I wonder how many of those people who want immortality currently avoid smoking, drinking, drugs, air pollution, junk food, get long sleep every night and regular exercise - all those things that are much easier than immortality and can meaningfully increase the chances of adding one, two, three decades of quality life.

And then avoid social media, clickbait, ragebait, idling, gossipping, and live in a deliberate and conscious way to make the best use of their time (best according to their own metrics).

(Given that 66% of people are overweight, seeing 59% say they would like immortality suggests there's overlap. Not that I'm preaching, I don't do much of that stuff, and there is argument to want immortality to fritter away on enjoyments and relaxing and that maybe people are unhealthy because they are 'driving it like they stole it' for their limited time - but it's possible to play the finite lifetime cards we're dealt a lot better than than most of us do, without even getting to extremes and maximising things).

Steam Controller gave us Steam Input, which works with:

- Steam Controllers

- Xbox 360 controllers

- Xbox One controllers

- Xbox One S controllers

- PS3 Controllers

- PS4 Controllers

- PS5 Controllers

- WiiU Pro Controllers

- Switch Joycons

- Switch Pro controllers

- A bevy of other third party controllers

All with shareable layouts, hosted by Valve.

The Index gave us Steam VR, which supports:

- Valve Index

- Oculus Rift

- Oculus Rift S

- HTC Vive

- HTC Vive Pro

- HTC Vive Cosmos

- Razer OSVR

- Pimax 4K, 5K, 5K Plus, 8K, and 8K Plus

- Dell Visor

- Samsung Odyssey and Odyssey+

- Acer AH101

- HP WMR

- Lenovo Explorer

- HP Reverb

- Varjo VR-1 and VR-2

Along with their support for OpenXR.

Not to mention Remote Play, and the variety of platforms they support with that. Or the hosting for cloud saves.

I'm not saying this costs billions, but I do think you're missing quite a bit of what Valve do when they launch something. There's quite a lot visible for people to actually see and use.
I would love to use a proportional font for coding but I am not aware of any Vim frontends that cleanly support it. I would be fine to stick with using monospace when using Vim over SSH but even though Neovim has opened the floodgates to frontends it seems that very few support proportional fonts (and the ones that do tend to be painfully slow to use).
It, like most utopias, mostly just requires unlimited and undeniable resources to obviate most reasons for competition.
I have a sh*ton of conveniences that make it good. Using Foundation only would be a pain indeed (for now; they are rewriting Foundation in Swift with better APIs, so it might get better).
You probably already know this because it's absolutely the top cause of what you describe, but eating raises your core body temperature, and people who eat within an hour or so of going to bed frequently experience this symptom.

While soldiers carry firearms, due to decades of tradition designed to reduce the possibility of an escalation, agreements disallowed usage of firearms, but the Chinese side was reported to possess iron rods, clubs and batons wrapped in barbed wire and clubs embedded with nails.[191][192] Hand-to-hand combat broke out, and the Indian soldiers called for reinforcements from a post about 3.2 kilometres (2 mi) away. Eventually, up to 600 men were engaged in combat using stones, batons, iron rods, and other makeshift weapons. The fighting, which took place in near-total darkness, lasted for up to six hours.

The fighting resulted in the deaths of 20 Indian soldiers ... While three Indian soldiers died on the spot, others died later due to injuries and hypothermia.[199] Most of the soldiers who were killed fell to their deaths after losing their footing or being pushed off a ridge.[193] The clash took place near the fast-flowing Galwan River, and some soldiers from both sides fell into a rivulet and were killed or injured. ... According to Indian media sources, the mêlée resulted in 43 Chinese casualties.
You still need personel in the datacentre. Remote location makes it more difficult. But I woiuld imagine that latency is the biggest issue. Even university super computers - where I would imagine latency is not an issue tends to be close by.
Takes bravery to talk shit about tech or gaming sites on this one, thank you. Enjoy downvotes as your reward :(

I don't think it's a total scapegoat, Google ate the advertising market, ad-based revenue is quickly becoming an unsustainable model.

At the end of the day, 2.4 GHz frontends can be done in the same silicon process that makes your SoC and the antenna needs to be nothing more than a PCB trace, so what on earth was going to save Nordic from competition?
Needlessly insulting, but correctly critical of the "...our technology has not..." premise.

There are many definitions of immortality. The Oxford definition is "the ability to live forever; eternal life."

