That was certainly my experience when going to university. They were phasing in digital classes of sorts, so pressured lecturers to use PowerPoint or similar. I recalled almost nothing from those lectures, as it was impossible to take notes and listen at the same time. And without taking notes I'd forget.

The blackboard ones though, with carefully prepared notes by the lecturer... I'd write it all down, and would hardly ever had to look at them again as it stuck right away. However, I did have to write it down.
Reaction: Would the CIA actually offer money to mere analysts for anything like that? Vs., say, "shut up and tow the company line".

Reaction II: The Congressional Committees which the whistleblower is talking to appear to be from the U.S. House of Representatives. So they might fairly sane & legit...or they might be so far down the QAnon / Pizzagate / Stolen Election rabbit hole that Amish brain control laser satellites are secretly controlling the United Nations.

Oh I have 6. That's the minimum I need to have any hope of having one when I need it (in the car, in the home office, in the office-office, in the backpack, etc).

(I can't "leave it connected to headphones" as my iPhone is not the only device I own; I have multiple headphones and headsets ; and I move myself and my iPhone quite a bit. The nice thing about 3.5 was universal and ubiquitous. Every headphone or headset worked with every phone tablet and music device. Lightning without 3.5mm is just a constant pain in my keister :)

But, the context of this sub-thread as I understood it, is - if they discontinue all the ports completely / go wireless, one could only use bluetooth headphones. And that's the suck because:

1. I already have a number of very nice headphones I planed to last me a lifetime

2. Bluetooth headphones have built-in obsolescence (battery, new protocols, etc)

3. Lag! I like to play synthesizers / make music on computers and tablets. Or play games with Kishi. Bluetooth is a pain for such use cases.

etc :-/

> Or do you think if Microsoft had been able to maintain IE dominance (which it kinda did until Chrome anyway) the internet would have ended up being shaped significantly differently?

The IE engine was quirky, and it was common for webdevs to only target IE. I think there was a real danger that a large portion of the web was going to be IE only, vendor locking everyone.

I think ultimately iPhone/Android did as much to break this as Google Chrome did, as all the eyeballs went to from desktops/laptops to smartphones. Google Chrome was released after the iPhone.
and everyone who made add-in cards had to add jumpers so that they could choose I/O and interrupt addresses that didn't collide, it was a nightmare - PCI (and Nubus before it) solved those problems with forms of geographical addressing, that required meta-data somewhat equivalent to device trees.

RISC-V cores start their physical DRAM addresses at different addresses, some at 0, some at an offset close to 0, some way high. Some embedded systems might have SRAM at one address and DRAM at another - any device addresses have to work around that - if you hard code the UART address then you force people to choose where their memory blocks live, it likely also forces the address range in which other embedded devices live (interrupt controllers, timers etc). RISC-V specs define what the various registers look like, but not where they are (other than offsets wrt other registers of the same type).

Multi-vendor architectural specs like RISC-V are a careful balance between making sure that things work and leaving the design space free for innovation - RISC-V doesn't carry a lot of baggage from previous systems which is a great thing

> It sounds like you're unaware of why SSO is considered a security feature

Technically it's an anti feature...

The "feature" you are talking about is really identity management not sign on (which, btw, users have different identites, outside of the scope of a single company).

At its core it's just a delete function for a username. Putting that in a script with http access should be enough (and not put behind a ridiculous price tag).

Separate services otherwise are enough, no need for SSO.

Actually I wasn’t aware that you can still get batteries officially replaced on older devices, it looks like they can go back as far as a 5S. I just assumed they cut off battery service once they stop updating iOS on a model.
Maybe a single person can't make a Triple-A game engine. That's not a problem, because a single person can't make anything else needed for a Triple-A game, either.

Photorealistic art assets? Voice acting from name actors? Really crappy hackneyed plots which fall to pieces under the slightest scrutiny? I think Bethesda actually has a patent on that. Lootbox mechanics which are a couple iffy election cycles away from a Senate subcommittee hearing? None of that is coming out of a bedroom developer. Writing a simple engine for a simple indie game with the kinds of art and mechanics a single person or small unfunded team can accomplish, however, is a lot more feasible.

I'm not familiar with the case law, but e.g.

In fact I doubt there's fully relevant case law, as I think the case would be that the trained model is the recording device, and it could be demonstrated that verbatim strings from presumed confidential communications are regurgitated by the model when appropriately prompted.

Mighty Buildings raises $52M to build 3D-printed prefab homes
It sold a single digit percentage of total iPhones the quarter after the 12 series dropped, which is... millions of units. Not to mention the 2020 SE came out a few months prior to the 12 lineup's announcement, so a lot of people who wanted a small phone had just got one.

The idea that nobody bought it isn't true. It sold under Apple's expectations, but if they set their expectations correctly and didn't cannibalize a large portion of potential buyers a few months before announcing it, I think it could work.

The real story here is that they don't have to make them because people will buy whatever is available. When my 13 mini is getting old, I'll buy a standard size phone because it's all I can do.
I think Flying Goose is decent flavor-wise - but it lacks a lot of heat in comparison, and thus doesn't work so well (for me) as a substitute.

