They’re just movies… All morbid Disney fantasies of what relationships and sex are supposed to be - “luck” being the most toxic part of on-screen love. Relationships are built, not found. And as we age, and see older partners, if the right amount of work is put in, that maturity and experience translates to a better life together and better sex regardless if we’ve been together as teenagers or not.
FCC the regulator agency charged with regulating telecom companies once again fails to regulate telecom companies. Despite a trivial and permanent remedy beeing available, e.g. fine the telecom companies in significant excess of what they made from providing the robocalling companies with the services required to make the robocalls, they instead place a ineffectual and unenforceable fine on a couple of soon to be chapter 11 LLC. Yay for telecom lobbying....
Strangely tall yeah but at least I knew something was happening down there and was reminded later when there was completed downloads.

A few times today already I forgot that was up there and some downloads had completed. It's small and out of the way but then out of mind?

It's fresh and modern feeling but I suppose it's the automatic dismissal that throws me off.
That’s the estimated cost of developing a new drug and bringing it to market.

And GSK had ~$16 billion in _profit_ last year. It has been profitable for the past 15 years, usually in the $4b range.

They are choosing to not bring this product to market. They are also choosing to not allow another company bring it to market.
That is clearly the best business choice for them according to their accounting, but they aren’t limited in trying to do it.
No, the exact title is ‘Angry Tesla customers sue firm over “grossly” exaggerated EV range’

There’s a difference between “sued” and “committed fraud”.
If a city banned all manually driven cars and allowed only self driving cars, the number of car-related deaths would drop to almost nothing. Goods could also be transported more efficiently. The technology to achive this exists right now, L5 or not. The only thing stopping citites from doing this is the cost that inhabitants will have in connection with selling or switching our their car. And all the complaining. But lives would be saved, and the city would be safer and more efficient.
I think a Nobel is pretty much guaranteed at this point.

They'll make a ton of money either ways. Maybe not billionaire level, but they'll be venerated wherever they go, will be granted countless prizes, will sit on the boards of important companies, and have their pick of academic jobs - all of it entirely deserved, of course.
Respectfully, you don’t know what you’re talking about if you think GPS “isn’t impactful enough”.

Don’t fall into the trap of reacting with “meh” to everything. Maybe you just don’t know? Maybe you don’t realise how much modern life depends on say, the Haeber-Bosch process or the shipping container? “Oh it’s just a metal box”, a person who doesn’t understand it might say.
I don’t recall that being the case, but my memory could be faulty.

As I recall, the High Sierra Format - which served as the basis for ISO 9660 — was widely used prior to ISO 9660’s standardization and adoption.
When people make statements like this. I would like to know a few things: where was the temperature taken? at surface level? 1cm below the surface? 1m below the surface? 10m below the surface? 1-2m above the surface? because they are all different.

Then I want to know how the previous temp was determined that they compared it to. I'm sure they are not trying to lie to us but I'm certain they are wrong. The ocean is not warming.

Let's see.
Level 5 means it can do anything a human can.

My understanding is that Zig has all of the power and modernity of Rust, without the strictness and borrow checker. Unlike Rust, it also has powerful compile-time evaluation and custom allocators, and probably more improvements I'm not familiar with (in Rust you can effectively emulate custom allocators, but you have to rewrite every allocating structure to use them; or you can use nightly, but most third-party library and even some standard-library types don't support them).

I also heard someone say "Zig is to C what Rust is to C++". Which I interpret as, it's another maximum-performance modern language, but smaller than Rust; "smaller" meaning that it has less safety and also abstraction (no encapsulation [1]), but less requirements and complexity.

Particularly with games, many devs want to build a working prototype really fast and then iterate fast. They don't want to deal with the borrow checker especially if their code has a lot of complex lifetime rules (and the borrow checker is a real issue; it caused evanw to switch esbuild to Go [1]). In small scripts with niche uses, safety and architecture are a waste of effort, the script just has to be done and work (and the latter is only partly necessary, because the script may not even be fed enough inputs to cover edge cases). Plus, there are plenty of projects where custom allocation is especially important, and having every type support custom allocation is a big help vs. having to rewrite every type yourself or use `no_std` variants.

