> civilian companies shouldn't be roped into armed conflicts

Do you think that in the most general sense, or do you mean they shouldn't be roped into this (Ukraine) conflict?

Historically, civilian companies have always been leveraged by nations to re-tool and produce the vast majority of war materiel during a crisis[0]

There are many more examples.

I think it is important to distinguish between human-readable serialization format and human-readable config language. I wish the distinction was made more explicit.

JSON is the champion serialization format. But it is hard to edit config files with missing comments and strict quotes and commas. JSON is great for the API, but configs should be converted from something nicer to JSON. I wonder if it would be good to make the conversion explicit so any format could be used.
Why is it a hypocrisy?
You know that's self-defeating advice right? You telling me to mind my business is you not minding your own business. You clearly don't live by this principle, and I won't either. I don't subscribe to the kind of radical individualism you are promoting, and you don't either. Nobody should, we live in a society. Everybody has a responsibility to speak their mind when they see somebody else behaving foolishly. You do so, you freely share your perspective on the way other people live and so do I.
My trouble with supermarket self checkouts:

We used to go to the store, pick out our items and a employee would ring them up and bag them.

Then you had to bag them yourself.

Now you have to ring them up as well.

Hedonic quality adjustment failed to capture this (and other examples of) 'enshittification' taking place and thus underestimates inflation. During Covid consumers became accustomed to worse service and longer waits and business realized what they could get away with and now run skeleton crews. The lower quality of these offerings haven't been factored in to the official inflation statistics, on the other hand if the iPad gets a little faster they are quick to hedonic quality adjust inflation down.
I'd also like it if people would stop trying to enhance their own json parser/writer to support these adhoc, and still calling it json. It's nice to have NaN/Inf support until someone eventually tries to use it with another library which doesn't.
This looks very interesting and looks like GPT3.5 is subsidized heavily. Given the advantage of scale economics for OpenAI its going to be difficult for a corporation to justify spending on their equipment and administration costs. This is where security of data and other non-functional requirements will justify training and running your own models.
Since when was web3 hugely promising Web3 is rightfully being ignored because it is useless.

AI is already extremely useful. There's zero chance that it's a fad that will fizzle out. I'm not sure how anyone could come to that conclusion.
The self-checkout as an alternative to the express lane seems pretty obvious. They're fantastic for that, I vastly personally prefer them when I'm checking out few enough items.

Also it seems pretty obvious that the system has a limited window for setting up your bags. Just set them all down at once so it registers the weight, and then faff around setting them up.
iPhone 12 deemed too hot to handle for France's radiation standards
I stick by that. It's not the only move where they tried the boiling frogs approach around widening their control gap. AMP is another example. Manifest V3 also. They've become pretty skilled at making a trojan horse that has an outward benefit with the real intent hidden.

That they end up making concessions here and there to some regulatory bodies doesn't do much to convince me it's all about privacy.
The point was that there is a point of view issue here. A person familiar with the issues of sourcing Apple's SoCs and less worried about their own costs in purchasing the device might view this as a "fair trade-off." A person unfamiliar with those issues, or merely a person highly concerned with value for money, might view it as a lame product feature segmentation. And I suppose there's the point of view of tech journalists to be contended with as well.

Strange comment. You're projecting or something.
When searching HN about any posts on issues in libwebp nothing comes up.

Preferably include a link to a source where the issues mentioned are listed/discussed.
Humans take a long time to get good at art; in the meantime they still have to eat.

So they compete with generative AI for a fixed number of jobs. The AI is cheaper and faster. Humans stop training to become artists.

Without new training data, the generative AI models stagnate. Progress in art stops globally, forever.

But for a brief glorious moment, we were able to say "huh, that's not bad".
If you take the intersection of people who are basically fit and lack latent or unmanaged anxiety disorders, then add people who are self motivated and driven, you're going to get a fairly attractive cohort.

Attractiveness is basically fitness and low neuroticism. If you have those and enough emotional intelligence to not be a criminal, you're going to generally fail upwards. Add any one of an elite education, a stdev above average intelligence, good mentoring, self awareness, or a competition level skill, and you can get a seat a most tables.

Stock prediction NN and ML examples (Python)
For quants or data scientists who are intrigued by the stock market, this repo contains simple working examples of several popular machine learning and neural network approaches for predicting stock prices. The repo also contains sample stock data so the code is ready launch with no extra steps.