That seems to jive with GC's point. The definition is the ability to live forever, not the requirement to live forever.
One of the nice things about living in a safe suburb, I can leave my door unlocked and packages out for 24+ hours and they are never stolen.
I bought a Galago Pro 5 in spring of 2022. I use it regularly, though not for my day job, and my keyboard has been fine. I haven't had any issues using a Thunderbolt 3 dock with a 4k monitor.

My only complaint is sleep mode on Manjaro is not low level enough. The battery drains enough that I can't leave it sleeping for more than a couple days unplugged.
If elixir had types, I'd use them. Right now I'm using it for functional programming aspects, coherent design across libraries, liveview, and the amazing OTP library. Those to me are much more important.

With proper discipline you can get a lot of type-like behavior if you use structs to represent your data and ensure they're being passed in function args through pattern matching.
It might indeed.
Precisely. There is a lack of political willpower, not regulatory ability.
Watch a SIM swapper rob a T-Mobile store for the employee's tablet
People need to rent/hire U-hauls to move. If that required a diff class of license it would suck for people who move —which is most people.

Like I can move things myself. I don’t want to hire movers or a driver. I want to do things on my schedule.
A young man sits in a car, pointing a cellphone camera out of the window, seemingly trying to remain undetected. As he breathes heavily in anticipation, he peers at a T-Mobile store across the road from where he is parked.
Suddenly, there is some commotion inside. An accomplice grabs something off a table where a T-Mobile employee is sitting. The accomplice, dressed in a mask and black baseball cap, then bursts out of the store and clumsily sprints towards the car.
The man in the vehicle starts laughing, then giggling uncontrollably like a child. The pair got what they came for: a T-Mobile employee’s tablet, the sort workers use everyday when dealing with customer support issues or setting up a new phone.
You can get started with esp32 for $5. Nordic devkits are more expensive, and going past that requires a JTAG programmer, which is an expensive option for hobbyists and students.

It's not surprising that they have taken off like they have. Initially it was because it was inexpensive, but now the community is huge and that is a very attractive selling point.
If by "this" you meant a caste-like system, then my experience at Intel in 2010s was very different. Different people (contingent workers with green badges and others with blue badges) worked well enough together, and got well enough along (with one or two instances being the exception, not the rule). That's funny about the white badge. I am sure they could have gotten new ones, engineers have the funniest status symbols...
No, it's the ridiculous irony of thinking everyone would cooperate, but would still want to kill each other.
Any activity is better for your heart than sitting – even sleeping
> perfectly acceptable

The point is it's not, though. As a society we have generally established that it is rude to be speaking out loud on the phone in public. Especially on the bus or the train or waiting for same or in the shop or at a movie or any number of other places. I genuinely think it would be easier instead to list the places where it would be okay (in a busy street, if you step to one side). Even in these places there is some expectation that you show a little shame to be doing it, as though you didnt want to but had to because the call is important

android apps is more than an interop or JNI calls, it needs the "jvm" and lots of java libraries, docker-alike solution is the only thing I can think of that it could possibly work, but it's very heavy on cpu and memory resources when you have many apps to install. it seems to me infeasible to be Android apps compatible when Vega is used, nobody is going to rewrite all Android apps in RN.
Just to be clear, this blog post follows the recent announcement that Nordic Semiconductor would join a RISC-V consortium.

In terms of actual products, the first chips with RISC-V cores were announced back in April:

Michael Collins was also CAPCOM (capsule communicator - the one who was actually talking to the astronauts) when they initiated TLI (translunar injection - leaving earth's orbit for the first time). He was the one who said "Apollo 8, go for TLI".
In my view Social Media is characterized by being advertisement funded (HN technically fulfills this), being poorly moderated (HN does not fulfill this IMO), being engagement driven (HN isn't) and encouraging parasocial relationships (HN doesn't). HN is closer to a web forum of the 90s than modern social media.
Playful Programming
It's actually the same link, only that this one didn't go through some random translation service. But yeah, it means that both HN's duplicate detector and a quick search to see if the link has already been posted wouldn't find it.
This constant vilification of one of the great figures of tech history is tiresome. Yeah, maybe Steve Jobs was not a great person, but why should constantly overshadow his tremendous successes?

