Tell HN: Google Nest Wifi locks existing features under telemetry opt-in
A few years ago, I bought a couple of Nest Wi-Fi routers for my home network. All was good until a couple of days ago when the routers got their firmware forcibly upgraded.

I used to have a bunch of DHCP IP reservations set up which are now all gone. And guess what? You can't restore them unless you enable both following privacy settings:

1) Nest Wifi cloud services. Nest Wifi uses cloud services to provide peak performance, useful network insights and help when you need it. Nest Wifi stores and analyzes data about your entire network and devices.

2) Wifi router and point usage stats. Automatically send anonymous Wi-Fi feature related usage statistics and crash reports from all Wifi devices in your Wi-Fi network to Google in order to improve Google's Wifi products.

Apparently, this is not exactly new, I found an amusing thread about this very issue from over a year ago: https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Nest-Wifi/DHCP-IP-reservations-are-hidden/m-p/77848 I guess I'd just never bothered with the firmware updates, a behavior that seems not acceptable anymore.

Just to summarize: a router has a built-in feature that was paid for, a forced software upgrade breaks it until you "voluntarily" allow Google to spy on you and your network, and everything indicates this is not a bug but fully intentional.

This shit must be illegal. Fuck you Google.
It's not just about matching imprints on the bullet to the barrel. They likely also checked the ammo against what was in the magazine, and I doubt Teran had the same ammo as the police. It might be the same caliber (9mm luger) but there are many different brands of ammunition and bullet types. Atlanta police use Winchester PDX1 147 grain. Most people use lighter hollow points that cost less. Also Atlanta police use Gen 4 Glocks, which have polygonal rifling. Bullets fired from polygonal rifling have very different imprints than those fired from traditional rifling with lands and grooves.

> Our approach achieves a 3.0% improvement in reducing instruction counts over the compiler, outperforming two state-of-the-art baselines that require thousands of compilations.

If that's their target, then what's the point? LLVM's optimizations are not done to minimize instructions but to maximize performance. On modern processors, these can be very different things.
Not to mention obesity, which overlaps nicely with county maps of tobacco use, firearms ownership, alcohol abuse, unemployment, abortion bans, and places that used to own slaves.

Still, I'd say calling a color-coded overlay of those things "political" is actually too kind.

To me this reads visually as a weak attempt to get some viral traction for posting something like those covid infection / vaccination maps, which wealthy city-dwellers clucked over while reveling in the schadenfreude of The Redneck getting his Just Desserts.

It's not political, so much as a kind of snuff porn indulged in by certain people. Nor has it lost its paternalistic "public health" overtones in this remix.

[edit] don't get me wrong, I'm all for bringing the backwards South into the 21st Century and putting an end to its reactionary BS that has no place in a modern democracy. My point is that shaming them has no effect whatsoever; it's just a sop to prop up the sense of superiority that's unhelpfully been cultivated by coastal elites.

Yes there are prior cases including my own user. They disabled my blue mark couple times in the past because I first changed my user name and the I also changed my user picture. In both cases X/Twitter disabled my blue for couple days. And I am nobody nor anti Elon or pro Elon.

ArsTechnica's journalism was insanely sloppy and flakey on this one. Shame on them.
1 to 5k? That's laughably low, they make anywhere from 15 - 50% of the total compensation as a lump sum, but sometimes with stipulations like the employee not quitting before 90 days. If they're part of a recruiting firm, the firm might take a lot of that commission, but the recruiter still gets a hefty amount. So for your 160k, the firm likely make 40k total from which she would have made maybe 15k of that.
So is pointing your own experience.

"Hear" is a slippery word.

Hearing is not listening. First you hear, but you do not listen. Then
you want to listen. Then you can listen. Finally, with effort, you
listen. In addition to intent there must be theory of mind, and
inter-subjectivity, some one to listen to. Then, say back what you
really think you heard - acknowledge the reality not your own lens;

"We hear that you feel we were greedy, took our users for granted and
treated you with disrespect."

Is different from;

"We are frightened and reacting to your signals of disengagement"
(expect more manipulative acting-out as we try to "fix you")

Wow, AsanteTalk!

Thats a name I havent heard in a long time!

Which reminds me, I was luck enough to be at one of the last pre-Jobs / transitional era Apple TechTalks in London for dealers. They showed new Stylewriters I recall, which never got released!

Jobs killed all the printers before they shipped, and rightly so!
That’s not true for firearms. More people die from falling off ladders than die in mass shootings.

