YouTube on android does something similar. Eventually if you back-button enough you get back when you started. But the amount of presses required increases every few months or so. But hey, engagement and retention goes up!
>Edge also exposes an advertising ID, meant for Bing's Ads, much like what Chrome does for Google. And in true Microsoft spirit, it also has telemetry, which you can't turn off.

Answering the question 'what is the motivation for Microsoft to pay for Edge development?' also answers the question 'why is Edge not an acceptable alternative to Chrome?'
happy to see this, but let's be honest here—it's practically nothing in the grand scheme of things

a ukrainian armor battalion is 31 tanks, so it's not even a full battalion

What percentage of users actually, really care how marginally more efficient their web browser is these days?
I know there's a rule against posting titles like "How To Do X" in https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, but in this case the title doesn't make sense without the "how" - of course Apple's developers reflashed Mac ROMs in the 90s, they had to do it as part of their job, the article is about how they did it.
I don't think anyone can claim certainty on this either way.

My view is that in the past the increases in productivity have come in a period of exponential growth of the software industry and that growth can absorb the additional productivity. But exponential growth doesn't last forever and if you have a period of a declining / flat / slowly growing software field, a significant enough productivity improvement from tools like LLMs can reduce the overall demand for software development.
It's 16 bits on mingw GCC on windows, as that also uses the Microsoft libc. I hesitate to say that it's UTF-16 as it's entirely up to the app to use the type properly.
is this the actors carl hewitt (rip)?
We are really enjoying using Azure Functions to serve web traffic these days. Probably not in exactly the way Microsoft would prefer us to, but it certainly works for us. All our business really requires is simple web forms, some session state and basic get/post request handling. Our users won't cry if they see a page transition.

Az functions might not be the most optimal in terms of per request cost, but for the volume of traffic we are pushing it doesn't scale into the equation.

Operationally, they're basically magic. TLS, auth, etc. all handled. GitHub deploys with zero drama. Whatever margin we sacrifice at the request billing is more than compensated by how well our engineers are sleeping at night.
Yes, but can it be done with a blockchain?
And the ministerial housing allowance exemption[^0], too, which is quite a racket. In this section of the U.S. tax code, ministers may receive part of their salary as a housing allowance which is not subject to income taxes. Moreover, if there is a mortgage on their home, they can still claim the full mortgage interest deduction even though at least part of it is offset by tax-free payments from the church. Double-dipping in other words.

What you're saying

> In their defense, C++17 adds only some incremental changes. There isn't much to port anyway.

contradicts what they're saying

> and we're still on C++11 because the pain of upgrading is larger than the promises of C++14/17.

I wouldn't understand what "pain" they're suggesting since the "process" of upgrading the codebase to a newer C++ standard is merely done by replacing the -std=c++11 with -std=c++17 in your build flags. In 99% of the cases, you call it a day. In the remaining 1% of the cases, you deal with the warnings the compiler may have issued because of possibly deprecated functions/headers/keywords you may be using in your code. Since there are very few of them (https://isocpp.org/files/papers/p0636r0.html#removed), and are mostly quite a niche or very old legacy, in the worst case it's going to be a matter of a few days it will take you to fix them.

Since C++ (thankfully) pays attention to ABI stability (aka frowned upon "backward compatibility"), the code will still continue to run as before. Tada ... you're done.

P.S. C++17 is more than just an incremental release (https://isocpp.org/files/papers/p0636r0.html) and offers a lot of goodies both in the language spec (e.g. guaranteed copy elision, fold expressions, compile-time if, structured bindings, compile-time lambdas, improved TMP etc.) and library spec (string_view, variant, optional, any, read-write locks, polymorphic allocators, filesystem support etc.).

However, that does _not_ obligate you in any sense to all of the sudden rewrite your whole codebase (!) with new fancy C++17 features - the secret sauce in mature dev environments is that you do it incrementally and where you see fit.

