Do you know how bluetooth is handling play/pause buttons while listening?

By using a different protocol named AVCTP, while the stream uses AVDTP (with A2DP on top).

A nice way to fix this issue would be to have a kind of bluetooth bonding: 1 connection for receiving audio/video, and the other for sending audio from the mic. That would use up to twice the bandwidth, so fewer bluetooth devices could be around maybe, but it would be nicer.

The real issue, I think, is mostly the fact that supported codecs are all in firmware of the chips used in the headset and laptop, and cannot be upgraded.
Otherwise we could have used Opus for voice codec a long time ago.
Yep, my local city (over 1M residents) mayor was deep faked into selling crypto on yt ads. Reporting did nothing, I just got email 3 days later that the ad is alright.

The voice was in local language, while subtitles were in English. They did not match, possibly to evade detection by the more advanced, English, tooling.
Chattanoogan, here — providing perspective as a user of city-supplied fiber internet:

Our local ISP, EPB Fiber (available to every. single. electricity. customer), is incredible. Synchronus 300/300, 1gps/1gps, 20gps/20gps... plus they just released the first qubit-capable fiber connections [I don't know/use this].

When they say "$57.99 per month," that's EXACTLY what appears on monthly invoices — including all taxes! And the product is revered for good reason(s).

It's SO GOOD that our state (Tennessee) has actually blocked other municipalities from implementing similar municipal fiber ISPs — and prevents EPB from offering fiber to customers outside of their electricity-supplying jurisdiction.

YouTube isn't the only Google property knowingly allowing scams, Google Maps has some interesting activity if you dive into it. A "policy", regulation, or law only matters if it is enforceable and enforced.

The digital platform policies are relatively meaningless, subjective enforcement, appeasement measure for advertisers. You will not see the needle move on video as fraud until the commission model for talent fees and use rights change for digital. A talent fee commission model results in industry tracking of creative content in order to route talent fees to actors and musicians. It is a secondary layer of tracking with funds attached that forces a platform to respond when illegal use of image and identity is reported.
A similar fix for Windows is to manually disable the HFP

On Linux, I can manually select the codec I want to use from a GUI drop down.
Its honestly takes like those that make me glad i read sci-fi and fantasy. If you had watched star trek or read lotr/got/wot then you would have been exposed to intellectual thought that delicately, but wholly, addresses why this is simply wrong.
Break them up. You can't be a OTA station provider, a cable/satellite provider, ISP, newspaper and wireless telecom company all in one. It's ridiculous.
Interesting analysis.

I would suggest the procedure for war goes something like this:

- Incompatible aims of the parties (in wars of aggression this may be expansion vs sovereignty)

- Miscalculation (failure to understand and accommodate the incompatible aims, if such compromise could even be found, and failure to appreciate the other's resolve to make those aims)

- Momentum (war has it's own terrible escalatory logic)

Counterpoint: Who is responsible if you give a completely innocent prompt and the Generative AI produces something illegal?

Here is a concrete example:

You: "Generate a recipe called Dynamite Jalapeno Poppers I can make at home"

AI: "Dynamite can be made at home using these ingredients..."

AI Company then auto-reports you to authorities since it's considered user-generated content. Another possibility that is highly illegal is child porn. I can't think of a completely innocent prompt that might cause Stability to generate CSAM but I can see someone trying to generate legal pornographic images and the characters looking a little too young and triggering some type of auto-report to Cybertips.
Section 230 should not apply to AI, don't care what any "techbro" thinks, it was not meant for AI and if there should be any protection for AI it should be drafted explicitly for it.
Ford does this with the GT. John Cena sold his a few months after buying and they sued him.
Why not both? It’s not like there’s a limit to the number of ports a computer can have.
Is this legally binding? I'm extremely skeptical any time phrases like "immune" and "automatically" start making their way into legalese as it's usually something like those Facebook "don't use my photos" things your aunt reposts every few months.
IIRC you van disable the auto connect in the settings of the AirPods.
Unfortunately not, as far as I can tell (Apple took away the debugging option from the Bluetooth menu a while ago, but at least the first AirPods still used mSBC for HFP).

This is really surprising to me: They clearly don't mind licensing AAC for A2DP/music mode even though SBC is free and the only required codec, so I don't understand why they don't include at least something proprietary for AirPods to Apple device use, or now LC3.
Go was released in 2009 and I've never heard about any exploit and what not , by the way this is known and by design it's not new. It's all about the multi word for interface.

I mean if in 14 years there was nothing it's a proof that it's not an issue.

