Interesting... i usually buy prepaid sim cards outside of EU (due to "fuck-you" roaming prices), and every time I bought one, in multiple countries, I had to scratch off the silver "paint" to get to the random pin written on the sim card (the large plastic part, the one that you break of the mini/micro/nano sim from).

VPN isn't exactly supposed to provide safety though.
I don't dare to call my virtual home network a "VPN" anymore because people will instantly ask which provider its using. I need a new word that means virtual private network but doesn't have the "rented proxy for hiding my identity" meaning.

I was recently in a similar situation having to first investigate how (various) GPU utilization metrics are defined, and then I also had to explain this information to someone who had the task of representing GPU-related metrics to users.

Both turned out to be quite difficult... First had to do with NVML (the library behind nvidia-smi), which isn't very well documented... but I had some help there. But, even after sort of making a mental image of available metrics, the task of presenting users with actionable statistics turned out to be also very hard.

On top of what OP writes, imagine now the added modality of having a hierarchical structure of PU workers, some of which, are not even hardware... and, subsequently, the stalls resulting from bad data alignment rather than waiting on physical processes to complete. Add to this yet another modality of vRAM occupancy and its bandwidth utilization...

And if you want to show a single number that tells users how loaded their system is... what do you do? Average? Sum? Weighted sum? What if you wanted some absolute units rather than percents? When the data doesn't properly align (to fill up all the SIMD lanes) should this be counted towards "bad" GPU performance or just assumed to be the nature of the workload?

Interestingly, the "utilization" nvidia-smi reports is about time, not the number of instructions executed. And it's about time that at least one SP wasn't marked as idle.

This stuff becomes even more fuzzy, when eg. NVLink is involved... it's really hard to give concise information to not extremely technical users that'd be actionable from their perspective.

Literature reviews are meant to get broad down to the hyperfocused, and stay focused. But many of these issues are related to marketing, governance, economics, etc.

The above comment doesn't deserve to be downvoted, it's a legitimate question. I myself was excited at the idea of VR to replace monitors, until I realized that making use of all that theoretical space would require me to crane and twist my neck at extreme angles for extended amounts of time. Upon reflection, it seems strictly worse than just making use of your OS's built-in support for virtual workspaces, where switching between them takes only a simple keypress rather than contorting my body.
> Beto won Harris county by less than 10 points.

Beto was (and is) damaged goods politically; I voted for him but figuratively held my nose doing so.
I think of standards as coming in two flavors, declarative(this is how things should be done) and descriptive(this is how things are currently done). posix is mostly on the descriptive side of things. that being said posix is a prime example of the duality of standards, it is both a terrible standard, encodifying things that probably should not have been encodified and vitally important, it keeps everybody on the same page. On that note I consider posix a good starting point but it is no great sin to abandon it when needed.

These days posix is largely "how does linux do it" just like in the past where it was "how does insert_large_unix_vendor_here do it"

It is my concern because relationships are built on trust. One can assume that everyone has a smartphone today and they know how to manage the settings on their devices. This is not the case. Technology agnostic - settings are either there or not. It is up to me as the sender and the one that would like to maintain respect, to be respectful with my communication. Which is to not begin or continue communication when it is not of the appropriate time.

Yep. Users frequently treat the link title as a writing prompt rather than clicking through to read the article. This can generate pretty jarring results if there are several different ways to interpret the title.
Why has the ratio of verified dropped?
I see what you mean, but specifically for a small video game company this is a potential goldmine of free advertising.

Not the “Apple products are status symbols” canard.

How is something a “status symbol” if it has a 60% market share in the case of phones?

> passkeys are a much better and easier method

Disagree. This isn't possible with passkeys:

- logging into a service with email and brain-stored password from any device

With passkeys, your phone becomes your password, so don't break it, lose it, let it die, forget it in the car, become too old, let your kids use it, etc

> “tap this button to magically log in” method

That only works if the device you tap it on is the same device with the key, while that's not always the way for many people (sync may or may not be set up or active)

So sad SBF is too busy to be able to invest in your startup.
Agreed. Though I think that the 'struggling' part creates a lag in both aspects. I think the 'gotta have a side-hustle' trend is a strong indicator of this. I would be interested in seeing the trends in number of people working 2+ jobs (or income streams), population shifts to more affordable areas, and number of disconnects of non-essential services. From experience growing up in a poor family, I know the definition of 'non-essential' can expand greatly as desperation grows.

as a telemarketer some 25 years ago, perchance I talked to your friend's dad.

