Qualcomm has trusted input for at least touch sensors into their trusted enclave (unsure about microphone input at this point). Look for "TUI" in https://www.qualcomm.com/content/dam/qcomm-martech/dm-assets...
Great reply. I have some follow-on questions -

Would you market yourself as an expert on these in a job search or as a developer etc, with additional expertise? Is this an area where companies typically need people full-time, or is it better suited to short term contracts?
That seems like a pretty remarkable pace of innovation, no?

The primary reason a government in control of a strong military (e.g. U.S.) wants to restrict private gun ownership is so that they can scare the populace indirectly by means of rampant crime, riots, etc. which they tacitly permit (or secretly encourage) The population is thereby forced to go along with ever more draconian laws and regulations because their safety is (or is perceived to be) threatened.

Long term? You say that like the Sun will go out and we’ll need artificial power to survive.
And if such an effort leaves the jurisdiction, to a country with no obligations to the litigating country?

We need to dispel with this idea that sociopaths in suits have earned or legitimate power.
The influencers are the key, and unless you are a big influencer, leaving twitter as an individual will have negligible impact. The former is big enough that the latter will stay even when all this is happening. It is indeed a medium, but it's a medium becoming more and more compromised, as we've seen over the months

So you either need influencers to shift out (which is happening, slowly. But I'm not sure if it'll be enough to "kill" Twitter) or somehow generate a new batch of influencers for a competitor. Both are hard.

According to the article that model had motor problems, many of the replacements were refurbs, and it took Tesla a long time to figure out the actual problem.

Oh boy. I was shaking my head in agreement while reading your comment, until that part:

> Why HNers are pro-VPN but anti-Bitcoin, when both stand for privacy and censorship resistance at the price of reduced legibility, is beyond me.

neither vpn nor btc are "for privacy and censorship resistance". Maybe in some dystopian neoliberal every-man-is-an-island way. I think you were thinking about "overlay networks (tor et al) and communal economies" maybe? Those would fit with the rest of the claims.
The point is if you have to remind people then you’re doing something wrong. The insight to draw from this is not that everyone else is misinformed about googles abilities (the implication), its that Google has not capitalized on their resources.

> Why is it that American society automatically considers a field “useless” if it doesn’t produce massive economic value?

That’s not what “useless” stands for here. The way I understand it, it stands for “useless for the purpose of being able to financially support myself and my family [compared to almost all other alternative degree choices]”.

No one is talking about “maximizing profit”, just “having a high likelihood of being able to live comfortably and feed my family”.

Unfortunately don't need graphics expansion I need a workstation/desktop-replacement build. Believe that is a bigger market than enthusiast/PC-games, but could be wrong.

Stack overflow dev survey says docker is far and away more popular, but that doesn't absolve the need to build your binaries...I'm just surprised given kotlin's usage in android.
Look, I love AMD, but there are different groups of open source people here. One group is trying to broaden the support for desktop Linux across all hardware, and the other group is trying to crunch numbers with GPUs and build support for that. There isn't a super strong overlap, and I think the former group is currently larger than the latter.
Because, despite what the HN hiveminds think, the company has been performing extremely well under Sundar.

Unless he starts destroying Larry and Sergey's wealth he will remain as CEO.
>Politics that effects you doesn't happen in Twitter replies, it's happening between politicians privately and with engaged people on the local level.

I can't full agree. It may not be as immediately effective as politicians, but politicians are beholden to the people, and people are influenced by influencers. So loud influencers can indeed sway public opinion and even political policy simply by posting on twitter. The largest one being the now owner of the entire site.

I agree the comment replies are just the peanut gallery, but I think we're well past the point in society where social media is "just entertaining noise".
Modern 'rubber ducks' similar to the one in the picture aren't even made out of rubber but plastic. They get called rubber ducks because they were make of rubber when invented in the late 1800s. Amazing what you can learn on Wikipedia.
Motors are recycled (as cores and copper). Most of the motors in this car were rebuilt from cores, for example.

Batteries are also increasingly recycled, either as units or as their components.

It's a publicly-traded company. Wall Street's basically the whole ball game.
The "sane" way of combining those is that the date takes the role of the major version, and this mostly applies to big projects that are pretty much guaranteed to have at least one breaking change in their twice a year release. Then you can say 2023-06-01.2 for a maintenance release on top of 2023-06-01.

Whether or not LGBTQ+ people should be arrested and potentially executed is not at all comparable to holding disagreements about tax policy, or whether bridges should be funded over tunnels.

I pointed out the Quantum Annealing as a special case in a different thread. I think that it's the only one of the Quantum computing technologies that has any future.

I also believe that future isn't unlimited, as I strongly suspect someone will figure out an algorithm on a conventional computer that can simulate it efficiently, thus negating its advantage.
Have you considered that mankind simply trained itself on the wrong criteria on detecting understanding?

