This is the best take. Edge is a really good browser.

It could use better privacy protection but it seems Microsoft & Bing want to make money off ads more than protect users privacy.

It has really good reader mode & read aloud features. I prefer it over Chrome. Firefox, Brave & other browsers have features that make them the right tool for the right job in other areas.

Microsoft is killing their good will & I question what they're getting for it. They're also disrespecting their employees who've put in work to make Edge a great browser.
Exactly right! This belief system is so unbelievably appalling to secular folks that they literally cannot believe it. But this is what huge numbers of Americans, and a very powerful political constituency actually believe.
If you removed from a complex program any feature that was used by less than 2% of the users the program would be much smaller and simpler. However you also lose each 2%. In many cases every user uses a different subset of what your program does, and so the end result is no users at all because your program is useless.
It isn’t changing. Look at foreign reserve holdings for the US since the 90s and you’ll see it’s decreased by a total of 2% and is still over 2/3s of all of it. What happened was that during the run-up to Covid the US dollar spiked to nearly 3/4 of all global reserves and has since dipped back down to normal levels.
We had a viewing party for the premiere. To be honest, we were more looking forward to Bruce Campbell’s “Adventures of Brisco County, Jr”, which premiered just before the “X-Files” (and is now sadly forgotten).

The “X-Files” hooked us right from the start. The only show that even came close to that first episode was “Lost” many years later. Most first season episodes were strong, with some downright classics, and the show was captivating from the beginning. Helps that the two leads were well cast and the writing was way better than the typical genre series.

(Two of the X-Files writers went off to showrun the criminally underrated “Space: Above and Beyond”, too. Without the success of X-Files, we wouldn’t have gotten that.)

Sure your linear regression example is great, and it's an example of how 'hallucination' in models can be good. Imagine if the only prediction algorithms had to fit every point in noisy data, it would look like either some overfitted thing like an ugly high order polynomial that goes through every point or just a database of every x y pair in the training set. Neither of those ones hallucinate if you ask the data from the training set. But for most purposes they wouldn't be as useful as a fitted linear regression, which 'hallucinates' y values even if you give it exact x from the training set. Of course if you just want to memorize and repeat back the training set then just a database is the best way!
Or you can emulate the POTS network: two wires with 24-48VDC present.

> We've had machines wake up in bags so when later needed they have near flat batteries and are nice & toasty

I've seen a hypothesis for this relatively common issue, which is: laptop goes to sleep while connected to charger, then charger is unplugged but the laptop still believes it gets charged and starts downloading OS updates, emptying the battery and almost overheating in a bag.

I don't have a Windows laptop to test it myself, though.
Should API access keys be stored in plain text such that they can easily be recovered from backups or clones to data warehouses?

Best practice would be to store such keys in an encrypted state, to prevent such breaches from non-production datasource access, or _even_ direct production database access.
That site is ran by a Brave employee[0]. The author claims that there's no COI, but one ought to be suspicious if Brave passes almost every single test barring the ones that no browser can pass.

Yeah, back in the nineties, as a teenager, I would consider it harmless entertainment. While watching the new seasons or revisiting the old episodes, knowing that there are people who actually believe even crazier things gives me a very uneasy feeling...
No. Flash memory loses its data after just a few years unless regularly scrubbed an re-written (which in turn burns through your write cycles).

It's worth mentioning that HDMI encoder chips are actually quite difficult to get hold of as a hobbyist; the HDMI association prohibits their sale to anybody who has not signed the relevant NDAs, paid membership fees and whatnot. The project shown here gets around this by using a freely available DVI encoder chip instead, which works fine (the HDMI specification mandates backwards compatibility with DVI) but lacks support for a number of HDMI-only features such as audio and higher resolutions.

