Thermal cameras are subject to tight ITAR restrictions, which would tend to restrict their use in consumer products. I'd expect 1080p thermal cameras are a thing, if you have the "need" and can comply with all of the restrictions.

Disclaimer: this is not a defense of Elon Musk, it is a defense of heterodoxy

Who is the highest profile heterodox person you can think of who isn't a "supervillain"? You might conclude, based on that, that heterodoxy is villainous behavior.

Or, alternatively, you might conclude that you are being manipulated.
The problem is it works badly. You have to open the app which has to load and then you can get access to your key. But if you’re on an elevator then you might not have service and the app won’t load and then you can’t get to your key to use the elevator. Or worse if you don’t have great service in the corridor.

It needs to work in a way where the key is saved to your phone so it can be accessed quickly and offline.
Your opinion is valid, however I'm currently on a plane heading there, likely a third of the passengers won't be able to check into their hotel. Same with dozens of planes. Kinda sucks for them.
You might only ("only") get ~7 years of OS updates. A bit of a shame if the hardware is still OK. My 2016 model is abandoned for macOS Ventura and will probably only get macOS security patches through next year. I'd probably pay extra for a macOS LTS that actually had 10 years of support. ;-)

I expect a lot of machines will be orphaned when macOS switches to ARM-only.

Does anyone else remember how the Internet died that day?

There was so much traffic from everyone trying to check the news that every major news site went practically offline.

The only way to find out what was happening was to find a TV. Lucky I was working with a friend to install a touch-screen PC in his car. We'd added a TV tuner to the system too. We raced to the underground car park and pulled the car out onto the street and sat there watching the news unfold on his 7" widescreen.
"Despite recurring safety problems, these companies had no problems receiving these permits, which critics have condemned."

So the expectation is that there be no safety problems, because taxis never have safety problems?
It's hard to imagine the market shifting entirely to one side when it's between a quality (if pricey and controlling) product and a spyware platform that exists solely to push ads. Manufacturers allowing themselves to get fully tied to becoming Google subcontractors has absolutely destroyed them.

>What did I expect? The "warez = trojan" thing is mainly corporate propaganda. Commercial products are just as likely to contain malware.

How do you define "malware"? I'm quite sure most commercial products don't contain embedded trojans that steal your browsers passwords, join a spamming operation or encrypt your disk. For pirated software it absolutely does happen (one easy way to start a botnet is to upload something like "BaldursGate3Installer.exe" and wait for careless gamers).
Recapture of the signal was always coming but I did somehow think they'd at least try to wrap it up in some glitter to make it consumer attractive. A long buffer delay for the FEC or whatever is causing delay means "live" ain't live and you may well be experiencing differential delay to other playback within hearing or viewing distance. So thats sports bar with 3 TVs? same game, different time delay from origin (even if only slight)
Ask HN: Best place to sell old computers, Commodore PET e.g.
I have a few machines that I'd like to sell, realized that I'm never going to get around to refurbishing them, replacing the electrolytic caps, etc. Searches mostly return eBay sellers, when I look for current prices.

But it seems like I'm missing something. Is there such a thing as an online antique computer marketplace, the equivalent of the M.I.T. Flea Market, maybe ? I'd like to be more confident in the prices I'm putting on them, and it seems like eBay is the only thing being promoted by the search results. I'm near Boston, btw.

The other day I made an incorrect statement about who played in the Superbowl in 1984, it turned up the game I was thinking of was the 1986 Superbowl and somebody corrected me.

Would you call that a “hallucination” or just not remembering right?

If I were going to get perfect accuracy for something I write I’d have to look everything up and I could prove it was the sources that were wrong and not me if I cited them. Would an A.I. really be any different?

I'm sorry—30 mmHg?

Maybe I am misunderstanding, or there is something wrong with my own knowledge, but "30 mmHg" added to systolic seems extremely high.

I am currently an EMT-B student here in the United States, and taking vital signs like blood pressure is our bread and butter. We practice it several times a week, on different people with different body types and different blood pressure baselines. Anything more than ±4 mmHg in a manual reading is terrible accuracy, and anything like +30 mmHg probably comes from someone who doesn't know how to use the equipment.