Web Environment Integrity API Implementing on Chrome Android and Android WebView
According to the implementation spotted by Techtsp (https://www.techtsp.com/2023/08/web-environment-integrity-android-webview.html), currently Android is the only platform supported for WEI. The implementation defines two classes—AndroidEnvironmentIntegrityService and AndroidEnvironmentIntegrityDataManager—responsible for handling the necessary identifiers for WEI. Designed to store key-pair identifiers "Environment Integrity Handles" (read attestations), along with calls to the Play Integrity Attester for Android.
The AndroidEnvironmentIntegrityService class includes methods for creating an instance of the service and retrieving the attestations. On the other hand, the AndroidEnvironmentIntegrityDataManager class interfaces with the storage system to manage these attestations.
I am building an on-premise annotation platform for medical image data (MVA.ai) where it is used for both backend and frontend (WASM). Really enjoy the language, with the key aspects being the low level control and performance, the build system and cross-compilation, comptime for generics, the easy integration of existing C libraries and the support for WASM. Manual memory management is sometimes a bit tedious, but you get used to it quite quickly. On the other hand, being able to use different allocators can even give you something like 'lifetimes'.
European cities found that shared space between pedestrians and vehicles reduced speeds and increased safety.

Carving up public spaces into those that are safe and those that can trivially injure or kill ruins the outdoors for so many.
Yes and you do this accidentally by plugging WAN cable into LAN port of the router, effectively bridging your interal devices with ISP, and if DHCP from ISP wins the race against your router, then your PC is on global address with no firewall.

True story!

Things like Homenet that tried to fix this did not go anywhere
You can't get CT scans very often, because they hit you with large doses of ionizing radiation. Ultrasounds are low-resolution spotlights; you shine them at a particular spot to diagnose something specific.

With this you could get an MRI at your annual checkup. You could diagnose all number of diseases like that, not to mention 95% of cancers. Each year your scan is automatically compared to the previous year, and any sudden changes in morphology can be biopsied. The learning would be revolutionary for medical science as well- right now we have so little data on what kinds of benign growths people have that our best method for figuring out if a mass is a problem is asking if there are any other symptoms. Not to mention entirely new kinds of medical devices would be possible, eg using SQUIDs.

Ground-imaging MRI would also be revolutionized. Archeology, paleontology, geology, mapping resources and finding minerals would experience a quantum leap. You would be able to drive a car through the desert and spot fossils or faults or mineral signatures.

Space travel would become essentially free with the use of launch loops. Which would also make long-distance travel incredibly cheap and practically pollution-free. You would need electricity alone to reach low earth orbit, or to accelerate planes to multiples of the speed of sound.

Grid-level storage, peaker plants and load-following would become nearly obsolete. Superconducting catenaries would connect every nation on earth. Normally plants have to turn off when everyone goes to sleep; now factories in China can be powered by US fission. Canadian homes could be kept warm by Australian solar. HVDC interlinks would be obsolete. We might eventually transition away from AC power entirely.

CPUs could be anywhere from 10% to 50% more efficient. GPUs even more so. Fires, particularly house fires would become less common as wires simply stop conducting when they are overloaded.
Passports are not a good invention. They are a dystopian evil we grew to take for granted and even see as something that exists for our own benefit.
Before WWI there were no passports and no need for them. Those were Good Old Days that are not coming back. It's weird to see some people seeing some kind of benefit in them.
Of course American scammers wouldn't be regularly targetting Europe; European scammers would be targetting Europe.
The state of the art for VTOL right now is around 100-150 miles with much lower density batteries. The most efficient ones actually have wings and transition to flying like a regular plane. Larger batteries will of course help and they are actually hitting the market this year at around 500wh/kg. Bigger batteries will follow in a few years. The future is now.
Yes, quite a few companies sell them.

Interesting case and persons! Netflix already ordered a docuseries [1] and I guess Hollywood could pick that up. Imagine pulling the coup where any bank robbers get envious (by value stolen). But now you sit on a massive pile of crypto that you are unable to convert it into real money.

I'm not sure how relevant that argument is.

You could have said the same thing 40 years ago.
Personally, I'd prefer a partner who has not been overly promiscuous, because I myself have not.

It affects me in multiple ways, for one, I'm looking for long-term stability, and while I don't think there's anything morally wrong with having many partners, it suggests there is something about that person that does not align with that.

I don't believe people change very much, I believe people think they change very much.

