Could be that parents who are able to homeschool have the financial means to not have to work. Kids from affluent places tend to do better relative to those with lesser means. Solving this is very challenging, but there are clear correlations between socio-economic classes when it comes to education.
That's the point. It is a feature, not a bug. the extra pain and work allows airlines to sell to one person for 2X and another at 1X.

It is the same as coupons at grocery stores.
I recently got really frustrated with Firefoxes almost invisibly thin scrollbar. Messed around in about:config and managed to make it fatter, but it made all the scrollbars inside web pages also fatter - not what I wanted at all. I'll try if only changing what was mentioned in the article helps with that.
Bring back reasonably sized scrollbars, please.
I believe the push for passkeys is another avenue for this.
One mayor difference between Uber and Open AI is that fundamentally openeyes technology will get cheaper for them to run, hardware wise and software wise. They just need to hold their position long enough for variants of Moores law to kick in.

An open firmware for inertial flywheel based bike static trainers: https://github.com/tuna-f1sh/wiredhoo

It started as a wired replacement for wireless communications by emulating an ANT+ USB stick; the host software thinks the packets are being sent wirelessly.

Then it become more of an exploration into how inertial trainers calculate input torque only from the known properties of the flywheel. In theory it could become an open firmware for any trainer, since the hardware is largely the same. I never really finished tuning the functions to estimate the power from the flywheel RPM.
I find `overflow: scroll` is the worst (fair, it has it's uses), but I'm perplexed by seeing sites that has scrollbars on Windows when content absolutely perfectly fits on the screen.

Regularly do I visit sites that's infested with scrollbars, because every second element have this set - but it looks good on macOS, right?
"don't theme my app" is not about users theming their apps, but instead against distros theming by default and more importantly the expectation that you could theme every app with a generic theme.
Putting people into classes based on age not ability. It's worse for everyone, we know this, but it's impossible to get it changed.
Ah yes, Apple support. It's been decades, sure things must have changed now, but as an anecdote. Back then my wife and me both used computers for work at home. I had a Dell, she had an Apple. When my Dell needed repair, a technician would come to the house next business day (it was a standard support option you clould choose back then even for their 'consumer' line) and perform the task. When her Mac needed repair, the only option was to deliver it by hand to the Apple store in town, and then you could pick it up again in 2 weeks. There was no other option. That was the last time she used an Apple product for work.
I found that on Debian 12 (13th Intel Framework 13) connecting a 4K external display via HDMI is definitely more stable than USB-C. I also tried some Windows games with Steam Play and HDMI enables higher resolutions on the display (that was not the case with USB-C, I don’t know why).

Also interesting that $100m would have bought 1,506 teacher years. It makes me think that philanthropy doesn't work as well as some would make out. This is another example of rich people wasting money on things they know nothing about. If it had been paid in tax it could have been spent on more teachers by people who do know what they are doing. This would have had a real benefit for kids even with some degree of inefficiency and waste.

A bicycle computer. Hackable. Open source software. Off the shelf hardware.

ARM microcontroller, 100% Rust, Bluetooth (not yet).

I have had a bike computer nearly 3 decades ago, but the dream to have the distance counter reset automatically has remained unfulfilled. I could either get a fixed-function calculator or 100% closed overpowered gadget. Why can't I have some fun myself?!?

Thankfully, now we have cheap, reverse-engineered smart watches. I found a pretty decent, sunlight-readable one, and now I'm hacking away!

The big TODO is speeding up development by switching from TockOS to RTIC, and implementing a minimal Bluetooth Low Enegy stack.

Currently on hiatus because it's bike season and I'd rather spend my time outside :)

Apple has a process to remove Activation Lock with proof of purchase documentation:

I don't know why the process failed for the OP.

How do you do that glancing at an always visible scroll bar?
This is the most intensely 90s software aesthetic I have ever seen.

Edit: Holy shit, Bryce! I think I had that on my family PC. We were really into Myst and Riven at the time and I guess someone thought it would be fun to try to make our own 3D worlds. It turns out that making digital art actually requires art skills and I don't think I ever created anything with it.
The colloquial is "drive truck", interestingly!
Yes! Prompts are super finicky.