But again, maybe there is something I am missing. If there is I'd love to be educated and hear about it!

LLMs make writing code easier, but they don't make it unnecessary. "No-code" is mostly small consumer apps and POCs, but "low-code" is a big industry based on platform building. Much of the work of building and maintaining an enterprise system is (a)data model definition (b) UI/UX construction and (c) workflows. Low code platforms specialise in doing this in a structured, fast and maintainable way without code. LLMs are great but they aren't a magic bullet. Enterprise grade development requires a lot of structure and LLMs don't provide that. Low code provides a pre built, well documented structure, enabling mediocre developers like me to build reliable, professional grade enterprise apps.
Surely that fails for e.g. a?a?a?. I'd imagine you could do some sort of simplification first though to avoid this redundancy.

One possible application: If an input to a function parameter must match a certain regex, and the output of a function produces results matching another regex, we can know if the functions are compatible: if the intersection of regular expressions is empty, then you cannot connect one function to the other.

Combined with the fact the regular expressions can be used not only on strings but more generally (e.g. for JSON schema validation [1]), this could be a possible implementation of static checks, similar to "design by contract".

I heard about that in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI5cu3G5oXk

I may not remember it correctly, but I think the two original creators of the site ran out of money and were recommended to a group of investors who happened to be Scientologists.
I was also curious. Wikipedia addresses the question:

> The theory was popular in the 1970s and 1980s, when it was used as a heuristic device, but lost importance in the early 1990s, when it was criticized by several empirical studies.[5][6] A life-history paradigm has replaced the r/K selection paradigm, but continues to incorporate its important themes as a subset of life history theory.[7] Some scientists now prefer to use the terms fast versus slow life history as a replacement for, respectively, r versus K reproductive strategy.[8]
> Running Python securely on a local machine is a really hard problem. We treat all Python code in the workbook as untrusted, so we execute it in a hypervisor-isolated container on Azure that does not have any outbound network access.

I see we've moved on from "we have to lock down computers against the user with no way to circumvent it because otherwise the user might install a virus" to "it's really hard to set this up locally, so we did it on a server, which is special and magical and things are easier there than on user PCs where containers do not work."

I eagerly await "Font rendering is a really hard problem. To assure perfect results, all document text and monitor configuration data is sent to Azure, where we can take advantage of the most up-to-date rendering algorithms, reliable GPUs, and updated font files, to efficiently produce .png files that the user's machine displays."
Python is also more palatable to professional developers than VB ever was.

> There would be no DNS configuration at all, all local machines would use anycast DNS for the services and a well known server for Internet addresses.

Ok, lets say I have a web server - www.example.com running on 192.168.0.100:80/2001:db8::::::100 port 80 - and a game server - game.example.com running on 192.168.0.99:27015/2001:db8::::::99 port 27015. The IPv4 DNS A records point to a CNAME record of server.example.com, which has an A record for an IPv4 addrss which then forwards via NAT to the above. The IPv6 AAAA records point directly to the above addresses and go via a transparent firewall (which likely does router advertisement).

How do I handle an address change when I change ISPs here?

For IPv4 it's very simple - I update the CNAME record and there's no further configuration required - my NAT works and traffic flows. Assumedly I could automate this simply with a DDNS client my router likely already has built in.

For IPv6, I presume I need to look up all the machines (likely via logging into them as DHCPv6 doesn't appear the norm), then go through an update all records? I understand a static suffix may help on inferring the new address, but surely I either have lots of manual updating to do now or need to run a DDNS client per machine?

I have tried running a dual stack, but every time I try it seems to be significantly more steps and complexity than IPv4, but maybe I'm missing something.

I don't see anything there about it except that he is one. Is there a story I'm missing? To someone who doesn't believe in any religion, it doesn't make sense that his should be called out and not someone else's mainstream but equally supernatural religion.

I think that undersells what HyperCard could do. It wasn't just a database or a wiki like Notion; it had some fairly powerful scripting capabilities, and was often used for nonlinear interactive content. (Myst was a HyperCard stack, for example!)
That's why they were banned back when I took the tests. Have they loosened the restrictions on the n-spire?

