After DDG's earlier announcements delivering the image that DDG then severed their uneasy dependency from Bing, this makes them look really bad. Retorting with mumbo jumbo about secondary stuff like flights, business listings etc that are just related to website retention rather than their core structure as an apparent search engine, just makes it worse.

I still believe DDG has a place, in being a more privacy-focused aggregator to Bing and a few other sources, but this did shatter the previous image of DDG having a large degree of autonomy for me.
If I was finding that I am spending too much energy checking my mail for a letter, I don't presume that it takes me more energy to check mail than it does for me to send it. Rather, I presume that I'm choosing to go check my mailbox too often. That is literally all I am saying here.

Your logic on why that is, is effectively my assertion on why someone would find that transmitting devices are easier on the battery. People build the device thinking "the message could come at any time, so we always have to check." Stop doing that, and you go easier on the battery.

That is all to say, yes? We appear to be in fairly solid agreement on why a receiving device uses more battery. Has nothing to do with one being more battery per byte sent/received. Has everything to do with whiffing on many more receives than you do on sends. And is in complete control of the person building/operating the device.

> The National Maximum Speed Limit (NMSL) was a provision of the federal government of the United States 1974 Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act that effectively prohibited speed limits higher than 55 miles per hour (89 km/h). It was drafted in response to oil price spikes and supply disruptions during the 1973 oil crisis and remained the law until 1995.

I've always been under the impression 55 was the optimum speed for (ICE) fuel efficiency.

Does this change at all for electrics (given regenerative braking)?
Can you elaborate? I may certainly have missed a potential target audience, but I can’t really think of one that would be more confused / farther from the truth after reading my headlinese than before, which is what I assume you meant by negative information.
> Is your complaint that activation is troublesome and bureaucratic? Isn't that also true with physical SIMs?

No? Normally SIM card activated by carrier before sending to you, like a cable/satellite card would be. It just works when you put it in devices, can be swapped around between devices without a secondary internet connection. Same if you buy prepaid sim at a store, many countries you can just buy and activate at checkout, then put in phone, no carrier helper apps needed.

> With eSIM, you should be bale to just have all three eSims stored on the phone, marking the one you want to use as active, and switching whenever you want, with no need to carry around physical bits of plastic any more.

If wanting to change devices you need an internet connection and hope activation app/site isn't down, call on the phone to manually transfer (which requires a working phone service), or go into a store. Many carriers will not activate eSIM devices they don't recognize the IMEI of. The situation is only fairly seamless currently with iPhone in the US, most international carriers don't support the automatic iPhone transfer stuff. It's kind of a mess everywhere else on Android.
Technically they are a fork, and I believe that they have some manpower to sustain it for a time. I don't believe that they have, or will ever have, the manpower or the know-how to for example rewrite critical parts of it. And so, they completely depend on Google open-sourcing the Chromium project. Should that project be abandoned AND the internet diverge from the current standards, they and other Chromium based projects would struggle to keep up, if even.

So yes, the Brave project is much more than a reskin, or rebrand. They put way too much effort in for that. But the intent of the communication, that Brave absolutely depends on Google, is valid nevertheless.

One of the biggest frustrations I had with Twitter is those periodic decisions to swap my feed back to algorithmic. I would always find myself staring at a tweet I had seen before but which was hugely popular, or at something from some celeb I'm supposed to give a shit about.
> Seldom will you find a support team who can understand a technical hardware problem like this, and even more seldom will you find a company that responds to this with anything other than "nothing we can do, sorry".

I've had reasonable luck, honestly. Certainly not the majority of the time, but often enough to have some hope.

I've found that if I treat the support person decently -- as in, don't show my irritation and treat them as I'd prefer to be treated if I had their job -- and I demonstrate (not assert) that I've done my homework, know what I'm talking about, and am reasonable, I can get things escalated to someone who has the knowledge and power to address my concern.

I've even been put directly in touch with devs this way on occasion.

What I've learned is that most support people actually do want to get your issue resolved and don't want to spend all day with you. What you need to do is give them an acceptable (to their supervisors) reason to kick your issue to someone who can be more helpful. And don't be a dick. Nobody's going to go out of their way to help a dick.

No, on the contrary, Austral is entirely built around resource management. The central concept is linear types, which is about ensuring 1) resources are disposed of and 2) resourced are used according to their protocol, e.g. no use-after-free.

There's "no garbage collection" because Austral lets you have manual memory management without the danger, like Rust.

There are no destructors in the sense of special destructor functions which are called implicity at the end of scope, or when the stack unwinds. Rather, you have to call the destructors yourself, explicitly, and if you forget the compiler will complain.

This sounds verbose until you start paying attention to all the mistakes you make all the time that involve, in some way, forgetting to use a value. The language makes it impossible to forget to do something.
Hardware Security Module. Basically an embedded device that stores cryptographic keys and performs cryptographic operations (like encrypting/decrypting/signing).