The only HDMI encoder I have seen so far with easily accessible (i.e. leaked) documentation is the CAT6613/IT6613 from ITE, which also happens to be available for purchase in single quantities from a number of Chinese retailers. It seems to be used in the OSSC and several FPGA development boards, so it's about as close to being an unofficial standard for open source projects as it could be.
Hmm? How could desertification, ocean acidification and water scarcity affect me? Hmm? Could anybody explain guys? It's not like I'm not going to be able to get groceries at the supermarket anymore, hmm? They'll still be cheap, right?

For what it's worth, I think some people on HN are going to convey some (IMO faux) offense at the ethnicity aspect of this project, but it seems interesting to me. I'd like to see what Greek or Italian people my age wear if I'm planning on vacationing there and want to have a solid party outfit. Or maybe I'm looking for a gift for my friend from India that would be something he may want to wear.

That said...

a) I think the categorizations and groupings can use significant work.

b) The site needs to be seeded with far more and more realistic content to have a chance.

c) There's a giant step 2 of this project missing. Ok, I see some great outfits on your site. Now what? Can I buy them from you, or can you tell me where to get them? What's the endgame and benefit of using you over Pinterest or other fashion boards?

PS: You spelled Nigerian wrong. Since people are sensitive to this stuff, you should really ensure you get it right.
I feel like these kinds of solutions can necessarily only protect boring data - my phone number, date of birth, favorite color, and mother's maiden name.

I can't see how I could ever get the interesting/profitable/problematic data (my location history, my neighbor's doorbell videos of me, call records, purchase history at Target, and which ads I click on) into something like that.
I've been using Android since the G1.

I don't think I've ever had the search bar on the home screen for more than a couple minutes after getting a new phone.

My in-app web views are also in Firefox. I'm pretty sure just changing the default browser changes this, though there may be a second setting I'm forgetting about.

This is actually my main sticking point on refusing to try iOs. You can't even install Firefox on an iPhone, their "Firefox" is just a wrapper around Safari.
There is no runtime (other than init/exit handling). The main thing that provides memory safety without a GC is the borrow checker, which is a language feature and independent of the smart pointer types in the standard library.
Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose is a sublime episode. One of my favorites as well.
I don't know your situation, but as for the sentiment, it sounds like you really resent this. My only advice is that you accept it and do it wholeheartedly. Assuming you can't change the situation, being at peace is sometimes worth more than money.

If you want extra motivation, keep in mind that raising a child (you!) is very expensive. If you paid everything back, it might be around the ballpark of paying some rent for your mother (or, way more...).
We are past the golden age of retirement. Growing up I saw my entire Grandmothers family retire early and live a long time. They would retire in their late 50s. (Mostly government related jobs) I also meet plenty of my friends parents that would retire around the same time from one of the big three auto plants.

You can actually see it here, the age keeps going up. (Canada)

Yeah I'm not sure. I only heard that term recently and it shocked me that it was a thing. I immediately ran to see if it was a thing in CO.

There's some lawsuit going on in PA where a guy who works a pretty normal income job, I think maybe he was a restaurant owner or manager. Anyway, IIRC his entire family except mother lives in Italy or somewhere overseas. He's the only one in the USA. He's being sued by her nursing home for $93k in back rent. IIRC he's lost every appeal. He had not a single thing to do with her nursing home contracts. He definitely made under 100k, I think 40-60k. I don't see it in this article and I'm too tired to dig around.

> But, we should ask if you would want to hang out with the voice actor at a party.

I think the question is really “Will I be able to enjoy great books I otherwise would not have experienced?”

For me, it’s not that these are superior or equivalent books to parents reading to their kid or voice actors; it’s whether I’ll listen to a book for free that I wouldn’t be able to afford $10-30.
> Some authentication services have trouble, but there are other ways of implementing that, so they could be fixed without needing to keep 3rd party cookies enabled.

not to mention that if the goal is to remove 3PC, this new ad tracking doesn't solve the auth problem at all.
I would agree but there is one big exception: books I really want to read but there's no audiobook version.

I have a particular interest in early Mormon history and the history of the western US, and there are some really great books that aren't available as audio. I ended up generating some with aws and while the voice annoyed me, I was willing to do it, and the cost was much higher than a normal audiobook would cost.

