Dotnet Core and Mono both supported AArch64 targets long before Apple Silicon existed, too. I think characterizing Microsoft as "lazy" in regards to RISC is wrong from a pragmatic point-of-view.
The popular narrative, including that being pushed by most western governments, is that COVID either never was or is no longer is dangerous, beyond the level of other common respiratory illnesses. This article begins from that (false) framing.

Hi, all, I’m Brandon. My team and I decided to build Fabriq after experiencing one too many headaches from working with the different document APIs that are out there today. One would have the functionality we needed, but then not have a good way to monitor and manage the API. The other would be the opposite. And so on.

So, we decided to build our own tool. Fabriq brings together a suite of powerful APIs for document-related functions, and a web app for setting up, using, and managing those APIs. The goal is to make it quick and easy to implement our APIs into any application, and then even easier to view your APIs in action.

As of today, we have APIs for document storage, virus scanning, file conversion, image recognition, and text analysis. In the future, we plan to add even more.

Would love to hear what everyone thinks!
I think the court does actually take into account why you refuse to answer. If it's "because I was waiting for my lawyer to arrive, and then I answered the question just fine", I'm not sure a court could rightly draw an adverse inference there.

The "we can infer guilt" seems to be more because there's a bunch of corner cases where an absolute right to silence CAN have kind of stupid outcomes. Many countries choose to accept those outcomes because they don't want to convict the innocent. Britain -otoh- seems to try to thread the needle here by giving the judge a bit of leeway.

But I'm not an expert on british law. I just online-searched the the heck out of it.

I implore you to study a lot of history from all over the world. History you like, history you don't like. History of democracy, history of authoritarians. History of kings and of the elected.

And I'm saying this because while things may be bad for you, in general they are better for more people than ever. There is no bottom to worse, it can always get so much more worse than you can imagine, and that's even at the point where you believe it cannot possibly get worse.

It really does require understanding how things to go bad to make a world that gets better.

Hi Hacker News. For a long time, I've found the the process of installing C on Windows to be not as friendly as other languages. So I made this installer to solve that. This is pretty much my first major public project, so I'm looking for feedback as much as I can. Hope this helps.

Qualcomm's Znew proposal is basically an attempt to skirt ARM royalties while keeping a design that is very close to ARM64 (basically, throw out 16-bit instructions then add some new modes and complex 32-bit instructions ARM uses to make up for it).

This smells of them trying to convert Nuvia from ARM to RISC-V so the entire Nuvia case basically goes away before they get forced to pay out a lot of money.
We've had thousands of years experience with psilocybin. We've already synthesized more potent psychedelics for 75ish years. I'd argue that the safety is well understood, but of course effective dosage in clinical trial are not. However, there's plenty of information from psychonauts out there on how to consume shrooms safely.

But neither of these chemicals are magic. A lot of people are looking for magic pills. A lot of companies want to sell you magic pills. Take a couple pills and your problems go away; that's just not achievable anytime soon. We have to get better as a Western society of supporting people on their various, multifaceted journeys through life.

"Helped by weak yen" is a little misleading. It suggests the exchange rate exogenously impacts the relative value of an economy's output. If Japan was producing a ton of good stuff, and then its money devalued, why would that reduce the value of what it made?

In fact, of course, exchange rates are endogenous. The value of the yen reflects (among other things) the relative value of what Japan makes to what other countries make. If a currency's value falls (and there was no change in the money supply) what it means is people value that country's output this year less than they did last year.

You typically want an Nvidia GPU with at least 8GB of VRAM to get started with this stuff. You can get away with less, but it will be slow going. More VRAM is better.

If you're serious about learning how to use these tools, it's far more affordable to rent a GPU in the cloud. Google Colab even has some free tiers with limited access to GPUs that are significantly more powerful than what you would normally put in a desktop.

In war there is a lot of propoganda on all sides and it's not shocking that western platforms are acting to block this type of thing.

The reality on the ground is that the Gaza Strip is not a free country with a free news media and like we have in the west, and the terrorist government there is focused on producing sympathetic nonsense.

Could you imagine if Germany in WWII was publishing propoganda about how the British were just murdering innocent civilians? The Allies didn't wake up and decide to murder a bunch of people. They did it to counter the german's attacks.

That being said there should be a global solution to refugees and they should be allowed to have lead a full and free life everywhere they exist and not live in camps, but that needs to be settled in such a way that it doesn't leave a terrorist government in power or destroy other country's right to exist.

Covid can be viewed as a metabolic disease. Not only because it may directly reduce the amount of oxygen in the blood, but also because it creates tons of inflammation and oxidative stress, and that stress seems to affect cells and their energy producing apparatus (mitochondria), causing damages. Those acquired damages inhibit the production of sufficient amounts of energy (ATP). As a consequence, this creates a fertile ground for other pathologies: neurological, cardiac, gastrointestinal, endocrine, autoimmune. In many ways, post-covid is similar to the effects created by beriberi and pellagra diseases.

The worst thing is that the incidence of post-covid is hard to predict as it does not depend on severity of the initial disease. If you had a covid, you should be very attentive to a possible onset of post-viral symptoms.
Seems like it's in line with the standard US medical system inflation then.

I think of myself as agnostic on climate change.... Maybe it's happening, maybe it's primarily man-made. Still, I just can't imagine in the current environment where the media blames literally everything on climate change that scientists would be reprimanded by politicians (who are themselves clearly in favor of climate alarmism) for being too alarmist. That does not add up for me.