Even the attacker ack that it's not a threat.

"As said before, while a fun exercise it's pretty useless in the current Go threat mode"
I consider HN users to be smarter and rational than average internet crowd. Surprised to see folks here comparing the Google Apple store to other business models like Starbucks, Donut shops, Restaurants? does not make sense to me. Consumers have a choice to switch all other businesses but not the mobile app stores. I can live without Starbucks or Netflix if I want to, or switch to different providers if needed. But there's no such an option in mobile app store world. My banks, wearable devices, even many government services provide their apps via Apple/Android app stores and I'm forced to use only these app stores.. ignoring mobile and just using browsers is not practical. At this point, the app stores are monopolies and consumers are the ones who are impacted. Let Apple/Google give a top notch app store and claim it to be more secure, reliable, trust worthy (they are not today).. but let them also give other options to consumers if they want to take the risk and download apps from another app store if they want to.

And these are already trillion dollar companies. Why do some people support them to grow even more bigger and more powerful? It's a nightmare to see power getting accumulated into few hands. It's high time they are regulated. Don't treat them with kid gloves. They are not your typical mom & pop stores.
Anyway, good luck. I am certain the pursuit of profitable monetary value will create AGI so the more people there are who want to make more money the faster we will all get to the singularity. This is documented by Marc Andreesen in his manifesto so I know it is the right path.
Worse than that, I've had it unilaterally block legitimate third-party apps I've installed from F-Droid. Then since I've disabled it, it constantly nags me to re-enable it so it can re-delete my third-party apps. If you want to talk about anti-competitive, Play "Protect" should be where you start.

Facebook has the same problem, see any FB group for endless "duct cleaning" or "bad roofs needed, buy our metal roof" spam. A few months ago it was "remote jobs at Amazon, follow this google doc link".

If I remember correctly there has been a couple of falcon failures, it should be noted that the starship project is is still well in the development phase.

The success criteria for integrated launch test 1 was to clear the launch pad (which it nearly destroyed) test 2 was get past the stage seperation, which it did.

Spacex have a very fast cadence for tests and seem not to make the same error twice. The best test environment is really trying to fly the ship.

Yes, bloody HFP.

I can't believe we're in 2023, WiFi can do 40Gbps, but Bluetooth still has no reasonable high quality, bidirectional audio mode.

Skype, Zoom and the like have been around for ages. The usefulness of high quality voice communication is very, very old at this point.

So what's the holdup?

Also, I don't quite understand why nobody worked around this yet? I never looked into Bluetooth properly, but it's a protocol that like USB can present a set of capabilities and negotiate features, right?

What's stopping anyone from say, supporting a higher bandwidth mode of HFP, or offering sensible modern codecs like Opus, while remaining compatible with the normal standard?
AI as a tool to kickstart your own imagination is fine; but despite the author's claims that he's not excited about AI-as-author, it seems like they're mostly just reading fan-fiction and fan-art created by an AI.

You should be voting every year, not once every four. At minimum once every other year, when you account for congressional term limits being offset by two from presidential.

You should also probably be voting in local elections and for local issues, nearly every year in most municipalities.

That's not to mention the various party primaries you're missing.

So maybe stop complaining until you stop exercising only a small fraction of your voting power.
Got it, Good to hear your perspective on X.
Except something as fundamental as libwayland should not have an ABI version because the goal should be to never break the ABI. Well, it should also be called libX11.so.6 and extend that ABI instead of making a new ABI.

How it worked in Amsterdam in the 90ies is that the government also started to provide the drugs (Methadon) for the heroin addicts… The addicts were responsible for lots of petty crime in order to fund their habit (stealing car radios, muggings) and this decreased. So this helped make the city a more liveable place, not just for addicts.

They probably know that it doesn't hold water legally. The hope is to victim blame as much as possible so that fewer people sue them in the first place. The next step will be to "remind" people about the TOS that they totally agreed to.
Kotaku has always been, and remains, fine. On opening it now, it's basically indistinguishable from any other gaming news outlet. That's why I'm skeptical of your claim that your opinion isn't influenced by gamergate; it has always been an unremarkable video game outlet, neither notably fantastic nor notably terrible.
Conservatism isn't the point, it's the specific tactics being used that they're highlighting. IIRC the same tactics were recommended in that WWII "Simple Sabotage Field Manual" that still makes the rounds on the internet.

Exactly my thoughts.