Why are people so eager to believe that electric rocks can think?
I genuinely would like to know more about how the material for EV batteries is acquired. If society proposes we all switch to electric cars, then we should know about all the externalities. Not just the ones that are local and convenient for Westerners to think about.
Nearly all of them, because any language designed in the last 30 years permits user defined libraries in trivial fashion, even amazingly letting you write those libraries in the same language you’ll use it. And even more incredibly, the libraries themselves can build on other libraries! (There’s even often a standard allowing libraries to be shared by different implementations
… or rather, a standard that actually standardizes things beyond the language aesthetic)

Agreed. Great book. Glad you enjoyed it.
That's just standard erlang/elixir- because all values are immutable, when a new anonymous function is defined it copies the current value of the external variables into it.

You can do it right now even without Flame, just by opening two Elixir nodes, then it's as simple as

```elixir

iex(first_node@localhost)> name = "Santa"

iex(first_node@localhost)> Node.spawn_link(:other_node@localhost, fn -> IO.puts "Hello #{name}" end)

Hello Santa

#PID<1337.42.0>

```

Note that while the string interpolation and `IO.puts` was run on `other_node@localhost`, it still did stdout from the first node- this is because it was the one that called `Node.spawn_link`, making it the 'group leader'. Outside of which stdout it went to, all the work was done in the other node.

It's false, it's the 9 months-down-the-line telephone game of a unsourced rumor re: mixture of experts model. Drives me absolutely crazy.

Extended musings on it, please ignore unless curious about evolution patterns of memes:

Funnily enough, it's gotten _easier_ to talk about over time -- i.e. on day 1 you can't criticize it because it's "just a rumor, how do you know?" -- on day 100 it's even worse because that effect hasn't subsided much, and it spread like wildfire.

On day 270, the same thing that gave it genetic fitness, the alluring simplicity of "ah yes, there's 8x going on", has become the core and only feature of the Nth round of the telephone game. There's no more big expert-sounding words around it that make it seem plausible.
I don't think it's even that. Despite the rhetoric, corporations aren't people. They are made of people you should (mostly) be polite to, but the entity currently known by X is not a person.

It's a matter of respect. No one is expected to respect a corporation.

That just pushed the "major" into the package name.

You've released package foo version iv2019.01.01 and now need to make an incompatible change. You mark foo as deprecated and release foo2 version iv2023.12.06.

That is not an improvement.
Alternatively, you can go high-level immediately - instead of accepting a UDP packet to set the color, run a webserver on it with functionality to change the RGB LED color that you can access from any browser. Modern microcontrollers have enough resources to just spend them like that.
The Messages app is the only one everybody has no choice but to use though, since it’s the only one on iOS that does actual SMS, which is needed for interacting with businesses and in other scenarios. It’s also the most discoverable one and the only one that comes on the phone by default. It has a privileged place in the ecosystem, and that’s why it’s a potential target for antitrust regulation.

Speaking from second hand experience, not having an undo button can be a lot of fun too because it can inspire you to paint something you hadn't intended to when you started out, or force you to try what you were doing in a very different way. What started as "mistakes" can end up being your favorite part of a painting.

That said, painters also have a lot of options for fixing errors including repainting over the whole canvas. The few painters I know often revise old works adding or removing elements months/years after they were first finished.

It seems like painting in general is a lot of fun "real" or otherwise, although personally I've never been any good at it, it's still usually a good time.

> The whole point of Wikifunctions is to expand capabilities beyond what Scribunto/Lua provides

The whole point of Wikifunctions is to support Abstract Wikipedia. Abstract Wikipedia deemed Scribunto/Lua as irrelevant ("out of scope", specifically) to their work.

The Google.org Fellows suggestion was to consider detaching Wikifunctions from Abstract Wikipedia, since Wikifunctions has value beyond Abstract Wikipedia's goals as a general-purpose community library of computing functions, but could still be used to serve the purposes Abstract wants from it.

Wikimedia said no to that suggestion, so here we are.

You are mistaken. I may be on the Orange Site, but I am in fact not an entrepreneur or a techbro pulling $100+K/yr. I'm not rich enough to waste money on delivery services.

I recently got mad that the Wendy's biggy bag went to $7 and eat out less because I'm not paying $10+ for a single meal unless it's something I can't (easily) make at home. You can't get Subway for less than $12, and it's a fucking sandwich.

> You have to be willing to live with something less feature-rich than what you can get on the latest iPhone 27 Max Pro(TM). And you have to be gutsy enough to click an "Install some other OS" button in your web browser with your phone plugged into a USB port.

I agree with all of this, but realistically it's not just a simple matter of being willing to live with less features - this is a significant amount of work to investigate, implement, and upkeep for someone who is techy, let alone a less technically-inclined person.

I have no doubt Google could (and might) enforce a lot of these rules on the device, but they likely route it through the cloud if there's a new "exploit" that they want to block ASAP instead of waiting for the app to update.

This is an example of the reputational risk Google has to deal with that small startups don't. If some minor app lets you forge photos, it's not a headline. If an official Google app on billions of devices lets you do it, it's a hot topic.