I've worked in the tech sector so I think I know what censorship and self-censorship feels like. I'm not sure these scientists do. It just doesn't add up.

Qualcomm was still developing a 32-bit ARM core and then Apple came out with their internally developed 64-bit ARM CPU and surprised everyone.

This Qualcomm exec got shoved aside after making this statement.

https://www.pcworld.com/article/447916/apples-64bit-a7-chip-...

Qualcomm quickly switched to licensing a 64-bit core from ARM which was the Snapdragon 810 that had overheating problems. After that the next Snapdragon 820 with Qualcomm's internally developed 64-bit CPU was fine.

That same team was also developing their ARM server CPU but that whole project got cancelled and the team got let go around 2018.
These two probes are mind blowing achievements. It would be lovely to read about the code and the various things it does, along with a description of the computing hardware (which machine code or assembly language or other language was used), etc.

Correct me if I’m wrong. The wording is a bit confusing. I presume the first paragraph above, when it says “to complete”, refers to just transmitting the update (and acknowledgment that it has been saved). The patching with this updated code will be triggered on October 28 after some verification checks are done.
I can definitely relate to missing the days of more deliberate and quality-focused work. In the rush to produce more code, we sometimes overlook the value of precision and consensus building. It's vital to remember that balance is key in the software development world.

Cologne attacks represent such a tiny fraction of immigrants. It’s like saying that 100% of Norwegian terrorist acts has been carried out by white men, and, therefore, Norwegian white men are all terrorists. Complety stupid.
This is what happens when you presuppose a dubious conclusion, and ignore better supported ones.

So according to the smithmag article, there was a 2018 population boom, unrelated to increased temperatures. That same year there was a dieoff leaving little evidence behind, but that was definitely caused by increased temperatures.

Looking at the newscientist article (https://www.newscientist.com/article/2398608-warm-seas-blame...) that Smithsonian sourced from, things are somehow even less clear:

“From 2017 to 2018, the calories they needed quadrupled.”

Between 2018 and 2021, the population fell by 10 billion, or around 90 per cent. “That’s the lowest levels we’ve ever seen them,” says Szuwalski.

The beginning of the drastic drop coincided with a marine heatwave in the Bering Sea during 2018 and 2019.

So, in other words, before the "heatwave" the crabs needed 4x calories?

Then looking at the original science paper, https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adf6035 it looks pretty clear it was actually caused by complications of a population boom and standard dieoff that occurs.
Very strange. The principal purpose of cooler doors is to be insulating and transparent. So I know where my sweet tea or whatever is, can find and buy it without frustration. The money gets collected faster by the business, and I don't quit coming to the store from frustration and annoyance.

Do anything whatsoever to interfere with that, you have a demonstrably worse device. You will spend money to lose money, installing stupid doors to produce a drop in sales.

I cannot possibly imagine this is a good idea.

Ask HN: How do I start teaching my 1.5yo nephew math?
I'm having my nephew over for a week while his parents are on vacation. I reckon it's my only chance to turn him into a math genius because his parents are more of the literature types and I don't have him over often.

I already have an array of non-math related, age-appropriate toys and I don't have high expectations, still I'd like to do something.

I already started trying to teach him to count with his fingers on the occasions where I babysit him. What else can I do, and what math related toys should I buy?

That's made up word. It's actually competition and everyone has right to compete. If you don't want wages go below some level simply set the minimum wage to that level.

Piracy is a crime regardless of the morality of it.
i have probably seen 10 products in this space come and go in way less time than one would think both proprietary and open source. proprietary are either shut down or acquired and made unusable by price explosion or crippling of features. the open source ones always turn stale way before even half of that ambitious integration list has a checkmark, which makes these kind of a joke. relying on something like this seems to never be worth it: the painful parts are usually auth flows and maybe api paging but anything that could cause api mismatch or store data on third party servers is a recipe for disaster. in addition no integration platform i saw that was doing more than hand through the base api surface directly would cover every detail and have quite the level of feature support focus that was relevant to the application. i saw more than once that a company had to add their own app and integration just to handle unsupported cases because they could not afford a complete rewrite to add a critical feature in a timely manner.
That entirely depends on what other interactions you've done recently. If you've moved the dial to any other control, you have to carefully scroll it back to the right place. The highlighting showing which control currently has focus isn't very obvious, especially once Android Auto starts showing two or three apps in split screen. If you want to mute the speech, change the compass heading, go to the Spotify section, etc, it all takes careful dialing.

The dial itself also sucks. It has both a rotary spinner that's too easy to turn and a 4-way joystick that's too easy to nudge. If you happen to drive across a tiny bump (especially with the stock shocks, which are really stiff), you can entirely lose your place and have to hunt for the highlighted control before you can resume. I have to lean forward because my eyesight isn't that great compared to before. It's not bad enough to stop driving, but not good enough to see Android Auto on that tiny screen, of which Maps is only like 2/3, and each button is tiny.

Touch screens don't really have that problem because there's not a control that has focus at any given time. You just poke whatever you want, regardless of current context.

Touch screens (like on Teslas) are worse than traditional buttons. But the Mazda spinner is even worse than touch screens. It is far far more distracting, IMO, and a life-threatening dealbreaker for me.

It's cool if you like them though... I just won't be buying a Mazda anymore, but that car (to my surprise) got pretty high reviews and nobody even mentioned the infotainment UX. Shrug. I'm just picky about these things.
