My first eBook was Dracula on a Compaq iPAQ 3630. At the time, it blew my mind both that I could read a full book on it, and that the book was free!

It occurs to me that, though I've read Dracula a few times, to this day I've never done so in a "normal" manner. Right now we're nearing the end of "Dracula Daily", so the tradition continues.
> Businesses will gladly move to some walled garden to avoid this

I support this entirely. One of the largest reasons why the internet is getting much worse with time is that businesses want to use it. Getting them off the open internet would eliminate a fair amount of nastiness and might return some of what we've lost.

The H/PC market was, in my opinion, doomed in part by refusals of manufacturers to innovate hardware, in particular the displays. At the end makers were shipping devices with 400mhz processors and built in wifi and Bluetooth but they still featured the same dogshit 640x240 DSTN screens.
Thanks, is there a summary of this methodology somewhere? Some established climate forecasting textbook? A good literature review?

Ho man. Clearly you’ve never sat in family court for any length of time.

Marriage turns dysfunctional dynamics from small time private affairs into society mediated wars of attrition.

It stops nothing and magnifies the damage and misery one party can inflict on another in worst case scenarios.

A typical Silicon Valley contested divorce costs $250-450k, and 5-10 years before it concludes last I checked.
They didn't intend it, but they should have since they'd probably end up with a better end-user experience ala Rockbox/LineageOS. The community added some cool features and worked around some glaring bugs until Mazda clamped down by specifically nuking the mods on updates. God forbid anyone embarrass them by making their crappy software better, like pausing a stream when "Mute" was hit instead of letting the stream run while muted. How about this? If you used a USB stick full of music it showed the files in FAT order, not sorted by filename or ID3 tags. It would also just randomly forget the resume point, and revert to playing the "first" file on the disk. So instead of Amon Amarth blasting my ears in this case, I had to both create a file named "0000Silence.mp3", and run a special command after every disk update to rewrite the FAT so the FAT order equaled alphabetical order.

I'm not a "hater" of Apple, I think they were just too expensive for me long time ago.

> For most users, a single core CPU running at 30GHz would appear faster than 32 cores running at 2GHz.

This is not certain except for single threaded programs not accessing main memory, for which this claim is trivial and mostly academic. It is well-known that increase of frequency of CPU by a factor of k does not always result in equal factor k for increase of performance, mainly because of memory access speed not increasing in the same way.

"Appear faster" depends on instruction translation, exploitation of paralelism and memory access speed getting faster in some commensurate way, and nobody has yet built a machine doing those all those things at close to 30GHz to see how fast they are. It's possible that while very small CPU can possibly run at 30GHz, other bigger and more distant ingredients can't, e.g. main memory (heat and frequency causing too many errors to be practical). Already the present-day CPUs are too fast for the main memory they use. In intensive data processing, often CPU wastes most of the time waiting for memory. Making it wait faster won't help performance.
FPGAs are pretty slow clockwise compared to a cpu, their main advantages is that they can work with many different kind of clocks and somewhat massively parallel. Do you have any specialized task you are thinking about?
How so? I usually have 200-600 browser tabs open for weeks on Windows/ryzen 5000

It's also unclear (to me, perhaps not to others!) if the conversion from O(2^n) -> O(2^n/2) means it will be faster in practice on quantum hardware.

> Reassessing Grover's Algorithm

The proposal of this paper is that Grover's does not mean we need to double the size of symmetric keys to account for QM but that just a few extra bits are enough to prevent it from being efficient.

Of course, there may be new QM algorithms that don't suffer and, again, it's best to start preparing now and not later. But I think it's noteworthy for the discussion about quantum preparedness.
> Microsoft works with thousands of vendors every year. There are lots of different terms under which they license software.

This is a cart before the horse thing. How MS licenses software in the past has no bearing on adding a new open source license.

The only time this would be a problem is distributing 3rd party source code. Which, AFAIK (and this is windows we are talking about) pretty much only happens in the drivers.

Windows CE didn't come bundled with steam or really hardly anything. That was sort of the point of CE is it had almost nothing on it.

Being an open platform with user-generated-content it has content covering basically anything kids are interested in and can react very quickly to incorporate "content" from whatever is currently trending.