Steve Jobs was a forceful and perhaps disagreeable character, but he is one of the clearest examples of how having relentless drive and taste can change the world. Focus less on the feet of clay and more on the giant.

And not to diminish Wozniak’s tremendous achievements, but Steve Jobs continuously innovated over the course of decades and had a much greater impact on the world.
Definitely! And make sure to sell to consumers too if you want to compete.
Anecdotal, but I wanted to build a 3D printer, most parts are simply not available in the EU if you are normal person. Even stuff like hex-bolts and t-nuts are impossible to source in the EU outside of specialty webshops where the markup is 2000%.

And that was just the mechanical parts...
> This is a done with a transaction called a "withdrawal."

Yes, but…

Just Google “large withdrawal problem”

Or just read this: https://www.theguardian.com/money/2015/sep/12/big-cash-withd...

It depends who you are and where you are, but there’s no doubt that bank customers often have sudden, expensive, unexplained hold-ups in their attempts to withdraw. Sometimes, even for tiny amounts of very low 4 figures even. It can be terribly inconvenient.

It’s annoying, but you can ameliorate withdrawal bank hitches by advising the bank in advance of your plans. But if you don’t confirm it first, then do not expect to roll up at your bank and be handed $10,000 without hassle. Especially if you didn’t do it before.

This is NOT usually an issue of banks being frightened of a bank run, like some folks are guessing here.

It mostly is the bank’s low-level staff concern that a scam is in progress, that you are an idiot being cheated, and their fear that the bank will be liable and have to pay for your loss.
yea if you want to go it the investing route, you need much better returns than 4% real. Personally I've been beating the market with algorithmic trading (https://grizzlybulls.com/models/vix-ta-macro-mp-extreme) but it's still a long game unless you start with millions
You could say the same about SSL/TLS. Why don't we just pass laws that make spying/wiretapping illegal, and then send our passwords over the wire in plaintext? Privacy is a people problem, but we can still fight for it using tech. Tech won't solve all our problems, but it can definitely solve some.

I view bitcoin as on the same layer as TLS. The spirit of the internet was corrupted by Facebook/Google/etc, but the underlying tech still works. The spirit of bitcoin was corrupted by the exchanges and speculators, but the underlying tech still works. Both give you the power to take back some of the power that ordinary citizens have lost—if you know how to avoid the bad parts.
Talk about difficult maintenance
Yeah this is nothing new, I'm just saying that Linux is looking to service this better.

I suspect the parent comment is primarily referring to Riak Core, which was another layer of abstraction above Erlang’s OTP for distributed processing.

Riak the database used Riak Core, but it could be used independently of the database.

I hadn’t thought about Core in a long time, I should take another look.

Looks like someone is carrying the idea forward: https://riak-core-lite.github.io/
You should bear in mind that just because you didn't tip the barber, and perhaps no one you knew tipped the barber, that doesn't mean no one thought to do so.

As I've shown, it's been a common practice for a long time.

Here's some more data points for the 1980s:

A 1989 book for teens on etiquette says you tip your barber $1 or more: https://archive.org/details/dearteenager00swan/page/180/mode...

In a 1987 sociology textbook comparing the US system with the jajmani system at https://archive.org/details/introductiontoan0000barn_n9p2/pa... :

"In the United States a man who wants to get a haircut goes to a barbershop, waits for his turn, has his hair cut, pays for this service, and gives the barber a tip. If he lives in a city, he may go to many barbershops in the course of a year, not being obliged to patronize the same one all the time."

To be sure, this could also be a class issue. I grew up in a working class family and it wasn't until I was 26 or so that I learned (some, richer) people always tipped the housekeeper at the end of a hotel stay.
Ah, yes: because if you're not "ambitious", aka "driven to become a multi-millionaire, no matter what it costs to get there", then you must be mediocre and lazy.

Nice false dichotomy there.
I’m sure having to evacuate was very hard on the people of Fukushima, I don’t doubt that. But, burning fossil fuels is also causing us to abandon entire towns (costal towns), and at a much faster rate.

Burning fossil fuels is too expensive.
Is it what you see online or what you see in one on one interactions? I would guess this feeling is mostly based on what you see online. If that's the case, ask yourself if that's useful to feel this way about it.
> Work and salaries ? Like from their own pocket ? No. That is the business money. Wasted. Time, attention, of peoples wasted.

It actually blows me away sometimes the willingness people w/i companies have to just spend money that isn't theirs.