Fish authors decided to take a drastically different route, and that's totally fine, it's their code after all, but in the absence of quantifying the "pain" or the lack of "promises" I call it a FUD.
Great article, thank you for sharing! The web-push package has a generateVAPIDKeys have you tried that? Was it not good since you use vapidkeys.com?
500k$ for the impact OpenCV has is dirt cheap. It is a shame they need to do a fund raiser at all. It is a bigger shame I hear about it only now. There are 7 digits "EU sovereignty of AI" projects, that would be so much more efficient by just putting 10% of that money in OSS projects...

Theoretically you might use them for a calendar app reminding people of upcoming appointments, a video call app receiving a call, or things along those lines.

Of course we all know that in reality, 99.9% of usage is engagement spam.
Because this is not a support forum or a stack exchange. I give the idea, then all the test and debugging is for who has to actually make the code work.
That seems absurd. People often have no idea that a product would be useful or desirable beforehand. Perhaps our current level of consumer choice is somewhat absurd, but that brings you to a Soviet style system.
Is it? How often do you experience outages?

It needs maintenance but it's incredibly reliable and resilient if you zoom back a bit.
I'd like to see competition in this space too, but it hasn't really caught up? OVH comes to mind, as well as some smaller Dutch and Swiss providers.
My personal theory of display ergonomy is that a light background is better for the eyes because then you have to dial down the screen brightness all the way to a level that's good for reading (generally something close to paper white in the same environment, and usually much lower than the display's maximum brightness).

Admittedly this theory is only backed by personal preference and some vague recollections of CRT-era ergonomics discussion in 1990s UI design books.
I can't seem to find an explicit save or export option apart from File > Print.
Using that, the Chrome print dialog, "More Settings" allows it to be opened in Preview or "Print Using System Dialog" where it can be saved to PDF.

Alternatively, I just screen captured the rendered image with MacOs "copy selected region to clipboard" command.
Same for appliances. Too much new tech to fail
Spot on. There's a lot to criticize the EU for and it's definitely in dire need of reform in some places, but overall it's a net benefit to all members despite the squabbles, that being anti-EU feels strange.

The wealthy countries that chose never to join like Switzerland and Norway have their own valid reasons to not join (fear of regulation on banking, fishing and oil that's not in their favor) and still thrive due to their wealth. But leaving the EU doesn't automatically turn your country into Switzerland or Norway like the UK expected.

People often do miss the forest from the trees and that stuff like quality democracy and unions like the EU are never a "fire and forget" solution but a rolling grinding game that must constantly be kept in checks and bounds witch citizen involvement and outcry, over generations, otherwise it slowly gets eroded.
I'd rather do nothing at all than partake in the cartel.
No problem! Glad it works now.

it's just artificial growth, though. You're not generating any more engagement than if they'd just show you the content as a guest. Unless you also started using the app as a result of creating an account.
Panzer 87 is the Swiss designation for the Leopard 2A4 tanks. So those are an older version of the modern Leopard 2, similar to those already sent to Ukraine (2A4 to 2A6).
They have been cheaping out on a lot of parts.

A good example is the removal of the spring & washer used to secure the attachments: they are only a few cents of material, but they greatly increase the life expectancy of the mixer. Now you'll have to get those for $10-$20 from a 3rd party...
Is it still relevant in the days of Tensorflow, Pytorch and other high level frameworks that solve computer vision with ease?
I am not justifying this.

L'intelligenza artificiale (IA) è una tecnologia emergente che sta rapidamente trasformando il mondo.

In particolare, l'IA sta avendo un impatto significativo sul mondo del lavoro, sostituendo alcuni lavori e creandone di nuovi.

Sfide

Una delle principali sfide che l'IA presenta per il futuro del lavoro è la perdita di posti di lavoro. I lavori che possono essere automatizzati, come quelli che richiedono compiti ripetitivi o che possono essere svolti da macchine, sono particolarmente a rischio.

Secondo uno studio del McKinsey Global Institute, entro il 2030 l'IA potrebbe automatizzare fino a 800 milioni di posti di lavoro in tutto il mondo.