They've taken the Facebook / PHP "it sucks but we move fast and have a very low barrier to entry" ethos and applied it to gaming, aimed at a very young audience (my kids of 7 & 10 and all of their friends play it) and - with their horrific monetization - are killing it.
IIRC, you can make it look however you want, if you put enough time into development. I think the reason people stick with the default character look is so that people can use their purchased ingame assets in the thing you made.

So much of RyanAir is indistinguishable from a scam... fees for on-site checkin combined with a 2-hour cutoff for online checkin; dark patterns pushing people towards double-paying for baggage fees; etc.
Sure. It’s also self destructive and often destructive to the one being ‘helped’ when taken to extremes (like most things).

The history of aid to Africa causing economic disruption and further long term misery being a good example.
>Does it mean that we should sell alcohol without age verification?

That has an objective standard and a clear harm to children (and adults, but we're not able to prevent it). Meanwhile, there would definitely be a wide range of relatively harmless content arbitrarily not on your whitelist.

>Instead of one "safe mode" there could be several, for example "safe for all", "safe for teens" etc.

This is a good improvement on your idea, but it won't fix a lot of the issues people have with it.

>I am sure they will pass the certification for safe content.

Not the anime or cartoons I would have wanted to watch as a minor. The Simpsons, Family Guy, do I need to go on to South Park or Rick and Morty? Banned, there's sexuality and violence. Kids want these and will work around it.
Anticipation of what? Microsoft has "supported" ARM as far back as Windows RT, but developers and integrators don't care. The hardware didn't (and still doesn't) sell, and every usable core design is either from the stone age or completely proprietary. Somehow, x86 SOCs are easier to iterate on.

Dotnet supports Apple Silicon for the same reason it supports AArch64-Linux; it's a real user platform. Windows-on-ARM is really not, and it won't get the attention it needs until attractive hardware is ready to ship.
They were obviously joking, it was probably funny to watch an American (?) believe all that.

More seriously, more people should be concerned about the Conservative party's disdain for the Human Rights Act and suggested intention to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights: https://www.theguardian.com/law/human-rights-act

(So you'll see the UK does have a list of rights, but like everything else it's a normal law that can be changed by Parliament in the usual way -- there's no special constitutional law requiring more effort to change, and/or a special court to uphold it.)

Good ol’ Manna
I like the sound of this! I play a lot of older games on my MacBook Air and one of my biggest annoyances is when the game gets the machine to heat up (and in previous iterations spin up the fan) despite being a very graphically undemanding game.

I think there are a lot of otherwise graphically simple games that poll or sit there in busy wait loops or render more frames than the display can show. It’s like they’ve been built for a resource starved environment and don’t know how to properly handle abundance. It’s really frustrating!
Mental breakdown or attempted terror attack. These days anything is possible.
I picked up an IBM WorkPad z50[1] in ~2000 at a fire sale price. It felt in many ways like good laptops do today: small, light, quiet (no fan nor spinning disk), instant-on, long battery life, reliable. I can see why people didn't buy them (new, they cost a good chunk of what a "real" laptop would, but couldn't do nearly as much, basically just run a very stripped-down version of Office), but I always had a fondness for that little machine and only realize how much of the user experience was ahead of its time when looking back on it.

I find it really sad that we no longer hold parents and communities responsible for just not. letting. their. kids. smoke. cigarettes.

Don't give your kid a pack of smokes. Don't let them buy things unsupervised.

Worried about them seeing classmates smoke? I think most schools these days don't allow smoking during school hours, so just pick your kid up immediately as school ends and at worst they're gonna see 10 minutes of smoking per day but that's a pretty ridiculous assumption.

Alternatively, instill good values and behaviors in your kid so that they will choose to avoid smoking.
This exact service exists, and has been featured on HN at least once!
Sure, but this is not particularly relevant when talking about a security product that you use to do key distribution and management (LetsEncrypt).

Why do 15 when $100, $250, or $1k would do the same trick?
The way the C committee does standardisation is so incredibly dumb. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to wait for 100+ vendors to happen to implement the same feature in the same way before putting it in the standard? As if a sane vendor would implement non-mandated extensions that hence won't be in other implementations so anyone who cares about portability won't use them anyway. The only explanation I can think of for the policy is it's a shield against criticism for not changing anything yet still getting a paycheck: "Nuh-uh! We're not allowed to do our job unless you do it for us first!"

