MS does this because they aren’t in the same business as Apple.

Apple is in the device business. They make most of their revenue by selling you a new device.

A 10 year old Mac is basically a brick unless you want to mess with OpenCore Legacy.

The solution to this problem is to target a newer OS like Apple wants you to. Their users are going to buy a new system anyway, they’re the most affluent segment of the PC market.

You could use client credentials flow with a certificate. Then all you need is to register the public key with the server, much like good old SSH.

The problem as as the public I need to have/create useful policy. Studies are a lot better than my "gut feeling". Sometimes my "gut" is right, but sometimes I conclude heavy objects fall faster than light objects.

Thus I want scientists to study things and help figure out what policy will make the world better.
Personally I think something like a mid-to-late-90s Ford Ranger or Chevrolet S10 is the best possible taste in vehicle. Nothing but pure utility.
> Putting a queue between the event sources and the db is usually recommended.

That depends on the nature of the events and whether you can live with the database being out-of-date while the events are still in the queue.
`ProxyJump` already exists, so you don’t need to know where netcat resides on the jumphost anymore.

SNI-like metadata might have some adverse security implications, but a fancier ProxyJump with session routing would be nice.
I went looking for MuZero implementations in order to see how, exactly, they interact with the game space. Based on this one, which had the most stars in the muzero topic, it appears that it needs to be able to discern legal next steps from the current game state https://github.com/werner-duvaud/muzero-general/blob/master/...

So, I guess for the cards Forge has implemented one could MuZero it, but I believe it's a bit chicken and egg with a "free text" game like M:TG -- in order to train one would need to know legal steps for any random game state, but in order to have legal steps one would need to be able to read and interpret English rules and card text
Well Lying to the FBI and other federal agents is direct violation of the law

Lying to general police while not direct violation of the law, can be (and has been) prosecuted under several laws such as obstruction of justice, also several states have statues making false or misleading statements to police or public officials during in official investigation. Then there are also laws that prohibiting lying in specific context like your name, address, and other details.
This kind of sentiment always shows up after the fact but the hard part is actually knowing it ahead of time.

Emphasis on knowing. I’m sure some people thought it was a bad idea ahead of time. But there are always people who think any new idea or big change is a bad idea.

The reality is that anything significant has to be tried out, for real, to find out. That’s the premise behind proven useful decision frameworks like agile or MVP. And as the GP says: good management shows up when they read the attempt clearly and resist the sunk cost fallacy.

Bad management sounds like “let’s never change anything” or “we’ve already come this far, we need to finish it no matter what.”

And to a large enterprise, tens of millions of dollars is not an existential amount of money to lose on trying something significant. Big sports teams lose that much on bad player moves all the time. “We can’t ever waste money on trying new things” is a great way to sink deeper and deeper into whatever rut you happen to be in at the time.

Have you done much on "high power" semiconductors yet?

It occurs to me that we're throwing around amps on ICs now that would've been well past "magic smoke" territory not all that long ago; perhaps you might find some ESC chips or something that demonstrate how this progress is being made?

Aurora predictions only go out 3 days at https://auroraforecast.com/ so I suppose that's about how long it takes the charged particles to get to earth. Time frame at the NOAA site are even shorter.

Neither seems to be predicting high probability in the US so I suppose the "Biggest solar flare in years" doesn't necessarily result in a significant increase in the chance of auroras.

By "dollars" people often mean cash. That which the top 5% has is largely assets, not cash.

The king of my country is an stark example of the difference.

Real estate is more valuable the closer it is to the castle, and the king owns the castle, which is in the very middle of the most valuable area. It's never been sold, so its value can only be estimated. Estimating from its location, it's vastly valuable, from which follows that the king is very rich and should pay a lot in taxes, right? Or you could say that it's not saleable, so what the king has is a leaky old building with high maintenance costs and negligible utility, negative value, and from that follows that the king shouldn't pay anything in taxes (well, disregarding his other property in order to simplify the argument).

Most of the top 5% have this issue, of course not as starkly as in the case of a king.

Taxing assets is tricky. Thinking of assets as though they were cash muddles teh issue, and makes it more difficult to find fair tax rules.
Which laws of physics are you refering to? To my knowledge, there is no law that says that a tiny driver of arbitrary geometry (could be multiple tiny drivers) couldn't reproduce arbitrary pressure patterns in the audio frequency and intensity range.
You’re a Dozenalist. There are dozens of us!

What makes it especially appealing to me is that we don’t need to invent new names for the digits A and B (though I’d like to come up with better glyphs than reusing those letters).

Ten and Eleven work just fine, and can be used for larger numbers like “forty-ten” (₁₀58) and “eleventy-four” (₁₀136)

Another bonus is that when we transition to this superior numbering system, I can sneer at the metric world, what with their archaic finger-based measuring system. The Foot will return to a place of honor.