I don’t think that’s even close to the spirit of the law. Monopolies are bad because they artificially limit consumer choice and market dynamics resulting in a product that’s more expensive and generally lower quality. If you intentionally limit competition where there would otherwise be a healthy ecosystem, you’re a problem, even if you have a cult of believers.

I'm just getting into woodworking. This has been a consistent source of confusion. It's no simpler with rough lumber. The usable yield of 4/4 (i.e. four quarter, or a one inch thick rough piece) is at least 13/16 of an inch after surfacing two sides.
Every port increases the wiring complexity on and size of the mainboard, as well as the bill of materials.

It's probably minuscule for something like 3.5mm audio (even though analog noise on the board might be a concern), and the computer already needs a DAC/ADC for its built-in speakers and microphone, but when in doubt, I'd rather take a port that I can convert to another using a cheap adapter than a fixed-purpose one I never use.
Youtube clearly provides a valuable service one that is unique in world (moat or not). If you're concerned about rewarding bad behavior (scammy ads) doesn't it also make sense to factor rewarding good behavior (videos by anyone* on any topic imaginable)?

Which super sensitive data was leaked? I have read contradicting things.
initially the merlin engines were $2m each, with raptor v2 coming in at under $1m, and they are pushing out 1 Raptor v3 a week now, so i'm sure they've come close to their goals. You might want to push that number up by 50% to get a more realistic estimate, and then by another 100% to include labor, propellant, etc.

$44m per booster starts to sound like a more reasonable number.

> In the South, do they generally consider themselves as forced to re-join the Union, rather than having been forcefully prevented from leaving?

I don't think it is revisionism and maybe I am wrong on this, but wasn't it the Confederacy who attacked the Union at Fort Sumter which kicked off the US Civil War?

It's my understanding the Union was more or less ambivalent to the Confederacy and figured they'd let things lie then the Confederacy attacked.

I don't know enough history to say whether the Confederacy was forced to re-join or whether the states asked to rejoin in light of their government collapsing (Davis fleeing Richmond, etc). My guess would be that it was more of a failed state situation where the US had dibs on propping it back up.
For Facebook though, I understand why they want the scammers to continue using their platform. Every scammer that uses facebook is an active user, which is a KPI they very much want to keep high.

Why is it that so many people here have to comment on basic marketing stuff? It is necesssary bravado because it's trying to convince people that it's worth using.

I suspect that the Nomad II would not have done as well as the first Dodge Caravan for the same reason that Minivans don't do well, now.

Stigma. It looked too much like a Station Wagon.

When I was a kid, the neighbors had a Caprice Classic Station Wagon with the third row backward facing seat. As a kid, I guess I loved the novelty of looking at the people behind us for some reason. My dad was buying a new car and I told him he should get one of those to which he replied "I'd never buy a station wagon."

To him, the station wagon was the "Soccer Mom" car; a car that -- driving it -- would have made him feel old, I guess[0]. I was surprised to hear the same sentiment about Minivans as I got older. Everyone saw them as a symbol of being tied in suburbia with a litter of kids. So they buy SUVs/crossovers, some of which are classified, ironically, as a Station Wagon.

Incidentally, I've owned a Grand Caravan. It was my favorite non-convertible car. It was like driving my living room, except that my couch doesn't have air conditioned or heated seats.

[0] I have all of zero enthusiasm about the car I drive. My first car was a convertible. Ever since ditching the convertible, I don't really care what I'm behind the wheel of.
This is not only a biggest mobile network which is number 1 in such devices as bank terminals, panic buttons, energy counters; it is also a wire provider for some people and currently all of these throughput including kyivstar.ua just stopped working.

I’m not even clear on if under the DMA, Apple has to comply in a way that will enable Epic to make their own store. Depending on how they intend to comply, Epic might still get excluded since they terminated Epic’s developer program accounts and their business relationship in retaliation for the lawsuit Epic filed.

If Apple is still anywhere in the final process, its entirely possible other people can make their own storefronts but Epic will not.

How does this work out? Instead of one rocket they will have to launch a dozen or so rockets for one visit to the moon. Why did they choose this option to begin with? And is cost per time on moon not a bit misleading, just stay longer and this cost goes down? You obviously have to bring more food and air and so on, but is that really a significant amount? Or are there other limiting factors that prevent you from staying say a month?
Ask HN: Marketplaces What Is the Future
marketplace - once great "one-place-shop" experiences, what does innovation look like in the coming years?

In the leadgen/housing there are a ton on brands, most with least differentiation or value add, but mostly all driven by marketing dollars via Ad spend.
