Funny I have seen neighborhoods in the suburbs around Portland, ME that I think would run liberal but boy there are a lot of trucks.

Oddly my son wants to be alt-right to rebel against us but he hates Tesla not least because of Musk’s poor character but also the general look and the touchscreen and smartphone integration.

In my experience, it is absolutely not safe to assume a correlation between these two sets of traits.

Not only is that not entirely obvious at first glance, it sounds like the kind of paper-thin plot device used in a Loony Tunes cartoon.

That it actually works is moderately surprising.
The security issues are already clearly warned about: the debug info must come from a trustworthy server. But I don't see why a black hat would choose this attack vector. They would have to wait for a developer to debug a binary with shared libraries, while fetching debug info from a a corrupted server. The developer would most likely be using a server provided by a distro (say, Red Hat/Fedora), and if a bad guy can replace the debuginfo files on such a server, they can just as easily replace RPMs directly and feed users malware.
I've only done interviewing for high tier companies, so my bar was pretty high, I wanted candidatws to be able to demonstrate knowledge and ability of a loop with a loop inside.

Our screening was pretty good, so most (but not all) candidates could demonstrate one loop, but an unfortunate number couldn't do the nested loop. shrug
I think you are absolutely right.

I also think I can't replicate patio11's success! He's a much better marketer and writer than me.

Does anyone know of attempts to add CPU instructions that allow JITs and compilers to mitigate Spectre by using speculation-safe instructions for safety critical checks? I could imagine a "load if less than" or similar instruction, which the compiler could use to incorporate the safety check into the load instruction and avoid a separate branch that could be mispredicted. Such an instruction would be documented to have no side effects (even timing side effects) if the condition were not met.

Depends on what you’re doing with it. For many things it will run fine off of a 3A 5V supply, which almost any usb-c adapter will do. But as soon as you start hanging any USB devices off of it, IIRC you need a 5A/5V supply which is unusual outside of the RPi-specific one.

"It is also pledging to train 300,000 Australians for jobs in cloud computing – based on the processing and storage of information at remote data centres – and artificial intelligence."

An ultimate lock-in. I wonder what those 300K are going to do? Play buttons in Azure?

“Australia is one of the world’s most advanced users of cloud technologies and this investment will keep us at the forefront.”

But it might not be your cloud, you know.
"npm" is a environment/scoped package manager. Saying "npm -g" when -g is a flag tell it to run in a non-default way (globally) is a bad argument.

From reading (not claiming this is legitimately the case or reason), this largely seems like a hit piece & a coordinated politically motivated change in advertising.

For instance, this Schreurs person appears to be suggesting where these companies advertise and is openly pushing companies not to advertise on X. Then claiming "their data shows them not running campaigns on X". Well yeah, duh, you're urging your particular customers not to.

> "We would welcome an official follow-up with supporting data in a time where trust and transparency are of critical importance," said Schreurs.

Why would X need at all to provide this to the Schreurs guy?

Then you have Media Matters weighing in the article as well:

> A review of data from Sensor Tower conducted by progressive watchdog group Media Matters

I personally haven't seen Twitter/X get any better or worse, it's just people posting. Frankly, a lot of this seems like over reaction. There was straight porn on twitter (still is) along with plenty of other unsavory stuff, again same as before Musk take over.

I do see a constant seething about the character of Musk & political speech regarding why everyone shouldn't like X/Twitter now. To me, that's what this is about -- "voting with dollars" so to speak.
I wonder how the long tail of murders per “neighborhood” looks in those other countries. It’s well-known that in America the vast majority of murders happen in tiny areas. And if one were to look at only the predominant race in America, the murder rate would match the best of the examples you just listed (3.0, the same as racially-homogeneous India).

That’s not to say that minority murder means less in any way, but on the contrary to question whether America records it to an extent other countries might not. I do not know if this is the case or not, and I don’t know how one might be able to tell. But I’ve personally been in slums of third world countries that the police would flat out refuse to answer calls to, and I can’t imagine anyone there was taking the time to report each death to the United Nations when even their own local police couldn’t give enough of a shit (/were too scared) to show up.
Of course we know there is a lot of potentially useful knowledge that came through practice over thousands of years.

