Interesting, Maybe it has to do with the extra analyses that the brain performs on hearing. What I hear is not the raw vibration but a amonst other things a fourier transform of it. i hear a distinct pitch. The brain uses the harmonic overtones of sounds to group them together. When I feel vibrations with my finger I just feel slower or faster vibrations.

By the way, sometimes I hear a sound so low that I am confused whether I hear or feel it.
Microsoft put over 200 mil in Halo 5, only to promptly abandon it. Needless to say, Microsoft has not been a great steward for first party games. Ninja Theory has been making Hellblade for god knows how many years, Redfall, Sea of Thieves... All massive investments with very little return.
What does mainlining mean in this context?
I never worked in the industry, so unfortunately I don’t have a basis for comparison. But in our case (academia in Sweden) I’d say it is certainly not because of lack of safety. If anything, one of my assumptions is that it’s actually the opposite. Since we’re not being judged by merit (at least not in any significance way for better or worse), and there is no easy way to get paid more for extra time or better outcomes, people will inflate their mediocre results to find a way to work less with the same pay.
Shame it seems unsupported by Sigrok? (The whole line, not just new one.) I understand Digilent having no interest in helping, but I'm surprised there wouldn't have been sufficient community interest in figuring it out, however much of a hack it required.

I effing hope so. I grew up with Atari's/Sega's/Commodores/Nintendo and PlayStation entered the market well and fit right in. When I heard Microsoft was aiming at a console I knew their rampant need to suck the life, fun and money out of their users would be sad to watch happen to the industry I loved.

And despite spending weeks on a couch stoned with a mate playing thru halo...I still despised what hid behind their console-y veneer. Corporate bloodlust.

Whether it was their unique approach to online play (pay you bastards) or their game store shelf tactics (put us where the bastards will pay the most) or their absolute bs that gaming had to always be AAA (so those bastards pay us AAA prices)...I was always sad to see they didn't die.

From idiotic naming, Nazi like banning, jacked up game prices, exclusivity and religion shenanigans, hardware format warmongering, censorship where it didn't need to be and none where it should have been (I'm looking at you uno 360), or just plain creation of the most toxic gamer population known to man (Xbox live kids)...I one day hope to hear them go the way of Sega because unlike Sega, they deserve it.
Are those devs not ever collaborating with non-tech people on documents? Also when you say wiki, do you mean a mediawiki instance or the ones included in things like github?
> big acquisitions that, in hindsight, made Big Tech more competitive (the most common examples are Google acquiring DoubleClick and YouTube, and Facebook acquiring WhatsApp and Instagram).

How did these acquisitions make big tech more competitive?
> since it’s possible to imagine it, this means it will come into existence

Nope. That's not the argument. In fact, it's such a bad take that it reeks of a deliberately constructed strawman.

The actual argument is: Since it's possible to imagine it, and doesn't contradict any known laws of nature or technology, and current development appears to be iterating towards it, it might come into existence, thus it presents a statistical risk.

When I take out tornado insurance, it's not because I know my house will be blown away by a storm – it's because I don't know, but the possibility is there.

Certainty is not required in order to conclude that risk exists. Quite the opposite is true: Risk is a function of uncertainty.
The signatories are some of the paper's authors. It's not common for authors to criticise their own methodology as shitty. Anyway it's clear they didn't think the paper was ready to be made public so what is there to criticise about its methodology? It's a work in progress.
They’re trying the opposite, bringing the console model to PC. The consoles themselves are still necessary, since they’re the default hardware non-enthusiasts buy.
Maybe Microsoft could compete by building something people would pay money for, rather than just buying their way to a dominant position?

Twitter hack: Joseph O'Connor jailed for celebrity cyber attack
Harry and Meghan Produce a Hollywood Flop: Themselves
I've been doing "devops" stuff for a long time, but only got into Kubernetes in the last 18 months or so.

I've been endlessly frustrated by how prevalent "just add a <x> second sleep" is in the Kubernetes world.

Examples:

If you're using IRSA to provide pods an AWS IAM Role, it can take some time on first-run for the role to become usable. So your app has to just wait until it can successfully talk to AWS.

If you're using the AWS Elastic Load Balancer controller, you need to add sleeps during pre-stop for a pod. The controller has to see the shutdown event, then start target deregistration on the ELB Target Group. That's a minimum of 30 seconds, during which you can be getting new connections.

Service meshes on Kubernetes add some fun on both startup AND shutdown.

