> You know they did what we called controlled burns too, right? Like, we're not just talking about clearing for grazing land.

Sure, on the East coast. And sometimes it was done to encourage only certain species of trees to grow.

This was far from "gardening", though.

It was ruthless industrial-grade resource extraction that completely ruined ecosystems. As a result, the biodiversity of large animals in North America is so poor compared to Africa or South America.
I would suggest replacing "proprietary" with "in-house" then.
I came here looking for this. The write-up is interesting for a deep dive in Apple interfacing… obviously though is too involved for a simple library card. Thanks.
What an incredible amount of private information to publicly spill on the internet. Some “friend”.

Good catch! It is indeed a JavaScript runtime for Service Workers.

By "for", I was attempting to make the point that it's intended to be deployed to non-browser JavaScript/Wasm runtimes.
Electricity is only used very indirectly in damaging practices, and in a way its promoters could not have foreseen. It is also (indirectly) used for good. AI image deepfakes have no good in them, and its bad use was clear before it was released. They are not the same.
"Show HN" is nice because it signals to the community that the submitter is posting their own work. I hope merging the threads doesn't spoil the feeling :)
I’ve heard it theorized that the reason we are less tolerant is that we have fewer children. It was once not uncommon, not even that long ago, for a family to have several children, and one did not make it through childhood.

It was still tragic, of course, but I think people find it significantly more tragic if you have one child, and that child does not make it through childhood.

But I definitely agree that both are factors. I think the perception comes largely from the Internet. Everyone thinks crime is going up, even when it is going down, and the only reason that makes any sense is that we simply hear more about it.
Those companies didn't have the right to violence in their home countries, they waged wars in other countries instead. Companies overthrowing their home country hasn't really been a thing.
agree. arithmetic in computer languages do not have a theoretical basis that matches the theory of arithmetic in standard algebra. for example,

if a = 0.3 b=0.4 and c=5 as f32 in rust, then the following "well known results" from the article are all false:

(b) a+(b+c) = (a+b)+c is false
(d) a*(b+c) = a*b+a*c is false
(f) (ab)^c = a^c b^c is false
(g) a^b a^c = a^(b+c) is false
(h) (a^b)^c = a^(b*c) is false

Can you do Wireshark style packet captures somewhere that show it? Very likely that would be what support would ask for.
Interesting, will see how it performs
I think that has more to do with not understanding routing and firewalls. Vpns usually have something called a kill switch that force tunnels all traffic to avoid leaks.

While I can see it does at times make it more difficult to do certain things with the proper permissions, know how and set up there is nothing it cannot do.

"The SABERS concept proposes a battery that meets the key performance criteria through development of a solid-state architecture battery utilizing high-capacity sulfur-selenium cathode and lithium metal anode."

This isn't even a result. It's a proposal for funding. There is no "Solid State Battery from NASA". There is, at most, a prototype cathode.

There are real solid state batteries. Maxell has tiny ones for sale.[1] Many companies are making solid state battery noises, but few, if any, are shipping a product. Toyota's announcement of Real Soon Now has the Financial Times writing "The trillion-dollar question is whether solid-state batteries — a technology that promises greater range and safety than lithium-ion ones, and which Toyota has indicated it is near to mass producing — can be that miracle."[2]

Solid-state batteries are the next overhyped big thing. They may eventually work, but they don't work yet.

Typical solid state battery company hype site: [3] Note pictures of green and eco scenes and renders of battery modules. Note absence of product data sheets. If you dig enough, you find "Note that we have not completed the development of our multilayer commercial battery cell..."

I love it when my town gets onto HN.
Draw a Stickman
What I've seen is (more or less) the mainline kernel maintainers for whichever kernel have the objective of making sure the drivers compile.

They can't test what they don't have, and I haven't seen evidence than any open source kernel has a testinfg time with large fleet of hardware for tests. There's more or less an incidental distributed test fleet as users have various testing setups, etc; but driver mistakes in obscure hardware tends to get found late.

It's not unusual for drivers to be found to have been broken for years, and then unless the reporter can fix it, or the fix is obvious from the report, the driver gets removed.

Another path towards driver removal is some interfaces get updated in multiple steps: a new interface is added, drivers are updated to the new interface, the old interface and any drivers that haven't been updated are removed. If nobody has stepped up to update the driver before removal, that's an indication of disuse; sometimes they get added back after removal though.

For the record, Windows isn't necessarily better. I had a printer where there was a working driver, but Windows would prefer the non-working driver from Windows Update, and it was impossible to get that fixed.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday drew a connection between the conflict with Hamas and the Arab-Israeli War between 1947 and 1949, which occurred as Israel declared its independence.

