They're the Croatian equivalent of German "hidden champions" - insanely good technology, possibly world-leading positions in their niche, but very unknown outside of said niche.

Rimac cars aren't something your average neighbor will ever drive, probably not even your average non-F500 CEO. But, similar to F1 racing cars and early-days Tesla, they push right at the edges of technology, which will eventually trickle down to ordinary cars.
Also anectdotal: Ate at a Chinese restaurant with him, he's not gross at the table.

I did hug him later and he was very sweaty - but we did just traipse across London in a bit of a rush and he was absolutely exhausted.
It's crazy to me that people keep willingly buying hardware that requires a service to work. You have a high up-front cost, yet you're at someone else's mercy. That's the worst of buying and renting combined.

Obviously it isn't very profitable to keep supporting a product you've already sold at the moment, so something must be done to make it more attractive.

At the very least there should be a support commitment which marks the life time of the device. Stated upfront and comparable before purchase, a bit like those EU energy efficiency labels.

8 years might be a fine life span for some customers. But they should be aware of it in advance. And they should be motivated to ask "and what do we do with it afterwards?".
An amazing TV series about a talented young man who bails out on his ambitions, and becomes a family man, only to grow old at an unsatisfying job, and finding himself facing his mortality, at which point he decides to change his life and achieves his true potential.
My experience with LLMs is that they distill just the group think from the internet, and remove all rational thought.

I doubt they'll be much help doing anything that is better than whatever standard practice was 6-12 months ago.

If anything, I'd expect them to cement in incumbents and bad practices, since fewer people will be reading documentation and thinking critically about how to do better.
I'd wager a guess that getting players will be the most difficult part by far, at least in the beginning. Make an MVP and focus on building a playerbase first, then come back to architecture when you're suffering from success if you get that far.
Depends to what degree. Punching in and out? Seems completely reasonable to me. Tracking anything more than that, seems pretty invasive.

In the dystopian future employers will track every second of your movement, and see what you've been doing.

Not typing enough? And they dock ya!

Which policies and abuses have been linked to shot spotter systems?

These are among the least-worrying systems because they don't indiscriminately capture information about passers-by (or even suspected offenders, for that matter).

It literally just notifies them that it thinks there were gunshots and attempts to localize them to a particular block.
Talk to the Republican Primary Debate Candidates Using AI
Hi everyone I'm working on Zolt, a business intelligence tool that lets you analyze your content with AI. The platform allows you to upload multiple content formats (PDFs, audio files, videos, docs etc) and search across them.

As an example, here is an example of the Primary Debate. You can ask for candidates positions on various topics that are interesting to you or ask for fun facts.

Would be grateful for your feedback on how I can improve this!
It's not Volkswagen AG who took control of Bugatti and Rimac, it's Porsche.

Use pattern matching (Regular Expressions) or language-specific heuristics to identify code snippets. Code snippets often have distinct patterns, such as indentation or the presence of common programming keywords.

Or easier, if your LLM allows it, give it instructions to initiate and end your code with a marker - everything inbetween those markers is code.

Yep, definitely American privilege making up for American bad assumptions. I have reliably gotten my visa requirements right the rest of the time across said global South.
At some point I think it's worth asking who are we trying to stop and why.
The issue were specifically games. Before proton, Wine DX9 compatibility was workable at best, DX10&11 was terrible and DX12 hadn't even started.
Yes, yes, yes! A million times yes! Our iPad 3 may have a bit of ‘kids device’ time, but after that it’s useless. Its battery life is over any laptop I have in my household (except just one with M2, obviously).

My wife is Ukrainian and we do live in Ukraine. And hadn’t left, as our city is relatively safe from missile and drones attacks. But the winter was harsh and we had extreme blackouts last winter. We could have from days (at worst) to hours (at best) without any electricity and internet connection. I bought top of the line MacBook Pro 16 with M2, just to do my work, which involves heavy renders quite often. Also we have a generator and a huge battery pack that can power some critical devices up to a day.

Still, given all that, the iPad saved our winter, as we could download offline most of the various content and almost never its battery was depleted during those blackouts. This tablet ($30 on a used market) and a $4K laptop were two devices that held its battery basically without need to be recharged either from generator or the battery pack.