You have to create a prompt/function that for a wide set of inputs, generates a token sequence that will perpetually expand in a manner that corresponds to an externally observed truth.

Way too often it feels like you have to shove a universal decoding sequence into a prompt.

“Talk your steps, list your clues, etc.”

Just trying to luck into a prompt that keeps decompressing the model/ generating the next token that ensures the next token is true.*

I recall there was a paper with a relevant title recently… https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.10668

Basically - LLMs don’t reason , they regurgitate. If they have the right training data, and the right prompt, they can decompress the training data into something that can be validated as true

——-

* Also this has to be done in a limited context window, there is no long term memory, and there is no real underlying model of thought.

Because they live in a functioning society where mislaid things are generally returned to their owner with no harm done?

Con: The FCC will also be able to find your things!
Yes. AirTags which are separated from their owner beep unless they are in a designated “ok to be left here” location.
Why should they have to do that?
There's sorta a meta question here. If a product gets released, and some use it for nefairous uses, how much is the company at fault?

Even though airtags are tracking devices, they are legitimately useful.

Kinda reminds me of the NSO situation, where they supposedly only gave access for a specific set of legal reasons. Then the client decided to use it in a nefarious manner anyway.
It’s not Apple’s fault that people don’t RTFM and disable the locks before getting rid of their old devices. It’s absurd to claim this is Apple’s MO or that it would make a dent in their numbers. If you have proof, show us the receipts. That whole article is mostly hand waving trying to hide the few words that admit that, yes, it was the previous owner that left it locked.

If it were that easy to break into a $3000 product, and the stolen goods market intensified, then that’s more laptops Apple has to make because more victims must replace their equipment. So your environmental argument breaks even at best. Which scenario would expend more natural resources?
You usually have to pay money to get rid of batteries or larger stuff like TVs and especially toxic stuff. One cent probably was the highest bid.
Been a while since I actually looked at one of my aliexpress customs labels, but they tend to arrive as “electronic gadget - $5” or something very generic and undervalued like that.

Definitely a “they can’t inspect them all” aspect to it.
Lower costs but keeping low rate limits. Increase rate limits first, please.
Small claims court? Certainly you’ll want to dispute the $95 charge. Assuming there is no third party software that can fix it.

While I appreciate the security implications for Apple of reversing Activation Lock when they can't verify that you are the current, legitimate owner of the hardware (given Find My hasn't been set up), there is something intensely frustrating about the idea of a perfectly functional piece of hardware becoming unusable because of a software lock.

Perhaps Apple should consider making Find My mandatory? I can't imagine this is the only case where this has happened.
Most of the strategies started in a year, perhaps still need to watch more and try with some small investments first. If the results are still good in 2-3 years, there is no reason to not invest more with those stable yields.
>Whatever happened in the past doesn't justify brutality and savagery against civilians.

Good, now can someone say this to Israel, that is killing hundreds of civilians right now?
Ask HN: Anyone Using MacBook Air M2 24GB for Developement?
I am planning to change my Macbook as it is old and Intel-based.

Current problems:
- Cannot do Video calls with share screen - live coding - because it gets throttled
- Cannot use both laptop display and external monitor - because it gets throttled

I have an external fan that I use to be able to do serious work. The current laptop has 64GB of RAM, but I don't think RAM is the issue.

I am considering buying a MacBook Air 15 with 24GB because I want to carry something light as I have back pain.

So my question is:
- If you are using MacBook Air M2 for development, what are you running on, and did you encounter any issues?

I am concerned about it being fanless and, thus, probably going easy to throttle.
Yep I got into the habit of doing that because I run XP in a virtual machine for legacy junk. I actually had opportunity to run classic MacOS recently and realize that I largely prefer the 10.x UI especially once they started toning down the decorations. Classic MacOS got a lot of things right that are missing in current operating systems, but man is it ugly.

Generate React code from any design system with a simple text prompt. Trying to figure out if the code output is more useful or if the design "inspiration" is more useful. Would appreciate any feedback!
Yeah, that's also an issue: developers on Macs not realizing that other setups have visible scrollbars.