It's not even the calculation of build vs buy, they'll spend exorbitant amounts of money for nothing in particular. It makes me understand the stereotypical budget constraints, because without them people would just waste money left and right.
DEPN: Detecting and Editing Privacy Neurons in Pretrained Language Models

You're entitled to your perception, but not an outcome. Laws around value transfer, KYC, AML, consumer finance, etc exist current state. Fail to observe them at your own peril [1] [2]. TLS and in transit data encryption are legal and unencumbered, so viewing them at parity with systems like Bitcoin is not accurate.

Broadly speaking, data privacy is legal, monetary privacy is regulated (except in small fiat amounts under cash reporting limits). FinCEN, SARs, etc for US specific examples. An unregulated, distributed transfer of value system is unable to coexist with nation state regulations and desires to control the currency. Do not pass go. Go directly to jail. OSI layers.

The difference being that in that case, about 1/3 of the power was spent on production, while in the case of the nuclear power plant, less than 1% was. (The uranium enrichment facility produced materials for a lot more than the plant that was powering it.)
Maybe AI training would work but there you get into data security issues. These are often custom builds with special security measures to stop spying / theft
If only the bitcoin algorithm had been designed with a slow-but-steady inflation rate built in.

That would have eliminated the speculative "store of value" incentive and created a true currency.

Inflation is not a boogieman. When slow and steady and predictable its a net positive for society. It incentivizes investment and doing productive things with your money instead of holding it in non-productive gold or gold-like digital commodities.

> Of course this would get upvoted on HN

I agree for less pessimistic reasons. The Hacker News crowd prefers intellectually stimulating conversation. Considering unexplored alternatives.

Exploring ideas is a huge pillar of this community. Engaging in that process doesn't mean that any of us think this could happen in the real world.
I’ve been a moderately competent user of computers for 33 years. At no point, ever, in the setup of a new device, has a changed setting at the start of a hardwired laptop keyboard then resulted in the inability to then input correctly. You may be absolutely correct, but from a user experience perspective, what the actual fuck? It wasnt like I was plugging in the dvorak version or was connecting my french layout keyboard by PS/2. It is literally the keyboard it came with. On a Mac you can later change the option, but the bloody thing already knows what keyboard it has and won’t let you make a user hostile mistake at the beginning of your setup journey. Imagine the confusion for the average person
Here' a video on this incident, demonstrating the differences between the different tubes and showing what to look for: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DlfLthx89E
I guess I'm not sure what the "marketing machine" is here. The Rust team published an article _on their own blog_ and someone posted here on HN, then people discuss it if they're interested.

I mean every language has some amount of "marketing" - people speaking at conferences, etc., but it's not like you're getting product advertising here in the form of commercials on TV or advertisements on the side of web pages. I think what you're seeing here is genuine interest.

Unless you're implying that HN itself has some sort of algorithm bias to push Rust posts to the top?
Yes. But you're going to have a unique TCP connection per host, at minimum.

Unless I'm misunderstanding the problem you're raising, it seems like a non-issue for the majority of people with multiple accounts (a work email, a Gmail, a hotmail; for instance).

> There isn't a world where someone is using and app, and would prefer to see generic advertisements versus finding out about deals on products they care about or new products that they may be interested in

This is literal propaganda. Who said I have to choose between bad ads and even worse ads? Are you insane?

> Unless of course you are bought into the bullshit bogeyman of "oh no, company is building a profile on me, that MUST mean they are going to use it for nefarious means"

Yes, you are insane. This is exactly what they do: profit with the ads, profit with nefarious ways they sell and transform the data they gather.

> If you believe this, then you either virtue signaling off the ideology that companies and capitalism is evil, or you personally don't feel like you have enough self control to make decisions on your own despite what is being shown to you, and if so you really shouldn't have a say or vote in this.

I think you should avoid getting near a keyboard, you doesn't seem to have enough mental acuity for a healthy communication.
JetBrains Rider Implemented .NET WebAssembly Debugging
Ah, I misunderstood your point, I took it from the point of view of how React Native is used in the context of writing Android applications.

As for Amazon, naturally if this goes forward they don't seem to care about keeping the Android ecosystem on their Fire tablets, as most likely doesn't bring them the business value they care about.

Note that FireOS doesn't run standard Android applications anyway.