As I said, it is not useful to be right about things when you are also wrong a lot and you can't tell which things are wrong and which are right.

Science gives us a way to sort wrong from right. Traditional medicine takes millenia of observation to arrive at simplest things that then can be easily forgotten or misused.

Our "regular" medicine might be wrong a lot and sometimes might even be taking steps back. But overall it is moving in the right direction at a truly lightning speed. It only seem slow to us because of our impatience but, objectively, it has done gigantic progress within just one generation.

Personally the more pressing matter is figuring out a way to make the state of the art medicine available to everybody.
In another 10-15 years, I think the computing landscape may be quite different. Much like 15 years ago, most people didn't own a smartphone, and the trend was people moving off desktops onto laptops.

On the one hand - game consoles are becoming more like PC's. More and more people are eschewing Laptops/Desktops outside of work in favor of only using mobile devices / game consoles. I certainly am increasingly hearing from friends that they don't own a computer at home - and one of these guys is a director of development.

I see this trend continuing - people just finding that they don't need more computing power at home than their mobile devices provide. I think docking a mobile device to use as a desktop environment will still be niche, but probably really impressive and finally ready for prime time for those interested in it.

Desktop Linux is a pipe dream, because like as not desktop computing itself will become less relevant. Relegated to the confines of your working life, and outside of that most people will be using controlled devices which are part of a locked-down ecosystem.

My 2 cents anyways.
Presumably there are areas/applications where "running" is important - otherwise we can just use a bicycle.
We can debate the exact length copyright should be (I favor 25 years), but that is the real question. If the copyright is expired, then you can, if not you cannot. I don't care if the artist is living or dead. A dead artist may have heirs (kids, wife...) that they expected to still be supporting except they happened to die.
> because I'm convinced my wife sees more colours than I do

A sizeable percentage of women have tetrachromy (5% ? I forgot the exact number but it's not nothing). AFAIR men do not have tetrachromy.

So, basically, some women do actually see more colours than all the men and than most other women.

Maybe your wife has tetrachromic vision? (not sure how it's called)
Could probably do it with ChatGPT. Take picture of building. Ask what it knows about it. Haven’t tried, but may work for some buildings. No GPS though.

I first saw some sort of cooler screen in a grocery store in Bangkok, I think around 2019. The door was actually transparent, it was just the pixel layer, no reflectors or lights (light coming from the luminance of delicious products lit themselves by traditional in-cabinet lighting). As I recall the imagery was a loop of a pleasant airline attendant-looking lady offering a coke bottle.

Not sure I have been to a drug store of any kind in a few years though. Are these different? Truly screens so you can't see what's in the cabinets?
It varies state by state:

States with certifying body and licensing requirements have legal protections on using terms such as naturopath, ND, etc.
The name La Niña originates from Spanish for "the girl", by analogy to El Niño, meaning "the boy". In the past, it was also called an anti-El Niño[1] and El Viejo, meaning "the old man."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Ni%C3%B1a

From the excellent The Wizard and the Prophet: Two Remarkable Scientists and Their Dueling Visions to Shape Tomorrow's World by Charles C Mann:

Andean peoples had long known that every few years the coastal climate shifted dramatically, with warm downpours inundating the cold, dry coast. Because the rains usually began around Christmas, Peruvians referred to them as El Niño, a Spanish nickname for the Christ Child. In 1891 three Peruvians—an engineer, a geographer, and a naturalist—separately figured out how El Niños worked. During these times, the Humboldt Current abruptly weakens, allowing warm equatorial water to surge close to the coast; the warm water heats up the normally cold coastal air, which allows it to hold more moisture than usual, which, in turn, causes heavy rainfall on the desert shore. . . . a climatic system that extended across much of the Pacific and influenced the weather as far north as Canada. But the worst effects occurred in coastal Peru, where floods washed away railroads, wiped out farms, and destroyed power stations, blacking out cities. Thousands of “dead guano birds” were incidental damage. El Niño, Murphy said, “brings sickness and death to the population of the Humboldt Current.”

The wording could be more clear. Written another way:

"a public entity may provide telecommunication services within its boundaries after issuing a request for competitive sealed bids to provide telecommunication services and receiving less than 3 qualified bids from private providers."