Un'altra sfida è la disuguaglianza sociale. L'IA potrebbe portare a un aumento della disuguaglianza sociale, poiché i lavoratori che hanno le competenze e le conoscenze necessarie per adattarsi all'IA saranno i più avvantaggiati, mentre i lavoratori che non hanno queste competenze potrebbero essere lasciati indietro.

Opportunità

L'IA presenta anche opportunità per il futuro del lavoro. L'IA potrebbe creare nuovi posti di lavoro, come quelli che richiedono competenze creative o di problem solving.

Inoltre, l'IA potrebbe migliorare l'efficienza e la produttività del lavoro, liberando i lavoratori per concentrarsi su attività più creative e strategiche.

Adattamenti necessari

Per affrontare le sfide e cogliere le opportunità dell'IA, i lavoratori e le imprese dovranno adattarsi.

I lavoratori dovranno sviluppare nuove competenze e conoscenze per adattarsi all'IA.

Le imprese dovranno ripensare i loro processi lavorativi per sfruttare al meglio le potenzialità dell'IA.

Se sei interessato a saperne di più sulle sfide e le opportunità che l'IA presenta per il futuro del lavoro, ti consigliamo di leggere i libri che abbiamo selezionato nella sezione [Libri per approfondire le varie tematiche] del nostro blog.

Questi libri offrono una panoramica completa di questo tema e ti aiuteranno a comprendere meglio come l'IA sta trasformando il mondo del lavoro.

Conclusione

L'IA sta rapidamente trasformando il mondo del lavoro. È importante essere consapevoli delle sfide e delle opportunità che l'IA presenta, al fine di adattarsi a questo cambiamento e prosperare in questo nuovo mondo.
Shouldn’t the money be used more efficiently for society’s benefit or not concentrated by the share holders? Share holders will only further their own interests and not society’s interests.

Story is a hypothetical answer to why we haven't made contact with other intelligent life.

That xenophobic aliens are choosing to ignore us because of inherent differences.

This is how discrimination would look like if you're on the receiving end without your knowledge.
Most of the effort has been done in design. Rotating mass of generators is a nice self-correcting system, also the frequency is a near-zero latency signaling mechanism across the entire grid. Each participant can measure it and make independent decisions whether the grid needs more power or more consumption.

There is a lot of work that goes into predicting and commanding large participants and it's a complex system but some of the design is just beautiful in it's simplicity.
I'm sure PipeWire is technically more advanced, but as someone that just wants to make music using a DAW by tracking external synthesizers, a _bit_ higher latency doesn't kill, especially if the DAW can compensate for said latencies.

It's nice to hear that PipeWire supports more codecs, but here WAV, FLAC and MP3 are more than sufficient for my needs (and the needs of 99% of producers out there)

At the end of the day when I'm inspired I simply want to make music instead of mucking around with config and troubleshooting. It might be that the Linux audio landscape will offer this at some point, but I don't see that happening any time soon.
Even if the software salaries are 250$ per month for devs which is what I read online, I seriously doubt you can find a highly skilled engineer for that price. A highly skilled engineer would only struggle to get the first client on Upwork and earn a lot more or just leave the country.

By highly skilled I mean:

1) Fluent in English

2) Good education - you can't get a great education in isolation it's either from other smart people through online contact or the more likely, face to face(university).

3) Open source projects, ability to pass interview

Even devs would hire a highly skilled dev for 50$.

The whole idea just reeks of americans who haven't left their country.
What's interesting is that the Minecraft netcode is so bad that your client physics doesn't even need to be accurate or even correct for it to work. There is no verification that the client's inputs actually match the player's resulting position (not that they're even sent to the server). The client sends their position to the server, the server does some simple checks for flying, speed hacks, phasing through walls, and that's about it. Which is why there's all sorts of interesting movement cheats, and also why most servers run some kind of third-party anticheat plugin.
"Deep Neural Networks Module: $150k" seems kind of unecessary. Torch/tensorflow already fills that niche so well.

It would open up a powerful new avenue for tracking users if every browser maintained a permanent, identifiable TCP connection, even when the page was closed, and kept it up as the user moves between wifi and mobile data.
> This; and that also includes running macOS version a release, two or three behind, because the newer ones break your setup.