Linkerd, for instance, will only inject it's linkerd-proxy container into your pod after startup. So it's entirely possible for your main application container to start, begin talking to the world and then a moment later all your connections get reset when Linkerd-proxy takes over the pod's networking configuration.

You can fix this by injecting into all of your containers a linkerd-await utility that replaces the container entrypoint. It will wait until linkerd starts before starting your regular entrypoint. It's basically a more advanced version of sleep.

Shutdown is just as fun - linkerd-proxy will immediately terminate, dropping all network connectivity for all the containers in your pod. There's a fix for this, too, which involves the above linkerd-await and another option.
I like to call it "premature obsolescence". I don't believe that the manufacturers actively try to make your old phone get slower.

Rather the opposite: they don't try to keep your old phone working. The devs probably have the latest phone, and write code that works well with them. This code can be inefficient, as long as it works well on the newer phone, even if it makes older phones slower.

Maybe I am being pedantic, but I think it is different: it is _not_ that manufacturers actively pay their devs to make the phones slower (which would be planned obsolescence), but rather they _do not pay_ the devs to make sure the old phones _do not get slower_. The latter is "passive", that's (to me) premature obsolescence: the manufacturer could fight premature obsolescence, but it has a cost (and obviously they don't want to pay for it).
Well, if you need to fit the lab in laptop case sure, also great as a learning tool for a classroom (which I think was original idea behind it?) but in most cases you'd be far better off with say Rigol 1054Z + whatever cheapest logic analyzer/generator you can get off aliexpress.

I have AD2 and it had some unique niches it is good at (14 bits makes it somewhat capable at doing some analysis on audio devices), but I by far prefer to use my cheap-ish scope for near-anything else. Just amount of memory alone is big advantage, higher input range (AD only have like...2 or 3 IIRC, rest is faked by wasting bits on ADC), proper probe sockets without needing adapter, ability to just press buttons and knobs to do what you need without getting back to the computer and going thru menus etc.

Then again, ability to script measurement is also pretty nifty. Can be done on many scopes but by far more effort than on AD
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the McCulloch-Pitts neuron. New learners interested in the history of the field aren't being helped by an influx of low-quality, SEO-optimized articles appearing amongst the top Google results. There seems to be confusion around the specific contributions of the McCulloch-Pitts neuron (the threshold logic unit), and the Rosenblatt neuron (the perceptron). It's also not clear whether McCulloch-Pitts is also a perceptron, and if it should be considered a weighted model.

> 5 is larger than 4 therefore the kid knows what to ask, regardless of age.

I don't know a single kid that would not know which models are current gen and which are better or worse. Argument about non technical parents is valid but any kid today will know which Xbox to get and will tell their parents. Kids these days know much more stuff than you seem to think, they spent 1/3-1/4 of their lives on the internet. My 11-12yo nephews built PCs just following youtube guides, they do video montages of their Fortnite games to put on youtube and almost every single friend of theirs is similarly familiar with current tech.

Xbox having lower numbers is purely fault of PS dominating the market over last decade, people will continue buying it cause they trust Sony to deliver exclusives and they have existing game libraries. I converted two Sony fanboys to Xbox with Game Pass and they both love it. Noone these days buys a PS "because they are confused with Xbox naming", 5 minutes of googling answers any questions. The only people who might really have an issue with this are boomers+ who are not even going to buy a console for themselves cause "games are for kids and a waste of time".
The problem with coding on the phone is the editing experience. Phone keyboards aren't made to edit code. The only thing this editor does to improve that is to show a bunch of special characters above the standard keyboard[1]. That keyboard also has its own autocomplete function, which doesn't make sense in the context of a code editor. A code editor for the phone should implement its own keyboard.

I don't know the origin either, but things spread by word of mouth in ways other than the internet. For example, I had friends who were Deadheads.

Reasons for Not Writing Unit Tests (2016)
Consoles in general suck today. The games are all about monetization, they can mostly only run one person per console, and you can only get about 5 full games on the drive. I miss getting 4-16 people together on 1-4 consoles. The games were mostly portable via DVD/CD so you could bring a bunch of different options, or people who event bringing consoles could bring extra copies if one of the console owners didn't own a game. Used games could be had for a fraction of the cost. And no paid loot boxes or paying to level up.

I don't think I'll ever buy another console. I'll probably go with PC gaming instead.

Lemme fix your marketing, XBox: call the “no drive” ones “cloud” or “online” or “vapor” or whatever.

Call your next one 9006 so it is simultaneously “over 9000”, and puts you back in the semver race with PlayStation. /s
That's nonsense. Senior authors may not contribute text to the paper but they will normally be involved in every other way - reading drafts, making recommendations, directing the research.

