A raspberry pi has literally more ports than your average laptop, in a much much smaller PCB footprint.

Of course the port layout is going to be a fiasco. It's just not physically possible any other way, unless you start shoving everything into a single USB-C port and force the user into using adapters and docks, at which point you'd just be removing actual ports like laptop makers have been doing for the past years.

Tell HN: Rant on macOS Sonoma's annoying typing innovations
They are not subtle, they actually get in the way.

For example when typing, if I want to add an emoji mid-sentence, I press the ctrl+cmd+space to trigger the character viewer, then I can start typing the emoji's name to put it. Now the behavior is that it scans my previous word, let's say it's a country name and then it suggests its flag emoji. The problem is that I can't override it without clicking a dropdown so that it opens the old dialog, and there is no option to get the old behavior back.

Same with the new Caps Lock indicator. I can see on the screen that I'm typing in all caps, there is a physical led indicator in the keyboard, so why that indicator onscreen then? And it's a floating popup, it shifts to where the typing cursor is positioned, using the tint color. Not subtle at all and it can't be disabled!
Raspberry Pi 5 product brief [pdf]
English-language publications, databases, etc. have largely settled on the term 'Albums' referring by default to only studio albums. Live albums, EPs, etc. are referred to more specifically.

It's not universally true, but if you go to the Led Zeppelin wiki page, the short form discography does not list The Song Remains The Same - and you can find many other examples of this sort of distinction, all the way to audiophile-focused music torrent sites like oink and it's chain of successors.

In light of this, it's not surprising that many models follow the same pattern.

"The Architect of the Capitol, George Stewart, wouldn’t allow a station to be built under the Capitol, requiring it to be moved a few blocks away. The University of Maryland rejected a proposed station on campus, forcing “a complicated redesign that later caused commotion in College Park.”

The most difficult government agency proved to be the National Park Service. WMATA had originally planned many station entrances in the city’s downtown parks, like Farragut Square, McPherson Square, and the National Mall.

A planned station at Farragut Square that would have required moving the statue of David Farragut was rejected, resulting in two separate stations – Farragut North and Farragut West – just a few hundred feet apart."

This part is great, answers some questions I've had for a long time. Though there's at least one mystery unanswered: why is the Woodley Park station nearly half a mile from the Zoo?

It takes raw talent or many hands to make something completely nonfunctional. With a small team someone might accidentally do something coherent. In a large team there’s no danger of that. Unless one or two people somehow wrangle control of the whole thing.
My understanding is that they're synonyms, more or less:

“By the early years of King Charles I's reign, these four groups had been renamed to a numerical sequence. The royal ships were now graded as first rank, the great ships as second rank, the middling ships as third rank, and the small ships as fourth rank. Soon afterwards, the structure was again modified, with the term rank now being replaced by rate, and the former small ships now being sub-divided into fourth, fifth and sixth rates” --wikipedia

A summary, because it’s a bit spread out over a few places:

- It’s extremely common for Chinese people to use third-party keyboards.

- If they do this, all security Signal provides is undermined.

- Signal tells people it’s a secure way of communicating. People in China believe this and use Signal without realising they aren’t secure.

- It’s fair to expect Signal – an organisation founded and run by Americans – to not be aware that Chinese people use their phones in a very different way to westerners.

- A Chinese woman has been telling them about this problem for years and asking for a warning to be put into Signal so that Chinese users are aware they can’t use Signal securely in this way.

- Signal conspicuously ignored her for a very long time. Things like Moxie blocking her on Twitter, misrepresenting the request as a “boiling the ocean” type request, saying she was just attention-seeking, saying that people should decompile keyboards to prove they are transmitting keystrokes, etc. Have you ever heard a security professional say that they need evidence that something is being actively exploited before they will do anything about it?

- Finally after a year of this, he replied to a man on Twitter saying “Totally, if this is the thing people want, that's np.” – as if this hasn’t been brought up over and over again by her to the point of him blocking her because she was annoying him too much.

- At this point people point out that this is what she has been asking for for years. So he apologises. To the men he’s talking to, not her.