“The war inside Gaza is going to be long. This is our second independence war. We're going to save our country,” Netanyahu said.
> Taco buyers tend to be a much more balanced and pragmatic sort of truck owner, and I seldom find anything obnoxious about them. Not sure why this is

I can tell you exactly why, in middle America at least. Buying a Toyota means you prioritize reliability and getting work done. Buying a Ford or Chevy (invariably a large cabin, premium leather comfort model wearing a pickup truck as a costume) means you prioritize image. Sure you might get work done with it - though I know way too many who don't - but it wasn't what you set out to purchase. It has to be American, it has to be big and have a fancy grille silhouette, and it has to be nice and cushy to sit in.

These scripts will build a complete RDP-accessible Linux desktop environment in WSL. A GPU isn't needed to see a significant performance gain over 'stock' XRDP.

A story I found interesting on the farm equipment development, was the effect that games like "Farm Simulator" are having as feedback on the actual industry. [1]

Especially the "actual" gamist stuff. Like, "we need actual 3m tractors, they can't all be 9m $multi-million sales. How are we supposed to start out farming?"

Except the industry does not "natively" think this way. Which is so crazy. They all just wanna make the big sales and ignore the little guy. Note the quote below.

I’m confused why you claim attribution is somehow “unnatural”? Every actually useful lecture, essay, report, etc. I’ve encountered included things like footnotes, references, or a bibliography. So much so, in fact, that I tend to disregard things that don’t include them. So-and-so claims X. What are their sources? There are none? Who cares. Life is too short to engage with arguments that lack rigor or support, even though these things themselves require verification!
It is a bit sad you got downvoted because what you say follows logic and that's all there is to it.
The gay people have won the ideology war and got strong political support right now, but truthfully being gay is not something that should be encouraged or supported because as you say, in the long term it has unbelievably bad outcome for the survival of our species.
It is the same for single mothers, and my belief formed by my own experience, is that they bear lots of responsibility for the bad outcomes, but you can't say so...

My own mother decided to separate from my father for her own profit, to be able to do whatever she wanted to do, whenever she wanted to. She proceeded to neglect my brother and I at the most crucial time of our growth and simultaneously blamed my father for everything. Both my brother and I have suffered bad outcomes, considering the potential and other variables. And that is with her being a pretty high-income woman (top 10% consistently).
Now I am at a time in my life where I'm starting to look back on history and various facts resurface that make me understand things in a new light. I am at the point where I wonder how such an irresponsible woman even got allowed to have all the power other us.

There is something extremely wrong with our current society where women are allowed all the rights with none of the responsibility. In my opinion, such news/statistic is just the tip of the iceberg, it is something really easy to observe with no study anyway (you need the study because otherwise you will be called all kind of name for daring to hold women to any kind of standard).
The problems run much deeper than that and it is way too late to do much; it will take major events to bring meaningful change.
To be fair none of those operations require a re-pull; not a single one.

He's talking in global terms here. This isn't directed at people from wealthy nations. He's talking about places where the majority of calories come entirely from grain, not because of dietary preferences or convenience but because of economic realities:

>The global definition of an affordable diet is one that costs 52% or less of average household expenditure. Using this definition, 3 billion people – over one-third of the global population – cannot afford a healthy diet. In other words, buying adequate food would mean spending more on it than on housing, energy, education, health, transport, clothing and all other items put together.

When the speech is promoting and supporting a terrorist organization (according to UK law), the police have a reasonable expectation to investigate and see if that individual is providing other material support to the organization.

It is literally peak FAFO.

That's 100% intentional. In any case, non-GPL modules cannot be upstreamed (except with a license that is compatible with the GPL, e.g. BSD is okay), and cannot touch a lot of parts of the kernel.

Also, loading a non-GPL module "taints" your kernel (this cannot be undone except through reboot) and tells everyone on the support mailinglists that you've loaded proprietary code.

I first encountered consumer grade versions of these on This Old House. I’m not sure when, but I stopped watching it regularly probably twenty years ago, so at least fifteen?

> Apple was an exception and this feels different to me.

They were an exception because they already had the bestselling smartphone at the time they switched away from the 30-pin connector. Apple could have put a DC barrel-jack as the main power connector and the market would have no choice but to adopt it. They seized the opportunity to create a functionally-identical protocol to USB and encumber it with a licensed connector for personal gain. Regardless of how you feel about the connectors at the time, this was not a serious alternative to USB.

> Everybody and everything is standardizing on USB-C.