The standard back in the early 2010s was still definitely TI-84 being about the most powerful calculator you could use for most tests that mattered. Those calculators are intentionally kept slow by TI because of these requirements.

My impression of the n-spire was that it had always been marketed much more towards professionals. The first one I saw in person was at an electrical engineering internship where my boss had just bought one.

I used to think so too, but I have a ton of experience with AppleScript and its JavaScript counterpart and they’re still solid. JXA’s Objective-C bridge is a convenient way to access macOS APIs in a scripting language.

One might think the introduction of Shortcuts would be the best time to retire AppleScript, yet Apple made it possible to run shortcuts via AppleScript and one of the standard tasks allows you to run AppleScript from within.

I'm curious with what you are referring to with respect to CPUC and their net metering decision. I googled it and saw that they recently went away from net metering.

Austin, TX is one of the first locales (if not the first) that used a "Value of Solar" metric instead of net metering. I may hate this from a personal perspective as someone who wants to put up solar panels on my house, but I also acknowledge that net metering fundamentally doesn't make sense and is unfair.

That is, a utility can only survive of it buys electricity at wholesale rates and sells it at retail rates. Net metering is essentially having the utility buy power at retail rates. There are tons of costs with maintaining the grid beyond just the cost of power, and it wouldn't make sense for a customer to get the benefit of that grid hookup and pay nothing if they're "net 0".
Your quote implies neither of those things.

Calling an independent set of libraries in an isolated space an entire OS is a bit of a stretch. Containers generally don't contain an init system and a bunch of services (sure, they technically can and some do), but there's generally much less running than an entire OS.

MechE here. The way strain gauges work is with a long conductive trace that loops back on itself like a snake, or a radiator. This creates a conductive line that passes back and forth many times along the direction you want to measure strain in.

When the surface that the gauge is attached to flexes, the PCB itself actually stretches and shrinks by a very small amount, on the order of a thousandth of a percent. This causes the long conductive trace to get slightly longer, which measurably increases its resistance.

The state of Julia (Juliacon 2023) [video]
VB and the Web: The VB model for rendering Web pages was Active Server Pages and Server side rendering. Very similar to Java Server Pages. Which was still better than PHP but the IDE did not have a community version and php was easier to get started and was being taught in college curriculum.

IE having so much browser market also killed anything MS because they always tried to create their own standards which nobody wanted to follow. The client side was so difficult to script with having to test which browser and accomodate quirks mode. Another unforced error. Corporate adopters are still trying sunset critical apps which only run in IE or Edge with IE mode turned on.
HTML, CSS and JS are not the best pieces of technology, otherwise there would not have been a whole industry of tools that allowed you not to touch them with a ten-foot pole. But we are stuck with them at least for a while.

I doubt that it's strictly true seeing how quickly Ukraine was replacing their transformers after Russia deliberately targeted them. As far as I can tell it was a strain on the global supply, but evidently not insurmountable.
You were asking for a machine to wash dishes in an hour with a dishwasher available between 2010 and 2020. This machine clearly fits that bill. Now you want something that is also available now (but not from a store only from the brand's website), and it needs to use an identical cleaning cycle to the normal mode.

You've moved the goalposts so far they're onto an entirely different field here.

You raise many questions that took 2 units to cover in law school. If you want quick answers you can read the judgement and potentially future judgments if this is appealed.

Some of those questions have no answers. Courts don't answer hypotheticals. Will have to wait for something to come up and be ruled on. It's common for things to never be ruled on. For example when I studied this, it was unknown whether TV formats like the Bachelor or MasterChef had copyright. No one tested it and everyone just licensed it.

Not talking about the actual shows but the concept of the franchise. For example if you wanted to go make the Bachelor in Antarctica.
All true, although I would quibble with:

I’m sick of this dumb anti-SDC narrative that all the local news media is pushing. I get it, big tech bad, change scary, controversy good for clicks and ad impressions.

Honestly fuck these journalists, this is life saving technology and if they hold us back because they can’t bully local government into making it easier for them to bully SDC, they have blood on their hands.
In high school I got a gig rebuilding a pre 2000 Access DB + VBA front end in office 2003ish due to some kind of incompatibility that was preventing them from upgrading their PC's.