I’m pretty sure it’s the opposite. You can kill the spores with heat but it leaves the toxins intact.
I don't think your definition of sentient is very accurate. Is a chicken sentient? Or a clam? Having a nervous system does not a sentient being make. By that definition a microcontroller with sensors for temperature would be sentient. All natural animal meat is delicious and a reaaaallly efficient way of getting practically all nutrients the human body needs to thrive. I'm always surprised by the level of personal guilty paople feel by simply living the way humans were designed to live.
You need a supermajority to amend it, and even if the 64% number in another post is accurate, you need a supermajority of elected representation, which don't map directly to population. Specifically, states that are less populous have the same number of senators, and typically are against more gun control. Lastly, even if you had a supermajority of representation favoring more gun control, you have to get them to agree on the same type of more gun control, so realistically you won't see an amendment until something well north of 80% favor more gun control.
I thought the gameplay was so weird with all those black blocks. I didn't get past the first 30 minutes, I just got so bored. I was expecting a mystery game with a complex story.

Maybe I should give it another try.
Are you seriously suggesting that keeping a person in jail for two years, who hasn't been given trial, solely because they can't pay $2,000 isn't effectively a punishment against being poor?

Beef cattle are almost always raised on open pastureland. They live a very normal, happy, life for all their years. Yes their last moments are perhaps bad, but then so are ours.

Would you rather not exist at all if it saved you from dying?
Not really. In general if you watch one of the largest news networks in the US you've highly propagandized to the point of being completely disconnected from reality.

News likes to use statements like "The most violent city in America" and then happen to leave off the qualifier of "only if you count cities with over 1 million population". When you start including per capita statistics of smaller towns.

No description on how this is achieved? I figure it must be creative since the N64 has a scant 4kB of texture cache. The textures must be streamed directly from ROM somehow, but in the real world this didn't work so N64 games were mostly Gouraud shaded with textures used sparsely.
>The role of experimental design is to produce an environment in nothing else could cause B, such that a correlation could only be produced from causation.

Causation is not established from isolated correlation. If I completely isolate two atomic clocks but I start off those atomic clocks at the same time it does not mean one atomic clock, causes the ticking of the other even though their ticks are in sync or they have "granger causation" and can have no other form of influence.

Causation is only established by having the experimenters hand within the experiment itself. If A causes B then I have to turn A on and turn A off randomly and see if B responds as predicted. That is how causation is established. Isolation helps with this but the critical factor here is that experimental intervention is the thing that establishes causation. Remember: Correlation is an observation, causation is an intervention, then subsequent observation to see how the system reacted to the intervention.

Physics experiments focus more on the observational side of things. The causation is more meta. You're not asking if A causes B, more your asking if the concept of "A causing B" even exists.

>No, but it would make sense to say that Newton's Laws states that a causal relationship exists

This doesn't make sense. Newtons laws or physics in general define what causality means. Right? It defines the rules for how one particle "influences" another particle... hence it defines the nature of causality itself.

Do you see the difference here? You're not investigating whether or not A causes B. You're investigating the definition of "causes." Hence it's a observational experiment. It's a much more meta... and as a result becomes purely correlative as we can only observe physics, we can't change or intervene within the experiment itself to change physics.
Hey Carlos, I remember you (nanocubes!!). I was in the security research group.

You only believe in pacifism? If someone is doing evil, no one can morally stop them? That seems rough.
I feel like scripting with non-standard languages (not Python, not JavaScript) is one of the killer features of GPT-4. It was trained on a large amount of this material and can spit out functional scripts for small tasks (which you can then chain together) incredibly quickly.
You probably would also call Adam Smith, Ricardo and all classic economists a fraud? Labour Theory of Value is at the core of classical economy, all these authors assumed the theory, Marx did not create it. Marx theory built on top of it, and solved several paradoxes known in the theory at the time.
It's a political paper that helps reduce trust in science. The way that the non targeted areas were pure white, was clearly designed to accentuate an arbitrary point -- there is no purely scientific definition for "hotspot". A non-political paper would have shown a proper gradient, for all regions.
Yes. Should be included in the group as well.
fwiw, ATT charges me $15 for ~8 fixed ipv4 addresses on my gigabit plan. Even if we amortize against the total monthly bill of $113, we get ~$15 per IP.

EDIT: I guess this is the cost to _rent_ an IP per month and not the cost of _owning_ an IPv4 address.
I don't think it is a complaint; it's an observation in support of a point of view.
Anyone who wants to put a computer on the internet needs a phone number. There are now more computers than phone numbers, especially old ones without an area code or country code. As a result, those numbers are bought and sold, and amazon now owns 4.5 billion dollars worth of them.
Alcohol abuse affects people around you, as does abuse of any drug. Drunk driving kills more people than secondhand smoke. And alcohol has a multiplicative effect on violence and other forms of substance abuse as well.

Tobacco, smoked outside, is a minor pollutant no worse to people nearby than the SUVs driving by on the street, and certainly not as bad as what's in most Americans' well water or fast food packaging.
Any suggestions? I'll start with something that might be a good beginner friendly way to get familiar with some of the concepts: 'The Soul of a New Machine' by Tracy Kidder.
It is already fixed once and for all by using i64, unless you care about dates hundreds of billions of years in the future or past.
The asinine part is per install, instead of something like revenue share. Regardless of the bar they set (200k x2) for additional installs to charge is terrible simply due to the install metric.
In nearly all cases, no.
Keep your cat inside, and if you're taking it outside have it under your control.