Although, he had said that he had just downed a handful of viagra and I was running the clock out on that so he really, really had to get off... the phone.

Telemarketing was one of my first jobs between high school and college. I hated the job and I was fired because I couldn't sell anything to anyone. Area jobs were very slim and I didn't have much experience, and it paid considerably better than mcdonalds - I apologize to World+Dog for being that obnoxious nuisance. I landed a job in IT shortly therafter and never looked back.

You can always come to HN in order to find contrarian views.
Because the ratio of verified was too optimistic in the beginning - and potentially the current ratio is closer to the reality, with a minority of games released on PC actually made to work well on a smaller screen.

Note that requiring a launcher, or keyboard input also make the games land in playable territory even though it works perfectly otherwise.
>You can also lay the graph array order out to minimize cache misses. This is something I've been looking into, but haven't implemented personally.

The issue with RCM is that it only works for undirected graphs, from what I remember. I'm less familiar with GNNs, but if you are trying to optimize for arbitrary BFS type traversals, an easy trick is to just do a few traversals from random sources and average the results. This can be used to reorder the graph and works pretty well in practice.
I think displays with built-in KVM switching is your only option right now.

VPNs basically solve three mass issues:

* Pretending to be in another country to evade geoblocks by internet resources.

* Using P2P and avoiding law enforcement attention of your own country.

* Avoid your own country's legally enforced IP and DNS blocks of specific resources.

VPNs are fairly efficient at all that without providing any additional anonymity.
Great idea, thank you
I have nothing against progress itself (although I'm not sure why you brought social progress into this), but not everything has to be everything. XML parsers are useful, but surely you wouldn't want one included in libstdc++.

And I'm not saying there isn't room for improvement. There are lots of genuinely useful features C is missing, especially regarding static analysis. I would love to have a proof assistant that can integrate with a C/C++ compiler to prove equivalence of functions, so you could write an obvious version and then transform it step by step to an optimized version, which is guaranteed to have the same observable behaviour.
Perhaps you're using a broad/generic example to try and make the point but I'll say this:

If a seasoned mechanic is unable to figure out how to reset the Maintenance Reminder or look up how to sync Tire Pressure sensors, run away.

In the same way that one can use knowledge of one programming language as a means to leapfrog into other languages, other skilled trades are similar. Perhaps there's something that could be said about an ICE mechanic trying to dabble on Electric but that's not the point you're making. So yeah. I know you're trying to make a point about lock in, but when I think of people I want to hire for tasks who might say "Oh, sorry, you have a Volkswagen and I only know how to work on GMC" I wouldn't take my GMC to them either. It shows a fundamental lack of skill in that they don't understand the broader concepts and their universal applications. If I, a programmer, can figure out my Volkswagen, my GMC, my Mazda, my Nissan, certainly a mechanic can. If my appliance repair specialist can only do Whirlpool when I ask for help on a Bosch that's red flags.

One might specialize. Sure. But to refuse? Weird. But I fear I might be getting lost in the weeds here because its all about the approach. "Sorry, too busy to take on work on things that aren't my specialty": yep, understood. "Sorry, I don't know <model> I only know <other model>" bad.
But then why do you need to write to the DB remotely?

It seems like the inflection point moving from "single-local-application" to "writing-to-remote-db" would be an appropriate point to switch from a single file DB to a larger RDBMS.

I can think of a few scenarios where it could make sense, like a shared small DB on a LAN that doesn't need a full fledged "server", but a primary/secondary relationship makes sense. But those are pretty few... and n>1.

Obviously someone wrote this because they felt a need for it, but I'm struggling to see the use-case. Maybe it's good for CI/or unit testing?