I remember this author used to be angry at the committee for this, but now it seems they've redirected that anger to the vendors, which is just a nonsensical target for it. Not that I expect them to be sensible; they're loopy.
Moving to the closed app store ecosystem, and breaking app compatibility twice with the move from 6 -> 7 -> 8 definitely killed all developer momentum for their platform.

But the Metro UI on Window Phone 7 and the Zune HD was handsdown the best and smoothest smartphone UI I've used yet. It's a shame it was killed with the Windows 8 blunder.

The Nokia Lumia phones had some amazing hardware for the era too. Head to head with Apple and leagues better than the chintzy Android phones of the era.

Neither Apple nor Google have come close to replicating something as intuitive.

Speaking of game theory, there is probably a much lower number that achieves the same goal, though.

Your average attacker might be equally motivated to go for $20k, or $10k, or $5k. $1k, maybe not. $100, probably not. $1, almost certainly not.

There's an interesting game to play in minimizing the cost at no hit to efficiency.
Woah I'd have guessed that temperature sensors would be more accurate than that! Is it just an issue of cost, or are most affordable temp sensors that inaccurate and I've never realised it? That would explain a lot though!

What is “the average attacker”? If someone is compromising your entire password manager then that’s far from average and sophisticated

If OP is part of a bigger breach, those data dumps will almost certainly get analyzed automatically and multiple wallets swept at once. Passwords to interesting stuff likely aggregated and then tried. It’s not some script kiddy that browses through the vault 1by1
Like the parent said, the goal is efficiency not maximum power. And as another comment said, in practice the pros do not pull up. If there were even a minute gain in doing so, they would train themselves to do it (in fact some of them used to in the past before they figured out that it was a waste of time)
Big feedback/question: what's your basis for believing that companies that are currently doing a multi-round interview process will accept "watch a video and make an offer" as a replacement?

Bonus question: "we interviewed the candidate but then somebody different showed up Day 1" is already a problem for companies; your platform would (by reducing the number of interaction steps) make this easier - how do you intend to prevent that situation?

I think it depends on what accounts you read: If I only look at replies to accounts that I followed prior to Musk's takeover, then not much has changed. But that is likely because I only followed niche accounts. The moment I look at more popular accounts (news or what have you), then I see an overweight of blue-tick accounts that rarely have anything worthwhile to contribute
I think we're right on the precipice of a catastrophic shift in news/video/audio thanks to AI and deepfakes

Given how good deepfakes are now, how long before we have a video released to the major news outlets of the world of a world leader saying something very dangerous and scary. i.e. Putin could announce an all-out invasion of the US, Biden could announce aliens have landed and are here to exterminate us, etc. etc.

It could be something more benign like the NASDAQ has gone into a catastrophic dive never before seen, or that Tesla have been found to be breaking too many laws and are being shutdown effective immediately. (That might be a good way for the shorts to profit...)

I think it's literally a matter of months until it happens... and from that day forward we will never again be able to trust any video or audio recording. Ever.
I don’t know if you though about this but the first thing a hacker would do after gaining access to your 1password vault is export all data.

clearly recall the arts world of the 1970s. Manual arts, manual publishing tasks and the business around that employed many orders of magnitude more people in many large metro areas. Fast Forward to post-Lucasfilm digital era and the size of the largest media companies magnified by 1000x, while sign shops closed and local typesetting and design firms had to go digital or die. Fast forward again to post-covid, and I believe that you would be lucky to find a few of the earlier activities at all, in any city. Meanwhile games employ thousands of anonymous artists remotely, and very, very few individuals run their own business with any stability.

Digital arts has been a magnifier for the largest companies, and the literal death of thousands of stable, small business, in fifty years.

> So okay, all the artifacts take much more resources but even after consuming 100 times more compute resources why software is still excruciatingly slow?

It's not?

Software used to be way, way slower. I had a 386. I experienced things like seeing the screen redraw, from top to bottom in games running at the amazing quality of 320x200x8 bits. I've waited hours for a kernel build. I've waited many seconds for a floppy drive to go chunk-kachunk while saving a couple pages of Word document. I've waited minutes for a webpage to download. I remember the times when file indexing completely tanked framerates.

Today all of that is pretty much instant.

Seems like 1P took the right steps and is being transparent about the incident. It wasn't even an on their systems - but one of their vendors support systems. A lower quality organization would just conveniently not disclose the incident at all - justifying it by saying something along the lines of nothing was breached, it wasn't even our system. I think we should applaud 1P's transparency here. Or am I missing something?