So they have overflow bugs in their webpage, but they're masked by the lack of visible scroll bars to them. Other users however see a broken site.

And of course blame their browser, so even more browsers/setups hide their scrollbars to not be blamed..
You could use the people that are currently wasting their time on Zuckerberg's project, since he is laying them off anyway.

In fact you could tax the money off Zuckerberg and then he would have to give up on other ridiculous personal projects like the multi- billion dollar metaverse shambles. That would free up loads of people who have wasted years of their lives as a billionaires play thing
True. But it's important to note that it is likely that, given the requirements of creating large, functioning systems of administration, it might be true that all governing systems are trying to solve the same types of problems.

And it's worth remembering that, even in the US there exist examples of people who pushed for real change to these systems, and ended up detained, dead or simply disappeared.

It might also be worthwhile to consider the following well known allegations: revolving door appointments between bureaucracy and companies that it interfaces with and regulates; compromise of politicians by various interest groups using bribery or blackmail; the effects of corporate lobbying and donations to distort the legislative and electoral processes; the powers of unelected career bureaucrats whose tenures often outlast elected officials.

It's important to recall that the US is not alone is allegedly suffering from these maladies, but that it might suffer from them ought be a cause for concern.

Such considerations seem to raise the question of whether the president (and associated democratic and elected apparatuses) are in some way figureheads designed to provide a focus and an outlet, but may also function to protect the overall system against substantial reforms.

Such a description may help explain why processes in democracies often stagnate.

The is not to say that the Chinese system is "better" in any sense (our first consideration indicates that perhaps all large governing systems must essentially be the same), but it might be more honest about what it is.

This gives rise to the sense that democracy, at least in part, may be a deception that usefully provides people the illusion of a voice for change, while at the same time protecting the governing system by ensuring people do not seek more disruptive methods to alter it.

Of course, the flipside is, without such less disruptive avenues, people are then without peaceful recourse. This means that in the Chinese system, the government knows it faces the threat of revolution, which, while it could be thought to function as a kind of guidance of, or check-and-balance on, its power, is also responded to by the system itself becoming more draconian and authoritarian, in order to protect itself, if that makes sense?

So in the US, the system protects itself with what may be described as a generally more peaceful and free society, with what be a somewhat deceptive democracy (of course more authoritarian exceptions are occasionally made to neutralize true rabble rousers), whereas in China, the system protects itself more overtly, with a generally more authoritarian and restrictive society, which is more open about what it is.

The point of this comparison is to foster more mutual understanding and less false-differences that fuel unnecessary divisions and distort discussions with fallacies, in an attempt to try to guide discussions along more productive directions, based on realities.
When I first started playing I had the same reaction as you. I was trying to win and the rules didn't seem clear. I continued not because I liked the game, but because I enjoyed the company of my friends, even if the activity didn't make sense to me.

Now, whether as DM or player, I enjoy it not as a game to win, but as a story to explore. Like an interactive movie. Even when I am the author of the plot as DM, I can't predict what my players will do, and it becomes an enjoyable discovery as they force plot twists from their end.
It really isn't, it's basically `git send-email --to=linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org -1` – how's hard?

Oh, sorry, you actually need to figure out the maintainers, so you can send it directly to them too to get it reviewed faster, so yeah a call to `./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f <files>` ok, now it got impossible for the modern dev – cannot expect those are able to actually understand basic systems.

Then reply to the review replies you get, if there's still anything to change, how would gerrit making that easier in any way?

Such a funny product of frustration, love it!!
I would like to see a citation, because that sounds like right wing propaganda to me.
Paul Stamets is a great story teller, but he’s regarded as a quack among the scientific community. Going on Joe Rogan and alluding to some conspiracy that would bring him harm for warning people of the truth about eating mushrooms is particularly silly, because in doing so he communicated the warning he supposedly had to hide. Are we supposed to believe the conspirators they would harm him are okay with him telling everyone to avoid portabello mushrooms as long as he doesn’t reveal why?
Why? It sorts so nicely!
Surely building your search engine required you to acquire new skills? Presumably your motivation to build a good search engine drove you to learn things you otherwise wouldn’t have.
Never underestimate the allure of status symbols. For the longest time I thought the same thing of the iPhone. Why would people spend so much when they can get Android for considerably cheaper ? It's the status stupid. Of course, now they are ubiquitious and no longer really much of a status symbol, but if you go back a decade, you'll know what I'm talking about. The same will happen with VR as the tech improves and prices drop a bit.