- And just recently, it turns out insecure keyboard leaking is something that has been affecting hundreds of millions of Chinese users. So it was absolutely a real problem that Chinese Signal users needed to be aware of, and it was a major security fuckup that Signal delayed warning people for over a year.

Unsurprisingly, she’s less than polite when talking about Signal. And she’s a provocative person in general. But the fact remains that she was telling Signal about a real problem for a long time, and they were conspicuously ignoring it when it came from her but finally acted on the problem when she got a few white men to repeat the complaint for her. I get that she rubs some people up the wrong way, but if you’re a person from the west being told by a Chinese person that there’s something particular to their demographic that is wrecking your security, you should pay attention, not do everything you can to avoid them.

I don’t trust software to be secure if they disregard security issues because they don’t like who is reporting them, and nobody else should either.

Raspberry Pi 5 Benchmarks: Significantly Better Performance, Improved I/O
Can't help but I feel slightly disappointed. This is essentially a weaker version of RK3588 based SBCs, but lacks both smaller cores as well as NPU. And those boards are available with 16GB of memory. And we're talking about a very old core at this point, A76 really isn't new (~5 years old core).

That isn't to said it's useless, the Ampere Altra is using basically the same arch as this one and it's perfectly usable. But if I wanted a small machine, an Alder Lake-N is a lot faster and at the same price - and runs perfectly with upstream Linux. I feel like the only nice selling point is now the formfactor and hopeful future "neat-little-addons" to this one.

RK3588 can't use upstream and I assume this one will not either for now (Phoronix left that out of their article - curious). I would hope this gets better support than the RK3588, but when? And since this is actively cooled in any case, the ADL-N looks far more interesting as cheap computing/server solution.
The "correct" fix is to call SetThreadErrorMode(SEM_FAILCRITICALERRORS, &oldmode) before doing I/O to prevent a dialog from hanging your app.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/errhandl...

I only put "correct" in scare quotes because it is kinda lame that this is still required. When was the last time anyone was happy that they got an "Abort, Retry or Cancel" dialog?
Yeah, but why edge for that? It makes sense for something like Stadia (rip) so i guess that's one example, but is the user experience for hotdog-or-not really improved that much by the extra 50 Ms or whatever of latency that edge gives you over closest core?

Each time a breach like this happens I want to download the file and check if

1. My emails are in the dataset, and

2. Any of my passwords are in that dataset.

I really just want the collection of passwords so that I can use it as a check against any of my current passwords.

[EDIT: I know about haveibeenpwned.com; I'm not asking for a service that I send a http request to to determine if a single username exists in the db, I want the db itself so I can chuck it into sqlite and check multiple records at a single time, quickly, for both usernames alone and passwords alone

I also believe it's a bad idea to ask a third-party to perform the check. Even if you trust that third-party now, there is no way to ensure that trust in the future - i.e. it gets bought, breached or pwned itself in the future and best case scenario is that the record of your username lookup is available as "confirmed". Without visiting that site, no one would never know if that record was a throwaway or not.]

They (Phoronix) are benchmarking the RP5 against an Orange Pi 5. There is also an Orange Pi 5 Plus, which adds a ton of stuff. If you don't need the Raspberry Pi specifically for some reason, the Orange Pi Plus is faster and has way more features, and to me is very interesting for a lot of use cases. Plus you can buy them without fighting with scalpers or being limited to buying 1.

> Is this code "open source?"[0] It is under a MIT license, has the training scripts, all the data is highly available, etc. But to the best of my knowledge no one has reproduced their results. These people sure couldn't[1] and I'm not aware of any existing work which did.

I don't know about ML specifically, but I've seen a number of projects where people publish supposedly "the source" for something and it doesn't actually build. IMO if they're doing it wilfully that makes not open source, whereas if it's just good-faith legitimate incompetence then it can be.

(My litmus test would be: are they giving you all the stuff they'd give to a new hire/assistant working with them? If they've got a "how to build" on their internal wiki with a bunch of steps they're keeping secret, then it's not open-source. But if the process for a new hire is to hand over a code dump and say "huh, it works on my machine, I don't remember what I did to set it up", then at that point I'd consider it open source. I think this aligns with the "preferred form for making modifications" idea in the licenses).