The most chaotic people I know are the ones who "have finally gotten to the right place in their life" all the fucking time.. They're the people who will buy a sweater and declare with a relaxed breath how now their life is finally complete and they wish for nothing further.

From that perspective, I don't believe a person with a large amount of previous partners have "finally found the right one", because, that's what they said the last N times.

Again, absolutely nothing wrong with having many partners, but it's my belief that the many-partner-people are more well suited for other many-partner-people than with me personally.
Still my point is right, NAT traversal hacking is not an issue and is complicated enough to not be practical.

Residential off the shelf routers don’t have firewall for incoming traffic. For business use you always put hardware firewall behind ISP router, I don’t have firewall at home.

There are plenty of issues you're not marginally informed and actively acting on. You're not judging yourself poorly for being uninformed and non-proactive on those topics, specifically because you're not aware or interested in them.

You can currently argue that the topics you're marginally informed are "more important" than the ones you're not, but how would you honestly know? Can it be objectivelly substantiated?

If you just see what happens in reality, it is that different people is focusing on different issues, oftentimes pushing for different or even opposing goals, and everybody believing their focus is more important than the others.

Also, you get a lot of people without any focus outside their physical scope, living perfectly fulfilling lives, which are the ones your parent poster refers as the "victims" being "blamed".
Auto industry? People on HN really like to blame industry for everything.

While I fully 100% support car-centric development and I think we just need to fix emissions like we fixed pollution, technologically - via massive renewables/nuclear build-out and electric cars - and really dislike governments, I have to give credit where it's due. The car-centric development was all its fault (or was all to its credit). Businesses were building rail lines between cities, and tram lines in the cities around which the new neighborhoods developed (even in smaller cities, like Seattle). Then, the government built the highway system (and instituted zoning laws, for less-palatable reasons). Railroads are now marginal for passenger transport and tram lines have gone out of business. Woops!
Yes, because this is partly why everyone keeps working so hard to produce a revolutionary technology. This is also the way it works with drugs, we have just been through a pandemic and a lot of people made a ton of money over their inventions, rightly so.
Everything works. Yes there is some fiddling (think getting things to work on Ubuntu 5 years ago) but things work.

Edit: yes your specific questions (audio, audio autosense, etc.) work.
> superconducting islands in a non-conducting matrix.

Can somebody who read the article and is knowledgeable in the subject please re-assure me this doesn't mean the material only forms minute super-conducting islands and that we can make wires out of this material in the future?

Once-upon-a-time dropbox had a built in screenshot tool that could upload to your public directory.

It was always a pain because I was forever having to determine which of onedrive or dropbox had taken print screen handling away from my preferred screenshot tool (at the time, greenshot, now ShareX)
Because they didn't have gigantic subscription pop-ups.
They had no advance warning of what to expect:

The moderators say they weren’t adequately warned about the brutality of some of the text and images they would be tasked with reviewing, and were offered no or inadequate psychological support.

As noted above and below, it wasn't just text:

The 51 moderators in Nairobi working on Sama’s OpenAI account were tasked with reviewing texts, and some images, many depicting graphic scenes of violence, self-harm, murder, rape, necrophilia, child abuse, bestiality and incest, the petitioners say.

> because I truly cannot imagine

You're not alone, there's likely a higher than normal percentage of HN'rs that have difficulty imagining how other people react and feel.
You’re way off on your comparisons. Routers that shipped with WPA3 had an IPv6 setting of “enable ipv6” and nothing else. Comparing it to a bygone era of no encryption is dumb.
>I think this makes it even more valuable, not less.

put it this way: I have the expenses and know how to simply have 2 native platforms if I need it. If I need to emulate something but don't feel like spinning a second boot, it's usually for a few niche programs I need very occasionally. Otherwise, I can just get that OS ready.

That's how I see the Steam Deck. I simply have a portable windows machine that has Steam on it, so I don't see the incremental value of having these games run through Proton while having a linux machine. Because I have "running windows games" covered. If it was running Linux games natively, I may in fact buy it simply to help say to developers that I want more native games on Linux. But if devs just keep focusing on Windows, I have that set already.

And To be honest I'm not a huge fan of the form factor nor screen to begin with, so it'd be a bigger compromise choosing to play on a Steam Deck than if I could choose other machines.
> superconductivity is (by convention) less than 10^-11,

Ah, so you're saying that superconductivity is not actual zero resistance, but something close to it, and in fact only a factor of 1000x less resistive than the best conductor?