THe problem is everyone's interpretation and implementation of micro-frontend is different.
On your computer? Opus, AAC, MP3 with a good encoder and an appropriate rate? Many choices are widely available and transparent.

It’s the hidden codecs that still degrade audio. HD radio, most Bluetooth protocols, mobile and landline phones and the networks that interconnect them, etc. You don’t get much say in these.

Interview: The Threat of Self-Censorship in Science
This implementation is QR code based, which ruins a lot of the value in terms of low-battery use and makes standardization and acceptance difficult.

Anyway, for anything to work in the US, there needs to be an incentive for businesses to use this system, and right now, there isn't one for point-of-sale driver's license use, in my opinion. It's technology (perceived as unreliable, slow, expensive) that can break, vs. looking at an ID, which isn't without its faults but is a simple system everyone understands.

If there were a really fast, simple, cheap, readily available system for age verification which was pushed to bars, I could see this system catching on, but "limited private pilot programs" aren't it.

And that's pretty much my point - starting with places where technology is already required (banking etc.) makes more sense in many ways than starting with driver's license replacement. The issue here is that the horribly broken identity system in the US is Federal (Social Security) while these electronic systems are State.

I just watched this Tom Scott video this morning about a Chinese company that created a "pod" where you can replace the battery instead of charging it.

You can buy the car and rent the battery. Each time you need to "recharge", you change it.
A better idea, in my opinion, is rebasing the currency, to some form of standard like gold - and ceasing to print pretend money, that only results in currency deflation, and retail inflation.

Sure, but your comment said "maintain", not "store". Even if storage were free, and even if you discount the value of the initial creation to zero, there are still nontrivial serving costs associated with many sites.
What I share with people on the Web may look like a static byte sequence to the robots consuming it, but it takes a lot of work to compute those bytes (in the moment, I mean). Aggregated over the whole web, no, that is not smaller than OpenAI's expenditures.
Moral: you can buy 20T drives for $300. No excuse for not copying your data onto them now and then, and storing it disconnected from a fragile password.

It isn’t some cultural/moral US problem, and it doesn’t really have anything to do with puritanism.

It is a universal “i was in the moment and paid for a sub to a porn website, but the day after I regretted that decision and decided to make a payment chargeback/reversal and claim fraud” problem. Which is what leads to payment processors (Visa/MasterCard/Amex/etc.) designating adult-content providers as high-risk businesses, as each chargeback has a cost associated with it. And a good number of payment processors decided it wasn’t worth it to deal with them due to that.

If this was a uniquely US problem, then payment processors providing services outside of the US would have no issues with working with, let’s say, EU-only adult-content providers. However, something is telling me that Visa/MasterCard absolutely don’t care about the locality of service of any given adult-content provider, and neither do they care about any of the moral decisions here. It is all about the bottom line and the cost of doing business.

Hell, payment processors never even claimed any moral ground for refusing to work with adult-content providers, which would make sense for them to grandstand on for the boost in their public image, if the whole thing was truly due to some puritanism culture around nudity in the US. But nope, payment processors claimed as much that it all boils down to the cost of doing business with adult-content providers due to high chargeback rates.

Also, even if efficiency was not a concern (maybe you don't pay for your own electricity and you somehow managed to build superconducting voice coils and speaker cables), getting arbitrarily high pressure from an arbitrarily small driver requires arbitrarily large excursion. If you somehow overcame all the mechanical complexities of this, you'll still run into the problem of finite speed of sound. The higher the excursion the faster the cone moves for the same frequency, and at some point it's going to go supersonic, which is certainly not good for distortion.
So You Want to Bribe a Politician [video]
touche ;)

Your initial comment was 9 words long and asserted that he was a troll with no justification whatsoever ("Check the history" isn't a justification in the same vein that "do your own research" isn't). While it's possible that you went through his full comment history, pulled out all the stops to do a psychometric profile on him, and concluded that he was acting in bad faith, I find that unlikely given how brief your comment was.

So far as I can tell, his comment history might have "bad takes", but they're consistent with mainstream conservative ideology. Unless you want to write off the entire right wing as acting in bad faith for holding their beliefs, I don't think it's reasonable to assume someone expressing conservative beliefs are acting in bad faith. On the other hand, I think most liberals and conservatives would agree that accusing someone of acting in bad faith without the requisite justification, is bad faith behavior and should be called out. Even the bad faith accusation is actually correct, we as a society can't tolerate everyone flinging around unsubstantiated bad faith accusations indiscriminately.