Now Apple and Google tell me I have to retire the tablet just because. Also, I have an obsolete 10” Intel Atom netbook somewhat 5 years older than this iPad (ca. 2007–2008), and it runs fresh Arch Linux with the latest Firefox. Its battery is dead, but I know I can replace the cells, when needed. It can run many of my tasks, has an HDMI port and 4 GB of RAM. And is perfectly usable in many cases. But the iPad that could run rounds across the netbook, if allowed to remove all the bloat and update what’s needed— well, you know. You better buy a new one to watch YouTube and your precious local content.
You can run DOS 6.22 on brand new hardware, with an EFI bios? Or on a pc you pulled from a closet or a VM?
30 years ago, a friend of mine worked at a Wall Street bank in NYC. They had a policy that you could take a car service (paid by the company) home if you worked in the office until 9PM. He used to badge out at around 6PM, go to dinner/drinks at a nearby restaurant, then badge back in a 9PM and order a car. :-) This behavior was noticed by the badge police and we was soon looking for a new job. :-)
>They developed hardware optimized to run FORTRAN, including machine instructions that directly implemented FORTRAN's distinctive 3-way branch operation [=Arithmetic IF]

Hahaha oh wow. That's amazing. Fun fact:

Arithmetic IF makes handling exit codes significantly less annoying¹, and that's because Arithmetic IF is how we came to get signed integers as exit codes in the first place.

¹at least in theory, in practice half the people implement the codes incorrectly because they don't realize this, and so…
While I'm not familiar with Epic, large private companies I've been involved with in the past often have an internal market that has an independent auditor set the stock price and the company provides liquidity by authorizing a pool of money for buying and selling shares.
At high altitude you do this stuff "When you set your altimeter to 29.92, you're flying at standard pressure altitude."

The idea is all the planes use the same setting so the one at FL35 doesn't hit the one at FL36. But those are not exactly 35000 and 36000 feet above sea level.
This is what I used to do (and what my father still does). Essentially if you don't have 20+ years of history you appear to be doomed on this. Adding DKIM / SPF even configured correctly didn't seem to do much good.
i bet you’ve upgraded your rail gauge geometry since original construction.

i’m much less confident that we have. or redone the tunnel layouts, hence all the squealing.
It makes you wonder what other proposals actually were killed at an early stage that would have succeeded brilliantly had they been funded.
We recently went back into the office mandatory 3 days a week.

Our offices are generally small, so people hold the door for each other and that kind of thing.

I told everyone.. scan your badge at door/lock swipes every chance you get.
The point is many are blaming [BigCorp] while still consistently being early-adopters of their products.
You're making an unsubstantiated claim that's irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

You're also making assumptions about the motive behind my statements of fact to convince yourself or others that I'm wrong without disputing the relevant details of my comment.

There are vanishingly few instances of a natural monopoly occurring out of thin air and remaining a monopoly. In fact, there's a strong argument that regulatory capture is the cause of the more egregious examples of long-standing monopolies, which would not have continued to exist were it not for the burdens of entry creating through coordination with the monopolistic entities.

In our current political environment, it's hard to argue anything we face is actual capitalism as opposed to cronyism.
Jamboard inherently required the cloud, so I'm not sure what your point is.
We ship Windows CPU only at the moment.

We don't support Windows GPU because we haven't had the engineer bandwidth to support it well.

We recommend WSL2 for GPU on Windows at the moment because that is a compromise: it allows CUDA support, without us having to support another release variant.

But we welcome community contributions!
You seem to be focusing on something quite beside the point. Anyway.

Under communism, China went from being "the sick man of Asia" to the most economically successful and politically powerful country in Asia, no?

It's the greatest single power on Earth other than the USA, no?

But perhaps under a capitalist regime China might have had even greater success?

Well, let us see:

How does one compare the stumbles of early Communist China to the consistent failure of capitalist India? Which path would you have preferred for your country?
>Advertising on social media platforms is horrendous - no one wants to see an ad, ever, //

Something like Instagram is all ads, isn't it. But people do want to see the ads because they're mostly "content". I devour ads for Creality 3D printers which look like "how to make this neat gizmo". Similarly I love ads for outdoor gear that are couched as "how to tie this knot" or "how to make a Swedish candle fire without wire". And the "how to make this pottery" which is really, 'my pots are awesome, buy some'.

Just recently I've been into adverts for comedian's tours on Facebook, which are little 2-5 minute excerpts from their routine.

So, yeah. I don't think I'm an outlier.