No way would they unlock a device like this for your relative. It's odd that they won't unlock it even for the original owner. In what cases do they even plan to unlock these devices?
DJB is obviously a talented cryptographer, but he’s also clearly got a big ego.

He’s drawing unfounded conclusions to discredit the work of other cryptographers whose work was chosen over his own.

You don't need to weak cryptography to work towards that end with passkeys.

For key pairs that can be transferred, it's no different than the threat of password managers stealing your keys to the castle. You just have to trust the cloud and your entire hardware and software stack your password and passkey manager run on, and/or that nothing in that stack gets swapped out without you noticing.

Similarly, I've yet to see a hardware security key that you can verify doesn't have backdoors compiled or soldered in. All the cryptography in the world doesn't matter if a government/whoever can just pop your Yubikey in a machine that does whatever magic incantation is needed to dump your keys. That magic incantation can even be secured with strong cryptography to ensure only the US government/whoever can use it.

How is this even remotely acceptable?
True, but at the same time, it's not performing the function that was advertised upon which the purchasing decision was made. A reasonable person would believe that if it wasn't subject to physical harm (impact, water, heat, excessive voltage, etc.) then it would perform the advertised functions for a certain useful life. "Anyone who briefly possesses it can destroy that function without physical harm" wasn't advertised. IANAL but I think a judge would see it this way.
Hard to know without running the experiment again without the controls to see how much more theft would result were they not in place. I doubt the theft issue would be better without them.

You are just letting the perfect be the enemy of the good by demanding absolute results.
Great work! I've made a few jank theory practice apps for guitar and pedal-steel guitar, and know exactly what you mean when there's that impulse to start to automate things that are really just too subjective.

> Needless to say, I never really learned to play ukulele…

Funny you say that, I actually do think making the tools made me better at the instruments. Being forced to sit and seriously consider things like the most optimal way to change chords is the kind of music theory that I always struggled to think of in the moment on the instrument.
No passkeys are based on whatever the best crypto is -- for example in a world where quantum computers are practical then they'll be using a quantum safe algorithm.

Spy agencies, law enforcement, and criminals would all much prefer people use easily guessable and/or unsafely stored passwords. Those are both easier to discover, easier to brute force, and easier to intercept (specifically all you need to do is intercept a password once as it's definitionally not based on a single time exchange).
Unsurprising really. I've only ever seen LabVIEW running on Windows machines. Hopefully this will allow them to ease up a bit on maintenance work and tackle some of their long, long overdue technical debt. Perhaps they can have a file format that's compatible with version control instead of using a modified version of the Macintosh resource fork format, for one.
This is the workflow my company uses. It seems to work ok, but it’s hard to maintain discipline around using this pattern consistently
The fact that NIST is not transparent is enough to assume that anything related to cryptography that NIST touches is compromised.

Frankly, I would assume any modern encryption is compromised by default - the gamble is just in who compromised it and how likely it would be that they want access to your data.
I don’t think you can really compare that. The streaming service market is not elastic because you cannot easily interchange one series for another.

If other vendors LLMs become good enough it will actually be easily to interchange and then the race for the best UX and integration will be upon us (which the other commenter alluded to).
Maybe, but I know that Google or Samsung don't care about me. There has never been any pretence that Hoover give much more than a Walmart greeter level of concern for you, Microsoft would throw you under a bus for an extra cent.

Americans seem to think that Apple really cares about them and not just in a way to extract as much as possible from your wallet.
This is why I love wired headphones. Even if I lose them, I can replace them quickly for a lot less than $250 and I never have to worry about syncing or batteries or disconnecting or any of the other problems that routinely plague bluetooth devices.