If that is so, this is something that I had previously thought would make a lot more sense to me.

But in that case it's not intuitive to me how SMES is possible with a 0% discharge rate. Shouldn't a significant fraction of the electrons looping around the coils be lost after many loops? (I know very little about electricity, as you can probably tell, never mind superconductors).
It's good (great, even, for a free book) but it needs an editor.
I'm honestly not sure whether 1, 3 or 6 is most likely to be fundamentally impossible.
Anything that an electric pill shaver can't fix?
Isn't that why Linux surpasses Mac on Steam gamers because of the Steam Deck? It's the same difference.
If the material were an unshielded wire, spool it, and send a current through it and measure if the V/I/W drops off as you unspool it?
Eh, there is also plenty of indication this may not happen. :)

- Many of the non-core++ libraries are considered done

- Many popular and upcoming projects have zero macros: Decimal, Jason, Telemetry, Mint, Finch, Req, etc

- All machine learning projects have either zero macros (Axon, EXLA, Bumblebee) or the macro layer is built on top of the functional API (Nx and Explorer)

- Phoenix LiveView, which is the most recent project from the Phoenix team, is very minimal on the use of macros

- Most of the Phoenix sub-projects have zero-macros: phoenix_pubsub, phoenix_html, phoenix_ecto, esbuild/tailwind, etc

I mentioned this in another comment but in my opinion Phoenix is low on the use macros. They are present in the endpoint+router but then you are working with functions. I speculate the reason why they stand out is because they are the entry-point of your code. But even then the socket API in the endpoint is being replaced by a functional API thanks to contributions from Mat Trudel and the new verified routes are way less magic than the previous route helpers.

Because GPUs are more than just memory, and in regards to your memory comment, unified memory is not the same as having a dedicated.

And when the GPUs no longer can keep up, one doesn't need to throw away the whole computer.
Same here. In for 10 years now. Same issues. I am running a homestead now and the manual work and seeing things developing makes me happy. Sure, time is even less than before and sometimes it is exhausting, but the weekends give something visible back and it is much more real than the abstract work we usually do. Good luck!
You're absolutely right. I was wrong to oversimplify and claim that this is everyone's experience. I do think that it is the experience of many people who don't have families or support structures or any economic prospects. I completely agree that better education about the different levels of harm of different substances is incredibly important and lacking. I will say that while I don't know the stats on this, in the communities I am in meth has been at least as destructive for people as heroin.
> 1) Fully decoding the cellular mechanism of cells allowing for the curing of any disease, repairing any genetic disorder.

no way, no how. there is every reason to believe that cells are irreducibly complex. we can understand parts in isolation, yes, but a full model of the cell (however that would look) is almost certainly beyond science and even if you had that good luck measuring the full state of a cell without destroying it
> The price is high, but is the performance worth it?

The numbers reflect Mac revenue down -24.2% YoY to date; if it's worth it, the market certainly hasn't voted with their wallets yet.
As someone who used C as main language, I've switched to zig. It's the only language that tries to be "better C", and not another C++. Comptime being like Nim where it's not entirely own language is also plus. I'd say it excels at general purpose system programming, and especially if you need to work with memory in detailed way (rust makes this very annoying and hard).
You are just repeating the same incredibly boring 'Tesla fanboy' things that Joe Rogan likes to say every now and then to create the illusion he's smart, up to date and edgy, which is the exact reason you don't sound smart at all.
I don't know about "daily" right now (I've had to take a break due to obligations), but I'm working on a modern implementation of the Self programming language with actor capabilities: https://github.com/sin-ack/zigself

It's nowhere near usable yet, but Zig has been a joy to work with for over a year, and I can definitely see myself using it for a big piece of software.
Divorce rates were lower "back in the day" because women had far less options.

Maybe we just aren’t all meant to find that one person and stay with them until we die.

Maybe, just maybe, we were meant to have a community to find meaning in beyond to the communities of family and work.

Blasphemous thoughts for the formerly puritanical US, but worth considering nonetheless.
They aren't exploiting global monopolies and oligopolies either, forcing technologies down people's throat that will cement and further expand their already overly dominant position. For the most part they aren't pushing ostensibly benign tools that lure and capture people in their web (i.e. Google Web literally).