They could:

He attached a dozen Mylar disks to a stainless steel rod, along with a flexible, 700-meter stainless steel cable—the equivalent of Felicia’s string—and a metal-attracting permanent magnet—the counterpart to the cleaning swab. He shot the device through a section of the main ring with compressed air.

Probably, since the guy who suggested it was brought there specifically for that reason.
Schools don't already ban them from the classroom?
They probably have put the most effort into making popular games work, but as time as gone one, they've tried to “verify” more and more less popular games. I'm assuming here that there is a missing “not previously reviewed” segment in the graph, i.e. there are less games at the start than at the end.

Mastodon ain’t it because the exact minute a minimum wage Geek Squad tech has to explain to a sorority group the reason they can’t follow each other is because they are using different federated instances is the exact minute mastodon fails to gain any mainstream appeal. It will likely always captivate some niche of users looking for a slice of the nostalgic, techie internet (Mastodon will remain an HN darling no doubt), but a Twitter drop in, it is not.

Unfortunately this point is a bit of FUD about Passkeys (or just off topic). Passkeys themselves don't require internet access. Syncing them across devices might require internet access in the same way that password managers might require internet access to sync across devices.
I guess they can't ban a product for all eternity. In the decision [1] they are a bit more specific:

One of the sites (coop.se) in this decision did use a server-side GTM container to mask the IP before it was sent to Google, but they were still told to stop using GA, but they weren't fined. The DPA said that the _gads, _ga, and _gid cookies were enough to be identifiable. I don't follow the logic there, but that rules out using a proxy for compliance (at least done as coop did it).
No matter what strategy you use to hash IPs, if you can correlate to an IP you can find the original IP by just trying all options. It doesn’t matter what you do because 4B unique possibilities is just too low to prevent brute forcing while maintaining utility.

If you use a random salt, then you need to store it or else the stored value has no utility. However you implement retrieval of that salt it can just be brute forced.
I have no idea why this has to be a government-based rule (law? ... assuming they won't fix it until oct. 1st). Although I'm older, and phones were not as common as now, our schools had "school-rules" forbidding the use during classes, and if you got caught with a phone, the teacher would take it, and parents would have to come to school and pick it up. Are schools unable to implement simple rules and need the government to do it now?

I'm bothered mostly, because school rules are school rules. Need to adapt? Need some "modification" of the rules? A teacher can do it. If it's government rules, there are pretty sure to be some edge cases, where someone will have to break those rules to achieve something positive.

There's a finite amount of validation effort available and presumably in the early days there was a focus on highlighting the games that best demonstrated the Deck's selling points. It stands to reason that as time goes by and the low hanging fruit has been picked, validation effort instead goes into more and more obscure or less obviously Deck friendly games.

Not sure why this post is getting down voted? It's spot on - the limitation lies in relatively small text encoders within stable diffusion/mid journey. Larger language models contribute to better image generation (see: DeepFloyd). Google's CapPa also recently showed an alternative to the contrastive learning of CLIP at any param count.

Until larger models are released, there are "hacks" like this available: https://bair.berkeley.edu/blog/2023/05/23/lmd/ - GPT4-generated bounding boxes guiding stable diffusion

As far as I see there are 2 uses for VPN.

1/ Being "safer" using public wifis. I use 5g hotspot to my phone to avoid that.
2/ Proxy to other countries for streaming reasons. Still use it for this.

All the rest is just bogus marketing speak.
Its already worse than that. Any provider sitting between you and LetsEncrypt could pass the HTTP challenge on your behalf and get themselves certified as your server.

Free Software isn't about picking and choosing who gets to run your program or interact with your protocol. Federation is, but the concept of Meta using ActivityPub has nothing inherently wrong with it.

If Meta has the gall to rug-pull the entire Fediverse, things will just return to the same status quo they are today. Multiple content silos with thousands of freely-federating alternative platforms. As a Mastodon user I can't say I'm very scared of it, such a decision would hurt Meta more than it helps them.

No one is going to sacrifice their 30+ year career for a bit of free advertising to a video game that you're only going to put 1 or 2 years more into.