Hands-On With the New iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro Models
How did you deal with the 'black start' scenario where you need to bring up the harvester after it is first assembled? Did it require a jump start with an external energy source or did it auto start? And did you use Silicon or something more exotic?
Gmail is not just email. It is all the space they give you so you don't have to worry about emptying inboxes. It is the internal search so you can find an email from 5 years ago. It is labels. It is a mobile app that works smoothly, without any surprises. It is being able to give my parents that are not tech savy, something that works for them, without needing me to help them. It is even being able to set up the google inactive account manager to DO give access to my brother in case something happens to me, so my family can respecfully access my memories when I'm gone.

This is not easy.

Weird to see the notion of taking the documents you want to publish and saving them as documents be called "crazy". Publishing a blog post is just document preparation—you know, desktop publishing.

Excel keeps all the bugs for backwards compatibility. So the sheets made years ago still provide same results.
In few cases the depreciated some functions -> the old ones still work, but are relatively hidden and the users are encouraged to use the new ones.

They probably should do the same with the statistical functions that supposedly have problems due to rounding. But that cannot be fixed - precision is up to 15 digits.

Also if you wanted an article that talks on Excel precision, you can start with the wikipedia page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in_Microsoft...

Excel has many problems, but you linking to few website that supposedly prove that "Excel bad" - but at the same time - those exiles simply dont work, is somehow very funny.

The state of the current extraction-based economy is such that you have to differentiate Apple's greed (less cutting edge usually, costs more) vs Google's greed (wants to track you all the time).

Why does CIA care so much about their conclusion?
Bluetooth audio was awful for a long time, and not a serious replacement for wired headphones until very recently. It's clear that companies remove the jack to simplify manufacturing and cut costs, but at least BT headphones are usable nowadays. So as much as I disliked the trend when Apple started it, I'm not as annoyed by it anymore. Save for the hassle of BT pairing, which can sometimes be wonky, but this isn't an issue on Apple devices, AFAIK.
> On the other hand, apps like WhatsApp won’t work at all without access to the phone user’s contacts list,

I don't think that's true. Users could be allowed to enter addresses individuality or ideally, when apps ask for permissions to a person's contacts phones could allow users to select what the app can and cannot see (only certain contacts, or phone numbers but not email addresses, etc)

There are ways phones and apps could handle contact data while preserving privacy, but nobody is interested in helping people keep their data private. Phones are designed to leak your data like a sieve and apps are designed to collect every scrap of data they can get their hands on.
This is a good point people often miss. It's not that houses are more expensive today in (hrs worked / square foot) people just work more for a larger house.

What does similar specs mean? Just looking at cpu for the first set of results I found[1], one has to go back to the iPhone 11 (released 2019) to find one performing worse than a non-iPhone. Results are closer for multicore and maybe the comparison/benchmark I found was bad for one reason or another, or maybe you mean other specs like the size/weight or cameras.

No, it is not. According to the spec, all C-C cables transfer data, even if only at USB 2.0 speeds. It is not the spec's fault that some cheap knockoff brands violate the spec to save a few pennies.
One can easily get around this by encrypting all their emails on their local devices before sending. I encourage everyone to use up as much of Google's infrastructure as possible with data that is useless to them.

Nvidia is amazing at changing course quickly.

I joined 17 years ago to work for "a startup within the company". We were ramping up our group fast to design a product for an new market. 4 months later, Jensen sees that product at CES. Ours would be only be ready 2 years after that. The next Monday, he joined our weekly meeting and announced that our group was cancelled immediately and we'd be spread to existing BUs the next day. His words at that meeting: "Every morning when I wake up, I look in the mirror and check if the core assumptions on which I based my decisions are still valid. If not, I make the change immediately."

So refreshing when you've come from a company where everyone knew a project was doomed, but nobody had the guts to pull the plug for months.

Same thing happened a year later: we had a chip that was ready to tape out. That project was canceled on January 10th, 2007, because something happened the day before.

HN often confuses $300k for low-end-of-normal for early-career US software devs in general, when it’s above most seniors and leads at most employers. You don’t hit that territory until you’re a manager-of-tech-managers, outside the smallish third hump of the trimodal dev compensation graph.

My pay’s almost 3x median household income in my medium-sized US city, but is pathetic compared to what I see thrown around regularly as examples of lowish pay on HN.
(GitLab employee but familiar with this because I use it personally as well)

You can always connect your own runners to GitLab, whether SaaS or self-hosted, and whether free/CE or premium/ultimate/EE. GitLab SaaS also comes with free use of the central runners up to a quota. I'm not sure about the history here but as far as I know this has always been the case.
Correct, but it hasn't been upgraded in over a decade. It no longer produces apps that are consistent with Microsoft's own the way it was until Windows 7.

Most USB-C devices really only support DisplayPort for video output.

People have a hard enough time not-posting this repetitive thread invariant so you can imagine how realistic 'stop using the email service you are using' is.
That’s not totally true either. First, it varies quite a bit on jurisdiction (but let’s say U.S.). Second, the lack of model release when it would be required does not mean the model suddenly owns the photograph, it rather just restricts how the owner may use it. Thirdly, in many U.S. states, a model release may only be needed when the photograph is used in promotion of a product, or if it was not taken in public.

IANAL