> But more likely is doing tuning, reinforcement learning, or using a LoRA. Even the company engineers would look at those routes before they looked at retraining from scratch.

Sure. But they'd have that capability in their back pocket for if they needed it. It's a similar story for e.g. parts of the Linux kernel code that are generated via a perl script based on the architecture documentation - you only actually re-run that perl script once in a blue moon, but it's important that they publish the perl script and not just the C that was generated by it.

Wow, every author I searched for is in there.

I’m very bullish on technology progress and the future of generative AI, but at the same time I cannot fathom deciding to consume such a vast amount of pirated content (or even any pirated content) and then releasing a paid service off the back of it, and not expecting trouble down the line.

For an open source, non-commercial project it might be controversial, but commercialising the aggregate pirated content of 180,000 stolen books is pretty bold.

There is a very clear line between content that’s freely available (eg. scraping the web) and this. And even the web scraping is obviously controversial for some…

I've built the same keyboard four times over the last three years.

Version 1 used a Teensy++ and Box Pale Blue switches.
Version 2 used a Teensy++ and Matias Click switches, and added a bodged-on OLED. This required a completely new PCB design.
Version 3 used the same PCB, and some more Matias switches from my parts box, but swapped in a nanoCH32V305 controller using a little interposer adapter board. It was mostly to work the kinks out of the custom firmware for the CH32V305.
Version 4 ended up with footprints to use either Alps or MX-footprint switches and either the Teensy or nanoCH32V305. I now have stacks of spare PCBs and plates, just waiting for a better switch than Box White v2.
> I don’t think either has been falsified, it’s more that they are just useless in specific cases.

Of course they have. If you try to use SR or GR to predict how particles behave, you will get none of the quantum effects we have observed experimentally.

If you try to use QM or QFT to predict how the planets move* or at least how black holes move, you'll get predictions that don't agree with what telescopes have observed.

So yes, both of the theories have already been falsified.

* I have been told that there are some ways to account for gravity in regular QM in a way similar to GR that essentially work until you get to the kinds of strong fields near a black hole, where they break down again.

The company went through an existential crisis during the silicon shortage / pandemic. They had to make very hard decisions. The "prioritized industry" was mostly constrained to older hardware w/ larger process node sizes (Raspberry Pi 3), and compute module.

Not to undermine your concerns, but in case you are curious the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4) is lovely and allows you to choose from a wide variety of carrier boards which might better fit your use case. I use them in my robots but I have a few carrier boards for home that make them like a regular Pi for random stuff around the house.

Two words: software support.
Really Raspberry Pi people? I guess availability of cheap very useful boards like rpi zero 2w was a fluke and no one intends to come back to that. Now they're just focusing on designing expensive boards like every other commercial manufacturer. I could understand if they were struggling financially, but there have been tens of millions of £ of (UK) government and private donations to their "charity" precisely to keep low cost boards available at low cost to enable tinkering.

>Yet somehow, Windows 10 and 11 are dripping with contempt for the user, but the EU still hasn't acknowledged that as an antitrust problem worth investigating. Their insistence on pushing users into Edge alone should be enough IMO.

At this point, I'm not sure it's worth investigating. This isn't the 90s when everyone was running application software directly on their PC; now everything is done in the cloud or through your web browser somehow. I honestly find it funny when Windows users have all kinds of agony because of that "contempt" you refer to; if they don't like it, they're free to switch to another OS. I've been watching this for over 25 years now but people just won't give up Windows, even when they only use it for web browsing, so I've lost all sympathy for them, even though the Windows user experience keeps getting worse.

Yeah, IMO this is kind of... boring? I mean, the PCI thing is nice, the performance is a nice bump, maybe they'll improve availability, but this seems like it's really just a Pi 4.1; I had hoped the Pi 5 would be RISC-V. Or at least UEFI[0], although I can't find confirmation at all about the firmware status so fingers crossed.

[0] Edit: Yes I know there are UEFI builds for Pis 3 and 4, but since there's no onboard memory to hold it you have to chain load it from an SD which undermines the usefulness of the thing IMO.