I don't have proof of this but I have a hard time believing that passive smoking kills anywhere near as many people as the behaviour of drunk people.
I think they did bring programming to the people by way of the app store. Maybe they didn't make it so your aged granny can write an automation script, but that more people than ever were inspired to learn programming. They made two languages and a proprietary hardware/software/distribution stack that brought a lot of people into the world of software development. I know so many people a generation younger than me who learned programming specifically to make apps for the app store. People who would probably not have gone into development but for the iPhone. I'm sure Apple did not intend to mint new programmers, they intended to sell hardware and make money on software, but the net effect is more programmers than ever as a result of their choices.
There's inertia in everything.
I don’t consider the sleep and auto retry features that interesting, but definitely nice to have.

The advantages to me are the the ability to easily have long-lived “workflows” that are written in the language of your choice (5 SDKs the moment), remove the need for storing state in your application database (even remove the need for a database all together for some services), handle the rough edges around distributed concurrency, and provide out of the box visibility into workflow states.

It does seem like it would be overkill for simple use cases, but with the SaaS offering being so compelling IMHO, I think it can make sense to put smaller use cases there if there is a chance of more use cases in the future.

It does sound like you have more production experience with temporal than me though, so please push back if my glasses are a bit rosey
Interesting that as well as speed, there's more to "transparency"

So most of the FPGA tools are proprietary, as they were when I looked
at them 10 years ago? Wonder why there is little FOSS movement.

I see there is a gap, between fun hobby projects like building a CPU
from discrete gates on 10 breadboards, and an actual viable (but
slow), microprocessor (and SBC) that can be totally audited and
provably secure (at least to a good logician).

It does make sense that ChatGPT can beat gcc (or any compiler really); the compiler is forced to optimise code so that it still appears to work as if it's the source you wrote. Most importantly, if there are observable side-effects, compilers must preserve them, even though you know you don't actually care about them. An AI is not bound to preserve those, and can semantically change what you wrote, so long as the one semantic you wanted preserved is still there.
Honestly, a u-turn is not enough because of the broken trust. They'd need to cut off their (perceived or real) ability to "change the deal" like this again. Like make it clear you get a perpetual license to distribute the unity runtime for products produced while using a validly licensed unity editor. Make it so the customer has to take some affirmative action (not just clickthrough a generic new version TOS screen) to upgrade to any new TOS version which removes that license.
There is also the popular conspiracy theory that Apple was somehow opposed to allowing users to program the Mac.

They created a Mac native Basic at launch, and only Microsoft's anticompetitive arm twisting kept if from being released.
Where were these kids when Tom West was forming the team for what became the Data General MV/8000?! Not many people building 32-bit CPUs out of discrete logic these days (and even in those days!).

(For those of you who don't get the reference, I highly recommend "The Soul of a New Machine" by Tracy Kidder.)
What I mean is: instead of having a “firewall” in the compiler, is there a way to interpret pre-2024 code such that it has correct but conservative Leak bounds? Then there would be more confidence that, if a mixed-edition program type-checks, then it’s correct.

I wanted to note that homebrew websites and SEO optimized websites aren't necessarily opponents here, or in opposite corners. They are often the same tech under the hood.

Case in point: SvelteJS. It's absolutely great for a homebrew website. It's also maintained by the NYTimes, which I subscribe to and like myself, but which also has a large chunk of its business in the SEO optimized website category (see: Wirecutter).

It does it in a classy way which doesn't feel so much like ads are being stuffed down your throat - but that business is SEO optimized down to its bones.

Just skimming the front page of Wirecutter now, a NYTimes owned property, shows articles like "The Best Sunscreens for Your Face", "The best beard trimmers we tested side by side surrounded by their attachments", "The Best Women’s Razors (for Every Body)" - these are all so textbook and by the SEO playbook they could be taught in a course.
I wonder if this requires a 7B parameter model.Assembly has a small grammar and is very constrained compared to natural language.

According to Freya Holmer (who I trust since she has some insight into what's going on within Unity), their own employees were actively trying to warn them about the public response to the proposed change, long before and leading up to the release.

Trust takes a lifetime to earn and a moment to destroy. I think this could actually kill Unity.

It's easy to opine from the armchair, but what I think they should have done is gone down Unreal Engine's path - buy up valuable properties like Quixel and give yourselves a unique selling point. Then they could have at least said they're adding new functionality to justify the price hike.

This is the first time learning about these, but it resembles a compression algorithm: an image of m * n bits is represented by m + n + d numbers, which may take less than m * n bits, a sort of 2D RLE. The compression algorithms used by faxes, T.4 and T.6, are also based on this idea.

Not sure who the "they" you reference are, but the fact that Apple hung onto the II (and its many variants) for too many years while they tried to swing for the fences is not some secret.