That's true, and it's a widely known wisdom, but in my case my Mac isn't even connected to the network: I'm using it just as an appliance solely dedicated for audio / video editing and production.
Yes, there are definitely things one may do in C++ that aren't possible in Rust. In the absence of bugs, I think you could pretty much recreate any Rust program in C++ and have it be just as fast.

Of course, you can't assume the absence of bugs in real world software. The C++ version would lack any of the safety added by Rust's compile time checks.

In the context of AWS, both containers (Fargate) and functions (Lambda) run on Firecracker, meaning separate VM for each container/function. No shared VMs there.

as far as I am aware opencv has a lot of classical Computer Vision stuff that is missing in tensorflow/pytorch. In case you need speed, or can't have data annotation, or something where deep learning is not super useful (slam) it's still very relevant I'd say.
Kind of true, but also, what is a game and what is a lesson/chore is a very fuzzy line. My 2yo spent a long time picking up tree clippings and putting them into the bin, because it was fun and he could wear oversized gloves. Was it work/learning, yes. Was it play, also yes. The trend of gamification is trying to maximise that effect in many scenarios.
On the other hand, it's more than the 22 Leopard 2A tanks Ukraine had lost https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/02/attack-on-europe-docum... before Oryx stopped updating in October.

BUT if this is about modern dishwasher taking 5h: yes, the last 2-3 hours are just drying the dishes in an energy efficient way. And it works perfectly fine for me and one cycle takes about half the electricity of my previous washer. Who cares how long a cycle takes, it usually runs over night anyway. This is the Eco program, and you can switch to an express program if you want a 2h cycle. If you have really dirty dishes (burnt stuff in a pot or whatever), you can enable extra hot water and even a high pressure zone where you can put the pot. It's a Siemens iQ300, BTW, but almost all dish washers I've seen now work this way. Is it really too much to ask people to skim the manual and figure out what these buttons do? Apparently so...

Well, that's politics for you... lots of back-and-forth discussions and bargaining, and if you look at the end result, you wonder why it took so long to reach it. But this has already been ridiculed in antiquity ("Parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus" - https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Horace).
Also FF long time user. Ime FF is pretty much fine nowadays. It used to have problems, but it got a huge leap in performance around 2017 when they improved multithreading support. Since then it is pretty much fine, aside from the occasional awkward unsupporting webpage.

What I do not understand is not why people do not use FF, it is why people use Chrome instead of Chromium, Brave or some other chromium-based browser that is not google or MS. Surely it is not that much more effort to install one of these than chrome.
Not necessarily an entirely bad thing. Companies have lifecycles. Sure, a mature company might become largely profit focused, and stop innovating like they used to. But this generates surplus to return to investors, and creates opportunities for new innovative startups to fill the gaps that the incumbent is neglecting!

As long as they aren’t acting in a way that excessively blocks/restricts competition, I don’t really see a problem with this. Old companies get boring, and eventually if they get too boring they get disrupted … maybe disrupted to death.
> Admittedly this theory is only backed by personal preference

Same for my argument too.

There is also the cultural factor. The age when I was going to make a decision about which high school to choose and what kind of study to pursue, we had the chance to enjoy the release of a few of the best sci-fi movies/shows ever made. Those movies had the black screen, neon green/blue strokes and fonts as the main design language. Looking at the letters falling down in the movie Matrix, it was like "coooool, I wanna be able to type those in real time and make computer do stuff".

What the post implies about the article (which I haven't read) is that in some measurable way this increased attention results in children growing into functioning, balanced, effective, productive, balanced, adults whose presence and efforts contribute in a more positive way to their community... but this expected result is not mentioned. It is also implied by comparing it to "the West" where, of course, it is easy to find examples of today's youth behaving selfishly, destructively, and self-centeredly. But looking at the accompanying image... well, there doesn't seem to be many opportunities for deviant behaviour in the middle of the jungle! I will eventually read the article, in which I'm expecting to find that these people live longer, assert more confidence, happiness and contentment, within peaceful and harmonious communities (since _everyone_ has had 15 hours of care growing up).