I'm with the person suggesting "show them how to do it for themselves" as a pretty good advert, but I've not looked at the OP yet, maybe they'll give away the crown jewels.
Isn't this literally how employment works? If I'm sitting in the office not doing my job, I get fired. (Pay docked to zero, in a way.)
This is fun. I used to build these REST APIs for airlines (not Southwest though). Fun to see them get some attention!
Government regulation is what created and propped up Solar Winds.

I have to believe it's possible, but I have never seen any reasonable proposal for government regulation of infosec. Even disclosure requirements become bullshit and only harm everyone faster than they can get published.

The one thing the RPi needs that it doesn’t have is some sort of lights out management.
If you don't like the idea, you don't have to do it. I mean you're making games. There's not much money in that to begin with.
EU Galileo, RU GLONASS, and CN BeiDou constellations all continue to operate but GPS receivers are not allowed to receive their broadcasts within the United States for political reasons only.

They still do, it's called the "Surface Hub" line, currently at "Surface Hub 2" - integrates with Teams and other apps.

However - recent changes in "management" and direction with Surface hardware products/division may impact this in the near future.
> People just love to hate

no, people are suffering themselves, competitive pressures, personal failure and doubt, but more the external F-U response.. drugs like alcohol also play a part.. What is true is that without actual interaction, the social filters change quickly
You can't have this discussion on HN.

It is firmly established precedent here that murdering people and burning down buildings is a superior form of protest to slightly inconveniencing commerce.

I don't know what you thought you'd accomplish arguing on the basis of net harm on this site, but that doesn't happen here. You need to only understand the oppressor/oppressed dynamic. Protesting injustice against ten million gainfully employed oppressors is unacceptable. Protesting injustice against a single violent criminal is praised.

Your downvotes are well and truly deserved. Not for being wrong, which you're not, but for not knowing your audience.
Food Delivery Robots Are Feeding Camera Footage to the LAPD
I agree. Especially since this can make very easy clickbait headlines.

I mean it has blown up enough that even my mom texted me “your dad read an article about the iPhone 15 heating up”. Lovely.
You sure? I tend to think in terms roughly like this when I'm selecting a JOIN: https://dk81.github.io/dkmathstats_site/set-theory-sql.html

Eg (A LEFT JOIN B) = (A ∩ B) + A

Maybe I'm missing something though.
I went to buy my grandmom a phone last week. Just wanted a basic one. I am not tech person, nor do I follow whats going on in phone land.

So the sales guy lays out a bunch of the "low end" phones price wise. This one has 4 cameras, but this is better for low light conditions, and this one is better for video stabilization etc etc. I must have seen 10 phones and each one, he is talking about features grandma doesn't need. So I am standing there wondering what am I even paying for? Does no one who builds phones have grandmoms?

I start asking him that. His boss shows up and 2 other sales guys join the debate. And everyone agrees the marketers and advertisors love to Target that part of the population who is willing to shell out the most. And when all of the marketers, target the most lucrative group and forget the rest, this is where we end up.

Something is really wrong about that.

I dont understand how we get to a place where resources are allocated to build things that people dont actually need?
Can they at least continue working as 55 inch monitors or is Google going to deliberately contribute to global warming?
I've never worked someplace that enforced individual badging. I know it happens at secure/government installations.

> wine is the only software tool that will never ever be useful running on windows

Intel was actually including Wine code in their Arc graphics drivers to translate DirectX 9 calls to Vulkan, because they didn't have performant native DirectX 9 drivers. It's a pretty common trick for Arc users to drop the latest DXVK DLL into the directory of a game that is having issues with the graphics card.

Using Wine DLLs is also a good way to resurrect games built on the obsolete DirectDraw API on modern versions of Windows.
Or instead of gold they can just trade the empty cans and if you happen to have enough of a functioning society they can also just trade on debt (see Tallysticks [1]).

Investing in gold as a hedge for the collapse of society is imo a really piss-poor idea. Either invest in stuff you can use (i.e. food) or stuff that will be demand (Ham radios, firearms). Gold is just not going to be the future medium of currency there isn't enough of it in practical sized values.

CoreWar is a great game!

But I am not sure its very similar, I got a lot of inspiration from the WarGames (1983) movie https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086567/

The whole project started as an attempt just to teach assembler, and the game was actually zero choice game like Snakes And Ladders, you have 5 instructions per turn, but on certain places you have to roll a dice and follow the branch: https://punkx.org/overflow/build/snakes-and-ladders.pdf

But then after watching WarGames I thought I can make something where you can just write on top of your opponent's memory.