Commercial hydroponic greenhouses frequently add CO2 to the grow room to increase yield: https://dutchgreenhouses.com/en/climate/co2-enrichment If high CO2 levels reduce the mineral content of vegetables, then everything coming out of the Netherlands has been the nutritional equivalent of wax fruit for quite some time now.

Somewhat awkwardly, the CO2 produced by the Climeworks DAC plant was initially sold to such a greenhouse, which was used to boost plant growth and then immediately exhausted to the atmosphere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climeworks#Projects Carbon captured... but not quite sequestered.

Tree plantation was supposed to be a supplement to protecting existing forests, not a replacement. Anyway, monoculture is bad. Restorative initiatives are way more effective.

The calendar proposed by the article has the same problem, see the part about the yearend period and leap years. Yes, the issue occurs less often, but the question "what date is one month from today" still doesn't have a simple answer. Do we want 36 days from today? Today's date next month? What if today is the 2nd of Decilis, are we talking about the 2nd day of yearend or the 2nd day of Primilis?

These questions are a pain in the ass with the Gregorian calendar and they would be a pain in the ass with this one, and basically any conceivable calendar. No calendar can change the fact that there isn't an integer number of days in a year, and that the closest integer (365) doesn't have nice factors for making a calendar out of.

Ask HN: Anyone Waiting on BT Auracast?
Hey folks. Anyone out there waiting for BT Auracast? It was announced June 2022, and immediately struck me as must have.

I lost my earbuds, but it seems ridiculous to get a replacement without Auracast, seems like surely if I'm going to make a decent sized purchase like that it needs to support group playing. I want to tune into the radios of other people on the metro or on the bus, want to be able to watch a movie on the plane with someone.

Having been announced so far back now, I've been struggling with expectations. I keep assuming this has to be happening someday soon! I'm really hoping the product announcement season that's right around the corner had a good number of Auracast announcements. Has anyone else been struggling with expectations here?

Side note, a ton of it is over my head but it's been so so fun tuning in every once and again to see how Zephyr's Bluetooth Audio work is going. Just wild now much has gone into this! https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/commits/main/subsys/bluetooth/audio
Not only one throat to choke, but most C-Suite had direct or indirect experience with what the old IBM (not sure about the current IBM) could do in those infrequent situations with high-impact, high-visibility, nasty technical problems. IBM had a well-defined process in place to handle these when they occurred. If the local team couldn't fix it, they could declare a "critsit" (critical situation) that launched a process that allowed them to pull in amazing resources and bypass red tape.

In one that I had direct experience in, they flew in one of the software's developers to do onsite troubleshooting. Also, being the hegemon of the tech world, IBM often would take the end-to-end role and not just stop at their boundary of a tech problem. I was involved in one in the late 1990's where we were running Netscape's iPlanet web server on an IBM JVM (on IBM's AIX) and it had a nasty memory leak in production where volumes were higher. We called Netscape and got what felt like a guy with a pager on the beach (it was outside business hours when we called); not helpful at all. We called IBM and things started to rock & roll. Eventually we had someone from their UK lab tracing the JVM until he found a JNI (Java Native Interface) call from external C-code (which would have been iPlanet's code) that had the wrong value for the flag that indicated who (JVM or C-code) should release the memory. He could have stopped there saying "not IBM's fault" but he just kept going reverse compiling the C-code to find the bad call. We were able to get back to Netscape saying in module yadayada.c, somewhere around line 47, there's a JNI call with flag=0, change it to flag=1. The patch from Netscape fixed the problem.

These infrequent critsits are something the C-suite remember for a very long time. They know that no way in hell their own staff could resolve these situations, especially in the days before the web, Stackoverflow, shared-knowledge, etc. If not for IBM squashing the bug, their bacon would be fried giving unsatisfactory explanations to their CEO.
Dollar coins make sense, moreso as time marches on. They sure have tried, but until they stop printing paper dollars no one will use them.
True, but that doesn't get back the farms in the same quantity that nutrients left. some farms near the city get more than they need while others get very little. Most fruit in the stores (US at least) is grown in Chili - they have a great climate for this (there is lots of reason to debate this that would take books to get into, so for now lets accept this simplistic statement), but how much sewage from the US goes back to that area? Cattle produce a lot of manure, some farms sell that to local farms and it goes back to the soil (dairy farms typically do this - often they own the fields the cow feed comes from), but other cattle end up on giant feedlots where there are not enough farms around to take the generated manure and so the local fields end up over fertilized while more distance farms don't.

Note that this waste is a bio hazard. So the obvious, just send the waste back to the fields in the empty truck cannot work. Once a tank has been used for waste you cannot use it for food again. Thus you end up with twice the trucks gong back and forth if you try this - and this in turn presents more CO2.
