If you work out the timeline, you'll also see the work was early in the current AI wave, i.e. do you think a Navy physician in training was talking to Googlers without formal agreements in place already? So walk back that August 2016 email to initial talks taking place at least several months, maybe a year or more, and probably ideation even earlier.
I remember https://yacy.net/ but the big problem of this project was java and had not implementations in others languages. I mean it as imagine torrent was only in perl.
Has anyone self taught CS/Math undergrad curricula from public course materials?
Many universities have there undergrad curriculum available online along with their course materials (slides, videos, assignments, etc). Some are locked down and little searching reveals sources. E.g.: Berkeley, MIT, CMU, Stanford, etc.

My question is has anyone here on HN did something like picking one school's curriculum and studying its entire undergrad core sequence or something similar to go from knowing nothing about the subject (or trivial something) to becoming well versed to find a job or do something else.

Since CS and Math are the most accessible subjects, I mentioned majorly those two. Any other subjects are also welcome.

How long did it take you? Which courses were the highlights?
Someone needs to start doing comp-lit style studies of computer code instead of literature.

Most of the problems of API design could be remedied by people stepping through their own code and looking askance at the whole process.
Unions, social security, get healed at the hospital without having to raise a mortgage, laws protecting minimums... Yeah sure, you don't need those if you are wealthy enough.
But if you're not rich, what is guaranting you this decency in America ?
Because people generally wants rulers above them. It is a state doctrine that tells you it is for your protection.

But if someone stole your bike, usually police wont find it.
Rapeseed oil is what I use. It can be kept in the fridge, and from what I manage to read online there are no real benefits of olive oil over it except maybe taste and vitamin e content, and people claiming otherwise seem to never really be able to back up their claims.

It works just as well except when you want the taste of olive oil. I find it superior when I stir fry things since the smoke point is higher.
That is the thing, they care about Windows users.
That is not how any of this works. SAP is already sold to the C-suite on the basis of very fancy powerpoints and sales pitches before anyone in the enterprise can do a gap analysis. I have no experience with Oracle Finance, but I suspect the process will be the same.

Still no major improvement on Siri. Really disappointing considering iOS does not let you replace Siri with ChatGPT or Google Assistant.
Really behind what’s possible today especially since LLMs. This is where the future of computing lays IMO, not new stickers.
I'd love to see more competition in search. Feels like everyone right now gets tripped up on trying to emulate Google, which is a trap even if you succeed. Nobody is going to out-Google Google.

ChatGPT's recent huge success in performing a specific tasks previously within the domain of Google by doing something other than they are is a good example of this.
It’s absurd that most coffee, even high end beans, is sold with only a use by date (often a year or more after roasting).
why is my phone always getting slower with each new big release?
Should I avoid new versions completely to avoid lowering performance?
Don’t worry, as a native speaker it’s not much better. While it can transcribe your request well, it very rarely can actually do anything more than search the internet.
Running the fan all the time is a safe failure mode; is there any reason to think the driver was ever "destructive"?
Let's say it has improved.
They have no interest in upstreaming their open sourced kernel driver it would seem.
What do you mean? Of course they do.
Create 1000s of files like this:

NSA will archive it for you expecting to decrypt the content later in the future when a software bug is found or hardware is more capable.
There IS a name already. It's literate ;)

Seriously though, I don't mind people who don't as long as its decipherable, but I find it odd giving punctuation (or lack of it) some value judgement.
YaCy's big problem is that distributed search is a bad idea that will never perform well. Search is as fast as the data is local.
My only iOS complaint: no transliteration in search, which Android has.
I have to double check the routes sometimes because if you drive a sufficiently long distance, it'll bring you into some creepy swamp instead of the highway.
This is only for iMessage, it states SMS spam reporting is carrier dependent (I have no option to report SMS spam), and Apple isn’t filtering SMS spam
Realistic answer to all of those would probably be: "... then this user won't be able to load ads, so I don't care about them anyway"
I wanted to be explicitly narrow my focus and not address isolation. I'm simply not as familiar with the topic of isolation so I decided not to speak about it. Intimacy expansion is not a good tool to address isolation. Sorry

The paradox of Russian borders is that at the current border, and also beyond it, are flat plains. So as soon as they create a "buffer zone" (let's not dwell on what that means for the people in said "buffer zone"), they create a new border... on the same flat indefensible plain. So the next policy goal is to extend the border, etc.

Say Russia achieves is "geographic necessity" of conquering Ukraine (which I very much wish doesn't happen). What's beyond there? Romania is a mix of plains and mountains - so what, Russia gets to invade there? Poland is mostly flat and with few major obstacles (Vistula running south-north is probably the only major one - and a very topical one...). So then what - extend the "buffer zone" into Germany? And... Finland? And I mean, you can't trust these warmongering Swedes and Norwegian - remember the Vikings? Better pacify these guys too before it's too late.