I know it's standard on HN to accuse senior academics of exploiting their PhD students and I'm pretty sure there is plenty of that to go around but it is a very rare PhD student that can write a publishable paper without advise and guidance from their advisor. The name gives a hint, even.

I'm speaking in this as a recently graduated PhD student btw. I don't have any conflicts of interest (well, not yet, hopefully). It sucks that many students have absolutely rotten relations with their advisors but that's exactly because the student depends so much on the advisor for direction that it's easy for the power differential to be exploited by unscrupulous individuals.
Or, you know, just stop eating so much. It isn't hard and you can do it for free. Even if you have the genetics of a plant, you are not going to defy the laws of thermodynamics and gain weight while eating below maintenance.

What is more common than genetic abnormalities causing excessive weight gain is eating calories in secret, as well as an extremely inaccurate sense of the caloric content of food.

Everyone makes mistakes; I tend to be forgiving.

For example "eating in the street is rude" is one of those things that's just a foreign concept to many people outside Japan. I just so happen to know about this from a YouTube video I once watched, but if it wasn't for that I could see myself doing it. Hell, even with that I could see myself just forgetting because it's such an alien concept to me that this is considered rude.

Do you currently game on the PC? Most AAA titles, regardless of platform, are doing the lootbox/battle pass/mtx to death strategy on PC as well.
I think it’s important to note the revenue coming from mobile gamers (generally) isn’t the same revenue that Sony/MS are after here. Very different customer segments with very different demographics. You’re right though, it seems that the mobile sector is growing and the console one has stagnated.

I imagine contingent of people who spend big bucks on mobile games _probably_ wouldn’t be spending that money on AAA PS5 games otherwise.

They most certainly don't welcome challenges to the basic assumptions on which their teachings rest.

Professors are trying to teach a class, not engage in a debate with a student. Challenging basic principles that everyone in the class are already assumed to have accepted is usually seen as an attempt to derail the lecture.

Derailing the lecture and drawing the professor into a debate with you effectively denies the other students access to education. It’s roughly equivalent to heckling a comedian.

If you want to debate your professor, do it on your own time, in office hours. If the professor is still offended and unwilling to debate then you have reasonable grounds to complain. Most professors I’ve met absolutely love to debate outside of class.

I haven't noticed this at all. My phone is 4 years old and feels just as fast as always. My previous one I remember thinking how snappy it was after a factory reset when I sold it on. The one before that died. The one before that kept its speed but the battery turned to shit and I couldn't be bothered trying to get it changed. I'm just about to replace this one but it's still in great working order so one of my kids wants it as their first phone.

There was one Android device my wife had that got slower and slower and it was a known issue with the disk.
Starting about a year ago, western news sources markedly reduced coverage. There coverage wasn't that great anyway - mostly people hanging around Moscow, Berlin, or Kiev and reporting what they heard. The few outlets that continued a higher pace of coverage mostly stopped around January of this year. And what coverage they have is mostly from them looking at Telegram and other social media.

On the face of it, you might say "pick your poison" when choosing between Russian and Ukrainian social media sources, but the pro-Russian sources hae been consistently counter factual, stating things like the number of Patriot systems destroyed as much higher than the number of systems in theater. There are some quality pro-Ukraine sources that I've found provide consistently good info.

That you leap from "basic challenges" to anti-science fundamentalism really shows how deep-rooted this problem is. Most educated people today earnestly believe that the only ones who would disagree on basic issues with the high priests of academia are fanatics, conspiracy nuts, and quacks.

The idea that academics are on the right path has turned from something that must be continuously demonstrated to something that is assumed by default, as part of a new orthodoxy that ironically is almost indistinguishable from the religious and ideological orthodoxies that science once sought to replace.
It would be really sad if that happened. The current (previous? Oxalis/Howard) guide company really cared about keeping the cave and its locale pristine.
This is by the same company that runs Second Life, which has heavily regulated in-game gambling, even citing the "Reasoned Legal Opinion" of the "Attorney General of Alaska" for why the things they allow are legal in 38 states (and D.C.)[1]

So we know for certain that it is not legal for most forms of gambling, only for games that are at least 51% skill-based.

IMO lots of accidental complexity with no real value (in most use cases). I saw myself disagreeing frequently with pre-defined charts and creating an own chart just for one use case is better done with kustomize. It might make sense though for a bigger org with at least several dozens of engineers to ensure certain internal standards (in which platform engineering might make sense as well).