CoreWar has very different dynamics and I think anyone who has not tried it is missing out.

At some point I thought to actually make the game real-time, as in you can move as your opponent moves, (SMP instead of time sharing like it is now, where you get context switched out in 10 moves), but it was too chaotic. Maybe with the esp32 helper it can be done and be fun.
Yes, retiring age will be delayed, like the politicians are already doing.
"you used to be cool man. You changed man!"

Seriously I grew up playing his games as a kid and when I saw his name in the credits there was a certain warm and tingly feeling of respect and adulation. And now this. I get it shareholders are always #1. Still...
Why didn’t you go to ReportItNow like our training has been telling people to do for years?
In reality the only upgrade from the 14 Pro Max to this one is 3x to 5x zoom and USB-C.

And while I absolutely love USB-C, I do have a whole collection of lightning cables. Something in my way of using my iPhone(s) make pin 4 wear out insanely fast. Maybe it's because I carry it with me in the shower / hot tub.

Not sure how the USB-C variant deals with the pitting.

The button on the side and the titanium are a change, but not an upgrade. In fact, I would say the button is a downgrade from the old rocker. You could, in your pocket flip the rocker and know your phone was now on silent mode. Now you have to rely on vibration patterns.
Like clockwork, women in tech continue to beg for our community to hold a reasonable standard for how half the humans on earth should be treated when they choose to work in this industry.

Woohoo RS and thank you for your contributions. But one of those contributions is being a living example of how brilliant and highly valuable people in this field can still need to learn the basics on how to treat other people with respect. For the women he's mistreated, it's very unfortunate they had to play a role in that collective lesson. The least we can do is not ignore it or rationalize it away.

On that note, I just don't appreciate or frankly understand the repeated insistence from some people that this is some kind of scheme, there is some kind of conspiracy to complain about successful contributors for mistreating the people around them. This take especially makes no sense to me when the mistreatment is well known and documented. Like, some of us don't want to be treated like shit! So we bring it up when the community lauds praise around someone who does! I don't think this is related to some personality complex held by RS' inferiors with a compulsion to tear down his achievements. Most of the time when I see these criticisms voiced, they are actually wrapped in a highly-polite package that includes heaps of praise besides.
It's capitalism and greed.
This is abismal advise (and potentially self-serving advise, if you work in the industry) to give. As ever, there are nuances; "only a Sith speaks in absolutes" and all that.

#1. You have no privacy ONLINE. Providers have perverse incentives to sell you out down the river. Therefore, you DEFEND yourself by keeping a shallow online presence. If you are a casual user, you keep as little information online, specially in social media, as possible. If you need an online presence, you ASSESS the risks and pay time and money to MITIGATE those risks. If you don't see a Return-Of-Investment on those mitigation efforts, chances are you have been CONNED into thinking you need an online presence, but you probably DONT.

#2. There is no ABSOLUTE security. All possible defense measure CAN be circumvented, not not necessarily WILL be circumvented. You ASSESS as many risks as you can imagine, and MITIGATE only those where you expect a positive ROI. The ones you don't mitigate, you ASSUME. The ones you cannot afford to assume, you DO NOT TAKE by refusing to use the system.

#2.a Corollary to #2. If you take ZERO risk management, you still have a BASELINE level of security based on the risk-reward analysis by the criminogenic/sociopath portion of the population; they will not attempt an invasion if they do not expect to get away with it, or to gain something out of it. The more cynical people in the know claim there's no security, the more this baseline approaches zero and the more vulnerable the general population is.

#2.b Even if you are not part of the general population, the lower the BASELINE, the more time and money you PERSONALLY have to invest in risk management to achieve a bearable level of safety. Cynicism is costing US time and money, pal; don't pee/shit on the village's wheel just because it looks edgy!!!

#3. All your CURRENT digital information is already public or will become public AT SOME POINT. You can do better and pick the technologies that will push that point FURTHER into the FUTURE. And for not yet digitalized information, you may make conscious decisions whether the convenience is worth the risk.
Just for context, your responses read here as full of sarcasm and self assurance. I think your ideas might be more well received if you communicated them with a kinder and more accepting tone. For what it's worth it does sound like you spend a lot of time in toxic online communities, and i believe you have an expertise in those areas.