It's not a logic anyone outside of Russia wants to entertain.
I thought that there has also been some research that these kinds of "mindfulness" exercises can enhance existing tendencies toward mental illness--depression, dissociation, paranoia, etc.

Of course, that doesn't get reported in every new age social media channel.
If you uninstalled half life 1's bundled Sierra Utilities it would remove 1 directory higher than where you installed it. Usually wiping out Program Files.
I had the same experience with the Garden of Earthly Delights: it leaves a lasting impression. It's so incredibly weird; parts of it look like a seventies comic (or perhaps older sci-fi book cover art) instead of a half a millennium old painting.

If I may give a recommendation :-) Another painting that left a lasting impression on me was "Virgin and Child with Canon van der Paele", located in Bruge, in Belgium. It doesn't have the weirdness of the Bosch painting, but it's just so incredibly detailed, and unlike the more famous Lamb of God, you can come to within 5cm of it.
Food, apparently.
Can you explain what makes C++ coroutines work better than Rust futures?
Hi DanG I'm not a Bot, All my posts are Me by hand, just interested in the Articles, and in sharing to ascertain other opinions.

The reason I posted the four archive mirrors, is because readers were complaining that either the .is or .ph links were not working,

and we were ending up with two or more posts with links anyway, so my solution was a one liner.

I am reminded, as per the guidelines that pay-walled Articles must have a work around to be posted on HN:

I will cease and desist posting, as per your request.

Note! Several formatting edits
Heard a story about a developer auditing the code for missiles. He quickly pointed out that there was memory leaks everywhere … turns out that it was intentional, as the missile had its own garbage collection at the end of flight.

Any OOM issues was handled by doubling the expected memory usage during the missiles flight.
The title definitely seems like a strawman, but it is the best use of a strawman that I've seen in an academic article: an outrageous and amusing title that makes me want to read the paper!

(The rest of the article seems much more defensible to me: well-written without quite verging into strawman territory. But I'm no expert in the field.)
Probably should say it "can be" good for the brain.
The context here is someone using git. Who presumably understands folders.
Yep, it baffles me too.

But as we can observe - Big Tech can totally ignore multilingual support and still make billions of dollars!
Desktop AI isn’t happening, says AMD, and might not for quite a while
I would recommend getting Starcraft Remastered if you're into the original games. They're really well made. "Modern" graphics that still feel like the original and should work out of box on modern computers (even M1 macs).
Astute observation. Soviet Union did the same thing, even turning children against parents so the "forbidden thoughts" are not mentioned even in the privacy of home. Thought police.

The "new-age hippy trash" impression kept me away for years. What finally got me to try was "Mindfulness in Plain English" which is available both for free and paid versions, and Gil Fronsdals audio recordings (his introductory series), which are also available for free.

They're both more like "how to" guides than spiritual, and mention Buddhism or other practices only in passing (both have much more explicitly spiritual material too for those who want that), and Fronsdal jokes about the "B-word".

What I get out of it varies, going from just 5-15 minutes of calm and relaxation to multi-hour deeper meditation, to tumultuous sessions where I get no calm but all kinds of issues or ideas force themselves to the surface. I feel I benefit from all of it, but it's a method or a tool for me, not spiritual.
You’re giving me a phone with essentially the same feature set and it keeps getting a little bit bigger and a little bit heavier. Why? So they can sell me a new case? The screen is the exact same dimensions. They even dumped a button, which should mean more internal volume for other things.

This is why I’m still on the 12. I only got that because it had a little more screen real estate than the one I had before, but still mostly fits in my pocket.
I think you may wanna reply on Twitter.
Wow! This actually completely nailed it home for me. Thanks so much for sharing.
Yea but milking the customers and blaming the employees is a great way to make profit!
It’s not news to you, you make harsh statements, but reading the actual description of the feature was too much.
And wow, describing Apple’s vision on privacy as distorted is really something.
Is Meta your reference on privacy matters?

I know on a personal level the executives and experts of the entire privacy division. There might be some very US-centric agenda items in what they do (the CSAM detection fiasco which cost them a dent in their reputation) but generally speaking I’ve rarely seen a team more motivated and driven than that one.
If you haven't, give Starcraft Remastered a shot. Felt like the original games when I played them when I was a kid but looks "modern" without any changes on unit interactions, etc.
It almost seems worth giving up ISO for SQLite, but I understand there are real concerns when you get into enterprisy stuff.

SQLite is kind of its own standard. It's public domain and they don't do breaking changes all day, and it's in C. As long as C is still viable, SQLite is usable on basically all non embedded platforms, and nobody really needs to reimplement it, unless they want to port it to Rust or something.