I think in reality, the more popular books will get a pro reading, but as long as it's labeled, there will be a market for ai audiobooks.
"Space: Above and Beyond" is awesome! I'd also like to mentioned "Millennium" as being underrated.
This simulation looks like it assumes that your investments stop growth upon retirement, as if you'd move them all to cash. Makes it seem like your savings won't last as long.

Show HN: The unofficial HN discord just hit 50 members
This server started a few weeks ago via some HN comments.

It's very unofficial!

There'll probably be some negative comments about discord. I know that many people dislike discord. (Side note: I hope more founders build discord alternatives)

If you're active on discord and would like a HN channel, feel free to join.

The server has the same guidelines as HN:

> On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

Intentions for the server:

More of the Ask HN and Show HN discussion type content, including early feedback before show HN posts. Less intimidating to join the convo.
This is a very curious notation:

I don't think that's actually a problem for anybody but the advertisers, and screw them.
That's what I mean! If you have 2% of people doing 50% of trips, those people probably don't care about the cost.

You do, however, also have 98% of people doing the other 50% of trips. There's a good chance some of those 98% do care about the cost and might not fly if the cost is higher, e.g. you might decrease the number of trips taken.
This is a really good point. And I think the specific lists of interests will basically be used as a fingerprint.
“Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster” was funny though.
I understand the partisan reasoning why each side loves and hates him. I just always thought of him as a genius marketer and the guy the ideas man thinks he is. Where he knew what products and services would actually make it to that unicorn level and how to market them to investors and the public as such. Now it looks like he can't do that outside of his partisan circle.

If the surge of indie game popularity has shown anything, it's that games can be 8-bit hot pixellated messes but still touted as visual masterpieces as long as there's a decent global lighting engine somewhere in the mix.

I think, as you say, AI will be the next paradigm for gamers, and having specialised chips on these GPUs that can turn a scripted NPC story-based interaction into a do-what-you-want-under-these-contraints a la "AI town"[1] might keep them in business a little longer before they have to start upping the visuals again.

QED

> When Jesus returns, He will be ready for war (Revelation 19:11–16). The nations will be gathered to fight against Jerusalem (Zechariah 14:2) in what we call the battle of Armageddon. But that will be the day Jesus returns: “His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south” (verse 4). It will be a unique day in the history of the world: “On that day there will be neither sunlight nor cold, frosty darkness . . . a day known only to the Lord—with no distinction between day and night. When evening comes, there will be light” (verses 6–7). God’s enemies will be defeated, and the Antichrist and the false prophet will be “thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur” (Revelation 19:20). Jesus will set up His kingdom, and “The Lord will be king over the whole earth” (Zechariah 14:9).

> In establishing His kingdom on earth, Jesus will first set up a judgment for those who are still alive after the tribulation and who are on the earth at the time of the second coming. This is referred to as the “judgment of the sheep and the goats” or “judgment of the nations” (Matthew 25:31–46). Those who survive this judgment will remain on earth and enjoy a time of peace and prosperity with Christ for 1,000 years (referred to as the millennium; see Revelation 20:4–6). Those who are found guilty in this judgment are cursed and consigned to “the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matthew 25:41). Satan is bound and forbidden to act during the millennium (Revelation 20:1–3).

You made me waste so much time thinking that this well known manifesto was some genius hacker thing but it turned out to be american extremism/terrorism.
I've known electricians working in data centers that made more than I did -- as the data center manager. I was also in charge of service delivery and some ISP/networking functions.

But.

Dude was 1) union, 2) worked 6 days a week to make that cash, and 3) they were long, hard days. This was also in the big data center areas outside of DC (NoVA) and probably wouldn't be a thing in rural Indiana, or Outer Nowhere, NSW.

FWIW I also know a plumber who owns their own business and had several underlings and they were making well north of ~300k takehome doing mostly construction/new build plumbing work. But again, long, hard days.
Clearly, you could just go out and buy a bigger apartment.