If you get enough bids, the assumption is that the price is competitive and therefore it's cheaper to use a private company and not have the gov't itself do the infrastructure work.
Ironically, irony is no longer possible here ...
True - on the other hand, that fear/principle could be applied to all algorithms that could theoretically be broke in the future. There's a lot of uncertainty concerning the scalability of quantum computers and quantum error corrections. In the neare future it seems more likely that the post-quantum algorithms might be broken (even on normal computers) compared to quantum computers cracking RSA/ECC (so one should at least combine to get the best of both worlds)
That just says that you can't call yourself a naturopath without a naturopathy license, but it doesn't mean you have to know anything about real medicine.
I have noticed a number of interesting submissions with good discussion get flagged recently. I'm not sure if something changed with HN or a few users have gotten aggressive with that button.

Does anyone know if there is a way to vouch for a submission, like can be done with a flagged comment?
I find these screens disorienting as hell. I'd leave the store empty handed only to be able to escape the screens in close proximity claustrophobia sensation that these make me feel.
> 1. one too many. 2. What about all the other non-removable wallpapers, apps and other useless-to-many OS components and data like graphics drivers for graphic cards that you'll never have on your locked down laptop?

Well, two can play at that game. Do you want me to make a list of all the drivers that come with a Linux installation that you will never use? What about packages? How much backwards compatibility within those packages is included that you will never use either? Fedora and Ubuntu come with like 2 dozen background images out of the box, everyone knows it shouldn't come with any and I should provide my own. Most Linux installations still come with drivers for floppy disks, those space-wasting maniacs!

Also, "locked down laptop" is a common nonsense argument because booting into Recovery Mode and doing `sudo csrutil disable` is all it takes to disable SIP and be able to mount the root partition. If you want to disable Gatekeeper, it's `sudo spctl --master-disable`. Super locked down, I tell you, when 2 commands is all it takes to burst all the locks. Saying macOS is locked down only shows the ignorance of the person saying it. Windows is arguably more locked down because it will violently prevent you from changing anything that the internal SYSTEM user doesn't want you to do.
I considered using jumping stilts to run to work rather than skating or cycling. However, the skill level required to master them sufficiently to run required more training than I was willing to put in.

I eventually ended up buying some shift.io moonwalkers, which do have quite a speed-up effect. The problem is that they're quite heavy and the walking motion required to use them effectively ended up requiring my anterior tibialis muscle to have more endurance than it does currently. Additionally, at higher speeds they're dependent on your foot stepping direction, which I have slightly outwards rather than in-line forwards, which causes a slightly skating motion when walking.

The quest continues on.
Honestly the whole DCMA takedown is worthless. They should just require a legal form of identification like a driver license, a credit card that matches the drive and a phone number. Problem solved. Any violations result in a federal fine of 100K. You would see this stuff stop real quick.

There is no reason for the anonymity of a takedown.
May I interest you in some AI sauce for those?
Noradrenaline tracks emotional modulation of attention in human amygdala
The noradrenaline (NA) system is one of the brain’s major neuromodulatory systems; it originates in a small midbrain nucleus, the locus coeruleus (LC), and projects widely throughout the brain.1
,2
The LC-NA system is believed to regulate arousal and attention3
,4
and is a pharmacological target in multiple clinical conditions.5
,6
,7
Yet our understanding of its role in health and disease has been impeded by a lack of direct recordings in humans. Here, we address this problem by showing that electrochemical estimates of sub-second NA dynamics can be obtained using clinical depth electrodes implanted for epilepsy monitoring. We made these recordings in the amygdala, an evolutionarily ancient structure that supports emotional processing8
,9
and receives dense LC-NA projections,10
while patients (n = 3) performed a visual affective oddball task. The task was designed to induce different cognitive states, with the oddball stimuli involving emotionally evocative images,11
which varied in terms of arousal (low versus high) and valence (negative versus positive). Consistent with theory, the NA estimates tracked the emotional modulation of attention, with a stronger oddball response in a high-arousal state. Parallel estimates of pupil dilation, a common behavioral proxy for LC-NA activity,12
supported a hypothesis that pupil-NA coupling changes with cognitive state,13
,14
with the pupil and NA estimates being positively correlated for oddball stimuli in a high-arousal but not a low-arousal state. Our study provides proof of concept that neuromodulator monitoring is now possible using depth electrodes in standard clinical use.
I think the one thing we can all agree on is that we're actually excited about something in tech again. Like for real, not in the "oh thats interesting now how can we make money" kind of way. It's been a long time, well over a decade since that's happened. The energy of SF in the late 2000s with the mobile boom was electric. Would be wonderful to experience that again.
good quality software (say, based on well designed, documented, tested etc. building blocks) can lower costs and improve speed to delivery in the longer run (less need to refactor, fewer bugs, easy to reuse, extend etc. etc.)