Not that you'd need to, since it's already very reliable.
> Recent AAA games seem to forgo even a multi-minute QA process by the publisher or the console maker.

Citation needed; frequently the list of QA testers at the developer, publisher and console manufacturer are larger than the list of developers in the credits of a modern day game. There's tons of QA testing happening, but also the complexity and size of games are 1000x what they were back then.

That said, you can definitely tell a difference in quality between publishers; big titles like God of War, Horizon, even some of the biggest of them all, RDR 2, barely have any major issues at launch.

But you're probably thinking of Cyberpunk, an overambitious title released too soon, or maybe Starfield, by the company that refused to fix known issues that the community fixed over a decade ago but kept republishing the same title with the same bugs for years.
CUDA only had its initial release in 2007 (compared to the mentioned crack in 2009), and I remember it being a fairly limited product at that point. GPUS were also much slower back then.
The decision to not use an engine is curious. Anyone know why?
And we don't actually have any means to prove those brain changes were caused by mindfulness.

It could be coincidence.

I'm not dismissing it, but we have no means to go back in time, split her in two and examine a copy of her brain after six weeks without mindfulness as the control.
I visited that channel and now I'm going to figure out how to play Age of Mythology on my computers this weekend.
It's like how the model for a snow slab doesn't prove there was a snow slab that slipped over the Dyatlov Pass tent that night, despite what the media claimed about the case being solved. It only shows that it could have, assuming the data and assumptions are correct for that specific location.

Or models showing some solution to the Fermi Paradox, and proponents claiming that the mystery is finally solved. How do they know the model is accurate?
Oh yes, that evil Capital paying you for a service you promise to provide, and then getting a refund when you don't provide it.

The oppression!
You don't need to remember it, just bookmark and tag however you like (it's anyway a waste of keystrokes to manual type the full domain for such a frequently used site like a search engine)
Same here, even WSL brings little to the table to me, other than reducing my costs.

Since VMWare exists and hardware has been fast enough, that the only physical device running GNU/Linux has been my netbook, from the netbook golden age.

As for Android, it is great that it isn't really yet another UNIX clone, rather its own thing, with a managed userspace, we need to move away from a fossilized OS designed for PDP11s.
HN generally awards primary status to the earliest post. That can get messy on popular or major stories where there's a flood of dupes. Other factors may involve paywall/non-paywalled sources (NYT is paywalled), and stories based on reporting elsewhere (HN prefers the original source).

When you can only run one app at a time on iOS, why do you need 8GB of RAM? Outside of high end games or professional editing type apps, this seems hugely overkill for most apps.
Whatever new major release promises to deliver, I will wait until spring around .3 to update, because apple .0 releases are riddled with bugs, everytime I tried... Never ever am I going to update to a .0 of Apple. Its basically a public beta with a lot of fuzz.
Serious question: are you making this comment to justify being cynical? I can’t tell if you’re being neutral or not.
my current solution reinstall YouTube on iOS whenever I miss-clicked a bait video. manually search for the few topics that interest me afterwards.
I have a 5 year old iPhone running iOS 16 which is snappier than most Android phones out of the box. The only problem I have is that it’s extremely aggressive at killing backgrounded apps due to the tiny amount of RAM and no swap.

However, it isn’t surprising or malicious for Apple to optimise their software for modern hardware. They still seem to do a significantly better job supporting old hardware than anyone else.

Perhaps some components in your phone are dying? If you go into Battery settings, has Peak Performance Capability been reduced?
Original attacked a concept, you attacked an individual. Don't equate the two.

The first person who starts to attack an individual will be told to stop, that is the only reasonable way to make people stop attacking individuals so we can argue freely.
> And the double tap to zoom in on a column was a pretty big feature too.

By itself this feature is not a very big deal: Opera Mobile/Mini had it for quite some time before iPhone, I certainly used it a lot. But the whole package the iPhone brought was a game changer for the industry.
Exactly. With some experience the backend can be built by a single person in about 3 months if you have access to good testing data. I've done it. Customer ran verfication against their legacy mainframe, software was accepted right at delivery, 0 bugs found. Afaik it is still running in operations, with ofc some changes and adaptations over the years.
Your comment bothers me because it is based on very shaky premises.

Nature doesn’t work in the most optimal way, so it’s not always best to replicate it. Tons of things happen in nature that may wipe out important ecosystems. I suppose one could argue that at a long enough time scale it will even out but that time scale can be millennia. In the meantime, nature can wreak tons of havoc.

Nature (and by that I mean ecosystems because nature is a vague) also doesn’t behave in necessarily intuitive or easily observable ways either. What might seem “obvious” at first can be very wrong.