ML Methods include:
* Gradient Boost
* K-means clustering
* Logistic Regression
* Random Forest
* Support Vector Machines

NN examples are all Feedforward Neural Network (FFNN) for several popular libraries:
* PyTorch
* PyTorch Lightning
* Keras
* Tensorflow

At the very least these examples can be starting points that get the boilerplate out of the way and allow you to develop more sophisticated approaches.

I'd really love to hear what you make of this!

I couldn't find any official statement from the Swedish police about this case. The "proof" is once again that an "anonymous investigative police officer" said it and they assumed it to be true.

I imagine that there might be some degree of truth to this story, but as it's written right now it's pure clickbait.

I flag anything that doesn't meet HN guidelines. It's as simple as that. HN does not need more flamewar content, especially flamewar content that doesn't add any new information to the conversation.

There's a ~1000 comment thread about the new iPhone models already on the HN front page, yet this article was posted specifically to spark a flamewar and the article itself is FUD clickbait that adds nothing new to the conversation that's not explicitly stated in the press release. During every iPhone release for the last few years, they have used the previous-generation SoC for the non-Pro models, and that is the core reason the non-Pro iPhone 15 has USB 2 speeds, because that's the controller in the SoC.

This is neither surprising, nor worth litigating. It's something Apple themselves socialized over a year ago.
You're right, I used the $0.01 as basis because I thought the fees were lifetime and you would quickly accrue over the 500k installs mark. But it turns out that it was per-month which makes unity much more expensive than I thought. That's shocking to me and means low earning games with moderate volumes would suffer painfully and pay substantially more than unreal. Damn that sucks.
Yeah, this hits hard if one is shooting videos in 4K (and why would one not use the highest resolution that’s supported?).

Photos, unless chosen to be shot in RAW and the highest resolution at all times, are comparatively not as big a deal on space used with the HEIC format (choose High Efficiency as the format in the camera settings).

Since most people tend to keep all or most of the photos they ever shot over the years on their phones, it just adds up.
this is actually all about TSMC N3 and the problems they've been having getting it to work and yield. N3 itself is essentially canceled and split into two nodes: N3B (b for Bad), which has a small gain, and then N3E (E for Enhanced) which comes next year with the performance that was originally promised for N3 (now N3B). N3E is not design-compatible with N3B, and will yield better at lower cost (because they're replacing some DUV layers with EUV) once it's finally running. In theory.

So basically this year they are releasing the A17 Pro on N3B, and the base-model phones get the old A16 (which does not have native USB3). Then probably next year they release A17 Bionic and update the base tier phones.

It's also highly likely that the A17 Pro itself gets refreshed, since it will be lower cost on N3E (and this matters at Apple's scale, the validation/testing costs are worth it). And that's the point when they'll start doing M3 chips in laptops too, most likely - actually some analysts thought M3 non-Pro/Max was a possibility (smaller dies/higher yields) but I guess N3B yields are that bad.
Computers still cannot feel emotion. They could not, with any degree of accuracy, understand what moments will become my important memories.

> pay Unity whatever they want, or get out of the business

I guess it's down to how the video game/engine market works. A tiny proportion of their users make massive amounts of money while essentially paying peanuts to Unity (well.. I guess at least in relation to what value it provides compared to storefronts/ad companies/platform owners etc.), while the bulk makes barely anything.

They don't want to go with a rev. share model due to various (pretty valid reasons) and therefore they seem to be really struggling with monetization. So they came up with this Frankensteinian compromise/abomination which hardly solves anything:

- most of their biggest customer will continue paying pennies (as % of revenue).

- most users are under the 200k/1000k limit so these changed don't even affect them in short term (of course it might make them reconsider whether they really want to continue using Unity)

- the not that large but very vocal (their corporate won't go around complaining on twitter/reddit/etc.) group of mainly indie developers in between is kind of screwed (at least if they make F2P or cheap mobile games). However it's not like they pay Unity that much money currently, so their executives who obsessed with maximizing short-term revenue growth don't have any reason to care about what happens to them.

If you end up being wrong, and crypto becomes a globally ubiquitous economic backbone, how will you rationalize having been incorrect in your present view?