EDIT: HN is throttling me for responding too quickly so I'm responding to the comment below this. eSIM uses UICC hardware, not unlike a cryptographic smartcard (think PIV or OpenPGP smartcards). It's built upon the same kind of cards as physical UICC (SIM) cards are. You have a CPU, some memory, and the ability to store applets usually written in java. Where eSIM/eUICC is different is it is an implementation of downloadable SIM profiles. The standard does allow for, and there are physical removable eSIM's made. The phone controls profiles on them using apdu commands at the low-leve: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_card_application_protoco... . Check my prior comments on the matter.
Absolutely not. SF voters think police shouldn't crack down on people openly selling/using drugs, weather on trains, buses, sidewalks, or in front of schools because that would perpetuate racism. They also are removing algebra from middle school for DEI reasons. Many believe developers should not be allowed to build any market rate housing. The planning process to build anything requires years of environmental costing millions which is much more onerous than in most European and Asian cities. In Asia people in general are not onboard with the "woke" culture of San Francisco. Socially, they're much more conservative. In general, Europe is in between.
I wish there were a way to “follow” a HN thread. I am very curious about this, too.
I used to think most politicians were cooks. Now I realize most of them are very smart and have very different private opinions from the ones they scream at their base.

Absolutely, it appears that audio is the most suitable interface for use in public settings.

Any other device that might obstruct vision could potentially pose a safety risk. This is not only due to the blocking of visual input but also because it could display distracting content when one is in a real-life situation that requires complete visual attention.

Ok let me know when there’s an OS or browser that’s totally secure. Attestation does not prove that a device meets any security bar. And likewise lack of attestation does not prove that a device does not meet a security bar. Attestation merely shows that a device has been “allowed”. You might argue that all devices with attestation have been audited for security so at least that provides some standard. How well did audits work in the past for things like mortgage backed securities in 2008? No, it doesn’t provide any guarantee other than the power that be are empowered to grant themselves and their friends privileged status while leaving everybody else without a device that can run the software they want.

I think for tasks like parsing javascript the parser is usually unable to saturate memory bandwidth. Whether that's because it's parsing to an in-memory representation that is a tangle of pointers all over the heap or because it is full of unpredictable branches seems unimportant as a user.

The story is similar for LLVM. The fact that a CPU-bound task can be pessimized into stalling on cache and TLB misses all the time doesn't mean that it isn't CPU-bound.

A commonly deployed compression format which is lauded as revolutionary has a decoder that contains 0 SIMD intrinsics and uses significantly-fewer-than-optimal number of interleaved streams (according to papers published many years before the format was standardized!), which drives up the length of the dependency chains, and if you try to decode many chunks at the same time then you also get into trouble because you can't fit many tables into cache. The decoder does not saturate memory bandwidth and toy decoders of similar codecs from papers published years before are predictably faster.

The more ubiquitous compression formats are worse.

It's common to encounter hash tables that underperform robin hood tables that support bulk operations by a factor of 100, applications that use red-black trees with individually allocated nodes as priority queues (as opposed to ternary heaps or b-trees or whatever), and sorts that underperform by a factor of 10 compared to radix sort of multi-key quick sort because they are written in terms of a comparator function that must run in its entirety, so that the subset of the items whose first-sorted-by field are the same cannot skip this comparison. This comparison is commonly a comparison of data behind a pointer rather than data present in the struct.
That doesn't refute what I'm saying. Calculators solve algebraic problems with a set of assumed constraints. That applies to the majority of elementary school math, and trivializes work that previously required dedicated thought.

ChatGPT solves an instruction-tuned scenario given a set of textual constraints and similar assumptions. So far so good, right? Except English isn't math, and our tools for learning them are markedly different. Being able to coax the correct answer out of ChatGPT is no more impressive than faithfully plagiarizing the correct answer from a textbook.

> the cases of intentional errors that enable teachers to tell if a student used a calculator

ChatGPT responses are expressive enough that any non-trivial response (eg. > 1 sentence) could be enough to tell if a student is using a chatbot or not.

I've yet to see any evidence that the Branch Davidians had committed crimes that the ATF had enough evidence for to effect arrests. Even if the ATF had had such evidence of such crimes, that didn't justify ninja-style wall scaling and entering. No-knock warrants are a disaster for everyone: for the innocent, for criminals, and for the police who serve them.

As for RR, the ATF solicited the crime, and it took them a lot of effort to get what's-his-name to actually commit that crime. That is just not OK!
>Is this an accounting trick to look profitable or is it normal and reasonable?

It seems normal and reasonable to me with their change in direction to making chips for others. Previously Intel (for the most part) needed to rapidly depreciate hardware and move to the next process node to stay competitive. Now they can continue running a process node far beyond what they would have historically to create a cheaper chip-line for third parties.