Nature (and again I mean ecosystems) also doesn’t exist in vacuums. What may have worked for centuries can be upset by even the most subtle of temperature shifts, and those might be caused by effects hundreds of miles away.

Unchecked nature is also not always going to be conducive to human needs either.

The entire field requires constant observation and inference. Even the ways of indigenous people that are fetishized as natures way by many, are scientific in nature. They’re the result of many years of observation, experimentation, learning and modifying how nature works to fit our needs.
For people that care about the quality of footage above anything else you can already record better quality footage with a $200 Android phone. You can record RAW video with an app I wrote (it's free for the raw video part of anyone cares). Every year every phone manufacturer claims to do the next best thing with video and photography and every year it's fairly mediocre. I'll wait to test it for myself as always.
You,didn't think about it as a kid because the original Red Alert didn't include a nuke truck. Although one of the expansions (Aftermath?) did, it wasn't exclusive to Ukraine.

The nuke truck was made the Ukrainian unique unit only in OpenRA.

Large language models are the next big thing for robotics, making cars and other robots quicker to train and easier to control (if you trust them).
But I’m surprised they’re still sleeping in this considering Apple expects it’s highest growth markets to be outside the English speaking part of the world
VirtualBox dropped support for 9x versions of Windows some time ago, and although it's "possible" to get it working, it works very badly.
There's also SSD wear issues. There shouldn't be, because SSDs are durable, but some applications find dumb reasons to write multiple GB in a minute.

And by some applications I pretty much just mean browsers, but still.
What engine is it built on?

I wonder if this will cause an interest in in Faraday Cage walls: outer wall sheetrock with a copper wire mesh support, with a ground to prevent re-radiating. You'd also need to have the same mesh on the house roof and attic walls. Copper would be best for conductivity. The mesh holes would need to no greater than 5mm to block 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. This is rounded down to the nearest mm from the equation:

hole size (m) = speed (m/s) x frequency (Hz)
(.0599 = 299,792,458 * 5,000,000,000)

The better the conductivity of the metal the thinner the thickness can be. It's differences between 10s of microns though, so in practical terms thin copper fire should work. Even thin steel wire should work.

Your biggest leakage problem would be doors and windows. Window screens sized to stop mosquitos (1.2mm hole size) will help with this, for the windows. Metal screen doors should help.

This won't prevent all leakage, but should prevent most of it.
I just know what he told me about it verbatim, but the "meat" of his investigation was that he did statistical analysis on vast amounts of (LIDAR-based) tree-height data and comparison of storm damages. On top there were many other GIS-data layers included, so in addition to that simple finding the "meat" is that he found multiple concrete combinations of circumstances that are especially benefitial to resilience.

Not that a skilled and experienced ranger might not have known some of these combinations as well, but the data-based approach can help planing better where to plant what specifically, as opposed to just mix it based on chance.
Is this feature globally available? Because I receive an embarrassing amount of spam calls and never had a single of them blocked. The same goes for SMS.

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying, but this still doesn’t break the scheme: an attacker who interposes on ACME with their own private key is going to result in a CSR response for the wrong private key being sent back to the target server, which should cause an alertable failure. Even if this is somehow not checked (this would be a serious vulnerability in an ACME client!), the targeted server would end up serving a certificate that it can’t actually use (because it doesn’t have the private half).

AppleTV cant act as a media server. But as a client it's fantastic.

An AppleTV with an app like Infuse will flawlessly play back 4K HDR or Dolby Vision videos client side (no transcoding) as well as 7.1 lossless TrueHD audio. Unfortunately it wont do TrueHD Atmos.
> I think 6to4/6rd worked pretty to close to what you suggest: Each IPv4 gets assigned a block of IPv6 space which gets tunneled over IPv4

No. Tunnels encapsulate IPv6 traffic but they need to be set up, I need to know a gateway that is willing to take my traffic, decapsulate it and place it on the IPv6 internet. There are many reasons this is bad idea, it won't ever scale, it's fragile etc. 6rd doesn't improve things significantly.

A backwards compatible packet format will allow you to connect directly to IPv4.1 islands, without any configuration or choke point: the packets you place on the wire have the final extended structure, even if they appear as encapsulation to the legacy IPv4 hosts in the path.

It's as if any IPv6 host on the internet is guaranteed to have its own 6to4 gateway, and the encapsulation just happens to be the exact IPv6 packet / IPv4 compatible structure that you use to connect to any other non-gatewayed host.

I didn't claim the official docs have no mistakes.

Since there's only one documentation, beginners can't get wrong with which docs to use.

Ad opposed to books, which have tons of bad choices available (hence the current discussion).