You're a long-term hacker news community member. Like all of us, you pride yourself on the rational exploration of technology. Does "They've had more than a decade to find a single usecase other than crime, and they haven't" strike you as a particularly rigorous argument? Why would a decade be the magic number? Might there be more objective or intrinsic metrics of realization of potential than a set number of years? For example, Ethereum invented the crypto app layer and launched eight years ago, so perhaps ten years is both arbitrary and incorrect?

You seem to be somebody who is certain that crypto is- paraphrasing- useless for anything but crime. Given your conviction in this view, what up-to-date evidence do you have? For example, how would you contrast the capabilities of modern non-blockchain payment systems, like FedNow or India's UPI, versus the emerging network of public blockchains? If you can't answer the question, maybe your strong conviction is unjustified?

It seems that many technologists in the HN community have been whipped into an anti-crypto frenzy by crypto's many scams and now, blinded by rage and disgust, are unable to pursue any semblance of the kind of rational inquiry that otherwise is a fixture in their intellectual lives.
That's just a text submission, nothing unusual.
I don’t know anything about the game dev or publishing business. What I do know though it that many tech teams are good at tech but often not so good at other tasks that are all part of a successful business.
That starts with project management, goes over organisation or knowledge how to run a company and ends in knowing how to make profit.

There is also nothing wrong with this. I have described 3-4 different departments in a company. Chances are you are not good (enough) in all of them, and even if you are you won’t have time to do all of it good.

There is also value to just know how a industry works. As a new starter you can make your own experiences or you pay for existing experience, one way or another. This is an important business decision that you have to make. Make or buy. You simply can’t do everything yourself. So what to make and what to buy.

I don’t know if this is what publisher do (the name suggests otherwise) but I guess every dev team that thinks they have a hit still have a lot of non game dev related evaluations and decisions to make and sometimes you have to pay people with the right expertise to help you.

Web3 being hugely promising doesn’t mean AI will fizzile out. That’s a strawman. Try to reply to what’s been said. AI has far bigger downsides than Web3, Web3 at worst is zero-sum and people voluntarily choose to engage with it. AI can harm many vulnerable people and systems, that never chose to engage with any of it. That’s what you call useful?

Also, this idea that just because you say Web3 has no use cases, makes it true, regardless of evidence, is silly.
I have no idea what US voters/leaders "want Russia to be".

I don't believe EU voters/leaders wanted Putin's international military aggression. I believe they were cowards. They thought cheap Russian gas was the solution to their political (and perhaps personal) problems, and they set aside the potential consequences.

German leaders, in particular, welcomed "trade" with Russia on the basis that if they could entangle Russia in enough mutually-beneficial trading relationships, Russia would never attack Europe with militay force. This is what's called Ostpolitik, and perhaps Realpolitik (i.e. "practical politics"). Nowadays it looks much more like "cynical politics"; make hay while the sun shines, and damn the consequences.

It depends, but some frameworks just run the layers sequentially. So you get ~50% utilization from 2 GPUs unless you pipeline requests from multiple users

> But finding even smaller chips that are proper full sized microprocessors, with a proper application environment / user-mode and applications is still intriguing to me.

For what use cases, though?

I find having a full Linux stack with all its complexity introduces a lot more corner cases to test, while something like lwIP [1] if you need TCP and an 'application' running under either FreeRTOS or similar, the timer tick ISR, or a bare while(1) loop can be enormously less complicated, more reliable, and enormously smaller/lower power.

It's possible to solve a lot of problems with literally 6 orders of magnitude less RAM, and about that much reduction in power usage/increase in battery life.

I get that overkill is underrated, if you can throw $50 at a problem or $20 and make it easier to use than a $2 microcontroller that doesn't really matter if you place any value on your time, but it's just wasteful.

That's a very accurate representation of the battery life, however the reality is that it has the best battery life of any phone with that size + performance combo on the market for my usage - its just that more "regular" sized phones blow it out of the water.

Edit: I negate this somewhat with a Magsafe magnetic wireless battery.

That's because on-device storage is overpriced in order to make your math work :-)

Then it's easy decision to throw in a few more dollars for streaming service and you are nice recurring revenue instead one-time sell.

Also it's probably cheaper only if you consider only Apple ecosystem. Other mid-range device comparable to base iPhone with bigger storage is probably cheaper.