I don't think this is relatable in comparison. They weren't popular in relation to the errors of LLMs.

what's encouraging you to conceive of the build system and the language as separate things? I never understood why most people making new languages seem to want to have each of these be distinct—why not just define the build using the same language?
I've run into more issues with Gutenberg than any other editor, every time I am forced to use it, I want to just abandon WordPress. A very stupid thing I noticed the other day, let's say you have a list, and you want to inline bold and color the entire list. Guess what? You can't. You have to select every list item one by one. Why would anyone design something like that? The old WYSIWYG editor can do that in 5 seconds.

The way it also treats Headings, etc as just different blocks from the rest of the text is so annoying. It takes 2-3 clicks to do something you used to be able to do instantly. It feels so unfinished, you just shouldn't have to spend so much time doing very basic things. Very baffling considering it's been out for so long at this point.
Whatever it may end up being, I think it’s imperative that congress investigate this because of what you’re saying is true then this is not good for the American people to be led on like this.

Then we must adapt and rebuild the infrastructure. What's the alternative, that everyone just abandon London?

Climate scientists agree that if the world stopped all carbon emissions today, at the snap of a magical finger, the planet will continue to warm for the foreseeable future. It seems to me then that the correct path out is through, not backwards. And "through" involves building and rebuilding, using whatever energy sources are economical. By all means, bring renewables in that fold, but renewables alone are far from sufficient.

It's not just a matter of everyone driving Teslas instead of F-250s, or indeed even of everyone cramming into electric-powered city buses or walking instead of using automobiles. The primary industries are all still powered by vast amounts of fossil fuels: the huge mining trucks, farm tractors, and backhoes that produce the real things that real people need to consume to survive, have such high energy density requirements that there are no viable electric alternatives yet.

I'm not arguing in bad faith.

Yes they do. I'm arguing that now.

Of course that's how I'm using it.

One of the most important factors in changing laws and confronting oppressive forces is to create strong popular awareness and support for those opposing them. Among other things, this makes them far more risky and formidible as targets of opportunity for oppressors.

In this sense I hope very much that the cyberrights movement is maturing to recognise that technical means of fighting such oppression are, whilst necessary, not sufficient. EFF are showing an increased awareness of this (and to be fair, have been aware of this for a long time).

The explicit recognition of Alexandra Elbakyan, a personal hero to me, is not only richly deserved by a functionally useful step in fighting copyright overreach and publishing monopolies.
Ask HN: What's your best advice for finding an entry-level remote job? (2023)
Having wifi calling on your home carrier means you can use the data of a cheap international carrier while you're traveling to make calls with your home carrier and not incur roaming charges.

This is because your home carrier basically VPN's to your home carrier's network over whatever data connection it has, so it's just using the cheap international data off the second card to make a VOIP call.
Windows actually has some kind of native containerization but I believe it's based on virtualization and not an equivalent of namespaces on Linux. I'm not even sure if such a feature would make sense on Windows in the same way it does on Linux.

But that's my point. It seems from this thread people don't understand what docker is except that they can kinda use it like a VM. But it's fundamentally different.
Bard already does that. It shows products from Google Shopping when giving recommendations.
I’ve always assumed this, too. I am currently in Andorra and the biggest prepaid plan from Andorra Telecom (the only mobile operator) is 19€ for 3gb of data (and 60 minutes of talk, which I don’t need). It was simple to get using their website and an eSIM.

Just checked Airalo and they have 3gb for $10.50 usd! That’s like 9.50€ or something and Airalo always seems to have a 15% off coupon (maybe first order only?). They also have larger plans. I am going to switch over as soon as I run out of data on my Andorra Telecom plan.
I don't use this expression often, but I think it fits in this context. This article is pure grade A poppycock.

Are there any metrics to back this up? This bullshit has been spewed since 2014: chat/voice as a service-to-service protocol and has yet to actually materialize.

I agree that people don't like to talk to chatbots in general (cue the intentionally ambiguous click-baity title) but they won't have any problems talking to Alexa vs ChatGPT or other custom system if they're forced to. They will dislike or like all of them equally. Source? Trust me, bro. Just like the author of the article.

Let's not forget that the Alexa org has been losing billions per quarter and revenue never materialized from people ordering shit from Amazon. So... people also don't want to talk to that Chatbot and that chatbot may actually join its extinct brethren.
Much obliged, my dear sir. :)
Smart people solving "solved problems" over and over again is exactly how the tech industry progresses. Meanwhile other industries are stuck with processes from fifty years ago because "it has always been done this way", and anyone even suggesting the slightest bit of change is a heretic.
You can do this with composites too. You can even create materials with slightly negative CTEs
Declarations don't need `end function` because it's always clear what you're closing.

Statements need an `end if`, `end for` etc. because it lets you find your way in nested code. The rationale for the syntax explains it a bit: https://austral-lang.org/spec/spec.html#rationale-syntax

FWIW I will probably get rid of the `module is ... end module.` bit because it adds unnecessary nesting.
I find it funny that a side effect of ICE cars being so inefficient is that their range is much more predictable. If ~50% of your petrol turns into heat no matter what you do then using the AC doesn't make a lot of difference.
