how we could compose a whole message blindly in our pockets with feature phones, yet I can’t write a sentence correctly nowadays without constantly looking at the screen.

Now you would even take away that? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think that the keyboard layout or anything is the optimum, but it is sure as hell closer to it than randomly hitting the table. The mechanical part is funnily being the key part.