Yeah, I wonder which company was known/hated for pushing USB-C early-on as a connection standard yet not fully adopting it themselves.

> If you don’t see any potential downsides you aren’t looking hard enough.

No, if you don't see the problem with the status-quo then you're being blinded by baseless loyalty.

From a regulatory perspective, the situation is this; public utilities cannot converge on a serial specification as long as the iPhone uses Lightning. So, they have to weigh the benefits and downsides to the scenario. Apple's connector is more physically advanced, but also license-encumbered and genuinely impossible to standardize a-la USB. Apple made no attempt to formalize Lightning under USB-IF. Their horse isn't even on the racetrack.

If you consider Lightning's value to be greater than the overall harm of converging on a USB standard, then you should lobby Apple to make it an open spec and remove MFi in favor of USB class-compliance. Until that point, it will be deservedly remembered by history as a petty attempt to push unwanted IP on customers who would otherwise have no choice in the matter.

You have absolutely hit the nail on the head.

you live near a local farmer that sells low cost produce. you have the time to prepare meals. you have either good refrigeration or the time / accessibility to purchase produce on a frequent basis.

Soups are great. But they take a long time to make. A lot of poor people's situation is that they can only get groceries from the dollar tree that prioritizes non-refrigerated goods and they have a very limited amount of time to do any of this. So you can make your cheap carbs (ramen/rice/pasta) + condiment or instant foods which suck or you can get some fast food which is very rewarding. Neither are healthy.
> A healthy, nutritious diet is much more expensive than a calorie sufficient one. As a result, three billion people cannot afford a healthy diet.

Is that so?

Yeah, could be. Plain white rice is a very cheap calorie sufficient diet. It's certainly cheaper than a healthy, nutritious diet.

I find GPT-4 pretty amazing at coding myself. I have learnt basic R language + a particular package within it, enough to solve an emergency issue that barred us from launching a product for a coding competition within 24 hours of only having heard of the language before, just barely meeting our deadline. The team was amazed and I could never have done it without GPT-4.

Otherwise I'm regularly coding with it as an assistant while it's not always 100% correct, it's often decimating the time especially when I can request things like a website skeleton layout and it just seamlessly doing it all using CSS flow layouts and whatnot. I ask it to implement a Javascript library for a chat-style interface with bubbles and just bam it's there, even adapted for existing code.

I'll still have to debug and I _will_ still find issues occasionally but the win is still often enormous for me.

ChatGPT 3.5 though. That's mostly just a toy, yes.

NICE! Way to stick with it OP!

Speaking of loud earbuds, I might have the opposite problem. I use Bose exercise earbuds on the treadmill at what I believe is a comfortable and conservative volume, but my iPhone gives me a notification that the volume is too high and I am wrecking my hearing.

Is the phone correct? If so, I'd be willing to sacrifice a bit of enjoyment for a bit of ear health. However, there's a compelling alternative hypothesis: these earbuds have a distinctively lower physical volume at a given volume setting than others I have used, so lazy modeling on Apple's part could be expected to generate a false notification like the one I receive. I want to commend Apple if they did the right thing and built a database mapping (model,volume_setting)->physical_volume. Unfortunately, the complete lack of details in the notification and feature description do not inspire confidence and I do not want to make my workouts shittier just because Apple put a college homework quality model into production.

Does anyone here know if the data science backing these notifications is competent?

It’s disappointing whenever I read advice like this. Working 70+ hours a week isn’t healthy nor sustainable. Taking breaks can help prevent burnout and improve productivity.

The COVID years put a lot into perspective for me. I used to work longer hours, but realized how limited our time is. In 2020 we lost my father-in-law to Multiple Myeloma. Then in 2021, my father died from Pancreatic Cancer. Finally, in late 2022 my mother was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. It’s been a challenging period for me, but a positive is that it makes me more frequently evaluate if my life is in balance. Our time here is limited.
Even though Claude sounds French, it seems it is not directly accessible from European countries? I'd love to give it a spin.
The solution is obvious, though: wealthy individuals, or collectives of such, should pay folks to live an authentic, poor, impoverished life, protect it as an island of authenticity, for some set period of time, and that person is forbidden from accessing their new wealth personally for X amount of time.

I'm not joking. This deal would appeal to many people who both want a hands-on life but who also want to retire to someplace other than an authentic, brutal poorhouse. In return, society gets to (synthetically) maintain a different way of life, which may come in handy when things change, when climate, asteroids, or revolts make "the old ways" more valuable again. And in the meantime, it would maintain a secret, private getaway for the ultra wealthy to enjoy very occasionally and discretely.