Could you try a few sample scenarios for a CLI tool written in C# with the following publish options?

JIT:

dotnet publish -c release -o publish -p:PublishSingleFile=true -p:PublishTrimmed=true

AOT:

dotnet publish -c release -o publish -p:PublishAot=true

Either one has really good startup time (below ~100ms and 20-30ms respectively depending on what you do), compact binary size and require no external dependencies. Just like in Go except without all shortcomings of Go :)

p.s.: AOT on macOS requires .NET 8 preview (will be released in November)

"Apparently, Alcarelle is a tasteless substance that can be added to other drinks – alcoholic or non-alcoholic – to boost their tipsiness potential without the negative side effects."

Personally, I want precisely the opposite: a drink that tastes exactly like a good wine or ale, but without the tipsiness or any other effect that means I can't drive home from the party.

The current lot of alcohol-free offerings don't cut it - the ales do get better year on year, but still have a long way to go; while all the "wine"s just taste like grape juice.
This makes me think that the reason I was thrown out of Facebook is because I followed some Palestinian pages there. Not because I necessarily a supporter of the whole "Palestinian cause", because I think the whole thing is honestly a mess perpetrated by forces with ulterior motives on both sides. But I like to keep informed.

I never got an explanation from fb at the time, but now when I try to log in it states a reason: I have broken community rules regarding "dangerous people and organizations". Which is really a laughable accusation regarding me, a convinced pacifist since 50 years back. But I'm honestly concerned that this might have further implications for me. Who else gets to know that I'm considered associated with "dangerous persons or organizations"?

Anyway, we are as a society still grappling for how to deal with the sudden and immense power over public opinion generation as well peoples most private lives that social media companies have acquired lately. I don't have a complete solution, but this is untenable.
I like how it supports so many different databases. however it might be more adoption if it was a web-app and had a more modern ui. very cool though.
If we completely ignore the human beings involved (it still is idiotic). They aren't dogs or machines, but real people, like you. War is a nightmare for fully capable humans, leading to lifetimes of PTSD, high rates of suicide, and much more damage. Beyond the emotional damage, people need to be able to function to survive. An autistic person under fire in a small intimate squad is in hell. It's also a threat to the people around them, whose lives depend on them, and highly demoralizing - setting an example of transparently bad judgment and disregard for even basic humanity of their own fellow soldiers. And it's a threat to the mission.

I know it's trendy to perform amoral, sociopathic disregard for humanity (and geerally to post boundary-crossing provocations on the Internet). It's a very, very dangerous thing - which is probably why it's trendy; people like to play with those things, to look edgy. Our behaviors truly influence reality, as we know well now; the Internet is not a separate world, like a multi-player video game, but part of reality with direct impact. Also, not only does choosing that behavior introduce an enormous negative, but we feel the absence of the positive. If you and I don't do the latter, who will? There's no parents out there to fix what we break as we play. The world needs you.
Don't discount the possibility of an inside job by someone at X.

Microsoft only just released these capabilities to their lowest tiers after having one of their MSA keys popped by Chinese threat actors. It would be silly to migrate from an enterprise that generally cares about their network to one that has only now started caring.
> This again makes it sounds vendor-lock-in-ish because they can have it "exclusively" in some games. But nothing about upscaling, nor frame generation, sounds like something that requires game engine support to me

Because DLSS is a AI-based solution with customized settings and inputs for each game. (The “Deep Learning SuperSampling” is right in the title.) This is also why it requires NVIDIA’s bespoke Tensor cores to function. DLSS 2.0 removed most per-game optimization but there’s still some support work required.

AMD’s FSR is basically a traditional upscaling solution, just with low overhead. FSR runs fine on NVIDIA and even the Nintendo Switch - but almost all reviewers agree DLSS is superior in most games.

Except, perhaps, Cyberpunk 2077. But that’s not a fair metric to measure DLSS by because everything about that game has been a technical disaster.