the trouble, empirically speaking, is that this "longer run" is not close enough to weigh on decisions :-)

You can easily look and confirm this. The current central valley part of the project is mostly grade separation projects. There is something like 30 of them. Not including a half dozen really major projects. Either where the line goes through a city, crosses a river, or over an existing rail line.

My take is there are a bunch of reasons to build the thing. None of them on their own is convincing but taken together it's reasonable.

Things like.

All the major airports in California are maxed out and expanding them would be near impossible or very expensive. You can look at costs to do that in non US countries. I think $15 billion for two runways at Heathrow. Imagine doing that times six.

Growing population in the central valley makes the current at grade rail crossings untenable.

I mean yeah it's not exactly a novel observation, but there is some subtlety in /how/ you attach springs to your legs which seems to be the primary contribution of the paper. The two naive options - referred to as "in series and in parallel" - don't see the same results as their proposal (which they discuss at some length in the intro). Their proposal is more about making the "springs on your legs" idea as effective as possible by using a hip attachment to adjust the loading/unloading cycle. By loading the spring with your leg while it's in the air you can improve the overall energy throughput of your gait. Other "springs on your feet" concepts (mentioned throughout the comments section) use a loading/unloading cycle that's 180 degrees out of phase with this (leg on the ground is doing the loading).

Snark is kind of the enemy of critical thought
Yes, that would be useful if I used homekit...
Yikes. This is the flight I take home from visiting family usually multiple times per year. Love PAE as an airport.
Sure, if you have enough altitude after you start the APU and reset the engines. The extinguishers contain halon or something equivalent, which will be cleared out when you spin up the engine.

But I doubt there's a procedure for it. If you have enough altitude to restart, you have enough altitude for an emergency landing. It's better to follow the checklist and land on a runway with no engines, where emergency equipment is available. Rather than getting creative and crashing in a field because you failed to restart them.
Guess we are stuck with surfline. I'd be interested in creating a competitor if I knew more about the data sources though - fun problem.
Fair enough. I've had to pass immigration and customs before (like everyone) so I suppose the advice of "be cool; act normal" is something everyone already does, so it can't be too hard.
Just like the subject of the article, the title is trying to be clever and interesting, all the while functionally degrading the experience.

You mean UV erasable EPROMs (window = for letting the UV in).

EEPROMs are erased electrically and thus don't have a window.

And in spite of the superlatives and exclamations, the author still didn't seem to get the hint that they should maybe go back to the drawing board. See their post which Matt Wilcox is replying to.

I've worked in environments where it was considered a little mean even to use the "request changes" button in GitHub, but it worked because people (1) got the hint when you left comments suggesting changes and (2) would be careful to address all of your suggestions before requesting review again. But I've also worked in an environment where people would try to sneak changes past you and then argue with you when they were caught. I don't think I've ever sworn in a code review comment but these days I can understand where Linus Torvalds is coming from. Things would be much nicer if people got hints and were careful, but we don't live in that world.

My friend tried to use a credit card in Japan, and instead of saying "no" the shopkeeper just bowed and said "excuse me." Meanwhile yesterday in San Francisco I saw a customer arguing with the cashier for five minutes at McDonalds about whether or not they could use a coupon twice.
Many-worlds etc. does not have such a limit. There are interpretations that posit that collapse is triggered by the system reaching a certain size (also GRW theory etc.). Such interpretations would preclude big quantum computers. Note that such interpretations aren't purely interpretations because they actually do posit measurable new physical phenomena. But since the relevant experiments are not currently possible to carry out and since they do have significant interpretational consequences, they are often called intepretations.
